Festival of Humanity, World Invocation

RisaNewSThursday is the full moon (6.33 degrees Gemini/Sag), the Gemini solar Festival of Humanity and World Invocation Day. This is the 3rd major full moon festival of the year. At the moment of the full moon (4:07 p.m. Pacific time), the initiating idea of Aries to build the new culture and civilization and the sustaining of this idea by Taurus  are distributed to Earth, awaiting humanity and all Earth’s kingdoms (mineral, plant, animal, human). All over the world, the New Group of World Servers and the women and men of Goodwill will recite the Great Invocation (thus World Invocation Day), the great Mantram of Direction for humanity (it follows the Our Father prayer, given to humanity during Atlantean times). At the three Festivals (Aries, Taurus, Gemini) the Spirit of Resurrection releases forces for the restoration (Aries), enlightenment (Taurus) and reconstruction (Gemini) of humanity and the earth. At this Gemini Festival we invoke the Spirit of Resurrection to release the Forces of Reconstruction to rebuild, reconstruct, and create, with the help of humanity (enlightened world disciples), the new sharing society, the new culture and civilization for the Aquarian Age. During this Festival of Humanity we (NGWS) turn our focus outward (radiating from the Ashram) and (to Earth). We direct ourselves to the needs of a waiting humanity; waiting for God to assist them in their release from suffering and for enlightenment. This is our task. So that we may do this together, we recite the Great Invocation during the Gemini festival. Also on Monday, the Full Moon Day, Uranus (revolution, surprising and unexpected), enters Aries (all things new) signifying the true, outer manifestation of the Aquarian Age has arrived. What the 1960s seeded - the hopes, wishes and promises - now comes forth. (Concert notes: Saturday, 5/29, Holy Cross Church, 8pm, Illuminated, Maya Barsacq conducts. Extraordinary.

Esoteric Astrology as News for the week of May 27–Jun 2, 2010 For Sun and Rising Signs

ariesAries-March 21–April 20
Careful how you interact with others. Don’t rely only on verbal promises of prosperity and/or monetary realities maintaining their previous value. Rely on instinct and then intuition to direct and guide you into knowing the quality of a person, event, resource, and investment. You will be called to courage. Your entire world will turn upside-down. Maintain the stability of hope. Or the stability of giving everything away.

taurusTaurus
April 21–May 21
Be aware that you make impressions on others leading them to follow your every thought, word and deed. Therefore it is important that you complete all promises, plans, agreements and agendas. You’re attempting to initiate new projects impacting us far into the future. Proceed forward. You may be one of the only people able to accomplish this. However, are you tending to yourself and your own home?

geminiGemini
May 22–June 20
You may feel overly excited, anxious while needing more rest. You also may not be sleeping well – either dreaming or remaining awake. The new planetary activity, Uranus in Aries, is shaking everything up, shifting and revolutionizing our realities. Your sensitive body may be feeling this. Maintain a light diet of fresh foods, eliminate anything excess, drink more water and just love more. Look to the stars for direction.

cancerCancer
June 21–July 20
It’s important to maintain close connections to the group(s) you identify and work with. All interactions are opportunities for contact. Seek to understand the hopes and wishes of others. However your life looks now, greater levels of community will be available to you and your family later. Maintain health by drinking more water, taking more Vitamin C and the anti-inflammatory turmeric.

leoLeo
July 21–August 22
You may need to rearrange your work situation. There could be either conflict leading to greater harmony or some communication needs. Perhaps your job interests, abilities and/or responsibilities have shifted. Perhaps you’re being honored for excellence. Whatever it is, look to others around you—above and below, side by side—creating a cross of gratitude for their qualities and goodness, as a great leader would.

virgoVirgo
August 23–September 22
You may be creating many and various lists consisting of places you would like to travel to, visit, learn about, study and even assume a new identity. Simultaneously, do relationships need tending, accounts reconciled, responsibilities completed, and problems pondered and eased? Spending time alone help you complete projects. You may dream more at night traveling the subtle fields.

