Edition 2nd Edition
While we currently take the idea of self for granted, this was not always the case (Baumeister, 1997, 2010). In the Middle Ages people's identities were linked to their social positions, occupations, and family ties, and people were not supposed to want to change these. People knew their identities since these were largely dictated by their place in society. Also, the issue of personal development did not arise in the sense in which it is a major issue for many people today. People learned their occupation. Many had their marriages arranged by their families. In Western Judeo-Christian society, most people were guided by Christian values and beliefs. They had faith in God and a belief that leading a good and sinless life would lead to salvation in the afterlife. They had faith in their monarch and a belief that if they fulfi lled their duties within society, their monarch would protect and not punish them. These constraints did not leave a great deal of scope for personal development or for a concern with individual differences in personal growth. During the early modern period (1500-1800) an interest developed in differences between people and the uniqueness of the individual. Autobiographical writing and a focus on the detailed differences between people's life experiences began to emerge. This later gave way to a focus on the inner life and to the belief that fulfi lment might be enhanced by developing a deeper understanding of the inner life of the self through art, culture, contemplation, and poetry. This coincided with an emerging questioning of the certainties of religion, monarchies, and the values entailed by these. People began to question their faith in their gods, their kings, and their values. Democracy also began to supplant monarchies with the idea that people choose their leaders rather than them being appointed by God. At the turn of the 19th century the popularisation of the idea of the unconscious through the works of Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) expanded the popular concept of the inner self and the idea that achieving self-knowledge and personal development were challenging undertakings. Life-cycle theorists such as Erik Erikson (1902-1994) later proposed the idea that at transitional points between the stages of development of the life cycle, identity crises could occur in which people questioned the way they were living their lives and entertained choices about making major changes in their lifestyles (Erikson, 1959). (Erikson's lifecycle model is discussed in Chapter 6.) This idea of an identity crisis entailed the view that the self was separate from the social and religious contexts in which it resided. This way of thinking was facilitated by the rise in geographic, social, and occupational mobility. It was also supported by increasing wealth that gave freedom to entertain the idea of choosing different lifestyles. Wealth and mobility in turn were facilitated by huge advances in science and technology that were made following the scientifi c revolution. While the emergence of the modern conception of self has been liberating on the one hand, it has also entailed a cost. Because it has become increasingly diffi cult to have faith in the supernatural order or the social order, people are forced to look elsewhere for values. Many turn to the self or close personal relationships as a source of value. Relationships will be dealt with in Chapter 8. In the present chapter the focus will be on the self. Whereas in the past, a preoccupation with the self was termed selfi shness, a pejorative term, in modern psychology there are many positive terms for self-focused concerns, notably self-knowledge, self-esteem, self-effi cacy, self-evaluation, and self-regulation. Many of these are of concern to positive psychology.

"The Dresser" makes its Hilarious Debut
Authors: SHAUGHNESSY CONLEY The Rocky Mountain Collegian
What happens when an aging actor of Shakespearean theater, in his dying days, performs a final show of King Lear with his faithful, quirky Jamaican dresser watchfully ensuring that all goes off without a hitch?
In short, a fantastic show.
"The Dresser," a play written by Ronald Harwood and directed by CSU's Laura Jones, made a glorious debut last Friday at the local Bas Bleu Theatre Co, a small venue tucked away at the edge of town on 401 Pine St.
With fast-paced witticisms and a perfect equilibrium of laugh-until-it-hurts comedy and drama of a man's demise, "The Dresser" is the best show that I've ever seen performed in community theatre.
The only disadvantage to a spectator who was uneducated on theater superstitions and norms is the various references to them. One of the funniest jokes in the play alludes to a well-known superstition throughout theater: It is bad luck to name "Macbeth" in any theater, and it is instead called the "Scottish play" or the "Scottish tragedy." But if you didn't know it, you wouldn't get the joke.
The show reveals a stage's backstage elements in true form. The innovative design elements actually created a stage facing backward, away from the people in the audience, so they can truly witness a show from behind the scenes without leaving the comfort of their seats.
The show features seasoned Bas Bleu and Fort Collins actors Leonard Barrett, Jr., Jonathan Farwell and Wendy Ishii, all three known for their talent among the theater community.
Farwell does a great job of playing Sir, the tragic hero of the play, whose performance of King Lear mysteriously parallels his own decline. And as for Barrett, I will say this: I have never witnessed someone so natural and graceful on the stage, and so fun to talk to once the show is over – he is pretty damn funny.
"The Dresser's" moments of grand hilarity complement its moments of sad, poetic drama. This show makes for a magnificent night at the theater and complete success – a rarity in the theater business.
Staff writer Shaughnessy Conley can be reached at verve@collegian.com
Running Dates: Every Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. through Oct. 21
Every Sunday at 2:30 through Oct. 21
Ticket Info: Purchase tickets online at www.basbleu.org or at the door.
Prices range from $9.50 to $15.
Other Breakout if Room
Theater Superstitions
It is terrible luck to say "Good luck!" to anyone. Instead, say, "Break a leg!"
WHY? Saying "Good luck" could tempt evil spirits into harming the person.
Thousands of theaters have haunting rumors, including CSU's former Black Box in Johnson Hall.
WHY? Superstition holds that if a theater is completely dark, ghosts will enter it and remain there; in most theaters this is prevented by what is called a "ghost light." CSU's new theaters are continually lit by the exit signs above the doors.
It is unlucky to have real mirrors on the set.
WHY? The origin of this theory could have practical roots: Mirrors distort the deliberate lighting design and cause problems, and are distracting to actors. In "The Dresser," Sir's vanity mirror is removed and he merely stares through the frame into the audience on the other side.

