St Gabriels pupils Maisy Buller, Haadi-Ali Shah, Leah Forrest-Yates, Kian Rawcliffe, Madison Ashton and Brook Whittle helped launched the Lancashire School Games with deputy head teacher Matthew Cross, School Games Organiser Andrew Mercer and School Games
Steve Tinniswood, Sports reporter / / Sport
THE latest SPAR Lancashire School Games has been launched in Blackburn.
The Games, the largest sporting event for young children in the county, was officially launched at St Gabriel's Primary School in Blackburn.
The games have been split into three events this year; the standalone Disability Swimming Gala event, the new College Games and the Summer Games Festival which includes sports such as; netball, tag rugby, gymnastics, football, tennis, athletics, triathlon, boccia and orienteering.
In attendance at the Blackburn launch event, were pupils from the primary school, a representative from the Lancashire Sports Partnership and the school games' mascot, the Lancashire Lion.
Andrew Mercer, School Games Organiser for Blackburn, who helped to arrange the event, said: "It's is great that the Lancashire School games have been launched in Blackburn with Darwen and in particular at st Gabriel's primary School. "The school has put a lot of time and effort into PE and School Sport and their successes are well deserved. "I would like to thank them for hosting today and wish them the best of luck when they attend the Lancashire School Games."
Over 3,000 youngsters are expected to take part in the school games events this year.
The SPAR Lancashire School Games County Final will take place at Stanley Park in Blackpool on July 1.

I'm running a command to dump my database contents into json format:
python manage.py dumpdata <appname>.<modelname> > file.json
However, it is not dumping my many-to-many field which is called
category_id. Well in fact, it is dumping it but the field is consistently empty. Why??
I have tried calling that table directly (which is a category mapping) as such:
python manage.py dumpdata <appname>.<modelname_category_id> > file.json
and I get the following error:
Error: Unable to serialize database: Category matching query does not exist.
I'm using Django 1.2.1 and SQLite backend.
Any hints?
UPDATE: I have tried deleting all rows in the modelname.category_id table, and even with only one row I still get this error.
The table is defined as follows id: integer PRIMARY KEY unipart_id: integer category_id: integer
and both unipart_id and category_id fields are valid and exist.

Gear Coasters for CNC

Thing Info
I wanted to mill the coasters from thing:7796 on my CNC but the design assumes a laser and isn't appropriate for the thicker kerf of a CNC cut. I split out the pieces so they can be milled more easily. The included DXF file is for one coaster, make four or more for a set.
You may need to edit the size of the little tabs. The length should be equal to 4x the thickness of your material if you are making a set of four. The width should be equal to the thickness of the material. Edit the small square cutouts to be that same width/height as well.

Portrait Photographer | Creative Director
San Francisco, CA
I am a proud Wildcat of St. Ignatius College Preparatory ('05) and Don of University of San Francisco, BSN ('10).
When not photographing, you can find me: reading from my endless blog feed, magazine subscriptions, or non-fiction titles on my Kindle, drinking coffee from my Aeropress, or studying my favorite artist Frida Kahlo.
A late Sunday evening walk at Pacifica's Rockaway Beach with my friend Apol. Am giving nature and photography walks a shot as it gives me more time too to shoot with my Pentax 645Z.
I got around to shooting with my new Pentax 645z medium format camera + a 55mm 2.8 lens as the perfect opportunity came in to test its 51.4mp resolution power–Muir Woods. My cousins from NYC are here and they wanted to hike so what better way then to spend the morning with these beautiful redwood trees.
This isn't a comprehensive review as it's literally my first time really using it. If I were serious about landscape photography, I'd:
1) Use a tripod to
2) Shoot at lower ISO to
3) Shoot with higher depth of field for maximum sharpness
So all these shots were done by hand and while I will want to write a more thorough review, despite its weight and heft, I can say that for a 5′5 person that this camera is super comfortable to hold [even after getting used to shooting with Sony's mirrorless a7s]. And yes, they have been edited via VSCO in Lightroom so I'm including a screenshot of the first image untouched because its RAW files are beautiful to work with due to its high dynamic range–esepcially when recovering shadows. However, the remaining of these images were just JPEGS since I choose not save the RAW version when I captured it [one of the great features of the 645z: you take a photo in JPEG as default but upon reviewing, you can choose to save the RAW DNG version as it is stored on the camera's buffer memory temporarily].
First up, a shot of many young redwood trees at 1/400, f/2,8 @ ISO 1000.
And the 100% crop in the center:
RAW capture:
Next up: some ferns at 1/320, f/2.8 @ ISO 1000.
100% crop:
[Didn't shoot the above in RAW so it's pretty much SOOC]
Roby at 1/160, f/2.8 @ ISO 1000:
100% Crop:
Redwood's roots: 1/160, f/f2.8 @ ISO 1000
100% Crop:

And of course had the wife to take a portrait of me :) 1/400, f/2.8 @ ISO 1000
100% Crop:
Bonus, Golden Gate Bridge from Marin Headlands: 1/160, f/8 @ ISO 100
100% Crop:
100% Crop:
Overall, I'm super stoked about this camera. And while yes, it's just a piece of hardware, I can truly say that it got me excited again to be back creating images. While the Sony a7s is a great low light performer, Pentax's 645Z blows me away by not only its image quality, but by how it makes me feel while taking photos. It sounds wishy washy indeed but trust me on this, holding it and using it is beautiful.
Looking forward to bringing back this photo blog from the dead :)
Work in Progress for Photo Project: PULP
I started juicing for healthier drink options at home and always thought pulp from the vegetables and fruits are beautiful. This is a short photographic study of the fruits and vegetables that I'll be using for juicing.
Setup involves my Sony a99 + 30mm macro lens with one light: my speedlight with 45" white shoot-thru umbrella. Shutter speed is 1/125 so it's barely taking into account of the great amount of window light.
For a peek of the shot, take a look at the work in progress on my Behance profile:
Am looking forward to doing a mini series of the all the fruits and vegetables that I'll be using. Looking forward to showing the progress!
Happy Holidays y'all.
A high school friend of mine emailed me [and among many others] to seek advice on how to build a website for her new business. Despite it being 2am in the morning, I figured I'd write a well thought out reply to help her get going with her business website.
First off, you need a catchy name for your business. The other thing people forget is brand continuity as you want to ensure that the clever name you thought of is actually available across popular social media channels. Use Namecheckr to ensure that your name is available not just as a domain i.e. www.__.com but also on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc.
Now that you got your name, time to buy your domain and start building your brand on the web.
Read on!
Linking it to a website
Qwilr. Need to send a proposal? Make the first impression count by making a beautiful proposal that you can embed photos and videos. It's a WYSWYG editor like Wix, Weebly and Squarespace but is focused on sending out proposals. You can save frequently used blocks such as "Terms and Agreements" "About Team" etc to make producing proposals much quicker. And once it's reviewed and accepted, you can invoice them with
Freshbooks for accounting, estimates, and invoicing. You can sync up with your credit/bank account for proper tracking of your expenses. Your accountant will thank you [and you'll thank yourself later]. A must for me.
Hootsuite allows you to be your own social media director. Tip: add a custom keyword search as a feed so you can always see what people are tweeting about that keyword and reply and build genuine engagement. Here's our 8:45a feed: http://cl.ly/image/432C3l0t0N3v
My friend's hard drive just crashed on her and I really wouldn't want that to happen to anyone. It's either a hassle, a headache to get everything back, a breakdown when you don't get everything back or all of the above.
Today, I'm taking the time to share with you how I back up my data so if it were to happen to me (ALL hard drives fail), I'll simply blurt out first "Shit!!" and then calmly proceed in recovering all my stuff.
First, you absolutely need a backup cloud service. Dropbox, Box and Google Drive are probably the most popular but let me wear my salesman shoes and tell you why Cubby is more awesome.
Keep reading.
The feature that I love the most is having the ability to make any folder on your hard drive sync up to the cloud. Box and Dropbox makes you put your folders you want to be synced in ONE folder and the be able to selectively sync which folder you want from there. Why does this matter? Simply, you can keep your current file structure on your computer and just choose which folders you want to sync. No need to separate your stuff into "sync only" folders.
Now what do I back up on Cubby? ALL my working files/documents. Meaning, I can access client invoices, agreements, storyboards, etc from past to present anywhere I need to.
I also have programs that you can save custom settings/preferences as text file and that too gets saved on Cubby (you're a Mac user and you're not using BetterTouchTool and Alfred? Shame. And note to self: I should write an article on how I use these two awesome tools.)
While I still have an external hard drive for my music and movies, times have changed as I now stream it online. For pictures however, I have multiple hard drives that are backups of backups.
(If you're really curious, keep reading if not, skip to the next paragraph).
I have a 12TB RAID drive that houses the current year's work of clients. I then have a 4TB drive that is a copy of that. Finally, I have another 4TB drive that is the archive drive once the year is up. All final images are also stored on my Zenfolio account.
But back to Cubby, it has many common features just like other Cloud services. You can share individual files from your desktop (Right-click files and generate a unique URL) as well as lock folders for privacy (protecting confidential information that shouldn't be accessed by everyone within a shared folder). What other Cloud services don't have however is DirectSync.
In a nutshell, DirectSync allows me to sync files (regardless of size) from one computer to another computer without affecting my total Cloud storage. Meaning, I can store a large PSD file of an image I'm working on one computer and when I use my desktop, that file is already there synced to the latest version.
And if my computer did get stolen, Cubby can remotely wipe all synced folders and files. (Nothing to boast here as other services can do this too).
In terms of pricing, 100GB is the standard number once you start paying. Let's put it out there: no one will beat Google Drive's awesome $1.99/month for 100GB of space. Here's quick look of what you'll be paying:
So Cubby if anything, is quite competitive at $3.99/month versus Dropbox's and Google Drive. Most of these prices by the way are when you pay annually with a slightly higher fee if paid month-to-month.
Last but not least is a tool that every Mac user has but I'm gonna guess 1 out of 3 people use on a regular basis: Time Machine. Drop $110 already to get a 2TB drive and keep it at your desk. Whenever you sit down again to work, plug the drive and let it sync everything. It's so simple yet it doesn't get used often enough. When you finally delete something by accident, you'll be thankful you'll have it via Time Machine.
Now how do you be diligent about it? If you can build the habit by will, awesome. If you're like me and needs someone or something to remind you, set up an alert.
The simplest? Google Calendar. Set up a recurring alert to both email and text you when it's time to do a backup. The frequency just depends how often you're creating, moving, and deleting files. I have a monthly backup for my company 8:45a at the end of each month.
While this post isn't an in depth tutorial, it's more of a reminder to back up your most important data on the Cloud and have a no-brainer physical backup on Time Machine on a consistent basis.
To sum it up:
1. Get a cloud service to continuously back up your important files I.e. Cubby, Dropbox, Box, etc. Be sure to save all of your program preferences here too like Alfred, BetterTouchTool, and 1Password (are you still saving your passwords in one document on your computer "hidden" from others? Another shame on you.)
2. Find a service/solution specifically for your photos (if you're a photographer). Mine is working on images on a RAID drive, redundant external backups, and uploading final images to Zenfolio for both personal and client access.
3. Use Time Machine on a consistent basis to ensure all your files are backed up.
Happy [frequent] backing up y'all.
I Waited An Hour for These Photos to "Develop". Here's Why.
I installed [another] photo app on my iPhone. I know I know, they're a dime a dozen these days but this one is different. It actually slows you down instead of instantly sharing your moments. Why?
To focus on actually being in the moment.
The app is called 1 Hour Photo and it's free from software developer Nevercenter.
The premise is simple: you take photos through the app and will wait exactly an hour later to see your "developed" monochrome images. Think of it exactly like 1 hour film processing: take your photos without ever seeing it before it's developed from your local lab.
As a monochrome shooter especially on Instagram, this is just perfect for me.
Last night was my good friend's birthday and we ate at a new restaurant [at least for me] called Limón Rotisserie in SF's Mission district and it definitely was a charmer. And instead of being heads down editing the images and sharing the photos instantly, it allowed me to just take photos as needed and let me enjoy the company with great food that's right in front of me.
This morning, I saw that 1 Hour Photo's app notified me that my photos were done and was able to review them and inevitably, share them.
I'm learning it's actually fun to have to wait and see your moments that you lived moments earlier.
It's the anti-instant gratification/sharing photo app.
My Best Buy of a LowePro Bag for $1.11
Received a $5 coupon at Best Buy and the journey began this morning in finding the best value for it. After minutes of roaming the camera aisle, I focused on bags since I'm leaving for my Mexico honeymoon in a few days.
Low and behold was a LowePro (Adventura Ultra Zoom 100) camera bag on clearance for a flat $6. As a comparison, I shot the bag next to my large Mocha Tesora iced coffee. I'll be fitting my Sony RX100 III plus a GoPro 3+ for quick access to my cameras on the go. There's plenty of space for spare memory cards and batteries too.
My only grip is that this thing doesn't have a belt loop! Most LowePro compact bags do and am surprised that this doesn't have one. It does include a shoulder strap but I find the bag too small to justify it being slung over my shoulder (will be bringing a daypack for the trip). This would certainly be perfect to strap it onto my existing bag.
This is still certainty my Best Buy at only $1.11. I can't complain too much right?
Why the Fujifilm Instax Mini 90 is My Favorite Camera to Date
I get it: Digital is cheap, convenient, and instant. You can surely have more trials and errors and it won't cost you anything as you can simply press delete. I also get it that for the best quality, you're not just looking at megapixels but high ISO with low noise and of course you need the best glass to put on that weather-sealed camera body.
But when you simply just want to shoot, nothing beats an automatic film camera. And oh, an automatic instant camera. No focusing, no need to base your exposure off your meter that's either set to wide utilizing all of its 128 focus points, no need to determine the shutter speed if you want to introduce blur or not. Just press and cla-clink.
Hello Fujifilm Instax Mini 90. And hello instant prints.
I just sold my Sony RX100 camera to a stranger who replied to my tweet that it was up for sale. Why? I don't remember seeing any of the hundreds of photos I've taken with it in my hand to simply enjoy. And to be more specific, enjoy it in my hands to see and feel. Ok that didn't sound right–but you get the point.
Instead, just like many of us, it's in our hard drives or in the cloud like Facebook, Google+, Flickr. Like many of us, we simply take photos on our phones, edit them with Vsco [seriously, you're not using this? More on that later..], and then upload them to Instagram.
And coming back to Vsco now, the filters simply emulate film. So why not just try shooting film?
It's expensive. Yes, I know that. Doing the math, it's $0.75 per print. A memory card for $20 holds hundreds of 18 megapixel images–I also know that. But that isn't the point.
While this post is not a review of this great camera, I've realized it's a review of how we take photos.
We're constantly online. Just like how I'm writing this post on Tumblr and how you're reading it. Yet, we beg to experience places and different surroundings. We want to unplug and just be with our friends and family. Oh that's right, I need to check-in first, take a photo with my phone, wait, be sure to edit it first, upload it, and then wait to get our Likes.
I'm guilty of this. We all are.
While we are accustomed to taking pictures to show to others where we've been, who we're with, what we're eating, etc, we've forgotten to simply shoot for ourselves.
It's the simpler pleasure of having and holding a moment that is only dear to us. A photo that is private until shared with someone next to you and a story that explains what's happening in that very photo. The art form of storytelling is what I see is being lost if not forgotten today. And no, writing a long blurb as a description with hashtags doesn't count.
To me, $0.75 is worth it for that one photo of a time that I want to remember. Because I'll be honest with myself: I don't randomly just turn on my computer, connect my 12TB hard drive, go to my archives and start reminiscing.
When I have kids, I want to grab the album, sit on the couch and tell them that I went karaoking in Japantown in San Francisco with my close friends to celebrate my company 8:45a's first year anniversary. And yes, there was plenty of soju and beer to go around.
From the Archives: My Renaissance Showcase Album
Out from the storage unit is my first ever sample showcase album. Hear me out on my wedding/event work circa 2004 with this sample album being my pride and joy when it came to showing it in client meetings.
From the Archives is a new series that I'll be using to showcase my previous work and how things have improved for the better :)
The Rundown:
What is it?: A keychain-sized Lightning to USB charger for your iOS devices (iPhone 5/5c/5s, iPad/Mini with Lightning). No need to pack a long 3' feet cord with you + USB power adapter.
Why?: Never be without a charge cord for your device as USB outlets are almost everywhere now. And you don't have to add bulk to your phone with those battery cases.
How much? $25 from Nomad's website directly OR you can even propose a barter.
Read further for my review!
My thoughts:
Received the unit and was surprised of how thin the packaging was. Then I figured this allows them to pack more units especially when the actual ChargeKey is tiny and slim as it is. No need to encase it useless plastic so for me, this is a win on their design end.
Size wise, it's what you expect it to be if it were to live in your keyring: small and compact. It's quite the size of a regular key which is perfect for blending in. The ChargeKey does have some flex so it's not just a stiff piece of plastic that can snap into two.
Plugged into my iPhone 5S and into my Macbook Pro, it looks great. No extra wires and it's close enough to see the screen if someone calls or if a message is scene. Even with it attached to my keys, it's not such a sore site to see my keys and phone together. Added bonus? I imagine now you really can't forget your keys or phone before heading out. It's a stretch, I know but I'm just saying.
My only gripe is that I do hope the terminals on both the Lightning connection and USB can withstand the potential scratches and bumps it'll get due to sitting on one's keyring. I recently had a LaCie RuggedKey Drive sans rubber cap crap out on me and it was most likely due to that. While it potentially may be one thing to lose as it was with my LaCie RuggedKey Drive (angry fist to them as I called their customer service to order a cap on its own and was told they don't do that and that the drive would last without it!), caps on the end would've been good to ensure its longevity. I also imagine they could develop a cap that is still attached to the ChargeKey and just slips right off when it's ready to be plugged in.
Overall though, I love this unit as I'm one of those who 1) brings a Lightning charge cable and USB adapter with me because 2) I don't want to use one of those battery pack cases for iPhone due to the added bulk.
If you're one of those who has EDC aka everyday carry items, this naturally fits in as it'll now live on my keyring.
Left to right:
Where to purchase [pre-order as of time of writing] Nomad's ChargeKey:
$25, Lightning or Micro-USB connection
Disclaimer: I was given a Nomad ChargeKey to write a review after being in contact with one of their representatives with no other direction but to write my honest opinion.
While I haven't blogged much in the last couple of months, things are surely going to change (you guessed it: I will commit to blogging more in 2014 as a resolution). I'd like to recap some major highlights of the year that fall into 2 categories:
Motionscope Weddings
So, what does this mean for JCasas Photography?
I've decided that my body of work really does fall into the former categories of weddings and commercial [portrait, advertising, and product] work. The website [above] will serve as my portfolio of my imagery.
When I do get to produce a portrait that has nothing to do with a business or tied to a wedding, then that will fall under "JCasas Photography". I will be able to focus JCasas Photography on work that I've fell in love with which is producing portraits for the love of it with no pressure from a client. When I look back on my portfolio printed in 2011, this is the work that I strive to produce again in the near future: portraits of musicians and conceptual portraits.
Personal projects too fall under JCasas Photography which is why I'm definitely proud of the successfully funded project Follow Milo that I produced with two great friends this year: wardrobe stylist Jane Park and illustrator/designer Agnes Lee.
We finished the 2014 calendars and will be working on the zine and postcards in the New Year for our backers!
So moving into 2014, I will be putting about 70% of my photographic efforts into 8:45a, 20% in weddings with Motionscope (with an emphasis on building our MotionscopeBOOTH business more), and 10% on JCasas Photography with an emphasis on blogging and being more engaged with the community with better articles, reviews, and advice.
Looking forward to building 2014 to be a great year by:
To everyone who has made 2013 a great year, thank you. And to everything else that has posed challenges, thank you as well for it helped build character and raise the bar.
Cheers to the New Year.
Bring it 2014.
Follow Milo website is live!
The new creative project I mentioned a couple blog posts ago is now live! This project is led by me, stylist and casting director Jane Park, and designer and illustrator Agnes Lee.
We're basically taking one of my favorite books The Phantom Tollbooth and producing a fashion shoot based on pivotal scenes from the book and its characters.
Please do take 45 seconds to sign up to our newsletter, "like" our Facebook page, and follow us on Twitter and Instagram to Follow Milo and our adventure :)
Here I am calling at least two T-Mobile stores to see the availability of the new iPhone 5S in gold. (Yes, they're all still sold out if you were wondering). But I came across a great article posted on Gawker featuring comedian Louis C.K. on why he hates smartphones. If you don't have time to watch the [really entertaining and insightful] video above, here's a snippet of what he says:
You need to build an ability to just be yourself and not be doing something. That's what the phones are taking away, is the ability to just sit there. That's being a person. Because underneath everything in your life there is that thing, that empty—forever empty. That knowledge that it's all for nothing and that you're alone. It's down there.
And sometimes when things clear away, you're not watching anything, you're in your car, and you start going, 'oh no, here it comes. That I'm alone.' It's starts to visit on you. Just this sadness. Life is tremendously sad, just by being in it…
That's why we text and drive. I look around, pretty much 100 percent of the people driving are texting. And they're killing, everybody's murdering each other with their cars. But people are willing to risk taking a life and ruining their own because they don't want to be alone for a second because it's so hard.
I like the fact that he mentions people do need to build the ability to just be yourself without having external devices helping you. I admit that I am on the phone when I get the chance to looking at email, reading blogs and visiting my social media channels but I think it's equally as important to spend time without it.
About being sad, I understood his point that phones and devices numb us to simply feeling. We occupy ourselves every minute we get to yet we don't allow ourselves to fully immerse ourselves in the emotions we feel.
Louis C.K. continues:
And I go, 'oh, I'm getting sad, gotta get the phone and write "hi" to like 50 people'…then I said, 'you know what, don't. Just be sad. Just let the sadness, stand in the way of it, and let it hit you like a truck.'
And I let it come, and I just started to feel 'oh my God,'and I pulled over and I just cried like a bitch. I cried so much. And it was beautiful. Sadness is poetic. You're lucky to live sad moments.
And then I had happy feelings. Because when you let yourself feel sad, your body has antibodies, it has happiness that comes rushing in to meet the sadness. So I was grateful to feel sad, and then I met it with true, profound happiness. It was such a trip.
The thing is, because we don't want that first bit of sad, we push it away with a little phone or a jack-off or the food. You never feel completely sad or completely happy, you just feel kinda satisfied with your product, and then you die. So that's why I don't want to get a phone for my kids.
If you read this far, I do hope you just hit play on the embedded YouTube video. Great piece by Louis C.K. that definitely rings true.
Excited for TWO photo projects I'm working on!
I'm excited to be part of two photo projects that are being produced by the end of this year and early next year. I haven't worked on something personal so these two project are surely bringing me the creative excitement I've been craving.
First up is the one I'm producing and it's Follow Milo. It will be a highly stylized interpretation on my favorite book The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. I will be working with my longtime stylist Jane Park and an amazing illustrator and friend, Agnes Lee (That's her illustration collage up top!). This is going to be an amazing collaboration and work of labor. Expect a blogsite launch real soon for all the updates plus a crowdfunding campaign with great pledge levels!
2nd up is G-Project which aims to inspire girls to greatness by focusing on influential, intelligent, and powerful women of the past and present. I'm part of a great creative team that will be in charge of not only styling young girls to portray these great role models but also educating them of the impact they have made. We are hosting a casting call this Saturday, September 21 in South San Francisco's Spark of Creation Dance Studio. More information can be found here.
Definitely stay tuned for more updates!
This is what a successful Kickstarter project looks like when celebrated with friends and family. Congrats @kidheroes!
Amazing to see the community rally in one day making up for the $12,000 deficit to make this a successful project.
Now onto to the creating the movie!
With @Rackspace at @Twitter #TCDisrupt13
Things are surely moving along with our Phantom Tollbooth photoshoot that I'm producing with the talented illustrator Agnes Lee and stylist Jane Park.
We met over great food for brunch and mimosas at Il Cane Rosso in the Ferry Building at Embcardero. We finally were able to focus on specific scenes that we will be doing in addition to our timeline. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to our November shoot date :)
It's an exciting time for all of us as this will jump start our creative juices once again. This will definitely be a collaboration to remember.
A very good morning to you!
Taking advantage of an early morning with a workout and breakfast of champs (hash browns, eggs, blueberry waffle and vegetarian sausages [to make this breakfast a bit healthier]. And yes that's ketchup and siratcha all over).
The past couple months have been really great. Our 8:45a team finished two videos for two crowdfunding clients who are doing REALLY good. Check it out:
Our team is very grateful to work with these two companies who are definitely making big waves right now (Dash is all over the news: CNN, Engadget, TechCrunch, Popular Science) and Flutter who already surpassed their goal of $80,000 in just 10 days. Wow.
We also finished working with San Francisco Federal Credit Union and are putting the final touches for a commercial for Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship.
A little hint for the future 8:45a: we'll be able to call a certain place in SF our office real soon :)
For my wedding company I cofounded, Motionscope Weddings, we finished a wedding last month as a team and just had a blast. I'm also currently building out a booth so stay tuned for the Motionscope Booth real soon!
Last but not least, my fiancé and I are continuously working with our wedding planner as our big day is already in 6 months! Next up is sending the official invites that I'm designing.
For the next few days, I'll be at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco so stay tuned for some updates on that!
This is one of the first photos I've taken with my new (and I swear last) point and shoot cam: Sony RX100.
Thanks for the great Google Hangout, Pat!
Just finished a Google Hangout with my friend and director Patricio Ginelsa and my cousin Dennis for the Lumpia II Kickstarter campaign.
Great surprise to see some old footage of the homemade movies before Lumpia including my movie! Wished I was fast enough to capture a clearer shot without the gun blocking my face! #fail
Good time guys and once again, please back up and support Pat for Lumpia! The guy is multitalented and definitely had a big impact on me. Read my post here on what I learned from a filmmaker.
Patricio Ginelsa on set of Bambu's "Books"
Who knew that a director could have made such an impact in my photography? I've "acted" in movies along with our Daly City, CA neighbors that my friend Patricio Ginelsa had directed when he was a teen. More than a decade later, I've come to be involved with his productions but on the other side of the lens as his Bay Area still photographer.
Here are 3 important traits I've learned from being both in front of the lens and behind with Patricio:

1. Community
Patricio is simply capable of rallying up people together for a cause. Money has never been a motive for people of all backgrounds and talents to lend a hand in his productions. It's the sense of community that he is able to create that people want to be part of.
His ability to bring together a community has taught me to emulate that same trait when it came down to my first major photography project, Nonage. It attempted and succeeded to bring together over 70 close friends and family to sit in front of my lens and share a personal childhood story. Pat always instilled giving back to the community and I did the same: proceeds from that photo project were donated to St. Jude's Children Hospital in hopes of enabling kids to have childhood memories of their own.
On set with Legaci's for music video "Never Got Over You"
2. Organization
I've learned that pre-production aka preparation is 70% of the work. Patricio plans and plans ahead of time to ensure that his ideas and concepts become a reality. On set with on Legaci's music video "Never Get Over You", he showed me on his tablet a 3D rendering of a particular scene to explain the shot sequence. When the music video premiered, the scene looked exactly like that 3D rendering.
The cast reviewing the shot sequence on Patricio's 3D rendering from the storyboard on Bambu's Books.
When I pitch an idea to a client, I include a storyboard that I've sketched to give the client a better idea of the concept. Taking page off of his video productions, I also include a call sheet given to all talent and crew detailing the shot sequence(s), schedule for the day, contact numbers, and maps of the locations including a nearby hospital. This PDF call sheets is something I've appreciated from Patricio's sets and I now do the same for my clients.
3. Passion
None of Patricio's work would mean anything if it wasn't for his bottomless passion. Storytelling is one of his strongest suits and paired with a passion to tell a story through motion, this is what really sets him apart from other people who hold a camera and records. Passion got him to produce one of the greatest homemade movie trilogies ever Kid Heroes, to his dream school University of Southern California, to directing Black Eyed Peas for a couple of music videos, to now putting his heart and soul in his Kickstarter project.
A Kid Heroes Productions tradition: a toast with the entire cast and crew before the final take.
I've learned that passion is what drives someone to go the distance. It's the motivator to accomplish the goal despite the naysayers and detractors. It's what drives me to pursue my dream career of photographing for both people and companies for a living.

