The Future of Fitness
Finding the Power of Motivation in Your Community
The number of fitness gadgets available today continues to skyrocket — it has been estimated that one in ten American adults now use some sort of activity tracker or app designed to monitor their level of physical activity. Only time will reveal whether having more gadgets produces any lasting changes in our overall fitness habits. But there's still a time-tested motivator that's proven itself more powerful than any technology — the human connection.
Encouraging Healthy Living
Long known as a city where the active lifestyle is not just available, but celebrated, Park City supports more than a wide array of sports and activities. From young aspiring athletes to weekend warriors, retirees and everyone in between, there's an amazing network of people who support and encourage each other in a daily, yet lifelong, quest for their best physical health.
Park City's extensive, award-winning Parks and Recreation Department has made sure that its year-round facilities, classes and an impressive system of parks and outdoor trails keep the tradition going. The Basin Recreation Center's recent renovation and expansion is just one example of Park City's commitment to consistently improve and update its offerings all around the city, as well as providing invaluable opportunities for both locals and visitors to connect.
Inspiring By Example
As an avid triathlete, personal trainer, instructor, founder of a new fitness initiative, and mother of three, Whitney White Kozlowski understands the strength a community provides. For the past five years, she has spearheaded one of Basin Recreation's most successful programs, Mom's Power Hour. Often drawing together 50 or more moms to exercise with their kids in tow, this inspiring class is a mix of cardio, drills, strength training and core work.
"What it's created is what I call a 'momraderie,' with a group of moms in different social circles all around town with kids of different ages," explains Kozlowski. "The workout is hard and it's challenging, but they're there for so much more. They're there to see other people, to challenge themselves, and to have their kids witness the importance of fitness at a young age." The magic of Power Hour happens outside at Matt Knoop Park among the beauty of the mountains for as much of the year as possible, then indoors at Basin Rec.
Her newest fitness initiative, the Beau Collective, brings together teams of 12 people for a 12-week high-intensity training course at Hotel Park City. Its exciting format incorporates not just a challenging fitness program, but also fun social events, speakers and the involvement of local businesses.
Members work as a team to push each other out of their physical comfort zones to new levels of fitness and personal success.
Kozlowski believes, "We elevate our efforts, dig deeper and request more of ourselves when we are part of something…and we return day after day when it's unique, fun, and we see results."
Motivation is Contagious
Megan Olsen is another big believer in the extra power of motivation that comes from those around you. Whether you see her training clients in Park City's parks, running a trail, going on a bike ride with her daughter, or teaching a class such as her dynamic, power-building Strength Hour
at Basic Rec, she's sure to be sharing her energy and passion for fitness within her community.
Everyone experiences those days when it feels nearly impossible to drag yourself to the gym or class. Olsen believes the strength of a supportive community, and looking forward to seeing people you care about, makes a huge difference in the achievement of fitness goals. It also contributes to the success of her tried and true 10-minute rule: "If you can just give it 10 minutes, your adrenaline starts going, endorphins are releasing, and you're so glad you started your workout. I want clients to remember how good it feels when they're finished."
"Exercise should be a stress reliever, not an added stress in your life," says Olsen. "I used to have a different idea about exercise. It was something like, 'I'm not jumping off this elliptical machine until I burn 800 calories.' That type of thinking makes fitness more of a chore you have to do, and most people don't enjoy or stick to a plan like that." Instead, Olsen now asks herself and her clients to focus on how great they feel after their workout.
She also understands the importance of recovery time. Olsen believes in exercising hard and efficiently, but then knowing when to take a rest day, "When you put your body under stress, even if it's a good stress like exercise, it needs time to recover and repair." She usually recommends the 2-1-3-1 method, a pattern of exercising two days, resting one, then exercising three days and resting another.
Discovering Strength in Numbers
A study published in the American Journal of Health Behavior reports that exercising with others not only helps to decrease feelings of fatigue and increase energy, but it can even increase the intensity of your workout session. Whether it's the spirit of healthy competition, or simply because it's human nature to try to keep up with those around us, exercising with a group can make a big difference in the amount of effort we exert.
"I never fully understood the 'I just can't find the time to exercise' excuse in quite the same way as I did after becoming a mother of two," explains Olsen. "But finding others in the community in your same position makes it so much easier to draw support, encouragement and accountability from each other."
Kozlowski explains how finding strength in numbers means creating a strong base and community across all her endeavors, whether it's private training, classes or group training sessions, "I believe that's really the most important component. Once you have that, then anything is possible. Many times people don't realize what they are made of until they have other people there to push them along." On her new website (thebeaucollective.com), look for loads of inspiration and a new favorite quote: "If you sign up for the hard stuff, then the hard stuff in life that you don't sign up for gets easier."

