Results in focus, trading seen cautious next week
REUTERS - Trading is expected to remain cautious next week as a sudden slump in share price of Tata Motors and Ultratech Cement in late market hours on Friday would make investors take cautious bets.
Shares are expected to trade in a narrow range as sentiment remains muted after the central bank's comments on Tuesday and as traders watch out for earnings of auto major Mahindra & Mahindra (MAHM.NS) and cement companies including ACC (ACC.NS).
Market participants will watch for any announcement from the government about the upcoming budget.
India's plan to raise about $2 billion through a stake sale in power producer NTPC Ltd (NTPC.NS) will likely take place on February 7, according to sources.

I've loved some and I've left some. I'm particularly fond of scarves, books, popcorn kernels, hair combs, lipstick tubes, and crayons.
57 Boyfriends
Steph's semi-autobiographical one-woman show was a big hit at the Frontera Fest 2009 Short Fringe, making it all the way to Best of the Fest! Co-directed by Kirk German and Heather Huggins, Steph's performance, which featured two of her journals, a bottle of wine, and a trunk full of junk, was hailed for its "unflinching honesty" and "courage." One night, she even performed through a torrential downpour and a black-out! We're proud to say that 57 Boyfriends was sassy, irreverent, and thought-provoking, just like Steph herself!
Just Say DA!!
Since Steph wasn't yet a DA! member when we debuted Direct Object last winter, she is now finally discovering the joys of "Object Playtime" as we move towards mounting our full-length production for next year. Although she started out by "dating" a newspaper (following the legacy of Robin Grace Thompson), she's started to show interest in a certain storage trunk (her co-star from 57 Boyfriends)...
Steph Denson
graduated from St. Edward's University in May 2008 with a B.A. in Theatre Arts. She just finished performing in the latest incarnation of her one-woman show, 57 Boyfriends, a DA!-produced entry for FronteraFest 2009 which advanced to Best of the Fest. She also had the pleasure of performing in DA!'s Relative Space at HPT last December. . ...read more

Can Architects Do For Borders What They've Done For Embassies?

Embassies are architectural projects meant to represent one country to another. But why don't we take similar care when it comes to designing the landscape of national borders?
Granted, most of these borders go unnoticed—often we only see them on classroom maps. But every so often they become the focus of global attention and national debate. Then they transform into more than just lines on a map.
Borders can create a divided landscape where political fissures are reflected in the built environment. A recent New York Times article describing how the previously porous Arizona border has been sealed by a combination of surveillance, increased patrolling, and physical barriers attests to the importance of divided landscape.
The new US Embassy in London, designed by Kieran Timberlake, had to balance appearance and security. Photo: Courtesy of the State Department via news.beloblog.com
But this isn't just about security; it's about resources and missed opportunities. The article describes how Texas is set to spend $4.5 billion on continued border enforcement over the next five years. This price tag demonstrates what we're willing to commit to when it comes to the border. And it's not just money, it's also ingenuity at our disposal. For example, in Arizona there's a fence that can be raised above the shifting sands—a mobile landscape installation whose permanency has transformed a desert from a human highway back to its previous desolation.
All of which begs the question: If we're prepared to use billions of dollars of materials and impressive engineering expertise to secure a border, then surely there are some opportunities for architects and landscape architects to make the border more than just a barrier? Read on to find out!

Embassies deal with the same issues you see at a border: They're political spaces that must deal with foreign visitors as well as questions of security. The US State Department has a long history of hiring architects to project an image abroad, some examples of which are still impressive today. Granted, the OBO doesn't engage in the same level of diplomatic architecture these days, but the precedent is there.
In 2005 alone more than 50 million people entered the US through the San Ysidro Port of Entry. Now under renovation and expected to be finished in 2015. Photo: Philkon via Wikimedia Commons
More important, the sometimes politically charged trend of globalization will continue to highlight the importance of borders, as economies—and especially jobs—disregard national boundaries. Most human movement will happen in airports, but some will inevitably take place in vehicles and on foot, as has been the case at the US/Mexico crossing. Previously, architects and designers haven't been responsible for the design of nations' edges, though that might be changing as seen in the below project by J. MAYER H.
The crossing at Sarpi in Georgia isn't a military affair: It has becomes something more cosmopolitan.
Architecture has the unique ability to shape the character of a place, therefore we should be asking what can architecture do to change how we perceive borders, especially polarizing ones like US/Mexico. Can architects create a new landscape typology that, much like the embassy, mediates between the need for quality space and the need for security?
We've rounded up a collection of borders that are now, or were in the past, subject to political tension and what their architectural character was. Could you have (or can you now) design something better?
This barrier, which runs from Yuma, Arizona, to Calexico, California, looks like a Richard Serra work, though it is unrelenting in comparison. It's a simple barrier, one whose physicality both signifies and enforces the political boundary. Its peculiar design adapts it to the shifting sands and allows it to be mechanically lifted above the rising dunes.

Some borders are overtly confrontational. The South Korean Freedom House, built 1998, has opaque black windows that allow officials and soldiers to look out without being seen. The building has a quasi-monumental feel thanks to its sweeping roof, and it's certainly more sleek and modern than the North's much older concrete Panmungak building, shown directly above. Here the somber discipline of the architecture extends into the guards themselves, chosen for their discipline and unfaltering in their surveillance of their counterparts across the border.
However, most of the border separating the Koreas consists of uninhabited wilderness that has now become a de facto natural preserve.
The approximately 400 square miles of mountains in the DMZ are host to a wide range of endangered species. Photo: via faslanyc.blogspot.com
The Korean DMZ, laid out in 1953, is natural landscape designed to create a gap between two warring countries. The land has since been filled with unique wildlife that has lost its habitat in the rest of Korea.
The border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic is marked by a line of deforestation. Photo: Harm de Blij via conceptcaching.com
Conversely, the border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic has been unintentionally shaped by differing national policies on harvesting the natural environment. Here the border between two countries occupying the same island of Hispaniola is revealed by the presence (or absence) or vegetation. While the Dominican side of the border experienced strong enforcement of anti-logging laws (sometimes by less-than-democratic administrations), the Haitian side did not. Therefore the border is marked by a solid/void dynamic that even Nolli would appreciate.

