NOTE KEEPING THE BEER FROSTY Just thinking about this issue makes me thirsty. And yes, sadly, a cold domestic beer would do the trick in this heat.

Had I been one of the Coldest Beer testers this year, I might feel differently about that. Having spent many early summer evenings over the past decade hopping from bar to bar, thermometer in hand, I know that by the time testers have scratched every bar off their lists, they don’t care if they ever see another pale yellow, watery light beer again. Ever.

So, thanks, to those of you who took one for the team and spent some time drinking and getting paid for it. We know it’s tough work. Wink. Nod. Readers, you may notice a bar or two missing from the list. Over the years, some bars have decided they don’t want to play our stupid coldest beer game, and as a result, we’ve just said, “Fine, we don’t want to play with you anyway.”

However, those cases are few and far between and we are mere humans, so it’s entirely possible we missed a bar that should be on our testing list. See something missing? Drop us a line. (Don’t forget: To be tested, bars and restaurants must be locally owned and have tap beer.)

If you caught my Note last week, you know that in celebration of Boise Weekly’s 21st birthday, which was last week, we’re soliciting photos of our readers from the year they were 21. Don’t send anything you don’t want published and if it’s pre-digital and you need some help scanning, stop by the office at Sixth and Broad streets and we’ll put out fancy technology to work. For those of you who are already digital, send your photo to 21@boiseweekly.com. We’ll accept photos until Tuesday, July 10.

Finally, I’d encourage everyone to check out this week’s News story and, more importantly, to take the quiz on Page 8. We wandered Boise with a video camera and asked Boiseans to answer a few of the questions new Americans are expected to know. Log on to boiseweekly.com to see their often-interesting responses.

BILL COPE/OPINION

LICKING THE HAND

Labrador: you don’t know what contempt is There is very little in the human experience more repugnant to witness than the spectacle of one minority person abusing another to ingratiate himself with his masters. That is the behavior of men so ignoble, so cowardly, so low, that they should be denied any place in history other than the shame they have brought upon themselves.

With that said, I demand the immediate resignation of Rep. Raul Labrador from the U.S. House of Representatives. His inherent lack of decency, fairness and judgment make him unfit to represent Idaho or anywhere else, and it is time to send this loathsome lawyer back to the obscurity and inconsequence from which he arose.

Oh, but do I have to tell you what the lawyer did to earn such scorn? Ah, but of course I do. Had enough of you been paying proper attention to the caliber of people who usually achieve political office in Idaho, Labrador never would have been elected in the first place. But as one of those substandard individuals who benefited so unjustly from the tea bagger backwash in the 2010 election, he has been as eager as a Red Bull-lapping Pomeranian to get himself noticed, spouting the sort of radical bull-crappery that District 1 representatives have been known for at least as far back as Steve Symms. (Helen Chenoweth, C.L. “Butch” Otter, Bill Sali ... what a sack of low-cal cheese curds, eh?)

Labrador must have considered it his lucky day when he landed a spot on the House Committee for Oversight and Government Reform under Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa. Issa promised to investigate the Obama administration to death by a thousand cuts. And despite having uncovered only one subject upon which he could launch his snipe hunt, he has announced the Obama administration to be the most corrupt in America’s history. I won’t insult this Southern California slickster by saying he is too dumb to remember the Nixon and Reagan administrations—43 convictions out of the former, 138 out of the latter—but I have no qualms about insulting him by saying he is a despicable liar and one of the most dishonest people in our government.

Unfortunately, being a dishonest liar doesn’t disqualify a man from conducting hearings in a Republican-controlled House these days, and as soon as Issa caught wind of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms gun-tracking program on the Arizona border, he went after President Barack Obama’s attorney general, Eric Holder, with a vengeance.

Not once did he call before his investigations George W. Bush’s attorney general, Michael Mukasey, under whom the gun tracking started in 2006 before Obama was even elected.

Not once did he call up the ATF official who has admitted he hadn’t informed his bosses, including Holder, of the program’s existence.

And not once did Issa call up any of the ATF agents who were running the program.

WWW. B OISEWEEKLY.C O M

No, Issa reserved his venom exclusively for Holder, the man who shut the ill-conceived program down after learning of a federal agent’s murder, apparently committed with one of those rogue guns. Holder obligingly made nine separate appearances before Issa’s inquisition, and handed over thousands of pages of documentation.

But of course, facts are of no interest to people with no interest in the facts. Issa demanded more and more, and eventually, Holder—with executive privilege support from his boss, Obama—dug in his heels and told Issa and his wretched crew that they had gotten all they were going to get. At that, Issa called for a vote to hold our attorney general in contempt of Congress, a reprimand always before reserved for people who offered no cooperation whatsoever. Even after last week’s revelations (in Fortune magazine) that there is absolutely no truth to the accusations that had been made, either against Holder or the ATF agents, both of Idaho’s Congressional stooges, Labrador and Mike Simpson, without a shred of integrity between them, voted for the contempt charge.

Labrador seems to know instinctively that the most-outrageous pimpery attracts the biggest crowd. Last October, he tried to out-bully his boss Issa by being the first to demand that Holder resign. Remember, this was long before any of Holder’s tormentors, including Labrador, had any clue as to what they were dealing with. We might suppose Labrador may feel the need to work doubly hard at his right-wing fringery, being one of the few Hispanics in the political movement that has defined itself by the disdain it shows for brown faces.

And since the adolescently fascist Tea Party has as its central nature a full-out, mindless blitzkrieg on the Obama administration, it’s to be expected that an eager ankle-licker like Labrador would try to out-posture even the likes of Issa in the harassment of the first black AG in our history.

What’s more, I suspect Labrador is bouncing about at the knees of the white right, straining to be adopted as a token to counterbalance the Democrats’ insurmountable lead in the Hispanic vote. And as a personal matter, how could Labrador—heretofore a small-dump lawyer with pretensions of rising above the limits his own lack of talent and integrity have placed on him—not help but feel resentful and inferior to a real man of the law like Holder?

But notwithstanding all of the ulterior motives Labrador may have for being such an insulting and demeaning dwarf trying to look like a big tough guy, what I see is a frantic lap dog pretending he’s a macho pit bull going after a black man’s throat, all in hopes that his trashy overseers approve. How many more of these buffoons can Idaho afford?

Next week: Just how scummy is the National Rifle Association, anyway?

OPINION/TED RALL

A PRESIDENTIAL LIE Executive privilege does not exist

The Phoenix bureau of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives sold more than 2,000 guns to operatives it believed to be working for Mexican drug cartels between 2006 and 2010. According to the ATF, Operation Fast and Furious was an attempt to track the weapons to high-level criminals.

Things went south when ATF guns began turning up at crime scenes, including the murder of a U.S. Border Patrol agent. Now, as part of its investigation, the GOP-led House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is demanding the Obama administration turn over documents relevant to the operation.

