DivorceNetwork.com Launches Social Networking Web Site For People Affected By Divorce

DivorceNetwork.com Launches Social Networking Web Site For People Affected By Divorce

Whether to celebrate or commiserate, new web site provides online community for those affected by, contemplating or going through divorce

CLEVELAND - March 18, 2009 /PRNewswire/— More than one million people are affected by divorce each year, and whether they find it to be the best or worst thing to happen in their lives, most would agree that the process can be overwhelming. Joining a community of support can help make the process easier. DivorceNetwork.com – a worldwide support community – launches today to provide a social networking platform for those affected by, contemplating or going through a divorce.

"We designed DivorceNetwork.com to be the best combination of Google™ and Facebook - an online resource and community where people can turn for just about everything related to divorce. And we feel that we've achieved just that," said Mike Zimmerman, chief operating officer for DivorceNetwork.com. "For anyone dealing with a break-up, battling with lawyers or coping with children affected by a divorce, the site not only offers a wide range of resources, but features a social community where people can share their stories and relate to others in similar circumstances."

DivorceNetwork.com provides a number of forums and blogs that address a variety of divorce-related topics including an "I Got Screwed" forum, which provides a platform for members to share how they "got screwed" by their lawyer, ex, judge or anyone associated with the divorce. The site's content is centered on the three stages of divorce - contemplation or break-up, divorce proceedings and life after divorce - and members have the freedom to celebrate - or commiserate - their divorce status in an intimate environment of like-minded people.

DivorceNetwork.com offers the following features:

Social Network: DivorceNetwork.com allows visitors to create personalized profiles, further establishing a sense of community among its members. Similar to Facebook or MySpace, each member can include as much or as little personal information as they feel comfortable, and has the ability to join any number of forum topics.
Resources: Featuring more than 30 categories of resource listings suited to those affected by divorce, DivorceNetwork.com is the go-to source for everything needed in the before, during and life after divorce stages. Easily searchable to make it convenient for members to locate, these local resources include divorce lawyers, counseling services, daycare providers, moving companies, health clubs/personal training and storage facilities, to name a few.

Events: Recognizing that people in nearby locations may want to meet each other, DivorceNetwork.com offers the opportunity for members to coordinate their own local "meet-ups" or face-to-face activities through the site. This also gives new members a chance to search for local events in their area.

Giveaways: DivorceNetwork.com will be giving away a variety of prizes for members who choose to share their compelling stories. Prizes include iPhones, iPods, cruises, flat screen televisions and appliances.

A DivorceNetwork.com member, whose screen name is "Bunny", was actively involved on the initial beta version of the site and couldn't be happier about the new social network: "I went through a messy divorce that lasted more than two years. While there were web sites out there that offered advice or services, I never really found a community where I could share my story. I know there are millions of people in the same situation and it helps being able to identify with others going through the same struggles. It's uplifting to know that I am not alone."

DivorceNetwork.com visitors can also find a variety of articles and advice columns - penned by divorce experts - on a multitude of topics. The site also features a regular "He Said/She Said" column centered on two people of opposite gender answering a weekly divorce-related question, initiating a community debate amongst its member on a variety of topics. In addition, the site also offers support for families and children that have been affected by all stages of a marriage break-up.

An online store with humorous t-shirts, mugs, buttons and even a shirt for favorite pets, as well as a line of "I Got Screwed" products will also be available, and those interested in career opportunities with DivorceNetwork.com can view open positions directly on the site.

Russian Fashion Week Cuts Agenda Due to Crisis

MOSCOW, March 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Following fashion weeks in New York, Paris and Milan, Russian Fashion Week announced in Moscow it has shortened its Fall/Winter 2009/2010 season schedule this week. Russian Fashion Week (RFW) will commence on March 29 - April 4, 2009 in the Congress Hall of the World Trade Center in downtown Moscow. The most renowned fashion event in Eastern Europe, RFW will host approximately 50 shows of the best Russian and Ukrainian designers with insets of French, Italian and Spanish names.


