Don’t blame older workers (Re: “Summer of our discontent,” cover story, July 21.) It is inflammatory, prejudiced and somewhat ridiculous to even insinuate that teens can’t find jobs because older people have taken them. There are so many things wrong with this theory that I hardly know where to start. First off, why not place the blame for the lack of jobs where it belongs, on the companies that aren’t hiring, or more to the point, on the corporations that have laid off millions of Americans and continue to cut corners at every turn in search of the Almighty Quarterly Profit? Corporate greed is the reason why our jobs have disappeared; stop looking for a scapegoat. Second, older workers face far, far more discrimination in the workplace than young people do in a culture that is dominated by, and obsessed with, youth. Having been downsized out of a job repeatedly in the past 10 years (twice because of corporate mergers), I’ve often interviewed at companies where no one seemed to be much over the age of 23 or so, and interviews are usually conducted by managers that look no older than my children. In one case, I easily outperformed all of the kids at the table with me in an editing test, but despite this, plus years of experience and a degree, I never even received an initial call back. Was it because they couldn’t afford an older, experienced worker, an employment trend many economists have reported? Or, perhaps it was because I didn’t fit in with the corporate (youth) culture, or it was a little of both?

Third, while some teens might really need work to contribute to the family in these hard times, most are not faced with the reality of paying utilities, rent or mortgage, water, trash and groceries, as most older workers are. Rather, they want jobs to help cover the bills for their cell phones and i-Thingies, or to get a car. Important things, perhaps, but these are mostly what are called “luxury necessities” and do not rise to the level of “need.” Confusing “want” with “need” is a common mistake made by the young, including myself, when I was young and

The Highroad

he core economic problem we’re facing today is that both unemployment and underemployment are rampant, stifling any hope for real recovery and threatening the very survival of our essential middle class. The solution? Our leaders in Washington and various state capitols are pushing a massive jobs program across America. Great, just what we need! Uh ... no. Unfortunately, theirs is not a program to create jobs, but a coordinated effort with corporate front groups to eliminate hundreds of thousands of public service jobs, adding these workers to America’s jobless hordes. If ignorance is bliss, they must be ecstatic! They’ve swallowed the right-wing mythology that prosperity will magically arise if only government budgets can be gutted and the jobs of public employees terminated. Yet, by going on a firing ramBoulder Weekly

had yet to be humbled by life into understanding the difference. If your paper feels the need to blame someone for the lack of work for any group, put the blame where it belongs, on the companies, rather than singling out a scapegoat such as the older worker. Can you even imagine the uproar you would create if you ran an article stating that whites can’t find a job because they’re all taken by minorities and foreigners? Such jingoistic racism might play well with a certain segment of the readership, but it would

Shoving America back to the Great Recession by Jim Hightower page they are shoving the entire U.S. economy back into the Great Recession — or worse. This is because people who are out of work do not tend to be — how shall I put this? — “robust consumers.” Since consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of our country’s economic growth (and, in so doing, creates America’s jobs), the dogma of deliberately destroying the purchasing power of middle-class wage earners is disastrous — like trying

Danish’s idiotic proposal (Re: “A modest proposal for the budget impasse,” Danish Plan, July 14.) This proposal ignores political realities, and common sense, putting forth a “compromise” that will only make our deficit crisis worse. It is flawed for several reasons. see LETTERS Page 6

to cure a headache by chopping off your head. Not content to undercut middleclass consumers by firing them, extremist politicos are also slashing jobless payments, food stamps, Medicaid and other safety-net programs. These put money directly and quickly into the consumer economy as recipients spend for food, gas and other basics. Such cutbacks will drain some $37 billion more out of consumer spending this year. As our economy keeps sliding backwards, the middle-class people who get knocked down will be hunting these laissez-fairyland ideologues with dogs. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com July 28, 2011 5

Danish Plan http://www.boulderweekly.com

Municipal power is cheap in Longmont, but not Boulder by Paul Danish LETTERS from Page 5

First, the author assumes that Republicans are even interested in compromise. In paperwork they released in April discussing reducing the deficit, they put forward a plan in which 85 percent of savings would come from spending cuts and the rest from revenue increases. In true form, the GOP has now decided to hold this country’s bond rating hostage until spending cuts are substituted for the remaining revenue increases that they originally proposed. Second, to suggest “swapping” the Bush tax cuts for “Obamacare” is nonsensical. On one side you have landmark legislation that makes it illegal for insurance companies to deny coverage based on pre-existing conditions, which the Congressional Budget Office estimates will save more than $1 trillion over 20 years. On the other side you have the Bush tax cuts, which have already cost more than $3 trillion in tax revenue and have not created jobs. In fact, the last administration saw the lowest overall percent increase in jobs since Herbert Hoover. Not only did these cuts fail, but they are set to expire in 2012. If Obama does nothing, these onerous tax cuts will

simply disappear. Why would Democrats trade a signature piece of legislation in order to repeal tax cuts that are set to expire? Answer: The author is either a Republican or an idiot and has adopted their definition of “compromise.” To sum up my issue with each point: 1. “Obamacare” is set to save us more than $1 trillion. See above. 2. The Bush tax cuts are set to expire in two years. See above. 3. By virtue of basic math, Danish is suggesting that we extend these cuts for one year. See above. 4. In 1937, Congress and FDR tried massively cutting spending, and it nearly sent us right back into the Great Depression. 5. Raising the debt ceiling has happened 89 times since 1917, usually in a bipartisan manner, and should not require a compromise to begin with. I challenge the author to show me why this “compromise” is anything but kowtowing to Republican obstructionism and doesn’t solve our debt crisis, but makes it worse, all the while throwing the most vulnerable see LETTERS Page 8

quotes of the week

“Every single one of those we have lost is a tragedy in itself; together it is a national tragedy.” —Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, addressing his nation at a memorial service for those killed by gunman Anders Behring Breivik “I thought I was going to die when I was being attacked. I was so scared.” —Samuel Gottsegen, a 17-year-old Denver resident, who was seriously injured when a mother grizzly mauled him and another teenager in Alaska “We feel a little more human today.” —Ray Durand, 68, a New York resident, after marrying his longtime partner, who is 79, on the first day that same-sex marriages became legal in New York 6 July 28, 2011

