IBOPE Inteligência: One in Five Voters May Choose Third Party Presidential Candidate; Libertarian Johnson at 4%

Sunday, May 27, 2012 12:00 PM

A Conservative-Leaning 3rd Party Candidate Has Strongest Appeal

Utica, NY (PRWEB) May 27, 2012

One-fifth of likely voters say they would be likely to vote for a third party candidate in the upcoming presidential election, a new IBOPE Inteligência survey finds, but the main candidate vying for that spot, Libertarian Gary Johnson, only garners 4% when pitted against President Obama and Mitt Romney.

The interactive survey finds 20% say they are either very likely (8%) or somewhat likely (12%) to go with a third party candidate in the race for president, with independents (38%) being more receptive to the idea than Republicans (16%) or Democrats (9%).

When voters are asked what ideology they would most prefer a third party candidate to hold, 26% choose someone more conservative, followed by 18% who say more libertarian, 17% who say more liberal, and 14% who say more moderate. Twenty-one percent say they would never vote for a third party candidate.

Romney leads the three-man race with 46% to Obama’s 43% and Johnson’s 4%. Johnson gets 6% of the Republican vote, 8% of independents and less than 1% of Democrats.

Johnson is viewed favorably by 18% of voters and unfavorably by 19%, while 61% are not familiar enough with him to have an opinion. Johnson wants to make marijuana a legal and regulated product. That stand makes 30% say they are less likely to vote for Johnson and 26% more likely. It makes no difference to 41%.

IBOPE Inteligência onducted an online survey of 2,075 likely voters. The margin of error is +/- 2.2 percentage points. A sampling of IBOPE Inteligência's online panel, which is representative of the adult population of the US, was invited to participate from May 18-21. Slight weights were added to region, party, age, race, religion, gender and education to more accurately reflect the population.

TLS Auto Recycling Now Selling Used Parts for Lexus RX 300

Sunday, May 27, 2012 1:00 PM

TLS Auto Recycling made used parts available for Lexus RX 300 from engines to transmission and other parts.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) May 27, 2012

Sold from 1999-2003, the RX 300 was a Lexus crossover SUV, consisting of two generations; one compact generation and two categorized as mid-size. Although it is currently out of manufacture, the vehicle has enjoyed long-term popularity, as Edmunds.com notes by saying, “Lexus knows what its customers like and seldom slips up when it introduces a new model. This solid competence was exemplified by the company's RX 300 luxury midsize SUV. As one of the first entries in the crossover luxury SUV segment, the RX provided a high seating position, available all-wheel drive and generous cargo capacity but without the typical truck-based SUV side effects of poor fuel economy and a stiff ride.”

Because of this solid fuel economy, the RX 300 was marketed as a car for long road trips, and that, combined with the fact that it is no longer in active manufacture, means that finding parts for lexus rx 300 can be a hassle. Most consumers do not want to spend the money to buy a new part, or, worse, an entirely new vehicle. What should drivers like this do when a part breaks in a beloved RX 300?

The classic solution is to buy a quality, tested, used part, and TLS Auto Recycling is here to meet that need. TLS Auto Recycling has established itself as an integral part of the green movement by requiring that all parts undergo a rigorous in-house test, and shoppers can save up to 60% on OEM parts for their RX 300s. Why look to any solution other than TLS Auto Recycling for a used RX 300 part?

He was one of a handful of beta testers for the first edition of Audition in 2003.

In the Learning Adobe Audition Video Training Tutorial, Sengstack guides users through two studio recording sessions using Audition. As they perform hands-on tasks in the Audition workspace, students learn important skills as Sengstack explains Audition essentials point by point. Finally, all the tools are brought together as viewers produce, along with the author, final versions of their work, learning publishing protocols for various audio formats.

The Audition CS6 training also covers the program's unique editing features, including the spectral pitch display for more precise correction, real-time clip stretching, and automated mixer controls, all of which contribute maximizing the quality of sound files within the program.

Sunday, May 27, 2012 7:00 AM

The Minor League Baseball team Omaha Storm Chasers is for sale and they want angel investors to help buy them. The Omaha Storm Chasers is working with Midwest Investment Network to find the group crowd funding needed in order to buy the team.

(PRWEB) May 27, 2012

When browsing most investment network listings, proposals generally will be calls for investors to become involved in the funding for small business plans or company expansion. However, sometimes business angels are needed for a more niche proposal or investment plan. When browsing the Midwest branch of Angel Investment Network, investors will be surprised by the diversity of entrepreneurs and small business owners registered on the site, the wide variety of sectors and markets included within the network, and the creativity of the proposals listed. It is certainly not your average investment network.

Recently, the Omaha Storm Chasers, a Minor League Baseball team located in Omaha, Nebraska, have used sites such as the Angel Investment Network in their search for potential investors to purchase the team. The Omaha Storm Chasers features and has featured several major league prospects for the Kansas City Royals, has a fantastic legacy as a hard playing team, and is a member of the Pacific Coast League as well. The team states on the network’s website, “The Omaha Storm Chasers, the AAA affiliate of the Kansas City Royals, is up for sale and we're putting together investors to buy it.”

This interest in seeking multiple investors to come together for a large investment goal is known as crowd funding, a form of business fund raising that has become popular in recent years through digital media. Many businesses in entertainment, arts and cultural media are choosing to use group funding as their primary source of capital, which has led to the growth in this form of investment’s popularity. The general success of this form of fund raising has been well documented all throughout the web and news.

Midwest Investment Network allows entrepreneurs to cater their business proposals to whichever investment strategy they prefer, whether it is seeking crowd sourcing, a team of active investment partners, or a single silent, or “hands off”, investment partner. Businesses owners, entrepreneurs, and even baseball teams are using the network to make the most of their business goals and to obtain investment capital. Contacting a business angel or angel group could be a real home run for any prospective business.

Jaded Ibis Press Expands to Post-Text Literature

Sunday, May 27, 2012 7:00 AM

Innovative publisher will move into immersive fiction, poetry and creative nonfiction

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) May 27, 2012

The multimedia company Jaded Ibis Productions and its imprint Jaded Ibis Press announced today that a new project-based initiative will begin research and development on the convergence of literary art with immersive technologies. Recognized for its innovative books and business model, Jaded Ibis expects the long-term project to focus primarily on Brain Computer Interface technology and creating a new narrative form.

