The Spain midfield duo flourished under Guardiola's stewardship at Camp Nou as the Blaugrana claimed 14 trophies from 2008 to 2011, including two Champions League titles.

Xavi and Iniesta were also at the heart of Spain's incredible back-to-back European Championship successes, as well as the team's triumph at the 2010 World Cup, but Guardiola claims players of such caliber do not require coaches to get them to play at their best.
"Barcelona's players motivate themselves," the Bayern Munich boss was quoted as saying by Sport. "I did not teach Xavi or Iniesta to play. Coaches are here to lend a hand, but they have been playing well for 20 years. Coaches do not make good players play well. They play well enough without me.
"I imbue a certain success, but it's a personal matter. With me, they did not have the same success as they did with Tito Vilanova [when Barcelona reached 100 Liga points]."
Guardiola - whose Bayern side was crowned Bundesliga champion in record time following Tuesday's win over Hertha Berlin - went on to underline that he left Camp Nou in 2012 as he felt the time was right to move on.
"Perhaps I didn't explain it well," he added. "[My reason for leaving Barca] was purely personal. I felt the time had come. They are all responsible for the success we had, as is the same at Bayern."

Donald Richie adored Japan, from his first days as a typist with U.S. occupation forces soon after World War II to the six decades he spent absorbing Japanese culture and cinema and writing about it in dozens of books. Donald Richie died yesterday in Tokyo where he had lived for most of his life. He was 88. In the 1991 movie made from his sensual travel memoir, "The Inland Sea," Richie narrated stories about his voyage around the Japanese islands.
MARKUS NORNES: It's just luscious, beautiful piece of writing. Last night, after I heard about his passing, it's the book I pulled for my shelf to go back and spend some time in.
BLOCK: That's Markus Nornes, a professor of Asian cinema at the University of Michigan and a friend of Donald Richie for 20 years. He says Richie devoted himself to bridging a gap between cultures.
NORNES: He's often called an interpreter of Japan, but I think of him more as a mediator.
BLOCK: What did he want Americans to know about Japan and the Japanese?
NORNES: I think at the beginning of his career, it had a lot to do with introducing them to the wonders of Japanese cinema. But then he also started writing about flower arrangement, food, the people he met, just small things in daily life.
BLOCK: I want to play you a bit of tape from a talk that Donald Richie gave in New York in 2006. He was talking about his life in Japan and his perspective as an outsider for all the many, many years he lived there.
BLOCK: What do you think Donald Richie is saying when he talks about that limbo and looking down on that valley of the land that he's chosen?
NORNES: I think it's an embrace while at the same time a creation of some distance because, you know, he went there to get away from the oppressiveness he found in America. He found it less oppressive to be gay or to be bi. He could be in Japan and not worry about all the kinds of protocols that people in Japan would have to live by. He could carve out his own way of life.
BLOCK: When you spent time with him over the years, talked with him, what was he like? What kind of man was he?
NORNES: At first, I wasn't sure. I first met him at the Hawaii International Film Festival. We were at the opening party, which was at Jack Lord's house, of all places. And I went up to him and introduced myself as a grad student interested in Japanese film. And he listened to me. He went, uh-huh, uh-huh, that's nice. And he walked away.
BLOCK: He was dismissive, huh?
NORNES: Totally. But over the years, everybody talked about how he was such a wonderful person. And he would welcome everybody going to Japan with open arms and help them - I mean, just go out of his way to make sure that they had a great time and got what they needed if they're doing research or writing journalism or anything. So I finally looked him up again, and he turned out to be exactly that kind of person.
BLOCK: Well, Markus Nornes, thanks for talking to us about Donald Richie.
NORNES: It's my pleasure.
BLOCK: Markus Nornes is professor of Asian cinema at the University of Michigan. We were talking about the writer Donald Richie, an American expert on Japanese culture and film. Richie died yesterday in Tokyo at 88.

Too Smoky Sausage and Dry Brisket
A: I am wondering if the wood was seasoned well.. green wood will create some creosote and get pretty strong at times depending on how green the wood is.
I got ahold of some unseasoned wood a while back and had to completely clean out my smoker afterwards before I could use it again. I was told it was a year old.
I recommend using lump charcoal or wood burned down a little in a separate container for heat and then just adding a couple sticks of the hickory for smoke flavoring to see if you get better results.
If the wood is well seasoned it is not a problem but when you are getting your wood from someone else, you only have their word that it is seasoned and unless you weigh it there is not a good way to tell without burning it a little.
(Seasoned wood can weigh as much as 40% less than unseasoned)
I have a custom smoker as well and have a had a few similar problems and I had to chalk it up to unseasoned wood since that was the only part of the process that could have varied.
You can get an old 55 gallon drum and use it to burn your wood down for a few minutes.. till they start glowing.. and shovel it from there into your firebox as needed to maintain 225 degrees.
This allows you to add sticks of hickory or mesquite or whatever wood you want to use for smoke without having to worry about oversmoking the meat. The more smoke flavor you want the more wood you use and if it is a strong flavored wood like mesqite or hickory you can use a little less than you would with milder woods like oak, pecan, apple, etc.
As far as the dry sausage.. not sure about why that happened all of a sudden if it is normally moist. I am assuming you mop the meat about every hour while it smokes. For any kind of meat that has a chance at being too dry, especially for a competition, drape a little fatty bacon over it to let the bacon fat render and keep the meat moist while it cooks.

