Magic Rosin Breaks New Ground With its Professional Grade Premium Rosin for Violin, Viola, and Cello.

February 21, 2012 By tjtheper Leave a Comment


Minneapolis, Minnesota (PRWEB) December 27, 2011

Magic Rosin, a premium rosin for violin, viola and cello, returns to the market with a new formula containing only premium pine resins. The new formula was developed by professional cellist and teacher, Sarah West and is hand-poured in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Professionals and students will appreciate the clean warm sound and feel of the new Magic Rosin.

Magic Rosin applies easily and provides excellent stiction and resistance. Ms. West describes the background of Magic Rosin. ?Magic Rosin emerged, in part, as a result of my search for a grippy but not gummy rosin. I learned that many rosins contain dyes, waxes, and other fillers. I wanted to find a way to make a rosin with no ingredients other than actual rosin. Magic Rosin is made from premium rosins that have been modified and purified for other industries. I?ve been really happy about the way Magic Rosin has been recieved?

Because of the purification process of some of these rosins, Magic Rosin?s appearance is almost clear, so the Magic Rosin company is taking full-advantage, pouring the rosin on papers with different designs, bringing out holograms and sparkles, and even coins, that can be seen beneath the rosin. No sparkles or colors are in the actual rosin. Even professionals are entranced by this unusually beautiful rosin.

As Ms. West puts it, ?Somehow Magic Rosin has changed the look and feel of a 300 year old product. No longer is violin rosin a dark lump of mysterious concoction. Magic Rosin isn?t mysterious, it?s only rosin. I?m glad people think it looks cool! I come from a long line of artists so it was natural to want to put some art into the rosin. In fact some of the Magic Rosin designs are paintings by my father and grandmother.?

Magic Rosin is partnering with superstar cellist, Tina Guo for the Tina Guo line of Magic Rosin featuring images of Tina Guo and steampunk rosin designs.

The Magic Rosin company has also made donations of rosin to string programs including Quartet of Peace, Mr. Holland?s Opus Foundation and to local string programs and school programs.

Magic Rosin comes in two sizes: medium and mini. Dealer and Distributor pricing and customization is available.

For more information about Magic Rosin, please visit http://www.magicrosin.com or call 1-877-58-MAGIC for more information.

Magic Rosin is a new, professional grade rosin for violin, viola and cello. It is formulated from only premium pine rosins, with no other ingredients and was developed by professional a professional cellist. Magic Rosin comes in cool colors and designs and is customizable.

Find A Perfect Match in 2012 – South Beach Gay Matchmaker Reveals 7 Proven Secrets for Gay Men Over 40; Gay Matchmaker’s ‘Lethal’ Secret Method Gets Exposed

February 20, 2012 By tjtheper Leave a Comment


Miami, FL (PRWEB) December 27, 2011

Finding a life partner for gay men over 40 can be daunting, but a gay matchmaker from South Beach has agreed to share a secret insider recipe to find the ultimate Perfect Match.

“As a gay matchmaker, I work mostly with gay men over 40 and focus on long term, magical relationships that in my absence would never come to exist,” says Paul Angelo MHA, MBA – gay matchmaker and founder of Premier Gay Matchmaking And Coaching For Gay Men Over 40.

Angelo suggests the following 7-step secret method to a gay relationship:

1) Identity analysis including MBTI personality type, life’s values and strengths.

“Why? Because the analysis is used to create the anchor point for client’s decisions. Skipping this step is dangerous because it encourages the client to respond to others’ requests instead of focusing on what the client really wants,” says Angelo.

According to Angelo, “Without knowing his personality type, my client can be spinning in circles in his relationships, not knowing why and blaming others for mistakes and frustrations.”

2) Goal setting, life’s vision and mission.

Angelo encourages clients to share their goals during a date to evoke imagination and projected participation in client’s life. Successful men are future oriented and when a client shares his goals, the date tries to picture himself accomplishing goals together. Goal sharing can quickly move the client into the “relationship material” category.

Life’s vision and mission are equally as important.

