Text Tax Dough With local unemployment at 13.5 percent, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a scientific poll to tell most people that raising X^in iVmZh might be a tough sell. But Santa Cruz city leaders are not most people.

At the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behest, local pollster <ZcZ 7gZ\bVc is conducting a telephone survey that gauges residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; receptiveness to raising sales taxes or utility taxesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or getting inventive and adding new taxes on cell phones and Internet-based callsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in order to support city services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for what kinds of things people are willing to pay for with taxes,â&#x20AC;? says Santa Cruz BVndg B^`Z Gdi`^c. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a structural problem with our budget. The revenues the city brings in cannot keep up with the services we provide. The options, therefore, are: finding new revenue, cutting the pay and benefits of city employees or cutting services. The same residents that complain about taxes are the ones that come to us demanding that we do something for them. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no free lunch.â&#x20AC;?

The current economic downturn, which Rotkin calls a â&#x20AC;&#x153;depression, not a recession,â&#x20AC;? has already led to widespread layoffs and a 10 percent cut in city employee salaries last year. Santa Cruz

6hh^hiVci 8^in BVcV\Zg BVgi^c 7ZgcVa says polls are routinely used to avoid mounting costly campaigns that are doomed to fail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city has to ask itself what kind of services they want,â&#x20AC;? says Bernal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough time in our community, but the council still hears every day from residents who want to see improvements.â&#x20AC;?

A tax on cellular and Internet-based (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone lines like those operated through Vonage and Skype may have the most potential for passing, Rotkin says. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s despite the 2008 failure of BZVhjgZ I, a $3.49-per-month tax on cell phone lines to support 911 emergency services, which was shot down by voters 51 to 49 percent. Currently, few municipalities have tax structures in place that apply to cell phones and other nontraditional phone lines, though theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re beginning to catch up.

Los Angeles and Pomona passed similar measures in the last two years, and Rotkin thinks the city is ready to take another whack at passing itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but with a few tweaks.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were caught f lat-footed with Measure T. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize how many phone lines people have,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A per-household tax might work better.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Curtis Cartier

for cage-free eggs in order to secure lower prices. Meanwhile, Deardorff says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already collected over 1,000 signatures from staff, students and faculty on campus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other schools are making these changes,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time UCâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Santa Cruz does, too.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Jessica Lussenhop

Cheeping Out After Prop. 2 passed, banning batterycage egg production in the state, UCâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Santa Cruz senior :g^X 9ZVgYdg[[ and his group 7VcVcV Haj\h [dg 6c^bVah approached dining services about making it campuswide policy to serve only XV\Z"[gZZ Z\\h. As of this fall, it appeared that talks with 9^gZXidg d[ 9^c^c\ HZgk^XZh HXdii 7Zga^c were going extremely well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Back in early October, he told us, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, I have great news, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to make the switch to all cage-free liquid eggs.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about 90 percent of egg use on campus,â&#x20AC;? says Deardorff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fantastic.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

The new egg policy was supposed to go into effect sometime in early January, but the weeks passed with no announcement from the university.

Deardorff says he learned secondhand that the deal had been scrapped. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OK, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to finally bring this issue to the campus community,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to get the issue out there because of these broken promises.â&#x20AC;?

Two weeks ago Deardorff launched www.CageFreeUCSC.com to collect signatures on a petition urging UCSC dining to follow through with its cage-free plan, and says future campus leaf leting and action is in the works. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to show Dining Services that this is something there is demand for. Most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that [UC] Santa Cruz hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made this change,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Director Berlin confirms that changes were set to go into effect in January, but he says an â&#x20AC;&#x153;across the boardâ&#x20AC;?

40 percent jump in cage-free egg prices quickly sank the plan. He estimates it would cost an additional $70,000 a year for cage-free eggs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a national leader in sustainability, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to do everything. But a number of people have been laid off this year. How to I justify adding $70,000 in cost when that could be one or two peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jobs?

Do I value chicken more than people?â&#x20AC;?

Berlin says UCSC is now in the early stages of drafting a UC-systemwide bid

Peace Gets a Chance â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pro-Israel, pro-peaceâ&#x20AC;? may not sound like a controversial mantra for a political action committee, but in the world of Israeli-American foreign policy advocates, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loaded with meaning.

J Street, a nonprofit group of Jewish lobbyists and educators, was founded in 2008 on the premise that supporting a two-state solution to the IsraeliPalestinian conf lict and suspending Jewish settlement building in the West Bank is the best way to achieve peace in the Middle East. Now, on the heels of a well-attended inaugural conference in Washington, the group has set up a chapter in Santa Cruz. The local group meets to discuss goals on Feb. 4 at Temple Beth El in Aptos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of us in the Jewish community have felt alienated in Israeli politics,â&#x20AC;? says =dl^Z HX]cZ^YZg, co-chair of the Santa Cruz chapter of J Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The loudest voices on Israeli foreign policy have been from the hawkish right. So the people who want peace havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really had a voice. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to change that.â&#x20AC;?

