"He would sit in his home at this huge picture window and watch the deer. And one of his wishes was to go deer hunting," recalled Error. So Mike Error and his close friend, the teenager's uncle, decided to take the youth hunting. After struggling to get the teenager and his wheelchair to a suitable hunting site, they quickly discovered the youth had too little strength in his arms to hold a rifle. "They tried several methods and none of them worked," Renee Error explained. "And that's what got us thinking." A search of the Internet revealed lots of small businesses, and some not so small, manufacturing adaptive gear - some of it better than others. But one thing missing altogether, she said, was a place to go "one-stop shopping." "After talking and thinking about this, we decided that this was a business perfect for us." It fit well with her husband's love of hunting and fishing, and the outdoors, she said. And for her, a stay-at-home Mom for many years, and an avid school and community volunteer, it was an ideal way of helping others. The couple did a trial launch of their Web site to test the waters and the results were gratifying for them, as well as for those who bought products from them. Renee Error has heard from people as far away as Georgia and Texas, including a right-arm amputee who gave up fishing until he learned of the Web site and purchased an adaptive harness that allows him to fish again. Many of their customers, Error said, had abandoned fishing or hunting because of their disability. They either had no idea that adaptive equipment was available or they didn't know where to look, she said. AdaptiveOutdoorsman.com features dozens of pieces of adaptive gear and Renee Error said she and her husband are constantly searching for more equipment to place on their site. In addition to helping outdoor enthusiasts with disabilities, she said she believes the Web site may help small manufacturers with great products. Unfortunately, some of those manufacturers close shop after a year or so because they don't know how to market themselves.

Mid-tone hues of fern, palm, pine and sage will be used on their own or coupled with clear blue or aqua to create a living space that conjures up a sense of outdoor-friendly living. Sandy tan and adobe brown can be intermingled to complete that earthy and eco-friendly feel. While suitable for all areas of the home, these combinations are an especially good choice for bathrooms, kitchens and family living spaces. “Sophisticated Elegance” Gaining popularity in 2008, black and white paint hues will enhance opulent living spaces filled with accessories, lighting, mirrors and rich fabrics. Silver metallics and high sheen finishes along with rich textures benefit from the sophistication of this striking palette. Zimmer suggests, “For an unexpected color punch, add cause related hues such as dramatic red or maintain the room’s classic undertones with subtle pink or taupe.” Dramatic and sophisticated, black and white is becoming the backdrop of choice for glamorous spaces. Master bedroom suites and living rooms are two of the spaces that can benefit from sophisticated elegance. “Crewel Colors” Many consumers continue to strive for simplicity in their technology-driven overloaded lifestyles and seek a return to a gentler way of life. The crewel color palette reflects consumers returning interest in crafts, home cooking and family focused activities. Like a rich and color filled needlepoint pattern, these hues add a soulful and personalized feel to any space. “Handcrafted items create a sense of stability and security and these warm, creamy rich colors will do the same in your space,” says Zimmer. Rich cranberry reds, warm browns, along with pumpkin orange help to create a nurturing and caring environment. Mix in deep-toned blue and the tapestry is complete. Crewel colors remain an excellent choice for kitchen or dining areas and can be warming, like a knitted afghan, in family spaces. “No matter which paint hue or palette attracts your individual attention, consumers continue to have an increased appreciation for paint quality and value. After all it’s a personal choice for a personal space—your home,” Zimmer says.

This CAD design not only moves the center of gravity further back toward the rear skirt of the clubhead but lower as well. By precisely positioning discretionary weight in the outer corners of the clubhead, the Mantara XL Driver produces one of the highest moment of inertia drivers on the market. This maximum resistance to twisting yields extremely long and forgiving drives. The easy to align aerodynamic profile is constructed from a 6-4 titanium face and a thin, lightweight titanium crown, skirt and soleplate. "I've never seen a Driver so broad from face-to-back! It is one of the most radical designs Hireko has ever created. I have true confidence at address and I absolutely crushed the longest drive of my life at the local muni," said Hireko Marketing Manager Rob Altomonte.

