“Eat That Frog!: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time” Audiobook Now Available from Audible.com

Posted: 20 Mar 2011 05:04 AM PDT

Eat That Frog!: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time is available as a digital audiobook from Audible.com. The title, provided by The Audio Partners Publishing Corp. and authored by Brian Tracy, has also become an American Consumer News favorite..

The digital audiobook Eat That Frog!: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time, narrated by Brian Tracy, has received an average rating of 3.85 stars on Audible.com. The title has a running length of 2 hours and 40 min. The audiobook was first released in January 2007 and a sample is available for download.

Audible.com’s description of the audiobook is “There’s an old saying: if you eat a live frog first thing each morning, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that it’s probably the worst thing you’ll do all day. Using “eat that frog” as a metaphor for tackling the most challenging task of your day, the one you are most likely to procrastinate on, but also the one that might have the greatest positive impact on your life, Eat That Frog! shows you how to zero in on these critical tasks and organize your day. You’ll not only get more done faster, but get the right things done. In his trademark high-energy style, acclaimed speaker and best-selling author Brian Tracy cuts to the core of what is vital to effective personal time management: decision, discipline, and determination. He reminds us: “The purpose of time-management skills, of eating that frog, and getting more done in less time, is to enable you to spend more ‘face time’ with the people you care about, doing the things that give you the greatest amount of joy in life.”

A few issues have come to our attention and we are addressing them in a new release that we are about to submit to Apple. In the meantime:

* many of our users have tried to post positive reviews here on the App page, but for some reason the reviews are not appearing. We have emailed iTunes Connect Support and are trying to get this problem resolved as soon as possible. It is very frustrating for us and I’m sure it is for you too.

* a few users have had difficulties getting the app to load. We have been able to walk users through a work-around. The problem is a result of connectivity issues. Under certain limited situations, the app will detect a momentary connection problem and hang without warning you. Even if you correct the problem, the App may still not run. The solution is to remove the App from memory and restart it when you do have a good connection. Simply exit the App and double press the Home button on the bottom of the iPad. You will find the App in the bottom row with other apps in memory. Hold down the icon until it wobbles and press the ‘-’. It should now be removed from memory and you can restart the app. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any problems @ support@theappcompany.com We are here to help!

Exciting innovation expected to attract a new audience to the Suffolk Spring Garden Show

Once again, this year's Suffolk Spring Garden Show held at the Trinity Park over the Easter weekend is expected to attract thousands of green fingered enthusiasts but the announcement of an exciting new product, 'Plot in a Box', is set to spark interest from a whole new customer base.

(Vocus/PRWEB) 20 March 2011

Healthy, rewarding and eco-friendly; growing your own fruit and vegetables has its many benefits, but what if you don't have the time, energy, knowledge or garden for that matter? Deans' Nursery based at Mill Farm on the Suffolk and Essex border, has designed a ready-made solution.

Plot in a Box, a self-assembly raised bed complete with all you need to grow your own, is the brand new innovation from Deans'. From just £95, the package includes a 100x100x24cm raised bed (larger sizes available), two x 100 litre reusable garden bags filled with Deans' enriched topsoil blend, controlled release fertilizer, a 60 litre bag of manure and a choice of seeds, seedlings and plants from a recommended selection.

Making its first appearance at the Suffolk Spring Garden Show, 22-25 April 2011, Plot in a Box is expected to attract many gardening enthusiasts as well as first-time buyers, restaurateurs, schools, property developers and those who may be restricted by courtyard gardens.

"The best thing about Plot in a Box is that it allows anyone, anywhere to grow their own fresh, quality, fruit and vegetables – and you don't have to be a gardening expert; we'll provide everything you need," said Sarah Dean, manager of Deans', which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this April. "We're so excited about the launch, which falls in the same month that my dad and uncle started the business exactly 50 years ago."

Sarah and the team at Deans' worked closely with local timber merchant, Anglian Timber, to produce the framework for Plot in a Box. "We wanted to make sure the structure of the raised bed matched the quality of its contents, which is why we have used the trusted expertise of Anglian Timber," said Sarah. "It's designed for easy slot-assembly so customers will have their Plot in a Box doing its job in no time!"

To get your Plot in a Box, visit Deans' Nursery at the Suffolk Spring Garden Show, call 01206 250 485, or visit their website: http://www.millfarm.org. Delivery can be arranged.

