World Poetry Café Radio Show Proudly Presents: author Simone Brenneman on March 2nd , Tuesday night at 9 –m PST, CFRO 102.7 FM, satellite: Star Choice 845 or on the internet: www.coopradio.org
Hosts Ariadne Sawyer and Alejandro Mujica-Olea.
A TRUE LIFE TALE OF AUSTISM AND COURAGE
--How One Advocate Is Peeling Away the Layers and Unraveling the Complexities and the Intricacies of this Fascinating and Intriguing ‘Disorder’
The music group, Moody Blues best puts Simone Brenneman’s feelings to words regarding her years of study, love and understanding of the illness labeled ‘autism’ in one of their songs “Won’t You Meet Me Halfway?” This has become Brenneman’s “autism anthem,” as it articulates the foundation of her belief in how she approaches anyone with autism.
The mother of two children with autism and author of the new book Effervescence: A True-Life Tale of Autism and of Courage, Brenneman become deeply disturbed over the past couple of years, where the focus seemed to be that of “curing” individuals with autism, as she believes that should not necessarily be the goal. Through her extensive work with autistic children, she is revealing that greater acceptance of individuals with autism will enhance their lives; lessen many of the symptoms because they will feel more at peace with themselves and the world around them. People with autism experience life differently than those of us without autism and there is much to be learned from them. They have a place in this world. It is an extremely challenging disorder, but also an extraordinarily fascinating one.
In an inspirational, educational and motivational interview, Brenneman will discuss:
• Why she thinks that using the term ‘autism’ as a label can be toxic
• Some of the utterly fascinating ways that an autistic mind and body can work
• Tips for establishing a positive home environment for a family with autistic children
• How to appreciate this illness and learn how to live with it not simply try to ‘cure it’

Psychologist, Director of ABLE a Developmental Clinic in British Columbia, Canada and close working associate, Dr. Glen Davies states, “Brenneman uses her gifts of sensitivity and creativity to enter deeply into the unique worlds of her autistic children and others, to truly understand them and to see the world through their lives.”
Simone Brenneman is a mother of two daughters and two sons. As described in Effervescence, one daughter is challenged and deeply gifted, in part, by autism.
One son is challenged by autism, ADHD, Cri du Chat Syndrome, a mental disability and a number of other developmental issues, and is in his own way, gifted. In the past, Ms. Brenneman has worked as a special education assistant and currently works as a behavioral interventionist for several beautiful children challenged by autism. She also has a long history of designing unique and child-specific strategies and programs for her own children.
Effervescence…A True-Life Tale of Autism and of Courage can be purchased from www.amazon.com, www.barnesandnoble.com and through all major bookstores.

"In this video you will meet ‘Techartist’ Kris Krug and ‘Social Media Guru’ Dave Olson.  I first met Kris and Dave on Feb. 3rd 2009. There was a shout out on Twitter about a meetup at a Gastown tech company for those who were interested in exploring social media’s inclusion in the 2010 Winter Olympics. There was quite a buzz in the air that night as folks were excited about the idea of creating a non accredited media center.  That buzz has continued through the year and is reaching its peak  as Citizen Journalist from around the world gather in Vancouver."

Synopsis: London 1818: a secret love affair begins between 23 year old English poet, John Keats and the girl next door Fanny Browne, an out-spoken student of high fashion. This unlikely pair began at odds, he thinking her a stylish minx, while she was unimpressed not only by his poetry but also by his literature in general. However, when Fanny heard that Keats was nursing his seriously ill younger brother her efforts to help touched Keats and when she asked him to teach her about poetry he agreed. The poetry soon became a romantic remedy that worked not only to sort their differences but also to fuel an impressioned love affair.

Vancouver Metis Artist Mark MiLan has been shut out to Olympic opportunities as he stands alongside his 2600 member Vancouver Metis Community Association, whom are not one of MNBC chartered community.

