(PR Buzz) January 4, 2013 -- The continuing trend towards green & sustainable tourism means a chance for many business owners. The unexpected profits of this increasingly important sector of the British tourism industry can especially be seen in the case of ballooning flight agents. 2012 has been a very good year for them as customer demand almost doubled according to market leaders, such as South Downs Ballooning.

Also 2013 holds a promising start for the ballooning industry as Christmas is rapidly disappearing into the distant past and Valentine's Day will soon be upon. More and more people in Britain want to spoil their special someone this Valentine's Day with an original gift.

The romantic hot air balloon rides are acknowledged as idyllic lovers' escapades. The sensation of isolation and excitement produces the perfect ambience for a couple in love. Many people also love combining the ballooning experience with a sparkling wine toast up in the air, which induces an irrefutable sentiment of romanticism.

Whether one decides for an early dawn flight, or a twilight flight, the magnificent illumination that will enclose the 'ballooners' will set the stage for the most extraordinarily gorgeous experience that they probably have ever had.

But which region is the most popular among ballooning flight lovers nowadays? It is especially the South Downs National Park, which is the epitome of quintessential England. Uniquely combining a biodiverse landscape with bustling towns and villages, the South Downs National Park covers an area of over 1,600 km2. Green rolling pastures, open spaces, ancient woodlands and river valleys truly encompass the National Park's ethos of being one of 'Britain's Breathing Spaces'.

For a couple on vacation, the experience of taking a balloon flight jointly can facilitate a deeper attachment and provides an opportunity to tell stories to children or grandchildren for years to come. Whether one desires to spend quality time with friends or family or simply to get on an ideal romantic getaway, hot air balloon flights Sussex is just the right ride. The most popular flight routes start from Wisborough Green or Midhurst which is now officially the base of the South Downs National Park Authority. Midhurst is the centre of the park allowing flights no matter what the wind chooses to do.

Whatever may be the determining reason for preparing a balloon flight, the delightful ride will certainly astonish all aboard.

SOUTH FLORIDA ENTREPRENEURS EXPECT GROWTH, PROSPERITY IN 2013 FOR REGION'S ECONOMY

MIAMI  (PR Buzz) January 4, 2013 -- South Florida entrepreneurs overwhelmingly expect a prosperous 2013 for the region's economy, according to a survey conducted by the Entrepreneurs' Organization South Florida (EO-SOFLO).

In the survey, more than 82 percent of EO-SOFLO respondents planned to hire more employees here during 2013. The same percentage predicted growth and prosperity for South Florida businesses overall.

EO-SOFLO has 150 entrepreneur members whose businesses account for more than $1 billion in revenues and 25,000 jobs in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. The group is the third-largest chapter of the global Entrepreneurs' Organization, which has more than 8,000 members - all of whom are majority shareholders of businesses with at least $1 million in revenue -- in more than 40 countries.

"Entrepreneurs are optimistic by nature, so the survey results aren't surprising," said Dr. Mark Sanna, EO chapter president and CEO of Breakthrough Coaching in Miami. "But there are various practical factors for us to expect the growth of 2012 to continue and improve this year."

In 2012, the survey showed more than 60 percent of EO-SOFLO member companies increased revenues, and more than 66 percent added jobs.

Numerous EO members, including Darren Seys, owner of Peak Seven advertising agency in Boca Raton, pointed to the rebounding real estate sector as major factor in South Florida economic growth in 2013.

"Real estate plays such a big role in the economy, especially in South Florida," according to Seys. "The continued growth of this segment is going to lift a very wide range of businesses that don't necessarily come to mind when you think of homebuilding or sales. Fortunately for me, somebody has to create the ads and the websites for real estate developers, builders and such."

South Florida's evolving technology sector and international business standing also ranked high as growth opportunities for 2013 among EO-SOFLO respondents.

According to the survey, top challenges for the South Florida economy in 2013 include uncertainty, new tax laws and regulation related to the recent "fiscal cliff" crisis; finding trained and talented staff; and access to working capital and growth funding from banks.

"Every year and business will have its challenges," Sanna said. "But 2013 looks to be ripe with opportunities and growth for our members and other South Florida companies."

New York, New York  (PRBuzz) January 10, 2013 -- If a couple of years ago unlocking an iPhone was considered risky, dangerous and even illegal, nowadays unlocking the phone as a means to enjoy all its features is as simple as sending a text message. iPhone unlock solution provider UnlockaniPhone is now offering an effective and reliable IMEI unlock solution for users who want to break free from the restrictions and high costs of a two-year contract and simply enjoy all the capabilities and features of their phones.

"The best part about IMEI unlocking is that your iPhone will remain unlocked even when updates are installed", says spokesperson for UnlockaniPhone.org. "IMEI unlocking works with any iPhone model, baseband and iOS versions, granting permanent cell phone unlock, with no jailbreak required. It's simply the most unsophisticated and effective method to unlock an iPhone without the risk of rendering the Apple warranty void or losing features and functionality."

