From Weekend Playground to Retirement Destination, Gun Barrel City, Texas, Offers Something for Everyone

Gun Barrel City, Texas (PRWEB) May 27, 2011

Memorial Weekend kicks off the season in Gun Barrel City, Texas, a fast-growing community that thrives on the summer months when thousands visit Cedar Creek Lake. The town is located just 50 miles south and east of Dallas, but Gun Barrel City offers a relaxed, country pace that appeals to visitors, permanent residents, and city weekenders alike.

With a name as distinctive as its lakefront lifestyle, Gun Barrel City has a lot going for it, including steady growth. The population increased more than 20 percent between the 2000 and 2010 Census, with current population figures at more than 6,500 residents. Over weekends in the summer, that population swells to as much as ten times that number around the lake, as "the weekenders" descend upon their lake homes.

To keep up with community needs, the city has adopted a pro-business attitude. Gun Barrel City is one of just a handful of towns in Texas without ad valorem taxes. The city also has an Economic Development Corporation that offers incentives to businesses interested in locating in the community.

We are actively pursuing retail businesses, restaurants, entertainment venues, and of course agriculture or light manufacturing that bring jobs and services, says Steve Webster, president of the EDC.

Currently the city is working on anchor tenants for its Heritage Cove development, which already includes a new La Quinta Inn, an 8-screen movie theatre, the popular Lake Jackson Seafood Restaurant, a retail strip, and plans for a Riverwalk-style pedestrian shopping and entertainment complex. Land grants, loans, loan guarantees and other incentives are available and are helping position Gun Barrel City as a place to do business.

According to Webster, the population growth in Gun Barrel City is fueled by two trends: families in search of small towns and exceptional schools, and a growing retirement population drawn to the lake and its affordable lifestyle. The combination of new residents and the large weekend population has created a vibrant local economy.

The Lifestyle

Cedar Creek Lake is one of the largest lakes in Texas, and one of only a few that allow property owners to have docks. With more than 350 miles of shoreline, the lake has plenty of lakefront property. Most Gun Barrel City neighborhoods offer lakefront homes, ranging from tiny cabins to million dollar estates.

Theres plenty of room on Cedar Creek Lake for fishing, sailing, water skiing, Personal Water Craft, or cruising on a party barge.

On July 2, the city hosts JulyFest, a festival featuring a line up of popular bands and a fireworks display in the city park. Fireworks can be viewed from anywhere on the lake, as hundreds of private docks become launch pads for impressive fireworks displays.

The July 4th celebrations around Cedar Creek Lake also include an over water Air Show that features vintage and high tech military aircraft that thrill hundreds of boaters who gather on the water to watch the aeronautic acrobatics.

Permanent Visitors

In 2009, Gun Barrel City was awarded the Go Texan Certified Retirement Community designation from the state of Texas, a distinction that has attracted retirees from around the nation who want an affordable lakefront retirement in a moderate climate near excellent medical care.

There really is something for everyone in Gun Barrel City. The lake is a huge draw, and real estate on the lake is affordable. Retirees often start out as weekenders. Before they know it, they move here full time, says Larry Spiegel, a Dallas advertising executive who himself started visiting the lake on weekends before moving to Gun Barrel City full time in 2005.

The close proximity to Dallas means Gun Barrel City is commuting distance, and the area also is popular for telecommuters and professionals who work from home.

If you can live anywhere in the world and do your work, this is a great place to be, Spiegel says.

Cambrian House Sends Out Laptop to Receive Signatures from Technology Rock Stars - Starts with Guy Kawasaki

Calgary, AB (PRWEB) September 15, 2006

CALGARY, AB Sept 15, 2006 Cambrian House Inc., a Calgary-based software company with a unique crowdsourcing business model, announced today the launch of their new fundraising campaign Follow the White Laptop. The campaign kicked off by delivering a new white MacBook to Guy Kawasaki the former Apple evangelist, in hopes of him signing it and sending it off to another technology rock star.

