<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://orfadaofelia.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/logo_entre_amigos1.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1542" title="logo_entre_amigos" src="http://orfadaofelia.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/logo_entre_amigos1.png" alt="" width="138" height="111" /></a>Olhando para os últimos posts, parece que viajei, não para descansar, mas para comer. É claro que não é verdade, porém, comer está entre as coisas que mais gosto de fazer e, em terra onde tudo é novidade, fica difícil resistir.</p>
<p>Dentre as coisas que mais gosto de comer, está o camarão. Curiosamente, fui pedir minha primeira porção num restaurante que é, na verdade, especializado em carne de bode. Ele tem desde picanha até espetinho, mas não foi dessa vez que tive coragem de experimentar. Segundo a minha prima, o dono começou com um carrinho do lado de uma banca de jornais e hoje o restaurante pega quase 1/4 do quarteirão, além de ter uma segunda unidade.</p>
<p>O <strong>camarão ao alho e óleo</strong> custa R$ 36,90, mas estava em promoção no dia por <strong>R$ 19,90</strong>. O engraçado é que ele é refogado sem a casca e fica uma delícia &#8211; os com casca são chamados de &#8220;camarão a paulista&#8221; por aqui. A Original saía a R$ 6 e a Serra Malte não dava nem para cogitar a R$ 7,95. Mas com camarão a esse preço a gente dá um desconto.</p>

<description><![CDATA[President H.W. Bush, borrowing a phrase from an earlier era, popularized the term &#8220;New World O]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>President H.W. Bush, borrowing a phrase from an earlier <a href="http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/new_world_order_hgwells.htm">era</a>, popularized the term &#8220;New World Order&#8221; (<a href="http://www.greaterthings.com/Editorial/NWO=socialism.htm">NWO</a>) in the early 1990s. But while the New World Order has <a href="http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=10209">legitimate</a> roots, it has come to be associated with little more than <a href="http://www.infowars.com/new-world-order-still-a-conspiracy-theory/">paranoid</a> conspiracy.</p>
<p>Given what we&#8217;ve witnessed in recent times, however, is it wise to continue to dismiss the notion out-of-hand?</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>The following metaphor, Friedmanesque but nevertheless useful in view of the controversial nature of this topic, paints a picture of what political and economic progress may look like as the 21st Century progresses — and why a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/America-Sale-Depression-Preserving-Sovereignty/dp/1439154775/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_1">NWO</a> may not be as far-fetched as so many of us are inclined to believe.</p>
<p>Imagine a smattering of raindrops hitting the pavement. Each raindrop represents the relative isolation and sovereignty of each nation. As those raindrops increase in number — meaning more countries climb aboard the <a href="http://www.accessmylibrary.com/article-1G1-20779515/regional-integration-emerging-global.html">international trade</a> bandwagon — they connect like dots.</p>
<p>With enough rain — overlapping treaties and trade <a href="http://goliath.ecnext.com/coms2/gi_0198-413795/Should-NAFTA-expand-An-analysis.html">agreements</a> — pools of water form (commonwealths operating under a shared constitution and/or currency). This is a <em>natural evolution</em> of the <a href="http://www.issues2000.org/Celeb/Ross_Perot_Free_Trade.htm">free trade</a> process.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/eu/timeline.html">European Union</a> is but one such trade and <a href="http://econpapers.repec.org/paper/wpawuwpot/0502004.htm">currency</a> pool, and it is not at all out of the question that more are to come. In <a href="http://aric.adb.org/">Asia</a>, in fact, The Wall Street Journal reported October 12, 2009 that an &#8220;<a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704429304574468000815291032.html?mod=googlenews_wsj#">Asean Plus Six</a>&#8221; proposal seeks to integrate the 10 member nations of the Association of Southeast Asian nations as well as <a href="http://www.britannica.com/bps/additionalcontent/18/21713506/-Japans-Emerging-Role-in-Promoting-Regional-Integration-in-East-Asia-Towards-an-East-Asian-Integration-Regime-EAIR">Japan</a>, China, South Korea, India, Australia and New Zealand.</p>
<p>Much like a succession of raindrops merging to form large swaths of water, boundaries between nations may become less distinct in the years to come. Such a progression inevitably begs the question: Is national sovereignty passé? And in even longer-range terms, will ethnic, language and cultural <a href="http://www.lyrics007.com/John%20Lennon%20Lyrics/Imagine%20Lyrics.html">distinctions</a> begin to dissolve too?</p>
<p>While far-sighted, these questions are just that: <em>Legitimate questions</em>.</p>
<p>When people say that the <a href="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2003713518_rumor19.html">prospect</a> for a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Late-Great-U-S-Coming-Merger/dp/0979045142">North American Union</a> is little more than a <a href="http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/c2009/cbarchive_20090127.html">conspiracy</a>, they are, in effect, saying that they know the future beyond a reasonable doubt. What this denies in the here-and-now is an appreciation for the reality that a World Federalist Movement (WFM) has been afoot for decades. The mainstream media may not give these long-ranging issues press time, but world federalist organizations do, in fact, exist in the <a href="http://www.wfm-igp.org/site/wfm/the-movement/about-world-federalism">United States</a>, <a href="http://www.worldfederalistscanada.org/about.htm">Canada</a> and elsewhere in the developed world — and they run websites replete with historical timelines that anyone can verify for themselves.</p>
<p>This much we know of modern times: Peacetime economies are evolving toward tighter integration for the sake of shared prosperity. Debates over whether this is incidental or intentional detract from the point: The logical extension of removing conflicting trade laws and legal barriers may well be a set of conditions wherein borders are intact on maps, but members function more like states in a global confederation (<a href="http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_7055/is_3_12/ai_n28393252/">interregionalism</a>).</p>
