Redwood City, Calif. (PRWEB) September 8, 2009 -- FooMojo, Inc., creator of the world's most realistic and emotionally engaging virtual pets, today announced FooPets Breeding, a new feature of the FooPets.com virtual pets social game that lets owners take part in planning and building their own FooPets family trees. Individually or together with a friend, FooPets owners can now breed two FooPets and raise a litter of puppies and kittens until they are old enough to be adopted. During the breeding process, FooPets owners are responsible for proper care of their FooBabies including feeding and watering, providing required healthcare and when ready, arranging for adoptions to good homes.

"Pet breeding in the real-world can be very rewarding but it's a process that requires hard work, a substantial time-commitment, financial resources and dedication," said Dr. Ron Hornbaker, veterinarian, founder and CEO, FooMojo. "FooPets Breeding gives virtual pet owners the opportunity to experience the excitement of building and caring for their own pet family tree but also raises awareness that there are serious responsibilities involved."

FooPets Breeding is an entertaining and fun way to learn the aspects of pet breeding. For owners, creating their own personal FooPets genealogy can be an exciting experience. Every parent and baby FooPet has a unique personality profile that tracks the pet's character traits determined by their breed. Personality profiles help owners find optimal breeding partners based on desired pet personality and behavior. Over time, FooPets family trees can evolve based on breeding history and bloodlines.

With FooPets Breeding, owners experience a condensed, comprehensive, simulation of the real-world breeding process. Once owners purchase a litter license and select a breeding partner, they can pair FooPets for conception, followed by a gestation period and then delivery. At delivery in approximately four weeks time, between four and seven adorable baby FooPets will arrive. After a two week weaning period when parent FooPets watch after the litter, baby FooPets then will require two weeks of careful attention from their owners before they are ready to be adopted. At this point, baby FooPets are old enough for adoption to good homes. By giving or selling baby FooPets to family and friends, owners can join their family trees and share in the fun of crafting personal FooPets genealogy to include specific desired traits and characteristics.

FooPets are the world's most realistic and emotionally engaging virtual pets. As part of an entertaining social gaming environment fun for users of all ages, FooPets take on their own individual lives and develop unique personalities. They are easy to recognize due to their lifelike appearance and behavior. Once adopted, they need daily care and attention and rely on their owners for food, water, playtime and affection.

Because FooPets are completely web-enabled, they live in favorite online locations across the Internet including Facebook and MySpace profiles and the new FooPets.com Web site.

Availability:
FooPets Breeding is now available in the FooPets social gaming application. Because FooPets Breeding involves bringing new, live virtual creatures into the world, serious responsibility is required. For detailed information regarding rules and guidelines, please visit http://www.foopets.com/breeding.

Many different breeds of FooPets puppies and kittens are now available for adoption on different locations across the Internet. For Facebook and MySpace users, FooPets can be adopted free-of-charge through the FooPets application. FooPets also can be adopted free-of-charge on the newly launched FooPets.com Web site.

Gilbert, AZ (PRWEB) August 29, 2009 -- SelectBlinds.com takes the green and eco friendly matter seriously. And we take energy efficiency, which will save you money, just as seriously. Summer is almost over, and even though the A/C bill will be shrinking, the heating bill will take over almost immediately. Window blinds and window shades are, generally speaking, eco friendly, as any window blind or window shade will provide some measure of energy efficiency. And by being energy efficient, you join the green team, and contribute to the eco friendly community by reducing your use of gas or electricity.

A few examples of products that will do this for you are:

SelectFusion shades are among our newest eco friendly shades. These elegant, unique window shades are a combination of a beautiful drapery style material that cascades over an energy saving cellular shade. The fabric panels face the room, and the cellular shade faces the outside. They are raised and lowered as one, with the cellular shade collapsing up, and the fabric panels folding up, in perfect unison. The SelectFusion shades are available in 3 styles. Sheer Weave roller shades, whether in the 3000 series or the 5000 series, block UV rays, with the 5000 series of roller shades blocking an impressive 95% of these harmful UV rays. These sun control shades also do a very good job of reducing the heat that seeps through your windows. Reducing your energy bill is good for the environment, with the obvious added benefit of reducing your utility bills. Save a tree, buy a faux wood blind. Real wood blinds are popular because they really add a touch of class to any room. Real wood blinds come from trees, but if you are a tree hugger, and I use that term with the utmost respect, you are not likely to buy a real wood blind. You can still have a horizontal window blind with the look and feel of real wood, by putting a faux wood blind in your home. Faux wood blinds are eco friendly because they, like all window blinds, add an element of energy efficiency to your home, and they are eco friendly because they do not require real wood to make them. Earth Art shades are more energy efficient than a horizontal blind, and are constructed of natural grasses and tender reeds. These shades, which are available as either a traditional roller shade, or a woven wood shade that folds up like a Roman shade, filter harmful UV rays, greatly improving the energy efficiency of your home. The woven wood shade version can also be ordered with an optional liner, adding an even greater level of protection from the elements.

Going green with sun control window shades and window blinds is good for the environment, it's good for your wallet, and it's good for the preservation of your home décor. Window blinds and window shades block harmful UV rays, which improve energy efficiency, plus there is the added benefit of keeping those harmful rays from fading and discoloring the material of your furniture, carpets, and rugs. SelectBlinds, where our window covering solutions can actually pay for themselves by saving you money!

We are now making this service available to other companies who seek to ensure customer loyalty through unparalleled customer support."

Today the Intelligent Help Desk™ provides services in support of 77 manufacturers, including many of the world's largest technology providers.
