There will be no wrist bands or discounted ticket sheets available that day. According to Catherine Walker, Special Events Manager, this is the best day to bring your kids out to ride all of the fair rides. Walker explains, "Very rarely is it crowded this day, so it's a great afternoon or evening to come out and bring the little kids to ride the small rides when they're just a dollar a piece." Wednesday July 4th is of course the big day for the carnival with lots of things happening. The carnival opens for the day at 1 p.m. to provide lots of time for people to enjoy the afternoon with rides and food. All day arm bands for rides cost $25 and discount ticket sheets are available for $20 for 25 tickets. If you're going to be attending the fireworks display it is also a good idea to get there a little earlier in the evening to take advantage of witnessing the welcoming ceremony, the parachute demonstration team, the posting of the colors and the national anthem, as well as a band concert provided by the 101st Band beginning at 5p.m. All of this ends in a fireworks display as it gets dark, usually around 9p.m. Walker also suggests coming early for inclement weather purposes. She suggests, "If there is any information I can get out to folks it is to come out a little early, because weather permitting, or weather contingent, we have had to shoot the fireworks off early before because of incoming weather." The outstanding fireworks display held every year is not something that you want to miss, so plan to come out and enjoy yourself. The Carnival is also open Thursday July 5th through Saturday July 7th to provide entertainment for the whole weekend. During these days an all-day arm band for rides is $20 or you could still get discount ticket sheets for $20 for 25 tickets. No matter what day you choose The time for the yearly Carnival during the week of the 4th of July is once again upon us. An always popular event, it is a great place to bring your friends, Family, and children out to the Division Parade Field for some great midway food, rides, and of course the 4th of July fireworks display. Belle City Amusements is bringing all the fun starting from Tuesday July 3rd and ending Saturday July 7th. Tuesday July 3rd has been designated this year as Dollar Day, where it only costs you a dollar to ride each ride. Each ticket for rides is only one dollar and 3 www.fortcampbellmwr.com to ride the rides, planning ahead and thinking about the needs of your Family before deciding on how many tickets to buy is a good idea. If you're going to be there all day, the arm band is the best deal. Walker explains, "All minors need to be accompanied by an adult, and one of the things I'd like to get out there, especially parents of young children, is to go walking through the carnival before they buy anything and see how many rides that they can physically ride. Belle City Amusements will be bringing ten children's rides, however, there are safety standards for the height. You don't want to go buy a wrist band and find out that your child can only ride two rides because of their size. The restrictions are safety restrictions and need to be adhered to, so it is very beneficial to go walk around and see, one, what your kids can ride, and, two, what they "want" to ride, because they might not want to ride certain things. Then make the best choice for your Family at that point." All ride ticket purchases are non refundable. If an adult is riding with their child, then the adult will also need to have tickets for their own seat. Planning your day out is the key for a safe and enjoyable time. Belle City Amusements has been providing the entertainment for this carnival for the past several years, and they plan to bring 15 major adult rides, 10 children's rides, 6 food concession stands, and 20 skill games. If you would like to take a look at their individual rides or history you can find their information at www.bellecityamusements.com. There will also be an ATM that they provide in case you forget to bring cash. The location of the carnival, the Division Parade Field, is on the corner of Desert Storm Ave and 47th Street. You can also get to it by traveling down A Shau Valley Road until it dead ends into 47th Street. The Division Parade Field is also #71 on the map of Fort Campbell located in this magazine. Parking will be available in various parking lots surrounding the area. No glass bottles, cans, pets, outside food and beverages or personal weapons will be permitted. Walker also wanted to remind people to stay safe, hydrated, and wear sunblock, especially on the 4th of July. She states, "Bring a blanket, sit on the field, have a great time, brought to you by MWR.

