How To Meditate
What is it that people seek?
What we seek is actually, at the deepest level, some aspect of our own nature. For example we may come to meditation wanting to be more conscious, to have more wisdom or knowledge, or to be happier and more peaceful. Yet, the great teachers and spiritual traditions have taught that these are intrinsic qualities of our own soul or true nature, and we only need to find a way to discover it. For many, meditation - the calm and steady flowing of our attention to the pure aspect of our being- is the way.
We tend to experience much of life through thought; our preconceived ideas about what we are experiencing rather than experiencing it directly. Through the practice of meditation we learn to let the thoughts subside and to experience the reality of the moment directly.
Meditation is easy and natural. It is simply being awake, and aware, in the present moment.
As a result of taking this class, you will be able to recognize the four stages of meditation and begin daily practice immediately.

October 3 & 4, 2009, Arroyo Grande, California.
CorkStop Studios in Arroyo Grande is hosting The Art of Encaustic Painting - Beginners workshop– on Saturday and Sunday, October 3/4, 2009 (10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.).
Encaustic wax was used over 2500 years ago by the Greeks, and is composed of beeswax, tree resin, and pigment, applied hot and fused to create a beautiful, translucent, sensuous quality that can’t be achieved using paints alone. Today contemporary artists are rediscovering the magic of this ancient art form.
Instructor Lynn Kishiyama will guide the student in the techniques of brushing, scraping, layering and pouring wax on a variety of supports. Lynn is an accomplished contemporary artist and a vibrant and dynamic instructor who through her passion and expertise will make the encaustic experience enjoyable and rewarding.
Workshop fee: $165 per day: Includes all encaustic materials, heating tools and equipment.
Complete information about this workshop and others offered at CorkStop Studios is available online at www.CorkStopStudios.com under News and Events. Please email info@CorkStopStudios.com to check availability. To reserve your place, payment in full is required. Make your check payable to Carol Paquet and mail to CorkStop Studios, 1250 Judith Lane, Arroyo Grande, CA 93420.

“Day-To-Day Buddhism”
With Dharma Teacher Khedrup Zangmo -
Also November 1, December 6 -
This meditation practice and teaching will focus on bringing our practice into our lives and world. Buddhism offers many methods to relieve suffering in our own lives and in the lives of others. Nobody wants to suffer and everyone wants to be happy. Learning to meditate with trained guidance can ease our suffering and truly transform our lives. Learning to take these experiences out in the world truly transforms us and the world we live in. We will discuss taking our sitting and other practices into our daily lives and finding the space in our busy lives for practice.
Khedrub Zangmo has been studying and practicing Buddhism for over 25 years. Under the guidance of the highly respected meditation master Lama Gendun Rinpoche, she took monastic vows and completed two consecutive three-year retreats at Dhagpo Kundreul Ling in central France . After completing her second retreat in 1997, Khedrub lived in the women’s monastery established by Gendun Rinpoche and began teaching Buddhism in centers, schools and organizations in Europe and in the USA . At the request of Shamar Rinpoche, Khedrub moved back to the US in 2000. Khedrub is currently a resident teacher of the Pasadena Bodhi Path Center.

DANIELA SCHACHTER: Here's a singing/jazz piano vocalist that has worked with Clayton-Hamilton Orchestra and Christian McBride. Hey, just saying. Putting art over commerce in her approach, Schachter has paid her dues and knows how to put her own spin on a tune. The kind of set a mainstream jazzbo will take to heart easily as the readings aren't straight, reliable ones, but they aren't ars gratia artis either. Everyone is on the same page and the results are smoking. A solid set that will easily resonate with the lightly, left leaning.

injuries through bicycling, will be coming through San Luis Obispo County.
There will be approximately 120 bike riding veterans, most of them having served

riders as they proceed through the downtown area.
If you have a quick moment on October 7th at 12:45 pm, please come join us on
Monterey Street in front of the Court House or on Higuera Street to support our
veterans.
Lastly there will be a dinner provided for the injured veterans on October 7th

one of the soldiers, send a $12 check written to "Fitness Challenge Foundation”,
P.O. Box 764, Pismo Beach, CA 93448. Please include a short note, and we will
make sure the soldier receives it with their meal.

RECLAIMING OUR HEARTS: FRIENDS ON A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY
8 Thursdays beginning October 8th at 10 am at St. Benedict’s, Los Osos.
We invite you to join us on a mythical and spiritual journey! Each of us lives a fairy tale: that is, some
unconscious myth, some guiding "story", has been at work on us, forming us and even serving up our
fates. And until we know that "story" - the myth that lives within us - we may have little grasp of our
own value, and little sense of who we are really meant to be. But as we share our stories with others, we
can create a circle of friendship that will support us as we grow into the persons we are meant to be.
Using Gertrud Mueller Nelson's book, "Here All Dwell Free", we'll re-tell two classic fairy tales: "The
Handless Maiden" and "Briar Rose." These tales, and Nelson's commentary, give us opportunities to look
at our own stories, and then find the healing that brings spiritual growth. Sponsored by the Hollister
Institute at St. Benedict?s, the class will be led by Marianne Stowe, M.TS. and Donna Ross, M.Div. To
register for the class, contact Marianne at stowem@sbcglobal.net or Donna at donnaross@charter.net.

How Did My Cell Phone End Up in China?

Have you ever wondered where your old cell phone, soda can, newspaper, or plastic water bottle ends up once it leaves your recycling bin? On Friday, October 9th, from 5:30-7:00 pm, the AFS Gallery is holding a panel discussion “How Did My Cell Phone End Up in China?” with Mario Borgatello, President of Marborg Industries and Eric Lohela, former Recycling Coordinator for the City of Santa Barbara.
Every day in the United States, more than 400,000 cell phones are retired. Every five minutes, Americans use about 2,000,000 plastic beverage bottles, and more than 1,000,000 aluminum cans. Many of us recycle these items, but most of us don’t know how or where they are ultimately processed. Lohela and Borgatello will discuss today’s recycling system from start to end and answer the question “How Did My Cell Phone End Up in China?”
This event is free to the public and is part of the Plastic Planet Group Exhibition, which runs from September 26th – October 24th at the AFS Gallery.