All 3 of these traits are currently in full effect for Patricio's Kickstarter project to fund the sequel to his cult classic Lumpia. Originally premiered in 2003 in San Francisco State Univeristy, it traveled across the nation making both college and film festival attendees fans instantly. With a successful 10 year anniversary screening in Daly City where it was shot, Patricio is now focusing on his Kickstarter campaign for Lumpia II.
There is a $50k goal and I know with Patricio's sense of community, organization, and passion, this can be funded.
Please visit his Kickstarter page, watch the trailer, and support any way you can. Facebook it, Tweet it, email it.. I mean, who wouldn't want to see a lumpia wielding avenger kick ass one more time? :)
I added my email address on LinkedIn and oh no, it just started to reach out to random people who are definitely outside my immediate network. Yet among the many alerts I've been receiving lately that a certain John Smith or Jane Smith have accepted my invite, I came across one particular person who was quite ecstatic that I had "reached out" to her.
She messaged me and I guess timing couldn't have been any more perfect: She was exploring photography as a new path for her and surely she wanted my insight.
Without hesitation, I pursued the conversation and agreed to meet up with her after learning what her objectives are. Yes, I met a complete stranger in person from the internet.
Knowing that she was asking for my time for my insight on photography, we came up with an agenda beforehand to provide structure over our coffee. We talked about how I got into photography, what I felt makes one successful, and of course some resources that she should check out to help her on her new path.
Thankful for my 1 hour, she came prepared with a gift bag and it contained the above picture: a bottle of wine and a hand written Thank You card.
I've always felt blessed when I've reached out to a complete stranger on the web and received the unexpected help so I felt like this is the least I can do. I'm not condoning to meet strangers in person from the internet but I do think with due diligence one can make the wise decision to do so.
So if you're reading this, thank you for not just the lovely gift but for trusting in me to help you on your new path. You know for sure that you can contact me and as mentioned, please do keep me posted on your journey!
Before and After: Refurbishing an outdoor set
Before my fiancé came home from her vacation, I picked up this outdoor set from a dear friend and new right away what to do with it. We've had the balcony space but never fully utilized it so I wanted to surprise her with this.
I simply went to OSH and grabbed some sand paper and teak oil and went at it. In about 30 minutes, I refurbished the look of this set and added the succulent arrangement to top it off.
Now coffee/meals/laptop sessions can happen outside with fresh air.
This is now making want to look at more DIY projects.. if you have any to share, please leave it on the comments below!

