Neighborhood News – Just4Pooches – Cranford N.J.

Posted on 11/28/2011 by sharon_steele

Welcome to episode 2 of Neighborhood News. At Just4Pooches pet boutique in Cranford, dogs are treated like kings. Owner Lynne Suga-Rafanelli makes sure that every visitor to her shop receives personal attention. She is always available to answer any questions about pet nutrition, care, and grooming, and her shop features a vast array of dog necessities and luxuries.

Lynne welcomes her customers to bring their dogs into the shop for a visit, and is happy to assist with the selection of toys, leashes and collars, and even cute raincoats and sweaters.  Her in depth knowledge of dog nutrition is a valued resource, and her clients find her input and advice to be so important for the well being of their dogs.

Suga-Rafanelli said while many people come into the store knowing what they want, a gift certicate can be a wonderful option. The shop will wrap up the gift certificate in adorable packaging, and you can choose from  a huge selection of smaller treats to accompany it, such as Bark Bars.  These treats look like giant pieces of holiday candy, gingerbread men, candy canes, and snowmen. Just perfect for the holiday season!

Located at 8 North Union Ave in Downtown Cranford New Jersey, Just4Pooches is the perfect pet boutique for people who love their dogs.

Archive your mobile videos on a Platinum DVD with Home Video Studio

Archive your mobile videos on a Platinum DVD with Home Video Studio

We all know that when you and your family get together with friends over the holidays you will enjoy watching those old home movies and tapes. Many of you have had us put your tapes and movies on a Platinum Archival DVD which makes it really easy and fun. 

We also know we're now in the digital media age. Here's a question: Do you know where your precious memories from this year's holiday events are?

You took that cool video of the kids on your iPhone. You snapped the perfect picture on your digital camera. You shot precious video footage of Grandpa on your flip camera. Now where are they? Still sitting in your phone? On a camera in your glove box? On your computer? Most likely everything you shot or filmed during the holidays is in danger (just a click or crash away) from being destroyed, stolen or lost because the digital age is also the dangerous age - for our memories. Don't let them become "Dust in the Wind!"

Did you know that if your phone gets wet or dropped those memories may be lost forever?! Sometimes they can be retrieved, but often they cannot! What if your digital camera or flip camera gets stolen or lost? What if your laptop hard drive crashes?

DON'T LOSE YOUR PRECIOUS MEMORIES! Home Video Studio can back up the pictures and videos from all of your portable devices on a Platinum 100 Year Archival DVD! We can back up your lap top as well. Be a saver of your family's archives! Don't wait till your mobile device is dropped or stolen. If you lose your phone you lose your memories.

Plus Home Video Studio's archival process offers easy access to your pictures and videos for printing, posting (Facebook/youtube/etc.) or just viewing with friends and family on your PC or DVD.

It's a great age we live in - the digital age! Digital cameras and smart phones make documenting the important things in your life easy and rewarding - Home Video Studio makes protecting those memories a cinch with our Platinum Archival DVDs!

It's also a great time to relive your older memories with friends and family. Home Video Studio makes projecting those memories really easy! Ask about putting your old movies, videotapes and photos into a Lifetime DVD Keepsake with music and titles today!

Neighborhood News. Episode 1 – Breadsmith of Cranford NJ

Posted on 11/20/2011 by sharon_steele

Welcome to the first episode of our new series, “Neighborhood News”. 

The owners of Breadsmith, Kathy Vastola and Paul Cavanaugh are  a husband and wife team who spent many years as biochemists. They realized their dream of owning their own business by purchasing New Jersey’s first Breadsmith franchise in 2007. There are more than 30 nationwide. The shop, which is more like a small town bakery than a franchise store, offers more than 20 product varieties daily. Kathy has recipes for more than 200. Each day she and her staff prepare the staples, such as French Peasant loaf, Country White, etc. They also craft specialty breads that are more like a delicious dessert than a bread. My personal favorites are the chocolate chip pumpkin loaf and the apple pie loaf. Don’t forget the Cinnamon claws!

All of the artisan breads are made fresh.

“Breadsmith specializes in handcrafted artisan breads made fresh from scratch using the highest quality ingredients with no additives or preservatives. Our dough is never frozen and our breads are baked in six-ton, stone-hearth ovens imported from Europe. We also make specialty breads and a wide range of cookies, muffins and sweets.”

The Breadsmith also will prepare trays of desserts breads artfully arranged for your parties and gatherings. I personally purchase these trays for my Open Houses. People LOVE the breads, and I enjoy sharing these yummy treats!

Stop in and visit Breadsmith of Cranford New Jersey and enjoy the tastes and smells of this wonderful shop! Let them know you heard about it here!

The Breadsmith is located at 32 North Ave  908-276-2155

Hours: Tue-Fri: 7am-7pm, Sat: 7am-5pm, Sun: 7am-4pm, Mon: Closed

I rate this A++. Thanks Dan for helping my family preserve 4 generations of great memories!!

