Is Any Ford Raptor Worth $130,000?
Would you pay double the original MSRP for any version of the Ford Raptor, no matter how special it may be?
As it stands, the Ford Raptor isn't exactly what most folks would call cheap. With a base price of over $50k and the near certainty of options and dealer markups, Ford's fantastic off-road machine is already out of the reach of most. But this is a special vehicle, built for a certain handful of people. It isn't the mass production machine that the F-150 is, nor designed to appeal to everyone.
Of course for some, money is no object. More important is the desire to either stand out from the crowd or own the very best machine money can buy. For them, tuners like Hennessey, Roush, and Shelby sell exactly that. Through the aftermarket, folks with the means can buy a seriously fast, seriously capable Ford Raptor. But of course, that comes at a (huge) price.
With all of the insane dealer markups on the Ford Raptor we've seen, you can forgive FTE member BIGKEN for mistaking a Shelby Baja Raptor for a regular one in a recent dealer ad. But the post he started here in the forums started an excellent discussion surrounding value. After all, the original MSRP of the Ford Raptor in question came in at $68,165. The Shelby package nearly doubles that figure, commanding $129,988.
So essentially, would you rather have two new Raptors, or one Shelby Raptor? Even if owning either is a pipe dream, it's still a fascinating question. For most, it's a simple proposition. Things like this are awesome, if not obtainable.
"More money than I can fork over for sure," admits Pocket. "But there's people out there that want them and are willing to pay."
"Nothing I would afford if I could afford it," says CR172.
"Nothing I can afford, but I bet that runs faster than a fresh ****ed fox out of a forest fire!" remarks VTBulldog.
And while most have a hard time justifying the price, some feel like it's reasonable by comparison.
"I saw a Shelby F-150 for $96,000 when I was in Austin, but the Shelby Raptor is a completely different beast," said Wiggums. "If the Raptor costs $30,000 more than the F-150, then it sounds logical for the Shelby Raptor to cost $130,000 or above."
So far, it seems like most agree that even though this special Ford Raptor is out of reach, it's still pretty awesome. But we want to know what you think! Is any Raptor worth $130,000? Or have we officially reached the point of insanity when options nearly equal the original cost of the truck? Head over here and sound off!

Tonight…I can't seem to get cherries out of my mind.
Perhaps, it has something to do with the upcoming G.irlz T.hat D.ance W.ith G.irlz (http://www.girlzthatdancewithgirlz.com/) G.T.D.W.G. party THIS THURSDAY in downtown NYC.
These monthly events are so very special to me and this one particularly so. The theme is *CHERRIES* and as always it is a play on femininity, a comment meant to claim woman-ness and at the same time celebrate the fun of female sexuality..."Twist My Cherry"…INDEED!
Anyway, it has me obsessing a bit. Thinking about what I'll wear, what games to play–the options seems endless really! And naturally, on this day when I am typically fixating on sex toys what better way to express all this pent up excitement than an ode to cherries and SEX! And so, without further ado I present to you…
Cherry Pastease to get you in the mood.
Cherry panties for you, or me, to remove later.
A cherry flavored lube to warm you up.
A cherry colored dildo get the job started, with a vibrator to finish the job.
Cherry flavored whipped cream to lick it up.
With visions of sex under the cherry blossoms, Kama Sutra style.
A Kiss shared with a…Girl…with a Cherry in her mouth.
Whether you are joining us for the event Thursday or simply someone who enjoys cherries it is my hope that my list of cherries-to-get-you-in-the-mood does just that!

It's officially arrived: the date that I stopped looking at wedding porn. I've deleted all but 2 cherished sites (for their written content and not the wedding stuff) from my google reader. I've been inundated for the past months with images of glamourous, vintage, alternative, shabby chick, etc, etc, etc, weddings and I've finally maxed out.
No more wedding porn for me. No more new ideas, no more thinking up new diy projects to put a little more of us into the big day. I'm done. That's right. Aside from finishing up the crafts we have on the go, there will be no more wedding related craftiness to discuss, debate, or dissect.
I'm a little bit relieved and a whole lot of happy! I've enjoyed all the great ideas that have come about from the wedding craftiness quest and have loved all the creative projects that have been spawned from my internet perusals. But the day is here: I'm done. No, not quite all the projects, but all the new ideas.
So thank you internet for inspiring, frustrating, and challenging me. It's been great, but wedding blogs be gone...

Stuttgart part ways with manager Hannes Wolf after Schalke loss
STUTTGART, Germany -- Stuttgart are looking for another manager after parting company with Hannes Wolf on Sunday.
The Bundesliga team said the decision was made following discussions with Wolf that lasted well into the night after Stuttgart's 2-0 loss at home to Schalke on Saturday.
It was Stuttgart's seventh loss in eight games across all competitions and it left the side just three points above the relegation zone.
"We need a new impulse to get back onto a more successful track," Stuttgart sporting director Michael Reschke said. "None of us wanted to be in this situation and we would very much have liked to have continued working with Hannes, because he is an exceptional coach and a wonderful character."
The 36-year-old Wolf led Stuttgart to promotion as second division champions last season. He had been in charge since September 2016.
"Miguel [Moreira, the assistant coach] and I are very grateful for almost a year and a half of unbelievably intensive and mostly wonderful times," said Wolf, who wished the club "all the very best."
Stuttgart said a decision on a successor will be made "in the next few days."
Many Stuttgart fans feel the club were hasty with their decision and that Wolf deserved more time to turn the team's fortunes around, with some supporters defending the coach on Twitter and saying the side's problems originated at boardroom level.

Or Block Party with a K as my pass said. I like that. It indicates a level of unpretentiousness, like 'who? block huh? ok, cool, well I guess they can play. So long as they clean up after.' Which seems acceptable. Even Roger Daltrey did a bit of hoovering.
The relatively young kids from Bloc opened with new tracks from their latest album Four but we all (people I call friends or other lost but worthy souls) were wishing they had launched the night with Kettling as its becoming a fast favourite. They did play and nail it later, or kettled it if you will. Bloc before part B have also encouraged me to utter the phrase 'I fucking love kettling' in day to day life which is another unexpected bonus from the album.
The academy is a beautiful venue and the sound bloomed up to its vast ornate ceiling while lasers danced across the cornicing. It was a little sweaty and the crowd were definitely more enamoured of the more established tracks like Banquet, Helicopter and Two More Years but in the 'pit' there was a good and gorgeous wave of limbs dancing excited by pumping limbic systems.
Octopus was another highlight and is a tune as addictive as it is likely to encourage mimacry while ignoring a loved ones pleas for help lifting a fallen bookcase off their body as you air drum into space.
The thing about Bloc Party what with their appearence on the OC soundtrack is that sometimes you think of them as being kind of mellow or pretty indie but seeing them live reminds you they just fucking rock. They should call them Rock Party and in France they would call them Party Rock and they would be hunted with only their cunning to protect them.
In conclusion buy the album and if you see them live there's a good chance your dreams will be more colourful as result.

