(AURN) -- German based company Adidas received major criticism over the "JS Roundhouse Mid sneakers" which have shackles connected to the rear of the shoe. Many say the concept glorifies the pain associated with slavery while spokespeople at Adidas defended designer Jeremy Scott's vision.

STOCKTON, Calif. – The Stanford sand volleyball team defeated Sacramento State, 3-2, but fell to Pacific, 4-1, Sunday at Ranney Sand Courts in Stockton, Calif. The Cardinal is now 3-8 on the year, while the Hornets drop to 2-8 and the Tigers move to 8-1.
Against Sacramento State, Stanford won at No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 to pick up its third win of the season. Sophomore Madi Bugg and freshman Kelsey Humphreys started things off with a 21-13, 21-14 win over Lauren Aikels and Chelcy Motes at No. 3.

Social media users took to Twitter and Instagram last night, Monday, May 5, to blast Roy Hibbert, the 7' 2" center for the Indiana Pacers, after he recorded zero points and zero rebounds in last night's NBA playoff game against the Washington Wizards.
Hibbert had struggled in the previous series against the Atlanta Hawks, but his play seemed to be making a rebound in game seven of that series when he scored 13 points and recorded seven rebounds. However, the glimmer of hope for Hibbert returning to his NBA All-Star form seemed to fade away last night after 18 minutes of play netted the big man only one assist in the stat box.
Twitter user's reactions to Hibbert's game one stat line ranged from surprise, to frustration, to downright embarrassment. Former NBA star, Gilbert Arenas was one of the more vocal Hibbert bashers last night, posting a Jeopardy-esque board to his Instagram page that read: "Despite being an 7' 2" starting center, this "All-Star" is averaging 1.7 rebounds in April." A burn that received over 4,000 "likes" on Instagram and quickly trended on Twitter.
Another former NBA star, Tracy McGrady, posted a tweet that read: "Me and Roy Hibbert had the same amount of points and rebounds tonight." That tweet received almost 20,000 retweets.
And, while some of the tweets regarding Hibbert were brutally funny, for instance one user reported that Hibbert recorded a "season high 17 high fives", some tweets were brutally honest. For instance, sports website, sbnation.com, posted a tweet earlier today showing that, statistically, Roy Hibbert is having the worst postseason for a player over seven feet tall in NBA history.
The tweets about Hibbert are still pouring in today, but the attitude of the messages on social media have shifted from angry and/or funny to serious, with many questioning whether or not Hibbert should start game two against the Wizards.
Pacers.com writer, Scott Agness, reported on Twitter that power forward, David West, had a post-game conversation with Hibbert that was behind closed doors, but reportedly very heated. Agness had also reported earlier in the evening that David West was publicly frustrated with Hibbert during the post-game media time, and that West had cut his allotted time with the media short for the first time in memory in order to have a conversation with Roy.
While the majority of users on social media feel the 7'2" big man should be benched for game two of the series, Pacers coach Frank Vogel has not signified his decision one way or the other.
If you were the coach of the Indiana Pacers, would you start or sit Hibbert? Leave a comment below and let us know what you think.

