Pure Hockey Announces Launch of PureGoalie.com












Franklin, MA (PRWEB) February 20, 2012

Pure Goalie, one of the largest retailers in the United States of ice hockey goalie equipment, today announced that it has launched its new website, at http://www.PureGoalie.com. The new website provides a full e-commerce experience and dynamic online tools to help hockey goalie consumers purchase, learn and get equipment guidance from goaltending experts – and to see all the latest and greatest hockey goalie gear at the best prices.

Pure Goalie has also added video for many products to help shoppers get more information and become more familiar with the products which they are considering for purchase. Product descriptions are not standard descriptions from vendors – Pure Goalie has enlisted hockey goalie experts to re-write product descriptions in their entirety – and all descriptions are written by Pure Goalie employees, particularly store managers who live and breathe the life of the hockey goaltender.

Other features include the following:

    Store location pages: shoppers now have easy access to store hours, maps, directions, manager bios/photos & video tours for each Pure Goalie store.
    Easy to find specific hockey goalie product using the dynamic navigation tool. Dynamically narrow down to brand, price, size and color with the click of a mouse.
    The traditional search box helps users find what they need in a quicker fashion.
    Customers can mouse over on the shopping cart icon on ANY page on the site to get a quick glimpse of what is in their cart.
    An online customizer which lets goalies build their own gear, in their own colors, featuring dynamic, on-the-fly color changes and extensive customization options.
    Pure Goalie offers select goalie gear to be viewed in 360-degree angles by using a mouse to spin the product around.

David Nectow, President of Pure Goalie parent company TSG Enterprises, LLC., commented, “We are very excited to launch our new Pure Goalie website, which we truly believe to be the simplest and most informative e-commerce site on the internet for hockey goalies. Not only do our customers continue to have access to all the goalie gear at the best prices, but they now have a forum to learn, watch videos and have the best goalie experience overall on the web. We look forward to launching even more features online in 2012 and serving our online customers better than anyone else who sells goalie equipment.”

Pure Goalie sells major hockey goalie equipment brands such as Vaughn, Bauer, Brians, Warrior, Reebok and many more. Pure Goalie has six retail locations including Berlin MA, Braintree MA, Dover NH, Warwick RI, Norwalk, CT, Fairfield, NJ and upcoming Pure Goalie openings in Pittsburgh, PA in the Spring of 2012.

About Pure Hockey: Pure Hockey sells hockey equipment from all major brands such as Bauer, CCM, Reebok, Warrior, Easton (plus many more) and designs and markets fashion-forward and custom made apparel for its online and retail shoppers.

AIAG Actionline Focus- Performance Assembly Solutions (PAS) :” Who’s Behind Your Curtain?” Supply Chain Initiatives: Automotive OEM Contract Manufacturing










LIVONIA MI. (PRWEB) February 17, 2012

Contact: Patrick J. McGowan

Performance Assembly Solutions (P.A.S.)

810 923 2519

pjmcgo@performanceas.com

Performance Assembly Solutions (P.A.S.) featured in International Automotive Magazine for its outlook on “Contract Manufacturing in the OEM’s”.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –FEBRUARY 10, 2012 – LIVONIA, MICH —

Performance Assembly Solutions (PAS) was recently featured in the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) Actionline Magazine regarding its world renowned reputation as a leader in “Contract Manufacturing” for complex integrated assemblies for the automotive OEM supply chain.

“PAS is a leader in the manufacturing of complex integrated assemblies based in Livonia MI. and the AIAG felt that with their excellent reputation and attention to quality that their perspective on what it takes to be a successful contract manufacturer in today’s OEM marketplace would be very insightful” stated the AIAG. “We have been providing top quality Contract Manufacturing assembly solutions for the OEM’s since we opened our doors nearly 13 years ago” stated McGowan “all the while silently performing critical manufacturing tasks as the Man Behind the Curtain”.

Who’s Behind Your Curtain?

Some OEMs find that partnering with a contract manufacturer can lead to greater flexibility in managing their manufacturing and assembly operations.

By Patrick McGowan

In the movie classic “The Wizard of Oz”, Dorothy and the merry trio amble through the maze of adventures trying to find their ultimate destination. After following a multitude of paths, they happen upon the final chapter of hope when they locate and visit the Wizard of Oz. After uncovering the masterful Oz, it becomes apparent to them that the answer they sought lay before them the entire journey—they had the answer all of the time.