Manufacturer McClure Tables introduces a new program to help retailers sell their tables in brick and mortal stores. [PRWeb Jun 18, 2007] http://www.prweb.com/releases/shuffleboard_tables/game_rooms/prweb533789.htm Fri, 15 Jun 2007 16:59:19 -0700 podcrew@extrahoop.com shuffleboard tables and game room supplies and service in south and central Texas retail markets, owner Todd McClure is now focused on helping other retail distributors succeed. Because of his past background in retail, McClure Tables will not sell their tables to online retail dealers. In fact, McClure has formulated distributor policies and strategies to discourage retail dealers from marketing online or outside a local geographic territory. A shuffleboard table is a large purchase for any game room and requires expert local service and installation. Internet retail dealers can provide installation service, but not on the same level as a local store. Generally Internet outlets use contract installers. If buyers have any problems, they cannot draw on a local dealer for customer support. Therefore, McClure has ensured his tables will only be sold through select retail dealers with local showrooms and local customer support. Because of streamlined systems for raw material procurement, manufacturing processes and distribution, McClure Tables give retail dealers a high quality product they can sell at a very competitive price, either equal to or lower than Internet outlets for a comparable model . McClure tables use a Hard Rock Maple wood for the playing surface, which is 25% harder than the soft maple the leading competitor uses. They also have a special polymer finish and offer a lifetime warranty on the playfield surface. This polymer shuffleboard finish never needs to be refinished. This will save a consumer money in the long term. When a traditional board without a lifetime polymer finish needs a new top finish, this can often cost more than the complete unit when bought new. "We have written a buying guide and it's the only one of its kind on the Internet. This guide was written to try to help the consumer make an educated decision when looking at shuffleboards," Todd McClure said. View it online at www.mccluretables.com/boardfacts.html. "Consumers have to be careful and not always believe what an online store may say about the product," said McClure. "We have found many sites who claim the playfield is made of solid maple, yet when you check out the manufacturer's site of the brand they are promoting, you will often find the manufacturer only claims the surface is hard wood." McClure tables started with retail roots by Todd and Judy McClure who for over 30 years operated retail stores in the billiard and game room industry. They formed this company to provide the highest quality shuffleboards available in our industry. "We have over 30 years experience in the sales, installation and service of shuffleboard tables and game room products," Todd McClure said. "We have also worked extensively with manufacturers to design products and improve production techniques." Together with the management at the factory, they have over 50 years experience in the industry. They leave nothing to chance and control every aspect of the production.

Hydro Industries, manufacturers of the award winning ReelSmart™ hose reel, introduces a variety of new models as part of the new No-Crank™ collection.

The Hydro-Pro system is a patented water-piston engine that utilizes the water pressure in the garden hose to turn the reel and automatically rewind the hose at a push of a lever. The hose reel requires no batteries and does not use any electricity, yet allows for hands-free rewinding which eliminates the tedious and often difficult manual cranking associated with other hose reels. The hose reels in the new No-Crank™ collection are available as stationary, swivel or cart models to accommodate the individual needs of each homeowner. The No-Crank™ line is packed with convenient features like hose cleaner, storage compartments and spray nozzle holders making them ideal for any household. Some NO-CRANK hose reel models equipped with a 360° swivel base provide the user with a greater range of motion allowing the user to easily pull the hose in any direction. The cart hose reels coast along on a set of heavy duty wheels that allow the user to easily move the unit to a different spigot without straining to lift the hose reel, while the stationary models provide an easy-to-use organized method for garden hose storage and are equipped with a handle for easy mobility when needed. Along with the convenience of a water powered engine to rewind the garden hose, the No-Crank™ collection also incorporates features such as storage compartments for small tools or gloves, a handy flip-down spray nozzle holder and a self cleaning hose reel feature that redirects the drainage water through a built in sprayer to rinse dirt and grass from the hose during the rewind process. "With a variety of mobility options, such as the swivel, and cart models, and other new innovative features throughout our No-Crank line, the collection is now more diverse than ever before," said Ken Bevillard, VP of North America business for Hydro-Industries. "This diversity has created a versatile product line that not only appeals to the garden enthusiast, but to a wide variety of lifestyles." The No-Crank™ collection is constructed of a durable, weather-resistant plastic casing that looks stylish and creates the ideal hose storage solution for any homeowner. Easy To Use - hands free rewinding Using the No-Crank™ hose reel is simple and effortless. After the user is done with the hose, a simple push of a lever on the side of the reel activates the rewinding process. The lever engages the patented water powered engine, which can only be found in Hydro Industries' products. The engine is powered by the active water pressure entering the unit from the spigot and, in a short period of time, the hose rewinds automatically and smoothly.

