Cooking with Trace Excitement—and Roast Chicken!
What are you excited about this
spring? I’m gearing up for fruits and
vegetables from the Grand Valley;
I’m stoked about picnics, festivals,
outdoor concerts, and longer days.
Can you believe all that our valley
has to offer? Music festivals, food
festivals, farmers markets, a headless chicken festival.… Yeah, you
heard that right... Miracle Mike’s
big day is coming soon.
Mike the Headless Chicken
Festival days are May 17-18 in
Fruita. This is a great time to get
out and celebrate the pluck [pun
intended] of the chicken that would
not go willingly to the big fryer in
the sky.
The story goes that Mike was on
the menu one evening in September,
1945, and that afternoon his owner
went to do the deed. Being the good
son-in-law that he was, the farmer
attempted to leave as much of the
neck intact as he could for his wife’s
mother. Now, if you’ve never been
around someone who raises chickens for food, you might not appreciate the farmer’s process. After the
chicken’s head has been chopped
off, people have been known to let
the fowl run around (like a chicken with his head cut off). For the
chicken, this is generally strictly
an adrenaline, muscle-stimulating
reaction. Except in Mike’s case,
it was more. Because so much of
his neck was left, the brainstem
that remained allowed him to live.
And, for a clinically dead chicken,
he lived a LONG time!
He was dubbed “Miracle Mike,”
and he had to be fed with an eyedropper and carefully taken care
of because, ummm, well, he didn’t
have a head. (If you missed this, you

weren’t paying attention).
So, long story short is that Mike
became a celebrity and toured
around to sideshows and fairs
until his untimely demise (again),
some 18+ months later, because he
choked.
This makes me think about Al
Capone. He was notorious as a
gangster, criminal and all-around
BAMF; but his downfall came
because of tax evasion.
Simple Roast Chicken
(Courtesy of realsimple.com)
Ingredients
1 onion, sliced
1 3 1/2- to 4-pound chicken,
giblets removed
1 tablespoon olive or vegetable
oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 pounds new potatoes,
halved

I recommend you check out
the site for the Mike the Headless
Chicken Festival and participate in
this crazy event. Visit online Mike’s
Web site at http://www.miketheheadlesschicken.org/.
Hey, maybe I will see you out
there?
It is said in culinary circles that
the simplest and most complex dish
is a roast chicken. Chefs work for
years to find the perfect method for
cooking this versatile protein.
In your personal search, this seems
a good recipe to start with….
Heat oven to 450° F. Place the
onion in a large roasting pan. Pat
the chicken dry with paper towels.
Tuck the wings under the chicken
and place it on top of the onion. Rub
the chicken with 1 tablespoon of the
oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon
each salt and pepper.
1. Scatter the potatoes around the
chicken, drizzle with the remaining
tablespoon of oil, and sprinkle with
½ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
2. Roast, tossing the potatoes
once, until a thermometer inserted
into a thigh registers 165°F—50 to 60
minutes. Let the chicken rest at least
15 minutes before carving. Serve
with the potatoes and onions.

Publishing the Source is like living full-time on a rollercoaster. Some
months your ad sales and stories
come together smoothly, and other
months can be challenging. You
live and die through selling advertising.
So I thought I’d try something
“out of the box” by making a request
to our faithful readers to help us
boost our ad sales and page count
by sending us ad leads. If you know
a business owner or manager who
might be open to advertising in the
Source, please send that information
to [email protected].
I’m making the assumption that
our readers will know best what
type of businesses they would like
to see in the paper. As the leads come
in, I will keep track of all the readers
who sent leads to us. Each month I
take those names and do a raffle for
a special gift.
Keep in mind that this paper is
FREE to everyone. The only way
we survive is through the support
of our advertisers. As we sell more,
we can add pages and content to the
paper and increase circulation. So
it’s a WIN-WIN for everyone who
loves the Source.

People have said to me, “print is

Each month the Source only has a
2% pick-up ratio. That means when
we deliver the new paper every
month, we only pick up 2% left over
from the previous month. National
averages run between 8-15%. If print
were dead, I assume I’d be picking
up a lot more papers. I’ve also been

Dear Editor,
America is headed straight
towards destruction. And this
destruction will come as a judgment
from God. Thos judgment can only
be averted if we seek God and turn
ourselves and our country around.
Responsibility for the ungodliness that now prevails in our great
country belongs to each one of us.
But, “Why me? you are probably
thinking to yourself. Because God
says so! You see, God is going to
hold us responsible for everything,
for what we have done and for what
we failed to do.
In the Word of God (the Holy
Bible), it says, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear
God, and keep His commandments;
for this is the whole duty of man.”
(Ecclesiastes 12:13).
We failed our duty in many different ways. We stood by as our nation
was being corrupted and perverted,
and we let ungodliness seep into
every aspect of our lives. Everything
that God considers abomination is
now acceptable by America. Some
of our political leaders now brazenly
support things that God Almighty
called wicked and abominable.
They are either not knowledgeable
in God’s Word, or they are defying
God.
The Holy Bible shows what happened to nations that dared to defy
God, or that got so morally depraved
that God finally destroyed them. We
need to admit that America is morally and spiritually corrupt, and that
it is time to turn back to God.
As a start, turn the TV off, and
then close your eyes, sit back, take
a few deep breaths, and relax for a
few minutes without thinking. Then
believe the Bible truth that there IS a
living God, our Creator, who created
everything that was made, including
you, and that He loves you.
On a clear night, go outside,
where it is dark, and look at the
moon, stars and the never-ending
universe. Everything you see before
you stands on God’s Word.
God wants us to love Him, obey
Him, serve him, in return for the
life He has given us. To get to know
God, read the Word of God, the Holy
Bible, beginning to end.

