The update also ensures that the correct image resolution is set for monochrome images on German operating system and addresses some other minor issues.

-resave JPEG images as TIFF,
-run a Photoshop Action on each image,

Frances Marino is in Gallery's Artist Showcase

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is proud to announce that Frances Marino is the Gallery's new featured artist.

Jupiter, FL, USA (March 15, 2014) -- Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is proud to announce that Frances Marino is the Gallery's new featured artist. Frances was originally born in Buffalo New York and in 1974 she moved to Boulder Colorado in order to live in the wide open spaces. 30 years later, in 2005, her life would take a turn into the art world.

In 2005, Frances began to think what she would like to do when she would retire in 10 years' time. She realized that art was always something that she had enjoyed dabbling in, by going to art shows and art openings. With that realization, she decided to take a couple of drawing classes at the local Front Range Community College by starting out with a watercolor class. From that experience, Frances decided to take a pastel class at the Colorado Art Academy and with that, pastels quickly became her favorite medium.

In 2008 Frances decided that she wanted to expand into abstracts and she took a class with the artist Gwen Fox, thus, it was her first experience with acrylics which she tends to use more of these days.

Frances tells this story about her art, "Someone told me once that I will never be famous because my art is all over the place without a certain style and people will not be able to recognize my art. Being famous is not my goal. My goal is to create pieces of art that people would love to hang on their walls. So I continue to paint what moves me and I never know how the painting will turn out until I am finished with it. But then again, I can't say if one of my paintings is ever finished or whether it is just abandoned for the moment."

She continues her thoughts, "The world of art has been a great place to land for my next career with even I not knowing where my next painting will come from or how it will show up on the canvas. I find it's all a mystery to me." Frances's website is http://www.frances-marino.artistwebsites.com.

Illegal Alien Suing Emergency Crews That Saved His Life Should Be Deported

ALIPAC is calling for the federal government to do its job to protect American citizens from harm and exploitation by enforcing the existing laws and deporting Roy Ortiz who recently appeared on Fox News regarding his lawsuit against first responders who had saved his life from flood waters.

Raleigh, NC, USA (March 13, 2014) -- Contact: Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) Press@alipac.us / (866) 703-0864

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC is calling for the federal government to do its job to protect American citizens from harm and exploitation by enforcing the existing laws and deporting Roy Ortiz who recently appeared on Fox News regarding his lawsuit against first responders who had saved his life from flood waters.

Gretchen Carlson of Fox News outed Roy Ortiz as an illegal immigrant live on air after Ortiz's attorney confessed he was in the country illegally during a break. The video is being distributed by ALIPAC at this link....

illegal immigrant sues rescuers that saved his life from flood


"Roy Ortiz shows how alien and exploitative many illegal immigrants in America are," said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. "Many are here to take as much as they can any way they can using a criminal culture that is rife with fraud and deception while at the same time lacking many of the values Americans hold dear. The fact an illegal alien is suing the men and women who risked their lives to save him from flood waters shows an example of much broader trends and attitudes among illegal immigrants."

William Gheen and ALIPAC manage the world's largest archive of information in existence on the topic of illegal immigration and illegal immigrants which is found at http://www.ALIPAC.us since 2004.

Numerous news stories and comments are documented on the site each week proving the deadly and costly consequences of the non enforcement of America's existing border and immigration laws by the Executive Branch under Bush and now Obama.

Illegal immigrants are killing American citizens, stealing taxpayer resources, stealing strategic metals from private and public entities, taking over empty homes from home owners, engaging in identity theft and document fraud that harms American citizens, and now filing frivolous and derogatory lawsuits just like Roy Ortiz.

"We need to keep telling more American citizens the story of Roy Ortiz so they will understand that this is the kind of illegal immigrant Obama and many Republicans want in the country for cheap labor and cheap votes!" said William Gheen. "Roy Ortiz and millions of illegal aliens like him are here in America to take everything they can get their hands on through legal, illegal, fraudulent, and unscrupulous means!"

Unlike the illegal alien Roy Ortiz, William Gheen is no longer allowed on Fox News because he opposes immigration reform amnesty for illegal immigrants which is supported by Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch.

