Eposeidon’s Madbite Division Introduces New Knotted Vi-Blade Lures

Leave a comment

Eposeidon once again adds innovation to an angler’s fishing tackle arsenal with the Madbite™ M42 Knotted Vi-Blade Erratic Fluttering Action Metal Blade Bait.

Hempstead, NY, USA (April 8, 2014) — “There’s a whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on” with Eposeidon’s (http://www.eposeidon.com) new Madbite Knotted Vi-Blade lure.

Madbite’s revolutionary Madbite M42 Knotted Vi-Blade Erratic Fluttering Action Metal Blade Bait sinks fast with an erratic fluttering action and produces hard pulsating vibrations when pulled through the water. This metal blade bait features 2 “knots” on each side of the bait that cause even more water disturbance when in motion.

“The side-bulges push a lot of water and create intense pressure waves, vortices, and eddy currents that are picked up by the lateral lines of hunting fish. Combined with the vibrating action on retrieve, it’s a perfect lure for many conditions. It is a great tool for finding and catching fish when fishing deeper water,” says bass-pro Kyle Brewer.

Madbite’s Knotted Vi-Blade bait has multiple location options for tying on the line. The closer the knot is tied to the head — the greater the wobble. When tied on farther back, the wobble tightens.

The Knotted Vi-Blade comes in 2 sizes, 1 ¾ inch/ 45 mm weighing ¼ ounce/ 7 grams fitted with dual #8 VMC treble hooks, and 2 1/8 inch/ 55mm weighing in at ½ ounce/ 15 grams with #6 VMC trebles.

Both sizes of this dynamic vibe bait are available in 3 color patterns, Redhead, Sandstone Red, and Lava Rock Red. All have ultra-sharp, VMC red treble hooks and a dressed tail treble hook. Eposeidon‘s Madbite Division includes hard baits, soft baits, frog, and metal lures.

The Journey for Mama’s Babies, a Non-fiction Book by Melissa R. Pandolf Released Worldwide

Leave a comment

Melissa Pandolf, author and mother of four adopted children takes readers through her personal journey of the complex adoption process. The Journey for Mama’s babies is a story inspired by the process and unconditional love.

Patchogue, NY, USA (April 8, 2014) — The Journey for Mama’s Babies, enlightening, easy to read, and arrestingly honest, will captivate anyone who has ever navigated the intricacies of the adoption process or who cares about someone who has. Both inspiring and open-eyed, this tender, telling story of a family built across oceans, languages, and every imaginable obstacle will take hold of your heart, and make you hold your loved ones closer still. (http://www.facebook.com/thejourneyformamasbabies)

When Melissa Pandolf and her husband, Doug, began the adoption process, the hopeful mother-to-be had her sights set on quickly welcoming two beaming babies to make the Pandolf house a family home. However, after three years, four trips to Russia, one trip to Washington, DC, and two plane crashes that threatened to bring their dream down around them, she came to realize that a bigger destiny awaited them on the other side of the world. As the adoptive parents of four Russian siblings, the young Long Island couple learned the true meaning of family, and what it means to go the extra mile to give your children what they need.

Beginning with the first meeting with an adoption agency, The Journey for Mama’s Babies chronicles the Pandolfs’ three-year odyssey to bring their babies home. From her naïve initial assumptions about the process to her ultimate hard-won savvy and resolve, Pandolf shares every key aspect of the experience, including the unexpected depression that can be companion to this emotionally wrenching process. With clear-eyed candor, the author recounts the ups and downs, the unexpected twists, and the backward loops that frequently punctuated their mission.

“Finding the time to write about this amazing journey is an accomplishment in and of itself, but being able to produce a book that my children can read and re-read, and digest their journey at their own pace, of how they became “Mama’s Babies”, is by far the most proudest accomplishment of my life. I love my children fiercely and this book is just one way that I demonstrate my love for them,” says the author.

Being able to share the great lengths adoptive parents will go to in order to build their family through adoption, and also give non-adoptive families another angle to view adoption from, has been a blessing in disguise. I find that my readers are thankful for opening their eyes to a world that is full of assumptions.”

“Melissa has captured the complexity and the passion of the adoption process in this story. Her honest and ability to share even the most difficult aspects of the adoption process will help other families get through!” says Charlotte Torti MSW, LMSW, Senior Social Worker, Wide Horizons For Children.

