I spoke with Jenni Tom. She was over the top informative helping us get the best deals on everything we could imagine. She was courteous, efficient and most of all, I felt she did the majority of the booking. I've spent countless calls with her discussing the best lessons for our kids and her recommendations on skiing and snowboarding for our teenage son (as we aren't as familiar with the later). I not only decided to do my bookings with her rather than arranging directly with some of the sources, but she also helped do the bookings for my sister-in-law and her family who are meeting us there.

Thank you Amanda. You were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and courteous. Usually, dealing with reservations over the phone is frustrating because the agent is rude, not knowledgeable or not willing to patiently go over all the options. With you, it was easy and I felt like you gave me all the options and let me decide at my own speed.

Jennifer has been so friendly, obliging and very efficient. She was very helpful with information. Her follow up was great (not pushy at all). We were so lucky to have Jennifer handle our booking. We now can't wait to come over! Your reservation centre made our trip booking very easy – and we got a great price too.

Ask the Expert
The Mountains & Weather
Question: Do ski resorts guarantee good snow conditions?
Answer: We can't guarantee great snow, but our consistent track record let's us get pretty close. Over the past 10 years, Whistler Blackcomb has averaged annual snowfall of 11.7 metres (38.4 feet). All this natural bounty is supported by a 220-strong fleet of state-of-the-art snowguns that boost the quality and coverage of our snow all winter long.
Question: When is the best time for snow at Whistler?
Answer: Historically, November-January and March are the snowiest months of the season, but consistent snowfall throughout the season is one of the hallmarks of the Whistler Blackcomb experience.
Question: What are the advantages of the different periods that make up Whistler's winter season?
Answer: EARLY SEASON - You know what they say about the early bird. With Whistler Blackcomb's reputation for reliable early season conditions, smaller crowds and great value, early winter is a prime time to visit.
HOLIDAYS - Imagine family time in the morning, skiing and riding all afternoon and sticking around for an epic New Year's party. Make Whistler Blackcomb part of your holiday tradition.
DEEP WINTER - January brings deep and plentiful snow, the kinds of conditions that Whistler Blackcomb is famous for.
MID-SEASON - In February and March, Whistler Blackcomb enjoys longer daylight, the largest snow base of the year, and offers great deals for families.
SPRING SKIING - Whistler Blackcomb boasts the longest season in North America, meaning you can be up on the mountain enjoying the sunshine well into May. Don't miss the celebration of the season, with the World Ski & Snowboard Festival in mid-April.
Question: How does Whistler compare to other resorts?
Answer: With over 8,171 acres, Whistler Blackcomb is the biggest mountain resort on the continent. It's diverse terrain offers thrills for all skill levels, from first-timers to Olympic-level elite skiers. Consistent snowfall (with an average of nearly 12m (39ft) a year over the last decade) means you can book with confidence, while a moderate temperature that rarely dips below -10ºC (12ºF) means you'll be comfortable when you arrive. A unique, vibrant, pedestrian-only base Village is the envy of resorts the world over, while a rich array of activities ensure there's plenty for everyone to do.
It all adds up to the #1 Mountain Resort in North America.
Question: What is the base/town elevation?
Answer: Whistler Village is at 2,140 ft / 652 meters and Blackcomb base is at 2,214 ft / 675 meters. This means no elevation sickness unlike other ski resorts at higher altitudes.

My wife and I were going to plan our first family outing with our newborn. The easiest way for us to breastfeed is still with the breastfeeding pillow and a chair. So no hooter hiders quite yet and my wife is modest about whipping 'em out in public. We're trying to figure out online where/what stores might offer breastfeeding facilities. My google-fu is failing me. Is there some place/way to find out (in the US) where we can breastfeed? Is there some common signage or online place where breastfeeding locations can be easily located so you can plan your day around feedings?
I don't know how complete their database is, but this iPhone app provides a database of public locations with comments:
New Medela iPhone App Helps Breastfeeding Moms
This blog seems to provide useful information on lactation rooms across the US
In the UK it is illegal to discriminate against women who wish to breastfeed. So, if your wife was not shy about whipping them out in public she could go into any (open to public) business and feed.
Most places will have some kind of baby-changing room. They sometimes have seats suitable for feeding. As you can imagine, it's not the nicest place to feed a baby.

