Big shows, and a big-hair show, dot the local performance arts calendar in November. Here's a look at promising productions and concerts through Thanksgiving, in chronological order of first performances:
"Irena's Vow": Acacia Theatre's drama is based on the real story of Irena Gut Opdyke, a young Polish Catholic pressed into domestic service for a German major during World War II. She harbored a dozen Jews in the coal cellar of the major's home to protect them from the Nazis. Coincidentally, this is the second production this season of the drama; Renaissance Theaterworks and Cardinal Stritch are finishing their collaborative run of the show Nov. 4. Acacia's production opens 8 p.m. Nov. 9, runs through Nov. 18. Concordia University Wisconsin's Todd Wehr Auditorium, 12800 N. Lake Shore Drive, Mequon. Tickets: $16, $13 for seniors, students and full-time clergy. Call (414) 744-5995 or visit acaciatheatre.com.
"Rock of Ages": If you're one of those Milwaukeeans who didn't stop believin' that '80s rock was the best thing ever, if you can't fight this feeling, if you want to know what love is, then start your final countdown for this touring jukebox musical about a big-city rocker and a small-town girl. Allow plenty of time to get your big hair ready. Opens 8 p.m. Nov. 13; through Nov. 18. Marcus Center's Uihlein Hall, 929 N. Water St. Tickets: $40.45-$88.95, subject to change.

well usually when I travel in a long distance like this one, the flight service provides everything for the passenger, like from Madrid to casablanca I didn't have any breakfast, from Casablanca to São Paulo I only had one big meal. The plane doesn't have a Tv screen to each seat so we couldn't watch a movie or something like that, come on its a such long journey. I asked for chocolate they didn't have anything. The big problem that I'm having right now is my baggages are still in Casablanca/Marrocos which I left all my clothes, I am so angry about it.
Would be great to have the flight a little bit late morning to reduce the waiting time for the connection flight.
One has to go through customs twice, the Cassablanca airport is not organized well, and there is not enough time to make connection. Lost my bag and have not heard from them

Thank you for reading and good luck with your research.
Looking for a sibling possibly born in the '50 or '60 in or near Fort Louis USA. He would have been born to H. Guy from Canada. Our family has been searching for him.
He wrote a letter to a relative in California about 8-10 years ago which we where just recently made aware of.
In hope to make contact
E. Guy
Good morning Keith Northington, thank you for the correction
in the name of Fort Lewis, in the Western USA. That is correct,
Hastings Guy was stationed at the Fort Lewis Base in tie early
1950's. I just recently made a new family member and found out
she received a letter from a gentle men that said he was the son
of Hastings Guy about 10 years. But because she didn't know her
family until now she didn't know where to turn with the letter. So we
hope he or his family will see a posting and respond.
We have a family tree in hoping we can find him..
Thank you Elaine Guy
Very new to all of this, so sorry if I'm sounding crazy! I'm going backwards on my family tree, getting a few dead ends, or places that other family members trees are filling in my gaps, but I can't find any secondary information to back up the lineage. Can anyone verify the following lineages?
Letty Durham 1744-1843 > William Howard 1816-1856 > Benjamin Howard 1836-? > Nathan Howard ?-? > Bertha Ellen Howard 1886-1930 - I'm also looking for any information on Letty Durham's parents/grandparents/etc.
Lewis Throckmorton Sr. 1745-1798 > Lewis Throckmorton Jr. 1773-1858 > Joseph T. Throckmorton 1820-1891 > Thomas Throckmorton 1864-1927 (finding multiple entries for that could be him, including R. Thomas/Thomas R. and different dates of birth) > Charlotte Alice Throckmorton 1890-1960 > Herbert Harold Stevens 1922-1978
Last lineage is a Stevens name that is sometimes showing as interchangeable with Stephens:
Gilbert Stevens 1759-1852 > Andrew Stevens ?-1860 > Samuel Soloman Stevens 1833-1887 > Jasper Stevens 1873-1939 > Herbert Harold Stevens 1922-1978

