With their piles of torn movie stubs, burned out DVD players, and hundreds of Video-On-Demand purchases, the REELZCHANNEL staff set about quantifying the past decade in movies. Tens of thousands of movies later, 100 remained. Presenting the REELZCHANNEL 100, the Top 10 Movie Lists of the Decade.

Today marks the second of our lists with the Top 10 DVDs of the past decade. Bonus-footage discs, restored classics, and special-editions you didn’t even know existed are all on the list. And hey, with holiday shopping in full swing, use the list to pick the perfect gift for that movie fan in your life who says they’ve seen it all. We bet their movie collection lacks coveted DVDs like The Godfather (The Coppola Restoration) or the stunning Blu-Ray edition of Disney’s Planet Earth.

Leonard Maltin kicked off our 10 days of listing on Monday with his 10 Hidden Gems of the Decade, movies that missed the Hollywood hype but still delivered movie gold. Take Chop Shop, about the life of a 12-year-old orphan boy raised in car repair shops in Queens, New York. Or Frozen River, the Oscar-nominated movie about a woman on the brink of giving up who finds herself smuggling people across a frozen river between New York State and Quebec.

Be sure to watch Hollywood Dailies on REELZCHANNEL weeknights at 7pm as we introduce a new list every day, counting down the first five on each list, then go online to http://www.reelzchannel.com for the final top five.

Pauline’s Antiquest is now featured a collection of vintage Valentine Day items

Alameda, CA (PRWEB) February 16, 2012

Pauline’s Antiques, providing the finest antiques in Alameda, focused on antique and vintage Valentine’s Day items during this year’s holiday.

Given the popularity of mass-produced and handmade Valentine’s Day items that have been gifted since the early 1800s, this commercialized holiday has become one of the most collected due to a recipient’s habit of saving these perishable tokens of affection. This creates a boon for today’s collector.

“The history of Valentine’s Day dates back from the ancient Roman fertility festival celebrated every Feb. 14 of each year,” Michelle Kelley of Pauline’s Antiques said. “In the fifth century, the Roman Catholic Church adapted Feb. 14 as the feast date of St. Valentine, a martyred priest who performed marriages despite a ban on marriages imposed at that time.”

One interesting aspect of the legend of St. Valentine is that he was martyred on Feb. 14. It was not, however, until a thousand years later that people began to associate love with St. Valentine’s Day, according to http://www.go-star.com. At first, non-poetic types hired poets to craft love letters for their sweethearts, but by the late-18th century, printers began producing the modern precursor to today’s greeting card. By the mid-19th century, the commercialization of the venerable holiday was in full swing, and the printed Valentine’s Day card all but usurped handwritten letters.

The traditional Valentine comes in many shapes and sizes; from delicate laced paper folding cards to intricate geometric assemblage of sea shells, framed behind glass. One may find Victorian three-dimensional, die-cut chromolithograph from the 1890′s; German Honeycomb Paper-Puff from 1910; or handmade Valentine’s Day cards from famous people.

When it comes to scouring for unique antique collectables in Alameda, Pauline’s Antiques is the perfect venue. The store features an array of antique items, including everything from paintings and knick-knacks to vintage clothing and hardware. Serving its Alameda clientele for more than 50 years, the company specializes in exceptional customer service, unique collections and reasonable pricing.

For more information about any of Pauline’s Antiques’ products or services, call 510-523-9941 or view the antique company on the web at http://www.paulinesantiques.com. Pauline’s Antiques is located at 1427 Park St. in Alameda.

Jensen Beach, FL (PRWEB) February 14, 2012

Thanks to MWR’s dedication to providing an unparalleled selection of wedding bands, they are proud to introduce an enhanced selection of Celtic wedding bands for men in stainless steel and sterling silver. At Mens-Wedding-Rings.com, their user-friendly navigation invites visitors to “Shop by Collection” and peruse the latest styles of Celtic rings. As more of their customers look for rings that reflect their unique Irish heritage, MWR is pleased to offer only top quality Celtic knot rings that are designed to last.

In response to customer requests for a better selection of men’s Celtic wedding bands, Mens-Wedding-Rings.com has expanded its selection to include the latest designer Celtic knot ring in Argentium silver. Instead of choosing a casual Claddagh ring as a symbol of Celtic heritage, more men are seeking out a stylized version of the classic Celtic knot. Some of the wedding rings for sale at MWR are made by nationally known jewelry designers and include exquisite designs in precious metals. Men are attracted to this site for its incredible selection and low prices on an endless assortment of metals and styles, which now includes an enhanced selection of men’s Celtic wedding bands. MWR also offers the most popular contemporary metals to meet every man’s style.