In the automotive industry today, the same premise exists. What seems to be a magical experience of getting to the final destination of a “final product” entails multiple paths and explorations before the final solutions or answers become apparent. In most cases, the answer doesn’t require the “Mighty Oz”—it is knowledge you already possess.

Some companies are finding solutions by outsourcing to a contract manufacturer (CM). With a good CM, OEMs have the flexibility to contract a business to an external provider. The CM can be next door, in a different city, or across the country. In expanding global strategies, more OEMs are seeking out partners as a part of their broader recipe for success, as this strategy allows for increased research and development, while pursuing growth opportunities.

Staying competitive requires the strongest expertise in quality systems, with verification and validation throughout the entire build process. This requires the remastering of parts multiple times per day, ensuring that the error-proofing process is strictly adhered to and guaranteeing shipment of the highest quality product. As the OEM has invested millions into their products, the CM has invested to do the same with error-proofing systems, vision systems, etc., to ensure repeatable quality results.

Reviewing customer scorecards is a good starting place. Look for trends in performance that indicate stability and an organization with a solid culture of doing the right things consistently. In addition to meeting quality certifications like TS 16949, a CM’s quality ratings from their client base is a key indicator of how they have performed over the recent year and gives an accurate picture as to what their corporate culture dictates as the norm.

The tangible gains to an OEM from establishing a partnership with a professional CM can lead to satisfied customers, reduced fixed costs, and mitigation of risk. The intangible benefit, not often realized, is that your supplier partner is, by design, “the man behind the curtain.” The CM has no desire to be in the limelight and will not compete against its OEM customer. The professional CM trusts that if they do what it takes to act like an owner, the OEM will come knocking again.

Patrick McGowan is vice president, business development, for AIAG member Performance Assembly Solutions (PAS).

Early Registration to the 2006 Yearbook of Chinese Tourism to Europe Now Open to Tourism Promotion Boards and Tourism Service Providers in Europe

Posted by on February 11, 2012 1 comment

Early Registration to the 2006 Yearbook of Chinese Tourism to Europe Now Open to Tourism Promotion Boards and Tourism Service Providers in Europe










(PRWEB) August 10, 2005

As an organisation or company interested in attracting Chinese tourists, finding the most direct, effective and cost-saving method to reach your target market in China is highly prized. While many are interested in China’s outbound market it is difficult to find a direct means of promotion that is both trustworthy and reliably distributed to the decision makers and consumers of your product or service.

CContact Ltd. in partnership with the China Outbound Tourism Association (COP) is preparing to publish in 2006 a definitive information resource about Europe’s tourism potential for the Chinese outbound tourism industry. The yearbook will provide relevant and up to date information about Europe as a tourism destination for Chinese tourists and will be aimed at Chinese travel agents, tourism officials, tourism media, students of tourism studies (tomorrow’s industry) and to interested general public in China.

COP Director, Professor Wolfgang Arlt said: “Since this yearbook on Europe is published by the China Outbound Tourism Association, a non-profit organisation that cooperates closely with China’s tourism administration, it is guaranteed to be delivered directly to the top 7,000 decision makers and policy influencers in the tourism industry, including agents, associations, administrative offices and media.”

CContact Ltd. Director Roy Graff sees this publication as the best form of direct marketing. “General advertising is pointless for reaching the tourism industry in China. As the government controls the tourism policy, publications that win official approval, like this yearbook, have the most credibility in the market.”

As a reference resource, the book will contain no advertisements. Only featured articles containing useful and positive information about destinations, products and companies in Europe will be featured, as well as general information and statistics about Europe. Feature articles can be submitted by tourism promotion boards, tour operators, tour attractions and travel service providers. The editors will provide advice on suitable content for the Chinese market. A typical article is 3 x A4 pages long with text and one colour photo. The cost is €2,500. Additional page is €1,000. Front and back cover photos can be sponsored.

Articles will be accepted on a ‘first come first serve’ basis. Deadline for article submission is 30 November 2005. More information is available on http://www.ccontact.com

About CContact Limited: Providing consulting, training and representation service for Western tourism companies and tourism destinations who wish to enter the Chinese travel market.