<p>Some say we may even see this convergence culminate within our lifetimes.</p>
<p>In a speech then-president-elect Barack Obama gave in Berlin, he had this to say:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><em>No doubt there will be differences in opinon. But the burdens of global citizenship continue to bind us together.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><em>A change of leadership in Washington will not lift this burden.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><em> In this new century Americans and Europeans alike will be required to do more, not less.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><em>Partnership and cooperation between nations is not a choice. It is the only way. The one way to protect our common security and advance our common humanity.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>President Obama&#8217;s message? This isn&#8217;t personal. This isn&#8217;t partisan. This &#8220;burden&#8221; <em>is</em> the future. And no, we do not have a choice.</p>
<p>President Obama, to be clear, is but one of several American presidents in recent years to share a globalized vision — hence his statement that a &#8220;change in Washington&#8221; will not deviate world leaders from a transnational progressive path:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/1EyXV1GxikE&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/1EyXV1GxikE&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>SERIOUS QUESTIONS FOR SERIOUS TIMES</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Does a shift toward increasingly large and impersonal centralized governance bode well for freedom to exclude oneself or one&#8217;s nation from a one-size-fits-all policy? Or will freedom to <em>opt out</em> be the one guarantee <a href="http://www.allied-co.com/ri/index2.html">regional integration</a> proponents — <a href="http://www.cigionline.org/tags/123">world federalists</a> — can&#8217;t promise?</li>
<li>Is it in keeping with human history and human psychology to share a collective vision without breaking rank? How does world federalism propose to respond to &#8220;agitators&#8221; and <a href="http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/section?content=a909099055&#38;fulltext=713240928">civil unrest</a> within its Utopian framework?</li>
<li>Does consolidation of legal and political powers represent a net gain or is it offset by the potential for corruption and abuse at the hands of a powerful few whose legislative reach has gone global?</li>
<li>At an economic level, can or will world federalism deliver on its promise of peace and prosperity for all world citizens? Or does it violate the all-eggs-in-one-basket principle: posing, instead, a dangerous level of economic and international codependency that will hold individuals and markets alike captive to the weakest link within the whole?</li>
</ul>
<p>How do <em>you</em> feel about the path we are apparently headed down?</p>

<p>Após servir no batalhão do Exército do Reino Unido em Chester, na Inglaterra, Billy, bode oficial do batalhão, entrou para a reserva depois de sete anos de &#8217;serviço militar&#8217; &#8211; ter um bode de estimação é uma tradição de mais de 200 anos do batalhão. Agora, o reservista vai passar o resto de seus dias no zoológico de Whipsnade.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Na Bahia, o governo distribui caprinos e ovinos para melhorar o rebanho em municípios de baixíssimo ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-764" title="cabra" src="http://arouck.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/cabra.gif" alt="cabra" width="144" height="160" />Na Bahia, o governo distribui caprinos e ovinos para melhorar o rebanho em municípios de baixíssimo <a href="http://www.pnud.org.br/idh" target="_blank">IDH</a>. O objetivo é garantir o fornecimento de carne e leite de qualidade. O método é simples, tem cores bíblicas: cada família beneficiada pelo programa <em>Sertão Produtivo</em> recebe cinco fêmeas mestiças e cada grupo de cinco famílias recebe, além das fêmeas, um macho de raça pura. Deste modo, cinco famílias compartilham um reprodutor e iniciam com um pequeno rebanho de vinte e cinco fêmeas. Após ano e meio de criação, a família beneficiada deve devolver igual quantidade de animais, para que outras famílias possam beneficiar-se do programa.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Se Jacó, o sobrinho de Labão, estivesse no programa, garanto que faria fortuna (<em>cf</em>. Gênesis, cap. 30).</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">É <a href="http://www.cpatc.embrapa.br/labgeo/srgsr2/pdfs/poster15.pdf" target="_blank">região do semi-árido</a>, é terra de empobrecimento desafiador.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Conheço a região. Oxalá tenha sucesso a ampliação e melhoria do rebanho. Há críticas e críticos ao programa. Claro que o baiano não perderia a piada pronta: chamou o programa de <em>Cabra Família</em>. Nos brincos de plástico – colocados nas orelhas dos animais para sua identificação e controle – tem a marca do patrocinador: o Governo, a Secretaria de Agricultura e a Superintendência de Agricultura Familiar. Tem também espaço para o <em>slogan</em> do governo. Fiquei até curioso para ver o brinco. Foi uma arte conseguir colocar tantos dados num pedaço de plástico tão pequeno. Ainda bem que é de plástico, imagine se fossem placas de bronze de inauguração de obra.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Em Quebec, no Canadá, alguns anos atrás, o governo alugava colméias para favorecer a polinização de macieiras para ampliar a produtividade. No Peru, o governo incentivou a criação de cuy (<em>cavia porcellus</em>), o nosso porquinho-da-Índia, como <a href="http://www.mwglobal.org/ipsbrasil.net/nota.php?idnews=5098" target="_blank">fonte de proteína animal</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Voltemos às nossas cabrinhas (<em>revenons à nos moutons</em>, ou voltemos à vaca fria). Criar oportunidades de alimentação em área empobrecida deveria ser prioridade dos governos e de toda a sociedade. Insisto no termo <em>empobrecida</em>, no lugar de <em>pobre</em>, pois o empobrecimento vem da exploração e da rapina dos que sempre cresceram às custas dos famintos.