Sustainability and Strategies for Survival in the Prehistoric Southwest, A. D. 1100-1425
Dr. David Wilcox, MNA
Sustainability depends in part on safety and strategies for survival in the prehistoric Southwest long took that into account in the adaptations devised here. Examples are given from studies of West Central Arizona that reveal a complex network of early-warning systems based on hilltop lookouts, retreats and habitation sites.
Sat, Oct 2 First Through the Canyon
Michael Ghiglieri
One of the greatest adventures in history occurred here in Arizona 141 years ago when Major John Wesley Powell and his eight boatmen/explorers made the first known, deliberate traverse of the Colorado River flowing through Grand Canyon in August of 1869. This saga is one of the epics of American exploration, roughly on a par with the Lewis & Clark expedition of 1804-06. Oddy, this amazing story has been inaccurately and poorly told by Powell himself and then by virtually every historian writing about the trip for well over a century---until the 2003 publication of Ghiglieri's First through Grand Canyon: the Secret Journals and Letters of the Crew who Explored the Green and Colorado Rivers." Ghiglieri will talk about the crew, the river expedition, its challenges and how they were met, and the aftermath of this, one of North America's most poorly understood major explorations.

“How Splendid is Our Past,” a new exhibition highlighting women’s vast contributions to Arizona’s development, opens at Sharlot Hall Museum on Saturday, September 18. This centennial exhibition, which is included with Museum admission, will be on display in the Museum Center Gallery through January 2, 2011.
“How Splendid is Our Past” is a traveling centennial exhibit that illuminates the lives and contributions of a number of Arizona women, including Museum founder Sharlot M. Hall. The exhibit was created by Arizona Women’s Heritage Trail (AWHT), a statewide legacy project linking women’s history with historic sites.
Former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor serves as the Exhibition Honorary Chair. “We know which men helped develop Arizona,” notes Justice O’Connor. “This exhibit illuminates some of the women who forged the state’s identity as well.”
This exhibit illustrates the lives and stories of a representative group of amazing women who helped to build Arizona. These women were artists, business owners, politicians and cultural leaders, such as Sharlot M. Hall, the first woman to hold territorial office and founder of the Sharlot Hall Museum. A few of the other Arizona women featured in the exhibit are:
·Tucson’s Luisa Ronstadt Espinel, a talented musician and preservationist of Spanish songs, who was the great aunt of singer Linda Ronstadt;
·Viola Jimulla, first woman “Chieftess” of the Yavapai Prescott Indian Tribe and renowned basket weaver;
·Frances Willard Munds, State suffrage leader from Prescott and Arizona’s first female State Senator.
·Mary Elizabeth Colter, architect of the southwest who designed such Grand Canyon buildings as Hopi House, the Watchtower and the Hermit’s Rest; designer of Fred Harvey hotels in Winslow and other municipalities throughout the country.
·Nellie Bush, politician, teacher, artist, attorney, riverboat pilot, club woman, real estate developer and businesswoman. One of the first female students at the University of Arizona Law School and first woman to chair the Arizona House Judiciary Committee and to serve as U.S. Commissioner in Arizona.
The exhibition also includes displays acknowledging the contributions of several groups of women, including the Harvey Girls and the African-American Servicewomen at Fort Huachuca.
This traveling exhibit is sponsored by the Arizona Office of Tourism, Arizona Humanities Council and Arizona Public Service, with assistance provided by the Sharlot Hall Museum and Arizona Historical Society. It is scheduled for other venues around the state in conjunction with Arizona’s state centennial celebration in 2012.
Sharlot Hall Museum, located at 415 W. Gurley St. in Prescott, is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. For more information, call 445-3122 or visit the Museum’s website at www.sharlot.org.

Phoenix was named the tenth most irritated city in Sperling’s BestPlaces
If you’re sick of hearing everyone complain about Phoenix’s weather, traffic, neighbors and so on, now you can send them to www.edgeshavezone.com where they can blow off steam by sharing their daily irritations with America – and even get paid for it.
As the original anti-irritation agent, Edge partnered with Sperling’s BestPlaces to commission a new study measuring11 separate irritation categories like heat, traffic and household pests to identify the U.S. cities most prone to irritation. Phoenix was named the tenth most irritated city in the study, with potential factor for irritation being traffic, and high temperatures. (Phoenix residents spend 44 hours a year in commuting traffic, and almost half the year, 164 days, in high temperatures of over 90 degrees).
The original antidote to shaving irritation, Edge created the Anti-Irritation campaign to help guys relieve life’s daily irritations. The online site hosts a variety of activities to help relieve common irritations, including:
Humorous videos – Comedian John Caparulo helps guys find the humor in everyday irritation
Weekly Cash Prizes– Visitors can submit their irritations to the message boards or participate in the PO key challenge to enter for a chance to win a $500 weekly giveaway
Grand Prize Trip to Las Vegas – Go online and submit a humorous video venting your irritations for a chance to win a trip for four to Las Vegas
Turns out that the potential for irritation is high down south, with Atlanta (No. 1), Houston (No. 2), Washington DC (No. 3) taking top honors as most prone to irritation, while predominately northern cities like Rochester, NY (No. 50), Milwaukee (No. 49) and Minneapolis (No. 48), ranked the lowest.
If you need a little comic relief from whatever irritates you, visit www.EdgeShaveZone.com, and let me know if you have any questions! You can read over more interesting facts about your city by clicking on the following link: http://multivu.prnewswire.com/mnr/edge/45185/.

