Deli is a good neighbor The Yellow Deli is the next door neighbor to our store, Farfel’s Farm, and we are fortunate to have gotten to know many of the members of the Twelve Tribes. From our perspective, they walk the talk. They have been kind and considerate during the months that they were constructing the deli, and now that the Yellow Deli is open, their food and service match the incredible interior of their unique space.

They have no shame at producing negative results and offing thousands of underlings, then wheeling in a front-end loader to haul their own pay to the bank. The head man at Estée Lauder, for example, recently cut 2,000 employees but grabbed a huge salary increase and new stock payments worth more than $24 million. Are there no adults to supervise these corporate playgrounds and teach such concepts as humility and sharing?

Now after the collapse, what has changed? Nothing. One survey of nine of the big banks we taxpayers bailed out shows that two-thirds of their failed board members are still there, and, once again, they’re shoveling inexplicably huge bonuses at the same old CEOs.

A better time, a better hero

by Stewart Sallo

nd now, batting fourth for the Twins, playing left field, No. 3, HARMON KILLEBREW.” “And here’s the pitch. Killebrew swings. And there’s a long drive to left field. Back. Back. Way back. It’s gone! Another home run for Harmon Killebrew.” If you know anything about the career of Minnesota Twins Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew, you would probably guess that those were the words of Ray Scott, Herb Carneal or Halsey Hall, the broadcast team that brought Twins games to life on WCCO radio during Harmon the 1960s. Killebrew But, no, those were the words of an imaginative and athletic 8-year-old boy whose family happened to live in St. Louis Park, Minn., a suburb of Minneapolis, in 1961 when the Washington Senators relocated to the Twin Cities and became the Minnesota Twins. Something of a loner, this aspiring young ballplayer spent countless hours in a ballpark that doubled as a front yard, throwing a rubber ball against the gray concrete stairs, fielding the ground balls, catching the pop-ups and throwing out the runners as he played out entire Twins games, pitch by pitch, inning by inning. All of this was done while meticulously and accurately announcing each Twins player as he came to the plate, as well as the players of the team that the Twins happened to be playing that day. When the greatest Twins player, Harmon Killebrew, came to the plate, our 8-year-old announcer understood the need to amplify the volume and enthusiasm that accompanied his hero’s arrival at the bat. And when our 8-year-old pitcher delivered the first pitch to Killebrew, he understood the need to rear back and fire the ball in such a way as to ensure the feared slugger would “hit” the ball as high and as far as any one of the 573 home runs his 6 May 19, 2011

worthy hero would ultimately hit during his storied 22-year career, spanning three decades. Just four days after announcing that he had decided to cease treatment and end his courageous battle with esophageal cancer, Harmon Killebrew died on May 17, 2011, at his home in Scottsdale, Ariz., at the age of 74. While he will always be remembered for a Hall of Fame career that featured his powerful tape-measure home runs, Killebrew’s true legacy is that of a professional athlete who never allowed the fame and adoration with which he was gifted to cause him to forget his humble beginnings or to alter his commitment to conducting himself by the highest set of principles. Harmon Clayton Killebrew was born June 29, 1936, in Payette, Idaho, a small town of some 3,000 residents. In 1954, at the age of 17, he was signed by the thenWashington Senators to a “bonus contract” that paid him $10,000 per year (about $80,000 today, adjusted for inflation). During his career he hit 573 home runs, which at the time of his retirement in 1975 was second only to Babe Ruth in the American League, and the most among right-handed hitters. Killebrew accomplished the feat of hitting 40 or more home runs in a season eight times, a record he shares to this day with Babe Ruth. He was named the American League’s Most Valuable Player in 1969 after hitting 49 home runs and knocking in 140 runs. Killebrew led the American League in home runs six times, was named to the All-Star team 11 times and was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1984. But despite the strength and power that he displayed at the plate, Killebrew exemplified a humble and gentle demeanor that has been all but lost in a modern era of baseball that is rife with ill-behaved, overpaid, egomaniacal athsee HERO Page 7

widespread adoption. Until now. The U.S. currently uses about 3.3 billion barrels of gasoline a year, or 9 million barrels a day. Producing all of it from coal would require about 40 plants each with a 250,000-barrel-a-day output. Shell Oil is currently starting up a 250,000-barrel-a-day plant in Qatar that turns natural gas into fuels and other refined petroleum products. The same technology can be used to make gasoline from coal. The Qatar plant will cost Shell a staggering $19 billion to build, more than four times the amount the company initially estimated it would cost. But according to the trade publication Petroleum Economist, at the present price of oil the Qatar plant will pay for itself in “just over two years,” or in not much more than four years if the price of oil were to collapse to $50 a barrel. Judging from the experience of another gas-to-fuels plant operating in Qatar (one owned by the South African company Sasol that uses older technology), once the plant is paid for the cost of producing a barrel of fuel will be around $25. A few weeks ago I suggested it would make sense for national security reasons for the federal government to pay for the construction of a fleet of synthetic fuel plants. But given the rates of return this

technology is capable of delivering, it shouldn’t be difficult for the government to incentivize its introduction with tax credits and loan guarantees, instead of paying for plants directly. Of course that would require giving subsidies to energy companies instead of cutting them, as the Obama administration and Congress are currently doing. And it would require the Obama administration to find ways of enabling domestic oil, gas and coal production instead of finding ways to stop it — which it has consistently done since it took office. Eliminating oil company tax breaks is a great way for Congressmen to showboat, but as a national energy policy it’s like saying, “The beatings will continue until morale improves.” Don’t count on it bringing down the price of gasoline. The United States is currently fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq (and in several secret wars) because latter-day jihadists have been kept afloat by a river of petro-dollars. The only way of drying up that river is to drive down the price of oil and keep it down by ensuring there is always a surplus of oil on the world market (which is what we actually mean when we talk about “energy independence.”) And the way to do that is to make our own.

QUOTES OF THE WEEK

“I’m going to sit here and I’m going to fight it ’til I can’t fight it no more.” —Glenn Rulf, a resident of Stephensville, La., who placed sandbags around his house to combat rising water from the floodgates that were opened to alleviate the impact of the swollen Mississippi River “Ultimately ... business is my greatest passion, and I am not ready to leave the private sector.” —Donald Trump, saying he is not going to run for president. He added, however, that he would win if he did run. “Gaddafi ruled Libya through fear ... and I think Libyans are losing that fear.” —Luis Moreno-Ocampo, International Criminal Court chief prosecutor, who was seeking arrest warrants for Muammar Gaddafi and members of his family Boulder Weekly

letes. Babe Ruth was a womanizer; Mickey Mantle was an alcoholic; Pete Rose was a gambler; Barry Bonds cheated with steroids. But Harmon Killebrew was the kind of heroic role model that every 8-year-old boy needs and deserves, and when compared to other stand-out ballplayers of any era he rises to the top more assuredly than the 520-foot, upper-deck shot he hit at Metropolitan Stadium on June 3, 1967, a shot that is memorialized at Minneapolis’ Mall of America, where the seat the ball hit still hangs. The passing of Harmon Killebrew is not just a sad day for Twins fans, not just a sad day for baseball, not just a sad day for professional sports, but a sad day for our entire culture. Killebrew was a brand of sports hero that has come and gone from a time gone by. And not just a different time, but a better time. It was a time when professional athletes were more loyal to the team they played for and to the fans of that team than they were to the almighty dollar; a time when an average family could afford to attend a professional sporting event any time they wanted to; a time when ball-

parks were named after the community or the team that played there and not the highest bidder for “naming rights”; a time when the crowd clapped along to familiar tunes played on an organ between innings, rather than being held captive by an offensive commercial message on the Jumbo Tron; a time when you could bring your own food and water into a professional sporting event and didn’t have to submit to being searched upon entry; a time when “The Star-Spangled Banner” was sung true to form and with reverence by a common community member, not as an improvisational performance intended to glorify a celebrity recording artist. It was a time when a 17-year-old kid from a small town in Idaho was happy to play the sport he loved simply for the love of the sport. And it was a time when, at the impressionable age of 8, I wore out the grass in front of the gray, concrete stairs of my boyhood house aspiring to be just like one of the greatest professional sports role models of all time — Harmon Killebrew.

LETTERS from Page 5

Do you believe that corporate entities should be regarded as people and their lobbying money regarded as “speech” protected by the First Amendment? Many don’t think so, and are preparing to introduce a constitutional amendment to clarify that our democracy is not for sale, and that corporate entities, solely focused on financial gain frequently to the detriment of society and surroundings, are not people. (See story, page 13.) “The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them.” —Patrick Henry “It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world. … I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.” —Thomas Jefferson Danice Crawford/Boulder

Videos of factory farming Free press advocates have been outraged recently by bills in the Florida, Iowa and Minnesota legislatures to prohibit possession and display of videos of factory farming. Yet, for the meat, dairy and egg industries that push for these bills, the prohibition makes perfect sense. A year ago, undercover investigators exposed E6 Cattle Co. in Castro County, Texas, chaining dairy calves

in tiny wood crates and bludgeoning their skulls with pickaxes. Last June, Cal-Cruz Hatcheries in Santa Cruz, Calif., were found to grind up and suffocate live chicks. In August, Iowa’s Hillandale Farms and Wright County Eggs were forced to recall 550 million eggs for Salmonella contamination. If I was running one of those operations, I certainly wouldn’t want people with cameras anywhere near my facilities. Filthy conditions and cruel practices are likely to remain legal and commonplace on U.S. factory farms, and their operators will continue to avoid public exposure. Our only option, as consumers, is to stop subsidizing these conditions and practices at the checkout counter by shifting to wholesome, cruelty-free vegetables, fruits and grains, as well as grain- and nut-based meat and dairy substitutes available in every supermarket.