16 years ago today.
On October 7, 1998, Aaron Kreifels was riding his bike through a field in Wyoming. He wasn't expecting that day to be different from any other beautiful sunny afternoon in the vast plains surrounding Laramie, but that day would change many lives.
Aaron spotted what he initially thought was a scarecrow next to a fence. Then he noticed a glisten of blood. The sun sparkled on what he barely recognized as a face. What Aaron had discovered was the 22 year-old Matthew Shepard, clinging to life.
Most of you know what happened next. Matthew held on for five more days and as his parents held his hand and prayed, Matthew slipped away quietly on October 12th, leaving in his wake a new movement for equality.
The outcries for justice and for greater protections were immediate and resonating.
Since then, Matthew's mother Judy has made it her personal mission to protect all young LGBT people from Matthew's horrific fate. In founding the Matthew Shepard Foundation, she has created safe spaces in and outside of schools for kids, and worked with parents to ensure their children learn to erase hate from their lives.
But overwhelmingly what you saw in 1998 was a community ready to act, ready to change something. And Matthew's story was the catalyst for that. Many of you have seen or read the Moises Kaufman play, The Laramie Project – Matthew's story as told through interviews of those who were living in Laramie at the time – some of his friends and some who just happened to be riding a bike through the plains of Wyoming that day. If you think of nothing else today, please consider the importance of telling your story – how your story can change the world around you.
This young boy, unbeknownst to him, has changed the world with his.

Now, on the 15th anniversary of his murder, author Stephen Jiminez has released a book denying the hate crime that took place here. Based entirely on innuendo, Jiminez is doing his best to attack the memory of a boy who gave me the strength to tell the world who I am. Please join me in asking bookstores to cancel his appearances by signing this petition. Using the 15th anniversary of this horrific event to sell books is beyond the pale.

Author Unveils Anti-Gay Matthew Shepard Truther Book on 15th Anniversary of His Murder
15 years ago, I was walking through the student union of my college when I saw a TV with a news story about a young man in Laramie Wyoming who'd been found badly beaten – and left for dead.
That young man was Matthew Shepard. His grisly murder not only acted as a lightning rod for our community, but it also caused many, including myself, to come out and be counted.
Over the years, the media has tried digging deeper on this story only to be debunked at every conspiracy theory they could unearth. One of the first conspiracy theories around Matthew's murder came from author Stephen Jiminez. In 2000, just 2 years after Matthew's murder, Jiminez came across an anonymous letter claiming that Matthew was essentially in a sexual relationship with his murderer, Aaron McKinney. Despite McKinney's denial of this, despite none of Matthew's friends or family ever having seen McKinney in their lives prior to the murder and despite not even knowing who wrote this letter, Jiminez thought it necessary to craft a fiction about Matthew Shepard.
The brilliant Media Matters thoroughly debunks "The Book of Matt," including Jiminez' own background with the story, every one of his sources (many of whom are "anonymous,"), and his dismissal that Matt's murder had anything to do with his sexuality despite taped confessions from the killer repeatedly referring to Matt as "the fag" and "the queer."
Dozens of reputable bookstores around the country are not only stocking this innuendo-filled book, but they've invited Jiminez to speak and sell his book to more people.
Last week, I spoke with Bradley Graham at DC's Politics & Prose – one of the few decent independent booksellers in the city. While grateful that I brought this to their attention, they refused to cancel the event. In a follow-up email to me, Brad dismissed my concerns that the book was full of lies by stating:
"As an independent bookstore, P&P has long played a role as more than just a retail outlet; it's also an established forum for community discussion on a broad range of topics. In a democracy like ours, such forums are essential. Citizens must have opportunities to hear diverse and sometimes divergent views and to engage in respectful debate about them, even if those views are controversial. As long as this dialogue remains civil and considerate, we will stay committed to holding events featuring a wide universe of books and reflecting many different perspectives."
Please read the above article from Media Matters on just how hurtful this book is to the LGBT community. Then check the list of readings here and see if one of your local bookstores is hosting a reading. Drop them a line and let them know that they are giving a platform to someone who is spreading lies, rumor and conjecture which are aimed at spitting on the grave of Matthew Shepard.
I've done the work of finding phone numbers for all scheduled book events for Mr. Jiminez. Please make the calls and let the stores know what's going on. Most probably have no idea.

Did he see the stars over Laramie?
Every year, I re-post the same story about Matthew Shepard. It's a brief reminder so that the people I know and love don't forget who he is and the incredible moves forward we've made in memory of him.
Tonight, I ran across someone who re-blogged the story and they attached a video from YouTube. It's a brief interview with Matthew which I've never seen. Actually, despite having worked with Matthew's mom, Judy on several events I produced for their foundation, I've actually never seen video footage of Matt.
As brief as the footage is, it hit me hard. I've never seen Matt speaking, never heard his voice.
When the tragedy happened, I was starting my sophomore year in college. I wasn't out to anyone. I remember watching the stories on a TV in my college campus center and so desperately wanting to tell someone how upset, how scared I was.
Let's be honest, I was doing musicals and I'd never really dated any girls, so it was no surprise when I finally did come out but for me, I was still terrified someone might find out – especially after what happened to Matt. I know I wasn't alone in that and that this is the reason for the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Act. When something like this happens, it terrorizes more than just the victim of the crime.
Tonight, 14 years ago, Matt was laying in a field, tied to a fence, beaten and bloodied, staring at the stars over the Wyoming sky as he lost consciousness. I like to think that there was a moment before he closed his eyes, that the pain went away and he was able see the stars and know he was loved.

Gay Dads, 4 Kids Terrorized by Neighbors – You Can Help!
Roy, Felix and their four children
You may recall last week when we told you about the Arizona family that has been threatened, had their property set on fire and their children chased down the street by men with guns while police did nothing.
While local authorities are still being pressured by the media and people around the country to investigate this and prosecute accordingly, not much has changed for the two dads and their four adopted children.
While we can't go wave a magic wand and make Arizona police and elected officials comprehend the idea that all families should be treated equally, we can show them they're not alone.
The Family Equality Council and their new media manager, Sean Carlson (my fiancé) are attempting to do just that. Last August, I took part in a life-changing week in Provincetown, MA. Family Equality Council's Family Week is a place for families of all different combinations. Two Dads, Two Moms, Two Grandpas, Two Grandmas – no matter what – everyone is welcome.
For the first time in many of their lives, children of LGBT parents are shown they are not the only family like theirs. In fact, not only are they introduced to a world with hundreds of families like their own, they are even celebrated in a parade down the main street of town.
With your help, the Family Equality Council is going to be bringing this family to Provincetown for Family Week this year.
From their fundraising page:
"It started with grafitti, then escalated to setting their bushes on fire and banging on the windows at night. Then the unthinkable happened: someone broke into their home and vandalized the children's furniture.
The past few months have been a nightmare for the Bermeas – the harassment, the late night calls to the police, the aftermath, and the increased media attention have all made this time a less-than-ideal summer vacation.
We can do something about this – raise enough money to send the entire family to Family Week in Provincetown, MA."
Please help show this family they're not alone! Contribute Now!