Company Founder Gary Tashjian says that customers have been calling daily and sending emails to express gratitude that they are free from the worries that many pet owners are suffering in light of the national pet food recall. Tashjian's mission is to offer convenient, affordable real food for pets. This is good news for those who seek healthy alternatives right now as the national pet food recall creates continued consumer unrest and concern. One of the things that sets Darwin's apart is the convenience of home delivery. Given today's busy lifestyles, home delivery offers a meaningful benefit. In addition, since Darwin's is delivered direct to consumers from the manufacturer, the prices tend to be significantly lower than similar products sold in stores. Tashjian says that pet owners who are considering making food for their pets need to be aware of the potential drawbacks of home-cooked meals: - A poorly formulated diet may do more harm than good to the pet. Pet owners need to research their recipes to assure that they are complete and balanced. - It takes a large commitment of time and effort to shop and prepare a pet's meals yourself. Most pet owners quickly tire of the task. Tashjian says, "For those who are worried about commercial food and not ready to make the leap to making their pets' meals themselves, we offer a great alternative." Tashjian says that many of his customers used to make their own pets' meals, yet they now find it more convenient and affordable to purchase Darwin's products instead. He says that Darwin's typical customers care about quality and are comfortable paying a bit more to get it. They understand the connection between what you eat and your health. They will pay more of their disposable income to have quality food. They really appreciate the convenience, as well. They just put the food in the fridge, defrost, and put it in a bowl. "You are what you eat -and it's as true for our pets as it is for us," Tashjian says," adding, "Yet we've become a 'fast-food nation' of pet owners, feeding our pets food that is designed more for our convenience than their nutrition. Our dogs have the exact same digestive systems and nutritional needs as their wolf ancestors. And, like their ancestors, our pets thrive on food in its natural state - real meat and vegetables, not processed meals, grains and cereals." The company offers free home delivery from Everett to Tacoma. "We ship anywhere in the lower 48 states and have shipped to Alaska on occasion. The majority of business comes from the Puget Sound region," Tashjian says. Growth has been fueled by word of mouth and referrals from satisfied customers. That growth has increased recently as a result of the increased concerns associated with the nationwide pet food recall.

In the top right hand corner of every web page is the 'GoNuts' multiplier, ranging from 1X to 10X, such that points can be worth 1 to 10 times their value. Dan Zerbs, SportsNutShop's General Manager, points out that this concept does two very important things. "We reward our customers for purchases and we give them a reason to stay engaged with the site, checking multipliers regularly. They can use these points at any time to save money on MLB, NFL, College, NBA, NHL and NASCAR merchandise. We also notify our registered customers when the GoNuts multiplier increases…so they will know the best day to use their points!" After opening its warehouse in Greensboro last November, SportsNutShop.com expects to have over 30,000 products available by the end of the summer for NASCAR, NFL, NCAA, MLB, NBA and NHL fans. Customers who sign up for the program by the end of April will receive 200 'GoNuts' points just for registering, worth $2 to $20 toward future purchases, depending on the multiplier. In addition, customers receive one point for each dollar they spend. "We have really worked hard to create a good shopping experience for our online customers," says Dirks. "With so much competition out there, we want customers to come back for the right reasons…good service and fair prices. Plus we believe this program will help customers save even more during the holiday shopping season later this year."