This 5-mile trek will take most walkers around 2 hours to complete.
Easy. This is a fairly flat route across open land on good quality vehicle tracks. There should be no access problems even in winter.
About the Causeymire Wind Farm Walk
The wide open expanses of land around Thurso are just begging to be walked, and the well-maintained trail around Causeymire Wind Farm is perfect for a gentle stroll that can be easily accessed no matter the weather.
Although you may well think a wind farm is an unusual place to take a walk, you might be surprised to see some really quite beautiful views across Dale Moss and out towards Morven as you make your way around the route. It's also the perfect opportunity to take a good long look at the future of British energy production, with the 21 turbines in the wind farm rising an impressive 60 metres into the sky.
The site is easy to locate as the turbines can be seen for a good distance away on the A9, and access is simple as the start of the walk sits directly off the main A9 road. There is a gated area at the start of the walk with parking spaces either side of the main access gate, and a map of the route has been helpfully installed here by the wind farm operators.
You can't really get lost on this route, and as it's circular you have the option of following it in either direction. The construction of the paths is robust gravel which will prevent most cases of muddy boots while the surrounding landscape is mainly flat and even grassland.
The lovely River Thurso runs a short distance away to the west although you should stick to the designated pathways for this walk, and heading back to the A9 offers plenty of other walking opportunities in the area.

How to Edit Someone Else's Writing
Editing is what turns tortured text into polished prose. It's editing that undangles our participles, shortens interminable sentences, levels out bumpy writing, and keeps us from confusing principal with principle. Editing someone else's writing is often easier than editing your own because you can be more objective than when you personally fussed over every word.
If colleagues ask you to edit their work, don't take on the task unless you're willing to be honest with your comments. You won't be helping by being mealy-mouthed about the material rather than forthright about changes you recommend.
It's a good idea not to do any editing your first time through the material. Read it start to finish to get a general sense of it. If you find nits to pick during this first reading, try to refrain from commenting. Then read it again, this time paying close attention to whatever aspect of the piece the writer wants you to focus on. It could be the overall flow, instances of ambiguity, grammatical goofs, punctuation and spelling, misuse of terminology, or almost anything else.
In other words, focus on what the writer wants from you; editing for overuse of semicolons when the writer wants feedback about the readability wastes both your time. Still, if the writer is requesting grammatical-level editing and you find the writing incomprehensible, it would be unkind not to let the writer know.
I recently heard the suggestion to review material on a smartphone because the tiny window of text is what many readers will see as they read. It's also a good idea to print out the material before editing it so that you can get the big picture and see the flow from paragraph to paragraph and page to page. If possible, include comments to explain your edits so the writer understands your intent.
And be positive. This means more than using cheery words to propose changes. It means also noting things you find good about the writing. For one of my books, I had an editor who provided extensive edits (sort of like this). Every edit was valid, but chapter after chapter of focusing on what needs changing was demoralizing. I'd have greatly appreciated an occasional "great idea!" or "well said"!
I wrote this article knowing that my TechWell editor will take her editing pen (or online equivalent) to it and what you read will be much better than what I submitted. Thanks, Beth!

