MELBOURNE, Australia (AP)—Apart from a swollen lip that helped take her mind off her injured right ankle, Serena Williams emerged unscathed from her second-round win at the Australian Open on Thursday.
Williams went into Thursday's match with an injured right ankle. She didn't seem troubled by the ankle, but did finish with a swollen lip after hitting herself with her racquet.
"It's OK,'' she said. "It's a war wound. I think it happens to everyone, but I have never busted it wide open like that. I was like, 'Oh, no. I can't have a tooth fall out.' That would be horrible.''
Williams lifted her tempo on the biggest points, including when she finally won an 18-minute game to open the second set en route to a 6-2, 6-0 win over Garbine Muguruza.
"Usually I feel injuries after the match, but so far, so good. I felt pretty much better than I ever dreamed of expecting to feel,'' Williams said of her ankle.
She later combined with sister Venus to win in the first round of doubles, showing no signs of trouble with the ankle. Also advancing among the Americans was 23-year-old Jamie Hampton, who, with her win, moved into the third round of a Grand Slam event for the first time in her career.
With the sun setting at the end of a torridly hot day at the Australian Open, Roger Federer ensured he made the most of a favorable evening draw.
Wearing bright pink shoelaces, Federer advanced to the third round with a 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 win over Russian Nikolay Davydenko.
The 17-time Grand Slam champion was a winner of sorts before he even stepped out at Rod Laver Arena, having received the luck of the draw -- a 7 p.m. start time after the worst of the 100-plus-degree heat had subsided.
"I'm very happy to have played so well against him," Federer said of his 18th win over Davydenko in their 20 matches.
Other championship contenders in the men's and women's draws, including Andy Murray, Williams and defending champion Victoria Azarenka, had to withstand the high temperatures that aren't unusual for this time of year in Melbourne but still not conducive to long matches.
"You need to be the one that's trying to dictate the points in these conditions," said Murray, who practices in Florida. "Miami is the perfect preparation. It's hot and humid there, although it certainly doesn't get up to 37 degrees (Celsius; 99 Fahrenheit). It was a good match to get done in straight sets."
Despite the high temperatures -- it later peaked at 106 degrees F -- tournament officials left the retractable roofs on both main arenas open because a combination of factors, including humidity and court temperature, didn't warrant making the venues a temporary indoor haven from the heat.
Ice vests and towels helped players keep their cool, and a women's tour rule allowing a 10-minute break between sets was invoked late in the day, tournament director Craig Tiley said.
"It's always the referee's discretion, but the lack of humidity helped us today," Tiley said. Australia sweltered through a week of record-high average temperatures earlier this month, but the first three days of the Open were relatively mild.
The top-ranked Azarenka pranced into Rod Laver Arena for the first match of the day, and said she's starting to find some rhythm after beating Eleni Daniilidou, 6-1, 6-0, in 55 minutes.
The heat didn't seem to bother 42-year-old Kimiko Date-Krumm, who advanced, 6-2, 7-5, over Shahar Peer of Israel. She's the oldest woman to win a singles match at the Australian Open.
Other women advancing included former No. 1-ranked Caroline Wozniacki, No. 14 Maria Kirilenko, No. 16 Roberta Vinci, No. 20 Yanina Wickmayer and Elena Vesnina, who beat No. 21-seeded Varvara Lepchenko of the United States 6-4, 6-2.
Former US Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova beat 26th-seeded Hsieh Su-wei of Taiwan 6-2, 6-1.
Murray, who ended a 76-year drought by British men in Grand Slam tournaments with his win at Flushing Meadows last year, didn't allow Joao Sousa of Portugal a single break-point chance in his 6-2, 6-2, 6-4 win.
Among the other men advancing were sixth-seeded Juan Martin del Potro, who beat Benjamin Becker 6-2, 6-4, 6-2, and 2008 Australian finalist Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who pretended to do push-ups to disguise a fall during his 6-3, 7-6 (1), 6-3 win over Japan's Go Soeda.
Australia's Bernard Tomic went through to the third round along with No. 9 Richard Gasquet, No. 13 Milos Raonic of Canada, No. 17 Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany, No. 21 Andreas Seppi of Italy and Lithuanian qualifier Ricardas Berankis, who beat No. 25 Florian Mayer, 6-2, 6-3, 6-1.
Gael Monfils improbably advanced to the third round with a five-set win over Taiwan's Lu Yen-hsun despite the Frenchman having 23 double faults, including three on match point. Fortunately for Monfils, he also had 29 aces in the 7-6 (5), 4-6, 0-6, 6-1, 8-6 win.
Djokovic, attempting to win his third Australian Open in a row, plays his third-round match on Friday against Radek Stepanek, while the featured women's match will be second-seeded Maria Sharapova's eighth career meeting with Venus Williams.
Sharapova holds a 4-3 edge, although Venus has won both times they've met in Grand Slams -- at Wimbledon.

