			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://send2pressnewswire.com/image/12-0326-bouncy_72dpi.jpg" border="0" alt="" class="alignright" height="250" width="250" align="right" />SEYMOUR, Ind., March 26, 2012 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; <a href="http://bouncy-fun-rentals.com/">Bouncy Fun Rentals</a> is Seymour, Indiana&#8217;s home of the $99 inflatable bounce house. These bounce houses are a must have for a child&#8217;s birthday party or public event where you want to be seen. Mark Bowling, the owner of Bouncy Fun Rentals, got the idea to start the company after an experience he had with renting a bounce house that almost turned into a nightmare.</p>
<p>&#8220;Of course <a href="http://bouncy-fun-rentals.com/99-bouncy">The $99 Bouncy House</a> is our most affordable jumper and has 360-degree mesh windows, so parents and spectators can have a clear view of all the fun. Our moonwalks are made safe and secure with lite n strong, fire-resistant vinyl making it safer, portable and more durable,&#8221; says Bowling. </p>
<p>The medium-sized Castle 2 will let your attendees have a royal bouncing time in this bright and happy bounce house. Little princes and princesses will rule in this brilliantly-colored castle with hues of orange, blue, red, green and yellow, perfect to suit any party theme, or to stand out during a busy event.</p>
<p>Bouncy Fun Rentals will deliver and set up their high-quality vinyl bounce houses at your party according to your specifications. Their service professionals will also provide you with a comprehensive safety lecture regarding the bounce house&#8217;s safety features and its operational guidelines to ensure the safety of the children who will be playing in it.</p>
<p><a href="http://bouncy-fun-rentals.com/">Bounce houses</a> are not only unique party rentals; they also provide a fun way for children to exercise and take part in aerobic activity. Bouncy Fun Rentals also provides party rentals in Seymour, Indiana in the form of bounce castles, a 12 foot inflatable movie screen with an attached Xbox 360 gaming system, karaoke machines, and (new this year!) 18 foot wet or dry slides for all of your party needs. </p>
<p>Their prices are incredibly affordable, and all of their rentals last for a full 24 hours unless otherwise requested. Bouncy Fun Rentals will take care of all of the setup, take down, and cleaning of the equipment; all you have to worry about is having fun!</p>
<p>Bouncy Fun Rentals also believes in paying it forward to the Seymour, Indiana community. Their company is the only company which has <a href="http://bouncy-fun-rentals.com/carsons-gift">Carson&#8217;s Gift</a>. Based on a conversation Bowling had with his then four year old daughter, Carson, he decided that other children in the Seymour, Indiana area should be able to have the opportunity to have a memorable bounce house party, even if their family is unable to afford it. </p>
<p>With that in mind, Bouncy Fun Rentals offers two completely free parties for children from a list of nominees each year so that they can have a party that they will always remember. Carson&#8217;s Gift is all inclusive: Bouncy Fun Rentals will provide the bounce house and enough pizza and cake for up to a dozen kids.</p>
<p>Bouncy Fun Rentals is the premier party rental service in Seymour which takes its dedication to fun very seriously. In ordering your party rental through Bouncy Fun Rentals, you will also be helping support the Carson&#8217;s Gift program and know that not only are you helping your child have a memorable day; you can help someone else&#8217;s child have the party of a lifetime as well.</p>

<p>At Hair Spa Dance, there is no room for life&#8217;s stresses &#8211; we dance and beautify them away. Marie, the manager says: &#8220;The more you move your body and take care of your hair and beauty, the longer they will serve you. Hair Spa Dance is an upscale salon/spa, and a dance studio which is very affordable for everyone&#8217;s wellness and happiness.&#8221;</p>
<p>With an atmosphere of joy, elegance and fun, Hair Spa Dance serves the community in great style. Magic Beauty Hair Spa Dance, where life is always a party, features a 3,000 square foot facility, which is large enough for all ages to enjoy a variety of dances, workshops, weekly social public parties, private special events, find new friends, get pretty, get fit, loose weight, rejoice, relax, celebrate life in general.</p>
