Cambrian Days I take extreme umbrage to the article written about “The Cambrian Eraâ€? by Gary Singh (Silicon Alleys, June 17). The only “suburban wastelandâ€? in the Cambrian neighborhood 25 years ago was in the heart and soul of the writer whose apparent darkened spirit clouded his vision of this beautiful community which was near the center of the “Valley of the Heart’ss Delight.â€? The writer based his opinion on one small strip mall which is not a reection of the entire community. I was born and raised in Cambrian in the 1950s, and I have lived here ever since. Who can forget the miles of fruit orchards ablaze with colorful springtime blossoms? The beginning of summer was always marked by the smell of fresh fruit being cut, dried and packed in the nearby canneries and the plethora of butteries that uttered through the air, frequently landing on the many varieties of owers seeking their nectar. Cambrian Park was a safe and wholesome community to raise

Reality Check Regarding Diane Sarmento’s letter in the June 10 issue, she nailed it on the head. The protesters of Psycho Donuts are completely misguided. I just learned from one of the PD employees that some protesters are ying in from the state of Washington to protest during the morning of July 11! I will be there

with some friends to counteract this ridiculous gathering. Why aren’t they protesting the living conditions or the proper resource care or (as Diane stated) “insurance companies that don’t support proper hospitalization and cover the medication.� Are these protesters even aware that PD have sent donations to mental illness organizations (at least one of which was returned!) This is yet another example of an overly

˜

gby;!519/3:9/1713

sensitive, humorless group of people that aren’t looking at the sources of where the true issues lie. This is a donut shop! Enjoy the food offerings but move on to the true source of mental illness issues. Stop wasting time and energy. As Diane Sarmento so eloquently put it, “Really? Donuts?� Jim Rauh Santa Clara

children for it was blessed with little if any crime and moderate weather. Summer evenings were spent with the neighborhood kids who gathered together every day for softball games in the street, neighborhood carnivals, Hideand-Seek and Mother-May-I until 9:30 at night when we would all hear our parents yelling down the street for us to come in. Regardless of the religious affiliation, most people attended church services on Sunday 25 years ago. Being Catholic, I attended Mass at St. Frances Cabrini Church which began in a small red barn (still standing today) and then grew into a large Mission-style church located in the heart of Cambrian along Camden Avenue. Cambrian Park has no gritty past to be ashamed of as described in Mr. Singh’s article. The orchards may be gone but not the memories of a community that was a “slice of the all American dream� and touched by the hand of God. Margaret Schillage San Jose

J!Tbxzpv Pet Peeve You are my pet peeve! You, the girl who works out in the gym with full faced makeup and perfectly coifed hair draping down over your shoulders. I mean—seriously? You are not here to work out, you are here to work ‘IT,’ and I am on to you! Oh, and by the way, you don’t have anything on me nor are you making me look bad, you just look dumb. While my toned body is dripping of sweat and the sweet smell of tough chic heightens the boys’ pheromones, you are on some elliptical with an invisible stick up your butt which makes your hair to swoosh from side to side while you stare into the mirror mesmerized by yourself. You’re like a dumb cat. Don’t get me wrong, I am always trying to give others the beneďŹ t of the doubt, and I try not to place judgment by coming up with the fact that perhaps this annoying chick is taking the concept ‘you never know who you are going to meet’ to the extreme, but give me a break! Curled hair, heavy eyeliner and lipstick? Obviously, she is at the gym in hopes of some sort of love connection where the only sweat she plans on breaking is not anywhere near a treadmill. Aww, my little pet peeve, how you make me laugh. Now get out of my way and take your self-absorbed fashion show somewhere else; this gym is not for prancers! SEND US your anonymous rants, raves, gripes and diatribes about your co-workers, bosses, enemies or any badly behaving citizen who rankles your ire—or about citizens you admire.

Farewell, Johnny V’s

T

HIS SUNDAY marks the final blowout gig at one of downtown San Jose’s most popular dive bars and longstanding supporters of live underground music, Johnny V’s. The address of 31 E. Santa Clara St. will never be the same. Now, there are two threads I must embroider on this one. First, Johnny’s has meant so much to so many of its bartenders and regular customers over the last six years that even by last week, several folks were already posting memories of the place on Facebook—bands they saw, friends they met, hookups that happened or gigs that went down. I can personally vouch for one Silicon Alleys column and one news story in particular that featured scenes in that bar. But even more, there exists a rich history behind that street address, going back to 1912, when Santa Clara Street was a dirt road. Recently, Johnny’s was the quintessential hole-in-the-wall dive where you could just pop in and see some loud bands a few nights a week. Touring rock acts would play for next to nothing. Every New Year’s Day, Johnny’s would open at 6am and cater to those who were still up partying. Legendary DJs like Rick Preston or Harry Whoo would usually be at the decks for what was a highly popular affair. For me personally, some intrepid reportage I penned in 2005 would not have succeeded without Johnny V’s. In what turned out to be a scream of a story, I hit the meat-market bars with a $50-an-hour paid female wingman from ladywingmen. com as an assistant to hit on women. After tripping through an art reception and then the jock bars, we wound up at Johnny V’s, with her schooling me on pickup techniques as I scoped out the cute female bartenders. One year later, in this space, I referred to Johnny V’s as the “Beverly Hills of the Santa Clara Street block between First and Second.” You see, I had just returned from some freelance business at the Beverly Hills Hilton and after flying back to San Jose, I went straight to a show by local punk legends, the Forgotten, at Johnny V’s. So I compared and contrasted the corner of Wilshire and Santa Monica boulevards in Beverly Hills with the garbage, the bums, the homeless, the dealers, the halfwayhouse inhabitants and the urine and empty soup cans that comprised the corner of First and Santa Clara three years ago. At least for a few days, that column was on the wall inside Johnny V’s. From 1912 straight up until sometime in the mid-’80s, this address housed the Oyster Loaf Café. Turns out the address Croatian-born Frank Arnerich was of 31 E. Santa Clara St. the proprietor for the first 46 years is steeped in history of the eatery’s existence until he retired and turned it over to new and a quick visit to owners in 1958. According to a San the California Room Jose Mercury News column from at the Main Library the late ’60s, one Mr. Jus Minjoulet filled in the gaps had dined at the Oyster Loaf almost every day for 55 straight years. Mr. Arnerich’s story is quite an interesting one. According to a Sept. 20, 1975, obituary in the Mercury News, he came to San Jose in 1907 at the age of 18 and then opened the restaurant five years later. He went on to become both a civic leader and one of the best bowlers on the West Coast. He often told stories of how First and Santa Clara was a dirt intersection when he first opened the Oyster Loaf Café. He was a member of many fraternal organizations and his descendents still live in the area. By the time the 1990s rolled around, an Irish bar and restaurant called Paddy’s opened at the same location. To this author’s recollection, it was the first nonsmoking bar in San Jose, before those laws even emerged. After that, the venue degenerated into an absolute dump called Tremor’s before Johnny resurrected the place and brought in live rock bands. With glasses raised on high, I salute 31 E. Santa Clara St. Got a great Johnny’s memory? Let us know at SiliconAlleys@metronews.com.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk Sets the Record Straight We reported a few weeks ago that UNPLUGGED Fmpo!Nvtl-!tipxo!jo!ijt! Tesla co-founder Martin Eberhard Spbetufs-!jt!po!uif!dpvoufsbuubdl/ filed a lawsuit against Tesla and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, citing allegations of slander, libel and breach of contract. Tesla issued a short statement when the lawsuit was filed, calling the lawsuit a “fictionalized account of Tesla’s early years.” Now Musk has taken to Tesla’s blog to give his own version of the messy situation. Unrelated to the lawsuit, Musk says that Tesla will be profitable by next month, thanks to lower material costs, and increased Roadster Sport sales. Musk responded to several of Eberhard’s allegations that he lied about his background and fictionalized pieces of his résumé to embellish the truth. Particularly, Musk addresses Eberhard’s complaints that the PayPal founder misrepresented his education. Musk maintains that he did his undergraduate studies in physics and business at UPenn/Wharton (we confirmed this with Wharton—Musk was an undergraduate alum and holds degrees from both Wharton and the College of Arts & Sciences) and despite dropping out of grad school at Stanford, maintained affiliations with the university by working with the Stanford Engineering Advisory Council. —LEENA RAU, TECHCRUNCH.COM

End of the Trail Dirt bikers want access to an off-road paradise—even if the place is made of poisonous asbestos HE HILL rises out of the barrens, steep graygreen slopes standing in stark contrast to the surrounding scrublands. Even the stubborn pines that populate these mountains shun this patch of dirt. But the approaching rider doesn’t hesitate. He accelerates and leans into the hill, body balanced over the front wheel of his dirt bike, single-cylinder engine grinding as knobby tires chew up the soil into clouds of fine white dust.

Number of people worldwide who die from asbestosrelated diseases each year

The emergency closure was necessary to protect public health, says BLM environmental specialist Sky Murphy of Hollister. But in this case, the public wasn’t keen on being protected. “Rick Copper [sic], I hope you wake up every morning knowing that the 35,000+ CCMA riders Hate You!!!!” a biker who goes by “treerider” wrote on southbayriders .com, a forum for motorcyclists in the Bay Area, referring to BLM Hollister field manager Rick Cooper. The BLM estimates that Clear Creek once got 35,000 visits each year, but says the number of riders is far smaller, as many are repeat visitors. “It felt like a death in the family,” says Zesiger, who rode at “the Creek” for more than a decade. Such strong emotions boiled over at the public meetings held by the BLM immediately after the closure; one gathering in San Jose ended with an attendee yelling at Murphy. “Lies!” he shouted. “It’s all lies!” Some riders irked by the closure see these “lies” everywhere they looks—from the EPA’s data collection methods to the BLM’s motives for closing the land. But as the bureaucratic tangle of environmental impact statements and resource management plans drags into its second year, those who would keep Clear Creek open have focused on what they see as the biggest lie of all: Chrysotile asbestos, they say, is not dangerous.

Hollister nationally known as a dirtbikers’ heaven. Hundreds of miles of trails wove through thousands of acres of hills, a departure from many bike parks, where riders are often packed nose-to-tailpipe. And at just a two-hour drive from the South Bay, where hundreds of bikers live, Clear Creek made for a convenient slice of off-road paradise. “It was the best place to ride, maybe ever,” says Michael Zesiger, a San Jose computer consultant and vice president of the Timekeepers Motorcycle Club. But now, the trails are silent, closed to hikers, hunters, rock collectors, botanists, archeologists

and off-road vehicle users like Zesiger. The reason? The very dirt beneath their wheels. Asbestos, a fibrous mineral known for its propensity to cause lung cancer when inhaled, occurs naturally all over California. Clear Creek is home to one of the largest deposits of asbestos-containing rock in the United States—an outcrop slightly larger than San Francisco. In May 2008, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) closed Clear Creek after an Environmental Protection Agency study found dangerously high levels of a particular type of asbestos—known as chrysotile—in the area’s air.

