Northbrook, IL (PRWEB) February 20, 2012

OpticsPlanet Inc. (http://www.OpticsPlanet.com) has taken a big step forward in their hearing enhancement selection with the addition of Pro Hear by Pro-Ears. Hunters, outdoorsmen and adventurers can find the perfect option for their unique needs with one of three new models of Pro Hear Behind-the-Ear Enhancers, each providing a different level of hearing amplification and noise reduction.

The Pro-Ears Pro Hear II is the first step into digital sound amplification. It allows hunters to stalk turkey and deer far more effectively, as the greater hearing distance hunters will enjoy gives them more time to line up a shot. The Pro Hear II is also useful for urban situations, when a reduction of loud noises from construction or traffic is welcome while necessary sounds such as sirens or other warning sounds are enhanced. This finely tuned hearing experience delivers balanced sounds whether the wearer is in the woods, walking along a busy city avenue or enjoying a ballgame. The discreet style of the Pro Hear II will help keep it undiscovered, and will not interfere with most glasses or hats.

The Pro-Ears Pro Hear II+ adds greater adjustability and three layered noise reduction for clearer amplification and greater feedback cancellation. The Pro Hear II+ minimizes general background noise and loud sounds even more effectively than the Pro Hear II so hunters will hear only the sounds they want to hear and nothing more.

As leader of the pack, the Pro-Ears Pro Hear IV is even lighter and more comfortable than the Pro Hear II and II+, but employs more advanced audio technology to allow for greater customization with memory programming for varied environments and the highest sound quality in the Pro Hear family.

These new hearing enhancers from Pro-Ears require no special fitting and will work equally well for either ear. They have been engineered to provide clear, consistent sound that is easy for the brain to interpret, giving hunters, shooters and nature enthusiasts an advantage over their game in the field. OpticsPlanet is excited to have these new shooting accessories from Pro-Ears added to their network of stores because it brings them one step closer to providing the world’s widest selection of hunting and shooting gear to professionals and enthusiasts.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) January 22, 2012

MyAdventures.com, the online resource for adventurers, outdoor enthusiasts and cultural explorers, has just re-launched with a completely re-designed site as an adventure experience network. This re-launch is the result of recently conducted survey of its users, where the feedback from 70% was that they often have a hard time finding and connecting up with others who share their interests.

Many have tried traditional social networks but because those focus on existing friends, they fall short of the networking needs of adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Based on this input, MyAdventures.com engaged with web design and development firm, Tecture LLC, to re-make itself into an “adventure experience network.” The new site was officially launched January 1, 2012. Members can now connect up based on their interests to share experiences, planning needs, and even partnering opportunities.

Whatever one defines as “adventure” such as back-packing, camping, mountain climbing, deep sea diving, para-sailing or even taking a road trip, a dedicated adventure-driven community is waiting to share information on http://www.MyAdventures.com.

Members can plan their adventures on the site, then afterwards, tell what happened, complete with “been there” detail, documenting snapshots and links to action videos. Site search capabilities enable users to find other members’ adventures by activity as well as global location.

With the ability to favorite members and adventures, tag friends onto adventures and with comment notifications, members are now able to easily find each other based on interests. A personal dashboard lets each member track what’s happening with his or her network on the site.

Enthusiasts of all types of adventures, from eco-tourism to mountain climbing, whether far away or close to home, are encouraged to register now at http://www.MyAdventures.com to find their own adventure experience network.

Background

MyAdventures.com is an adventure experience network site for outdoor enthusiasts, adventure travelers and cultural explorers. The site was founded by Keith Bates, an avid member of the 100-year-old Adventurers Club of Chicago which provides “a hearth and home for those who have left the beaten path and made for adventure.” After years of planning, Bates recently partnered with Tecture LLC, a Chicago-based web design and development firm with a unique vision for the site’s execution to bring that vision to life.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 16, 2012

Verbal abuse, phony lawsuits, and constant intimidation are just some of the techniques the banking industry uses to illegally pursue widows and grieving family members for the debts of deceased loved ones – debts that they don’t even owe. According to a leading consumer finance website, national media exposure about the problem hasn’t stopped it. A new report issued by CreditCardAssist.com features interviews with recent victims, exploring the human toll of the banking industry’s aggressive tactics.

