Under the Cottonwoods
by Douglas H. Thayer
Chapter 8
Under the Cottonwoods
[p.155]Paul kept both sweaty hands on the steering wheel and breathed through his mouth. Her diaper dirty, Lisa lay just behind him in the back of the station-wagon on the mattress. Valerie was asleep further back and Richard lay over behind Beth. Richard had stopped crying for Lisa's bottle, but he still whimpered. They had just passed the Lehi turnoff and, from the elevation of the freeway, Utah Lake glared to the west like a huge aluminum roof in the afternoon August sun. The air-conditioning on the new Buick had gone out just after they left Reno, but now Beth was afraid that if they rolled down the windows another hornet might get in and sting one of the children. He'd had to stop and kill a hornet just before they came to Lehi, and since then the only circulation had been the air vents.
Paul glanced over at Beth. Five months pregnant, she sat sweaty and flushed, silent, one of her church books open on her lap. Counting miscarriages, it was her seventh pregnancy in the nine years they had been married. He had wanted to fly out from San Francisco [p.156]and rent a car in Salt Lake City, but Beth said that they would need the big new Buick for all of the running around the wedding would involve. His brother Mark, a year home from his mission, was getting married, and Beth's sister Stephanie was the maid of honor. If they had flown out he might have had an extra day on Strawberry Reservoir fishing. It would be nice to fish two days instead of just one. As a boy he had always fished the lower Provo River, until the army engineers gutted it for flood control.
Even while he was in dental school and then later in his orthodontics residency, they had tried to get home on vacation each summer, but it wasn't always a rest. One year they stayed with his parents, the next with Beth's, and it seemed as if they had a family dinner or a canyon picnic every evening, with both families invited, including his and Beth's married brothers and sisters and their children. One night his mother always had the neighbors and family friends over for a buffet on the back lawn, and the mothers of the boys he had known told him about their sons, who were doctors, lawyers, professors, and engineers, told what positions they held in the Church, how many children they had, if they had bought new houses. But the mothers whose sons had not achieved were silent, told him what a fine example he was. One night three mothers told him that.
All his life he had been an example. At first he had to be an example for his younger brothers and sisters, then for the neighborhood boys, for his classmates. In the army he had to be the example of a Mormon for his whole company, never do or say anything that would discredit the Church. His example was supposed to help other servicemen to become interested in the [p.157]Church, investigate it, join. And before they would do that they had to find that he was clean, wholesome, spiritual, happy, different from them, had something they didn't have, which they would ask him about. On his mission he had to be an example for his junior companion, for the elders in his zone when he became a zone leader, and finally for all of the elders in the mission when he became assistant to the mission president. When he went to Washington to dental school, he had to be an example too, both he and Beth had to, for all the dental students and their wives. Now in the Palo Alto Ward he had to be an example for all of the Stanford students; he and Beth were what they wanted to become. It was is if being an example were more important than being a person.
He even felt guilty when he took a day of their vacation to go fishing, was away from the family when the vacation was so short. He liked Strawberry best in the late evening when most of the other fishermen had gone home, the boat motors silent, lights on in the fishing camps. Then he fly fished for the big rainbow trout, waded out in the dark cool water with hip boots, used a weighted bubble on his monofilament line to cast his fly seventy or eighty feet out, trolled it back slowly, waited there in the darkness for a big fish to strike, watched the circles where they fed in the moonlight or jumped silver into the air. The Provo River German browns were gold and the Strawberry rainbows rose-silver.
"Richard, be quiet. You're too big for Lisa's bottle."
"He'll be all right, dear," Beth said, "as soon as we get home. He's just tired."
From the freeway Paul watched the whole valley pass. New homes lined the edges of the Orem bench [p.158]on the left, many of the orchards gone now where he picked fruit as a boy, and new homes lined the roads below the freeway. From Lehi on he had watched for a flock of pigeons but had seen only gulls flying toward the lake. Because the gulls had rescued Brigham Young and the pioneers from the crickets, they were the state bird, protected by state law. As a boy he rode his bike down the county roads trying to spot flocks of pigeons by the flash of their wings in the sun when they wheeled. His flock had all been white. He had traded all over Provo for white pigeons because he liked to see them flying over the neighborhood against the blue sky. At night, his bedroom window open, he lay and listened to the pigeons cooing in their coop on the side of the garage.
But after he was thirteen or fourteen, he couldn't remember being a boy. He had graduated from Provo High School, filled a mission for the Church, been in the army, gotten married, graduated from B. Y. U. and then dental school, finished an orthodontics residency and been in practice one year. He would build a house, a clinic of his own, he and Beth would have three or four more children, and he would probably move up from second counselor to bishop of the Palo Alto Ward, be on the high council, maybe be stake president in ten years. He had done and would do all of those things he was expected to, but his whole life seemed so ordered, predetermined, rushed, tense. At times he felt like a robot, had little sense of controlling his own life, being individual.
He needed memories of his boyhood for balance now, a knowledge that at one time in his life he had been spontaneous, free, full of emotion without obligation, unaware of time, purely physical. But he [p.159]didn't have that horde of memories he could bring out and look at. In his yearbooks he was a serious-looking, almost fierce boy in a tie and long-sleeved shirt who was a member of the chemistry and mathematics clubs and vice-president of his seminary class. Because he had an after-school job, he hadn't played any varsity sports or been in any school plays. He was never the most preferred boy, a student-body officer, or member of the junior prom committee. He was the student with the third highest grade point average to graduate his year. When he looked at the pictures of all the pretty girls who had been his classmates, he couldn't remember kissing any of them. And among the pictures of the boys he found few that were the faces of friends.
"Paul, hadn't we better stop at the rest area and clean up a little before we get home?" Beth turned to look at him. "I need to change the baby, and I don't want your mother to see us looking like this."
"Okay." They always stopped to clean up before they drove into Provo.
