The Secret to Landing Mr. Right is Out – Get in the Game!

Leave a comment

New board game is a win for women giving them confidence as they pursue “The One”.

New York, USA (July 31, 2013) — From Sex in the City to Fifty Shades of Grey, the latest craze for single women is Landing Mr. Right TM, a hilarious social board game about dating that’s entertaining women of all ages at private homes, chic boutiques and hot-spots from Miami to Manhattan.

“Landing Mr. Right parties are the newest trend for an unforgettable girls’ night,” says Alys Daly, who created the game along with girlfriend Victoria Brewer. The two pondered writing a how-to book about dating, but decided what women need is a platform to come together and talk about their dating experiences – the good, the bad and the comical. The game is designed to inspire single gals and give them the confidence that as long as they stay in the game, they will land their Mr. Right.

Landing Mr. Right revolves around dating six types of men: Blue Blood, CEO, Regular Guy, Triathlete, Rock Star and Techno-Geek. The game is easy to follow. A player selects a Date card that takes her to one of ten exciting destinations – from Paris to Vegas. However, whether that date puts you closer to or further away from Landing Mr. Right (a space on the board you must land on to win) is, as they say, all in the cards.

The Your Story cards tackle everything from online dating to meeting his family. Questions, such as “They’re making a Broadway Show about your sex life. Is it a comedy, a romance or a one-woman show?” get you thinking, laughing and discovering new things about yourself, your girlfriends and the men you date.

Brewer adds, “Landing Mr. Right gives you the opportunity to date outside your comfort zone and explore relationships with different types of men. For instance, if you’ve always gone for romantic, yet undependable Rock Stars, why not roll the die with a loyal and predictable Regular Guy, says Brewer.

Fans of the game agree. Yania Olabarrieta, a 40-something single advertising executive who hosted a Landing Mr. Right party at her condo in Miami Beach says, “Landing Mr. Right opened my eyes and made me see that I tend to date the same type of guy, yet he’s not for me. More than a game, Landing Mr. Right is Therapy in a Box!”

Alys & Victoria have just launched a campaign on Kickstarter, a funding platform for creative projects. Supporters will be the first to get the signed game and other Landing Mr. Right merchandise. They plan to have the game produced in mass quantity and available on http://www.landingmrright.com in time for the holiday season. For more information, contact Alys & Victoria at alys@landingmrright.com; call 561-339-5929 or 305-815-0312 or visit their blog at LandingMrRIght.com and share your hilarious dating stories.

Company continues search for qualified workers to relocate to growing Canadian job market.

BELIZE CITY, Belize (July 29, 2013) — Actyl, a world leader in recruiting for the Canadian labor market, will hold its first open house in Belize City on Tuesday, July 30.

The company will host the event at its Belizean headquarters from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., kicking off daily open houses it will hold every weekday from this point forward. The open houses will allow interested parties to explore what working in Canada is all about, including the educational opportunities available in the country.

“We are very pleased to hold these daily open houses and welcome individuals who may be interested in the wide range of opportunities available in Canada,” said Dr. Linda West, President of Actyl. “Canada-particularly western Canada-is experiencing unprecedented economic growth, and as a result there is a big gap in the skilled labor market. This presents unique opportunities for people in Belize to find gainful employment, while perhaps embarking on a personal adventure all their own.”

This week, Actyl is recruiting for a number of jobs in Canada, including 100 positions at McDonald’s, 15 industrial painters, 15 industrial electricians, eight stockers at Canadian Tire, six journeyman automotive body professionals, two heavy-duty mechanics and two sheet metal technicians.

To be eligible for Canadian jobs, candidates must be between the ages of 19 and 35, speak English, have completed high school and be willing and able to travel. Actyl has experienced a great deal of success in recruiting workers from throughout Belize over the past year, with many individuals finding high-paying employment with countless opportunities for personal and professional growth.

“We have many jobs in Canada available right now, and demand is great for skilled, ambitious and hard-working people from Belize to relocate as soon as possible,” said West. “These opportunities are both permanent and temporary, so whether you’re looking to make some money while experiencing another part of the world for a few months or would like a more long-term venture, there are openings available for you.”

Actyl’s office is located at 154 Freetown Road in Belize City. Visitors are encouraged to look for the Canadian flags outside of the building. To learn more about Actyl and the jobs available through the firm, go to http://www.actyl.com/belize.

PB Millionaire’s Baby Seal Rescue Makes A Big Splash

Leave a comment

Video Goes Viral On YouTube.

San Diego, CA, USA (July 28, 2013) — A baby seal was rescued at Windansea Beach in La Jolla and the video is all the talk on YouTube and Facebook. The pup seal waddled its way onto the beach right in the middle of a video/photo shoot for a swimsuit calendar. “It appeared to be wounded” said Jim Lawlor, executive producer of the PB Reality Show, whose camera team was there filming a bikini shoot for an episode of the show and happened to capture it all on camera.

Lawlor, who is nicknamed the “PB Millionaire,” called Sea World who sent a rescue team that netted the seal and brought it back to their location for medical treatment.