“When you die, your debts are forgiven by the state, but that doesn’t seem to matter to the banking industry,” says Credit Card Assist CEO Bill Hazelton. “Grieving family members are being strong-armed into paying money they don’t owe. It’s illegal in the worst kind of way, and everyone knows about it, and nobody is doing anything to make it stop.”

One widow recalled being called by collectors on the day of her husband’s funeral. After they expressed their “sympathies,” she was told that they expected her to pay off his debts, including the ones he had accrued seven years before they married. Another woman was aggressively hounded by a debt collector for the money her father still owed on a truck he had purchased just before his passing. The collector called her at home and at her office constantly for two months, leaving threatening messages and once reducing her to tears in front of a client.

Though the FTC has slapped several collection agencies with civil fines for violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act in the last few years, it declined to institute a “cool-down” period this August that would have prevented lenders or their affiliates from contacting grieving family members for 45 days following the death of a debtor.

“It’s not illegal to call these widows,” Hazelton says, “but it is illegal to harass them. Collectors do it because they know that people don’t know their rights and because taking legal action is expensive. Legislation is required. This needs to change.”

Since founding Credit Card Assist in 2004, Bill Hazelton has been a staunch advocate for consumer rights. Under his guidance, the finance blog has grown into one of the leading credit resources on the Internet. Its on-site reports have been cited by the San Francisco Chronicle, the New York Post, Yahoo! News and more.

To learn more about Credit Card Assist or to schedule an interview, please email matt(at)contentfac(dot)com or call 724-747-9792. The entire report can be viewed here.

BoatsPlus Classifieds

Melbourne, Victoria (PRWEB) May 08, 2011

Highly regarded Australian online marine trading site, BoatsPlus, has traditionally focused on showcasing new boats and motors. However, in a bid to offer an affordable alternative to those wishing to buy and sell used boats, it has now launched BoatsPlus Classifieds.

A Challenge To Existing Boat Sales Sites

BoatsPlus Owner, Luke Moulton, decided to challenge existing online used boat sales sites because, he believes, they are over-priced and do not offer consumers the best bang for their buck.

“The online boating classifieds competition is quite fierce – there are some big players providing ads for both dealers and domestic customers.” he explained. “We believe that by leveraging our current infrastructure we are able to offer an affordable alternative.”

That the BoatsPlus.com.au website already receives over 45,000 visitors per month, speaks volumes for the high regard in which it is held in the Australian boating community. With the addition of the new classifieds section for boat sales, along with outboard motors, yachts and other marine accessories, the site will, Moulton believes, “maximise our existing visitor’s experience”.

The Australian Marine Love Affair

Australia has always had a water-loving population, having a great affinity with water sports, including sailing, cruising, jet-skiing, canoeing, kayaking and water skiing. It should therefore come as no surprise to learn that boat-ownership is one of the goals of its coastal population.

In what many agree to be challenging economic times, the trend has been for Australian’s to holiday at home, often with water sports playing a key role. As a result, the BoatsPlus team is committed to placing a high degree of importance on delivering the best possible value to its customers through its new classifieds service.

Used boat classifieds will be an important addition to the BoatsPlus online portal, which currently features:

Boats For Sale

Boat Engines

Outboard Motors

Motor Yachts

Kayaks

Boat Share

Boat Accessories

Personal Watercraft

Boat Reviews

Time-Sensitive Free Listing Offer

A very limited introductory offer for a free classified listing is available now at Free Used Boat Listing.

Snorkeling in Destin is a Great Group Activity

Destin, FL (PRWEB) February 13, 2012

Planning a group vacation is fun, stressful and rewarding all at the same time. Trying to please all the group members is a difficult task since there is usually different ages and interests. Destin is a great destination to visit because there are so many different things to do that appeal to kids, teens, adults and seniors. When planning a group visit to Destin, here are some top activity recommendations that are sure to please.

1) Dolphin Tours – Dolphin tours are inexpensive, educational and exciting. There are several different ways to see dolphins, but its best to tour on a larger yacht that can accommodate larger group sizes. Certain vessels in Destin can take up to 150 passengers such as the Miss Florida or Hannah Marie.

