<p>Ahhh if only I could be in two places at once!

on Saturday, March 6, 2010<br />
from 12 &#8211; 5pm </font></strong><br />
for a <strong>Devious Indie Fashion Experience</strong>, with live fashion shows, shopping from local designers and art throughout the outlining galleries. This a must attend event! This event will host Fashion In Motion IV, free fashion shows taking place every hour beginning at noon, complete with avante garde photo shoot right in the galleries and on the street!</p>
<p>Be sure to stick around for Devious Gong, loosely based on the 70&#8217;s game show, The Gong Show. This season it is truly open mic! Each stand up comedian will have 7 minutes to impress the judges and make them laugh. The judges will have card holders and decide how long the acts get to stay on stage. If the act is dying, ie. oldest puns in history, lagging jokes or if they just aren&#8217;t funny the judges will hold up their card. If all 3 cards are showing, the Gong Master will strike the gong to signal the end. If the comedian outlasts the Gong, they will go on to the next round.</p>
<p>Who can get up and perform? Anyone, we&#8217;re looking for anyone who thinks they can be funny for 7 minutes with the chance of winning a prize.</p>
<p>21 and over due to language.</p>
<p>Want to participate in our version of the &#8220;Gong Show&#8221;? You will have 7 minutes to make our judges laugh or risk being Gongged! To participate arrive at 1229 NW Grand Avenue at 4:30pm and ask for Iceman or Ray Love to get on the list, this is truly open mic season!</p>

<p>With my little company, <a href=http://strawberryhedgehog.com>Strawberry Hedgehog</a>, I seem to always be telling people &#8220;what you put <strong>on </strong>your body is just as important as what you put <strong>in </strong>it!&#8221; Why? Because our skin is our biggest organ, just as it expels toxins in sweat it that delicate, thin membrane between your inner systems and the polluted outside world also absorbs what it comes in contact with.  The trick is learning how to read the labels, how to decipher those ingredient lists and figuring out exactly what IS in the stuff we slather on every day or suds up with in the shower. Historically, we have done some crazy things for beauty but by being mindful of what you&#8217;re using you can count yourself out of that modern group. Cosmetics and beauty products have a huge range of ingredients from seriously hazardous and cancer causing, to allergy-inducing, to down right gross (hello carmine!). <a href=http://www.ecocentricity.org/>Ecocentricity</a>, a fantastic ecofriendly shop in downtown Phoenix is offering an informative get together to clue you in on the No-No&#8217;s and what to look for. </p>
<blockquote><p> Join us for light refreshments and a good time. Hear from Donna Harris, CEO of Naturoli Beautiful, LLC , a local natural skin care company; Rachael Ward, founder of Mixology Makeup, a local mineral makeup company; Elizabeth Allard, owner of Organic Excellence, a local company offering natural hair care, anti-aging and therapeutic cremes; and someone from Just B &#8211; B Just, a local social enterprise offering natural soaps and benefiting individuals trying to escape homelessness. Sample products from these and other local companies offering natural alternatives &#8212; that really are natural. (* Men are welcome, too &#8212; the nasty stuff is in your skin care products too!) <a href=http://www.facebook.com/inbox/?tid=1201716958725#/event.php?eid=234670337020&#038;ref=mf>RSVP by following this link</a> or at 602.281-2725 so we will have enough refreshments to refresh everyone.</p></blockquote>