“Great show, Jim is really cool and does a lot of good for SD and injured seals!” – one Youtube viewer wrote.

Others wrote:

“The Humanitarian ‘stuff you do is amazing! That was my favorite part with the seal and the Homeless”

“Oh I loved the part where they saved the seal.. so touching.. but the whole episode was amazing, i am going to watch all of the episodes”

The rescue can be seen in the later part of the Episode 2 video here: http://youtu.be/AT_GYV3yfCM

When Lawlor first arrived here to San Diego 22 years ago, he had to sleep in his car as he couldn’t afford his rent. He painted houses as a means to get by and, ironically, invented a pair of goggles for spray painting that made him a millionaire. (See Lawlor’s Bio: http://www.pbmillionairebio.com)

From living in his car to living in a castle here in Pacific Beach, Lawlor calls it “Living the California Dream” – which is the theme of the show. The show has a huge following on Facebook with 85,000 fans and counting (Facebook: “The PB Reality Show”). Lawlor and his entourage are constantly recognized wherever they go around San Diego sometimes making it difficult to film. In the past two years various fan sites have popped up touting loyalty to the PB Reality Show: http://pbreality.wordpress.com.

Life’s Limitless Possibilities Captured in Photographs

Leave a comment

Not Even the Sky is the Limit showcases the abilities of children and adults with Down Syndrome.

Houston, TX (USA), July 29, 2013 — Not Even the Sky is the Limit showcases the abilities of children and adults with Down Syndrome. Created by Denise Zarrella, who was inspired by her daughter Gianna, the book is filled with color photographs of children and adults “doing everything everyone else does.” The author learned during pregnancy that the baby she was carrying had Down Syndrome. She advocates the philosophy that life’s possibilities are limitless with the right attitude.

Photographs throughout Not Even the Sky is the Limit feature people dancing, painting and sewing; playing soccer, golf and tennis; fishing and leading cheers; riding bikes, walking dogs and showing ponies. The cover features a man parachuting from a plane.“I wanted to give people a positive message about people with disabilities,” Zarrella said. “These are not throwaway lives.” The author said her idea for Not Even the Sky is the Limit came from a beautiful ABC book she received in a care package when Gianna was born.

“It featured children with Down Syndrome, and they looked happy and well-adjusted. The book gave us hope for our daughter,” Zarrella said. She and her husband, Tony, naturally were discouraged and scared at first, but they received support from the Upside of Downs organization and other parents. “Plus, I’m an eternal optimist, so I couldn’t give up hope that my daughter could do things everyone else does.”

Not Even the Sky is the Limit became a labor of love and a powerful journey for Zarrella as she listened to other parents. “Each one had a different story to tell about their children. And, I can’t say enough about the families who believed in this book and so graciously shared their beautiful children with me and my photographer.”

Published by Halo International Publishing, Not Even the Sky is the Limit offers insight into what people “can do,” said Publisher Lisa Umina. “It is a hopeful book of photographs to remind people to focus on abilities instead of disabilities,” she said.

Zarrella wants to get the book into doctors’ offices and share it with as many people as possible to raise awareness about Down Syndrome. A portion of proceeds from Not Even the Sky is the Limit will be donated to organizations that improve the lives of people who live with Down Syndrome.

Born in The Poconos, Pennsylvania, the author is an anchor and reporter for WOIO/WUAB television in Cleveland, Ohio. She is a graduate of Moravian College in Bethlehem, Penn. Her husband is Sports Director at the same television station and the couple has two children, Gianna and Anthony. To reach Zarrella, e-mail her at DZarrella@woio.com or call (216) 214-1252.

SmartTOP Convertible Top Controllers for Porsche Carrera Convertible and Porsche Boxster Gain Added Functionality

Leave a comment

The SmartTOP convertible top modules offered by automotive electronics specialist Mods4cars allow drivers to open and close the top with one-touch convenience while driving at slow speeds as well as from a distance using the original remote key fob. Now owners of the Carrera 991 and Boxster 981 models get to enjoy two added features: Automatic volume adjustment for the radio allows the sound to be muted upon starting the engine. In-car configuration of the module is now possible on cars equipped with multifunction steering wheel.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), July 26th, 2013 — Thanks to the aftermarket SmartTOP add-on top controller module, owners of the Porsche Carrera 991 and Boxster 981 get to enjoy full automatic one-touch top operation. Activate the console switch briefly and the top opens or closes by itself; there is no longer any need to hold the switch for the duration of the operation. Additionally it is possible to activate the top from the factory key fob remote. Here too the operation cycle completes without the need to hold any button the entire time. Each SmartTOP module also comes with a host of bonus features that make owning a convertible more fun and convenient.

Mods4cars has now added two new features to the Porsche Carrera 991 and Boxster 981 modules: If desired, the module can mute the radio when the ignition is first turned on. “Unfortunately the last used volume setting is not preserved on these systems. The radio always turns on at a factory pre-set volume when turning the ignition on, even if it was turned off or muted before.” says PR manager Sven Tornow. “This function is intended for those among our customers who would like to start driving without the radio playing.” Sven Tornow concludes.

