JBL Innovations Introduces Inexpensive Contraption That May Help Save Marriages

Monday, October 12th, 2009

PAHRUMP, Nev., Nov. 11 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — A new device from JBL Innovations called the Wallmarker (Wallmarker.net) may be the answer for couples who cannot hang pictures without arguing or calling a handyman. For couples who are not handy, just hanging a picture may require help from a handyman. Not anymore. A new, inexpensive product called The Wallmarker makes it easy for anyone to hang pictures straight every time.

Rebecca Smith from Arkansas was filled with angst because she and her husband were about to re-hang pictures. Work around the house did not come naturally for either of them. Then she found the Wallmarker. “This could be a marriage-saver,” she says.

The hardest part about hanging a picture is figuring out where to hammer the nail. And the Wallmarker, a new tool from inventor Jeff Lombardo, makes it easy to figure that out. “WallMarker almost makes it fun to hang a picture,” says Lombardo.

The WallMarker is a piece of chalk shaped like an arrow that has adhesive on one side. It sticks to the back of the picture at the center, to allow the picture to be positioned and eyeballed. When the position is right, the picture can be pushed against the wall to create a chalk mark. That’s the spot where the nail goes.

And the job’s done.

The WallMarker eliminates the need for meticulous measuring and guesswork while hanging pictures.

“If you make a mistake the chalk will easily wipe off the wall and there are no holes to hide,” says Lombardo.

The WallMarker can be used over and over.

To find out more about the WallMarker, please visit www.wallmarker.net.

About Wallmarker: The WallMarker is a piece of chalk shaped like an arrow that has an adhesive side designed to make hanging a picture. Pictures can be easily eyeballed and marked without the need for measuring or multiple nail holes.

Interview Requests: Jeff Lombardo is available for television, radio or newspaper interviews.

BMD Modern Hoods: The Next Generation in Kitchen Ventilation

Monday, October 5th, 2009

They are not just another pretty face. BMD Modern Hoods announces their new line of contemporary kitchen range hoods – designed for residential use, but with commercial grade performance. With a powerful and sleek design, these kitchen range hoods deliver more than just visually stimulating designs, they deliver high functionality and quality performance.

“While there are other high-end hood companies out there,” Brian Mayer, CEO and head designer of BMD Modern Hoods, says, “no one can compete with our price point, delivery time or performance.”

Mayer started BMD Modern Hoods out of necessity. An interior designer for kitchens and baths, he was working with a client who was looking for something new and different. Mayer searched on the Internet and could not find anything that was suitable. This prompted him to create his own line of residential hoods with commercial grade performance.

“I found sleek designs on the Internet, but they had minimal power packages,” he explains.

Power packages refer to cubic feet per minute (CFM) of exhausting airflow; the higher the number, the greater the amount of air that is exhausted using the range hood.

The National Kitchen and Bath Association recommends a minimum of 150 CFM for all cooking appliances. However, modern cooktops produce ever-increasing amounts of heat and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and quite often a much more powerful blower is called for.

So, while conventional residential ranges require 150 to 1000 CFM of ventilation, professional cooktops and ranges, with their increased heat and grease output, typically call for 1000 to 1400 CFM of ventilation power.

The current models being offered at BMD Modern Hoods have a CFM output of 1200. They are stainless steel construction with a brushed finish. Alternative finishes and custom options are also available.

“Our focus is on combining esthetics with function,” Mayer says. “They are showpieces that work.”

BMD Modern Hoods is also able to provide a better lead time and price point than its competitors.

Most hoods of this quality, if you can find them, would be approximately $8,000 with a six to eight week delivery time. However, the hoods at BMD Modern Hoods start at about $5,700 with a lead time of three weeks. The company attributes this to their current manufacturer – they do not inflate prices and they are proud of their quality and workmanship. They are vested in delivering a high-end product at a fair price.

About BMD Modern Hoods

Founded in 2004, the company was formed in response to meet the need for a fresh design approach. Their philosophy is that no client should be forced to choose between power and quality or elegant design and beauty; they should have the option to combine both. Currently, there are nine model choices with more expected in the future.

President-Elect Obama’s Message of Believe in Yourself Resonates in New and Unique Room Decor for Children

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

President-Elect Obama speaks of “Change” and today more than ever our economy, and overwhelmed and stressful lives, need change. With determination Obama made history, being the first President-Elected African American, making what once seemed impossible possible. His powerful message of “Believe in yourself” and “Change” resonates in new and unique room decor called Motivating Decor (www.motivatingdecor.com), whose mission is to help children live their best life into adulthood.

“Today children are growing up fast and need the wisdom to have a successful life. What would be a better gift than to surround children with a nurturing and uplifting atmosphere of good words and good thoughts to help promote a good foundation and counteract some of the world’s negative input, negative influences and stresses,” says Bea Holley one of Motivating Decor’s designers.

One never out grows the uniqueness because it is not based on TV or movie-pushed characters but real character traits that positively change lives with empowering words; such as you are special, patience, peace, faith, you can do it, be thankful, forgive, joy, respect, and many more enriching words and beautiful artwork that draws attention and nurtures each child’s imagination. In addition, incorporated into the designs are the six pillars of character, which are the core ethical values from the foundation of the Josephson Institute of Ethics Character Counts; that is utilized in schools throughout the United States.

Psychiatrists say 40 percent of happiness is formed in childhood, what we experience, how we view our experiences, what we do and how we think about what happened. Motivating Decor helps to stimulate happiness.

Motivating Decor is great for children of all ages, reasonably priced and is excellent for bedrooms, classrooms, child care centers and pediatric offices for daily input of love, joy and peace. Presently the three motivational and inspirational collections consist of wall borders, photo frames, large colorful ceiling mobiles, growth charts and posters which we will continue to improve and expand. There is something for everyone.

Motivating Decor desires to collaborate with a partner who will help expand their wonderful line of room decor collections to include matching bedding, lamps, pop-up hampers, wallies and more — as seen on the Motivating Decor website — and make them available in retail outlets for easier accessibility for everyone.

Let’s give children the winning edge and a new beginning. To obtain Motivating Decor please visit www.motivatingdecor.com.