Dog daze It’s curious, the amount of information and coverage we’ve seen seeing over the past week about that dog that was shot by an Erie cop, as opposed to the woman who says she was sexually assaulted by several men in a white sedan on The Hill on May 11. You might wonder if this is misplaced police resources or a product of how much we love our dogs in Boulder County, but it’s probably more a question of available information. Boulder police have been pretty tight-lipped about the sexual assault, saying that the only identifying information on the suspects is that they are males. That really narrows it down. The alleged gang rape occurred in the 900 block of University Avenue between midnight and 1 a.m. A police spokesperson told us this week that investigators want to talk to the woman again, but she has been unavailable. Meanwhile, we’ve been getting all sorts of information on the dog-killing cop, from a past canine shooting incident to the fact that none other than the district attorney is going to look into the incident. And, of course, the grieving dog owner is eager to speak out about what she naturally sees as a travesty. It’s the nature of the journalism business. We pretty much just write down what people say and share it with thousands of you, and if people aren’t talking, there isn’t much we can do, aside from digging through documents. And in sexual assaults, the alleged victim is usually given space, in addition to anonymity, in part so that the media coverage doesn’t have a chilling effect on the reporting of such incidents. (If you thought your name might end up in the paper, you might be hesitant to report that you were raped.) So if you’re wondering why you’ve heard more about a dead dog than a woman who may have been gang-raped, just know that it’s more a case of limited information than misplaced priorities. Schwarzencheater So Arnold “the Sperminator” Schwarzenegger not only cheated on his wife Maria Shriver, but fathered a child with a member of his household staff more than 10 years ago? Now that’s a suspenseful ending. We just can’t help but wonder how many other adulterous elected officials and movie stars are out there, quietly sweating. Surely some are better at keeping a secret than keeping their dick in their pants. But when you’re in the spotlight, it’s only a question of time before people start talking. In addition to feeling bad for Maria and his legitimate kids, we feel for the lovechild, who now has to live with being the product of this union. His dad isn’t who he thought he was. Instead, he’s Conan, Mr. Universe, the governator. Arnold was going commando and generating some red heat with his mom. And then he totally failed to have recall for a decade. It was true, the lies. Maria got a raw deal from this predator. OK, we’ll stop. Fat fine It’s no secret that obesity has been associated with a host of medical problems. So now the state of Arizona is considering charging fat people on Medicaid $50 a year. It’s kind of like increasing taxes on cigarettes, but different. People who have children or who are overweight due to a medical condition would be exempted, but still. This is beginning to be a slippery slope. And we are reminded of one of the messages in the film Food Inc. — that some of the cheapest, mass-produced foods are also some of the worst for you healthwise. Poor people can’t afford the organic department at the supermarket and opt instead for a burger off the Dollar Menu. So this Arizona plan could hit the pocketbooks of those who need that pinch the least. The obesity problem is not going to be solved by a $50 fine, but by things like educating our kids about healthy eating, organized efforts to stop patronizing the likes of McDonald’s and rewarding healthy people with lower insurance rates.

Bike-sharing program launches in Boulder by Elizabeth Miller

new fleet of bicycles will take to Boulder’s streets on May 20 — shiny, red bikes equipped with baskets and bells — as part of a program designed to make it easier for residents and visitors to make quick trips by bicycle around town. Boulder B-cycle, a bike-sharing program, allows would-be cyclists to purchase an annual ($50), weekly ($15), or 24-hour ($5) membership, then check out a bike for hourly use. “With each of those memberships, each of those levels, every ride you take under an hour is free,” says Elizabeth Train, Boulder B-cycle’s director of community engagement. “You can ride all day, if you ride for an hour, dock it, take a new bike, and ride for an hour.” It is designed to be convenient for running short errands around town connecting between transit stations. The national B-cycle company provides the equipment and software, but the bike-share program will be run by a local nonprofit. Denver B-cycle’s program, which launched in April 2010, was supported by a donation from the Democratic National Convention. “Every city that has launched a bike share program in the United States has started with a very large either federal grant, a grant like this one through the DNC, and sometimes in addition a huge amount of money from a presenting sponsor,” Train says. “In Boulder, we didn’t have that. We didn’t have a huge federal grant to start with, and we didn’t have a major corporation behind us, because we’re just a little bit too small to attract that kind of investment from a big corporation. So we had to do a huge community fundraising initiative in order to get our nut to start with.” The city of Boulder lined up grants, local businesses sponsored baskets and stations (which bear the names of their sponsors), and individuals stepped in to provide funding. Twelve stations are ready, and Train says another six stations will open by the end of the summer. “We’ve gotten a lot of folks who say, ‘Well, everyone in Boulder already has a bike,’ but these bikes are just so convenient and so secure,” Train says. “When Boulder Weekly

you’ve come to town and you don’t have your bike, you’ve driven your car or you’ve taken the bus, these are just a really great way to get around town for short trips to lunch, errands, that kind of thing. … You can park your car one time and then use a bike for all the short trips you need to take during the day.” The B-cycle program could ease some of the hassle for commuters who travel between Denver and Boulder; the B-cycle programs in each city are expected to establish reciprocity between their systems by July 1. Boulder members will be able to walk right up to a Denver station and borrow a bike without buying another membership. Beware, though — Boulder allows an hour of riding free, while Denver B-cycle gives just 30 minutes before charging per-hour rates. B-cycle “street team” members will be riding around the city in the coming weeks, checking out and returning bikes, educating people about the system. “We’re very excited to be a part of all of this because we support all access to downtown through our division, not just parking, so this helps provide another option for our downtown employees and customers,” says Donna Jobert, financial manager for Downtown and University Hill Parking Services, which is sponsoring a station at 15th and Pearl. “We’re the smallest city that has launched a bike share program, so it’s going to be very interesting to see how well it’s going to be supported in this community.” Boulder also ranks with Portland, Ore., and Davis, Calif., as a top city for bicycling, according to the League of American Bicyclists — making it a big deal in the bicycle world, Jobert added. “We are one of three platinum-level bicycle cities in the United States, so this is one of those things we should be doing as one of those platinum-level cities,” she says. “Not just to sit back on what we’ve achieved, but to be better and better.” The B-cycle launch party is from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on May 19 at Design Within Reach. The launch ride starts assembling at 8 a.m. May 20. Registration is required. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

ism education is as important as it ever was to try and make good, solid journalists stand out from all the cacophony of voices that are out there. I don’t understand the argument that journalism education is somehow not as necessary. I understand that we can’t teach the same way we used to many years ago, because the world has changed. But I think if we change with it, there is still plenty of room for good, solid journalism education.” Heider says that despite early indications that it might be the end of the road for the J school, following the money may reveal a different intent in the regents’ action. “University officials have described it as a transition step towards a new college of some sort that would be more broadbased,” Heider says. “And so I think if that’s the case, this could be a very good thing. Alumni will be watching this very carefully over the next year or two to make sure that the university president and the regents do just that.” While the school is closing, its assets, including the budget and staff, are expected to be temporarily transferred to Graduate School in the provost’s office, which Heider says is a good sign. “If, indeed, it was just going to be forevermore a joint program in arts and sciences, all the faculty would be in the College of Arts and Sciences, all the budget would be in arts and sciences. They’ve decided not to do that,” Heider says. “So the fact that everything has been transferred to the Graduate School, from an administrative viewpoint, it’s a very interesting move, because what it tells people on the inside and the outside is they really are putting it on hold until they figure out what the next step is.” Heider holds out hope. “Change doesn’t come easily to places, and there seemed to be an impasse [at CU] among some of the faculty for many years. Sometimes it takes something extraordinary for change to occur,” Heider says. “This is extraordinary, and worrisome in many ways — but if it brings about something stronger and better for students, then it could ultimately could be a good thing.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Summer Scene 2011 Spotlight

wo successful former faculty members of the University of Colorado’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication (SJMC) are questioning the motives behind the recent effort to discontinue the school. After months of faculty study and administrative recommendations, the Board of Regents voted this spring to turn the journalism school into a department and transition it into a new “Journalism Plus” program, in which students pursue a second major in addition to journalism. SJMC alumni and former faculty members Don Heider and Lee Hood have been watching the process carefully. Heider began teaching broadcast journalism at the SJMC in 1992, and a year later started working towards his Ph.D. in journalism, completing it in 1997. In 2008, Heider left his CU faculty job to become the founding dean of Loyola’s School of Communication. Lee Hood, who taught at the SJMC for more than 16 years, also left CU for Loyola. Heider says he is at a loss for why the closing was even a possibility, much less a reality. While the official reasoning included problems within the school and the changing nature of journalism, Heider suspects that budget cuts and political reasons are to blame. “I read the report from the [program discontinuance] committee, and I thought it was, honestly, patently absurd,” Heider says. “I felt like it wasn’t a fair assessment of what has been going on in the school in the last 25 years. It’s really disturbing, and it seems to be politically motivated from within the university and isn’t in the best interests of the students or alumni.” Hood seems to agree with Heider — she says she felt that the idea of closing the school was a hasty move in the changing environment of journalism. Simply adapting to the new environment might be a smarter move, she says, considering the importance journalism plays in both democracy and free speech. “I firmly believe that there is a really important role for journalism communication in the new media atmosphere,” Hood says. “I really think that journal-

