March 16, 2011 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

“Where Fashion and Technology Meet”

Austin, TX, March 16, 2011 — Group texting service GroupFlier today announced its CEO Morris Panner will be speaking at the South by Southwest SXSW 2011 event Style X on Saturday, March 19 at 3:45 p.m. to discuss the growing link between fashion and technology.

GroupFlier ( http://www.groupflier.com ) also announced it’s the official group texting app for Style X, connecting fashion designers and the musicians who are acting as their models at SXSW.

South by Southwest is introducing its first-ever style showcase celebrating emerging talent in the fashion industry. The event, called Style X (pronounced “style by”), will be held on Friday-Saturday, March 18-19 in the Austin Convention Center and is free and open to the public.

“SXSW interactive may be ending and most of the tech startups and web gurus who populated the panels and networking rooms are packing up and headed home, but GroupFlier is sticking around and putting their group texting service to work with musicians and fashion designers participating in SXSW’s first-ever fashion showcase, Style X,” said GroupFlier CEO Morris Panner.

“Technology is playing an increasingly more significant role in the fashion industry and I’m excited to have Morris on board for this panel,” said Joah Spearman, Style X’s co-founder and executive producer. “Group texting is an exciting frontier in the tech industry and GroupFlier stands out because it truly offers something that creatives, from musicians to fashion designers, can utilize to build their fanbases and businesses.

Along with the three dozen emerging designers from all over the country, American Apparel, Keds and New York barbershop Frank’s Chop Shop are special exhibitors. Among these emerging designers is Austin’s own Chelsea Jones, whose line Toxophilite is debuting at Style X. She plans to use GroupFlier to connect with her budding fanbase.

“I’ll be fully introducing Toxophilite at Style X so it’s important for me to connect with my customers and start building a following long after SXSW is done,” said Jones, a graduate of the Savannah College of Arts and Design.

Similarly, musicians participating in Style X will be able to tap into the service as a way to communicate with bandmates and fans alike. Kent Zambrana, the lone Austin member of L.A.-based indie band Letting Up Despite Great Faults, plans to use GroupFlier extensively.

“My bandmates and I have already started using GroupFlier to stay in touch while we’re 2,000 miles apart. It’s been a great way to continue developing our plans for SXSW and make sure we get the most out of the festival,” said Zambrana, whose official SXSW showcase is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. at Karma Lounge at 119 W. 8th St.

Joining Morris Panner will be executives from Square, Go Try It On, and Lyst. Also, Syuzi Pakhchyan, author of “Fashioning Technology: A DIY Intro to Smart Crafting,” will make an appearance.

Mods4cars announces 7 new SmartTOP roof controllers

March 15, 2011 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

Mods4cars is announcing 7 new SmartTOP roof modules for the 2011 convertible season. The manufacturer reports that after-market roof controllers for the BMW 6 Convertible (F12), Mercedes Benz SLK (R172), Nissan 370Z Roadster, Renault Megane CC (III), Renault Wind, VW EOS (Facelift) and VW Golf VI Convertible will be available this year.

Ocean, NJ, March 15, 2011 — Mods4cars is announcing new convertible roof controllers for 7 cars. After-market SmartTOP modules for the BMW 6 Convertible (F12), the Mercedes Benz SLK (R172), and the Nissan 370Z Roadster will be available this year. Products for the French convertibles Renault Megane CC (III) and the Renault Wind will also be available this season. Mods4cars will also produce roof controllers for the German VW EOS (Facelift) and the new VW Golf VI Convertible in 2011.

All the new models will feature the SmartTOP’s two most important functions. Firstly, the One-Touch system allows the roof to be opened while driving; the roof can be operated up to a speed of about 40 km/h. All it takes is a quick push of a button inside the cabin, thereby eliminating the inconvenience of having to press and hold the roof button. Secondly, the roof can be controlled from a distance using the car’s existing remote fob without having to change or reprogram the original car key.

“Depending on the module, additional features can be added to these two main functions,” states PR representative Sven Tornow. He continues: “All the modules also feature a practical USB connector that permits our customers to comfortably download unlimited free software updates on their home computer.”

The new SmartTOP after-market roof controllers will start at 249 Euros + tax.

Modules for the following models are now available for purchase: Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes, Mini, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo.

Further details and purchasing information: http://www.mods4cars.com

About Mods4cars:
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.

The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in California and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.

Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.

The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.

Blueberry Foodservice Consultancy Announce The Imminent Opening The New 100 Seat Blackbrooks Cafe In Battle Near Hastings

March 15, 2011 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

Blueberry Foodservice Consultancy is proud to announce the imminent opening the new 100 seat Blackbrooks Cafe in Battle near Hastings.

Oxon, UK, March 15, 2011 — Following an initial meeting, we have managed to create a menu, design and concept and developed the cafe through to opening inside 4 months! Working closely with the owner, Mark Winchester, catering consultant, Salim Sajid developed a real understanding of what was required and came up with a menu that reflected the needs of the local customers.

