Pedroncelli Winery is to Sonoma County what the Golden Gate Bridge is to San Francisco, a bridge to the past and the future, only, the Pedroncelli Winery has been around a few years longer and houses the oldest tasting room in Dry Creek Valley. Good things tend to stand the test of time and this local family winery is proof that, with motivation, determination and a family committed to their craft, not even an event like Prohibition can rattle them from their roots. With John Pedroncelli, Sr. still a regular presence at the winery, the adult Pedroncelli’s working out of offices that were once childhood bedrooms and the fourth generation moving up the ranks to take over the winery, this is indeed a very special place. As a family winery that has farmed for over 80 years in the Dry Creek Valley, one of the highest priorities at Pedroncelli is to protect their vineyards and the environment for the generations to come. By practicing sustainable wine growing, reducing water usage, building healthy soil and protecting the vineyard environment, their comprehensive approach to farming improves not only the lives of their children but also the quality of their wine. Best known for their Mother Clone Zinfandel, a Zin that was cloned from the original Mother Vineyard planted in 1904, the Pedroncelli’s have developed a vast portfolio of over 15 award-winning California and Italian varietals at very affordable prices. Add to that a Vintage Port made from original Porto grapes and you …

TRADITIONAL STORY FROM FIJI TELLING THEIR ORIGINS AVAILABLE TO READ BELOW. NO WESTERN THEORIES ARE PRESENTED HERE—ONLY THE FACTUAL, TRADITIONAL EVIDENCE FROM THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES. Dr. Runoko Rashidi is a Historian who was respectful enough to visit the Fiji islands and ask the indigenous Fijians themselves about their oral traditions of where they came from. This oral tradition is eagerly and disrespectfully attempted to be dismissed as POSSIBLY being a hoax by Western linguists and anthropologists, supposedly started by the missionaries in the 1800′s, even though the claim is without sufficient evidence. Meanwhile, the scientific industry still continues to ignore and hush Fijian accounts while replacing it with a fabrication of carefully selected and carefully omitted genetic, cultural, linguistic, and archeological data, in an attempt to carefully piece together a false “South East Asian Origin” that appears credible; while genetic, cultural, linguistic, and archeological data linking them to the rest of Cushite peoples in Africa, are neglected, hushed, and hidden safely away in the lower bunkers of European Museums. There are MANY versions of the Fijian account that mention places of origin and In Africa many of us still know those places. Here is one version of the story told to me by Fijians who have been careful to keep it. 1ST ARRIVALS: Boat= Rogovoka/Lolopeau (From Egypt) “This boat/canoe belonged to the Yavusa Malea who also named the boat for themselves as …

Speakers: Dr Sarah Churchwell; Alan Hudson; David Goodhart; Roger Scruton Chair: Dolan Cummings We have an ambivalent attitude to the past today. We value novelty, and flatter ourselves on our supposedly fast-moving world. The idea of conserving the ideas and institutions of the past is unfashionable: even Conservative Prime minister David Cameron talks about ‘vanguard communities’ rather than traditional ones. At the same time, few would endorse the Khmer Rouge’s notorious ‘Year Zero’ attitude to history, rejecting the relevance of the past in favour of a blinkered determination to build a new society from scratch. So why does the past matter? The cliché has it that if we don’t learn from history we are doomed to repeat it. But this seems to reduce history to a series of cautionary tales, and surely betrays a naïve view of how the world works. In George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, the all-powerful Party declares ominously that, ‘Who controls the past controls the future’, pointing to a more cynically instrumental role for history. Crucially, the slogan also acknowledges implicitly that history is never a straightforward record of the past, but at least in part reflects the politics of the present. As another cliché reminds us, ‘History is written by the victors’. Nonetheless, the very acknowledgement that there are winners (and losers) is a nod to the reality of objective historical facts. History brings together the stark realities of the past with the often …

As it has for many years, The University of Iowa Tuba-Euphonium Ensemble braved the elements to perform holiday favorites for a chilled but enthusiastic crowd on the last day of fall semester classes. The Dec. 11 concert carried on a years-old tradition that includes University and community members. The performance takes place on the steps of the Old Capitol (although it moved to the steps of Macbride Hall in the years immediately following the Old Capitol fire). In addition to performing the usual mix of season favorites, along with such holiday tuba classics as Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer and Underdog, the group teamed up with Toys for Tots to collect toys for children in need.

Building New Social Relations: Prefigurative Politics in Movements Chair: Andrew Cornell, American Studies, New York Univeristy Chris Dixon, History of Consciousness, University of California, Santa Cruz Cindy Milstein, Institute for Anarchist Studies Deborah Gould, Sociology, University of Pittsburth Harjit Sing Gill, Institute for Anarchist Studies The term prefigurative politics is widespread within various activist movements, and it describes modes of organization and tactics undertaken that accurately reflect the future society being sought by the group. The IWW and other anarchist activists refer to this as “building a new world in the shell of the old.” If a group is aiming to eliminate class distinctions, prefigurative politics demands that there be no class distinctions within that group. The same principle applies to hierarchy: if a group is fighting to abolish some or all forms of hierarchy in larger society, prefigurative politics demands they do the same within their group structure. Cindy Milstein is an anarchist activist and educator who talks at various anarchist and socialist gatherings. One such talk was the very informal but in-depth class, “Anarchism 101″ at the National Conference on Organized Resistance, at the American University in Washington DC, in 2003 and 2004. (See the NCOR Web site for other talks by Milstein each year, including in the new Radical Theory Track.) Milstein’s presentation covers the philosophical roots of anarchism and its …