“Here’s something you probably don’t know: On a psychological level, men are attracted to the act of doing something adventurous and being part of a team. When a client has a strong vision for his life, he creates subconscious attraction that trumps sexual compatibility. Far fetched? Not at all – but most men never tried this,” says Angelo.

In gay life coaching with Angelo, a client gets a 4 page mission/vision statement that is used for a Gay Video Profile (tool used in step 6).

3) Freedom from the past.

Most gay men over 40 carry significant pathology associated with lying, pretending and hiding. This behavior, which often was necessary because of an anti-gay environment, was the staging ground for passive aggression, denial, resignation, victim-hood and other personality-based pathologies.

“Because your past can affect you, once you let go of it – you feel incredible and your relationship potential increases tremendously. What does all this mean for you? Freedom to be who you want to be and finding your Perfect Match from that place,” explains Angelo.

During Gay Life Coaching And Matchmaking Angelo coaches his clients to create a life absent from pathology and burdens from the past.

“Being a Gay Matchmaker is not just about introducing men to each other. That’s the old model that might work for the straight community. With gay men, I need to understand their past because the past influences their relationship decisions and shapes their self-esteem,” says Angelo.

4) Perfect Match Analysis.

According to Angelo, clients need to know their perfect match in terms of physical attributes, socio-demographics characteristics and psychological personality type.

Because attraction is multi-dimensional, looking only for a physical match is a big mistake. A client needs to consider the logical and emotional compatibility as well.

“During gay matchmaking and gay life coaching, we identify your Perfect Match based on the three dimensions of attraction and then create a strategy for you to “get him”. This is the fun part,” says Angelo.

5) Strategy.

Angelo asks his clients this question: “What do you bring to the table?”

Angelo’s clients need to determine their value proposition in terms of tangible and intangible “assets” and then must wrap this value proposition in a message that offers benefits to the Perfect Match in a way he can understand.

“‘Being yourself’ will get you a boring nice guy. Adapting your message to his ‘thinking’ gets you a Perfect Match,” says Angelo.

But that’s not all.

Angelo’s matchmaking clients still need to go to places where the Perfect Match spends his time and clients need to know how to approach him. “Simple language patterns for approaching your Perfect Match are taught to you in the Gay Life Coaching Program so that you can walk up to your Perfect Match when you see him and start a conversation,” says Angelo.

6) Use Gay Video Profiles to expedite the process.

Angelo uses video and media technology to facilitate the gay matchmaking process.

“I use Gay Video Profiles service for all matchmaking campaigns. It cuts the time in half for others to get to know my clients. Clients that use GayVideoProfiles.com are blown away with responses and get access to men that previously would never give them a chance,” says Angelo.

7) Trial Dating and Analysis Of Attraction Equation.

When Angelo’s clients use video profiles, they are booked with dates for weeks until they can determine the Perfect Match Equation. This is the combination of physical/emotional/logical dimensions of attraction that fit perfectly into the client’s life. Clients can’t get this equation by only having three dates. Angelo’s client goes out with 10 different men and allows three to six months to complete this process.

“At the end of the trial period you will know exactly who you want and why. For the majority of men, they will already be seeing their Perfect Match before the end of that period and within a few weeks, they will be exchanging the “three words” and their lives will take on a new direction,” says Angelo.

So, whats the next step? Hiring a gay matchmaker can be expensive and run into tens of thousands of dollars, but for a limited time only, Paul Angelo MHA, MBA offers a $ 497 Gay Matchmaking Starter package only for gay men over 40.

If you qualify (Gay Men Over 40 Only), please visit this link:

The offer expires January 14, 2012.

About Gay Matchmaker and Relationship Coach Paul Angelo MHA,MBA:

Paul Angelo combines the knowledge of psychology, self-management, strategy, persuasion and communication to help gay men over 40 leverage relationships to live the ultimate lifestyle and live a life that is unlimited in potential.

Since starting in 2009, Angelo took on multiple clients that previously saw no hope for a relationship and within 6 months found a partner and moved in together.

