Monkeys Can Die from Bananas
"Contrary to the stereotype, bananas are not the preferred
food of monkeys in the wild. Bananas, especially those
containing pesticides can be upsetting to the monkeys'
delicate digestive system and cause serious dental problems
that can lead to eventual death." - sing in Costa Rica


When buying AUTO PARTS or other parts: try this line:
"can I get a price on a..."
then they give it to you.
And you say: "ok, thank you."
Indicating that you understand the price BUT you are not jumping on it or buying it.
In this way you are establishing you are not a sucker.
In the future when phoning any place,
Always use that line.
"can I get a price on a..."
That will tend to get you a lower price BECAUSE
that way you sound like a professional, and not a sucker.
They have a wide range of pricing they can quote you.
So depending on the place... It is best to appear to be IN THE KNOW.
TELL A FRIEND! This is so important!

6.30 pm Thursday, Oct. 18 Fed Up, Fowl + Pollen Nation + Islands at Risk (four short films) UCBerkely
Using hilarious and disturbing archival footage and featuring interviews with farmers, scientists, government officials, and activists Fed Up! presents an entertaining and informative overview of our current food production system from the Green Revolution to the Biotech Revolution and what we can do about it. Fed Up! explores the unintentional effects of pesticides, the resistance of biotechnology companies to food labeling, and the links between government officials and major biotechnology and chemical companies.
Fowl is a short documentary examining how chicken has become central to the revolution in how we produce our food. The film looks at how society has become disconnected from what we eat and how our food system has become dependent on fossil fuels.
Pollen Nation follows the journey of third generation beekeeper Jeff Anderson from the honey harvest on the High Plains to the warm winter-feeding grounds of California. It also explores the history of human interaction with bees, from ancient Egyptian beekeepers to professional bee brokers in the 21st century.

October 18: 9pm Crónicas (Part of our monthly Movies en Español series) FREE
Oscillating between furor and languor, rage and repose, Crónicas mixes ethnography with media critique, questioning the nature of truth in reportage, the media's power to effect (and affect) that truth, and the queasy complicity and mutual fascination between interviewer and subject. Inspired by a gruesome real-life trio of South American serial killers (among them Luis Alfredo Garavito, who shocked Colombia with the murders of about 140 children), Crónicas follows Miami tabloid TV correspondent Manolo Bonilla (John Leguizamo) and his crew (Leonor Watling and José Mar Yazpik) as they report on one such killer in Babahoyo, Ecuador, failing Journalistic Ethics 101 in the process. The film is aided a strong sense of place; sorrow's descent on Babahoyo feels as perpetual and all-consuming as the torrents of rain that drench the region, and the town itself—much of it suspended over water on ramshackle bamboo bridges—threatens to collapse from its own psychological detritus.

Palo Alto: On El Camino Real, between 3-5 pm, there will be a procession of vehicles-cars,
hybrids, electric vehicles, bicycles-traveling the length of the Peninsula,
starting from points north and south, to symbolize the unity of all of our
local communities in saying: Troops out now!

SUN OCT 21 11am Brunch with Charlie Brown
Dear Friends,
A couple of years ago we hosted a fundraiser in Palo Alto for Jerry McNerney and raised $8,000. That helped Jerry defeat Richard Pombo, one of the worst environmentalists in Congress.
We now have an opportunity to defeat another terrible Congressman -- John Doolittle from Auburn. Doolittle, a major proponent of the Auburn Dam and close friend of Jack Abramoff, is being challenged by a very good man named Charlie Brown. In the last election, Brown almost upset Doolittle, and next year has a very good chance of replacing him in Congress. But it will take resources, so your support is necessary.
Please join us this Sunday (Oct. 21) at 11am at the home of Alice Smith, 4284 Los Palos Circle in Palo Alto for a chance to meet Charlie Brown. This is one of the most important things you can do for our country and the planet! Please feel free to invite others.
I've attached the details. Many thanks. -Peter

Oct 21, 11am-6PM FREE Fiesta on the Hill is a Free street fair for Bernal Heights.
Neighbors come together to book great local music. This year they are presenting Sila and the Afrofunk Experience, Julio Bravo Y Su
Orquestra Salsabor, Two Tall Drinks, the Bernal All-Stars Brass
Mafia, Judea Eden Band, Amy Meyers Band, and more on two stages.
Fiesta has a small-town urban feel to it: Dancing in the streets to local

from many cultures, crafts and other street fair shopping, and a
charming bake sale from Bernal seniors to support local seniors'
programs. It adds up to a colorful down-home fiesta in old Bernaltown.
That's Sunday, October 21 on Cortland in Bernal Heights. It's Free, and it's also a fundraiser for the Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center's programs. So track down the benefit lottery ticket sales table if you want to support this Bernal tradition and the last SF Street Fair of the season. Cortland Avenue, Bernal Heights

