Foreclosure Crisis Threatens Potential Home Renters But One New Web Site Offers Protection

Many looking for rental homes risk costly problems and future evictions without realizing it, but CheckForForeclosure.com has an easy solution.

Los Angeles, CA - June 28, 2008 -- Alarming numbers of would-be home renters sign expensive leases and rental agreements not knowing that the homes they are about to rent are already in foreclosure. Fortunately, people who are searching the classifieds for a rental home can take advantage of a new service and Web site - CheckForForeclosure.com, Giving Renters the Notice they Need (http://www.CheckForForeclosure.com) - that provides access to inside information about potential landlords and lets would-be renters know if they are about to walk into a trap.

The newest tragic twist in the nationwide mortgage and housing crisis is creating havoc and distress for many unwary consumers. Very few people who shop for a rental home are even aware of the growing problem, and fewer still know how to protect themselves from signing up for a disaster when they go out to look for a rented or leased home, condo, or apartment. In some cases those who sign new leases are evicted within days of moving into a home or apartment - without refunds of payments or deposits.

CheckForForeclosure.com was created by knowledgeable real estate industry professionals to specifically address the needs of consumers who might otherwise become ensnared in the renters in foreclosure crisis. Some classified ad pages in foreclosure-prone cities are riddled with listings for rentals that are - although innocent consumers do not realize it - about to be repossessed by banks and mortgage companies. Unless someone shopping for an apartment or home rental has the ability to look beyond the advertising hype and spin and find out which rentals are dangerous, there is no way to pick the winners from the losers. Looking for a rental becomes a game of Russian roulette unless consumers take steps to get the information they need to make safe and informed choices.

Bankers and landlords are not required by law to disclose an imminent foreclosure to a renter, and real estate laws generally protect landlords and lenders while offering little help for victimized renters. That leaves renters to fend for themselves, so taking the time and making the effort to investigate the foreclosure filing status (http://www.CheckForForeclosure.com) of a potential rental property is a wise investment and a good insurance policy against foreclosure rental headaches and heartaches. In today's treacherous housing environment, it pays to take full advantage of services like those offered by CheckForForeclosure.com to ensure peace of mind for one's family.

NBC Reminded That In Web 2.0, News Won't Keep  

By Wendy Davis, Monday, June 23, 2008
An employee of the Internet Broadcasting Services was fired for posting news of Tim Russert's death to Wikipedia before NBC had officially announced it, today's New York Times reports.

NBC held off on the announcement for two hours, to reach Russert's family before the news spread. But news in the Internet era just doesn't keep that long.

A "junior-level employee" at IBS, which provides online services to local NBC affiliates, updated Russert's Wikipedia page 40 minutes before NBC made its statement, according to the Times.

If anyone should know by now how fast news travels in the Internet era, it's another media company like NBC. But it seems that NBC, much like The Associated Press and other old-media businesses, hasn't yet grasped that news is no longer published in a top-down manner.

Thanks to the growth of social sites like Wikipedia, Digg and Drudge Retort (a parody of the Drudge Report) anyone with a computer can now reach millions of readers instantaneously. Unlike even five years ago, it isn't necessary to have your own blog, with an audience of influential readers, to spread news.

Yet, old media still appears convinced it can control when news is released, or in the case of the AP, how online writers can quote from its articles. Last week, the AP roiled the blogosphere by saying it was going to issue "guidelines" spelling out the proper use of its material by online journalists -- never mind that people already have the right to make "fair use" of others' content.

Just as one company doesn't get to dictate "fair use," neither can one news organization determine when news will break -- at least not as long as there are sites like Wikipedia

Have you ever registered a domain name from GoDaddy or Register.com with the intent on building a website? Chances are that you never found the time or money to actually make that website a reality. A new company out of Seattle is looking to change what you do with your registered domain. EVO Landing ('EVO') has announced the release of its domain development platform, which aims to create value and traffic for your domain while making you money.

Seattle, WA,  -  January 25 -- (Announced at DomainFEST Hollywood) Have you ever registered a domain name from GoDaddy or Register.com with the intent on building a website? Chances are that you never found the time or money to actually make that website a reality. A new company out of Seattle is looking to change what you do with your registered domain. EVO Landing ('EVO') has announced the release of its domain development platform, which aims to create value and traffic for your domain while making you money.