Date: October 31, 2012
by: June LeBell | Contributing Columnist | firstname.lastname@example.com
+ Selva service sets the bar
Sarasota has many excellent restaurants for the variety of tastes among its citizens, but, in my book, Selva Grill wins the award for its combination of great cuisine and exceptional service. Having been out of town for part of the summer, we'd been away from Selva since last spring, but, when we made our reservation for dinner we not only got the table we requested (a banquette along the mural wall), we also wound up with Ivan, a young waiter we'd met only once before. Ivan is an exceptional young man.
He remembered what we drank more than three months ago — Stoli blueberry vodka on the rocks for me and "an exceptionally-arid" Tanqueray gin martini, with a twist of lemon, straight up, with the ice on the side for my husband — and then proceeded to boggle us with his memory of some of our favorite dishes.
How you're treated in a restaurant is as important as the food and setting. And Selva seems to go out of its way to keep its staff happy and well-trained, so they do their very best for us.
Ivan's been at Selva for several years. He started there "polishing glasses" when he was still too young to serve the wine. Now, some years later, he's a gracious part of Selva's fine wait-staff, cheerful, available to serve but never hovering or in the way. It's the Ivans of the world who keep us coming back to the great restaurants.
+ Fleming's wines and dines
Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, on Siesta Drive, is offering special wine tastings from 4 to 5:15 p.m. Saturdays. Wine Manager James Shea invites guests to explore wines specially selected from Fleming's "100 List," paired with Fleming's light fare. The cost is $25 per person, but, if you stay for dinner, you'll receive a $25 dining credit.
+ Mozaic's full dining experience
Meanwhile, MoZaic — the spectacular downtown restaurant shepherded by chef Dylan Elhajoui — is offering a place for you or your visitors to sleep! You read right. In addition to the incredible Southern French-Moroccan-Mediterranean-inspired cuisine in this romantic two-story restaurant, you may make a reservation for visiting family or friends to rent an adorable one-bedroom, one-bath, 700-plus-square-foot pied-a-terre that sleeps four right in the heart of downtown.
Visitors who don't feel like using the newly-equipped kitchen can call downstairs and order a sumptuous dinner from MoZaic, delivered and served in the privacy of their own apartment. This pad is beautifully decorated and features all the up-to-the minute electronic necessities including FIOS. And, you're right around the corner from the Opera House and just a block from Florida Studio Theatre.
Chef Dylan, by the way, is available to cook, host and serve specially-planned menus in your home or in one of the private rooms in the restaurant. We attended a fundraiser for the Sarasota Opera in a private home last year that was not only cooked by chef Dylan but also served, indoors and out, on original Moroccan tablecloths set up over authentic (and beautiful) Middle Eastern carpets. Chef Dylan brought his own crew, a belly-dancer and more than a dozen caftans, so the diners would feel as if they were nestled in an opulent gazebo in the desert .

Things haven't exactly gone according to plan for Sergio Perez since his move to McLaren, but team principal Martin Whitmarsh is nevertheless impressed.
As is the case at the start of every new F1 season, McLaren are expected to be there or thereabouts when it comes to challenging for victories, but that wasn't the case during the first two races.
The team struggled during qualifying and also on race day and Perez, who swapped Sauber for Woking at the start of this season following Lewis Hamilton's departure to Mercedes, has only two points to his name after a P9 in Malaysia.
Despite the struggles with the MP4-28, Perez has knuckled down and got on with the job, much to the delight of his team boss.
"He has done a solid job," said Whitmarsh. "It is easy to get rattled coming to a team like McLaren when you don't have a quick enough car.
"He is an intelligent guy. He is incredibly young but again in my mind he has not put a foot wrong."
He added: "He is a team player. There are a few glimmers of positive things but we haven't started well.
"I am very, very blessed at the moment with the drivers we have got and their attitude and approach, and they are powering through."