For some reason, people have difficulty structuring their arguments
when arguing against supporting
the currently proposed immigration
revisions. This lady made the argument pretty simple.
NOT printed in the Orange
County Paper ...................
Newspapers simply won’t publish letters to the editor which they
either deem politically incorrect
(read below) or which does not
agree with the philosophy they’re
pushing on the public.
This woman wrote a great letter
to the editor that should have been
published; but, with your help it
will get published via cyber space!
From:
“David LaBonte”
My wife, Rosemary, wrote a
wonderful letter to the editor of
the OC Register which, of course,
was not printed. So, I decided to
“print” it myself by sending it out
on the Internet. Pass it along if you
feel so inclined. Written in response
to a series of letters to the editor in
the Orange County Register:
Dear Editor,
So many letter writers have based
their arguments on how this land is
made up of immigrants. Ernie Lujan
for one, suggests we should tear
down the Statue of Liberty because
the people now in question aren’t
being treated the same as those who
passed through Ellis Island and other ports of entry.
Maybe we should turn to our history books and point out to people
like Mr. Lujan why today’s American
is not willing to accept this new kind
of immigrant any longer.
Back in 1900 when there was a
rush from all areas of Europe to
come to the United States, people
had to get off a ship and stand in a
long line in New York and be documented.
Some would even get down on
their hands and knees and kiss
the ground. They made a pledge
to uphold the laws and support
their new country in good and bad
times.
They made learning English a
primary rule in their new American
households and some even changed
their names to blend in with their
new home.
They had waved good bye to
their birth place to give their children a new life and did everything
in their power to help their children
assimilate into one culture.
Nothing was handed to them. No
free lunches, no welfare, no labor
laws to protect them. All they had
were the skills and craftsmanship
they had brought with them to trade
for a future of prosperity.
Most of their children came of age
when World War II broke out. My
father fought alongside men whose
parents had come straight over from
Germany, Italy, France and Japan.
None of these 1st generation
Americans ever gave any thought
about what country their parents had
come from. They were Americans
fighting Hitler, Mussolini and
the Emperor of Japan. They were
defending the United States of
America as one people.
When we liberated France, no
one in those villages was looking for
the French-American or the German
American or the Irish American.
The people of France saw only
Americans. And we carried one flag
that represented one country.
Not one of those immigrant sons
would have thought about picking
up another country’s flag and waving it to represent who they were.
It would have been a disgrace to
their parents who had sacrificed so
much to be here. These immigrants
truly knew what it meant to be an
American. They stirred the melting
pot into one red, white and blue
bowl.
And here we are with a new
kind of immigrant who wants the
same rights and privileges. Only
they want to achieve it by playing
with a different set of rules, one that
includes the entitlement card and a
guarantee of being faithful to their
mother country.
I’m sorry, that’s not what being an
American is all about. I believe that
the immigrants who landed on Ellis
Island in the early 1900’s deserve
better than that for all the toil,
hard work and sacrifice in raising
future generations to create a land
that has become a beacon for those
legally searching for a better life. I
think they would be appalled that
they are being used as an example
by those waving foreign country
flags.
And for that suggestion about taking down the Statue of Liberty, it
happens to mean a lot to the citizens
who are voting on the immigration
bill. I wouldn’t start talking about
dismantling the United States just
yet.
(Signed)
Rosemary LaBonte

Family Life on my
Terms
Nearly everybody knows that
a group of lions
is called a pride,
a gathering of
crows is termed
a murder of crows and a passel of
rhinoceroses is lumped together as
a crash of rhinoceros.
But what group terms do we have
for our own modern-day domestic
lives? There are so many types of
families these days—blended families, two-paycheck families, singleparent families, step-families, adoptive families, extended families, dysfunctional families, co-dependents
rearing dependents, ACAs raising
ADCs, and even a nuclear family
or two…. Still, these terms all have
a clinical or pseudo-psychological
edge to them. They are nowhere
near as colorful as, say, a knot of
toads, a skulk of foxes or a charm
of hummingbirds.
It seems to me that we ought to
come up with more vivid nomenclature for our own species’ domestic
groups and sub-groups as they exist

I’ve pondered this linguistic challenge, since, by nature, I have a serious mental bent. (I can’t count the
times friends have told me, “You
are seriously mentally bent!”) After
strenuous pondering, I’ve formulated a few terms for common
domestic groups with which I hope
to impress even wildlife enthusiasts.
After all, what proves wilder than
our own domestic lives?
We’ll begin with an easy one.
Groups of pups and kittens are traditionally called litters, but when
these litters are housebound, they
become an oops of pups and a mess
of kittens. Groups of housebound
children, while not called litters,
are, at the very least, litterers, and
routinely become an oops or a mess
of children.
I once heard a mother refer to the
guests at her eight-year-old’s birthday party as a murder of guests,
but she was probably fantasizing.
Actually, kids at a birthday party
are called a gust of guests. However,
if water balloons become involved,
the correct terminology is typhoon.
In the aftermath of either phenomenon, the kitchen, bathroom and
minors’ bedrooms are known collectively as a disaster area, with or
without formal gubernatorial declaration.
For harried and hurried family
mealtimes, I chose an appropriate
wildlife term that describes the
dining etiquette of sharks—a feeding frenzy. Preceding the frenzy is
a whole clang of pots, and following the frenzy is a complete drain
of cooks.
Sleepy kids on school mornings
are termed a sluggishness of children. Sleepy mothers and fathers
on weekend mornings are called,
literally and wishfully, a resignation
of parents.
Among the so-called “helping
professions,” a group of lawyers
might be termed a moot or an exorbitance of lawyers. Then, again, I’ve
heard people who must deal with
lawyers simply refer to them all as a
trial of lawyers. Doctors, like geese,
are classed according to where they
are sighted. Spotted rushing though
waiting rooms, they are a tardiness
of doctors. If seen in the exam room,
they are collectively referred to as a
mere glimpse of doctor. Beyond that
point, they are all termed a charge
of doctors.
For medical specialists, we might
have a regression of psychiatrists,
a brace of orthodontists, an embar-
rassment of gynecologists, a spread
of proctologists, a wrack of chiropractors, a spectacle of optometrists,
or a rash of dermatologists.
In the average home, a family
generates an eternity of dirty laundry. Before laundering socks, one
has a grunge of socks. After laundering socks, one has an odd number of
socks. With children in the household, clean, folded clothes are called
a fleeting memory.
A bedroom shared by young boys
will accommodate an avalanche of
books, a dump of toys, a droop of drapes,
a rip-off of posters and a whiff of bedding, as well as the standard eternity
of laundry and grunge of socks. The
bedroom of a teenaged boy is called,
simply, a thicket. All flat surfaces display a random of miscellaneous, and
the floor is booby-trapped with a
stumble of sweaty shoes.
Schemes to establish order in a
home are collectively termed The
Impossible Dream. Efforts aimed at
benign coexistence are referred to
as Real Life.