Asked about the benefits of IMEI unlocking, spokesperson for the company named the ability of using the iPhone on the networks offered by foreign providers as the biggest advantage when traveling abroad. Rather than spending hundreds of dollars on roaming fees for international calls, the user can save considerably by using the iPhone with local SIM cards.

Escaping from a pricey contract is another great benefit of getting iOS devices unlocked, according to UnlockaniPhone.org, as many customers enter costly two-year contracts in order to acquire the phone at a lower price. "Since the average cost per month exceeds $70 for voice and data packages, it's easy to see that most network carriers' prepaid plans will go way beyond the full price of an iPhone."

iPhone users who want to learn more about iPhone unlocking should visit site at http://www.unlockaniphone.org.

Baltimore, MD  (PRBuzz) January 10, 2013 -- The skin is a woman's most precious asset and it's often considered a clear depiction of her beauty and hygiene routine, telling everyone how well she takes care of herself. Unfortunately, hundreds of millions of women are affected by severe skin disorders such as rashes, acne, blemishes, etc. Studies confirm that nearly 45% of all women ages 20 to 30 suffer from clinical acne, condition also affecting 13% of women ages 40 to 50.

Local Bank Branch Directory Now Available for Residents of Virginia

Richmond, Virginia (PRBuzz) January 10, 2013 -- With the announced official launch of VirginiaBankFinder.info, consumers and businesses looking for local bank branches in Virginia now have a simple and easy online directory resource to quickly find contact and location information.

This list of Virginia counties with banks covered by this directory include the following:

• Accomack County
• Albemarle County
• Alexandria City County
• Alleghany County
• Amelia County
• And others...

The VirginiaBankFinder.info website is a compilation of publicly available data, scoured from government provided and private business directories, about local bank branches throughout the state. The individual bank branches are organized according to counties, but users can also use the built-in site search tool to find specific banks according to name, city or zip code.

"If the website seems not quite complete, that is no accident," said Michael Romanski, the lead developer for this project. "With the constant turmoil and changes in the banking industry today, and the fact that web-researched data is never 100% accurate unless confirmed by each entity, we understand that this directory had to be a work in progress. That is why we specifically invite and encourage input from banks and consumers who may be searching for local banking options."

In fact, Virginia banks , credit unions and savings & loans with listings in the directory are invited to submit updates, edits, corrections or comments.

In-state banks, credit unions and S&Ls not currently in the directory may request a listing entry via the website's "Contact Us" form. There is no cost for a financial institution to have its directory listing included on this website, and all unlisted credit unions, banks and S&Ls are encouraged to submit their entry requests.

An additional measure employed by this directory is its anti-spam precautions. First of all, all directory listings are maintained and managed by actual human persons. Consequently, companies and marketers are not able to submit and receive automatic placement in the directory, thereby eliminating much of the clutter that many online directories encounter. This does mean that some listing requests may take up to and longer than 14 days to process, depending on the volume of requests. But the website development team felt this was a prudent trade-off.

The current listings only includes the basic contact information for banking institutions, such as bank name, phone number, mailing address and, when available, website domains. However, companies may also submit additional information, including company histories, news and product information. It also includes a news feed that will be used to provide current news about banking and finance, especially regarding Virginia news , as well as a directory page for useful Virginia resources .

"We came up with the name diAmano based on the Italian adjectives 'di a mano: of hand' and 'di amano: of love' and created our own word called diAmano: by hand with love. We feel that since everything we do is handcrafted with care and attention, that this name embodies who we are and what we stand for," said co-owner Craig D'Egidio. "We still hand dip all of our chocolates, unlike many other chocolate shops, and continue creating our own recipes for fresh made truffles and a variety of specialty confections. In addition, we also offer over 1,000 different customized shapes to make memorable impressions, for both personal and professional gifts."

"We recently introduced a line of specialty chocolate bars that range from hazelnut, blueberry, sea salt and dark chocolate, to cherry, chipotle, ancho powder and dark chocolate, to peanut butter and cocoa nibs in milk chocolate," said co-owner Sheree D'Egidio. "The truffles that have our chocolate business so popular, have been taken to a whole new level of flavor: Strawberry balsamic, chili habanero, creamy coconut cream pie, and the decadent cherry cheese blintz."

In addition to rebranding the business, the Sandy Springs retail space has recently undergone a complete renovation, allowing for not only a more inviting shopping experience, but also a window into the production room. Customers can now watch these talented chocolatiers make the delicious product right before their eyes!