Poll: Who is Chelsea's most important player?
By Jack Goodson Aug 4, 2009, 1:59am BST
Share All sharing options for: Poll: Who is Chelsea's most important player?
I don't know if you heard, but there was this small announcement a couple of weekends ago from England's Brave John Terry. JT committed himself to the Chelsea cause after minor flirtation -- which he denies for some odd reason -- with the idea of joining the Manchester City empire.
Now, former Blue Mateja Kezman has chimed in on the subject via an exclusive interview with skysports.com.
Says the man who netted just seven times in 27 appearances during his one forgettable campaign at Chelsea:
"I was in no doubt that he would stay because I know how much he loves the club and I know his spirit about the club," Kezman said. "I was sure that he would stay all the time.
"It was very important because he is the most important player there, even with the stars like (Frank) Lampard and (Didier) Drogba he is the number one because he is somebody who keeps all the players together.
"He is the gaffer in the dressing room, the big boss you know, and also a very good person so he is an important guy. His character gives a lot to Chelsea all the time."
This begs the question: Why the hell would I listen to Mateja Kezman?
More over, it brings up an interesting point: Is John Terry Chelsea's most important player? Better yet, who is Chelsea's most important player.
I, for one, don't believe it is EBJT -- but that's just me. Let me know what you think, people.


Downtown Linton Redevelopment is an ongoing project to improve and revitalize downtown Linton by re-purposing its existing buildings and bringing more residents and merchants to the area, taking it back to its thriving center from the coal boom days. Look to this site for continued updates as to The Plan's progress and opportunities for property leasing.

Best New Singles: Late January/Early February | Feature
Liz takes a look at the latest and most importantly – the best new singles released from some of the finest artists around!
WARS – Scorn and Fidelity
WARS' latest single Scorn and Fidelity is a guttural, rifftastic piece that combines melody, giving a perfect taste of their new record As Within //// So Without!
Lizzy Farrall – Barbados
Lizzy Farrall is back with a brand new bop in new single Barbados! The track focuses on unrequited love but instead of being a downcast melody, we are treated to a track that will get you moving!
InVisions – Too Little Too Late
InVisions' latest single Too Little Too Late is the heaviest track they have ever done and is a brilliant entry into their huge second album Between Me & You (February 8, Stay Sick Recordings).
Guitarist Lucas Gabb explains the themes: "Thematically it deals with something we have all experienced which is two faced people who lie and deceive everyone around them. It takes a look at these character traits and acts as a wake up call to these people, making them realise the effect this has on themselves and the people around them"
Novacub – I Still Need It
London quartet Novacub have revealed their new single I Still Need It through LAB Records! The catchy pop track has a darker meaning behind it as frontwoman Louise Bartle explains: "I Still Need It is about a failing relationship in my life – feeling someone slip away and questioning my own feelings in the process. There's a mix of desperation and anger that still takes me back to that moment"
Brightlight City – Feast On Fire
Brit rockers Brightlight City unveiled their new single Feast On Fire at the end of January! The track is the first taste of their debut album, more details on that to be released soon!
Sevendust – Risen
US rockers Sevendust have revealed their new single Risen! The accompanying visual was filmed live at the Brixton O2 Academy on the band's recent UK tour!
Shadows Like Strangers – The Art Of Falling Down
Nottingham rock quartet Shadows Like Strangers have revealed their new single The Art Of Falling Down! The track is the second from their debut album CALI!
Vocalist/guitarist Jezza Bruce explains:
"The Art Of Falling Down is a song about overcoming struggles to reach your goals. Finding a purpose or someone that gives you focus when all seems lost. We often share our journeys and it's nice to that you can help a person that once pulled you back from the edge."
TOREADOR – Ashes
Southampton trio TOREADOR have landed with their debut single Ashes! The track has seen early comparisons to the likes of Queens Of The Stone Age, Led Zeppelin and Rage Against The Machine!
Frontman Jack Wilson explains of the track: "Ashes originally came from an idea of wanting to write a heavier track that people could still dance to—we wanted to create a track that really bounces. Lyrically it's about a relationship between two totally incompatible people, and how sometimes it's better to just cut your losses and walk away."

