UglyDeck.com Announces New Service Territory in Rochester, Minnesota

Leave a comment

UglyDeck.com has expanded its service territory to include Rochester, Minn., and is proud to announce the addition of Jim Caron to their team to serve this new expansion.

Burnsville, MN, USA (January 31, 2016) — The Minnesota deck builders at UglyDeck.com are excited to announce that they are expanding their services to the Rochester, Minnesota area. Just like the other areas throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin that UglyDeck.com currently serves, this new territory will now have access to all of UglyDeck.com’s services – from building decks to replacing existing decks and railings. UglyDeck.com’s maintenance free decking materials assures customers that they’re receiving high quality decking materials that will stand the test of time, and now Rochester residents will have access to these same materials.

The Rochester division of UglyDeck.com will be led by Jim Caron. Caron has over 20 years of home improvement experience, working as an independent contractor for many years. He has managed everything from large projects with multiple crews to smaller projects, providing quality craftsmanship and excellent customer service for every type of job.

Though his experience and design skills are immensely valuable, Caron also prides himself on his ability to listen to the customer’s needs. “After all, we’re not selling the decks we want to build, we’re helping our customers purchase the ones that fit their design and budget,” says Caron.

This customer-first focus has helped Caron build relationships and a strong client base in and around the Rochester area. Rich W. says, “I had Jim Caron come to my home and give me an estimate on a project…after he looked at my plans, he came up with a better idea which he said would save me a little money. I hired him and was pleasantly surprised when he was done, it came in under his estimate; he also made sure we didn’t have waste around the house when he was completed. I would recommend his work to anyone looking to add value to their home.”

Customers Bob and Wendy also added, “We were referred to Jim by a co-worker. When Jim came out to our house, we were impressed on how well he listened to our ideas and then added his own. Throughout the project, Jim communicated with us and made this a painless experience. We couldn’t be any happier with how our new deck turned out. It totally completes our backyard!”

If you’re in the Rochester area and want to find out more about UglyDeck.com’s maintenance free decks or get a quote on your springtime plans for a new deck, contact Jim Caron at (507) 210-1358, or email jim@uglydeck.com.

GiftWorksPlus Announces Exclusive Line of Body Butter to Soothe and Heal Dry Skin

Leave a comment

Though GiftWorksPlus is known for their customizable picture frames, they also carry an exclusive line of body butter, which will be a great addition to your next gift this winter.

Waukesha, WI, USA (January 31, 2016) — GiftWorksPlus, known for customized picture frames and personalized products, also carries an exclusive line of scented and unscented body butters. Perfect for the Midwest’s cold winter, this line of body butter not only makes a great gift, but is a necessity during these drier months of the year.

While regular lotion consists of a combination of oil and water bound together with an emulsifier, body butter is typically made up of shea butter and oil for a thicker, more luxurious feel. Lotion’s consistency is lighter than body butter and has a lower oil content. Body butter creates a barrier on the skin, sealing in moisture and protecting skin from harsh wind environmental impurities.

Most body butters contain vitamin A to heal dry or damaged skin and its thicker texture provides longer-lasting protection, making it an ideal choice when dry skin also needs intense moisture and healing. Body butter makes a great remedy for treating dry, chapped, or wind-burned skin.

GiftWorksPlus offers Smooth as Silk Body Butter, available in two sizes and four different scents: Juniper Berry, Coconut Papaya, Honeydew, Island Breeze and also in Unscented. This deluxe body butter blends shea and macadamia oils for a non-greasy moisturizer. This no-wax body butter formula can help repair dry and chapped skin on knees, elbows, hands and heels. Smooth as Silk body butter is also enriched with vitamins A and E for extra healing properties.

GiftWorksPlus has long been a leader in unique personalized gifts and this line of body butter provides an even greater range of thoughtful gifts in addition to their engraved picture frames. So while stocking up on body butter for yourself and your friends, make sure to check out GiftWorksPlus’ large selection of engraved gifts and custom wooden frames. Visit GiftWorksPlus today to browse their selection of body butters and other customized gifts.

Though GiftWorksPlus is known for their customizable picture frames, they also carry an exclusive line of body butter, which will be a great addition to your next gift this winter.

Joe Robaina is Awarded the First Ever Military Residential Specialist Certification in Miami-Dade County

Leave a comment

The Platinum Worldwide Group at the Keller Williams Realty Coral Gables – Coconut Grove market center announced today that Joe Robaina is awarded the first ever Military Residential Specialist certification awarded in Miami-Dade county specifically to better assist Veterans, as well as active service members and their families.

Coral Gables, FL, USA — The Platinum Worldwide Group is a real estate team at the Keller Williams Realty Coral Gables – Coconut Grove market center in the greater Miami area and they announced today that Joe Robaina, a broker-associate and the team’s leader, has been awarded the Military Residential Specialist certification after completing the first course offered for that purpose in Miami-Dade county.