Why do Arizona cops let people chase kids with guns?
For four months now, Felix Bermia, his husband Roy and their four young children have been terrorized in their own home.
Violent rapping on their doors and windows when the kids are home alone, hateful slurs keyed into their vehicles, fires lit on their lawn and around their property and even a break-in with more vandalism and slurs on the walls. Then just last week, two men stepped out of an SUV and pulled a gun on the two young boys and chased them home.
Since the first incident, Felix has called the police 14 times. The story received some national attention in the past few weeks and added pressure for the local authorities to take some action, but they've come up empty-handed. There's a young girl who is now afraid to sleep in her own room after vandals wrote anti-gay profanity on her pastel walls, with her stuffed animals lying all around.
Despite this marathon session of this constant harassment, vandalism and terror inflicted on the family, the police magically have yet to be able to find a single person who knows anything about the crimes.
The local authorities have issued a statement claiming they've been on top of these incidents, despite no action seemingly being taken until after 12 phone calls reporting the crimes.
Lou Colagiovanni at the Examiner outlines the history of events and points out that there will be a rally on July 14th to bring further attention to the police department's apparent lack of attention to the matter.

PHOTOS: DC Vigil for Teen Lesbians Shot in Texas
Kristene Chapa and Mollie Olgin
Last Friday night as many Americans prepared for a weekend of Pride celebrations, 19 year old Mollie Olgin was taking her girlfriend of 5 months, 18 year old Krissy Chapa to a movie. They had some extra time on their hands, so they stopped by a local park.
What happened between then and roughly 9am on Saturday is still being pieced together by Police.
Authorities were called to the scene after a couple came upon them in the morning. Mollie had died due to a gunshot wound to her neck and Kristene remains in intensive care with a gunshot wound to her head.
The investigation continues and as of 7pm last night, no motives or suspects have been discovered. A witness has come forward and described the shooter as a white male in his 20s, 5 foot 8 inches tall, 140 pounds with dark hair. As of this time, it is unknown whether the girls' relationship was a motive for the crime. The police also indicated that the women did not know their assailant.
As of right now, there are more than 25 vigils planned across the country for the girls.
We hear from Kristene's brother that she's making progress and can now move the right side of her body. In trying to get her to communicate, she's only been able to write – most of what she's writing is Mollie's name. Her family has refrained from telling her Mollie is gone for fear it will impact her recovery. Friends and family had been very supportive of their relationship.
Tonight, we were proud to help organize a twilight vigil in Mollie and Kristene's honor in Washington D.C.. More than 100 people braved the 104 degree weather and contributed over $300 to help with Kristene's medical care (as she is uninsured).
Speakers included Maya Rupert , Federal Policy Director at the National Center for Lesbian Rights will be Chad Griffin, new Executive Director for the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), Executive Director of the Sexual Minority Youth Assistance League (SMYAL), Andrew Barnett and Chair of Gays & Lesbians Opposing Violence (GLOV), A.J. Singletary.
Thank you to those who joined us. Please feel free to make a contribution here to help out Kristene's family.

If a bullet should enter my brain…
By now, most of us have seen the Academy Award-wining film, Milk. While Milk presented a much-untold history, the true impact of this film is now being measured by the vast numbers of young people who found the courage to come out after seeing it, and in conversations about historic LGBT contributions around the globe.
It was on this day, 33 years ago, former Republican San Francisco City Supervisor Dan White took a gun to City Hall. He climbed through a lower-level window to avoid metal detectors and proceeded to Mayor George Moscone's office. White had resigned his office and went into Moscone's office hoping to be re-appointed to the seat he'd resigned from. When Moscone refused, White shot and killed him. With extra ammunition, he proceeded to the office of Harvey Milk, the first openly-gay man to be elected to a major city office. White proceeded to shoot Milk 5 times – the final two shots had White pressing his gun directly at Milk's skull according to the medical examiner.
Harvey Milk had pre-recorded a message after receiving several anti-gay death threats during his political career. The message said "If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet shatter every closet door." Dan White went on to be found guilty of voluntary manslaughter rather than first-degree murder. Despite White's later statements that he was "on a mission" and "wanted to kill four of them," he was not found guilty of pre-meditating anything due to his poor diet.
White's lawyers claimed that while usually a healthy man, White had been consuming many sugary foods, which led to his mental state. This became known as the "Twinkie Defense." White went on to serve just 5 years of the very lenient 7 year sentence. 2 years later, White committed suicide by running a garden hose from the exhaust pipe to inside his car.
Following the guilty verdict, men and women rioted outside San Francisco City Hall. Hours after the riots had ended, Police made a retaliatory raid on the streets of the Castro District and the Elephant Walk Bar (now renamed 'Harvey's"). Two dozen arrests were made during that raid and the riots, and in the following weeks, after being called upon to apologize, gay leaders refused. The political leverage gained from these events led to the election of Mayor Dianne Feinstein. Feinstein then appointed a pro-gay chief of police who actively recruited gays into the city's police force.
Dianne Feinstein, who is now a U.S. Senator, is leading the way for LGBT equality by sponsoring the "Respect for Marriage Act," which would repeal the anti-gay Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).

TN Pastor Who Ordered Assault on Gay Son, Now Facing Theft Charges
Remember that Tennessee pastor we told you about earlier this week? The one who ordered his deacons to assault his own gay son when he and his partner tried to come to church?
Seems like he's in the news again. According to local ABC affiliate, WBBJ:
According to Trenton police, they recently arrested Pastor Jerry Pittman, of Fruitland's Grace Fellowship Church, on charges of stealing from a local business.
"It's hard enough nowadays to trust people and I just can't believe that a pastor would even steal anything," said Trenton resident Hayley Gordon.
Police arrested the 52-year-old on September 21, after his estranged wife told them she had heard from co-workers that he had been stealing from her business.
"Our investigation into the incident that was reported showed that he and another gentleman did scrap copper at a scrap yard here in Trenton," Lt. James Wilson said.
Investigators said he scrapped the copper at least three different times since August. It was hundreds of pounds, and worth more than $1,000.
"It was quite a bit that they scrapped," Wilson said.
And, shockingly enough, this "Christian" man has been in trouble with the law before:
This actually is not the first time Pittman has been arrested. Police said he was arrested back in 2006 for a simple assault charge.
"It was over an incident where the daughter and the boyfriend had a joint child," Wilson said. "There were some accusations involving the father of the child, which was the boyfriend, and he confronted the father of his grandchild at a local grocery store."
One would think that parishioners would prefer a non-criminal to be leading their church.