Comedy night with Brad Stine to benefit Coastal Christian School.
PISMO BEACH—Nationally known, stand-up comedian Brad Stine is returning to the Central Coast for a special performance at New Life Community Church on Friday, October 9, at 7 p.m. Admission is $10, and 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the building fund for Coastal Christian School’s new campus.
A former magician, Stine has appeared on Evening at the Improv, CNN, FOX News, MTV, Comedy Central and New Yorker Magazine. He has also toured with Promise Keepers. His comedy material challenges America’s preoccupation with political correctness and instead encourages personal responsibility and a return to moral standards.
Nearly 1,000 people attended Stine’s performance last October in Pismo Beach. The comedy show has limited, general seating, so early ticket purchase is recommended. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Teens are invited to enjoy the show.
Tickets are available at Coastal Christian School, located at 1220 Farroll Ave. in Arroyo Grande, or call the school office at 489-1213. Tickets can also be purchased online at www.coastalchristianschool.com. New Life Community Church is located at 990 James Way in Pismo Beach.

Few classically trained ensembles could even attempt to work hip-hop into their mix, but Project is busy breaking all the rules—and to critical acclaim. Balancing a sincere allegiance to their classical roots with elements of world music, jazz, and hip hop (flutist Greg Patillo’s “beatbox flute” is truly remarkable), this flute, cello and bass trio has the classical-fusion world standing on its ear.
Master’s degree musicians with degrees from the Cleveland Institute of Music and Rice University, Project’s versatile and accessible programs jump skillfully “out of the box”, enthusiastically beckoning a new generation of music lovers as no other ensemble can.
Members of the trio are the aforementioned Greg Patillo, who is recognized throughout the world for his redefinition of flute sound. His “beatbox flute”videos on Youtube have been viewed more than 12 million times. He enjoys freelancing as a soloist, and in addition to Project, he is a member of the Lalo Quintet.
Cellist Eric Stephenson’s style ranges from classical to jazz to rock and folk. He is currently a member of the IRIS Chamber Orchestra in Memphis, TN, and the Colorado Music Festival. He has played with the Canton Symphony Orchestra, the Cleveland Orchestra, and has appeared as a soloist with the Cleveland Institute of Music Symphony Orchestra and the National Repertory Orchestra in Breckinridge, CO.
Peter Seymour, bassist, has performed with a multitude of highly acclaimed artists and ensembles, including Wynton Marsalis, Roy Hargrove and Bobby McFerrin. He received the Downbeat Magazine’s Award for Best Jazz Soloist in 1996.Peter has been very active in planning and performing community outreach activities throughout the country.

Breakfast to Protect Darfur Women and Children
|

Contact: Lauren Hutkin 805-540-1354 laurenhutkin@sbcglobal.net
|
| |
|
In Darfur millions have been forced into refugee camps. People living in the camps are relatively safe as long as they stay inside the camp. However, women and girls must leave the camp to collect firewood for cooking, and when they do they are often violently assaulted. Solar cookers require no wood, so the women and girls can remain safely in the camp.
Lauren Hutkin is collecting donations and selling tickets to a pancake breakfast to be held on Saturday, October 10, 2009, from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. at the Applebees at 305 Madonna Road in San Luis Obispo . Tickets are $7.00 each, and $5.00 from every ticket sold and all donations will be used to purchase solar cookers for the refugees. Every $30 raised supports one refugee family by providing two solar cookers, necessary accessories, and training to use the solar cookers. In refugee camps where the solar cookers have been provided, there has been an 86% reduction in trips out of the camp to look for firewood.
For more information, to make a donation, or to purchase tickets, please call or text Lauren at (805) 540-1354, or email her at laurenhutkin@sbcglobal.net. You can also just send a check to 1229 Higuera Street, San Luis Obispo, California, 93401 and tell her how many tickets you want or if you just want to make a donation. Checks made payable to Jewish World Watch which is the refugee support group Lauren is working with are tax deductible.

FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH’S RUMMAGE SALE ON OCTOBER 10
Opportunity to Win a 14’ Sailboat for $10
The First Congregational Church, at the corner of State Street and Padre in downtown Santa Barbara, is holding a big rummage sale on October 10, Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. It will be a five-hour treasure hunt for clothing, books, CD’s, toys, tableware, small appliances, and sports equipment at unbelievable prices. Most items are used, some are still in their wrappers, and a few are bona fide antiques. A room will be set aside for jewelry and other valuables.
Apart from its religious function, the Church serves the community in myriad ways. Its members serve meals monthly at Transition House and Casa Esperanza. The Dorcas Circle—women committed to check on and look out for each other—meets weekly to make quilts for at risk babies. A percentage of the church’s annual income is donated to charity, and its premises are utilized by groups such as Alcoholic Anonymous.
Recycling is a practice consistent with the congregation’s long-standing philosophy to live simply, so as to conserve resources for future generations. “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without!” is an oft-quoted saying. However, this attitude is regaining popularity with others seeking to reduce their carbon footprints. In the current economic downturn, the old idea has even become chic! Church members have been collecting articles for the sale since spring. The public is welcome to donate items cluttering closets, hallways, attics, basements, and garages at the Padre Street entrance to the Church from 10 in the morning to noon on October 3, 5, 6, and 7 (Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday).
An opportunity to tow home a sporty 14’ sailboat in beautiful condition is available for $10 at the Rummage Sale. The Force V is a fiberglass boat similar to a Laser. When not in use, it can be left in the water, parked on a driveway, or stowed away in a garage. All equipment, including the trailer and two sails, is provided. The boat will be available for inspection at the Church on October 10. Drawing will take place before closing time at 1 p.m.

