(PRWEB) September 18, 2008

Everyone knows that the Internet provides a plethora of websites offering great vacation packages (http://www. packageholiday. com/vacation-packages/) and travel bargains, but along the way, many fail to provide true holiday inspiration for travellers and real-world advice for travel to their chosen destinations. The new Package Holiday (http://www. packageholiday. com/) website at packageholiday. com is a non-commercial, unaffiliated and independent site aiming to fill a gap in the market, offering not only inspiration but important information on how and where to book your holiday for the best possible experience.

The website contains a growing selection of reviews from real experiences in hotels and holiday hotspots, aiming not only at inspiring the reader, but at informing the potential visitor of what to expect beyond the promotional brochure blurb. Visitors to the website who have visited the holiday destinations reviewed are also able to contribute their own comments to assist others in the decision making process.

In addition to the reviews, Package Holiday also scours the web for video clips of destinations, tours and trips by reviewers and brings them together into a Destination Videos (http://www. packageholiday. com/destination-videos/) section. Many of these holiday destination videos are short clips provided by travel journalists and show both commercial and more unusual locations, alternative types of holiday and often the culture of a specific location or holiday resort.

To accompany the reviews of holidays (http://www. packageholiday. com/holidays/) and video clips, packageholiday. com also aims to provide information relating to booking vacation packages and trips abroad on the Internet. While everyone knows there are hundreds of tour operators providing online holidays, many sites are confusing to use or offering deals that fall well short of being good deals. Packageholiday. com provides ongoing reviews of a selection of online travel booking sites and compares the features, deals and usability to assist travellers in finding the right site for their needs.

If you are looking for inspiration or information on booking your vacations, or if you're after real-world reviews of package holidays (http://www. packageholiday. com/packageholidays/) abroad, then stop by packageholiday. com and check out the wealth of information on offer.

Bell Aquaculture Announces Breaded Yellow Perch Product Line & Launches Bell Perch Online Ordering System

Bell Aquaculture Announces Breaded Yellow Perch Product Line & Launches Bell Perch Online Ordering System

Yellow perch - the sweet, mild tasting fish everyone loves, especially at Friday Night Fish Fries - is now officially back in time to kickoff the Lenten season. The rollout of Bell Aquaculture's breaded yellow perch products and launch of the Bell Perch™ Online Ordering System means ample supplies of yellow perch fillets will now be available year around. Bell Aquaculture owns and operates of the nation's largest yellow perch farm in Albany, IN, with corporate headquarters and production facilities nearby in Redkey, northeast of Indianapolis.

Redkey, IN (PRWEB) February 8, 2010

Bell Aquaculture, owner and operator of the nation's largest yellow perch (Perca flavescens) farm, is rolling out its breaded yellow perch line and concurrently launching the Bell Perch™ Online Ordering System. The announcement is made by Norman McCowan, President & CEO, who says for the past year, as the farm has been building out, Bell Perch has only been available through restaurant partners and various public sales and special events, such as the annual Purdue University Ag Alumni Fish Fry.

Bell will continue to form restaurant partnerships as it grows and participate in special events, but now consumers will be able to purchase both the breaded yellow perch fillets and Cajun nuggets online at http://www. bellperch. com (click the 'Order Online' tab). Here's more information about the Bell Perch breaded products, now available in orders of either five or 20 pounds (unbreaded fillets will be available in the near future):

Frozen Breaded Fillets

Bell's breaded yellow perch fillets, with a slightly lemon pepper taste, are just like what we used to have in the days of yesteryear - and maybe better, before overfishing of lakes and environmental perils. Further, Bell's panko breading is just the right balance of tangy and mild, and the fillets cook best in canola oil in just under 3 minutes. (see recipes at the Web site for specific cooking instructions - http://www. bellperch. com/gallery/?cid=6 ).

Cajun Nuggets

Yellow perch has always been a Cajun seafood favorite, and now a new southern dream come true: the spicy kick of Cajun seasoning paired with the sweet taste of Bell Perch. Perfect for appetizers or even as a whole meal, these Bell Perch Cajun Nuggets will be your favorite Bayou seafood.

The newly harvested fish only travel 5 miles to be processed and are quickly frozen to maintain flavor and freshness. It's unique that Bell processes its own harvested fish, thereby maintaining vertical integration and control over every step of the process from 'farm to fork.'