Cheers to my friend Mikey as he embarks on his new chapter in life for his doctoral internship in Brooklyn, NY.

We're surely getting older but we're surely going places.
Lo and behold: my first digital camera was a Nikon Coolpix 2100 with my trusted Ritz Camera 96mb ComptactFlash card all bought in 2003.
While I currently shoot with a much fancier set up nowadays, this thing was loaded with features back then:
Yup, 2 megapixels was BIG back then in addition to the whopping 14 scene modes (that I never used by the way–even the ones that are still offered today in all point and shoot cameras).
While my digital photography "career" began in teen clubs taking event photos, I can say I'm grateful for learning photography from this $249 camera.
Here are 5 Photography Lessons I learned thanks to this camera:
1. Limitations are an advantage.
I remember shooting with this camera with flash and it would take about 14 seconds to recycle the flash to be ready for another shot. What did I do with those 14 seconds when I was shooting in a dark club? I moved to the next location and was ready to shoot the next shot.
Point is: Take advantage of what you're not provided with. No macro lens? Focus on the wider angle that you can provide. No flash? Learn to produce the best photography with available light.
2. Prepare for your shortcomings.
This camera ate batteries like chips–I learned quickly that I'd go through at least 3 sets of AA batteries a night so I had with me at least 6 sets of AA batteries. Then I discovered the wonderful technology of rapid charge rechargeable batteries. They were expensive so I could only afford 1 set of 4 AA batteries. So what did I do? I'd bring the battery recharger with me, spot an outlet before the event started, and kept cycling the batteries until I was done for the night.
Point is: No excuse to not complete your job. Prepare for the "in case of emergency" scenarios. What's in my camera case other than camera gear and backup camera gear? First aid kit, ibuprofen, flashlight, a granola bar, and a multi function screwdriver.
3. Handle with care.
This Nikon 2100 was my gem and I treated it like that. I started a small "company" with friends to do coverage of events and so I had to loan out this camera to them at times. I definitely gave them a hard time on using it that's for sure (i.e. the wrist strap must be worn at all times). But I also learned to develop a workflow to ensure that the images went from being taken, to being stored and backed up, and then being published online. While I handled the camera carefully, I learned quickly that the images were the gems.
Point is: It's ok to be anal about your gear being protected (it is bought with your money so you have every right to). But even more importantly, learn a workflow that works for you from backing up your images to building your audience with your work.
4. Understand what matters most.
When I was taking photos in the club, I learned that the teens didn't care how the photos turned out as there was a slim chance of them seeing it (yes, Flickr, Facebook, Instagram, etc did not exist yet). Instead, when they saw that orange focus beam emit, they gravitated toward the camera like moths, showed even more energy and had more fun. They simply just wanted to be photographed.
Point is: People want to be treated like star every now and then. Being professional in this field doesn't just mean that you come away with great photos because that's a given. What matters most is ensuring that your subjects are treated well beyond anyone else: you truly need to make your subject matter.
5. Own your work.
I didn't complain with my limitations of a 2 megapixel and 14 second flash recharge camera with a 96mb card. I continued to produce photos the best I could and when it became time to publish it online, I was proud of it because I felt I produced it with my best abilities.
Point is: No one will care why you didn't produce your best work. Once your photography is published on the web, there really is no room to explain what you could have done to make it better. Instead, ensure that whatever you put out, it is something you are proud of it and produced with your best ability. Simply put, own your work.
I hope you enjoyed this post and am looking forward to being more active once again on blogging. If you read all the way up to here and came from a Facebook/Twitter link, thank you for taking the time to read it!
P.S. That 96mb CompactFlash card from Ritz Camera? It costed me $96+ in 2003. Crazy right?! Here's what you can get with that money today.

Today is my last class I'm teaching.
Many of my friends and family know that I've been teaching 7th graders morality almost every Saturday for as long as I can remember (involved in CCD since 2001). I was a teacher's aid until formally teaching my own class for well over 6 years. If this a surprise to you, well I did grow up with a tight knit family who went to church every Sunday and then I did go to a Jesuit high school (Go Wildcats!) and college (Go Dons!) :)
In all my years teaching this class that's on morality, I can boil it down to two lessons. After the food aka sugar we had this morning (Krispy Kreme, cupcakes, and sugared drinks), I reminded them all of these two lessons:
First is to treat others how you want to be treated. Known as the "Golden Rule", it's just a tried and true rule that everyone should follow regardless of religion, age, or race. This also works the other way: don't expect to be treated a certain way if you haven't treated someone else the way you wanted to. Call it karma or call it paying it forward or whatever, what goes around truly does come around.
The second lesson is to do good by following your head, heart, and gut. To me, these three (head, heart, and gut) form one's conscious and ultimately shape one's morals to live by.
Your head is everything that's learned in class, picked up from the streets, or passed onto by wisdom. Your heart is what allows you to be compassionate for others and what drives you to be passionate for what you believe in and stand by. Finally, your gut is the best tool when your head and heart fail to determine what you're suppose to do when faced a decision. It just "knows" what's right and you really should feel it, so don't ever ignore it.
I remind the kids today that these two lessons will surely take them where they want to be. Just like any teacher, the goal is to instill values and lessons that the kids will absorb and hopefully remember for the long run.
As I looked across the room and at each young face, I am grateful to be at their presence making an impression in their lives for the last time.

Banana Coconut Smoothie
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 0 mins
I made this up one day when I had coconut milk leftover from making curry. It makes for a refreshing and filling snack or small meal.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 frozen banana
- 1⁄2 cup coconut milk
- 1⁄2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
- 1⁄4 cup skim milk
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons lime juice (optional)
- ice cube (optional)
- Peel banana and cut into large chunks. (You can put the frozen banana under hot water to make it easier to peel).
- Add yogurt, milk, coconut milk, banana, honey, and lime juice to blender. Blend until smooth.
- Add more milk to make it thinner, ice to make it thicker.
Most Helpful
I did not like at all. I followed the recipe as described (although added only 1 tsp of lime juice) but I think it needs some more honey or sugar... and something more. I prefer the Thai banana & coconut milk dessert. Anyway, it is refreshing so I am gonna drink it all.
This was delicious and wonderful for a snack. I really like the lime juice, it adds a nice kick. I bet it would be great for a summer breakfast, too!
Very nice smoothie. Made it as stated with the exception of the lime juice. Very nice snack.