Face it, the checklist of tired P's marketers have used for decades to get their product noticed - Pricing, Promotion, Publicity, to name a few -aren't working anymore. There's an exceptionally important P that has to be added to the list. It's Purple Cow. Cows, after you've seen one, or two, or 10, are boring. A Purple Cow, though...now that would be something.
Purple Cow describes something phenomenal, something counterintuitive and exciting and flat-out unbelievable. Every day, consumers come face to face with a lot of boring stuff - a lot of brown cows - but you can bet they won't forget a Purple Cow. And it's not a marketing function that you can slap on to your product or service. Purple Cow is inherent. It's built right in, or it's not there. Period.
In Purple Cow, Seth Godin urges you to put a Purple Cow into everything you build, and everything you do, to create something truly noticeable. It's a manifesto for marketers.
©2002 Do You Zoom Inc.; (P)2009 Gildan Media Corp
"Take Leo Burnett,David Oglivy, Bill Bernbach and Mark Twain. Combine their brains and shave their heads. What's left? Seth Godin." (Jay Levinson, author of Guerrilla Marketing)
"Godin's style is punchy and irreverent, using short, sharp messages to drive his points home. ....[H]is wide-ranging advice - be outrageous, tell the truth, test the limits and never settle for just 'very good' - is solid and timely." (Publishers Weekly)
I found this book so informative and interesting, that I listened to it twice. It is easy to listen to, and full of insight. I highly recommend this book to anyone in any line of work, especially small business owners.
"A must read for all entrepreneurs"
If there is a required reading list for entrepreneurs, this book should be at the top.
"!!!! Good !!!!! Should be a chapter, not book!!"
I would and have recommended to friends, only because I agree with the concept; the delivery was long winded way of saying 'make your products unique' so that your talked about and remembered.
"Classic Seth Godin"
I've become a big fan of Seth Godin in recent months, and this audiobook didn't disappoint. The Purple Cow is the truly unique and remarkable product, service, benefit or feature that can make your brand stand apart from the countless boring - and floundering - brands out there.
Godin's very good at weaving together his advice, anecdotes and theories, and I came away from Purple Cow feeling newly energized with creative and innovative ideas. The man himself is a living demonstration of the power of creative brand-building, and I hope his ideas keep flowing freely for a long time yet.
"Possibly Seth's best work to date"
I am a big fan of Seth Godin. I am on Tribes on Ning, I have interviewed him in my blog, and I read most things he posts or publishes.
And for me, this is probably his best work to date. The entire concept of the purple cow is simple - be remarkable. But as always he supports this with many layers of examples, tactics and case studies.
I am a consultant and for me this book has helped a heck of a lot.
"Delightful, Engaging and Insightful"
I love this guy's work. It's not just that he's a marketing visionary - he's a brilliant communicator too.
I'm amazed at how well the book works in the audio medium. It's almost as if he wrote it with audio in mind.
Strongly recommended. Very, very useful if you have your own business.
"Makes you rethink your marketing"
Seth provides many great examples and ideas about how one could go about making themselves or their product/service remarkable. I found the statements around making a product remarkable from inception to be really enlightening.
I'm seriously rethinking how I'm running my business and marketing my services. I'm playing it way too safe (which makes me much less successful than I could be) if Seth is right and I suspect he is.
I highly recommend this book.
"Great book about marketing"
Great book about marketing.
Make insanely great products, base your marketing on that
He believes.
Yes I did listen to it in one sitting.
"Excellent Book"
I have wanted to read this for sometime now. Glad I was able to download it and listen to this short book. Godin presents theories and concepts in different ways than most think about. Highly recommended!
"Kinda like the Blue Ocean"
i liked the examples shown in the books which explains how the tips have been applied to reality, also clarifies that safe is risky in a way that sticks. It overfills with information at certain times but overall is good.
"Purple Cow"
The title initially made me dubious but I was sold by what the book was offering. This book is a MUST HAVE for every small business and larger businesses could also learn from this. The best read I have had in years and every sentence has had me thinking, reviewing and processing my own business. I wish I had found this book a few years back. Hoping Seth has more for us to learn from. Thank you.
"Must read"
This is a must read for anyone in business - get this, you need this!

NEW YORK STATE -- It's no secret that the pain at the pump is getting worse. Gas prices have risen for 32 consecutive days, and there doesn't seem to be any relief in sight.
Between rising crude oil prices, refinery closures, and production cuts, the price for a gallon of regular unleaded has skyrocketed 40 cents. According to AAA, that's a 13 percent jump, bringing the national average to $3.73 per gallon.
Here in New York, drivers are seeing prices pushing the $4 mark with the state average at $3.98.
Some states, like Hawaii and California, are already seeing prices well above $4.

