(PRBuzz.com) May 24, 2013 -- Dirty carpets are not only unsightly, but they can affect the health of residents. Foul carpets release bacteria, germs and dust into the air and lowering its quality or activating allergies. Every now and again a homeowner needs to rely on a professional carpet cleaner instead of the old vacuum.

No other method of carpet cleaning is as effective as steaming. Steam cleaning defeats those stains, even the oldest marks, and the grosses smells that the vacuum cleaner, brushes, deodorizers, solutions, and turbo dryers can't touch. A rug which has benefited from a thorough carpet cleaning will improve everyone's demeanor. Not only is it healthier and more hygienic, but if the house looks sharp, those who live their feel better. A clean rug is not only more appealing, but will last longer than a carpet that is not taken care of and serviced regularly. The deep clean of the steamer overwhelmingly outperforms the superficial efforts of the vacuum cleaner.

(PRBuzz.com) May 24, 2013 -- Outskirts Press announces the latest highly anticipated action and adventure fiction from Katonah, NY, author Harold J. Hovel.

Denver, CO, and Katonah, NY - Outskirts Press, Inc. has published Combat With Pirates: The Adventures of Admiral Napoleon and the Independent Fleet by Harold J. Hovel. The author's most recent book to date is a 6 x 9 paperback in the action and adventure fiction category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Combat With Pirates is also available in a 6 x 9 hardback edition with jacket. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/combatwithpirates was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.

It was the Golden Age of Piracy, with killers and cutthroats by the hundreds, a time when some of the most evil pirates in history lived, plundered, and murdered in the late 1600's. In Combat with Pirates these marauders find their nemesis in a small dog named Napoleon, who starts from nothing to build an invincible navy manned by a crew of men and women, Africans and Indians, dogs, cats, chimpanzees, gorillas, bears, jaguars, eagles, whales, sharks, and dolphins. From the capture of a single pirate ship, they build the Independent Fleet, which sails the world's oceans, fighting evil where they find it. Their travels put them into conflict with pirates, the forces of slavery, the evils of whaling, the cruelty of animal fighting, the Spanish Inquisition, and outlaws on land and sea who commit torture and murder.

Combat with Pirates is a swashbuckling story of hand-to-hand (and hand-to-paw) combat, battles between single warships, between squadrons, and between entire fleets -- a navy of people and animals acting together in total harmony and purpose. Along the way, love stories unfold, and the crew encounters spies, traitors, and undercover agents. Earthquakes, tsunamis, and ocean storms add to the danger, and rip-roaring action fills the life and times of Admiral Napoleon and the Independent Fleet. Heroes come in all shapes, sizes, genders, and species in this memorable and adventurous novel.

601 pages in length, Combat With Pirates: The Adventures of Admiral Napoleon and the Independent Fleet is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the action and adventure fiction category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Combat With Pirates meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $21.95 and $32.95 for the paperback and hardback editions, respectively.

Additionally, Combat With Pirates can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press Direct bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/bookstore.

Launching on Father's Day, PRIME TIME DADS: 45 Reasons to Embrace Midlife Fatherhood

Provides Hope, Inspiration, and Laughs to Later-Blooming Dads and the Women Who Love Them

Palo Alto, California (PRBuzz.com) May 24, 2013 -- "When faced with first-time fatherhood at the age of 49, I didn't know whether to celebrate with champagne... or hemlock. But it's turned out to be the best thing I've ever done," writes author Len Filppu in PRIME TIME DADS: 45 Reasons to Embrace Midlife Fatherhood to be released on Father's Day, June 16, 2013.

The new non-fiction parenting book puts forth in humorous, heartfelt, real-life essays the radical notion that mature men are well-suited for the foxhole of fatherhood, and that rather than being just better late than never, midlife fatherhood can actually be better later.

Filppu, a regular blogger for Huffington Post Parents, is father to a healthy and thriving 13-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter. He understands that later-in-life fatherhood is not for everyone. "Midlife fatherhood is not for the faint-hearted, frail, or fumbling," he said. "It's for those with a big appetite for life, a life that can sometimes teeter on the frazzled edge. Around our house, it's often more like Ozzie Osbourne than Ozzy and Harriet."