Have you ever thought about
keeping a journal?
I’ve been journaling for most
of my life and have found it to
be an amazing process of selfdiscovery. But getting started can
be intimidating. Allow me to walk
you through it.
WHAT IS JOURNALING?
The word “journaling” comes
from the Latin word “journaling,”
which means, literally, “journaling.”
It is the process of recording your
thoughts, feelings and emotions on
an ongoing basis.
Keeping a journal is like creating
a road map of your life. Not only
does it feel good to get your inner
workings down on paper, but
looking back on where you’ve been
can help you better figure out where
you’re going. And vice-versa. As I
said, I’ve been journaling since an
early age, pretty much since I first
learned to write. Some of my early
entries about Spot and running
have proven to be very revealing
and helpful later in my life.
WHAT TO WRITE ON
First of all, there’s no “wrong”
way to keep a journal. But if you’re
going to do it, you may as well do it
right, which means you have some
big decisions to make. Specifically,
what kind of notebook are you
going to use?
Wait, did I say “notebook?” Yes, I
said, “notebook.” Well, technically
I didn’t say it, I wrote it, but, yes…
”notebook.” Typing into a computer,
though fast and convenient, loses
some of that journaling magic.
True journaling only happens
when pen meets paper. Of course,
the hardcore would say that the
only “true” journaling happens
when you’re scrawling your daily
reflections on the wall of a cave
in an uninhabitable desert, but
we’re going to stick with notebook
suggestions today, mostly for
liability reasons.
Notebooks come in all sizes,
shapes, colors and price ranges,
from the simple wire-bound,
wide-ruled generic notebook to
the fancy multi-subject, collegeruled versions. But since you’re
new to this, you should really
treat yourself to a “real” journal, a
handcrafted leather-bound volume
with “MY JOURNAL” scrawled on
the cover in the blood of those who
would dare cross you.
Of course, if you’ve already
taken a stab at journaling in the
past, you may want to dig out
that old notebook and begin with
it. Just make sure you tear out
the first page, the only one with
writing on it, the one that says,
“Jan 1, 1994. First day of the new
journal! So excited. I will write in
this every day for the rest of my
life. I promise!”
GETTING STARTED
Tomorrow morning, or even
later tonight, open your journal,
and write some stuff in it. Duh.
WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT
Yourself, mostly. If you write
about others, make sure it is in
reference to yourself. Remember,

home by adding a new room or
building up. If your property
isn’t large enough, your county
doesn’t allow it or you’re simply
not interested in remodeling, then
moving to a bigger home may be
your best option.
7. No room for the toys—yours
and the kids’? If you’ve acquired
more toys and so have your kids,
it may be time to look for a
home with extra space, outside
and inside. Some HOAs can
be restrictive when it comes to
trailers, campers and the like.
Finding a home on a larger lot
outside of an HOA-controlled
subdivision may be a logical
move up.
As always, before you decide,
get a free Comparative Market
Analysis from a local real estate
agent who knows the market.
Next, talk to your lender and
make sure the numbers work
for you. Then it’s time to put
the sign in the yard and start
looking for that next move-up
home.

Does One would have to be
living under a rock not to notice
that the local real estate market has
changed. Prices have come down
considerably over the last couple of
years and don’t appear to be going
up very quickly. This makes for a
great opportunity to move up and
into a bigger home. Not sure if it’s
time to make the move up? Here
are a few questions that should
help you decide. If you answer
“yes,” it may be time to move.
1. Have you outgrown your
current home? If you have added
some little people to your family
in the last few years, the home
you chose originally may not fit
any more. If you find yourself
complaining about space, it may
be time to move up.
2. Do you still have fairly good
equity in your home? Take a quick
look at your mortgage statement
or phone your lender to find out. If
you bought ten or more years ago,
put some money down or built
your own home, you may have
some equity that can help offset
the move up.
4. Has your income improved or
your financial situation improved?
If you have had pay increases or
switched to a job that pays more,
you may be able to afford a little
higher payment. Plus, since prices
are down and interest rates are
still historically low, often you can
get more house with very little
increase in payments.
5. Have you matured beyond
your neighborhood? First-time
homebuyers often take whatever
comes along and are excited to do
so; later, you may realize you’d
like a different neighborhood or
want to be closer to work, etc.
6. Is your home one that would
not be good to add to or remodel?
Sometimes you can create a bigger

HOW OFTEN
TO WRITE
Mornings
or
evenings
are
preferable. Each
has its benefits. In the evening,
the events of your day are still
fresh and ready to record, but the
morning is a good time to “write
yourself awake.” It’s the writing
equivalent of coffee, only without
the irritability and kidney pain.
Start out small, a little bit a day,
until it becomes a habit. Your
eventual goal is to get to the level of
real-time journaling, writing down
everything that happens, as it
happens, along with your thoughts
and musings and tangents. This
is what people in the journaling
world call “Facebooking.”
WHERE TO WRITE
If you’re going to all the trouble
of writing a bunch of crap in your
journal every day, you should at
least be seen doing it. Practice your
“journal face” in front of a mirror
before you take it to the masses.
After each sentence, stare pensively
at nothing while touching your pen
to your chin. Furrow your brow
while scribbling furiously. Laugh
out loud at your own cleverness. Sit
close to somebody and sketch him
until he calls the cops. Journaling
is a solo pursuit, but that doesn’t
mean it has to be lonely.
AN EXAMPLE
Here’s an actual sample from my
journal this week, just to give you
an idea of how it’s done: “Working
on a column about how to keep a
journal. Ate some potatoes today.
Maybe too many. It rained. My
knee itches. Time for bed.”
See? Easy. And fun!
Happy journaling!