crash
course
seminar
on
the
true
nature
of
Communism
July
12th,
2010
at
the
Original
North
Phoenix
Tea
Party
Our
nation
today
is
faced
with
a
showdown
between
the
forces
of
Liberty
and
the
forces
of
Tyranny.
Americans
across
the
political
spectrum
have
begun
to
take
notice
and
take
action.
Americans
instinctively
desire
freedom
and
reject
totalitarianism.
Few,
however,
have
been
schooled
in
the
history
of
Marxism-Leninism.
This
is
to
our
detriment.
To
combat
the
ideas,
tactics,
objectives
and
goals
of
communism,
we
must
make
an
effort
to
understand
its
nature.
Only
with
knowledge
can
we
design
effective
programs
to
defeat
the
false
promises
it
makes.
Please
join
me
for
a
crash
course
seminar
on
the
true
nature
of
Communism.
The
seminar
is
based
on
the
works
of
Dr.
Fred
C.
Schwarz.
Dr.
Schwarz
is
sadly
little
known
to
the
majority
of
Americans
today,
but
he
was
a
seminal
figure
in
the
fight
against
communism
from
the
1950’s
to
the
1990’s.
His
research,
writings
and
influence
has
been
felt
throughout
the
20th
Century
and
now
his
educational
research
is
needed
more
than
ever.
Dr.
Schwarz’
genius
was
his
ability
to
take
complex
and
confusing
ideas
and
break
them
down
into
easily
understood
concepts.
His
books
have
been
translated
into
dozens
of
languages
and
millions
of
copies
have
been
distributed
around
the
world.
He
was
highly
regarded
by
Ronald
Reagan
and
many
other
leaders
in
the
fight
for
freedom
during
his
time.
Diagnosis:
Communism!
is a
90
minute
educational
seminar
that
is a
must
see
before
the
elections
of
2010.
In
the
first
half
you
will
learn
the
history
of
Marxism,
the
features
of
Marxism
that
make
it
distinctive,
and
the
organization
and
goals
of
communism.
You
will
also
meet
the
key
players
in
the
formation
of
its
deadly
philosophy.
Why
do
so
many
embrace
this
vision?
Why
isn’t
communism
a
discredited
theory?
What
is
the
difference
between
Communism
and
Socialism?
What
do
they
have
planned
for
the
United
States,
and
specifically
for
you
and
your
family?
These
questions
will
be
addressed
directly.
In
the
second
half
you
will
hear
a
detailed
plan
for
the
Tea
Parties
and
other
conservative
groups
to
focus
on
in
the
near
term
and
the
long
term
to
recapture
the
momentum
and
protect
Liberty
for
the
next
generation.
These
ideas
are
not
being
discussed
by
nearly
anyone
else
on
the
scene
today.
This
section
is
grounded
in
facts
with
an
eye-opening
and
shocking
analysis.
This
lecture
is
being
offered
free
of
charge
to
all
interested
groups
within
a
short
traveling
distance
of
Phoenix.
Study
materials
will
be
available
after
the
lecture
for
a

Two major
meetings,
possibly
affecting
American gun
owners'
rights, will
occur at the
United
Nations (UN)
in New York
over the
next several
weeks.
They are the
Fourth
Biennial
Meeting of
States to
Consider the
Implementation
of the
Programme of
Action to
Prevent,
Combat and
Eradicate
the Illicit
Trade in
Small Arms
in all its
Aspects,
("BMS4")
June 14-18,
and the Arms
Trade Treaty
Preparatory
Committee
("ATT Prep.
Com.") July
12-23. The
NRA will be
fully and
actively
involved in
these
meetings.
The BMS4
is a
continuation
of the
so-called "Programme
of Action" (POA)
adopted by
the UN at a
conference
in 2001.
Anti-gun
groups saw
the original
POA as a
vehicle for
UN gun bans,
registration
schemes and
other
radical
proposals.
The U.S.,
through the
efforts of
Ambassador
John Bolton,
forced the
removal of
provisions
targeting
privately-owned
firearms
from the
POA. It was
not able to
stop the POA
itself, and
the UN holds
"Biennial"
meetings
every two
years to
keep the POA
alive.
Heavily-funded
anti-gun
groups will
again
attempt to
get the UN
and its
member
states to
target the
right to
arms at the
BMS4. A
Mexican
diplomat
will chair
the meeting
and Mexico,
which blames
its crime
problems on
the U.S., is
now pushing
for more gun
control in
America.
Anti-gun,
anti-U.S.
measures
could well
be on the
table.
Topical
Issues Add Spice to August 7 History

