Many people are more recently trying to do what is best for the Earth and their health by going "green". The term 'green' is used by environmentalists. It is a lifestyle change. By becoming green, we are becoming more connected to the community that we live in. Defined by the Environmental Protection Agency, being sustainable is, "the ability to achieve continued economic prosperity while protecting the natural system of the planet and providing a high quality for its people." The act of sustainability includes the cars we drive, the way we build our houses, the food we eat, water we drink and the waste we generate.
One way of doing this is to recycle. There are many recycling centers around that are free of charge, and all curb-side garbage pick up offers recycling pick up as well for a small fee. Another way to help out is to reduce the use of toxic substances. Toxic substances are any chemicals or mixtures that are harmful to the environment, animals or humans if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed into the skin. There are many ways of going about this.
Do not use insecticides, pesticides, weed killers, lawn chemicals and flea and tick products. There are non-toxic alternatives to all of these that are better for the environment and also the people and animals that come into contact with it. Using gentle castile soap instead of antibacterial soaps is recommended. Products that have the ingredient triclosan should be avoided as well.
Paint is a big problem for the environment. Paints contain volatile organic compounds (VOC). Breathing in these VOCs can cause headaches, fatigue, dizziness and difficulty breathing. Long-term exposures to these toxins have been known to be a major cause of cancer and brain damage. There are paints that have low VOCs or no VOCs in them. These are your best choices.
Air pollution inside the house can be up to 100 times higher than the outside air pollution. Carpets are a big culprit. Avoid carpets whenever possible. Carpets hold onto everything including pesticides, air pollution, lead and mercury. The glues and adhesives used in installation are highly toxic and are still present in the air many years after installation. These can be harmful to your family, especially the children. Children spend much of their time on the floors crawling, falling or playing. There is a very strong relationship to cleaning carpets and Kawasacki Disease. This illness strikes 15 out of 100,000 children under the age of five each year in the United States. It is the leading cause of acquired heart disease among children. Experts believe that the chemicals used in cleaning carpets as well as the chemicals used in creating and installing the carpets have a direct link to a child getting Kawasacki Disease. The CHEC, Children's Health Environmental Coalition, recommends using natural carpet cleaning supplies as well as keeping the children out of the house for at least four hours after cleaning the carpets.
For babies, being natural and organic is even more important. Babies are much more susceptible to pollutants that adults are. Babies are put almost immediately following birth into a disposable diaper. They then spend their first two to four years in diapers or Pull-ups. Disposable diapers release VOCs including toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene and dipentene. These VOCs have shown to have toxic health effects, such as cancer and brain damage. There is even a possible link between diaper emissions and asthma.
The main absorbent filler in disposable diapers, sodium polyacrylate, could cause respiratory and skin problems. Almost all diapers are bleached white with chlorine. Diapers also have trace amounts of a highly carcinogenic byproduct of chlorine bleaching called dioxin. Disposable diapers do not biodegrade well either. This causes yet another problem. Disposable diapers use 1.3 million tons of wood pulp, which is a quarter of a million trees, along with plastics that are made from petroleum resources.
Eating more organic and natural foods are a good place to start living more green. Jennifer La Porta-Peschel, General Manager of Earthlight Natural Foods says "slowly replacing things in the cabinet one at a time with organic or natural stuff is a great place to start the change."
She added that, "being green and eating healthier is a lifestyle change."
Earthlight Natural Foods is a family-owned and operated store that has been in our area for over 30 years.
They have a big selection of organic foods and products, chemical-free alternatives to body care and cleaning supplies, wheat and gluten free foods and even natural pet foods.
"With the big pet food recall recently, there have been more people coming in for natural alternatives for their pets," LaPorta-Peschel said. They also have a huge selection of vitamins and supplements and they are all to the highest standards with no additives in them.
Earthlight shopper, Christine Meyer of Snydersville said the reason that she shops here is because, "the variety and the helpful and friendly staff brings me back time and time again. The staff is very knowledgeable about the organic and natural choices available."
It seems that helping your family to be healthy and to help the earth in its quest to becoming healthier is not as hard as many may believe it to be.
Start slow and replace a few items at a time, starting with the biggest offenders first. Earthlight Natural Foods has everything you will need to make and keep a change.
"I have a solar house that is completely off the grid. I use cloth diapers and breastfeed exclusively. I compost and recycle everything," Jamielynn Deluccio, a former Bushkill resident said. "I never really thought about it until I got pregnant and started reading about an environmentally safer life."
She now lives in Colorado with her husband and new daughter. They live totally organic and natural.
There is an Earthlight store in Stroudsburg, one in Tannersville and one in Brodheadsville.
The Web site offers helpful information, www.earthlightnaturalfoods.com.
They are open seven days a week.