They passed Geneva Steel Plant—two miles of railroad tracks, tanks, towers, smokestacks, blast furnaces, and metal buildings all shimmering in the heat and the thin grey smoke. His mother would come running out to take the children to bathe them and get them ready for supper. Later they would sleep in the clean fresh beds in Jim's room. Jim, his youngest brother, was on a mission in Brazil. Beth's parents would come over as soon as she called them. The house would be gleaming, everything scrubbed, polished, and washed, the refrigerator and freezer full of food, and the lawns like carpet. Every summer his mother spent two or three weeks preparing for their [p.160]visit, and the order and cleanliness, he knew, were a physical expression of her love. He had spent his life trying to achieve the happiness and perfection his mother wanted for him, and now he was doing it for Beth.
Ahead on the left, running at right angles to the freeway, a line of cottonwood trees marked the Provo River, the biggest clump marking the spot where their swimming hole had been by the railroad bridges. The water had been fifteen feet deep off the big flat boulders they called the ledge. The cottonwoods were like a great green tent, the river making everything cool in spite of the hot Utah desert sun. And they swam, dived, swung out on their rope swing, had water fights, played tag, their brown naked wet bodies flashing in the sun like metal when they left the shade. Each group of boys had a favorite hole, the river a series of holes for six or seven miles from the mouth of the canyon to the lake. No one bothered them except the older boys, who, after they were finished in the fruit orchards, swam in the late afternoons. Tired, he liked to float, close his eyes against the sun, or to lie on the warm ledge and drop pellets of bread to the minnows, watch for trout. But when Provo grew after the War and people started building houses along the river, the army engineers walked their big Caterpillars down the river bed to pile up rock flood-control dikes, tear out all the holes, make a canal out of the river. That had ended the swimming and the fishing.
The "Rest Area" sign came up. Paul flipped on the blinker, lifted his foot off the gas and turned in, stopping in a patch of shade under three cottonwoods that the state road commission had managed to leave standing. The cement walk led to the fountain, three [p.161]canopied green picnic tables, and the square new restrooms.
"Come on, miserable," he said, and reached back over the seat to pull Richard out by the arm, took one of the blankets and spread it in the shade. Valerie was still asleep by the back window. When he gave Richard Lisa's bottle, he was quiet.
"Oh, honey," Beth said, "he's too old. You'll ruin his training." She knelt on the seat to reach in the back for the diaper bag.
"Anything to keep him quiet for five minutes." Two big Diesels pounded by trailing black exhaust. Across the freeway and along the river the big cottonwoods around the hole, some of them six or seven feet thick and eight feet high, were still standing. The hundred-yard-wide band of willows and trees along both sides of the river was gone except for the big trees. He had been back to stand there on the ledge, which still remained, and look at the channel lined with white glaring rocks. He had been alive there under the trees, full of a kind of freedom, sensation, and pure careless joy he had never known afterward, a sense of being.
He turned. "I'll be back in ten or fifteen minutes, Beth. I'm going to walk over to the river."
"Oh, Paul honey, we haven't got time now for you to go over to that swimming hole of yours. Your mother expects us for supper and we all have to bathe first."
They had stopped to call from Salt Lake City. He looked at his watch. It was four-thirty. "We've got time," and he was already walking. He would hurry. He had told Beth about the swimming hole, and last year driving in on the new freeway he slowed down to [p.162]point out the trees. He talked about it to friends and even to patients. Paul slid down through the space between the bridge abutment and the chain-link fence and climbed down the high rock dike to where the hornets lit along the trickle of water in the bottom, the only water that came down the channel except during the spring runoff. When he got under the freeway bridges and up on the cut hay field, Beth honked at him. She stood pointing at her watch. He waved, walked across the field and into the trees, where it was cooler. He stopped to look up into the high limbs, breathe the cottonwood smell, then walked through the trees out onto the shaded ledge. With the water gone the real coolness was gone too, along with all the frogs, minnows, and trout.
The hole had been about half the size of a tennis court, and smooth, just enough water flowing in and out to keep it fresh and cool. The first thing that he always did once he got his clothes pulled off was to run and dive as far out as he could off the ledge, cut down, down, down, into the cool clear water, then shoot up out of it again, the water giving him sensation all over. He ran and dived many times, then finally stayed under, glided smooth and clean, pushing with his arms, following minnows. When he swung out on the rope swing, the air cooled his wet naked body, and when he let go, dropped, the sensation went up through to his skull. Later, spread-eagled on the ledge with the other boys, he felt his body full of the sensation of heat.
He liked to fish alone. He pulled on his Levis, the copper rivets burning his skin, put on his gym shoes, took his pole and walked up through the trees. He waded in the river, rolled his worm through the [p.163]shaded holes and pockets, caught chubs, suckers. Tap, tap, tap, the trout bit, then hooked, fought, went deep, made sudden rushes, the pole an extension of his arm, bringing the feeling into his body, connecting him and the trout. Tired, the trout rose out of the deep water, flashed gold, the rushes shorter, and he pulled it up onto the rocks, held it in both hands to smash its head, cleaned it, threw the entrails to the gulls. Fresh from the water the German browns were beautiful, gold with red, black, and orange dots like jewels, but the beauty faded. When he took fish home his father told him about the big ones he had caught on the river as a boy.
Reaching down, Paul picked up one of the warm, water-smooth rocks, held it for a moment then lobbed it out into the channel. A gull flew past him low going upstream, turning its head from side to side looking for something to eat. He was eight when he first saw the gold monument to the gulls on Temple Square in Salt Lake City.
His father convinced his mother that it was safe for him to swim in the river, but before he could go he had to practice the piano and finish his work. He weeded, hoed, and irrigated the garden, mowed, trimmed, raked, and watered the lawn, weeded the front flower beds, washed the house windows on the outside, washed the car for Sunday. The checks on his mother's daily list showed that he had worked hard, been a good example for his younger brothers and sisters. And when he began to do jobs for his grandmother's friends, who paid him, his mother helped him keep an account of his money so that he could pay his tithing. Most of his money he saved for his mission and college, although he could spend some.
[p.164]His mother said, "Everything you do is a reflection of yourself, Paul. People know you by what you do." He believed this, saw that it was true, and out of pride, love for his mother and father, he wanted to do everything right, fulfill their high opinion of him, reward their hard work and struggle, be an example. The polished windows, trimmed neat lawns, weedless garden became a mirror of himself, like his clothes, speech, and Sunday School attendance, his Boy Scout badges. When he pulled weeds it was as if he pulled them out of his own flesh, and he was impatient for them to dry so that he could burn them. Work was moral. Thus he became fierce about right and wrong younger than most boys, sought the perfection he was taught was possible, believed he too would become a god.
