British and Irish Lions: Jonathan Davies looks forward to Ben Te'o link-up
- From the section Welsh Rugby
Wales centre Jonathan Davies hopes his potential British and Irish Lions Test partnership with Ben Te'o goes the distance against the Maori All Blacks.
Davies, who failed a head injury assessment in the 12-3 win over the Crusaders, has been given the all clear to return to action on Saturday.
He hopes the pair can take their claim for the first Test against New Zealand.
"I have enjoyed working with him and hopefully we can play a full game," said Davies.
England centre Te'o has looked impressive in his first two Lions starts of the tour, against the Provincial Barbarians and the Crusaders.
Davies also started against the Crusaders but had to leave field after he failed the HIA.
"The week leading up to the Crusaders game was good and we have another crack of the whip on Saturday," said Davies.
"It's all about forming a partnership as quickly as you can.
"He (Te'o) is very strong with the ball in hand and he gets his hands free. For me it's about trying to get on the end of some offloads.
"In defence he is very strong and a good talker which is one of the big things."
In contrast to Te'o, Davies has managed less than 30 minutes of action on tour after arriving in New Zealand full of confidence following the Scarlets' Pro12 title success.
"Personally it is hugely frustrating the amount of game time I have played," Davies added.
"I would have liked to have played a lot more but it's how you react and prepare for the next game.
"I feel pretty confident. I came over here in a good place and was reasonably happy with my game.
"The step up to this tour is huge so you can't rest on the form you had and I knew it was going to be much harder.
"I am just looking forward to getting back on the field."
The tourists face the world champions in the first Test in Auckland on Saturday, 24 June.
'Play to my strenghts'
The Lions have only managed five tries in three games but Davies believes the attacking gameplan under Warren Gatland and Rob Howley will emerge.
"It doesn't help when you get a lot of errors in our games with the backs. A couple of knock-ons and passes not going to hand stops dead the attack," Davies said.
"If we get some fluidity and accuracy with the ball in hand we have shown we can create problems for these teams.
"But it's about making sure we don't give up possession and give teams the opportunity to have the ball back.
"I want to play to my strengths and make sure when we get the ball we are accurate and use the athletes we have behind.
"We have got the likes of George North and Anthony Watson and we have to make sure the ball goes to them in space."

While the Pittsburgh Steelers players were out autographing copies of the team�s Super Bowl DVD, the front office was busy trying to figure out what signatures can keep the team on top.
Every other NFL team would love to be in the Steelers� situation, working from a championship season.
But the Steelers have to take care that the title doesn�t provide a whitewash for the weaknesses that need to be addressed.
You can look at any position and say, �It was good enough to win a Super Bowl,� but that may be misleading.
In some cases, it�s more like, �It didn�t prevent us from winning a Super Bowl.�
Take punter Mitch Berger. Please.
OK, he was only there on an emergency basis after Daniel Sepulveda was injured in training camp. The Steelers cut Berger during the season, then brought him back when his replacement was even worse.
They spent the rest of the season oxygen deprived, because they held their breath on every punt, never sure what might happen.
Berger�s not an issue, of course. He�ll collect his ring and move on, while Sepulveda will be back to claim the position.
But there are other spots on the field (offensive line, for example), where the Steelers can�t be lulled into thinking they�re good enough.
They may have gotten away with it last year, but there�s no guarantee that will continue.
The wheels on the 2009 season started spinning long before the commemorative championship DVDs did.
The thought process behind the Pittsburgh Penguins� big trade was pretty elementary:
Identify a surplus, and trade it for a need.
That�s why defenseman Ryan Whitney was packing his bags for Anaheim, traded for forwards Chris Kunitz and Eric Tangradi.
With Sergei Gonchar back from his shoulder injury, the Penguins have an offensive defenseman who�s more skilled than Whitney.
They have Kris Letang here and Alex Goligoski at Wilkes Barre to provide depth in that role.
Whitney had been back in the lineup for two months following a two-month absence because of foot surgery.
His game never recovered, and his confidence sagged.
When the Ducks were ready to offer a couple of forwards � including Kunitz, who immediately became one of the Penguins� top six � it was time for general manager Ray Shero to act.
Good luck trying to project what might happen to the Penguins over the last six weeks.
They�re so inconsistent, anything is possible. Two nights after struggling to beat the New York Islanders at home, they earned two points with an overtime win in Chicago.
They also have eight straight home games later this month.
New Pirates announcer Tim Neverett passed his first big test on his debut broadcast.
He offered no Presidential trivia.

mk, 15 Oct 2009The camera is NOT 3 MP, it is 2 MP, but it makes bigger pic with software.You talk crap
cat, 18 Oct 2009guys, help me... i have this model for 2 weeks now. i tried yesterday to buy memory card(m2).... moreYou need to format the memory card. Go to File Manager press options then format card.
guys, help me...
i have this model for 2 weeks now. i tried yesterday to buy memory card(m2). when we inserted a couple of m2, the brand i think is not authentic(not, Sandisk, Team or other superior ones), it did not recognize them.when i tried to capture an image, the screen still shows the message "memory card not available"...y is dat so?when they inserted the same m2 to a 2nd hand k800i, it worked.is there really a factory defect in my c510 or it is just selective(non-authentic or cheap m2s wont work on it)?...please help...
heyy ........ in the pics posted by the site ....... in the fifth pic the menu interface is a little different .................. how to do that ?? thanks in advance
C510i is the best phone around its range on ervery aspect. but, some modles may hav efaulty camera so, keep that in the mind & get it checked while buying the c510i handset.
But it is the best.....BEST.
dick, 17 Oct 2009may i know between C901,C902,G900 and C510 which are the best??G900 = business phone with wifi and touchscreen. 5mp is below par however. Not very reliable as there's many cases of hangs and crashes.
C902 = laggy phone. reasonable 5mp camera though.
C901 = one of the best 5mp camera on a phone. (should think it's better than C902's camera) it has xenon flash. however imo, the looks ain't very impressive.
C510 = simple phone with good looks. 3.2mp camera does ok, except for in low light condition. Basically you get almost the same functions as C901 and C902, save for the 3.2mp camera.
To me, G900 and C902 is out. Choose b/w C510 and C901 depending on your budget, need for good camera and looks.
where i can buy this kind of cellphone . i was wondering if i can buy this in an cheaper price
Hi everyone, I've been following your comments on sonyc510 and finally decide to buy it a week ago. This is my first Sony ericsson fone, and even though I'm a fan of Nokia, I have to admit, this is a really good fone.
Plus (+++++)
1. I got it for only $160 (AUS dollar) lock with virgin(can be unlocked) and received a free sim card which has $150 worth of credit and 20Mb download data.
2. The advertisements only shows the fone in grey and black, but actually, the fone is also available in white with impressive red strips and red buttons.The design of the phone is very young and smart which I believe suitable for young people.
3. The fone has many fuctions, it takes good quality pictures where there's enough lights.
4. it plays good quality music, the speaker is good, too.
5. the battery last for average of 4 days.
6. It has large & sharp screen that I sometimes use as a mirror, it also has google map, short- cut key pad, notes, converter, track id and much much more..
Minus (---)
Ok, so the fone has some minus points:
1. THe quality of the camera when there's not enough lights is very,very poor.
2. You can't use the same image quality to zoom while taking pictures (only available in lower quality)
3. Can't take good pictures of fast-moving objects
4. Video quality is just ok.

