Project Homeless Connect Works to Help the Homeless in New Jersey
Posted by Edan Shertzer on Jan 28, 2009
Eva’s Village, one of the most respected anti-poverty programs in New Jersey, and other non-profit and community leaders in Passaic County, NJ provide a one-day, one-stop event to deliver services to people experiencing homelessness in NJ.
Paterson, NJ (PRWEB) January 23, 2009 — As bitter cold grips the state, Project Homeless Connect works to help the homeless in New Jersey.
On Wednesday, January 28, 2009, staff and volunteers representing non-profit and community groups will meet at Eva’s Village, 393 Main Street, Paterson, New Jersey to aid the homeless in locating the services they require, including food, clothing, housing information, hygiene products, medical and dental services, mental health services, family services and much more. Project Homeless Connect at Eva’s Village is one of many such events across the country that provides information and referral services to the homeless.
This event coincides with the Point in Time Survey, a nationwide effort driven by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to get an accurate snapshot of the homeless in America.
Eva’s Village has participated in Project Homeless Connect, since its inception in 2007. Passaic County’s Interagency Council on Homelessness has been working on a Ten Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness called “H.O.P.E. in Passaic County” Housing Our People Everywhere in Passaic County.
Project Homeless Connect at Eva’s Village is designed to help the homeless in NJ access the services available to them and to foster collaboration between non-profit, public, private and individual volunteers in the effort to end homelessness in New Jersey.
Sister Gloria Perez, Executive Director of Eva’s Village, says, “As the coldest months of winter are upon us, it is even more important to reach out and help the poor in New Jersey, so Project Homeless Connect is a valuable program that connects the most unfortunate among us with the help and support they need.”
Eva’s Village has recently experienced a 10% increase in the number of poor coming to Eva’s Kitchen, the well-known New Jersey soup kitchen at Eva’s Village, with the number receiving a daily hot lunch reaching close to 400 on many days. “We turn nobody away who needs food, even though this often requires an additional seating to accommodate them” says Sister Gloria.
For more information about Project Homeless Connect at Eva’s Village in Paterson, NJ, contact Barbara Niziol, at 973-523-6220 Ext. 226.
Originally a New Jersey soup kitchen, Eva’s Village was founded in 1982 by Msgr. Vincent E. Puma in response to the homeless problem in his Paterson, NJ parish. But Msgr. Puma soon realized that a soup kitchen was not enough. With the generous support of thousands of donors and private and government grants, Eva’s Village has grown into the most respected anti-poverty program in New Jersey, with a four-star rating (maximum) by Charity Navigator, an independent non-profit monitor.

To enter the contest for this package, visit the Alan David Custom Suits homepage, www.AlanDavidNYC.com, or drop by the store at 16 East 40th Street, New York, NY 10016.
Because of the recent economic downturn, there has been a surplus of high-quality fabrics in the marketplace. As a result, Alan David Custom Suits has been able to purchase an extraordinarily large amount of high-end Italian fabrics from the finest Italian mills. Suits that luxury department stores such as Nordstrom, Saks and Paul Stuart are now selling for $1,800-$2,500 are available at Alan David Custom Suits for only $995-$1,095.
Alan David Custom Suits has been in the business of custom suit manufacturing since 1926, when the original store was set up in New York and began to offer its customers one-of-a-kind bespoke suits that would fit on the very first try. Four generations later, this high-end men’s custom suit manufacturer is still thriving, fitting New Yorkers with nothing but the best in custom-made clothing.
The expert staff at Alan David Custom Suits understands that no two body types are alike. Using a unique set of 23 measurement techniques, which have been passed down and refined with each generation, Alan David Custom Suits makes sure that each of its bespoke suits is carefully configured to fit its customer’s individual body type. No two patterns are ever the same. In fact, the store’s mission statement is “To produce high quality men’s custom suits and shirts that fit as close to perfect the very first time.” Says owner Alan Horowitz: “Our obsession is 100% client satisfaction. Nothing less will do.”