Skip to comments.Is Daredevil Nik Wallenda Tempting God?
Posted on 06/23/2013 6:53:17 AM PDT by CHRISTIAN DIARIST
After his death-defying, history-making walk last year on a tightrope, several hundred feet above Niagara Falls, Nik Wallenda this evening will defy death yet again in his live televised walk across the Grand Canyon.
The walk will be 1,500 feet above northern Arizonas Little Colorado River Gorge, known by locals as Grand Canyon East. The distance between Wallendas tightrope and the bottom of the gorge is equivalent to the distance between the top of Empire State Building and the sidewalk below.
So if Wallenda is off his game Sunday evening, if he suddenly encounters high winds or other deleterious conditions, he can easily plunge to his death.
Like his great-grandfather Karl Wallenda, who in 1978 attempted a walk between the twin ten-story towers of the Condado Plaza Hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico, only to fall to his death before a live audience.
Many think the late Karl Wallendas great-grandson is tempting God by continuing to undertake extremely dangerous skywalks without benefit of a harness or a net. But 34-year-old Nck Wallenda, a purpose-driven Christian, sees it differently.
Keeping the faith is all that keeps me balanced, writes young man Wallenda, in his just-released memoir, Balance: A Story of Faith, Family, and Life on the Line. If I didnt believe, Id fall in any number of ways. By believing, my spirit stays afloat.
Wallenda professes that his high-wire act, which will be viewed by a national television audience, brings glory to God. He holds fast to his faith that God will be walking alongside him when hes high above Grand Canyon East, as He was when the daredevil was high above Niagara Falls.
Im praying for Wallenda. I believe that every time he successfully completes one of his death-defying walks, he confirms the pronouncement of the Apostle Paul that we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
I also am persuaded that Wallenda has a unique anointing. Indeed, there were many, no doubt, who witnessed his Niagara Falls walk on TV, who heard Wallenda calling upon the name of the Lord during the live telecast, who were motivated by the Holy Spirit to seek Christ..
Similarly, there will be many who tune in tonight to see if Wallenda loses his life on live TV while attempting to traverse the spectacularly terrifying Little Colorado River Gorge or if Wallendas God once again delivers him from the clutches of death.
I, for one, believe God is with Nik Wallenda. And if the daredevil looks heavenward during his skywalk tonight, I believe he will see the Lord, high and lifted up.
I won't judge but I thank God he hasn't called me to do it.
God has nothing better to do than keep a man balanced on a taut rope he chose to walk over for a hobby, while millions of children are born to their deaths, in abject misery.
He's a world famous tight rope walker from a long line of world famous tight rope walkers, this is what he does.
I hope all goes well for him, and that this doesn't become a "suicide by gravity."
We are all born to our deaths. Some simply have shorter lives than others. Every soul has its calling and purpose in this life, even if we cannot comprehend it as finite, non-transcendent entities.
If this man wishes to try and bring glory to God in this very dangerous way, it is his life to lay on the line. I send a prayer to him, and hope God does indeed walk with him.
I've known more than my share of people with clinical depression, driven to commit suicide, to not allow me the luxury to partake in the fantasy you project. Every soul has a calling and purpose? What purpose does a spontaneously (naturally) aborted (miscarried) foetus have, often ejected without the mother even being aware?
I wish him no harm, but I also see no spiritual value in doing something very dangerous so others can gawk and see if you die. I see nothing in it that glorifies God.
Like this:
Math 6:5
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
I concur.
I would be curious if the money he raises goes to Christian charities. I will give him kudos for giving God the glory for his success, but with all of the things needed by people today, I can't see "walking across the Grand Canyon on a tightrope" as one of them.
As I stated, nobody could ever know because we are non-transcendent. You are talking about natural evil, things such as tsunamis and tornadoes that kill people, without other people being involved.
Unfortunately, there is a widespread delusion that God's purpose in creating this world was to craft us a nice little terrarium where nothing bad ever happens. Unfortunately it may be the case that for God's will to be carried out, we must live in a world saturated by evil.
In a world without God however, the baby you describe really has no objective moral value anyway. It has no soul, it is simply organic matter, no more valuable than a piglet or a caterpillar, as Richard Dawkins has described unborn babies. It really is a little self-refuting to deny God and then seem to mourn the suffering and death of other living creatures. Would you weep for a dead frog? If not, then why weep for a dead child? In a world in which only the natural exists, neither is more valuable than the other. You're simply projecting your own delusion of moral value that doesn't exist. Both are simply the product of biological reproduction, in the same cycle of life and death. It is all meaningless.
I hate the term.. " tempting God" as if He is looking for the excuse to reach out and bitch slap us..... That is so far from who He is to us....
He seems to me to be placing responsibility upon God to keep him alive. I would not do that. God does not fear death for us. And God does not require any one of us to, Himself, be in His Heaven.
The Lord doesn't need gimmicks and, as anyone who has studied physics knows, that pole is almost like having a handrail. But I won't suggest he do it without the pole, blindfolded, backwards, after drinking a fifth of Jack.
So the foetus was conceived and then aborted without anyone being aware as part of some divine plan? You contradict yourself when you claim at one instance that "every soul has a purpose" and then simultaneously state / imply that some don't get a chance to fulfil that "purpose" because it is a "fallen" world.
The lion cannot survive without the antelope being mauled to death. The "fallen" state is the default condition.
Who is a human to question the Creator? You don't know enough to ask the right questions, or understand if given an answer.
Do you know what happens to the infant (fetus) after the miscarriage? If not, how can you judge?
No, he is tempting gravity.
"Here! Hold my soda pop and watch this!"
Luke 4
1 Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.
3 And the devil said to Him, If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.
4 But Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
5 Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said to Him, All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7 Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.
8 And Jesus answered and said to him, Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.
9 Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. 10 For it is written:
He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you,
11 and,
In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
12 And Jesus answered and said to him, It has been said, You shall not tempt the LORD your God.
13 Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time.
So, the answer to the question contained in the headline is "yes."
That's not what I stated. You must understand the difference between 'natural evil' and 'human evil'. Human evil is very easy to explain. When a women has a 'doctor' kill her baby inside the womb, that is human evil. The woman has decided to take an evil action, and the 'doctor' has carried out a paid murder.
In this instance, as I see it (although other Christians may disagree), whatever purpose such a child might have had was indeed prevented by the evil of another person. This is free will, which I'm sure you understand. We would not want to be puppets, and God would have no use for such creatures anyway.
Natural evil, is a tougher subject, because no entity of this earth causes a hurricane, or a spontaneous miscarriage, yet these things are hideously destructive to human life. Now, there are two theories among theologians and philosophers with regard to natural evil.
A) Natural evil is the product of a fallen world. It is perfectly possible that we have to live in a harsh world, in order for God's purpose to be fulfilled. Some speculate that these things are the machinations of Satan. Personally, I don't really buy into that. I just think these things naturally occur in a fallen world.
B) Every event that occurs naturally in our environment has a reason for its occurrence. Nothing is random, there are no coincidences. I'm sure you've heard the old analogy about the butterfly's wings and the tornado, a key part of chaos theory. Small, seemingly insignificant events now, could have massive ramifications in the future. Who would have thought that a wrong turn by a driver in Austria-Hungary would eventually lead to the rise of Hitler, the Russian revolution, a lot of the current turmoil around the world, all knock-on effects of that spark that caused WWI?
Like I said, you and I are finite entities. Our lifespans are insignificant on this planet. We also do not transcend the universe, so we have no way of seeing the future. You might see a butterfly go past your window. How would you know that this might, through chain reaction, lead to just the right conditions for a cyclone off the coast of Fiji 100 years from now? You wouldn't.
You have not addressed the point that if the world with God is a "fantasy", then we really have no reason to give a hoot if a baby dies naturally, or by the hand of an abortion doctor.
The Wallendas have a family tradition of fouling up and plummeting to their demise, or at least those members of the family not related by blood. Only one Wallenda died that way, and he was 73 years old at the time.
If our lives and our awareness of our existence is all we have, then the value of life is magnified by its scarcity. Things that are limited in quantity are also the ones that become invaluable. So, if life is all you have, and death is certain, won't you work your best to beautify it, to have others help you beautify it, and promote reciprocity? Evolutionarily and logically, promoting this benefits you.
A god that creates a child to be born dead where its death goes unnoticed, is a failed god for indulging in a purposeless creation. You haven't really explained this problem that your belief has to square with.
that pole is almost like having a handrail ...
Until it starts to move.
"After his death-defying, history-making walk last year on a tightrope, several hundred feet above Niagara Falls...."
Sorry, but being hooked to a safety tether is NOT death defying. Now, what he's going to do tonight with no tether IS death defying,...unless of course he's wearing a parachute.
I think I have adequately explained that you have no way of knowing what purpose such an entity would have in anything it did, because you are not such an entity. It is like an insect watching through a window as a mathematician does calculus.
Your argument might work for preserving YOUR life, but children are born every day, all over the world. We have no reason to care about a child who dies or a man who commits suicide. And why would you promote reciprocity, especially if reciprocity is inconvenient for some individuals (e.g women who abort for financial reasons), and might deny them opportunities in life? If we die, and that is all, there is no logical purpose for our existence other than to indulge ourselves in as much pleasure as possible. We are simply a happy coincidence of evolution. We have no reason to concern ourselves with the continuance of the species. Why? What possible benefit could come to you by promoting reciprocity in others? A warm feeling inside that you helped the species? This is illusory.
When you place value on something, this is subjective to a large extent. One man's trash is another man's treasure. If Ted Bundy said that the lives of his victims had zero value, but you said that they had high value, who is right? He perceives the life as trash, you perceive it as treasure.
Now, in a world with God, Ted Bundy is wrong. Human life has objective moral value placed upon it by its creator, whose value is indisputable. Bundy has violated a commandment given from creator to creation.
In a world without God, neither you nor Bundy are right or wrong. You simply have a different assessment of the value of human life. Bundy is doing nothing more wrong than behaving unfashionably, or straying from the herd in his beliefs.
Reciprocity is simply a mechanical function of our nature, the same for all other animals. We are compelled to reproduce by biology. Our reproduction serves no greater purpose than a ferret's reproduction. Any greater value of our continuance that humans place, is illusory. At least, in a world without God.
And as a side note, reciprocity does help with our continuance as a species, BUT it is not necessary.
So you're wrong, it is absolutely necessary for reciprocity to exist, for you to be part of what you call civilisation.
Any behaviour that threatens the human social fabric in turn threatens its constituent individuals. This is why disparate cultures evolved laws against murder and theft, against premarital sex and fatherless child-rearing, if not without your god, then with other gods. So again, without invoking your specific god, Ted Bundy's acts would be seen as immoral simply because they threaten the social fabric, and damage trust and collaboration were the society to condone such behaviour.
Your argument might work for preserving YOUR life, but children are born every day, all over the world. We have no reason to care about a child who dies or a man who commits suicide. And why would you promote reciprocity, especially if reciprocity is inconvenient for some individuals (e.g women who abort for financial reasons), and might deny them opportunities in life?

