PR Log (Press Release) –
Feb 25, 2010 – In reality, availability depends on the service you choose. The best services do provide instant access to ratings. These services are available for a reasonable cost and offer a wide range of options.
Paula de la Torre Editor of the "Best Credit Reporting Services" website -- http://www.CreditReportsAndScores.biz -- pointed out;
“… Free annual scores requested directly from the three large agencies are seldom quick, and do not provide scores. For a few dollars, you can avoid dealing with the three large agencies and obtain all three ratings from one source, quickly, and economically. Consider using a three-in-one service…”
You will save time, and the information provided is complete, current, and includes your scores from three largest agencies. This information is available online over secure internet connections.
Annual reviews are not sufficient. Information updates occur daily. Identity theft can ruin your rating within days. Errors occur, and even false information may creep into your file. You are the primary protector of your rating, and you should review your file frequently to insure it includes a fair and accurate history.
Do not rely on a search engine completely to choose top rated companies. Review companies using a variety of search terms, both general and specific. The best companies offer quality services, at a reasonable cost, promptly. To find the best companies, dig deep and ask any question you deem important.
“… Compare several services before you select the best one to satisfy your preferences. As a general guideline, you should pay no more that $15 to $25 per month to receive a monthly three-in-one report…” P. de la Torre added.
The real value you receive from online review is the opportunity to monitor your files. Review all changes. Changes should make sense. You have an absolute right to correct all errors. For example, you may find accounts listed as active that you closed years ago. You may notice your address is not current. You may discover even false information that you must remove. After correcting all errors, you cannot force an agency to remove accurate information from your file.

Renowned Utah sculptor ready to cast statues of French W.W. II “common” heroes

Feb 18, 2010 – Renowned Utah sculptor ready to cast statues of French W.W. II “common” heroes
By Christian Probasco
KEARNS, UTAH—celebrated sculptor Stan Watts is ready to cast the molds and pour the bronze for statues honoring some unsung French heroes of World War II and the little-known but highly effective fighting unit of which they were a part.
Watts, a man of deep faith who is perhaps best known for his work “To Lift a Nation”—three enormous statues of the firemen who raised the flag above the wreckage of the World Trade Center after 9/11--agreed to cast the statue soon after learning the story of the Free French, and he is selective about which projects he takes on.
“This is an important piece,” he says. “I wanted it done right.”
The piece consists of two statues which are one and a half times life size. On the left is a French national soldier modeled on Lieutenant Daniel Nevot, now a U.S. citizen residing in St. George, Utah, who fought for French General Phillippe Leclerc and his tiny but ferocious Free French Army from North Africa to Hitler’s mountain redoubt in Berchtesgaden.
Standing beside Nevot is an unknown African ‘tirailleur’ or rifleman, one of the native troops which made up the bulk of the French forces, without which, as Nevot says, “we could not have achieved anything.” Recruited from Senegal, Morocco and Algeria, the tirailleurs helped turn the tide against the Axis forces in Europe. Tens of thousands of them died fighting for the French.
Nevot had been intending for years to donate a work of art to the Chad Marine Infantry Regiment, formed from units which had fought in North Africa, but he hadn’t found an artist. A friend of his son-in-law mentioned the project to Watts in church one Sunday. The sculptor investigated the story and quickly decided he had found a worthy subject.
Watts and Nevot will officially present the statues to the regiment when it moves its headquarters to Colmar, France, in July of 2010.
Nevot was just a teenager when the Wehrmacht overran France in 1940. He was one of approximately 600 men who initially answered General de Gaulle’s famous call for his countrymen to continue the fight against the Axis powers. As a soldier in Leclerc’s desert army, he commanded an armored car in an engagement against the Italian stronghold of Koufra, in Libya. Outgunned and out-numbered, the French nevertheless captured the fortress and then won a series of battles which crippled Axis supply lines and contributed significantly to the ultimate defeat of German General Erwin Rommel’s army in North Africa.
Soon after that crucial early victory, which swelled his army with converts from the French army under the collaborationist Vichy government, Leclerc made his “serment de Koufra;” a pledge to cease fighting only “when our colors float over the Cathedral of Strasbourg.” Strasbourg was annexed by the Germans after the French capitulation. Having earlier liberated Paris, Leclerc’s forces captured the cathedral and fulfilled the pledge in November of 1944. Nevot, whom Leclerc called the “Corporal of Koufra,” accompanied the general the whole way.
Watts wanted to capture the spirit of the troops before the victory at Koufra, when the odds were clearly against them. His works often depict his subject’s uncertainty and vulnerability at the onset of a great task. A few years ago, he cast a bronze of General George Washington praying atop his horse at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.
“Valley Forge was the low point in the war,” explains Watts, “The soldiers didn’t have warm clothing or food, they hadn’t been paid…they were dying. When their terms ran out, they were going to quit. Washington assembled them and offered them several months pay to stay on. He told them he didn’t know where he was going to find the money but that he would. He asked for that volunteers who would continue the fight step forward. Nobody stepped forward.”
Completely disheartened, Washington rode off into the woods.
“He was telling himself, ‘I’ve done everything I can do and it isn’t enough,’” says Watts, “I believe at that point he appealed to a force greater than himself.”
Washington returned from his cold sojourn an inspired man.
“He told his soldiers, ‘You don’t know where we are. You don’t realize the opportunity that’s in front of us. Let me tell you: when we triumph over our enemy, it will be the greatest victory in the history of civilization.’”
As even some British historians have conceded, Washington’s men went on to achieve great things.
Leclerc must surely have experienced similar doubts after the fall of France. If Watts were doing a sculpture of him he might have been able to carry the theme across to the new work. The added dimension was that Nevot wanted Watts to cast a sculpture of the enlisted men who did most of the actual fighting and won the war.
“There are too many statues of generals in France,” says Nevot, “and not enough statues of the common soldier.”
The common soldier could do worse for a spokesman. Soon after Koufra, Nevot and two comrades captured the Italian garrison of Gatroun and its 150 defenders by themselves, sneaking past the perimeter disguised as Arabs, taking the commander prisoner in his own office and ordering him to assemble his men in the courtyard where the Frenchmen could hold them at bay with the fort’s machine guns until reinforcements arrived. He killed several enemy soldiers in close combat, was strafed by a Stuka dive bomber, liberated his hometown of Couprey on a Harley Davidson motorbike and survived the German landmine which shredded the bike soon after. And he never backed down from a dangerous mission.
“I was young did whatever my commanders wanted,” he says, “I always raised my hand when they asked for volunteers.”
Watts is clearly content to be portraying an extraordinary common man. He doesn’t ask that Nevot’s faith match his own, preferring to let the unlikely historical outcome of Leclerc’s war speak for its divine purpose. What he does ask in his daily prayers is that he be able to accurately render the moment of transcendence over deep pessimism that any soldier, or human being for that matter, must experience before achieving greatness.
“Each of us,” says Watts “has a Valley Forge.”

