Tuesday May 22, for Silver Warner well known Bike Messenger/artist @ 111 Minna St. 9p - 2a
There will be a large scale benefit art auction for San Francisco
artist Silver Warner at 111 Minna on May 22nd. Silver was born and
raised in SF and has been a bike messenger since 1991. His
photography is often featured in Hamburger Eyes and has been in many
publications from Tokion to Nylon (issue out now). He has also been a
part of numerous gallery shows across the U.S. and in Europe and
Japan. Aside from the art world, Silver has been an icon in
underground street art putting out some of the seminal 'zines to come
from the bay area over the last 15 years. Recently Silver lost a
lifetimes worth of photos, art, and an immense collection of lovable
nonsense to fire. He is also facing a difficult reentry into society
having no bike, camera or savings. Featured artists will include
Mike Giant, Tahiti, UFO, Sam Flores, Oze 108, Doyle, ReLoad Bags, and
many, many famous and incredible artists. 9pm-2am. $5 donation.

The Bay Area Derby Girls need your help
The Derby Girls can't compete where they've been competing any longer
because too many people have been coming to watch and the location doesn't
have the correct permits to support that many people. It seems as if
another location has been secured but the catch is, the Derby Girls will
need to provide their own floor surface. And floors aren't cheap.
Therefore, the B.A.D. Girls are holding a fundraiser this Thursday, May 24th
at DNA to raise money for a sport court. It's a late night adventure
(door open at 9pm, show starts at 11pm). There will be skating by current
team members and great performances such as. Devilettes Paige's Skate Tease
Bottoms Up Burlesque Bombshell Betty The Indra And photos with the Derby

the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government
interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this
is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is."

Reframing Environmental Messages to be Congruent with American Values
Prior research has explored the relationship between values, attitudes about environmental issues, and pro-environmental behavior. These studies have shown a consistent pattern of results - individuals who value self-transcendent life goals tend to care more about environmental problems, favor environmental protection over economic growth, and engage in more proenvironmental behavior. In contrast, individuals who value self-enhancing life goals tend to hold more egoistic concerns about environmental issues, tend to favor economic growth over environmental protection, and tend to engage in fewer environmental behaviors. Research on American values suggests that overall, people in the U.S. tend to hold strong self-enhancing values. These self-enhancing values have largely been considered incongruous with the values that lead to environmental concern and to environmental behavior. In this paper, we synthesize the past research on the relationship between values and environmental behavior. Lessons from the Biodiversity Project are used to illustrate efforts to create effective value-based environmental messages.

GoogleMap: tinyurl.com/t6pcc
more details: www.uas.coop/node/541
Come absorb some of the most insightful films, documentaries and commentaries across a wide spectrum of relevant topics of today and tomorrow. Urban Alliance for Sustainability's Green Movie Night provides a casual space for you to meet others in the local sustainability movement and encourages lively, open discussion. Local organizations working on the theme of the month participate in a Q/A discussion with the goal of creating effective collaborations and solutions. Afterwards, conversation continues down the block at Elixir (www.elixirsf.com), a Green-Certified business offering Green Movie Night attendees $1 off any organic beer, wine or mixed drink with your ticket stub.
Movie Night Details:
Doors open at 6pm, speakers and film start at 6:30pm. Seating is limited and we'll start promptly so you are encouraged to come early. Admission is $8 or $4 for students/seniors, payable at the Roxie box office two doors down.
This month UAS is honored to co-host Green Movie Night with special guests Odin Zackman of Dig In and Katrina Zavalney of City Repair (www.cityrepair.org).
Movie Description:
Earth Walls: Cob and Straw Bale Construction in Wisconsin
Organizers, entrepreneurs, and community volunteers at Madison's Willy St. Co-op and in rural Wisconsin build with cob for a community place-making project. Participants celebrate the fun of natural building and talk about how to change conventional construction so that similar projects can catch on in cities. Includes demonstrations of foundations, cob mixing and wall-building, and lime plastering.
Placemaking: An Antidote to Sprawl
Placemaking--local efforts involving residents, city government, the business community, and other stakeholders to identify and revitalize underutilized public spaces--can provide a framework for design improvements that will transform a community's public spaces into a network of vital, comfortable community places. The process upgrades existing public spaces through small-scale, short-term projects such as traffic calming, pedestrian improvements and street furniture. In partnership with Livable Oregon, The Project for Public Spaces conducted placemaking workshops in cities and towns across the state of Oregon, and this 15-minute video uses these towns as case studies to illustrate the principles of placemaking.
About Urban Alliance for Sustainability (UAS):
UAS seeks to integrate and inspire the sustainability movement in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. By returning focus to solutions instead of problem statements, UAS hopes to activate the energy of those individuals and organizations that are feeling overwhelmed or helpless in this currently unsustainable world.

DIVE BAR is a new monthly event from the producers of Kinky Salon, Americas Most Loved Sex-Positive Community dedicated to Bohemian Decadence, Sustainable Hedonism and Lusty Creativity
Been dying to try out those new POP n LOCK dance moves?
Looking for an occasion to wear that gold leather hotpant/ fringed Iron Maiden T-shirt combo?
Fond of that booze-flavored liquor with the alcoholic after-taste?
..YOULL LOVE :Kinky Salon DIVE BAR- a night you'll never forget unless you're too drunk to remember (tm)
FEATURING:
- Fierce and fabulous bartenders
- All night drink specials
- Hot freaks in tiny outfits
- HOLY CR*P-I-Cant-Stop-Dancing music
- That KS brand of FRIENDLY-FLIRTY
- UNDERGROUND SF: a painstakingly researched and constructed niteclub made to resemble a hole-in- the- wall. Sure to please even the most jaded of divebar connoisseurs.