ome November, Boulder voters will be asked whether they want to throw the city’s franchise with Xcel Energy under the bus and set up a municipal electric utility in its place. Voters will also be asked to double the city’s carbon tax (to 0.99 cent from 0.49 cent), mostly to pay the lawyers who will be handling the Boulder-Xcel divorce. (Yeah, I know the “throwing under the bus” metaphor has been over-used to the point of nausea, but in this case it seems apt. That’s because until RTD took over bus service in the mid1970s, Xcel’s predecessor company, Public Service Co. of Colorado, operated Boulder’s local buses. But we digress.) Municipal power, huh? Well I’ve been living in Longmont for the past five years where we have it, and I can’t say enough good things about it. Longmont has had municipal power for 99 years, and we pay a lot less for our electricity than people in Boulder do. A 2010 survey conducted by the Colorado Association of Municipal Utilities found that Longmont had the lowest rates in Colorado for residential, large commercial and industrial electric service, and the second-lowest rates for small commercial service. Longmont’s residential rate is about 30 percent less than what Boulder residents pay to Xcel. Power to the people, I say. Of course, municipal power in Boulder won’t be anything like that. Boulder’s rates would be a lot higher than Longmont’s. The reason Longmont’s rates are so low is not just because Longmont Power & Communications is a nonprofit corporation. It is because Longmont Power & Communications is a nonprofit corporation that gets 73 percent of the electricity it sells from coal-fired power plants. And most of the coal that goes into those plants — the big one is the Rawhide Energy Station, with 280 megawatts of coalfired capacity — comes from

Wyoming’s Powder River Basin, the cheapest coal in North America. As of July 11, Powder River Basin coal was selling for $14.60 a ton on the spot market. For comparison, West Virginia coal was selling for more than $78 a ton at the time. Needless to say, we don’t have a carbon tax either. (In addition to the 73 percent of Longmont’s power that comes from coal, the city gets 19.1 percent of its power from hydroelectric sources and another 2-plus percent from wind, which renewable-wise isn’t too shabby.) A Boulder municipal utility won’t produce electricity from coal, of course. The whole point of forming a Boulder municipal electric utility is to expedite the city’s transition to carbonless kilowatts. That rules out coal and all but locks in higher rates. True, electricity produced with wind and solar energy is rapidly becoming more competitive in the overall electricity market, but it still costs more to produce than electricity produced with Powder River Basin Black. That isn’t about to change anytime soon — particularly when it comes to base-load power plants, those that supply power 24/7. In the solar power business, the saddest words of tongue and pen are “night” and “batteries not included.” (In the case of wind power, substitute “lulls and gales” for “night.”) If wind and solar are to be used to supply base-load electricity, they have to be able to supply power when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing (or is blowing too hard). The obvious solution is an energy storage device — a battery or a tank of molten salt, in the case of solar thermal, for example — that can store energy produced when the sun shines or the wind blows, for use when they don’t. Such technologies are in development and will likely be both available and affordable within a decade. They will solve the “batteries not included” problem of solar and wind power, but another, see MUNICIPAL POWER Page 8

MUNICIPAL POWER from Page 6

tougher problem will remain. Good batteries may allow solar and wind plants to deliver power 24/7, but if a solar plant is to deliver as much power at night as it delivers during the day, it has to generate twice as much power during the day as it would if it were a daylight-only operation. That means a base-load solar plant has to have twice as many mirrors or photovoltaic panels and twice as much land as a plant that quits delivering power after sunset. And that cranks the capital costs big-time. Although City Council members

may be reluctant to admit it, in pushing for municipal power, the council is really asking Boulder to commit to base-load renewable power. If that isn’t the end-game, there isn’t much to starting the exercise in the first place. I worry that the council hasn’t thought through the capital-cost implications of base-load renewable power and, as a result, is dramatically underestimating the ultimate cost of a green municipal utility. The voters need to get this point pinned down well in advance of Election Day. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com LETTERS from Page 6

Our agricultural future While most Boulder residents are not paying much attention, nine Boulder County Cropland appointees are determining for you the future use of 25,000 acres of public open space designated as agricultural-use lands. The process began in May, and as a policy, will be presented to the public in October. At each meeting, every other week, we, the public, are allowed to observe, but not speak or respond. There are numerous basic premises not being addressed by this group of nine. The primary one, of course, being: Do we want large agri-business, monocrop farmers who use numerous highly toxic chemicals to produce genetically modified organisms (GMOs) like corn, sugar beets, soy, and soon-to-be-GMO alfalfa in Boulder County public open space at all? Who decided in the first place that Boulder residents wanted these farmers polluting our soil, air and water every summer? Only two of the nine people representing the hand-selected Cropland Policy Board are organic farmers with smaller farms, and more than 20,000 acres are already leased out to these “mainstream” chemical-laden farmers who sell their crops out of county. So, the odds are pretty good that the fundamental premise that this Cropland Policy document will support is the continuation of the failed Western Hemisphere farming experiment that has been going on the past 70 years. We can’t feed the world according to Monsanto, with large mono-crops. We need to return to smaller, local and traditionally based farming techniques that preserve natural systems. We can do better than this, Boulder, and if we can’t do it, it’s not going to happen, except maybe up in the see letters Page 9

Northwest. I’ll be honest here. I have zero tolerance for “mainstream” chemical-driven farming. I do not believe chemicals are the answer to economics, feeding the world, creating health for people, animals and soil, or solving any other world problems. We, the people of Boulder County, set the standards for who is allowed to farm in Open Space. We can have as high of standards as we want, I might add: permaculture and organic a must, biodynamic preferred, crop rotations required, soil health by only natural means, pastured animals. Set the standards high and people will respond. A certain percentage of the farmers would be required to be Community Supported Agriculture operations, which could include bees, bread-making, winter storage for vegetables, grain growing, and another percentage of farmers can be the Farmers’ Market farmers and have business arrangements with local restaurants. Those of you who care about saving Boulder County open space from GMO crops and toxic farming methods, please make your opinion clear and attend the Wednesday, Aug. 10, CPAG meeting that has been designated as the GE crop meeting when GMOs on county lands will be discussed.

