15DAYS

Halloween, celebrated each year on October 31, is a mix of ancient Celtic practices, Catholic and Roman religious rituals and European folk traditions that blended together over time to create the holiday we know today. In the 19th century, Halloween began to lose its religious connotation, becoming a more secular community-based children's holiday.

Things to do over the next two weeks

CULTURE CALENDAR

Downtown is the place for tricks and treats

hether you're a ghost, ghoul, vampire, or dancing zombie, downtown is the place to get your tricks and treats this Halloween. Scare on the Square is back and better than ever, with costume and scarecrow contests, trick or treating, lots of local vendors, and of course, the Thriller Parade. The event kicks off at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 30 in downtown Statesboro. With so much going on, be sure to check out the map to see where each activity is so you don't miss anything. Of course, the best part of Halloween (other than the candy) is always the costumes. And Scare on the Square draws the best costumes in town, whether you're 8 years old, 20 years old, or 47 in dog years. Yep, there's even a costume contest for animals, so don't skimp on turning your pet into a heinous beast and join in the contest at 7:30 p.m. The costume contest for children up to 17 years old begins at 6:30, and for everyone else at 8 p.m.. To sign up for each contest, just show up to the registration table 30 minutes before the contest starts. You don't even have to be alive to dress up for Halloween, as the scarecrow contest will pit local business' best against each other, as judges and everyone else get to vote on their favorite, with the winning business receiving free advertising.

Scare on the Square is also putting a twist on trick or treating this year, with Trunk or Treat, in which locals will compete in filling the trunks of their cars with spooky decorations and, of course, lots of candy. There's also plenty to do downtown if you're not competitive. There will be hay rides provided by the City of Statesboro, and Do Good DJ's will be spinning great music all night, with culminating in a street dance from 8-9 p.m., just before the highlight of the evening, when a horde of zombies will take to the street led by the 'Boro's own Michael Jackson to recreate Jackson's epic Thriller video. If you haven't seen it in previous years, the Thriller dance is not to be missed. Even if you have seen it before, still don't miss it. It's a lot of fun for all involved, and everyone winds up dancing, whether you're in the parade or not. "Last year, we had over 2,000 people come to Scare on the Square and we're expecting even more this year," said Tim Chapman, executive director of the Averitt Center and one of the planners of the event. "We tried to add activities this year so that there won't be any lulls between them. "We've also made the event multiple days now, in case people can't come on a certain night," he added.

On Thursday, Oct. 28, the events will kick off with a live band at 8 p.m. in the Emma Kelly Theater, followed at 9 by Rocky Horror Live. Featuring local performers and directed by Eddie Key, don't miss this great live rendition of the ubiquitous Rocky Horror experience for only $5. Ghost tours of Statesboro will also be ongoing throughout the week and weekend, with tours starting each day at 6:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. The tours at 6:30 cost $5 and the ones at 7:30, which are longer, are $8. The ghost tours and Rocky Horror show are the only events that cost money, as everything else involved with Scare on the Square is free, and the cost of those two activities will benefit downtown merchants. Downtown won't be deserted Friday night either, as the area will host a pep rally and tailgating for GSU's game against Sanford. Check out the article in this issue for more details. There's plenty to do this Halloween in Statesboro, but be sure to at least stop by downtown for a great kickoff for the night's parties, and to support our local downtown.

SCENE

Eagles Hope To Dominate Samford After Shutting Out Citadel

With A Tough 27-35 Loss At UTC, The Eagles Answer With A 20-0 Shutout Of Citadel BY MICHAEL TUCKER

fter a tough 27-35 conference loss against the Mocs of Chattanooga, the Georgia Southern Eagles made a quick bounce-back with a 20-0 shutout of the Bulldogs of the Citadel. As they move into week nine of the 2010 season to face the Samford University Bulldogs, the Eagles hope to improve on an overall record of 4-3, with a record of 2-2 in conference play. Although the Eagles left Chattanooga with a loss, the battle against the Mocs wasn’t a constant chase for the Eagles. Junior kicker Adrian Mora opened scoring five minutes into the first quarter with a 37-yard field goal for the Eagles and sophomore slotback J.J. Wilcox scored a first-quarter touchdown through a 58-yard pass from junior quarterback Jaybo Shaw, his longest pass with Georgia Southern, giving the Eagles a 10-7 lead going into the second quarter. The second quarter was opened with a spectacular 60-yard run from senior fullback Tobi Akinnranye. Added with another field goal from Adrian Mora, the Eagles ended the first half with 20 points on the board, but the Mocs weren’t trailing by much, hanging on to 14 points and gunning for the lead. After a promising first half, the Eagles began to struggle in the second, giving up two unanswered rushing touchdowns to the Mocs, as well as the lead. Moving into the fourth quarter, the Eagles were down 20-28 and fell even further after a Mocs’ 43-yard passing touchdown to start the fourth quar-