CContact Director Roy Graff was China business development manager and e-commerce director for a leading international travel wholesaler. He spent the past three years in China developing outbound tourism.

Range Rover Evoque, Available at Prestige Auto Rentals, Receives Two Renowned Awards

Range Rover Evoque, Available at Prestige Auto Rentals, Receives Two Renowned Awards











The new 2012 Range Rover Evoque


Paramus, NJ (PRWEB) January 25, 2012

Prestige Auto Rentals of New Jersey is proud to offer the multiple award-winning 2012 Range Rover Evoque for rental. The new crossover SUV is the most fuel-efficient Range Rover ever built, and it recently added two more acclaimed honors to its already impressive résumé.

The Range Rover Evoque was named “2012 North American Truck of the Year” at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It was chosen over the Honda CR-V and the BMW X3 by a jury of 50 automotive journalists from the United States and Canada. Vehicles are judged on a variety of factors, including innovation, comfort, safety, design and value for the dollar.

Alex Taylor, a juror representing Fortune magazine, wrote: “Range Rover successfully charts a new direction for the venerable SUV trailblazer with a fresh design and advanced thinking about environmental issues.”

Autoweek Magazine named the Range Rover Evoque “Best of the Best/Truck for 2012” over the Mercedes-Benz ML and the BMW X3. Andrew Stoy, Autoweek digital editor, wrote that the Evoque achieves Land Rover’s “goal of building a Range Rover for the 21st century.”

“The Evoque makes good on the promise to build a lighter-weight, more fuel-efficient utility vehicle that maintains the Range Rover tradition of top-shelf refinement and sterling off-road capability,” Stoy wrote. “With only a four-cylinder engine under the hood, the Evoque still manages to impress with its turbocharged acceleration while also posting huge gains in fuel economy.”

Prestige Auto Rentals of New Jersey specializes in Land Rover and Range Rover rentals in the greater New York City area, and is the only company in the region offering the 2012 Range Rover Evoque for rental. Other luxury SUV rentals available from Prestige include the Land Rover LR4, the Land Rover LR2 and the Range Rover.

“With a vehicle like the Range Rover Evoque, we believe that we’re offering more than just a car rental. We’re offering an experience,” said Prestige Auto Rentals Manager Joseph Lachina. “As the awards continue to pile up – it’s received over 50 now – the Evoque is proving to the automotive world that it’s a ground-breaking re-interpretation of the smaller SUV.”

Located just outside New York City in Paramus, New Jersey, Prestige Auto Rentals is just minutes from the George Washington Bridge. Customers – call Joseph Lachina at 201-987-8900 to reserve a Land Rover or Range Rover rental or book online at PrestigeAutoRentals.com.

About Prestige Auto Rentals

Prestige Auto Rentals of New Jersey is committed to providing a fleet of clean, reliable luxury SUVs, as well as outstanding personal service, to the greater New York City area. Prestige operates a second auto rental location in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, serving the Aspen/Vail area.

Renaissance Charleston, SC Hotel Offers Cruise Deal in Time for Winter Escape

Renaissance Charleston, SC Hotel Offers Cruise Deal in Time for Winter Escape











Renaissance Charleston Historic District Hotel


Charleston, SC (PRWEB) February 02, 2012

Planning a cruise is always a special occasion, made even more special by the magic of the holiday season. For those families spending the holiday season at sea and visiting tropical ports-of-call, consider staying at the Renaissance Charleston Historic District Hotel. Located just one mile from the Port of Charleston—a popular cruise ship port—the Renaissance hotel is a favorite amongst downtown Charleston hotels, and is offering a special hotel deal for those leaving on a cruise vacation.

One of the biggest (and only) hassles of a cruise is finding the best place to park. While many private parking lots look affordable initially, the cost adds up over the course of a cruise. Fortunately, this Renaissance hotel has the answer in the form of a Charleston hotel deal: the Park and Cruise Package gives families and guests an affordable and safe place to leave their car while providing great overnight accommodations near the cruise terminal.

Instead of rushing to the Port of Charleston, guests staying at one of the best downtown Charleston hotels can simply sleep overnight, knowing that the next morning will be as simple as boarding a shuttle or taxi to the Port of Charleston. With all the extra time afforded to guests before their cruise, they can enjoy a relaxing breakfast at the on-site Wentworth Grill (up to two adults per Charleston hotel deal). And since the Park and Cruise Package offers complimentary parking for up to 11 days, guests won’t have to stress about costly parking spaces while sailing the high seas.

