Hey WWT!

Would anyone be interested in me producing some asynchronous learning videos? 

Normally when we record our live sessions, we put them in the archives section of the website, but these would be different.  They would probably be more lecture-based and would not be recorded with a live class.   Would this interest you?

Close Up Of Gorilla Youngster Trying To Pull Out Loose Baby Tooth A bit of caution as this video includes many close up shots of the loose tooth and it might not be for everybody, but nothing we haven’t all been through! :-) It looks like Lope is going to get a visit from the tooth fairy! I know most of us Lope lovers, would just want to cuddle him and make him feel better, but I think he handles it pretty well. This video is the short version. The long version with different clips, you can watch here: https://youtu.be/zm6JLPSQ8dM The gorilla youngster from the Twycross Zoo in England is lying in the wood wool. Not a great day for him as he has a loose tooth. Mum licks his face as to comfort him. Looking closely at his teeth now, he keeps trying to wiggle and play with it. Just like human kids do when they about to lose their baby teeth, something we all went through. Unlike human dads, I don’t think his Silverback dad would quite attach the floss to a door to pull out a tooth, so Lope has to do it by himself. :-) It hasn’t far to go as the tooth is just clinging on. When mum Ozala and little brother Shufai come close, Lope gets up a bit cranky, biting the fire hose and then starts to wrestle his mum. When he wrestles his mum, you can actually see that the tooth has come out! So I’m not sure if it happened when Lope bit on that hose or in the scuffle with his mum. If anybody wonders why he has a black tongue, apparently it’s because of the food he eats. It is because of something called tannins which is present in many plant foods. #CheekyGorillaLope #SloggerVloggerGorillas #SloggerVlogger SloggerVlogger

Hi there! I'm a beginner baker and recently my work announced a friendly cupcake competition for the end of February. I noticed you're an avid baker, so I was wondering if you had any recommendations/favorites of simple but sweet cupcake recipes? I was definitely aiming for box cake recipes but wasn't sure if you had any baking tips to pass on! Thanks for your time, your blog is always a treat to read!

:O this is EXACTLY the kind of message i didn’t dare hope to see in my inbox

i’m so all about using box cake recipes, their enduring popularity is bc they’re GOOD! i’ve tried my hand at scratch cakes a few times over the years, and they’re just never as good as a box mix

to make box mix cake taste like you spent all day slaving over it:

add an extra egg (a lot of ‘super moist’ box mixes do call for 3 eggs already, i usually stick with the 3!)

replace the called-for water with milk

replace the called-for oil with melted butter and double it

for chocolate cakes, add ½ tsp instant coffee powder (it doesn’t make the cake taste like coffee, but the coffee tannins give the chocolate a richer flavor!)

i know this sounds SUPER decadent, and that’s bc it is c;

whatever mix you use, i think the very best way to make your cupcakes really stand out is by having an awesome frosting!!! here are some of my favorites:

pink champagne buttercream (scale this down, it makes like a thousand cups of frosting)

chocolate whipped cream cream cheese frosting

standard vanilla swiss meringue buttercream, but if you replace the white sugar with brown sugar it tastes just like cookie dough and that’s magical

if you’re a newer baker you probably haven’t made a swiss meringue buttercream before, but if you’re feeling ambitious i’d love for you to try it!! it’s miles ahead of american buttercream in terms of flavor, texture, and ease-of-piping. (i actually find it less labor intensive than ABC to make bc you don’t have to wrestle with mixing a pound of powdered sugar in!) 

cupcake jemma has a great video how to (and check out her archives for baking inspiration)! if you make an SMB for your cupcake contest, honestly 99% chance you will win, it’s that darn good

another way to make your cupcakes The Dopest is to pipe the frosting on instead of spreading with a knife! if you have a ziploc bag and a $2 1M piping tip you can throw some beautiful roses and/or swirls on there and boom your cupcakes are a work of art

I KNOW I JUST TALKED SO MUCH BUT YOU ASKED ME ABOUT DESSERT SO REALLY YOU DID THIS TO YOURSELF??? best of luck in your contest and happy baking!! c:

#disclaimer about the video it makes my brain itch when people separate their egg whites using the egg shell #it's so dirty #please don't do that #use a plastic water bottle as a vacuum to suck the yolks out or get a $3 egg separator i beg you #leah in the kitchen #anonymous #ass box #i know smb doesn't seem simple so i apologize if i come off very strong about it to a new baker hahah #it's just very good but i do not judge you at all if you're not up for it

Instagram ate my tasting notes for this wine, bathtub wine number 2... I've never had a Gaglioppo before, and the 2017 iGreco Savú rosato is made from 100% of this varietal, which seems to be a daughter of Sangiovese and another, as-yet unknown varietal. The wine is an intense dark salmon hue that reminds me of Nebbiolo rosé. On the nose, aromas of pomelo and grapefruit peel intermingle with terracotta, rosehips and raspberry. Palate-wise, I'm surprised at how full-bodied and voluptuous this vintage is in terms of mouthfeel. The acidity is lower than I had expected. Notes of quince, pomelo, blood orange, rosemary, persimmon, and flint round out the palate. The finish doesn't hang around too long, only 20 seconds or so. This is a bigger rose that I honestly think could stand up to pork dishes, and possibly even steak, despite the lack of tannins. You could even pair this with a cigar that uses a corojo wrapper. Personified, I feel like the 2017 2017 iGreco Savú Rosato is a no-nonsense old woman peasant from the rural part of Italy who seems demure at first but can carry about 70 pounds on her back and still beat you at arm wrestling afterwards. She probably also spat at Mussolini once. #rosé #rosado #roséallday #rosébeforebrosé #yeswayrosé #wine #winereviews #wineofinstagram #winesofinstagram #instawine #iGreco #Gaglioppo https://www.instagram.com/p/B9F5nAUHT3a/?igshid=a24iogypn03

It was extremely chilly so changing out of our hiking clothes and into our bathing suits was intense but made that first step in to the hot water even more rewarding.  The water was delightful and I think Stephen would’ve appreciated it because rather than being a stagnant hot tub, which he affectionately calls “people soup”,  the clear and continuously flowing water was warm and just deep enough to cover yourself completely if you were laying down along the pebbly bottom. People had build little rock damns to deepen the water in some places, and depending on if you sat near the edges or the middle of the stream the temperature was titratable to your own personal liking. While we were bathing it actually began to snow, first only a little bit then quit heavily, prolonging our time in the water and decreasing our willingness to get out and endure the 2 mile hike back.  

Eventually it became apparent that the snow wasn’t going to stop and we shouldn’t prolong our departure any more.  I was still impressed by the hikers who continued to come up the mountain and arrive at the springs given the weather, but I’m sure they were a little bit more equipped for rain and snow than we were.

Changing back into my clothes was pretty miserable. Trying to find a way to remain modest by holding a towel up while simultaneously pulling off a wet sticky swimsuit and wrestling hiking clothes onto damp skin, all the time guarding from the wind and the snow that was coming down increasingly thickly was a challenge. As was keeping our wet gear separate from our other belongings, which had stayed somewhat dry shoved under a bench and covered with a rain coat.

Finally we were on our way, me bundled up in my plastic yellow raincoat trying to keep the strings tied around my face to block the wind and snow. My vision behind steamy, snow melty glasses was nonexistent so I hiked the way without them. My hands were in leather gloves that quickly began to disintegrate, leaving tannins all over my fingers and dying them bright rust colored. The gloves unfortunately did not survive the hike, but we did, although the weather prevented pictures on the way down to prove it.  

It was a quiet descent, one that we tried to make quickly but we were still passed by other people, mostly single hikers running the whole way down, to make it back to the parking lot as fast as possible. We eventually did make it to the bottom and were soaked and frigid -  the kind of cold when your jeans feel like they’re frozen onto your legs and your fingers don’t work properly. It took twice as long as it should have to take turns changing in the car into dry clothes because doing up zippers and buttons without proper mental control over your fingers is a difficult task. Despite the non ideal weather, I don’t regret the hike. It was an adventure reminiscent of another stormy, ill dressed hike I took in the Andes in Peru. The hike was far more beautiful, strenuous and rewarding than I had anticipated and yet again Iceland exceeded expectations based on what I saw on the Internet.