A depressive disorder is an illness that involves the body, mood, and thoughts.
It affects the way a person eats and sleeps, the way one feels about oneself, and the way one thinks …
A depressive disorder is not the same as a passing blue mood. It is not a sign of personal weakness or a condition that can be willed or wished away. People with a depressive illness cannot merely "pull themselves together" and get better.
Without treatment, symptoms can last for weeks, months, or years. Appropriate treatment, however, can help most people who suffer from depression.
Depression can strike anyone, but people with serious illnesses such as stroke may be at greater risk. Depressive disorders make one feel exhausted, worthless, helpless, and hopeless. Such negative thoughts and feelings make some people feel like giving up.
It is important to realize that these negative views are part of the depression and typically do not accurately reflect the actual circumstances. Negative thinking fades as treatment begins to take effect. Learn how to help yourself if you feel / or have been diagnosed as depressed.
Types of Depression
There are different types of depressions, just as is the case with other illnesses such as heart disease. Here we describe three of the most common types of depressive disorders. However, within these different types of depression, there are variations in the number of symptoms, their severity, and persistence.
Major depression
Major depression is manifested by a combination of symptoms (see symptom list below) that interfere with the ability to work, study, sleep, eat, and enjoy once-pleasurable activities. Such a disabling episode of depression may occur only once but more commonly occurs several times in a lifetime.
A less severe type of depression, dysthymia, involves long-term, chronic symptoms that do not disable but keep one from functioning well or from feeling good. Many people with dysthymia also experience major depressive episodes at some time in their lives.
Bipolar Disorder
Another type of depression is bipolar disorder, also called manic-depressive illness. Not nearly as prevalent as other forms of depressive disorders, bipolar disorder is characterized by cycling mood changes: severe highs (mania) and lows (depression). Sometimes the mood switches are dramatic and rapid, but most often they are gradual. When in the depressed cycle, an individual can have any or all of the symptoms of a depressive disorder.
When in the manic cycle, the individual may be overactive, overtalkative, and have a great deal of energy. Mania often affects thinking, judgment, and social behavior in ways that cause serious problems and embarrassment. For example, the individual in a manic phase may feel elated, full of grand schemes that might range from unwise business decisions to romantic sprees. Mania, left untreated, may worsen to a psychotic state.
Exercise Plays an Important Role in Maintaining Health
Exercise increases circulation and helps remove the toxins and impurities that have accumulated in the physiology
These deposits are a major factor in the breakdown of the resistance of the body. Exercise is a key procedure for helping the body's natural internal cleansing processes.
Exercise Instructions for all body types
Not everyone who is depressed or manic experiences every symptom. Some people experience a few symptoms, some many. The severity of symptoms varies with individuals and also varies over time. Additionally, a person can experience different types of depression.
- Persistent sad, anxious, or "empty" mood
- Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism
- Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness
- Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities that were once enjoyed, including sex
- Decreased energy, fatigue, being "slowed down"
- Difficulty concentrating, remembering, making decisions
- Insomnia, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping
- Appetite and/or weight loss or overeating and weight gain
- Thoughts of death or suicide; suicide attempts
- Restlessness, irritability
- Persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment, such as headaches, digestive disorders, and chronic pain
- Abnormal or excessive elation
- Unusual irritability
- Decreased need for sleep
- Grandiose notions
- Increased talking
- Racing thoughts
- Increased sexual desire
- Markedly increased energy
- Poor judgment
- Inappropriate social behavior
The first step to getting appropriate treatment for depression is a physical examination by a physician. Certain medications, as well as some medical conditions such as a viral infection, can cause the same symptoms as depression, and the physician should rule out these possibilities through examination, interview, and lab tests. If a physical cause for the depression is ruled out, a psychological evaluation should be done, by the physician or by referral to a psychiatrist or psychologist.
A good diagnostic evaluation will include a complete history of symptoms, i.e., when they started, how long they have lasted, how severe they are, whether the patient had them before and, if so, whether the symptoms were treated and what treatment was given. The doctor should ask about alcohol and drug use, and if the patient has thoughts about death or suicide. Further, a history should include questions about whether other family members have had a depressive illness and, if treated, what treatments they may have received and which were effective.
Last, a diagnostic evaluation should include a mental status examination to determine if speech or thought patterns or memory have been affected, as sometimes happens in the case of a depressive or manic-depressive illness.
What Causes Depression?
Some types of depression run in families, suggesting that a biological vulnerability can be inherited. This seems to be the case with bipolar disorder. Studies of families in which members of each generation develop bipolar disorder found that those with the illness have a somewhat different genetic makeup than those who do not get ill.
However, the reverse is not true: Not everybody with the genetic makeup that causes vulnerability to bipolar disorder will have the illness. Apparently, additional factors, possibly stresses at home, work, or school, are involved in its onset.
In some families, major depression also seems to occur generation after generation. However, it can also occur in people who have no family history of depression. Whether inherited or not, major depressive disorder is often associated with changes in brain structures or brain function.
Furthermore, members of the same family may each experience different types of depression.
People who have low self-esteem, who consistently view themselves and the world with pessimism or who are readily overwhelmed by stress, are prone to depression. Whether this represents a psychological predisposition or an early form of the illness is not clear.
In recent years, researchers have shown that physical changes in the body can be accompanied by mental changes as well. Medical illnesses such as stroke, a heart attack, cancer, Parkinson's disease, and hormonal disorders can cause depressive illness, making the sick person apathetic and unwilling to care for his or her physical needs, thus prolonging the recovery period.
Also, a serious loss, difficult relationship, financial problem, or any stressful (unwelcome or even desired) change in life patterns can trigger a depressive episode. Very often, a combination of genetic, psychological, and environmental factors is involved in the onset of a depressive disorder. Future episodes of illness typically are precipitated by only mild stresses or none at all.
In conclusion; there are different types of depression. The triggers for depression may be environmental, genetic or the result of another illness such as stroke. Seeking expert medical treatment early can prevent depression getting out of hand.
Additionally, because there are different types of depression, what works for one person may not work for another. If you are depressed, or care for someone else who is, see the treatment options listed below…

Finding 'Hidden Figures' everywhere
Justice Shorter, a crisis communication professional who specializes in policy advocacy, strategic communication and inclusion, earned her MA in Sustainable Development. In this Medium.com article, referring to the Oscar-winning film "Hidden Figures," Justice writes:
"Hidden Figures can be found everywhere — among youth who identify new ways to reshape our social relationships while acknowledging issues at the intersection of identity. You can find them within groups of ethnic and religious minorities who strive for equal rights by combating mistrust, stereotypes and discrimination. You can find them among people with disabilities who break barriers and excel in positions that were historically held by those without disabilities. And among employees who institutionalize policies of inclusion while simultaneously holding supervisory staff accountable for implementing more equitable practices."

The nearshore Lagansky block license contains the giant, undeveloped Morskoye oil discovery with best estimate gross contingent resources of 157 million bbl of oil equivalent.
The consideration, not disclosed in the heads of agreement, is related to historical costs spent on the Lagansky block license by Lundin Petroleum and Gunvor and will be made in deferred payments. After the transaction is completed, Lundin Petroleum will have an indirect 34.3% interest in the block license through its shareholding in LLC Petroresurs.
As part of the agreement, Rosneft and Lundin Petroleum have agreed to investigate possible cooperation in the Norwegian and Russian offshore sectors.
Ashley Heppenstall, Lundin Petroleum president and chief executive officer, said, "This transaction will allow the partners to realize the full potential of this exciting opportunity and to move forward with appraisal and development."
Moreskoye lies off Russia's Kalmykia Republic more than 200 miles west-southwest of supergiant Kashagan field in the Caspian off Kazakhstan. North Caspian Operating Co. BV (NCOC), on behalf of the North Caspian Sea PSA Consortium, placed Kashagan on production last month.