(PRBuzz) January 10, 2013 -- If history tells us anything, springtime will be the peak season to sell your home this year. The number of homes on the market generally rises in March, with sales peaking in April and May before settling down in midsummer. With snow on the ground and a chill in the air, it may not feel like spring is right around the corner - but if you are planning to list your house for sale this spring, now is the time to get a head start on projects that will help ensure that you're ready for an early spring listing.

Most people know that putting a house on the market requires a good deal of preparation. The earlier you can get started, the less pressured you'll feel as listing day approaches. Remember that some "minor" repair projects can end up taking more time than expected, particularly if you are trying your hand at something you haven't done before.

Your first step is to stand back and take a thorough, objective look at your house. Ask yourself a few questions. What projects have you been meaning to get started? Are any of them pressing? Would completing all of them improve your chances of a sale? Beyond projects you've already considered, are there a few more that might make your home more attractive to potential buyers?

Here are just a few improvements you might want to consider. Some of them, you can probably do yourself, but if you don't consider yourself "handy," enlist a contractor ASAP to help with the projects that are beyond your ability to do well:

Make small repairs and replacements. Small fixes can lead to big appeal. Do you need to do some caulking in your bathroom or work on cleaning or replacing the grout between tiles? Fix leaky faucets or replace them entirely. Make sure that your toilets aren't running and that any appliances that will be included in the sale of the house are working properly. If tiles are cracked or chipped, now is the time to replace them. Take a can of WD-40 to squeaky hinges. And don't forget your floors. Steam-clean your carpets or have them professionally cleaned. Also consider the shape of your hardwood flooring. If they are a little dull, simply buffing them could shine them up.

Spruce up your rooms with coats of fresh paint. Painting takes a while, and if you're doing it yourself, you want to make sure that you do a thorough, professional job. Painting your trim (including baseboards, which get dingy quickly) can really brighten a room, while touching up the dings and scratches on your walls is a must. If you are painting full walls and rooms, remember that neutral colors work in your favor when selling your home. Potential buyers are better able to see you house as a blank canvas awaiting their sense of style.

Update your fixtures. Make a stop at Home Depot or Lowe's. Without spending a lot of money, you can easily swap out drawer pulls and door knobs that are in poor shape or just look "dated." Don't use anything too splashy, and take care to see that the fixtures in a room or area all match. Make sure your light bulbs not only work well, but provide enough bright lighting to really make your house stand out during showings.

Start spring cleaning a little early. Clean out those closets, the attic, the garage, the basement, and the shed in the backyard. Start boxing up seasonal items for removal to a storage unit or a family member's house. De-clutter the cupboards and drawers in your kitchen and pantry. And stow any knick-knacks that make your home look "busy."

Don't forget the outside of your house. Winter can be hard on a home, so check the exterior of your house for any damage caused by winter storms. Once the snow starts to melt, repair and replace broken gutters and drain spouts and repaint wooden steps and railings that have taken a beating in the weather.

With a little forward thinking, you can spread out the work required to get your home into tip-top shape. Start now, before the weather gets nice and spring fever sets in. When it comes time to list your house, you will have avoided the mad scramble that other sellers are making to whip their homes into shape for sale.

The Wizard works to raise public awareness of the importance of proper dryer vent installation and dryer maintenance

Buda TX  (PRBuzz) January 10, 2013 -- According to the Buda Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard, over 17,000 dryer fires are reported each year with owner neglect being the leading cause. Though plenty of media attention is focused on this issue, many continue to neglect this important home maintenance task.

Dryer Vent Wizard is a national dryer vent cleaning franchise that was created to assist homeowners in maintaining their dryer to reduce the risk of dryer fires. Wizards across the nation work to raise consumer awareness of the need for this important home service.

Bob Bryfogle, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.dryerventwizardofcentraltexas.com/), addresses several dryer related hazards, including home health threats caused by poor dryer ventilation. To date almost every home has a dryer. Whether gas or electric, airflow is the most important requirement for a dryer to work safely and efficiently. Gas dryers can be a carbon monoxide threat when not properly vented.

A clogged dryer vent is an unknown source for mold and other indoor air contaminants that can lead to health issues for residents. The biggest concern with lint accumulation in the dryer vent system is fire. Here are some of the benefits of regularly scheduled dryer vent cleaning service by the Wizard:

Dryer vent cleaning eliminates a fire hazard. Only about 60 percent of the lint produced by tumbling laundry is caught in the lint screen. The rest becomes trapped inside the dryer or in the dryer vent tube. This condition will restrict airflow, cause overheating and lead to a dryer fire.

Dryer vent cleaning improves dryer efficiency to reduce energy cost. Increased drying time is rarely a sign of wear or malfunction. It is almost always directly related to poor venting due to lint accumulation.

Dryer vent cleaning increases the life of the dryer. The clothes dryer is a simple but sturdy appliance. Proper maintenance will keep it performing well and hazard free.