Spaceship Earth Once upon a time there was a spaceship. The ship was unique in the galaxy. It had the ability to sustain itself by sequestering energy from the cosmos as it traveled through space. Food for the crew was grown right on the ship, and through an ages-old process known as photosynthesis, oxygen was harvested for breathing as well. The operation of the ship was divided into three main categories: management, crew and technical support. Management made all the critical decisions and controlled security and the judiciary, taking valuable input from the crew and the technical staff in order to keep the human species alive for the voyage that was to last for more than 2 million years. Human reproduction was to be regulated by available resources. After about 50,000 years and due to the fact that life spans increased as knowledge of disease control improved, population increased beyond the optimum model. The ship’s management over the years had also acquired a larger-than-normal amount of control, and influence over the crew, and ideological differences as to the purpose of and responsibility for the voyage became a source of contention. The technicians warned of lifestyle adjustments that were necessary for all on board to maintain the sustainability of the flagship, and the difference Boulder Weekly

between a plentiful life and one that was stressed for resources became unduly imbalanced. Eventually, after it became abundantly obvious that the ship was in peril, everybody agreed in principle to the necessary adjustments, but implementation was delayed. And even though there was a clear path for survival, management was slow to yield its resources or its ideological views, so the critical point for control of the ship passed before the necessary changes could be fully implemented. The crew died first, then the techni-

cal staff and, finally, with no knowledge of how to run a hugely complex ship, management, rich in wealth and power and fixated in the righteousness of its ideology, also perished. Astonishingly, the spaceship, running on auto pilot and relieved of its requirements to support human life, survived along with a few hardy subspecies for another 5 billion years and was even visited and inhabited by other intelligent life forms who were quick to marvel at the incredible resources available on the ship that were never tapped.

Ban bigots In less than two months, the ban on gays in the military will come to an end. “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” (DADT) the policy of silence put in place as a compromise by President Bill Clinton will be swept away in favor of equality. Well, that’s one campaign promise President Obama has kept. Now all people regardless of gender, race or sexual preference, will be able to serve their country. And for some, this is a terrible thing. “I am disappointed the president hasn’t properly addressed the concerns expressed by military service chiefs before certifying the repeal [of DADT],” said Rep. Howard P. McKeon, R-Calif. “Their worry that the combat readiness of our force could be placed at risk, particularly those serving on the front lines in Afghanistan and Iraq, must be taken seriously.” It was this thinking that delayed the repeal of DADT for so long. And although it’s clear that those in the military understand military needs better than those of us who have never served, it’s really hard to understand how knowing there are gay guys in one’s unit could possibly impact “combat readiness.” The fact that gays have served our nation for so long in secret with no negative impact on our military proves that they’re up to the task, so clearly their preparedness and their skill are not the issue. So what’s the problem? Are straight soldiers so uncomfortable with gays that they can’t sleep at night and feel tired and stressed all day? Do they feel to afraid to shower? Will knowing that the brother in arms beside them has a boyfriend make them too afraid to go into combat? If so, then we propose a new ban, one that bars ignorant bigots from serving. After all, a soldier who is too distracted by the sex lives of others to focus on his job shouldn’t be in the military in the first place. Chasing the “God” particle Scientists say they’re inching closer to uncovering the deepest secrets of the atom and that they may be on track to isolate the Higgs boson, the so-called “God” particle, by December 2012. The Higgs boson is the keystone of the Standard Model of particle physics and has been used as the explanation for why matter has mass.

During a conference on particle physics in Grenoble, France, scientists discussed the latest data collected from the gazillion dollar proton supercollider buried 300 feet below the ground on the Franco-Swiss border, claiming that they’re finding what they’d expect to find if, in fact, the Higgs boson exists. The super collider fires beams of protons at one another down a 17-milelong tunnel. Because the magnets in the tunnel are super-cooled to almost absolute zero — that’s minus 459.67 degrees Fahrenheit — the protons are able to attain speeds that are one-millionth of a percent below the speed of light, creating a crash of Big Bang proportions on an itsy-bitsy scale. The collision releases smaller particles for scientists to study, and somewhere among the quarks and gluons there might just be the Higgs boson — and a deeper understanding of how the universe came into being. Knowledge is a great thing, except… Wasn’t there something about the super collider generating tiny black holes that could destroy the universe? Why, yes, there was. In theory, each of these collisions creates tiny black holes that may or may not dissolve. If they do dissolve, all is well. If they don’t… Let’s just say that the random appearance of a black hole anywhere near you would put all other problems in your life into perspective. In other words, observing the Hobbs boson might be the last thing humanity does. It’s a complete coincidence that December 2012 — Dec. 21, to be precise — is when the Mayans predict the end of the world, right? We hope so. Tackling the football problem So what’s with this most recent rash of football players, at the college and pro level in Colorado, in the news due to charges that they raped women over the past year? It’s not like you see a string of rapes by, say, male volleyball players, bowlers or curlers. What is it about football that makes players think they can do whatever they want with women’s bodies? Do they think they’re demi-gods? If so, they are mistaken. Let’s swap the entitlement and swagger in the football culture for some respect and responsibility.

County invests in organic farming business by Jefferson Dodge

oulder County officials have stepped up efforts to encourage sustainable farming on open space land, recently investing $114,000 on an irrigation system to convince a traditional farmer to go organic. The farmer, Matt Pierce, is a member of the county’s Food and Agriculture Policy Council. He plans to begin farming organically on about 130 of the 1,000 acres of county open space he uses. And he’s using that land to produce corn for cows at the nearby Mile Hi Dairy, which provides milk to Royal Crest Dairy in Longmont. In turn, Mile Hi provides Pierce with manure from the cows, to fertilize for the next round of corn. “This corn ends up on your doorstep through Royal Crest,” says David Bell, the county’s agricultural resource manager for parks and open space. Boulder Weekly recently joined Bell and Pierce on a tour of farmland on the north side of Longmont, which has gained attention in recent years for the use of biosolids — watered-down human sewage used as fertilizer. During the tour, biosolids were being applied to Pierce’s countyowned farmland. The new center-pivot irrigation system is allowing Pierce to water 130 acres instead of 80 — and with the push of a button instead of labor-intensive and water-intensive irrigation with ditches, pipes and yellow plastic tubing. “It saves time and water with the pivot,” Pierce says. It’s not the first time the county has funded farming improvements on open space land, but it’s the first time a conventional farmer has agreed to go organic because of it. According to Bell, the county has previously spent about $131,000 on irrigation projects, such as creating holding ponds on county land, and the county has even funded the construction of hay sheds and granary bins to let farmers store their crops and wait for prices to go up during the off-season. The county does reap some rewards, aside from boosting local organic food production. In Pierce’s case, the county pays for one-third of the seeds and fertilizer, and even shares the cost of a crop consultant, then gets the profits from onethird of the crops. It’s part of a self-funded Boulder Weekly