Acupuncture is becoming a popular medical treatment for cats. The ancient procedure has been proven to help with a number of human ailments. But now acupuncturists are expanding into new territory — pet care.
Why is Cat Acupuncture A Real Thing?
Cats were one of the first animals to receive acupuncture treatments. Since then, acupuncture treatments for cats have become popular enough to be covered by most pet insurance plans. How does acupuncture affect cats? The non-invasive treatment has been shown to improve cat health problems ranging from arthritis to anxiety.
The treatment is also used to help a number of other chronic health problems in cats. Veterinarians often prescribe acupuncture treatments to help with arthritis and long-term pain. The treatments can also be used to help with chronic kidney and liver problems. And several cat insurance plans even offer acupuncture in their standard plan or as an extra add-on. Procedures have even been developed to help cats with asthma and allergies.
Acupuncture is also used in some serious illnesses, such as cancer. Much like humans, cats can undergo a number of different treatments when battling a disease like cancer. Chemotherapy treatments, for example, can cause a great deal of pain and stress on the animal. Acupuncture is a way to help relieve some of these issues and make treatment more bearable.
The process is very similar to what a human might experience. Acupuncturists use small needles to stimulate healing. These needles help increase nerve functions and circulation. This helps send messages to the brain, allowing it to respond appropriately to the ailment.
Despite sounding like it would be painful, the procedure is actually very gentle and painless. Most patients and pets feel very relaxed and calm after they have had their treatment.
After the acupuncture treatment, cats tend to feel more energetic and social. While they may want some sleep immediately after the visit, the effects of the session can be seen rather quickly. Many veterinarians will prescribe only a few sessions at a time, allowing the cat to get the maximum benefits from each one.
While these new treatments are seen as positive, some people still worry about the price of treatment. Many pet insurance companies are assuring owners that treatments can be covered if they are deemed medically necessary. This makes acupuncture treatments a more accessible solution for owners who are concerned about their pet's well-being.

PARIS — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Sunday defended his government's backing of a controversial pipeline project, saying the world could not afford to choose between the environment and the economy.
In an interview with French business daily Les Echos ahead of a visit to Paris, Trudeau acknowledged that environmentalists were "concerned" by the Trans Mountain pipeline.
But he said, "Canadians and people around the world know that we cannot choose between what is good for the environment and good for the economy."
"You have to do both at the same time, and above all, you have to fund the transition towards reduced use of fossil fuels."
On Thursday, the Liberal premier cut short a visit to Peru to try defuse a threatened constitutional crisis over expanding a 1,150-kilometer (715-mile) pipeline to move 890,000 barrels of oil per day from landlocked Alberta's oil sands to the Pacific coast.
Opponents of the pipeline point to the risk of oil spills at sea and say it flouts Trudeau's commitments to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
"We cannot change everything in our economies overnight," Trudeau said.
"It's clear that people on the left and ecologists are concerned but there are also people on the right who do not like the idea of a carbon tax."
He assured that Canada, which will introduce a national carbon tax next year, would meet its targets under the 2015 Paris accord on combatting climate change.
On Monday, Trudeau will hold talks with President Emmanuel Macron at the start of a two-day visit, during which he will also address France's National Assembly. — AFP

Tips on Buying a Prom Dress Online
Prom is every teenager's fantasy come true and this makes a good prom dress a key part of the prom night experience. Online shops offer the convenience of shopping for a prom dress from the comfort of one's home. However, there are many online shops and getting a good prom dress can be quite a hustle. Discussed below are some tips that will help you get the best prom dress.
Opt for high caliber stores online
It is easy to choose cheap prom dresses online. However, this does not mean that cheap online shops offer the best deals and neither do expensive price tags equate to high quality dresses. The best thing would be to look for shops that have a good reputation on renowned ecommerce sites or reputable third party websites. There are some shops that do not have any reviews online but before settling on such shops make sure you have done your homework. The Internet never forgets thus any search on an online shop will yield reviews.
You not only need to know your measurements but also make sure that they match those that the shop uses to avoid any surprises.
Spending your hard earned money then getting a dress too small for you is catastrophic. In order to avoid such nasty surprises know your dress size then match them to measurements used by the shop. If you are not sure just call up the store or email them for clarification.
Bookmark dresses you like
Shopping for a dress online might involve perusing through multiple websites and dress categories. It is easy to get lost. In order to avoid getting lost create a folder that has all the bookmarked dresses that tickled your fancy. When you are done searching the web then you can search through the dresses you have chosen and pick one. Some websites have extra features that enable you gather opinions from allies and family by sending them a list of dresses you had chosen.
Buy shoes and accessories online
Most people do not know that if you buy the dress, shoes and accessories online you are likely to get a discount from the seller. Even if the shop has not stated that they will offer you a discount but you can always ask them. Most times they will gladly offer you a discount.
Purchase the prom dress one to three months in advance
When buying a prom dress shop for it early enough. The best thing would be to order for the dress about 2-3 months in advance before the prom night. This will ensure that the prom dress arrives early enough.

"In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes," Andy Warhol said in 1968. When YouTube launched 37 years later, people began taking that prophecy more literally.
Comedian Daniel Tosh, who'll be at the Civic Center next week, has made a career of skewering them - most notably on his highly-rated Comedy Central show "Tosh.0," which debuted in 2009. He's taken shots at such instant celebrities as Afro Ninja, Keyboard Cat, Tay Zonday ("Chocolate Rain") and The Naked Wizard.
Editor's warning: The videos in this story are not appropriate for young viewers and may not be safe for work.
Most videos go unnoticed, but some become hugely popular, generating hundreds of thousands of views overnight. Content producers try to figure out the difference between the former and the latter.
Phil Keeling is an editor with Classy Hands, a Savannah-based web magazine that's more like a digital comedy troupe. Their video "Ferris Club" has more than 400,000 views on YouTube, plus the approval of author Chuck Palahniuk. The spoof trailer combines "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" with Palahniuk's "Fight Club." It's the sort of bent humor that might be too far-fetched for television but thrives on the Internet.
"YouTube is great for exposing America to pure absurdism," Keeling says. "'Random' is the most-thought word on the Internet. So much of humor nowadays is just, 'What the hell was that?' And it makes no sense, but you can't help but laugh."
Andrew Davies, creative director of Paragon Design Group, has seen that sensibility carry over into advertising, too.
"It's definitely broadened my sense of humor," says Davies, who got caught up watching Velveeta's "Liquid Gold" commercials on YouTube. They feature a cheese-loving blacksmith whose catchphrase is "wield the skillet - forge the family dinner."
"After watching a few I realized I'd been laughing out loud to all of them," Davies says.
Randomness itself has become a viral-video genre. Cute and Terrible are also popular categories.
"Put a cat in there, and you're set," Davies says. "Oh, and babies. Babies are second," he adds.
Viral videos that focus on pain fascinate local stand-up comedian Steven Clark.
"It's like all those kids who were on 'America's Funniest Home Videos' hitting their dads in the groins with Wiffel bats grew up and got aluminum ones," Clark says. "People love to see other people getting hurt."
And then there's the other type of painful video - the kind that induces second-hand embarrassment. "There have always been weirdos in small towns across America," Keeling says. "Now we're realizing just how many small towns there are."
Some traits are so consistent that it seems formulaic, as if anyone could follow a recipe to achieve Internet fame. But Davies believes there's something more nuanced at work.
"The principle is really to do something unexpected," he says. "We're all so inundated with visuals, so when you think you know where one is going but then it surprises you, it's great."
Davies is glad to see average people - not just Hollywood stars - have platforms. Who knows? Maybe everyone will get creative or injured enough to steal the spotlight for a few minutes.
But for now, a better guess: In the future, every cat will be famous for 15 seconds.
Savannah's Viral Videos
Here are four of Savannah's most popular YouTube exports, in no particular order. If we missed one, let us know in the comments section. Watch the videos by clicking in the video tab at top left or below.
• "The Lorax." A Grindhouse retelling of Dr. Seuss' classic tale. You probably shouldn't watch this at work. Nowhere near as irreverent as the Internet gets, but it gives you an idea. Brought to you by Classy Hands.
• "Shane Sings Five Octaves on the Piano." Shane has recorded hundreds of videos of himself performing music. This particularly ambitious one - in which his face twitches and contorts as he reaches higher on the scale - got international attention with more than 1 million views. Click here to watch this video.
• "Ferris Club." Ferris is to Cameron as Tyler Durden is to Ed Norton's character in "Fight Club." The Ferrari-kicking scene works particularly well. Another Classy Hands success.
• "Little Ghost Boy in Colonial Park Cemetery." Savannah is the most haunted city in America, so we'd better have some viral ghost vids to show for it. This one purportedly records a young apparition skipping through Colonial Park Cemetery, then hopping into a tree.
• You can see Steven Clark and other local comedians 8 p.m. April 11 at the Boiler Room, 302 Williamson St.
• Phil Keeling's debut comedy album, "Conquistadork," is out now.

