Wear Something Gaudy Day When : Always October 17th Wear Something Gaudy Day is your chance to really stick out in a crowd. The word "gaudy" refers to something bright, gay, cheap, showy, outlandish, or otherwise not in good taste. Have a little fun on this day. For just one day, forego fashion and style. Look for something to wear that's really wild and wacky, and will stick out like a sore thumb wherever you go. If you don't have anything like this in your wardrobe, perhaps a friend does. Note: If you're always garbed in gaudy attire, this is your day to look like everyone else!

Happy Columbus Day!   For decades and decades, American history books and school teaching ,told us that Christopher Columbus discovered America. What those books and teachings did not give credit to was the fact that Native Americans were already here first and truly discovered America. It also gave little mention to the fact that Nordic explorers had travelled down the eastern cost of Canada thousands of years earlier.   Today, we celebrate Columbus day for what it accurately is. Columbus did discover the existence of the New World for Europeans who until then, believed the world was flat and ended somewhere in the Atlantic. And, the focus is more upon discovery of the "New World", and less upon Columbus himself.  Some key facts (in case you forgot them since grade school): Columbus Discovered America in 1492. He originally set sail on August 3, 1492, but had trouble with the ships, stopping at the Canary Islands for a month. The ships left the Canary Islan

Only Los Angeles and Houston brought on more workers than Phoenix, with the addition of 8,600 and 6,900 jobs, respectively, during the same time frame.While such numbers are encouraging for the Valley’s construction industry, the area still has a long way to go, association officials said in the report. Arizona has lost a total 244,300 construction jo