A NATIONAL initiative to reverse the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision — which some say gave corporations a blank check to buy elections — is coming to Boulder. A City Council member wants to place a referendum for the effort on the local ballot, and a former Green Party presidential candidate will be in Boulder and other Colorado cities this week to stump for the initiative. In Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the Supreme Court ruled on Jan. 21, 2010, that the First Amendment prohibits limits on corporate funding of political broadcasts in candidate elections. The decision struck down a provision of the 2002 McCain-Feingold Act that kept corporations from airing campaign broadcasts about a candidate within a certain number of days before an election. In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court said that prohibiting the group Citizens United from broadcasting an anti-Hillary Clinton TV ad just before the 2008 primary was contrary to the First Amendment. The justification was, in part, that the First Amendment not only prohibits punishing citizens for political speech, but “associations of citizens,” like corporations. The decision prompted an outcry from some who said it equated money with free speech and gave companies carte blanche to outspend the competition on ads for their favored candidates, skewing the democratic process even more toward the corporate elite. **** A national group called Move to Amend is mobilizing to reverse the decision, even if it requires amending the U.S. Constitution. And this week, City Council member Macon Cowles called on the city’s leaders to place a referendum supporting that initiative on the ballot. “Many people in our town support the Move to Amend the U.S. Constitution as the most promising way to reign in corporate power and the effect of billions of dollars of corporate money every election cycle that is put into moving a corporate agenda in the Boulder Weekly

Congress and the states,” Cowles wrote in an email to council. He told Boulder Weekly that the referendum will likely be scheduled for council discussion before the end of June. His proposed resolution reads, “Resolved, the People of the City of Boulder, Colorado, call for reclaiming democracy from the corrupting effects of undue corporate and monetary influence by amending the United States Constitution to: 1. abolish corporate personhood and prohibit the granting of Constitutional rights to any entity other than a human being; and to 2. clarify that the expenditure of money is not Constitutionally protected free speech so that money spent to influence elections can be subject to reasonable regulation to promote equal protection under the law for all human citizens.” **** David Cobb, the Green Party’s 2004 candidate for president, is a primary spokesperson for Move to Amend and sits on the initiative’s seven-member executive committee. He will be speaking on “Creating Democracy and Challenging Corporate Rule” in several Colorado cities this week, including a Boulder appearance on Saturday, May 21, at 2 p.m. at the Boulder Unity Church, 2855 Folsom St. Cobb told Boulder Weekly that the Citizens United decision is “just the latest, most egregious example of a legal system that is not actually promoting justice, not actually promoting the ability of ‘we the people’ to govern ourselves.” Cobb notes that the Declaration of Independence refers to “unalienable rights” afforded to individuals, and says rights such as freedom of speech cannot be transferred to corporations. A corporation is a creation of government, like

the state that issues its charter, Cobb says, and the idea that it should be treated the same way as those who created it is wrong. Cobb advocates going beyond the court system and effecting change on cultural, political and economic fronts. Besides, he says, the courts have been wrong before. “This is the same court that once said laws preventing women from voting are OK,” he points out. “This is the same court that said Jim Crow segregation laws are OK. This is the same court that said laws saying Native American Indians were not human beings were OK. There any number of ways we can show that the courts have been profoundly wrong, and they are wrong again. “We can’t let them, in this slavish devotion to corporate ideology, tell us we don’t have the right to protect the environment or the integrity of our elections,” he says. “If we frame it that way, we can capture the spirit and joyful resistance that prior movements have done. They can either get on the right side of history or be replaced.” **** Cobb applies a similar analogy to the increasingly centralized and corporate media. He refers to Boulder Weekly and other independent news sources as “the people’s media,” adding that it’s a shame the term “alternative” is applied to such outlets, because it means they are increasingly in the minority. “You know how low we are sinking when you allow ever fewer wealthy people to control ever more of the media institutions — they get the power to shape culture,” Cobb says, adding that his movement relies on independent media. “We know that Fox News and big corporate dailies are, in fact, ever more propaganda arms for Wall Street. So we need relations with genuine, independent media.” He says a tangible example of the effect the Citizens United decision has already had on our elections is that the Chamber of Commerce spent a record amount on the last election and wasn’t required to disclose where that money came from, even though contributors could well have included foreign corpo-

rations. Cobb recommends OpenSecrets.org as a valuable resource for determining which industries are contributing money to candidates. He even identifies an unlikely ally in the Move to Amend initiative: the Tea Party. Both groups are mad, for example, that the major banks nearly destroyed the country’s economy and have since been rewarded, Cobb says. “We’re hopeful to reach across ideologies,” he explains, “and find common ground.” **** Cobb discusses the three possible ways Move to Amend can reverse the Citizens United decision, from convincing two-thirds of our congressional representatives to approve an amendment to the Constitution (it would then go to the states for ratification) to triggering a Constitutional Convention with support from two-thirds of the states. Finally, he says, if subjected to enough cultural pressure, the Supreme Court could reverse itself, as it did in Brown v. Board of Education to outlaw Jim Crow laws. Move to Amend has collected more than 11,700 signatures online for a constitutional amendment that would: • Firmly establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights. • Guarantee the right to vote and to participate — and to have our vote and participation count. • Protect local communities, their economies and democracies against illegitimate “preemption” actions by global, national and state governments. Cobb describes this as a watershed moment in the country’s history. “This moment in time is a democracy crisis, so what we need is a democratic movement, much like what is happening across the Middle East, Latin America and Central America,” he says. “We need to start taking ourselves seriously as ‘we the people,’ actually having the sovereign right, and dare I say sacred responsibility, for creating a just, compassionate society. If we start to think that way, we can change reality.” More information is available at movetoamend.org. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com May 19, 2011 13

SINGER/SONGWRITER

Bruce Cockburn can’t sit still. The celebrated Canadian musician has spent the last 41 years tackling politics, injustice and the euphoric joys and exacerbating nature of humanness in songs laced with spiritual conviction, honest reflection and his signature biting commentary. Cockburn’s 31st album, Small Source of Comfort, was released in March, and neither his reflective nature nor his work ethic show any signs of abating. He has been engaged in the disc’s supporting tour, backed by violinist/ vocalist Jenny Scheinman — who doubles as the opening act — and percussionist/drummer Gary Craig. There’s no bassist, Cockburn is using mostly acoustic guitars, and the drum set is not what one would envision — it’s a stripped-down, engaging sound. Small Source of Comfort certainly did not start as the Boulder Weekly

type of album that would have comfortably adapted itself to such touring simplicity. Cockburn’s original vision for its sound involved plenty of distorted guitars and a loud, bombastic direction with some dissonance thrown into the mix. But circumstances did not allow his vision to come to fruition. “I guess I could have forced the issue, but it didn’t seem like a good idea,” he says. “Basically, through that period of time, my girlfriend moved to New York, lived there for five years and then moved back to San Francisco, where she had been living before that. So I was spending a lot of time in Brooklyn. If I had been at my house, I could have cranked everything up and it probably would have been that kind of album, but [I] can’t really pursue that sort of stuff.

loud and electric. I did that in the ’60s, but to develop a kind of approach to songwriting and using that sort of vibe requires some work, and it just wasn’t in the cards.” Small Source of Comfort is more suited to botanic gardens, wine sipping and beautiful sunsets, but it works just like the other quiet moments in Cockburn’s surprisingly varied discography. Producer Colin Linden, a frequent pick for Cockburn, recorded at a studio in Nashville and at the Bathouse, a residential studio in Ontario, Canada, owned by popular Canadian band The Tragically Hip. While Cockburn’s house was minutes away from the Bathouse, everyone else boarded at the studio. “It was very relaxed and nobody was going anywhere,” he says. “Nobody had to rush anywhere. You just sort of roll out of bed, get fed and then you’d start recording.” There’s the gentle instrumental “Lois on the Autobahn,” titled after Cockburn’s late mother, and the driving rhythm of “The Iris of the World,” but perhaps the best song on Small Source of Comfort is “Call Me Rose, ” a composition that formulated in Cockburn’s head while he was sleeping. “It was a little bit of work, but mostly it was unlike anything else in that I woke up and the whole song was there in my head.” Cockburn says. “That’s never quite happened in exactly that way before.” The song asks what would be required to rehabilitate not just Richard Nixon’s image, but his soul. When Cockburn sings the opening line, “My name was Richard Nixon, only now I’m a girl,” one cannot help smiling and listening to what comes next. “Where did that first line come from?” Cockburn

says with a laugh. “I don’t know. My theory is that it had to do with some deep psychological issues around power and me, but expressed through language that was provided by the Bush administration’s brief attempt a few years ago to rehabilitate the image of Richard Nixon. There’s some sort of association there, but I was not really clear on what it is.” While “Call Me Rose” is a serious composition, irrespective of its opening line, the purposefully humorous “Called Me Back” is anything but. Its slightly comical, somewhat cacophonous, back-porch musical accompaniment fits perfectly. Simply put, Cockburn had a friend that never returned a phone call. “It just was funny because it’s based on a real episode which has been repeated a thousand-fold by other people in my life,” he says. “You call somebody, try and get a hold of them, and they don’t call you back and they don’t call you back. You call them again and they don’t call you back, and eventually they do or there’s some communication, but in the end there’s usually a good reason why the response wasn’t there. “It just seems like such a common thing and it’s annoying. It’s like, ‘I should write a song about that — this one particular time that it happened’ — and so I