Rene Furterer Sheer Shine Styling Wax
Based on 1 Review
LaurenPAWorth The MoneyI really tried to NOT purchase a pomade for over $20, but after trying several others, apparently similar in effect, I found that this was the best for my hair. I have a lot of hair with a natural wave to it & a newly short hair cut. It flips out & I want it to look playful & fun. This is the one that allowed me to do it! Clear, lightweight with soft, pleasant smell (like all their products) with light hold, lots of pliability & ability to sculpt to your desired design. Doesnt make your hair look or feel greasy at all. I wash my hair 2 times per week and use this EVERY DAY and it still works perfectly, without weighing it down or making it look greasy. Pomades are difficult to shop for. Its a softer, clear solid that melts with your body heat to a nice texture that allows you to mold the shape to what you want. Well worth the money.1 out of 1 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Business Lessons From A Gambling Hideout
"They'd call us gypsies, tramps, and thieves;
But every night all the men would come around;
And lay their money down."
– Cher
I learned about outsourcing and other business techniques in the 1970s, during my teenage years.
I worked at a dry cleaning business that had no dry cleaning equipment. It had two clothing racks, a counter and a cash register; nothing else. There was no drive-thru window and no parking lot.
The business was located in the roughest section of Newport, Ky., which was one of the most economically depressed cities in America.
My father said that "gypsies, tramps, and thieves" was an accurate description of the neighborhood.
The shop's location did not cater to an upscale clientele. Living conditions were bad and the crime rate was high.
I witnessed armed robberies, streetwalkers, numerous fist fights and a car jacking.
I watched a woman run over her soon-to-be-ex-husband with a car.
There was a diverse mixture of cultures and personalities in that neighborhood. None of them seem concerned about owning neatly pressed, dry-cleaned clothes. They bore no resemblance to the people who lived in the suburb that I lived in.
There was one factor that made the dry cleaners a smart business decision. In its back room there was a bookmaking operation and an ongoing card game.
The back room had far more traffic than the dry cleaners ever did.
I was the "manager" of the dry-cleaning section. Since I was the only employee, there was not a lot to manage. However, the experience at the dry cleaners was a better lesson in business than studying for an MBA.
I learned business techniques that were far ahead of their time:
Outsourcing. The dry cleaning business was the ultimate outsourcing operation. It seemed that two out of three people a week would wander in actually wanting their clothes dry cleaned. I would take their clothes to a real dry cleaner and have them cleaned. Since we charged a markup for the service, prices were outrageously high and we had few repeat customers.
We did the marketing and someone else did the work. It is a model that many businesses now follow.
Locating in a business-friendly location. In Joe Nocera's book, "A Piece of the Action," he wrote about credit card companies locating in South Dakota because that state looked favorably upon the credit card business at a time when other states were heavily regulating it.
Although gambling and bookmaking was against the law, Newport was a favorable business environment for the gambling operation.
With far more serious crime taking place, enforcing gambling laws was not a high priority for the neighborhood's law enforcement community. The dry cleaners provided a legitimate business cover.
Long hours, low wages. I worked in the dry cleaners 72 hours a week during the summer and over 40 a week during the school year. I had no benefits, pension, or paid vacations, and they "forgot" to pay me overtime.
Many businesses use this "long hours, low wages, no benefits model" today.
Everyone involved in the dry cleaners is now dead. Their lifestyles as "gypsies, tramps, and thieves" cut into any chance they had to live to an old age.
One thing you can say about them is that they were good businessmen. None of them were well-educated, but every night when the men would come around, they had plenty of money to lay down.

