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, andpowerful 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 rais ...

Redwood Gardens 2951 Derby St. Berkeley http://www.globalexchange.org/getInvolved/bayarea.php
Sunday, August 30th 6:00p.m. Emergency Round Table on DRONES Redwood Gardens, 2951 Derby St, Berkeley "GROUND the DRONES" on the Round Table Sunday! In 2001 when we invaded Afghanistan, our military had around 100 drones; in January of 2009, when Obama took office, we had about 7000; today we have 12,000. Drones are unmanned planes remotely operated by soldiers behind a computer console in Creech, Nevada (and other U.S. locations), to spy on people around the world and to kill them. For every one "bad guy" assassinated by drones, 50 civilians are also murdered. Help turn up the heat against these horrific assassins our military is using to murder people around the world without directly risking U.S. life, and with little if any legal let alone moral justification for these Drone assassinations. Come to this Round Table discussion and strategizing: from education to action, help strategize what we will do about this rapidly growing force of unmanned planes armed with horrific weapons. To RSVP or for more info call 510-540-7007. SAVE the DATE: September 25-30th, Encampment and Action at CREECH AFB, Indian Springs Nevada

2009 BLACK ROCK CITY PLAN
We received a great deal of feedback critical of the expanded size of the
2008 city, so it's "deja vu all over again" as we return to nearly the same,
smaller footprint of 2007, in the same BLM-mandated location of the Black
Rock Desert. The distance from the inner-most road to the Man is down from
2700 to just 2100 feet, so a hop, skip, and a jump should get you from theme
camp Esplanade frontage to the Man.

near our event is currently a shadow of it's former self, due to a

Amaya's experience reminded me this...
A buddy of mine (let's call him Rick) tells this funny story about him being in the Army in the 1970's. He was a smoker, and kept his ample supply in his room. One day, the army police showed up with a dog. Rick had done his homework, and he has a permanent chip on his shoulder against any authority figures. He tossed a tennis ball up in the air and bounced it off of the floor. The well-trained dog couldn't keep its eyes off of it, and barked at it. He let the ball fall to the ground, and the dog chased after it and barked at it some more. The dog trainer said "bad dog", and tried to steer the dog away, but it kept on paying too much attention to the ball. A few days prior, Rick had rubbed his supply all over the tennis ball. Of course the dog was going after it! Frustrated by his disobedient dog, the trainer finally removed the ball from the room.
The dog then started sniffing around the carpeting, making a bee-line for the corner. Once it got there, it yelped, and ran away. The trainer ordered the dog to continue. The dog goes back to the same corner, and yelps again, and runs away. A few days prior, Rick had rubbed his supply into that part of the carpeting, vacuumed up the crumbs, and had then sprinkled cayenne pepper on top of it.
The investigation was called off, and Rick was free to go.
He also told a story about putting his supply inside blocks of ground beef, or inside tupperware containers filled with homemade pasta sauce, then stuffing those into the freezer, until they were frozen solid.
I don't know which of this is true, and what is just a good story. But it is a good story. :)
Last year when Glow Girl and I drove through Nixon on Saturday pre-event, we slowed down to the speed limit of 25mph. It seemed like walking pace. Ugh. Riding the brakes. Sloooow. The car ahead of us didn't slow down quite that much, maybe to 35, but that still feels like a crawl after barreling down the highway. Within seconds, a cruiser pulled them over. "25" means 24, tops. Have your license, registration, and insurance paperwork handy, and up-to-date. I always assume that we will be pulled over, and prepare for it. It's never happened to us in any of our 8 years.
Also, check to make sure your registration sticker is actually still on your license plate. Yesterday, I was pulled over, not even a block from our house. Someone had scraped off my sticker with a razor blade! The sheriff told that he'd seen it many times. Since my registration was valid, he just told me to make an appointment at the DMV, and let me go. - Meerkat
TAKE A RAZOR BLADE NOW to your registration sticker on your license plate:
Slice it up like a pizza or a tray of brownies: now No one can take it off in one piece!
Never break more than one law at a time. If your brake light is out, don't drink and drive. You are just asking for trouble. Might get pulled over. Keep your stuff in order. Don't attract attention.