“Anyone paying close attention can see that text is in decline,” said owner and founding publisher Debra Di Blasi, who is presenting on the topic in June at the &NOW Conference, Sorbonne University, Paris, and The International Conference on the Book in Barcelona. She predicts that gesture-, voice- and brainwave-controlled communication and entertainment will grow in acceptance and popularity, eventually pushing aside text-based literature.

“Rather than bemoan the loss of the creatively written word,” Di Blasi stated, “Jaded Ibis asks what exactly is being lost, what should be lost, and what should we fight to keep. More importantly we’re asking, Why do we create? What are the fundamental and intricate patterns of the process that is ‘life’ and how do aesthetic systems fit within those patterns?”

Jaded Ibis is forming a think tank to feed philosophical and practical ideas into the products that the company plans to produce. To date, members or associates include innovative writer and professor Alexandra Chasin whose iPad novel, Brief, will be published by Jaded Ibis in 2012; visual artist and art historian David Crismon; innovative writer and computer designer Janice Lee; game designer James Portnow of Extra Credits; architect Mark Shapiro; multimedia artist Ben Stagl; and Jaded Ibis editor and poet Sam Witt. The company is currently searching for a computer engineer who also has a background in and appreciative understanding of the fine arts.

“Profound art and intellectual mystery,” said Di Blasi, “lead to ecstatic experiences and more complex realms of thought embedded in the human condition – a condition built into our physiology. We simply don’t see this level of ontological engagement in the games or virtual worlds being produced now. Goethe said that the decline of literature signifies the decline of a nation. We can’t stop the trajectory of technology’s influence on our lives, but we can give it a more exalted purpose.”

Jaded Ibis Productions will continue publishing innovative books in multiple formats, including print, and producing original music soundtracks for every book title. The company directs business and philosophical decisions with an attempt to perpetuate literature that is intellectually, culturally and ecologically sustainable.

This will minimize the use of ‘MeetMe’, allow direct implementation of more demanding transfer functionalities and reduce processor load. Asterisk allows Q-Suite to offer functionality within its contact center suite that far exceed other leading contact center and unified communications platforms. Indosoft has benefited immensely from the growth of Asterisk”.

The Brides are Shopping for Dresses While the Bridesmaids are Shopping for Fun

Sunday, May 27, 2012 7:00 AM

Innovative Bachelorette Parties Are on the Forefront of this Season's Maids-Of-Honor.

Duluth, MN (PRWEB) May 27, 2012

The days of inviting Aunt Agnes to play dice games and pass gifts are gone. Chippendale dancers are passé. Bridesmaids are departing from tradition to spice up the blushing bride's last days, and nights, of freedom. Unique bachelorette party themes, games and venues are this year's rage. Racy, an e-tailer of party supplies, is experiencing almost 30% growth this spring. Racy.com's Marketeer, Jonathan Thralow, gives full credit to Bachelorette season being in full swing.

Party themes range from the tame traditional to flashy fun and all the way to sexually risque. Thralow gives credence to the rising trend of spicy sisterhood socials. "Our Naughty Confetti is our top selling party decoration. The Bachelorette Wiggly Penis Tiara and Inflatable Pecker Decorations come in at number three and four. Now if that's not leaning toward a swanky party motif, I am not sure what qualifies." "I think the parameters for what is socially acceptable is expanding, and Bachelorette party planners are taking advantage of it. Everyone wants their hosted party to be the most exciting and memorable," comments Thralow. "The party's goal is to be a gathering of last opportunities and no future regrets."
In keeping the concept true, party games have followed suit. Pin The Macho On The Man has been a running Racy.com favorite for a few years now. "This item actually stays at the top of our sales charts year round," confesses Thralow. "It is our best selling item amongst all our categories." Our second best selling Bachelorette party game is the Pecker Toss. Do you see a theme here?" Thralow chuckles. Racy.com expects to see their sales throughout the summer to continue to beat out last year revenues. Their niche based products seem to be just what the bridal shower, and bachelorette party hostesses, are looking for.
Decadent locales, that cater to nearly everyone's pallet, have New York (NY), South Beach/Miami (FL) and Las Vegas (NV) topping the charts, according to The Travel Channel and Lastbash Blog. Everything from spa visits, shopping and downtown clubbing make the list.

For those Stagette Sponsors that have minimal time and lots of money, one can even enlist the assistance of a party planner. Entire shindigs can be conceived, created and purchased with the click of a mouse on sites like FireFly Events. Earn your "Maid-Of-Honor" award, and write one for the history book of your next bride, by staying on the cutting edge of Bachelorette party trends.

Racy Inc. is dedicated to allowing people their sexual freedom through the sales of its sexual aids and exotic clothing. Racy Inc. features everything from costumes and toys to gag gifts and party supplies at its online store, Racy.com

Buykeywordarticles.com is Raising Awareness of Content Solutions to Satisfy Google Penguin

Sunday, May 27, 2012 7:00 AM

With the recent Google Penguin update on April 24, 2012, many businesses were hit with penalties for over-optimization of SEO articles. In an attempt to solidify their standing in the article writing services industry, Buykeywordarticles.com is raising awareness of their quality, "Penguin friendly" content through the use of their blog, product pages, and home page.

Washington Terrace, UT (PRWEB) May 27, 2012

In any industry, change is inevitable. On April 24, 2012, the internet marketing world was rocked with yet another Google update: Google Penguin. While many companies have seen the negative effects of this change, article writing services authority Buykeywordarticles.com has experienced the opposite effect; they have become even more relevant. Buykeywordarticles.com stresses high-quality, original, SEO articles and has done so since its inception in 2009. They are currently raising awareness of how their quality content can help businesses and corporations avoid the content penalties that are given out with each Google Update.

"Quality content is something that we've been preaching since the day we got into this business", stated Greg Secrist, CEO and founder of Buykeywordarticles.com. "While most content writing services are going into a panic mode after this most recent Google update, our teams here are bracing themselves for a large influx of orders. We've always placed the quality and effectiveness of our content over that of cheap production. We understand that quality content is the only type of content that will get you ahead in this industry, and that is what we strive to produce."

