Crazy Wisdom Salon Series:
An Evening with Psychic and Author John Friedlander on his new book, Psychic Psychology: Energy Skills for Life and Relationships 
Thursday, Sept. 29, 7 p.m. at Crazy Wisdom Tea Room  Psychic Psychology: Energy Skills for Life and Relationships
is a unique look at individual psychology and interpersonal relationships. John Friedlander and co-author Gloria Hemsher present the everyday usefulness of clairvoyant skills within a big picture where they explain that we create our reality, but do not control it; and that the personality - like the soul - is eternal and always growing. John will teach two simple, powerful exercises that underlie all advanced Psychic Psychology practices and will clairvoyantly answer a few questions from the audience. You can read the introduction to this book in this issue of the Community Journal on page 44. Free. For more information, call 665-2757; bill@crazywisdom.net, info@crazywisdom.net or crazywisdom.net. |
Live Music Weekends at Crazy Wisdom Tea Room 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. - No Cover Charge Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night Crazy Wisdom invites you to Tea and Tunes. Not a tea drinker? No problem! Crazy Wisdom offer a wide selection of coffee drinks. (while you're here, don't forget to try some of our tasty treats as well!) Thursday, September 29th - CW Salon  Friday, September 30 - Stella! - Stella!, a four-piece, all-women, American roots band from Detroit, Michigan, has been referred to as a singer-songwriter super group with three-part vocal harmonies and four songwriter voices. Learn more about them at www.thestellagirls.com. Stella! was first conceived of by singer-songwriter Jo Serrapere after a conversation with American music critic and Creem Magazine co-founder Dave Marsh. Jo was inspired to put together a new group where she could specifically showcase her country-roots songwriting. Serrapere, who credits songwriter Tom Waits, early blues artists, jazz and old-time country voices as her strongest influences, was the founding member of the old-time string band Uncle Earl. She has had two appearances on National Public Radio's "A Prairie Home Companion" and three albums with her band, Jo Serrapere and the Willie Dunns, including her recent release, "Love Going South." Jo asked songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jen Sygit to join Stella! and be another songwriting voice in the group. Jen's voice adds some deep "blues" tones to Stella! She plays acoustic and electric guitar, banjo, dobro and ukelele. Jen has three solo albums to her credit, including her new release, "So Long Pollyanna." Fiddler, songwriter, and classical violist Diana Ladio joined Stella in the beginning of 2010. Diana began touring on the front lines of the Chelsea House Orchestra in Chelsea, Michigan. She went on to co-found the Celtic Fusion duo, String Cheese, who recently performed as soloists with the Battle Creek Symphony. She brings classical, Celtic and old-time fiddle, original fiddle compositions and occasionally a fourth harmony to Stella! Stella! completes its line-up with singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Laura Ann Bates. Although university-trained in operatic voice, piano and flute, Laura has taken on the upright bass. By pursuing opera in the classroom by day, bluegrass and folk in the bars at night, and hymns and choral pieces on Sunday morning, she has developed a very diverse musical pallet.

Saturday, October 1 - Annie & Rod Capps/Shari Kane & Dave Steele
This is going to be a wonderful night of music with this double bill of highly acclaimed performers!
Annie & Rod Capps: Songs about broken things and poignant little ponderings are delivered with a rootsy vibe, a touch of twang and a soulful groove. Annie and Rod are on a musical journey that began in 1982, culminating into a symbiotic sound that reflects their deep and intuitive understanding of each other. Annie's disarming, earthy voice and solid command of her guitar are punctuated by Rod's effortless accompaniment and beautiful solo work. Together they weave unforgettable melodies that are at once intricate and sparse, musically completing each others' sentences. www.annieandrodcapps.com  | | Shari Kane & Dave Steele |
: Shari Kane (Madcat & Kane) and Dave Steele (of Big Dave and the Ultrasonics fame) are each accomplished performers in their own right. As an acoustic blues duo, Shari and Dave throw a four-handed guitar party of original and time-honored blues, gospel, swing and ragtime. Steeped in Dave's smoky vocals, percussive rhythm and innovative lead lines, Shari's crisp picking style, rootsy leads, and stinging slidework, their music has been described as "street swing and stomp blues," - like a testament to sounds once heard on the streets of Harlem, the juke joints of Mississippi, or from the jug bands of Memphis. www.sharianddaveblues.com |

In the Age of Terrorism, the United States has become a much more dangerous place-for activists and dissenters, whose First Amendment rights are all too frequently abridged by the government.
In Hell No, the Center for Constitutional Rights, the country's leading public interest law organization, offers a timely report on government attacks on dissent and protest in the United States, along with a readable and essential guide for activists, teachers, grandmothers, and anyone else who wants to oppose government policies and actions. Hell No explores the current situation of attacks upon and criminalization of dissent and protest, from the surveillance of activists to the disruption of demonstrations, from the labeling of protestors as "terrorists," to the jailing of those the government claims are giving "material support" to its perceived enemies. Offering detailed, hands-on advice on everything from "Sneak and Peak" searches to "Can the Government Monitor My Text Messages?" and what to do "If an Agent Knocks," Hell No lays out several key responses that every person should know in order to protect themselves from government surveillance and interference with their rights.
Beginning with a preface by Vincent Warren, executive director of the Center for Constitutional Rights and a frequent legal commentator on CNN, MSNBC, and NPR, Hell No also includes an introduction on the state of dissent today by CCR board chair Michael Ratner and Margaret Ratner Kunstler. Concluding with the controversial 2008 Mukasey FBI Guidelines, which currently regulate the government's domestic response to dissent, Hell No is an indispensable tool in the effort to give free speech and protest meaning in a post-9/11 world.
New Press - 9781595585400 - $17.95/with coupon only $13.83  The Power of Neurodiversity: Unleashing the Advantages of Your Differently Wired Brain (published in hardcover as Neurodiversity) by Thomas Armstrong
A new term has surfaced in the past decade to change the way we think about neurological disorders: Neurodiversity. It is just the right word at the right time to account for recent evidence from brain science, evolutionary psychology, and other fields suggesting that, amid the damage and dysfunction appearing in the brains of people with mental health labels, there are bright, shining spots of promise and possibility. This revolutionary guide offers information such as:
What research tells us about the specific strengths found in people with dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and other mental health diagnoses
Why disability labels are culturally relative-and how these conditions might have proved useful in the past
How to take advantage of assistive technologies-and what's to come in the future
Which career paths emphasize the gifts of neurodiverse adults
Why inclusive classrooms offer the best learning experience for neurodiverse children
A passionate, compassionate, and practical look at the myriad strengths of those who are "differently abled" Neurodiversity is essential reading for parents, educators, mental health professionals, and anyone intrigued by how our brains work and what secrets they hold.