Overall Talent:
Kari is very talented and a true professional, while she was hired to be backround music there were plenty that stopped to listen to her performance. What makes a true professional is to be able to stand up there and play non-stop while not getting a lot of feedback due to other activities going on, and she did just that. I received many positive comments about her ability by those attending our function. Her performance was outstanding and she played such a variety of music that everyone heard something that they liked. I would strongly recommend Kari to those who would like to have an acustic guitar player at their function.- John B

Feeding for Sound Summer Hooves
If you're like many horse owners, you give your horse at least a brief time-off period in the winter, planning a busier schedule of training and riding in the spring, summer, and fall months. With conditioning, shows, trail rides, parades, and other horse-related events, summer may be your busiest riding time. Keeping your horse sound for all this activity is partly related to taking good care of his hooves year-round. Feeding for sound equine feet, however, can't be accomplished in a few weeks...read more>

PHOTO: Your Busch Stadium 'Cubs troll' jersey of day
MORE: All 15 Fall Classic walk-offs ever
ST. LOUIS -- Spotted outside Busch Stadium prior to Game 6 of the NLCS between the Dodgers and Cardinals ...
The Cubs-Cardinals rivalry -- the encased meat of baseball feuds -- is always near at hand, you see. Within the bounds of that jersey back you see a reference not only to the Cubs' 105-year World Series drought, but also to L'Affaire Bartman. The troll is strong here. Strong indeed.
Anyhow, the gentleman in question says he makes a new such jersey each year and retires the old one, which he may or may not toast alongside the '72 Dolphins, who are always available for such occasions (to say nothing of Bar Mitzvahs).