We have no reason to concern ourselves with the continuance of the species. Why? What possible benefit could come to you by promoting reciprocity in others? A warm feeling inside that you helped the species? This is illusory.
Wrong. Caring for another's life fosters reciprocity. It builds trust and frees individuals from allocating all their resources against defense from one another, thus giving them a very tangible advantage in living and reproducing, totally in line with Darwinian evolution. Take a look at the nomad tribes in the world today. Without settling, their numbers are limited and even here, without collaboration, individuals don't stand a chance. If they do want to settle, collaboration by way of reciprocity is of paramount importance.
You neglect the evolutionary pressures that dominate our thinking and outlook, the ones geared to goad us into reproducing and raising offspring. A Muslim is devoted to raising a family in spite of following a wrong god, because of this. The evolutionary forces making people desire such an outcome are more universal than your specific religion, thus underlining the inherent truth of the former. The best environment for one's offspring to succeed in, is one that fosters reciprocity. Because you cannot always be there to protect them. This trust is not a mere luxury but a prime necessity. You pooh-pooh it as a "warm, fuzzy feeling" out of your incapacity to recognise its importance in your life, because you don't want your dogma to collapse under the weight of truth.
Your god in the voice of a man was happy in commanding men to slaughter infants in 1 Samuel 15:3. If you can excuse this, how can you say Satan is bad? Where did that inherent value of human life disappear suddenly, from those infants who couldn't possibly have done anything yet to earn them this fate? And if they did earn it because their "evil" was foreseen by your god, then why did it conceive them, and cause them to be birthed in the first place? And if they can be forced to a trial before the act was committed, why are you allowed a pass? Your dogma has holes that cannot be patched by logic and reason, and can only be given a pass by highly subjective bias.
This is just a worldly entertainment industry event. Simple as that. I really enjoy flying (private pilot), but, as of 18 yrs ago, I no longer attend airshows. After being present at one where a pilot died, I examined myself, thinking, "What purpose was it that made me want to come to this event?" The fleshly desire to be entertained.
I think it was a couple of years ago that a woman aerobatic pilot was killed, in NW Missouri, while practicing for her airshow routine. Structural failure ended her life. Her skills were not being honed for defense of the country, or for air ambulance/rescue; but just for entertainment of herself and others. She left behind two young sons.
People choose to do dangerous things, that are totally unnecessary, everyday; like riding a motorcycle without a helmet.
God does not tell the child of God to live recklessly like the world, but rather, to come out of it.
I wonder how God sees all the millions who will tune in just to see a man die.
Yeah I know, nobody likes to admit that that's why they'll watch, but if they just wanted to see a guy walk a straight line they could just as well watch a roadside DUI test.
There will be a ten second delay per news stories and they won't let those folks see that if it happens.
Haha. Well, you are definitely an atheist. The hatred towards any notion of God is palpable here. We'll probably have to agree to disagree in light of this, but I will remind you that this is not a Reddit forum.
My assertion had nothing to do with "civilization". You're moving the goal posts. We were talking about the continuance of our species. Indeed civilization is not necessary for species survival, or we would be the only living things on earth.
"Human advancement would be significantly stunted, were it not for reciprocity"
And... what was the point of this statement? You can find examples of creatures who practice cannibalism, and eat their own offspring. This is not reciprocity, yet the species continues to survive. I can see no reason to put a greater value on a large human population as opposed to a small human population in a world without God. In fact, larger populations often come with problems of their own.
"Any behaviour that threatens the human social fabric in turn threatens its constituent individuals"
This does not make it objectively wrong. If I choose not to care about those individuals or your "social fabric", and choose to place zero value on their lives, I can kill without any kind of moral qualms. In fact, there may be instances in which it is advantageous to me to kill them. I may gain something from a murder. The social fabric in your world is a construct of man, and all men being equal, your regard for it is no more valuable than my potential disregard for it. Again, we just have a different opinion, and any belief that your opinion is superior to Bundy's is merely unjustified moral elitism. You are essentially making a god out of yourself, deciding what is right and wrong.
"This is why disparate cultures evolved laws against murder and theft, against premarital sex and fatherless child-rearing"
This is perhaps the most shaky claim you just made. If "this" is an objective reality, true for all people, that actions not promoting reciprocity are not compatible with societies, then no society in the world would ever have done anything that didn't promote reciprocity. This is a ridiculous claim to make. Since humans have walked on the earth, there have been large societies that have undertaken horrific practices. Just look at the sacrificial rituals in ancient American societies. These civilizations did not collapse because of a lack of reciprocity, in fact they functioned well without it. Other factors caused their demise.
When you descend into petty attacks on the Christian God as a murderer, you really exit the realms of logic and attempt to fight a battle occupying two worlds. You're applying the judgements of a world without God to a world with God. In a world with God, no action taken by God could be evil, no matter how you might perceive it as a finite, non-transcendent being. Once you enter a world in which God exists, you cannot ignore the reality of such a being's nature. How can I not excuse any evil action taken by Satan? You seem to misunderstand what Satan is. He is a creation himself. If he carries out an evil act, it is no different to you or me carrying out an evil act. He is not a god. Indeed, he got his ass kicked out of Heaven by God.
"You pooh-pooh it as a "warm, fuzzy feeling" out of your incapacity to recognise its importance in your life, because you don't want your dogma to collapse under the weight of truth"
And you value it because of your incapacity to recognize that any importance you place on it is illusory. You might compare it to someone in the Matrix who does not even want to think that everything is virtual because the Matrix has a "social fabric" and the world outside does not.
Of course, this is in a world without god. A world in which you and I are no more important than the salmon, having evolved through biological accident. Our species will eventually become extinct, if not through our own doing or some cataclysm, then in the heat death of the universe.
I would also like to point out that this isn't something I am just concocting, this is the opinion of atheist scholars! It's part of a very popular theory of 'metaphysical naturalism'. Alex Rosenberg in his works argues that nothing has any meaning, even sentences, and any apprehension of morality or "right and wrong" are illusions of the human mind. Michael Ruse has also argued that "morality has no foundation". There is a reason intellectual atheists are roughly split on whether to acknowledge objective morality or not. Those who don't want to have to defend its incompatibility with atheism, often abandon it.
I would go on, but I fear I may be wasting my time. I have a feeling that you could witness a miracle first hand and you would still not believe in anything beyond the "social fabric" which must be maintained for unknown reasons. Have a good day, man. :)
I can't even look out a high rise window without the feeling of falling.......so I don't do it.
Oh, so if they WANT to but CAN'T then they'll be OK.
Got it.
1 Samuel 15:3.
You conveniently skipped it.
Like I said, if you want to criticize God's actions, you first have to acknowledge His nature, that nothing God does could ever be evil. You aren't doing this.
In the same way, you could never say that Satan had done something good, because in acknowledging his existence, you would acknowledge that his nature prohibits any good.
There are plenty of passages you could cite where God does things that, if done by a man, would be questionable. You're viewing God as some kind of non-transcendent entity like a king.
I'm pretty sure Nik Wallenda doesn't monopolize God's full attention.
And therein lies the rub!
Based on your subjective choice of whose mythology you accept as your god, all its actions become "moral" in your sight. Just as you equated the slaughter of the infants by a man who heard another man say that his god wanted him to do it, as "moral" since you chose to believe this is what your chosen god wanted, so too can a Muslim make arguments about the violent commandments in the Quran.
Ultimately, it's all subjective and the acts of your god become "good" just because you've retroactively chosen to define what "good" is to allow this chosen god of yours, a moral pass.
I'm not entirely convinced this is coherent. You seem to have the process ass backwards. It's not that I have chosen to define what good is. Good... IS GOD. I cannot judge good from bad on an objective level any more than you can. Of course it's not subjective, because I didn't write the law that says "you shall not bear false witness". God did. If I had written this law, it would be a subjective one.
If it was as you say, my religion would have 100s of commandments, because it would be shaped around what I want, but it isn't. It was shaped long before me by God. I have nothing to do with it.
"So too can a Muslim make arguments about the violent commandments in the Quran"
You seem to think this is some sort of good point, when really it isn't. If Islam is the true religion, and the true vision of God's nature, then yes, Muslims would be absolutely justified to follow those words in the Quran...
But I don't believe Islam to be true, and I don't think the arguments for its truth are very convincing, just like atheism's arguments. For instance, I don't think "Allah" has the same great making properties as the Christian God. He is not all-loving. This is a deficiency no god should have.
I'm not sure why we're continuing. You hold a deep-seated belief that there is no God, and I hold the opposite to be true. It's hardly likely we're going to agree on anything in this field.
You said:
"I don't think..."
"I don't believe..." and so on, all based on SUBJECTIVE reasoning.
An all-loving god cannot order a man to slaughter infants conceived to be born, but extinguished before they can exercise free will (this is a deficiency no true god can afford to have). Or indulge in other barbarism. If you think it's good for your god to order so, then even your definition of "love" becomes subjective, trapping you into that same circular logic used to define what "good" is.
Besides, all your information about your god was derived from human sources, beyond the hundredth hand. As such, you must have greater faith in the ability of mere men transmitting you that information without corruption than the faith you have in your deity. Why would a true god arrange for the circumstances to be such that you are dependent on your faith in human integrity to build upon it your faith in the very deity? Your faith is a subjective choice, more to do with the randomness of the things that defined your geography and history than with any objective reasoning on your part.
In using terms like "think" and "believe", even novice debaters know that those terms are used to assert a way in which we perceive something. If I say that "I believe there is a country called Japan", this is not some wild assertion just because I have said that I believe it. I have good evidence to back up the claim. Not only do I know that Japan is a country, but I believe it because I know it.
You ignore chaos theory (the butterfly effect) in your assertion that an all-loving god "could not" do something you deem to be terrible. You have no way of knowing if one child's death might save millions of children hundreds of years later. As I have already stated, your definition of "barbarism" is subjective itself. You are playing god by trying to apply your own ideas of right and wrong (which frankly are no more relevant than a sadist's) to God. From an atheistic viewpoint, these children who would die are just biological matter anyway, similar to any other kind of biological matter you might find in a garden.
Any value you might place on such children, is simply the result of social conditioning and chemical reactions in the brain you might call 'empathy'. In reality though, the dying child is of no value.
"If you think its good for your god to order so"
You're again appealing to my own subjective morality, which I have not appealed to.
Your reasoning is as follows
I believe it to be good -—> it was good when God did it
When the logical reason that would follow from a situation in which God actually existed is as follows
God did it -—> it was good because God did it, even if the goodness is not apparent to me as a finite, non-transcendent being.
You then go on to the old attacks on the historicity of these accounts. Why would God wish me to trust in the Gospels, instead of appearing to me at night in a flowing robe and saying "see, I exist". Well, there would be no point to my life here on earth if this was the case, unless I was some kind of prophet. Why wouldn't God just create me in Heaven, and give me the same awareness of Him?
This is you, again, trying to make out that you could understand the workings of a mind that transcended space and time. "why didn't God do this?" "why didn't God do that?". I used the example before of a bug staring in at a mathematician, trying to figure out why he draws a line instead of a circle. Even if the bug were capable of coherent thought, it would be impossible for him to comprehend anything that the mathematician was doing. Your relationship to God would be similar.
Have you ever trusted anything you have heard? How many experiments described in textbooks have you carried out yourself? You trust that people who write these things (however fantastic some seem) are being honest. Look at history. The vast majority of historical knowledge we have comes from accounts. We haven't gone back in time to see exactly which day Ceaser died, but we take the accounts of his death on good faith.
Don't take my word for it though. Let's consult the experts in the field of which we're talking about. There is no physical evidence that Jesus Christ ever existed. I can't show you his body, nor can I present a video or a photograph of him at the beach. Despite this however, the vast majority of historians today, of all faiths and backgrounds, will tell you that Jesus of Nazareth was a real person. Granted, a small minority of historians deny his existence, but a small minority of historians also deny the Holocaust.
If you want to argue that they've got it all wrong, and that we cannot believe anybody existed unless we have scientifically measurable confirmation of their existence because the source might be "corrupt", then that's okay, but I don't think it carries much weight intellectually. Is it possible that Jesus was simply a legend, that his followers lied, or that his followers themselves were imaginary? I guess. But this doesn't seem like a very likely conclusion.
"Your faith is a subjective choice, more to do with the randomness of the things that defined your geography and history than with any objective reasoning on your part"
And your lack of belief was not shaped at all by these things? None of the atheistic influences you may have had would have failed to reach you had you grown up somewhere else? Tough to believe to say the least.
I wonder if some people think it would be better if there were no God, thus guaranteeing -— guaranteeing -—that those lives would have no possible meaning, no better denouement?
Bingo. I have a relative who is Jewish and will not go to Germany because of the holocaust, also, he doesn't believe in God because why would God allow such a thing to happen? Well, what if the appx. 6 million deaths from the holocaust allowed billions of other lives to exist?
I have a couple of kittehs who are incredibly intelligent (for a cat or Democrat) but us understanding an infinite God whose perception of time we will never understand in this lifetime much like my cats will never understand something like the TV remote. Time for us is linear, I'm sure everyone would like to go back in time to correct a mistake but it isn't happening, for us time goes one way. Now, I don't know how God experiences time or whether time even exists for him and with our linear version of time, we'll never know how God sees time until we see him.
We know he can look forward to future events but much like the character Paul Atredes in the book Dune, he can see time and it is a curse for him because he knows how everything is going to happen, no surprises. Even after he's blinded in the 2nd book, he still walks and acts like he can see because he sees the future which makes me think that God, if he chooses can see every single event that will happen but I think he only looks at the big picture because I think he would like to be surprised. Incidentally, I didn't come up with this idea, Frank Herbert who wrote the Dune series did.
Otherwise, why doesn't God call in all our markers and move on to the thousand year reign of Christ?
Praise the Lord that Nik Wallenda made it safely across the canyon tonight.
An attention whore with a death wish? Thank you, no.
Thank you for that theory. I hadn't ever considered this idea of God keeping some future events from even himself. Would this be logically consistent for an entity that was omniscient by nature?
Time as we understand it only exists in our universe. God as described by Alvin Plantinga would have certain properties, among them spacelessness and timelessness.
Since God transcends the universe, he cannot require time or space to exist. He has to be able to exist entirely without the presence of the universe, similar to abstract objects.
You understand how foolish it is for us to try and apply our very sub-standard understanding of the universe and its workings to an entity that transcends space and time. There is simply no way we could ever comprehend such a being's reason and thought in our current state. In fact, I would guess even in our state beyond this finite life, when we are joined with God, we will not understand Him completely although our knowledge with be cosmic compared to what it is now. Lucifer, who was also at least a semi-transcendental entity seemed to be ignorant of God's design and ability despite being with Him, beyond the natural world.
As it relates to the Holocaust and the Jews, it's important to look at this in the context of Biblical history. The Jews were enslaved in Egypt for over 400 years, and as we learn, there is a grand design and purpose behind this. Certain contingencies had to be met regarding the Canaanites. The dimmest flame of faith and devotion had to be snuffed out through toil and suffering before the inferno of commitment to God was ignited. The Hebrews witnessed the miracles of God firsthand as they were freed and Egypt fell into ruin.
If the Holocaust had not occurred, what would the world look like today, particularly the Middle East and Israel. What would Israel's population look like? Would it even exist? There are so many variables that its impossible to say. Then you have the problem of human evil. Was the Holocaust simply Hitler's exercising of free will to do unspeakable evil? Were the events that led to his rise part of a butterfly effect themselves, putting the right man in the right place at the right time?
It is fascinating to ponder such things. Some argue that God removes all mystery. That He is a way of explaining away tough questions. I think on the contrary, God's existence raises even more questions for us to puzzle over. In the end, we only have one piece of a jigsaw almost infinite in size. We might know where it goes, but we can never see what image it is a part of.
Just because yu don't know, doesn't mean there's not a reason.
But perhaps setting the stage for the next baby to come along, who might not have had the pregnancy continued.
I believe I miscarried once but was not sure. A couple months later got pregnant with my youngest daughter. Had the other suspected pregnancy occurred, Yes, I would have had a different child, but obviously, to me, God has a plan for THIS one, the one I have now, who would not exist under different circumstances.