Some borders are hosts to modification and subversion. Banksy, the guerilla artist and activist, painted directly on the concrete barrier between the Palestinian Authority and Israel. The works are cutting and simple, seeking to highlight the prison-like nature of the barrier that the artist wished to project. Most important, from a design perspective it's an appropriation of existing infrastructure that lends it a new meaning. While the Israeli-Palestinian divide remains unresolved, some barriers do fall down as they did in Berlin. This, however, creates a whole new set of architectural and landscape questions that must be answered.
Traces of past borders in Germany: The Berlin Wall and the Inner German Border. Photo: (top) via wayfaringwannabe.tumblr.com and (bottom) environmentandsociety.org
With the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989, a newly unified Germany had to confront the massive line of defenses and walls that had been built up over the course of the Cold War. This included the infamous Berlin Wall as well as a series of mine fields and fences that ran the entire length of the East/West German border called The Inner German Border. All the barriers are gone now, but their scar tissue remains: bricks that denote where the Berlin Wall once stood and a strip of vegetation (part of the European Green Belt) where the old defenses used to cut across the landscape.
Bonus Border: The US and Canada
Photo: b16dyr via flickr.com
The US-Canadian border is almost 5500 miles of … nothing. It is demarcated by a 20-foot gap in foliage that runs the length of the 49th parallel across fields and mountains alike. Around 8,000 monuments mark where the countries meet and each monument is joined to the next via the clearing. The void is relentless in its extent and it's difficult to fully conceive its staggering size. For more on the weirdness on this border, see this neat Youtube report.

I adopted Rigel from the local shelter at the same time that I adopted a domestic short-haired kitten. He is a very shy cat and needed reassurance that he was not in anyone's way. He is now fine. His previous owner declawed all 4 paws. He knows his mouth is his only weapon. He can be a bit fierce with my smaller kitty when he runs out of patience. With a cat his age and more his size (he weighs 17.7 pounds), I think he'll be fine. Most of the time, the two cats sleep side-by-side and run around the house together. He is affectionate and follows me from room-to-room like a typical Maine Coon. I will not ship him to another home. ... (Read More)Looking for a local placements. (Photos soon.) (Less)

97-year-old Avon former tool & die maker Edward Wilding visits Lorain County JVS
OBERLIN, Ohio - A 97-year-old Avon resident who grew up in London, England was hosted by the Lorain County JVS to share his life's experience in the trades.
Edward Wilding wasn't sure why anyone in the television world would be interested to share that experience Wednesday, but with a quick wit and sharp memory, Wilding took everyone - including students and staff - who would listen at this vocational school on a journey that few walked away from without learning something new about work and the right attitude.
That included Wilding himself.
"I don't know what they want to know, but all I can tell them is that my grandfather taught me as a kid, if a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well. If you can't do it well, leave it alone," said Wilding.
Doing the job well were students and staff here, dedicated to teaching skills often not thought of for jobseekers in high schools.
LCJVS senior Hayley Balmert wanted to go into education and get a degree in that field but after talking to her dad who works in the trade field opted to at least acquire machine-shop skills to fall back on after her graduation.
"I might go into the field, after maybe the military in this kind of field, but it does give me the chance to realize what I do want to do and what I don't want to do for the rest of my life. It does give me a step into the future," said Balmert.
Wilding wove in and out of the school's machine shop Wednesday afternoon. He may have been using a walker, but he gets around quickly for having century-old legs. His mind still incredibly sharp, he answered every question from his first job at 14 years of age after having to drop out of school during tough economic times in 1930.
With his original wooden, handmade toolbox in tow from his 1951 arrival to Cleveland from London, few will forget a humble man's visit to a busy classroom machine shop building futures, piece by piece.
For Wilding, he has few regrets, other than not getting math classes before he went to work so young.
"I left school without an inkling of trigonometry, and you probably realize it most essentially in a machine shop. I learned bit by bit. I started to go to night school but I quickly found out that they were teaching us stuff that I had learned two years previously, so I just gave it up," said Wilding. "I realized It doesn't take a genius to put stuff together, and it doesn't take a genius to take it apart. And if you take it apart, you can find out why it's not working."
Wilding's memory is still working, and students here soaked in every last bit of it.

It's less than a month until Spring arrives on March 20th, but you wouldn't really be able to tell here in the Bay. Although we had a few days of showers, it has been really beautiful with the sun shining and the temperature just right. This weekend it is supposed to be gorgeous which is great because this weekend in events is equally fantastic. There is so much to do this weekend and it is not even Spring yet!
Check out all the Bay has to offer including my interview with the owners of the new Oakland venue
, a review of one of my favorite pizza joints
Black Weirdo
is coming back to Oakland (check upcoming events.) Without further ado go forth and party! For a full listing of events this weekend