|Carlos Slim announcing a new educational app in Mexico City on June 15, 2016 Photo credit: Carlos Slim Foundation
As part of his philosophy that philanthropic foundations do not solve poverty but knowledge does, Mexican telecom tycoon Carlos Slim Helú launched Aprende.org, a free online educational platform aimed at expanding opportunities to anyone with a smartphone and an internet connection, his foundation announced Wednesday.
"This is an important achievement for Mexico and can be a model for other nations," Slim said during a press conference at his Museo Soumaya in Mexico City, according to Uno TV, Slim's online TV news channel.
Slim made the announcement to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Carlos Slim Foundation, which focuses on education and health care and reportedly has an endowment of $5.5 billion.
Mexico's richest person explained that Aprende (which means "learn" in Spanish) is a platform with educational, cultural and job training content aimed at improving people's job opportunities by earning diplomas free of charge. An agreement with Mexico's Department of Education has already been signed to validate the diplomas in Mexico's education system.
Free courses are being offered in the fields of mathematics, history, science and culture when users connect via Telcel and Infinitum, Slim's América Móvil mobile carriers. Other mobile or fixed devices can also connect, but not free of charge.
Slim anticipates that América Móvil's competitors will likely be encouraged to also offer Aprende free of a connection charge.
One of Mexico's biggest problems is the lack of access to affordable education. Mexico is the sole OECD country where 15 to 29 year-olds are likely to spend more time in employment than in education. More than 20% of 15-29 year-old Mexicans are neither employed nor in education or traini

What you'll be doing is helping me with a book I've been working on for more than a decade, and which now finally has a chance to see the light of day.
If you have any queries about how the process works, this blog post will help. If you'd like to read a summary of the conversations that have been going on around the book (including coverage in Wired, the Telegraph, the Independent and BBC Radio 4), please read this. You can also read what some wonderful writers have been saying about the book.
If you've already pledged, thank you (though please feel free to pledge again as a gift). If you haven't subscribed yet, now is your chance. The £5 voucher is available to anyone, but only until 12 June. All the details are here.

A Box of Birds: update
A Box of Birds is now 60% funded. Lots of people have pledged support to make this book happen, but there is still a way to go. Here are some things you can do to help.
1. Spread the word. I have been doing a lot of publicity around the book, and there are plenty of ways of getting into the conversation. I've tweeted about it a lot, and my Facebook page also has links for easy sharing.
I followed up my interview with Jonah Lehrer in a piece for Radio 4's 'All in the Mind', which you can listen to again here. The book has had a second pre-publication quote from the acclaimed novelist Sara Maitland, which you can read here.
I have written about the Unbound crowd-funding process here, and answered some common questions about the process works. I wrote about the challenges of combining being a scientist and a writer in this blog post for the Independent. I have also written a blog post specifically about how neuroscience explains motivations, and how novelists can make use of that knowledge.
I was interviewed about the book for the magazine Notes from the Underground. The book was also mentioned in this piece in the Daily Telegraph.
I'll be doing an event at the Hay Festival on Tuesday 5 June. Looking further ahead, I'll be in conversation about fiction and science with the American writer Ben Marcus at the Edinburgh festival on 11 August, and I'll speaking about the book at Medicine Unboxed: Belief in Cheltenham in November.
2. Persuade a friend. If everybody who has pledged for the book could persuade one more person, I would quickly reach the target. You can find out who has already pledged support by going here. For those who want to try before they buy, the first chapter of the book is free to read at the pledge page, and the second chapter has just been published too. The third chapter is posted in the Shed, to which only subscribers have access.
3. Pledge again. Unbound make beautiful books which are perfect gifts. This gift is even more special because you can put the recipient's name in the back of the book. Supporters' names will appear in every subsequent edition, including the trade edition which will be published by Faber next year (if the Unbound edition reaches its target) and any foreign editions and translations. Remember that the Unbound edition will appear some time before the Faber one, so those who subscribe now get an exclusive preview.
It's easy to change the name that appears in the back of the book. Simply go into the Shed (as a subscriber you have access) and press the button at the right.
Thanks for your support.

