Other states have gone through this phase too, but California has never emerged from it. It is this fact which underlies the notorious lack of social and political equilibrium in California.â&#x20AC;?

But in the past 60 years, things have gotten worse. The system today is constricted, subverted and hamstrung by special-interest ballot propositions, two-thirds vote requirements, gerrymandering, term limits and raging rivers of freeflowing political cash. The governor and Legislature have been circumscribed and neutered.

California Forward, a civic improvement coalition created by California Common Cause, Center for Governmental Studies, New California Network and the Commonwealth Club of Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Voices of Reform Project, is advocating short-term fixes for the budget and is considering long-term reforms as well.

Short term, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pushing for managing the spikes in state revenues, a pay-as-you-go requirement, results-based budgeting, a two-year budget and other reforms. As a bipartisan group, they have not yet been able to agree on

Number of foster children in Santa Cruz Country receiving guidance from Court Appointed Special Advocates. The nonproďŹ t agency launched its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Casa for CASAâ&#x20AC;? campaign last fall to purchase a Watsonville house where volunteers can teach the children to cook, garden and sew. Through generous community contributions, CASA is only $115,000 short of the $1.5 million goal that would enable it to be mortgage-free by the year 2014.

whether to push to reduce the two-thirds requirement for passing the budget and/ or raising revenues.

But California Forward co-chairman Bob Hertzberg, a former Democratic Speaker of the Assembly, personally believes the most important reform would be to return power to local governmentsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;where accountability is most immediateâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and give them the power to raise funds by majority vote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The key to restoring democracy in California is bringing government closer to the people,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People should be getting what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re paying for and paying for what they want.â&#x20AC;?

education, health care, public safety and the like for 38 million peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is simply too large. The unintended consequences of Proposition 13â&#x20AC;&#x201D;which shifted money and power to Sacramentoâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;must be undone, he argues.

Specific solutions aside for now, fixing the fetid mess in Sacramento will require the commitment not just of politicians who see the writing on the wall but also of the mainstream media, which has nurtured widespread ignorance about the business of state politics and government by systematically ignoring it: Not a single TV station from a major California city has a bureau there.

Most of all, it will require the involvement of taxpaying citizens, who must bear responsibility for choices that have yielded harmful, if unintended, political consequences. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need a citizeninduced fix,â&#x20AC;? as Wunderman puts it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;California government is not only broken, it has become destructive to our future.â&#x20AC;?

Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S THE most beautiful day I could have picked to jump out of an airplane. Eightyfive degrees at early evening, light breeze out of the west and 13,000 feet between me and the ground.

For the last hour, my brainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for awesome thrills has battled my bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for remaining alive in a steadily increasing confrontation of mind over matter. But as I tip my torso forward out of the plane, bringing the parachute-equipped instructor

strapped to my back with it, the beautiful day Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been admiring through the window takes on a whole new life.

The month leading up to the one minute of freefall that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m now on was a thrill ride in its own respect. Just the act of saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to my editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s question of whether Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be willing to skydive for an article attracted a swarm of butterflies to my innards. But as the weeks counted down toward jump day, the nervousness changed to excitement while I hoovered up YouTube skydiving videos

and friends regaled me with their own experiences. But on the big day, those dreadful flutters returned as I arrived at Watsonville Municipal Airport and took my last firm stomps on solid ground.

After meeting Laura Mullen and her crew from Santa Cruz Skydiving Adventures, Santa Cruz Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new and only skydiving outfit, I was immediately handed 12 pages of legal documents. The paperwork required no fewer than a dozen initials and five signatures to form a court-

tested contract making it clear that I understand skydiving may kill me and that, if it does, my surviving family may not sue SCSA, my instructor or anyone else within a 20-mile radius. But with formalities aside, I was introduced to Kevin Kramer, the hugely experienced and alarmingly tall instructor who would soon strap me like a writhing infant in a baby Bjorn to his chest in my first experience with tandem skydiving. ¨

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we exit, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to want to cross your arms and grab your harness like this,â&#x20AC;? he said, explaining with disturbing calm the best way to fall from an airplane.

Except for a couple other simple instructions, there was nothing left to say, and we crammed into the tiny fourseat prop plane and buzzed up into the heavens. The cramped rear of the aircraft served as the setting for the majority of my hysterical hyperventilating and halfcrazed giggles as my self-preservation instincts began to fully grasp what I was planning to do. At no time was the terror more overwhelming than the seconds just before we rolled out of the plane. There, with legs dangling from the aircraft, my adrenaline-enhanced survival impulses made their last pleas with what they likely considered was the stupidest thing I could ever hope to do.

But now, hurtling through the air at 120 miles per hour, none of that matters.

The cold, blasting wind stretches the skin of my face backward, like a pug dog being roughly petted, and the roar of rushing air is deafening. Below me, the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf points its thin finger southeast into Monterey Bay while north of it, quaint and colorful, stretches the rest of Santa Cruz and my home. Inches in front of me, snapping off photos with a shutter release switch in her mouth, is Mullen. And all around is springtime California sky, with not a grain of solid ground to be found.

