AB-Zorb.400, LLC Announces the Release of Diamond AB-Zorb.400 a Super-Absorbent Baseball and Softball Field Drying Agent

Posted: 16 Apr 2011 04:26 AM PDT

Portland, OR, April 16, 2011 –(PR.com)– Oregon based AB-Zorb.400, LLC announces the release of Diamond AB-Zorb.400, a break through in sports field maintenance. Diamond AB-Zorb.400 is a super baseball field-drying agent. This innovative product retains up to an amazing 400 times its weight in water and is far more cost effective than other field drying products.

Comparing Diamond AB-Zorb.400 to other field drying products currently available, field management staffs, coaches and Boards of Directors will find that Diamond AB-Zorb.400 is very cost effective. It also will last for up to 5-10 wet dry cycles on a ball field. Diamond AB-Zorb.400′s use currently is simply as needed prior to game on all key areas of the field, such as the pitching mound, home base/catchers area, on deck circles and base paths.

Some of the other benefits include:
• All natural ingredients
• Non-toxic and nonhazardous
• Biodegradable
• Easy to apply
• Enhances all other field surface products being used.
• Optimizes playing conditions
• Promotes safer play
• Helps maintain dry field conditions
• Easy to store carry it in your equipment bag
• Help limit the amount of rainouts and rain delays
• Reduces watering cost and time
• More cost effective

Steve Sherman, CEO of AB-Zorb.400, LLC adds; “We are excited to introduce this baseball and softball field conditioner to leagues all across the country. The technology behind this product makes it a superior field-drying agent. Within just a few minutes of any rain delay, a field can go from rain out to play ball conditions and save a game or tournament from delays or postponement. Just think of all the scheduling conflicts that can be avoided with this product.”

The patented technology behind the product uses natural cornstarch as the main component in producing a super-absorbent polymer granule. Diamond AB-Zorb.400 is one of the most highly active super-absorbents available. It is capable of absorbing an amazing 400 times its weight in water. That means 1 lb of Diamond AB-Zorb.400 can absorb up to 40 gallons of water.

The technology behind Diamond AB-Zorb.400 is widely used globally as a soil additive to enhance water use efficiency in food production agricultural crops.

Several of the US’s largest grass seed companies use the technology as a coating on their grass seed to hold moisture close to the seed to enhance seed germination and seedling vigor. Many baseball fields and home lawns today use grass seed coated with the technology. Diamond AB-Zorb.400 is completely biodegradable over the time it is exposed to sunlight and soil microbial activity.

Mark Russell, AB-Zorb.400 VP of Sales and Product Development says: “Diamond AB-Zorb.400 will change field maintenance habits quickly. Once a field manager or coach has the opportunity to try Diamond AB-Zorb.400 they will see how far instant field drying technology has come in the last few years. Some of the old standard field drying products in baseball are based on old technology. Quicker drying times, less storage space required and a significant reduction in field drying costs make Diamond AB-Zorb.400 the easy choice. Baseball Tournament directors and coaches are instantly seeing the benefits of not having to postpone games and tournaments.”

Diamond AB-Zorb.400 is now available online at: www.abzorb400.com.

For more information, please contact Mark Russell at 855-862-2972. Or contact the company at: support@abzorb400.com, AB-Zorb.400 LLC, PO Box 55413, Portland OR, 97220

HomeSafe helps Senior Narrowly Escape Foreclosure

HomeSafe helps Senior Narrowly Escape Foreclosure

HomeSafe recommends readily-available, but often overlooked loan program, that saves a retired woman's home from foreclosure.

Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) April 16, 2011

Ms. Smith* was losing her home. After the El Nino weather patterns of the late 1990s and a lack of maintenance, her house was left uninhabitable and nearly became condemned. Her home insurance provider refused to pay for repairs to her home leaving her with few options to retain her Anaheim, Calif. home. Resigned to living in the only habitable part of her home, Ms. Smith did not have much choice on the fate of her home. Eventually, due to the state of her property, the city of Anaheim put Ms. Smith's home into receivership. She watched as the city tore down part of her home and even put her in jail for having illegal building permits. Ms. Smith was unable to afford the repairs to her property, therefore the city decided to take control of her property and make the repairs. During this time, the city put Ms. Smith up in an apartment while they made her house habitable again. After the repairs were completed, Ms. Smith returned home, though a lien was now placed on her home. However, living on a fixed income, and unable to make payments on the new lien, she watched her house head to foreclosure with no way to pay off the lien. One option she had heard about, but was skeptical of, was a Reverse Mortgage. Ms. Smith made a call to HomeSafe in January to learn more about a solution that could help save her home.