did. It’s the kind of topic that’s not really worth a serious song at all anyway, but it’s just one of those little cartoons of life.” Cockburn, who turns 66 on May 27 — the same day he performs at Boulder’s Chautauqua Auditorium — is as reflective on his long career as he is on explaining his newer songs, humorous or otherwise. His wry sense of humor and gentle demeanor are present, but it’s his prevailing honesty that guides the way. Perhaps it’s from so many years of honest, heartfelt artistic expression; maybe it’s having a daughter and two grandchildren he’s rarely able to see because of distance and his schedule; or maybe it’s simply a sense of life that comes with age and experience. In the end, maybe it’s a combination of everything. “It’s weird because sometimes it feels like I’ve been doing this a really long time, and other times it just feels like I’m barely getting started,” Cockburn says. “I guess that’s just the way it is for everybody who reaches a certain age. The shape of your life assumes a different perspective when you start approaching the end of it, even though the day after you’re born could be the end of it, but [you] don’t think about that until you have to. Of course once you start getting older you have to — your friends start dying or you’re having crises and you have to notice that. “If I went back and tried to remember all the things that happened over those years — I don’t know if I’d like to do that, but there’d be [some] neat stuff in there. There’d be some things that were great from the point of view of creating songs out of the angst that they produced, but I’d rather live with the songs than the memories of some of the stuff that happened.” Respond:letters@boulderweekly.com

Music for musicians

Artists’ passion drives MahlerFest, and audiences still support it

Keith Bobo

wenty-four years ago, Robert Olson went for a walk at the Dillon Reservoir. His wife was in a rehearsal at the Breckenridge Music Festival, so he took a book along. It was a biography of the composer Gustav Mahler, and by the end of the day Olson had had a crazy idea that is still paying off for music lovers in Boulder and around the world: He would start an annual festival devoted to Mahler’s music. The obstacles were obvious. Mahler’s music requires very large orchestras and often a chorus. It is extremely challenging to the players and the conductor, and it has a limited, if devoted, audience of its own. Nobody had ever attempted anything like it. “I went back and picked up my wife and said, ‘Guess what I’m going to do?’” Olson recalls. “She just looked at me like, ‘You’re kidding!’” He wasn’t. The first Colorado MahlerFest took place in Boulder the next year, with a budget of $431. In the 23 intervening years the event has gotten a bit more lavish — this year’s budget is about $65,000 — but the format has stayed the same. There is always a song recital or other chamber event, a symposium and a concluding concert featuring one of the symphonies (played more or less in order, 1 through 10, in recurring cycles). The culmination of MahlerFest XXIV, according to its website, will be at Macky Auditorium on Saturday, May 21, and Sunday, May 22, with performances of the Fifth Symphony and the little-known Entr’acte from Die Drei Pintos, an opera by Karl Maria von Weber that Mahler completed and performed in 1888. (See the complete schedule at www. mahlerfest.org/MF24/mf24.html.) While audiences have flocked to the Mahler Festival from around the country and the world, they were not the primary inspiration for the festival.

Robert Olson

“It was obvious to me that good musicians will sometimes go to great lengths to be part of a really great musical experience,” Olson says. “Back then [1987], the only Mahler symphonies that orchestras other than full-time professional orchestras played were 1, 4 and sometimes 2. So people like myself and plenty of my friends, who I knew wanted to be part of a Mahler symphony experience, simply didn’t have the opportunity. So I thought, why not, and that was the inspiration.” The first festival was so successful that a year later, when Olson needed a larger orchestra and a chorus, he had no trouble filling the roster. “Much to my surprise, when I sent out the letter to the people who had played the first year, and any other musicians I knew, I had to turn down people!” Like the players, audiences embraced MahlerFest

from the beginning. And why not, Olson asks. “I always say ‘What’s there not to possibly love, for goodness sake?’ Look at his music. It’s either drop-dead gorgeous melodies, or it’s a march — I mean, who doesn’t love a march? Or it’s folk music. Or it’s the kind of climactic music that was stolen by the movie music composers! What’s there not to love?” As for the featured piece this weekend, Mahler’s Fifth Symphony, “the whole piece is a journey of joyous celebration,” Olson says. “It’s a piece that, like all of Mahler, is highly emotional. It starts off with a funeral march, and ends up not only with a love song to his wife, but a song of great joy and great happiness and great love. So it’s an emotional journey that Mahler takes that we can all relate to very intimately.” The Fifth Symphony, composed in 1901-02, stands at a turning point among Mahler’s 10 symphonies. It marks a return to the more traditional, purely instrumental symphony, after three symphonies that called for voices. It is also at the beginning of a more complex style than the first four symphonies, characterized by a more extensive use of counterpoint. (Listen particularly to the final movement.) Interestingly, for this festival the Fifth Symphony will be paired with an earlier, and much simpler piece in the Entr’acte for Weber’s Die Drei Pintos. The juxtaposition will make it easy for listeners to observe the stylistic difference between the simpler, more folk-like Entr’acte and the more complex, contrapuntal symphony. But with Mahler, rather than being analytical, most listeners prefer to just sit back and relish what Olson calls the “emotional journey of joyous celebration.” Once you get it, he adds, “you’re hooked for life.” Respond:letters@boulderweekly.com

The pleasures of being a professional innovator Warren Haynes keeps moving with ‘Man In Motion’

by Chris Parker

arren Haynes is hardly an unknown quantity. The last two decades he’s gotten around enough to take over for Verizon’s “Can you hear me now?” guy. Playing with the Allman Brothers, Gov’t Mule and the post-Jerry Garcia Dead, Haynes has established him- Stewart O’Shields self as one of the finest improvisational rock guitarists alive today. But his palette extends beyond jambased blues-rock, as he demonstrates with his new solo album, Man in Motion. The soul-drenched effort is only Haynes’ second solo album, arriving 18 years after his 1993 debut, Tales of Ordinary Madness. It came a year before Gov’t Mule started and the reformed Allman Brothers released their first disc, 1994’s Where It All Begins, launching Haynes on a nearly non-stop touring regimen. That’s one reason for the long break between solo discs. Now that Gov’t Mule is taking a well-deserved break, there was finally some time in Haynes’ schedule. “Gov’t Mule has made a lot of studio records since then, a lot of touring, and same thing with the Allman Brothers,” says Haynes at soundcheck for a show in New York City, which he has called home the last 20 years. “Solo records are more something I feel like doing every now and then. I’m much more content to be in a band. Having written a bunch of songs that seemed to work well together but aren’t Gov’t Mule songs and didn’t seem like Allman Brothers songs, it seemed like now was the right time.”

Fans of his other bands will find plenty to enjoy with Man In Motion. The seven-minute “Sick of My Shadow” works a thick, slinky groove with help from keyboardists Ivan Neville and Ian McLagan. “Hattiesburg Hustle” embarks on a swampy blues amble, and “On a Real Lonely Night” emanates a supple blues funk long on both bluesy ache and funky swing. But there are surprises as well, from the jazzy vibe of the title track and the gospeltinged ballad “Everyday Will Be Like a Holiday.” Indeed, the entire effort has a gospel/ soul flavor that sounds like it was brewed in Muscle Shoals, though Haynes explains the style’s actually a more wide-ranging touchstone that goes back to his youth. “All the great soul music, whether it came from Memphis, Muscle Shoals, Motown, whatever the case may be, I was influenced by all of it. Gospel music precedes that music. All that music was born out of black gospel music, and the first sound that ever made the hair on my arms stand up, when I was only 5 or 6 years old, was black gospel on the radio on Sunday in North Carolina, where I grew up,” he says. The album came together relatively quickly, and was finished in six days. Haynes says he was looking for a fresh, live-in-the-studio feel that has the same loose, unpremeditated feel of his bands’ performances. He made a dream-team list and was able to get everyone he wanted — the Meters’ bassist George Porter, Jr., New Orleans session drummer Ray Weber, sax player Ron Holloway and Neville.

