SAINT AUGUSTINE, Fla., Feb. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- The e-Holster(R) from
Personal Electronics Concealment is a revolutionary personal electronics
accessory that lets "real men" and "real women" wear their personal
electronics "technochic" and conveniently access them when needed. A little
"Edgy," a little "Gangsta," a lot functional, the e-Holster provides the
increasingly necessary function required by the "Web Lifestyle" of comfortably
wearing from two to four personal electronics items inside of a very flexible
yet protective black neoprene or black leather
e-Pouch(TM) with safety straps.

As Bill Gates so clearly stated in his book "Business @ The Speed of
Thought" (Warner Books, Inc.), "Information technology and business are
becoming inextricably interwoven." Within this virtual reality, the
e-Holster(R) has been created to facilitate the "Web Lifestyle" which Mr.
Gates envisioned by keeping personal electronics where you need them, when you
want them. No more digging around in your briefcase, pocket or purse for your
wireless phone, pager or PDA. e-Holster(R) keeps personal electronics
personal.
Both e-Holster Professional models, the Basic EHBP model (e-Holster Basic
Professional -- constructed of high-quality synthetic holster material) and
the Leather EHLP model (e-Holster Leather Professional -- constructed of high-
grade leather) are unisex, available in black only and one-size-fits-all. All
e-Pouches are ambidextrous, equally accommodating both left and right handed
users. The e-Pouches are modular and can be added, deleted or moved from side
to side simply by snapping and unsnapping from the e-Harness. Each e-Pouch
can be adjusted on the e-Harness, and the e-Harness itself can be adjusted to
meet not only the users' specific needs but anatomy as well.

Two New e-Holster(R) Models Now Available
1. The e-Holster Basic Professional model (EHBP), currently available
only in black, is comprised of an e-Harness made of durable synthetic holster
material and two neoprene/wet suit material e-Pouches, one for a wireless
phone and one for a Palm Pilot or other brand of PDA (Personal Digital
Assistant). The neoprene wireless phone e-Pouch is designed to accommodate
wireless phone heights, widths and thicknesses ranging from the miniature
Motorola StarTac(R) brand up to the full-size Sprint PCS brand phones with an
Internet browser. Retail price $59.99 plus state tax and shipping.

2. The e-Holster Leather Professional model (EHLP), currently available
only in black, is comprised of an e-Harness made of high-grade leather and two
leather e-Pouches, one for a cell phone one for a Palm Pilot or other brand of
PDA. The leather wireless phone e-Pouch is designed to accommodate wireless
phone heights, widths and thicknesses ranging from the miniature Motorola
StarTac(R) brand up to the full-size Sprint PCS brand wireless phones with an
Internet browser. Retail price $99.99 plus state tax and shipping.

Introducing A New Way To Wear Personal Electronics on Your Belt
Now with the addition of the e-BeltSnap Leather (EBSL) attachment
consumers have the ability to wear individual personal electronics on their
belts, horizontally, instead of vertically (typically very uncomfortable
because it works against the body when sitting) in a protective e-Pouch. This
is possible because of the modular design of each e-Pouch and the e-Holster
system in total. The EBSL will retail for $14.99 and enable a user to wear up
to two e-Pouch units on the belt.

Future e-Pouch(TM) Applications -- Because They Are Modular, All Simply
Snap On To Any e-Holster(TM) or e-Harness(TM) or e-BeltSnap For The Belt
1. MP3 Player
2. Wallet
3. Pager
4. Eyeglasses
5. CD Player
6. 2 CD Jewel boxes
7. Cassette Player
8. 3 Cassette Tapes
9. Windows CE computer
10. Keys
11. Personal electronic security products
12. Digital or regular camera and/or film

The main benefits of the e-Holster(R) are as follows:
1. Projects an image of high-tech fashion
2. Enables easy access to personal electronics increasing their
functionality and facilitating the "Web Lifestyle."
3. Enables an individual to comfortably carry a variety of personal
electronics without a briefcase.
4. Eliminates the discomfort and lack of accessibility to personal
electronics when carrying multiple personal electronics on a belt,
around the waist, and especially when in an automobile with seatbelt
fastened.
5. Protects personal electronics from damage and theft.

As the e-Holster(R) has been designed by two of the leading "concealment
experts" in the U.S., the e-Holster(R) can be worn under a coat for business
without noticeable bulges or can be worn casually over a T-shirt or blouse
with comfort. The e-Holster makes a very strong fashion as well as a
technology statement about the wearer.