It was an amphibole asbestos that sickened and killed hundreds in the mining town of Libby, Mont. &'

As part of an effort to clean up a nowdefunct asbestos mine, the EPA began air tests around Clear Creek in 2004. The initial asbestos levels were alarmingly high, prompting the BLM to close the area during the summer. Officials reopened the land in the fall, hoping the rainy season moisture would keep the dust down. In May 2008, the final report came out. The conclusion: Visiting Clear Creek could be hazardous to your health—regardless of season. Even hiking in the area once a year over 30 years increased the lifetime risk to more than one in a million, a level the EPA considers risky but “acceptable.” Visitors who kicked up dust on motorcycles or all-terrain vehicles quickly veered out of the acceptable range with increased cancer risks of one in 10,000. Thirty years of riding in Clear Creek for 12 weekends a year bumped the risk close to 1 in 100. The report sent the BLM scrambling to close Clear Creek year-round. But despite the numbers, a mass illness like that in Libby has yet to arise in the area. “Show me the bodies,” says Ed Tobin, a Marina salesman who has ridden extensively in Clear Creek for 30 years In an attempt to discredit the EPA study, the bikers hired Ed Ilgren, a pathologist from Pennsylvania, to testify that the chrysotile at Clear Creek is nontoxic. Ilgren argues that chrysotile is short-fibered and does not cling to lung tissue the same way as its needlelike amphibole cousins. But that’s a dangerous misconception, says EPA Region 9 toxicologist Arnold Den of San Francisco. The EPA only tested for fibers longer than five microns at Clear Creek, and those lengths are closely associated with disease. And as for the bodies? Asbestos kills slowly, says Jere Johnson, an EPA Region 9 project manager, and tracking the medical records of everyone who’s been to Clear Creek would be impossible. “If we’d have waited for the bodies, we haven’t done our job,” she says. “We’re working the prevention end.” But that doesn’t mean there isn’t science behind the EPA’s assessment, Den says. “We have maybe up to 40 human epidemiological studies that demonstrate that all forms of asbestos causes disease,” he says, including a case where workers at a South Carolina textile mill were sickened from pure chrysotile, and a UC-Davis study that found increased rates of mesothelioma in people who lived near naturally occurring asbestos. “It’s just powerful evidence that chrysotile is a potent lung carcinogen.” Researchers do disagree about whether chrysotile is more or less dangerous than other types of asbestos, says Jean Pfau, an immunologist at Idaho State University who has studied the effects of asbestos in Libby. That’s because human studies on the subject are difficult. You can’t expose people to asbestos in a perfectly controlled environment and wait around to see what happens in 20 years. Instead, scientists rely on epidemiology, and animal studies, Pfau says. But those

studies aren’t perfect because animals may not react exactly the same way as humans. Still, Pfau says, there is plenty of evidence that regardless of whether other types of asbestos are worse, exposure to chrysotile causes cancer. “To say that it is safe would be absolutely untrue,” she says. These answers doesn’t satisfy Tobin or many other Clear Creek users, who alternately call the EPA’s conclusions “gobbledygook” and “bullshit.” Until they see the bodies, they’re sticking by Ilgren’s results, though Johnson and Den dismiss him as a nonmainstream industry hire. Ilgren, who is reportedly on a consulting trip to Brazil, could not be reached for comment.

Bad Blood on The Tracks While the EPA provides the data, the BLM makes the final decision on whether Clear Creek stays closed. The local office of the agency has drawn up a management plan that is now being sent to the national BLM offices in Washington, D.C., for review. Murphy hopes to release a draft of that plan to the public on Aug. 14. Then, he’ll schedule another series of public meetings so Clear Creek users can respond. The BLM hopes to leave open a county road through Clear Creek so visitors can reach several remote, uncontaminated areas. But no one would be able to stop or leave the road. And that makes everyone from bikers to botanists unhappy. In the end, the debate may be about politics as much as science. Clear Creek has a messy history, including a lawsuit by the California Native Plant Society alleging that the BLM wasn’t doing enough to protect endangered plants from bikers’ tires. The conflict was settled with stricter riding rules, but it left a lot of bad feelings in its wake. To this day, some bikers are convinced that asbestos is just a convenient excuse for “ecofreaks” to shut them out of yet another riding spot. Others argue that it isn’t the government’s place to protect them from themselves. You’ve told us about the asbestos, they say. Now let us make our own decisions on whether or not we risk our health. “This is a classic land-use battle,” Murphy says. “It has a lot to do with questions about what is government’s role in protecting health and safety and what is public land intended for.” To riders like Zesiger, public land is for public use. Bikers are taxpayers, he says, and local riding clubs worked hard at Clear Creek, contributing money and labor to put up fences and improve campgrounds. “We feel on the short end of the stick like 99 percent of the time,” he says. The government’s closure of his rugged riding spot hasn’t helped, he says: “They’ve lost a lot of my trust.” M

Death Decision

While peak-oil activists foment panic, the ‘Transition’ movement sees a graceful evolution back to the Stone Age By Alastair Bland

Decision F

OR THE PAST couple of years, California has seen an uprising of activists who are training themselves and others to grow food and preserve it, to make soap, weave fabrics, build homes and master other essential tasks. They are learning to do the work that we abandoned to the factories and machines in the late 1800s, when the power of burning oil turned life into a leisurely vacation from reality.

That vacation is now ending, they say, and we must get back to work. Some are reminiscent of survivalists, while others sound like ’60s utopians, but they share one belief: The era of oil is over. “Peak oil” describes a theoretical yet already unfurling scenario in which the easy days of oil-based society have reached an end. Its adherents see a scenario in which global oil production has peaked, and every barrel of crude oil drawn from the earth

from this point forth is more difficult to extract than the barrel prior. According to the peak oil theory, the time is approaching when the effort and cost of extraction will no longer be worth the oil itself, leaving humanity without the fuel to power our transportation, factories, farms—society. How exactly peak oil will affect our world is a question now being asked by thinkers and activists in Silicon Valley and around the globe. Some predict the end of the world as we know it, while others believe we are at the breaking dawn of a better, sustainable society. Two schools of thought are offering their own answers and predictions. They are polar opposites, with one—the Post Carbon movement, which has a local chapter— taking a gloomier approach. Its leaders voice prophecies of a future marred by hunger and misery. 16

TRANSITION 15 The other approach is a warm and heartening contrast, a worldwide movement called Transition. Followers acknowledge that oil-based society has some serious obstacles to consider as fuel production volume diminishes. Yet they remain hopeful. They believe that human ingenuity coupled with a reconnection to the Earth’s natural resources and seasonal cycles will result in a utopia of community gardens, walkable neighborhoods and skilled artisans at every corner.

Transitionists see the end of cheap oil as the beginning of a better world without as much noise, pollution, and social apathy. Their hopeful outlook has quickly drawn followers in an extensive network of localized uprisings on several continents. The nearest Transition Town is Santa Cruz, where activists launched the concept into action last August. Silicon Valley is yet to see such an organized effort, though several locals are already using the word freely.

Beyond Carbon Meanwhile, the local chapter of Post Carbon has attracted just a dozen followers in four years of outreach. One, Saba Malik of Redwood City, is wary of being too optimistic of our future. A married mother of two who several years ago began growing conscious of consumption of finite resources, Malik joined a small grassroots organization in 2005 called Post Carbon Santa Clara Valley, where the handful of members discuss, to put it bluntly, the impending end of the oil age. Malik maintains a bright voice and countenance, but she sees a bleak world approaching—if, that is, we fail to prepare ourselves. Malik believes that hunger and scarcity could become real elements of American life within the next decade as supermarket food supplies dwindle, and she believes that modern society must eventually

revert to the frugal farming-based lifestyles and modest living standards of the 19th century. Localizing a robust food production and distribution system within and adjacent to the South Bay metropolis would be a huge first step toward staving off some of the dire predictions of people like Malik. Malik, though, has seen very little interest locally in preparing for world change. “In this area, there is no serious effort to mitigate what’s about to come down in the next five or 10 years,” she says, a trace of despondency slipping through her British accent. “We need massive change now. Actually, we needed it yesterday, but no politicians want to address this, because bad news doesn’t sell. “They would have to tell people to massively reduce their consumption, and people don’t want to give up their luxuries that they’re so accustomed to having. Some people do little things, but changing your light bulbs and buying hybrids is not going to solve this.” Malik believes that oil production maxed out—peaked—in 2007 or 2008. From here on, she believes, prices of oil and most other goods will see a steady long-term rise as production rates drop off. Individuals will feel the crunch as oil gradually tapers away; we will find ourselves walking more, buying less and, by barely perceptible degrees of change, entering a new epoch. She also believes that such oil-addicted nations as our own will have an especially painful time adjusting in a world of increasing economic upheaval, regular blackouts, water shortages and even food shortages. The local Post Carbon group was founded in 2005, but after four years has just a dozen core members. Brent Woodcock, a high school teacher at Saint Lawrence Academy, where the Post Carbon society meets for monthly discussions, blames this on the place itself—not Post Carbon group’s pessimistic outlook. “It’s discouraging to have so few people onboard, but I’m not sure what I could really expect here in the Silicon Valley,” Woodcock says. “People here are so geared toward fast-paced and high-tech life.” The media has inadequately portrayed peak oil to the public, Woodcock believes, and he thinks that awareness is the first step toward preparing. Only then can a community begin to build its resilience, build a local food production system and fortify local industry. This concept of resilience was first recognized and defined in 2007 by one Rob Hopkins of Totnes, England, and is the very essence of the Transition movement. Hopkins—the movement’s founder—understood that modern Western society cannot continue with 19

its current pace of life as fast access to oil begins to dwindle, the climate changes and the economy melts down, and he named the process of preparing for the post-oil age “Transition.” He quickly gained followers, and Totnes has since become the shining emblem of the movement; residents have planted public walnut trees as a future food source, established their own local currency system and managed to convince public policy makers to cooperate in the Transition process. Hopkins has written a manual, called The Transition Handbook: From Oil Dependency to Local Resilience, which lays out a 12-step plan that can be applied to any community. In an ideal Transition Town, the book advises, people would live within cycling distance of one another in a township built upon complete self-sufficiency, with extremely localized infrastructure for agriculture, clothes making, metal working and other basics of life, of which most Americans now know virtually nothing.

In Silicon Valley, Transition remains just a topic of eager discussion among a handful of people, yet localized food production is now beginning to take root. Liz Snyder is the executive director of Sustainable Community Gardens, a San Jose nonprofit that operates Full Circle Farm, an 11-acre plot of land on Peterson Middle School campus in Sunnyvale. Snyder notes that awareness of the importance of locally grown foods is at an “all-time high,” though she isn’t certain it’s for quite the right reason. “Understanding of peak oil is still really thin,” she says. People are learning, however, as she and other farm managers teach visiting schoolchildren about the importance of communities building their own reliable sources of local food. Full Circle Farm is an educational platform, says Snyder. “But the concept of the 150-mile radius around us actually shows that growing all

TRANSITION 19 our own food is possible.” Snyder believes in the importance of urban agriculture to bolster food supplies, while “urban-fringe agriculture” could be the key to feeding America in the post-oil age, when cheap global and continental transport will be things of the past.