Mash Up Mayhem ALL NIGHT LONG
FEATURING MATT HITE (www.beatmixed.com) AND DJ TRIPP (www.bass211.com)
The atmosphere is lurker-free with a strict dress code that keeps out most potential vibe-killers. Kinky Salon is a sex-positive, respectful, super tolerant, queer friendly, positive scene! Dress to impress/digress if you expect to get into this event. No matter how expensive those jeans are, you aint getting in unless your outfit has a large dose of creativity, color or humor.

See www.kinkysalon.com for more info about KS policy
PLEASE NOTE: Kinky Salon in NO WAY promotes the excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages, immoderate intake of substances or the indulgence of anything that is illegal, immoral or otherwise ill-advised. Also, we expressly do not promote moderation. We actually find our trademarked tagline to be of questionable taste and quite frankly, offensive. We actually revere the sacredness of alcohol as the true sacrament it once was, held high in mighty chalices by scantily clad Dionysian preists and priestesses with heaving bosoms..in celebration of Divine Madness, Ekstasis Divinitus not unlike those fleeting moments where we find ourselves lost in seas of writhing, beautiful bodies..invoking booty shaking pleasures in mutual electronic harmony

Repairing California Democracy: Challenges and Solutions
Tuesday, May 22, 2007 Noon to 1:30 p.m. Light lunch will be provided
Library and Courts Building I 5th Floor 914 Capitol Mall Sacramento, California 95814
Featuring: Steven Hill Director, Political Reform Program
New America Foundation Author: "10 Steps to Repair American Democracy"
There is a widening breach between most of the 35 million people residing in California and the fewer than 9 million who actually vote. Seven million Californians are eligible to vote but for one reason or another don’t bother. A small group of frequent voters -- who are richer, whiter, older and hold different opinions on education, social spending, Prop.13, and more compared to their nonvoting neighbors -- form the majority that decides which candidates win and which ballot measures pass.
Thus, two Californias have emerged -- a small group that votes and an even larger group that does not, with only one side electing political leaders who divide up the pie. The crucial challenge for California’s future is, how do we open up our political system so that it turns the non-voters into voters, and appeals to the broad interests of all Californians? What political reforms will allow California to realize its promise? Will redistricting reform accomplish it? If not, what other reforms are needed?
Please RSVP to bustamante @ newamerica.net or call 916-448-5189 if you have any questions.
New America Foundation is an independent, nonpartisan public policy institute based in Sacramento and Washington, DC. With generous support from the James Irvine Foundation, its purpose is to bring exceptionally promising new voices and ideas to the fore of our nation's—and California’s—public discourse.

NO GAS...On May 15th 2007
Don't pump gas on may 15th
...in April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.
On May 15th 2007, all internet users are to not go to a gas station in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in most places.
There are 73,000,000+ American members currently on the internet network, and the average car takes about 30 to 50 dollars to fill up.
If all users did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take
$2,292,000,000.00 (that's almost 3 BILLION) out of the oil companys pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station on May 15th and lets try to put a dent in the Middle Eastern oil industry for at least one day.
If yo u agree (which I cant see why you wouldnt) resend this to all your contact list. With it saying, ''Don't pump gas on May 15th"
EXTRA CREDIT: do not pump gas the next day or the next week.
MORE CREDIT: walk, bike, carpool, consolidate your errands.
THINK more. Consume less.

Pools for Berkeley is exploring the idea to build an aquatic center, possibly at the site of the former Adult School on University -- that would be heated, open year-round, have a circular slide, a jacuzzi, and other bells and whistles for kids and adults. We'd like to incorporate as many "green-building" practices as possible (solar, etc.)
There'll be a meeting to hear and discuss possibilities. Please come and
contribute your ideas! Tue May 15 at 7 pm

**RSVP REQUIRED**
What: Introduction to Personal Evolution
When: Tuesday, May 15th, 7:00pm to 9:30pm
Where:The Arete Center for Excellence in SF
Have you found "personal development" to be incomplete? Have you found "transformation" to be lacking in its ability to last in your life? The perhaps you are ready for Personal Evolution...
Is there something stopping you from reaching your full potential? Something elusive you can’t quite identify? Do you experience something in the way of you having the kind of life you want and deserve? Does fear, anger, sadness, shame, guilt or for some, even grief, weigh you down unnecessarily? Do you often take things personally? Do you find yourself acting in reaction against, or in continuation of the patterns your parents demonstrated?
You would like to be free from significantly negative emotional events from your past? Truly free—to such a degree you are even grateful for them? Would you like to have a greater understanding of the power of your mind and the minds of those around you?
Have you attended personal development events and found them useful, but ultimately unfulfilling? Have you experienced “transformation”, but found it ultimately unpredictable or unsustainable without a rigorous community?
Would you be interested in freeing up so much of your essence that you were able live your life’s purpose—and prosper from it?
If you answered yes to any of that, join me for this free event.