Calif. utilities yield energy-use data
David R. Baker
June 19, 2013 Updated: June 19, 2013 8:58 p.m.
Phone records and e-mail aren't the only kinds of personal data that government agencies can collect on Americans.
They can look at your home's energy use, too. And that information can be revealing.
California's electric utilities last year disclosed the energy-use records and other personal information of thousands of customers, according to reports the companies filed with state regulators.
The vast majority of those disclosures - 4,062 - were made by one utility, San Diego Gas and Electric Co. In 4,000 of those cases, the information was subpoenaed by government agencies, often in drug enforcement cases or efforts to find specific individuals, according to the utility. The other 62 disclosures came as the result of subpoenas in civil lawsuits. Some of the released information focused solely on billing information, account addresses and other data that could be used to locate an individual.
In contrast, PG&E disclosed data for 86 customers last year. Southern California Edison only disclosed the information of one customer.
The American Civil Liberties Union, which publicized the disclosures Wednesday, warned that energy-use information represents one more way for government agencies to peer into Americans' lives. The release comes in the wake of recent disclosures about how the National Security Agency uses cell phone "metadata" and other personal electronic records when investigating national security threats.
"This is another situation where there's a lot of data being collected that can reveal very private details," said Nicole Ozer, the union's technology policy director.
How private? New digital smart meters being installed throughout the state can measure a home's energy use hour by hour, showing when residents leave for work, go to sleep or travel on vacation. Older analog meters, which measured cumulative energy use over the course of a month, couldn't do that.
"Before smart meters, what happened inside houses couldn't be revealed unless there was a police officer inside with a warrant," Ozer said.
However, it remains unclear how often government agencies look at usage data in that level of detail. For example, a memo that SDG&E submitted to the California Public Utilities Commission says the company provided federal drug enforcement agents with energy "consumption" data on 2,672 customers last year, but doesn't delve into specifics about the data itself.
A PG&E spokesman said all of his company's data disclosures followed state regulations, although he did not have details on who had requested the information.
"They were all court-approved subpoenas, which we're obliged to respond to," said PG&E spokesman Jason King.
Privacy concerns have helped fuel resistance to smart meters, which are being installed by utilities across the country.
Opponents have focused most of their attention on the possible health threat posed by smart meters that transmit data over the airwaves, using the same technology as mobile phones and laptop computers. Whether wireless technology can cause illness remains a fiercely debated topic.
But meter critics have also warned that the devices give utilities, and potentially government agencies, an unwanted window into the home. "It's a form of surveillance," said Sandi Maurer, founder of the EMF Safety Network and a staunch smart meter critic. "If someone analyzes the data coming from smart meters, they can tell when you're home, when you're cooking a meal, when you're watching TV."

The California Public Utilities Commission in 2011 adopted rules governing when utilities can disclose customer information gleaned through smart meters. In general, the data are considered private. But a subpoena, court order or warrant can pry it loose. Law enforcement agencies can obtain the information as part of an investigation. But so can attorneys in a lawsuit, provided they get court approval first.
Law enforcement agencies have often sought the help of utilities during investigations. For example, energy-use records can help police spot marijuana grow houses, which consume far more electricity than homes.
Mark Toney, executive director of the Utility Reform Network watchdog group, said the sheer number of data disclosures made by SDG&E raised the possibility that government agencies wanted to sift through large amounts of data looking for patterns, rather than conducting targeted investigations.
"Smart meters are clearly one more avenue into people's private lives, just like credit cards, your cell phone, your computer," Toney said. "This is one more way that privacy, we feel, is being compromised."
SDG&E insists it must release the data if presented with a valid subpoena.
"SDG&E rigorously protects the customer information that it collects and compiles with all (California Public Utilities Commission) rules and other laws regarding privacy of customer information," the company said in an e-mailed statement.

Adelaide United Football Club has teamed up with The Northern Territory Government and Football in Central Australia to deliver a new Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) Youth Program in Central Australia.
The program is an initiative of the Adelaide United Football Club that will allow selected Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander youth (males and females) to be identified and given the opportunity to gain the experience and skills that are required to be successful in their lives and the activities they choose to pursue.
The ATSI program was officially launched today in Alice Springs with Adelaide United player Cassio, Assistant Coach Pau Marti and former Lady Red Ruth Wallace joining NT Minister for Sport, Recreation and Racing Matt Conlan and other distinguished guests to make the exciting announcement.
"This new program is an exciting aspect of the Government-s partnership with Adelaide United," said Minister Matt Conlan today. "Our agreement is about much more than bringing A-League Pre-season games to the Centre. It is about using a sport like football as a catalyst for young Indigenous people throughout Central Australia to gain a wide range of life skills, knowledge and experiences that can help them become positive member of their communities.
"The program will not just be about football - it will also focus on culture, leadership, education and training and the importance of school attendance. Indigenous youths in our communities are amongst the most vulnerable in the country. But it is hoped this program will help set them on a path to a meaningful life.
"Having a full-time Development Officer with links to Adelaide United based in the Centre, will significantly help with the development of our junior players and improve their pathways to the elite level.
The new Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Youth Program will be rolled out in six locations across Central Australia at: Tangentyere Council (Alice Springs), Football in Central Australia (Alice Springs), Yulara, MacDonnell Shire, Central Desert shire and Tennant Creek.
It includes and 8-10 week program for year levels 5,6,7,8 and 9 and will be led by Alice Springs based AUFC Development Officer, Diego Gomez who played in the FC Barcelona Youth Team for 4 years and has now gained his coaching accreditation. Much of his football background is aligned with current Reds coach Josep Gombau allowing the youth of Central Australia to follow the philosophy of Adelaide United and hopefully begin to develop players who represent Adelaide United and one day the Socceroos.
The Territory Government-s two-year agreement with the Adelaide United Football Club includes the Youth Program, other training and development initiatives and will also see AUFC play a Pre-season match against Melbourne Heart in Alice Springs in August 2014. The match will be preceded by a curtain raiser between an Indigenous team and an Alice Springs representative side.