Miz Chris [MC]:
Where are you from?
Jason Bradford [JB]:
San Francisco native born and raised , Oakland resident homeowner/investor since 2009.
Davina Dickens [DD]:
Born and raised in San Francisco , lived in a Oakland off on on for the past twelve years.
Chris Newell [CN]:
San Francisco originally, but Ive lived in Oakland for the past four years
What inspired you to open up a new venue in Oakland?
Oakland has equally everything to offer that San Francisco does in my opinion. Im quite fond of the hospitality/nightlife industry. Unfortunately, there aren't
enough venues that offer the versatility that San Francisco venues offer. This became one of our inspirations and mission for opening a new venue in Oakland.
I have experienced Oaklands highs and lows through the past decade. Ive taken
noticed that Oakland has been maintaining and thriving towards a new direction. With the surge of new restaurants, retail shops, and nightlife spots, I felt the need and wanted to be apart of the exciting new development taking place in Oakland.
I have experienced Oaklands highs and lows through the past decade. Ive taken noticed that Oakland has been maintaining and thriving towards a new direction. With the surge of new restaurants, retail shops, and nightlife spots, I felt the need and wanted to be apart of the exciting new development taking place in Oakland.
Oakland is probably the city that still incorporates what I believe to be the Bay Area attitude and atmosphere the most. Growing up in the bay weve always seen tourists come to visit, but the diversity and attitude of the people has always been a reason to stay, Oakland exemplifies that. To provide the people of Oakland a place to go that offers a level of quality that I think that they deserve, and to add to the nightlife experience that is really coming into fruition here.
What previous experience do you have in Bay Area nightlife?
I have been professionally working in the nightlife industry for over a decade. I have managed a staff of 4 to 25 and held every position in the nightlife industry. From barback, bartender, Assistant Manager to Manager twice over. This is my third business in Alameda County and my first bar/event venue, but not my last.
My experience and focus is in Administrative and Logistics. I have a vast knowledge in all aspect of administrative operations and human resources. With my rich cultural background and professional experience, I have a great deal to contribute to the industry.
I have personally been in the nightlife industry since 2001, I began as a barback and worked my way up through the ranks until I became management. This is the first bar weve owned, hopefully there will be more to come.
Why the name Parliament?
The Bay Area has always represented equal representation for everyone. With the progressiveness of Oakland we wanted a name that was equally befitting to us and the Oakland community, hence Parliament.
We collectively decided on the name Parliament. Along with its original English definitions and the new direction of Oakland, it was fitting.
English Parliament was originally established for equal representation of the people,
we believe that we can accomplish that same idea for entertainment. By offering a variety of events and music, we hope to represent the diversity of Oakland that we have all grown to love.
[MC]: What are your hopes for your new venue?
In addition to maintaing a level of integrity and professionalism, we hope to have sustainability and longevity in the nightlife industry. We hope to bring a sense of dignity and ownership to the community of Oakland through Parliament. By offering a fun, safe environment for all to enjoy their entertainment needs.
My hope is to make Parliament a premiere destination for everyones entertainment and nightlife needs. While representing and bringing a level of pride and respect to Oakland and the community.
I hope that people see us for what we are, a venue to hold their next wedding, birthday, corporate event, or dance party. We want to be a place that people enjoy and feel safe at. Were not some big corporation that can only see the bottom line, we live and work in this beautiful city. We hope that the people feel comfortable enough to come down to have a drink and a conversation with us. Cheers.

Miz Chris [MC]: Where are you from?
Tina Banchero [TB]:
I live in Oakland and perform and teach dance across the Bay Area
[MC]: How did you get involved with Bay Area Rising?
I met Carolyn Hunt (Core Team/Producer for Bay Area Rising) through a mutual friend. I have been a huge fan of Eve Enslers work for years and have used some of her writings and monologues to inspire my dance students work.
[MC]: What will you be performing during the show?
I have choreographed a dance for the Grrrl Brigade a youth company I co-founded with Krissy Keefer, director of the Dance Brigade. This youth company is based in San Francisco and is the daughter company of the Dance Brigade a modern dance company I have been a member for the last 13 years. The piece is set to a Grace Jones song called This is my voice. The chorus is This is my voice, my weapon of choice. The dance is very strong and utilizes martial arts movement as well as modern and jazz dance. The story of this piece is that these young women will use their bodies and voices to speak out and up against violence towards women and girls.
I will also be leading the Break the Chain flashmob dance at the end of the event. This flashmob dance was choreographed by Debbie Allen for Eve Ensler and the One Bilion Rising movement. Last year 220 countries around the world got people dancing the flashmob as a form of action. This year we hope to fill the 1st Presybetrian Church of Oakland 2619 Broadway First Presbyterian Church corner 27th at 7pm with 650 people enjoying a performance ritual with some of the Bay Areas finest performers and spiritual leaders and we will close our event with the flashmob dance. Go to
for more information or to buy tickets. All proceeds will go to local and international groups that support women and girls and an end to violence.
[MC]: Why do you think the work Bay Area Rising is doing is important?
The Bay Area is one place in the world where cutting edge thoughts, laws and
community behaviors around issues of human justice and earth justice are constantly being formulated and constantly influencing the rest of the world. Bay Area Rising recognized the magnitude of Eve Enslers global campaign to challenge the U.Ns statement in 2012 that 1 billion women and girls will experience violence by getting close to 1 billion people to rise, dance and envision a world with out violence in 2013. This year we hope to get 1 billion people to see a new way and a new future for girls, women, boys and men. We hope to support that movement here in Oakland.
When an act of violence happens it sends deep painful ripples of emotion through individuals, families, neighbor hoods, schools, communities, cities and countries. It is a heavy time for all of us. In contrast when people come together to envision non-violence in large groups, the collective consciousness of a community is raised, filled with light and hope. That same ripple effect happens in one persons psyche, a families beliefs, a neighborhoods beliefs, a city, and a country. Change can happen when we envision that
change and we support each other in holding that vision. Bay Area Rising is doing this by bringing together some of the Bay Areas best visionaries and artists to help us hold that collect thought. Oakland can be free of violence. Berkeley can be free of violence. SF can be free of violence.
[MC]: Tell us a little more about what you do outside of Bay Area Rising.
I am a professional dancer and activist. I have been working to support womens rights for decades through my activist work, through my spiritual work and through my artistic work. I have performed with many companies through out the Bay Area and taught in many schools. I work most extensively with the Dance Brigade and Grrrl Brigade.