McLagan joined a week before recording began, at Austin producer Gordie Johnson’s suggestion, helping them mine for a twin keyboardist sound like that of The Band’s Richard Manuel and Garth Hudson, according to Haynes. He credits much of the album’s old fashioned, back-in-time feel to Johnson’s production. “The most important thing was to make a record that didn’t sound like it had a date stamped on it. This record — in large part thanks to Gordie Johnson — sounds like it could’ve been recorded anytime over the last 40 years, and I love that,” Haynes says. The turning point in his career took place when he was only 19, when country star David Allan Coe tabbed him to be his band’s lead guitarist. Coe was at a high water mark in his career, and Haynes played on three albums. Not only was it a “baptism by fire,” as he describes it, but it afforded him an opportunity to meet a lot of other musicians, including Gregg Allman and Dickie Betts, who several years later would ask him to help restart the Allman Brothers. Along the way he’s learned a thing or two about playing guitar. “The longer you play, especially in the live setting, [the more you learn] how to listen to all the other musicians on stage or in the studio when you’re improvising, and how to become part of this tapestry,” he says. “It’s very important to leave plenty of space for the rest of the music and to allow all the other instruments to complete your sentences. And that’s something you get better with the more you do it.” The ever-evolving nature of the songs and stage performances helps keep it vibrant and rewarding, something he thanks the fans for. “If musicians have a complaint it would be that they get trapped doing the same sort of thing too much,” he says. “Thankfully we have an amazing audience that encourages us and inspires us to take it wherever we want to go from a musical standpoint, and that’s something that not a lot of people can say.” Respond:letters@boulderweekly.com

Denver-born comedian T.J. Miller returns for comedy special

by Quibian Salazar-Moreno

t was just a few years ago that comedian and actor T.J. Miller was pounding the pavement seven days a week doing standup routines at Chicago comedy clubs and touring with comedy troupes. He was paying his dues, as most entertainers do at some point in their lives, when he got a call for an audition. “I went and auditioned for this teen comedy by this director I never heard of, so it wasn’t such a big deal,” Miller says. “But then they wouldn’t tell us what the movie was about and it ended up being [the J.J. Abrams-produced film] Cloverfield.” Miller played the character Hud; the wisecracking 20-something that held the camcorder for most of the movie. Although you barely saw his face during the film, Miller’s quips and one-liners during the movie became quotables for fans. The film was a success at the box office and became a cult favorite among sci-fi fans. At the same time, he had a starring role on the 200708 ABC sitcom Carpoolers as the goofy, Napoleon Dynamite-ish son Marmaduke. “From then it just started, kept booking movies and doing TV here and there,” he says. “In 2010 I did, like, eight studio films or something. I did more movies in 2010 than anybody else.” Miller grew up in central Denver and attended East High School, where he was drawn to the drama and acting programs. He loved performing the comedic parts of the plays but really didn’t see it as a career path. It wasn’t until he went to college at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., to study psychology that he realized that he could go into a performancedriven career. “I got into the drama program at GWU, and it was great,” he says. “Everybody was funny, and none of them were actors. So that was the first time I was like, ‘Oh you can be a comedian and not be just an actor.’ So I

did comedy through college, and then I went to Chicago and was there for four years. I studied, toured and worked for Second City, and I would do stand-up seven nights a week, sometimes twice a night, nonstop for four years. I never took a night off.” With the TV show Carpoolers and the film Cloverfield, Miller was able to get a foothold in Hollywood and scored a role in the Jeremy Piven-led film The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard, a prominent sidekick role in She’s Out of My League, and the voice behind Tuffnut in the animated film How To Train Your Dragon. He was also in Unstoppable with Denzel Washington, Gulliver’s Travels with Jack Black and Get Him to the Greek with Russell Brand, and he played Ranger Jones in the recent Yogi Bear film. Now Miller is heading back to his roots. In between doing voiceover work for How to Train Your Dragon 2, a new film called Our Idiot Brother with Paul Rudd, plus a 40-track comedy, pop, hip-hop album called The Extended Play EP, Miller will be filming a Comedy Central standup special on Saturday, May 21, at the Boulder Theater. It’s a free show anyone can attend (get

tickets at www.theblacklistnyc.com/tjmiller). “Stand-up is just a different medium of comedy than a film act or a television act,” Miller says. “Stand-up comedy is the most autonomous of the art forms, so that can be rewarding, but it’s also very challenging. There’s no one to blame but yourself if it isn’t going very well.” It was important for Miller to come home to the Mile High City to film the special. “This is my first one-hour special, and I wanted to do it in Denver. We couldn’t make any theaters in Denver work for where I am in my career, and what I wanted to do with my special,” he says. “Then we looked at the Boulder Theater to produce the special, and it was the perfect place. Boulder and Denver are the coolest cities in Colorado. And Boulder has such a different aesthetic. It’s almost a cross between a granola and California feel, and I’ve become more of a West Coast type of comedian since moving to Los Angeles. It’s a laid-back lifestyle and pretty open about drug use and drinking but has an intellectual edge to it. I’m better with smarter audiences that are open to absurdity and silliness, and I found Denver being one of the best audiences I’ve ever played for.” But sometimes it doesn’t go very well. Miller says that he probably gets more hecklers at his shows than any other comedian. “I improvise a lot on stage. I ask the audience questions, and I guess I have the type of personality where it feels like it’s OK to yell things at me,” he says. “Drunks yell stuff at me. Fans yell stuff from the movies. That’s what people do at my shows. I rarely do a show where someone isn’t disruptive.” But he’s always prepared to deal with the rudeness. “I’m not particularly mean unless they won’t be quiet or they’re mean,” Miller says. “Sometimes people can be mean because they’re mean people in the world. So if they’re mean, I will verbally ruin their lives!” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

eam Evergreen’s Triple Bypass is a 120-mile road bike ride that defines “epic.” It’s more than 10,000 feet of elevation gain over three of Colorado’s highest paved passes: Squaw (11,140 feet), Loveland (11,990 feet) and Vail (10,560 feet). There’s even the bonus elevation of Swan Mountain Road. While not an official pass, Swan Mountain still climbs to 9,388 feet. The strange thing about this veritable lung-busting tour is how quickly

the event fills up. The July 9 running of the classic westward route from Evergreen to Avon is already filled to capacity, with a whopping 3,500 entries. That’s roughly 7,000 individual lungs (we assume) burning in the thin air, cruising for glory and bragging rights. (Triple Bypass events are rides, not races.) The good news, if you’re up for a little suffering and a lot of

DETAILS

The Triple Bypass rides will happen July 9-10, starting in Evergreen on July 9 (West Route) and Avon July 10 (East and Double Triple routes). Cost is $150 per rider for the remaining open slots on the West-East Triple Bypass. (Normal costs are $150 for both the East and West rides and $275 for the Double Triple). All riders will receive a jersey for their participation. Ride is fully supported with mechanics, aid stations, support vehicles and a Colorado-style post-race barbeque.

BYPASS from Page 29

incredible mountain scenery, is that there are now two alternatives to be part of all the quad-fizzling fun. New options for 2011 An experimental new ride for this year is the Double Triple Bypass. The Double Triple takes two days to ride the entire course as a huge, 240-mile, out-and-back ride that equates to more than 20,000 feet of climbing in less than 48 hours. Being in Colorado, where our cyclists are cut from a different swath of lycra, of course there was a rabid waitlist, and the event filled to capacity at 500 riders. Registration for the Double Triple is now closed. The second new ride, which as of press time still has a few precious openings, is the East Triple Bypass, which simply takes the course from Avon to Evergreen and runs on Sunday, July 10. It’s the same terrain as the classic, but backwards, so you’re going to get all the same heart-pumping thrills as you cruise into the morning sunrise. With a total rider capacity of 2,500, the inaugural eastbound route is sure to gain in popularity once cyclists are aware they have yet another outlet to spend more time in the saddle. As Team Evergreen expands its marquee event to accommodate more than 6,000 riders, it’s safe to say the Triple Bypass has become one of Colorado’s flagship cycling events. You can sign up for the East Triple Bypass by visiting the official Team Evergreen Triple Bypass web page at www. teamevergreen.org/triple.

A history of burly rides The 23-year history of the Triple Bypass begins in 1988, when a small group of 300 cyclists started what was then called the Rocky Mountain Century. As the event evolved, it adopted its clever moniker and became a yearly tradition in the high peaks. And being a mountain ride, there have been years when rain, sleet and even snow has been part of the ambiance. Of course, there are also crystal-clear, bluebell days when nary a cloud casts a shadow on the entire route. The unpredictability is part of the fun! Because the event is not officially timed, there are no concrete results, but cyclists can expect to spend anywhere between eight and 12 hours on the bike. It is highly encouraged to spend time cranking out miles at altitude before the day of the race (the 7,900foot climb up Mount Evans is a noted training ride). If you are riding from Boulder, a trip up Left Hand Canyon to Ward then down to Lyons — and repeat — is close to mimicking the elevation gain and distance. And if you have friends coming to do the ride from out of town, let them know that losing a few dozen brains cells from the lack of oxygen are acceptable losses for flatlanders. Race day mentality Gearing up for any century ride is as much mental as it is physical. Even though the listed start time is 6 a.m. both days, it’s not unusual for riders to begin their ride at their own time, usually no later than 7:30 a.m. The climb up the trio of mountain passes is a

‘Wilderness First Aid Field Guide’ is a must-have by Emilie Lucchesi

here are many outdoor activities that require education and certification. Scuba divers, for example, must train indoors under an instructor’s supervision before hitting the open water. Or to legally drive a motorcycle, riders must pass a driving test and receive a special license. But there aren’t any requirements regarding hiking, camping or heading into the deep wild for sport. Campers don’t need a certification or even a license to pitch a tent and spend the night under the stars. At most, some campgrounds require a permit, which is more about paying admission than learning the basics.

combination of grueling effort, enchanting scenery and trance-like hypnotism. Aid stations are wellstocked, and it’s encouraged to fuel up as much as possible, as riders will be burning a ridiculous amount of calories — 5,000-plus for some folks. A good training program is encouraged starting six months in advance, but if you are a fairly active person, a few weeks of sincere training should see you through the entire 120-mile course.