By now, you should be seeing your flowers bloom and depending on what you planted, you may be harvesting your vegetables. I hope you found a swimsuit in that bottom drawer because you'll need it this month. Don't worry, if you don't have a swim suit � just wear some shorts and a t-shirt. This is supposed to be for fun; not fashion. All you have to do is walk through the toy section of a local department store to see that there are dozens of water toys available. If you want to go buy some of these toys, you can - but you don't have to. There's plenty of fun to be had with what you already have at home. I found this idea on the TLC website and it sounds like a lot of fun! You'll need an old garden hose (the leakier the better), a hammer, a nail, a roll of duct tape, and a stopwatch (if you want to time the game). Help your child use the hammer and nail to make holes every few inches down the length of the water hose. Put the hammer and nail away when you're finished so nothing else gets punctured (like bare feet). Attach the hose to an ordinary outdoor water spigot and turn the water on. Now comes the hard part. It's your child's assignment to try and repair the hose with duct tape while water is gushing out the holes. It's nearly impossible to duct-tape the holes shut but it is great fun to try! Use a stopwatch or set a timer for another element of excitement. So that you don't feel guilty about the water you're using � throw in a car wash (or bicycle/tricycle wash) once in a while. Just a bucket of warm soapy water and some clean rags are all you need. Be sure to rinse all suds off of the car completely and if you accidently drop the sponge or cloth on the ground, don't pick it back up and use on the car unless you rinse it well first. (Small bits of debris can stick to the wet sponge or cloth and you'll scratch up your paint.) All ages of kids can help with the car wash as long as Mom, Dad or an older sibling is watching them. Keep up the good work in your flower beds and gardens. They're looking beautiful!

Corlew, III The great French playwright and actor, Jean Baptiste Poquelin, Moliere, wrote, "The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it." These life challenges and accomplishments mark our ability to become respectable individuals within society, add depth to our character, and either give us shared bonds or make us more competitive for success. As infants, we generally learn to first crawl and then walk. Then there is Sweet-Sixteen and for most of us, the age that we are able to receive our driver's license � our first legal picture ID; and at age eighteen, we are able to vote and typically we graduate from high school. Nevertheless, there is no great achievement without encountering an equally impressive obstacle. In order to progress from crawl to walk, a toddler must have adequate motor skills, parents must have patience, and provide encouragement; and both parent and child experience one fall after another, lots of crying, and numerous missed camera-moments. Finally, after thirteen years of school (if you count kindergarten), after every test, dealing with every teacher, guidance counselor, principal, and Bruno the bully, you accomplish high school graduation. The single word linking all these achievements and obstacles together is: learning. In order to move through one period of time to the next phase of life, one must be able to learn continually in order to reach success. The question to bear is, "Does learning stop?" In the military, you face daily obstacles that involve learning as well as considerable time for preparation. Rarely can a new recruit score 300-points on their physical fitness test (PT). In many cases it may take years of training and conditioning to accomplish such - or birthdays that progress your raw score into a different category. In order to become the Soldier of the Month and compete for Soldier of the Year, it takes countless hours studying, preparing, training, and perhaps a little luck. You never know the exact question that board members may ask and you never really know just how well your competitors prepared. However, you can't trust your future and current success on just your age or just luck. You must continually learn and prepare adequately to become effectively competitive regardless of your age or current career status. Therefore, the career that was hot yesterday may only be lukewarm today. This is why higher education means so much more to our generations today than it did for our parents and grandparents. If you noticed, I did not mention earlier that higher education can only equal a college degree. In fact, especially for service members, higher education may involve additional certifications or programs that are Civilian equivalent or Civilian transferable; additionally, many colleges and universities accept military courses and give credit toward Train your Brain completion of various degree programs. For example, according to, Jeff Rose, author of, "Is College Overrated? The Top 18 Highest Paying Jobs with no College Degree," most notable careers without a college degree are: air traffic controller (does require rigorous testing and background investigation, but no college degree although the field is very competitive); real estate broker, carpenter, photographer, personal trainer, truck driver, salesperson, and emergency medical technician. I'm not suggesting that these are the only fields suitable for service members; nonetheless, these careers easily segue from a military occupational specialty (MOS) and additional duties into transferable Civilian skills. Have you ever lead PT? Do you have a current `348 or been given the task of Repairs and Utilities (R&U)? If you find that the college is the path for you, here are a few points to consider. First, devise a list of career features that interest you versus those that are unacceptable and research your areas of interest: look at salary, potential for economic growth, career opportunity, etc. Second, meet with an education or career counselor and together brainstorm on degree possibilities; consider time of completion, online learning versus traditional classroom learning, and overall education costs. The process of earning a degree is expensive; investigate both in and out-of-state tuition rates, living expenses or moving costs, college text books and associated media. Third, select a program of study that is flexible with the one, single most important condition of consideration: your interest. Do not go to school to become a medical doctor, if the sight of blood or Ms. Sally's knees makes you queasy. And lastly, earn your college degree or certification only because it is what you desire; and similar to preparing and completing basic training or earning Air Assault wings, "The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it, Moliere." Remember, learning regardless of age, never ceases but continually progresses. www.fortcampbellmwr.com 12 Lady Riders by Lynn Laws Do you like the outdoors, the wind and the sun in your face? If the answer is yes, one way to experience this is to ride a motorcycle. I am a lady rider, and have been one for most of my life. Over the years, I have seen more women become riders. When I started riding my own motorcycle; I would see the look on people's faces and I knew what they were thinking. "Is that a woman driving that motorcycle, I can't believe it!" It was the feeling of independence that I felt, and still feel when I ride, that hooked me. Besides the enjoyment I get from riding, I save money riding my bike because gas prices are high these days. Motorcycling is not everyone's cup of tea; however, it makes me happy to see more women catching the fever. It always surprises me that there is still a mistaken impression that if you ride a motorcycle, then you are in a gang. There are those that do belong to motorcycle clubs - not gangs. Bikers Who Care (BWC), Patriot Guard Riders (PGR), Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association (CVMA) and many more clubs participate in helping people, as do riders that do not belong to a club. They ride in toy runs, and various benefit rides like poker runs, to raise money for some cause or another. I ride with the Patriot Guard from time to time, when I can make the rides. It is very satisfying and makes me feel like I am taking part in something Photo courtesy of Appleton Harley-Davidson important, as the PGR Ride for Break Time Veterans that Stood for Us. If anyone decides that they would like to take up riding as a hobby, I would recommend that they take the motorcycle safety course. It is a required course for anyone riding on military installations. I took the course and even though I have been riding a long time, I learned a few things that I did not know. I hope that everyone who operates a motor vehicle keeps safety in mind while they drive. If you ride or plan on joining the ever growing motorcycle enthusiasts please ride safely!

