AMERICUS, Ga. - Due to a poor shooting performance and a struggle to score from inside, the women's basketball team at Georgia College & State University (17-7, 10-4 PBC) was ousted at Georgia Southwestern State University (11-13, 6-8 PBC) 73-61 Wednesday night (Feb. 17) in the Storm Dome.
The Bobcats shot .267 (16-60) from the floor and finished the game with 15 turnovers. At one stretch in the first half, the Hurricanes went on a 16-0 run and led by as many as 21 points, with Georgia College finding itself down 39-21 at the half.
Gray native Chimere Jordan led the squad with 25 points, nine rebounds and four steals. Senior guard Shandrea Moore (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) was second on the team with eight points and also had three assists. Mandi Dudish (Snellville, Ga.), who has battled an injury most of the season, was able to give some solid minutes tonight. The junior guard had seven points, hitting two-of-four from downtown.
Reigning Peach Belt Conference Player of the Week Antoinette Reames (Orlando, Fla.) continued to be a blocking machine as she recorded three swats against Georgia Southwestern. The senior forward has posted 19 blocks in the last three games and is now tied for 12th all-time in the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) with UNC Pembroke's Jennifer Lance (1998-2002) at 126.
Georgia College attempted to make a comeback in the second frame as they outscored the 'Canes 40-36 but was unable to overcome the hole dug in the first half.
Despite the loss, GCSU clinches a playoff spot at 10-4 in conference play, and could still finish in any of the top four spots in the West Division with three games left.
The Bobcats are back in action at home in the Centennial Center Saturday, Feb. 20 against Columbus State University for Homecoming. Georgia College won the catfight earlier this season 53-45 in Columbus.
The GCSU Department of Athletics, winners of the 2008-09 PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Georgia College prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the Bobcats' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

LONDON (Reuters) - Climate change drove woolly mammoths to the edge of extinction and then humans finished them off, according to a Spanish study on Tuesday that adds to the debate over the demise of the Ice Age behemoths.
Using climate models and fossil remains, the researchers determined that warming temperatures had so shrunk the mammoths' habitat that when humans entered their territory about 6,000 years ago the species were already hanging by a thread.
"The collapse of the climatic niche of the mammoth caused a significant drop in their population size, making woolly mammoths more vulnerable to the increasing hunting pressure from human populations," the researchers wrote in the journal PLoS Biology.
There has been a spirited debate among scientists about what drove animals like the woolly mammoth into extinction, noted David Nogues-Bravo, a researcher at Museo Nacional Ciencias Naturales in Spain, who led the study.
Some argue that climate change was to blame while others promote the "blitzkrieg" or "overkill" theory proposed by University of Arizona scientist Paul Martin in 1967 that humans armed with primitive weapons devastated populations of animals that never previously had encountered people.
Untangling the two causes of extinction to determine which played the bigger role has proved tricky, with many studies looking to back one theory or the other, Nogues-Bravo said.
His team's approach was to compare a climate model with fossil remains collected from different points in time between 6,000 years ago and 126,000 years ago to analyze the individual role humans and the environment played.
This showed that warming climate had pushed the animals that thrived in cold dry tundra to the brink of extinction when humans pushed into their habitat mainly restricted to Arctic Siberia by 6,000 years ago.
The researchers estimated that based on the mammoth population at the time, humans would only have had to kill one animal each every three years to push the species to extinction.
"Our analyses suggest that the humans applied the coup de grace and that size of the suitable climatic area available in the mid-Holocene was too small to host populations able to withstand increased human hunting pressure," the researchers wrote.

Xyratex offers Lustre clusters
HPC here we come
OEM disk subsystem supplier Xyratex, facing lost sales due to NetApp buying Engenio, is to supply complete, factory-configured Lustre cluster systems to its OEM channel for HPC customers.
As well as supplying disk array subsystems to OEM partners, Xyratex supplies hard disk drive manufacturing test and analysis equipment to a shrinking pool of hard disk drive manufactures, soon to be just three; Seagate, Toshiba and Western Digital.
The ClusterStor 3000 is based on the acquisition of ClusterStor and its technology late last year. As a parallel file system Lustre is popular in HPC circles, with 70 of the top 100 HPC systems using it as of November 2010, according to the Top500 organisation. There is a single Lustre community operating under the auspices of the OpenSFS, of which Xyratex intends to become a top-level sponsor.
Lustre systems have traditionally been supplied, Xyratex says, as three components, comprising the disk shelves, RAID controllers and Lustre servers. Xyratex is integrating the three parts together and shipping them as the ClusterStor 3000, based on Scalable Storage Units (SSUs) with a single part number.
Xyratex says "The SSU consolidates and integrates traditional block storage, network and file system components into a single building block that delivers a linear scaling unit in file system performance and capacity". SSUs are interconnected by InfiniBand, and both InfiniBand and 10gigE are available for client access.
As the Lustre software is pre-installed, the system is pre-tuned and clients are set up in the factory as well, Xyratex claims this can save saving customers up to 38 days of work compared to competing Lustre-based arrays. With the system being able to operate as a configured storage cluster in less than a claimed four hours from being unpacked, this saves customers up to four and a half days more.
Basically you get your ClusterStor 300 up and running a month or more before you would a competing Lustre system; that's the Xyratex pitch.
A ClusterStor File System Gateway option provides CIFS access for Windows, SMB v2.0 access for Mac OD+S and NFS access for Linux clients. There is a ClusterStor Manager which provides a single administration interface to provision, configure and monitor a ClusterStor storage cluster. Xyratex provides a 1gigE management port.
By entering the HPC market, Xyratex is competing with DataDirect Networks, NetApp's Engenio unit, and Panasas. As a simple comparison Panasas' PAS 12 base enclosure is a 4U, 40TB box with the maximum rack capacity being 400TB with a bandwidth of 150GB/sec.
DataDirect's SFA10000 has a 4U, 60 drive, 180TB capacity base box, 1.8PB per rack and 3.6PB in its 2-rack guise. It can have a mix of SSDs, SAS and SATA 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch drives and scales beyond 240GB/sec.
A ClusterStor 3000 has an 84-drive, 192TB SSU capacity and scales up to 1.5PB per rack and 1TB/sec I/O bandwidth. The drives are 6Gbit/s nearline SAS disk disk drives and SSDs. It also supports 10,000rpm 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch disk drives. A a single SSU offers 2.5GB/sec.
Ken Claffey, Xyratex' senior director for ClusterStor business line management, said: "Our capacity numbers that your reference [above] are 'useable' capacity with RAID 6 data protection, I believe the DDN numbers your reference are just raw numbers (we are over 2PB per rack raw). ... I ... believe that Panasas is just RAID 5, not RAID 6."
He also said: "The DDN SFA10K today requires additional servers per system to act as the Lustre OSS in order to provide you file level access to the system (DDN refer to this config as the Exascaler; in doing so you lose 1-2 of the their 4U 60 expansion JBODs, reducing their density by a further 10-20 per cent per rack). The SFA10K as standard configuration is purely a block device. DDN does not offer integrated storage cluster management, which both ourselves and Panasas do."
This is Xyratex' first HPC offering and there will, no doubt, be further ClusterStor models. You should be able to find out more information here.
The ClusterStor 3000, with a base configuration of 7SSUs, will be available through Xyratex OEMs in the fourth quarter of 2011. ®