Thought I'd pop in today and give those who care to know a little briefing on how we spent our Christmas holiday.
We kicked the week off by taking Melissa and her two kids to a brunch and Santa visit at John's golf club.
I don't think one ever outgrows the pleasure of picking and choosing the bits for one's own plate, do you?
Caleb had said, "I hope you don't think I'm going to sit on his lap!" and then the second Santa lifted a welcoming arm the boy plopped right down. :-)
This year I said it and I meant it--gifts for the little guys only. I made 3 out of the 4 and felt good about having done that. For the girls I made ballet/dance bags. Kadence is already enrolled and Madison will be starting in January. I had fun shopping for the stuff to go inside, too.
The two coordinating fabrics are Japanese imports and the scallop pink trim is a vintage find. L.O.V.E. it.
The pindot letters are actually a deep brown to match the bag. The handles were found at Superbuzzy. Madison's is the second one I made and it wasn't until then that I realized I needed to quilt a batting to it as an inside layer which helps keep it's shape better.
I do like it a lot better than without quilting but it does add a couple three hours to the job. I also like to put a piece of 7 squares to the inch plastic cross stitch sheeting in the bottom. The girls seemed pleased. Their moms--even more so. :-)
Caleb and I headed down south to visit family for most of the week leading up to Christmas. We were in Walgreen's when he saw the Snuggys and realized he still had ten bucks left. I don't know which makes him dorkier--how excited he got about being able to buy one or the fact that he calls it a 'Snoogie'--(or why he thinks this pose is cool) but we love him just the same.
Christmas weekend was about as lowkey as I can ever remember it being, but it was perfect just the way it was. Our two older girls didn't come up so it was just the two younger girls who live local with our four grandkids.
Kate brought Jaxson and Kadence over for a few hours on Christmas Eve. Here's 'the boys' clowning around.
"DO THE ROAR!!"
This is what I made for Jaxson, who turned one earlier this month.
You may remember when I posted this one almost three years ago. I was so in love with the wooden cars and planes that I'd found at Daiso in the bay area, I'd have sworn I bought enough vehicles and fabric panels for two more. Turned out I had the vehicles but could only find one panel! Ack. I searched and searched for it online but it was from 2007 and I just couldn't find another. I thought I was 'settling' for this one but it turns out I kinda like it even more!
Pretty cute, huh? And they're still available. I got mine here.
My mother, God bless her, stitched the binding for me on this one plus a Christmas comforter I made for a friend while we were there visiting. I hate that part! She is a quilter extraordinaire and was so impressed with my elementary machine stitching! I think it looks quite childish, but I guess with the whimsical nature of the print and the fact that I stitched the bejeeezus out of it (took about three days off and on) it turned out okay.
The girls seemed to get into the play aspect of it more than little Jaxson did--seen here proving why they say "For ages 3+" on little toys with parts. :-)
So where were we....Oh, Christmas Eve. Here's a cute series of shots of the two siblings who like each other and are always nice to each other; Jaxson and Kadence.
Their mom Kate said, "Kadence...open your eyes!" so then I got this shot
Which made us all laugh
So cute. I love it when they start developing a sense of humor.
The next morning Melissa invited us over to her place for breakfast and the opening of presents. Was kind of weird, not to be at our house, but was kind of cool too--being able to pop in, enjoy the warmth and merriment, (and yummy breakfast Melissa cooked) and then pop back home!
Oh--here's a fun side story. A couple weeks ago I accompanied Melissa to her work Christmas Party. She works for Blue Lake Casino and Hotel and they probably employee over 300 people. She had been voted Employee of the Month earlier this year. I just had the funniest feeling that she'd be announced as employee of the year. And she was! Such an exciting moment...so proud of her. Then after dinner they were drawing names for all sorts of cool door prizes and she won an xbox w/kinect! YAY! She was definitely the star of the night. :-)
The first thing she said when she opened it was, "My son is going to be so happy!" I personally didn't agree that it should be HIS gift...I thought better to call it a family gift so he's better at sharing with lil sis but who listens to me?
So flash forward--Caleb is pretty sure he's going to get a 'tablet' (a cheaper version of an i-Pad) and sure enough, that's what his two sets of grandparents had pitched in and got him. Gave it to him on Christmas Eve and he was quite happy about it but for all he knew, the good part was over. Yet there was this largish, quite heavy box under the tree at mom's house with his name on it. hmmm. His mom about had him convinced it was a box of bricks with underwear. John said it was probably a bowling ball.
I honestly don't think he's ever been that surprised.
And his mom was SO happy to be the source of his happiness that she just stood there in tears. It was cool.
At my insistence, Caleb used half of his allowance saved from the last few months to buy gifts for other people this year. The 'other people' ended up being his papa and his mom, but that's a start. ;-)
The rest of the morning was spent trying to be nice AND quiet while papa set up the xbox
and giving a little fashion/dance show in the new leotards (those are cow mittens on her feet).
And that brings us to present. Getting ready to say goodbye to 2011. 2010 was hard because I lost my dad and my sister. This year John lost his dad and his brother. Fingers and toes are crossed that everyone we know and love stays healthy and alive this year! (so glad you're home and on a path toward outliving us all, Mom. LOVE you).
xo, jen

Johnny Cash's Lost Love Song
She Used to Love Me a Lot' is vintage Man in Black
By James Sullivan
January 13, 2014 9:00 AM ET
The Eighties were not kind to the great Johnny Cash. "It was the 'Urban Cowboy' phase,'" Cash's son, John Carter Cash, recently recalled. "It was pop country, and Dad was not that."
10 Things You Didn't Know About Johnny Cash
As the story goes, it took an unlikely pairing (with hip-hop and metal producer Rick Rubin) to right the Man in Black's career. After years of neglect, Cash spent his last decade soaking up the adulation that had pretty much eluded him since the Seventies. During those lost years in between, he hit some undeniable low points; in desperation, he was somehow talked into cutting a novelty single titled "The Chicken in Black." But it wasn't all bleak, as a newly uncovered, previously unreleased album makes plain.
See Johnny Cash and More of Rock's Biggest Rebels
Not long before Columbia Records dropped him from the only label he'd known since 1960, Cash recorded an LP called Out Among the Stars. He hung onto the master tapes, which John Carter recently found among a huge stash of Johnny and wife June Carter's effects. The album, due out March 25th, features duets with June and his old friend Waylon Jennings. John Carter hand-picked the track "She Used to Love Me a Lot," a stout, twangy ballad of regret colored by the mandolin of a young Marty Stuart, to release ahead of the album.
Why Johnny Cash Is One of the Greatest Singers Ever
"I really love this song," he tells Rolling Stone. "The depth that's there reminds me of the real serious stuff that Dad did later in his life. And I truly think it's one of the beautiful undiscovered gems in my dad's catalog."