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O brinco de plástico com a marca do governo é mais discreto que um chocalho. Faço votos que a <em>Cabra Família</em> não se deteriore para mais um voto de cabresto&#8230; Trocadilho infame, como infame é aproveitar-se da fome dos inocentes.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-767" title="GO-074-0" src="http://arouck.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/go-074-0.gif?w=150" alt="GO-074-0" width="105" height="76" /></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Hey kids&#8230; so I kind of wrote a lot yesterday, eh?  And this here post is even longer, twice as long in fact.  My dear friend who knows of these things says the average blog post should be 250 words&#8230; no more, no less.  This interview clocks in at <strong>more than 5 times that!</strong>  So I&#8217;m going to take a bit of a breather&#8230; take the weekend off, give you folks a chance to catch up.  Plus <strong>I&#8217;m going to see bluegrass!</strong> Have a great weekend and I&#8217;ll see ya&#8217;ll next week&#8230;</p>
<p><em>P.S. &#8211; all photos (except last) courtesy of Mark Bode</em></p>
<p><span style="color:#808000;">First Mark, let me thank you for bringing your artwork to West Oakland! When we met briefly a few weeks ago while you were working on the <strong>Nymphs mural</strong>. I hope it&#8217;s ok that I call it this&#8230; does it have a real name?</span></p>
<p>I refer to it as the <strong>Forest Fairy mural</strong>.  It was inspired by my friends who are amazing artists from Brazil who call themselves <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Os_Gêmeos" target="_blank">Os Gêmeos</a>, which means &#8220;The Twins&#8221; in Portuguese. They are simply amazing artists and they visited me recently for the first time.<br />
<span style="color:#808000;"><br />
You mentioned that you had been part of a similar mural project in the <strong>mission district of San Francisco</strong>.  Can you talk a bit about that? </span></p>
<p>I was a part of <strong>The Lilac Street Project</strong> between 24th and 25th and Mission.  It&#8217;s an alley way behind Mission street where the tagging and activities there had become seedy and out of control. So a group of artists and a very savvy couple by the names of Randolph Bose and Lisa Brewer spearheaded the transformation with mural work.  And it worked like a charm.</p>
<p>As the artists completed the murals, more and more tourists came through to photograph them, <strong>transforming the alley into a tourist attraction</strong> which actively stopped the tagging and caused the seedy activity to move elsewhere.  Amazing!  The owners of the property were very happy for their decision and it was a <strong>positive thing for the neighborhood</strong>. Overall there were around a dozen local and international artists that contributed to the cause. The artists were taken care of with grant money from the efforts of Randolph and Lisa.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-703" title="oaktownart_20091002_1" src="http://oaktownart.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/oaktownart_20091002_1.jpg" alt="oaktownart_20091002_1" width="600" height="400" /></p>
<p><img src="http://oaktownart.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/oaktownart_20091002_2.jpg" alt="oaktownart_20091002_2" title="oaktownart_20091002_2" width="600" height="206" class="alignright size-full wp-image-704" /></p>
<p><span style="color:#808000;">Did your experience with the Mission project influence you in wanting to do something in West Oakland?  Why West Oakland?</span></p>
<p>Of course! I went to The Arts School at Peralta High School on Peralta Street around 1977. Now one of <strong>my art school teachers Kathryn Porter</strong> owns property in the area, and at a recent high school reunion at that location I told Kathryn I would love to do some mural work in the spot where my friends and I first started doing art. And she agreed.</p>
<p>More times than not people TALK, but don&#8217;t do the WALK. I followed up and did the walk, maybe partially because of my teacher and partially because I met my life long friends there and felt <strong>I owed something to the neighborhood</strong>.  Thus the Peralta Street Project was born&#8230; we will see if the city of Oakland agrees.</p>
<p><span style="color:#808000;">What I love about these murals is their <strong>juxtaposition to the immediate neighborhood</strong> that can, at times, feel very bleak.  There are boarded up houses nearby, industrial warehouses, the nearby recycling plant that draws many disadvantaged locals pushing their shopping carts full of bottles and cans.  It can be a little depresssing.  But these murals are beautiful, and very serene I think.  The asian woman with her hair and the ribbons behind her flowing in the wind, and the nymphs with their delicate wings, bathing in the mystical pools.  Can you talk about why you chose these images specifically?</span></p>
<p>I only know that I have images that make me feel a certain way that I want to paint. I don&#8217;t have a political agenda and I don&#8217;t want to preach to the people who live in the area.  <em>Just positive imagery.</em> And what I want to paint is my motivation, I have infinite images I want to paint&#8230; I&#8217;m not sure what spurs it.  I want to keep going but I <strong>can&#8217;t fund the work on inspiration alone</strong> as I have a living to make and must move on&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color:#808000;">Are the characters from some of your comics?</span></p>
<p>No , this is from another place. Comics are tedious and small.  Sometimes I have an urge to go big with imagery and use my whole body to convey an image I might have. I must go big before I am too old to do so.</p>
<p><span style="color:#808000;">And what does the lettering behind the asian woman say?</span></p>
<p>It&#8217;s Japanese&#8230; <strong> it says DREAM and LOVE</strong>. Maybe not in that order, but it doesn&#8217;t matter. Alot of street artists make their pieces hard to decipher  and it becomes a code between individuals.. I feel if we start utilizing each other&#8217;s languages in the same pieces it may be that we can relate and communicate to each other through that other language,  much like music and how it is a universal code.</p>