For more information about illegal immigration, illegal immigrants, crimes, terrorism, and the corporate sponsored invasion of America or to schedule interviews with William Gheen please visit http://www.ALIPAC.us.

How Much Could Maintaining Home Appliances and Systems Cost in 2014?

TotalProtect Home Warranty shares average cost of annual repairs and replacements; warns most homeowners aren't prepared.

Fort Lauderdale, FL (March 11, 2014) -- If a major home appliance or system unexpectedly breaks in 2014, do most homeowners know how much it would cost to repair or replace, and do they have the funds set aside? According to experts at TotalProtect, a home warranty company that aims to make home ownership easier, the answer is a resounding no and it could spell trouble for many in the coming year.

"Our research shows more than 60 percent of homeowners feel that an expense of more than $2,000 would be devastating to their household finances, yet the annual cost of repairs is often much more," said Steve Burnett, general manager and senior vice president of TotalProtect. "In addition to the financials, there is a great deal of stress that comes with finding the right service provider and trusting them to perform the job effectively and honestly."

According to data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis and a Bloomberg report, the average age of consumer durable goods is the highest since 1962. This means homeowners are keeping their appliances longer than ever before - an average of 5.3 years - increasing the chance they could break from routine wear and tear.

"The best way to ensure financial stability is proper planning, said Emilio Escandon, CPA, principal-in-charge of the Northeast Region Tax Practice of national accounting firm MBAF. "Setting aside a designated amount each month so you are covered in the event of a major crisis is preferable as opposed to hoping for the best and then having to incur an unplanned expense. It's a healthy budgeting habit and provides peace of mind simultaneously."

"A home warranty is a great option for those who want to budget throughout the year and avoid a large, unplanned expense," added Burnett. "The truth is, things break. Homeowners should ask themselves, 'can I withstand these costs?' If the answer is no, now's the time to put a new plan in place."

About TotalProtect Home Warranty:
TotalProtect Home Warranty provides a full selection of reliable home management plans. Consumers can purchase home warranty services directly from the company at http://www.totalprotect.com. In business since 1978 and headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., TotalProtect is a division of Cross Country Home Services.

USDA Certifies New Cold Chain Technology at South Florida Logistics Center

First-of-its-kind, eco-friendly process extends the shelf-life of perishables arriving through South Florida.

Coral Gables, FL (March 10, 2014) -- Flagler Global Logistics, formerly South Florida Logistics Services, today announced its South Florida Logistics Center has received United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) approval for a revolutionary treatment process for fruits, vegetables and other perishable items. The new technology allows for better management of the "cold chain" to extend produce shelf life and quality, while the Miami-based entry point of the South Florida Logistics Center decreases the amount of time the products are in transport.

Industry reports cite nearly $35 billion of perishable foods are wasted annually, with nearly half of those losses due to temperature changes experienced in-transit between the grower and the grocer. Flagler Global Logistics' new USDA-approved treatment process stabilizes the cold chain integrity by exposing fruits and vegetables to a more uniform temperature, vastly improving the quality of the products. Additionally, the new treatment's filtration system makes the process more environmentally friendly.

"This new technology is a game changer for exporters looking to bring their produce to supermarket shelves in the United States," said Chris Scott, President and CEO of Flagler Global Logistics. "With this cold chain infrastructure in place at the South Florida Logistics Center, our partners have a new gateway to the Southeast that allows them to get their product to market more quickly-adding at least a week or more to the product's shelf life. It's a true competitive advantage, aiding our economy's growth while saving exporters and grocers time and money."

The South Florida Logistics Center officially opened for business in October 2013. Located adjacent to the Miami International Airport, the 200-acre intermodal logistics complex offers world-class cargo handling including unprecedented multimodal transportation access, Foreign Trade Zone advantages and refrigerated cargo options.

The Logistic Center's first building, a 170,000-square-foot facility, is now fully operational including 60,000 square feet of refrigerated space.