Tom Short, agent for HomeSafe, spoke to Ms. Smith that evening and assured her a Reverse Mortgage was a viable solution to her situation. "I explained that she had a lot of wealth stuck in her home, but just couldn't access it. The Reverse Mortgage would allow her to secure her home without monthly payments until she ceased to live there, while still retaining full ownership and the ability to pass the home to her heirs," Short said.

Not long after they first spoke on the phone, Short scheduled a meeting with Ms. Smith to discuss her possibilities further. "I realized that she needed some help in this difficult situation and that she needed it fast or she would lose her home. I was determined to make sure we could help her retain the ownership of her home," Short explains.

Over the next few months, Mr. Short attended six court hearings with Ms. Smith to prove to the court that a Reverse Mortgage could cure the default, prevent the foreclosure, and would be able to pay off the lien on her property. "The entire process was much longer than normal due to the complication of pending foreclosure, but I take pride in knowing that I was able to help her stay in her home and become comfortable in retirement." Short says.

Short was able to succeed in preventing the foreclosure and helped to restore safety and peace of mind to Ms. Smith. Now in a newly rebuilt and remodeled home with no monthly mortgage payment, Ms. Smith only needs to pay her property taxes and insurance. After all she has been through, and by coming so close to losing her home, the peace of mind she now has is priceless.

*Client's name has been changed for privacy reasons.

Crossmark Financial (DBA "HomeSafe") is a dedicated to assisting homeowners understand Reverse Mortgages and how to structure them in order to maximize their cash flow during their retirement years. The first step is always to simply learn about the program, which is made easy with their great guide and workbook and can be had for free through their website (http://www.hmsafe.com) or by phone request at (866) 897-0839.

Online jewellery manufacturing company rushes to defend Hallmarking as a legal requirement

Online jewellery manufacturing company rushes to defend Hallmarking as a legal requirement

Leading UK fine Diamond Designer and online retailer DiamondGeezer.com is one of the first U.K jewellery manufacturing companies to rush to defend Hallmarking as a legal requirement.

(PRWEB UK) 16 April 2011

Leading UK fine Diamond Designer and online retailer DiamondGeezer.com is one of the first U.K jewellery manufacturing companies to rush to defend Hallmarking as a legal requirement. This legal requirement is once again under scrutiny and threat in the UK Government's current drive to reduce regulation was launched on 7th April under the banner of 'The Red Tape challenge'.

Currently all items sold as gold, silver, platinum or palladium in the UK must be hallmarked, unless they are very lightweight, regardless of where they are made. Hallmarking is the independent, impartial testing of each and every piece of precious metal jewellery, which has to be carried out at one of the 4 assay offices in the U.K. DiamondGeezer.com believes it is imperative to the British consumer for the current and future UK Jewellery Industry to maintain hallmarking as a statutory independent service.

Hallmarking has survived for over 700 years because it genuinely protects the UK public from being cheated. The precious metals market is an asymmetric market where the industry knows a lot and the consumer very little, making them vulnerable to deception. Asymmetric markets must be regulated. 700 years of even handed consumer protection could be brought to an abrupt end, not because people don't want it, but by default, because it is seen as 'red tape'.

With 85% of jewellery sold in the UK now being imported from countries with no properly regulated hallmarking regime, and where counterfeiting is rife, UK consumers need a strong Hallmarking regime to protect them from dishonest activity more than ever .

DiamondGeezer.com urges everyone to visit http://www.redtapechallenge.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/hallmarking and express their views NOW.

Mazda Sales Jump Over 30% in March 2011

Mazda Sales Jump Over 30% in March 2011

Local Mazda Dealer Feeling Excitement Over Increased Sales

San Antonio, Texas (Vocus/PRWEB) April 16, 2011

Looking strictly at the numbers, Mazda had a really good month in March 2011 overall. When looking deeper, however, it is easy to actually feel the excitement. At Ingram Park Mazda – the leading San Antonio, Texas, area Mazda dealership – the sales professionals have seen first hand the renewed interest in Mazda vehicles.