<p><img src="http://oaktownart.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/oaktownart_20091002_3.jpg" alt="oaktownart_20091002_3" title="oaktownart_20091002_3" width="600" height="450" class="alignright size-full wp-image-705" /></p>
<p><img src="http://oaktownart.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/oaktownart_20091002_4.jpg" alt="oaktownart_20091002_4" title="oaktownart_20091002_4" width="600" height="400" class="alignright size-full wp-image-706" /></p>
<p><span style="color:#808000;">I asked another muralist about the distinction between graffiti &#8220;art&#8221; and a lot of the tags I see that don&#8217;t seem to require any real skill.  Do you see this distinction?</span></p>
<p>Tagging can be a form of urban art or a territorial thing&#8230; in most cases it is an eye sore and is much need of a face lift. If I tag for instance I always put an image with my tag, maybe a beautiful woman or a character that says <strong>this is who I am</strong>, and I made this spot interesting. Not all will agree. I think taggers should use their flow in a positive way and show they can beautify and not destruct or destroy public property, even if it&#8217;s mundane and sterile at times.</p>
<p><span style="color:#808000;">In fact, I noticed you had to come back and<strong> clean up a couple of these tags</strong> on one of your murals.  Is it difficult to see your work altered?  Or is that just part of the whole street art thing?</span></p>
<p>It can make you angry if taggers go over such wonderful things and start a war of mind and thought, &#8220;Why did they do this?  Why can&#8217;t they see the positive thing we are doing for the very same neighborhood they live in?&#8221;  Well, I know in most cases that <strong>a true street artist will have respect for what the artist has done</strong> and won&#8217;t deface it. Sometimes there is a situation where a young person feels empowered by the act.  For me,  I love doing the piece and I just get to work on it more if I have to touch it up. I was, in an off-handed way, glad to return to the piece.  But that attitude is rare&#8230; I don&#8217;t make beef, I just wonder &#8220;why deface a positive to the hood?&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="color:#808000;">Are there any &#8220;rules&#8221; about altering other artists&#8217; works?</span></p>
<p>If it is a spot that is permanent then yes we have a rule.  Like Peralta, I am trying to make a more colorful place for people to live in.  If someone has a different vision, we should work with them.  But if they are defacing our work there is a social or economic problem that is deeper than the imagery.  <strong>Maybe they need a hug!!!</strong></p>
<p><span style="color:#808000;">It seems one of the great things about street art is that you have exposure to a much broader audience than people who would typically know of your work (comic book fans, graf artists, etc.)  What do you <strong>hope the random passerby takes away</strong> from his/her experience of these paintings?</span></p>
<p>It already happened while the piece was being created&#8230;  I teared up when a homeless person looked up and said &#8220;<em>I love her</em>&#8221; and smiled.  That is worth every moment, and I heard that multiple times during the creation of the Maki piece. <strong>People love her</strong> and it makes them feel a good feeling as they do their daily grind, whatever that may be.  Ill do it again in a second if I can..</p>
<p><span style="color:#808000;">What are your plans for <strong>future murals in the neighborhood</strong>?  You mentioned working with the folks at Custom Alloy Recycling.  Any movement there?</span></p>
<p>We will see what happens there&#8230; they seem receptive. <strong>I hope the art will prevail</strong> and we can cheer up West Oakland and the bay area with ART!</p>
<p><span style="color:#808000;">And lastly, if folks want to <strong>get involved</strong> and help out with your next mural, is that possible?  If so, how should they contact you?</span></p>
<p>I always work 3 days a week at <a href="http://www.sacredrosetattoo.com" target="_blank">Sacred Rose Tattoo</a> in Berkeley and I&#8217;m always receptive to new artists.  So contact me and I will surely direct you as best I can.<br />
<a href="http://www.markbode.com/" target="_blank">www.markbode.com</a></p>
<p><span style="color:#808000;">Thanks for your time Mark.  And thanks for bringing your positive energy to West Oakland.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[Wow&#8230; so yesterday was a bit controversial&#8230; on a couple levels.  That&#8217;s GOOD. First]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Wow&#8230;<strong> so yesterday was a bit controversial</strong>&#8230; on a couple levels.  <em>That&#8217;s GOOD</em>.</p>
<p>First, we got reprimanded for promoting illegal activity (and even making fun of the ways to not get caught&#8230; which I still think is hilarious).  Let me say here in public, what I also wrote directly to this commenter, who since, retracted his comment of critique and offered up a more positive response&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>My goal here is to promote ART.</strong> Both the conventional (legal, publicly condoned/sanctioned) and the unconventional (which yes, at times, can be illegal).  I am not a proponent of altering or defacing private (or public for that matter) property without permission.  <strong>That&#8217;s ME&#8230; those are my values.</strong> For the most part, I believe the laws enacted by our representative government are designed for the benefit of society at large.  Though there have certainly been many mistakes along the way&#8230; <em>we learn as we go</em>.  I also said in a past post (see <a href="http://oaktownart.wordpress.com/2009/09/11/for-friday/" target="_blank">There Are Laws About These Things&#8230;</a>) that I believe it&#8217;s up to each artist to decide for him/herself what is acceptable behavior, and what risks are willing to be undertaken.</p>
<p>We live in a society based upon liberty.  And the First Amendment to our Constitution (its position at the top of the list indicates its <em>primary importance</em>) guarantees us all the rights of free speech.  Yes, this can be interpreted in a mind boggling number of ways, exampled by the current legal challenges to campaign finance reform (<strong>who knew money was speech?!?</strong>)  But I would argue, and I&#8217;m sure others have too, that displays of art can be considered speech as well.</p>