On the same day Anthrax released Worship Music, their first album in eight years, the thrash-metal heavyweights brought the noise to the Best Buy Theater. It was a cathartic experience, and they played with the sort of frenzy most bands would reserve for a giant gig at Yankee Stadium (where they played the next day alongside Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth). Tonight, they return with a new cast of thrash cohorts (Testament and Death Angel). Let's hope they haven't lost that new-record smell.

The Carneros Inn is a truly amazing venue; from your engagement to your wedding or even as a location to spend your honeymoon, this four star resort offers everything a couple needs to plan a perfect wedding celebration. The beauty of a full service resort like the Carneros Inn is that they let you focus on the details, allowing you to have as magical of an event as you imagined. The service at the Carneros Inn is impeccable - no need to sweat the small stuff, it will all be taken care of.
We love this inspired and sophisticated wedding's bold use of color. Tiffany Fosnight has done a wonderful job of sharing the details and emotions of this celebration. The amazing assortment of flowers, orchids, fiddlehead fern, hydrangea, roses, and thistle create truly unique floral arrangements, and the use of succulents and manzanita help to tie in the natural setting that the resort is so well known for. I love the infusion of the vibrant green in the linen; it creates a canvass for the rest of the design and creates emphasis on the colorful floral arrangements.
If you are having a hard time thinking about the details, let your designer or florist know one element, one flower, one color, or one texture and let them run with it. You would be amazed at where you can find inspiration. This design transcends seasons - it would really work any time of the year. If you are having a late fall or winter wedding, consider a similar design but incorporate a linen choice with a darker base.

The subject never comes up around the campfire. Two women and another man walked towards them, moving as carefully as the man who had touched Daniel had. And I'm afraid I can't answer your second question unless you become on of our tribe," Eldred said. Conceptual history[ edit ] James Spader was intrigued by the script because he found it "awful". Jack would bet his year's income that this place had been designed by a woman. Trust me, I'm not really okay with this at all, but if this is what they want us to do then hey, why not. You know it failed. In the worst moments of his torture, Jack called for Daniel and was devastated to find him gone.
Daniel was wondering what they were saying. This is kinda like that, except that they have better leverage than most guys have. He heard her put the pot away and felt her hands grab his hips. He was shocked to learn that even after being freed of Qetesh, she still took advantage of the people of P8X, forcing them to mine naquadah. Daniel did forgive Teal'c, and the bond between them grew ever stronger. When Teal'c was forced to kill Sha're two years later, she sent Daniel a message through the hand device before she died, explaining that his friend had no choice and that Daniel must forgive him 3. Daniel's so open to new experiences and trying new things from other people's perspectives. Alisun presented Jack with the knife. Janet snorted and pounded her friend on the back like a guy out with his buddy, lacking any of the tenderness normally found in her bedside manner. Especially since no SG-team will come to this planet ever again," Alisun told him coldly. Jack eyed Alisun suspiciously. He handed the knife back to Alisun and went rummaging through his pack for the first aid kit to bandage his hand. I think you made it up to make us look ridiculous. He didn't think the man meant him any harm, it was probably just his way of saying hello. Eldred looked at her. The Ancient, Oma Desala, guides Daniel to ascend to a higher plane of existence. I'm just happy you're not Carter. The author would like to thank you for your continued support. I think 'equal opportunity pervert' comes closest," He replied, after thinking for a moment. There were pillows on the floor, and some shiny red sheets made out of some sheer fabric. Small town not too far from the Gate, and Daniel reports it's an early medieval Anglo-Saxon town, based on the architecture and clothes at least," Sam reported. When Teal'c was taken by Ba'al, who wanted to brainwash him and turn him against the Jaffa freedom movement, Daniel teamed with Bra'tac to find Teal'c and, with the rest of SG-1's help, free him. But that's besides the point. That was the sort of thing he knew in all his languages, since that was the first thing he had learned. Here, he helps them to persuade Jack O'Neill to green-light the Atlantis expedition. What was the significance?

The, er, name is additional to us. Is that how you chance English. Her explore was a darker specialist of inhabit, bordering on radio.

Monday, the city of San Diego is set to debate the last remaining question before the City Council about marijuana: Where should businesses that manufacture, cultivate, distribute and test it be allowed? Or should they be allowed at all? Many people have no idea what's going on or the profound changes in law, culture and economics that are about to hit San Diego.


In late June, the Australian state of New South Wales (NSW) passed The Crimes Amendment (Publicly Threatening and Inciting Violence) Bill 2018. The Australian homophobia law, which comes into effect today, outlines protections against discrimination based on gender identity, sexuality, religion and race. It also adds protection for bisexual, non-binary and intersex people and carries a stiff penalty for those who discriminate against these groups.
The Crimes Amendment was introduced to the NSW Parliament in the beginning of June and passed only two weeks later on June 21. The new law protects people based on race, religion, sexuality, gender, intersex status and HIV status. The law doesn't only protect against physical violence either; it also protects against hate speech, be it broadcast, distributed via flyer or just said aloud.
During Australia's marriage equality plebiscite last year, there were a number of homophobic posters placed around Melbourne, funded by an American neo-Nazi group. Though Melbourne is in the state of Victoria, similar posters would not be allowed in NSW now that this law has been passed.
The penalties for breaking the laws are strong. If an individual breaks the new laws, they can be punished by a fine of $11,000 AUD (a little over $8,000 USD), three years in prison or both. A corporation that breaks the law will be hit with a $55,000 AUD fine (about $40,000 USD).
New South Wales is the largest state in Australia and home to the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.
Do you think the Crimes Amendment will help stop Australian homophobia?