Established Jewish lobbying groups like the hardline American Israel Public Affairs Committee have long been a force to be reckoned with. J Street, with its progressive approach, has been ruff ling feathers in Washington ever since President Barack Obama invited the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founder, Jeremy Ben-Ami, to a private November meeting along with other powerful Jewish groups.

GVWW^ EVjaV BVgXjh of Temple Beth El says J Streetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open-minded approach is sorely needed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;J Street is really the new kid in town,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people realize that a two-state solution is a necessity, they just disagree on how to get there.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Curtis Cartier J STREET meets Thursday, Feb. 4 at 7pm at Temple Beth El, 3055 Porter Gulch Road,

Aptos. The event will videolink with other J Street meetings around the country.

Big Fish The Santa Cruz advocacy group responsible for helping turn New Leaf â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seafood cases into models of sustainability has landed a very big fish indeed. On Jan. 28, ;^h]L^hZ announced a partnership with HV[ZlVnâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1,730-store, $41 billionâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;revenue-perannum Safewayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to advise the grocery giant on how to make its seafood offerings more eco-friendly. FishWise director of operations BVii DlZch says FishWise will take a behind-thescenes role, assessing Safewayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seafood suppliers and making recommendations on better practices. But farmed salmon wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t vanish from the case overnight.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Many of the commodity seafood products that are unsustainable will take a longer period to get them on the right trackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a five-year plan in place now to help Safewayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seafood department become more sustainable,â&#x20AC;?

Owens says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But many of these commodity seafood products that are unsustainable will take a longer period to get them on the right track.â&#x20AC;?

Owens says the Safeway deal couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have happened without the precedent set by CZl AZV[, 6cYgdc^XdĂ&#x2030;h and â&#x20AC;&#x153;our other early retail partners who were really setting the bar for the industry as a whole.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Traci Hukill Read more news online by going to http://news.santacruz.com.

Watching butchers cut up whole animals is the newest live entertainment. Could this fresh group of hipster foodies save tradition?

0G 5/03 ;3:7<3 7

I

Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S ANOTHER Monday night south of Market in San Francisco.

As the jukebox blares Joy Division, the Bloodhound Bar is shoulder to shoulder with thirtysomethings sipping from Mason jars of bacon-infused whiskey cocktails. Beards, tattoos, bandanas and black T-shirts mingle. Suddenly, the back door f lies open. Ryan Farr and Taylor Boetticher emerge, carrying giant goat and lamb carcasses high above their heads.

The two butchers throw their skinned animals onto tables. Boetticher makes the first of hundreds of cuts into the lamb, while across the dimly lighted watering hole, Farr pulls out

a giant hacksaw and swiftly cuts through the goatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neck.

Some faces wince in shock. Most lean closer and click their iPhone cameras.

This is a butcher party, a phenomenon gaining serious steam in New York and the Bay Area, often at bars like this one on Folsom Street.

If the fawning atmosphere at the Bloodhound Bar is any indicator, the notion of butchers as stars isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t merely media myth. Once, a guy had to learn electric guitar, but now, as evidenced by the front-row gathering of girls at Bloodhound, a meat cleaver is just as likely to do the trick. ¨ #

Not that these butchers need girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; both Boetticher and Farr are happily marriedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and not that butchery is anything new. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new, however, is also whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old: the idea that meat should be locally sourced and prepared instead of shipped from factory-farm centers in the Midwest. Combined with a general back-to-basics movement resurrecting simple daily acts, the arcane idea of the neighborhood butcher who can break down a whole animal, carcass to plate, is a crucial role for the future of food.

Those lucky enough to get to the front row at the Bloodhound Bar ask questions. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that cut called? How much does a whole lamb cost? Did you learn to butcher by trial and error? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah,â&#x20AC;? Farr replies, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really too much error, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;cause everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edible.â&#x20AC;? He slices meat off the ribs with a magicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flair, throws two kidneys

into a roll and ties it off, sending it to the wood-fired grill out in the alley next to a creaking rotisserie motor turning a giant pig.

Primal Cuts Butcher parties come in all forms.

The next week, six butchers appeared at Primal, a food and wine event â&#x20AC;&#x153;celebrating fire cooking, meat and the art of butchering.â&#x20AC;? Though held outside during a balmy fall afternoon at a scenic winery in St. Helena, the atmosphere was far more macho than at the Bloodhound Bar. A tall wooden gallows had been erected, full carcasses swinging from it by chained hooks. Two skinned goatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; heads at the edge of the butchersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; table greeted visitors, one with its tongue pulled ghoulishly through its teeth. ¨ $

1 =D 3 @ A B= @ G j ; 3 /B B 6 3 ; / 9 3 @ While the butchersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;including a woman surprisingly clad in tight leopard-print pants, pointed shoes and a short topâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;carved up meat, runners delivered trays of flesh through the crowds to the open wood fire area, itself marked with a grinning pigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head and a spread-eagled, crucified goat corpse.