With the EVO platform, domain owners are now able to instantly create dynamic websites comprised of media-rich, relevant content based on the value of the domain name. Whereas traditional "parked" pages generally rely on transient traffic typed into a browser's URL bar, sites on the EVO platform grow organically as web users can find the sites via search engines, recommend the site to friends, engage with the site's content, and return daily to find fresh content.

"The Internet has evolved, but the domain industry has yet to really make the leap to Web 2.0." says CEO, Geoffrey Nuval, "A domain like Stocktrades.com would be more appropriate as an informational website whereas ChefGrill.com would probably make more sense as a storefront," explains Geoffrey, "To create the depth in content for each module, we have inked special partnerships with various niche sites, including Shopping.com, Epinions, Software.com, Podcast.com, PredictAd, Shareapic, and Wishpot, … even more deals are in the works as we expand across the long tail."

Rather than employ a one-size-fits-all template, EVO's modular-based approach enables sites to be directly tailored to a specific domain name.

According to CTO Daniel Rust, "The EVO platform bridges the gap by bringing together advanced integration and analytics technologies and boiling it down into a simple to use system. Our technology semantically analyzes the domain name to determine what type of site it should be, as well as identifies new niche markets to insure optimal monetization and relevance of all the sites."

The Company received initial funding from Seattle angel investors in November 2007 and then closed its Series A round in December 2007 with Monster Venture Partners ('MVP'). "My investment in EVO Landing weighed heavily upon the fact that they were able to prove out the revenue model." says Robert Monster, Managing Director of MVP and Partner at the Internet Real Estate Group ('IREG'), "For my own due diligence, I moved a number of domains from a reputable traditional parking solution onto their system and within forty-five days I saw a 5x increase in traffic and 3x increase in revenues. I have since moved my entire portfolio onto their system."

The Company has already achieved considerable growth during its beta phase. "Within our two and-a-half months in beta, we have grown our network to over 10,000 sites with no two sites alike." says SVP Sales & Strategic Marketing, Mark Michael, "Our admissions analytics system is pretty strict because we want to keep the quality of the websites on our network high - less than 15% of submitted names have been accepted onto the system."

About EVO Landing
EVO Landing ('EVO') is a next-generation domain monetization platform built around its ability to instantly generate topic-relevant, media-rich websites. EVO is a limited liability corporation (LLC) based in Seattle, WA and was founded in October 2007 after months of dedicated research and years of Internet site design and search engine optimization experience.

EVO's proprietary technology is a web-based software and methodology that harnesses the power of the semantic web. Using a modular-based architecture, every site managed through EVO Landing is updated dynamically, daily, and automatically with relevant, rich-media (articles, listings, products, photos, videos, downloads). Domain names can now be truly regarded as online investments as they enjoy the added monetary benefits of multiple ad-network integration, multiple affiliate program integration, and exclusive partnerships.

For more information, please visit www.evolanding.com or read the Company blog at www.landingevo.com.

About Monster Venture Partners
Monster Venture Partners ('MVP') is a new breed of early-stage venture capital firm based in Seattle. MVP's investment philosophy is to engage in a genuine hands-on partnership with founders to jointly create value for all stakeholders. For larger opportunities, MVP co-invests with leading investors from around the world, selecting from a universe of like-minded investors who are able to add strategic value.

During the holiday season the search engine giant Google added a Shopping tab to its homepage, a tab which directly links to its on-line product catalog called Product Search. FastCommerce, a small business enterprise e-commerce provider, recently announced the successful launch of its automated submission service to Google Shopping. Submission to Google is also available with the free version of FastCommerce. The results have been remarkable. By simply signing up for the free version of FastCommerce and creating a product catalog, the on-line retailer starts selling right away.

San Mateo, CA  -  March 25, 2008 -- For small business on-line retailers, an e-commerce solution that quickly produces results is essential to survival. That is why FastCommerce recently launched a product submission service to Google Shopping; also known as Google Product Search. Google has built the equivalent of an on-line product catalog that is tied in with its popular search site. On-line retailers can post products to the Google catalog, and even sell directly through the service via Google Check-out. Google's popularity coupled with the recent addition of its new Shopping tab on the Google homepage, has the effect of driving targeted searches for product directly through Google Shopping. With Google Shopping, shoppers can view multiple listings for a given product and either purchase directly on Google, or proceed directly to the merchant own web store.

