Sign the Freedom from the Draft & Illegal War Petition:
http://www.PetitionOnline.com/fftdaiwp/petition.html
"No American - not enlisted, not drafted - should be required to fight
for an illegal war.
I am concerned that George Bush will keep expanding his wars. I join
with other Americans who are concerned that this will lead to the
expansion of the poverty draft and the creation of a new youth draft.
I support freedom from illegal war. I support freedom from the draft.
I call on all Americans of conscience to take a stand against the
draft. It’s time to stop the draft before it starts."

German scientist to draw biospheric map of North Iran forests
http://www.mehrnews.ir/en/NewsDetail.aspx?NewsID=156320

TEHRAN, Feb. 8 –- An official in the Natural Resources Department of
Western Mazandaran said that a map would soon be drawn to show the
biosphere of some parts of the forest area of the northern provinces.

Eskandar Rezaii added that the German Professor Hans Dieter Knapp
arrived in Tonekabon Tuesday to provide the map upon the biospheric
features of the regional forests. Prof. Knapp, who is director of the
International Academy for Nature Conservation in Island of Vilm, Rugen,
has traveled to Iran in line with bilateral cooperation in the field of
natural resources protection.

Iranian and German scientists have earlier prepared a similar map of the
forest areas of Eastern Gilan, Noshahr and Gorgan. The map totally
covered 250,000 hectares of land in the northern provinces including
Gilan, Mazandaran and Golestan.

The plan is hoped to encourage interactions between man and nature while
preventing incongruous extension of forest lands. “It will also create
numerous jobs for the inhabitants and, thus, they’ll be assured they are
respected,” Rezaii said.

In addition, Mr. Knapp suggested that such works will help tourism
promotion in the region. The woodlands of northern Iran, covering some
1.8 million hectares of land, are greatly noticed by international
nature scientists because of their rich variety of certain forest trees.

# NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR at Santa Cruz Guerilla Drive-In
Friday, February 11 8:00 PM
1205 Soquel Avenue Santa Cruz 95062
http://www.thespoon.com/drivein
See you on Friday at Next Door, our delicious, warm and cozy indoor Guerilla Drive-In location. Bring yoself and at least two friends...
Santa Cruz Guerilla Drive-In Presents
Nineteen Eighty-Four
The fine and stunning screen adaptation of George Orwell's prophetic 1948 novel about a world in which the government completely controls the masses by controlling their thoughts, altering history and even changing the meaning of language to suit its needs. Winston Smith tries to discover love in an upside down world of never-ending war, criminalized dissent, pervasive disinformation, paranoia, and surveillance. If you see this film, and think Thank God, it isn't that bad here yet, you're missing the point.
John Ashcroft, Donald Rumsfeld, and Dick Cheney would rather you didn't understand all the ramifications of this film.
Friday February 11th, 8:00pm
Next Door, right next to the Rio Theater
1205 Soquel Avenue in Santa Cruz
BRING blankets, pillows, friends, wine, & food to share for intermission. Donations are greatly appreciated and directly support the project and the Revolutionary Garden Society who sponsors Guerilla Drive-In. (We are currently saving to get a spare projector bulb.)
SANTA CRUZ GUERILLA DRIVE-IN is exactly what it sounds like -- an outdoor movie theatre under the stars that springs up unexpectedly in the fields and industrial wastelands. Guerilla Drive-In is helping reclaim public space and transform our urban environment into the joyful playground it should be.
SUBURBAN WASTELAND LOCATION: S on Hwy 17 to Ocean St., L on Soquel Ave, up to the Rio Theater at 1205 Soquel. Next Door is next door to the theater.

# 2/12: Celebrate Adopt a Rabbit Month with the Bunnies this Saturday! (richmond / point / annex)
House Rabbit Society is hosting a special Valentine Bunny Event on
February 12th, from 12:00 to 4:00 at the Richmond Shelter.
Has your bunny been lonely because he has lost a companion or does he or she just need a friend? Don't put his happiness on hold any longer! Bring him or her by the shelter to meet our adorable bunnies. Volunteers will be on hand to work with you and your bunny to find the perfect mate. We request an appointment for the matchmaking sessions, so call early. There is no fee. Of course, if it is you who are looking for a loving companion rabbit, you too are welcome and do not need to make an appointment.
Ken Mark will be again taking beautiful bunny photo portraits with a heart-motif background. If you missed our November holiday photo shoot, you'll definitely want to be here for this. A modest donation will be charged.
Last, but not least, there will be a very "heart-y" Valentine vegan luncheon featuring a cream of tomato and vegetable soup, a green salad mixed with heart-shaped red peppers, daikon radish and other vegetables, whole wheat herb rolls and a yummy chocolate cake with raspberry cream frosting. The lunch will be available from 12:00 to 3:00, and take out is again an option. The cost for the luncheon is $11.00, and reservations are required.
To reserve time for a bunny matchmaking session or to make a reservation for the luncheon, please call the shelter at 510 970-7575. Staff will confirm your appointment time and/or luncheon reservation.

# Third Annual International Quirkyalone Day Party
2/12/05 8 pm = 1 am $5-$20 sliding scale
Come help celebrate a growing international movement that reclaims Valentine's Day for those of us who relish solitude, close friendships, freedom, and creativity, and who judge our lives by the amount of passion in them rather than by whether we're single or not.
International Quirkyalone Day (IQD) is a growing movement of people who are reclaiming Valentine's Day and making it a fun, inclusive, do-it-yourself holiday. Unlike the anti-Valentine's movement, Quirkyalone is a positive declaration-a feel-good alternative to the marketing barrage of Valentine's Day and an antidote to the silicone version of love presented in shows such as Joe Millionaire and The Bachelorette. IQD is a celebration of individuality, romance, friendship, and self-respect on Feb 14.
The flagship party will be held in San Francisco, the epicenter of the Quirkyalone movement. Last year 350 people attended, and we're expecting a similarly successful event this year. International Quirkyalone Day is officially february 14, but we will be celebrating on February 12, this year.
Party highlights:
-Quirkycrafts (make your own quirkyalone journal)
- Party games
- Late-night dance party with songs inspired by the quirkyalone movement
- Quirkyalone Love Connection Game
- Power Point presentation announcing the nominees and winners of the first annual Quirkys (awards of the quirkyalone community). Awards will be given for, among other things, Best Quirkyalone Movie, Song, and Book of 2004, the Most Offensively Unquirkyalone Reality Show, and the Most Unquirkyalone Celebrity Couple.
- World premiere screening of a short movie on International Quirkyalone Day
- Raffle ticket included with price of admission-prizes include quirkyalone t-shirts (girl and boy styles), bumper sticker, and trucker hat.
-Signed copies of QuirkyAlone for sale by Valencia Street Books
