Colorado Company Offers New Stun Guns, Self Defense Alternatives to Guns

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 00:00:00 PST

Glenwood Springs, CO (IPRWIRE) Mon. Oct. 6th, 2008 -- Stun guns and pepper spray are becoming the most popular methods of self defense and Colorado based BodyGuardX, www.bodyguardx.com has taken notice. They offer a large range of self-defense products that are helping to keep people safe and give them peace of mind. The problem with guns, as the company sees it, is that they are almost always fatal. Guns are also much more dangerous to keep in the house than stun guns or pepper spray, especially if there are children in the house.

Manual De La Paz, owner of BodyGuardX, states that whenever he watches the news he is made aware of how many people are in need of his product. Not only is man on man violence occurring all the time, there are also numerous reports of people being attacked by animals. Carrying an item such as a taser or pepper spray can help protect against instances such as these without doing any actual harm to the target of these weapons.

Besides the stung guns and pepper spray, the company also offers alarms such as the popular pool alarm. More than 900 children die in drowning accidents each year; this can be prevented when the proper precautions are made. The pool alarms provided by BodyGuardX set off an alarm in the home and around the pool which can notify you if your child is in danger.

These products can provide you with peace of mind in an unsettling world. Whether your daughter is going off to college or you need something for when you hear noises around your home at night, this company has exactly what you are looking for.

About BodyGuardX:
BodyGuardX was formed in October, 2007 as a division of LaserTeQ Systems. The company is based in Glenwood Springs, Colorado and often performs personal demonstrations of their products to banks, hotels, company meetings, and other locales where their products are needed.

Is the Food and Beverage Industry on the Leading Edge of the US Recession?

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 00:00:00 PST

Glendale, CA (IPRWIRE) Mon. June 30th, 2008 -- According to an article that appeared in the Sacramento Bee on June 21, 2008, “Retailers across California have eliminated more than 20,000 jobs in the past year. In greater Sacramento, 900 jobs have disappeared at hotels, restaurants and food-service companies since 2007.”

"The California economy is sputtering," said Jon C Mejia, national sales manager for Amlex. “And based on calls we’re getting from commercial real estate agents, this is just the tip of the iceberg.”

When Amlex asked restaurant operators a series of questions about the economy, a majority of them responded that they are scaling back expansion plans.

“This is as bad as any recession I’ve ever seen,” said one restaurant owner. “It seems more and more people are nesting and cooking at home to save money.”

With gas and other commodity prices exploding, both consumers and operators alike are bracing themselves for what appear to be turbulent financial waters ahead.

For more information about issues related to the food and beverage industry, call Jon C. Mejia, author of Insider Secrets Revealed: A Liquor License Specialist Tells All.

For more information about the CA lottery process and a fresh perspective on any aspect of the controversial liquor license industry contact Jon Mejia. He can be reached at 800-711-2114 ext 350.

Essen Travel Makes Traveling to and from Los Angeles Hotels Simple

Thu, 09 Aug 2007 00:00:00 PST

White Plains, NY (IPRWIRE) Thu, August 9th, 2007 – Essen Travel (http://www.essentravel.com) is proud to feature a new mapping tool on their website. This mapping tool makes traveling to and from Los Angeles hotels a lot easier than it used to be. Many tourists struggle when they visit the city because they are afraid to get lost in city traffic. This is an understandable fear, but when consumers have a mapping feature that will make traveling to a hotel or from a hotel to a zoo, museum, sporting event, or the home of friends and family members available to them, they can travel with confidence.

There is nothing worse than getting lost in a city that you are not at all familiar with. Los Angeles sees many tourists during every month of the year, and many don’t see as much of the city as they might have wanted because they are afraid of driving. When consumers have a reliable mapping tool they can venture out from their Los Angeles hotels and see as much of the city as they would like to.

When asked how simple the mapping feature was to use, Essen travel replied, “Simply click the ‘map all hotels’ button, and a window will pop up that will zoom in and out, navigate in any direction, and give a choice of a large or small map.” This mapping feature makes it simple for tourists to find out where they are going and drive there with confidence whether it’s the ball park or other destinations.