Work took him away from the river the summer before the army engineers destroyed it. He didn't have time any more for play, or if he did it was only in the evenings or when the Orem farmers didn't have cherries, apricots, peaches, pears, or apples to be picked, because at fourteen he was old enough to work in the orchards, fill the baskets with fruit. Sweaty, his mouth dry with dust from the trees, he broke off stems until the ends of his fingers became numb. He worked both hands at a time, kept a steady stream of fruit going into the canvas bag, felt the growing weight against his stomach and loins, tried to pick more than the other boys. In his mind he added up how much money he was making at five cents a bushel, knew how much it was possible to make in an hour. He stopped only to eat lunch or, standing on a high ladder, to watch the farmer's flock of pigeons wheeling over the orchard. When he quit work each afternoon, he looked down [p.165]the row of trees to see the sixty or seventy baskets of peaches, pears, or apples he had picked. He didn't like the farmer to haul any of his baskets off before the end of the day. He was always anxious to get home to tell his mother how much he had picked.
"You'll make a fine dentist, son," she often said, encouraged him. She wanted him to have a better life than his father had working for the Union Pacific Railroad in the shops. All the mothers in the neighborhood were ambitious for their sons, talked of their going on to college, graduating, going to medical school, dental school, law school, graduate school, set them to work early to earn their way if their fathers couldn't afford the educations their mothers wanted for them. And in this way they were already in competition with each other at fourteen and fifteen, although they didn't know that then.
He became frantic about time. He had a calendar in his room, a clock, wore a watch, became aware of seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months. The work had to be done well, but it had also to be accomplished in a given time. There was so much to do, so little time to do it in—practice the piano, go to school, work, study, be active in the Church. He had to be able to look back on a day and see what he had done with his twenty-four hours, how he had used them. Money earned and things accomplished, Boy Scout and priesthood awards and badges won became a way of measuring time. And he had a time chart on his wall, put little checks in the squares, made a new chart each month, saved the old charts in a pile because they showed what he had done, were another way to measure time. Two years on a mission, six months in the army, four years in college, four in [p.166]dental school, two in his residency, one in practice—his life had become too much an exercise in the proper use of time.
Paul listened. Behind him a steady pattern of honking came through the trees from the freeway. It was Beth. He looked at his watch. He should go. Another gull flew up the channel. Gulls worked. They searched the lake shore and the river banks for dead fish, fed on insects in the freshly plowed ground, dropped onto the streets of Provo to pick up fallen ice cream cones, parts of sandwiches, fruit, patrolled Strawberry Reservoir to consume the red entrails of cleaned fish. Gulls were heavy slow birds, never seemed to be flying, but walking, not like his pigeons. Evenings he climbed up the telephone pole at the back of their yard so that he could watch his white pigeons flying over the houses and trees. When he fed them from his hand, they circled the back yard, fluttered down to him, their white wings flashing in the twilight.
Something else had happened to him here that summer he was fourteen which helped to stop his boyhood. He became aware of his body and through it his inner self. His body had always been for sensing water, sun and air, and all of his responses were spontaneous, not observed. But lying on the ledge in the sun the days he wasn't picking fruit, he began to watch his body. He touched his arms, legs, chest, ran the flat of his hand over his new muscles, became aware finally that he was male. And at times his whole being seemed focused in his loins. Arms wrapped around his legs, he pulled tight, chin resting on his knees, watched the water, waited for a voice to explain to him the chemistry of his pounding blood.
[p.167]The boy's folklore of sex didn't help him understand puberty because for him the body was sacred, an instrument for the purposes of God and not his own, to provide temples for the spirits waiting to come to earth to be reared in Mormon homes. He had to be clean, pure; sexual sin was next in evil to the shedding of innocent blood. Sex wasn't freedom, delight, or interest, but already obligation, a topic he couldn't talk about with other boys because he had to be an example, be perfect. He turned inward on himself to watch his every emotion, which led him to discover hate, lust, vanity, jealousy, and rage, that goodness was inside, not outside. He became preoccupied with his own guilt. The Sunday School lessons, priesthood lessons, Boy Scout oath and law, all the things his mother taught him, all the commandments that hung over him like a net, fell, and he grew silent, stabbed his sins alone.
"What's the matter, Paul?" his father asked him one Sunday that summer after dinner. "Something wrong?"
"Yes, don't you feel well, Paul?" his mother said and reached over to put her hand on his forehead.
His father took him swimming one evening after that. "I thought that we might go down to that swimming hole of yours, Paul. You've been working hard out in the peaches." His father's naked body was pale in the darkness, his stomach soft, his shoulders round and stooped. After his father was in the water, Paul took off his shorts and dove in from the ledge. "This is great, son. We should do it more often." His father laughed, shouted, splashed, got up on the ledge once to run and dive in, all the time telling him how much fun he had had on the river as a boy. Once in the [p.168]darkness their bodies touched. "Sorry, son." But then under the cottonwoods in the dark water shaded from the moon, his father became silent, the only sounds the crickets and frogs, the splash of a heavy fish in the next hole. His father was silent when they got out to dry themselves with towels. They stopped at Cook's Ice Cream for malts on the way home. "Well, son, would you like another one?"
"No thanks, Dad."
"You're welcome to it."
He shook his head. They sat silent in the booth for a moment, then his father paid and they left, and his father put his hand on his shoulder as they walked to the car.
He wanted to talk to his father, ask him many questions, hear answers, but he couldn't. He couldn't admit to what he felt, to his emotions, drives, new appetites, thought that he might hurt his father's high opinion of him, sadden his father. He wanted to do and be all of those things his parents expected of him; he wanted the perfection, the godhood his mother talked about; he would sacrifice anything for her belief in that, even himself. So he couldn't talk to his father, use his father's understanding instead of his own. He couldn't let his father protect his boyhood for him, shield him for another three or four years, help him avoid the developing fierceness about his own life.
