<p class="releaseDateline">Alta Ski Area, Alta Utah (PRWEB) February 16, 2012 </p>
<p> The Alta Chamber &amp; Visitors Bureau (http://www.discoveralta.com) and the Alta community is kicking off a week of fun in April for skiers and lodge guests, in an effort to celebrate another great year of skiing at Alta Ski Area. This first-annual event at Alta Ski Area is called Alta in April, and it is sure to be a great reason to visit Alta. From April 6 &#8211; 13, 2012, Alta, Utah locals and visitors will enjoy great lodging specials, apres ski events, live music, an on-mountain ski scavenger hunt, a free demo day with next year&#8217;s skis, sunshine, great skiing, friends and more! </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Alta in April kicks off with the annual Alta Gala on April 6 at La Caille. The Alta Gala event on Friday, April 6 is an annual fundraising event for three non-profits at Alta, Utah—the Alta Community Enrichment, Alta Historical Society, and Friends of Alta. Tickets for this event are $  115 and can be purchased through altagala.org. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>On Saturday, skiers can demo next year&#8217;s skis through Alta ski company reps at the base of the Collins Lift. Family fun on Sunday centers around the traditional Easter egg hunt in the Albion Basin.  Friends will have the opportunity to get together after skiing at four organized après ski events on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Self-confidence and a good sense of humor are all you need to enter the stretch pant contest on Friday where prizes will be awarded for the best retro ski outfit!

<p class="releaseDateline">(PRWEB) February 12, 2012 </p>
<p> On the 21st February the much-awaited award ceremony ‘The Toscars’ will be held at Hollywood’s premier venue The Supperclub.  Non other than the Queen’s favorite British comedian and BAFTA winner Jim Tavare will host this fun filled event, which has been rumored to be the most fun attendees will have during the awards season!  A panel of celebrity experts will judge the short parodies of the 9 Oscar nominated films including multiple EMMY winner and Oscar writer Bruce Vilanch, one of Hollywood’s favorite TV and Film stars Skeet Ulrich, 80&#8242;s icon Siobhan Fahey from Bananarama and Perez Hilton’s favorite Drew Droege.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The glamorous red carpet awards ceremony &#8216;The Toscars&#8217; is now in it’s 5th year and will benefit The Actors Fund.  As soon as the 2012 Oscar nominees for best picture were announced, plots were written, actors were cast and it was time for ‘lights, camera, action’ to film these humorous parodies.  Last year ‘The King Speak’ took the Toscar.  Other coveted awards are given to the best ‘Whactress’ or ‘Whactor’ of the night.  Actors starring in the films are from hits like True Blood, NCIS:LA, Fringe, Desperate Housewives and a special aerial Performance by cirque artist  Michael Lipari is set to wow the audience. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Previous years have seen British celebrities Michael Sheen, Luke Evans and Chris O&#8217;Dowd enjoy in the festivities.   This year will be bigger and better then ever.  Who will win the 2012 Toscar and be gifted the golden fist?  We will find out on February 21st.  </p>

<p class="releaseDateline">Bloomfield Hills, Michigan (PRWEB) September 09, 2011 </p>
<p> Sports fans can now easily bet their friends with the latest social networking game: SideBetsTM – a new mobile application that offers an entertainment platform for virtual peer-to-peer betting. Using an iPhone, iTouch or iPad, sports fans can instantly connect with one or more friends and place a bet on the day’s biggest games.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The only game in the Apple App Store that allows fans to bet against their friends on sports, SideBets provides year-round action on College and Pro Football, College and Pro Basketball, Professional Baseball and Hockey.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>&#8220;SideBets offers a hassle-free alternative or companion to sporting past-times such as fantasy football. With this application, there are no tedious office pool spreadsheets or countless hours spent analyzing player match-ups and injury reports.  All you do is turn on the app and start picking games,” said Randy Leff, Blue Ox Entertainment co-founder. “The most exciting part is the social aspect of the game – instead of betting against an anonymous sports book, you are betting against your friends.  SideBets provides the thrill of gambling in a completely legal format, without the cost of traditional sports-book betting.” </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Players can download the App for 99 cents and receive 100 SideBet Dollars™ (SBDs) to begin placing wagers.  Users can then purchase more SBDs to replenish their virtual currency as needed. No real money is exchanged through the application, but SideBets keeps track of your betting record against each friend, so you know just where things stand. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>SideBets integrates game schedules, sports book odds and live scoring updates, which allow you to monitor your bets in real-time. Players can also send messages and “trash talk” with friends via the “Banter” utility. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>SideBets was created by Michigan-based, Blue Ox Entertainment. Founders Jon Goldstein, Randy Leff and Jason Page – three sports fans and University of Michigan alumni – share a passion for betting on sports with friends and wanted to create a way to automate the process.  “As life got busier with our jobs and families, we realized an opportunity in the marketplace to create a modern, streamlined, and social approach to sports betting,” said Leff.    </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>To download the SideBets app, search the App Store for SideBets, visit http://www.sidebetme.com or twitter @sidebetsapp. An Android version will be released in the coming months.</p>

