Advanced Therapy® Massage LotionHypoallergenic. Enjoy optimal manipulation of skin and muscle with more glide and easy workability. If you like the clean absorption of a lotion, but need more glide and workability for deep and relaxing massage, here's the solution. This unique specially developed lotion manages to maintain gentle drag and extended, lasting performance and still penetrates the skin for a pleasant non-greasy finish. Requires less reapplications - if any at all - than typical lotions so you can keep the smooth flow of your session.Key Ingredients
I've always used it. Works great.
I always use this lotion. I love that it is hypoallergenic and I can use it on everyone. Even those people who are gluten intolerant.
I have been using biotone advanced therapy lotion my entire career. I have tried lotus touch and bon vital in the past but I always go back to biotone. Use a little bit of lotion for little glide or use a bigger bit for more glide.
this is great product for anyone from beginners to advanced massage therapists
I prefer Biotone products to everything else I've used. I prefer the creame version of this to the lotion. I tried the lotion for pumpablity but for me it is too liquid. It seems to absorb faster, has too much glide for me personally for deep tissue and gives me dish pans hands. Ive been using this product for about 2 months and I do add my own scented oils to it. Clients seem to like it because they aren't left feeling greasy. Overall an ok product but I will not buy it again.

Cooking with 'clean' energy China rears half the world's pigs and their slurry is routinely dumped in waterways. This project used simple technology to convert waste into energy and reduce water pollution in the Yangtze.
The HSBC Climate Partnership thus sponsored the design and trial of a cost-effective unit to capture pig slurry and turn it into methane gas that provides villages in Hubei Province with free gas for cooking and heating. This simple but effective solution prevents pig slurry from polluting the water course. It also provides 'clean' energy and reduces spending on electricity generated by burning fossil fuel. The project – a joint effort between the Chinese government, HSBC Climate Partnership and WWF – showed how demonstration projects can be turned into scalable solutions and long-term policy. Outcomes A new regulation in Hubei Province in central China will require all new pig farms to introduce this simple technology. As a direct result of this and other work on the Yangtze by WWF and the HSBC Climate Partnership, the Chinese Ministry of Water has asked WWF for advice on incorporating international best practices into China's next 25-year master plan for sustainable water management. This plan will require the managers of China's seven biggest rivers to ensure proper functioning of the waterways and wetlands, benefiting hundreds of millions of people, as well and animal and plant species. Now I don't have to pay for coal or wood. And then when I want to start cooking I just light the flame. There's no soot or ash to deal with either. This gas saves me precious money and time, so I can do other things Chen Xiunu About the HSBC Climate Partnership The HSBC Climate Partnership, a five-year environmental programme between HSBC, The Climate Group, Earthwatch Institute, the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and WWF, ran until December 2011. It helped accelerate the adoption of low-carbon policies and reduce the impact of climate change on people, forests, freshwater and cities.

The only time I can remember anyone actually listening to music on Game Of Thrones was when (spoiler) that little asshole King Joffrey had a minstrel's tongue cut out for singing a song that made fun of him. But the awesome HBO show is still getting its own soundtrack, and that soundtrack has somehow found a way to make room for indie heroes the National. The band's contribution is the broody, orchestral "The Rains Of Castamere," and the lyrics actually have something to do with the plot. Game Of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin wrote the lyrics himself, and Matt Berninger gives them a weary gravity. Listen below.
(via Consequence Of Sound)
The Game Of Thrones: Season Two soundtrack is out 6/19 on Varese Sarabande.

Analog Yesterday ATF Pullover Jacket - Men's
? Share a...
Awesome Hoodie
Just got this in and tried it out today.. it's awesome! Stayed surprisingly dry and was very warm. The thumbholes are great and the kangaroo pocket has a nice cord spot for headphone wires. I'm 6' and about 175 and a Large fits perfect for riding and goes down below my butt. Not to mention, it looks sick.
Great jacket/Hoodie
Im one of those people that would rather wear a hoodie than a jacket and this thing is awesome. The DWR coating is excellent for weather but it is a sweatshirt so you will get wet. The I usually wear an XL when boarding, but went with the large. Length wise its an XL but sleeves would be a large
Analog Jacket
This jacket is awesome. I got the gray and black and it looks really cool. I love wearing it. It fits really well too. It's pretty warm for a hoody and the DWR coating on the shoulders makes it a great all around jacket.
Captain Yesterday
One of my favorites from the line!Super classy and super old school like it is from yesterday. I look for whatever excuse to wear it!

