I'm sitting here in the wee pre-dawn hours, netbook in my lap, and in front of the television. Of course, I'm bare-assed naked as I watch the events unfold in London. Prince William marries Katherine Middleton today in Westminster Abbey with about 1,900 guests attending. I've had some fairly interesting thoughts over the past hour or so as I see the royal and important persons arrive at the Abbey. Everyone there, regardless of rank or station in life, underneath all their finery, is just as naked as I am at this moment! Nothing new, right? As naturists/nudists, this is a concept that we're already aware. However, I wonder if any of the nuptial attendees know this? No matter how much you paid for your concealment and vanity, beneath it all, nothing is any different.
Secondly, exactly how many of those notable guests crammed into Westminster Abbey are actual, practicing naturists/nudists themselves? Given the number of people there, given the law of averages, we all know that there are at least a half-dozen or more under that roof. What would it be like if they all stood up at a pre-determined moment at removed their clothes? With almost 2 billion people worldwide viewing the ceremony, imagine the reaction to that? I daresay it would upstage the royal couple in a heartbeat!
Finally, in all seriousness, I wish the newlyweds all my best. I hope they are happier than Prince William's parents. After all this fuss, they deserve it.
Peace! Get naked. Enjoy!

A President Is Born
It's official. It's legal. It actually happened. Yesterday, the White House produced proof positive (for the second time) that President Barack Hussein Obama, our duly-elected leader, was indeed born of two human parents. That's right, he was conceived, gestated in his mother and then travelled through her birth canal. He was birthed, just as the majority of us. There was no Frankenstein-like humanoid collage illusion manufactured to create him. He was born. His father was from Kenya, yes. His father was a Kenyan national. Yes. However, Mr. President Obama was born in hospital, in Hawaii, on American soil, just as he said he was. Just like he told us all along. Unlike some of his recent predecessors in the Oval Office, Mr. Obama didn't lie. He was born. Of course, most of us knew this all along.
Way back when, a few years ago, when some opponents of our current leader couldn't find anything better to do, they concocted the rumor that Mr. Obama was born elsewhere, not on American soil. Those who couldn't stomach the idea that a Black man had the ability and intelligence to become President latched onto this innuendo and it became their creed. They didn't have the courage to admit to their bigotry outright, so they chose to cowardly stand behind this issue to justify their opposition. In fact, they became so obsessed they gave rise to a new term in right-wing extremism: birthers. This term reflects the Constitutional qualification that a U. S. President must be born in this country. He cannot be a naturalized citizen.
In response to this idle gossip and pettiness, President Obama's staff released a copy of his Certificate of Live Birth. After all, we were a nation facing active wars on two fronts and a global financial crisis of biblical proportion; we didn't need to be distracted from the major tasks at hand by such poorly disguised racist ploys. We, the people, elected this President to lead us, not to prove that he was born. Mr. Obama was dealing with the false accusations while focusing on our greater national interests. He was doing his best to fulfill his obligation to our country and us, the American people.
Did the matter disappear? No. Why? Because prejudice and fear doesn't go away overnight. Stupid begets stupid and suddenly the Tea Party appeared and the bigots became bolder and more obsessed. No matter that the State of Hawaii only issues a Certificate of Live Birth (as proscribed by law) to persons born on the islands; the fanatics wanted more to fuel their fire of dissension. They demanded additional proof of President Obama's birth through his Long-Form Birth Document. In Hawaii, this is kept on file with the Hawaii Department of Health and is not copied and provided to individuals. It is available for inspection but not for distribution. This was established policy by Hawaii. It was not an attempt at cover-up nor obstruction of justice.
Enter Donald Trump into the political scene. He wants to become his groups presidential candidate in 2012. He raises the issue once again and continues to force it into the national debate. For the second time, the White House is compelled to respond. The White House legal team appeals to the Hawaii Health Department to circumvent established policy and issue a copy of Mr. Obama's Long-Form Birth Document. In other words, a special dispensation from official policy so as to silence the racists. This was finally accomplished and the results made public yesterday.
Now, Donald Trump wants to take credit for doing what others failed to do in resolving this issue. I, for one am willing to stand up and say to him: Thank you, Donald Trump, for showing the rest of the world exactly what part of their anatomy bigots wear on their shoulders: their asses. I am grateful for your ass leading all the other stupid asses to the truth.
By the way, Donald, I have a request of you. I know you've always cheated on your income taxes. Can you provide the American people with copies of all your tax forms for the past twenty years?
Author's Note: Yes, I am a White man accusing other White people of being racists. I know what I know.

What's This?
WTF? You may be asking yourself that at this very moment. No, I haven't lost my mind completely, at least, not just yet. Trust me, I initially experienced the same reaction when I saw this photograph. What the hell is wrong with this fucking picture? This can't be right! Why would anyone be so foolish as to put a practicing naturist/nudist inside a clothing store? Next, I thought: Maybe my naked brother took a wrong turn and entered by mistake? Soon followed the idea that this was simply a bad dream/nightmare and that I'll wake up in a minute and it'll all be over. Unfortunately, none of the above applies here.
As nudists, we are, much to our collective chagrin, a minority within our society. The majority are addicted to clothes and accessories. They can and do restrict our rights to openly and freely practice our naturist ways whenever and wherever we choose. After all, they seriously outnumber us and are thus able to make the rules. And we, being dutiful and law-abiding citizens, adhere to those laws and regulations.
For us, the minority, to fulfill our civic responsibility and conform to the whims of the majority, we are forced to wear clothes when interacting among those not of our culture of nakedness. Hence our need to go out and shop for approprite garments so that we remain within the established guidelines of respectability. None of us want the reputation of being a criminal or outlaw. So, we bite the bullet and play by the rules. And, we wear clothes when we're expected to do so.
I'd like to think that this particular photographer was being somewhat sarcastic when he made plans for this picture. I hope that he was intending, through his art, to highlight the absurdity of this whole situation. The rebelliousness side of me needs to believe that this is the case. Of course, the deed probably won't change the status quo, but at least a few might pause and consider the message, if only for a moment.
On the other hand, perhaps the artist/photographer was merely capturing for posterity the secret dream/fantasy of all nudists the world over. The ability and the freedom to come and go, as we please, naked, natural or as nude as we want. If we truly want to shop in the buff, then that should be left for us to decide. After all, the majority get to choose precisely what they wear when they go out. Why shouldn't we have the same opportunity? Fair is fair, right?
Isn't this the land of the free and the home of the brave (and nude)? If any of you have your own thoughts concerning this picture, please share them here.
Peace! Get naked. Enjoy!

