all Ocean Beach fires banned! (SF)
http://www.craigslist.org/sfc/com/139970897.html
Unless the Golden Gate National Recreation Area suddenly finds a lost cabinet full of cash to hire extra Rangers or finds a community group willing to help out with cleanup and wood sales, all beach fires will be banned starting this spring.
Neighbors have complained about fires left smoldering, treated wood being burnt, wood with nails in it left behind, and even some fire goers taking their porch furniture to burn.
A few bad apples have ruined one of the best night time treats in this city.
That sucks.



Strong Sunspot Cycle Is Forecast - likely to reach its peak about 2012
http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/asection/la-sci-solar7mar07,1,1174281.story?ctrack=1&cset=true
By Thomas H. Maugh II, Times Staff Writer March 7, 2006
 
EXCERPTS :
The next sunspot cycle will be a year late and as much as 50% stronger than the last one, according to a forecast released Monday by scientists from NASA and the National Science Foundation.

Such predictions are vital because the solar storms associated with the sunspots not only endanger humans in space, but can slow satellites in orbit, disrupt communications, interfere with Global Positioning Systems and bring down power grids.


The most recent cycle, which peaked in 2001, was relatively weak with few significant disruptions reported. A major solar storm associated with the sunspot cycle on March 13, 1989, brought down the power grid in Quebec, darkening much of the Canadian province for nine hours.

The latest forecast was made using a sophisticated computer program developed by solar scientist Mausumi Dikpati of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo, and her colleagues.

They predict that the next sunspot cycle, called cycle 24, will begin in late 2007 or early 2008 and will produce sunspots across an area slightly larger than 2.5% of the sun's surface.

The cycle is likely to reach its peak about 2012.

There is a crisis today in the world’s oceans. Whales, dolphins and other sea life are threatened by extremely loud noises caused by military, industrial, and commercial operations.
Active sonar and "airgun" blasting can maim and kill with underwater noises that are millions of times more intense than whales, fish or human divers can withstand.
Seaflow is a growing community of concerned citizens who are dedicated to protecting the living oceans of our planet. We work locally, nationally and internationally to raise awareness and promote public participation.
Join us in our mission to stop harmful underwater noises that threaten the web of life.

A spate of different opinion polls within the last few months or so has revealed that on almost every major issue the people of the United States and the people of Britain, in the majority are directly opposed to the actions of their governments.

# Vigil Against John Yoo, Author of Bush's Torture Memos

On sidewalk outside Boalt Hall
at 2000 Center St in Berkeley.
Thursday March 09, 2006 4:30PM-5:30PM
(every Thursday)
Take a Stand, Oppose Bush's Lackey

Vigil against War Criminal John Yoo, the law professor
who crafted legal justification giving Bush a free hand
to order the torture of those he has declared ;illegal
combatants? Help leaflet, hear speakers and engage
students and faculty. Vigils will continue until end of
school year and resume in fall if Yoo is still teaching
there.

The following quotes by Yoo are from New Yorker
magazine ( Outsourcing Torture by Jane Mayer):

"There is a category of behavior not covered by the
legal system ...If you were an illegal combatant, you
didn't deserve the protection of the laws of war..."

"Congress has no power to "tie the President's hands
in regard to torture as an interrogation technique."
"It's the core of the Commander-in-Chief function."

"They can't prevent the President from ordering
torture."

DOGS SNIFFING IN MARIN CITY SCHOOL
"WITHOUT A WARRANT"
DEMONSTRATION MEETING
SAUSALITO/MARIN CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFICE
630 NEVADA ST. SAUSALITO
Bring placards to the meeting for one hour :
"no dogs on MLK school campus for drug sniffing"
"JUSTICE NOT DOGS"
"do not criminalize our children"
phone contact 883.1757 - Ricardo, 388.2821 Barbara - Emily,
339.9196 - Juanita and Sharon
The children at the Marin City Middle School have been invaded with "drug sniffing dogs". The students feel that it is a violation of their civil rights since there is no "probable cause" identified to warrant this action.
They need our help to convince the District School Board to call off this action. The board thus far scheduled three more visits and will not listen to the appeal for justice.
Directions: From 101 Sausalito exit to Bridgeway south to Nevada St. which is one block past Kinko on the left. Turn right on Nevada for one block. Watch for signs to the District which will be the first building on Nevada St at 6:30.

