Canine nutritional products have icon of a dog in the Dynamite “D.”

(PRWEB) February 22, 2012

As Dynamite Specialty Products completes its yearlong switch to environmentally friendly packaging with a new, contemporary logo, the extensive project is helping the company spread the word about its commitment to nature in nutrition for animals and humans.

Dynamite, which has been making all-natural food, vitamins and nutritional supplements for four generations, decided more than 26 months ago that it was time to revamp the logo and packaging to reinforce its commitment to natural ingredients.

It started working with Foerstel Design in Boise to develop a new look and tag line that would stress its commitment to natural ingredients in products for horses, dogs, humans and virtually all living creatures.

The tag line became “Innovation Guided By Nature, Backed By Science.” Several other tag lines were considered, including “Honest to Goodness Quality,” “Naturally Powerful. Scientifically Proven,” “Solid Science, Naturally Better.” The final version was selected because it succinctly communicates Dynamite’s foundation of doing things naturally while relying on scientifically proven results.

The graphic revisions were a major decision for Dynamite. The logo had been updated one time since its inception in 1982, but it was time for a fresh look.

To create a complete synergistic package with the selected tagline, Dynamite’s goal was to develop a strong graphic image that would also convey its natural approach. The logo uses a strong typeface, Solex black italic, in an earthy color palette.

The graphic “D” of the corporate logo contains a highly stylized leaf that is meant to reinforce Dynamite’s organic and natural emphasis in its products and as a company.

The label was purposely designed to have a nostalgic feel to represent Dynamite’s longevity in the animal and human supplementation world.

Dynamite also wanted to give a better indication of the products’ uses and strengths on the front of the packaging. The logo system was further developed to include interchangeable graphics for different product lines.

For instance, Dynamite’s equine products have a logo that uses a horse icon in the “D” rather than the stylized leaf. This system can be seen in all the lines, including canine, feline, plant foods, wound care, exotics, avian and machinery. Custom colors also help define each product line within the Dynamite lineup.

“The next step in the process was finding an alternative to plastic containers. When we looked at a warehouse full of plastic containers, we knew we had to do something differently,” said Debbie Johnson, marketing director at Dynamite Specialty Products.

“Our desire to be good stewards of the earth was even more important than our desire to have a new look,” said Callie Novak, Dynamite CEO. “It took us nine months to complete the process of replacing plastic containers with multi-walled kraft bags made of recyclable paper and sewn at the top. The bags have an earth-friendly moisture and grease barrier that is safe for animals and will break down in the recycling process.”

“We selected our paper bag manufacturer through its affiliation with the Sustainable Packaging Coalition. The biodegradable moisture and grease barrier is a patented product. The manufacturer also uses only Sustainable Forestry Initiative® certified paper. The components of the packaging line up with Dynamite’s goals,” Johnson added.

While the switch has been costly in dollars plus taking untold hours of company time, Dynamite expects to recover the costs within two years. “We cut the overall weight of our packaging by at least 300 percent and developed more space-efficient packaging as well, resulting in reduced shipping costs and reduced use of fossil fuels,” Novak said.

“For example, we previously used five-pound plastic buckets that weighed 10.4 ounces. Our new five-pound bag weighs only 1.6 ounces. The 25-pound bucket weighed 1.95 pounds, and the new bag weighs only 3.2 oz.

“The most important consideration,” she continued, “is the fact that we always have prided ourselves on using ecologically sensitive ingredients in our natural dog food, natural horse feed and other products. Making our manufacturing processes ‘greener’ is an extension of our commitment to the best possible nutrition.

“We’ve also thought ‘inside the box’ by instituting energy-saving practices such as energy-efficient lighting in our warehouse, automatic light switches in our office, paperless invoices and 100 percent recycled paper whenever paper is necessary.”

A family-owned business that has specialized in animal nutrition for four generations, Dynamite Marketing makes products for virtually every member of the animal kingdom. It has long developed food and nutritional supplements for prize-winning racehorses and working dogs across the country. Its specialists can recommend exactly what vitamins, minerals and other supplements best support dogs with arthritis, horses with laminitis, cats whose owners make their own food and cows with digestive issues.

Dynamite has worked with veterinarians and university researchers to produce specialty foods to correct nutritional deficiencies in animals ranging from Canadian muskoxen to peregrine falcons to zoo exotics.

