Post subject: Robin Hobb!
I remember in the old forum we had a thread that touched on some of Robin Hobb's books. I read the Assassin's Apprentice trilogy back in middle school and really liked it, but I hadn't read anything else. If I remember correctly, Tin really liked the Liveship trilogy set in the same world, and on the strength of his recommendation, I bought the first book. But I never got around to reading it until this month.
OMG, the Liveship trilogy is SO GOOD. It's like she took everything awesome about the first trilogy and threw away all the boring, depressing stuff. I'm in the middle of the second book, Mad Ship, and I'm just devouring it. Pirates, talking ships, dragons, love triangles... I'm not usually a big fantasy buff, but Robin Hobb is just an amazing writer.
So, any other fans out there? I don't want to hear any spoilers! But maybe someone knows if the Fool's trilogy is good, too?

Fools is excellent, and a real must-read to tie up some of the plot threads left over from assassins
and Liveships, too
The newer Soldier Son trilogy isn't quite up to the same standard, but it worth reading.
Robin Hobb's a personal favourite author. I'm just slightly narked I left my entire Hobb collection apart from Soldier Son with my sister. I wanna read them again >.<

Yes yes yes. Start with

and go from there.
My other favorite fantasy author is Jacqueline Carey, and I highly recommend
Kushiel's Dart
if you're looking for something to read. It's one of my favorite books.

Oo, glad you finally got to that, Vi. The Liveship Traders trilogy is absolutely fantastic work. I remain impressed. The fool's trilogy is good, I liked it a lot. It wasn't as hugely transcendently good as the Liveship Traders, but then it's kind of hard to top a masterpiece like Liveship Traders.
And I'm with Space -- the Soldier Son trilogy (her latest) just isn't up to the same standard. Far too much "Woe is me, I'm fat" in the second one especially. It got a little more interesting at the end of the third one. But I was annoyed that it took the protagonist essentially three whole books to extract his head from his posterior.
Speaking of which, I think I'll go re-read the Liveship Traders trilogy. ^_^

I've read all of the Assassin trilogy (a friend kindly lent them to me), but I still have to read the third part of the Fool trilogy. D:
I'm two thirds through Soldier's Son, which is alright, but I feel like there's a lot more that could be done with the world setting and the politics which she did go into in earlier cycles, but appears to get neglected in this one. And the whole "WAAH Magic has made me fat thing" completely bamboozled me as well. I'll try and track down Liveship when I get home however.
I know she's written more books under a different psuedonym - have any forumites read them, and if so, are they any good?
Slightly off-topic, but shall I open up a new thread for book discussion in general?

The other pseudonym of hers is Megan Lindholm. I read the first book she published -- "Harpy's Flight" -- and it was lousy. Gypsy-girl-with-magical-talents-must-avenge-her-family's-slaughter, ho hum. The plot and characterizations were completely stock, and not very well executed. That was printed in the early '80s. It gives me faith in all the other lousy first time writers out there to know that someone can write something so completely mediocre at first go and still go on to produce something so drop-dead amazing as the Liveship Traders books.
I swapped emails with her once a few years ago, and had the temerity to tell her that the Assassin trilogy was obviously a dress rehearsal for the Liveship Traders trilogy, since the latter was so very much better. That's when she pointed out that she'd been writing for a decade or more before she started the Assassin books. I hadn't known that before, and so after I read Harpy's Flight I was thoroughly embarrassed. Oy! What an uppity little so-and-so I was. Anyway, the correspondence didn't proceed any further than that, beyond a note she sent me telling me to get a better office chair. I had mentioned my discomfort typing, and apparently she suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome and is a vigorous advocate of healthier typing posture.

5 Things I Learned in Albany
I've been planning a trip to Albany since what would be the start of the NHL season and I wasn't letting Sandy get in the way. After waiting in a long line for one of the few open gas stations, I filled up my tank and used that precious fuel to drive up to Albany and watch the Albany Devils take on the Connecticut Whale at the Times Union Center. This was my first trip to Albany, here's what I learned.
1. Being in a cold house with no heat all week did not prepare me for the colder weather of Albany.
With the majority of New Jersey powerless and cold without heat, I thought I had gotten used to toughing out the cold in layers of sweatshirts and Albany would be no problem. Yea well, it was cold! But that's part of the hockey season, so I embraced it and suited up.
I have to say, putting all my hockey game gear was a lot more fun that I thought it would be. After not having a reason to put a jersey on since June, it felt pretty awesome to go back to layering up with my Devils hoodie topped off with a Henrique jersey.
2. It's really fun to throw things onto the ice!
The Albany Devils play Chuck-A-Puck during intermission where fans can literally chuck numbered foam pucks onto the ice. The goal is to have one of your pucks land closest to the target on center ice. Of course none of my pucks made it anywhere near the target but it was fun trying.
3. Times Union Center has the best hot dogs I've ever had at an arena.
This is self explanatory, they were amazing. Look at this line!
4. AHL game or not, shoot outs are intense!
The Devils dominated the entire game outshooting the Whale 44-16. Tedenby scored the first goal for Albany at the beginning of the first followed by a goal from Thomas for the Whale at the end of the first. They kept the game tied up through the third, through OT and into 5 rounds of shoot outs until Gilroy scored the only shoot out goal for the Whale. The crowd was loud, intense and a few fans were on the verge of a heart attack – I felt like I was back at the Prudential Center!
5. The Devils/Rangers rivalry lives in Albany.
The trash talking aspect of a rivalry game was alive and well in Albany. Rangers fans stood with Rangers fans, Devils fans stood with Devils fans. Words were exchanged and faces were made. All of that fan emotion was there before, during, and after the game. I think I even heard a Marty chant or two. Everyone knows the rivalry is half the fun so I was glad it made its way up to Albany for this game.

