PARIS — Sloane Stephens enters Saturday's French Open final against No. 1 Simona Halep with a 6-0 record in tournament title matches.
"I'm pretty calm on the court all the time, I'd say. I don't get too up, too down," Stephens said. "I think that it has helped me."
Halep, meanwhile, is 0-3 with a Grand Slam trophy at stake.
"Hopefully," Halep said, "tomorrow, I will be better than previous ones."
Here's something the women who meet for the championship at Roland Garros do have in common: They rarely seem to let a point end quickly. Halep, a 26-year-old Romanian, and the 10th-seeded Stephens, a 25-year-old American, are among the best there is right now at using instinct and speed to track down tough-to-reach shots and force opponents to hit another.
And that's not to say they're merely content to push balls back. Both have learned to pick the right spots to be aggressive and are quite capable of switching from retriever to attacker in a blink.
"They obviously both move really well. It's going to be who can stay in the point the longest," said Madison Keys, who lost to Stephens in the French Open semifinals Thursday and in the U.S. Open final last September.
"Both of them are similar in the sense that if you can get them off of the baseline, then you can open up the court," Keys said. "I think if you try to go angles with them, you're going to be the one that's running — and not like it."
That matchup could make for long, riveting exchanges. Neither finalist ever seems willing to concede she's out of a point.
Or, as they've shown in this tournament, a match.
Stephens was two points from defeat in the third round against Camila Giorgi of Italy, before coming back to win 8-6 in the third set.
"There were a couple matches where she was probably like, 'Oh, my God,' right?" said Stephens' coach, Kamau Murray. "And I think when you make it out of that, you build a little bit of confidence. But she did a great job of not getting overconfident."
Halep began as poorly as could be, falling into a 5-0 hole in the first set of her first-round match against Alison Riske of the U.S., before coming back to win.
Halep dropped the opening set of her quarterfinal against two-time major champion Angelique Kerber. But Halep turned that one around, too, and pointed her right index finger at her temple afterward, as if to let the world know what allowed her to win that day.
"She deals much better with pressure. The fact that she became No. 1 has given her a different dimension, a different stature. She really deals with things better. Psychologically, she's also much better. ... And now she wants to win a Grand Slam. And now she says it," said 1978 French Open champion Virginia Ruzici, who is Halep's manager and the only woman from Romania to collect a major title. "Before, she didn't dare say it. Now she says it: 'I want to win a Grand Slam.'"
There certainly have been chances already.
Halep, 16-14 overall in tour finals, has lost twice at that stage at the French Open, to Maria Sharapova in 2014, then to Jelena Ostapenko after leading by a set and 3-0 in the second a year ago. Her third defeat with a major title on the line came against Caroline Wozniacki at the Australian Open in January.
"Well, for sure, I'm a little bit different because I have more experience. I'm more relaxed about this situation," Halep said, sounding convinced of her words as they hung in the air, until she added this: "But you never know. Every match is different."
She is 5-2 against Stephens, including winning their past four matches.
But Stephens has grown as a player thanks to two particularly trying stretches.
One was her 11-month absence with a foot injury; she had surgery in January 2017. The other was an eight-match losing streak that began right after she won her first major trophy at last year's U.S. Open and included a first-round exit at this year's Australian Open.
"I have matured a little bit and have recognized the opportunities when they have been presented," Stephens said. "I think the most important thing is that I have taken those opportunities and done a lot with them."