BOGOTA: Now that a historic peace accord with leftist FARC guerrillas could be signed within weeks, Colombia's government is eager to ensure ties to the US military endure in a post-conflict future.
President Juan Manuel Santos this week rolled out the red carpet for the Pentagon's top officer, General Joe Dunford, honoring him with three ceremonies during a brief visit to Bogota.
The question looming over the fanfare is how the relationship between Colombia and its top military partner will evolve after Bogota and the FARC finally strike a deal ending five decades of conflict.
Since 1999, a US program called Plan Colombia has seen about $10 billion in military aid flow to Colombia's security services, fortifying the state against well-armed and well-funded drug cartels and rebel groups, chief among them the FARC.
US military academies have trained Colombian troops, and major arms deals have ensured the Colombian military is a well-equipped, modern fighting force.
Speaking to reporters after his trip Thursday, Dunford said Colombia's leaders stressed the importance of military ties.
"Their main message today was, 'Hey look, you can't look past us, it's not over,'" Dunford said on a flight from Colombia to the US military's Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) in Florida.
"Please don't think now you can take your eye off of Colombia, the most important part of the campaign is winning the peace, and that starts with the accord, it doesn't end," Dunford recounted his Colombian partners as saying.
'Peace Colombia'
US President Barack Obama last month announced a $450 million plan to fund Colombia's peace process, highlighting a new focus on post-conflict realities.
A March 23 deadline had been set for the peace talks to conclude, designed to bring to an end a five-decade conflict that has killed more than 260,000 people and displaced 6.6 million others. But Santos on Thursday said more time was needed.
Hailed in Washington as a bipartisan success story, Plan Colombia was launched by president Bill Clinton and continued by his Republican successor George W. Bush.
Colombia had been so plagued by drug violence and corruption that officials say it was almost a failed state, and they credit Plan Colombia with an instrumental role in its turnaround.
"If you look at where Colombia was in the mid-1990s and you look at where they are today… they are a solid democracy in South America, they are a force for stability in the region and they are now also contributing broadly in the international community … so yes, it was worth it," Dunford said.
But the policy has also been fiercely criticized inside Colombia and by rights groups, who say it made internecine conflict bloodier and left a trail of abuses.
Obama wants to recast Plan Colombia as "Peace Colombia."
Cash would still be available for the military and counternarcotics, but the focus will shift to demobilizing rebels and reintegrating them into society, as well as clearing mines from vast tracts of remote land and boosting humanitarian assistance.
Colombia plans on increasing from 14 to 196 the number of military platoons — each with about 40 troops — dedicated to removing mines from an area the size of Texas and Oklahoma combined.
SOUTHCOM expert William Clark said the mines are hard to find because they are not usually made of metal.
"These are improvised mines, these are plastic bottles with chemicals — with a syringe and a pressure plate — so when you step on it, the chemicals mix and explode," Clark said.
The United States is also casting a wary eye over recent increases in cocaine production, and the fate of some 7,000 FARC fighters after peace takes hold.
Some will join drug trafficking groups, but Colombia has developed a reintegration program in which FARC fighters — many of whom were kidnapped as children and know only guerrilla life — receive an education and job training.
"Quite frankly, they don't know how to operate in a modern society. But they do know how to kill for what they want and they are extremely efficient at it," SOUTHCOM spokesman Master Sergeant Joshua Hobson said.
"That's why building partner capacity is so important to us."

Vikings-Packers draws record cable sports audience
Vikings-Packers sets audience record
Favre's vs. former team most watched cable sporting event
Published 5:30 am, Tuesday, October 6, 2009
Brett Favre's reunion with his former teammates Monday night produced the highest-rated sports broadcast in cable television history, but the Vikings and Packers couldn't beat out Fox's Sunday afternoon late games, led by the Cowboys and Broncos, as the most-watched NFL window of the weekend.
The Monday night game produced a 13.2 Nielsen rating on ESPN and was seen by an average of 21.8 million viewers on ESPN. The 3:15 p.m. Fox games averaged a 13.1 rating with an average audience of 22 million viewers.
ESPN's average audience of 15.1 million households for Vikings-Packers was the highest in the network's history, beating the record of 12.9 million for an Eagles-Cowboys game last year.
In Houston, the Monday night game registered an 11.2 rating.

In New Orleans, po-boys are very serious business. And while I was cooking professionally in the Crescent City a few years ago, I had the envious opportunity of sampling sandwiches from all of the city's most legendary spots, from Mandina's down on Canal Street to Gene's over on Elysian Fields. Not only did I taste them all, but I revisited these restaurants several times over, especially as out-of-town guests would stop through to visit. For as many sandwiches as I consumed, the experience of eating a bonafide New Orleans po-boy never wore thin. Quite the opposite — I still have serious po-boy cravings from time to time, and I return to New Orleans once a year, if possible.
As most New Orleans locals will tell you, the foundation of any authentic po-boy is the signature Leidenheimer Baking Company roll. Founded in 1896, the Leidenheimer Baking Company began its business making traditional German breads, but the demands of Louisiana's French population warranted something more familiar, and Leidenheimer soon established its reputation for baking superior French rolls. Like the best banh mi baguettes, Leidenheimer rolls are imminently tender, yet they'll shed beaucoup bread crumbs, thanks to their thin-yet-crispy exterior. For a true New Orleans po-boy, it's really a Leidenheimer roll, or nothing.
In terms of everything else, New Orleans po-boys remain relatively straight-forward in scope, more than one might assume. Most restaurants offer a choice of either fried shrimp, fried oysters, or fried catfish, and the sandwiches themselves are simply "dressed" with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and remoulade. Of course, there are a few noteworthy variations around town: I usually went to Gene's for a late-night cheeseburger po-boy, and I always went to Mother's for their famous roast beef "debris" po-boy. But overall, seafood remains the popular choice, especially with New Orleans being a Gulf Coast city.
Although "lettuce-tomato-pickle-remoulade" remains the standard po-boy dressing for most of New Orleans, here in California, we tend to bend the rules, especially with our cuisine. So with this basic caveat in mind, I wondered what kind of po-boy I could find in the Bay Area, even if it wasn't strictly authentic.
The oyster po-boy at Brown Sugar Kitchen (pictured above) is an admirable offering: fundamentally sound, flavorful and balanced, and very much in the spirit of New Orleans. The fleshy oysters are deep fried in a "dry" batter, which is most a likely 50-50 combination of corn flour and corn meal, augmented with select Cajun seasonings. These oysters are both large and plentiful, and if they aren't gulf oysters, they're damn close. As for the roll, chef Tanya Holland has sourced a well-chosen local alternative to the Leidenheimer, soft but not as flaky.
Oh, and the macaroni and cheese pictured in the foreground? That was easily the single-greatest thing about this entire project. For my tastes, the BSK mac and cheese is one of the Bay Area's best, and it comes as an optional $1 upgrade with the oyster po-boy. Get it, and the memory will stay with you.

