For the gourmet kitchen, homeowner?s can choose from new stainless steel or fireclay farm sinks. The stainless steel sinks perfectly complement the company?s line of range hoods. Combined, these items create a sleek look ideal for a modern kitchen. The fireclay farmhouse sinks are made from hard, dense and durable clay that is glazed and fired at high temperatures.

Oakley, Inc. (http://Oakley.com) today announced the launch of the Gretchen Bleiler Signature Series Collection (http://oakley.com/women/gbcollection), a women’s line of technical outerwear, lifestyle apparel and accessories available this fall from Olympic silver medalist and four-time X Games snowboard champion.

The Gretchen Bleiler Signature Series Collection by Oakley (http://oakley.com/women/gbcollection ) is the first time the company will release a comprehensive apparel series inspired by a single athlete. The unparalleled designs in the new collection offer a bold and edgy attitude in simple yet sophisticated style.

“With her independence, inner strength and outgoing style, Gretchen is the perfect partner to ignite our women’s movement,” said Jenn Bradley, women’s brand director, Oakley. “Oakley evolved in the youth culture of action sports, empowering those who define their own lifestyles. Gretchen embodies the courage and charisma that inspire women today, and her sense of style and individuality shines through in her collection.”

Gretchen adds fashion designer to her ever-expanding repertoire of accomplishments. Every aspect of the new line echoes her independent spirit. She worked with Oakley’s expert designers to create a 17-piece collection that ranges from goggles and sunglasses to jackets and accessories, many of which carry her signature lion motif.

“This collection mirrors snow sports themselves – it’s a little racier than downhill skiing, a little bolder than cross-country but respectful of the power of the mountain and the heritage of mountain sports,” said Snowboarding Legend, Gretchen Bleiler. “I wanted to create clothing I would be excited to wear, and something entirely new that could take me from daily riding to just chillin’. That desire was fulfilled for instance by the beanies which fit under helmets but also can be worn around town, as well as a long sweater that can be worn as a base layer and still adds feminine flair off the mountain.”

The new collection puts an edge on classic styling by blending subtle lines with bold details. Bridging the gap between form and function, every detail in the line embodies Gretchen’s spirit. From the most desirable technical outerwear to the lightest organic cotton tees, there’s a sense of rhythm that mirrors a smooth ride down the mountain. Antique brass hardware adds personality to functionality, but the line is still highly technical with up to 20,000mm breathable waterproofing in performance pieces.

Designs include added features that Gretchen looks for in her gear, such as the button system added to the back of the pant leg to keep it from dragging. The jackets have an asymmetrical zipper with leather snaps across and a removable fur-trim on the hood to give it a designer feel. The pants are low-rise and boot-cut with a belt to accessorize, offering a relaxed performance fit but with a more flattering slimness than conventional designs today.

Gretchen’s concerns about the environment led to the use of recycled ECO STORM? materials in select performance pieces. These textiles are a benefit of ECO CIRCLE? technology that reduces energy and carbon dioxide emissions by one-fifth compared to the manufacture of raw polyester. Solvents are not used in the production of the protective layer, and even if the textiles are burned, few toxic gases are released – cutting down on eco assaults.

The Gretchen Bleiler Signature Series collection will be available online and at select retail stores. These retailers are chosen for their knowledgeable sales staff, wide selection and convenient locations. They currently include Zumiez, Intrawest US Retail, Specialty Sports, The House, Christy Sports, Aspen Skiing Co, Sun Logic Inc, Evo, Sport Chalet, Backcountry Store, and Radio Boardshop in Aspen, among others.

The volatility in oil prices has been significant over the past year and Sasha Cekerevac, contributor to popular financial e-newsletter Profit Confidential, believes that oil is about to break a key technical level that extends back to 2009.

In the article, Oil Prices at Crucial Technical Level, Cekerevac highlights several important technical levels to watch for in the West Texas Intermediate oil market.

?On a weekly chart, oil prices are currently hitting an uptrend line that goes back to 2009,? says Cekerevac. ?Technical analysis tells us that, the longer an indicator is in force, the more important it is.?

?The high in late February was an extreme level attained in the Relative Strength Index (RSI) for oil. In technical analysis, extreme levels of the RSI usually indicate a point at which oil prices have gone too far and a pullback is in order.?

Cekerevac believes that oil prices are forming a giant wedge. ?The breakout from this wedge will be crucial in determining where the next leg in the market is.?

?If an attack on Iran were to occur, then that would seriously impact the oil market driving up prices on the fear trade,? the editor points out.

According to Cekerevac, the $ 95.00 level has been used as both support and resistance many times. ?If oil prices break below $ 102.00, we could see $ 95.00 as the next level of support,? says Cekerevac.

Cekerevac suggests waiting for this trendline to be broken before taking on positions.

Profit Confidential, which has been published for over a decade now, has been widely recognized as predicting five major economic events over the past 10 years. In 2002, Profit Confidential started advising its readers to buy gold-related investments when gold traded under $ 300 an ounce. In 2006, it ?begged? its readers to get out of the housing market… before it plunged.

Profit Confidential was among the first (back in late 2006) to predict that the U.S. economy would be in a recession by late 2007. The daily e-letter correctly predicted the crash in the stock market of 2008 and early 2009. And Profit Confidential turned bullish on stocks in March of 2009 and rode the bear market rally from a Dow Jones Industrial Average of 6,440 on March 9, 2009, to 12,876 on May 2, 2011, a gain of 99%.