I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
stick to ya guns PaulB! Synopsis of what you said earlier. With the culmination of the series at large, this wasn't a horrible chapter. Not Great, but not "did he even try this chapter?" either. In "Real-time" these events are understandable. Cheesy, but financially forgivable and semi-realistic.....with the exception being that none of this is realistic!
Come-on, every crew has that "c'mon Lets do this!!!" guy. He's usually the first person to get beat up, but still he exist. That's Hashirama except he's the best of the best, so he can have cheesy lines. If Bruce Lee ever said "Everybody lets give it our all!!" as cheesy as it sounds, I'd say "well shit.......I'ma give it "ALL" of these few punches and after that I'm tired, but I'ma try.....I will try......only because its you Hashirama....My stamina not what it used to be, my knee is bad, my back hurts, for f#cks sake you're gotd@mn zombie a$$hole this doesn't affect you!
Yay, Shikamaru is alive!!! R.I.P.........Neji, that was his name I remember now, the only casualty of this war! Poor Neji. Is it Karma that he told Naruto what he told him about destiny? Or..................was it Kubo saying...well somebody got to die???
My only knock is that he could have had more panels of Naruto screaming at Obito, who wouldn't love that? Apparently ninja don't use stealth anymore. Or yes, one or two panels of Saskue's eyeball wouldn't have hurt, gotta love those tomes.
Edit: I feel bad cause I called Kishi, Kubo. I do that a lot, but don't mean to. It's the "K". Anyway's It's sad Naruto is about to end. I wish Kishi did it like Stan Lee...allow writers to come in and expand on other character's. He had a great run though