Full-time: Sunderland 1-1 Manchester United
It's over. It's finally over. Thanks for reading. Bye.
90 min+4: Januzaj slashes wide from 30 yards and that should be that.
90 min+1: Jozy Altidore suddenly finds himself charging at the backtracking United defence, with Wickham up alongside him for support. Then he tries a stepover.
90 min: There will be four minutes of stoppage time.
89 min: Young's low effort from 25 yards is saved by Mannone.
88 min: Sunderland shortcircuit in defence again, Brown's clearing header from a Young cross hitting Rooney and almost falling to Welbeck. But Mannone is ready and waiting.
87 min: Sunderland make an unholy mess of dealing with a simple ball into the box and almost gift United the winner. Larsson's attempted header back to Mannone was misdirected and almost ran to a United forward but the ball was hacked clear to Young on the left. His shot is blocked.
86 min: This has been not good from United. The main thing they can take from this match is how their young defenders have fared.
83 min: Swing another cross in, Ashley.
82 min: Van Aanholt tries to score from 35 yards. He does not succeed.
81 min: "Mathieu Flamini," says Vivek. "Black boots. Always."
79 min: Sunderland bring on Liam Bridcutt for Will Buckley. I do believe they've settled for a point.
78 min: This is United's best chance of the second half. Rooney and Welbeck combined on the right and the latter then turned and sprayed a wonderful pass through to Young on the left, with Vergini having vacated his right-back duties. Young was free on goal but Mannone raced out of his area and beat him to the ball with a crunching challenge. Moments later, Januzaj wafts one well over from 25 yards.
77 min: Jozy Altidore, for it is he, replaces Steven Fletcher.
76 min: "I was just wondering if there any football players that still play with black and white boots?" says Irfan Hussain. Roberto Soldado was the only player wearing black boots when Tottenham played Aston Villa last season.
75 min: No. But it was close. Larsson achieved dip and curl but it swung too much and flew wide of the right post.
73 min: Jordi Gomez makes the most of Michael Keane going near him by tumbling just outside the United area. Larsson is standing over the free-kick. Is this the moment for Sunderland?
70 min: United win a corner on the right. Mata curls it in and Keane's header drops into the arms of Mannone. "Jordi Gomez, eh?" says Marie Meyer. "Will Man U counter by bringing on Skouser Smith?"
68 min: Sunderland are pressing again. Blackett's poor pass is intercepted by Wickham, who releases Larsson on the right. But he's not quick enough to get properly clear of Januzaj, who recovers to block his shot behind for a corner, which United clear.
66 min: Tom Cleverley is booked for an inept challenge on Lee Cattermole. "To this United fan of six and a half decades, these United players look like they'd be happier playing shuffleboard against an old folks team," says Peter Young.
65 min: From a Larsson corner, Vergini hooks a difficult chance over. The ball arrived at him on the bounce. But he was unmarked.
64 min: Sunderland make their first change, Jordi Gomez replacing Jack Rodwell.
63 min: Danny Welbeck and Adnan Januzaj on, Robin van Persie and Darren Fletcher off. Can Welbeck be United's Klaas-Jan Huntelaar?
62 min: Ashley Young is booked for diving in an attempt to win a penalty, flinging himself theatrically over a nothing challenge from Wes Brown on the left of the area! He is truly pathetic. Let's hope there's a vengeful bird flying in his vicinity soon. Moments before, Van Persie actually had a proper claim for a penalty when he was challenged a little clumsily by Vergini, who got both man and ball, after a strong run. Sunderland then made life difficult for themselves, a slack clearance running to Young, but then he went and showed why United fans can't stand him.
61 min: Sunderland are being pinned back now. Van Persie wakes up for the first time and receives a pass from Fletcher on the edge of the area, before turning sharply and prodding the ball through to the onrushing Mata, whose heavy touch under pressure allows Mannone to smother.
60 min: "Attack! Attack! Attack!" cry the United fans.
59 min: Valencia knocks a pass down the line to Mata, who's cross is blocked behind for a corner. Mata's corner is punched away by Mannone. His subsequent cross is headed away by Fletcher. But United are seeing more of the ball now.
57 min: Danny Welbeck, who has been told he can leave United, is readying himself.
54 min: Gary Neville's irritation is growing. "It's so ponderous, though, the play," he seethes. "It's just really predictable, you know the next three passes before they happen." He's not happy, he's not wrong.
52 min: Wayne Rooney tries to charge past Buckley on the left as United break from the Sunderland corner. He ends up fouling Buckley.
51 min: Sunderland should be ahead. Buckley clips a pass over the top, intended for Wickham on the left of the area. Keane should clear it but he misjudges the flight of the ball and allows it through to Wickham. He then ducks back inside, past Keane, but makes of his volley. It's heading wide but then hits the unwitting Blackett and almost dribbles in. Instead it dribbles just wide.
50 min: Ashley Young curls a cross straight at Mannone. Dearie me.
48 min: Sunderland are distressed after Vergini is penalised for a foul on Cleverley, just when he was poised to run through on goal.
46 min: We go again. "Hawrite Jacob!" says Ryan Dunne. "Moyes to Van Gaal; ah, how much can change in a year! Why, this time last year I was single and emailing MBMs in between Star Wars podcasts and watching Seinf...oh."
Half-time: Sunderland 1-1 Manchester United
Well, that wasn't a particularly impressive half from United. They took the lead through Juan Mata but haven't done much else and have mostly been outplayed by Sunderland, who equalised through Jack Rodwell. This game is there to be won for the home side.
45 min: Van Persie has been extremely sluggish. United have been so slow.
44 min: Michael Keane replaces Smalling. This is the youngster's Premier League debut.
43 min: Smalling has managed to play on for around 20 minutes despite that hamstring injury but it seems his afternoon will soon be at end. Michael Keane is getting ready again.
42 min: Vergini hoicks a deep cross to the far post. Rodwell rises highest to head it back across goal and Fletcher holds off Jones and acrobatically sends an overhead kick well wide.
41 min: Important news from Gary Naylor.
38 min: United stroke the ball around in front of Sunderland but there's no spark or change of pace and eventually Van Aanholt decides he's had enough of this lumbering nonsense and steps in to nab the ball off a sheepish Van Persie. "I vaguely recall LvG at one point (perhaps re: the Dutch team) stating that playing 3 at the back isn't a system he is particularly wedded to/likes," says Michael Shaffer. "Instead, it was what he had to do given the players available. Maybe the purchase of di Maria speaks to system he wants to play, eventually, rather than the system he feels he has to play at the moment."
36 min: "Following Barry Glendenning's piece today, just wondering if there will be an Observer piece next weekend going behind the scenes of MBM?" says Noel Markham. Yes, hopefully done by someone who's doing an MBM at the same time.
35 min: Rooney did fancy it but that didn't matter. Mata ran over the ball - thereby fooling everyone, the clever sod, Sunderland didn't know what to do - and Rooney stepped up to curl harmlessly wide.
33 min: We've seen very little of Rooney so far. But here he is, coming deep in search of the ball, and eventually winning a free-kick when Larsson catches him clumsily. Rooney will fancy this. It's 25 yards out and favours the right-footer.
GOAL! Sunderland 1-1 Manchester United (Rodwell, 30 min)
Jack Rodwell, looking to revive his career up in the north east, equalises for Sunderland on his home debut with a thumping header! Van Gaal won't be pleased, mind you. Larsson's delivery was difficult to deal with but Valencia let Rodwell go and the former Manchester City midfielder gave De Gea no chance with a downward header. He likes playing against United. Remember that goal he scored for Everton against them in a 3-1 win at Goodison Park in 2010?
30 min: More excellence from Buckley, who has the beating of United down Sunderland's right. He zigzags through challenges and reaches the byline but his cross is cleared. He gets another go, though, and this time his cross is deflected behind for corner. From which...
28 min: This is better from Sunderland. Wickham drops deep and allows a throw from the left to run across his body, before thwacking not too far wide from 25 yards. De Gea was worried.
25 min: Van Persie has done two fouls. It's his first game back, forgive him, he's just feeling his way in.
24 min: Roving left wing-back Ashley Young scampers down the left, beats Vergini and delivers a cross to the far post which Brown heads behind for a corner. But nothing comes from it.
23 min: Sunderland look like they have been rocked by going behind. United have calmed down. They've settled. They look a bit more like Manchester United.
21 min: Smalling still hasn't gone off. Geoff Shreeves lied to me. How could he?
18 min: United lead but they still have problems. Chris Smalling has tweaked his hamstring and Michael Keane's introduction is imminent.
GOAL! Sunderland 0-1 Manchester United (Mata, 17 min)
After all the Sunderland pressure, Juan Mata gives Manchester United the lead. Louis van Gaal is a genius. Antonio Valencia made the goal, finding some space on the right and driving a low cross towards the far post, where Mata stole a march on Larsson to tap home from three yards out!
16 min: Sunderland threaten again. Darren Fletcher is caught dawdling and Will Buckley shows great initiative to storm inside from the right, easily beating Blackett, and then roll a pass through to Wickham on the left. He's through on goal but gets the ball stuck under his feet and scuffs it straight at De Gea. And...
14 min: A spell of concerted Sunderland pressure, including a neat free-kick that saw Larsson cut a ball back to Cattermole for a shot that is blocked, is eventually seen through by United. "Goodness, Van Gaal has a fat throat," Mac Millings observes. "Is his name Dutch for Louis Turtleson?"
13 min: "Your last name is Blackett? That would be like if my name was Jew. Larry Jew. Because I'm Jewish."
11 min: Interestingly - or not, depending on your perspective - Gus Poyet is wearing a suit and his assistant, Mauricio Tarrico, is wearing a tracksuit. Don't they coordinate? Does that make it difficult when they head out after work?
10 min: Sunderland appeal loudly for a foul on Fletcher by Smalling, but the flag is up for offside anyway. "Not sure I understand where people are coming from questioning Di Maria's purchase when Ashley Young is a regular starter for United these days," says Philip Podolsky. "They need quality and pace in their attack and Di Maria, one of the best wingers in the world, should fulfill the Robben-in-LVG's-Holland role for them. It's obvious they need further purchases, but it's as good a start as it gets."
8 min: Valencia tees up Cleverley on the edge of the United area but he sends his effort miles over the bar. It's now 1-1 in shots off target. "Isn't that what most teams do- buying good players because they become available?" says Ore Popoola. "It's why Fabregas is in Chelsea, why Alexis Sanchez and Özil are in Arsenal. I don't see anybody questioning those moves, besides, United's team is especially short on quality in the areas where they've bought."
Well yes, but United still have a lot of holes they need to fill. And Fabregas was a player an already solid Chelsea squad required.
6 min: United settle down for the first time, enjoying some possession inside Sunderland's half. It lasts for a while, until Mata slides a pass through to Van Persie, who is outmuscled by Brown. "As a United fan, if you'd told me two years ago that my team would have Mata, Van Persie and Di Maria, I would think it was just Football Manager with the cheats on," says Ciaran Bradley.
4 min: Van Gaal and Ryan Giggs are already making notes. Van Gaal's notebook is much bigger than Giggs's. Although it could be some kind of electronic device. Giggs's is just a small notepad. And they'll be scribbling more after another sight of goal for Sunderland, Larsson volleying wide from 18 yards. Sunderland will be pleased with this start.
3 min: There's a fine atmosphere inside the Stadium of Light. Sunderland's fans fancy this. They don't think much of this three-man system United are playing!
And we're off! Manchester United get the ball rolling, kicking from right to left in the first half. But it's Sunderland who are immediately on the attack! Ashley Young puts United in trouble with a poor pass straight to Wickham, who charges forward before slipping the ball through to Fletcher, momentarily in the clear. Jones saves United with a sliding challenge but the ball almost comes to Buckley on the right, only for Young to redeem himself. "Mad props for de bantz," says Marie Meyer. "I am reliably informed that is how the young people of today express themselves." Sik 1.
The teams emerge. Sunderland are in red and white stripes. Manchester United are all in blue. The music from the Apprentice is playing.
"The problem that people seem to have with the Di Maria transfer is a little short-sighted," says Ciaran Bradley. "The assumption is that this negates United's ability to spend on a centre-back and a central midfielder, but with the Adidas and Chevrolet deals, United have are going to be rolling round in a gold-plated Veyron, throwing £50s at all and sundry. Whether they decide to come or not is their issue, and not one the club can do a great deal about."
"With Di Maria, aren't United doing what they already did with Mata and Van Persie - buying a top player because they happen to be available rather than because they need them?" says Ethan Dean-Richards. "The last two seasons were all about whether those big players could fit together, aren't we about to spend this season wondering if Herrera, Mata and Di Maria is a workable midfield three?"
Look. Van Gaal once dropped his trousers in front of the Bayern squad.
"Hi Jacob, as much as I admire LVG and his ways I think he's bitten off more than he can chew this time," says John Mc Enerney. "When he took over at FCB & BM they weren't in as bad shape a shape as MUFC are, he'll certainly shake them up a bit but he doesn't have the personnel to win the PL. They might win a cup, DiMaria isn't the answer to their problems."
Looking at their team today - and I know they have players out - hey need more than just Di Maria.
The teams
Sunderland: Mannone; Vergini, O'Shea, Brown, Van Aanholt; Cattermole, Larsson, Rodwell; Buckley, Fletcher, Wickham. Subs: Pantilimon, Jones, Bridcutt, Gomez, Altidore, Mavrias, Roberge.
Man Utd: De Gea; Jones, Smalling, Blackett; Valencia, Fletcher, Cleverley, Young; Mata; Rooney, Van Persie. Subs: Januzaj, Hernandez, Welbeck, Kagawa, Michael Keane, Amos, James.
Referee: Martin Atkinson (W Yorkshire)
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the first relegation six-pointer of the season. Sunderland got off to a respectable start last week, a 2-2 draw away to West Brom, but it was a disastrous start to life for Manchester United, whose woes were exacerbated by a limp 2-1 defeat at home to Swansea City. Some brave new era: Louis van Gaal is already under pressure and the heat really be on the new United manager if they lose again this afternoon!
And that, lads, is how you do banter. Some top-grade banter from me there, a prime example of how to let off some steam without offending anyone apart from Manchester United fans and people who like their jokes to be funny. Obviously it is too early to get too carried away by United's shabby performance last weekend, partly because Van Gaal has said that it will take time for him to fully implement his methods at Old Trafford and also because there is still plenty of time for Ed Woodward to work his magic in the transfer market.
And it just so happens that United have made a signing this week, Marcos Rojo arriving from Sporting Lisbon. It's not a showy signing and people who have seen him play more than I have say that he can be quite erratic, but Van Gaal is pleased because Rojo is a defender who can fit into his 3-5-2 system. Also, he's a defender, and United don't have many of those available at the moment. It was getting to the point where they were on the verge of releasing William Prunier from the storage container he's been in since 2 January 1996 and sending him out to play.
But more exciting than Rojo is the potential arrival of none other than Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid. Now this would be a coup when the current state of United is taken into account. Di Maria has been in outstanding form this year, he's in the form of his life and Madrid really shouldn't be selling him. But selling him they are and it looks like United are going to be the beneficiaries.
Will Di Maria alone be enough, though? Van Gaal has admitted that this is a broken squad with a lot of structural flaws. They are short at the back, the 3-man system will take time to settle and may require better wing-backs and central midfield remains a problem despite the arrival of Ander Herrera. They have a lot of injuries too. You know, it wouldn't be a miracle if Sunderland win this today.
Kick-off: 4pm.

Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 61 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5 by ladydee could be better i wouldn't stay here if it weren't for gaining points on my SPG account. the overall experience is a 4 out of 10. a lot of things need fixing, from amenities to staff attitude/professionalism. it's rather annoying to pay that much and leave unsatisfied. fix the smelly carpets in the halls and the cooling system already! bellboy still not readily available at time of check in, food is not up to par, some staff totally clueless and rude, no room slippers... on the plus side i left some items behind, emailed the hotel and the response was swift! August 25, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Slickston07 This hotels offers good amenities The hotel is well presented and I always stay at the hotel anytime I'm in Port Harcourt. The rooms are nice and the room service to a high standard. What lets the hotel down is the lack of recognition that SPG members get at front desk and the inability of staff to resolve problems. The front desk is often unaware of upgrades for members and can't handle redemption of SPG points. June 22, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by seeg Very impressed Its a beautiful hotel. I enjoyed my stay and hope to be back. November 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by daps The Hotel has wonderful rooms the rooms are lovely..... November 24, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Ahm78 Very Bad Hotel Very Bad staff and services, Room is not good at all, AC is bad and they try to do the maintenance at 10:35 PM and when failed, they changed the room with very bad on also. don't waste your money and time in this Hotel November 2, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Andrewgill Getting worse by the day This hotel is consistently falling in standards. Restuarants are never ready on time. Still setting up well after opening. Food quality poor, mainly all local with a couple of foreign dishes which are either over or under cooked. They need to go see how it should be done by visiting the 4 points in Lagos. TV system. Has 30 channels. This time they excelled themselves and had 14 working which reduced to only 4 working and one of these was the spg channel. Nobody cares. Picture is either too bright, too dark, too loud, too soft and is consistently not available. When I complained I was told...we are working on it. Yes, you have been for over a year and still no improvement. SPG members not recognized having to ask for a decent room and having to request our privileges. October 30, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Victory123 The Hotel has Excellent Customer Service The hotel has very nice people. From the Lovely Ladies at the front desk to the gentlemen at the door October 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Manney Good and Attrative Evening outlook The hotel has a good view over the Polo grounds and gives a powerful look over the area. keep up the lightings. Make it colorful. August 13, 2014

In these days of social media, that saturate the internet with the latest case of real (or imagined) police brutality, and countless stories of government employees with badges and guns killing pets, closing children's lemonade stands, and dropping grenades into children's cribs, it is far too easy to vilify ALL government employees who wear a badge and carry a gun.

Hyundai Xcent: Competition Check
Hyundai Xcent
After discontinuing sales of Hyundai's longest selling sedan, the Accent, Hyundai has now unveiled its Grand i10 based sedan at the 2014 Indian Auto Expo. The fact, that this new sedan has been named after the outgoing Accent, speaks volumes about its fan following. The Xcent is Hyundai's attempt at making a place for itself in the sub 4- metre sedan segment.
The Xcent will not only be based on the same platform as the Grand i10 but will also come with the same engine options – the 1.2-litre Kappa 2 petrol unit and the 1.1-litre diesel powerplant. We expect the power rating to remain unchanged. On the inside, the Xcent will be a familiar office for those who have seen the Grand i10. Hyundai will continue its trend of loading their car with equipments such as button start/stop, keyless entry, rear AC vents, reversing camera, Bluetooth telephony, steering mounted controls and the works.
With the Xcent, Hyundai seems to have made all the right moves, on paper at least, but when you take into account its competitors like Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Honda Amaze and the soon to be launched Tata Zest, the Xcent will surely have a task at hand.

Phoenix Suns
McCoy: Gentry feels he's set with lineup for rest of season
Alvin Gentry may have found a permanent solution to his team's offensive woes.
The Suns' head coach has experimented with five different starting lineups this season, with the most recent shake-up coming Dec. 12. Since then, the Suns have won four straight games.
"I think coach Gentry likes the starting unit and certainly you'd have to say Jared Dudley and Shannon Brown have responded," Suns' announcer Al McCoy told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Friday.
McCoy thinks Gentry will stick with the starting five of Luis Scola, Jared Dudley, Shannon Brown, Goran Dragic and Marcin Gortat going forward.
"I think it's going to last a long time," McCoy said. "[Gentry] said he feels he's set with this lineup for the rest of the season. Certainly the moves have been productive."
Dudley has seen his play improve since changing positions and Brown has thrived in his starting role.
"Jared Dudley is where he belongs, he's a small forward. He really operates in that position very well," McCoy stated. "Shannon Brown who wants to be a starter, he's one of the few players who can create shots on this team, so he's been certainly a great addition and I think that coach Gentry is very, very comfortable with that lineup."

Picture: 'X-Men' actress Famke Janssen takes her dog, Licorice, for a walk through SoHo New York City, USA - 28.06.07
Actress Rebecca Romijn was sacked from her first job at a poultry shop, because she stole chickens every day.
But not before the X-MEN star became so handy with the fowl she learned to bone a chicken breast in seven seconds.
She explains, "When I first got there, the guy who was training me said, 'You can take one of these for lunch if you want.' I was like, 'Really? Everyday?' and he said, 'Just be cool about it.'
"So I took one every day. I would just go out to my car and turn on my old-school hip-hop and eat my chicken.
"Finally one day the boss came and knocked on my window and said, 'You've been taking chicken every day since you've worked here.'
"I told her they were delicious and she said, 'You're fired.'"