Oklahoma juniors Trey Millard and Kenny Stills acknowledged Monday they've received grades from the NFL Draft Advisory Board, but both said they haven't made decisions yet.
Oklahoma football notebook: Trey Millard, Kenny Stills weighing NFL options
"It just comes back in the top three rounds or not in the top three rounds," Millard said.
"I was not in the top three."
Stills, a wide receiver, said his grade "talked about anywhere in the first four rounds.
"I don't know how to explain it, but I think it's more of a safe way for them to be able to tell us something. The wording of it is a little bit funny."
As a fullback, though, Millard (6-feet-2, 256 pounds) is in a unique position; he's not likely to be selected very high because of the position he plays, so there might not be as much incentive for him to return for his senior season.
"You can't really move up as far as the first round," Millard said. "You have to take that into account."
Millard has been used as a jack-of-all-trades at Oklahoma; he's played a more blocking fullback role, while also showing the ability to run with and catch the football.
"Some people say that I'll play more of a running back," Millard said. "I've heard a bunch of different things, more of a W or a tight end that doesn't necessarily have his hand down on the line."
When asked what incentive he has to stay, Millard said, "The degree. Going through my senior year with a class and a group of guys I came in with. Try to win a national championship, win another Big 12 championship. Be one of the few classes to beat Texas four years in a row. Go up and play Notre Dame. Those are all reasons to stay."
Defensive tackle Stacy McGee didn't travel with the team and won't play in Friday's Cotton Bowl following his Dec. 24 DUI arrest, meaning senior defensive end David King will probably play lots of snaps inside.

I planted this in my garden last year as a recommendation from a local nursery. It grew to 4' high by 4' wide. It had a silvery green leaf and a purple flower. It bloomed in the early fall through early winter. It could not tolerate a 25F freeze. Any ideas? (it is the shrub between the sylvester and the grill)

GOD'S WORD Translation (GW) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Gather yourselves together! Yes, gather together, you shameless nation, | 1 Gather together, gather together, O shameful nation, |
2 before the decree is carried out [and] the day passes like windblown husks, before the LORD's burning anger comes to you, before the day of the LORD's anger comes to you. | 2 before the appointed time arrives and that day sweeps on like chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD comes upon you, before the day of the LORD's wrath comes upon you. |
3 Search for the LORD, all you humble people in the land who carry out his justice. Search for what is right. Search for humility. Maybe you will find shelter on the day of the LORD's anger. | 3 Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the LORD's anger. |
4 Gaza will be deserted, and Ashkelon will be destroyed. Ashdod will be driven out at noon, and Ekron will be torn out by the roots. | 4 Gaza will be abandoned and Ashkelon left in ruins. At midday Ashdod will be emptied and Ekron uprooted. |
5 How horrible it will be for those who live on the seacoast, for the nation from Crete. The word of the LORD is against you, Canaan, the land of the Philistines: "I will destroy you so that no one will be living there." | 5 Woe to you who live by the sea, O Kerethite people; the word of the LORD is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines. "I will destroy you, and none will be left." |
6 The seacoast will become pastureland with meadows for shepherds and fenced-off places for sheep. | 6 The land by the sea, where the Kerethites dwell, will be a place for shepherds and sheep pens. |
7 The coast will belong to the faithful few from the nation of Judah. There they will graze their sheep. In the evening they will lie down in the houses of Ashkelon. The LORD their God will take care of them and will restore their fortunes. | 7 It will belong to the remnant of the house of Judah; there they will find pasture. In the evening they will lie down in the houses of Ashkelon. The LORD their God will care for them; he will restore their fortunes. |
8 "I have heard the insults from Moab and the mockery from Ammon. They insulted my people and bragged about their territory. | 8 "I have heard the insults of Moab and the taunts of the Ammonites, who insulted my people and made threats against their land. |
9 Therefore, I solemnly swear, as I live," declares the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, "Moab will become like Sodom, and Ammon will become like Gomorrah: a place of weeds, salt pits, and ruins forever. The faithful few of my people will loot them, and those who are left in my nation will take possession of them." | 9 Therefore, as surely as I live," declares the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, "surely Moab will become like Sodom, the Ammonites like Gomorrah-- a place of weeds and salt pits, a wasteland forever. The remnant of my people will plunder them; the survivors of my nation will inherit their land." |
10 This is what they will get for their sinful pride, because they insulted the people who belong to the LORD of Armies and made themselves greater than them. | 10 This is what they will get in return for their pride, for insulting and mocking the people of the LORD Almighty. |
11 The LORD will terrify them, because he will make all the gods of the earth waste away. So every person from every coast and nation will bow to him. | 11 The LORD will be awesome to them when he destroys all the gods of the land. The nations on every shore will worship him, every one in its own land. |
12 "Even you, the people from Sudan, you will also die by my sword." | 12 "You too, O Cushites, will be slain by my sword." |
13 The LORD will use his power against the north and destroy Assyria. He will turn Nineveh into a deserted ruin, a dried up wasteland like the desert. | 13 He will stretch out his hand against the north and destroy Assyria, leaving Nineveh utterly desolate and dry as the desert. |
14 Flocks will lie down in it along with animals of every kind. Even pelicans and herons will nest on top of its columns. Listen! A bird will sing in a window. The doorway will be in ruins, because the LORD will expose the cedar beams. | 14 Flocks and herds will lie down there, creatures of every kind. The desert owl and the screech owl will roost on her columns. Their calls will echo through the windows, rubble will be in the doorways, the beams of cedar will be exposed. |
15 Is this the arrogant city? Is this the city that used to live securely, the city that used to think to itself, "I'm the only one, and no one else exists but me"? What a wasteland it is now, a resting place for wild animals! All who pass by it will hiss and make an obscene gesture. | 15 This is the carefree city that lived in safety. She said to herself, "I am, and there is none besides me." What a ruin she has become, a lair for wild beasts! All who pass by her scoff and shake their fists. |