program in which the county leases its open space, hay sheds and granary bins to farmers, then uses the proceeds for maintenance and improvements. Last year, the county brought in about $1.2 million in lease revenues and spent $980,000 on such projects, Bell says. Pierce is a third-generation farmer who is still wondering how he’s going to control weeds and bugs without chemicals. “Other farmers think I’m crazy because I’m trying to make it profitable, with all the obstacles,” he says. A large organic farm nearby has 80 workers. Pierce has five workers, and three of them are his kids, who are under the age of 14. “I’ve probably got the only kids who are happy to go back to school,” he says with a laugh. In addition to corn, Pierce grows barley for Coors, sunflowers and alfalfa hay. His primary enemies are Canadian thistle and bind weed, which crowd out crops and compete for their water. It takes three years of non-chemical farming to get certified as organic, and the county is letting Pierce spray this season one last time to get rid of the weeds before he begins the process. When he can’t spray the weeds, he says, it will take five or six passes with a culivator to cut weeds between rows. As for the weevils that he won’t be able to spray, Pierce says he’ll lose some yield by having to cut crops early in the season — which eliminates the bugs’ shade and wipes them out with heat. During the three-year transition, the county will cut his lease in half — since he won’t be able to collect premium funding for organic crops, which usually bring in about 15 percent more than conventional farm products. As a user of controversial RoundUp Ready corn in his conventional farming efforts, Pierce says he respects the concerns about Monsanto products, but maintains that there are two sides to the story. “There are a lot of benefits to it — we use a lot less chemicals,” he says of genetically modified crops, noting that there are two kinds of chemicals instead of six, and they are applied less frequently. “You get more yield, and crops do a lot better. But I’m not an expert. There’s always an extreme to each side.” Respond:letters@boulderweekly.com

Heroin use and

DEATHS

in Boulder SHOOT UP

by David Accomazzo

eroin-related deaths in 2011 in Boulder have more than doubled since last year, according to numbers provided by the Boulder Police Department, and they are on pace to be nearly four times higher than they were last year. In addition, arrests for heroin possession are on track to nearly triple the total from 2010. Sgt. Hartkopp of the Boulder County Drug Task Force, who asked to be identified by last name only so as to not compromise undercover operations, tells Boulder Weekly that there has been a marked increased in heroin use within the county during the past two years. “Most of our heroin-related events take place in the city of Boulder,” Hartkopp says. “For whatever reason, the city of Boulder seems to have a more significant concentration of heroin users as opposed to the county. That could be because of the college scene. I could speculate, but I don’t know.” Despite the uptick in heroin use, Hartkopp says Boulder still lacks a cohesive heroin scene. “What we’ve seen are groups that tend to form a bond for a common goal,” Hartkopp says. “Quite often what we’ll see is somebody from within that [group] will drive down to Denver … and pick up the heroin for them and this group. “We’re seeing that kind of association, but in regards to a subculture that is real prevalent and organized, no. We haven’t seen anything like that.” The increase in heroin activity observed by city and county police mirrors a statewide rise in heroin and opiate abuse. The Colorado Health Information Dataset (COHID) analyzes data from hospitals in Colorado, and heroin-related hospitalizations in Colorado rose 174 percent from 2000 to 2009, the last year for which data is currently available. Opiate- and narcotic-related hospitalizations rose 360 percent in Colorado during that time. In Boulder County (COHID doesn’t track hospitalizations by city), heroin hospitalizations were very rare from 2000 to 2008 — no more than two incidents a year, and more often than not, there were none. In 2009, there were six. Though heroin arrests and hospitalizations are increasing, county health workers haven’t noticed a significant increase in drug users taking advantage of county health services. Carol Helwig, who runs “The Works” needle exchange program for Boulder County Public Health, says there hasn’t been a noticeable increase in Boulder Weekly

Men, when they’re distressed, they don’t tend to go to their doctor; they tend to go to the corner bar, their dealer or whatever. You see different styles of solving problems.” It’s tough to pinpoint why heroin use has increased so much. A 2009 report from the National Drug Information Center, a division of the U.S. Department of Justice, points out that as the total number of legal prescriptions written for opiates has risen, abuse of those same drugs has also gone up. “The increase in use of opioid pain relievers — particpeople enrolling in needle exchanges. ularly methadone — has been linked by public health “We serve injection drug users, not just heroin, but officials with a parallel increase in drug overdose deaths meth, cocaine and anything else,” Helwig says. “We do and emergency department visits involving these drugs,” get new clients — and we have the report reads. “Areas with the highDavid Accomazzo been seeing new clients come in est rates of opioid distribution are those regularly — but it’s not different with the highest drug overdose mortalfrom any other year.” ity rates.” Ann Noonan, who is the The prevalence of prescription opiAddiction Recovery Center (ARC) ates might have demystified the effects division manager, says that while of heroin.

Along the way, Claypool has done a host of outside projects, as well as three solo CDs; formed Oysterhead (with Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio and Police drummer Stewart Copeland); and fronted several other groups, including the Frog Brigade, Colonel Claypool’s Bucket of Bernie Brains and the Fancy Band. Primus, meanwhile, reunited for a 2003 EP, Animals Should Not Try to Act Like People, and a tour. They toured again in 2006. Now comes new music to go with a return to touring. Claypool says Green Naugahyde merges a bit of the early Primus sound with newer stylistic elements that haven’t filtered into the previous albums. “The comparison to Frizzle Fry is pretty obvious just because that was Jay Lane, a lot of that material was honed in the Jay Lane territory,” he said. “And I also, over the past 10 years, have become way more comfortable with production and my vocals and just different elements that we wouldn’t really have tackled before with Primus. So there are some elements of sort of the Frog Brigade/Claypool world to it. “But there are also strong elements that Ler has brought in,” Claypool says. “He brought in actual songs, which he never did before. Jay Lane, I encouraged him to bring in beats that we could write off of, and he did. … I’d say a good half of the record is stuff that came in independently [of me].” A tour that begins Sept. 23 will be an opportunity to give fans a sampling of the new CD, as well as a chance to revisit the Primus back catalog. “It will be a plethora of classic Primus material, and then we’re going to be sneaking in some new stuff,” Claypool said. “It [the set list] will be different every night, so it kind of goes on what the mood of us personally is and what the crowd is looking like.” Respond:letters@boulderweekly.com

Raising the next generation by Dr. Jenni Skyler Dear Dr. Jenni, I just had twin boys. I read your column every week, so I thought I’d ask a question about my sons.