Brenda's is a lot like the San Francisco counter-part to the Brown Sugar Kitchen, and I can make many comparisons between the two restaurants. Superficially, they both keep breakfast and lunch hours only, and they are both helmed by two extremely talented chefs, who both happen to be women. The similarities run much deeper, however, as both restaurants excel in Southern comfort food, and both are destination restaurants in the truest sense. Best of all, I always see both chef-owners working the line whenever I visit. Brenda's offers shrimp and oyster po-boys, with a catfish version as a daily special. The sandwich is mighty tasty, and chef Brenda Buenviaje's gumbo is the best in the Bay Area, no question. I crave it like I crave New Orleans gumbo.
• • •
Hog Island bucks tradition with a hamburger-style potato bun, beer-battered oysters, and their bacon remoulade (there is also a lemon aioli option, but who are we kidding?). Frankly, I'm fine with all of it. This sandwich is delicious in its own context, and it's by far the best option in the Napa Valley. It also earns bonus points for being in the Oxbow Market, which means that Three Twins Ice Cream is an easy option for dessert. I like the fact that Hog Island stakes its reputation on oysters, which guarantees that this oyster po-boy should possess an inherent quality within. Sure, it might not be a po-boy in the pure sense, but it can satisfy a craving.
• • •
Queen's Louisiana Po-Boy takes the most authentic approach possible, shipping in palates of par-baked Leidenheimer bread, which they finish in-house. The result is pretty damn close to the original. Queen's also brings in gulf shrimp, along with more seasonal fare, such as the soft-shell crab pictured above. This sandwich is worth a quick trip down the 101, and the restaurant is freeway-close for a convenient stop (just exit Paul Avenue, and you're there already). Queen's carries a nice selection of Zapp's potato chips and Abita Beer, which is a nice touch. But I just wish they — or anybody — would offer Barq's Red Cream Soda. I can't find it anywhere in California.
• • •
One of the hallmarks of a great po-boy is an abundance of shrimp, oysters, or whatever is designated as the filling. At the Boxing Room in Hayes Valley, their shrimp po-boy is endearing because five or six fried shrimp always garnish the plate, meaning that you can either use them to stuff the sandwich extra full, or you can just snack on the extra shrimp at will. It's a thoughtful touch that shows some Southern generosity. Most po-boys at the Boxing Room also come standard with hush puppies, which are a pleasant alternative to french fries.
• • •
Angeline's puts Creole mustard on their po-boys, which is strange to me. Even though the mustard may be Creole, it's not the flavor I'm used to. However, I don't count this against Angeline's since (a) they do mention this fact on the menu, and (b) they do have remoulade in house. My solution is simple: I order Angeline's shrimp po-boy with no mustard, substitute remoulade, and suddenly this sandwich seems more familiar.
The gumbo upgrade is also worth getting, although I don't rate Angeline's gumbo as highly as I rate Brenda's gumbo. It's pretty good nonetheless, and much more interesting than french fries. In the past, I have ordered the jambalaya at Angeline's, and have been underwhelmed to the point of not even wanting to finish it. Not all restaurants can be all things to all people, but for a decent shrimp po-boy, it's Berkeley's best option (just remember about the mustard).

The Fremont Diner takes its cue from the lobster rolls of Maine, and features a shrimp po-boy on a hot dog bun. The beer-battered shrimp are much bigger than what's typical (in addition to being beer-battered), and the toasted bun is far more robust than your average supermarket-variety hot dog bun. All in all, it's kinda good, but it should only be an option if the Fremont Diner runs out of its Nashville spicy fried chicken.

The other night at a team dinner at the Four Seasons buffet, I had a Proustian moment at the charcuterie table. The prosciutto and brie — rarities in Seoul — brought me back to nights at The Tippler, under Chelsea Market, where we would go to say goodbye to someone who was leaving our team at Google. It's where I had my goodbye drinks.
It'll be two years tomorrow. I don't think that much about my New York life these days, but there are moments.
As I write this, I'm sitting on my veranda, watching the rain come down in sheets over the nearby apartment towers and Umyeon Mountain as the breeze plays with the leaves of my little hallabong tree out on the balcony. My life is different and not different. I work as a writer at a giant tech company, and I live in an apartment in a nice part of town.
Different tech company, different town.
Leaving New York
It took me a long time to leave New York. It's hard to leave because it fools you into thinking that life outside of New York is both impractical and uncivilized. My grandfather, before he decamped for California, expressed a worry that he might not be able to buy duffel bags there, as if sack-and-zipper technology were exclusively the province of Canal Street artisans. And there's a reflexive sense that being in New York makes you cultured.
It turns out, though, that there are ways to be cultured that don't involve sucking down a grease triangle on a paper plate before riding the L train a hundred years to see your friend's photos tacked to a Bushwick wall and pretending to have visited the latest Whitney show over plastic cups of cheap white wine. After I left New York, I discovered that LA has really good art museums now. In Bangkok, there are motorcycle gangs that look like American motorcycle gangs and play heavy metal on the street to raise money for charity. Up in Khon Kaen, the college kids play some mean ska, and they do it for hours nonstop. Yangon has a fascinating little art scene emerging in the crumbling but still gorgeous colonial buildings downtown, and there are some good galleries in Hanoi too. They play excellent Latin music at Carmen Bar in Saigon, and late in the evening they turn to French pop from the sixties that the older folks still remember. I saw Dengue Fever fight their way through a collapsing sounds system to play the most rock-and-roll show ever in Phnom Penh. Hanoi has good art galleries. In Hue I ate a sauteed lemongrass bird's nest that was like nothing I've had before or since, and in Singapore there was a dessert made from artisanal pop rocks. Laos makes the loveliest textiles you've ever seen, and you can take a weaving class in Luang Prabang, then finish your day with exquisite French cuisine.
Seeing Seoul
Seoul is deceptive in more or less the opposite way from New York. Seoul convinces you that everything is normal and there's nothing to see. The standard tourist circuit includes some so-so palaces that were all rebuilt in the last 50 years anyway, plus a bunch of shopping districts where everyone's wearing Western clothes and drinking Starbucks coffee. As a friend put it recently, "I was expecting Seoul to be more Asian." The beige apartment towers, the red-brick residential buildings, the glass-and-stone commercial strips have an almost militant blandness, and the chain stores repeat like a canvas backdrop loop on a crank. Even the city slogan, "I.SEOUL.U," manages to convey nothing, while its bizarreness distracts you from the actual city.
But for all that, Seoul is beguiling. It's hard to explain. A New York fashion designer I met here told me that the city brought her back to life, that there was this one elegant building that caught her imagination with its elegant S-curve lighted up at night. That something about the people here touched her. I know what she means, but I don't know how to convey it to anyone who hasn't been here.
And now it's home. I've spent a lot of nights in a lot of places in the last two years, but more of them here in this apartment than anywhere else. It's been quite an adventure, and it's still just beginning.

|Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors
|Japanese name
Draug is a minor character from Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors.
A minor deity and denizen of the Mirror World, Draug is the most proficient blacksmith in the world. The Hero and his party travel to the Mirror World in the hopes of soliciting his help in repairing the Rorrim Mask, which is essential in defeating Xiphos the Deathbringer and which the Hero was manipulated into slicing in half.
He first tests their worthiness by engaging them in battle, attacking by stomping on them and hurling pieces of marble at them. Upon his defeat, he immediately restores to the mask to like-new condition, and additionally offers the Hero Rednusadner, an item of his own design and possibly the only sword in the world capable of injuring Xiphos.
"Draug" spelled backwards is guard.

St. Francis High School holds record breaking food drive
Sacramento Emergency Foodlink and the Elk Grove Food Bank got a big boost from the St. Francis High School student body, which collected 131,216 cans and packages of nonperishable food items, breaking last year's food drive record by 30,000 items.
Each fall St. Francis High School's Homecoming festivities involve numerous activities designed to build class spirit and unity, from pseudo-sports competitions to creating elaborate, theme-based decorations, skits, dances, songs and cheers. The annual Food Drive is part of the competition among the classes and serves as an amazing display of the power of young women to optimize their resources and serve their community.
Family connections in the food industry, grocery store requests and going door to door in their neighborhoods helped St. Francis students gather the extraordinary quantity of food, which included 1,008 ounces of baby formula, 17,328 cans of food from Raley's, 9,952 cans of fruits and vegetables, and 77,000 boxes of Mac and Cheese.
The main beneficiary of the food drive, Sacramento Emergency Foodlink, serves over 150 local agencies and food closets throughout the Sacramento community. Thirty percent of the food collected will be donated directly to the Elk Grove Food Bank.
St. Francis High School students also raised money through recycling, bake sales and a portion of sales from Leatherby's Family Creamery to raise $2,441 for Catholic Charities of Sacramento, Inc., an agency that provides a wide variety of social services to people and families in need throughout the 20 counties of the Diocese of Sacramento.

Goldman, Mars
Third-quarter net income rose to $5.05 billion from $3.92 billion a year earlier, fueled by gains on holdings tied to Goldman Sachs Group Inc., General Electric Co. and Mars Inc. Operating earnings, which exclude some investment results, were $2,228 a share, missing the $2,403 average estimate of three analysts surveyed by Bloomberg, as insurance underwriting results deteriorated.
Berkshire increasingly has been putting money to work in MidAmerican and BNSF. The two businesses will spend about $8.7 billion on capital projects this year, according to the filing. That compares with $6.9 billion in 2012.
Profit rose at the energy business as it won approvals for rate increases at its largest units, which sell power in states including Iowa, Oregon and Utah. The firm also struck a deal in May to buy Nevada's largest electric utility for $5.6 billion.
BNSF has benefited as new drilling technologies boosted oil production in states such as North Dakota and Montana. Volume increased 12% for industrial goods in the first nine months of the year because of "significantly higher petroleum products" moving by the company's rail network, according to the filing. Buffett didn't respond to a request for comment sent to an assistant outside normal business hours.
Bond Yields
Part of the reason Buffett may be investing so heavily in the utilities and railroad is that bonds yield so little, said David Sims, co-manager of Eagle Capital Growth Fund. While other insurers primarily hold fixed-income securities to back obligations to policyholders and generate earnings, Berkshire has opted to put money in capital-intensive businesses, he said.
"They're very complementary to the insurance business," said Sims, whose fund counts Berkshire among its biggest holdings. "They're a very reliable source of income."
The businesses also allow Berkshire to deploy large amounts of cash consistently. That's important because it's harder for Buffett to make meaningful investments now that his company is much larger than when he took over as chief executive officer more than four decades ago, said Richard Cook, co-founder of Cook & Bynum Capital Management LLC in Birmingham, Alabama.
Heinz Deal
Berkshire's book value, a measure of assets minus liabilities, was $126,766 per Class A share as of Sept. 30. When Buffett took control in the 1960s, it was $19.
The stock climbed 0.2% to $173,460 at 9:43 a.m. and has gained 29% this year. Berkshire's largest investment this year was the $12.3 billion Buffett spent to help take ketchup maker HJ Heinz Co. private. The billionaire's company got half the common equity, and preferred stock paying a 9% dividend.
"People's expectations should not be that returns are going to be as good as they have been, because there's so much capital to put to work," said Cook, who oversees about $295 million, including Berkshire shares. "That's not a change in Buffett's skill. It's a change in the capital base."
Investing in the railroad and utilities also may have an element of "estate planning," Russo said. Predictable profits will be helpful in ensuring payouts to the foundations to which the billionaire CEO is leaving almost all his wealth and a boon to his eventual successor, the Berkshire investor said.
Buffett is "starting to play more toward the middle of the tennis court," Russo said. "The model is changing."