Clothing items from Alan David Custom Suits have lined the wardrobes of top-rated TV shows such as Sex and the City and Saturday Night Live, and continue to make appearances both on the silver screen (Analyze This) and in a number of Off-Broadway shows. The company has also created custom suits and custom shirts for a good deal of celebrities, politicians, and prominent New York-area professionals, including Johnny Cochran, Chuck Schumer, Andrew Cuomo, Sheldon Silver, and Richard Grasso.
The fabrics for Alan David Custom Suits come only from luxury mills such as Scabal, Dormeuil and Zegna. The garments are all made domestically–no part of the garment-making process is outsourced overseas–and the suits are built in a state-of-the-art factory. Alan David Custom Suits uses all types of canvas and only the best interlings, which protects its garments against the frequent damages of dry cleaning. This advanced technology not only ensures the suits’ initial quality, it guarantees that even the hardest of suit wearers can count on a suit that can and will last. Gone are those embarrassing creases in the crotch area; Alan David Custom Suits’ patented lapel and chest canvases prevent bubbling and pilling even in the rain or snow. It is this kind of technological innovation–along, of course, with its unmatched fitting techniques–that helps Alan David Custom Suits rival other custom tailors on the scale of Brioni, Oxxford and the Savile Row.
“This place is great,” writes one satisfied customer. “I was always hesitant to go for custom suits because I was afraid the whole fitting process would turn into a complete hassle. But that wasn’t the case with Alan David. My custom suit fit just about perfectly the first time I tried it on.”
At Alan David Custom Suits, you can choose from thousands of distinct fabrics, many of which are on display as full-fledged suits, not merely as sample swatches that give only a partial indication of what a final custom product will look like. The fabrics are 100% handcrafted, and 99% stain-proofed. Furthermore, certain custom products, such as Alan David’s custom ties, come with a complementary gold medallion engraved with the customer’s initials.

Custom Search Bars — a SEO Must
Posted by Edan Shertzer on Jan 16, 2009
By now, almost anyone whose spent time online searching for a particular product or service has experienced the unfortunate phenomenon of “search vertigo”: it’s that heavy, sinking feeling you get when you land on a page that has no custom search bar. Suddenly, your computer screen seems to turn a few shades dimmer; each vague navbar title begins to sound strangely enticing, and each link seems to promise to lead you toward your end objective. You click and you click but, like that hamster on his wheel, you seem to be moving and staying in the same place all at once.
OK, maybe because we’re really into website marketing and SEO, we take our “search vertigo” harder than most. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t an annoying experience. In fact, there’s good reason to be annoyed if you’re website is missing a custom search bar — you’re losing out on an easy and relatively effortless way to make money.
The custom search bar is a great tool to use to boost your site’s user friendliness. Potential customers simply don’t have enough patience to play the insidious guessing game that is internal link navigation. Even if your webpage is highly relevant to their search, customers who can’t find what they’re looking for pretty quickly are more likely than not to exit your page and check out the next option on the search engine results page. On the other hand, if a custom search bar is in place, pleased customers who find what they’re looking for quickly are both more likely to purchase that product/service and spend more time on your site overall, which is a major SEO plus.
Programs such as Google AdSense for search make the custom search bar that much more inviting. Google’s thinking is straightforward: Google wants to push its ads into every nook and cranny available on the Internet, so it cuts the following deal with you, the owner of your own nook and cranny — when someone types search terms into your search bar, Google will analyze those terms and generate ads on the results page that are relevant to the search. If the user clicks on one of those generated ads, you get paid. Simple and sweet.
The Google AdSense program has some additional benefits, such as the free Google hosting page for custom search results and the Top Queries report that allows you to see the most popular terms users have typed into your custom search bar. Either way, with a custom search bar embedded on your site, you can make the alleviation of “search vertigo” into a profitable business.
