Vero Beach FLASH, LLC
It's hard to believe that this will be the last weekend in April. High school students are looking forward to proms and graduations, and soon many of our subscribers will be heading North for the summer months. I sometimes wonder if those summer escapees know what they're missing by not being here in the summer when our community slows down a little. As it slows, so will our community calendar allowing many individuals and organizations a chance to catch their breath from a very active 'season!' I do love the summer months when everyone seems to enjoy those "lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer". Just like the song lyrics say, "with picnics and days at the beach always cooled by our ocean breezes". If you have any tips about something you especially enjoy doing here in the summer or a favorite cook-out recipe you'd like to share, you can post it on our Community Bulletin Board. Just CLICK HERE.
To keep up with what is going on, make sure you pick up a copy of our printed calendar for MAY that will be distributed next week. Some of our distribution points are below. Please send me an email requesting calendars if you would like to serve as a distribution point or if you would like to distribute them to your organization. We print 5,000, but they go faster each month as word is spreading that our wonderful calendar exists! I encourage you all to get out and enjoy the wonderful things that this community has to offer! ENJOY LIFE FLASHERS!! :)

ARE YOUR PEARLY WHITES NOT SO WHITE?
They will be soon with this week's FLASH Deal.
This week's FLASH Deal is a unique treat brought to you by Vero Dental Spa as a part of their grand opening promotion. The beloved Dr. Harold Brooks has recently returned to Vero and has reopened his practice. That has brought a smile to many faces, and we want those smiles to be a little whiter. Research has proven that whiter teeth impact a person's psyche and can boost confidence, helping an individual both professionally and socially. What incredible benefits for only $150.
The In-Office Bleaching session is step one of a two-step process, which includes a take-home bleaching product so you can continue the whitening process at home. Yellowing teeth didn't happen overnight, so they won't go away overnight, but this program will jump-start the process! This treatment works far better than the over-the-counter products and is quick, easy and safe.
IMPORTANT NOTE! For maximum results, teeth should be clean and free of tartar build up. It is recommended that bleachings be done within six months of having a regular dental cleaning. If you have not had a cleaning within the last six months you can select the option with the cleaning and you will receive both the whitening and the cleaning at a 50% discount.

WHICH HAT WILL YOU WEAR?
CELEBRATE SATURDAY, MAY 5th!
The KENTUCKY DERBY or CINCO DE MAYO, either one is a good excuse to get together with friends. Known as the "fastest two minutes in sports," coverage of the Derby will be on NBC from 5-7 p.m. a week from this Saturday. It now even has its own 'Red Carpet' Special beginning at 4:00. Cinco De Mayo celebrates Mexican heritage with food and music, but seems to have developed into a celebration of Latin culture for everyone. We think it might be fun to combine the two events. Invite friends over to watch the Derby and serve easy Mexican food. Need suggestions?...Nachos & Cheese. Fritos, with Guacamole, Salsa and Bean dip you can buy already prepared. Make-your-own Tacos with all the trimmings, or try our easy Fish Taco recipe below. For more Derby ideas and to check out the horses, Click Here

 HEALTH TIP
DIET AND TYPE OF EXERCISE
We all know if you don't exercise, you place the entire burden of weight loss on your diet. If you become more active, you can eat more of the things you like -- and still lose weight. The key is finding an exercise you enjoy. If the treadmill seems tedious, try swimming, ballet, biking, even ping-pong, - all of which actually burn more calories than walking! Spend time at different activities until you find one you want to do on most days. We've run some great fitness FLASH deals that allow you to try different things at half price. We just ran one on pilates classes and will be offering one on tennis clinics soon. If there's one you would like to see us offer....just send us an email and we will be happy to see if we can secure the deal! :)

NOW SHOWING!
"Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight!" Broadway's greatest farce is light fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written. Comedy reigns supreme when a thoroughly disarming slave named Pseudolus schemes to gain his freedom by helping his master's son get the girl he desires. With music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by Burt Shevelove and Larry Gelbart, this hilarious slapstick farce is filled with outrageous puns and gags that will keep you laughing all the way home!

LEARN TO KNIT FROM MARTHA STEWART
 This picture of Cary Grant is from a movie, but in centuries past it was the men who knitted, not the women. Today, more and more men are "coming out" as knitters. Former football great Rosey Grier advocated both knitting and needlework, and even published a book about needlepoint for men. (Rosey, who was known as "the gentle giant," was the man who tackled Bobby Kennedy's assassin and wrestled the gun from him.) As for the women, Julia Roberts is one of many stars found knitting on the set between takes and she has taught Cameron Diaz to knit. Other knitting celebs include Goldie Hawn, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Brooke Shields and even Madonna. If you would like to learn this relaxing hobby, start with this simple slide show from Martha and follow the arrows Click Here Once you get the hang of it you might want to join up with the prayerful knitting group at the Center for Spiritual Care where they meet on Wednesday from 3:30 - 5:00. For more information call (772) 567-1233.

NEED TO BUY A GREAT GIFT?
 We don't hear as much about U.S. Savings Bonds as we used to, but they make great graduation or birthday gifts. They're also appreciated by new parents and actually are good for almost any gift occaison. They are still around, but now paper savings bonds are no longer sold at financial institutions. However, you can buy and cash digital savings bonds online directly from our government at Treasury Direct, a secure web-based system operated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. If you want to buy them as a gift, there is a place on the sidebar of the website where you can click to print a gift certificate. To order, or just to learn more, Click Here.
NOTE: If you own older savings bonds, make sure you check the maturity date. Once the bonds mature, they are no longer earning interest. You still can cash paper savings bonds at many financial institutions |

 SHE'S
'MOST BEAUTIFUL' ACCORDING TO ANCIENT GREEKS Lorraine Cosmetics of the UK did a search to find the "Most Beautiful Face" in all of Great Britain who had not had any plastic surgery and was pictured without makeup. The winner by public vote was 18 year old Florence Colgate. The competition was judged on a ratio formula for beauty devised by the ancient Greeks that said that the distance from the eyes to the mouth should be one third of the face. On Colgate the distance is a near-perfect 32.8 percent. See if you agree in this clip from GOOD MORNING AMERICA. To view the video, Click Here

LONGEVITY CALCULATOR How long will you live? This calculator estimates your life expectancy. It was developed by Northwestern Mutual Life. It's interesting that there are only 13 questions, yet, (presumably) it can predict how long you're likely to live. It's kind of fun to watch your age go up and down as you answer the questions, but we don't guarantee it's accuracy! Watch your age in the upper right corner. Click Here

"TWENTY THINGS I LEARNED ABOUT BROWSERS AND THE WEB"
The above is the title of a charming online book from GOOGLE. We know many of you know all about computers and even work with them everyday, but if you're a novice or pretty much limit your use to e-mails and simple searches, this site will help. It explains abbreviations you encounter, what 'cloud computing' is, and much more in very simple terms. You will probably want to bookmark it or even take notes for future reference. It's relatively short, but too long for one reading, so we suggest you read a few pages at a time. To turn the pages, click the small arrow to the right of the page. To start, Click Here.
