California Reverse Mortgage Information and Comparisons
Cutting edge service provided by Reverse-Mortgage-Info.net now provides Californians with comparison information for multiple reverse mortgage programs.Reverse-Mortgage-Info.net launched a new service today that provides California homeowners with a personalized comparison of the best reverse mortgage programs. Unlike many other reverse mortgage providers who compare only two or three programs, Reverse-Mortgage-Info.net evaluates up to 26 different programs so consumers are sure to get the best one. "Many California consumers are unaware that there are so many different reverse mortgage programs available today. A few years ago, there were only three programs to consider, so it was pretty easy for seniors to choose which one they wanted. But now with so many, consumers need a professional to sit down with them, learn about their needs and goals, and then do the of work of finding the best reverse mortgages for them," stated Luke Helm, a senior loan officer with the company. They often feel more comfortable dealing with a loan officer who can do all the leg work for them. Reverse-Mortgage-Info.net, a division of FutureSafe Financial, stands in a unique position among other California reverse mortgage lenders. The company has developed relationships with every major bank that offers a reverse mortgage program in California. And their efforts are paying off."It's such a relief for our senior clients who don't want to have to call every lender in the phone book to shop for a reverse mortgage", said Mr. Helm. "They often feel more comfortable dealing with a loan officer who can do all the leg work for them." For California seniors who do not wish to speak to a loan officer, Reverse-Mortgage-Info.net provides an online reverse mortgage quote form and online live-chat function. In addition, www.reverse-mortgage-info.net now offers comprehensive reverse mortgage information for California seniors right on their web site. The site includes Reverse Mortgage Basics, a thorough Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section, and top reverse mortgage publications written by independent industry experts. Seniors can also find a reverse mortgage calculator that provides them with an instant estimate of funds available to them and read the real-life stories of people who have obtained senior reverse mortgages.

Cutting Edge Media's CEMProspector Reaches 750 Users and Continues to Grow
Cutting Edge Media's turn-key contact management system allows users to easily manage, sort, and generate leads for local and nationwide prospecting
Elizabethtown, PA (PRWEB) July 11, 2007
Cutting Edge Media announced today that its contact management and marketing system, CEMProspector, has reached 750 users in the two months since its launch.
CEMProspector is a complete system for the direct sales and network marketing industries. The system allows users to manage, sort, and generate leads, but it also includes such tools as a toll-free number, web conferencing, audio and video creators, and a phone bridge that allows for conference calls.
"We're hearing very good things from our users," said Ryan Ogurcak, CEMProspector Project Manager. "People enjoy all the marketing tools and the way CEMProspector helps them get organized. And even though there are a lot of features, people are amazed at how easy it is to use."
"A lot people have told us how they get 'nickel and dimed' when it comes to things like toll-free numbers and conference calling," explained Ogurcak. "With our system, everything is included--there's no need to go out and pay for all of these things separately."
CEMProspector was created when the Product Development team at Cutting Edge Media saw the need for a comprehensive contact management system that could be used by both average distributors and large organizations.
"CEMProspector is a universal platform that can be used by anyone in any company, and provides its users with a systematic, organized approach that simplifies the duplication process," said Drew Urban, Product Development Coordinator. "This system provides the necessary tools for business growth."
Emily Pittarelli, who uses the CEMProspector in her work as an independent USANA distributor, agreed with Urban. "Our use of the CEM Prospector is so valuable--we will definitely be recommending to all of our new distributors," she said. "It's an amazing system."
CEMProspector launched in April of 2007.