By combining strategy, persuasion and psychology, Angelo helps gay men over 40 see a relationship as a sequence of steps that carry a different requirement and which can be taught to anyone who is willing to learn and change.

Those willing to learn can see a significant result just weeks from working with Paul and video testimonials to that affect are available for anyone to see on Paul’s website.

Tips to Avoid a Holiday Heart Attack

February 19, 2012 By tjtheper Leave a Comment

(PRWEB) December 26, 2011

It’s a tragic fact: heart attacks peak the day after Christmas and on New Years Day. USA Today reports that it’s a problem throughout the entire season: more people die of heart attacks in the winter than during any other time of year (http://on.wzzm.com/tmgWTM). And although doctors don’t have an exact reason for the spike, there are several theories including shorter days, colder temperatures, poorer health and more stress. Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil agrees with many of these suggestions and offers people tips for how to have a heart-healthy holiday.

First, don’t live in denial. This time of year, flu season is in full swing and people are taking on more and more responsibility. “There can be a temptation to ‘power through,’” says Dr. Bonnie, “but you might end up only hurting yourself. When people get sick around the holidays, many are likely to put off treating their illness.” Instead, Dr. Bonnie advises people at this time of year, more than ever, to take the rest they need and see a doctor if they need to. “The fallacy is thinking something will go away or that it can be dealt with after the holidays. For some, that is just too late.”

Don’t over-extend yourself. Of course, prevention is the best cure. Don’t go out in bad weather. Stay warm. Don’t do too many outdoor activities in cold temperatures and don’t stay up too late wrapping all those presents. “Basically, do all the things your mother told you to do!” reminds Dr. Bonnie. It’s important to remember to exercise and eat well, to take medication and vitamins. “These are all common sense things,” admits Dr. Bonnie, “but most people could do with an extra dose of common sense during this time of year.”

Don’t worry about ruining someone’s holiday. Putting on a brave face to ensure the perfect day can come at a great health risk. People need to remember that it’s better to insist on remaining in bed – or even going to the hospital if need be – than to push too far and end up much sicker in the long run, or suffer from a heart attack.

Eat well, but more than anything – just try to worry less! Doctors suggest that the extra sweets, salt and sugar around this time of year could contribute to more deaths. However people eat poorly year round. Of course it’s a good idea to eat as healthfully as you can but researchers suggest that stress could play more of a factor than food. People have more to think about nowadays with economic issues and financial stress so perhaps an increase in heart attacks isn’t surprising. But obsessing over the possibility of a heart attack can be dangerous and self-reinforcing.

Instead of rushing around and becoming susceptible to illness, burnout, or even a heart attack, Dr. Bonnie reminds people about the most important part of the season – spending quality time with loved ones. It doesn’t have to be perfect and people shouldn’t have to put on a brave face if they’re feeling stressed or under the weather. This is the time of year when people come together to be supportive, so Dr. Bonnie advises people utilize the extra hands as much as possible. “And if that last gift doesn’t get wrapped, so be it!”

Holiday Proof Your Marriage

February 18, 2012 By tjtheper Leave a Comment

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 26, 2011

Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil, PhD, author of Make Up Don?t Break Up, warns couples that they must ?holiday proof? their marriage and family in these economically challenging times. The tips she provides in this release can save your family from being the next peril of divorce.

?Holiday stress coupled with money anxiety is a set up for marital problems,? warns Dr. Bonnie. There is a direct correlation between stress and behavior that can be detrimental to relationships. From drinking too much, over eating, lack of sleep, and a myriad of other stress related behaviors a marriage on the brink can suffer irreparable damage.

Dr. Bonnie suggests that couples engage in activities that counteract the stresses many couples are sure to experience this holiday season. ?Kiss more, hold more, and look for activities that create playful fun that aren?t costly.? Dr. Bonnie also recommends that couples tell the truth to their extended friends, family and children about their economic situation. ?Don?t write checks you don?t have money for. Send a card with a loving sentiment instead of gifts. Friends and family will understand, and are most likely in similar economic situations.?