Join us October 10, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. for a free exciting discussion about Dan Brown’s book, Angels & Demons. This discussion will explore the concepts of Dan Browns book and we will look at the real science in a lecture titled, Angels & Demons: the Science Revealed.
Last May was the world movie premiere of Angels & Demons, an action-packed thriller based on Dan Brown’s best-selling novel that focuses on an apparent plot to destroy the Vatican using a small amount of antimatter. In the book and the movie, that antimatter is made using the Large Hadron Collider and is stolen from the European particle physics laboratory CERN. Parts of the movie were actually filmed at CERN. During this public lecture, Dr. Jennifer Klay, a Cal Poly Physics professor, will use this opportunity to tell the world about the real science of antimatter, the Large Hadron Collider and the excitement of particle physics research. You don’t want to miss this fascinating event!

End of Suburbia

Transition Paso Robles presents The End of Suburbia, a documentary film that asks whether today's suburbs are destined to become the slums of tomorrow; it will be shown on Saturday, October 10th, 7 PM at Centennial Park Community Center, 600 Nickerson Drive, Paso Robles. Information at: 221-5672.
More: Since World War II North Americans have invested much of their newfound wealth in suburbia. It has promised a sense of space, affordability, family life and upward mobility. As suburban sprawl has exploded in the past 50 years, so too has the suburban way of life become embedded in the American consciousness. Suburbia, and all it promises, has become the American Dream.
But as we enter the 21st century, serious questions are beginning to emerge about the sustainability of this way of life. With brutal honesty and a touch of irony, The End of Suburbia explores the American Way of Life and its prospects as the planet approaches a critical era when global demand for fossil fuels begins to outstrip supply. As energy prices skyrocket in the coming years, how will the populations of suburbia react to the collapse of their dream? Are today's suburbs destined to become the slums of tomorrow? And what can be done NOW, individually and collectively, to avoid The End of Suburbia?
Suburban dwellers of San Luis Obispo County can explore this conundrum by seeing the film and staying on for a lively post-film discussion.

On Sunday, October 11, 2009 from 1 pm-4 pm, San Luis Sustainability Group located near Santa Margarita (Tasajara Creek Rd. off Hwy 101) will be opening its doors for the national solar tour. Architects Ken Haggard and Polly Cooper are fellows in the American Solar Energy Society which organizes this event annually. (Tours take place throughout the nation to share the ways the sun can be used to power our lives.)
Passive solar techniques can be used to heat and cool buildings in our temperate climate. Daylight is another passive solar strategy that can reduce energy consumption since electric lighting consumes about 1/3 of the electricity used in buildings.
The mixed-use office, residence and shop facilities featured this year use all of the above passive solar strategies to reduce their need for energy from off-site. Conservation is key to creating buildings that require less energy. The bulk of the electricity used in this facility is generated on-site with solar electric panels. This off-grid facility is a showcase of green building methods and materials, utilizing straw bale construction and non-toxic materials. For directions, more information, and a complete listing of all tours, please visit www.nationalsolartour.org California tours: San Luis Obispo Solar Tour Open House.
A suggested $10 general and $5 student donation will gratefully be accepted to benefit the Mothers for Peace Scholarship fund which helps further the education of one high school and one college student each year.

Atascadero Lake Pavilion Community Room
Get ready for Colony Days a week early by coming out to the second annual Colony Days Sing-Along! Have fun while reliving the past with fond memories.
Thrill to the heart-pounding rhythms of the Big Band Era, and to exhilarating fireworks above the New York skyline. The free event blends singing with video clips. Come sing or just enjoy hearing popular old standards still known today. Although known and beloved today, these songs were tremendous hits at the time ‘The Colony’ was settled in 1915. See your favorite classic stars singing the great songs the likes of which they just don’t write anymore… stars such as Glenn Miller, Kate Smith, Sammy Kaye, the Andrews Sisters, Guy Lombardo and many more.
Enjoy this hour-long program Sunday October 11th, 2 p.m. at Atascadero’s Lake Pavilion. The multi-media extravaganza is hosted by local actor/singer and retired TV producer/newsman, Donn Clarius.
Experience a brief-but-authentic minstrel show. Enjoy many of your favorite Hollywood and radio stars singing the songs you remember, such as…
Alexander's Ragtime Band, Waiting For the Robt. E. Lee, Oh, You Beautiful Doll, Swanee, Bicycle Built for Two, the 1914 #1 hit that gave Colonists the inspiration to build Morro Road -- By the Beautiful Sea, and of course the powerhouse toe-tapper, Strike Up the Band! For so many of these songs we only remember the choruses, but there are verses as well. Come hear them!
· See the premier performance of a dearly beloved classic American song that was such an embarrassment to its composer that he hid it from the public for more than twenty years… the same song which motivated Woody Gurthrie to compose This Land Is Your Land!
· Sing our National Anthem’s "forgotten verse" which gave us our national motto, plus read the verse purged from Battle-Hymn of the Republic!

Chumash Art Legacy of the Central Coast
with Dr. Dan Krieger.
Dr.Krieger will present the lecture Chumash Art Legacy of the Center Coast which will investigate the hidden art treasures of the Central Coast’s first residents.
Numerous cave and rock paintings survive in our region. They are sites of incredible beauty.

Dan Krieger received his Ph.D. in European and African History from the University of California, Davis. He has taught at Cal Poly since 1971, where he still serves as a Professor of History Emeritus.
This Lecture & Tea is inspired by the Art Center’s current exhibit We Belong to the Earth: A Tribute to California’s Indigenous Traditions, in the Gray Wing from October 9– November 20, 2009.