Ekiti 2014: Obanikoro's presence in Akure should be probed – Oyegun urges FG
There are plans to rig Saturday's governorship election in Ekiti State, the All Progressives Congress (APC) alleged yesterday. APC Chairman John Odigie-Oyegun petitioned President Goodluck Jonathan, saying the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) wants to win at all cost. Odigie-Oyegun said the President should ask the Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro why he was at the Akure Airport on Tuesday when two planes with undisclosed cargo landed. He also fingered the Minister of Police Affairs, Jelili Adesiyan, as leading the PDP "war" troops in Ekiti State in alleged breach of their oath of office. Oyegun raised the alarm in a letter to the President which he read openly at the inauguration of the new 48-man National Executive Committee of the APC in Sheraton Hotel in Abuja. The chairman said: "My first message today is to President Goodluck Jonathan regarding a series of occurrences that point to the fact that the PDP is bent on rigging the elections and writing the results of the Saturday elections in Ekiti even before the polls open. "If this dangerous trend is not arrested, the consequences will be dire for democracy and our country. "The All Progressives Congress, APC will not accept the outcome of the election in Ekiti unless the authorities provide convincing explanations to the series of questionable developments in recent times. "Less than 72 hours to the governorship election in Ekiti, there are ominous signs that the PDP-led government is bent on influencing the outcome of the election come Saturday June 21. These series of developments and events are undeniable pointers to a desperate plot to rig the elections at all cost." He gave the details of some developments in the state which have pointed to a rigging plot by the PDP. Odigie-Oyegun said: "In the last few days, many developments have occurred that have exposed the covert and criminal effort to subvert the rights of the citizens of Ekiti and the country's electoral law. "Barely two Sundays ago, our supporters during a peaceful procession in Ekiti were tear-gassed and in fact one was killed. The elected governor of the state, Dr. Fayemi, was also tear- gassed and barely escaped being shot. "Yet, instead of quickly prosecuting the police officers involved in this crisis, the police authorities simply went ahead in the most bizarre turn of events and charged a Commissioner and 11 others from Ekiti State with acts of terrorism a few days to the election. Meanwhile, the policeman that shot the APC member walks the street free. "Again, only last week, a truck was intercepted with over 200 boxes of electoral materials by the security agents. INEC quickly claimed it was wasted materials, whereas the story of the driver contradicted that of INEC. To date, Nigerians are yet to be provided with full information about the culprits behind these suspicious materials." The APC National Chairman, who relocated to Ekiti State yesterday, insisted that the roles of Obanikoro and Adesiyan pointed to official collusion. He added: "On Tuesday, June 17, 2014, two loaded aircraft landed at the Akure Airport with undisclosed content. The presence of the Minister of State, Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro who was on ground to ensure the safe delivery of the cargoes suggests official collusion and knowledge. "The contents were immediately loaded into a bullion van under the watchful eyes of the Minister of State, Defence, Obanikoro. "Again on Wednesday, June 18, a pro-Fayose and PDP gang was busted in a resort owned by Fayose's campaign manager thumb printing ballot papers ahead of the Saturday elections. The 22 young men who were arrested were also caught preparing INEC Form EC8. "Mr. President, there is clear intent and deliberate ploy to subvert the elections. The APC at this point has little or no faith in the often-touted promises and commitment of this administration to a free and fear election in Ekiti. "Having earlier declared the Ekiti election as "WAR", the PDP is now living true to that promise with the Ministers of State, Defence and Police Affairs leading the troops. "Pray, what business does the Minister of State, Defence, Obanikoro have supervising the offloading of mysterious cargo in Akure while the Northeast is still being ravaged by Boko Haram and over 200 girls remain missing and unaccounted for?" Odigie-Oyegun asked the President to be aware of the danger of rigging election in the past republics. He said: "We warn Mr. President, that election rigging in a particular part of the country in the past has always had serious consequences for the government in power and the country as a whole. "As it happened in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Republics. The APC will not fold its arms and watch the electoral process being brazenly subverted. "Our party will not accept any result from Ekiti that does not flow from a transparent election. We are not asking for any favours. We only demand a free and fair election. "For our friends in the international community, there is no better time to speak up against these tendencies and ominous signs. "They need no further pointers to know that some people are desperate. The greatest danger is that we do not know how many other places the thumb printing of ballot papers are taking place in and around Ekiti. "The APC commends our security agencies for their alertness in this instance and urge them to be always professional and thorough." Earlier in his address, Odigie-Oyegun pledged to make APC the fastest growing party not only in Nigeria but in the world. He added: "First, I want to give you reassurance on behalf of the new NEC that we are going to work, toil night and day to fulfill the promise of APC as the most acceptable party in Nigeria. We are going to make it the fastest growing party in Nigeria and in the world. "I have always been associated with being first. I was the first Executive Governor of Edo State, I have now also become the first National Chairman of APC and we are going to be the first party to throw out a government in Nigeria. It is not going to be business-as-usual "For the other party, achieving power is their ultimate objective, but for APC the welfare and the happiness of the people is our ultimate objective. It is for this reason we are seeking power. "You have a party that is thinking, aggressive and that is going to make up for the people of this country who have been shortchanged. Let the people know that we mean business. I want to plead with you that people must know us today by our action; we must be different. "In February 2015, by God's grace, we will take over the Federal Government of Nigeria. It is not going to be business- as-usual. "We are going to aggressively attack corruption by government. We are going to empower. This is the message we are taking to the people: We are going to aggressively attack corruption. It is at the bottom of all the ills in the nation. It is the reason our children don't have jobs; it is the reason our factories are folding up; it is the reason basically that this country has not been able to make progress because the people have become so consumed by the need to grow from millionaire to billionaire, and the need to grow from billionaire to multi-billionaire. They are not even talking of Naira they now count in dollars. That's money of the people of this country. This money can be used to change and better the cause of their lives. "The government that APC will empower, that the people of this country will vote in will meaningfully address the issue of power. Without power there is no economy. We are wasting time. The office of the National Bureau of Statistics, the Ministry of Finance announced wounded figures. "We have even been upgraded to the largest economy in Africa. They stopped at Africa they didn't say the rest of the world. But how does that translate into bringing hope to the lives of the people." Odigie-Oyegun promised an open door policy in running the affairs of the party, saying repeatedly. "I am going to be a 24- hour National Chairman. If there is any internal problem, my ears are for you 24 hours." He urged APC members to explore internal party mechanism to resolve issues instead of rushing to the press and the court He said: "We must let people start believing us; we will do our best to address issues within the party. So, instead of rushing to the press or the court on any issue, allow the party to sort things out. "The National Convention was a very big plus; let us not allow things to degenerate. We are redeemers; we are people who Nigerians can depend on to save and salvage the situation."

*PR samples*
One of my fondest memories of Japan during my teen years were the department stores in Tokyo in the Ginza district. I usually ended up at the many cosmetic counters gazing at the skin care and the many little colored palettes.
I could never leave empty handed, and with my purchase I would receive gifts with purchase products. Very often these products would be cotton pads and some skin care product like a makeup remover.
I took these items for granted because they were just simple products to remove makeup. However, as soon as I got back home to the US, I realized I wished I had an entire supply of each. Why? Japan had a way of making the best lint-free makeup cotton pads and the most non-irritating makeup removers. These were a given in any cosmetic line in Japan because in a sense the Japanese are obsessed with perfection. Why remove makeup with irritating products like a lint-ball of cotton and drying makeup remover when both can be made not to irritate? (That is how the Japanese think. Really, it is kind of anal-retentive. I should know! 😄 )
Koh Gen Do Organic Cotton Squares
Now take this, I will call it "philosophy", one step further and make the cotton pads not only lint-free but made from pesticide-free cotton and the makeup remover made from only plant-based ingredients. This is where Koh Gen Do steps in.
The Cotton
The Koh Gen Doh Pure Cotton Pads retail for $12 and come in a box of 60. The way these are made allow for the liquid to soak into the cotton fibers while being sandwiched between two smooth surfaces. When you wipe your face, the liquid will apply onto the skin only and the smooth surface of the cotton pad protects it from any lint.
The Layers of Cotton
The cotton harvested for these cotton squares are organic and unbleached. It will have a slight yellow or brown tinge which is the usual color. If you are of my generation, you may remember when Levi's brought out their organic cotton jeans back in the 80's. This is similar.
The Cleansing Water
Koh Gen Do Cleansing Water is like a gift from the makeup goddess. Okay, I may be slightly exaggerating (or not)! This makeup remover comes in two sizes:
- 10.15 oz/300ml for $39
- 16.23 oz/480ml for $52.
Out of all the makeup removers I have tried, this one is the most non-irritating one and the one which actually makes the skin feel clean.
The Cleansing Water is formulated with Izumo spa water (onsen mizu ♨). This is also oil-free, alcohol-free, mineral oil and petrolatum free. Plant derived and totally cruelty-free and vegan-friendly.
You know how some makeup or eye removers leave that feel of product on the skin like a thin film? OR your skin just feels so dry and tight due to having to go over the same area several times to remove the makeup? This won't happen with Koh Gen Do.
This Cleansing Water Makeup Remover removes makeup and gives that boost of moisture at the same time. It is very gentle for wise owl skin. This is why Olivia Sr. loves this product. Fast removal of makeup without any abuse of the skin!
Makeup Removed
Notice, the cotton pad is intact and look at the eye makeup it removed!
What can be used to remove can also be used to seal makeup. Because this makeup/eye makeup remover is silicone-free, you can also use it as an eyeliner sealant or makeup mixing medium.
If you are looking for gentle, effective, plant-based, cruelty-free skin care products, then Koh Gen Do is one which deserves your attention.
Wise Owl Approved
*These were PR samples. The efficacy of these products were due to the formulation. Olivia Sr. chose to put her stamp of approval.*