Farmworkers who feed us panel on Sept. 10 at SF Ferry Bldg 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. Panel: The Fruits of Their Labor
A panel about farmworkers and how your choices can support a just food system. Truly sustainable food is not only healthy, humane, and environmentally sound, it's socially just. In honor of Labor Day, CUESA is sponsoring a panel to highlight the workers who feed us. Four labor experts will tell success stories of advancing working conditions in the fields and discuss how concerned eaters can stand up for fair food. They'll also address questions such as: Who are our farm laborers, and what are their lives like? What can farm owners do to keep their workers safe and happy, without breaking the bank? The panel will be followed by a short reception with farmers' market snacks. The event is free (donations gladly accepted) and open to the public. Panelists:
Sandy Brown, co-owner of Swanton Berry Farm (the first organic farm to have a contract with the United Farm Workers) and UC Berkeley doctoral candidate researching the role of Fair Trade certification and labeling on agricultural labor practices
Alida Cantor of California Institute for Rural Studies, a nonprofit research organization focused on issues such as farm labor conditions, sustainable food systems, and rural health
Alegria De La Cruz, staff attorney for Center for Race, Poverty and the Environment, former directing attorney for California Rural Legal Assistance's Migrant Farmworker Project in Fresno, and daughter of farmworker union organizers
Maisie Greenawalt of Bon Appétit Management Company, which recently signed a ground-breaking tomato purchasing agreement with the Coalition of Imokalee Workers establishing labor requirements including fair wage, worker safety and worker empowerment stipulations.

Bird Walk and White-crowned Sparrow Work party Sept 12
8am-Optional bird walk with Josiah Clark and other SF birders meet at bison paddock, visit chain of lakes and learn about both resident and migrant birds of the area.
9am-return to paddock at JFK for planting of coastal scrub plants.
Project Background and significance:
The Bison Paddock is a noteworthy historical and interpretive point of interest in Golden Gate Park. This location is noteworthy to birders and naturalists as it holds the last sizeable nesting population of Nutall’s White-crowned Sparrows in Golden Gate Park, a characteristic and recently declining species. This local, non-migratory population of the species sings song dialects unique to San Francisco as studied by Cal Academy’s Nobel nominated ornithologist, the late Louis Baptista. This is also the most open area of the park that is not a playing field.
Currently devoid of plantings, opportunities exist all around the edges of the bison enclosure (but especially in the strip along JFK) to increase nesting habitat for this vulnerable bird species. Efforts will likely significantly increase the breeding population of the species in this area. The Bison Paddock site receives lots of visitors so the process can be observed and appreciated by the visiting public.
Unlike the Presidio or NAP habitat stewardship, Golden Gate Park has no budget, no infrastructure nor special staff to deal with habitat related opportunities. It was said to me by staff recently, "without volunteers these projects cannot happen".
I can say with confidence this project will create significant habitat increases in 2-3 years, especially considering this area gets regular watering. We will see major increases in bird and insect diversity and abundance. The whole process will be highly visible for the public. It will even be audible in the unique dialects of our very special White-crowned Sparrows.
This is just one example of what is possible now in Golden Gate Park. Stay tuned for habitat restoration workdays specialized for birders and naturalists in the world famous Golden Gate Park! We will have scopes out and take the opportunity to observe and learn about birds, butterflies and other fauna that present themselves as we work to improve their habitat. Other potential wildlife habitat enhancement sites include Lloyd Lake and North Lake. Really hope to see you there. Please spread this to interested parties to gain support for this ecologically significant movement, as we showcase remaining habitat enhancement and native wildlife in our urban parks. Details:
Where: Golden Gate Park, Bison Paddock along JFK
When: Optional Birdwalk: 8am
Planting and Workday: 9am-12:30pm
Snack provided (and hopefully lunch too)
Volunteer liability waivers must be filled out before working.
Liam O'brien will lead an optional butterfly walk at the end of the day.
Bring: Binoculars if you have them, water bottle, work clothes
Thanks! Josiah Clark, Consulting Ecologist (415) 317 3978

CALLING ALL ARTISTS AND FREEDOM-LOVERS TO EPHEMERISLE! - OCTOBER 2-4
Imagine a small Burning Man event that takes place on the water. That's pretty much what Ephemerisle sounds like it's shaping up to be. Now, this has nothing *officially* to do with Burning Man. But UNofficially, the organizers certainly are employing and applying Burning Man's Ten Principles, and doing so in spades. Great idea! Check it out:
"Ephemerisle will be the first-ever floating festival of politics, community, and art that will be held October 2-4 on California's Sacramento River Delta.
People will bring their crafts and their ideas to build an eclectic temporary village of boats, rafts, barges, junks, and other floating structures. A large central platform will be provided as a common space to come together. We'll have music, dance, open mic performances, classes on how to build your own floating platform... and on Saturday night, a community feast to begin the evening's festivities.
But this is just the beginning: This will not be a spectator event, though there will be plenty to see. As on the playa, participants will bring their own art, activities, ideas, and love of community and freedom. YOU will define what Ephemerisle turns out to be.
A grant program is also available to help participants offset the costs of floating platforms, boats, or thematic art. For more information, visit

With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, andpowerful 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 rais ...