Thu May 17 6pm UAS Green Movie Night -5/17- Earth Walls & Placemaking
Urban Alliance for Sustainability Green Movie Night
Earth Walls: Cob and Straw Bale Construction in Wisconsin
& Placemaking: An Antidote to Sprawl
Thursday, May 17 doors @ 6pm, movie @ 6:30, discussion to follow
Little Roxie Theater 3125 16th St @ Valencia / Guererro
GoogleMap: tinyurl.com/t6pcc
more details: www.uas.coop/node/541
Come absorb some of the most insightful films, documentaries and commentaries across a wide spectrum of relevant topics of today and tomorrow. Urban Alliance for Sustainability's Green Movie Night provides a casual space for you to meet others in the local sustainability movement and encourages lively, open discussion. Local organizations working on the theme of the month participate in a Q/A discussion with the goal of creating effective collaborations and solutions. Afterwards, conversation continues down the block at Elixir (www.elixirsf.com), a Green-Certified business offering Green Movie Night attendees $1 off any organic beer, wine or mixed drink with your ticket stub.
Movie Night Details:
Doors open at 6pm, speakers and film start at 6:30pm. Seating is limited and we'll start promptly so you are encouraged to come early. Admission is $8 or $4 for students/seniors, payable at the Roxie box office two doors down.
This month UAS is honored to co-host Green Movie Night with special guests Odin Zackman of Dig In and Katrina Zavalney of City Repair (www.cityrepair.org).
Movie Description:
Earth Walls: Cob and Straw Bale Construction in Wisconsin
Organizers, entrepreneurs, and community volunteers at Madison's Willy St. Co-op and in rural Wisconsin build with cob for a community place-making project. Participants celebrate the fun of natural building and talk about how to change conventional construction so that similar projects can catch on in cities. Includes demonstrations of foundations, cob mixing and wall-building, and lime plastering.
Placemaking: An Antidote to Sprawl
Placemaking--local efforts involving residents, city government, the business community, and other stakeholders to identify and revitalize underutilized public spaces--can provide a framework for design improvements that will transform a community's public spaces into a network of vital, comfortable community places. The process upgrades existing public spaces through small-scale, short-term projects such as traffic calming, pedestrian improvements and street furniture. In partnership with Livable Oregon, The Project for Public Spaces conducted placemaking workshops in cities and towns across the state of Oregon, and this 15-minute video uses these towns as case studies to illustrate the principles of placemaking.
About Urban Alliance for Sustainability (UAS):
UAS seeks to integrate and inspire the sustainability movement in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. By returning focus to solutions instead of problem statements, UAS hopes to activate the energy of those individuals and organizations that are feeling overwhelmed or helpless in this currently unsustainable world.

Repairing California Democracy: Challenges and Solutions
Tuesday, May 22, 2007 Noon to 1:30 p.m. Light lunch will be provided
Library and Courts Building I 5th Floor 914 Capitol Mall Sacramento, California 95814
Featuring: Steven Hill Director, Political Reform Program
New America Foundation Author: "10 Steps to Repair American Democracy"
There is a widening breach between most of the 35 million people residing in California and the fewer than 9 million who actually vote. Seven million Californians are eligible to vote but for one reason or another don’t bother. A small group of frequent voters -- who are richer, whiter, older and hold different opinions on education, social spending, Prop.13, and more compared to their nonvoting neighbors -- form the majority that decides which candidates win and which ballot measures pass.
Thus, two Californias have emerged -- a small group that votes and an even larger group that does not, with only one side electing political leaders who divide up the pie. The crucial challenge for California’s future is, how do we open up our political system so that it turns the non-voters into voters, and appeals to the broad interests of all Californians? What political reforms will allow California to realize its promise? Will redistricting reform accomplish it? If not, what other reforms are needed?
Please RSVP to bustamante @ newamerica.net or call 916-448-5189 if you have any questions.
New America Foundation is an independent, nonpartisan public policy institute based in Sacramento and Washington, DC. With generous support from the James Irvine Foundation, its purpose is to bring exceptionally promising new voices and ideas to the fore of our nation's—and California’s—public discourse.

On June 8, 1967, the Israeli Air Force attacked and almost sank the USS Liberty. 34 American sailors lost their lives and 174 were wounded. That was also the date the cover-up began, and the survivors need help even now to gain the recognition and rights that have been denied to them.

An Introduction to War Tax Resistance Thur May 10 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Unitarian Universalists of San Mateo 300 E. Santa Inez San Mateo, CA 94402
Speaker Mike Caggiano smpa [at] sanmateopeaceaction.org 510-843-9877
Do you oppose the war? Why help pay for it?
More than half of our federal income taxes are used for militarism, but for people whose conscience will not allow them to willingly support war and military funding, there may be an answer. On Thursday evening, May 10, find out more about how to conduct this form of conscientious objection.
Peace Action of San Mateo County will host Susan Quinlan from Northern California War Tax Resistance, who will talk about the variety of ways we as citizens can avoid paying taxes that support our country's war effort. Whether income or long distance phone tax, there are ways for citizens to follow their conscience and avoid - initially at least - supporting situations such as the disastrous Iraq war and occupation and the possible duplication in Iran. Many of these methods are completely legal.
The presentation will include a slide show, personal stories, methods and consequences, questions and answers. There will be a variety of literature available as well.
Topics will include:
- Creative legal protests
- Refusing to pay all or part of federal taxes
- Possible consequences of this form of civil disobedience
- Living below the level of taxable income
- Phone tax resistance
- Redirecting resisted taxes to local alternative funds and/or community organizations
- Local support networks for war tax resisters
Come find out about the what, why and how of war tax resistance - just one more way to oppose the war and militarism in general.