ter. Although quarterback Jaybo Shaw was able to punch in a rushing touchdown within the last two minutes of the game, it just wasn’t enough to overcome the Mocs’ lead, ending the game in a 27-35 loss for the Eagles, their third for the season and their second within the Southern Conference. Although the loss was tough for an hopeful Georgia Southern football team, sophomore defensive tackle Brent Russell walked away with his head held high. After recording seven tackles with one for a loss and a shared sack against the Mocs, he was voted the Georgia 8-11 “Lineman of the Week.” The banks of Beautiful Eagle Creek must have given the Eagles something to search their souls for because after a tough loss in Chattanooga, the boys in blue came back with a vengeance, especially on the defensive side of the ball. The Eagles held the Bulldogs from Citadel to only 160 yards of total offense, recording six fumble recoveries and three interceptions in their second SoCon win. After the Bulldogs gave away their first three possessions through turnovers, the Eagles’ made the most of good opportunities

and ended the first half of the game with a 10-0 lead. Freshman quarterback Jerick McKinnon scored a final touchdown in the third quarter to top off the Eagles’ 20-0 win and ended the game with an impressive 182 rushing yards. Although the offense put the points on the board, the Eagles’ defense was definitely the MVP of the game. With eight tackles for a loss, it’s no wonder the Mocs had such trouble finding the endzone. Junior safety Derek Heyden recorded 9 tackles for the night while junior defensive tackle Roderick Tinsley reached a career high seven tackles, including 2.5 tackles for a loss and a forced fumble. After a shutout against the Citadel, the Georgia Southern defense is coming off one of their best games of the season, which could definitely give the Eagles the upper hand in their week ten game against the Bulldogs of Samford. Although the Bulldogs are 3-4 overall and 1-3 in SoCon play, they may play the Eagles harder than their record may predict. Although the Bulldogs fell to Furman 10-27, they dominated Western Carolina in a 38-7 melee of the Catamounts.

Senior running back Chris Evans rushed for 131 yards and three touchdowns against Western Carolina, while sophomore quarterback Connor Lowery also had a big game with a 75-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jacobi Rodriguez that added some excitement to Samford’s win in Cullowhee, N.C. However, the Bulldogs are still coming to Statesboro as a slight underdog. The Eagles have proven throughout the season that, while they still have some growing to do, they’re able and hungry to take on tough opponents with one goal: a chance to play one more time. Teams like Navy, Elon, and Savannah State can all speak to the power and intensity that the Eagles bring to the field and I wouldn’t think that Coach Monken and the rest of Eagle Nation are ready to let that intensity take a break against the Bulldogs. As we move into the last few weeks of the regular season, let’s make sure that the Eagles receive the support they need to keep up the momentum as they look to take on the Bulldogs of Samford. With Appalachian State and Furman coming up in early November, this game could provide critical momentum to push the Eagles through some of their toughest games of the season. Let’s make sure Paulson is packed as the Eagles look to improve their record to 5-3 and as Georgia Southern honors some of its most memorable players during a special Hall of Fame ceremony! Saturday is gameday in Statesboro, so I’ll see you at Paulson!

MEMOIRS OF AN UNDERGRAD BY VANESSA TERRELL hese past couple of weeks I’ve been keeping busy with One Big Change, a non-profit that I work with whose mission is to help underprivileged students in Nicaragua continue their education. To raise awareness and funds, we held a couple of huge garage sales selling donated stuff, and all of the proceeds are going towards our students’ scholarships. I have a newfound respect for anyone who is brave enough to host a garage sale. If you’ve ever had one, you know how much work it is. The backaches and the sore feet were totally worth it though—we ended up raising just about $2,000! Since we worked so hard, I really wanted to play hard. I went out after Day 1 of our garage sale on Saturday night, thinking I could call it an early night and be rested enough to go for Day 2 at 8AM. It should be no surprise that the story doesn’t end that way. To start, I hit the Woodin Nickel early in the night, with my friend Angie who had the same mission as I had: to take advantage of the ease of getting a drink since it wasn’t too crowded yet and, of course, to visit our favorite bartender, Mike (he always takes good care of us!). Just after last call, we headed over to Rude Rudy’s— that’s where my night went into a whirlwind-like haze of no return. There’s something about that bar—or maybe it’s just any bar after 1AM—that sneaks up on you, causing you to abandon all sense of responsibility.