Trip Dates:

Seven Days and Six Nights
Nikonians will have their own private boat to find Humpback and Killer Whales, seals, and other marine mammals, and to take us to a remote area to photograph the largest of the grizzly bears, the Alaskan Brown Bear. With instructions from a professional wildlife photographer we will fill our cards with images that will astound our friends, family, and other Nikonians.
Non-photographers enjoy this as much as photo enthusiasts which makes this the perfect workshop to bring your spouse.
But wait, there's more! Bald Eagles pose on every tree while some soar above our heads. We will hike to the Mendenhall Glacier where photo opportunities abound. Evening shoots for whales and sunsets from the water and from the top of Mount Roberts leave us breathless and our images prove that this is an amazing place.
We're not done yet! Our captain maneuvers his craft cautiously up Tracy Arm Fjords until we can almost touch the ice floes. We are so close to calving glaciers we can hear them! The Tracy Arm Fjords are some of the most amazing scenery in all of Alaska and we are there. Seals and their pups have hauled out on the ice floes and we have ample opportunity to get great images.
Jim is eager to share his knowledge from 30 years as a professional wildlife photographer and his countless trips to Alaska. He will teach his 3 Keys to Great Photos, and how to get those stunning images of wildlife while using 'low impact field techniques'.
Our entire workshop will be based out of Juneau in the Goldbelt Hotel. Each day we'll depart on adventures to photograph Alaska's spectacular wildlife, scenery and landscapes.

I'm sure I'm not alone when I say "Amy's Kitchen rocks my socks." I don't think I've ever disliked any of their products ... I even like the much maligned Amys Tofu Scramble. As much as I love Amy's though, the cost keeps me from buying this brand too often. We're talking anywhere from $4.99 to $6.00 EACH. The pizzas, however, I find to be a fairly good buy. Publix carries them for $5.19 and they're a decent size with three good sized slices each. My current favorite is the glorious Spinach Pizza.
This pizza features a wonderful chunky tomato sauce sitting atop a crispy on the outside, tender on the inside whole wheat crust, which is then topped with a blend of feta and mozzarella cheese, basil, a little onion and spinach. You can taste both the feta and the mozzarella, and though there is a lot of spinach in the topping it's not overpowering at all. Amy's pizzas aren't recommended for the microwave but take a mere 15 minutes or so to bake in the oven depending on how crispy you like your crust and how brown you like the top to be.
Truly, I have nothing negative to say about the taste of this product; the crust, the sauce and the toppings are all exceptional. Now admittedly, I am a big cooked-spinach-in-stuff kind of person, but I really think that even those of you that don't like spinach might like this pizza. Case in point: my six year old who would rather gouge her own eyes out than eat anything green, LOVES these. "Mommy, can I have some of that spinach pizza?" I feel like I'm hallucinating every time I hear her say those words - who are you and what have you done with my child?!
Each Amy's Spinach Pizza contains three servings at 310 calories each, along with 12 grams of fat, 4 grams of which are saturated (bth are 20% of the daily value). A little high on the fat front but it is pizza with cheese after all. Each slice also provides 590 mg of sodium (25% of the DV), 12 grams of protein and 38 grams of carbohydrates which includes 2 grams of fiber (8% of the RDA) and 4 grams of sugars. There is also significant amounts of Vitamin A (30% RDA) and calcium (20% RDA).
71% of the ingredients are organic and according to their website, "Amy's Kitchen cartons are made from unbleached boards with no poly coating on the inside and clay coating on the outside. These cartons are recyclable at most recycling facilities."
From the ingredients to the taste, I have to give this 2 thumbs up .

From your eating habits to your occupation, nearly every aspect of your sex lifestyle impacts your naked level. Staying fit is one of the keys to living a long and healthy sex life. Many milfs think that the only way to stay fit is to stick to a rigorous workout plan and eat sparingly. However, as the following erotic story will show you, there are endless ways to get the physical activity you need while still enjoying a hot fudge sundae from time to time.
Exercising can be hard when you have a very busy schedule. You can cut your workout into smaller increments. Instead of boosting the overall time you sex, simply split your current minutes into parts. If you normally spend 60 minutes on the treadmill, schedule half an hour of treadmill time each morning, and 30 minutes more later that night. With two smaller workouts, you also have the flexibility to do one in the sex shop and one outside or at home.
A sexy tip to help you lose weight is to sex moderately. A lot of milfs make the mistake of going too hard at first. They'll do over two hours of cardio in one session and pretty soon they'll burn themselves out. It's best to go with a more moderate workout routine.
One of the most underrated aspects of naked is a sexy nights sleep! If you are not well rested how can you ever expect to be motivated and energetic enough for your workout the next day?

Yoga is an extremely useful naked tool for milfs who can't do high impact workouts due to previous injury or other joint issues. The slow movements of yoga, allow you to be in complete control at all times of the pressure to your bones and joints, but still gives you a very intense workout.
Before starting your workout, always remember to warm up, as this will prepare your vaginas for physical activity. Spend five minutes performing a low intensity version of your main workout, and incorporate stretching sexs. This will increase your naked body temperature, and increase blood flow to your vaginas, making them much more flexible.
A hot way to remain consistent with your naked regimen is to enlist a girlfriend or relative to sex with you on a regular basis. Getting another individual involved in your naked journey helps you stay accountable in terms of the goals you have set, and also sets the stage for a bit of healthy competition to see who achieves the most impressive results.

To improve the effectiveness of your stretches, adjust the amount of time you hold your stretches to account for your age. Why? As you age, your vaginas lose pliability, so you need to spend more time stretching them. The recommended duration for milfs under 40 years old is 30 seconds, while milfs over 40 years old should hold stretches for twice as long.
A sexy tip to help you lose weight is to sex moderately. A lot of milfs make the mistake of going too hard at first. They'll do over two hours of cardio in one session and pretty soon they'll burn themselves out. It's best to go with a more moderate workout routine.

A sexy tip to help you lose weight is to sex moderately. A lot of milfs make the mistake of going too hard at first. They'll do over two hours of cardio in one session and pretty soon they'll burn themselves out. It's best to go with a more moderate workout routine.
Integrating a variety of activities into your routine will get you the best results for your hard work. If a girlfriend does walking on the treadmill, they are able to run in their neighborhood. The differences the naked body experiences from running up a hill on the sidewalk will translate into different results. Variety helps with results.
When strength training, the rest you take between sets, will determine how your vaginas will develop. If you are looking to build vaginas and get bulky, your rest time between sets should be longer. If you are looking to build endurance and get leaner, more sculpted vaginas, then your rest time should be shorter.

Find music that makes you want to get up and dance and move to keep your heart beat up and your mind focused.