In my experience as a trainer, losing weight and building chiseled abs are two top goals for most people. They make these points clear during the first fitness assessment.
I'm good with those goals in general. How you go about reaching those goals---that's usually the sticking points.
While pounds on the scale may be your primary concern, my main focus will be on how much body fat you have. Why? Your health comes first. Narrowed downed further, I'm concerned with how much belly fat you have.
As a general rule, your waist-to-height ratio should be below 50%. This means if you are 70 inches tall, your waist should measure below 35 inches. For belly fat measurements, your waist is measured at the belly button.
According to the International Journal of Obesity, belly fat increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, diabetes and premature death. This is mainly due to the dangerous visceral fat located in the abdomen and vital organs, such as the liver. It can also infiltrate your muscles and heart. Even if you are skinny, you can have visceral fat. Some call this skinny-fat. The technical term is normal weight obese.
Here are 6 things you should be more concerned with than 6-pack abs:
1. Improve your overall health. Do you know your health numbers such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels and blood fat levels? You may need to schedule that doctor's visit for a full physical.
2. Adopt a healthy, managed meal plan that you can maintain. This will include trial and error because the same food item can have a different effect on two people.
3. Develop and/or maintain healthy lifestyle habits. This is really common sense but often neglected. You can have normal body weight and be unhealthy.
4. Do regular strength training and interval cardio sessions to build muscle mass and burn body fat. If you want tight, 6-pack abs, you must take a total body approach to your fitness program. Doing 500 ab crunches every day won't give you what you want.
5. What is your total body fat percentage and where are you fat? Your trainer will take your measurements during your initial visit. Regular body fat measurements will tell you if your body is changing to lean which is the key to keeping the weight off for good.
6. You have postural problems that will lead to injuries, such as low back pain. Your trainer will identify them for you along with a program to correct them.
Since nutrition is so critical for you to have any long-term success with health, fat loss and weight loss, you need to focus on building foundational eating habits.
Your body's metabolism needs all 3 macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats, proteins) to operate properly. So, diets that are very low in carbohydrates or fats will not help your body in the long-term.
And, starvation diets are always off limits. They will ultimately leave you fatter and frustrated.
Set your daily calorie intake based on your basal metabolic rate, your activity level and your goals. This way, you won't eat too much or too little. Maintaining the right amount of calorie deficit on most days (burning more calories than you consume) is the key to burning fat and losing weight.
And, here are some general eating tips to help control your calories and burn fat:
a. Eat small meals every 3-4 hours. Eat mainly whole, natural foods with one ingredient—the food itself.
b. Eat protein with each meal for satiety and muscle repair/building.
c. Eat 25-35 grams of fiber each day for satiety and health.
d. Limit sugary foods and drinks.
e. Limit processed foods, fast foods and foods in a box or bag.
f. Drink alcohol in moderation because it increases appetite and limits fat burning.
g. Drink plenty of water every day. It will help you eat less and help your body function better. Drink about half your weight in water every day. So, if you weigh 140 pounds, drink 70 ounces of water each day.
h. Get enough deep sleep each night (7-9 hours). This helps regulate hormones and appetite. Growth hormone is especially important for muscle building.
Above all, don't look for a quick fix to your weight problems. It will never work. That's how you build your chiseled abs!
Here's a FREE Bodyweight Workout Book and Nutrition Book for you!

Baby Boys Are Troublesome, Israeli Study Finds
It may sound like an old wives' tale, but Israeli medical researchers have discovered that the age-old stories about boys being more trouble are true — at least when they are in the womb.
Based on data from more than 66,000 women who gave birth at Israel's Rabin Medical Center between 1995 and 2006, doctors have come to some interesting conclusions about baby boys and girls.
According to professor Marek Glezerman, Dr. Yariv Yogev and Dr. Nir Melamed, who conducted the retrospective study, male fetuses carry "an independent risk factor" for a number of problems during the birthing process and before.
The researchers found that male babies are more at risk of being big than females, and boys are at risk of preterm rupture of membranes, preterm delivery, abnormal fetal heart rate and delivery by vacuum, forceps or cesarean section. Female fetuses, on the other hand, are at risk of breech birth and restricted fetal growth, the study found.
Glezerman, chairman of the Helen Schneider Women's Hospital and deputy director of the Rabin Medical Center, said that the results of the study should not be cause for concern, but that it adds to the more general framework of gender-based medicine, within which he specializes.
"This is an approach that has matured in the past 10 years or so, and now departments in various disciplines are taking a closer view of gender, their diagnosis and what's needed to treat [their patients]," he said.
Founder of the Israeli Society for Gender Based Medicine, Glezerman has presented a number of papers on his team's data and gender-based medicine in general. "We look at cardiology, orthopedics, GI disease — each and every discipline. As a gynecologist, I will look at the obstetrics part [of research] that doesn't deal with females only."
In his recent study, Glezerman and his team found that differences between males and females start before birth. The differences are slight, however.
"There are no immediate implications one can take home that a male fetus will be in a higher risk category during pregnancy. It's an additional parameter [a doctor can consider] while assessing a pregnancy," he says.
"If signs of fetal distress would be included in an assessment, it would be more accurate if the baby was a boy as opposed to a girl." However, he stresses: "The differences are not large and there is no need to panic."