Worldwide protests, riots, and threats aimed at Denmark and its citizens have taken place ever since the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten printed cartoons featuring the Islamic prophet Muhammed.

In response to this unprecedented assault on the right to free speech, rallies supporting Denmark have occurred in Washington D.C. and New York. Others are planned for Chicago, London, Toronto, Montreal and Sydney.

In addition, there will be a "Rally to Support Denmark and Free Speech" outside the Danish Consulate in San Francisco:

When: Friday, March 10, between noon and 1pm.
Where: Danish Consulate - One California Street (Suite 330) - San Francisco
Why: To support Denmark and free speech for all.
Bring: Danish and American flags, Danish products, pro-Denmark and free speech signs. Examples here:

Don't Bring: Bullhorns or amplification equipment, offensive signs or T-shirts. Let's keep it respectful.

Featuring yummy treats, dancing, entertainment, live

All proceeds will benefit The Conexus Cathedral
Project* , a project of Conexus Village, which comes
together to create, not
only a joint community comprised of several SF-based
tribes, but also a
structure/art installation on the playa that reflects
hope, inspiration, and beauty.
The Conexus Cathedral Project aspires to inspire all
BRC residents to participate and interact with it – to
generate ritual, ceremony, and art; to dance,
celebrate, and surrender; to experience joy and
spirit, fun and silliness. By day, The Cathedral is a
place of simplicity and seemliness, creating
sanctuary and refuge for the BRC community. By night,
The Cathedral glows on the playa with color, magic,
and glamour – attracting BRC citizens to play,
celebrate, and explore feelings the structure might
inspire. To learn more about our vision, see

# Sat, Mar 11, 2006 - Sun, Mar 12, 2006      
  
Attila the Stockbroker & David Rovics - US West Coast Tour 2006
AK Press Warehouse & The Edinburgh Castle Pub
Oakland & San Francisco

Attila the Stockbroker and David Rovics are the real voice of the opposition!
Hard-hitting poetry and song, raging against the policies of Bush and Blair,
and the corporations which pull their strings.

Saturday, March 11th, 7 pm
AK Press Warehouse, 674A 23rd St., Oakland.
Other acts include Folk This! and Riot Folk artists Ryan Harvey and Mark Gunnery.

Sunday, March 12th, 8 pm
The Edinburgh Castle Pub upstairs, 950 Geary St., San Francisco.

David Rovics is from Massachusetts, but he is permanently on tour – in the US, the UK, mainland Europe, and recently in the occupied territories in Palestine. He sings at political rallies and demonstrations, and his songs are often heard on ‘Democracy Now’ in the US and Andy Kershaw’s national BBC folk music radio show in the UK.

Attila the Stockbroker is from Brighton, England and he has just celebrated 25 years traveling the world earning his living as a punk rock poet, political satirist and hard-edged songwriter. Imagine a hyperactive mix of The Clash, Jello Biafra and Monty Python! Attila’s themes are topical, his words hard-hitting, his politics unashamedly radical, but he will make you roar with laughter as well as seethe with anger.

The END of SUBURBIA
Suburbia, and all it promises, has become the American Dream. But as we enter the 21st century, serious questions are beginning to emerge about the sustainability of this way of life.

Sea Shepherd Action Alert: International Day of Action for the Seals on March 15th!

