another story from a friend is that a female friend of theirs was tipsy/drunk downtown and had their purse taken off of their shoulder and was pushed by the assailant.

seems like whoever is responsible for this recent rash of downtown jackings might be targeting drunk girls or small parties walking back to their cars after or during a night of heavy drinking.

keep your friends close, get rides to your cars, stay in groups, be smart, be careful.

Quad rugby is also known as �Murderball� or wheelchair rugby and is an international sport which is a part of the Paralympics every four years. The United States national quad rugby team won the gold in China in 2008. The International World (Quad) Rugby competitions occur each year. Quad rugby was invented in Canada and has now spread all over the world. It is a sport played by physically disabled athletes with imparities in all four limbs of their body.

Quad Rugby is a simple game with complex strategies for playing both offense and defense, played with a volleyball on a basketball-size court. While Quad Rugby is a full contact sport, no personal contact is allowed. Slapping, hitting, punching, gouging out eyes, biting off ears, etc. is not allowed and penalties are enforced, usually requiring time in the penalty box.

The Skulls will be starting their 2010-2011 season with practice Friday, July 9. Regular practices will be held on Fridays from 5:30 pm until 8 pm at the Chuck Minker Sports Complex, 275 North Mojave Road (at the corner of Steward and Mojave close to the 95).

The Skulls invite any man or woman, able bodied or quadriplegic, interested in playing or supporting the team to come out to our practices. Everyone is invited to experience the game by playing in a rugby chair which will be provided. You will get to know the rules and have a lot of fun by playing along with the team. We always want able bodied people to help challenge the team. Be warned: playing rugby in a specialized wheelchair is a serious workout for the arms.

The Skulls always appreciate and welcome sponsors and donations. If you are interested in supporting Las Vegas Quad Rugby through volunteering, sponsorship or donations please contact the Sin City Skulls coach, Brad Oram at (702) 326-8500 or coach@sincityskulls.net. The Sin City Skulls are currently supported by the Nevada Adaptive Sports Club (NASC) and the City of Las Vegas Adaptive Recreation.

SOUL REVOLUTION:
A video document of Riot Grrrl’s ongoing legacy

http://www.facebook.com/pages/GIRLS-TO-THE-FRONT-The-True-Story-of-the-Riot-Grrrl-Revolution/133721649994103

*New, extended deadline: July 31!

Did Riot Grrrl (or any variety of DIY/punk feminism) change your life?

Whatever gender you are, whether you’re in your 40s or in your teens, whatever punk rock feminism means to you—we want to hear from you.

We (Cat Tyc and Sara Marcus) are making an interactive video installation at girlstothefront.com, in conjunction with Sara Marcus’s book about Riot Grrrl, Girls to the Front, that’s coming out this fall. The point isn’t to wax nostalgic—or, at least, not to dwell in nostalgia; it’s to acknowledge and celebrate the countless ways that the legacy of Riot Grrrl is still very much alive in all of our lives. And we need your contribution to make this happen.

Send us a video!!

It doesn’t have to be anything fancy. If you don’t have access to a real camera, you can shoot it on a cell phone or a laptop.* And short: 1–3 minutes is plenty. NEW, EXTENDED DEADLINE: JULY 31!

(*If you don’t have any way to shoot video, just send us a photo of yourself that portrays something important about you, and email us your answers to the questions. We’ll fit you in.)

In the video, tell us some or all of these four things:

1. Who are you?
2. Show us your life. (This means whatever’s important to you: art, work, family, home…anything.)
3. How did you first hear of Riot Grrrl (or punk feminism, or whatever)?
4. How has it shaped who you are today?

After it’s done, please send to girlstothefront [at] gmail.com via YouSendIt (www.yousendit.com) which is a free and easy way to send files.