Remembering Shemar Nude
It wasn't all that long ago, actually, it was the summer of 2007. That's when the ludicrous happened. Shemar Moore, one of the popular stars of the television series, Criminal Minds, fulfilled one of his many desires and visited a naturist/nudist beach on California's coast. Well, not quite as simple as that. Not only did Mr. Moore just go and swim, he honestly removed his clothes and spent the afternoon naked at the clothing-free waterfront. Nude while relaxing at an area where it was perfectly legal to do so. What was the major problem?
What transpired next created a media storm that made headlines and caused many to denounce Shemar as a degenerate and predict the demise of his successful career. A fan spotted the star while enjoying himself, naturally, and took several photographs of the handsome actor and former model. Within hours, these were sold to the press and soon appeared all over the world. That was only the beginning of Shemar's nightmare.
The next day, in print publications both online and hardcopy, the story was further sensationalized with reports that not only was he naked, it was also at a gay nudist beach. Here it was, this hunky entertainment idol was hanging out, literally, with queer men. And, on their own turf/surf. It was his publicist's nightmare-come-true. His professional days were over and done. Period.
Within days, the journalists who reported this incident were wiping the proverbial egg off their respective faces. Quick to cover the episode without checking their sources, they were the ones facing professional humiliation. The gay angle was all bogus. The State of California has clothing-optional beaches along the Pacific Coast. However, a public gay nudist beach, one designated exclusively for queer people, simply doesn't exist anywhere in the United States. Privately, yes; however, on public land, no way. Perhaps the culprits should have entitled their nonsense, "Much Ado About Nothing."
Mr. Moore, to his credit, kept his cool and weathered the storm. Instead of avoiding the issue, he met his detractors head-on. Being nude at the beach was something he'd always wanted to experience. Yes, he's comfortable with his nudity. It was all perfectly legal and legitimate. No one was either hurt nor violated. Although he himself isn't gay, he's friends with many people who are. By the way, he's also still a star with a growing fan-base on Criminal Minds. In case you haven't noticed, he continues to look good as hell!

Spain Opens Nude Gym
The Easy Gym, located in the midsized city of Arrigorriaga, in Spain's Basque region, is the pioneer in this recent bid to attract additional income from the underserved nudist community. This innovative and natural bid to combat the effects of the worldwide economic recession began early last week after owners researched different options for increasing memberships and visitors to the facility. Easy Gym is the first fitness business/club in Spain to afford patrons this opportunity.
"With the
With twelve nudist beaches within the Basque region alone, the gym approached the local nudist community for support. Maite Vicuna, president of the Basque Naturist Association, attended the naturist opening ceremony at the Easy Gym last week. "We're always interested in new activities," she explained to the BBC. "Doing sport without clothes is natural and much more comfy."
A poll of gym users prior to welcoming nudists showed that 90% supported the change. The facility offers free access to towels for naked guests in order to provide comfort and hygiene. The staff are already searching for a nude yoga instructor on a part-time basis. Posted times for nude workouts and fitness classes are all afternoon on Saturdays and all day on Sundays.
Nude gyms/workout clubs already operate in France and several other nations on the European continent. If the transition at Easy Gym proves to be successful, other businesses may follow their lead.

Happy Easter!
Happy Easter to all! The greeting in Greek to the right says precisely the same thing and is my holiday card to each of you. I send to you best wishes for a safe and fun-filled Easter Sunday and for all the days thereafter. Traditionally, Easter is a major "dress up" ocassion, so I hope that you have the opportunity to spend at least part, if not all, of the day nude. What better way to welcome the Bunny than in the buff, right? To those of you who aren't able to enjoy some of the day naked, rest assured, summer isn't far away and there'll be plenty of nude beach days for us all.
Twin arrived here last night and later this morning we're travelling together for the annual gathering of our extended tribe to celebrate the holiday. Over the next several days, it's all about family and the preparations for the upcoming feast. Of course, in true Greek tradition, the real reason for all the festivities is paramount over all our usual customs. There's litugical services every night, with one of the most solemn taking place Friday evening with the Lamentations Service, or the Entombment of the Crucified.
Saturday, we'll spend helping our nieces and nephews decorating their Easter Candles and dyeing red eggs. As the size of the tribe increases, this is no longer the simple task that it once was. Actually, it seems to get a little more complicated with each passing year. Then there's Midnight Divine Liturgy on Saturday night that marks the arrival of The Resurrection.
All this is followed by Sunday, the day of food, family, Easter games and egg hunts and traditional dancing and various relatives sing and make music from the homeland.
And then, the best Easter treat of all: The Tsoureki. The special sweet holiday bread, baked only at Easter, twisted and decorated with dyed eggs. No one bakes it better than Mom!
Happy Easter!