What would you suggest I do to raise them in the healthiest way possible in regards to sexuality? —Raising Healthy Sons

You may need to first ask yourself, “How do I feel about sexuality?” If it’s a place of fear or confusion, then you may want to work to change that perspective.

Weakling becomes hero

ncle Sam Wants You!” the posters shouted during the 1940s, but what if you were too scrawny to pass the physical and fight for your country? That’s the dilemma faced by Brooklyn weakling Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) in Captain America: The First Avenger. Enter German-American scientist Dr. Erskine (Stanley Tucci), who picks Rogers to join a squad of men he’s turning into enhanced super-soldiers for the U.S. Army. Rogers struggles through the training but shows courage and empathy, and when it’s time to test out Erskine’s serum — with a little help from Stark Industries and grandfather Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper) — it’s Rogers who is picked to go first. Rogers emerges from the machine ripped and ready to defend his country, able to run lightning fast, swim deep into the water and much more. Helpful for fighting Nazis! Erskine’s previous experiment was for the Germans, and the result was the insane Johann Schmidt and his alter-ego Red Skull (Hugo Weaving). Good guy, meet bad guy. The cool, beautiful Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) is the love interest for Rogers, and while she’s attracted to his compassionate nature, there’s never a spark between them. Later in the film, when he’s sacrificing himself for the country, their banter is embarassingly unbelievable. Hugo Weaving brings a certain evil energy to his role as Red Skull, but where it needed a larger-than-life

villain — complete with minions and mysterious weapons — he was too tame, not at all frightening and no challenge to Captain America’s superior strength. I was also quite surprised by the role that sidekick Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) had: He’s vital in the comic book series, but in the movie he’s almost invisible. Marvel Comics has been slowly but surely introducing filmgoers to the major comic book characters

It (almost) never works

ince American media sexualizes almost everything except sex, Hollywood romantic comedies about two people making hey-hey without any big plans for any big future rarely come easily or operate from a spirit of carnal delight. The strain of being hip and loose, yet mindful of the conventional, even Puritanical rom-com imperatives, is too much to handle. Leave complicated sexual lives to the French, many Americans mutter, even as they secretly envy the easy Gallic flirtation, not to mention their attention to detail when it comes to a salad. This year, No Strings Attached presented Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher — a real actress co-starring with a chalk outline of a leading man — as two halves of a sustained casual fling inching toward love and a substantive relationship. Now, showcasing the hyperactively entertaining pair of Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis, we have the more interesting and energetic Friends With Benefits. We’re running out of titles for romantic comedies based on this premise. We’re Just Blanking Boulder Weekly

by Dave Taylor

that comprise the crime-fighting team The Avengers. Hence “The First Avenger” part of the title. In addition to Captain America, the crew includes Iron Man (Tony Stark, as portrayed by Robert Downey Jr.), Thor (as portrayed by Chris Hemsworth) and The Hulk (as portrayed by Edward Norton). Captain America: The First Avenger offers a superior film, a story with more human interest, a much more sympathetic and likable protagonist, and a logical explanation for his superpowers. I’m a sucker for the era, and the production team has done a splendid job of evoking mid1940s America, from the World’s Fair that Rogers and Bucky visit to the street scenes and street patter of Brooklyn of the earlier part of this past century. Even with the shortcomings, the movie has excellent special effects. Rogers’ weakling-tohero story is satisfying, and his gradual appreciation for the powers he’s been granted are fun to watch. It’s good fun and one of the best comic-book films I’ve seen in years. Respond:letters@boulderweekly.com

by Michael Phillips may be the last one left. “No relationship. No emotions. Just sex!” So says the hotshot website art director played by Timberlake, recruited from his California gig for a New York City job as GQ magazine’s design head. (The film takes place in a strange, distant time before the recession, when people flew on airplanes with tickets paid for by prospective employers.) The woman he’s pitching, an executive headhunter played by Kunis, says she’s up for it. The newbie and his savvy Manhattan sponsor fall into a fast friendship. They fit. He’s “emotionally unavailable,” still smarting over his mother leaving his now-Alzheimer’s-addled father, played by

Richard Jenkins with his usual, light-fingered skill; she’s “emotionally damaged” (in a perky, edgy way), the daughter of a boozy free spirit perpetually between relational engagements played by Patricia Clarkson. Why not throw in some intercourse? Clarkson appeared in the ensemble of director Will Gluck’s previous film, Easy A, which starred Emma Stone and percolated very nicely, from the writing to Gluck’s brisk direction. Friends With Benefits is coarser. (Sensitive souls recovering from the grungier bits in Horrible Bosses might want to wait a week or two.) But it zips along. The script by Gluck, Keith Merryman and David A. Newman has a serrated

edge, and neither of the leading roles begs for audience sympathy. Gluck’s feature deals every which way with children of divorce and/or single parents, looking for love. They’re trying to chart a course toward something more authentic than the drippy scenes we’re shown from a fake romantic comedy (wonderfully acted by Jason Segel and Rashida Jones) watched at different points in Friends With Benefits by Jamie and Dylan. I enjoy both Timberlake and Kunis; just this side of manic, they seem right together. Like so much we see and hear in R-rated rom-coms these days, the movie’s raunch has its pushy side. So does the editing by Tia Nolan, which chops up simple and often very funny bits of dialogue into bits better left alone to breathe visually. These things matter, because they affect how we relate to the people on screen. Still, enough goes right to compensate for what doesn’t quite. You can probably guess the ending. Then again, I doubt Hollywood will ever make a movie about casual sex that turns serious where you can’t guess the ending. Respond:letters@boulderweekly.com

Snack bar with Boulder ties benefits malnourished by Sarah Simmons Jefferson Dodge

oulder is about to get another nutritional bar. But this one is for a good cause, and its product developer lives in town. Soon to be situated among the various granola and proteinrich bars already on the shelves at the Boulder Whole Foods locations will be a new bar with a mission: To help end the malnutrition of thousands of children in Africa. The newest addition is from Two Degrees, a company based out of San Francisco that launched in January and has promised a one-for-one business philosophy with its sales. Co-founder and president Will Hauser says that for every bar sold, the company will donate one ready-to-use food nutritional pack to a child suffering from acute malnutrition in Malawi or Kenya. “Our goal, in terms of sales and nutrition packs distributed, is we want to give away tens of millions of nutrition packs in a couple of years, and we think it’s both optimistic and realistic, especially with a phenomenal partner like Whole Foods,” Hauser says. Boulder resident Barr Hogen, head of product development for Two Degrees, says she was inspired to begin working with the company two years ago. “The concept is, we’re enjoying this food, and we’re very privileged to be enjoying this food, and we have ample amounts of it,” she says. “But it’s more real, especially for someone on the consumer end. It’s right there. Every time a bar is sold, we have to give back.” Hogen says that as the former creative chef and