Join Us for a Worldwide Protest
Against the Canadian Slaughter of Seals
On March 15th, 2006, All Over the World!
To shine the international spotlight of shame on Canada, Sea Shepherd is coordinating an International Day of Action for the Seals to protest the Canadian harp seal slaughter on March 15th, 2006 (the traditional first day of the hunt). Protests are being held at Canadian embassies and consulates and other locations around the world (listed below).
 
We have a number of protests already planned and encourage you, your family, and friends to participate and show your support for the seals.  Captain Watson will be attending the protest in Los Angeles and the Sea Shepherd staff will be attending the protest in Seattle.
 
If you would like to coordinate a protest in a city that is not already listed, please email Connie at connie [at] seashepherd.org and she can help by providing you with banners, signs, and flyers and we will help to encourage individuals to attend your protest.
 
Spring is a time of birth and renewal. With your help, we will continue to seek an end to the slaughter of seals, so that the newborns can enjoy a full, natural life – free and wild. And with your support and active participation, together we can raise the public’s awareness of this issue which is the first step in affecting change.

Please see the list below for a city near you and the contact information of the Protest Leader in that location. 

If you have any questions please contact Sea Shepherd's Volunteer Coordinators:

# Saturday, March 18, 11 a.m. Mass March and Rally to Stop The War on Iraq
Civic Center, at Grove and Larkin Streets, SAN FRANCISCO (nr Civic Center BART)
Stop the War on Iraq! Bring the Troops Home Now!
End Colonial Occupation from Iraq to Palestine to Haiti…
From Iraq to New Orleans, Fund People’s Needs Not the War Machine!
On Saturday, March 18 at 11 a.m., thousands of people will gather at Civic Center in San Francisco for a mass march and rally against the war on Iraq. Two days later on March 20, youth and students will organize a day of campus resistance to imperialist war and military recruiters across San Francisco and around the nation.
The March 18 weekend is the 3rd anniversary of the criminal U.S. "shock and awe" invasion of Iraq, in which more than 100,000 Iraqis and 2,200 U.S. troops have died. The U.S. continues to occupy Iraq at great cost to Iraqis and people in the U.S. Much of Iraq—devastated by the U.S.-led occupation and, before that, more than a decade of genocidal sanctions—lacks running water and electricity. Despite being bogged down in Iraq, the warmakers in Washington are pushing ahead with their agenda of regime change in Syria, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela and elsewhere.

# MARCH 18, 1pm to 3pm
CALIFORNIA CITIZENS' ASSEMBLY EVENT
MARIN RANKED VOTING
SPECIAL GUEST: Gordon Gibson, architect of the British Columbia's Citizens' Assembly process.
You're invited to my electoral reform houseparty at 74 Corte Real in Greenbrae on March 18. As you know, I am concerned about how well our democracy is working, and want to do my part to make it better. We especially need to build awareness of what's wrong with our current systems and what we could do to improve them. We also need to get more people involved in the movement for electoral reform.
At this party will learn about an exciting new way to bring about reforms in the way we elect our legislature and state-wide officials. A Citizens' Assembly brings together ordinary citizens to study and evaluate proposals for change; proposals they adopt are then put on the ballot like an initiative. We'll have materials people can take home, a chance to watch a short informative video/demonstration, and will talk to Gordon Gibson, a leading expert on the Citizens' Assembly process on a conference call. It will be fun as well. This site http://www.partyhostcenter.com/fullrepresentation gives you all the details + you can RSVP by clicking on the button saying “attend party.” Or call (415) 256-9393 and leave a message to RSVP.
I hope you can join us - it's a fun way to make a difference. Not sure if you can come? Choose "maybe" on the RSVP page. That will help me plan the party. Thanks! Bob Richard

Celebrating 4 years of parties with purpose: Infuse: 4 Everyone.

The party:

Infuse was born from a desire to fuse the values of the intentional parties of the underground, with the talent and production assets of the overground. It was also designed to be a party infused with consciousness, in which the gathering is a vehicle to build community, plant seeds of hope and social change, and nudge us to look inward to grow and challenge our own pain and fear that prevents us from fully living. So it shall be.