Another stress to marriages is unhappy kids who act out. Parents must also realize that their children feel stress, and busy parents miss the cues. ?According to a 2009 study, (http://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2009/11/stress.aspx), teens and tweens were more likely than parents to say that their stress had increased in the last year. Nearly half of the teens surveyed ages 13-17 said that they worried more this year, but only 28 percent of parents think their teen?s stress increased, and while a quarter of tweens ages 8-12 said they worried more this year, only 17 percent of parents believed their tween?s stress had increased. ?This has two implications. Children are more stressed than ever, and parents aren?t aware,? explains Dr. Bonnie

Dr. Bonnie recommends that parents have healthy and honest discussions with their children about their fears and concerns, and teach appropriate behaviors to relieve stress, like playing ball instead of video games. Physical activity releases stress, while sitting exacerbates it.

Make Up Don?t Break Up offers communication tips, and assists couples develop skills to stay together when faced with adversity and the stressors of daily life.

Frontline to Home Front: Priceless Holiday Blessings

February 18, 2012 By tjtheper Leave a Comment

(PRWEB) December 26, 2011

These stories that Dr.Bonnie Weil is sharing is of troops returning in time for the holidays will warm your heart as much as the crackling fire and roasted marshmallows!

A number of troops coming home from Iraq will be on US soil in time to ring in the new year with their families. http://wapo.st/rIWmee Says one father whose son is returning from the frontline: “Christmas will be awesome, but the best gift will be my son and his wife being here on the 29th, I would give up any present just for that. My eyes tear up thinking about the day my son will be [here], just a few days away!”

A sister whose brother is also returning from Iraq is eager and waiting to welcome him home: “My brother is on his way home from Iraq, I just got the message. I am so excited and blessed, I cant wait to see and hug him. This is going to be an amazing holiday!”

Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil offers up some suggestions for helping families assimilate their loved ones back into life in the States. Some troops that come home will be leaving behind friends and fellow soldiers that didn’t make it, so the holidays are an extremely important time for families to assist a survivor in understanding that it is ok to feel good. “Due to the survivor guilt they may be disconnected and distant towards family/friends and find it hard to warm up to people and they may appear a little ‘Scroog-y’.” Help them understand they should reach out and get the proper treatment, suggests Dr. Bonnie. “Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself,” Dr. Bonnie tells her patients and sufferers of PTSD/Survivor Guilt.

A recent USA Today article revealed Marine Corps findings on a study they did regarding PTSD with 2,600 Marines and sailors examined before and after combat tours. Following their combat tour, nearly seven percent showed signs of PTSD. The Department of Veterans Affairs says out of all the servicemembers that have served in Iraq and Afghanistan, nearly half have been diagnosed with mental issues, most commonly PTSD. According to the USA Today article, survivors have to find a way to forgive themselves for pulling the trigger. (http://www.usatoday.com/news/military/story/2011-11-23/study-of-marines-ptsd/51386488/1) “It is important for the survivor to understand it is not the bad they did, but the good that they did it for. They did not purposely mean to harm, they did it to protect themselves or to serve their country which is very honorable,” believes Dr. Bonnie. When a person is showing signs of PTSD, Dr Bonnie recommends that the other spouse take on the daily tasks of kids, financial issues, dinner and so forth to help the sufferer relax and cope.

Additionally, studies have shows that married troops may actually have a more difficult time returning to life at home – especially if they’re getting out of the military and being sent back on short notice when their families may not have had time to prepare. A Pew Research Survey found that chances of an “easy exit from the military dropped from 63 percent for single troops to 48 percent for married troops.” (http://1.usa.gov/vHZPn6) The military divorce rate hit 3.7 percent this year, which is the highest level since 1999, according to USA Today (http://usat.ly/tWh7mx).

Many families are poised to have a truly happy holiday, with their loved ones back in their homes – but it’s also a time to be sensitive to what they’ve gone through, reminds Dr. Bonnie. “Don’t ask too many questions; let them share what they want to share on their own terms. And give them the time and space they need to re-assimilate so they feel comfortable opening up and asking for help as they need it.”

