    <title>Aug  9, 2008: 2nd Annual Slow Food Cycle Tour Agassiz at Agassiz Agricultural Hall</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Abandon your fast life for one day of S L O W and join SLOW FOOD CYCLE TOURS.  Come to Agassiz (120km east of Vancouver) on Saturday, August 9th to participate in a self-guided bicycle ride following the popular Circle Farm Tour. Agassiz, right next door to the popular Harrison Hot Springs, is where you&#39;ll embark on a leisurely cycle and learn more about local food production.  Riding your bicycle, you will get to experience and taste local food products produced close to home, while getting to know and supporting your local farmers.<br />
SLOW FOOD Vancouver and the farmers of Agassiz are hosting this culinary adventure that will explore several farms.  Some farms will be open to the public for this day only.  For example, you will have a rare glimpse of a large commercial dairy farm, and visit a sustainable land-based salmon farm. Many stops will feature special events, guided tours around specialty farms, and gourmet foods prepared with crops from Agassiz producers to sample and purchase.<br />
You can enjoy a swim in Harrison Lake after your ride and then finish the day off with the soothing sounds of John Gilliat&#39;s classical and latin guitar in a free concert on the beach between 4 - 7 pm, weather permitting.<br />
There are two new farms on the tour this year, Swift Aquaculture and Cordine Farm, and harpist Mary Murphy will serenade you at The Back Porch, a small acre farm that grows 25 varieties of garlic and roasts coffee using a circa 1919 Flame Roaster.<br /><br />
For bike rental and bus transportation information visit our website and go to &quot;Planning Your Weekend&quot;.<br /><br />

    <title>Aug 12, 2008: BeijingDance - LDTX Summer Selections at Beijing Oriental Pioneer Theater</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Time: 2008/8/12-2008/8/16<br />
Venue: Beijing Oriental Pioneer Theater<br />
Price: 60/150<br />
Tel: 86-10-64177845<br />
Web: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.piao.com.cn/en_piao/ticket_2039.html">http://www.piao.com.cn/en_piao/ticket_2039.html</a><br /><br />
For other performances: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.piao.com.cn/en_piao/allticket.asp">http://www.piao.com.cn/en_piao/allticket.asp</a><br /><br />
From August 11th to 16th, BeijingDance / LDTX is back to present a week ofthrilling performances, Summer Selections, which features two differentprograms: Trailing the Sun (11th, 13th and 15th), a cutting-edgecontemporary premier, and BeijingDance / LDTX Classics (12th, 14th and16th), an evening of choreography from its internationally acclaimedrepertoire.<br /><br />
BeijingDance/ LDTX Classics is a collection of 4 different works, which demonstrateLDTX’s true scope of perspective and technique. The Cold Dagger excerpt is a climactic 10-minute version of the full-evening work set to a beautiful score by Gorecki. The Eagle, featuring 4 male dancers, is choreographed by a native of Inner-Mongolian. The mesmerizing piece investigates the mystical province of China fraught with history and tradition.<br /><br />
The final piece of BeijingDance / LDTX Classics is set to Stravinsky’s Rite of Springpremiered in 1933, signifying the dawn of a new era in music. Thismusic has inspired many western choreographers, and now, BeijingDance /LDTX’s Chinese choreographers offer their unique version, All RiverRed. The work reflects how contemporary dance has been developing in20th century in Chinaagainst all odds. All River Red shows not so much a comfortable fusionof East-meets-West, but a direct and violent confrontation betweenthose adhering to tradition and those aspiring to innovation.<br /><br />
Objective<br />
Thebirth of Beijing LDTX Modern Dance Company (LDTX) in September 2005 notonly caught international attention, but also captured the imaginationof many artists in China.LDTX (Lei Dong Tian Xia , literally, thunder moves under the sky) wasborn out of a controversial and exciting time in which China underwentrapid cultural change, LDTX is China’s first non-governmental andindependent professional dance company.<br /><br />
Founded by veteran choreographers and a new generation of dancers in China , LDTX is a platform for both contemporary relevant and innovative creations. Under the artistic direction of Willy Tsao, China’sforemost figure in Modern dance, and deputy artistic Li Hanzhong thecompany boasts an ensemble of 14 technically exquisite dancers and adiverse repertoire.<br /><br />
Since it’s creation in 2005, LDTX has traveled extensively throughout Mainland China, Hong Kong, Europe and North America.Through performance seasons, educational programs, technique classes,and outreach endeavors, LDTX attracts young aspiring dancers andartists to modern dance and serves as an important representative ofmodern Chinese thought and society.<br /><br />

    <title>Aug 13, 2008: Certified ScrumMaster - Kansas City at Hilton Kansas City Airport</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Certified ScrumMaster<br />
•  Understand Scrum  •  Use Agile Metrics and Reports •  Apply Adaptive Planning <br /><br />
Who Should Attend and Prerequisites<br />
This course is suited for people who have experience being on development teams or are faced with complex product/project development efforts. Individuals from all levels of the corporate structure who deal with rapidly changing demands and complex efforts. Managers, Testers, PM, Analysts, Developers, managers, directors, C-level functions <br /><br />
Participants should have some familiarity with Agile, either by attending the Intro to Agile Methods training course or through practical Agile experience. <br /><br />
Why?<br />
Agile project management is as radically different from traditional project management as agile processes are different from traditional methodologies. Rather than plan, instruct and direct, the agile project manager facilitates, coaches and leads. In the agile framework known as Scrum, this person is called a ScrumMaster to denote the difference and remind the person filling this role of their new responsibilities. Accepted course participants learn how to be a ScrumMaster and how to make a development team, a project, or an organization agile. The ScrumMaster is responsible for the proper execution of the Scrum framework, and manages the resulting changes within the organization. Exercises, case studies, simulations and experiences are used throughout the course to bring home the realization of how Scrum can work. We will also show how the roles of ScrumMaster, Product Owner and Team form a critical tripod for effective agile development. All participants are expected to understand Scrum basics prior to attending this course. <br /><br />
Why 3Back?<br />
It is vital that today’s agile practitioners be able to retain what they have learned and apply it to their jobs.

    <title>Jul 28, 2008: Legends Reno-Tahoe Open at Montreux Golf &amp; Country Club</title>
    <description><![CDATA[New events and activities help fill PGA tournament’s weeklong schedule<br /><br />
RENO, Nev. (June 18, 2008) – As the benchmark for professional sporting events in northern Nevada, the Legends at Sparks Marina Reno-Tahoe Open is preparing to celebrate its 10th anniversary in style. Welcoming a new tournament director, Michael Stearns, and adding new events and attractions to the weeklong tournament such as 18th Hole Après Golf entertainment, a “Taste of Reno” on Hole 17, the 16th Hole “Fiesta Loco,” the “Kidz Par-Tee Zone” and the “Get Fit Fore Charity” walk, July 28 – Aug. 3, 2008 is set to be a week for the record books. And that’s not all that’s new to northern Nevada’s only PGA TOUR event, featuring its first-ever title sponsor in RED Development’s The Legends at Sparks Marina, everything from the spectator entrance to the tournament’s food and entertainment offerings have been enhanced.<br /><br />
“This is a very pivotal time for the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open,” said Michael Stearns, Legends Reno-Tahoe Open tournament director. “With all the upgrades we have planned, and now, moving into our 10th year, we’re really well positioned to take a step up and start shooting for that unencumbered date on the PGA TOUR. We’re doing more than ever to attract and retain visitors to the tournament who aren’t necessarily golf fans, as well as to showcase the area and all that it has to offer guests when they come to visit the tournament. We already know that the players love coming here – now we just need to augment the spectator experience.”<br /><br />
New additions to the 2008 Legends Reno-Tahoe Open start on the16th hole with “Fiesta Loco,” a fiesta-themed hospitality area featuring margaritas, a taco bar and even a Mariachi Band. Move along to the 17th green to experience a “Taste of Reno,” serving appetizing offerings from local restaurants and upscale eateries, and introducing the tournament’s new signature kabob, the “Niblick,” named for wooden-shafted irons used in the early 20th century. Each evening, audiences are entertained on No. 18 with live “Après Golf” musical entertainment, and the “Kidz Par-Tee Zone” provides youngsters with a playful putting green, bounce houses, face painting and much more.<br /><br />
The Legends Reno-Tahoe Open also encourages fans to walk the course this year with two activities that provide great incentives. First, the tournament invites guests to “Get Fit for Charity” by participating in the first-ever, course-long pedometer walk. Proceeds from the sale of all “Get Fit for Charity” pedometers benefits local non-profit organizations, helping to achieve the Reno-Tahoe Open Foundation’s mission of giving back to the northern Nevada community. Second, tournament-goers can enjoy the PGA action while participating in the Vino 100 Wine Walk, returning for its third go-round along the fairways at Montrêux. Beginning each morning at 9 a.m. with mimosas on the putting green, walkers can sip samples from wineries around the world while strolling along the Sierra foothills and enjoying all that the Legends Reno-Tahoe has to offer.<br /><br />
“We really want to enhance the spectator experience this year,” said Rich Green, Legends Reno-Tahoe Open tournament manager. “By adding additional programming and activities for our guests we’re hoping to demonstrate to people that there is more than just golf at the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open. It’s something you can bring the whole family to because we offer a little something for everyone. “<br /><br />
All supplementary activities at the 2008 Legends at Sparks Marina Reno-Tahoe Open take place Thursday, July 31 – Sunday, Aug. 3. For more complete schedule information, visit www.LegendsRenoTahoeOpen.com.<br /><br />