A gruff, commanding man in tattoos, rubber boots, orange camouflage cap and USDA T-shirt tended to the enormous flame.

This was Chris Cosentino, star of Iron Chef America and chef at San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Incanto, who was seen last season serving cow testicles to Anthony Bourdain on the San Francisco episode of No Reservations. Clustered crowds for the sample tables were six deep and moving like molasses. Cosentino rushed over a plate of meat parts and barked orders to a hapless young female server. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give you one demo, and then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna go! Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mon, get some forks out here so people can just grab and go!â&#x20AC;? he shouted, as if the lack of samples was her fault. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here to eat, not to stand around!â&#x20AC;?

As she sliced the chunks, a woman asked just what it was on the tray. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is beef heart,â&#x20AC;? the server replied. Hungry but aghast, the woman turned away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, no,â&#x20AC;? she muttered, swimming her way back through the crowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No.â&#x20AC;?

If there was any lingering doubt about butchery as voyeurism, Primal erased it completely. This was meat consumption in all its chest-beating glory, relishing the pleasures of the flesh. Most attendees seemed to be from the media, carrying cameras or digital recorders and talking about their wine blogs. Still others, like the two guys who showed up wearing Viking helmets, were harder to pigeonhole. They could have just been on the prowl, like the middle-aged man who suggested to two teenage girls that â&#x20AC;&#x153;thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; better than seeinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; two beautiful ladies eatinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chicken.â&#x20AC;?

With tickets ranging from $65 to $100 and all of those crucified carcasses warming in the afternoon air like morbid floral displays, Primal was a fairly disheartening spectacle, prompting the question: Are butcher parties just a precious foodie fad, or is there more to the trend?

Meat as Metaphor Sasha Wizansky started Meatpaper magazine in 2007, not as a political act but as a cultural lens through which meat, a naturally provocative subject, can provide a limitless metaphor on how we live. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Meat is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

best conversation starter,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody has something to say about it.â&#x20AC;?

Meatpaper has featured a wearable suit made of steak on its cover and printed stories on everything from visiting a slaughterhouse to marinating and cooking a sweat sock. What it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do is moralize. Instead, it chronicles, in an era-specific fashion, the present consciousness of meatâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or, as its first issue famously coined, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fleischgeist.â&#x20AC;?

Wizansky, 36, has both hosted Meatpaper public butchery parties and judged at others, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen both sides of the spectrum, from artful butchery to testosterone-fueled bravado. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Butchery has always been a male profession,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a movement growing among women.â&#x20AC;? She cites Avedanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Meats in San Francisco, which was opened by three women in 2007, and a recent SFMOMA event with a team of female butchers carving a spit-roasted 800-pound steer in the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s atrium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was something very beautiful,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;about the way eight female butchers carved the animal down to its bones.â&#x20AC;?

One thing is constant, Wizansky says.

The fleischgeist is causing people to think about where their meat comes from and how it got to the table. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new fascination with butchers is spreading really quickly,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really happy about it, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m wondering if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a flash in the pan or if it really does represent a move away from more industrial and cordoned-off meat production.â&#x20AC;?

Chicken-Chokinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Gwendolynn Gunheim had been a vegetarian most of her life until last fall, when she bought a chicken, turned it upside-down into a pylon cone hanging from her backyard tree, stuck a knife into its neck and watched it spasm into death. Gunheim, 25, and boyfriend Nick Haig-Arack, 28, then dunked, feathered and gutted the bird, engaging in the most basic rituals of meat eatingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and, to modern eaters, one of the most taboo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just felt like it was time,â&#x20AC;? Gunheim explains of her apostasy from vegetarianism, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but I only wanted to do it that way.â&#x20AC;? With the maxim that if one eats meat, one should also be able to look the animal in the eye and kill it oneself, Gunheim didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sign up for any slaughter classes or check any bustling online message boards.

Making the Cut Local boy makes good butcher 0G B@/17 6C97::

W

HEN Chris La Veque was still working at restaurants, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go in on his days off and practice his newfound hobby of making sausages, mixing meat with herbs and spices as inspiration led him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even clocking in because I love doing it so much,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my passion.â&#x20AC;?Burly, ruddy-cheeked and good-natured, the 25-year-old La Veque is exactly the guy in the room youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think was the butcher. As the one-man force behind El Salchichero, he makes sausages, rillettes, crepinettes and other delicacies for sale at local farmers markets. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the midst of transitioning to selling full cuts of meat , a precursor to his ultimate goal of opening an Old World butcher shop on the Westside, possibly as soon as this summer.

