Blue Echo Solutions announced today it has reduced the price of the award winning hd EZ lock, the patent pending Universal Locking HDMI Adapter by 25% to $14.95 a pair.

Lakewood, WA, November 05, 2009 — Blue Echo Solutions, Inc., the manufacturer of the patent pending hd EZ lock, announced today a 25% price reduction on its hd EZ lock
Universal Locking HDMI Cable Adapter. hd EZ lock, winner of a 2009 CES Innovations Award, is now available at a price of $14.95 for a pair. Dealer and Distributor pricing have also been reduced.

“Thanks to the support we’ve received from our early adopters, both on a retail and wholesale level, Blue Echo Solutions has been able to negotiate better manufacturing costs with our US Manufacturer, which has allowed us to pass the price savings on to our customers” says Tony Eppright, President of BlueEchoSolutions.

More and more HDMI Cable Manufacturers are beginning to address the issues with the HDMI Connection, namely a fragile HDMI Connector that can be damaged easily from stress, and a problem with HDMI Connections causing intermittent signal dropouts or becoming completely disconnected. Most of the solutions address the cable becoming disconnected, but many of them do nothing to address the damage that can be caused to an HDMI Component by the stress placed on the HDMI Input. hd EZ lock addresses both issues, by securing one’s HDMI Cable to prevent signal dropouts and disconnects caused by a loose HDMI Cable or loose connection, and by eliminating Stress on the HDMI Input by supporting the HDMI Cable from the component’s chassis.

In addition to this, most solutions available require the purchase of a specific brand of HDMI Cable. hd EZ lock is the only adapter available that secures the HDMI Cable and eliminate stress while using the HDMI Cable of choice, as hd EZ lock works universally with most HDMI Cables and HDMI Components on the market.

hd EZ lock typically installs in a couple of minutes or less, allows easy changing of HDMI Cables after installation, and is reusable if the HDMI Cables or Components are changed.

hd EZ lock has helped many of users to:

Eliminate Intermittent Signal dropouts due to a poor HDMI Connection
Remedy an intermittent Signal due to a fragile HDMI Connector by eliminating stress on the HDMI Input
Keep HDMI Cables from coming disconnected when moving components
Gain peace of mind in knowing that once an HDMI Connection is secured with hd EZ lock, there is no need to worry about damaging the HDMI Input or having to track down a problem HDMI Connection due to the physical connection

hd EZ lock™ is designed to work with most HDMI Cables on the market, and with most HDMI Components by using either the fixing screw above or below the HDMI Input, or with the supplied 3m Very High Bond (VHB) adhesive. hd EZ lock is designed, engineered and manufactured in the USA.

Peter Jones dubbed it the “best invention I’ve seen on Dragons’ Den”; the inventor made history by having all five Dragons falling over themselves trying to invest, and this Christmas trueCall is set to take the consumer technology market by storm!

Peter Jones with trueCall

Fans of the popular BBC show ‘Dragons’ Den’ will already be familiar with trueCall, the ‘life altering’ device that allows the user to screen their phonecalls after witnessing entrepreneur Steve Smith making history by igniting the flames of all five Dragons as they battled to invest in his invention. Eventually Steve accepted the bid of telecoms, media and property tycoon Peter Jones for the smallest equity he has ever taken on the show – a 12.5% stake.

“It’s the best invention I’ve seen in 7 series’ of Dragons’ Den – I honestly believe this ground-breaking device will kill off the curse of the cold call which brings misery to so many people” – Peter Jones

Recorded message calls, sales calls, market research calls, malicious calls, silent calls and fax attacks -anyone unfortunate enough to have their personal details fall into the wrong hands is only too aware of the impact on their home life.

trueCall acts as a buffer between the phone and the outside world and learns to distinguish between welcome and unwelcome callers (by an intuitive ‘star’ and ‘zap’ feature). trueCall intercepts all unknown numbers to the user’s landline answering the call and asks the caller to say their name, only then does it ring the phone and tells the householder who is calling. If the caller’s number is on a “zap list” – numbers of telemarketers or other nuisance callers – the device answers it, and all future calls from that number, with an automated message which means the phone does not ring at all.

