"He was the best defensive player at any position. I used to stand in the outfield like a fan and watch him make play after play. I used to think WOW, I can't believe this." - Frank Robinson
Nicknamed The Human Vacuum Cleaner for his uncanny ability to gobble up virtually everything hit in his general direction with amazing regularity, Brooks Robinson is widely considered to be the greatest fielding third baseman in baseball history. The winner of a record 16 Gold Gloves at his position, Robinson set the standard against which all other third basemen are judged. Playing the hot corner with style and elegance throughout his 23-year major-league career, Robinson holds almost every lifetime record for third basemen by a wide margin. He played the most games at the position (2,870), compiled the best fielding percentage (.971), accumulated the most putouts (2,697) and assists (6,205), fielded the most chances (9,165), and participated in the most double plays (618). Robinson led American League third basemen in assists eight times and in fielding percentage 11 times. A solid hitter as well, Robinson hit 268 career home runs, knocked in a total of 1,357 runs, amassed 2,848 hits, and posted a lifetime .267 batting average. He had his greatest season in 1964, when he captured A.L. MVP honors by establishing career highs with 28 home runs, 118 runs batted in, and a .318 batting average. Robinson also placed in the top five in the balloting on four other occasions.
Born in Little Rock, Arkansas on May 18, 1937, Brooks Calbert Robinson attended Little Rock Central High School, where he didn't even play baseball. In fact, Robinson was playing second base in a church league when he was discovered. After signing with the Baltimore Orioles as an 18-year-old amateur free agent in 1955, Robinson moved directly to the big leagues. He spent his first few seasons sitting on the Orioles bench, watching future Hall of Fame third baseman George Kell wind down his career with the team. Robinson received his first serious playing time in 1958, after Kell retired at the conclusion of the previous campaign. The 21-year-old third baseman played well in the field, but he failed to impress at the plate, batting only .238, hitting just three home runs, and driving in only 32 runs in just over 500 plate appearances. Injuries limited Robinson to only 88 games the following season, but he began to show promise as a hitter, raising his batting average to .284.
Robinson developed into one of the American League's most prominent players in 1960, earning the first of 15 consecutive trips to the All-Star Game and winning the first of 16 straight Gold Gloves. In addition to leading all league third basemen in putouts, assists, and fielding percentage for the first time, he batted .294 and knocked in 88 runs, to earn a third-place finish the MVP balloting.
MVP Award
The following year, Robinson began a string of four consecutive seasons during which he appeared in every game for the Orioles. Throughout that period, he led a young and improving team that relied primarily on pitching and defense. While Robinson served as the poster boy for Baltimore's strong defensive play, he also put together some very solid offensive seasons, performing particularly well in 1962 and 1964. In the first of those years, he hit 23 home runs, drove in 86 runs, batted .303, and finished among the league leaders with 192 hits and 308 total bases. Two years later, Robinson led the Orioles to a close second-place finish, en route to edging out Mickey Mantle of the pennant-winning Yankees for league MVP honors. In addition to placing near the top of the league rankings with 28 home runs, 35 doubles, 194 hits, 319 total bases, and a .317 batting average, Robinson scored 82 runs and topped the circuit with 118 runs batted in.
1965 -
Robinson finished in the top five in the league MVP voting in each of the next two seasons as well, continuing his stellar play in the field, while also compiling some of the best offensive numbers of his career. He batted .297 in 1965, hit 18 homers, and drove in 80 runs, to earn a third-place finish in the MVP balloting. Robinson finished runner-up in the voting to teammate Frank Robinson the following year, helping the Orioles to the American League pennant and world championship by hitting 23 home runs, knocking in 100 runs, and scoring 91 others.
As a hitter, Robinson possessed decent power and performed extremely well in the clutch. He surpassed 20 homers six times and drove in more than 100 runs twice, also topping the 90-RBI mark another two times. An excellent post-season performer, Robinson hit five home runs, knocked in 22 runs, and batted .303 in 145 official playoff and World Series at-bats.
However, Robinson's greatest claim to fame was his extraordinary defense. Although he was slow afoot and possessed a rather mediocre throwing arm, Robinson's quickness and superb reflexes enabled him to turn in spectacular plays in the field with amazing regularity. Whether reaching towards the foul line to snare a ball that seemed headed towards the left field corner, or diving into the shortstop hole to rob an opposing batter of an apparent single, Robinson made plays that caused onlookers to shake their heads in amazement.
Frank Robinson said of his longtime teammate, "He was the best defensive player at any position. I used to stand in the outfield like a fan and watch him make play after play. I used to think WOW, I can't believe this."
Although Robinson's offensive numbers fell off somewhat between 1967 and 1969, his stellar play in the field continued. He led all A.L. third basemen in assists and fielding percentage all three years, continuing his string of leading the league in the first category six straight times, and topping the circuit in the second category four consecutive times.
1969 - 1971 - 3 Consecutive American League Pennants
The Orioles won the first of three consecutive American League pennants in 1969, but they were subsequently upset by the New York Mets in the World Series. Returning to the Fall Classic in 1970, Baltimore faced Cincinnati's imposing Big Red Machine, a star-studded lineup that included righthanded sluggers Tony Perez, Lee May, and N.L. MVP Johnny Bench. Robinson, who had a solid year at the plate during the regular season with 18 home runs, 94 runs batted in, and a .276 batting average, set an early tone for the Series by winning Game One with a seventh-inning solo homer. He hit another home run in Game Four, ending the Fall Classic with two homers, six runs batted in, and a .429 batting average, en route to being named Series MVP. Despite Robinson's offensive heroics, which helped the Orioles defeat Cincinnati in five games, it actually was his defense that left the Reds players talking to themselves. Robinson's Gold Glove thwarted Cincinnati rallies time after time, as he performed his own personal brand of magic before a national television audience.
After Robinson was named Series MVP and received the brand new Toyota that went along with the honor, Johnny Bench remarked, "Gee! If we had known he wanted a new car that bad, we'd have chipped in and bought him one."
Cincinnati manager Sparky Anderson quipped, "I'm beginning to see Brooks in my sleep. If I dropped a paper plate, he'd pick it up on one hop and throw me out at first."
Even umpire Ed Runge found it difficult to conceal his admiration for Robinson, commenting after the final game, "That kid plays third base like he came down from a higher league."
Robinson had one more good year at the plate following his extraordinary performance in the World Series, before his offensive skills began to erode. He helped the Orioles to their third straight pennant in 1971, earning a fourth-place finish in the league MVP voting by hitting 20 home runs, driving in 92 runs, and batting .272. However, he played six more years, never again finishing in double-digits in homers or knocking in more than 72 runs, and batting higher than .257 only once. After losing his starting third base job to Doug DeCinces in 1976, Robinson assumed a back-up role his final two seasons, before finally announcing his retirement at the end of the 1977 campaign.
Hall of Fame
It didn't take the members of the BBWAA long to elect Robinson to the Hall of Fame once his playing career was over. He was inducted into Cooperstown in his very first year of eligibility, in 1983. Yet, Robinson's first few years away from the game were difficult ones. Poor business investments left him heavily in debt, and it took a second career as an Orioles broadcaster to help him solve his financial problems. He has since become involved in numerous charitable organizations, including serving as president of the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association, an organization that assists players and fans to interact off the field, and that also helps former players who need financial assistance.
Robinson's involvement in such charities would not come as much of a surprise to anyone who knows him well. Admired and respected by everyone around the game for his generosity and graciousness, Robinson epitomized professionalism throughout his career.
Write Joe Falls of the Detroit News once wrote, "How many interviews, how many questions – how many times you approached him and got only courtesy and decency in return. A true gentleman who never took himself seriously. I always had the idea he didn't know he was Brooks Robinson."
John Steadman of The News American echoed those sentiments when he said, "There's not a man who knows him who wouldn't swear for his integrity and honesty and give testimony to his consideration of others. He's an extraordinary human being, which is important, and the world's greatest third baseman of all time, which is incidental."