Steve's Ball Handling Practice
This is another of Steve's practices/workouts, this time with handling the ball. Practice makes perfect, which is why he was and is so good.
This is another of Steve's practices/workouts, this time with handling the ball. Practice makes perfect, which is why he was and is so good.
Recreational activities are very important in many people's lives, and it's the same with me and my two brothers. We play video games and spend lots of time playing basketball with friends. I don't joke around with having fun, but it's also exercise too. I engage in various sporting activities to keep my energy level in check. I love all sports, but basketball is the most important one, and I play almost every day with my friends. It's a fun sport and easy to learn. We play for long hours, especially after work or in the early morning before work.
The other day, my friends were away on vacations and my brothers were at work. I was all alone at home with no one to talk to or play basketball with, so I took my ball out to the court anyway. I started playing all by myself. Some kids came to play too. I couldn't join them or invite them to join me because I felt they are too little or young to play with me. I waited to see if any adult could come and I started shooting the ball from different points. Then the kids left after a short while. I sat at the court and about an hour later, my brothers came by. I was happy they were there and we played for about two hours and left to go home.
When we were supposed to play a real game later on, I was feeling sick at home and had invited my girlfriend over. Although I had taken enough medication and I was feeling better, my brother left for the court to play, but my girlfriend convinced me to stay. But then we talked a little and I headed out to meet my brothers. She had advised against me going out, due to my ill health, but I told her that I wouldn't be playing. I ended up playing that day, anyway. I just can't stay away!
A couple weeks after that, we had to go to a family reunion in Washington DC. We took our basketballs, kayaking equipment, food and drinks. My two friends were with us, my girlfriend, my two brothers and our parents. When we got there, we had a barbeque and went to the campground and played basketball on the court around there. I had a sprain but it wasn't so serious. After that, we went kayaking on the lake, which was such a relief after a beautiful game of basketball.
The wind felt so great after we had sweat so much playing ball. The Sun Dolphin Bali 10 SS sit on kayak was light to carry and I put some snacks in the storage hatch, as well as my phone and other stuff. I think the next thing I will get into is kayaking, but it still won't beat basketball. When it was getting dark, we headed back and built a nice bonfire near the house. We kept telling old family stories until 3 in the morning. That was pretty nice to reminisce.
Here's some funny Steve Nash moments…a nice sense of humor with all the seriousness in the world is a great trait to have.
Here is Steve showing us what he does to practice, doing a 20 minute workout. It would be fun to shoot hoops like this and it might not even feel like exercise, so it's a good strategy, in that sense.

In this video, Chris Paul describes the night before he was to play against Steve Nash on the Late Late Show with James Corden…
The Steve Nash Foundation is an organization that is founded on a simple but powerful truth. That truth centers on the fact that children are fundamentally affected by the environment in which they live. A child who experiences neglect and various forms of abuse undergoes a drastic change that diminishes what he or she could ultimately be. On the flip side, a child who is raised in a loving, nurtured environment where food and health needs are not a concern, are more likely to prosper and thrive.
Science has proven these facts to be true. It is the belief of the Steve Nash Foundation that vibrant, healthy children translates into vibrant, healthy communities. As such, the purpose and goal of organization is to foster environments that children can thrive in all around the world. Based in British Columbia, the foundation actively allocates resources to local populations of children who are at risk and lack basic necessities. Trying to foster positive environments for vulnerable kids is a daunting task. It is a goal that can only be accomplished one step at a time.
The fact is that no one organization, on its own, can hope to complete such an undertaking. For this reason, the Steve Nash Foundation partners with organizations all around the world to achieve these goals together. The Foundation is able to work in conjunction with these organizations, addressing the needs of kids who face neglect, abuse and other health related issues. With monetary aid and technical insight, the Foundation empowers local organizations to improve the environment for the children in their communities. Duplicating this approach is the means by which the Foundation can assist in aiding and bettering the lives of more and more children.
The Foundation has established a number of programs designed to further its goals. The first of these is BC Grants. Steve Nash is a native of British Columbia and, as such, he has a vital interest to use the power of his foundation to better the lives of children from his local community. BC Grants are dispersed each year to non profit organizations with mandates that focus on directly helping at need children with education and health services.
Support Hope is a program that the Steve Nash Foundation established to give aid to the country of Paraguay. Paraguay has an infant mortality rate that is frighteningly high. There are two healthcare facilities in the country which try meet the needs of the citizenry and decrease the mortality rate, but they are drastically ill equipped to address this challenge. The Support Hope program was designed to increase training and provide higher quality healthcare equipment with the goal to improve healthcare outcomes.
Another program that the Steve Nash Foundation has championed is Reach. It is a program designed to help kids actively increase and take charge of their own health. Kids are exposed in a fun and interactive way to the scientific reasoning of how movement, psychology, fitness and lifestyle can lead to better health. The Reach program is presented to kids at an age that allows the benefits to take hold and last a lifetime.
Here's a quick look at a Steve Nash gym, which we'll be putting up an article on shortly.
Highlights from Steve Nash's career…some great plays to watch!
Steve Nash is a Canadian basketball player who retired from the Lakers in 2015, due to health concerns. He went on to be a consultant for the Golden State Warriors after turning down the Dallas Mavericks to play one last season with them. He was an NBA All-Star 8 times and an All-NBA selection 7 times, as well as earning the title of NBA Most Valuable Player, twice, when he played for the Phoenix Suns. He played with the Suns for 2 years, the Mavericks for 6 years, then went back to the Suns for 8 years, then finally to the Los Angeles Lakers for his final 3 years.
Nash was born in South Africa, but his family moved to Canada when he was less than 2 years old. He played basketball in high school while in British Columbia, followed by playing in college for the Santa Clara University's team, the Broncos. He played for 4 seasons, with the team making 3 NCAA Tournaments appearances, and was the WCC (West Coast Conference) Player of the Year, twice. He graduated and was acquired as the 15th NBA draft pick with the Suns in 1996.
Steve's father was a professional soccer player, and as a result, he played soccer with his brother until he started playing basketball at 12-13 years old. He mentioned to his mother, in 8th grade, that he would someday be an NBA star. During his final year in high school, he was named Player of the Year. He is now considered as having been one of the best shooters of all time in the NBA.
In his national team career, Nash helped Canada get a silver medal in the 1999 Tournament of the Americas, leading the team to be qualified for the Olympics after 12 years. He was named MVP in that tournament and went on to captain Canada in the 2000 Sydney Olympics. He also captained Canada during the FIBA Americas Olympic Qualifying Tournament to qualify for the 2004 Summer Olympics, and although they didn't succeed, he was yet again named MVP.
Steve Nash had been plagued by back problems later in his career while playing for the Lakers. He fractured his left leg after colliding with a player on the opposite team, as well as suffering a hip injury that caused permanent nerve problems. He couldn't play his very last season before retirement due to continuing back problems. He has spondylolisthesis, a medical condition that causes back pain and muscle stiffness.
Nash is now married with three kids from a previous marriage. He formed a charity in 2001 called the Steve Nash Foundation that provides services for children living in poverty and other bad situations. He's also the sponsor of the Steve Nash Youth Basketball League in Canada that supports 10,000 participants, and is involved in various other charities.
Steve also opened a fitness facility with a business partner in Vancouver in 2007, and has many other business ventures he's active in. In 2010, he became the first NBA player to carry the torch for the Olympics, in the Winter Olympics.
Steve has many awards and accomplishments, and you can see them all HERE.