Attend an information session about helping abused and neglected children. Men and Women over age 21 and bi-lingual volunteers needed!
CASA is a program in which trained community volunteers (CASAs) are appointed by a judge to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children in juvenile court proceedings.
There are approximately 500 abused and neglected children under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court in San Luis Obispo County. By becoming a CASA volunteer, you help ensure that these children receive needed services and a safe, permanent home. You’ll find being a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer is a gratifying experience that touches not only the life of a child but yours as well.
We urge all perspective volunteers to attend an information session at the CASA office or select Starbucks locations.
The CASA Guild, a social networking and fundraising group, is also recruiting new members.
Information Sessions at Starbucks:
Held the second Wednesday of every month at 6:30 pm.
Oct 14- Los Osos, 1230 Los Osos Valley Rd.
Nov 11- Pismo Beach, 501 Five Cities Dr.

THE MANY DIFFERENT CHRISTIANITIES

THE MANY DIFFERENT CHRISTIANITIES: Part 1
4 Wednesdays beginning October 14th at 7 pm at St. Benedict’s, Los Osos.
This 4-week class is the first part of a 4-part program considering the many different forms Christianity
has taken and does take today. Why are there so many different churches? Why do people who call
themselves Christians have such different beliefs? In Part 1 (Oct 14 – Nov 4) we will consider how the
early church evolved, and examine the different versions of the Christian message which developed in the
first few centuries. This was a time of many different groups and ideas who were, in modern terms, quite
isolated from each other. Some groups read texts which did not make it into the New Testament as we
have it. This class will argue that there never has been only one way of understanding Jesus Christ, his
message, life and work. (Parts 2, 3 and 4 will follow in 2010: part 2 will look at the major schisms in the
history of the church; part 3 will analyze the major differences between the principal Christian groups
today in North America, and part 4 will invite some people from other churches to share the way they
think about aspects of Christianity.) Part 1 will be taught by the Rev. Caroline Hall. For more information,

Great California Shakeout Drill

The magnitude 4.0 Templeton earthquake on September 5th (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsus/Quakes/nc71271840.php#details) is another reminder that California is earthquake country!
Every earthquake is a reminder also of the need to get prepared, and this earthquake is particularly timely; all Californians are encouraged to participate in this year's statewide "Great California ShakeOut Drill" on October 15th.
Over 4.3 million people are registered to participate, but only 33,000 are from the Central Coast. See http://www.shakeout.org/centralcoast for details, including which organizations are participating from San Benito, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara counties.
Everyone on the Central Coast is encouraged to participate in the ShakeOut! The first step is to register yourself or your family, and also your organization, business, or school, at http://www.shakeout.org/register. This makes sure you will be counted and receive information from the ShakeOut about how to participate and be prepared.
ShakeOut participants also help spread the word and encourage others to participate. After registering, you can tell others you know about your ShakeOut plans. Ask them to register to participate as well, so that your friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues will be safe and prepared! In particular, ask your children's school, your employer, or your elected officials. Flyers and other materials are at http://www.shakeout.org/resources.
Perhaps by October 15 there could be 330,000 Central Coast participants! Keep track at http://www.shakeout.org.

ROBOTS INVADE CLARK CENTER
The Arroyo Grande High School Theatre Ensemble will present R-U-R: Reason’s Universal Robots, a science fiction fantasy by Karel Capek October 15-17, 2009 in the Clark Center Studio Theatre. All performances are at 7:30. Tickets will only available at the door on performance nights.
R-U-R: Reason’s Universal Robots holds a unique place in the history of science fiction. It was in this play that the word “robot” was first used in the English language to mean an artificial life form. The Czech word robota means "drudgery" or "servitude"; a robotnik is a pesant or serf. R.U.R. was written by Karel Capek in 1920, premiered in Prague early in 1921, was performed in New York in 1922, and published in English translation in 1923. Before I, Robot, before Metropolis, before Terminator, before Star Wars or Transformers, before genetic engineering or stem cell research, there was R.U.R. This is the prototypical robots-taking-over-the-world story.
R-U-R: Reason’s Universal Robots will be presented in the Clark Center Studio Theatre, an intimate “black box” performance space. The Clark Center Theatre is located at the corner of Valley Road and Fair Oaks Avenue in Arroyo Grande. From the north, take the Fair Oaks exit off of 101 and turn right. From the South, take the Traffic Way exit off of 101, then turn left on Fair Oaks over the freeway to Valley.
R-U-R: Reason’s Universal Robots will be performed three times only, October 15, 16 & 17 at 7:30. All seats are $10, and are available only at the door, starting at 6:30 each night. Tickets for this show will not be available through the Clark Center box office.

Transition Paso Robles presents The End of Suburbia, a documentary film that asks whether today's suburbs are destined to become the slums of tomorrow; it will be shown on Saturday, October 16th, 7 PM at Centennial Park Community Center, 600 Nickerson Drive, Paso Robles. Information at: 221-5672.
More: Since World War II North Americans have invested much of their newfound wealth in suburbia. It has promised a sense of space, affordability, family life and upward mobility. As suburban sprawl has exploded in the past 50 years, so too has the suburban way of life become embedded in the American consciousness. Suburbia, and all it promises, has become the American Dream.
But as we enter the 21st century, serious questions are beginning to emerge about the sustainability of this way of life. With brutal honesty and a touch of irony, The End of Suburbia explores the American Way of Life and its prospects as the planet approaches a critical era when global demand for fossil fuels begins to outstrip supply. As energy prices skyrocket in the coming years, how will the populations of suburbia react to the collapse of their dream? Are today's suburbs destined to become the slums of tomorrow? And what can be done NOW, individually and collectively, to avoid The End of Suburbia ? Suburban dwellers of North County can explore this conundrum by seeing the film and staying on for a lively post-film discussion.

The Circle of Spiritual Enlightenment presents a lecture and demonstration of Sound Healing by Alan Howarth and Christine Grimm. Find out about the amazing healing qualities of music.
7-9pm on Friday, October 16 at The Circle of Spiritual Enlightenment in SLO.
Alan is a Los Angeles-based film composer and creator of the RA Natural Frequency Music® system. Christine M. Grimm is a Santa Barbara sound therapist. Together they will demonstrate their work in the field of Sound Healing.
Unlike ordinary western music which is heard with the ears, RA Music can be felt throughout the entire body and has proven to be intensely healing. Alan and Wes Bateman developed a patented process to convert any recording of standard music in RA tunings. The lecture will include a demonstration comparing music in both tunings. In conclusion, Christine M. Grimm will lead the group in a toning circle using the RA tuning. This will be a profound experience. Please join us!