, With the se c510,I can do all basic things such as call, text, take pictures, listen to music,surf internet, check mail, facebook, etc.For just $160 (and got $150 worth of credit),I believe the fone is affordable, has great functions and great design. Overall, I'm very happy with this phone and would rate it 8.5/10
Manu Patil, 15 Oct 2009May i know how you have changed that search to contacts..Modding. I don't want to lead you on but modding a phone is a tricky business. You may end up ruining it. But if your still interested, go to se-nse.com. Search modding.
When you get the hang of it, it's really fun. Now i'm leading you on. Hehehe. (Hope gsmarena could allow us to use some smilies/emoticons.)
Raj, 15 Oct 2009Don't buy this mobile...NO Zoom is there in 1,2,3 Maga pixel...it only zooms in VGA....Camera ... moreWhy use zoom? This phone don't have optical zooming. Digital zooming only ruins the photo. It's like your just cropping a part of the photo then zooming it to 3.2 mp. With 3.2 mp resolution, zooming only reveals the fact that the photo don't have enough details. Try this. Zoom your pics on your computer. The more you zoom, the 'uglier' it gets.
jhelia, 15 Oct 2009can anyone tell me how to insert contacts in the texting area?and how can I install mi interne... moreCreate your message, then press Continue, then select Enter phone number. It's very easy really. As for your internet settings, contact your network provider and ask for one.
mk, 15 Oct 2009The camera is NOT 3 MP, it is 2 MP, but it makes bigger pic with software.You may be right. Pixel's getting bigger and the sensor's getting smaller. C510 can't take pictures on fast moving objects. All ends up blurry photos.
SE FAN, 15 Oct 2009Which headset is come with this package? A crappy HPM-60. I did not bother using it. I threw it away.
The camera is NOT 3 MP, it is 2 MP, but it makes bigger pic with software.
i have 3 days old c510. .and its's looking good! the only main problem is the camera at night.

I recently visited One Colorado Artist Studio in Pasadena featuring Artist in Residence Gregory Michael Hernandez and his exhibition titled "A Bridge Between Landscapes." Amidst the impressive and convincing hybrid forms, interactive environment, and beautiful images generating metaphorical flights of fancy sits a ping pong table. Why is this object so arresting and compelling? Is it installation sculpture so ordinary that it triggers queries of a profound nature? Is it simply a playful work station? Is it a respite of recreational distraction from the intensity of the surrounding images requiring viewers to pay critical attention? I wonder if it actually is an alter that summons us to a place of hospitality and generosity? Hernandez's creations are not devotional or doctrinal in any formal ecclesiastical way. His work is theological in its sublime gesturing toward questions of ultimacy and offering visual gifts to the art lover with a sustained gaze. The ping pong table is a dynamic piece that calls and convenes in its centered placement. It simultaneously encourages return trips to the curated walls that encase it. Sacred Space in a vernacular place!
Last year Sister Rose Pacatte, FSP, interviewed me at the intersection of Florence and Normandie, the flash point for the civil unrest following the acquittal of Los Angeles police officers in the beating of Rodney King. The story of my annual pilgrimage to this place was published in the National Catholic Reporter: Urban Mystic at the Crossroads.
This seven-minute video, edited by Chris Gipson, is an outtake from the interview. Many thanks to Chris, Srs. Rose and Tracey, and the board of Culture Connection that made this possible as we approach the 19th anniversary of this pivotal event in the life of Los Angeles.

Post-screening discussion: Scott Young
It has been nearly ten years ago that Kevin Smith's movie "Dogma" generated a whole lot of heated reaction and added incendiary material to the fires of the culture wars. "Dogma" premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May, 1999 and was released by Lionsgate Entertainment in mid-fall of 1999. Mel Gibson's film "The Passion of the Christ" (2004) is most frequently credited with triggering the upsurge in interest in religion and film. I think a strong case can be made that "Dogma" contributed to the cultural discussion about movies and spirituality that supersedes "The Passion's" influence. No doubt "The Passion" engineered a commercial interest way beyond "Dogma" but Kevin Smith made a movie that still invokes a spirited debate because the culture war is a protracted war. There seems to be no timetable as to when the cultural combatants can exit the conflict. "Dogma" raises critical questions about the utility of such a conflagration.
In the Spring of 2000, I conducted an interview/conversation with Craig Detweiler (see Purple State of Mind.) I am re-presenting parts of that dialogue which remains pertinent for today.
Craig Detweiler (CD): To me Dogma is a theological comic book. It has its own mythology, its own back story that informs the angels, devils, muses and all these supernatural, other worldly characters which are roaming about. Smith's format is perfect for a generation raised on comic books. The film is niched for a younger generation struggling with questions of faith and culture, faith and art and the search for God. The older protesting generation either forgot when they went through that phase or have gotten beyond those questions or they're offended by the way the questions are posed and processed.
Scott Young (SY): I like that point, and I'll mention that Ella Taylor, in her review for the LA Weekly, made comments similar to yours. She said, "Dogma has all the gruesome cheek of a carton for the under-twenties." Would you say, though, that Smith's film, which certainly resonates more with Generation X, doesn't exclude any generation who wants to join in on the fun?
CD: Not at all. He has raised every theological question that he has ever had. He finds a scene or a character to deal with everything. There are all kinds of unexplained phenomenon and doubts and creeds that probably never made sense to him as a person. They are all dealt with in one way, shape, or form.
SY: It's kind of a theological vomit.
CD: Exactly. Some probably find it resentful vomit because there's a lot of talking. It's a very talkie film about big ideas.
SY: It's talkie, but would you say that it's preachy in any way?
CD: No, because I think the filmmaker's voice keeps shifting. You can't really tell who is speaking for him and what is really trying to communicate until the last five or ten minutes, which I think are ten of the most beautiful, poetic, profound minutes of film that I have ever seen. It's one of the sweetest, most tender portraits of God, and in this case, her grace that I have ever seen on screen. You have foul-mouthed characters being embraced and hugged and obliterated all at the same time by a very playful, loving God that when asked a direct question just tweaks somebody's nose and considers that a sufficient answer.
SY: I agree with you. It is a rather profound moment in film. Film critic Robert Horton says, "So, while the majority of Smith's characters constitute the chattiest group in movies today, the people with the greatest wisdom are the two who barely open their mouths." Of course, that's "God" played by Alanis Morissette and "Silent Bob" played by Kevin Smith himself. Dogma operates on a lot of different levels. That's one of the greatest features of the film. It's multi-dimensional in all kinds of ways. But it seems to me that the thing Smith is attempting is an artistic treatise on idolatry: taking beliefs and elevating them higher than God, Himself, which is again back to the last ten minutes of the film.
CD: I think Kevin Smith is saying, let's put the culture wars behind us. Where has it gotten us? It's gotten us a lot of anger, a lot of heat and a lot of division. Nobody has drawn closer to God. Nobody is drawing closer to faith as a result of fighting and arguing. Let's just try the ideas for a change. It doesn't mean that we are wishy-washy about those ideas. It's just that we believe in living our faith instead of arguing our faith.
SY: Smith seems to be raising an art form in the film and that's dialoguing or maybe I should call it spirited discussion, which is a whole other way of dealing with ideas than getting two entrenched opponents and giving them heavy artillery and then seeing who comes out the winner. So instead of culture wars, we are back to cultural debate.