"The greatest difficulty in recent years has been the availability of yellow perch out of Lake Michigan and Lake Erie - the two predominant lakes for the supply of wild-caught yellow perch," explains McCowan. "Which means restaurants that were typically serving customers who enjoy the taste of yellow perch and individual consumers, just couldn't get the supply. Or, in some cases, they are getting lesser quality fish and selling it as yellow perch."

Further, according to McCowan: "The yellow perch we're raising, the Bell Perch, is a higher quality product from the standpoint there is no real possibility of contaminants entering into the food chain during their growth. We have absolute control over our water supply, since they are raised in-house there is no opportunity for bird predation, pesticides or herbicides to get into the flesh of the fish that you and I might sit down to eat."

Yellow perch is one of the most popular of all North American pan fish. It has a mild, sweet flavor with firm white flesh and low fat levels, making it a favorite in residential and commercial kitchens alike. There's no taste difference from wild-caught like some other farmed species. In years past, yellow perch was the fish typically served at Friday Night Fish Fries in the Great Lakes region, particularly during Lent (the period prior to Easter).

The vision for a yellow perch farm was born when Chairman & Founder Michael Miller became personally interested in aquaculture in 1994. After studying this science and becoming involved in the Indiana Aquaculture Association, Inc. (IAAI), he developed a dream to bring the local and personal favorite, yellow perch, back to the area. Miller has been involved with the IAAI for 12 years, including holding the position of secretary/treasurer until recently.

As Miller says, "What started out as an idea on a Post-it note, ended up being 17 file cabinets of information." So after more than 12 years of research, consulting fish experts and a lot of hard work, Bell Aquaculture was formed in 2005.

Bell Aquaculture is committed to these four guiding principles in producing its fish:

1) Controlled indoor environment
2) Toxin & mercury free - no hormones used
3) Healthy growth
4) Gentle to the environment

BISNAR | CHASE Named as Co-Counsel in Product Liability Lawsuit Against Isuzu

2011-12-18T02:09:00.000-08:00

BISNAR | CHASE Named as Co-Counsel in Product Liability Lawsuit Against Isuzu

The California auto defects lawyers of BISNAR | CHASE (http://www. BestAttorney. com) have been named as co-counsel in an auto defect product liability case against Isuzu.

Newport Beach, California (Vocus/PRWEB) November 16, 2010

The California auto defects lawyers of BISNAR | CHASE (http://www. BestAttorney. com) have been named as co-counsel in an auto defect product liability case against Isuzu.

The lawsuit was filed by Gilbert, Ollanik & Komyatte, P. C., a leading Colorado automotive product liability law firm, specializing in auto defects and product safety. The suit alleges the 2001 Isuzu Rodeo manufactured and sold by the defendant and its subsidiaries and affiliates was defective and failed to properly protect Idaho residents Stacey Schrock and Christina Monroe from severe personal injuries during an October 2008 rollover accident. The case is pending in the Orange County Superior Court of California, case # 30-2010-00419235.

The defendants listed in this case are the following:

Isuzu Motors Limited
Isuzu North American Corporation Isuzu Motors America, LLC (through its predecessor Isuzu Motors America, Inc.)
Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. (through its predecessor Subaru-Isuzu Automotive, Inc.)
Isuzu Manufacturing Services of America, Inc.
Isuzu Motors America, Inc.
Isuzu Technical Center of America, Inc.
American Isuzu Motors Inc.
Fuji Heavy Industries, Ltd.
Takata Corporation
TK Holdings, Inc.
Takata Seat Belts, Inc.
TI Holdings, Inc.

Isuzu Rodeo Rollover Accident Severely Injures Two Women

According to court documents, Stacey Schrock and Christina Monroe, both residents of Idaho, were the properly-restrained occupants of a 2001 Isuzu Rodeo as it traveled westbound on Interstate 84 near Highway 27, close to the town of Burley, Idaho on October 24, 2008.

Even at legal highway speeds, the driver was unable to maintain control of the Isuzu Rodeo as it careened toward the center median. In an effort to regain control, the driver over-corrected the vehicle's steering upon which the SUV went into a non-recoverable broadside skid. It rotated clockwise and rolled over, causing the ejection of the plaintiffs who sustained severe and traumatic personal injuries, including massive brain injuries and paraplegia, in the crash.

Numerous Isuzu Rodeo Defects Alleged

The lawsuit alleges the 2001 Isuzu Rodeo was wrought with a variety of defects, including the following:

Insufficient lateral and roll stability to keep the vehicle upright during cornering and handling maneuvers by ordinary drivers within reasonably foreseeable roadway and traffic conditions.