With more than two million square feet of Class-A warehouse and distribution space at full build out, the South Florida Logistics Center offers flexible space options with existing space from 12,000 to 275,000 square feet and build-to-suit space. Conveniently located adjacent to the Miami International Airport with exclusive rail connectivity to PortMiami, Port Everglades and Florida East Coast Railway's intermodal yard, South Florida Logistics Center significantly reduces transit times and transportation costs for importers and exporters looking to reach end-users throughout Florida, the U.S.A., Latin America and the Caribbean. The Center also offers convenient access to all major highways, including I-95, I-75, Florida Turnpike, US 41 and US 27.

For more information about the South Florida Logistics Center, visit http://www.sflcmia.com, or to schedule a property tour, contact Chris Sutton, SIOR or Robert Richter at (305) 460-7270.

Output Factory Server for Adobe InDesign Improves Image Color Management

Zevrix Solutions announces Output Factory Server 1.0.10, a feature update to its output workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. Output Factory Server automates printing and exporting from InDesign by processing files from watched hot folders. The software offloads output tasks to a central system leaving operator workstations free from the output process. The new version lets users create large format JPEG files and improves color management of exported images.

Toronto (ON), Canada (March 7, 2014) -- Zevrix Solutions today announces the release of Output Factory Server 1.0.10, a feature update to its solution to automate printing, exporting and post-processing from Adobe InDesign. Developed originally for a major magazine publisher in the United States to free up their operator computers from outputting InDesign files, the software automates InDesign workflow by processing files from watched hot folders.

The new version lets users create large format JPEG images that exceed the file size limitations imposed by InDesign. This improvement has been achieved by using intermediate PDF files as the image source instead of InDesign's direct JPEG export. In addition, the new update lets users embed document's color profile to preserve the original image color values in exported TIFF and JPEG files.

Under Output Factory Server workflow, production artists, prepress operators and designers simply copy InDesign jobs to hot folders that reside on a network. Users can create hot folders for any type of output - for example hi-res PDF, large format printing, EPUB files and so on. Output Factory Server offers the following key features:

-Support for print, PDF, PostScript, EPS, JPEG, Flash, EPUB and other formats
-Supports unlimited users on a network
-Export as single pages
-Layer versioning: output specific layers and their combinations as single files
-Variable output file names
-Preflight files before output
-Automatic e-mail notifications of process stages and errors

Pricing and Availability:
Output Factory Server can be purchased from Zevrix web site for US$699.95, as well as from authorized resellers. Trial is also available for download. BatchOutput Server users can upgrade for $349.97. Output Factory Server runs on Mac OS X 10.6-10.9 and works with Adobe InDesign CS3-CC.

Eye Tracking helps Internet Marketing and Online Advertising

Using the latest Eye Tracking equipment Vancouver area company I-METRIX can now help answer many questions using eye tracking technology samples of the webpage and ad can be viewed by test participants and their eyes tracked as they progress through the website.

Vancouver, BC, Canada (March 6, 2014) -- Many companies and marketing managers invest in Internet marketing and online advertising, however they are not sure how the viewers will react to their adverts.

Banner blindness is a term used where viewers never see the ad due to them learning how to tune out items they consider advertising and that might slow them down with their endeavours. This can happen when a viewer is looking for particular information and goes directly to the area they are looking for.

Several factors can be involved that affect the success of online banner type ads.

Is this the right type of website to advertise on; are their visitors likely candidates for your offering?

What is the best position for the ad is it the Leader Board a Tower Ad or other position?

Are there too many ads competing for traffic on the page, is the webpage too busy with other information to distract the viewer.

Does the ad contrast with the webpage? Do animations in the ad help or deter the viewer.

Is the ad positioned above or below the page fold, or is it rarely seen.

If paying for impressions only it is critical that the ad at least gets seen. Will changing the ad style or even moving to a text ad improve the investment?

If images are involved will changing them to a different image improve click trough rates?

Many of these questions are difficult to answer often when low click trough rates are blamed on the website used for advertising and it could well be one of many other factors.

Using the latest Eye Tracking equipment Vancouver area company I-METRIX (http://www.I-Metrix.ca) can now help answer many of these questions using eye tracking technology samples of the webpage and ad can be viewed by test participants and their eyes tracked as they progress through the website. Tasks are often given to the participants and real time data and reports are generated. Often different scenarios can be created to determine which the most effective promotion for the campaign is. Similar services are offered by I-METRIX for customers that place advertising in video applications.