Chapter 144 – His Highness Prince Jin (2)
With such a large commotion, how could the senior provincial officer not know? He would definitely dispatch troops over at the fastest speed.
Ling Feng looked at the disorderly surroundings. Mutilated corpses were wildly strewn about the place, it was indeed unsuitable for His Highness's recuperation. He nodded and said: "Indeed, considering that His Highness is still very weak at present, there's no need to meet with those outsiders."
Ling Feng carefully helped Nangong Liuyun onto the Dragon Scaled Horse carriage, before allowing Su Luo to get on board. Then he personally drove the Dragon Scaled Horse carriage towards a completely different direction in a rush.
His Highness Prince Jin had numerous assets. Even in this city alone, he had no less than three estates.
After about the length of time needed to burn a stick of incense, the Dragon Scaled Horse stopped at the entrance of a hot spring villa.
Magnificent Mountain Villa.
Built on the hillside, its courtyard was secluded and quiet.
Within the mountain villa was a lake, although very small, it was crystal clear upon viewing.
Ivy was sprawled all over its shores, dense and flourishing, appearing very fresh and delightful to the eye. There were rock garden made of piled up stones which possessed a natural charm.
Beside the lake, built near the water, was a loft, actually enshrouded in dense and hazy mist. Nestled between centuries-old trees and obscured by fog, it's faintly discernible appearance was fairytale-like.
Su Luo entered, following behind Ling Feng.
The strange thing was, they had encountered not even a single person along the way here.
Opening the doors of that hazy loft, what appeared before Su Luo's eyes was an inner chamber as wide as a temple hall.
Within the huge inner chamber, mist floated about due to the dense heat, with white ivory screen made from elephant tusk to separate the inside and outside.
Walking around to behind the screen, Su Luo was inevitably surprised, secretly praising: Nangong Liuyun indeed lived up to his name! Such great expenditure! Such extravagant comfort!
That nearly hundred square meters bath actually was made from white jade tiles, and it could be seen at a glance that the water came from a hot spring, giving off waves of heat, tempting people to submerge and swim in it.
Each of those descending steps, were actually made of rare suet white jade! Not any other kind of green or yellow jade, but the really, really rare suet white jade!
Su Luo secretly became speechless!
In her previous world, just a small piece of suet white jade was already worth thousands of millions, yet here, Nangong Liuyun had actually used it to tile the stairs and step on it.
What kind of feet were his? Really, this was too, too extravagant! Even the sophisticated Su Luo could not help shaking her head.
Ling Feng placed Nangong Liuyun beside the hot spring and turned to Su Luo, looking stern before he spoke seriously: "It is now up to you to care for His Highness!" With that said, he coldly glared at Su Luo and turned to leave.
Su Luo was just about to agree when her mind suddenly jolted – eh, something's not right!
If it was anywhere else, it would still be fine, yet what location was this? Hot springs! A single man and woman sharing a bath, something was definitely not right!
Su Luo loudly shouted at him: "Stop where you are, Ling Feng! Just where are you going?"
In any case, Ling Feng should remain here, should he not? If not… … Su Luo glanced at the unconscious and faintly breathing Nangong Liuyun. Although his weak breaths made him seem rather harmless, somehow, she still not dared to think of sharing the same room with him.
Ling Feng paused and glanced at Nangong Liuyun with a complicated expression. Yet, when he turned his gaze to Su Luo, his icy tone allowed no refusal as he aggressively asked: "The Fourth Miss Su, may I ask if the reason why His Highness went to Sunset Mountains, was it not for you?"
"… …" Su Luo could not help but admit that it was true.
"Was it not for you that His Highness forcefully stopped his recovery, thus making his injury even more serious?!" Ling Feng spoke in a browbeat manner.

[A NOTE ON SPOILERS: Everyone but Ishmael is dead at the end of Moby-Dick; Snape kills Dumbledore. Since this is a critical blog, not a fansite or a paid review site, I'm going to ruin the endings of pretty much everything I write about if you haven't already read or seen them. Read on at your peril.]
I watched Swedish filmmaker Tomas Alfredsson's exquisite little masterpiece Let The Right One In a couple of weeks ago and have been putting off re-watching it (or writing about it) in part because it didn't want to lose the frisson of my first experience with the film, and dilute my excitement and affection for the film by looking at it critically. The film has stuck with me. I find myself thinking about it at weird moments, chilled by the memory of its claustrophobic intimacy, the vastness of its silences. It created for me the same sort of moral dread that I find in Henry James' The Turn of the Screw, or Shirley Jackson's We Have Always Lived in the Castle. Based on the 2004 novel Låt den rätte komma in by John Ajvide Lindqvist (available in English translation as a tie-in for the American release of the film), Alfredsson's adaptation pulls you unsuspecting into its cool embrace as ineluctably as the killer at the center of the story.
Set in Sweden in 1982, the film centers on 12-year old Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant), a fragile boy tormented by bullies who seems to exist slightly apart from the world of school, his estranged parents, and the Stockholm suburb where he lives in a bleak apartment block with his mother. The boy fantasizes violence: in the opening sequence we see him in his underpants, stabbing an imagined victim repeatedly with a knife while repeating his bullys' favorite taunt, "Squeal, squeal like a pig." For literature fans and cinephiles, this chant recalls both The Lord of the Flies and the rape scene in Deliverance, and watching the mostly naked pre-teen absorbed in his violent fantasy is as queasy-making as if the film had opened with an unflinching shot of him masturbating. With his obsessively-kept scrapbook full of news of death and horror, kept hidden the way other boys might hide porn, Oskar has sublimated his emergent sexuality into repressed aggression. But Oskar's violent fantasies are the only aspect of his life in which he is not submerged in a terrible passivity. He is inert before the viciousness of his school assailants, shuttles idly between his affectionate but distant parents, and seems as muffled from outside stimuli as the snow-bound suburb where he lives.
Until, that is, he meets his neighbor, the enigmatic Eli (Lina Leandersson). Eli is physically about the same age as Oskar, but doesn't know when her birthday is and cannot remember how to feel cold. A tentative friendship begins between the two lonely children that is galvanized when Eli confronts Oskar about an cut on his face from a willow switch wielded by his playground nemesis. "Hit them back, harder than you dare," Eli urges Oskar. And Oskar responds to her urges, fighting back, albeit awkwardly and with disastrous results, and attempting to grow stronger, both physically and psychically.
Eli, in her way, is as arrested in her development as Oskar. Dependent on a human helper for blood, she is filthy and unkempt, trapped in a squalid apartment, and curiously static and directionless. Oskar stirs her out of this stasis, but not in the way one might expect.
The figure of the child vampire – the ancient soul trapped in the unaging and, more importantly, unmaturing body of a child – is a preoccupation of vampire genre fiction from Anne Rice's magnificent Claudia in Interview with a Vampire to the young vamps of Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series. Perhaps the most thoughtful and compelling representation of the teen vampire is the troubled but courageous Simon in Cassandra Clare's City of Glass, which I hope to discuss in a future post. The problematic relationship between the ancient child vampire and the actual child makes for a compelling plot line ("How many times have you been 17?" asks Meyer's Bella), that is made more complex in Let The Right One In because the focus is not on the threat the ancient child poses to the human child, but on how the relationship compromises the strength of the vampire. Eli, when confronting Håkan, her doomed Renfield, is an adult, cool and uncompromising, but with Oskar she becomes more childlike and playful, regressing to his level in order to facilitate the connection that becomes more and more crucial to both their identities and, indeed, their survival.
The physical intimacy between the characters is, if not pre-sexual, certainly only liminally sexual – both Oskar and Eli long for non-violent, non-exploitative touch and both find it in their awkward embraces. When Eli declares that she is "not a girl," we assume she's referring to the aged soul in her 12-year old body and, in a departure from the novel, the film doesn't elaborate on what she means by this, excluding any reference to the horrific violence and mutilation of her origin story. It's fine with Oskar, though that she's isn't a girl in the ordinary sense becuase his boyhood is in its way as compromised and incomplete as Eli's girlhood. The two come together rather as sundered halves, complementing and completing each other is a way that is more disturbing than satisfying. Their union produces greater and greater anxiety in the viewer, rather than permitting any sense of safety or comfortable resolution.
This union comes to fruition in Oskar's final confrontation with his tormentors. Eli disrupts his capitulation with her own spectacular capacity for violent action, tearing him from the clutches of the by then murderous bullies and out of the stasis in which the frozen suburb had trapped them both. The end, in which Oskar has either become her partner in predation or taken the place of the hapless Håkan, leaves us uncomfortable and anxious, unsure whether this is a blackly happy ending or the re-beginning of a cycle of dependence that will end in disaster for Oskar.
Let The Right One In, with its provocative and original representation of the child vampire and her human companion is an important contribution to vampire genre films and to the cinema of preadolescence, and the novel is equally compelling. Watch the trailer below and then go out and rent or buy it. There's already an American re-adaptation in the works, so see the original before Hollywood drains all the blood out of it.