Press release from Marketwire
Lundin Reports 2012 Reserve & Resource Estimate and Exploration Update
Tuesday, September 04, 2012
Lundin Reports 2012 Reserve & Resource Estimate and Exploration Update02:00 EDT Tuesday, September 04, 2012TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Sept. 4, 2012) -Lundin Mining Corporation (TSX:LUN)(OMX:LUMI) ("Lundin" or the "Company") today reported its Mineral Resource and Reserve estimates as at June 30, 2012. Reserves and Resources Highlights Exploration programs have been successful in replacing mined material with Mineral Resources at all key operations. Copper contained in Measured and Indicated Resources at Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan have increased by 8% and 12%, respectively. Zinc contained in Measured and Indicated Resources at both Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan stayed essentially the same as 2011 despite depletion from record production levels in Sweden. Surface exploration drilling at the Semblana deposit has increased the total Inferred Resource by 0.5 Mt to 7.1 Mt at 2.8% copper and 26 g/t silver. Further expansion of the Semblana resource will require exploration primarily from underground and an internal exploration ramp is advancing from existing underground workings to facilitate this with a high priority. At Tenke Fungurume, as per our previously filed (28 February 2012) press release, Measured and Indicated Resources increased by 3% for copper and 9% for cobalt. Proven and Probable Reserves increased by 6% for copper and 21% for cobalt above the prior year's estimates, for which Lundin's attributable share through equity ownership is 24%. The change at Neves-Corvo, between the ratio of Measured to Indicated Mineral Resources is the result of a review of the classification methodology to align with accepted practice. The new methodology is considered to better reflect the confidence in the geological modeling and grade estimation and results in no change to the Measured plus Indicated contained metal total. Historically, additional geological information gained from further infill drilling and actual stope development has confirmed and often exceeded initial Mineral Resource and Reserve estimates. Mineral Reserves at Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan have been reported using variable Net Smelter Return (NSR) values rather than the fixed cut off grades used in the past, for a more consistent assessment of profit margin potential from zone to zone throughout the mine. The tables attached to this release summarize the Mineral Reserve and Resource estimates for each of the Company's mines as of June 30, 2012. Mineral Reserves and Resources for the Tenke Fungurume copper/cobalt mine, in which Lundin Mining has a 24% equity interest, are reported as at December 31, 2011.Commenting on the June 2012 reserve and resource estimates, Mr. Paul Conibear, CEO of Lundin Mining, said, "We are pleased that the exploration programs at both Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan once again have more than replaced mineral resources mined during the past year at both locations. Now that our main access ramp into Neves-Corvo's Lombador South deposit has reached a critical depth that has allowed commencement of copper mining, we are able to advance important underground exploration drilling in this area, targeting further expansion of copper resources." Exploration Update - Neves-Corvo A significant scale deep drilling program is advancing at Neves-Corvo with six rigs progressively testing various targets within relatively close proximity to existing mining operations. The following provides a progress report on this drill program:Semblana Copper-Silver DepositA total of 28,524 meters in 29 diamond drill holes, including 25 parent holes and 4 wedged holes, has now been completed at the Semblana Deposit, extending the zone of copper-silver mineralization that was first discovered in September 2010. An Inferred Resource for the Semblana Copper-Silver Deposit has been expanded to over 7.1 million tonnes at a grade of 2.8% copper and 26 g/t silver and is reported in accordance with the definitions in the Canadian National Instrument 43-101 (NI43-101).Potential for further increases in this copper-silver resource is considered very good. It has been concluded that the higher grade copper mineralization cannot be completely delineated by the current surface drill rig program as deep drilling intercept spacing is not sufficiently close to conclusively define the extent of the resource. Therefore, a high priority underground exploration drift is advancing and when at sufficient depth, this will enable exploration drilling for further resource definition.In addition to an expanded copper-silver resource, results from this year's surface exploration of Semblana has indicated the potential for developing a silver/gold-enriched polymetallic (Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag-Au) resource, within the Semblana South Extension Zone that has been the focus of surface drilling this year. This polymetallic mineralization is principally hosted by massive sulphides and is the same as previously reported sulphide mineralization located separately to the northwest of the current Semblana copper-silver resource. Within the Semblana South Extension area a continuous zone of locally very thick, silver/gold-enriched polymetallic sulphide mineralization has been delineated that extends a current minimum 267 meters in strike length (distance between PSP44 and PSS42A intercepts) as defined by the following drill intercepts:DrillholeFrom (m)To (m)Interval (m)Cu (%)Zn (%)Pb (%)Ag (gpt)Au (ppm)PSP44847.90915.0067.100.262.620.69****incl.888.00904.0016.000.274.050.4066.13**incl.910.00915.005.000.136.040.9352.000.14PSQ42A872.60879.106.500.954.801.1387.74**incl.872.60875.502.901.664.930.7790.45**PSQ42904.30924.6020.300.602.800.72****incl.904.30906.502.201.081.390.3266.455.14incl.920.50924.604.100.4110.002.6157.631.64plus928.50931.803.302.900.470.1764.850.99plus936.00918.104.22.1680.550.2245.13**PSR42*931.40945.0013.601.902.640.2555.701.15including935.00940.005.004.603.080.2464.701.47plus948.00952.004.002.300.440.1522.400.10PSS42A902.25908.856.600.558.332.31117.20**incl.902.259041.750.643.700.3690.141.64* Results as previously reported in news release of December 15, 2011. ** Total assays pending. True thicknesses are 95-100% of reported interval.Surface drilling with one rig is continuing to explore the potential for an economic polymetallic resource both within the Semblana South Extension area and to the northwest of the current copper-silver resource.Monte Branco Copper DiscoveryAs reported in the July 25 press release of this year, the focus of surface exploration drilling has shifted to the Monte Branco copper discovery area, located approximately 1.2 kilometers to the south of Semblana and just west of the tailings management facility ("TMF"). A total of 24,726 meters in 27 diamond drill holes, including 25 parent holes and 2 wedged holes, using four drill rigs has now been completed in the Monte Branco area. Exploration has focused on step-out drilling from discovery hole SCA26 which intercepted a 32.5 meter thick section of strong stockwork-type copper sulphides grading 2.2% Cu including a higher grade interval of 11.0 meters grading 3.9% Cu as first reported on December 15, 2011.Monte Branco represents a completely new center of strong, concentrated sulphide mineralization, currently covering approximately 250 m x 200 m in area, including both massive and stockwork type sulphides. So far, significant copper sulphide mineralization has been restricted to stockwork type mineralization although minor copper sulphides are also common within the massive sulphides. These sulphides have been intercepted at approximate depths of between 540 m and 700 m below surface. The potential for developing new copper resources in this area is considered very good.While many holes have not yet received complete assay results, initial highlights include the following*:Hole SCA26A intercepted 4.0 meters grading 7.28% Cu, Hole SBA26B intercepted 9.0 meters grading 2.51% Cu and 5.0 meters grading 2.23% Cu, Hole SDA26 intercepted 9.0 meters grading 2.26% Cu and 10.0 meters grading 1.98% Cu, Hole SBA26A intercepted 16.0 meters grading 2.26% Cu * Silver assays pending.Prior to the construction of the TMF, an exploration drill hole intercepted 6.6 meters of massive sulphides grading 5.3% zinc, below the current TMF location. Exploration drilling at Monte Branco and also immediately to the northeast of the TMF, in addition to preliminary results of a 3D seismic "undershoot" survey of the TMF area and the historic drilling, all indicate that the potential beneath the TMF for significant copper-zinc sulphide mineralization is excellent. A program for drilling beneath the TMF is being planned and is expected to commence in Q4 once interpretative results of the undershoot seismic survey have been received and drill rig access on the TMF has been organized.Neves-Corvo Near-Mine ExplorationIn addition to the exploration and resource development work being carried out at Semblana and Monte Branco, a program of target development and drill-testing has been progressing. A seismic reflector target, Lapa, located immediately northeast of the TMF, is currently being drill-tested. Two holes have so far been completed with a narrow interval of strong copper stockwork mineralization intercepted in one hole. A second phase of 3D and 2D seismic surveying has been completed as extensions to the northwest and southeast of the 2011 survey area, and includes the undershoot survey of the TMF; preliminary interpretative results are pending. It is planned within the 2012 budget to test the highest priority targets developed from the seismic survey before year end.A table of drill results and plan maps displaying drill hole locations, the Semblana resource outline, the Monte Branco discovery and exploration targets may be found on the Company's website www.lundinmining.com.Sampling and Analytical ProtocolNQ sized drill core was logged, cut in half with a diamond saw and sampled by Company personnel at its facilities in Portugal at the Neves‐Corvo mine. Prior to the 2011 campaign mineralized intervals are analyzed for a suite of elements including Zn, Cu, Pb and Sn at the Neves‐Corvo laboratory using XRF methods. For the 2011 campaign mineralized intervals were analyzed for a multi‐element suite using ICP methods at ALS Chemex Laboratory, Vancouver. For the 2012 campaign, sample analysis was conducted at the Neves‐Corvo laboratory using XRF and ICP methods.QA/QCA standardised protocol of quality control sample insertion using certified reference material, blanks and duplicates are used to monitor the quality of the sampling process and assay results.Qualified PersonsJose Mario Castello Branco, EurGeol, General Manager of Exploration, Iberia, for Lundin Mining Exploration is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43‐101 and has reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this release regarding the near‐mine resource exploration drilling, including the Semblana delineation drilling, at the Neves-Corvo mine in southern Portugal.About Lundin MiningLundin Mining Corporation is a diversified Canadian base metals mining company with operations in Portugal, Sweden, Spain and Ireland, producing copper, zinc, lead and nickel.