And the renewed interest has translated into increased sales here in San Antonio and all over the nation. When asked, the sales team at Ingram Park Mazda said the increases in sales were due to a number of reasons.

From the quality of vehicles to the leadership at a national level, there are many reasons that Mazda is doing so well. Their vehicles are well known for being sporty yet fuel efficient, fun yet safe. Rising gas prices are just part of what is happening.

"As fuel prices continue to soar, consumers look to purchase fuel-efficient vehicles that don't compromise on design, features or performance," said Jim O'Sullivan, Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) president and CEO.

"Fortunately, Mazda is well poised to meet the needs of our consumers, thanks to our highly attractive vehicles that deliver exhilarating performance in a fuel-efficient manner, all at an affordable price."

The "attractive" vehicles are quite popular. From the Mazda3 to the other great models available, there are options for all types of drivers. This is another reason so many people are turning to Mazda.

The total number of sales in March for Mazda was 30,905, a 33.3% increase. When compared to some other car companies, it is one of the highest increases for the month.

The Mazda3 was the most popular model, but across the board, all the new Mazda 2011 models did very well in sales. From the Mazda2 to the Mazda5, Mazda had a stellar March 2011.

Stopping in at Ingram Park Mazda – the leading Mazda dealership in the San Antonio, Texas, area – it is possible to see the excitement over the new Mazda models up close. Those who want to see any of the new 2011 Mazda models up close or take them for a test drive should stop in today.

Easy Loans and Low Interest Rates Helping Recovery

Posted: 16 Apr 2011 01:06 AM PDT

Easy Loans and Low Interest Rates Helping Recovery

More Consumers Buying New, Helping Economic Recovery

Illinois (Vocus/PRWEB) April 16, 2011

Right Way Automobile Credit – the premiere auto loan company in Illinois – has seen the difference over the last few months as more and more people have been able to secure new car loans. There are a few reasons for the recent automotive industry recovery that is starting across the country.

With numbers rising all over with many car companies, many people have begun looking at the various reasons for the increases. While better cars and trucks (as well as better Super Bowl commercials) are part of the answer, they are not the only reason.

Once you begin to look at the numbers and statistics, you can see that more and more people are able to get better loans these days, which enables them to purchase a used or even a new car. And people are taking advantage of the situation with the banks trying to get more loans.

Across the country – even here in Illinois – many people are scrambling to their local car dealer to get the car of their dreams. With many car companies producing new and improved models for 2011, there's never been a better time to check out what's out there when it comes to cars and trucks.

In addition to the easier car loans being available, car companies are really going the extra mile to make their vehicles more attractive to consumers. From lower prices to better fuel economy to high-tech features, there are many ways car companies are striving to get Americans buying new cars again.

The numbers of Q1 2011 show that things are indeed getting better for many companies – foreign and domestic. While the increases in sales are due to many different reasons, one thing is for certain. It is a great time to purchase a new car. No matter the make or model (or even the year), now is a good time to upgrade your ride.

Right Way Automobile Credit – the premiere auto credit company in Illinois – has seen first hand the effects of the sales increases. They believe they are going to continue at least through the summer. As gas prices rise and hybrids and even electric cars become more popular, consumers have more choices than ever before.

When you add easier car loans – even for bad credit – then you have a really good recipe for recovery. While the next few months are critical, many people are working with companies like Right Way Automobile Credit to make their dreams of owning a new car or truck a reality – even if it includes a new minivan.

Ford Hybrids Rated Highest for Customer Payback, Value

Posted: 16 Apr 2011 01:06 AM PDT

Ford Hybrids Rated Highest for Customer Payback, Value

Ford hybrid vehicles rank at the top of the list for payback and fuel cost savings

Manitowoc, Wisconsin (Vocus/PRWEB) April 16, 2011

The professionals at Maritime Ford – the leading Manitowoc, WI, Ford dealer – are very happy to report that hybrid sales are hot. Now that they have been rated high for overall value, even more people are expected to look into alternative means of transportation.

While Ford has had problems in recent years, they are coming back strong in many ways. The fact that they have a strong hybrid program – that is giving value to customers – is sure to help them on the road to success in the years ahead.