Submitting to Google Product Search costs the on-line retailer nothing; unlike EBay, there are no fees for posting an unlimited number of products. This is a tremendous competitive edge for small business e-commerce start-ups that cannot afford the sometimes prohibitive cost of running a business exclusively on EBay. Rather than having the merchant manually submit products one by one, FastCommerce automatically submits the whole of a merchant's on-line product catalog to Google Product Search. In providing this level of service, FastCommerce is focused on the success of its clients in an increasingly sophisticated and competitive on-line retail universe.

Google Product Search consistently generates a high volume of sales and sales inquiries for FastCommerce merchants. Having the whole of a merchant's on-line product catalog published on Google Shopping is nothing less than a major marketing tool for small business on-line retailers. It is a service that Google offers for free. This is even more remarkable given that the FastCommerce small business e-commerce platform is entirely free for the first fifty products. A small business or an individual entrepreneur can sign up for the free version of FastCommerce, build a professional and attractive web store, and post up to fifty products for free. The free version gives them access to almost the whole of the FastCommerce platform: simply signing up automatically generates a professional website and back office tools to manage their business. Merchants then see an immediate effect in having their products automatically listed to Google's Product Search.

FastCommerce is a web-based e-commerce application that lets small business start, grow and then manage their business on-line, all from one single system. Small business entrepreneurs gain access to a professional, fully operable e-commerce website, as well as a full suite of back-office management tools needed to run a business on-line. It is completely free to the first fifty products. The addition of Google Shopping to the free version is a very powerful tool: a small business can make the move to e-commerce with immediate results. The clients are then free to sign up for additional services when they are ready.

FastCommerce.com also announced the launch of a Professional services division, designed for established businesses looking to make the leap into e-commerce while avoiding the hefty expense of project implementation and costly technology. Small businesses with large product catalogs face tremendous hurdles when looking to go into on-line sales. Such a move has traditionally involves licensing e-commerce technologies, and then expending additional funds for implementation. The FastCommerce Professional Services team brings years of experience and its Web 2.0 technology platform to get companies up and running in days instead of months. There is no contract. For a small set up fee, small businesses get a fully operable e-commerce web-site with their products pre-installed. FastCommerce drives down the cost to a fraction of most e-commerce technology platforms. There are additional services for submitting to over 100 search engines, directories, as well as keyword consultation and continuous updates.

About FastCommerce.com

FastCommerce.com is a Web 2.0 technology platform that changes the way entrepreneurs can succeed in on-line sales. It has been designed to automate all the initial hurdles of beginning a web business and managing it, all from one single system. Far from being a simple shopping cart technology, FastCommerce Small Business e-Commerce technology is enterprise in scope with the goal of letting small companies and entrepreneurs run all aspects of their business from a fully integrated single system. It is affordable small business enterprise e-commerce at a small business price.

Creating a Staycation Retreat in Your Own Backyard

In tough economic times, homeowners are planning at-home vacations
Home & Garden III

ROSEVILLE, Minn.-- June 12, 2008 --From rising airfares and gasoline prices, to the hassle and stress of travel itself, there are a number of factors driving the ideal vacation spot closer to home.

In fact, many homeowners are opting to create a vacation spot in their own backyard. Dubbed a "staycation," this at-home retreat is characterized by finding rest, relaxation and the amenities of a vacation in the comfort of one's home.

"Whether the reason is to save money or avoid the hassle of traveling, vacationing at home allows for enjoyable time off without unnecessary worry," said Michelle Sahlin, managing director, Professional Awning Manufacturers Association (PAMA). "By planning ahead and creating an outdoor living room, homeowners don't need to travel around the world to get rest and relaxation."

Vacations often lead to visions of sitting under a canopy or awning, drinking a glass of lemonade and enjoying beautiful scenery or landscape. Another vision is spending time with family, playing games and enjoying a few good meals. Whether vacationers opt for tranquility or activity, it can be achieved with a staycation.

Just like a vacation, a staycation requires some preparation. Here are some items to consider prior to the time off:

    * Establish the official staycation timeline: To avoid falling into the daily routine around the house, create a start and end date to the staycation so it is a true vacation.

    * Brighten the landscape: A freshly mowed lawn and flowers in bloom brighten any backyard. Plant a variety of flowers, update the landscape and incorporate a waterfall, fountain or focal point.

    * Create an outdoor living room or kitchen: Extending outdoor living is one of the latest trends. And there's no better time to have the new outdoor living room ready in time for enjoyable summer weather. By adding an awning or canopy over a deck or patio, the living space is versatile in a variety of weather conditions. A grill, cozy furniture, speakers and ambient lighting can also compliment the area.