Since refusing to revoke his Vancouver Metis Community Association (VMCA) membership to gain membership with Olympic MOU Partner Metis Nation British COlumbia, Vancouver Metis Artist/Designer Mark MiLan of MiLan Art Ltd. has been shut out. Mark MiLan has worked over five years preparing for this great event having developed a Metis cultural project unique in Canada. Creating uniquely Metis artworks and accessories which celebrate Aboriginal Metis culture in a Vancouver marketplace void of such items surely would have made many Canadian Metis proud having been on such an international stage, but is appears that it is politics as usual for the MNBC leadership. With little more than only five months till the Games begin, Vancouver has yet to hear any announcement of any its local Aboriginal Metis artists/businesses that will be part of the Olympic program. In fact, most Canadian Metis communities whom are not affiliated with the MNBC and as well as the Metis National Council will not be a part of the Games, as they have no representation from any governmental agency for these Olympics. Unpresidented Aboriginal participation for the 2010 Olympics for Canadian Metis is solely reserved for OLympic MOU partner MNBC family.

Mark MiLan is now appealing to the greater Canadian Metis audience to offer its support in supporting his project outside the Olympic fence, so the World can see to experience true grassroots Metis art and accessories. More information about this Metis cultural project can be viewed at the MiLan Art Ltd. web page. Show your support/pride of being Metis and please get involved to ensure these Games are not held for ransom by political groups.

60,000 people self-identify in BC as Metis in census 2007, and only 4,000 are registered MNBC members. So, take your place and have a voice about how the Metis are involved for the 2010 Olympics. Write your government officials and demand to know why after more than five years since the announcement of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics is there no meaningfull Metis participation.

Some people seem to walk through life charmed, with a lucky turn waiting around every corner. Most of us, however, tend to find our luck in little ways throughout the days by capturing the moments that mean the most to us and keeping those memories close at heart.

I feel extremely lucky each and every day… lucky to be able to count my blessings… lucky to be able to care for my family and friends… and lucky to be able to truly do my best for those around me. How fortunate we are to have new chances, new challenges and new discoveries waiting for us. No need for lucky charms or four-leaf clovers, not when we have the opportunity to continuously learn, grow, give back and contribute to this wonderful world we live in.

I am blessed to work in an industry that allows me to do just that. As a REALTOR®, I have the opportunity to serve my community by sharing my real estate knowledge and experience with people who are very important in my life: my customers. I will always be here for you, with undeniable passion and unwavering commitment. The way I see it, the best part is the fun I have making good friends and lasting memories along the way! How lucky is that?

Despite rhetoric to the contrary it appears that yesterday's BC Liberal budget is designed to increase greenhouse gas emissions in this province.

The largest sources of greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions in our province are from transportation and the fossil fuel extraction industries. So, the government chose to specifically increase activities in these areas.

There were cuts in health care, education and other social services. But no cuts in the province's controversial highway expansion projects. Even though the province's own documents admit that these projects will increase ghg emissions.

And the province kept in place the massive subsidies to the fossil fuel extraction industries. Costing the tax payers millions while increasing pollution.

But the government was not content to rely on these measures alone to increase ghg emissions. It cutback and cancelled many programs designed to reduce emissions.

The PST exemption on bikes, renewable energy systems and energy efficiency products is gone with the new HST. It also cancelled the LiveSmart program which also helped fund renewable energy and energy efficiency projects.

And funding for public transit is up in the air. The government has made promises about funding for transit. But Translink, the agency responsible for delivering the services has said it does not have enough money for the evergreen line, the third seabus or additional much needed bus capacity. Again there seems to plenty of money for highway expansion but not for transit even though transit investment creates three times as many jobs.

Russian-born jazz sensation Olga Osipova is bringing her beautiful slow silken jazz and sultry velvet voice to the Cellar Jazz Club, 3511 W. Broadway, on Thursday August 13th. Joining Olga – piano/vocals are musicians Bryn Flock on guitar and Bernie Addington on bass. Doors open at 8:00pm, performance at 8:30pm, tickets are $17 at the door.