PRIME TIME DADS, published by Bright Lights Press (www.brightlightspress.com) of Palo Alto, California, launches on Father's Day, June 16, 2013, and will be available as a print book for $14.95 and as an ebook for $9.99 through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and most other major book retailers. To order the book, go here: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_10?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=len+filppu&sprefix=len+filppu%2Caps%2C306.

Larry King Weighs In
Broadcast legend and late blooming father Larry King said of the book, "Later life fatherhood keeps me young, keeps me vital, and makes me feel relevant each and every day. I urge you to read PRIME TIME DADS. Its point of view is young and vital and relevant each and every page."

Many Benefits of Midlife Fatherhood
"I discovered with great surprise--and even greater relief--that as a mature man, I could tap into my accumulated reservoir of life experiences and skills to help me be an effective father," said Filppu. "For example, since I've already sowed my wild oats, I'm no longer driven by youthful passing passions. I know myself better and I'm more ready to settle down to family life."

"I'm more patient, empathetic, compassionate, and wise," continued Filppu. "I have greater job flexibility so I can juggle my schedule to spend more time with my kids. And a bit more money and experience solving problems certainly helps keep things afloat."

Addressing life's ultimate question, Filppu said, "And because I've seen more of death and am closer to its inevitability, my appreciation for life is keener. I know I don't have forever, so instead of mindlessly postponing doing things with my children and putting off those seemingly mundane parental moments, I make a conscious effort every single day to engage fully with my kids. All these attributes, and more, of the mature man aid in my ability to parent and directly benefit my children."

Not Just for Men
While PRIME TIME DADS is must reading for men of all ages contemplating fatherhood, it's also relevant for the women who love them, and makes the perfect gift for any mature man who could use an encouraging, enlightening word about later-blooming fatherhood.

Best-selling author Adriana Trigiana (http://www.adrianatrigiani.com/) said of the book, "Len Filppu has written a hilarious, heartfelt, and fresh take on midlife fatherhood in PRIME TIME DADS. This is a superb how-to manual for parents everywhere. It's also the perfect gift for the man in your life. Brimming with common sense and filled with helpful hints, it's a celebration of fatherhood written by a dad who clearly loves every moment of it. A home run!"

David Carnoy, Executive Editor of CNET, author of The Big Exit and co-author of Fathers of a Certain Age: The Joys and Problems of Middle-Aged Fatherhood said, "PRIME TIME DADS takes a fun, optimistic look at what it's like to be an 'older' father. While this book is geared toward men aged around 40 or so, women who are involved with so-called 'reluctant dads' would be wise to leave it out in a conspicuous place where it might be easily discovered."

Then a "no obligation" free estimate will be provided. This is how Pro Plumbers Phoenix is earning the reputation as the most affordable and reliable Pheonix plumbers.

A special offer of $79 flat rate drain cleaning is now being made available. They are also providing up front pricing to make it easy for consumers to know what they are getting into before agreeing to Phoenix plumbing repair. "We are offering this plumbing service discount so everybody can afford the best plumbing service provider," says Jim of Pro Plumbers Phoenix. They can have an experienced Phoenix plumber on site within an hour in most cases according to Jim. "If the drain is backed up or the hot water isn't working the need for a fast Phoenix plumber is immediate. Our goal is to make all of our customers 100% happy. "In fact" Jim says, "We have a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee".

A popular ongoing special for customers is their Advantage Program. This offers many additional discounts and benifits to regular or repeat customers. A quick search for Phoenix plumber reviews on Google reveals that many people feel gouged by the plumber they hire. "We strive for 100% complete customer satisfaction because 90% of our customers are repeat customers. We know if we treat people right they will come back to us for their entire plumbing repair needs," says Jim.

Pro Plumbers Phoenix also offers specialized plumbing services such as trenchless sewer repair and hydro-jetting, these technologies are used to fix and replacement main sewer laterals. "Most small Scottsdale, Masa, Glendale, Tempe, or even Phoenix plumbers don't have the specialized equipment we have to do the jobs we do. We invest in the best equipment so we can get the job done quickly and done right, which saves our customers money," says Jim. A lot of the calls Pro Plumbers Phoenix gets are from people who have quoted a job by another plumber, but they want a second opinion. "We are happy to provide people with competitive quotes for plumbing service. We provide free second opinions."

