![]() ![]() What is, however, a little surprising is that following the introduction of dynamic pricing, the value that people can get out of their Bonvoy points hasn’t been decimated. We knew that these properties would be costing a lot more once dynamic pricing kicked in and that’s exactly how things have turned out – it’s horrendous but there’s not much we can do about it. Here’s the table of results from which the information above has been gathered (click or tap to enlarge): The average percentage increase was approximately 25%Īlso, before dynamic pricing was introduced, using points instead of cash at these properties would have seen Bonvoy members getting between 0.57 and 3.70 cents in value for every Bonvoy point used with 6 out of the 11 properties offering Bonvoy members the opportunity to get more than a penny per point.įollowing the introduction of dynamic pricing, using points instead of cash at these properties will see Bonvoy members getting between 0.44 and 3.10 cents in value (on the randomly selected dates) for every Bonvoy point used with 5 out of the 11 properties offering Bonvoy members the opportunity to get more than a penny per point.The average increase in the cost of the award night was a little under 17,000 points.The increase of 22,000 points represents a 31.4% increase on the rate available before dynamic pricing was introduced.The number of points needed for the award night increased by between 7,500 and 22,000 points. ![]() All 11 saw the cost of my randomly selected award night rise.Of the 11 properties that we were told could see significant changes to the cost of an award night… Within my sample of 32, I included 11 properties from the list of properties that Marriott said would see significant changes in the cost of their award nights and 21 other properties that I thought would be interesting to watch. The day before Bonvoy was set to introduce its dynamic awards, I checked and noted down the cash rate and the cost of an award night at 32 Marriott properties around the world on randomly selected dates, and once the dynamic prices were live (yesterday), I rechecked all of those rates and noted any changes. Over the past few days, the Marriott Bonvoy program has moved over to a dynamic pricing model for award bookings, and while some of the results of that move are far from unexpected, some of the things that I’m seeing are a little surprising.

![]() The small chicken was supposedly cooked under a brick, and while the meat was juicy, didn’t have the desired crispy skin. Petit Poussin Al Mattone ($26) was the biggest letdown. The base of the bowl contained chowder chock-full of supple clams and sweet corn chowder flavored with smoky black pig guanciale (cured pork cheek) and backyard tarragon. At least the fish was flaky and paired well with the golden cornmeal crust. ![]() The whole cloves of roasted garlic obviously had plenty of flavor, but got to be too intense.Ĭornmeal Crusted Farallon Island Sand Dab ($26) posed a logistic challenge, since the single fillet still contained plenty of bones. The ratio was also off on the ravioli, with way too much dough and not enough of that spicy molten blue cheese. The steak was juicy and had a decent sear, but wasn’t worth ordering instead of the sand dabs. That was really a nice touch.Įverybody else wanted to order the sand dabs, but they still wanted to try the flat iron steak, so I was basically bullied into order the Grilled Flat Iron Steak ($27) with Little Point Reyes blue cheese ravioli and ruby chard. Since the menu read, “u pick, if you like,” Allison got the opportunity to clip the lettuces for her salad. Palmer’s fresh ricotta and plated with bursting cherry tomatoes, shavings of sharp Pecorino and a light sprinkling of lemon olive oil.īackyard Red Oak Lettuce ($13) salad featured crisp lolla rossa leaves, juicy sliced peaches, pistachios and thin shavings of Bohemian Creamery Capriago, a creamy goat’s milk cheese along the lines of Asiago. Squash Blossom Friti ($13.50) was the best version all weekend, featuring delicately fried blossoms filled with Sarah J. The tangy grapes are pickled with ingredients like apple cider vinegar, brown sugar and clove and cut the pork’s richness. No matter what ingredients Stewart uses, the pairing is always pickled grapes, cut in half and tossed on top of the meat. He’s also been known to spike his salumi with Ginger and Fennel Pollen. The salumi is always different, depending Stewart’s whim. We bypassed Tartufo Nero (black truffle), but still scored glistening rows of well-marbled salumi flavored with spicy Moroccan-influenced Harissa, Genoa (white wine + black pepper) and Felino (red wine + black pepper). Their provenance was in evidence on our three-salumi “butcher’s plate” ($22). Stewart makes bacon and salumi using heirloom black pigs that are antibiotic and hormone free. “Salumist” John Stewart operates out of Bovolo, a sister restaurant on Healdsburg’s main square, and his efforts reverberate to Zazu. ![]() Palmer oversees the backyard garden, which is guarded by Prune, Duskie’s dog. The flavor of the meal didn’t quite match the ambition of their vision, but Zazu is still a worthy dinner destination after a day of winery or brewery stops.