Defective and unsafe seats and seat backs that failed during the crash sequence, not only allowing the plaintiffs to careen backwards, but also facilitating their ejection through the rear passenger window.

Defective and unsafe seat belts, which failed during the crash sequence, further facilitating the ejection of the plaintiffs through the rear passenger window.

The use of defective and unsafe glass and glass glazing in the side and rear windows which completely failed during the crash sequence, allowing the plaintiffs to be ejected from the vehicle through openings in the windows.

"Not only were the defendants aware the Isuzu Rodeo was defective and dangerous, they failed to fix the problems or warn the public about those problems," said Brian Chase, partner at BISNAR | CHASE and co-counsel in the case. "Despite the availability of simple solutions that would fix these problems, the defendants chose to cut costs at the expense of human safety."

According to Chase, these solutions include the following:

An electronic stability control system that uses electronic sensors to monitor steering commands, brake pressure and engine torque, to prevent rollover and side slip crashes.

The use of wider and stronger metal in the seats, seat backs and seat connectors, to prevent seat and seat back failure during crash sequences.

The use of laminated glass and protective glazing, to prevent the vehicle's windows from breaking and causing openings through which occupants could be ejected.

"For just a few hundred dollars, Isuzu could have corrected these problems yet it chose to advance its own pecuniary interests," said Brian Chase. "As a result, two innocent women will suffer for the rest of their lives."

The lawsuit seeks damages for severe personal injuries and pain and suffering; emotional and mental distress; disfigurement, loss of bodily function and impairment; past and future medical expenses; loss of past and future wages and earning ability; and court costs.

Business Leaders Need Not be Under The Weather of Avian Flu

Business Leaders Need Not be Under The Weather of Avian Flu

How will the out break of Avian Influenza effect our organization? CO2 Partners, LLC, an organizational leadership consulting business, in partnership with The Business Development Group, has released a free briefing for businesses and organization to become better informed about the Avian Flu and how they can prepare themselves.

Wayzata, MN (PRWEB) June 7, 2006

CO2 Partners, LLC, an organizational leadership consulting business, in partnership with The Business Development Group, has released a free briefing for businesses and organization to become better informed about the Avian Flu and how they can prepare themselves.

"Flu pandemics are like earthquakes, hurricanes, and tsunamis, they occur. There's going to be another one. There have been ten in the last 300 years. It's important to understand that when you’re preparing for pandemic influenza, you're preparing for something that will happen….(H5N1) is the most powerful influenza virus we've seen in modern human history." --Dr. Michael Osterholm

Dr. Osterholm is director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP), associate director of the Department of Homeland Security's National Center for Food Protection and Defense (NCFPD), and professor in the School of Public Health, University of Minnesota. He is also a member of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academy of Sciences. In June 2005 Dr. Osterholm was appointed by Michael Leavitt, Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), to the newly established National Science Advisory Board on Biosecurity.

It is estimated that only 18% of all U. S. companies have any plans in place to meet the issues of an outbreak of the Avian Flu as it relates to a human pandemic influenza or fear of a pandemic. If the Avian Flu gets to the U. S. it may well have only a minor impact to the stakeholders. If however, it mutates into a human pandemic influenza, the economy could easily become paralyzed. People would isolate themselves in their homes, thus stop going to work, school and public venues. Unemployment insurance and government support services would be difficult if not impossible to access. As time continued banking, food supplies, the Internet and phone services would become disrupted. It is estimated a pandemic could cause up to 30% of all small businesses to go into bankruptcy. Referring back to the nightmare results of Katrina, as an example, it is easy to predict that the number could easily go higher.

An AI outbreak in the U. S. will have little impact on most individuals. In contrast, however, a human epidemic in the U. S. or even overseas would impact a greater number and create fear and disruptions on a global basis. A pandemic could be biblical in global devastation. It would impact the U. S. military, police and other security aspects of daily life. Few if anyone would not be touched by death and sickness.

· 57% of Americans reported concern about the spread of Avian Flu.

· 15% said they were very concerned

· 20% believe they or a relative will get the Avian Flu.

· 75% said they would avoid travel.

· 71% said they would avoid public events

Current government recommendations for families and business suggest the stockpile of critical supplies before a human pandemic occurs. It is estimated that these supplies should last from 3 weeks to 3 months and depend on the impact to the logistics of a community. Companies should create work at home plans and provide key employees with “Flu Kits” as preparation for the contingency that the virus migrates into a human transmittable strain. A pandemic event could last 12 to 18 months.

