Push Aside the Recession and Find Your Golden Egg This Easter

London, England (PRWEB) March 30, 2009

Headlines these days are dominated by news of the global recession, which shows little sign of improvement despite the staggering amount of money pumped into the economy by the Obama administration. Many people are having to deal with the hard reality of pay-cuts and layoffs, and as Easter draws near it appears that holiday celebrations will not be very golden this year.

Amid this financial climate of frugal spending and justified hesitation over how and where to invest, online gaming seems to be less affected and still thrives. As an industry, it has the added value of low overhead costs and an eagerness to encourage light punters, with higher payout amounts than those in Vegas!

Award-winning Casino Tropez is a fully licensed online casino that has been in operation since 2000, and is the flagship brand for the Playtech group. (Traded under PTEC on the LSE.)

Between April 9-12 Casino Tropez will be giving members a chance to receive unlimited bonuses on all deposits made. A special scavenger hunt has also been set up, with extra bonuses awarded to those who find a golden egg.

As an added treat, Casino Tropez has teamed up with the online gaming specialists, Elite Challenge, to create a live tournament taking place Easter weekend. By playing any Video Poker game during the promotional period, players are automatically entered into the live tournament, which has an $ 8,000 prize total.

Casino Manager, Renee Pascale commented, “The current global financial situation has forced many people to curb their spending habits, and that includes social spending”. Renee continued, “However, with websites such as Facebook and Twitter having become central socializing platforms, we recognize that we too can offer a more social aspect to online gambing through our Chat feature.”

About Casino Tropez:

CasinoTropez.com is an industry leader and offers one of the largest Welcome Bonuses on the net – an amazing €3,000! The casino has outstanding Loyalty and VIP programs, generous promotions, free bonus offers and a professional and friendly 24/7 customer support team.

Wingstop Honors Chain-wide Producers with Golden Goose Awards
#1 Chicken Wing Chain Salutes Top Brand Partners at 2005 National Convention

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) April 28, 2005

Jim Flynn, Wingstop CEO, announced today the chain’s honorees from its 2005 national convention. Each honoree received a ‘Golden Goose’ representing the chain’s mascot. The goose has long been the chain’s mascot, chosen because geese fly together in unison, should one fall out of order, the others pick up the pace. A symbol of the company’s unity, the goose debuted for the first time in the form of an oscar-type award at this year’s convention.

Rex Heckleman, who has been a part of Wingstop from the very beginning and instrumental in developing the brand and several of its proprietary recipes, received a Golden Goose for the Lifetime Achievement award.

“I’m glad they’ve developed the Golden Goose award,” said Heckleman. “Not only is it something to be proud of and display in your store, but it reminds us all of the team work involved in this business and the fact that we have a golden business here. When we do our jobs right, our stores do lay golden eggs.”

A celebration of a momentous year, Wingstop’s 2005 convention concluded last week. The chain took a look back at 2004, a year in which Wingstop was recognized for their quality product. Wingstop was ranked the no. 1 Chicken Wing Chain by Entrepreneur magazine and also took first place for its “Extra Hot Sauce”, Atomic, at the National Buffalo Wing Festival.

“We are very proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish together with our brand partners,” said Flynn. “We plan to maintain this momentum as we move into new markets across the U.S. this year.”

Nick Nardello of Elmwood Park, Ill. was honored as the ‘Single Unit Operators of the Year’, and Steve Fortunato and Gary Henderson in Augusta, Ga. received the ‘Multi Unit Operators of the Year’ award.

The ‘Top Sales for 2004’ award went to Charles Loflin of San Antonio, Texas. Todd Murrah’s Garland, Texas locations came in second, and Lela Nauls in San Antonio came in third.

Danny Patel in Long Beach, Calif. won ‘Highest % Sales Increase’ and ‘Highest $ Sales Increase’.

Henry Van in Houston, Texas won the Mystery Shopper award, an award in which franchisee stores were secretly shopped multiple times over a six month period. Van received a $ 5,000 vacation package.

