    <summary>Technical Gear knows that buying the right pair of ski goggles can make all the difference to your performance on the slopes.  Their tips and guidelines for choosing goggles that are right for you eliminates the guesswork as you gear up for the coming ski season.</summary>
    <content type="html">
&lt;p&gt;Ft. Myers, FL (IPRWIRE) Thur, October 18th, 2007 -- Technical Gear (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.technical-gear.com&quot; class=&quot;snap_preview&quot;&gt;http://www.technical-gear.com&lt;/a&gt;) is pleased to announce their pre-season sale of Smith Ski Goggles and Spy Ski Goggles for the ski season.  Their knowledge and expertise can help you find the right ski goggles to match your own personal needs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Smith Ski Goggles are ideal when you are looking for reliable vision matched with a perfect fit.  Smith Goggles are designed to exceed these expectations to give you the ultimate skiing or snowboarding experience.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Spy Ski Goggles come with their own reputation for excellence.  The patented Scoop venting forces air through the scoops to pull moist air from within the goggle thereby providing you with reliable vision that you can count on in all winter weather conditions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Technical Gear has 7 tips and guidelines to help you buy the right goggles for you:
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left:15px;&quot;&gt;
1. Look for a frame that will conform to your individual facial features while it remains flexible in cold winter conditions.
&lt;/div&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left:15px;&quot;&gt;
2. Performance face foam will add to the comfort and functionality of your ski goggles, controlling moisture so that you stay drier.&lt;/div&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left:15px;&quot;&gt;
3. Look for adjustable straps and helmet compatibility for a secure fit.  Technical Gear recommends Smith Optics Ski Goggles that come with the &quot;Articulating Outrigger&quot;, keeping pressure even over your brow and nose for a tight seal.&lt;/div&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left:15px;&quot;&gt;
4. Lens vents regulate air flow across the lenses to eliminate fogging.  Spy Optics Ski Goggles feature the &quot;Scoop Vented System&quot; which forces the air through the vents.&lt;/div&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left:15px;&quot;&gt;
5. Choose optically engineered ski goggles that provide 100% UV protection for superior clarity, strength, and significant reduction of ultraviolet radiation which is magnified on the slopes.&lt;/div&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left:15px;&quot;&gt;
6. Orange or yellow lens have a higher VLT (Visible Light Transmission). This can improve your vision in low light and overcast conditions.&lt;/div&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-left:15px;&quot;&gt;
7. Choose darker, more neutral lenses with a lower VLT for bright light conditions.  Consider adding a mirrored coating to reflect glare from the sun.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Take advantage of Technical Gear's pre-season sale to get the gear you need for the slopes.  Their experience and advice about ski goggles ensures that you get the right fit and features.&lt;/p&gt;

    <summary>The Internet Marketing Center’s Jason Bax will be in Orlando the weekend of February 17-18 to present a free two-day Internet Wealth-Building workshop</summary>
    <content type="html">
&lt;p&gt;Orlando, FL (IPRWIRE) Tues, Feb. 13th, 2007 -- Jason Bax is returning to Orlando by popular demand to offer a unique two-day workshop on how anyone can successfully start an Internet business.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;I love Florida, I love Internet marketing, and I love speaking at our workshops &amp;ndash; the energy is incredible, and I&amp;rsquo;m always blown away by the enthusiasm and great ideas of our participants,&amp;quot; says Bax.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many people who attend IMC&amp;rsquo;s Wealth-Building Workshops return again and again to learn about the hottest tips and strategies in Internet marketing, which Bax presents straight from IMC&amp;rsquo;s own tests and promotions. Take Barbara Jennings, a 61-year-old grandmother from Orange County, California.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;I will always come back to IMC seminars, wherever they may be, because you never know when you're going to get another nugget that could double your business!&amp;quot; Jennings says.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;For example, the last one I attended was a year ago, and since then I have more than doubled my profits -- without spending a dime -- just implementing things I learned at the seminar! Now, I'm making over $100,000 a year, and I've joined the ranks of those I used to admire so much.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The tools and techniques Bax will cover during this high-energy weekend include:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- How to access the best research tool for finding new, lucrative business ideas that no Internet business owner can afford to be without&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- How to start a web site for less than $100 using cheap and free resources, and then upgrade once sales start rolling in&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- How to uncover popular keywords that thousands of people are searching and scoop up these neglected traffic streams &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bax will be accompanied by a team of IMC experts, who will be on hand as attendees network and meet other like-minded entrepreneurs. The team will be offering free advice, and website analyses.&lt;br&gt;
    &lt;br&gt;