product developer for Odwalla, being able to create a new kind of bar with tastes that complement the unique business model of the company was important to her. “I’m kind of tired of having the same old bar,” Hogen says. “Our bar is not like a fortified bar, we’re not trying to be a protein bar, we’re trying to be, if you need a snack and are hungry, one of the things that you can reach for and know that you’re doing some good.” So far, Hogen has worked to create three flavors for the company: Chocolate Peanut, Cherry Almond and Apple Pecan. She says she’s currently working on a chocolate sun butter flavor without nuts. Hauser says that while Whole Foods may be inundated with companies that are involved in social causes and giving back, Two Degrees is uniquely different on several fronts, the most notable being that Two Degrees doesn’t give a percentage of sales to a cause but rather makes direct donations from the amount of bars sold.

“We total our sales and make donations according to the unit number of sales that we’ve made, and that’s a really important distinction,” Hauser says. “That’s how our customers know every single time they buy a bar, yes — we really are giving away a nutrition pack, no matter how many bars we’ve sold at that time.” Additionally, Hauser says, Two Degrees only donates nutrition packs that are manufactured on the ground in the areas they are working to help. In Malawi, a facility run by Valid Nutrition hires local residents and uses local ingredients to make the nutrition packs — bags of dense, healthy, 500-calorie paste — providing economic opportunities to the area as well as serving medical needs. According to the World Health Organization, severe acute malnutrition is a life-threatening condition requiring specialized treatment, which until the recent introduction of ready-to-use nutrition packs, consisted of lengthy therapeutic diets and medical care in outpatient settings where disease was often spread. The packs do not require the addition of water or refrigeration, and, according to WHO, have a 95 percent success rate of treating acute malnutrition. Two Degrees already donated 10,800 nutritional packs in February to children in Malawi and is projected to donate 50,000 more next month to Malawi and Kenya. Whole Foods regional buyer Mike Rapport says the decision to bring the bars into both the Boulderarea stores and every other Whole Foods market in the nation comes from a drive to help Two Degrees meet its goal. “We brought it back and we looked at it, and it was such a compelling story because it’s so missiondriven,” Rapport says. “There’s so much in line with see snack bar Page 43

TIDBITES Food happenings around town Alfalfa’s revives pancake breakfast Alfalfa’s in Boulder is bringing back its Pancake Breakfast to benefit Community Food Share. The event will be held in the Alfalfa’s parking lot on Saturday, July 30, from 7 to 10 a.m. Admission is $7 for adults and $3 for kids 10 and under. The event features live music and all-you-can-eat pancakes, bacon, sausage, eggs, coffee, juice and other breakfast treats, including vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options. “This was always one of our most popular events at Alfalfa’s, and we had a great run doing it for 11 years, from 1985 to 1996,” says Paul Gingerich, culinary director for Alfalfa’s. Community Food Share distributes free food to those in need through a network of 56 member agencies and several direct-service programs targeting specific at-risk populations such as low-income seniors and families with children enrolled in the school free lunch program. “At Community Food Share, we rely on the generosity of businesses like Alfalfa’s to help us raise funds, which allows us to continue to fight hunger in our community,” says Jim Baldwin, CEO of Community Food Share. “The Alfalfa’s Pancake Breakfast was always a favorite event in the Boulder community, and we are excited that it is coming back.” Boulder Granola grows Boulder Granola, a Boulder-based line of 100 percent organic granola launched seven months ago, is now available in more than 50 Colorado retailers and local restaurants. “I’m amazed at how quickly Boulder Granola has expanded,” says Jody Nagel, company founder and “Head Hippie.” “Being able to bring a totally organic granola to not only Boulder, but to Colorado, has been an amazing experience, and is

something that I feel great about. I look forward to spreading our quality granola beyond just Boulder and increasing sales through our various distribution channels.” Boulder Granola is being billed as the “most authentic, highest-quality granola available in Colorado,” and as something to “Unleash your Inner Hippie.” Based on Nagel’s mother’s original recipe, the organic granola blends oats, nuts and seeds with lightly sweetened, pure maple syrup. It is available in four flavors: Original, Cranberry, Chocolate Chip and Certified Gluten-Free Original. The granola can be purchased at Whole Foods Market, Sunflower Markets, King Soopers and Vitamin Cottage, as well as other retailers and restaurants in Boulder and surrounding communities. It can also be ordered online at www.BoulderGranola.com. For more information, call 303-5890435, email info@BoulderGranola.com, or see www.BoulderGranola.com. New Twisted barleywine on tap Twisted Pine Brewing Company unveiled its Bough Breaker barleywine at its 16th anniversary party on July 16. The American-style barleywine is a deep, rich red with aromas of citrus hops, dark fruit and light toffee. “At 9 percent ABV and 120 IBU, this beer is the perfect candidate for a lengthy rest in any beer lover’s basement,” brewery owner Bob Baile says, adding, “but with a beer this tasty, the temptation to drink it right away is often too great.” While Twisted Pine has brewed other barleywines in the past, those were small batches destined for distribution solely at the brewery’s ale house. Bough Breaker is the first of its style packaged by the brewery for widespread release. Respond: letters@boulderweekly.com

what we do, that we sent it up to our national team, which is composed of the people that buy for all the different regions, and we voted it basically into the entire company — it went national right away, and that doesn’t happen very often.” Rapport says he expects the flavors of and the mission behind Whole Foods’ newest bars to be well-received on a national level, but especially in the Boulder community. “Clearly, [Boulder] is a great market for this kind of thing, and there’s a lot Boulder Weekly

of income here that could support it,” Rapport says. “But even in other markets, Whole Foods attracts a certain kind of customer, and I think that our customer base in general will be behind this product.” The bars are expected to appear in Whole Foods by the end of July and will sell for $2.50 a bar, Rapport says.

synopses of recent restaurant reviews

To read reviews in their entirety, visit www.boulderweekly.com

un by the same folks who operate the neighboring Arugula Ristorante, the recently opened Tangerine is bound to become a top North Boulder venue for breakfast and lunch. Compared to the brunch bill of fare, Tangerine’s lunch menu is relatively modest, featuring entrée salads such as an albacore nicoise, and classic sandwiches including Reubens and BLTs. The brunch menu is where the action is, as it includes delectably moist lemon ricotta pancakes topped with blueberries, and outstanding chicken and waffles.

