Nutballz Buys Elvis Cup Appearance

Elvis fans in Colorado can have their photo taken with the Cup to help Nutballz raise money and awareness for celiac disease

Boulder, CO (PRWEB) January 13, 2005

After selling leftover water from a cup used by Elvis Presley, Wade Jones, of Belmont, N. C., sold a one-time appearance of that same Styrofoam cup on eBay. Nutballz™ Inc., a celiac-friendly food company based in Boulder, Colo., purchased the cup’s appearance to help raise awareness for celiac disease.

Nutballz was founded to provide diet alternatives for celiac disease, a widely misunderstood and often misdiagnosed genetic disorder affecting millions of Americans.

Nutballz are an energy snack with no gluten or refined sugar.

“Our company likes to have fun while addressing this serious health issue by providing great-tasting, gluten-free snacks, so the now-famous Elvis Cup is a perfect guest for our fundraising event,” said Duffy. A portion of the money raised will benefit the Center for Celiac Research, a division of the University of Maryland that is dedicated to research, awareness, consultation, diagnosis and treatment of celiac disease.

Guests will be able to have their photo taken with the cup for $1 – with proceeds benefiting the Center for Celiac Research – at Nutballz Night Out Jan. 25 at the Boulder Theater in Boulder, Colo. To see a photo of the Elvis Cup, get more information about Nutballz Night Out, or to support the Center for Celiac Research, visit www. nutballz. com.

AboveNet Launches Network Serving Motion Picture and Television Producers

AboveNet Launches Network Serving Motion Picture and Television Producers

AboveNet, Inc., has launched jabNET(tm), a new cost-effective, high-bandwidth service for the community of content creators of the motion picture and television industries. jabNET provides a production and post-production network specifically designed to provide exactly the right combination of highly-efficient speed, reliability and security.

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 16, 2008

AboveNet, Inc.], (OTC Bulletin Board: ABVT), a leading provider of fiber optic connectivity solutions, has officially launched jabNET (http://www. above. net/products/jabnet. html)™, a new cost-effective, high-bandwidth service for the community of content creators for the motion picture and television industries.

AboveNet's jabNET is a production and post-production community-based network specifically designed to provide exactly the right combination of highly-efficient speed, reliability and security that the media industry requires.

Motion picture financing has a long history of adapting to fast-changing economic conditions, with each new challenge and solution underscored by the industry's pressing need to shorten the time from original photography to release.

"When working with one of the members of the jabNET community, a producer can save days and even weeks of finance charges by moving production elements across the jabNET," said Anthony Magliocco, recent strategic hire as Director of Media Products at AboveNet.

JabNET enables specialized production teams to quickly and securely share their creative outputs across diverse geographical locations. These are the creative people that produce the highly complex special effects driven action features and adaptations of so many comic book heroes and other productions. The number of iterations needed to perfect this visually rich content has grown dramatically.

"Elements no longer need to wait to be copied and packaged on hard drives and sent via couriers or truck from location to location. jabNET community members just make a few clicks and the files are moving at Gigabit per second speeds," said Magliocco. (Note: Gigabit per second is 1,000 Megabits, about 500 times faster than most home modem speeds and 1,000 times faster than most office connection speeds).

With jabNET, creative teams no longer need to look at tiny images sent over the Internet for collaboration and approvals. Those images can now be viewed in high definition on giant screens allowing truly interactive review and approval sessions. Using the extensive, secure jabNET community network of business partners, producers can send and receive content to hundreds of locations at Gigabit per second speeds.

Magliocco added, "jabNET is going to make sending files using hard drives, or the un-predictable and unsecure Internet, a thing of the past. jabNET users enjoy the immediacy of working in the same room even though they are across town or across the globe."

S. metro markets and London, UK. Its network is widely used in demanding markets such as financial services, media, health care, retail and government. For information please visit www. above. net].

Internet business with sales close to $900,000; now it's for sale on eBay

Internet business with sales close to $900,000; now it's for sale on eBay

Safe and Secure Baby, one of the top-ranked child safety product websites with close to $900,000 in annual sales, is putting itself up for sale on eBay.

Westlake Village, CA (PRWEB) February 10, 2005

Adena Surabian, founder of Safe & Secure Baby, is a specialist on child safety products. Her e-commerce storefront boasts over 300 of the best child safety products in the juvenile products industry including home, travel, feeding, and bath safety items. The website, which does close to $900,000 in annual sales, additionally offers gift registry and a referral program to put interested shoppers in touch with baby proofing experts.

But after four years in business, Surabian is ready to sell the business to the highest bidder in an eBay auction that starts February 06, 2005 and will run for ten days. Surabian says, “It seemed only fitting to sell the business using the same online capability that helped me start this business in the first place.” www. safeandsecurebaby. com will have a reserve price of (will not sell below) $150,000 plus the cost of existing inventory. Serious buyers may contact Alex Wilson of ‘Wilson’ and ‘West’ at 310-312-6004 or at Alex@wilson-west. com for financial details.

Another reason Surabian chose to sell her business on the internet is because online stores can be run from virtually any location in the world. Safe & Secure Baby receives an average of 1200 hits per day, completes 650-800 orders per month, and ships product to customers all over the United States. And Surabian is quick to point out, “with more emphasis on search engine ranking, this business would be even more successful. I have some terrific ideas for growing this business, but have been so swamped with orders that I haven’t had time to really implement those improvements. I’ll be happy to share that insight with serious buyers.”

Surabian is correct in assuming there is room for growth. According to a press release written by Maureen Flanagan for Evenflo in August 2004, “The U. S. market for juvenile products - which accounts for some $6.3 billion in annual retail sales - is projected to grow at a 4% annual rate. This growth will be driven by such trends as an increase in U. S. birth rates, stricter car seat safety regulations, and active parenting lifestyles.”

Surabian is closing the doors on her business to spend more time with her grandmother who has had some recent health issues. Both of Surabian’s grandparents worked at the Safe & Secure Baby warehouse in the early days doing order fulfillment and quality assurance. She says, “My grandparents helped me get this business started and now it’s time for me to help them out. I’m fortunate to be in a position to do that.”

About Safe & Secure Baby

Safe & Secure baby is passionate about providing parents, grandparents, and other care providers with the knowledge, products, and services needed to improve the safety of children everywhere. The company carries all of the top names in child and baby safety products including Evenflo, Britax, Kidco, Graco, Mommy’s Helper, Gerber, Prince Lionheart, and more—all at competitive prices.