salomon speedcross 3 The V/2 maintains a lot of the same characteristics of the V/1, but does some material swapping on the upper to lighten the load by a reported 1 ounce. Note that there's already a black Japan pair out there, but the one shown below is much darker.Based on the catalog images, both pairs appear to have Primeknit uppers. Both pairs have been spotted before, with images surfacing back in February.As these leaks are showing up well before any sort of Adidas announcement around the shoes, the expected release date is sometime during August 2017.

Had a fun family day at Airdrie Airport for the spectacular Air Show!!!
And here's more -- Snowbirds with a huge heart!
Airdrie Regional Air Show, July 16-17, 2011
Alberta, Canada
Click here for other entries to Thursday Thirteen and Skywatch.
Had a fun family day at Airdrie Airport for the spectacular Air Show!!!
We tried our first camping trip. Just me and the kids and some friends. It was not bad, we had tons of fun. Except for the windy and cold weather. Yes, it's summer time here, but the temperature in Banff was still cold. I actually didn't sleep well that night.
I just discovered 2 new blogs/meme... Introducing Black and White Wednesday and That's My World...
Will be posting some photos in the coming weeks... watch out for it!
Our family went on to watch our very first Air show! It was great! The weather's perfect for an outdoor event. I had over 600 photos... and will be sharing them soon...
My husband recently got eye inflammatory on his left eye. Due to the delayed treatment, it had gotten worst to the point that it got blurry. His right eye is still okay though, but with left eye blurry, I forbid him to drive. It is just way too dangerous.
So yesterday and today, I had to missed work just to drive him to and from doctor's appointment and work. Later this evening though he got another doctor appointment which is just 3 minutes drive from home. I volunteered to drive him, but he insisted that he is fine.
After he left, I told my son to call his Lola [grandma] in New York and tell her to tell his daddy not to drive till his vision is completely normal. He thought about it for a minute and said "No, let's not stress out Lola anymore."
I was really surprised at his answer. He has grown up in some ways. And I'm proud of him.
You see, my in-laws were recently here for a short visit. And they were both not really feeling well and so stressed out. There's been one death in the family and prior to that, they were busy with reunions and trips. They were both hospitalized [at different times] while visiting my sister-in-law in New York prior to their visit here. My son knows that all we ask them while they were here was just to relax and slow down.
Last week, a friend ask my daughter to babysit for her children at Hyatt Regency... and this is the view from the hotel. Of course, I couldn't leave my daughter alone with 2 small children, so I was also there.
My birthday is coming up soon and my husband is asking me what I want.
Well, he knows what I really want, a 1-carat solitaire diamond ring! Unfortunately, that is out of budget! So I said I will settle for a semi mount diamond ring till the time we can afford the solitaire.
Which do you prefer? The gold one or the silver one? I think gold is for me. You can see the diamonds better.
Technology. My kids are having a hard time understanding how we lived as a kid when I told him that we didn't have Wii, XBox, DSi's, laptops and even cellphones. I got them one netbook which they always fight over. So for my daughter's upcoming birthday, she is requesting for her own netbook. I didn't say "yes" to her. Should I or shouldn't I??? I guess not! That is just way too expensive of a "toy" for an 11 year old. What do you think?
"We have to work to be good people… goodness always involves the choice to be good." ― Liv Ullman
My daughter was running around with her DSi to capture a photo of this squirrel at Elbow Falls... and she was frustrated because she couldn't get a clear shot. She beg me to use my camera to take a picture.
I swear, when these dogs saw me with my camera pointing at them, they stopped moving around and pose for me... and as soon as I put down my camera, they started moving around and barking.... Aren't they just adorable???
There's a reason why the past is the past. Do not dwell on the past. Live for today.
Do you have your ex as your friends in Facebook? Do you still chat or post wall messages to them? Is it right for your current partner to be jealous of your ex? Is it also right for your current partner to go into your Facebook account and "unfriend" all your exes?
A friend of mine is on the edge because of Facebook. She is just way too insecure about his ex' being on his friends' list on Facebook. His ex were on a different continent, so there's really no reason to be jealous, right?
To me, there's no harm done in being friends with your ex in cyberspace. It is after all, just communicating through cyberspace. Besides, there's a reason why they are your ex now, so why be jealous of them?
A little jealousy in a relationship is healthy because that means that someone is afraid of losing YOU. But too much can ruin a relationship and can drive that person away. Stop nagging and get over it. You are who he chose to be right now.

MasterCard partnered with Zwipe to create the world's first credit card that combines biometric authentication and contactless payment technology. Financial institution Sparebanken DIN of Norway conducted a live pilot of the Zwipe MasterCard over the last few months.
For security purposes, the fingerprints of the user are stored in the Zwipe MasterCard instead of an external database. The biometric authentication technology built into the Zwipe MasterCard replaces the traditional PIN entry, which means that cardholders can make payments of any amount rather than a prepaid amount. Setting up your fingerprint on the card requires an initial scan as part of the setup. Your fingerprint is used to authenticate each transaction at a payment terminal. The near field communication (NFC) support integrated in the Zwipe MasterCard lets you wave it at compatible terminals instead of having to swipe it.
"Response to our pilot with Sparebanken DIN has been very positive. Cardholders love how easy the card is to use with the added security feature. We have also had exceptionally good reaction from retailers participating in the pilot. This pilot enabled the partners to gather valuable customer feedback, experience and best practice for the enrollment and deployment phase," said Zwipe founder and CEO Kim Humborstad.
Next year, Zwipe plans to release a new version of the Zwipe MasterCard. The new version will be the same format as a standard card and will be compatible with all payment terminals. A battery will not be needed in future versions of the Zwipe MasterCard because it will havest energy from the payment terminals. MasterCard has tested out several other biometric technologies for payment systems, including palm vein patterns and iris recognition.
"Our belief is that we should be able to identify ourselves without having to use passwords or PIN numbers. Biometric authentication can help us achieve this. However, our challenge is to ensure the technology offers robust security, simplicity of use and convenience for the customer. Zwipe's first trial is a significant milestone and its results are very encouraging," added MasterCard's president of enterprise security solutions Ajay Bhalla in a statement. "Safety and security in everyday payments is at the heart of MasterCard's business. We will continue to work with innovators, like Zwipe, to ensure we stay ahead of fraudsters and provide a seamless payment experience, as ultimately it is consumers who decide how they choose to pay."
Another form of payment that authenticates identities using fingerprint sensors will be Apple Pay, which is launching on October 20th. According to IBTimes UK, Humborstad does not consider Apple Pay as a rival. He said that Apple Pay is complementary to Zwipe MasterCard. "I think that Apple, through the biometric technology, really educated the market and opened it up for company's like us," said Humborstad in an interview.