Dr. Doom One of the leading experts in the peak oil discussion is David Fridley, a staff scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and a fellow of the Post Carbon Institute in Sebastopol. Fridley, who says that too many Americans believe in solutions to all problems, explains that peak oil is a terrible anomaly among crises because there is no solution that technology can supply. He doesn’t even see any hope in solar, wind, water and other renewable energy sources. “There is nothing that can replace oil and allow us to maintain life at the pace we’ve been living,” he says. “Crude oil is hundreds of millions of years of stored sunlight, and we’re using it all up in a few generations.” The problem, Fridley and his followers believe, is that the sheer cost-efficiency of oil eclipses all supposed alternatives. Removed from the ground and burned, oil makes things move almost miraculously. A tank of gasoline in a car holds enough energy to equal approximately five years of one person’s rigorous manual labor. Historically, too, oil has been very easy to get since the world’s first well was drilled in Pennsylvania in 1859; for each barrel’s worth of energy invested in the process of accessing crude oil, 30 barrels are produced, says Fridley. By contrast, ethanol is a paltry, paltry substitute; each barrel’s worth of ethanol invested in ethanol production produces a mere 1.2 barrels of raw product. Other renewables offer similarly poor returns. “The thermodynamics just don’t add up,” Fridley says. Put another way, societies of the pre-oil age worked their butts off. They had to. Roughly 90 percent of the population toiled in jobs that produced our energy, food and water, while just 10 percent reaped the rewards through jobs in politics, the arts, begging and prostitution, among other leisurely fields. Today, by contrast, merely 5 percent of Americans work jobs that relate to producing food and energy, while 95 percent reap the rewards, many working at abstract tasks in offices. In a world suddenly without machine labor, this topheavy imbalance will capsize. Many software executives and traveling businesspeople are unlikely to find bliss in farm labor, and Fridley believes the change will be very unpleasant for many people. “If you are a typical American and have expectations of increasing income, cheap

food, nondiscretionary spending, leisure time and vacations in Hawaii,” he says, “then the change we expect soon could be what you would consider ‘doom,’ because your life is going to fall apart.”

Too Good to Be True At the mere click of a finger, objects continents away assume rapid motion and appear at our doorsteps days later. Food and goods are impossibly cheap. Material things built from fossil fuel byproducts surround us, and when we tire of them we throw them away and buy more. The material world has attained a fantastic level of convenience for much of the population thanks to ages and ages and ages of accumulated solar power igniting in a geologic second, and soon the orgy must end.

Today, by contrast, merely 5 percent of Americans work jobs that relate to producing food and energy, while 95 percent reap the rewards, many working at abstract tasks in offices. In a world suddenly without machine labor, this top-heavy imbalance will capsize. Even the peak oil theory does not claim that oil will ever run out entirely; it will only become increasingly scarce and expensive—yet Santa Rosa attorney Matt Savinar, an infamous figure in peak oil premonitions, believes this will amount to global catastrophe. His website, Peak Oil: Life After the Oil Crash (www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net), offers an informational outlet geared toward 23

helping readers survive the impending disaster. While other peak oil thinkers frequently talk about “when the shit hits the fan,” Savinar says that it already has. “The shit is hitting the fan now. It’s just happening in slow motion.” Asked what individuals can do to ease their way into life after the oil crash, the 30-year-old advises people to “learn basic camping skills.” Wilderness survival tactics will also be handy in the world that’s dawning. While Transitionists see the coming change as one of potential enrichment, Savinar’s outlook is a bleak and shadowy contrast. He warns that in the foreseeable future the world will experience “staggering horror.” While life in remembered times has been about “the pursuit of victory and money,” life in the near future “will be about tragedy.” Linda Perrine, Brent Woodcock’s cofounder of Post Carbon Santa Clara Valley, also believes that “massive discomfort” is in store for metropolises like the Bay Area, where seething masses of overfed humanity depend on a constant and intensive trucking system for their food, goods and happiness. Perrine eventually jumped ship; she bought a 47-acre farm

just outside Eugene, Ore., and she now lives there, ready and able to feed herself and her family if societal failure begins to accelerate. Woodcock also plans to abandon Silicon Valley should the world crumble. Ken Foster, co-founder of Transition Santa Cruz, is hopeful of the future and openly rejects the fearful warnings of the Post Carbonistas. He operates a landscaping company largely via bicycle commuting and has done so for more than 20 years. He believes that the future will be one of our own design; if we believe that doom will befall us, it just might, and we may have to learn wilderness survival skills. On the other hand, if we take the Transitionist outlook and actively pursue it with others in our communities, we will create a slow-paced peaceful society of perfect sustainability. Foster believes the Post Carbon group has attracted so few followers in four years of outreach because people are turned off by such negative warnings and predictions. His Transition group, however, has gained roughly 400 members in less than a year. “Even Post Carbon’s name is a fearbased idea, about the panic of peak oil. Transition is about how we can make the

descent after peak oil a graceful descent— and the awesome thing about Transition is that we have the final choice in how the future will play out.” Full Circle Farm’s Snyder, as well, is clearly a Transitionist at heart. She does not envision a reversion to the Dark Ages but rather sees a progressive future—“an amazing place,” she calls it—where people work outside, walk, ride bikes, make things by hand and pull vegetables from the earth. She points out that San Jose’s city government is taking fresh efforts to preserve green space and develop cultivation infrastructure on city land; urban farmers downtown just broke new ground on June 20 on a quarter-acre plot at Emma Prusch Park, and the state and county have plans to convert the 287-acre Martial Cottle Park into an organic farm. Kerri Hamilton, a community leader who pays particular attention to preserving parks and providing public gardening plots, notes that developers in San Jose are required to pay a fee to the Park Trust Fund. They may, however, have that fee lifted by providing substantial private garden space within the confines of their housing developments.

Snyder sees Cuba as a beautiful example of life after oil; the island nation lost access to Soviet oil in the 1990s and faced an artificial peak oil crisis of its own. “Cuba went through this and survived,” she says. Almost every patch of unused earth was planted with food crops; parking lots were ripped out and replaced with vegetables, fruits, grains and legumes. The world became literally a greener and quieter place to live. “Farming,” Snyder adds, “became the highest-paid profession overnight.” She believes a similar green revolution could embrace America, with farming becoming a profession to aspire to. Whereas the “brain drain” effect has historically lured young bright people from rural regions to the cities, the near future might see a reverse in the trend, she says, whereby young people aspiring for success actually seek careers in agriculture. Already, the largest new demographic in farming is young women, says Snyder, 32. Her farm manager, she says, is a 29-yearold woman. Also at Full Circle Farm, Dan Hafeman, the education manager and an avid cyclist, has hope for a future utopia, a quiet sustainable community of bicycles and gardens in every direction. Hafeman has commuted several miles each way to work for three decades without a car, often hauling 40-pound loads of potting soil, and he is living proof that peak oil’s transportation crisis doesn’t need to be a crisis at all. Transition—with the capital “T”—may even become a viable force soon in the South Bay. David Herron, a green technology advocate and writer in Mountain View, read The Transition Handbook last year and would like to see its grassroots approach applied to the region, perhaps in a half-dozen or so island communities. Herron welcomes anyone interested in the Transition movement to contact him via his website, www. davidherron.com, to convene. Fridley, in spite of his predictions of massive economic and social upheaval, also believes peak oil to ultimately be part of a process of overall world improvement. The environment around us has been falling apart for decades due to our excessive consumption of resources, he notes. In our oceans and wild lands, doomsday has arrived with deforestation, water pollution, fisheries collapse, extinction and other plagues. Peak oil presents cause to rethink and reshape our lives and the world, he says. Perhaps, he suggests, things can only get better. There remains no doubt, though, that oil and gas are peaking; production rates are beginning to drop out from under us, and as the sun sets on the wreckage of the oil age, this party is over.

Dermatolgists!

LOOK LONG popularized by sleep-deprived parents who dress their toddlers in easy-to-wear outfits, jumpers are back in the limelight—but minus the snap closures and plus a strong dose of sexy. Jumpers, also called “onesies” and “rompers,” have evolved past the childish one-pieces of yesteryear. Today’s interpretations come in endless tones and styles, from leg-bearing date wear to office-ready trousered options. The popularity of the jumper stems from an on-the-go summer mentality, eliminating the need to agonize between matching tops and bottoms. An outfit all in one, onesies can save valuable decision-making time. Caught on runways since last year from designers like Shoshanna, jumpers have leapt from the stage to the racks of more affordable national retailers. Short or panted, they can now be found in stores like Forever 21 and H&M, in everything from black to more summer-friendly colors, such as orange and green. Stocked in styles fit for every shape, jumpers are good for concealment tactics. Designers like Theory have turned out straight-legged, roomy jumpers that can easily hide an unbuff midsection and elongate legs. For working women, lapeled jumpers can be layered with a cardigan or a blazer for an air of professionalism. For those who aren’t headed to the office, a romper is also a trendy stand-in for an evening dress. Laila Azhar has designed a classy dark-blue racer-back romper with a drawstring belt, which makes for simple out-on-the-town attire. Even Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester was caught by the paparazzi taking the jumper plunge on a recent night out, wearing a silver-sheened romper from designer Julie Haus, complete with peep-toed flats and a long necklace. Dressed up or down in pumps or sandals, with a belt around the middle or left bare, these one-piece outfits make for convenient summer wear. Holly Szkoropad

New Deli In Town ;Za^eZ 7j^igV\d

Mountain View’s Kitchen Table evokes traditional Jewish delis of New York By Stett Holbrook

HE JEWISH delis of New York City have been on the decline for more than 50 years, and the world is a smaller place for it. Although there are still places where one can get a properly made pastrami sandwich, pickled tongue, chopped liver and matzo ball soup, these Formica temples of kosher comfort food are slowly fading away. New York City was where the Jewish deli was born and thrived, but World War II, the rise of supermarket delis, expensive rents and the suburbanization of the city’s Jewish population all contributed to their decline. So says David Sax, author of the forthcoming Save the Deli (October; Houghton Mifflin), a history and loving ode to the Jewish deli. But the book is not an obituary. There are still some celebrated delis in New York, such as Katz’s, the Carnegie Deli and Essex on Coney, but like the Jewish diaspora, Jewish delis have spread out from New York across the United States. The Bay Area has a few Jewish delis (Saul’s in Berkeley and Moishe’s Pippic in San Francisco are standouts), but alas, Silicon Valley has not been so blessed. Mexican, Vietnamese, Korean,

Japanese, Chinese, Ethiopian, Indian food we’ve got in spades. Jewish food? Not so much. But that’s changed with the opening, two months ago, of the Kitchen Table, a glatt kosher restaurant in Mountain View. Glatt kosher means the food adheres to a stricter set of kosher guidelines. But it’s not a deli. Not at all. It’s a hip-looking modern restaurant that at ďŹ rst glance you might think was a Cal-Med bistro or tapas bar. Except for the many diners wearing yarmulkes and the statement of kosher compliance on the front window, you would never guess it was a Jewish restaurant. There is appealing outdoor dining out front and an attractive dining room decorated with family photos, shabby-chic chandeliers and tables covered with brown butcher paper that give the place a casual yet reďŹ ned vibe. Of course, the menu is the giveaway. There are several standards of Jewish cooking, like chicken and matzo ball soup, knishes, corned beef and pastrami, but the menu also ranges into more contemporary territory as well with grilled steaks, fresh ďŹ sh and lamb kebabs. I’d call it California kosher because of its

reliance on fresh, seasonal produce and a slow-cooked sensibility. It’s a wonder someone hadn’t come up with the concept before. The Kitchen Table’s chef is Chaim Davids, a Baltimore native who has experience in a variety of restaurants, butcher shops and wineries. The restaurant also employs a kosher supervisor, or mashgiach, to see that the food meets Jewish dietary laws. While I appreciate the restaurant’s inclusion of nontraditional Jewish foods, I think the classic dishes are best. My favorite is the pastrami sandwich ($12). It was my longing for a real Jewish deli that led me to order this on my ďŹ rst visit. A pastrami sandwich, served on rye bread with a generous schmear of mustard, should be the agship of any Jewish deli, and the Kitchen Table’s version is a more than worthy example. Pastrami, like corned beef, is made by curing beef brisket. Traditionally, the method was devised to preserve meat before the advent of refrigeration. But the technique is still used today because it’s so damn good. Pastrami is traditionally made from the navel end of the brisket, a