<p>This doesn&#8217;t give the artist the right to deface another individual&#8217;s property&#8230; that person has guaranteed rights as well.  But it does guarantee the artist the right to display his message (his speech) <em>somewhere</em>.  And here is my beef&#8230; we&#8217;ve left few public spaces for the artists.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve got plenty of abandoned, dilapidated properties in this city that certainly aren&#8217;t being tended to by their owners.  <strong>Artists take advantage of these sites</strong> because they have few other options if they want to display their art publicly, and I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s such a bad thing.  If kids are running around w/ paint, chalk, posters, and wheatpaste in an effort to be creative, isn&#8217;t that a hell of a lot better than running around with guns and drugs?</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s find ways to <em>support</em> their creativity&#8230; channel it in positive ways, eh?  Some cities have designed skate parks for skateboarders&#8230; <strong>can&#8217;t we set aside Art parks for Artists?</strong> I personally think this would be way cool.  And a magnet, not just for artists, but art patrons and tourists alike.  My upcoming interview with <a href="http://www.markbode.com/" target="_blank">Mark Bode</a> talks about just such a project in San Francisco.  Check back soon for that&#8230;</p>
<p>The second controversy from yesterday&#8217;s post involved the <em>content</em> of the images.  A friend of mine said she found the newsprint photographs of what I assume are developmentally challenged individuals, <strong><em>disturbing</em></strong>.</p>
<p>I believe there is plenty of great art that can (and is designed to) delight us.  That&#8217;s one function. But there are other functions as well, and sometimes the best art, the kind that moves society forward in new ways of thinking, is, well&#8230; disturbing.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not saying the wheat pastes from yesterday fall into that category&#8230; maybe they do, maybe they don&#8217;t.  What I am saying is that <strong>we can choose to live in a sanitized world</strong> where we are spared from disturbing imagery (think of the Bush era&#8217;s manipulation of the media to prevent us from seeing any of the deceased soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan).  Or we can live in a world where we confront reality&#8230; disturbing as it may be at times.</p>
<p>Having said all that, <strong>today I will delight you</strong> with something I think few would find controversial.  It&#8217;s another pet hospital mural by our friend <a href="http://www.stefenart.com/aboutS.html" target="_blank">Stefen</a> from <a href="http://oaktownart.wordpress.com/2009/09/02/land-of-sky-blue-waters/" target="_blank">Land of the Sky Blue Waters</a>.  It&#8217;s titled &#8220;Promenade at Lake Merrit&#8221; and was created in 2004, and dedicated to the protection of Lake Merritt in 2005.  Enjoy&#8230;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>from Times Magazine</p>
<div id="attachment_169" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 270px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-169" title="goaties" src="http://hungrygoat.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/goaties.jpg?w=260" alt="Goaties for dinner" width="260" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Goaties for dinner</p></div>
<p>Goats, Americans are learning, are good for more than cheese. Goat meat, though still relatively hard to come by in the U.S., is winning over more diners because it&#8217;s lean and (at least for the time being) raised mostly on small farms. Some California ranchers, however, have begun raising goats commercially, and chefs like Marsha McBride of Café Rouge in Berkeley, Calif., and Scott Conant of Scarpetta in New York City are selling dishes such as <strong>&#8220;grilled goat crepinette&#8221;</strong> and <strong>&#8220;moist-roasted capretto.&#8221;</strong> Capretto, by the way, is Italian for kid.</p>
<p>Times magazine provided a full review of goat meat recipes in a special article writen by <strong>Nathan Thornburgh</strong>. The article is cool, specially coz only a few people know the power of a good goat meat.</p>
<p>You can check a few recipes in the article and also see a video for instructions to kill you own goat&#8230; doesn&#8217;t sound any funny to me, but some may like it. As all goats will go to hell, acording to him, I will do my part and copy a part of his hard work here, so you guys may know the secrets of goat. I will try to try (geez <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  LOL) different goat recipes in the restaurants I visit and I&#8217;ll post it here to you guys.</p>
<div>
<div>
<p>All Goats, apparently, go to hell. The Bible is quite clear about this in the Gospel of Matthew: when Christ returns, he&#8217;ll separate the goats from the sheep and send the sheep up and the goats down.</p>

<p>That is a shame. In the 20 years my uncle has spent raising goats, I&#8217;ve known the animals to be extremely cute and fairly intelligent (for livestock) and, importantly, delicious. So when it came time to have a big summer barbecue, I thought of the long-maligned goat. Sure, it has been absent from American haute cuisine since, well, forever, even as meat fads like emu and ostrich have come and gone. But it&#8217;s one of the most popular meats in the world, and immigrants from South Asia, the Caribbean and Latin America are importing a taste for it to the U.S. There&#8217;s a lot for non immigrants to like too. It has much less cholesterol and saturated fat than beef or pork and is much easier on the environment. Goats have small hooves that don&#8217;t tear up pastures, and they don&#8217;t need a lot of expensive grain or water.</p>
<p>Even though the number of U.S. meat goats is on the rise (up 25% since 2005), if you want fresh goat meat, you might have to kill it yourself. That&#8217;s what we did.</p>
<p>I had enlisted Manhattan superchef Michael Psilakis to be a guru of sorts for the barbecue. Lamb and goat were a big part of his growing up in a Greek family on Long Island, N.Y.&#8211;not just cooking them but killing them too. And his successes as a restaurateur&#8211;one of his places, Anthos, was recently nominated for best new restaurant in America by the James Beard Foundation&#8211;apparently haven&#8217;t slaked his thirst for warm, runny death. &#8220;I&#8217;ve slaughtered just about everything there is to slaughter,&#8221; he told me. &#8220;It really makes you respect the food.&#8221; I couldn&#8217;t do this barbecue right, he said, unless I was there for the slaughter.</p>
