Twisted Roots
Next to well-known Café Rustica and tucked just inside the LyonsHead Gallery is the lovely Twisted Roots Winery. It’s a unique place to visit, in that you can order food from Café Rustica to munch on in the winery’s courtyard, or meander around inside Lyons Head and check out all of the interesting artwork. And then there’s the wine tasting, of course. Winemaker Josh Ruiz is producing some excellent wines and he’ll be happy you’re there to try some.

Playing God
Can epigenetics help us control our genes?
Babewatch
Most often, drinking and hanging out inspires very little besides more drinking and hanging out. For the band Babewatch, however, it inspired a song … about drinking and hanging out. “Guys Hanging Out” was the first song they ever wrote, and it was exactly what they were doing when they wrote it.

UCSC hosts 20th Fall Harvest Festival, plus impressive airport eats and an Olive Festival Few of us need much of an excuse to wander the atmospheric 30-acre organic farm up at UCSC. But if you need one, there’s the 20th annual Fall Harvest Festival coming up, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 12....
Hump Days
Camels and landscapes shine in ‘Tracks,’ the true story of an outback trek In an extremely good adaptation of Robyn Davidson’s 1976 memoir Tracks, director John Curran (The Painted Veil) flaws his work by trying to settle a question: why would a woman set out on a 1700-mile walk, over some of the harshest terrain on...

Smang Thang
Ranking the glorious absurdity of music videos by YouTube sensation Turquoise Jeep Oddball rap crew Turquoise Jeep are not Tim and Eric characters, though that might be hard to believe. With their use of obviously fake facial hair, wigs, bizarre sexual metaphors and deliberately terrible graphics, some of their videos look exactly like Tim and Eric...
Truth Be Told
Singer-songwriter Jeffrey Foucault fights against the musical grind, in search of authenticity Jeffrey Foucault gets called an “old soul” a lot. Maybe it’s because the singer-songwriter’s music sounds like it could have been written in the 1940s; maybe it’s because he looks kind of old-timey. Whatever it is, Foucault doesn’t pay too much attention to it....
Why Not Commons?
Newly finished Walnut Commons is a Santa Cruz experiment in cohousing For Cecile Andrews, living at Santa Cruz’s new cohousing project Walnut Commons is a lot like being back in college. There are neighbors in close proximity, shared community meals, and generally always something happening. “There are people to talk to, and they're not just superficial...

Playing God
Can epigenetics help us control our genes? Like most mammals, human beings aren’t born with an individualized instructions for care manual. As a species studying itself, we’ve come to know an incredible amount about how our bodies and minds work—but we’re still making new discoveries every day in genetics and the human microbiome.