@Daemon Spade,
I still do love the chapter as I had said, but as an elder statesman I see no value in pushing my views too hard over something I do for fun. And Yes, these sort of expressions of approval that Naruto is receiving are quite okay in the context of the final chapters of the series.
Funny I never realized you had called Kishi Kubo, until you said so.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Im glad im not the only one who sees the significance in these chapters. Kishimoto is not out to milk his series for money by needlessly extending chapters. Dragon Ball Z once ended a long time ago, but the creators make tons of money off the series each year. The same could easily go for Naruto if thats really all he cared for. He likes to please his fans with fan service, that much i will not deny, but there is always an underlying purpose in his works that arent always revealed right away. Some don't reveal themselves for years, but these last few chapters certainly had significant purpose.
For the first time in history, the ninja world truly is one. It went from a few people knowing his story and his pain, to every ninja on that battlefield knowing his past and his suffering. It is because of this that not just a few key ninja accept Naruto as a vital piece in the worlds future, but every ninja on the front lines sees him in the same light. People from all over the world, uniting and fighting together as brothers, and not adversaries. This dream has been passed on through the ages, never to be realized until today. Evil forces forced the hands of the ninja around the world to temporarily join together to defeat a greater evil, but now a boy named Naruto has become the glue that unites all of the puzzle pieces, and brings them together to become one.
Naruto is fulfilling the dreams and wills of many ninja who came before, and many who will come after. I love some good action, but I can thoroughly appreciate the message Kishimoto is trying to portray. It is one of the many reasons why I.Love.This.Manga..!
Well now I can't deny that Naruto like other shounen manga is a little death shy, what with characters surviving things that would be lethal for those of us who exist in the real world. However there is a certain shounen manga, one of the big three that I won't mention by name that is much more death shy than Naruto. It has had characters frequently survive attacks and wounds that really should be lethal even in a fantasy world, things like being slashed in the throat with a sword, being crushed between a golden bell and a giant golden sphere, being launched miles away into the ocean (for characters who can't swim and are like hammers in water, how can they possibly not drown before someone comes to rescue them), etcetera.
Even though Naruto has had it's fair share of revivals Kabuto's edo tensei frenzy drove home how many characters have genuinely died in since part one. Heck Zabuza and Haku died fairly early in the series.
As for everyone saying that Naruto is close to being concluded, I would have to say
It's one thing to win a war but winning the peace is another matter altogether. Just ask a certain imbecile head of state who waged two unnecessary wars in the previous decade that dragged on and became an embarrassment. What I'm getting at is that I sense a timeskip which shows the Naruto-verse where Naruto is Hokage but deals with the challenges of preventing the world around him from returning to it's previously divided state when there is no longer a common enemy threatening everyone's existence. Sasuke's already been mooted as the next Madara, so really the possibility of Naruto: the hokage chronicles depends on whether Sasuke decides to return to the leaf and not be an asshole or to turn his back on Naruto and the leaf and to seek a path to peace that uses force to get a consensus. Orochimaru is back in the picture so with him to whisper evil nothings into Sasuke's ears, so hijinks are bound to happen.
I realize that we each come from different backgrounds, setting, and even countries, so we will naturally see things differently. For me personally, I don't care for too much dying, and realism, Not that I can't handle it, but I have seen quite enough of this in Realty, therefor I prefer less in my fun activities.
I agree with Bluntman's comment and his references to death scenes we saw in naruto. For me the anime version of Sandaime's funeral was rather touching, I also became teary eyed when Asuma and Jiraiya died.
After all is said and done we are all passengers on this bus and our driver Kishi will take us where he wants to go. I just hope that all of us will have a more or less satisfactory ending to this Tale that we have been following for so very long.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Asuma dying also sucked. He was awesome.
Sasuke's reaction towards learning the truth about Itachi (when Obito told him), gave me the feels too.
I think Neji's Death Scene was brushed off to soon, it wasn't that sad, it was WAY to short in my opinion.

Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
A little weak chap for me specially that OP is coming off a break. Dofla being part of the tenryubito wasn't THAT surprising.
sig made by me
^ Hmmm.... That Doflamingo does act a lot like a tenryubito, but I'm not quite sure he is one (Even if it would make sense). After all, if he was a tenryubito, who is that one high up that he is working for in the world government? If he is a tenryubito, then is it his dad?
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
I think he was working with and not for Vegapunk. It's not confirmed but the dude he was talking to is probably him. Dofla needs VP's tech for his business and being part of the the tenryubito has nothing to do with it.
One thing's for sure. being a pirate and an underground powerhouse who wants to be PK, he probably was cast-off from Marijoa and yet he could still ask for help from them, he must be highly connected.
sig made by me
I agree he must be highly connected. I think we might get an insight of the hystorie behind the tenrybito. explaining hwo they came in to power. maybe the early family of donfla got banned or something i don't know just saying.... So in a why i think donfla want's to be the PK to setlle things ones and for all. He defintly knows more of the hystorie of the one piece world.
Anywho this chapter goes to SANJIII. What a persistent guy. he really is nothing against a woman
Finally I'd love to see Luffy's battle!!! But the thing is what was the point of wearing a disguise because once luffy starts to fight he'll defintly be recognized by his DF. But I guess you can say it had is use
....You know, this is the first "eye power" in One Piece (unless hawkeye has an eye power, but I think that is just skill). Funny how this shows up at the same time Japan is going through that whole eye licking fetish thing XP.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Gotta agree with the fact it was a weak chapter.
Sanji was a hero here.. His weakness for woman was once again displayed :p.
Well who is gonna start the ''Violet for new nakama'' thing?
You Become Someone, By Doing Something.
Just.. Epic.
So Sanji's pervertedness protected his mind? Wonder what Violet will see when she looks at Luffy or Zoro. Two Idiots should not have anything going in there mind. Luffy would probably be food and Zoro would be Lifting weights or swords.
Violets powers seem to stem from her eyes. Wonder if she will lose her DF ability if she loses her sight?
CP-0's appearance can be for two things. One being Doflamingo's pull with the Tenryuubito forced their appearance or, two, Doflamingo promised the Tenryuubito Luffy's head if they aid his plan.
So we finally know who ranks higher between the Tenryuubito annd the Gorosei.......... the Tenryuubito.
Is Doflamingo a member of the Tenryuubito? I think not, but it does seem so at the end of this chapter. If anything, It could be that he holds some of their secrets, or a more fun theory is that assuming he has the puppet puppet fruit, he has made one member of the Tenryuubito his puppet and is exerting influence by controlling them. Very Interested to see how it goes.
Am I the only one that thinks the way the Chapter ended, it looks like Joker might be attacked/betrayed by Doflamingo?
Mangastream Translation
A million times better translation ^_^. Look's like Violet's tears are made of iron
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Horrible chapter after a break. Where is the fighting man c'mon, he took 3 weeks off in the past 5 weeks & put out 2 lousy chapters.

Have you ever dreamed of camping on an exotic tropical island, where soft sea waves gently wash up on a white sand beach? From underneath tall tropical palm trees, you can watch a glorious sunrise from the front of your campsite and a spectacular sunset from the back. When a full moon rises, it lights a path to an inky sky crammed full of bright stars. Just such an island, where millionaires and celebrities once spent their time fishing, is available today to campers, at a bargain!
Many an angler has gone in quest of the elusive bonefish. Now you can do the same. Simply walk a few hundred feet from your camp into the shallow waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Carry nothing more than a spinning rod and reel. Bait your hook with a live crab or shrimp, cast it out and hang on tight.

Taking your Dogs Camping with Ghosts
(The pleasures of off-season camping with your dogs)
This November, I was out playing on a campground playground with my 20 month old daughter, Rose, and she started acting very strangely. She asked me to pick her up and then she buried her head into me, like she does when she meets a new person. I looked around to see if someone was there, but I didn't see anyone at all. In fact, we were the only campers in the entire wooded campground. However, she kept looking at a certain spot by the restrooms and acting shy. Now, I am not a very suspicious person, but I started getting nervous. So, I immediately trotted back to the RV and got my German Shepherd, Lilac, then proceeded back to the playground to play. Was it a ghost? I don't know, but I do know that for the next two weeks, we really enjoyed the entire campground to ourselves––but we always made sure that Lilac was outside with us!

Keeping It On the Level
Simple Steps to Leveling Your RV.
I remember the first time I saw it……I was amazed. That huge motor home, slowly making its way through the campground, gently rocking as it wound its way to the temporary site. Effortlessly, the pilot backed into the campsite and shut the unit down. Before the entry door was even opened I saw four strange looking legs of steel being thrust ground–ward like some type of morphing kid's toy. With a slight, subtle shudder, the coach settled into a perfectly level position. Yep, automatic levelers, electric or hydraulic are a luxury to be admired. But what about the rest of us? What exactly do we do when we set up camp after each traveling day?
Well, before addressing the basics of leveling your RV, let's understand why the rig needs to be leveled in the first place. Certainly our camping comfort is at issue. It would not be appealing to sleep with our heads lower than our feet or to be constantly struggling to keep from rolling into the wall or worse yet, the spouse. And consider the inconvenience of having the eggs roll off the galley countertop every morning.

Travelers who carry firearms on a regular basis know full well the variant nature of this situation. A routine traffic stop for a speeding violation could turn into a nightmare journey through the criminal justice system if the traveler isn't aware of the proper way to carry or transport his firearms in a vehicle. This is a must-have resource for any RVer or camper who plans to carry a firearm for protection while traveling within the state or across the stateline. Firearms laws vary from state to state, so know what you can and can't do before it's too late.

Hi, folks,
Since it's time for many of us to put our rigs into storage, I tried to include some questions along that line. For those of you in more temperate climates, I hope you get out and enjoy your RV! I also want to wish all of you the happiest of holidays, and I look forward to answering your questions throughout the New Year!
If you are planning to be in Quartzsite in January, or if you live nearby, be sure to consider attending the Quartzsite / Southern Arizona RVers' Boot Camp! We will be holding the event in Gila Bend, just a couple of hours away, on January 25 – 27, 2010. The program includes training in RV maintenance and operation, tire and weight safety, fire and life safety, RV driving, and more. For more info, visit the Boot Camp page at
. I hope to see you there!
We have a Fleetwood Bayside pop-up. When we opened it up this spring, we found there was a lot of damage from mice getting in and chewing holes in the screens, plastic window coverings, curtains, and canvas. Luckily, the wiring wasn't damaged. We tried using dryer sheets in all the cracks, crevices and openings, as suggested by fellow campers, but the critters seemed to ignore the dryer sheets and got inside anyway. The camper is being repaired right now, but soon we'll be storing the camper for the winter, and we're afraid of the same thing happening again. Do you have any tips for keeping mice out of a camper? We've had the camper for three to 4 four years, but this is the first time this sort of thing has happened. Thank you, Carol
Hi, Carol:
The best way to prevent a rodent infestation is to mechanically exclude them. That means plugging every potential access hole or gap in your RV's exterior. You can use expanding foam reinforced with hardware cloth or steel mesh, steel wool, or sheet metal. It can be a formidable task, but, unfortunately, most other methods are less than 100 percent effective. Repellents may or may not work, and many typically suggested repellents (dryer sheets, moth balls, etc.) seem to work better for some folks than others. Poison can be effective, but only if placed inside the rig and all sources of water inside are removed. These poisons dehydrate the mice, causing them to seek water outside the rig. This is supposed to prevent them from dying inside your RV. The key word here is "supposed." If you decide that poison is appropriate, go to a local feed or agricultural supply store rather than the supermarket to buy it. The industrial-grade product is cheaper and more effective.