8 OCT 27 - NOV 9, 2010

Needless to say, I was dragging my tired ass out of bed on Sunday morning, barely functioning enough to set up for the sale. But after a couple Tylenols and a Grande latte I was back in action, at least enough to test out some of the merchandise. After a game of bocce ball we tested out some water guns. Note: Sundays are slow for garage sales. The following Saturday (Day 3) yielded some more successful garage selling thanks to our supportive community. We added up our totals and $2,000 blew our minds— and that, my friends, called for a celebration. A group of us had dinner at Mellow Mushroom and indulged ourselves with pizza and beer. Um, I had no idea what an impressive assortment of beer they have to offer; it’s nice to see that kind of variety in Statesboro. I tried a Pacifico, now a new favorite of mine, and I will definitely be returning to try more. After we fueled up, we retreated back to a friend’s place to partake in a good old-fashioned poker night. Though I didn’t win anything to call home about, I do think I found my calling. While the big boys played poker, our friends who don’t know the game sat at the kids table and played Uno. I may have lost in poker, but I definitely gained a lot in the past couple of weeks: a new beer preference, back pain (anyone know a good chiropractor?) but tons of gratitude towards our supporters for One Big Change, just to name a few. All I need now is a good Halloween costume…

You can also order the comic at Galactic Comics and Games. Here Curse of the VesselAccepted is a finalist in the Small Press Idol 2010 comic book competition. One of only four comics left standing out of the 53 that entered the competition, it boasts the most fan votes in SPI history, beating their closest competitor by 71 votes despite the competitors’ two day head start. The book is the story of Vincent Faustino, who has become an involuntary vessel for the dead. Once a brutal mafia enforcer, now his life is not his own. He has been branded with a magical sigil that allows spirits to possess his body at will. On the run from both his deadly former associates and law enforcement, he is wanted for murders and events he has no memory of. Vincent relentlessly hunts the man who cursed him, continually being hijacked by restless spirits who have their own personalities and agendas, both good and evil. This is the torture he must endure. This is the punishment for his evil past. This is the Curse of the Vessel. Small Press Idol is a competition much like American Idol, but for comic books. Each comic’s creative team must present materials of professional quality for four consecutive rounds or be eliminated.

Just in time for Halloween, Shannon Vineyards grand re-opening to preview new additions BY CARSON GREER

hannon Vineyards is one the most hidden local jewels of the Statesboro area and they are scheduled to have a grand reopening this Saturday, October 30, 2010. Shannon Vineyards is a beautiful place located just outside of Statesboro in Sylvania, GA. At Shannon Vineyards they have been growing Muscadines on their massive farmland and turning them into the most delicious wines. In addition to the California-esque vineyard and produce garden at Shannon Vineyards, there is a tasting room and winery. In the tasting room, you can enjoy a tasting of each wine made on site or a nice dinner prepared with fresh ingredients from the garden. The tasting room is open Tuesday-Saturday and reservations are required. At the winery you can take a tour and learn how each wine is made. Reservations for a tour of the winery are also required. The grand reopening next weekend is to highlight the upstairs area of the restaurant, which is to become a sports bar. They will be serving beer in addition to wine, and an upscale menu with unique twists on the bar food classics we all know. The upstairs area is an open deck that overlooks the entire vineyard. It is absolutely gorgeous! In this same area, they have pizza and karaoke every Friday night at Shannon

Vineyards. I don’t know about you, but upon discovering this place, I was a little upset that I hadn’t known about it sooner. For those of you looking for a unique dining experience, or simply something different to do any day of the week, I urge you to check out Shannon Vineyards. Seek and you shall find, Statesboro. This is truly one of the best discoveries of mine since living in this area.

Barefoot Booyah calls Statesboro home and plays selfdescribed folk/crunk music. The duo met in 2007, and unlike a lot of local bands, actually write their own songs, but we bet they’d play a little Widespread if you asked nicely. Sammy B.