Unlike many jewelry store chains and web stores who have added a few styles of religious rings, MWR is committed to offering an expanded selection that includes contemporary and alternative metals as well as larger sizes. Plus, many of their designer offerings have a comfort-fit design. This retailer prides itself on selling the largest selection of attractive and affordable men’s wedding rings on the Internet. Over the past two years, MWR has earned a reputation for their vast array of wedding bands from top-rated resources. A few of the savviest bridal editors have singled out this ecommerce retailer as one of the best resources for grooms-to-be.

One reason for the early success of Mens-Wedding-Rings.com is the owners’ dedication to making their inventory the most diverse and impressive assortment of men’s alternative and traditional wedding bands. With rings made from gold, platinum, silver and a number of alternative metals, their selection at MWR reflects the latest styles on the market today, all at affordable prices. Owners Roy and Judy Devine are always looking for a way to innovate by improving the shopping experience for their customers. Adding a greater variety of men’s Celtic wedding bands is just another way to accomplish this, just in time for St. Patrick’s Day.

According to MWR co-owner Judy Devine, “One reason that men are so attracted to our collection of men’s Celtic wedding bands is that they want a ring that makes a statement about their national heritage. By offering such a diverse selection of Celtic rings in metals such as sterling silver, Argentium silver and stainless steel, MWR is recognizing that these intricate “knot” rings are more than just a passing trend.” Instead of shopping for a traditional plain wedding ring, more men are choosing rings that express personal beliefs and nationality and MWR gives them an ideal way to do just that.

About Mens-Wedding-Rings:

Mens-Wedding-Rings.com is a niche online jewelry store for men’s wedding rings and bands. In this specialized retail environment, customers find the best quality men’s traditional and alternative wedding rings. From major designer bands in traditional and alternative metals to non-designer rings in stainless steel, titanium, tungsten, sterling silver and cobalt, Mens-Wedding-Rings.com is a one-stop source for men’s wedding bands and rings. Owners Roy and Judy Devine make it their goal to ensure their customers are completely satisfied, so they only sell high quality rings at excellent prices. All of their rings come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and their customers have come to expect the highest standards of service, selection and quality when they shop at Mens-Wedding-Rings.com.

Golden, CO (PRWEB) January 19, 2012

When planning a ski vacation, optimize time and money by creating a detailed plan ahead of time. Being a travel agent is not a prerequisite for making smart decisions. Line up key details before departure. Mountain Threads, a ski clothing rental company based in Colorado, provides some quick tips and tricks:

Choose a Resort –The Rocky Mountain Region sees by far the most ski traffic in the nation, and within this region, Colorado is at the top of the food chain. Within Colorado, there are 22 resorts to choose from. All resorts exhibit their own personality – whether it’s serious back-country, excellent groomers, cat skiing, or just a nice resort village, Colorado has it all.

Lodging – Every resort contains myriad property management groups. Utilizing them can be helpful, as they may provide meaningful lodging advice. Otherwise, visit the resort’s website and browse some of the available lodging options. Hint: staying away from peak seasons (Christmas/New Years, Presidents Week and Spring Break) may reduce cost and increase enjoyment with fewer crowds and shorter lift lines.

Getting Around – When renting a car, reserve an all-wheel-drive vehicle, preferably an SUV, as mountain roads do get slick. Alternatively, there are shuttle services available directly from airports to resorts. Hint: If staying in a resort village, having a car is not essential.    

Lift Tickets – Reserve tickets ahead of time to save money and the hassle of waiting in line upon arrival. Most tickets will decrease in price if booked for multiple days. Don’t miss the “kids ski free” option offered by some resorts. Hint: better ticket prices are typically found online.

Ski and Ride Schools – Ski and snowboard lessons are available for all ages and experience levels. For beginners, scheduling ski or snowboard classes can be very essential. There’s nothing worse than tumbling down the mountain all day, let the experts do their job. Schools typically accept kids as young as 3, so get them on the slopes early. For more personal sessions, look into private lessons of 1-6 people.

