(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 23, 2012 ) Merrick, NY – Service by the Merrick Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard turned out to be the ideal solution for a recent customer who was experiencing problems with her clothes dryer. The dryer was producing plenty of heat; yet, laundry was taking several cycles to dry. The Wizard provides professional dryer vent installation, repair and cleaning service to improve dryer efficiency and eliminate dryer fire hazards. Bob Dougherty, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, recognized the warning sign from the clothes dryer indicating restricted air flow. When he turned off the dryer and pulled it out from the wall he was not surprised to see the crushed, foil dryer duct and a large pile of lint. He explained to the customer that new dryer vent installation was critical as the crushed vent was not allowing heat and moisture to escape. Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.nassaucountyny.dryerventcleaningnow.com/) service technicians explain why this type of dryer vent system does not meet current safety standards. To ensure dryer safety and efficiency, the Wizard will only install a new dryer vent system made of rigid metal. Though failure to clean dryer vents is the major cause of dryer fires and poor dryer performance, proper dryer vent installation also makes a big difference. As he was leaving, Bob promised to follow up with the customer to schedule dryer vent cleaning service each year. “Even the very best dryer vent system needs to be cleaned regularly to ensure safety and efficiency,” said Dougherty. “Technology just hasn’t produced the maintenance-free dryer vent system.” Dryer Vent Wizard provides professional dryer vent service while educating his customers on the importance of dryer vent cleaning and proper maintenance. He advises his customers to check the dryer vent outside often to be sure it is working properly. “When the dryer is running you should be able to see the exhaust coming from the vent. When the dryer is not running, the vent should be closed. During colder seasons, make sure the vent is not frozen shut or blocked by drifting snow.” Dryer Vent Wizard specializes in commercial and residential dryer vent cleaning, repair and new dryer vent installation. Bob Dougherty serves residents and business owners in Nassau County, Merrick, Oceanside, Massapequa and nearby cities and communities.

(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 23, 2012 ) Massapequa, NY – The Massapequa Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard finds a problem with 9 out of 10 dryer vent systems he inspects. Bob Dougherty owns Dryer Vent Wizard of Nassau County. One of the most common mistakes he addresses is the use of vinyl, plastic or flexible foil dryer vent kits. The Wizard will perform a complete dryer vent inspection and if necessary, install a solid metal dryer vent system for safety and efficiency.” Bob Dougherty provides an important service while he explains the importance of dryer vent inspection and evaluation. “My job isn’t finished until my customer understands why I recommend they repair or replace their dryer vent system,” said Dougherty. “I do not try to sell an expensive and unnecessary service. I only recommend replacing a dryer vent system for fire-safety and dryer efficiency.” According to the Wizard (http://www.dryerventcleaningnassaucountynewyork.com/), the frequency of residential fires increases during the fall and winter months. This is also the time of year homes are closed up to keep the heat in, which contributes to carbon monoxide poisonings. The Wizard says consumers should have carbon monoxide detectors installed in their homes and make sure their gas appliances are properly vented. Like all fuel burning appliances, poorly vented gas dryers can produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in homes. In addition to being a fire hazard or carbon monoxide threat, poorly vented clothes dryers cost significantly more money to operate. Air flow is the most important function of a clothes dryer. A dryer vent inspection and airflow analysis by the Wizard will determine the steps needed to improve safety and efficiency for better dryer performance and a hazard free dryer vent system. Wizards across the nation are on a mission to educate consumers and encourage public awareness on dryer fire prevention and energy savings. Dryer Vent Wizard only works on dryer vent systems so they are the experts to trust. With 60 locations across the US there is sure to be a Wizard in your area.