Executive Coach's Tip: Always Share the Spotlight
by Andy Robinson - Mar, 2012
Rare is it that we alone deserve the credit for a job well done. More often than not, success and achievement is the result of a team effort -- the combined effort of a few, of several or many. When you find yourself in the "spotlight," resist the temptation to enjoy it all yourself. Share the spotlight ... share the credit -- openly recognize the contribution of others. Seek them out. Thank them in person. Thank them o...
Executive Coach's Tip: Observe the Leaders You Admire
by Andy Robinson - Mar, 2012
Make it a point to observe the people you respect ... those who really seem to "walk" the leadership talk and inspire others ... those who naturally draw others to them like a magnet ... those who energize and inspire their team mates and followers. Don't necessarily mimic or copy all that they do, but identify what it is they do differently or what things really set them apart -- then, ask yourself what you can learn from...

Three times this week, (and it's only Wednesday), I've had clients say to me, "If only I'd …", or "How am I going to explain this gap in employment?", "What will 'they' think, when they see …?" and other, self-deprecating comments about their career and the choices they've made in their lives.

I just discovered your site, and for the most part love it. I am what I choose to call a militant agnostic.... I don't know about god, and neither does anyone else (I assume that your definition of atheist is that THERE IS NO GOD AND THAT IS A PROVEN FACT, whereas an agnostic doesn't know, and realizes that it is irrelavent to life.I am appalled, however, at your stance vis. alcoholics anonymous. there are many agnostics in a.a., and while individuals in it are often christian, many of us go to great lengths to make sure that aa IS NOT a church. I'm sorry that apparently your editor on recovery had a bad experience somewhere along the line, but that is like saying that cars are evil if you know someone who was injured in a crash... the only phrase that is repeated and underlined in the 12 steps is 'god as we understood him'. and by this point in the steps, 'god' implicitly means ' a power greater than myself'. well, trust me, to a person who is an addict, ANYTHING is more powerful than her/himself, proven by the fact that s/he can't not drink. I don't really see the point of bashing sobriety; you come off like those right-wingers who think that all liberals are flag burning commies.
(ps NO ONE speaks for aa, and anyone who claims to is a fool. there IS no policy in aa dealing w/ god)

Hark! What is that I sense coming down the pike? Could it be --
(I assume that your definition of atheist is that THERE IS NO GOD AND THAT IS A PROVEN FACT,
Guess again!
That's what's so neat about FAQ sections: you don't need to make abjectly embarrassing blunders in all caps unless you want to.
Judging by the totality of the letters written to this Forum by each group, I would say that only two types of people are consistently more bigoted than Fundamentalist Christians, and that's neo-Agnostics and Twelve-Steppers. The main difference is that we have had a couple of cool Steppers write in. Not enough to make a dent, but they do exist. The very existence of neo-Agnostics, however, depends entirely upon the neo-Agnostics' warped misrepresentation of atheism. Given the traditional understanding of atheism that both atheists and traditional agnostics have had since the enlightenment and Huxley respectively, neo-Agnosticism simply vaporizes.
What a way to go: to have your very identity depend entirely upon a false representation of somebody else's self-definition -- false representations of two groups' self-definition, actually, because as the vast majority of atheists do not fit into your little world, neither do the vast majority of theists adhere to the neo-Agnostics' misrepresentations of theism.
That's what happens, I guess, when it suddenly dawns on you that you're the only one, and the entire rest of the world has their heads up their asses. As I said, what a way to go!
I am appalled, however, at your stance vis. alcoholics anonymous.
We also mention in our Guidelines that we have stopped accepting e-mail from Alcoholics who wish to bludgeon us over their own misrepresentation of our position. We don't fit into the narrow little mold that you have created for us, so all that's left for you is to go ahead and hiss and spit and jump up and down and lie and basically try to force us into that little mold nonetheless.
Hey, guess what? The world is a lot bigger than either the bottle or the cork.
I'm sorry that apparently your editor on recovery had a bad experience somewhere along the line, but that is like saying that cars are evil if you know someone who was injured in a crash...
Again, we do not accept or comment on the misrepresentations that Alcoholics make about our position. Anybody who has bothered to actually read what we have to say about Alcoholics Anonymous can plainly see that we're not talking about one bad experience, but rather, a thoroughly corrupt institution that has exploited hundreds of thousands of impaired people while their backs were against the wall.
True, human nature can come alive (occasionally) even in spite of Alcoholics Anonymous's attempts to kill the human spirit and replace that spirit with its own crippling ideology. Dishonest AA members will point to the handful of people who can transcend even the AA atmosphere and walk away from it a bit frayed but otherwise virtually unscathed. Yes, dishonest AA members will point to the five percent who stick around for a year, ignoring the 95 percent who "stop coming back," and then look you straight in the eye and tell you that "It works! See? It worked for these people!" But next time a "newcomer" takes his first-year chip, just speak up and ask about the other 95 percent of last year's newcomers -- Whatever happened to them? -- and see what the "old-timers" start saying about you, both behind your back as well as to your face.
the only phrase that is repeated and underlined in the 12 steps is 'god as we understood him'.
Wrong again!
I can see you making an "innocent mistake" about me (though I doubt that's what happened); however, you have no excuse for making a blunder such as this about AA!
The phrase spells the word God with a capital "G," indicating the name of a person. The "God" which they describe in their literature and on the walls is a "person" who is a "Him" (capital "H") who can be prayed to, a "Him" who will answer those prayers (see Step 6). That is what the AA literature says.
What you describe is, again, a misrepresentation.
First you misrepresent us for the purpose of tarnishing our reputation (without just cause), and then you misrepresent AA for the purpose of making it appear to be something that does not conform to our direct criticism of AA.
I don't really see the point of bashing sobriety;
We don't either, as you can see by what we have written and posted.
So why did you bring it up?
Oh, I get it! You're misrepresenting our position again! Just like virtually ALL the other Twelve Steppers who have written to us before.
It is for this reason that we no longer field tirades and lies from Twelve Steppers. Of all the people from various groups who write to this Forum, the Twelve Steppers have shown themselves to be the group that most consistently lacks candor. Worse, the Steppers have shown themselves more likely to have LIED ABOUT US than any other group. (The neo-Agnostics do run a close second: they're so rare, though, that we hardly ever hear from them.)
Please do not write back. You have made your statement and we have replied to it with ours.

