With this partnership, ABN members who purchase a car through Hertz Rent2Buy will receive $100 off the purchase price of the vehicle.

ABN was named Hertz's 2010 Small Business Partner of the Year based on their loyalty and dedication to the long time partnership with Hertz to provide discounted car rental services to their members. "ABN's marketing efforts are second to none in our membership segment," said Frissora "and have resulted in a continuing upward trend of activity from, and significant savings for, their member companies. They get it when it comes to value proposition."

For customers who choose to purchase the car, competitive finance options are available to simplify the payment process at incredibly competitive used car prices.

If the customer decides not to purchase the car, the vehicle is returned to the rental location and the transaction is treated as a standard rental.

"We are very excited to introduce Hertz’s Rent2Buy program to our members. We have a tremendously successful history with Hertz, and we feel that our members will find just as much value in our new Rent2Buy program as they do in our car rental program.” ABN President Jack Bergman said.

Swimwear designer Tara Grinna predicts swimwear trends for 2011

For those overwhelmed with choices on what to wear for summer 2011, swimwear designer Tara Grinna provides a glimpse of what could be the trends for Spring/Summer 2011.

"The Fashion Swim Week in Miami indicates a very colorful 2011. There's going to be plenty of choices to play with colors. Colors like blue green, orange and shades of brown are likely to be the most popular. Turquoise and light skies blended with greens are predicted to be a great hit for 2011. Gold is another color that's likely to rule the 2011 swimwear scene, with golden threads, golden dye et al …set to add bling to 2011, says the legendary designer.

"Besides colors geometric shapes characterized by tribal, ethnic and abstract art, unexpected colorful animal prints and beautiful abstract composites are also likely to rule the roost for 2011. Just as the last few years bandeaus and monokinis are to be a feature of 2011 as well. You could add bikinis and one piece suits to this list, she adds.

"Vintage swimwear that exudes sexiness and style and reveals just the right amount of skin is likely to make a comeback. A perfect balance is maintained between mystery and sexiness in these swimsuits. For those deciding to go bold, styles are likely to go diverse and likely to range from deep Brazilian cuts to moderate cuts, and full covered bottoms.

This year at Tara Grinna, we’ve incorporated the latest style of colors in an unexpected way and when the collection is merchandised, the color stories are eye popping variations of luscious hues that hang beautifully together so one can mix and match solids and prints or choose both.

Tara Grinna is in the swimwear industry for over 25 years now and is a respected personality known for her ability to fit and compliment almost every figure type with her body flattering silhouettes.

"Because I always have such an emotional connection to each printed fabric or dyed solid color I have chosen to use in each season’s collection, I felt as if it should be expressed and perhaps the consumer will agree that the fabric, when placed in her hands in the form a finely crafted swimsuit that has been created with a great deal of care and personal interest and will create an emotion inside her as well," she adds.

Gateway Funding Offers Tips to Consider When Buying Your Dream Home

Is it possible to hate the very Dream Home that you always wished to buy? Yes! You’ve spent your time, money and energy on your dream home, just to realize in a few months that your dreams were after all a nightmare in disguise. So what went wrong? Read on to learn more, as Gateway Funding Diversified Mortgage Services, LP discusses the things that you need to consider before buying a house.

“Buying your ‘Dream Home’ is often an emotional decision for almost every one of us. While the emotional aspect of the choice cannot be denied, decisions based entirely on emotions aren’t always positive. When looking for homes, it is important to consider aspects such as repairs and maintenance, schools, taxes, commuting to and from your workplace, neighborhood etc. If any of these factors conflict with what you were hoping for, there is a large likelihood of a strain on your budget and your happiness” says Dan Catinella of Gateway Funding Inc. Gateway Funding Diversified Mortgage Services, has been involved in helping people with mortgages, refinance etc. and is the largest privately held mortgage lender in the US.

“Aesthetics are important, but not beyond practical convenience” he adds. According to him, rather than paying absolute attention on the right color choice and deciding of the kind of flooring, pay attention to the practical problems at hand. Is there a school in the neighborhood? If so how much time does it take to travel to the school .Are there kids in the neighborhood that are the same age as your children? How long does it take to travel to your workplace? A beautiful home but far away from your workplace, only means that you have to spend more time and money on commuting. Consider the amount of gas that you would need to spend on your car and then there’s maintenance as well.

Buying an old home may be a cheaper option but have you factored in, the maintenance costs? Have you always wanted a home with a pool and a garden? Have you considered the cost of pool maintenance and what about the garden maintenance costs? A larger home has a higher cost of heating, cooling, carpeting, etc. Also remember the neighborhood; the value of your home is bound to increase or decrease with the value in the neighborhood. These costs when added to the monthly payments towards the home loan, is sure to cause a huge strain on your budget if you are not careful.