Texas Man Sells His Bald Head as Advertising Space
A Texas man is selling the bare skin on top of his head as space for businesses to buy as advertising space. Would you ever sell your skin to be stamped with a business' logo? If there is not hair to fill the bald space, should a store's advertisement take it?
Texan Brandon Chicotsky has been placing temporary tattoos on his bald head to promote businesses. A unique entrepreneur, Chicotsky has been getting a lot of attention for the shops he helps and for the way he is getting them this attention.
Sure, these tattoos are not permanent. He will not have to live with these choices of advertisement for the rest of his life, but will the story of what he did follow him to the grave?
Chicotsky began his weird advertising a while ago on his website, Bald Logo. Here, he sells space for promotion on his own head. He is not alone either. Two other men, all apart of the "bald angelicals" have been treating their noggins like billboards.
The majority of Chicotsky's clients have been local Austin businesses. Each business is given its own temporary tattoo design for the skull, and the businesses keep flocking to this unusual ad technique. Why? Does it really work?
Well, these ads do get a lot of attention. It turns out that this idea is not just to benefit the people that pay for the space, but it is more for the kids.
The New York Daily News explains that, "Part of Bald Logo's profits benefit children with alopecia areata, a disease that causes hair loss." Chicotsky himself suffered from the disease, allowing for the open space on his head to sell for profit.
Would you do the same? Now that you know this is not another man looking for a "get rich quick" scheme, would you offer your own head to benefit many others?

For three quarters, the Cotton Bowl was a defensive game. In the fourth quarter, both offensives exploded and began trading touchdowns. The fire inside Gus Johnson that had been contained all night, was slowly rising for what we surely all knew was going to happen. Missouri took a 34-31 lead with three minutes left and it seemed a certainty that Oklahoma State would at least tie, if not take the lead outright in dramatic fashion. OSU started eating up chunks of yardage and then—bam—Missouri won 41-31. The Law of Gus.
The Cowboys started on their own 25 and quickly found themselves with fourth-and-long with two minutes to go, still inside their own 30-yard line. Then, a huge conversion to midfield. Then, some more early-down screwing around until what looked to be a long strike on third down, to put them inside field goal range. This is exciting! But it was overturned as incomplete on review.
No matter, Clint Chelf took off on the next play to the Mizzou 26; OSU was in field goal range with a minute and a half left to go. They took a shot into the endzone to no avail and just had to not screw up on third down. At the very least, we're going to overtime.
Yeah. Chelf was strip-sacked on a play action drop back—maybe Gundy felt he needed to pick up some more yardage to safely get the field goal—and Mizzou scooped up the ball and (very, very slowly) returned it for a touchdown. Game over.
This is the argument against just picking whatever team is losing and pulling for them in a late, close game in which you have nothing personally invested. The best way to watch a game like that is to hope for unadulterated chaos, not chaos to reach a specific end. If you were pulling for the Okies there, you saw the strip sack happen in slow motion and, like the broadcast, you were left momentarily speechless. It was still a thrilling finish but it tripped you up because it didn't end according to the plan.

Crosby Returns; Back in Lineup for Game 2by Sam Kasan / Pittsburgh Penguins
Penguins captain Sidney Crosby makes his postseason debut Friday night in Game 2 against the NY Islanders at CONSOL Energy Center in the opening round Stanley Cup playoff series.
Crosby, who missed Game 1 Wednesday and the last 12 games of the regular season with a broken jaw, met with his doctor Thursday after practice and was cleared to return to game action.
"I'm cleared to play tonight," Crosby said. "I'm excited to get back in there and play in the playoffs.
|Sidney Crosby (Getty Images)
"(The doctor) was around and I wasn't sure if he would give me the OK or even consider it. I'm happy that he did and happy to be back. ... He's comfortable with me getting hit at this point. That's the biggest thing. He has to be comfortable putting me out there. To hear him say that allows me to be comfortable, too."
Crosby, 25, skated with his usual linemates Chris Kunitz and Pascal at Friday's morning skate. He also worked with the team's top power-play unit.
Crosby said his conditioning is as good as it can be without game action, but there will be some rust to work off after missing a month's worth of games.
"It's going to take an adjustment period stepping into the playoffs after missing that much time," Crosby said. "That being said, this is when you want to play. I'm pretty excited."
Crosby hasn't played a game since a Brooks Orpik shot was deflected and the puck struck him in the mouth March 30 against the Islanders. Crosby had surgery and major dental work following the game.
Crosby, who lost some weight following the surgery because he couldn't eat solid foods, resumed skating April 15 with strength and conditioning coach Mike Kadar while wearing a shield around his jaw.
Crosby returned to full team practice April 26, a day after having several root canals on his teeth.
Crosby finished third (tied) in the NHL scoring race with 56 points (15G-41A) in 36 games this season despite playing in 12 fewer games. From the day he was injured (March 30) it took 25 days until he was past in the scoring race – Tampa Bay's Martin St. Louis (April 24).
Crosby led the NHL in points per game (1.56) and was named team MVP for the 2012-13 campaign.
Crosby was named as the team's nominee for the Bill Masterton Award – given to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey – after returning to his high level of play following two injury-plagued seasons with a concussion and neck injury.