New Trends Developing in Do it Yourself SEO by Dev8

(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 23, 2012 ) Orlando, Florida - If there was one thing that could be pointed to as the ever present constant in SEO, it would have to be that the rules of the game seem to be continually changing. So what works today may not produce as well next year and then the following year something entirely new may come around to become the next hot new trend. Then keeping up with the latest proven effective SEO techniques is made all the more difficult by the fact that there really is no rule book on the subject. So it's a constant game of hit and miss as SEO gurus and Internet marketing strategist collaborate to discover by trial and error what works and what doesn't. At the same time though, to bring a little sanity to this quirky guessing game there are a few staid techniques that do-it-yourselfers who don't have the money to pay the experts are falling back on. Techniques that when applied properly have been shown to deliver results. Website promotions by way of social networking sites have been growing in popularity, right along with the popularity of social networking. Setting up a page on a social networking site costs absolutely nothing, and once that is done it can be loaded up with reams of photos and information. Submitting short keyword related articles to online article directories is yet another SEO booster that more do-it-yourselfers are discovering. Once again, it costs nothing to submit articles to popular article directories and it's also a great way to publicize information on relevant products and services. More people are blogging today as well and blogs are a great resource for building direct and indirect links back to a site. A good blog takes time however, and for it to be effective in the search engines some knowledge of proper keyword placement in the written text is for sure a definite plus. Blogs are also a great way to interact with other entrepreneurs in the online business community by way of guest posting. With guest posting, the blogger contacts another blog owner with a request to post on their blog, and then writes and submits articles, or it can work in the other direction just as well. Through it all, the bottom line; is that with all the belt tightening that has gone on over the course of this last recession more business operators have discovered that with little money and even no money they can still maintain an effective search engine optimization program. Dev8 is a full service search engine optimization firm based out of Orlando, Florida that services companies large and small in a full range of business genres.

(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 23, 2012 ) San Francisco, CA- YouTube sensation, Cassandra Bankson, the young teen who chronicles her makeup routine to cover up her acne-prone skin, has found herself in a place she never dreamed of walking the runway during New York Fashion Week. Bankson walked the runway at the Stacey Igel “Boy Meets Girl” show at New York Fashion Week. This was just the first step in putting her past of being bullied for her acne-ridden skin behind her. This small town girl is living a dream that many wish they could be apart of. Bankson knows that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and is “is thankful” for the experience. At 19 years of age, Bankson first found her fame through posting makeup tutorials on YouTube. In these how-to pieces, Bankson showed the world what she had to do to cover her acne ridden skin before heading out the door. Currently, Bankson has over 45 million views of her YouTube tutorials. She often talks to her viewers first in full makeup and then slowly removes the makeup revealing her pimples and blemishes. Bankson said that she had no idea that so many people had the same problems. The videos and an appearance on the show “Good Morning America” have allowed her to really connect to her YouTube fans. Bankson stated in her interview for GMA that she was bullied and tormented because of her appearance and hated to leave the house. She often stayed at home, researching and trying different makeup techniques on herself. She also took her time at home to focus on her studies and subsequently graduated two years early. “I was a total recluse,” said Bankson. Bankson, who resides in California, says that her condition is now about 70% improved. Now in her second year of college she is inspired to pursue a career in dermatology in order to help others who suffer as she did. She wants to continue to model. Besides her walk on the runway for Fashion Week, Bankson has already worked on ads for the brands Bebe and Range Rover. “Models shouldn’t be modeling perfection because there is no such thing, “ she stated. “We should be modeling ourimperfections.” About MariaPuente.Com: MariaPuente.Com (http://www.mariapuente.com/regalos-originales) Maria Puente specializes in professional regalos originales and regalos originales para mujeres.

New Survey Shows Over One Million People In UK Use Payday Loans On a Regular Basis reports NorthStarAdvance.com

(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 23, 2012 ) San Francisco, CA- Santander has released new research that shows over one million people in the United Kingdom admit that they use payday loans on a regular basis to cover monthly expenses and bills. These loans they say help them cover any gaps in the month where they do not have the funds to cover household bills and expenses. It is well known that most payday loans are expensive and charge absorbanent amounts of interest to borrowers if the full amount borrowed is not paid in full within a very short timeframe. Despite high interest, people continue to utilize the programs because it is the only way to avoid overdraft fees at their banks. As people struggle to pay their monthly bills and support their families, payday loans are just the start. Research also shows that many families in the U.K. are also using other forms of credit to get by. Some use credit cards or other types of loans to make ends meat, as savings and other accounts have already been exhausted. For many, the only way to get by is to supplement by borrowing funds from other sources. Rather than using overdraft services from a bank, which often charges interest, people are looking for something to help them get by until their next payday. Many are in serach of loans that are as low interest as possible. This also includes using credit cards that offer interest-free periods to users. Santander also found that people used credit and loans more often than they sought to find better deals on “utilities, television or broadband subscriptions.” Which could save them money on a monthly basis. Research showed that the most popular method of borrowing money was by bank overdraft, followed by credit cards and then payday loans. As the cost of living goes up for many people, the use of loans to make ends meet may become commonplace.

