Warrior Kings---Rutherford:
"I get to be weighed and measured without judgment by adult men against what's in my head versus the reality around me. I have a safe place to be given the dignity of self-discovery. I get to be in love with my wife and children in meaningful ways. I am given ways to bring value to the world around me."

O.D.B---STAUDER:
What I consistently get from my men's team is two-fold:
1) A context check-up when I am struggling in a particular area of my life that I feel is important and not going well...
2) A reality check when I am believing my own bullshit.

"What being on a MENS' team means to me"
My circle of Men is the place where I define myself as a man among men, and a man in the world. My Men's Team keeps me aware that I have ultimate say over who I am and how I want to show up when I face life head-on. They remind me that it is always my choice, and that the one thing a warrior has control over is where he chooses to focus his attention. What truly defines my power is how aware I am of my choices in difficult situations. My Team supports that man until I become him.

HOW MAN COPE WITH LOSS
How Men Cope
DO YOU KNOW HOW TO GRIEVE?
What grief is like for men, the inevitable question is “What do we do about it?” Most men deal with grief using the same strategies that they use to deal with everything else, by controlling their emotions and relying on their own internal strengths. Men therefore do not respond well when asked to do “grief work” which typically involves talking about the emotions associated with the loss.

THE ART
10 Cool Features Hiding in iOS 7
1. Design-Conscious Backgrounds
Are you among the many who don’t like the aesthetic look of iOS 7? Part of the problem may be that you’re using a photo as your wallpaper – the real world seems to clash with the operating system.
If you want to give your background more of a Jony Ive feel, open the Settings app, then tap Wallpapers & Brightness. Give one of the minimalist, solid color gradient backgrounds a try – they look great on the new iPhone 5C. Or maybe try one of the funky kaleidoscopic new iPad backgrounds, if your retinas can handle that much color.
2. Correct Siri’s Pronounciation
Apple digital assistant Siri is great at a lot of things – she can tell you the score of the big game, offer movie times at your local theater and even make reservations at restaurants for you through OpenTable. One thing she’s terrible at, though, is pronouncing long names.
At least now there’s a way to correct her pronunciation. The next time Siri garbles a name, tell her “that’s not how you pronounce that.” You’ll be given alternative pronunciations to choose from, and Siri will remember your pick.
Want to give Siri’s pronounciation an International flair? Open the Settings app, then tap Generals. Tap Siri and you’ll be given a number of new options for your digital assistant. You can choose a language and accent (English is available in United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia flavors) and even give Siri a sex change if you’d like.
3. Built-in Level
Is that picture on the wall really level? Now there’s an easy way to check – iOS 7 has a built-in bubble level function. To activate it, just open your phone’s Compass app, then swipe to the right.

REAL MAN DECORATING IDEAS
SLIDE SHOW FROM AWARD-WINNING CONTRACTOR PAUL FORD
100 Must-Read Books: The Essential Man’s Library
There are the books you read, and then there are the books that change your life. We can all look back on the books that have shaped our perspective on politics, religion, money, and love. Some will even become a source of inspiration for the rest of your life. From a seemingly infinite list of books of anecdotal or literal merit, we have narrowed down the top 100 books that have shaped the lives of individual men while also helping define broader cultural ideas of what it means to be a man.
Whether it be a book on adventure, war, or manners, there is so much to learn about life’s great questions from these gems. Let us know in the comments which of these you loved, hated, and the books that meant a lot to you and should have made the list (you can even get really indignant about your favorite book). And without further ado, this is our list.