The Boulder Creek native used to be on the chef track. From his first job at Scopazzi to a degree at the California Culinary Academy to a stage, or apprenticeship, at David Kinchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Manresa, La Veque seemed headed for restaurants. But through friends at Lindencroft Farm in Ben Lomond he met Justin Severino, another Kinch protĂŠgĂŠ, who was making a name for himself locally as Severino Community Butchers. Severino took him on, and La Veque was hooked. Through Severino he met Brad Briske, currently of CafĂŠ Gabriella, and began working as sous-chef there, and later at Cellar Doorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all the while making sausage, of course, which is regularly featured on Gabriellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menu.

For La Veque, who grew up doing 4-H, humane production is essential. For pork he uses pasture-raised hogs from Devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gulch Ranch in Marin County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy pigs,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re treated very, very well. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I base my business onâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; humanely raised animals. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s far superior quality.â&#x20AC;?

La Veque says Devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gulch pigs are finished on milk and bread, which gives their fat a creamy, buttery flavor thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instantly recognizable as different from the norm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Commercial pork has a very strong flavor that we think of as pork, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the taste of factory farming,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no room to move. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re living in their own feces, and you can taste that.â&#x20AC;?

For La Veque and his friends, butchering meat thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raised well is increasingly becoming an integrated part of life. Just weeks ago, he tells me, he helped a friend slaughter and butcher four cows to feed his family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think every meat eater should witness the harvest of an animal, large or small,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;See what goes into it.â&#x20AC;?

That desire to respectfully participate in the production of meat drove Santa Cruz resident Charles Sigismund to learn how to butcher a hog not long ago, and to sign up for an upcoming class at TLC Ranch in Aromas on butchering chickens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The industrial process is just a horrible one,â&#x20AC;? Sigismund says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a much more respectful way to do it. I wanted to see more of the process. It seems to me if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to eat meat, you ought to know what it is.â&#x20AC;?

EL SALCHICHERO sausages are available at the Scotts Valley and Live Oak farmers markets (Saturday and Sunday, respectively).

1 =D 3 @ A B= @ G j ; 3 /B B 6 3 ; / 9 3 @ opened her copy of The Encyclopedia of Country Living, turned to the chapter on poultry and went for it.

Last week, it was Haig-Arackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turn.

The two drove out to Gleason Ranch, a sixth-generation farm outside of Bodega specializing in grass-fed lamb, beef, pork and poultry, and picked up a live chicken. Once home, they strung their pylon cone from the tree and positioned it over a galvanized bucket. Haig-Arack placed the bird on a stump, thanked it, chopped its neck with an ax and drained it in the cone. Three hours and plenty of garlic, lemon and butter later, Gunheim opened their Wedgwood oven and served dinner.

This young couple arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t alone.

In the wake of Novella Carpenterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illuminating book Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer, the idea of raising, slaughtering and eating your own animals has resurfaced with a vengeance. Or maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just something in the air. Gunheim, whose greatgrandparents once owned a chicken farm in Santa Rosa, had never heard the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;urban farming.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess I was aware that there was this back-to-the-land revival,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but when it came down to it, I just did it.â&#x20AC;?

Haig-Arack had thought the experience would turn him off from eating meat entirely, but instead, he declared a reverent appreciation for a food heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d taken for granted, despite the tedious post-kill process. Plucking feathers took longer than heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d thought.

Harder still was cutting around the anus and removing the innards, especially since the intestines smelled terrible and air displacement caused the dead chickenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s larynx to make faint clucking sounds each time he inserted his fist.

Backlash in a Good Way In Napa, Taylor Boetticher pulls a sizzling pork roll from the oven and resumes snapping beans into a bowl, too busy to sit down as he prepares lunch for the employees who are working hard in the cramped back room at his Fatted Calf Charcuterie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people are looking for more of a connection to what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eating and where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming from,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just for elite Bay Area foodies.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an important craft to maintain.

Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-grain beer brewing or good coffee, cheese, breadâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;whatever.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a backlash, in a good way. It seems like the last 20 years of the 20th century just got so crazed with excess and more-more-more, I feel like people are starting to pay attention to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

important instead of getting ahead.â&#x20AC;?

At the Bloodhound Bar, Boetticherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s butcher party with Farr, who runs 4505 Meats in San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ferry Building, had a decidedly post-moral feel. The question of the animalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; deaths was either never raised or, as was the case in St. Helena, overtly snubbed.

(The Bloodhound animals came from local farmsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Magruder Ranch, Marin Sun Farms, Robert Sinskey Vineyardsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and were slaughtered by Budâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Meats in Penngrove.) Boetticher has killed animals before, and admits it â&#x20AC;&#x153;absolutelyâ&#x20AC;? feels weird. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somethingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong with you if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel anything,â&#x20AC;? he says, solemnly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a life.â&#x20AC;?

Boetticher takes opinions about public butcher parties seriously, which sometimes allege a lack of respect for the animals when a fired-up audience turns the craft into a spectator sport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can see where people might be uncomfortable,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but what are we gonna do?