One of the most popular Phoenix Valley plumbing service discounts currently being offered by Pro Plumbers Phoenix is their $79 drain cleaning coupon. "Every time we offer drain cleaning for $79 we get a huge response. A lot of the calls we get are from people who called a plumber out for service and the price much higher than advertised," says Jim. This is very popular with the 24 hour plumber Phoenix service.

Pro Plumbers Phoenix is also currently offering major discounts on a new tankless water heater. The discounts are applicable to removal of the old water, installation of the new water heater and any associated water or gas lines. "When the hot water isn't working people usually want to get it fixed as quickly as possible but they don't want to get gouged. We send an experienced Phoenix plumber on site. Our goal is to see if we can fix the water before just replacing it. If a new water heater is needed or the customer wants to upgrade to a tankless hot water heater we provide a free estimate for the installation," says Jim.

(PRBuzz.com) May 28, 2013 -- Baby Boomer Media is proud to present advice from Andrea Boidman, the Executive Director of the Hearing Health Foundation in New York City. May is Better Hearing and Speech Month and Andrea took the time to discuss hearing prevention and research with Stacey Doyle of Baby Boomer Media.

May 28, 2013 -- Hearing health is a major concern for Americans since only 16% of doctors regularly test for hearing loss. Most people do not discover they have hearing loss until 7 to 10 years later. May is Better Hearing and Speech Month. Baby Boomer Media interviewed Andrea Boidman, Executive Director of the Hearing Health Foundation in NYC, to find out more about preventing hearing loss and the latest research.

Andrea Boidman offered sage advice for caregivers about detecting hearing loss in older people and children. There are telltale signs that can help caregivers determine someone they love might be facing hearing loss. Getting their hearing tested right away can help to ward off depression, isolation and other health conditions. Baby Boomer Media also discussed how to prevent hearing loss including the level of decibels that can lead to hearing problems. Testing and prevention can help people to avoid partial or complete hearing loss.

Baby Boomer Media asked Andrea about the research being funded by the Hearing Health Foundation. A fascinating research project on the hair cells in mammals' ears could lead to a cure for hearing loss within a decade. In the meantime, there are treatment options for hearing loss and tinnitus that can give people relief. People are encouraged to take the Hearing Health Foundation pledge to have their hearing tested. Baby Boomer Media readers are also given additional links to valuable information about hearing loss and research.

(PRBuzz.com) May 28, 2013 -- Both Genders Weigh In

The recent hullabaloo surrounding charged remarks made by golfer Sergio Garcia against rival Tiger Woods have the media abuzz with a range of reactions from intrigue to indifference to disgust. These two athletes are certainly not the first competitors to tangle on the sidelines. So ... how do men and women react to these sorts of controversies? We asked two of our patrons to weigh in with their thoughts.

His Take

I don't see what the big deal is. Guys love a good feud! Just think of the epic fights on the hockey rink or the war of words that can erupt between classic rivalries like the Red Sox and the Yankees. Rivalry creates motivation and victory is sweeter when there's a healthy dose of conflict leading up to the big win. And fans get into the mix, too - I know I'm at the ready to defend of my favorite team and players. It's all part of the game!

When famous athletes begin to mix things up, my attention is riveted. What will happen when the players meet next? Will more harsh words be exchanged? Will it all blow over? That's something I want to watch even as while I'm watching the game or match.

Trash talk also makes great bulletin board material in the locker room. Nothing stokes the desire to pull off a win like a personal grudge match. In the end, it's all about competition, and how it plays out is as exciting for me as a fan as it is to the athletes themselves. It keeps things interesting and it keeps me tuned in.

Her Take

Not to say that women aren't every bit the rabid sports fans that men are, but I think what happens when the game is over is all about the personalities involved. Athletes as celebrities are as interesting when the game ends as when it's being played, and their behavior influences how I -- and my friends - view them. Why else would so many women subscribe to People magazine?