Music to Your Ears
Fly by Night!
Wicked-bad live music abounds this week—the gang and I just didn't have the space to cover it all. That, and I didn't get an interview with Geddy Lee. That's OK, though—what the hell would I have asked him? "Um, soooo, Mr. Lee, are you from Middle Earth?"
Below is a summary of upcoming shows more exciting than winged beasts shredding on double-necked guitars.
On Friday, quasi-local Americana band Lowlights plays a semi-rare show at Low Spirits with Lost in the Sun and Big Eagle. (Actually, between this show, The Moondoggies on Sunday, and Smokin Joe Kubek and Bnois King on Monday, Low Spirits is all excellence this week—see the calendar at lowspiritslive.com.) Also on Friday, Concepto Tambor, another quasi-local band, performs at the Launchpad with fire dancers La Flamilia for the joint DVD release of Calaveras.
Saturday brings the Taos Solar Music Festival (more info in our music calendar) to downtown Taos, and a burned-out comedy performance by '70s counterculture caricatures Cheech & Chong to Sandia Casino Amphitheater. Performing at Burt's Tiki Lounge on the same night is San Diego psychedelic / easy listening band (eh?) The Donkeys along with Lousy Robot and Et Al.
On Tuesday the magical Canucks known as Rush fly into Hard Rock Pavilion (formerly Journal Pavilion). Also performing that night at the Launchpad is D.C. psych band Dead Meadow (see music calendar).
For more on this week's lighted stages, see the Alibi's music calendar and also those of our lovely advertisers.