Southwest
Ambulance and KOOL-FM join Arizona Celebration
of Freedom as key sponsors
(MESA, AZ) – The Arizona Celebration of Freedom
reached two major milestones today with the
announcement that Southwest Ambulance has stepped
forward as the title sponsor for the two-day
festival and KOOL-FM has joined the Celebration as
the exclusive radio sponsor for the
July 2010 event to be held in downtown
Mesa.
“Southwest
Ambulance has a long history of involvement in our
community.” Mesa Mayor Scott Smith said. “It’s not
surprising that they would step up and support such
a worthwhile event. That’s just the kind of company
Southwest Ambulance is. As for KOOL-FM’s
involvement, what better exclusive radio partner
than the valley’s classic hits station. Their
sponsorship of the ‘KOOL Zones’ is perfect and will
definitely be popular places to cool down in July.”
The Southwest
Ambulance Arizona Celebration of Freedom, as it will
now be called, will be held the
Friday and Saturday before the
Fourth of July (this year on July 2 and 3)
and is presented by KOOL-FM. The event is not just a
fireworks show but a two-day celebration of
America’s freedom and independence culminating with
a spectacular pyrotechnic show and Salute to
America.
“We are proud to
be part of The Arizona Celebration of Freedom,”
Southwest Ambulance President Bryan Gibson said.
“Our company’s approach to providing emergency
medical services is centered in community
involvement. The Mesa Sertoma Club and the
organizations and volunteers that are making this
family friendly event happen encapsulate many of the
core values of our company: honor, pride,
enthusiasm, and teamwork.”
The Southwest
Ambulance Celebration of Freedom is the precursor to
every fireworks show in the State of Arizona filled
with classic cars, motorcycles, beer gardens, arts
and crafts booths, music, street performers, games,
family fun, and more. Dubbed as “the coolest
independence festival in the state” with its many
“KOOL Zones,” the celebration also features the
nationally-recognized Mesa Arts Center as a backdrop
to the main stage and dozens of community groups
with hundreds of volunteers to make this party truly
unique.
“This is exactly
the kind of event we have been looking to support.”
KOOL-FM Programming Director Kris Abrams said.
“Motorcycles, classic cars, and great music: Is
there any better way to celebrate this country’s
freedom and independence than two days of Americana
for everyone to enjoy. This will most definitely be
the “KOOLest” party in the State.”

*PEOPLE ASK WHY?
*Why I Carry a Gun

*I don't carry a gun to kill people.*
*I carry a gun to keep from being killed.*
*I don't carry a gun to scare people.*
*I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.*
*I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid.*
*I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.*

*I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil inthe world.*
*I don't carry a gun because I hate the government.*
*I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.*
*I don't carry a gun because I'm angry.*
*I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my lifehating myself for failing to be prepared.*
*I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.*
*I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed,and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.*

Brad Zinn’s "The Great Comedians, Those Felt Hat and Big Cigar Funny Men," is a heartfelt salute to his childhood heroes that includes generous portions of comedy, music,juggling, magic, rope spinning, audience participation, and extended impersonations of Johnny Carson, George Burns, Jack Benny, and Will Rogers. Brad’s impressions also include W. C. Fields, Groucho Marx, Jimmy Durante, George Jessel, Fred Allen, and Red Skelton.
The show begins with Brad’s own comedy and interactions with the audience, followed by a memorable "Tonight Show" visit with Carnac, the Magnificent (Johnny Carson) that leads smoothly into a visit from the inventor of the "topical monologue" - Will Rogers. Will enters
spinning a rope and regales the audience with witty observations from the world of current events, circa 1932. Amazingly, Will’s satire sounds as though it could have been ripped straight from today’s headlines!
Next is an uncanny recreation of George Burns. George talks about his early years in show business up to the time when he met and married Gracie Allen and they became an instant success. George warbles a memorable vaudeville tune or two, and finishes with a poignant "Say
goodnight, Gracie." Gracie’s voice is heard to cheerily reply, "Goodnight."
The only person that can follow George Burns is, of course, his old friend Jack Benny.
Jack (as portrayed by Brad) strolls onstage with horn-rim glasses and violin in hand. After leading the audience in singing “Happy Birthday,” Jack hilariously explains how he raises money for symphony orchestras. He ends with his famous violin solo, "Love in Bloom."
The show’s rousing finale is an original song, written by Brad and musician friend Bill Swayze, "The Great Comedians." The tune includes segments highlighting Groucho Marx, W. C. Fields, Fred Allen, Jimmy Durante, Ed Sullivan, George Jessel, and others. The beloved Red
Skelton concludes the evening with his signature "Good night, and may God bless!"
Brenda Zinn also offers an intriguing performance of Vaudeville style Sand Painting as a pre-show warm-up at 6:45 pm, so come early for a good seat and don't miss Ms. Bre's Vaudeville style Sand Paintings. This art has not been seen in over two generations!