The Mangos with Chili Interview

This week I am so very pleased to interview one of the founders of Mangos with Chili, Cherry Galette. They are on tour with the final four dates, read about them and if you are in the area go and see them!
Miz Chris [MC]:
Where are you from?
Cherry Gallete [CG]:
Cherry was born to a family of music makers and farmworkers in rural Washington state. After stints in other parts of the US, Cherry came to Oakland 8 years ago.
Leah was born to a gay Sri Lankan dad and a working class white trauma mom in Worcester, MA, grew up in the rust belt, got college in New York in the 90s, ran away to Toronto/ unceded Missisauga of New Credit territories from 1997-2007, and have lived between the Bay and Toronto since.
We came to the Bay Area to learn from and contribute to the amazing QTPOCTS (Queer and Trans People of Color) art and culture made here. We dont know if we will be in the Bay Area forever- gentrification and cultural and economic displacement are factors that affect us like they are affecting all of our communities- but we are committed to the project continuing in new places and in new manifestations and evolutions as our lives, migrations, and artistic paths evolve.
How did Mangos with Chili start?
Once upon a time in an era long ago, in the time of Friendster and before cell phones or GPS, Leah and Cherry met one fated summer in San Francisco when they were both attending a retreat for artists of color, and visiting their then boos. Mangos With Chili was a dream hatched on corner store phone cards, Fruitvale tienditas selling the snack that is our namesake, and big visions of taking queer and trans people of color performance art to big stages. We knew that our community of art makers, our craft, and our beautiful stories of resilience and survival, deserved to be witnessed. We knew that our community deserved to come to spaces where they could feel home, be fully held, be celebrated, and see stories similar to their own reflected in creative work.
So in 2006, after many years of performing as solo
artists, and facing similar unsavory experiences with queer performance spaces that were mostly white, and people of color performance spaces that could be homo and transphobic, Cherry and Leah brought their dreams, sweat, and desire together to start planning a ten day tour that took the Northeast by storm.
Our breakout 2007 cabaret took 8 queer and trans performers of color working in different artistic genres to cities and stages throughout the Northeastern United States and Canada. With no core funding and mostly grassroots publicity, Mangos With Chili was a phenomenally successful project. We raised our budget through grassroots fundraising and door revenue, and were able to pay artists a fair wage, in addition to covering all travel and housing costs. The show packed world class theaters, underground performance spaces, and campus halls, including Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in Toronto, C-Space in Cleveland, Swarthmore College, Cattyshack in New York, The Black Repertory Theater of Providence, Theatre Juste por Rire in Montreal, rural Northeast stages and more. Audiences everywhere thanked us for both the high caliber of work and the life-saving importance of the testimonies we shared through our art. We were completely blown away by the tours unexpected success- how night after night community and university spaces were packed to capacity with folks who had learned about the shows from word of mouth and were hungry for more. (Even though Leah thought we could definitely fit seven people in a six seater minivan. We have since learned that when it comes to tour rigs, being a size queen is everything).
In our early years not only did we have no core funding, we barely had working computers. During our first two tours we relied on a huge paper atlas of North America to find our way around (the atlas has now moved on to become part of our archives!). We paid for gas out of pass-the-hat donations as gas prices began to soar. But we did it. We found a way. We made magic happen. We made shows that are gorgeous healing spaces, that people talk about years later.
At the time of MWCs founding, Leah lived in unceded Missisauga of New Credit territories/Toronto, and Cherry was completing a revisit to the rural immigrant community in the Northwest she grew up in, and was about to move to Oakland. Between 2006 and 2007 as we relocated to the Bay Area, we began to create and produce artistic work in the Bay. Some of our signature shows were created during this time Encuentros, which featured stories from immigrant and first generation queer artists, Beloved, which took place in October and honored our QTPOC dead, and Whipped, which is our show about the many manifestations of queer love. We also had many opportunities to present work in the National Queer Arts Festival, and used this as an opportunity to launch new shows in addition to our signature shows. During this time we also continued to tour. We followed our inaugural tour with 2008s Queer Borderlands Tour, and 2009s Stunning South Tour. We took a break from intense touring following the 2009 tour we were tired, had some really hard stuff to sort through, and needed to figure out future directions, and Cherry was recovering from being hit by a truck but we did brief stints in different geographic areas between 2010-13.
What is the vision for Mangos with Chili?
Our vision is to provide big stages for qtpoc artists to showcase and develop their work. For QTPOC and other folks to see QTPOC stories and performance in big, luscious complexity.
Mangos With Chili is a touring, performance art incubator committed to showcasing high
quality artistic work of life saving importance by queer and trans artists of color. Our goal is to produce high-quality multi-genre performances reflecting the lives and stories of queer and trans people of color that speak out in resistance to the daily struggles around silence, isolation, homophobia, transphobia, and violence that QTPOC face.
Beyond being a performance incubator, we have come to think of ourselves also as a ritual space for queer and trans communities of color to come together in love, conversation and transformation. Our goal is to present high quality performance art by QTPOC, but so much of our work is also about creating healing and transformative space through performances that are gathering places for QTPOC community.
We root in our belief that we can make stages into sites of freedom, healing and transformation through shared story and art. We dont control a lot all the time, but when you have a stage for a few hours, it can be a place where we dream back to what our ancestors knew or imagine new futures. We can create a microcosm of the communities we want to live in. We know we are both ancient and breathtakingly new. That poetry and dance are far from a luxury. That our ancestors survived through song, poetry and story, mapping freedom trails and envisioning new ways of being beyond survival. And as we remember them by dancing in their memory, we do the same.
Why do you travel the show?
Because we love touring! Even though it is exhausting and crazy making and the van gets real full of old hummus, it is so worth it. Because queer trans and two spirit Black, Indigenous and People of Color communities all over are hungry for the show. Were 1/3 through our 2014 tour, are visiting the pacific northwest for the first time, and have heard from so many people that they have literally been waiting to see the show for years that our show is healing and empowering and magic and life giving and that witnessing stories that are our own changes lives for realsies.
Also we feel its important to bring the work to different cities and communities and build with qtpoc across the country. There is beauty and power in seeing how our communities are living, surviving, and thriving.
What do you hope for this years Mangos with Chili?
To bring people together Cherry recently met a qpoc couple in New Orleans who had met at our 2009 show there and had been together since. And when we say bring people together we mean not just in the romantic or sexy sense. There is deep power in our beautiful qtpoc bodies, stories, lives, and dreams come together.
We also just wanna tell some bomb, complicated love stories, sex stories, disaster stories that will heal folks and tell folks some shit they really need to hear.
Half our crew this tour ids as disabled, sick and/or crazy, and it has been so.freaking.amazing to centralize Disabled queer and trans POC love and sex stories. So good. So needed.
We also hope that folks see their truths reflected in the works on our stage.
Also, some of us wanna get laid. And some of us already have.