PASO WINERY ANNOUNCES GRAND OPENING EVENTS FOR OCTOBER 17 - 18
Rockin’ R Winery, Paso Robles’ newest winery and tasting room, will be celebrating its Grand Opening on October 17 and 18, 2009, from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm during the Paso Robles Harvest Festival. The small family-owned and operated facility specializes in Italian-based blends made from Paso Robles AVA grapes which the proprietors have dubbed “Super-Roblans”(tm).
Saturday, October 17, special events include live music by local favorites “JD Project” from 12:30 - 5:30 pm, Tuscan foods, wine tasting, and an insiders’ peek at how a boutique winery turns grapes into wine. A $10 fee for those 21 and older includes all music and events, food, wine tasting, and a souvenir international standard wine tasting glass.
Sunday, October 18, special events include Tuscan foods, wine tasting, tours and Rockin’ R Winery’s first annual “Rockin’ Stomp for the Arts”, a fund raising event to benefit local arts associations. For a suggested donation of $5 per person, visitors will be invited to remove their shoes and socks, roll-up their pants or skirts, and experience the feel of traditional pisage (foot crushing) of grapes for as long as their heart desires. (Stairs and cleansing rinses will be provided for both entry and exit). Kids are also welcome to attend this fun family event, and participants will be photographed in action. Proceeds from this event will go to ARTS Obispo (San Luis Obispo County Arts Council) and Paso Robles Art Association, while the resulting finished wine will be offered at future fund raising events for the arts.
Grapes for “Rockin’ Stomp for the Arts” are being kindly donated by Sculpterra Winery and Sculpture Garden (5125 Linne Road, Paso Robles). All facilities, equipment, labor and wine making are donated by Rockin’ R Winery.

Home Movie Day

Greetings to all film lovers, home movie makers and local historians!
On Saturday, October 17th San Luis Obispo will be hosting an event in celebration of the home movie: Home Movie Day! Home Movie Day is an international event that was started in 2002 by a group of film archivists who were concerned with the preservation of home movies, so many of which are lost due to improper storage or are simply thrown away. Although easy to overlook in light of our large commercial film industry, home movies can often provide a very revealing look at our personal lives, family traditions, cultures and histories. Rather than let these films disappear, Home Movie Day is an opportunity to view some of those old films you may have lying around and to get information about how to preserve, transfer, or even donate films to archives. And although it is easy to have films transferred to VHS or DVD, oftentimes, if properly stored, film can actually outlast these formats. So don't throw out those old films!!! As far as the event in San Luis Obispo is concerned, we will be able to project 8mm, super 8 and 16mm FILM, not video or dvd. Depending on participation, there will likely be a limit to how many films each person can have screened, so it would be best to pick out a few you would like to see. If you are unsure what is on your film, we can arrange for you to view it prior to the screenings. Also, all are welcome to attend, whether you are bringing a film or not. Invite family, friends and neighbors...there's bound to be some pretty interesting stuff and no doubt a good trip down memory lane. It will be held at the San Luis Obispo Senior Center, 1445 Santa Rosa St. Films can be dropped off at the senior center between 12 and 2pm, the screenings will be from 2-5. If you do have films that you can get in ahead of time, don't hesitate to call Genevieve Maxwell at 415-252-9042, or locally Janice Maxwell at 805-438-4120. We hope to see you there!

“Working with the Emotions”
With Dharma Teacher Bart Mendel -
Also November 22, December 27 -
Disturbing emotional states such as attachment, aggression, ignorance, pride and jealousy create confusion for ourselves and others. From a Buddhist point of view, emotions can be transformed into the wisdom energy of the enlightened mind. This course will explore how to work with emotions in meditation and in our daily lives.
Bart Mendel has been a Buddhist practitioner and teacher for over 30 years and has taught the Dharma extensively throughout the US , Canada and Europe . From years of mixing the dharma with an endless stampede of worldly challenges, Bart’s teaching style has evolved into a natural blend of eloquence, insightfulness and humor. In 1997, he accepted an invitation with his wife Suzan Garner to open a Bodhi Path Buddhist Center in Santa Barbara where he served as Resident Teacher for over ten years. Bart and Suzan oversee a number of major dharma projects, including serving as Directors for Siddhartha Foundation International.

This revised and updated handbook will help readers pinpoint their career goals and identify the skills they already possess, as well as develop the new skills they will need to find the perfect job.
Synopsis -
Now in its third edition, Howard Figler's classic job-search handbook puts you in the driver's seat, on the road to where the jobs really are. Figler's unique program has been revised and updated to let you not only decide what your ideal job may be, but also discover exactly where that job is. The program has been expanded to describe thirty lifetime job-hunting skills, as well as Twenty Lessons from the Front, a list of potential pitfalls for job seekers to be aware of. This third edition enables you to:
- Determine what your true work and life values are
- Pinpoint the job skills you already possess, even those you aren't aware of
- Find jobs when there seem to be none
- Learn how to be at your best in job interviews
- Utilize a professional career counselor's advice to troubleshoot
potential problems.
Figler writes for all stages of career development, with action plans for the first-time job seeker, the professional looking for a change, the suddenly laid-off, and the person returning to the workforce after a long absence. Howard Figler knows the right job is out there, and with clarity, humor, and reassuring good sense, he shows you how to find it.
Howard Figler, Ph.D., provides career workshops, career consultation, and job-search services for businesses, professional associations, government agencies, and universities. He is a nationally known speaker and lives in Morro Bay, California.