Love formula discovered in Vancouver -
PR Log (Press Release) –
Feb 09, 2010 – February 9th, 2010 - VANCOUVER (Canada) - Love is more an art than a science, and (as music can be represented with notes, and it comes from creativity) love can be represented with variables in an equation, and relationship can be improved with a holistic approach to couple dynamics. As long as the equation is open enough to let the respondents define what matters (and in which measure) for them in a relationship, and defined enough to allow comparison within a couple and also among different respondents.
Love can be represented as: Love = (Aw * Ag) + (Mw * Mg) + (A1w * A1g) + (Rw * Rg) + (Ew * Eg) + (...). By coincidence, the initials of those variables form the word AmAre, which in Italian language means "to love". The site www.amareway.org offers tool to easily calculate and compare the AmAre Way Index, online and offline.
These are the variables, which represent the pillars of a successful relationship:
A: Aware (being) of each other and couple's feelings, thoughts, needs and wants
M: Meditating together, or at least sharing thoughts
A1:Active (being) together, do things together
R: Respectful (being) of each other and couple's feelings, thoughts, needs and wants
E: Eating properly and support each other healthy lifestyle, and also feed the relationship with positive feelings and thoughts
For each of such pillars, two aspects are quantified by respondents:
w: weight, importance given to each aspect (sum of all weights should be 100)
g: grade, rating given to each aspect (each grade is a value between 0 and 1)
(...): if there are additional aspects considered too important to be included in the rest of the formula, they can be weighted and graded here
As mentioned on www.amareway.org/love-formula-formula-for-love/ this formula can be used in many ways, including to quantify the importance of a relationship, how satisfying it is and its strength. Importance is all about what people feel they put into a relationship; so, a respondent should insert the weight of each of the five or more aspects of a successful relationship, and also how much he/she is doing for each of these aspects. How satisfying a relationship is determined by how people perceive what the partner puts in the relationship; so, a respondent should insert the weight of each of the five or more aspects of a successful relationship, and also how much he/she perceives the partner is doing for each of these aspects. The strength of a relationship can be quantified with the sum of importance and satisfaction for each partner.
A spreadsheet is offered on www.amareway.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Love-formula-love-calculator.xls to easily calculate the AmAre Way Love Index. Partners can then share their own results at the same time, and discuss them. Additional interesting applications include comparing what people perceive as their partner's satisfaction level is (using w: estimated weight, estimated importance given by partner to each aspect; g: estimated grade, estimated rating given by partner to each aspect) with how happy their partner really is.
This formula is meant to be descriptive and preventive, but not predictive. That is, it gives an idea of how the situation is now, and the strengths and weaknesses a couple should be aware of and act upon. Regardless of what the number says, a couple is always responsible, here and now, for the success of the relationship, so a high result still means a couple should keep going with the great affinity, and a lower result means there are aspects to act upon to improve the relationship. The author of this formula is also working on the formula of happiness which, in its more advanced form, will allow to predict different degrees of likelihood for an event, action, etc. to succeed in a specific context.
One of the love formula's strengths is its unlikeness to reach 1, the perfect score, or 0, the void. This formula is useful so couples can improve their awareness about the situation so far, and build a better present. Once the formula served its purposes, then a couple can move on. Because the ultimate success of a relationship is not in reaching number 1, it is in finding and renewing the appropriate couple-dynamics, for which the author of the formula suggest to follow the AmAre Way. If partners can accept they may have different views, and the fact they assign different weights and grades to the pillars of their relationship, and still respect and love each other, they are on the way to build together a lasting relationship.
AmAre formula offers a rational tool to gain more knowledge about the current status of a relationship; AmAre Way offers an approach to improve it, for the benefit of the couple.