Nude Novice Notes: Outdoor Essentials
Newbie nudists, as well as us veterans, should take this opportunity to think about what items we may need to ensure maximimum delight in our summer escapades. Advance preparation allows us the chance to cover our bases and our bodies with the best protection possible. None of us want those natural nasties to interfere with our social calendar and to spoil all our fun.
In a few previous nude novice notes (August and September, 2010), different styles of storage options were suggested. Whichever option is best, now is the time to begin gathering the basic supplies necessary for both our safety and our pleasure. Better prepared now and ready than caught unprepared and sorry later. As the temperatures are steadily rising, we never know when an exceptional day may appear and we may want to spontaneously participate in a last-minute social opportunity.
Sunscreen tops the list of seasonal essentials. Trust, this is one thing we don't want to overlook. It's always a good idea to keep a spare on hand just to be sure. Lip balm is next on the list. Yes, my brothers, they do suffer sun-damage; they burn, crack and dry. Sunglasses are important as they protect our eyes from UV rays. Anytime that we're outside, a small amount of insect repellant is helpful. Bugs don't restrict themselves to just the wilderness of hiking trails, they visit beach and pool locations as well as backyards.
Next on our checklist is hand sanitizer. This is available in many compact sizes and as both a gel and a spray. Then add a few first-aid adhesive strips (popularly referred to as "band-aids") and a pair of tweezers (to remove any pesky splinter or small piece of glass). Now that we're thinking convenience, safety and protection, if there are any additional supplies required (such as medication, allergy relief, etc.), make certain these are stocked and we should be set for a day in the sun and ready for fun.
A few packages of latex condoms and a small container of water-based lubricant complete the list. Please remember to never keep these stored in an automobile for an extended period of time. Extreme temperatures compromise the strength of the latex.
Accidents and emergencies will happen. Hopefully, a little planning ahead will reduce the impact on our outdoor excursion and permit us all to experience a good time. As always, better safe and prepared beforehand rather than sorry afterwards.

Anticipation Of The Easter Feast
This year, both Holy (Orthodox) Easter and Western Easter occur on the same date. The difference in observances is due to the Eastern tradition of adhereing to the Julian Calendar and the Western custom of following the Gregorian Calendar. Usually, the two holidays generally fall between one to four weeks apart. The Western Easter always precedes the Eastern Church celebration of the Feast except when the two coincide.
Due to the schedule of prayer services every evening this week, I've already written postings for the week and scheduled them for automatic publication. Later in the week, I'll join both Twin and Cuz as we gather with our extended family in the holiday festivities. I'll return home early next week and resume publishing then.

Post Card From Florida III
This is my final morning on this current visit to Florida. As usual on any type of nakation, semi-nakation or vacation, the time passed all too soon! This post card depicts one of the many locals that I befriended on my trip. I just wanted to share this memory with you.
All good things must come to an end. I don't know where exactly I read that, but the words are so true. This afternoon I'll fly back home and these past nine days in "The Sunshine State" will soon become a fond memory to be revisited in the pages of my photo album. It's funny that the fun times go swiftly and the periods of misery seem to last forever. However, that's life!
I recommend a nakation for everyone! Travelling with minimal baggage/luggage is THE only way to go now that the airlines are charging fees per piece of checked bags. It also means that there are fewer items to monitor and a significant reduction in the risks of losing or misplacing. It also eliminates time wasted at the baggage claim area of the airport. Less time spent waiting and more time for doing the fun things in life.
One pitfall to avoid: Just because you pack less doesn't necessarily mean that you can purchase more on your adventure. After all, it has to get back home somehow. If you have the desire to buy more, try shipping those items to yourself. In many instances, it's less expensive than checking bags on departure. I used this option and my carry-on bag for my return is the same weight as when I arrived on this excursion. The only addition is the camera that I neglected to bring with me. Somewhere on my list of articles to bring, I forgot to write down: brain! LOL!
Peace! Get naked. Enjoy!

NBA Playoffs
Most of you are aware of my affinity for the sport of basketball. Rest assured, I'll be beachside watching the action on the courts as the playoffs begin tomorrow, Saturday, April 16, 2011. The first battle is scheduled for 1:00 p.m., featuring Chicago against Indiana. I hope to be absorbing a few solar rays, basking at the nearby clothing-optional waterfront, while viewing the competition. Trust, I won't become so involved in the game as to ignore the local scenery! I do have some ability to multi-task! My favorites are Chicago Bulls for the Eastern Conference and LA Lakers for the Western Conference.
I am by no means abandoning my campaign to change the name of the professional organization. I still feel that the NBA should be renamed the Nude Basketball Association. I'm firmly convinced that the multimillions these players receive should feature the entire season played in the nude. After all, nudity was good enough for the classic Greek Olympians. And remember, they competed for a simple laurel wreath that rested on their head. No gold nor silver for them, simply callouses on their feet. Basketball, professional, collegiate or neighborhood pick-up, id best played nude!

Post Card From Florida II
The final part of my nine-day, semi-nakation here in The Sunshine State is now beginning. The weather has been terrific and the local scenery only gets better with each passing day. The beaches are perfect and all the men, both residents and tourists, are very friendly and kind. It's true when others say that nudists are a very hospitable crowd and welcome everyone.
It's difficult to believe that almost a week has passed since arriving here in Florida. All too fast the time passes when you're having fun! The only negative aspect of the entire trip is the time spent travelling from one hotel to the next. Personally, I feel those hours are wasted as I could use the time greeting and meeting others on the beach.
My encounters during this nakation/vacation reinforce the truth that naked men are friendlier and more congenial than are our textile counterparts. Once you remove the clothes, there's nothing left to hide. Everyone seems to relax those artificial barriers and appear to be comfortable and happy with being themselves.
One of the amazing aspects of this excursion is that I've made the acquaintance of a few men (and one hotel staff person) who are familiar with this blog. I guess that means I need to be on my best behavior at all times! Damn! Just when I thought I could loosen up and have some fun! LOL! Oh, well! Looks like I'll simply have to behave myself and enjoy the remaining days here as best as I am able. That, or be very discrete!