President Barack Obama refused, invoking “executive privilege.”

I put “executive privilege” in quotes because it does not appear in law. Presidents of both parties—back to 1796—have asserted that the constitutional separation of powers grants the Executive Branch an inherent right to ignore subpoenas.

The standard argument is that compliance would reveal the internal deliberations of the president, his Cabinet officers and other government officials who require the presumption of privacy in order to engage in internal debates and deliberations.

This is Obama’s first use of “executive privilege,” but both by historical and legal standards, it is radically overreaching. The closest we have to a definitive word on executive privilege dates to the Watergate scandal, when the Supreme Court ruled against Richard Nixon’s attempt to stonewall Congress. As long as a prosecutor could argue that the relevant documents were essential to the justice of a case, and did not

compromise national security, Chief Justice Warren Burger said, the president would have to fork over the documents.

Operation Fast and Furious, a law enforcement matter, doesn’t qualify under the Burger ruling.

Once again, Obama is following precedent established by George W. Bush, whose legal advisers seem to have missed the class about how Americans decided not to be ruled by a king. Bush, who promoted another legal fiction, a “unitary executive” branch, invoked “executive privilege” six times.

Because the Constitution grants the Senate (but not the House) the right to ratify treaties, George Washington refused to turn over notes about the negotiations of the Jay Treaty with Great Britain, claiming “executive privilege.” But he did give them to the Senate. And the Supreme Court overruled Thomas Jefferson’s 1807 claim that providing his private correspondence to Aaron Burr’s defense in his treason trial would imperil national security.

Americans enjoy the presumption of innocence and the right to a fair and speedy trial, by a jury of their peers, under the Sixth and Seventh Amendments. Yet Obama—building on a secret assassination program against socalled “terrorists” begun under Bush—asserts the right not only to deprive U.S. citizens of these rights, detaining them indefinitely and denying them a trial, but to assassinate them.

Too bad the Tea Party’s constitutional purism is so inconsistent, focusing more on fighting the Democrats than protecting our freedoms. With no one to push back, we’re no longer a democracy.

Dan Luke’s family has owned farmland at the corner of Amity and Eagle roads since 1948.

EAGLE FARMER WANTS STRAIGHT TALK ON ROUNDABOUT

Twenty-five men and women from 12 nations became new Americans in a citizenship ceremony at the Grove Plaza on June 23, as part of Boise’s celebration of World Refugee Day.

ALL AMERICAN New citizens pass the ultimate test … literally AMY MERRILL AND GEORGE PRENTICE | PHOTOGRAPHS LAURIE PEARMAN Independence Day came early this year. So did Christmas. The joy and celebration usually reserved for the Fourth of July or the 25th of December filled more than a few hearts at Boise’s Grove Plaza on June 23.

“Today is …” said Alberto Dominguez, an elderly Cuban, choking on his tears for a moment. “It’s very happy, today. Very happy.”

A few feet away stood just-turned 18-yearold Layla Hussein of Somalia.

“Today is …” Hussein waved her arms looking for the words. “I just want to go somewhere … like wild. … I don’t know.”

Dominguez and Hussein had little in common except their smiles and the fact that they are now Americans. They joined 23 other refugees in becoming the United States’ newest citizens.

Hundreds of onlookers, spilling from the Capital City Public Market, became witnesses to the ceremony as they happened upon the formal swearing-in. But the setting was anything but staid; music and dancing filled the plaza as nearby artisans and cooks shared their cultures.

More than a few of the bystanders said, “I had no idea,” as they became unwitting participants in Boise’s celebration of World Refugee Day. “I must tell you that years ago, when we first started World Refugee Day, we struggled,” said Christina Bruce-Bennion, program director at Agency for New Americans.

“A number of other cities have much more somber events. But we eventually came to feel that we should make this a celebration. The refugees are visible. They’re a part WWW. B OISEWEEKLY.C O M

Dan Luke’s home and farmland, at the intersection of Amity and Eagle roads, is adorned with red, white and blue. But the 20-plus American flags aren’t Luke’s Fourth of July decorations. In fact, tucked among the stars and stripes is a sign that reads, “American Dream Being Taken.” Luke said he’s being pressured to sell his land at what he calls “unjust prices” to build a much-publicized traffic roundabout.

“I worked all my life finally getting this place paid off,” said Luke. “Now, somebody is just going to come give me a low-bottom dollar for it, and I think that is totally unfair.”

Luke, whose family has resided at the property since 1948, said he’s being offered 96 cents per square foot for the one-third of an acre of his property needed to construct the roundabout. According to Luke, a landowner on Victory Road was offered more than $5 per square foot for the neighbor’s property.

The Ada County Highway District wouldn’t comment on the issue because of what it called “legal proceedings.”

“I got upset and showed them how I felt,” said Luke. “I didn’t want to pull a gun out or anything, but I can put a sign out or something to show them how I feel about the situation.”

Two cows and two llamas reside in Luke’s pasture, which, when the roundabout is built, may be reduced to a size that will no longer be adequate for the cows.

“I don’t even know if I’ll have enough pasture out there for the llamas,” Luke told Citydesk. “They really don’t seem like they want to negotiate at all.”

Luke said his long-term worries are compounded by the economic effects of the roundabout.

“Nobody in their right mind is going to buy my house; it’s too close to the road,” said Luke. “My property value might depreciate tremendously.”

Luke said that a traffic light would be better fitted for the intersection and would result in less of his land being repurposed.

“I feel like they are just coming in here and taking my land, taking as much as they want,” Luke said. “Just giving it away is what they are doing and it is just not right.”

NEWS ANDR EW C R IS P

Whole Foods, scheduled to open its Boise location around Thanksgiving, has applied for a $300,000 grant through the Capital City Development Corporation to offset streetscaping costs.

CCDC @ WORK Urban renewal agency spruces up new projects ANDREW CRISP While the City of Boise anxiously awaits two high-profile foodie tenants, the Capital City Development Corporation, the city’s urban renewal agency, is assisting in a bit of curb appeal in anticipation of Whole Foods and 10 Barrel Brewing.

The once empty dirt lot at Myrtle Street and Broadway Avenue is quickly filling with what will soon be Whole Foods, with an accompanying Walgreens Pharmacy nearby.

Meanwhile a structure that once belonged to the Idaho Department of Lands at Ninth and Bannock streets is evolving into Bend, Ore.based 10 Barrel Brewing’s newest brewpub.

Both businesses are moving into locations that currently have little-to-no landscaping.

“I think the curb will be pulled out about 3 feet. We’ll put in a couple trees. We’ll put in some irrigation obviously, some tree grates, there will be a bench there,” Katina Dutton, CCDC development manager, said of the 10 Barrel location.