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gonna have one of these things, and cut and use every single part of the animalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which we doâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and tell people not to take pictures? Or tell people to act like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in church or something?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bar. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a party. And, no, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not glorifying anything. I certainly donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crass. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna happen, it should be done as respectfully as possible, as peacefully as possible,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once its purpose has been carried outâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what farm animals are forâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I think we have a responsibility to use every piece, and make sure that it gets cooked respectfully, and made deliciously.â&#x20AC;?

The celebrity butcher. The fleischgeist.

The public dismemberment of animals.

It starts small, like the worker at Fatted Calf who left the French Laundry to learn about meat; or the onlookers asking questions at the Bloodhound Bar; or the young couples who rethink where their chicken comes from. Slowly, it builds into rampant interest in a lost craft with sold-out butchery classes, raised consciousness and a potential threat to consolidated factory farming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure that there will always be Tysons and IBPs,â&#x20AC;? Boetticher says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll always be a market for the styro-packed, irradiated meat thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on sale cheap at Albertsons. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not really trying to change the world. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just trying to offer an alternative to somebody looking for something better.â&#x20AC;?

7< 13:30@/B7=< =4 4:756B FEATHERS, space stations, penguins and balloons all come together in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flying,â&#x20AC;? a new exhibit exploring the world of flight. Inspired by the recent misadventures of â&#x20AC;&#x153;the balloon boyâ&#x20AC;? as well as an interest in sharing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;specific idiosyncratic behavior of birds,â&#x20AC;? local artists Kirby Scudder and Gazelle Rider embrace â&#x20AC;&#x153;the broader aspects of flyingâ&#x20AC;? through painting, sculpture, photography, installation and more. (Cat Johnson)

FLIGHT opens Friday, Feb. 5, at 5pm as part of the First Friday Art Tour. The Mill Gallery, 131 Front St., Santa Cruz. Runs through Feb. 28.

(2000) Cameron Croweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nostalgic look back at his time as a young reporter for Rolling Stone is almost great. It almost gets by on Philip Seymour Hoffmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance as Lester Bangs alone.

It almost doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drag after the first hour.

In short, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost a movie I want to watch over and over again.

108 min.) Romantic story from Lasse Hallstrom about a soldier who falls in love with a student while on leave, not long before 9/11, and the dramatic twists and turns their relationship takes over the course of several years.

After the Paris Hilton sex tape One Night In Paris rocked the world, a sequel seemed like a no-brainer. Alas, this is not that sequel. Instead, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a spy thriller about John Travolta launching shoulder-mounted Light Armored Weapons around Paris. Again, just to be clear, not Paris Hilton.

savages called Naâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;vi live in a phosphorescent forest full of saurian beasts. Jake (Sam Worthington) is the paraplegic brother of a dead soldier hooked up to a Naâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;vi shell; the program is under the direction of a chainsmoking biologist (Sigourney Weaver). The politics play it both ways; letting us swoon over the military hardware and still lament for the plundered forests. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see it, see it in 3-D. (RvB) B63 0:7<2 A723 (PG13; 126 min.) The film focuses on Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron), who overcame homelessness as a teenager to received a football scholarship

to the University of Mississippi and later played in the NFL. Oher succeeded with the help of a wealthy Christian couple, Ole Miss grads Leigh Anne (Sandra Bullock) and Sean Tuohy (Tim McGraw), who took Oher in and made him a part of their family. (MV) B63 0==9 =4 3:7

(R; 118 min.) Denzel Washington stars as the usual wanderer on the usual postapocalyptic wastes. The Hughes brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bible-flogging apocalypso could be read as a Western, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a monomaniacal one.

Washington underplays the part of a soft-spoken drifter who deals with a vicious yet zany town

boss (Gary Oldman). The film is blessed with actors (Tom Waits, Michael Gambon and a probably synthesized but touching Mr. Bigglesworth cat), but the movie has this pious streak that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be overcome. Scriptwriter Gary Whitta, as in the IMDb sentence, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gary Whitta was editor of PC Gamer for several years,â&#x20AC;? seems to have retrofitted this film from a video game. In the end, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to overlook the arbitrariness of what survives (sunglasses, high-powered ammo, Hummers, lingerie, cicadas, the Transamerica Pyramid) over what doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t (common sense, humansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; unique ability to invent and band together).

(R; 135 min.) A sleek, twisty mystery, illuminated by the stunning PenĂŠlope Cruz, the new Pedro AlmodĂłvar is also a sprawler. The James M. Cainâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;style plot involves a blind film director from Madrid (LuĂ­s Homar).

After losing his sight, the filmmaker took the ballsy new name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harry Caineâ&#x20AC;? and became a writer. News of the death of a corrupt tycoon sends Caine back to confront unfinished businessâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to retrieve the moment 16 years previously where he lost both love and sight. The dead tycoon in question, a cuckolded millionaire named Ernesto Martel (JosĂŠ Luis GĂłmez), unwillingly shared the love of Caineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. Lena, known as Magdalena, was an actress, secretary and part-time prostitute who took as her working-girl name Severine. She, of course, is played by Cruz.