Reaching down, Paul picked up a dry branch, began to break off small pieces and flip them into the channel. He had become lonely. It was easier not to have too many friends, easier to believe in his own perfection that way. He didn't really talk to his classmates, fellows in the army, missionary companions, let them be part of him, touch him. Even with [p.169]Beth now, as much as he loved her, it was hard to talk, to tell her what was inside, what he really felt, and for the same reasons. He didn't want to hurt her or lessen her opinion of him, suggest that perhaps he had not been or was not all that she had thought, hoped, imagined. He tried very hard to be the kind of person she wanted him to be, or the kind he thought she wanted him to be. At times he had the feeling that he was an actor performing a role in a play.
After that one night his father never swam with him again, but Paul rode his bicycle down alone in the evenings that summer to fish. He fished in the darkness, had learned to fly fish, cast the big wet fly where the German brown trout came up in the shallows to feed on minnows. He bought a dip net so that he could hold the trout in the water, shine his flashlight down to see them gold and jeweled before he killed and cleaned them to take home. His mother wrapped them in wax paper and they faded white before she fried them. When he swam at night he swam quietly, head up, or floated, listened, watched the stars through the openings in the cottonwoods. He held onto the swing, the arches slowly growing shorter until the swing stopped, his feet touching the water, then let go, slipped down into the water, stayed under as long as he could. He didn't take a towel stood to let the night breeze dry his body.
Out of his desire for purity, he became preoccupied with being physically clean. He showered twice a day, polished his shoes every time he left the house, combed his hair at every minor and window, carried a toothbrush in his briefcase, changed his shirts twice a day, liked to wear fresh ironed shirts. So in this way he lost all delight in his body. He distrusted it, became [p.170]uneasy because of what he now felt, and so after fourteen he had no memory of his body being wonderful. If he hadn't had to work after school, if he'd had time for football, basketball, wrestling, sensing his body hot, sweaty, breathless, if he'd known that he was like other boys, it would have been better. He didn't follow professional or college sports now, but when he had a chance he went to the Palo Alto High School games and meets, tried to imagine himself passing, catching the ball, shooting baskets, running, swimming, see himself, live it all vicariously. He wanted to find his body, take back the responsibility for his own life so that he could begin to love out of himself.
Beth was honking again. Paul flipped the last piece of the branch into the channel, turned, and walked back through the trees and out into the sun, stopping in the hay stubble to pull the cheat grass from his socks. Beth sat in the Buick with the front doors open when he got back to the rest area. Lisa had her bottle, Richard played with a string of plastic blocks on the mattress, and Valerie lay on her stomach coloring. Beth put her book down, got out and walked to the fountain and dampened a clean diaper. "You look hot, darling," she said and handed it to him. He wiped off his sweaty face, neck, and hands. Beth had emptied the litter bag, wiped the fingerprints off the inside of the windows, straightened up the back of the stationwagon, put on new makeup and combed her hair. "Your shoes are dusty." He wiped them off and she took the diaper back. He put on the clean shirt she had gotten out for him, tipping the sideview mirror back to comb his hair.
"Your mother will be wondering where we are. [p.171]She will think that we had an accident."
"Yes, I guess she will. I'm sorry that I took so long, dear."
He tightened his seat belt, pulled out to the freeway, then nosed into the heavy late-afternoon traffic. They crossed the river, and the Provo exit sign came up. Going up on the off ramp he saw the tops of trees and houses, felt the old surge of joy he always felt at coming home, remembered how he had felt when he returned from his mission and the army, how fiercely he loved home. They came off the loop and drove up Center Street past all of the new service stations built for the freeway traffic and then past Pioneer Park, stopping at the semaphore on Fifth West. Richard climbed over into the front seat. "Grandmaw," he said, "Grandmaw."
Paul turned right on Third West, then left on Second South. Except that the old Provo High School building had been torn down, the neighborhood hadn't changed; all of the new houses and construction were in the northeast part of town. The corner telephone pole had always been the goal for their games of grey wolf and kick the can. "There's Mark sitting on the porch with your mother and father. I wonder where Darlene is?" Beth started to wave.
"She's probably got plenty to do if they're getting married Wednesday, honey," he said.
His mother, father, and Mark started down the steps waving as he turned into the driveway.
After the welcome was over and his mother and Beth had taken the children into the house to bathe them and get them ready for supper and bed, he, Mark, and his father unloaded the Buick. Later, standing on the front porch alone with Mark, he asked him [p.172]if he wanted to go fishing up on Strawberry one evening before he got married. "Sure," Mark said, "I've been planning on it just like every summer and so has Dad."
"Good." He still had his old spinning outfit, although he had bought new hip boots. In the darkness he would stand in the thigh-deep cool water, cast out into the lake, slowly troll the fly in, every second expecting a strike, see the beautiful silver rainbow trout leap shining in the moonlight. Mark and his father would kill the trout they caught, clean them, leave the entrails on the shore for the patrolling gulls the next morning. But he wouldn't. After he had fought a trout, felt the movement and pull, the heavy pulse coming up through the line and rod into his hand and arm, seen it in front of him in the water, he would free it. He would hold the rainbow in the net to see it shining rose-silver, pull the hook from the lip, then release it, see the trout hover then flash back into the deep water, vanish.

| 8.4°C Belfast
When Mauricio Pochettino shows up on Pep Guardiola's patch today, there will be a new feeling between the two men. No longer on either side of Barcelona's David and Goliath dynamic, with no great imbalance and no inferiority complex.
Pochettino will not arrive at the Etihad Stadium as a plucky upstart, as he did at the Nou Camp with Espanyol. He will arrive as an equal, a threat, not just to City over 90 minutes but to their hopes of playing Champions League football next season.
This weekend, in this relationship, Pochettino has the upper hand. Spurs are three points ahead of City in the table and are playing far, far better. Pochettino has won his last three matches against City, including October's 2-0 win at White Hart Lane. It would be no surprise to see Spurs overturn City again today.
It was a surprise the first time Pochettino's team beat Guardiola's. It was February 2009, he had just taken over Espanyol and their trip to the Nou Camp was hailed as 'fighting King Kong with a teaspoon'. But Pochettino told his players they had to believe that they could win and they did, 2-1.