As the seconds tick by Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m suddenly aware that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be releasing the parachute soon. My mind flips back to childhood days and my oldest brother who, having jumped days before, described the feeling as tying a rope ¨ %

connected to a tree to your chest and riding your bike as fast as you can until you get yanked off. I expect it to hurt. It does. But only a little, and soon the din is quieted, replaced now by my shouts of exhilaration. Doing a terrible job of composing myself, I tuck my legs into the straps that allow me to sit back in my harness and enjoy the ride down.

Jumping Headfirst Santa Cruz County and skydiving may seem like a match made in heaven.

But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been more than one leap of faith for Mullen to set up shop in Watsonville. With a drop zone several miles from the airport and wellestablished competitors in Monterey, Mullen was playing a risky game when she opened for business in January. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First off, the distance from the Watsonville airport to the beach where we drop down is about a 15 minute drive.

That means we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get as many people up in a day as a lot of other places,â&#x20AC;? says Mullen, who got her start as an instructor with Skydive Monterey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone told me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to Watsonville, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never make any money.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; But for me itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all about money.â&#x20AC;?

What it is about for Mullen is the experience. Not her experience skydiving, but other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Seeing a first-timer go from a hyperventilating wreck in the back of the plane to a hooting and hollering adrenaline junkie in freefall is a sight, she says, that never gets old. And with a need to stand out from her competition

CALL TODAY!

and keep people coming back, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made her love for witnessing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;miracleâ&#x20AC;? of skydiving in her clients into a customer care hallmark of her business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When it comes to the skydive itself, I know the routine, but each new person is not a routine,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me the most fun thing ever is getting to share this emotional experience with people and watching them blossom from nervous to loving it. I used to be a midwife and it was the same thing as watching babies being born. I just try to be there for them and make them comfortable so they can get through it on their own. And once they do, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply beautiful.â&#x20AC;?

Back in the air, my slow parachute descent is nearing an end. As we float down to a soft landing on Seascape Beach, onlookers cheer and curious people ask what the experience was like.

As Kevin unhooks me from his chest and I take a few clumsy steps in the sand, all I can think to tell them is, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like nothing youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever imagined.â&#x20AC;?

ALLING out of a tree is not as easy as it sounds. Not if all thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keeping you from a faceful of fiddleheads some 40 feet below is a thin cable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This one is like the bunny slope,â&#x20AC;? our canopy tour guide, Steve Richards, assures us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Enjoy the zip.â&#x20AC;? And then he tips off the edge of the wooden platform

built treehouse-style around the trunk of a living redwood tree and whizzes across a 158-foot zipline, his shadow dancing along just behind him in the sunlit brush below.

Tour coordinator Laurie Loof bourrow confesses that if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to chicken out, the first zipline on the Mt. Hermon ¨

AC;;3@B7;3 4C< B63 /7@ C> B63@3 Conference Center Canopy Tour is the place to do it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get easier,â&#x20AC;? she says, clicking the safety clamps attached to my belt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re nervous right here, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get better.â&#x20AC;?

In order to zip, you just sit back in the harness like a baby in a cradle and let go. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doubly secured to the galvanized steel cable. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re helmeted and strapped in. But when Richardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; voice on the walkie-talkie chirps, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Zip clear, Laurie,â&#x20AC;? the idea of stepping out into thin air feels like a really stupid idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready for you,â&#x20AC;? Loof bourrow coaxes gently. Who are we talking about, exactly?

To Loof bourrow, this is the best part of the Canopy Tour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the biggest thrill for a lot of people is because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so far up in the trees,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The adrenaline comes from being so far up and trusting the equipment.â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to note, since the ride from tree to tree feels rather leisurely, with time to take in the view above, below and 360 degrees around, so long as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not panicking the whole way over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not a thrill ride,â&#x20AC;? says Loofbourrow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an experience and a unique perspective on the redwood forest.â&#x20AC;?

The Canopy Tour is also designed more as an educational and team-

building experience, so rather than flying from tree to tree conga-line style, Richards waits for each group to make it to the next platformâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;built from sustainable redwood and designed to allow the tree to continue to growâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; where he points out ponderosa pines and fire scars. And then, of course, he makes sure to share with us how high up weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be this time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be 150 feet up,â&#x20AC;? he says, balancing nonchalantly on the tips of his Converse sneakers on the very edge of the platform. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the second half of the tour, people get comfortable and start looking around. Enjoy this one, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really fun.â&#x20AC;? And off he goes.

In the fleeting seconds of airtime, it is possible to watch the humming birds pester one another, whiz by an abandoned squirrelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nest, and to feel the blast of cool air coming up from the forest floor. By the last of the six jumps, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to go again, this time without all the teeth-clenching. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very intentional in nature,â&#x20AC;? says Loof bourrow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like people to come away with a sense of awe.â&#x20AC;?