After our hike we blasted the heat in the car, thawed our fingers, and finally headed back towards Reykjavík for the rest of our trip.

May 4, supplemental

Time: Who even knows

Mood: A Vaguery

I wish to taste the sea, read the wind, and fuck the moon. Most of all, I wish to hibernate until I am home for the summer. I wish to snort Labrador tea and huff those vistas of Denali to which I will no doubt be able to avail myself at home.

I wish, like Jacob, to wrestle an angel and to paint my sheep with willow sauce. I am almost a hundred per cent certain that was Jacob. It’s been a long time. 

I wish to suck the light from the crests of waves and to chew tannins from the Chena. I want to allow the sun to scratch my body with its rays and to create shade for me to lay in.

I am so ready to donate blood to shells of mosquito eggs. To dissolve into the world around me piece by piece. To feel the burning cold of the lakes and streams. The early gold of the sourdoughs’ dreams. 

I want to gorge myself on unripe rhubarb and shit myself off of this mortal coil in my last few desperate hours. Whether ‘tis nobler to intentionally consume an inedible and poisonous substance than to take up arms against United and by opposing, end them? To soak in the blood of those who conspire to keep me from my homeland, or to accept my fate and in fact hasten it? To let a mouthful of lupine finish the job it started so many years ago? 

I will have vengeance. I will have salvation. I will smoke the snot out of a tundra rose. I will snort the seeds of the hip and chew the petals like so much coca. I will be high on the very wilderness. Bake Tanana river silt into an edible and savour the grit between my teeth. Treat Alaska like a Schedule 1 state. The feds are gonna shut down the whole operation that is my journey home. They cancelled my flight to Chicago because they know the lascivious, illicit things I’m going to do to my home state once I get there. 

Gross. This is, I hope, profoundly upsetting to all of you, dear readers. Ralph. Whatever. If you have any questions, or if you want me to know how you’re going to put me in solitary for the next five decades for non-violent possession of Alaskan dirt, my ask box is open. And as I always say, Stay Frosty.

