World Wide Security, a provider of physical security and life safety systems, today announced the asset acquisition of several physical security companies located on Long Island and New York City. The companies: Dart Security, Woodbury; Access One Security, Commack; and LSG Security Systems, Bronx, N.Y., will join World Wide. The acquisitions will enhance the service offerings to residential and commercial customers through expanded product lines and technical expertise. World Wide had announced in December an increase in the companys revolving line of credit which made the closing of negotiations, with these companies, possible. These acquisitions will help us achieve the ability to increase delivery of quality security solutions and technology to a growing marketplace in the region. There is a lot of industry talent involved with these acquisitions which will benefit our expanding customer base, stated Ken Mara, President and CEO of the Garden City-based World Wide Security.

Dart Security, founded in 1974, is a leading security system provider in Woodbury, with a market concentration in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Ben Cirlincione, Darts President and founder will remain with the company as General Manager. I am thrilled to have Ben as part of our team. Ben has had a large presence in the industry on Long Island. He has witnessed many changes, while also influencing trends, through his active participation when he served as President of the Long Island Alarm Association and during his involvement as Vice President of the N.Y. State Alarm Association, Mara stated.

With the acquisition of LSG Security Systems, World Wide will now have a physical presence in New York City and Westchester County, allowing the company to expand its market reach. Future plans include a larger office and additional staff. LSG was formed in 2005 by Lee Gagliono and specializes in the sale and installation of security systems. Lee has built an outstanding company that World Wide looks forward to being part of. LSG customers will now receive greater alarm response with monitoring services through World Wides in-house monitoring company, Vision Monitoring. The on-site monitoring division of World Wide is also a New York City Fire Approved Monitoring company. This stringent certification process is approved by the Fire Department of New York City and New York State and is held by only several dozen monitoring companies in the entire U.S.

Access One Security and World Wide Security had been doing business together for nearly 10 years through Vision Monitoring. All my companys security accounts have been handled by World Wides UL-Listed central station, Vision Monitoring; so when it came time for me to sell, I naturally wanted the smoothest transition and approached World Wide, explained John Maglione, President of Access One Security.

World Wide has a growing presence in government contracting having recently been awarded a 5-year N.Y. State contract and is one of the largest security and fire alarm providers and system installers, to school districts on Long Island. The companies will now work together to expand systems and technology to the State as well as local and regional government agencies, private residences and businesses. World Wide Security has long admired each of these companys abilities to service the expanding security market in the region. We are thrilled to join forces to create a highly competitive company with innovative ideas that customers want, Ken Mara commented.

As a Honeywell and First Alert dealer, World Wide is known for its ability to provide security solutions through integrated products. I look forward to having additional industry expertise available to address the challenges of highly technical installations as part of our team, Mara stated adding, The industry has moved towards the security system performing so much more than burglar and fire alerts. The consumer wants technology that will meet their very basic needs to advanced systems to control the home environment, monitor in real-time the inside and outside of the home, and have alerts sent to their cell phones and laptops. Companies who understand the end-user and have expertise in all of these areas will continue to grow.

Dart Security, LSG Security and Access One Security were asset purchases as was World Wides acquisitions over the last year, which included Rainbow Protection, Digital Security, True Value Alarms and Alarm Security Inc.

Maitland, FL (PRWEB) January 13, 2012

Sewing a garden is much like sewing the Word of God into daily life. Each requires patience, nourishment, love and attention. As Jesus used parables to tell stories containing spiritual lessons, Sarah Long Quillen compares gardening to spiritual growth in her new book, Listening to God ($ 14.99, paperback 978-1-61904-767-9; $ 22.99, hardcover, 978-1-61904-768-6; $ 7.49, eBook, 978-1-61904-769-3). This book will help individual and group readers grow spiritually and become stronger Christians while learning to listen to God.

Gardening, like any enjoyable hobby, may seem to most a simple life pleasure that allows a person to relax and take pleasure in the elements, but much like a persons spiritual walk with the Lord, it requires time, energy and self-motivation to produce a fruitful harvest. Quillen helps her readers sew the seeds of Gods Word into each and every day.

I want Christians to realize some things we often do or say does make a difference in how others can be won to Christ or even be strengthened by our display of obedience, states Quillen. I was inspired by God to write this book. Every year I put out a garden and I learned something new. Lessons in the garden often were about gardening, but they were also about life. After a few years of trial and error, I realized God was speaking to me through gardening.

Xulon Press, a division of Salem Communications, is the worlds largest Christian publisher, with more than 8,000 titles published to date. Retailers may order Listening to God through Ingram Book Company and/or Spring Arbor Book Distributors. The book is available online through xulonpress.com/bookstore, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com.

Flowers chosen for their texture and depth complement the trend for bridal fabrics such as lace, Beverley describes this Springs colour schemes, there will be lots of soft pastel shades and including peach and nude shades. Peach hasn’t been popular for several years so is making an impressive welcome return, says Beverley, who has over 20 years floristry experience, including working on previous Royal weddings.

This beautiful soft look is so appropriate in the year of the Queens Diamond Jubilee, when Im sure we will be seeing vintage colours and textures resonating in wedding outfits and millinery. Beverley has had exceptional experience working with London florists who designed flowers for the Queen Mothers 100th birthday, whose favourite flowers were soft tumbling roses designed to have the perfect vintage garden feel.

Beverleys top tip for texture is to use blooms that have numerous petals creating wonderful texture. We love using blowsy flowers such as peonies, double lisianthus and old English roses, which give depth and character for that perfect vintage look. This layered look is stunning in wedding photography.

Beverley also provides prop hire items, which can be used exceptionally well to enhance the vintage look. Beverley explains the prop hire items that are currently the most popular for Spring 2012, Bird cages are still very popular and elegant silver candelabra decorated with soft textured flowers such as peonies hydrangea and roses.