The campaign will include Facebook activity, club-specific communications and Lucozade digital branding on perimeter boards across Premier League club stadiums.
The activity directs football fans to a dedicated page on the Lucozade site, www.lucozade.com/fansfives, where they can apply to be part of a five-a-side team to represent one of the 19 participating Premier League football clubs.
Shortlisted fans will be required to show their commitment to the sport over Facebook.
The three best team entries will create a Facebook page for themselves. The page with the most "likes" will go through to the tournament.
Alex Saunders, senior brand manager, Lucozade, said" "Lucozade Fans Fives is an exciting campaign that will allow us to leverage our elite football associations to engage fans in a meaningful way.
"The focus on the digital elements of the campaign reflects a shift in the way football fans interact with the clubs they support".
Lucozade Sport has individual sponsorship deals with Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool, and is the official drinks supplier to the Barclays Premier League.
Last year, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) cleared a late-night TV ad for a Lucozade energy drink, after claims it was "irresponsible" because it appeared to suggest it could help drivers avoid accidents.

Intentional Grounding
Texas St adium collapsed on April 11 in a well-executed implosion detonated at 7:08 a.m. that ended a storied 37-year career as the home of the Dallas Cowboys. In less than 30 seconds and before more than 20,000 witnesses, a spectacular series of blasts from 2,715 lbs. of explosives reduced the 65,675-seat arena to rubble.

I liked this book a lot. It had great characters and a
gripping plot. The "freezing" was a little freaky because
it didn't seem real, but the book was fun to read. This
book also had great relationships between the characters.
My favorite character was Taz because he was just that laid
back kind of guy - funny and a wonderful friend to Floe.
The difficult situations Floe was put through were real
enough that I could put myself in her place and relate to
her feelings. This made it a better read for me. The only
thing I did not like was the fact that they didn't say what
happened to Floe, Sunny, and their parents after they get
unfrozen. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a
good story and a little Sci-Fi. I would also recommend it
to people between ages 10-18.
Rating (0 - 10 scale): 8
Reviewer Age: 13
Reviewer City, State and Country: Shippensburg,
It sounds heavy, but it is actually a very light read.
A comedy suitable for middle school and high school
readers, Popsicle has plenty of laugh-out-loud licks.
Though there are spots of science, the book is set not too
far in the future and is more about family and friends than
sci-fi and experiments. The book's central plot -- saving
the cyrogenics center where her parents are, er, residing
comfortably -- makes the story more about social action,
and the main character's main concerns are fitting in,
being accepted by her new classmates, and reconnecting her
family. These universal themes, funny bits and hip Southern
California setting are sure to make this Popsicle
irresistible to teens.

In this course, photographer and author Ben Long details the features, controls, and options in the Nikon D800 digital SLR. The course begins with an overview of what a digital SLR is and a tour of the camera's basic components. Ben then discusses the camera's basic operation: changing lenses, navigating the menus, shooting in automatic mode, reviewing and managing photos on the camera's LCD screen, and transferring photos to a computer.
Next, the course introduces more advanced exposure options: program mode, exposure compensation, ISO adjustments, and more. After Ben briefly defines each option, he shows how to adjust it using the camera's controls.
Ben also discusses white balance options, advanced metering and autofocus controls, flash, live view, and video shooting. The course ends with a chapter on maintenance, including sensor- and camera-cleaning and care tips.
That big LCD screen on the back of your camera is a great photographic aid: you can use it to review your images in Live View mode; you can actually use it as a viewfinder. But there are some things to understand about it. It is not an accurate way of assessing tone or color in your image. So if you're trying to figure out if something is over- or underexposed, just looking at that image on the back of your viewfinder is not the way to do it. Similarly, if you're trying to decide if colors are accurate or if you have got a level of saturation that you like, still don't want to go with the LCD.
One thing to understand is that the camera might be brightening up the image that it puts to the LCD to make it easier to view in brighter light, and that can cause a shift in tone and color. So we never use the LCD as a really accurate way of assessing anything other than composition. Now, you can change the brightness of the LCD, and this is a good thing to do if you find yourself in direct sunlight and your screen looks washed out; brightening it up can make a big difference. Similarly, if you're shooting in a dark room, a performance or a museum or something like that, you may want to turn the brightness down.
Now they are some tools that make the LCD screen a little more useful for judging both tone and color, and you can learn about those by studying your histogram. For now, here's how you can change the brightness. You can change the brightness of the LCD screen on the back of the D800. Go into your menu, into the Setup menu--that's the one with the wrench--and scroll down to Monitor brightness. You can see my Monitor is set to +5. That is not the default value. To make this more legible for you, for the video, I've gone ahead and dialed that up to +5.
If I come in here, I've got a couple of options. I can set it to Auto and you should have immediately seen it dimmed there. This is the camera sensing the ambient light and trying to choose a setting that's appropriate. What's nice about Auto is that as you move into a darker setting, the screen will automatically dim; as you move into bright sunlight, it should automatically brighten up. Typically, in the brighter lighting you want a brighter display, and in darker lighting you want a little dimmer so it doesn't blind you. You can also just go right in here to Manual and dial this up or down from -5 to +5.
That's a little dim, so I'm going to put that back up where it was. So Auto is probably the best way to go, but if you're finding that in your particular circumstance you need a change, then just go ahead and do a manual adjustment. Adjusting the Monitor brightness is also a way of conserving battery if you find that your battery is running low and you still need to get some shots out.

