The New, Old Social Media; How ProBoards is Revolutionizing Online Forums

The New, Old Social Media; How ProBoards is Revolutionizing Online Forums











ProBoards Free Forum Hosting


Lake Forest, CA (PRWEB) February 27, 2012

While the modern Internet message board bears little resemblance to its progenitor, the BBS or, bulletin board system, online-forum software developers have done little to incorporate the advancements of Web 2.0 technology.

Not so with enlightened industry leader Patrick Clinger, CEO of free forum host ProBoards. As a panelist on ForumCon’s recent “Future of Forums” roundtable and, no stranger to “firsts” in this space, Clinger has been in the fore of discussion board development since creating his first message board 14 long years ago.

With the development of ProBoards’ new V5 forum software, forum enthusiasts should be thrilled by the marriage of an interactive AJAX, Web 2.0 environment combined with the traditional functionality of a feature-rich discussion forum. Through this dramatic transformation, ProBoards ushers the staid message board into the 21st century. V5 users will enjoy.

Global login; By simply using their email, users will now be able to easily manage multiple unique profiles, join new message boards with just a few clicks and, login to multiple separate forums with a single “global login” identity.

Upgraded search; Alone in their provision of an AJAX driven “live-search” tool where results update as the user types, ProBoards understands a key feature of online forums is the volumes of topic-specific information contributed by experts and enthusiasts; thus making this new “data-mining” tool a boon to users.

Flash based avatar maker; As new members generally don’t have ready-made avatars when they join a free forum, the interactive avatar maker in V5 provides for the creation of entirely unique, customized images for each of their new profiles.

Notifications; Message board owners will enjoy increased participation as members respond to a variety of notifications related to their activities. Members can customize notifications and receive links directly to postings where others have “liked”, “tagged”, or “quoted’ them, and much more.

Activity feeds; Utilizing V5 activity feeds, members can easily follow others, see which topics they’ve participated in, read the posts they liked and more thus keeping them connected to friends and updated on discussions as they develop.

Enhanced privacy controls; For those who prefer a little more anonymity, members can control who can see or, “follow” their message board activity. They also have the option to control who can private message (PM) them and even hide postings from other forum members they don’t choose to interact with.

Next-gen forum moderation tools; enables forum moderators to communicate privately about issues that may require action. Moderator input is stored in protected areas which can then be reviewed, discussed and acted upon by fellow moderators (issue warnings, ban users, disable accounts, take no action, etc).

WYSIWYG editor; ProBoards is also including the most advanced post-editor of any free forum software on the market. The V5 user-friendly editor supports advanced style sheets (CSS) allowing for the creation of truly unique posting options.    

As the social media miracle evolves, like-minded global constituencies continue to seek more empowering platforms to host their discourse. Scheduled for a 2012 launch, early adopters have been signing up in droves to take the new “gold standard” of message boards for a test drive. For a preview of ProBoards V5-Beta, go to http://proboards.com/beta.

About ProBoards: ProBoards is the largest host of free discussion forums on the Internet. Build a successful community and join the millions of people who use ProBoards each month. Visit us at http://proboards.com for more information.

To schedule an interview with ProBoards CEO, Patrick Clinger, please email Lary West at lwest(at)proboards(dot)com. To sign up to become a V5-Beta Test Pilot, go to http://proboards.com/beta.

IBM and GE Indicating Where the Stock Market?s Going, Reports Profit Confidential

IBM and GE Indicating Where the Stock Market’s Going, Reports Profit Confidential











IBM and GE Indicating Where the Stock Market’s Going


New York, NY (PRWEB) February 22, 2012

There are a number of benchmark stocks that Mitchell Clark, contributor to the leading financial newsletter Profit Confidential, follows that are very good indicators either for a specific industry, the economy in general, or the stock market. In a recent article, Clark revealed what certain benchmark stocks are saying right now.