                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">Hauppauge, NY (PRWEB) February 01, 2012 </p>
<p> Direct Line Cruises Inc., one of the largest cruise-only travel agencies in the country, has announced the launch of their newly redesigned website.  Aesthetic changes are apparent, however the most important transformations were made in content and functionality. As before, the site can be accessed at http://www.DirectLineCruises.com.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The revamped site merges the concept of an online booking engine, customer service center and cruise-oriented travel guide.  It is a multimedia experience featuring video, animation, photo galleries, and social interaction. Greg Coiro, CEO of Direct Line Cruises states, “Our primary reason for retooling the website was to build a more comprehensive information bank for potential consumers while increasing online customer service access for all our clients”.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The company has made a large investment in an online customer service center that gives clients the resources to view and make modifications to their booking without having to pick up the telephone. Name corrections, dining changes, credit card changes, adding loyalty numbers, requesting rate adjustment and prepaying gratuities can all be done in a few keystrokes. Driving directions integrated with Google maps grants security to those driving to the pier. There are links that lead clients effortlessly through the mandatory guest registration process as well as the printing of electronic boarding passes. A special feature of the site is the animated cruise line purser offering advice on every page.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In conjunction with the high level of online customer service comes the reassurance of the Direct Line Cruises Exclusive Client Care Program. Travel insurance included with cruises 5-nights or longer, a money-back service commitment, and a 3-way rate protection guarantee provide confidence and comfort for all those that book with the agency. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The Direct Line Cruises website gives potential clients access to a sophisticated, yet user-friendly booking tool.  It’s searching and filtering capabilities allow travelers to find their perfect cruise vacation based on options such as date, cruise line, ship, departure port or destination. Search results offer current pricing with the capacity to book online, 24/7.  An interactive deck plan gives clients explicit visualization of cabin availability and location enabling them to select the perfect cabin with confidence. Cruisers looking for great last minute pricing will appreciate the top buys of the week selected by the Direct Line Cruises’ staff on the new “Deals” page.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>With the addition of a broad range of essential travel information tailored specifically to the cruiser, the website has become an efficient way to research a cruise vacation.  Direct Line Cruises’ ongoing effort to enhance the quality and availability of relevant information includes all-inclusive overviews of cruise lines, their ships and cruise destinations. Travel partners Azamara Club Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean Cruise Line are all well represented. Written commentary is supported by vast all-inclusive photo galleries and exciting video tours of both ships and destinations. A database of frequently asked questions is a reliable source of cruise line policy and amenities while unbiased cruise reviews written by Direct Line Cruises’ clients offer a more subjective view. In addition, a new cruise forum will allow cruisers to exchange tips and ask questions of each other and the Direct Line Cruises’ moderators. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>To celebrate the redesigned website, clients that book a cruise 5-nights or longer at http://www.DirectLineCruises.com or through the Direct Line Cruises&#8217; call center at (800) 352-8088 can enjoy up to $  100 in onboard credits, travel insurance plus the exclusive 3-Way Rate Protection Plan.  In addition, the first 500 people to book their cruise on the website will receive a free Direct Line Cruises t-shirt.  And so nobody feels left out, everyone that visits the new website may enter to win a free cruise valued up to $  1800.</p>