Equipment Rental – Make sure your party has reserved some equipment from one of the many retail shops at the resort. Renting in advance will assure that the equipment is ready to go upon arrival, but be prepared to spend some time at the shop for fitting. Advanced reservations typically yield discounted rates. Some shops offer kids equipment free with an adult rental.

Clothing Rental – Outfitting everyone with the appropriate gear will significantly enhance the quality of your trip. While purchasing new clothes can ring up a daunting bill, there are places to rent ski gear. Some shops rent ski clothes along with equipment, but the quality may be questionable. Finding shops that specialize in clothing is the best route. While they can be tough to find, rest assured they are out there. Also, make sure to pack (or order) good socks and long underwear (not cotton). Helmets are also a smart choice.

Activities – There is a multitude of fun things to do at a ski resort other than ski and snowboard. Ask for an event schedule when checking in to see if there is anything exciting going on. Explore less-traveled areas via snowshoes, sleigh rides or snowmobile tours. Make sure to indulge in some fine dining; resorts are full of world-class restaurants.

Acclimatization – When coming from near-sea level elevations, the effects of altitude may very likely be obvious (and might even affect the entire experience). Make sure to get a lot of rest and drink a lot of water; dehydration will only amplify the effects of altitude.

When it comes time to plan a ski vacation – go the whole nine yards to ensure the value of time and money spent. For those who have chosen the Rocky Mountain region as the destination of choice, Mountain Threads is a proven source of guidance for ski and snowboard vacationers, offering suggestions, references and experience in all the above categories. Not only is Mountain Threads one of the only companies to focus solely on ski clothes rental, they’re conveniently located in the Gateway to the Rockies, welcoming all visitors to the region with valuable advice.

About Mountain Threads

Mountain Threads is a ski clothing rental company based in Golden, CO. Carrying high-performance gear from reputable brands, Mountain Threads helps assure a warm and dry experience on the slopes. With convenient delivery and pick-up options, customers can arrange to have orders waiting for them at their resort accommodations. Learn more at http://www.mountainthreads.com.

Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) January 10, 2012

Vycor Medical, Inc. (“Vycor”) (OTCBB:VYCO) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, NovaVision Inc. (“NovaVision”) has acquired all the shares of Sight Science Ltd. (“Sight Science”) (http://www.sightscience.com). As part of this acquisition, Professor Arash Sahraie has joined NovaVision as its Chief Scientific Officer on a part-time secondment basis from the University of Aberdeen (http://www.abdn.ac.uk/research) for a minimum of five years. Prof. Sahraie will be responsible for driving NovaVision’s scientific effort to develop and validate pioneering technologies in vision rehabilitation for visual field defects resulting from brain injury. The acquisition will also create a long-term relationship with the University of Aberdeen, a leading medical research center, and NovaVision will have a first option to acquire all related visual field deficit technologies developed within the University over a five-year period.

Sight Science was established in 2009 based on the research of Professor Arash Sahraie at the University of Aberdeen. Sight Science, which is owned jointly by Prof. Sahraie and the University of Aberdeen, provides an interactive computer-based therapy called Neuro-Eye Therapy (“NeET”), which patients administer at home. To date, over 100 patients have utilized NeET. The Company has a meaningful patent portfolio with patents granted in the UK, France, Germany, Switzerland and Singapore. Prof. Sahraie has conducted extensive research on blindsight and residual visual processing after brain injury, and is highly regarded in the field.

Both NovaVision’s Vision Rehabilitation Therapy (“VRT”) and Sight Science’s NeET work on the basis that repeated stimulation of the blind areas by either bright patches of light (VRT) or the specific spatial patterns (NeET) can lead to increased sensitivity of the blind areas. Patients progress after VRT appears to be initiated at the blind and sighted borders whereas NeET results in changes deep within the field damage. Both therapies are able to demonstrate improvements in both visual sensitivity and activities of daily living. The two companies believe that their therapies are highly complementary.

Sight Science will represent a significant enhancement of NovaVision’s operations:

    Prof. Sahraie will further strengthen NovaVision’s Strategic Advisory Board currently made up of: Alvaro Pascual-Leone, Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School and Director of Research at the Cognitive Neurology Unit at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center; Jason S. Barton, Professor of Neurology, Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of British Columbia; and Jose Romano, Chief of Stroke Division and Associate Professor of Neurology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.

