[Los Angeles, CA] – April 05, 2011 — /RTPR/ — Hand & Nail Harmony, Inc., makers of Gelish, announces the creation of two special limited-edition Gelish colors today, “Pink Cherry-Blossom of Renewal” and “Pink Lilac Sparkle Sunrise.” Gelish will donate advance proceeds for Japan Tsunami & Earthquake Relief, in order to assist the survivors who live in areas affected by the devastating quake. The two special “Japanese-pink” pigments pay homage to the resilience of the people of Japan.
Harmony’s CEO, Danny Haile, has developed products in Japan for 15 years, working with Tokyo-based Nails Unique, a leading beauty-products distributor.
Mr. Haile is the inventor of Gelish, the holder of an international patent and three US patents pending, the brand front-runner in the newest salon nail-care trend, “the Gelish Permanent Manicure” that uses a unique gel-polish fusion technology. Gelish will donate over $50,0000 in advance to represent sales earnings from the two exclusive tribute shades. The donation period will be effective immediately, starting today through the anticipated period of distribution of the limited run of 1,500 specially-labeled bottles to last until about May 30, 2011. Gelish will donate the funds to the American Red Cross for Japan relief efforts.
Haile, President and CEO of Gelish, and David Daniel, COO, said, “This is a crisis that needs global help from all sectors; all of us here at Gelish and Hand & Nail Harmony extend our thoughts and prayers to the people of Japan and wish to support their relief and rebuilding efforts. We are committed to raising and donating funds to help our overseas colleagues and friends as well as their families and loved ones.”
About Gelish
Gelish, winner of the “Innovative Product of the Year Award,” adhesion-bonds gel-polish onto nail-edges, chemically attaching a micro-fine coating atop and all around each nail for a polished look that’s strong yet flexible, with no chipping or peeling. No odor, no chipping, no scraping…and no time-crunch issues, either: Gelish cures in seconds in an L.E.D. lamp, drying to a high-gloss, super-shiny finish that lasts and lasts – as fresh and glossy on Day 21 as Day 1. Gelish, available in close to 100 glorious colors, is sold exclusively to nail professionals for salon use, though soon a consumer kit for touch-ups is in the works to be sold exclusively through Sally Beauty Products. Gelish has been seen on music stars like Katy Perry, Rhianna, JLo and Ciara, on top supermodels for live runway fashion events, in print/magazine ads and editorials and on the hands and toes of stars of film and television.

APR 04, 2011 /RTPR/ — In his third and new book, “JESUS, SON OF GOD, CLONE OF GOD,”, author and Bible scholar, Harry Walther, does what is thought to be impossible by the Theological World, he solves the Mystery of The Trinity. Harry Walther explains that JESUS is truly the Son of God because He was the “only begotten” Son, cloned from The Father meaning “brought-into-existence” before the Foundation of the world.
http://www.satansrapture.com/jesuscloneofgod.htm
This revolutionary book challenges all known Theology as it takes you through the Bible and shows from JESUS own statements that He truly is the Son of God with an origin. Going a step further, this book explains why there is an extreme drought of miracles and healings in the Churches today and how to correct this problem.

March 22, 2011 – When It Comes to Instilling Life to Your Home and Providing a Personal Touch to the Overall Ambience, Carol Chipkin Paintings Are the Ideal Option for You
Clean, smooth surfaces, and a minimalist, uncluttered appearance define contemporary style interior design. The modern look we go for these days differs in so many ways from the finical interiors favored by our forerunners, but contemporary design doesn’t necessarily have to involve stripping a home of its personality, intimacy, comfort and hospitality.
Although modern style is just as rich and broad as its traditional equivalent, we recognize three common elements in most contemporary-styled homes: cool, muted color palettes, smooth, fluid textures, and clear, simple, uncluttered surfaces. While this trend is often effective in conferring a home a neat, modern look while preserving its welcoming nature and authenticity, overdoing things can result in a sterile, cold and formal, almost office-like ambience rather than a family home.
If you feel that your home is trapped in this stereotype too, and you want to restore its vitality, hospitality and warmth, one of the best ways to achieve that is with color. Bringing a few accents of color to your interiors or resuscitating the visual vibe by introducing several pieces of contemporary art in the setting can do wonders. If you blend them in tastefully, original and colorful paintings become your best tools for adding interest to what would otherwise be a plain looking room.
When it comes to instilling life to your home and providing a personal touch to the overall ambience, Carol Chipkin paintings are the ideal option for you. Her original, fresh and colorful artwork provides a great way to cheer up and put the finishing touch to any interior, no matter how big or how small, and regardless of its purpose.
Nourishing a fervent passion for nature and decorative art, Carol Chipkin is mostly popular for her elaborate, colorful and highly original nature paintings. Carol likes to experiment with her work and to push the limits of conventional interior design art as she ingeniously combines various mediums – i.e. cold pressed watercolor paper with layered colored tissue paper and textured materials – to enhance the expressivity of the nature-inspired themes she portrays.
About Carol Chipkin
An established landscapes artist, Carol Chipkin has a B.A. in Fine Art from the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg – the city where she was born and educated. Having lived in Vancouver for 17 years now, Carol says she is happy with her new home, and that she finds the city stunning, invigorating and inspiring. The artist has always had an inclination towards decorative art – probably acquired during the time she was a textile designer – which she fully reflects in her recent works, a series of brightly colored, highly expressive and fresh mixed media paintings.

