The South Central Farm in Los Angeles is not doing well right now... they have started bulldozing at least half of it today, and there were more arrests as farmers tried desperately to stop them until the courtdate next week. Please, if you could spread the word, and go to their website that would be great.

FILM SYNOPSIS: GLOBAL GARDENER
------------------------------

BILL MOLLISON is a practical visionary. For three decades he has traveled
the globe spreading the word about permaculture, the method of sustainable
agriculture that he devised. Permaculture weaves together microclimate,
annual and perennial plants, animals, soils, water management and human
needs into intricately connected productive communities. Mollison has proved
that even in the most difficult conditions permaculture empowers people to
turn wastelands into food forests.

IN THE TROPICS: Mollison introduces the basic principles, and shows results
in Australia, India, and Zimbabwe.

ARID LANDS: Reversing desertification in Arizona, Botswana and Australia.

COOL CLIMATES: Europe, Tasmania, and the San Juan Islands in Washington
State.

# San Francisco Mime Troupe presents Godfellas
Saturday, July 8th and Sunday, July 9th
1:30pm music, 2pm show
Free. Donations appreciated.

Imagine a nation where religious fervor runs hot, and rhetoric runs
hotter. Where belief has replaced reason, and where Liberty and
Justice play a broken second fiddle to an all powerful, omniscient,
omnipresent military-industrial God complex. That's the nation
Reverend C.B. De Love wants. That's also the nation where shy civics
teacher Angela Franklin finds herself. In her struggle to stop the
coming Theocracy, will Angela go too far? In her zeal to destroy the
opiate of the masses, will she make a religion out of her anti-
religion, joining the ranks of the Gangsters for God? Or will she see
the folly of blind faith in anything - even the Constitution - and
return to Reason? Come see this musical comedy by the San Francisco
Mime Troupe.

# Reclaim Our Fate! Climate, Energy and Global Justice * Sun July 9: DC teach-in / concert / spokescouncil!
Reclaim Our Fate!
Climate, Energy, and Global Justice A FREE half-day Teach-In, followed by Spokescouncil and Benefit Concert

Join activists speaking out on the Climate Change and Energy Crises! As Global Justice movements plan worldwide protests opposing the July 15-17 2006 G8 Summit in Russia -- where world leaders including President Bush will meet for "energy security" consultations that threaten the Earth and people everywhere with economic and ecological disaster -- we gather to reclaim the debate & our fate from corporate domination by the Group of 8! SUNDAY July 9th, noon-midnight (doors open 11:30 am -- see schedule below)
at the People's Media Center and AlFishawy Cafe 4132 Georgia Avenue, NW Washington DC (between Upshur & Taylor, 3 blocks North of Petworth metro Station on the green line, Bus #70/71/62/64) 12 to 1:45 Climate Science 101 and Direct Action Strategies to stop Climate Catastrophe. Presented by Climate Crisis Coalition and Rising Tide North America

2 to 3:45 The Mountain Justice Movement to Save Appalachia's Mountains from Mountaintop Removal Coal Mining -- And Energy Alternatives that Don't Suck! Presented by Mountain Justice Summer and Energy Justice Network

4 to 5:45 Oil and Empire, Bombs and Poverty ... For Global Justice, Against War: Linking Our Movements, Before It's Too Late! Discussion facilitated by local DC anti-war and global justice activists
PLUS trainings (Legal, Medical, Tactics) for affinity groups and individuals participating in non-violent direct action with the July 10-16 DC Gr8 Week of Resistance to the G8's Great Greed!

Teach-In organized by Rising Tide North America and Mobilization for Global Justice , Sponsored by Reclaim the Commons Visit http://www.rtc.revolt.org and e-mail reclaimthecommons [at] gmail.com for more details *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
AND AFTER THE TEACH-IN!! 6-midnight ** $5 vegetarian dinner-n-drink ( No Alcohol )
6:30 pm**Action Spokescouncil meeting for DC Week of Resistance to the G8 ** 8-midnight **Benefit concert for "Green Scare" imprisoned environmental activists and for the July 15th International Day of Direct Action against Climate Change ** OPEN TO ALL! With Mosquito Death Squadon (art/experimental rock) and more bands TBA $5 donation suggested-no one turned away.