“I wanted to ensure that we were sourcing local, quality ingredients and developing dishes that were what local customers wanted. The menu needed to appeal to the retired keen gardeners as well as the “ladies that lunch” so freshness, colour and real flavour are all important as well as excellent value for money” said Salim, who also help recruit the senior management team for the cafe “Mark has a real vision for the garden centre and see the cafe as being the catalyst for making this become a reality.”

As part of the brief, Blueberry Catering Consultants also developed the interior look of the cafe, which is light, airy and fresh but still retains a warmth and comfort. This was achieved through the use of soft wood, hand painted finishes and soft fabrics for flooring, furniture and wallpapers. Overall the contemporary feel of the cafe will give a real lift to the whole garden centre, which will benefit from new customers.

“We’ve created three very distinct areas and I’m sure customers will quickly settle on a favourite place to sit. It will be essential that the team now get used to the space and the layout quickly so that the customer experiences excellent customer service and a great dining experience” said Salim, who was also involved in the development of the pioneering Beckworth Emporium as well as the hugely successful Haskins restaurant in Ferndown, “my intention will be to support Mark and his team through the opening period, helping them put controls and standards in place that will not be compromised and will develop a strong reputation in the area.”

Carrie Rose – Your Specialist In Work Place Counselling – Help Your Staff To Cope With Stress

March 15, 2011 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

Gloucestershire based counsellor Carrie Rose can help you and your staff to deal with the everyday stress that comes from working for a company with high pressure levels and a big workload

Gloucestershire, UK, March 15, 2011 — Gloucestershire based counsellor Carrie Rose can help you and your staff to deal with the everyday stress that comes from working for a company with high pressure levels and a big workload, by helping each team member to cope with things in their own way.

Running a business that relies on its team members and staff to work well under increasing pressure can be a challenge, with stress and emotions often running high, meaning that it can be hard for your employees to cope when things get too much.

Workplace Counselling can help to:
* Reduce sickness levels
* Increase and improve job satisfaction
* Increase levels of commitment from staff
* Give employees a method of dealing with stress
* Improve mental health and stability

Stress at work is a common challenge for businesses throughout the UK and whilst some stress can be good for employees, when the stress gets too much to deal with and the strains begin to show, things can quickly start grinding to a halt, with mistakes, emotions and pressure rising alongside the stress levels.

Counselling ( http://www.carrierose.co.uk ) in the work place has been proven to help staff get more from their job. By increasing the happiness levels of your team members, this will then lead through to helping to increase productivity and success for your business.

With many businesses often forgetting how effective work place counselling could be for the whole operational aspect of the firm, it is important that your business doesn’t suffer the same mistakes.

If you feel that work place counselling could be beneficial for your company, then give Carrie Rose a phone call for a quick chat about how everything works on 01285 862 158 or visit her website – http://www.carrierose.co.uk/

The PB Reality Show to Sell Bikini Calendar and Donate All Proceeds to Charity

March 12, 2011 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

he PB Reality Show announced today that it will sell the printed version of its online calendar with all proceeds going to charity.

San Diego, CA, March 12, 2011 — The first major reality show to hit the beaches of San Diego, The PB Reality Show ( http://www.pbreality.com ) announced today that it will sell the printed version of its online calendar with all proceeds going to charity. The calendar features 12 of the most stunning models of Southern California, who are actually a part of the show. Jim Lawlor, the the show’s creator and executive producer, picked Photocharity as the charity of choice, an organization dedicated to helping the homeless youth of San Diego.

Lawlor, locally known as the PB Millionaire, has a natural affinity for helping the homeless here, particularly because he knows their plight firsthand. When he arrived in San Diego some 20 years ago, he soon ran out of money and often had to sleep on the beach. Despite having a degree in business, Lawlor found it difficult finding work and had to resort to painting houses as a means to get by. It was serendipitous that he came up with an idea for protecting his eyes while spray painting. His patented goggles have since made him millions, which gives him the ability to give back to the community as well as devote time to his reality TV production.

The PB Reality Show is essentially a “backstage pass” to his nouveau riche lifestyle of living in a castle, his VIP access to San Diego’s nightlife, and the making of a bikini calendar. Viewers will get to see all the behind-the-scenes drama, including the cat-fights, as beautiful models vie to win their spot in the calendar. Various competitions will be held throughout the spring and summer to qualify contestants for the “Miss Pacific Beach Contest,” which awards a Grand Prize of $3,000. The winner will also be involved in promoting the show’s various charities.

Lawlor plans to use the show’s popularity to bring even more awareness to the causes closest to his heart. “Viewers get drawn into the show with all the sexy models and get hooked by the ensuing drama,” he says. “Once we get the audience’s attention, we can then bring their awareness to important issues, like the homeless problem here in San Diego.”

San Diegans have a lot to look forward to in the comings months, as The PB Reality Show ( http://www.pbreality.com ) is in full-force with filming, casting calls, competitions and jaw-dropping bikini contests. Beginning April 1st with the “PB Scavenger Hunt,” the show will be filming at least one major event or competition each month. In fact, one model will be rewarded for selling the most calendars, thereby raising the most money for Photocharity ( http://photocharity.org ).

The calendar is priced at $19.95 and can be purchased by visiting the show’s website at http://www.pbreality.com.