October 25: 9pm The Wind That Shakes the Barley FREE MOVIE
Ireland, 1920. Damien and Teddy are brothers. But while the latter is already the leader of a guerrilla squad fighting for the independence of his motherland, Damien, a medical graduate of University College, would rather further his training at the London hospital where he has found a place. However, shortly before his departure, he happens to witness atrocities committed by the ferocious Black and Tans and finally decides to join the resistance group led by Teddy. The two brothers fight side by side until a truce is signed. But peace is short-lived and when one faction of the freedom-fighters accepts a treaty with the British that is regarded as unfair by the other faction, a civil war ensues, pitting Irishmen against Irishmen, brothers against brothers, Teddy against Damien... (2006)
Winner of the PALME D'OR at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival

Fri Oct 26 HALLOWEEN critical mass 6pm Justin Herman Plaza; Market @ Embarcadero SF
http://critical-mass.org Bring: bike, helmet, Headlamp, costume.
I sure would like to see the ride group together and remain a mass,
thereby minimizing impact on traffic and pissing off fewer motorists.
I would like them to block cross traffic JUST at the intersection ahead of the mass;
NOT 3 intersections ahead.
We could make room for cars to make right turns at corked intersections.
I think we should be visible and fun, and not upset or inconvenience people.

Mark your calendars. Jan L. showed this movie to a number of us back in June. It is excellent!

Important Anti-War Protests: This Wednesday AND October 27!
San Francisco: a massive die-in that is being planned now, and a post-march interactive “convergence” in Dolores Park.
On October 27 in 11 major U.S. cities, anti-war demonstrations will take to the streets
demanding: End The War/Bring the Troops Home NOW!
In Northern California, a large and broad anti-war coalition has joined forces so that together, organizations, unions, congregations, and many diverse communities can mobilize a large and powerful demonstration and rally. Two new events will be part of this October 27th in San Francisco: a massive die-in that is being planned now, and a post-march interactive “convergence” in Dolores Park.

End the War Now – Protest
SF Civic Center
11 Massive Demonstrations for Peace
Boston, Chicago, Jonesborough, Tenn., Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York City, Orlando, Philadelphia, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, and Seattle
The U.S. occupation of Iraq has led to 4000 American deaths and roughly 30,000 injuries. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have died and millions are homeless. Spending on the war thus far has been $457,984,243,792.
While most Americans oppose the war, there is no end in sight.
If we want the destruction and waste to stop, we have to take to the streets in protest in large numbers. This is the only way our elected officials will realize that their perpetuation of the war will end their political careers.
For this reason, a wide array of groups have come together to organize a series of major demonstrations this fall. One of these actions will be a protest and march in San Francisco on Saturday, October 27th. We'll start at the Civic Center at 11am and later march to Dolores Park.
Join us, tell your friends to join us, volunteer as an organizer and donate to our effort to show Bush, Cheney, Pelosi and Feinstein that northern California is fed up with the war and won't tolerate any more excuses. No more surges, no more study groups: BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW!

National Mobilization to End the War in Iraq, Saturday, October 27, 2007, 11 am Civic Center, San Francisco,
March to Dolores Park
The Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance will have a contingent in the march and table at the Civic Center and Dolores Park. We will rally under the Deception Dollar banner at the Civic Center. Please contact Carol-cbrouillet [at] igc.org to commit to helping at either table or in the contingent. We also need folks to help put together and pass out signs.

OCT 27 -- A “DIE-IN”
there WILL BE an art/photo/lie-down-amongst-strangers opportunity
that day. A.N.S.W.E.R. is organizing a mass ‘die-in’ as the march leaves
the Civic Center and heads west on Market Street. On the incline between
Valencia and Duboce streets, marchers will lie down across Market Street by
the thousands. If you’re there, you can probably spot yourself in the news
that night or the next day.

Join CODEPINK on October 27th in San Francisco Saturday, October 27, 2007
Civic Center Plaza Polk Street between McAllister and Grove SF, CA 94102
People everywhere want the war to end, but Washington has failed to take decisive action. With each passing month, nearly 100 service-people and countless more Iraqis are killed, some 12 billion of our tax dollars are spent, and the death and destruction continue. Our communities - from New Orleans to Minneapolis - are neglected and suffer the consequences. From Boston to San Francisco, from New York to New Orleans, on October 27th the people will speak: We want this war to end, and we want it to end now!