“At Gateway funding, we help people to decide on the appropriate product, that’s best suited for their financial situation, so that they don’t have problems with their home loans. You can always discuss with our mortgage specialists on the products and services that are best suited for them” he adds.

Gateway Funding Inc. Discusses Home Loans Under the USDA Rural Housing Program

The USDA Rural Home Loan Program also commonly referred as Section 502 Loan Program provides low-cost insured home mortgages to people with low or moderate income. These home loans are ideal for homebuyers with limited savings, and for low to moderate income buyers. The USDA Rural Home Loan Program, guarantees home loans to lenders in specifically targeted rural areas on mortgage loans made to low and moderate income applicants.

“At Gateway Funding, we provide loans under the USDA Rural Housing Program. There are basically two different types of loans for single family households that are offered under this program- the USDA Guaranteed Rural Housing Loans and the USDA Direct Rural Housing Loans. To know if your area is eligible and also to know more on the income limits to qualify under the program, you could contact our mortgage specialist, who would explain you about the eligibility details” says Gateway Funding Diversified Mortgage Services, LP.

The USDA Guaranteed Rural Housing Loan is the most common type of loan and allows for higher income limits and also for 100% financing for home purchases. Loan applicants under this scheme may have an income up to 115% of the median household income. These are 30 year loans with a fixed rate. The USDA Rural Housing Service shall however charge an upfront fee of 3.5% and also collect an annual fee of 0.5 % on the balance loan amount.

The USDA Direct Rural Housing Loans aren’t as popular as their counterpart and can be only availed by people from low to very low income households. Very low can be defined as below 50 of the area median and low income is anywhere between 50-80% of the median.

“The best aspect of this loan is that they are not credit score driven, although the applicant has to prove that he or she has a decent record of paying his or her bills on time. These loans neither require down payment nor reserves. Also with a onetime guarantee fee, you can opt out of the monthly mortgage insurance” explains a Gateway Funding Loan Officer. Gateway Funding Inc. has been providing diversified mortgage services for the past 16 years and is now one of the largest privately held mortgage companies in the US.

FHA Loans are the Best Option for Investors, says Gateway Funding Diversified Mortgage Services, LP

During the recent real estate boom, FHA Loans weren’t very popular as people were flocking to subprime mortgages to obtain finance for their dream homes. But now, as lending standards have tightened people are rediscovering the importance of FHA Loans. The FHA doesn’t directly lend, but insures the home loans that banks give to consumers. An FHA loan is easily approved and mortgage lenders are flexible with their guidelines.

“A FHA Loan has a low down payment, and some of these down payments can come from gifts and grants. You can also borrow almost 97 % of the value of a home. They also have flexible income, debt and credit requirements” says, Dan Catinella of Gateway Funding Inc., a company that offers diversified mortgage services.

“Most lenders have a minimum credit score requirement of 640 or higher. Mortgage lenders want to see that you have a decent history of paying bills on time. For those who have had a foreclosure, lenders will wait for atleast three years since a foreclosure before they approve a new home loan. The same goes for a short sale. However until the three years, you should have a decent record” he adds.

“At Gateway Funding Inc, we provide FHA Loans to homebuyers with limited savings and also to low and moderate income homebuyers as well as a variety of other home loan options. For those who are 62 years or older and have accumulated equity in your home, you can take advantage of the FHA insured reverse mortgage. You could call a Gateway Funding mortgage specialist who can help you with the details. The mortgage specialist can help you analyze and review your residential purchasing options and suggest you the best possible way out” says Gateway Funding Diversified Mortgage Services, LP.

Gateway Funding Diversified Mortgage Services LP Helps Consumers with FHA Reverse Mortgage Products

Rising unemployment, the decline in the stock market and decreasing home values have impacted the lives of many Americans. This is especially true of senior citizens who live on fixed incomes and have lost a substantial portion of their retirement funds in the stock market.

Gateway Funding Diversified Mortgage Services LP offers FHA reverse mortgages as a solution that can provide tax-free cash to senior homeowners. A reverse mortgage is a special type of mortgage loan where we convert your home’s equity into tax-free cash. So, unlike a traditional mortgage where you are making payments to the lender each month, with a reverse mortgage, the lender is making payments to you each month. The size of the payments depends on how much equity you have in the home, the appraised value of the home, interest rates and your age (62 or greater); the older you are, the more cash you receive. You can receive payments in the form of a lump sum, monthly installments, a line of credit or a combination of these methods.