Black Lack – due out by mid-April, 2014
"Sleep Great for Life" Now Available in Print
Every night millions of people throughout the country suffer with some type of sleep disorder. It may be difficulty falling asleep, waking up in the middle of night with the inability to resume sleeping, restless sleep in general, or a combination of these difficulties.
Sleep deprivation can spiral out of a control, lasting for months or years while wreaking havoc on a person's overall well-being. It doesn't have to be that way.
Author Rich Nilsen has written a new book, Sleep Great for Life, which offers 14 critical steps for proper sleep hygiene, before laying the foundation for the heart and soul of the book: the easy-to-apply Sleep Great method. The book had previously only been available in e-book formats but is now available in paperback for the first time.
"I suffered with debilitating insomnia and it was wrecking my life," explained Nilsen. "It pains me to see anyone else suffering with a sleep disorder because I know how difficult it can be, how it can affect one's personal and work life, and the depression it can cause. Insomnia is a vastly underrated health problem."
Sleep surveys indicate that fifty-eight percent of adults in the U.S. experience symptoms of insomnia a few nights a week or more. The impact of poor sleep results in numerous health and personal issues, including depression, increased blood pressure, irritability, difficulty concentrating, lack of sexual desire, just to name a few.
One of the goals of the Sleep Great method is to teach readers that they do not have to rely on sleeping pills to get a good night's sleep on a regular basis.
"Despite what the pharmaceutical companies would have you believe, the truth is that you can't buy a good night's sleep," explained Nilsen. "The Sleep Great method works extremely well, without the need of any drugs, and readers can begin to apply the concepts the first day they dive into the book."
Nilsen empowers readers to take back their nights and sleep time by teaching them:
- To fix any of the missing 14 sleep hygiene steps in their life
- How to get off all prescription or over-the-counter sleep aids
- To spot stress factors that bring about insomnia
- To understand how to lay a proper sleep foundation for life
- How to properly attack their sleep issue and overcome it once and for all
"I read this book a while back, but wanted to give it a chance to see how well it really worked before reviewing. As a family man that has a full-time job and freelances from home nightly, good sleep has always been an issue. I would go to bed exhausted from the day, but so wired I couldn't keep my eyes shut. These techniques to achieve a restful night's sleep really delivered! The concepts and plans are presented clearly without a lot of unnecessary filler making it a quick read. Also, knowing that the author had gone through some of my same sleep issues made it easy to relate with. Great book for a great night's sleep." — Donald Shofner, Lexington KY
e-Book and Print Available
Sleep Great for Life is a five-star rated Kindle book on Amazon.com. The book is now available in print for the first time from publisher All Star Press – Books that Change Lives. It is available in print and e-book wherever books are sold, including on the publisher's website at allstarpress.com. E-book available here for instant download.