There is much to be gained from being a member of a Peer to Peer group, where you regularly meet with peers and share a wealth of knowledge, skills and opinions. One of the benefits is access to regular expert speakers, who can really give you a boost in their specialist areas. In Bubble Chamber's most recent monthly meet-up of social enterprise CEOs, we were treated to a workshop with Damian Culhane, an experienced coach who is an expert in negotiation, among other business skills.
Who running a social enterprise doesn't have to negotiate on an almost daily basis, and who couldn't do with fresh ideas and knowledge on how to do it better? If you've ever ended up with a deal that wasn't what you'd hoped for, either in work or personal life, you can hopefully gain something from what we learned during the day.
The main takeaways were:
– the need for full preparation for any negotiation
– going in with the right attitude
– having and articulating a clear rationale for the benefits you are presenting
– the importance of a Win/Win scenario
– the need to use your values and develop long-term relationships
Preparation is about both knowing who you are dealing with and what their needs are likely to be and being absolutely clear on what you want from the situation yourself. Clarity is what we are all about at Bubble Chamber, so this immediately rang true. Damian described a number of techniques you can use to ensure you have considered all angles. It's key to be absolutely clear on what your opening gambit is and what your fallback position should be (the point at which it no longer works for you and where you have to be prepared to walk away).
And then it's important to have trade-offs up your sleeve (so, if for instance you can't get those on the other side of the table to accept the price you want, you can do a deal on other areas – timing, quantity etc). An example would be, if you can't quite get your optimum price, you can give way a bit on that but increase the quantity they order. Having solid reasons for why you're asking what you are is part of the prep.
Attitude takes us into a whole other, and potentially more interesting, area as it's fundamentally about psychology, both yours and that of those you're negotiating with. A basic model that Damian communicated was that you need to have a clear focus on what you want – go in with an end result in mind and don't allow your underlying assumptions and beliefs to scupper you.
We all have thoughts and feelings about ourselves that can be either fruitful or disastrous. No matter how successful we are, we can harbour hidden beliefs, such as the feeling that really we're not that good. If we allow these unconscious assumptions to dominate (which they will if we are not aware of them), they will dictate the outcome. If you go in to a negotiation believing, even deep down, that you're not actually that good at negotiating, the result will be inevitable.
It's important not to deny those feelings – rather we should be fully aware of what drives us personally – but we must focus completely on the end result we want or they will take over.
Win/Win, making decisions based on your values and putting long-term relationships over short-term gains are all key messages we promote at Bubble Chamber and are also key to effective negotiating. Get an introduction to our Core Habits of Enterprise in this video from our learning curriculum.

My library manager said I'm spending too much time in our social media spaces. How much time is too much time?
Labels: management, questions from the floor, social media, social media in libraries, supporting staff, work related · Posted by tosca at 10:35 PM
Query: My library manager said I'm spending too much time in our social media spaces. How much time is too much time?
Short answer: How long is a piece of string?
I clear every social media post through my immediate manager - is this normal?
Labels: management, questions from the floor, social media, social media in libraries, trust, work related · Posted by tosca at 1:05 PM
Query: I clear every social media post through my immediate manager - is this normal?
Short answer: Absolutely, it's normal - if your manager doesn't trust you
More thoughtful answer: Is it that your manager doesn't trust you in particular? If that's the case, why did they bother to hire someone to deliberately facilitate those spaces? Why not do it themselves, instead, and cut out the middle man, i.e. you? Or do they not trust social media in general? If that's the case, why is your library using social media at all?
When you ask your staff to clear every single blog post, Facebook page update, tweet, etc. through you, what you are really saying is "I don't trust you." You're doing your staff a disservice. Seriously. You may not mean to do it, but you're killing your streams - and your staff - with conservative fear. Your staff need to be able to post and engage in a way that is meaningful and deliberately invites feedback, and they need to be able to do it free of your fear. What you've accomplished, instead, is a surefire way of making them doubt themselves, second guess everything, and to post timidly. If that wasn't your intent, I'd suggest changing that as soon as possible.
I read somewhere once, years ago, that "Libraries are dangerous." I'm not sure I believe that of NZ libraries. (And please, feel free to challenge me on that statement). My particular interest is in public libraries, so I make a point of visiting as many of them as I can wherever I travel, and everywhere I go staff always tell me - usually when I query why things are a certain way, or why they do not push for change, or question why they're reluctant to shake things up a little - "We live in a political environment." They say it as if it's something I don't already know. Sometimes, I feel like we use it as an excuse. We work for local government. Truth of the matter is we are always going to be in a political environment. We are always going to be leading up to election year.
My thought is that if a library tweet, event or philosophy can bring down a mayor, then perhaps she - or he - didn't have much of a platform to speak from in the first place. We should be dangerous. We aren't.
Trust that you hired the right person for the task, and let them be fearless.

Sales Recruitment Agencies in Hampshire
Hampshire has many opportunities in the sales sector. Its main towns of Winchester, Southampton and Portsmouth (with a combined population of 300,000) are home to several well-known companies which recruit large amounts of such staff, including RBS and SKY. Other (less well-known) major recruiters of sales staff in the area include NACCO, Pentalver and Dalmec.
The cities of Southampton and Portsmouth contribute to one third of Hampshire's annual GDP of around £34 billion, and therefore the local area is an excellent economic base for sales-oriented companies. Sales is an extremely competitive environment, and in order to recruit the most suitable staff members, an employer may delegate the recruitment of such staff to proven recruitment agencies that have track records of success in this field. By choosing a professional agency for this work, an employer can be sure they are getting the most appropriately qualified, trained, experienced and (crucially) ambitious employees possible. Specialist agencies will recruit staff on a number of different contracts, whether casual, full-time, part-time, permanent or temporary. They will be experts in their fields at both providing staff with the right skills to do the job, and also providing the right staff to suit a given work environment.