Novices planning an outdoor excursion may want to bring an emergency field guide that identifies common emergencies and lists procedures to follow. The Wilderness First Aid Field Guide, by Alton and Steven Thygerson, describes how to signal for help, what essentials to pack, and includes an A-to-Z list of sudden illnesses and emergencies. The list details when a person should be treated on-site or evacuated immediately. Published in 2010 by Jones & Bartlett Publishers, it is $22.95 and is available from Amazon.com or Borders.com —MCT Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

And perhaps that’s the beauty of the Triple Bypass: It’s an epic feather in the cap for anyone with the desire to put in the miles and time. While there are certainly elite riders who participate, the scope of success falls within the frame of an “everyman” goal. There’s still time if you want to push yourself and join in the fun of Colorado’s most hearty — pun intended — cycling tour. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

Boulder celebrates American Craft Beer Week Local breweries and restaurants hold special events

by Sara Kassabian Courtesy of Avery Brewing Company

merican Craft Beer Week has found a home in cities nationwide, but Boulder remains the hoppy heartland for those who want a little more sophistication with their brews. The Boulder-based Brewers Association is a microbrewery trade group dedicated to promoting the relevance of craft beer as an industry and beverage. The organization is promoting the fifth annual American Craft Beer week, held May 16 to May 22. “With the excitement around craft beer, Boulder is very proud of the local breweries and the success that they’ve had, just being the producer of a prodCraft beer lovers unwind over brews in Avery Brewing uct the people really love and enjoy,” Company’s tap room. says Andy Sparhawk of the Brewers Association. “This week is a just a great way to recognize that and celebrate that.” Asher Brewery fans can look forward to a dollar The association’s Boulder location places it alongoff their pints all week if they come in wearing brandside many craft breweries that have helped cultivate ed gear.

The etymology of the name is Greek, meaning “missing the tip of your finger.” The beer is named after Fred Rizzo, a butcher-turned-brewer who lost the tip of his finger before joining the Avery Brewing Company. Naming a brew in tribute to an employee marks the communal nature of craft breweries and the social culture that exists around this type of beer. “Socially, what better way is there to kind of connect with friends than to go out to a local brewpub or craft brewery and eat over a good beer after work?” Howe says. “We try to foster that community feeling in our taproom here and also within the walls of our own brewery. We like to think of ourselves as a community that gets along really well. Our taproom is such a great place to socialize and connect with people.” With its layers of flavor and narrative origins of development, craft beer instigates conversation and builds community in taprooms and restaurants. Giving back to the local community is something Asher Brewing Company devotes itself to financially, donating 10 percent of proceeds to local charities and similar organizations. “I think a brewery should be part of the community,” Turner says, “and one of the things that we like to do is hold events and go to events that have some see BREWS Page 35

Market Now Open 4 pm - 8 pm

by Danette Randall

have been dreaming of this week’s dessert for a couple of months now. Yes, some people dream of money and fame (I mean world peace). Me, I dream of chocolate, butter and nuts all mixed together to form the perfect treat. Thank goodness I got a request from one of my fabulous Weekly readers for a coffee cake that would not only be delicious, but travel well and impress the masses. Hazelnut Chocolate Coffee Cake is what we are doing, and honey, fuggetaboutit (I’m a New Yorker in my dreams, FYI). This is so good, and like many other sweet concoctions, works for breakfast, a snack or just good ol’ dessert. Apparently, my requester wanted a New York-style coffee cake for a bake sale. She mentioned that every year it’s always full of cupcakes. I guess if cupcakes are the popular kids, then my coffee cake will be the rebel, the cheerleader versus the stoner, if you will. I’m proud my recipe will be front and center at the bake sale, nestled between the little goody-two-shoes cakes. Now, I must make it taste so good the other treats will pale in comparison. Enter chocolate and hazelnut. That’s really all I need to say to make you run right out and purchase the ingredients. It’s a match made in heaven (or Long Island). Combine that with a tender sour cream cake batter, and you have one award-winning treat. I’m actually doing something in between a crumb cake and a coffee cake. Not as much topping as a crumb cake, but a tad more than a coffee cake, with a little hit of topping running through the center of it. One little tweak would be I’m baking in a bundt pan instead of a rectangular pan. This is mainly for presentation — you want pretty slices on display when going up against those little fluffy cakes laden with colorful frosting and sprinkles (they’re so 2009). The hazelnuts are toasted to bring out their best. The chocolate aspect is in the topping, and not the actual cake batter. It gives it just the right amount needed to kick up the coffee cake and make it something special. Must wake up now. In my dreams the Mets just beat the Rockies. Wait, I am awake. Coffee cake for everyone! Now follow the directions, put some

love into it, and invite me over when it’s done.

Hazelnut Chocolate Coffee Cake Crumb Topping 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup granulated sugar pinch of salt 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted) 1 cup flour 2 tsp. cocoa powder 1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts (chopped) Center 1 tsp. cinnamon 1 tbsp. sugar 1 tsp. cocoa powder 1 tbsp. toasted hazelnuts (chopped) Cake Batter 2-1/4 cups flour 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/4 tsp. salt 3/4 cup unsalted butter (softened) 1-1/4 cups granulated sugar 2 eggs 1-1/4 cups sour cream 1 tsp. vanilla powdered sugar for dusting Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 10-inch Bundt pan (tube pan) with non-stick cooking spray. In small medium bowl, combine crumb topping ingredients. Mix well, set aside. In small bowl, combine center ingredients. Set aside. In another small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Sift together and set aside. In large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add in eggs and mix well. Stir in sour cream and vanilla, mix until batter is well-combined. Pour a little less than half of batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle your center mixture all over batter. Cover with remaining cake mix. Top with crumb mixture. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean. Take out and let cool completely. You can cut cake out of pan, or you can gently flip over onto serving platter and then place crumb side up. Lightly dust with powdered sugar. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com Boulder Weekly

sort of give-back to charity and some sort of community cause that we believe in.” Asher Brewing Company uses organic ingredients to represent its dedication to promoting local sustainability and health for the environment, beverage and consumer, Turner says. The Society of the Pursuit of Hoppiness hosts educational opportunities every month. “Next month it might be something about pairing different styles of beer and cheeses,” Howe says. “It’s all about challenging yourself and learning.” Wine has long held the position of the beverage most eloquently paired with food, but robust craft beers are accelerating into restaurants and onto kitchen tables, resting alongside sophisticated meals. “I think that yellow, fizzy beers don’t really lend themselves much to food pairings or as an ingredient,” Turner says. “I think that the craft brewing movement is a return to tradition, flavor and diversity as much as it is to anything else. And these flavors do lend themselves to food pairings.” American Craft Beer Week marks a Boulder Weekly

united front against the long-held stigma that beer is lowbrow and flavorless, and perceptions are changing “because of the amount of craft brewers in the country, and essentially all the brewers showing how diverse [beer] is and the incredible flavors you can get in craft beer, and just through education,” Howe says. And despite the recession, the industry has seen growth. In 2010, the craft brewing industry grew 11 percent by volume and 12 percent in profits and provided an estimated 100,000 jobs in the U.S., according to the Brewers Association website (www.brewersassociation.org/pages/ business-tools/craft-brewing-statistics/ facts). “The whole industry is on a linear, accelerating curve. Sales just keep rising,” Turner says. “The economy has something to do with it. High-end wine and liquor sales have taken a beating in this economy, and craft beer has benefitted from that. People might not want to buy a $30 bottle of wine, but you can buy $30 of craft beer and that goes further.” Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

The menu includes salads, contorni (side dishes), desserts and pizzas ranging in price from $9 for a Marinara to $18 for a deluxe version featuring prosciutto and arugula. Standouts include the traditional Margherita, with fresh basil, tomato and mozzarella, as well as the Cassata, chocolate cake freighted with sweet ricotta and candied fruit.

Sushi Kaiten 2055 S. Ken Pratt Blvd., Unit A, Longmont 303-485-9848

ormerly known as Ichiban, Longmont’s Sushi Kaiten brings conveyor-belt Japanese cuisine to Boulder County. Items are available both made-to-order and off the belt, and can’t-miss selections include the heavenly spicy salmon handroll and house-smoked salmon dusted with green tea powder. Other attractions include the surprisingly creamy white tuna and the aficionado’s choice, uni, or sea urchin roe.

standout among the area’s purveyors of Vietnamese soup, Broomfield’s Pho 79 serves up a noteworthy and affordable version of this beef noodle specialty. The broth is wonderfully rich, the product of a long, slow simmer of beef bones, onion and herbs. Thin rice noodles possess perfect texture, and garnishes of lime, bean sprouts, chile peppers and basil are fresh and abundant. Not bad for a place where a large soup sells for just $7.25.