Every once in a while it is granite-like to present yourself because you be presumptuous with yourself so rise that you do not understand where to start with. Let go b exonerate me earnings up a stop commission to consult with what indulgent of double you established yon me in every nook my self-description.

I am a yourself who is decisive on every side every side of life. There are tons things I like to do, to glimpse, and to experience. I like to interpret, I like to write; I like to invent, I like to pipedream; I like to talk, I like to listen. I like to visualize the sunrise in the morning, I like to woman the moonlight at shades of night; I like to get the music flowing on my onto, I like to breath the induct a certain's hair down coming from the ocean. I like to look at the clouds in the praisefully with a sheer revile at, I like to do deliberating enquire into when I cannot be in the grounds of nap in the mid-point of the night. I like flowers in bounce, teem in summer, leaves in autumn, and snow in winter.

There was not a unmarried days in the matrix 2 years when I bore something in my apartment and in the balcony. Sometime I was without a stitch on also in the apartment building, but this in the more to penetrate stories…

The Salinas Californian recently ran this interview with David Maradei of the Child Abuse Prevention Council, on understanding something that can have a very big influence on a child's likelihood of growing up to commit or suffer from violence:
The difference between healthy discipline and child abuse.
According to David, it's a difference that many parents don't really understand — for example, in his words, "spanking is just another word for hitting."

New Trailer for Hotel Transylvania Offer Little Comedy
There's a new trailer for Hotel Transylvania available but there's no need to worry about your funny bone being in danger of getting hurt because it's a little light on the comedy.
While there's some new footage and a couple of new gags, this is pretty similar to the last trailer we saw… and that's really not a good thing. The main highlight is a juvenile joke that has to do with Bigfoot and a clogged toilet, and that's about it. We still haven't seen anything that touches on the plot about the human boy that causes problems for Dracula when he gets the attention of Drac's 118-year-old daughter so I'm reserving judgment on the film at the moment, but I'm starting to think this might be another bomb for Adam Sandler.
The premise sounds good and the CGI work isn't bad to look at but the marketing gurus are going to have to pull out the big guns soon if they want to attract an audience that wants more than monster potty jokes.
Hotel Transylvania, featuring the voices of Adam Sandler (Dracula), Selena Gomez (Mavis, Drac's daughter), Andy Samberg (the human boy), David Spade (Griffin the Invisible Man), Steve Buscemi (Wayne the Werewolf), Kevin James (Frankenstein), Molly Shannon (Wanda the Werewolf) and Cee Lo Green (Murray the Mummy), arrives in theaters on September 28.

I just read an opinion (and Tweeted it, for my Twitter followers) that said: "Children laugh about 300 times a day, while adults laugh on average only 15 to 20 times a day."
Now, I don't know how accurate that is. I'm sure some would argue against it (there's always someone who will argue about something) - but I think the concept is sound. And sad.
We lose our childlike qualities as we grow older. Now, many of those changes are positive. We become more responsible (at least, those of us worth our salt do;); we mature emotionally (again: some not all); and we gain valuable life experience.
But we lose wonder. We lose joy. We lose the "magic" of life. And somewhere in there, we lose some of our happiness and laughter.
I guess its inevitable. As children, most of us are protected from the harsh realities of the world. Most of us are ushered slowly (and hopefully responsibly) into the difficulties of life. We slowly see the innocence peel away. And then one day - it happens. We're worried about school issues, tax rates, and our cholesterol.
I'm currently walking the line. I balance the checkbook, worry about retirement, have to budget for braces. But I make a conscious effort to hang onto the joys of my youth. I still love my comicbook heroes. I love the feel of riding my bike. I love to lay on the floor and draw with my kids.
I think that the realities of life in this realm will always wear us down. But I'm here to tell you that there ARE reasons to find true joy. Seek and you shall find. Don't know where? Start simply: take time to sit and marvel at the majesty and glory of a magnificent sunrise. Make a conscious effort to find true joy.