I'm Backing Bourne.
I notice it suggested on one or two blogs that I 'attacked' Nick Bourne in one of yesterday's posts. First thing to say is that, on this issue, my opinion is of little significance. Its just my opinion. I do admit to an element of disagreement over an issue, but its not right to call it 'an attack'. In fact, as far as Nick's leadership of the Assembly Group is concerned, I hope that this particular BBC story is without foundation. Personally, I hope that Nick Bourne is given full backing by the Conservative Group in the Assembly to carry on as leader - if there is any discussion of this issue over the weekend.
Let me , as no more that an occasional commentator on Assembly issues, post what I thought of the issue at the heart of this. Generally, I'm not keen on personal attacks against political opponents, partly because it usually benefits them. So it follows that I wasn't keen on the few words referring to Rhodri Morgan's dress sense, used in an otherwise excellent 39 page dossier of criticism of his record as First Minister. Unfortunately, these few words have totally diverted attention from the remainder of a very good piece of work. My attitude was "Damn it - some you win, some you lose". And because there was some public criticism, I would have felt obliged to give the document my full public support. I also thought that Nick should not have disowned the document on a Radio Wales programme, particularly since he had signed it off himself. But so what. Its no big deal. This is the sort of disagreement that crops up all the time in politics - and everywhere else for that matter. It certainly does not warrant speculation that Nick should be replaced. This is simply a daft reaction.
So there we have it. I've been moved to post under the heading of 'I'm Backing Bourne'.

My initial gut reaction when hearing the dossier news was here we go "the nasty party is at it again". However, the dossier does have more content onn the first minister s actions and some content on dress sense hair cut. What makes me angry is that the political commentarit also have jibbed at rhodri for gaffes and even cartoonists mock Rhodri. glad to see hypocrasy in action, notice how most party bloggs are quiet as they too have seen and mocked behind closed doors only the welsh tories have come out and said it.
Blimmy long time no post and a tory story gets me to post!
Off topic I thought Cameron gave an inspiring speech, statesman like.
- Fri Oct 03, 03:17:00 pm
And to be kicking a man already suffering from a black eye! How heartless is that!
- Fri Oct 03, 04:40:00 pm
You're backing Bourne and they say Lembit lacks judgement?
- Fri Oct 03, 04:57:00 pm

Well Glyn, you know how it goes. The other sides want to distract the public from their awful failures (e.g., underperforming Welsh economy) with distractions to capture the public's attention but are not things of substance. Anything to distract the Welsh voting public from the disastrous performance of both Welsh Labour and Plaid Cymru. These parties, Plaid in particular, are no longer agents of change in Wales. Plaid and Labour are now part of the problem.
A Welsh economy that is so underperforming a pair of donkey rear-ends could do better than Labour and Plaid. A comedy duet of disastrous errors of judgment culminating in an economy that is giving away its prize asset: WELSH INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
A small country like Wales could be a smart small country with a super high GVA rating instead of what we now see: a small underperforming country c/o of Labour-Plaid with a GVA rating at the bottom of the economic pile, an economy that produces jobs yes, but low paid jobs.
Labour-Plaid 'combo' can't offer any real solutions to fix the Welsh economy.
"Can't" because they don't know how to fix the Welsh economy even though the solutions are staring them in the face.
- Fri Oct 03, 05:04:00 pm
Me too.
I have always found Nick to be a kind, caring, generous, and quite often funny man, who follows through on his actions which is more than can be said for some.
I think one of the best things about our group in PCC is the unity we have, which as you say is vital for any political group. I don't think we will always all agree on everything but then by god wouldn't we be a boring lot if we did. We have debates, we discuss things and we support each other.
To be honest if we are talking about personal attacks on other politicians which is what it appears people are accusing Nick of then I would point people to some of the comments people made about me being an unmarried single mother and what did I think I was doing trying to play with the big boys in Council, all of which is true I'm not married, I am a mother and I am enjoying playing and I think making a success of playing with the big boys (ha ha) but it was the tone it was said with rather than them saying anything which wasn't true and at the end of it all it was water off a ducks back like I imagine it is for Nick.
I'd back Nick anytime.
- Fri Oct 03, 08:16:00 pm
I can understand that you cannot expect all the members of any one political party to agree on everything. That is fair enough and a good debate is well worth having.
Sadly I think Sarah has been misguided by Nick Bourne. His failure to submit a letter of objection to the last round of school closures (including that of Howey School) let his conservative colleagues down. It was only the Lib Dem AM, Kirsty Wiliams, MP Roger Williams and Labour AM Alun Davies that opposed that round of school closures.
But Sarah must continue to show her colleagues on Powys County Council that she can indeed do the job. Comments like she has apparnetly received are uncalled for in todays society.
- Sat Oct 04, 01:12:00 pm
I am not a Tory, quite the opposite may be, but I have found Nick Bourne to be a nice if naive guy,and may be this is whats happened here. What amazes me is the press again , whats is it 30 odd pages of evidence of Rhodri's dreadful record and they home in one or two paragraphs.
My advice to the press guys down there, is challenge them and challenge Labour for some answers, as a voter I would love to hear what they have to say in their defence. Nick for gods sake do not do a double u turn on this one.
- Sat Oct 04, 05:20:00 pm
glyn you say that he did sign it off. therefor he has lied to the public in order to stab his staff in the back for no doubt doing what they were told.
there is a serious issue here. If we vote conservative how do i know he will live up to his promises. how do i know he wont just dodge them and blame someone else.
doesn't paint a good picture of him!

vftg - Most of any negative has been in the press already. Not my style, but nothing to get so excited about. Agree about Cameron's speech. In my opinion, it was his best so far.
anon - I've suffered several 'black eyes' and always felt 'macho' and good with them. Usually, they are no mre than just a bit of bruising. Now a pulled hamstring is something different.
Anon 2 - Either stand by your leader, or change your leader. I hope they stand by him.
christopher - I would agree, except that we've contributed a bit to this sillyness ourselves.
Sarah - its always best to ignore the silly stuff. Usually harms the person making the comments rather than the person commented on.
anon 3 - I cannot comment on this because I have not discussed it with anyone - but I do know that Nick disputes your version of events here.
VM - I'm with you on this. Now that Nick has taken a position, I hope he sticks to it. Big fuss over little.

text: Doug Seed Report post Posted July 9, 2012 The odds are staggering, but I just realized that know this guy (Vince Marchese) who took his own photo by sticking his camera out on a pole, or tripod or something, from the NYS observation deck! I've seen the NYS photo a half-dozen times, but never put together that it was Vince until a recent thread here on PTU. The photographer in the blue jacket always looked strangely familiar to me, but it didn't click in my brain until today. We were both "sport parachutists" at Orange Sport Parachuting Center in Orange, MA in the 1960s. I say sport parachutists because using the term "skydiving" was frowned upon at the time, because it invoked a connotation of recklessness to the sport which was growing in popularity thanks to the 1961-1963 TV series, Ripcord and Johnny Carson making a jump in '68. The fledgling sport was constantly battling the impression that it was incredibly dangerous. At a recent reunion of jumpers who were regulars at the Parachutes Incorporated facilities in Orange Mass and Lakewood, New Jersey, Vince and I compared our jump log books and found that each of us had signed off a jump in each other's log books 40 years ago. I remember that Vince always had his camera with him on the flightline and he often jumped with it, too. Thanks to Vince, hundreds of jumpers have awesome photos of themselves taken in freefall and exiting the Noorduyne Norseman and Cessna 180 planes that were used at Orange and Lakewood. I know Vince won't mind my posting his one-of-a-kind self portrait again here. And here's a great shot of Vince stepping out the door of a Cessna 180 over Orange, Mass. in about 1966. If that one's a self portrait, it was a pretty good trick, Vince! :-) (actually, the photographer is unknown on this exit shot) Again, I'm quite certain that Vince won't mind my posting his shots. Just for fun, here's a shot of me in 1968 and Gary Holmes in the 2004 under parachutes from two very different eras! The thrill is still the same, though!