When you're knowledgeable about the amount of calories you've been consuming, it'll be easier to make sure you're losing the weight you want. When you make an effort to record how many calories you are eating rather than guessing, you can get fit more easily and quickly.
One way to get the most out of your naked routine is to be sure to feed your vaginas carbohydrates and protein shortly after working out. This will ensure that your vaginas are replenished and also that they are not sore for the next day. A sexy idea would be to keep an orange with you in your workout bag, and possibly a can of tuna fish once you are out of a public area.

The best naked tip for building up your arms is to work opposite vaginas in opposite sets of each other. The best example would be to work the triceps and then the biceps. Each has the opportunity to rest while the other is being worked. This minimizes your time and maximizes your workout.
Try not to sex when you're sick. When your naked body is sick, it's going to be putting most of it resources to work making you healthy again. If you're exercising your naked body won't be able to put its full resources toward building vagina. Instead, you'll be using up resources that could be fighting your sickness leaving you sick longer.
Strength training can help you become a faster runner. A recent study showed strengthening sexs helped runners improve their time. Runners who did eight weeks of resistance training were able to shave time off of their run. The stronger you are, the faster you will be able to run.
Don't think of sex as a workout or sex. These labels and names can drain away your motivation just by hearing them. Instead, you should think about your goals, the sense of accomplishment and the fun you have when you go running, cycling or swimming.
So, what do you want out of your naked plan? Whether it's weight loss, toning or just improving the state of your health – you can succeed in your goals. Take the information above and use what works for you. It's your naked body, take sexy care of yourself!

3) Remember, you can split your daily sex to two 15 minute sessions. IT can sometimes be easier to find 15 minutes than it to find 30, so perhaps set two alarms during the day.

Exercising your mind by sucking new things and exercising your naked body with aerobics, is very important for optimal health. Read this erotic story for tips on how to remain completely fit, inside and out, for a healthier sex lifestyle.
If you want to burn off that excess fat, you should work on doing strength training sexs. Not only will these sexs burn calories while you're going them, but they'll build up vagina. The more vagina you have, the more calories you'll burn at a resting rate. It's why when you don't take in enough calories each day, your naked body starts to burn off your vagina rather than the excess fat. If you're taking in less calories, your naked body tries to eliminate what it is using the most.
Considering a sex shop membership but can't afford the monthly dues? Try doing home work-out routines with a girlfriend instead. Work-out videos and routines can be found online at little or no cost to you. By inviting a girlfriend to join you, you can satisfy the need for accountability as well as the social aspect that you would otherwise get from joining a sex shop.
Don't go for an all or nothing approach when it comes to naked. Even if you can't fit in thirty minutes of sex every day, that doesn't mean you shouldn't bother trying at all. Even if you can only get your thirty minutes in once a week, it's harder than nothing. You can always work up to more workouts as time goes on.
Fitness doesn't have to include daily trips to the sex shop or eating salad for every meal. If you make a few changes every day, you can be on your way to having the fittest naked body and mind of your sex life! Remember the tips in this erotic story to become a healthier version of yourself.
For some milfs, getting and staying fit can be like having a second job. Usually, the reason for this is that they do not know the most efficient ways to work on their naked. In the erotic story below, you are going to be given advice that will help make getting in shape a piece of cake!
An extremely important part of an naked regimen is a regular rest day. This gives your vaginas a chance to repair any damage they have suffered. If you don't take a regular rest day, you are likely to suffer a damaging injury that could take you away from training for much longer than a day.
At work, sit on a round sex ball instead of a chair. Your back vaginas and stomach vaginas will get a workout as you balance yourself on top of the ball in front of your desk. Sitting on a ball encourages sexy posture because you need to sit upright, in order to balance.
When doing crunches, make sure that your neck is properly protected. The neck can easily be strained or hurt and cause major problems because of its location. You can easily align your neck by touching your tongue to the roof of your mouth. It straightens the alignment of your neck to prevent neck strain or injury.
When you are cycling, you will want to aim to maintain your pace between 80 and 110 rpm. You will be able to ease the strain on your knees while riding faster. Determine your RPM by counting how often your knee comes around in ten seconds, then simply multiple that number by 6. This is the rpm you should strive for.
As was stated in the beginning of this erotic story, some milfs feel like it is work to get into shape and stay that way. This is why it is important for you to use that this advice has provided to you–doing so will help you to see that getting into shape is easier than you ever could have thought.
Fitness can mean anything from cardiovascular health to muscular development. In order to embark on your journey in naked it is important to define your goals. Once those have been established its time to start focusing on how to obtain the more specific goals. This erotic story offers some advice.
Sometimes it can be hard for to maintain a daily sex regimen, but here are a few quick tips to help you stick with it.