Cheap Thrill The Boardwalkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Sea Swings ride simulates flight for a song 0G ;7163::3 1/;3@:7<5=

S

EVEN-year-old Mahayelea Florez tugs on one of her pigtails curiously while waiting in line with her mom to ride Sea Swings, the newest addition to the Boardwalkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family of rides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look scary,â&#x20AC;? she says, taking in the parade of swings whirling overhead. Finally tall enough to ride alone, Florez is relieved she isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one of the many smaller kids getting turned away and sends her mom to wait at the exit where other parents are busy snapping photos.

The Sea Swings took residence on the Boardwalk block overlooking Main Beach in November, and this year marks its first full season. It replaced

the Typhoon, the dual hammer-shaped ride that, according to staff, was losing popularity. Built in Italy, then assembled in Santa Cruz, the Sea Swings stands 36 feet tall. Fiberglass chairs hang suspended from chains that lift and spin on a rotating center axle, whirling riders up and over the sandâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;sometimes flinging flip-flops along the way. While Florez was midride, the little girl next to her lost her shoe in the sand.

After everyone is buckled in, the chairs lift and the ride starts slowly before picking up speed. Riders are suspended around full circle as its 54foot-long chains splay outward. Around each bend the swings are forced into a ¨

ticklish dip, causing squeals and flutters.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those rides that make you feel weightless, both physically and emotionally. Something about being propelled through the ocean air, feet dangling and with a dumb grin, is instantly gratifyingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you feel young again.

An old-school vibe gives the Sea Swings its charm. The spinning-top canopy and central column feature bright art-deco flourishes and vintage scenes of surfers and sunbathers

from the Boardwalkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past. The old photographs were carefully selected from historical archives before being rendered into paintings for the ride.

The ride proved popular with vacationers in April, and if a recent sunny Saturday is any indication, Sea Swings has a busy summer aheadâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the line was consistently full throughout the afternoon. Florez gave her seal of approval as she skipped down the exit to meet her mom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would definitely ride it again,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels like flying.â&#x20AC;? Ă

URING the Great Depression, the entertainment industry offered up escapist enjoyment for the masses eager to forget their woes. Economists are too busy pulling the wool down past their foreheads to mutter the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dâ&#x20AC;? word, but we can see history repeating itselfâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;onstage, anyway. This summer the theaters are

all about lighthearted laughs and tall tales, with a touch of art-imitating-life backstabbing.

The one place that exemplifies escapism is over the rainbow. 1OP`WZZ] AbOUS brings Santa Cruz the gift of The Wizard of Oz with all the songs that made the film adaptation so popular. Dorothy and the gang travel the Yellow Brick ¨

Road with a 20-piece orchestra from July 17 through Aug. 16. Before setting off to see the wizard, Cabrillo Stage goes in search of a more elusive goalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the key to a successful relationship. The musical comedy I Love You, Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Perfect, Now Change runs June 26 through July 26 and heralds the return of director Andrew Ceglio from last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Forever Plaid.

Cabrillo Stage doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t corner the market on whimsical worlds and fantastical relationships this season.

AVOYSa^SO`S AO\bO 1`ch is reprising the puckish A Midsummer Nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream. From July 22 through Aug. 30, the Festival Glen will transform into a decimated forest teeming with fairies and lovers growing out of the ashes.

As new life and passion grows from Midsummerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s postwar ruins, UCSCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mainstage takes theater back to its basics with Shipwrecked! An Entertainmentâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The Amazing Adventures of Louis de Rougemont (As Told by Himself.) Aided by simple theatrical effects, de Rougemont takes the audience on a fantastical journey that weaves a wonderful yarn of globetrotting storytelling. Eric Ting, recently named one of the top 25 directors to watch by American Theatre Magazine, directs this adjective-filled tall tale from July 21 through Aug. 30.

Adjectives may be a great way to fluff up a fable, but they can also buy you precious seconds as you create your next line. Improvfest returns to the /Qb]`a¸

BVSOb`S on Fridays and Saturdays between July 10 and Aug. 1. For theater with a little more structure, but not quite a full production, the Actorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Theatre also hosts regular cold readings. Works in progress and staged readings receive their spotlight with a rotating series of directors and themes throughout the summer months and beyond.

As Dorothy taught us, we all have to go home at some point. Still, when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to leave the comedy behind, the summer theater season gives us plenty of reasons not to click our heels together quite yet. >OQWTWQ @S^S`b]`g BVSOb`S on the Monterey Peninsula brings to life the century-old sketches of Arthur Schnitzlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s La Ronde. Reworked

by David Hare, The Blue Room brings the frank sexual politics of the past into stark realization in the present. Playing May 28 through July 18, the interwoven stories of sexual dynamics are sure to ignite the foggy night sky.