And leave us not forget, the Bohemian Club in Union Square.
And leave us not forget, the Bohemian Club in Union Square.
Well it seems like a long time ago, but the central character in last year's fiasco at the Bohemian Grove is now telling his side of the story in frivolous Vanity Fair.
Poor Senior Contributing Editor Alex Shoumatoff! He feels that "right-wing knucklehead bloggers" and local P.R. man Sam Singer went after him last August by promoting a "humiliating Abu Ghraib portfolio" of detention photos.
Here's one shot of Alex in the clutches of The Owl up in Sonoma County, after he was waterboarded for the 183rd time or something like that:
Anywho, two-thirds of a year later, Alex is telling the whole story on the pages of your favorite summer beach magazine. It's called Bohemian Tragedy and it's a lot to do with trees.
But beware, the Bohemian Club has spies everywhere, so take care before you read up on them or listen to Ralph Nader.
Remember, as the words above Taylor Street say, "Weaving Spiders Come Not Here."
Vanity Fair Senior Contributing Editor Alex Shoumatoff probably wishes he never ran afowl of The Owl.
Just look at him now. Poor little feller.
All are warned by this logo seen on Talyor Street in San Francisco's Union Square. Fair enough:
It looks like nobody else will get in to spy on Bohemian Grove this year. Oh well.
Just what is this tiny figure embedded in the top corner of all one dollar bills in circulation in the United States?
Some people think it's a Great Horned Owl, but others say it's a spider. You can see for yourself but that might strain your eyes. Let's take a look using a Canon Macro Photo MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x lens at five times lifesize:
Not as owly-looking. Here's a closer view:
You'd have to call that a spider. Or a spider/owl. Or a Spowl.
In this age of conspiracy theories, let's assume a secret organization put on our currency a little figure, one that sometimes looks like an owl and sometimes looks like a spider.
Who cares about spiders and owls? The Bohemian Club, that's who.
If you want to learn about that unique organization, check out this bit from Jay Barman (now that's an owl!) of SFist.com.
And check out this scary two-hour movie, Dark Secrets Inside Bohemian Grove, to learn more. We're through the looking glass here, people!
Beware the Spowl.
(IRL, it's just a spider, at best, IMO. But whatever you do, don't read this killjoy's persuasive webpage!)
Here's the warning above the Bohemian Club at 624 Taylor in San Francisco – "Weaving Spiders Come Not Here."
Get ready for Bohemian Grove up in Sonoma County in July – it's like Burning Man for plutocrats. Check it out.