Do you think it's fair To give poor apes a scare I think it's a mean thing to do. Of course people should know that any limericks included in this news release are only given as examples," Stancliffe emphasized "They're automatically ineligible for the contest because all entries must be new, original and previously unpublished and unposted." Another thing that could make some limericks ineligible for this contest is inappropriate content. "A problem common to many limerick sites is that they post some limericks that are not appropriate for children, or for adults who don't want to trash their minds with sleaze," Says Stancliffe. "The best limericks are clean and family-friendly, so we're insisting on high standards for this contest." says Stancliffe "All limericks entered must be appropriate for children. No sex, profanity or other inappropriate material will be considered for winning entries." Limericks are often humorous. In fact, for many people, limericks are supposed to be funny. This should add to the fun of the contest. Does a limerick have to be funny to be considered for a prize? "No," said Stancliffe. There are many ways that a limerick can be interesting without being overtly funny." One example is a mathematical limerick (really a double-limerick), by P. Chernoff, that is very interesting because of way that he talks about the recent proof of Fermat's equation. Fermat solved a problem with ease, That most of us find quite a tease. His margin so small, Left no room at all, For a proof as concise as you please. A challenge for many long ages Had baffled the savants and sages. Yet at last came the light: Seems old Fermat was right-- To the margin add 200 pages. Definitely 'adult material,' but also family-friendly. But normally serious subjects can still be made humorous, like this mathematical example that any 7th grader would appreciate, by Harvey L. Carter: 'Tis a favorite project of mine A new value of pi to assign. I would fix it at 3 For it's simpler, you see, Than 3 point 1 4 1 5 9. So, are you ready to enter, or encourage your kids enter?

The new site makes it easier for customers to find what they want, and features products unavailable elsewhere. Founded in 1998, Draganfly Innovations started as a mail order business specializing in radio control flying machines. Initially selling basic radio control airplanes and blimps, Draganfly began to design and develop their own aircraft. Draganfly Innovations currently has a staff consisting of 22 full and part time employees, from various backgrounds such as hobby enthusiasts, engineers, designers, combat robotics participants, and customer service specialists.

Frankel's taut, unsparing verses bring these characters to life amid a host of paradoxes.

In addition to being fun and entertaining, "Puppetics™" provide a springboard into dialogue and discourse. "Its time for political action figures to move beyond their dummy personas and get a little perspective," said Farzam Farrokhi, founder of Mulberry Pi (Mullpi). "This set is to be the first of many following a concept of what we believe is a natural mixture of entertainment and content." Mullpi (www.mulberrypi.com) believes that entertainment can and should be a neutral and effective medium for exchange of information and ideas relating to social, cultural and political issues. With that goal in mind, Mullpi intends to conceive, design and develop fun and entertaining products that add to the public discourse. "At a time of deep divisions in ideology and interests between nations, it seems facts, perspective and dialogue should be at the forefront of any engagement with respect to mutual understanding and respect," Mr. Farrokhi said. "And what better way to deliver that message than with a laugh and a smile. It would be sort of like 'The Daily Show' of the action figure world." The first set of Puppetics™ pairs two key figures from the United States and Iraq - President George Bush and Saddam Hussein, respectively - within a single package. The meticulously designed, grinning, happy figures are accompanied by a chronological history of relations between the countries dating back to the early 1900s. The package is further enhanced by quotes from famous puppeticians both past and present. All the information is corroborated, with references also printed on the package. It is political science for kids of all ages. The figures are presented in the attire in which they would feel most comfortable. President Bush wears cowboy boots, jeans, a denim shirt and a jacket. Hussein is adorned in military fatigues, complete with his trademark turtle-neck and gun holster. Accompanying the figures are interchangeable props that - directly or indirectly - highlight important issues relating to global politics. The props include: - Barrel labeled "Oil" - Barrel labeled "WMD" - Book titled "The Holy Book" - Book titled "World Domination for Dummies" - Bottle of beer - Cigar About Mulberry Pi Mulberry Pi was established in Nov 2005 in San Francisco, Calif. by Mr. Farzam Farrokhi.