Rom-com surprise

here’s a reason Bridesmaids isn’t called The Bridesmaid. Kristen Wiig, the star and co-writer (along with Annie Mumolo) of director Paul Feig’s comedy, has a self-effacing streak running right alongside her deadly deadpan streak. Even when she’s playing the lead, she’s not really playing the lead. Reedy and extremely pretty, Wiig has a dry, backhanded way of nailing laughs. In the posters and ads for Bridesmaids, all Wiig’s female co-stars strike bigger poses, make bigger faces, take a larger, momentary, more determined share of the spotlight. Wiig hangs back. No stranger to broad comedy (often her least interesting work on Saturday Night Live), she astounded the Wiig-ignorant with her brief but memorable turn as the undermining cable network assistant in Knocked Up. No one has explored the inner workings of a passiveaggressive frenemy the way Wiig has. She has the Midas touch for activating a character’s petty streak while still making audiences like her. In Bridesmaids, audiences, I suspect, will like her a lot, though her character, Annie, an unemployed Milwaukee pastry chef, is a bit of a sad sack. Annie’s half-hearted, purely expedient boyfriend ( Jon Hamm, with whom Wiig shares a riotously funny intercourse prologue) does nothing for her wobbly self-esteem. When Annie’s best friend, Lillian (Maya Rudolph, always a pleasure), recruits Annie to be her maid of honor, Annie’s ego gradually absorbs a series of blows

by Michael Phillips

inflicted by Lillian’s newfound best pal, the wellheeled and pristinely moneyed Helen (Rose Byrne), who insinuates herself into the planning and execution of Lillian’s wedding. This means war! The best of Bridesmaids wages war, but with more than the usual R-rated rom-com subtlety. The movie peaks early with an engagement party sequence in which Annie and Helen, glasses in hand, refuse to let each other have the last toast out of newly hatched hypercompetitiveness. Later, alas, come the raunch and the vomit. Too much of it, needless to say. One scene in Bridesmaids, in particular, involving a bad mass reaction to Brazilian food poisoning, clearly got

shoehorned into later versions of the script (producer Judd Apatow has copped to it in various interviews). A separate scene designed to give Wiig, co-star Melissa McCarthy (as a fellow ’maid) and associates some comic elbow room, in which Annie gets drunk and medium-disorderly on a plane to Vegas, never makes good on its promise. What works best in this routinely shot and directed film adheres to commercial formula but lollygags enough to make the behavior and interactions fresh, as was the case in previous projects from the Apatow stable such as The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up and Superbad. Wiig and Rudolph have remarkable natural rapport; they’re wonderful together. The scenes that truly matter to the story — the ones where we have to feel something’s at stake with this friendship — click satisfyingly into place. Annie’s romance with a genially ineffectual police officer, played by Chris O’Dowd, carries real charm, even when the contrivances keeping them apart feel, well, contrived. Not unlike Jason Segel’s yearning puppeteer in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Wiig’s character must find a way to get unstuck. She’s self-pitying, to a degree. Too much of that sort of thing can gum up the works in any comedy. Wiig’s natural and savvy instincts to go easy and let the audience come to her serve her and Bridesmaids well.

Ferrell-in-training

he alcoholic son of an alcoholic, sales manager Nick Porter was born in a Raymond Carver short story called “Why Don’t You Dance?” published in the 1981 Carver collection What We Talk About When We Talk About Love. The story, which takes place at a yard sale among one man’s stuff and his regrets, has been expanded into Everything Must Go, from debut feature film writer-director Dan Rush. Will Ferrell, mining the minimalist vein he explored in Stranger Than Fiction, does a valiant job in a picture that, admittedly, is only so big and only medium-sharp. But Ferrell acts opposite the superb Rebecca Hall (as a new and perplexed neighbor in this sunny Scottsdale, Ariz., neighborhood) and Laura Dern (as a long-ago high school chum Nick visits out of the blue). Hall and Dern, among others, bring out something new, and plaintive, in Ferrell. A movie star doesn’t take on a project such as Everything Must Go to make money. A star does it to become a better actor. Ferrell may appear occasionally stifled by the Boulder Weekly

by Michael Phillips

limited dramatic parameters here, yet in flashes we see combinations, traits, contradictions — funny/sad, pathetic/belligerent, watchful/numb — that prove he’s keeping his co-stars on their toes. It’s the story of a bad day that turns into a fiveday blur. Nick gets canned. He comes home, a can of Pabst (one of many to come) in his hand, to find all his belongings on the front lawn. His wife has split.

The neighbor across the street, played by Hall, wonders what’s up. A teenager rides up on a bike and soon he finds himself in Nick’s employ, readying the yard sale that will buy Nick some hang-out time until he determines if he wants to sober up, improve his life, learn a damn thing. The young actor Christopher Jordan Wallace does fine, quiet work as Nick’s protégé; Michael Pena plays a local cop who’s also Nick’s AA sponsor (not a very good one). Rush respects Carver’s slim, vinegar-tinged story while creating new characters and new (and somewhat artificial) situations. The results go only so far. Yet already Ferrell has come a long way as a seriocomic screen presence, quite apart from the movies that have ensured he can test his mettle on the occasional small-scale challenge on the order of Everything Must Go. —MCT, Tribune Media Service Respond:letters@boulderweekly.com

The year is 1844. A young lord rapes and kills with impunity by virtue of his political connections. Though the era of the samurai is fading, an honest government official covertly enlists 13 swordsmen to assassinate this sadistic lord before he can seize more power. With the clock ticking, the assassins lay a deadly trap for the lord and his army of bodyguards, culminating in one of the bloodiest swordfights ever put to film.

Jumping the Broom Two families must find a way to get along when they attend a wedding at Martha’s Vineyard. Angela Bassett, Paula Patton and Mike Epps are some of the folks attending the ceremony. At Flatiron, Century, Colony Square and Twin Peaks. — Rene Rodriguez Le Quattro Volte Inspired by Pythagoras’ belief in four-fold transmigration — by which the soul is passed from human to animal to vegetable to mineral — filmmaker Michelangelo Frammartino’s wondrous docu-essay traces the cycle of life through the daily rituals of life in a remote mountain village in the picturesque southern Italian region of Calabria. At Mayan. — Landmark Theatres Legend of the Fist In 1920s China, the nation is divided by infighting. Japan has become the most powerful force in Asia, taking over Northern Shanghai. With the city torn in half by international conflict, the popular nightclub “Casablanca” has become a hotbed of spies, mobsters, English officials and the Japanese military — all looking to gain control of the country, with little regard for what happens to its citizens. Into this den of intrigue enters Chen Zhen (Donnie Yen), who has returned to China after fighting alongside the Allied forces in Europe, bringing some dark secrets from his past along with him. During the day, he’s known as “Ku,” and appears to be just another wealthy playboy. But at night, he takes to the street as a masked warrior, determined to subvert the Japanese invasion while becoming entangled with the sultry Kiki (played by Shu Qi), who has a dangerous secret of her own. At Denver FilmCenter/Colfax. — Denver Film Society The Lincoln Lawyer Matthew McConaughey enters the courtroom for the first time since 1996’s A Time to Kill in this adaptation of Michael Connelly’s novel about a lawyer who conducts his business from his Lincoln Town Car. Rated PG-13. — Rene Rodriguez Marwencol On April 8, 2000, Mark Hogancamp was brutally attacked outside of a bar by five men. After nine days in a coma and 40 days in the hospital, Mark was discharged with little memory of his life. Unable to afford therapy, Mark creates his own. In his backyard, he built Marwencol, a 1/6-scale World War II-era town he populated with dolls representing his friends, family and even his attackers. At Boedecker Theater. — Boedecker Theater Meek’s Cutoff The year is 1845 and a wagon team of three families has hired the mountain man Stephen Meek to guide them over the Cascade Mountains. Claiming to know a short cut, Meek leads the group on an unmarked path across the high-plains desert, only to become lost in the dry rock and sage. Over the coming days, the emigrants must face the scourges of hunger, thirst

and their own lack of faith in each other’s instincts for survival. When a Native American wanderer crosses their path, the emigrants are torn between their trust in a guide who has proven himself unreliable and a man who has always been seen as the natural enemy. At Denver FilmCenter/Colfax. — Denver Film Society OPERA: La Rondine Moved forward in time to the 1950s, Graham Vick’s Fenice production of Puccini’s La Rondine was given a rousing review on Opera Chic, which noted: “Act I [was] commedia brillante. … Fiorenza Cedolins was a superb Magda.” At Boedecker Theater. — Boedecker Theater Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Director Rob Marshall (Chicago, Nine) takes over for Gore Verbinski in this installment of the monumentally successfully series. Let’s hope a clear plot emerges in this fourth installment, in which Capt. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) teams up with an intrepid explorer (Penelope Cruz) and the infamous Blackbeard (Ian McShane) to find the Fountain of Youth. At Flatiron, Century, Colony Square and Twin Peaks. — Rene Rodriguez Priest In the ravaged, post-apocalyptic remnants of a long war between humans and vampires, a warrior priest disobeys his superiors to try to rescue his niece after she’s abducted by bloodsuckers. At Flatiron, Century, Colony Square and Twin Peaks. — Rene Rodriguez The Princess of Montpensier The Princess of Montpensier tells the tale of Marie de Mézieres, a beautiful young aristocrat, and Henri de Guise, one of the kingdom’s most intrepid heroes. The two are in love, but Marie’s father promises her hand in marriage to the Prince of Montpensier. The film follows Marie as she is caught between the many men in her path. At Chez Artiste. — Landmark Theatres Public Service/Mental Hygiene Films Public service films were routinely presented in classrooms across the country in the days before video. This program features a group of short public service films from the 1950s to the 1970s, some animated and others live-action, addressing subjects such as driver education, mental hygiene, alcoholism and related subjects in serious and humorous ways. Titles screened include Pour Judgment (18 min.), shot in the Denver area; A Snort History (7 min.), with animation by Denver political cartoonist Oliphant and outdoor scenes of jeep trails in Colorado long closed; The Third Killer (28 min.), about a Mr. Rellik who is a broker in traffic deaths (final section is graphic and not recommended for children); and the animated film To Your Health. Included in the program are U.S. Army instructional and motivational films. At Boulder Public Library. — BPL Rio Jessie Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, Jane Lynch and Wanda Sykes provide the voices for this animated tale about a domesticated macaw who travels around the world to chase down the love of his life. Rated PG. At Twin Peaks, Flatiron, Colony Square and Century. — Rene Rodriguez Something Borrowed Ginnifer Goodwin is a wallflower lawyer, Kate Hudson is her domineering alpha-blonde best friend, and Colin Egglesfield is the only available man in New York City. He and Goodwin were study partners in law school, and on their way to being something more, when her smooth, confident pal swooped in and snatched him like a hawk seizing a rabbit. Now the couple is about to marry, while Goodwin smiles bravely from the sidelines with aching, unrequited longing and holds back tears. The film is a two-hour pity party, as her hopes for Egglesfield to snap out of it and realize he loves her are raised and dashed. At