cut of meat that you could describe as the cow’s chest. The meat is brined and then coated with spices such as garlic, pepper, coriander and clove. The result is a lightly salty, wonderfully rich meat that borders and sometimes crosses over into fatty. The Kitchen Table makes its own pastrami, and it’s fantastic, especially when piled high between two slices of housemade sourdough rye bread with a generous application of creamy Russian dressing. If your only experience with pastrami is the prepackaged, waterlogged dreck from supermarkets, the Kitchen Table will be a revelation. As good as the pastrami sandwich is, the pastrami knish might be even better. A knish is a fried or baked pastry ďŹ lled with meat and vegetables. The Kitchen Table serves a changing selection of knishes each day, and I had the good fortune to be there when they were serving pastrami knish. The little meat pie ($5) is baked and loaded with bits of pastrami and mashed potatoes and served with sweet brown mustard. If at all possible order both the pastrami sandwich and pastrami knish for (%

an experience in pure pastrami pleasure. The corned beef sandwich is another Jewish staple, and the Kitchen Table makes its own. While I loved the avor of the tangy brined meat loaded into my sandwich ($12), it was a bit dry and had me missing the fatty goodness of the pastrami. The Kitchen Table serves an eclectic list of starters and appetizers that it calls “small bites.â€? The curry-brined eggplant with creamy tahini sauce ($4) is good, as is the spicy, red mole–cloaked turkey ($5). My favorite was the lamb BLT ($7): tomatoes, lettuce and lamb bacon. That’s right, lamb bacon. The crispy slices of lamb belly had the right ratio of salty to fatty and made it easy to forget I wasn’t eating pork. The chicken and matzo ball soup ($5) arrives with a dark broth studded with carrots, celery and bits of chicken and is far more rich and avorful than other versions I’ve had, but I found the matzo ball itself cried out for a healthy sprinkle of salt. For dinner, fresh focaccia is served with two dips: olive oil and caramelized garlic and spicy chopped olives. Both are good. And free. It was only when I strayed away from the more traditional items that I ran into disappointment. The boneless rib eye ($28) napped with red-wine glace and marrow butter suffered from the opposite problem as the matzo ball. It was aggressively salty and the chard served with it even more so. The ďŹ sh of the day on one of my visits was halibut ($24), pan-roasted and served with a pesto risotto and fried artichokes. The ďŹ sh was moist and fresh but otherwise unremarkable. Coupled with the lackluster risotto, it added up to a mediocre dish. Desserts were a mixed bag, too. While the black-cherry frozen custard was too grainy, the pecan and chocolate ourless cake served with it ($7) was superb. The seven-layer walnut fudge cake with orange â€œďŹ‚uff â€? ($7) was excellent, but the banana cream tart ($7) was too sweet and more cream than bananas. The Kitchen Table serves more than two dozen selections of kosher wine, and we’re not talking Manischewitz. The wine list draws on premium wines from Napa Valley, the Russian River, Chile, New Zealand and Israel. But for me the drink of choice here is Dr. Brown’s soda ($4), the classic Jewish deli beverage. Jewish food and Jewish delis may be scarce in these parts, but the Kitchen Table does a generally delicious job of ďŹ lling the void.

Wine Notes

S

ANTA CRUZ’S K>C: =>AA L>C:GN recently earned a ďŹ stful of accolades for its pinot noir. Vine Hill Winery, which produces the 8JB7G: D; K>C: =>AA label of Santa Cruz Mountains pinot noir, received six top ratings for all three of its 2006 pinot noir releases. Three came in the July issue of Wine Enthusiast, and three came in the June issue of Connoisseurs’ Guide to California Wine. The 2006 Santa Cruz Mountains pinot noir scored 92 points from Wine Enthusiast and 91 points from Connoisseur’s Guide. The 2006 Hicks Family Vineyard Pinot Noir received a 94-point score from Wine Enthusiast and 88 points from Connoisseurs’ Guide. The wine “shows the dramatic way that this mountainous region south of San Francisco can ripen pinot noir to such perfection,â€? enthused the Wine Enthusiast. Wine Enthusiast gave the 2006 Raffaelli Vineyard pinot noir 93 points while Connoisseurs’ Guide gave the wine a grade of 90 and remarked that the wine “will appeal to fans of ripe, generous pinots rather than fans of restraint, this one has nicely formed, reasonably juicy black-cherry fruit as its central theme from ďŹ rst sniff.â€? Check out Cumbre of Vine Hill at cumbreofvinehill.com.

B&C Update Our annual bars and clubs issue published earlier this month listed dozens of great watering holes, cocktail lounges and bars. But shame on us for omitting I=: <G6E:K>C: in Willow Glen (1389 Lincoln Ave.; 408.293.7574), one of the South Bay’s most appealing wine bars and wine shops. In addition to an eclectic selection of wine and a knowledgeable staff, the store has regular lineup of cool wine events. Here’s what’s on deck. (For more info go to grapevine-wg.com.) International Wine and Tapas: The food and wine event will feature a variety of internationally inspired small plates served alongside a trio of international wines. Twenty-ďŹ ve dollars gets you a selection of tapas, ight of wine, gratuity and tax. This is not an “all you can eat,â€? dinner so conduct yourself accordingly. June 24; 7pm. Fratello Di Li Blues: Listen to good tunes with wine and snacks in hand. The blues duo of Diamond Bob Perro and Diego Picetti will play live. A special wine, beer and small plates menus will be offered. All pricing is a la carte. No cover charge. No reservations needed. June 25; 7pm. Stett Holbrook

mjwf! gffe My Beef With Meat

L

AST WEEK, the federal government released a much-anticipated report on global climate change. It paints a chilling picture of what will happen if global warming continues unabated. “This report is a game-changer,” said the new director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Jane Lubchenco, at a press conference last week. “I think that much of the foot-dragging in addressing climate change is a reflection of the perception that climate change is way down the road, it’s in the future and it only affects certain parts of the country. This report demonstrates in concrete scientific information that climate change is happening now, and it’s happening in our back yards.” The report, issued by the U.S. Global Change Research Program, compiles work from 13 different government agencies. In a refreshing break from the science-averse Bush administration, the report states unequivocally that climate change is human caused. The report details changes scientists are already seeing and predicts how the climate will change if greenhouse-gas emissions aren’t curtailed. The report also discusses how decisive policies can roll back the impending doom. (Read report at globalchange.gov.) Here are two of the key findings: • Climate changes are under way in the United States and are projected to grow. These include increases in heavy downpours, rising temperature and sea level, rapidly retreating glaciers, thawing permafrost, lengthening growing seasons, lengthening ice-free seasons in the ocean and on lakes and rivers, earlier snowmelt and alterations in river flows. • Agriculture is considered one of the sectors most adaptable to changes in climate, but increased heat, pests, water stress, diseases and weather extremes will pose adaptation challenges for crop and livestock production. There have been many reports on global warming and dire predictions from respected scientists. So far not much has changed. I hope that President Obama uses the power of his position to spur the dramatic and speedy action needed to reduce the profound impacts of the crisis. The challenge Obama faces is convincing people that the time to change our ways is today, not tomorrow. The trouble is, we don’t usually realize we’re in trouble until the roof starts caving in. For example, only when we faced global financial meltdown did world leaders act. A global recession is real and painful, but compared to the apocalyptic effects of unchecked global warming, it’s but a pinprick. Live Feed is a food column, so what does all this have to do with food, you may ask. Well, while the U.S. government appears to be finally getting serious about acting against global warming, we the people need to do as much as we can. Food strikes me as particularly targetrich as we seek to reduce global warming. I see reducing our consumption of meat as the single most important action we can take as individuals. I’ve come to view a double bacon cheeseburger as the culinary equivalent of dumping dirty motor oil into a clear mountain lake. If eating burgers was only detrimental to those who eat them that would be one thing, but the production of meat and dairy across the world is an environmental catastrophe. According to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), livestock production generates nearly a fifth of the world’s greenhouse gases, more than transportation. Animal agriculture is the leading source of methane and nitrous oxide emissions, which—combined with carbon dioxide—are the primary causes of global warming. Livestock production accounts for more than 8 percent of global human water use, the FAO says. Evidence suggests that it is also the largest source of water pollution thanks to animal wastes, antibiotics, hormones, fertilizers and pesticides used for feed crops, and sediments from eroded pastures. An estimated 30 percent of the Earth’s ice-free land is involved in livestock production. Approximately 70 percent of previously forested land in the Amazon is used as pasture, and feed crops cover a large part of what’s left. Eating organically raised, grass-feed beef is a far better option than the factory-farmed garbage that most of us eat. But organically raised or not, livestock still sucks up scarce natural resources and contributes to global warming. I’m not saying we should give up meat entirely. Just eat less of it. Given the severity of the climate crisis, reducing our consumption of meat is a painless step everyone can take. What if President Obama declared he was willing to go without meat a few days a week for the sake of the planet? I’m not holding my breath for that one, but more often than not I’m going to hold off on eating meat. Stett Holbrook (Sholbrook@metronews.com)

METROGUIDE

Doctor Manhattan Woody Allen’s ‘Whatever Works’ is a thin, slick comedy that stands by its title: it does work

By Richard von Busack

T

HE LOVE of the last word is the province of comedians; when you put someone down you want them to stay down. Over the now traditional white-on-black titles of Whatever Works, the new Woody Allen movie, Groucho Marx sings, “Hello, I Must Be Going.” The reference is surely to Groucho’s own habit of spraying a thin layer of derision around the room. The main character here is Larry David’s Boris Yellnikoff. Though he’s Jewish and from the outer boroughs, really he’s a Scandinavian/ Germanic–style misanthrope, the type that Max von Sydow played seriously in Hannah and Her Sisters, with remarkably similar dialogue. It’s cinema tragedy reinvented as a standup act. Whatever Works is a weird mix of Ibsen and Doc Simon. Boris addresses an audience only he can see. He sports a terrible limp from his suicide attempt years previously. He was formerly a physics professor, shortlisted for the Nobel Prize (“It was all politics, just like any award”); today, he is retired, a free-range castigator, teaching chess (brutally) to children and living in a brick-lined vault in Manhattan’s Chinatown. Art director Santo Loquasto’s triumph is the most hovelish interior ever seen in a Woody Allen film, at least for a character not actually a junkie or an alcoholic. One evening, Boris finds a girl curled up on a piece of cardboard

under his fire escape. The waif is Melodie St. Anne Celeste (Evan Rachel Wood), a former Mississippi beauty queen who fled the Deep South and has no plans. Boris reluctantly puts her up, treats her to copious insults, such as “inchworm” and “subnormal.” At his wittiest, he compares Melodie to Benjy in The Sound and the Fury. He takes her to the New York sites she wants to see. (She may be the only Mississippi girl who has ever wanted to visit Grant’s Tomb.) Cinematographer Harris Savides, a Gus Van Sant veteran and the photographer of Margot at the Wedding, brings up a danker, smoggier version of the tropic humidity in New York that Zhao Fei got for Allen in Small Time Crooks. It’s permanent summer in this film, all the better to use Wood for her decorative qualities. She wriggles around in one tiny outfit after another, flashing her showgirl-quality legs, while Boris wanders around in untidy Bermuda shorts and sweatshirts. Melodie takes Boris’ imprint completely—his rants, his phobias and his dislike of sex—and marries him. A year afterward, the in-laws arrive for a first visit: Marietta (Patricia Clarkson) believes that she has tracked her runaway daughter down and is outraged to find the girl married to a neurotic man old enough to be her grandfather. Soon thereafter, Marietta’s estranged husband (Ed Begley Jr.) shows up in the apartment.