Jack Johnson has announced that his ongoing To the Sea Tour is partnering up with local and national non-profit organizations in areas that were affected by the Gulf oil spill to help accrue donations and encourage volunteerism.

VIEWS

The stonewalled, illogical healthcare system

t wasn’t exactly a medical crisis, but I was in a panic nonetheless. My daughter, away at summer camp, couldn’t find her emergency inhaler. This was not her fault. I, her scatter-brained mother, had somehow packed two empty inhaler boxes in her suitcase, but no actual inhaler. The 4-H staff was sympathetic and helpful. They were also six hours away, in North Carolina, where my daughter was happily skipping through clouds of foreign pollen, inhaling billions of possible anaphylactic shock triggers. As we pondered ways of solving this dilemma, one of the staff came up with a great idea. “Can you get her doctor to call in a prescription to a pharmacy here?” she suggested. “Then one of us could pick it up for you.” A rush of gratitude replaced the panic. Yes, this seemed an imminently sensible idea. Two quick phone calls, and one medical crisis averted, all without my having to drive to North Carolina, fingers crossed, praying with every mile that I got there before my child wheezed herself into the ER. The first call went well. My doctor zipped a prescription to the pharmacy, a national chain store, and I called them to let them know the situation. The clerk was apologetic. “I’m sorry, ma’am, we don’t take payments over the phone. I mean, we have the capability, but it’s against store policy.” She asked if I’d like to talk to the store manager. She said it with relief, and I was relieved too. We were passing the problem upward, to someone with the authority to make it go away. Alas, this wasn‘t the case. “We don’t take payments over the phone,” said the manager. “But you can.” “We can. But we don’t.” I hadn’t been expecting the bureaucratic stonewall. You don’t play with asthma. It kills people, big strong quarterback-looking people, because no matter how otherwise healthy you are, with asthma, you are one unsuccessful inhale away from being a corpse. I explained the situation again, very calmly and reasonably. The manager got flustered, but held firm. I took a deep breath, one that quelled the panic instantly. Because I suddenly knew what I was dealing with. The System. “My child is in a dangerous predicament,” I said. “The medicine she needs is on your counter. Can you think of any way that we can get that medicine to her before something awful happens?” I used the pronoun “we” tactically — if this distant anonymous manager could decide that this was a shared problem, then perhaps we’d be able to put our heads together and solve said problem. “I’m sorry,” she said. “I cannot help you.” I hung up. And then I pulled up the corporate website for this store and called their customer service desk. Within five minutes, I was talking to the regional manager‘s office. Within fifteen minutes, I was giving my credit card information over the phone to the pharmacy, and within one hour, my child had her medicine in her backpack. I was reminded of this situation recently, as I was reading a very fine book by a very fine former colleague: Cover Me: A Health Insurance Memoir by Sonya Huber. In it, she describes how she navigates both The System and all the other hardscrabble, back alley, do-it-yourself BY TINA WHITTLE

16 OCT 27 - NOV 9, 2010

systems that make up American healthcare. “I learned,“ she writes, “that the system itself was irrational, logically inconsistent, and that if I went into it with a bit of logic and a bit of force, I already had the upper hand.” It should have been easy for that store manager to say, let me make a call. I had to tap into the hierarchy myself and let it rain down orders from on high. I knew this exploitable point within The System — power always flows downhill, and power recognizes a potential PR nightmare when it sees one. I have no neat moral for this story. But as I read

Huber’s book, I was reminded of this experience, and of the fact that in any viable organic system, information flows both top-down and bottom-up. Your brain pays attention to your fingertips and vice versa. Without this two-way street, the organism inevitably collapses. The right to basic healthcare is not only for the wealthy, the lucky and the gainfully employed. And until we have a system that engages everyone’s voice — top to bottom and bottom to top and side to side — we’ll have the stonewalled, the disempowered, and the illogical. My fellow Americans, we can do better. And if we want to call ourselves great, we have to.