While The Blue Room hits the bedroom, Shakespeare Santa Cruzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third offering of the season hits a little closer to homeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;perhaps closer than one might think. In Julius Caesar, SSC has chosen a classical story of political power wrangling, imperial impulses and underhanded backstabbing. Budget constraints are making for a shorter season, but SSCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer offerings lack nothing in potency. Ă AB/@A =< 16C@16 AB@33B ¨ %

NE OF todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most talked-about composers makes his debut appearance at this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music in Santa Cruz. Osvaldo Golijov joins nine other composers in residence who will gather to witness their own works spread across six orchestral programsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;one

more than last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five. Free events and open rehearsals start Aug. 2; concert performances will be staged Aug. 7â&#x20AC;&#x201C;16.

Argentine-born Golijov, now recognized worldwide for his St. Mark Passion and the opera Ainadamar, was represented in absentia with two works at last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival. The composer, who has assimilated classical and vernacular styles from all over, is

coming to Cabrillo to hear his cello concerto, Azul, played by the young star of the instrument, Alisa Weilerstein (daughter of the Cleveland Quartetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founding principal violinist, Donald Weilerstein, and pianist Vivian Hornik Weilerstein). A critically acclaimed artist on the international scene, lauded for her power and intensity, Alisa Weilerstein has performed Azul many times, including a prior collaboration with Cabrillo Festival music director Marin Alsop. For the piece, they will be joined by hyperaccordionist Michael Ward-Bergeman. This festival-opening program includes the U.S. premiere of Australian composer Brett Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Amphitheatre and the world premiere of British composer David Heathâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rise From the Dark, both men joining Golijov in residence.

At the Aug. 8 concert, composers Erico Chapela will hear his inguesu, Avner Dorman his Spices, Perfumes, Toxins! and Dean his Moments of Bliss, all local premieres. Other composers in residence are Aussie Matthew Hindson; Americans Lee Johnson, Ingram Marshall and Kevin Puts and Brit Joby Talbot. On Aug. 9, in honor of the 14th anniversary of Jerry Garciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, Alsop and the orchestra will gratefully serve up a benefit performance of Lee Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popular Dead Symphony no. 6.

Finland-born Magnus Lindberg, the New York Philharmonicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s composer-inresidence-in-waiting, is represented by his Seht die Sonne (Behold the Sun), which has attracted acclaim in Europe and America and got a rave last year from San Francisco Chronicle critic Joshua Kosman (the same critic who denounced the composerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Concerto for Orchestra after hearing it at the 2005 Cabrillo Festival).

Other eagerly anticipated works on the Lindberg program are James MacMillanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s symphonic suite from his opera The Sacrifice and the U.S. premiere of Talbotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Desolation Wilderness, inspired by the desert side of the Sierra Nevada.

The Festival finale, at Mission San Juan Bautista, is no less intriguing, offering George Tsontakisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homage to French music, Clair de lune, Marshallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;spiritualâ&#x20AC;?

Kingdom Come, Putsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Two Mountain Scenes and Aaron Jay Kernisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Invisible Mosaic III.

B63 </BC@/: UCSC student Christine Le aced the Britannia Arms Songwriterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Showcase,

despite the fact that she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know it was a contest.

Walk-on Home Run Local musician wins contest on a whim 0G 1C@B7A 1/@B73@

HEN Christine Le entered herself in the Britannia Arms Songwriterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Showcase, she had no idea it was a contest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it was an open mic,â&#x20AC;? says the stunning 21-year-old musician and UCSC student. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came with my guitar and they said that someone hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shown up and that I could play in their spot. It was pretty surprising when it turned out to be a judged competition.â&#x20AC;?

Despite her naivetĂŠ, Le won that round and eventually advanced to the final competition last Tuesday at the Britannia Arms pub in Aptos. There, she wowed both the judges and audience members with her crystal clear voice and poppy guitar work, capturing first place overall.

Now sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be rewarded with eight hours of free recording time at Mars Studio in Aptos and is looking to turn her folk pop numbers into career-starting hits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At school, a lot of times Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in class writing lyrics instead of taking notes,â&#x20AC;? says Le, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in her third year studying psychology at UCSC and will soon leave for a four-month study-abroad experience in Barbados. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited to go to the studio and get some of these songs recorded.â&#x20AC;?

Leâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music, like any decent musicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, is tough to pigeonhole. With influences ranging from the Beatles to Esperanza Spalding and Natalie Cole, she draws on

a wide swath of musical backgrounds.

Classically trained on the piano since age 6, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also no stranger to music theory or to performing. Lyrically, her songs are mostly romantic. Both â&#x20AC;&#x153;Troubleâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grain of Sand,â&#x20AC;? which she played during her winning set last Tuesday, are written about a past relationship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first song was about infatuation and about commitment. I think both men and women sometimes have a problem with commitment,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just try to be honest in my songs and tell it how it is.â&#x20AC;?

