New Book’s Twist On One of the Oldest Stories

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

“Far Behind” Brings About A Different Revelation by Inquiring: Imagine The Devil Rising back to Earth Remorseful For What He Has Done!

New York, NY - March 30, 3010 — After writing a book defining the root cause and common denominator of all known addictions, and some original thoughts on where life and the universe may be heading, the author and recovering alcoholic goes to New York for an interview: “How is that possible, believing in all religions at once?” queried the host. The guest responded “I try to look up in the sky and picture…”

He also gets to give a speech on a subject he’s the most passionate about “I’ve been fortunate enough to travel all across America, meeting many different people one on one while trying to get an overall picture, or barometer, of this great land!”

While in the city he rides in one of the external “all glass” elevators to the top of the newly constructed Twin Towers (of a different design), where the riders can enjoy the beauty and strength of this magnificent city as they rise to the top.

In Part II (Due out April 2011) A new character arises and asks “How would I take over the world if I were the devil?” and “What would I do with it once it was seized?”
All in a story about trying to make amends, and whose only purpose is to make you think!

New Low-Priced Home Oxygen Concentrator ?

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

Salt Lake City, UT (Press Release) Vitality Medical announced today that they added the Perfecto 2V Oxygen Concentrator manufactured by Invacare to their home oxygen concentrator product line. This new oxygen machine is expected to fill the gap created by other low priced oxygen concentrators that have fallen behind in production and are currently unable to meet demand.

The timeliness of this new oxygen concentrator is significant. Many oxygen therapy patients have been waiting for several months for their low priced oxygen concentrator to be shipped due to high demand and insufficient production. Invacare however, has a current stockpile of 5,000 new concentrators ready for shipping. Invacare’s Perfecto 2V is expected to rapidly gain market share against the current market leaders—the Graham-
Field John Bunn Optium Oxygen Concentrator and the Drive Medical Solstice Oxygen Concentrator. For several months these two low priced leaders have been late on shipping new orders. Oxygen patients who have ordered either of these two leading low-priced oxygen concentrators have found themselves frustrated over late deliveries.

Oxygen patients who do not want to wait any longer or who cannot wait any longer now have a new low-price option available. Invacare recently released a new economy version of the Perfecto 2 Oxygen Concentrator called the Perfecto 2V. This oxygen concentrator is being sold for only $742.00 at Vitality Medical, a leading online medical supply retailer. In comparing prices, the Perfecto 2V costs more than the Optium and the Solstice. However, the Perfecto 2V comes standard with the Sens02 oxygen sensor while the other two concentrators have the sensor available as an add-on option. The Optium and the Solstice can be ordered with an optional O2 sensor for an additional cost. When taking into account the price of the O2 sensor, the three oxygen concentrators are similarly priced.

Home Oxygen Concentrator Price Comparison

Optium–$585.00 ($690.00 with sensor)
Solstice–$618.00 ($710.70 with sensor)
Perfecto 2V–$742.00 (with sensor)

The three oxygen concentrators compare similarly in other factors as well. For instance, all three oxygen machines have a maximum oxygen output of 5 liters per minute (LPM). Each concentrator’s weight is similar, weighing within 6 pounds of each other. Noise emissions between the three are only 2 decibels apart. Power consumption is within 25 watts of each other. The warranties on the Optium and Solstice extend for an additional 2 years above the Perfecto 2V. A detailed comparison of these three oxygen concentrators can be found at the following link: Oxygen Concentrator Ratings.

The Optium is still the low price leader currently on the market but availability is pushed off each month. Brad Packer of Vitality Medical expects the sales of the Perfecto 2V to be robust throughout 2010. Brad indicates that “the oxygen concentrators from Drive and Graham-Field are excellent machines that have not been able to keep up with demand. As production for the Optium and New New Low-Priced Home Oxygen Concentrator

For some time Drive Medical led the economical home oxygen concentrator market with its Solstice Oxygen Concentrator. Then last year Graham-Field released the new John Bunn Optium Oxygen Concentrator which became the new low price leader. Both were so popular they sold out and have been on back order for months. Now Invacare just released the new Perfecto 2V which may fill the gap created by the unavailability of the Solstice and Optium.

Solstice attempt to catch up to meet current demand, we anticipate the Invacare Perfecto 2V Oxygen Concentrator will fill the gap during the mean-time. Consumers who have been waiting for weeks and months for their Optium or Solstice oxygen concentrator will likely find the current availability of the Perfecto 2V to be the deciding factor in their purchase decision.”

We have been so gratified by the wonderful support our customers have given us over these many years. That’s why we’ve decided to have a major store closing total liquidation at this location and offer price reductions unlike any we’ve ever had in our history. This event will give the area residents the opportunity to own fine home furnishings unique accessories, and the finest handmade oriental rugs at once-in-a-lifetime savings, and it will be our way of saying, thank you to our friends and neighbors.”

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

/ EINPresswire / U.S.A, Summit, NJ - March 30, 2010 - An 18 year-old student entrepreneur is in the process of developing an advertising agency to achieve success at an early age. Founder, Francisco Azevedo set up TheAllSpot.com after contemplating how to break into the business world. He aspires to be as well-established as his mentors Farrah Gray and Cameron Johnson, who equally achieved success at an early stage in their lives. “All you need is that first spark to get you started,” commented Azevedo.