PROVIDENCE, R.I.—Johnson & Wales University (11-1) earned their eight consecutive victory Monday afternoon with a 5-4 victory against an undermanned UMass Boston men's tennis team (6-8) at the Moses Brown Courts.
Despite playing without their normal number third and fourth singles players, the Beacons nearly reached .500 for the first time all season. Seniors Sean Cullen (Medway, Mass.) and Charles Lai (Boston, Mass.) each finished 2-0 on the afternoon and Jack Wang (Suzhou, China) added a crucial victory at third singles for the Beacons in defeat.
The Wildcats, who sit in first place in the Great Northeast Atlantic Conference, earned their eight-straight victory and improved to 4-0 on the year at home.
Cullen and Lai opened the match with a dominating 8-1 score at number one doubles, to give the Beacons their first and only lead of the match.
Jorge Mancebo and Grzegorz Wala evened the match up for the Wildcats, as they defeated Brian Sou (Revere, Mass.) and Jon Feng (Waukesha, Wisc.) 8-5 at third-flight doubles.
Johnson & Wales took their first lead with a win at number two doubles. Jason Chavenson and Jake McGuire downed Lyle Analetto (Belmont, Mass.) and Wang 8-5 in a tight match.
UMass Boston tied the match at 2-2, when Cullen earned a straight-set 6-3, 6-0 over Andre Barbero at first-flight singles.
Wala responded with a big win for Johnson & Wales, as he knocked off Feng 6-2, 6-1 at number six singles.
Lai evened the match right back at 3-3, when he cruised to a 6-0, 6-2 victory at number two singles.
Johnson & Wales grabbed the lead back at number four singles, as Mancebo captured a 6-0, 6-1 victory over Analetto.
The Wildcats clinched the match victory at number five singles, as Adam Beady knocked off Sou 6-0, 6-2.
Wang claimed the final point of the afternoon for UMass Boston, as he came back from a first-set loss, to earn a 3-6, 6-3, (10-2) victory over Chavenson.
UMass Boston will return home Wednesday to host Salem State University on Senior Day. The Beacons will honor their six senior members before the start of the match.

Social Development and Achievement Motivation
How is social knowledge formed, and how does it affect the social functioning and adaptation of children and adolescents? Most people are familiar with the dramatic accomplishments of young children in learning various cognitive and physical skills, such as language and walking, within a short period of time. By the time children enter school, they have also learned a great deal about their social world, including knowledge about social categories, such as gender and race, and knowledge about other attributes of persons, including authority relationships and roles. My research is concerned with the acquisition of such kinds of social knowledge and its implications for children's identity development, perceptions of competence, choices, and behaviors.
One major focus of my research concerns when and how children's growing knowledge about gender influences their own behaviors. Numerous observations suggest that at around 3-5 years of age, children become very interested in learning how the sexes differ and making sure that they themselves behave in accordance with gender norms. I am examining how both cognitive and socialization processes, such as division of labor in the home, affect the acquisition of knowledge about gender-related stereotypes and norms. I am also examining how this knowledge, in turn, influences the rigidity of children's gender-typed preferences and behaviors across the preschool and early school years.

We have all seen those graphics depicting that success is anything but a smooth straight line. And though we know this logically, we all secretly hope that for us our success - be it personal or professional, family and or financially related - comes quickly, easily, and stays forever.
Many of us jumped into this entrepreneurial adventure with this secret hope buried deep in our hearts - for us the fairy tale will come out differently. And yes, it is human nature for us to view ourselves as the exception - for we are very exceptional. But soon enough a few years into this adventure it feels less like an iconic fairy tale and more like an episode of "Naked and Afraid."
Our fearlessness is a bit more tapered and our ability to bounce back is just a smidge more sluggish than it use to be. Success is not a straight smooth line. Success is the greatest adventure in which you wonder more often than not "What did I get myself into?"
As more and more women enter the entrepreneurial workplace, they realize that success seems fleeting not stable. In the August issue of the print and digital publication, EmpiHER® magazine(), Ali Craig (), Jenni Parker Brown (), Stacey Laniox () and the EmpiHER® team tackle what success means for the modern woman.
Covering the idea of success from all angles like, Why You Never Seem To Have Enough Money to How To Build A Successful and Satisfying Brand, the EmpiHER® team has the modern entrepreneurial woman covered.
As editor in chief, Ali Craig says: "This EmpiHER® issue is dedicated to finding the ease (and making more of it) in the midst of the struggle for success as entrepreneurs and women. Being an entrepreneur is an adventure like none others. It isn't about playing it safe. It is about playing it smart."

We've learned "biblically correct" Carrie Prejean will lose her Miss California USA crown today because she doesn't play well with others.
Sources connected with the pageant tell us even Donald Trump has now had it with Carrie, because she's violating her contract by not getting clearance to do her extracurricular stuff.
We're also told Carrie has been a no-show for appearances she was supposed to make for the pageant organization.
The firing, we're told, is strictly based on Carrie breaching her contract. It's not based on her political and moral views.
Carrie is getting her walking papers this afternoon.
The new Miss California USA will be Miss Malibu Tami Farrell.

Santos predicts 'beginning of a new Colombia' after victory
Colombians voted Sunday to give President Juan Manuel Santos four more years to clinch his signature project — a peace deal with the nation's guerrillas that might end a half century of civil conflict.
With 99 percent of the vote counted, Santos had won 51 percent to 45 percent for former Finance Minister Óscar Iván Zuluaga.
Months of whiplash polls and bitter recriminations boiled down to a difference of about 900,000 ballots in a race that was largely seen as a referendum on the ongoing peace talks in Havana with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
After he plowed through a crowd of supporters and white-clad children waving cutouts of doves, Santos said he was determined to clinch a peace deal.
"This is the end of more than 50 years of violence in our country and the beginning of a new Colombia with more freedom and social justice," said Santos, 62. "It's a Colombia that will be at peace with itself."
Santos upset Zuluaga, 54, who had won the May 25 first-round election by three points and had been leading in some polls before Sunday's balloting.
In his concession speech, Zuluaga accepted the results but said he had battled a candidate who had "all the machinery of the state" in his favor. He also called on the administration to listen to the almost 7 million people who voted against it.
"We've waged a battle full of ideas, proposals and dreams for Colombia," he said. We "demand a voice in creating the policies around a negotiated peace."
Zuluaga became a contender on the back of popular former President Álvaro Uribe, who led the country from 2002 to 2010, and has become a harsh critic of Santos.
On Sunday, shortly after he voted, Uribe said the election was tinged with "sadness" because the FARC and criminal gangs had been "threatening to massacre Zuluaga's voters" and forcing people at gunpoint to vote for Santos.
Observers did not echo those allegations. And the Ministry of Defense and other officials said the election was largely peaceful. The only report of election violence emerged from the northern state of Chocó, where National Liberation Army (ELN) guerrillas burned two vehicles and intimidated voters. There were also reports of at least 141 voting irregularities.
Santos staked his reelection on being the only candidate who could guarantee the continuity of peace talks with the FARC, which began in late 2012. Last week, he doubled down by announcing that the ELN rebel group — the country's second-largest — might also seek an agreement.
Zuluaga, however, tapped into national unease about what might be lost at the bargaining table. He accused Santos of making too many concessions, and he demanded that the FARC cease all hostilities as preconditions for the talks to continue.
As Zuluaga insisted that he wanted "peace with conditions," Santos accused him of being a warmonger willing to scuttle the talks.
In the end, Santos' narrative seems to have won.
"I didn't vote for Santos because I like him," said Aura Cecilia Páez, a 45-year-old schoolteacher in Bogotá. "This was a vote for either war or peace, and we're all tired of war."
Jaime Lima, a 43-year-old Bogotá jeweler, also said he was a reluctant Santos voter.
"I would rather have a flawed peace process than a perfect war," he explained.
In the United States, home to 183,000 registered Colombian voters, Zuluaga's message rang loud. He won 76 percent of the vote to Santos' 22 percent — albeit with a low turnout.
While Sunday was a vote of confidence for the peace process, Santos may not have smooth sailing during the next four years, warned Maria Luisa Palomino, an analyst with the Eurasia Group. As his government seeks legislation that will give the peace talks shape, "he will face a hostile Congress" and the opposition led by Uribe, who recently won a senatorial seat, she said.
A final peace deal will also require approval in a national referendum, where Uribe, Zuluaga and their Centro Democrático party might try to derail it.
On Sunday, Santos asked for his rivals' support.
"We've heard your message," he said. "This will not be peace with impunity — this will be peace with justice."
Santos will also enter his second term burdened with election promises. As his candidacy seemed to falter, he offered jobs, free homes and made allies with a wide range of unions, leftist movements and progressive political parties that are likely to demand rewards.
In many ways, Uribe was a central figure in Sunday's vote. Santos had served as his defense minister, and Uribe firmly backed his candidacy in 2010. But as Santos renewed ties with Venezuela and began exploring a negotiated peace deal, Uribe became his biggest critic — founding a separate political party and promoting Zuluaga to challenge Santos.
The election brings stability to one of the United States' staunchest regional allies. The U.S. has pumped almost $9 billion in military aid into Colombia since 2000, helping break the back of guerrilla violence.
But the White House has also praised the peace process with the guerrillas, which both nations consider a terrorist organization.
The vote is also likely to calm Colombia's neighbors. Zuluaga had said he would take a much more combative stance against violations of free speech and human rights in Venezuela and Ecuador. Since taking office in 2010, Santos has mended ties with those countries, even as he was criticized for turning a blind eye to abuse.
Despite the white-knuckle nature of Sunday's race, less than half of eligible voters cast a ballot. Nationally, about 48 percent of Colombia's 33 million voters went to the polls.
John Zapata, 38, of Bogotá decided to take his family to church instead of vote. He said he was tired of the mudslinging, and didn't believe in either candidate.
"They're both the same," he said. "So it doesn't really matter who wins."