Ken Capitanich of Mars Studio says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thrilled to work with the young musician and that, with a few lucky breaks, she could be on her way to the top. Capitanich is responsible for organizing the Songwriterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Showcase. Each year, he says, he sees talented musicians with plenty of potential, but most are in need of some added direction. In Leâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, however, he says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already on the right track. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think her songs are very easy to connect with,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a modern and fresh approach and her dynamics are very good. I think sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rising local star.â&#x20AC;?

Pixar has faith in an audienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to feel without being manipulatedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes them more than just a studio with an unusually dazzling command of the vocabulary of animation Up is playing in Real 3-D. This is certainly the best version of stereoscopic 3-D, a technology tried out since the late 1920s and apparently even earlier.

Coralineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use of it was more startling, but the sharp 3-D work here gives Up more realism, as when the house is sailing over a sea of thick clouds or the landscapes of a beckoning 10,000-foot waterfallâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a triple-size version of Venezuelaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Angel Falls. Sweetly, the story ends not in some terrestrial paradise but on Oaklandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Piedmont Avenue. This winning 10th film by Pixar takes you away and brings you home again.

LARRY BLOOD

it looks like a float in some Macyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parade of despair. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a burden of memories the old man can neither carry nor leave behind.

And Up would be a sweet nothing if it werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for all this grounding. Certainly, most people will care about the sense of buoyancy. But while loving Upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ingenuity and humor, one also respects Docterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refusal to stint the other side of adventure: pain, disappointment and even a tiny amount of blood. The movie keeps its serious mood even as it changes gears into high adventure, with chases, ascensions and a literal aerial dogfight.

Raiders of the Lost Ark (PG)

(PG-13; 99 min.) Director Sam Raimi wrote the script for this film almost 20 years ago with his brother Ivan, but apparently all it takes to distract this guy is a billion-dollar superhero franchise. Finally, Raimi gets back to the horror

genre, which made his career with the success of the Evil Dead films.

Perhaps not surprisingly, the makeup for the hell-draggy creatures looks sort of the like the demon chicks trapped in the basement in the first Evil Dead. Then again, Ash would never say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drag me to hell.â&#x20AC;? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gimme some sugar.â&#x20AC;? (Opens Fri at Fox and Green Valley.)

generally assumed this Spielberg/Lucas hit has become a classic (and is often cited as the greatest adventure movie of all time) because it so successfully nailed the spirit of the 1940s Republic serials on which itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s based, but I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more to it than that. Raiders is notable

for its references to a wide cross-section of pop cultureâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;like Star Wars, which was the first mainstream action film to acknowledge its audiencesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; love and knowledge of movies by repackaging a pastiche of many of the great ones in a creative way and presenting it as an entirely new film.

Now such â&#x20AC;&#x153;homagesâ&#x20AC;? are so commonplace itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cliche for directors to work the art that inspired them into their own art, but Raiders was among the first to do this. Plus, its pop-

Movie reviews by Steve Palopoli and Richard von Busack

culture cannibalism was fueled by two hardened fanboys, Spielberg and Lucas, rather than just one. Thus we get many references to their own films (Star Wars, Duel, etc.) as well as bits from a 1959 Donald Duck comic (the entire opening scene is based on it), the Steve McQueen film Nevada Smith (get it?), the 1973 version of Lost Horizon, Citizen Kane (love those crates!) and a lot more.

Ironically, Raiders has itself gone on to be referenced and ripped-off in probably more movies than any other film

apart from the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s short of The Road Warrior. Like the man said, pop will eat itself. (Plays Fri and Sat midnight at the Del Mar.) (SP) B63 A67<7<5 (1980)

People argued for years over whether this was a worthy adaptation of Stephen Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book.

Then the 1997 TV miniseries came out and sucked the air right out of that debate. I mean, Kubrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version may not be perfect, but it least it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have Steven Weber from As the World Turns as Jack!

course, is Jack Nicholson in the film that defined his larger-than-life â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wacky Jackâ&#x20AC;? persona.

(It could be argued that as an actor, he never recovered.) Repeat viewings reveal this one is edgierâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and more funâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;than its stodgy reputation suggests. The best of thousands of pop-culture references is courtesy of The Simpsons: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s odd, the blood usually gets off at the second floor!â&#x20AC;?

@3D73EA /2D3<BC@3:/<2

(R; 106 min.) The intelligence and malaise level in Adventureland are fairly high considering that the film is, deep in its bones, a barf, boner and bong teen comedy. The action is set in the summer of 1987. James (Jesse Eisenberg) is a Holden Caulfieldish privileged student expecting the European tour after graduating high school, but his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money has run out, and James will have to land a job somewhere to pay for tuition to Columbia. At the amusement park called Adventureland he meets Em (Kristen Stewart), a sharp but quiet girl heading to NYU, and Joel (Martin Starr), a poverty-stricken intellectual. Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig play the couple running the amusement park. (RvB) /<53:A /<2 23;=<A (PG-13;

139 min.) Tom Hanks, renegade Harvard symbologist, is called in on a plot to vaporize the Vatican. Meanwhile, a killer from the Illuminati offs one high-ranking cardinal an hour. The money is onscreen, as Hanks zips around Rome and scuttles through old churches. Co-writer and frequent offender Akiva Goldsman adds his aroma to the script; a speech reconciling science and faith is of particular shininess. As the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girl, Ayelet Zurer plays a European physicist, dressed down like a Sunday school

teacher in Ogden, Utah.