After the launch of her all-original debut CD “Velvet & Lace” things started happening fast for Olga. Only a couple months after the Canadian release, the CD has already topped the smooth jazz charts in her native Russia, was added to rotation on many radio stations in Canada and across the world (USA, Australia, Brazil, New Zealand, France, Portugal, Italy, Netherlands, Poland etc.) Olga’s music is receiving rave reviews from the press including the prestigious JazzTimes Magazine; she won the Jazz Artist of the Year at the BC Interior Music Awards in 2008, and most recently, Olga was announced Finalist in the 8th Annual Independent Music Awards. She is currently available for interviews and public appearances upon request.

Olga’s story is quite unique; after living in two different countries and going through two immigrations, she chose Canada as her home and music as her career.

Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, Olga grew up in a musical family. Her uncle, a famous concert pianist, recognized her talent from an early age and made sure that Olga received classical piano lessons from the best instructors in the country. At fourteen, she was already an accomplished pianist, winning awards and performing complex arrangements well beyond her years.

As she became more fascinated with the art of composition, she began writing instrumental pieces, later adding lyrics to her compositions, as her skill improved.

A passionate student, Olga felt like she needed to expand her writing beyond her first language and completed a Masters degree in Linguistics. Now fluent in Russian, German and English, she moved to Germany and continued her performance career and musical training at Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg.

It was in Germany that Olga joined a popular jazz a-cappella group Point 7. She toured Germany and Switzerland with Point 7, performing for crowds of 500+ people. At that time, Olga began to write in German; soon her original song "Wieder und Wieder" ("Again and Again") was receiving local radio play, with Olga's voice and musical style being compared to the late, smoky Marlene Dietrich.

From Germany Olga moved to Canada where she released her debut CD in July 2008. She performs regularly for her fans and music lovers world-wide and continues to enchant audiences from British Columbia to Russia, and many points in between.

“Absolutely stunning album...This is a warm melodic and haunting sound that mesmerizes the listener. The album is moody and engaging subduing the listener into its spell binding style... A breath of fresh air albeit a sexy sounding breath of fresh air... More than Smooth Jazz and more than just a Jazz album, this is in a class of its own...” – Peter Meritt, Music Manager, PBS 106-7 FM Melbourne Australia

"...Much as Madeleine Peyroux naturally evokes a hazy, retro vibe haunted by the ghost of Billie Holiday, Osipova spontaneously suggests the luxuriant smolder of Marlene Dietrich. But Osipova does the iconic screen siren one better. Again rivaling Peyroux, she proves herself an excellent songsmith, crafting a dozen consistently fine tunes that extend from the coy playfulness of “Don’t Forget About Love” and arch lustfulness of “Come and See Me Alone” to the bruised longing of “Unavailable,” murky wistfulness of “St. Petersburg” and gentle, romantic swirl of “Wieder und Wieder” ...Perhaps a porcelain-skinned newcomer who evokes images of dimly lit Berlin cabarets from a long-faded era may not have the makings of wide appeal. Then again, it hasn’t exactly kept Ute Lemper in obscurity." http://jazztimes.com/articles/24640-velvet-lace-olga-osipova - Thomas Conrad, JazzTimes Magazine, May 2009

“If you like smooth jazz with smoky, romantic lyrics- this is a delicate treat you can’t ignore.” - John Kereiff, BC Musician Magazine

Jazz guitarist Bryn Flock hails from Vernon, B.C., and is a recipient of the 2008 Vancouver Coastal Jazz and Blues Society Scholarship.

A bassist since the age of 13, Bernie Addington has been a respected player in the Vancouver music scene for a long time, working with top local and international artists, and touring North America. A resident of the Okanagan, Bernie is one the B.C. interior’s most sought after musicians.