Les cinq sens. Nos cinq sens sont les suivant: la vue, l'ouïe, le goût, l'odorat, le toucher. The five senses. Our five senses are the following: sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch.

A DAY IN A FRENCH LIFE... by Kristin Espinasse

To sharpen. I spoke about the French word aiguiser in a previous post, and was set to feature the verb today, when plans changed. It may seem like a strange word choice following the news about our dog's death--but then my senses seem sharper since Breizh passed away on Saturday.

With the past four days being cloaked in sadness, I began to wonder if grief isn't one of our 5 senses... but of course it isn't, as evidenced by the following list (quickly counted on my right hand, beginning with la pouce, or thumb).

la vue (sight)

l'ouïe (hearing)

le goût (taste)

l'odorat (touch)

le toucher (smell)

No, grief is not a sense, but a stirrer of the senses, as we see in these examples:

LA VUE - SIGHT
Soonafter our 9-year-old golden retriever passed, I saw something alarming, quelque chose I had never before noticed. Smokey, Breizh's 6-year-old son, was sporting a silver barbe, or beard.

I remember the day, not three months ago, that I saw Breizh's gray mustache (or was it white?)--after someone pointed it out to me. And I wonder, how many more things--evident, present, glaring--are we not seeing?

L'OUIE - HEARING
J'entends. I hear a whistle in Smokey's breathing, one that wasn't there before. It is le souffle of sadness and it sometimes terminates with un gros soupir.

Patting his soft, lopsided head, I murmur: Je sais, Smokey, je sais. Elle est partie, notre Breizh. Elle est partie. But it's okay. It is okay. All will be okay.

LE GOUT - TASTE
Food was tasteless, but my appetite returned on day two, arriving on a rumble of hunger pangs. But for Smokey, who lost his mama, it would be 5 days before he would show any interest in his croquettes--the sound of which used to make him do twirls in the air! This morning, no air-twirls, but he did wag his tail excitedly as I set down his bowl. His hunger had finally returned.

L'ODORAT - SMELL
Together, Jean-Marc and I buried Breizh before a field of sunflowers, in front of the laundry line where I go almost daily to dry our clothes.  A wooden wine box doubles as a headstone and a shelf where we can set mementos--like the mug with Breizh's picture, which doubles as a vase.

This morning, while collecting escargot shells from the surrounding field, to set beside the vase of bougainvillea, I remembered Smokey's unusual behavior, when days before he strolled up to the grave and lay down beside it.  He must sense she is here... I thought. Only to watch him walk off with half a cross!

Smokey! Bring that back! I called, hurrying up to him to retrieve the horizontal piece of the cross. Setting the broken tree limb back in place, over the grave, I stared at the cross I'd replaced.  Death, it seems, has a sense of humor, too.

LE TOUCHER
Smokey's hair has never felt softer, and touching him has its effet tranquillisant. I wish I'd saved a lock of Breizh's hair. Then again, what would I do with it? Wear it around my neck? No! Like those small plastic envelopes holding my children's first teeth, it would be forever hidden in a shoebox, somewhere discreet.

MY INTERGALACTIC DOG

(These paragraphs were originally posted under the "sight" section, above. But I found a better example and needed to move this one somewhere else. The concluding section seems fitting.)

On the phone with my aunt, we were talking about the planet Pluto which has been making headlines lately. "It really makes you wonder how it all began. Consider the endless galaxies!"

My aunt's words queued my mind which now pictured a vibrant midnight blue outer space with rolling waves of silver stars. Suddenly a smiling golden retriever jetted right past me! There was Breizh, riding an asteroid the size of a basketball! My head got whiplash watching her streak past me, a line of sparkly stardust in her wake. I watched as she disappeared into the future (or the past?). Oh the mystery of where exactly she is, the spirit of our sweet, golden girl.

I had to share the image of a beaming Breizh transported through space-- had to share the vision  with my aunt, who very sweetly and politely responded, as if she, too, could picture that intergalactic dog of mine rocketing across the starry sky.