The Military residential Specialist website (gomilres.com) describes the program as follows:

“The Military Residential Specialist (MilRES) Program offers real estate professionals the opportunity to help ‘military’ clients and their families while growing their own business in this important but under-served market segment.”

“MilRES® was founded in 2010 by nationally known speaker Buddy West. After two years of researching the subject, traveling to military installations and interviewing military officers and enlisted service members, veterans, their families, Congressman and heads of the Veteran’s administration, the MilRES® team was ready with an outline and plan to develop the class. This class was not written by a ‘class writer or developer,’ but from content from the military for Realtors® to serve the military.”

Here is a link to a YouTube video by congressman John Carney on this subject: https://youtu.be/8fhC5jqMR2I

Mr. Robaina had this to say about his reasons for seeking out this certification:

“As a professional real estate adviser, I am always looking for ways to increase my knowledge and ability to help those who rely on my and my team for real estate advice and services. However, in this case, I was especially keen to the opportunity to become better equipped to serve the special needs of Veterans, active and retired military personnel because I feel a debt to them and their families for the sacrifices they all make to serve and protect us.”

Mr. Robaina is currently preparing a series of seminars and webinars designed to inform the South Florida community about the needs and many programs available specifically for Veterans, active and retired members of the military, as well as the National Guard, Reserves, Coast Guard, Fires, Police and other branches of government service personnel line the FBI and CIA through his affiliation with the “Heroes” program which provides additional financial benefits through reimbursement of real estate commissions and reduced fee or no-fee programs offered by affiliated mortgage providers, and other service providers.

Anyone interested in participating or attending one of these presentations or simply learning more about any of these programs can contact Mr. Robaina by visiting his website: http://www.platinumworldwidegroup.com.

Dakota Dental Announces Teeth Straightening Services For All Ages

Leave a comment

Dakota Dental offers teeth straightening services through both Invisalign and traditional braces.

Apple Valley, MN, USA — The Apple Valley dentists at Dakota Dental want patients to have their best possible smile. From regular checkups and teeth cleanings to a total smile makeover, Dakota Dental has many dental services for patients to get a great smile. One of the most dramatic ways to improve a smile is to straighten it, by using traditional metal braces or using Invisalign.

Straightening teeth not only improves a smile cosmetically, but it also helps correct bite issues as well. Traditional braces consist of wire and metal brackets, and are affixed to the front of the teeth. Traditional braces are especially helpful for more complex teeth issues, from large gaps, fixing bites, and fixing crooked or crowded teeth. Traditional braces can also move the teeth faster than Invisalign, though the treatment plans for Invisalign can be shorter.

Invisalign is a set of clear trays that are custom-made for each individual patient. These trays are comfortable, removable, and they are typically changed out every two weeks. A benefit of Invisalign is, as its name implies, that it is virtually invisible. That makes Invisalign a great option for adult patients. Invisalign is typically used for fixing more cosmetic issues versus fixing complex dental problems.

Though knowing the difference between traditional braces and Invisalign, it’s important to discuss these options with your dentist to figure out the best choice for you. The family dentists at Dakota Dental will work with you and discuss your options. All it takes are a few simple steps:

1. Contact Dakota Dental to make a consultation appointment.

2. Discuss your options – Invisalign vs. braces – to see if straightening your teeth is a more simple or more complex fit, and to see which option makes the most sense for you and your teeth. You and your dentist can also discuss cost and what would make the most sense for you.

3. Come up with a treatment plan with your dentist.

4. Start creating a perfect smile!

Dakota Dental offers both traditional braces and Invisalign, and has years of experience helping patients get the perfect teeth they’ve been dreaming of.

KastKing® Breaks Out Unique Fishing Reel

Leave a comment

A new concept to thwart fishing line tangles wraps itself around the KastKing® Mako Spinning Reel.

Garden City, Long Island, NY (January 26, 2016) — KastKing®, a division of Eposeidon, Inc. (http://www.eposeidon.com), has come out with a new innovative spinning reel for 2016 named the KastKing® Mako 3500.

Although the key features of the KastKing® Mako 3500 include an impressive line retrieve rate for its size, an exceptional drag rated at 22 lbs./ 10 kg from its oversized drag washers, and 8 + 1 shielded stainless steel bearings, anglers will appreciate the revolutionary design rotor brushes that prevent their fishing line from dropping down on to the spool skirt during retrieve. The exclusive rotor brushes on the Mako spinning reels reduce loops and snarls resulting in a more pleasant fishing experience. This unique antifouling spinning reel rotor design is not available from other brands.