California customers: Please click here foryour Proposition 65 warning.
What can an extra $100 buy you in today's high-end market? In the case of Wharfedale's 10.2 bookshelf speaker, more than you probably think. For starters: Increased bottom end. More extension. A richer midrange. Heightened realism and instrumental accuracy. The big brother to Wharfedale's best-selling 10.1 model, the 10.2 does all this and more. Sporting a larger cabinet and driver, it features all of its smaller sibling's characteristics while delivering extra benefits. All for just $100 more.
The Power of the Larger Woofer and Strong Cabinet Walls
How does Wharfedale do it? Improving on past award-winning designs, the 10.2 features a soft-dome tweeter custom-made to present clear, high frequencies up to 30kHz. A 6.5-inch woofer and twin rear-firing ports bring up the bottom end and yield magnificent punch. Other enhancements, ranging from a low-profile chassis to stronger cabinet walls and a composite front-baffle panel, all contribute to reduced vibration, lower distortion, and increased rigidity. At Music Direct, we don't expect anything less from a British loudspeaker company that for more than 80 years has prized quality and innovation over all else.
Disappears Into the Surrounding Environment
Visually, the Diamond 10.2 practically disappears into its surrounding environment. Yet, even when you might notice it, you'll adore the elegantly curved cabinets and gorgeous finishes, with the latter available in three equally striking colors. The compact form extends to functionality. On the back, unlike many speakers whose parallel terminals cause problems with or outright prevent connections with thick cables, the 10.2 boasts offset bi-wire terminals that ensure the best-possible connectivity and allow for a wide range of options.
Music Direct Makes Your Decision Easier: Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed
Still debating your decision? Music Direct realizes the under-$500 speaker category is quite possibly the most-competitive field in audio. Breathe easier knowing that we promise your satisfaction with our 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. We honestly don't think you'll be sending back your 10.2s once you hear them, however. If anything, you might find yourself ordering more pairs to place throughout your house. They're that addicting. And that good.

In the past, the US Catholic bishops have remained neutral on the question of whether there should be discrimination protections for gays and lesbians in the workplace. I always found this bizarre. I can see how super-libertarians might oppose employment non-discrimination laws for gays (along with everyone else), but I naively imagined that the church would actually support a bar on firing people solely because of an innate sexual orientation (and, yes, the church itself understands homosexuality to be, for many, "innate"). The church has no problem with anti-discrimination laws when it comes to, say, race or immigration status. It has no objection in principle; au contraire. It declares itself a champion of the weak and marginalized and vulnerable.
But Benedict's church is different - when it comes to gays. The latest statement from the Bishops reads as if it were drafted by Robbie George, and reflects a total capitulation to theo-conservatism in the American hierarchy. Legally protecting gays from employment discrimination is now, apparently, illegitimate for Catholics. Why? Because non-procreative sexual acts violate church doctrine, and protecting employees who might engage in such acts in private therefore violates church doctrine. How does anyone know that the gay person in the office or factory is engaged in non-procreative acts? You don't. You assume it. But the assumption is enough. And so firing gay people cannot be made illegal - or it would be a restriction on "religious liberty."
Notice that there is no attempt here to argue that straight people who violate church doctrine - anyone who masturbates or uses contraception, is divorced or re-married - should not be protected from discrimination. It is always just the gays who are the target, because their identity inherently proves their iniquity, while most straight people can hide theirs. Notice also that the focus here is entirely on the victims of discrimination, not the perpetrators.
So the church that emerged from a man who preached the story of the good Samaritan, is now in the business of identifying Samaritans and ensuring they remain the targets of discrimination in the workplace. It does not matter whether they are good at their job; their orientation, even if no one even knows it results in sodomy, is sufficient to allow them to be fired and no law be broken.
The Bishops also argue against non-discrimination laws for gays because the laws imply that gay people are equal citizens and if they are equal citizens, the right to civil marriage will not be far behind.
And so we have a prudential political argument in defense of an obvious evil - persecuting people for something that they cannot change. The bishops say they'd like to protect gay people, but only if they can be seen as in no way endorsing sexual acts. But you can't do that. You can't enact a law protecting some gays from discrimination while omitting others, the distinction being whether they are engaged in non-procreative acts. It would be unenforceable, as the Bishops seem to imply.
And so they have a choice: favoring a civil society to protect individuals from unjust discrimination or not. When it comes to gays - and only gays - the Bishops have taken a stand. It is a de facto endorsement of obvious injustice. It is a profound betrayal of the core message of Jesus: that the already despised should be embraced not stigmatized, that the victims of discrimination be protected not marginalized.