Sunday, August 30th 6:00p.m. Emergency Round Table on DRONES Redwood Gardens, 2951 Derby St, Berkeley "GROUND the DRONES" on the Round Table Sunday! In 2001 when we invaded Afghanistan, our military had around 100 drones; in January of 2009, when Obama took office, we had about 7000; today we have 12,000. Drones are unmanned planes remotely operated by soldiers behind a computer console in Creech, Nevada (and other U.S. locations), to spy on people around the world and to kill them. For every one "bad guy" assassinated by drones, 50 civilians are also murdered. Help turn up the heat against these horrific assassins our military is using to murder people around the world without directly risking U.S. life, and with little if any legal let alone moral justification for these Drone assassinations. Come to this Round Table discussion and strategizing: from education to action, help strategize what we will do about this rapidly growing force of unmanned planes armed with horrific weapons. To RSVP or for more info call 510-540-7007. SAVE the DATE: September 25-30th, Encampment and Action at CREECH AFB, Indian Springs Nevada

2009 BLACK ROCK CITY PLAN
We received a great deal of feedback critical of the expanded size of the
2008 city, so it's "deja vu all over again" as we return to nearly the same,
smaller footprint of 2007, in the same BLM-mandated location of the Black
Rock Desert. The distance from the inner-most road to the Man is down from
2700 to just 2100 feet, so a hop, skip, and a jump should get you from theme
camp Esplanade frontage to the Man.
Empire store update from the Org: the store in the town of Empire
near our event is currently a shadow of it's former self, due to a
sudden and unexpected change in management some months ago.

Amaya's experience reminded me this...
A buddy of mine (let's call him Rick) tells this funny story about him being in the Army in the 1970's. He was a smoker, and kept his ample supply in his room. One day, the army police showed up with a dog. Rick had done his homework, and he has a permanent chip on his shoulder against any authority figures. He tossed a tennis ball up in the air and bounced it off of the floor. The well-trained dog couldn't keep its eyes off of it, and barked at it. He let the ball fall to the ground, and the dog chased after it and barked at it some more. The dog trainer said "bad dog", and tried to steer the dog away, but it kept on paying too much attention to the ball. A few days prior, Rick had rubbed his supply all over the tennis ball. Of course the dog was going after it! Frustrated by his disobedient dog, the trainer finally removed the ball from the room.
The dog then started sniffing around the carpeting, making a bee-line for the corner. Once it got there, it yelped, and ran away. The trainer ordered the dog to continue. The dog goes back to the same corner, and yelps again, and runs away. A few days prior, Rick had rubbed his supply into that part of the carpeting, vacuumed up the crumbs, and had then sprinkled cayenne pepper on top of it.
The investigation was called off, and Rick was free to go.
He also told a story about putting his supply inside blocks of ground beef, or inside tupperware containers filled with homemade pasta sauce, then stuffing those into the freezer, until they were frozen solid.
I don't know which of this is true, and what is just a good story. But it is a good story. :)
Last year when Glow Girl and I drove through Nixon on Saturday pre-event, we slowed down to the speed limit of 25mph. It seemed like walking pace. Ugh. Riding the brakes. Sloooow. The car ahead of us didn't slow down quite that much, maybe to 35, but that still feels like a crawl after barreling down the highway. Within seconds, a cruiser pulled them over. "25" means 24, tops. Have your license, registration, and insurance paperwork handy, and up-to-date. I always assume that we will be pulled over, and prepare for it. It's never happened to us in any of our 8 years.
Also, check to make sure your registration sticker is actually still on your license plate. Yesterday, I was pulled over, not even a block from our house. Someone had scraped off my sticker with a razor blade! The sheriff told that he'd seen it many times. Since my registration was valid, he just told me to make an appointment at the DMV, and let me go. - Meerkat
TAKE A RAZOR BLADE NOW to your registration sticker on your license plate:
Slice it up like a pizza or a tray of brownies: now No one can take it off in one piece!
Never break more than one law at a time. If your brake light is out, don't drink and drive. You are just asking for trouble. Might get pulled over. Keep your stuff in order. Don't attract attention.