<p>Ultimately, it was the right thing to do&#8211;or at least the typical thing. Few super markets sell goat, and those that do are likely to import it frozen from as far away as New Zealand. That&#8217;s because most U.S. slaughterhouses won&#8217;t process goats&#8211;at 65 lb. or so (30 kg) on the hoof, a goat doesn&#8217;t have enough meat to make the kill worth it in the era of factory farming. So rookies in the goat-raising business are warned that they may have to provide a place on the farm where customers can kill the animals they pick out.</p>
<p>Our place was behind a barn near Hope well, N.J. Logistically, it was pretty easy; all we needed were a sturdy rafter, some twine, a sharp knife and a bucket. Emotionally, though, it was more complex. Meat is, unavoidably, murder. But we were quick and merciful, and I think assisting in those two deaths made me a more conscientious carnivore, just as Psilakis had promised.</p>
<p>After we skinned the goats and dressed them, we aged the meat for a day, and then in a nod to enthusiasms for chevon around the globe, we used one goat to cook an Indian curry, a Mexican birria and an Italian capretto. Psilakis also kicked in a stunning kokoretsi (sort of a Greek haggis) plus sausages and a terrine&#8211;all terrific dishes made primarily from offal.</p>
<p>The coup, though, was the whole roasted goat. There are full roasting instructions and recipes on the next page, but Psilakis essentially trussed the entire animal (sans head) to the spit and roasted it over in direct heat for six to seven hours, basting it constantly with a mix of lemon juice, olive oil, oregano and salt and pepper.</p>
<p>Goat is a lean meat, but when it&#8217;s cooked slowly like this, it is completely tender and flavorful, like a fortuitous cross between pork and beef. It was good. So good, in fact, that if goats really go to hell, with all that slow roasting and fire, I might just want to join them there.</p>

<p>Quando estava em Sydney sonhei que retornava a São Paulo.</p>
<p>A cidade era mais bonita, mais limpa, não tinha tanta fiação atravessando as ruas e se emaranhando no alto dos postes. Nela o meu carro tinha ar condicionado bombando, mas sem vidros obrigatoriamente lacrados para evitar assaltantes disfarçados de pedintes.</p>
<p>No sonho a média da população paulistana podia não ser tão instruída quanto à de um país desenvolvido, mas também considerava louca gente que associa carro blindado a status (coisa de campo de guerra) e vergonhosa a discriminação pautada em diferenças sociais. A alienação política não era a regra e cada cidadão tinha razoável noção de civilidade.</p>
<p>Daquela São Paulo, continuo homesick.</p>

<p>I talked to <a href="http://www.markbode.com/" target="_blank">Mark Bode</a> for a few minutes while he worked.  He hopes to produce <strong>more murals in the neighborhood</strong> by coordinating with local property owners, including the big recycling plant on Peralta (Custom Alloy).  I&#8217;m hoping to do a more in depth interview with him in the future.</p>
<p>Until then, <strong>thank you Bode!</strong></p>

<p>My Oaktown Art blog that is.  It <em>really</em> began with this mural, and a small inscription that read &#8220;<strong>Peralta Street Mural Project</strong> coming soon&#8230; Please Respect.&#8221;</p>
<p>I had driven or biked past this stretch of Hollis Street hundreds, if not thousands, of times over the last decade or so&#8230; it&#8217;s on the way to Home Depot, the Post Office, my bank, my work, Trader Joes, and more. It&#8217;s practically a daily occurrence.  And one day&#8230; a few weeks ago, <strong>this gorgeous girl caught my eye</strong>.  She had materialized literally overnight.</p>
<p>Check back tomorrow when I&#8217;ll fill you in on more of the story, including my meeting with the artist&#8230;</p>

<description><![CDATA[As I sit here watching my dog chase his tail outside my window, I&#8217;m reminded of the many times]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>As I sit here watching my dog chase his tail outside my window, I&#8217;m reminded of the many times each week I see this same behavior in humans.  A common theme in Advertising, Marketing and PR seems to be to &#8220;don&#8217;t just sit there, do anything!&#8221;  And just like a dog chasing his tail, we jump up and start running around in circles so that we appear to be doing something. This is especially true in social media.  Because it is new and sexy we don&#8217;t hold it to the same standard as other business investments.</p>
<p>In any economy, it only makes sense to have a clear vision of what your ROI is going to be (or what you want it to be) before you invest any time or money in a project.  And let me be clear, the money is the small part of the equation&#8211;your time is much more valuable and wasting it is far more expensive.</p>
<p>So a couple of questions to ask yourself before deciding to embark on yet another advertising, marketing or PR  journey:</p>
<p>1) How will I know it&#8217;s working?  Be really specific.  Just saying &#8220;more customers&#8221; isn&#8217;t going to cut it.</p>
<p>2) How will I know it&#8217;s time to stop?  It is just as important to know when to pull the plug.</p>
<p>3) What other opportunities will I be giving up to pursue this one?  You&#8217;ve heard of opportunity costs, well this is where they live.  If you are weighing several options or there are some possibilities on the horizon, be sure to take this into account.</p>
<p>Spending a little objective contemplation time on the front end of a project, can prevent tail chasing and financial disappointment on the back end (pun intended).</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-817" title="bodeexpiatorio" src="http://passandoaregua.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/bodeexpiatorio.jpg" alt="bodeexpiatorio" width="286" height="320" /></p>
<p>O tema é recorrente: a professora chama a atenção de um aluno por causa de alguma estripulia na sala de aula e a primeira coisa que ele responde é &#8220;não fui eu&#8221;. Então, a culpa da bagunça recai sobre aquele estudante que geralmente é mais ingênuo ou menos popular da turma. São em momentos como este que os bodes expiatórios costumam a aparecer.<br />