los angeles guide3/24/2012
I love a comprehensive city guide and felt that I should add a Los Angeles version. As a native, it pains me when tourists think that Los Angeles is only about seeing the walk of fame and famous hand prints. There's a lot more to the city than people realize! First off, having a car is imperative and sometimes you'll have to drive a little out of the city to enjoy the sights. In the future, I'll make another guide for day-trips from Los Angeles to nearby cities. I've also included a map that I drew at the bottom of the post, to be used as a visual reference!
The Huntington Library
1151 Oxford Road, San Marino. (Cost: $15-$20)
Part botanical garden and part historical museum; the sights are endless. There are elaborate Japanese and Chinese temples that make you feel transported to another land. There's also a teahouse near a rose garden for a relaxing break. It's the perfect way to spend an afternoon!
Venice Beach Canals
Carroll Ct & Eastern Canal Ct, Venice. (Cost: Free)
There are a few streets in Venice that have water-filled canals, it's a weird sight to see in the middle of neighborhoods where cars are everywhere. The best time to go is when the sun is setting, that's when the light makes everything romantic. The beach is also very close and so is the restaurant-lined street Abbot Kinney.
Greystone Mansion
905 Loma Vista Drive, Beverly Hills. (Cost: Free)
If you're into nice overlooking views of the city, or manicured gardens, look no further than Greystone mansion. It has a lot of history but today it's mostly known as the filming location for There Will Blood's final scene. The gardens are intimate and I would bring a picnic to enjoy the scenery. You can't go inside the mansion, but you can walk all around it and it's quite big!
The Getty Museum
1200 Getty Center Drive, Los Angeles. (Cost: Free, Parking: $15)
No city-guide would be complete without the most beautiful building in the city. I've been here countless times and I never get tired of it. The architecture is immaculate, the permanent collection is so beautiful and the gardens are charming. There is also a cafe on site that serves great food for lunch!
Farmer's Market
Fairfax and Third St, Los Angeles
A lovely outdoor market in the center of a West Hollywood, complete with old-fashioned storefronts and plenty of food to choose from. There are tons of candy and ice cream shops as well. I'd recommend eating at Loteria! Grill for good Mexican food.
Topanga State Park
20829 Entrada Rd, Topanga Canyon
If you're the adventurous type, or even just someone who loves mountains and ocean views, I'd recommend visiting Topanga State Park to experience incredible nature. The landscape is very eclectic; you will find forests with waterfalls and see vast lands that resemble vineyards. You probably won't believe that you're still in Los Angeles!
Little Tokyo
South San Pedro St & East 1st St, Los Angeles
For fun, I love visiting the shops of Little Tokyo. The Marukai Market is my favorite for supermarket finds, and the Japanese village has plenty of exotic restaurants to choose from. There's also a Little Tokyo Galleria nearby with even more things to do, such as private-room karaoke and restaurants with traditional tatami seating. Don't forget to drink Boba!
Bouchon Bistro
235 N Canon Dr, Beverly Hills.
Long considered to be my "favorite place to eat", there are locations in Yountville and Las Vegas, but none are more beautiful than the one in Beverly Hills. It sits across from the manicured gardens of the Canon Drive courtyard and the Montage hotel. Rodeo Drive is not far off either, if you want to window shop! Best For: Brunch, Lunch or Romantic Dinner.
Bottega Louie
700 S Grand Ave Los Angeles
The macarons and dessert displays are worth the trip alone, but the food is also really delicious. If you want to be immersed in Downtown L.A. this is the place to visit. There are some great historical buildings nearby like The Millennium Biltmore and the Bradbury Building which are free to walk through. Best For: Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, French Pastries. Skip Dinner which has a two hour wait!
Duke's Malibu
21150 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu
If you ever wanted to "eat on the beach" this will literally plant you on the water. No sand or boardwalks here. My boyfriend and I will come here for a romantic night and request a table by an open window. We always bring our out-of-town guests here, because it is a must-see! If you're in the area you should also visit the Getty Malibu. Best For: Lunch, Sunday Brunch, Dinner, Seafood.
L.A. Diners (my top three)
No trip to L.A. is complete without visiting a diner. This is what America does best, right? In Los Angeles a diner must have: good alternative options (like organic or vegetarian), good fries and a jukebox with lots of songs. I have been to countless, here are my top 3:
1. Swingers. 8020 Beverly Boulevard, Los Angeles. (photo)
After a night on the town, a stop at Swingers for delicious comfort food is a must. You can visit during the day, but late-night snacking always tastes better. You'll probably see a celebrity here too, if that's what you like! What I order: Vegetarian sloppy joe and a chai latte.
2. Cafe 50s. 15045 Ventura Blvd, Sherman Oaks. (photo)
I live in the Valley so of course I have to recommend a visit to this part of Los Angeles. There's also mini-golf nearby at Sherman Oaks Castle Park if you want to feel really retro. What I order: Salmon burger with garlic fries.
3. Cafe 101. 6145 Franklin Ave, Los Angeles. (photo).
After watching a film at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood or seeing a concert at the Hollywood Bowl, this is the place to end the night at. The inside is dark and the food is classic diner fare with a twist. If you're a tourist, you might even see a celebrity as I always see them there (ahem, Ryan Gosling). What I order: Tuna melt with Sweet Potato fries.
Admittedly, I do most of my shopping online, but in person you could visit:
Playclothes. 3100 W Magnolia Blvd, Burbank
A really lovely vintage shop in Burbank, nearby other small vintage shops on a quiet street. The dressing rooms look like the prettiest bedrooms and a cat will likely slink past your leg. Lots of 1920s accessories too.
Old Town Pasadena. W Colorado Blvd & Fair Oaks Ave, Pasadena
There are plenty of shops here if you like major retailers combined with smaller unique stores. Many streets have brick-lined alleyways and it feels like a mini-New York. You could shop at The Loved One, where I spotted a vintage Chanel bag once, and visit the Norton Simon Museum to see ballerina sculptures by Degas. Don't forget an afternoon tea at the Scarlet Tea Room to round out the day.
Amoeba Music. 6400 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles. (photo)
I don't spend too much time in Hollywood, but you can't deny the incredible selection of vinyl records, hard-to-find foreign films and a large collection of cheap VHS tapes, all found at Amoeba. Just down the street you can taste the ultimate burger and fries at In-N-Out. They are all over the city. If you do nothing else from this guide, at least go there!
All locations mentioned above can be seen on this helpful map that I made. Pardon the squiggly drawing of our main highways, this was my first time drawing a map! Also, if you have any questions about visiting, I'll do my best to answer! x
(all photos were taken by me unless noted)