Our goal for the 11 regional peace demonstrations is to focus national attention on the urgency of ending the war and to highlight the impact of war spending on domestic needs.

Experience the power of sacred sexuality in this hands-on, clothes-off workshop.
This 2.5 hour workshop will focus on the male as receiver. Men must attend with a partner. This workshop welcomes givers of any sex.
We will practice a series of conscious breathwork techniques and Taoist erotic massage, which can lead to extended, full-body orgasm and an altered mind-state conducive to spiritual insights.
Honestly, if you're looking to get off, this isn't for you. This is a spiritual, erotic, non-ejaculatory practice that stimulates and spreads erotic energy throughout the body. It is very hot, but it isn't sex as you normally think of it.
After the introduction and demonstration, we will practice the breathwork, and you will be guided through a series of different genital massage strokes. Participants will then have an opportunity to give or receive a 40 minute massage with integrated breathwork and coaching.
There is no sexual interaction between the giver and receiver except for the massage itself, and all boundaries will be respected.

7:30 pm Tuesday, Oct. 3O SNEAK PEAK of King Corn UCBerkely
Don’t miss one of the year’s most important and entertaining films! With all the talk surrounding Michael Pollan’s newly infamous The Omnivore’s Dilemma, this movie has come at the perfect time! It’s the smarter, hipper Super Size Me for a hopeful new age in which people have realized that our current state of agriculture is in big trouble.
King Corn is a feature documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized crop that drives our fast-food nation. In King Corn, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the east coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, nitrogen fertilizers, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America’s most-productive, most subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises troubling questions about how we eat – and how we farm.
With panelists: Michael Pollan (author, The Omnivore’s Dilemma, The Botany of Desire), Aaron Woolf (film maker), Ian Cheney +Curtis Ellis (film stars).
Discussion theme: Corn, farm subsidies, rural communities and the Food Bill.
Screening at the Hillside Club 2286 Cedar Street in Berkeley. This film will open at the Shattuck theater on November 2nd.

Eugene Debs, Josef Stalin, Melians

"They have always taught and trained you to believe it to be your patriotic duty to go to war and to have yourselves slaughtered at their command. But in all the history of the world you, the people, have never had a voice in declaring war, and strange as it certainly appears, no war by any nation in any age has ever been declared by the people."
-- Eugene Debs
Socialist candidate for president, June 16, 1918
The speech led to Debs's being stripped of his citizenship and sent to jail for 10 years.

"The voice of protest, of warning, of appeal is never more needed than
when the clamor of fife and drum, echoed by the press and too often by
the pulpit, is bidding all men fall in and keep step and obey in silence
the tyrannous word of command. Then, more than ever, it is the duty of
the good citizen not to be silent."

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.

6.30 pm Thursday, Oct. 11 Our Daily Bread + We Feed the World
Screening at the Hillside Club 2286 Cedar Street in Berkeley
Welcome to the world of industrial food production and high-tech farming! To the rhythm of conveyor belts and immense machines, the film looks without commenting into the places where food is produced in Europe: monumental spaces, surreal landscapes and bizarre sounds – a cool, industrial environment which leaves little space for individualism. People, animals, crops and machines play a supporting role in the logistics of this system which provides our society’s standard of living.
Our Daily Bread is a wide-screen tableau of a feast which isn’t always easy to digest – and in which we all take part. A pure, meticulous and high-end film experience that enables the audience to form their own ideas.
We Feed the World is a film about food and globalization, fishermen and farmers, long-distance lorry drivers and high-powered corporate executives, the flow of goods and cash flow–a film about scarcity amid plenty. With its unforgettable images, the film provides insight into the production of our food and answers the question of what world hunger has to do with us.
With San Fransico area breadbakers: Steve Sullivan (founder Acme Breads); Julie Cummins (CUESA); Phoenix Pastaficio; and Eduardo Morell (Morell’s bread)

October 11: Juvies
This documentary explores the juvenile criminal-justice system, and the increasingly controversial practice of sending youth offenders through the adult system. Focusing on a group of twelve young offenders chosen randomly to participate in a video-production workshop at Eastlake Central Juvenile Hall in Los Angeles (where they await trials as adults), the film compares their crimes and sentences, explores their feelings about the experience of juvenile hall vs. adult prison, and examines the medi