Jobs For Men With Naked Ambition
The company, appropriately named Nude House, is a division of a corporation named Songbird, Ltd., which was founded in 1977, by Chris Taylor. The U.K. based business develops a variety of software services, including the enhancements of photographs and other graphics. Mr Taylor said: "I decided I would buy some new offices in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, and I decided it would be a naturist office. I am a naturist and I like the idea of working with males and females of the same persuasion." He added, "The software we sell doesn't require the sales people or technical people to be involved with the customers."
This new office site will focus on marketing a new product, "Move Your Mouse." This service enables customers to display "hot images" on their websites that links specific products to product information. The general public will not be able to look inside the office area. The temperature in this environment will be kept at 23 degrees C. The staff will be paid the pound equivalent of USD$40,000.
The job description states: "New applicants will be required to work in the nude from the time they arrive at work until the time they leave. Nude means no clothes, whatsoever, and no shoes, either. Each of you, male and female, will behave decorously."
According to Mr. Taylor, "As far as I am aware this is not only the first U.K. office job for naturists in web-coding or web-selling, but is also the first worldwide facility for naturists to earn substantial sums of money from work that incidentally provides them with the capacity to work entirely without clothes." He next stated, "I just like the habit of being without clothes. I enjoy being naked and being with other people who are naked. I don't have any hang-ups about it."
Personally, I've always thought of the British people as very reserved and proper, even when nude. Yes, they can be fun and friendly in their own dignified manner. These job opportunities prove that they are also more progressive can the rest of us could ever imagine.

Homeland Security: Scanner Skitters
However, this process is no longer a novelty. It's been in place now for almost five months in general and longer in some localities. There has been sufficient media coverage surrounding this procedure that it shouldn't be a surprise for anyone planning air travel. It is a part of our daily routine. And, we have a valid reason for this routine: it is supposed to make us all a little safer while flying the friendly skies. At least, that's what the folks at our national security offices want us to think.
Regardless, I was briefly amused last week while departing for my trip to Florida. Watching people undergo this scanning operation caused me to smile to myself and shake my head. More than a few were visibly nervous as they approached the revealing cylinder that they had to cross in order to gain access to their flights. One might think that they were entering a capsule that was about to launch them into a distant place in time. All this stress even though others ahead of them in the line were plainly in view as they took their turn going through security. I thought: Is anyone really that modest?
A few actually had difficulty raising their arms above their heads. This wasn't due to any mobility nor coordination issues. It was simply they had problems from removing one hand from covering/protecting their genitalia. Like one hand is going to prevent the scanner from imaging their penis or vagina. Did they truly think they were the only person that generously endowed? How would they react if we all had to go behind closed doors and be individually strip-searched?
As a veteran people-watcher, I saw the humor in the anxiety felt by some of my skittish fellow-travellers. It relieved my boredom as I waited for my own scanning session. In retrospect, as a penance for my transgression of deriving so much pleasure from the obvious pain of others, I should have stepped up and totally stripped off all my clothes when my turn arrived. Now that I think about it, given the muscular physique of the handsome man at the scanning device, I missed my chance to romp with that one. Perhaps I have already atoned for my offense!

Post Card From Florida
Dear Readers,
Azz you can well imagine, the scenery here on the clothing-optional beaches in Florida is great! The weather is fine and the people that I'm meeting are open and friendly. Visualize the above picture magnified by the hundreds. This is now the morning of day three here and typically, the nine days are passing by all too soon.
Please forgive me the above intentional pun. I couldn't resist the opportunity to include that one! Today is our last here in the area of Haulover Beach, one of Florida's many clothing-optional beaches and by far its most popular one. We've spent the three previous nights in an oceanfront hotel nearby and later this morning will depart for a different property in a new area of the state. This facility is located close to a nude beach that I've never visited before and I hope to enjoy myself as much there as I have here.
As with every trip, nakation, semi-nakation (as is this one for me) or vacation, something always gets left behind, forgotten. This excursion is no exception. I remembered to pack everything I needed save my cameras. Before we depart here today, I plan to shop around and buy an inexpensive one to use for the remainder of this trip. As much as I enjoy photography, I still can't believe I left all three of mine at home! That clearly demonstrates how much I needed this relaxation time!
Peace! Get naked. Enjoy!

Semi-Nakation With Benefits
These nine days of rest are a vacation, not a nakation (although I would have preferred the latter). My friend and I will be visiting a few resorts that are totally textile. I'm not too happy about this but the agency paying for the excursion (in other words, airfare and accomodations are free) is expecting our honest evaluation of customer service and friendliness on the properties where we lodge. That is a small price to pay for having to wear clothing when travelling and on site. Essentially, this entire trip is a freebie and any complaining is pointless.
There is a silver lining inside the proverbial cloud. All three of the facilities are less than an hour away from two different clothing optional beaches. This will offer us a welcome respite from the textile world and afford us a chance to truly relax in a friendly environment. One of the beaches I've never visited before. That, itself, provides us with the golden opportunity to explore new terrain. Likewise, the anticipation of meeting new people during our visits and frolics on sand and in water. On second thought, perhaps this is a semi-nakation. I'm one of those men who typically views the glass as half-full rather than half-empty. Indeed, a partial nakation is much better than no nakation at all.
All things considered, it should be an interesting nine days. Room service and clothes in exchange for days of nudity and sun. A little bit of the best of both worlds on someone else's dime. At least we're destined to be in Florida and not Alaska!