Woodall's Campsite Cookbook
1 package gingerbread mix
1 15 ½ ounce can French vanilla pudding
½ cup water
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon rind
Prepare gingerbread mix as directed on package. Pour into greased 9–inch square baking pan. Combine pudding with water, lemon juice and lemon rind. Spoon mixture over gingerbread. Bake at 350° F for 45 minutes. Cool at least 30 minutes before serving.
Reusing Common Household Items
In this day and age, most people recycle their paper, glass and plastic items. Yet the concept of re–using those same items can help reduce the garbage problemm–and provides you with new re–purpose possibilities that benefit you, your house and RV.
Baby food and small jars—Do you tend to RV with your family, which includes babies or toddlers? Those baby jars can add up during a trip, so consider keeping small jars with sturdy lids to store spices or liquids in the pantry. For the do–it–yourselfer, the small jars can keep nails and thumbtacks organized.
Aluminum foil—Simply rinse and re–use after keeping food warm, or wad pieces up to clean baked–on food inside pans. You can also layer used foil and cut with scissors to sharpen knife blades.
Paper bags—Versatile re–uses for paper include cooling cookies (instead of using waxed paper), organizing other recycling and covering textbooks. If the kids need a last–minute costume, paper works well.
Socks—Whether it's an old pair, or half of a pair, you can use socks as dusting rags, or as a heating pad. Fill the sock with rice, sew the end and warm it in the microwave. Have a pet? Convert the sock into a tug toy for your dog by tying knots in the sock, or fill it with catnip for your cat.

Fire Starters: How to Get a Campfire Blazing
Warmth, light, the ability to dry your wet socks, cook your food, purify your water and signal for help. All these are benefits of having a nice campfire. But getting that fire started is often a daunting task. That's why there are fire starters.
When we talk about fire starters, we aren't discussing waterproof matches or cigarette lighters — those are ignition systems.

The Wrong Restroom at Daisy State Park
I had an unusual experience while on a camping trip at Daisy State Park in Arkansas. Please note, the names have been changed to protect the innocent (and prevent receiving obscene messages from the "not so innocent"). I was in the restroom taking care of business when the door opened and my wife stepped in. I wondered at the time why she was in the men's room. She made a comment about the atmosphere in the room at the time. I don't know her exact comment, but you can use your imagination here.

text: I spent a little time chatting with an MIT economics professor, who has noted that the administration's economic policy is now evident–it entails using Professor Harold Hill's Think Method. In short, if you believe that the economy is improving, then it will. Submitted as evidence, he noted, is the consumer confidence index. this is a strange devise by which people are asked if they are feeling confident enough in the economy to go spending, and then the number of people who say "yes" somehow are expected to indicate a general mood of the economy. The problem with this index is that it doesn't account for mass delusion and the madness of crowds. As the Professor was pointing out, the people who feel that they want to go out and shop, and who are certain that jobs are on the way,�may not be reacting to reasonable indices, but rather to a sense of euphoria unrelated to the economy. If 53% of the people feel like going out to shop, it may reflect the same 53% who voted for the administration, and the surge of confidence may be based upon a deluded sense that the administration has a plan to make things better, and that jobs will magically appear as a result of an election. the problem is, that this 53% tends not to be the people who generate economic activity. So if 47% of Americans are down on the economy, and those are the 47% who create the jobs, and create the economic factors for recovery, no amount of "confidence" amongst consumers has any meaning whatsoever. But it is a great idea if all else fails–let's just think jobs, and maybe they will appear.

Jean Tschumi Architecture At Full Scale & Architecture Concepts: Red Is Not A Color
Published byon
Jean Tschumi Architecture At Full Scale
Jacques Gubler
Milan, Italy: Skira Books, 2008
Architecture Concepts: Red Is Not A Color
Bernard Tschumi
New York, NY: Rizzoli Books, 2012
In his foreword to the monograph on Jean Tschumi his son Bernard writes: "As a young child I often heard him alluding to the continuum of architecture, with its play of possibilities and grounding material resonance, in his repeated declaration that architecture, even if it was "un métier de…(expletive)", was still "le plus beau métier du monde (the most beautiful craft in the world)." The two publications when placed next to one another show more than just a continuum of architecture but also the continuation of a family tradition. Gubler's publication shows the evolution of an architect from traditional and craft based design (while working for such luminaries as Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann or Edgar Brandt) and to a modernist vocabulary as evidenced in his design for the Nestlé Headquarters. Bernard Tschumi's book reveals a different (and still on-going) progression equally fascinating. Rather than examining an oeuvre chronologically it uses not the traditional drawing or water color of his father's generation but rather the collage and digital images of our time to explore and illustrate concepts underlying competition designs and completed projects throughout the world. The two publications individually but particularly placed next to one another symbolize the continuum of architecture and confirms that architecture (and its preservation) remains "le plus beau métier du monde."

Prunus Collingwood Ingram is a small Japanese Cherry tree, originally bred from Prunus Kursar and at a young age has slightly bronze-tinted leaves. As this tree matures, it offers deep pink, single flowers quite early in spring across a canvas of toothed, dark-green leaves before turning a bright orange colour in autumn.
Captain Collingwood Ingram (known as Cherry Ingram) was a plant collector with world authority and a lifelong interest in Japanese Cherries. He bred many cherries at RHS Wisley. Prunus Collingwood Ingram is a dainty, upright, erect tree with an elegant habit reaching an approximate height and spread of 5 x 4 metres in 20 years and can tolerate most soil types.
AKA Blossom Tree, Cherry blossom tree, Ornamental Cherry, Prunus Collingwood Ingram, Japanese Cherry tree
Delivery timescales
99% of deliveries made within a week of placing the order (other than agreed pre orders) and many are despatched on the day we receive the order. There is a slightly longer delivery timescale on trees over 2.5m in height (all the trees called Standard, Premium Standard, Heavy Standard or Extra Heavy Standard, all called Mature Trees) because normal "next day" carriers find them too large to handle so we have to group orders together into geographic areas for a haulage contractor to deliver and this all takes a bit of scheduling (but it's worth it when you see these wonderful mature trees!).
Gift trees required for arrival on a specific date (or indeed any tree required for delivery on a specific date) can be accommodated with pleasure and at no extra charge - we normally plan to deliver a day or two before the special day just to be on the safe side and although we really don't like to give ourselves wriggle room (because we so rarely need it!), we do have to say that we accept no legal responsibility for late deliveries.
Bare root trees and fruit bushes can only be dispatched from mid-November - mid April/late April (depending on weather conditions) and whilst they are dormant.
The vast majority of trees are sent on a 'no signature required' basis, so there's no need to be in to receive your order unless we contact you (normally just the most mature trees where the driver may need help getting the tree/trees off the vehicle). You can give us instructions on where to leave your delivery either via the checkout or send us a separate email.
Trees are packed very carefully by our experienced team and delivered using couriers who've been tried and tested over many years.
Our nursery is a busy despatch centre and therefore customers need to make an appointment to collect or view trees. For collections despatch charges will be refunded.
Delivery costs
Orders for our popular range of 1.5/2.0m height trees to UK mainland ex Highlands have a delivery charge of £9.95 plus vat (Highlands charge will be applied in the check out). Smaller trees/bushes are charged at £6.95 plus vat (again Highlands charge applied in the check out). On orders for several trees, delivery costs increase to £12.95 (and honestly that doesn't nearly cover what it costs us in cardboard and carriage charges!) but you can buy several trees (or hundreds of trees if you wish) for the same delivery cost. Highlands charges start to get a bit expensive if you require several trees which our customers in the Highlands will be well aware of - we wish we could help more but you're such a long way from Yorkshire!
Mature trees are more expensive to deliver and cost varies by postcode but again you can buy more than one tree for the same delivery cost so if you do need 2 or more, and particularly if you are planting a good number of trees, it works out to be really economical. Delivery costs are calculated automatically in the shopping trolley so try adding an extra tree or bush for no extra delivery charge.
Northern Ireland, Channel Islands and overseas destinations
Our courier charges are not viable for just one or two trees but if you have a larger requirement please do speak to us and we'll do what we can to get trees to you at a reasonable cost.
When planting Flowering Cherry trees, such as this Prunus Collingwood Ingram, it is important to prepare the planting area well. Pot grown flowering cherry trees can be planted at any time of the year.
To prepare the site, remove all weeds and grass within a metre of your desired planting hole. Dig a hole as deep as your root mass and approximately 1.5 sizes wide. We recommend digging a square hole as this encourages the roots to grow straight as opposed to around inside the hole. To help your tree establish more effectively, we advise applying root grow (sprinkle in the hole for pot grown trees), especially if you have poor soil. Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Using 50% of the original soil and 50% compost, fill in the hole and firm around gently. Make sure not to bank the soil up around the collar of the tree as this can cause problems. We recommend using a stake and tie when planting, which will ensure your roots are well anchored. To see how to use a tree stake and tie, watch our informational how to videos.
If you're planting in dry weather, water well and regularly for the first few months. The same goes for spring and summer planting. Make sure to keep an eye on your young tree and increase watering if there are extended periods of warm or dry weather. If you're planting in autumn, you may only need to water your tree a little, make sure not to over water.
Once planted, it is important to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass for the first 3 years. Using a glyphosate based weed killer or installing mulch matting and bark chips will aid in this. Do not simply mow the grass around the area as this will only encourage it to grow more vigorously.
If you know your area is prone to rabbits, we would advise using a rabbit guard.
Although it is possible to simply leave your Flowering Cherry tree to its own devices, it can be encouraged by gentle pruning. If you prune your tree for the first few years it will create a more balanced branch framework. Prune after flowering i.e. after the petals have dropped but before the new shoot growth appears.
After two to three years, you will only need to remove any damaged or unwanted branches. However, the formative pruning that you have already carried out will have led to a healthier tree, less likely to need this.