text: Modern dance was made in America—we proudly claim its inventors as our own. But Kuei-Chuan Yang swept into the country with her Assembly Dance Theater of Taiwan, redefining our assumptions of "modern." It's a shame that the Duke was less than half full—we New Yorkers could learn a lot from choreographer Yang, whose maneuvers are serene while daredevil-athletic, Eastern in a uniquely Western way. This stunning dichotomy is most eloquently expressed in her Gift, by seven dancers holding Taiwanese objects used to communicate with God—made of wood, and resembling red quarter-moons—while they quivered, dropped to their knees, and landed from jumps with their noses barely an inch from the floor. Yang glues the postmodern phenomenon of release technique to minimalist isolations that feel like ancient tradition. In another work, Lily, her narration in Mandarin contributed to the mood but left English-only spectators at sea.

I cringe whenever I hear stories of people trying to simulate the experience of nursing home living. I am always afraid that the lessons would be so superficial and off the mark that they would do more harm than good.
But I was truly moved by Kristen's video and commentary. It appears that her experience was unique in that she did not approach this experiment with a specific mindset about aging. Rather, she set aside her medical knowledge from textbooks and opened herself to the experience of being a resident with no expectations, judgments or preconceived notions. In the process, she learned that, yes, moving around is good for joint pain but sometimes "old people just want to sit and rest…". In other words, she saw that the resdients' experiences are not as one-dimensional as the rest of us often assume them to be. Her clinical practice will be enriched by this understanding of complexity and her medical interventions will likely be a lot more effective in promoting health and well-being.
I have no doubt that Kristen will make an excellent geriatrician upon her graduation.

Our research examines the neurobiology of affective development during childhood and adolescence. Affective development is incredibly protracted in the human, which provides us with an extended period of plasticity for learning from environmental cues. Our laboratory's questions include a focus on the powerful influences of early social experiences. Using a combination of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), laboratory-based behavior, and physiological methods, our research spans a wide developmental age range from infancy to adulthood to I) characterize developmental trajectories of human affective neurobiology (e.g., amygdala, hippocampus, striatum, prefrontal cortex), II) understand how early social environments influence this neurobiology, and III) identify effects of early-life stress on the development of affective neurobiology. Our hypotheses about human development are influenced by both human and non-human animal literatures on affective development, and I have approached these aims by studying normative human development and development following exposure to early-life adversity.

Attached please find an article by Prof. Vlttorio Felci (University of Urbino) titled: "Beyond the NPT: The Evolution of the U.S. Non-Proliferation
Policy and the Nuclearization of Iran in the 1970s"
This article provides new insights into the development of the Iranian nuclear program, by focusing on the political implications of Iran's nuclear cooperation with her Western partners in the 1970s. Using recently declassified documentary evidence from US and European archives, this study will first explore how diversification of nuclear suppliers stemmed not only from the impasse in US-Iran negotiations for a nuclear agreement, but also from a precise strategy of the Shah aimed at avoiding overreliance on the American
ally. The article will then examine how nuclear cooperation between Western Europe and Iran challenged the construction of a new US non-proliferation regime, initiated after the Indian nuclear explosion of 1974 in order to amend the inefficiencies of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

There's another new trailer online for The Sorcerer's Apprentice and this one shows off more effects, more pretty damn amazing effects, more of Nicolas Cage as Balthazar Blake doing some solid acting, and the bad guys, lot's more of the bad guys.
Alfred Molina as Maxim Horvath looks great, but it doesn't seem that there's just one baddie to contend with, there looks like there's a few, including a few previously inanimate ones.
I have to say that I'm really, really liking the look of The Sorcerer's Apprentice, and Nicolas Cage could just be turning the tide on how I feel about Nicolas Cage's performances, I'm really liking his character here.
More than that the trailer is packed full of action and effects and looks like it could be a great fun action film.
Did you see that scene with all the brooms? Obviously a nod back to the film Fantasia where the idea originally came from. I wonder if they'll sneak Mickey in there?
Have a look and see what you think of the new The Sorcerer's Apprentice trailer, I'm sold, what about you?.