Facebook Owner Mark Zuckerberg Seriously Considering Facebook Search Engine Reports NukeBoost.Com

(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 23, 2012 ) San Francisco, CA- Mark Zuckerberg announced that he wants Facebook to have a search engine feature in it. In the vein of competition with Google, Zuckerberg’s announcement makes Facebook a full experience and not just a social networking site. Greenlight Digital created a survey from 500 people from diverse backgrounds and walks of life. The survey was intended to see if people were interested in a Facebook search engine and would use it over the more popular brands like Google or Bing. Only 5% said “definitely,” with 26% saying “no.” 500 people does not compare to the massive number of users on Facebook, and thus the study is a small-scale of what this search engine could really harness in terms of power in the technological community. Still, one cannot predict the success of a feature like this, as it was the case with Google Plus, in which few foresaw success. Even so, 5% of the billions on Facebook is not a small number to consider if the study is a direct reflection of what this search usability could be. Andreas Pouros, Greenlight’s COO, comments, “It wouldn’t need to be a spectacular engine either, just well integrated into the Facebook experience and generally competent. This 22% market share would make Facebook the second most utilised search engine in every major market except for China, Japan, and Russia, where it would occupy an uncontested third place.” Regardless of the hard numbers, Facebook’s endeavors would likely find success out of sheer strength in numbers of users. One will have to wait and see to what extent these success and strength would tie in with the site’s popularity.

(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 23, 2012 ) San Francisco, CA- Mark Plunkett, a Brisbane barrister representing Indonesian minors accused of being persons smugglers, have accused federal authorities of child abuse against his clients. One of the barrister’s clients spent 465 days in detention. Plunkett argued that the process was long and bureaucratic, and claimed the process could have been a lot easier and shorter. He is demanding judicial oversight of the process and an apology by authorities for mistreating his minor clients. According to The Sydney Morning Herald, Mr. Plunkett said, “these cases made it harder for the Australian government to voice concerns about its citizens caught up in prisons in Bali, especially for people being charged with crimes such as drug smuggling.” Federal authorities are also under fire with Senator Sarah Hanson-Young, who claims they deliberately ignored documents that proved the persons being charged with smuggling were minors. She is calling for laws to be made to protect the rights of minors in these cases.

(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 23, 2012 ) San Francisco, CA- Zynga Inc. will acquire gaming competitor “A Bit Lucky”, the digital gaming studio whichcreated Facebook-based games like Lucky Train. Although full details of the acquisition have not been disclosed, Zynga announced that, “More than 20 A Bit Lucky employees currently based in San Mateo, California will join Zynga’s San Francisco division.” This acquisition will only further the changes that Zynga is making as they look to diversify to other games. Zynga is the maker of “Casual Games” such as “Words with Friends” and “Farmville”. The recent acquisition comes as newly hired John Tobias, co-creator of the Mortal Kombat franchise works on new titles for the company. This according to Zynga executive Bill Jackson. The well known game publisher is planning on diversifying their product line, even as user number of their most popular titles such as “FarmVille” and “CityVille” have seen a drop in users. The drop in usage has created questions for many about the popularity of casual gaming, and if it will be as popular in the future. Zynga currently is in litigations with competitor Electronic Arts (EA). Electronic Arts sued Zynga last month saying, “It unfairly copied elements of EA’s Sims game.” Shortly after, Zynga then accused Electronic Arts of breaching a former settlement they had with Zynga. The breach of settlement accusations deal with how the company can hire EA employees. Unfortunately, for Zynga, those details were not supposed to be made public and Zynga inadvertently disclosed.

