Equestrian Properties Gaining Significant Interest Among Homebuyers

Equestrian Properties Gaining Significant Interest Among Homebuyers

Owner/Broker, Judy Fallon of Equine Homes Real Estate reports a growing demand for equestrian real estate among homebuyers and in addition to professionals commonly associated with these specialty properties.

Amherst, NH (PRWEB) March 22, 2011

Equestrian Properties are residences that are capable of accommodating horses. These specialty properties are able to accommodate the gentleman farmer to professional riders and trainers. There continues to be a high demand for equestrian homes for sale and similar estates among buyers, notes Judy Fallon, owner/broker of Equine Homes Real Estate, LLC.

"Equine real estate continues to have significant interest from homebuyers and investors seeking a property for themselves and their horses," says Fallon. "These properties not only serve their main purpose as primary residences or country homes for the new owners, but also fulfill their passion for a lifestyle change in this niche market."

These fine homes are situated throughout Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. These areas are noted for their dramatic scenery and four distinct seasons. Fallon goes on to add that "there are many historic properties available here, as well as new construction that captures the heritage and charm so closely associated with the area."

Heading towards the southeastern end of the country, Fallon says that homebuyers considering a horse property for sale often select Florida, where the climate is temperate all year round and terrain is open and level. In addition, Florida is the home of the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) and Horse Shows in the Sun (HITS), both regarded as prestigious events in the equestrian industry.

Over the last 15 years, Equine Homes Real Estate has rapidly established itself as the premier real estate firm specializing in country homes, hobby farms and horse farms for sale in the New England area and the state of Florida. "We handle all types of equestrian properties–from private residences and equine facilities, to luxury equestrian estates and open land," says Fallon. "Our goal is to deliver only the highest caliber of professional service and personal attention, and our robust and reliable network of Realtors® is always available to provide effective solutions to challenges and to advise clients with their best interests at the forefront."

Indie Author Lee Kessler Hits Amazon.com Best Seller Lists with “White King Rising”

Posted: 22 Mar 2011 04:10 AM PDT

Los Angeles, CA, March 22, 2011 –(PR.com)– Indie author Lee Kessler recently joined W.E.B. Griffin, Jeff Shaara, and James Rollins on two of Amazon’s top 100 lists on March 15. According to Amazon.com “White King Rising” scored # 55 in the category of Best Seller in War Fiction in books and #71 Best Seller in Political Fiction eBooks on Kindle.

Lee Kessler, a veteran film and TV actress in a recent interview stated, “I wrote the espionage novels ‘White King and the Doctor’ and ‘White King Rising’ after seeing signs of Fifth Column activity in the United States which has unwittingly been aiding Al-Qaeda. I felt I uncovered something so important that the outcome of the War on Terror depended on it being known.”

“I knew I was on the right track about how terrorists think and the dangers we as Americans face,” said Kessler, “when Steve Luckey, International Counter Terrorist Specialist in his review wrote, ‘…Lee Kessler has done the free world a genuine favor!’ and Sharon Warner, former NASA Public Affairs Officer & Strategic Communications Consultant commented on Amazon that ‘["White King Rising"] creates a ‘bird’s eye view’ connecting the dots of the back story now aimed at America’s total demise … exposes the real world threats and who and what are actually behind them.’”

Gerald R. Molen, Academy Award Winning Producer of “Schindler’s List” and “Jurassic Park” said of “White King Rising, “The book rocks! This fast-paced, stand-alone epic has me wondering how much of it is actually fiction. It will challenge all of your senses as each page reveals yet another move in the ‘game’.”

In “White King and the Doctor” and “White King Rising”, Lee Kessler exposes the tactics used by terrorist Ayman Al-Zawahiri to bring down America from within. Ex-CIA analyst James Mikolas enlists Gen Y’ers Andy Weir and Brian Washington Carver to leverage their technology and computer gaming skills to stop Zawahiri from triggering his doomsday scenario against the United States—set to launch June 30, 2011.

For more information about Lee Kessler, her books, read reviews and to see and hear interviews with her, visit http://www.WhiteKingRising.com. “White King Rising” and “White King and the Doctor” novels are available at Amazon.com and as a Kindle eBook.

DICKEY-john Corporation to be Featured on American Farmer

Posted: 22 Mar 2011 04:10 AM PDT

Auburn, IL, March 22, 2011 –(PR.com)– DICKEY-john Corporation, based in Auburn, IL, a leading manufacturer of precision agriculture and moisture testing products, announced today that they will be featured on an upcoming episode of American Farmer.