Kimi Raikkonen says the drivers of today owe Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger a debt of gratitude as their deaths brought about much-improved safety.
20 years ago, Formula One suffered one of its darkest weekends when, at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, both Ratzenberger and Senna were killed in crashes.
Ratzenberger died in a qualifying accident while Senna suffered a high-speed crash while leading the Imola race.
On Thursday, F1 personalities joined thousands of fans at the Imola circuit to pay their respect to the duo.
Raikkonen was present and joined fans in walking down to the Tamburello corner where a short service was held.
Adding his thoughts, Raikkonen told the Ferrari website: "I was very young. I saw the accident on TV and what I remember most is that, the next day at school we talked about it.
"Senna was very important for Formula 1, as a driver and a person and his death led to a rapid acceleration in the process of increasing the level of safety in our sport. That has avoided other tragedies from occurring.
"Unfortunately however, one cannot change the past, neither for Ayrton nor for Roland Ratzenberger.
"The only thing we can do is remember this Champion, whose exploits defined the history of Formula 1 for a long time."
Raikkonen's team-mate Fernando Alonso also confessed to being a fan, revealing that as a child he had a poster of Senna in his bedroom.
"I can well remember the photos in the papers and seeing on the TV news the stories of the duels between the McLarens of Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna. He had the number 1 on his car and I raced karts thinking about him, of his yellow helmet that was always winning," said the Spaniard.
"I also competed in karting in Italy, working with someone who had been his mechanic when he raced in that category and so you can imagine how important that was for me. I had a poster of him up in my bedroom."
He added: "The only positive thing to come out of the weekend that took Ayrton and Roland Ratzenberger away from us was that, from then on, safety in Formula 1 improved significantly.
"In fact, we can say that inside our cars there is something of the legacy of Senna and Raztzenberger, because after that terrible 1994, nothing was ever the same again."

Hey all, following the Blood Magic Revised thread this is a new talent that works as a different "mode" of magic, and it is somewhat antithetical to blood magic, the magic used in forgotten Arlathan, the magic style used by the ancient Elves! I want this to be the "safe" way of spellcasting, the reserved one that brings harmony.
Enjoy, and as always feedback is welcome.
New Talent – Arlathan Magic
Requirements: Mage, Cunning (Nature)
To use these talents the mage must be surrounded by natural features and be outdoors, he can't use these talents while in cities. There was a reason that the ancient elves built their homes amidst the forest, it was from this connection that Arlathan magic was born.
Novice: By using a Minor action just before casting his spell, the mage draws power from the natural life around him and reduces its Mana cost by -1. The mage must use the Minor action before each of his spells in order to enhance them with Arlathan magic.
Journeyman: When using the Minor action to enhance his spell with nature's power, the Mage now has a second option. If a spell is successfully cast, the Mage heals 1d6 health as the power of nature washes over him in a blue aura that rejuvenates him. This talent cannot be combined with the Novice power.
Master: The Novice and Journeyman talents can now be combined with a single Minor action. Furthermore the mage is now resistant to magical mishaps, or any other setback as a result of failing to cast a spell, as he is in harmony with the Fade and nature magic suffuses each spell he casts, he gains a +2 bonus on the Willpower roll to resist magical mishaps. This talent takes effect only if the mage is outdoors and surrounded by nature while casting his magic, not while inside cities, furthermore even if he doesn't take the minor action to enhance his spell with the above talents he still gains the +2 bonus to resist a magical mishap.
Note: I don't have my books with me and I don't remember if there actually is Cunning(Nature) as a focus, if not I would appreciate your helping me find a suitable focus as a prerequisite.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

by Sam Abuelsamid (RSS feed) on Jul 22nd, 2010 at 5:28PM
Earlier today, Ford hit its 30,000 fan for the 2011 Explorer Facebook page, so the automaker could give away one all-new unibody 'ute to a lucky follower.

This coming Monday, Ford will reveal the Explorer at live events across the U.S., including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and at the "glass house" in Dearborn, MI.

OWENSBORO, Ky. (10/8/13) - Guest speaker at Monday's "We Are Downtown" meeting, Chamber of Commerce President Amy Jackson, explained that the woeful downtown construction is for the betterment of the city and to keep downtown the "heart and pulse" of Owensboro.
Last month, Owensboro's downtown was featured in an issue of the business magazine, "The Lane Report." Jackson said that the magazine is looking to do a follow-up about the how the street closings are affecting residents and the downtown area.
"When it's all said and done, we'll have something we'll really be proud of," Joe Berry, Downtown Project Manager, said.
Berry said crews are finishing up the intersection at St. Ann and 2nd St. within the next week, and the city will continue with the street projects as quickly as possible. Each intersection expects 4-6 weeks of work, but that is weather dependent.
In other construction news, Berry said the Owensboro Convention Center is scheduled to finish construction by Jan. 27, 2014 and should be open to the public Feb. 1, 2014. The Hampton Inn is scheduled to open in late December.
The next 'We Are Downtown Meeting' is scheduled for Nov. 4.
