Northern Brewer Selects Retail Anywhere POS for NetSuite to Support Store Operations

Northern Brewer Selects Retail Anywhere POS for NetSuite to Support Store Operations












Paso Robles, CA (PRWEB) February 15, 2012

Retail Anywhere, a leading provider of point of sale and retail management systems for midsize retailers, today announced that Northern Brewer of Minnesota selected and implemented Retail Anywhere POS with complete integration to NetSuite. Retail Anywhere POS and NetSuite provide an end-to-end, cloud based, multi-channel retail software solution for Northern Brewer.

Established in 1993 as a homebrew supply company, Northern Brewer has grown to be a multi-channel retailer with catalog, eCommerce, and three brick and mortar retail locations with sales supported by more than 100 employees and a 42,000 square foot warehouse. Northern Brewer sells everything an experienced or novice homebrewer needs and offers homebrewing classes to further support the needs and interests of their customers.

Northern Brewer’s legacy POS solution lacked sophisticated POS functionality and was vulnerable to downtime as it was an internet based solution. Functionality and downtime was holding the retailer back from achieving good customer service and streamlined efficiencies in the store. With a plan to expand the number of store locations and implement a multi-channel strategy, Northern Brewer relied on experienced POS provider Retail Anywhere.

“We needed a POS partner with a proven track record in the specialty retail space,” said Chris Farley, the founder and CEO of Northern Brewer. “ Retail Anywhere POS with integration to NetSuite will deliver a robust solution along with 360 degrees of visibility throughout our organization, allowing us to improve operations and ultimately satisfy our cross-channel shoppers.”

Retail Anywhere POS runs locally on POS hardware and utilizes Web services to support near real-time, bi-directional integration between NetSuite. The solution delivers an end-to-end, multi-channel retail management system with a single data source that helps midsize retailers unify their business and take advantage of the significant economic benefits of cloud computing.

“We were thrilled when Northern Brewer approached us for POS,” said Branden Jenkins, CEO of Retail Anywhere. “Their requirements and frustrations with previous POS solutions made them a perfect customer for early adoption of Retail Anywhere POS with integration to NetSuite. The integrated retail ERP system delivers a robust, cloud-based solution enabling Northern Brewer to achieve their plans for multi-channel retailing and company growth.”

As a NetSuite Solution Provider, Retail Anywhere provides its customers with NetSuite’s ERP platform and required NetSuite retail modules along with Retail Anywhere POS. Retail Anywhere also works with existing NetSuite users, like Northern Brewer, looking to adopt an integrated point of sale solution.

Adorama Camera Opens Online Shop for Innovative iPhone Photo Accessories

Adorama Camera Opens Online Shop for Innovative iPhone Photo Accessories











Great for shooting smooth, dolly-style video clips with an iPhone, Cineskates are one of the more offbeat items available at Adorama’s iPhone Toolshed.


Chelsea, NY (PRWEB) February 02, 2012

Apple’s iPhone has become the most ubiquitous camera on Earth, and Adorama aims to make it a better one with its new online iPhoneography shop. Created by the nation’s most advanced photo and electronics retailer, the iPhone Toolshed offers an exclusive selection of some of the best accessories for picture-taking with the phenomenal iPhone. Clear, lighthearted explanations of each product’s benefits accompany links to the Adorama product page where the item can be purchased—at a price that can’t be matched by other dealers.

Products in the iPhone Toolshed include innovative devices that take advantage of the iPhone 4/4S’s new ability to shoot high-definition video. Among these are Cineskates, a clever combination of flexible tripod and skateboard wheels that allows the iPhone to shoot rolling, high-definition video clips. Likewise, the Kogeto Dot lets the iPhone capture 360-degree immersive video that can be played back on an iPhone or computer, with finger- or mouse-controlled navigation.

Adorama’s hand-picked choices also feature highly practical items for both still photography and video. Belkin’s LiveAction Camera Grip, for example, allows the iPhone to be held just like a normal compact camera. (A top-deck shutter button connects electronically to the iPhone through the grip’s docking plug.) This ability reduces the risk of a blurred image, which is otherwise high with the iPhone because of the fingertip-grip required by its thin profile.

Then there’s the elegant Glif, a simple, form-fitting holder that allows the iPhone to be mounted on a tripod. The Glif doubles as a slip-on stand for more comfortable, angled viewing of photos and video. (FaceTime, too.) And the Olloclip is a tiny optical hub that slips right over the lens corner of an iPhone—endowing the device with wide-angle, fisheye, and close-up optical options.