At the time of this writing, no human AI-related pandemic virus has been identified. The U. S. food supply remains safe and world health agencies are working to control this aggressive bird-related disease that has been in existence for centuries if not longer. But that could all change if this virus mutates. And many elite scientists believe it's not just a matter of if, but when.

Peter Lytle's “Avian Influenza and Human Pandemic Influenza Briefing” is a terrific first step toward preparing yourself and your organization for an outbreak of Avian Flu. In this educational presentation, you will be given:

· A clear, simple primer about the Avian Flu (AI), its impact on animal populations, and the potential impact on humans

· A government/industry report card on preparedness—both for controlling AI in poultry and a potential human pandemic

Motorhome Association Welcomes All RVs to Georgia Family Reunion and Motorhome Showcase

Motorhome Association Welcomes All RVs to Georgia Family Reunion and Motorhome Showcase

Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA), an international organization for motorhome owners, is inviting towable RVs to its gathering in Perry, Georgia, in March 2011.

Cincinnati, Ohio (Vocus/PRWEB) December 01, 2010

Family Motor Coach Association, based in Cincinnati, Ohio, has announced that it will welcome not only motorhome owners but also owners of other types of self-contained RVs when the group meets in Perry, Georgia, in March 2011.

While membership in the association is open only to motorhome owners, FMCA leaders recognize that this represents only one segment of the RV family, and during a recent meeting they made the decision to open the Georgia event to towable RVs as well.

FMCA’s 85th Family Reunion and Motorhome Showcase will take place March 14 through 17, 2011, at the Georgia National Fairgrounds & Agricenter. This represents the association’s seventh visit to Perry but the first time towable RVs have been included in the mix.

“The Georgia National Fairgrounds has become a popular place for RV rallies, and with its spacious parking facilities and convenient location just off Interstate 75, the FMCA Executive Board decided that this would be a great location to open our motorhome event to all RVs,” commented Judy Czarsty, FMCA national senior vice president/acting national president. “As our friends in Georgia would say, ‘Ya’ll come.’ Join us for some good-old-fashioned fun and RV fellowship and learn firsthand about the motorhome lifestyle.”

Owners of self-contained towable RVs will pay the non-member rate for attending the event. This fee will include a one-year subscription to Family Motor Coaching magazine, the association’s official monthly publication.

The early-bird non-member rate is $205; after February 7, 2011, the non-member rate becomes $235. For a space with electricity, the non-member early-bird rate is $380; $410 after February 7. These vehicles will be parked together in a zipper parking format for the owners’ convenience. Any motorhome owners who have friends with towable RVs may opt to park with them in these special lots.

Activities abound at FMCA’s international events. In fact, attendees often have a difficult time deciding how to divide their time. The choices are many. One of the important elements of these gatherings is an exhibition of motorhomes. Major manufacturers and dealers display hundreds of motorhomes, and RV components and accessories also are available for inspection.

Another important element will be a full complement of informative seminars. RV owners will be able to expand their knowledge with regard to a variety of topics, from motorhome maintenance to microwave-convection cooking.

Tours to explore local attractions will be offered. In addition, opportunities for taking part in various social events — including morning coffee hour and an ice cream social — present themselves to attendees.

Evenings are no less action-packed. Sunday evening, March 13, will be devoted to movie night, with refreshments and plenty of fun and fellowship. Monday evening will bring the “Motorhome Preview” event, with a sneak peek at the motorhome exhibits, capped off by a fireworks display. On Tuesday evening, pianist Mac Frampton and the Hollywood Hills Orchestra will treat audience members to his “rock-alternative” sound.

Country music star Lorrie Morgan will light up the stage on Wednesday evening as she performs many of her biggest hits, as well as her newer tunes. Professional speaker and humorist Jeanne Robertson will leave the audience in stitches on Thursday evening as she shares some of her amusing life experiences.

With exhibits, seminars, entertainment and plenty of fellowship, FMCA's Perry 2011 gathering promises something for everyone. And this time, all RVers are encouraged to join in on the fun.

For additional information about FMCA’s 85th Family Reunion and Motorhome Showcase or to register, visit FMCA. com or call (800) 543-3622 or (513) 474-3622.