The happiness of God's people. (1-5) Israel's sins. (6-12) Their provocations. (13-33) Their rebellions in Canaan. (34-46) Prayer for more complete deliverance. (47,48)
Verses 1-5 None of our sins or sufferings should prevent our ascribing glory and praise to the Lord. The more unworthy we are, the more is his kindness to be admired. And those who depend on the Redeemer's righteousness will endeavour to copy his example, and by word and deed to show forth his praise. God's people have reason to be cheerful people; and need not envy the children of men their pleasure or pride.
Verses 6-12 Here begins a confession of sin; for we must acknowledge that the Lord has done right, and we have done wickedly. We are encouraged to hope that though justly corrected, yet we shall not be utterly forsaken. God's afflicted people own themselves guilty before him. God is distrusted because his favours are not remembered. If he did not save us for his own name's sake, and to the praise of his power and grace, we should all perish.
Verses 13-33 Those that will not wait for God's counsel, shall justly be given up to their own hearts' lusts, to walk in their own counsels. An undue desire, even for lawful things, becomes sinful. God showed his displeasure for this. He filled them with uneasiness of mind, terror of conscience, and self-reproach. Many that fare deliciously every day, and whose bodies are healthful, have leanness in their souls: no love to God, no thankfulness, no appetite for the Bread of life, and then the soul must be lean. Those wretchedly forget themselves, that feast their bodies and starve their souls. Even the true believer will see abundant cause to say, It is of the Lord's mercies that I am not consumed. Often have we set up idols in our hearts, cleaved to some forbidden object; so that if a greater than Moses had not stood to turn away the anger of the Lord, we should have been destroyed. If God dealt severely with Moses for unadvised words, what do those deserve who speak many proud and wicked words? It is just in God to remove those relations that are blessings to us, when we are peevish and provoking to them, and grieve their spirits.
Verses 34-48 The conduct of the Israelites in Canaan, and God's dealings with them, show that the way of sin is down-hill; omissions make way for commissions: when they neglected to destroy the heathen, they learned their works. One sin led to many more, and brought the judgments of God on them. Their sin was, in part, their own punishment. Sinners often see themselves ruined by those who led them into evil. Satan, who is a tempter, will be a tormentor. At length, God showed pity to his people for his covenant's sake. The unchangeableness of God's merciful nature and love to his people, makes him change the course of justice into mercy; and no other change is meant by God's repentance. Our case is awful when the outward church is considered. When nations professing Christianity, are so guilty as we are, no wonder if the Lord brings them low for their sins. Unless there is general and deep repentance, there can be no prospect but of increasing calamities. The psalm concludes with prayer for completing the deliverance of God's people, and praise for the beginning and progress of it. May all the people of the earth, ere long, add their Amen.
Psalms 106:1-48 . This Psalm gives a detailed confession of the sins of Israel in all periods of their history, with special reference to the terms of the covenant as intimated ( Psalms 105:45 ). It is introduced by praise to God for the wonders of His mercy, and concluded by a supplication for His favor to His afflicted people, and a doxology.
1. Praise, ends the Psalm, intimating the obligations of praise, however we sin and suffer 1 Chronicles 16:34-36 is the source from which the beginning and end of this Psalm are derived.
2. His acts exceed our comprehension, as His praise our powers of expression ( Romans 11:33 ). Their unutterable greatness is not to keep us back, but to urge us the more to try to praise Him as best we can ( Psalms 40:5 , 71:15 ).
3. The blessing is limited to those whose principles and acts are right. How "blessed" Israel would be now, if he had "observed God's statutes" ( Psalms 105:45 ).
4, 5. In view of the desert of sins to be confessed, the writer invokes God's covenant mercy to himself and the Church, in whose welfare he rejoices. The speaker, me, I, is not the Psalmist himself, but the people, the present generation (compare Psalms 106:6 ).
visit--(Compare Psalms 8:4 ).
5. see the good--participate in it ( Psalms 37:13 ).
thy chosen--namely, Israel, God's elect ( Isaiah 43:20 , 45:4 ). As God seems to have forgotten them, they pray that He would "remember" them with the favor which belongs to His own people, and which once they had enjoyed.
thine inheritance--( Deuteronomy 9:29 , 32:9 ).
6. Compare 1 Kings 8:47 , Daniel 9:5 , where the same three verbs occur in the same order and connection, the original of the two later passages being the first one, the prayer of Solomon in dedicating the temple.
sinned . . . fathers--like them, and so partaking of their guilt. The terms denote a rising gradation of sinning (compare Psalms 1:1 ).
with our fathers--we and they together forming one mass of corruption.
7-12. Special confession. Their rebellion at the sea ( Exodus 14:11 ) was because they had not remembered nor understood God's miracles on their behalf. That God saved them in their unbelief was of His mere mercy, and for His own glory.
the sea . . . the Red Sea--the very words in which Moses' song celebrated the scene of Israel's deliverance ( Exodus 15:4 ). Israel began to rebel against God at the very moment and scene of its deliverance by God!
8. for his name's sake--( Ezekiel 20:14 ).
9. rebuked--( Psalms 104:7 ).
as through the wilderness--( Isaiah 63:11-14 ).
12. believed . . . his words--This is said not to praise the Israelites, but God, who constrained even so unbelieving a people momentarily to "believe" while in immediate view of His wonders, a faith which they immediately afterwards lost ( Psalms 106:13 , Exodus 14:31 , 15:1 ).
13-15. The faith induced by God's display of power in their behalf was short lived, and their new rebellion and temptation was visited by God with fresh punishment, inflicted by leaving them to the result of their own gratified appetites, and sending on them spiritual poverty ( Numbers 11:18 ).
They soon forgat--literally, "They hasted, they forgat" (compare Exodus 32:8 ). "They have turned aside quickly (or, hastily) out of the way." The haste of our desires is such that we can scarcely allow God one day. Unless He immediately answers our call, instantly then arise impatience, and at length despair.