Home Movie Transfer

- Joe from Hunterdon If you have old 8mm family movies deteriorating away in the closet, you owe it yourself and your family to put them on DVD now, before it is too late. I brought Dan 20 years worth of celluloid from the 50's, 60's and 70's that I no longer had a way to view or enjoy. He and his tech had a monumental task but did an absolutely FABULOUS job of digitizing them, color balancing, adding music and putting them on a set of archival DVDs that I can now play over and over as easy as watching TV. When Dan says that he strives for 100% customer satsifaction he really means it. The opportunity for my children and my neices/nephews to see their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents having fun from more than a half century ago is PRICELESS. If you have any doubt call Dan, talk with him, ask questions. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed with his professionalism and the quality of what you will get for your money. I rate this A++. Thanks Dan for helping my family preserve 4 generations of great memories!! Learn More: Click Here

Your Memories Are Even More Secure! - Home Video Studio's Exclusive Platinum DVDs are here!

Home Video Studio's Exclusive Platinum DVDs are here!

Platinum. The word alone conjures images of exclusivity. A platinum card yields the greatest privileges. A platinum award ranks above gold. In fact, did you know that platinum's rarity made King Louis the XV of France declare it the only metal fit for a king? Well, at Home Video Studio you are royalty! And we are pleased to announce our exclusive Classic Platinum DVD 45's! Here are a few reasons why your precious videos need to be transferred to Home Video Studio's exclusive platinum DVD 45's.
They look great! We call them Classic Platinum DVD 45's because the inner hub gives it a look like the old 45 rpm records from the 1950s and 60's. With a platinum outer and inner hub and printable face your DVDs will look fantastic! And with the holidays around the corner what better gifts?
	Ultra Scratch Resistant! Have you ever put in one of your favorite DVDs only to be frustrated by a "read error" message? Sometimes accidents happen. One scratch, one spill or one incident can spoil something that's irreplaceable. Our Platinum DVD 45's have an Ultra Hard Coat - the best option to protect your video content against accidents and thus extend the life of your precious video memories. UHC™ guarantees 100 times more scratch protection when compared to conventional DVDs.
Certified lifetime exceeds 100 years! Like platinum your memories are rare, precious and irreplaceable. Unfortunately time and elements can take their toll on the DVDs you are counting on to archive these memories. Sooner or later corrosion begins to cause pinholes and other defects in the bonding resins causing playback failure. Our Platinum DVD 45's are the best product on the market to guard against this. In accelerated aging tests our exclusive DVDs are certified to last over 100 years!
Home Video Studio, always the innovator, is the only video services business with the exclusive Classic Platinum DVD 45's. We invite you to call us today! 908-301-9300. Learn More:

MAGNETIC TAPES CAN SURVIVE FLOOD EXPOSURE

In the aftermath of hurricanes and severe flooding; homeowners, businesses and  archives frequently find video and audio tapes that have been exposed to water  and debris. Unfortunately, it’s all too often assumed that these tapes are ruined  and irreplaceable recordings are discarded when they could actually be saved. For decades, magnetic tape disaster recovery experts have been developing and  successfully applying techniques to restore tapes exposed to floods and other disasters  to playable condition. No matter how damaged tapes that have been recovered from  a flood or hurricane site may look, most wet tapes can now be saved and restored if  they are treated properly. Before deciding to discard your valuable recordings, it’s important to understand  how water and debris actually affect magnetic tape and what actions should and  should not be taken. The following are basic facts about wet tape, handling  suggestions to help with recovery and contact information if you need to speak  directly with a recovery expert. You may well find that the tapes you thought were lost can actually be saved. If your tapes have been in a flood, here are a few things you should know  about their condition: 1) Short-term exposure to water does not destroy most magnetic tapes. 2) Most tapes recovered from floods can be restored if treated promptly. 3) Water, alone, cannot damage the magnetic recording on ferric oxide tapes. 4) Large to medium size tapes resist damage better than very small tapes. 5) Most older, analog tapes resist damage better than newer tapes marked MP or ME. You should also know: 1) Tape cases and shippers are not watertight and do not protect tapes from floods. 2) The most damaging exposure involves salt water, sewage or chlorinated tap water. 3) Extended exposure to water can eventually destroy magnetic tapes. 4) Uneven drying or exposure to heat can cause tapes to deform. 5) Incomplete or partial drying can result in damaging fungal growth. IMPORTANT: Most tapes recovered from flood sites are not destroyed by the  flood exposure but by mishandling. If your tapes have been in a flood and you want to save them, here are some  things you can do (and some warnings about things you should not do): 1) Never attempt to play wet tapes.  2) The sooner you do something, the more likely that your tapes can be saved.  For more information call: 908-301-9300