THE HEALTH ACTION NETWORK ANNOUNCES ÂRETHINKING MENTAL ILLNESSÂ PROCOVERY TRAINING CONFERENCE, OCTOBER 3-4, 2003 AT USC DAVIDSON CONFERENCE CENTER

2011-09-27T18:21:00.000-07:00

THE HEALTH ACTION NETWORK ANNOUNCES ÂRETHINKING MENTAL ILLNESSÂ PROCOVERY TRAINING CONFERENCE, OCTOBER 3-4, 2003 AT USC DAVIDSON CONFERENCE CENTER

On October 3 and 4, 2003 at the USC Davidson Conference Center, the Health Action Network, is holding a 2-day Procovery Training Conference, ÂRethinking Mental Illness: The Power of Procovery,Â co-sponsored by the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health and hosted by the USC School of Policy, Planning and Development. Procovery is an innovative healthcare-community empowerment model can transform the lives of those with serious mental illness.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 21, 2003 -

Day Procovery Training Conference, ÂRethinking Mental Illness: The Power of Procovery,Â co-sponsored by the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health and hosted by the USC School of Policy, Planning and Development.

The training will be conducted by Kathleen Crowley, Director of Procovery Training and Development for the Health Action Network and author of The Power of Procovery in Healing Mental Illness: Just Start Anywhere.

ÂIt is easy to feel paralyzed by what seems an overwhelming task of overcoming serious mental illness,Â said Crowley. ÂBy studying individuals who have succeeded in overcoming mental illness, we have identified basic inspirational principles and concrete, practical, proven strategies that donÂt cost more, donÂt take more time, but use the power that all individuals haveÂconsumers, family members and staffÂregardless of the limitations of symptoms and systems. Regardless of whether an individual can ÂrecoverÂ in the traditional sense of Âreturning to a prior state of healthÂ, all individuals can move forward to procover, to find and build new dreams and new purpose in life.Â

The Health Action Network is a 501(c)(3) non-profit (www. procovery. com) new to Los Angeles with the mission of empowering individuals in healthcare. Randy Stratt, Executive Director, said, ÂWe have identified a model of 8 principles and 12 strategies for overcoming mental illness that can change lives for consumers and families, and a Procovery Circle community empowerment model that we look forward to bringing to Los Angeles. Much of what makes a difference in overcoming mental illness revolves around finding inspiration and hope, and developing practical skills for life with illnessÂthese are paths that faith and community organizations travel better than anyone. The fact is that health care organizations can only do so much, and with health care costs continuing to spiral, community-healthcare collaborations will be central to preventing a crisis of mental health care. Procovery can serve as a bridge in building these collaborations.Â

Stratt continued, ÂThere is an entire industry aimed at teaching skills to maximize use of our educational systemÂfrom study skills to testing preparation to school selection to learning centers. ShouldnÂt there be a comparable industry to teach skills to navigate and maximize use of our much more complex mental healthcare system?Â

The Power of Procovery in Healing Mental Illness: Just Start Anywhere was written as a fundraiser with all profits going to support the Health Action Network. The book has a foreword by William Anthony, Ph. D., Executive Director and Professor, Boston University Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation. The Power of Procovery is available online (http://www. procovery. com (http://www. procovery. com) and http://www. amazon. com (http://www. amazon. com)) and directly through the Health Action Network. Crowley served on Tommy ThompsonÂs Wisconsin Blue Ribbon Commission on Mental Health and speaks, trains and consults nationally on Procovery.

Stratt noted, ÂProcovery can positively impact the stigma of mental illness by helping individuals with mental illness to attain productive and fulfilling lives. At times of budget crises it is more important than ever to do something different. Procovery teaches us to do more with less by doing differently. Ironically, the stigma of mental illness touches funding as wellÂas we expand our work, the Health Action Network is actively seeking benefactors, philanthropists and foundations to help expand and disseminate this innovative and transformative work through a series of Pilot Procovery Partnering Projects.Â

Community Event Notice: Rethinking Mental Illness: The Power of Procovery. A 2-day Procovery Training Conference. October 3-4, 2003, USC Davidson Conference Center. Hosted by USC School of Policy, Planning and Development and co-sponsored by County of Los Angeles Department of Mental Health. Attendance is limited and pre-registration required. Information and registration at http://www. procovery. com (http://www. procovery. com) or by calling the Health Action Network at 323-571-0659.

Cyndy Nordyke of Smart Price Travel will partner with Chef David McMillan for a Holland America European Cruise in September of 2007

(PRWEB) May 11, 2007

We are excited to announce that Cyndy Nordyke, of Smart Price Travel, located in Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, is partnering with Celebrity Chef David McMillan for Holland AmericaÂs Mediterranean Enchantment Cruise in conjunction with Food & Wine magazine. The cruise will depart out of Rome, Italy on September 8th, 2007. Cyndy is an experienced travel agent and meeting planner who specializes in giving guests personal service. She has been planning meetings internationally for over 15 years and has been in the travel industry for over five years. One of her specialties is group cruises for conferences and meetings. She plans to be on the cruise to make sure her clients are well taken care of and will be accompanied by her husband, Spencer, who is a European Travel Specialist, also.