Republicans In Congress Are RINO's Acting Like Imbeciles
Whenever my birthday rolls around, I get nostalgic and sentimental. When I think about growing up in New Jersey, invariably I think about politics, because my parents and me and my siblings were so entrenched in the Republican party.
As I observe the GOP today, I really believe with each passing day, that most Republicans in Washington today are "Republicans In Name Only" (RINO's). The 20th century GOP that I knew bears no resemblance to the party that exists currently. Republicans in Congress behave like imbeciles that have no interest in doing anything constructive.
Republicans in the Senate have demanded changes to the immigration reform legislation, so that border security is airtight, and no one can cross the border from the south. This demand will cost upwards of $30 billion dollars a year, when the number of immigrants entering the US from Mexico is a negative number! These same Senators claim that we need to reduce government spending, as they demand more spending for this bill, which is wasteful and an outrage! In the next breath the GOP wants to cut $20 billion dollars from food stamps. It's better that people go hungry in their eyes.
Back in the olden days - - - well not that long ago really, the Republican party believed in public service, and that government could be a force for good. The GOP was known as the "party of Lincoln," because they fought for racial equality, and didn't believe that the impoverished should go hungry, and authored legislation that mandated affirmative action in government hiring and college admissions.
It was Republicans who started the Environmental Protection Agency after a catastrophic oil spill devastated the Santa Barbara Coast, and Co2 emissions obscured the urban skylines with pollution so bad that you couldn't tell if a building was 4 stories high or a 60 floor skyscraper.
The Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare) was a Republican idea that Democrats in Congress, with President Obama, adopted when the GOP decided to disown the legislation. This same party was once driven by the idea that government could offer an outstretched hand to a family having hard times, because when the family got back on their feet, they would work hard and pay taxes, which was giving back to the government and contributing to the economy.
When Republicans lost the popular vote in the 5th national election for president out of the last 6, the few intelligent people still in the party, acknowledged that the GOP had to change, and that they had to stop talking about rape, and alienating women. They said they had to be more kind to undocumented immigrants. They said they had to do better outreach to people of color, and they acknowledged that gay marriage was inevitable, and they should build a bigger tent that was more tolerant.
Two years ago, in June of 2011, I wrote about what Republicans were up to in Congress, and noted how divisive they were then, and also discussed growing up in the Republican party. How much has changed in 2 years?
The Republicans I knew were fairly easy to support, because they stood for things like clean air and cleaning up the environment, and they supported many libertarian ideas about less government and less government regulation. They supported a woman's right to choose, promoted affirmative action and civil rights for all, and they believed in taking care of senior citizens, and the poor and less fortunate. They viewed government as an entity that was good, and effective, and a force for positive change.
Today they're the political party known for hate, as they detest LGBT citizens, and they have hawkish views on war. Republicans created the largest budget deficits in the history of our country, and started culture wars with women, gays, and minorities, while they employed inflammatory rhetoric around equal rights and marriage equality, to fan the flames of hatred. They did this to encourage alleged Christians and evangelical voters to show up at the polls, to vote Republican and advance their cause. This is NOT the party of Abraham Lincoln!
The blame for the mortgage and banking crisis can be attributed to both parties, with the multi-trillion dollar corporate welfare that Congress allocated to corrupt wall street investment banks, on both parties backs.
Aside from the awful culture wars, the biggest travesty is the fact that Republicans want to cut taxes further, and in order to "pay" for this tax cut, and appear to reduce the federal deficit, they want to make substantial cuts in education, hospice care, student loan programs, Medicaid and Medicare.
The GOP believes it's OK to give wall street trillions, but tells the unemployed, senior citizens, the hungry, students, the disabled, and the impoverished, to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. They say the disadvantaged don't have clout, so they don't care about you and me.
Those same words could describe the Republican Congress today, just like two years ago. The only reason I mention it, is to illustrate that nothing has changed at all.
It's pathetic that nothing has changed in Washington, DC, and I wonder what has to happen, in order for Americans to wake up and do something about it.
The problem isn't Barack Obama, the problem lies with Republicans in Congress.
Are the American people ready to send the Republicans a message in 2014? I hope so - because I'm beyond ready.
Today's GOP is insane.