NO GAS...On May 15th 2007
Don't pump gas on may 15th
...in April 1997, there was a "gas out" conducted nationwide in protest of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.
On May 15th 2007, all internet users are to not go to a gas station in protest of high gas prices. Gas is now over $3.00 a gallon in most places.
There are 73,000,000+ American members currently on the internet network, and the average car takes about 30 to 50 dollars to fill up.
If all users did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take
$2,292,000,000.00 (that's almost 3 BILLION) out of the oil companys pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the gas station on May 15th and lets try to put a dent in the Middle Eastern oil industry for at least one day.
If yo u agree (which I cant see why you wouldnt) resend this to all your contact list. With it saying, ''Don't pump gas on May 15th"
EXTRA CREDIT: do not pump gas the next day or the next week.
MORE CREDIT: walk, bike, carpool, consolidate your errands.
THINK more. Consume less.

Tue May 15 at 7 pm
Pools for Berkeley is exploring the idea to build an aquatic center, possibly at the site of the former Adult School on University -- that would be heated, open year-round, have a circular slide, a jacuzzi, and other bells and whistles for kids and adults. We'd like to incorporate as many "green-building" practices as possible (solar, etc.)
There'll be a meeting to hear and discuss possibilities. Please come and
contribute your ideas! Tue May 15 at 7 pm

)'( What: "BBQ A NEWBIE" Pic-i-nic. )'(
*Where: Pioneer Log Cabin, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco.
*When: SATURDAY JUNE 16th, 2007, 11am-6pm.
*How: By Car, Bike, Bus or Foot. The Log Cabin area is plainly visible
from the 'Y' where Stowe Lake Drive branches off of JFK. It is just to
the west of the new DeYoung.
*Due to the new saturday parking policy in GGP, JFK will be closed
near our site, this could impact parking, so it is recommended that
you take tranist or carpool. Riding your bike is great too, especially
if you are carrying a covered dish. And less cars is more green,

Community Garden Bike Tour: Where Do Organic Veggies Come From?
After surveying, smelling, and tasting the bounty of local organic farms at the Ferry Building Farmer's Market, we'll pedal through the streets towards three SF community gardens ending at the lovely Garden for the Environment (GFE) at 7th Ave. and Lawton. We'll arrive at the GFE in time for a short lecture on composting, chock full of the info you need to produce the "black gold" that is the basis of healthy soil for growing veggies, all the while saving money and preventing organic waste from ending up in the landfill. After that, it's time to enjoy the peace of the Garden. This joint project of the Garden for the Environment, the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, and SFGRO is FREE. Pre-registration is requested. Call the GFE at 415.731.5627 or email:info@gardenfortheenvironment.org to pre-register or for more information.

Public Display of Affection Sat May 5th, 1-4 pm
Dolores Park, on the hill below the playground- look for the green and pink group
Continuing the annual tradition of an uplifting, sexy, public, social art project for May Day (Beltane, Spring, etc.), you are invited to come make a Public Display of Affection. Artist/participants will be meeting on the hill on the south side of Dolores Park, dressing with at least one prominent item of clothing/costume in pink and/or green (pink for sweetness and blushes, green for the heart chakra and Spring) and asked to bring a blanket. Signs with slogans such as "I am here to hug you", "cuddle whore", or "free kisses" or bite-sized snacks are also welcome. Participant/Artists will be hugging, petting, hand-holding, cuddling and kissing, to each individual's comfort level and with polite verbal consent, whomever wants to come play. Respect for each other's boundaries is crucial. We will be holding a space for physical affection in a public place and making a colorful and playful tribute to get our basic needs for touch, community interaction and acceptance, and open intimacy and sweetness, met. No nudity required or predatory or aggressive behavior tolerated, this is all about comfort, play and sharing. The event will be documented on film, feel free to wear a mask or ask not to be photographed. We may get ice cream after.
What to bring:
yourself!
people you like to share affection with
fun/sexy pink and/or green clothing
cute inviting signs about what you want to share with people
blankets
yummy snacks/water
and maybe some bubbles, or an instrument to play
nothing required, just suggestions, come join us!