Beer and Bacon Pairing Night with The Lost Abbey & Port Brewing at Toronado

5 Port Brewing/ Lost Abbey paired with 5 house made Bacons! Lost Abbey Deliverance A blend of bourbon barrel-aged Serpent’s Stout and brandy barrel-aged Angels Share, Deliverance is the epic battle being waged between heaven and hell for the souls of mortal men… and your enjoyment in a glass. AROMA The expressive fight for souls on earth begins with molasses and raisins clashing for supremacy. There’s a struggle between licorice and caramel to see which will support with a dash of cocoa exuding as well. TASTE A lively beer on the palette wrestling in a tug of war of sorts for your affection. At first there is booze. Then there are figgy notes with a semi-sweet edge that almost develops were it not for the bakers chocolate and bitterness that balances out in the finish. Clearly this is not a beer for the faint of heart or weakened souls. This is fortuitous beer to accompany you on your journey to heaven or hell should you be delivered. ABV: 13.5% Cuvee De Tomme A massive brown ale base that is made from four fermentable sugars including Malted Barley, Raisins, Candi Sugar and Sour Cherries, this beer is fully fermented before being placed in Bourbon barrels where the beer ages for one year with the Sour Cherries and the wild Brettanomyces yeast that we inoculate the barrels with. One of the most complex and unique beers we make each year. AROMA Cuvee starts with a complex nose of tart cherries, vanilla and dusty cocoa finish. There is also an underlying basis of yeast esters and wild yeast components that result in an extraordinary complex nose. TASTE As this beer is made from our Judgment Day, there are some similarities in the taste profile. However, as this beer is aged in Oak Barrels, there are also additional layers of Vanilla, Tannins and Sourness from the Cherries and the secondary fermentation and extensive aging. ABV: 11% Red Poppy Perhaps no country embraces the use of fruit in beers more so than Belgium. Numerous traditional as well as regional specialty ales are infused with every sort of fruit imaginable. In this way, the flavor of the fruit becomes especially prominent. Red Poppy Ale is a veritable celebration of Sour Cherries in an explosion of aromas and tastes. Brewed from a brown ale base and aged in our oak barrels for over 12 months, this beer is not for the faint of heart. The Golden Poppy is the state flower of California and the Red Poppy is found in Flanders Fields where our inspiration for this beer comes from. This beer is 6.5% ABV and is available in 375 ml bottles and on draft at inspired locations. AROMA Red Poppy starts with a complex nose of tart cherries, vanilla and cinnamon like finish. There is also an underlying basis of yeast esters and wild yeast components that result in an extraordinary complex nose. TASTE Red Poppy starts its life out as our Dawn Patrol Dark. Post primary fermentation, we blend this with some of our Amigo Lager at transfer to barrel. During the fermentation in the barrel from the micro organisms, we gain acidity which results in a beer with hints of Vanilla, Tannins and Sourness from the Cherries and the secondary fermentation and extensive aging. ABV: Barrels Used: 6.5% French Oak Port Brewing Anniversary IPA Our massively hopped strong IPA brewed in celebration of our Anniversary each year. Using Amarillo, CTZ, Citra, Centennial, and Mosaic hops and dry-hopping with CTZ, Citra, and Mosaic, Anniversary Ale has an intensely hoppy body with fresh tones of pine and citrus. A seasonal release that will satisfy any hop-head who has the pleasure to try it. In addition, we don’t want to make people “wait in line” to try an amazing IPA, so we also bottle it! HopsAmarillo, CTZ, Citra, Centennila, Mosaic ABV10.5% Summer Pale Ale (SPA) is our version of the iconic West Coast style Pale Ale. Life’s better at the water’s edge. Be it a beach, a lake, or a sweltering day by the pool. Each of these situations is improved by friends, conversations, and a crisp pale ale. Our SPA is brewed with a juicy and boisterous blend of hops including Chinook, Amarillo, and Cascade. SPA begins with a bouquet of citrus and peach aromas, then leads to a refreshing orange and grapefruit-like dryness, with just a kiss of sweetness on the finish. AROMA: A largely citric and piney blast of hop aromas greet you. Resinous qualities of fresh leaf hops abound and really drive the aroma of this beer. TASTE: Your first sip will awake your taste buds with some spicy hop qualities. The finish of the beer is quite dry which allows the hop flavor and intensity to build. Your next sip will confirm these flavors are large and in charge of this beer.

Diets are summer or how to lose weight by summer

 Summer diet for 7 days:

 Diets are summer or how to lose weight by summer?

 This is an important question.

 Summer is a good time for losing weight and improving the body .  In summer, many fresh berries, vegetables, which contain a lot of fiber, vitamins, trace elements, other useful substances .

 How do we lose weight in the summer ?  Due to vegetables and fruits that have a low calorie content.

 Some vegetables have a negative calorie content, i.e.  About the organization will spend on their processing more calories than it has acquired their use (cabbage, celery).  Also, owls take up a larger volume in the stomach, remove the feeling of hunger, contain a lot of insoluble fiber ( not cleavable in the body), which stimulates the secretion of digestive juices, which improves intestinal motility , which does not allow fat to be absorbed completely .

Dragons of Geesta #2 - Snakes in the Bath

The party wakes up and prepares for their baths. Sollux “pre-washes”, prompting some OOC discussion about cleaning yourself before presenting yourself, naked, in front of your friends that ends with all characters pre-washing. Except for Tannin, who simply takes a bath in their room.

So, an introduction to the PC’s:

Brimmun “Jibbers” the Pirate, lvl 2 Half-Gnome, Half-Dwarf Monk who left his family to sail the seven seas. He’s only just returned. He and Garrum are brothers

Garrum, lvl 2 Half-Gnome, Half-Dwarf fighter who isn’t very smart. He is very protective of his brother, Jibbers

El Gallo Rojo, lvl 2 human luchador who believes in honor

Solluxander Seamus Abraxas, lvl 2 tiefling wizard and brother of Tannin, as played by myself

Tannin Abraxas, lvl 2 tiefling rogue and sibling of Sollux, as played by @the-pantsing-panda

Rohl Eigh, lvl 2 bard

The party is led to the bathhouse, where they are forced to choose between going into the Men’s room or the Women’s. Tannin, of course, chooses, instead, breakfast. El Gallo joins them.