    NovaVision views NeET as a strong complementary therapy to its existing VRT, and the merged entity intends to be able to deliver a combined therapy in due course which NovaVision believes will enhance patient outcomes and potentially increase market adoption and revenue growth.

    Sight Science has a strong position in the UK and, together with NovaVision’s operations in Germany, the Company believes that the acquisition will considerably strengthen NovaVision’s ability to penetrate the European market and increase European revenues.

    A strong alliance is created with the University of Aberdeen and NovaVision acquires an option on all future related technologies for a period of five years developed at the university.

    Strengthens Vycor’s patent portfolio, and provides valuable additional patents for the development of NovaVision’s next generation of therapies.

David Cantor, the President of Vycor, commented: “We are delighted to be acquiring Sight Science, which we believe is a major strategic move and demonstrates our commitment to making NovaVision the “Gold Standard” in Visual Rehabilitation. We are also thrilled that Professor Sahraie has agreed to join us as NovaVision’s Chief Scientific Officer, bringing a wealth of knowledge and credibility in the field. He will work closely with NovaVision’s Strategic Advisory Board to drive the scientific development of our therapies, products and overall scientific strategy”.

Professor Sahraie, founder of Sight Science, commented: “Our two companies pride themselves in promoting technologies that improve life for those affected by blindness post brain injury. There is immense knowledge and expertise in both organizations and I believe this merger will enable the development of the next generation of innovative and pioneering technologies, leading to highly complementary therapies which would not have been available otherwise. I strongly believe that our combined therapies have the potential to become “standard of care” worldwide and to reach all those affected by visual field defect after brain injury.”

About Sight Science Limited

The Scientific Basis

It has been documented for over four decades that those losing sight after brain injury may still be able to discriminate visual targets presented in their blind field, and that they may or may not have any awareness of their ability to do so. This phenomenon is called Blindsight.

In a study published in 1994, Barbur and colleagues demonstrated that if a patient was much better in detecting visual patterns with specific properties. In scientific terms, this meant that not all visual information could get through an injured brain, but only specific stimuli could be processed. Furthermore Barbur’s study showed that both patches of light (uniform blobs), and spatial patterns of light and dark (gratings) could be detected within the blind areas.

The observations resulting from the Barbur study resulted in two approaches to exploring the rehabilitation of patients with visual field defects, both seeking to address whether a patient’s lost vision can be rehabilitated by increasing its sensitivity after repeatedly showing the patient patches of light or specific spatial patterns.

The first approach was followed by Sabel and colleagues and led to development of VRT developed at NovaVision. The second approach taken by Prof. Sahraie and colleagues and has led to development of Vision Rehabilitation Program (VRP) CE, used in NeET.

NeET

Prof. Sahraie and colleagues at the University of Aberdeen, continued the work of Barbur on spatial processing in cortically blind patients. He extended the previous findings to a larger group of patients. His first ten patient study showed that certain stimuli detection could be as high as 100% even when objects were shown deep in the blind area. To develop his Vision Rehabilitation Program (NeET), Prof. Sahraie developed a patented proprietary therapy which delivered the therapy in the same manner as NovaVision’s VRT on a computer in the patient’s home. The therapy is one of daily sensitization of the patient’s blind field and requires the patient to undertake a 25-30 minute daily task. The computer-based task determines the patient’s detection accuracy when a pattern was presented in conjunction with auditory signals. Simplistically, if the person did not see it, they would be at the same probability level (50%) as tossing a coin.

Prof. Sahraie’s therapy shows patterns at different locations within the patient’s blind field. His work has shown that although initially the patients perform at or above the 50% level, over time, they improve and eventually have very high percentage recognition. In addition, patients develop awareness of patterns presented, being able to report the presence of visual targets within their previously blind field. The program is interactive and, as the patients improve, the task gets more difficult by making the targets dimmer.

Hong Kong, China (PRWEB) February 17, 2012

According to the latest statistics released by the WTO, China’s exports accounted for 9.6 percent of the global total in 2009, up from the previous year’s 8.9%, enabling China to replace Germany as the world’s largest exporter. E-commerce, which can break the barriers of distance, language, time and cost, is playing an important role in driving the exports of Asian products, made-in-China ones in particular which are gaining increasing popularity.

Globally speaking, the core strength of e-commerce lies in its price. Higher inventory turnover rate and lower operating cost is a unique advantage against the traditional store channel. However, in the arena of international trade, price is only one side of the coin, with the other side being the competition in integrity.