** The Green Scare is a federal round-up environmental and animal rights activists, which The National Lawyer's Guild among others has condemned as unconstitutional. Officially called "Operation Backfire", this wide-scale orchestrated investigation of activists uses paid informants, warrantless spying on a range of organizations, and threats of severe sanctions to leverage fear of conviction under unprecedented penalties for property crimes. 888-NLG-ECOLAW is a hotline established to support these activists. Visit http://www.greenscare.org for more info on solidarity with Green Scare victims. **
** The G8, or Group of 8, is the seven wealthiest industrialized nations in the world plus Russia. They officially meet once a year to strategize policies and plan their joint domination of the world, and in recent years have been confronted by intense popular demonstrations wherever they go. The political heads of these countries -- the U.S., Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Japan -- are pushing the agenda of corporate globalization at the cost of the welfare of the people they claim to represent. We take to the streets when the G8 meets to reject their worldview of profit at any cost, and to reclaim our commons of autonomous political space. Authentic democracy or corporate oligarchy? The choice is ours... **

If we were meant to be naked, we would be born that way.
Naked people do not support sweat shops or use nuclear energy and phosphates washing their clothes.
Naked people are closer to nature, and take better care of their environment.
Naked people are not hiding anything.

# FREE Intro | Personal Evolution & NLP | July 11th

"I could rave about how Jason's guidance has changed my life [...] this
pales in comparison to how Jason's IDEAs have changed the lives of countless
people around me -- both directly through the amazing training he did with
my staff, and indirectly in the hundreds of students we influence as
instructors and coaches [...] I can confidently credit much of the success
of my growing company (16.2% growth last year) to the brilliant education
Jason provided. I can sum up his work as the MasterCard commercial might,
'Priceless.'"

- Isa "GlitterGirl" Isaacs, Founder, Temple of Poi

Full Details:
http://evolutionaryawareness.com/events/intros/intro.php

Why...?

Have you ever wonder what all of this personal development was really for?
What was the broader point? Or perhaps how it all the modalities fit
together? Have you ever wanted to be free from your past--really free? Free
from not only the emotional charge, but also free from the limiting
decisions, and beliefs that were formed around events? Have you ever wanted
to develop a healthy sense of self and ego--true esteem for the self--and
all of the freedom that comes from that? Have you ever wanted to have
access to your true core--the best within you? Your deepest self?

That is what is available to you through this event. Not just the "what",
but the specific "how".

And if you knew how to do all of that...what would it be worth to you? What
kind of difference could it make in your life? In your relationships? In
your career path? In assisting you in discovering and living your purpose?

The possibilities are limitless...RSVP now to reserve your spot and your
ticket to personal evolution.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IN HARMONY WITH THE KEMETIC PHILOSOPHY OF BROTHER YIRSER RA HOTEP, YOU CAN ALSO ATTEND ON THE SAME, SYNCHRONISTIC WEEKEND, A GREAT LECTURE SERIES WITH BROTHER WAYNE CHANDLER, MS, CPH, SCE:

Choosing Life: Exploring Nutrition as the Gateway to Immortality
featuring Wayne Chandler M.S., C.P.H., S.C.E
Date: Saturday, July 15 & 22, 2006
Time: July 15, 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM & July 22, 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Location: The Dream Space 7433 Hillmont Dr. Oakland, CA
Fee: $60.00 ($20 per session) Early registration* $65.00 at the door

This Three Part lecture series will take participants through a journey of physical rejuvenation and re-youthing experience which is the destiny and the wave of the human race. The information presented is the cutting edge and constitutes the latest research in bio-chemical, core energetics, and Mind-Body-Spirit medicine. These segments will enlighten participants to the avenues one may take to regenerate systemically the human body.