libraLibra
September 23–October 22
Are you harboring a secret, or putting away money, or in need of something someone else has? Is there money or resources you share with another? Is everything clear and aboveboard? These times call you to be frugal, economically prudent, thrifty and careful, conserving money and resources purposefully. You might teach others very soon about these things. You will, with efficiency, information and brilliance.

scorpioScorpio
October 23–November 21
Relationship interactions and communications are most important now so listen very carefully to what others say and have the intentions to respond with care and keen interest. This creates emotional equilibrium. Being uncooperative creates imbalance and the sense you have neglected a responsibility. Direct focused attention toward others now. Only from you can they feel special care, love and safety.

saggSagittarius
November 22–December 20
Career matters assume new dimensions, co-workers need more communication, you want to improve your health and tend more to the necessities of your life. Realizing this takes balancing, you proceed slower than usual, foregoing adventure in order to create a long-term plan of practical goals. Maybe. Your greatest achievement is accepting your present life. It’s complex, yes?

capricornCapricorn
December 21–January 20
Setting out each day’s agenda and priorities allow you to have more clarity and focus, which brings more wisdom to things both routine and unexpected. Try not to criticize anyone or anything in words or thoughts, realizing everyone’s doing their best within different developmental stages. You are, too. New opportunities appear at first as philosophical ideas and goals. Rest more so you can imagine more. Don’t push yourself.

aquariusAquarius
January 21–February 18
Home, family, property and parents become very important in the coming weeks. Tend to all of these, attempting to improve relationships with family while also improving the beauty and organization of your home environment. Do nothing that unsettles personal or family’s safety, challenge no one, and calm any tensions with exercise, prayer, vitamins, minerals and herbs. With Uranus (your ruler) entering Aries, anything can happen.

piscesPisces
February 19–March 20
You may be traveling to teach, work, create and/or to study this summer. Begin planning meetings, conferences, classrooms and/or curriculum. You will definitely be communicating on a large scale, either personally or through writing, speaking, tele- or video-conferencing. You will gain in knowledge, clarity, happiness and goodness. Others too then prosper. But you must make very difficult decisions first.

    Free Angela

    Political activist and UC Santa Cruz Professor Emerita Angela Davis commands the spotlight in a riveting new documentary. PLUS:  UCSC’s Bettina Aptheker opens up about the political upheavals of the ’60s and ’70s—and today. Angela Davis is not a human being who can be easily summed up in several sentences or paragraphs—books maybe, but, even then, capturing the political activist, scholar and author in the most comprehensive light is downright complex. That’s because Davis is an undeniably unique political creature, one who should be seen and heard to be fully absorbed and downloaded. Which is what makes Free Angela and All Political Prisoners, the new documentary about Davis and the turbulent political upheavals she faced during the late-1960s and ’70s, so inviting. In it, filmmaker Shola Lynch marks the 40th anniversary of Davis’ acquittal on charges of murder, kidnapping and conspiracy with a historical vérité style of filmmaking to illuminate a side of Davis few may have seen (or can recall), and captures the events that thrust the woman into one of the most fascinating orbits of notoriety and political intrigue of the 20th century.

     

    No Big Surprises

    The highly anticipated draft Environmental Impact Report for desal is finally out. Will it change anything? When scwd2, the group pursuing the proposed joint desalination plant for the Santa Cruz Water Department and Soquel Creek Water District, set up a booth at the Santa Cruz Earth Day festival in 2012, its reception was less than warm. Signature gathering for Measure P, the “right to vote” on desal ballot measure, was in full swing, as were tensions over the controversial project, which would produce up to 2.5 million gallons per day of desalinated water and cost an estimated $100 million. What were representatives of an energy-intensive desal plant doing among the recycling and conservation booths? That was the attitude Melanie Mow Schumacher, public outreach coordinator for scwd2 (pronounced “squid squared”), remembers sensing.