The episode will highlight the importance of precision agriculture in modern farming. With advances in sensor and data technology, more farmers are turning to precision ag to maximize profits while reducing waste. Precision ag technology enables precision application control, including seeding, spraying, anhydrous, fertilizing, steering, and section control. Additionally, moisture analysis technology allows farmers to test grain and make informed decisions when a field is ready for harvest. Broadcast is scheduled for Fall, 2011, on a combination of national cable and satellite networks. Dates and show times will be announced at a later date.

“Technology will continue to play a big part in farming,” said Pat Fuchs, DICKEY-john product manager. “As machinery, seed, fuel, and fertilizer costs continue to rise, it is crucial for farmers to run their operations as efficiently as possible. Precision ag technology helps to maximize payback, despite the battle of increasing input costs. DICKEY-john provides a variety of precision farming solutions, from planting to harvest, that provide more accurate control over tractors and implements, thereby increasing yields, reducing input costs, and maximizing profitability.”

While DICKEY-john specializes in sensors, monitors, and control systems for farming tractors and implements, their scope reaches beyond the agriculture industry to also include the public works industry. Key products include control systems for seed and fertilizer application to aide in crop production; planter monitors for seed rate monitoring; grain moisture testers and constituent analyzers used by commercial elevators and individual producers; ground speed sensors for ground speed measurement; and control systems used for maintenance of roadways. DICKEY-john engineers have also played a key role in the development of the ISO11783 that standardizes electronics for agriculture machinery so that tractors and implements “plug and play” together, regardless of the manufacturer.

“We are proud to be partnering with DICKEY-john in this upcoming segment on precision agriculture and moisture testing,” said Adrien Aniceto, producer for the series. “Advancements in science and technology are having a profound impact on the agricultural industry and we are looking forward to sharing this with our viewers,” she added.

About American Farmer:

American Farmer is a breakthrough program on a mission to showcase the latest advancements in agriculture and farming. From seed to harvest to food production, their producers have traveled the country covering the people, places and issues impacting all areas of farm country. American Farmer is produced and distributed by DMG Productions, an award-winning content provider of educational programming to the television industry.

For more information visit www.dmgproductions.org or call: (866) 496-4065.

DICKEY-john Corporation is a privately-held division of TSI. Since 1966, DICKEY-john, based in Auburn, IL, has designed, manufactured, marketed, and supported products used in the agricultural and public works industries. Key products include sensors, monitors, and control systems for farming tractors and implements, ice control systems for city/state snow and ice control vehicles, and analytical instrumentation for grain moisture and constituent testing for global customers.

Top Maryland SEO Company Launches Several New Services

Posted: 22 Mar 2011 03:28 AM PDT

Top Maryland SEO Company Launches Several New Services

Blue Corona, a top SEO company in Maryland, is expanding its services to include social media marketing and a turnkey online marketing solution specific to small and medium sized businesses. The introduction of these new services provides clients with access to more tools to increase their marketing ROI.

Gaithersburg, MD (PRWEB) March 22, 2011

Small to medium sized business owners often find themselves wearing many hats (frequently too many hats!). From hiring and recruiting to managing the company and day-to-day operations – days can be long and intense without much downtime. Marketing and advertising campaigns, while incredibly important for business growth, tend to fall to the bottom of the daily priority list and setting up online marketing campaigns requires specialized skills and tools unfamiliar to many business owners.

At the same time, few small businesses have the resources required to hire a full time employee to handle their website and online marketing – an investment that can easily cost $10,000 per month.

Blue Corona, a top SEO company in Maryland, has created two new services specifically designed for small and medium sized businesses.

The first is a "Virtual Online Marketing Manager" service designed to provide an all-inclusive solution and give small and medium sized businesses an online marketing professional at a fraction of the cost of a full time employee! Packages start at just $1,500 per month and include tracking, SEO and pay per click advertising.

Marketing measurement and website tracking is at the core of every plan to allow business owners to see exactly which of their marketing strategies are yielding the highest returns.

The second service is designed to help small business owners take advantage of the evolving social media landscape. Blue Corona has hired a leading social media expert to help small businesses better utilize websites like Facebook and Twitter. Every business can benefit from having a social media presence for marketing and for customer service., but few small business owners know where to begin.

Businesses that naturally have communities of loyal customers around them are particularly well-suited to greatly benefit from social media.

Blue Corona will be introducing a suite of tools for clients to effectively monitor their brand online, engage with their fans and followers and discover new prospective customers. Run promotions and giveaways through your Facebook page to encourage new fans and customers to promote your business in a fun and effective way!