Sanitizing Nudity
This was true for me at that particular moment in my life. I saw no reason for trying to portray gay social nudism for anything other than what it truly is: same gender loving men proudly sharing their individual nudity with other men who prefer the same. Clearly, all the men are naked. What purpose is served by concealing their genitalia? Nude is the absence of any covering. Why remove the clothes only to replace the the garments by hands and other bodies? At that time, I could think of no logical explanation for this practice. It was beyond my understanding.
Recently, a couple of naturist friends and I were having a discussion concerning this topic. Surprisingly, I found myself defending this custom. In this age of keeping things real and reality TV; here I was, a harsh critic of false representation, now rushing to the defense of this habit that borders on deceit and prudishness.
The reason for this change of heart is simple. Visibility at all costs. The concept of social nudity is present in the picture. The meaning is clear for all to see. There is no room for any misunderstanding. Few, if any, media outlets would find it difficult not to feature this photo in any presentation. It is innocuous enough to offer to most mainstream audiences. At the most, only a small minority might find it offensive or vulgar.
In this period in time when we are witnessing an alarming increase in gay teen suicides, it is important that we reach the questioning or marginalized youth who are vulnerable. We need to remind those at risk for taking their own lives that they are not alone. There are others out there who share their feelings and are living their lives. Especially those young people who face the burden of being both queer and nudist and growing up in Podunk, wherever, with no one to talk to. We need to reach them before they harm themselves.
If sanitizing nudity enables the mainstream media to be the tool to deliver this message, then let's use it. If it's possible to communicate this fact to only one isolated teen, then the end is justified by the means. If one life can be spared, it's worth the effort. Our future, as a community, a culture and a country depends on the productivity and creativity of the next generation. Even one life lost is too big a price to pay.
I can live with the sanitization of nudity if it saves a life.
Peace! Get naked. Enjoy!

April Lament!
I can't offer any last minute solution to the dilemma this creates. I don't know why many procrastinated about a fitness regimen during the dormant days of cold winds, ice and snow. I do understand why. After all, we had to bury ourselves beneath layers of clothes just to get to the gym because the temperatures outside were below freezing. I know this caused some to simply skip the effort. I even sympathize as it was a chore for me to face those frigid mornings and drag my ass to the gym. Yes, I feel you there, my brothers.
At the same time, we all knew that better days were ahead. As certain as night follows day, winter is replaced by Spring which is, in turn, is followed by Summer. We all are aware that we are nudists and that means shedding all clothes at every available opportunity. I have no explanation for this temporary loss of memory except, perhaps: brain freeze. The winter weather brought on my amnesia.
I can offer you some advice. First, it's not to late to take steps to make you feel better about yourself. Rather than wallow in self-pity, get out to the gym or outside and do whatever to bring your body back to life. Add to that a healthier diet and soon you'll both look and feel better about you. Don't waste energy on the April Lament. Instead, focus on getting back on track and doing what you need to do for you.
Finally, remember, as naturists, we are accepting of the male nude with all imperfections. We embrace all our brothers, whatever their physical flaws. We do this because we likewise recognize that all of us are imperfect ourselves. I know that I'm not a mass of muscle built like a classical god. Far from it, my nudity is my individuality and uniqueness. My nakedness, your nakedness, our nudity is not a cause for shame. Don't be concerned, my nude brothers, be proud.
Peace! Get naked. Enjoy!

Vancouver's Naturist Beach
The first nudists to use Wreck Beach in the 1970s were arrested for indecency, although the provincial Crown Prosecuter was disinclined to prosecute. This action was followed by a 300 person "nude-in" protest that attracted ten times that number as spectators. Several years passed with demonstrations both for and against allowing naturist visitors. On July 10, 1977, it was granted official status as Canada's first designated clothing-optional beach.
Signs now adorn the trail leading through the park approaching the beach area as "clothing-optional." A welcome site for the thousands of nudists who visit each year.

Great Job, VCU Rams!
You exceeded everyone's expectations in pursuit of your dream. Your upset of the competition as you progressed through the tournament bracket amazed millions nationwide. Time after time you proved to be a serious contender for the championship and a force not to be taken lightly. You showed this country that there is no shame in your game.
Last night, in the Final Four round of the playoffs, you offered a fierce challenge to Butler University. The final score of 70-62 is no cause for disgrace. Actually, as far as B-Ball scores go, you held your own and gave the Bulldogs no chance to pause for glory. In the world of collegiate Hoops, you remained on your game.
Great job, guys! Hold your head high!
Peace! Get naked. Enjoy!

March Madness: Final Four: Go VCU!
The NCAA collegiate basketball super-tournament popularly known as March Madness has finally wound it's way down to the Final Four; the last four teams standing with all eyes on the championship. This year, this competition was fierce with a little more than the usual number of surprise upsets. One of these amazing results is now in the final four bracket: VCU (Virginia Commonwealth University) Rams.
The Final Four elimination begins tonight with #11 VCU facing #8 Butler University Bulldogs in Reliant Stadium, Houston, Texas. The game begins at 6:09 p.m., and will be aired live on the CBS Network. Now, I didn't attend VCU, however, I'm all behind the men from VCU as they face this challenge. I'll support the team from my home state. Go VCU! Go Rams!
Peace! Get naked. Enjoy!

Bountiful Harvest - Beauty for Ashes Transitional home - Alexandria. It is amazing what 2 ladies, Jan Busby and Sharon Renfro, can accomplish. Each resident has an individual plan based on their needs and preferences. Residents are supported not only with food and shelter, but with love, encouragement, spirituality and friendship. All monies go to support of the transitional home and residents. No salaries are paid to anyone and much of the work needed is through volunteers. (Entered by GreatNonprofits staff member on behalf of reviewer)
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
the residents. GEDs are accomplished, special training such as CNA is completed, people are educated and become employed.
More feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the people.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
warm and generous. They show great passion.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