     

    The Maya-Ixil Move Forward

    Local nonprofit works to educate and create opportunity for indigenous communities in Guatemala In an isolated region of the Guatemala mountains called Ixil, the indigenous Maya population was devastated by a civil war between the government and leftist guerrilla factions that spanned 1960 to 1996. During that 36-year war, the Guatemalan military eradicated entire Mayan communities. In what amounted to genocide, soldiers burned Mayan farmlands and homes, raped and tortured the people, and scattered families. By the end of the war, 200,000 Mayans had been killed, 7,000 of whom were Maya-Ixil.

     

    Public Thinking

    Watsonville teens host TEDx event Santa Cruz County is no stranger to the TED brand. TED—which stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design—talks have come to the area through independently organized events 10 times since 2011. This month, the gathering returns to the county with a new twist, thanks to the Watsonville Youth City Council. TEDxYouth@Watsonville, which will take place Sunday, May 19 at the Henry J. Mello Center for the Performing Arts in Watsonville, will feature only speakers younger than 19 years old and will traverse topics from racial stereotypes and renewable energy to traditional Mexican dance.

     

    Transoceana

    Danny Moriarty’s musical influences have been known to impact his life beyond his local rock band, Transoceana. “I went through two periods,” confesses the singer, guitarist and songwriter. “I borrowed Bono’s mullet look from the ’80s for a while, and then I dressed like I was from the ’70s and had big hair like Jimmy Page.” Bono and Page are also symbolic of Transoceana’s evolution as a band during their three years together.

     

    Cruzin’ for Inspiration

    Former resident pays homage to Santa Cruz with locally shot thesis film When he left Santa Cruz for the University of Southern California’s graduate film program in 2010, Christopher Guerrero had completed the film major at UC Santa Cruz in 2008 and worked on campus in the film and digital media department. It wasn’t until he headed south, that Guerrero began to reminisce about the coastal town. “It was really really hard when I moved to L.A., to acclimate and find friends,” he says, adding that—counter to the philosophical, conversational culture of Santa Cruz—he found nowhere in his new town where he could simply sit and talk about life with someone. “I didn’t really realize why I love [Santa Cruz] so much until it was gone.”

     

    Beck to the Future

    In celebration of Beck’s solo acoustic show at The Rio, GT explores Song Reader, the alternative rock icon’s most ambitious interactive art piece yet. Here’s an odd little paradox of the digital revolution: The more sophisticated our technology gets, the more our musical milieu begins to resemble that of a bygone era, when song ideas were passed around from musician to musician, perpetually taking on new twists. Dozens of different YouTube users might try their hand at setting somebody’s rant about cats or double rainbows to music, or you might hear the Belgian musician Gotye turning the many and varied covers of his song “Somebody That I Used to Know” into a virtual orchestra (see below).

     

    Growing Berries Without Bromide

    Researchers test a new alternative to a controversial chemical The scarecrows perched in Santa Cruz strawberry fields do little to scare away the birds, much less the insects and fungi harbored in the soil. Everything likes to eat strawberries, which makes growing them a risky business. This predicament led UC Santa Cruz professor Carol Shennan to take an unconventional approach to pest management. Nine years ago, the fatal plant disease Verticillium wilt was wiping out strawberry plants at the university farm. Chemicals hardly phase the pathogen, and Shennan saw little improvement with crop rotation, which is typically used to treat infested fields. A visiting plant pathologist from the Netherlands recommended a little-known organic technique called anaerobic soil disinfestation, and, with so few other options, Shennan decided to give it a try.

    Legal Battles Drag On

    More than a year after the 75 River St. occupation, four defendants remain embroiled in ongoing case  More than a year and a half since a group occupied the former Wells Fargo building on River Street in an act of protest, felony charges linger on for four of the original defendants and a trial may be imminent. Gabriella Ripley-Phipps, Brent Adams, Cameron Laurendeau and Franklin Alcantara were scheduled to begin trial May 13 in connection with the late 2011 protest. That trial now has been pushed back to September due to scheduling conflicts. The four face a felony charge of vandalism and a misdemeanor for trespassing.

    The Pleasure of Süda

    Süda is a happening place. As my friend Jan and I were enjoying dinner, every table in the restaurant filled up and nearly all the outdoor seating was occupied as well. Located in the Pleasure Point area, Süda is a magnet for just about everybody hanging out in that neck of the woods.