    * Stock up on games: From bocce ball and croquet to badminton and horseshoes, there are plenty of backyard games well-suited for family and friends. A game of cards or board games also make for more low-key activities.

    * Find a good book: Grab a few good reads - a newly released book, a classic tale and a few favorite magazines.

    * Plan a luau: Just because a flight to Hawaii is out of the picture for now, it doesn't mean a luau can't take place. Grab all the essentials - leis, tiki torches, pineapple, mango, a roast and Hawaiian music. Preparing for the evening ahead of time allows for easy implementation and enjoyment during the staycation.

    * Plan a real vacation: After the staycation is complete, it's time to plan a real vacation, away from home. Determine ways to save and budget for a future getaway after enjoying the comforts of home.

About PAMA

The Professional Awning Manufacturers Association (PAMA), a division of the Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI), is the only international trade association committed to the awning industry. PAMA membership is open to companies who are current members of IFAI and manufacture or sell awnings, as well as those who supply goods/services to the awning industry.

PAMA maintains two Web sites - www.awninginfo.com, which focuses on association members and commercial awning use, and www.awningstoday.com, which educates consumers about awnings and awning benefits.

Veteran divorce attorney Robert Busch has just released, "How To Win Your California Divorce, The Beginner's Guide", a 73 page book written for California residents who are considering divorce and know little, if anything, about California divorce law.

Sacramento, California  -  April 3, 2008 — Veteran divorce attorney Robert Busch has just released, "www.californiadivorcetips.com [How To Win Your California Divorce, The Beginner's Guide", a 73 page book written for California residents who are considering divorce and know little, if anything, about California divorce law.

After consulting with thousands of men and women, the author became frustrated with the lack of easy-to-understand basic information on the divorce process in California. Many of the books on divorce are outdated, many are written by attorneys who have never practiced law in California, and some are crammed full of information the typical reader doesn't need.    

Divorce law is neither simple or easy. Whether or not lawyers are involved, there is critical information people must know if they have any hope of getting a fair settlement or favorable court ruling, should the matter go to court. Relying solely on attorneys is usually a big mistake.

Anyone hoping to win their divorce must be prepared. How To Win Your California Divorce, The Beginner's Guide, provides the reader with almost 17 years of lessons, strategies, tactics and checklists to help the reader get everything she is entitled to under California law.

How To Win Your California Divorce, The Beginner's Guide, also provides important information about preparing and filing the initial paperwork. Doing this wrong can result in the loss of significant property and/or support rights.

Three easy-to-use checklists included in How To Win Your California Divorce, The Beginner's Guide, are designed to help the reader remember the important information needed to get the best results in their divorce.

For additional information on How To Win Your California Divorce, The Beginner's Guide, contact Robert Busch or visit www.californiadivorcetips.com.         

About Robert Busch: A practicing attorney since 1986, Robert Busch earned his B.A. from the University of California, Davis, and his law degree from McGeorge School of Law, University of Pacific.

Canterbury Park and Red Development Announce Plans to Bring Destination Retail to Canterbury Park

The proposed development would enhance the entire Canterbury experience

SHAKOPEE, Minn.-- June 05, 2008 --Canterbury Park Holding Corporation (AMEX:ECP) today announced that it has entered into a letter of intent with RED Development, LLC, a Kansas City based retail developer, to be its exclusive partner in a proposed retail and entertainment development on part of the Company's property in Shakopee, Minnesota. The goal of the proposed development is to build upon Canterbury Park's position as one of Minnesota's best known entertainment venues to create a dynamic, multi-faceted retail and entertainment destination in one of the fastest growing areas of the country.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company and RED will jointly determine the feasibility of a master-planned retail, entertainment and mixed-use development. The proposed development will be integrated into the existing Racetrack and Card Club property to expand dining, shopping and retail opportunities to visitors of the park, as well as provide entertainment options to visitors of the new destination development. It is expected that the proposed development will be conducted in phases and will be located on land that is currently unused or underutilized.

Before construction of the project can begin, a number of conditions must be satisfied, including development of a mutually agreeable master plan, signing of definitive agreements between Canterbury Park and RED related to the proposed development, input from and approval by the City of Shakopee and Scott County, approval by the Minnesota Racing Commission, and arranging financing for the project.