Dynamite uses only natural ingredients, made in the United States for better quality control. Throughout its history, it has always looked at alternatives to animal by-products, antibiotics, chemical preservatives, fumigants, artificial coloring and other additives that have later caused health problems. Its manufacturing processes are so stringently controlled that Dynamite has a separate mill to produce feed for herbivores, such as horses and poultry that are especially sensitive to contamination from meat needed by other species such as dogs and cats. Products include natural horse feed, natural dog food, horse and dog nutritional supplements, and a low-grain dog food.

Dynamite has mills in Idaho and Iowa. Additional information is available at DynamiteSpecialty.com or by calling 1-800-697-7434.

Breckenridge, Colorado (PRWEB) February 18, 2012

The stunning Stafford Residence, a 5,000 square foot home in Breckenridge, Colorado designed by Michael F. Gallagher, Architect, recently won 8 awards in the Summit County Builder’s Association Parade of Homes.

In the 5,001-6,000 square feet category, Michael F. Gallagher, Architect’s Stafford Residence was awarded first place in Exterior Design and Elevation, Best Kitchen, Best Master Bedroom Suite and Best Home. In addition, Alan Evans of Elevation Building Group took first place in Builder Concept & Workmanship for his construction work on the home and NorthPoint Design won first place in their category for both Interior Furnishings and Interior Finishes.

The home also won Best Overall Home for the entire contest, regardless of square footage. The Best Overall Home award was presented by the Summit Association of Realtors.

Situated high atop a ridge overlooking the Breckenridge, Colorado Golf Club, with endless views extending to the entire Ten Mile Range, this spectacular custom home was designed to take full advantage of its dramatic 2.2-acre site. Architect Michael F. Gallagher worked closely with the owners to design a home on the steep lot that feels completely level and accessible. The open floor plan of this Energy Star™ rated home highlights the views of the Ten Mile Range, Peak 8 and the top of the Imperial Lift at Breckenridge Ski Resort. The entire living quarters are on one level, with the upper floors designed to accommodate guests, children and future grandchildren. Adjacent homes are virtually invisible from every room in the home.

Maximizing the mountain home’s southern exposure, Michael F. Gallagher, Architect designed a 350 square-foot outdoor living room that the owners plan to use all year long. Accessed through 9-foot by 9-foot doors in the great room, the outdoor living room faces due south and is protected from the wind. The floor is made up of stained and stamped concrete, while a fire pit and overhead heating provide warmth for year-round use. A state-of-the-art barbecue grill is built into the stone retaining wall. The room is covered by 14 feet of roof, while the adjacent hot tub was purposely left open to the sky for stargazing.

The “Next Generation” great room concept spans 3 levels, encompassing the living room, kitchen, dining, family and game rooms all the way up to third level lofts. A built-in sound system and home theater are enhanced by Acoustiblock soundproofing, preventing sound transmission between levels.

Additional highlights of the home include:

4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 3-car garage
Private den with custom fly-tying desk
Built-in home movie and sound system in upper great room
Massive custom timbers and timber trusses
Cold roof with metal apron
Energy Star™ rated
Solar thermal combination system
Energy recovery ventilator and humidifier

This year’s Parade of Homes featured 18 multi-family, single-family and remodeled homes throughout Summit County. The team working on the Stafford Residence included: Michael F. Gallagher, Architect; Alan Evans, Elevation Building Group and NorthPoint Design for interior design and furnishings.

Next up for Michael F. Gallagher, Architect is a showcase custom mountain home on a highly visible site on Shock Hill in Breckenridge, Colorado. Ground breaking is tentatively scheduled for mid-April. Some of the more interesting features of this new project include 11 wells to accommodate a geothermal system, a full-size, two-lane bowling alley, full automation of the home, numerous environmental mitigation solutions and more. Additional details of this project will be made available once construction is under way.

Vinyl Strap Pool Furniture

Lexington, VA (PRWEB) February 21, 2012

Though it’s less than three months in, the 2012 housing market is starting to pick up. There are reports that 2012 could be the year we have all been waiting for – the year residential and commercial property sales start to rise again. According to the most recent American Institute of Architects Home Design Trends Survey, there has been an rise in the number of homeowners investing in outdoor living spaces in their homes. 60% of respondents feel a beautiful outdoor space is an important addition to their home.