“A benchmark stock that’s always worth keeping an eye on is IBM Corporation,” says Clark. “This stock has been going up, virtually in a straight line, since September of 2010. Today, the stock is priced right at its all-time record high of $ 194.00 per share.”

Clark highlights that Wall Street analysts are continuing to increase their earnings expectations for IBM, with 18 analysts in the last 30 days increasing their earnings estimates for all of 2012.

“Another benchmark stock I want to see a breakout in is General Electric Company,” says Clark. “This stock has basically been trading between $ 10.00 and $ 20.00 a share since the stock market low of March 2009.”

Clark points out that General Electric proved to be a good leading indicator for the global economic slowdown and should therefore be a good indicator of its recovery.

One company that Clark feels is an important benchmark stock to follow is Automatic Data Processing, Inc. “This well-known payroll and human resources outsourcing company provides a great barometer on the Main Street economy and the U.S. employment picture specifically,” says Clark.

Automatic Data Processing’s quarterly results last year were very solid, according to Clark, considering the state of the economy.

“If a benchmark stock like Automatic Data Processing is trading right near its 52-week high, it’s one more sign that the U.S. economy is moving in the right direction, albeit slowly,” says Clark.

Profit Confidential, which has been published for over a decade now, has been widely recognized as predicting five major economic events over the past 10 years. In 2002, Profit Confidential started advising its readers to buy gold-related investments when gold traded under $ 300 an ounce. In 2006, it “begged” its readers to get out of the housing market… before it plunged.

Profit Confidential was among the first (back in late 2006) to predict that the U.S. economy would be in a recession by late 2007. The daily e-letter correctly predicted the crash in the stock market of 2008 and early 2009. And Profit Confidential turned bullish on stocks in March of 2009 and rode the bear market rally from a Dow Jones Industrial Average of 6,440 on March 9, 2009, to 12,876 on May 2, 2011, a gain of 99%.

Rising Food Prices Propelling Inflation Worldwide, Special Report by Profit Confidential

Rising Food Prices Propelling Inflation Worldwide, Special Report by Profit Confidential











Rising Food Prices Propelling Inflation Worldwide


New York, NY (PRWEB) February 21, 2012

Popular financial newsletter Profit Confidential reports that global food prices jumped 1.9% in January around the globe, the biggest monthly gain in 11 months. According to Michael Lombardi, lead contributor to Profit Confidential, things are going to get worse.

“At a time when economic growth worldwide is slowing, citizens around the world are hampered in their spending because their personal budgets are being ‘eaten’ away by higher food prices,” says Lombardi.

While in the U.S., food costs account for less disposable income than in developing countries, Lombardi points out that low-income earners here in the U.S. don’t have that luxury: “Their food costs, as a percentage of income, are comparable to developing countries.”

Chinese inflation rose 4.5% in January, which Lombardi highlights as much higher than expected: “The main culprit for the rise of inflation was food inflation, which surged 10.5% year-over-year.”

Lombardi outlines what happens if the Federal Reserve embarks on QE3 to spur economic growth: “This will result in a fall in the value of the U.S. dollar against other world currencies, which will cause all commodities, including oil and food prices, to rise, because they are priced in U.S. dollars.”

The government has increased its debt by approximately $ 5.0 trillion in four years, which worries Lombardi, “No country can issue so much debt and create so much new money without creating inflation. History has proven this.”

This is the reason Lombardi has called for higher gold bullion prices, which have risen 470%.

“As the economy slows further in 2012, as the Fed unleashes QE3 to deal with the softening economy, gold prices again rise with inflation,” says Lombardi.

Profit Confidential, which has been published for over a decade now, has been widely recognized as predicting five major economic events over the past 10 years. In 2002, Profit Confidential started advising its readers to buy gold-related investments when gold traded under $ 300 an ounce.