As more and more accessories for what has come to be called iPhoneography appear in the burgeoning iPhone marketplace, Adorama will add to the iPhone Toolshed, which can be visited at adorama.com/iphonetoolshed. But any new product featured in this online emporium will have to meet a high standard of inventiveness and/or practicality, as evaluated by Adorama’s resident experts. First-time visitors to the iPhone Toolshed should be sure to return for a second look—to see what other imaginative devices the iPhone has inspired.

For more information about Adorama’s photographic resources, please contact Russell Hart at russellh(at)adorama(dot)com or (212) 741-0052, ext. 2423.

About Adorama: As one of the nation’s largest photo retail and mail order suppliers, Adorama has served professional and amateur photographers for 33 years. It has recently expanded its service to the community through online photo education (the Adorama Learning Center and Adorama TV) and on-site workshops, programs that make it a unique industry resource. Adorama’s vast product offerings now encompass home entertainment, mobile computing, and professional audio, while its services include an in-house photo lab (AdoramaPix) and pro equipment rental (Adorama Rental Company). Knowledgeable staff and unbeatable pricing make Adorama a one-stop shop for all your photo and technology needs. Visit http://www.adorama.com.

Modern Romance Hits a Speed Bump and Gets a Twist in New Verse Novel for Adults

Modern Romance Hits a Speed Bump and Gets a Twist in New Verse Novel for Adults











Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 27, 2012

Kenya D. Williamson merges prose and poetry in her new novel about relationships and success with a rhythm made obvious in the opening of her 612-page book, “Depth of Focus: The Stanzas & A Novel” (ISBN 978-1468196740). With Valentine’s Day approaching, readers are offered an unconventional tale of a young woman chasing professional dreams while struggling to balance friendship, family and romance. She doesn’t want to fall in love. The combined volume contains 348 pages of stanzas followed by the same story told in 260 pages of paragraphs.

A poet, screenwriter and novelist, Williamson couldn’t resist incorporating verse into the adaptation of her original script. “I wanted readers who don’t consider themselves poetry fans to enjoy the book too,” Williamson said. “And if they were curious, I wanted to give them a chance to see what was going on beneath the phrasing. It took a lot of work and a lot of obsessing over every syllable. My eyes are still bloodshot.”

Set in New York and Pennsylvania, the story follows a young, aspiring photographer who discovers her pursuit of success and independence might come at a very high cost. Family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, acquaintances, exes and a lover pull her in different directions. As the demands for her time increase, she’s tempted to sever ties, copying her father’s example. But, the relationships she suspects are thwarting her plans might be the very ones that help her overcome nightmares, confront her shrouded past and finally succeed guilt-free.

Williamson gives readers a glimpse of a woman battling a fear of intimacy that starts in the protagonist’s turbulent childhood. But, every character’s history makes it difficult for each to be honest and vulnerable. The frailty, strength and beauty of people attempting to forge, preserve or renew the bonds between them are revealed with drama and humor. Everyone’s looking to connect. And by the end, some even figure out how to do it.

“Depth of Focus: The Stanzas & A Novel” is available as the combined volume or two separate books online at Amazon.com and other channels. Free excerpts are posted on the author’s site. Visit http://kenyadwilliamson.com/Depth_of_Focus-A_Novel.htm or http://www.amazon.com/author/kenya.d.williamson to learn more.

About the Author:

Kenya D. Williamson studied Theater at Philadelphia’s Temple University before relocating to Los Angeles. The Levittown native acts and writes short fiction, scripts for TV, film and the internet, poetry and verse novels.

Review copies and interviews available.

MRIS CEO David Charron and Regional Industry Leaders Recognized as Real Estate Innovators

MRIS CEO David Charron and Regional Industry Leaders Recognized as Real Estate Innovators











David C. Charron


Rockville, MD (PRWEB) January 27, 2012

Metropolitan Regional Information Systems (MRIS) is pleased to recognize David C. Charron, president and chief executive officer of MRIS, and additional influential industry figures with local connections. Inman News, the nation’s leading source of independent real estate news, recently released its annual list of the 100 most influential people in real estate.The Inman selections spotlight the innovation and accomplishments integral to moving the regional housing market forward last year, and in the future.

The Inman 100 list recognizes the most influential real estate leaders of each year. It is a list of power brokers, thought leaders and industry visionaries. Along with David C. Charron, several others with local ties include: Jeffrey Detwiler, president and chief operating officer of Long & Foster® Companies; Shaun Donovan, Secretary of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; Todd John, chief operating officer of Listingbook, LLC.