The Google Penguin update has had the most profound effect in these key areas:

The overuse of exact-match domain names
Stuffing keywords in links; both inbound and outbound
Overly-aggressive exact-match anchor text links
Duplicate content, low-quality SEO articles, and blog spamming

While there are many other speculations of how the Penguin update has affected the internet marketing industry, content seems to be at the core of it. Low quality content produced by non-English writers has been punished for over-optimization, poor readability, and duplication issues.

The Buykeywordarticles.com blog is an active tool that is being used to promote the dangers of low-quality content, and the benefits of original, correctly optimized article writing services. Weekly updates give readers helpful information on the latest updates in the SEO content industry. Included in these blog posts are links to other areas of the site that provide content solutions for businesses and corporations looking to restore their online reputations.

29 Prime Introduces New Reputation Management Services

Sunday, May 27, 2012 12:00 PM

Search Engine Optimization specialist 29 Prime has announced that it is planning to provide online reputation management services to business owners and individuals.

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) May 27, 2012

Local business search engine optimization provider 29 Prime has quickly become a leader in the SEO industry and is looking to expand into other markets. The company believes that they can further enhance their customer experience by providing a wider range of online marketing services, but their goal remains the same: To provide a top-notch product at an affordable rate, backed up by unparalleled client support.

Although SEO can be very helpful for increasing a business’ online visibility, it is not always true that any publicity is good publicity. If the information that exists is negative it is more likely to hurt a business than help it. Negative reviews, false information or an irate former customer can ruin a company’s reputation and have a very real effect on its bottom line. With this in mind, 29 Prime has announced the creation of an entirely new branch of its organization that specializes in providing reputation management services for the company’s small business clients.

With so many outlets making business ratings readily available to the public, reputation management has recently experienced unprecedented growth as an industry. It involves the promotion of positive content about a business while simultaneously suppressing negative publicity. With an increasing number of Internet users researching companies online before patronizing them, a company’s online reputation has become a more important factor than ever. Similarly, negative content found online can sour a business’ client base or keep individuals from getting jobs. 29 Prime’s reputation management customers can expect a solution tailored to their individual needs.

While 29 Prime has focused on providing business-to-business services in the past, reputation management will be offered to both businesses and individuals. The SEO firm is in the final stages of testing their service with a selection of trial companies, and expects to formally offer this reputation management to the public in June of this year.

Business owners or individuals who are interested in learning more about 29 Prime’s services can visit the 29 Prime website or call for assistance at (949) 777-6616 for information on their local search results package.

ABOUT 29 Prime

29 Prime is a leading innovator in the Search Engine Marketing industry. Fueled by the proprietary Prime Marketing PlatformTM, their service is geared toward optimizing small and medium-sized businesses for the most popular search engines in order to increase visibility and customer traffic. It has grown in record time to become the premier SEO provider in Southern California, and is currently implementing a massive expansion of its sales force.

Call to Repentance, Distress in America, Philadelphia U.S.A. Mentioned by Name

Sunday, May 27, 2012 7:00 AM

Dr. David Owuor, recognized by the global church as the the LORD's end-time prophet, recently stated live in a packed Toronto Canada pastor's conference that "judgment is about to fall in America", and a "very dark day is going to dawn.” Specifically, the prophet said that he heard and saw, "Philadelphia and a tall building with smoke.”

Washington D. C. (PRWEB) May 27, 2012

Dr. David Owuor, recognized by the global church as the the LORD's end-time prophet, recently stated live in a packed Toronto Canada pastor's conference, April 29, 2012 that "judgment is about to fall in America", and a "very dark day is going to dawn.” Specifically, the prophet said that he heard and saw, "Philadelphia and a tall building with smoke.”

“These are the days of distress prophesied and seen by Daniel the prophet in Daniel 12:1.”

The prophet quoted 2 Chronicles 7:14 and says that the LORD is loving the land of America. "If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and turn away from sin, I will hear, says the LORD."

On August 23, 2011, Dr. David Owuor warned specifically of the U.S. earthquake live on Jesusislordradio.info and international radio five hours before the shocking earthquake that struck Washington D.C., and the east coast of the United States.

In addition, he prophesied judgment to the United Stated southern coast in July 2005 several weeks before hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans repeating the call to repentance from sexual sin, lying, and the prosperity gospel. See the video of the Prophet's exact words dated July 20th, 2005 in Nairobi, Kenya at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgl7cOVjxxY

Then as now, the LORD is calling for national repentance in the United States, from the White House, Stock Exchanges and Hollywood to the politicians, corporate leaders, and especially the church (the bride of Christ). This call to repentance by Dr. Owuor was given live on air, on jesusislordradio.info and recorded here at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_utwge9M0Y

Pastor Louis Lupo of Maryland Altar says, "given that the Prophet speaks for the LORD, and his accuracy and message of repentance and of holiness is evidence thereof (Deuteronomy 13:1 and Deuteronomy 18:15) America should soberly and seriously receive the national call to repentance.”

Many of Dr. Owuor's fulfilled prophecies can be verified and found online for free at http://repentandpreparetheway.org and http://jesusislordradio.info.
Prepare the Way, the Messiah is coming!

Your Holiday Promotion Opens a New Marketplace for Special Travel Deals and Offers, Promises Free Listings as a Launch Incentive

Sunday, May 27, 2012 7:00 AM

Recently unveiled at yourholidaypromotion.com, Your Holiday Promotion is a direct-sale commission-free marketplace of special travel deals and offers. As a launch special, listings are free through September.

Hong Kong (PRWEB) May 27, 2012

With a view to becoming the largest and most trusted holiday clearinghouse on the web, Your Holiday Promotion now connects local travel-industry merchants directly with travel agents and independent travelers shopping for deals and special offers.

The brainchild of Wahid Ghazal, a successful travel professional with more than 30 years of experience, the new company was established in response to the high volume of email traffic from travel service providers blasting out advertising specials. Through Your Holiday Promotions, local merchants can instead display special product in a central travel marketplace where anyone can review their offers, still with no middlemen or transaction fees.