Some shots from around the nursery:
Viburnum tinus 'Spring Bouquet'. This is one of those plants that is so common I started to dismiss it. In reality though its a pretty nice shrub. Grows to 4-6 ft high and wide. Like most shrubs, keep it pruned a bit to avoid legginess.
Forsythia intermedia x 'Kogold' , one of the newer Monrovia introductions.
Pieris japonica: Lily of the Valley shrub. Graceful shrub for the shade; grows anywhere from 3-6 ft or more depending on the variety.
Another Monrovia hybrid: Magnolia x veitchii 'Columbus'. Pyramidal shape to 30-35 ft. Large white blossoms in early spring before leaves.
Camellia x ' Coral Delight'. This is a cross between C. japonica and C. saluenensis. This picture doesnt do it justice. We have about 5 of them in full bloom and you very nearly cannot see any foliage. (ok, I see foliage in the picture..but you know what I mean)
Euphorbia characais "Humpty Dumpty. Compact perennial to 2 1/2 feet with late winter/early spring blossoms.
I put two pictures on here because I couldnt pick one. I love the way the Hamamelis mollis 'Diane' and the Corylus avellana 'Contorta' are side by side in the nursery! They look so nice together right now.
Thats it for today......

Amber Hope and Lacey Love
I'm missing my babies. They're being boarded while we celebrate Christmas with family. At least I know they love the people where they're boarded and they're together and well cared for. Doesn't make me miss them any less though.
Amber Hope is a three and a half year old Maltese/Toy Terrier. We got her from a rescue when she was nine months old. Her first name comes from her eye's which are Amber colored and her middle name from the fact she's ALWAYS hoping for food! Amber is pretty laid back, most of the time, unless she sees a squirrel.
We ordered Lacey Love from Moss Creek Goldendoodles in February of 2013. Her father is Sammy, a moyan poodle and the mother is Mindy, a golden doodle. That makes her 1/4 golden retriever and 3/4 poodle. She was born the end of May and came home with us the end of July.
We wanted a small goldendoodle. Waiting through the conception, birth and then the nine weeks after, was like waiting for a new human baby. We saw pictures of the parents, on the breeder's website. They took pictures of the litter every week and emailed them to us. When the pups were old enough to be separated, they took individual pictures. Each pup had a different colored collar put on at birth. We got to make a first and second choice from the litter photos. We got our first choice, yellow collar girl. She is named Lacey Love. Lacey because she is white, soft, feminine and I'm a heirloom sewist among other things. The Love is because she is so sweet and loving.
They are our very spoiled children!

National CCW
Thank God the NRA got into this early, the President elect appreciates that.
I think Trump has a number of good ideas...not just on the gun issues either. This is why I voted for the man.
Have you seen all the ways the Liberals are still trying to nullify his election? The bastards had better not even be able to gain any ground on this. If they tried to reverse this election, I think they would probably finally piss off this county's 100 million registered gun owners.
My wife thinks my M91/30's are haunted.
Do you remember 2008 and 2012 when all the Republicans rioted and protested? Oh yea it didn't happen. Conservative is a nice description of the party. We have had to take it on the chin repeatedly....how's that humble pie Libs?
Seriously though...I am kind of impressed with the Prez elect's first week. He seems to have some good ideas.
He wasn't my choice. But HRC wouldn't EVER be my choice.
Eehhh, for a National CCW, what would be the price, what would be the qualifications, and what would be the limitations of carry?? A driver's licenses isn't needed to move freely between the states, and a restricted license isn't always valid in other states. CCW is a state issue, not a fed issue. Think about it, you can't carry on any fed installation, CCW or not. Will that change also??
Behüte mich Gott vor meinen Freunden, mit den Feinden will ich schon fertig werden!
And you are incorrect about carrying on Federal installations. Under 18 U.S. Code § 930 carrying in Federal facilities (which is defined as "a building or part thereof owned or leased by the Federal Government, where Federal employees are regularly present for the purpose of performing their official duties") is prohibited, not installations.
The Post Office has its own laws (Code of Federal Regulations – Title 39) which need to be overturned as well under the 2A.
Trump has said he supports removing all Federal restrictions on gun rights, now we get to see if that support equates action on his part.
And Dam Neck Annex is a facility, NOB is an installation. You can carry on neither.
Behüte mich Gott vor meinen Freunden, mit den Feinden will ich schon fertig werden!
A Naval Operating Base falls under the same Federal law.
Lackland AFB tries the same thing, they have signs at the gate stating "dangerous weapons are not allowed under 18 U.S. Code §930;" but they cannot enforce that for the entire installation, only facilities.
Most base prohibitions are due to a commander's policy, not Federal Law.
From: http://www.cnic.navy.mil/regions/cnr...eck_annex.html
This what I go by...last updated 24AUG16
Places Off - Limits Even With a Permit/License
1. Federal Courthouses *
2. Federal Buildings *
3. Any Building Owed, Leas ed or Rented by the Federal Government. This includes buildings in National Forests which are property of the Federal Government. There is no Federal Law that prohibits carry in National Forests. States control the carrying of firearms in National Forests in their state.
4. Federal Prisons *
5. U.S. Army Corp s of Engineers * The Corps builds and runs flood control and navigation Dams. The Corp s has jurisdiction over the Dam Site and usually all waters backed up by the dam. Carry anywhere on Corps property is illegal. Firearms can be unloaded and secured in a vehicle while on Corps Property.
6. National Cemeteries * CFR Title 38 - PART 1 - 1.218 (a) (13)
7. Military Bases Firearms are forbidden on military bases even unloaded and secured in a vehicle. Carry not allowed. Some have shooting clubs. You can take firearms onto the Base to shoot if allowed by the base . Certain rules/regulations must be met before bringi ng firearms onto a Military Compound. Check at each Military Post for specific rules on Shooting Clubs . See GSA and operation of Federal Buildings Section below. 8. Rented Offices , Any part of any building that the Federal Government has rented for Offic e space or work force etc. Just their offices or the part of the building they have control over. You can carry in the rest of the building if state or local laws allow.
9. . Amtrak * Effective Dec. 2010 Amtrak will have a system in place to check firearms/Ammo in checked ( Amtrak Firearms Policy )
10 . Post Office Postal regulations prohibit the possession of firearms in their buildings and in their par king lots or any property they own. March 2016 the US Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal and affirmed a lower Court ruling that the Post Office could ban firearms in its buildings and parking lot.
11 . Bureau of Land Management * If you can legal ly carry in the state the BLM land is in you can carry on the BLM land. If it is not legal the area will be posted as no firearms allowed. Any building on the BLM land operated by the federal government is considered federal property and carry in those bui ldings is not allowed.
12. Indian Reservations Carry on Indian property is controlled by Tribal Law.
* This includes parking lots adjacent to or part of the facility if the Federal Agency/Entity owns or has control of the parking lot and it is p osted "No Firearms " . The lot has to be posted under federal law if they do not wish to have firearms present. See law below. Law Stating That All Federal Buildings Must be Posted.
Behüte mich Gott vor meinen Freunden, mit den Feinden will ich schon fertig werden!
Where exactly did you get that list, especially #7?
I know at least one of those--#4--is inaccurate. On Friday, May 1, 2015, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 2028 the "Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2016," by a bipartisan vote of 240-177. This bill is designed to protect the rights of gun owners on lands owned or managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). This legislation would help end the patchwork of firearm laws and regulations that govern different federal lands managed by different federal agencies...
And I know #7 is not true as Dyass AFB allows vehicle carry...
Sorry nothing personal but until you list the actual laws I am not convinced. I have already provide the US Code about Federal installations, so please include references for your list.