Mitt Romney's Childhood In Pictures
In archived photos newly released by LIFE, baby Romney sits on his father's knee and serves his mother birthday cake.
George and Mitt Romney, who would have been 11 years old, in 1958. Not originally published in LIFE.
A caption from the March 1958 issue of LIFE: "On desk George Romney keeps prehistoric animals to remind him of favorite 'big-car' analogy. 'Some dinosaurs had a 70-foot wheelbase and huge fuel consumption. The principal factor in their extinction was the fact that they got so big they were unable to live.'"

It's said that luck favors the prepared. When it comes to job interviews, being well prepared is often what sets the best applicants apart from the rest. Here are 12 of my favorite job interview tips to make your next one go smoothly.
1. When possible, know the names and faces of the team you're interviewing with; consider researching them on the company's website, or on LinkedIn. Identifying shared experiences and interests helps set the stage for an easy, casual conversation during the interview.
2. Learn about the company's products or services, and how they work. How does the company make money? How does it present itself by way of branding, marketing, and advertisement?

This year lynda.com is the proud season sponsor of UCSB's Arts & Lectures series, and we were privileged to have one of their lecturers, Kathryn Schulz, participate in a personal interview at our facility before her public appearance through the UCSB program.
Ms. Schulz is an award-winning journalist whose freelance magazine work has appeared in such publications as The New York Times Magazine, Rolling Stone, and The Nation. As an international journalist, Schulz has explored Japan, the Middle East, and both Central and South America, and was awarded a Pew Fellowship in International Journalism in 2004.
During her interview with lynda.com co-founder Lynda Weinman, Schulz discusses why humans are so obsessed with being right, the relationship between wrongness and the creative process, and what her goals were when she sat down to write her book, Being Wrong—Adventures in the Margin of Error.

When I first heard Noah benShea speak at our locally organized TEDx in Santa Barbara, I didn't meet him in person. Rather, he was projected on the large screen, captured in a series of thought-provoking video monologues that worked as interstitials between the live conference sessions:
Most of the attendees and I found these videos riveting, so I was happy to meet Noah in person many months later. He agreed to come in to our studios for an interview. I recommend you check out the TEDx video first, and then if you enjoyed them, watch our interview to get to know a bit about the man behind the poetry.