How to Cover Your Assets in a Speculative Stock Position
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Speculative investing gets a bad name.
That's because too many investors treat it like they do phone calls, text messages, Facebook posts and Tweets after having too much to drink. Drunk dialing, texting, Facebooking and Tweeting are all sloppy, not very well-thought out endeavors that tend not to end well.
When you speculate, you should do it not only in moderation, but with companies you know well.
All too often, investors associate low-priced stocks or once-healthy, now-depressed companies with speculation. While these and similar factors might ultimately be ingredients of a speculative play, you absolutely cannot use them -- in and of themselves -- to identify specs.I like to take spaces I know well and search for speculative opportunities within them. For example, I break media and telecommunications stocks down into large companies with their hands in a bit of both (e.g., VZ, T, RCI, BCE), pure-play old guard media (e.g., TWX, DIS, NWSAB) and new/social media tech types such as Yahoo! (YHOO) and Pandora (P). Because I know the space well and have had success with several of its not-so-speculative plays, it makes sense to up the risk here and there. As a general rule, I do not go long a speculative stock if it's not optionable. It must not only have options available to trade, but there needs to be liquidity and a healthy selection of strikes and expirations. Sufficient volume to keep me away from crazy bid/ask spreads helps as well. Consider Yahoo! In Marissa Mayer is a Woman, Hear Her Roar and Buy Yahoo!, I suggested that, with the stock trading around $15.80, it might be time to buy. I did just that, accumulating a small position at a cost basis of $15.89. The stock promptly ran past $16.00, pulled back and then, after closing Monday's session at $15.77, bolted to around the $16.50 level in earnings-induced after-hours trading. In case you missed it, Yahoo! turned in a solid report Monday afternoon. On Friday, I wrote weekly YHOO $16.50 calls (expiring Oct. 26) against part of my position.

A hot maturefree nude celeb sex tape - For others the idea of dirtiness heightens the joy of the forbidden; for them, douching is anti-erotic. 9. Anal intercourse is not necessarily an act of dominance and submission. The top-bottom imagery associated with anal intercourse is widespread. No doubt the belief that anal sex has to hurt contributes to this notion. And in fact some people are intensely excited by top-bottom fantasies about anal sex. The thought that they are submitting to such a degrading act is a terrific thrill. However, actual, not fantasized, anal pain can lead to trouble. For others, ...

Instinctively she held out her arms, the wrists about a foot from each other. It is always good to see an eager, self training, bondage toy.

I was fucked in my ass again four more times, I had to lick each cock clean after each time. They left, and not long after, another group came by. Finally, the creep had Jassie bend over at the edge of the bed and gruffly ordered her not to move. He penetrated her with one lunge, making the girl cry out. He held on to her hips, ...

Al Gore Compares Global Warming to Civil Rights Movement
**Written by Doug Powers
Will anybody who took part in the actual civil rights movement speak out against a pasty enviro-hypocrite who dares equate his environmental sham with the struggle for equality?
From The Hill:
Al Gore told young green energy advocates Friday that progress on global warming must come from a strong grassroots movement that can counter the oil and coal lobbies, which he alleged have "paralyzed" governments.
Gore – who compared action on global warming to the Civil Rights movement – was the keynote speaker at Power Shift 2011, a Washington, D.C. conference attended largely by college students.
If global warming legislation is akin to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, what's Al trying to tell us? That even his father wouldn't have voted for Cap & Trade?
After meandering into his usual examples that "prove" anthropomorphic global warming, such as the floods and droughts that never existed until the past few decades (Noah and those who lived through the dust bowl unavailable for comment), Gore finally got to what this is all about:
He called combating climate change in the country's economic interest, comparing unchecked emissions to the sub-prime mortgage bubble that proved so damaging.
"We have got trillions of dollars of sub-prime carbon assets whose value depends on the assumption that it is perfectly all right to put these 90 million tons of pollution into the atmosphere every 24 hours," Gore said.
Translation: Come on, sheep — every second we waste implementing our global warming policy is a million fewer dollars in my bank account!
After the speech in DC, Gore then presumably drove his Chevy Volt back to his little eco hut in California.
Related update: The UN scrubbed their "50 million global warming refugees" prediction from their website, presumably because they were freaked out by how incredibly accurate they were. The science remains settled though.

You are hereHome › Dyslexia Screener
Dyslexia Screener
Helping you identify pupils with dyslexic tendencies.
The Dyslexia Screener is an assessment that identifies dyslexic tendencies in pupils aged 5–16+ years and recommends intervention strategies to help them achieve their potential.
The 30 minute test is an ideal tool for screening an entire year group, or for screening those pupils showing some signs of difficulty. It can play an important part in helping both specialist and non-specialist teachers distinguish between those individuals who are having general difficulties in literacy and those whose difficulties are associated with dyslexia.
The assessment comprises six tests covering three areas, with two assessments for each: Ability, Attainment and Diagnostic.
We offer this screener in two versions; a digital version that is delivered on Testwise, our online testing platform, and a downloadable version, which can be installed on your PC. To buy the digital version, call us on 0845 602 1937. Read more about the Dyslexia Screener formats.
Results and Reporting
The Dyslexia Screener has been standardised, so you can be assured that results presented are accurate and reliable. Results are easy to interpret and information on a pupil's strengths and weaknesses are detailed across each test. Standard Age Scores are provided and you will benefit from recommendations made as to the next steps in either further assessment or intervention..
- A Diagnostic Group Report; a convenient way of assimilating and storing results for a group of readers.
- A Parent/Carer Report plus further guidance and letter templates will help support your communication with parents and carers both before and after screening.
Dyslexia Screener - Digital (Online Version)
Dyslexia Screener Digital is an online assessment delivered through GL Assessment's Testwise system. The online format removes the burden of test administration, as all practice, instructions and timings are computer-administered. Also, instant scoring and reporting saves hours of marking time.
When is this format recommended?
- Where there is a suitable internet connection
- When the tool is needed to be used on multiple computers
- When the tool is being used to screen a large number of students.
To buy Dyslexia Screener Digital, please call us on 0845 602 1937. Unfortunately, our online version is not available to buy online.
Digital Demo
Play our Dyslexia Screener Digital demonstration, which includes sample questions and score sheets.
Dyslexia Screener - Downloadable Version
Please note, this version of the Dyslexia Screener will not be available for purchase from January 2015. Customers who buy this screener before this time will still have a one year licence until their subscription expires.
We offer a downloadable version of the Dyslexia Screener as an alternative to the CD-ROM. The Dyslexia Screener CD-ROM is no longer available.
When is this format recommended?
- Where there is no suitable internet connection
- When the tool is only needed to be accessed on one computer
- When the tool is being used to screen smaller numbers of individual students.
You can access your results and reports within your downloaded licence. Your results will remain available even after you renew your licence.
You can buy a 1 year licence for the downloadable version using the options to the right of this page. You simply need to wait for our Customer Services team to process your order at which point you can access your licences from within your "Licences" tab in the My Account area.
The software can be downloaded to any machine with an Internet connection, but can only be installed to PCs running Microsoft Windows XP and later (including XP, 7, Vista), approximately from year 2001 and above. Please note, you can only install your screener onto one computer and the licences are non-refundable once approved. To install on more than one computer, you must purchase more than one licence. If you want to use the screener on multiple computers, please see the online version.