"We're hearing very good things from our users," said Ryan Ogurcak, CEMProspector Project Manager. "People enjoy all the marketing tools and the way CEMProspector helps them get organized. And even though there are a lot of features, people are amazed at how easy it is to use."
"A lot people have told us how they get 'nickel and dimed' when it comes to things like toll-free numbers and conference calling," explained Ogurcak. "With our system, everything is included--there's no need to go out and pay for all of these things separately."
CEMProspector was created when the Product Development team at Cutting Edge Media saw the need for a comprehensive contact management system that could be used by both average distributors and large organizations.
"CEMProspector is a universal platform that can be used by anyone in any company, and provides its users with a systematic, organized approach that simplifies the duplication process," said Drew Urban, Product Development Coordinator. "This system provides the necessary tools for business growth."
Emily Pittarelli, who uses the CEMProspector in her work as an independent USANA distributor, agreed with Urban. "Our use of the CEM Prospector is so valuable--we will definitely be recommending to all of our new distributors," she said. "It's an amazing system."
CEMProspector launched in April of 2007.

Cutting-Edge Phono Cartridge Breathes New Life into Old Vinyl
Axiss Audio debuts the Shelter Harmony MC Cartridge
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 5, 2007
For analog enthusiasts in pursuit of perfection, Shelter's Harmony moving coil cartridge is a musical milestone. As the newest addition to Axiss Audio's exclusive collection of luxury audio components, the Harmony delivers audio so refined that even the most familiar recordings sound new once more. As long-buried harmonic layers are uncovered and subtle nuances become audible for the first time, playing old records becomes a revelatory experience.
The Shelter Harmony MC cartridge owes its sonic superiority to a union between innovative ingredients and time-tested mechanics. The cartridge is handcrafted from state-of-the-art aerospace materials. Its shell is constructed from layered sheets of carbon fiber, an exceptionally strong yet light composite that absorbs and decreases vibrations. The motor system features an aluminum cantilever shortened for strength and rapid response and a line-contact stylus designed for enhanced tracking ability.
The latest in a long line of groundbreaking phono cartridges, the Harmony demonstrates once again why Shelter is at the forefront of the analog audio reproduction industry. And as the exclusive U.S. distributor of this elegantly engineered cartridge from Shelter, Axiss Audio gives vinyl connoisseurs an irresistible incentive to give their treasured LPs another spin and a fresh "first listen."

Cutting-edge Technology Hits Pool & Spa Industry
From High Dive to High Tech
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) December 13, 2004 -– The Pool & Spa industry took a high dive into the paperless world of automation with the introduction of ONTRAC, a cutting-edge software solution released at the International Pool & Spa Expo by POSitive Technology, Microsofts leading retail solutions provider, and PoolCorp, the worlds largest Pool & Spa distributor.
Due to cost and a lack of simplicity, the Pool & Spa Industry has lagged behind most other industries in the field of technology. With the release of this affordable, easy to use solution, Pool & Spa dealers will be freed from the antiquated pen and paper processes they currently use. We have achieved a complete integration of the supply chain, starting with a standardized item list that originates from PoolCorp,” said Mike Nicholson, chief operating officer of POSitive Technology. Essentially, we have revolutionized the way the Pool & Spa industry will do business, thus allowing independent Pool & Spa dealers to dramatically increase their profits.”
Currently, more than 20,000 Pool & Spa retailers resort to thick, paper catalogs of specifications, parts diagrams, and over 75,000 SKUs when ordering parts and accessories. Dealers and distributors utilize hand-written purchase orders, manual data entry and fax machines to place orders for customers; countless work hours are spent each year using these outdated processes. The release of the ONTRAC solution now offers integrated resources allowing dealers to view available quantities, order products, and receive instant notification from the distributor when orders are received and processed - all with the click of a button – all paperless. It is estimated that the Pool & Spa industry will save billions with the elimination of data entry, manual conversion errors, and the value of direct vendor response to demand.
The Pool & Spa industry will finally come into its own with this ground-breaking software. Backed by industry-leading Microsoft Retail Management software, IBM SurePOS hardware, two-time Microsoft Partner of the Year, POSitive Technology, and PoolCorp, the worlds largest distributor of pool & spa products, the industry is surely headed toward a future of tremendous growth.