IMMIGRANTS THEN
AND NOW... GIVE ME YOUR TIRED, YOUR POOR
HUDDLES MASSES
YEARNING TO BREATHE FREE
From:
"David LaBonte"
My wife, Rosemary, wrote a wonderful
letter to the editor of the OC Register
which, of course, was not printed. So, I
decided to "print" it myself by sending
it out on the Internet. Pass it along
if you feel so inclined. Written in
response to a series of letters to the
editor in the Orange County Register:
Dear Editor:
So many letter writers have based their
arguments on how this land is made up
of immigrants. Ernie Lujan for one,
suggests we should tear down the Statue
of Liberty because the people now in
question aren't being treated the same
as those who passed through Ellis
Island and other ports of entry.
Maybe we should turn to our history
books and point out to people like Mr.
Lujan why today's American is not
willing to accept this new kind of
immigrant any longer. Back in 1900 when
there was a rush from all areas of
Europe to come to the United States,
people had to get off a ship and stand
in a long line in New York and be
documented. Some would even get down
on their hands and knees and kiss the
ground.
They made a pledge to uphold the laws
and support their new country in good
and bad times. They made learning
English a primary rule in their new
American households and some even
changed their names to blend in with
their new home.
They had waved good bye to their birth
place to give their children a new
life and did everything in their power
to help their children assimilate
into one culture. Nothing was
handed to them. No free lunches, no
welfare, no labor laws to protect
them. All they had were the skills and
craftsmanship they had brought with
them to trade for a future of
prosperity.
Most of their children came of age when
World War II broke out. My father
fought alongside men whose parents had
come straight over from Germany , Italy
, France and Japan . None of these 1st
generation Americans ever gave any
thought about what country their
parents had come from. They were
Americans fighting Hitler, Mussolini
and the Emperor of Japan . They were
defending the United States of America
as one people.
When we liberated France , no one in
those villages were looking for the
French-American or the German American
or the Irish American. The people of
France saw only Americans. And we
carried one flag that represented one
country. Not one of those immigrant
sons would have thought about picking
up another country's flag and waving it
to represent who they were. It would
have been a disgrace to their parents
who had sacrificed so much to be here.
These immigrants truly knew what it
meant to be an American. They stirred
the melting pot into one red, white and
blue bowl.
And here we are with a new kind of
immigrant who wants the same rights and
privileges. Only they want to achieve it
by playing with a different set of
rules, one that includes the
entitlement card and a guarantee of
being faithful to their mother
country.
I'm sorry, that's not what being an
American is all about.
I believe that the immigrants who
landed on Ellis Island in the
early 1900's deserve better than that
for all the toil, hard work and
sacrifice in raising future
generations to create a land that has
become a beacon for those legally
searching for a better life. I think
they would be appalled that they
are being used as an example by
those waving foreign country flags.
And for that suggestion about taking
down the Statue of Liberty, it happens
to mean a lot to the citizens who are
voting on the immigration bill. I
wouldn't start talking
about dismantling the United States
just yet..

Postal Service
Launches Green Newsroom
Information Resource Ready for Earth Day
WASHINGTON
— On the eve of the 40th anniversary of
Earth Day, the U.S. Postal Service unveiled its
green newsroom, a one-stop
shop for all its environmental information. Replete with
photos of its energy-saving vehicles and facilities,
green products and services, and a time-lapse video of
the construction of New York’s largest green roof, the
Postal Service’s green newsroom is its newest, most
informative site to visit on Earth Day.
“At the Postal Service’s green newsroom,
every day is Earth Day,” said Sam Pulcrano,
vice president, Sustainability. “Our history
of environmental efforts goes back more than
100 years and Earth Day is a perfect
opportunity to tell Americans about the
Postal Service’s planet-friendly
initiatives.”
According to Pulcrano, the USPS green
newsroom is a robust source of
sustainability news and answers key green
questions including:
How big is the Postal Service’s carbon
footprint?
How is the Postal Service decreasing its
carbon emissions?
How many hundreds of millions of dollars
in energy costs has the Postal Service
saved since 2007?
How many hundreds of thousands of tons
of waste did the Postal Service recycle
in 2008? (Hint - enough to fill
America’s tallest building.)
How are expired or unwanted
pharmaceuticals safely discarded with
the Postal Service’s help without
harming the environment?
Visitors to the
green newsroom can learn about the
Postal Service’s first test of electric
vehicles in 1899, when it found that mail
could be delivered in less than half the
time taken by horse-drawn wagons. They also
can find out how many billions of miles were
traveled last year to deliver America’s
mail, and how many millions of gallons of
alternative fuel were purchased by the
Postal Service in 2009.
Viewers of the site can expand their green
knowledge and Earth Day conversation with
interesting facts including: how many
tens of thousands of alternative
fuel-capable vehicles are in the Postal
Service’s fleet; where the Postal Service
uses mules to deliver mail; and which mail
delivery vehicle has zero emissions, and
costs only 2 cents per mile to operate.
“We hope America visits the new green
newsroom, and
usps.com/green, to
learn more about the Postal Service’s
commitment to the environment,” Pulcrano
said.
The Postal Service has won more than 75
environmental awards, including 40 White
House Closing the Circle, 10 Environmental
Protection Agency WasteWise Partner of the
Year, Climate Action Champion, Direct
Marketing Association Green Echo, and the
Postal Technology International
Environmental Achievement of the Year, 2009.
The Postal Service receives no tax dollars
for operating expenses, and relies on the
sale of postage, products and services to
fund its operations.