Dryer Vent Wizard is the highest qualified dryer vent service provider in the nation with 60 franchised locations in the US. Professional dryer vent installation and regularly scheduled dryer vent cleaning is the best way to improve dryer performance, save energy and prevent dryer fires and other dryer problems. Bob Bryfogle serves Central Texas, Austin, Buda, Spicewood and surrounding cities and communities. Visit http://www.budatx.dryerventcleaningnow.com/ to learn more.

The Wizard finds and repairs problems with 9 out of 10 dryer vent inspections

Spicewood TX  (PRBuzz) January 10, 2013 -- A lot of media attention has been focused on dryer fire prevention, but seriously, is professional dryer vent cleaning really necessary? Many homeowners say they have never had a problem with their clothes dryer and they have never had dryer vent cleaning service performed. In fact, they never even gave dryer maintenance a second thought. So why should they pay for a dryer vent inspection now?

Bob Bryfogle, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard, challenges homeowners to take a closer look at their dryer. Bob specializes in commercial and residential dryer vent cleaning and new dryer vent installation. He finds and repairs problems in 90% of dryer vent systems he inspects. Bob is especially concerned about the owner who has never had a problem with their dryer; therefore, never had dryer vent inspection and service. He compares it with a ticking time bomb that could ignite during the next laundry drying cycle.

Over time, all dryer vents will accumulate lint which is highly flammable. All it takes is a spark from inside the dryer to ignite it and cause a rapidly spreading fire. Quite often, a dryer fire causes severe damage before it is noticed as it starts in the vent, inside a wall or sometimes, leading to the roof. Consumers can enjoy peace of mind knowing their dryer is safe from hazards by ordering dryer vent inspection and service by Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.dryerventwizardofcentraltexas.com/).

Dryer lint is moist when it is first removed from laundry, so very little will make to the vent outdoors. It becomes stuck to the sides of the dryer vent tube where it dries to a hard paste and attracts more lint with each load of laundry. As the lint accumulates, airflow is restricted and the dryer must work harder and longer to dry each load. This increases energy bills and can lead to malfunction, breakdown or a dryer fire.

Bob Bryfogle urges everyone, even the DIY enthusiast, to at least order a dryer vent inspection by a qualified dryer vent service technician to be sure the system is installed properly and promotes maximum airflow. Though failure to clean dryer vents is the leading cause of dryer fires, improper dryer vent installation, or use of inferior material can also be hazardous.

The Wizard addresses DIY homeowners to explain the importance of professional dryer vent installation and regularly scheduled dryer vent cleaning service

Austin TX  (PRBuzz) January 10, 2013 -- Dryer Vent Wizard of Central Texas addresses DIY homeowners as he urges them to have a dryer vent inspection performed by a qualified technician. Dryer vent installation is a rather simple concept, but there are some common critical errors well-meaning handymen and DIY enthusiasts make. 9 out of 10 dryer vent systems that are not installed by a qualified dryer vent service technician do not meet current safety standards.

Some dryer vent systems are very easy to clean while others are longer, with one more bends. The homeowner will do their best and clean what they can easily reach. Sadly, the most difficult areas to access pose the greatest danger because all areas are easily clogged by lint. Since lint can accumulate everywhere in the system, cleaning most of the dryer duct is not good enough. Air flow will be obstructed when lint accumulates anywhere in the dryer vent system.

Bob Bryfogle, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard (http://www.austindryerventcleaning.org/) specializes in all dryer vent service, dryer vent inspection, cleaning, repair and new dryer vent installation in homes and businesses. He is concerned about the DIY homeowner who is unaware of the changes in dryer vent safety standards.

Plastic, vinyl or flexible foil dryer ducts should be replaced with solid metal dryer venting for safety and efficiency. All dryers should be vented outdoors and the system must be properly installed. Even the very best dryer vent system installed by Dryer Vent Wizard will require maintenance. Here are some signs that dryer vent cleaning service is needed:

• Increased drying time
• Clothes are hot after a dryer cycle
• The outside of the dryer is hot while in use
• The laundry room is unusually hot and humid while the dryer is running
• Windows fog up when operating the dryer
• Little or no lint on the dryer filter
• Lint accumulated behind the dryer
• Little or no visible exhaust coming from the vent outside

Clogged dryer vents cause a number of problems including increased humidity in the home and indoor air contaminants like mold. A leak in the system can cause dryer exhaust to leak into the home. The moist lint trapped in the dryer duct is a perfect breeding ground for mold.

Gas dryers can be a carbon monoxide threat when not properly vented. All dryers produce lint which is flammable and failure to remove lint build up will eventually lead to a dryer fire.

There are many benefits to having regularly scheduled dryer vent service including energy savings and dryer fire prevention. The fee for service quickly pays for itself in reduced energy bills, better dryer performance and longer dryer life.