Mike Tindall returns to the Gloucester starting line-up to face Biarritz Olympique in the Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-final.
Mike Tindall returns to the Gloucester starting line-up to face Biarritz Olympique in the Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-final.
Tindall partnering Henry Trinder in the midfield is one of three changes in the Gloucester backline. Martyn Thomas starts at full-back in place of Rob Cook and Dave Lewis at scrum-half instead of Dan Robson.
Jim Hamilton is ruled out by the ankle injury he picked up against Harlequins last Friday and is replaced in the second row by Will James, while Nick Wood starts at loosehead to complete the changes.
It's another game that Gloucester will play under the Kingsholm floodlights, and Director of Rugby Nigel Davies stated this week that it's a great stage for his team to perform upon.
"Night games create a real element of theatre at Kingsholm I think, it really changes the atmosphere and adds an extra layer of drama," said Davies.
"There's a real buzz about the club. We've worked very hard to get this home quarter final against one of the premier teams in European rugby.
"We'll be kicking off the quarter final stages, the first televised game so it's really exciting for us.
"Biarritz have hit some good form recently, and so have we. It's a different challenge for us having been battling away in the Premiership. But it's a home quarter-final and it doesn't get much better than this."
Meanwhile, Biarritz have made four changes to the team that beat Grenoble in the Top 14 last week.
All four are in the pack as the Basques line-up a fresh front-row. Francisco Gomez Kodela, Arnaud Heguy and Eugene Van Staden take over from Benoit August, Thomas Synaeghel and Ben Broster.
In the back-row, Tanguy Molcard starts in the place of Thibault Dubarry.
The bench features the return of lock Pelu Lan Taele.
The teams:
Gloucester: 15 Martyn Thomas, 14 Charlie Sharples, 13 Henry Trinder, 12 Mike Tindall (c), 11 Jonny May, 10 Freddie Burns, 9 Dave Lewis, 8 Sione Kalamafoni, 7 Akapusi Qera, 6 Tom Savage, 5 Will James, 4 Lua Lokotui, 3 Shaun Knight, 2 Koree Britton, 1 Nick Wood.
Replacements: 16 Huia Edmonds, 17 Dan Murphy, 18 Dario Chistolini, 19 Andy Hazell, 20 Gareth Evans, 21 Dan Robson, 22 Billy Twelvetrees, 23 Shane Monahan.
Biarritz: 15 Marcelo Bosch, 14 Takudzwa Ngwenya, 13 Benoit Baby, 12 Damien Traille, 11 Teddy Thomas, 10 Jean-Pascal Barraque, 9 Dimitri Yachvili, 8 Imanol Harinordoquy, 7 Raphael Lakafia, 6 Tanguy Molcard, 5 Mathias Marie, 4 Erik Lund, 3 Gomez Kodela, 2 Arnaud Heguy, 1 Eugene Van Staden.
Replacements: 16 Benoit August, 17 Thomas Synaeghel, 18 Ben Broster, 19 Pelu Lan Taele, 20 Seremaia Burotu, 21 Yann Lesgourgues, 22 Charles Gimenez, 23 Paul Couet-Lannes.
Date: Thursday, 4 April
Venue: Kingsholm
Kick-off: 20:00
Referee: John Lacey (Ireland)

It may not count as an official end to their feud, but it is something.
In an interview with E!, rapper Nicki Minaj says she's more than willing to hit the stage with her fellow American Idol -- and assumed nemesis -- judge Mariah Carey.
"I would do that," Minaj said diplomatically of performing with the pop diva. "I think people would be interested in seeing that."
Minaj didn't elaborate on getting together with Carey musically, but it is interesting to note that they've already collaborated on a tune.
Back in 2010, then-newbie Minaj was featured on Carey's song Up Out My Face, which has an impressive 28 million hits on YouTube. In the video for the single, both divas dressed up as nurses and dolls and appeared to get along just fine.

Do you ever walk into a consignment shop and immediately feel grossed out by all the different smells and unorganized clothes?... because I do. That's the one reason I have never been a consignment girl until now. My husband suggested we poke our heads into a place called Plato's Closet in Jacksonville, FL, to find my favorite Hollister jeans for less. When I walked into the large store full of designer scarves, Vera Bradley's, and A&F polo's, I have to admit that I felt at home.
For one thing, the mall always overwhelms me, not to mention I hate teasing myself by just "window shopping"... I mean, what fun is staring at clothing I can't afford? That's why Plato's Closet is my new favorite girl toy store because it's all affordable and full of current fashions from wedges, leather jackets, and costume jewelry. Checking out the rows of never ending denim, I managed to find about 7 pairs of Hollister jeans in my size and I purchased 4 of them... for $80! Do you realize that a normal pair of Hollister jeans in the actual Hollister store start at $69? And I just bought 4 pairs for $80! That's unbelievable if you ask me.
The deals in Plato's are ridiculous. I didn't check all the brands and prices, but along with Hollister jeans for $22 a pair I did see Abercrombie, Express, Aeropostale, and DKNY. Why buy full price denim ever again?
Not to mention, they are one of the only consignment shops I know that give you cash on the spot for your clean gently used clothing. My husband and I consigned a box of his old tee's and a few of my dresses and Plato's gave us $99 cash right there! Plus, they give you a shopping discount card that eventually gets you 20% off your purchase. I'm still in shopping awe! Check out the latest trends and look for a Plato's Closet near you at Platoscloset.com.
