CTS Wholesale Sunglasses is launching a new contest this summer called the Great Summer Sunglasses Contest, in support of Prevent Blindness America's national Cataract Awareness Month and UV Safety Month.
Salem, OR (PRWEB) June 11, 2012
CTS Wholesale Sunglasses believes in maintaining good eye health with the use of proper eye protection. In support of Prevent Blindness America's (preventblindness.org) national Cataract Awareness Month (June 1st - 30th) and UV Safety Month (July 1- 31st), CTS Wholesale Sunglasses is announcing a new 30-day contest.According to Prevent Blindness America’s 2008 Vision Problems in the U.S. report, 50% of all Americans will develop cataracts by age 80, and more than 22 million Americans age 40 and older already have cataracts in one stage of another. It is predicted that by 2020, 30.1 million Americans 40 plus years of age will have cataracts. One of the known causes of cataracts is exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), recent studies have shown that prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays without protection may cause serious eye conditions, such as cataracts and macular degeneration, which can lead to vision loss and even blindness.
"We really believe in proper eye protection," says Kirk Bachelder, owner of CTS Wholesale LLC, "Especially when it comes to spending extended periods of time outdoors during the summer."
Summer is a busy time for Bachelder and his employees at CTS Wholesale Sunglasses. Not only are they busy filling many of their retailers' orders, who are stocking up on supplies in anticipation of a warm and sunny summer, but they are also busy manning their own vendor booths at the many summer festivals and fairs across the country. "We know firsthand just how important a pair of sunglasses is when spending long days outside in the summer," says Bachelder.
The Great Summer Sunglasses Contest will begin on Friday, June 15th, 2012 and run until Saturday, July 14th, 2012, where one lucky winner will have the option to choose from a $100 gift certificate to CTSwholesaleSunglasses.com or a fully loaded sunglasses display rack.
To enter the contest, simply visit the blog (http://blog.ctswholesalesunglasses.com) on Friday June 15th. There is no purchase necessary and entrants may enter once every day for the full contest.

Enter the era of experience shopping - Australian Financial Review
Deirdre Macken
Data can be confusing. Just recently we’ve been bamboozled by department store sales that suggest consumers are walking around in hair shirts, and figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics that tell us the country is booming partly because of consumer spending.
What are we to make of all this? Do we trust the kings of retail when they do a body count or statisticians when they crunch numbers? Well, another way to find out what’s going on is to take a walk around suburban shopping strips and see what’s going on. So let’s take a walk.
Around our place, there are lots of empty shops with fading For Lease signs. Obviously, some shop owners have had a tough time and some landlords are yet to get the message. But look what happens when the shops are reoccupied.
Slowly, suburban shopping strips are changing from places where people buy stuff into places where people buy an experience. They are becoming service centres for modern lifestyles rather than stocking depots for households.
The sorts of retailers that have bowed out of suburban strips in the past few years include fashion boutiques, shoe shops, gift shops, linen stores, book shops, record shops, hardware centres and furniture retailers.
All these shops sold stuff. Mostly it was stuff that could be bought more cheaply online, downloaded online, picked up on overseas travels or delivered more efficiently at big centres. The sorts of retailers that have taken their place in the suburban strip are virtually all services. They service your body, your dog, your office, your hobby, your tummy and your mind.
But by far the biggest incursions into our shopping strips have been made by cafes, restaurants, small bars and fast-eating places. We groan whenever we see an espresso machine being installed in an empty shop – how many lattes can one suburb handle! But the food scene along our strip doesn’t just tell us about the switch from people buying stuff to people buying experiences, it also tells the story of the switch from fine dining to daily dining.
Many of these new eating places are casual, quick and reasonably priced. Whether they sell noodles in boxes, fabulous pies, sushi still warm from hand-rolling, bar food that’s shareable or soups that are home made and ready to go, they invite locals to dine or pick up dinner on the way home. Other new tenants along our shopping strips are all about servicing our bodies. There are the massage parlours and nail salons that provide regular grooming sessions for passing shoppers.
There are more hairdressers, including a few that also offer pop-in services and, it might just be our area but we’ve been inundated with dental clinics that are more about the beauty of your smile than the health of your teeth.
Slightly behind the main strip, there are more beauty centres, offering quasi medical services such as botox, laser resurfacing, peels and, if they have doctors on board, surgical procedures.
Along the same lines, there are more physical health centres.
These include physiotherapy places, yoga centres, gyms, sports medicine centres and community halls where you can do anything from bingo to pilates.
Speaking of maintenance, our pets haven’t been forgotten. Every suburban strip now seems to have a pet grooming shop, where pooches are groomed, washed, clipped and outfitted.
Another growth category is the business services outlet. Sure, these places sell supplies but most of them operate like a business centre, offering copying, faxing, printing, design services and advice to the home office workforce.
Some of these office shops are big chains like Officeworks, others are musty spaces where an IT geek will fix all your computer problems, but the Apple store is the most sophisticated version of the shop as a service centre. As Steve Jobs said a decade ago, the Apple shop is less about selling and more about being “the best buying experience” in town.
Next time you pop up to the shops, check out how many people are toting shopping bags. Check out how many people look fresher, fitter, prettier, well fed and more knowledgeable. Even if you can’t detect the money being spent on servicing people, you’re bound to notice how great their dogs look.
So the shopping strips are a mirror of what department stores are telling us about sales, and a measure of what statisticians are telling us about spending. We’re flashing the cash around but we’re coming home empty handed.