Executive Director: Coralee Wray
Coralee Wray joined the shelter as Executive Director in early 2014. Ms. Wray leads the organization in its mission to promote the health, safety, compassionate care and protection of all animals in our community.
After a rewarding career as a Project Management Professional (PMP) in fortune 500 companies and startups, Coralee decided she wanted to more fully align her work with her values. As an advocate of whole person health and a Duke trained Integrative Health Coach Professional (IHC), Coralee is aware of the positive impact pets have on our health and well-being. Her background in operations, business systems and quality management positions her well to lead the organization in its mission.
"As a Rotarian, I am interested in supporting the wellness of this community through non-profit work and service above self. We are so fortunate to live in this incredible county, the animals that live along side of us support and enhance our experience."
Shelter Director: Jolene Hoffman
Jolene Hoffman came to the Humane Society as a volunteer when the shelter opened in 1982 and worked her way up to becoming the shelter director in 1985 and has remained in that position to date.
Jolene is dedicated to overseeing all shelter staff and animals. She councils the public and performs euthanasia for the public's animals when they are suffering. She also works all major disasters such as fires, floods and earthquakes to assist with animal rescues.
When Jolene began volunteering in 1982, she felt that she had found her purpose. She loves coming to work with like-minded people who are all here for the same reason. Jolene knows the Humane Society is a safe place for the animals of Ventura County. Jolene says it is her job, along with the rest of the staff, to recycle pets that have been thrown away and place these special creatures in their forever homes. She strongly believes the key to ending suffering for all animals is education, spaying and neutering.
Of what she and the staff do at the Humane Society everyday, Jolene says, "We make a difference in the lives of the animals and families we help. What more can you ask for?"
Humane Officer: Alina Hoffman
Alina Hoffman came to the Humane Society in 2007 with a great amount of experience in assuring that the law is upheld. She worked as an Animal Control Officer for both the Cochese County Sherriff's Department and Ventura County Animal Services.
Here at the Humane Society Alina does it all. She investigates abuse and neglect cases, impounds animals that are being mistreated, educates the public, fosters animals, helps people find the right animal for adoption and is a euthanasia technician for the public's animals when they are suffering.
Alina is an absolutely amazing individual who works hard to assure that the animals of Ventura County are well cared for. Be sure to say hello when you come in to look for a new forever friend. She will be happy to help you find the right animal for your family.
Humane Officer: Lucy Mrvichin
From a very young age Lucy knew that she wanted to spend her life with animals. Lucy got her first rescued dog on her 8th birthday, and from that point on she developed her love of animal rescue and training. When she was sixteen she began volunteering at a local dog rescue group where she learned about dog behavior and problem solving. She has worked at two veterinary hospitals, a boarding kennel, grooming shop and has volunteered at the Wildlife Care Center.
In addition to an animal lover and rescuer, Lucy is also quite the scholar. She graduated from Humbolt State Universtiy with a Masters Degree in English Literature and has recently been taking classes in law enforcement.
"I am excited about working at the Humane Society of Ventura County. I love combining my volunteer experience and animal knowledge to help our wonderful animals find new homes and I am eager to work with volunteers to develop programs that support our mission."
We are all very excited to have Lucy on board! Stop on in and meet her and find out how you can become a volunteer!
Humane Educator: Dawn Reily
Dawn Reily began her love of arts and career in education and animal care at very young age. As little girl she was always outside marveling at the wonders of nature in her backyard in Ventura. She was constantly bringing some kind of insect or small critter inside to find out more facts and information about it, draw or take a picture of it, and when she was finished with her study she would release it. Dawn would even check on the outdoor spiders to make sure they were finding bugs in their webs to eat. In addition to studying the creatures in her backyard, with the encouragement of Joyce George, (now a board member at the shelter), she began volunteering her time at the shelter in Ojai to help socialize the animals and rescue stray cats in the neighborhood.
As a teen her passion blossomed and she followed her interests in the arts, animals, and education in college. While in college she began volunteering her time at Woods Humane Society in San Luis Obispo, fostered for many animals, and then worked as a care taker for the cats at the shelter. She graduated from Sonoma State University with a bachelor's degree in Studio Arts and Education. Her career paths included, private cat kennel manager, a humane society volunteer coordinator and public relations event planner, cat clinic veterinary technician, pre-school art and science teacher, high school art teacher, and she is a professional artist.
Dawn now resides in Ventura again with her family, daughter Jade, and her many beloved pets and education animals. She has a tabby cat named Rocky, a black Maine Coon cat named Licky, a bearded dragon named Apep, two corn snakes, two red-eared slider turtles, a pink zebra knee tarantula, Madagascar hissing cockroaches, mice, diamond doves, frogs, a variety of insect pets, and fish. You'll either still find her outside in her vegetable garden examining the flora and fauna, around town taking her trained Maine Coon cat and bearded dragon for a walk or ride in a stroller, or working on an animal painting or her glass art jewelry at her studio in the Bell Arts Factory in Ventura.
For the Humane Society, Dawn is here to teach about how to love, respect, protect, and know about all animals from the tiniest spider ling to the great blue whale. Please email Dawn at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information or schedule a program visit. She will even be happy to answer why Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches make great pets.
Development Director: Lynn Malone
After over ten years serving three other Ojai nonprofit organizations in operations, marketing and development capacities, Lynn was hoping to find a cause near and dear to her heart to share her experience. The Humane Society proved to be just that place. Lynn loves knowing that the work she does to communicate with all of our friends and supporters helps the many homeless animals we serve each year.
Lynn professes to be a "dog person" as evidenced by the fact that homeless dogs just seem to find her when she least expects them. As much as she has wanted to adopt a dog from the Shelter, since she has been working here, two little dogs have found their home with her so her house is currently filled with all the doggie love she can currently manage. She loves to go down to the kennels and get to know the dogs in our care, and enjoys the days when a dog is lounging in the office too.
Lynn's duties here at the Shelter and Adoption Center are to produce the HSVC newsletter, enews, website, press releases and other correspondence, to enhance member relationships and inspire others in the community to help too. She also manages special events including fundraisers and helps out with other special projects as needed.
Lynn and her husband George have lived here in Ojai for over three decades and have set down deep roots in the community. They raised their four children and a grandchild here, along with several family dogs, cats and other pets throughout the years.
Veterinary Assistant: Tami Brown
Tami Brown came to the Humane Society in 2002 as a veterinary technician because of her love of animals. She assists the veterinarian during surgery, checks in clients, orders supplies for the clinic and assures that all animals in the clinic are well cared for. She also helps administer vaccinations and medications to animals that are being sheltered at the Humane Society.
Tami is also a Euthanasia Technician. She is tasked with helping humanely end the lives of animals who are suffering and counseling the families going through the grieving process.
Tami is a Nordhoff High School graduate. She has trained closely with Dr. Lewis here at the Humane Society in his techniques and procedures. She has studied in a variety of fields, but has found much satisfaction working with animals here at the shelter.