No one but AlmodĂłvar knows how to make Cruz really fascinating.

119 min.) Crazy Heart gives Jeff Bridges a belly-baring role, with his slit-eyed country singer Bad Blake as a kind of Bad Lebowski, a morose sweet-talking satyr drinking his way to the grave. On tour in his ancient 1978 Chevy Suburban, he meets a former Oklahoma newspaper reporter, Jean (Maggie Gyllenhaal).

What truly concerns Jean is the influence this charismatic wreck of a man will be on her young son. Robert Duvall, who co-produced, plays a clean and sober bar owner in Houston who is also Badâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mentor.

Ultimately, it may be that Bridges is more fun to watch as a drunkardâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; his Bad has a hostile, coolly funny mean streak that goes away when he gets dry and sensitive.

min.) Two children of an Oregon businessman are doomed to die of a rare disease. Fearlessly,

the father quits his job and starts a new career financing the development of an experimental drug. The search means recruiting an unappreciated researcher on the subject: crusty Cornhusker Dr. Robert Stonehill (Harrison Ford), the T-shirt-wearing, pickup-truck-driving kind of physician they customarily build medical shows around.

Then comes the conflict: Stonehill, as per his indomitable name, goes up against the internally bleeding family man John Crowley (Brendan Fraser), who knows how to wear a suit and beat the bushes for money.

Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance is funny at first, and then becomes a one-note sonata. He bellows â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get the hell out of my labâ&#x20AC;? more than once. Ford is headed for curmudgeonness, a good living; in a year or two, shave his head, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to play Dick Cheney. Fraser is, like Ford, a good actor caught in the mangle of franchise-making machinery. One never loses faith in Fraser, but he needs to look for tougher material to go with his new fleshiness: a sharp bastard, a crooked sheriff. (RvB)

to the devil on her 16th birthday; Mr. Nick (Tom Waits) is sniffing around already. During their travels, the group rescues a hanged man named Tony (an irresolute Heath Ledger). Certainly, Gilliamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for antique theater is trueâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;although the greasepaint and cardboard make one wonder why he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stage this story instead of filming it.

(PGâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;13; 135 min.)

Spielberg-produced supernatural thriller is an adaptation of Alice Seboldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harrowing novel about a young murder victim who lingers between this world and the next. A miscast Stanley Tucci appears along with Rachel Weisz, Mark Wahlberg, Susan Sarandon and Saoirse Ronan. <7<3 (PG-13; 117 min.)

Federico Felliniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 8 1/2 (1963) is boiled down to a musical series of celebs in pushup bras.

An Italian film director, Guido (Daniel DayLewis), has announced an ambitious new film project. But Guido has no idea what the film is going to be, and the time to start shooting is coming up.

On intelligence, but she board is his daughter, canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t focus, and we learn who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that she has been promised why in flashback; she

was serially raped by her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boyfriend. Her scathing, angry mother, Mary (Moâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Nique), blames Precious for this and her resulting pregnancy), urging her to stop this foolishness about school and go on welfare. Moâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Nique is great, but Precious has a judgmental streak that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quit. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been essential to a success worthy of its sensationalism. (RvB) / A7<5:3 ;/< (R; 109 min.) Based on Christopher Isherwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early-1960s novel, canonical in gay literature but slightly dusty today. A British professor (Colin Firth) teaching in L.A. loses his longtime companion in a car accident and has decided he can no longer stand the pain. He finds some consolation with a hard-drinking old friend (and ex-lover) called Charley (Julianne Moore); on his route, he encounters young men who are both interesting and interested.

Noteworthy as a great comeback performance

by Firth, who has had much substandard work to deal with lately.

Firth plays George with sensitivity and grace, and a sense of the era that most of the performers here lack. Director Tom Ford shows his roots as a fashion designer, focusing on surfaces. The clothes donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the men.

(PG; 101 min.) It might rekindle your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faith in the tooth fairy, but it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do their faith in the movies any good. Dwayne Johnson, a.k.a. the Rock, stars as a mean hockey player on the skids in Lansing, Mich. His remark about the nonexistence of the tooth fairy makes the fairies enslave him for two weeks. Once-hot scriptwriters Babaloo Mendel and Lowell Ganz have had their script amended, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real end-of-the-line project with Ashley Judd (as Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlfriend) looking the most likely to be carried down by the wreck. Johnson tries to fluff the movie but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no help there, either; Chase Ellison as the teenage son is,

oddly, the noteworthy performance; some might think that director Michael Lembeck (Santa Clause II and the son of Harvey â&#x20AC;&#x153;Erik von Zipperâ&#x20AC;? Lembeck) let Ellison play the kid as too troubled, but at least thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sense in him of troubles too big to be healed by the usual â&#x20AC;&#x153;dream bigâ&#x20AC;? speeches.