Either way the stands are attached to a source whether it is a farm or another source for inventory. A good way to find out which one suits your needs prior to visiting the market is to research a bit online. While researching last month for local farms I found that I was able to delve a little deeper into where the inventory at the farmers markets were coming from. This is not available at all locations and if you are unable to research online you can always speak with the farmers and/or salesperson directly on location. The website www.picktnproducts.org has an abundance of information regarding farmers markets, seasonal fruits and veggies, as well as tips. Here you can search the specific markets and find links directly to the farms web sites. For example: head to the website above and click on "Farmers Markets" then find the County you are searching for. In this case "Davidson County", click on "East Nashville Farmers Market" then click the website link. From here you can link up with "Our Farmers", where you will find a list and links to information regarding Farmers for Produce, Meats and Dairy, Specialties, and even Artisan Crafts and Food. Delvin Farms is one of the top listed about which you can read more. The link will take you directly to their page where you can learn about the history of the farm, which farmers markets they sell at or even follow their blog and Facebook page. What is great about this particular farm is that they are part of the CSA program "Community Supported Agriculture". This is a program that offers those without a green thumb or the land to seed a chance to become part of the "Family" by investing into the land and harvest, and in turn, reaping what is sewn. By offering assistance in funding the farm you will receive an overfilled half bushel box of seasonal produce either weekly or every other week, depending on the share you choose. This is a great way to offer you and your Family nutritional support and to give back to the farmers that have tended our great land for generations. The money you spend at local supermarkets for produce may not be as nutritionally sound or as fun as linking up with your local farmer. Spend a day with your Family and check out your local market, sample the harvest and enjoy the social aspect of the event. You won't be sorry. Last month I brought you an article regarding farmers markets. I wrote about local farmers markets and basics on what to look for and what to expect. This month I will bring you a new harvest of information that gets a little bit deeper into the root of the actual "farmer" at the market. If you have gone to a farmers market then you know that some of the stands appear to be set up as mini "supermarkets" complete with the SKU stickers adhered to the produce. I personally bypass these stands and seek out the well seasoned farmer.