Life in General…..
You see the problem I am having in finding a decent flat is that you have to make 3 times the amount of the rent, so if the rent is 400.00 I have to make 1200.00 a month in order to even qualify for the flat. This is so discouraging because I am on a fixed income of 731.00 a month so I am stuck living in this boarding house for the foreseeable future.
Quick good note I am registering for school and I have chosen to finish my bachelors degree in information technology, most of my military career gave me extra credits towards it and so did my previous schooling, so it will give me something to do with my time.
On to a subject I don't know what to do about, I need to pay the taxes and get my tags for my car. Here is the problem I make 731 per month, my rent is 355 per month, my internet and phone is 53.00 per month, so that leaves me with 323, now the taxes for the car are 100 and I am having trouble finding insurance that doesn't cost over 200 to even start the policy and that is due to having a lapse in coverage. Thing is I will need cash for medications, co-pays and just everyday normal things like toilet paper, chew and odds and ends, so I don't know what to do.
Also have you ever been rabbit punched or hit in the kidney area of your back, or been tackled in that area, well I hurt in that area and it has me worried, the pain is a mind numbing ache that I have had for over a week. That is worrying me a lot it hurts most on the left side, could be an infection or just sleeping on a lousy bed.
With much love and devotion,

...Complementary and aditional definitions of PURE LOGIC...! William Thomson, Immanuel Kant and Richard Frederick Clarke...!http://anagrammatt2.blogspot.ca/2014/09/my-re-edition-re-print-aquired.html
[A] ARCHBISHOP William Thomson
I will use a reference to the "particular" definition
or usage given by the late ARCHBISHOP of CANTERBURY,
William Thomson, of pure logic, in his Book of Logic.
I happen to have a reprint of his Book! Probably not
buried from World Libraries and re-prints on amazon.com,
but buried most likely from Universities Academia!
The Books title is:
An outline of the necessary LAWS OF THOUGHT: A treatise
on Pure and Applied Logic. By William Thomson, D.D.
Page 23
5. Pure Logic (which is later in the order of discovery
than applied, inasmuch as it is formed by abstracting
from that more general science) takes no account of
modes in which we collect the materials of thought, such
as Perception, Belief, Memory, Suggestion, Association
of Ideas; although these are all in one sense laws of
thought.* Presupposing the possesion of the materials,
it only refers them to their proper head or principle,
as conceptions, as subjects or predicates, as judgements,
or as arguments. It enounces the laws we must observe in
thinking, but does not explain the subsidiary processes,
some or all of which must take place to allow us to think.
Again, in pure logic, the different processes of the mind
are regarded in their perfect and complete state; whilst
in applied, the imperfect faculties of man, the limited
opportunities of observation, the necessity of deciding
upon a question when the materials of a judgement are still
insufficient, impose many limitations on the perfection
of our knowledge.
11. Pure Logic is a science of the form, or of the formal
laws of thinking, and not of the matter. The terms form
and matter, in their philosophic use, will require some
A statue may be considered as consisting of two parts, the
marble out of which it is hewn, which is its matter or
stuff, and the form which the artist communicates. The
latter is esential to the statue, but not the former,
since the work might be the same, though the material
different; but if the form were wanting we could not even
call the work a statue. This notion of a material
susceptible of a certain form, the accesion of which shall
give it a new nature and name, may be regarded as matter,
and geometrical figures as the form imprssed in it. The
voice is the matter of speech, and articulation the form.
But as it is the form which proximately and obviously makes
the thing what it is (although there can be no form whitout
matter), the word form to be interchanged with essence and
with nature...
I completely understand your doubts on my usage of the
terminology of PURE LOGIC!
But what has meaning and usage in chemistry, minerals,
language, can be completely defined using a combined
Thus I simplify the issue, by merely saying pure is not
only the specific pure H2O formula for water, but can
also mean the necessary (complete) water contents the
human body needs, as MINERAL WATER, from a mountain
spring, plus a bit of chlorine, the brain needs, etc...!
Or as you find the origin of pure bauxite from where you
can make Aluminum. Or the pure form of gold found in rock
in Nature, which is pure, but can be further purified to
a specific form of Gold. But that came from a complete
general form in nature!
Pure logic is the complete realm of the necessary rules
for thought: the realm of positive good logic, and the
realm of negative bad logic! And so on!
Anyway, I am allowed to define or make a self definition
as pertaining the redaction of my Books and studies! In
this lies my originality!
For example in thought we can show a pure perfect idea,
or a merely logic idea!
Light is white, which is logic! But in complete pure logic,
we know light is not only white, it is even out of the
range of human eyesight perception!
[B] The Critique of Pure Reason, by Immanuel Kant
I. Of the difference between Pure and Empirical Knowledge
That all our knowledge begins with experience there can be no doubt. For how is it possible that the faculty of cognition should be awakened into exercise otherwise than by means of objects which affect our senses, and partly of themselves produce representations, partly rouse our powers of understanding into activity, to compare, to connect, or to separate these, and so to convert the raw material of our sensuous impressions into a knowledge of objects, which is called experience? In respect of time, therefore, no knowledge of ours is antecedent to experience, but begins with it.
But, though all our knowledge begins with experience, it by no means follows that all arises out of experience. For, on the contrary, it is quite possible that our empirical knowledge is a compound of that which we receive through impressions, and that which the faculty of cognition supplies from itself (sensuous impressions giving merely the occasion), an addition which we cannot distinguish from the original element given by sense, till long practice has made us attentive to, and skilful in separating it. It is, therefore, a question which requires close investigation, and not to be answered at first sight, whether there exists a knowledge altogether independent of experience, and even of all sensuous impressions. Knowledge of this kind is called a priori, in contradistinction to empirical knowledge, which has its sources a posteriori, that is, in experience.
But the expression, "a priori," is not as yet definite enough adequately to indicate the whole meaning of the question above stated. For, in speaking of knowledge which has its sources in experience, we are wont to say, that this or that may be known a priori, because we do not derive this knowledge immediately from experience, but from a general rule, which, however, we have itself borrowed from experience. Thus, if a man undermined his house, we say, "he might know a priori that it would have fallen;" that is, he needed not to have waited for the experience that it did actually fall. But still, a priori, he could not know even this much. For, that bodies are heavy, and, consequently, that they fall when their supports are taken away, must have been known to him previously, by means of experience.
By the term "knowledge a priori," therefore, we shall in the sequel understand, not such as is independent of this or that kind of experience, but such as is absolutely so of all experience. Opposed to this is empirical knowledge, or that which is possible only a posteriori, that is, through experience. Knowledge a priori is either pure or impure. Pure knowledge a priori is that with which no empirical element is mixed up. For example, the proposition, "Every change has a cause," is a proposition a priori, but impure, because change is a conception which can only be derived from experience.
II. The Human Intellect, even in an Unphilosophical State, is in Possession of Certain Cognitions "a priori".
The question now is as to a criterion, by which we may securely distinguish a pure from an empirical cognition. Experience no doubt teaches us that this or that object is constituted in such and such a manner, but not that it could not possibly exist otherwise. Now, in the first place, if we have a proposition which contains the idea of necessity in its very conception, if, moreover, it is not derived from any other proposition, unless from one equally involving the idea of necessity, it is absolutely priori. Secondly, an empirical judgement never exhibits strict and absolute, but only assumed and comparative universality (by induction); therefore, the most we can say is—so far as we have hitherto observed, there is no exception to this or that rule. If, on the other hand, a judgement carries with it strict and absolute universality, that is, admits of no possible exception, it is not derived from experience, but is valid absolutely a priori.