The web world is always changing and evolving and so are the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) strategies. 2013 has been an eventful year for the SEO experts, with many mistakes made and some important lessons learnt. Throughout 2013, we saw many tweaks from Google on their various algorithms, sending panic among the SEO teams all across the globe, keeping them on their toes. It is essential to keep pace with the changing scenarios and develop long term SEO strategies that are essential to invest in and will give fruitful results in 2014.
Panda, Penguin and Hummingbird
Along with updates on Panda and Penguin, we found Google introducing Hummingbird to encourage quality content and fight spam, so as to get more relevant results. Aim for high quality posts and content to link to, if looking for a long term and stable success and rocket up the rankings too. Providing high quality, useful and relevant content is the key here and quality content will not only help boost the SEO ranking, but also get more customers and visitors naturally interested in the site and this will work on SEO organically.
We will see the influence of Panda, Penguin and Hummingbird all through the year. Hummingbird, especially helps weed out irrelevant content bloated with keywords.
Think in Mobile Terms
As the mobile market continues to grow at a phenomenal rate, 2014 will find a colossal rise in the number of mobile users. With more than 40% of world population already having a smartphone and more than 85% having a mobile, it is no surprise to find an increasing number of customers using their mobile to make searches. Wikipedia, Amazon and Facebook already experience about 20 % rise in mobile traffic.
SEO professionals must know already that optimizing websites for mobile and tablets is going to be very essential in the coming months, in order to tap the growing mobile market. The online companies will lose their customers if they fail to meet the consumer demand via mobiles.
Social Media Is a Must
Social media will play a leading role in 2014 and simply being on Facebook or Twitter is not going to be enough. One has to remain active on more Social networks and make use of them as a landing page to create more leads and conversions and impact search results. Social media pages will play an important role in building customer relations and digital marketers will need to respond actively to the customers. However unless and until a strategy is developed to take advantage of each social network, the utilization of social media won't work.
Keep the above aspects in mind if you are really serious about staying on top of the game and the search engine rankings in 2014. Expect more updates on Panda, Penguin and Hummingbird this year too, as Google attempts to make further improvements. SEO specialists need to change and evolve, focusing with the right SEO strategies this year to get results.

"The UVG is a place where I don't worry about my
self-confidence, I can do anything there and I'm not scared"
"UVG has helped me grow as a person, singer, musician and a performer. I have gained so much confidence, experience, opportunities and a family. It's crazy to think that I've only been there for 10 months! I've done many gigs, recorded an EP, attended a song writing course, recorded and performed a song I co-wrote, saw behind the scenes of the UVG on work experience, performed at The Wedge and so so much more! Never would I have had the opportunity to do anything as brilliant as that with all these people! Anyone that loves to sing (even if it's to your mirror when your parents aren't in ?) I suggest should at least try it for one session! I want people to have the same opportunities I have had and will have! Thank you" – UVG young singer
"I am quite a private person but I just wanted to say that I think the work that you do is outstanding. Recently new to the group and introduced to it by a friend, singing and music I'm finding is definitely good therapy in what is one of the most difficult and saddest times in life having recently lost my mum to Alzheimers after a 5 year battle. Singing at Victorious, meeting new people and the weekly sessions which are fun and filled with laughter, have without a doubt lifted my confidence. To top this we contribute to a children's charity which is just perfect. Many many thanks for your tireless work. You are making a real difference in my life, and no doubt the lives of others, for that I cannot thank you enough" – AUVG singer
"My son suffers from anxiety, which was diagnosed just over 2 years ago. Since he started at UVG earlier in the year, we have seen his confidence go from strength to strength. …the UVG has played a huge part in his progress & for that I am eternally grateful!" – Parent of UVG singer
"I have only been at UVG a few months now but already my confidence has shot through the roof!"
"My son has autism and finds it very difficult to try new things and make friends. This is the first activity that he has attended with neuro typical young people…and has accepted his needs and giving him all the support that they can." – Parent of UVG singer
"UVG is important to me because in the past I haven't had many friends and have been bullied in school and outside clubs but now I have so many new friends and I'm just happier and my confidence has grown"
"UVG are a credit to all the team that support
these young singers"
"Yesterday was my second week of coming to UVG and I'm so grateful that a friend recommended it to me. It's nice to have a group of people who are committed like I am. I love it!"
"Anything which enables children to fulfil their potential in a safe and supportive environment deserves recognition, however The UVG provide this at no cost. I would not have been able to afford for my child to receive vocal coaching and access to true professionals. There are no barriers to The UVG and that makes the group even more special" – Parent of UVG singer

There are no barriers to The UVG and that makes the group even more special" – Parent of UVG singer
"Part of the reason I love UVG is the fact that so many children with a scope of capabilities can access it, no matter the back ground and that for many it is a sanctuary where they can be "normal" and forget whatever problems may be bothering them" – Parent of UVG singer
"Just got in from the second session at the guild hall it was great everyone is so welcoming and cheery and Happy !! Can't wait to go back"
"UVG is also about developing young adults into well rounded musicians no matter the style"
"U all work amazingly to bring it all together, without you guys most of the kids that performed tonight would never have had the confidence to get up there and perform solos! Amazing bunch who cherish amazing kids! – Parent of UVG Singer
"…you've changed so many lives with what you all do x The confidence shines out in every singer"
"I am so proud to be part of a fab group of people that love our children so much. You were all incredible!
Not only that but you all helped [my daughter] tonight, by being her friend or someone she looks up to! She did fantastically well and in part, that is down to all of you. Thank you!" – AUVG singer and Parent of UVG singer
"I know I bang on about UVG all the timebut these two people Charlie Fletcher and Amba Goodwin Tremain! Now, just check out the video. Those smiles are priceless and these two people , alongside Sally Salmon, Leonie Tremain, and Nat Birch make these kids dreams a reality. How many of these children (including mine!) could possibly do something like this in their summer holidays? But it's not just this. Through there tireless emotional commitment , and shear dedication- and I add, I see the tears and the work ,day in day out, put into making this charity free and accessible to all kids between 11- 18! No, It hasn't a permanent supply of money, God, I see Charlie pen push more than a teacher to make sure theres always the penny's donated from somewhere to keep this charity "Alive" and words fail me over how damn proud I am of my daughter Amba. She keeps going where I would have given up years ago ( and that's saying something!) and why ? — The children! She believes and that's the word. Believes! So , yes sorry I might bore you all sometimes, but it's the holidays , thankyou UVG SO MUCH FOR PUTTING SO MANY SMILES ON SO MANY CHILDRENS FACES FOR MAKING WHAT WAS A DREAM A REALITY FOR SO MANY OF THEM THIS WEEK AND EVERY WEEK! Thank you Mr and Mrs UVG! – AUVG singer
"The charity or UVG family as it's known from the inside, has provided our boy's & many more young people with a lifeline in difficult times.. A place they can be themselves & so much opportunity to grow as people and as artists!"
"You are doing a fantastic job with the kids and you have sent over more talent then most casting agencies I have been speaking too" Dwayne Eaton – Assistant Producer ITV Studios
"Its a pleasure to donate to a charity where I can really see where my donation goes."This is a worthwhile charity especially as it offers children a place of safety and enjoyment instead of being bored on the streets or sometimes at home without contact with other people in a social environment" – Parent of UVG singer
"My Daughter has just left year 6 of her primary school, where, for the most part she has been successful in every aspect, whether it be social or education itself. It wasn't until the curriculum came into play that she really struggled. In year 5 she was tested for dyslexia and it was noted she was borderline. She was always popular but around 2/3rds into year 6, children around her began picking on her. She was head girl, had many friends and was a popular, well rounded, polite girl. She took this bullying all in her stride and was able to talk openly and confidentialy with adults about this. Inside and outside of school. She didn't let it phase her. For two consecutive days she even sat alone to eat lunch and just carried on. I believe that this is, in part, down to UVG and the confidence and maturity she has gained by being part of such a fantastic group. She loves it. I love it. We all love it – UVG Parent AUVG singer
What an amazing evening of young,local talent . UVG you are fantastic! All original material and performed with such professionalism! These young people are a credit to the community! Next time you pass a "kid " with a hoody on , a piercing/ tattoo or a baseball cap on back to front. Give them a chance and don't paint them all with the same brush! There are some amazing young people out there just wanting to show you what their made of. Give young talent a chance and support our next generation . You might just be surprised! – UVG Parent and AUVG singer
5 years I've spent with this group. Such an amazing group of people and young talent. Like I said last year we are one big family. This group has given me so much and I strongly suggest you give it a try. Thanks to everyone who is involved with running, organising, and everything else that is UVG, none of us would be the same without this amazing free to access group. It's effected all of us so thank you. – UVG singer
"HIWCF were happy to take a chance and fund the UVG in its early development and we are delighted that this investment in young people has been so successful. I was blown away by the amazing talent of these young people. Every single one of them gave their very best and were brilliant"
Toni Shaw – Chief Executive of Hampshire and Isle Of Wight Community Foundation
"The Urban Vocal Group is a really special music charity attracting a diverse group from across the educational and social spectrum. I do believe that participating in the Arts provides a tool for developing vocational skills and aspiration in young people. Many of these young people face considerable disadvantages, but with the encouragement of this Group, some of them have gone on to study music at college or embark on music careers. The Urban Vocal Group appears to be growing in strength, and I am looking forward to my visit early next year to observe them in action for myself and meeting those involved"
David Willets – Minister of State for Universities and Science 2010 – 2014