I was particularly impressed with how easy the boots were to break in. They are extremely comfortable and light-weight. They are ideal for walking the Camino de Santiago and other hikes I'm planning this summer.
However, the three things that disappointed me are...
1. Poor arch support

Hi Bryan, John Dicker born 1812, who married Mary Ann Budge appears to be my 2nd Great Grand-Uncle. Having emigrated to Australia he returned to Devon where he died in 1893. He did have a son called John born 1838, but as you say there are several of them and it's a bit confusing. According to my records though, it is the son of John Dicker b. 1835 and married to Elizabeth Taylor, also called John b. 1877, aka Jack who married Mary Honor Watts. Most of this information was supplied to me by Brian Hallam of Queensland who has researched the family extensively. I have yet to verify much of this. I hope this helps. Regards Rowland Dicker, Craddock, Devon, England Notify Administrator about this message?

Floral print sneakers have been among the recent floral footwear finds popping up on fashion blogs and in look books of late.
Floral prints are an interesting pattern trend, especially for men's shoes. Many people find men's floral print sneakers daring and edgy due to their seemingly contradictory nature. If you see a man with flowers on his shoes, you know he's got confidence. Aside from sneakers, there's even subtle flower print dress shoes available for men.
However, men aren't the only ones with flowers on their feet these days. Of course, women want in on the action and they have a plethora of options to choose from. There are flowered pumps that give the high heel a bit of vibrance and strip it of the often seen solid color style.


text: An ad from a group calling themselves Demand Action is running anti-Ayotte ads on Facebook. Its their right to free speech, but I still think the blitz against her specifically is BS at best. I've tried hiding the ad, reporting it as against my views, etc, and it still kept popping up in my Facebook news feed. I've never had an ad do that before... makes you wonder about Facebook's agenda, especially given the number of other pro-gun Facebook pages that have been complaining about issues.

I am slowly taking back over some of the landscaping in my yard. Two of the unsightly parts has been under the two old oak tree's I have in my side yard. The area directly under them has become a weed invested, overgrown area, that is an eye sore, with ivy growing up them (god I hate Ivy). The problem is what can I put under them at this time of year? The previous home owner put a wood container under the base of each tree, but I have never been able to get much to grow in those huge containers, more over they just become maintenance time sinks, and eventually fall to the way side (I work out of town allot, so I can't give it the daily attention it needs). I guess I am asking what can I do with these two old oak. I love the shade, but right now it just looks bad. Any ideas what I can do short of breaking out chainsaws? |

