Are Green Burials the way of the future? We're all going to die, and we all hope to leave a positive impact on the planet and our loved ones when we do. With impact in mind, many consumers are looking at alternative burials as a means of reducing emissions, chemicals, and energy use after the end of life. Low-cost, minimalist services and natural burials that allow the body to decompose naturally are trending, and consumers are contemplating a range of new and emerging burial options, including “liquid cremation”, freeze-drying, or growing into a tree from an organic “burial pod”. What are the benefits and the drawbacks of alternative burials? Are they really green? How widespread are they, and how legal? Is our discomfort with alternative options simply a discomfort with the fact that we, too, will one day die?

"Sudbury Gets Hypnotized" The Return of Fernandez, America's Premiere Hypno-Comedy Show Ok, we'll admit. We were a bit skeptical at first, but after witnessing Fernandez hypnotize some audience members, our own bartender and our good friend Joel Mackey from the Sudbury Youth Rocks Program, we HAD to bring Fernandez back for another show! This is some seriously funny stuff folks, and the best thing about it is... "YOU and your friends can be the Stars of the show!" Want to see your best friend get up on stage in front of total strangers and act like a flamingo while barking like a cat that just inhaled a helium balloon? Or perhaps you'd like to see your Dad or brother hump their own sneaker, then forget that they even have legs to walk with and use their sneaker to call 911 for help?

No other performer has captured the intrigue and electricity of this discipline, and it’s doubtful that anyone ever will. Born in Havana, Cuba, Fernandez learned his skills from his father, himself a recognized professional stage hypnotist. Fernandez’s first stage appearance was as his fathers assistant at the age of 4. It wasn’t until his teens that Fernandez devoted himself to these mysterious realms. With the aid...