Blue Corona is investing in helping clients create measurable marketing results and the introduction of these two new services takes that mission to a whole new level. The new turnkey online marketing services along with the introduction of social media marketing provides our clients with even more tools to effectively market their company online.

For more information about either service, visit http://www.bluecorona.com or call 301-591-9397.

Box UK’s User Interface Design Tool Receives Widespread Acclaim From Global UX Community

Box UK's User Interface Design Tool Receives Widespread Acclaim From Global UX Community

Box UK's UI Sketcher App Provides On-The-Go Solution for Fans of Sketchboard Technique and Attracts Glowing Reviews from UX Community.

London, UK (PRWEB) March 22, 2011

Box UK's in-house developed app UI Sketcher (http://www.uisketcher.com) has attracted international attention since its launch in December 2010 with User Experience professionals praising its simplicity of design and ease of use. Taking advantage of the unique capabilities of the iPad platform, and integrating email, Dropbox and external display functionality, the app allows designs to be generated quickly and shared easily.

The tool was inspired by Adaptive Path's "Good Design Faster" methodology and the sketchboard technique, a highly effective way of generating user interface ideas although not so suitable for sketching on the move. UI Sketcher makes best use of current technology to replicate the sketching environment, mirroring the physical pen and paper toolkit as closely as possible and allowing designers to produce better designs more quickly, regardless of location or resource.

Box UK's UI Sketcher fills a gap in the market. Where other apps offer too much detail and choice for what is intended to be a quick, low-fidelity exercise, or are too rudimentary to produce effective designs UI Sketcher is purely designed for sketching User Interfaces, and offers the ideal tools for the task.

The praise for the product has been far-reaching. Michael Angeles in the US (@konigi), a leading figure in the UX arena reported that 'UI Sketcher for the iPad is the sketch app UX designers have been waiting for' and German app review site AppForThat (@appforthat) concluded that 'If you are a designer and are looking for a digital sketching solution, you should have a look at UI Sketcher'. One reviewer even went as far as to say that the app might just be reason enough to buy an iPad!

James Downes, Box UK's Head of User Experience said: "UI Sketcher was developed with one goal; to help User Interface designers produce better, faster designs. We're thrilled with the response we've received so far, and sales of the app have surpassed our highest expectations. It's great that so many industry professionals have given such positive feedback."

Web Technology Reveals Diabetes Patient Influence on Weight Loss Surgery Options

Posted: 22 Mar 2011 02:40 AM PDT

Web Technology Reveals Diabetes Patient Influence on Weight Loss Surgery Options

Groundbreaking web technology reveals impact of patients with diabetes on mainstream acceptance of weight loss surgery options – particularly bariatric surgery.

Wayne, PA (PRWEB) March 22, 2011

Wool.labs (TM), a business intelligence company driven by social cognition technology, has published the next study in its series, "The Impact of Weight Loss Surgery On Patients With Diabetes," revealing a highly engaged group of people with diabetes who were actively discussing weight loss surgery procedures and experiences online over the last nine years.

The "Patient Social Intelligence Report" leveraged Wool.labs' unique WebDig (TM) technology to track every conversation accessible on the internet and determined the trends among diabetes patients and healthcare providers as related to options to help manage diabetes – including bariatric surgery. Conversation data mined from social media spanned nine years and showed that diabetes patients who had tried bariatric surgery were big advocates for the procedure and saw a positive impact on their Type II diabetes.

"We believe that the patient wave of support in social media has helped push diabetes surgery into mainstream acceptance faster," says Michele Bennett, Chief Operating Officer of Wool.labs. "These surgeries are drastic procedures of which patients did not need to be convinced – they were already convinced."

In 2007, the trends extended into mainstream media and continued momentum in 2008 with significant publications in medical journals like JAMA.

Current trends show that patient conversation was ultimately a key contributor to physician acceptance of weight loss surgery as a tool to control diabetes.

"In this instance, we believe patients are leading the way and it will be interesting to see how far physicians and the industry will take it from here," says Scott Reese, Chief Executive Officer of Wool.labs. "Social media provides a unique window into patient and physician experiences. We can also see how those perceptions impact the patients' relationship with the healthcare community."

The 75-page report "The Impact of Weight Loss Surgery On Patients With Diabetes" contains the most representative conversations about the subject area and our analysis of how sentiment has changed over time.

To purchase the full report, please visit, http://www.woollabs.com/reportSubscriptions/.

The Patient Social Intelligence Report is a series of retrospective and predictive analyses created by Wool.labs that digs into the hottest topics in the Healthcare and Pharmaceutical industries across a variety of diseases and conditions to understand the sentiment, behavior and beliefs of patients and the impact on business of healthcare.