"Who is the man, and who is the woman, in the relationship" she asked out loud!
A Gay Marriage Parable
I was up at the crack of dawn last Thursday here in California, because I wanted to hear the Supreme Court's decision in the two gay marriage cases, as the world learned about them. I'm not a morning person by any stretch of the imagination, but made sure that I was awake before 6:00am.
The terrific and informative SCOTUS Blog --- live blogs from the Court on decision days, so I joined thousands of others on their website, as they live blogged from the Court, and relayed each decision to their huge online audience, as they were announced.
I was disappointed that the Court didn't announce their ruling in Hollingsworth v. Perry, and United States v. Windsor, like everyone else. I also knew that if they didn't announce the decisions last Thursday, that the Court would make the announcement this week (on Monday June 24th or Thursday June 27th).
I remember the first time the notion of gay marriage – or marrying one's gay partner – entered my conscience.
The Supreme Court in the state of Hawai'i had ruled in 1996 that the state discriminated against same-sex couples by denying them a marriage license, under the state's equal protection clause. The court didn't mandate that gay marriage was a fundamental right that the state had to recognize, but they did order the state legislature to study and address the issue with the appropriate legislation.
News of the Hawai'i Supreme Court ruling was like a shot heard 'round the world, a mere decade and a half ago.
"Marry a boyfriend?" Right. And I suppose Tinkerbell will be the maid of honor. "Two girlfriends marrying?" Only if Joan Armatrading provides the music. "Marry a gay partner?" Whatever hallucinogenic drug you're on, I wanna go on the same trip man, please share. "Two lesbians walking down the aisle to get married?" Are you kidding me? Are the Harley's in the wedding party too? Anyone hearing these scenarios had the same reaction, not bloody likely to happen. Ever.
I thought it was funny, and somebody was pulling my leg, because it was a practical joke. Even when every news outlet reported it, I dismissed the news as a gimmick that would never be.
In the late 1990's commitment ceremonies were just starting to be the rage. A gay couple would make a commitment to each other as life partners, and have a ceremony to reaffirm that commitment in front of friends and family. The couple would send out invitations to the ceremony (think wedding). A priest, pastor or rabbi, would officiate and offer the relationship a blessing, and a big party would follow the ceremony (think wedding reception).
I was ambivalent about commitment ceremonies. I thought that a commitment ceremony was too hetero-normative, and couldn't comprehend why any gay couple would want to emulate a "straight" wedding, or a "straight" relationship.
I went to a commitment ceremony that was lovely in every way, it was fun, and I was genuinely happy for my two friends. What I found alarming and disarming, was that a woman seated next to me at the "party" asked me an idiotic question, out loud (which meant that everyone at the table heard it).
She said that she was "curious" about the happy gay couple's committed relationship, and wanted to know "who was the woman in the relationship, and who was the man." And I said "seriously? That's your question? That's easy to answer. Which one is wearing new Manolo Blahnik pumps? That will tell you who the woman is."
She turned around in her chair and looked at the couple, who were talking to guests at the next table, and craned her neck to look at their shoes and was disappointed that she didn't see a pump.
That wasn't the first time I heard that question, and it wasn't the last time either. The woman seemed both sincere and dumb, and I knew there was no malice intended. I was still offended though. She believed that a gay man in a committed relationship would close the door and turn into Lyndsay Wagner herself, the real "Bionic Woman" who could do everything. Because only a relationship that had a man and a woman, or a man masquerading as a woman, was a viable and valid relationship.
I found the question offensive, and since I abhor conflict, I mumbled and fumbled and stumbled, before I could offer a real and honest answer.
I tried to explain that gay relationships didn't comport with the straight married stereotypes we see portrayed in popular culture. Ozzie and Harriet and Leave it to Beaver were before my time, but weren't before her time, and I knew enough about them to remind her that they were fiction. I tried to stress that gay relationships aren't cookie cutter, and don't fit a stereotype. I said that no one was "the woman." I realized she didn't get it when she asked me to define stereotype, and that was when I gave up.
The clueless and sincere nice woman didn't get it, so she stared at the couple's shoes all night. She was waiting for the woman in the relationship to reveal herself. It was as if she believed that the "female" guy in the relationship was going to click his heels together 3 times, and a pair of Manolo's would magically appear on her feet.
Twelve states officially recognize our non-traditional relationships and marriages, and there's no question that our nation is marching toward full marriage equality, and I don't feel ambivalent about gay marriage. In fact, I've evolved and feel quite strongly that it's a moral imperative for every state to recognize gay marriages.
Gay marriage is about love, as well as the over 1,100 rights afforded to straight married couples. Marriage is sanctioned by each state because of the laws inherent in their state Constitution. Marriage is not defined by scripture, or religion, or even Congress, or by me.
There are lots of straight people who still wonder who the man is in a gay relationship, and who the woman is, and there's not too much that we can do about that --- except to be patient when we're asked the ignorant question, and honest when we proffer an answer.
Since the Supreme Court will be announcing their historic decision in both cases this week, it's important to remember that if they rule against us, at the very least...things will remain the same as they are today.
If they rule in our favor, it will be a different and more welcoming world that we wake up to the next day, and there will be dancing in the streets and the sheets, with hopeful beats, in every city and town across the country.
Whether we win or lose, I know that more people will be emboldened to speak up and live their lives authentically and out loud, and that's a damn good thing.
Live out loud and very very proud is the way it ought to be.

