MySecuritySign.com Stops Troublemakers with No Loitering Signs
Brooklyn, NY (PRWEB) April 16, 2012
MySecuritySign.com is expanding promotions on new No Loitering Signs to help customers keep away unwanted visitors. Loitering is commonly known as idling on a property area without a purpose, which can breed trouble. MySecuritySign’s products nip bad behavior in the bud.
Loitering is a nuisance and a gateway to worse disruptions. On April 3rd, 2012, CBSLocal.com reported that Los Angeles police arrested 18 men for a sting at a Manhattan Beach public restroom. Lifeguards called the police after noting that the same men were always returning to the restroom, and one of the many charges issued was loitering. “Unmonitored public areas can be catalysts for destructive acts,” said Rena Sapon-White, Associate at MySecuritySign.com. “Customers have found that No Loitering Signs are an excellent way to stop trouble before it starts.”
MySecuritySign’s massive selection keeps people in line and moving along. Naturally, the store carries the simple “No Loitering” message. More authoritative options include “No Loitering: Police Enforced” or “Unlawful to Loiter” to inform idlers that areas are monitored. The site has a no loitering sign for everyone, from private property messages that prohibit skateboarding and soliciting to bilingual options and signs specifically for schools.
Even though an impressive number of options are available, shoppers may want to create personal and unique no loitering signs. A customer can choose a custom template, add in personal text, upload artwork, or have a professional tweak it for no extra charge. Regardless of the message, MySecuritySign sticks with providing premium quality aluminum, laminated, or vinyl signs. The signs stay strong though weather and chemical damage for at least fifteen years, printed with 3M ink that sticks out for miles.

Big4.com Reports on Deloitte Consumer Spending Index Showing Increase After Months of Decline
(PRWEB) April 15, 2012
Big4.com, the premier social networking forum for professionals and alumni of Accenture, Andersen, BearingPoint, Capgemini, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers, PwC, reports March marked only the third monthly increase over the past 12 months for the Deloitte Consumer Spending Index and recent developments show consumer cash flow may be strained going forward.
The Deloitte Consumer Spending Index tracks consumer cash flow as a way of predicting future consumer spending. Carl Steidtmann, Deloitte’s chief economist and author of the monthly index supplied an overview.
“The Index turned upward as the pace of declining new home prices slowed,” he said. “Despite this improved performance, there is little evidence the housing market is picking up. On the positive side, initial unemployment claims continue to move lower from a year ago.”
Big4.com looked at the recent developments that put constraints on consumer cash flow. These include the facts that gasoline prices continued to rise, the savings rate has fallen from 4.7 percent to 3.7 percent over the past two months and real incomes fell 0.1 percent in February although consumer spending rose.
Other highlights from the Deloitte research include the fact that the tax burden continues to rise slowly even as tax revenues collected by the Federal government stagnate. The burden of the increase comes at the state and local level where increases have been needed in attempts to balance budgets. As well, jobless claims continued to fall and were at 354,750 in the most recent month.

Planning Family, the Premier Online Destination for New and Expecting Families, Announced Today the Launch of a New Brand Identity – EverydayFamily
Costa Mesa, California (PRWEB) April 13, 2012
Planning Family, the premier online destination for new and expecting families, announced today the launch of a new brand identity – EverydayFamily. The new brand is an energized and accurate reflection of what the publisher does best – deliver engagement that is the result of deep connections with the nation’s largest niche group – new and expecting parents. Through the EverydayFamily community, parents can search for and connect with each other based on shared challenges, interests, kids’ ages, and geography.
“EverydayFamily is about everyday life,” says Shiloh Johnson, Chief Content Officer. “We’ve added more tools and information to help parents with their daily challenges and questions, whether they are trying to conceive or to keep a toddler entertained. We’ve expanded our resources for parents, creating forums that allow members to connect with others in order to share advice and establish relationships. We’ve added My Everyday, which organizes tools, checklists, journals, pictures, and more into convenient and easy to use format. EverydayFamily fosters parent-to-parent camaraderie and a true sense of community.”
“Unlike many social networks targeting young people, the EverydayFamily community has been uniquely developed to meet the needs of busy families,” says Noah Anderson, CEO. “As we’ve grown, and our families have grown, we’ve learned that family isn’t really about just planning, it’s about the everyday. A quick dictionary search will tell you that ‘everyday’ is common, typical, and unremarkable, but we disagree. The real magic of life is in the everyday moments lived by everyday families. Life is watching your baby learn to walk, or your preschooler learn to write her name. Life is feeling a love beyond anything you could imagine when you first see your newborn baby, or hear your toddler say, ‘I love you.’ EverydayFamily is sharing your life with a good friend, another parent, grandma & grandpa, or another loved one half-way around the world.”
With more than three million members, EverydayFamily brings together the best of what new and expecting parents have to say on hundreds of important topics relating to preconception, pregnancy, and parenting. Complementing EverydayFamily articles and expert advice, hundreds of mom contributors, including everyday parents, credentialed mom & dad experts, and prominent bloggers all provide a range of perspectives on everyday topics.
About Everyday Family
EverydayFamily is not only a go-to resource for parents, but also for companies that recognize new and expecting parents as life stage consumers. EverydayFamily has helped some of America’s most well known companies, like Kimberly Clark and Fisher Price, reach parents with special offers, brand messages, and key life stage information.
“More and more, we’re seeing everyday families turn primarily to the Internet for a wide-range of information,” said Tony Golden, Director of Business Development for EverydayFamily. “We are continually offering our marketing partners a variety of creative approaches to reach this audience strategically and efficiently. EverydayFamily represents one of the best options for brands to break thru the noise and engage parents in a trusted community based environment.”
EverydayFamily (EF) is a family driven website – in every sense – featuring a growing community of over two million members who share their everyday parenting experiences. EF is an online home and established resource for experts and parents who have advice and information to share, as well as those who are seeking guidance and support as they move through their family’s journey, from preconception, to preschool, and beyond. EF invites everyone to get comfortable and share stories, thoughts, advice, and opinions with other families. The editors at EF, as well as the entire EF community, are dedicated to providing daily content for families seeking advice, information, and support… and to giving back to the communities supporting us.