Recession affecting Automobile Market as Used Car Prices Slump reports Cars4SA.co.za

(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 23, 2012 ) San Francisco, CA- With a recession, there are usual consequences in prices for cars particularly as people change their spending habits. In a healthy economy, a new car loses its value the moment it is driven away from the seller’s lot, sometimes it loses up to 30% of its value within a year’s time. As a response to the recession, more people are turning to used cars instead of new ones and, as a result, used cars have reached new highs that have not been seen before. There are some instances where new cars are even cheaper than used ones at this point. Some say that within the upcoming days, used cars will go back to being cheaper than new cars. There are some numbers that support this prediction. For instance, the average used car is now selling for 2.4% less than in May. Analysts are expecting for this decrease to continue not only for the upcoming months, but also for years to come. The most recent ALG report further supports these predictions as it reveals that, “The percentage of dealership transactions attributable to used car sales has been steadily declining since January.” It also supports the hypothesis of new cars being overshadowed by used ones, “Since their peak of nearly 65% in 2010, dealer used car transactions have been eclipsed by new car transactions as a percentage of total vehicle sales” There are many guesses and hypotheses as to why the decline in used-car prices is not happening fast enough. Some blame government programs like Cash for Clunkers. Some think it is because buyers are holding on to cars for longer periods. However, most agree that this decline is due to a low number of used cars in general. Vice president of residual value solutions at ALG, Eric Lyman explains to Automotive News, “The supply right now is so low, that is controlling everything in the used-market values,” He expands on this statement, “There just aren’t enough vehicles out there relative to used-car demand.” Regardless of the decline in prices for used cars taking a longer time, still, new cars are getting more expensive as they include more up-to-date technology that is often pricey and better fuel economy. According to Cars.com’s Kicking Tires blog, the average new car sold last month for $2,338 more than a year ago.

Professional appearance for modern women carries a high cost reports HairRemoverReviews.com

(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 23, 2012 ) San Francisco, CA- To be successful in a career, women today still must be conscious of how they look. But this concern for appearance comes at a cost, both for women and society. Women who project a professional demeanor must be neatly groomed and stylish. To ignore this can draw attention and debate. A Canadian politician sparked headlines for her campaign posters featuring casual dress and even hair on her upper lip. Manon Massé, a candidate for Quebec Solidaire, adopted a natural look, including a jean jacket and hair left down untidily. The Canadian Press commented, “Wrinkles, stray grey hairs and whiskers above a woman’s upper lip aren’t usually seen on campaign posters whose subjects are more than often made-up, coiffed and photo-shopped to cinematic perfection.” Massé has argued that she was intent on making a political statement. “We are politicians who are very different, we’re not here to fit into heterosexual norms,” she said. Indeed, fashion authorities advise women that a “coiffed” look is the key to a professional appearance and, therefore, success. “Women who wear makeup in business generally get better jobs, get promoted more quickly and get paid more,” states Excelle, with the jobs website Monster. This focus on fashion for success does not generally hold true for men. A conservative suit might be enough for a man to wear to an interview, the website eHow advises. But women are told to be careful of a variety of features from skirt length and shoes to makeup and accessories. The cost to women to maintain appearances is significant. So far this year, women have spent $23 million more on clothing than men have, according to Statistics Canada. But society also pays a price. Cosmetic production often involves testing on animals, and eco-conscious products can cost two or three times as much as traditional ones. Custom Eyes Mascara, made by Revlon, which tests on animals, sells for $10.99. But Urban Decay’s cruelty-free Lush Lash mascara retails for $20. For women to maintain a professional appearance is already expensive, but for them to do so in an eco-friendly way is even costlier.

New Trend seen as Burglars Target Women who are home alone reports HomeSecuritySystemsPhoenix.org

(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 23, 2012 ) San Francisco, CA- Three burglaries might be connected, police believe, as a gang seems to be working its way through Texas by attacking the homes of women living alone. One of their victims is Annette Bledsoe, a sixty-one year old woman living alone, whose home was the scene of an unsuccessful burglary attempt. She says, “I thought someone had shot my window out,” upon hearing the sound of glass shattering. After calling 911, she went back to her bedroom, put on a robe, and was about to carry on with her day when she saw a member of the gang standing outside her patio door, preparing to enter. “He started to reach in to open the door,” Bledsoe recalls, but she was quicker than him as she screamed in terror and ran out of the house, where she encountered members of the gang. Outside, she stumbled on her way to a neighbor’s home to call for help and to be safe. As she did so, the members of the gang all got into a Buick and drove off, empty handed. However, they were busy earlier in the day. At 2:40 am, about 1 ½ miles from Bledsoe’s home in North Fulton, a homeowner reports to Brian Goetschius an encounter with a burglar. Goetschius, who is a Texas City Police captain, explains that the woman saw a burglar going through her wallet. Her window was open because the electricity was not working in her home. Later on, the gang stops at Pat Jones’ home. Jones was out of town and thus did not encounter the burglars at all; however, she notes that her home is emptied by the gang as they took jewelry, prescription medications, three pistols, and “They didn’t take the computers or the TVs, just the stuff they could haul out of here,” Jones reflects. “They took my throw that was on my couch that I use to cover up when I am watching TV. I guess they put everything in that and took it out.” Bledsoe’s security camera records what the burglars did, unlike Jones and the other woman, she has a clearer and more concrete description of the gang; however, no arrests have been made yet but Goetschius explained that the police is looking further into a connection between the burglaries.