The small strip of sidewalk will be redone on 10 Barrel’s dime, while other streetscaping projects taking place around the city—denoted by the blue and green “CCDC @ Work” signs—benefit more than one business.

“We anticipate doing the rest of the north side of Bannock at a later date,” said Dutton. “It was sort of a special case, but we had done lots of work there and we wanted to support that new business coming in.”

CCDC will contract out the work through its bidding process, with the 10 Barrel folks picking up the tab.

“Because we had those drawings drawn up when 10 Barrel came to us—the last thing we wanted was for a new business to come in, and then next year come back and tear up their sidewalk,” said Dutton.

Instead, CCDC will let 10 Barrel do its portion now using the plans CCDC crafted.

The brewing company plans for a walk-up bar area adjacent to the redesigned sideWWW. B OISEWEEKLY.C O M

walk, with the space opening sometime later this summer.

Over at Broadway Avenue and Myrtle Street, Whole Foods has a different arrangement to streetscape its block, including installing a new road connecting Front and Myrtle streets. CCDC Development Director Mike Hall said a grant may help pay for part of Whole Foods’ streetscaping.

“It’s typical that the developer gets burdened with redeveloping the sidewalk,” said Hall.

To make up for that cost, CCDC will consider a Whole Foods grant proposal that would help pay for those improvements, which Hall said isn’t uncommon in expensive-to-update downtown areas.

“We try to sort of level the playing field as much as we can, so we have this streetscape grant program to help offset those costs,” he said. CCDC will consider appropriating $300,000 for the project.

The large-scale streetscaping plan includes trees spaced 50 feet apart for the length of each street, rows of the LED-powered “historic” street lamps used in the downtown core, bike racks and more. The city calls the style an “urban parkway” for its large width.

“It’s essentially a double row of lawn and trees, and a sidewalk. So typically you have the curb, you have an 8-foot lawn strip, you have the sidewalk and then an 8-foot lawn strip beyond that,” said Hall.

Part of the streetscape also includes a plaza at the intersection of Myrtle Street and Broadway Avenue, with enough space for a forthcoming art installation.

“It’s a very visible corner,” he said. “They designed their plaza for an art project—even with electricity and water in the event it’s that kind of piece.”

CCDC will also consider appropriating public art funds for the space in 2013.

Whole Foods is scheduled to open around Thanksgiving.

What are some of the biggest threats to civil liberties today?

In Idaho, we’re seeing state agencies that are getting instructions to cut and cut. And they’re cutting so close to the bone that they’re cutting out people’s rights.

I’m also concerned about a lack of appreciation for civil liberties. I’ve been disappointed this year with our government in the case of the Occupy protesters. [The government] has used this historic circumstance to dial down the First Amendment as far as they can before they get stopped by the court.

And people don’t really know what privacy is anymore. It’s not clear where our private lives end. And I think that government is struggling with that, too.

What guidance can citizens look to as they try to protect their privacy, especially in light of rapid technological advancements?

It’s always been clear—and the founders knew this—that the people are responsible for keeping all of those liberties: the right to privacy, the right to speak freely, the right to not be interfered with in your day-to-day life by the government.

And can citizens do a better job in defending their civil liberties?

We’ve got to know about them first.

Then you have to be able to spot when there’s a problem. Then you have to have the resources to do something about it.

That’s why the ACLU exists. This is an organization that tries to accumulate the resources to make sure that if worse comes to worse, and our government starts treading on those rights, we can actually do something about it.

JER EM Y LANNINGHAM

Ritchie Eppink likes to speak in analogies.

The newly appointed legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Idaho likens constitutional rights to an automobile— they both must be maintained.

Eppink said mowing the grass under the Boise Occupy camp is akin to mowing the grass of a baseball field halfway through the fifth inning. He sometimes looks at the Bill of Rights “as a cookbook.”

“Everybody should go through the Bill of Rights and find a right that’s important to them and exercise it. It would be great if we all did that,” he said.

Eppink, 35, grew up on subdivided land once owned by Thomas Jefferson, but eventually headed West and “literally wandered,” picking up what he called his “hitchhiking credentials” along the way.

“There was a lot that resonated—that wild and free part,” said Eppink. “I think I found the perfect place geographically and vocationally.”

A love of freedom and commitment to public interest law led the University of Idaho Law School graduate and Fulbright fellow to the position of Justice Architect for Idaho Legal Aid Services, where he helped homeowners challenge deceptive banking practices during the foreclosure crisis. In May Eppink began his full-time post with ACLU of Idaho.

“I love America and its heritage of freedom and opportunity,” he said. “And there couldn’t be a better place to stand up for liberty and the Constitution than here in Idaho.”

Eppink recently presented arguments in U.S. District Court in Boise, defending Occupy Boise’s right to free speech and assembly. Eppink said he has a long to-do list that includes defending the Constitution and identifying threats to civil liberties.

The ACLU of Idaho was part of a coalition that worked to defeat this year’s ultrasound legislation [which would have required women to undergo an ultrasound before having an abortion]. What lessons can be learned from that effort?

That is a great example of how people need to know what’s happening. If people hadn’t known what this effort was all about and if people hadn’t been willing to stand up and do something about it, we may have seen a different outcome. It was a combination of education, advocacy and action that defeated the bill.

The ACLU is often seen as controversial.

Why do you think this is the case?

We have forgotten that it was revolutionaries that gave us this country. People were willing to die for things as abstract as the right to speak, to assemble and the right to have the opportunity to be heard. It’s controversial to stand up for those ideas today because it has a revolutionary influence.

The impact is profound when we think, “I can advocate for what I want,” and “I can say what I want.” People are not in the streets fighting for these rights like they are in other countries. But we know what happens when they do move into the streets—the state has to mow the lawn.

ROARING TWENTIES Flying M celebrates 20th anniversary with a memory wall TARA MORGAN Like every coffee nut, Shirley Sanchotena had her daily ritual. Each morning on her walk to work through the streets of downtown Boise, she would swing into Moxie Java for a cup of caffeine. But that all changed in July 1992, when she breezed by the newly opened Flying M Coffeehouse.

“One morning as I was walking by, Kirk [Montgomery] was waiting for me and This First Thursday, you can check out a photo collage of Flying M-emories. wanted to know why I didn’t come in and try their coffee,” remembered Sanchotena. “And “I think it has provided an opportunity very first customers over there,’” said Collins.

funny LIQUID LAUGHS LOCAL COMEDY SHOW Though naysayers tried to say nay, Boise’s dedicated comedy club seems to be trucking along and dishing out the yuks just fine.

The lineup of touring comics coming through Liquid has inspired exponential growth in the number of Boiseans stepping on stage and giving comedy a shot. Enough so that the club is dedicating a whole week just to the locals.