Part One will explore the various reasons why the human body degenerates though it is primed and genetically coded to live forever. Immortality is the birthright of every human being, yet an array of cultural/social mechanisms prevents the human entity from living past the average age of 65-75 years...the last 25 of those years being absorbed in physical decay, pain, and emotional misery.
Part Two will examine the various foods, supplements, and elixirs that reinstate the overall vitality of the human body. Simple trace minerals such as zinc play an overwhelmingly essential role in all generative functions...physical and energetic.
Part Three: Immortal Energetics will discuss the relationship of the organs in the human body as they relate to our overall mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. This presentation will reveal specific techniques and practices one can do to reestablish the keys to health and longevity by manipulating the death codes programmed into the human body and replacing them with the light codes of vitality and long life.

BIO - Wayne B. Chandler, M.S., C.P.H., S.C.E. is the author of Ancient Future: The Teachings and Prophetic Wisdom of the Seven Hermetic Laws of Ancient Egypt and the forth coming book The Brighter Side of Darkness: A Light Warriors Guide to Inner Alchemy and Spiritual Revelation. He is a motivational speaker and workshop coordinator and has lectured around the globe. Chandler is certified in the techniques of Core Energetics; as instructed by Mantak Chia, Choa Kok Sui and Minke DeVoss. He is also certified in Tui Na, one of the pillars of Chinese Medical Science.

# July 15 - Day of Action against Climate Change and G8 - EF! Call to Action!
A call to action from Earth First! Climate Caucus and Rising Tide North America
July 15th 2006 -- Direct Action for Climate Justice

International Day of Direct Action
against Climate Change and the G8
Rise Up Against G8 Policies
Target Fossil Fuel Industries in Your Town or Bioregion

On July 15th, the "Group of 8" (G8) richest industrialized countries will gather in St. Petersburg, Russia to plot their continued commodification and domination of the planet, this time under the banner of "Energy Security." A leaked G8 "Communique on Energy Security" calls for trillions of dollars in new investments in oil, gas and coal production worldwide, plus wide-scale global expansion of nuclear energy. With runaway climate change* looming just over the horizon, such neoliberal business-as-usual poses a direct threat to the continuation of life on Earth as we know it. Resistance is self defense. The G8 agenda promotes petroleum-dependent "Energy Security" that pollutes our land and atmosphere, ravages poor and indigenous communities, and scorches the Earth's climate. Their recipe for disaster must be met with our global resistance!

July 15th will be an International Day of Action Against Climate Change. As G8 energy ministers promise trillions in new subsidies to the industries destroying our planet and our future, we will take action to shut them down! This is a call for autonomous, decentralized actions appropriate for your town, city, or bioregion. Use this international day of action to support local struggles against oil refineries, gas pipelines, strip mines and coal-fired power plants. Disrupt the financial backers of the fossil fuel industry. Host teach-ins to spread sustainable post-petroleum living skills. Find a weak point in the infrastructure of resource exploitation and throw a literal or symbolic wrench in the works. Visit your local polluters and give 'em hell!

The July 15th International Day of Action Against Climate Change is being mobilized by Rising Tide North America, a new network initiated in the US by the Earth First! Climate Caucus, with inspiration and support from the UK's vibrant Rising Tide direct action movement for climate justice and against climate change. Rising Tide North America is actively mobilizing July 15th actions in local bioregions, as well as reaching out to environmental justice, climate action and radical sustainability movements in all of the G8 countries plus the Global South.

Rising Tide North America is building a large collection of outreach and agit-prop materials that can be used by groups around the continent (and the world) to organize locally. These materials will be downloadable from http://www.reclaimthecommons.net and from the website of Rising Tide North America (comin' soon).

Join the Rising Tide North America network, and tell us about July 15th actions against climate change being planned in your community or bioregion! Contact us at efclimatecaucus [at] wildmail.com.