New Designer Mens Palladium Wedding Rings Released at MWR

February 19, 2012 cakpuad Uncategorized

New Designer Mens Palladium Wedding Rings Released at MWR












Jensen Beach, FL (PRWEB) February 16, 2012

In keeping with MWR’s commitment to meet the ever-changing needs of men’s wedding ring buyers; the retailer is pleased to offer a wide range of designer men’s palladium wedding rings for their customers. Shoppers have come to expect the greatest variety of metals from their online store, which includes several other designer collections from Benchmark. Benchmark was the first major designer to introduce men’s designer palladium rings to the marketplace, and because they look so much like platinum, they were very well received. Palladium also gives MWR’s customers another fantastic alternative to pricier precious metals.

Adding to their premium designer collections in gold, diamond, platinum, Argentium silver and seranite, MWR is among the first to offer a selection of designer men’s palladium wedding rings. As gold prices rise and jewelry buyers become more practical with their selections, palladium is expected to be a popular choice for grooms-to-be again this year. Mens-Wedding-Rings.com has earned a reputation for offering shoppers the best selection of traditional and alternative wedding rings in styles to match every man’s personal style. Designer men’s palladium rings were among the first collections featuring an “contemporary” metal in wedding jewelry, and yet this retailer has found that very few people know about palladium and what makes it so different from the rest.

Less than two years since the launch of their store, Mens-Wedding-Rings.com has become known as one of the best retail marketers in the wedding ring industry. A major contributor to this early success has been their dedication to providing an unparalleled resource for online shoppers in search of men’s wedding rings. When shoppers enter the site, they find an endless selection of men’s rings in gold, silver, platinum, tungsten, titanium, cobalt and palladium, plus recently added designer collections of diamond, seranite and Argentium silver rings. While the popularity of some contemporary metals may rise and fall, MWR’s customers have shown consistent interest in designer men’s palladium wedding rings.

Despite their longstanding reputation among wedding ring buyers, palladium rings have not been as widely promoted as industrial metals like tungsten and titanium. They are a little more expensive than some of the edgier industrial metals, however, and many jewelers regard palladium as a precious metal since it is mined right alongside platinum. This may explain the difficulty with putting palladium rings in a category. Historically, palladium was too hard to be melted into jewelry molds, so it was used as a “strategic metal” by the military. Initially, because of its strength, palladium was the metal jewelers used for setting diamonds.

The alloy used in designer men’s palladium wedding rings contains 95 percent palladium and 5 percent ruthenium, resulting in a very brilliant and sturdy metal that is even purer than white gold. Some important factors that set designer men’s palladium rings apart include their weight, brilliance and competitive price. Also, palladium is neither too light nor too heavy on the hand, and it has a brightness that is comparable to platinum. For men who have an allergic reaction to white gold, these men’s rings are a hypoallergenic alternative. Its natural strength allows palladium to absorb sharp blows without scratching and it won’t wear away like some softer metals will.

For men who prefer a precious metal for a wedding ring but don’t want to spend too much, designer men’s palladium rings are the perfect solution. It is just as rare and pure as platinum, but it costs significantly less because of lower demand in the marketplace. Palladium is currently selling at about one-fifth the price of platinum, but the price could go up as demand increases. This makes the selection of a palladium wedding ring a wise investment. MWR is pleased to offer a fabulous selection of designer men’s palladium wedding rings to match their customers’ individual style.

OhioHealth Selects Unidesk for 1,000 User VDI Project as Healthcare IT Turns to Desktop Layering for Physician-Friendly Application Access

February 18, 2012 cakpuad Uncategorized

OhioHealth Selects Unidesk for 1,000 User VDI Project as Healthcare IT Turns to Desktop Layering for Physician-Friendly Application Access











Unidesk layering simplifies application packaging/delivery, streamlines desktop provisioning/patching, and minimizes storage


Marlborough, Mass. (PRWEB) February 16, 2012

Award-winning healthcare provider OhioHealth of Columbus, Ohio, has selected Unidesk® as the management foundation for its 1,000-user Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). By replacing physical PCs with hosted virtual desktops that can be accessed anytime from any device, OhioHealth aims to make its core applications more accessible, even by physicians who are constantly on the move. The increased automation will improve the quality of patient care, and the movement of desktops from the edge to the data center will improve security and patient privacy. Unidesk’s role is to simplify application packaging and delivery, streamline desktop provisioning and patching, minimize storage use, and provide the “follow me”’ desktop experience that is essential for success.

