Tim Wiford, Independent Candidate for President

Santa Fe, NM (PRWEB) February 21, 2012

The next great American visionary and President could very well be Independent Tim Wiford, a small business owner from Santa Fe, NM who has created honest, practical solutions for our Nation such as “A Smart Economy” and “One Standard of Justice.”

Wiford announced his candidacy for the White House to a small circle of friends on President’s Day and will be campaigning to get on the ballot in all 50 states as an Independent candidate.

In recent polls 80% of Americans said they would be willing to vote for an Independent with real solutions.

With the country facing record deficits, an ever-increasing national debt, a diminishing ability to solve our problems and keep our commitments, people are looking for smart solutions.

The candidate claims that A Smart Economy uses the power of innovation to bring new value into the economy – so much value that every American can have health and wellness care, education and vacations every year from this time forward.

In the current economic structure these outcomes would be too good to be true but in A Smart Economy, new possibilities exist. Or we can keep doing what we are doing now.

In the bigger picture A Smart Economy creates jobs, strengthens the Dollar, empowers us to pay off our national debt and restore Social Security to its original promise. It does all of this without raising taxes.

THE Smart Economy accomplishes this by first balancing the money system.

Wiford is not a politician or a corporate executive. He is a middle class American who goes to work everyday. For nearly 20 years he has worked on innovations that bring economic value into the life of every American by integrating higher values like truth, freedom and love into our social systems, such as the economic system and the justice system.

Now 46, he was initiated into the culture of Washington DC at the age of 19 when he interned for Bill Colby, former head of the CIA. His first job in Washington was as a fundraiser and lobbyist raising money for medical aid for the Afghan rebels.

He then worked in finance for a number of years and participated in a number of projects in and out of Washington DC until the year 2000 when he moved to Santa Fe where he started the Wiford Gallery in 2002.

Who will serve our nation best? What if an honest hard-working guy can own the problems of our Nation and solve the problems of our time? Do we elect a common man with extraordinary ideas or do we elect another politician?

‘Save the date’ wedding e card from www.katiescards.com

Teddington, Middlesex. Uk. (PRWEB) February 21, 2012

In the lead up to the main wedding season, Katie’s Cards has extended their large collection of over 170 ecards with brand new ‘save the date’ wedding note cards and a new Thank you note card. The new additions herald a new direction for the e card company, who plan to add additional categories for general note ecards, invitations and ‘save the date’ cards as well as more thank you, get well soon and generic ecards, to their collection in 2012.

The beautiful new wedding ‘save the date’ ecards both feature images of the bride and groom. One portrays a silhouette of the pair in an embrace while the other, more lighthearted design shows the pair driving off in their wedding car. The new thank you e card is tasteful and pretty with images of presents and flowers on it. All of the new cards allow the sender to add a personal message, which will appear on the design of the card itself, which will be used for the wedding day information or a personal message of thanks from the sender. The ‘save the date’ cards currently appear among the collection of 6 animated wedding e cards, but will be added to a section on their own. The thank you e card joins a collection of 10 other thank you cards with more planned throughout the year.

Katies Cards is a small, family run, ecard company who have created over 170 different e cards to suit all occasions, tastes and ages. They charge a small subscription fee in return for unlimited access to every card they create and are adding new cards and game-cards all of the time.

Chapel Show Room

(PRWEB UK) 21 February 2012

Looking for candles, a fragrance for the home, or a gift for that person who seems impossible to shop for? Then the Chapel Gift is the one stop site. It offers something for everyone, from church candles to home fragrances and accessories for the home. This new website offers everything from unique gifts, home decor and furnishings for you at affordable prices. The categories are extremely diverse and all offer quality products allowing customers to shop from home. The range includes candles, candle holders, home fragrance, home furnishings, kitchenware, outdoor living, gifts and wedding products.

With hundreds of new products added every week, visitors to the new site will be astonished at all that it has to offer and unlike many sites who offer an array of home accessory products potential customers will not be disappointed with the choices it has available online. According to the Chapel’s owner: “Our retail outlet customers were always telling us that they would love to buy our products online,” says Director, Simon Baker. This site has gone to great lengths to offer a vast range of quality products that will have you returning with excitement.