Wingstop Ambassador awards went to Deborah Brown, Paul Leonard and Todd Metten. Additionally, Charles Loflin and Todd Murrah became members of the ‘Million Dollar Club’. The Houston Wingslingers were named ‘Advertising Co-op of the Year’ for the second year in a row. ‘Vendor of the Year’ went to Renfro Foods, Inc.

Wingstop has 400 restaurants either open or under development in 25 states and consistently tops industry growth rankings. This July, Wingstop was ranked number four in Restaurants & Institutions’ ‘Top 400 Sales-Growth Leaders’ (the only wing chain in the top ten). Also in July, Wingstop ranked number seven in Restaurant Business’ ‘Top 50 Growth Chains’ (ranked by percentage increase in units) and number three in their list of chains by increase in average unit volume. Troy Aikman, former Dallas Cowboy and Super Bowl MVP, signed on as the chain’s national spokesman in 2003.

Homemade Desserts Dazzle with Fresh Blueberries

Sonoma, CA (Vocus) February 24, 2010

Homemade desserts get a flavor and nutrition boost with the addition of fresh blueberries. Requiring no extra cutting, peeling or pitting blueberries offer a wonderfully easy taste and nutrition upgrade to any dessert, and thanks to an abundant supply of fresh blueberries from Chile, Americans can now enjoy these tasty blueberries all winter long.

A dearly beloved winter comfort food — sweet warm bread pudding — just got hitched to a fresh luscious summer-loving fruit: Blueberries. Fresh whole blueberries sparkle like jewels in a crown amid pillowy mounds of vanilla-scented custard-drenched bread dough in this brand new delectable dessert recipe. Best of all, it looks and tastes like a lot more work than it really is. Simply cut the French bread into squares, add to the custard ingredients and top with fresh blueberries.

Gorgeous Mini Blueberry Tarts look impressive, but are super easy to prepare. Pile luscious fresh blueberries onto a dollop of sweet custard nestled in mini puff pastry cups and you’ve got a sweet little treat that can swing from mid-morning brunch to afternoon coffee to after dinner dessert. A glaze of orange marmalade and a confetti of orange zest add a citrusy splash to the delicate flavor of the fresh blueberries. Blueberries give you a shortcut because they need no pitting, peeling or chopping. They’re good to go as is. Blueberries from Chile, where it’s summer when it’s winter here make this delicious dish a year round favorite.

Why stop here? Impress your guests with your mindful additional of blueberries. “In addition to providing a healthy bounty of antioxidants — which are proven to prevent cellular aging and offer protection against memory loss, stroke and several types of cancer — blueberries also lower the risk of heart disease,” says Dr. Steven Pratt, a noted nutrition expert and author of the book SuperFoodsRx.

Arne Jacobsen’s Egg Chair Celebrates Golden Anniversary

St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) September 25, 2008

The Egg Chair, designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1958, epitomizes modern classic Danish furniture design. Jacobsen was commissioned to design the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, and designed the unique and enduring Egg Chair for the lobby. The Egg Chair shares the Royal Hotel with other famous Jacobsen designs like the Swan Chair, also referred to as the Shuttle Chair, as well as the Drop Chair and Giraffe Chair that never become part of standard production. Even though the Egg Chair was designed for the Royal Hotel, it has gone on to become a timeless classic piece of modern furniture.

The unique design of the Egg Chair was typical of Jacobsen’s style. He often used unique and new materials in his pieces and was not afraid to take risks. Some have speculated that the Egg was inspired by Eero Saarinen’s Womb Chair, also referred to as the Wombat Chair, as they vaguely share some characteristics. Nonetheless, the Egg Chair’s features cause some to suggest that it is a more comprehensive design than the Womb Chair.

The sleek design and organic shape comfortably cups the sitter and allows him to swivel. At the same time, the high wing back provides for some privacy. The Egg has appeared in advertisements, movies, and television since its creation. Among some of the more famous celebrities to “crack” the Egg were Marilyn Monroe in a legendary photo shoot, Brigitte Bardot on the cover of Vogue in the 1960s, and Michelle Pfiefer on the cover of Esquire Magazine earlier this year.