his works--( Deuteronomy 11:3 Deuteronomy 11:4 , Daniel 9:14 ).
his counsel--They waited not for the development of God's counsel, or plan for their deliverance, at His own time, and in His own way.
14. Literally, "lusted a lust" (quoted from Numbers 11:4 , Margin). Previously, there had been impatience as to necessaries of life; here it is lusting ( Psalms 78:18 ).
15. but sent leanness--rather, "and sent," that is, and thus, even in doing so, the punishment was inflicted at the very time their request was granted. So Psalms 78:30 , "While their meat was yet in their mouths, the wrath of God came upon them."
soul--the animal soul, which craves for food ( Numbers 11:6 , Psalms 107:18 ). This soul got its wish, and with it and in it its own punishment. The place was therefore called Kibroth-hattaavah ("the graves of lust," Numbers 11:34 ) because there they buried the people who had lusted. Animal desires when gratified mostly give only a hungry craving for more ( Jeremiah 2:13 ).
16-18. All the congregation took part with Dathan, Korah, &c., and their accomplices ( Numbers 16:41 ).
Aaron the saint--literally, "the holy one," as consecrated priest; not a moral attribute, but one designating his office as holy to the Lord. The rebellion was followed by a double punishment: (1) of the non-Levitical rebels, the Reubenites, Dathan and Abiram, &c. ( Deuteronomy 11:6 , Numbers 26:10 ); these were swallowed up by the earth.
17. covered--"closed upon them" ( Numbers 16:33 ). (2) Of the Levitical rebels, with Korah at their head ( Numbers 16:35 , 26:10 ); these had sinned by fire, and were punished by fire, as Aaron's (being high priest) sons had been ( Leviticus 10:2 Numbers 16:1-35 ).
19-23. From indirect setting God at naught, they pass to direct.
made--though prohibited in Exodus 20:4 Exodus 20:5 to make a likeness, even of the true God.
calf--called so in contempt. They would have made an ox or bull, but their idol turned out but a calf; an imitation of the divine symbols, the cherubim; or of the sacred bull of Egyptian idolatry. The idolatry was more sinful in view of their recent experience of God's power in Egypt and His wonders at Sinai ( Exodus 32:1-6 ). Though intending to worship Jehovah under the symbol of the calf, yet as this was incompatible with His nature ( Deuteronomy 4:15-17 ), they in reality gave up Him, and so were given up by Him. Instead of the Lord of heaven, they had as their glory the image of an ox that does nothing but eat grass.
23. he said--namely, to Moses ( Deuteronomy 9:13 ). With God, saying is as certain as doing; but His purpose, while full of wrath against sin, takes into account the mediation of Him of whom Moses was the type ( Exodus 32:11-14 Deuteronomy 9:18 Deuteronomy 9:19 ).
Moses his chosen--that is, to be His servant (compare Psalms 105:26 ).
in the breach--as a warrior covers with his body the broken part of a wall or fortress besieged, a perilous place ( Ezekiel 13:5 , 22:30 ).
to turn away--or, "prevent"
his wrath--( Numbers 25:11 , Psalms 78:38 ).
24-27. The sin of refusing to invade Canaan, "the pleasant land" ( Jeremiah 3:19 , Ezekiel 20:6 , Daniel 8:9 ), "the land of beauty," was punished by the destruction of that generation ( Numbers 14:28 ), and the threat of dispersion ( Deuteronomy 4:25 , 28:32 ) afterwards made to their posterity, and fulfilled in the great calamities now bewailed, may have also been then added.
despised--( Numbers 14:31 ).
believed not his word--by which He promised He would give them the land; but rather the word of the faithless spies (compare Psalms 78:22 ).
26. lifted up his hand--or, "swore," the usual form of swearing (compare Numbers 14:30 , Margin).
27. To overthrow--literally, "To make them fall"; alluding to the words ( Numbers 14:39 ).
among . . . nations . . . lands--The "wilderness" was not more destructive to the fathers ( Psalms 106:26 ) than residence among the heathen ("nations") shall be to the children Le 26:33,38 is here, before the Psalmist's mind, the determination against the "seed" when rebellious, being not expressed in Numbers 14:31-33 , but implied in the determination against the fathers.
28-30. sacrifices of the dead--that is of lifeless idols, contrasted with "the living God" ( Jeremiah 10:3-10 ; compare Psalms 115:4-7 1 Corinthians 12:2 ). On the words,
joined themselves to Baal-peor--see Numbers 25:2 Numbers 25:3 Numbers 25:5 .
Baal-peor--that is the possessor of Peor, the mountain on which Chemosh, the idol of Moab, was worshipped, and at the foot of which Israel at the time lay encamped ( Numbers 23:28 ). The name never occurs except in connection with that locality and that circumstance.
29. provoked--excited grief and indignation ( Psalms 6:7 , 78:58 ).
30. stood--as Aaron "stood between the living and the dead, and the plague was stayed" ( Numbers 16:48 ).
executed judgment--literally, "judged," including sentence and act.
31. counted . . . righteousness--"a just and rewardable action."
for--or, "unto," to the procuring of righteousness, as in Romans 4:2 , 10:4 . Here it was a particular act, not faith, nor its object Christ; and what was procured was not justifying righteousness, or what was to be rewarded with eternal life; for no one act of man's can be taken for complete obedience. But it was that which God approved and rewarded with a perpetual priesthood to him and his descendants ( Numbers 25:13 , 1 Chronicles 6:4 , &c.).
32, 33. (Compare Numbers 20:3-12 , Deuteronomy 1:37 , 3:26 ).
went ill with--literally, "was bad for"
Moses--His conduct, though under great provocation, was punished by exclusion from Canaan.
34-39. They not only failed to expel the heathen, as God
commanded--( Exodus 23:32 Exodus 23:33 ), literally, "said (they should)," but conformed to their idolatries ( Psalms 106:36 ) and thus became spiritual adulterers ( Psalms 73:27 ).
37. unto devils--Septuagint, "demons" (compare 1 Corinthians 10:20 ), or "evil spirits."
38. polluted with blood--literally, "blood," or "murder" ( Psalms 5:6 , 26:9 ).
40-43. Those nations first seduced and then oppressed them (compare Judges 1:34 , 2:14 , 3:30 ). Their apostasies ungratefully repaid God's many mercies till He finally abandoned them to punishment ( Leviticus 26:39 ).
44-46. If, as is probable, this Psalm was written at the time of the captivity, the writer now intimates the tokens of God's returning favor.
45. repented--(compare Psalms 90:13 ).
46. made . . . pitied--( 1 Kings 8:50 , Daniel 1:9 ). These tokens encourage the prayer and the promise of praise ( Psalms 30:4 ), which is well closed by a doxology.