Benchmark just got higher
3 comments:
Its very nice of you to individually take care of the students of the same class with different learning curves. I wish I had a teacher like you. I would have definitely been a lot better than otherwise.ReplyDelete
It must be a very tough class and that is probably the reason why class are divided into sections. I have had a fairly steep learning curve and I know that it feels suffocating to a student who has to waste 80% of class time waiting for others to catch up. It is also aggravated by teachers hovering around stopping from doing something else(I brought sci- magazines to class).
Believe me or not, the smarter ones sometimes can be in middle sections too. I, for one, was below top 10 students in written exams (but topper in boards), suggesting that it is very very difficult to segregate on the basis of learning curves. If you can, please donot segregate those kids based solely on exam scores. Look into their eyes, type of questions they ask, how they think.

June 18, 2015 - kicker/punter Jonn Young commits
"Rated as the number 30 placekicker in the nation by the prestigious Kohl Kicking Camp, Jonn Young jumped on an offer from West Virginia, becoming the 12th commitment in the class of 2016. A rising senior at Davie High School, Young earned 4.5 out of five stars as both a kicker and a punter from Kohl." - Scout
April 25, 2015 - spring game
"Kicker Josh Lambert went 1-for-3 on field goal attempts, missing from 46 yards and 44 yards, respectively. Lambert converted on the final kick, which was for 45 yards." - West Virginia Illustrated
December 29, 2014 - kicker Josh Lambert sets records during Liberty Bowl
"kicker Josh Lambert etched his name in NCAA record books twice in a 45-37 loss Monday night to Texas A&M in the Liberty Bowl. Lambert, a redshirt sophomore, made all three field-goal tries to tie a Division I record for most multiple-field goal games (10) and most field-goal attempts (39) in a season. His 30 made field goals was one short of the NCAA record Georgia's Billy Bennett set in 2003. Lambert accounted for 134 points this season, 48 more than in 2013, and his 10.3 points-per-game average ranked eighth in Division I-A." - Post-Gazette
October 18, 2014 - kicker Josh Lambert
"Those in attendance at Milan Puskar Stadium may have noticed WVU kicker Josh Lambert leaving the sidelines several times during the game to use the public restroom behind the south end zone. He left twice in the first half and once in the second. Lambert was not nauseous or experiencing bladder problems. He has type 2 diabetes and was administering insulin to himself to control the glucose level in his blood. 'I was able to bring it down,' Lambert said. Despite his disease and some leg cramping, Lambert tied a school record with his 54-yard field goal in the second quarter. The kick gave him five field goals of 50 yards or longer, tying Paul Woodside (1981-84). Lambert's 16 field goals so far this season are tied for seventh-most in a single season in school history. He is 4-of-4 on field goals of 50 yards or more, including a career-best 55-yarder to beat Texas Tech last week." - Exponent Telegram
October 11, 2014 - Josh Lambert kicks 55 yard game winner over Texas Tech
"I think you either have it or you don't,' WVU redshirt sophomore kicker Josh Lambert said following West Virginia's 37-34 win at Texas Tech on Saturday. 'You have to be able to push mistakes out really fast. You can't let it bother you'.... Lambert gave the Mountaineers the win on Saturday in a football game that featured just about everything you could ask for. His 55-yard game-winner tied a WVU in-game record set by former Mountaineer kicker Paul Woodside in 1984. A 47-yard miss preceded that kick, just inches past the right upright. But in typical Josh Lambert form, it was on to the next one. '"I missed one before that, so I just had to concentrate on doing my job and hitting a good ball. As soon as I hit it, I knew it was a good ball. Whether I had the distance or not, I wasn't sure. It was a pretty long field goal. But after I watched it for a couple of seconds, I knew it was going to go in. It felt good,' Lambert noted. Prior to knocking down 3-of-4 field goals against Texas Tech on Saturday, Lambert has given the Mountaineers a solid kicking game, going 11-of-15 through the first five games." - West Virginia Illustrated
September 13, 2014 - Josh Lambert kicks game winner over Maryland
Josh Lambert's 47-yard field goal as time expired gave West Virginia a 40-37 win over Maryland at Byrd Stadium. WVU let a 28-6 second quarter lead get away before Lambert broke the tie.... And then the game was tied when Likely returned Nick O'Toole's punt 69 yards for a touchdown. It was time to start all over again, 37-37, with 9:43 remaining. Lambert tried to give WVU a three-point lead, but Maryland blocked his 43-yard field goal attempt and took over on its 27. The Mountaineers stuff a run on third-and-1, forcing a punt. Nathan Renfro boomed one to the WVU 5." - Tribune-Review
August 16, 2014 - final summer scrimmage
"Then there were those special teams. The only one really on display was the field goal unit at the end of those two stalled offensive drives. But sophomore kicker Josh Lambert missed both. One was a 50-yarder with plenty of length, but wide right. The other was a shanked chip shot. 'He's got to be more consistent,' said special teams coach Joe DeForest. 'It's disappointing and I let him know that'." - WV Gazette
August 6, 2014 - kicker Josh Lambert
"Special teams coordinator JoeDeForest said WVU has to be careful Lambert doesn't get too big or too tight and risk pulling or straining anything. He was assigned yoga during the summer to work on core strength and flexibility. When the kickers are inactive during practice, Lambert is with the strength and conditioning coaches working on stretches and staying loose. DeForest said he has to do some things differently, too. 'Josh has a habit of really overworking,' DeForest said. 'You love for guys to do that, but not at that position. He warms up too much and it's hard to control him. Just stop. Get loose by stretching, running, riding a bike. Don't get loose banging a ball and hurt yourself. We have a much better warmup routine now than last year, and that was me getting to know him and him getting to know his body.' DeForest said Lambert is free to try 60-yard field goals in practice and that he makes them consistently. 'I don't want to say with ease,' DeForest said, 'but they're clearing by four or five yards'." - Charleston Daily Mail
August 3, 2014 - summer specialists