Personal Management
Personal management is about mapping a plan for your life that will involve setting short-range and long-range goals and investigating different ways to reach those goals. Education, training, and experience all help make your goals become a reality. To achieve your goals, you will choose the best path and make a commitment to it, while remaining flexible enough to deal with changes and new opportunities.
- Do the following:
- Choose an item that your family might want to purchase that is considered a major expense.
- Write a plan that tells how your family would save money for the purchase identified in requirement 1a.
- Discuss the plan with your merit badge counselor.
- Discuss the plan with your family.
- Discuss how other family needs must be considered in this plan.
- Develop a written shopping strategy for the purchase identified in requirement 1a.
- Determine the quality of the item or service (using consumer publications or ratings systems).
- Comparison shop for the item. Find out where you can buy the item for the best price. (Provide prices from at least two different price sources.) Call around; study ads. Look for a sale or discount coupon. Consider alternatives. Can you buy the item used? Should you wait for a sale?
- Prepare a budget reflecting your expected income (allowance, gifts, wages), expenses, and savings. Track your actual income, expenses, and savings for 13 consecutive weeks. (You may use the forms provided in the merit badge pamphlet, devise your own, or use a computer-generated version.) When complete, present the results to your merit badge counselor.
- Compare expected income with expected expenses.
- If expenses exceed income, determine steps to balance your budget.
- If income exceeds expenses, state how you would use the excess money (new goal, savings).
- The emotions you feel when you receive money.
- Your understanding of how the amount of money you have with you affects your spending habits.
- Your thoughts when you buy something new and your thoughts about the same item three months later. Explain the concept of buyer's remorse.
- How hunger affects you when shopping for food items (snacks, groceries).
- Your experience of an item you have purchased after seeing or hearing advertisements for it. Did the item work as well as advertised?

- The differences between a charge card, debit card, and credit card. What are the costs and pitfalls of using these financial tools? Explain why it is unwise to make only the minimum payment on your credit card.
- Credit reports and how personal responsibility can affect your credit report.
- Ways to reduce or eliminate debt.
- Write a "to do" list of tasks or activities, such as homework assignments, chores, and personal projects, that must be done in the coming week. List these in order of importance to you.
- Make a seven-day calendar or schedule. Put in your set activities, such as school classes, sports practices or games, jobs or chores, and/or Scout or church or club meetings, then plan when you will do all the tasks from your "to do" list between your set activities.

CARLSBAD — Dozens of residents from La Costa gathered at City Hall on July 15 in an effort to stop the Planning Commission from approving a new development they said will bring even more noise and traffic congestion to their rapidly growing community.
After addressing several questions received prior to the meeting, staff recommended the commission certify the Environmental Impact Report for the proposed La Costa Town Square, a project to be located on an 83-acre parcel of land on the corner of Rancho Santa Fe Road and La Costa Avenue.
After the item was continued from a previous meeting, the Planning Commission did vote to certify the EIR with the recommendation the developer make the project "solar ready."
The project will now move on to City Council for final approval.
The planned development, in the works for several years, calls for a 284,400-square-foot community shopping center, a 55,000-square-foot-office project, 64 single-family homes and a multi-use residential project.
The proposed project would consist of "high end" commercial development, with a public plaza, much like that of Del Mar Plaza, said Van Lynch, senior planner with the city of Carlsbad.
A commercial project for the area has been in the La Costa Master Plan since 1972, he said. Aspen Properties put an application in with the city in 2001, but has been slow to develop the property.
Although concerned residents showed up wearing bright green tags which read, "No LCTS: No more traffic, No big box stores," they were not allowed to address the commission, as the item was continued from the previous meeting when public comment was taken and then closed. Hearing new public comment would have required going back over previously covered information.
Commissioners told those who wished to speak, they could address the council in the future.
One resident said he had concerns about the project and the logic of allowing more development to be built during a "Stage 2 Alert," when water restrictions have been given by the city.
Lynch addressed questions previously submitted, regarding traffic congestion, lights from the parking lot and the nearby residential neighborhoods, as well as the noise and dirt from the construction. Some additional blasting will be needed to move the large amounts of hard clay soil needed to level the lot, he said, but not like the previous blasting during the expansion of Rancho Santa Fe Road.
Just a few years ago, an aquifer broke in the area, flooding nearby homes to the point of complete loss, he said, and residents fear that the digging and blasting needed for this development could produce a similar problem.
La Costa has a history of rock fracturing and water coming out of the ground, he said. However, Lynch said the aquifer in question has been drained and that the issue should be resolved.
"This is an item that will go before the City Council," he said. "This is not the end-all for this particular project."
La Costa Town Square wins approval

