Now maybe I'll remember. If you have a Capresso Infiniti and you're using a Hario V60 with a 60-90 sec. pre-infusion, that's the setting I'd recommend. Tasty results should ensue. ... More...

President Abraham Lincoln is remembered as the President who led a nation divided by Civil War, but while in office President Lincoln contributed in several ways to the settlement of the west. In May of 1862, he signed the Homestead Act, which permitted more than a million families to take ownership of western farmland. In July of 1862, he also signed the College Land Grand Act, which allowed the establishment of colleges in the frontier west. In 1862 and 1864 President Lincoln used his influence to pass the Railroad Land Grants, which laid the groundwork for the transcontinental railroad that hastened the settlement of the western frontier.
As a result of these significant contributions leading to the settlement of the west, President Lincoln is honored with this statue, at the National Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Museum Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The statue was created by renowned artist James Earl Fraser, which portrayal Lincoln sitting on a stone on a hill overlooking Washington, and gazing down on the troubled capitol of the Union, his shoulders revealing the burden of his office. Fraser also created one of the most famous pieces of Western Art, the “End of the Trail” statue. The plaster model of which stands in the museum’s entrance.

Chiefs captain creates scholarship in honour of Grant Sheridan
Myles Mattila is wearing the ‘C’ as the leader of the Kelowna Chiefs this year.
Off the ice, he’s been an exemplary leader in many facets of life for some time and he’s back at it again with a newly-created scholarship.
The Remembering Grant Sheridan Scholarship honours Grant Sheridan, the former owner of the Chiefs who passed away this summer, and it’ll be available to all KIJHL players.

It’s been created through the MindRight for Athletes Society, another creation of Mattila, and will recognize a player for their hockey commitment, community involvement and academic achievement.
The scholarship will be initiated during the Chiefs’ home opener at Rutland Arena on Friday night and more details about it will become available as the season goes on.
“It is with heavy hearts the Kelowna Chiefs will be playing our home opener in memory of Grant. There will not be a dry eye in the house,” says Mattila.
“Grant was a very special person who will be dearly missed by all. Grant and I had very similar fundamental beliefs in the core values of hockey, education, and community involvement, which included mental health.”
Sheridan presented Mattila with the team’s Scholastic Player of the Year award after the 2017-18 season.
This one has kind of crappy lighting, but hey, I took it with a cell phone so I have pride!
Do you remember?
There is something special behind it for me...but what do YOU remember?
Memory is what's important, and a single picture can bring back thousands.

The beginning of time for 2007

If we were to contemplate time and how it is tracked we may consider using a scratch on a wall, a favourite for prison inmates in a far off land I’m told. Traditionally of course this would always take the form of a vertical scratch indicating a day has passed followed by another series of five before scratching a diagonal to complete one week. So simple and easy to do, no training necessary as it comes so natural. Hey anybody could do it.
This one week group signifies that a week in your life has now been lost forever never to be repeated, unless you believe in reincarnation of course in which case you may just want to do something completely different the second time around. For our purposes let’s stick to this life.
When we have marked the completion of the second week will they form any significant memory and if so for whom? How long will this memory last and how long will it last if it only belongs to you? Just what did you do two weeks ago that makes it a memory? If your recollection is nil was that a wasted week in your life?
What is time?
How do you perceive it?
At what point did you realise that time was important, were you young or old?
Time is limited – We all get the same amount, or do we?
Time management – Oh yes it does like to be managed
Time is scarce – The lack of it can be used as blame when plans have gone wrong.
Free time – Sounds great but is there anything free in this life, after all if there is no such thing as a free lunch why should we expect time to be free? When you relax in free time this is just another erosion of life itself isn’t it? But when we talk of free time it sounds so very nice.
Going down the pub, why not I do have some free time you know.
I made these pictures in my free time. You lucky thing you
Why waste time looking backwards?
Why waste time contemplating what may have been?
Why not be positive right now and change your life and realise your own potential?
Be positive in your actions and you will see that time may just look after you
Time to talk
Time to listen
Time to live
Time for a coffee
Time to sleep
Time to go
How much can you remember for the month of January 2007? New Year’s Day perhaps, kids back to school? 1st day back to work? Not very well perhaps? A great party?
Or just maybe it was the time that you started to look forward and concentrate on today and tomorrow?
Time waits for no man