Assuming it isn't a southern "live oak", with which I have no experience garden-wise, there are lots of things (nice things) that will grow in the dappled shade of an oak tree, which is often considered dry shade, as the oak is going to take up the lion's share of any water. It would help a lot to know where you live, what type of soil you have (sandy, clay, or the gardener's dream: a rich loam with lots of organic matter) and whether the trees have been limbed up or not. If they have not been limbed up, the removal of some of the lower branches will allow more light into the area beneath, also, judicious pruning by a qualified arborist might open up the canopy to allow more light through. If the ivy is English or Boston ivy, get rid of it. Don't feel guilty about it, just do it. Both have been declared invasive species in many regions of the U.S. Since you're out of town a lot, you'll want low maintenance. Depending on the size of the area and your taste, you could put in a mix of understory shrubs, perennials, and maybe a few naturalizing spring bulbs for early color. (By the time the oak canopy has filled out, the bulb foliage will have gotten all the sun it needs for next year's bloom.) I lean towards native plants for several reasons, but important here is that they are usually low-maintenance, as they have evolved to be suited to the local environmental conditions. There are also many non-native species that would be good neighbors for your oak trees. Without knowing your region or site conditions, however, I would not venture to make any recommendations. Most of my gardens spend at least some time in the shade of trees in this neighborhood, mostly oaks: white, red, pin, chestnut. It presents a challenge at times, but the movement of the dappled sunlight across the understory plantings adds a delightful dimension to the garden. |
Hosta. Lots of varieties, but be careful. One tends to become addicted. Head over to the Hosta forum and see! |
- Posted by agardenstateof_mind 7a/b NJ (My Page) on Tue, Aug 6, 13 at 19:33
bed full of hostas and nothing else = monoculture monoculture = increased susceptibility to pests and diseases also, imho, boring there are some nice varieties, but make it interesting and show them to their best advantage by mixing them with some other shade-lovers like ferns, fern-leaf bleeding heart, astilbe, primrose, maybe a young flowering shrub or two. think about all four seasons - what will be there? do you want to look at bare earth half the year? if not, be sure to include something that will provide winter interest - either evergreen groundcover or shrubs or deciduous shrubs with an interesting bark that will be revealed in winter. when/if planting anything below the oaks, be careful of their roots - try to plant between them rather than disturb them. smaller, younger plants with smaller root balls will be easier to tuck in here and there. tiarella is one of my "go to" plants for dry shade. so many varieties, spreads politely to form a ground cover, bloom season about 6 weeks, and native to our region. take a loot at Mt. Cuba Center's website below for inspiration using native plants in sunny and shady sites, and if you're of a mind to visit, it is well worth it ... i can't wait to go back. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Mt. Cuba Center
Yes, I agree that a mix of shade plants is lovely and I include all those mentioned plus heuchera, hydrangea (especially like the H. paniculata 'Tardiva'), Sweet Woodruff, brunnera, native ginger, etc. i also have spots that are all hosta. Have to say that a bed of hosta does not have to be boring-the pic is from the AHS. :) |
Here is a timely link about companion plants that you might enjoy. Lots of pics which is always fun! :) |

Let us know where you live. It will be easier for us to offer appropriate suggestions. Planting something now might not be the best thing to do in certain parts of the country. Jim |

This article reconsiders the House of Lords decision in Rees v. Darlington Memorial Hospital NHS Trust (2003) and the decision to award a conventional award of £15,000 in all cases of failed sterilisation resulting in the birth of an unwanted child. In so doing, it briefly recites the history of the Wrongful Conception action and the unique facts of Rees. It then goes on the consider the implications of two fundamental aspects of the judgment. Firstly, it looks at the 'conventional award' itself and considers the reasoning behind the award and the effect that it has on our understanding of (particularly women's) reproductive autonomy. Secondly, it analyses the rather 'unique' judgment of Lord Scott and his decision to evaluate these cases using the possessory analogy of an unwanted foal; particular focus is given to the notion of parental 'choice' in these cases and whether mitigation (i.e. abortion or adoption) can ever be considered "reasonable".

Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman at One Billion Rising
Anne and Her Husband Get Active on Their First Married Valentine's Day
Anne Hathaway showed her support for the One Billion Rising campaign in LA yesterday with husband Adam Shulman by her side. Jane Fonda and Marisa Tomei were among the other famous faces to join the annual event, organized to help end violence against women. It was a special occasion for Anne and Adam — it was their first Valentine's Day as a married couple. They tied the knot last September.
Valentine's Day hasn't been Adam's only recent chance to show his love for Anne. He has been by his wife's side throughout her big award season, which will come to a close next Sunday night. Anne scored a best supporting actress nomination for her role in Les Misérables at Feb. 24's Oscars. It will be a big evening for her, as the film is also up for a total of eight Academy Awards.