Gold Star Navy
SEAL Mom Leads Pro-Troop
Message Opposed to Cindy Sheehan’s Protest
Both
Lost Sons in Iraq.
Now they Face-Off in a War of Ideals
The nation’s largest grassroots, pro-troop
organization, Move America Forward, is sending their
main spokesperson, Debbie Lee back to Hood River, Oregon
this week to face off against Cindy Sheehan, the
anti-war protester who camped outside of President
Bush’s Crawford, TX ranch.
“Hood River is my hometown,” said Debbie
Lee, whose son Marc was the first Navy SEAL to be killed
in the war in Iraq. “When I heard that Cindy Sheehan was
going to be protesting the war, and protesting Insitu
here in MY hometown, I knew I had to be there. That’s
where I raised Marc and the rest of my children, that’s
my home, and there’s no way I am going to let Cindy
Sheehan bring her anti-American message without being
there to say ‘You don’t speak for me,
Cindy!’”
Through both have lost sons in the war,
Debbie Lee speaks out in support of the troops and their
missions in the war on terror. Her inspiring speeches at
rallies across the country have inspired but most of all
thanked our troops for their sacrifices. Cindy
Sheehan has chosen to speak out against the war, often
making unsubstantiated claims that her son Casey “stood
up against an unjust war” despite the fact that her son
re-enlisted and volunteered for the mission that ended
his life.
Debbie Lee will be leading the
pro-troop rally, expressing gratitude for our troops
this Saturday April 17th in contrast to the anti-war
‘conference’ being held in the same town, where Cindy
Sheehan is expected to speak in opposition to the War on
Terror and the use of drone unmanned aircraft in that
conflict.
Debbie’s son Marc was killed August 2nd of
2006 in Ramadi Iraq, sacrificing his own life to save
his fellow SEALs. After a fellow teammate was wounded,
Marc stood up in the line of fire twice to provide cover
for his buddies to retreat. After seeing his team
returned safely to base, Marc volunteered to go out
again to find the same insurgents and took sniper fire
through a window, again putting himself between the
enemy and his fellow SEALs. Marc was posthumously
awarded a Silver Star, a Bronze Star for Valor and a
Purple Heart for his actions.
Casey Sheehan was killed on Palm Sunday,
April 4th, 2004. An armored truck mechanic in the 82nd
Field Artillery Regiment of the Army, Casey volunteered
to go on a combat mission to rescue a group of soldiers
pinned down by intense enemy fire. In the resulting
firefight, Casey and 7 other soldiers gave their lives.
Casey was posthumously awarded a Bronze star and Purple
Heart for his heroic actions that day.
“Cindy Sheehan has trashed our troops, their
mission, and the legacy left by millions of troops who
have come before and sacrificed their lives to pay for
the freedoms we now enjoy. Cindy takes those freedoms
for granted; she does not recognize that without our
brave troops, she would not have the freedom to speak
out as she does. I’m going to back to my hometown of
Hood River to remind Cindy that she doesn’t speak for
Americans like myself and our members of Move America
Forward. Unlike her, we support our troops, we
appreciate their sacrifices, and we are grateful for
what they’re doing right now, in the Middle East, to
protect us back home.” concluded Lee.

Urban
Dare Phoenix
Now in its fifth season, the Urban
Dare series of adventure races comes
to Phoenix on
Saturday,
March 27. This year the
challenge is even bigger – with
30 cities hosting events
nationwide!
Urban Dare requires
two person teams to navigate through
metro landscapes to find and solve
clues, document each success, and
beat the clock while covering
approximately five miles on foot or
public transportation.
Like a half-day Amazing Race
meets National Treasure,
participants use a combination of
brains and brawn to complete the
fun-filled assignments. Each team
needs to bring a digital camera or
cell phone with camera. Map and
notepad are beneficial.
Out of the starting block teams
will pick up clue sheets. For
checkpoints that mention a dare,
teams must accomplish tasks and get
passports stamped before moving on.
On checkpoints that mention a photo,
teams must get a photo showing they
were there. Dares range from
throwing a bulls-eye, scaling a
climbing wall, completing a puzzle,
etc. Winners finish in about two
hours and most will finish under
four hours.
Urban Dare Phoenix will start and
finish at Jackson’s on 3rd .
Check-in begins at 11:00 a.m. and
will continue up to the start of the
race at noon. Proceeds go to fight
breast cancer. The winning team will
compete for $5000 in the next Super
Dare.
To register and for further
information about Urban Dare
adventure races please visit

Keefe at 1-202-285-4510.
TOMS
Shoes Announces Its 3rd
Annual One Day Without Shoes
With every pair purchased, TOMS
gives a new pair of shoes to a child
in need. One for One.
New
York, NY (March 4, 2010) -
In an effort to bring attention to
the impact a simple pair of shoes
can have in a child’s life, TOMS
Shoes announces its third annual One
Day Without Shoes campaign that asks
everyone worldwide to go barefoot on
April 8th. Barefoot
events around the world from Venice
to Little Rock, Dubai to London have
already been planned, with more in
the works.
On April 8th communities
and individuals will be spreading
awareness about the importance of
shoes in parts of the world where
children’s feet are exposed to
debilitating diseases. So many of
the world’s children in developing
countries grow up without shoes,
having to walk miles to get food and
water, medical help, and attend
school (which often require shoes as
uniform). A leading cause of disease
in these areas is soil-based
parasites.
One Day Without Shoes participants
can pledge their commitment, join
and organize events, and connect
with likeminded participants online
at
www.OneDayWithoutShoes.com. The
website will also provide an outlet
for individuals to share their
videos, photos, and experiences
spending One Day Without Shoes.
Every person who RSVPs for an event
on
www.OneDayWithoutShoes.com will
have the option to be entered to win
a spot on a TOMS Shoe Drop (some
limitations apply). Winner will be
announced on May 10th.
One Day Without Shoes t-shirts will
be available for purchase from
Threadless at
www.threadless.com/loves/tomsoneday
starting March 22nd.
Blake Mycoskie, TOMS Shoes’ founder
and Chief Shoe Giver, says, “A shoe
company asking people to go
barefoot? I know it’s odd, but we
are so excited for people to once
again join us in One Day Without
Shoes.
We ask people to go the day, part of
the day, or even just a few minutes,
barefoot, to experience what
millions of children endure every
day. Awareness and empathy are the
catalysts of change.”
The problem is large but the
solution is simple. Wearing shoes
and basic hygiene can prevent both
infection and disease due to unsafe
roads and contaminated soil. By
imagining a life barefoot, we can
all contribute to the awareness of
these conditions. Join TOMS Shoes on
April 8th and walk
barefoot to support One Day Without
Shoes. For more information visit:
www.OneDayWithoutShoes.com
About
TOMS Shoes:
In 2006, American
traveler Blake Mycoskie befriended
children in a village in Argentina
and found they had no shoes to
protect their feet. Wanting to help,
he created TOMS Shoes, a company
that would match every pair of shoes
purchased with a pair of new shoes
given to a child in need. One for
One. To date, TOMS has given over
400,000 pairs of new shoes to
children around the world through
its giving partners.