<p>Hair Spa Dance&#8217;s Grand Opening on November 16 and November 19, 2011 is at: 5195-I West Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33484 with the support of the Mayor, other city Officials and the Greater Chamber of Commerce.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://send2pressnewswire.com"><img src="http://send2pressnewswire.com/image/11-1024-shoprite_72dpi.jpg" border="0" alt="" class="alignright" align="right" /></a>HATFIELD, Pa., Oct. 24, 2011 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Hill PHOENIX, a designer and manufacturer of commercial refrigeration equipment, and Keasbey, N.J.-based Wakefern Food Corp are pleased to announce the grand opening of the new GreenChill Gold Award-winning ShopRite store in the Hatfield Pointe Shopping Center in Hatfield, Pa.</p>
<p>GreenChill is an E.P.A. Partnership with food retailers to reduce refrigerant emissions and decrease their impact on the ozone layer and climate change. GreenChill works to help food retailers:<br />
* Transition to environmentally friendlier refrigerants; <br />
* Lower refrigerant charge sizes and eliminate leaks; and<br />
* Adopt green refrigeration technologies, strategies, and practices.</p>
<p>Hatfield&#8217;s new ShopRite is the result of a team effort to combine green refrigeration technologies with merchandising that supports the store&#8217;s commitment to organic, local and specialty foods. Representatives from Pennsylvania-based AMF Sales and Associates, Inc. and Hill PHOENIX worked with ShopRite to design a mechanical and merchandising plan that would not only fulfill the company&#8217;s branding mission, but also would meet E.P.A. GreenChill Gold standards for sustainable refrigeration.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is important for us and for the community that ShopRite is environmentally responsible with our refrigeration technology,&#8221; said Jim Madanci, ShopRite&#8217;s director of operations. &#8220;Our investment in sustainability sends an strong message to our customers, our vendors and our community.&#8221;</p>
<p>GreenChill Gold Award certification requires that a store use only non-ozone-depleting refrigerants. It must also achieve an average HFC refrigerant charge of no more than 1.25 pounds of refrigerant per 1,000 BTU per hour total evaporator cooling load and a store wide annual refrigerant emissions rate of no more than 15 percent.</p>
<p>&#8220;The ShopRite in Hatfield, PA can be very proud of this achievement,&#8221; said Keilly Witman, manager of EPA&#8217;s GreenChill Partnership. &#8220;Our gold certification standards are so tough that only 30 stores out of about 36,000 in the nation currently hold GreenChill&#8217;s Gold-Level Store Certification.&#8221;</p>
<p>ShopRite installed a Hill PHOENIX Second Nature(R) MTLTX2 system that combines a medium temperature secondary coolant system using glycol and a low temperature direct expansion cascade system using CO2 as a refrigerant.</p>
<p>ShopRite is a retailer-owned cooperative that is part of Keasbey, N.J.-based Wakefern Food Corp. The Hatfield store will be operated by KTM Supermarkets Inc., which also owns and operates ShopRite in West Chester, Pa.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://send2pressnewswire.com/image/11-0812-townand_72dpi.jpg" border="0" title="Houston furniture store" alt="Houston furniture store" class="alignright" align="right" />HOUSTON, Texas, Aug. 12, 2011 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Town &amp; Country Leather announces the opening of their second retail leather furniture store in Houston Texas, located in the heart of the Galleria district at 1749 Post Oak Blvd., at the corner of San Felipe in the Post Oak Plaza shopping center, next to other prominent furniture stores such as Meredith O&#8217;Donnell and The Arrangement. Their Austin store on Anderson Lane has experienced double digit sales growth each year despite opening in 2008 during the peak of the recession.</p>
<p>The new Houston location is slightly different from the Austin store, including a wider range of incredible statement accessories as well as expanding their contemporary leather selection.</p>
<p>The family-owned leather furniture specialty store originated in South Florida under the name Falls Leather Gallery and expanded to a 12 store operation spanning 25 years. Owners Eric and Karen Salem strategically relocated to the favorable economy of Central Texas with future plans to include additional suburban locations near existing stores in Austin&#8217;s Hill Country Galleria and Houston&#8217;s suburb The Woodlands.</p>