Billy Crystal is mucho bad as fairylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gadget expert. Julie Andrews, as the head fairy, goes beyond self-parody into a look of near pain; she recalls her old foe Pauline Kaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comment: â&#x20AC;&#x153;They may have forgotten how to make good movies in Hollywood, but at least theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good at preserving people.â&#x20AC;?

min.) As the predatory Ryan Bingham, George Clooney delivers a startlingly good performance. Sadly, the film is compromised by director Jason Reitman, who shows signs of morphing into Cameron Crowe. Bingham is a hired terminatorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a man brought in to fire people; he tolerates this job with benefits of an executive life with plenty of travel.

Enter a young, seemingly equally callous rival (Anna Kendrick). Having this inexperienced girl

along interrupts Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regularly scheduled no-strings flings with a fellow constant business traveler, Alex (Vera Farmiga). The acrid first half is the best partâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Clooney makes us admire Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gamesmanship. The film wants us to equate two different kinds of toxicitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to draw a line between the corporate bloodletting that juices up stock portfolios and the wrongness of the present-tense sex life that Ryan and Alex enjoy.

Too bad that Farmiga and Clooney are such a scintillating pair that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see them pay the piper.

lived. As Victoria, the lovely and suitably aristocratic Emily Blunt is the best part of this story. Treated with brutal overcaution and surveillance by her mother, the Duchess of Kent (Miranda Richardson), and her friend (perhaps with benefits) Lord Conroy, the girl is kept locked up and escorted down all stairs as if she were a brittle-boned child.

When she grows older, her cousin Albert (Rupert Friend) comes to court, and this starts a romance, tainted with scheming by the power in Albertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family, the perfidious Belgian king Leopold (Thomas Kretschmann).

Director Jean-Marc ValĂŠe slows things down and smooths over the complexities of history; matters get simplified to the point where it seems like nothing is going on in the world outside the problem of Victoria trying to get some time alone with Albert. (RvB)

(PG; 112 min.) Michael Cera plays Nick Twisp in Miguel Artetaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alternadate movie. Young Nick is a virgin in the leafier part of Oakland, and he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand it.

His momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boyfriend

of the day, Jerry (Zach Galifianakis), has to leave town suddenly.

Jerry, Nick and the mom in question (Jean Smart) go vacationing at â&#x20AC;&#x153;Restless Axles,â&#x20AC;? a sad trailer park by a lake.

There, Nick meets a girl who is too good to be real: Sheeni Saunders (Portia Doubleday), kept under lock and key by her parents. Nick is determined to get next to her at all costsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;even if it means creating the identity of â&#x20AC;&#x153;François Dillinger,â&#x20AC;? a kind of Big Lots version of the breezy heel Belmondo played in Breathless.

Small-scale mayhem follows in Francoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wake.

Based on a self-published novel by C.D. Payne, Youth in Revolt invokes numerous local sites, from Ukiah to Santa Cruz (though for budget reasons, the movie was shot in Louisiana and Michigan). The writing is so crisp that one ignores the incidents of dead air and the jokes that fail to build. Despite a nod to computers at the beginning, this is a film that carries out its scheme of rebel cool against a background of vinyl LPs, French New Wave references, pay telephones and a thinly veiled version of the book The Joy of Sex.

Astrology Free Will

By Rob Brezsny

For the week of February 3 /@73A (March 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;April 19): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those who know how to win are much more numerous than those who know how to make proper use of their victories.â&#x20AC;? So said the ancient Greek historian Polybius, and now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m conveying the message to you. I hope it will serve as a spur in the wake of your recent triumph. Will you be content with merely basking in the glow, frittering away the provocative potentials? Or will you get down to business and use your new advantages to upgrade your destiny to what we might refer to as Aries 2.0?

B/C@CA (April 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;May 20): â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever shines should be observed,â&#x20AC;? said 19th-century astronomer William Herschel, discoverer of the planet Uranus. He was referring to his specialty, heavenly bodies, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to expand the meaning for your use. According to my analysis, it has become very important for you to notice, observe and think about anything that shines.

Doing so will tune you in to exactly what you need to know in order to make the best decisions in the coming weeks.

53;7<7 (May 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;June 20): â&#x20AC;&#x153;One doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time,â&#x20AC;? wrote French author Andre Gide. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m guessing that 2009 was a time when you embarked on such a search, Geminiâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a half-blind, groping exploration that asked you to leave the past behind without knowing where the future lay. By now, though, I suspect you have sighted the shore of your new frontier. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll happen soon.

1/<13@ (June 21â&#x20AC;&#x201C;July 22): I wonder if you can you handle this much healing intensity, Cancerian.

The possibilities for transforming difficult parts of your life are substantial. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll name a few ways this could play out: 1. A confusing riddle may be partially solved through a semidivine intervention. 2. A sore spot could be soothed thanks to the power of your curiosity. 3. An ignorance that has caused you pain may be illuminated, allowing you to suffer less.