"In less than 10 years, Ford has become a leader in hybrid technologies that are both advanced and innovative for the market," said Sheriff Marakby, Ford's director of Electrification Programs and Engineering.

"True to our electrification strategy, we continue to invest in hybrids and improve on technologies every year."

Here is a look at some of the innovations and technology that are helping Ford become a leader in hybrids.

●    The new Ford hybrid vehicles improve overall performance by modifying components to increase efficiency of electric components – sometimes to more than 90 percent!

●    In addition to that, an electric compressor is used for climate control systems. This optimizes energy use dramatically.

●    Ford Fusion Hybrid has a boost converter on the battery that instantaneously provides power when needed but doesn't carry this power in the battery at all times. This dramatically improves overall fuel efficiency.

These are just some of the reasons that Ford is becoming so well known for having dependable and fuel efficient hybrid vehicles. With so many models available for 2011 and many more in the works, it is easy to see why Ford has been rated so high for customer payback.

The concentration on hybrid technology also shows Ford's overall strategy for the future – a very good thing for a company that has been around such a long time.

The staff at Maritime Ford – the premiere Ford dealer in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, and the surrounding area – are pleased to be able to offer a wide selection of Ford cars, trucks and other vehicles. Ford has quite a few models that are becoming more popular all the time. Adding the hybrid option to many of them has people quite excited.

Mitsubishi Motors Starts Taking Orders for Commercial Mini EV

Posted: 16 Apr 2011 01:05 AM PDT

Mitsubishi Motors Starts Taking Orders for Commercial Mini EV

The MINICAB-MiEV is highly anticipated

San Antonio, Texas (Vocus/PRWEB) April 16, 2011

If you ask the dealers at Mission Mitsubishi what they think about the cars they sell, they are going to tell you one thing – they love them. And when it comes to the new electric vehicles like the MINICAB-MiEV, they're really excited.

While the vehicle is only for sale in Japan at this time, the vehicle is a step forward for the Mitsubishi company and shows their dedication to the environment.

The design for the MINICAB-MiEV comes from the MINICAB VAN commercial mini vehicle. The new EV follows the i-MiEV as the company's second new-generation electric vehicle. Additionally, the MINICAB-MiEV is being developed to make the most out of new technology and know-how that has been gained from the development of i-MiEV.

Reliability, durability and cost performance were also areas in which Mitsubishi has concentrated for this Commercial Mini EV. It has been tested since October of 2010, with a fleet being tested by Yamato Transport Co., Ltd.

While commercial electronic vehicles like this one are not as abundant in the United States as of yet, this is quickly changing. One thing is for certain is that Mission Mitsubishi of San Antonio, Texas is going to be one of the leading supporters of these new "green" technologies.

Mitsubishi has a good track record for producing quality, sporty cars and trucks, as well as commercial vehicles. These days, they are truly raising the bar when it comes to zero-emissions and electric vehicles – especially for the Commercial Van market.

While other car companies are also rolling out Commercial EVs around the world, Mitsubishi is sticking to the philosophy that slow and steady wins the race. While vehicles like the MINICAB-MiEV may only be available for sale in Japan, this may change in the months and years ahead.

While the future of the automobile industry is still up in the air, changes taking place today are really helping companies like Mitsubishi take technology even further than ever before. When it comes to zero emission vehicles, they are set to be a leader in the years to come.

Anyone living in the greater San Antonio area that is interested in electric vehicles, hybrids, or cars or trucks with a good old fashioned gasoline engine should stop in at Mission Mitsubishi, the premiere Mitsubishi dealership in the region. Their friendly and knowledgeable sales staff can answer any questions about any of the great models in the Mitsubishi lineup. Test drive? That's certainly possible as well.

Buyers Of Charleston, SC, Real Estate Benefit From The Unique Perspective Of A Licensed Appraiser At Charleston Preferred Properties

Charleston Preferred Properties, a buyers' agency that specializes in residential real estate throughout the Charleston region, has hired a licensed real estate appraiser to assist buyers looking to purchase residential property. New Buyer Representative Bart Jackson – a seasoned appraiser and 20-year veteran of the Charleston, SC, real estate market – brings a unique perspective to buyers and those looking to relocate to Charleston.