Where-ever you find them,
on active duty, in recreation lounges, at home on leave, honorably discharged or retired,
at work or in college, in VA Hospital waiting rooms and wards, abroad or at home
in the community, or at eternal peace ...
They and their dependents are among the finest men and women on this Earth.
They are Veterans.
Honor the sacrifices they have willingly made in service to country, community and
to fellow veterans.
Military Veterans
is a free communications portal for US Veterans and their dependents.
We veterans know each other well, transcending all services, cultures, races, genders and temporal eras in US Military History. From World War I, World War II, Korea and Viet Nam to Grenada, Iraq, Somalia and Afghanistan, Veterans went into service sharing some of the same ideas. Continual training from boot camp to civilian and civilian universities has since aclimitized us and instilled in every veteran, a common thread of honor, integrity and love of country, a love of humanity. Every veteran is however, more than simply a patriot. We are our own identity, our own culture ... once a vet, always a vet. Our service doesn't end when we leave the military. It only changes context.
And Veterans know life. Their experiences have exposed them to the world in ways that exceed normal cosmopolitan and community influences. Veterans cherish life, but we, all of us, know what it means to lay down life as an untimate sacrifice to the principles of liberty and freedom which are the pillars of our national heritage and beliefs.
This interactive military networking communication, discussion and support web site portal is ours, an online way for us to share our thoughts and continue to gain strength and mutual guidance from each other. It's a way to find out where we need to help each other out, a way to communicate with each other and our loved ones, family, wife, husband, children, friends and supporters. No Military, nation defense or security topic is outside the scope of this site, whether weapons systems, war, history of conflict, ships, tanks, rifles, cannon, missles, aircraft, engagements, battles, fights, tactics, service branches, politics, training, retirement, prisoners, caualties, service awards, rehabilitation, prosthetics, post traumatic stress disorder, stress, home-coming, civilian treatment of veterans, soldiering, family, buddies, chain of command, personal thoughts and so on. Veterans' Assembly is our forum, our portal. Just keep secret and confidential what needs be left secret and confidential, please. Avoid dishonoring or exposing your fellow service people and their units.
The Veterans' Assembly armed forces web application provides a place for veterans, soldiers, sailors, shipmates, marines, airman and their family members, wives, husbands, children, kids, dependents and supporters to freely share their thoughts, experiences, opions, topics and sentiments on issues which effect them, their communities, country and the world. The topics and discussions they might have can be private and secure, limited to groups of chosen member friends. This site is designed to protect freedom of speech for members of the US Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Guard and Reserves, and their friends, dependents and supporters. The assembly site blogs, galleries, messaging and kiosks are for their free use to share amongst themselves in the military service community, to help them support each other and promote themselves in the heavy task of defense, preserving national security and world peace.
Our injured, wounded and disabled, men and women who have sacrificed for their country have a place on Veterans's Assembly, along with those who when returning home, find difficulty in adjusting to civilian life, whether retiring or being discharged. The stage of ware and peace, diplomacy, modern warefare and police actions behind them, veterans can find other veterans here, on Veterans' Assembly. We are never alone. We are Americans among Americans and the politics, terrorism, unrest and upheavals in a continously unstable world remain our concern. And our fellow vets, officers and enlisted, on active duty deployment, whose pride and teamwork are not unlike that which we shared, continues to serve our nation and world peace.
Welcome, fellow vets!

Unregistered Users may be able to vote in polls which may appear on the Website from time to time but are not permitted to otherwise contribute content to the Website.
- Whether you are an Unregistered User or apply to become a Registered User or a Verified Registered User, we reserve the right to ask for proof of your qualification as a Health Professional. Additionally if you have applied to become a Verified Registered User and our verification process reveals that you are not fully registered with a recognised medical regulatory body, the request to become a Verified Registered User will be denied. In the event that your registration with a relevant medical regulatory body for doctors is subsequently revoked, your rights to continue to access and use the Website as a Verified Registered User will cease.
- While we take steps to authenticate Health Professionals' qualifications we cannot guarantee that every Registered User or Verified Registered User on the Website is indeed qualified or a registered practicing doctor or Health Professional.