Repayment of the reverse mortgage only takes place when homeowner permanently moves out of the home. All FHA reverse mortgages are non-recourse loans, meaning that in the event the loan balance exceeds the value of the home, there is no personal liability to the borrower or their heirs. A borrower never owes more than the value of their home. Any amount due in excess of the home's value will be forgiven,” says an expert at Gateway Funding Inc. Upon leaving your home, the loan balance plus accrued interest becomes due and payable; that repayment may be made from the proceeds of selling the home.

The Wall Street Journal recently reported in the months of March and April that the number of reverse mortgages has seen a steep rise of 20% compared to the statistics recorded last year at the same time. Once a homeowner obtains a reverse mortgage, their only obligations are to pay real estate taxes, pay homeowners insurance and to keep the property in good condition.

While reverse mortgages are typically used to provide a lump sum of cash or increase monthly cash flow, they can even be a viable option for seniors facing foreclosure or bankruptcy.

Yesterday, a new reverse mortgage product called the “HECM Saver” was introduced; this product drastically reduces the closing costs of a reverse mortgage making them an attractive option for even more seniors

Gateway Funding utilizes a multi-investor platform enabling the company to provide consumers with a diverse array of both fixed and adjustable rate reverse mortgage products from leading financial companies throughout the U.S.

People finally understand that massage is a necessity to their health and well-being.”

While many salons and spas offer hour-long massages that cost anywhere between $90 and $125, an hour massage session is only $59 per month at Massage Envy Spa, based on a 12-month membership.

Debt Collection in Germany: Out of Court Settlements

Most of our international clients seeking debt collection services in Germany would prefer that we negotiate a debt settlement out of court, if at all possible. Avoiding litigation can save time and money and may be especially desirable if you wish to preserve a business relationship with the debtor.

The attorneys at GRP Rainer LLP are experienced negotiators that can provide a variety of debt collection services in Germany if you would prefer an out of court settlement.

Out of Court Services

The majority of our international debt collection cases are resolved out of court. After our firm is retained to represent a client, we start working to recover debt in Germany.

First, documentation of the debt including copies of contracts, business orders, sales transactions, and correspondence will be requested. An analysis will be conducted of the legal issues involved in the claim, as well as possible problems that might arise.

GRP Rainer LLP regularly works with international trace and collect credit reference agencies that can find and provide financial information on a debtor. We can also investigate the debtor to determine if they have filed for bankruptcy or insolvency.

After conducting an initial review of your case and the financial status of the debtor, our German debt collection firm will send the debtor a “dunning letter”. This letter of collection will advise the debtor of your legal representation by our firm and notify them of the past-due amounts owed to your company. It is our goal in sending dunning letters to debtors to preserve the goodwill that might exist between both companies.

By the time most companies retain our services, they have already sought to resolve the bad debt over the telephone and have perhaps sent correspondence to the German debtor. For this reason, we typically do not dedicate your resources to additional telephone collection efforts, but have found that it is persuasive for many debtors to receive a dunning letter from a debt collection firm based in Germany http://www.grprainer.com/en/Debt-Collection.html

Arbitration

If typical pre-trial proceedings and out of court services do not resolve the debt to our client’s satisfaction, they may opt for arbitration as an alternative to litigation.

Arbitration is permitted under German Law and may also be included in a contract via an “arbitration clause.” An arbitration clause typically states that if there is a contractual dispute, the parties to the contract are required to settle the dispute out of court.

This alternative dispute resolution involves both parties reviewing the case with a neutral third party who then issues a decision that is legally binding for both sides. Unlike The decision made by the arbiter is enforceable against the creditor or debtor.

As noted above, even if arbitration was not initially contemplated in the contract, it may be agreed upon by the creditor and debtor after a debt dispute arises. Procedural rules from the German Civil Procedural Code or the International Chamber of Commerce are typically applicable to international debt recovery arbitrations in Germany.

How GRP Rainer LLP Can Help

GRP Rainer LLP are German debt collection specialists, with experience representing English-speaking clients facing out of court debt collection settlements and arbitrations. Our lawyers are fluent in both German and English and are experienced bilingual negotiators who are familiar with drafting legal documents in English. If your company needs to recover debt in Germany, contact us today to learn more about our German debt collection services.

SUPERMATH Conference to Feature Cutting-Edge Technology Demonstrations in Predictive Analytics

SUPERMATH, a new analytics conference slated for November 10 at the Del Mar Marriott, features demonstrations of cutting edge technologies and keynotes by national analytics thought leaders for a day of provocative presentations and futuristic insights designed to inspire, educate and promote collaborations.