4. If you can summon the capacity to generously tolerate uncertainty, you may find and rehabilitate an orphaned part of your life. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying for sure that any of this stuff will happen, but the odds are favorable that at least one will.

:3= (July 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 22): What will it be, Leo? A time of rampaging ids and slamming doors and lost opportunities? Of strange smells and sweeping views of other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hells? Or will this be the week you finally slip into the magic sanctuary and track down the secret formula? Will this be the breakthrough moment when you outmaneuver the â&#x20AC;&#x153;dragonâ&#x20AC;? with that nonviolent â&#x20AC;&#x153;weaponâ&#x20AC;? youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been saving for when it was absolutely necessary? It really is up to you. Either scenario could unfold. You have to decide which one you prefer, and then set your intention.

D7@5= (Aug. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Sept. 22): I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean to alarm you, but I think you may be in a light hypnotic trance right now. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible that the thrumming hum of your routine has shut down some of your normal alertness, lowering your awareness of certain situations that you really need to tune in to. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do something about this! When I count to three, you will hereby snap out of your daze and become fully awake. 1 . . . 2 . . . 3. Now look around you and get yourself more closely in touch with your immediate environment. Make an effort to vividly see and hear and smell everything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on. This will have the effect of mobilizing your subconscious mind.

Then, for a period of at least five days, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a kind of X-ray vision. :70@/ (Sept. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Oct. 22): You would stir up some good fortune for yourself if you brought meals to shut-ins or gave a little presentation at an old folksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home or donated your old laptop to a low-income family. Oddly enough, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also an excellent time for you to scratch and claw for a bigger market share, or to get the upper hand on a competitor, or to bring your creative ideas to people in a position to help you.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the odd thing about this week. Capitalist-style self-promotion and actualized compassion will not only co-existâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a symbiotic relationship.

A1=@>7= (Oct. 23â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Nov. 21): Last week was the anniversary of my very first weekly horoscope column, which appeared years ago in the Good Times, a newspaper in Santa Cruz, Calif. My initial effort was crude and a bit reckless compared to what I eventually learned to create. And yet it was imbued with a primal fervor and heartfelt adventurousness

that had a certain charm, and many people seemed to find it useful. Today I bow down to that early effort, honoring it for the seed it sprouted and thanking it for the blessings it led to. I encourage you to do something similar to what I just described, Scorpio: Pay homage to the origins that made it possible for you to be who you have become.

A/57BB/@7CA (Nov. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Dec. 21): In the Choctaw language, there are two kinds of past tenses. In one, you speak about an event or experience that you personally know to be a fact. In the other, you deliver information that you have acquired secondhand and therefore canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t definitely vouch for.

In my perfect world, you Sagittarians would find a way to incorporate this perspective into all your communications during the coming week. In other words, you would consistently distinguish between the unimpeachable truth and the alleged truth.

According to my analysis of the astrological omens, this would give you great power to influence the rhythms of life to flow in your favor.

1/>@71=@< (Dec. 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Jan. 19): â&#x20AC;&#x153;The great composer does not set to work because he is inspired,â&#x20AC;? wrote music critic Ernest Newman, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but becomes inspired because he is working. Beethoven, Wagner, Bach, and Mozart settled down day after day to the job in hand. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste time waiting for inspiration.â&#x20AC;? I think what Newman said applies to those working in any field where creativity is neededâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which is really just about every field. Given your current astrological omens, Capricorn, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s especially apropos for you now. This is an excellent time to increase your mastery of the kind of discipline that spurs inventive thought and surprising breakthroughs. /?C/@7CA (Jan. 20â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Feb. 18): I got an email from an Aquarian reader complaining that the astrologers she consulted in early 2009, including me, were wrong about the year ahead. All of us said it would be a time of expansion and opening for your tribe, a phase of rapid growth and fresh energy. But according to this reader, 2009 turned out to be very different.

Every Aquarius she knew had a tough ride. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my response: Expansion and opening did indeed occur, but their initial effects werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what you expected.

They shattered the old containers of your life in order to make it possible for you to create new, bigger containers that would be more suitable for the person youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re becoming. And this year, 2010, is when you will work in earnest to create those new containers. Nowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good time to dig in. >7A13A (Feb. 19â&#x20AC;&#x201C;March 20): I wish you could aim tachyon particles through an inverted positronic array while simultaneously modulating synaptical relays through an anti-matter torque-buffer. This would bend the space-time continuum back to a point before your recent detour began. Then, armed with knowledge of the future, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be able to navigate your way more elegantly through the crazy mash of illusions and misunderstandings. But since the high-tech solution I described may not be possible, I suggest that instead you clear your head of theories about why people are doing what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing. Slow yourself down so completely that you can see the majestic flicker of eternity hidden in every moment.

Be a flame of love, not a swamp of self-justification.

And send humble notes and witty gifts to anyone whose links with you got tweaked.