"Did it feel impossible? No," Pochettino recalled this week. "We were on the bottom, and they were on the top. They had Lionel Messi, Thierry Henry, Andres Iniesta and Xavi. We had 11 youngsters from the academy. But one thing was important: belief. We believed."
That belief was not enough to bridge the gap between the two sides. There is a very clear hierarchy in that city and the two clubs existed at opposite ends of it.
The relationship between City and Spurs is different. Pochettino proudly said that his side was traditionally a bigger club. "Historically, Tottenham was bigger than City," he said. "(In terms of) fans, Tottenham is bigger."
But everything changed in 2008 with the Abu Dhabi takeover which, after a few years of close competition, catapulted City ahead of Spurs. Even if it has not been clear on the pitch this season, in a financial sense the two clubs are playing a different game.
"City is a different philosophy," Pochettino said. "Not a different level, but in a completely different way than Tottenham. It is too difficult to measure if there is a gap or not because we are in a completely different world."
Those are the different worlds that City and Tottenham exist in now. That is why City have the most sought-after coach in the world, and Tottenham took their manager from Southampton. Or why City's team cost hundreds of millions of pounds to assemble, and Tottenham's did not.
Some managers just want to win matches but these two are in pursuit of something more. Guardiola touched perfection with Barcelona and nearly did so at Bayern Munich.
But over the last month Spurs have looked closer than ever to getting there, winning six straight in the league. Spurs are further along their path to perfection than City are along theirs. For all the money that has been spent at the Etihad, Guardiola does not have the right players. Pochettino has every piece in place. It may not be enough to take Spurs to the title, but they should have a better swing at it than they did last year.
Winning the league this season would be a remarkable culmination of Pochettino's work at Spurs, his three-year pursuit of perfection. It would also be the start of Pochettino wining major titles.
Since that first league meeting eight years ago, Guardiola has won the lot, over and over and over again. "Guardiola has won 21 titles," Pochettino said, with self-deprecation. "And still me with none. You cannot compare me with him." Maybe not yet, but he arrives today to look Guardiola in the eye.

Milton residents contacted Logan Airport 21,796 times last year to complain about loss of sleep, peace and quiet from jets coming in to land on a runway 8 miles away. It's a significant number, yet the Federal Aviation Administration and the Massachusetts Port Authority do not consider jet noise over Milton to be "significant" under federal guidelines.
Residents say if the FAA and Massport officials want to help, they should start by recognizing the severity of the problem.
Computer models produced by the agencies show that "significant noise," defined as noise "incompatible with residential land use," reaches only as far as South Boston and the Harbor Islands to the airport's south, stopping well short of Milton and Hull.
The metric that underlies those maps – called a day-night noise level – continues to be widely accepted more than 50 years after it was developed. The metric is frustrating to Milton and Hull residents who say it fails to capture their experience and leads aviation decision-makers to concentrate air traffic over "sacrificial communities," like theirs, in order to limit the total number of people affected by noise.
In particular, residents say, the metric ignores the plight of neighborhoods that face long periods of near constant noise when a certain runway is in use, followed by long periods of quiet after air traffic controllers switch to another runway. They also point to another map, this one produced by the U.S. Department of Transportation, indicating that sections of Milton have more transportation-related noise than parts of downtown Boston.
"What they're not seeing is the people they are affecting," said Andrew Schmidt, chairman of Milton's airplane noise advisory committee. "We're affected 18 to 24 hours a day sometimes."
Saturday's story: Miles from any airport, Milton and Hull residents fight onslaught of jet noise
U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch, who has pressed federal aviation officials to do something about the noise, said the FAA is still focused on mitigating noise for communities directly next to airports and has been slow to recognize the impact of jet noise on far-flung neighborhoods after the implementation of RNAV, part of a federal air traffic modernization effort known as NextGen.
"When flights were coming from around the compass, so to speak, I think it was probably appropriate for them to focus on the immediate neighbors of the airport," Lynch said. "The problem now is we have this RNAV/NextGen system that puts a vector of very high traffic that extends far out from the airport. I think they need to change their approach based on the new technology they've adopted."
Flavio Leo, director of aviation planning and strategy for Massport, insists that the agency understands airplane noise is a problem in communities like Milton and is working to do something about it.
Possible solutions
Last year, federal aviation officials under pressure from lawmakers acknowledged that RNAV has affected certain communities by concentrating previously widespread flight paths into a single narrow corridor. Under an agreement reached between Massport and the FAA last year, a team of MIT researchers at the International Center for Air Transportation is now looking at things that airlines, pilots and federal air traffic controllers could do to give some of those communities a break.
For Hull, that could include something many residents have called for: Using the precision of RNAV to spread flight paths out again, so no single neighborhood gets all of them. R. John Hansman, the MIT professor leading the effort, said that could be an option for departing flights that torment some neighborhoods in Hull, particularly near Allerton Hill.
Another promising possibility, Hansman said, would involve changing how pilots use thrust after takeoff to take advantage of today's quieter engines. That option could be among the first that researchers recommend to the FAA.
But Hansman said there are fewer options for the arriving jets that fly over Milton because of safety concerns related to the difficulty of landing an aircraft. The MIT team is looking at the possibility of a curved path that would take planes over Boston Harbor instead of Milton. But Hansman said such landing procedures are "tricky" and would require pilot training and equipment that not all airlines have in place. A similar procedure is used at JFK Airport in New York, but only by one airline, JetBlue.
The MIT researchers also looked at the possibility of having arriving flights follow the path of Interstate 93 on the theory that the highway noise would mask the airplane noise, but Hansman said researchers found that jet noise would radiate across a wider area than traffic sounds and make things worse. A steeper landing procedure was considered by researchers but raised "significant safety concerns," he said.
'A regional conversation'
Cindy Christiansen, a statistician who represents Milton on the Massport Community Advisory Committee, and others in Milton and Hull say they're worried researchers are missing possible solutions because they're not seeing how the introduction of RNAV changed airplane noise in Milton – something that residents say they've experienced on the ground but which Hansman says he hasn't seen in the data.
"They're not looking at what they need to look at," Christiansen said.