The GOP And Right-Wingers Use Litany Of Lies To Justify Anti-Gay Discrimination
Discrimination in any form is unacceptable and reprehensible, and who knows that better than those of us who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender.
Bullies target us, right-wing extremists belittle us, religious leaders malign us and spread lies about us, while certain politicians think that extending equal opportunities to the LGBT community will confer "special rights" upon us, and infringe on their right to free speech.
Religious leaders falsely claim that outlawing LGBT discrimination will infringe upon their "religious freedom," because bigoted Christians want to be able to continue to denigrate and defame us.
Politicians say that banning LGBT discrimination will impact their "free speech" rights, because they want to be able to bully and slander us, wherever and whenever they see fit.
In 1974 the Equality Act was introduced in Congress, because even then, politicians recognized that the LGBT community was subjected to discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodation, and the bill was meant to address those issues. The bill went nowhere.
In 1994, the focus was narrowed to employment, and the first Employment Non-Discrimination Act was introduced. The legislation prohibited discrimination in hiring and employment on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Needless to say ENDA has never passed both the House and Senate, and there are no federal employment protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender people.
The Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2013 (ENDA) was introduced this past April in the House of Representatives by Rep. Jared Polis (D-CO), and in the Senate by Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR).
The House bill (H.R.1755) currently has 175 co-sponsors (174 Democrats and 1 Republican), and the Senate bill (S.815) currently has 52 co-sponsors (50 Democrats and 2 Republicans).
Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) was asked last week if he would support banning LGBT employment discrimination, and he said "By and large I think all Americans should be protected, but I'm not for any special protections based on orientation." Rubio thinks it's perfectly fine to be fired if you're LGBT.
Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) was also asked last week if he supported making it illegal to fire an employee because they are LGBT, and he replied that "I don't particularly like the federal government telling anybody to do anything."
The Family Besmirch Council, the anti-gay hate group, has created a new website to fight ENDA. They're exercising their right to free speech (though it's wrong speech), and the anti-gay website is filled with abject lies and misinformation.
They falsely assert that ENDA is related to marriage equality, which would be laughable if they were just stupid. They can't win any campaign on the merits, so they falsify information.
ENDA is a "one size fits all" solution to alleged discrimination that erases all marriage-based distinctions. It grants special rights to homosexuals while ignoring those of employers. The federal government should not force private businesses to abandon their moral principles.
In a letter that accompanies the petition they ask their supporters to sign, they continue their false assertions. [emphasis mine]
Please do not tarnish the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement by treating a person's chosen sexual behaviors or their gender self-identification as a protected category in the nation's civil rights laws. The choice to engage in homosexual conduct and the choice to adopt a "transgender" identity (sex change or cross-dressing) are not equivalent to the established (and immutable) protected categories of one's race and biological sex, nor are they protected by the Constitution (as is the freedom of religion, also a protected category).
The Supreme Court of The United States ruled in 2003 (Lawrence v. Texas ) that being gay was legal, and the government couldn't regulate the behavior of 2 consenting adults in the privacy of their home. That's why the country's sodomy statutes were invalidated. That court decision designated the LGBT community as a protected class in the Constitution.
Writing for the majority Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote "The State cannot demean their existence or control their destiny by making their private sexual conduct a crime."
Despite the efforts to demean our existence by some members of Congress, and a large number of errant religious leaders, and fringe right-wing extremists like the Family Besmirch Council, I'm sure that most Americans can recognize that they are mischaracterizing what ENDA is all about.
Republicans in Congress and the Family Besmirch Council are fighting another losing battle.
Whether ENDA is enacted this year or next, it will pass in both houses sooner or later. I hope that it's sooner, because our economic prosperity depends on it.

James Gandolfini - A Brilliant Actor And Loyal Son Of Rutgers Dies At 51
James Gandolfini,51, a brilliant actor who was best known for his role as Tony Soprano in HBO's The Soprano's , died yesterday while visiting Italy with his 13 year old son, Michael. The cause of death has been attributed to an apparent heart attack.
Gandolfini won multiple Emmy Awards, Golden Globes, and Screen Actor's Guild Awards for his outstanding performances playing the family patriarch and mob boss from 1999 - 2007.
He grew up in Park Ridge, in northern New Jersey, and graduated from Park Ridge High School, before enrolling in Rutgers College in New Brunswick, New Jersey. As an alumnus, he was a big supporter of Rutgers football, and the athletics department up until his death.
After graduating from Rutgers, and prior to becoming an actor, James worked for a number of years at the popular Manhattan gay club in the Flatiron district known as Private Eyes. He strongly supported LGBT civil rights, and marriage equality.
This is incredibly sad news, and James' family is in my heart and prayers. I know the Rutgers community was devastated to hear about his death, and as I thought about him last night, I was flooded with fond memories of so many great times spent at Private Eyes.
He will be sorely missed.
RIP James

Why Do News Outlets Not Take Esports Seriously?
By Ahmed Lulat July 9, 2019 July 9, 2019 E-Sports / Featured Articles / Opinions
The dust has finally settled on E3 2019 and it seems everyone (and their dog) is continuing the trend of adding a battle royale or esports compatible mode to their games. I mean, what more could us gamers ask for, right? Either way, whether this is something we want or not is not the problem. The problem comes from major news outlets not covering these eSports events nearly as seriously as they do traditional sports.
Here in the UK, outlets such as BBC Sport and Sky Sports have since made changes to adjust for the shift in popularity of esports, with Sky Sports even headlining the ePremier League alongside other major sporting events on their primary sports channel. However, this is more a case of being too slow to react as opposed to adjusting with the times. Many major news outlets want to start covering esports, but don't really know where to start.