2) Fishing Charters – There are all sorts of fishing charter companies that can accommodate both small and large groups. Charter fishing has been a Destin favorite for many years and visitors come from all over to fish. It’s best to book a private charter to guarantee a time and day, but the bargain hunters seek the head boats (aka party boats) for great prices. Head boats can typically take up to 50 passengers, but it can be pretty tight.

3) Snorkeling Tours – Snorkeling on the Destin Jetties is a great group activity that allows everyone to get wet and explore. There are several different companies that offer tours in the Destin area and most vessels can accommodate group sizes of 30 or more. It’s typically a better deal when the entire boat is booked opposed to buying individual tickets.    

4) Waterpark – Big Kahunas is Destin’s only waterpark, but it’s perfect for groups of all sizes. The waterpark has several amenities for groups including an open area for picnics, lockers, group attendants and on-site catering. The waterpark has over 40 different water attractions, miniature golf, go carts and thrill rides.

5) Beach Photography – Don’t leave Destin without getting the perfect group photo. Hire one of Destin’s professional photographers for a beach session.

The Thorn Easter Experience

Vista, CA (PRWEB) February 06, 2012

Churches across the United States will now be able to present the Easter story in a new, impactful way that features realistic videos, live dramas and beautiful music – thanks to a new program provided by Outreach Inc. a southern California based church marketing and publishing company, and The Thorn Live a Colorado-based theatrical company.

Over the last 15 years, thousands of people have witnessed The Thorn Live, a spectacular dramatic presentation of the story of the cross that has toured several cities around the United States. Complete with music, acting, dance, martial arts, gymnastics, pyrotechnics, video, and more, The Thorn Live has enabled audiences across the country to experience Easter in a new way.

Now this exclusive licensed content from “The Thorn Live” production is available for churches to use, creating a worship experience unlike any other Easter service. The Thorn Easter Experience Church Kit allows a church of any size to present the greatest story ever told in a unique and powerful way.

With The Thorn Easter Experience Church Kit, any church can tailor the resources to fit their Easter Sunday needs – use everything for a full dramatic event, or just a few pieces – no matter how the church incorporates The Thorn Easter Experience into a service, attendees will experience the power and compassion of Jesus’ life, the pain of his crucifixion, and the triumph of his resurrection.

“Easter is a perfect opportunity to invite friends, neighbors, and co-workers to church. The Thorn Easter Experience is a one-of-a-kind service that will inspire guests and encourage them to respond to the fresh presentation and biblical accounts.” said Eric Abel, VP of Marketing at Outreach, Inc.

“By partnering with the Thorn…we have been able to present the greatest story ever told with a level of excellence that we would have never been able to do alone. What I love most about The Thorn is that it demands a response. It isn’t possible to sit through a Thorn production without contemplating God’s deep love for you, and responding to that love.”- Josh Surratt, Seacoast Church

Outreach Inc. is excited to partner with The Thorn Live and offer this extraordinary production to the sight and sound generation and hope that many will come to see Easter in a whole new way.

Fairfield, CA (PRWEB) February 13, 2012

In the 2003 holiday classic, Love Actually, starring Hugh Grant and Liam Neeson, a number of seemingly separate stories are told whose characters in the end find their lives interwoven within one another. In similar fashion, Marianne Tong’s book of short stories, Mindpieces: A Collection of Short Works (published by AuthorHouse), appears on the scene.

The stories found within Mindpieces are so diverse that the women in each don’t know each other, but are somehow connected to the protagonist.

Tong hopes readers will find inspiration in her book. “In today’s society, women, especially older women, remain hesitant to assert their talents. Many are still struggling for recognition in their professions. Many of these stories will inspire them to follow their hearts and dreams.”

Into the familiar histories of World War I, World War II, the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, and several other current events, Tong has woven many stories that relate delightfully to the reader’s own experiences.

Readers who enjoy shorter works that can be read in a single sitting will particularly enjoy Mindpieces. Also interested are those who enjoy genealogy and those who are akin to stories about empowering women who lived in during the World Wars.

About the Author

Born in Germany before World War II and immigrating at age 13, Marianne Tong has experienced a great variety of events.. She married a U.S. military man of Chinese descent and became the mother of four children. Tong not only held interest in learning the English language but also with her husband’s heritage. As a storyteller, she has translated the documentation and her observations into narrative easy-to-read form. Tong lives with her husband in Northern California within easy driving distance of all her children and grandchildren.