David C. Charron is chief executive officer and president of MRIS, one of the largest multiple listing services in the nation, facilitating more than $ 100 million a day in real estate transactions in the Mid-Atlantic region. As a national expert in residential real estate, executive leadership and industry collaboration, Charron serves as Chairman of the MRIS Investment Committee, was a founding member of the COVE Group (a group of major market information providers), served as a Board member of the REALTORS® Federal Credit Union, and was a member of the NAR MLS Policy Committee. Charron is a prior recipient of the Inman 100 award and has also been named as one of the “Top Ten Newsmakers” by the Swanepoel Trends Report. He was selected “Volunteer of the Year” by the National Eating Disorders Association, which provides education and awareness to individuals and families suffering from eating disorders. Charron has stated that, “the real estate market’s most important commodity – and the cornerstone of an eventual housing recovery – is timely and accurate information on the local level with a real-world perspective. This also allows public, government, financial institutions, investors and real estate professionals to make informed decisions.” He was acknowledged and applauded this year by MRIS for his decade of service to the company, for his innovation on the service side, and his focus on financial integrity and performance.

Jeffrey S. Detwiler is chief operating officer and president of Long & Foster, one of the largest real estate companies in the Mid-Atlantic Region with over 170 offices and more than 11,000 sales associates. Inman recognizes Detwiler for his direction of Long & Foster Real Estate’s release of a free interactive mapping tool that displays market reports by various geographic factors for areas in the company’s Mid-Atlantic region. In more than twenty years of broad mortgage industry experience, he’s held executive positions that span the industry’s spectrum: in the loan originations market, as a Wall Street investor, and as an investment banker, among others.

Shaun Donovan was sworn in as the 15th U.S. Secretary for Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in January 2009 after serving as commissioner for New York City’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development. HUD works to implement several Obama administration programs intended to avoid foreclosure, and Donovan’s tenure as HUD Secretary reflects his commitment to making quality housing possible for every American.

Todd John joined Listingbook as chief operating officer in 2008. In 2011, Listingbook released an “advanced intelligence” version of its property search platform, which streamlines, via enhanced client-tracking capability for agents, the road to signed contracts. Before joining Listingbook, John worked eight years in various divisions, including e-commerce and advertising at AOL. Listingbook is an affiliate product offered to MRIS customers to help them sell their real estate listings faster.

“To be a part of the Inman 100 is an honor since it speaks to our commitment to the advancement of the real estate industry in quantitative ways,” said Charron. “I’m pleased to see other local visionaries on the Inman 100 list that have each contributed to helping the real estate market recover in 2012 and beyond.”

Sebastian Copeland and Eric McNair-Landry Make History by Reaching Antarctica’s Pole of Inaccessibility

Sebastian Copeland and Eric McNair-Landry Make History by Reaching Antarctica’s Pole of Inaccessibility












Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 21, 2012

On December 27 2011 at 19:30 hours GST, after 53 days of travel, Sebastian Copeland and Eric McNair-Landry completed their 1st of polar firsts by reaching the Pole of Inaccessibility, from the eastern coast of Antarctica, and without outside assistance, representing a first in polar exploration.

The POI, considered the heart of the Antarctica continent is the most desolate place on the white continent. It is the farthest point from any coast, and regarded as the most difficult place to reach in complete autonomy on Antarctica. Skis and kites were used to cover the 1,068 km from the Russian base station Novolazarevskaya. This is the first leg of an 84 day unsupported mission. The next stage is to open the never-traveled route linking the POI to the South Pole, setting steps where none have been before. The journey, set to be completed by January 26th, will total almost 4000 km, over 84 days. A book and documentary will be chronicling this mission.

100 years ago, adventurers Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott made history with their first reach of the South Pole. To commemorate their extraordinary feat and courage, this historical crossing aims to honor their accomplishment by opening a never-before traveled course linking the Antarctic coast east to west. The trip will begin in Cape Town; from there a Russian Ilyushin 76 will transport Sebastian and Eric, and their 800 pounds of food and gear to the eastern coast of Antarctica at Novo Station. They will then set off on the estimated 85-90 day journey, through the coldest continent on Earth. The first major reaching point will be the Pole of Inaccessibility, and then they travel across the geographic South Pole, ending at Hercules Inlet. Among the many challenges they will face are the herculean effort of pulling 400 pounds up the glacier through treacherous hidden crevasse fields; -40C to -30C degree average temperatures outside of wind chill; frostbites; changing weather patterns that can turn to hurricane strength storms; the bone rattling hard ice and the sastrugi they will be skiing over at speed with their kites; and much more. How Sebastian and Eric overcome these, as well as the other many challenges, will be documented daily with photographs and the daily blog, and assembled into a documentary.