Most women think nothing of placing their purse on the floor at their office or at their favorite restaurant. Little do they know, there are millions of bacteria lurking on the floor which can easily cling to the bottom of their handbag!

A few years ago, San Diego, California sisters Nichole and Natascha Shamlian accidentally stumbled on an antique purse hook at an estate sale, did some research and created a multi-million dollar business based around their innovatively designed Je’Marie PurseHook. This week they are following up their fantastic PurseHook item with the new exciting product launch of the FUMI!

The FUMI (Fashionable, Unique, Multipurpose, Innovation) is the new designer way to store a purse while in public. However, FUMI is not only a purse hook! It also functions as a bracelet, a purse accessory and brings good luck and fortune to the wearer.

FUMI names include “Inspire”, “Ambition”, “Courageous”, “Glamorous” and “Charming”. With meanings like these, the product instantly brings positive “feel good” energy to the wearer!

The FUMI will be available with four different charm themes. The “Three Keys” charms will signify the ability to unlock the door to health, wealth and love.

Pete Bradley specialises in eBay arbitrage: buying low to sell high. Traders find a poorly advertised item, buy it and resell it for a higher price. He began by making a modest $ 40 – $ 80 per deal buying and reselling iPods and jewellery on eBay. But Pete knew that the high eBay arbitrage profits were in other areas.

“People are making big profits with antiques, collectables, cars…” Pete says. “My problem is that I don’t know enough about these markets to make money. I know that there’s a lot of fraud and forgeries on the internet. I don’t want to get ripped off — that was a big worry.”

Bradley found his eBay arbitrage niche by accident. He’s a graphic designer by trade, and needed a printer to produce poster sized versions of his artwork. A glance through eBay listings revealed massive differences in the end selling price on near identical printers.

“At first I couldn’t figure out why. But when I did, I realised I could make $ 100 – $ 500 per deal reselling high end printers.”

After a year of eBay arbitrage trading, Pete has now detailed his trading methods in an ebook.

“I’ve called it The 60 Second Secret because it takes me fifty seconds to tell you about the basics of my system, and ten seconds for you to get it. Just about anyone can understand, copy and make money from this.”

Bradley concedes that for many people, high end printers are obscure products to make money from. “But that’s their strength,” he insists. “It’s impossible for a new trader to compete with Wal-Mart, and sell mass appeal products like iPods. You’ll never win on price, so why should people buy from you? You have to find a high profit niche and specialise in it. Then you’ll make money.”

And why does Bradley want to release this information to the world?

“Internet marketing appeals to me, more than anything else,” says Pete. “And there’s plenty of room for more eBay printer arbitrage traders – literally a world of room. The USA market alone is potentially massive.”

What about the global recession? Isn’t this the worst possible time to begin eBay arbitrage, or any internet business?

“Not at all. Forrester Research predicts that online retail sales will increase by 17% in 2009. And high end printer users are not casual buyers. They are hobbyists who want the best, and professionals who need the best for their businesses. This is not the time for budding entrepreneurs to get cold feet. An internet business offers more security than many nine to five jobs.”

Dealing printers in a country in which you don’t even live might seem strange — but Bradley hopes his methods will inspire people.

“The internet is a great leveller. You can deal from any country in the world. with any country in the world. The ‘hands off’ approach is often the most efficient. It saves time, postal costs and storage space.”

Unorthodox or not, the methods outlined in The 60 Second Secret seem to be working for Pete. eBay recently awarded him Silver Powerseller status in recognition of his success.

“In another month I plan to reach Gold,” he says. Pete’s message is simple: “If I can do it, anyone can. Just follow my example.”

Several hospitals utilizing DrFirst?s RcopiaAC medication history and discharge electronic prescribing have been named among the top 100 hospitals in the country by Thomson Reuters in its 19th annual study of overall organizational performance. Since 1993 the Thomson Reuters (formerly Solucient, LLC) study evaluates performance in 10 categories including mortality, medical complications, patient safety, average patient stay, expenses, profitability, patient satisfaction, adherence to clinical standards of care, post-discharge mortality and readmission rates for acute myocardial infarction (heart attack), heart failure and pneumonia.

?We are proud that so many of our hospital clients have been recognized in the Thomson Reuters top 100 hospitals study,? said G. Cameron Deemer, president of DrFirst. ?This list is comprised of hospitals that are operating efficiently and cost-effectively and seeing high levels of patient safety and satisfaction. We are confident that RcopiaAC is assisting many of the hospitals to achieve these goals.?

RcopiaAC simplifies the often complex medication reconciliation process by providing medication history and discharge e-prescribing. On average it takes 45 minutes to collect medication history from a patient. DrFirst reduces the time it takes to collect this data by providing the richest and most informative home medication list, obtained by querying more data sources than any other solution on the market. Providers can reduce adverse drug events by using the home medication list to verify medications for patients who are unconscious, cannot communicate or cannot remember their home medications.

RcopiaAC?s discharge e-prescribing also allows hospitals to provide a higher level of patient service and safety as well as save time and money. The system performs real-time formulary status checking, displays coverage limits and copays and suggests preferred drug alternatives.

Among the Thomson Reuters Top 100 Hospitals are these users of RcopiaAC:

Centinela Hospital Medical Center, Inglewood, Calif.

Desert Valley Hospital, Victorville, Calif.

Garden Grove Hospital Medical Center, Garden Grove, Calif.

Poudre Valley Hospital, Fort Collins, Colo.