A handy helicopter with the keys left in the ignition brings up a burst of bad-movie audacity at the end; this, sadly, proceeds a twist ending so weakly integrated into the show that it looks like the cast sat down together and watched the alternate finale on DVD extras. (RvB) 3/@B6 (G; 90 min.)

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Earth, we just live here. James Earl Jones rumbles on the soundtrack as the sunrise is viewed from outer space. Holding the series of critter encounters together is the plight of a polar bear familyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dad,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Momâ&#x20AC;? and two cubs, an heir and a spareâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;during the course of a year.

The stunning small effects make more of an impression. Remarkable time-lapse photography pans gently across a valley while observing the yearly change of a forest of deciduous trees from bare branches to scarlet leaves. Otherwise, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the usual: shark vs. seal, polar bear vs. walrus, lions vs. elephant, and cheetah vs. gazelle. To the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credit, Disney bites the bullet: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The planet is warming,â&#x20AC;?

Jones says, leaving no room for backpedaling.

Very, very cute, and the ending is somehow happy and comforting, just like the critter shows one drowses through at the end of a beery Sunday. (RvB) B63 57@:4@73<2 3F>3@73<13 (R;

112 min.) Nebbishy L.A. Realtor Peter (Paul Rudd) is going to get married.

He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a best man for his wedding, since heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been a man who preferred womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company. After a series of failed â&#x20AC;&#x153;mandates,â&#x20AC;? he finds his perfect buddy, an overgrown boy of an investor named Sydney (Jason Segel, of Forgetting Sarah Marshall), but the friendship becomes obsessive to the point where Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiancee, Zooey (Rashida

Jones), has enough.

Ruddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charmingly outof-it qualities are at their best in a scene where he tries to play 007 during a tuxedo fitting. Just like jerks in real life, Sydney is refreshing in tiny doses, and Rob Huebel and Jon Favreau are good playing different varieties of bastards, covert and overt, respectively. And yet in some ways, the film gave me the creeps worse than any Frat Packer yet; was it director John Hamburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beige, deracinated L.A., with its exotic excursion to Chinatown? Was it the supposedly hilarious repeated bit about Sydney refusing to curb his dog, so that everyone has to step in it? Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the way this and the many, many comedies like it keep doggedly patrolling the supposedly indivisible line between men and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and making that line the biggest comedic cul-de-sac since they buried Neil Simon. (RvB) 7A /<G0=2G B63@3-

(PG-13; 103 min.)

Disappointing comedy/ tragedy of an aged magician (Michael Caine) facing a final curtain in a dowdy Yorkshire retirement home during the nadir of the Thatcher years. Caine and his foil, a precocious little boy played by Bill Milner, elevate the material, but director John Crowley canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a tone. The terrible title shows some kind of proud antientertainment streak, a terrible lack of show business acumen that a real magician would know to avoid. (RvB) ;/</53;3<B (R; 100 min.) It makes sense that Steve Zahn has never been a romanticcomedy lead. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the funniest guys in the movies, but can you imagine Jennifer Aniston swooning over him? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why it was smart for the makers of this movie to set him up as motel manager who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but pursue her no matter how many times she rejects him.

And of course as his competition they hired a gorgeous superstud, in the form ofâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Woody Harrelson? Wait, that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be right. Huh. Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m totally confused. (SP)

Geez, maybe next time he can find something controversial to make a documentary on! (SP) @C2= G 1C@A7 (R; 110 min.) A reunion of Diego Luna and Gael GarcĂ­a Bernal from Y tu mamĂĄ tambiĂŠn; great to have them back even in a lesser movie. The narrator is Batuta, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Batonâ&#x20AC;?

(Guillermo Francella), who is full of charming fatalistic proverbs about the relation between soccer and life. Baton is an essentially a trickster figure, with dyed whiskers and a sports car, ruining a pair of rural banana plantation workers by making their dreams come true; thanks to Baton they become futbol stars, but Betoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gambling and Tatoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hopeless ambition to become a singer ruin them both. Diverting, and you get a lot of Mexico in the movie, but because of its slight patronization, the film is only almost really funny and only almost really tragic; however, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elegantly moraled:

UCSC grad Cary Fukunagaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s startling debut concerns the crossMexico run of a doomed gangbanger (Edgar Flores) and the girl who comes to love him, Sayra (Paulina Gaitan). For a young first-time feature filmmaker, Fukunaga has succeeded at reconciling the tragedy and beauty of this life on the run.