Ahhhhh this is amazing and couldn't of come at a better time! I'll be staying in LA for a few weeks from April 9th and was already wishing I could find a guide like this somewhere. I spent some time in LA a few years ago and found it pretty tricky to escape the typical tourist haunts. You are an absolute gem <3 x Katie-LouiseReplyDeleteReplies
I'm so glad that it will be helpful to you! :) I've seen you mention your impending US roadtrip - it sounds like it's going to be amazing. Hope you have a wonderful time and that you come across a few of these places! xDelete
The funny thing is, there is still so much to do in this city! You selected some of my absolute favorites. The guide makes me really nostalgic as I think about all the years we spent finding these places.ReplyDelete
I think some people don't "get" L.A., but there is more than meets the eye. I love that you made sure to mention In-N-Out. Lol. No visit to L.A. is complete without that!
If I were a tourist, I'd certainly appreciate your list. Well done!Replies
You're right, there's still a ton more to do. I think many people don't get L.A., if I didn't live here my entire life, I would probably be mislead too. All you hear about is the tacky parts of the city, but actual natives don't really get near that stuff haha! xDelete
This is fantastic! LA has never really been on my list of places I'd like to visit (more due to the sun/heat than anything else!) But all of these places are so up my street, you're making me change my mind!ReplyDeleteReplies
That's nice :) The weather is pretty impeccable most of the time, and it's mostly mild, but I know what you mean. There's some places that aren't really on my radar either hehe xDelete
Love that you've done this, I've been thinking of travelling to LA for a while now and getting a locals insight always makes the trip worthwhile.ReplyDelete
Oh, I'm glad! I definitely wanted to show possible travelers a different side of the city :)Delete
Wow. You know, I have never been inetesreted in visiting LA. But these photos change my mind. It looks like a Sophia Coppola movie,the way you capture it. Beautiful, beautiful. CA Tourism should hire you. :DReplyDeleteReplies
Haha! That would be funny. There's a lot of beautiful spots in the city, and you can't really beat being surrounded by mountains and beaches ! xDelete
This is SUCH a gorgeous post! I am definitely bookmarking this for future references - thank you so much for posting! <3_<3Replies
:) Thank you and I hope you do visit sometime! xDelete
This is wonderful! I love blogger-made tour guides, because they offer much more variety and usually better places to visit than the paid & sponsored guides. I hope you do more of these!ReplyDeleteReplies
I so agree! I always look for local advice when traveling, I feel like the majority of guides just include super-crowded places hehe. I hope you give me some tips when you come back from Norway! xDelete
your skills are excellent at drawing !I don't know if I ever go to LA but it's much better than I could imagine it...beautiful places...ReplyDeleteReplies
Haha thanks Lola! Some of my art teachers might disagree with you, but at least I gave it a shot. There's definitely still a lot more to see too! xDelete

Wowowowow! Gorgeous photos! I love LA!ReplyDelete
Thank you, it's a pretty nice place :)Delete
I love this! Every time we drive up to LA, I always make everyone stop at the Venice Beach canals. They're my favorite! And that map is so great! I love this! So happy to see so many familiar places-- I miss LA!ReplyDeleteReplies
That's great! I love the venice canals when the sun sets because it's s romantic. One day I'll go in the daytime and try to explore some more :)Delete
Oh this post takes me back !ReplyDelete
So interesting to see LA through your eyes... Your photos are incredibly beautiful, and thank you for sharing your favourites places ! I'll definitely save the list for my next trip to California :)Replies
How lovely! I was born and raised here, so I suppose that I tend to ignore a lot of the touristy places. Thank you, your photos are great too! xDelete
This is so cool, thanks Valerie! I hope I have the chance to go to LA someday XDReplyDelete
by the way we have a marukai market in são paulo's Asian neighbourhood too, how weird! maybe marukai means market in japanese? ah no, they wouldn't call it market market haha XDReplies
I wonder what Marukai means?? I'm too lazy to even google it right now but that's awesome. I would love to visit Sao Paulo for sure. South America is in my sights sometime soon! I bet you have super awesome tips like where to go for karaoke! ;)Delete
This is great! Thank you so much for posting. I think I will be LA for a photography internship all summer so this is a perfect post!! <3ReplyDelete