I received a letter yesterday indicating that I have received a parking violation ticket back in May 2009 while I've parked in a reserved lot. However, I have not received any ticket on that specific day by a DP patrol. So I phoned them this morning to dispute the ticket and I had to go through their complicated voice messaging system for 5 min to figure out which option to choose from, finally I went through their company directory as there was no clear option to choose and talk to a person. Anyway, after I spoke with the agent she claimed that I received a ticket on May 27 and I walked away to another store where does not belong to their parking lot so the patrol person issued me a ticket. When I asked for a copy of the ticket she claimed they do not have any copy just details. I insist on not receiving any ticket so she offered me just pay the ticket original amount in 15 days not the penalties. This is a same case that happened to friend of mine a month ago. So I figured it out they are trying to charge people as much as they can. I really do not know what to do and do not want to pay this unfair charge as I was neither parked there nor received any ticket. Pls advice what to do with these kind of scams. BTW, I live in Lonsdal NV area and I received twice parking ticket from City of North Van with actual ticket and I paid them on time with no penalties. So if there was a ticket I would not missed it and knew about for sure.

From the side of a mountain on the West Coast of British Columbia, a new voice resonates off the waters of Howe Sound – it’s that of KAREN FOWLIE. Karen’s debut CD, PUSHING THE EDGE is an exciting alt. country/rock collection of upbeat songs which delve into the deepest recesses of human emotion. One of the most poignant tracks, “TELL ME,” examines CHILDHOOD BULLYING and its effect on conflict in adulthood. To back this song, an independently-produced music video is scheduled for release July 6, 2009. “Tell Me” garnered Karen AN ACCOLADE FROM THE BRITISH COLUMBIA ATTORNEY GENERAL and obtained national exposure in 7-11 and Wal-Mart stores as Hevy D Popcorn included “Tell Me” as a free download in their product. Karen hopes that calling attention to this painful and timely issue with the universal language of song, will help to foster an ongoing dialogue among parents, schools, children, educators and politicians the world over. She is currently available for interviews and public appearances upon request and is performing live at the MERRITT MOUNTAIN MUSIC FESTIVAL on July 9th and 11th.

Originally from Alberta, Karen is a veteran performer who has captivated audiences at festivals and venues across the country since 1997.

The album has had notable success as sales from this Independent release have surpassed 825 physical units and iTunes sales statistics are increasing. In addition, music from the CD has been added to two compilation CDs (Music BC’s “Make A Case Against Racism”) and the 2008 Vancouver Artist’s Collective Association (VACA) compilation.

You first determine the city you are interested in, your budget and the type of home you are looking for. You then select the number of bedrooms and bathrooms to search. Once you enter your criteria and press the search button, you will get a list of homes currently listed for sales on the market.

For neighborhood information, and recent activities in a neighborhood your are interested, you will need to contact a local Realtor for guidance. Not all realtors are buyer specialists. Some top producers are concentrating on listing homes for sale only, and they may not be the ones to help you looking for a home to buy.

Working with a Buyer Agent

When you are looking for a home to buy, you are better of working with a buyer specialist who is your Buying Agent. A Buyer Agent is committed and dedicated to work with their home buyers. As a serious home buyer, you get the personalized service from your Buyer Agent. You'll get daily listing up-dates and prompt advice on any new listings meeting your requirements.

You should always talk to 2 or 3 local Realtors who are buyer specialists, and choose one you feel comfortable working with. Using a Buyer Agent will likely result in you finding the home you like.

Executive Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu For Over 40
Presented by Raz Chan Ftiness & Mobile Personal Training

Raz Chan Fitness is pleased to announce their new program, Executive Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) For Over 40. Many people consider BJJ to be a rough sport, catering primarily to young males. However, in the right environment, people 40 years and older can practice this cerebral martial art in their later years as a great form of exercise. Participants can expect a good cardio/conditioning workout, while also learning some of the technical aspects of BJJ. Class time is split between instructional guidance, with plenty of time left for rolling/sparring to apply what you’ve learned. Open to women and men.

CLASS LOCATION
All classes are held at 4588 Clancy Loranger Way, Vancouver (next to Nat Bailey Stadium).

CLASS TIMES
Wednesdays, 8 pm – 9:30 pm
Fridays, 7pm – 8:30 pm

COST
$126/month, taxes included

REGISTRATION
We will be opening registration for our July 15 session soon.
To pre-register for the July session, please email raz@razchanfitness.com and request a registration form.
For more information about the program, visit http://www.razchanfitness.com/services/bjj or call 604-839-2838.