OhioHealth joins a growing roster of healthcare organizations turning to Unidesk-managed VDI for physician-friendly application access and more efficient desktop provisioning. Other Unidesk customers that mark the layering leader’s expansion into the healthcare market include Cardiovascular Associates of Virginia, Lowell General Hospital, Morehead Memorial Hospital, Mount Graham Regional Medical Center, Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities, and U.S. Indian Health Service at Crownpoint Health Care Facility.

“The key to standard, high-quality healthcare is to get physicians to make more consistent use of computer systems, so we want our desktops to better suit their mobile work requirements,” said Scott Walker, Director of Technology Services at OhioHealth. “We’re known for being a progressive, wired healthcare organization, making VDI a natural way to address this. Our new virtual desktops will follow clinicians wherever they go, and enable them to immediately pick up where they left off, whether they’re accessing their desktops from a device outside a patient room, their office PC, a thin client in one of our floater offices, or even when away from the office. Unidesk is the management solution that will make VDI work for all of our employees and more importantly for our IS organization.”

Unidesk desktop layering software has become the easiest way to provision and manage applications and desktops in VDI, a critical requirement in healthcare where many applications are not easily virtualized, and desktops are configured with different applications and settings. Unidesk will enable OhioHealth to centrally package its large portfolio of clinical applications at a rate many IT administrators estimate is at least 10 times faster than using traditional application virtualization tools.

Commented Walker, “It’s just not possible to virtualize every app. We started down that path early in our VDI project, but the ROI became a challenge when it took days to package some of the more complex, legacy applications. One of the things we love about Unidesk is that the process of packaging an app is as close to a physical PC as you can get, which enables us to leverage our existing skillsets.”

Unidesk layering technology extends beyond applications to operating system (OS) gold images and user personalization as well, enabling administrators to create custom desktops that meet any end user’s needs with one solution. Because the same OS layer and application layers can be shared by some or all desktops, Unidesk reduces VDI storage capacity requirements up to 70% and simplifies patch management and application updates.

“Beyond helping us realize the mobility and security benefits of VDI, Unidesk will address our other big pain point, which is how to make the provisioning and management of our apps and desktops better,” said Walker. “Backing out a Windows hot fix on one physical PC is hard, never mind a thousand. But with Unidesk, we can just revert back to an earlier OS layer version at the click of a button. This alone sells the VDI model.”

Serving a 40-county area, OhioHealth is a family of 21,000 associates, physicians and volunteers; 18 hospitals; 23 health and surgery centers; and numerous home-health, medical equipment, and health service providers. The nationally recognized, not-for-profit healthcare organization has been named to FORTUNE magazine’s 2012 list of the nation’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” for six consecutive years and by Thomson Reuters as one of the 10 best healthcare systems in America for three straight years. Member hospitals include Riverside Methodist Hospital, Grant Medical Center, Doctors Hospital-Columbus, Grady Memorial Hospital, Dublin Methodist Hospital, Doctors Hospital-Nelsonville, Hardin Memorial Hospital and Marion General Hospital.

OhioHealth is working with Unidesk partner Mainline Information Systems as it implements its virtual desktops using Unidesk and VMware View.