‘THE BEST OF’ FROM WEEKLY COLLEGE NEWSPAPERS - COLLEGE MEDIA NETWORK

Three Ohio State grads behind creation of Four Loko, a new caffeinated alcoholic drink (College Media Network 10/26/10 The Columbus Dispatch)

hree Ohio State University graduates' invention is at the center of a national debate: Are caffeinated alcoholic drinks safe? Chris Hunter, Jason Freeman and Jeff Wright came up with the idea for Four Loko in 2005, after noticing that students were mixing alcohol and caffeine in bars. The trio, who met while studying at Ohio State, formed Phusion Projects LLC and started selling 23.5ounce malt beverages on convenience-store shelves near campuses. Four Loko costs $2.50 a can. But critics say that Four Loko which contains 12 percent alcohol and as much caffeine as a 12-ounce coffee - are dangerous because they keep drunks awake and engaging in riskier behavior longer. Rob McKenna, the attorney general in Washington state, said all states should ban the products. McKenna is leading the call after a report this week determined that nine Central Washington University freshmen were hospitalized after mixing Four Loko with more alcohol. The founders of Chicago-based Phusion released a statement today saying they support the goal of making college campuses safe but "know that curbing alcohol abuse on college campuses will not be accomplished by singling out a lone product or beverage category." Hunter would not comment further on a possible ban but said the label warning consumers that Four

Loko contains alcohol is as large as the federal government allows. In Columbus, Four Loko is becoming more popular with college students looking for a cheap way to get drunk, said Micah Kamrass, a senior and president of OSU's undergraduate student government. “If it's not Four Loko, it will probably be something else," he said. Terry Koons, associate director of OU's campus involvement center, said he is concerned that more students are turning to caffeinated alcoholic drinks. He said the school is educating students about the dangers, especially going into Halloween weekend, which typically has been a big party weekend in Athens. Drinking one Four Loko is the same as drinking three or four alcoholic beverages, Koons said, which wreaks havoc on one's cardiovascular system because alcohol goes through the system so quickly. “They may feel less intoxicated, so they drink more, but then your body is fighting the effects of alcohol,” he said.

Northwestern Students Warned About Costumes Following Blackface Outrage

them to make better Halloween costume choices this year. "Halloween is unfortunately a time when the normal thoughtfulness and sensitivity of most NU students can be forgotten and some poor decisions are made," Howard wrote in the email obtained by Gawker. "Blackface, for those who do not know, or do not remember involves the darkening one's skin with polish, paint or some other substance with the goal of impersonating a person of African descent-has been a recurring practice over the past several generations. Blackface costumes, particularly during Halloween are not isolated expressions." Howard went on to explain that blackface costumes are offensive, and that "ghetto parties", "pimps and hos" and "gangsta" parties are not appropriate. He also encouraged students to do some research on the response to the poor costume choices in previous years at the college. Last year, one white student wore blackface and a T-shirt with the word "Jamaica" on it. The other dressed as a female tennis player in blackface, wearing a stuffed bra and carrying a tennis racket.

(College Media Network 10/27/10)

ast year, two white students at Northwestern University caused outrage throughout the Evanston campus after photos of them wearing blackface for Halloween surfaced on Facebook. This year, the school's administrator decided to take precautionary measures. On Tuesday morning, Dean Burgwell J. Howard sent an email to Northwestern students encouraging

"Truthfully, when I saw photos of the blackface kid, I laughed myself out of my chair," junior Carlton Barzon wrote in the student paper last year. "I could only think, "Wow. How can someone intelligent enough to be admitted to Northwestern University, 'Harvard of the Midwest,' lack the tact to recognize such a racially inflammatory costume choice?"

The 411 on dumb Bulloch County crime SUMMARIZED BY CORY CUNNINGHAM

Drive it yourself taxi? Around midnight on Oct. 22, a drunknen man at Buffalo's tried to hop in another man's blue bus and drive off, but the owner spotted him and stopped the bus. The man was detained until police arrived, who arrested him for DUI, public drunkeness and criminal trespass. Maybe he thought it was one of those new do-ityourself taxis? Some people don't think things through. Such as one woman who was digging through other people's cars in the Wal-Mart parking lot on Oct. 22 and was caught and arrested, and also charged for the narcotic pill she had in her purse. A 19-year-old woman was arrested for DUI under 21 after a police officer spotted her driving in a turn lane near Greenbriar Apartments on Oct. 23. An employee of Petco reported that, while she was working out front of

the store on Oct. 23, a man drove by in a gray truck and committed an indecent act toward her before speeding off.

Fee-Fi-Fo-Dumb... Police responded to a domestic call on Pine Street Oct. 23 to find the front door kicked in and lying on the floor, and a bruise on the head of the woman who called them. The man responsible was caught and arrested, and when police searched him they found a bag of cocaine on his person.