Having arrived at the Gates of
Heaven, Barrack Obama meets
a man with a beard. ‘Are you
Mohammed?’ he asks. ‘No my
son, I am St. Peter; Mohammed is
higher up.’ Peter then points to a
ladder that rises into the clouds .
Delighted that Mohammed
should be higher than St. Peter,
Obama climbs the ladder in great
strides, climbs up through the
clouds and comes into a room
suddenly buying 1.6 billion rounds
of ammunition. Kmart did not have
ammunition, nor did they have a
sporting goods department of any
kind—a telling reminder of when
they slapped their customers’ faces
so many years ago.
Following Kmart’s decision,
which bankrupted the company,
the Governor of Colorado has
now signed the death warrant
of any business in Colorado that
depends on the millions of dollars
hunters and sportsmen traditionally have spent annually in the
state. Outfitters to motel-owners to
liquor store-owners to gas stations
and grocery stores that sold sportsmen supplies they needed to hunt,
Colorado’s Governor has damaged
them all irreparably. Those hunters
and sportsmen will not forget, nor
should they! Not that that means a
thing to liberal tree-huggers who
now run Colorado’s state government from Denver and have turned
Colorado into the only Blue State in
the six-state group of Red States that
surround us.
But will it stop at hunting, as
millions of gun-owners look at
Colorado? Utah has skiing that
rivals Colorado’s; why would
Utah’s hunters or gun-owners or
their families bother to come to
Colorado to ski—and support a
government that limits legal own-
ership of guns? Montana is a Red
State, and I’ve heard their hunting
rivals Colorado—why not go there
and spend the millions that used
to support our blue-state economy
and help the liberals in Denver stay
in power? Why would they send
their children to colleges in a state
like Colorado, whose legislators are
proud to be on record telling women
to piss on themselves or crap their
pants if they don’t want to be raped
rather than allow them to carry a
legal, licensed, concealed weapon
on a college campus in Colorado?
Last month’s First Freedom
Magazine published by the NRA
was dedicated to “Colorado’s War
on Women,” detailing our legislators’ inane comments when women
who had been raped on college campuses went before them asking for
the right to protect themselves.
I used to be proud to be a thirdgeneration Colorado native, but no
more. Colorado has become home
to hundreds of thousands of liberals
who escaped California after their
liberal ideology destroyed that
state’s economy. Now, as I talk to
out-of-state customers, I tell them
that my city is only 25 miles from
Utah, and that I am a gun-owner,
not a liberal gun-grabber and woman-hater like the liberals who currently control our state.
where he meets another bearded man. He asks again, ‘Are
you Mohammed?’ ‘Why no he
answers, I am Moses; Mohammed
is higher still .’
Exhausted, but with a heart
full of joy he climbs the ladder
yet again, he discovers a larger
room where he meets an angelic
looking man with a beard. Full
of hope, he asks again, ‘Are you
Mohammed?’ ‘No, I am Jesus, the
Christ...you will find Mohammed
higher up. ‘
Mohammed higher than Jesus!
Man, oh man! Obama can hardly
contain his delight and climbs and
climbs ever higher. Once again,
he reaches an even larger room
where he meets this truly magnificent looking man with a silver white beard and once again
repeats his question:
“Are you Mohammed?” he
gasps as he is by now, totally out
of breath from all his climbing.
‘No, my son.... I am Almighty
God, the Alpha and the Omega,
but you look exhausted. Would
you like a cup of coffee?”
Obama says, “Yes please”! As
God looks behind him, he claps
his hands and yells out: “Hey
Mohammed-two coffees!””
Keep your trust in God...your
president is an idiot………

Did you play soccer in college?
I played college soccer at the
University of Massachusetts.
How many camps do you have
this summer?
We will have camps for all ages
this summer. We will have our Mavs
Academy for kids ages 10-15 June
23-27. We will also host a camp for
Elite Boys players ages 16-19 July
7-10 and an Elite Girls Camp August
3-6. We will also have our Mighty
Mavs Camp for kids 5-10 June 24-27,
July 8-11, and August 6-9.
Are these camps for kids and
young adults who have experience
or for soccer novices?
The camps are for kids with a
wide range of skills. Obviously,
our Elite Camps are more suited
to kids interested in playing in college. Our Mavs Academy has kids
of all levels, and we group the kids
appropriately. Our Mighty Mavs
Academy are for the younger kids
who are starting to learn and enjoy
the game. What is the most inspiring success story you have from one of your
campers?
I don’t know if there is a single
most inspiring success story from
our camp, but it is great to see kids
who have participated in our camp
from an early age and see how they
develop. We have had a number of
kids who have been coming to camp
for a few years who have moved
on to play college soccer, including
many who are current CMU Soccer
Players.