Sophisticated onboard technology allows beginner pilots to achieve professional results. [PRWeb Nov 9, 2006] http://www.prweb.com/releases/Draganflyer_SAVS/RC_helicopter/prweb475940.htm Fri, 10 Nov 2006 16:16:15 -0800 podcrew@extrahoop.com Draganfly Innovations introduces the Draganflyer SAVS, a miniature radio controlled electric helicopter with a wireless color video camera. The RC helicopter provides a cost effective alternative to obtaining quality aerial video, which until recently, required renting a full sized helicopter or airplane. The Draganflyer's self leveling feature and anti-vibration camera system, which produces high quality video, makes it a viable alternative to a full sized helicopter. Aerial video is in demand for purposes such as surveying, real estate marketing, and inspection of hard to reach or dangerous locations. Due to the expense, noise, and scheduling problems associated with a full sized helicopter, aerial video was not always an option. Prior to the Draganflyer SAVS, mounting a video camera on a miniature RC helicopter would result in a shaky video, and would still require hiring a skilled pilot to control it. The self leveling feature, referred to as Thermal Intelligence (Ti), works by using four infrared sensors which rely on the temperature difference between the sky and ground. Using input from these sensors, the on-board CPU automatically returns the helicopter to level when the control stick is released. It will stay level until the pilot inputs a pitch or roll command. This makes the RC helicopter easy to fly, and makes professional quality aerial video available to everyone at a low cost. The Draganflyer SAVS helicopter's high quality video is possible because of the anti-vibration video camera mount which isolates the camera from any vibration present in the rest of the helicopter. The onboard wireless 2.4GHz CCD camera transmits live video to a ground base station, and uses advanced circuitry featuring several filters and independent regulated power supplies to preserve the clarity of the video signal. The base station features a Diversity video receiver which dynamically chooses the best signal in real time. Other technology used in the Draganflyer SAVS includes three piezo-gyros (similar to those used on cruise missiles) which aid in stabilization, lithium-polymer batteries which allow flight times up to 15 minutes, and a rugged carbon fiber and nylon frame. The Draganflyer SAVS weighs in at only 19 ounces and measures 30 inches, and comes completely assembled in a custom built hard case including everything needed to fly. Inevitably, helicopters crash, but the Draganflyer's carbon-fiber and nylon construction provides excellent durability. The Draganflyer SAVS requires no time-consuming setup. The Draganflyer's sophisticated design eliminates the need for 95% of the parts required by conventional remote control helicopters. A flight simulator and DVD with complete footage of assembly and training are included. About Draganfly Innovations: Draganfly Innovations has been manufacturing radio controlled helicopters, airplanes, and airships for eight years.

"Now, novices and early enthusiasts interested in collecting antiques and fine art can learn from the masters in an easy, entertaining and informative format." Kamnikar, a pioneer in marketing antiques and collectibles on the Internet, skillfully guides viewers through the expansive world of antiques by asking questions of the experts and probing the details within specialties that can help make or break an accurate assessment. Learn from noted pottery and glass authority Jack McAuliffe, paintings experts Michael McClintock and David Crockett, modernism and art deco pro Ray Kisber and Tiffany lamp authorities Adele and Alan Grodsky, among others.