Sollux and Jibbers head towards the men’s room. Garrum tries to push Rohl Eigh into the bathroom and fails. Rohl then tries to push Garrum in, and fails so hard, he winds up going into the women’s room. He is slapped by a woman trying to bathe, while Garrum runs into the men’s room. 

Rohl Eigh eventually joins the party, and Garrum pretends he doesn’t know what happened. As Rohl undresses to bathe, his player rolls a natural 20 for looking amazing naked. Sollux’s gay ass falls head over heels in love, and spends the remainder of the bath looking away everytime Rohl starts to glance in his direction, and sitting where the water falls just below his upper lip.

Garrum and Jibber have a heart-to-heart, revealing that this is the first time since Jibbers came back from the sea that they’ve been able to even talk to each other. Garrum tries to catch Jibbers up on the family, but suddenly falls asleep, his head swinging back safely. 

Rohl Eigh notices some snakes coming out of the walls and alerts the others. 

Jibbers “fists” one of the snakes, while Sollux calmly starts to carry one of them outside. More snakes begins to appear from a crack in the wall, and Jibbers tips over a cabinet to block them. At this, Garrum awakens. He tries to blame Rohl Eigh, who uses dissonant whispers on him and sends him running to the corner, crying.

During the course of the battle, the DM makes sure we know that Jibbers and Rohl Eigh are bitten. He puts a very special emphasis on this, even as he reassures us -- there is no poison.

Sollux and Rohl Eigh get dressed and begin to walk the surviving snake outside -- Sollux low-key flirting the whole way. Jibbers finishes his bath. Garrum shakes in the corner.

Rohl decides to peek in the women’s room and see if the woman is alright. He notices a much smaller crack in the wall. Jibbers catches up with him and theorizes a peeping tom. He tries to convince them to smash open the walls, but fails.

Sollux, meanwhile, has realized that no one else in the inn. No one at all. 

While they’re doing this, Tannin and El Gallo bond over breakfast. Their conversation is mostly lost, as they are literally conversing the same time we’re engaged in battle. Eventually, though, breakfast ends. Tannin and El Gallo meet up with Sollux just as Sollux is creeping around to the front of the inn, and notice the purple snake. Tannin goes to help the others, but El Gallo stays.

Sollux removes the gold band around the Snake’s neck and notes that it was embedded in the snake’s skin. Sollux and El Gallo take turns trying to tame “Jonny”, but El Gallo winds up making it angry. Jonny bites Sollux and latches on. Sollux realizes he won’t be getting a new pet, so he heads to put Jonny outside. He stops in the lobby, though, noticing there is literally nobody. 

The others get dressed and join Sollux, who still has the snake attached to his left breast. They all investigate, finding nothing. Tannin decides to steal from them for their shitty customer service. Unfortunately, the box breaks their lockpick -- so they break the box by slamming it into the counter until it breaks. Jibbers and Rohl tell Tannin to leave some money, so they reluctantly leave behind 10gp. Sollux asks Tannin to go get “The Cat” -- which is codeword for their pet mouse.

Tannin agrees. The party goes outside, so Tannin takes the opportunity to re-pocket the 10gp. 

Meanwhile, the party heads outside and is greeted by the disquieting sight of an imp standing across the road. Sollux refuses to move closer, sensing pending annoyance. The gnomes, less versed in the ways of imps, move forward. El Gallo is distracted by a dire pigeon, which, in turn, distracts Tannin as they re-join the group.

The imp introduces himself as Tinkle Dinklepinkle, and promises he has wares if they have coin. He offers them a gold plated sword, gold plated armor, a gold plated potion, some gold plated poison, and sleeping drought. Why would he ruin a perfectly good sleeping drought by coating it in gold?

El Gallo is investigating the pigeon when it poops on his mask. Feeling disrespected, El Gallo fails his first attempt at wrestling it. The pigeon begins to fly away to Tannin’s mocking laughter, so El Gallo chucks a die from his bag. He strikes the pigeon perfectly, causing it to start to fall. El Gallo catches the pigeon, then suplexes it, breaking it’s tiny neck. As a victory dance, El Gallo tosses the pigeon over the roof of the inn.