I would like to grow Colombian Yellow Pitaya (Selenicereus megalanthus) in our yard (sandy soil) but I am not sure if this plant can survive rainy winters. Would red fruit varieties adapt better to our weather than the yellow ones? In which season these plants bloom and give fruit in California? |

im certianly no expert, ive been trying to grow several, and have already lost several, but maybe you can learn from my loss they dont like thier roots wet for extended periods, at least when they are small i would make sure the soil is fast draining, or, even build it up to a mound... sand is good, but you also need some compost, or some kind of carbon usually that holds water, so its a tradeoff, thats why i say build up the soil to a mound or something. my yard is low, and even with sandy soil, my papaya get root rot unless they (roots) are a couple inches higher than the rest of the yard like i said, im no expert on dragons though |
Thanks Greenman! I will follow your advice. I just hope that the Colombian Pitaya will have enough time to ripen. According to what I read, it requires 5 month of warm weather. With regard to rain, I believe that it will not be a problem. After posting my inquiry, my mother reminded me of a dragonfruit that was growing wild in the garden (4 acres) of an abandoned house next to ours. This plant bloomed but never fruited, as there was no other one to pollinate it. Five years ago, a Spanish developer put down this house and transformed the entire property into a residential complex with seven-storey buildings after removing all trees, some of them more than a 100-year old! I miss the tawny owls, bee-eaters, and other birds that use to perch on these trees. |

Wait...I need two in order for them to fruit? |
You need to hand pollinate in order to get fruits |
Gama Garden, the yellow Colombian Pitaya is self-fertile i.e. you don't need another one for pollination but you'll have to hand pollinate the flowers yourself for best results. There are a number of videos on Youtube. |

What is an additional monthly benefit?
The Bankrate.com financial term of the day is: "additional monthly benefit."
Social Security provides income not only when you're retired but also when you become disabled. However, there's a six-month delay for the program's disability benefits. You can cover that gap by buying private disability insurance including what's called an additional monthly benefit. That's extra money during the first year of an injury to make up for the Social Security lag.
If you want maximum protection for your income in case you find yourself physically unable to work, you'll want to look into disability insurance with an additional monthly benefit.

Kim Kardashian chose the December issue of Playboy to declare herself not "slutty." Chris Rock has visited the same stripper at the Hustler club three times this month. Cindy Adams says that the Monica Lewinsky costume is "big" this year.

Amazing product!!
Whispering Feather Save the Date Magnets All my friends have gotten their Save-The-Dates from magnet street in the past. I found another company that was slightly cheaper and my wedding is on a budget. I spent days editing my previous magnet and when it came it was AWFUL!! It was a horrid print job and the quality of the magnet was so bad! I immediately scraped them and started over with magnet street, who I should have used from the beginning!! I worked for over a week with my designer Lyn, and she was wonderful!! The picture I wanted to use was not in HD so they thought it might print blurry and Lyn worked everyday with me until it was perfect. They even sent me just one magnet so I could see if I liked it before we printed the whole batch. When I finally received my magnets I could not have been happier!! I recently mailed them to our guests and everyone loves them! Thank you so much to Lyn and the magnet street team for turning my nightmare into a dream!
Country Magnet
Signs of Love Save the Date Magnets I wish I would have looked at the size a little closer because I would have ordered it a little larger.
Love them!!!
Signs of Love Save the Date Magnets They came out beautifully! Just the way I designed them! I love how they give a template and then you can make it your own! Excellent quality as well! Order from magnet street!
Amazing Quality
Whispering Feather Save the Date Cards Absolutely loved our save the dates as did our guests. The paper quality was amazing and sleek and simple design has everyone excited for the wedding. I would definitely recommend Magnet Street. Also, as an added bonus the cards were delivered in a great Tiffany blue reusable box.
Speedy professional helpful unique
Tender Mountain Pocket Invitations Loved how quickly I received products after they were requested. Love the color selections and personalization. Quick response when when special requests were made. Love the pockets. A great size to be able to add my own inserts. Highly recommend magnet street.

bad choice
By patay
from mastic ny
Comments about Divided Plates And Food Storage Containers:
This was a bad choice. The cover doesn't stay put when plate is turned and it doesn't clean easily. The portion size is very shallow and you are still hungry after eating on plate. I wouldn't recommend this product but there aren't many choices to choose from. They don't make new stuff like they used to.

