Directional Drilling Industry Provides Humanitarian Relief Bound for Haiti

Over One hundred shooting enthusiasts competed at a sporting clays event hosted by the International Association of Directional Drilling (IADD) at the Shooting Emporium in Conroe Texas. A total of 21 teams of 5 shooters moved through the 10 station course. Jim Oberkircher, Executive Director of IADD describes a sporting clays women's jackets event as, "…a competition resembling a golf tournament scramble and skeet shoot. My personal favorite station includes a clay that bounced off the ground passing from right to left with a second clay that flies away from the left to right." The event raised money to benefit homeless people in Haiti.

Oberkircher presented a check to Brent Justus, President and Founder of Life's Hope, Incorporated. Life's Hope is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness of human suffering around the world and delivering relief supplies and solutions. Justus made a brief presentation after being presented with the check and said, "…there are billions of people on the planet that do not have an adequate source of safe drinking water. Today's donation will be used to install a water treatment system at a camp in Haiti that shelters 40,000 homeless people. Reports from the camp leaders indicate that 150-200 people are dying each month from water borne diseases. Life's Hope has installed 9 systems in Haiti since the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti in January 2010. Haiti is the poorest nation in the western hemisphere and is struggling to recover." Justus pointed to a water treatment system on display as he extended an open invitation to go with him to install the unit. He mentioned that albums on each table were filled with images of a trip that he made in July 2010 with two physicians. The doctors treated hundreds of women and children while he supervised the installation of water treatment systems and performed maintenance on previously installed units. Edward Dew, IADD board member said, "…the competition is a lot of fun and knowing that the proceeds relieve human suffering makes it better." Justus explained in an interview after the event that Life's Hope has developed a plan to provide a permanent solution to the drinking water shortage in Haiti.

Littlewoods Europe Launches New Size Guides

Littlewoods Europe, part of the Shop Direct group, recently announced the launch of a market-leading new range of sizing guides on their website to enable customers to choose their correct size when buying clothing.

Separate size guides have been created for women, men and children and provide detailed comparisons between UK and European sizes as well as advice on different fits of clothing. Each of the guides include helpful images and video content.

The new range of sizing guides aim to address the concerns raised by these studies and help shoppers choose clothes that feel comfortable and look great.

A spokesperson for Littlewoods Europe said, "We believe our new size guides will assist customers in choosing the right size clothing, Clothes look and feel much better when we are wearing the correct size and can make you look instantly slimmer."

As well as the size guides, Littlewoods Europe's product pages now also feature user reviews that allow customers to share useful advice and information to help others chose the right size and fit of clothes when buying online.

Vicarious by Nature Debuts Fall '11 Collection Led by New Design Director Kirk Von Heifner

Viridian Design Group, LLC unveils its Kirk Von Heifner led fall '11 collection for Vicarious by Nature (VBN), the company's flagship eco-conscious clothing brand. Von Heifner, who took the reigns as VBN's Design Director in October, brings his fresh design vision to the pioneering eco California brand after a four year run in New York with the John Varvatos design team. His broad range of expertise also serves to expand VBN's offering as New York based Archetype Showroom plans to dramatically expand the line's retail presence in doors like Neiman-Marcus where VBN is currently featured in select markets.

Inspired by the film "East of Eden" and the de-saturated, tonal colors of 50s era photographs and color films, the VBN Fall '11 Silhouettes range from exaggerated shapes to slightly cropped and boxy with refined fits to follow the vintage inspiration. Details and lines simulate those found on classic Americana work wear with raw edge cuts, utilitarian paneling, repair stitching, and reinforced pockets/seaming. In keeping with VBN's strong eco commitment, organic fabrics and sustainable processes are the mantra for the artisan vision of antiqued prints, over dyed seerstripe wovens, plated mélange jerseys, soft modals, structured pontes, slub cotton knits, washed flannels/corduroys, and distressed heavy canvases.

"I've been a longtime admirer of the VBN brand and its progressive position towards making every aspect of its business environmentally sustainable – all the while putting out fresh yet novel clothing that rocks in the mainstream market," said Von Heifner. "Our fall '11 season is an inspired stepping-stone towards a refined aesthetic as the collection grows."

With his move back to the west coast, Von Heifner will dramatically expand the VBN design team's range with his clean, high end, contemporary fashion sensibilities. He also brings to VBN a renewed commitment to relieve the environment of the severe stresses placed upon it by the apparel industry. Using the company as a sustainability incubator, VBN's team hopes to make the brand a fashion standout as well as an important contributor in the pioneering of sustainable practices and industry-wide green standards.

"Kirk has been a long time friend of all of us here at VBN, so we already know him well and truly appreciate his commitment to our vision," said Dan Gobbelet, President and CEO of Viridian Design Group. "Kirk hit the ground running this fall, and we look forward to his guidance as we challenge ourselves to balance sustainability with these inspired fall designs and ultimately the demands of an ever growing eco fashion market. It's an exciting time to be charging ahead in this burgeoning corner of the business with Kirk at the helm of our design team."

The Vicarious By Nature 2011 fall collection will be available on February 1st, 2011, and will be showing at Project in Las Vegas - booth 10141. Sales related inquiries please contact Archetype Showroom for appointments, look book and linesheet at 212-529-1407. Press inquiries please contact Lee Everett at LaunchPad PR 310-397-4321.

"The great thing about inStash are the short reviews that get straight to the point.

The site has basically become my ultimate wish-list." said Pierre Ramirez.

Thousands are already following inStash updates through Facebook, Twitter, RSS, and email.

The site's design is described by one reader as "clean and sleek" with one clear purpose, "to keep men wanting more."

Bacchetta says that the online magazine is only the beginning. Forums, exclusive deals, and videos are on the horizon. He eventually plans to take the brand offline as well, foreseeing an annual publication and even a brick and mortar store.