Being in the public eye leads to close scrutiny of a celebrity's every action and comment. Living under the microscope has to be tiring. Occasionally someone's guard slips and they end up in the spotlight. After all, at the end of the day, athletes are people just like us, aren't they?

It all depends on the situation, but my sympathies run with the person I perceive as wronged. Athletes behaving badly are great drama. I wait with bated breath to see how things will play out and whose reputation will take a hit. Ultimately, sports feuds affect my impression of athletes as people - not just as sports figures.

(PRBuzz.com) May 28, 2013 -- During the month of April, Medfield's spring market continued to bloom. These warm spring months make up the prime open house season. Take advantage of the warm weather by either holding or attending an open house. If you are a seller, now is the time to showcase your home. If you are a buyer, attending many open houses can help you weed out what you do and do not want in a home.

Seven single family homes were sold this past month.. Currently, 43 homes remain on the market for sale and another 21 homes are under agreement, waiting to close. Compared to last years' statistics the numbers are identical as far as amount of homes sold and current houses on the market however, the difference is that in April 2012 there were no homes under agreement. This means that there are more buyers out there and homes are selling fast.

The following listings represent the highs and lows of the transactions that occurred during April 2013. Taking a closer look at the averages provides a valuable overview of the market during this period. The range of homes sold this past month include everything from a 3 bedroom 2 full bath listed for $429,900 which sold for $415,000 to a 5 bedroom 3 full and 1 half bath listed for $1,339,000 which sold for $1,304,500. The average listing price of a single family home sold in Medfield during April was $684,836 while the average sale price was $662,075. To reiterate, these are averages, and the gap between asking price and sale price is very unique to each home. There is barely a 3% differential, which suggests that homes are being priced for successful, quick sales in these market conditions.

The average days on market for single family homes in Medfield this past month was 170 days. However, 7 of the 11 homes, or over 50% of the properties that sold in April 2013, sold in less than 170 days. This is a large contrast to what April 2012's stats revealed, as homes sat on the market for over 200 days, on average.

Searching for the perfect home to call your own includes many factors. Buyers must carefully research properties, as it will aid them in making appropriate offers. Your real estate agent should guide you through the offer process based on facts and figures. Buyers must be conscious of the offers they are making since the market has shifted to new territory; there are many multiple offer situations, something that has not been prevalent in the past years. When compared to the amount of buyers entering the market at this time, inventory is low. Now is the time to list your home, as finally, the buyers are out there!

(PRBuzz.com) May 28, 2013 -- (Shrewsbury, MA) - Dr. Todd Pizzi will now provide KöR Whitening as an option to patients who wish to brighten their smiles at both practices, Modern Dentistry of Shrewsbury and Stoughton Dental Group. It is the newest, most effective deep bleaching technique.

KöR Whitening is a comfortable easy process with little to no sensitivity. The results are permanent; a beautiful, healthy, natural looking white result, lasting a lifetime.

Even the hardest to whiten teeth have met their match with KöR. Dr. Rod Kurthy developed KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching to erase troubled stains. Teeth that are grayish in color, known as Tetracycline stained teeth, revealing enamel damage, can now be whitened with the KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching system. The whitening trays are specially molded after a simple visit to the dentist office to ensure an ultra-comfortable 2 week whitening process.

This system works by restoring the teeth's ability to absorb oxygen. The oxygen from the whitening gel is absorbed deeply into each tooth. Unlike other whitening methods, the KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching ™ System is entirely permanent with easy periodic home maintenance. It is considered to be the most reliable and effective bleaching system ever developed.

Ideally, the younger the teeth are the more brilliantly they will whiten. However, this system will rejuvenate older teeth, even if you are 90 years old! KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching™ System often dramatically whitens teeth up to 16 shades or more. Additionally, no matter how white, the look achieved will never make real teeth appear unnatural.

Dr. Pizzi is excited about introducing this to his patients, "The [KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching] system is revolutionary. The result it yields is unprecedented in comparison to others I have used in the past. As a Dentist all I would ever want for my patients is to help them achieve the most beautiful, healthy smile - this system will help me do just that!"