It’s one of the most popular hobbies in the country, one with a warm, storied past and an even more blazing future on the cutting edge of contemporary art. And beginning this year, Midwesterners in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana will get to see what quilting is all about at the debut of the spring edition of International Quilt Festival in Cincinnati!
“We are very excited to bring the show to the Queen City,” says Festival Founder and Director Karey Bresenhan, who also oversees other editions of Festival in Long Beach and Houston — the latter of which annually draws more than 60,000 attendees! “The area has always been rich with quilters and fabric artists, and a lot of them have never been to a show of this size before!”
International Quilt Festival/Cincinnati will take place April 8-10 at the Duke Energy Convention Center in Cincinnati, Ohio . Classes will begin April 7, and Preview Night will be held the same day from 5-9 p.m.
Quilting is big business! As reported in the most recent Quilting in America™ survey, there are more than 21 million quilters in the U.S. who spend nearly $3.6 billion annually on their passion. According to USA Today, that’s more than is laid out by hunting/gun enthusiasts, fishermen, and golfers combined.
But you don’t have to be a quilter—or even know how to thread a needle—to enjoy so much of what’s available at the show.
There will be almost 400 shopping booths offering antique and contemporary quilts and fabrics, patterns, notions, and books for the quilting and sewing enthusiast. Festival visitors will also find everything from antiques, crafts, and home décor items to clothing, jewelry, bags, and other accessories.
On display will be over 500 incredible quilts and other works of fabric art in 18 different special exhibits. These textile artworks run the gamut from antique time-honored patterns to cutting-edge contemporary fabric artistry.
Among this year’s exhibit highlights are “America Collects Quilts®: The Works of Susan Shie,” which feature the sometimes controversial artist’s unique works; “Baltimore Album Review II: Baltimore ‘s Daughters—Friends Stitch Past to Future,” an inspiring exhibit of quilts created in the Baltimore Album Style; and “Celebrate Spring! 2011,” a Judged Show in which the theme is the season of renewal.
This year, Festival’s Quiltmaking Academy will be host to more than 60 classes, luncheons, and special events with a faculty including some of the quilting world’s most well-known and respected teachers.
“There are always new ideas and techniques to be learned in the classroom, but you can also learn a lot just walking through the exhibits area and admiring the incredible artistry represented in the quilts on display,” Bresenhan adds. “Quilting has come a long way, and continues to evolve. If you haven’t seen the face of quilting lately, I’d encourage you to visit the show and see just what this remarkable artform is today!”
For more information about International Quilt Festival, please call 713-781-6864 or visit www.quilts.com. Show hours are 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Fri. & Sat. April 8 & 9, and 10 a.m.-3 p.m., Sun., April 10. Preview Night is 5-9 p.m. on Thurs., April 7, and admission allows one free additional day. Tickets are $10 regular daily, $8 students/seniors 65+, and $25 for a Full Show Pass.