<p>Both stores feature a large selection of competitively priced modern, traditional and transitional major brand name leather furniture from Natuzzi, Palliser, Bernhardt, Klaussner, Flexsteel, and Artistic Leather. Domicil, a high design German contemporary leather collection, was recently added to the showroom at competitive pricing. They also carry a full line of coordinating tables, rugs, decorative accessories, lighting as well permanent native cactus and succulent arrangements.</p>
<p><img src="http://send2pressnewswire.com/image/11-0812-townand2_72dpi.jpg" align="left" style="margin-right:20px;" alt="" />Original abstract modern art by owner Karen Salem is a unique addition to the stores other one of a kind hand-made items. Advantages of shopping at Town &amp; Country Leather include unsurpassed customer service by knowledgeable leather experts, next day delivery and the ability to special order from leather choices and design configurations.</p>
<p>General Manager is Tom Etz formerly with Gage furniture, Houston Store manager Karen Taylor formerly with Noel Design Center.

(SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- With the many ups and downs in the economy lately, it seems unusual to hear about a new business emerging strong - yet in Denver, Colorado, the timing seems to be just right for Jiggy's Pipes.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://send2pressnewswire.com/image/11-0809-jiggy1_72dpi.jpg" border="0" title="Medical Marijuana Dispensary" alt="Medical Marijuana Dispensary" class="alignright" align="right" />DENVER, Colo., Aug. 10, 2011 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; With the many ups and downs in the economy lately, it seems unusual to hear about a new business emerging strong &#8211; yet in Denver, Colorado, the timing seems to be just right for Jiggy&#8217;s Pipes. With the emergence of the Medical Marijuana Dispensary rush that has been going on for some time now in Colorado, the focus in the news has been the legal, tax, and other ramifications this new industry would bring.</p>
<p>But what about the other businesses that also benefit from the rush; since the MMJ industry has exploded, several other products are also in demand as a result.</p>
<p>This was the thought for Mark Jiggy, owner of Jiggy&#8217;s Pipes. By recognizing the pending demand for the pipes, hookahs, bongs, and &#8220;zongs,&#8221; he has created a new online cottage business that provides a valuable service to the patrons of the dispensaries &#8211; an online catalog of specialty glassware, created here in the Colorado area by some of its artisan glassblowers. </p>
<p>Truly unique items such as Gandalfs, a very long glass pipe modeled after the famous Lord of the Rings smoker, and Zongs (highly intricate twisted, tall bongs), can be found at Jiggy&#8217;s Online store (<a href="http://www.jiggyspipes.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://www.jiggyspipes.com" target="_blank">www.jiggyspipes.com</a>), along with some truly funny gift pack combinations &#8211; such as &#8220;A Poppin Good Time&#8221; which bundles a popcorn tub, three packages of popcorn, a collectible ashtray, and a Glassware Bubbler.</p>
<p>This, and the &#8220;Breakfast O&#8217; Champs!&#8221; containing PopTarts, a lighter, and a small Glassware Bubbler were inspired by the Midnight Munchies stereotype typically associated with the dispensary audience.</p>
<p><img src="http://send2pressnewswire.com/image/11-0809-jiggy2_72dpi.jpg" align="left" style="margin-right:20px;" alt="" />&#8220;You have to have a sense of humor and fun with any new business,&#8221; said Mark Jiggy, owner of Jiggy&#8217;s. &#8220;The dispensary businesses are here to stay, and someone has to provide the supporting goods to their customers &#8211; I wanted to make people laugh, while giving them great selection &#8211; and some very cool glassware.&#8221;</p>
<p>The concept was simple &#8211; a business that does NOT provide marijuana or any similar substance, but does provide glassware, lighters, and accessories to support the dispensary industry. The feedback so far has been very enthusiastic &#8211; while Jiggy&#8217;s is purely an online store and is very new, Mark has stated that the interest and demand is very high. In fact, when he originally thought about setting up his storefront, he did not anticipate the response to some of the glassware &#8211; not only is the product popular, but some of the glassblowers in the area are creating some very unusual and intricate designs, are very happy for the new work, and look for him to visit every week with his inventory needs. </p>