Niwot Market 7980 Niwot Rd., Longmont 303-652-0919

$2 OFF

he Niwot Market dishes up a Friday night supper that’s as much a community happening as it is an enjoyably casual dining experience. Menus vary from week to week, so it’s best to call ahead to find out what’s cooking. On some evenings the entrée might be fried chicken or steak, on another night, clam pasta. One recent evening, it was a wonderfully executed barbecue dinner featuring both brisket and ribs, sided with extraordinary collard greens and macaroni and cheese.

othing screams summer time more than cuisine from warmweather climes, cool drinks and al fresco dining, all of which are available at Boulder’s Centro Latin Kitchen and Refreshment Palace. Drawing from Central and South American traditions, Centro serves up ceviche, tacos, tor tas and platters featuring such specialties as decadent chicken enchiladas with an optional fried egg. Other intriguing choices include a suave avocado salsa dip and the Fresno chile lemonade, a spicy-yetrefreshing beverage.

Bácaro Venetian Taverna

921 Pearl St., Boulder 303-444-4888

nder the supervision of Executive Chef Fabio Flagiello, Boulder’s Bácaro Venetian Taverna serves up an assor tment of winning Italian small plates and entrées to a West Pearl Street crowd. Especially notewor thy is their monthly bike ride and lunch, which affords an oppor tunity to sample several menu options. These include first-rate fried calamari sided

with both tangy marinara and luxurious aioli, fresh-flavored bruschetta and wonderfully al dente pasta and risotto.

Zamparelli’s Italian Bistro

Centro Latin Kitchen and Refreshment Palace 950 Pearl St., Boulder 303-442-7771

LUNCH BUFFET

5290 Arapahoe Rd. #B, Boulder (303) 444 1626 www.indiasclayoven.com

2770 Arapahoe Rd., Lafayette 303-664-1275

ruly good Italian-American cooking is surprisingly hard to find locally. That’s a shame, because many crave the simple comforts of garlic bread, an unfussy salad, pasta and an Italian sweet. Fortunately, Lafayette’s Zamparelli’s Italian Bistro rises to the occasion with first-rate interpretations of red sauce standbys. Simple spaghetti and meatballs are a top choice here, as is the chicken marsala. Start with cheesy garlic bread and end with a cannoli, and you’ll have a near iconic meal.

Naraya Thai and Sushi

1575 Folsom St., Boulder 303-447-9718

nder new ownership, Boulder’s Naraya Thai and Sushi occupies the former Siamese Plate space. Though the old proprietor is long gone, the new incarnation provides a similar menu and ambience. The Thai lunch specials are a fine value, providing entrées with a choice of protein in the $7 to $8 price range. Excellent choices include the shrimp Pad Thai and a fine chicken red curry, distinguished by perfectly cooked corn, zucchini and eggplant that retain pleasing texture and fresh, individual flavors.

Ted’s Montana Grill

1701 Pearl St., Boulder 303-449-5546

pecializing in bison-based selections, Ted’s Montana Grill is a culinary endeavor spearheaded by billionaire Ted Turner. The menu straddles the line between straightforward bar food and traditional steakhouse, with such unique offerings as bison nachos and a plethora of burgers and steaks. While not inexpensive, the bison burgers, such as the Blue Creek with blue cheese and bacon, are generously sized and are both lean and flavorful.

Lucky Pie Pizza and Taphouse

637 Front St., Louisville 303-666-5743

he menu at Louisville’s Lucky Pie Pizza and Taphouse consists of a variety of starters, sandwiches, salads and brick oven pizza. Sophisticated starters include winter squash purée and tapenade, and although you’ll find archetypical Italian grinder sandwiches here, there are also roasted veggie selections with smoked mozzarella. The roasted beet salad, which comes with goat cheese and candied pecans, is first rate, as is the Hazel Dell Wild Mushroom pizza, topped with fresh arugula and a whisper of truffle oil.

Radda Trattoria 1265 Alpine Ave., Boulder 303-442-6100

self-proclaimed Tuscan-style neighborhood restaurant, North Boulder’s Radda Trattoria dishes out substantial fare that

retains rustic roots while keeping a sophisticated flair in preparation and ingredient choice. The piccolo fritto appetizer is a triumphant blend of fried zucchini, onion, rock shrimp and citrus, with an appealing preparation style equaling that of the best tempura. The brick-pressed chicken here is a standout, as is the pancetta-laden carbonara.

Two Dog Diner 645 Tenacity Dr., Longmont 303-772-2364

estled in Longmont’s New Urbanist Prospect neighborhood, Two Dog Diner has the feel of a popular locals’ hangout, successfully blending elements of the old and new. Traditional enough to offer blue-plate specials, it’s also forward-thinking enough to make one of these diner classics a platter of grilled fish tacos. Weekend brunch is popular as well, and can’t-miss items include corned beef hash and eggs Benedict specials.

Arabesque 1634 Walnut St., Boulder 720-242-8623

rabesque, open for breakfast and lunch, is the place for some of the most authentic Middle Eastern fare in Boulder. The baba ghanoush is without peer, a melding of roasted eggplant, citrus and olive oil. Arabesque’s chicken shawarma features white-meat poultry with a pleasantly tangy taste. And the cups of thick and potent Arabic coffee make for a fine conclusion to a meal here, especially with the housemade baklava.

Boulder Baked 1911 Broadway, Boulder 303-444-4999

pen from 4 p.m. until midnight, Boulder Baked is a no-frills joint with a slightly funky feel. It’s also one of the best places to enjoy comfort foods such as chili and grilled cheese sandwiches, though baked goods are the star attraction. Can’tmiss selections include the strawberry shortcake cupcake and creamy cheesecake.

Caffè

1720 Pearl St., Boulder 303-442-9464

affè, the newest entry in the Frasca stable, is an affordable spot of topflight light meals, including sandwiches, salads and soup. Coffee drinks made with locally roasted Boxcar beans are above reproach, and beer and wine are also on offer. Highlights include an almond croissant that rivals the finest European examples, and the Crudo, a winning cold sandwich that reflects the shades of the Italian tricolor with its mix of prosciutto, parmigiano, arugula and heirloom tomatoes.