Jackie Fame Joins Forces with The Weinstein Company to Promote the Movie ‘Bully’
CHARLOTTE, N.C. and LOS ANGELES, Calif., (PRWEB) April 13, 2012
Jackie Fame, Inc. (FAME), the leading kid/teen social network http://www.JFame.com, is joining forces with The Weinstein Company to promote the movie “Bully.” After much debate over the rating, the PG-13 version of the anti-bullying documentary will open in 115 theaters.
FAME and the AMC Cinema chain will sponsor several “Bully Movie Events” across the country, with selected theaters offering free admission to a one-night “Bully” awareness event – with the continued goal of involving parents, students, educators, and advocates in the movement to ending bullying.
In addition, with every “Bully” ticket purchased through MovieTickets.com (http://www.MovieTickets.com), FAME will provide a free download of its book “Kid2Kid, Keepin’ it Safe Online” (ISBN: 978-0-675-50025-6) made available for the NOOK and Kindle eBook formats. “Kid2Kid” includes great advice for young people about staying safe online, and includes a chapter about preventing bullying in cyberspace and in everyday life.
“We are happy to join The Weinstein Company’s ‘Bully’ campaign to help raise awareness about the serious effects of bullying. We hope to help inspire kids from around the world to stand up to bullying,” said Zachary Swauger 13, FAME co-founder.
“This has always been a mission of the Jackie Fame network,” added Joshua Swauger 11, FAME co-founder. “In 2011, we launched ‘We Have the Power’ at http://www.WeHaveThePower.net – a grass roots awareness movement about the terrible effects of bullying on school-aged kids. We recorded an original song, produced by DJ Boom and Hip-Hop recording artist G-Money. We wrote the lyrics to express how deeply concerned we are about bullying and its effect on our peers.”
The FAME co-founders hope all school-aged kids and their parents will see “Bully” and join together in the fight to stop all forms of bullying.
About “Bully”:
Directed by Sundance and Emmy-award winning filmmaker, Lee Hirsch, “Bully” is a beautifully cinematic, character-driven documentary. At its heart are those with huge stakes in this issue whose stories each represent a different facet of America’s bullying crisis. “Bully” follows five kids and families over the course of a school year. Stories include two families who have lost children to suicide and a mother awaiting the fate of her 14-year-old daughter who has been incarcerated after bringing a gun on her school bus.
With an intimate glimpse into homes, classrooms, cafeterias and principals’ offices, the film offers insight into the often cruel world of the lives of bullied children. As teachers, administrators, kids and parents struggle to find answers, “Bully” examines the dire consequences of bullying through the testimony of strong and courageous youth. Through the power of their stories, the film aims to be a catalyst for change in the way we deal with bullying as parents, teachers, children and society as a whole.

Practice Responsible Firearm Ownership with Gun Safes from GunSafeSolution.com
Dayton, Texas (PRWEB) April 13, 2012
Web entrepreneurs Joel and Linda Barlow are pleased to debut their gun safe store, http://www.GunSafeSolution.com. Responsible firearm owners are invited to browse the site for incredible deals on top of the line gun safes and accessories.
“Having a gun in a home without a safe is not acceptable,” said Joel. “Especially if you have kids, like we do, you want to take precautions so they can’t accidentally get their hands on a loaded weapon.”
Added Linda, “Joel is on the volunteer fire departments and he’s been on several calls where kids and adults have gotten into firearm accidents that were completely preventable had the proper precautions been taken.”
Secure a small firearm in any room of a home with the help of a GunVault biometric
DrawerVault that fits and operates inside most standard drawers, and features the patented No-Eyes® keypad. GunVault’s foolproof security and rock-solid construction can also be found in the GunVault MiniVault deluxe and GunVault MultiVault biometric safes featured on the site. In need of a portable small gun safe? Check out the nano and micro vaults for sale that weigh five pounds or less and can be mounted almost anywhere. Not just for guns, any of the aforementioned safes can be used to secure valuables like jewelry, passports, and birth certificates.
“A lot of people carry handguns for personal safety, so I usually recommend the biometric safes to them. They swing open with your handprint so you can get to your weapon easily,” said Linda.
“Hopefully, you’ll never have to use your weapon, but there may be a situation where you need to in order to protect yourself and your family,” said Joel.
For larger guns, choose from a number of affordable Crown Series double wide gun safes. Each one features a 14 bolt system and S&G combo lock made in the USA. Safe accessories available through the site include safe light mechanisms, security cables, lockdown handgun racks, hygrometer, lockdown silica gel and more.
Customer service is the number one priority at GunSafeSolution.com. The Barlows stand behind the quality of the safes they offer and are confident that their prices are among the lowest online. If a desired gun safe or accessory isn’t immediately found on the site, then the Barlows urge customers to call in so they can personally track down the item.
Additional gun safety information and gun safe reviews can be found on the site’s new interactive blog, http://www.GunSafeSolutionBlog.com.