Soccer is extremely popular in

Why is soccer in the US not as
popular as it is in Europe?
First, soccer is very popular
here. The challenge that soccer faces

as much.
Has the new soccer stadium at

The stadium has been great for the

The Dandy Warhols Featuring 13
Tales From Urban Bohemia In It’s
Entirety Biography
The Dandy Warhols have already
established themselves as musical
icons with their songs “Bohemian
Like You,” “Not If You Were The
Last Junkie On Earth,” and “We
Used To Be Friends.” In August
of 2008 they released Earth To The
Dandy Warhols, their sixth fulllength album, on their own label
Beat The World Records. Released
initially as part of a subscription service that also gave members access
to the exclusives through the rest of
the year, the album was followed
by a successful world tour. On July
14, 20 09, Beat The World released
The Dandy Warhols ARE Sound,
the previously unheard “Director’s
Cut” of 2003’s Welcome to The
Monkey House.
The Shivas formed in 2006 by
then-high schoolers Jared Wait Molyneux and Eric Shanafelt, and
currently joined by Rob Mannering
and Kristin Leonard—have accomplished (despite not yet being of
legal drinking age): They have performed over 300 shows throughout
the West Coast; have released two
albums with a third currently in the
works; and they just completed a
soon-to-be-viral music video. If you
prefer a faithful ’60s sound taken
to the next level, look no further...
The Shivas expand upon the limited
base of early psych to surpass it in
arrangement, complexity and, most
important, subtlety.

An Electr(on)ic Month of Music
leaves Little to “Wine” About
When I think about the world of
electronic music, I can’t help but
draw comparisons to the world of
wine. Connoisseurs of the magical
fermented beverage are an eclectic
sort that draws inspiration from the
old and the new. They are able to
pull the slightest variances from one
bottle to the next. They expand their
palates, experiencing everything
from sweet to dry and smooth to
harsh.
Electronic music has similar
diversity in range, and May is
loaded with releases that tickle the
tongue of the entire genre. With
such a vast selection, there is something sure to please even the most
discerning consumer. We’re going
to uncork a few bottles, swirl our
glasses, and take a taste or two of
some of the more stellar releases
landing in your record store this
spring from some of electronic
music’s most revered artists.
If blowing the dust of a vintage
selection is your style, a couple of
ancient cellar-dwellers are back
after a long absence. As one of
the most successful electronic-topop crossover artists of the last 30
years, Depeche Mode has built an
unrivaled reputation. Millions in
album sales and a handful of #1
singles propelled the band to the
top of pop music in the late 80s; but,
despite a couple of album releases
over the last decade, the band has
slipped into obscurity as the pop
culture turned its attention to Lady
Gaga, Justin Beiber and other acts
of our day. Instead of trying to keep
up with the radio sound of today,
the band opted to return to their
roots with their release of Delta
Machine—a dark, ominous album
of stripped-down electronics
and deep, haunting lyrics. If you
remember the drone and mystery
of the band’s 1986 release Black
Celebration, you’ll enjoy the trip
back to the era when this stuff was
about as cool as it gets.
Also returning to the scene,
and even more surprisingly,
is Orchestral Manoeuvres In
The Dark with English Electric.
Although the album is the band’s
first in almost 20 years, it feels as
if they never left. OMD had a slew
of hits in the mid-80s, and the new
record picks right up where they
left off with all the catchy, infec-
tious synthpop stylings the band
was forever known for. Tracks
such as “Metroland,” “Helen of
Troy” and “Dresden” are made with
grapes picked right off of the JohnHughes-movie-era vine. It’s fun and
whimsical and leaves a refreshing,
familiar aftertaste.
Outside of the synthpop scene,
electronic music branches off in
many directions. While not as
popular by radio standards, some
legendary artists are harvesting their vineyards famously. For
fans of the smooth and delicate,
there’s Armin van Buuren and his
new release Intense, a flawless ride
through the world of trance/house
music. Van Buuren is considered
one of the top DJ/producers and
Intense is the pinnacle of his last
15 years’ work. The album translates easily from a nightclub in Ibiza
to your backyard pool party, and
it’s filled with the perfection he’s
earned in his career. With beautiful female vocals, danceable beats
and impeccable sequencing, van
Buuren upped the ante on acts such
as Tiesto and Paul van Dyk and
has taken his game to a whole new
level.
If you like your wine a little darker and more mysterious, you can’t
go wrong with Tricky’s return to the
scene—False Idols. Since his departure from Massive Attack in the
mid-90s, Tricky has explored almost
every avenue of musical stylings.
False Idols is the amalgamation of
all of these—from trip-hop to rap
to touches of jazz and rock—but
the electronic background remains
pretty constant. If you’ve ever wondered what Moby would sound like
on methadone, the answer is here,
and it’s pretty damned impressive.
There are those who supposedly only drink wine at gatherings
to enhance their enjoyment. That
same type of feeling embraces my
next two offerings. The French
duo of Gaspard Auge and Xavier
de Rosnay, collectively known
as Justice, quickly climbed the
ranks of the DJ/Electro scene after
their 2011 release Audio, Video,
Disco, and they’re set to release a
live album, Access All Arenas, on
May 7. The “live” aspect of acs, like
Justice, is the barometer by which
most electronic DJs are measured,
and this turntable tag-team provides an energized, perfectly-mixed
hour-plus of dance beats. The set
was recorded live with little, if any,
post-production, allowing the listener to close his eyes and disappear into the strobe-lit, hypnotic
environment of a festival such as
Coachella.
The same type of fun is coming May 21, as the legendary Daft
Punk release their fourth studio
album, Random Access Memories.
The record includes collaborations with guitar-icon Nile
Rogers, Pharrell Williams, producer Giorgio Moroder, Julian
Casablancas (The Strokes), Panda
Bear (Animal Collective), songwriter Paul Williams and others; and it
pays updated homage to the disco
sounds of the late 70s/early 80s. The
robot-masked DJs are sharp as tacks
on Random Access Memories, and the
first single “Get Lucky” (already
topping charts in Europe) is bound
to be a summer hit worldwide. For some (and that unfortunately
includes this writer), the wines of
choice are the cheap, dirty wines
of Night Train-fame and Mad Dogglory. You drink it as quickly as possible, get drunk as hell and wake up
next day feeling as if you got hit by a
bus. Electronic music has something
for you this month along those lines,
as well. New York City’s Mindless
Self-Indulgence brings How I
learned to stop giving a Shit and
Love Mindless Self-Indulgence to
the party on May 14. If you’ve
never experienced the stylings of
frontman Jimmy Urine and company, this is a great place to start.
The album is brash, comical, loud
and relentless, while mixing punk,
rap, synthesizers and rock guitars
into a hell-storm of electro-clash
genius. It’s not to be taken seriously, and definitely not for virgin
ears, but tracks like “I Want to be
Black” and “Ass Backwards” just
might have you wondering why
they don’t make more music like
this. I suggest drinking a lot of this
on a Saturday night and feeling
your head explode.
So, go ahead and dig out the corkscrew, slice up some gourmet cheese
and fill your glass with any or all of
these great offerings in May. Just be
sure to wear comfortable shoes for
dancing, because, after a few inebriating sips of these albums, you
won’t be able to help yourself. And
of course, consume responsibly....