Get Camera-Ready for the Holidays: 6 Tips for Great Photos

February 17, 2012 By tjtheper Leave a Comment


Valley View, OH (PRWEB) December 24, 2011

Family and friends are gathered. The magic is happening. Whether you?re shooting video or stills, be ready to capture the memories with these photography tips from Nanofilm.

1. Step one: is your camera lens clean? A smudge of cookie icing or a wayward fingerprint can ruin the moment. Remember, that smear may not show up on the display screen and you won?t know you have a problem until it?s too late. Clarity Lens Care is preferred by many professional videographers and photographers for safe, effective cleaning.

2. Closer, closer, closer. Wide shots capture the scene, but not the moment. Move in close to see faces and eyes, and you have something unforgettable. Even if you?re shooting scenery like greener or snowmen, the details of a close-up will be more compelling.

3. Change your perspective. Normally, it?s best to be on eye level with a subject. (Yes, get down on your hands and knees to shoot children and animals.) But for a different effect, think about a new angle: a tiny child peering up, a friend gazing off, a peek out the window to a gathering below.

4. Shoot candid, shoot often. Portraits can be wonderful, but trying to get a whole gang to stand still and smile can sacrifice personality. Try strolling through the kitchen while the chefs are making cookies. Snap the kids playing with new toys instead of holding them up for the camera. Shooting video? Carol singing is a movie with its own beautiful soundtrack.

5. Go outside and play. Sledding and snowmen or walk in the woods is the beginning of great memories. Don?t worry about cold weather fogging your camera lens. Just apply an anti fog treatment like Defog It anti fog, the one professionals use.

6. Watch the background. A cluttered background takes away from your main subject. You don?t want a decorated tree growing out of someone?s head or the muddle of the family room furniture overwhelming your heroes.

Clarity lens care products and Defog It anti fog are specially formulated for precision optics by Nanofilm and are proven safe and effective on all lens types. They?re available in liquid and convenient towelettes.

Nanofilm(http://www.nanofilmproducts.com), founded in 1985, is a global optical leader in lens care and coatings. Millions of people around the world use Nanofilm products, including Clarity Clean It?, Clarity Defog It? anti fog and other lens care products, as well as nanotechnology-enabled coatings.

Get Ready for 2012 with Cheetah Learning?s Free ?Believe In Yourself? Worksheet

February 15, 2012 By tjtheper Leave a Comment

Tallahassee, FL (PRWEB) December 22, 2011

A decade ago Tom Brady led the New England Patriots to their first Super Bowl win. It should be noted that Brady had been the 199th pick in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL draft and that in his first year as a professional he was the fourth quarterback on a four-man roster, hardly an endorsement of his capabilities.

But Brady believed in himself because he had a solid estimation of his skills and talents.

According to the Project Management Professionals (PMPs) at Cheetah Learning (http://www.CheetahLearning.com) believing in yourself begins with taking inventory of what you?ve accomplished and evaluating that inventory empirically and objectively.

The result: An understated confidence and a relaxed concentration that naturally comes across to others.

In a recent documentary, Patriots? owner Robert Kraft shared this story: ?This skinny, beanpole of a young man walked over to me and said, ?Hi, Mr. Kraft. I wanna introduce myself. I’m Tom Brady.? I said, ?I know who you are. You’re our sixth-round draft choice.? And I?ll always remember, he looked at me like a laser, eye-to-eye, and he said, ‘That’s right, and I’m the best decision this organization has ever made?.?

Brady went on to become the only quarterback to start and win three Super Bowls before his 28th birthday.

?Believing in yourself begins with taking inventory of what you?ve accomplished and looking at those accomplishments and the people who are connected to them,? said Michelle LaBrosse, CEO and founder of Cheetah Learning, adding that ?You can turn any bad situation into a good one, to put you back out leading the pack. Cheetah Learning can help.?