Rohl Eigh notices that Tinkle has snakes for feet -- and is somehow, the only one of them to do so. He also notes that Tinkle’s snakes are purple. Rohl Eigh points this out, so Jibbers tries to ask Tinkle about it. He gestures to Jonny, but Sollux has literally just released Jonny into a patch of grass. Tinkle admits his feet do not look like Sollux. 

The conversation with Tinkle takes over. Sollux rolls his eyes and joins the gnomes and Rohl Eigh. El Gallo and Tannin soon do as well. Unlike Sollux, however, Tannin grows bored and leaves, while Sollux tries to assist them.

Tinkle offers to play a game and provide them with a riddle. The game is two truths and one lie, and no matter how much Sollux flirts with him, Tinkle does not relent and reveal which one is which. Neverless, he reveals three things: A woman with beautiful hair bought a poison but was giving a sleeping drought (hee hee); his wares are poor quality shit covered in gold (hee hee); and the King Tovak is dead (hee hee hee).

The party argue for literally 30 minutes trying to determine which is a lie. Sollux believes they would have heard if Tovak is dead, and Garrum seconds that opinion. Jibbers believes the woman wasn’t trying to poison them since she sicced snakes on them, and El Gallo seconds this notion. Rohl Eigh agrees with both.

The riddle was:

Beware, beware A woman with beautiful hair Beware, beware The cubs are always near the bear  Beward, beware ((completely forgot this last line)) 

Tinkle disappears and a pageboy appears, summoning them to the Mayor’s personal estate. Sollux, Tannin, El Gallo and Jibbers go back into the inn to see if they can find out what happened, armed with the knowledge of Tinkle’s matching feet. Rohl Eigh and Garrum head to the mayor. 

Jibbers asks someone stronger to break open the wall. With a cackle, Sollux sets the wall aflame, revealing his pyromania. They investigate the cinders and realize that the snakes must have manifested from inside the wall. They all leave. It’s only halfway to the mayor’s house that Jibbers asks if they doused the flames. 

They didn’t.

The mayor informs them that the town next to theirs has been silent for a week, and asks them to go investigate. Sollux, with aid from his allies, informs the mayor that Tinkle burned down the inn in an attempt to murder them. El Gallo reveals he murdered a pigeon, which turns out to be Barbara, the Mayor’s beloved pet. Tannin talks the mayor back into a calm state of mind and they accept the quest.

The party goes back to the inn to collect Barbara’s corpse, only to find the townspeople trying to save the inn. They pluck a charred corpse from the roof and El Gallo realizes it’s a small snack, not the dire pigeon he so heartlessly murdered. Sollux has an idea and goes to ask the townsfolk if they’ve seen Torley Black -- the woman introduced them as having beautiful hair, and no other description except she’s a gorgeous elf. Rohl Eigh then uses his criminal contact to locate a fellow guildsman and bribe him into spying on Torley.

The party stocks up and head out, choosing to complete the mayor’s mission, and hoping to find evidence of foul play.