"Emails are a very efficient and low-cost way to sell - and a lot of the offers I receive are great - but they upset recipients who don't like receiving unsolicited messages," commented Ghazal, now CEO and Chairman of Your Holiday Promotion. "I kept thinking 'If only there were an unintrusive way to reach interested buyers.' Well, now there is. Your Holiday Promotion has been designed to have all the benefits of email blasts with none of the disadvantages. This includes reaching a much wider audience than the trade-only communications typical of promotion in the past."

Just as merchants pay to advertise in a print publication or to rent a stall in a physical market, they pay a small fee to display a special travel product or service on Your Holiday Promotion. Whether they're holiday home owners, tour operators, restaurateurs, accommodation providers or travel agents, as little as US$10 a month buys them a means to put information directly in front of travelers searching for interesting deals all around the world.

However, as a launch special and no-commitment opportunity to test the service, Your Holiday Promotion is offering regular listings to merchants at no fee until September 30, 2012, and homepage listings at no cost until July 31, 2012.

Your Holiday Promotion has also joined forces with the WHL Group, the largest local-travel company in the world. Already having worked with Ghazal and his team for many years, the WHL Group jumped at the idea of assisting small local suppliers, an ethic in keeping with everything the WHL Group does, and adding a new channel to market for them.

"Wahid Ghazal and his team have an amazing knowledge of running travel businesses and have always been extremely professional in the way they do things, a level of diligence we know they will bring to Your Holiday Promotion," remarked Len Cordiner, CEO of the WHL Group. "When they asked if we would like to team up with them on this idea, we liked it so much that we have taken some equity in the company and will work with them as one of the WHL Group companies, providing both technical and marketing support."

"In our experience in the travel industry, every day we see interesting promotions coming in from local suppliers all around the world," concluded Ghazal. "These are not the big multinational tour operators and travel wholesalers/retailers who dominate the airwaves, but smaller local providers who, in many cases, are suppliers to the bigger groups but earn very little from them. Your Holiday Promotion offers these local suppliers a chance to sell directly to travelers, without the middlemen, so that you get great deals and they earn a little more themselves. It's win-win... unless you are one of the large middlemen of course!"

About Your Holiday Promotion
Unlike most travel sites, Your Holiday Promotion is not a commission-earning middleman, but a clearinghouse where local travel- and leisure-sector suppliers list their specials and promotions. It targets travel agents and the traveling public wishing to shop directly from suppliers. Your Holiday Promotion is owned and operated by a team of travel professionals from North America and Asia, in partnership with the WHL Group, the largest local-travel company in the world.

Crooked Brook Prints Custom T- Shirts for Chef Waldy Malouf’s Newest Restaurant 'High Heat' in NYC

Sunday, May 27, 2012 10:00 PM

Chef Waldy Malouf, Co-Owner/Chef of Beacon in New York City reaches out to Crooked Brook to print the t-shirts for his newest restaurant called “High Heat”. Malouf, a 1975 graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, has over 30 years experience in developing and managing successful food and beverage operations.

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 27, 2012

Crooked Brook has been asked by Waldy Malouf, Co-Owner/Chef of Beacon in New York City, to print the t-shirts for his newest restaurant called “High Heat”.

The t-shirts are Sand, Gildan, G200 6.1 oz. Ultra Cotton® T-Shirt made in 100% preshrunk cotton. The High Heat logo will be printed large on the back of the t-shirt and a small locomotive will be printed on the left chest.

Although the most popular method of printing t-shirts is screen printing, Crooked Brook t-shirts are printed using Direct to Garment Printing (digital garment printing or DTG) which is the process of using inkjet printers to print an image directly onto t-shirts without the use of screens like with screen printing, which requires a lot of setup e.g., creating screens for each color.

In addition, DTG printing uses eco-friendly, water soluble ink, unlike some screen printing methods that layer Plastisol (a suspension of PVC particles in a plasticizer) on top of the t-shirt. The only requirement for DTG printing is for the image to be high resolution, resulting in photograph quality printing with no setup fee or minimums for custom t-shirts.
About Waldy Malouf

Waldy Malouf is the Co-Owner/Chef of Beacon in New York and High Heat is the first restaurant opened of a three restaurant concept offering pizza, burgers and wine and beer on tap. The wine will be on tap in efforts to 'go green' and eliminate some use of plastics.

Fellows and Associates Attend the 134th INTA Conference

Sunday, May 27, 2012 7:00 AM

Fellows and Associates reflect on their recent visit to Washington DC for the Annual International Trade Mark Attorney Conference.

Wakefield, West Yorkshire (PRWEB) May 27, 2012

As tradition dictates Fellows and Associates attended the 134th Annual International Trade Mark Attorney Conference in Washington DC last week. The conference acts as a meeting point for Trade Mark Attorneys to come together from the four corners of the world and discuss topical matters, network and receive training.

One might wonder why this UK based recruitment firm attends this event.

The answer is simple, networking. “As a recruitment firm we find that a lot of our business and the way we are perceived are based upon other peoples’ recommendations. Like any other business, word of mouth is essential and it is another very easy way of advertising”, Researcher for Fellows and Associates Sienna Joha l explains. “Intellectual Property is a niche market and having a global network of not only colleagues but friends is an excellent way of sustaining links and maintaining business.”
Pete Fellows, Managing Director of Fellows and Associates adds “As a small firm it is important for us to have a presence at these events. As far as we know we are the only recruitment firm that attend INTA every year and that gives us an excellent starting point to develop and expand our network. Although we do enjoy the social side of INTA, we are able to witness the business advantages of going to an event like this brings. We have seen a direct relationship to long term growth and we have found in the past that people have been in contact several years after meeting us.”

So what was a day at INTA 2012 like?

The start is early, normally around 9.00 in the morning, and the day doesn’t end until around 2.00AM the following day. A typical schedule will involve moving to and from numerous receptions and having to successfully juggle a few double bookings. Despite the long days, painful feet and constant networking INTA is regarded as the highlight of the social calendar for many Trade Mark Attorneys and others that attend. “We are privileged enough to enjoy events at some of the most prestigious venues in these cities and all in the name of work”, says Sienna Johal. “ INTA is a great experience and as a first timer it was an amazing way to be initiated into the world of Intellectual Property. There is a lot to be said from hearing first-hand about the job market and the differences in legal systems across the world. It all forms the basis of research.”

Fellows and Associates are already looking ahead and planning their next trip to the Korea for the annual AIPPI conference in November of this year, this reporter wonders where the globe trekking firm will go next.