Amnesty Support Costs Pete Sessions Endorsement Changed To His Primary Opponent

ALIPAC is dropping the organization's eight year endorsement of Congressman Pete Sessions (R-TX) and endorsing his GOP primary opponent Katrina Pierson due to the release of activist videos showing Sessions supporting a form of amnesty for illegal immigrants similar to what Barack Obama has called for.

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC is dropping the organization's eight year endorsement of Congressman Pete Sessions (R-TX) and endorsing his GOP primary opponent Katrina Pierson due to the release of activist videos showing Sessions supporting a form of amnesty for illegal immigrants similar to what Barack Obama has called for.

ALIPAC is now endorsing Pete Sessions' GOP primary opponent Katrina Pierson because she has completed a survey pledging to support America's existing border and immigration laws instead of any form of amnesty for illegal immigrants. (click here for survey)

"Pete Sessions had a lot of people really fooled into thinking he was a supporter of America's existing border and immigration laws," said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. "We were shocked to find out he is one of the Republican sellouts trying to change our existing laws to 'accommodate' and legalize millions of illegal aliens which would eventually permanently degrade America's borders, laws, Constitution, and elections!"

ALIPAC has endorsed Congressman Pete Sessions since 2006 due to his strong grades with NumbersUSA and his prior commentaries about opposing amnesty for illegals and illegal immigration.

ALIPAC is dropping the endorsement for Congressman Pete Sessions due to activist videos just released that show Pete Sessions speaking at several town halls in 2013 making comments in support of John Boehner's plan to legalize millions of illegal immigrants. (click here for videos)

Mathew Boyle of Breitbart News reports on March 1 that, "In the videos, Sessions frames his support for amnesty as granting legal status to illegal aliens who are not violent criminals-but somehow not citizenship, even though anyone who obtains a green card is allowed to eventually apply for citizenship. Sessions described such an amnesty as aiming to 'accommodate' illegal aliens." (click for full article)

Americans in every state are being asked by ALIPAC to drop their support for Pete Sessions due to his support for Obama's nation disrupting amnesty plans and to offer their support to Katrina Pierson in the 32nd Congressional District of Texas!

Congressman Pete Sessions has now been added to ALIPAC's tracking list of 46 GOP members of Congress that support John Boehner's plan to help Obama pass amnesty for millions of illegal aliens in America. ALIPAC wants strong GOP primary challengers to confront and defeat the Republican members of Congress on this list (click here).

Eye Tracking Offers Insight into Website and Movie Viewing

Now with Real Time Eye Tracking you can exactly view their path and see what took their interest. Using the latest equipment, Vancouver area company I-METRIX, offers a sample user testing service providing complete viewer data reports. Parameters can be implemented to measure ease of navigation for the viewer to determine your desired results.

Vancouver, BC, Canada (March 3, 2014) -- Many companies spend large portions of their budget to ensure customers come to their digital offering whether it be a Website, a Commercial or a Video.

After spending budgets on SEO, online or other methods, they feel "we have done our job to get the customers to view the media".

But once at your website or other digital media do they find their way through the content to their goal? Perhaps they are looking for information, wishing to buy or are they taking a look at that special promotion?

Now with Real Time Eye Tracking you can exactly view their path and see what took their interest. Using the latest equipment, Vancouver area company I-METRIX (http://www.i-metrix.ca), offers a sample user testing service providing complete viewer data reports. Parameters can be implemented to measure ease of navigation for the viewer to determine your desired results.

Eye Tracking can offer a method to evaluate any project before it is launched allowing critical changes to be implemented, if needed, after testing.

Target areas can be implemented into the test whether it be a webpage or video to see how long a user viewed or fixated on the specific area and if they returned for multiple viewings.

Fixations and Saccades are recorded in real time showing flow and interest as well as the length of time they looked at the item. The Mouse is also tracked in the test and offers insights on areas clicked to move to a different page or offering.

Eye Tracking can offer an advantage over your competition that are maybe just launching media and hoping it is successful.

This relatively new technology definitely gets "inside the users head".