Charleston, S.C. (Vocus/PRWEB) April 16, 2011

Charleston Preferred Properties, a Charleston buyers' agency that specializes in residential real estate throughout the region, has hired Bart Jackson, president and owner of Charleston Residential Appraisals, as a Buyer Representative. A 20-year veteran of the Charleston, SC, real estate market, Jackson brings the unique perspective of a licensed appraiser to buyers looking for assistance relocating to Charleston and navigating the local market.

"Performing hundreds of appraisals annually, Bart has developed an intimate knowledge of Charleston's residential markets," said Matt Sloan, Broker in Charge at Charleston Preferred Properties. "He is uniquely qualified to help buyers find the right property in the right neighborhood at the right price."

Originally from Virginia, Jackson is a licensed real estate appraiser who opened his own firm in 2000. He later obtained his real estate license in order to help buyers – particularly those relocating to Charleston – benefit from his knowledge of the market. Jackson is a graduate of the College of Charleston.

Bluegreen Corporation to Donate Proceeds from March Fundraising Events to American Red Cross Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Effort

Bluegreen Corporation to Donate Proceeds from March Fundraising Events to American Red Cross Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Effort

Bluegreen fundraisers held through the month of March will be directed towards the American Red Cross Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami effort.

Boca Raton, FL (Vocus/PRWEB) April 16, 2011

Bluegreen Corporation (NYSE: BXG), a leading provider of Colorful Places to Live and Play, today announced its corporate fundraising efforts for the month of March will be directed towards the Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami division of the American Red Cross. As Bluegreen originally intended to donate proceeds from fundraising efforts through the month of March to the American Red Cross in acknowledgement of Red Cross Month, the company decided to designate all contributions to the Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami effort. Furthermore, the Bluegreen Charitable Giving Committee announced its plans to match any associate or internal fundraising effort through March 31, 2011, up to $2,500.

The American Red Cross is the nation's premier emergency response organization. The American Red Cross offers neutral humanitarian aid to victims of war and natural disasters. In addition to disaster relief, the American Red Cross offers aid to the following: Community services that help the needy; support and comfort military members and their families; collect, process and distribute lifesaving blood and blood products; offer educational programs on health and safety; and provide international relief and development programs.

Bluegreen has been a longtime supporter of disaster relief for the American Red Cross. Bluegreen Corporation associates at the corporate headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida, held a bake sale and mini-auction on Thursday, March 17, 2011 to benefit the American Red Cross. The drive raised $696.65, a sum that will be matched by Bluegreen's Charitable Giving Committee and donated to the American Red Cross Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami.

"At Bluegreen, our associates are passionate about our philanthropic and volunteer commitments. We have been a supporter of the American Red Cross and its disaster relief services for many years and have been inducted into the Henry Dunant Society of the American Red Cross for our long-term philanthropic giving," states Stephen Wilke, Director of Human Resources Development and Corporate Communications. "Our care and concern for our customers and one another naturally extend to those in our communities. We extend our deepest sympathies to the loss experienced by the survivors of these tragic events."

DOMA’s VBA Pilot Project Discussed on NPR

Posted: 16 Apr 2011 01:04 AM PDT

DOMA's VBA Pilot Project Discussed on NPR

DOMA and the VA have partnered on a pilot project to reduce the time for disability claim adjudication. This pilot project was recently highlighted as part of NPR story on claims backlog.

Virginia Beach, Virginia (PRWEB) April 16, 2011

In a story aired by National Public Radio (NPR) on April 8th the Department of Veterans Affairs projects to speed up the process for adjudicating the disability claims for veterans were highlighted. This includes the DOMA-VBA Pilot Project currently underway.

A transcript of the story can be found here (http://www.npr.org/2011/04/08/135218770/va-officials-try-to-ease-disability-exam-backlog)

"This story brings much needed attention to the challenges faced by disabled veterans in getting their claims for disability allowances adjudicated. DOMA is proud to be working with the VBA on the pilot project to speed up the time taken for a veteran to receive adjudication of his or her claim," comments Wayne DeAtley, DOMA Senior Vice President.

DOMA's pilot project, awarded in October, 2010 is focused on retrieving health records for veterans from third party healthcare providers. Prior to the pilot launch this would take in excess of 40 days on average for the VBA to retrieve the records and create the complete health record required for adjudication. The pilot project plans t0 reduce this time to 7 to 10 days. Once the complete records are assembled they are made available to the VBA through DOMA's digital document management software.