The movie contains multitudes: pearlescent dawn shots of smoking volcanoes, barrios seen from the crowded top of a freight train. There are lyrical interludes of refuge at stops along the rail yards where the travelers bathe and are fed. Be warned that this passionately told, moody film includes the horrific side of urban Mexican life. Could Sin Nombre be the first post-hip-hop urban movie? (RvB) B63 A=:=7AB (PG-13; 117 min.) On again, off again true-life story of a deranged street musician (Jamie Foxx) who turns out to have spent time at Juilliard; this and more is teased out during his troubled friendship with his Boswell (Robert Downey Jr., very good and very dry), an L.A.

Times columnist named Steve Lopez. The highlight is the nighapocalyptic view of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boiling homeless encampment, like something out of Bosch.

The backstory of Lopezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s romantic troubles, a fictional subplot borrowed from His Girl Friday is by contrast about as believable as a bumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tale about why he needs a dollar. Foxx does some artistically athletic turnsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;he switches gears fastâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but his hammy, babbling rain-man gets on the nerves, and his acting in the flashback scenes is almost risible.

The Soloist demonstrates one of the essential marks of simple-minded scriptwriting: the idea of that the disturbed have a special conduit to the divine. (RvB) AB/@ B@39 (PG-13; 136 min.) Happily, J.J. Abramsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; version of the 40-year-old story is a loving refurbishing of an old structure, rather than a demolishing.

Traditions honored include the green babe (Rachel Nichols) and the red-shirted ensign. As Kirk, Chris Pine himself is the ham this sandwich needs. Zachary Quinto is very poised as Spock, the tragic mulatto of space. Abramsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tendency to undervillain the picture is redeemed by

his making the villain fast, raging and large.

Eric Bana, made up so that his face looks like a spiderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abdomen, plays Nero, a Romulan renegade escaped from the future. The filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only conventional love interest involves Zoe Saldanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Uhuru, drawn to Spock, as who wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be. The filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real tension arises in the partnership between Kirk and Spockâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;two halves of one great leader, calm calculation meeting insane daring. (RvB) AC<A67<3 1:3/<7<5

(R; 102 min.) In Albuquerque, two sisters get into the lucrative field of cleaning up after dead bodies. Christine Jeff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mostly pleasant comedy of death and bloodshed is lit up like a pink lamp shade by the ever-lovable Amy Adams and given some dark highlights by Emily Blunt as her grimier sibling. The film seems trampled over by a producerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cold feet, but whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left has charm and hard-nosed humor. With Alan Arkin as the feckless father of the sistersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; looking fit as usual, Arkin; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably get a shovel and bury us all some day.

Talk about a comeback! I have a sneaking suspicion Arnold is wishing heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d stuck around to star in this Salvationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;cause he ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gettingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; any in Sacramento, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sure. (SP) F ;3< =@757<A( E=:D3@7<3 (PG-

The final fight is more of a video game and so heavily synthesized that few moments have any punch to them. One remembers the first X-Men with Wolverine discussing his claws with Anna Paquin and how it hurt â&#x20AC;&#x153;every time.â&#x20AC;?

Astrology Free Will

By Rob

Brezsny

For the week of May 27 /@73A (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19): While reading a crime report in the online version of Northern Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arcata Eye newspaper, I came across this entry: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A dreadlocked man attacked a lamp post on the Plaza with his mighty fists, punching it while yelling and, in the memorable description of a witness, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fighting amongst himself.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? I immediately thought of you, Aries. According to my analysis of the omens, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been fighting amongst yourself withâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;how shall I say this?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;crafty ferocity. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be ecstatic if I could convince you to call a truce, begin peace talks, and maybe even begin practicing some crafty tenderness toward yourself.

B/C@CA (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20): When you Tauruses are at your best, you get into a groove but not into a rutâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;humming along with creative efficiency, not just going through the motions or repeating the same old tired shticks. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at the top of your game, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve surrounded yourself with stimuli that make you feel peaceful and comfortable.

Other people may work well under pressure and accomplish most when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re driven by stress, but you usually need to be at ease in order to access your deep brilliance. From what I can tell, everything I just said is a description of what will be happening in the coming weeks.

53;7<7 (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20): Research shows that if a stranger gazes at you for at least 8.2 seconds, he or she is definitely interested in you. If, on the other hand, the look lasts 4.5 seconds or less, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no attraction. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m guessing that the percentage of long scrutinies you receive in the coming weeks will be higher than usual. Your raw charisma levels will be up, as will your ability to make strong first impressions. How do you plan to exploit the advantages this will give you, Gemini? According to my projections, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a good time to meet some allies of the future.

1/<13@ (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22): One of the tastiest frogs in the world is at risk of dying out as a species.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;mountain chickenâ&#x20AC;? frog, once a fixture on the chain of Caribbean islands known as Montserrat, has become endangered through loss of habitat, disease, and over-hunting by humans. In response to the crisis, conservationists have airlifted a number of survivors to new homes, attempting to save their kind from extinction. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for you to arrange a comparable intervention of your own, Cancerian. A sweet and delicious part of you or your world is not exactly thriving, and needs some strenuous help and care.