Another benefit of taking advantage of this Charleston hotel deal is the ability to explore downtown Charleston before a cruise. Since guests will not have to scramble to the Port of Charleston the next morning, they are free to go about the town and enjoy the historic district, which is particularly vibrant during the holiday season. Holiday events include everything from sleigh rides through town to walking tours of some of the most elaborately decorated buildings in Charleston—and even a holiday pub crawl.

To book the Park and Cruise Package at the Renaissance Charleston, SC hotel, simply use promotional code QZR online or by calling 1-800-228-9290. This deal is valid seven days a week through 1/16/12. For more information about this and other Renaissance Charleston hotel packages, visit http://www.marriott.com/CHSBR

About the Renaissance Charleston Historic District Hotel

The recently renovated Renaissance Charleston Historic District Hotel represents the newest upscale property in the city’s oldest quarter. Guests will be captivated by the hotel’s style, which incorporates southern ambiance with a modern flair. The location in the heart of the city is perfect for shopping on King Street, enjoying the Spoleto Festival, visiting the College of Charleston, or strolling through the City Market. The luxurious accommodations and deluxe amenities, along with delectable cuisine at Wentworth Grill pamper guests with southern charm and hospitality. For additional hotel information and reservations call: 1-888-236-2427, or visit http://www.marriott.com/CHSBR.

New Science + You Exhibit at Bay Area Discovery Museum Connects Kids with Scientists











Sausalito, CA (PRWEB) January 30, 2012

Bay Area Discovery Museum is proud to present Science + You, a groundbreaking new exhibit developed by Kohl Children’s Museum and designed in conjunction with scientists at Abbott, the global health care company with a significant presence in the Bay Area. This special exhibit is open through April 15, 2012 and is included with general Museum admission. http://www.baykidsmuseum.org/tour-the-museum/special-exhibits/science-you/

Underwritten by Abbott’s philanthropic foundation, the Abbott Fund, the 1,200 sq. ft. Science + You exhibit offers a child-sized laboratory where children can explore how scientists impact health and wellness. Through hands-on, interactive machinery, processes and technology, Science + You demonstrates the role science plays in keeping the body healthy. A demonstration area of the exhibit also will allow Abbott scientists to visit and perform fun and interactive scientific experiments appropriate for young children.

Science + You debuted in the Chicago area at Kohl Children’s Museum. Following its presentation at the Bay Area Discovery Museum, Science + You will travel to museums in Washington D.C., Germany, India and Brazil, with the exhibit presented in multiple languages.

“We are thrilled to be a part of this unique and exciting exhibit that allows children to become young scientists. Using the hands-on tools, machines and processes in the exhibit will help stimulate creativity thinking,” said Karyn Flynn, Interim Executive Director of the Bay Area Discovery Museum.

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE EXHIBIT

Children will enter the exhibit as if entering a real-life laboratory. Children can even walk through a pretend shower to be bathed in blue lights before they put on their white lab coat.

Demonstrating how antibodies act in the body, this component of the exhibit offers children the opportunity to understand a complex process through play. A clear Plexiglas structure is filled with magnetic balls, which represent “germs” in the body.

Children can use a glovebox, a sealed container used by real-life scientists, with gloves built into the sides allowing one to manipulate objects safely. Demonstrating how scientists use a glovebox to contain materials as well as protect themselves, the children will wear thick gloves to measure substances using beakers, funnels and other lab equipment.

The magnification area features a specialized Wentzscope and video microscopes that magnify objects on a large video screen, allowing younger children to compare and contrast an array of natural and man-made items up close.

Science has shown us that we need a balanced lifestyle to stay healthy. This exhibit component emphasizes the importance of nutrition, exercise and rest with an interactive activity.

In the test kitchen children will make a ‘healthy soup’ choosing their own combination of appropriate ingredients. Teaching children the importance of a balanced diet, this exhibit has stations with soup pots that can hold up to six ingredients. Children pick the ingredients from the five food groups. The burner under their soup pot lights up when they’ve selected the correct balance of healthy ingredients.
