The New Downtown University of Memphis Law School Opens Next Week Bringing Change and Excitement to Downtown

Memphis, Tenn. — This Monday, January 11, 2010, the University of Memphis’ Cecil C. Humphrey’s Law School will open the doors of its new downtown location for the first time to more than 500 students, professors and staff. Housed in a former 19th Century U.S. Customs House, the now 169,000-square-foot building has undergone years of renovation and will function as a state-of-the-art, 21st Century learning environment, complete with wireless computer access, an expansive, open library and all the modern convenience of a high-tech, professional law facility.

The Long and Short of It: Unique Hair Tips From a Hair Replacement Expert...

*MEDIA ALERT* *INTERVIEW OPPORTUNITY* *MEDIA ALERT

Hair Expert Offers Women With Thin, Damaged or Lost Hair
Tips on Restoring or Replacing Their ‘Crowning Glory'

Elena Golescu is ‘the hair whisperer’

Celebrities often change their hair color the way the rest of us change clothes…blonde today, brunette tomorrow. Others sport impossibly light, “sun-kissed” tresses that require constant bleaching. All of this often adds up to serious damage. While wealthy stars and socialites can afford the finest, most natural human hair wigs and extensions to disguise their “real” hair, what is the less affluent woman to do? Are there affordable solutions to keep your crowning glory looking great, even if it’s not your own hair the world sees? And while you wear your wig or extensions, are there ways to undo the underlying damage and ‘extend’ your options, so that you will be able to once again show the world your real hair at some future time?

“Absolutely! Yes, there are definitely solutions every woman should know about,” says a woman her devoted clients cal ”the hair whisperer.” Elena Golescu, founder of New York Cosmetic Image Center, the only hair replacement center in Great Neck, NY,has a natural–born gift for bringing even the driest, deadest-looking hair back to life. She is also passionate about helping women meet their hair challenges beautifully and affordably in order to triumph over a) the ravages done to their hair due to harsh chemicals; b) hair loss due to alopecia, cancer treatments, or other illnesses, and c) the hormonal changes related to aging that often cause unsightly thinning or bald spots in women.

Working with clients of all ages and backgrounds for more than a decade, from young women who over-dyed their hair to older women and children with little or no hair due to disease, Elena has even traveled to Italy to source the most gorgeous 100% human hair, from which she brilliantly custom- fashions completely natural looking wigs and extension pieces. As important as the hair itself, she also uses state-of-the art hair bonding systems, adapted to her clients’ individual needs to insure that the wig, piece or extension looks and feels completely comfortable and is user-friendly to the max.

Among the many hair replacement, hair styling and ”healthy hair” topics Elena can discuss are:

1. Why 100% human hair wigs and extensions are preferable and how to care for them.
2. How to care for your own hair and scalp under your wig or extension.
3. Objective evaluation of commercial hair products and homemade hair care remedies.
4. Hairstyles that flatter various facial types and age groups…the long and short of it.
5. Makeover central: how to burst into the New Year as a new you, affordably.

Elena is charming, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable, and can offer your audience smart, practical advice and unique ‘how to’ tips. (Would that poor Britney had heard Elena, she might never have shaved off her hair!) Incidentally, Elena can cite specifics and comment on what celebs are doing wrong and what some are in fact doing right that we can all learn from).

I look forward to connecting you with Elena. Meantime her website is nycosmeticimagectr.com.

From: "Ann Noder"
Date: December 15, 2009 9:22:00 AM PST
Subject: New - Angel Book

Alan,

World renowned Spiritual Intuitive, Sonja Grace (www.sonjagrace.com) tackles the subject of death like no one else before, in her new 2010 book, Angels in the 21st Century: A New Perspective on Death and Dying.

I thought you might have interest in a review copy.

For nearly 30 years, Sonja has been providing clarity and guidance helping people worldwide to seek answers from within, as well as from the spirit realm. Thanks to her special gifts, she provides profound and unique insight, revealing how tuning into the Four Essential Bodies (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual) provides each of us the ability to experience a life of happiness, in part by preparing us for the greatest passage of all: Death.

The book takes a truly hopeful and positive look at what it really means to die.

Please let me know if you are interested in taking a look.

Also, happy to provide more information, a jpeg of the cover, and/or an interview. Thanks!

Oshkosh to Display Sandcat at International Armoured Vehicles

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

OSHKOSH TO DISPLAY SANDCAT AT INTERNATIONAL ARMOURED VEHICLES

LONDON, UK – 16th November 2009 - Oshkosh Defence will showcase their vehicle armouring capabilities at International Armoured Vehicles taking place on the 1st to the 5th February, at the ExCel Centre, London.

As calls across the globe for improved equipment to be provided to troops in Afghanistan, Oshkosh have received significant praise from the U.S Defense Secretary, Robert Gates, who claims that Oshkosh’s rapid build up of a new class of military vehicles designed for specifically for Afghanistan, is one of the most remarkable efforts in the defence industry since World War II.

With recorded statistics indicating that eight American troops have died in combat through attacks on armoured military vehicles, and forty more wounded, there is the sense of a growing need to hasten global efforts to upgrade armoured vehicle military capabilities.

Exhibiting their new SandCat, the high-speed, highly-protected, highly-manoeuvrable vehicle can be specifically configured to fulfil a variety of roles in any type of mission. The SandCat is tailored to meet operational environments, giving the perfect balance of mission performance, protection and payload to meet rigorous demands.

The exhibition, which is taken place alongside the main conference at International Armoured Vehicles, is attracting a huge amount of interest from the AFV community, with over 50 exhibitors signed up already. Oshkosh will be joined by an array of vehicle manufacturers and major OEMs, vehicle system suppliers and service providers. Companies include Force Protection, Iveco, MDH Bioquell, Hutchison and Tyron.

At a time when military, political and industrial imperatives come to the fore, International Armoured Vehicles is an event that is pertinent to the AFV community.

Pedata RV Center Watches Housing Market Roll On; Literally

Pedata RV Center sees RV sales continue to increase.

RV wholesale shipments jumped 16% in August from July to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 209,800, reports the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association. August marks a 135% surge from January leading some to believe the worst of the recession may be over.

Average costs for an RV range from $50,000 – $300,000 and “…sales of motor homes and travel trailers are seen by some economists as a leading indicator of the economy's health, because they're among the largest discretionary purchases a consumer can make,” says USA Today’s article On the Road Again: RV Sales See an Upswing.

Pedata RV Center has been confident about an economic turnaround. “Our sales floor and phones stayed busy consistently the last 9 months,” says Gerard Pedata, owner of Pedata RV Center. “In fact, we have seen more traffic this year than ever. They aren’t all necessarily buyers, but there are shoppers. This just shows that the RV consumer is still there and we are seeing evidence of stability slowly returning in the economy and our buyers are too.”

For more information on Pedata RV Center, or current trends in the RV industry contact Gerard Pedata, sales@pedatarvcenter.com or by phone at: 1-888-545-8314 or 520-807-0900. Or visit Pedata RV Center online at www.pedatarvcenter.com.