The locals-only showcase will be headlined by Jen Adams, who has taken most of the last year off from performing to take care of her newborn baby. That means she ought to be flush with new material and bristling with pent-up funny waiting to be unleashed.

Opening the show will be one of Boise’s favorite comedians, Matt Bragg, as well as Gabe Dunn, who just might sing a song about having sex with cheese.

Boise’s funniest nerd, Dylan Cole, will host the show, which means he can just bring up the next comic whenever the audience doesn’t get one of his wry Skyrim-as-it-relates-to-contemporary-dating references.

Thursday, July 5, and Sunday, July 8, 8 p.m.; Friday, July 6, and Saturday, July 7, 8 p.m. and 10 p.m.; $5. Liquid, 405 S. Eighth St., Ste. 110, 208-287-5379, liquidboise.com.

WEDNESDAY JULY 4 theater DAS BARBECU This summer, Idaho’s award-winning Company of Fools Theatre brings big hair, big laughs and hootenanny-style fun to the stage with Das Barbecu, a quick-paced Texas-musical retelling of Richard Wagner’s epic Ring Cycle.

“We like to say it’s

kind of Lord of the Rings combined with The Real Housewives of Dallas mixed with a Charlie Daniels soundtrack,” said Denise Simone, Company of Fools co-founder and core company artist. “Really, it’s just an outrageously fun musical.”

Five actors take on the roles of 30 different characters in Das Barbecu, which chronicles a wide stretching web of love triangle feuds originally depicted in The Ring Cycle.

The two-hour musical,

which showcases the book and lyrical work of Jim Luigs and the musical renderings of Scott Warrender, manages to squeeze into just two hours the original opera work of The Ring Cycle, a production that, in its entirety, stretches over a four-night per formance.

“Opera lovers will love it—and those who have never heard of The Ring Cycle will love it as well,” Simone said.

Directed by R.L. Rowsey, Das Barbecu will be sure to bring some attention-catch-

So you’ve got one aristocratic French hypochondriac with a money-grubbing second wife, two head-strong daughters, a pile of suitors and a bunch of opportunists who are more than willing to take advantage of said rich hypochondriac. What could you possibly add to put it over the top? Why, 1960s French pop music and New Wave culture, of course.

That’s just the tack that Idaho Shakespeare Festival’s latest production takes for its production of Moliere’s classic comedy The Imaginary Invalid. The production is a celebration of the vibrant pop culture of the 1960s, complete with music, dancing and technicolor visuals, which director Tracy Young (who directed last season’s Taming of the Shrew) promises plays off the best of the era while including aspects of Italian commedia dell’arte and the original Baroque influences.

What exactly is commedia dell’arte? Think of shows like Laugh-In, with physical humor that has broad comedic appeal.

The production was first staged at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, Ore., where it was resoundingly popular. ISF spokesperson Hannah Read said the Boise offering will be “just as crazy and fun.”

The show will have a preview Friday, July 6, with opening night Saturday, July 7, and run through Friday, Aug. 24.

Friday, July 6-Saturday, July 7, and Tuesday, July 10-Wednesday, July 11, 8 p.m.; Sunday, July 8, 7 p.m.; $12-$40. Idaho Shakespeare Festival, 5657 Warm Springs Ave., 208-3369221, idahoshakespeare.org.

UNION PACIFIC’S 150TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION Locomotive enthusiasts and history buffs alike will have ample opportunity to get their kicks at Union Pacific’s 150th anniversary celebration at the Boise Train Depot.

Lt. Gov. Brad Little and Boise Mayor Dave Bieter will attend the event and speak at 1 p.m., recognizing Boise’s historic ties with Union Pacific.

E-9 locomotives will also be on display. Built most recently in 1955, the powerful diesel-electric trains represent the last designed for the bygone days of passenger travel via railroad.

For a taste of the locomotion’s glory days, attendees can enjoy free rides on the UP 956 miniature train. Channel your inner conductor and try out the locomotive simulator, which offers visitors a chance to experience the same training used by locomotive engineers to master train operation.

The movie setup is reminiscent of old-time drive-in theaters, with movies projected on a giant outdoor screen.

Talking about thermostats is one way to cool down a dinner party conversation. Few folks want to hear about the latest in temperature control while tipping back an ice-cold cocktail.

But the Nest thermostat is a bird of a different feather. On its website, Nest admits, “We didn’t think thermostats mattered either. Until we learned they control about 50 percent of our energy bill, as much as the refrigerator, lighting, TVs, computers and stereos combined.”

Dubbed the “learning thermostat,” Nest assesses your daily temp control patterns to better predict your heating and nest.com cooling needs. One week after it has been installed, Nest makes a schedule for your home and adjusts it as you adjust your patterns.

An Auto Away feature senses when you’ve left the house and automatically turns down the temperature. When you crank the dial to an energy-efficient temp, the Nest Leaf will appear to let you know you’re saving green. Nest also uses a Wi-Fi connection to stay abreast of weather forecasts to better gauge how the outside temperature affects your energy use.

And if those features weren’t space-age enough, you can control Nest remotely with a smartphone app so the house is acceptably frigid or toasty when you walk in the door.

But here’s the coolest part: Nest claims that when you teach it well, you can save up to 20 percent on your heating or cooling bill.

’Cue the lip-licking: Ribs were in hot demand at the Northwest Ribfest.

WEED, EXPLOSIONS AND PIN UP GIRLS Weed dating is not a synonym for the college courtship process. As Boise Weekly intern Amy Merrill found out on a balmy summer evening last week, it’s a dirt- and beer-filled version of speed dating for the green-thumb set.

“Bed-hopping and hoe puns flew thick and fast at the second-annual Weed Dating event hosted by Earthly Delights farm on June 28,” Merrill observed. “More than 40 participants showed up to jump into bed with each other, which was more than double the amount of RSVPs.” Teva- and shorts-sporting daters pulled unwanted plants and rotated to different areas of the farm. A row of mason jars with corresponding numbers was set up to hold notes for possible love connections.

Speaking of adult fun, Discovery Center of Idaho hosted another popular Adult Night on June 28, focusing on the science of explosions. BW New Media Czar Josh Gross was there to catch all the action on video, which included an attempt to set the record for the largest Diet Coke and Mentos explosion in the state’s history. You can check it out at boiseweekly.com.

And speaking of explosive energy, the Knitting Factory filled with pompadours and rockabilly babes on June 29 for a concert by The Chop Tops. The event also included a vintage car show outside and a pin-up model contest. According to BW freelancer Mika Belle, “around 10 models competed in the pin-up girl contest, which awarded prizes worth hundreds of dollars. Sophie Edwina won in a jaw-dropping leopard print dress.”

You can check out a photo slideshow of all the action at boiseweekly.com.