Relationships are intriguing and fulfilling, it is meeting that is difficult and seems like a job sometimes....
I don't even know where to start but to make it simple off the start I would describe myself as very open minded, energetic, sociable, fit, comical, nurturing, and a great dad who loves to cook and experiment with different restaurants and travel... I am highly involved with my kids as they live with me and have throughout there lives, they are my best friends for sure!!! As I live for them, I also thoroughly enjoy ME time, and do have a live in Nanny to help me out from day to day, so hopefully that is not a deal breaker....... She is a remarkable addition to our family, and helps me with the day to day things around my place and with the kids..... She also allows me the opportunity to now open myself to the dating world and be comfortable that I can spend sometime meeting someone special in the future......As this fell into place in the past 12 months it was in part of my career which I own a Retail Design and General Construction Firm that works with retailers across the world. In devoting most of my life to this business I have traveled extensively all over the country, and have recently decided to limit my travels and stay home to move on with the more important things in my life, my children and personal growth!!! As it has been a life change, I am excited to the future and how it all develops....... I am very spontaneous, and vacationing is a must in my life which having the firm and my nanny helps in these wishes................ I haven't given a ton of thought to my interests, as I guess I was always one to have met and fall into love the old fashioned way..... but if I was to give a thought off the top of my head I would say that I am most interested in the following attributes: Confidence, sociable, attractive, energetic, loves dining out, fun loving, experimental, organized, and doesn't mind a man with children.......... To be completely honest in this, I never in the world thought I would be on this site, however I am here now as I am at a point in my life where the hardest work is over I feel; I have a career that I can be very flexible, my kids are terrific and we act as one no matter what the situation, we love to travel and hang out, I love my entire extended family and friends just as much, but would love to enjoy the country/world/life with someone that can appreciate it for its everyday style, and god willing just relax in the everyday situation that is life as we have it!!!! So many individuals allow for life's twists and turns to devour them instead of work with them, hence looking to develop a relationship where we can deal with them together and enjoy the fact that we have the ability to create a lifelong lifestyle that compliments everything that we could ever want, and learn from each other everyday!!!! Thats honesty for ya, but not to sure if that is going to help on this new venture I got myself involved in here or not....... (I am definately straight forward, and BS and Dishonesty is something that you will not find here.... You will find Brutal Honesty though, so as long as that is fair both ways, I am really looking forward to chatting and possibly meeting you soon....!!!!!!!!
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Baseball, Basketball, Football, Golf, Other types of exercise, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Dogs, Fish
I have an all black Pug, and bunch of fish in tanks throughout my place..... Unfortunately, my Pug was adopted by my parents so she can socialize with their dog, long story behind that:):)
Middle of the Road
Outer Banks, Miami, Keys, Las Vegas, and of course the Local OH/PA Restaurants
Kent State University, Kent, OH
Love good wine and all types of food, especially cooking it...!!!!
I love to do anything except for sitting around, unless of course it is too take a break which has to come sometime......... Love the outdoors, going to different events, travel w/ and wo my kids, hanging with wine!!!

CI's Bracero exhibit finds permanent home in Piru's Valle Naranjal
Camarillo, Calif., Sept. 19, 2012 – A powerful exhibit created by CSU Channel Islands (CI) students and faculty that presents the history and legacy of Mexican farmworkers known as "braceros" has found a fitting home. "The Braceros of Ventura County" will go on permanent display this fall at Piru's Valle Naranjal, a new farmworker housing community built on an old bracero campsite.
Built by Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation, Valle Naranjal will provide state-of-the-art rental housing for 66 low-income farmworker families. The community brings new life to the historic site of the Piru Labor Camp, known as "El Campo," which housed thousands of workers during the largest guest-worker program in U.S. history. From 1942-1964, the bracero program brought more than 4.5 million Mexican workers into the U.S. – more than 20 percent of them to Ventura County.
The CI exhibit documents their stories in posters, photos, replicas, artifacts and interactive displays. A multi-year project of CI Professor of Chicana/o Studies Dr. Jose Alamillo and his students, the exhibit has been revamped to reflect the history and setting of its new home in Piru.
"The location on the site of the former labor camp makes it a living museum that blends the past, present and future," said Alamillo. "Valle Naranjal is the perfect place for people to learn the history of the braceros, understand how they contributed to the economic vitality of the county, and see the contrast between what was here before and what's here now."
Three students in Alamillo's Chicana/o Studies 499: Community Engagement and Service Learning course spent the spring semester designing and building the exhibit specifically for its new home in Valle Naranjal. Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation provided the students with $10,000 and free reign to alter the Valle Naranjal community exhibition room.
"For us it was a real honor to have them do this work. And they embraced it with open arms," said Jesse Ornelas, Director of Real Estate Assets & Operations for Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation. "We felt it was a history worth documenting and I think, in the long run, the county will be well-served by it. People will walk out of the exhibit changed. They will see what transpired in the fields of California and in America. Here we have an exhibit that shows what it was and a new development that shows how it should be."
The students researched the Piru camp and its agricultural identity; recovered and displayed artifacts from its 53-history; interviewed braceros who lived there; and collected stories, photos and mementos from one of its former managers, Mary Guevara, the daughter of a bracero who ran the camp with her husband, Nacho, a former bracero himself.
For CI senior Maria Salas, a Chicana/o Studies and Spanish double-major, the exhibit was a proud and personal undertaking.
"My dad was a bracero and he was my hero," she said. "He passed away in 2005 at the age of 92. For me, this was such a wonderful way to honor him and all the braceros who changed the face of history. I'm very excited that this exhibit will provide a way for children in our community to learn about braceros and their contributions to our county."
Valle Naranjal opened to new residents during this past summer. On Sept.29th, the exhibit is expected to open to the public. Alamillo says CI students will begin offering guided tours to visitors and school groups and collaborating on a book about Ventura County braceros in future Chicana/o Studies courses.
The braceros exhibit got its start in 2008, when CI partnered with the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History to help preserve the bracero experience. CI faculty, staff and students interviewed and documented the stories of dozens of braceros for the Smithsonian exhibit and also created a separate exhibit that focused on the braceros of Ventura County. Since the student exhibit debuted alongside the Smithsonian exhibit in 2010, it has been displayed at the CI library.
"We are proud of the partnership with Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation that has given this exhibit new life and an ideal venue reuniting it with the community and history from which it emerged," said Alamillo. "It is our hope that the exhibit at Valle Naranjal will preserve and honor the braceros' contributions and share their impact and legacy for generations to come."