Following on from major success at radio, press plus ARIA (GRAMMY) nomination's for each of her three albums in the “Best Female Artist” and ARIA winner for “Best Blues & Roots Album” Mia has moved to the US to follow the road of the many great American artists she was weaned on as young girl by her parents .Mia continues touring North America as she follows in the footsteps of her mentors, performing at many of the great music venues and festivals across the country.
She’s a guitarist, songwriter and singer, but it’s her voice, more guttural than just
gravely, more touched than merely smoky, that is the showstopper. Skinny young
white girls aren’t supposed to sound this big and soulful.”
Sydney Morning Herald (Australian Daily).
Loaded with deeply felt, closely milked ballads, Cold Water is a stark, soulful
wonder, driven by Dyson’s husky temptress of a voice and her very spare, very bluesy guitar picking and strumming” (four stars) Jeff Apter, Rolling Stone.
Her soulful lyrics, extraordinary guitar playing and her gritty, yet gorgeously haunting voice
have garnered her national tours sharing the stage with iconic artists including, Eric
Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, Joe Cocker and played at many festivals including Montreaux Jazz Festival, Byron Bay Blues and Roots Festivals (Aus) Winnipeg Folk Festival (Canada) , WOMAD, Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, Salmon Arm Blues and Roots Festival, Vancouver Island Folk Festival, Central Park NY Summer Stage w/Ani DiFranco.

Wellspring Detoxification Workshop
|
|
| |
|
Contact: Sandy Muran (805) 548-0987 tconklin@barnettcox.com
|
| |
|
People generally feel better when they remove toxins from their bodies. And they can learn how by attending the Wellspring Detoxification Workshop set for Oct. 20 and 27.
The informative sessions, sponsored by Wellspring Health Services and Longevity Healthcare and presented by nutritionist and health educator Sandy Muran, will take place on two Tuesday evenings, Oct. 20 and 27, 6-9 p.m., at Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort in Avila Beach. Cost is $65 and reservations are required. Call (805) 548-0987 by Oct. 16.
At the workshop, participants will learn how to identify their exposure to common toxins. They will also take home a simple plan for detoxifying their bodies in just three weeks.
Processed foods are a common source of toxic substances, including aluminum found in cheese and artificial sweeteners in the diet products we rely on to lose weight. Dry cleaning agents also contain toxic chemicals, and there is lead in red lipstick.
“It’s a toxic world out there,” Muran said, “and I have a lot of tips to share on minimizing our exposure and mobilizing our organs to remove toxins from the body.”
The event begins Oct. 20 with a light dinner prepared by the Gardens of Avila restaurant and a talk by Muran, “Staying Vibrant in the 21st Century.” The following Tuesday, she will discuss what to expect from detoxification efforts and how to launch a personal detoxification program.
Longevity Healthcare is located at 1405 Garden Street, San Luis Obispo. For more information, call (805) 548-0987, or go online to www.longevityhealthcare.com.

International Day of Action on Climate Change

Cambria Climate Action Group has accepted the invitation of 350.org to take one day and use it to stop the climate crisis. 350 is the most important number on earth. A year ago, our greatest climatologist—NASA’s James Hansen—and his team produced a landmark series of studies. They showed that if we let the amount of carbon in the atmosphere top 350 parts per million, we can’t have a planet “similar to the one on which civilization developed and to which life on earth is adapted.” When the world’s leaders meet in Copenhagen in December to reach agreement on a new climate treaty, we need them to go farther than they’ve planned to go: we need to make sure they’ll pay attention to the latest science and put forward a plan that gets us back to safety.
On October 24, Cambria’s Shamel Park will be host to one of over 1700 events in at least 140 countries to make that most important number visible to everyone. Each event will gather for a big group photo that somehow depicts 350. By the end of the day, there will be a powerful visual petition linking together the entire planet that we can deliver to the media and world leaders. Live music of Jill Knight, Sleepy Guitar Johnson and My Havelina, food, silent auction, Monterey pine seedling planting and more. Visit www.Cambria350.org for more information. This is even more important than changing your light bulb—this is your chance to help change the way the whole world operates. It’s a great chance to take a stand—maybe the last great chance, given what the scientists tell us about the momentum of climate change. This is like a final exam for human beings. Can we muster the courage, the commitment, and the creativity to set this earth on a steady course before it's too late? October 24 will be the joyful, powerful day when we prove it's possible.

-A children's book -
Meet Hunter, a dark-furred pug who faces rejection because of the color of his fur. It is his courage and his sister's wisdom that helped him discover the importance of being different.
As a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, Destry Ramey has dedicated her life to children. The children in her practice along with her son's two pugs, Hunter and Ramona, have inspired her to write this debut book. A member of the society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, Destry Ramey has written for both medical and educational purposes in the past. After being diagnosed with cancer, Ramey found that her son's pugs provided her with an incredible amount of healing energy that she was able to return to them after they developed a similar cancer. All three of them are now doing well.

On October 24th, 2009 from 3:50pm - 7:00pm SLO community members will have the opportunity to participate in San Luis Obispo’s first ever Carrot Mob event at the Quick Stop Market on 2600 Broad Street in San Luis Obispo as part of the 350.org International Day of Climate Action. During this roughly 3 hour period 40% of all revenues generated by the Quick Stop Market will be reinvested back into energy efficiency upgrades to the store.
In early September, the SLO Carrot Mob team began getting “bids” from all independently owned liquor stores in SLO. Business owners were asked “What percentage of the revenues you make during the Carrot Mob event would you be willing to re-invest into your store to make it more energy efficient?” The first bid started at 15% and eight bids later Quick Stop Market won with a 40% bid. As the winner, the Quick Stop Market will receive a free professional energy audit from Energy Efficiency Solutions and a “mob” of consumers on October 24th giving them a surplus of capital to make energy efficient investments in their store.
During the Carrot Mob at the Quick Stop Market there will be music, educational info about climate change and being a smart consumer, and a Food Bank donation bin.
The San Luis Obispo Carrot Mob event is proud to be part of the 350.org International Day of Climate Action. www.350.org/slocarrotmob.
All are encouraged to visit the Quick Stop Market on October 24th between 3:50pm - 7:00pm and buy some beer, wine or snacks!

