Philly has a star in its own backyard who is transforming lives…and bodies
READING, PA, December 7, 2010 – John Schaeffer, avid trainer and nutritionist for the past 40 years, is transforming the way people workout and view fitness programs. His world-class training program, the Winningfactor, has attracted an impressive group of followers from amateur to Olympic athletes alike. Schaeffer developed the Winningfactor as a way for any individual to obtain their ideal level of fitness and maximize results. His expansive resume includes clients ranging from Olympic gold medalist Apolo Ohno to Olympian Giddeon Massi, Mark Fretta, Shani Davis, LeSean McCoy and Allison Baver.

The Winningfactor package is specifically tailored to maximize muscle mass and minimize body fat, and is available to purchase and download on winningfactor.com.

Parcels of land going once, going twice…
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Parcels of land going once, going twice…
HAVERHILL, MA, November 16, 2010 —Haverhill is auctioning off nine pieces of land worth almost $115,000. The city of Haverhill, Massachusetts is using municibid.com, a site that is free for government and open to the public for bidding. Each piece of land has a different amount of acreage, and is assessed at different values depending on its location in the city.
“Land is the one thing they don’t make more of,” said Greg Berry, President and CEO of municibid.com. “The parcels may be of interest to abutting property owners who might be looking for additional land or to block potential development of the land. The land could be used for many possible applications, pending necessary approvals and variances from the city,” he added.
Located on the Merrimack River, Haverhill is known as one of the more historical cities in Massachusetts. The picturesque city offers a wide variety of recreational activities that include skiing, boating, bald eagle watching, and jogging along the river that winds through the city. The newly rehabilitated central business district hosts the flourishing computer and research industries.
Bidding started on November 15 at midnight and will continue until December 2 at 10 a.m.
The parcels of land up for auction are situated in the heart of this thriving city. For additional information please visit municibid.com or contact Mary Roy, Haverhill City Treasurer, at (978) 374-2322.

Government merchandise is now a click away from a huge online audience, resulting in more bids and more money. The selling process is fast and the service is easy to use. If you’re with a government agency and would like more information on using municibid.com, please contact Greg Berry at greg.berry@municibid.com or 800.531.6074 x703.

Single and Sinful
A huge thanks to everyone who attended Single and Sinful Friday night at Public House. The event which was hosted by Jenna Communications, the Philadelphia Nightlife Society and PhillytoPhilly.com was a huge success! If you were in attendance Friday night you probably ran into Tiger Woods’ wife, a couple of devils, Prince, Lady Gaga, a cop and other sexy singles dressed to impress in their Halloween costumes. The music was loud, drinks flowed from the bar, and the company was stunning - a recipe for a great time. Guests bid on other singles during the single’s auction by celebrity emcee Erin Como, Borgata TV host and Philly.com host from Down the Shore. The silent auction featured items such as signed Phillies gear by Cole Hamels and Mike Schmidt. A portion of the proceeds went to Save Second Base, a charity that supports breast cancer and donates to breast cancer non-profits. Prizes such as gift cards to Public House were given to the highest bidders and attendees awarded best costume by the crowd. Guests had a fabulously haunted time at the party while supporting a great cause. Stay tuned for future events!
Social Media and the Business World
Social Media is bringing people closer together all over the world and its users are continuing to grow exponentially. Whether people are following their favorite band, brand, or news station on Twitter, or checking in at a bar or restaurant on Foursquare, the ability to communicate through countless outlets is empowering. Communication is made easy when it is always at your fingertips, and the ability to share thoughts and opinions is simple. However, what first started as purely social and friendship driven, social media culture has turned into a powerhouse for businesses that is just starting to take-off. Social media marketing is making businesses and people more accessible to their target markets as well as their clients. By creating a Twitter, Facebook, or Foursquare account, a person or business is one step closer to direct communication with consumers, which in turn means more control. Share news, comment on issues, hear suggestions, and get feedback- all lead to a more successful business and more control of the direction of the company. Social media is a huge outlet and if you build the right network, growth is imminent.