About Me Casual Cook
To use fewer disposables, I take one to restaurants as a doggie bag and to family gatherings to use instead of paper plates. Surprises me that no one ever notices/comments. I guess I am really invisible.

Wonderful for leftovers!
By Jody the Queen
from Cumberland, MD
I use them for leftovers, to have meals ready to eat in the freezer, or even in the refrigerator if I am going to eat them in the next day or 2. I love them.

"Don't judge a book by its cover"
By Gwennie
from Philadelphia, PA
I purchased a similar product over ten years ago. The plates were deeper and although the lids were not vented,I never had a problem.More recently, I purchased a newer set one to two years ago.The lids are not vented and they warped the 1st time in the microwave. I was unable to find my receipt and they were to expensive to return.I may attempt trying another set with the hope that there has been vast improvement,as they are handy for preparing handicapped meals .
Wonderful to Prepare Ahead
By patti in Oz
from Wichita, KS
I use this product to prepare meals for my sight-challenged 89 yr old mother. The smaller portion size is good for her & she can reach in the refrigerator & place in microwave. It has saved me much time & cooking. I bought 2 sets..now I can make a meatloaf, portion it out with mashed potatoes, gravy & veggies for over a week at a time.
Used them for Years
By Food Lover
from Colorado Springs, CO
I have used these plates for years. My wife and I cook my lunches for work about once every three weeks. I use a large rubber band to keep the lid on tight when i toss my lunch box under my desk.

Concierge/Club Level Information (Sept 2008)
Welcome to the new Concierge/Club Level Information thread! This is a work-in-progress so please feel free to join in. Ask questions, make comments, share tips and information or tell me when I need to make corrections! I will update posts #1 & 2 on a regular basis.
All of Disney's Deluxe resorts offer concierge level service for an additional fee. In recent years, WDW has preferred the term "Club Level" as there is also a Lobby Concierge, which has caused a bit of confusion from time to time. The non-Disney owned Swan & Dolphin Resorts no longer offer Concierge or Club Level service. The Itinerary Planning Office (IPO) will not have your address and phone number if you book through a travel agent or online. You should call them and let them know you are coming. Most of us like to make contact with IPO as soon as we make our resort reservations. The following are WDW's Deluxe Resorts and their common abbreviations on the DIS: AKL – Animal Kingdom Lodge BC – Beach Club Resort BWI – Boardwalk Inn CR – Contemporary Resort GF – Grand Floridian Resort & Spa Poly – Polynesian Resort WL – Wilderness Lodge YC – Yacht Club Resort All of the resorts, with the exception of AKL, share IPO's. CR & GF share; BC/YC/BWI share; Poly & WL share. Concierge Email Contact Information: AKL: animal.kingdom.lodge.itinerary.plann...neyworl d.com BC: email@example.com m BWI: firstname.lastname@example.com CR: firstname.lastname@example.com GF: firstname.lastname@example.com Poly: email@example.com WL: email@example.com m YC: email@example.com m Please do not contact the IPO until you have a confirmed reservation. When sending an email, you should receive a generic response within several hours. This will let you know your email was received and that someone will be contacting you soon. Within a day or 2, you should receive a personalized email response from a member of the IPO team. Concierge Phone Contact Information: AKL:.....(407) 938-4755 - fax (407) 938-4759 BC:......(407) 934-1448 - fax (407) 934-1487 BWI:....(407) 934-1448 - fax (407) 934-1487 CR:......(407) 824-1775 - fax (407) 824-3461 GF:......(407) 824-1775 - fax (407) 824-3461 Poly:....(407) 824-2466 - fax (407) 824-3162 WL:......(407) 934-5348 - fax (407) 824-3162 YC:......(407) 824-2466 - fax (407) 824-3162 IPO is available to answer the phones 9:00am to 6:00pm Eastern. (thanks PNO4TE ) Tipping Guideline: Thank you to TheRustyScupper, for the following information (9/22/08) "1) Concierge (and Front Desk) CM's can be fired for taking cash tips. 2) They are supposed to refuse up to three times. . . . if you ask a fourth time, they take it . . . but, they must immediately turn it over to a manager 3) The tip goes into a fund, and the manager buys donuts or coffee for all. 4) If they do not turn in the cash, it can be immediate termination. NOTE: They can accept gifts of up to $75 value (like candy, doll, etc)." 11/22/2008: Boardwalk Inn rooms: Thanks to tete01830: "Heard back from IPO about the standard room Club Level views. They are GV, PL, or BW view on the 3rd and 4th floor. A request can be submitted but not guaranteed...." Thanks to paladin: "The BWI deluxe rooms do all have Boardwalk view - some are on the third floor, some are on the fourth (which is where the lounge is). Standard CL rooms are also on both the third and fourth floor. The deluxe rooms all have two queen beds and a sleep sofa (not sure if it is a double or a queen). There are two televisions (unless they changed this with the recent rehab). The "extra" part of the room is set up as a sitting area with a lamp, sleep sofa, coffee table, chair and armoire with second television. It's a fairly large area, so it does make the room quite a bit larger than the standard rooms - it has a nice roomy feeling." Here's a link to the "Club Level Lounge Photos" thread started by CR Resort Fan 4 Life: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1944096 Thanks to KatMark - "Coronado Springs Resort -- New Unofficial FAQ Thread -- July 2009": Cabanas 9B is now "Club Service" for convention guests. When there is no convention being held at the CSR, the rooms in Cabanas 9B are available to regular resort guests (however, they do not have use of the Club Level services). NEED A CAKE? Cakes to Pick Up: Thanks to ohMom for posting this link from the cake chatter thread: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.ph...&postcount=580 See post #2 for Tips!