Apple stocks reach new high by breaking $700 following iPhone 5 launch reports iPhone5kopen.nl

(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 23, 2012 ) San Francisco, CA -- The price of Apple Inc. shares broke the $700 mark for the first time this week after news that demand for the new iPhone 5 exceeded supply. Apple stocks rose $2.13 to close at $701.91 Tuesday, although they hit a high of $702.33 earlier that afternoon. Demand for the new iPhone 5 quickly outstripped initial supply. Within the first 24 hours, the number of orders for the iPhone 5 was more than double that for the iPhone 4S last October. Apple began taking orders for its latest smartphone at 3 a.m. Friday. Analysts said the surprising volume of sales showed that some observers had not appreciated the potential of the iPhone 5, claiming it lacked a “wow factor.” “We continue to believe many underestimate iPhone 5 in that it is a significant update and will drive a powerful product cycle,” said Shaw Wu, an analyst with Sterne Agee, in a communication to investors. Apple made a big change in the iPhone screen for the first time with the new model. A larger screen – 4 inches diagonally, up from 3.5 inches in earlier versions – provides more space for icons and for widescreen video. The new model also weighs less and is thinner. Most of the orders for the iPhone 5 will be delivered Friday, when the device hits the shelves, Apple said Monday, but some will be delivered in October. Wu, of Sterne Agee, expects 27 million iPhones to be shipped by Apple this quarter. The smartphone costs $199 for a 16-gigabyte model for subscribers with a two-year contract with AT&T, Sprint or Verizon Wireless. Since CEO Steve Jobs died October 5, Apple stocks have gone up 86 percent. The company’s market value has been put at $658 billion, with the recent $700-plus share price. That compares with Google, which was at $712.28 a share Tuesday and a market capitalization of $236.4 billion. Google shares broke $700 in 2007.

Study predicts 10-15 percent of social media reviews will be faked by 2014 reports EricStrate.com

(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 23, 2012 ) San Francico, CA- A recent study found that by 2014 roughly 10 to 15% of social media reviews will be faked. The report comes from Gartner, Inc., the world’s leading information technology research and advisory company. Gartner, Inc. is based in Connecticut and was founded in 1979. To tip the review scales in their favor, some companies resort to paying for fake reviews and spambots (programs designed to harvest email addresses to build mailing lists for unsolicited email messages) on sites including Amazon, Yelp and Rotten Tomatoes. With more than half of the internet population using social network sites, the medium presents businesses with a financially potent marketing opportunity. “Organizations are scrambling for new ways to build bigger follower bases, generate more hits on videos, garner more positive reviews than their competitors, and solicit ‘likes’ on their Facebook pages,” Jenny Sussin, senior research analyst at Gartner said in a statement. This opportunity has proven irresistible to many, including two Fortune 500 companies facing litigation from the Federal Trade Commission for illicit social media practices. Some companies exchange pay or other forms of compensation, including gift cards or free products, for positive reviews of their products, whether or not the reviewer has ever used their products or services. The FTC ruled that reviews for products without disclosures, including that the reviewer was paid or received a gift in exchange for the review, is fraudulent activity punishable with fines. Upon learning of the FTC’s Guide Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising initially drew sharp criticism from the blogosphere. The practice of writing fake reviews has shifted in recent years from blogs to social networks, where companies can purchase Facebook “likes” or Twitter followers. The popular website Fiverr, for example, sells several hundred Facebook “likes” for $5. This development is proof of the mounting pressure on companies to compete in the social network marketing arena. “Marketing, customer service, and IT social media managers looking to use reviews, fans, and ‘Likes’ to improve their brand’s reputation on social media must beware of the potential negative consequences on corporate reputation and profitability,” said Ed Thompson, Gartner Vice President and analyst.