Bass Fishing Printable Version - Share on Facebook - Posted by Dion Todd 4 hours ago - Filed in Devotional - 1,283 views Let no man say when he is tempted, 'I am tempted by God,' for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.' James 1:13 WEB I had spent a quiet morning in my boat on the Waccamaw river, fishing and listening to the Bible. The water of the Waccamaw is black as coffee. The color comes from the tannins released by the surrounding tree roots and vegetation. They color the water like tea leaves. The white sandy bottom gives it a dark reddish tint in the shallows, and the narrow upper parts make for a beautiful, serene environment. You rarely see anyone else during the week, and it is a great place to be alone. I was laid off from work and on the last week of my unemployment. Sometimes I would spend the early morning fishing and praying, then the afternoons looking for work. This particular morning, I had been fishing hard, but had caught nothing. It was almost noon, and I decided to cast my line one more time, then head back to the boat landing empty handed. I paddled my boat right up to the mouth of Simpson Creek and made one last cast. Soon after my plastic worm sank into the black water, I felt a slight bump on the line. I thought it might have bumped a log, but just in case, I took the slack out of the line and yanked back on the rod to set the hook. Whatever was on the other end did not budge at all. The rod just bent double and I thought the line was hung. Then... slowly it started moving off to the right. I began to reel it in and soon a seven and a half pound large mouth bass danced by the boat on its tail. My heart was racing. It was the first fish that I could pull against as hard as I could, and it didn't seem to matter. I had to wear it down. I fought with it for a long time before it finally gave up, and I wrestled him into the boat. All morning I had cast lures in front of fish, but they would not bite. My lure wasn't tempting for they were not hungry for what I was offering them. Finally I found one that was, and I caught him. He passionately went after the bait, hook, line and sinker. In this case, it was a five-inch black plastic worm, and the fish deeply desired to have it. James made it clear that nothing outside of you tempts you; it is what is already inside of you that is hungry. Everyone has a different appetite as well. Eve wanted the forbidden fruit. Sex, drugs, pornography, money, eating, drinking and a million other things, are not the root of the problem. The problem is that the fish is hungry for it. See money in itself is not evil, but the 'love of money' is. That is the insatiable desire for more of it. Anyone that has been addicted to something can confirm this 'longing for more.' God can take away bad desires. At one time I enjoyed smoking. Now smoke makes me nauseous and It is no longer a temptation for me to be around it. If you are drawn to something like this, pray for the Lord to deliver you from it. When the hunger is gone, it will no longer tempt you, even if it appears right in front of you like a lure before a fish. If the fish is not hungry, they will not bite. Prayer: Heavenly Father, please remove the desires from me that are not right and deliver me from things that drag me down each time. I want to serve You with my whole heart, but there are things in me that do not. Help my desires to line up with Yours, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.

Hey WWT!

Would you ever be interested in a Shabbat or weekday service that didn’t include our virtual slides? Although we will absolutely still include special services moving forward with a cantorial student and our slides, these services technologically would be a bit simpler. We would use the standard American Reform prayer book which can be found online.

This sort of format would allow us to offer more Tefilla opportunities - and allow us to mix things up on occasion.

Thoughts?

Close Up Of Gorilla Youngster Trying To Pull Out His Loose Baby Tooth fairy

A bit of caution as this video includes many close up shots of the loose tooth and it might not be for everybody, but nothing we haven’t all been through! :-) This is the long detailed version of the day when Lope has a loose baby tooth. As soon as I got to Twycross Zoo, Lope was playing with his loose tooth, obviously trying to get it out. He gives it a good wiggle, but it’s staying put. If anybody wonders why he has a black tongue, apparently it’s because of the food he eats. It is because of something called tannins which is present in many plant foods. He keeps biting the fire hose and beating his chest at mum Ozala, with little Shufai sitting by her site suckling (haven’t seen him do that for a while). Even though with his tooth ache, he still takes a grab for his little brother, but mum is quick to intervene. Don’t jump when you see Lope licking the wooden pole, as Asante came running and jumping over the pole given Lope and mum a bit of a wtf did just happen. :-) Lope seems to love licking things, like he wants to get rid of the taste of the blood from his tooth. Just like humans, you just can’t stop playing with the tooth. Ozala brings some comfort when Lope is lying there starting to lick his face. He first enjoys the attention he’s getting, but then when it gets too much he has a wrestle with mum instead. At this point he still seem to have his tooth. In the earlier video, you can see Lope losing his tooth after biting the hose and wrestling with mum, so I’m not quite sure what made him lose it in the end, the biting or the wrestling.

Hey WWT!

As you know, I’m constantly dreaming up what the future of WWT might look like and imagining and re-imagining how you can be a part of innovative, meaningful, and transformative programming connecting you with Wrestlers all around the world.  And with that spirit, I have a question.

How would you feel if we began to offer classes and experiences from other student cantors, student rabbis, and from Jewish Educators-in-training?  It would diversify the offerings at WWT with different perspectives and new experiences.  This of course would be in addition to classes and experiences taught by Rachel and myself.