LaBrosse should know: As a single mother of two, she believed in herself enough to start Cheetah Learning from scratch and grow it into a multi-million dollar power house in the Project Management education field, a competitive arena with 1,600 providers who are registered with the Project Management Institute (PMI).

PMI recognized what LaBrosse and Cheetah exemplified, selecting her as one of the 25 Most Influential Women in Project Management in the World; and, in October 2008, recognizing her company as Professional Development Provider of the Year for the significant contribution it made with its accelerated approach to teaching and doing project management.

To help encourage others to follow her lead, LaBrosse recently shared a link to the ?Believe In Yourself? worksheet, which can be found at http://Blog.CheetahLearning.com by clicking on the headline: ?40 PDUs for $ 400 ? Believe in Yourself Today!? The worksheet is an easy-to-use tool for helping professionals prepare themselves mentally for the New Year ahead.

In addition to the blog, LaBrosse offers timely insights regarding ?The Cheetah Way,? Project Management done correctly, at http://www.CheetahLearning.com/press.asp#KHN ? a compilation of current and archived ?Know How Network? columns. Plus, she is the author of ?Cheetah Negotiations,? ?Cheetah Project Management? and ?Cheetah Know How,? all of which are available at http://www.CheetahStore.com.

Cheetah also offers a variety of Tips, Tools and Deals that can be accessed by filling out the online form at http://www.CheetahLearning.com. Offerings include the PMP Exam Prep SmartStart Guide, PMP Practice Exam, 2 PDU Skills Assessment Course, and the Getting Started with PM Guide, along with ?great deals? on Professional Development Units (PDUs).

?Believe In Yourself? is part of the effort by the PMPs at Cheetah Learning to ?Reduce Workplace Conflict.? The worksheet helps individuals answer what is perhaps the most important question of all: ?If you don?t believe in yourself, how will anyone else??

Disney World Planning Website yourfirstvisit.net Continues to Gain Accolades

February 14, 2012 By tjtheper Leave a Comment

Rocky River, Ohio (PRWEB) December 21, 2011

The Walt Disney World Instruction Manual at http://yourfirstvisit.net has been added to the list of 20 or so recommended sites in the recently published book, The Complete Walt Disney World 2012.

Julie Neal, author of this award winning book, says that http://yourfirstvisit.net contains ?insightful, no-nonsense advice for both novice and repeat visitors? to Walt Disney World.

The Disney World planning website yourfirstvisit.net earlier this year also received high praise from Lee Cockerell, Disney?s former Executive Vice President in charge of operations at Disney World?s theme parks and resort hotels.

He said that http://yourfirstvisit.net is ?highly recommended, and astonishingly helpful in ensuring both first time and repeat visitors have a magical visit to Walt Disney World.?

The site http://yourfirstvisit.net is the only website designed solely for first time visitors to Walt Disney World. It gives them exact instructions, but if they can?t follow these instructions, it gives next best options.

For these first time visitors, it has precise advice for making a first family visit to such a complicated place as good as it can be. In addition to when to go, and how long in advance plans need to be made, instructions include how long to stay, how old and tall children should be, where to stay, what to budget, how to eat, where to eat, itineraries for every day of a stay, and a to-do list.

Families that can follow its advice to the letter will be done with their planning after reading just 400 words on the home page.

Moreover, for families that can’t follow its exact advice, the site includes their next best options. For example, if a family simply can’t follow its advice on when to go, the site ranks every week of 2012 (and 2013!) in order, based on whether or not rides are open, weather, typical crowd levels, and prices. Families can simply go down the list of ranked weeks until they find the one that works for them.

The site http://yourfirstvisit.net, called ?the most valuable Disney World site on the web? by one of its readers, had its millionth visitor in late 2011, and more than 90,000 people have visited it five times or more.

David Hobart, the site?s author, says that he is honored to be included in The Complete Walt Disney World 2012. ?That?s a great guidebook, and the other sites on Julie Neal?s list are amazingly good. It?s humbling to be included on that list,? he said.