Farmworkers who feed us panel on Sept. 10 at SF Ferry Bldg 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. Panel: The Fruits of Their Labor
A panel about farmworkers and how your choices can support a just food system. Truly sustainable food is not only healthy, humane, and environmentally sound, it's socially just. In honor of Labor Day, CUESA is sponsoring a panel to highlight the workers who feed us. Four labor experts will tell success stories of advancing working conditions in the fields and discuss how concerned eaters can stand up for fair food. They'll also address questions such as: Who are our farm laborers, and what are their lives like? What can farm owners do to keep their workers safe and happy, without breaking the bank? The panel will be followed by a short reception with farmers' market snacks. The event is free (donations gladly accepted) and open to the public. Panelists:
Sandy Brown, co-owner of Swanton Berry Farm (the first organic farm to have a contract with the United Farm Workers) and UC Berkeley doctoral candidate researching the role of Fair Trade certification and labeling on agricultural labor practices
Alida Cantor of California Institute for Rural Studies, a nonprofit research organization focused on issues such as farm labor conditions, sustainable food systems, and rural health
Alegria De La Cruz, staff attorney for Center for Race, Poverty and the Environment, former directing attorney for California Rural Legal Assistance's Migrant Farmworker Project in Fresno, and daughter of farmworker union organizers
Maisie Greenawalt of Bon Appétit Management Company, which recently signed a ground-breaking tomato purchasing agreement with the Coalition of Imokalee Workers establishing labor requirements including fair wage, worker safety and worker empowerment stipulations.

Bird Walk and White-crowned Sparrow Work party Sept 12
8am-Optional bird walk with Josiah Clark and other SF birders meet at bison paddock, visit chain of lakes and learn about both resident and migrant birds of the area.
9am-return to paddock at JFK for planting of coastal scrub plants.
Project Background and significance:
The Bison Paddock is a noteworthy historical and interpretive point of interest in Golden Gate Park. This location is noteworthy to birders and naturalists as it holds the last sizeable nesting population of Nutall’s White-crowned Sparrows in Golden Gate Park, a characteristic and recently declining species. This local, non-migratory population of the species sings song dialects unique to San Francisco as studied by Cal Academy’s Nobel nominated ornithologist, the late Louis Baptista. This is also the most open area of the park that is not a playing field.
Currently devoid of plantings, opportunities exist all around the edges of the bison enclosure (but especially in the strip along JFK) to increase nesting habitat for this vulnerable bird species. Efforts will likely significantly increase the breeding population of the species in this area. The Bison Paddock site receives lots of visitors so the process can be observed and appreciated by the visiting public.
Unlike the Presidio or NAP habitat stewardship, Golden Gate Park has no budget, no infrastructure nor special staff to deal with habitat related opportunities. It was said to me by staff recently, "without volunteers these projects cannot happen".
I can say with confidence this project will create significant habitat increases in 2-3 years, especially considering this area gets regular watering. We will see major increases in bird and insect diversity and abundance. The whole process will be highly visible for the public. It will even be audible in the unique dialects of our very special White-crowned Sparrows.
This is just one example of what is possible now in Golden Gate Park. Stay tuned for habitat restoration workdays specialized for birders and naturalists in the world famous Golden Gate Park! We will have scopes out and take the opportunity to observe and learn about birds, butterflies and other fauna that present themselves as we work to improve their habitat. Other potential wildlife habitat enhancement sites include Lloyd Lake and North Lake. Really hope to see you there. Please spread this to interested parties to gain support for this ecologically significant movement, as we showcase remaining habitat enhancement and native wildlife in our urban parks. Details:
Where: Golden Gate Park, Bison Paddock along JFK
When: Optional Birdwalk: 8am
Planting and Workday: 9am-12:30pm
Snack provided (and hopefully lunch too)
Volunteer liability waivers must be filled out before working.
Liam O'brien will lead an optional butterfly walk at the end of the day.
Bring: Binoculars if you have them, water bottle, work clothes
Thanks! Josiah Clark, Consulting Ecologist (415) 317 3978

CALLING ALL ARTISTS AND FREEDOM-LOVERS TO EPHEMERISLE! - OCTOBER 2-4
Imagine a small Burning Man event that takes place on the water. That's pretty much what Ephemerisle sounds like it's shaping up to be. Now, this has nothing *officially* to do with Burning Man. But UNofficially, the organizers certainly are employing and applying Burning Man's Ten Principles, and doing so in spades. Great idea! Check it out:
"Ephemerisle will be the first-ever floating festival of politics, community, and art that will be held October 2-4 on California's Sacramento River Delta.
People will bring their crafts and their ideas to build an eclectic temporary village of boats, rafts, barges, junks, and other floating structures. A large central platform will be provided as a common space to come together. We'll have music, dance, open mic performances, classes on how to build your own floating platform... and on Saturday night, a community feast to begin the evening's festivities.
But this is just the beginning: This will not be a spectator event, though there will be plenty to see. As on the playa, participants will bring their own art, activities, ideas, and love of community and freedom. YOU will define what Ephemerisle turns out to be.
A grant program is also available to help participants offset the costs of floating platforms, boats, or thematic art. For more information, visit