Essen Travel Makes Finding San Diego Hotels Easier than Ever Before

Thu, 02 Aug 2007 03:00:00 PST

White Plains, NY (IPRWIRE) Thur, August 2nd, 2007 -- Essen Travel (http://www.essentravel.com) is proud to announce their new landmark mapping feature that will make finding San Diego hotels, as well as the hotels located in other areas of the world, easier than ever before. Essen Travel has created this feature to enable their website users to quickly locate the hotels that will be in the immediate vicinity of their destination.

When you travel to an area that you are unfamiliar with you make an attempt to find a hotel near the area that you will be visiting. This would seem to be straight forward enough, but it can be difficult when you look at a map because you don’t know the roads, you don’t know the neighborhoods, and you can end up in a less than desirable location when you don’t have this knowledge. Finding San Diego hotels, as well as other hotels in any specific location, shouldn’t be this difficult. In fact, you should quickly and easily be able to find a hotel that meets all of your needs that is in a safe area near your destination.

Essen Travel has created their new landmark mapping feature to make the search for the right hotel easier. The company has even made the tool easy to use stating, “With the new Landmark Mapping feature from Essen Travel you can locate the closest hotel to your favorite landmark. Just click on the ‘Show Hotels Near Landmark’ button and you will instantly be shown the hotels nearest to your favorite landmark.” Consumers will find this feature appealing, making it much easier to book their hotel stay near their destination. Of course, this feature doesn’t just work in California or even the United States; consumers can use it to book their hotels near their destination of choice all over the world.

UfindVacations Inc. Shows Consumers the Benefits of a Bed and Breakfast

Tue, 31 Jul 2007 00:00:00 PST

Ann Arbor, Michigan (IPRWIRE) Fri, July. 30th, 2007 -- UfindVacations Inc. (http://www.ufindvacations.com), a Michigan-based vacation locator, is more than happy to unlock and open the door on the beauty and comfort that can be found at a bed and breakfast. Many consumers assume that they cannot afford the luxury that a B&B offers but this simply isn’t true. There are lovely options all over the world that often cost about the same, or sometimes even less, than a hotel room.

Who wants to go on vacation and stay in a drab hotel or a setting that is just like your setting at home? The whole idea behind a vacation is that you get away from your normal settings and sort of break free. A bed and breakfast can offer you a different setting that will relax and inspire you, and it can be done comfortably and affordably. Each B&B is different because most are designed to the owner’s tastes or follow a specific theme.

Some of the amenities that many consumers enjoy at a B&B include a Jacuzzi tub, breakfast in bed and private settings. This is in addition to the wealth of knowledge that the innkeeper probably has about the area. While prices vary from place to place, you can usually find great deals at these places that will meet or beat what you would pay at a hotel. So, why not?

UfindVacations Inc. has been very successful in linking the right consumers with the right B&B opportunities. One satisfied customer said of their experience, "When we opened the door we were greeted by the smell of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. After we signed in we were shown around and when we opened the door to our room an envelope was on the pillow and there were a dozen roses on the nightstand, both arranged by the innkeeper. We then visited a restaurant in town recommended by the innkeeper and when we went back to the B&B we enjoyed a wine and cheese social event. In the morning we woke up to the best gourmet breakfast ever!"

About UfindVacations Inc.:
UfindVacations Inc (http://www.ufindvacations.com) provides consumers with all of the necessary information to plan their own vacations. On the website consumers will find listings of resorts, cabins, B&B’s, and campgrounds. All one needs to do is choose the location to be connected with great information to plan the perfect vacation.

New Hi-Tech Wedding Planning Book Just Released By Founders Of Wedding Website Service WedShare.com

Thu, 10 May 2007 00:00:00 PST

San Jose, California (IPRWIRE) Thurs, May 10th, 2007 -- WedShare.com (www.wedshare.com) is a personal wedding website service that allows engaged couples to create an interactive website for their wedding in minutes, with no technical experience required. Personal websites are just one of a number of tools, resources, and tips covered in the newly released book "e-Plan Your Wedding: How to Save Time and Money with Today's Best Online Resources."

In reviewing the book, the Library Journal says: "Technology has even changed traditional rituals, so this solid guide introducing couples to wedding websites and online planning tools comes as no surprise… the authors take care to reassure technophobes."