Here at the Humane Society we are fortunate to have someone who cares so deeply for the animals. When you are ready to have your animal spayed or neutered please call 646-6505. Tami will make sure that they are well taken care of.
Veterinary Assistant: Cindy Mason-Williams
Cindy Mason-Williams came to the Humane Society in 2007 as a volunteer with a strong passion for helping animals. She was regarded as the volunteer that would do anything, fix anything and provide unconditional love to the animals. In 2010 she was hired as a Veterinary technician.
She assists the veterinarian during surgery, advises the public on the importance of spaying and neutering, and assures that all animals in the clinic are well cared for. She has studied in a variety of fields, but has found much satisfaction working with animals here at the shelter.
For information on spaying and neutering your pet please call Cindy at 646-6505. Not only will she be happy discuss the benefits of these procedures, but will be happy to set up an appointment as well. Once your animals are in the clinic you can rest assured that they will be well cared for in her loving and very capable hands.
Office Manager: Arlene MacSween
Arlene MacSween has been the Office Manager at the Humane Society since 2002. It is clear to see the love that Arlene has for both animals and people.
She supervises all office staff to ensure that all customers and residents are treated with compassion. In addition, Arlene works hard to partner people with the right animals. She counsels new adopters, prospective adopters and provides support for those who have recently lost a pet. She also brings in animals that can no longer be cared for and provides support for both the animal and the owner.
Here at the Humane Society we are lucky to have an individual that cares so deeply for both people and animals. She listens, understands and works to help all.
Next time you get ready to adopt a forever friend Arlene will be there to help you!
Adoption Counselor: Cheryl Brown
Cheryl Brown began her work at the Humane Society of Ventura County in 1982 when the current building opened. She originally served as office manager for two years before moving to Northern California. During the interim, Cheryl worked for the Humane Society of Napa County as office manager. She also ran day care from her home and was a homemaker for her children.
As an adoption counselor, Cheryl is responsible for partnering the right people with the right animals, answering telephone questions, educating prospective adopters about proper care of animals and assisting with grief counseling.
Outside of the Shelter, Cheryl enjoys many water sports including swimming and snorkeling. She also loves horseback riding, dining and watching a good movie. More than anything, Cheryl loves spending time with her three wonderful grandchildren.
Here at the Humane Society we are lucky to have such a wonderful individual. Cheryl always has a smile on her face and joke to tell. You can hear her laughter throughout the shelter. Come by and visit Cheryl and her faithful companions, Fancy and Lily, when you get ready to adopt your next family member. They will be more than happy to help you!
Adoption Counselor: Linda Allison
Linda has been a dedicated member of the Humane Society since 1990 when she came in looking for a job and ended up finding her life's love and purpose. She is a lifelong animal lover who has two black and white tuxedo cats who she lovingly calls her "Orcas;" one dog, "Hero Joe;" and Sassy Sally, who is not just a Mustang, but the love of her life.
Here at the Humane Society, Linda charges herself to the care of all of the animals of Ventura County and the people that care for them. She helps match people with the right animal and makes sure that all animals at the shelter are accounted for. She provides rescue numbers and referrals when needed and helps intake animals that can no longer be kept by their owners. She has worn many "hats" while at the Humane Society. She has been a kennel attendant, the office manager and the volunteer coordinator.
When you get ready to adopt your next forever friend be sure to say hello to Linda. You can't miss her! She is the red head with the big smile and lots of helpful hints. She will be happy to help you!
Adoption Counselor: Willow Malone
Willow Malone came to the Humane Society of Ventura County in 2011 with a passion for helping animals. She has always found herself upset at the thought of animals being abused or neglected and wanted to be the voice for those that can't speak for themselves.
Willow is a Nordhoff High School graduate who is furthering her studies at Ventura College while serving as an adoption counselor at the HSVC.
Here Willow assists customers with finding the right animals for their families, answering questions, making spay and neuter appointments and helping match owners up to their missing pets. In addition to this Willow from time to time serves as a Kennel Attendant and assists with a wide variety of office duties.
Outside of work Willow enjoys spending time with her friends, attending concerts and finding all the best places to grab a cup of coffee.
Willow loves the HSVC because of the family like atmostphere and we love her because of all that she does for the animals of Ventura County and the people that care for them. So, when you come in to find your newest Forever Friend, Willow will be the smiling face right behind the coffee cup and the friendly hello.
Adoption Counselor: Betty Jo MacCaughtry
After a 25 year career in health care and human resources, Betty Jo thought it was the right time to start volunteering with the Humane Society. In January of 2012 she started as a volunteer. She then completed the Animal Ambassador program, hoping to fulfill her lifelong dream of helping animals.
When the opportunity arose to become an employee, that goal was achieved. As an adoption counselor she can now help find homes for those lost, abandoned and abused animals and hopefully connect them with their "forever homes."
Here at the Humane Society, Betty Jo charges herself to the care of all of the animals of Ventura County and the people that care for them. She helps match people with the right animal and makes sure that all animals at the shelter are accounted for. She provides rescue numbers and referrals when needed and helps intake animals that can no longer be kept by their owners. In addition to all of this she also manages the HSVC Gift Shop.
Here at the HSVC we are lucky to have such a dedicated voice for the animals of Ventura County and such a wonderful individual to work with.
Kennel Manager: Rebecca Holder
Rebecca Holder joined the team at the Humane Society in 2004 as the Kennel Manager after 15 years as a professional dog groomer.
As the Kennel Manager, Rebecca is charged with overseeing the care of all animals at the shelter. She is responsible for making sure that all animals receive proper nutrition, medications, vaccinations, are spayed and neutered and well groomed. She is also a Euthanasia Technician who performs owner requested euthanasia when individuals in the community bring their sick or elderly animals in to humanely end their suffering. She is also responsible for evaluating all incoming animals, introducing them to prospective owners and educating adopters about proper animal care.
Next time you come in to look to adopt a new family member be sure to say hello to Rebecca. She will be happy to help answer any of your adoption or animal care questions!
Assistant Kennel Manager: Angela Hanline
Angela Hanline came to the Humane Society to use her skills and training to help the animals of Ventura County. She is a lifelong animal lover who from a young age was charged with helping sick animals. She was, and occasionally still is, called Ellie May. Here, she makes sure that all animals receive proper nutrition, have clean bedding, fresh water, and are bathed. She also assists in making sure that all animals receive proper veterinary care and medication.
Next time you come in to look to adopt a new family member be sure to say hello to Angela. She will be either upstairs or downstairs making sure that all of the animals are cared for.
Kennel Attendant: Jennifer Davidson
Jennifer Davidson joined the team at the Humane Society in 1990 as a Kennel Attendant because of her sincere love of animals. You can hear Jennifer down the halls lavishing the animals housed at the shelter with hugs, kisses and lots of love. She assures that the animals have clean housing, makes sure that animals have proper nutrition and are kept clean, groomed and healthy. She also assists with administration of medications and and vaccinations as needed. She also helps partner prospective adopters with the right animals and assists in safely introducing the animals here at the shelter to the prospective adopter's pets and family.
Next time you get ready to adopt a new family member, Jennifer will be happy to help you pick out the right pet! We here at the Humane Society are fortunate to have such a caring, loving and dedicated kennel attendant.
Kennel Attendant: Fabi Cruz