O bode expiatório é alvo favorito dos zombeteiros e daqueles que querem fazer alguém se submeter ao ridículo, recebendo arbitrariamente as culpas pelos erros dos outros, explica o escritor e professor Ari Riboldi no livro O bode expiatório &#8211; Origem de palavras, expressões e ditados populares com nomes de animais.<br />
Usar alguém de bode expiatório é jogar doses de ódio, revés e frustração sobre uma pessoa, acusando-a injustamente no lugar do verdadeiro culpado. Em muitos casos, o próprio escolhido é incapaz de perceber que está sendo vítima.<br />
O professor de Língua Portuguesa e Literatura em Porto Alegre (RS), informa que a expressão teve origem em um ritual anual da tradição judaica, chamado de Dia da Expiação (Iom Kippur, em hebraico), que pode ser lido no capítulo 16 do Levítico, livro do Antigo Testamento da Bíblia.<br />
Sacerdotes levavam dois bodes ao templo de Jerusalém para que um deles fosse escolhido, em sorteio, para ser sacrificado e queimado junto com um touro no altar dos sacrifícios. O sangue de ambos era colocado nas paredes do templo.<br />
O outro animal, livrado do sacrifício, tornava-se o bode expiatório, que virava um símbolo de purificação e expiação dos pecados e culpas. O sacerdote colocava as mãos sobre a cabeça do bode para confessar todos os pecados de Israel. Em seguida, o povo também depositava os seus erros no animal, que depois era abandonado ao relento no deserto. Dessa forma, acalmava-se o demônio e o povo ficava livre dos males cometidos.<br />
Ao longo da história, diversos bodes expiatórios surgiram, variando de acordo com o local e o período. Entre eles, os hereges, índios, negros, judeus, deficientes, homossexuais, pobres, imigrantes, comunistas, bruxas, leprosos, ciganos e nordestinos brasileiros. &#8220;Em geral as minorias são usadas como bode expiatório, pois são grupos mais &#8216;fracos&#8217;&#8221;.<br />
Para Riboldi, a história da humanidade é rica em exemplos de dominantes que escolheram os mais fracos e indefesos para pagarem o pato, encobrindo os verdadeiros propósitos, que eram suas ganâncias e ambições. &#8220;Na história do Brasil, por exemplo, o caso clássico foi a morte de Joaquim José da Silva Xavier, conhecido como Tiradentes.&#8221; Ele foi o único a assumir toda a responsabilidade pela Inconfidência, inocentando seus companheiros, sendo executado e esquartejado.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Há horas que olhava para a parede numa busca solitária e desesperada por qualquer novidade. Já fazia]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="color:#888888;">Há horas que olhava para a parede numa busca solitária e desesperada por qualquer novidade. Já faziam mais de 4 anos ali, naquela cela triangular, naquela cela de pedras negras, lisas,uniformes, que esticavam em direção ao céu, sem teto, fazendo-o refém do sol de meio dia e das chuvas torrenciais que caiam perto das enchentes. Uma pedra de quina com a outras, três, toneladas de rocha lisa e escura.<br />
Ouve-se o sino do bode, ele corre ate a mínima abertura feita no muro de pedra, bem perto do chão, dali se vê uma praia que poucas vezes recebe visitas, o bode traz a comida numa cumbuca de barro pendurada numa corda a outra cumbuca que contem a água em volta das costas do animal, ele precisa atrair o bode, puxa-lo, e virar o conteúdo numa cumbuca menor que lhe deixaram, tomando cuidado para não virar todo o conteúdo, pois se uma das cumbucas do animal fica muito mais leve que a outra, a mais pesada puxa a mais leve e as duas vão ao chão, deixando-o sem água ou comida.<br />
Ele demorou 3 semanas para perceber o bode com sininho no pescoço.<br />
O chão de terra e areia esquenta rápido assim que o sol aparece, as paredes alcançam facilmente 10 metros de altura, completamente intransponíveis.<br />
Numa manhã qualquer há muito tempo atrás, o preso ouviu crianças gritando, se jogou em direção a fenda e viu os primeiros seres humanos dentro de meses ou anos, as quatro crianças brincavam correndo uma das outras, e o preso não sabia o que fazer, viu bem ao canto, onde seus olhos quase não conseguiam mais ver, um casal e mais um homem olhando as crianças correrem, e no desespero começou a gritar freneticamente, mas ninguém demonstrava qualquer reação, nem que estivessem ouvindo-o, e foi assim por quase uma hora, tentou as varias línguas que conhecia e nada, observou as vestimentas mas estas caberiam dentro das mais variadas culturas do mundo, poderia ter entrado em estado de alucinação como já ouvira e vira pessoalmente tantas vezes durante suas viagens pelo mundo. E ficou ali, deitado abaixo da fenda, esperando ouvir alguma palavra ou frase entre as crianças para reconhecer uma língua ou um traço cultural qualquer, mas nada foi dito durante quase todo o tempo. Quando estava para pegar no sono ouviu um chamado grave, se levantou e viu o homem que acompanhava o casal chamando as crianças que não demoraram muito para se juntarem e começarem a partir, o homem esperou calmamente todas as crianças passarem por ele, o preso tentou mais alguns gritos em vão antes de observar o ultimo menino chegar ao homem, que lhe passou a mão pelo ombro encaminhando-o em direção aos outros, o preso declamou pra si uma poesia maia antiga que retratava a solidão, bem como ele acabou por conhecer ali, preso ao nada por razão alguma, mas não conseguiu terminar, não lembrava a ultima palavra da poesia e desolado viu as alucinações irem embora, viu o menino com o homem caminhar passivamente para sumir por detrás da parede negra, mas então o jovem virou-se para o preso com cautela, o olhou dentro do olho e sussurrou alguma coisa ao preso que se assustou e começou a gritar novamente, se desesperando ao ver que todos sumiam por detrás da parede, ouviu o trotar de alguns cavalos e ele percebeu que haviam partido.Caído, desolado sob o um céu cinza que previa chuvas, refletiu sobre o que o menino tentou dizer, fechou os olhos e forçou a memória para recuperar o movimento da boca, mas foi no sono que acabara de cair que obteve a resposta. Viu perfeitamente o menino repetir o que havia dito e acordou num pulo, começou a rabiscar no chão com uma concha e percebeu que o menino havia lhe falado em latim, e que havia dito somente uma palavra, e num misto de pavor e felicidade percebeu que o menino não só o ouviu durante todo o tempo, como de alguma maneira ouviu-o declamar a poesia e traduziu a parte que faltava da língua maia para o latim, uma das línguas do preso.<br />