A little part of me cringes every time I do it, but at this point it's second nature.
It's hard to describe in words, but it involves a lot of levelling, a lot of smoothing. The tongue stays closer to the center of the mouth rather than doing the pronounced, defined highs and lows that shape the L and R sounds. The vocal chords vibrate in smooth, singing tones rather than doing the little hop up and down that makes for a normal American English syllable.
And after a few practice sentences, it slips effortlessly from my mouth. "Herro, and wercome to Beijing. Zhis is yoah guide to an ancient culchah…"
Lo and behold, I'm speaking English in a "Chinese accent."
I shouldn't complain — no actor can really get upset about a source of steady work. As I've pointed out, when Asian characters don't have accents it just means that white voice artists end up playing them. In all the kerfuffle about the "whitewashing" of M. Night Shyamalan's live-action version of The Last Airbender, people totally ignored that the voice cast of the cartoon it was based on was also almost all white people playing Asian characters.
Nor is there ever anything blatantly offensive in the content that makes me not want to take the role. I get uncomfortable with a narration having a "Chinese accent" just to give "color," so to speak, to a video set in China, but it's no different in spirit than having a Southern-accented narrator for a video set in Texas.
Most of my discomfort, I have to admit, is personal.
Because here's the thing. Nearly every Chinese immigrant I've met does in fact "talk like that," because it's almost impossible not to have a thick accent when your first language is as fundamentally phonetically different from English as Mandarin or Cantonese is.
But it's equally true that every single Chinese-American kid born here I've met emphatically does not "talk like that." In fact there isn't a Chinese-American accent the way there's a distinct cadence to how black Americans or Latino Americans talk. Most Chinese-Americans have a pitch-perfect "invisible" accent for wherever they live.
If anything, the thing that made me weird as a kid was that my English was too perfect. My grammar was too meticulously correct, my words too carefully enunciated — I was the kid who sounded like "Professor Robot." In order to avoid being a social pariah in high school I had to learn to use a carefully calibrated proportion of slurred syllables and street slang in my speech—just enough to sound "normal," not enough to sound like I was "trying too hard." I would actually sit at home, talking to myself, practicing sounding like a normal teenager.
I don't think I'm alone in this, though of my Chinese-American colleagues I'm one of the few who's taken the quest to develop a perfectly "neutral" voice so far that I now market said voice to produce corporate videos and voicemail greetings.
The "Asian accent" tells the story of Chinese-American assimilation in a nutshell. Our parents have the accent that white Americans perceive as the most foreign out of all the possible alternatives, so our choice is to have no accent at all. The accent of our parents is the accent of the grimy streets of Chinatown with its mah-jong parlors and fried food stalls and counterfeit jewelry, so we work to wipe away all traces of that world from our speech so we can settle comfortably into our roles as respectable middle-class doctors, lawyers, engineers hundreds of miles from Chinatown.
No wonder we react so viscerally to the "ching-chong, ching-chong" schoolyard taunt. To attack our language, our ability to sound "normal," is to attack our ability to be normal. It's to attack everything we've worked for.
And make no mistake about it, to sound like a "normal" American is to wield privilege.
I remember translating for my parents at customer service desks or in restaurants, where despite my youth my ability to carefully round my R's and use perfectly grammatical sentences made my complaints more credible. Taking my mother's scattered notes in "broken English" and crafting perfectly respectable job applications and cover letters out of them, all the while in the back of my mind wondering "What are they going to think when she actually shows up for work and I can't translate for her?"
Most vividly I remember being on vacation at Glacier National Park in Canada, bemusedly translating between my dad and a park ranger, both of whom were speaking English. One of them would say something. The other would blink in confusion. Only when I repeated it did they understand. And suddenly I realized—my dad's Chinese accent and the ranger's Canadian accent were too far apart from each other to be mutually intelligible.
I had the magic power, the royal privilege, of speaking the "correct" kind of English, the kind broadcast on the radio and TV. When I said something, people understood. My dad, who'd spoken English most of his life, and the ranger, who'd spoken English all his life, both depended on me to understand each other.