Staff reports
Enid News and Eagle
ENID, Okla. —
Salvation Army's annual Red Kettle Campaign has raised $63,000 so far, but donations are running behind what's needed.
"I'm very concerned about the lost kettle days this year and how this will impact our ability to help those who are hurting," said Capt. Ernest Hull. "The red kettles are a symbol of giving and represent a tradition of caring that is passed down from generation to generation."
The campaign got a late start, because of the late Thanksgiving date — losing five days, which equates to about $10,000 in donations, Hull said. Add to that several days of bad weather, when Salvation Army didn't put out kettles for safety reasons, and the situation becomes critical.
Donations coming in between now and the end of the year are vital in Salvation Army's ability to meet needs in Enid, he said.
"We're hoping that shoppers will remember their neighbors in need when they see a Salvation Army bell ringer in the community during the coming weeks and be as generous as they can to help." Hull said.
Money raised during the campaign helps provide meals and shelters for families in need, Christmas toys for children and other services throughout the year.
Donations can be made at the kettles at various businesses throughout town. or online at salvationarmyenid.org. Donations also can be mailed to Salvation Army, 516 N. Independence, Enid, OK 73701 or by calling (800) SAL-ARMY. Gifts of stock also are accepted, Hull said, by calling Salvation Army.

A publisher backed by one of the most powerful travel trade bodies is hoping to exploit what it claims is a gap in the market by launching a new
consumer travel magazine.
Absolute Publishing's new title will hit the news-stands in October, promising to become the "definitive guide" for holidaymakers.
The ace up its sleeve, claims Absolute, is its relationship with the Association of British Travel Agents, for whom it already publishes an official magazine.
Group sales and marketing director Anthony Leyens said: "Travel companies are enhancing consuming marketing over trade and wish to focus towards the end user. After conducting detailed research, we feel there is a major gap in the market for a comprehensive consumer travel publication covering all sectors of the industry. As such, we are perfectly positioned to take full advantage of this as the official publishers of ABTA."
With the working title of the ABTA Holiday Guide, Absolute claims the magazine has received considerable interest from advertisers preparing to target next summer's travellers.
Leyens said the glossy, 300-plus page mag, priced £2.95, would include comprehensive advice and features on a range of holidays from bargain breaks to luxury getaways.Although starting out as bi-annual, the publisher plans to turn the magazine, which has an initial print run of 80,000, into a monthly publication if it is a success.

'Now I have Jesus in my life I feel good in my heart': Sunderland footballer Kieran Richardson speaks out about his Christian faith
Sunderland footballer Kieran Richardson has spoken of how he has transformed his life, leaving behind his wayward socialite ways, since becoming a Christian. Last night, he told a meeting at Good Word Ministries church, in Langley Moor, County Durham, how unhappy he was living 'the good life.'
The 27-year-old England international told the 100 strong congregation: 'Five years ago all I cared about was going out, clothing and looking good. I wasn't happy. Now I have Jesus Christ in my life and I feel good in my heart,' he said.
The 27-year-old England international went public about his faith in December when he celebrated scoring in the Premier League at Wolverhampton Wanderers by revealing a vest declaring 'I belong to Jesus'. He said: 'I started thinking about money rather than the football. I'd go out with my friends after a game to nightclubs, get drunk and meet women. I did that for a very long time.
'If you were on the outside looking in, you would think I was living the good life. But I wasn't happy. My last year in my Manchester (United) career, my football went off the rails. I was more worried about my social life than my football. I knew I wasn't performing because I was more interested in houses and cars.'
When his father asked why he had gone 'off the boil', Richardson broke down in tears, he admitted. But after Richardson joined Sunderland in 2007, his future wife, Natalie Suliman, invited him to visit a church in the city. There, in his words, he gave his life to Christ.
He said: 'I felt so special. It was a crazy feeling. My life changed. It didn't change straightaway. It was a gradual thing; it has been a gradual process. My faith is so strong now, the way I look at life is completely different.'
Richardson said his calling on earth was to give praise to God and, after retiring from football, he wanted to spread the word of God in the Developing World. He urged people to live in faith, not fear; and said God wanted them in Heaven, not Hell.

They are really getting panicky. :D
Husb2Sparkly Donating Member (1000+ posts) J Sun Sep-14-08 06:21 PM
Original message
Sunday afternoon musings - I'm scaring the shit out of myself.
What if McPalin wins?
The Bush years will seem like the good old days.
McCain is an old man who is, I suspect, too tired to actually govern. He no longer stands for anything apart from simply winning. In another time and another place, I am reasonably sure he had actual principles. He had a personal set of fundamental beliefs. But not any more. Now it is ..... just ..... about ...... winning.
And then he'll retire. While in office. Sure, he'll stay on as the titular head of government, but he won't be governing. A bunch of unelected people will be running things.
Do you recall his calling the political religiosos 'agents of intolerance'? That was pretty cool. Now, sadly, he has thrown that principled stand aside and given those same agents' kids the keys to the front door. He named one of their own - a real religious nut job - as his heir and successor.
That's pretty damned frighting. As bad as Bush is/was, a McCain presidency will be worse. Every right wing vermin will be scurrying from the darkness to the light. And standing tall, proud, and in your liberal face, daring you to try something in that certitudinous way that only repubicans and religious nutfuckers can muster.
The Supremes will be the first to go down. I would not be one bit surprised to see Falwell's kid get a seat. Or Palin's pastor from The North BumFuck Pentecostal Church and Snake Farm.
John McCain is a walking study in ennui. He really doesn't give a shit. If he did, he would not have Rove and Schmidt behind him, just based on what they did to him and his kid in 2000. But no. He has them because winning is more important than being a man. He has the religious nutters' sweetheart, Puckhead - and all the baggage ***that** coughs up - as his new BFF. Because winning to him, is more important than principle.
McCain likes to say how much he reveres Barry Goldwater.
Barry Goldwater lived and died a man of principle. I admired Barry Goldwater.
John McCain is not fit to drive that ham radio laden Firebird Barry used to drive.
John McCain's not fit to any longer invoke his name.
John McCain's not even a real man.
But if he wins ....... these will have been ........ the last best days.

Since the start of the new school year, traffic congestion on US 25 (Berea Road) around the road construction zone near Kroger has increased in the afternoon.
When Clark-Moores Middle School dismisses students at 2:50 p.m., a Richmond police officer is stationed on the road outside the school to direct traffic and assist buses and parents' vehicles trying to exit the parking lot.
According to Natasha Lacy, public relations officer for the Kentucky Transport Cabinet in Lexington, construction crews are preparing to begin work on the northbound left-turn lane onto the Eastern Bypass.
The state expects all four lanes at the Bypass/Berea Road intersection to open by early December, she said, but completion of the project by then depends on the weather.

I've often described "Grassroots" as a comedy about two slacker dudes who jump into a local election. Everything about their campaign is wrong. The more bombastic of the two, Grant Cogswell, is the candidate, obsessed with unseating Richard McIver, the only African American member of Seattle's City Council. His friend, Phil Campbell, is bitter that he's been fired from an alt weekly paper and just wants to get even with the world by making a mess.
I've liked thinking of it as a comedy. But all along it was the dramatic issues in the piece that pulled me forward. There were basically two issues – the fact that the dudes were forced to grow up as the campaign got serious and the issue of racism in the movie. I tried to keep this second issue relatively under the surface. My hope was that there would be an increasingly uncomfortable feeling in the audience as the film careened forward.
I knew that there was a really wonderful resolution, so I knew I could push the issue a bit. This is based on a true story and the ending sat in the truth of what the two real people did. But I did need to strengthen that truth where I could. The issue of the handshake came to Justin Rhodes (the other writer) and I basically in stages.