    <title>Spa Sentiments Introduces All Natural Skin Care Products That Not Only Heal But Also Relax</title>
    <summary>Spa Sentiments is now offering their extensive and impressive natural skin care products to the general public at prices that are well below those found elsewhere</summary>
    <content type="html">
&lt;p&gt;Cordova, Tennessee (IPRWIRE) Fri, Feb. 9th, 2007 -- Spa Sentiments (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spasentiments.com&quot; class=&quot;snap_preview&quot;&gt;www.spasentiments.com&lt;/a&gt;) is proud to announce the launch of their new, natural skin care products line that not only make for a healthier outer person, they also aid in relaxation of the entire body.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to Lynn Hopkins, co-founder of Spa Sentiments: &amp;quot;Many skin care products are loaded with a wide variety of chemical ingredients and fillers that can be irritating to the skin. According to some studies, some of these ingredients such as parabens may even have a possible connection with breast cancer and accelerated skin aging. Although, additional studies need to be done to determine whether the connection can be confirmed or not, it still raises concerns with some consumers.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She goes on to add, &amp;quot;Because of these growing consumer concerns about parabens and other potentially harmful ingredients such as petrochemicals and formaldehydes commonly used in many cosmetics and skin care products, Spa Sentiments offers an affordable alternative with a new line of spa-quality bath, body and natural skin care products made with fresh, pure and natural ingredients. The new line consists of a complete head-to-toe collection that is not only relaxing and pleasing to the senses, but is also good for the epidermis.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When asked why she believes her company is unique, Ms. Hopkins replied: &amp;quot;What makes us so different from other companies is we use as many organic and wild-crafted ingredients as possible to provide the purest paraben-free natural skin care products while at the same time keeping our prices affordable so customers can indulge in home spa treatments more often. We do this by using ingredients such as 100% pure essential oils, fresh butters, organic cold pressed oils, organic hydrosols, glycerin-based extracts and paraben-free preservatives. You won't find any fillers, propylene glycol, petrochemicals or formaldehydes in the Spa Sentiments Collection.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Spa Sentiments customers agree. Julie P. of Cordova, TN notes that, &amp;quot;Some natural products might do the job, but you also might sacrifice the 'fun' element of getting the stuff that's best for you. It's great that the Spa Sentiments products are natural, but they are also enjoyable. The natural lip balm, for example, is not like anything I have ever had, it is not waxy at all. Plus, it is really moisturizing, glides on smooth, and is very soothing and comforting to my winter chapped lips. The sweet orange oil scent is wonderful and tastes great too without artificial flavoring.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The company offerings are impressive, ranging from foot scrub items to aromatherapy bath salts and just about anything in between. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Visit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spasentiments.com&quot; class=&quot;snap_preview&quot;&gt;www.spasentiments.com&lt;/a&gt; for more information about the new line of natural products and to view current specials, or to sign up for their free newsletter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;About Spa Sentiments:&lt;br&gt;
  Spa Sentiments was originally founded in 1998 as Bodies By Design. The company&amp;rsquo;s focus is on natural skin care products and natural spa products made from fresh, pure, and helpful ingredients. &lt;br&gt;

    <title>Baby Boomers Scooping Up Big Bear Real Estate</title>
    <summary>he real estate market in Big Bear Lake, California has been enjoying this rising interest in second/vacation homes for the last three years and is positioned to continue to thrive on the increasing demand of the boomer generation</summary>
    <content type="html">
&lt;p&gt;Big Bear Lake, CA (IPR Wire) May, 2006 -- Second home purchases of vacation and investment properties are becoming an ever-increasing part of total home sales. In 2005 Americans bought a record number of second homes, amounting to nearly 40% of total home sales, a real estate trade association reported recently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And with baby boomers at the peak of their earning potential, the push to snap up vacation homes is unlikely to reverse soon despite a broader housing slow down, the National Association of Realtors said. “The baby-boom generation is driving second home sales,” David Lereah, the Realtor’s group chief economist, said in a statement. “They’re at the optimum point in life when people become interested in second homes. They’re at the peak of their earnings, interest rates remain historically low and boomers want to diversify investments,” he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The real estate market in Big Bear Lake, California has been enjoying this rising interest in second/vacation homes for the last three years and is positioned to continue to thrive on the increasing demand of the boomer generation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Big Bear Lake is a four-season alpine resort community nestled in the San Bernardino Mountains, east of Los Angeles. The public lake sits at an elevation of 6,750 feet above sea level and Big Bear Valley is surrounded entirely by National Forest, which keeps development limited. The Big Bear vacation home market is unique in that, in addition to the alpine setting of the lake, forest, and two local ski-resorts, Big Bear is less than a three hour drive from over 20 million people in the major metropolitan areas of San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles, and Ventura counties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Here in Big Bear we have seen increasing demand across the board for the smaller, cozy mountain cabins to the larger, exclusive new development areas,” stated Mike Sannes of Prudential Properties of Big Bear. “What Big Bear offers to the buyers of the boomer generation is unique in Southern California.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Buyers in Big Bear, made up largely of second or vacation home purchasers, are often looking for weekend-retreat type properties where they can escape the urban sprawl to enjoy the mountains. These homes, which at some point in the future many will use for full, or at least part-time living, are often rented out to vacationers when not in use in order to help offset expenses. Appreciation over the last two years in Big Bear Lake real estate has been encouraging at 22% in 2004 and 27% in 2005. Despite the broader and much publicized housing slow down, the future for vacation and resort markets like Big Bear Lake is very exciting. &lt;br /&gt;