Ele trabalhava para o rei de uma civilização promissora que avançava a passos largos no desenvolvimento da população. Vacinas, alimentação e saúde eram umas das evoluções daquele povo, e grande parte disto tudo surgiu com a nomeação do preso para gerir a parte de avanços e tecnologias do reino, daí começaram as viagens e pesquisas ao redor do mundo, viajou nos primeiros balões orientais, que ele próprio ajudou a construir, trocou carregamentos de comida e semente para ter acessos a documentos antigos que mostravam civilizações mais antigas e mais modernas do que as atuais, visitas de outros seres pensantes e desenvolvidos que prometiam ajuda. Enfrentou a igreja, foi contra todos os deuses, provou os eclipses como causa natural, foi perseguido e o tentaram matar por dezenas de vezes, aprendeu com civilizações de outros continentes a cuidar da terra e a entender suas mensagens, ajudou na construção do calendário mais preciso do mundo, mais ao sul, revelou as tecnologias para que as construções subissem as montanhas, soube de civilizações antigas e afundadas pela fúria do mar, foi requisitado por todos os reinos, tinha uma mente brilhante e isso quase acabou com o mundo como se é hoje.<br />
Numa de suas peregrinações por terras desoladas e secas, vagando sozinho pelas imensidões terrenas, entre cânion e desertos de sal, num acampamento montado por ele próprio, fez anotações e uma carta ao rei, reviu as amostras a serem enviadas e conferiu nas estrelas o belo dia que o dia seguinte daria, deitou, acariciado pelo vento frio da existência e pela vida que brotava por todos os cantos, adormeceu numa lembrança da infância, sonhou, sentiu o sol a despertar, ouviu vozes, não conseguia acordar, preso na própria mente, não ouviu-os, angustiado, aflito em gritos surdos dentro de si mesmo, sentiu que o carregavam e então dormiu um sono sem sonho, coagido, forçado, e não ouviu mais vozes até acordar, preso.<br />
Para passar o tempo revia na cabeça os clássicos da literatura de sua época, cantava poemas e criava outros tão magníficos durante a febre da loucura que foi um desperdício para todo o mundo que ninguém o tivesse registrado, anotou na areia formulas matemáticas que mudariam a visão de todos sobre tudo, dali, naquela cela triangular, numa praia vazia, registrou movimentos planetários fora de sincronia, percebeu dali riscando como um vadio a areia a matéria negra que regia a espaço, calculou o espaço do espaço, observou e chorou a água subir e o vento arrastar seus números e códigos para o infinito mar imperial. Dúvidas! oh dúvidas! Me deixais aqui lavado a te querer mortal.<br />
Centenas ou milhares de anos se passaram, bode com sino, devaneios, masturbação, ciência, matemática, masturbação, física, teorias de um sistema sem reino, baseado em um trabalho não forçado, mas que forçava a caminhar à frente, dormia, acordava, e sonhava o futuro, não possuía mais a raiva comodista dos presos, ele continha o futuro, e o futuro tinha cheiro de acordar bem cedo&#8230; logo o cedo, que não fazia sentido algum para sua atemporalidade.<br />
Coisas aconteciam a sua volta, houve algo como festas, mas mais pareciam rituais religiosos de uma adoração ao sol, como as que ele viu quando visitava faraós. As pessoas estavam mudando e ele permanecia ali, viu enterros, batizados de um povo inteiro, desalento de nações. Não via mais o menino do poema, mas creu que aquela prisão o tornava imortal, a pior carceragem para uma mente tão intensa. Secou ao sol e teve a pele rachada por semanas numa época em que a chuva teimou em não cair, tentou por vezes cavar ate achar um fundo, mas a cela era feita de tal forma que não havia como tirar muito de um lado sem que o lado mais cheio começasse a cair sobre o vazio. Gritou até perder os sentidos, num sonho foi abraçado por uma grega nua, de seios enormes, olhos de mel, ela lhe contava historias fantásticas enquanto lhe acariciava as mãos, ele deitado de costas para ela, sobre ela, enamorados, ela então arrancava-lhe as unhas, ele não sentia dor, depois das unhas vieram os cabelos, fio por fio, dente por dente, os pêlos do corpo, um olho, a língua, ele continuava deitado ouvindo histórias sobre viagens às estrelas e uma paz infinita sobre a inteligência humana, ela abriu-lhe o umbigo e foi retirando tudo aos poucos, separava com cuidado ao lado do corpo, ele apetecia chorar, ela dizia que ele colaborara, desenhou para ele barcos iluminados que viajariam os céus, ele perguntou num pensamento sobre as guerras, ela se encabulou e o deitou na areia, mostrou-lhe seus órgãos, explicou como cada um funcionava, mas ele já os conhecia, ela lhe mostrou então as mudanças evolutivas que sofreríamos para nos adaptar ao universo, lhe explicou o universo, ele ainda perguntava da guerra, ela lhe retirou com cuidado o outro olho e assentou o preso com delicadeza pra dormir, ele ficou deitado, pensando, refletindo, imaginativo, com curiosidade, como seria a face do todo universo?<br />
Uma maré alta o deixou boiando por 2 semanas, a água não recuava, o mar não a engolia de volta, queria matar-lo, ainda não era cheio o suficiente para que despontasse, puxou pra si uma concha e boiando dentro da cela de lousas negras e lisas, narrou sua vida e descobertas, guardou dentro daquela concha os segredos de civilizações já extintas, revelou ao mundo fases de um sol sem perdão, e um extinção indispensável a evolução, deixou registrado tudo o quanto pode, nesses anos inteiros não perdera nada dentro da imensidão de seus pensamentos, informou tudo a todos, era o seu dever, era o que a grega de seios enormes queria, mas as 2 semanas sem comer o matara aos poucos, ele foi afundando na água, com a concha na mão, quando o mar recuou, jogaram pétalas e leite sobre seu corpo, choravam lagrimas sinceras, o imortal da prisão se fora, removeram as paredes, o menino da poesia maia ainda era um menino. Que tempo era aquele? Pertencia à quem? Corria de que lado para que lado? Fugia?<br />
Na maré alta seguinte, o mar adulou até levar o corpo abdicado daquela mente extravagante, a água amoleceu a mão e a concha se desatou, açoitou o fundo do mar, contou as outras conchas as chaves sagradas do intocado, uma passou a outra, a outra pra outra, e elas estão todas ai, todas com demasiado segredo, se jogando aos nossos pés, almejando nos expor o desabafo do imortal, numa língua extinta, de um morto esquecido.</span></p>