Plastic Surgery Practice in New York Now Offering CoolSculpting® by ZELTIQ?

Cosmetic Surgery Associates of New York (http://www.nycosmeticmd.com/), a team of five specialists providing plastic surgery in New York as well as non-surgical treatments, recently added a new service to their extensive menu: CoolSculpting? by ZELTIQ?. This innovative technology is a non-surgical fat reduction method that works by cooling the targeted fat cells to the freezing point. The practice is excited to be offering additional body contouring options to their patients who are looking for ways to refine and contour their physique.

Dr. Joshua A. Greenwald states, "CoolSculpting is a non-surgical approach to body contouring, and in some cases, may be an alternative to liposuction in Westchester. This procedure is innovative in that it uses a cooling technique to get the fat sufficiently cold. Once the fat cells have reached the cooling point, they are excreted by the body's natural cleansing process, leaving patients with noticeably smoother contours."

CoolSculpting patients can see a fat reduction of about 20 to 25% in the targeted area, making the treatment effective. While liposuction can help to permanently remove relatively large pockets of excess fat, CoolSculpting does not require any anesthesia or incisions, making it an option for those who are either not candidates for liposuction or do not want that surgical procedure.

Dr. Samuel J. Beran enjoys using CoolSculpting on his patients, stating, "This is one of my favorite non-surgical procedures available today because of the beautiful results it can help my patients achieve. While two treatments are often necessary for substantial fat reduction, the treatment is not a substitute for living an active lifestyle and eating healthy. "

Dr. Christian I. Guzman agrees, noting, "It is important to know that while CoolSculpting can provide a substantial reduction of fat in the selected area, the treatment should not be regarded as a technique for weight loss."

Clarifying the benefits of CoolSculpting, Dr. Robert W. Bernard adds, "Rather than using CoolSculpting for weight loss, I like to think of it in terms of 'inch loss.' A patient's actual weight may not decrease significantly, but the contouring benefits of CoolSculpting do occur. Patients often tell me that their clothes fit better and they love their slimmed-down appearance."

While fat reduction is a specialty of some of the surgeons at Cosmetic Surgery Associates of New York, they also offer other body contouring, facial surgery, and breast enhancement such as breast augmentation. Westchester, Harrison, and Manhattan area women and men frequently turn to the surgeons for their cosmetic needs.

The Cosmetic Surgery Associates of New York, comprised of a group of five board-certified plastic surgeons, women's jackets online offer a wide range of plastic surgery procedures as well as non-surgical treatments. With degrees from Albany Medical College, Ponce School of Medicine, Emory University, University of Vermont College of Medicine, and Georgetown University School of Medicine, these surgeons have had years of training and education. The practice also has two past Presidents for the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. They specialize in breast procedures such as breast augmentation, body contouring such as tummy tuck, and facial rejuvenation.

Baby Riddl women's coats e then packages the box with all the desired newborn clothing that is gender specific. The gift box is shipped three weeks prior to the due date. When the baby is born and the gender is revealed, the mom opens up the gift box to find all her baby's essentials.

"When my husband and I decided to not find out the gender of our baby I knew a lot of greens and yellows were in our immediate forecast. "Baby Riddle" allowed for me to enjoy the excitement of not finding out the gender without the stress of having to worry about getting appropriate clothing immediately after birth. Knowing that cute, unique, high quality, gender specific clothing would arrive for my baby to show off in after delivery made the anticipation and excitement that much better!"    A.M.

The company was founded to keep the tradition and excitement of keeping the baby's sex a surprise and have colorful gender-specific clothes too.

Baby Riddle was founded by a Registered Nurse and Entrepreneur. The nationwide online company is based in the United States. Baby Riddle's solution to keeping the baby's gender a surprise: Have an unbiased third party send the gender specific clothes to you before the baby arrives.

Tamatha Grabin, Managing Partner of Baby Riddle and a Registered Nurse, is featured in Scrubs Magazine as a Registered Nurse who sports two careers that she loves. The article focuses on nurses who tap into their entrepreneurial side. Grabin tapped into a new service for pregnant women who are keeping their baby's gender a surprise.

At a family gathering Grabin and her pregnant sister were discussing the roadblock to keeping the baby's gender a surprise: Pregnant mothers miss out on shopping for the cute little colorful baby clothes. There is no way around avoiding the boring neutral baby clothes.

When Grabin was pregnant with her second child she decided to keep her baby's gender a surprise for the delivery room (a girl!). Grabin says, "I was in the same boat as my sister, I loved the suspense of waiting to hear but disliked picking out all the ugly green and yellow clothes before she was born."

Grabin had spoken to many women who would like to keep the sex of the baby a surprise but disliked the idea of having to buy neutral baby clothes. A light bulb came o fashion jackets n and she realized that she could offer women a way to shop and keep their secret safe. Pregnant moms could have their ultrasound results sent to Grabin, and on their due dates she would send a box of adorable gender-specific baby clothes based on the styles they had pre-selected. BabyRiddle.com was born.

Grabin's website is packed with high quality clothes at mid-level prices. Moms can shop and pick out cute clothes for their newborns. "When her baby is born the mom is completely surprised and completely prepared. She doesn't have to go out shopping and expose her baby to germs, she can stay home and cuddle up with her newborn," says Grabin who even offers a take-me-home outfit that arrives wrapped and laundered ready to tuck into the hospital bag.

Connecting with people in this exciting time has been a highlight for Grabin. She feels a great satisfaction in her dual career as a nurse and entrepreneur. "When I read all the gift notes and I am able to package up these cute little outfits for a new life, it brings me real happiness. I could not be in a better, more celebrated business," says Grabin.