And it dawns on me now, clearer-headed days later, the delicateness that framed my aunt's sympathetic response. I hope to remember to react as she did the next time someone is grieving - to remember to see the intergalactic dog that is not. Nod your head wildly, utter your conviction - let her know that you see just what she sees... and so let her grieve.

                                                  *    *    *

 Dear Reader, Thank you so much for your comforting words regarding Breizh. The empathy you shared, via the comments box and by email, helped to unblock further streams of emotion.

Here is the most recent photo of our golden girl. At the time I took the picture I did not know it would be the last, or I would have taken a thousand more. As it is, this image fills me with peace, representing, so sweetly, her ongoing journey.

Amicalement,
Kristi

                         Breizh. May 17th 2006- July 25, 2015

9 GOLDEN YEARS

Yesterday we said goodbye to our beloved golden retriever, Breizh (a.k.a. Braise, and Brez). We are so grateful, dear girl, for all of the happiness you gave us.  We can never thank you enough. Repose en paix.

I leave you, dear reader, with Jackie's words:

Tu étais toute ma vie, depuis mes 7 ans, ma première meilleure amie, ma fifille je t'aime, tu es parmi les meilleurs anges. 25/07/15

You were my whole life, since I was 7 years old, my first best friend, ma fifille I love you, you are among the best angels. 7/25/15.

                              Breizh (right) and Smokey

Breizh leaves behind her 6-year-old son, Smokey, her vineyard family, and a pack of loving readers who have cheered her over the years. Thank you for your love and support.

A meaningful gift our recent guests left us: drawing by WRAL. (We will stick with WRAL for now, until I check if it is ok to post the artist's full name.) First, today's expression:

AVOIR DE LA VEINE

    : to be lucky

Mas de Perdrix. A home in France that artists and writers love to rent.  Work on your creative project in this inspiring environment.

avoir de la veine. Maggie et Michael, et nous même, avons eu de la veine de se rencontrer.
to be lucky. Maggie and Michael, and we ourselves, were lucky to meet each other.

A DAY IN A FRENCH LIFE... by Kristin Espinasse

In our car, on our way home from a jazz concert at Domaine de l'Olivette, Jean-Marc and I were talking to two very special house guests. "If we could do it over again," I said, "I would have encouraged our kids to take up piano! I learned too late that when children practice a musical instrument they are forming their brains to be even more receptive to learning."

Maggie, who shared the back seat with me, smiled, admitting she would have enjoyed playing the harp. As soon as she said it I could picture her there, on our ancient olive farm, where she spent summers from the age of ten. The year was 1949....

I could see Maggie again, this time in her twenties--when this 19-century mas was first renovated-- strumming the harp on the balcony over looking the a field of olives. Beyond, the sea might have been glittering (a sea's way of clapping, you know).

Next, I pictured my mom, with that very same conjured-up harp, this time it is placed in the garden behind our home where apples, avocados and artichauts now grow....

I was daydreaming of the past and the future, of harps and artichoke hearts, when Maggie's next words woke me from the rêverie. "But you have already given Max and Jackie this gift," Maggie assured me. Your children speak a second language!"

It's true, speaking two languages has the same brain-strengthening benefit! Maggie's comment cheered me even more when I remembered that my own brain has been in training ever since learning French in high school. But lately my mind is forgetful.

Writing is another way to train the brain. So I think I'll get some exercise now, by jotting down some of the things we have done with Maggie and Michael since the return to their former stomping grounds on Monday.

*    *    *

The picture is still crystal clear in my mind. I stood in the gravel driveway as Jean-Marc drove up with our guests. I squinted my eyes, trying to see beyond the reflection on the windshield--to the familiar faces inside the car. I searched for expressions that would be a clue as to what our invités were thinking of the changes to the land since they sold us their beloved home three years ago  (notably the absence of so many trees, as Jean-Marc prepares the land for vine plantings!).

Standing beside the weeping mulberry, a freeing thought came over me: Let go... let go!  Take the focus off your anxious thoughts - in time to see the twinkle in your guests eyes!

And that is how the three-day visit with the former propriétaires of our home unfolded, moment by moment, leading up to the much anticipated moment of truth: when we would learn just how Maggie and Michael felt about the changes they now saw.

As I reach this point in my story, I am overwhelmed with the meaningful moments from this week; perhaps it is best to choose just a few (followed by the touching conclusion I hinted to you about):

Shared meals
From our family favorite (Jean-Marc's barbequed daurade) to our neighbor, Annie's, Soupe au Pistou (shared with Annie and her daughter, Margot) we enjoyed several meals on the front porch, enjoying stories of this historic farmhouse and the surrounding land.