"Success of the DOMA – VBA Pilot project will be an important proof of concept moving towards faster adjudication of disability claims. We believe this pilot is an important piece of the overall VA strategy to support veterans and are excited to be working on such a meaningful project," continues DeAtley.

Sierra BG®3 Partial Flow Dilution Sampler Now Legal Alternative for US EPA Part 1065

Posted: 16 Apr 2011 01:04 AM PDT

Sierra BG®3 Partial Flow Dilution Sampler Now Legal Alternative for US EPA Part 1065

The US EPA has ruled that Partial Flow Dilution (PFD) technology, as demonstrated in conclusive testing with Sierra Instrument's BG®3, is now legally recognized as an alternative to traditional Constant Volume Sampling (CVS). The new ruling in favor of light and heavy duty engine particulate emissions certification over transient test cycles can be found in 40 CFR part 1065 of the United States Federal Register.

Monterey, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) April 16, 2011

A 5-year cooperative effort between Sierra and the US EPA resulted in a BG3 vs CVS multiple engine, two-lab correlation study (this required the measurement of PM over a two-decade range in concentration levels). The study was performed to prove that Sierra's BG3 complies as a suitable, fully compliant alternative method to CVS for certification of engines tested on 2007 and Tier IV transient test cycles.

"It's been a long time coming, but we've made history," says Matthew J. Olin, President of Sierra Instruments. "We're delighted to be able to provide an alternative to expensive and cumbersome full-flow CVS systems and open the door to cost-effective light and heavy duty engine particulate emissions testing." BG3 technology is the recognized PFD standard in the industry. BG3 is the most widely used PFD technology of its type and boasts the world's largest installed base."

Efficiency and productivity benefits of BG3 include:

Can be used on engines of any size and on any fuel in both engine and chassis test cells
Approximately 1/10th of CVS system cost of ownership
Approximately 1/100th to 1/1000th the annual energy usage versus a CVS, depending on CVS size and design
Satisfies all requirements of 40 CFR 1065; ISO 8178; ISO 16183; CFR Part 89; UN ECE regulation No. 49; Global Technical Regulation No. 4
Add and control other emissions measurement devices easily such as particle counters, soot mass measurement…etc.
Portable from cell to cell to maximize flexibility and return on investment
Patented partial flow dilution tunnel has ultra-low particulate loss and requires no cleaning with proper operation
Integrity of internal flow systems and proprietary daily mirror calibration method yields excellent accuracy and repeatability of PM results over wide range of dilution ratios
Ability to accurately measure PM either pre and post catalyst and/or DPF for research or DF testing

About Sierra

Sierra Instruments has been a global leader in flow measurement and control for over 35 years and is well known for its high performance flow instrumentation for gas, liquid and steam applications commonly found in the semiconductor, environmental, scientific research, petrochemical, energy, aerospace, and general manufacturing industries. Founded in 1992, Sierra's Engine Emissions Measurement Division (http://www.sierraemissions.com) manufactures high performance particulate matter sampling systems (Model BG3), engine intake air mass flow meters, soot measurement instrumentation and a wide range of engine emissions sampling accessories used in the engine and vehicle emissions testing industry. With over 150 offices in 50 countries, Sierra is uniquely positioned to provide their innovative products and lifetime support for the leading companies of today and growth enterprises of tomorrow.

History:

In 1990, Sierra received the exclusive worldwide license for Caterpillar's patented micro-dilution technology, today known as Partial Flow Dilution (PFD) technology.
Sierra's knowledge of mass flow measurement and control, a key to partial flow dilution sampling, and Caterpillar's vast engine development and emissions testing knowledge formed a formidable technology partnership.
For well over a decade, this technology partnership has yielded a line of world-class partial flow sampling systems: The BG®1, BG®2, and now the very versatile BG®3 provides accurate, repeatable Engine Particulate Matter (PM) emissions measurements for transient and steady-state test cycles for engine and vehicle testing.

Fed up and angry homeowners seek damages for the alleged fraudulent practices of Wells Fargo/Wachovia (WELLS).

