Sheffield, England (PRWEB) November 23, 2011

Despite the warm autumn weather throughout October and November, the UKs biggest outdoor stores GO Outdoors are reporting a huge uplift in sales of thermal underwear, ice grips for shoes and other winter essentials ahead of the coldest months of the year.

Typically November heralds the coming of the winter frost with high winds and heavy showers, resulting in a greater demand for waterproof and windproof clothing. This year however, GO Outdoors are having to keep up with a unprecedented demand for winter goods, which historically has not come until late December when temperatures begin to drop dramatically.

The warmer weather has certainly affected sales throughout the outdoor industry, said Gavin Garth, GO Outdoors Ecommerce Manager. However last years snowfall left many under prepared and unable to order the winter gear required for the colder months. But this year it certainly looks like people are readying themselves for the worst.

In January the outdoor specialist saw ice grips for shoes flying out of their stores and already the demand to get products like this early on has been exceptional. Not just warm winter clothing, but practical items including snow shovels, de-icer fluid and sledges are also proving to be unseasonably popular.

Last year many retailers had trouble shipping goods due to the heavy snowfalls, Mr Garth explained. It also made purchasing goods difficult for customers if they couldnt get to a store. So in hindsight people are getting their winter coats and shovels early to make sure that they stay warm and dont get stuck in the snow.

One of GO Outdoors most popular winter accessories this month is a folding snow shovel that is designed to be kept in the car for emergencies. After so many people were forced to abandon their cars at the side of the road during January, the demand for these products has been soaring.

This week motorway signs have appeared across the country, urging motorists to ensure that their car is ready for winter. Meanwhile savvy shoppers are already taking a Scout like be prepared attitude to a potentially snowy winter with no desire to get caught out like last year.

To meet the demand for winter products and ensure a safe Christmas for all, GO Outdoors has created an extensive range of winter essentials available both online and in store.

Just like its customers, the UKs biggest outdoor retailer is determined not to be caught out by the weather.

Nashville, TN (PRWEB) July 18, 2011

Global Maximus Records, LLC, (GMR) announced today that it will be releasing a music video to television featuring Country Music Artists BadHorse. The video is to accompany the newly released single of Its All Good! to worldwide radio. This marks the first major music video release by GMR for BadHorse and the bands third radio release.

The single is also now available on iTunes, Amazon Music and BadHorse websites. Global Maximus Productions, (GMP) sister Company to GMR and Starfest Direct, a division of PBS Holdings, Inc. out of Dallas, TX, co-produced the video.

The video hosted special guests stars known around the world for their major screen and television performances featuring Hollywood Actor, Jeff Fahey. The video shoot went smooth hitting the target with hundreds of people playing a part in the production.

The cast featured the bands long time friend and Hollywood Actor, Jeff Fahey. The famed movie actor whos credits have Fahey starring in several iconic roles including his roles as the Lawnmower Man and most recently as the helicopter pilot on the mega hit television series Lost. The actor traveled from Los Angeles to Nashville to help out his BadHorse friends.

“Jeff was a joy to work with and a real professional all the way, a team player and down to earth,” states Director Patrick Bricker with GMP-StarFest Direct.

The producers used extras to provide a vision of a busload of tourist stranded on a rural Middle Tennessee farm just outside Nashville. The driver of the bus, Fahey and BadHorse seemed to have an answer to the dilemma as the video captures. The stranded tourists are hungry for country music entertainment hence enters BadHorse along with a few friends they find on the way.

Fahey has over one-hundred-thirty (130) films and television credits throughout his accomplished career. Being a long time friend to the band and big fan of their music, Fahey wanted to help pull the entire concept together.

BadHorses worldwide fan base continues to grow and stems from their initial two hit radio singles in Mississippi Rain and the emotional military tribute song, My Little Man. The release of Its All Good! is a feel-good song already being played in over 80 markets and growing in demand.

The bands first two singles did well on multiple charts around the world including both singles hitting #1 multiple weeks on New Music Weekly Charts. The video will showcase the creativity of the group and the fun up beat tempo of the song. Its All Good is a feel good sing-a-long song that has elements of crowd involvement in the lyrics.

