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 Bankruptcy Drew Moore, Esq. Specializing in Individual & Business Bankruptcy Bad Debt? Credit Problems Free Consultation 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 Directions The SOURCE Cuisine [email protected] 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. Visit me at cookingwithtrace.com or email me at cookingwithtrace@gmail. com. I would love to hear from you!

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. Manuel Ybarra, Jr. Coalgate OK 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 PLEASE KEEP THIS LETTER MOVING. FOR THE WRONG T H I N G S T O P R E VA I L T H E RIGHTFUL MAJORITY NEEDS TO R E M A I N C O M P L A C E N T AND QUIET!! LET THIS NEVER HAPPEN!!

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 The SOURCE / May 2013 Design • Print • Wow S C R E A M G R A P H I C S 2350 G Road, Suite 232 • www.screamgraphics.com Award-Winning Design • Exceptional Quality • Highly Competitive Pricing 6 Call Today 970-201-3031 [email protected] today. 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.

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, Real Estate Moving Up make Sense? Web-Design & Graphic Designs TAP into ...

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.

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 Let me provide you with quality... Expires 9-15-10 By Barry Smith [email protected] 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! Looking to beat your competition?

A number of years ago, Kmart was a major force in the retail store market. Every Kmart had a large, well-stocked sporting goods department and sold guns and ammunition at a good profit. Then, some genius in their marketing department decided to hire Rosie McDonnell as Kmart’s spokesman, although she was a very vocal spokesman for the group who wanted to restrict the right to own and carry a gun. I and millions of gun-owners quit shopping at Kmart; throughout the intervening years, I have been to a Kmart one time. Kmart went bankrupt, and today, as I drive by their store to go to Wal-Mart, I always notice that there are only a handful of cars in the parking lot, while Wal-Mart has two stores in town, and their parking lots are always crowded. I will not shop at Kmart ever again. I only went into their store once recently to see if they had any ammunition after the Department of Homeland Security destroyed the consumer end of the ammunition market by TV SOURCE The SOURCE ...Colorado becomes the New Kmart SPAM... mp for: ement esign Two Coffees 433-2060 � [email protected] 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……… 205 8th Street Glenwood Looking for someone you can trust? 970-945-5011 www.hauteplatebistro.com PIZZA - SANDWICHES - PASTA 970-945-5011 Full Bar Breakfast Eggs Benedict Breakfast Burrito Eggs Florentine Pancakes French Toast Huevos Rancheros Many Many More...

How long have you been involved with soccer at CMU? I have been the Head Coach since they added the program in 2007. Profile: Josh Pittman, CMU Head Coach, Men’s Soccer Name: Josh Pittman Occupation: Head Men’s Soccer Coach, Colorado Mesa University Age: 43 Goals: My goals at Mesa are twofold. One, for my players to have an incredible experience by getting a great education and by having 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. Do you think that soccer will be come more popular in the USA in the near future? Soccer is extremely popular in the US. It is one of the biggest participation sports of all ages. Our Women and Men’s national teams are very successful! The MLS is becoming stronger and stronger every year. The level of college soccer improves every year, and a 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 in the US is that we have many different sports to compete with every day. In Europe, you do not have that as much. Has the new soccer stadium at CMU been well attended? The stadium has been great for the Grand Junction community. Friday night games for our CMU soccer teams have been very well attended, as have the Tuesday and Thursday night high school games. The SOURCE women’s professional league has started recently. Plus, the investment by large companies in soccer and the coverage by entities such as ESPN show the popularity growth of the sport.

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.

The SOURCE Tunes By Randy Raisch • [email protected] 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.... 12 The SOURCE / May 2013 Expires 6-15-13 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!

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. 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. 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. 14 inches and gained 2 pounds of muscle back!! I personally love it!! It’s helping me tone and tighten my loose skin! Donna L.

Two weeks to go ‘till my wedding and I know you’ll still help me look my best on my special day!!! Danielle W. I have recently lost a lot of weight and need to stop focusing on the scale! My first month I lost The SOURCE / May 2013 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. The SOURCE A Day at the Movies By Randy Raisch [email protected] 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 Calendar continued from page 10 Shooting Championships, William Jarvis Shooting Complex, 3220 Reeder Mesa Rd., Whitewater CO. Free to spectators!

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.

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.

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 Ages 14+.

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. Rated R. 86 minutes.

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. cato.org Valuable Coupon! 15% OFF Any Purchase 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.