Last month we shared a few of his recipes. This month, I'd like to share some of his cooking tips. � Haven't got a toothpick to test your cake's doneness? No worries! Use a piece of dried spaghetti. You can also use that piece of spaghetti to replace long match sticks to light your candles. � Make sure when you start cooking that your pan is nice and hot. This ensures precise cooking and allows the food to be evenly cooked through. � Burnt food clinging to the bottom of your pan? Add hot water and a dryer sheet to the pan. Let it soak and the burnt crust will lift right off. If that still doesn't work, add a few cups of water and two tablespoons of baking powder then bring the pan to a boil. This and That by CynDe Clack pre-chop and store in air tight containers. This makes preparing mid-week dinners that much easier. Veggies are the perfect ingredients to throw into stir-fry or to snack on at work. � When chopping herbs, toss a little salt onto the cutting board; it will keep the herbs from flying around. � Washing and drying fresh herbs can be a tedious task. To expedite the process, place herbs in your salad spinner basket. Submerge herbs in water the way you would wash salad greens. Once you have washed them, simply lift the basket out of the dirty water. Fit basket back into base and spin dry. � Don't throw away your stale bread. Brush it with lots of water and place in a hot oven for 10 minutes. It will come out fresh. All of these and more can be found on his website, www.jonashton.com. � Preparation is where all the cooking magic begins. Sunday is the perfect day to buy all your vegetables, "Cooking should be fun. All you need is simple ingredients prepared with love. It's that easy." ~ Chef Jon Ashton Keeping it Together Meeting Challenges Head-On by Tara Goodson Kelly Edmund is well versed in using the resources available at Fort Campbell. She recently finished an internship at Army Community Service (ACS) Family Advocacy Program (FAP). When I spoke to Kelly about why she chose to pursue an education in social services, her short answer was she simply wants to help people. The long story is a bit more detailed and speaks to many Families in our community. Five years ago, the Edmund's welcomed a new member into their Family. But he wasn't a baby. Xayvier is Kelly's stepson, just seven months younger than her son, Lawrence Jr. Xayvier is Lawrence Sr.'s son and they have been a part of his life since they found out about him. He lived the first five years of his life with his mother in Louisiana and it was rough, according to Kelly. They saw him several times a year when they went home to visit, but a continuous relationship was hard to build due to the dynamic of the household he was living in. Kelly and Lawrence thought they would be able to provide Xayvier with a stable home environment and on his fifth birthday, he moved into their home. Junior was quick to adapt to having a new brother, but Xayvier had a few reservations. He wasn't used to going to school regularly, expectations, rules and a regular schedule. To say the first few years were challenging is an understatement. An immediate deployment, being enrolled in college full time and caring for two boys that are exact opposites of each other could bring any Spouse down. But Kelly remained positive throughout the journey. Since that day, the Edmunds Family has been through two deployments, start of business school for Lawrence and transitioning to cadre at a Warrior Transition Unit (WTU), undergrad degree completion and enrollment in a master's degree program. Kelly learned early in her life as a military Spouse to seek out the resources that are available to her Family on Fort Campbell. Junior was already enrolled in the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) due to a speech delay, so that was one of the first places she went to after Xayvier moved in. The staff at EFMP connected her with Dr. Humberd, a doctor at Blanchfield Army Community Hospital (BACH). Dr. Humberd is a developmental-behavioral pediatrician and has been a huge proponent for alternate therapies and techniques to assist Xayvier. The progress Xayvier has made while seeing Dr. Humberd and the assistance provided from EFMP has turned his success rate from low to outstanding in almost everything he attempts. He is now reaching his benchmarks in schoolwork and is willing and able to interact with other children in an appropriate manner. Both were issues when he first moved into Kelly's home. He manages his emotions, and no longer has temper tantrums when he doesn't get his way; he participates in sports via Child, Youth and School Services (CYSS) Youth Sports and sees himself as Junior's protector (even though he is the younger of the two). While Xayvier plays sports, Kelly said his favorite is the snack that comes after the game is done! The boys, though close in age, have vastly different interests, activities and friends. Junior has