Shopping in old St Cyr
Maggie and Michael did most of their errands and shopping in the old town of St Cyr, and it was a pleasure for them to return three years later, to buy a battery for Maggie's watch, to drink une noisette  (espresso with a splash of milk) at Cafe de France, and to stop in to the old quincaillerie, with me, to inquire about a knife-sharpening prestation (yay! the shop offers this service, and will aiguiser my dull set very soon, for 2 euros 50 per knife).

The Search For Breizh
Our 9-year-old golden, Breizh (mother of Smokey), had a seizure on Tuesday, causing her to be disoriented and to wander off. Maggie, Michael, Jean-Marc and I each set off in a different direction, combing the property in search of our dog. It was Michael who found her along the path less traveled, below the old stone cabanon. Breizh was panting heavily beneath a stickery bush, one with enough shade to protect her until help arrived (mille mercis, Michel!).

Michael went on to walk the property line with Jean-Marc, helping Chief Grape to know just how far he can plant the next field of grapes.

    The cabanon, a former pig pen.

Boat ride
Tuesday evening we piled into Jean-Marc's small boat and rode leisurely up the coast, anchoring just outside the port. Huddled together in the bow, our guests enjoyed rosé and cacahuates and a view of La Ciotat, Les Lecques, and the ile verte.

Swimming with Maggie
On Wednesday our dear matelots , or sailers, treated us to lunch at Port d'Alon. Over salmon and shrimp salad Maggie told us of her father's love of swimming, and how he used to do laps across the calanque, or creek here not far from his home (where we now live today).

After lunch, Maggie and I swam out to sea. As we looked back I saw the waves we made returning to shore like salty tender memories.

                       Where Maggie's father swam

Kitchen Tears
The day of our guests departure, I found Maggie and Jean-Marc in the kitchen--tears in the corners of their eyes. Maggie turned to me and said:

"Among the blessings I count in this life--my husband, my children, my grandchildren--I count selling our home to you a true blessing!"

(This Blog Post)
As we ate breakfast that morning together, Jean-Marc looked up, his eyes bright as he said to our guests, "Kristi would like to write an edition about your visit!"

"Oh, no!" I explained, downplaying the idea I had since given up on. "Not really an edition! I just thought I would mention we saw you and..."

The truth was, I so wanted to put to words the time we had shared with Maggie and Michae. "But," I explained, "while it is easy for me to write about Jean-Marc and the kids... the moment I write about friends the words risk coming out clumsily. And I wouldn't want to intrude on your privacy. And..."

Awkwardly addressing the subject of What Can And Will Sometimes Go Wrong When Writing About Others, I heard Michael address me.

"Kristi, We think you are very sweet and we are not worried about your writing." Michael's words, like the opening scene by the mulberry tree, were so freeing. I called my Mom soonafter.

"Honey," she said, "every since you moved to that house, you have truly written from your heart."

Remerciements
... to Maggie and Michael and to those who read these stories: Thank you for your support and words of encouragement. Each story written is a step farther along the writing path. And what a joy to write along a path flanked by olives and vines, and with the hint of the harp's melody coming from the terraces above....

Books
Maggie and Michael recommended many books and movies that take place in France, or very near. Here is a favorite of mine and theirs, and another I have just ordered, recommended by Michael.

Jean Giono's, The Man Who Planted Trees, is a very short read and a must-reed treasure of a book.

And a book I just bought, after Michael's recommendation: How to Live: Or a Life of Montaigne in One Question and Twenty Attempts at an Answer

SABLET HOME for high quality vacation rentals in the heart of Provence. Particularly suited to groups of up to four discerning travelers.