Fine Treatment Recommends New Safe Thermobalancing Therapy to Replace Potentially Harmful BPH Drugs and Surgeries

Sunday, May 27, 2012 7:00 AM

Men with prostate enlargement should consider natural Thermobalancing Therapy as a new effective alternative treatment for prostate enlargement that helps to avoid BPH drugs' side effects and complications from prostate removal procedures, Fine Treatment reveals.

London, UK (PRWEB) May 27, 2012

Depending on the stage of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the recovery time with this therapy varies. For instance, the weakness and frequency of urination, i.e. the main symptoms of BPH, ease firstly in daytime and then at night too. Dr. Allen’s therapeutic device helps to improve the condition of the prostate gland gradually by decreasing its size over time. The following video done by the Oxford Innovation Centre http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5xidswhxJM presents medical evidence describing how this natural therapy has reversed BPH.

Current mainstream prostate enlargement treatments include various medications which may cause a number of side effects. This is why the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recommends having a “watchful waiting” stage when BPH is diagnosed: “If your symptoms don’t bother you too much, you may choose to live with them rather than take pills every day or have surgery.”

However, medical researchers are concerned that people are taking drugs without knowing the health problems they can develop in the future. The article titled Legal Drug-Pushing: How Disease Mongers Keep Us All Doped Up, published recently in the Atlantic News, highlights that people can be over-diagnosed and it can be done on purpose, i.e. to sell more medications. So everyone needs to know about drugs' and surgeries' potential harms, as well as that the new Thermobalancing Therapy is free from any side effects and effectively helps to stop the prostate growing further.

“Unlike BPH drugs and surgeries, the Thermobalancing Therapy treats the organ by maintaining constant warmth in the prostate tissue locally without exceeding the level of the normal body temperature,” says Dr. Allen. “Dr. Allen’s therapeutic device should replace the unsafe treatments of benign prostatic hyperplasia, such as BPH drugs and surgeries.”

About Dr. Simon Allen and Fine Treatment:
Dr. Simon Allen is a highly experienced medical professional. His specialty is in the internal medicine and cardiovascular field, and he has treated patients after a heart attack with coronary heart disease, with kidneys problems, including kidney stones disease, prostate and spine conditions. Fine Treatment exclusively offers Dr Allen’s devices for coronary heart disease, prostate treatment: chronic prostatitis (CPPS) and BPH, to dissolve kidney stones, for upper and lower back pain and sciatica relief.

Sports Shoe Viral Web Video Produces 9 Million Views in 3 Days

Sunday, May 27, 2012 8:00 AM

The release of global athletic company Nike’s web video advertisement “My Time is Now” has produced overwhelming numbers, reaching 9 million views in only 3 days. Using this type of advertising makes the most of new web video marketing to increase viewers exponentially. Online marketing and web video expert, David Jenyns of Melbourne Video Production says, “It’s clear, web video has found a permanent place in online marketing and if you aren’t using it – you’re going to be left behind.”

Melbourne, Victoria (PRWEB) May 27, 2012

Last week, global athletic wear company Nike, created a web video frenzy with the release of their new advertisement “My Time is Now.” The YouTube video hit 3 million views in only three days and features an all-star cast of footballers. The video release coincides with the beginning of the Euro Cup and, as of today, is currently nearing 13 million YouTube views.

Businesses are becoming more familiar with web video as a means to get their advertisements straight to their target audience, with major international retailers now re-focusing their marketing dollars in online advertising.

“The ease at which viewers can watch and share web video ads helps produce these kinds of astounding numbers,” comments David Jenyns, marketing expert and creator of Melbourne Video Production, “if they like a video, they simply click a button to share it with their friends or post it on Facebook.”

At this fast pace, the lengthy Nike ad will surpass their previous viral success “Write the Future,” which was released in 2010 and topped out at 28 million YouTube views.

“I’ve been producing web videos for years now,” Jenyns comments, “and learned quickly it’s one of the very rare forms of marketing where customers are happy to promote the advertisement direct with their friends and family, in a blink of an eye.”

Other multinational companies, like Old Spice (a men’s fragrance company), have produced viral videos with great success, which have even spurned off copycat web videos from fans. But, viral web video isn’t just for large corporations with deep pockets.

“Any business can produce an effective web video advertisement,” says Jenyns, “and most people already own the equipment required to get started.” With a majority of new mobile phones having built-in video cameras with interfaces that allow the user to automatically upload the recording into YouTube, it means web video marketing is now open to everyone.

By using YouTube as the venue to distribute web video ads, the playing field for business marketing has been levelled. It’s no longer a matter of purchasing prime-time television spots, or paying thousands of dollars for full page ads; all you have to do is upload to YouTube.

“Even at the most basic level, it’s better to have something in video format online,” explains Jenyns, “than nothing at all.” David Jenyns’ company Melbourne Video Production specializes in packages for small to medium businesses, making web video production accessible to all budgets.

“It’s no coincidence that large companies like Nike are using web video to market themselves” comments Jenyns, “it’s cheap, effective and fast, and it’s time for small to medium businesses to follow suit.”

Surviving Martial Law: When Things Get Out of Hand, Article Says “40 Days and 40 Nights” will Guide the Way

Sunday, May 27, 2012 8:00 AM

Surviving martial law can be a daunting task, unless the "40 Days and 40 Nights" training course is taken to heart.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) May 27, 2012

Surviving martial law may become a realistic concern, as political and economic controversies become increasingly violent and tense. AbsoluteRights.com published an article today that said martial law is a disaster that can be just as devastating as any hurricane or tornado. What’s worse, a situation calling for martial law means citizens are causing the destruction themselves, with blatant disregard for societal safety.

To help people prepare for such scenarios, Absolute Rights is offering an exclusive members-only training course entitled “40 Days and 40 Nights.” It’s the type of survival guide that can be applied to any number of disasters, and it informs people of all the necessary preparations they need to take to keep themselves and their families out of harm’s way.

Some may scoff at the possibility of martial law, but the online article said it is in fact a true reality. It’s real, it’s dangerous, and it could happen for a variety of reasons. With the current state of U.S. political concerns, the article said there’s no denial that the situation can’t be too farfetched. Emergency preparedness planning needs to be done to address these real threats, whether people believe they’re going to occur or not.