This matches with the bands reputation for putting on great live performances. That again was proven to a crazed New York crowd of nearly 5,000 fans and a very happy sponsoring country music station. The bands New York performance, which was this past 4th of July weekend, was sponsored by the New Country 96.1 which by all accounts produced a very successful Freedom Festival in Long Island celebrating our nations freedom.

The video will be released in two different versions. One version made for music television and a bonus extended version that will have the entire full length acting scenes that come from the opening and close of the video starring Fahey with Badhorse.

The band wanted to assure that a positive message was being driven about the friendliness and hospitality of the State of Tennessee and the surrounding Nashville area. In this video, it is Nashvilles new Country Music to the rescue with the video showcasing multiple characters.

The producers staged BadHorse to bring in the troops to save a busload of Nashville bound tourists. (Bad)Horseback riders, fire engines, cars, trucks, dune buggys among many other modes of transportation aided cast members in the rescue of the tourists starving for Nashvilles Country Music.

Although it did get a little wet and wild on the set, the video was filmed in beautiful College Grove, Tennessee at a ranch belonging to GMR Producer, Martin Silverman. Silverman also is co-owner of the very popular Nashville Italian eatery PortaVia located in Belle Meade with another store opening soon in Franklin, Tennessee.

An added bonus edition of the video will be inside the self-titled BadHorse CD/DVD release. The extra DVD will be loaded with live performances and behind the scenes footage. The DVD will also feature the bands upcoming performance on Maximus Overdrive a live music show starting this fall being produced by the same producers.

The sticky sing-a-long summertime party song made-to-video provided for a ton of fun for BadHorse, the crew and participants to enjoy. It was All Good!

NO Cows were tipped in the making of this video!

The Optima was crash-tested in Australia to gain its rating while the Australia New Car Assessment Program has accepted the recent 5-star result the Rio was awarded in the EuroNCAP testing program.

Kia has made a commitment to providing Australian drivers with not only the most stylish and well-engineered new vehicles but also the safest, Kia Motors Australia Chief Operating Officer, Tony Barlow, said.

It is our stated intention that every new car that we bring to market in Australia will benefit from Kias safety research and development program and it is our expectation that no new model into the market will fall short of the 5-star ANCAP rating the Australian buyer expects and deserves.

Optima scored a best-in-class result with 35.58 points out of a maximum 37. Side protection returned a perfect score of 16 out of 16, as did the optional pole test with two out of two. Frontal impact safety scored 14.58 out of 16 while the standard inclusion of electronic stability control and seatbelt reminders for all passengers rounded out the final tally.

In the European testing Rio achieved high scores for Adult Occupant Protection (92 percent), Child Occupant Protection (84 percent) and Safety Assist Equipment (86 percent), and Kia also received praise from the testers for fitment of ESC as standard in all European markets.

Kias 5-star garage now includes Rio, Soul, Optima, Sportage and Sorento.

The bundle comprises the Veho Muvi HD10, and the Veho Muvi waterproof case at a retail price of $ 199.95 including shipping.

Sam Pearce, SportHiTech’s VP of marketing said “When we say this bundle is fully loaded, we really mean it. From a price-performance point of view, no other HD action camera comes close to this new bundled offering”.

The Veho Muvi HD 10 (VCC-005-MUVI-HD10) is full 1080p HD video and still camera that weighs just under 3 ounces (81 grams), but has features that rival and in many cases exceed the competition.

It also has 5mp still capture, like many other cameras in this class – but unusually, it integrates a full color 1.5″ bright LCD for recording, playback and menu option control, and also includes a Sensa RF remote for hands free operation. The HD10 also has an HDMI output, a feature normally found only on more expensive cameras, and an integral univeral standard tripod mount.

This bundle also includes a 80′ (25 meter) depth capable waterproof case (VCC-A010-WPC), an in-car mount, a helmet mount, a universal mount and lots more besides – including a 4GB memory card, upgradeable to 32GB.