Traditional Wooden Toys: Bumblebee launches toy cars for imaginative play

Posted: 20 Mar 2011 01:33 AM PDT

Traditional Wooden Toys: Bumblebee launches toy cars for imaginative play

Wooden Cars – Limitless Pure Play Power
Bumblebee Toys has a range of traditional wooden cars designed to provide hours of fun

(Vocus/PRWEB) 20 March 2011

Wooden cars offer a simplicity that takes a lot of beating. There's nothing to go wrong, no batteries to run down, no small parts to lose and no annoying sound effects, except those supplied by the child. There's just one hundred per cent long-lasting, imaginative play.

Psychologists have been studying child development for over 100 years from the early experiments of Freud and Piaget to modern highly controlled tests. Recent research looking at the play value of traditional versus electronic toys has highlighted the limiting factor of the defined start and end of most electronic games, as opposed to traditional toys that allow for free development of open-ended play ideas.

Bumblebee Toys, (bumblebeetoys.co.uk) a new online toyshop, has carefully selected a range of wooden vehicles that open up limitless play scenarios for the imaginative child to create different worlds and adventures, both indoors and out. These simple uncomplicated toys offer children hours and hours of fun and parents great value for money.

Traditionally manufactured in continental Europe, the sturdy and durable wooden toys comprise three different emergency vehicles that can come to the rescue of the range of four racing cars and three mini cars and trucks.

Made for heavy duty play, the all-wood vehicles are finished with high quality, brightly coloured, durable non-toxic paint. At 6.5cm long for the mini cars, and 10cm long for the bigger vehicles, they are exactly the right size and shape for small hands to hold and push along.

The Flizzi mini cars and trucks are just £2.99 each, while the bigger ambulance, fire truck, police car and racing cars are £4.95. All are available from the Bumblebee Toy website http://www.bumblebeetoys.co.uk.

Bumblebee Toys is a family company specialising in high quality toys made in the UK and Europe. While its products are only available online, its website aims to give the customer the experience of a friendly toy business with the convenience of modern internet shopping. All its products are sourced from manufacturers using sustainable and recyclable materials, who share the company's passion for innovative toys designed to stimulate, entertain and educate the modern child.

Made from heavy-duty stainless steel with a self tensioning poli-V belt drive and high efficiency ventilated motors, the peelers are built for continuous operation. An automatic unloading system further speeds up the prep times. Their sturdy construction means the peelers are suitable for high volume applications.

For ease of cleaning the bowl is removable and dishwasher safe as is the peeling disc, located at the bottom of the machine. The peeler's design means access to all components is simple, providing easy servicing and prolonging machine life.

“Scotland’s Zero Waste plans are wrong,” says Catering Equipment Suppliers Association, CESA

Posted: 20 Mar 2011 01:32 AM PDT

"Scotland's Zero Waste plans are wrong," says Catering Equipment Suppliers Association, CESA

CESA and the BHA have called for a rethink of Scotland's Zero Waste plans. They say food waste disposers and other treatment technologies provide a better, cheaper and more environmentally-sound solution than the proposed kerbside collection system.

(Vocus/PRWEB) 20 March 2011

"We fully support the need to reduce landfill and segregate food waste at source," says CESA chair Mick Shaddock. "But in their current state, Scotland's proposed Zero Waste regulations not only add a serious financial burden to Scottish caterers, they also ignore the technologies, already available, that can solve the issues more cheaply and more effectively."

CESA (the Catering Equipment Suppliers Association) has joined forces with the BHA (the British Hospitality Association) in a submission to Holyrood setting out the issues. Its key points are:

  •     The proposal to impose mandatory kerbside collection ignores the potential of established technologies, such as food waste disposers (FWDs) and composters, to achieve the Zero Waste objectives, more efficiently and more cheaply.
  •     The Bill's 'one solution' model (of kerbside collection of food waste for treatment) is a barrier to innovation in developing waste recycling and disposal technologies.
  •     Technologies that separate, pre-treat or process food waste before it leaves the premises significantly reduce the volume (of food waste) transported by road. By improving the management of dry, solid waste they reduce cost and increase energy efficiency.
  •     Health and security could be compromised under the proposals. For example, onsite equipment already plays a crucial role in Scottish hospitals, where immediate treatment of food waste is a significant and established hygiene benefit.
  •     If collection of the food waste is disrupted, for example by weather or industrial action, then a significant health hazard would be created.
  •     The onsite food waste treatment equipment already used in 2,700 Scottish businesses will be rendered redundant by the proposals (even though it does a more efficient job at a lower cost). Meanwhile, the tax payer will have to fund the building of new food waste processing plants.