For many international buyers, they would rather pay a higher price than receive fake goods or nothing for their money.

E-commerce is a solution to the long-standing issue of information asymmetry between buyers and sellers, however it also lead to a new issue: excessive options make it difficult for the buyers to make a choice. Is it safe to identify the best sellers by their gold and platinum titles or high rankings? The answer is negative. The reason is that the titles and rankings can be purchased from the e-commerce website managers. Not like the site tradetuber to focus on integrity In this case, the buyers are pushed into a passive position, doubting whether they can buy the best goods and fearing that they may be cheated by the buyers.

The existing traditional e-commerce modes, namely B2B and B2C, are catering for those members who have a strong financial strength and wish to spend money on high rankings, while these modes also tend imply that the best ranked suppliers are the strongest, assuming a definite relationship between money spent by the suppliers and their qualifications. However it is not the situation to the buyers’ expectation.

Then how can we achieve a win-win situation where the e-commerce platform not only helps the buyers purchase in an easy and efficient way, but also helps them locate the best products?

Now, TradeTuber, an electronic supplier community using an integrity index (the basis for result rankings and exposure), is emerging from Asia. Whether it is able to provide a better platform for the buyers and sellers is yet to be seen; however, it is certain that TradeTuber overtakes the traditional e-commerce websites as it puts emphasis on integrity for the development of its website. It aims to create an online commerce environment of safety, fairness and integrity. Through this community, the buyers can easily find suppliers with the industry’s most popular products while the risk of cheating is significantly reduced due to the integrity index mechanism. The index is based on five criteria, namely the certification of a third-party organization recognized by the international buyers, visitor traffic of their products on the website, comments of their peers and buyers, quantity of buyer inquiries and the matching degree of their key words. It is clear that the index puts premier suppliers at the top of the list through an objective selection and judgment based on the online community’s opinions. It provides convenience for the buyers and enhances the efficiency of their cooperation. On the other hand, the website also divides the buyers into general buyers and VIP buyers (who submit their past purchase record) to give the suppliers an idea of the buyers’ intent and needs.

In less than one year, TradeTuber (http://www.tradetuber.com) has built up a community of over 5,000 VIP buyers and over 1,000 quality suppliers, with its popularity and recognition on the increase.

In the 21st century, integrity as the basic quality of a merchant shall be valued as much as talent. We hope to see more integrity-oriented online trade platforms like TradeTuber to drive a healthy growth of the e-commerce sector.

Analysis of Oracle and Intel Earnings

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 13, 2012

As reported in a recent article by popular financial newsletter Profit Confidential, Oracle Corporation disappointed investors with its earnings results, but Intel Corporation slightly beat the Street’s estimates. According to Mitchell Clark, contributor to Profit Confidential, even though there has been mixed earnings among large-cap technology companies, the sector has traded higher due to reasonable valuations.

“We’ve had a very good start to the year and this bodes well for the near-term outlook,” says Clark. “We’re now in the lull between earnings seasons and the stock market will be focused on economic news and other factors.”

Clark also points out that policy action and statements by the Federal Reserve have been accommodating and, in his opinion, they may be part of the election year drive to pump up financial markets.

“It’s highly probable that this will be a good year for the stock market; it usually is during an election year,” says Clark.

Clark isn’t so worried about company fundamentals, as he points out that there are solid earnings, a decent corporate outlook, and improving economic news to go on.

“I’m more worried about the geopolitical nightmare of Iran and the other powder kegs in the Middle East. This to me is the most important investment risk for stock market investors this year,” says Clark. “It warrants a conservative portfolio stance and a healthy dose of protection, such as gold.”

Profit Confidential, which has been published for over a decade now, has been widely recognized as predicting five major economic events over the past 10 years. In 2002, Profit Confidential started advising its readers to buy gold-related investments when gold traded under $ 300 an ounce. In 2006, it “begged” its readers to get out of the housing market… before it plunged.

Profit Confidential was among the first (back in late 2006) to predict that the U.S. economy would be in a recession by late 2007. The daily e-letter correctly predicted the crash in the stock market of 2008 and early 2009. And Profit Confidential turned bullish on stocks in March of 2009 and rode the bear market rally from a Dow Jones Industrial Average of 6,440 on March 9, 2009, to 12,876 on May 2, 2011, a gain of 99%.