Dear Parents
Big Health and Happiness Week: 6th – 10th October 2014
During the week beginning 6th October, the children in Primary Phase will take part in a range of sporting and health activities as part of Big Health and Happiness Week. Our theme for this year is 'Get Inspired', and the children may experience activities such as archery, ballet and multi-skills, to name but a few. The Life Education Bus will also return for the children in Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 where they will learn all about their amazing bodies.
The children will also be learning about how to keep themselves healthy, including talks by medical practitioners tailored to their age, discussions about eating healthily and the opportunity to cook and try new foods.
During Big Health and Happiness Week we aim to support the work of a charity which helps others who are in need to be healthy and happy. This year we have chosen to support Food Bank Northampton.
Children and families are asked to donate food item, baby essentials, home care and toiletries for the charity. Any donations of the items listed below will be greatly appreciated. Our target is to fill a big crate which will be located in primary reception.
Within reason, we will be outside for our programme of sport and outdoor activities whatever the weather, so please ensure that your child has appropriate PE kit for outdoors as well as indoors, including a pair of trainers and plimsolls.
We will send children's PE kit home at the end of school on Friday 10th October for a wash, as they will have been wearing it most of the week. Please ensure they bring it back to school on Monday 13th October as normal PE lessons will resume from that date.
Big Health and Happiness is an action packed week and we hope everyone will enjoy participating in some of the wide range of educational activities and sporting opportunities.
Yours sincerely
Bryce Long
PE and Sports Provision Leader

Cut the cabbage into small pieces.
In a separate container cut carrots into thin rounds.
Peel onions and cut into small pieces.
In a medium-sized pan saute the onion with butter or margarine. When onions feel soft, add mustard seeds. 30 seconds after that add cumin powder, coriander powder, and turmeric powder. Mix the spices.
Drop carrots in pan and saute. Put the lid on for 5 minutes. Now add cabbage. Mix all the vegetables together. Add cinnamon powder, salt, and chili powder. Put the lid on. Wait for 5 minutes.
Turn over mixture in pan. Make sure the spices don't stick to the bottom of the pan. Put the lid back on and leave it another 8 minutes. If you want curry to be softer, keep the lid on longer after cooking.
Serve hot or warm.

Okii Offers USB Controllers for Canon DSLRs That Don't Interfere with HDMI
In the past year Okii has put out two interesting tools for Canon HDSLR filmmakers - the Okii FC1 USB Focus Controller and the MC1 USB Mini Controller. They are both notable for being among the first camera controllers for Canon DSLRs to use the USB protocol -- this means you can keep the live view on, either in camera or via monitor, while remotely adjusting camera settings. Now, although using the USB protocol presents pros, it also has its cons:
Blogger Gray Jones goes over both in his video review:
The biggest practical concern that comes to mind with regards to the FC1 is the "stair stepping" the lens goes through while racking focus. As Gray points out, this is one of the downsides of using the USB protocol - most HDSLRs weren't designed with video friendly rack focusing in mind, so it makes sense that there would be issues when trying to use the internal controls to do so smoothly. You can adjust the size of the stair steps, but it's something to keep in mind if you're deciding whether to buy a FC1 vs. buying an external follow focus set-up.
All the same, as the following video shows, you can still get some very nice effects when all of the attention isn't on the smoothness of the rack focus - such as a descending jib shot:
Video is no longer available: vimeo.com/19887302
And as Gray points out, these are situations where having a remote controller can be invaluable - when using a crane, jib, or any other situation where the camera is placed in an awkward unreachable position and you need to control functions. In those moments a controller, whether for setting pre-set focus points or simply changing the aperture, can be a big time saver and headache solver.
At $400 for the FC1 and $230 for the MC1 it will be up to you to decide whether your shooting needs justify the investment, or whether renting one makes more sense.
Here are some of the details for the MC1 USB Mini Controller:
- Initiates video start/stop, image capture, digital zoom, autofocus, and live view
- Controls ISO, aperture, and shutter speed (while not recording)
- Optional 11-minute recording restart
- Does not interfere with HDMI output for external monitor or electronic viewfinder use
- Uses standard mini-B to A USB cables (the same cable for connecting a Canon camera to a computer)
- Non-powered USB extension cables extend range to 25+ meters
- 30+ hour battery life on two AAA alkaline batteries
- Compatible with lithium and rechargeable AAA batteries
- Three 1/4"-20 threaded mounting points on the top and sides
- Constructed of CNC milled 6061 aluminum
- Approx. 3" x 1.5" x .75" dimensions and 3.4 oz (96g) total weight with included batteries
And for the FC1 USB Controller (it includes all the functions listed above plus the ones below):
- Controls focus by use of lens autofocus motor
- Controls exposure compensation, and focus zone position (while not recording)
- Saves and returns to four focus points*
- Reversible knob direction to match 3rd party lenses
- Non-powered USB extension cables extend range to 25+ meters
- Approx. 2.7" x 2.7" x 1.6" and 4.7 oz total weight with included batteries

The Okii focus controller has been one of the most valuable pieces of kit I have purchased. For a moment put aside the slight stepping when rack focusing and think about how quickly you can set the focus of a shot without taking your hands off the camera. It speeds up your workflow. Change composition, set focus, record etc.
This short clip shows the Okii focus ability.
Consider all the work I do is documentary so I have just one take to get it right. I'm sure it could be much smoother given a more controlled environment.