[43]

The lines—at least every third line—are funny. People have been saying that it’s Larry David who took Allen’s imprint. Rather, David is part of a chain of sarcasm whose links include Groucho, S.J. Perelman, Harvey Pekar, Robert Crumb and Allen. It’ll be the end of the line soon. Styles of disappointment change, and the next dynasty is bound to be as anti-intellectual as they are anti– everything else. Clarkson is good, of course, as a scratching post for Boris the grouch— a hybrid sort of Margaret DuBois or Blanche Dumont. Marietta even gasps, “You’re not the gentleman I was expecting”—a play reference in a movie that’s a bit too much like a play anyway. But she advances the action by introducing Melodie to a younger, better-looking and seemingly more suitable man, Randy (Henry Cavill), as flat as the handsome prince in a prep-school play. Whatever Works is based on a script Allen had in his drawer for several decades, and it looks it. The audience laughs indulgently at a scene of one character being picked up by a gay man, with moldy dialogue that might have been laughable 40 years ago. The homosexual refers to his ex-lover as “my wife” so that his naive pickup-tobe replies, “Is your mother a woman?” Despite that canned corn, Allen knows how to make a civilized comedy even when denouncing civilization. The film strokes a leftwing audience’s prejudices: the blows

against Reagan and W in wax statue form—this is like beating a stuffed lion, though. The atheism, however, is tart: Boris says, “My favorite biblical character is Job’s wife. She chose death over obsequious acceptance, unlike that man she married”; glib as this might be, it isn’t a line you will hear in any one else’s movie. David’s sneer is as effective here as it is on Curb Your Enthusiasm, yet it’s hard to handle the eventual humanizing of Boris. If you see the universe as a violent machine that’s running down, why are you warmed—as Boris is—by the miracle of unlikely birth, of the astronomical odds resulting in people. What does a miracle matter, if it only leads to disaster? This wonder-of-life argument is the same argument that led the icy physics professor Dr. Manhattan back to humanity in Watchmen, and it’s not any more believable here. And when we’re meant to feel for Boris after he wakes up the building with a panic attack in the middle of the night, screaming “The horror, the horror!” Allen presumes that the audience doesn’t know their Conrad. Didn’t Kurtz cause his own horror, through his own blind acceptance of ideas that dehumanized everyone around him? WHATEVER WORKS (PG-13; 92 min.), written and directed by Woody Allen, photographed by Harris Savides and starring Larry David and Evan Rachel Wood, opens June 26 at selected theaters.

film reviews 

Reviews by Jeffrey M. Anderson, Michael S. Gant and Richard von Busack.

New Cheri (R; 100 min.) See review on page 47. My Sister’s Keeper (PG-13; 109 min.) Nick Cassavetes strikes again, proving yet again that the acorn sometimes falls very far from the tree. It’s a family drama starring Cameron Diaz, Jason Patric and Abagail Breslin. (Opens Jun 26.) The Stoning of Soraya M. (R; 116 min.) See review on page 46.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (PG-13; 150 min.) Off to college goes young Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) trying to forget the trauma of watching the robots destroy L.A. The government covered it up—everybody is indeed just that stupid in a Michael Bay movie. Sadly, a chip of the spark cube stuck to Sam’s shirt, and that starts the whole mess over again: indistinguishable robot-clobber with warlike threats (“You want a piece of me?” is one uttered by these immemorial interstellar bots from beyond the stars). Manly Air Force officers in camouf lage strut in slo-mo amid more cargo planes than one would see in an “Army of One” commercial. We cut to some frog-baiting: the Witwicky parents go to Paris, where they are pestered by mimes and eat snails. (“This looks like Canadian goose poop!” cries Dad.) If Transformers keeps ugly Americans away from France, this movie won’t have been made in vain

for nothing. The Titanic-like sinking of an aircraft carrier is the standout animation, and it was an unusually good idea to stage a fight scene at the antique Delaware Power Station in Philadelphia. There seemed a little more breathing room in the finale, too, despite the incredible repetition of action sequences. Megan Fox, as the gurl, conceals her new tattoos with way too many clothes, so we can’t confirm rumors that one of the tats says “Angelina Jolie, I’m taking your job” in Latin. LaBeouf is probed by crab-bots trying to find the source of his unkillable smirk. The deservedly famous Bro Rape video on YouTube is the only possible cure for the dorm scenes at ivy-covered PSIU. The alien hieroglyphics, when translated, read, “He thinks he is seeing bad films instead of understanding that what he sees is no longer film at all.”— Rudolf Arnheim, 1935. (Plays valleywide.) (RvB) Whatever Works (PG-13; 92 min.) See review on page 43. (Opens Jun 26 at the Guild in Menlo Park.)

DVDS Last Year at Marienbad See review on page 48.

Revivals Broncho Billy Silent Film Festival Three days of silent cinema at the Edison Theater in historic Niles. Programs include Von Stroheim’s Foolish Wives; a retrospective of films starring kid star Baby Peggy, hosted by Peggy (Diana Sara Cary) herself; a double feature of programs by pioneer filmmaker Thomas Ince. One program is a series on the Thanhouser Company, a studio that produced some 1,000 films, having its centennial this year, with film archivist Ned Thanhouser introducing the films. Also: a program of Bay Area–made

silents. (Plays Jun 26-28 in Fremont at the Edison Theater, 37417 Niles Blvd; www.niles filmmuseum.org) (RvB) Mad Hot Ballroom (2005) Only an icy-hearted cynic could disparage this joyous, infectious documentary. Three classrooms of mostly working-class New York City 11-year-olds take required courses in rumba, tango, foxtrot and swing dancing before entering a competition with other schools. The film examines the overall positive effect dancing has on the children’s self-esteem and takes care to spend a little time with the contest losers. Filmmakers Marilyn Angelo and Amy Sewell were either incredibly lucky or employed a genius editor; the film spills over with miraculous little moments, capturing a telling glance or a smile, a word, a laugh or a cry. Though it lacks the crushing suspense of the very similar Spellbound, Mad Hot Ballroom is a clear winner. Proceeded by a live swing dance performance by dance group Double or Nothing. (Plays Jun 24 at sundown in San Jose at S. First and William streets; bring lawn chairs and blankets; free; part of the Starlight Cinema series.) (JMA) North by Northwest (1959) When an ad man stands up at the wrong moment at the Plaza Hotel, he’s mistaken for one Irving Kaplan, an American superagent; from this point on he’s pursued by agents of the spymaster Van Damm (James Mason at his silkiest). The movie summed up Alfred Hitchcock’s American films, according to the director. Those sniffing around the subtext of Hitch can find some meat in the Taming of the Squire sequences, in which the suave ad man, Roger O. Thornhill (Cary Grant), gets treated by Eva Marie Saint like a trick who won’t leave. But mostly, the film is a surreal version of the pioneer’s American journey, full of frontier tall-tale elements:

from the Temperance fantasy of the city villains who force you to drink to the perilous train trip to the prairies, where a single biplane symbolizes thousands of locusts. (Plays Jun 27 at sunset in Redwood City at Old Courthouse Square; free; bring blankets and lawn chairs.) (RvB) Queen Christina/The Gay Divorcee (1933/1934) Greta Garbo plays Queen Christina of Sweden, the 17th-century monarch who refused to marry. This (scarcely accurate) romance hazards a guess as to why. BILLED WITH The Gay Divorcee. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in their wittiest film comedy. Aboard an ocean liner, Fred is mistaken by Ginger for a professional divorce “co-respondent” (see Evelyn Waugh’s A Handful of Dust for a description of that occupation). Later come the immortal dances, particularly the acme of elegant romanticism onscreen, “Night and Day.” For comedy relief from the romantic tension: Erik Rhodes’ pre–Roberto Benigni performance as the original tasseled Italian loafer; also Alice Brady, Eric Blore, Edward Everett Horton, and Betty Grable (in silk pajamas) doing “Let’s K-nock K-nees.” (Plays Jun 23-25 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB) Scary Cow Short Films Show A series of locally made short and indie films by this San Francisco–based production company. (Plays Jun 21 at 4pm in Fremont at the Edison Theater, 37417 Niles Blvd.) (RvB) Separate Tables/The Innocents (1958/1961) In a peeling seaside hotel, a mixed group of vacationers endure their loneliness; Deborah Kerr, Burt Lancaster, David Niven and Rita Hayworth co-star. BILLED WITH The Innocents. Very classy but f lawed horror story set in the midVictorian era in a lonely English manor. A governess (Deborah Kerr), keeping the care of two orphaned children, begins to think that two ghosts are also watching over them. By not acknowledging the ghosts, who are plainly visible to the governess, the lovely, innocent children are “playing—or being made to play—some game,” as Henry James put it in the film’s source, The Turn of the Screw. Director Jack Clayton underscores the cultured viciousness of the uncle (Michael Redgrave), who decides to lock his nephew and his niece away in the countryside. The film’s serious tone begins with one of the most terrifying of all film openings: a blacked-out screen as the children sing-song a folk tune by George Auric with neomedieval lyrics by Paul Dehn. Even with the usual trappings of the Gothic—blowing curtains, waxdripping candelabras and stagnant, leaf-covered ponds—The Innocents never descends into camp. Kerr is perfect, never editorializing the part, and leaving a shadow of a doubt at the end. (Plays Jun 30-Jul 2 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB) To Catch a Thief/Notorious (1955/1946) Your ultimate French Riviera jewel-thief movie, with Cary Grant wrongly suspected of having restarted his former career as a cat burglar known as, naturally, as “The Cat.” Grace Kelly plays an heiress desired either for herself or for her jewels. Alfred Hitchcock’s famous routines here include the use of fireworks to represent a love scene and a famous double-entendre picnic, where it’s not clear what exactly is on the menu. BILLED WITH Notorious. A devil called Devlin (Grant) infiltrates a nest of unreconstructed Nazi schemers in Rio: his tool is Miami party-girl Ingrid Bergman (never more luscious). A Hitchcock romp, but a dark one, very mean, and very heated—everything you’d find in film noir but the grit and the grain. (Plays Jun 26-29 in Palo Alto at the Stanford Theatre.) (RvB)

Atrocity Exhibition

‘The Stoning of Soraya M.’ is a slick stomach turner

I

N A blog’s comments, I once read a devout Islamist defending the practice of stoning. He claimed it was a relatively compassionate form of public execution. Done right, with a religious authority casting the first stone (he would be without sin, after all), the victim takes one to the temple and never feels a thing. Such are our lives on this planet. Holding off foaming cynicism or madness takes constant struggle. This correspondent would mourn over the bungled execution at the end of The Stoning of Soraya M.; the bumpkins make a real gory mess of it. Then again, director Cyrus Nowrasteh made a similar mess of this picture. Based on the bestseller by Freidoune Sahebjam, the film starts with a framing device of a man arriving with a boiling-over radiator in the small town of Kupayeh in the mid-1980s; it’s Franco-Iranian journalist Freidoune (Jim Caviezel). A mourning woman, Zahra (Shohreh Aghdashloo) gestures for him to come in. She longs to tell the story of the execution of her niece Soraya (Mozhan Marno). The dead woman had been accused of adultery by her brute of a husband, Ali, a policeman with eyes for a 14-year-old second wife. Blameless as she is, Soraya refuses to give the husband a divorce—she and her daughters would starve. Ali figures a way to trump up a charge of adultery, using the local mullah, a former jailbird, to do the framing. Those too gentle to face this movie, who shudder at the title even but who feel that duty requires that they see it, should yield to the impulse that makes them promise to read the book instead—and go see something else. All you’ll learn from the film of The Stoning of Soraya M. is that there is no subject so brutal that it can’t be aestheticized through every technique known to a film student. The breaking point for me was the shot of the yawning hole in the ground waiting for the accused adulteress; it was given the famous accordion-shot from the tower scene in Vertigo. Add that to the gory execution itself—real torture porn—and the villagers who conduct themselves like cattle rustlers in a bad Western. Add to that, also, the ethnographic prettying up of the surfaces—it was like someone filming in San Miguel de Allende and claiming it was the most backward village in Mexico. Worst of all is the wide performance by Aghdashloo: Jeanne Moreau, Melina Mercouri and Anne Bancroft wrapped into one. In a lapse of taste, Zahra tries to upstage the execution itself (“Stone me! I will take her place!”). She’s tough enough to slap the mayor, girlish enough to flirt around her chador. In the last shot, she raises her scarves like Batman’s cape to protect a fleeing Caviezel. The Islamic Republic may be tottering, but it has a sophisticated film tradition that withstands even terrible censorship. In your mind’s eye, you imagine the way some of the real talents in Iranian film could handle a story like this and no doubt will some day. That film to come will earn its tears, instead of drilling for them like a jackhammer. Richard von Busack THE STONING OF SORAYA M. (R; 116 min.), directed by Cyrus Nowrasteh, written by Cyrus and Betsy Giffen Nowrasteh, based on the novel by Freidoune Sahebjam, photographed by Joel Ransom and starring Shohreh Aghdashloo and James Caviezel, opens June 26 at Camera 3 in San Jose.