The Bloody Public Education System
When asked if
he thought the
White Album
should have
been pruned to one record instead
of two, Paul McCartney said, “It’s
the bloody Beatles’ White Album.
Shut up!” His feelings match the
sentiments I felt when politicians
began to viciously attack American
education a couple of decades ago.
“We lead the world economically,
militarily, technologically, in the
arts, in the sciences and in innovation in all fields,” thought I. “And
my kids are getting a fantastic education. Shut up!”
With decades of criticism, naysayers and politicians have created
the illusion of failure of our public
schools. And with their persistent
tinkering, they have institutionalized inferiority of education in the
US, at least in our perception of it.
Without a doubt, too much money is spent piddling with education.
Trillions of dollars wasted by politicians trying to fix things that were
never broken could have been used
to create a marvel of democracy,
technology and efficiency.
Instead, George Bush pushed No
Child Left Behind, convincing voters
that one size should fit all, thereby
containing the US education system
in a narrow little box. Believe it or
not, a 15-year-old child who does
not learn algebra has not been left
behind—unless “being left behind”
means that the student does not fit
in the narrow box of values defined
by academia.
Standardized and centralized
education governance moves us
away from choice and from an
understanding of education that
would allow students to pursue
their interests and aptitudes. There
is absolutely nothing wrong with
a high school student who wants
to be a farmer, a roughneck or a
landscaper, and who has a bloody
difficult time understanding how
Shakespeare fits into his or her
vision of the future.
But, while students are in our
public schools, they will be expected to prove proficiency in subjects
that are personally irrelevant. And
they will be graded and judged
according to how well they score on
“standardized tests,” which, despite
the change in name, remain tests of
academic aptitude with proficiency
determined not by what students
has learned or how much they
have grown but by how far above
or below the average their test scores
fall.
Academic aptitude depends upon
a number of factors, especially random genetic variation and random
factors of socialization, such as
where one lives, what one’s parents
are interested in, and other elements
that compose each individual’s personal history. These primary factors
can be tweaked a bit, but they are
impossible to unravel fully and/
or change. Thus, the best predictor
of how well a student will do on a
standardized test is his past scores
on standardized tests.
Nothing has changed despite all
the hoopla and trillions of dollars,
nor will it change. This is the science
of the situation, not fanciful theory
or politics.
Students, parents and the public
are all “left behind” because we do
not offer our children a full set of
career-training opportunities. Nor
do we offer our students respect
and alternatives when they find our
schools boring and our subjects and
standards meaningless.
Standardized education, for all its
theoretical appeal, contains narrow
value judgments. And bureaucrats
and politicians are making and
institutionalizing those restrictive
judgments with policies and public
spending. They tend to do it hastily, driven by fads, politics and lust
for funds. They are not especially
enlightened. They are not gurus.
They have no special spiritual
insight. They have no information
or special understanding that citizens don’t have.
That creates an absurd disconnect between what parents and
students think of our schools and
what politicians and bureaucrats
think of them. A huge majority of
parents and students are satisfied
with public education; a majority
of politicians and bureaucrats are
not. Those who use the system overwhelmingly approve of it; those
who make a living tampering with
the system do not approve.
When I first started hearing what
I believed to be unfounded criticisms of public education all those
years ago, I did a few months of
research. I found a long history of
cycles of expensive education fads.
They come, and they go. What is
happening today was happening
fifty years ago. Politicians and
bureaucrats tinkered, and the public
paid for the tinkering. It’s education
American style.
Despite the tinkering, teachers teach and students learn. And
parents do all they can to support
teachers. This fundamental unit of
education—this parent-studentteacher connection—has remained
constant, and it accounts for the
remarkable successes of generations
of graduates of our public schools.
Maybe the incessant tinkering
does more than just waste money.
Maybe it creates a cultural focus
on quality education and perpetuates the belief that a great society
depends upon well-educated citizens. But the trillions of dollars
spent tinkering could have been
better spent on improved facilities,
technology, higher teacher pay and
more and superior alternatives for
students whose aptitudes and inter-
ests do not fall in the narrow box
defined by the standards of academia.
About twenty years ago, there
began a concerted if shrill effort
to improve education in America.
To date, there is no evidence of
improvement. About twenty years
ago, voices in this country began
screaming about poor relative
performance on internationally
standardized testing. I heard those
voices, and I was incredulous.
It’s the bloody US public education system. Shut up!