Meanwhile, Milton and Hull residents are pushing on other fronts, and making some progress. Earlier this month, a Massport representative told a meeting of the Massport Community Advisory Committee that the agency would encourage airlines that fly Airbus A320s, a family of jets that make a distinctive "whining" noise, to install a device that helps dampen the noise.
"Let's get somewhere together on this," Elizabeth Dello Russo Becker, Massport's director of community relations, told the group, which is chaired by Hull resident David Carlon.
There is one other option that's not part of the ongoing study, but it would require some 30 cities and towns from Beverly to Braintree to get on the same page. Leo, the Massport official, said the FAA does have some leeway in choosing runways when wind, weather and other considerations allow. At those times, the FAA could choose runways that would give noise-battered communities a break.
To do that, however, cities and towns would have to come up with a plan to give the FAA some guidance. Some communities would have to agree to have more flights over them in order to give other communities some relief.
A now-defunct group call the Boston Logan Community Advisory Committee tried to do just that, but representatives were unable to reach an agreement. As part of a 10-year noise study required by the FAA when it approved construction of Logan's newest runway in 2002, officials tested three potential "runway use programs" from 2014 through 2016, but the committee never came up with a final recommendation and the study was completed earlier this year without one.
Leo said the option is still on the table, but only if the communities around Boston can come to an agreement.
"It's a regional conversation," he said. "The planes have to go somewhere."

Students are well known for living on a small income and counting the pennies to afford the stereotypical baked beans on toast but recent research suggests students are facing increasingly harder times.
Research from the Bank of Scotland found that 15% of students didn't have enough money to afford their basic living expenses. A further 42% of people at Universities in Scotland were only just managing to pay their monthly living costs.
Any unexpected event which required disposable income would have been impossible for the majority of students.
Leaving University with Debt
After successfully completing and leaving University in 2012, students can often be guaranteed their qualification coupled with a large debt to repay. Only 21% of students expect to finish University with no debt.
The Union TUC has claimed that employment opportunities for young people have not been so disastrous since 1994.
While job hunting is difficult, it can become an added pressure for young people who also have unsecured debt to repay. Almost 40% of students completing their studies in Scotland will have more than £10,000 of unsecured debt to deal with.
In Scotland tuition fees are generally paid by the Government, which means the debt being accrued is not to the University, but to unsecured lenders like banks and credit card agencies.
Advice for Student Debt
Unsecured debt problems are one of the main reasons for stress. Money can cause many restless nights sleep and social problems with friends and family. Seek help before it becomes too severe.
You can get help and advice from your local Citizens Advice Bureau face to face or you can telephone Debt Support Trust on 0800 085 0226 for confidential money advice.

Family time is set to arrive on Bigg Boss 13. The ten contestants currently part of the Salman Khan-hosted reality will finally get to welcome their loved ones into the house.
Shared a source with indianexpress.com, "Families will be visiting the Bigg Boss 13 house soon. They will mostly enter the house as part of the freeze task. At intervals, one member will enter and communicate with the housemates, who will be asked to not move or speak. There are high chances that some of them will get to interact with their families."
The first day, audience will get to see the entry of actor Krushna Abhishek, who will reportedly also take his kids along, to meet sister Arti Singh. Also, Mahira Sharma's mother Saniya Sharma, Shehnaaz Gill's father Santokh Singh, Vishal Aaditya Singh's brother Kunal Singh and Shefali Jariwala's actor-husband Parag Tyagi will meet their loved ones.
The next day, Sidharth Shukla's mother Rita Shukla, Paras Chhabra's mother Ruby Chhabra, Madhurima Tuli's mother Vijaya Tuli, Asim Riaz's brother Umar Riaz and Rashami Desai's brother Gaurav Desai will make an entry in the house.
While Shefali Jariwala, Vishal Aditya Singh and Madhurima Tuli entered the show later as wild cards, the rest seven contestants have been in the house for more than hundred days now. Having not met their families for so long, fans can definitely expect an emotional time on the show.
Family week has always been an important part of Bigg Boss. In every season, the dynamics between contestants see a vast change after they get pearls of wisdom from their family members. Apart from some really emotional moments, the family visiting the house add a lot of happiness to the show. Having watched the show as audience members, they also share some important inputs to better the game. And not to forget, they also take the opportunity to give an earful to their loved one's competitors.
The family week episodes will mostly air on Thursday and Friday.

The slowdown is good because it should avoid a more severe correction
By James Langton | January 16, 2012 17:10
The latest data on Canada's housing market shows that conditions are clearly softening, and that's a good thing economists say. "There are clear signs that the Canadian housing market is softening," says CIBC World Markets in a new report. It notes that while sales activity rose by 1.8% in December 2011, the number of new listed homes roses by 3%, leading to a decline in the national sales to new listing ratio from 55.5 to 54.8. "Clearly this is still a well-balanced picture, but the trend is of a slowing market," it says.
Additionally, home prices were up just 0.9% (year over year) in December, which was the slowest pace since October 2010, CIBC reports. And, it says it's probable that the first year-over-year decline in prices since the recession will occur in the first quarter of 2012.
This view is echoed by other firms. "The picture painted by the latest statistics on Canadian housing continues to be consistent with an overall market that is showing moderation on nearly all fronts," notes RBC Economics. "We expect that widespread moderation will be sustained in 2012." It calls for minimal growth in both home resales (0.4%) and prices (0.5%) overall in the year ahead.
However, TD Economics cautions that 2012 "is likely going to be a bumpy ride... The first half of this year will likely see housing activity pullback further from its current level alongside both global and domestic economic conditions, while the second half of the year is likely to see some improvement as those same factors improve."
This slowing is good, economists say, because it should avoid a more severe correction, as housing price increases were still outpacing incomes in 2011. BMO Capital Markets, which also sees signs of moderation in the market, says, "Debt‐heavy households are expected to curb their appetite for mortgages, pointing to some further moderation in housing in 2012. We look for both sales and prices to be roughly flat this year. That could be just what the policy doctor ordered, allowing incomes to catch up to higher prices."