Centuries-Old Craft Of
Ecologically-Made Bags Carries
Hope For Impoverished
Southeast Asians International
sales of Khmu tribe�s homemade
Nature Bags fund humanitarian
effort in Laos.
www.NatureBag.ORG
From its handmade
and homemade production to the
heartfelt humanitarian effort
behind it, it is a multi-use bag
unlike any other. A uniquely
green consumer product called
the Nature Bag, once known only
to a small group of people in
the higher elevations of
Southeast Asia, is now available
to consumers all over the world.
And the sales of Nature Bags are
aimed at reducing poverty in
that region for years to come.
For thousands of
years, bags like these have been
handmade only in the homes of
the Khmu ethnic group of Laos, a
landlocked country in Southeast
Asia which has one of the lowest
per capita income levels in the
world. The Nature Bags are now
being produced for sale to
others by the Khmu as part of a
poverty reduction project for
the region headed by young Lao
student Bonsou Keoamphone, the
son of a poor rice farmer in the
remote, mountainous Oudomxai
Province in Northern Laos. By
making Nature Bags now available
online to consumers
internationally, Bonsou has
developed the concept of linking
the primitive Khmu with the
modern world. This poverty
reduction project is designed to
strengthen and extend those
links, giving the traditional a
means to progress
technologically and economically
while
preserving the ancient ways of
the Khmu. The project's startup
funding is coming from a retired
Iowa philanthropist.
Nature Bags
are stretchable and expandable,
light-weight but extremely
strong. But this is not your
mother's generic mesh-like bag.
Most Nature Bags have an
appearance that is somewhat
shiny, like silk or satin, and
have colors that range from a
very light tan to medium-dark
brown. The walls of the Nature
Bags have considerable stretch
and form around the items
inside. Fragile items such as
fruits and vegetables are much
less likely to be bruised, and
the unique mesh design of the
bag permits airflow throughout.
Because each Nature Bag is
handmade at homes of the Khmu
tribe members and not in a
factory, no two bags are
identical.
What Are
Nature Bags Made
From?Wild-growing, organic
tropical Kudzu or now called "JungleVine"
is used to
make the Nature Bag fabric. It
is a naturally growing, hearty
perennial vine with a deep
spreading root that grows
quickly during the rainy season
and can be found in various
parts and higher elevations in
Southeast Asia.
"JungleVine" cord is lightweight
but nearly impossible to break,
is biodegradable and virtually
mold resistant. This is the
first significant commercial use
and production of both product
and fabric and it continues
thousands of years of
sustainability.The Nature Bags
range in size from 10 x 6 inches
to 24 x 12 inches and range in
price from $10 - $76 and are
available online at:
www.NatureBag.ORG
Unique
Online
Social Platform Matches Artists And
Art Buyers
http://www.theartistfinder.com
It is an innovative online social
platform for artists worldwide designed
to help connect artists and their works
with the
perfect match of consumers. It is called
TheArtistFinder.com and it is increasing
in popularity -- and it is free to join.
Art lovers looking to
find that perfect art piece are able to
browse the site for free as well linking
to multiple art sales venues. A few
years back, the online art
matchmaker site called
BoundlessGallery.com popped onto the
cultural scene allowing artists and art
seekers a worldwide a place to connect.
Now, the company has added
TheArtistFinder.com to help provide an
additional matchup option for artists
and art lovers.
"We exist to support original artists
online," says BoundlessGallery.com/TheArtistFinder.com
President Luke Terpstra.
"We see the online
marketplace changing from the old guard
of big one-stop shops like eBay and
Amazon, to a new order where the actual
site you buy from matters less than
finding the perfect product."
The truth is most artists use multiple
online venues to promote their work, and
a site like TheArtistFinder.com helps
embrace all of those venues and
provides very useful hub where artists
can send potential customers to all of
their sites. It is a simple and easy
site to bridge the gap between all
of an artist's web locations and can be
used to synchronize ALL of those sites
together -- for free.
On TheArtistFinder.com, members are
allowed to list all their online stores
where their works are listed, as well as
their social n etwork profiles. This
allows artists to take all their links
from all the art sites they may have
their works posted; Boundless, Etsy,
Yessy, etc. AND all their social network
profiles like MySpace and Facebook, and
now replace them with just ONE link to a
new hub:
www.TheArtistFinder.com
Artists are able to list their works for
sale and simply pay a percentage
commission when works are sold through
either the BoundlessGallery.com or
TheArtistFinder.com sites. For more

