Invitation to Participate in "Seeing Through Our Eyes" Experiencing an epiphany . . . By Paul F. Miller
Some time has passed since you last heard from me and for some this may have been a most welcomed reprieve. I want to take a few moments to first express to each of you my sincere thanks for gifting me with your feedback in all of its various shades and tones. Secondly, I want to note to anyone receiving any information from me that at any time you choose to stop receiving, just send me an email and I will honor your request. One note of caution, some who have in the past asked to be removed did so with an email address which I do not have or to which I am currently sending. So please be accountable for checking out that I have the email address you want deleted.

Future Studios Live Performance Venue & Cinema Conflict: The False and the True By Paul F. Miller “My friend, you and I shall remain strangers unto life, And unto one another, and each unto himself, Until the day when you shall speak and I shall listen Deeming your voice my own voice; And when I shall stand before you Thinking myself standing before a mirror” - Kahlil Gibran Claudelle Johnson Financial Advisor Wachovia Securities, LLC. Choosing a Financial Advisor in Uncertain Times In a bull market, most investors love their
advisors. For the most part, investments are going up, and all is hunky-dory
with the world. Investment performance is taken for granted and takes a back
seat to intangibles--things like "personality" or
"service." Sedona Police Make Reports Available Online On August 1, 2008, the Sedona Police Department will begin
using a new online process for citizens to obtain copies of non-criminal
reports, including accidents. This
new process will reduce time and inconvenience for those involved in traffic
accidents by making accident reports conveniently accessible, and will allow
easy access to other non-criminal reports. The process was approved by City Council on June 24, 2008. By Paul F Miller The above the fold headline line in the Thursday – 7-17-08 –

Weekly update for ADOT’s construction project on US 89, south of Page, Ariz., for the week of July 28, 2008. ADOT is repaving seven miles of US 89 from the US 89A junction at Bitter Springs, heading north toward Page and Lake Powell. This is an update for the Bitter Springs Project which affects anyone going to or coming from Page or Lake Powell. There will be delays on this job.

Chirgilchin, Master Tuvan Throat Singers
Adults = $17adv / $20dos; Ages 4 to 11 = $16adv / $16dos; Ages 3 & Under = FREE
Atmospheric and mesmeric, 'throat singing' is almost too difficult to describe in words. It must be heard to be believed the music, produced by resonating low sounds in the throat, creates a middle note and a haunting, flute-like harmonic. Chirgilchin is a group of musicians from Tuva, a small Russian province north of Western Mongolia. Singing the ancient folk songs in the Tuvan language while playing beautiful, hand made, traditional instruments.