WOMEN'S TENNIS: UGA to Host NCAA Regional
Georgia Sports Communications
UGA Tennis 1 Comment

The fourth-ranked Georgia women's tennis team learned its opponents for the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament with the announcement of the bracket via the NCAA selection show Tuesday night.
The Bulldogs drew the fifth overall seed and will first host North Florida in the first round, and the winner of that contest will face the winner of Wake Forest and Baylor. Georgia will compete on Friday, May 13, at 4 p.m., and if it wins it will play its second match on Saturday, May 14, at 4 p.m.
"We're fired up to be in the NCAA Tournament," said Georgia head coach Jeff Wallace. "We had a great regular season, we're the fifth seed, and we're just really looking forward to getting underway. It's always an exciting part of the year for us and the fact that we're hosting in the early rounds is great."
Georgia, appearing in its 30th consecutive NCAA Tournament, has never faced North Florida, the Atlantic Sun's automatic qualifier, or Wake Forest in the postseason. The Bulldogs are 1-0 all-time against Baylor in the NCAA Tournament.
Georgia is led into postseason play by All-SEC honorees Caroline Brinson, Ellen Perez and Kennedy Shaffer. Perez was named to the first team after going 16-2 in spring play, 13-1 in conference play. Shaffer led Georgia with 19 dual wins and seven match clinchers, and Brinson claimed 13 wins this spring and won the ITA Southeast Regional singles crown this fall.
North Florida is unranked after earning the A-Sun's guaranteed berth, while Wake Forest is ranked 26th and Baylor is 38th. The Bulldogs have yet to lose a match this season to teams ranked outside of the top five at the time of the match.
"It's always nice to play at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex," added Wallace. "It's such a great place to play and we've hosted many NCAA Tournaments. It's going to be a lot of fun for our players to get back on the courts."
Tickets are $5 for adults, $3 for children/students and free for children age 2 and under. Tickets will go on sale online via the school's official athletics website at www.georgiadogs.com beginning on Wednesday at 9 a.m. ET and running through Friday, May 13 at 8 a.m. ET. All ticket sales after that will take place at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex.
Georgia's men's squad will also be hosting a NCAA regional, welcoming South Carolina State, Florida State and Baylor to the Classic City. The men's bracket will begin with two matches on Saturday and conclude on Sunday.
For all the latest on Georgia women's tennis, follow the team on Twitter (@UGAWomensTennis), Instagram (@ugawomenstennis) and on Facebook (Georgia Women's Tennis), and keep checking in to georgiadogs.com.

This list has been carefully compiled and it was also based on certain criteria like media reports, endorsements deals, shows, and tours, an artist signed to a label or having his or her own label.
Who Is The Richest Fuji Musician In Nigeria 2019?
Based on different criteria listed above these artists have been able to deliver the best and they are actually worth talking about. Being among the list of the richest Fuji musicians in Nigeria is no joke as we know that it's not easy to survive there in music industry especially with that genre of music, so being on this list means you have definitely put in your best and you deserve this position. Below are the top ten richest Fuji artiste in Nigeria.
His real name is Wasiu Alabi Ajibola and he is topping the list. Pasuma is regarded as the richest Fuji music in Nigeria. Pasuma has a net worth of N750 million.