<p>Jiggy&#8217;s Pipes (<a href="http://www.jiggyspipes.com" class="autohyperlink" title="http://www.jiggyspipes.com" target="_blank">www.jiggyspipes.com</a>) is a new business that has come from the changing world of legalized medical marijuana. Like any other business, it strives to provide its customer&#8217;s with selection, price, and the products the customer needs &#8211; and make a small profit. If the past few weeks since its opening are anything to base its success on, the company has found a winning formula &#8211; and managed to still have fun in the process.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://send2pressnewswire.com/image/11-0512-hillphnx_72dpi.jpg" border="0" title="GreenChill Refrigeration System" alt="GreenChill Refrigeration System" class="alignright" align="right" />THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., May 12, 2011 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) &#8212; Hill PHOENIX, a designer and manufacturer of commercial refrigeration equipment, and Arizona-based Sprouts Farmers Market will host a community open house at Sprouts&#8217; first GreenChill Platinum Award-winning store on May 17 in Thousand Oaks, Calif. The Westlake Village store is only the third grocery store in the nation to receive the EPA&#8217;s highest GreenChill Award.</p>
<p>GreenChill is an EPA Partnership with food retailers to reduce refrigerant emissions and decrease their impact on the ozone layer and climate change.</p>
<p><strong>GreenChill works to help food retailers:</strong><br />
* Transition to environmentally friendlier refrigerants; <br />
* Lower refrigerant charge sizes and eliminate leaks; and<br />
* Adopt green refrigeration technologies, strategies, and practices.</p>
<p>&#8220;Hill PHOENIX&#8217;s project with fellow GreenChill Partner Sprouts is a perfect example of what companies can do when they take the &#8216;GreenChill spirit&#8217; and push the boundaries of the achievable,&#8221; said Keilly Witman, manager of EPA&#8217;s GreenChill Partnership. &#8220;This store represents many firsts: the first CO2 cascade system to achieve platinum, the first platinum store west of the Mississippi, and the first time a store was designed from the ground up to achieve GreenChill standards.&#8221;</p>
<p>In collaboration with Sprouts&#8217; construction and facilities engineering team, Hill PHOENIX designed and manufactured an innovative new solution featuring a full CO2 cascade system for both low temperature and medium temperature applications &#8211; the Second Nature&reg; MT2LX.</p>
<p>&#8220;We challenged Hill PHOENIX to come up with a design that would reduce our use of refrigerants by an amount that would allow us to meet GreenChill Platinum standards,&#8221; said Jerry Stutler, vice president, construction and facility engineering for Sprouts Farmers Market. &#8220;We felt that Hill PHOENIX was more advanced in the engineering and manufacturing of CO2 systems than any other manufacturer on the market today.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Second Nature MT2LX system is one of the most environmentally responsible refrigeration systems available in the industry today and represents the next step in CO2 refrigeration technology. CO2 is used as a secondary coolant for the medium-temperature system and as a direct expansion cascade refrigerant for the low-temperature system.</p>
<p><strong>The advantages of a CO2-based cascade system include:</strong><br />
* CO2 is considered a natural refrigerant with very low global warming potential (GWP=1).<br />
* CO2 is an inexpensive, widely available refrigerant compared with HFC.<br />
* A more than 70 percent reduction in HFC refrigerant charge can be achieved. The entire primary refrigerant charge is confined to the machine room and condenser to enable simple leak detection and servicing.<br />