Whenever I smell asphalt, I think of Maureen. That's the last sensation I had before I blacked out; that thick smell of asphalt. And the first thing I saw when I woke up was her face. She said she'd fix my bike. Free. No strings attached. I should've known then that things are never that simple. Yeah, when I think of Maureen, I think of two things: asphalt... and trouble.Full Throttle was a SCUMM based LucasArts adventure game released in 1995, set in a futuristic world somewhat reminiscent of Mad Max and focusing on the Badass Biker Ben Throttle, leader of the motorcycle gang "The Polecats". After unexpectedly making friends with Corley Motors CEO Malcolm Corley while resting at The Kickstand (a biker bar), he's taken out back by Corley's vice-president and confidant, Adrian Ripburger. Ripburger offers him and the Polecats a job to escort the limo to the annual shareholders meeting, but Ben declines out of pride. Faster than you can say "Corrupt Corporate Executive", Ripburger has Ben knocked out by his private thugs and chucks him in a dumpster, tricking the Polecats into following along with the escort. Ben attempts pursuit to make up for lost time, expecting an ambush for his gang, but finds his bike sabotaged and brutally wrecked on the highway. When he wakes up, he finds he's in a small mechanic's shop belonging to toaster repairman Maureen. She offers to fix his bike for free, as a favor, and also for the pleasure of working on a bike for the first time in a long while. But Ben quickly learns that things are not so simple, as his pursuit of Ripburger and his friendship with Maureen lead him into a greater conspiracy than he realized.The first solo project of legendary game developer Tim Schafer, Full Throttle features more of Schafer's sharp wit and love of heavy metal. It also had full voice acting and at-the-time revolutionary 3D rendering for the biker sequences. In addition, it was the only Lucas Arts game to make extensive use of licensed music, in this case by "authentic biker" metal band The Gone Jackals. While mostly an adventure game, it also splices in action-based bike fights during the driving sequences. The game is also notoriously short, even by adventure game standards, able to be completed in 10 hours even if you don't hurry. The game still has a cult following to this day.For the Pinball game from Heighway Pinball, click here.

Pittsburgh Pirates Move to Titusville -- April Fool's Day, 1963
The Titusville Herald ran a headline across the top of its sports page declaring that the Pittsburgh Pirates Major League Baseball team was moving to the small town of Titusville, Pennsylvania (population 5000). The team reportedly was making the move because it was "tired of battling the city fathers for a new stadium on Pittsburgh's North Side."
Players for the Pirates were said to be happy with the move, although reliefer Roy Face asked, "Where's Titusville?"
The April Fool's Day announcement caused the first sellout of the Titusville Herald in many years, as people bought copies for their scrapbooks.

He was born in Green Bay August 7, 1859, to Francis X. Desnoyers and Louise (Baird) Desnoyers. His father was the second mayor of the city.
After Frank's graduation from high school, he operated a store in Milwaukee for eight months, then returned to Green Bay and entered the men's furnishings business and later real estate.
n 1882, he married Miss Lelia E. Lindsley, a native of Green Bay and daughter of Myron P. Lindsley, who was the eighth Mayor of Green Bay. She died October 19, 1920. He had one daughter, Mary E., and three sons, Frank L., Harry B., and Philip P. He then married Augusta Nixon, Ashland, VA, in that city on October 4, 1923.
Mr. Desnoyers was prominent for years in Green Bay. He served as mayor in 1896,1897, and 1898, and after that three years aa a councilman and as County Treasurer from 1909-1913. He served on the Brown County Draft Board in WW I, was a member of the County Indigent Soldiers Commission, the County Drainage Board, and the Municipal Court Jury Commission. He was active in the organization of the first commercial group to function in the city - the Green Bay Businessmen's Association - and was President of the Association Charities a number of years after its organization. He was also a member of the Brown County Historical Society and the Brown County Fair Association.
Interested in sports both as a participant and promoter, he was identified with the organization of the Green Bay Athletic Association which operated a gymnasium, a gun club located in Washington Park (now Joannes Park), the Gentlemen's Driving and Riding club, which conducted harness races on the old Fair Association track in Washington Park. He was a driver of horses in these races and at county fairs for several years. Some of the horses he trained for other owners and some were owned by the partnership in which he and Frank J.B. Duchateau were associated for a number of years.