"So this August, the emphasis is on preserving Lambert's leg. 'What we've tried to do this camp and throughout the fall, we're going to pare down his reps,' special teams coordinator Joe DeForest said. 'He loves to kick. He loves to warm up. Well, that tears his body down.' DeForest said that within the first couple of days of preseason camp, Lambert hit one field goal close to 60 yards. 'His leg strength is the best it's ever been,' DeForest said. 'I think that comes with strength and conditioning and it comes with not kicking as much.' Lambert and O'Toole aren't the only returnees to the kicking game. Snapper John DePalma is now in his third season and has been so perfect in his snaps that he's seldom noticed. The holder, Mike Molinari, doesn't botch handling snaps, either, and can also serve as the backup punter and kicker. 'As a group, I think it's the best I've ever had,' said DeForest, who coordinated the special teams at Oklahoma State before coming to WVU. 'The snapper, the holder, the punter and the kicker, as a group, is as solid a group as anybody in the country.' If there is a weak spot it would be kickoffs. 'I'd like to have the ball kicked into the end zone a little bit more than we do,' DeForest said. 'That's probably our weakest link.' All three of the kickers can handle kickoff duties. Molinari did it most of last season and O'Toole tried it a few times. Lambert didn't kick off in an effort to save his leg. Freshman walk-on Billy Kinney from University High is also in camp and any of the four could win the kickoff job. 'It's an open competition,' DeForest said." - Charleston Gazette
July 26, 2014 - punter Nick O'Toole works on mental strength
"O'Toole wants to perfect his craft, and he can point to individual kicks and entire games when he wasn't at his best. 'Mentally, I don't think I was at full strength. Coming in from California, it's great weather. There's no wind and no weather conditions I have to worry about. Then coming to West Virginia, it's cold, it's rainy and going to Kansas it's windy and Texas is windy. Everywhere is windy, and it's awful for a punter,' O'Toole said with a laugh. He's been working on remaining in the moment, regardless of the circumstances he faces. 'It's more of getting in the good habits and breaking the bad habits you have and knowing this is a good kick, how did that look and how do I build off that?' O'Toole said." - The DPost
June 30, 2014 - kicker Josh Lambert healthy
"Lambert was battling two torn muscles in his groin and in his foot. But he's healthy now. 'I've had a really, really solid offseason (of workouts),' he said. 'I've been working hard, lifting weights. When we're not too sore to kick some, we do.' Lambert has added 15 pounds to his body since last season, and he believes that will help, too. 'But I think the biggest thing is that I stay healthy,' he said." - Times West Virginian
April 24, 2014 - kicker Josh Lambert
"In the annual Gold-Blue Spring Game, West Virginia redshirt sophomore kicker Josh Lambert made his presence known. Capped off by a 53-yard field goal, Lambert continued his consistent play after a strong spring. The Garland, Texas, native, said his range can go even further than what everyone saw April 12. 'I've gotten a lot stronger, and I've been doing a lot of yoga in the offseason, which has helped a lot,' Lambert said. 'It's made me more flexible. During pregame today, I hit a 60-yarder. On from that point it's hit or miss, but given the right conditions, I can hit 60.' Besides doing yoga, which was recommended by Mike Joseph, the director of strength and conditioning, Lambert said not much has changed since the 2013-14 season until now. 'Nothing has changed. Everyone is still the same. My job is still the same. I don't get nervous anymore, so that's different,' Lambert said." - TheDAOnline
April 2, 2014 - punter Nick O'Toole spring practice
Through nine practices O'Toole has tried to perfect his craft by working on more situational kicking. Everyday he kicks directionally or works on his pooch kicking. O'Toole wants to prepare for some of those clutch punts DeForest referenced, that he may have to convert. 'We've been up at the indoor lately because of the cold and it has helped a bit because I've been able to work more on directional kicking,' said O'Toole. 'We play a game in there where I choose a quadrant of the field to punt the ball into. So I've been focused a lot on the little things especially the directional part of the game.'... O'Toole continues to work on the basic drop from his hands to the blast of the punt. Special Teams Coordinator Joe DeForest also has O'Toole practicing kickoffs to become a viable candidate to compete with Mike Molinari for the kickoff specialist job." - Rivals
February 23, 2014 - Michael Molinari competing for several roles
"Head football coach Dana Holgorsen and his staff played host to media members who cover the Mountaineer program. One of those receiving praise was Parkersburg South graduate Michael Molinari. 'He (Molinari) is a workout warrior,' Holgorsen said. 'He's already our holder for PATs and field goals and he added the kickoff duties last season. But, now he has his sights on doing everything - placekicking, punting and kicking off.' Molinari, who came to Morgantown as an invited walk-on in 2010, spent his first season with the team as a redshirt, but quickly began to climb the depth chart at several positions.... His work ethic is well documented, but his leadership qualities have grown along with his responsibilities with the Mountaineers. Which, apparently, could grow even more despite the return of placekicker Josh Lambert and punter Nick O'Toole." - Parkersburg News and Sentinel
January 9, 2014 - kicker Billy Kinney commits as preferred walk-on
"The opportunity to work with WVU special-teams coordinator Joe DeForest ultimately convinced University High's Billy Kinney to verbally commit to the Mountaineers as a preferred walk-on. 'He's put a lot of guys into the NFL,' Kinney said. 'That's one of my goals, to make it there. I think I would enjoy my time with him and he would be able to help me get better. I'm really looking forward to that.' The senior punter/kicker averaged 42 yards per punt this season, while playing limited time due to a partially torn deltoid ligament in his ankle. Kinney, who will enroll in summer classes but is undecided on his major, said his ankle should be fully healed by the time he begins at WVU next season." - The DPost

Have quite a few exciting things coming up in the next few days/weeks/months - although none of them bring in any cash, of which I have none of.
But it's okay, things somehow get sorted out in the end.
Went out for Yi Han's birthday and Shila puts it perfectly - all you need is love, grass and good friends. Don't know what I'd do without those guys - especially at times like these when everything's out of sorts and there isn't anything stable in my life.
We got him a Jamie Oliver cookbook (he's good in the kitchen) and went for dinner at this place we've been meaning to go to at Tanglin Mall called Oomphatico - walked right past where Di works.
Went for drinks at Harry's where we had 25% discounts coz Shaun and Elin work at Esplanade.Then we headed to the rooftop where we made nuisances out of our soon-aging selves.
Went to pick Daddy up from Sentosa the other day and enjoyed the best sunset ever. Seriously, that place is really pretty. Tonight I offered my freelance proofreading services to him and oh, how much I miss it! It's so therapeutic to make wrong things right or right things better, even if it's as simple as cutting down a sentence or adding a coma.
I'd originally said that he had to pay me (but of course I didn't mean it) but my dad looking at my editing and telling me that I was good was payment enough for me.
Hehe, sometimes I'm such a child.