Chef David, a California native, studied fine arts and sculpture at Boston University before a stay in Europe set him on a culinary course which has taken him to Atlanta, Beverly Hills and LA as well as the wine country in France and California. David has been chef, owner and caterer for top-rated restaurants, hotels, Hollywood celebrities and world dignitaries. At the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, David served as executive chef for the World Broadcasters division of the Atlanta Committee of the Olympic Games, where he was responsible for creating and preparing cuisine at seven dining facilities.

David is now chef and owner of 62 Main in Colleyville (www.62mainrestaurant. com). He has created a neighborhood restaurant that he would like to hang out in. The food is shaped from McMillan's Northern California roots and times that he spent working in Bordeaux, Burgundy and Napa. Fresh products play off of each other and are entwined together enticingly in a way that shows off wines, as well as creating great food.

Plush Creations is one of the sponsors of the cruise, which carries a line of Lifestyle & Travel Luxuries. Denise McMillan, the chefÂs wife and designer of all things Plush, has designed some very special gifts for the guests in Chef DavidÂs exclusive group going on this European Cruise. You can read more about David & Denise in the May issue of Southern Living Magazine in the Texas Living Section.

Chef David will be doing demonstrations for all the guests in the new state-of-the art Âshow kitchen at seaÂ, which is a part of a $13 million renovation to create the new Culinary Arts Center facilities. His specialty is food and wine parings, and you will be amazed at his personal touch and connection to the audience, plus suggesting what to eat while in the ports of call. The 10-day cruise is departing out of Rome and going to Monte Carlo, Pisa, Naples, Barcelona and other great ports of call.

Cyndy Nordyke specializes in group cruises for small - to medium-size corporations that desire to have their Âconferences at seaÂ, bringing a fresh new approach to help network and make connections to all those attending the cruise. She takes care of all of the details of working with the cruise lines, registering the clients, taking care of payments and even oversees the silk-screen printing of gifts for the cruise. It is like adding a new employee to handle a specialty conference. She limits the number of individual clients that she takes because she desires to give them personal service and expertise in planning their unique experience at sea. Cyndy uses the internet to her advantage and has online registration available to groups, therefore, clients can register directly for the event. You can find all the details of this Culinary Cruise, with prices starting at $1859.00 for the 10 days, along with more information and online registration at www. culinarywinecruises. com

RV Travelers Promote Eco-Friendly Outdoor Recreational Equipment and Accessories via New Blog

Founders of RVFunExtras. com, Lee and Angie Olmstead developed an online business to distribute affordable recreational equipment and accessories, which are all ideally compatible with RVs. From inflatable boats, foldable electric bikes and cargo carriers to metal detectors and solar panels, their selection ensures excitement and adventure. Visit the site and its new blog to learn more about the merchandise.

Sandpoint, ID (PRWEB) February 26, 2010

Lee and Angie Olmstead are hooked on RV living and travel; as recreational vehicle owners for several years now, they have voyaged throughout the continental U. S. exploring new cities and enjoying new experiences. Currently, they are stationed in Arizona - residing in their RV, of course - for the winter months.

Fittingly, the couple launched a Web site, www. RVFunExtras. com, a year ago to spread the joy of RV travel to a nationwide audience through the distribution of affordable, outdoor recreational equipment and accessories. Of course, their product line is also an attractive option for non-RV owners. The brilliance behind their environmentally friendly merchandise is that it's foldable, inflatable and easy to store - ideal for travel, indeed.

To highlight a few of the remarkable products available, a diverse collection of inflatable boats make a trip to a lake or stream practically effortless; shoppers may choose from motor-mount boats, catamarans, kayaks, yacht tenders and essential accessories like life vests, electric air pumps and foldable electric outboard motors. Additionally, the Web site's collection of electric-powered bikes, mopeds and scooters is a standout feature; also available in foldable and lithium-powered options.

Shoppers are invited to visit the Web site's newly formulated blog, which will be used to describe outstanding features and functionality of their merchandise. This interactive tool, www. RecreationalEquipmentAdvice. com, will also host various video clips to demonstrate the benefits and durability of the products.