<strong>ADEQ Urges Proper Disposal of Turkey Grease Through Recycling Rather than Pouring it Down The Drain</strong><br />
PHOENIX – (Nov. 24, 2009) – Don’t listen to any of the traditional gobbledygook when it comes to disposing of turkey grease after your Thanksgiving Day feast.<br />
Pouring the grease down the drain clogs the pipes of many homes along with causing wastewater blockages and overflows in municipalities. There are environmentally conscious alternatives to disposal that not only protect wastewater infrastructure but can also help clean the air.<br />
&#8220;Just say no to clogs and yes to turkey grease recycling,” said Arizona Department of Environmental Quality Director Benjamin H. Grumbles. “Thankfully, more households, businesses, and communities are seeing green by keeping fats, waste vegetable oils, and greases out of drains and sewers and converting them into clean-burning biodiesel fuel easily and cheaply.”<br />
Arizona offers several venues for grease collection that will ensure it is used locally for the production of clean burning fuel.<br />
The Town of Gilbert and <a href="http://azbiodiesel.com">Az Biodiesel</a> group are partnering to collect the grease through Monday, Dec. 7 at eight Gilbert fire stations located at the following addresses: 215 N. Cooper Road, 2730 E. Williams Field Road, 2855 E. Guadalupe Road, 1011 E. Guadalupe Road, 909 E. Ray Road, 3630 E. Germann Road, 1095 E. Germann Road and 3595 E. Warner Road.<br />
In the Town of Cave Creek, <a href="http://www.dynamite.coop/">Dynamite Biofuels Co-op</a> is partnering with Big Earl’s Greasy Eats Restaurant, 6135 E. Cave Creek Road, and is offering a bin for grease collection daily from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 7 a.m. until 9 p.m. on Friday and Saturday during the holiday season.<br />
In Tucson, the Tucson Clean Cities Coalition, Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department and the recycling group <a href="http://www.grecycle.com/">Grecycle</a> will be sponsoring a grease disposal drive on Friday, Nov. 27 from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. at O’Reilly Chevrolet, 6160 E. Broadway; Pima County Industrial Wastewater Control Plant, 5025 W. Ina Road; and the City of Tucson Water Plant #2, 1102 W. Irvington Road.</p>

It hasn&#8217;t gotten any better, in fact, it has gotten worse as demonstrated by recent widespread contaminated meat recalls, etc. The American diet in general is lacking, unbelievable levels of obesity and diabetes in children is shocking and undeniably traced back to diet. Meals poor in nutrition, high in fat, and high in preservatives, binders and other random unpronounceable additives are what sustain our children throughout the school day. Kids must have healthy food when they are expected to concentrate and perform at the levels that modern schools demand. It is impossible for anyone to function without the proper fuel. <a href=http://www.slowfoodusa.org/>Slow Food USA</a> has organized a chance for  communities to come together and make a statement that the current way of highly processed, precooked, preserved and frozen foods is not good enough for our kids. Whole foods, nutritious foods, REAL food is what they need.  Here are locations where you can become a part of this movement&#8230; No time to be there yourself? <a href=https://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5986/t/6238/shop/custom.jsp?donate_page_KEY=1166>Make a donation</a> or at least <a href=http://www.slowfoodusa.org/index.php/campaign/time_for_lunch/>Sign their Petition</a>.</p>
<p><a href=http://www.slowfoodusa.org/><img src=https://app.icontact.com/icp/loadimage.php/mogile/45986/e6dc8e067103dae3ae3788b264e83697/image/jpeg width=600></a></p>
<blockquote><p>In three days, people in all 50 states will sit down to share a meal and bend the direction of history just a little bit. Together, we are publicly rejecting the notion that our schools can’t afford to feed kids anything but the bad food that makes them sick. And the way we’re making this statement is by bringing neighbors together in the spirit of good will and for the joy of sharing good food. That is the heart of our movement. </p></blockquote>

<p><strong>Where</strong>: <a href=http://insidethebungalow.com>Inside the Bungalow</a> has donated the use of their beautiful facilities for the event. They are at 48 N. Robson<br />
Mesa, AZ 85201</p>
<p><strong>What</strong>: Dinner, auction and good times with food donated from <a href=http://greenvegetarian.com/>Green Vegetarian Restaurant</a> to benefit <a href=http://www.farmsanctuary.org/>the Farm Sanctuary</a></p>
<p><strong>How</strong>: The cost is $30 per person if you order your tickets before Oct. 2nd and $40 if you wait too long. Go to <a href=http://firstgiving.com/azfarmparty>the official donation webpage, http://firstgiving.com/azfarmparty, to buy your tickets</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Why</strong>:  <a href=http://farmsanctuary.org/>Farm Sanctuary</a> is a national, non-profit animal protection organization. Each year they rescue, rehabilitate and provide lifelong care for hundreds of animals rescued from factory farms, stockyards and slaughterhouses. In addition to operating the shelters, we work to gain legal protection for animals used in food production and to raise public awareness about factory farm cruelty and cruelty-free alternatives. Working against factory farming, from any angle, works against not just the cruelty inflicted therein but also against the huge environmental waste and pollution generated by those farms.  If nothing else it is going to be a beautiful evening with fabulous food and compassionate people. </p>
<p>I hope to see you there! <a href=http://firstgiving.com/azfarmparty>Please buy your tickets now.</a></p>