The goal of the campaign is to get as many signatures from luminaries in the technology sector as possible and then auction it off on eBay early next year, says Michael Sikorsky, CEO of Cambrian House. This is a great cause that all our employees are passionate about, and I feel it is important as a company to sometimes step back from our everyday operations and focus some energy to giving back to those who are less fortunate.

All proceeds of the auction will be donated to the Youth for Technology Foundation, an international non-profit organization that seeks to bridge the digital canyon among disadvantaged communities in developing countries, starting with the continent of Africa.

The company is hoping the laptop gets passed onto a diverse range of technology entrepreneurs including people like Bill Gates (Microsoft), Kevin Rose (Digg.com), Steve Jobs (Apple), Ze Frank (zefrank.com), and Chris DeWolfe (MySpace). We are very lucky to have Guy Kawasaki kick off our campaign, and we look forward to seeing who he sends it off to, says Sikorsky.

The Professional Case from iLuv Makes Creating Content on the iPad 2 a Breeze

Port Washington, NY (PRWEB) May 31, 2011

iLuv Creative Technology, the premier provider of the most comprehensive line of accessories for the mobile lifestyle, introduces the iCK826 Professional Case for iPad 2 with removable Bluetooth keyboard. This high quality leatherette case combines a number of innovative features designed specifically for professional users or anyone who prefers the tactile response offered by a traditional keyboard to a touchscreen keyboard interface. Like all iLuv products, the iCK826 Professional Case delivers a unique blend of style, functionality and value to the consumers for which it was designed.

The iCK826s most notable feature is the removable Bluetooth keyboard that adds a traditional keyboard experience to the power and portability of the iPad 2. iLuv designed the keyboard so that the keys react and respond to the users touch in the same tactile manner as a traditional computer keyboard, providing a typing experience that is familiar to the user and completely different than that of typing on the devices touchscreen display.

There is no doubt that the iPad products have changed the game in mobile computing, said Pia Chon, marketing director at iLuv. The iCK826 adds tremendous value to an already amazing device by making it just as easy to create documents and media as it is to consume them on an iPad. This will make the iPad a much more powerful and versatile device for many consumers, particularly those who prefer to type on a traditional physical keyboard.

The iCK826s keyboard includes a micro USB port for fast charging of the internal battery that will last up to 30 days on a single charge. Secured with four Velcro strips attractively and elegantly sewn into the leatherette case, the Bluetooth keyboard can be easily removed and will easily operate from across a table or at the foot of a bed in a hotel room.

While the keyboard is certainly the headline act, the iCK826 also offers some simple, yet thoughtful design elements that truly enhances the user experience and have become a hallmark of the iLuv brand. An excellent example is the retractable kick-stand, which ensures the most comfortable viewing angle when typing or consuming any kind of content on the iPad screen. It also includes a stylish leatherette closure with chrome accents that, when set in the open position, rotates out of the way of the screen. The inside of the case is lined with a micro suede inner lining to protect the back of the iPad 2 from scratches.

Designed specifically for the iPad 2, The Professional case features openings for the front and back cameras as well as a cutout for the iPad 2s speaker so not to inhibit sound while watching movies, listening to favorite song while working or playing a favorite game.

Pricing and Availability

The iCK826 is currently available at select iLuv retailers for $ 129.99.

Cornerstones of a Mobile Office: MacBooks Surge Ahead on Intel Processors and New 140 Watt-hour Portable Power Station from Battery Geek, Inc.

Portland, OR (PRWEB) September 27, 2006

Mobile computing finally realizes its full potential with the recent marriage between Apple Computer and the Intel Core Duo processor. As industry heavyweights forge a new partnership, the move ultimately positions the MacBook Pro as a cornerstone in todays mobile office. Built-in Bluetooth connectivity plus Apples AirPort Extreme let mobile professionals disconnect from their tethered existence, and external battery technology provides an additional 6+ hours of runtime between charges.

At the helm of this mobile office, Mac OS X effortlessly manages the new Intel Core Duo processor for robust performance that matches desktop power. Intensive tasks like digital media editing are split between two computation cores for maximum efficiency. With the MacBook Pro, mobile professionals can touch up images on the latest version of Aperture or review daily footage in Final Cut Studio on the fly.