Heart Problems Discovered in 9/11 Responders
They were among the first to arrive on the scene of the World Trade Center attacks on 9/11, and many of them continued to work selflessly for months on the site, exposing themselves to airborne debris and other dangers. Now experts from Mount Sinai School of Medicine have reported that these first responders on 9/11 have heart problems, specifically impaired diastolic function of both the left and right ventricle.
Results of the new study come on the heels of a tentative settlement that would award as much as $657 million to the Ground Zero rescue and cleanup workers who were sickened by their exposure to the toxic debris at the site. In 2007, the first clinical study that connected exposure to the World Trade Center dust and serious disease released its findings.
In that study, published in Chest, it showed that the number of 9/11 responders who had a rare type of lung condition called sarcoidosis rose dramatically in the year after the attack. Other studies have shown that a high percentage of the rescue workers developed persistent coughs and other respiratory conditions, as well as psychological problems, including post-traumatic stress disorder.
Now, in a study entitled "First Documentation of Cardiac Dysfunction Following Exposure to the World Trade Center Disaster," researchers provide evidence that the 9/11 responders have a condition in which their hearts are not able to relax normally, which increases their risk for heart failure and shortness of breath.
The study, conducted by Lori Croft, MD, assistant professor of medicine, evaluated 1,236 workers who had been part of the 9/11 rescue efforts. It found that more than 50 percent of them had impaired relaxation of the left ventricle. Among their same-age peers in the general population, this condition appears in only 7 percent of people. More than 60 percent of the participants had abnormal diastolic function in the right ventricle, which pumps blood to the lungs.
Although these study results do not definitively link exposure to debris by 9/11 responders and their heart problems, Dr. Croft and her team note that previous research indicates that inhaled debris may be associated with lung and heart disease. Additional studies are needed before the heart problems experienced by these and potentially other 9/11 responders can be connected with the disaster, but Croft points out that "these data are an exciting first step."

Dear Google: Why me?
It is hard not to feel a little paranoid that Google have not, quite simply, got it in for me.
The saga begins in January. After testing and experimenting over a number of years with different email clients and configurations I finally felt I had arrived at a moment of almost transcendental synchronosity. I had my Thunderbird email client rigged up to receive all my email accounts as IMAP, and my work email was synchronised with my Google calendar via a nifty wee sync program called 'Google Sync' produced by Google for the purpose. All my calendars were therefore synchronised together into a perfect harmony. For a blissful few months of trouble-free 'being organised'
Then on 30th January Google announced it would be withdrawing Google Sync and the whole house of cards collapsed in on itself. I have managed to re-build some usability through Davmail - a little program which sits in-between your email client and Exchange - but I have spent many hours again trying (fruitlessly) to find alternative ways of reconciling my different calendars.
One way around the problem was to start using my Google calendar as a mechanism for organising my work time instead of dull old, isolated, Microsoft Exchange. After all, Google Mail calendars had a lovely option of posting events as 'Appointment Slots', which means other people can access and book slots - like for tutorials or meetings - on my Google calendar without actually having access to my personal data.
Marvellous. If the cancellation of Google Sync meant that I could not synchronise my Exchange Calendar, then this meant that I could pretty much simply ignore my Exchange Calendar altogether!
And then, again at the end of January, Google withdrew the Appointment Slots option.
Bugger. Back to the proverbial drawing board.
Still, at this point I was finding it difficult to be too angry at Google. After all, I had just discovered a wonderful Google tool which made me feel a fool for not finding earlier. Google Reader was a fantastic way to subscribe to all my rss feeds (news websites, events updates, blogs, etc.) in one handy place. It was so easy to use and so flexible it was hard to imagine how I had managed without it all these years.
I happily signed up to all my various sources of information, and then used Google Reader's brilliant flexibility to feed those sources into my mobile phone, my blog, my VLE profile, etc..
Then in March of this year, Google announced it would be 'retiring' Google Reader.
Dammit all.
What have I done to upset them? Are they watching me, and merrily just cancelling anything I start to enjoy? I am now half expecting Google to next announce that all they are pressurising governments to make coffee an illegal substance, to have all P. G. Wodehouse novels banned and (of course) to cancel Christmas.
Just a heads up then folks. I have been using the Google search engine quite a lot lately...
...you have been warned.

Big Tobacco has taken the British government to court, arguing that the UK's "plain packaging" legislation unlawfully takes away its intellectual property.
Companies including Philip Morris International, British American Tobacco, Japan Tobacco International and Imperial Tobacco Group are challenging the legislation, which takes effect next May, because it will prohibit all forms of branding on tobacco packaging, including colours and logos.
The rule, known as "plain packaging", would also require graphic warnings illustrating the health problems smoking can cause. It aims to reduce smoking's death toll by making the packs less attractive.
Tobacco companies lost a similar case in Australia in 2012 when the High Court backed the federal government's plain-packaging legislation, saying the law involved regulating, not acquiring, brands and logos.
In the British case, which will be heard in a six-day hearing at London's Royal Courts of Justice, the companies are arguing that the law represents the seizure of their property without any compensation.
"Our trademarks have a capital value ... and that value has been effectively removed," said lawyer David Anderson, representing Japan Tobacco International in court on Thursday.
He argued that trademarks are an "instrument of commercial strategy".
In Australia, the only country to have so far implemented plain packaging, the companies say there has been an increase in black market tobacco and sales of lower-priced cigarettes.
While the companies failed in their challenge to Australian law, they say they are more confident about the UK challenge because they only have to prove that their intellectual property was illegally taken.
Aside from Australia and Britain, plain packaging has been approved in Ireland, Hungary and France, while more than a dozen other countries - including Belgium, Canada and Pakistan - have either proposed, or are talking about proposing, similar measures.

This is probably the most universally flattering nude gloss on the market. It's sheer but buildable to a point, has a fantastic applicator, and it's packaged so that it's purse friendly and has a clear center so you know how much you have left.
It's a little pink, a little peach, a little nude, and has just a touch of brown to round it out. It's simple but beautiful, and can either be worn alone or on top of lipstick. I pair it with L'Oreal's Fairest Nude, and the combo is everything from va-va-voom sexy to sophisticated, depending on how it's worn.
The only problem is that it's nearly impossible to find in stores. But at least it can be purchased online easily.