I Spent $200 on Fake LEGO to Make the Robot T-Rex from 'Horizon: Zero Dawn'
Updated Jan 4, 2021, 9:13 am EST | 11 min read
Michael Crider / Review Geek
LEGO is great. LEGO is also expensive, and though it's pretty ubiquitous in its partnerships, not every single thing you could possibly imagine is available as an official set. So if you've been obsessed with Horizon: Zero Dawn for months, and you desperately want a giant LEGO Thunderjaw (the game's iconic robot T-rex), what's a LEGO nerd to do?
Too Good to Resist
Doing Right by the Designer
Assuming that you don't also have hundreds of thousands of loose LEGO pieces with which to design and build your own set, you have a few other options. The "My Own Creation" (MOC) community can supply you with a design and step-by-step instructions, like this massive 4743-piece LEGO Thunderjaw from designer Nicola Stocchi. Sites like Rebrickable can help you find and purchase the individual parts you need from sellers around the world.
But there's a downside: price. Official LEGO sets tend to average about ten cents per piece, more for licensed properties, a little less for the really big sets. So if that design was made as a "real" LEGO set, it would be somewhere in the range of $450-500.
But buying a massive custom project, piece by piece, can really rack up that price. According to Rebrickable, getting about 90% of those common parts from one shop would cost somewhere around $600-700. Using its multi-buy tool to get every single piece from dozens of independent shops, the cost comes out to a soul-crushing $1,123, plus a whopping $440 for shipping. Suddenly that massive, beautiful robot costs more than 30 cents a piece!
LEGO can get expensive, but even the most ardent collector might balk at those prices. And I did. And then I cheated.
While searching for some Horizon: Zero Dawn memorabilia on an auction site, I spotted the Thunderjaw design I'd been drooling over for more than a year… sold not as a set of instructions, but as a full building set with pieces, delivered to my door like a conventional LEGO set. What was even more amazing was that it was selling for $152 with free shipping—less than many real LEGO sets, and an absolute steal considering that its nearly 5,000 pieces worked out to only about two cents a piece!
Once I paid for the set, I noticed that the listing very carefully omitted the word "LEGO," and that it was shipping from China. The penny dropped: This was a seller who had taken the parts list from Nicola Stocchi's design, populated it with knock-off LEGO pieces (which are entirely legal, if nowhere near as good as the real thing), and created an ad-hoc LEGO set of one of the most drool-worthy designs I'd ever seen.
If I was willing to work with substandard pieces, I could get the set all at once, for literal pennies on the dollar, and have a new stunning centerpiece to my collection. What's more, I'd be able to build a creature design from one of my favorite video games (that LEGO will probably never license for itself), created by someone with far more talent than I. Even waiting for international shipping, it would come in much faster than waiting on parts from 44 different stores.
DHL said it would be up to six weeks before I'd get my pieces. I got them in just two, which is pretty great for shipping from China to Texas. I opened the unmarked box, and I was pleased to see it filled with dozens and dozens of numbered ziplock bags filled with unmarked pieces. It was just like a "real" LEGO set, minus the branding!
Inside were two cards: one with a download link for the PDF of the instructions (since an actual instruction booklet would have cost nearly as much to print as the pieces themselves), and a handy "ruler" scale for the trickier bar and Technic pieces. The download card also informed me, to my immediate dismay, that the numbered baggies didn't actually correspond to the order of the building instructions the way a real LEGO set does.
That meant that I had nearly 5,000 loose pieces of not-LEGO. And in order to assemble this almost literal monster, I'd have to search through it all, step by step, piece by piece.
For a little context: The biggest and most complex set I'd ever assembled before was the Avengers Helicarrier (set number 76042), a massive undertaking at just under 3,000 pieces. But the Helicarrier is basically a big boat with a few gears added on. It took me about 16 hours. The Thunderjaw has 60% more pieces, and it's a bipedal, almost "organic" design, similar in physical dimensions but much more complex and detailed.
Even at this early stage, I could tell this was going to take a massive amount of time.
I started by separating the pieces by color into individual bowls … then into multiple bowls because the paper bowls I'd bought weren't big enough. A little way into emptying the bags I spotted an error in my methodology and left the bags that had dozens of smaller identical pieces alone, the easier to find them later. It took me a solid two or three hours just to get all the pieces spread out on a 4'x2′ table … and the dozens of bowls and bags spilled over into another 2'x2′ table.
Finally, I was able to start. I loaded up the PDF instructions file on my Lenovo Chromebook Duet, an extremely handy companion for this build. But when I did, I noticed that the file lacked any mention of designer Nicola Stocchi. I had to assume that the unscrupulous seller had stolen the design and was redistributing the instructions as an illegal download.
To give credit (and money) where it was due, I purchased Stocchi's instructions from Brick Vault, where I knew he would get a royalty for his hard work on the initial design and the instructions themselves. The legitimate PDF file (which was a bit better organized, and had his copyright on every page) cost me $40.
That brought my final, total cost for the Thunderjaw to $204.52, with an average piece price of a little more than two cents.
As I said earlier, the Avengers Helicarrier set took me approximately 16 hours from start to finish. For the Thunderjaw, I stopped counting at 20 … when I was about a third of the way done.
Finding the necessary pieces, with almost five thousand of them laid out before me, was definitely the biggest time sink. Eventually, I had to start subdividing my color-coded bowls even further, because finding the right tiny variation on a 2×1 black Technic piece among 300 others could take me 15 minutes or more. I developed techniques of sifting through the pieces, from one bowl to the other, almost like an old-fashioned gold panner.
I cannot overstate the frustration that this process gave me, especially in the few times a colored piece wasn't in the bowl I was expecting. I got to the point that I was setting aside particularly hard-to-find pieces on their own.
The instructions didn't help with the speed. Reading the 3D-rendered and presumably machine-assisted instructions—over 1,700 individual steps/pages!—made me appreciate the care and design that goes into LEGO's professional booklets. At some points steps would consist of just one tiny stud or joint added, while others would be a large step that might take 5 or 10 minutes just in assembly. And there's none of the handy "x4, do this four times" a veteran LEGO builder might be used to.
The build was both more complex and more precarious than a typical LEGO build because the Thunderjaw is pretty spry as a creature design. The massive robot of the game doesn't have to adhere to actual physics, but to make it stand up on its own two feet in LEGO form, the designer had to incorporate a Technic weight-bearing frame under the belly. The "skeleton" of the Thunderjaw is incredibly complex and a little flimsy, acting as a frame for its bow-shaped body and tons of add-on armor pieces.
There are a lot of unconventional interesting decisions in the main build. The blue machine "eyes" of the Thunderjaw are Star Wars lightsaber blades in long plastic piping, and a few details are done out in bat wings and motorcycle handles. There's an amazing amount of engineering and creativity on display here.
Stochi's instructions were to build the main skeleton and body first, complete with the legs. It then has you build about half a dozen large add-on pieces, separate and without attachment—the head, two tail sections, the "disc launchers" on its haunches, the radar array, the long, spiny antennas, the two rear cylinders, and the machine guns and "ammo belts" attached to the head. On top of that, there are another two dozen decorative armor "plates" that finally finish it off.
Putting this together took about three weeks, putting in hours after work and on the weekends. I'm not going to pretend that I didn't have fun—I wouldn't have spent that much dough if I wasn't reasonably sure of a good time, and it's not as if my social calendar is packed during COVID. But it's easily the most difficult, frustrating experience I've ever had with LEGO (or indeed, "LEGO").
I'm going to need a bigger shelf.
Setting aside the headache of actually building this thing, the end result is glorious. It's 32 inches long and 15 inches high (not counting those narrow antennas), and wonderfully detailed: Fans of the game will be able to spot almost all of the pieces they're used to shooting off with Aloy's arrows and gadgets.
This even extends to the interior sections of the design: In the middle of that hulking beast is a mechanical "heart," which you can pull out and examine (if you're careful and patient). The scale of this thing is even approximately correct to LEGO minifigs … though if anyone's selling a customized Horizon: Zero Dawn Aloy minifig, I haven't been able to find one.
This set is impressive not just because of the scale or because of the remarkable design and engineering that went into it, but because LEGO is a great medium for this model in particular. LEGO makes some great robots in the official sets, like Voltron, the Hulkbuster, or even the more "kiddie" designs in smaller sets. (LEGO even has an "official" Jurassic World robot T-rex!) Combine some loving custom work with the wonderful creative design that went into Horizon, and you have something truly special.
The Thunderjaw isn't my favorite LEGO ("LEGO") set ever—that honor still goes to the 007 Aston Martin. But it's definitely the most impressive piece I've ever personally worked on. I just dread having to move the damn thing ever again.
I've already mentioned what a headache it was to sift through 5,000 pieces all at once, and how it wasn't helped by instructions that were poorly executed compared to an authentic LEGO build. Eventually, I developed even more techniques, like mirror-building the symmetrical armor sections, to save myself some time. But there are other factors that come into play that make a large MOC design more difficult.
First of all, the Thunderjaw is incredibly fragile, even compared to the most complex LEGO designs. It's definitely a display piece model, not a toy. Despite a few pieces like the neck, tail, and disc launchers being posable, if you move stuff around without the utmost care, it comes apart. The ball joint of the tail is almost constantly loose. This is especially true of the decorative armor pieces, which are attached by just one stud or bar each.
Part of this is because MOC designers aren't held to the same standard of engineering as LEGO designers—they can make things a little more precarious, knowing that adult builders don't need their hands held as much as children. I've made a few smaller MOCs and built my own, so I was prepared for that. But part of it, I'm sure, is that I was using knock-off LEGO pieces, which aren't created with the same exacting manufacturing tolerances as authentic ones.
On a small build, this isn't really a big deal. On a build of this size and complexity, the problems of loose and/or tight pieces start multiplying. At several points (especially on the armor pieces) I had to redesign some of the model on the fly, making it more rigid and less flexible to accommodate those substandard pieces. There was only one error in the instructions themselves (page 247 and 258, a one-stud spacing issue) for which I was able to adjust.
On a couple of occasions, I had to use pliers to get pieces apart from one another. The long plastic tubes that hold the "machine gun ammo" together stripped themselves as I slid the pieces down them. I had to use the Kragle (super glue) at two points on the radar dish to make sure it could support its own weight. Yeah, there are compromises.
Each of these armor pieces is connected with just one bar. I had to redesign the top parts: The knock-off LEGO pieces came loose from the single stud connection.
Also, the set was missing about a dozen pieces. Which I was expecting, to be honest, after compromising to save myself hundreds of dollars on this build. I was able to redesign around them, with a little bit of substitution from my own loose LEGO collection. (There are about six authentic LEGO pieces in there somewhere.) What's odd is that I had about 100 leftover pieces, much much more than the typical "spillover" in a standard LEGO set.
Some of the pieces were clearly used, too … including some of the big decorative pieces on the outside. One of the Thunderjaw's big white mandibles had very visible scratches on it right out of the bag. Again, it's an acceptable compromise considering how much money I saved, and those imperfections aren't any more visible from a foot or two away than the missing LEGO logos on the individual studs.
The finished product speaks for itself. Even with a few less-flattering alterations to the armor pieces, the Thunderjaw is the biggest and most impressive piece in my LEGO (or "LEGO") collection, by far. I don't regret the time and effort I put into it, and I think the money I saved is an acceptable trade-off for the end result.
That said, while I accepted the drop in piece quality and the extra time it took to sift through all those loose pieces, I really didn't appreciate the seller straight-up stealing Nicola Stocchi's work. Even though I've paid him myself, I won't be buying a set like this again if I have any feeling that it's a similar situation.
And yeah, the time. The time. I'm still going to buy LEGOs and thoroughly enjoy them, but the extra time it took to find pieces and work around the less-than-professional instructions means I'm not in a hurry to build any similarly scaled MOCs any time soon, with or without authentic LEGO pieces.
If you want to see what's possible with aftermarket LEGO designs, do a search for MOC instructions and check them out for yourself. You can see how much a design would cost in terms of parts before buying it from sites like Rebrickable and Brick Vault. My advice: Start with something much, much smaller.