“Unidesk-managed virtual desktops are a great option for healthcare organizations like OhioHealth that are looking to improve the quality of patient care, comply with HIPAA and meaningful use legislation, and streamline IT operations,” said Don Bulens, Unidesk CEO. “We look forward to helping OhioHealth make VDI successful so they can spend less time running around patching, updating, and troubleshooting desktops, and more time implementing technology that helps provide better healthcare to the OhioHealth community.”

About Unidesk

Unidesk Corporation (http://www.unidesk.com) enables customers to centralize more desktops on data center servers and cost-justify Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). Unidesk® desktop management software for VDI is the easiest way to create, patch, personalize, and support desktops and deliver applications for organizations implementing hosted virtual desktops on VMware vSphere®. By using Unidesk’s patent-pending desktop layering technology with Citrix® XenDesktop®, VMware View™ and other VDI access solutions, customers can expand VDI to more users, reduce desktop operations costs up to 30%, cut VDI storage costs up to 70%, and foster a more productive, agile workforce. Unidesk Corp. is a privately-held company with headquarters in Marlborough, Mass, USA.

Wahaka Mezcal

February 16, 2012 cakpuad Uncategorized

Wahaka Mezcal® Launches Line of Artesian, Organic Mezcales in the U.S.











Austin, TX (PRWEB) February 09, 2012

After receiving several leading spirits awards late in 2011, the makers of Austin-based Wahaka Mezcal are proud to announce that their line of organic mezcales are now available in the United States.

Using traditional distilling processes with more than 400 years of history behind them, Wahaka Mezcal is crafted by the Morales family in San Dionisio Ocotepec, in the highlands of Oaxaca, Mexico. This Zapotec family, has perfected the art of mezcal creation over five generations, and is a proud shareholder of Wahaka Mezcal. Using 100% organic, Espadín agave, Wahaka Mezcal offers an un-aged joven or blanco mezcal (Wahaka Mezcal Espadín Joven); and a reposado, it’s aged counterpart complete with the gusano worm, which has been traditionally used to add flavor to the spirit (Wahaka Mezcal Reposado con Gusano). Adding to its lineup, Wahaka Mezcal also offers Wahaka Mezcal Madre Cuishe and Wahaka Mezcal Tobalá, which are distilled from wild agave varieties found in the Oaxacan highlands and lowlands, respectively. Topping off the Wahaka Mezcal lineup is the Wahaka Mezcal Ensemble, a blend of the Espadín Joven (50%), Madre Cuishe (25%) and Tobalá (25%).

“The majority of mezcal brands available in the United States only use the Espadín, which is the most common, farmed agave; but this doesn’t fully represent the range of mezcales that have been in production for centuries. We’re one of the only distilleries that offers mezcal made not only from Espadín, but also from some of the wild agave varieties, which offer more complex flavors, and a real taste of where the agave naturally grows,” said Wahaka Mezcal co-founder, Alejandro Santa-Cruz.

Unlike its popular relative tequila, mezcal can be made from a variety of agave plants, and is indigenous to seven different states of Mexico, the most prominent being Oaxaca. The distillation process involves crushing the agave hearts using a traditional millstone, after roasting them in earthen pits – giving it its signature smoky, smooth flavor. Despite the years of history behind mezcal, the spirit is just now starting to gain popularity in the United States.

In addition to offering a variety of agaves in its product line, Wahaka Mezcal is also differentiating itself from other mezcal companies by incorporating the production process into the brand, and being one of the few fully-integrated mezcales in the market – from the agave fields all the way to the commercialization of the brand. “Unlike others who simply purchase mezcal from a 3rd party, Wahaka Mezcal is also proudly owned by the Morales family, a 5th generation Zapotec mezcalero family that produces this delicious elixir exclusively for Wahaka Mezcal,” Santa-Cruz adds.