     

    The Power of Conversation

    Local author Cecile Andrews emphasizes importance of community engagement in newest book Cecile Andrews, author of the new book “Living Room Revolution: A Handbook for Conversation, Community and the Common Good,” probably wouldn’t get along too well with Larry David’s character from HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, known for hiding his face and avoiding communication with anyone he runs into on the street. Andrews is a longstanding part-time Santa Cruz (part-time Seattle) resident who says something that’s struck her about this town over the years is people's willingness to participate in a practice she’s dubbed the “Stop and Chat”—which is exactly what it sounds like.

    Best of Santa Cruz County

    The 2013 Santa Cruz County Readers' Poll and Critics’ Picks It’s our biggest issue of the year, and in it, your votes—more than 6,500 of them—determined the winners of The Best of Santa Cruz County Readers’ Poll. New to the long list of local restaurants, shops and other notables that captured your interest: Best Beer Selection, Best Locally Owned Business, Best Customer Service and Best Marijuana Dispensary. In the meantime, many readers were ever so chatty online about potential new categories. Some of the suggestions that stood out: Best Teen Program and Best Web Design/Designer. But what about: Dog Park, Church, Hotel, Local Farm, Therapist (I second that!) or Sports Bar—not to be confused with Bra. Our favorite suggestion: Best Act of Kindness—one reader noted Café Gratitude and the free meals it offered to the Santa Cruz Police Department in the aftermath of recent crimes. Perhaps some of these can be woven into next year’s ballot, so stay tuned. In the meantime, enjoy the following pages and take note of our Critics’ Picks, too, beginning on page 91. A big thanks for voting—and for reading—and an even bigger congratulations to all of the winners. Enjoy.  -Greg Archer, EditorBest of Santa Cruz County Readers’ Poll INDEX | Shops | Food & Drink | Arts & Entertainment | Health & Fitness | Professionals | The Rest |

     

    Poetic Cellars

    Poetic Cellars makes the most romantic wines. With a verse or two of beautiful poetry on every label, mostly poems of love and romance, this is the perfect wine to open up over dinner with your sweetheart. I particularly love winemaker Katy Lovell’s Syrah ($28) with its voluptuous velvety textures and dark fruit flavors.

     

    The Gypsy

    French-born jazz vocalist Cyrille Aimée lives for musical freedom and improvisation Cyrille Aimée is a musical gypsy. Her sound incorporates elements of Latin American, American, Brazilian and other styles of jazz, she has recorded albums as a duet with Diego Figueiredo, she currently performs with the Surreal (same pronunciation as her first name) Band, and she is working on a new album with yet another band. As it happens, Aimée can actually blame gypsies for her love of jazz. “I grew up in Samois-sur-Seine, which is a little town in France where Django Reinhardt used to live,” she says. “Every year they have the Django Festival in his honor, and so gypsies from all parts of Europe come and honor him and play guitar. I started hanging out with the gypsies and became obsessed with their music, their way of living, their freedom. What drew me to jazz music was the freedom of it, all the improvisation, and the fact that it’s a style of music that is constantly changing.”

     

    May Day in the Alps

    When my daughter returns to Santa Cruz from her new home in Los Angeles, she comments on how quiet it is here. It was even more so during a trip to Ben Lomond, when we set out for a sample of her second favorite macaroni and cheese. Sitting at the front of the Tyrolean Inn restaurant, the green tarp with plastic windows kept out the chill as well as the noise of an occasional passing car. A new draft beer celebrating the German spring, Maibok ($6) was refreshing, served in a hefty glass stein, but specialty cocktails are unique as well.

     

    Exposed

    David Cay Johnston’s new book explains how big companies rob us blind In his late teens David Cay Johnston started to ask questions. “Why do we have these guys in uniforms with guns driving around in cars all day?” “Why is the Santa Cruz County Courthouse being built in such an unusual shape?” He wrote an article, while still living in his hometown of Santa Cruz, proving that the off-kilter courthouse building, which officials had promised would save money, actually cost more than a conventional building.