5/5 2pm Cinco de Playa Day:Ocean Beach Cleanup details
Hello beach lovers!
Next Saturday, May 5th, Burners without Borders, DPW and others will gather
for our monthly Ocean Beach Cleanup event. Though we usually do so on the
1st Sunday of the month, the 1st Saturday just so happens to be nationwide
Cinco de Playa day. People near and far will gather to clean up a beach
front, lake front, river front, or any front of a body of water. We have
events occurring from Coney Island to Chicago to San Francisco and I think
even one in Europe! Hence the 5th of May will be our cleanup fiesta for the
month. We will gather at 2pm near stairwell 20, by the "Fire Bloom". It is
a steel fire pit resembling a flower. Look for the orange, red, and yellow
fire flag. While we usually bring along some bagels and schmear, that is
just not festive enough for Cinco de Mayo...ahem...Playa, so we propose a
pot luck! Bring out some goodies to celebrate such a wonderful day of
nationwide, indeed worldwide, efforts! And at the end, we will light up the
bloom. I'll bet you can smell the guacamole and salsa now!...The
smores!...The sweat and ash! Whoa, I'm getting dizzy from the excitement..
Please remember that Ocean Beach does not allow alcohol. We do not condone
or provide it, but if you decide to bring it anyway, keep it on the DL and
you're on your own with the authorities. Please leave our group's name out
of it and please don't make us look bad after all of our efforts! Remember
to bring sunscreen, work gloves and layers for the varying beach temps and
wind. We'll have some water on hand but if you prefer the bottled stuff,
you should bring your own.
I look forward to a wonderful day with you! Please spread the word!
Much gratitude, -Austintatious

"Suppose one little old lady in ten carries a gun. Suppose that one in ten of those, if attacked by a mugger, succeeds in killing the mugger instead of being killed by him -- or shooting herself in the foot. On average, the mugger is much more likely to win the encounter than the little old lady. But -- also on average -- every hundred muggings produces one dead mugger. At those odds, mugging is an unprofitable business -- not many little old ladies carry enough money to justify one chance in a hundred of being killed getting it. The number of muggers declines drastically, not because they have all been killed but because they have, rationally, sought safer professions."

Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, Rep. Elbridge Gerry

"... but if circumstances should at any time oblige the government to
form an army of any magnitude, that army can never be formidable to the
liberties of the people, while there is a large body of citizens, little
if at all inferior to them in discipline and use of arms, who stand
ready to defend their rights..."
-- Alexander Hamilton
(1757-1804)
Source: Federalist, No. 29
quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_...te.B32F

"The highest number to which a standing army can be carried
in any country does not exceed one hundredth part of the souls,
or one twenty-fifth part of the number able to bear arms.
This portion would not yield, in the United States,
an army of more than twenty-five or thirty thousand men.
To these would be opposed a militia amounting to near
half a million citizens with arms in their hands,
officered by men chosen from among themselves,
fighting for their common liberties and united and conducted
by governments possessing their affections and confidence.
It may well be doubted whether a militia thus circumstanced
could ever be conquered by such a proportion of regular troops.
Besides the advantage of being armed, it forms a barrier
against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable
than any which a simple government of any form can admit of.
The governments of Europe are afraid to trust the people with arms.
If they did, the people would surely shake off the yoke of tyranny,
as America did. Let us not insult the free and gallant citizens
of America with the suspicion that they would be less able to defend
the rights of which they would be in actual possession than
the debased subjects of arbitrary power would be to rescue
theirs from the hands of their oppressors."
-- James Madison
(1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President
quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_...te.C88A

"What, Sir, is the use of a militia?
It is to prevent the establishment
of a standing army, the bane of liberty. ...
Whenever Governments mean to invade
the rights and liberties of the people,
they always attempt to destroy the militia,
in order to raise an army upon their ruins."
-- Rep. Elbridge Gerry
(1744-1814) of Massachusetts, Signer of the Declaration of Independence and Member of the Constitutional Convention

The UCB-BP deal: implications for the public university
Wednesday, May 2, 7pm
Hillside Club, 2286 Cedar Street (between Spruce and Arch), Berkeley
The University of California recently announced that it is signing a
$500M deal with the oil company BP, to establish a research center on
bioenergy, in collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
and University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. The main focus of this
research center would be to develop biofuels, a technology that is
presented as holding great promise for reducing our emissions of
greenhouse gases. Yet, many scientists believe that biofuels are far
from carbon-neutral and may actually exacerbate environmental and
socio-economic problems (a topic discussed at our first teach-in on
April 26). This deal is also the largest agreement ever between a
university and a corporation, and could affect the role and functioning
of UC Berkeley in important ways.
*What is this BP deal about, and how might it affect the independence
and functioning of the public university?
*What are better ways to structure University funding?

After surveying, smelling, and tasting the bounty of local organic farms at the Ferry Building Farmer's Market, we'll pedal through the streets towards three SF community gardens ending at the lovely Garden for the Environment (GFE) at 7th Ave. and Lawton. We'll arrive at the GFE in time for a short lecture on composting, chock full of the info you need to produce the "black gold" that is the basis of healthy soil for growing veggies, all the while saving money and preventing organic waste from ending up in the landfill. After that, it's time to enjoy the peace of the Garden. This joint project of the Garden for the Environment, the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, and SFGRO is FREE. Pre-registration is requested.