* The lines required for CO2 transport are typically one to two sizes smaller than traditional DX piping systems, reducing the weight of installed copper lines by 50 percent of more and reducing installation costs.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sprouts is on a quest not only to provide consumers with fresh and organic products in a unique shopping format, they are working to reduce their global carbon footprint from every aspect,&#8221; said Tom McFarlane, regional sales manager for Hill PHOENIX. &#8220;Our involvement in that effort is a great example of the collaborative innovation that makes Hill PHOENIX a leader in sustainable, energy efficient commercial refrigeration solutions.&#8221;</p>

Marci Kessler, an expert on designer fashion and owner of DoubleTake boutiques throughout New Jersey says, &#8220;Properly shopping designer consignment can be fun and rewarding. You can indulge in even more of your favorite designer clothing, and then earn extra cash for items you&#8217;ve already enjoyed.&#8221;</p>
<p>The exclusive fashion shop, a long-held secret of the wealthy, including celebrities, models, photographers and executives sells luxury designer clothing, handbags, accessories and jewelry, splitting the proceeds with their original owners. Products debut at 35 percent of retail, with sales split 50/50 with consignors. </p>
<p>DoubleTake boutiques are nothing like your grandmother&#8217;s thrift shop. Recently opened stores in Red Bank, Ridgewood and Englewood, look more like a boutique within Bergdorf, Barney&#8217;s, or Bendels, with helpful personal shopping experts, and a relaxed, casual atmosphere.</p>
<p>Marci recently appeared as a guest expert on national television on &#8220;The Nate Show,&#8221; with Nate Berkus, where she offered some of the following &#8220;Tips&#8221; about consignment shopping:</p>
<p>1. Shop in Affluent Areas: Women who are seeking high-end designer merchandise such as Chanel, Hermes, Gucci, etc., are more likely to find these items in shops that are located in affluent neighborhoods.</p>
<p>2. Finding Celebrity Fashions: Some consignment shops do business with movie studies, TV shows, actresses and stylists. People interested in outfits that have been down the red carpet or in a recent movie, simply need to ask our stores to put them on a &#8220;wish list&#8221; when these items arrive.</p>
<p>3. Get Runway Fashions Before the Stores/Boutiques: There are some women who shop with stylists and buy right off the runways and then turn around and consign these items when they are done with them (e.g., socialites who wear an item once). Interested shoppers need to find consignment shops that work with such stylists and let them know that they would like to be notified when these items arrive.</p>
<p>4. Finding Fine Jewelry: It is not unusual for consignment shops to receive fine jewelry and watches and even large quantities of estate jewelry. For those people interested and willing to buy gold and diamonds from a consignment shop, you need to find those shops that provide appraisals for these exclusive items.</p>
<p>5. Frequent Visits and/or Calls for the Most Desirable Merchandise: Since most consignment shops receive new merchandise daily, it is important to either visit or call your favorite shops frequently. At DoubleTake, we notify our clients by text or IM when special orders or a large cache of new merchandise arrives.</p>
<p>6. Get the Inside Scoop on Sales and Special Events: Make it a point to become friendly with sales staff, since they will let you know about upcoming sales and special events. Some consignment shops even have special private sales.</p>
<p>7. Ask About Extra Discounts at End of Season: Many consignment shops mark down their merchandise at the end of a season, so it is smart to ask the salespeople about markdowns on interested items. Smart shoppers can save an additional 25 percent if their timing is good.</p>
<p>8. Politically Correct Furs: For those women who value the luxury and warmth of a fur coat, but have an issue with buying new, consignment shops present a way to get a beautiful fur at a great price without directly impacting the demand.</p>
<p>9. New Merchandise from Local Boutiques and Manufacturers: Some boutiques prefer to consign their end of season merchandise as opposed to running deep sales, since they are concerned with the image of running such sales. Additionally, some manufacturers prefer to work with consignment shops vs. discounters for the same reason. The best consignment shoppers know that the higher end consignment shops tend to get this type of merchandise.</p>
<p>Here are just a few examples from thousands of amazing values recently available:

MaxMara Dress		Retail: $520		DoubleTake: $176