Watch out for Evgenia Ostrovskaya at the Russian Fashion Weeek


"In peak seasons RFW had 65-75 shows, but this season we see a decrease in the number of participants," says Alexander Shumsky, President of Russian Fashion Week. "As is the case in Paris and Milan, a lot of designers prefer to make presentations instead of full fashion shows. The fashion markets are down, so brands and designers need to reduce expenses."


Russian Fashion Week is known for being the gateway to the Russian market. A number of international fashion designers staged their collections on RFW runways, including Vivienne Westwood, Julien Macdonald, Jenny Packham, Francesco Smalto, Frankie Morello, La Perla and Baby Phat, just to name a few. Designer rental fees for RFW catwalks are 4 to 5 times less than the smallest venues at fashion weeks in Milan or New York, but the total production costs of fashion shows in Moscow still remain consistent for most of the local designers.


The schedule of the upcoming Russian Fashion Week includes 48 shows, which marks almost a 20% fall compared to the October 2008 event. "Good news is that all key names of Russian fashion stay on the RFW catwalk this season," states Alexander Shumsky.


The renowned Russian fashion designer Slava Zaitsev will open RFW with his haute couture collection dedicated to the 100 Year Anniversary of Dyagilev's Seasons in Paris. Slava Zaitsev is a real Soviet/Russian fashion legend, known as Red Dior by international media.


The Russian Fashion Week schedule will include the most famous and edgy Russian designers: Arngoldt, Tatiana Parfionova, Julia Dalakian, Elena Souproun, BIRYUKOV, Poustovit, Cyrille Gassiline, Viva Vox, Xakama, Masha Sharoeva, Chistova&Endourova, TEGIN, Yulia Nikolaeva, MainAim, Personage, Liudmila Norsoian, and more. The international flavor will be added by Spanish designers Toni Francesc and Maria Lafuente, and Italians Leitmotiv, BeeQueen and a.VE. The collective Italian fashion show is a part of long-term cooperation between Russian Fashion Week and Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana. "Russia is a key destination for Italian fashion," says Mario Boselli, President of Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana. "In 2009 we take the next step in our relations despite the crisis."


Celebrated French designer Jean-Charles De Castelbajac will make his RFW debut on March 29.


Russian Fashion Week is acknowledged as the #1 fashion event in Russia; it attracts over 50,000 guests seasonally, with over 1,000 journalists and buyers. Russian Fashion Week's shows reach millions via live broadcasting on World Fashion Channel.

Video: Record Number of Patients Seek Laser Treatments to Take Light-Years Off Their Faces

The American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery 2008 Procedural Survey shows an increase in cosmetic laser treatments

Chicago, IL (March 16, 2009) /PRNewswire/ — New trends reveal that laser technology is steering the future of the cosmetic surgery industry. The American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery (AACS), a leader in the cosmetic surgery industry, conducted its annual Procedural Survey and the most notable finding is the shift towards non-invasive laser treatments.

Over the past three years, cosmetic surgeons have seen a significant increase in both males (456%) and females (215%) electing to have laser resurfacing. Laser resurfacing is performed with a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser that delivers short bursts of high-energy laser light to minimize wrinkles and lines on the face. In addition, laser hair removal has jumped to the overall number two most performed non-invasive cosmetic procedure.

"Cosmetic surgery technology is advancing at the speed of light," states AACS President Patrick McMenamin, MD. "As we learn more about the cosmetic uses for lasers, the more patients benefit from effective results and quicker recovery time. It is an exciting time for both cosmetic surgery patients and physicians."

Although the economy is struggling, these laser procedures seem to be recession resistant. For instance, laser resurfacing has seen an approximate $450 decline in price since 2002. "As long as these procedures are effective and affordable, their demand will continue to remain steady."

Other notable findings from the survey include:

In 2008, cosmetic surgeons have seen a 29% increase in their female clientele. Despite the economy, women are continuing to invest in their appearances. In addition, cosmetic surgeons have seen a 2% decline male patients proving that when times are tough, cosmetic surgery is the one of the first things men delete from their wish lists.
The top three most performed invasive cosmetic procedures in 2008 include: liposuction, blepharoplasty and breast augmentation; while the most popular non-invasive cosmetic procedures were Botox® injections, laser hair removal and hyaluronic acid.
The 2008 Procedural Data is based on a survey of U.S.-based AACS members completed in December 2008. The entire report, conducted by RH Research, is available by contacting the Academy.