Thankfully, the article said “40 Days and 40 Nights” will provide people with the steps they can take to fend for themselves and become fully self-reliant should basic comforts like food, clean water, or electricity supplies be interrupted. The six separate training modules, all located on the members-only “40 Days and 40 Nights” webpage, are each devoted to a different survival skill to keep people as ready as they can be.

The training course also shares valuable psychological survival techniques, because having a clear mind is just as important as having a supply of food, a camping knife, or a power generator, said the article. “40 Days and 40 Nights” gives members the three tips to psychological survival, as well as the suggestion to focus on what they can control, and stop worrying about what they can’t.

Absolute Rights informs patriotic Americans on their given rights, plus helps protect those rights from government or disaster intrusion. Most importantly, it prides itself on alerting people when their rights are being threatened, creating an active and informed community. For more information, be sure to visit AbsoluteRights.com.

Absolute Rights is always looking out for personal safety and well-being, which makes “40 Days and 40 Nights” a sort of capstone program that gathers as many survival techniques as possible and delivers them in one convenient place. If surviving martial law is something that raises concern, then the article said “40 Days and 40 Nights” will provide all the information needed to get through it.

How to Invest in Oil with Confidence and Determination with Special Report

Sunday, May 27, 2012 8:00 AM

Finding out how to invest in oil isn't as hard as it seems with Absolute Wealth's Special Report.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) May 27, 2012

Traders have been hoping to find out how to invest in oil ever since the fracking movement picked up speed and started to influence the world’s fossil fuel supplies. According to today’s AbsoluteWealth.com article, it is turning into a proven energy industry sector that could put tons of Americans back to work and restore the economy. There’s a contingency of fracking companies set to explode in value when the demand for their extracted oil and natural gas increases, and the article said some will be ripe for the investment picking.

Absolute Wealth is helping people learn about the potential in the fracking industry with their Special Report “Sideways Oil: How “Fracking” is Re-Establishing the U.S. as an Oil Power and How You Can Profit.” Inside the report, investors can learn about the history of fracking, which while not new, has recently become a significant part of the energy economy. The article said that in the last several years, new technology and equipment has allowed fracking companies to access even more of the precious fossil fuels than previously obtained.

“Sideways Oil” also alerts investors to the stocks related to fracking that hold the highest potential for profits. There are some that are attractive on the surface, and the article said others that need to be researched and determined as worthy investments. The Special Report talks people through the process of choosing their investments wisely and potentially cashing in on some serious company earnings.

Those companies are putting more resources and effort into fracking to tap the massive amounts of natural gas found in underground shale rock formations, said the article. The drilling procedure starts vertical, then moves horizontal, hence the “Sideways Drilling” concept. America happens to hold some of the biggest collections of shale rock. All over the country, new and expanded drilling is happening on an almost daily basis.

It’s easy to see the potential with not only drilling companies, but other businesses that are related to the process by providing new technology and more efficiency. While the rest of the world struggles to access the oil they need to run their cars and power their cities, the article said America is working its way towards energy independence.

Using Pinterest for marketing is something every business should be doing, and Digital Marketer is helping with their RAW Training.

If a business has yet to realize the amazing traffic-driving potential of Pinterest, then Digital Marketer is going to show them some magic tricks.

The latest RAW Training session, created for Digital Marketing Labs members, is based on Pinterest best practices. “Pinterest for Marketers: Pin It to Win It” is a webinar given by DM social media wiz Kate Buck Jr. It shares all the most important aspects of the site while providing innovative ways to bring users from Pinterest directly to a company’s site as a new and totally free way to generate traffic.

The social web is undeniably becoming more visual, said the online article. Images and videos are dominating the general direction of the web, and having a graphic presence can help businesses on a lot of levels. A quality image-driven strategy is becoming one of the most important parts of a company’s marketing technique, the article said.

That’s exactly what Pinterest does; it forces a visual nature with its image collecting and pin board-style layout. The article said visual corporate identity doesn’t just mean a logo, but also typography, icons, photography, and ultimately, storytelling. “Pinterest for Marketers” explains how to execute such a strategy to move from engagement, to a site visit, to a prospect, and to a customer. It gives marketers Pinterest traffic tips that start working almost automatically, said the article.

And with so many users, there will be no shortage of prospects. Pinterest broke the record for fastest standalone website to reach 10 million unique monthly U.S. visitors, the article said. Only Facebook and Tumblr have more social media time on site.

OnlineCashAdvance.net Introduces New Free Content

Sunday, May 27, 2012 4:00 PM

Consumers Now Have an Inside Line on Cash Advances

(PRWEB) May 27, 2012

Visitors to OnlineCashAdvance.net, a leading payday lending website, will now find a new addition in the form of an educational article entitled “Get Money When You Need It With Low Cost Payday Loans,” which explains how readers can apply for and obtain a payday loan without worries or difficulty.

“At OnlineCashAdvance.net, we make it easy for people in a difficult financial situation to access the money they need in a day or less,” says company spokesperson Allison James. “We don’t have credit score requirements and we don’t make borrowers jump through a lot of hoops in order to get their money. When somebody is already under stress because of financial difficulties, the last thing they need is to deal with delays and lots of paperwork.”

When potential borrowers visit the site, they are asked a series of questions to determine whether they qualify for an online cash advance. Loans are only available to U.S. citizens or permanent residents who can meet a few basic requirements. Among these are that they must earn at least $1,000 a month after taxes, be at least 18 years of age, and have a bank account in their name.

OnlineCashAdvance.net serves as a bridge between borrowers and a network of reputable lenders. Once a loan applicant has entered all of their information into the site’s simple, brief application, an answer is provided in minutes. If the loan is approved, visitors can then choose a lender from a list of preapproved, prescreened companies. There is no pressure and no fee until the person accepts the loan.

Loans are directly deposited into the bank account provided on the borrower’s application, usually within 24 hours or less. Repayment is usually automatic as well, with the money taken directly from the same account on the borrower’s next payday. For many borrowers, the convenience and speed of payday loans is their main benefit. Borrowers looking for an online cash advance are trying to solve urgent problems and generally cannot afford to deal with the long waiting times associated with traditional lenders such as banks and credit unions.