    <description><![CDATA[A jam-packed morning of valuable networking and business tips as well as outstanding entertainment and important community information highlight this signature quarterly themed networking event. A complete buffet breakfast is included. The event is held at Los Abrigados Resort ballroom from 7:30 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. Doors open at 7 a.m. <br /><br />
A nice bonus for attendees is the opportunity to distribute flyers, business cards or other marketing material for only $15. Flyers cannot be distributed for individuals who do not attend the breakfast. Please provide at least 100 flyers or marketing material pieces.  All material must be delivered to the Chamber administrative office by the Wednesday prior to the event.  <br /><br />
Cost to attend is $20 pre-sale and $25 at the door, if any seats are available.  Seats for all shows can be purchased at the start of each new season for only $65 (a $15 savings).  Include flyer distribution for all four shows for only $105 (a $35 savings).  <br /><br />
For the comfort of our guests, a reduced number of seats will be available at each table, so be sure to reserve your seat early as these shows sell out!  Call the Sedona Chamber Business Office at 928-204-1123 or come by 45 Sunset Drive to reserve your spot.  Prepayment is required. <br /><br />
Join us and get an early start on your day with business networking, information and fun!<br />

    <title>Aug 16, 2008: Celebrate Mama! East County at Deer Valley High School</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Celebrating Sensational Mamas ~ FREE Family Event<br /><br />
It&#39;s time to Celebrate Mama! That&#39;s right-planning for East County&#39;s 1st annual celebration of mamas has begun. <br /><br />
We Celebrate Mama! each year with an event designed to bring everything for and about mamas in East County to one place. Our goal is to bring together products, services and information for mamas in one grand event, scheduled for Saturday, August 16, 2008 from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm located at Deer Valley High School in Antioch. <br /><br />
Celebrate Mama! events are indeed a celebration of the mama in everyone&#39;s life! We gear the event towards &quot;mamas of all ages and stages&quot; and do our best to keep it centered on the matriarch. <br /><br />
Celebrate Mama! wants to reach out to the mamas who can&#39;t make it to our event. We will be collecting new and gently used infant clothing and women/children&#39;s undergarments to donate to the Family Stress Center.<br /><br />
Please plan to join us for the 2008 Celebrate Mama! East County Expo. Last year contributors nationwide included:<br /><br />
Florists          Parenting Centers    Sling Companies<br />
Lactaion Centers  Photography Studios  Face Painters<br />
Pampering Services  Hand Made Jewelry  Kids Museums<br />
Children&#39;s Resale Shops  Cookie Lee    Usborne Books<br />
Arbonne International    Aveda Spa     Confectioners<br /><br />
AND MORE...<br /><br />
We are opening up the event to new contributors, presenters and sponsors. Please contact Kristi Ortiz at <a rel="nofollow" href="mailto:kristi.ortiz@live.com">kristi.ortiz@live.com</a> or call 925.595.0272 for more information.<br />

    <title>Oct 11, 2008: 2008 Clovis British Car Roundup at Old Town Clovis</title>
    <description><![CDATA[All British car owners are invited and encouraged to enter the 6th annual &quot;Clovis British Car Roundup&quot; celebrating the fast growing British Car hobby in the Central San Joaquin Valley of California. This will be the only, British Car only, display of British Cars in the Central Valley between Los Angeles and Sacramento and it only happens once a year on every second weekend in October. October weather is always superb in historic and beautiful &#39;Old Town&#39; Clovis, California! Free to all spectators! $25 per British Car entry.<br /><br />
This is a FUN event with very nice Entrant&#39;s Choice Awards.<br />
This is not a &quot;trailer queen&quot; competition so all British cars in any condition are welcome. We do have lots of trophies based on entrants only voting. We also have a  contest of who will have the best OIL SPOT on paper under their car! Points are also given for style!<br />
Saturday morning, October 11 th, we will lead a tour in the Sierra Foothills returning to Old Town in time for lunch at a special place.<br />
The Fall &quot;Clovis Antique &amp; Collectables Fair&quot; will also run for six blocks  just north of our event. Stroll through the many Antique shops, dine at the downtown restaurants or street food vendors. <br /><br />
For info call 559-298-7144<br />