A public expo of cutting-edge analytics technologies, bioinformatics, business intelligence and practical applications in everyday life will be showcased in four industry “neighborhoods” – Risk, Security and Fraud; Healthcare and Medicine; Media, Marketing and Social Networks, and Energy, Infrastructure and Clean Tech.

Among the 20 technologies to be demonstrated are:

SPAWAR (ship and fire identification and mapping) -- The RAPid Image Exploitation Resource (RAPIER) uses advanced image algorithms to detect, classify and map ships and identify and map fires using high-resolution satellite imagery. It is a valuable tool for first responders, disaster response coordinators, maritime law enforcement, and port authorities.

SANDAG (traffic optimization/management) -- Demonstrates how traffic simulation works in conjunction with an $8 million grant received to implement Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) to study the operation of the I-15 freeway corridor as a single multi-model system as opposed to separate assets. Shows how simulation can impact planning a region’s infrastructure decisions, and how information is leveraged in optimizing roadway operations and policy-making.

UCSD LISA (driver prediction system) -- The Laboratory for Intelligent and Safe Automobiles (LISA) explores innovative approaches to making future automobiles safer and “intelligent.” Its research considers issues in sensing, analysis, modeling, and prediction of parameters associated with drivers, occupants, vehicle dynamics and vehicle surroundings. LISA will exhibit recent advances in predicting driver behaviors and intentions. In collaboration with automakers Volkswagen and Nissan, LISA has implemented a next-generation Driver Assistance System.

SmartDrive (driver safety analysis) -- The SmartDrive Safety system uses in-vehicle recorders to capture video, audio and vehicle data to analyze driver behavior for fleet vehicles. Advanced algorithms model and predict driving behavior, enabling companies to identity and coach the drivers most at-risk for a collision or adverse event.

“We are very excited to be showcasing many of the new and innovative analytics applications being developed in the San Diego region,” said Conference Chair Tom Clancy, a director of the San Diego Software Industry Council (SDSIC) and Managing Director at Tao Venture Partners. “These applications are being used to analyze and optimize everything from traffic flow and roadway operations to laboratory research and wildfire burn rates and directions. San Diego is prolific in producing cutting edge research, analytics innovations and talented teams. This conference brings that story to a wider audience. It is designed to educate business and the general public about the significant roles and possibilities analytics present for creating a healthier, safer and more efficient world.”

Conference keynote speakers include: energy-policy analyst, transport economist and environmental activist Charles Komanoff, recently featured in Wired magazine; Cheryl Max, Director, Functional Capabilities, World Wide Demand Programs, IBM; Dr. Eric Topol, a pioneer in advancing individualized and wireless medicine; and Pamela Scanlon, Executive Director of San Diego’s Automated Regional Justice Information System (ARJIS). Others include Michael Victoroff, M.D., Chief Medical Officer for Parity Computing; Amy Chui, Vice-president of Risk Analysis and Management at Sempra Energy, and Revathi Subramanian, Director of Research & Development with the SAS Institute, Inc.

Bob Slapin, Executive Director of the SDSIC which is organizing the conference, said, “Software analytics companies have multiplied and evolved to create a nationally significant cluster in San Diego. More than 100 analytics firms call San Diego home – small, medium and large. And this doesn’t count the numerous additional companies using analytics as an integral part of their on-going operations.

ReplicaHause.com launches its latest collection of high end Swiss replica watches

ReplicaHause.com continues to stand out as a top provider of high-end replica watches.

Those who are drawn to the styling exhibited by luxury watches, but are not quite so fond of the high prices associated with them, may find themselves abandoning the possibility of ever wearing such a fashionable accessory. However, smart shoppers can find a near perfect solution to this common dilemma thanks to ReplicaHause. There may be no dearth of replica watches on the Internet, yet there is certainly a lack of well-made, high-quality ones. At ReplicaHause.com, an online store for replica watches, there are numerous, perfectly replicated watches to choose from and all at affordable rates.

For those who would love to make a style statement, through their accessories, these high end replica watches are the perfect choice. In fact most of these watches are matched to such perfection, that it’s difficult even for a trained eye to spot the difference.

As people are increasingly becoming fashion conscious, the market for these uber chic replica watches has grown tremendously. However the increase in demand has also led to a number of fraudsters having a field day. “One has to be very careful before investing in a quality replica watch,” says Alicia Jenson of ReplicaHause.com. “We have been in the business of providing high-end replica watches since 2004, and hence have a strong customer base that understands our commitment to both quality & to providing our customers with a great shopping experience.”