TheAllSpot.com is a website with hundreds of spots (ad space) that people can purchase in order to display a product or website. The idea is to facilitate the connection between advertisers and potential consumers. The website is made up of three different sized images located on the homepage. Each image contains a link to an external website.

“The All Spot is intended for anyone who wishes to advertise something,” said Azevedo, “but I believe that this will interest mostly businesses.” said Azevedo,

Despite the site being active for only 3 weeks, it is already showing profit, and garnering more hits every day.

Chem-Dry Announces ‘Perfect Paws’ Photo Contest

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Pet owners can submit pictures of their adorable pets in photo contest.

March 26, 2010 — Enter the Perfect Paws Photo Contest. You could be one of the selected winners receiving a $250 gift Card to the Home Depot. Submit your pet’s photograph via e-mail to (perfectpaws@chemdry.com) before May 29, 2010, be sure to include your pet’s name, breed/type, pets age, your first and last name, City, State and Zip, your email address as well as the name of your local Chem-Dry.

By entering the contest you are giving Chem-Dry permission to publish it without additional consent from you. Make sure that the picture you submit is of an animal you own, or have permission to photograph, also that you have all the rights to the image. Chem-Dry has made clear that they reserve the right to restrict photos based on any inappropriate content, and that Chem-Dry employees need not apply.

Any household pet qualifies for the contest, so if you’ve got a photographic ferret or a picturesque parrot, submit your photos today.

Even picture perfect pets piddle, and improper clean up is not only unsanitary but could possibly be hazardous to your pets. Additionally, instinct often demands that your pet “mark” the same spot over and over again, causing urine to seep deeper into your carpets making it more difficult to clean up. Carpet cleaning by itself does not remove or correct a pet urine problem. Chem-Dry’s trademarked P.U.R.T. (Pet Urine Removal Treatment) professional process guarantees complete urine clean up. If you took a black light to any other process, what would you find?
Why is P.U.R.T so important?
Chem-Dry’s pet urine odor treatment is the absolute best at eliminating urine odor from carpet and upholstery. Chem-Dry’s P.U.R.T.(R) Pet Urine Removal Treatment and Odor Eliminator products can remove most pet stains and odors permanently.
Carpet pet urine odor in carpet is a problem that requires major restoration work, not just a simple carpet cleaning and treating.

Urine deposited on carpet does not stay there; it penetrates the fibers and contaminates both the backing of the carpet and the flooring material below the carpet. Often, without your knowing, pets will urinate continually in the same general location. Urine odors can permeate from the floor, be it cement or wood, from the tack strip, and even from the framework of the house behind the walls.

As the urine dries, the liquid evaporates but the urine crystals become even more concentrated and pungent. Simple cleaning will not remove this odor. Until recently, there was not a product available that was effective at removing urine odors.

The story behind Flo Rida and T-Pain’s Zoosk Girl

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

March 29, 2010 — According to Rolling Stone Magazine, The 2009 year-end Nielsen SoundScan numbers Reveal that Taylor Swift edged Susan Boyle in terms of album sales, and that the Beatles and Michael Jackson can still move major units. But how did the music biz do overall last year? Slightly better than the year before. Total music purchases were up 2.1 percent over 2008, as ‘09 brought in 1.545 billion overall music sales — which factors in albums, singles, digital tracks and music videos - compared to the 1.513 billion combined in 2008. Yet still, As the Album sales continue to remain subpar, The Music industry continues to adapt.

Digital Download record holder Flo Rida and Grammy award winning T-Pain broke the digital sales record in 2007 with there smash single “Low”, which sold 467,000 copies in it’s first week, over five million to date. Fast forward to 2010, The duo’s next smash has been released, only this time a widely known brand is now featured in the song title. “Zoosk Girl” is the name, and digital downloads are the game. T-Pain and Flo Rida are set to release another single entitled “I’m Dancin’”, which is currently slated as the lead single from T-Pain’s upcoming album “RevolveR”.

“Flo Rida was in the studio with Pain doing a song called “I’m Dancin’”, which is featured on T-Pain’s next album”, Said Poe Boy Music Group CEO Elrin “E-Class” Prince. “One of T-Pain’s boys, Tay Dizm, was talking about how he met some fine girl on Zoosk. He was talking all kind of mess about how good she looked and that she actually had good credit. T-Pain responded from the booth and was like “I need me a Zoosk Girl”. The jokes then turned into a song and It went from there.”

“I then hooked up with my buddy who owns The Kluger Agency, they handle most major artists relationships with brands. Since the song was clearly a smash, we decided to work something strategic out with Zoosk to amp the promotions for the song, which is now Flo’s Hype Single off his album The Only One”.

“Zoosk Girl”, which was leaked early this week will be officially released later this month with a music video available on all major televised and online channels. “When you have a hot record, Anything is possible. The song could be called Publix and still do well on the charts. Lyrical Content isn’t as important as the general message, which is “I need the perfect girl…A Zoosk Girl”, Replied Adam Kluger of The Kluger Agency when asked about the song.

According to Flo Rida’s record label, This is one of many hot tracks off of Flo’s Third Studio Album. Look out world, Here Flo Rida comes!