Although affordable prices are great it is often true that some websites are confusing to use when browsing. Many times it is just easier and less stressful to go to a high street shop or out of town store and pay a little more for the more pleasant shopping experience. However, the Chapel has an extremely easy, secure and accessible site, checking out is user friendly and all purchasers will benefit from prompt and quick delivery. Should there be a problem with a product or a question prior to purchase all of the Chapel’s employees are trained to offer prompt and courteous service. There is also the added reassurance that the Chapel is backed by the Salco Group established in 1866 which is one of the biggest importers of home accessories and gifts in the UK and is the exclusive distributor of the Landon Tyler range of products.

Romantic beach wedding at Aleenta Resort.

Bangkok, Thailand (PRWEB UK) 17 February 2012

Wedding dreams become reality as Aleenta Resorts launches its indispensable tailor-made guide to tying the knot in Thailand – offering useful tips, valuable insights and some wonderfully unique ideas and venues that once again raise the bar for intimate beachfront wedding occasions.

The Aleenta Weddings book (DOWNLOAD HERE), offers a creative and completely a la carte experience for couples, who are seamlessly guided through a host of imaginative and fun concepts at destinations renown for exquisite natural beauty, privacy and endless kilometres of untouched golden sands.

Dedicated personal wedding planners are on hand at the award-winning Aleenta Phuket-Phang Nga and Aleenta Hua Hin-Pranburi resorts, as well as sister resort Akaryn Samui, to offer couples the opportunity to release rare turtles, breakfast onboard a long tail boat, stroll along the beach with a baby elephant or simply say “I do” over a quiet glass of champagne.

The book caters to anything from two people up to a hundred as couples can choose from venues such as Grand Villa Air, a picturesque beachfront house, or Grand Villa Satis where 80 guests can roam the stunning gardens that spill onto a 20km stretch of pristine beach – offering intimacy, style, privacy and above all a day to remember.

Akaryn Samui offers intimate weddings and celebrations on Hanuman Bay, a stunning 500m stretch of beachfront, as well as a spacious lawn area at the edge of the golden sands, ideally suited to small, romantic events and where there are 52 luxurious pool residences available to guests.

Each resort is picture perfect, yet fully equipped to cater to all wedding needs. Ocean views are ubiquitous, as is Aleenta’s concept of ‘Outside Living – In’ so wedding parties will experience nature’s charms alongside all the rewards of an exclusive, five-star resort.

Dive into Aleenta’s exquisitely designed guide and discover anything is possible; the resorts can be hired in their entirety exclusively for a wedding and are happy to provide any style of ceremony in any faith and in any language.

The Aleenta Weddings guide will whet appetites on how the perfect day will be achieved – bursting with details on everything from flower decorations, finding the right music and organising a candlelit ceremony to talented local photographers who seamlessly blend the resorts’ stunning natural backdrops into wedding photos, to make-up artists and how to find the perfect wedding dress created by top local designers.

“This book is a celebration of one of the most important days of our lives – our wedding day,” says Aleenta Resorts managing director Anchalika Kijkanakorn, who held her own wedding at Aleenta Phuket-Phang Nga. “Our resorts are made for celebrations, and we’re thrilled to be able to offer this book that will leave couples in no doubt Aleenta will make each and every wedding dream a reality.”

The Aleenta Weddings guide further demonstrates that there’s more to a wedding than the day itself. Spa IV for example makes a superb setting for the ‘hens’ to gather. The ‘stags’ aren’t forgotten – organise a private cookery lesson with talented chefs – what better way for the groom to surprise his new bride. And as couples rejoice in their new life together they can commemorate the occasion by releasing endangered leatherback turtles back into the wild.

An Aleenta wedding presents the perfect opportunity to tie in the holiday of a lifetime with spending time with your loved ones. Couples can read in the guide how once they’re here, they’re already in the idyllic honeymoon destination; they can luxuriate in deluxe suites, enjoy mouth-watering gourmet meals and experience the highest quality service and hospitality for even longer.

The guide is the ultimate preview to the wedding of a lifetime. When a couple declare their vows at an Aleenta wedding they do so against a background of ocean views, beautiful sandy beaches and the rhythm of the crashing waves – together, Aleenta will make it the best day of their lives.

Small, intimate, romantic weddings and celebrations are also offered in exquisite beachfront style at Aleenta Resort’s sister property in Koh Samui – Akaryn Samui – which will be opening along a private 500m beach in March this year. The 52 pool-residence resort is perfect for couples looking for a Koh Samui wedding experience – where Buddhist weddings along with other denominations are managed in seamless style courtesy of the resorts’ dedicated wedding planning team.

The Holiday Inn Boston/Woburn today and the dctDesigns architectural rendering of its new look as Crowne Plaza Hotel Boston/Woburn.