SoulAviv Will Rock the House!
Join us for an evening of "Music with Jewish Soul" as Congregation Ohr Tzafon hosts SoulAviv in concert.
SoulAviv’s music is infused with the sounds of Motown soul, gospel, traditional spirituals, reggae, and the great harmony groups of the ‘60s and ‘70s. Their lyrics focus on the Jewish tradition of “tikkun olam,” repairing the world.
SoulAviv Music Director, Rob Raede says, "We think you can sing about things that matter in a fun, upbeat way, so that audiences feel a connection to the music and have a great time also."
A four-person vocal group and band out of Santa Barbara, SoulAviv has received standing ovations and critical acclaim everywhere they've performed. Music critic, Danielle Berrin said they offer "...a new emerging fusion that combines traditional Jewish songs with soul and gospel." Their music makes people clap their hands, stomp their feet, and get up and dance to the soul-filled melodies! If Debbie Friedman got together with Aretha Franklin, with the Staples Singers sitting in on harmony, it would sound like SoulAviv.
Where: Congregation Ohr Tzafon

“Understanding the Relationship between Thoughts, Emotions and True Happiness in Body and Mind”
With Dharma Teacher Dawa Tarchin Phillips -
Also November 15 & December 13 -
How does your mind work and manifest thoughts, feelings and your perceptions? What is the underlying reality of your being? Every moment of every day you are involved in, and dealing with the manifestations of your body and the experiences and expressions of your mind. They make up who you are and what you identify with most intimately. As you go through life, you experience manifold different states of physical and mental challenges in the search of well-being.
During this teaching series we will explore the Buddha’s advice on how to correctly view the reality of ones body and the productions of ones mind when our aim is to reduce suffering. Teachings based on the 5 Skandhas and 51 Mental Events.
Buddhist Dharma Teacher Dawa Tarchin Phillips completed two 3-year meditation retreats as a student of the Mahamudra meditation master Gendun Rinpoche at Dhagpo Kundreul Ling Monastery in France where he received the transmission of the Karma Kagyu Lineage. Prior to focusing on meditative practices, Dawa pursued advanced studies in the arts, a career in the entertainment industry and worked with severely ill cancer and cardiac patients. Today, he teaches throughout Europe and the US, offering guidance to those on the spiritual path and is the resident teacher of Bodhi Path Center Santa Barbara.

Attend an information session about helping abused and neglected children. Men and Women over age 21 and bi-lingual volunteers needed!
CASA is a program in which trained community volunteers (CASAs) are appointed by a judge to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children in juvenile court proceedings.
There are approximately 500 abused and neglected children under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court in San Luis Obispo County. By becoming a CASA volunteer, you help ensure that these children receive needed services and a safe, permanent home. You’ll find being a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer is a gratifying experience that touches not only the life of a child but yours as well.
We urge all perspective volunteers to attend an information session at the CASA office or select Starbucks locations.
The CASA Guild, a social networking and fundraising group, is also recruiting new members.
Information Sessions at Starbucks:
Held the second Wednesday of every month at 6:30 pm.
Nov 11- Pismo Beach, 501 Five Cities Dr.
Information Sessions at the CASA office every fourth Wednesday of the month, 75 Higuera Suite 180, San Luis Obispo at noon.

The Pewter Plough Playhouse
Cambria, CA
THE MOUSETRAP by Agatha Christie, the classic whodunit, October 9 through November 15.
The Pewter Plough is presenting the legendary comedic mystery, THE MOUSETRAP, by the Grand Dame of mystery writers, Agatha Christie. One of the most renowned mysteries ever, it is about a group of eccentric strangers stranded in a British country inn, all of whom turn out to be suspects in a murder, each of whom has something to hide and all seem potentially guilty -- fertile ground for a puzzling story full of intrigue, plot twists and double-twists and fun!
THE MOUSETRAP holds the record as the longest running play in history, having become an institution in London for having played there for the past 57 years -- over 23,000 performances! The play is known for its especially surprising ending, which audiences are cautioned not to reveal -- so come to see the show but don’t tell anyone who did it!
The cast features Donn Clarius, Lori Cunningham, Jaime Lopez-Balbontin, Tyler Lopez, Tracy Mayfield, Anita Schwaber, Blake Spiller and Sharyn Young. The Director is Sandy Bosworth.
On most Saturday nights the Pewter Plough Lounge features the outstanding pianist/vocalist David Manion at the Baldwin.
Preview night is Friday, October 9, at 7:30 pm, $12.
Gala Champagne Opening is Saturday, October 10, at 7:30 pm, including a special Champagne and Dessert Buffet after the show, with pianist/vocalist David Manion performing live at the Baldwin, all tickets $25.
Performances continue on Friday and Saturday nights, at 7:30 pm, through November 15.
Newly scheduled Thursday night shows on October 29 and November 5, at 7:30 pm.
Sunday Matinees on October 18, 25 and November 15, at 3 pm.
Tickets for Saturday nights and Sunday Matinees are Regular $19, Seniors/students $16.
Special Thursday and Friday night price is $15 for everyone.

post-Polka, plays an `alt-Oktoberfest'
|
|
| |

Contact: joe woodard 805-687-3963 info@householdink.com

With the arrival of post-Polka, a new band is born (well, reborn), helping to fill the void of polka music in Santa Barbara. In 2003, the hopelessly eclectic band Headless Household released the conceptual polka album post-Polka, mixing jazz, experimentalism, rock, cumbia and other influences into the mix. After a cool (and tasty!) gig at an Oktoberfest gig at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, a resolve was made to create a spinoff band, hereby dubbed post-Polka, to deal strictly with the polka portion of the by-now fairly massive, 26-years-deep Headless Household songbook. And what better way to kick things off than with an “alt-Oktoberfest” show at the beloved Mercury Lounge in fun-loving Old Town Goleta?
At the moment, the members of post-Polka are: Julie “the polka queen” Christensen, bassist Jim Connolly, faux accordionist Dick Dunlap, drum man Tom Lackner, guitarman Joe Woodard, saxist/clarinetist Tom Buckner, violinist/vocalist Sally Barr, multi-instrumental wizard/nice guys Bill Flores and Kenny Edwards and… (?) This is not your father’s polka, unless your father likes Jimmy Sturr, Brave Combo, Stravinsky, Zappa, John Zorn, Nino Rota, and modulating waltzes.