It is very common for online stores to lure people with photographs of high-end watches. “For those who aren’t satisfied with the photographs of our products, we offer to send additional high definition pictures of the product, even before you pay for it. In addition to this, we have a 10–day trial period, within which, if a customer isn’t satisfied with the watch, he or she can return it for a refund or exchange,” adds Alicia Jenson. Jenson was inspired to found ReplicaHause.com, as she has been an avid collector of designer watches for many years and became frustrated with the low quality offerings found online, along with the disreputable business practices of the websites that were selling replica watches.

About ReplicaHause.com: With one of the largest collection of watches, ReplicaHause.com is a premium retailer of high-end replica watches. They have the latest collection of replicas, from upscale brands like Rolex, Tag Heuer, Mont Blanc, Omega, Porsche, Bvlgari and many more Swiss timepieces.

Berlin City Tours launches interactive Berlin maps.

It is finally here! Berlin City Tours launches Walk this Way Berlin maps. These interactive maps of Berlin were put together by Boris Coronado, a half German, half Peruvian New Yorker-turned-Berliner who has been living in the capital of Germany for over a decade. With an emphasis on fine dining and help from his fellow expats as well as his Berlin family and friends he has put together an unsurpassed interactive guide to Berlin.

All the recommendations listed on our Berlin maps have been chosen on merit alone. ( No advertising has influenced our decision to include the points on the maps). Since Berlin is a huge city with 880 square kilometers the maps have been arranged by neighborhood making them simple and easy to use. Seven different neighborhoods are represented; Charlottenburg, Schoneberg, Mitte (divided up into two maps, south of the River Spree and north of the River Spree), Prenzlauerberg, Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg, and even the "Versailles of Germany" Potsdam. The maps themselves include bars, clubs, restaurants, cafes, art galleries, shopping, and all the best sightseeing to be found in Berlin.

They have been placed on the Berlin City Tours website (www.BerlinCityTours.com) since it is one of the best internet portals for booking everything you will need for your Berlin trip. From accommodations to tours (bus tours, walking tours, bike tours, boat tours, and private tours) Berlin City Tours is the only website you will need to ensure you get the most out of your Berlin visit. Now in conjunction with Walk this Way interactive Berlin maps visiting the German capital just got one step easier.

The planned release date is September 6st, 2010.

Medicinal cigarette Manufacturer’s iphone smoke simulator Gets a Huge Welcome

Medicinal cigarettes are great boons to the smokers out there who are having a hard time to quit smoking. With the advancements in technology there is an innovative iphone simulator that is born which promises 100% harmless smoking experience.

Let it be the number of smokers out there or the number of them dying every year only because of smoking, the statistics about smoking around this planet is really disturbing. This is where the medicinal cigarette comes into picture. There is no scarcity for medicinal cigarettes online but the sad fact is that many of them out there are not realizing the fact that using the medicinal cigarette is equal to quitting smoking along with added health benefits. Now the new iphone smoke simulator application at the iphone apps store named iSmoker has created huge awareness among the smokers out there to use alternative medicinal cigarettes and safe smoking practices. “The new iphone smoke simulator is a fun application for all the smokers out there. This application simulates smoking and brings the virtual smoking experience. Virtual smoking means that it is 100% safe. The simulator is made so real that you can see the smoke puff as you exhale. Th
is gets you the real feeling of smoking” says Mr. Sammy Trujillo, one of the developers of this iphone application.

He added that, “It is not just the simulation of smoke that this iSmoker carries. We have added a virtual lighter and the smoker can smoke different types of cigarettes which includes a smoking pipe as well.”

Speaking about the technology used to get the real effect of smoking as you exhale, Sammy Trujillo explained, “we have made use of the microphone of the iphone to sense the exhalation and bring the smoke effect on the screen. The smoke on the screen is touch sensitive as well and so this will bring a very real smoking effect.”

There were a few controversies regarding this iphone smoke simulator that it promoted smoking. Sammy Trujillo’s answer cleared that misconception. He said, “This application doesn’t promote smoking but is really designed to create awareness among people about the alternative safe smoking that includes using the medicinal cigarette as well.”

On the move, Sammy Trujillo had to say, “Statistics indicate that smoking kills 400,000 people every year in the States. With the number of people using the iphone today keeps on increasing, we have great belief that this smoking simulator can save a lot of people from dying of smoking.”

This innovative approach to create awareness on the alternative smoking methods has received huge welcome online without doubt.