The Journey for Mama’s Babies, by Melissa R. Pandolf, 194 pages in paperback, ISBN-10: 0615865429, ISBN-13: 978-0615865423, is published by Harpan Publishing (November 26, 2013). It is available through major on-line booksellers and select book stores.

Leave a comment

Vietnam’s first luxury tour operator (www.luxurytravels.asia) will exhibit at WTM Africa from 23-25 April 2014 in Sao Paolo, Brazil.

Hanoi, Vietnam, April 08, 2014 – WTM Latin America will showcase Luxury Travel destinations of Asia. Travel agents and tour operators will be invited to discover Vietnam and Cambodia at WTM Latin America.

Vietnam is a new holiday destination for Latin America travelers. Now, Asia’s most innovative luxury travel and tour company brings Vietnam high-end tourism products closer to travel agents in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

This is the second time, Luxury Travel Ltd. attends this show. The aim is to promote high-end tourism products in the leisure luxury segment and to find buyers who want to sell unique luxury travel experiences to discerning Latin American travelers.

World Travel Market Latin America, the leading global event for the Latin American travel industry, is a three day business-to-business (B2B) event which brings the world to Latin America and promotes Latin America to the world. To be staged annually in the economic powerhouse of Sao Paulo, World Travel Market Latin America is the event where Latin American travel companies will negotiate and conclude major deals, highlighting the area’s importance in the global travel and tourism industry.

“With our marketing efforts and commitments with our representative, we will attract more long haul travelers who wish to experience Vietnam and the Indochina Peninsula in style and luxury. At WTM Latin America, we invite travel sellers to do fam trip to experience our service before selling our products,” said says Hung Nguyen, Director of sales and marketing of Luxury Travel Ltd.,

“We highlight niche travel experiences, two set departures monthly and we select our top ten once-in-a-life-time trips in Vietnam and Indochina, highlighting 4 and 5 star hotels to sell wholesale to tour operators across Latin America. The frequent services by Gulf-based airlines (Qatar and Emirates), puts Luxury Travel’s offers of authentic encounters within easy reach of Latin America. We already have good GIT and FIT traffic from Latin Africa to the Indochina Peninsula.”

The Indochina peninsula (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and Myanmar), has become increasingly appealing to global travelers from long-haul destination such as Latin Africa.

Vietnam now has world class hotels and resorts, beaches and cuisine, in addition to its natural beauty, rich history and traditional culture. Travelers from Latin America travelling to Vietnam are looking for a more authentic experience and seek to have a deeper understanding of the country’s culture, food, history and everyday life.

While India is geared more toward mass market tourism, Indochina is an exotic destination that is attractive to a more selective class of travelers. Vietnam is becoming more and more recognized as a safe and favored destination for high end tourists from long haul destinations. 

Latin America is in a strong financial position at the moment and Pham Ha, stressed the importance of diversifying markets by participating in the Spanish and Portuguese speaking markets, which provide an ideal platform for the latest contemporary trends and the ability to communicate and establish business partnerships with experts and tourism companies. 

“We see our clients from Latin Africa combining multi-countries in one trip and an increase in the number of group tours, private leisure FITs and special interest tailor-made tours. Most of them prefer luxury tours; they expect authentic experiences in luxury travel as well as pampering, but they also want off-the-beaten-track adventures with impeccable service,” says Hung

“In Vietnam we have seen the completion of many luxurious hotels and resorts with names such as Marriott, Hyatt, Intercontinental, Six Senses and Amano’i. Vietnam in particular is increasingly being recognised as a destination for high-end global travelers.”

Its tourism infrastructure features a growing list of modern luxury and spa destinations, iconic colonial and boutique properties, recently opened golf courses, seaplane and helicopter flights from Hanoi to Halong Bay, and the launch of luxury yacht and river cruise services that provide a stress-free journey away from busy roads.

Halong Bay is about to enter the ultra-luxury market with the very first six-star boutique all-inclusive Emperor Cruises set to sail at the end of this year. Such improvements account for the recent growth in popularity of the country and prove that an enigmatic and alluring country such as Vietnam has nowhere to go but up.