And moving from pin-up girls to half-naked beefcakes, Belle also swung by Tod Alan’s all-male fashion show at Azure Hair Studio on June 30. According to Belle, the show featured more than 30 “young-stud models” in brash and bold designs, but attendance was notably down from Alan’s previous shows. A photo slideshow of that event is also available at boiseweekly.com.

And speaking of hot slabs of meat, Gross ventured to Meridian to soak in the all-American Northwest Ribfest cooking competition in Julius M. Kleiner Memorial Park. But there was only one problem: There were scarcely any ribs.

“Around half the food vendors were either not barbecue joints or were barbecuing something else altogether, and the barbecue stands were nearly all sold out by late afternoon on opening day,” lamented Gross.

But luckily, Gross eventually tracked down some “fall off the bone ribs” and corn on the cob from the Texas Roadhouse stand.

NOISE/NEWS NOISE QU INTR ON

RARE BIRD Quintron finds novel ways to express himself CHRIS PARKER

He might be a visionary or a kook. These days, it can be hard to tell. But there’s no denying the inventiveness of the Big Easy organ-rocking iconoclast Quintron.

The son of an electrical engineer, Quintron, or Robert Rolston, has constructed a bevy of odd musical devices, most notably the Drum Buddy, an oscillating light-activated drum machine. He’s also released more than a dozen albums during the last 18 years, synthesizing a blend of exotica, garage and swamp rock, girl-group pop, New Orleans funk and Sun Records rockabilly into something vibrant, unbowed and a bit gritty. His music is not unlike the city itself.

While not a native of New Orleans, Quintron has always felt the music scene’s Quintron’s Robert Rolston is always surrounded by his Buddys. pull. The son of a military man, Rolston was born in Germany in the late ’60s, but soon wound up in St. Louis.

Asher Roth will rise from his bread bed for a make-up show in Boise.

MASSV SHAKEDOWN Rapper Asher Roth may have taken a bit of the fun out of the debut Sunday Funday party June 24 in downtown Boise by missing his plane, but he’ll be making it up soon enough. Roth is working on a new date, but as of press time the details had yet to be finalized. Check Cobweb for updates. Tickets for the original show will be honored.

Another big shindig that has moved a few things around is the debut MASSV Music Festival in Ketchum, which takes place Friday, July 13-Saturday, July 14. Originally billed as a strictly electronic festival headlined by Austin, Texas, laser-lords Ghostland Observatory, a grip of less space-age bands have now been added to the bill, including a few of Boise’s best en route to the Underground Music Showcase in Denver.

National acts added to the bill include Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears, Adventure Club, Gift of Gab from Blackalicious, B-Side Players and more.

Stay tuned to BW for a more in-depth look at the history and potential impacts of MASSV in the Wednesday, July 11, issue.

Sun Valley will also host The Sun Valley Shakedown Saturday, July 7, at Festival Meadows. The big throwdown will feature performances from JJ Grey and Mofro, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band and DJ Logic, all timed to coincide with the conclusion of the Ride Sun Valley bike festival. So if you’re planning to attend expect Spandex. See the Music Guide on Page 41 for details.

Another place you can plan to attend once more is The Bouquet, which was reopened on a limited basis in late June.

Owner Tyson Twilegar told BW he has reopened the club as a cash-only bar on weekends. According to Twilegar, the stage will host a rotating variety of local acts doing residencies and there will be no covers.

For now. Twilegar also mentioned the likelihood of a performance from former Boise band Neo Tundra Cowboy, which relocated to Nashville, Tenn., in 2011. Twilegar added that he’s working on a plan to reopen the club on a broader level, including touring acts and regular hours.

And finally, Pengilly’s, which hosts Boise’s marquee open mic night on Mondays, has switched up its system. Instead of putting their names on a list, musicians will now put their names in a hat to be drawn at random. The number of names allowed into the hat is capped, but if the hat is drained, another round is started. Rob Hill, who helps run Pengilly’s open mic, told BW that it is a better system because it prevents people from showing up as early as 6 p.m., and then leaving until it is their turn to play.

BOISE MUSIC FESTIVAL, JULY 7, EXPO IDAHO Audiophiles are decidedly unstoked about the Boise Music Festival. “Smash Mouth is so old, it might as well change its name to Smash Dentures,” they mutter to one another in their moms’ basements.

But the thing that is less talked about than the stars of decades past on the main stage is how many local and upcoming bands are on the bill. There are five other stages, each with a full program of groups that runs from 10 a.m.-8 p.m. So you could sweat it out to see Ryan Star at 900 yards back, or you could check out indie rockers Uintahs, pop-punkers Hotel Chelsea, jam-band Dangerbeard or even Boise’s answer to Rebecca Black, Mr. Summertime in Boise himself, Poppa Joe.

HOT CHELLE RAE, JULY 10, KFCH When you’ve missed your ride home, lost your iPhone and the girl you like thinks you’re gay, take solace in knowing that pop-rock foursome Hot Chelle Rae knows exactly how you feel.

Sporting wifebeaters and sleeve tattoos, Nashville, Tenn.based Hot Chelle Rae is leading the boy band revival like ’N Sync’s edgy older brother. The band’s breakout single “Tonight, Tonight” crashed onto the Billboard Top 100 this summer with pop-culture-referencing lyrics and a “la, la, la” refrain that, once heard, will never be purged from your head.

Mixing upbeat piano and guitar riffs with positive lyrics, Hot Chelle Rae tops it all off with a little hip-hop swagger, challenging you not to dance your pants off.

For the epitome of summer party music, don’t miss Hot Chelle Rae at the Knitting Factory on Tuesday, July 10.

ARTS/VISUAL LAU R IE PEAR M AN

HITTING A WALL Ranu Mukherjee’s “Camper Van, Elisabeth Setten” will be camped out in Ketchum.

LAUGHTER AND CAMP As any outdoor zealot will tell you, there’s an art to camping—scouting the proper tent site, constructing a contained fire and preparing a four-star meal in a Dutch oven.

But camping and art do not frequently mix. Until now.

From Friday, July 13–Wednesday, Sept.

19, the Sun Valley Center for the Arts will present Making Camp, a multimedia exhibition that will erect a shrine to the survivalist pastime inside the white walls of an art gallery.

Seven artists—including William Lewis, Ranu Mukherjee and Richard Bosman—will present “paintings, drawings, photographs, quilted sculptures and video work whose subject matter ranges from cabins and campfires to refugee camps in Haiti and the Middle East to nomadism in Saudi Arabia’s Empty Quarter.”

During the Gallery Walk on Friday, July 6, an outside installation at Second Avenue and Fourth Street in Ketchum will include three art tents from regional artists Nathan Barnes and Mallory Kappmeyer, Diana L. Baumbach and Earle Swope.

For more info on the exhibition, visit sunvalleycenter.org.