I am actually intrigued about how this could work very well with timelapsing and stop-motion animation. It would need a display for that though. so you could input nr of frames as the duration and then when it takes a picture it would do the stepping between exposures. creating a smooth stop motion followfocus that should be very repeatable.
February 23, 2012 at 3:18PM, Edited September 4, 7:54AM
I'd look at what Jag35 are doing with their wireless follow focus gear.
More expensive, but you get what you pay for. No one near as dear as a Preston or Arri LCS.
Buying a jag would set you up for use on future camera set-ups.

Hi there,
We've been testing and using these controllers for quite long time and we can certainly say they are invaluable for LOT of purposes. Any situation where you need to control your camera mounted in a hard to reach place (e.g. car mount, tall tripod, jib, crane, etc.) will require some controller like these ones.
The MC1 was mainly designed to be mounted on rigs for run and gun setup, but it can also work great for the situations mentioned above (although it can't control focus like the FC1).
Regarding smoothness we also found that Canon EF lenses with USM motors can be very smooth. In the REAL World when you're watching a video, movie or any kind of footage, you would NEED to be VERY carefully checking the smoothness of a rack focus operation to notice there may be some stepping involved there. Otherwise you wouldn't notice it. So it's not an issue at all.
Just a note: there are still Coupon Codes available for both products when purchasing directly from the manufacturer. We posted them some months ago.

Prevailing Winds
by Charles Gardner
This story takes place on a small island somewhere in the South Pacific around the eighteenth century A.D. The Polynesian people were just beginning to experiment with sea travel, building and sailing canoes between neighboring islands. As their skills and knowledge grew, so did their voyages. Eventually some of these people left their island in search of a new life.
Although some departed not only seeking adventure but also a better life, many wanted to escape the brutality of human sacrifice that was practiced among some tribes on various islands.
This story is about one tribe who were victims of this violence and their ability to survive. This tribe, with less than one hundred people, lived on an island inhabited only by them.
As the readers progress through each chapter, they learn the feelings, thoughts, and actions of these brave, desperate people. In the end, their solution to the tribes dilemma is very radical and complex.About the Author
The author is a retired orthopedic surgeon. At the time of the writing, he was on active duty with the US Navy serving on the hospital ship USN Mercy. That ship was in the Persian Gulf during the 1991 Gulf War. He wrote Prevailing Winds during his spare time while aboard ship.
The authors interest in Hawaiian history stimulated him to do considerable research on the first people to inhabit the island, prior to his deployment. He did find that the Polynesians in the South Pacific did indeed leave their islands, some landing in Hawaii, being the first people to discover the islands. With this background, he wrote the book, although fiction based on that history.
Captain Gardner, USN Retired, hopes the reader enjoys Prevailing Winds half as much as he did writing it.(2012, paperback, 90 pages)

It's kind of like losing a friend. In some ways it's kind of like losing your best friend. It's amazing to think such a distant event can have such an impact. Not just on you but on thousands, maybe even millions. Automatically your mind switches to selfish thoughts, "I won't be able to see that show ever again." No more waiting in line. No more anxiety trying to get tickets. No more anticipation waiting for the next record to drop.
I'm mourning the music. But I'm mourning the man as well. Not as a friend (but kind of, yeah) and not as an acquaintance (never had the pleasure) but as a human being that gave me so much joy.
Joy and pleasure and catharsis through years and years of listening and watching and learning. Learning what it meant to love, to suffer, to party. What it meant to live. It might sound grandiose but I've had this guy in my ear for most of my life giving me advice (not always good advice, but still), urging me to have fun and live life. I've spent so much of my waking life listening to his music. Over and over again. New songs then back to the old ones and back again. Each one is like a family member. A well remembered face that feels like home every time you hear it. Each one has its own life. Its own memory. When you first heard it. What (or who) you did while listening to it. And it's gone. Or at least that's what it feels like.
There's always going to be a void now. In our hearts and in our minds. Those of us that have been on the boat for years. Have traveled to different cities and countries to see him perform. Invested so much time and money and love. How do you replace something like that? Why would you even want to?
I'm never ever going to fall in love with a band or artist like that ever again. Even if someone was able to match his output and quality I'm too old to start over. All we'll be able to do is put on some old records and reminisce about what we use to have. "Remember that show man? That was crazy!"
The music that made me who I am is gone. And so is the man who made it. The songs are still there. And the videos. And the movies. But knowing we'll never see him again means none of that music will ever be the same. Every ballad will make you sad in a way that wasn't possible before and every funky bass line will be a reminder that at some point the party will be over.
And at the centre of it all is just another man. A human being. Just like you. Just like me. There may be a perceived crassness at the masses mourning a public figure. Finger pointing and sneering at those who feel a loss even though they have no relation to the deceased. An attitude I've held myself at times to my shame. But you should never feel ashamed of the things that make you feel anything. Whether it's sadness or joy.
But at the end of the day it's not his death that's really important. Just another among billions really. It's his life. That's what's important to remember (at least to me). He did more in 57 years than most of us would be able to do in 507. Sure, all we have now are memories but when it comes down to it that's all our lives are. A series of memories. And he certainly gave us some great ones. Maybe that's what I'm saddest about. No new memories. Not with him anyway. But we'll always be able to keep the ones that we have and continue to cherish them and protect them and remember what life can be if we chose to live. And therein lies the lesson.
At the end of the day the sadness is not for him really, it's for me. What I'll be missing. How it makes me feel. My life, such as it is, won't change much in the day to day but behind all that I think that he'll always be there in some subtle way. The memories and the music. Guiding, advising, laughing. Sharing the good times and the bad.
I'm thankful that I was able to experience what I have. On record and in concert. I'll be forever grateful. And forever in debt.