Boulder Weekly

astrology boulderweekly.com/astrology ARIES

March 21-April 19:

I love how the poet Rachel Loden describes her impressions of Daniel Borzutzky’s The Book of Interfering Bodies. She says that reading it is like “chancing upon a secret lake full of trembling lilies that projectile vomit both poems and petroleum.” I call this imaginary scene to your attention, Aries, because I’m wondering if you might encounter a metaphorically similar landscape in the coming week. The astrological omens suggest that you’re attracted to that kind of strange beauty, surreal intensity and tenderness mixed with ferocity.

TAURUS

April 20-May 20:

This would be an excellent time to ripen and fine-tune your independence. Would you be willing to try some experiments in self-sufficiency that would inspire you to love yourself better? Is there anything you could do to upgrade your mastery of taking good care of yourself? By working on your relationship with yourself, you will set in motion a magic that will make you even more attractive to others than you already are.

GEMINI

May 21-June 20:

Even if you don’t usually consider yourself a matchmaker, you could be a pretty good one in the coming week. That’s because you will have more insight than usual about how to combine things in harmonious and evocative ways. In fact, I suspect you will possess a sixth sense about which fragments might fit together to create synergistic wholes. Take maximum advantage of this knack, Gemini. Use it to build connections between parts of your psyche and elements of your world that have not been in close enough touch lately.

CANCER June 21-July 22:

You already know what you need to know in order to make the dicey, spicey transition, Cancerian. Even more amazingly, you already have what you need. But for some reason, you don’t trust what you know and don’t believe you have what you need. So you’re still in a fretful mode, hunting far and wide for the magic key that you think still eludes you. I’m here to persuade you to stop gazing longingly into the distance and stop assuming that help is far away. Look underfoot. Check with what’s right in front of you.

LEO

July 23-Aug. 22:

During my years as a singer in rock bands, I’ve had a theatrical approach to performing. On some occasions, I arrive on stage from the back of the club. Dressed in leather and rags and witchdoctor finery, with a rainbow of fake eagle feathers splayed from my coiffure, I climb into a grocery cart, stand up like a politician giving the V for Victory sign with my outstretched arms and have my bandmates wheel me through the crowd. I highly recommend that you arrange to make an equally splashy entrance in the near future, Leo. Picture yourself arriving at your workplace or classroom or favorite cafe in resplendent glory, maybe even carried on a litter or throne (or in a grocery cart) by your entourage. It would be an excellent way to get yourself in rapt alignment with this week’s flashy, self-celebratory vibes.

VIRGO

Aug. 23-Sept. 22:

When I was 19 years old, I was wounded by a shotgunwielding assailant on the campus of Duke University. A few years ago, I revisited the scene of the crime. For two hours I sat there meditating on the exact spot where I’d been shot. Among the questions I pondered was this: Had there been any benefits that came out of that difficult event? The answer was a definitive YES. I identified several wonderful developments that happened specifically because of how my destiny was altered by the shooting. For instance, I met three lifelong friends I would not have otherwise encountered. My challenge to you, Virgo, is to think back on a dark moment from your past and do what I did: Find the redemption. (Read my full story here: bit.ly/StrangeBlessing.)

LIBRA

Sept. 23-Oct. 22

In her multi-platinum song “Tik Tok,” pop star Ke$ha claims that she brushes her teeth with whiskey — Jack Daniels, to be exact. In interviews, she has said this is not a glamorous fiction or rhetorical device; she really does it. “Jack Daniels is an anti-bacterial,” she told Vanity Fair. You might want to experiment with rituals like that yourself, Libra. At least for the next two weeks or so, it wouldn’t be

Boulder Weekly

totally crazy to keep yourself more or less permanently in a party mood. Why not prep yourself for unfettered fun from the moment the day begins? From an astrological perspective, you need and deserve a phase of intense revelry.

SCORPIO Oct. 23-Nov. 21:

English raconteur Quentin Crisp told the story of a veteran Hollywood film actor giving advice to a younger actor just getting started. “You’re at a level where you can only afford one mistake,” the wise older man said. “The higher up you go, the more mistakes you’re allowed. Right at the top, if you make enough of them, it’s considered to be your style.” I think this perspective is perfect for you to meditate on, Scorpio. The time is ripe to fuel your ambitions and gain more traction in your chosen field. And one of the goals driving you as you do this should be the quest for a greater freedom to play around and experiment and risk making blunders.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21:

I have regular intimate communion with the Divine Wow (formerly known as “God”). Whether I “believe” in my Dear Companion is irrelevant — just as I don’t need to “believe” in a juicy Fuji apple while I’m eating it. That’s why atheists seem to me like goofy kooks, as fundamentalist in their own way as evangelical Christians. They have absolute, unshakable faith that there’s no such thing as our Big Wild Friend. Agnostics I can understand better; they’re like pre-orgasmic virgins who are at least open to the possibility of getting the full treatment. I offer these comments as a prelude to my prediction for you, Sagittarius, which is that you will soon have a very good chance to get up-close and personal with the Divine Wow. (If that offends you because you’re an atheist, no worry. Nothing bad will happen if you turn down the invitation.)

Dec. 22-Jan. 19:

For more than 11 years, a New Jersey man named Jesus Leonardo earned an annual salary of about $45,000 by gathering up and cashing in horse-racing tickets that had been accidentally thrown away by the people who bought them (tinyurl.com/ScrapTreasure). I suggest we make him your role model and patron saint for the coming weeks. Like him, you are in line to capitalize on discarded riches and unappreciated assets. Be on the lookout for the treasure hidden in the trash.

AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18:

You’re now in a phase of your long-term cycle when life will be extra responsive to your vivacious curiosity. That’s why I encourage you to ask riveting questions. Ask whom? God, if that’s your style; your higher self, if that works better; or sources of wisdom and vitality you respect, if you prefer that. Here are four queries to get you started: 1. “What is the most magnificent gift I can give to life in the next three years?” 2. “How can I become more powerful in a way that’s safe and wise?” 3. “How can I cultivate my relationships so that they thrive even as my life keeps changing?” 4. “What can I do that will help me get all the love I need?”

PISCES

Feb. 19-March 20:

I was considering the possibility of getting me and my family members those GPS devices that allow you to locate your car if you’ve forgotten where you parked it. But then I had second thoughts. Wouldn’t that be one additional thing encouraging us to let our memories atrophy? The conveniences that technology provides are wonderful, but at a certain point don’t they start threatening to weaken our brain functions? I invite you to meditate on this issue, Pisces. It’s time to have a talk with yourself about anything — gadgets, comforts, habits — that might be dampening your willpower, compromising your mental acuity or rendering you passive.

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.