WedShare.com founders Crystal and Jason Melendez spent nearly a year organizing and hand-selecting resources to compile into the comprehensive 480-page book.

"It's a complete guide," Crystal Melendez says, "covering everything from engagement to honeymoon. Wedding books are typically either worksheet-oriented or etiquette-oriented. Few provide online resources in any great detail. We wanted this book to include everything, from worksheets and checklists to etiquette, and we wanted to make sure that our readers take advantage of every time- and money-saver available today."

"Many current wedding books include some wedding site information," says the Library Journal, "but this guide goes further."

According to Melendez, 2.5 million couples tie the knot each year, and spend an average of $26,000 per wedding. These 21st century newlyweds are older (the average age of brides today is 27), many have careers, and they usually bear most or all of the financial burden themselves. That means engaged couples are under more time and financial pressure than ever.

Using the communications and organizational power of the web, "e-Plan Your Wedding" shows how it is now possible to take shortcuts that save time and money. Tools like personal wedding websites -- where guests can find maps, directions, hotel info, and even RSVP right online -- are thoroughly covered.

Even the grooms are getting involved. "Technology gives the guys something to do that they can enjoy," Jason Melendez says. "Brides today want their guys to give them a hand, and grooms want a say in where their money is going, though they may not be into flowers and lace. There are ways the guys can make a big contribution to the planning without having to become one of the girls. We're seeing a big trend in the grooms becoming more active."

Launch Of New Directory On Travel Site Makes Searching For Las Vegas Hotels Easier

Wed, 14 Feb 2007 00:00:00 PST

White Plains, New York (IPRWIRE) Wed, Feb. 14th, 2007 -- Essen Travel (www.essentravel.com) is announcing a new online directory and search capability that allows users to quickly and easily find information about travel destinations and hotels. This unique service makes it simple to search by location for hotels, vacation rentals, and much more. The website also includes destination guides to help travelers determine their itineraries and book vacation activities.

With spring right around the corner, everyone is looking forward to warmer weather and vacations. One of the most popular places to visit is Las Vegas, with millions of visitors passing through the city known for gambling and entertainment. Unfortunately, such a popular location can turn up a lot of useless information on the Internet when searching for a place to stay. At Essen Travel, the newly designed search capability takes users immediately to a list of available Las Vegas hotels that have already been rated and reviewed.

Best of all, users can find great information on favorite destinations for spring travel this year and all of the accommodations available. Those who intend to stay at one of the lucrative Las Vegas hotels, for example, can read about each one in detail without performing separate searches for each one.

One satisfied consumer writes: "All I did was choose a city, and I received a long list of hotels, each of which gave me details on the location, features, rooms, amenities, and even area attractions. In fact, it was so well researched that policies and driving directions from the airport are included."

Visit www.essentravel.com to view the new, searchable website that includes all pertinent information about favorite vacation destinations including Las Vegas.

Santa Barbara, CA (IPR Wire) June 23, 2006 -- Alaska's Inside Passage is known as one of the most beautiful areas of the world to cruise with its breathtaking views of wildlife, vast forests, and glaciers.

Cruise Alaska's Inside Passage on a private yacht where you will see parts of Alaska that a large cruise ship cannot access.

Alaska offers opportunities for luxury Alaska cruises that are second to none. AIPR enables passengers to view the last untouched wilderness of the world firsthand. Our private Alaska cruise will enable to do things like catch crab, shrimp and fish off the deck of your private yacht and let our staff transform it into a gourmet meal. In addition passengers will have Zodiacs and Kayaks at their disposal throughout the entire voyage to get an even closer experience to Alaska nature. The Midnight Sun can accommodate up to six passengers and specializes in cruises between Juneau and Ketchikan. The Midnight Sun offers an experience that is unattainable when enjoying an Alaska cruise on a commercial liner.

Experience all that Alaska has to offer with the Midnight Sun's new owner and captain, Bob Wostmann. Capt. Bob brings with him over thirty-five years of boating experience. Through his twenty-four summers of exploration of Alaska's panhandle, he knows the best locations for adventure.