been an integral part of welcoming Xayvier into their Family, and Kelly is quick to point out; "Xayvier became my son the moment he stepped into our house. He follows the same rules and gets the same encouragement. I want my boys to succeed and will do everything I am able to help them along the way." Kelly was originally pursuing a degree in Nursing at Austin Peay. She opted to change her major two years into it when their Family grew to four members. This was due to the realization that the system failed Xayvier and how heartbroken and frustrated she was trying to help him. Kelly credits her persistence, EFMP, the Family Advocacy Program and the school system here at Fort Campbell along with her positive attitude in making her Family successful. She feels safe as a military Spouse and hopes she can encourage everyone to seek the resources that are available. Kelly thinks word of mouth is the best way to get people involved and active and said "her mouth will be talking" about everything Families can do at Fort Campbell to be successful. Xayvier recently told Kelly that "she is the best step-mom in the whole world" and that tells me the Edmunds are a successful Family. 21 Family Finances There we were. We had great seats behind home plate. Our team was up by one run and our closer was coming in to finish `em off. It would be the cherry on the top of a perfect day. Then my oldest son turned to me and said "Gee, Dad, summer is almost over. I don't want to go back to school." That is when it hit me. The question that will cause every father to lose sleep at the close of the summer: Are we ready for the kids to go back to school? No, really, it's true. So I did what had to be done - I pulled out my cell phone and called my wife. "Honey, are we ready for the kids to go back to school?" She replied (like every loving wife would say), "Are you crazy, you couldn't wait until I got back down to my seat to ask me that? Don't worry, I have it all under control" she added. "Ah, an excellent wife! She is far more precious than jewels ", I said with a sigh. The next day we sat down together to go over her plan. "The first thing I do is take an inventory of the supplies I have left over from last year. I then look at how much I spent last year because I always keep the receipts from year to year along with the list that the kids got from their teachers." "Um" I replied. " That is a really great idea." "I always do this with the kids so I can teach them about money" she continued. "I motivate them by telling them the more we can save on school supplies and clothes the better our summer vacation will be." She showed me how she divided the supplies into separate boxes for each child and set them aside until she gets the new lists from the teachers. She continued. "Next we go through the clothes. You know that the schools on post have a dress code so that really limits our clothes shopping. The Backdoor Boutique helped us out last year but now that you got promoted to SSG we don't qualify for help anymore" she explained. "I always separate out the clothes that don't fit anymore, and then we donate them to the Backdoor Boutique" she said with a smile. "So then we go to the store and get the stuff we need, right?" I asked. "Not quite yet" she replied. "Now I check local stores for sales coming up, and wait for the tax free weekend" she continued. "Tax free weekend, what is that?" I asked. "Most states will have a tax free weekend for school shopping" she explained. It is usually limited to certain items like school supplies, school clothes up to a certain dollar value and computers up to a certain dollar value," she continued. Then she added, "The tax free weekend should be the first weekend in August and the school lists will come out before that, I hope. I will take advantage of the tax free weekend to make up for the shortfalls in supplies and clothes we need based on the new school lists." "Is there anything I can do?" I asked. "I want you to make sure the boys have all of the stuff they need for the sports they plan to participate in this year" she replied. "Will do" I said with a gleam in my eye. To make sure I understood her plan I decided to summarize it my own words. "So, you first check for available supplies and clothes at home, you cross level them, then based on open requisitions you go to the stores and fill the open requisitions, taking advantage of the tax free weekend of course." "Uh, I... guess you could put it that way" she replied with a bewildered look. "Wow, you sure do have this under control" I said. "I think I am going to put you in for an Impact Award! How does dinner and a movie sound?" I asked eagerly. "I already have it scheduled" she said with a smile. "We will be going to Edwards downtown, and then on to a musical at The Roxy." "Well" I replied a little perplexed. "If that is what you want, let's do it, you deserve it!" www.fortcampbellmwr.com 22 Getting the Best Bang...