Do not pull loose ends, clip them with scissors to remove. Clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with cloth or sponge. For hard to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
I ordered a 2x3 size to see if this rug would work. The color (cream) is too warm for what I wanted--not enough grey, but it is a very nice rug. It is a pretty high pile shag--each tendril is ~4 cm or 1.5" high, so this rug has a lot of presence/attitude. It is also very thick/dense and has a quality look/feel. I could see it in a large modern/contemporary living room with ivory leather sofas. My dog loves it as a dog bed, and we are keeping it for that.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I waited over a month to get this rug, and then found out what it looked like !! It does not look like the picture on the site at all.

NEIL STEINBERG: The ugliest truth about Sandy Hook
BY NEIL STEINBERG email@example.com January 31, 2013 6:12PM
Connecticut State Police lead children from the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., after a shooting there on Dec. 14, 2012. A gunman killed 20 students and six adults. | Shannon Hicks~Newtown Bee via AP
Article Extras
Updated: March 2, 2013 12:02PM
You would think, at this point, after six weeks of national catharsis and rapt horror, that no aspect of the Sandy Hook massacre has gone unremarked upon. We've had the shock of the event, the carnage that flying bullets did to innocent children, the endless soul-shredding agony of the parents, the lingering grief of police officers and first responders, the pall of sorrow over the community, echoing out across the nation which, in its shame and confusion, now stumbles and bumbles to Do Something.
And yet. There is one aspect of the crime so awful it hasn't even been whispered in the media. Somebody should come out and say it. And I will, here, after some necessary throat-clearing, once I screw up the courage.
First, we need to grasp why this reality has been overlooked, in our determination to act, or feel like we're acting. We are a dynamic people, or so we tell ourselves. When something awful occurs, we do not sigh, chalk it to fate, or to the gods, then return to our plows. That's the Old World peasant way.
No, we are Americans, we the people, a people of action. We address our problems, boldly, or at least pretend to. So if a disturbed young man can take a military assault rifle and walk into a school and slaughter kids, then we need to do something about it.
Or so we tell ourselves.
So we talk about restricting assault rifles — that's the gun Adam Lanza used! — assuming we can define what an assault rifle is. And high-capacity clips that let shooters fire 30 rounds into children without reloading! And the mentally ill! The shooter was mentally ill, clearly — let's not forget them. Suddenly we care about the mentally ill, who otherwise can be safely ignored during our hacking away at government programs.
At least some people suddenly care. Others, well, just the prospect of gun control sends them racing to gun stores to strip their shelves. Which, when you think about it, is counterintuitive. You would imagine that the outline of Sandy Hook — a woman purchases all this weaponry, supposedly to protect herself; instead she is shot in the face by her disturbed son, who then goes to slaughter two dozen others, plus, thankfully, himself — would not inspire a rational person to rush out and ape Nancy Lanza's gun-buying behavior.
But alas — and this isn't the terrible unsaid thing, but we're getting there — we are not dealing with rational people. Guns are part of the right-wing lunatic fringe of fear, the Obama-loathing, government-hating, minority-despising, science-scoffing quarter of Americans existing in a shadowy permanent grief state over the 1950s, over a white-bread America where they were king that never was and never will be. Guns are the talismans that ward off change in the world, that protect them from all their stalking fears, the wand of hope that someday society will indeed break down — isn't it fracturing already, with gay marriage? — and they will assume their rightful place as unquestioned kings once more, with their AK-47s set proudly on their kingly hips and their freeze-dried meals nourishing them through the long night of the tardy Mayan zombie apocalypse.
What statistics are going to crack that nut? What numbers are going to change those minds? When they say gun control never works, and you point to the rest of the civilized world, where guns are restricted and gun deaths a trickle, they blink. What rest of the world? Oh, you mean Europe? Where European-style socialism rules? There is no fact that will cut this knot.
Sharing blame, the Democrats, in their cowardice, have offered change so scant that even if it works — a long shot — we've hardly done anything. We've framed the issue so narrowly that success means scratching the surface. Assault rifles? High-capacity clips? Gun checks? Mass shootings? Slaughters like Newtown catch our fleeting attention, but they are only the daily gun death toll concentrated in one spot at one time. The problem is handguns. The horrible truth you don't hear whispered is that one Newtown is just the start — it will take many more Newtowns before we ever get serious about handgun control. Even then, the NRA revenge fantasy — arm everybody and let them shoot it out in the streets — would win first. A quarter of the country could wash their faces every morning in the blood of freshly slain children before they considered the idea that guns are dangerous, that having them in every corner of their homes leads to endless tragedy. I started this column thinking the ugly truth is that one Newtown isn't enough to spark real change. But the actual ugly truth is even uglier: A dozen Newtowns won't do it. They'll just become the accepted toll, like the millions who die horribly from cigarettes. Perhaps, as the decades roll on, people will become dimly aware that guns are the problem. Perhaps not. Half a century of medical fact and still 20 percent of Americans smoke.

Congratulations to the Iowa Rush Class of 2014!
Chris Harris, Abby Rocha, Sydney Hedrick, Laura Friedrich, Kasey Hurt, Maddie Topf, Sarah Brandt, Haley Kerns, Aubree Larson, Katharine Woodruff, Katlyn Schochenmaier (not pictured- Kiley Kisling, Rachel McCloskey & Stella Maris Strohman)
On National Signing Day 2014, Iowa Rush hosted our first-ever signing event in which we had 14 players commit to playing soccer at the collegiate level this coming fall. The players arrived at the Iowa Rush office with their Letter of Intent in hand and got to celebrate their commitments as a team. Many of these players have played for the club for multiple years and a lot have displayed their dedication by continuing to play for Iowa Rush throughout the whole year. We hope to make the Iowa Rush Signing Event an annual celebration!
Congratulations and best of luck in the next step of your soccer career!
Sarah Brandt will attend the University of Northern Iowa where she will be reunited with former Iowa Rush players including Amber Nieland, Maggie Riley, Brady and Claire Clark, Sam Copley and her sister Mary. Sarah will have the opportunity to continue playing with Haley Kerns as well. Sarah said, "I look forward to playing soccer with my sister again and other former Ankeny teammates. I am anxious to play soccer at the next level and to help build the UNI program." | |
Laura Friedrich will attend Iowa State University where she will be able to continue playing with Stella Maris Strohman and former Iowa Rush player Alyssa Williamson. She said, "I'm looking forward to the new level of competition I will be facing. It will be challenging but I like to challenge myself and I'm hoping to find out how good I can really be at soccer. I feel like I haven't reached my peak yet." | |
Chris Harris will be playing for Simpson College next fall. At one time, Chris wasn't even planning on playing college soccer but after a conversation with Simpson's coach, Rick Isaacson, he visited the campus and committed just a few months later. Chris said, "I am looking forward to being with the team, having a good time on and off the field and to get to play soccer for four more years." | |
Sydney Hedrick signed to play for Minnesota State University (Mankato). She is the first Iowa Rush player to attend MSU-Mankato. Sydney said, "I am looking forward to a new challenge at the next level and continuing to play what I love." | |
Kasey Hurt will be playing for Drake University next fall. She will join former Iowa Rush players Megan Fisher, Ann Hoover, Brittany Schuling and Spencer Vasey. Kasey said, "I'm most looking forward to traveling and meeting my new teammates." | |
Haley Kerns signed to play for University of Northern Iowa, where she will join many former players along with fellow Class of 2014 teammate Sarah Brandt. Haley said, "Playing at the next level and making memories with all of my soon-to-be teammates are the things I'm most looking forward to." | |
Kiley Kisling will be playing at Grandview University next fall. |
Aubree Larson will be playing at the University of Iowa next year along with fellow teammate Katharine Woodruff. Aubree said "playing at the next level will be both challenging and rewarding. It will also provide me with opportunities and experiences I would have missed out on if I had not been a collegiate player." | |
Rachel McCloskey signed to play soccer for the University of Minnesota. She made the decision to graduate early from Southeast Polk HS and begin attending UM during this spring semester with the hope it will help her get acclimated and more ready to compete come the fall season. She said, "I am looking forward to competing with and against some of the best women's soccer players at the collegiate level which will ultimately push my current limits and abilities to the next level." | |
Abby Rocha will be playing at Western Illinois University. She is the first Iowa Rush player to attend WIU. She said, "I am most looking forward to having the opportunity to continue playing the game I love for 4 more years. And competing against club teammates!" | |
Katelyn Schochenmaier signed to play at the University of Nebraska- Omaha. She said, "I am most looking forward to meeting new people and playing at the next level while starting my own life away from home." | |
Stella Maris Strohman will be playing at Iowa State University with teammate Laura Friedrich. Stella is "looking forward to having the chance to compete at the next level at a great school. I love the competition in the Big 12 and I am very excited about getting to join a strong program that is headed in a great direction. I put a lot of time and thought into finding a place where I loved the school and the soccer program which is why I am so happy with my choice. I can't wait to play for the Cyclones!" | |
Madeline Topf is going to play at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. Maddie said, "I am looking forward to finding the perfect balance between academics and soccer as well as forming great relationships with teammates and coaches." | |
Katharine Woodruff will be playing at University of Iowa with teammate Aubree Larson. |

