A Station Wagon that Breaks the NORM!

PRLog (Press Release) – May 28, 2009 – The CTS Sport Wagon is an all new world class luxury vehicle from Cadillac. It’s the first Cadillac wagon ever, not including SUVs and has a dramatic design, offering a nice alternative to the classic SUV.  The CTS Wagon is available with a panoramic sunroof, integrated roof load management system, a six speed automatic transmission, all wheel drive, and the option to have 19-inch rims.  
Under the hood of the CTS wagon is not your normal station wagon power-plant.  A 3.6L V-6 direct injection engine with 304hp motivates this great looking wagon.  A 3.0L direct injection engine version of the 3.6 has become the base engine. This one is popular because of the 28mpg highway fuel economy it gets; but both engines will be offered with a six speed manual transmission or automatic with manual shift capability.
Although there are many options in choosing an engine, the real advantage in the CTS wagon is the cargo utility. The Wagon has 25 cubic ft. of space behind the second row. It also has split folding seats for accommodation of larger cargo. It also has an option of a power opening lift-gate with key operation. The interior is hand-cut and sewn and also benefits from Sapele Wood Accents, pop-up navigation, and a 40 gigabyte hard drive.  Estimated retail price is around $30,000 to $40,000 for a fully loaded version.

Skwoosh™, Manufacturer of Lightweight Gel Cushions, Announces New Travel Cushion for Pilots

PRLog (Press Release) – May 20, 2009 – I-Tek Inc. announces the expansion of their Skwoosh line of gel cushions. Skwoosh already offers an extensive line of gel cushions including camping seats, stadium and bleacher seating and canoe and kayak cushions.  Skwoosh has now made available a gel seat designed specifically for pilots and flight attendants.
Like the entire line of Skwoosh cushions, the pilot cushion reduces pressure on the ischial tuberosity, aka the “sitz” bones located at the lowest part of the pelvis, and helps maintain circulation and prevent numbness and discomfort in the legs and lower back. TekPad® Ultra-Lite gel, a temperature stable and non-toxic composite, gives Skwoosh cushions their unique ability to conform to the contours of the body.
The Skwoosh pilot cushion was designed with the needs of aviation professionals in mind. It fits all aircraft seats – even those with a central harness attachment – and has a non-skid bottom so that the cushion stays in place throughout the flight. The Pilot’s Seat has a low, ½” profile and can be easily stowed in a carry-on bag, briefcase or chart case. The pilot cushion can also be hung from a roll-on by loops attached to the side of the seat.
Ted Brother, CEO of I-Tek, the parent company of Skwoosh performance cushions, recently attended the 2009 Sun ‘n Fun fly-in in Lakeland, Florida to introduce the pilot cushion to a group of receptive aviation industry wholesalers.
I-Tek, Inc. is a material design and development company focused on applying its patented TekPad light weight gel to commercial applications. I-Tek’s Skwoosh Performance Comfort Products division was started in 1999 to bring TekPad technology to the outdoor and back comfort markets. New product development centers on serving markets in which comfort, cushioning and pressure relief are essential to performance.

Leaving Day - Final Things to Remember

PRLog (Press Release) – May 18, 2009 – Removal Men
Much of your day is going to be spent liaising with the removal men and making sure that the logistics of the move all goes according to plan. All your boxes and other containers should be placed on an inventory and you should tick off each box one by one as they get loaded onto the removal van making sure that the boxes get loaded onto the van in the correct order. You should give the removal men the directions to your new home and do a final check throughout all of the rooms in your house to make sure that they haven’t forgotten to load anything onto the van. It’s often a good idea to walk around the house with the leading removal man as they are very used to the kinds of typical things that people tend to overlook.
Remember, they carry out removals day in, day out whilst you’re only likely to do this less than a handful of times in your lifetime and, with all the stresses and the ‘million’ other issues which will be floating around in your mind, it’s hardly surprising if you tended to forget something. One of the most common things people will tend to forget is any clocks on the wall. You may have been glancing at them all day from time to time but many people overlook them when it comes to finally getting on the road. Also make sure that you exchange mobile numbers with the removal company’s lead man so that you can get in contact with each other should any unforeseen problems occur on the way between your old house and your new one. Once the van reaches your new home, make sure you also check that all of the boxes and containers have been taken off the van and keep another copy of your inventory for this purpose. You’ll also need to instruct the removal men as to which boxes go in which rooms, alongside details of how and where you want any specific larger items, such as furniture or beds, to be situated.
Thirsty Work
Make sure that you have made provisions for a kettle and other drinks throughout the day for both your family and the removal men. Moving house is extremely thirsty work and keep some snacks handy.
Children and Pets
Before the removal van arrives, make sure that any provisions for young children and any pets have been taken care of if someone else is going to be looking after them elsewhere whilst you get on with the business of the removal. If you’ve not made these kind of provisions and you have relatively young children, situate them with some toys in a quiet corner of the house where they can stay occupied and out of the way. Older children can be used to provide additional help, for example, carrying their own boxes to the van or given other tasks such as making sure that each room has been cleared as boxes are stored onto the van. If pets are going to be present, you may need to reassure them more than usual as both dogs and cats can be particularly vulnerable at this time as their familiarity with their environment will be constantly changing as more and more stuff is packed onto the van. It’s a good idea to feed any pets early on in the day so that they’re less likely to suffer from travel sickness later when it comes to the actually move.
Final Checks
Once you have agreed that everything that is to be packed onto the removal van has been completed, do a final check of each room and don’t just restrict yourself to looking in wardrobes and cupboards. Look around each room and check walls and ceilings too as well as behind doors. It’s amazing how many people forget picture frames, clocks etc. Once you’re sure everything has been cleared, make sure you lock up all of the windows and doors before leaving to take the keys to the estate agents or to the new owners. Also, make sure that you've written down or made a note of your final meter readings for things like gas, electricity and water.
Once the Removal Men Have Unloaded Your Belongings
Once all the boxes and the rest of your belongings have been unloaded into your new home and you have verified everything is OK with the removal men and have given them the all clear that their job is done, the only final thing you need to do on your first evening in your new home is to get something to eat and make the beds – it will have been a long day and no doubt you’ll simply want to get a good night’s sleep. The unpacking can wait until tomorrow.