The agent felt one of the main reasons for this was that the pool area could be more attractive. If the potential buyers could see the space fully utilized, they would be able to visualize lounging on the patio and having fun. As a result, they would be more inclined to make an offer. The couple heeded her advice and spruced up their deck. Within three months, their home was sold.

Pompano Beach, FL (PRWEB) May 19, 2007

On Saturday, May 19, 2007, 8:00PM at the John Slade Ely House (51 Trumbull St. New Haven, CT) Independent artist, Jellyshirts, will present why they have teamed with IndepenDisc to issue the unreleased 1998 Album “Outside” on USB Flashdrive format. This show will be held to introduce the public to the USB Flashdrive album as an alternative to (and eventual replacement of) the CD. There will be a short demonstration of the Flashdrive, and then IndepenDisc owner Gary Vollono will appear on a panel with the band to field questions. The band will then perform for the audience. Admission is free.

“The Album format is dying along with the CD. Digital downloads are robbing the artist of the quality and full fidelity of the medium in which they work. Downloads have also diminished the importance of the Album as a legitimate artistic presentation of the musical statement. The Flashdrive format restores all that and more.” says IndepenDisc owner Gary Vollono. Embracing the further advancement of technology, Gary contacted Jellyshirts frontman, Bret Logan, about a “great lost Jellyshirts album” that had been shelved 10 years earlier after only a short printing and no distribution.

Bret Logan responds: “It didn’t take much convincing from Gary to want Outside to be a part of his dream. While all the wranglings that had caused the album to be shelved were now gone, there was still little incentive to release it on CD. It had become clear that MP3s sales were now driving the music business and that the CD was going extinct. But that said, we also had no interest in releasing Outside as a smattering of MP3s. Not only are MP3s inferior quality, we also felt strongly that Outside was intended to be heard as an album.

What Gary proposed was something I’d been hoping for for a long time: the possibility of distributing an album in better-than-CD-quality [.wav] format, and requiring no moving parts — nothing to spin, skip, scratch, or wear-out in any way. As a bonus, the USB drive also offers a lot more room than a CD, which let us add five more songs not on the original album, and an 8 min. video of original recording footage, plus dozens of pictures, and ‘liner notes’ sorts of extras.”

The USB Flashdrive formatted Album “Outside” by Jellyshirts is being made by USBsmg.com, a Manufacturer of USB Flash Drives based in Pompano Beach, FL. USA. USBsmg.com is very excited about “changing the way people listen to music.” – Jon Salk, USBsmg.com.

“Outside” by Jellyshirts, in the USB Flashdrive format, will be available for purchase as of May 9, 2007 through IndepenDisc, and as of May 19, 2007, at most fine music retailers.

Aerial rendering of The Richard and Helen DeVos Japanese Garden

Grand Rapids, MI (PRWEB) February 17, 2012

Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, one of the nation’s most significant botanic and sculpture experiences, announces plans for The Richard and Helen DeVos Japanese Garden. One of the most revered and deeply appreciated international garden styles, the 8½-acre addition will further the organization’s dual mission of horticulture and sculpture.

“Fred and Lena Meijer shared their love of Japanese garden design with us many years ago,” said President and CEO David Hooker. “This artistic, centuries–old yet timeless horticultural presentation style is an important contribution to this organization.”

The garden, to be located in the northeast corner of the 132-acre property, will exude the very essence of the Japanese tradition—tranquility, simplicity and beauty. The design will re-imagine existing features of the land—water, elevation changes and quiet surroundings—with a combination of manicured and naturalistic areas.

The artful design by Hoichi Kurisu, president and founder of Kurisu International, Inc., will reflect this essence through a variety of horticultural elements such as zen, moss and bonsai gardens, scenic bridges, waterfalls and a tea house, among many other features. Plans also include works of contemporary sculpture by major international artists whose aesthetic and form will work in harmony with the space.

“Highly unique to our Japanese Garden will be the inclusion of Contemporary sculpture,” said Vice President and Chief Curator of Horticulture and Sculpture Joseph Becherer. “Several landmark works by international masters will represent the aesthetic and form of the Japanese tradition while combining our dual mission of horticulture and sculpture.”

The first confirmed sculpture is a major work by Anish Kapoor, one of the most acclaimed artists working today. It is one of the few works in granite the artist has created. Circular units on the front surface of the sculpture reflect and enhance the surrounding environment while the quiet mood of the work encourages meditation.