For more information and updates about July 15th international actions against climate change, plus news and links about additional global resistance against the 2006 G8 Summit from July 14th to 17th, go to http://www.reclaimthecommons.net

*19 of the 20 hottest years on record have occurred since 1980. Islands in the South Pacific are already evacuating due to rising sea levels. Storms and hurricanes are growing more severe. Polar bears are drowning as their icy habitat breaks apart and drifts out to sea. Greenland and Antarctica are melting. Everyday we spew more greenhouse gases burned from fossil fuels into the atmosphere; everyday we are one step closer to what scientists refer to as "the tipping point," on the verge of catastrophic and irreversible climate chaos.

# BrainJams Presents: Rent an Expert 07/19/06 5:30pm - 9:00pm

FREE to attend and network - classes will cost about $5 each

Rent an Expert is an event where people who want to help others do,
or learn something, offer their services to the members of the
community for a very small fee (average is $5). All the money
collected will be donated to a charity that is chosen by all
participants.

Some examples of what might be offered include: how to setup a blog,
how to get the most from shortcuts in Photoshop, configure a Drupal
community, redesign a Web site, customize a WordPress theme, create a
survey, optimize AdSense ads, figure out tagging, how to shoot better
photographs or just about anything really - even non-technical things
like how to write a press release. Ideally this will happen in one on
one exchanges, but it could be a project with a couple of people
involved that needs the expertise or perhaps a team of people who are
offering their expertise.

The event is being sponsored by BrainJams, MindJet and RateItAll.

If you would like to share your expertise, please sign up here:

Biomimicry, a term first coined in 1997 by biologist Janine Benyus,
is a term that applies to many inventive new industries. It is the
art and science of learning and using the "designs" which we see all
around us, about copying what Nature seems to do very well. Think
spider silk stronger than steel! What is important for a world
rapidly depleting its resources, Biomimicry is about using nature's
"manufacturing ideas" to be more efficient with materials and energy.
An engineer, Onno Koelman of Pax Scientific, and a teacher of product
design, Sue Redding of CCA, present some elegantly practical
applications of Biomimicry.

PROGRAM

Onno Koelman is a design engineer at PAX Scientific and has seen the
company grow from its five original employees to over twenty-one
strong. Since the very beginning he has been fascinated by the PAX
story and the simplicity and elegance of natural design. He has had
the opportunity to work on numerous products during his tenure. In
this presentation he will review PAX's story from its earliest
beginnings,and bring the story up to date by following two industries
in which PAX is now poised to launch efficient, elegant, and cost-
effective solutions - all inspired by Nature.


Sue Redding is a Bay Area Designer and Associate Professor of
Industrial Design at California College of the Arts (CCA) in San
Francisco. At CCA, Sue teaches sustainable design to Graphic and
Industrial Designers. A former zookeeper, Sue developed a biology
curriculum called: "Applied Biology for Designers and Artists." In
this class designers are taught basic biological principles and how
to use nature as inspiration in art and design. Redding will present
Biomimicry examples and show how she presents the information to
students to help them draw the link between design and biology. Sue
will also show recent student and faculty work and show how the "New
Organic Design" is taking hold in the design world.

fashion yet again, as we reminisce about everything from The Brat
Pack to Atari. 80's films will be on the screen and alligators will
be in the aquarium to meet. Put up your collar at the bar - Miami
vice style or groove to the Soft, the Hard, the Rock, the Pop laid
down by 80's and Qool Ambassador: Marc Fong.

Totally Far Out for a Thursday!

80's outfits welcome - the most rad wear will be rewarded!

talk, slideshow & book signing for Desert to Dream
Friday, July 21st at 7 pm
at The Booksmith (1644 Haight Street in San Francisco)

Attended by 20 people on a San Francisco beach in 1986, the "Burning Man" festival has mushroomed into an annual desert pilgrimage for 40,000. Desert to Dream is a pictorial record of the event, from its beginnings as performance art to its explosion into a pop culture happening. Photographer Barbara Traub captures the sacred and profane, from inspired costumes to otherworldly artifacts that defy convention. Barbara Traub will give a talk and slideshow. A booksigning will follow.