And moving from ground-hugging tents to big city skyscrapers, Stage Coach Theatre is staging Neil Simon’s Laughter on the 23rd Floor from Friday, July 6, through Saturday, July 21, at its new permanent location, 4802 Emerald St. Laughter on the 23rd Floor was inspired

by Simon’s experience working as a comedy writer on Sid Caesar’s Your Show of Shows.

According to Stagecoach, the play “takes a look at the backstage chaos that goes into writing and producing a show during the 1950s golden age of television.”

For more info and tickets, visit stagecoachtheatre.com.

And speaking of TV comedies, Boise Contemporary Theater is kicking off its 2012-2013 season with a play by New Girl writer Kim Rosenstock called Tigers Be Still. The play runs Wednesday, Oct. 17, through Saturday, Nov. 10.

BCT’s second play, Damascus by Andrew Weems (Namaste Man), runs from Wednesday, Nov. 28, through Saturday, Dec. 22.

The following production is a world premiere from Dwayne Blackaller and Matthew Cameron Clark called A Nighttime Survival Guide. The play will run Wednesday, Jan. 30, through Saturday, March 2, 2013.

BCT’s season finale is another world premiere: Graphic Depictions by Eric Coble (The Velocity of Autumn). It runs Wednesday, April 3, through Saturday, April 27, 2013.

When commercial galleries close, artists look elsewhere ANDREW CRISP After more than 30 years in business, Randall Brown was forced to close the doors of Brown’s Gallery in March. In a window flanking the large wooden doors, a “for rent” sign advertised available space in the 8th Street Marketplace building.

“We were able to get a large, secure storage unit,” said Brown. “Our stuff is all stacked very nicely inside. It’s a vacant store, basically.”

But Brown’s is only the latest in a string of gallery changes. When the recession hit in 2008, it sent shocks through Boise’s small art market. J Crist closed its doors in 2009 and longtime Basement Gallery owner Perry Allen sold his space to new owners in 2009.

But while the commercial gallery scene has wilted, other, more eclectic art spaces have sprouted up. New cooperative spaces like Green Chutes, Enso Artspace and Black Hunger all offer a different take.

On what seems to be every corner in Boise, coffeeshops and retail spots are now brimming with art, their formerly naked walls festooned with color. While one might assume these exhibits are preened by an in-house curator, it turns out that many artists hang the work themselves out of necessity.

Local artist Travis Campion has hung pieces at Flying M Coffee House and other shops during the last 20 years, including a rare art show at Neurolux, a smattering of local galleries and a former clothing shop, all with mixed results. He doesn’t discount the coffeeshops but said they don’t carry the same professional clout as galleries.

“With the prices I ask for my art, it’s difficult to sell at a coffeeshop,” said Campion.

“I’m not going to spend two weeks or a month on a painting and sell it for $50 or less.”

Campion’s paintings resemble Victorian portraiture and he often employs coffee for its antiquing power. He said space is limited for work like his in Boise.

“If it weren’t for Sam Stimpert and Anneliessa Marie Balk at the Visual Arts Collective, as well as the Basement Gallery, we’d be stuck with having to show our stuff at minor venues such as coffeeshops, boutiques and bars,” said Campion.

Kirsten Furlong, a Boise State art instructor, artist and gallery director of the Visual Arts Center, also has strong opinions on the matter.

She said coffeeshops aren’t a smart bet for artists unless no other options exist.

“I have a particular take on this, which may not be the popular take,” cautioned Furlong.

“For artists preparing to be professional artists,

Coffeeshops can be both a boon and a burden for emerging professional artists.

I think showing your work in a coffeeshop, a restaurant, a hair salon, a cafe, a retail store—I think that’s a final resort when you don’t have any other options.”

While she acknowledged the success of the Flying M model as an example of the coffeeshop gallery done right—with its annual Valentine for AIDS art auction—she said a business needs to focus on helping artists in order for the trade-off to work.

“It’s truly setting aside space, where the artists and the business owners are working together,” Furlong said. “Places like the Flying M, they market it, they promote it and people are expecting it—it’s part of their business. It’s somebody specifically organizing it with respect to the artists and not just decor for the space.”

Located somewhere between the coffeeshop and the dedicated commercial gallery are flexible spaces, like VAC and the Linen Building, where art is welcomed with opening celebrations and evenings of music or performance art during the venue’s fluctuating schedule. But Furlong said those spaces can be a risk for artists, since some spaces don’t offer full insurance. Though VAC offers up to $2 million in coverage for any art on display and the Linen Building offers protection for the full price value of work, a bar or coffeeshop may not.

“I recently had a show at the Linen Building,” said Furlong. “There were certain things they could and couldn’t do. It was a little nerve-wracking.”

Furlong cautions artists to ask about insurance or carry their own.

But Jane Brumfield, who owns Basement Gallery with her husband Mike, said that art is shown in less-professional settings for a different reason. She said there just isn’t enough space in Boise for showing art at any level, whether it’s coffeeshop, retail gallery or mixeduse space like VAC or the Linen Building.

“The coffeeshop art scene is great,” said Brumfield. “But I think the best art scenes have a wide provision of spaces. To have a healthy

art scene, all of those have to be present.”

Brumfield added that while First Thursday brings people through her gallery, the idea that it leads to big sales is a myth, and dedicated galleries are struggling because of that.

“First Thursday is a social event,” she said. “It doesn’t equate to actual sales. Threehundred to 500 people come through, but visiting a gallery is not supporting a gallery.

Buying art is supporting a gallery. We don’t typically have a lot of sales, and they’re typically small sales.”

Furlong agreed that Boise is low on gallery spaces but said that doesn’t hurt the art scene.

Rather, it’s just part of the changing tide.

“I think the much-better options are the people who are creating their own spaces,” said Furlong. “I think the best examples of that are Enso Artspace and Black Hunger. Artists are just working together to create a space that is a gallery, and it’s properly showcasing and contextualizing the work.”

Black Hunger is an artists’ collective and studio space in the North End that doesn’t have a sales goal. The artists involved said they are trying to build a scene, one that could help push Boise out of the coffeeshop mindset. Erin Cunningham, an art instructor at Boise State, visual artist and Black Hunger member, said the gallery is a response to Boise’s changing arts scene.

“Black Hunger is different. We came together because we wanted a place to work.

The gallery came second,” she said. “We sell nothing. We just want to look at it—whatever is on display—for a night and maybe have a conversation.”

While people on the outside might suggest Boise’s art scene is limited, gallery owners say that the groundswell of emerging artists is here and it’s growing. But the next rung, blending a local art scene into a regional or national scene, still needs work.

“It’s about mobilizing the community and keeping real art alive in a place that is often indifferent to it, or thinks it can be bought in the mall,” said Cunningham.