Battery Giant Franchise, LLC is pleased to welcome its newest franchise owner, Darrald Spencer, to the Battery Giant family. Darrald selected 5338 Grand Ave in Gurnee, Illinois, directly across from the popular Six Flags Amusement Park, for his new store location. This is the second Battery Giant store to open this year in the growing Chicagoland market. Darrald and his store location have a tremendous opportunity in Northern Chicagoland to be the community battery supplier and grow the level of service and product offerings in the area. His aptitude to understand product opportunities as well as Battery Giant’s operating model lends several competitive advantages, says Battery Giant President, Greg Danziger.

Danziger proudly notes Darrald was looking for a career change, and relying on his years of management experience and budding entrepreneurial spirit he decided to make the transition from the corporate world in construction to the franchise world. I knew I wanted to be in business for myself. I also knew I did not have some of the pieces necessary to start a successful business by myself. The key was finding a viable franchise partner and opportunity. Battery Giant provided the necessary pieces, comments Darrald of his decision. With a passion for race cars and also hobbyist in this area, it seemed natural to Darrald when considering options to select the battery industry.

Being involved with remotely-operated auto racing or “radio control” for several years allowed me to watch electric powered vehicles go through many changes as the chemistry of their power supply changed. Battery chemistry is a very dynamic field and will continue to evolve for many years. Combining my hobby with the business side of such a dynamic industry is exciting. I look forward to implementing some of the resulting changes in both worlds, describes Darrald. His Battery Giant store will stock a special category of batteries that are for RC – radio control battery powering for race cars. Darrald is looking forward to offering his customers expert advice on these specialty batteries.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) May 7, 2010

The 2010 CIBJO (World Jewellery Confederation) Congress was held in Munich, Germany, in mid-February. The overall consensus was that the luxury market is holding its own despite the recession, but CIBJO President Gaetano Cavalieri said “We are not out of the woods yet, and should not expect a full market recovery before 2011. We should also not forget that we are a luxury product industry, and our merchandise, therefore, is unlikely to ever head the list of consumer priorities.

That doesn’t worry freshwater pearl and gold jewelry wholesaler CathayGems, according to spokesperson Lan Toma. “We have a niche market – consumers who know good value when they see it, and appreciate the uniqueness of our jewelry. We actually had a 15% increase in sales last year, where the jewelry and luxury market as a whole dropped nearly 18%.”

Dr. Cavalieri referenced a study by Bain & Company during his keynote speech, mentioning a rise in purchasing power seen in working women and a younger demographic, as well as the increase in online sales of luxury items.

“We definitely see women buying jewelry for themselves, especially pearls,” commented Lan Toma. “Women love pearls – they are a symbol of power – and today’s working woman is more likely to treat herself instead of sitting around and waiting for a man to treat her.”

The Bain study also touched on the emotional needs of consumers, and how luxury items are used to meet them. “People want to feel good about themselves,” Lan Toma said. “When they have a nice piece of jewelry, or better, a matched set, they look good. When they look good they feel good.”

Freshwater pearls are becoming a big market item as more consumers realize they can have the expensive look without the extra strain on already stretched finances. CathayGems.com has a full line of jewelry to fit every budget, and specializes in customizing pieces to each customer’s satisfaction.

“We believe that jewelry can be both affordable and breathtaking,” Lan Toma concluded. “Women shouldn’t have to compromise, whether they are buying for themselves or receiving a gift from a friend or family member. CathayGems allows them to have those luxuries even when times are hard.”

CathayGems.com is a branch of C.D. Plus, Inc., an established California corporation, which also operates a wholesale pearl division. CathayGems.com provides the marketplace with freshwater pearls and fine pearl jewelry directly from family owned pearl farms offshore China, and operates an in-house manufacturing unit. Its headquarters are in San Diego with offices in China and representatives worldwide. The organization has an impeccable record with the BBB. For more information, log on to http://www.CathayGems.com or call Lan Toma, spokeswoman, at (619) 405-8044.