In Petersburg, Alaska, life is
a little simpler and a little more
real. The important things just
seem to come into clear focus
without a lot of fancy words—
things like family, good friends,
and that really nice halibut you

Petersburg Sport Fishing
Charters is a proud part of this
wonderful land and tradition.
When customers come to visit,
our goal is to make them feel
at home and help them see the
beauty that surrounds us daily.
If our customers have not “ooohed” and “ahhed” over a whale
breaching, or shaken hands with
a local welcoming them to town,
then we have not done our job.
We know that our guests will
catch incredible halibut and
salmon, but have they experienced Petersburg, Alaska before?
I doubt it.
Our Norwegian heritage boils
to the top when it comes to fishing in our community. To most
of Alaska, we are known as Little
Norway, where we celebrate our
heritage by having a yearly celebration with true Vikings and
Valkyries running around town.
We also celebrate this heritage by
having the largest fishing fleet
in all of southeastern Alaska,

How do I get a stretching benefit from WBV?
WBV will give you a significant
increase in muscle length just from
standing on the platform. It is advisable to hold a regular muscle
stretch position to increase the
stretching effect.
Should I alternate muscle
groups I am exercising on the machine?
It is entirely up to you. However,
it is sensible to alternate between
upper body, lower body and abdominal exercises to allow each
group a rest in between.
Should I avoid using Vibration
with bare feet?
To ensure correct transfer of vibrations to the body, there should
be as little friction as possible between your body and the Vibration Platform. This is most easily
achieved while wearing flexiblesoled shoes (while these do not
have to be training shoes, they are
recommended). However, if you
would like to train barefoot or perform exercises where other parts
of the body are in contact with the
machine, we suggest using a rubber mat or towel for added comfort.

It is entirely up to you. However,
it is sensible to alternate between
upper body, lower body and abdominal exercises to allow each
group a rest in between.
Will I sweat during the Vibration workout?
Yes. Any exercise or physical
activity will cause an increase in
body temperature and metabolism. This in turn will cause you to
perspire so you will sweat during
your Vibration workout.
Why don’t you sell online?
T-Zone Vibration does not sell
online, and we never will. There is
a lot of education that goes along
with a vibration machine in order
to know you are using it properly
and getting the greatest benefits
from it. We make sure our representatives are very well trained
with the latest information, and
highly prefer face-to-face support
for any questions. As well, there
are some contraindications and we
have to be sure that the machine is
being used safely. Ongoing support is part of what you buy when
you buy T-Zone Vibration.

Is it normal for my legs to itch
during and after training?
Yes. Itching may occur while using WBV - this is completely normal.
Will I sweat during the Vibration workout?
Yes. Any exercise or physical
activity will cause an increase in
body temperature and metabolism. This in turn will cause you to
perspire so you will sweat during
your Vibration workout.
Can I use the machine while
pregnant?
We do not recommend WBV be
used during pregnancy. However
it is a great way to get back into
shape post-partum.
Can I use the machine if I’ve recently had surgery?
We recommend at least 6 weeks
post surgery before using your
Vibration machine. Vibration has
been used successfully for many
rehab patients with supervision
from a Health Care Professional.
Please consult your doctor first.
Is WBV like a treadmill?
No, Oscillating Vibration is a
gentle workout that is not hard
on your joints. Instead of walking,
you simply stand or perform simple exercises on a moveable vibrating plate that encourages muscle
contractions using your body’s
own weight.
Can I use it every day?
It is advisable to take at least a
day or two off a week, just to let
your muscles recover from the
workouts. Again, this would depend on the intensity and duration
of your workouts, and your individual health.
What are the contraindications?
While T-Zone Vibration is very
safe, there are some people who
should not use vibration. If you:
Have active cancer
Have an active herniated disc
Have a pacemaker or other implants
Have had recent surgery
Have serious cardiac disease
Or if you are pregnant (or think
you might be)
This list is not exhaustive and
if you have any health conditions
whatsoever, please discuss with
your local studio along with your
health care provider.
How do I use the programs?
The benefits of whole body vibration can often be magnified by
varying the frequency and duration during your 10-minute workout. The programs change the frequency (or speed) for you, making
this variation easy. Instead of keeping the speed the same throughout
your workout, try the same routine
you are currently doing but with
one of the programs that come
with your machine, and see how
you feel.
What speed do I use?
This very much depends on
your goals and where you are
comfortable. If your feet are very
close together, the intensity is very
low. As you spread your feet wider
apart the intensity becomes stronger. Do not think of controlling the
intensity by the speed - the intensity is controlled by how far you
feet are from each other. A good
rule of thumb is to use the lower
speeds for strength training, and
the higher speeds for relaxation
and massage. The exact number is
up to you.

Room 237
Although he’s been dead for
almost fourteen years, Stanley
Kubrick’s name still gives any
true cinema fan goosebumps.
His resume of films is a “greatest
hits” of theater history. I got into
Kubrick’s work a long time ago
when I watched the outrageously
bizarre and visionary A Clockwork
Orange (at an inappropriate age,
mind you), and I had to catch up
with his body of work of films from
the 50s and 60s. Through Spartacus,
Dr. Strangelove, and 2001: A Space
Odyssey it became clear to me at my
young age: Stanley Kubrick was a
cerebral genius.
Everything he touched became

a classic. Even works near the
end of his career (Full Metal
Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut) were
thought-provoking pieces of art
revered as some of the best movies
of our generation.
Back in 1980, Kubrick even took
a shot at the horror genre of cinema with the cold, creepy adaptation of Stephen King’s novel The
Shining. Critics hated it and most
moviegoers didn’t understand it;
for a while, it was the only blemish
on an otherwise impeccable body
of work. But that was 33 years ago;
over time, the film has held up and
the perception of it has changed.
Blame it on the uber-uncomfortable
performance by Jack Nicholson, or
references to some of the film’s more
memorable moments—whatever
the case, The Shining has become an
iconic piece of film history.
So, three decades later, the idea
surfaced to create a documentary
about the film. Director Rodney
Ascher pieces together clips from
the film (as well as other Kubrick
films) behind narration from a
number of Kubrick enthusiasts who
have dissected the film by their own
beliefs and interpretations. While
we don’t ever catch a glimpse of
any of these narrators, we get their
incredibly detailed (and sometimes
wildly imagined) thoughts on the
original film. The documentary has
nine segments, each focusing on dif-