With the addition of this new informational article to the company’s website, visitors to OnlineCashAdvance.net can now fully understand the lending process before they decide to proceed with a quick payday loan. The information provided will help answer customers’ questions, so they are able to make smart decisions to deal with overstretched finances.

New Web Design Brings In More Donations For North Idaho Aids Coalition

Sunday, May 27, 2012 7:00 AM

Less Than Two Weeks After Completion Of New Web Site, NIAC Receives Sizable Donation. Reason They Were Chosen – “We found you on the internet.”

Coeur d'Alene, ID (PRWEB) May 27, 2012

Tom Viola, Executive Director to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA) announced that a $5000 Grant was given to the North Idaho AIDS Coalition in honor of a BC/EFA volunteer from Idaho who now makes his living as a stage manager in the theatre community in New York City.

After going through the list of over 400 AIDS and family service organizations BC/EFA funds across the country he wondered why no group “from home” was ever chosen. Viola Googled Idaho AIDS services…and found NIAC. Fortunately, NIAC just had their website re-designed and optimized for search results. Previously, they did not even rank on Google. Now they have the #1 spot on page one.

NIAC falls within the perimeter of BC/EFA’s National Grants Program that takes place annually in June. NIAC is now eligible to apply for annual support from BC/EFA’s National Grants Program in the future. NIAC is extremely grateful to BC/EFA for this incredible opportunity to help with the fight against HIV/AIDS in Northern Idaho.

North Idaho Aids Coalition (NIAC) is a non-profit, 501-C3, Idaho Corporation and community based organization that began in 1989 as a support group for people with HIV, their families, friends and loved ones. NIAC grew from a single part-time staff position to multi-staff/multi volunteer positions.

NIAC is funded by individual and group donations, community fund raisers, as well as funds from regional and national resources, such as the Idaho Family Planning, STD and HIV Programs, Idaho Housing and Finance and the Ryan White Care Act. To make a personal or corporate donation visit northidahoaidscoalition.org/donate

Donations help with community outreach, education, and prevention like: HIV 101 education classes, World AIDS Day Programs and Activities, and Distribution of Safe Sex Kits and Condoms. NIAC also offer community support referrals, financial assistance referrals, and case management for those infected with HIV/AIDS.

NIAC is partnered with Panhandle Health District to offer free rapid HIV testing to targeted, high-risk individuals in our community. NIAC performs the Clearview HIV ½ Stat-Pak Rapid Test. This rapid HIV test result is ready in 15-20 minutes and performed using a small finger prick of your blood. The Clearview HIV Test identifies HIV antibodies in the sample of your blood. This test is very accurate; however, additional testing is necessary to confirm a reactive result.

For more information contact NIAC at 2201 Government Way, Suite L Coeur d'Alene, ID 83814, by telephone at (208)665-1448 / Toll Free#: (866)609-1774 or visit http://www.northidahoaidscoalition.org

President Obama’s Advisory Council’s Choices Hurt Entrepreneurs – Small Businesses and May Confuse Children, Parents and Teachers

Sunday, May 27, 2012 2:20 PM

Sammy Rabbit and the It’s a Habit team explain how the recently issued President Advisory Council on Financial Capability Tool known as “Money As You Grow” hurts entrepreneurs and small businesses and how it may cause confusion among children, parents and teachers.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 27, 2012

“It is alarming the President Advisory Council on Financial Capability (PACFC) recently issued Tool titled "Money As You Grow" (http://www.moneyasyougrow.org) has disclosure notices at all when other Tools like those developed by the Jumpstart Coalition, NEFE and mymoney.gov do not,” said Sam X Renick, a nationally recognized expert in the field of financial education for youth, creator of children’s character Sammy Rabbit, and founder of the It’s a Habit Company (http://www.facebook.com/itsahabit). “It is also hard to understand why the website has an information notice explaining the President and PACFC's role in this Tool, as well as a disclosure notice regarding the general nature of the information being provided by the Tool, yet the Poster when printed has neither.”

“As stated in a prior press release (see reference 1 below), Sammy Rabbit and the It’s a Habit Team have numerous questions regarding the Tool.”

“Another issue that lacks clarity relates to the Council “developing,” promoting and asking others to promote its Tool. That appears unusual since Councils typically advise and do not enact. It appears from the Tool’s website and Executive Order 13530 the Council is authorized to advise on ways to promote financial capability versus actually developing tools to promote it.”

“Development is generally the type of work contractors of all sizes compete for, normally subject to Federal Procurement Regulations, under Full and Open Competition, to a specific set of standards or requirements. The Federal Procurement process and Regulations are highly structured and disciplined. And, they rightfully distinguish between research and testing. Testing is also an issue with the Tool’s development. It is unclear what testing the Tool in its present adapted form has undergone. I suspect the U.S Military would not promote planes nor would parents promote baby aspirin that had been drawn from research but had not been tested in its current adapted form. This specific issue could easily be resolved by identifying on the Tool’s website the testing, language and sentence trade off studies and outcomes the Tool has undergone and produced. The process that permitted this Tool to be issued appears not only poor from a development perspective but it is extremely unfair and disadvantageous toward entrepreneurs and small businesses because Full and Open Competition was not solicited.”

“Being a good consumer requires one to compare, contrast and ask lots of questions before buying, embracing or promoting anything. Yet, the Council and members of the media are asking consumers, users, and potential users to embrace and promote the Tool before comparing, contrasting and asking lots of questions.”

“Although others may not agree, which surprisingly include U.S. News and World Report’s “Alpha Consumer” (see reference 2 below), Sammy Rabbit and the It’s a Habit team are advising users, potential users, and consumers of the Tool to compare, contrast, and ask questions before they use and promote the PACFC Tool.”

“What the Tool and reporting both need, are more clarity, transparency, testing, etc.”

Honesty and Integrity: Choosing a Plumber

Sunday, May 27, 2012 5:20 PM

Mr. Rooter's Daily Tips: Ten specific things that every business or homeowner should rely on when choosing a plumber.

(PRWEB) May 27, 2012

“Plumbing is not a easy trade,” according to Bob Beall, president of Mr. Rooter Plumbing in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Beall’s reputation with his family owned business is impressive. Established in 1970, Mr. Rooter is the largest all-franchised, full-service (no sub-contractors) plumbing and drain cleaning company with approximately 300 franchises worldwide. The Southwestern Pennsylvania area serves 3.5 million customers; it is the largest plumbing company in the world,” according to Beall.