Wool.labs is a new breed of business intelligence software provider. Our proprietary technology solutions help enterprise clients understand and solve complex business challenges through Social Cognition. We dig deep into dialogue data to uncover core insights and emerging trends to inform strategy, change behavior and drive new business opportunities in a way that is unmatched in the industry.

Awesome Media Announces Representation Deal with Circle of Confusion

Awesome Media Announces Representation Deal with Circle of Confusion

New Relationship Builds Capacity for Page-to-Screen Adaptations

(PRWEB UK) 22 March 2011

London, UK: Awesome Media & Entertainment Ltd. (Awesome), the boutique, creative incubator behind the upcoming book series "INTERFACE" announces representation by Circle of Confusion, the New York and Los Angeles based management and production company, for film and television adaptations of its publishing based properties.

This strategic relationship strengthens Awesome's ability to translate its publishing based portfolio to film and television while broadening its global reach.

Awesome will be represented by manager Rick Jacobs who also represents graphic novel powerhouse IDW and will work closely with Awesome's founder, Jeff Norton, to develop a long-term strategy to bring the books to screen.

This announcement comes on the eve of the annual Bologna Book Fair where Awesome will showcase to publishers three exciting new projects: "ALIENATED," a high-school set sci-fi comedy by Matt Knight, "DRUMMER GIRL," a glamorous yet gritty YA novel by Circle of Confusion client Bridget Tyler, and "THE CALLING," a claustrophobic YA thriller by Thea Bennett.

Jeff Norton, founder, said: "This is an exciting time to partner with Circle of Confusion as we are less than one year away from the publication of "INTERFACE" and we have a full but focused creative portfolio of amazing stories that are perfectly pitched to make the leap from book to screen."

Rick Jacobs said: "Jeff creates unique, plot-driven stories with compelling characters and distinct immersive worlds. We're thrilled to help shepherd these Awesome projects to the entertainment community."

About Awesome

Awesome Media & Entertainment Ltd. is a London based creative venture that originates and develops original fiction for all ages. Awesome brings a focused and "boutique" approach to a collaborative creative process often called "book packaging" and partners with talented authors to bring incredible stories to life. Awesome was founded in August, 2010 by former Chorion Ltd. Senior Vice President Jeff Norton and its first project, "INTERFACE" by Ryan Hunter, was sold to Orchard Books (a division of Hachette) for World English Language rights in a four-book deal and debuts in February, 2012. Awesome is represented for publishing by agent Nancy Miles at the Miles Stott Children's Literary Agency. Norton is represented by agent Annette van Duren. http://www.jeffnorton.com

About Circle of Confusion

Circle of Confusion, a feature film & television production and management company, was founded in 1990. Initially a New York-based literary management company, Circle expanded into production in 2002 while simultaneously opening a West Coast office in Los Angeles.

The Management division of Circle represents screenwriters and directors as well as content creators and comic book libraries. Clients include the Wachowski Brothers (writers/directors of The Matrix Trilogy); directors John and Drew Dowdle (Devil, Quarantine) and Jon Poll (Charlie Bartlett); screenwriters Dan Mazeau (Clash of the Titans 2, The Flash), Gary Whitta (The Book of Eli), Jon Spaihts (Darkest Hour, Alien Prequel), 2009 Blacklist winner Christopher Weekes (The Muppet Man), and 2010 Blacklist winner Wes Jones (College Republicans); television writers Tim Schlattmann (Dexter), Todd Harthan (Psych), and Doug Jung (Dark Blue); comic book creators/screenwriters Brian Michael Bendis (Powers, Jinx) and Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead, Invincible); many journalists with articles appearing in periodicals such as Wired, GQ, Esquire, The New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, and Men's Journal; and libraries which include books from IDW Publishing, Skybound, Seven Seas, and Shadowline Comics.

The Production division is currently prepping season two of the record-breaking hit AMC series The Walking Dead, based on Robert Kirkman's hugely successful Image Comics series, starring Andrew Lincoln, Jon Bernthal, and Sarah Wayne Callies. Circle is also prepping the recently green-lit Powers for FX Network with Michael Dinner and Charles Eglee. Previously, Circle has produced the pilots Them for Fox and Ultra for CBS.

On the feature side, Circle of Confusion has successfully set up more than thirty feature projects on studio development slates. These include projects such as: Inherit the Earth at Sony (with Michael Bay); Existence 2.0 at Paramount (with Al Gough & Miles Millar adapting); Fire at Universal (with Zac Effron attached to star); Antwerp at Paramount (with J.J. Abrams); and Straight Outta Compton at New Line (with Ice Cube & Dr. Dre).