Catechism of the Catholic Church (U. S. Edition with Glossary and Index)
by Catholic Church•
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops 2000
Any study of Catholicism must begin with the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Officially promulgated by Pope John Paul II in 1997, it is the first "universal" Catholic catechism since the Reformation and only the second in history. It is an epochal work that expresses the tenets of the Catholic faith consistent with their articulation at the Second Vatican Council, while remaining in organic unity with the tradition of the Church, drawing in abundance on the sources of Sacred Scripture, the Fathers of the Church, the liturgy, and magisterial authority. If one wants to know what the Catholic Church teaches, the Catechism, as John Paul II stated, is the "sure norm."
The beauty and profundity of the text is such that while it was intended as a reference work, it is often read as devotional literature, permeated as it is with a subtle theology of love and communion. It is nevertheless comprehensive in its treatment, covering everything from contraception to the doctrine of the Trinity, from Purgatory to papal infallibility.
The Catechism is organized around the most shared aspects of the Christian faith—for example, the Apostles' Creed, the Ten Commandments, and the Our Father—and so is a welcome tool for facilitating dialogue between all Christians. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, oversaw the drafting of the text, and he has repeatedly pointed to the Catechism as a significant step toward an authoritative interpretation of the "Spirit of Vatican II," toward a cessation of conflicts which have often rent the Church in the aftermath of the council, and toward a rapprochement with those Christians whom the council termed "Separated Brethren."
Indeed, the Catechism of the Catholic Church is a work that deserves a place in every Christian's library.
Looking for both the Latin and English editions? Catechism of the Catholic Church: English and Latin (2 vols.) is available!
Due to copyright restrictions, the Catechism is only available to customers living in the United States, its territories, and Canada.

In addition to a standard Geforce GTX 760 with a blower-style cooler and reference clocks, Gainward has also launched the new Geforce GTX 760 Phantom graphics card.
Based on the 28nm GK104 GPU with 1152 CUDA cores and Nvidia GPU Boost 2.0 technology, the new Geforce GTX 760 Phantom works at 1072MHz base and 1137MHz Boost clock. The Gainward GTX 760 Phantom still comes with 2GB of GDDR5 memory that has been overclocked to 3100MHz (6200MHz effective) and paired up with a 256-bit memory interface.
The GTX 760 Phantom is paired up with new Gainward Phantom dual-fan cooler which has removable fans and that should provide better cooling performance while maintaining or even lowering the noise level when compared to the reference cooler.

2012 Lexus GS450h F Sport review
* New flagship Lexus GS driven in UK * On sale now * Priced from 50,995...
The Lexus GS450h F Sport is the range-topping version of the new GS executive saloon.
It uses a 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine and an electric motor to accelerate from 0-62mph in less than six seconds. However, take things a little easier and it can average 46.3mpg and achieve a CO2 figure of 141g/km.
Lexus claims to have put the emphasis back on driver appeal with the new GS; the F Sport hybrid features a Lexus Dynamic Handling package that incorporates variable-ratio steering and active rear-wheel steering to improve agility.
The GS also comes handsomely equipped, and it features a 12.3-inch wide LCD dashboard display screen that Lexus claims is the biggest ever fitted to a production car.
Whats the 2012 Lexus GS450h F Sport like to drive?
When you move off, the GS450h is in full-electric mode, so its nearly silent. Its only when you ask for more urge that the petrol engine kicks in.
GS450h combines a 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine and an electric motor
The low-down boost of the electric motor gives strong off-the-line acceleration, and the engine is linked to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that instantly sends the revs soaring when you put your foot down.
True, the resulting noise isnt particularly pleasant, but the revs drop right down again when you lift off.
You can also override the CVT and change gear yourself via the gear selector or paddles behind the steering wheel.
F Sport trim includes chassis upgrades over lesser models, for sharper handling
A rotary knob by the gear selector lets you select Sport mode, which sharpens the throttle responses, or Sport+, which also quickens the steering and adjusts the dampers and the rear-steer settings.
The rear-wheel steering, in particular, helps this big car change direction with surprising eagerness, while the steering is quick and well-weighted, which partially makes up for the fact theres little feedback.
Thanks to its adaptive damping and excellent noise insulation the GS450h is generally a relaxing place to spend time, although the ride can become quite unsettled over broken surfaces.
Whats the 2012 GS450h F Sport like inside?
The GS450h has a well-built cabin, and most people should be able to find a comfortable driving position because theres a huge range of electric adjustment.
Dominating the dash is that huge infotainment screen. Unfortunately, its linked to Lexuss Remote Touch Interface, which works like a computer mouse and is very fiddly to use on the move.
Cabin is solid, but can't match an Audi A6 or BMW 5 Series for rear-seat space
Front and rear legroom are good, but the GS isnt as roomy as an Audi A6 or BMW 5 Series; rear-seat passengers over six feet may well wish they had more headroom.
The battery pack in the new GS450h is stacked vertically so it doesnt take up as much boot space as the horizontal one in its predecessor. However, the load space is still rather short.
Should I buy one?
The new GS is a much better car than the old model, and this F Sport is the star of the range.
Its well designed and beautifully made, while all the technology makes it good to drive and impressively clean.
The trouble is, the GS450h F Sport costs 50,995. Thats almost 6000 more than the BMW 535d, which is faster, roomier, more economical and better to drive.