Java 360 degree view and the ability to purchase online, can be accessed at

Today's Fashion Can Be Tomorrow's Pain Posted by BeautyCare.com
Today's Fashion Can Be Tomorrow's Pain

According to the American Chiropractic Association looking your best might not always be the best thing for you. Today's society is extremely fashion and style conscious. Unfortunately, clothing designers and stylists aim to please by
creating unique looks that might not always be practical or even comfortable.
Models in high heels and tight skirts or pants have perfected the runway
"walk," but the popular looks and accessories are frequently impractical and
could create leg, back, and spine or neck problems. "Sometimes I see a woman
walking down the street with high heels and a two-ton bag, and I want to stop
her and make her aware of what she is doing to her body," said Dr. Jerome
McAndrews, national spokesperson for the American Chiropractic Association.
Women generally wear high heels to complement an outfit, not for comfort,
but some might not realize that these shoes can cause serious discomfort in
the feet and can also exacerbate back pain. High heels alter the balanced
position of a person's body. When a woman wears high heels, a new dynamic
equilibrium occurs. Dr. McAndrews compared the musculoskeletal system to a
child's ceiling mobile, hanging in dynamic equilibrium, each part balancing
the other. If one part becomes 'fixed,' the whole system will compensate with
a movement or restriction. Essentially, wearing high heels for any length of
time increases the normal forward curve of the back and causes the pelvis to
tip forward. This alters the normal configuration of the pelvis and spine
necessary for the body to maintain a center of gravity.
"The legs are the foundation of the musculoskeletal system, and a person
standing flat-footed or bare-footed would be completely balanced," said Dr.
McAndrews. "While standing, the hamstrings are taut and both parts of the
pelvis are stabilized so that the support is normal. By bringing the heel up,
you encourage the shortness of the hamstring muscles."
Women and men alike fall into the fashion trap. However, women, more than
men, tend to wear clothes that are too tight. Stylish tight tube skirts and
tight pants can be attractive, but are often too restrictive. Clothes that
are too tight throw a person off-balance, and simple everyday tasks such as
bending, sitting and walking become difficult. "Tight clothes restrict a
person from moving comfortably, resulting in poor posture and misalignment of
the spine," said Dr. McAndrews.
Another unhealthy fashion statement is the use of heavy purses, backpacks
and handbags. Women and men tend to carry too many items in one bag or
briefcase, and are often not aware of the potential health risks associated
with toting an excessive amount of "stuff." Carrying a bag with detectable
weight-more than 10 percent of your body weight-can cause improper balance.
When hiked over one shoulder, it interferes with the natural movement of the
upper and lower body. "The person carrying the bag will hike one shoulder to
subconsciously guard against the weight, holding the other shoulder immobile,"
said Dr. McAndrews. "This results in the unnatural counterbalance movement of
one shoulder and little control over the movements of the arms and legs. Even
worse, the spine curves toward the shoulder."
Many men carry their credit cards, ATM cards and personal identification
in the back pocket of their pants. This might be a convenient way of carrying
the necessary items with you each day, but carrying your wallet in the back
pocket of your pants can cause discomfort. Dr. McAndrews suggested men remove
their wallets or other items before sitting for long periods of time.
"Sitting on your wallet or card holder for the entire day will create a pocket
in the muscle lying underneath the wallet, and whether your pants are tight or
loose-fitting, this can result in discomfort or pain."
In today's society, it might be important to you to look fashionable, but
it is more important to choose clothes, shoes and bags that are comfortable
and that suit your style. The American Chiropractic Association urges you to
follow these simple steps to look and feel your best.

* Choose comfortable shoes. If you must wear high heels, bring a pair
of flat shoes along with you to change into should you become
uncomfortable. If you walk to work, wear flat shoes and change into
your more fashionable shoes when you arrive to alleviate any pain or
discomfort.
* If the shoe is uncomfortable while standing, chances are it will not
be any more comfortable while walking. The wrong shoe can affect
the body's center of gravity.
* Choose supportive shoes. Designer spikes or non-supportive loafers
may look nice but do not allow for easy, symmetrical walking.
* While sitting, whether or not you are wearing heels, it is important
to take frequent stretch breaks to alleviate atrophy of the
hamstring muscles.
* Avoid excessive wear of tight pants or clothing. If you prefer
tighter clothes, choose styles that allow you to perform daily tasks
with ease.
* Select a briefcase or purse with a wide adjustable strap. Ideally,
the strap should be long enough to place over the head. This evenly
distributes the bulk of the weight across the body.
* When carrying a bag, or briefcase, switch sides frequently to avoid
placing the burden of the weight on one side of your body.
* Take the time to empty unnecessary items from your bag.
* Place all necessary items-such as wallets and cellular phones-in the
front pockets of the bag. Stretching around to reach for your
wallet can result in a pulled neck or back.
* If you are driving or sitting for long periods of time, remove your
wallet or card holder from the back pocket of your pants.
* Think about your daily tasks. If your clothes affect your
movements, consider outfits that fit your lifestyle.

Designers and stylists tend to be more concerned about the way something
looks rather than the way it feels. Listen to your body. One of the most
important aspects of being in style and looking your best is to maintain
healthy judgment. By following simple suggestions, being fashionable can be
comfortable.

Chiropractic Care Can Help ...
If the pain persists, see a doctor of chiropractic. The goal of a
chiropractor is to manipulate, or adjust the spine and help stimulate your
body's natural healing process.