“There are few places on Earth that instantly conjure awe and a quiet respect” said Copeland. “In 1911, Scott and Amundsen etched their name in history by being the first to conquer the South Pole. This Legacy crossing aims to honor their memory by linking, in one continuous trip, an East/West traverse of the most inhospitable environment on Earth, setting tracks where no man has been before.”

Sebastian is using iridium satellite technology to blog daily onto his website. Along with the daily entries, a GPS signal will also track the expedition’s progress on a dynamic map at sebastiancopeland.com. The entire adventure will be documented on HD for a planned documentary.

Sebastian will be photographing the ice along the way to document surface conditions that will provide valuable information for the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Boulder Colorado, information that will help determine snow accumulation along some never before visited areas.

A tree will be planted for each kilometer traveled during this expedition, and the trip will be made Carbon Neutral thanks to Climate Partner.

Other sponsors include HP, Napapijri, Revo Sunglasses, Lexar, Rossignol, Ozone Kites, Hilleberg tents, Herbalife and ColdAvenger, Climate Partner.

ABOUT SEBASTIAN COPELAND

As an award-winning photographer, author, lecturer and environmental activist, Sebastian Copeland has made the fight for the protection of the environment his life’s work. His photographic study of Antarctica, assembled in the book Antarctica: The Global Warning, won him the IPA’s 2007 Photographer of the Year award. In 2009, Copeland, a board member and tireless advocate for Global Green USA, traveled the Arctic with expedition partner Keith Heger on a journey to reach the North Pole in hopes of raising awareness on climate change and its effects on the Arctic region. The outcome of this voyage is the riveting documentary Into the Cold: A Journey of the Soul (2010). On Greenland, which he crossed in 2010 with partner Eric McNair-Landry, Sebastian set a world record for the longest distance traveled in a twenty-four hour period on skis and kites, with 595 kilometers. As an international speaker on climate crisis for over a decade, Copeland has addressed audiences at the United Nations, the World Affairs Council, the General Assembly on Climate in New Orleans, the George Eastman House, Google Headquarters and to Apple’s Senior Design Team amongst others. He has appeared on Larry King Live, NBC, NPR, Air America, and Al Gore’s Current TV, as a champion of environmental causes.

ABOUT ERIC MCNAIR-LANDRY

Eric McNair-Landry studied engineering at Acadia University. In 2004-5 he took off a year of school to join the family Kites on Ice Expedition and became the first American/Canadian to haul un-resupplied to the South Pole. Eric has crossed the Greenland ice cap in its 2300 km South-North axis and holds, with partner Sebastian Copeland, a world record for the longest distance traveled on kite and skis over a 24-hour period, with 595 km. In 2011, Eric and his sister were the first to travel the length of the Northwest Passage in winter on skis and kites. Eric is passionate about kiting. When there is no wind, he spends his time in teaching himself computer graphics and website design.

DTC Marketing is experiencing some of the biggest growths since its inception in 1997: Consumers have more control and input in their healthcare than ever before; pharmaceutical brands are finding new and creative ways to dialogue with their patients; and new channels and platforms are emerging at a progressive rate to support such initiatives. It is crucial that the industry band together to help shape its future.

Providing an open forum to do just that, DTC Perspectives has assembled a superlative faculty of speakers for this year’s DTC National Conference. As the premier annual event for DTC Marketers, the upcoming conference will be held April 10-12, 2012 at the J.W. Marriott in Washington, D.C. Attendees will hear from keynote speakers and industry thought-leaders, featuring the latest media and creative innovations, market research and ROI best practices, regulatory issues and updates, plus several exclusive marketing case studies. Delegates will glean true insights from established industry leaders over three days of general sessions and networking opportunities.

Dana Maiman, CEO of DraftFCB New York and CEO/President of DraftFCB Healthcare will share her perspective on the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead of marketers, helping them discover new ways to innovate across media types to develop successful DTC campaigns. In a unique joint presentation by Pfizer’s Paul Ewing, Senior Director/Group Leader, Patient Marketing US Primary Care Patient & Physician Marketing, and Todd Kolm, Director, Emerging Channel Strategy, US Primary Care, these two executives will discuss emerging trends shaping the DTC landscape along with the resulting opportunities. They will also cover some of Pfizer’s recent initiatives, teaching attendees how they can apply new approaches to their own campaigns.

Michael Sauers, Team Leader of DTC Group 1, and Helen Sullivan, Researcher of DTC Review Group 2, will then field delegates’ questions in a separate session dedicated to Q&A.