|About Us
About Join-Up ®
While tracking wild mustangs in Nevada as a boy, Monty observed a nonverbal communication between the horses, a silent language he would later call "Equus." Monty incorporates "Equus" into his nonviolent training approach called Join-Up®.
Monty first developed Join-Up® to stop the cycle of violence typically accepted in traditional horse breaking. Convinced there must be a more effective and gentle method, Monty created these consistent set of principles using the horse's inherent methods of communication and herd behavior. The result is a willing partnership in which the horse's performance can flourish to its full potential, rather than exist within the boundaries of obedience. These principles are valuable tools to understanding what motivates horse behavior and increasing effectiveness in any application.
Join-Up training methods are most simply expressed in the process of starting raw horses. Without the use of pain or force the trainer persuades a raw horse to accept a saddle, bridle and rider. Working in a round pen, one begins Join-Up® by making large movements and noise as a predator would and begins driving the horse to run away. She then gives the horse the option to flee or Join-Up®. Through body language, the trainer will ask, "Will you pay me the respect due to a herd leader and join and follow me?" The horse will respond with predictable herd behavior: by locking an ear on her, then by licking and chewing and dropping his head in a display of trust. The exchange concludes with the trainer adopting passive body language, turning her back on the horse and without eye contact, invites him to come close. Join-Up occurs when the animal willingly chooses to be with the human and walks toward her accepting her leadership and protection. This process of communication through behavior and body language and mutual concern and respect, can be a valuable tool to strengthen all other work with horses.
Experienced horse people, including Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, have called Monty's method incredible. Two-time, World's Greatest Horseman winner, Ron Ralls uses Monty's methods in the foundation for his training work as well.
Traditional methods aim to teach the horse to 'DO AS I SAY' and involve the use of pain and intimidation, but Monty focuses on communion with the horse, rather than domination. "For centuries, humans have said to horses, 'You do what I tell you or I'll hurt you,' I'm saying that no one has the right to say, 'you must' to an animal or to another human," Monty said.
Join-Up methods rely on horse and trainer establishing a bond of communication and trust. "You must somehow understand that we as horsemen can do very little to teach the horse. What we can do is to create an environment in which he can learn." Monty says, "We hear that 'actions speak louder than words,' but generally we do not live by it too successfully."
The principles found in Join-Up offer valuable tools for all other work. Riders, trainers, veterinarians, vet techs, farriers, barn managers – virtually anyone handling horses – can use these methods to increase their effectiveness in helping horses fulfill their potential.
Other Applications for Join-Up®
The message of Join-Up® goes far beyond horses. The lesson is also about philosophies of communication and relationships. Join-Up proposes that not just horses, but humans too, thrive in a cooperative and safe environment and falter in a climate of fear and submission. It is clear why corporations, educators, government leaders, physicians, and more, are using Join-Up as a platform for work outside the equine world.
Monty frequently speaks with corporations, translating his theories about rewarding positive behavior with horses, to human applications. Leading corporate communication events, he uses the horse as a model, and shares how more can be accomplished with mutual respect and cooperation than can be accomplished with dominance and aggression. Hundreds of executives from Disney, Merrill Lynch, Jaguar, John Deere and other major corporations have gathered around the round-pen at Flag Is Up Farms, experiencing the Join-Up® demonstration and listening to these new philosophies in management. Ann Marsh of Forbes wrote in the late 1990's Volkswagen "made a remarkable comeback in the U.S. market… at least some of the credit goes to a kind-hearted horse trainer, Monty Roberts." (read Forbes article) Management specialists such as Bob Foxworthy have even based entire leadership development practices around these Join-Up principles.
Educators are applying Join-Up techniques in their classrooms. Recently school administrators, teachers and psychologists have been visiting the Farm in increasing numbers to consider how Join-Up principles offer alternatives to children without the fear of pain or punishment. Using Monty's methods, the Kinghurst Junior School (read article) in Great Britain, has gone from being condemned as a failing school, to being re-classified as a center of excellence. In Spring 2004, the Girl Scouts recognized the valuable lessons in Join-Up with a badge program for their youth. "Make it easy for the child or adult to Join-Up® with you, rather than struggle against you," Monty said.
Monty's principles really amount to common sense and immense patience. He believes that children and horses have the same behavioral patterns. They are both naturally "flight" animals. If you frighten them and resort to confrontation, you'll lose them. Simple one-on-one reassurances and praise reap long term dividends that can all be undone with the quick slamming of a book on a desk or shouting back.
Monty Roberts has used the success of Kingshurst as a blueprint for schools worldwide. Konocti Unified School District in Northern California has just become the first to open its doors and listen in the US. Monty now offers his program Monty's Principles to public and private schools, co-ops and equine therapy groups. Monty's Principles has been developed in cooperation with veteran teachers and experienced administrators in challenging environments. It trains teachers in the use of a method for teaching that employs a horse's communication system of gestures as a metaphor to aid teachers in class instruction, and provides course material for the method. (click here to request info on this program)
"To watch him tame a horse in 30 minutes that has never before been ridden, without resorting to the conventional and fairly brutal breaking methods that usually takes weeks, is quite inspiring. Likewise, to hear from children who probably would have been lost in the system who are now fully engaged, really does make you wonder why more have not listened before."
Paolo Marenghi and the "Nightline" Staff ABC News London Bureau ( Order Nightline Episode by clicking here)
Government agencies, such as the CIA's polygraph division have sought to learn more about Join-Up, relative to the value of body language – based on Monty's many years of observing animals and people. White House representatives have asked to learn more from Monty about fostering confidence and loyalty within organizations (read article). Monty has even taken the principles of his Join-Up methods to Los Alamos National Laboratory, to promote the value in trust and cooperation, as seen in his work with horses.
Medical clinicians are now using the Join-Up communication formula when working with children with autism. These children exhibit a similar level of sensitivity to the horse's in regards to body language, tone of voice, and touch. The non-aggressive, visual based communication that is integral to Join-Up horse training philosophies has proven a useful tool when working with these children's unique needs. (read article)
The Join-Up principles, while originally developed as a tool to work with horses, hold value in an infinite number of applications: some tactical and quantifiable, some more abstract. Join-Up is about a balanced existence, encouraging trust, reliability and comfort from others, but it can only occur when an underlying desire for partnership exists on both sides. With humans, as with horses, communication enables Join-Up. Trust keeps the process alive.
We are always eager to hear new interpretations and success stories! Please send us your Join-Up story.

Story highlights
- Six days of calm weather needed to cut up warship's hull
- Hull of minesweeper to be cut into three parts
- USS Guardian ran aground on Philippine reef in January
Work to cut up the hull of a U.S. Navy warship grounded on a Philippine reef is expected to begin shortly, reports from the Philippines said Monday.
Weather will be the determining factor as to when crews will begin cutting up the wood-and-fiberglass hull of the USS Guardian, which has been stranded on Tubbahata Reef in the Sulu Sea since January 17, a Philippine Coast Guard official said. The 224-foot-long hull is expected to be cut into three parts.
"We need six days of very good weather in order to begin cutting and lifting of the hull," Coast Guard Palawan District Commodore Enrico Efren Evanglista told the official Philippine News Agency.
Salvage crews have identified strong points in the hull of the 1,312-ton minesweeper that can be used to lift chunks of the hull off the reef.
"Most of the work is done below deck. The focus of the salvage team is the preparation of the hull for cutting and lifting," the Coast Guard official said.
The superstructure of the vessel has been removed and taken away from the grounding site on Tubbahata Reef, an environmentally sensitive UNESCO World Heritage Site. About 500 species of fish and 350 species of coral can be found there, as can whales, dolphins, sharks, turtles and breeding seabirds, according to UNESCO.
That means crews are taking extra care in removing parts of the ship that could contain residue from oil and fuel, such as pipe fittings, Efren Evanglista said.
The Guardian is estimated to have damaged about 4,000 square meters (about 43,000 square feet) of the reef. The Navy has pledged to clean up the debris created when waves stripped off pieces of fiberglass covering the wooden hull of the ship and to try to restore the reef as much as possible.
An investigation of the grounding is ongoing. Navy officials said in January that the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, which prepares the digital navigation charts used by the Navy, has reported the location of the reef was misplaced on a chart by nine miles.