Policy & Farm Bill Briefing Book
Congressional Research Service
Redistributed as a service of the National Library for the Environment
Rural Development
Tadlock CowanIssue
Title VII of the 1996 farm bill, P.L. 104-127, The Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act, concerns rural development. Provisions of that title, along with the other provision of the 1996 bill, will expire in 2002. While other issues related to the new farm bill are likely to dominate congressional concerns, rural development will also receive attention. Issues related to re-authorizing the Rural Community Advancement Fund, the Fund for Rural America, and provisions related to telecommunications and telemedicine are likely be important matters in the 107th Congress.
The rural sector has always played an important role in U.S. prosperity and well-being. Until the 20th century, rural policy was mostly directed toward the distribution of nearly one billion acres of land from the federal government into private ownership. The federal goal was to stimulate population expansion and settlements as rapidly as possible to complement the land grants made to individuals, groups, and corporations. In 1862, the Homestead Act altered the system of fee simple purchase of acreage from the government to a system of free or inexpensive land grants of 160 acres to settlers willing to live on the land for at least five years. The Morrill Act of 1862 attempted to build up the human capital of the frontier societies, as well as the long-established agricultural economies of the East and South.
A reform movement emerged in the early 20th century which sought to speak for rural America and its interests. Taking its name from the Country Life Commission established by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908, the Country Life movement came to define much of the debate over rural development in the pre-World War I era. Essentially a rural reform movement, the Country Life movement's emphasis on technology and modernization established the direction that rural development policy has taken into the 21th century. Agricultural policy and rural well-being accordingly have often been regarded as inextricably linked.
This relation between rural development and agricultural production, however, is considerably more complex today as the structure of production and changing global markets lessen the role of agriculture in rural economies. In the few remaining agricultural-dependent counties ( 20% or more of labor and proprietor's income from agriculture), policy changes that affect farm commodity payments or credit can still have significant impact on community banks, schools, and other local businesses that depend on farm spending. In most rural areas, however, less than 7% of the workforce is employed in farming; and most household income for most farm families comes from off-farm sources.
Rural development and rural well-being involve a range of Federal agencies including the Departments of Health and Human Services, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Defense, and the Environmental Protection Agency. The Department of Agriculture, however, was designated lead agency for coordinating rural policy and has an Undersecretary of Agriculture for Rural Development to oversee rural policy. Three USDA agencies are responsible for the mission area:
USDA also administers the rural portion of the Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Communities Initiative, the Fund for Rural America, and the National Rural Development Partnership, a nation-wide network of rural development leaders and officials committed to the vitality of rural areas.
Three overarching attributes of virtually all rural areas make the federal policy environment complex:
Sparse populations relative to urban areas make scale economies difficult to achieve and make overcoming distances costly. Job growth in farming and mining-dependent rural counties continues to lag behind service, government, and non-specialized rural counties. Rural areas adjacent to metro-areas, however, achieved job growth nearly equal to that of metro areas in the 1990s even though wages in rural areas were lower than those in metro areas; remote rural areas grew much more slowly. Many agriculture-dependent counties saw population declines and little or no job growth in the 1990s. The great spatial and socioeconomic diversity of rural areas makes a one-size-fits-all rural policy very difficult to achieve.
Policy Issues
In the future, rural policy will be under increasing pressure to encompass a much broader array of policy issues. Key policy issues may include:
Congressional Action
In the 107th Congress, Reps. John Thune, Jo Ann Emerson, and Dennis Rehberg introduced H.R. 1093, The Value-Added Development Act for American Agriculture and H.R. 1094, the Farmers' Value-Added Agricultural Investment Tax Credit Act. The former would provide grants over three years to create Agriculture Innovation Centers to provide technical expertise to help growers form producer-owned value-added operations. The latter bill would enable growers to make investments in value-added enterprises to help growers capture more of the profits generated by the processing of commodities. Similar bills were also introduced in the 106th Congress.
Several bills have also been introduced in the 107th Congress that target broadband and enhanced Internet access for rural communities.

The complication: the magic formula has been stolen by a rival brewery. The original beermeisters send Rich Little out to steal back the formula, while the rival company dispatches Jamie Farr to prevent Little from completing his mission. Upon meeting one another, Rich and Jamie discover that they're old college chums and former student activists. Together, Little and Farr attempt to foil the mercenary machinations of both beer companies.

NBC's Up All Night should have been a hit.

The glowing embers inside Bucci's signature brick oven do more than just heat up food. They infuse dishes with a signature flavor and rustic warmth that can only be found in authentic Italian cuisine. Homemade accents can be found throughout Bucci's Brick Oven's menu, from the meatballs balanced atop plates of spaghetti to the cavatelli featured on Food Network's Best Thing I Ever Ate. Guests slice through the chicken prosciutto's layers of italian ham, tomatoes, and lightly breaded chicken, or warm themselves with the legendary parmesan entrees packed with veal, chicken, or eggplant and a bubbling layer of provolone cheese.
Alfonso's Restaurante's kitchen crafts special-recipe red sauce for many of its classic Italian dishes. In the sicilian casserole, it boosts the flavor of tri-colored peppers, meatballs, and sausage, and it sweetens the layers of ricotta and meatballs in the baked lasagna, much better than a paste made from red Pixy Stix. Among a generous menu of pasta, veal, and seafood entrees, other house favorites include breaded and pan-seared walleye and long bone pork chops in a tomato pozzuoli sauce.
The Corradi family opened Corradi's Master Pizza in 2010 and has since dedicated its time and talents to perfecting its specialty pizzas, calzones, wings, and other Italian-American fare. The family prepares food for dine-in, delivery, and takeout.
Award Winning Pizza & Italian fare. Extensive menu includes delicious Subs, Wings, Salads, Pasta and Appetizers. Catering Menu for large orders. Delivery - Carry-out - Catering.
Mike Santosuosso got into the restaurant game early. At age 15, he left his father?s bar business to work in a pizza shop, where he learned all the tricks of the trade and secret handshakes he needed to open up his own pie joint only a few years later. Now, Mike collaborates with his wife, Debbie, to create an authentic Italian dining experience, loading their menu with homemade ravioli, tender cutlets of veal, and fresh-from-the-grill steaks. They also whip up pizza dough from scratch every day, before layering it with fresh tomato sauce and toppings such as meatballs, artichokes, and imported romano cheese.
Eddie's Pizzeria Cerino serves fresh Italian dishes crafted with the fusion of family recipes and modern culinary experience. Owner Eddie Cerino's passion for food began in his grandmother's kitchen, where he would watch her prepare meals for friends and family. He took in the aromas and witnessed how, like receiving a paycheck delivered by puppies, her dishes would brighten guests' spirits. When forging his pizzeria's menu, Eddie combined his family's cherished recipes with techniques and flavors he discovered over the course of his career. Today, guests indulge their cravings with entrees prepared under the direction of a Cerino family member, such as gourmet pizzas topped with wild mushrooms and sausage and butternut-squash ravioli in a butter-sage sauce.