CESA also criticises the concerns raised in the Zero Waste proposals about the 'potential adverse effects' of FWDs and other food waste treatment systems. "These concerns are misleading and incorrect," says Mick Shaddock. "We have provided Holyrood with robust, international scientific evidence to prove these technologies deliver an effective, environmentally-sound solution."

The Zero Waste Proposals in numbers:

  •     £1,500: the average cost to Scottish businesses to cover the cost of the proposals' food waste collection.
  •     2,700: the number of Scottish businesses that already have onsite food waste treatment equipment.
  •     2,700: the number of onsite treatment systems that will be made redundant by the proposals.
  •     17,000: the number of Scottish businesses that will be affected by the proposals.

CESA also points out that, in larger kitchens, onsite food waste equipment can actually contribute to the establishment's income. An award-winning composting system at Imperial College, London, achieved payback in less than a year, by recycling over 50 tonnes of food waste from the campus.

"The established food waste treatment technologies are a better way to achieve the Zero Waste targets and position Scotland at the forefront of innovation in waste reduction," says Mick Shaddock. "What's more, they provide a solution that's more environmentally-sound and at a lower cost."

The Catering Equipment Suppliers Association (CESA) is the authoritative voice of the catering equipment industry, representing over 150 companies who supply, service and maintain all types of commercial catering equipment – from utensils to full kitchen schemes.

Woodworth Vineyards Pinot Noir Wins A Top Award

Posted: 20 Mar 2011 01:01 AM PDT

Woodworth Vineyards Pinot Noir Wins A Top Award

A tiny winery in the hills above Temecula has turned the wine world on its ear by winning a medal at a competition that attracts the top Pinot Noirs in the world.

Temecula, CA (PRWEB) March 20, 2011

Woodworth Vineyard's 2008 Pinot Noir won a Gold Medal at the 9th Annual Pinot Noir Summit and finished third in its judging category. It's the only Pinot Noir still wine grown and produced in the Temecula Valley wine region.

Woodworth's 2008 Pinot Noir achieved scores of 93 and 94 from judges who tasted more than 360 competing wines from the United States, France, Italy, Australia and New Zealand.

"We're obviously ecstatic that a panel of judges including sommeliers, wine makers, wine writers, chefs and wine lovers, determined that our Pinot was among the best," said Marlene Woodworth, who owns the winery with her winemaker husband, Gary. "It was even more exciting that we won while competing against traditional Pinot Noir strongholds such as Carneros in Napa, Santa Barbara and Russian River."

Southern California is generally considered too hot to grow Pinot Noir. Woodworth Vineyards, however, enjoys a unique micro-climate with warm days and very cool nights coupled with coastal fog in the mornings, an ideal environment for Pinot.

"Pinot Noir lovers spoke out loud and clear at the 9th Annual Pinot Noir Summit," Barbara Drady, Pinot Noir Summit organizer and wine evangelist. "In an unmistakable statement of preference, they embraced wines of elegance and varietal authenticity rather than burly Syrah-like Pinots, the muscular Pinot Noirs made popular by a few influential reviewers and their publications."

Described as the "most romantic of wines," the 2008 Pinot Noir from Woodworth has notes of bright cherry and little bit of spice followed by a big berry taste accentuated by soft tannins and a lingering finish with smoky hints of tobacco. Gary and Marlene Woodworth produce all of their wines in small batches. Only 140 cases of the 2008 Pinot Noir were made. Video of wine expert and chef Patrick Bartlett discussing Woodworth Vineyards Pinot Noir.

The Woodworths purchased 45 acres in De Luz in 2000. Eight acres are planted with grapes, including nearly 3 acres devoted exclusively to Pinot Noir. The Pinot vines were grafted onto Syrah, Carmenere and Cabernet Sauvignon root stock over the last five years. Woodworth Vineyards also produces Chardonnay, Syrah, Merlot, a White Merlot (Golden Maggie), a blend of Chardonnay and Muscat (Sweet Sophie) and a red blend (Black Dog).