The Doors
It's called The Doors but director Oliver Stone's hyper-bonkers bio of the band should have just been called Jim Morrison. Because the real show here is Val Kilmer's brilliant performance as the self-destructive lead singer, while the rest of the guys--Ray Manzarek (Kyle MacLachlan), Robby Krieger (Frank Whaley) and John Densmore (Kevin Dillon)--spend most of the movie standing around scolding Jim and telling him to grow up. As usual, Stone hits his points with a sledge hammer, and Doorsaphiles may take issue with the actual facts. I mean, was Jim's LSD-inspired obsession with an Indian shaman a Morrison or a Stone concoction? But that's neither here nor there; like Stone's greatest film, JFK (also released in '91), in the end the actual facts don't matter. What does matter is the incredible filmmaking skills on show here. From the camera work to the editing to the use of sound, Stone is in his element with his usual all-star crew at their most dizzying and superfluous. If Morrison was one of music's most self-indulgent windbags--some love The Doors while others call them overrated--Stone is in a similar boat. The guy has won a couple Oscars and penned a couple kinda-classics (Midnight Express, Scarface) but often gets eye rolls when his name is mentioned. And that proves to be part of the beauty here; the excess of Morrison's short life is perfect for Stone's excess on film.
Though living members of The Doors at different points of production were consulted, in the end they all publicly disavowed the final movie, claiming Stone ignored their suggestions. So in Stone's world, the story of The Doors goes something like this. Transplanted from a nice all-American, middle class childhood, Jim was a groovy, shirtless UCLA film student, influenced by Literature 101 (The Beats, Nietzsche, Rimbaud, etc.), making ridiculous overly arty student films. After discussing his coolness with a classmate, Manzarek, they decide to form a band. They add the less hip, but apparently talented Krieger and Densmore to the band and pretty quickly start to gain a rep on the Sunset Strip club scene for their rulebreaking improvised style. Jim, in full swagger, also stalks and then seduces a young flower child, Pamela Courson (Meg Ryan), and she becomes his old lady. The band navigates the swirling waters of the swinging sixties rock scene, having hit records, meeting Andy Warhol (Crispin Glover), dealing with police arrests and a general far-outness. Meanwhile the more successful they get, the more Jim alienates Pam and his band with his excessive egomania and drug and alcohol abuse, until he finally overdoses in Paris at the age of twenty seven, just after the publication of his poetry book.Continue Reading

Valentine for Ernest Mann
by Naomi Shihab Nye
You can't order a poem like you order a taco.
Walk up to a counter, say "I'll take two"
and expect it to be handed to you
on a shiny plate.
Still, I like your spirit.
Anyone who says, "Here's my address,
write me a poem," deserves something in reply.
So I'll tell you a secret instead:
poems hide. In the bottoms of our shoes,
they are sleeping. They are the shadows
drifting across ceilings the moment
before we wake up. What we have to do
is live in a way that lets us find them....
(Qtd. in Heard, Georgia. Writing Toward Home. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann, 1995. p. 10.)
I found tremendous encouragement in Heard's commentary on it. She says, "We don't necessarily need to change our lives around to be writers or to be writing more. We must change the way we look at our lives. By looking at the small, everyday circumstances and happenings, we find ideas to fill volumes."
Where have you found poetic or fictional material hiding in the everyday? Have you ever had a change in perspective--how you look at your life--that opened up a well of ideas for you?