The Boy Friend Michelle Pfeiffer’s dazzling courtesan romances a young man in ‘Cheri’

O

NCE ONE of the grand horizontals of Paris’ Belle Epoque, Lea de Lonval (Michelle Pfeiffer) is ready for retirement and a hobby. She picks a ruinous kind: the care and feeding of a beautiful, diffident young man, nicknamed Cheri (Rupert Friend). Cheri is the son of Madame Peloux, Lea’s frenemy—forgive the ugly neologism. What both the courtesan and the courtesan’s child had in mind was a dirty fortnight in the Norman countryside. The narrator explains that the tryst lasted six years. And now the still beautiful but aging Lea is quite hooked on Cheri. Meanwhile, Peloux has gotten it into her head that she wants grandchildren to dandle on her lap, and thus she has arranged a suitable marriage for Cheri—with a virgin, of course. In Cheri, director Stephen Frears reunites with scriptwriter Christopher Hampton and star Pfeiffer to revisit the type of games all three of them played 20 years ago in Dangerous Liaisons. There are reference points between this film and the older one. Having a meal alone, in misery, Lea’s glance falls on a fork, and we can hear in our mind’s ear the speech Glenn Close’s Marquise made about learning how to look cheerful while under the table she stuck a fork into the back of her hand. The two films end similarly, too. The difference, in two words: no Malkovich. The male point of view, the reverse angle, is neglected in this adaptation of two novels by Collette. The film brings out Pfeiffer’s gloriousness, her translucent skin, the limbs and hair still golden. But this deeply Southern Californian actress tries to play a Parisienne through formal diction and an exhausted drawl. Something simpler might have worked better. Visually, Pfeiffer is just right for the part, but when she speaks, you have doubts. The drawl makes Lea seem affected and odd. Ideally, the role of Lea would go to Fanny Ardant, or someone whose pride seemed less like a mask and something that was in her bones. Pfeiffer is best when the mask drops. When Lea sits up in bed, weeping—no, howling—for her faithless, worthless lover, Cheri gets it right emotionally as well as visually. Lea is posed as the normal member of a bizarre family of professional companions. Afternoons at Madame Peloux’s become ever more odd. One courtesan called Lili (Gaye Brown) resembles nothing more romantic than Bozo the Clown. The idea of such garishness must be to make Lea look the best and the brightest of her profession. She does, yet Kathy Bates’ Madame Peloux walks away with this picture, not that she does much walking. She spends a good deal of the film with feet propped up, a half-smile on her face. Here is a woman, in author ZZ Packer’s phrase, who wears her fat like a mink coat. She looks like a woman who knew how to keep her customers amused. Peloux’s motivation isn’t clear—it can’t just be plain sadism that makes her step aside when her son puts the moves on Lea. Still, the elegantly bitchy dialogue is rich. Examining Lea’s neck, Peloux comments, “Don’t you find that now that the skin is less firm, it holds perfume so much better?” Cheri isn’t firm either, but it holds its perfume. The film appeals as a gaze-fest at Pfeiffer with its sturdy plot and its heart-tugging story of heartlessness. Richard von Busack CHERI (R; 100 min.), directed by Stephen Frears, written by Christopher Hampton, based on novels by Colette, photographed by Darius Khondji and starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Kathy Bates, opens June 26.

Waxworks A new Criterion DVD restores the ambiguities of Alain Resnais’ ‘Last Year at Marienbad’

I

T IS, Last Year at Marienbad, among the most difficult of film classics. Director Alain Resnais claimed that Alain Robbe-Grillet’s script was so well composed that “a robot could have directed it.” One needn’t be a snarkist to suggest a robot did. The 1961 art-house classic, now out in a handsome new Criterion DVD box set, concerns a love triangle in a swank resort, where beautiful people gossip or play pointless, stakeless card games. In the middle of the crowd, X (Giorgio Albertazzi) tries to get face time alone with A (Delphine Seyrig). The man prods the woman’s memory: Does she not remember that they had a date, made a year previously at a different spa; perhaps it was Marienbad in Germany? The lady denies it, despite evidence. Meanwhile her escort, husband or chaperone, M (Sacha Pitoëff, a man who looks like a living art-deco statue), acts as a brake on the liaison. Resnais’ direction emphasizes repetition and artificiality, as befits a story that turns characters into algebraic figures. Certainly, this experimental film has had a wide influence, leading to the desiccated chic flavored many spy movies, with the cruel-looking men in tuxes romancing remote women in gowns. The shooters practicing at the spa’s target range are like the cardboardy assassins that turn up in such films. Director Terence Young sourced this ominous hotel for the pre-title sequence of From Russia With Love. There would be no TV series The Prisoner without Marienbad; as we see in the figures wandering through the formal gardens with their razor-sharp conical trees— in a long shot, the immobile humans are the size of the plasticine people with which architects surround their models. The innovation doesn’t make the film any friendlier; every one from Kubrick to Lynch has lifted from Marienbad, but it still doesn’t give much. Between the horror-movie organ music and the wax-museum behavior, my gut reaction is that I would rather be watching Carnival of Souls again. The cast—stick insects in tuxedos and feathers—represent a kind of swank no ordinary viewer could experience today. Or could they? A cinéaste today sees Marienbad at home with the cereal bowls and beer bottles around the place. The perfect context would be an ancient movie theater from the end of the studio era, with 2,000 seats, most of them empty; one of those caverns with the gilded stalactites, the painted ceilings, the “ornamentation from a bygone era” mulled over by X again and again as he saunters through these wealthy dawdlers, frozen in their beautiful purgatory. Maybe Marienbad presents grand cinema at a dead-end; Seyrig’s sinister eye shadow alone makes her look like Norma Desmond, stuck in a baroque film theater forever. Criterion’s excellent two-disc package includes an uncorrected alternate soundtrack; Resnais worried about the harmonics of the actors’ voices, lost when the original soundtrack was digitally remastered. Interviews leave the enigma intact; Robbe-Grillet and Resnais were divided on the subject of whether or not the lovers knew each other. Also included are two documentaries by Resnais; one, Styrène, tours a French plastics factory, with music by Delerue, rhyming poetry by Raymond Queneau and a beguiling set of Chihuly–style artifacts emerging from the metal molds.

Screening The Past Gary Lee Parks illustrates history of San Jose theaters in nostalgia-rich new book By Gary Singh

GLORY DAYS Tbo!Kptfbot!uvsofe! pvu!po!Bqsjm!27-!2:38-! gps!uif!pqfojoh!pg!uif! Dbmjgpsojb!Uifbusf/

ENERATIONS of armchair San Jose historians will find it difficult to ignore any book with the following sentence on the back cover: “Even such relative newcomers as the Century 21 Theatre and its fellow domed cinemas have begun to gain a romance of their own.” Thanks to Gary Lee Parks, the romance is now documented in Theatres of San Jose, yet one more Images of America book from Arcadia Publishing. These are the old-school black-andwhite photo books documenting forgotten neighborhoods, towns, ancient sports teams, universities or, in this case, theaters. We have already been blessed with Theatres of San Francisco and Theatres of Oakland, so the time is right for a San Jose edition. Theatres of San Jose begins with early theaters and 5-cent movie houses before moving on to the glory days of San Jose movie palaces from the 1920s to the 1940s. Back in those days, downtown San Jose was a thriving locale, filled with theaters and retail. The streets were always jammed. People flocked to places like the Mission Theatre, the Liberty

Theatre and the Jose Theatre, which is now the San Jose Improv. Parks even devotes an entire chapter to the California Theatre, San Jose’s grand dame, which opened in 1927 before going through decades of face-lifts, structural changes, renamings and dark periods before finally re-emerging as a fully restored beauty five years ago. As in all Arcadia books, the photos themselves tell the stories. The captions only add to the mystique. On page 82, we see that what is now the Towne Theater used to be the Hester Theatre. Parks says he found a newspaper article claiming that the theater originally exhibited an Egyptian-style interior when it first opened in the late ’20s but insists it had nothing to do with the Rosicrucians, who originally set up shop not too far away, around the same time. What’s more, the book tells a few stories of theaters that never actually happened. For example, consider the legendary southwest corner of Bascom Avenue and San Carlos Street, where one finds Time Deli, Alex’s 49er Inn and Saver’s thrift store. On page 87, Parks reveals an artist’s

rendering of what was supposed to be the original Garden Theatre—right in the middle of that quarter-circle strip mall. Otto A. Deichmann designed the theatre, but eventually the plans gave way and the Garden Theatre opened in Willow Glen instead. The last chapter, “Domes and Starlight,” depicts the last vestiges of San Jose’s drive-in era, with haunting images of such forgotten landmarks as the El Rancho Drive-In, which in 1950 opened at 1505 Almaden Road. Today, El Rancho Liquors at Almaden and Alma sits right across from where the drive-in used to be. On page 124, we see a landscape shot of the Tropicaire Twin Vue at 1969 Alum Rock Blvd. A throwback to the golden age of tiki, torches and palm trees, the image looks straight out of early 1950s Las Vegas. There was not much else on Alum Rock Boulevard in those days. An interesting side note: Both of these theaters were opened by Paul Catalana, before his legendary days as a rock promoter a decade later. Catalana would achieve much greater renown by bringing the Beatles to San Francisco in 1964 and the Rolling Stones to the San Jose Civic Auditorium in 1965.