"Indeed a softening in house prices in the next year or so is a necessary condition for... a soft-landing scenario," adds CIBC. "If the pace of house price increases accelerates during that period, then a year or two from now the likelihood of a violent price correction will be higher than it is now."
TD suggests that low interest rates should help prop up the housing market in 2012. "However, this will only delay the inevitable as the normalization in interest rates in 2013, which will lead to a more sustained correction in both sales and prices," it says.
"While we do not see house prices crashing, we do believe that house prices in Canada will level off in the near future and might start trending downward modestly," CIBC says. "Further out, the most likely scenario is that the eventual increase in interest rates will lead to a decline in prices (probably in the magnitude of 10%-15%). But given the current balanced affordability position, the more significant adjustment will be in housing market fundamentals that are likely to catch up with prices in the coming years — paving the way for a healthier housing market later in the decade."

On the contrary, small portions of butter and healthy body. Scientists from tufts University have proved that the talk about the dangers from butter – only speculation. In the study they analysed information about health status and diet of 6.5 million people from 15 countries. The results tells the newspaper The Times of India.
Almost 30 thousand people during the study died, and another 10 thousand doctors have identified diseases of the cardiovascular system, 24 thousand – diabetes of the second type. Scientists have found that people with diseases of the cardiovascular system fear of butter is not necessary. There are more harmful products that we don't pay attention, using them daily.
Note that every day there are sandwiches, scientists and doctors do not recommend. An excess of carbohydrates and fats significantly increases the likelihood of obesity and diabetes. People who care about their health, scientists suggest substituting butter with margarine, soy or olive oil. In General small portions of butter on health does not affect.

"Go To Joseph" by Br Mickey McGrath
St. Joseph has been an inspiration to many and is perhaps one of the most beloved saints among Catholics today. But how much do we really know about Joseph? His appearance in the Bible is relatively brief and rather obscure, leaving us with little knowledge of who he was and what drove his devotion to and unwavering trust in the Lord. Go to Joseph is an exploration of this man, this human being that so many of us strive to be like, especially in times of conflict and doubt. Originating from the stunning illustrations of St. Joseph by Brother Michael O'Neill McGrath, sixteen different authors have come together to bring you twenty chapters exploring different aspects of St. Joseph's life as a husband, a father, a craftsman, a traveler, a guide, and much more. Additionally, various works of art are explained in Brother Mickey's own words connecting the dots as to how St. Joseph inspired him to create these beautiful images. With this book, let St. Joseph's strength and grace become part of your own life and discover how he has become a role model for the universal Church. Hardcover with dust-jacket

"Mr. Robot" actor Rami Malek recently sat down for a conversation with Robert Downey Jr. for Interview magazine's August issue. They chatted about their budding friendship, New York, and what to expect in the second season of the USA show.
Malek has become a well-known face in Hollywood after he was cast by show creator Sam Esmail. Once "Mr. Robot" premiered last summer, Malek quickly gained acclaim from big-name admirers, including "Iron Man" star Robert Downey Jr, who even visited him on set. Of the experience, Malek reflected, "That was amazing. You turned me into a hero when you came to set. I'm not kidding. They were like, 'You know him?' 'How do you know him?' I knew it was very cool to know you, but the world started paying me more attention on that day on set. Maybe I elaborated on our relationship too much and started fantasizing it was more than it actually was. No, I just told them how close we were and that we hang out, we celebrate holidays together, we watch movies together, all of which is true!"
On "Mr. Robot," Malek plays a hacker named Elliot Alderson living in New York. When asked if he felt at home in Manhattan, Malek told Downey Jr., "I've always felt like I belong there. Growing up [in L.A.] and having a family here was something that I, of course, adored because I was surrounded with that unit. But from the first time I went over there, I felt connected to the way things move, the pace, the ability to strike up a conversation with anybody. I know that people often say it's hard to talk to people in New York. I think it's harder sometimes in L.A., but I like the neighborhood vibe, I like getting on the train and going anywhere with that type of speed, having everything at my disposal. The culture, the pace, all of it."
As for his character in the second season, which premieres July 13, Malek revealed, "This year, he's coming to terms with this reality of having this kind of dual existence, knowing that Mr. Robot's existence is real. That creates an entirely different focus for him. I think he's in a really guilty place when you first see him. As much as I thought that I had this guy down and understood him and was living in his skin, I realized there was so much of him that I had yet to discover."

In March, it's common to introduce an opinion of a player or performance by reminding readers that it's very early, spring training statistics don't count and the real games are about a month away from reality.
With New York Yankees pitcher Masahiro Tanaka, that edict isn't just necessary—it's vital.
In Tampa, Fla., Tanaka's debut was a big deal. In his home country of Japan, a scheduled two-inning outing was a reason to celebrate and watch Grapefruit League baseball in the middle of the night. Clearly, Tanaka's spring training debut didn't profile as your ordinary build-up to the regular season.
After spending $175 million—including a $20 million posting fee—to procure the services of Japan's top pitcher, the Yankees are banking on big things from the 25-year-old righty.
Yet as Ken Davidoff explains in the New York Post, the transformation from Japan to Major League Baseball won't be easy, even for a pitcher that posted a 24-0 record last season. For his part, Tanaka seems to understand the feeling-out process that spring training will be for him this year.
"I understand that there's going to be a lot of attention on the results, the numbers, on how I do out there," Tanaka said through an interpreter. "For me, now looking at it, I just want to go out there and pitch my style out there and see how it is on the mound."
In order to make the leap from the 85-win, third-place finish of 2013, the Yankees will need a productive year from Tanaka in the starting rotation.
While a mediocre offense was to blame for what ailed New York last summer, Yankees starters pitched to a 4.08 ERA, per ESPN. That mark placed them in the bottom half of the American League ranks.
How did Tanaka fare during his first game in a Yankees uniform? Here are updates and takeaways from the debut of New York's newest star.
Unlike most Grapefruit League appearances by expensive, well-known starting pitchers, Tanaka wasn't the first Yankees starter to take the mound against the Philadelphia Phillies.
In fact, he was the third member of New York's rotation to toe the rubber, following CC Sabathia and Hiroki Kuroda. When the 2014 season begins, he'll likely be placed after those two starters in Yankees manager Joe Girardi's rotation.