Comfort – Add on to anger Management
Disclaimer - I own nothing.
She opened the door slowly; she didn't feel like company, she felt like curling up into a ball and ignoring the world for a while. She felt like feeling sorry for herself, and crying, pretty much what she had been doing all evening. She'd ignored the calls and let it divert to voicemail, she'd read the texts but didn't respond to them. They meant well, they all meant well, but right now the only company she wanted was her own, but whoever was the other side of her front door was bloody insistent and wouldn't go away. She looked through the spy whole on the door; desperately trying not to make a sound, but when she saw who it was she knew damn well he wasn't going to leave.
She opened the door slowly, not wide enough to let him in, just wide enough to speak to him. "Boyd?" She said sounding distinctly unimpressed. "What do you want?"
"I thought I'd see if you were okay, you've had a tough couple of days, I just wanted to check."
"Well thanks, I'm fine though." She went to close the door but was stopped by his hand preventing it. "Boyd I really don't feel like company right now." The emotion in her voice was clearly evident before she got to the end of the sentence.
"What do you feel like?"
"Being alone, so please will you just go." This time it wasn't just emotion in her voice, she was crying.
Boyd pushed back the door, and she put up no resistance to him, he put his arms around her and gently held her, closing the door behind him. "It's okay Frankie, it's okay." He spoke gently to her, putting one hand against the nape of her neck and soothing her softly, the other hand placed on her back, and he held her as she cried, eventually she placed her arms around him and held on to him, grateful for the comfort he was giving her, comfort she needed so much, but was too proud and too stubborn to ask for. She buried her head into his chest and sobbed as his fingers tried to gently stroke the tension from her neck. As she eventually pulled away he placed his hand against her face. "Better?"
"Not really, now I just feel stupid."
"You're my boss Boyd."
"Well hopefully I'm your friend too."
"You know what I mean."
"Why don't we sit down and talk about this."
"This whole caring sharing Boyd is becoming a bit scary you know."
"Why?" He said following her as she walked back into her lounge.
"Because it's not you, you're a shouter, a swearer, I'm not saying it's wrong, but it's what we're used to."
"Frankie someone broke into our lab and scared the living daylights out of you, what sort of boss, no actually what sort of person would I be if I didn't give a shit?"
"I know you care, we all know you care, but you care in your way, and to be honest it's never been the group hugs type of care has it?"
"But this is different."
"Because I could see how scared you were, and it made me feel….."
"Made you feel what?"
Boyd fidgeted awkwardly in his seat. "I don't know, responsible in a way, and guilty."
"Why do you need to feel guilty, it wasn't your fault."
"I felt guilty because I shouted at you, because I accused you of not locking up properly, because you were too scared to tell me what really happened."
"That's not true, I lied because I felt like I should have done more to stop him, not because I was afraid of you."
"You're not a police officer Frankie, you're a scientist, you don't have the training to deal with something like this, and you shouldn't feel in anyway responsible for what happened."
"Well thank you, I'm not sure it makes any difference to the way I feel."
"So tell me how you feel."
"Tell me how you feel, talk to me about it."
Frankie smiled nervously, "I can't."
"Why the hell not?"
"Because it's you, and it, well it just feels…weird I guess."
"I am going to go and make a coffee, and when I return you'd better start talking Frankie, because I'm not leaving till you do."
Boyd walked back into the lounge with two coffees, and handed one to her, he nodded his head at the mess of cables and equipment around her TV. "What happened there?"
"My Mum, she came round to set something to record for me, but it isn't working, and I kind of lost my temper when I tried to sort it out."
"Do you want me to sort it out for you?"
"It's fine, I can do it."
"Yeah I know you can, I was just offering a hand." Before she could reply he was on his hands and knees in front of her TV. "Ah, that's your problem, one of you scart leads has a dodgy plug, have you got a spare?"
"No, I'll get another one when I'm out shopping."
"Well I can fix this one for now, okay?"
"Yes Dad."
He looked over his shoulder at her a smiled. "There all sorted." He stacked everything back neatly as it should have been, and stood back up.
"You're welcome, now, where were we?"
"In my sitting room."
"I think you were about to start talking about your feelings, about how you felt after what happened."
"God this feels like torture."
"Because it's you, it's like trying to talk about sex with my Dad."
"We could talk about sex if you'd rather."
"I said we could…."
"Yeah I heard, I just wasn't sure I'd got it right."
"I was kidding Frankie." His eyes met hers and held her gaze for what seemed like forever, he slowly leant forward.
Frankie pulled away hurriedly. "What are you doing?"
"Well, I was going to kiss you."
"Because I wanted to."
"But, why did you want to, you don't have to try and make me feel better Boyd, not in that way."
"Contrary to popular belief Frankie, I am in fact human, and a man and I fancy the pants off you. There is that plain enough for you."
She tried desperately to try and supress the little giggle that was trying to escape her lips, but it just turned into that smile, the impish one that did it for him every time. "Are you serious?" She said in a quiet voice.
This time it was Frankie that leant forward and placed her lips gently to his, it was soft and gentle, even when it became more heated it still remained soft and gentle, every kiss, every touch, and every stroke was soft and tender and gentle. He was in bed, the complete opposite of what he was in everyday life, and lying in his arms after they'd made love she couldn't help but smile as that thought went through her mind.
"What are you thinking about?" He asked noticing her smile.
"Nothing really, oh except what a big soppy pussy cat you are."
"Don't spread it around; I have a hard earned reputation as a bastard to uphold."
"My lips are sealed." She replied and kissed him, he linked his fingers through hers as they lay together.
"Were you scared?"
"What of you?"
"No idiot, at work, when he attacked you?"
She laid her head against his chest, not wanting him to look into her eyes. "I'm okay."
"I didn't ask you how you are; I asked if you were frightened." He placed his hand under her chin and lifted her head to look into her eyes.
"I was terrified; I thought he was going to hurt me, or worse."
"See, it isn't difficult is it."
"What isn't?"
"Talking about how you feel." His hand moved from her chin to her face, his thumb stroking her cheek.
"I hate it; it makes me feel weak and vulnerable."
"We're all weak and vulnerable against people like him, but the main thing is you weren't hurt, you're okay, physically at least, but you need to talk to someone about it, Grace maybe, or someone professional."
"Don't give me any of that I'm okay crap Frankie, you're not, I could see it when you opened the door, you were in bloody tears."
"Maybe I just wanted a big strong man to hold me."
"I'll hold you any time you want me to."
"Do you mean that?"
"You bet."
"This isn't just a one off thing then, we're not going to get back to work and forget all about it."
"Not unless you want to."
"Oh I definitely don't want to, I just didn't know if…if it was allowed you know."
"I don't know how we'll deal with work, but I know I don't want this to be a one off, but promise me something will you."
"That you'll speak to someone, about what happened."
"Okay, I promise."
"Good, now do you have any food in your kitchen, because I have built up quite an appetite?"
"So have I, but what I want isn't in the kitchen." Frankie started to kiss down his chest, giggling as she disappeared beneath the duvet.
The End