Calabasas, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) April 16, 2011

Philip Kramer has filed a mass joinder lawsuit against Wells Fargo/Wachovia (WELLS) (Nelson v. Wells Fargo, Superior Court of California, Superior Court of Los Angeles, case number: BC 452 264) in what is potentially the most significant and precedent-setting legal action taken against lenders as a result of the national foreclosure crisis, it was announced today by Philip Kramer, Esq. of Kramer & Kaslow.

The firm has filed suit on behalf of a mass joinder of plaintiffs seeking damages and injunctive relief as a result of what it calls the bank's fraud and multiple violations of Local, State, and Federal consumer protection laws. Relief is being sought for fraud, to stop the illegal sale of plaintiffs' homes, to force the bank to cease and desist from their conduct, as well as to seek compensatory damages on behalf of the plaintiffs.

Mr. Kramer says that the lawsuit alleges WELLS FARGO perpetrated a massive fraud, also constituting unfair competition upon borrowers that devastated the values of their residences, resulting in the loss of net worth even as Wells Fargo enriched itself by knowingly selling financial instruments based on a value the bank knew to be unwarranted. Mr. Kramer also claims that Wells Fargo further intended to deprive numerous rights and remedies for the problems they caused the borrowers and believes that the harm done to the plaintiffs is exceeded only by the scale of the bank's conduct as asserted in the plaintiffs' suit.

According to court documents, the lawsuit claims the Bank disregarded underwriting standards and implemented a massive fraud that was concealed from borrowers and other mortgagees on an unprecedented scale. The lawsuit alleges that, as a result of the Bank's actions, borrowers lost equity in their homes, their credit ratings and histories were destroyed and they incurred unnecessary costs and expenses.

Mr. Kramer says that the lawsuit challenges the fraudulent and illegal use of MERS in connection with the loans and mortgages, as well as the defendants' failure to perform their obligations pursuant to accepting TARP funds.

The lawsuit's filing coincides with a recent decision in a class action suit in Maryland that invalidated more than 10,000 foreclosure cases managed by Wells Fargo Mortgage because affidavits in the cases were signed by a Wells Fargo "robo-signer" who, according to court documents, attested to the authenticity of foreclosure documents without any knowledge about them, as well as signing other false statements in the case Manson v. Wells Fargo Mortgage LLC, 08-cv-12166, U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts (Boston).

Philip Kramer of Kramer & Kaslow has also filed suits against Bank of America/Countrywide, JP MORGAN Chase/Washington Mutual, GMAC, One West/Indymac, and Citibank which have all allegedly defrauded hundreds of thousands of homeowners. These cases are now going national. Philip Kramer and Kramer & Kaslow attorneys have invoked laws and procedures the banks were previously unaware of.

"I am convinced that for the first time that aggrieved homeowners are going to get a fighting chance," says attorney Philip Kramer. "Until now, the banks have had their way, using and abusing the system at the expense of distressed homeowners across the nation. Now, after years of abusing homeowners and the greater public, the 'bank bullies' are getting a good stiff legal punch in the nose."

Bounce Houses, Inflatable Slides, Bouncer Slide Combos, Inflatable Obstacles

Tips for choosing the right category of an Inflatable Play Structure for an existing or a newly established party rental business from http://www.BouncerDepot.com.

(Vocus/PRWEB) April 16, 2011

Starting from simple inflatable jumpers and famous bounce house castles Bouncer Depot, a manufacturer and wholesaler of inflatable bounce houses based in the USA is now producing large variety of interactive inflatable games such as the simple moonwalk, action packed bouncer slide combos, thrill-ride wet & dry inflatable slides as well as jaw dropping, high octane obstacle courses and other interactive inflatable games. The high volume of demand from different generations has challenged and motivated the engineers and designers to stretch to the farthest reach of their imaginations to construct more innovative inflatable games.

More variety means more questions which makes it harder to make a final decision for a consumer. Bouncer Depot wants to outline pros and cons for each category of inflatable structures which will make the process of choosing a right category easier.

Bounce Houses.

Inflatable bounce houses are made in many different designs, shapes and sizes. According to Bouncer Depot an average inflatable structure has approximately of six to eight years of life; however, well-maintained units can last longer. Inflatable bouncers can be used indoors or outdoors. They can be rented commercially or be purchased for personal usage. In a regular bounce house usually five to eight children can be allowed to play at the same time. However, depending on the size of the inflatable moonwalk this amount can greatly increase.