ROMAN HOLIDAY Woody Allen’s new European adventure, To Rome With Love GEORGE PRENTICE To Rome With Love—this year’s cappuccino to last summer’s aperitif, when Woody Allen invited us to visit Paris at midnight—is a frothy sip of the Eternal City, the filmmaker’s latest stop on his quite successful world tour.

Though not among his absolute best, Allen’s Roman Holiday holds its own among the Italian ruins and remains a lovely flight of fancy, worthy of a midsummer night’s visit.

Perhaps the most surprising element of Will Ellen Page and Jesse Eisenberg find eternal love in the Eternal City? the film, a collage of lighter-than-meringue fables, is the appearance of Allen himself in his first on-screen role since 2006’s muchin Spain, and one of his best-ever in France: La Scala (complete with soap, shampoo and forgotten Scoop, and more than three last year’s Oscar-winning Midnight in Paris. loofah) is a fun-soaked delight. decades since his halcyon days of Annie Hall It was quite natural for Rome to follow.

NEWS/REC BRUNDAGE MOUNTAIN RESORT

REC JES S IC A M U R R I

BURN OUT Brundage’s new Four-Cross Course lets you bring out your competitive nature.

SUMMER SKI AREAS It wasn’t all that long ago that someone at some ski area somewhere realized that there might be something better to do with a ski hill during the summer months than just letting the lifts sit still.

Ski areas everywhere have introduced summer recreation programs, with many building full-on mountain-bike trail systems across the slopes. Some are even kind enough to offer you and your bike a ride to the top on those very lifts that carried you and your skis a few months ago.

Brundage Mountain in McCall just happens to be one of those resorts, and the area kicked off its summer season with all of its more than 20 miles of trails open, as well as its Blue Bird high-speed quad.

Anyone who wants to take his or her bike to the top can ride the chairlift for $30 for a full-day pass, or $15 for a one-ride pass.

Ages 7-14 and 70 and older can ride for $20 for the day or $7 for one trip. Bike and equipment rentals are available on site.

Of course, you don’t have to have a bike to take advantage of the lift to enjoy the view. Scenic chairlift rides cost $10 for adults or $5 for ages 7-14 or 70 and older.

Those looking for a new adventure can check out the just-opened four-cross course, which Brundage installed over the spring.

The course offers head-to-head riding for the competitive at heart.

Summer hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m.

Fridays through Sundays, but the resort has added a few bonus days for the Fourth of July holiday with hours on Wednesday, July 4, and Thursday, July 5.

Get more info at brundage.com.

If you can’t quite get away to McCall, Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area not only has its own mountain-bike and hiking trails and disc golf course, but it’s all about the laid-back party this summer.

Bogus is hosting a barbecue on the patio of the J.R. Simplot Lodge every weekend throughout the summer. From 11 a.m.-4 p.m. each Saturday and Sunday, the public can purchase grilled items like burgers, chicken sandwiches or hot dogs, as well as both alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks.

Public bathrooms are also available at the lodge for hikers and bikers.

Bogus has also teamed up with the folks at the Boise Department of Parks and Recreation to offer a series of summer camps for ages 9-16. That’s right, parents, you can kick your kids’ butts outside for awhile with camps that let them explore the forest around the ski area, as well as one that includes an overnight stay for the older kids.

Get more details at bogusbasin.org.

Hiking series takes a different look at Idaho’s wilderness JESSICA MURRI Mike Medberry unfolded a map from the ’70s and spread it on the table at Moxie Java in McCall on June 16. The early morning sun flooded into the coffeeshop and over the map as Medberry traced two fingers along the trail he’d be hiking that day. The worn map would be taken out several more times on the ninemile hike through the Secesh National Forest to Loon Lake, an hour outside McCall.

Medberry volunteered to lead this hike for the Idaho Conservation League’s sixth summer hiking program, which includes hikes at various locations around the state.

He has shown off the Secesh area in the hiking program for years.

THE PATH LESS-TRAVELED IN STANLEY The Iron Creek Trailhead is one of the most-popular in the Stanley area. Most hikers are seeking the beautiful Alpine Lake or the popular 170-acre Sawtooth Lake. A wonderful alternative is to travel to Goat Falls and then follow an unmaintained trail to the lesser-known Goat Lake. Although smaller than the more famous Sawtooth Lake, both Goat Lake and Goat Falls should be on any hiker’s Sawtooth bucket list.

The moderate hike to Goat Falls—6.8 miles out and back with a little more than 1,000 feet of gain—makes an ascent along Iron Creek under a canopy of lodgepole pine and subalpine fir forest.

After the ford, the trail crosses a bridge at 1.5 miles and begins a steep 600-foot ascent above a ravine. Wildflowers and far-reaching vistas are plentiful along this segment. After ascending through a few switchbacks, the trail levels and allows you to catch your breath at an elevation near 7,600 feet. Continue through dense forest to another junction at 2.9 miles. Take the right fork and walk through a wildflower-covered hillside to where the trail nearly disappears (3.3 miles), directly north of Goat Falls. For the best views of the falls, descend 100 feet on a small footpath.

To find the incredibly scenic Goat Lake—beyond Goat Falls the hike is not recommended for children—retrace your footsteps to the 3.3 mile mark and look to the south for an angled granite slab. Scree covers the slick slab, which makes footing somewhat precarious. Shimmy up the angled slab about 10 feet to an unmaintained footpath, which ascends to the lake, directly west of the falls and Goat Creek. Make sure to find the footpath as there are many steep drop-offs in the area. The visit to Goat Lake adds 600 feet of gain and nearly another mile (roundtrip) to the hike.

BEER GUZZLER/FOOD BREW-NA-BOMBERS

BRUX DOMESTICATED WILD ALE What do you get when two of California’s top breweries (Sierra Nevada and Russian River) get together? An American wild ale with a Belgian accent, where brett fermentation takes place in the bottle.

The thin head on this translucent amber brew fades quickly, while the nose is undeniably fragrant with sweet fruit, spice and an earthy touch of grass. Light clove and cardamom from the brett color this richly textured ale.

A nice tartness backs the lightly sweet pear and apple flavors. Big but balanced, this beer should age beautifully.

ELYSIAN WASTELAND ELDERFLOWER SAISON No. 6 in Elysian’s 12 Beers of the Apocalypse series, this beer is a cloudy, orange-tinged ale with a thin head that doesn’t leave much lacing. Green tea and slightly medicinal apple aromas come through on the nose. The brew is pleasant but light on the palate, with just the barest hint of carbonation. The sweet fruit flavors are lovely, but the light citrus and hops don’t quite balance things out.

FULL SAIL CHRIS’S SUMMER DELIGHT BERLINER WEISS This summer entry from Hood River, Ore.’s employee-owned brewery is part of its Brewer’s Share special release series. The beer is a hazy, hay-colored pour with soft aromatics of wheat and citrus.