:3= (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 22): A Florida woman, upset that her local McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had run out of Chicken McNuggets, phoned the 911 emergency service line for help. In an unrelated incident, a Florida man took the same action when Burger King told him it had no lemonade to sell him. I recommend that you not indulge in similar overreactions in the coming week, Leo. The Drama Queen or Drama King archetype is threatening to possess you, and I suspect youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to act forcefully to keep it away. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re successful, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be visited by a far more congenial archetypeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Social Butterf ly. And that would prove to be amusing and productive.

D7@5= (Aug. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sept. 22): Most of you Virgos have built-in safeguards that ensure you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t abuse power. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I feel uninhibited about advising you to grab all the new authority and inf luence you can get in the next few weeks. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those phases in your astrological cycle when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more likely to be in line for promotions, new privileges and increased clout. I hope you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be shy. You may have to be uncharacteristically aggressive as you claim your rightful potency and rewards. :70@/ (Sept. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct. 22): In the coming days, the surprise and delight quotient will be way up.

I bet youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be more prone than usual to uttering exclamations. There may also be a confounding â&#x20AC;&#x153;aha!â&#x20AC;? and a mind-wobbling â&#x20AC;&#x153;What the frack?!â&#x20AC;? mixed in there, although I think the emphasis will be on developments that educate and entertain you.

Since you will probably be ushered in the direction of the frontier, I think you should find new ways to express your amazement. Instead of cliches like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jesus H. Christ!â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Holy crap!â&#x20AC;?, why not try something fresh, like the following: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great Odinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raven!â&#x20AC;? . . . â&#x20AC;&#x153;Radical lymphocytes!â&#x20AC;? . . . â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cackling whacks of jibber-jabber!â&#x20AC;? . . . â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frosty heat waves!â&#x20AC;? . . . â&#x20AC;&#x153;Panoramic serpentine.â&#x20AC;? Any other ideas?

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov. 21): As I was driving out in the country, I spied a curious statement written in large crooked letters on a homemade sign: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have seen the truth and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m guessing you might feel that way yourself right now, Scorpio. You have summoned the courage to see the deeper reality beneath the official story, but that has made you more confused than you were when you only possessed a smattering of iffy facts. So youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re smarter and better informed, but are nonetheless feeling less secure. My advice: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t f lee back into the fake comfort of comfy delusions. If you can maintain your poise in the face of the raging ambiguity, you will ultimately be rewarded with a big dose of cathartic clarity.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec. 21): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wisdom is knowing I am nothing,â&#x20AC;? said Indian philosopher Nisargadatta Maharaj. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love is knowing I am everything. And between the two my life moves.â&#x20AC;?

According to my calculations, Sagittarius, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be more on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;knowing you are everythingâ&#x20AC;? side of the polarity for the next few weeks. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because a f lood is imminent. I expect youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be on the receiving end of a massive outreach from the universeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;an inf lux of invitations, inquiries, and offers to make connection.

You should also be prepared for the dizzying pleasure that comes from seeing how profoundly interlinked and interdependent you are.

1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan. 19): This is my pledge to you, Capricorn: I promise to use all my otherworldly connections to get your karmic debt reduced in the next few weeks. In return, I ask that you make these pledges to me: You promise not to be a self-pitying martyr or a cranky beast of burden or a willing victim of rank manipulation. You agree not to just follow sloppy orders or passively capitulate as some bad guy with a nice smile tries to lower your standards. And finally, you swear to feed a really healthy desire that will ultimately help give your other desires more integrity and nobility.

/?C/@7CA (Jan. 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb. 18): â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all have a blind spot in love,â&#x20AC;? says astrologer Jessica Shepherd at moonkissed.com. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Never simple to figure out and even harder to see head on, our blind spot is as unique and complexly layered as we are.â&#x20AC;? But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a hopeless cause, I would add. In fact, you may ultimately be able to discern the contours of your special ignorance about romance; you may find a way to fix the unconscious glitch that has undermined your quest for meaningful intimacy. How should you proceed? Well, you will need skillful ingenuity, a willingness to gaze upon a f lustering truth about yourself, and maybe a little miraculous grace. And now hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the very good news, Aquarius: It so happens that all these things are available to you right now. >7A13A (Feb. 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20): Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a ripe time to revise and rework your past, Pisces. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll trust you to make the ultimate determination about how best to do that, but here are some possibilities. 1. Revisit a memory that has haunted you, and do a ritual that resolves it and brings you peace. 2. Return to the scene of an awkward anomaly that remains unsettled, and finally do a duty you neglected. 3. Make your way back to a dream you wandered away from prematurely, and either recommit yourself to it, or put it to rest for good. 4. Dig up and contemplate a secret that has been festering, and come to a decision about what you can do to heal it.