How strange, to be so important, to wield so much power, just because your version of the English language is the "right" one. How strange to be in a profession where people will pay you money to read words they wrote because their own, real, personal accent and dialect is "wrong".
And how terrifying it is to have that awesome feeling of privilege and safety in speaking the "right" language be attacked. When I was a contestant on Jeopardy! one of my quirks was that, having studied using books and flashcards, a lot of my pronunciations of words were unusual.
An enterprising YouTuber put together a supercut of all my pronunciation flubs—like saying "obstretrics" for "obstetrics" in the heat of the moment — and capped it with a clip from Pulp Fiction, Samuel L. Jackson screaming, "ENGLISH, MOTHER******! DO YOU SPEAK IT?!"
Of all the people making fun of me online for my weight, my appearance, my dour expression or my general unlikeability, the attacks on my ability to speak English cut deepest. More than all the other YouTube videos made of me, that one made me want to jump in the comments yelling, "Yeah, well, my wife until last year said 'rheTORic' instead of 'RHEtoric' but you wouldn't question her fluency in the English language over that because she's white and she was born here and that's racist!"
Luckily I restrained myself. But this weird fear of somehow losing my American-ness still haunts me.
So those embarrassing "Chinese accent" voiceover jobs? I don't think it's just the money; I think I go after them as a weird form of self-therapy, facing what you fear in order to master it.
I spent my entire childhood learning how to pass for "normal" in the way I spoke, to grasp for the privilege that came with assimilation. But as any linguist will tell you, the idea of "perfect" speech is an illusion. No one actually has a "perfect" accent; the definition of "proper" English is arbitrary and fluctuates wildly over time.
Indeed, the single biggest barrier I have to getting voiceover jobs now is that my voice is too perfect, that the most common note you see from producers on spec sheets is "Not too announcer-y, must sound like a real person." The "proper" English that was on TV when I was a kid isn't "proper" anymore; the definition of proper English keeps updating itself, keeps readjusting to match what people think of as "real."
Well, the English I grew up with as "real" isn't the English I painstakingly forced on myself from listening to TV and my peers at school. It's the English of my parents, complete with under-pronounced L's and R's, dropped "and"s and "the"s, sing-songy and "broken" and embarrassing.
That accent is real, but my use of it can never be, not after so many years of renouncing it and avoiding it and exterminating any trace of it from my day-to-day speech. After a lifetime of rehearsals and training, the "announcer voice" is my voice, and the only reliable way to sound "less announcer-y" is to put on an accent that isn't mine, be it Brooklyn, Biloxi or Beijing.
What a paradox. When I sound real, I'm fake, and when I sound fake, I'm real. I can only wonder how many of my fellow hyphenated Americans can say the same.

"It is a traditional style with a romantic feel. I am getting married in August of 2015 and these will be our first monogrammed cards for after the wedding thank you notes. I was able to use the emerald green for the font color to match my wedding color and it is perfect!"
"These note cards came out really well. A great choice when thank you notes will be written by both bride and groom. Simple, elegant. Wasn't sure how the burlap textured look would come out on the actual card, but it adds a really nice element."
"I personalized this card with shimmer paper and the colors: smoke for the background then coast blue for the ribbon/border."
"We used the String Bow design for our invitiations, which included the insert, as well as our thank you cards. We customized both to have chocolate brown as the main fill colour and the font as white... and both items turned out perfect! We had so many compliments on both and the whole ordering and customization process was incredibly smooth. Would highly recommend. Affordable and great quality."
"I was so excited to receive this product. When I opened the envelope, all the samples I ordered were wrapped so nicely! I was not expecting that, but I loved it. The overall design is simple, yet beautiful. Someone who is looking for a beach themed 'Thank you note' but does not want overkill on the beach theme, would love this! I love the greenish starfish with the blue font over it. All the colors/fonts can be customized to fit everyones tastes and style. I would definitely reccomend this 100%!