[PRWeb Nov 7, 2006] http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/11/prweb473379.htm Thu, 9 Nov 2006 16:46:50 -0800 podcrew@extrahoop.com Sea Marshall Lost Diver 'SOS' Alerting Unit, manufactured by Marine Rescue Technologies, Ltd., is a compact, oil-filled emergency device which can be conveniently integrated into diving gear or a buoyancy compensator (BC). When manually activated, it communicates with a fixed base unit on a dive boat, allowing for swift recovery. It also transmits an emergency homing signal on the International Search and Rescue (SAR) frequency for added protection. "We feel our Sea Marshall LD unit is a product every diver shouldn't be without," said David Marshall, founder and chairman of UK-based Marine Rescue Technologies, Ltd. "The system is immediate and locally managed, which dramatically reduces the time a lost or distressed diver spends in the water," he added. Depth rated at 300 feet, the Sea Marshall SMRS8-LD contains an electro-luminescent light cord and antenna, capable of transmitting a signal up to 3 nautical miles to a base unit. Additionally, helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft can detect a signal up to 15 and 35 nautical miles, respectively. A diver must surface before the signal can be transmitted. With millions of dives taking place worldwide each year, the product is an attractive addition to a safety-conscious industry. The alerts can be purchased as a two-component system, accompanied with a base receiver or as a stand-alone unit. An optional diver's pouch can also be included for safe storage. In the United States, Florida-based Marine Rescue Technologies, Inc. has seen steady interest from members of the diving community. The company, which serves all of the Americas, establishes reseller partnerships and provides Sea Marshall products to end-users. "There's a lot of potential for us in the dive market," stated Michael Ritchie, vice president of Marine Rescue Technologies, Inc. "The product makes sense for a lot of people. Many see it as a necessity and not optional," he added. In addition to the dive industry, Sea Marshall systems are specifically designed for other vertical markets, including commercial marine, yachting, oil & gas, sailboarding and light aviation.

The Temple of Poi 2006 Fire Dancing Expo marks the first free and legal, full-length public fire dancing event in the United States - and a DVD of the event is now on sale. The event was held in honor of National Dance Week April 19, 2006. All profits from the DVD sale will be used to fund other events of this kind.

In April 2006, more than 35 dancers participated in the Temple of Poi 2006 Fire Dancing Expo, the first free and legal, full-length fire dancing performance held in the United States. Temple of Poi announced Monday their pioneering show is now available for purchase on DVD and all profits from DVD sales would fund future events like the Expo. Temple of Poi created and sponsored the event as part of National Dance Week’s mission to affordably spread the love and knowledge of dance. Fire dancing is an art form where artists move fuel soaked tools and lit on fire around their body to create flaming trails in the air. Artists use various tools, including fans, staves and hoops with flaming wicks, and poi -- flaming balls attached to chain. It has exploded in popularity in the last 4-5 years, partially fueled by the 30,000-plus yearly attendees to the annual, week-long Burning Man (burningman.com) festival held in Nevada, in which fire arts and uninhibited creativity are celebrated. Isa Isaacs began teaching in 2002, founding the two-time Best of the Bay-winning premier poi fire dance school in the world, Temple of Poi. In response to a growing fire arts population and to a student base in excess of 900 students, Temple of Poi coordinated this public, and costly, event. Fire permits alone cost $520 in San Francisco and renting Union Square for the show costs at least $500 more. Hundreds of spectators witnessed the show while five professional videographers recorded it. “Offering this amazing show to the San Francisco public for free and creating the opportunity for emerging and established fire dancers to perform is a big step in expanding the art form. Releasing this show on DVD with footage of this caliber is perhaps an even bigger accomplishment,” said Isaacs, explaining the DVD, just like the show, is a first of its kind. "Working with fire has always been considered inherently unstable and is therefore often repressed. Acquiring the permits and resources necessary to produce a show of this nature at one of the most prominent venues in our city was a very significant event," said Sean von Stade, a 9-year fire dancing veteran, performer at the event and founder of Flowtoys, a company which manufactures tools most of the performers use for non-fire arts performances. Says student and mN8Fx troupe member Khan Wong, “Learning to spin poi opened up areas of self-realization for me in really exciting ways, not only in terms of creative expression, but in becoming a performer as well.” “This DVD represents a range of artists from beginners through full time professionals. Each tool, like the artist who wields it, has its own personality,” says Isaacs, also known by her performance name “GlitterGirl.” According to Wong, “I think fire is what attracts many people to these arts, but once they get started it’s the flow of the movements and learning to dance with their tools that takes over their imaginations.
