Less meat means less heat
It's a slogan that leading scientists hope will catch on worldwide, part
of a call for people to reduce consumption of meat and dairy products to
slow the pace of climate change.
Writing in the medical journal /The Lancet/, a team of international
health experts led by Tony McMichael warns that the world's growing
appetite for meat is increasing greenhouse gas emissions, as vast areas
of rainforest are bulldozed for grazing land and as more sheep and cattle burp....

HELP PREVENT FARM ANIMAL CRUELTY IN CALIFORNIA !
CAMPAIGN KICK OFF & SIGNATURE GATHERING RALLY
The SF/SPCA is hosting the San Francisco campaign kick
off and signature gathering rally on Tuesday, October

cruelty to farm animals in California ! Please join
us in Multi Purpose Room A, enter at 243 Alabama St
@ 16th St SF . Between Potrero and Harrison.
We need your immediate help to put a measure
on the 2008 ballot that would outlaw the cruel
confinement of veal calves, egg-laying hens, and
breeding pigs. This important measure will phase out
the use of the gestation crate for pigs, the battery
cage for egg-laying hens and prevent the use of the
“veal crate” for male calves.
WE NEED YOUR HELP to collect 650,000 signatures in
five short months to qualify this initiative for the
November 2008 ballot! Become a crucial member of the
team of volunteers that will put this
precedent-setting measure on the ballot! Come hear
about the campaign and how YOU can get involved in
this amazing effort for farm animals!

[SF-10/05] Entheocentric Salon w/ Alex Grey @ Temple SF 8PM-4am
Location: Temple 540 Howard More Info: 347 733 4317 (between 1st and 2nd St.)
An ongoing event for almost 2 years, the Entheocentric Salon - a series of monthly events at CoSM (Alex Grey’s Chapel of the Sacred Mirrors) comes to SF to rally local communities around Visionary Culture. Inspired by the Seventeenth Century French art salons, we incorporated discussion, dance performance and multiple live painters into an all night electronic music party model. Starting the evening with a visionary lecture, gives the events depth with the creative energy from all the artists, sending a wave of cultural satisfaction throughout the party.
The first west coast Entheocentric Salon, the beginning of our new monthly series, hosts Alex and Allyson Grey for a Lecture on AnthropoCoSM: “It is through a human lens that we understand our world. Alex Grey has developed unique yet universal symbolism that points to a realm of infinitely interconnected beings. Grey will review the history of AnthropoCoSMic sacred art and architecture and share his most recent visions of CoSM, the Chapel of the Sacred Mirrors. Intending to have a comfortable environment we are limiting the attendance of this lecture to 150 people.
Later, at Temple, we will move the event into a very special club environment - decorated with ancient statues, a temple built using the latest technologies to create an eco-conscious venue – Temple SF is changing the club standard. Alex and Allyson Grey will be painting live, while artists of different genres, performers and other visual talents will be performing through the 3 rooms of the club.

According to a study by Simon Smith, more than 800 items were registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office as sex toys between 1840 and 1997. Among them was a condom with a built-in computer chip that can play music. Progress?
From the depiction of a vulva in a cave painting to the newest internet porno, technology and sexuality have always been closely linked. No one can predict what the future will bring, but history indicates that sex will continue to play an essential role in technological development.

Less meat means less heat
It's a slogan that leading scientists hope will catch on worldwide, part
of a call for people to reduce consumption of meat and dairy products to
slow the pace of climate change.
Writing in the medical journal /The Lancet/, a team of international
health experts led by Tony McMichael warns that the world's growing
appetite for meat is increasing greenhouse gas emissions, as vast areas
of rainforest are bulldozed for grazing land and as more sheep and cattle burp....

CAMPAIGN KICK OFF & SIGNATURE GATHERING RALLY
The SF/SPCA is hosting the San Francisco campaign kick
off and signature gathering rally on Tuesday, October

cruelty to farm animals in California ! Please join
us in Multi Purpose Room A, enter at 243 Alabama St
@ 16th St SF . Between Potrero and Harrison.
We need your immediate help to put a measure
on the 2008 ballot that would outlaw the cruel

breeding pigs. This important measure will phase out
the use of the gestation crate for pigs, the battery
cage for egg-laying hens and prevent the use of the
“veal crate” for male calves.
WE NEED YOUR HELP to collect 650,000 signatures in
five short months to qualify this initiative for the
November 2008 ballot! Become a crucial member of the
team of volunteers that will put this
precedent-setting measure on the ballot! Come hear

this amazing effort for farm animals!

[SF-10/05] Entheocentric Salon w/ Alex Grey @ Temple SF 8PM-4am
Location: Temple 540 Howard More Info: 347 733 4317 (between 1st and 2nd St.)
An ongoing event for almost 2 years, the Entheocentric Salon - a series of monthly events at CoSM (Alex Grey’s Chapel of the Sacred Mirrors) comes to SF to rally local communities around Visionary Culture. Inspired by the Seventeenth Century French art salons, we incorporated discussion, dance performance and multiple live painters into an all night electronic music party model. Starting the evening with a visionary lecture, gives the events depth with the creative energy from all the artists, sending a wave of cultural satisfaction throughout the party.
The first west coast Entheocentric Salon, the beginning of our new monthly series, hosts Alex and Allyson Grey for a Lecture on AnthropoCoSM: “It is through a human lens that we understand our world. Alex Grey has developed unique yet universal symbolism that points to a realm of infinitely interconnected beings. Grey will review the history of AnthropoCoSMic sacred art and architecture and share his most recent visions of CoSM, the Chapel of the Sacred Mirrors. Intending to have a comfortable environment we are limiting the attendance of this lecture to 150 people.
Later, at Temple, we will move the event into a very special club environment - decorated with ancient statues, a temple built using the latest technologies to create an eco-conscious venue – Temple SF is changing the club standard. Alex and Allyson Grey will be painting live, while artists of different genres, performers and other visual talents will be performing through the 3 rooms of the club.

From the depiction of a vulva in a cave painting to the newest internet porno, technology and sexuality have always been closely linked. No one can predict what the future will bring, but history indicates that sex will continue to play an essential role in technological development.

Harbin Hot Springs, Oct 11, Unconditional Dance AND JILIAN LoVE's Bday bash http://harbin.org
You'll move to the polyrhythmic, expertly mixed flow of sounds from downtempo to uptempo -- a huge cross-genre mix of deep grooves, funky beats and cutting edge remixes, with a spicy global imprint. Soak in deep waves of bass, as ultra clean sound floats you into your bliss. A meticulously tuned surround-sound system, subtle lighting effects, and special guest DJs create the soundtrack for an ecstatic community gathering.
There is no cover charge for Harbin guests. But Thursday night Unconditional Dance -- like a night blooming flower -- is short and sweet. It begins at 8:00 and winds down by 10:00 to 10:30 pm. So arrive early, dance your heart out, and then retreat to the sauna to cool off afterward.

Please foster Kittens for you local SPCA.
Help raise kittens until they are 8 weeks old or 2 lbs and can be put up for adoption.
It is important that they have humans for socialization and play! (lucky you)
http://www.sfspca.org/foster/index.shtml
this is the sweetest and most fun way to bring extra love into your life,
and into the kittens' lives. This program is FREE:
You attend their kitten foster program so you know how...
And then when they have a litter of kittens for you,
they send you home with kittens and all the cat food you need.