Flatiron, Century, Colony Square and Twin Peaks. — Colin Covert Soul Surfer AnnaSophia Robb stars in this fact-based drama about a teenage girl who musters up the courage to climb back on her surfboard after losing an arm in a shark attack. Rated PG. At Twin Peaks. — Rene Rodriguez Source Code Jake Gyllenhaal stars as a man who wakes up on a passenger train eight minutes before a terrorist bomb goes off, killing everyone aboard. Through the use of new anti-terrorist government technology, he must relive those eight minutes until he can stop the attack. At Flatiron. — Rene Rodriguez Thor The launch of the summer movie season with a bigbudget, big-profile comic-book adaptation has become a tradition, and this year, the arrogant god of thunder is kicked out of Asgard and sent to live among the lowly humans on our planet, including Natalie Portman. Kenneth Branagh handled the directorical duties. At Flatiron, Century, Colony Square and Twin Peaks. — Rene Rodriguez Tiny Furniture Winner of the best narrative feature at the SXSW Film Festival, Tiny Furniture is a hilarious and endearing film that explores the depths of romantic humiliation and the heights of post-college confusion. At Boedecker Theater. — Boedecker Theater Water for Elephants Steamy and sexy with a smack of sadism, this atmospheric adaptation of the Sara Gruen novel is a throwback to old-school Hollywood action/romance. Robert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz co-star as a veterinarian, trick rider and unstable ringmaster struggling to save a financially ailing circus during the Depression. Rated PG-13. At Flatiron, Century, Colony Square and Twin Peaks. — Rene Rodriguez Winter in Wartime

In the Dutch countryside of 1945, the wreckage of a crashed English plane is an irresistible lure to two boys from the nearby village. It’s a game of adventure until occupying German soldiers chase Michiel and his friend Theo away from the wreck, and Michiel is brought before the local Nazi commander. Drawn into the Resistance, Michiel’s boyish sense of defiance and adventure soon turns to danger and desperation, as he is forced to act without knowing whom to trust among the adults and townspeople around him. At Chez Artiste. — Landmark Theatres Win Win Disheartened attorney Mike Flaherty, who moonlights as a high school wrestling coach, stumbles across a star athlete through some questionable business dealings while trying to support his family. Just as it looks like he will get a double payday, the boy’s mother shows up fresh from rehab and flat broke, threatening to derail everything. At Mayan and Century. — Landmark Theatres Word Salad: Creativity and Madness with Foxes, Deer, Ducks and Chickens Word salads come in many forms: In psychiatry it refers to a thought disorder found in various forms of psychosis; in the creative field a break from purely logical thinking to arrive at new meanings; in poetry it suggests playing with language. Some word salads are complete non-sense and in others you have to dig for the meaning. In this video, it is a mix of all these senses. This semi-divine comedy takes an out-of-the-box “mockumentary” approach to the creator-producer’s state of mind and tells his tale through his alter-ego, Rembrandt and some of his friends, thus presenting a new look at creativity and a new look at madness.

LIBRA

Today I received this email: “Dear Chosen One: My name is Boopsky, also known as ‘The Impossible.’ I rule a small kingdom that exists in a secret place — an island with abundant riches and rhinoceros playgrounds. To make a long story short, you have won our ‘naked’ lottery. Please come visit us to claim your prizes. We will carve a statue of you out of butter and strawberry jam. Your funny ways of walking and talking will be imitated by all of our citizens. Then you will be caressed as a monarch on a pile of TVs and sung songs to by our reincarnation chorus. Can’t wait to see you be so happy!” I suspect you may soon receive an invitation as puzzling as this one, Aries — an apparent blessing that carries mixed messages or odd undertones. My suggestion is to hold off on accepting it until you find out more about it. Meanwhile, make sure it doesn’t distract you from taking advantage of a less flashy but more practical opportunity.

When it’s flood season, the Amazon River rises as much as 60 feet. At that time, the adjoining forests earn their name — várzea, a Portuguese word meaning “flooded forests.” The river’s fish wander far and wide, venturing into the expanded territory to eat fruit from the trees. In the coming weeks, Libra, I imagine you’ll be like those fish: taking advantage of the opportunities provided by a natural windfall.

March 21-April 19:

TAURUS

April 20-May 20:

In order to capture the spirit of the landscapes he painted, French artist Claude Monet used to work outside in all kinds of weather. When I look at masterpieces like “Snow at Argenteuil” or “The Magpie, Snow Effect, Outskirts of Honfleur,” I like to imagine he was so engrossed in his work that he barely even registered the bitter chill. I bet you’ll be able to achieve a similar intensity of focus in the coming week, Taurus. You could be so thoroughly absorbed in an act of creation or a ritual of transition or an attempt at transformation that you will be virtually exempt from any discomfort or inconvenience that might be involved.

GEMINI

May 21-June 20:

What’s going to happen for you in the coming week will be the metaphorical equivalent of gaining the ability to see infrared light with your naked eye or detect the ultrasonic sounds that only dogs can hear. With this virtual superpower at your disposal, you just may be able to figure out how people’s unspoken feelings have been covertly affecting your destiny. You will intuit lucid inklings about the probable future that will help you adjust your decisions. You might even tune in to certain secrets that your own unconscious mind has been hiding from you.

CANCER June 21-July 22:

Devilish laughter revels in chaos, says Loyola University philosophy professor John Clark. “It’s an assault on excessive order, authority and seriousness.” Angelic laughter, on the other hand, “expresses delight in the wondrousness of life and in the mystery of the order and fitness of things.” I’d like to suggest, Cancerian, that the time is ripe for you to revel equally in the devilish and the angelic varieties of laughter. So get out there and seek funny experiences that dissolve your fixations and celebrate your life’s crazy beauty. The healing that results could be spectacular.

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22:

Last year a group of wealthy Germans asked their government to require them to pay higher taxes. “We have more money than we need,” said the 44 multi-millionaires. They wanted to help alleviate the ravages of poverty and unemployment. I urge you to make a comparable move, Leo. In what part of your life do you have more abundance than most people? Are there practical ways you could express your gratitude for the extravagant blessings life has given you? I think you’ll find that raising your levels of generosity will ultimately lead to you receiving more love. (Here’s more on the story about rich Germans: tinyurl. com/RichHelp.)

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22:

“I don’t know what I’m looking for,” sings Brendan Benson in his bouncy pop song, “What I’m Looking For,” “but I know that I just want to look some more.” I suspect those words could come out of your mouth these days, Virgo. I worry that you’ve become so enamored with the endless quest that you’ve lost sight of what the object of the quest is. You almost seem to prefer the glamour of the restless runaround — as painful as it sometimes is. That probably means you’re at least somewhat out of touch with the evolution of your primal desires. Check back in with the raw, throbbing source, please.

SCORPIO Oct. 23-Nov. 21:

Provocative new influences are headed your way from a distance. Meanwhile, familiar influences that are close at hand are about to burst forth with fresh offerings. It’s likely that both the faraway and nearby phenomena will arrive on the scene at around the same time and with a similar intensity. Try not to get into a situation where they will compete with or oppose each other. Your best bet will be to put them both into play in ways that allow them to complement each other.

Are you desperate for more companionship? Have your night dreams been crammed with soulful exchanges? Are you prowling around like a lusty panther, fantasizing about every candidate who’s even remotely appealing? If so, I have some advice from the poet Rumi: “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” In other words, Sagittarius: To foster the search for intimate connection, identify the patterns within yourself that are interfering with it. By the way, this is good counsel even if you’re only moderately hungry for closer connection.

CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19:

If you live in the United States, your chocolate almost certainly contains insect parts. The Food and Drug Administration understands that the mechanisms involved in making chocolate usually suck small passers-by into the works, which is why it allows manufacturers to include up to 60 bug fragments per 100 grams of chocolate. A lot of basically positive influences have a similar principle at work: Unpalatable ingredients get mixed in with the tasty stuff, but not in such abundance that they taint the experience. This week, Capricorn, you may be unusually tuned in to the unpalatable side of some good things in your life. Don’t overreact.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18:

I went to a literary event in which young poets read their work. One poet, Shelby Hinte, began her segment by talking about what inspires her. “I like to write about women who are more interesting than me,” she said. I was full of admiration for that perspective. It suggests she’s cultivating the abundant curiosity and humility that I think are essential to the creative process. As you slip deeper into an extra fertile phase of your personal cycle, Aquarius, I urge you to adopt a similar voracity for influences that surprise and fascinate and educate you.

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic,” said science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke. So in other words, if you were able to time-travel back to medieval England with a laptop computer and a solar-powered battery charger, the natives might regard you as a wizard with supernatural powers. I think there will soon be a similar principle at work in your life, Pisces: You will get a vivid glimpse of amazing things you could accomplish in the future. They may seem fantastic and impossible to the person you are right now — tantamount to magic. Be alert for expanded states of awareness that reveal who you could ultimately become.

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