Team reviews
Tammie was great to work with. She provided expert/experienced guidance on the right improvements needed to prepare a rental property for sale, provided information on recent sales in the area so that we could price the unit to attract the right buyers who made quality offers and guided us through the actual sale (negotiations, paper work, inspections, repairs). She kept us updated on progress, explained what to expect next and was always available - either immediately or within a very short time. There was never a doubt she was working for us and looking out for our best interests. We are looking forward to being able to list another rehabilitated rental property with her soon!
Tammie has done an impressive and wonderful job in helping us find a home to purchase. If possible we would recommend her even more than 5 stars. She is extremely professional and responds to our phone calls and emails very quickly. Her experience and knowledge in this field really comes in handy, and she was always on top of things making sure everything was completed in a timely fashion. You will definitely be in great hands when she is your agent because she will do her absolute best in helping you buy or sell a home. We honestly wish we would have found her earlier, but at least now we know who to turn to regarding any future real estate decisions.
My wife and I were looking for a house to buy for a year until we met Tammie. Because of her we found our dream house. She is awesome, very knowledgeable about the real state market. From the beginning to the end she's very professional. She kept in touch with us all the time. I highly and greatly recommend her services to all my friends/people looking for any real state service/s.
Tammie was extremely helpful and proactive in the purchase of our property. Her working Monday at 7 at night and Sunday at 10 in the morning is the reason why out of seven other people going after this property, we won the bid. She stayed on top of business, I would highly recommend her services for anyone that is trying to buy a home. It was a great experience.
Tammie Holley did a wonderful job in helping us sell our house in Costa Mesa. She was most helpful wirh all aspects from setting the listing price to all the closing details. Her expertise and experience was instrumental in making the entire process go smoothly. I highly recommend her services to others as we will continue to count on her as our agent.
Tammie listed and sold my condo in July She is very knowledgable of the Fullerton area and I will use her when I purchase my next property Had an offer in only a few days and everything went smoothly
Tammie was very patient with us thru the whole process. We have a tough schedule and she went out of her way to make sure she was available. She was always very professional and gave us great input. Tammie helped us find our perfect home.
Tammie has been doing this for years and it shows! She made the process of buying and selling effortless. She was able to sell my condo quickly and for the amount I was looking for and was patient and attentive while searching for our new home. This realtor really knows her stuff!
Though my family no longer owns the rental property Tammie worked to keep rented, we always felt comfortable in the decision to have Gibson Realty as our property management company. Tammie kept the home rented with reliable people and maintained the property without us having to worry about it.
If the time comes for us to be landlords again Tammie gets the first call to amange the property.

Buzz Meter
One of the most revered bands in indie rock returns with new album Shields. Jay-Z, Beyonce and Blue Ivy among those on the pre-order customer list.
TNGHT (pictured)
This Montreal/Glasgow duo answer the call for anyone wanting Waka Flocka Flame-type bangers minus the shitty raps.
Bat For Lashes
Q: Is there any better way to create buzz than to pose naked on an album cover? A: Nope.
Following in the footsteps of Skrillex, Karl Wolf and Pitbull, the UK's biggest rock band the latest dubstep bandwagoneers. And you thought their Olympic song was bad.
Once known as King, Tip's had so many stints in jail and false starts with his new album, Trouble Man seems a very appropriate title and addition to his nickname stockpile.

Many would consider being knighted or otherwise honored by England's royals a dream come true. But more than 200 rebellious Brits have declined or returned the honor, refusing to hand their names and legacies over to rulers seeking to bolster their own dubious reputations. John Lennon and authors Roald Dahl and C.S. Lewis are on that list.
Today on the list: Cell phone companies conceal a health warning, Michelangelo's David the way it was meant to be seen, and Hollywood doesn't care about poor people—or old people.
Curl up with some eggnog and click on to find out why Americans can't make things (hint: business school), why Michelangelo wasn't such a loner, after all, and more.