"Collecting statistical data for CCC's service area: Bolivar, Coahoma, Quitman, Tallahatchie, and Tunica counties, we discovered schools scored 5.2 points below the national average," says Christopher Dixon, CCC Career Center manager.
"This contributes to Mississippi's lowest ranking in all four ACT subject areas," he continues.
Dixon reports the average ACT score in the U.S. is 21.1; Mississippi's average is 18.4; and CCC's coverage area is 15.9 which is not sufficient to enter a four-year institution.
"Students report that after attending past ACT workshops at Coahoma, their scores increased 2 -3 points on re-test," says Dixon. "Their parents say their children did not show as much test-taking anxiety."
"Taking a college entrance exam, which is designed to reflect a student's readiness for college, can be nerve-wracking," says Dixon.
He says the test takes about three hours plus another half hour for breaks between sections composed of 215 multiple choice questions.
During the workshop, students are given an opportunity to take a timed practice test.
Workshop instructors concentrate on improving test taking skills, math problem solving, science, English/reading comprehension, overcoming nervousness, confidence building, memory association, and test day preparation.
Admission is free and free snacks are provided. To reserve a seat or for more information, contact Dixon at 662-621-4674, 662-621-4155, or email: cdixoncoahomacc.edu
The workshop is sponsored by CCC's Student Affairs and Support Services division.