Luckily, as digital technology continues to advance, I learned that you do not need an expensive digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera to capture high quality images. In fact, most compact digital cameras, or simply known as point-and-shoot cameras, can produce images comparable to high-priced DSLR cameras. If you are thinking about purchasing a new digital camera, consider these current cameras on the market: Canon Powershot ELPH 100 HS The Exchange Price: $179 The 12.1 megapixel Canon Powershot ELPH 100 HS is Canon's first compact camera with a CMOS sensor, a light sensor which allows cameras to capture clearer images in low-lighting situations.

The IMCOM Best Warrior competition is designed to test a Soldier's warrior skills in a realistic and challenging environment, and examines not only the physical aspect but the Soldier's written and oral skills as well. Fort Campbell Soldier SPC Lance Christie, who is a 15R Apache maintainer and the current Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers (BOSS) President, had the honor of competing to represent the Atlantic Region in this year's competition. MWR Life: How did you get selected to compete in the IMCOM Atlantic Region Best Warrior competition? SPC Christie: I was nominated by SGM Herndon to represent the Garrison. I competed against another Soldier to win the honor of representing Fort Campbell at this year's competition. MWR Life: What did you experience during the competition? SPC Christie: I experienced a lot of things. The competition involved several challenges such as the six mile ruck march, combatives, a day and night land navigation, PT test, marksmanship, written exam, and the military board where we had to go in front of seven sergeants major who test your Army knowledge. It was a very intense environment. Right after completing the ruck march, we were called to complete the next challenge which was a mystery event called the Fit to Win Endurance course, a half mile obstacle course. MWR Life: How did you do in the competition? SPC Christie: I ended up finishing runner �up. I won the majority of the events but the board was worth the most points and I did not do the best in that category. The Soldier I was competing against for the top spot did better than I did on the board. I did, however, place first in the ruck march competition, PT test, combatives, marksmanship and the Fit to Win Endurance course. MWR Life: How did you prepare for the Best Warrior competition? SPC Christie: I got to experience a lot of training. I got to do combatives with 5th Group which was awesome. I learned a lot of good stuff there. I was rucking every week. I really enjoyed training and preparing for the competition. MWR Life: What were some of the perks of being selected to represent Fort Campbell? SPC Christie: I was fortunate enough to go to the Super Bowl thanks to Bud Adams, the owner of the Tennessee Titans. He gave us 35 tickets and the seats were in the Titans box. The best part of going to the Super Bowl was getting to 25 www.fortcampbellmwr.com meet Steven Tyler, Danny DeVito, Adam Sandler, Jessica Simpson, John Elway, Joe Theisman, Jim Kelly and Joe Montana. MWR Life: Who was your favorite celebrity? SPC Christie: Steven Tyler, because that guy is crazy! He came in there so excited to see all of us Soldiers. It was off the charts! I was standing there talking to him when next thing you know Entertainment Tonight came in to interview him and he stood there with his arm across my shoulder while he did the interview. It was an awesome experience! MWR Life: If you could do the competition all over again, what is the one thing you would change? SPC Christie: One thing I would change would be to study more for the board. The board had such a bearing on how they chose the winner. If I had been better prepared for the board I definitely could have won. MWR Life: How do you feel the military has helped you become the person you are today? SPC Christie: I have been in or around the military my entire life. My mom was in the Navy and worked at the U.N. for a while and my dad was an Army guy. All my uncles were in the military as well and actually my dad's brother was SGM Herndon's sergeant major back when he was a private. My aunts and uncles have all served. It has been a way of life for me. It's what I know and I love doing it. I think the Army Family as a whole is pretty awesome and it is a good way of life for me. MWR Life: What advice do you have for other single Soldiers? SPC Christie: Well, I know that when you are down there in the trenches you may sometimes feel underappreciated and wonder how you can make a difference. I encourage all Soldiers to set your sights high and shoot for them. If you believe, you will succeed. Have the desire and motivation to see your goal through until the end. You may be today's follower, but you can be tomorrow's leader. Learn as much as you can and before you know it, you will be on the top of the chain. MWR Life: What are your future plans for your military career? SPC Christie: I plan on making the military my career. Right now I am in the process of getting my warrant officer packet together so I can become a pilot. I have always aspired to be a pilot, a big part of that is because of my uncle. I had some great experiences when I was a kid in Germany. My uncle took us up in a Huey with my dad and from then on I always wanted to learn how to fly. MWR Life: Who do you look up to as a mentor or who do you think inspires you the most? SPC Christie: At this point and time I would have to say SGM Herndon. He is fair and impartial on pretty much everything. He doesn't give you the answer you want to hear, he gives you the right answer, which is what I really admire about him and it is something that I think is important to give to Soldiers, especially if you are leading. SGM Herndon has taught me a lot as a leader, as a Soldier and even as an individual. He is almost like a father figure to me. I can contact him at any time. He is more than my senior military advisor, I consider him to be a good friend. SPC Christie meets and exceeds the standards set forth by the Army. In line with everything the Army represents, he is a great example of how hard work and dedication can help you achieve all your goals. Young Soldiers like SPC Christie exemplify the best our country has to offer and we are proud to share his accomplishments with you. Be sure to pick up the August issue to see who we will feature as next month's Hometown Hero. 26 PCSing? NEED MORE ROOM?

We pour aloe on our goofy looking life-jacket and sunglass tans. We take one last look at the water and softly cry. During the long winter months, we gaze longingly at the cold lifeless water and just wait. We wait until the snow melts and the water runs warm and high. The wait is finally over... Around this time of year, we emerge from our aquatic hibernation like bears from their caves. The planets align and the smell of outdoor recreation water activities fills the air. I can smell it when I wake up and as I fall asleep. It's time to dust off the paddles, prepare the boats, and take the summer plunge. That's right, its water season again; it's hot and it feels pretty darn good to be around some cool water.

What if this wasn't a rhetorical question?
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
Watched a movie called "Not Forgotten" with Simon Baker in it last night. Baker and his mexican wife live in Texas near the Mexico border. His daughter is kidnapped and taken to Mexico. He doesn't know why she was kidnapped. As the movie goes on, you find out he's not who you think he is and has a shady past. The kidnapping has to do with the Mexican Mob and some payback toward him.
It was okay. Not great. Not horrible. Kept my attention mostly.

