			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Amuse Consulting Partners with Canada’s original .ca Registrar webnames.ca</h3>
<p>In a competitive business environment we are all only as good as the team we hire &amp; collaborate with. I’ve worked with <a href="http://www.webnames.ca" target="_blank">webnames.ca</a> for over two years and they are the back bone of my digital marketing strategy (otherwise known as my website). If you’d like to work with the best <a href="http://www.webnames.ca/gateway/amuseconsulting/" target="_blank">click here</a> for special rates available to “friends of Amuse”.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_1188" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 252px"><a href="http://www.webnames.ca/gateway/amuseconsulting/"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1188 " title="webnames Amuse partnership" src="http://www.amuseconsulting.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/webnames-Amuse-partnership1-242x300.jpg" alt="Amuse Consulting Partners with webnames.ca" width="242" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Amuse Consulting special rates via webnames.ca</p></div>
<p>Here are the 6 reasons I choose webnames.ca to be my <em>web hosting + </em>supplier</p>
<ol>
<li>Customer service is outstanding. Any question, problem or challenge I’ve had has been answered timely and correctly.</li>
<li>The servers are based in Canada which makes me feel confident that my information is not accessible buy other entities as well as other nations laws.</li>
<li>webnames.ca has supported many initiatives and charities I believe in and support myself. <a href="http://www.canaryfoundation.org/canaryderby/vancouver.asp" target="_blank">Canary Derby</a>, <a href="http://www.fiveholeforfood.com/" target="_blank">Five Hole For Food</a>, just to name a few.</li>
<li>webnames.ca has stepped up and sponsored many events that promote and support small business owners, including but not limited to President <a href="http://ca.linkedin.com/in/cybelenegris" target="_blank">Cybele Negris</a> sitting on the <a href="http://www.smallbusinessbc.ca/" target="_blank">Small Business BC Board</a>of directors.</li>
<li>I know for a fact that webnames.ca supports diversity and inclusiveness in its workforce and promotes based on talent not gender or other factors.</li>
<li><strong>And</strong> last but not least I have not seen any webnames.ca employee make a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO5z4HOcsDs" target="_blank">YouTube video</a> of themselves shooting an elephant in Africa like the CEO of <a href="http://www.godaddy.com/default.aspx" target="_blank">GODADDY</a> has done.</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On My way to a client meeting today I decided to skip the crowds on <em><strong>Granville</strong> </em>and instead walked along <em>Howe </em>St. Now I walk this street all the time so I&#8217;m pretty familiar with all the businesses and what their windows usually display.  When I came by the <a href="http://www.urbanbarn.com/">Urban Barn</a> I noticed the store looked remarkably bare compared to normal and yet a lot of people were inside lounging and talking. I had to check it out.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.metroblenznewssquad.com/2010/02/24/urban-barn-creates-a-home-on-howe-st-for-charity/home-on-how-window-display/"><img src="http://www.metroblenznewssquad.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Home-On-How-Window-Display.jpg" alt="" width="448" height="336" /></a></p>
<p>Home On Howe Window Display</p>
<p>When I walked in I discovered the store had been converted to a &#8220;<strong>Right at Home on Howe</strong>&#8220;  a 3,600 sq ft retail space transformed into a 17 day temporary home for Urban Barn employee <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/HomeOnHowe/291228221075?ref=search&amp;sid=575866672.253749531..1&amp;v=wall">Robbie Romu</a>. Robbie was handpicked by Urban Barn President <strong>Rick Bohonis</strong> to live in the store 24/7 for the during of the <strong>2010 Olympic Games</strong>. Knowing that the store would not be a destination during the Games they decided instead to create a respite from the chaos for both locals and visitors alike to enjoy.</p>
<p>Urban Barn invites the public to stop by anytime during the extended Olympic hours to hang with Robbie. You can watch TV with friends, sit and relax, play Wii, check email, you name it! In keeping with the spirit of the Games Urban Barn has used this opportunity to raise funds in support of the <a href="http://www.canparaplegic.org/en/">Canadian Paralympic Foundation</a> (CPF), a registered Canadian charity dedicated to raising funds to support the development of sport for the benefit of Canadians with physical disabilities. The Goal is to raise <strong>$20,010.00</strong> by March 21st. Please click <a href="http://www.homeonhowe.com/">here </a>to donate or to learn more.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s my exclusive chat with Robbie Romu himself. Hear in his words what the experience has been like.</p>
<p><object width="500" height="405"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fCngo8K7W3A&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fCngo8K7W3A&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="405"></embed></object></p>