Ron Radzinger: Hearst Lecture Series

| |
|
Hosted by Cal Poly's College of Architecture and Environmental Design (CAED), the Hearst Lecture Series will focus this year on integrated design practices.
Ron Radziner, FAIA is the principal in charge of design at Marmol Radziner and Associates. Radziner, a Cal Poly alumnus runs the office with fellow alum, Leo Marmol. Marmol Radziner is a unique office in that they celebrate the “joy of making” through a variety of avenues, whether it be architecture, construction or landscape, furniture or prefab housing. They remain committed to acting as both architect and contractor for many of their projects. Whereas most design/build firms are dominated by contractors, Marmol Radziner + Associates is rare in that they are architects first. In other words, they have become contractors in order to build their projects with the same rigor with which they were designed. Given their attention to detail and finish, Marmol Radziner Furniture is a natural extension of the office. The furniture is designed, built and sold by architects, while their shops are run by architects concerned with the smallest details and broad view allowing for furniture rooted in clarity of design and integrity of construction. Going Further, Marmol Radziner Prefab combines the efficiency of factory-built homes with the benefits of custom residential design. Their green homes are not a kit of parts – they build the prefab modules in a factory and ship them complete.

An exhibition of New Constructed Photographs titled “Shrines & Alters” by Eric Johnson
STEYNBERG Gallery 1531 Monterey Street San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 (805) 547-0278 www.steynberggallery.com : Hours: 7am –7pm everyday.
Eric B. Johnson, BA. 1971 University of Oregon; MFA, Photography, University of New Mexico, 1978, researched, printed and wrote about the photography of 20th century composer Ernest Bloch. (Aperture, 1971, "A Composer’s Vision: The Photographs of Ernest Bloch”). He taught photography at Western Washington University, 1978, and Ohio State University in Columbus, 1979. In 1980 he moved to California to join the faculty at California Polytechnic State University. In 2000-02 extensive photographic work on Ireland golf courses resulted in a collaborative book with Paul Zingg titled "An Emerald Odyssey: In Search of the Gods of Golf and Ireland,” published by Collins Press in 2008. Since 2006 Eric has been involved in new digital still life work using personal, political and cultural references.
Shrines, we know, are arrangements of symbolic objects allowing us to honor the departed and altars are platforms for rituals often associated with hopes and dreams. I use these timeless pathways to provoke a range of emotions and states of mind that I hope find some universality in their final form. Starting simply, I arrange objects and images in an increasingly complex structure, sometimes in gravity defying balance. The result is a blending of sculpture, painting, and photography. Both intoxicatingly fun and grueling, this alchemical path has opened the door to a true chamber of wonders.
Methods: Images are assembled from a selection of 15-25 drawn from over 70 or more separate digital photographs taken during each session. The images are layered and selected parts are “painted through” to a base layer - they are hybrids located between painting, sculpture and photography. sgallery@charter.net

Santa Barbara Jazz Vocalist Margie Nelson will be performing with the Mike Raynor Group at the Inn at Morro Bay, Halloween night, October 31st from 7-10pm. Nelson has been a featured performer with Raynor's group at the Sea Venture Hotel and is one of the crowd favorites. http://www.nelsonjazz.com
A Santa Barbara resident since 1992, Margie Nelson was a founding member of the popular vocal band The Swizzle Sisters, doing up fabulous three part harmonies and emulating the “girl group sound” of the 50’s and 60’s.
After a 7 year run with the group, she returned to her first love-the sultry standards and flaming torch songs of the Great American Songbook, as a duo act with Moxie and The State Street Standards.
Currently going solo, she enjoys a close working relationship with gifted keyboardist and arranger Woody DeMarco, guitarist/composer extraordinaire Stephen Geyer and local fixture and virtuoso bassist, Hank Allen.
Over the years, Margie has been seen on stages large, small and miniscule, including the Lobero Theatre, the Bacara, Santa Barbara Concerts in the Park at Chase Palm Park, The Biltmore and Coral Casino, the Santa Barbara Festival of Art and Jazz, Fiesta, The Lemon Festival, The Avocado Festival, El Capitan Canyon, Cold Spring Tavern, Tsunami, Peabody’s, and many other venues, benefits, private parties and special events.

RONNIE BAKER BROOKS -
By the time he was 18, Ronnie Baker Brooks was touring with his father, Lonnie Brooks, on second guitar and vocals. For many of these years, shows started off with Ronnie on lead guitar and vocals, while his younger brother Wayne supported him on rhythm guitar. When Lonnie was ready to come on stage, Wayne stepped down and Ronnie switched to back up. Brooks served as his father’s bandleader for over ten years before starting his solo career in 1999.
In the past ten years, Ronnie has released three CDs. His most recent release, The Torch (Watchdog Records, 2006) was nominated for three prestigious blues awards – a testament to the depth of his talent, given that he wrote all 17 of the songs and recorded it with his touring band. The song Ronnie is most proud of is “The Torch of the Blues” which features Brooks with his father and heroes Eddy Clearwater, Jimmy Johnson and the late Willie Kent.
The Torch also showcased the breadth of Ronnie’s talent, ranging stylistically from traditional Chicago blues to hip hop, funk, and rock. “In Ronnie Baker Books’ powerhouse hands blues-rock never sounded so outrageous. Soul never sounded so delicious. And blues never sounded so profound … one of today's top live performers.” Art Tipaldi, Blues Revue. There are some outstanding video clips on Brooks’ myspace page (www.myspace.com/bookrbb).