Toy Story 3. Very good, but surprisingly sad. It played much more like Wall-E or Up than the prior Toy Story movies. There were a few scenes that might even be a bit intense for the youngest part of the crowd.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Saw "The Last Airbender" last night.
In a word: Trainwreck.
This movie is "Dune" for a new generation. It's a giant mess that, in what I can only assume is a compulsion to be absolutely faithful to it's source material, ends up glossing over any interesting ideas, leaving whole aspects of the "universe" it exists in unexplained, and creates characters that wold generously be described as shallow and 2D. The acting ranges from hammy to awful, the plot follows no discernable logic, and there is nothing by way of character development.
I'd stay far away.
Championships Matter.
24 Years and Counting...
What Inspired It:
The truth is quite a bit stupider than that. This Academy Award-nominated classic was inspired by something off of the same children's television network that introduced the world to Rugrats, Clarissa Explains It All and Doug. Yup, Nickelodeon.
It turns out that Shyamalan was one hell of an unofficial member of the Midnight Society in the 90s, since his magnum opus was inspired by an episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark?.
Technically, SNICK.
The episode in particular, "The Tale of the Dream Girl", is basically the same story as The Sixth Sense except it was written for the same audience that followed Salute Your Shorts.
Just like The Sixth Sense, "The Tale of the Dream Girl" tells the story of a kid who is able to eerily and unwillingly communicate with the dead. In this case, his name is Johnny Angelli, and he's portrayed by the same pretty-boy who played Scott Hope on Buffy. At first it appears that Johnny is being stalked by a girl who is clearly way out of his league, but not only does Johnny think that she's dead, there's something strange going on with Johnny. You see, he has this ring which he can't get off his finger, nobody seems to recognize him at work and his mother is so pissed that you would think he wrecked the car, or something.
Only Johnny's sister believes in him. In fact, she's the only person who has really been speaking to him. Oh, and there's this dramatic scene with the ring, and a totally unexpected--because it was original--twist where... well...
Five years later, Shyamalan gets nominated for an Academy Award for Best "Original" Screenplay.
Hell, considering the work he's done since then, it might pay for him to get some more Are You Afraid of the Dark episodes on DVD (it had a nice run of seven seasons) and see what else he can dig up.
Also, it's worth noting that "The Tale of the Dream Girl" aired on March 26 1994, which means Shyamalan had to be at least 23-years old during that life-changing Saturday night he was at home watching SNICK
There's enough cinematic gold in this season alone to keep Shyamalan busy for decades.

Situational Hitting is Stupid
I've seen it compared to The Last Compass and Eragon. Two movies that were supposed to be part of the series, destroyed the source material and did so poorly that plans for sequels were cancelled.
"The players make the manager, it's never the other way." - Sparky Anderson
I've heard the source material for "Airbender" is really good, though. I was too old by about 7 or so years to have caught this when it was first on, but virtually everyone I know (mostly younger friends and friends of my younger sister) loves it and was really excited for this movie. I was planning on giving the show a watch at some point on Netflix-instant just to see what it's all about, but I'm significantly less enthused about that prospect than I was before the movie.
I guess the bottom line is that tween-fiction is tough to do right. For every "Harry Potter" that does things right, there's about a dozen that bomb.
Championships Matter.
24 Years and Counting...
We watched Golden Compass, too. Wow, that was bad. But I had not read the source material and had no idea what was going on. That movie was all over the place and may be the worst movie I've ever sat through.
Harry Potter and Narnia seemed to get the right balance between source material and movie.

Through Self A1C Testing, New Monitor Enables Diabetes Management Between Physician Visits
TARRYTOWN, N.Y., June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Bayer Diabetes Care announced today the launch of A1CNow(R) SELFCHECK, a new A1C monitor that enables people with diabetes to check their A1C level at home. Measurement of A1C provides an average assessment of blood sugar levels over the past three months -- and is an indicator of how well diabetes is being managed. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently cleared Bayer's A1CNow SELFCHECK which enables patients to more closely watch their A1C level in between healthcare provider visits so they may modify their diet and exercise, or have a more informed discussion with their healthcare provider based on the results.
A1CNow SELFCHECK, which is now available without a prescription and through leading online pharmacies, provides at-home results within five minutes, has an easy-to-use design and delivers lab accuracy. Measuring A1C levels is important for consistent diabetes management, as even a one-percent reduction in A1C reduces the risk of serious complications by 40 percent(1).
"A1C testing is an important measure of long-term diabetes management, however, some patients will skip having their A1C tested because they're worried about what their healthcare provider will say if their A1C levels are not good," said Steve Edelman, MD, founder and director, Taking Control of Your Diabetes. "A1CNow SELFCHECK is a new tool that allows people with diabetes to test their A1C level in the comfort and privacy of their own home, to get the information they need to manage their disease in-between healthcare provider visits."
At the healthcare provider's office patients can be tested with Bayer's A1CNow+ monitor, which provides results within five minutes, enabling physicians to evaluate their patients' overall diabetes control and discuss lifestyle and treatme

From Black Box to Legos: Democratizing Behavioral Analytics
by Steve Smith on Jan 29, 5:02 PM
Back in the day... Yeah, here I go again, waxing nostalgic for those early days of behavioral targeting when someone like me found it a lot easier to cover the field. Interview Bill Gossman at Revenue Science and Dave Morgan at Tacoda. Grab a few minutes with someone at Dow Jones or About.com -- and bam you had a feature story on that "new black art" of behavioral targeting.