Other long-forgotten masterpieces making appearances in the book include the Spartan Drive-in, which closed in 1976, and the Fox Bayshore Drive-in, which was located at First Street and Brokaw 45 years ago. And one could not possibly concoct a history of theater architecture in San Jose without including the famous domes of the Century Theatres. Constructed in the mid-tolate-’60s, right when drive-ins were proliferating throughout the suburbs and rural areas, the Centurys offered a “modernistic tribute to the world of tomorrow,” as Parks explains it. The real attraction was presentation technology: “The theaters themselves were very comfortable, but the main amenities promoted by the exhibitors were the wide screens, superior sound and projection, and clarity of image and color, which television could never hope to match. This, however, was the last mighty gasp of traditional movie showmanship prior to the multiplex era.” THEATRES OF SAN JOSE, by Gary Lee Parks; Images of America Series, Arcadia Publishing; 128 pages; $21.99 paper

A Many Splintered Thing Northside Theatre Company’s ‘Luv’ is a cage match pitching male sentimentality against female pragmatism HERE IS a line late in the second act of Murray Schisgal’s Luv, now being presented by Northside Theatre Company in San Jose, that is apparently important enough to the playwright that he has put the words into his characters’ mouths no fewer than five times in the span of about a minute. “Love,” begins Ellen (Susannah Greenwood) “is a giving and taking, an interchange of emotions, a gradual development based on physical attraction, complementary careers and simple social similarities.” The recipient of this cold and clinical assessment of the vagaries of the heart, Harry (Brent Beebe), cannot believe his ears. Could this really be all there is to love? Like the other male character in this three-person play, Harry believes in the redemptive power of love, a force so strong that it easily forgives a multitude of sins, including simple social incompatibility, which Ellen and Harry have in spades. Ellen and Harry are coming to this reckoning of their true feelings for each other, or lack thereof, because of Milt (Travis Leland), Ellen’s former husband and Harry’s former college chum, who reunites with Harry in the play’s first scene. When we meet Harry, he is on a bridge, an obvious metaphor for a conveyance across the chasm of emptiness that is his life. He is here to kill himself. Milt has reasons of his own to be in this isolated spot at such a late hour, but seeing Harry, he recognizes his old pal, and Schisgal’s post-avant-garde romantic farce is off to the races. When Luv was first produced in 1964, with Mike Nichols directing and Alan Arkin, Eli Wallach and Anne Jackson in the starring roles, theatergoers were into their second decade of bleak, absurdist theater. They had waited in vain for resolution at the end of Waiting for Godot, for reconciliation and forgiveness at the conclusion of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Schisgal, one senses, had had enough of such indulgent and ultimately elitist exhibitions of alienation, but he was too smart to merely give his audiences the precise opposite of Beckett and Albee (that was Walt Disney’s job). Instead, he used comedy to mock the aesthetics of alienation, especially in the play’s first act, when, in a hilarious precursor to Monty Python, Milt and Harry engage in a game of my-childhood-was-worse-than-yours. Director and set designer Richard T. Orlando offers a clear tip of the cap to the play’s early 1960s milieu by providing his characters with a plain park bench to sit on (a nod to Albee’s The Zoo Story) and a sandbox for his actors to retreat to in times of crisis (see Albee’s The Sandbox). I liked these references, as well as the fact that it would be perfectly OK for audiences not to even notice them. I also liked the actors, who run with their characters at full tilt. Beebe is perfectly willing to play his Harry for the unabashed loser he is, no matter how schlumpy it makes him look. Greenwood’s Ellen is also good as the brainy broad who is prepared to submerge her abundant intelligence to make her simpleminded man happy. And then there’s Leland, whose hyperkinetic Milt reminded me of Milo Minderbinder from Joseph Heller’s Catch-22, which Mike Nichols also directed when it was made into a film in 1970. Leland’s Milt is a can-do dreamer, an unabashed romantic whose childish infatuations hold a mysterious sway over Ellen. She falls for the lug despite ample evidence suggesting she shouldn’t. Could her opinion of love be somewhat less pragmatic than she professes? The sentimental male in me wants to think so.

Double The Fun

OHN SMITH (Paul Wells) is an ordinary cab driver, with a not-so-ordinary secret: he has twice as many wives as most men. He lives a happy life in Streatham with his wife Mary (Jean Naughton), and another, equally happy life in Wimbledon with his wife Barbara (Kate Phillips). But Smith’s world begins to unravel when he receives a blow to the head (while trying to break up a mugging—don’t ask) and mistakenly gives both of his addresses to the hospital where he is treated. It’s a classic trope of British comedy, with a made-for-PBS plotline you can practically imagine ďŹ lling the minutes between the pledge breaks: “Take one man, add two wives and a dash of that wacky British sense of humor, and you’ve got Run for Your Wife, Ray Cooney’s madcap play about bigamy and deception.â€? The Palo Alto Players close their 2009 season with this nutty and at-times-delightful farce, in a production that has the power to keep audiences on their toes with its quick-witted dialogue and smooth delivery. While entirely lacking in serious substance, Run for Your Wife is both captivating and charming, a welcome amusement for the summer months. Things start to heat up when Smith is reported missing by each of his wives, and two detectives get involved—one (John Baldwin) in Streatham and the other (Mark Rawlins) in Wimbledon. Smith enlists the aid of Stanley Gardner, his bumbling neighbor (Jonathon Ferro), and together they perform a series of ridiculous comedic back-ips in a valiant attempt to get both of Smith’s lives back on schedule. Directed by Dave Sikula, Run for Your Wife succeeds in keeping its pace and the audience’s interest. Wells’ portrayal of Smith might not evoke pity but keeps viewers in suspense about what might happen next. On the other hand, Ferro’s Gardner is pitiable, despite his obnoxious laugh and repellant mannerisms. Naughton’s over-the-top performance, though extreme at times, showcases Mary’s overbearing personality and contrasts with Phillips’ aloof and bewildered Barbara. The performers do not miss a beat, dishing one line after another and entangling themselves in a vibrant mesh of hilarity and what The New York Times, in a 1989 review, called “troubled entendres.â€? The 1960s set artfully places both homes onstage at the same time, allowing the audience to witness John Smith’s double lives while their protagonists cannot. Heightened by a colorful set, colorful costumes and a colorful cast, Run for Your Wife is a lighthearted escape that might make our own busy schedules seem simple.

All That Jazz Stanford welcomes jazz greats to annual six-week festival By Garrett Wheeler

AFRO-CUBAN KEYNOTER Hpo{bmp!Svcbmdbcb! qfsgpsnt!Kvof!38!! bu!uif!Tubogpse!! Kb{{!Gftujwbm/!

IKE THE jazz tradition itself, the Stanford Jazz Festival is built on musical breadth and an unwavering dedication to creativity and innovation. Since its inception 38 seasons ago, the concert series has provided local audiences with a unique perspective of the culturally vibrant world of jazz. From Latin jazz heroes Gonzalo Rubalcaba and Paulo Bellinati to acclaimed local artists Frederick Harris and Taylor Eigsti, this year’s lineup is rich with diversity and packed with enough talent to please even the most studied jazz aficionado. In addition to the dozens of heralded performers presented over the six-week span, June 26–Aug. 8, a variety of educational and youth-oriented programs will also be featured, giving students of all ages a chance to better understand the vast complexities of jazz. The festival kicks off June 26 with master saxman James Moody, an institution in the jazz community since the 1940s. Moody began his professional career as a player in

Dizzy Gillespie’s bebop orchestra before launching into a solo career, picking up the alto sax (he started on tenor) and flute along the way. His astonishing command of all three instruments is perhaps unprecedented, and his recordings for industry leaders Blue Note, Prestige and Vanguard are essential components of the modern jazz canon. His best-known composition, “Moody’s Mood for Love,” became an international hit in 1952 after vocalist King Pleasure wrote and recorded lyrics to the number. Still a lauded performer across all jazz platforms, Moody, with his quintet, is dedicated to preserving the timeless sounds of bebop while continuing to add to its innovation. Another standout, Keith Terry, performs on June 27 alongside his Crosspulse ensemble. Keith takes audiences on a journey far outside the confines of traditional music, using his own body as a percussion tool, clapping, stomping, rubbing and jumping his way through songs. Part jazz, part clog dancing; Keith’s shows are as much about

performance as they are about music—perfect for viewers of all ages. He will also perform with the Crosspulse Rhythm Duo, featuring dancer/multi-instrumentalist Evie Ladin, as well as the Crosspulse Percussion Quintet. (The 10am show is geared for kids 5 and under; at 11am, it’s for ages 6 and over.) Pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba, who plays June 27 at 8pm, is hailed as one of the most important figures in Afro-Cuban jazz, having established a seamless and complex style that merges together elements of both Cuban and American jazz. After honing his chops as a member of Cuba’s longstanding Orquestra Aragon, Rubalcaba formed his own band, Grupo Proyecto, in 1985. Later that year, he was discovered by Dizzy Gillespie and bassist Charlie Haden, who immediately helped him secure a contract with Blue Note Records. His 1991 LP The Blessing became an instant classic, propelling Rubalcaba into jazz stardom. He has multiple Grammy Awards to his credit and one of the most distinctive piano styles in music.

After performances by Cuban drummer Dafinis Prieto on June 28 and singer Bobbe Norris on July 3, fans of popular jazz will be treated to “Songs of Sinatra: An American Celebration,” on July 5. The tribute to Ol’ Blue Eyes features trombonist/vocalist Danny Grewen alongside multi-instrumentalist Jim Rothermel, sax player Noel Jewkes, pianist Larry Dunlap, bassist Seward McCain and drummer Vince Lateano. The trombonist Wycliffe Gordon brings his wild improvisations to the stage on July 10, followed by an educational performance by Stanford Jazz Workshop founder Jim Nadel and friends, which will focus on woodwinds and stringed instruments. Jazz violinist Regina Carter and her Quintet perform on July 11, with Jeff Sanford on clarinet and flute. Jazz listeners will be delighted by the seminar “Everything You Wanted to Know About Jazz (But Were Afraid to Ask)” on July 12. Jim Nadel will once again take the stage, answering any and all questions *-

Moody’s astonishing command of all three instruments is perhaps unprecedented, and his recordings for industry leaders Blue Note, Prestige and Vanguard are essential components of the modern jazz canon.

Whoops . . . it seems he was actually on the other Tiffany’s site—watching and rewatching “Tiffany Gives Heidi Her Sponge Bath.” Yeah, right . . . he only watched porn in his “younger days”—like last week, when he was approximately five days younger. And then, wouldn’t you know it, he got “bored and curious,” as in, “Yawn . . . I wonder what really enormous fake breasts look like.” Bored? Sure. Curious? Right. What is he, an 8-year-old who has yet to hack through the parental controls on Mommy’s laptop? Actually, he’s a man, with male sexuality, which evolved to be highly visual and variety-driven, probably because the more indiscriminate sex a guy had, the more likely he was to pass on his genes. Because women get pregnant and saddled with the kids, they evolved to be choosy and seek men who show a willingness to commit. Erotica targeted to each sex plays out along these lines, notes evolutionary psychologist Catherine Salmon. While men have nudie porn, women have commitment porn—the romance novel—with equally “unrealistic images” of male behavior. Yet, you don’t see men picketing the Harlequin rack at the grocery store, complaining that women will expect a dark, imposing prince to ride up

on a white horse, pledge his everlasting love (while revealing some seriously ripped abs), and carry them back to his castle. If you want the truth about porn, ask your boyfriend whether he prefers naughty nurses to other naked professionals. Because male and female sexual psychologies are largely at odds, men hide their porn consumption while women hide their more female-centric pastimes—like loading their photo and their boyfriend’s into morphthing.com to see what the children would look like. Porn, like anything that rings bells in the brain’s pleasure center, can be addictive, but suspecting the guy’s addicted merely because he watches it is like suspecting he’s addicted to food because he ate a double cheeseburger. OK, so he watched porn for two days straight while home with the flu. If he’s always out with “the flu,” yet his only symptoms are a really bad case of carpal tunnel and being too weak to have sex with you, that’s when you start worrying. Regardless, you don’t get to paw through his Internet history. Figure out whether you’re getting your needs met, and if you aren’t, tell him, and see whether he’ll do something to change that. Remember, there are men who never look at porn. You’ll find them where all the rapists are rich and handsome and where nobody ever gets knocked up by the bus driver; in other words, wherever books like Harlequin’s “Billionaire Prince, Pregnant Mistress” and “Pregnant With the Billionaire’s Baby” are sold.