Additionally the user configurable settings can now be programmed in cars equipped with the multifunction steering wheel. It is now possible to change settings in the car by using key combinations or by using a laptop connected to the module’s USB port. The USB port also allows customers to update the module firmware using a Mac or Windows laptop or desktop computer. Firmware updates are available online and free of charge for the life of the product. Existing customer always get to enjoy new functionality and updates as well.

The Porsche modules offer the following bonus features: Opening and closing of the windows independently from the top, an extended mode where top operation is not interrupted by turning the ignition on or off. A “valet” switch that turns the entire module off temporarily while retaining all user settings. The kit comes with a custom designed wiring adapter and can be installed or removed easily.

The Carrera 991 wind deflector gains one-touch operation and can be programmed to automatically raise up after the top is opened.

SmartTOP modules are available for Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo and VW. The kits are offered for almost all modern convertibles and roadsters on the road today. Pricing starts at 199 Euros + tax.

About Mods4cars:
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.

The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.

Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.

The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.

Flying Buttresses: A Novel of Bipolar Disorder Released by Jane Thompson

Leave a comment

Join author Jane Thompson as she learns about the value of support for those who suffer from bipolar disorder in her new novel, Flying Buttresses: A Novel of Bipolar Disorder (now available through Amazon and Kindle).

Georgetown, Texas, USA (July 26, 2013) — Join author Jane Thompson as she learns about the value of support for those who suffer from bipolar disorder in her new novel, Flying Buttresses: A Novel of Bipolar Disorder (now available through Amazon and Kindle).

My new book, Flying Buttresses, (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Flying-Buttresses-Novel-Bipolar-Disorder/dp/1490334254) is not about the support offered Gothic Cathedrals, but about a support group formed by six people with bipolar disorder, people in varying degrees of wellness and abilities to function. This book is the story of how they helped-and didn’t help each other, how they encouraged each other and how they worked to promote stability for each member. Each of them has a story, and each story is fascinating.

Meet Missy, who tries to damp her mania with vodka with no success. And Carleton, who stays on his lithium but finds that mania invariably creeps up on him anyway. Jackie, an attractive blond, has lost custody of her child because of her illness, and has to fight to get him back. Suzy is obsessed with a rock star and can’t get him out of her mind. Abby has fallen in love with a married man and can’t get up. Marie has lost her job and is trying to find her balance. See how these people, all with the same disorder, come together to try to mitigate the damages of the illness and to reach stability through therapy and medication.

They support each other through the search for the proper medications, though it is difficult for each individual to find the right ones for them. Their senses of humor and outlooks on life help each of them to life with the difficulties of living with the pain of mental illness.

The book is meant to be diverting and to tell a story, but also to educate people as to how the disorder works and the means of combatting it. It is meant for those suffering from the disorder and friends and family of those who have the illness.

How I Fell in Love Online Keynotes Dating Expo

Leave a comment

Dating websites, Keynote Address, and Dance Party are featured at the Online Dating Expo, September 7, 2013, at the DoubleTree Hotel San Francisco Airport.

SAN RAFAEL, CA, USA (July 25, 2013) — Contact: Tom Andrews, 415-507-9962

John and Loretta Gavin, creators of the new book Online Dating S*cks…but it’s how I fell in love, will keynote the Online Dating Expo, Saturday, September 7, 2013, 7pm-Midnight, at the DoubleTree Hotel San Francisco Airport, 835 Airport Blvd, Burlingame CA.

“One of the biggest mistakes in online dating is having s*x too early,” say The Gavins, (who barely avoided the mistake themselves). “Online dating makes getting dates EASIER, but falling in love HARDER. Among guys the ease of arranging dates online creates the mindset of ‘Next…always next.’ It then becomes difficult for men to be fully ‘present’ during any one date because of anticipation of dates to come. Men fall into the trap of making their goal to find dates rather than to find the right partner. As a result, women feel pressured to have s*x too early in the relationship, because they know this guy in front of them is likely dating other women as well. The result is lots of dates, but very few lasting relationships.

“It’s important to find out if this person you’re considering being intimate with is a good match for you,” say The Gavins. “If you don’t find out who they are, and if they’re right for you, before parting the sheets-it can be too late afterwards. The point of online dating should be to find your LAST first date rather than your NEXT one.”

John & Loretta Gavin, who recently married, are available to the news media for interviews by calling 209-202-4970. Their website is http://www.onlinedatingsucksbook.com.

The Online Dating Expo begins at 7pm with exhibits of leading dating websites. At 7:30pm, representatives of these websites will give a quick overview of the options they provide. The Keynote Address is at 8pm, followed by a Dance Party until midnight.

The Expo is co-sponsored by The International Association of Dating Websites, a non-profit trade association for the online dating industry, at iadw.org; The Society of Single Professionals, the world’s largest non-profit singles organization; and by numerous dating websites. Adults of all ages are welcome. The cost is $20 at the door. Anyone wishing more information may visit http://www.thepartyhotline.com or call 415-507-9962.