The KastKing® Mako 3500 reel gets its amazing smoothness from 8 stainless steel shielded ball bearings plus one instant stop anti-reverse. A beefy reel foot made from aero-grade aluminum alloy and a deep aluminum spool machined from the same material that retrieves 36 inches of line per turn of its handle give the Mako spinning reel a rock-solid feel.

KastKing® Mako 3500 reels are finished in black and silver with a distinctive spool lip gold accent, have a right hand or left hand reversible CNC machined aluminum handle, a 5.1: 1 gear ratio, and a EVA flat paddle non-slip knob. A Mako 3500 weighs 11.82oz/ 335g and has a line capacity of (mm/m) 0.25mm/190m, 0.30/130, 0.35/100 and a monofilament line capacity of (lbs/ yds) 8 lb / 240 yards, 10 lb /195 yards , 12 lb/ 165 yards.

“Like many KastKing® products, the KastKing® Mako 3500 stands out due to its inventive design features,” says Tom Gahan, marketing director at Eposeidon, Inc.. “Mako’s rotor brushes keep any line that has spilled over the spool up where it belongs and virtually eliminates line overrun loop fowling. There’s nothing quite like the KastKing® Mako out on the market.”

KastKing® Mako 3500 will have a MSRP of $69.98 and be discounted to sell in the mid-$40 range at http://www.eposeidon.com, http://www.amazon.com/kastking, and other select online retailers.

ABOUT EPOSEIDON:
Eposeidon (http://www.eposeidon.com) brings a fresh, innovative approach to anglers by offering quality fishing tackle products at the best prices and no cost, or low cost shipping. Eposeidon’s goal is to exceed expectations through outstanding customer service and superior product value to their customers. Eposeidon is continually expanding its product lines, which include KastKing®, an ICAST 2015 Best of Show award-winning brand, fishing line, fishing reels, and fishing rods, MadBite fishing lures, fishing tools, and accessories, KastKing® Ecooda Pro Series reels, and other fishing tackle products, to meet individual fishing equipment needs.

ALIPAC Asks Trump Supporters To Contribute to Insurgent GOP Candidates

Leave a comment

Raleigh, NC, USA — Contact: Americans for Legal Immigration PAC | WilliamG@alipac.us | (866) 703-0864

With illegal immigration being the top issue of the GOP primaries for the first time in modern history, and with the leading GOP Candidate for President ascending due to his promise to deport illegals and Muslim refugees while financing his own campaign, ALIPAC is asking Donald Trump supporters to focus their donations on insurgent GOP candidates running against Republican incumbents that are likely to join with Democrats to oppose the Trump immigration plans.

ALIPAC has compiled an unprecedented list of Republican incumbents that have been documented supporting amnesty for illegal aliens despite the fact they are eager to convince GOP voters otherwise. This list is called the Cantor List and it now contains 178 GOP incumbents that stand with John McCain, Marco Rubio, Jeb bush, Eric Cantor, and Barack Obama in support of amnesty for illegal aliens!

“Since Mr. Trump has said he has no need for donations from his highly energized supporters, their financial support would be wisely spent backing GOP insurgent candidates that would back his tough enforcement agenda. The targets on our Cantor List are the men and women currently in congress that have blood on their hands for all of the deaths and destruction caused by illegal aliens that freely enter and roam America with government support due to Obama and his GOP facilitators and protectors,” said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. “Regardless of which candidate you favor for President, the ‘Trump Effect’ is creating a powerful campaign coattail by which any GOP insurgent challenger can rise to the top of the race by exposing the amnesty support record of the 178 incumbents on the Cantor List! But it will not help America to elect an outsider candidate to the Presidency if these GOP lawmakers that support amnesty in Congress are reelected!”

Many GOP insurgent candidates have already emerged against GOP incumbents and made the incumbent’s support for amnesty for illegals a top campaign issue.

Eric Cantor’s support for amnesty for illegals, like the 178 new targets on the Cantor List, is the main reason he lost his race in 2014 to GOP newcomer Dave Brat. While Cantor outspent Brat 40 to 1, Brad defeated Cantor in a landslide with the help of his campaign manager Zach Werrell.

Adding to ALIPAC’s ability to target GOP incumbents that agree with Democrats like Pelosi and Obama on amnesty for illegals, Zach Werrell has launched a new campaign consulting firm to help more GOP primary insurgents repeat the astounding overthrow of Eric Cantor. Many of the tips on how to accomplish such a feat are in Werrell’s first of its kind book How to Bag a RINO.

“We need America to hear our call!” said William Gheen. “We need more GOP primary challengers lining up against Cantor List targets and using the resources and know how obtained from the Brat vs. Cantor race. We also need all of those Republican donors that would usually focus their funds on the star power candidates for President to focus their much need donations on the candidates and effort to change Congress by electing more anti-establishment anti-amnesty republicans in the 2016 primaries.”