This evening I was volunteering at an event hosted by our friends at the Historic Gardens. This was one of their wine and (insert name of blooming flower here) events. Tonight, as I am sure you can tell, the event was Wine and Roses. For these events the entire gardens facility has been licenced and patrons can wander the grounds with a glass of Nova Scotia wine in hand. Can you think of a more spectacular landscape to wander with a glass of wine than the rose gardens? More than 2000 rose bushes in the full of their bloom and a nice glass of wine. Add some music and a performance by Musique 400 and you have an almost perfect evening.
All for now,

Fitness veteran Fredrick Hahn learned a long time ago that long-term success in the fitness industry is not based on the size of your facilities or the size of your membership base but, rather, on the quality of your facilities and services. Hahn has practiced that philosophy for the past 16 years as the successful owner/president of Serious Strength Personal Training, a 1000-square foot Slow Burn personal training and rehabilitative exercise center in New York City.
Located in the upper west side of Manhattan in the lower level of an attractive 10-story brick building between Amsterdam & Columbus Avenues just a block away from the famed American Museum of Natural History and two blocks from New York's Central Park, Serious Strength caters to an eclectic client base of local residents, top CEOs, celebrities, bestselling authors, journalists and TV personalities including the likes of Tony Robbins, and actresses Cynthia Nixon, Sandy Duncan, and Marsha Mason, among others.
The facilities are sparkling clean with, seemingly, every inch of usable space designated for purposeful use. The equipment is top-of-the-line MedX, the most technologically advanced fitness, sports and medical/rehabilitation equipment in the world, and Nautilus - all specially re-engineered or "retrofitted" to track muscle and joint function better to encourage faster and superior fitness benefits. Clearly, this is a studio for serious, no-nonsense one-on-one training.
"What we offer is very unique compared to most facilities," explains Hahn. "Our Slow Burn method is a form of slow-speed, high intensity strength training. You are guided by an instructor - always one on one - to reach what we call muscle fatigue or muscle success within 60-90 seconds. The idea is to reach the deep muscle fibers, where the change and benefits actually happen, as opposed to the wear and tear on joints that most strength training routines elicit over time. Clients realize all the benefits they need – from increased strength and stamina to improved bone density to maximized tone and leanness - from our 30 minute, twice-weekly signature sessions. We also provide a strong nutritional component to our program for those clients seeking fat loss as one of their goals. There's no annual membership like at most gyms. You come for individual sessions and you're in and out - and stronger - within 30 minutes."
"We also follow a low carb, paleo approach to nutrition," continues Hahn. "We teach that aerobics and stretching are unnecessary components of fitness if strength training is done regularly and properly and that if you enjoy sports and physical activity, our Slow Burn program will greatly improve anything else you love to do!"
The Slow Burn Method is used by ALL Serious Strength instructors, so an instructor-specific relationship is not necessary to achieve results – clients can train with anyone and expect the same successful outcome. Only two sessions a week are required, and all sessions are charted. Complimentary coffee, tea, and filtered water is provided as part of each training session, and clients enjoy free use of the Inada Massage Chair offering the perfect fusion of ancient shiatsu healing techniques and modern technology.
Hahn began developing his Slow Burn system as a physical therapy aide at the Hospital for Joint Diseases Sports Medicine Center in NYC. In 1994, along with one of New York's leading orthopedic surgeons, he co-founded and directed Metro Sportsmed, a private physical therapy clinic located at New York Methodist Hospital in Brooklyn, New York which now has multiple locations throughout the NYC area.
He is the co-author, along with Drs. Michael and Mary Dan Eades, of The Slow Burn Fitness Revolution, translated into four languages and one of the best-selling fitness books in Random House history. His second book Strong Kids Healthy Kids teaches people that weight lifting is a safe and powerfully effective exercise modality for children.
Serious Strength Personal Training has had its share of critics over the years with its revolutionary Slow Burn Method of training combined with a low carb/paleo diet, but almost two decades of success have proven that critics don't matter very much in the final analysis. Success is in the results.