Woburn, MA (PRWEB) February 20, 2012

The Holiday Inn Boston/Woburn is in the midst of a multi-million dollar renovation as the hotel, located off Route 128 on Middlesex Canal Park in Woburn, completes its transformation to an upscale Crowne Plaza Hotel featuring 196 remodeled guest rooms, including four luxury two bedroom suites, 9,000 square feet of renovated meeting space, and a new 260-seat sports bar and grille.

Phase one of the conversion focused on the hotel’s Scoreboard Sports Bar & Grill restaurant, completely remodeled for the fall 2011 football season with 40 HD TVs.

Phase two focuses on updating the hotel’s exterior and aging lobby. In this phase, remodeled meeting and ballrooms will also be outfitted with the latest teleconferencing, sound, and audiovisual technologies. Custom-designed guest rooms will be equipped with luxury showers and sophisticated, boutique-style décor.

Completion is expected by September 2012 when the hotel is branded as the Crowne Plaza Boston/Woburn. Intercontinental Hotels Group operates Crowne Plaza Hotels and Resorts, the fourth largest upscale hotel chain in the world.

David Masse purchased the Holiday Inn Boston/Woburn in 2008 and invested over seven million dollars in the hotel. Masse is the CEO of Compass Realty Associates, LLC and Managing Partner of Panther Properties Investment located in the 128 Trade Center in Woburn.

Masse said the hotel’s location, next to Showcase Cinemas along I-95/Rt 128, is an ideal spot for business travelers and meetings. The hotel’s upgrades have been made with frequent business travelers in mind. “They expect more from their hotel and will get those extra amenities thanks to extensive guest room, meeting and ballroom renovations, “ Masse said.

Over 150,000 cars drive by the hotel every day according to Masse who said weekend visitors such as families touring Boston will reap the benefits of the upgrade. Masse said the new Crowne Plaza Hotel will be a totally different place when the renovation is completed.

The 196-room full-service hotel, which also has an indoor pool and fitness center, will designate the fourth floor for VIP guests with a concierge and multi-media lounge offering complimentary breakfast and evening hors d’oeuvres.

Masse said the Scoreboard Sports Bar and Grill has made a financial turnaround since it changed from an Italian restaurant in 2010. Catering to hotel guests and core customers who live nearby, the American grill restaurant has a laid back vibe and is decorated with a Boston sports theme. Entertainment is offered five nights a week including live bands and karaoke.

Lynda Onthank, ASID, of Onthank Designs in Natick, MA, designed Scoreboard’s interior using bamboo flooring and bright color combinations to divide the lounge, restaurant and dance floor.

She said her hotel design infuses transitional classical elements with a modern flair. “The guest rooms have high-end boutique hotel features,” she said referring to the padded headboards, luxury bedding, cherry console desks, 42” flat screen TVs, and walk-in showers with sliding glass doors. Draperies have given way to sheers and hardwood flooring replaces dated carpets. Changes for the Grand and Middlesex Ballrooms as well as meeting and lobby areas incorporate new lighting, flooring, furniture, and wall and window treatments.

The exterior façade of the hotel is receiving a total makeover by Dean Temple, of dctDesigns, an architectural firm in Shrewsbury, MA. “I was challenged with taking a 1970s building built with glass and aluminum siding and giving it a modern appeal using color, depth and shape,” he said. Temple said his design has a commercial look to blend with neighboring businesses. Temple also redesigned the entrance’s porte cochere and is collaborating with Onthank on lobby and guest room renovations.

Frank Vento, the hotel’s general manager, said his team has worked diligently to keep customers happy throughout the renovation. “Customer service has always been our hallmark. I’ve been in the hospitality business for over 25 years and it’s exciting to be operating a hotel that is being reengineered to focus on amenities and design elements that business and leisure travelers value most in overnight accommodations.”

About Holiday Inn Boston/Woburn

The Holiday Inn Boston/Woburn was recognized by the Intercontinental Hotel Group as the most improved hotel in guest satisfaction. The full-service Woburn hotel is a home base for Boston family and sports vacations or business meetings and conferences in the Boston area. Located 12 miles from Boston and six miles northeast of historic Lexington, the hotel has 196 guest rooms with free Wi-Fi, 9,000 square feet of renovated meeting space, and a new 260-seat sports bar and grill. The hotel will be converted to the Crowne Plaza Boston/Woburn in 2012. For more information, visit http://www.hotelbostonwoburn.com.