Pros:

Regular 13×13 bounce house is one of the most popular and demanded category in the industry. It is easy to maneuver, set up and clean. It is the least expensive category. This category can be rented on average for about 6-9 months in a year. It can pay for itself within 1.5 to 2 months by renting it just 2 times per week.

Cons:

The cost to rent a bounce house for 8 hours varies from $80-$160 depending on area. This means lower profit for rental businesses in comparison to other categories of inflatables.

Inflatable Slides.

Inflatable slides are one of the most popular and considerably new items in the party supply or rental businesses. Slides are the best movable or rentable amusement rides that can be transported and set up anywhere on a playground, backyard or a park. They are known to bring fun and joy to all ages. Some of the summer's best playful amusements are the different varieties of water themed inflatables. A good quality water slide's stitches are covered with special, hot sealed, seam sealing tape, which eliminates the contact of the thread with water. An additional extra strength coated vinyl strip hot sealed at the edges of vinyl can be found inside of the stitching. This technique provides an extra power and durability to the connection points.

Pros:

Slides and especially water slides are the most demanded items during hot summers. It is fun not only for kids but for adults as well. For one who comes from a large family, wet/dry slides and other inflatables are especially appealing. As opposed to spending about a hundred per head including admission, food, drinks, and souvenirs at an amusement park, one can fire up a grill and bring the amusement park to their own backyard by renting an inflatable slide. Water slides have the highest profit margin. The average cost to rent a water slide for 8 hours varies from $200-$600 (and up). It will get paid off within 1-1.5 month.

Cons:

The cost season for water slide lasts approx 2-5 month. They are larger and sometimes more difficult to set up and they take more time to clean and maintain.

Bouncer Slide Combos.

Inflatable bouncer slide combo units are two piece combinations of a moonwalk and a slide. General bouncers are specifically designed for jumping fun, whereas the combo units include an attached slide. Combos are very popular items amongst the inflatable moonbouncers. Some of the combo units have the advantage of using them together or separate. Detaching the slide from the bouncer gives the opportunity to rent one unit at a time. They can also be made to use as wet and dry.

Pros:

Combo units give more options to party rentals. It combines two popular categories in to one. A single unit allows participants not only to jump but to slide as well. Party rentals can get even more benefits by having wet and dry combos. Renting the same unit as water combo increases the rental cost in average by 50%. With this option one can rent it as a water unit during a hot summer (2-5 months with high rates) and as dry unit during the remaining portion of the year. This category can be rented in average 9-12 months out of the year.

Cons:

A combination of two units in to one comes with its price and In an effort to keep the size and the weight of the combo reasonable, manufacturers often make bouncing area or slide smaller which can sometimes affect the functionality of the slide. A slide is always fun when it is high and fast.

Inflatable Obstacles.

Inflatable obstacle courses allow for participants to have races and compete against one another. Besides the great concept of having all in one such as bouncer, slide and inflatable obstacle challenging games in one unit, obstacle courses also have beautiful designs. Using different hues of vinyl, obstacle courses are made in square, round or maze looking shapes. Obstacle courses can be as gigantic as approximately eighty feet long and twenty feet wide and can also have an eighteen to twenty feet high slide. Such gigantic inflatable units are usually permanently set up indoors at a Family Entertainment Center.

Pros:

This category is a must have for long established rental businesses. It makes established businesses stand apart from new starters. Huge obstacle courses are usually rented during festivals, school events and other events where the number of participants is significantly higher. More participants and larger crowd means more visibility and more business for rental companies. Most obstacle courses come with two pieces: Slide and the obstacle. These units can be rented separately and having a detachable pool for the slide gives you the third option to use the slide as a water unit.

Cons:

Higher cost, they are heavier units to move and set up and they require more space to set up. There are also limited events where can be rented.

The inflatable industry has grown over the past few decades and turned into one of the most recognized, entertaining fields throughout the world. Having an inflatable at a party has now become the standard. Needless to say, the renting of these jumping castles, combos, slides, and obstacles has become quite a lucrative business for those who have invested in these giant inflatable fun structures. But that's not the only good news. There is another upside to this industry as well and that is putting a smile on children's faces.