Everyone has their own memories of James Garner. Be it watching him dazzle on horseback on the silver screen, defend democracy and the American way be it as Wyatt Earp or President Matt Douglas, deliver laugh after laugh with Doris Day, be smitten with Julie Andrews be she a man or a woman, con his way through the Old West as Bret Maverick and then pass the Maverick torch to Mel Gibson, head for the moon as a "Space Cowboy", solve every crime and mystery as Jim Rockford, increase the stock price of Kleenex thanks to a heart-wrenching performance in a Nicholas Sparks adaptation, entertain a whole new generations of fans through animation voicing, or become an indelible part of the advertising world thanks to 300 TV commercials with Mariette "I am not James Garner's wife" Hartley, one thing is for certain: James Garner was "the ultimate gift".
I was fortunate to not only know the on-screen personas of James Garner, but that off-screen as well. It wasn't too long after my arrival in California that legendary stuntman Al Wyatt introduced me to Garner for the first time. Al had known Garner for decades, working with him in both tv and film. I remember it well, especially given that I met Randolph Scott at the same time. The smell of the coffee, the gentility of both men, but especially the affability of Garner and his "everyman" quality. Garner and Scott were both as kind as kind could be to this gal from Philly.
It was also Wyatt who introduced a young Neil Summers to Garner and the world of westerns and stunts with the film "Duel at Diablo". Summers himself would go on to become another legend in the stunt community as well as a noted western historian. Lucky for me, he has also proven to be a decades long dear friend who not only provided me with early introductions into the industry, but together with other "legends" regaled me - and still regales me - with stories of their early days in the business and the stories told them by and about guys like James Garner. But when it comes to James Garner, the one thread that always rang true even more than his professionalism and dedication to his craft, was his loyalty and kindness to his friends and colleagues.
Just the tip of the iceberg, but some examples of James Garner, the man:
When Garner signed to do "Maverick" for Warner Bros back in 1957, although Garner did many of his own stunts over the years, Roydon Clark was onboard as his stunt double and no matter where or when the next call came, remained his double for the next 40 years in everything from "Duel at Diablo" (Garner's first western after "Maverick") to "Support Your Local Sheriff" to "Sunset" and, of course, Garner's other TV western series, "Nichols" and "Bret Maverick".
Stuntman Dean Smith has long attributed his career to James Garner, going back to their days in the Army together. After both left the Army and Smith moved to California, it was James Garner who helped Smith get his first film work in "Born Reckless" alongside Jeff Richards and Mamie Van Doren.
Victor Mature's stunt double, Fred Carson, was always in demand; so much so, in fact, that he often had to turn down doubling Mature because he was booked on other films (including MGM's legendary "Million Dollar Mermaid" with Esther Williams). One of Carson's biggest roles, "Skin Game" came thanks to James Garner. Knowing Carson's prowess with a whip, it was Garner who insisted on him for the film and the role of Sam Bass.
Tales of James Garner's generosity and friendship are countless but quietly kept secrets. Humility is one of his hallmarks.
A frequent visitor myself on the set of 1988's "Sunset" with Garner, Bruce Willis, Malcolm McDowell, Kathleen Quinlan, Dermot Mulroney, my local bar buddy M. Emmet Walsh, and a gang of crew and stunt friends, it was Garner who set the tone. Although Willis was the hot ticket of the day thanks to "Moonlighting" and his much anticipated transition to film ("Sunset" opened three months prior to "Die Hard") and had the most exuberant fun-filled and free-wheeling attitude on the set of "Sunset", the daily tone clearly came from Garner. Although he never acted like a "star", Garner's legend filled the air with an aura that you knew you were experiencing someone special. He laughed, he chatted, he always had a "hello" for everyone, he was on his mark, knew his lines and was beyond gracious with all. He was as kind to the guys at the craft services table or the folks picking up flying paper trash as he was to camera pullers or director Blake Edwards.
I saw first-hand the level of James Garner's kindness through a completely different set of eyes when his long-time script supervisor Gillian Murphy was severely injured in a non-work related slip and fall on a golf course. Knowing all too well from his own stunt work the toll that physical injury takes on the body and the mobility challenges one faces with orthopaedic pinning and fusing, Garner was determined to help Murphy keep working. In the midst of shooting the "Rockford" tv movies of the 1990's, it was Garner who had a location truck outfitted with a lift and flat bed anchor to accommodate Murphy with first a wheelchair, then crutches, then orthopaedic boot as she could no longer "step up" due to her permanent injury. Garner was as equally worried about her physical well-being as her mental well-being and self-worth.
It has always been a treat whenever I have had the chance to run into Garner, be it behind the camera, on a press line, at a premiere, on a set, at an event or in a coffee shop. He showed me a lot about kindness, generosity of spirit and class. Having the chance to have known him even on a limited basis is truly, an ultimate gift in my life for which I shall be forever grateful.