Public Display of Affection Sat May 5th, 1-4 pm
Dolores Park, on the hill below the playground- look for the green and pink group
Continuing the annual tradition of an uplifting, sexy, public, social art project for May Day (Beltane, Spring, etc.), you are invited to come make a Public Display of Affection. Artist/participants will be meeting on the hill on the south side of Dolores Park, dressing with at least one prominent item of clothing/costume in pink and/or green (pink for sweetness and blushes, green for the heart chakra and Spring) and asked to bring a blanket. Signs with slogans such as "I am here to hug you", "cuddle whore", or "free kisses" or bite-sized snacks are also welcome. Participant/Artists will be hugging, petting, hand-holding, cuddling and kissing, to each individual's comfort level and with polite verbal consent, whomever wants to come play. Respect for each other's boundaries is crucial. We will be holding a space for physical affection in a public place and making a colorful and playful tribute to get our basic needs for touch, community interaction and acceptance, and open intimacy and sweetness, met. No nudity required or predatory or aggressive behavior tolerated, this is all about comfort, play and sharing. The event will be documented on film, feel free to wear a mask or ask not to be photographed. We may get ice cream after.
What to bring:
yourself!
people you like to share affection with
fun/sexy pink and/or green clothing
cute inviting signs about what you want to share with people
blankets
yummy snacks/water
and maybe some bubbles, or an instrument to play

5/5 2pm Cinco de Playa Day:Ocean Beach Cleanup details
Hello beach lovers!
Next Saturday, May 5th, Burners without Borders, DPW and others will gather
for our monthly Ocean Beach Cleanup event. Though we usually do so on the
1st Sunday of the month, the 1st Saturday just so happens to be nationwide
Cinco de Playa day. People near and far will gather to clean up a beach
front, lake front, river front, or any front of a body of water. We have
events occurring from Coney Island to Chicago to San Francisco and I think
even one in Europe! Hence the 5th of May will be our cleanup fiesta for the
month. We will gather at 2pm near stairwell 20, by the "Fire Bloom". It is
a steel fire pit resembling a flower. Look for the orange, red, and yellow
fire flag. While we usually bring along some bagels and schmear, that is
just not festive enough for Cinco de Mayo...ahem...Playa, so we propose a
pot luck! Bring out some goodies to celebrate such a wonderful day of
nationwide, indeed worldwide, efforts! And at the end, we will light up the
bloom. I'll bet you can smell the guacamole and salsa now!...The
smores!...The sweat and ash! Whoa, I'm getting dizzy from the excitement..
Please remember that Ocean Beach does not allow alcohol. We do not condone
or provide it, but if you decide to bring it anyway, keep it on the DL and
you're on your own with the authorities. Please leave our group's name out
of it and please don't make us look bad after all of our efforts! Remember
to bring sunscreen, work gloves and layers for the varying beach temps and
wind. We'll have some water on hand but if you prefer the bottled stuff,
you should bring your own.
I look forward to a wonderful day with you! Please spread the word!
Much gratitude, -Austintatious

www.mothering.com/articles/...cines.html

FDA is "working over" the availability of vitamin, mineral and other supplements.
There is a crisis in health freedom. On April 30, 2007 the FDA will close the public comment period on a "Guidance" which will classify every alternative practice as medicine so that only licensed physicians can carry out the procedure AND vitamins, minerals, herbs, etc., will suddenly become "untested drugs" which will be forbidden.
Bad? Real Bad! But public outcry can stop this assault on your health and your freedom.
Spread the word! Tell everyone in your Circle of Influence, professionals, alternative practitioners, nutrient and herb companies, everyone! Let them know how important their participation is to make sure the FDA backs off from this repressive course.
Please share this link with them and urge them to take action:

The Court of OneTaste petitions you to attend a trial...
This Friday night, come hear the confessions of
Orgasmic Women. They have gone against society by
pursuing Orgasm, disregarding rigid convention and
morality. Following the path of raw sensation, they
have discovered new possibilities deemed unacceptable
to conventional society. Now all their pleasures will
be heard in trial.
Surrender, and let their energy lead you through
dance, performance and art, into the realm of the
senses. Connect with authentic and engaged community
and let your senses come alive.
Immerse yourself in the ride when you witness a woman
in orgasm for 30 minutes, and experience pleasure like
you never have before. Performances by: Suidcide girl-Nixon

Contact NPC for more information 621-3260 More Information:
NPCs 2006 Playground Report Card, a survey of all 144 playgrounds in
San Francisco, gave each playground a letter grade.
The survey found 30 playgrounds didn't meet minimum standards.
These low scoring playgrounds inspired NPC and RPD to form a
partnership with volunteers at each playground to raise the grades.
This on-going partnership will run on two-year cycles: the first year will
be spent assessing and grading the playgrounds, and during the following
year, necessary repairs and maintenance will be completed to raise the
grade of the low-scoring playgrounds.

Sat 04/28 10:30am–12:00pm spell "IMPEACH" with human bodies on OCEAN BEACH
OCEAN BEACH: This time we're shooting for 2,000 people (the Park Service has
all-but-sworn that they'll issue the permit, but it is not yet in my hand). This
time we'll probably spell out "IMPEACH..." in 100-foot letters followed by
"NOW!" in slightly larger letters: "IMPEACH... NOW!"
Our exact message will depend on how big a crowd we've got registered. In
January, 90% of the attendees registered during the ten days prior to the event.
So, am I worried that right now, three weeks ahead of the event, we've only got
278 people registered? No, I'm not worried -- half the time I'm absolutely
terrified. I've got a helicopter reserved, a photographer lined up, volunteers
willing to help outline the letters that morning (this thing's going to stretch
600-700 feet across the beach!), and I spend every night dreaming my old
wrestling-an-octopus-underwater dream. In my better moments, however, I do feel
surrendered to whatever outcome transpires...
But no matter how many people turn out that day, I intend a PEACEFUL event!
While the first Beach Impeach was indeed a powerful statement, most of the
attendees (including me) felt that it was the most peaceful and gentle protest
they'd ever attended -- in fact, it was one of the more peaceful and enjoyable
days of many of our lives. No speeches, no harangues (no one needs convincing
any more), just 1,000 citizens (and dogs) quietly lying down together to draw a
line in the sand and send a message to the world. And I intend that April 28 be
the same way. I've received numerous suggestions that this time around we have
speakers, or that we spell out a stronger statement (several votes for the
f-word), but that's not the deal. Expect laughter, camaraderie, the woosh of the
ocean, and for a while the chatter of a helicopter or two or three...? (The
weather in January was perfect -- windless, cloudless, sixty-five degrees -- and
while we of course must take whatever weather we get this time around, it sure
would be nice to have a repeat.) To register please visit:

IMPEACH ON THE BEACH & you can even keep your clothes on!
We'd like to remind you once again about the event this coming Saturday morning, when a bunch of folks will be spelling out with their bodies "IMPEACH NOW!" lying on the sand at Ocean Beach in San Francisco. We are sure that some of you will want to be part of this historic event! It certainly is an idea whose time has come, and it should be a lot of fun. If you go, plan to be there by 10:30 AM. Organizers are estimating it will only take about half an hour. Aerial photographs are being taken at 11:00, so it's important to be there on time. We hope you can make it!

Sat April 28 2PM Animal Minds, with Dr. Sam Gosling
Part of Mind Matters: Exploring the Animal Mind
Spring Lecture Series – 2pm April 28, May 5, and June 9 3601 Lyon @ Lombard, SF, CA
Beginning April 28, the Exploratorium presents Mind Matters: Exploring the Animal Mind, a three-program Spring lecture series that investigates the latest research and knowledge about how non-human animals' minds are similar to and different from human minds. This series anticipates a new exhibit section Mind: Attention, Emotion, and Judgment, scheduled to open at the Exploratorium in October 2007. This month, Dr. Sam Gosling draws from his research on spotted hyenas, dogs, chimpanzees, squid, and humans to examine the ways in which personality can be measured in non-human animals. This event is included in the price of admission to the Exploratorium.

4/28 7pm Check out the Topsy Turvy School Bus Sat Night in Oakland
So Flash, Tom Kennedy, CyberSam, Dana Albany, and others have been spending months on this art project for Ben Cohen of Ben and Jerry's new political project: Sensible Priorities
www.sensiblepriorities.org/topsy.php
This is the only public chance to check out their fine sculpture work before it heads to the East coast. Should be great fun and I'll be there.
If you missed the Chron article on it, then read this:
www.sensiblepriorities.org/pres...e.php
This Saturday!!!!!! 7 PM
1960 Mandela Parkway, Oakland, at Mandela and 20th st.
(really close to NIMBY)
The bus would be honored to receive visitors on Saturday Evening!
We can also ride around in it! If too many people show up, we can
either ride around in shifts, or pile the extra people in art cars and
make it a procession (no permits needed for processions!).
Once we finally go for a ride I would like to go across the bridge
into the Haight and stop at the Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Parlor there,
to pay homage to the ice cream gods. All other good ideas for
hit and run fun photo op stops will be considered. It will be fun!
So yes, invite all appropriate art car tribal members.
We will also be inviting the crew that helped to build the bus,
and it will be exciting to introduce people to new and old friends.

More Info: www.HowWeird.org 11:11 am till 5:55 pm

8th annual HOW WEIRD STREET FAIRE Sunday, May 6, 2007 11:11 am to 5:55 pm
For information, visit regularly - www.HowWeird.org
It's Weirdo de Mayo, and the beginning of the outdoor events season! For
the last time, Howard Street will be transformed into a festival for
peace. Due to its overwhelming success, the How Weird Street Faire is
being forced to relocate. So we're going out in style... showcasing some
of the most creative art, music, and performances in America!
Music provided by CCC, Sunset, Tantra, Symbiosis, Earthdance, Lowpro
Lounge, Dub Beautiful, False Profit, and Music Without Borders (Get
Freaky, Muti Music, and Raindance)! Art and decor by Anon Salon.
The How Weird Street Faire is centered at Howard and 12th Street, in the
SOMA district of San Francisco. At that intersection, there will be a
mandala made of grass – the world's only urban crop circle – where
festival-goers can relax, connect, and learn about fostering peace.
Please bike or take public transportation to the faire. There will be a
bike valet service provided by the SF Bicycle Coalition. The faire is
located two blocks south of Market Street & Van Ness.
Entrance at 12th Street and South Van Ness, San Francisco, Earth.
Requested donation of $5 in costume, or $10 without (kids free).
All ages welcome. Colorful costumes strongly encouraged!
All proceeds benefit two Bay Area non-profit organizations.

Giuliani Caught In Bizarre Building 7 Lie
Claims WTC 7 collapsed in stages, Kerry Building 7 admission explodes on You Tube popularity charts
Rudy Giuliani has been caught in a bizarre lie about WTC 7, in which he claims the building collapsed in stages over a sustained period of time, when in reality the structure fell in under seven seconds. Giuliani also reveals that he expected the twin towers to collapse but "not in the way they did."