Eaglequest GolfRead MoreNamed 1 of the Top 100 Golf Practice Centers And Learning Facilities In America by Golf Range Magazine in 2011, Eaglequest Coyote Creek Golf Course pairs its renowned practice facility with a par 65 course to foster improvement in players of all abilities. The 18-hole, 4,165-yard course facilitates fast rounds of golf with 7 par 3 and 11 par 4 holes, and 4 holes more than 300 yards in length, prompting players to use every club in their bags. Lines of trees stud the edges of nearly every fairway, a creek winds through the course's gently undulating terrain to alter shots, and a tennis player with a racquet plays defense on the final hole. Before golfers head to the first tee, they can loosen up their swings by launching high-calibre practice balls at Eaglequest's synthetic driving range. To further groom their games, clubbers can schedule lessons with one of the course's CPGA instructors, who remedy slice-prone swings, shaky short-game shots, and 9-irons stricken with the common cold.7778 152nd St.Surrey, BC CA
Yoga 360 and Bikram Yoga LangleyRead MoreInside a room heated to a balmy 105 degrees Fahrenheit, a certified Bikram yoga instructor leads students through eagle, locust, and rabbit poses. These poses, part of a 26-asana sequence designed by yogi Bikram Choudhury, are intended to increase oxygen and blood flow through every inch of the body. Though the physical benefits of a stronger, more flexible body are undeniable, the good done to the mental and spiritual selves can only be described—a greater sense of peace, increased mental clarity, and the ability to tolerate people who talk about their night dreams. Eager to share its passion for the practice, the staff at Bikram Yoga equips new students with everything they need to succeed. Friendly receptionists hand students towels and mats before pointing them in the direction of clean, sleek changing and shower areas. The studio itself is constantly filled with purifying practitioners, as a deep bench of certified instructors teach both morning and evening classes seven days a week.108-15375 56th Ave.Surrey, BC CA
Steve Nash Fitness WorldRead MoreSince its inception, Steve Nash Fitness World & Sports Club has developed a fitness vision—one where a place could promote a healthy and balanced lifestyle for all. Within its 19 locations across the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, the gym strives to fulfill that vision by maximizing each member's experience in a fun and friendly environment, while offering a well-rounded approach to health and fitness. Featuring a variety of amenities for all those wanting to achieve their fitness goals, each facility boasts state-of-the-art training equipment for clients' cardio and weight-lifting needs. For those who work better in packs, a wide range of fun group fitness classes are offered, including Zumba, yoga, pound, and LaBlast. Experienced certified personal trainers impart their wealth of fitness knowledge and effective exercise programs, but also inform on the latest in health and fitness, in-club events, and several other exciting member services.13821-103rd AvenueSurrey, BC CA
Healing MovementsRead MoreAlthough Sumita has many world travels and experiences working with renowned teachers under her belt, she still considers herself a student of the form. She guides others with the deep belief that she is a mere conduit for ancient yoga philosophies—nothing more. With a humble attitude, she transmits these peace-inducing practices at Healing Movements—a place where people "reconnect to their bodies" through meditation, dance, and Vinyasa flow. During these programs, Sumita takes a holistic approach to yoga by infusing her pose-centric fitness classes with chanting, visualizations, and breath work. Additionally, she puts her knowledge of homeopathic medicine to use during detoxification sessions and sacred hawan ceremonies, which can purify a home without the hassle of renting an acre-sized Brita filter.10110 127B streetSurrey, BC CA
Oxygen Hot Yoga & Fitness StudioRead MoreAt each of Oxygen Yoga & Fitness' locations, trained fitness instructors guide students through a seven-day schedule packed with yoga, boot camp, meditation, and TRX suspension training classes. The modern studios come equipped with infrared heated yoga rooms where students strengthen muscles during yoga poses as the specialized light aims to improve their skin tone and erase their cellulite. During TRX suspension training sessions, exercisers are suspended in the air by belts attached to the ceiling and use their own body weight to fight gravity. The classes are designed for all fitness levels and aim to build long, lean muscles and give guests a place to practice their levitation skills. The studio also schedules kids' yoga sessions designed to increase children's confidence and provide full-body workouts.15989 108th Ave, Unit 501Surrey, BC CA
Westcoast Hot YogaRead MoreHeated air wafts through Westcoast Hot Yoga's classrooms, seeping into tendons to facilitate stretches as deep and relaxing as Poseidon's favourite chaise lounge. Within this toasty cocoon, which warms to 30–40 degrees, instructors impart poses designed to loosen and strengthen muscles and ligaments. With a variety of styles, they aim to help students of all levels bolster posture, concentration, and balance. The White Rock and Yaletown locations rent out mats and sell replenishing beverages. When instructors aren't leading classes at the studios, they tote their yoga knowledge to local businesses to help office workers battle stress and fatigue.#202-1688 152 StreetSurrey, BC CA