Meijer Gardens recently began a $ 22 million capital campaign to support the project. Frederik and Lena Meijer and Richard and Helen DeVos made significant gifts.

“When Fred and Lena invited us to participate in the Japanese Garden planning, Helen and I were excited to have the opportunity to join them in further enhancing the remarkable organization they have built,” said Richard DeVos. “Japanese gardens are one of the most ancient and profound horticultural traditions in the world and we’re pleased to bring it to this Midwest cultural gem.”    

“We are forever grateful to the Meijer and DeVos families for their generosity,” said Hooker. “This garden is a major gift that will keep giving to our community well beyond our lifetimes.”

Groundbreaking will take place no later than the spring of 2013 and excavation work may happen this year. Progressive AE and Owen Ames Kimball will provide architectural, engineering and construction management support.

Garden City, NY (PRWEB) February 8, 2011

The John Sullivan Brigade have announced the release of Live My Dream Rock True, a 24-song indie rock opera about a fictional band’s journey from anonymity to stardom, on South Tenth Records. The New York-based indie rockers will be supporting their release with a 2011 multi-city summer tour.

The band’s third CD since their formation in 2005, Live My Dream Rock True is reminiscent of other well-known rock operas such as the Who’s Tommy and Green Day’s American Idiot. The rock quintet’s vintage, hard rock sound, which was captured in a live studio setting, embraced the rock concept album format that their fan base actively supports.

Recorded and mixed with engineer Mike Mulieri (the bassist for rock band The Upwelling) at New York’s Sabella Studios, the John Sullivan Brigade is led by producer John Sullivan on vocals, guitar and piano. Drummer Steve Glover, guitarist Russ Rogers, bassist Brian Caltabiano and saxophonist Charlie Lopresto round out the rest of the Brigade’s lineup.

Plans to turn the rock opera into an Off-Broadway musical are also under development, as a script for the live stage is currently being drafted. Visit the band’s official website at http://www.johnsullivanbrigade.com for an interactive view of the band’s 2011 indie rock opera.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) November 14, 2011

Pop/R&B artist Qwote recently released his mixtape “Love Her Lips.” Coast 2 Coast Mixtapes presents the project in association with Final Cut Music Group, which is hosted by DJ GQ. It is now available for free download. “Love Her Lips” features Qwote on tracks with Pitbull, Rick Ross, Black Dada, Plies, Mike Bless, Trina, Ace Hood, and Swazy Baby. Production is added by Kore, No Dress Code, Lucenzo, Johnny Quest, Jim Jonsin, DJ Deuce, JR Rotem, Oz N Da Decon, Cash Hits, Zef, and Twice As Nice.

There is something about male Pop singers that transcends something far more superior than your average mainstream artist, in the music industry. Even in the small cluster of today’s male singers, there have been few exceptions to those who appear to be on another level. This distinction is found in new pop musician Qwote. Born in Haiti and raised in Long Island, NY and Miami, FL this pop sensation was destined for musical success. The imaginative singer has come a long way from being raised single handedly by his grandmother. Qwote has been in love with music his whole life, and at the age of twelve he started to pen his own lyrics and decided to do more than just listen to music, but to become an artist himself. With that decision, Qwote took his musical matters into his own hands and forged ahead in a full-time career as a singer and songwriter, working with artist such as platinum-selling rap star Trina on tracks such as “Don’t Want to Fight,” Danity Kane, Wayne Wonder, Shaggy, and more. He was recently featured on Pitbull’s smash hit “Throw Your Hands Up.”

Drawing inspiration from artist such as Sam Cooke, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, and Lenny Kravitz, the aspiring singer has already established his future goals and ambitions: “My goal is to create a new lane that can bring fresh innovative music that touches the soul and evokes thought, passion, and creativity on another level.” Qwote’s first big break came when he was brought to work on Trina’s album by producer Steve Obas (owner of Final Cut Music Group), who advised and mentored Qwote from the beginning of his musical career. While working on Trina’s album at Slip-N-Slide Records music studio in Miami Qwote co-wrote and Steve produced tracks for Trina, some of which broke on the radio in a few major markets. Soon after his production with Trina, Qwote was approached by Slip-N-Slide label executives to lock in a major music deal.

“Love Her Lips” is available for free streaming and download at http://coast2coastmixtapes.com/mixtapes/mixtapedetail.aspx/qwote-love-her-lips