As a parting note, the Olmsteads would like to leave you with this message:

"Our mission is to offer unique products of the best value and quality that will be fun to use, providing our customers with many years of enjoyment and assurance of our continued, superior customer service. We are dedicated to the green movement, for our powered products use clean, quiet, electrical power."

American Airlines Improves Customer and Employee Feedback with Key Survey Enterprise Data Management Solution

American Airlines, the world’s largest airline, renews Key Survey Enterprise Data Management License to improve service quality and company efficiency by gathering better customer and employee feedback.

Braintree, MA (PRWEB) February 26, 2007

The world’s largest airline – flying 98 million passengers in 2006 – American Airlines has incorporated Key Survey Enterprise Data Management Solution to compete in its heavily service-oriented industry. American Airlines leverages Key Survey’s main strengths such as ease of use and enterprise-wide scalability, to provide data collection throughout the entire company. Beyond deploying the Enterprise Data Management solution to collect customer feedback, American Airlines – with about 82,000 employees – has significant HR needs. With Key Survey, they can efficiently conduct employee performance management processes.

Key Survey’s ease of use and advanced set of features allows AA to rapidly create diverse and detailed surveys. In addition to American Airlines’ biweekly customer satisfaction surveys, the company conducts about eighty custom surveys a year for various departments that want specific customer information – anything from security to ticketing to in-flight service and meals. These surveys are quick to create and deploy, and provide the company with valuable feedback on specific areas.

“The great bulk of our general high-volume satisfaction tracking is done with Key Survey, along with about 75% of our specific research projects” said William Mitchell, American Airlines’ Managing Director of Customer Research. “We do custom surveys for almost every group in the company. Virtually every group in the company, from pricing to the people who schedule the airline to the flight attendant group, the airport group and the reservation groups – we basically do all their marketing research for them and for the most part we use Key Survey.”

“As a result of Key Survey information,” said HR Specialist Janice Chan, “we’ve changed the distribution ranges on the calibration process that we use for our performance management. “We’ve also changed some of the information that we have on our internal website so that the information is more easily accessible and transparent for our users. We’ve added computer-based learning resources and offered some additional training on how to have effective discussions regarding performance.”

Key Survey has enabled American Airlines to, enterprise-wide, gather actionable customer information. It’s also been a flexible data collection utility for other people and departments within the company – improving the flow of data and making AA more internally efficient and more responsive to customer needs.

TravelCLICK Ranks 35 on Crain's Fast Fifty

TravelCLICK Ranks 35 on Crain's Fast Fifty

14,000 customers worldwide leverage award-winning solutions; hotels get major ROI lift when combining strategies.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 8, 2009

TravelCLICK Inc. (http://www. travelclick. net/?utm_id=504), the leading provider of ecommerce solutions for the global hotel industry, has placed 35th in Crain's 2009 Fast Fifty list, published in Crain's Chicago Business. This is the third consecutive year Crain's has ranked TravelCLICK on its list, which highlights the Chicago region's best and most innovative public and private companies.

Crain's notes that "amid losses in the hospitality industry, TravelCLICK's revenue grew 15.7% in 2008 by helping clients outperform rivals by as much as 5%." Specifically, in the first quarter of 2009, TravelCLICK iHotelier® (http://www. travelclick. net/reservation-solutions/index. cfm? utm_id=504) Reservation Solutions customers collectively outperformed the market in revenue growth 78% of the time. While working with the industry's large chains, TravelCLICK also caters to independent hotels, helping them build award-winning websites (http://www. travelclick. net/internet-marketing-solutions/website-design/index. cfm? utm_id=504), optimize search marketing results, and advertise to travel agents. With annual revenue in excess of $175 million, TravelCLICK has been profitable from operations since 2003, with a steady growth in operating profit (EBITDA).

"We are pleased to again be recognized on the Fast Fifty," said Robert Post, president and chief executive officer of TravelCLICK. "With the global hospitality industry challenged this past year by a general downturn in travel, our top priority has been maintaining high visibility for our hotel customers." Post explains, "When times get tough, the temptation for many hotels frozen by fear is to withdraw. Nothing could be more damaging. Slashing rates, dumping inventory to third parties to buy occupancy, or cutting back on your marketing spend--these actions can destroy your pricing power, devalue your property in the eyes of consumers, and create downward pressure on your profits."