During the first four innings of Tanaka's debut game, fans and media members became restless as baseball awaited his first pitch with increased anticipation. MLB Network's broadcast—a simulcast of the YES Network broadcast—focused on Tanaka's eventual appearance throughout the early innings.
When the Japanese star began tossing a baseball in the bullpen in the third inning, a soft roar took over the crowd, and several media members made their way to watch the main attraction stretch his arm out.
If the excitement of Tanaka's first appearance rivals anything to come in his first season, Major League Baseball and the Yankees are poised to roll out a must-see event every fifth day.
Style, Not Results
When the fifth inning arrived, Tanaka toed the rubber in America for the first time in an organized baseball game. Although this was technically a relief outing, allowing Tanaka to start a clean inning—without anyone on base or outs already recorded—afforded him the chance to treat the outing as if it was the first inning of a game.
Following Tanaka's cue, based on the thoughts he shared with Davidoff, let's focus on how he looked before dissecting the actual results against Philadelphia's Grapefruit League lineup.
From a delivery perspective, Tanaka looked the part. Sporting the trademark stutter step featured by so many Japanese pitchers—including teammate Hiroki Kuroda—a fluid, compact delivery accompanied his pitches.
In his first inning, fastballs were up in the zone, including a fastball on the outside part of the place that resulted in an inning-ending strikeout. In Japan, it's likely that fastballs in the mid-90s could generate empty swings, even if above the knees.
As the spring moves along, keep an eye on Tanaka's location. In his first start, he lived higher in the zone than what's needed to succeed in the AL East.
From the moment Tanaka surfaced on baseball's radar, people have raved about his splitter. During the broadcast, YES Network's Michael Kay and Ken Singleton opined about how effective it could be in the majors. Despite the accolades, though, it wasn't on display during the fifth inning.
In the sixth, the splitter clearly emerged. With two strikes on Phillies outfielder Ben Revere, Tanaka launched a nasty, biting and diving splitter low and away. Predictably, Revere swung and missed at the excellent offering.
For many fans, this is all that matters.
After allowing a single to center field to Philles first baseman Darin Ruf, Tanaka settled down during his first inning of work. While the box score may show a fly ball caught to left field, the contact made against him wasn't particularly hard or dangerous.
He recorded a strikeout to end the fifth inning with a fastball up in the zone, touching the outside corner.
In the sixth, Tanaka was even more impressive, generating strikeouts in two distinct ways: a devastating splitter and a chest-high fastball.
The splitter, used to fool Revere, was as good as advertised by the Yankees and scouts.
The fastball, although only hitting 89 mph on the radar gun, was high enough to prey on Domonic Brown's weakness and located well enough to get under his hands. Unlike many high fastballs that are deposited into the seats, this was high enough to either classify as a waste pitch, induce a swing and miss or generate weak contact.
MLB.com's Bryan Hoch got Tanaka's personal take on his Yankees debut and what he experienced and felt out there on the mound:
Tanaka's final stat line against Philadelphia: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 SO, 0 BB
Aesthetically, Tanaka looks and pitches like Hiroki Kuroda. While that comparison may not place him in a stratosphere of baseball's top pitchers, it's a good place to start a career.
Although his velocity wasn't overpowering, watching Tanaka spot his fastball around the plate was impressive. Clearly, this is a pitcher with an idea of how to move the ball around, work the corners and confuse hitters by using all quadrants of the strike zone.
It's early to jump to conclusions, especially for a pitcher who has now thrown just two innings in America, but it's clear that this outing was a success for Tanaka in both style and substance.
Over the next few starts, keep an eye on Tanaka's location and adjustments made against him. For now, the $155 million arm looks to be as advertised: potentially excellent.

We'll Call This Extreme Golfing (Video)
Total Pro Sports – For those who think golf is a boring sport, they may want to consider spicing it up just a bit. All it takes is a tee, a golf club, a ball, and a friend's bare ass.
It may not deliver the same eye candy as a hot chick performing accuracy tricks in a skirt, but what it lacks in terms of sex appeal, it makes up for in hilarity.
One guy lays flat on his stomach, pants down, and tee in ass. Keeping steady, the ball is placed on the tee and is set for takeoff. Now it is up to the person with the club in their hand to do the rest, but one inch can mean the difference between a perfect drive down the middle of the fairway or a nasty bruise on your friend's ass. Judging by the pictures taken of the aftermath, it appears as though this guy missed by more than just an inch.
I'd be willing to bet that not even an Anthony Kim drive would cause such a large bruise, however, things likely would have turned out much worse had it been Charles Barkley's turn to tee one up.

In this text, credit without Credit Bureau Switzerland should be synonymous with Swiss credit without Credit Bureau, because nothing else is at stake. As a result, many loan seekers who have not met any payment obligations in the past have the problem that negative entries can result in the Credit Bureau. This in turn leads to creditworthiness being damaged and most banks decline when someone with a negative Credit Bureau requests a loan. It is usually no matter how high the income is – the negative Credit Bureau inevitably leads to a rejection. If you still need credit in such a situation, you can try your luck with a loan without Credit Bureau offered by Agree Bank.
For a loan without Credit Bureau from Switzerland, the content of Credit Bureau does not play any role in connection with loan processing. Credit Bureau is not interested, the only thing that is interesting and decisive for the loan decision for Swiss credit without Credit Bureau is the income and the associated employment relationship. Customers at the Agree Bank are welcome German officials who use the Credit Bureau-free loan from Switzerland to be able to afford a small side loan that German banks never find out about. But other people who earn good money are also welcome customers at Agree Bank.
Credit without Credit Bureau Switzerland can only be obtained through the credit intermediary
You cannot apply for a loan without Credit Bureau directly from Agree Bank. If you want such a loan, you have to contact a credit agency. Large and successful credit agencies that operate on the German market include Lite Lender and Capital lender. Loan seekers can submit a loan application for a loan without Credit Bureau Switzerland directly via the websites of the respective companies.
Processing is quick and the money is paid out 100 percent. The only downside is that fees are charged for the mediation, which must then be paid later along with the rate. That's why the Swiss loan will always be a little more expensive than a loan from a German bank.