RED Development has successfully developed other similar projects in the area. In 2003, they opened The Shoppes at Arbor Lakes, a 400,000 square foot lifestyle center in Maple Grove, MN. Not far away, on the east side of St. Paul, the 398,000 square foot Woodbury Lakes was opened in 2005. Both of these projects were done in partnership with Opus Development. Also among RED's more than 30 projects is The Legends at Village West located in Kansas City, Kansas. The Legends combines almost 1.5 million square feet of retail and entertainment and has attracted a great deal of national acclaim.

"We could not be more thrilled about this partnership," said Randy Sampson, President and CEO of Canterbury Park, "RED's experience in creating dynamic destination developments like the Legends project in Kansas City make them a perfect partner for us."

Steve Graham, Vice President of Destination Development for RED also commented: "We look forward to working with Canterbury Park, as well as the City of Shakopee and Scott County, to design a project that will be a first class asset to the City of Shakopee and a magnet for visitors to the region." Mr. Graham added, "Canterbury Park is such a quality facility, we believe it will provide an excellent spring board for retail, entertainment and other features that will increase the importance of Canterbury Park to the Shakopee community and the surrounding area."

SKOKIE, Ill. & MINNEAPOLIS-- June 02, 2008 --PayNet, Inc. and Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE:FIC) today announced the launch of the new SBSS PayNet 1.0 scoring models. This model suite combines PayNet's powerful commercial database with Fair Isaac's statistical and analytical expertise. Fourteen of the 20 models support term loan/line of credit lending and six models support leasing.

The scores are available through the latest release of LiquidCredit® service 6.6.1 from Fair Isaac.

Tom Ware, PayNet's Senior Vice President of Analytics & Product Development, added "We have heard for a long time that both banks and finance companies wanted a comprehensive scoring solution based on 'comparable' term credit data, rather than just on trade data, and that they wanted it as part of the time-tested and trusted Fair Isaac SBSS model suite, so that it can be used immediately. This new release of SBSS now provides banks and finance companies with this more powerful solution."

FindMyBargains.com is a new full service bargain site that provides tools to help bargain shoppers easily find great deals online. They deal with the aggravation and you save time and money. Subscribe to the Bargain Hunter emails, see the deals of the day, shop their selected discount stores, do price comparisons or use their free personal shopping service. Saving money has never been so easy!

Mount Laurel, NJ  -  March 13, 2008 -- Every one is looking to save some extra money. Bargain shoppers know it takes a lot of time to find great deals online. Now The Bargain Hunter at findmybargains.com offers a full service, simply designed website that helps shoppers easily save money. They deliver a free service that saves shoppers the time of hunting through emails and searching online stores to find great deals. Shoppers can register with The Bargain Hunter in the shopping category or categories of their choice such as items for men, women or children, items for the home, electronics or tools and gadgets and start receiving weekly emails of the best bargains found online. Typically the deals found are highly rated and save the consumer 40 to 80% off the retail price. Visitors can also use the site to do price comparisons, search the bargain archives, find daily deals or submit a free personal shopping request.

Says Debra, an avid online shopper who registered with FindMyBargains, "I was impressed by the quality of selections and the helpful comments. The Bargain Hunter found me a great deal on a digital camera. It had a high consumer rating and saved me 50%! I don't know how long it would have taken me to find this bargain myself. They even let you know of other discounts available, like coupon codes and free shipping. What a great service!".

FindMyBargains was developed by Dolores Curley, an expert online shopper, who knows the best stores on the web and the ways to find the best bargains. "It takes a lot of time to find great deals. As a shopper myself I didn't always have the time and was looking for a better way to shop online. I was getting so many emails from all of the stores I had visited that it was getting ridiculous. I just couldn't keep up with all of the "secret sales" that were announced! That's when I came up with the idea of the Bargain Hunter. Now there is an easy way for online shoppers to find the best deals!"

Dolores explains, "We started in November 2007 with only bargain emails and expanded to the full service site we are today." Most recently added is the Free Personal Shopping Service. "We get all types of requests. The most unique so far was when a visitor asked us to compare meal delivery services. We found four services and compared all of the features. We try to answer all shopping requests and post our findings for all of our visitors to see."

You can choose to register for bargain emails or use the site to find your own bargains. Either way Find My Bargains is a refreshing bargain shopping site that is easy to navigate and offers shoppers a simple way to save time and money.

"We truly have taken the work out of bargain hunting for online shoppers!"

Find My Bargains, although newly developed, has already been recognized by the Cool Site of the Day in November 2007, by Women's World Magazine as a featured hot web site in their February11, 2008 issue and most recently received a Squeal of Approval from Mr Modem - web guru and publisher.