Helpful Tips
Here I will add helpful tips we learn as this thread grows.
Tip #1: Include your reservation # and dates in the subject line of the email. It makes IPOs job a little easier. Tip #2: When booking more than 6 months in advance, get your requests (ADRs, safaris, tours, Cirque tickets, etc.) to the IPO 2 to 3 weeks in advance of the 180 day mark. Make sure IPO has your credit card # for any reservations they will be making which require either pre-payment (such as CRT) or a credit card guarantee (such as the Sunrise or Sunset Safaris) Tip #3: Thanks to Maxie86 for providing this information from Allears: http://allears.net/tp/ak/wildexcursion.htm Wildlife Discovery Excursions Animal Kingdom Guests staying on the concierge level at a Walt Disney World Deluxe Resort can take advantage of a unique tour called Wildlife Discovery Excursions. An animal expert will accompany you in a specially designed climate controlled vehicle for a one hour journey into the 110 acre savannah at Disney's Animal Kingdom. (Tours began February 2005). This tour is very educational and full of information regarding Disney's animal programs. You stop at pre-selected locations in the savannah for photo opportunities. The tour is held rain or shine (unless the weather is severe). During our tour it rained quite heavily at times, however the animals were out all over the savannah. Small groups (14 maximum) head out for this adventure twice a day at a cost of $45 each. A portion of the proceeds are donated to the Disney Wildlife Conservation Fund. Advance reservations are required. Contact your concierge or resort itinerary planner at your deluxe Disney resort. Tip #4: Thanks to CR Resort Fan 4 Life for the following: A tip for those who might not be familiar with the IPO CM's and the Club Level CM's. "I just wanted to say for those who have never stayed Club Level before that if you have contacted the IPO department for your Resort by phone or e-mail and are getting no responses from them, don't think that is the fault of the Cast Members who are working at the Club Level lounges at the Deluxe Resorts. The main reason is that the IPO Cast Members and the Club Level Cast Members are completely different from one another. So the Cast Members who work at the Resorts will have nothing to do with planning your ADR's and everything else you have requested before you arrive. So if the IPO never contacted you don't take any frustrations out on the Cast Members who work at the Resorts because it was not their fault." http://www.disboards.com/showpost.ph...&postcount=165 Tips #5, 6 & 7: Thanks to jaycns who included these tips in her fantastic trip report "17 Days of Wishes Come to Life - A Sept. 08 WDW and DCL Adventure" http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1976201 (Wilderness Lodge Club Level) "Tips and suggestions...ummm...loads of them. The biggest one is to leave a day (or even just a morning or evening if it is all you can manage)open to explore the lodge, it was so much fun, they have all sorts of nooks and crannies with fireplaces, comfy sofas, writing desks, little alcoves to enjoy, it is so much fun to explore the WL. Another tip, jump right on securing a reservation to eat at Artist Point for your anniversary meal if you don't have any other plans yet. It was a very romantic meal and they went out of there way to make us feel special on our anniversary. Last "quick tip" is to use the IPO to set up any sort of surprise you might be hoping for. They have a way of making things happen. Also, if you can think of any special gift for your dh, they can purchase it for you and have it left in your room. An associated tip is to make sure to double check your plans once you are on site. There seems to have been a bit of a break down communication wise between the IPO and the on-site staff in some instances." Tip #8: Thanks to west&east (Karen): "About a week after we booked our akl cl room, I called the ipo. The email address that they had for me was way old- the address from about 5 years ago which was the last time I visited Disney. Even though I used my new email address when I made my reservation (and the confirmation was successfully sent to my new email address), the info the IPO received had the old email. He updated it when I called him. Moral of the story is not to hesitate to