Perhaps its relative geographic obscurity on the far west side of the city, the unassuming and some would say uninviting exterior facade or just the power of rumors, but it seems to me that Café D’Lite has a unique impression in the minds of many Vancouver diners in that although popular, reports of its demise seem always front and center. Call it the Mark Twain of the city’s restaurant scene.

Heal your body and free your mind
With original ancient Tibetan singing bowl sound therapy

In ancient Tibet, sick people were treated with the sound of the singing bowls. The miraculous sound coming from bowls made of seven metals and the special music composed for the therapy were guarded secrets there until recent times. This knowhow reached Nepal in 1959 when the Tibetans left their country. Today, there are only few artists in Kathmandu pursuing this practice. Megha Ratna Shakya has just recently come to settle in Vancouver and he brought along with him this ancient knowledge in its original form.

Human body is made of innumerable cells. Each cell carries electrical energy. Each cell vibrates creating certain sound frequency. When a person is sick, there is imbalance in the sound frequency of the cells in the body and mind. The singing bowl balances the sound frequency rejuvenating the sick person’s body and mind. If you are suffering from stresses, pains and other difficulties, physical and mental, try out this sacred sound therapy used by sages and monks in monasteries. Megha provides this service with Reiki energy which also happened to have originated in Tibet.

Megha is also a trainer of non judgemental communication, commonly known as Nonviolent Communication (NVC) through public workshops to people from all walks of life. NVC helps people to live life more peacefully. NVC was developed decades ago by American clinical psychologist Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, has grown into a global campaign. Megha combines NVC with meditation technique to calm our mind and eliminate thoughts so that we can speak our feelings rather than thoughts. The results of this method of communication are instant and phenomenal in resolving everyday conflicts.

For appointment, call Experience Nirvana 778-279-1004 or email at megha.shakya@gmail.com

Meet JAX: singer, songwriter, screenwriter, actress, activist, producer, director, 21st century renaissance woman. Jax is currently fine tuning her debut EP, ELEVATOR GOODBYES, which is scheduled for release this summer. Tracks from Elevator Goodbyes can now be sampled at MySpace and Reverb Nation:

http://www.myspace.com/musicbyjax

http://www.reverbnation.com/musicbyjax

Jax just wrapped shooting the short film Glow, which she co-wrote with the film's director, Nicolas Kadima. She has guest-starred on the hit sci-fi television series Eureka and appeared alongside the comic genius of actor Eugene Levy in two American Pie films.

The television role of Joan of Arx on Canada’s Space Channel made her a fan favorite of Canadian sci-fi fans from coast-to-coast. She has performed for the stage with the Soulpepper Theater Company, Motley Theater Company, Festival of Original Theater, Not 2B Confused, Players Academy and Artists Play Showcase.

Jax is also a professional dancer, having studied with the Toronto Dance Theater, American Ballet Theater and Kirov Academy of Ballet. Her love for dance and choreography was highlighted in a 2006 Oakville Beaver article, Dancin’ To Her Own Tune.

Jax's passion and commitment to causes such as Earth Hour inspired her to organize and host her own 2008 Earth Hour event in Vancouver, the only event of its kind held in the city that day. The event had over 150 attendees and was broadcast live around the world via the internet.

Jax also wrote, produced, directed and starred in an Earth Hour PSA/Music Video Flicking The Lights Off, which made its debut on the popular Vancouver talk show Urban Rush. The video was screened at the 2008 Projecting Change Vancouver Green Film Festival, Vancouver’s Celluloid Social Club and Vancouver’s Car Free Community Fest, has received thousands of hits on You Tube and has been posted on Green sites and blogs all over the net.

As a result of her efforts, World Wildlife Fund Vancouver invited Jax to participate as a celebrity guest at their 2009 Earth Hour event. Jax has pledged to continue her efforts to raise awareness about the need for less energy consumption in the future.

Jax is represented by Lisa King of King Talent in Vancouver and Toronto and Superior Talent in Los Angeles. Her PR is handled by NoodleHead Productions.