Ĭhef gardener Sarah J. Chefs Zoi Antonitsas & Duskie Estes also use homemade salumi and sustainable animals. The owners’ commitment to seasonal cooking is hardly limited to lettuces, vegetables and herbs. Before long, you’ll encounter Zazu, a market-driven restaurant on the outskirts of town that captures Sonoma County’s essence, with many ingredients plucked right from the backyard garden. Drive west from downtown Santa Rosa and strip malls soon give way to fields. ![]() Jira’s pricing is “always free” for up to 10 users and increases to $7/user/month for Standard, $14/user/month for Premium, and “talk to a sales rep” pricing for Enterprise.Generally, the more you pay the more users and features you are granted. Both Jira and Trello have free versions as well as paid options.For those looking for an on-premise option, Jira offers both a server and data-center solution. That’s pretty much where the similarities end.īoth Jira and Trello offer cloud-based hosting options. Jira and Trello are both owned by Atlassian and they are both project management tools. According to Atlassian, “Trello’s boards, lists, and cards enable teams to organize and prioritize projects in a fun, flexible, and rewarding way.” How are Jira and Trello different? Trello, on the other hand, is a Kanban-style (“kanban boards”), project management tool. According to Atlassian, “Jira Software is built for every member of your software team to plan, track, and release great software.” What is Trello? Jira is mostly used for issue tracking and project management. ![]() Today, when you hear the words “Jira” and “Trello” in the business context, people are most likely referring to two of the project management tools under the Atlassian family of products. Trello is derived from the word trellis, a structure typically used to support trees and plants… and the code name for a project started by software company Fog Creek in the early 2010s. Godzilla is the nickname developers at Atlassian created for Bugzilla, its original internal bug-tracking tool. Jira is short for “Gorjira,” the Japanese word for Godzilla. ![]() ![]() WindowsAzure.RetryMobileServiceScriptOperation These keyboard shortcuts are global, which means that you can use them when any Visual Studio window has focus.

![]() “It wasn’t clear to me what her arc was,” Orenstein says. She’s simply extended her time as a tomboy, another archetype, less a girl than a stereotype of a kind of girl. Other than deciding her mother isn’t so bad, Merida doesn’t really grow. You only have to be brave enough to see it” - her physical metamorphosis represents the main transformation. But despite a lot of superficial talk of fate - “Our fate lies within us. The best parts of Brave are the scenes involving the changed Queen Elinor, now a gigantic bear. Stewing with resentment, she consults a witch to change her mother’s mind but doesn’t stop to read the fine print. But for Merida, it feels like the end of freedom. She is “cautious,” “clean” and “above all, strives for perfection.” Elinor hardly considers marriage the end of the world she actually loves her buffoonish husband Fergus (Billy Connolly). ( MORE: The War on Women Begins with Girls)Īlthough Queen Elinor has a Susan Sontag–style white streak in her hair, she’s Miss Manners in a crown. This is tradition, intended to keep the peace among clans with a history of warfare, and therefore it’s Merida’s duty. It is set in medieval Scotland, where Merida has just come of age and her mother Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson) is preparing to marry her off to any of three candidates from the other clans. The animation is beautiful, but the story is staid. She’s talking about the nature of the character, but it is also true that the movie itself, while nowhere near the low point of last summer’s Cars 2, doesn’t dazzle. I’m grateful, but she’d be the go-to person on the topic of princesses regardless.) ![]() (Full disclosure: Orenstein and I were once in a writing group together, and she also blurbed a book I wrote. “It’s a failure of imagination,” says writer Peggy Orenstein, author of the best-selling Cinderella Ate My Daughter: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the New Girlie-Girl Culture. I’m glad it finally got there, but I would have preferred that the studio’s groundbreaking moment had involved something actually groundbreaking. It has been 17 years since the studio released its first movie, Toy Story, an awfully long time to get around to a female lead. Pixar is full of brilliant, flexible minds, the kind that made credible heroes out of a stuffed Wild West sheriff, an assortment of worker-bee types, including an ant and a robot, and a rat that dreamed of creating haute cuisine. ( MORE: Brave Old Worlds: Does Pixar Have a Problem with Stereotypes?) She’s a rebellious tomboy, but her concerns are still limited to those of a princess, the biggest of which remains, as ever, marriage. But depressingly, she’s a princess, the most traditional role for female characters in children’s fictions. ![]() Merida is strong, capable and courageous. Brenda Chapman (The Prince of Egypt) was the director of Brave, until she was replaced in the last 18 months of production by Mark Andrews, and the halfway-there aspect of that triumph serves as an apt metaphor for Pixar’s halfway embrace of female empowerment within the text of Brave. But Pixar has never made a girl the lead until now, just as it’s never had a woman direct one of its films until now. ![]()