call or email the IPO. They are very helpful and provide great service." Tip #9: Thanks to CR Resort Fan 4 Life for this tip: CL guests do not need to go to the resort lobby to check-in. When you arrive, tell a bell service CM that you are staying Club Level. They will call the lounge to say you've arrived and a bellman will take you and your luggage to the lounge for check-in. Tip #10: Also thanks to CR Resort Fan 4 Life for this tip: If Club Level guests have anything they purchase sent back to where they are staying, they can pick it up from the Cast Members' desk in the lounge or one of the CM's will bring it to your room. So there is no need to pick it up at one of the stores in your resort, which is where they are sent if you don't stay Club Level. Tip #11 (5/4/2009): Thanks to WendyisDarling for sharing her experience having IPO book ADRs for a split stay. This is from post #2034 on page 136: "This is the time when I would tell all those that ask "Is CL worth the $"...Yes. We have a split stay with different confirmation numbers (all are CL). IPO able to make ADR's for the first 10 days at the first 90 day mark despite moving to different resort with different numbers. Now they make what we need each day for the remainder of our trip and send me an updated itinerary each day. I do understand if the entire trip is not CL, this won't work. Making ADRs and such is the primary reason we stay CL. YC/BC has done a great job so far. They did have to move Le Cellier from our first night to another because there was only one night available! Not sure if this was for near the time we requested or during the four nights we are at BC rather than 10 full nights. Regardless, I'm glad I didn't have to figure that out on the phone. I don't know if one could do this if calling themselves, but they made two ADR's that night the one for Le Cellier and the one we originally requested for that night, so we could decide which we preferred. Plus, made an ADR for our TS originally planned on the night they moved LC, so that eve. had something scheduled. I'm just not good at doing this stuff on the spot on the phone. If calling would I have been able to make 2 ADR's for the same time? I have to give it to YC/BC IPO's fast response time. With the day to day ADR's I have emailed asking for a change as late as one day prior to before they could schedule and they were on top of it. No waiting two or three days for them to get back to me." Tip #12 thanks to CR Resort Fan 4 Life: "Tip for Contemporary Club Level guests: Even though these are not offered with their other drinks that they put out in the lounge, you can ask the Cast Members for mini bottles of Nesquik Chocolate Milk that they keep in their storage room. However they only get a limited supply each day so by the time you ask they might have no more left." Tip #13 thanks to CR Resort Fan 4 Life: "Club Level tip for those at the Contemporary with the Bay Lake View: If you're staying in an Atrium Club - Bay Lake View and want to watch Wishes, go to the lounge on the 12th floor to watch them and they also pipe in the music over there. The same thing can be done for guests staying with a Bay Lake View on the Tower Club 14th floor and the music is also piped in up there." Tip #14: Don't assume IPO will contact you! Take the initiative and send them an email with your Confirmation # and Dates. You can request they email you the standard form at that time. The form is helpful if you're not sure what IPO can do for you. Make sure you have made contact with IPO at least a week or 2 before your 90-days out. (On 10/27/2009, that will change to 180-days out!) More tips coming soon! Last edited by RachelTori; 09-10-2009 at 05:27 AM. Reason: added Tip #14 - IPO may or may not contact you 1st! |

Thanks for re-starting this, RachelTori and great pictures, CR Resort Fan 4 Life.
I can't wait to see some pictures from the updates at BWI. I have seen the pictures of the standard rooms, but would love to see the lounge and the deluxe rooms when someone has any to share.

Assorted shots in AKL's concierge lounge. Sorry that my family seems to be "intruding" on most of them. The last picture was taken from a balcony off of the hall near the elevators on the 6th floor (right outside the concierge lounge).
Here are some gifts left for our family by the concierge team:
