Animals in church I am concerned about the “WILD” series of sermons that Flamingo Road Church in Cooper City, Fla., is presenting. I was shocked to see that, with a full congregation in attendance, an adult, 500-pound caged male lion was wheeled onto the pulpit. This lion was pacing back and forth during the entire service, which caused the cage to move and rock. There was no barricade of any kind around the cage, only a man seated on a chair beside the caged animal. A video clip can be seen at http:// vimeo.com/14911169. It is very disturbing that this type of display is being allowed in a church setting. As I understand it, the next planned event will be using pythons as symbolic of original sin. Were city and county officials and wildlife officers advised in advance about this series of sermons featuring caged wild animals? If it’s not a violation of zoning or animal welfare regulations, shouldn’t it be? With the recent Jungle Island tiger escape, we’ve seen how quickly things can go wrong — dangerously wrong! Though much scripture was quoted during this sermon, referring to this lion as the devil himself, I would like those charged with protecting wildlife to also consider Proverbs 12:10, “Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.” Please put an end to the use of exot-

ic animals as stage props. It presents an unnecessary danger to the public and is a cruel life for animals who do not deserve this type of life in captivity. The king of beasts has been relegated to nothing more than an animal transport-

The Highroad

f you google Google, you might learn that this Internet powerhouse once proudly promised to do no evil. In CorporateWorld, however, ethics are often discarded like an old suit that no longer fits. Thus, this $24 billion-a-year, do-no-evil corporation is now a voracious tax dodger. A Bloomburg News reporter reveals that Google transfers a big chunk of its annual profits to a subsidiary in Ireland. Then, prior to tax time, Google funnels these profits into a shell corporation in the Netherlands, from which they are bounced into yet another shell corporation in Bermuda. It’s not natural beauty that draws Google to the islands, but the fact that Bermuda assesses no taxes on corporate profits. Bottom line: Google escapes paying a billion dollars a year that it ethically owes in U.S. taxes.

Corporate flimflammers suckering Congress, again by Jim Hightower Meanwhile, such computer powers as Cisco and Oracle are lobbying furiously to reprise a tax flimflam that multinational corporations pulled on us during the Bush regime. They were allowed to pay a mere 5 percent tax rate on profits they had stashed abroad — in exchange for pledging to invest this money in American factories and jobs. They got their tax break, then reneged on their job-creation promise, with

dried up in that area. Therefore, he has turned to photo ops and traveling exhibits with wild animals. He was quoted in an AP story saying, “If you do see LETTERS Page 6

many corporations actually grabbing the giveaway while firing employees. Now, they’re demanding another tax holiday in return for bringing home a trillion dollars in profits they’ve squirreled away in foreign tax havens. Amazingly, like rubes at a medicine show, Republicans in Congress are swallowing this same old snake oil, pushing legislation to let superrich corporations do it to us again. Before GOP leaders give in, they should recall the words of George W., the guy who enabled the first scam: “Fool me once, shame on — shame on you,” he said. “Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.” November 18, 2010 5

get bit, a lot of times that just means more business, because they’re going to come back to see if it’s going to happen again.” This is not a person who should be responsible for the safety of an entire church congregation potentially trapped in a room with a carnivore. During the service, congregants were told the lion was there in order to “leverage animals to teach God’s lessons.” This lion was likened to the devil, saying, “He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.” Standing in front of the caged lion, the pastor admitted, “I’m shaking.” He said, “How do you not run? He’s so big, his teeth are so large, he’s so strong.” He held up a gun, smiled and said, “I know you’ve been uneasy this whole service.” As the congregants should be! Even though Florida accounts for only 6 percent of the national population, it accounts for 12 percent of the 602 reported incidents of killings, maulings and escapes since 1990. Other states, which have passed bans on breeding dangerous exotics, have seen these numbers drop dramatically, some to zero. There are not enough inspectors to guarantee that even minimal standards of care are being met or that the public is properly safeguarded. It is time for the USDA and FWC to step up and ensure public safety and animal welfare by banning breeding of big cats — period! Cate Lamm/Longmont Help with heating bills Beginning this time of year, as many as one in five Colorado households struggle to keep up with home energy bills. Too many seniors on fixed incomes and families with children must seriously weigh such dismal choices as keeping the heat on or doing without food or medical care. Fortunately, help is available to keep these people safe and in their homes. The Colorado Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP), a federally funded program administered through the Colorado Department of Human Services, provides energy bill payment assistance to income qualifying households. LEAP also offers a Crisis Intervention Program to help eligible households needing a repair or replacement of their home heating system. Another valuable resource is Energy Outreach Colorado, a private, nonprofit organization that raises funds for energy assistance through individual and corporate donors. This year, Energy Outreach is distributing $6.7 million in energy assistance grants to 131 community assistance organizations across the state, including Seniors Resources 6 November 18, 2010

Center, Salvation Army and Home Front Cares. Energy Outreach was established in 1989 to supplement LEAP funding and provide warmth and security to those who may not qualify for LEAP or need additional assistance. Since then it has distributed nearly $123 million to fund energy bill payment assistance and energy efficiency upgrades for affordable housing in Colorado. I strongly encourage anyone struggling to pay home energy bills to apply for help today by calling toll-free 1-866-HEAT-HELP or by going to www.EnergyOutreach.org/locator.asp. Concerned citizens interested in helping those who can’t afford home energy can make a donation through those sites or by calling Energy Outreach at 303825-8750. Skip Arnold, executive director, Energy Outreach Colorado/via Internet Peace in the Middle East I write to strongly urge continuing, unalloyed support by the United States for Israel, our most reliable ally in the Mideast, in the aftermath of the midterm elections. Recent, abortive terror plots in our own country forcefully remind us that Iran, which operates through various proxies, notably Hezbollah, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, remains the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism. Yemen’s Anwar al-Awlaki is still but a small player in comparison. Tehran continues work to develop a nuclear-weapons arsenal and constantly reiterates its intention to eradicate Israel from the face of the earth. Not alone, but very prominent, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps trains Muslim cadres in many nations and covertly supplies them with weapons to advance Islamist interests — including the murder of Americans. The United States should press all of its allies to enact a new round of sanctions aimed at isolating the Iranian Central Bank, which finances and facilitates that state’s nuclear ambitions. All options, including military strikes, must remain on the table should sanctions fail. In order for peace to be achieved for Irsael, Palestinians in Gaza — aided by Iran — must stop shooting rockets at Israel. The Palestinian Authority must live up to the agreements it has already signed and sincerely recognize Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish nation. Jobs and freedom, not jihad, need to be the focus of all Muslim groups now currently hostile towards Israel. William Eigles/Denver

Who killed Proposition 19?

by Paul Danish

olls taken in California last year and earlier this year found a majority of the state’s voters favored the legalization of marijuana. But that wasn’t the way things worked out on Election Day. Proposition 19 lost with 54 percent voting “no” and 46 percent voting “yes.” California is still counting votes, but as of late last week the vote totals were 4,156,418 in favor of legalization and 4,864,612 against. So why did it lose? Well, for some of the same reasons that turn up whenever any controversial proposal is on the ballot, for starters. First, when it comes to ballot proposals generally, the tendency is to vote no. When voters are uncertain about what a ballot measure will do — and they often are — they usually conclude that the safest course of action is to maintain the status quo by voting no. Second, voters rarely decide how they are going to vote on initiatives on the weight of the evidence. A single weak argument against an initiative can trump several strong arguments in favor of it. Third, as a result of the foregoing, ballot initiatives that have organized opposition — and Prop 19 did — are

almost always at risk of losing. And if their supporters do not answer the opponents swiftly and aggressively, well, they almost always do lose. Beyond that, who voted “no” and why did they do so? And for that matter who were the people who voted “yes”? Exit polls taken in California on Election Day certainly contain that data, but so far I haven’t been able to find a complete demographic breakdown on the Web. (The exception is how Californians voted on Prop 19 by age.) However, a national poll on marijuana legalization done by the Gallup organization in early October may shed some light on the question. Gallup found that nationally 46 percent of those polled favored legalizing marijuana, while 50 percent wanted to keep it illegal. Four percent were undecided. If you treat the undecideds as “no” votes, Gallup’s result exactly matches the actual vote on Prop 19. Gallup did break down its results by major demographic groups. And in the one case where exit poll demographic data was available — the vote on Prop 19 by age group — Gallup’s results and the actual vote very closely see MARIJUANA Page 8

LETTERS from Page 6

President Barack Obama’s bid to renew Israeli-Palestinian peace talks is being challenged by the actions and inactions of Israel, the Palestinians and key Arab states. It is time for our president to demonstrate leadership again and follow through on his promise to hold all parties accountable for their actions. In the past week, Israel moved ahead on multiple large-scale settlement construction schemes, including a provocative plan to dramatically expand one East Jerusalem settlement. Settlement expansion stands in the way of peace and jeopardizes Israel’s viability as a Jewish and democratic state. Moreover, settlement construction is the most glaring challenge to President Obama’s peace efforts. American credibility is at stake. If President Obama fails to address the latest provocations in East Jerusalem, it will become increasingly difficult for America to get Israel, the Palestinians or Arab states to take any steps toward peace. President Obama needs to face these challenges assertively. He must press Israel to stop construction in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. And he must push all sides into a meaningful negotiations process. Make no mistake: standing up for peace is the best way to help Israel. Peace is vital for Israel’s future and for American national security interests. Evelyn Hutt/Denver Pancreatic cancer awareness November is National Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. While pancreatic cancer is the fourth-leading cause of cancer death in the United States, it receives very little public attention. And what’s worse is federal

funding for pancreatic cancer research lags far behind other leading causes of cancer death, stalling scientific advances for early detection methods and effective treatment options. Pancreatic cancer is the only one of the top 10 cancer killers with a five-year survival rate still in the single digits — and the survival rate hasn’t significantly changed in nearly 40 years. We must work together to change this statistic and save lives, and it starts with increasing the visibility of pancreatic cancer. Sadly, most families don’t even know what pancreatic cancer is until it affects them. Sadly, this was the case for my family on two separate occasions. Six years ago my father-in-law was taken by this deadly cancer, and in 2008, so was my mother. The symptoms are so easily overlooked and easily dismissed as fatigue, flu/cold-like and, as in my mother’s case, mild heart condition. It is imperative that people understand how deadly this cancer is and how important early detection is to survival. The profile of this particular type of cancer can no longer be overshadowed by other cancers. I invite you to join me in spreading the word about pancreatic cancer this November.

Keep it clean: Water needs our help by Charmaine Ortega Getz

bout 70 percent of Mothership Earth is covered in water, most of which is so saline it is useless for drinking, showering, agriculture and the like. The remaining 30 percent is in constant danger of going from pure to polluted in a heartbeat. The danger doesn’t always come from a big oil infusion, as recently happened in the Gulf, or toxins washing into our streams and rivers from factories. Nope, it comes from the stuff routinely put down our storm drains — anything from discarded antifreeze and restaurant grease to cleaning products, fertilizers and pet poop. Boulder County is one of Colorado’s regions that restrict what goes down storm drains because there is no treatment process that keeps outdoor waste from swirling into our waterways. “In the city of Boulder, for instance, if you throw your old motor oil down a storm drain, it will wind up in Boulder Creek,” says Bill Hayes, team leader of the county’s Partners for a Clean Environment (PACE) program. So will all the other stuff the rain washes off of parking lots, driveways, roads, construction sites, gardens, etc. Much of this pollution is inevitable. It’s for the preventable that the Boulder County Public Health Department has the Keep It Clean Partnership. KICP works with cities to help keep whatever isn’t rain out of storm drains. Among other things, it contracts with PACE, the program that trains businesses to reduce their environmental impacts in 10 minutes. Once a business learns to, say, pressure-wash a restaurant patio without harmful chemi-

cals, it is added to the PACE Allies list, posted on its website and shared with businesses looking for certified service providers. “The certification came with the business when I bought it in January,” says Marc Anievas, owner of X-Stream Clean in Boulder. “Whether it’s a hospital or a restaurant grease pit, we can handle it with the same green cleaning products and techniques. The customer may not care that it’s green, but I do, and it feels good!” KICP also has residential interests covered. Its website points out the three common sources of pollutants and how to handle them — pet poop (dispose of in the toilet), fertilizers (use organic products and minimally) and vehicle maintenance fluids (recycle at the Boulder County Household Hazardous Waste center). When washing your car at home, park it on the lawn rather than in the driveway. It’s not just cleaning products that run off but vehicle residues — oil, grease, fuel and traces of metals. Grass will absorb all this much better than our waterways. By the way, if you notice a spill or illegal discharge headed for the storm drains — such as fuel or waste from a traffic accident, or a floor drain from a building leaking into the street — you can get the right attention paid to it by calling the Illegal Discharge Reporting Hotline at 303441-4444. For more information, visit the Boulder County Household Hazardous Waste website at www.bouldercounty.org/recycling/hhw/hhwhome.htm, or call 303441-4800.

ear-fatal car crashes, naked arm wrestling, runaway girlfriends and drummers, and even the unfortunate deaths of two dear friends. That’s the short story of Ego Vs Id’s debut album, Taste (Abattoir Records), recorded next to a strip club in Boulder over the past two years. But to see outspoken young singer/guitarist Nate Cook lead his raucous Thursday night acoustic sets at the Speakeasy, you’d think being in one of Boulder’s most promising bands was all whiskey and roses. “Performing acoustically for three-and-a-half hours, it’s kind of a playground,” Cook, 24, says of the weekly, off-the-cuff residency that began as a sort of solo rehearsal and now often features his bandmates and other special guests. “Playing acoustic opens up the world of subtlety, which is something that we’re not necessarily known for,” Cook tells Boulder Weekly. And that’s an understatement. In concert, Ego Vs Id has evolved into one the tightest, most professional-sounding rock groups in Colorado, the volatile Cook jumping all over the stage while EVI slashes its way through a brash,

earnest and surprisingly original brand of countrified indie-rock and a few choice covers. In person, the band’s three core members — Cook, guitarist/ singer Robbie Steifel and bassist/singer Jesse Parmet — are the kind of frank, hard-partying guys you’d expect from their simultaneously heartfelt and decadent lyrics. But in the studio these past few years, Cook and Co. became somewhat workobsessed, nearly to the point of destruction. At first, however, the work environment while recording and mixing their debut LP was a little too much of a playground. “We were so green going into it that we made some pretty classic mistakes,” Cook says. “Especially in treating it like a party towards the beginning, and I wish we hadn’t done that. The next record will probably take a month and it’ll be raw and ‘balls to the wall,’ but this one — I’m glad we did it that way.” “Spending so long in the studio as we did really wasn’t intentional,” Steifel adds. “I have a feeling that, looking back in 10 years, Taste will be the most produced of all our music … but I guess in the end we came out with a record that sonically and artisti-

cally rivals bands that are on major labels, and I think we can perhaps use that to our advantage.” A Pandora’s box of rock ’n’ roll ambition, it’s impossible to describe Taste — which traverses mellow ballads, punk-influenced rock and poetic Southern rock — with blanket statements, although a few media outlets have already tried. “All American Love” and “Lenny Bruce,” two lyrically and musically vigorous tracks that previously appeared on a self-released EP, showcase Cook and Steifel’s individual talents for writing and playing mid-tempo rock that juxtaposes heavy subjects and mercurial music. Cook wrestles with the English language like James Joyce observing a modern hipster bar, while Steifel takes a more straightforward approach that has been compared to Springsteen and Tom Petty, only with a lot more drug references. Overall, Taste is a grab bag of intensity, pop satire, tongue-in-cheek beauty and self-loathing debauchery. Taste has been called over-produced, and a few tunes certainly did lose the bombast that makes Ego Vs Id so entertaining in concert, but the majority of the album’s 13 tracks feature distinctly poignant moments that represent what Cook describes as “an amalgamation of our influences.”

“Our tastes are always evolving and changing,” he says. “Maybe some people think listening to Phoebe Snow and then listening to the Slits creates a lack of focus, but I think it just adds more dimension to the music.” Ego Vs Id — and especially the layered harmonies and overdubs of Taste — are obviously not trying to impress Denver hipsters or earn the opening slot on Ani DiFranco’s next tour. Taste isn’t for everyone, and pleasing everybody was never a goal, according to Cook. “We’re not really trying to be one thing,” Cook says. “We’re just trying to be a band that makes music we want to hear, and because we’re all involved in every song there’s kind of an implied continuity to it all. We always wanted to be a good band and make good music, so that didn’t change [in the recording process]. We lost some of the assholishness of thinking it all had to be recorded in-room and analog; we kind of came around on some of that stuff.” Perhaps most interesting, however, is how glaring an irony it is that after almost two years in a professional recording studio, using some of eTown’s priceless guitars, Ego Vs Id struck gold with the lovely “National Disaster,” the only song on Taste entirely recorded live. It’s a sure-fire radio hit a la U2 and Wilco — if the band can get it out to

the right people — and also the track the band spent by far the least amount of time on. Whether the album would’ve been better as a whole if such a minimalist recording technique was used on its other 12 songs will always be a mystery, but Cook says he wouldn’t change a thing. “We’re known as a raw live band and we wanted to kind of round out what we were doing and even see for ourselves if we were capable of doing it,” Cook says. “The only real goal was to make the best music we can and that’s what we did. You can make a great record in three weeks, and we’ll probably make the next record in three weeks, but primarily we were just trying to make the best record we could, and something like that takes time.” Over-production arguments aside, for some it will take significant time just to process Ego Vs Id lyrics such as “bombastic plastic men carry guns of fantastic calibers / made by native sons and gentlemen giving pearly dreams to all the girls / who wait all day on iron trains playing doctor and familiar games / and everyone wakes up or they don’t.” It’s not too much of a stretch to call those Cook-penned lines slightly Dylanesque — “you used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat / who

carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat,” anyone? — But in a town where 3OH!3 is the only real breakout band of late, one wonders if the simultaneously P.C. and dance-party-obsessed Boulder is the right place for Ego Vs Id. “I’m completely baffled by 3OH!3 and that’s the honest truth,” Cook says. “People like it; they can dance to it; it has that appeal to the ‘tween’ market, [but] our music is kind of heady in a way; it’s not simply love songs or songs about just getting pussy or whatever. I do my best to find the worst parts of myself and try to explain them to myself, you know?” “We thought the hipsters were going to be our fanbase,” Cook says, “but we’re a rock ’n’ roll band. Trying to be cool sucks.” Having your music called “boring as fuck” indie-rock that “treads water and ends up nowhere” by Westword must also suck, but for now Cook tries to take the criticisms and compliments equally un-seriously. “We don’t have to pull a cat’s tail, add some fuckin’ reverb, play it in reverse and then sing over it to make interesting music. And we’re not in it to make friends,” Cook says. “My mom always said, ‘It takes a carpenter to build a barn and it takes a jackass to knock it down.’” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Killers frontman goes solo

by Gene Ira Katz

fter six years of almost non-stop concert tours, with more than 15 million CDs sold, Las Vegas band The Killers decided they needed a break. Their hiatus, except for an upcoming Christmas single, has provided the opportunity for their charismatic lead singer, Brandon Flowers, to release his own solo album Flamingo, an exhilarating, melody-rich collection of material that easily rivals the best of his band’s well-loved music. The 29-year-old Flowers has described his early musical influences as British groups like New Order, The Smiths, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode and Oasis; in fact, it was a live Oasis concert Flowers attended as a youngster that convinced him to pursue a career in music. He has stated, “I was pretty alienated as a kid. … It was really weird because other kids were buying Tool and Nirvana and I was buying The Cars and The Psychedelic Furs.” His first band, a synth-pop outfit called Blush Response, left him behind in 2001 when he chose not to move to Los Angeles and leave his beloved Las Vegas, which he refers to as the jewel of the Mojave. After hooking up with guitarist Dave Keuning, and a succession of short-lived sidemen, a solid group finally came together in 2002 with the addition of bassist Mark Stoermer and drummer Ronnie Vannucci. They named themselves The Killers, after a legendary fictional bass drum. Their 2004 debut album, Hot Fuss, sold more than 5 million copies and earned the No. 1 position on many record sales charts internationally.

Flamingo easily reached the No. 1 spot in the U.K. shortly after its late summer 2010 release, selling a million copies and earning British gold. The album has placed as high as No. 8 on the U.S. charts and garnered a wide spectrum of public response ranging from high praise like “an absolute triumph” and “a doozy of a debut … [a] soul-stirring event that never goes soft” to lesser notice such as those who call it “a beautiful mess” or a selection of “lackluster … ’80s rock clichés.” Garnering comparisons to artists as diverse as Bruce Springsteen, Brian Eno, Lou Reed, Joe Henry and even Devo, some critics have noted that this solo offering really bridges the gap left by The Killers’ current hiatus, which is expected to last until sometime in 2012.

Indeed, the 10 tracks on Flamingo (plus an additional five on the deluxe edition) were actually all composed for The Killers, and while some have suggested that these tunes may have been rejects, according to Flowers, that is not the case. These were all apparently slated for future recordings by the entire band, but the front man decided that rather than staying put for a couple of years with the rest of The Killers, he would go ahead and record these songs himself. In the opinion of this reviewer, it was a great decision that will no doubt help promote and maintain Flowers as one of the premier artists in contemporary rock, even beyond his well-deserved recognition as the voice of The Killers. Working with three different producers, Flowers laid down most of the tracks at Las Vegas’ Battle Born Studios, just a stone’s throw from the strip, where Elton John, Motley Crue, Aerosmith and Third Eye Blind, among others, have also recorded. In an industry blog interview, Flowers joked that not only was the studio a comfortable place to record, but “it’s a decent excuse for me to keep working, [and to be able to tell] my wife, that I’m just going down the street.” Spin magazine named Brandon Flowers one of “The 15 Best Shows of the Summer” in 2010 for his solo show in Vegas. Spin also listed him as one of “The 25 Best Fall Tours” and “ Must-See Fall Tours” of 2010. Flowers appears with full back-up band, featuring special guests including Stuart Price, Andy Summers and Fran Healy. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Chamber music mash-up

Imani Winds throws expectations out the window

by Peter Alexander

tango-like serenade from Argentina? Check. Music by a jazz musician? Check. Straight-up Americana? Russian primitivism? Jewish celebration music? Check, check and check. Add a piece by a local composer, and the program by the Imani Winds has just about every cultural tradition you could fit into one concert. But that’s part of the point with the Imani Winds, which will perform that program at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 19, in Macky Auditorium as part of the CU Presents concert series. In fact, the distinctive woodwind quintet was founded on the ideal of breaking new ground, both in its makeup — all five members are musicians of color — and in its programming, which joins traditional European concert music with music from other cultures, especially African-American and Latin American. The quintet was started in 1997 by their flutist, Valerie Coleman. She did what a lot of musicians do when they are just starting a career in New York: She made phone calls to some other young freelancers and put together an ensemble. It’s sort of a “Let’s put on a show!” rite of passage for musicians. But Coleman had a larger vision before she even made the first call. As the group’s clarinetist, Miriam Adam — whose heritage includes Egyptian and Mexican — explains, “Valerie’s original desire was to champion the music of underrepresented composers that were not strictly Western European, and to bring a new interpretation of classical music from our perspective, as musicians of color.” But Adam quickly adds, “When this group started we had no way of making money, so it really was a leap of faith — which is what Imani means.” From that original leap of faith, Imani Winds has prospered to the point that the group represents a full-

time job for the members. They have toured major concert venues across the country and recorded five CDs. Just this month, Boston Globe critic Harlowe Robinson wrote that the Imani Winds are “recognized by many as the leading wind quintet in America,” noting that the group “revels in challenging preconceptions about ‘classical’ music and musicians.” As the ensemble has matured and earned more success, the focus has changed. “Now it’s really about the music, and it’s about the energy and the spirit that we bring to chamber music,” Adam says. One thing that’s definitely “about the music” is Imani’s desire to expand the repertoire for woodwind quintet, to get beyond the classics and present music that reflects contemporary styles. In particular, they have worked with musicians from outside the classical mainstream, including jazz artists Stefon Harris, Wayne Shorter and Paquito D’Rivera. As an outgrowth of their interest in new repertoire, Imani recently established their Legacy Commissioning Project. Starting as a celebration of the ensemble’s 10th

anniversary in 2007, it has expanded to a fiveyear project with two new works each year. “It’s the idea of having wind quintet repertoire that will live beyond our lifetime,” Adam says. “That’s how [the Legacy Project] was born, and it continues.” To return to that checklist of different cultures, Friday’s program will open with the “Serenata” of Argentinean composer Carlos Franzetti, followed by one of the Legacy Commissions, “Cane” by jazz pianist Jason Moran. A striking and highly personal work based on his family’s history, “Cane” was Moran’s first work for classically trained musicians. Also on the program will be American composer Samuel Barber’s “Summer Music,” a movement from “Suite Cantabile” by Boulder resident Bill Douglas, Jonathan Russell’s arrangement of music from Stravinksy’s 1913 ballet “Rite of Spring,” and a pair of Jewish Klezmer dances arranged by Gene Kavaldo. Nothing on the program may be more startling than the “Rite of Spring” arrangement. Written for a large orchestra, “The Rite of Spring” was so violently expressionistic that it created a riot at its Paris premiere. It’s not a likely piece for a chamber concert. “It’s what we call a chop-buster,” Adam admits. But, she says, “we are a rock ’n’ roll ensemble, dynamic-wise, and we can really create a big sound. I think that’s why ‘The Rite of Spring’ works.” But in the end, more than the sound, or the repertoire, or the musicians’ identities, Imani performances are about reaching an audience. “One thing we tell students all the time,” Adam says, is that “chamber music, at least in our niche, has 100 percent job satisfaction. You know, we’re doing what we love to do, we’re doing what we were allowed to develop a passion for, and that always is infectious. It always is.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Since then, the idea has grown into an international festival of independent films addressing everything from environmental activism to extreme sports. Now in its sixth year, the Adventure Film Festival will be showing in Boulder from Nov. 18 to Nov. 20. The festival consists of 25 films hand-picked by a committee of professional athletes, activists, photographers and filmmakers out of 140 submissions from around the world.

Searching For Inspiration?

“I have come back to Swedenborg after vast studies of all religions, and after reading all the works published within the last sixty years. Swedenborg undoubtedly epitomizes all the religions--or rather the one religion--of humanity.” Honore de Balzac “Swedenborg’s message has meant so much to me! It has given color and reality and unity to my thought of the life to come; it has exalted my ideas of love, truth, and usefulness; it has been my strongest incitement to overcome limitations... He is the greatest champion of genuine Christianity in twenty centuries.” Helen Keller

people have an inherent potential for exploration and adventure inside them even if it’s not the most gnarly, deathdefying feat.” Vance Howard, a Boulder fine-arts photographer and filmmaker, agrees with Ozturk about the ubiquitous humanity in adventure films that appeals to so many. “Adventure films are fun, both to watch and to make,” Howard says. “I think of it as being similar to our ancestral elders returning to the campfire from an ancient hunt for game and sharing stories of the journey. It’s the same idea now, only we have the glow of HDTVs replacing the sparks and embers of the campfire.” Howard will be moderating a filmmaker workshop on Nov. 19, hosted by Adventure Films, at the REI store in Boulder. The workshop will be led by multiple Emmy Award-winner Michael Brown, independent filmmaker Marcus Lucas, director and producer Jeff Orlowski and Oscar-winning producer and cinematographer Michael Ramsey. The panel will discuss the latest equipment, shooting techniques, production development and marketing, as well as how to make films with stories that are compelling and meaningful. “I think that the story is by far the most crucial component of a good adventure film. Conveying the emotional and physical struggle of an adventure is hard to do, but when it’s done well it can really take a film to the next level,” Ozturk says. “For me, the biggest reason to convey the spirit of adventure is that it develops understanding of how fragile the planet is on a deep emotional level.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

SophisticatedSex

boulderweekly.com/sophisticatedsex

The truth about genitals by Dr. Jenni Skyler

elcome back to Sophisticated Sex. This week we are changing the format of the column to incorporate your most juicy, burning or embarrassing questions about sex, intimacy and relationships. To submit your questions, see contact information at the bottom of the column. Dear Dr. Jenni, My husband and I are expecting a baby boy. It is our first child, and we are deliberating as to whether we should have him circumcised or not. My husband is circumcised and is eager to have the same procedure for our son. I am skeptical if this is needed. Is it cleaner to have him circumcised? Will it reduce his sexual pleasure in the future? Concerned Mom-To-Be Dear CMTB, It’s fabulous that you are asking this question and having this important conversation with your husband. Circumcision is usually performed for religious, cosmetic and/or hygienic reasons; however there is no medical indication for the procedure. Removal of foreskin does make it easier to clean the penis, and research shows that those who are circumcised have a slightly lower risk of getting sexually transmitted infections (STIs). That said, a daily shower, including a good scrub-down of the foreskin and entire genital area, can handle the hygiene issue, and it goes without saying that condoms are enormously more safe and effective in preventing STIs than circumcision. As for sexual sensation, the research differs. It’s safe to say that most adult men, circumcised or not, derive great pleasure from their penis and find their head to be highly sensitive. Yet, we know for sure that the foreskin is chock-full of nerve-endings. Because of this, some experts claim that circumcision shortchanges sexual sensation, as the penis skin has had to develop a tougher exterior in the absence of foreskin protection. This may be evidenced in men who need harder thrusting during intercourse to obtain maximum physical sensation. On the other hand, studies of adult men who have lived part of their life with their foreskin and part of their life without it do not demonstrate considerable loss of sensation upon circumcision. Boulder Weekly

At the end of the day, you may want to defer this important decision to your soonto-be son and empower him to make his own informed choice when he gets older. Dear Dr. Jenni, I have really uneven labia. One side is quite small and seems to have a normal appearance, while the other looks beefy and juts out. Is this weird to have such misshaped labia? I’ve only had sex with one person and did so in the dark because I was embarrassed. Misshaped and Embarrassed Dear M’n’E, Don’t stress! The shape, size and color of the entire vulva — including the inner and outer labia, the clitoris, the clitoral hood and the vaginal opening — differ from woman to woman. Think of your vulva as a fingerprint. They are each unique and each normal. The inner lips may be beefier and bigger than the outer lips, or the other way around. One lip may be bigger than the other. Or all lips may be small and symmetrical or full and fabulous. I highly suggest looking at the labia and anatomy sections on the site www. the-clitoris.com. There you will find a plethora of pictures with various vulvas. I encourage women to explore these pictures, as it normalizes the idea that vulvas really do come in many shapes, sizes and colors. Like a magazine cover, we rarely see more full-figured women or women with freckles or scars. If all women were to look like the flawless stick figures of Vogue, then there would be no room for other types of beauty. Same can be said for vulvas. We rarely get to see what other types of vulvas exist — beyond the small, shaved labias of Playboy. I encourage you to explore these pictures to see that there is a very varied world out there — and it’s all beautiful. Then turn on the lights and get some mirror time to start looking at yourself and your vulva. Make friends with her so that you can feel more comfortable sharing her with a partner — with the lights on. Once you can accept and then love your labia, then so will the lucky partner who gets to be with you next. Send questions for Jenni Skyler, PhD, to drjenni@theintimacyinstitute.org. Skyler is a sex therapist and board-certified sexologist who runs The Intimacy Institute in Boulder, www.theintimacyinstitute.org.

Boulder’s Eric Larsen speaks for the poles by Tom Winter

ard work. Two words that mean many different things to many different people. But to polar explorer and word traveler Eric Larsen, they sum up a philosophy. A philosophy that not only drove him to both the North and South Poles, but also to the top of Everest — all during the past year. Any one of those destinations would constitute the trip of a lifetime for a normal person. And while Larsen claim’s he’s normal — “I was never the fastest, strongest or smartest,” he says — he’s not normal in one very important aspect. He just works harder, much harder, than the rest of us. rp.boulder.weekly.ability.pdf

for a long time before you achieve results, though. Larsen admits that despite support from sponsors, including Bing, Terramar, Goal0, Atlas, MSR, Optic Nerve and Boulder-based Sierra Designs (among others), he still lives an extraordinarily simple existence. “My gear is all in my girlfriend’s basement,” he says, admitting that he doesn’t have a place of his own to store it. In this regard, Larsen’s imminent move here will put him in good company, as he’ll join a cadre of elite local athletes who rely on significant others to help hold down the fort while they pursue lofty goals. Still, with both the first step and the last step taken from his extraordinary adventure to both poles and the highest place on earth, the obvious question is what’s next for Eric Larsen? After all, the bar has now been set pretty high. “A big part of my future is continuing to tell the story of the Save the Poles expedition,” says Larsen. “I’ll be doing presentations at schools, a book and documentary. I want to make sure that I do this story the justice it deserves. I’ll also be working with Michael Ramsey on a documentary of the Arctic Ocean, and I want to continue doing expeditions that highlight environmental issues. The platform of a journey has broad appeal. And for me, as someone who loves winter and loves cold, I want to continue to be an advocate of those places. “For me it’s about storytelling,” continues Larsen. “It is sharing those beautiful places with people.” And his take on the future of these places awash in a frozen beauty? “I’m an optimist,” he says. “You have to be. I think there are a lot of examples in our history of us overcoming some major environmental crisis. Unfortunately those are all examples of how we’ve responded to a crisis. And that’s the problem with climate change: It’s not impacting us in an immediate way. I’m very worried that by the time the crisis hits it will be too late. I feel we have the ability to change, but do we have the will?” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Blogger turns disease into opportunity

by Rene Lynch Glenn Koenig/Los Angeles Times/MCT

he long, narrow plate arrived at her Gluten-free baconwrapped pork belly table, and, like any good food blogger, Shauna James Ahern paused to take it all in: roasted red piquillo peppers — plump with a lentil stuffing — alongside graceful strands of quick-pickled green beans and red onions, and emerald pools of cilantro-ginger sauce. “When people hear ‘gluten-free,’ the reaction can be ‘poor thing,’ and I just want to say, ‘Look at what’s on my plate — does this look like deprivation to you?’” In the blogosphere, Ahern, 44, is best known as Gluten-Free Girl. She’s a Pacific Northwest blogger who was diagnosed in 2005 with celiac disease, ending decades of mysterious ailments and endless medical exams. At one point, she was largely subsisting on Her blog has become an online coffeehouse for jarred baby food because she was too sick to cook for people who share the digestive condition, which herself.

500,000 visitors to Ahern’s site each month don’t suffer from celiac disease. They just want to know what will happen next for GlutenFree Girl, and Ahern sees the comments section light up whenever the Aherns’ daughter, Lucy, now 2, makes an appearance. “Never in my wildest dreams did I think people would want to follow along with all of this,” says Ahern, whose online popularity also led to the 2007 memoir, Gluten-Free Girl: How I Found the Food That Loves Me Back ... and How You Can Too. Ahern is now a stay-at-home mom and full-time writer on rural Vashon Island in Washington, where her husband is the chef at a restaurant called the Hardware Store. He’s expanded the restaurant menu to include gluten-free dishes, such as those piquillo peppers. “I’m a writer, so when I started the blog I just did it as an outlet, as a way to get my thoughts down and document this,” she says. “And then people started finding the blog — I have no idea how that happened — and I realized, ‘Hey, I can help people with this.’” She says that before her diagnosis, life seemed like one revolving doctor’s appointment. Today, Ahern keeps a gluten-free home and almost never yearns for the forbidden. Instead, she and her husband develop recipes that scratch that comfort food itch, such as chocolate-peanut butter brownies that use gluten-free oat flour. They are addicted to the trial-and-error of it all. He, after all, is a chef always in search of a new dish. And she’s a food writer who uses it as fodder for the blog. The pair toiled for months to develop their recipe for homemade pasta. (They use corn and quinoa flours.) “For us, that is fun in the kitchen,” she says. “I just never get over the amazement at looking down at the food on my plate and realizing that food can be a great way to heal yourself.” © Los Angeles Times/MCT — MCT

he countdown to Thanksgiving is on. Finally there is a chill in the air, and I’m ready to plan out my menu and figure out who won’t be on the guest list. Yes, my method is a little caddywhompus, but it helps to know that Large Aunt Marge will be going elsewhere. Nothing wrong with being large, and I could really care less about a person’s weight, however — and this is a big however — she didn’t get the nickname Large Marge for nothing. It’s actually the difference between baking two pies or five. Lady likes her some desserts. Who can blame her, with all the pumpkin treats floating around, but save some for the cousins, would ya? This week Aunt Marge would be beside herself. Chocolate Toffee Pumpkin Fudge. After all, I am pumpkin crazy this month, so why not make a traditional fudge recipe with a pumpkin toffee twist? If you are a pumpkin lover as well, you will be right there with Aunt Marge, hoarding all the dessert love. This treat is rich and creamy, with traditional pumpkin pie spices mingling delightfully with the chocolate toffee. You will love how simple it is to whip up a batch, but remember, patience is your friend with this recipe — bringing it to a boil a couple of times is necessary to reach that wonderful consistency that melts in your mouth. You can easily substitute your favorite nut for the toffee. I just happen to like this combo. I do know you Boulder Weekly readers are creative, smart and know how to get your dessert on. So spread your pumpkin wings and let your dessert imagination fly. Just make darn sure to bake a few extra batches if Aunt Marge finds her way to your celebration. Now, follow the directions, put some love into it and invite me over

Salvaggio’s Italian Deli 2609 Pearl St., Boulder 303-938-1981

alvaggio’s won’t win awards for groundbreaking sandwiches, but that isn’t the point. In this case, a predictable menu is a virtue. Fans of textbook deli-style sandwiches will be content here, and the generous portions and classic flavors will put the diner in a comfortable frame of mind. Top choices include the traditional Italian sub with its mix of pepperoni, Genoa salami, mortadella and provolone. Chicken salad is another fine entry, with a delicate herbal taste that’s at home in a sandwich or atop a green salad.

Pupusas Sabor Hispano 4550 N. Broadway, Boulder 303-444-1729

oulder’s Pupusas Sabor Hispano decamped a few months back from the west side of Broadway to bigger, more posh digs across the street. Fortunately, one can still enjoy the restaurant’s namesake Salvadorean pupusas and staples typically associated with Mexican cuisine, such as menudo, burritos and tacos, at moderate prices. Vegetarians will enjoy the deeply flavorful bean pupusa, while the unrepentant carnivore will delight in the rich pork versions. Also, the signature flan continues to delight.

Delhi Darbar 1132 W. Dillion Rd., Louisville 303-665-4848

ituated not far from the Louisville multiplex movie theater and home improvement monoliths, Delhi Darbar serves up a classic Indian menu, including a reasonably priced luncheon buffet. There’s a listing of vegetarian specialties such as an okra bhindi, which matches this unique vegetable with onion. Other worthwhile choices include a pleasing lamb stew, as well as a sizzling, freshfrom-the-oven Tandoori chicken.

The Kitchen 1039 Pearl St., Boulder 303-544-5973

elf-described as a “community bistro,” The Kitchen prides itself on using such sustainable local ingredients as Long Farm pork, Monroe Farm veggies and Fox Fire lamb. The diverse menu, which has attracted national media attention, includes charcuterie and cheese platters, as well as melon salads and heirloom squash soup. Small appetites will appreciate petite servings of fries and other starters, while the famished can enjoy full-bore entrees like meatless red wheat berries and Long Farm pork chops. 50 November 18, 2010

rendy is not how one would describe Andrea’s Homestead Café in downtown Lyons, with ambience that crosses a hunting lodge with a European relative’s home. Indeed, this establishment has a definite Teutonic vibe, as evidenced by the ample selection of dinner menu schnitzels and old country bric-a-brac. The morning menu features standard bacon-and-egg breakfasts with such flourishes as German-style potatoes and fine vegetarian green chile.

Pizzeria Basta 3601 Arapahoe Ave., Boulder 303-997-8775

equestered in the Peloton residences, Pizzeria Basta features an unintimidating selection of starters focusing on cheese and charcuterie, as well as pasta, salads and pizza. The $10 lunch special is an excellent value, offering soup or salad with an entree choice of pizza, calzone or sandwich. A chef ’s special calzone stuffed with cheese, bright tomato sauce and salami is a winner, as are desserts like the house-made spearmint ice cream and a lavender-scented panna cotta.

The menu is constantly changing, but reasonable prices and high-quality are certainly the norm.

Brasserie Ten Ten 1011 Walnut St., Boulder 303-998-1010

owntown’s Brasserie Ten Ten has a touch of the old school with its wood panels, a full bar and ambience that isn’t just typical modernist minimalism. Traditionalism’s also apparent on the menu: escargot, steak frites and seafood platters. Other items, like a hot dog dressed with mornay sauce and gruyere cheese, may not be strictly authentic, but are still consistent with the brasserie’s comfort-food tradition.

Zoe Ma Ma 2010 10th St., Boulder 303-545-MAMA

here’s not exactly a San Francisco-style Cantonese menu at Zoe Ma Ma, which features authentic Chinese cooking. Sure, they have pot stickers and steamed bao, the porkfilled dim sum white buns.

Other delicious features include entrée salads, mac and cheese and mussels, not to mention the variety of Belgian draft beers.

Jet’s Espressoria 2116 Pearl St., Boulder 303-247-0124

et’s Espressoria is an inviting Pearl Street spot that serves up full-bodied, fair-trade organic coffee with subtly spicy tones. In addition to the java, the other star attraction is the baked goods crafted on site, including scones, muffins and other pastries, notably the exemplary chocolate chip cookies. These are enticingly plump treats, dripping with buttery flavor and tantalizingly melted chocolate chips, served warm straight off the cookie sheet.

Basil Flats 1067 S. Hover Rd., Longmont 303-776-1777

ith 127 Hours, the Oscarwinning director of Slumdog Millionaire proves it’s possible to make a supercharged, perpetually kinetic movie about a man who can’t move. It is something, this film from director Danny Boyle, who adapted Aron Ralston’s memoir Between a Rock and a Hard Place with Slumdog collaborator Simon Beaufoy. I just don’t think it’s quite the right thing. In April 2003, Ralston, an experienced hiker, like a lot of Colorado residents, took off solo on what he describes in his book as “a capriciously impromptu vacation,” by dirt bike and on foot. Armed with food, water, a video camera, a dullish knife and a fairly light backpack, Ralston eventually squeezed into a tricky slot canyon in eastern Utah, 40 miles south of Interstate 70 but seemingly a galaxy away from the commercial imprints of the human race. He tested the stability of an 800-pound chockstone boulder before crawling underneath, and downward. The boulder dislodged and came crashing down, pinning Ralston’s right wrist to the canyon wall. The movie rides on pure, dizzy sensation, and certainly there is a large slice of Ralston’s personality to support Boyle’s attack. The Midwest-to-Colorado transplant played by James Franco loved to hike, raft, climb and bliss out in high-altitude sunshine. He’d gotten in scrapes before but nothing like what was waiting for him in Canyonlands National Park. How

he made it out of there constitutes no spoiler: If you know anything about Ralston, his book or the film, you know what he had to do to survive. In the book, Ralston describes himself as “impatient,” and Boyle’s film seizes that quality. It is an adrenaline-fueled whirligig about an adrenaline-fueled character. Once he’s stuck (Page 27 in the 400-page book, fairly early on in the movie) Boyle keeps going. His technique overemphasizes the racing thoughts and scrambled memories in Ralston’s mind. There’s a

fine and uncharacteristically quiet moment when the film’s title finally appears on the screen, starting the countdown. Boyle’s an entertainer of prodigious talent. Which is not the same thing as prodigious judgment. Shot under tight but aggressively playful stylistic conditions by cinematographers Anthony Dod Mantle and Enrique Chediak, 127 Hours never calms down. You suspect you’re only getting half the truth of what this ordeal must’ve been like. The movie shies away from any real opportunity for introspection under horrible duress; it’s too busy being too busy. Add to Boyle’s irrational exuberance the bombastic music of Slumdog composer A.H. Rahman, plus editor Jon Harris adding left hooks and right jabs, and well before you get to the part with the knife and the amputation you may think: Too much. Many love it and find it an experience of unusual intensity. The craft is considerable. Franco, the game and engaging star of a virtual one-man show, holds up his part of the bargain. In an early encounter with two female hikers, along with a rather predictable welter of flashbacks, Ralston’s shown to be a paradox —a nicely socialized loner, you might say. Franco conveys that quality, even as he’s throwing himself into the sheer physical challenge of the crisis at hand. My question for Boyle is simple. At what point does a director’s determination to activate a static scenario become dishonest?

Train of thought

o matter how blue-collar or red-meat the story, director Tony Scott’s movies revel in his luxe, glossy yet easily distracted technique that ensures every shot is trailer-ready, and every fractured moment strives for maximum coolness. He’s an old-school cliche-hugger with a determined set of tricks that generally work for him, chief among them close-ups so close you feel like a dermatologist looking for warning signs. The runaway train thriller Unstoppable is one of his better films. Even if you resist Scott’s brand of visual storytelling, proudly and persistently derived from TV commercials, this one charges down the track merrily unburdened by exposition. Unmanned freight train’s loose. Must be stopped. Veteran train engineer Denzel Washington and newbie Chris Pine are on the job. Questions? I can’t believe we wasted even that much time on the plot. Scott’s previous film was the remake of The Taking of Pelham 123. The train in that film mostly stayed still. The train in Unstoppable does not. For the most part — spoiler alert — it cannot be stopped, not even by Scott’s insatiable lust for telephoto lensing, an approach that mashes whatever’s on screen at the moment (and “a moment” is the average shot length) into a dense pile-up of faces, machines, movement and menace. The faces and the machines kill the 99 minutes nicely, thanks.

Under a rock

By Michael Phillips

“very toxic, highly combustible” chemicals on its way, flying through crossings (170 crossings make for a lot of potential carnage!), grunting and wailing in its amped-up, snarly beast sound effects like a mechanical Kraken. (Ken J. Johnson provided “additional train sounds.”) Only way to stop the unstoppable: with an oddcouple pair of Bickersons ready for a road trip, by train. Washington’s character has a couple of daughters who work at Hooters. Why is this? Because if he didn’t, Unstoppable would be mostly shots of trains, or of Rosario Dawson talking tough as the yardmaster. Once the railroad company executives (shown golfing, in

carefree plutocratic manner) realize they may have some trouble on their hands, they attempt a planned derailment. Frank, played by Washington, knows this won’t cut it. Most of Unstoppable has Frank and Pine’s moody cuss, named Will, going rogue and whizzing along in a locomotive in reverse, trying to catch up with the runaway and bring it to heel. Why does the film work? Simplicity. In its slickedup way, Unstoppable likely will find favor with diversion-seekers (and train buffs) of various ages and political persuasions. The threats of unemployment, the roiling discontent with the recession, a hint of Tea Partystained rage: The movie, written by Mark Bomback in yellow highlighter, catches a distinct, nervous breeze, while (rightly) offering up its working-class heroes as, well, heroes. Washington couldn’t hit a false note if he tried; Pine, whose character is trying to get his marriage back together, keeps up solidly, and Dawson’s dispatcher brooks no weaselly nonsense from the company overlord played as a walking sneer (but subtly) by Kevin Dunn. The real-life incident that inspired the film? In May 2001, a CSX Transportation locomotive chugged across 66 miles’ worth of northwest Ohio, with no one at the controls. Top speed: 47 mph. No injuries. Well. We knew that would never hold for the movie version.

The taut, internationally acclaimed thriller Army of Crime is set during the early days of the French Resistance, a time when so many of the movement’s leaders and foot soldiers were often foreigners — Poles, Jews, Armenians, Spaniards, Italians — who had to fear French collaborators as well as the Germans. Armenian poet Missak Manouchian and his French wife Mélinée lead a ragtag assortment of volunteers against the German occupiers and their French allies.

As a covert officer in the CIA’s Counter-Proliferation Division, Valerie leads an investigation into the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Valerie’s husband, diplomat Joe Wilson (Sean Penn), is drawn into the investigation to substantiate an alleged sale of enriched uranium from Niger.

We like revenge stories, especially that of the borderline-superhuman heroine here, bisexual computer wizard and sexual abuse survivor Lisbeth Salander, who exacts bittersweet revenge on the men who very nearly destroy her. This wrap-up film is a rather wobbly blend of courtroom drama and loose ends tied, albeit rather leisurely. It is both formulaic and unformulaic enough. Rated R.

To his credit, Block does not shy away from these moments, nor from the insightful yet occasionally harsh analysis his wife offers.

Tamara Drewe’s present-day English countryside is a much funnier place. When Tamara Drewe (Gemma Arterton) sashays back to the bucolic village of her youth, life for the locals is thrown upside down. Tamara, once an ugly duckling, has been transformed into a devastating beauty (with help from plastic surgery). As infatuations, jealousies, love affairs and career ambitions collide among the inhabitants of the neighboring farmsteads, Tamara sets a contemporary comedy of manners into play using the oldest magic in the book — sex appeal.