KAY
LANG + ASSOCIATES ESTABLISHES URBAN ELEGANCE FOR
THE RESIDENCES AT MANDARIN ORIENTAL, LAS VEGAS
Strip Debut offers the Ultimate in Ethereal and
Sophisticated Living
LAS VEGAS – With
the much anticipated opening of The Residences at
Mandarin Oriental, Las Vegas at CityCenter, the
sophisticated design of Kay Lang + Associates
becomes a tangible dream; an unsurpassed Zen retreat
blended with stylish haute couture.
“From
the lobby through the residences themselves, we
sought to create an aesthetic that would take your
soul into a space to relax and renew in a sleek and
sophisticated setting,” said Kay Lang, president and
CEO of Kay Lang + Associates. “The result is a
peaceful, neutral palette inspired by the classic,
yet modern Asian design of the Mandarin Oriental
Hotels worldwide.”
At the moment of
entry, guests are seamlessly transformed through a
color palette reminiscent of the building’s exterior
in the residential lobby. The reception desk,
dramatically placed, is formed by a translucent
white backlit onyx with sustainable Zebrawood, set
by the backdrop of Michel Tabori’s “End of Day,” a
dreamlike blend of high-gloss sunrise and sunset
tones. A custom chandelier reminiscent of antique
gold Chinese coins is suspended from dramatic high
ceilings above the residential elevator lobby, a
counterpart to the Asian design elements below.
Natural textures, teak wood and Zebrawood come
together with onyx, bronze, gold and silver to
complete the overall palette.
The design of
the lobby transitions into the lobby lounge,
billiard room and boardroom, where natural elements
and wood connect each room to the next.
A tournament
size pool table will bring residents together in a
space surrounded by teak wood and limestone walls,
adorned by Zen objet d’art’s and small sculptures.
Inky black splashes and oblique lines mark the
captivating canvas by artist Scott Waterman acts as
a dramatic backdrop at the resident’s lounge. A
subtle triptych by accomplished artist Daniel Brice
adorns the corridor walls connecting the hotel to
the residents’ lounge.
Within The
Residences themselves, Lang has designed a surreal
haven where residents will escape to their own Zen
retreat; each residence its own unique vantage point
with magnificent expansive views. A sense of peace,
unquestionable beauty and unsurpassed opulence are
found in each of the three distinct finish packages:
Majestic Pearl, Sovereign Jade and Imperial Orchid,
offering residents the opportunity to personalize
their living space with an expression of their own
individual taste.
If one were to
scour the world’s ocean floors and come back with
every variation of lovely pearl, those colors would
become the palette of “The Majestic Pearl” package.
Subtle, cloud-like shades of soothing grey find
respite near strong, tobacco-colored browns and
blacks. Muted khaki tones pair with warm white tones
and occasional accents in neutral beiges and
browns. “Sovereign Jade” blends tones of natural
greens with shades of oyster, amber-touched browns
and textured mochas. The tranquil palette is
balanced by the addition of rich wood and tile
accents. Jade is known for bringing a contemplative
mood to the soul. Like orchids in nature, “Imperial
Orchid” features the soft tones of orchid flowers,
blending subtle notes of orange and coral with
varied shades of wheat. Bamboo browns and hues of
safari-inspired russet nestle together in an earthy,
inviting canvas. The stunning, approximately 2,000
to 4,000-square-foot penthouse residences at
Mandarin Oriental offer the highest level of
five-star resort amenities in a personal residence.
Incorporating the standards and sensibilities of the
most discerning tastes, Lang’s expert team of
designers developed three luxurious finish packages
to complement the opulent residences: Splendid
Sunrise, Celestial Clouds and Royal Sunset. Like
the gorgeous hues of a desert sunrise, the “Splendid
Sunrise” palette is comprised of orange and
tangerine tones, striated like a sunset, paired with
lacquered black accents and enduring oak woods.
Silver sashays into shades of white, while striped
wood variations beckon to sleek, undiluted browns.
Situated on the
top floors of Mandarin Oriental, the Penthouse
Collection is seemingly in the clouds, providing the
inspiration for the “Celestial Clouds” package.
Complementing the interiors, honey-spun hues of
russet and clay with pops of rust form a perfectly
harmonized color story. Dark woods give richness to
slate-colored tiles and transparent, frosted
accents. The “Royal Sunset” palette is comprised of
the multi-tonal variations of a desert sunset over
the western mountains, with seductive reeds of
chartreuse draped near gentle shades of eggplant,
perfectly setting the tempo near definitive silver
and chestnut browns. Blonde marble gives a stoic,
centered feel to perfectly placed black and flecks
of gold. The materials used in each of the packages
are in compliance with the highest levels of
sustainability as part of CityCenter’s aspiration to
achieve LEED Certification for a silver ranking.
The attention to
even the tiniest detail has catapulted Kay Lang +
Associates amongst the ranks of the most
influential, successful and progressive interior
design firms in the world. With successful global
projects in Seoul, Los Angeles, Vancouver, New York,
UAE and throughout the United States, Lang leads her
design team in all facets of interior design with a
personal, hands-on approach.
A UCLA graduate,
Lang
has specialized in the field of hospitality,
commercial and high-end residential design for more
than 30 years. Her projects span the scope from
full-service, luxury high-rise, condo/hotel,
boutique, four and five-star destination properties
to
commercial and urban mixed-used properties all over
the globe. After launching her own firm, Lang was
inducted into the prestigious Platinum Circle for
Lifetime Achievement by Hospitality Design Magazine.
Featured in such prominent publications as:
Hospitality Design Magazine, Interior Sources, Space
Magazine, Interior Design Magazine and Hotel
Business Magazine,Kay Lang +
Associates

Hospitality Firms nationwide.