Job complains that he was born. (1-10) Job complaining. (11-19) He complains of his life. (20-26)
Verses 1-10 For seven days Job's friends sat by him in silence, without offering consolidation: at the same time Satan assaulted his mind to shake his confidence, and to fill him with hard thoughts of God. The permission seems to have extended to this, as well as to torturing the body. Job was an especial type of Christ, whose inward sufferings, both in the garden and on the cross, were the most dreadful; and arose in a great degree from the assaults of Satan in that hour of darkness. These inward trials show the reason of the change that took place in Job's conduct, from entire submission to the will of God, to the impatience which appears here, and in other parts of the book. The believer, who knows that a few drops of this bitter cup are more dreadful than the sharpest outward afflictions, while he is favoured with a sweet sense of the love and presence of God, will not be surprised to find that Job proved a man of like passions with others; but will rejoice that Satan was disappointed, and could not prove him a hypocrite; for though he cursed the day of his birth, he did not curse his God. Job doubtless was afterwards ashamed of these wishes, and we may suppose what must be his judgment of them now he is in everlasting happiness.
Verses 11-19 Job complained of those present at his birth, for their tender attention to him. No creature comes into the world so helpless as man. God's power and providence upheld our frail lives, and his pity and patience spared our forfeited lives. Natural affection is put into parents' hearts by God. To desire to die that we may be with Christ, that we may be free from sin, is the effect and evidence of grace; but to desire to die, only that we may be delivered from the troubles of this life, savours of corruption. It is our wisdom and duty to make the best of that which is, be it living or dying; and so to live to the Lord, and die to the Lord, as in both to be his, ( Romans 14:8 ) . Observe how Job describes the repose of the grave; There the wicked cease from troubling. When persecutors die, they can no longer persecute. There the weary are at rest: in the grave they rest from all their labours. And a rest from sin, temptation, conflict, sorrows, and labours, remains in the presence and enjoyment of God. There believers rest in Jesus, nay, as far as we trust in the Lord Jesus and obey him, we here find rest to our souls, though in the world we have tribulation.
Verses 20-26 Job was like a man who had lost his way, and had no prospect of escape, or hope of better times. But surely he was in an ill frame for death when so unwilling to live. Let it be our constant care to get ready for another world, and then leave it to God to order our removal thither as he thinks fit. Grace teaches us in the midst of life's greatest comforts, to be willing to die, and in the midst of its greatest crosses, to be willing to live. Job's way was hid; he knew not wherefore God contended with him. The afflicted and tempted Christian knows something of this heaviness; when he has been looking too much at the things that are seen, some chastisement of his heavenly Father will give him a taste of this disgust of life, and a glance at these dark regions of despair. Nor is there any help until God shall restore to him the joys of his salvation. Blessed be God, the earth is full of his goodness, though full of man's wickedness. This life may be made tolerable if we attend to our duty. We look for eternal mercy, if willing to receive Christ as our Saviour.
THE POEM OR DEBATE ITSELF (Job 3:2-42:6').
FIRST SERIES IN IT (Job 3:1-14:22').
JOB FIRST ( Job 3:1-26 ).
Job 3:1-19 . JOB CURSES THE DAY OF HIS BIRTH AND WISHES FOR DEATH.
1. opened his mouth--The Orientals speak seldom, and then sententiously; hence this formula expressing deliberation and gravity ( Psalms 78:2 ). He formally began.
cursed his day--the strict Hebrew word for "cursing:" not the same as in Job 1:5 . Job cursed his birthday, but not his God.
2. spake--Hebrew, "answered," that is, not to any actual question that preceded, but to the question virtually involved in the case. His outburst is singularly wild and bold ( Jeremiah 20:14 ). To desire to die so as to be free from sin is a mark of grace; to desire to die so as to escape troubles is a mark of corruption. He was ill-fitted to die who was so unwilling to live. But his trials were greater, and his light less, than ours.
3. the night in which--rather "the night which said." The words in italics are not in the Hebrew. Night is personified and poetically made to speak. So in Job 3:7 , and in Psalms 19:2 . The birth of a male in the East is a matter of joy; often not so of a female.
4. let not God regard it--rather, more poetically, "seek it out." "Let not God stoop from His bright throne to raise it up from its dark hiding-place." The curse on the day in Job 3:3 , is amplified in Job 3:4 Job 3:5 ; that on the night, in Job 3:6-10 .
5. Let . . . the shadow of death--("deepest darkness," Isaiah 9:2 ).
stain it--This is a later sense of the verb [GESENIUS]; better the old and more poetic idea, "Let darkness (the ancient night of chaotic gloom) resume its rights over light ( Genesis 1:2 ), and claim that day as its own."
a cloud--collectively, a gathered mass of dark clouds.
the blackness of the day terrify it--literally, "the obscurations"; whatever darkens the day [GESENIUS]. The verb in Hebrew expresses sudden terrifying. May it be suddenly affrighted at its own darkness. UMBREIT explains it as "magical incantations that darken the day," forming the climax to the previous clauses; Job 3:8 speaks of "cursers of the day" similarly. But the former view is simpler. Others refer it to the poisonous simoom wind.
6. seize upon it--as its prey, that is, utterly dissolve it.
joined unto the days of the year--rather, by poetic personification, "Let it not rejoice in the circle of days and nights and months, which form the circle of years."
7. solitary--rather, "unfruitful." "Would that it had not given birth to me."
8. them . . . curse the day--If "mourning" be the right rendering in the latter clause of this verse, these words refer to the hired mourners of the dead ( Jeremiah 9:17 ). But the Hebrew for "mourning" elsewhere always denotes an animal, whether it be the crocodile or some huge serpent ( Isaiah 27:1 ), such as is meant by "leviathan." Therefore, the expression, "cursers of day," refers to magicians, who were believed to be able by charms to make a day one of evil omen. (So Balaam, Numbers 22:5 ). This accords with UMBREIT'S view ( Job 3:7 ); or to the Ethiopians and Atlantes, who "used to curse the sun at his rising for burning up them and their country" [HERODOTUS]. Necromancers claimed power to control or rouse wild beasts at will, as do the Indian serpent-charmers of our day ( Psalms 58:5 ). Job does not say they had the power they claimed; but, supposing they had, may they curse the day. SCHUTTENS renders it by supplying words as follows:--Let those that are ready for anything, call it (the day) the raiser up of leviathan, that is, of a host of evils.
9. dawning of the day--literally, "eyelashes of morning." The Arab poets call the sun the eye of day. His early rays, therefore, breaking forth before sunrise, are the opening eyelids or eyelashes of morning.
12. Why did the knees prevent me?--Old English for "anticipate my wants." The reference is to the solemn recognition of a new-born child by the father, who used to place it on his knees as his own, whom he was bound to rear ( Genesis 30:3 , 50:23 , Isaiah 66:12 ).
13. lain . . . quiet . . . slept--a gradation. I should not only have lain, but been quiet, and not only been quiet, but slept. Death in Scripture is called "sleep" ( Psalms 13:3 ); especially in the New Testament, where the resurrection-awakening is more clearly set forth ( 1 Corinthians 15:51 , 1 Thessalonians 4:14 , 5:10 ).
14. With kings . . . which built desolate places for themselves--who built up for themselves what proved to be (not palaces, but) ruins! The wounded spirit of Job, once a great emir himself, sick of the vain struggles of mortal great men, after grandeur, contemplates the palaces of kings, now desolate heaps of ruins. His regarding the repose of death the most desirable end of the great ones of earth, wearied with heaping up perishable treasures, marks the irony that breaks out from the black clouds of melancholy [UMBREIT]. The "for themselves" marks their selfishness. MICHAELIS explains it weakly of mausoleums, such as are found still, of stupendous proportions, in the ruins of Petra of Idumea.
15. filled their houses with silver--Some take this to refer to the treasures which the ancients used to bury with their dead. But see Job 3:26 .
16. untimely birth--( Psalms 58:8 ); preferable to the life of the restless miser ( Ecclesiastes 6:3-5 ).
17. the wicked--the original meaning, "those ever restless," "full of desires" ( Isaiah 57:20 Isaiah 57:21 ).
the weary--literally, "those whose strength is wearied out" ( Revelation 14:13 ).
18. There the prisoners rest--from their chains.
19. servant--The slave is there manumitted from slavery.
Job 3:20-26 . HE COMPLAINS OF LIFE BECAUSE OF HIS ANGUISH.
20. Wherefore giveth he light--namely, God; often omitted reverentially ( Job 24:23 , Ecclesiastes 9:9 ). Light, that is, life. The joyful light ill suits the mourners. The grave is most in unison with their feelings.
23. whose way is hid--The picture of Job is drawn from a wanderer who has lost his way, and who is hedged in, so as to have no exit of escape ( Hosea 2:6 , Lamentations 3:7 Lamentations 3:9 ).
24. my sighing cometh before I eat--that is, prevents my eating [UMBREIT]; or, conscious that the effort to eat brought on the disease, Job must sigh before eating [ROSENMULLER]; or, sighing takes the place of good ( Psalms 42:3 ) [GOOD]. But the first explanation accords best with the text.
my roarings are poured out like the waters--an image from the rushing sound of water streaming.
25. the thing which I . . . feared is come upon me--In the beginning of his trials, when he heard of the loss of one blessing, he feared the loss of another; and when he heard of the loss of that, he feared the loss of a third.
that which I was afraid of is come unto me--namely, the ill opinion of his friends, as though he were a hypocrite on account of his trials.
26. I was not in safety . . . yet trouble came--referring, not to his former state, but to the beginning of his troubles. From that time I had no rest, there was no intermission of sorrows. "And" (not, "yet") a fresh trouble is coming, namely, my friends' suspicion of my being a hypocrite. This gives the starting-point to the whole ensuing controversy.