Wahaka Mezcal is currently available at a variety of bars, restaurants and retailers in Austin, Texas – including, La Condesa, Finos, Contigo, Haddington’s, Peche, East Side Showroom, 400 Rabbits, and Iron Cactus. Outside of Texas, Wahaka Mezcal can also be found at select locations in Southern California, such as Los Angeles hotspot, Las Perlas and San Diego’s Cantina Mayahuel. The product is also available in several select locations throughout the U.S, including celebrity-chef Rick Bayless’, Frontera Grill in Chicago. In Mexico, it tops the list of mezcales at the renowned Café des Artistes in Puerto Vallarta where recently Chef Thierry announced Wahaka Mezcal as the “best mezcal in the world.” Chef Patricia Quintana’s iconic restaurant in the Districto Federal, Izote, also features Wahaka.

To compliment their debut, Wahaka Mezcal made a big splash in spirits competitions coast-to-coast, including: 5 Silver Medals at the New York International Spirits Competition, 2 Gold and 3 Silver medals at the Spirits of Mexico awards in San Diego, and 2 “Best of the Best” awards from Tequila.net.

The company plans on expanding distribution to several key markets in 2012, including Northern California, New York, Seattle, Chicago and the Washington D.C Metro Area. Moreover, Wahaka Mezcal will be competing in some high-profile spirits competitions including —the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and the Ultimate Spirits Challenge in New York.

United States Secretary of Commerce Invites Manufacturing Pioneer, Spencer Dick to Serve on Industry Trade Advisory Committee (ITAC)











Spencer Dick, President & Founder, TigerStop LLC


Vancouver, WA (PRWEB) February 14, 2012

TigerStop LLC®, the global leader in stop-gauge and linear positioning systems with locations in the United States and the Netherlands, announces the appointment of Spencer Dick to serve on the International Trade Administration’s Industry Trade Advisory Committee’s Automotive Equipment And Capital Goods (ITAC2). The committee is a “unique public-private partnership jointly managed by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Office of United States Trade Representative that engages business leaders in formulating U.S. trade policy.”

The Committee advises the Secretary and the United States Trade Representative concerning trade matters and functions solely as an advisory committee providing detailed policy and technical advice, information, and recommendations to the Secretary and the USTR regarding trade barriers, negotiation of trade agreements, and implementation of existing trade agreements affecting its sectors; and performs such other advisory functions relevant to U.S. trade policy as may be requested by the Secretary and the USTR or their designees.

“Serving on this committee gives me the opportunity to be a small voice for something I hold vitally important to the future of the U.S. economy,” said Spencer Dick, CEO of TigerStop. “A significant portion of our current crisis related to job growth and real income growth finds its roots in the dollar being the reserve currency of the world economy. If you want to buy oil or pay for imports or have a currency that will be accepted in the international market, you have to earn U.S. dollars. The low cost goods we buy from countries such as China are solely connected to earning American dollars. Our trading partners have figured out that as long as they have the same or more dollars coming into their country than they are paying out, they are ahead of the game. They are taking U.S. dollars and U.S. jobs to strengthen their economy. Our trading partners have been allowed to cheat and Americans suffer as they try to earn a living.”

While Mr. Dick’s viewpoint is not representative of those of the ITAC2 committee, he is optimistic that his 30 years of manufacturing and trade experience will offer solutions on rectifying the unfair trade practices which have damaged the U.S. middle class.

Mr. Dick’s company, TigerStop, develops products which are the gold standard for linear positioning systems and are used by woodworking manufacturers, metal, steel, and fenestration workers, welders, contractors, cabinet makers and others. The systems attach to new or existing equipment and move the stop or push the material to an exact dimension for processing. They provide solutions that eliminate set-up time, inaccuracies, excessive re-work, poor productivity, and low yield. And, with computer numerical control (CNC) technology, the TigerStop positions material to +/- 0.004” (+/- 0.1mm) with the touch of a button. With repeatable accuracy of +/- 0.004” and the upgradeable optimizing and defecting software, TigerStop products provide lean solutions to thousands of manufacturers from the smallest shop to the largest factory. TigerStop products take minutes to learn and are easy to use.