Maple Act A man reported to police on Oct. 21 that someone had vandalized his car by pouring syrup and ash on the hood.

Dirty Crimes On Oct. 20, an employee of PoJo's reported a shoplifter was caught on tape stealing several items: a bar of soap, Febreeze, Pine Sol, and Lysol. I guess crime really is dirty.

The winner of the competition receives a four-issue publishing deal, with an option more, as well as a small cash prize. Also, Shocker Toys will create an action figure of one of the characters of the winning comic to be sold in comic shops around the world. "I'm optimistic. We've established a big fan base," McElveen said, adding that having another competitor in the contest from the Statesboro area helped Curse of the Vessel to gain fans, as more people from around here were aware of the contest as might have otherwise been. McElveen served as colorist on the project, which was written by Michael Leal, pen-

ciled by Danny Kelly, and inked by Nick Poliwko. The project is an international endeavor, with the creators homes' spanning from here to New Jersey, Oregon and Canada. McElveen and his co-creators have collaborated on the project throughout the contest through facebook and email, and are no in the home stretch as the pilot issue is about to be released. The team has already begun preparing for the next issue in the series, and plan to begin work shortly after the pilot issue is released. Make sure this story has a happy ending by buying your copy of Curse of the Vessel now.

SAGITARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Sagittarius is warm and friendly. You like to talk a great deal making it difficult for others to get a word in edgewise. The stress you and other signs have been feeling lately must be dealt with. The tension you are under stays with you for the next eight years.

This week a big change could happen to help you deal with it all. As you know, money is tight this month but improves next month.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Capricorn is very often politically minded. Capricorn is also patient, reserved, cautious, faithful and shrewd. Be prepared as a very busy month is now starting for you. Your energies are high and you can handle the increased activity with ease. Business expansion should be curtailed now until the end of February 2011. Your timing this month is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;right on the ballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; so go ahead with your plans. Money should be pouring into your pockets.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Aquarius has a strong will, and is inventive, and will always enjoy doing the unexpected, but you can be self centered. As other signs are also experiencing; this is a week for changes. If you can not willingly make those changes, then they might be forced upon you by others. Your life and your direction should be altered. It can simply be reformed or transformed, depending on your present attitude, but whatever is happening is the end result.

LEO (July 23-August 22): Leo is colorful, self assured, outgoing, impulsive and expansive. Some big changes and surprises are happening this week in the world around you.

&RS\ULJKW Â&#x2039; 3X]]OH-XQFWLRQ FRP

SCORPIO (October 23-Nov 21): You are very intense, strong willed, determined and secretive. You can be willful and sarcastic, but a deep thinker with a fine mind. The correct solutions to the direction your life should be taking are right in front of you. Go back over some of the things you have been doing lately and you will find what you have missed the last time around. An opportunity is waiting out there for you if you can only see it. Make a list of recent activities with your thoughts about each incident and then perhaps this will help you to find your way.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You are practical, peace loving, stubborn, and deliberate. Taurus has a natural interest in money, and you like the finer things in life. If you have not yet learned the lessons life that have been thrown at you lately, you may be in for a wicked surprise this week. If you have properly absorbed them, then this week may find you settling down. You need to examine your recent experiences to find a proper solution. You might have to go over the same ground you have been covering to find out what you may have overlooked.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancer is sentimental, sensitive, and needs to have a sense of security. Cancer is intensely romantic and has a vivid imagination. This is a very busy month as others have you running their errands and filling in for them now and then. Other people are suddenly making changes that seem to be of a benefit to you. You have some excellent ideas and people (especially the boss) are willing to listen and consider them. Next week you may find your ideas being implemented. Expect a few pats on the back for your input.

LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct 22): Libra is artistic, musical, level headed, sympathetic, and generous. You can be gossipy, critical, and bitter. There are great changes for you this week! Whatever change is occurring now should benefit you in the long run even if you do not see it right away. Luck is still on your side. Be on the lookout for opportunities coming your way from next week through January 2011. Listen to your partner or best friend during that period and take advantage of whatever it is they offer to you.

You will say things without thinking. You can be arrogant, presumptuous, and your own interests will come first. There are changes and surprises brewing this week. Opportunity presents itself the end of this week and will remain there for about a year. Be sure to take advantage of itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expansive nature just as you have in the past or should have done. Opportunities will fall into your lap and you have to be ready to accept the responsibility that comes with them.