Taking cues from the iPod, the MacBooks sleek design and innovative ergonomics make work feel more like play. The built-in iSight camera facilitates quick and easy podcasting and video conferencing. Multimedia presentations flow smoothly with the Apple Remote, while the MagSafe power adapter prevents stumbles in the event a cord gets in the way.

Portable Power Station Cuts Power Cord

Until now, the mobile office has struggled to go completely wireless. The predominance of Wi-Fi networks has severed network cables, however mediocre laptop batteries force mobile users to find an outlet and recharge every couple of hours.

The mobile electronics industry has largely ignored battery capacity in favor of smaller devices packed with more features. In contrast, a high tech start-up company from Oregons Silicon Forest has tackled and successfully developed the worlds first and only external battery for the MacBook family of computers.

The new Portable Power Station by Battery Geek, Inc. supplies an additional 6+ hours of mobile computing time for the MacBook Pro, and incidentally supports most Windows based laptops as well. With a massive 140 watt-hour capacity spawned from premium grade Li-ion cells, the Portable Power Station provides a reliable power source to support a demanding mobile office.

Sean M. Murray, USMC veteran and founder and CEO of Battery Geek, Inc. explains, The Portable Power Station legitimizes the concept of a true mobile office. It powers devices from 3 to 28 volts making it the most versatile external battery on the market today.

As mobile professionals rarely travel without a mobile phone, PDA or iPod, the Portable Power Station doubles as a battery backup for these handheld devices. Connect through the USB charge port, and the Portable Power Station recharges virtually any USB device. Its sophisticated electronic control system regulates output power, and integrated sensors monitor the battery to prevent overheating and failure.

Designed as a MacBook companion, the Portable Power Station is roughly half the size of the 13 MacBook and weighs less than 2 pounds. The shock resistant aluminum shell protects the battery from damage, and its compact profile slides conveniently inside a laptop case.

Melissa A. Bostick, co-founder and CFO adds, International travelers are especially excited by the Portable Power Stations flexibility. They are working through long flights, and watching multiple movies on their portable DVD players and iPods during layovers.

About Battery Geek Inc.

Battery Geek Inc. specializes in state-of-the-art external batteries designed to give electronic devices the longest possible run time while keeping them operating at their highest performance. In addition to presenting batteries and accessories for sale, Battery Geek is committed to providing knowledge and education regarding battery power.

Consumers seeking more information regarding Battery Geeks newest product, the 140Wh Portable Power Station, are invited to visit http://www.batterygeek.net and use an online form to request a free battery audit to help them determine the best power solution for their laptop, cell phone, portable DVD player or other mobile device.

Outskirts Press Announces Called to Witness, the Latest Highly-Anticipated Christianity - Evangelism - Personal Witnessing book from Jesup, GA, Author Byron J. Scott

Denver, CO, and Jesup, GA (PRWEB) March 1, 2008

Outskirts Press, Inc. has published Called to Witness: Evangelism Through the Appealing Christian Life by Byron J. Scott, which is the author's most recent book to date.

The webpage at http://www.outskirtspress.com/ByronScott2 was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.

About the Book (Excerpts & Info)

Jesus made it clear that as Christians we are "Called to Witness" of our faith. While most Christians know they should witness, many are not comfortable doing so. This is because we have experienced bad witnessing that turned us off. This book will explain God's grace and mercy and the kind of relationship God desires to have with us. It is the presence of Christ within us that will draw people to him. By referring to several scriptures the reader will learn how to live an appealing Christian life that will win others. There is a chapter on Bible verses that give assurance to people and prayers we can pray with others. The book ends with an outline of a class that can be taught to teach people about Evangelism. Rev. Scott is also the author of The Mystery of God's Will: Living the Christian Life as Seen in Ephesians. Both books deal with living the Christian life.