Waste Land Filmed over nearly three years, Waste Land follows renowned artist Vik Muniz as he journeys from his home base in Brooklyn to his native Brazil and the world’s largest garbage dump, Jardim Gramacho, located on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. There he photographs an eclectic band of “catadores”— self-designated pickers of recyclable materials. Muniz’s initial objective was to “paint” the catadores with garbage. However, his collaboration with these inspiring characters as they recreate photographic images of themselves out of garbage reveals both the dignity and despair of the catadores as they begin to re-imagine their lives. Director Lucy Walker has great access to the entire process and, in the end, offers stirring evidence of the transformative power of art and the alchemy of the human spirit.

Boulder Weekly

astrology boulderweekly.com/astrology ARIES

March 21-April 19:

“You don’t want to be the best of the best,” said Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia. “You just want to be the only one who does what you do.” That’s always good advice, but it will be especially apt for you during the next few weeks. You’re entering a phase when competing with other people will get you nowhere fast. What will get you somewhere fast is nurturing your unique talents and proclivities. Do you know exactly what they are? If you’re even a little fuzzy, make it your quest to get very clear.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20:

What is the “soul,” anyway? Is it a ghostly blob of magic stuff within us that keeps us connected to the world of dreams and the divine realms? Is it an amorphous metaphor for the secret source of our spiritual power? Is it a myth that people entertain because they desperately want to believe there’s more to them than just their physical bodies? Here’s what I think: The soul is a perspective that pushes us to go deeper and see further and live wilder. It’s what drives our imagination to flesh out our raw experience, transforming that chaotic stuff into rich storylines that animate our love of life. With the gently propulsive force of the soul, we probe beyond the surface level of things, working to find the hidden meaning and truer feeling. I’m bringing this up, Taurus, because it is Celebrate the Soul Week for you.

GEMINI

May 21-June 20:

“Nothing changes until it’s changed in everyone’s memories,” said poet Alice Notley. I urge you to keep that in mind as you move forward, Gemini. In recent weeks, you have helped untie a knot that once seemed impossibly tangled, and you deserve kudos for that. But your job isn’t done yet. Your next task is to work on loosening the snarls and smoothing the kinks that still linger in the imaginations of everyone involved.

CANCER June 21-July 22:

In the 1925 silent film The Gold Rush, Charlie Chaplin plays a prospector during the Alaska Gold Rush. After a series of adventures, he finds himself stuck in a remote cabin on Thanksgiving Day with a ruffian named Big Jim. They’re out of food, so Charlie gets resourceful, boiling his right shoe in a big pot and serving it up steaming hot. What the audience doesn’t know is that the movie prop is made of sweet licorice, not leather. So while it may seem that dinner is a hardship, the actors actually had no trouble polishing off their meal. I see a similar scenario in your near future, Cancerian: something like eating a “shoe” that’s made of candy.

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22:

Lots of toddlers in Indonesia smoke cigarettes, not just the chain-smoking 2-year-old in the famous Youtube video (tinyurl.com/SmokerKid). But don’t you dare let your inner child get started on a similar habit any time soon, Gemini. Make sure that sweet young thing is exposed to only the very best influences; feed him or her only the healthiest food, air, water, sounds, sights, images and stories. The innocent, curious, wide-eyed part of you is entering a phase when rapid growth is going to happen, one way or another. It’s your job to guarantee that the growth goes in the right direction.

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22:

“We grow sometimes in one dimension and not in another; unevenly,” wrote Anais Nin. “We are mature in one realm, childish in another.” In you, Virgo, the discrepancies have been especially apparent lately. For example, your brainy insightfulness has been on a hot streak, while your gut wisdom has not. But I suspect this situation to shift in the coming weeks. My reading of the astrological omens suggests that your emotional intelligence is set to thrive. It will be fine if you concentrate on that phenomenon with all your heart, even if it means investing a little less energy in being an analytical whiz.

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22:

In the old Looney Tunes cartoons, Wile E. Coyote is constantly chasing after the Road Runner, a long-legged bird that prefers running to flying. Presumably, Coyote would eat the Road Runner if he ever caught him, but he never does; the bird’s too fast and smart. In one recurring motif, the Road Runner dashes into the entrance of a cave that’s cut into a wall of sheer rock. When Coyote tries to follow

Boulder Weekly

him, he smashes into the rock, and it’s revealed that the cave entrance is just a very realistic painting. I suspect that you’re going to have the Road Runner’s power in the coming week: an ability to find and use doors that are inaccessible to other people.

SCORPIO Oct. 23-Nov. 21:

I recently discovered a blues-gospel artist named Famous L. Renfro, who is also known as “The Flying Sweet Angel of Joy.” His soaring, gritty music had a medicinal effect. It seemed to say to me, “You have the power to change your life in the exact way you want to change your life.” Your assignment, Scorpio, is to find a new source of music or art or literature or film that has a similar effect on you: a flying sweet angel of joy that inspires you to do what has been hard for you to do. According to my reading of the astrological omens, such an influence is within your reach right now.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21:

Your old self is the fuel you will use to burn your old self to the ground. This bonfire will liberate your new self, which has been trapped in a gnarly snarl deep inside your old self. It’s only at first that you’ll feel freaked out by the flames. Very quickly a sense of relief and release will predominate. Then, as the new you makes its way to freedom, escaping its cramped quarters and flexing its vital force, you will be blessed with a foreshadowing of your future. The intoxication that follows will bring you clarity and peace of mind.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19:

“Do we love Heaven more than God?” asks poet Paula Cisewski in her book Ghost Fargo. I think that’s the kind of cryptic question you Capricorns would benefit from mulling over in the coming weeks. Your mind needs to get its customary categories shaken up and rearranged, needs its habitual grooves broken up and diverted, needs its easy certainties flushed and abandoned. Can you think of any other queries that will help you accomplish this noble work? Let me offer a few to get you started: 1. Do we love love itself more than we love the people we say we love? 2. Do we fear failure so much that we interfere with our cultivation of success? 3. Do we obsess on our longing to such a degree that we miss opportunities to satisfy our longing?

AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18:

The Sanskrit word buddhi refers to the part of us that adores the truth. It’s good at distinguishing between what’s real and what’s false and is passionately attracted to liberation. Although it may go into long periods of dormancy in some of us, buddhi never falls asleep completely. It’s always ready to jump into action if we call on it. According to my reading of the astrological omens, Aquarius, the buddhi aspect of your psyche will be extra special, big, strong and bright in the coming week. In my opinion, that’s better than winning the lottery.

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20:

I like how snowboarder Graham Watanabe described his experiences at last February’s Winter Olympics. He wasn’t content with making a generic comment like “It was awesome!” or “No words could describe how great it was!” Instead he got florid and specific: “Try to imagine Pegasus mating with a unicorn and the creature that they birth. I somehow tame it and ride it into the sky in the clouds and sunshine and rainbows. That’s what it feels like.” As you break through your previous limits in the coming weeks, Pisces, I’d love to hear you summon some bursts of articulate jubilation akin to Watanbe’s.

A Safer Way To Medicate

Rather than burning the herb, which produces irritating, toxic, and carcinogenic by-products, a vaporizer heats the material in a vacuum so that the active compounds contained in the plant boil off into a vapor. The vapor contains virtually zero tar and is significantly lower in concentrations of noxious gasses such as carbon monoxide. We carry a full line of vaporizers from all major manufacturers. If you are looking for a safer way to medicate we’ve got you covered