(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 23, 2012 ) Sydney, Australia——Following the September 10th outage WebHostingReviews has downgraded the rating of Web Hosting giant GoDaddy.com. The website has updated its list of most trusted hosting networks taking into account vulnerability of their networks and their uptime track-record. The rating website now has iPage leading the charts, closely followed by JustHost and Fatcow. “These service providers have lately provided more stable and secure webhosting services” says Norman Watson, a Technology Blogger. "Most review websites have updated their ratings after the users affected by the September 10th outage took virtual arms against the review sites that endorsed GoDaddy.com.” he adds. When asked to comment on the recent changes to the ratings Mr. John Butler, Media Spokesperson for webhostingreviews.net.au said “Our website has an exceptional track record of providing expert analysis on the best Web hosting service in terms of price, value, services and support. We had previously rated GoDaddy.com higher because of their on-time support and generally positive feedback from our users. But with the company becoming prone to hacking networks and recent outages, the reliability of the hosting giant is in question. In light of this it is prudent that we downgrade their ratings to depict the reality. " The company also launched reviews of local Australian Web hosting services. The website has detailed reviews of some top Australian Web hosting service providers like HostPapa, Webcity and Digital Pacific. Talking about this new division Mr. Butler said "Australian Web hosting is usually a little bit more expensive then offshore hosting and doesn't have the features some of these big name brands can offer. That being said there has been a big improvement in the last 5 years and several Australian Web hosting companies have stepped up their game with their features, reliability and support. Our site will guide the users to the best in the business." Questioned about the benefits of Australian Web hosting he said "The biggest benefit with Australian hosting is that your servers will be located in the big cities like Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. The performance increase can be quite noticeable if your living in Australia and your webpage uses a lot of rich media like hi-res images, video and other types of media. The best Australian Web hosting companies have a faster access time and latency becomes a non-issue." ### About WebHostingReviews Inc WebHostingReviews Inc is the parent company of hosting review site http://webhostingreview.net.au and operates from New South Wales, Australia.

(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 23, 2012 ) San Francisco, CA- McLaren, maker of the famous F1 supercar, is planning a new road car that will challenge rivals Bugatti, Lamborghini, and Porsche. The vehicle, designated P1 at the moment, was announced by the British Formula One team and will be unveiled at the 2012 Paris motor show. The P1 is expected to launch in 2013. McLaren has said it intends for the two-seat P1 to be, “the best driver’s car in the world on road and track.” Official details of the car’s capabilities and mechanical specifications are not yet available. McLaren has said it will be more than a year before independent testers can check its performance. Sources have said it will feature an energy system styled after those of Formula One vehicles that will help provide 720kW. It will be driven by the MP4-12C’s 3.8-liter V8 engine. “Our aim is not necessarily to be the fastest in absolute top speed but to be the quickest and most rewarding series production road car on a circuit,” said Antony Sheriff, Managing Director for McLaren. “It is the true test of a supercar’s all-round ability and a much more important technical statement.” The price of the P1 is expected to be about 800,000 English Pounds, and it will be built only for left-hand drive. The design of the car was clearly inspired by McLaren’s proud history. The headlamp graphic was fashioned from the company logo and the air scoop’s shape is based on the F1’s. “The P1 will be the result of 50 years of racing and road car heritage,” McLaren boss Ron Dennis has said. The P1, whose working title will be replaced by a production title with the MP4 designation, will be assembled at McLaren headquarters in Woking, England. “It will be the most exciting, most capable, most technologically advanced and most dynamically accomplished supercar ever made,” Sheriff said.