This wouldn't be so damn annoying if it weren't so damn common. Great Lakes beach-goers are being warned to avoid … muck? No. E. coli bacteria? No, not this time. Syringes? Yes, syringes, from Milwaukee.
July 25? Today is Aug. 12. Thanks for the quick notice.
Awesome. This isn't the first time I've come across such a warning.
What? Who was investigating back then? The DEQ. More than four years ago.
"Improper disposal of multiple syringes may be related to illegal management of medical waste by a doctor or veterinarian's office, a clinic, or a tattoo facility," the release said.
Milwaukee also sent us some syringes in 2008, notes the Lansing State Journal.
There's an even longer history of syringes on Lake Michigan shores and I'm old enough to remember it, unfortunately. It happened in the late summer and fall of 1988. It caused a public uproar and the news media chomped on it. The furor led to a federal "Medical Waste Tracking Act" which has since expired. If you live long enough you'll see syringes on Lake Michigan beaches four or five times, it appears.
What I want to know is how any syringes got mixed into a combined sewer overflow. Did someone flush them down a commode, one by one? Down a sink? Did someone throw them into a storm sewer? I can see someone throwing them into the trash, as bad as that would be. But it would seem to take more work to dispose of them into water, or in a place that would lead to water, especially at the numbers they're talking about.

NAGP GMS contract consultation meeting for general practice is set for this weekend
The forum for the meeting, which will be held in the Hotel Minella, Clonmel, on 7 November, will consist of round-table discussions to allow delegates to create a list of needs for a more effective GP service.
The meeting will be chaired by NAGP President Dr Conor McGee. Dr Kevin Kelly from Clonmel will address delegates with regard to contract issues affecting general practice.
Approximately 150 delegates are expected to attend the event, which is open to all GPs, not just NAGP members, and a professional facilitator has been employed for the occasion.
"We hope for a frank and forthright discussion where the opinion of GPs can be aired openly and freely," Mr Goodey told the Medical Independent (MI).
"A submission document will be prepared based on the discussions, which will be presented to all stakeholders, including the Minister, the Department of Health and the HSE."
Meanwhile, a number of rural GPs were due to meet with the Fine Gael Health Committee this week to discuss the issues facing rural general practice.
Clare GP Dr Liam Glynn, who made a passionate plea at the Rural, Island and Dispensing Doctors of Ireland Annual Conference in Mulranny last month for rural GPs to lobby politicians in the run-up to the general election, told MI that the meeting was organised to highlight key issues facing rural general practice, such as the abolition of distance coding, difficulties surrounding the rural practice allowance and funding cuts in general.
"All rural doctors are in this situation together," Dr Glynn stated.
"Unless a comprehensive plan of action is put in place, more and more communities are going to struggle to access GP and primary care services."
Dr Glynn said that the meeting, which he described as a "first step", has been organised by rural doctors themselves and is not linked with any of the representative organisations.
In all, eight rural GPs from different parts of the country will attend the meeting to put their case forward.
Dr Glynn said he hopes that similar meetings will be organised in the future with the Minister for Health and the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children.

Tippi is not your ordinary black lab. Just like any super hero, she has two personae: black lab by day, guide dog…well, also by day. It's all in the harness, you see. When not in harness, she's your average loving, happy lab, that little "heartbeat at my feet". But in harness, she's all business. And we don't live just anywhere; we live in NYC, where the drivers are crazy, the crowds are plentiful, the trains are loud, and the demands are high. Yet every single day, she keeps me safe: she watches what I can't…which is everything. From stopping at curbs to navigating obstacles to backing me away from aggressive drivers in the crosswalk, to remembering to turn onto the right street when I miscounted crossings, she proves she's a hero every route we walk. And if she's the hero, I guess that makes me the sidekick (but I'm okay with that). And, after each long day when it's time for bed, she curls up next to me and keeps me warm. Yes, she's my hero, but more importantly, she's also my best friend. I love her with all my heart and will forever be grateful to Guide Dogs for the Blind for placing her with me. She's one super pup!