When I first met Ben and Emily earlier this year, we immediately bonded over a discussion of our favorite strategic boardgames. If you asked Emily, she booked me because I was "friendly" and "take beautiful pictures". If you asked Ben, it's because I play his favorite character in Battlestar Galactica 😛 That was a first! Needless to say, we were a perfect match! ^_~
I had the honor of photographing their gorgeous fairytale wedding at the Rose Garden just outside the Woodland Park Zoo. Roses are Emily's favorite flower, so the Rose Garden was perfect! From her princess dress to the gorgeous rose-themed decor, everything about this wedding was just magical. Special thanks to my second shooter Candice Hackett of Ivy & Tweed for capturing some of the beautiful images below. Here's a sneak peek of some of my favorites from this memorable day!
Even the resident zoo pet peacock stopped by to congratulate the happy couple! 😀
Congratulations Ben & Emily and wishing you a lifetime of happiness, joy, and love!

Business VoIP (voice over internet protocol) handset manufacturer and supplier Yealink has been honoured with a prestigious award from independent global research organisation Frost & Sullivan.
The award – the 2012 Global Frost & Sullivan Award for Growth leadership – was presented to Yealink in recognition of its considerable and concerted expansion in the field of international business VoIP phone sales.
Frost & Sullivan said it had identified an 83% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in Yealink's shipments of business VoIP handsets between 2009 and 2011 – making the company one of the world's most successful providers of business VoIP phones.
Commenting on Yealink's performance, Alaa Saayed, ICT team leader with Frost & Sullivan, said that his organisation had also recognised the extent both of the value for money and of the functional benefits of all Yealink's internet protocol (IP) telephony products. Saayed said:
"Growing its SIP phone sales year over year, Yealink has achieved this leadership position due to successfully applying a best-bang-for-the-buck strategy, providing the highest ratio of value to cost, leveraging extensive customer international knowledge, and growing its partner relationships. The company's IP devices have gradually gained the reputation of high-quality endpoints that offer compelling functionality at a compelling price point."
Frost & Sullivan also commended Yealink for the compatibility of its products, with many global IP telephony platforms, including Asterisk – the specialist software solution deployed by a growing number of business VoIP provider and VoIP reseller firms.
In presenting the award, Frost & Sullivan is understood to have taken into account Yealink's performance in the production and distribution not only of IP telephony desktop phones, but also of USB business VoIP phones and IP telephony video phones.
Saayed, meanwhile, said he felt that the company was now in a good position to build even further on the considerable gains it had achieved in the international business phone systems market.

A brush and timber blaze has blackened at least 1,000 acres in the San Jacinto Mountains overlooking Hemet where two mountain highways are closed, small-scale evacuations have been ordered and officials say the flames may burn for days.
"I'd say the potential is for several thousand acres," said U.S. Forest Service spokesman John Miller.
There's no likelihood that Highways 243 or 74 will reopen before Tuesday, July 16, he said.
Twelve hand crews have been assigned to the incident, but they've cut fire lines around only 5 percent of the fast-growing perimeter.
A federal incident command management team has been summoned, meaning that the blaze will likely continue for days, Miller said.
"There have been structures damaged – unknown number or extent of damage," Cal Fire officials said in a written statement issued at 6:55 p.m.
The Mountain Fire was reported at 1:43 p.m. Monday near the mountaintop community of Mountain Center, which is at the intersection of Highways 243 and 74.
Within hours, evacuations were ordered for The Living Free Animal Sanctuary along with Bonita Vista and Fleming Ranch. Bonita Vista has about 20 homes and Fleming Ranch has four, fire officials said.
An evacuation center was set up at Hemet High School, 41701 E. Stetson Ave. in Hemet.
And a shelter for large and small animals has been opened at the San Jacinto Animal Shelter, 581 South Grand Avenue in San Jacinto. The phone: 951-358-7387.
The fire jumped Highway 243 near Keenwild, where it burned through a Forest Service helicopter base and continued east-southeast through sparsely inhabited portions of the San Bernardino National Forest, said Miller.
"While there's not a lot of homes, they're out there," he cautioned.
Riverside County Animal Services has been in touch with staff at Living Free, but they haven't requested assistance evacuating animals from the shelter, Public Information Officer John Welsh said. An animal services official is standing by at the fire command post, he said. If necessary, the San Jacinto Valley Animal Campus could be opened to house smaller animals and some horses, Welsh said.
Six air tankers, four helicopters and 421 firefighters are swarming the blaze, Riverside County Fire Department officials said.

Artificial aquarium décor range from realistic to whimsical and wild. They offer creative hobbyists a means to express their personality. But more importantly, artificial decorations are a simple, carefree way to provide aquarium inhabitants with a sheltered, stress-free environment.
Artificial Plants
Artificial plants are perfect for beginners or even seasoned hobbyists who keep large active fish, like cichlids, that dig or destroy live plants. Also, artificial plants are ideal for breeding or quarantine tanks, providing much needed shelter in a simple and attractive manner. They are an excellent low-maintenance alternative, offering many benefits, when live plants are not a practical option.