Evergreen's DN-SCM81 USB Digital Audio Adaptor
Those of you with Power PC mini's might be interested to know that yet another USB to digital audio interface has surfaced. This particular model (the Evergreen DN-SCM81) is optical out only but that might be just what the doctor ordered for those of us who still haven't upgraded to the Intel mini's with SPDIF out's
Here's the kicker, According to Engadget it retails for 2,980 Yen. (roughly $26) At that price, if I was still in the market for a USB to digital adaptor I might give it a whirl sight unseen. If any of you folks happen to try one of these be sure and give us your feedback.

The Indiana State Fair, starting Friday, provides a nearly month-long showcase for Hoosier agriculture. As that industry has changed, its role at the fair has stayed much the same.
Every year, Hoosiers get to try Indiana-grown wares of all kinds at the State Fair. They get to see 4-H participants show off their small flocks and exhibition animals.
What's interesting, says Indiana State Poultry Association executive vice president Paul Brennan, is that it's all evolved and modernized far less than the state's major agriculture sectors themselves.
"Twenty-five years ago, what you saw in terms of poultry at the fair was not the commercial industry," Brennan says. "And that hasn't changed. It's pretty much the same in that regard."
Indiana is the top duck producer in the country, and also ranks high for eggs and turkeys.
While the fair might not reveal the full scale of that or other industries, such as pork, dairy and beef, Brennan says it does give fair-goers a chance to meet and talk to real farmers and people from agribusinesses.
He says the fair also lets farm advocates talk to policy-makers about issues such as North American Free Trade Act reform, immigrant labor policy and the next Farm Bill.
"There are people that come … and want to engage the overall industry," Brennan says. "That's kind of when they do that."
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue and U.S. Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) are among the federal lawmakers set to stop by the state fairgrounds in Indianapolis this month.
See the full Indiana State Fair schedule here. And stay tuned for more stories from the fair, which runs Aug. 4 through Aug. 20.

The Sun Interview
Death And Other Cures
An Interview With Dr. Lobsang Dolma
Her hands are graceful, forceful, certain. They move through the air like swift, impassioned birds, emphasizing her words, as she explains about medicines of flowers and fruits for craziness, diagnosing pregnancy by feeling the pulse in the ring finger, the difficulty of curing heart disease when there are evil spirits, the importance of the doctor's own dreams before the patient arrives, and, with the same matter-of-factness, about cancer. She is sitting cross-legged on the pillow, her eyes dark and active, her voice calm: why tumors grow; karma; the presence of evil spirits.

Lots to do today? Power up with a vibrant, nutrient-packed smoothie.
Bananas, strawberries, almond milk, blueberries and…. squash? It may not be the first ingredient that comes to mind when you think of smoothie making but butternut squash (delicious in so many recipes) is actually a great smoothie ingredient. It's lower in sugar and higher in potassium than many fruits and just half a cup provides more than 100% of the DV for vitamin A. I like to pair it with strawberries and add cinnamon. You can use it frozen, raw, or cooked.

Cristal Carter is one of my ongoing Skype cronies, and she has some stupendous talent, which sets her aside from other music artists. She has an uncharted dialect, which she describes fluently in her beats. If you are a music artist struggling to find a Master Beat designer then I highly suggest collabing with Cristal. Young and brilliant, her work and her motivation, to never stop, drives the internal psyche. The resonance of her beats influences creativity. Give it a try and view some samples on her site: www.RocBattle.com/CristalCarter or www.DirtyScopeBeatz.com/CristalCarter.
I sourly believe that artist should continue to grow their abilities by going to school to pursue new objectives. Being more informed will allow an artist to get through resilient times. Even if you have extraordinary talent, the industry is obscene, and will eat your time and patients alive. I believe artist have a better chance at creating their own net-works, along with developing profession suitable to get them through droughts.
Working with young people like Cristal will help mature new talents along with giving many a chance to work with special genius people. Cristal has her own net work of artists, which will explode in the industry.
Time is of the essence, and the world is rousting on new talent. One thing that I developed over the years is my ability to write. I enjoy writing novels and desire to make greater archives. That is two things every company needs, may it be in the music industry, in any advertisement corporations, book companies, or media establishments, they will require good writers, and good music producers. Believe me, not everyone carries these skills. It's wonderful to have them, and it helps with getting me through my college classes. When working on large projects, patients are a virginity, which will carry you to the other side. However, remember patients isn't the only thing that will skin the cat. Other things learned in life will be needed on your journey and sometimes other individuals will hold the keys to your success. Work together or work forever.
Have a wonderful day.
PS: Always love Cristal Carter Beats