Electronic Pet Door
Lets Your Animal In While Keeping Others Out.
Pet Doors USA's Latest Plexidor
Product Offers Ease-Of-Use,Convenience and Security.
www.dogdoors.com
(Bradenton, Florida) "It's a technological twist on
the pet door that combines convenience with security
and safety " for pet owners and pets alike.
Plexidor Pet Doors offers the Plexidor Electronic
that opens exclusively for your pet via a wearable
pass code "collar key". It is like having a
personalized garage door and electronic opener
specifically for your dogs. And your dog is the only
one with the electronic opener code.
The Plexidor Electronic is the
latest product for the veteran Plexidor company,
which has been in the pet door business for over 23
years. "Having a technological tool like this is
great for the health and comfort of the pet too,"
says PlexidorPresident Joe Ambrose. "It allows the
pets to go outside when they have to, not when you
are able to let them out."He adds, "For the pet
owner, it is very helpful in preventing pet messes
in the house from the pet having to hold it too
long."
How Does The Plexidor Electronic
Pet Door Work? "Collar keys" come programmed; simply
clip it to the collar.
The technology in the door reads and recognizes the
code as the pet approaches the door and allows
entrance. The pet door panel slides up and down like
a mini-garage door.
The Plexidor collar key is

New
StrapDoctor Fashion Accessory Provides The
Cure For "Slipping Bra Strap Syndrome" -
FREE
www.GetStrapDoctor.com
(Prince Edward Island, Canada) -- It's a
nagging problem that affects more than half of
the female population. More and more women are
complaining about being bothered by slipping bra
straps, dress straps and even tank top straps.
But now a product called "StrapDoctor" has been
launched to comfortably and effectively stop any
strap from sliding down the shoulder.
StrapDoctor is a small strip
of material with hundreds of microscopic hooks
that attach to the underside of any bra strap.
The other side of the StrapDoctor sports a soft,
smooth, non-slip material that provides a
comfortable, virtually unnoticeable hold on the
shoulder. Reusable, washable and almost
invisible, these practical patches can be used
on hundreds of types of strapped clothing. What
sets StrapDoctor apart from other similar
products on the market is that it can be applied
by one person and it can be left attached to the
strap all the time, even when being laundered.
�I figure that the bra
manufacturers are in the business of selling
bras, while I'm in the business of solving
bra-slipping problems," says StrapDoctor
inventor and company President Paula Fraser.
"Slipping Bra Strap Syndrome, as we call it,
affects over 53 percent of the female
population," Fraser says, "but we are now in
business to reduce those numbers significantly."
Initial customers say that because of the
holding power of the StrapDoctor, they are even
able to loosen their straps a bit allowing for
even more comfort.
Fraser, a blueberry farmer by
trade, didn't set out to be in the bra business.
This mother of three came up with the idea to
fix her own slipping strap and then realized the
idea had widespread commercial merit. The bra
business is big business - busting out at over
$5 billion dollars a year in North America
alone. And Fraser is doing business unlike any
other bra accessory business out there. The
company is starting out by GIVING AWAY a
StrapDoctor package FREE to anyone who wants
one.
Simply go to -
www.GetStrapDoctor.com - provide a mailing
address and pay the $3 shipping fee. And then,
StrapDoctor will soon be making a house call to
your home. The free package contains 2 pairs of
straps and has a retail value of $9.95. The
company is poised to give away one million
packages of the patented inventions until
October 31, 2009. Fraser says she's confident
that once women try her invention, they'll be
hooked for life.

EarthTalk®
From the Editors of E/The Environmental Magazine
Dear
EarthTalk:
I've noticed that wildflower blooms
in the mountains have been coming earlier and earlier in recent
years. Is this a sign of global warming? And what does this mean
for the long term survival of these hardy yet rare plants?
-- Ashley J., via e-mail
As
always, it’s hard to pin specific year-to-year
weather-variations and related phenomena—including altered
blooming schedules for wildflowers—on global warming. But longer
term analysis of seasonal flowering patterns and other natural
events do indicate that global warming may be playing a role in
how early wildflowers begin popping up in the high country.

Have
you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed The Declaration of
Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors and tortured before
they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in
the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought
and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred
honor.
What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.
Eleven were merchants.
Nine were farmers and large plantation owners... men of means...well
educated... but
they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the
penalty would be death if they were captured
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships
swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to
pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his
family almost constantly.
He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding.
His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton,
Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British
general, Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He
quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was
destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his
wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she lay dying. Their 13
children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to
waste.
For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find
his wife dead and his children vanished.
So, please take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th
of July holiday to remember and silently thank these patriots.
It's not much to ask, considering the price they paid.
Remember...FREEDOM IS NEVER FREE!
The problem with socialism is that
you eventually run out of other
people's money.

Late Nite Catechism
By Vicki Quade & Maripat Donovan, Ongoing; call for dates and times,
Stage 2, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Single ticket
price: $36, The longest-running play in the Valley is still in a
class by itself! Audience members are the students in catechism
class, and Patti Hannon is "Sister" in this hilarious interactive
comedy. You better be on your best behavior, or else Sister is
likely to put you in the corner‹on stage! Every performance is
unique and will appeal to all, regardless of one¹s faith.
Late Nite Catechism II: Sometimes We Feel Guilty Because We Are
Guilty By Maripat
Donovan, Ongoing; call for dates and times,
Stage 2, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Single ticket
price: $36, That¹s right, the fun continues in Sister¹s second
catechism class! You don¹t need to graduate from the first class to
enjoy this one; Sister will give extra attention to her slower
students. Sister has felt banners, a filmstrip, handouts, historical
facts and hysterical insights to explain every nun¹s goal: getting
into heaven and bringing along as many of the faithful as possible.
Using a special version of Chutes and Ladders to demonstrate her
point, Sister tells us where we¹ve gone wrong, and no one is excused
from her firm belief that "sometimes we feel guilty because we are
guilty." Native Trails January 9