Multi award winning trueCall was developed in the UK, and is the first product of its type in the World!

Now is the time to regain control of your phoneline.

trueCall offers complete peace of mind with a once stop solution making it the ideal Christmas gift for family, friends or anyone who has found themselves on the receiving end of the tirade.

The trueCall device costs £97.50 from the trueCall website www.truecall.co.uk, Amazon.co.uk, the BT Online shop, the QVC Home Shopping Channel and from selected John Lewis stores.

Trying to help a good cause could get you ripped off by fraudulent magazine salespeople

Wallingford, CT – May 8, 2009 – Better Business Bureau warns that deceptive door-to-door magazine sales crews are hitting the pavement in Connecticut, and looking to earn a quick buck this summer. In the last 12 months alone, BBB’s across the nation received 1,100 complaints from consumers in 46 states against more than 50 companies that are selling magazines door-to-door. A number of these complaints were filed by Connecticut consumers.

Many of these companies employ crews of high school and college-age people who are trying to earn money over their summer break. These crews are sent to communities to knock on doors and sell magazines—sometimes without appropriate licensing. In the sales pitch, the representative might explain they are working to help raise money on behalf of a charity, for a school trip or even selling subscriptions to support troops in Iraq.

A Greater New Haven woman said a pair of students claiming they were from the University of Rhode Island, knocked on her door, said they lived “down the street,” and were selling magazines and books to “go to London.” Later, when she became suspicious, she called police, filed a report with Connecticut Better Business Bureau and put a stop on her check.

Connecticut Better Business Bureau President, Paulette Scarpetti, says victims readily believe the phony sales pitch and often pay hundreds of dollars by check. However, complaints allege the sales reps took the checks and the magazines never arrived.

“We are alerting consumers to this scam to prevent an epidemic of door-to-door magazine fraud. We encourage all Connecticut residents to be vigilant, and to inform their children, parents and grandparents about this type of operation.”

Scarpetti adds that consumers are not the only victims of this scam.

“The young salespeople also are being taken advantage of by their employers, forced to work long hours and having their wages withheld from them.”

BBB offers the following advice to avoid getting scammed by a door-to-door magazine sales scam:

•Always research the company with your Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.org before issuing a check for a magazine subscription.

•The Federal Trade Commission’s Three-Day Cooling-Off Rule gives the customer three days to cancel purchases over $25 that are made in their home or at a location that is not the seller’s permanent place of business. Along with a receipt, salespeople should also include a completed cancellation form that customers can send to the company to cancel the agreement. By law, the company must give customers a refund within 10 days of receiving the cancellation notice.

•Victims of fraudulent magazine sales can file a complaint with their Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.org, local law enforcement, and the state Attorney General’s office.

Harold Cameron, the Chief of Helping People and Consumer Advocate for HaroldSays is promoting The Be Positive Do Something Positive Day on March 1, 2008. The Be Positive Do Something Positive Day is a day for people all over the world to experience and celebrate by BEING positive and then by DOING something positive on that day for another person, organization, or charitable cause. The end result, if only for one day, is to make our world a more positive and better place to be and to live in.

To properly celebrate the day each of us must first start with ourselves by BEING positive and then DOING something positive for ourselves – ideally when we begin our day.

Next, for The Be Positive Day to truly be a success, we must then BE positive and DO something positive in our homes for our families. Our positive act does not need to be huge or monumental, but rather, can be something seemingly small such as cooking dinner for our family and then eating and enjoying it together as a family.

Finally, for The Be Positive Do Something Positive Day to be a “positively” world changing success worldwide, we all need to BE positive and then DO something positive for another person, organization, or charitable cause. If we are a student, we could do something positive for a fellow student. If we are an employee of a company or organization, we might do something positive for one of our co-workers. We could also do something positive for an organization such as The American Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, Stand Up For Kids, Charity Buzz, Nickelby Project, Do Something, or some other organization or cause we believe in and want to help.

Let’s all join together on March 1, 2008 and make it the most positive day our world has ever celebrated or experienced.

HaroldSays, “Making our world a more positive place, one day at a time!”