Città della Pieve, Italy, 21st of March, 2011 – Is the perception of beauty man-made or is there such a thing as natural beauty? To find out, an Italian designer and an organic farmer came up with the idea of growing shirts, having nature design fashion. After a two year period of growths in the hills of Umbria, near the Tuscan border in Italy, the first harvest is ready for the catwalk.
When Francesco Mugnaini, a 31 year old designer who had previously been working in the busy city of Milan, met Sebastian Runde, a 41 year old Scottish farmer running an organic farm in Umbria, Italy, they merged their different backgrounds and experiences to come up with a rather unusual fashion project: let’s grow shirts. The unpredictability of nature was the seed for the idea, to plant and harvest shirts. The garments were exposed to nature’s forces by planting them into the ground and give nature time to do her unpredictable design process. The result is stunning and every single design unique.
The T-shirt was considered ideal, as it is one of the most simple garments existing, there could be no better for the project. It is unpretentious, simple, like an empty canvas on which nature can create its designs. Francesco designed a shirt which truly complements the body, idealises it even. “We aimed for a focus on the aesthetics created by nature, to offer a perception of beauty man would never be able to create. We produce beautiful shirts, but it is nature who makes them truly unique» says Francesco Mugnaini.
The materials used had to be of a kind which would react with the soil, the water or sunlight. Naturally no synthetic yarns could be used, as not to create a thread of pollution. After many tests, a high quality organic silk proved best and gave the most interesting results.
The silk shirts are produced by local craftsmen with great expertise. Sebastian Runde, as an organic farmer, is very passionate about his concern for the environment: “Producing the T-shirts abroad in a country with low labour costs was out of question. We looked for local recourses and were very lucky, indeed. We manage to produce a garment, which is 100% made in Italy. The yarns are coming from northern Italy, the shirts are produced locally in Città della Pieve.”
The first collection of RIGHT AS RAIN™ is harvested and up for sale on www.right-as-rain.com. An array of utterly different silk shirts for men and woman. 100% designed by nature.
If you would like more information about this topic, or to schedule an interview with Francesco Mugnaini or Sebastian Runde, please call at: +39 0578 299 777, cell: +39 328 0812 442 or write an e-mail to contact@right-as-rain.com, sebastian@right-as-rain.com.
March 20, 2011 – Carol’s Highly Expressive Nature Paintings Abound with Texture and Intense Color, and Are Perfect for Instilling Life into Any Ambience
Contemporary artworks can establish a focal point in interior design, enrich/ complement the dominant color palette chosen for a room, or even provide the inspiration for decorating an entire home. Modern art paintings can convey a variety of moods, while instilling a more personal and intimate feel to an interior, and all that with a relatively modest financial investment.
Decorating, wallpaper and paint costs can burn a hole in your budget, not accounting for labor costs and the many hidden expenses that can add up to a huge decorating bill in no time. By contrast, a piece of contemporary art is generally affordable, extremely easy to install, by far more appealing than regular paintwork, and above all, can add a sense of originality and style in an otherwise inexpressive setting.
Original art for interior design is something that reflects a person’s personality and individuality. Depending on your intended effect, you can either have it steal visual interest with its chromatic richness, or blend sympathetically with a room’s color theme and overall design. Regardless, original art design is a great way to personalize a room and instill life into any ambience.
To make your residence feel more like home, and for an added touch of color to your decor, consider opting for Carol Chipkin’s bright colorful cheerful art. An established nature artist, Carol’s portfolio mainly consists of decorative, floral themed pieces created using a number of different mediums. Carol’s nature paintings abound with texture and intense color, and blend in original techniques – like the use of layered tissue and textured materials for creating structure and unique shading effects – with popular ones – mostly pencil, ink, and acrylic.
About Carol Chipkin

She moved to Vancouver 17 years ago and says that living in a stunning city like Vancouver invigorates her, just as the creative process does, both soothing her spirit and clearing the noise of life for hours at a time. She has always been oriented to the more decorative with a passion for color, which probably originated during the time she was a textile designer. Her work is most frequently mixed media, and the colors used are vivid and strong, but without ever being brash.

Helen Spring’s novel now available at a low price.
Wirral, UK, March 10, 2011 — Helen Spring’s novel, ‘The Chainmakers’ has just been put on Kindle at a very low price. If you haven’t already read it, take advantage of this new format, it’s a gripping yarn.
Prefer the feel of a paperback? You can get it from Helen’s website http://www.helenspring.co.uk, where you can also sample a ‘quick dip’, but of course you’ll pay more…. this is a glimpse of the story….
Against a backcloth of the blistering heat and grinding poverty of the chainshops of the Black Country, this compelling love story charts the struggle of young Anna Gibson to forge a new life from the remnants of betrayal by her lover, and a tragic marriage of convenience.
A simple offer of work as an artists’ model proves to be the catalyst for complete change, taking Anna from the sunny beaches and liberal attitudes of an artists’ colony in Brittany, to the struggle to survive and make good in the immigrant community of downtown New York.
The lessons learned along the way serve Anna well, and she finds herself still making chains, but this time chains of restaurants, leading to wealth if not happiness. Then comes Prohibition, and Anna’s decisions involve her in a gangland feud which threatens her family and friends in a frightening web of intrigue and violence.
In the struggle to resolve her moral dilemma, Anna travels home to England, seeking to redefine the dreams of her youth. During her sad awakening to reality she discovers that the only chains to stand the stresses of time are the links of family and friendship, in which she has been extraordinarily lucky.
About the Author:
Helen Spring was born in the Black Country, in the industrial Midlands of England, like her parents and grandparents before her, and she still has many friends and relatives there.
After many successful years in business, Helen switched careers to concentrate on writing fiction. She now lives on the Wirral, where she is working on a sequel to ‘The Chainmakers’.