ferent elements within the film that
“may reveal hidden clues and hint
at a bigger, thematic oeuvre.”
The connections involve everything from the genocide of Native
Americans, the Nazi Holocaust, and
the Apollo moon landing (among
others), with narrators supporting
their claims with variables and footage from the film itself. I found some
more plausible than others, and a
few extremely thought provoking.
Did Stanley Kubrick have a hidden
message or two planned all along?
Unfortunately, for as intriguing
as many of the theories presented
were, there is no answer.
That’s the beauty of the film. If
Kubrick were still alive, he could
easily explain or debunk these opinions; instead, we’re left wondering
in amazement if one of movie’s
greatest forces really created a magic trick rather than a major motion
picture.
Room 237 is made for a select
audience of film buffs, but it was
one of the most mind-bending experiences I’ve had watching a movie
of this nature in a long time. The
film hadn’t been penciled in for
a DVD/BluRay release date as of
this writing, but you can watch it
now through Amazon’s video-ondemand service for a reasonable
$6.99. It’s a small price to pay for
one of the best times you’ll have
watching a documentary.

brilliance of such films as The
Darjeeling Limited or Moonrise
Kingdom, you realize why he is
one of Hollywood’s great directing
commodities.
While many simply attribute
Roman’s success to his bloodline
(his father is Francis Ford Coppola),
Roman has carved his niche in the
independent movie scene with
beautiful cinematography, quirky
character development, and a certain way of doing things that’s
refreshing, unique, and almost antiHollywood.
His latest endeavor is no exception. A Glimpse inside the Mind of
Charles Swan III tells the story of a
graphic designer (Charlie Sheen) in
the late 1970s who is having a rotten day. An attempt to rid himself
of the last memories of a lost girlfriend lead to a near-death experience, which opens up his mind to
all types of strange decisions and
bizarre flashbacks. Such incidents
in life usually bring on changes for
the better, but, for Charles Swan
III, there is one major impediment

to his recovery—he is a complete
asshole.
His good looks and carefree lifestyle seem to be what matter most
to him, and the movie beautifully
shows his life on the decline. The
loss of his girlfriend kick-starts a
downward spiral of panic and
tragedy, as he alienates his best
friend (Jason Schwartzman), his
family, and his accountant (Bill
Murray), all the while imagining
his actions are heroic and grand.
There is a noticeable parallel
between Charles Swan’s fictitious
fall from grace and the real-life
disaster that hounded Charlie Sheen
the better part of this decade, but it
somehow made the film more heartfelt. Where Sheen’s tabloid antics
had him in full-rage mode, the
character he plays here is far more
refined and collected, which gives
the film a healthy dose of charm as it
explores hidden human nature.
The film had sequences that dove
into Swan’s mind and entered fantasy worlds of action-hero episodes
and Broadway song-and-dance. For
many, this may be a distraction and
disconnect the film from its main
story line. For me, though, the result
was magical. As graphic designer
and writer, my mind constantly
goes back and forth to impossible
places. I felt as if Coppola captured
that aspect of the human imagination perfectly.
The film is not for everyone (the
wife hated it), but if you liked any
of Coppola’s previous films, you
shouldn’t be disappointed.

LEGALIZATION: OUT FRONT
By Sharlene Woodruff
COLORADO
– In the March
issue, I spoke
about how the
federal government must come
to terms with the
voice and pockets of the American people. The
majority of US citizens now find
the legalization of marijuana and
its recreational or medicinal use
socially acceptable. This potential new American industry is
emerging and finally being recognized as a constant tax revenue
stream.
The primary states being used
as litmus tests are, of course,
Colorado and Washington, the
only two states where recreational
use of marijuana is actually legal.
Second on the fiscal horizon of
that potential tax revenue are the
18 states and District of Columbia,
which have already legalized
medical marijuana.
The state of Washington predicts a tax revenue stream of
$1.9 billion dollars by 2018. In
that same time frame, Colorado
estimates profits of $270 million a
year, filling local and state coffers
with up to $47 Expires
million 4-7-10
each year.
That’s a lot of money to ignore
by any government, including
ours. But it’s the politicians and
lawmakers who will make policy
decisions on the new industry.
Eight years ago, many people
talked about how the recession
could be solved by legalizing
marijuana. But the federal government only resisted. It turned
a deaf ear and continued its longlost War on Drugs across America.
Yet, here we are today, out front in
many discussions about the fiscal
impact that controversial green
plant can have from the halls of
Capitol Hill to the boardrooms of
corporate America.
“According to a 2010 study
by The Cato Institute, legalizing
marijuana would generate $8.7
billion in federal and state tax
revenue annually.” http://www.

the driver’s seat by introducing
new legislation. “The Respect
State Marijuana Laws Act,” or
H.R. 1523, is a highly anticipated
bipartisan bill that seeks to amend
the wording of the Controlled
Substances Act (CSA) of 1970.
If successful, the bill would protect those adults in compliance
with state-sanctioned marijuana
laws. The legislation is sponsored
by a well-respected Republican
United States Representative,
D a n a R o h r a b a c h e r, f r o m
California’s conservative 48th district, which encompasses Orange
County to San Juan Capistrano.
I suppose that, under certain
circumstances, the two parties
can work together for the greater
good and will of the people. Stay
tuned to see how this bill gains or
loses traction as it makes it way to
the halls of Congress in an Obama
administration.
Undoubtedly, there is a trend
happening around the country
when it comes to states’ rights
and public policy.AUTHORIZED
Both Colorado
and Washington are still working
out the details on how to implement the marijuana laws they
just passed in 2012. However, the