The Mr. Rooter Media Center offers free plumbing expertise through the newly launched Mr. Rooter LIVE chat. “I get a wide range of questions regarding the products that we service which range in age from brand new to over a hundred years old,” says Mr. Rooter. Beall is the most referred plumber in Beaver, Cranberry, Pittsburgh, Sharon, Washington and Westmoreland Pennsylvania and Youngstown, Ohio.

Mr. Rooter offers customers, both residential and commercial, the only free second opinion guarantee in the plumbing industry. According to Beall, “when a need arises for any plumbing repair, it usually means a crisis for the customer. Questions range from: no hot water, the noise from the toilet kept me up all night, my bathtub is clogged I have raw sewage in my basement, to engagement rings lost down the sink and even baby ducks to rescue from drains. Mr. Rooter’s reputation in the plumbing industry has and will remain, that an excellent service plumber must be able to show up at the job, meet with the customer, diagnose the problem, put a monetary value on the repair and then resolve the plumbing issue to the customer’s satisfaction.

The consistency of Mr. Rooter’s excellent customer service remains Beall’s top priority. The value that Beall places on the need for an honest plumber with integrity and expert knowledge is behind the new Media Center with daily free plumbing tips and the live chat that Mr. Rooter monitors personally. Beall says he “occassionally” sleeps, so allow a 2-4 hour window during the hours between midnight and 5:00 a.m., EST.

Mr. Rooter’s Tips On What Makes A Good Plumber

1) Be present at all times.

This may sound obvious but it is by far the most important. Customers must know that when they need a qualified plumber, Mr. Rooter will be there. Plumbers must be present and accessible at all times. Mr. Rooter’s phone 877-ROOTER-2 is answered by friendly, knowledgeable and efficient representatives 24/7. Any question posed through the live chat is answered by Beall personally.

2) Treat each case individually

Mr. Rooter may hear the same complaint or problem over-and-over again, but each individual customer is treated as such. The way one person feels about a particular problem (and its solution) will vary dramatically.

3) Follow through

Mr. Rooter doesn’t make promises that it can’t keep. It’s easy to appease a customer with grand ideas and promises, but if the plumber can’t pull them off, trust will be lost. When Mr. Rooter promises delivery by a certain time, it happens.

4) Learn from every customer

Mr. Rooter takes each complaint as a piece of advice and works on it; this has built a stronger and well respected company. When customers see changes made because of them, they trust that they are with a company that they can trust.

5) Put your best ‘people person’ on the front-line

No one wants to deal with a short tempered unenthusiastic employee at the best of times… especially when an emergency presents itself and the customer needs help. Mr. Rooter chooses local customer service representatives carefully. Mr. Rooter’s voice of the company is always approachable and reflects the Mr. Rooter brand accordingly.

6) Do not pass the buck

Mr. Rooter does not pass the customer from pillar to post. No matter how difficult the situation is, customers know that they can contact Mr. Rooter personally.

7) Keep things simple

Mr. Rooter doesn’t confuse the customers with too much jargon or terminology that may not be understood. Every customer is entitled to three things: free estimate, free second opinion and clear communication.

8 ) Be public

Mr. Rooter’s Media Center established a public space (LIVE chat online), and answers it publicly. Future customers trust the open response to an issue.

9) Training

Mr. Rooter has staff members that are fully trained and aware of what’s involved when it comes to excellent customer service. They know that a customer call could come through to anyone on the Mr. Rooter team. This awareness of excellent customer service is imperative with the Mr. Rooter brand.

10) Know your company backwards

The person who deals with customer complaints must know the company backwards and be able to answer any question knowledgeably. As a customer, there is nothing worse than speaking to someone within a company who knows less than the customer making the call.

BONUS TIP: Bob Beall Offers 10 Water Wise Garden Tips here.

Mr. Rooter is available 24/7 by using the LIVE chat feature located here!
There’s A Reason They Call Us Mr.™

Due to such positive engagement, Horton Group has decided to extend its Logo Re-Design Contest until June 22nd of 2012. Business owners and entrepreneurs now have an extra three weeks to submit their old logos for the chance to win a free logo makeover.

Nashville, TN (PRWEB) May 27, 2012

Horton Group announces the extension of their Logo Re-Design Contest for another 3 weeks due to positive feedback. Now businesses have until June 22nd to get in on the chance to win a logo makeover. Horton Group offers a full array of marketing and advertising services including web & print design, web development and social media management along with other highly functional creative options to enhance any business’s brand. To enter the contest simply upload your company’s logo through the Horton Group Facebook page.

There are a number of factors that will be taken into consideration when deciding the winner of the contest. Not only is Horton Group looking for a business that will benefit the most from a new logo design, they also want to be shown why the company deserves a fresh new branding image. The winner will need to display dedication to growing their brand and providing the best service possible through an established set of business goals. Submissions will no longer be accepted after Thursday, June 22nd so make certain Horton Group receives your materials by then if you want a chance to win.

“Going over all the submissions has been a lot of fun and somewhat of a learning experience for all of us,” stated Horton Group graphic designer Jason Hapney. “There is more to this competition than just helping a lucky business out with a free logo design. We understand your logo plays an important role in driving your brand and increasing your overall recognition. The contest lets us connect with other members of the business community and at the same time help a well deserving company grow and make a positive impact on the overall economy. In the end everybody comes out a winner.”

The logo contest is part of Horton Group’s initiative to build a stronger presence in already emergent social media outlets, as well as their local community. Horton team member Isabel Ross added, “Online social communities like Facebook and Twitter are the perfect vehicle for connecting with the public and other businesses in nontraditional ways. Like a logo, the way you use social media as a professional organization speaks volumes as to how people perceive your brand. It provides an opportunity to break through the on-the-surface image of your business and promote engagement.”

Horton Group began as a web development and web design company in 1996 and has since expanded its services to cover a variety of areas utilized to help business and organizations develop effective communication strategies. They offer expertise in multiple areas of marketing and advertising including: social media management solutions, email marketing, search engine optimization and media buying.