Establish a bond. Increase intimacy with you in a sexual way.” Let’s get real: You never nailed her in high school, and you think she might get drunk and put out. And no, don’t say that either, but at least be honest with yourself. And then,

when you see her, grab her some punch and just talk about life. Get a little nuzzly, put your arm around her and if she doesn’t pull away in horror, keep going. Maybe you’ll score with her, maybe you won’t, but you’ll do much better with women in general if you keep in mind that seduction is an activity, not the transcript to an episode of Dr. Phil.

6g^Zh (March 21–April 19): Reality TV personality

Spencer Pratt used to be skeptical about the power of prayer. But his wife Heidi, herself a devout believer, urged him to keep his mind open. Then, as an experiment, Spencer asked God to help him and Heidi get a double date with teen pop star Miley Cyrus and her boyfriend, despite the fact that neither of them even knew Cyrus. Apparently God heard and responded, because not too long after that, the hoped-for double date did indeed come to pass. I’m telling you this, Aries, because I think you’re entering a phase when you, like Pratt, will have extra luck in making idiosyncratic wishes come true. If I were you, though, I’d focus on more profound idiosyncratic wishes than the kind Pratt pined for.

IVjgjh (April 20–May 20): Do you have a subconscious urge to escape the constraints of your customary behavior? Have you ever wished you could be someone else for a while? If so, this is your lucky week, Taurus. The cosmos is granting you a temporary exemption from acting and feeling like your same old self. From now until July 2, you have permission to walk like, talk like, think like and even make love like a Pisces or Virgo or Gemini—or any sign, for that matter, except Scorpio or Aquarius. You might enjoy checking out my horoscopes for the other signs, and following the advice that sounds most fun. <Zb^c^ (May 21–June 20): It’s Fete Your Feet Week, Gemini. Your soles definitely need more attention, pampering, and contact with nature. (So does your soul, and hopefully that will happen as you carry out the more literal assignment.) So abstain from wearing your shoes and socks at every opportunity. Get as much contact as possible between your naked feet and the naked earth. Even walking unshod on floors and pavements could prove helpful. Foot massages are advisable, as well as pedicures, henna tattoos and foot baths. Try praying with your feet instead of your hands, and see if you can get someone to kiss and adore you down there. 8VcXZg ( June 21–July 22): “His heart was growing full of broken wings and artificial flowers,” wrote poet Federico Garcia Lorca. “In his mouth, just one small word was left.” There were times during the first half of June when I was tempted to borrow those words to describe you, Cancerian. Now, thankfully, you’re moving into a much brighter phase. The buds that are about to bloom in your heart are very much alive, not artificial, and your wings, while not fully restored to strength, are healing. Meanwhile, your mouth is even now being replenished with a fresh supply of many vivid words. AZd ( July 23–Aug. 22): What scares you or perturbs

follow Metro on twitter

twitter.com/metronewspaper

you in the coming week could, by August, become what fuels you. What makes you feel unsettled and out of sorts could turn out to be good medicine. But of course you’re under no obligation to submit yourself to this experimental sequence, Leo. The fact is, you could probably run away from the discomfort and get immediate relief. Unfortunately, taking that approach would deprive you of the benefits that will almost certainly come from enduring the discomfort for a while. My preference is that you be brave and far-seeing.

K^g\d (Aug. 23–Sept. 22): There’s a better than even chance that you’re about to embark on a Summer of Love. To improve your odds even more, meditate on the following questions. 1. What qualities do you look for in a lover that you would benefit from developing more fully in yourself ? 2. What do you think are your two biggest delusions about the way love works? 3. Is there anything you can do to make yourself more lovable? 4. Is there anything you can do to be more loving? 5. Are you willing to deal with the fact that any intimate relationship worth pursuing will inevitably evoke the most negative aspects of both partners—and require both partners to heal their oldest wounds? A^WgV (Sept. 23–Oct. 22): You are entering a phase when you’ll have more power than usual to influence people. Your charisma will be waxing and the light in your eyes will be growing more intense, making it more likely that your point of view will be heard and appreciated. Your powers of persuasion will be increasing, as well, and you’ll have extra understanding about how to motivate people and get them to work together effectively.

So let me ask you the most important question: What exactly do you want to accomplish with your enhanced clout?

HXdge^d (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): Congratulations,

Scorpio. You’ve reached the end of the Big Squeeze. You’ve served your time in the bottleneck. And so I invite you to relax your pinched expression, loosen up your puckered expectations and let the Season of Experiments begin. According to my projections, you will soon be receiving a host of invitations to wander into the frontier with your raw sense of wonder turned up all the way. Please research each invitation thoroughly before choosing. When you’ve decided which adventures are most likely to enhance your understanding of the art of liberation, dive in.

HV\^iiVg^jh (Nov. 22–Dec. 21): A guy I barely

know critiqued me at a party recently. “You haven’t suffered enough to feel intense passion,” he said. “Your life has been too happy, too easy.” I didn’t want to get into a debate about whether my life has been too happy and easy, so in my reply I didn’t mention my divorce or the time I was shot or the grueling poverty I endured for 18 years. “So you’re saying,” I told him, “that suffering is the only way you can acquire passion? I don’t agree. Have you ever raised a child? Have you ever been in love with someone who incited you to make radical changes in your life? Have you ever worked on a creation for many years and then submitted it to be judged by thousands of people? I have.” I’m letting you know about this, Sagittarius, because I predict you’ll soon be offered an experience like those I named— adventures that have the potential to build intense passion without requiring you to suffer.

8Veg^Xdgc (Dec. 22–Jan. 19): “The whole purpose

of education is to turn mirrors into windows,” said journalist Sydney J. Harris. That would be an excellent motto for you to live by in the coming weeks, Capricorn. Whether or not you’re enrolled in school, you’re in a phase when your capacity for attracting learning experiences is at a peak. To take maximum advantage of the cosmic tendencies, all you have to do is cultivate a hungry curiosity for fresh teachings and life lessons—especially those that shift you away from gazing at your own reflection and toward peering out at the mysteries of the world.

6fjVg^jh ( Jan. 20–Feb. 18): Here’s a preview of

the accomplishments I expect you to complete in the next four weeks. Number of karmic debts paid off and canceled: 1. Number of bad habits replaced with good habits: 2. Number of holes blasted in your theory about why you can’t do more of what you love to do: 300. Number of “necessities” lost that turn out not to be necessities: 1. Number of psychic wounds successfully medicated: 1. Number of confusing messes that evolve into interesting opportunities: 2. Number of romantic obstructions eliminated: 1 and a half.

E^hXZh (Feb. 19–March 20): A delicious forbidden fruit will be more available than usual in the coming weeks. You can choose to ignore it, of course. You can pretend it’s not even there and instead concentrate on the less forbidden fruits that are tasty enough. Or, on the other hand, you can sidle up closer to the forbidden fruit and engage in some discreet explorations, testing subtly to see whether it’s any healthier for your sanity than it used to be. I’m not sure what the best decision is, Pisces, but I do suggest this: Don’t just rip off all your defenses, forget all your commitments, and start heedlessly taking big bites out of the forbidden fruit. =dbZldg`/ HZcY bZ V YZhXg^ei^dc d[ ndjg \VbZ eaVc [dg ]jci^c\ Ydlc ]Vee^cZhh Yjg^c\ i]Z hZXdcY ]Va[ d[ '%%.# ;gZZL^aa6higdad\n#Xdb#

Most astronaut field trips were about geology, not getting used to a bleak hell unfit for life. For that they could have stayed in Houston. The astronauts trained at lots of sites in the United States and around the world, at least a couple of which humans had turned into wildernesses. According to Diamond, “Since human settlement began, most of [Iceland’s] original trees and vegetation have been destroyed, and about half of the original soils have eroded into the ocean. As a result . . . large areas . . . that were green at the time that Vikings landed are now lifeless brown desert.” Similarly, much of the area around Sudbury, Ontario, was a moonscape in the 1960s due to nickel smelting. In neither case, however, was environmental devastation the main draw for NASA. Instead it was geological features. One thing the moon had plenty of was rocks, and that meant geology training lest the astronauts wander right past the specimens they were supposedly there to study. After a few boring lectures, the NASA science team realized geology field trips (GFTs) better suited the former test pilots’ learn-by-doing style. Following a successful preliminary trip to Arizona in 1963, official GFTs began in ’64. GFT sites were chosen because of geologic similarities to spots the astronauts were expected to visit on the moon. Usually that meant deserts—you couldn’t see the rocks if they were covered with vegetation. However, the astronauts also visited densely wooded northern Minnesota to see outcrops of anorthosite, a rock found on the moon as well. Grand Canyon trips taught stratigraphy, the study of rock layers, though nobody expected to find water-carved lunar canyons. The trainees even visited craters formed by shallow underground nuclear tests in Nevada and by conventional explosives in Alberta, since bomb craters form the same way meteorite craters do. The astronauts visited Iceland in 1965 and 1967. Although they undoubtedly saw many formerly green spots, the centerpiece of the visits was the Askja caldera, site of multiple volcanic eruptions. It probably wasn’t verdant even in preViking days. Ontario’s Sudbury basin was a GFT destination in 1971 and ’72 because it’s a meteorite impact crater—at 62 kilometers long one of the largest on earth. There astronauts studied shatter cones (conical, striated rock chunks) and impact breccia (rock consisting of mineral fragments

embedded in natural cement), both of which they subsequently recognized on the moon. Judging from NASA photographs, the parts of the Sudbury basin the astronauts saw weren’t particularly lunar. The Askja caldera sure was, though, as were other areas they took in: central Oregon lava fields, the Big Bend region of Texas, Los Pinacates (northwest Mexico), Kapoho (Hawaii), and Sunset Crater and Cinder Lake, near Flagstaff, Ariz. Another destination was Craters of the Moon National Monument in Idaho. My assistant Bibliophage, who’s been there, reports, “I can only say if there’s a more moonlike place on earth, I don’t want to see it.” Geology wasn’t the sole reason the astronauts hit the road. Some training locations were chosen for topographical similarity to landing sites (e.g., a New Mexico river gorge standing in for the moon’s Hadley Rille). To prepare for emergency landings on their return, the astronauts also underwent jungle survival training in Panama and desert survival in Nevada and Washington. On many trips, the astronauts communicated by radio with geologists, describing interesting features using technical terminology like “FSR” (“football-size rock”). Among the exotic specimens they reported on were discarded beer cans and cow pies. Later, the scientists would point out the geology they’d missed while entertaining themselves. Contrary to what you might imagine, these traverses were conducted without space suits—too bulky in earth gravity. Some procedures, like tool use, were tested in suits at small simulated moonscapes built at Houston and the Cape. Did Apollo astronauts train in the Canadian arctic? No, but in more recent times NASA personnel have visited some moon- and Marslike locations there. Most famous is a facility run by the Mars Society at Haughton Crater on cold, forbidding Devon Island. If you’re a Martian craving familiar surroundings, you won’t find a spot on earth much homier than that.