Take the news of Enzo Bonito, a pro esports player, besting the time of an ex-Formula E driver on a real-life racing track. None of the big news outlets, especially the sports ones, even mentioned this in their coverage. Whilst we at Culture of Gaming can proudly say we're one of the few outlets to break news of this. Surely it is not enough.
As a result, I will look into helping us understand why news outlets aren't adopting esports. Whilst also providing more clarification and possible solutions onthe difficulties they have in presenting this information.
When Is a Sport Not a Sport?
Esports, or electronic sports, is the generic term used for organised competitive gaming. Competitive gaming has been around since the inception of gaming in the 70s. But the esports scene has evolved massively since those days. From small scale Tekken tourneys to selling out stadia across the world. Imagine crowds three times the size of a Centre Court Wimbledon match between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, all bouncing to the action. And you get some idea of the scale of a major esport event. Obviously, or rather unfortunately, without the strawberries and cream.
ESL One is one of the oldest and largest esports events. Source: ESL One.
Even after all this, news outlets are still not entirely sure whether they should define esports as sport. According to the Council of Europe charter on sport,
"Sport means all forms of physical activity, which through casual or organised participation, aim at expressing or improving physical fitness and mental well-being, forming social relationships or obtaining results in competition at all levels."
With the oldest definition in the English language stating, "anything humans find amusing or entertaining".
Does esport not match this definition? If not, then what is the defining factor between a technology heavy sport such as Formula 1 and the pub-favourite darts? One primarily uses technology as the basis for competition whilst the other hardly involves any physical activity. But many consider both sport in their own right. And so should esports.
Are We Hungry For Esports?
As we're all aware by now, the crowds at esports events are mahoosive. But, by looking at the bigger picture, does this necessarily correspond to viewership outside of these events?
All we need to do here is look at live viewing figures across streaming services such as Twitch or YouTube. In 2018 alone, esports events drew in an estimated 165 million viewers across these platforms on a consistent basis. With Newzoo predicting that the number of regular viewers will grow to 250 million by 2021, all thanks to an annual growth rate of approximately 14%. Putting all this into context, the biggest sporting event of 2018, The FIFA World Cup, had a global average of 191 million viewers per game.

Additionally, the core demographic of esport audiences are of the Millennial and Gen Z generation, with GlobalWebIndex recognising that 16-34 year olds account for 73% of viewership. This is a very coveted and sought after age bracket for news outlets, especially for those lucrative advertisement deals.
In fact, Statista say total viewership figures have grown from 1.3 billion hours in 2012 to 6.6 billion hours in 2018, correlating with the economic growth of esports. This also correlates with the economic growth of esports. By using viewership, prize money, and advertisement metrics, Statista estimates that esports revenue will grow from 130 million in 2012 to 1.79 billion by the end of 2019. This drastic growth occurring in just under 7 years demonstrates that esports will continue going from strength to strength. Surely this means that esports is the ripest market for news coverage right now.

I Present Thee Esports
Most news outlets will question how to best present esports news. Is it in the form of an article? A video piece? Or do we just talk about it in radio format? However, as mentioned earlier, it appears the beginnings of a solution for presenting esports are already in place.
A recent example of this can be seen in Ginx TV's rise from relative obscurity to becoming one of the leading esports outlets. Ginx TV create their own coverage with talk shows, debates, and documentaries. as well as showcasing content from major esports events, 24/7. Thanks to this type of scheduling, they have acquired a global reach across 50 countries, suiting the differing esports culture in every continent. By learning from this wave of new media, major outlets can better understand the best ways to present esports.