The American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery is a professional medical society whose members are dedicated to patient safety and physician education in cosmetic surgery. Most members of the AACS are dermatologic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons, head and neck surgeons, general surgeons, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, plastic surgeons, or ocular plastic surgeons — all of whom specialize in cosmetic surgery. AACS is an organization that represents all cosmetic surgeons in the American Medical Association through its seat in the AMA House of Delegates.

Andy Samberg to Host 2009 MTV Movie Awards Live on Sunday, May 31st From The Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California

Andy Samberg to Host 2009 MTV Movie Awards Live on Sunday, May 31st From The Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California

NEW YORK, March 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Fresh off his record-breaking album Incredibad, SNL star Andy Samberg is set to host the eighteenth annual MTV MOVIE AWARDS, premiering LIVE on MTV, Sunday May 31st from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, CA. This is Samberg's first time hosting the awards show, while Emmy Award(R) winning producer Mark Burnett (Survivor, The Apprentice) returns for the third year as executive producer. With the legendary golden popcorn up for grabs in such unconventional categories as "Best Kiss," "Best Villain," and "Best Action Sequence," the 2009 MTV MOVIE AWARDS promises more over-the-top moments and stand-out musical performances.


"Andy's connection with the MTV audience is so strong...it's electric," said Stephen Friedman, General Manager of MTV. "The Lonely Island's digi-shorts are genius. We can't wait to see what subversive take he'll have on our audience's favorite movies of the year. We, like Andy's many fans, are thrilled he's decided to grace MTV with his unique talent."


"I'm super excited to host the movie awards," said Samberg. "I grew up watching the show and a lot of the past hosts are heroes of mine. Plus my friends and I were writers for the show prior to working at SNL, so it will be a sweet and satisfying homecoming. I can't wait to act really important."


Samberg joins the ranks of past hosts such as Ben Stiller, Jimmy Fallon, Mike Myers and Justin Timberlake to name a few. The celeb-filled event is MTV's bold nod to the typical awards shows celebrating the year's best in movies,. Hailed for clever, one-of-a-kind film parodies, sexy lip-locking moments (from the likes of Will Ferrell and Sacha Baron Cohen), and outrageous acceptance speeches (Mike Myers' ode to Austin Powers with a mojo-induced dance number), the MTV Movie Awards has produced some of the most unforgettable and outrageous moments in award show history.


Samberg, along with his Lonely Island partners Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, have recently released their first full-length album, "Incredibad," which was released by Universal Republic Records on Tuesday, February 10th. The album quickly became the first comedy album to hold the title as the top selling album on iTunes. "Incredibad" features favorites as well as new musical creations featuring a diverse arsenal of guest-artists including hip hop impresario T-Pain, Grammy(R)-winning superstar Norah Jones, The Strokes' Julian Casablancas, and comedic legend and Tenacious D-veteran, Jack Black. In addition, Samberg is currently starring in his fourth season as a cast member on "Saturday Night Live." Samberg, and SNL writers and sketch directors Schaffer and Taccone, are best known for their innovative SNL Digital Shorts which have re-invigorated the series. The trio's most praised shorts -- "D**k in a Box" and "J**z in My Pants" -- are currently reigning over Hulu.com, and are among the Top five selling videos on iTunes. The three have also served on the writing teams for two previous MTV MOVIE AWARDS.


With a diverse range of comedic talents, Samberg has emerged as a captivating and hilarious leading man in both television and film. Samberg starred in his feature debut in Hot Rod and will next be seen in I Love You Man for Paramount Pictures which will be released March 20, 2009. Additionally, Andy will lend his vocal talent in the upcoming film "Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs. Prior to joining "Saturday Night Live," Samberg performed stand-up comedy in both New York and Los Angeles for seven years.


Nominees for the 2009 MTV MOVIE AWARDS will be announced in the spring. The official 2009 MTV MOVIE AWARDS site launches on March 16. For more on MTV's ongoing movies coverage, check out http://www.mtv.com/movies/.