Rest Assured, Citizen: Privacy Gets a RoboCop
by Steve Smith on Jan 25, 10:00 AM
If everyone wants self-regulation with teeth -- self-regulation that convinces skeptical privacy advocates and the FTC that the industry can be trusted not to cut corners, exploit loopholes or cast a blind eye on violators -- then it needs a really smart RoboCop. Former About.com CEO and head of Better Advertising Scott Meyer says he has a plan, but it really is as hard as it looks. "This stuff is super-complex," he quipped after walking me through some of the technical gymnastics necessary to track and report on ad network and publisher compliance.

Interested? Personalization Requires Collaboration
by Steve Smith on Jan 15, 3:16 PM
Personalization has always been a very tough nut to crack. Generally, most of us like the idea of a highly customized feed of information, but we would rather not have to engage in all of the form-filling and box-ticking it requires at most content sites.

Behavioral Targeting Meets Attribution Management
by Laurie Sullivan on Jan 6, 12:45 PM
Dotomi will soon begin to offer an advanced advertising campaign attribution service it has been testing for the past year. The service puts the last-click method to rest and relies on finding the exact value contributed by each piece of media used in a campaign, such as display ads and paid search. It also ties into the company's behavioral targeting service.

A multitude of searing sights crowd the spectator's gaze at the bedazzling and uncanny theater installation Sleep No More. Your sense of space and depth---already compromised by the half mask that audience members must don---is further blurred as you wend through more than 90 discrete spaces, ranging from a cloistral chapel to a vast ballroom floor. Directors Felix Barrett and Maxine Doyle, of the U.K. troupe Punchdrunk, have orchestrated a true astonishment, turning six warehouse floors and approximately 100,000 square feet into a purgatorial maze that blends images from the Scottish play with ones derived from Hitchcock movies---all liberally doused in a distinctly Stanley Kubrick eau de dislocated menace. An experiential, Choose Your Own Adventure project such as this depends on the pluck and instincts of the spectator. You can follow the mute dancers from one floor to the next, or wander aimlessly through empty spaces. I chose the latter, discovering a room lined with empty hospital beds; a leafless wood in which a nurse inside a thatched cottage nervously checks her pocket watch; an office full of apothecary vials and powders; and the ballroom, forested with pine trees screwed to rolling platforms (that would be Birnam Wood). A Shakespearean can walk about checking off visual allusions to the classic tragedy; the less lettered can just revel in the freaky haunted-house vibe. The only caveat I would offer is to attend Sleep No More fully rested: You need your wits about you. All the same, stumbling groggily up and down staircases and around darkened hallways gives the night the sludgy, abstracted aura of a nightmare. But is it your bad dream, or have you slipped inside Macbeth's?—David Cote Follow David Cote on Twitter: @davidcoteRead more

Napier: Yeah, I didn't do it on my own, I can tell you that much. I got about a handful of guys that pushed me to get to where I am now. I'm just so happy that they were able to do that.
"I mean, it was tough. Just like any other neighborhood, there's always people that's going to compete with you. It was tough. But they allowed me to understand and see what I can be.
"From when I was young, 8 years old, little kid running on the court during halftime shooting basketballs, to me right now in front of you guys who continue to push me. Like I said, it's a special feeling."
Q. Born in Roxbury?
Napier: "Yeah, Roxbury."
Q. You had said you felt you were the best point guard in the draft, and after all you proved at UConn, but it ended up being a handful of guys went ahead of you anyway. Does that put the chip back on your shoulder going into this?
Napier: "No, the chip never leaves my shoulder. It will never leave my shoulder. That's what makes me who I am. And I was saying that not to belittle any other point guards. There's a reason why they're here. But I was just saying that because that's who I am.
"I wouldn't be Shabazz Napier if I wouldn't have said that. I believe it, and I'm going to prove it. What I always learned was that whatever you put in is what you're going to get out. If I don't put in the work, it's not going to show.
"So there's always a chip on my shoulder to prove to myself that I'm the best, and to do that, I've got to work hard."