Empirical universality is, therefore, only an arbitrary extension of validity, from that which may be predicated of a proposition valid in most cases, to that which is asserted of a proposition which holds good in all; as, for example, in the affirmation, "All bodies are heavy." When, on the contrary, strict universality characterizes a judgement, it necessarily indicates another peculiar source of knowledge, namely, a faculty of cognition a priori. Necessity and strict universality, therefore, are infallible tests for distinguishing pure from empirical knowledge, and are inseparably connected with each other. But as in the use of these criteria the empirical limitation is sometimes more easily detected than the contingency of the judgement, or the unlimited universality which we attach to a judgement is often a more convincing proof than its necessity, it may be advisable to use the criteria separately, each being by itself infallible.
Now, that in the sphere of human cognition we have judgements which are necessary, and in the strictest sense universal, consequently pure a priori, it will be an easy matter to show. If we desire an example from the sciences, we need only take any proposition in mathematics. If we cast our eyes upon the commonest operations of the understanding, the proposition, "Every change must have a cause," will amply serve our purpose. In the latter case, indeed, the conception of a cause so plainly involves the conception of a necessity of connection with an effect, and of a strict universality of the law, that the very notion of a cause would entirely disappear, were we to derive it, like Hume, from a frequent association of what happens with that which precedes; and the habit thence originating of connecting representations—the necessity inherent in the judgement being therefore merely subjective. Besides, without seeking for such examples of principles existing a priori in cognition, we might easily show that such principles are the indispensable basis of the possibility of experience itself, and consequently prove their existence a priori. For whence could our experience itself acquire certainty, if all the rules on which it depends were themselves empirical, and consequently fortuitous? No one, therefore, can admit the validity of the use of such rules as first principles. But, for the present, we may content ourselves with having established the fact, that we do possess and exercise a faculty of pure a priori cognition; and, secondly, with having pointed out the proper tests of such cognition, namely, universality and necessity.
Not only in judgements, however, but even in conceptions, is an a priori origin manifest. For example, if we take away by degrees from our conceptions of a body all that can be referred to mere sensuous experience—colour, hardness or softness, weight, even impenetrability—the body will then vanish; but the space which it occupied still remains, and this it is utterly impossible to annihilate in thought. Again, if we take away, in like manner, from our empirical conception of any object, corporeal or incorporeal, all properties which mere experience has taught us to connect with it, still we cannot think away those through which we cogitate it as substance, or adhering to substance, although our conception of substance is more determined than that of an object. Compelled, therefore, by that necessity with which the conception of substance forces itself upon us, we must confess that it has its seat in our faculty of cognition a priori.
III. Philosophy stands in need of a Science which shall Determine the Possibility, Principles, and Extent of Human Knowledge "a priori"
Of far more importance than all that has been above said, is the consideration that certain of our cognitions rise completely above the sphere of all possible experience, and by means of conceptions, to which there exists in the whole extent of experience no corresponding object, seem to extend the range of our judgements beyond its bounds. And just in this transcendental or supersensible sphere, where experience affords us neither instruction nor guidance, lie the investigations of reason, which, on account of their importance, we consider far preferable to, and as having a far more elevated aim than, all that the understanding can achieve within the sphere of sensuous phenomena. So high a value do we set upon these investigations, that even at the risk of error, we persist in following them out, and permit neither doubt nor disregard nor indifference to restrain us from the pursuit. These unavoidable problems of mere pure reason are God, freedom (of will), and immortality. The science which, with all its preliminaries, has for its especial object the solution of these problems is named metaphysics—a science which is at the very outset dogmatical, that is, it confidently takes upon itself the execution of this task without any previous investigation of the ability or inability of reason for such an undertaking.
Now the safe ground of experience being thus abandoned, it seems nevertheless natural that we should hesitate to erect a building with the cognitions we possess, without knowing whence they come, and on the strength of principles, the origin of which is undiscovered. Instead of thus trying to build without a foundation, it is rather to be expected that we should long ago have put the question, how the understanding can arrive at these a priori cognitions, and what is the extent, validity, and worth which they may possess? We say, "This is natural enough," meaning by the word natural, that which is consistent with a just and reasonable way of thinking; but if we understand by the term, that which usually happens, nothing indeed could be more natural and more comprehensible than that this investigation should be left long unattempted. For one part of our pure knowledge, the science of mathematics, has been long firmly established, and thus leads us to form flattering expectations with regard to others, though these may be of quite a different nature. Besides, when we get beyond the bounds of experience, we are of course safe from opposition in that quarter; and the charm of widening the range of our knowledge is so great that, unless we are brought to a standstill by some evident contradiction, we hurry on undoubtingly in our course. This, however, may be avoided, if we are sufficiently cautious in the construction of our fictions, which are not the less fictions on that account.
Mathematical science affords us a brilliant example, how far, independently of all experience, we may carry our a priori knowledge. It is true that the mathematician occupies himself with objects and cognitions only in so far as they can be represented by means of intuition. But this circumstance is easily overlooked, because the said intuition can itself be given a priori, and therefore is hardly to be distinguished from a mere pure conception. Deceived by such a proof of the power of reason, we can perceive no limits to the extension of our knowledge. The light dove cleaving in free flight the thin air, whose resistance it feels, might imagine that her movements would be far more free and rapid in airless space, just in the same way did Plato, abandoning the world of sense because of the narrow limits it sets to the understanding, venture upon the wings of ideas beyond it, into the void space of pure intellect. He did not reflect that he made no real progress by all his efforts; for he met with no resistance which might serve him for a support, as it were, whereon to rest, and on which he might apply his powers, in order to let the intellect acquire momentum for its progress. It is, indeed, the common fate of human reason in speculation, to finish the imposing edifice of thought as rapidly as possible, and then for the first time to begin to examine whether the foundation is a solid one or no. Arrived at this point, all sorts of excuses are sought after, in order to console us for its want of stability, or rather, indeed, to enable us to dispense altogether with so late and dangerous an investigation. But what frees us during the process of building from all apprehension or suspicion, and flatters us into the belief of its solidity, is this. A great part, perhaps the greatest part, of the business of our reason consists in the analysation of the conceptions which we already possess of objects. By this means we gain a multitude of cognitions, which although really nothing more than elucidations or explanations of that which (though in a confused manner) was already thought in our conceptions, are, at least in respect of their form, prized as new introspections; whilst, so far as regards their matter or content, we have really made no addition to our conceptions, but only disinvolved them. But as this process does furnish a real priori knowledge, which has a sure progress and useful results, reason, deceived by this, slips in, without being itself aware of it, assertions of a quite different kind; in which, to given conceptions it adds others, a priori indeed, but entirely foreign to them, without our knowing how it arrives at these, and, indeed, without such a question ever suggesting itself. I shall therefore at once proceed to examine the difference between these two modes of knowledge.
So far I can extend the definition of pure logic, to at least three usages and definitions:
[1] Pure complete logic, is not only the purity of a chemical element of the periodical table, but the pure natural form of a element as found in nature, which is not as pure as to its main element, but complete as to what else is found with it.
[2] Pure complete logic, is all logic, including non-logic or illogic.
[3] Pure logic, as un-biassed, true and factual logic. Has no need to invent or make up stories.
[4] And the Immanuel Kant, pure logic, of what is pure a priori knowledge and what is not pure a priori knowledge.
I am sure there exists more usages of pure and applicable to pure logic! But if there aren't these four listed ones, are well sufficient.
George F. Thomson