Redefining the Economics of Enterprise Storage (2015 Update)
Enterprise storage has long delivered superb levels of performance, availability, scalability, and data management. But enterprise storage has always come at exceptional price, and this has made enterprise storage unobtainable for many use cases and customers. Most recently Dell introduced a new, small footprint storage array – the Dell Storage SC Series powered by Compellent technology – that continues to leverage proven Dell Compellent technology using Intel technology in an all-new form factor. The SC4020 also introduces the most dense Compellent product ever, an all-in-one storage array that includes 24 drive bays and dual controllers in only 2 rack units of space. While the Intel powered SC4020 has more modest scalability than current Compellent products, this array marks a radical shift in the pricing of Dell's enterprise technology, and is aiming to open up Dell Compellent storage technology for an entire market of smaller customers as well as large customer use cases where enterprise storage was too expensive before.
The Promise of VM-Centric Storage and VVols: Tintri VMstore Delivers the Future Promise Now
The din surrounding VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes (VVols) is deafening. It started in 2011 when VMware announced the concept of VVols and the storage industry reacted with enthusiasm and culminated with its introduction as part of vSphere 6 release in April 2015. Viewed simply, VVols is an API that enables storage arrays that support the functionality to provision and manage storage at the granularity of a VM, rather than LUNs or Volumes or mount points, as they do today. Without question, VVols is an incredibly powerful concept and will fundamentally change the interaction between storage and VMs in a way not seen since the concept of server virtualization first came to market. No surprise then that each and every storage vendor in the market is feverishly trying to build in VVols support and competing on the superiority of their implementation.
Yet one storage player, Tintri, has been delivering products with VM-centric features for four years without the benefit of VVols. How can this be so? How could Tintri do this? And what does it mean for them now that VVols are here? To do justice to this question we will briefly look at what VVols are and how they work and then dive into how Tintri has delivered the benefits of VVols for several years. We will also look at what the buyer of Tintri gets today and how Tintri plans to integrate VVols. Read on…
Journey Towards Software Defined Data Center (SDDC)
While it has always been the case that IT must respond to increasing business demands, competitive requirements are forcing IT to do so with less. Less investment in new infrastructure and less staff to manage the increasing complexity of many enterprise solutions. And as the pace of business accelerates those demands include the ability to change services… quickly. Unfortunately, older technologies can require months, not minutes to implement non-trivial changes. Given these polarizing forces, the motivation for the Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) where services can be instantiated as needed, changed as workloads require, and retired when the need is gone, is easy to understand.
The vision of the SDDC promises the benefits needed to succeed: flexibility, efficiency, responsiveness, reliability and simplicity of operation… and does so, seemingly paradoxically, with substantial cost savings. The initial steps to the SDDC clearly come from server virtualization which provides many of the desired benefits. The fact that it is already deployed broadly and hosts between half and two-thirds of all server instances simply means that existing data centers have a strong base to build on. Of the three major pillars within the data center, the compute pillar is commonly understood to be furthest along through the benefits of server virtualization.
The key to gaining the lion's share of the remaining benefits lies in addressing the storage pillar. This is required not only to reap the same advantages through storage virtualization that have become expected in the server world, but also to allow for greater adoption of server virtualization itself. The applications that so far have resisted migration to the hypervisor world have mostly done so because of storage issues. The next major step on the journey to the SDDC has to be to virtualize the entire storage tier and to move the data from isolated, hardware-bound silos where it currently resides into a flexible, modern, software-defined environment.
While the destination is relatively clear, how to move is key as a business cannot exist without its data. There can be no downtime or data loss. Furthermore, just as one doesn't virtualize every server at once (unless one has the luxury of a green-field deployment and no existing infrastructure and workloads to worry about) one must be cognizant of the need for prioritized migration from the old into the new. And finally, the cost required to move into the virtualized storage world is a major, if not the primary, consideration. Despite the business benefits to be derived, if one cannot leverage one's existing infrastructure investments, it would be hard to justify a move to virtualized storage. Just to be sure, we believe virtualized storage is a prerequisite for Software Defined Storage, or SDS.
In this Technology Brief we will first look at the promise of the SDDC, then focus on SDS and the path to get there. We then look at IBM SAN Volume Controller (SVC), the granddaddy of storage virtualization. SVC initially came to market as a heterogeneous virtualization solution then was extended to homogeneous storage virtualization, as in the case of IBM Storwize family. It is now destined to play a much more holistic role for IBM as an important piece of the overall Spectrum Storage program.
Market Landscape Abstract: Survey of VVol Implementation by Various Storage Vendors
VMware Virtual Volumes (VVols) is one of the most important technologies that impacts how storage interacts with virtual machines. In April and May 2015, Taneja Group surveyed eleven storage vendors to understand how each was implementing VVols in their storage arrays. This survey consisted of 32 questions that explored what storage array features were exported to vSphere 6, how VMs were provisioned and managed. We were surprised at the level of differences and the variety of methods used to enable VVols. It was also clear from the analysis that underlying limitations of an array will limit what is achievable with VVols. However, it is also important to understand that there are many other aspects of a storage array that matter—the VVol implementation is but one major factor. And VVol implementation is a work in progress and this represents only the first pass.
We categorized these implementations in three levels: Type 1, 2 and 3, with Type 3 delivering the most sophisticated VVol benefits. The definitions of these three types is shown below, as is the summary of findings.
Most storage array vendors participated in our survey but a few chose not to, often due to the fact that they already delivered the most important benefits that VVols deliver, i.e. the ability to provision and manage storage at a VM-level, rather than at a LUN, volume or mount point level. In particular that list included the hyperconverged players, such as Nutanix and SimpliVity but also players like Tintri.