Okay. As a mom (particularly a stay-at-home one,)
we have these. . .things.
Sort of like facial ticks, little gliches in the firing of synapses in our brains,
random cursing out loud or talking to ourselves quietly, because we've lost it completely.
Things that occur naturally due to the course our lives have taken, in to the mutha'hood,
the winding roads, 90 degree turns and dead ends that have somehow taken us off the map,
from selflessly caring for little ones.
It just happens.
And SOME of us (not naming names,)
acquire. . .eh. . .obsessions along with those questionable behaviors.
Some are healthy. . .like going for a run before the kids get up.
Meeting a friend for coffee on the same day each week.
Praying before the kids rise. Whatever.
But there are the not-so-healthy.
The things that take us out of this insane life, temporary escapes from the monotony of parenting where we are allowed to daydream about another life. . .just for a bit.
Like stockpiling all movies with the baby goose in it.
Tevo-ing every episode of the Real Housewives and watching it with a bar of chocolate every night after the kids are in bed.
Spending a small fortune on US weekly and Star magazine. Total filth.
Or watching the Jersey Shore and being secretly enamored with 'The Situation.'
Whatever. You know what yours are.
ONE obsession in particular, has shamefully grown to great proportions,
my (personal) obsession with bearded men.
Don't ask. It just is. I love them. Nothing says rugged and tough and I.AM.MAN like a wooly full-grown beard.
Not a goatee, not a stache, a BEARD.
I'm married to a very rugged man, who can rock a Carhartt jacket and steel-toed boots like it's no one's bid-ness. Do pull-ups and fix stuff, but, no beard. . .and one that won't grow if he tries.
So i fantasize.
Beards say bad-ass & cuddly bear all in one breath.
BUT beards are hard to come by in Stillwater, MN.
SO, in honor of moms like me and our ridiculous and kinda' creepy obsessions, and to hunt down the best beard in Stillwater, MN,
We're having a contest starting TODAY through our new FB page, Moms of Stillwater.
Here are the rules:
1. You must like or have 'liked' our FB page and be a Stillwater resident to submit.
2. NO goatee's, no mustaches, no peach fuzz. Must be a full beard.
(No matter how gross.) Oh brad, we heart you. You can do no wrong.
3. Only one photo per mom and you must submit your photo to our FB page.
(if you have trouble with this, just email us and we'll get it up there for ya'.)
4. The beard MUST be Stillwater, MN grown. Local. Organic. No downloading off the internet, capturing random guys off the street in St. Paul (don't cheat. we'll know.) AND attached to your uploaded picture must be either said bearded man's favorite Stillwater spot or how many years he's lived here. . .anything that pertains to Stillwater that you can attach to the photo.
5. If the man you pull up to on main street and ask to take his picture is looking at you bug-eyed and trying to escape, just say you need a pic of his beard. You do not need to include his eyes or the rest of him. Just the beard.
That's it!
Oh! What's the prize?
A ONE HOUR MASSAGE, LADIES! A FFFRRRREEEEEEE ONE HOUR MASSAGE AT STUDIO ONE YOGA, where some of the best local massage therapists reside.
All bearded men pictures submitted will be tossed in a hat Friday at 5pm, one lucky lady drawn randomly, as long as you've adhered to the above rules.
{IF for some reason you don't live in Stillwater but want to partake in the fun and know someone that lives here, you could donate your prize too, should you win, go right ahead.)
Just to confirm. . .
{Justin, I love you.}
Ah, yes, have some (Christian Bale.)
Yep. Aha. Jake. . .who knew?
Little Zacky Efron is even rockin' a mini-beard these days (and has me feeling like a cougar. weird. we WILL accept a 'lighter' beard too, like this.)
And my top fave bearded men. . .
Zac Brown. Love.
AND Zack Galifianakis. {Hey. Don't judge. I think he's adorable.}
What's with the 'Zacs' anyway?
So, although we spent a quiet Sunday evening pouring over beards, on creepy patrol for what's acceptable in this 'BEST BEARD OF STILLWATER' contest, it's for a good cause,
YOU, mama! For all your hard work and helping draw a crowd at our FB page. You deserve a break.:)
{HINT. HINT. There are some FAB bearded men at our own 45 degrees (a sweet, little sanctuary of northern goodness if you haven't been, on Main street,) a lovely bearded server at Domacin Wine Bar and a lovable bearded yoga instructor at THE Studio One Yoga, who is kindly partaking in these mommy shenanigans and offering up the aforementioned fantastic prize.
Contest ends Friday Mar. 16 at 5pm. One beard per mama. Winner=FREE ONE HOUR MASSAGE. (Babysitting not included. Sorry.:)
I heart beards.