Lactic acid is added to give it that traditional Berliner Weiss tang, while very light carbonation makes it eminently quaffable. The hop presence is very subdued in this brew—ripe lemon and green apple flavors rule here, with a touch of yeasty wheat on the finish.

LEILA R AM ELLA- R ADER

Technically, not all three of these selections are bombers—that 22-ounce format that’s perfect for sharing (or if you feel a bit greedy, great for a thirsty solo session). One pick is a cork-finished collaboration between two exceptional breweries that weighs in at 25.4 ounces. But all three are a uniquely different take on a summer brew, and each has something to recommend it.

FOOD/REVIEW

MIST’DELISH Un-fussy Native American fry bread from a truck JOSH GROSS The image of a battered, off-white delivery truck covered with handmade signs and docked in an overgrown field next to a trailer park does not inspire culinary confidence.

Such is the dicey image given off by Mist’Delish, a Native American food truck that opened earlier this year near the Salvation Army at 4386 W. State St. But the only dicey thing about the delish made-to-order Indian tacos is the diced lettuce.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Members of the Nevada Republican Party have concocted a bizarre version of family values.

A large majority of them are opposed to gay marriage and yet are all in favor of legal brothels.

Their wacky approach to morality is as weird as that of the family values crowd in Texas, which thinks it’s wrong to teach adolescents about birth control even though this has led to a high rate of teen pregnancies. My question is, why do we let people with screwed-up priorities claim to be the prime caretakers of “family values?” In accordance with the astrological omens, I urge you to reject the conventional wisdom as you clarify what that term means to you. It’s an excellent time to deepen and strengthen your moral foundation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): There’s a term for people who have the ardor of a nymphomaniac in their efforts to gather useful information: infomaniac.

That’s exactly what I think you should be in the coming week.

You need data and evidence, and you need them in abundance. What you don’t know would definitely hurt you, so make sure you find out everything you need to know. Be as thorough as a spy, as relentless as a muckraking journalist and as curious as a child. P.S.: See if you can set aside as many of your strong opinions and emotional biases as possible.

Otherwise, they might distort your quest for the raw truth.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Of all the signs of the zodiac, you’re the best at discovering short cuts. No one is more talented than you at the art of avoiding boredom. And you could teach a master course in how to weasel out of strenuous work without looking like a weasel.

None of those virtues will come in handy during the coming week, however. The way I see it, you should concentrate on not skipping any steps. Finish what you start, please.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The epic breadth of your imagination is legendary. Is there anyone else who can wander around the world without ever once leaving home? Is there anyone else who can reincarnate twice in the span of a few weeks without having to go through the hassle of actually dying? And yet, now and then, there come times when your fantasies should be set aside so that you may soak up the teachings that flow your way when you physically venture outside of your comfort zone.

Now is such a moment, my fellow Cancerian. Please don’t take a merely virtual break in the action. Get yourself away from it all, even if it’s only to the mar-

velous diversion or magic sanctuary on the other side of town.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In Norse mythology, Fenrir was a big bad wolf that the gods were eager to keep tied up. In the beginning, they tried to do it with metal chains, but the beast broke free. Then they commissioned the dwarves to weave a shackle out of six impossible things: a bear’s sinews, a bird’s spit, a fish’s breath, a mountain’s root, a woman’s beard and the sound a cat’s paws made as it walked.

This magic fetter was no thicker than a silk ribbon, but it worked very well. Fenrir couldn’t escape from it. I invite you to take inspiration from this story, Leo. As you deal with your current dilemma, don’t try to fight strength with strength. Instead, use art, craft, subtlety and even trickery.

I doubt you’ll need to gather as many as six impossible things.

Three will probably be enough.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): This is a time when your personal actions will have more power than usual to affect the world around you. The ripples you set in motion could ultimately touch people you don’t know and transform situations you’re not part of. That’s a lot of responsibility. I suggest, therefore, that you be on your best behavior— not necessarily your mildest, most-polite behavior, mind you.

Rather, be brave, impeccable, full of integrity and a little wild.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Goldfish that are confined in small aquariums stay small.

Those that spend their lives in ponds get much bigger. What can we conclude from these facts? The size and growth rate of goldfish are directly related to their environment. I’d like to suggest that a similar principle will apply to you Librans in the next 10 months. If you want to take maximum advantage of your potential, you will be wise to put yourself in spacious situations that encourage you to expand.

For an extra boost, surround yourself with broad-minded, uninhibited people who have worked hard to heal their wounds.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Over the years, you’ve explored some pretty exotic, even strange ideas about what characterizes a good time. In the coming days, I’m guessing you will add to your colorful tradition with some rather unprecedented variations on the definition of “pleasure” and “happiness.” I don’t mean to imply that this is a problem. To paraphrase the Wiccan credo, as long as it harms no one (including yourself), anything goes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There come times in your life when you have a sacred duty to

be open to interesting tangents and creative diversions, times when it makes sense to wander around aimlessly with wonder in your eyes and be alert for unexpected clues that grab your attention. But this is not one of those times. Rather, you really do need to stay focused on what you promised yourself you would concentrate on. The temptation may be high to send out sprays of arrows at several different targets. But I hope that instead you stick to one target and take careful aim with your best shots.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I’ve been meditating on a certain need that you have been neglecting, Capricorn—a need that has been chronically underestimated, belittled or ignored, by both you and others. I am hoping that this achy longing will soon be receiving some of your smart attention and tender care. One good way to get the process started is simply to acknowledge its validity and importance. Doing so will reveal a secret that will help you attend to your special need with just the right touch.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Due to the pressure-packed influences coming to bear on your destiny, you have Official Cosmic Permission to fling three dishes against the wall. (But no more than three.) If you so choose, you also have clearance to hurl rocks in the direction of heaven, throw darts at photos of your nemeses and cram a coconut cream pie into your own face. Please understand, however, that taking actions like these should be just the initial phase of your master plan for the week. In the next phase, you should capitalize on all the energy you’ve made available for yourself through purgative acts like the ones I mentioned.

Capitalize how? For starters, you could dream and scheme about how you will liberate yourself from things that make you angry and frustrated.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Check to see if you’re having any of the following symptoms: 1. sudden eruptions of gratitude; 2. a declining fascination with conflict; 3. seemingly irrational urges that lead you to interesting discoveries; 4. yearnings to peer more deeply into the eyes of people you care about; 5. a mounting inability to tolerate boring influences that resist transformation; 6. an increasing knack for recognizing and receiving the love that’s available to you. If you’re experiencing at least three of the six symptoms, you are in close alignment with the cosmic flow and should keep doing what you’ve been doing. If none of these symptoms have been sweeping through you, get yourself adjusted.