"I really enjoyed reading Called To Witness. It's just one of those books that you just can't put down. This book reminds us of God's mercy and grace and of the wonderful gift of salvation that He's given each of us. This book also reminds us of how important is it to share the Good News and to lead others to Christ and it helps us to understand our role in evangelism. The author also provides useful tips and information regarding witnessing." -- Mike Clotfelter, A reviewer, 02/23/2008

"Called To Witness reminds us the greatest witness we have is through the appeal of our Christian life. It caused me to pause and reflect on how people see me live my life as a Christian. It is only when we are experiencing God's grace daily that we can be a true witness. The author also provides tools for training that can be used in church evangelism." -- February 26, 2008 By Janice C. Sanders (Decatur, GA USA)

Selling Your Products From Facebook Is Now Possible With the Launch of the LunarStore App by LunarMods

Anaheim, CA (PRWEB) August 02, 2011

With the increasing popularity of the social networking giant Facebook, businesses have been looking for ways to capitalize on the marketing efforts invested on this platform.

The LunarStore App also makes it easy for anyone to setup an eCommerce store in less than five minutes. LunarMods not only has the most easy to use eCommerce App, but is also distinguished for being flexible, secure and social.

School is in Session--Tips From Consolidated Credit Make Costs Less Burdensome Now and Throughout the Year

Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) August 24, 2005

To avoid your budget being blown throughout the year, prepare a checklist of needed items and establish a budget each time before you go shopping.

"A budget enables parents to set a good financial example for children. It's an excellent opportunity to teach young people about the importance of paying attention to prices, controlling spending and knowing the difference between needs and wants", says Howard Dvorkin, founder of Consolidated Credit Counseling Services, Inc.

Shopping advice:

1) Let kids pay for some items with their own money. If your fashion-conscious son or daughter wants a pair of pricey designer jeans, for example, you might offer to pay up to the cost of a less expensive non-brand pair and let him or her pay the difference.

2) Consider teaming-up with another family and buy items needed in bulk quantities. By shopping at warehouse discount stores, two or even three families can divide purchases - along with the costs.

3) Budget for the unexpected or the forgotten. In addition to the usual clothing, textbooks and desk supplies; the return to school can bring other assorted expenses - like cafeteria lunches or groceries for brown bag lunches, haircuts, PTA dues and gym uniforms.

Don't buy for the sake of buying. If you can reuse school supplies from the previous year, by all means do so.

4) Use tried-and-true money saving methods. Shop when stores are having sales. Choose generic or store labels over designer names.

See http://www.ConsolidatedCredit.org for more savings and shopping advice.

Have iPad, Will Travel: New Report from Greystripe Shows Dramatic Link Between Travel Activities and Tablet Usage

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) September 28, 2011

67 percent of iPad users are frequent travelers and use their device for everything from booking flights, to getting directions, to finding the best local restaurant. A new study by mobile advertising network Greystripe, a division of ValueClick (Nasdaq: VCLK), on the use of touch smartphones and iPads in travel, found while nearly all touch smartphone and tablet users use their device while traveling, iPad users are more likely (60 percent) than iPhone and Android users (49 percent) to use their device to make a travel booking.

These results correspond to the boom in travel-related mobile ad campaigns in the Greystripe network, which has grown 49.2 percent in the past 12 months.

Greystripe collected the data from 971 users on its expansive network of iPhone (including iTouch), Android and iPad devices during a month-long period from June to July 2011.

The study took an in-depth look at how iPads, iPhones (including iPod Touches) and Androids are used by frequent travelers throughout the travel process for everything from planning a vacation to how they use their devices while traveling. The study found iPads are especially vacation and business travel-friendly: 91 percent of iPad users have used their device for a travel related activity of some kind.

Because iPads are so portable, many travelers with the device use it to make travel arrangements:

Their development of tools successfully have helped to block over 2.5 million Conficker domains and aided anti-abuse policies, resulting in the suspension in over 100,000 abusive domains.

Afilias is committed to defeating abusive uses of domains and, since introducing our anti-abuse policy in 2008, we have demonstrated measurable results in fighting phishing, malware, and spam, added Greg Aaron, Director of Domain Security for Afilias. Collaboration with our registrars, the Anti-Phishing Working Group, law enforcement, and security vendors and researchers have helped make our efforts successful. This results-oriented approach and expertise sets our registry services apart.