Raven’s No-Huddle Has team Looking to Continue Improved Offensive Efforts reports NFLTickets.me

(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 23, 2012 ) San Francisco, CA- After the passing of 87-year-old Art Modell, the founder and owner of the Baltimore Ravens, the team continues toward success in memoriam. Ray Lewis delivered a passionate and emotion-filled eulogy in memory of Modell. He also embraced a new strength of the Baltimore squad: Offense. The team has made a few new changes. One of these changes involves switching to a no-huddle strategy, wherein the offense keeps the defensive package on the field as they hurry to the line. This, in order to attempt to confuse and tire the defense with a sense of urgency and high pacing. Defensive coordinator cam Cameron is willing to embrace the new strategy along with the no- huddle system. The Ravens now are looking at a system where they have a go-for-broke offense to complement their hard-hitting and often brutal defense. Baltimore finished up its AFC best 430-yards offensive effort in its routing of the Cincinnati on Sunday. Lewis commented on the offense by saying, “I have been here a long time,” reflects the thirty-seven year old, “You can finish that off for me.” “You watch all the great offenses around the league, they are really moving to the fast-break offense," Lewis told reporters, "and for us to go to it right now with all the pieces we have, I think it's a great thing." Meanwhile, Quarterback Joe Flacco, is expected to thrive within Cameron’s new plan. Lewis commented on his teammate’s performance, “Trust me, I am pro-Joe because he has proved himself year in and year out." The same can, and is, said about Lewis, who is a consistent Pro-Bowler himself, and has one Super Bowl under his belt. He is nonetheless eager for a second championship as his career reaches its waning years. The Ravens look like strong contenders for the Super Bowl this year, with players performing better than the team has seen in near a decade. The team’s offense has not ranked higher than fifteenth in total yards in over a decade, and the new move to a cut-throat offense could be a positive turn from their usual cerebral pace of years past. "I know a lot of people are putting emphasis on our offense and what our offense does," Lewis said. "But we've always believed in our offense. Joe has a lot of pieces now that he can really play with." Other teams are definitely recognizing the team’s performance, particularly Flacco’s newfound skill and speed in his new position. "I think the offense suits him," Eagles coach Andy Reid told reporters on a conference call. "What they're doing with the hurry-up game, I think he handled that very well. ... I like what they're doing. It was effective the other night. They're playing good football." The Ravens’ coach agrees by stating that they are not only good, they are “Scary good.” About NFLTickets.me: NFLTickets.me (http://nfltickets.me/baltimore-ravens-tickets/) is a website that allows fans to buy Baltimore Ravens tickets online, hassle-free.

(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 23, 2012 ) San Francisco, CA- If having a breakfast cereal named in your honor is a sign of success, then Buffalo Bills Defensive End Mario Williams has made it to the big time, as has his protege, a 9- year-old boy who is currently battling Leukemia. Williams will donate all his proceeds from the sale of “MariO’s,” a honey-toasted cereal to Carly’s Club, a Buffalo charity supporting children with cancer, and their families. Williams, who signed a six-year, $100 million contract with the Bills in March, is a two-time Pro Bowl selection and pass-rushing specialist. Although he admitted to being excited about having his likeness lining grocery store aisles, Williams was quick to add, “The biggest thing is not being on the cereal box. It's the opportunity and the chance to give back to those who need help. My father was diagnosed two years ago with colon cancer, so I definitely know what it's like to go through with a family member having cancer." Lucas Lowe, who was diagnosed with Leukemia two years ago, quickly became a Williams fan through MariO’s. "He's a great guy, and I want to say thanks to Lucas for being very strong," Williams said. He appeared with Lowe at a press conference announcing the cereal’s release. "I just want to thank you guys for coming out and supporting me and Mario today," said Lowe, who wore a Bills cap signed by Williams. MariO’s is the most recent limited edition cereal produced by PLB Sports, a Pittsburgh-based company. PLB previously offered “T.O’s,” in honor of Buffalo’s Terrell Owens, and “Flutie Flakes,” for former Bills quarterback Doug Flutie. The MariO’s cereal box features Bills red and blue colors with a picture of Williams on the front and Lowe on one side. It also includes information about Carly’s Club, which supports Buffalo Roswell Park Cancer Institute patients. According to his mother, Maureen Warren, Lowe will continue to receive treatment for two years. "This is awesome, very awesome," Warren said. "It's a really cool thing because not many people get to be on a cereal box."