TravelCLICK advises its clients to combine strategies instead of cutting back. The more proven marketing tactics that are used together, the greater the ROI. TravelCLICK's study of over 300 PPC clients in 2008 shows as much as a 180% lift from a layered approach of pay-per-click advertising (http://www. travelclick. net/internet-marketing-solutions/pay-per-click/index. cfm? utm_id=504) (PPC), search engine optimization (http://www. travelclick. net/internet-marketing-solutions/search-engine-optimization/index. cfm? utm_id=504), and an interactive booking engine (http://www. travelclick. net/reservation-solutions/istay/index. cfm? utm_id=504) when compared to using PPC alone.

"Hotels should invest in strategies that have long-term value, are measurable, and help drive direct demand. Now is the time to focus on tactics that deliver higher ROI and are flexible in a fluctuating marketplace," adds Post.

Today, TravelCLICK serves over 14,000 hotel customers worldwide. Its comprehensive hotel ecommerce and revenue management solution, featuring distribution, intelligence, and a digital marketing agency--backed by industry insight and personalized service--enables hotels to drive consumer demand through the most effective channels, with focus on direct demand through their own websites. With TravelCLICK's award-winning iHotelier online reservations solution, guests book directly to the hotel through an easy-to-use, award-winning interactive booking screen, iStay®, that improves the online booking experience, brings higher online conversion rates, and creates incremental revenue opportunities for hoteliers. TravelCLICK is a global company, with international headquarters in Barcelona and over 45% of revenue generated outside the Americas.

About TravelCLICK Inc (www. travelclick. net):
TravelCLICK, the leader in hotel ecommerce solutions, provides a continuous flow of high-value online bookings to hotels worldwide. A uniquely comprehensive one-stop solution, TravelCLICK offers market intelligence, distribution, electronic marketing, and media solutions delivered with personal attention and local market expertise.

XY7.com and Rapid Response Marketing, LLC. Launch a New Brand for 2007, Top Brand Rewards

2011-09-14T21:55:00.000-07:00

XY7.com and Rapid Response Marketing, LLC. Launch a New Brand for 2007, Top Brand Rewards

Many exciting things are happening in the world of online advertising and XY7.com continues to grow by leaps and bounds. In order to stay up to date with all the new trends and legal issues, XY7 has two announcements, one concerning new business development, and the other focusing on compliance.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) February 7, 2007

XY7.com and Rapid Response Marketing, LLC. would like to introduce a new brand for 2007, Top Brand Rewards. By collaborating with an exclusive advertiser, XY7 will be delivering countless new exclusive one field submit offers in the near future. We have already launched 8 new deals including email address and zip code submit versions of "Top Brand Rewards -- Romantic Valentine's Day Package Email only", "Top Brand Rewards -- Apple MacBook or Gateway Laptop", and "Top Brand Rewards $750 gift card" in the past couple weeks. Get to the source of the deal, sign up as an affiliate with XY7.com and grab these offers today. We will pay 1.50 for every email lead and 1.25 for every zip code lead. As a consumer, visiting any one of the Top Brand Sites can qualify you for a number of free gifts ranging from gift cards to laptops and other merchandise. Qualification for gifts is based on satisfactory completion of a requisite number of various sponsor offers.

As XY7 grows, and takes on more projects, one major concern is to make sure we stay up to date with and adhere to all FTC Legal Guidelines. We want to take charge of all our business relationships and not only make sure that we are compliant in our practices but that our advertisers and affiliates are also 100% compliant. To further our knowledge on the subject XY7.com traveled to our nation's capital, Washington, DC. where on Thursday, January 25, 2007 we attended a public seminar held by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). This workshop was designed to help advertisers and marketers understand the legal issues surrounding both negative option plans and advertising on the internet in general. Some esteemed industry representatives spoke at this event including, but not limited to, Robert Sherman and Jerry Cerasale of the Direct Marketing Association (DMA), Susannah Fox of the Pew Internet and American Life Project, Linda Goldstein of the Electronic Retailing Association (ERA), Beau Brendler of Consumer Reports Web Watch, and David Mallen of the Council of Better Business Bureaus. Two main resources that were often the topic of discussion were the Dot Com Disclosures and the Advertising and Marketing on the Internet: Rules of the Road, both published by the FTC. Ultimately, what every marketer should keep in mind is that we do not want to mislead the consumer. We need to make sure all disclaimers are clear and conspicuous and that nothing is misrepresented. By operating in a moral and honest manner we can help increase the trust not only in our dealings with consumers but also the trust consumers have purchasing on the internet in general. Selling and advertising on the internet allows us so many choices and opportunities let us use this tool responsibly.

Please visit XY7.com often to see and read about all the new and exciting things that are happening! And if you are an advertiser please email ads at xy7.com.