306 Scarlet Concerto. Beautiful color, a deep dark, transparent cherry red. That is why it gets two lippies, the color was reminiscent of Clinique's Black Honey. Horrible consistency, like a gummy, slimy gel that never settles on the lips. Bleeds and tastes like it smells, cheap perfume and cherry chapstick. I will not be trying anything else in this line, very poor quality. Threw it away.

IM OBSESSED !!!! I have rather small thin lips so not a lot of lip products suit me , this is the perfecttttttt nude gloss for me. !!! It's one of the very ew that flatter me and make my lips look bigger and healthier and prettier. I recently bought Marc Jacobs lip gloss in sugar sugar that everyone on YouTube raves about and I hate it. It makes my lips look flat and just nothing special at all, this L'Oréal one however is AMAZING. I bought two more of it , one for my hand bag and one for my makeup desk and one for backup just incase. It's amazing. Best nude lipgloss I have ever found

I am 52 years old. I have been searching for the perfect nude since I was 14-- so I could smile with confidence. I finally found the perfect nude for my neutral undertones (spring seasonal palette). The color matches my gums when I smile. The brush/applicator is delicious. Thank you God.

Ok don't judge but yes I bought it because I saw the article that said Kim K used it for her wedding. I have been searching for that perfect nude lip that doesn't make me look washed out, not too pink, not too brown, not too this,not too that. I love the color and have received many compliments whenever I wear it. I would not really consider it a lipstick as it says in the name.I feel it's more like a gloss. It's shiny and a wee bit sticky for my liking and very little staying power for me. (Full disclosure though- I'm too lazy to use a primer or set it with a finishing product) The color was on point though. Would repurchase unless I find that elusive perfect nude lipstick that checks off every box.

A little late on this 1 but it was the lip color Kim K wore at her wedding...it's a wonderful pinky brown MLBB nude. It has a slip to it, with all of the mattes out there this is much shinier almost like Jeffree Star liquid lipsticks. I got mine off drugstore dot com coz Ulta dot com was sold out, I went to 1 grocery store nada so I didn't want go chase all over gown to get this. I ordered not yesterday but the afternoon before w free shipping. I am so happy w this. I think it's similar to Fairest Nude (Loreal lipstick), there are a few MAC lipliners that suits it prob best is strip down. All in all I don't like some of the Loreal products I've tried, but this fruity smelling liquid lipstick is awesome! Great on "mature (35+) skin" but suitable for ev1! Winning!!

Love this lip gloss, Its a creamy, luxe texture. Its a nice caramel yet light nude color.
Its smells like a Peach Jelly Belly and goes on smoothly, evenly and richly. The color is true and stays on a few hours. I have an Olive complexion and I do a smokey- eye like half of my fellow cosmetic chicks (lol) I suggest you purchase this gloss- you cant go wrong and its usually sold out at WalMart and Target but I purchase mine at Rite Aid so start there.

To me it's a lip gloss. It goes on with a wand like lip gloss even though pkg looks like a lipstick. That being said color is very pretty, sheer, shiny but not sparkly. No smell that I recall. It's everything I like in a gloss. Enough color that it makes your lips look good but on the natural side. I'm going to look at other shades now!

A little inspiration on a Wednesday
Word Wabbit has been going through an existential crisis. When you find yourself asking the big "Why?" every day, the search for answers becomes a bit pressing. When my "to do" list reached 100 items, I suddenly wondered why do any of it. The list will continue to grow, and I can't tell that I'm getting anywhere. So I went searching for inspiration and this is what I found.

I am officially 30 weeks pregnant. Which, on the one hand sounds completely insane, how did it come so fast?! And on the other hand, I am ready for a wee break of carrying this little monkey around 24/7. On that note, I've decided one of my BIGGEST pregnancy pet-peeves has to be when people utter the words "just wait". As in, you think you're tired now? Just wait. You think you're not sleeping at all now? Just wait. You think you worry about him now? Just wait. It takes every fibre of my being not to punch them in the throat…too aggressive? Number one, I am beyond aware that this little guy isn't just going to pop into this world and be the picture of perfection, sleeping whenever his Mommy is tired and needs a rest herself (or maybe he will, he is my child after all and I've already given him a bit of a God complex) number two…have you recently carried an extra 30 plus pounds that appeared overnight and squish all of your vital organs on a daily basis? No? You're a man and won't ever get the opportunity to do that? OK then, perhaps keep your comments to yourself. At least when my buddy is here I can happily hand him over to my husband and roll around on the ground or lay directly on my stomach for gloriously periods of time. When my little buddy is here I can roll over in bed, get out of a chair, exit a vehicle and get in and out of the shower without disgusting amounts of sweating, grunting and muscle pulling. Best of all, when my buddy is here, I will be sunggling 24/7, people. all day snuggle sessions. Just staring at him in wonder and thanking God for this amazing gift.
In saying all of that, I really have loved being pregnant. What an amazing journey this has been. However, as with any wonderful thing, there are always some not so wonderful things. Because this is my blog and I can be as honest as I'd like, I wanted to share, in my final hot-ass weeks of pregnancy (note to self, the summer is a hard time to take on the mighty third trimester) a few honest things, things that people don't want to tell you. I know I've already done a post similar and it was super well received. So here we go.
1. Pregnant women are way more susceptible to heat. We're literally a human oven. So the summer humidity…not great. I spend a lot of time sitting directly in front of a fan, in an ice cold shower or complaining, whilst laying on my couch like a beached whale. Mr. wedding girl spends a lot of his time choking water down my throat for fear of dehydration (yesterday I had not one but two giant water bottles directly beside me, expected to chug), buying me popsicles and moving the fan wherever I go. High five Mr. wedding girl
2. Pregnancy hormones are no joke. Sometimes I like to go into the bathroom and have a good cry...for what reason? Who knows...its a real mystery.
3. Your baby can literally kick your ass…feels super weird and scared the heck out of me.
4. As you get bigger you genuinely wonder how he only weighs 3 pounds, but feels like he weighs 50 and why he likes to snuggle your spine so aggressively, Mommy needs to be able to move bud.
5. How do pregnant women commute?! I feel like I am taking on Everest everyday...not exaggerating at all, if you've got commuting secrets, I need to know them.
6. Lack of breathing...oh to be able to take deep breaths again.
7. What fits anymore?! A sheet? My husbands jammies? Are any of these things work appropriate??
8. How can I be craving something so aggressively, but not know what that something is? Again...mysteries.
9. What does he look like? Is that his head or his bum that he is jabbing out of my side? Foot or hand? And other fun questions, that always seem to follow.
10. Pregnancy dreams...enough said.
Because I am such a positive Patti, I'd like to end things on a less negative, beached whale note. It hits me harder and harder everyday that in 10 weeks (ish) I am going to have a son. A son! ME! A real little buddy that is going to depend on me for just about everything. I can't wait to meet my little guy, my new best friend, my little cuddle buddy. Woo hoo! Happy 3rd Trimester to me! And to those ladies that have been pregnant or are pregnant, good for you! Seriously, I commend you! You don't get enough credit, go have a lukewarm bath, roll yourself out of the tub, put on a mumu, gather a weird assortment of food and have a nap, you deserve it.