(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 23, 2012 ) San Francisco, CA- For the ninth time in a decade the Chicago Bears raised ticket prices. The average average season ticket now costs $110.91, according to the annual Fan Cost Index survey. The Bears’ raised their average non-premium season ticket price by 9.2%. According to sports marketing research firm Team Marketing Report, it is the largest percentage increase in the NFL. Chicago single-game tickets also spiked in price, costing an additional $25 per game over season ticket per-game prices. While this hike is new to the Bears, it is fairly common among most professional sports teams. The average Bears premium season ticket remains the same as the previous year at $389. "Our focus has been around adding benefits and amenities for our season-ticket holders," Bears Vice President for Sales and Marketing, Chris Hibbs, wrote in an e-mail to ESPNChicago in July about the price increase. "They should be paying less for their tickets than what the general public pays. We're very lucky to have a vast majority of Soldier Field filled with our loyal season-ticket holders, so the quantity of tickets available in the public on sale is limited to a few thousand per game. But we feel it's important that the public has an opportunity. The reality is we could sell them all as season tickets if we wanted." It appears the price increase is no deterrent to Bears fans. Single-game tickets sold out fast when Chicago released them in July. Across the NFL, the average ticket costs $78.38, up 2.5% from last season. The Bears’ ticket is the fifth-most expensive in the league for the second consecutive season. The most expensive average ticket price is for New York Jets single-game tickets, which average $117.94 per. The New England Patriots are a close second with tickets only 10 cents cheaper each. Other NFL teams to raise ticket prices in the NFC North Division include the Detroit Lions (an increase of 8.3%) and the Green Bay Packers (5%). The Dallas Cowboys have the highest Fan Cost Index total in the league at $634.78 for a family of four to attend a game. The Bears’ Fan Cost Index total is third-highest at $608.64. Meanwhile, ticket prices aren’t the only gauge of NFL entertainment affordability. The cheapest beer sold at Soldier Field is $8.50 - $1.25 higher than the average NFL beer price.

How to Portion Control on Your Plate

/EINPresswire.com/ Eating healthily is about eating the right amount of food for your energy needs. In US, most adults are either overweight or obese. This means many of us are eating more than we need, and should eat and drink fewer calories in order to lose weight.

Diets, dieting and weight control has reached such endemic proportions that people have been considering any viable options to help them stay fit. In fact, every time our earning improves, our lifestyle undergoes a significant change – for the worse. Our progress often ends up with our health being worse off than at the start of our career. The addition of various natural and artificial additives to the food we consume has resulted in the food becoming tastier and the quantities we eat, larger. Restaurants and diners too have upsized the serving portions. Today an average meal plate at any dinner is sufficient for two adults. Little wonder then, that most of us are fighting a losing battle against the bulging belly. Nutritionists, physicians and ordinary folks have recognized the problem and have been looking for ways and means to control the Healthy eating plate.

One of the excellent ideas that cropped up was the notion of controlled meal plate. The controlled meal plate is a well-designed attempt to control the quantity of food we eat and the quality of the food we eat. The idea was to create a visual tool that takes out the guesswork as to what we should be eating and how much we should eat. Early meal plates were typically 11-inches in diameter, with gaudy designs and printed matter. People did not like this portion control plates because:

•They were made from low grade plastic
•They had gaudy illustrations of fish, ham, fruits etc. on the plate itself.
•The prints were of poor quality
•The meal plate design clashed with existing cutlery
•The text on the meal plates made the user feel like it was more suited for a little child

Clearly, the idea was good but the implementation of the meal plate could have been more carefully considered. Enter meal plates designed by Precise Portions. Instead of low-grade plastic, high-grade porcelain china was used. The design too underwent a radical change – one that ensured the new meal plates were more in line with the designs on existing crockery without taking away the functionality of the meal plate. Simultaneously, the size of the meal plate was reduced to ten inches. The reduction in size of the meal plate was a stroke of genius because it meant that when food was placed on the plate, it gave the appearance of being full. This was vital since obese people always love a full plate.

The food serving plates by Precise Portions was elegantly divided into three parts each for proteins, vegetables and fruits. The new meal plates were dishwasher and microwave safe and did not include text on the plate itself. This made it much easier to use the plates even when there were guests at the table.

Simultaneously, the meal plate also included 10oz glasses and 16oz bowls that ensured liquids and soups were not over consumed.

While on the one hand nutritionist and physicians worked out activities (exercises) that helped us utilize the calories we consumed, the new meal plate designs ensured that we not only did not over eat, but also that we eat the right food in the right quantities.
