BrideLive.com Offers Wedding Vendors a Way to Reach Out to Brides in Need












Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 31, 2012

Planning a wedding is one of the most stressful events one may encounter throughout their lifetime. Tack on having a physical disability to this already overwhelming process and stress levels go up to an all-time high. When you are disabled, there is a unique set of barriers you must overcome, including all the physical, emotional and logistical matters involved in the wedding planning process. Chrissy and Derek Teitel of New Jersey have experienced these roadblocks first hand, and with the help of two innovative wedding vendors and a new product called BrideLive.com, they were able to have the wedding of their dreams.

Chrissy has been disabled her whole life. She was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder along with orthopedic impairments. Her husband Derek has Cerebral Palsy and uses assistive devices to get around. Unreliable public transportation and vendor locations with limited access made it difficult for the two of them to plan their wedding. Finding vendors that could meet their needs and provide support in an easy and accessible way was extremely important to them.

When they came across Red Bank, New Jersey based wedding vendor CLB Photography, Chrissy and Derek felt they had hit the jackpot. Not only were these two vendors located in the same office on the first floor of an accessible building, they also offered a unique service called BrideLive.com.

According to Chrissy, “We knew from the beginning that these two vendors were the ones for us. Using BrideLive.com allowed me to coordinate my wedding from the comfort of my very own home and computer. We never felt our disability was ever an issue. We are like every other couple in love (with a few adjustments) and these amazing vendors got us!”

BrideLive.com is a new web-based video conferencing platform, designed specifically for the wedding professional. Chrissy and Derek lived in two different locations; one in New Jersey and the other in New York. By offering BrideLive.com, Chris and Suzanne Lo Bue of CLB Photography were able to provide Chrissy and Derek with the unique service they needed to prepare for their wedding day. “It was wonderful to be able to have a live video conversation online with both of them at once”, stated Chris.

When asked what ways BrideLive.com was used with this couple, Chris went on to say “We pride ourselves on our photography timeline, which to us is essential to the wedding day. Our timeline allows us to maximize our time to photograph couples and get them back to enjoying their wedding as quickly as possible, without missing the party action. Using BrideLive.com with Chrissy and Derek allowed us to set-up our timeline and reassure them that there would be enough time to take all the photos they hired us for. I think seeing our facial expression put them at ease that we had a proper wedding day plan.”

About BrideLive.com

Headquartered in Sherman Oaks, California and based on technology that has been in development and commercial production for over eight years, BrideLive.com launched in 2011 as a custom software company and is frequently recognized for its rapid sustained growth, product excellence, and superb multi-media user interface.

Schools Take Note of Tryten?s Computer Security Mounts

Schools Take Note of Tryten’s Computer Security Mounts











Mac Mini Security Mount


Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) June 13, 2011

With school districts throughout the U.S facing significant budget cuts this year, educational institutions are recognizing how physical computer security can prevent costly IT equipment thefts and losses. “We have noticed a significant increase in the number of schools implementing computer security mounts in their labs, libraries and classrooms during this past year,” said Michael Fairbanks, vice president of sales at Tryten Technologies Inc. The sheer volume of unauthorized traffic within most educational environments leaves schools, colleges and universities especially vulnerable to theft or damage of expensive IT assets. Tryten’s security mounts and enclosures are a primary first line of defense for protecting sensitive data, and they eliminate the need to recover or replace costly school computer equipment.

Modern schools are increasingly reliant on technology to facilitate the flow of information, the sharing of knowledge and access to academic resources. As this reliance on IT equipment increases, the challenge of managing loss prevention without placing undue restrictions on the end user also becomes an issue. Tryten has developed a range of innovative security mounts that are designed to provide functional yet secure theft solutions. Security mounts offer schools all the advantages of traditional mounting gear, including ergonomic benefits and added work surface space, in addition to providing the necessary security features. Some of the most widely implemented school security mounts include Tryten’s Mac Mini Security Mount, the iPad Locking Mount, and the Adjustable Computer Enclosure. For more information or to purchase these Security Mounts, please visit: http://www.tryten.com.

Company Profile

For nearly twenty years Tryten Technologies Inc. has worked closely with organizations from around the world to develop physical computer security solutions that best adapt to each unique environment.

Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants Acquires Landmark Portland Hotel











RiverPlace Hotel, Portland, Oregon


Portland, Ore. (PRWEB) February 10, 2012

Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants expanded its collection in Portland this week with the purchase of the award-winning RiverPlace Hotel and Three Degrees Waterfront Bar & Grill. Kimpton acquired the hotel with its KHP II private equity fund. The 84-room boutique hotel and picturesque restaurant are the sixth property Kimpton has purchased with KHP II. Others acquired via the fund since its close in 2008 include the Hotel Monaco Philadelphia, Hotel Monaco Baltimore, Hotel Palomar Philadelphia, Hotel Palomar San Diego and the Hotel Palomar Chicago. RiverPlace Hotel is Kimpton’s third Portland hotel, joining the Hotel Monaco and the Vintage Plaza.

Perched on the historic Willamette River, Portland’s only riverfront hotel is a natural urban retreat. Spacious rooms and a warm inviting décor promise a soothing respite, highlighted through personalized service that Kimpton guests know and love.

The RiverPlace Hotel offers a resort-lodge feel with plush guestrooms full of four diamond comforts, natural light streaming through large picture windows and sweeping views of the water.

The hotel’s design will be refreshed to give the RiverPlace Hotel that signature Kimpton look and feel. These changes include new artwork in the guestrooms, as well as new pillows and bed throws that embody the comfortable elegance and chic style of Kimpton hotels.

Long-term business travelers and families alike can enjoy 10 one-and two-bedroom suites, complete with full kitchens, wood-burning fireplaces and balconies overlooking the Willamette. The hotel includes more than 4,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space, including a private room in the restaurant.

The breathtaking view from Riverview Courtyard is an ideal space for outdoor receptions.

“Portland was Kimpton’s first market outside of San Francisco, so it’s a place that has always been important to the company,” said Mike Depatie, CEO, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants. “The RiverPlace Hotel, with its fantastic location along the water and access to outdoor recreation embodies the essence of Portland. With our focus on bringing the local flavor of every city to each guest experience, it’s a perfect fit for the Kimpton brand,” said Kimpton CEO Michael Depatie. “And as an investment, it’s even better – prime riverfront real estate with a high barrier to entry due to limits on new construction.”

The RiverPlace Hotel’s theme of tranquil escape comes from many inspirations, including the adjacent full-service Point Spa, striking mountain vistas, a complimentary bicycle rental program and access to the waterfront path along the river.

“The prime riverfront location is a main reason this hotel has become the first choice for leisure travelers,” said Depatie. “Now that our Portland collection includes a hotel on the water, we can appeal to clientele who seek a place with great scenery and leisure activities that make this a true destination city.”

RiverPlace Hotel will offer all the signature Kimpton programs such as the hosted evening wine reception, animal print robes, Guppy Love (in-room goldfish upon request), Kimpton InTouch loyalty program perks, pet-friendly practices and Kimpton’s EarthCare program, which includes more than 100 eco-friendly operating practices.

Reservations can be made at http://www.riverplacehotel.com or 1-800 KIMPTON.

NSF Grant Aims to Bring Computer Games to College Classrooms

NSF Grant Aims to Bring Computer Games to College Classrooms










Vancouver, Wash. (PRWEB) June 15, 2007

College students studying computer science may one day be able to bring their gaming hobbies and their studies together in the classroom.

The National Science Foundation has awarded nearly $ 150,000 to Scott Wallace, assistant professor of computer science at Washington State University Vancouver, and Andrew Nierman, assistant professor of computer science at the University of Puget Sound, to develop computer game-based curricula for undergraduate computer science courses.

“Evidence suggests that computer games are helpful in retention,” said Wallace. “In the last 15 years, games have received increased attention in academia.”

Wallace’s work aims to work with instructors’ learning objectives, but use games as a vehicle to teach various software development courses.

“Computer science students today are pretty familiar with game technology,” Wallace said, “often to the extent that they know how to build their own games. We can apply this to game development courses, and also build curriculum models to apply to mainstream computer science courses from the college sophomore to graduate levels.”

The grant is for two years, and will also involve several undergraduate student assistants.

For more information about the WSU Vancouver computer science programs, visit http://www.vancouver.wsu.edu/encs/computerscience.html.

WSU Vancouver is located at 14204 N.E. Salmon Creek Ave., east of the 134th Street exit from either I-5 or I-205. WSU Vancouver offers 14 Bachelor’s degrees, nine Master’s degrees, one Doctorate degree and more than 35 fields of study. Visit us on the Web at http://www.vancouver.wsu.edu.