The anniversary of the Egg has created a renewed demand for the classic model. Thomas Peroutka, owner of Ruks Living, has noticed a dramatic increase in demand for the Starship Chair, which is a high quality replica of the Egg Chair. Peroutka states, “While the Starship Chair has always been one of our top selling pieces, this year we have sold a significant amount of them.” In celebration of 50 years of the Egg, RuksLiving.com is offering the Starship Chair for the discounted price of $ 1,499 upholstered in wool and $ 1,899 upholstered in Italian leather.

“The Starship Chair has a retro design that is sophisticated and comfortable making it perfect for the home or the office.” Peroutka continues, “It is rare to have such a complete combination of comfort and style in one chair.”

Ruks Living offers a range of affordable furnishings such as the Arne Jacobsen inspired Starship Chair and Shuttle Chair and the Eero Saarinen inspired Wombat Chair. For more information about RuksLiving.com, please contact Thomas Peroutka at 877-374-RUKS(7857) or e-mail tom(at)ruksliving.com.

About Ruks Living

The company’s goal is to offer high quality furniture at affordable prices.

The Easter Bunny is Real: Child Found $ 100 in Easter Egg

Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) April 22, 2006

It was Easter morning and among the estimated three thousand kids and their families that attended the 14th Annual Easter Egg Hunt put on by the Clearwater Community Volunteers, two little girls, ages 6 and 8, were bubbling over with excitement. They had traveled all the way from Largo by bus to the huge Easter Egg Hunt at Coachman Park in downtown Clearwater. They knew they would be able to scoop up candy from some of those thousands of eggs scattered across the park, but they when they arrived they found to their delight that there was also a $ 100 bill in one of those eggs.

There were so many things they needed. What they could do with that $ 100! So the little girls prayed.

“My daughter found the egg with the hundred dollar bill in it,” the stunned mother told one of event volunteers. “We came from Largo on the bus and my little girl prayed for money.”

Now they could go to Wal-Mart to buy one of the little girls her birthday present.

A thousand dollars, mostly in 20 dollar bills and some 50’s, were scattered in the 10,000 plastic eggs that covered Coachman Park on Easter morning. Some children also found golden eggs and won adorable stuffed bunnies — 170 of the cuddly creatures were handed out.

“We were impressed with all the eggs,” said Debi Dapice, another Largo resident and employee at Belleair Coins and Gold, who came with her husband Nick, a Target employee, and their 2-year-old daughter to enjoy the fun. “There’s horse rides. There’s face painting. There’s a petting zoo. There’s everything! It’s great!”

Abigail Doerges, age 4, is a veteran of the Clearwater Easter Egg Hunt. “We’ve come every year for the last three years, since Abigail could toddle,” said her mother Jaqueline, who has lived in Clearwater for eight years.

The 14th annual Easter Egg Hunt put on by the Clearwater Community Volunteers, an auxiliary group of the Church of Scientology. Several local businesses joined in to support the event along with the 50 volunteers who spend most of Easter day stuffing plastic eggs with candy and prizes; setting up the park; supervising the activities and cleaning up after everyone else has gone home.

Among the business that supported the event were Starbucks, Constant Cravings, Tony’s Pizzeria & Ristorante, Home Depot, Sam’s Club, Krispy Kreme and Fast Signs. All donated goods, materials and their time to support the community event.

“Clearwater Community Volunteers has been dedicated to helping the community since 1994. Over the years we’ve held many events and raised money for a variety of charities and helped with cleaning up the environment but this Easter event is one of our favorites. The look on the kids faces when they race out to grab the candy or when one of them finds a golden egg is priceless,” said Joanie Sigal, Clearwater Community Volunteers chairperson.

About Scientology:

Scientology is an applied religious philosophy. It is a religion based on the works of L. Ron Hubbard. He has described his philosophies in more than 5,000 writings, including dozens of books, and three thousand tape recorded lectures. Those who regularly employ his teachings to improve themselves and help their fellows come from all walks of life. For more information, visit http://www.scientology.org