<p class="releaseDateline">San Jose, California (PRWEB) January 18, 2012 </p>
<p> Follow us on LinkedIn – Digital technology is changing the face of consumer electronics, with the marketplace reaping huge benefits from the rising popularity of interactive digital applications. Products such as digital TVs, cameras, camcorders, smartphones and mobile computing devices have now infiltrated every home. The marketplace is not surprisingly characterized by cutthroat competition, short product life cycles and increasing product commoditization. Consumers across the globe are benefiting from the intense price competition in the industry, which is eating into the profit margins of manufacturers, while simultaneously making electronic products affordable across various geographies, particularly in fast growing economies such as China and India.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Powering most of the innovation witnessed in consumer electronics is the semiconductor industry, which has played a significant role in the evolution of several path-breaking technologies that have changed the face of world that we live in today, including mobile phones and computing devices that have revolutionized communications and information technology areas respectively.  The role of semiconductors in this technology driven world is becoming highly evident, thanks to their extensive use in a wide range of applications right from traditional computers, televisions, audio players, and telephones to more advanced electronic gadgets such as mobile phones, smartphones, PDAs, DVD players, portable media players, video games, home-theater systems, microwaves, and printers, all of which use semiconductor devices. Development of smaller, faster, and cost efficient microchips will guide future innovations in the electronics space in the upcoming years.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Consumer automotive electronics will witness the maximum efficacy in terms of growth and product innovation, given that over 60% of a car&#8217;s value resides in its electronics. In-car audio/visual systems like in-dash multimedia system with DVD video, in-dash video receivers, digital satellite radio, automotive DVD players, onboard video displays for rear seat entertainment, dedicated GPS/navigation and telematics systems, are poised to witness the highest growth.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In the home entertainment sector, handheld games, console games will witness the strongest gains in sync with the growing household penetration of video games in general. Home audio equipment represents a huge market after television in the worldwide consumer electronics industry. Currently in vogue are flattened speakers, a revolutionary design transformation from the traditional boxy models. Smaller, and compact speakers are also very much in vogue. Thoughtfully, and artistically designed speakers command a higher price in the marketplace given the changing image of speakers from just a sound reproducing device into an object of fine art. A noteworthy lifestyle induced phenomenon is the widespread popularity of using PCs for audio and video entertainment. The rise of plasma and flat-screen television sets in the consumer electronics market has created a need for speakers also to move in sync with the trend. Flat-panel loudspeakers have emerged to provide advanced sound complementariness and synergies with the advanced video display technology of TVs.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In the communications segment, handheld computing devices, comprising of Laptop/Notebook PC, Smartphones, PDAs and Tablet PCs, are rising in popularity chiefly as a result of workforce mobility. Globally, notebook personal computers are increasingly outpacing desktop PCs in terms of features, computing power and price. Laptops consume up to 90 percent less energy in comparison to desktops PCs. With rising energy cost and the shrinking price difference between a desktop and laptop, over the entire product lifecycle makes laptop a cost-effective solution than a desktop from a TCO (total cost of ownership) perspective. The industry is positive about the potential for mobile computing devices in both developed and developing nations, thanks to rise in popularity of online social networking sites (such as Facebook) and growing online video consumption. In future years, people will continue to access their favorite Internet sites ‘on-the-go’, due to adoption of a dynamic and mobile lifestyle. Also, advancements in mobile computing technologies will support the rising popularity of notebooks and netbook PCs as consumers opt to make their personal computers more mobile. This trend is likely to continue as notebooks feature more customized options, broader connectivity options, enhanced energy-efficiency, while technology innovation delivers a more vibrant multimedia experience.</p>

<p class="releaseDateline">(PRWEB) January 21, 2012 </p>
<p> Women may wonder if their husbands are forgetting Valentine&#8217;s Day because he&#8217;s celebrating mistress day instead.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Valentine&#8217;s Day should be special and romantic for couples, but it may actually be someone outside the marriage who is getting the attention and special gifts. AOL reports that February 13th is becoming just as busy for florists, restaurants and others because it&#8217;s the day men take out their mistresses (http://aol.it/wPle6h). In this situation, points out Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil, everyone loses. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>&#8220;Aside from the issue of the affair in the first place, the mistress is going to feel second fiddle for being taken out on the 13th, which will often lead the man to purchase more expensive, romantic gifts for her &#8211; they&#8217;ll get diamonds or jewelry for their mistress and gift their wife with something like a blender or a practical gift. The wife will be taken out on the 14th but men often buy their wives something less romantic.&#8221; </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>A survey done by website Ashley Madison shows that men will spend more on gifts for their mistresses than on gifts for their wives (http://bit.ly/zd6UJQ).  Dr. Bonnie says they do this to impress and pacify the mistress because they feel guilty about not being able to spend time with her on Valentine&#8217;s Day and forcing her into &#8220;half a loaf&#8221; status. Men will even take their mistress and wife to the same restaurant, but on different nights &#8211; essentially making the staff of the restaurant accomplices in the affair as well. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Dr. Bonnie identifies this problem as the Madonna-Wh-re complex: the split that happens when men begin to see their wives as &#8220;the Madonna&#8221; &#8211; the person who takes care of them and their children &#8211; and then seek out another women to fulfill a need for excitement, novelty and mystery. &#8220;Men often turn their wife into a &#8220;Madonna,&#8221; the caregiver, and put her on a pedestal. They then turn to the mistress to fulfill their thrill-seeking, sexual desires&#8221; Dr. Bonnie elaborates. Instead of creating a lose/lose situation for everyone Dr. Bonnie instructs her patients to have an affair with their own partner instead of seeking out someone else to fill the role of sexy romantic. She offers this tip for wives: &#8220;get out of the house, put on a sexy outfit, and go out on the town with your husband! This way, husbands will be inclined to see their wives as the &#8216;mistress&#8217; instead of as just the Madonna.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Additionally, &#8220;it&#8217;s important to constantly re-create, revitalize, re-energize those brain chemicals that couples had when they first fell in love,&#8221; says Dr. Bonnie. Engaging in behavior as simple as a 20-second hug &#8211; which releases dopamine, making you feel alive, happy or in love &#8211; or a 30-second kiss &#8211; which releases a dose of oxytocin, the cuddle hormone &#8211; will help people feel bonded and happy. These are the brain chemicals at work when people first fall in love, so making them last through life is important. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Engaging in this type of behavior is important for preventing the Madonna-Mistress split that sometimes happens &#8211; where men begin to see their wives as the mother figure, and look elsewhere for their romantic pursuits. </p>