A teenager died and two other festival-goers were hospitalised after apparently taking 'legal high' Benzo Fury at a Scottish music festival.
Alex Heriot, 19, collapsed in the main area at the RockNess festival at Dores, on the shores of Loch Ness, on Saturday night.
Mr Heriot, of Portobello, Edinburgh, was taken to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness but died in the early hours of yesterday.
Tragic: Alex Heriot, 19, left, collapsed in the main area at the RockNess festival at Dores, on the shores of Loch Ness, on Saturday night - it is believed he may have taken the legal high Benzo Fury, right
Hours later, a 19-year-old woman, and a 20-year-old man, believed to be friends of the dead teenager, were taken to hospital.
It is thought they may also have taken the 'legal high' Benzo Fury – a chemical available on the internet that police believe may be dangerous when taken with other substances or alcohol.
The man and woman are described as being in a ‘comfortable’ condition.
On Thursday, the teenager, had written on his Twitter profile page about how much he was looking forward to the Scottish music festival
Festival: More than 30,000 people attended the weekend event and police said 144 revellers had been arrested over drug possession and one for dealing
Northern Constabulary confirmed Mr Heriot’s death is believed to be drug-related but would not say whether he had taken Benzo Fury.
Toxicology tests are being carried out to discover what substance or mixture, if any, was involved.
Benzo Fury can be bought wholesale over the internet and usually sells for 10 a pill, or 25 for three.
Mr Heriot's father told the Daily Record: 'We are still talking to the police liaison people and we are not sure of the full circumstances of what has happened.
'We are still struggling to take it in.'
Friends: Hours later, a 19-year-old woman and 20-year-old man, believed to be friends of the dead teenager, were taken to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness
WHAT IS 'LEGAL HIGH 'BENZO FURY?
‘Legal highs’ are substances which produce the same, or similar effects, to drugs such as cocaine and ecstasy, but are not controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act.
There are a large number of 'legal highs' - some are known by their brand/product name, such as Benzo Fury and it's not always clear what's in these products and their contents can change regularly.
Benzo Fury is a man-made amphetamine which can give users a euphoric high.
It induces feelings of empathy similar to Class A drug ecstasy.
Benzo Fury is also a stimulant and it's side effects include loss of appetite, hallucinations and paranoia.
Controversial 'legal highs' such as Benzo Fury and Ivory Wave are manufactured in laboratories in the Far East and eastern Europe.
They have become a popular alternative to illegal ecstasy and Meow Meow.
On Thursday, the teenager, who was studying at Jewel and Esk College in Dalkeith, Midlothian, had written on his Twitter webpage about how much he was looking forward to the festival, headlined by acts including Mumford & Sons.
He wrote: ‘To say I am excited for RockNess 2012 is an absolute understatement.’
More than 30,000 people attended the weekend event and police said 144 revellers had been arrested over drug possession and one for dealing.
Legal highs defeat sniffer dogs which are not trained to detect legal substances and so far no other Benzo Fury has been found.
Police and organisers minimised the risk of controlled drugs at the festival through measures, including searches and the use of drugs dogs as well as amnesty bins.
Event commander, Superintendent Stevie Mackay, said: 'Taking drugs or any medicines, which you have not been prescribed, is an extremely risky thing to do.
'People may think that legal highs are safe, because they are not classed as a controlled drug, but they are extremely dangerous.
'If anyone has the tablets described or any other drug, whether controlled or a 'legal high', in their possession, they are advised not to take them and to hand these in.
'Amnesty bins are available at the main Nesstival entrance or anyone can hand in substances to Crew 2000 at the welfare tent.'
‘Legal highs’ are substances which produce the same, or similar effects, to drugs such as cocaine and ecstasy, but are not controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act.

Legal high deaths: Hester Stewart's body, left, was found next to a bottle of GBL in a house in Brighton after a party while Lois Waters, right 24, is believed to have taken party drug mephedrone - known as meow meow - in the lead up to her death
In recent years there have been several highly publicised cases of young people dying after taking drugs which were legal highs.
Hester Stewart's body, 21, was found next to a bottle of GBL in a house in Brighton after a party in 2009, while Lois Waters, 24, is believed to have taken party drug mephedrone - known as meow meow - in the lead up to her death in 2009.
Both substances are now banned, but health professionals and police fear each time a drug is outlawed, a new alternative is introduced on to the market.

It is also a stimulant and its side effects include loss of appetite, hallucinations and paranoia.

Regulate the stuff to PROTECT your citizens from dangerous chemicals that unregulated drugs are cut with, from dangerous designer drugs and from drug trafficking crime.