Looks like Popular Mechanics is not going to post my comment
www.popularmechanics.com/blogs...5.html
I pointed out how it was that Popular Mechanics bowed out of a discussion that they couldn't win when they got cuaght in a completely absurd fabrication in a live interview. Anyone who listens to this would be a fool to rely on them as any sort of authority.
I suggested that people just listen to this interview:
www.youtube.com/watch
This is the magic sword to use any time anyone brings up Popular Mechanics. Let them try and spin this!!
Popular Mechanics attacked oilempire.us in its March 2005 story on the 9/11 "truth" movement, but forgot about oilempire.us when its book length treatment of the issue was published for the fifth anniversary (Sept. 2006).
I guess PM / Hearst didn't appreciate the coverage at

Corn ethanol: higher food prices.
www.glrc.org/story.php3
Some people are warning there are hidden costs to the drive for ethanol.
The demand for corn-based ethanol for fuel has pushed the price of corn
close to the highest price it's been in 10 years.
Great Lakes Radio Consortium, Michigan. 23 April 2007.


Corn ethanol: more water pollution.
www.glrc.org/story.php3
Corn needs a lot more nitrogen fertilizer than other crops. And when it
rains, nitrogen moves quickly from the fields to the waterways, especially
when grass strips don't filter the runoff.

Most people, when asked if they would prefer a window in their workspace, say yes. Why then is it so uncommon to see commercial buildings designed with operable windows? Many regions of California have a climate that is suitable for natural ventilation, but naturally cooled buildings are uncommon. This half-day forum will explore these questions and real world examples of buildings that integrate natural ventilation and HVAC systems through a series of presentations by a researcher, an architect, and a mechanical engineer. The focus will be on design and operation of mixed-mode buildings that integrate both natural ventilation and mechanical heating/cooling.

Party: Confessions of an Orgasmic Woman Friday 4/27 8pm
The Court of OneTaste petitions you to attend a trial...
This Friday night, come hear the confessions of
Orgasmic Women. They have gone against society by
pursuing Orgasm, disregarding rigid convention and
morality. Following the path of raw sensation, they
have discovered new possibilities deemed unacceptable
to conventional society. Now all their pleasures will
be heard in trial.
Surrender, and let their energy lead you through
dance, performance and art, into the realm of the
senses. Connect with authentic and engaged community
and let your senses come alive.
Immerse yourself in the ride when you witness a woman
in orgasm for 30 minutes, and experience pleasure like
you never have before. Performances by: Suidcide girl-Nixon

Link to Flyer: sfnpc.org/index.html
Contact NPC for more information 621-3260 More Information:
NPCs 2006 Playground Report Card, a survey of all 144 playgrounds in
San Francisco, gave each playground a letter grade.
The survey found 30 playgrounds didn't meet minimum standards.
These low scoring playgrounds inspired NPC and RPD to form a
partnership with volunteers at each playground to raise the grades.
This on-going partnership will run on two-year cycles: the first year will
be spent assessing and grading the playgrounds, and during the following
year, necessary repairs and maintenance will be completed to raise the
grade of the low-scoring playgrounds.

Sat 04/28 10:30am–12:00pm spell "IMPEACH" with human bodies on OCEAN BEACH
OCEAN BEACH: This time we're shooting for 2,000 people (the Park Service has
all-but-sworn that they'll issue the permit, but it is not yet in my hand). This
time we'll probably spell out "IMPEACH..." in 100-foot letters followed by
"NOW!" in slightly larger letters: "IMPEACH... NOW!"
Our exact message will depend on how big a crowd we've got registered. In
January, 90% of the attendees registered during the ten days prior to the event.
So, am I worried that right now, three weeks ahead of the event, we've only got
278 people registered? No, I'm not worried -- half the time I'm absolutely
terrified. I've got a helicopter reserved, a photographer lined up, volunteers
willing to help outline the letters that morning (this thing's going to stretch
600-700 feet across the beach!), and I spend every night dreaming my old
wrestling-an-octopus-underwater dream. In my better moments, however, I do feel
surrendered to whatever outcome transpires...
But no matter how many people turn out that day, I intend a PEACEFUL event!
While the first Beach Impeach was indeed a powerful statement, most of the
attendees (including me) felt that it was the most peaceful and gentle protest
they'd ever attended -- in fact, it was one of the more peaceful and enjoyable
days of many of our lives. No speeches, no harangues (no one needs convincing
any more), just 1,000 citizens (and dogs) quietly lying down together to draw a
line in the sand and send a message to the world. And I intend that April 28 be
the same way. I've received numerous suggestions that this time around we have
speakers, or that we spell out a stronger statement (several votes for the
f-word), but that's not the deal. Expect laughter, camaraderie, the woosh of the
ocean, and for a while the chatter of a helicopter or two or three...? (The
weather in January was perfect -- windless, cloudless, sixty-five degrees -- and
while we of course must take whatever weather we get this time around, it sure
would be nice to have a repeat.) To register please visit:

Beginning April 28, the Exploratorium presents Mind Matters: Exploring the Animal Mind, a three-program Spring lecture series that investigates the latest research and knowledge about how non-human animals' minds are similar to and different from human minds. This series anticipates a new exhibit section Mind: Attention, Emotion, and Judgment, scheduled to open at the Exploratorium in October 2007. This month, Dr. Sam Gosling draws from his research on spotted hyenas, dogs, chimpanzees, squid, and humans to examine the ways in which personality can be measured in non-human animals. This event is included in the price of admission to the Exploratorium.
