Some wishes for the new year
With this year’s end fast approaching, our thoughts naturally turn to wishes for the new year.
First and foremost, the ongoing and unmitigated tragedy that the Iraq war has become for the Iraqi people, the Middle East, America and the rest of the world must be concluded.

James Bond: A hero for (what remains) of Bush era?
By Robert F. Moss
While Ian Fleming insisted that the James Bond thrillers were nothing more than “fairy tales for adults,” the critics have steadfastly refused to believe him. At the height of the Bond craze in the 1960s, anthropologists of popular culture used 007 as evidence of everything that was vital — or vile — about Western society, whether it was pugnacious anti-Communism, primal male fantasies, gun fetishism or runaway consumerism.

I decided to interview Frederieke Taylor following a productive studio visit I had with one her artists, Kirsten Nelson, a few weeks ago. After learning from Kirsten that she had shown with Taylor, I immediately made the connection with another great exhibition I had seen there by Lisa Sigal.

Arts & Entertainment  In the footsteps of famous loudmouthed ladiesBy Will McKinley Amber Martin is comfortable with silence. That’s probably a good thing for a performer who proudly admits to leaving her audience “with question marks over their heads.” The mind behind ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ By Rania Richardson Evil fairies, a bloodthirsty stepfather, fascist terrorists, and a secret underground empire make up the nightmarish world of 11-year-old Ofelia in “Pan’s Labyrinth.” Written and directed by Guillermo del Toro (“Cronos,” “Hellboy”), the film is a masterful blend of history and fantasy, as it tells the story of a lonely girl in Franco’s Spain who is guided by magical creatures that only she can see. |

Why you should advertise:
I highly recommend Chelsea Now to anyone thinking of placing an ad in this focused, terrific local paper. Since placing my ad with the paper I have had many positive responses resulting in new customers for my business who have returned more than once. I especially recommend Douglas Thomas who actually delivers on all of the promises he makes on behalf of the paper with real thoroughness and an easy-going, yet always professional, courtesy. Advertising with Chelsea Now has been a very pleasant (and income-producing) experience -- a rarity!