10 Hot Girls on Tumblr With Incredibly Messy Rooms
It's a modern cliche: attractive girl goes into her room, stands in front of a mirror, pulls out her phone, clicks, uploads and BANG: Instant eye candy for Tumblr. Notice the glaring absence of "Girl CLEANS room," because, as this photo set shows, it doesn't happen very often. Of course, we could care less if there's a meth-addled wolverine in the room, because we aren't really looking at anything but the girl, but it wouldn't hurt to fold something.
SuppaBadShawty rocks dangerous curves, but 'sup with big messy behind her?
We think we like, but there is a whole lot of scarf-age on that mirror, an unmade bed and is that an upside-down cross?!? Whatever. We're going to hell anyway.
So Skinny Girls' room is messy in the rest of this photo, but trust us: you wouldn't care. At all.
Anna Essecer
Anna is from Russia. In Russia, apparently, room cleans you.
Marisa Amazing
Amazing, indeed, that there is more clothing out of the dresser drawers than inside them.
The Lovely Beautiful
No argument that she is both lovely and beautiful...and messy. Her closet is in perpetual prolapse.
Grace Beraki
Grace seems to be so irresistible that her bed is trying to rise up and make out with her.
It's a New Year's dress, she says. And it looks great on her..... Resolution suggestion: clean room.
That Awkward Moment When I
An intentionally 'hippie' and geeky look, but it works, however that-awkward-moment-when-you...fail to notice that your desk threw up on your bed.
Gina Therese
Not every girl can make lavender hair color work...and even fewer seem to know how to clean up their room.

Scarlet Couture Crop & FloggerItem #8892

Product Description
Kinky Thrills With A Playful Flogger & Crop!
Switch from a flogger to a riding crop with a flick of the wrist thanks to this convenient and kinky combo!
• Discipline your lover with two distinct sensations
• One end of the toy is a riding crop for swatting
• The other end is a flogger for whipping or teasing
• Great for BDSM and role playing
• Measures 3 inches wide and 37 inches long, from top to bottom
• Made from vegan leather for a kinky look
Simplify your sex dungeon accessories with this convenient toy that combines a riding crop and flogger into one handy tool!
A vegan leather riding crop is on one end. The riding crop consists of a round leather disc used to swat your partner. The riding crop works like a paddle to spank your partner's rear or their erogenous zones. But the riding crop has a much smaller surface area, so its impact generally stings more than that of a paddle. You can easily vary the strength of the impact from a gentle tap up to a stinging swat.
A flogger made up of vegan leather strips is on the opposite end of the toy. There are over a dozen strips that you can use for a wide range of stimulation. You can dangle the strips over your lover's nipples or clitoris and gently whisk them – creating a teasing sensation similar to multiple feathers. Or you can pull your arm back and flick your wrist to deliver anything from a playful whisk to a sexy snap.
The crop measures 3 inches wide at the tip and 24.75 inches long from the tip to the bottom of the vegan leather-wrapped handle. The flogger measures 1 inch wide and 19 inches long from the top to the bottom of the handle. Combined, the duo measures 3 inches wide and 37 inches long. It is made from vegan leather, which recreates the look and feel like real leather without harming any animals.

Your audiobook is waiting…
The Football Men
Publisher's Summary
The great footballers and coaches are rarely glimpsed up close. They shield themselves from the tabloids, hide their personalities behind professionalism, and in the words of the cliche, 'do their talking on the pitch'. This book gets up close to them. The Football Men is not a series of celebrity profiles, and it doesn't attempt to unearth secrets in the players' private lives. Rather, it portrays these men as three-dimensional human beings. It describes their upbringings, the football cultures they grew up in, the way they play, and the baggage that they bring to their relationships at work.
This multimillion-pound, multinational world is mostly inhabited by ordinary men. The profiles in this book are sometimes funny, but never breathless or sensational. Some of the profiles in this book are based on interviews; others are the results of time the author spent with that person; sometimes the profile is a story of a country. All are fascinating and shed light on their subject to reveal things you wouldn't expect. From one of the great sports writers of our time, this is a penetrating and surprising collection of articles on the figures that have defined the modern sporting world.

Insightful without being groundbreaking.
There are some great insights of the life and opinions of footballers. Kuper has an appealing sense of wit and is not afraid to scold his subjects if they are moronic. The narrator does well with a myriad of accents to contend with.

Super boring!
I love books about football, but really?? This is more like a Cosmo magazine that something that will actually teach you something.

No consistency !!
After reading the excellent "Why England Lose" I really looked forward to this one. The analysis in that book is superb and perhaps one of my favourites. So when downloading this I was really looking forward to a breakdown on agents, managers, players, chairmen ... basically the people who run football - which is what is indicated in the description.
However, this book sadly delivers on so many levels, and any book that holds Maradona as a God alongside Pele, who delivered the Argentinian public World Cup glory on his own in 1986 and then places Thierry Henri on second row even after citing his "hand" in the French qualification against Ireland deserves a place in the bin - except its a download - so for me the waste basket. It seems to me that this football writer is so far out-of-touch with the British public, he may as well be a politician.
The author, who is based in Paris, has a flair for stats and continually laments the efforts, flexibility, training regimes and pitch coverage of French, Dutch, Italian, Swedish and Brazilian footballers who he states dominate and boss the midfield. He then slates Beckham suggesting he is despised in England. How does he know, he does not live here. He seems to think the British public hate him because of the kickout to Simeone, (which most other football writers play on Simeone's theatrics being the cause of the sending off, as Beckham was laid on the floor at the time) and then goes on to quote his marketing success around the globe in his branding as though it is a bad thing. Did he not earn this success through giving 110% in every match, chasing every ball, giving telling passes and practicing free kicks, not to mention being England's best captain and midfielder for many years. I'm not a Man Utd fan, but if all England footballers had his work ethic and training regime, maybe we would be more successful on the international scene. To suggest his success is now coming to him in the same vein as Ronnie Biggs earned it just shows how out of touch this book is with reality. Why must we always slate England players, and begrudge them reward, yet lament the talents of other footballing nations.
If you want a summary, this simply cannot be classed as a book at all. It is a collection of the authors newspaper articles, which date from 2000. Most of the articles are completely out of date, and nothing inter-connects. There is no single message trying to be conveyed. It's simply a set of newspaper waffle'ings. You cannot compare each profile, as what he writes about Anelka, is completely different to Kaka is completely different to Beckham, is completely different to Cantona and so on. I really do not know if we are supposed to compare the profiles or what. Its completely disjointed.
I'm very disappointed and feel conned into this as I thought it was a book about the Football Men running the game - in effect the author appears to be cashing in on previously published news articles.
This should be really re-branded as a collection of papers, and not sold as a book.

Detailed and insightful
The football media is usually plagued with rehashed stories that bore the fan to death. It is then refreshing to see an author reveal his close encounters and interviews with the footballing elite. From Wengers close purchase of Ronaldo to Ashley Coles ludicrous sale from Arsenal to Chelsea, there will be many things in this book that will intrigue you.