To celebrate 4 years of this effort Opel pulls out all the stops featuring cutting edge breaks from 2 of the biggest producers in the scene, a special fashion show featuring eco-conscious designers, urban hip, and playa specialities, and performances throughout the night.

The Music: w/ 2 very special guests:

# Sunday, 3/19, 9:30--5:30 pm -- Become an Extraordinary Lover - For
Men Who Love Women

There is nothing more arousing than watching a woman you are making
love to writhe and moan with delight. However, there are very few
places to get practical, explicit, and straightforward advice about
what turns women on. In this hands-on, one-day workshop, Dr.
Danielle Harel joins with Celeste Hirschman, MA to teach you
everything from the arts of romance and seduction to advanced
pleasure techniques. They will teach you to read women's non-verbal
cues, to elicit information about her secret sexual desires, and to
keep her coming back for more. You will have the opportunity to
practice different kinds of touch on a woman, gauge her responses
and receive helpful feedback. The facilitators will cover how to
give pleasure during a sexual encounter and explore special oral
and anal techniques.

Sunday, March 19th, 9:30am to 5:30pm, at the Center for Sex and
Culture, 398 11th St. For more information or to register email

# 2006-03-19 3:00 PM Sacred Art of Female Ejaculation
Workshop for women with LIVE DEMONSTRATION and practice session.

In the sacred container of a women's circle, learn about the infinite potential of your sexual lotus.

Female ejaculation is a deep, rejuvenating, healthy release, which can be encouraged by skilled G-spot stimulation, elements of tantric yoga, heart opening, and orgasm. In this explicit workshop you will practice tapping into the delicious surrender inherent in the release of amrita, your sacred feminine waters. Set in an open, loving, and safe environment, you will be guided on a luscious journey that will help you feel even more at home in your body and comfortable with your sexuality, and therefore more open to experiencing deeper and wilder pleasure. Whether you have experienced ejaculation before or not, this class will assist you in fully mastering the art of female ejaculation.

Please bring: a hand mirror, a sheet, two towels, a favorite vibrator or G-Spot toy (optional), and an item for the altar.

Led by Tallulah Sulis and Diana Soline.

When: March 19, Sunday, 1:30-5:30pm
Where: 4920 Telegraph Ave. in Oakland
Cost: $120 at the door, $95 pre-paid

# End torture, indefinite detention & war - March 20th, 7am Mongomery BART
2006-03-20 7:00 AM Location: Montgomery BART Friends and fellow-activists,

Act Against Torture's "visual takeover" of the Montomery & Market Street intersection - outside U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein's San Francisco office - will unfold at 7am on Monday March 20th, the third anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

We're pretty sure that you'll want to be part of it.

Much more than a march, not just another rally, we'll be using dramatic props - banners, giant puppets, cages, Gitmo-like orange jumpsuits, hoods, symbolic coffins, the Brass Liberation Orchestra, recorded testimonials given by detainees who have been released, and much more - to call on each and all (including Senator Feinstein) to take action and responsiblity for ending the U.S. government's ongoing practices of torture and indefinite detention in pursuit of its endless so-called "war on terror."

With a boost of energy and many additional hands coming out of our first public organizing meeting, we're preparing this week for an art & prop-making extravaganza on Sunday afternoon, March 12th. We've reserved a great space and we'll have a lot of materials, so an enthusiastic turnout is the crucial ingredient needed to make our plans happen. See below for time & location...

Mongomery & Market (Mongomergy Street BART) is the place to be at 7am on Monday, March 20th. Put it on your calendar today and avoid that sinking, wish-I'd-been-there feeling when you watch the evening's news & read the next morning's papers...

Details on times & places follow, below ... along with a little context for those who didn't read through to the end of our last e-mail.

Please join us for the art party on the 12th, and we'll see you outside Senator Feinstein's office on the morning of March 20th!