Jefferson Hagen / MacEwan Athletics
EDMONTON – With the final seconds of a university career built on blood, sweat and tears ticking down, Ryan Coleman bashed out a hard-earned offensive rebound and jammed it home off the glass.
The appreciative and raucous Senior Night crowd rained down chants of 'Cole-train' after the bucket with 48 seconds left in overtime sealed a 107-101 come-from-behind win for the MacEwan Griffins over the Trinity Western Spartans in the Canada West men's basketball season finale for both teams.
If there was one shot that provided the epitome of the gritty graduating senior's impact on the MacEwan Griffins, that was it. His final one.
"It's probably the perfect way for him to end his career – a really tough rebound, him battling inside and then getting the opportunity to score to finish it off," said MacEwan head coach Eric Magdanz, who earlier in the night feted Coleman in a Senior Night ceremony. "That's really who he is and what he's done his entire career. It's a perfect capper on top of it."
Coleman led the Griffins with 21 points and seven rebounds in a workhorse 40 minutes on the floor that finally ended when he was subbed out to a standing ovation with 29 seconds remaining.
"It really felt nice," he said of a special night that included a basket he'll never forget. "It defines what I am as a player and defines what I've done for the past five years. To be able to continuously give the same energy with a consistent basis, to bring the same intensity all the time – that bucket just defined everything. It just shows the hustle and that I'll do anything to get us a win."
The Griffins fed off the electric energy in the air for Coleman's swan song and fought back from an eight-point deficit late in the third quarter, tying the contest on two Adonis Monfort-Palomino free throws with six seconds left.
Once the game got to OT tied 92-92, MacEwan just took over, specifically leading scorer Ali Raza, who scored nine of his 19 points in the extra frame.
"We really came in and I think we really rallied around it being Ryan's final game," said Magdanz. "Guys drew some energy off of that. When you see Ryan play that hard, all you really want to do is follow his leadership."
MacEwan was somehow able to fight off one of the hottest-shooting games by anyone in Canada West this season as fourth-year TWU guard Vartan Tanielian scored 38 points, shooting 13 of 22 from the field and draining 6-of-10 three-point attempts. He added four rebounds, five assists and two steals.
"I'm proud of Vartan," said Spartans head coach Aaron Muhic. "He's come a long way. He's really been patient all year with his shot selection. I'm very happy he was able to end the season that way."
Muhic is less pleased with the end of the contest when the Spartans couldn't keep the lead they held, albeit a small one, for much of the contest.
"We just made some mental mistakes," he said. "I thought we defended at the end to put it into overtime and once we got into overtime, we just didn't move the ball good enough, didn't share it good enough, didn't get good enough shots.
"MacEwan played really good defence. They were contesting everything. That's it. That's the ball game."
Pogos Trunyan added 20 points and seven rebounds for the Spartans, making two three-pointers to set a new TWU school record with 67 this season.
"He's a heck of a shooter. He really is," said Muhic. "He knows he's a good shooter and he went after the record. Sometimes records don't mean much when your team isn't playing good. I thought he forced things. It would have been nice if he could have ended it a little better as far as with the team, but that's the way it goes."
Deonte Doslov-Doctor had a double-double for the Griffins with 10 points and 13 rebounds, while Liban Yousef, really logging important minutes down the stretch, had 13 points and six boards off the bench. Lincoln Anderson chipped in 10 points.
The win means the Griffins will finish the season at 5-15 – not a playoff record, but at least they head into the off-season with a winning taste in their mouths.
"It's the season of growth and we really did see that growth over the course of the year," said Magdanz. "We have a ways to go. This off-season is going to be an opportunity for us to get ourselves ready. We know what to expect from Canada West now and it's up to us to make sure we get ourselves there."
TWU will also miss the post-season after finishing at 3-17. Two of their wins came on the final two weekends.
"It was an interesting season," said Muhic. "I really like our team. We have good guys. It's always fun to work with good guys. We all wanted to win more games, but I think that will come with experience.
"I think our record wasn't great, but as far as improvement, I thought we really improved, especially these last few weeks. We're a lot better than we have been. So, I'm proud of the guys for that."

First, I want to say a huge thanks to Port Townsend Chamber of Commerce for the honor! Second, huge congratulations to all the other nominees, as some of them clearly kick my butt with their business accomplishments. Kris Nelson, especially stands out as a Thirty-Something generation home town gal who not only does "big" business in town, but serves on City Council. A heroine for our times and despite all the things all the rest of us have done, and my sincere congratulations to the winner, Linda Lakush, Kris would have gotten my vote for the top honor this year. That's probably ageist, but so be it. At 50, I want to balance my cheers for my elders with the cheers to those coming along behind us.
Regarding my nomination, I am giddy with gratitude for the attention it brings to DECADES of work by Port Townsend marine trades and gigantically generous people who volunteer and businesses, Port leaders and Chamber volunteers who have always been vital to it's success. Here's what I wrote to Fred Obee at the Port Townsend Leader when he emailed me with the news of my nomination. I regret I couldn't be there in person to say it at the banquet, but I'd already booked a flight out before knowing anything at all about the banquet.
"The WBF Founders, the early Directors, Festival Coordinators and Volunteers are who should get this honor. Their incredible vision, the generosity of Port Townsend people of all political persuasions, the skill contributed and committed to for decades in our marine trades, the cooperation and support of the Port of Port Townsend and the partnership with the City, the Leader, accommodations owners, neighbor businesses, PTPD, transportation, heck...even Goodman Sanitation! are why I fell in love with the Festival personally and why it was such an honor, such a dream job for ten years. Certainly my international experience and passion for making the event richer in every way possible for people attending, my deep respect for the traditions of those who'd created before me and for the visitors was where my previous experience contributed most, but without the wooden boat owners year round contributions and without the local marine trades and Port keeping our town "authentic" we could never have accomplished the reputation in the world we have. Through the festival a wooden boat found me and now, without the full-time job as director, I'm writing my first book called Finding PAX. Pax is the 1936 Danish spidsgatter that came into my life on a windy day at Cupola House and I will be aboard her the entire Festival this year with owners from near 8 decades of her life. Forever a fan of wooden boats, my passion and support continue for the Festival, Port Townsend's Port and marine trades and the impact this makes on people worldwide. Thank you so much for the honor.