News outlets could start off showing the esports equivalent of the sports coverage that they already show. Most sports will have a video game associated with it which will help to reach an audience already familiar with the esport's competitive aspects. This doesn't even have to be live coverage to begin with, and can be used as a precursor to gauge interest, whilst drumming it up at the same time.
Alongside coverage, news outlets could also present news-related pieces in the same way they are already doing with traditional sports. Esports are easier to showcase than outlets seem to think as they can be covered in a multitude of ways. Whether that be in the form of an article, a video piece, in radio format, or even a combination. All are a successful, tried-and-tested means of covering sports. If it isn't broke, why try and fix it?
It is a shame then that news outlets are struggling to adopt esports in what is, essentially, an astronomic economy. It has the potential for mass reading and viewing figures, but only if given the right push.
Thankfully though, these news outlets aren't set in their ways. And are actively looking to implement esports into their flow of sports coverage. Whether this be currently or by having plans set in place for the future. They are slowly figuring this out, and hopefully sooner rather than later.
Stay tuned to Culture of Gaming for more esports related content, like our article covering the Esports Initiative at UCS! Be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Speaking from experience, trying to keep the reigns on spiralling wedding costs can be almost impossible no matter how hard you try. From well meaning relatives chiming in with their two cents, to venues instantly doubling every price when the word 'wedding' is mentioned, trying to stop the whole thing from becoming a circus instead of the special day it's supposed to be, can feel impossible.
There are a few key areas however, where you can really work to cut costs and pull back some of the control you thought you'd lost.
For what is essentially a piece of card sent in the post with a little 'flourish' of detail, you can easily pay up to £1,000 depending on the design you choose.
Ways round it are roping in poor, unsuspecting friends and family with an artistic bent and asking them to do your invites either for a discount price or as your wedding present.There are plenty of free websites that allow you to mock up and print a template for free. It won't have the same polished finish, sure, but once the day starts people won't ever look at those invitations again.
Alternatively, go digital and create a website for your big day. That way you can save money by sending out cute little postcards with the web address, and keep all the detailed information online.
It really depends what type of bride and groom you are here, but if you are trying to save money on your big day it is really worth taking stock of how much you actually want to spend on a gown or a suit.
Highstreet chains like Asos and Monsoon do stunning bridal dresses for a fraction of the cost of boutiques or designer stores. Buying a beautiful dress doesn't need to cost the earth.
Similarly, bridesmaid and usher costs can also spiral. Having to buy dresses for 3 or 4 girls, all with varying heights, sizes, and tastes can be stressful enough without the hefty price tag. You'll be happy to know that there are a few ways round this too.
One way is to set a colour and a style (ex. navy, mid length, capped sleeves) and then give your bridesmaids all a set amount of money and tell them to go and find their own dresses. It means they will all have slightly different dresses, but they will be able to cater to their own specific tastes, and, if the dress if slightly more expensive than the budget you have set, they can make up the difference with their own money.
Alternatively, you can ask them to buy their own dresses as a wedding present.
You might feel awkward asking people to do this, but as wedding traditions are becoming looser and more flexible, it is getting easier to move away from expensive habits.
It won't come as a surprise that the smaller the guest list, the lower the costs. Keeping a handle on the guest list is actually far more difficult than it sounds, especially if you are from a large family.
It's up to you, obviously, to decide how many people you would like to attend your big day, but don't overstretch yourself financially in order to keep everyone happy.
Don't let people push you into inviting aunt Mabel because she's part of the family, if you haven't seen aunt Mabel since you were 6 and don't know her from Adam. It's not their wedding, it's yours. It can get complicated, especially if you have family members contributing to the costs, but you need to find the balance between keeping people happy and still identifying the wedding as 'your day'.
One way to handle a large extended family is to keep the invitations to each individual family to two people. That way, you play fair across all families and no one can be offended. It means everyone is represented but the list is pared down considerably.
It's one of the key ingredients to a good day. We all know that most people expect free flowing booze all day when they attend a wedding. A lot of venues charge hefty prices for an open bar, or an even bigger corkage fee to stop you bringing your own booze onto the premises.
Depending on who your friends and family are, the alcohol price can become extremely expensive. It is worth looking for venues with a low, or no, corkage fee. If you can secure this then slim down the menu to: beer, wine, and 2 soft drinks.
By keeping it simple you can roll in a few kegs of beer at a good price, and either buy wine at cost price from large warehouses, or spread out the purchasing throughout the year and get the best supermarket discounts as you go. If you do this though, you need a place to store it.
If you can't bring your booze on site then you may need to bite the bullet and tell people that there is a bar, but they will need to pay at some point in the evening. Set the price that you know you can afford to pay, put it behind the bar for your guests, and when it runs out it runs out. People have come to see you get married, no one will begrudge you a few drinks.
Weddings are wonderful days, and there's no getting away from the fact that they are going to cost you a fair sum of money. It's important not to sweat the small stuff though. The people who you invite are supposed to love you - so trust them to have your best interests at heart. Don't let the stress of money and budgeting consume your joy in planning the biggest day of your life!

Dennis Rodman gets emotional discussing Trump and Kim
by Leland Aguilar
in Entertaiment
— Jun 13, 2018
Rodman is perhaps the only person in the world who has personal relationships with both the US President - he participated on Trump's pre-presidency reality TV show, "The Celebrity Apprentice" - and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
That is, of course, correct.
If, as Trump said on Tuesday he sensed, Kim wants the grand bargain of disarmament for economic integration, the personal endorsement from the two leaders on negotiations may be all that counts. Kim is widely believed to have ordered the execution of his own uncle and half-brother.
Trump and Kim Signed Something in Singapore.
The one issue Mr Trump seemed to make clear was that US-South Korea joint military exercises would be suspended while negotiations were ongoing.
"The world will see a major change", he continued through a translator.
Bush forged a deal in 2005, North Korea promised to abandon all of its nuclear weapons programs and return to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. The former refers to dismantling North Korea's nuclear weapon capability, while the latter can include the eventual elimination of the USA nuclear umbrella on the Korean Peninsula. "Maybe in a year you'll be interviewing and I'll say I made a mistake".
Hours earlier as he sat alongside Kim at the signing ceremony, Trump said the two leaders "have developed a special bond" and that after their several hours of talks Tuesday and the signing of the agreement he thinks the US relationship with North Korea "will be very different than in the past".
Trump agreed to end joint U.S.
The optimistic summit was a remarkable change in dynamics from less than a year ago, when Trump was threatening "fire and fury" against Kim, who in turn labelled the President a "mentally deranged United States dotard".
Mr Trump said he urged Mr Kim and other North Korean officials to watch the four-minute video during the Singapore summit. "We're stopping joint exercises for a while to give Kim Jong Un some assurance that we're willing to meet him more than halfway", Graham said.
It was not immediately clear what specific progress, if any, had been made in preliminary discussions between United States and North Korean officials.
But the South Carolina Republican said Trump would face opposition to any move to withdraw American forces from South Korea.
All of this suggests that a wild-card president ― the last thing you want in the sensitive negotiation ― could have created serious problems, and not only for US negotiators, who will now have to iron out the details with North Korea.
The White House has not yet released the document, but the words were clearly visible in photographs taken when Trump displayed it to the gathered reporters.
That matters because North Korea has pledged to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula in virtually all agreements since 1992, but implementation has broken down due to a lack of consensus on what that means.
The president acknowledged that USA intelligence into the North Korean nuclear stockpile is limited, "probably less there than any other country", he said.
The formal document-signing, which also included an agreement to work to repatriate remains of prisoners of war and those missing in action from the Korean War, followed a series of meetings at a luxury Singapore resort. "At the end of the day, this is our last best chance to end this conflict without a war".