Running a startup is not easy. In fact, it's likely that the first sentence here features heavily on many of the startup advice blogs you read. It's important that this fact is hammered home if you're going to take the risk of potentially managing a firm laden with success. The early days are always difficult, turbulent and beset with issues that you simply can't predict. However, does that mean that you should hope for smooth seas? We'd argue not, as they never make for skilful sailors. Having the most comfortable rise to the top will only bite you when a problem develops you aren't equipped to handle.
For that reason, instead of worrying about the challenges you can't control, you should always focus on upgrading your competency. This can help serve as a base from which you develop all of your methods to resolve an issue. It allows for creative thinking in the face of challenge, and potentially helps you make the perfect choice at the imperfect time. However, competency isn't ethereal. There are a select number of things which in a business perspective it will consist of, and we've listed those here under the following headings, as well as some advice to improve your standing within those fields.
Without further ado:
IT Competency
The world runs online these days, and you'd be mistaken for neglecting to see that as important. Not everyone can be a computer or technical wiz, and not everyone has the startup funds to give a salary to a tech wizard. Learning how to function from an IT perspective in business is much different to the same consideration at home. Here, you may be tackling with necessary software you are unaware of, or have to complete essential maintenance tasks.
You might be having trouble purchasing your own domain name, or simply working efficiently in a digital workspace. An IT consulting firm like Prosyn is worthy of commission here, as they have teams willing to help you become more adept at your IT system, and by that we mean your IT system. Finding out what tech solution works for you and your firm is the most important, and from there you can develop and become more widely educated on further issues you may need to resolve in the future.
Accounting Competency
Keeping the books well organized is not just a recommended requirement, often it's a legal requirement. If you're unable to pay your tax at the correct times and in the correct quantities or fudge the books regarding a customer complaint or account, you can be sure that your business will get in some form of trouble, and fast. Keeping a degree of mathematical skill can help you look over your books and understand them, but if you need help then outsourcing or hiring the time of a local accountant can help you tremendously. If you need further help in your humble days, then hiring an accounting student as an intern can help you cast a further and more educated eye on the responsibilities you have.
Refining your competency is something you'll attempt for the rest of your life, but with these tidbits of advice, it will become much easier.

The whole word is not the printed, but the spoken, in which alone truth stands free. Only words formed by the human voice have the delicacy and power which is necessary to stir the depths of emotion, the seat of the spirit, the full sensitiveness of the conscience.
--Romano Guardini, Meditation Before Mass
Here's to making words on a page come alive onstage.
I miss these actors who brought us into Terra Incognita and back again.
They are truly theatrical polytopians of a rare degree.
I have seen wonders in the Himalayas. Magic. Mystery.
I feel a sea change coming over me.
I don't know about all of you, but I do have a sudden craving. A burning desire. Intense, painful longing.
I have such a yearning for the future...it is boundless!

|SEPTEMBER 28 Jeremiah 19-20, Psalm 124
Thus saith the LORD, Go and get a potter's earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests;
And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee,
And say, Hear ye the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.
Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;
They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.
And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.
And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.
Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee,
And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury.
Thus will I do unto this place, saith the LORD, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet:
And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods.
Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD's house; and said to all the people,
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.
Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.
Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the LORD.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The LORD hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magormissabib.
For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.
Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all the labours thereof, and all the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied lies.
O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived; thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.
For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.
Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.
But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.
But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous, and seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I opened my cause.
Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.
Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.
Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.
And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;
Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.
Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

Fresh from breakfast, we headed to Husavik for our next check-in. Husavik's most popular attraction are its whale-watching tours. However, we opted out of it, a personal choice, since I sometimes get sea-sick, and it wasn't a huge priority during this trip.
Instead, we decided to keep it easy with just one item on our itinerary: Asbyrgi Canyon.I've heard lots about the canyon previously, with its many walking trails available. It's a beautiful forested area featuring a horseshoe bend.
I think I'm not alone when I say most of us have a to-do list on trips, and feel like a need to get everything checked off, to fill our days with endless activities from day till night to get the most out of the money we've paid. Sightsee, eat, sleep, repeat.
However, as I travel more frequently, I've realised the beauty of rest, and the importance of just enjoying any country for what it is. It's alright to take a break sometimes. Also, it's okay if plans change, because life isn't static, and things aren't always gonna work out the way you expect them to, sometimes for better, and other times for worse, but it's all about the experience.
We started out driving all the way inwards where there are easy trails and beautifully lined trees heading to the bottom of a small river inlet.
A more popular path for hikers is to walk along the path above the Canyon, so you can oversee the Canyon. It involves walking from the tourist information center along a little path through a golf course, and climbing ropes and ladders, literally, to get to the top!
The day's forecast was pretty cloudy as you can see, and the colors were a little dull, but it was a pretty nice hike to the viewing point and as it's not on most tourists' itinerary, you have the place pretty much to yourself so you can take silly photos 🙂
As we headed back, we were stopped on the road by none other than… sheep! The farmers were herding the sheep back to the farms in preparation for winter. In Iceland, sheep and horses are mostly allowed to roam freely during certain seasons. However, as winters are harsh in Iceland and the food sources for these animals deplete then (due to the cold), they are heralded back to the farms where hay and grass are provided throughout the winter. Come spring/summer, these domesticated farm animals are then released again back into the "wild". It was pretty cool witnessing such a massive migration! There were some funny moments when a few rebellious sheep tried to make a break for it. Too bad the farmers were too quick for them! I can only imagine what were going through these animals' minds… "Foiled again by them pesky farmers!"