Circle of Confusion is currently in prep on the 3-D horror film Hellbenders, written and to be directed by J.T. Petty. Circle also produced the recent Magnolia Films release Vanishing on 7th Street directed by Brad Anderson and starring Hayden Christensen, John Leguizamo and Thandie Newton as well as the indie release St. John of Las Vegas written and directed by Hue Rhodes and starring Steve Buscemi, Sarah Silverman, Tim Blake Nelson, and John Cho.

Circle of Confusion established its identity developing elevated "genre" material, but has since expanded the client base to include writers of all types including, but not limited to, comedy, drama, and animation. The company is built to self-generate (either through its own library or elsewhere) high concept ideas and then develop and package the material to ensure success at the studio level. Whether it is breaking new talent or developing projects, Circle works to bridge the gap between the fringes of pop culture and the Hollywood mainstream.

Miami Dentist Ted Herrmann Celebrates National Nutrition Month

Posted: 22 Mar 2011 01:01 AM PDT

Miami Dentist Ted Herrmann Celebrates National Nutrition Month

Miami dentist Ted Herrmann stands with the National Dietetic Association and encourages patients to form healthy eating habits for 2011.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) March 22, 2011

Miami dentist Ted Herrmann celebrates National Nutrition Month with Assure a Smile patients this March. The Miami dental practice encourages participants to form good nutrition habits that will last well beyond the month's end. According to Dr. Herrmann, the health benefits of eating well are reflected throughout the body, especially in the mouth. Assure a Smile patients who eat well are also less likely to develop cavities, gum disease, and have stronger long-term overall health.

National Nutrition Month is a nutrition education initiative celebrated annually by the American Dietetic Association. This year, the theme is Eat Right with Color. The theme reflects the importance of eating well-balanced meals consisting of vegetables, fruits, and lean meats. The color aspect of the theme is a focal point for Dr. Herrmann and the professionals at Assure a Smile Miami Dentistry. "Fruits and vegetables differ in color because they have varying amounts of vitamins and minerals, among other elements," reports Dr. Herrmann. "We love the National Dietetic Association's color theme because it reflects the importance of eating a variety of foods. When patients focus on eating a variety of different colored foods, they also ensure that they receive a range of all natural vitamins and minerals."

Patients who take multivitamins and other health supplements are not exempt from National Nutrition Month, warns Dr. Herrmann. Consuming a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish, and lean meats is the best way to ensure you receive the nutrients that are essential for daily function and long-term health. Dr. Herrmann cites an alarming study shared by Surgeon James Barber, M.D., that states ¼ of Americans do not receive 60 milligrams of vitamin C each day—the absolute bare minimum required for body cells to perform basic biological functions. Even worse, only 9 percent of Americans report eating 5 daily servings of fruits and vegetables as urged by the American Cancer Society. "These numbers reflect a nutritional deficiency among Americans," Dr. Herrmann states. "If nutrient levels among Americans are generally low while vitamin and other health supplement sales are extremely high, it is logical to deduce that supplements simply are not enough. You have to eat 5 to 6 servings of natural fruits and vegetables to acquire the nutrients your body needs to function properly." The benefits of eating well extend beyond simply giving cells the fuel to function, however. Eating a colorful plate of fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins is an effective way to ensure your body receives a host of essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that preserve long-term health and vitality.

As a holistic dentistry practice, Assure a Smile puts overall wellness education at the forefront of patient interaction. Holistic dentistry takes a proactive approach when treating patients, always searching for the underlying causal factors for certain conditions. Often times, dental conditions are the result of poor nutrition. Patients who consume large amounts of refined sugars and candies instead of naturally sweet fruits, for example, create a highly acidic environment in their mouths. Such an environment promotes high rates of both plaque accumulation and tooth decay. In this way, spreading nutritional awareness during National Nutrition Month serves to reduce the occurrence of tooth decay and gum disease among Americans. By educating patients on the numerous downfalls of poor nutrition, Assure a Smile is able to help Miami residents make informed food choices that help teeth and gums stay healthy for life.

The professionals at Assure a Smile pay close attention to signs of poor nutrition, teeth grinding, TMJ, and other conditions that may significantly contribute to tooth and gum decay. The practice is located in South Miami, adjacent to Baptist Hospital, and invites new patients to schedule a dental appointment online or over the phone. New patients may take advantage of the New Patient Holistic Cleaning and Consultation Special, receiving a thorough teeth cleaning, TMJ scan, full dental x-rays, digital imaging, and holistic wellness consultation.
