ELITE = Empty Promises?
Like (3)
So, I spent the money to get the Hardened Edition for myself and my two kids. We were told, new maps every month, an Android app, and competitions and all sorts of good stuff.
I understand that release went haywire and it took a week or so to get it straightened out... But now, where's all the stuff I was promised?
Come on... After shelling out $325, I feel I should get something more than videos of people playing MW3 against each other and Tips about weapons and maps. 41 days since release and still waiting... WHEN DO WE GET OUR STUFF????
Maybe you should learn to read. They said a map pack once per month for 9 months, that will probably start in january. I am pretty sure they said the app will be released soon. And competitions do not canceled.
Hardened edition wasn't $325.
Anyways, yeah they didn't keep their promises, but I'm sure they'll fix it and make it up somehow. That is... if they plan on keeping a business going.
@uG I FLAME - Several competitions have been cancelled. If you go back through you will see it. Need proof, just ask. Furthermore, I don't remember them saying only 9 maps... Do you have a source?
@iTzYoSHi - If you read the OP, I bought 3 of them. 3 @ $99 + tax = $325.
Yes every single operation I've enlisted in has either been cancelled or re-done without warning so it said I enlisted, but it's like I never even did it.
I agree with the OP. ELITE premium hasn't even gave word of when these things willl be available. If I would have known that ELITE premium is the exact same as the non-premium I would have saved myself the $60 and not bought it.
Elite is a complete scam. There is absolutely no value in that whatsoever, we won't save any money on map packs either. The only reason why I haven't traded in this game yet is because I was stupid enough to buy elite, so it would be even more stupid to trade it in for $25 after I dropped $120. I know we weren't getting everything up front, but it's been over a month and there is zero value in having elite so far.
Im just waiting for the in game playlist to support the compete section of elite. Hope its a clan vs. clan type playlist
Actually they've said the maps will cost over $100 total so when the do finially release we will save money. But i completely agree i want to see the things iv paid $60 for otherwise ill most likely stop playing.
My bad, I didn't see that part.
i like elite as of now im not in a rush im sure we will get everything soon ya as of now were not getting anything but thats just cause the dlc season dident start as long as we get something good every month idc but if its just a camo for 9 months then il have something to complain about

"Hey mom, can I borrow your ice scraper?," my son asked the other morning as he was preparing to drive to school. "Sure, but where's the one that belongs in the truck?," I replied. "Can't find it," he quipped. While I reminded him to put it back when he was finished so I'd have it for my next trip, I was pleased that he was taking the time to clear the frost from all of the vehicle's windows and mirrors before taking to the road.
We introduced our son to the importance of ensuring the vehicle he's driving is road-ready (i.e., frost as well as snow and ice-free) long before he got his license. No peep-hole driving (that's the guy who clears a small area or peep hole rather than the entire windshield in the hopes the defroster will do the rest), rolling snowstorms (who hasn't gotten stuck behind that inconsiderate motorist?) or ice chunkers (no explanation required) allowed. He has cleared many a ice and/or snow covered family vehicle since the start of his teen years and now that he's driving knows full well what he's supposed to do.
If you haven't briefed your novice driver on the chores associated with winter driving, I encourage you to do so. Getting him into the habit of removing winter's junk from all vehicle surfaces will not only positively impact his safety, but reinforce the importance of safely sharing the road with others. Of course, clearing ice and snow from your vehicle isn't optional. It's the law in New Jersey and one that carries a fine (a hefty one if your negligence causes injury or property damage to others) if you're stopped and cited for failing to comply. And if that still doesn't compell your teen (or you) to pull out the snow broom or scraper, I remind you and him that drivers and passengers in New Jersey have been seriously injured and killed by flying ice and snow – debris that began its journey on another motorist's ride.
In addition to keeping an ice scraper and snow brush or broom in your vehicle (as well as one in your home and office in the event your vehicle's doors and/or trunk are frozen shut), every motorist should equip his car with a winter emergency kit. While your teen may never need any of these items, they could prove to be a lifesaver in the event he's stranded on the road in a winter storm or breakdowns in frigid weather. The automotive and safety experts at AAA suggest the kit include the following:
- Fully charged cell phone (with a charger and spare battery)pre-programmed with rescue apps and important phone numbers including family and emergency services
- Potable water and non-perishable snacks (i.e., granola bars, nuts, dried fruit)
- Bag of abrasive material such as kitty litter or sand to aid with traction
- Collapsible snow shovel
- Warm blankets and extra clothing (i.e., gloves, hat, scarf, jacket, boots)
- Flashlight with extra batteries
- Window washer solvent
- Cloth or roll of paper towels
- Jumper cables
- Warning devices (i.e., reflectorized triangle or flares)
- Basic toolkit equipped with screw drivers (Philips and flathead), pliers, adjustable wrench, and duck tape
Yes, that's a lot to stow in your vehicle. Many years ago a colleague of mine passed along this tip for keeping it organized – pack it in an old suitcase or duffel bag so you can easily move it from your garage or basement to your car at the start of winter and back into storage in the off-season. Of course, some of the items listed above could prove helpful year-round, so consider making a warm and cold weather kit for each of your vehicles and check them regularly to ensure everything is there and operational (i.e., flashlights, batteries).
As for that elusive ice scraper my son couldn't locate last week, there's one in all of our vehicles (he just didn't know where to look). I've also purchased several more and advised all the drivers in our household where to find them just in case mom isn't home the next time there's frost on the windshield.
The Good Guy
8:45 am on Tuesday, November 27, 2012
This is a fine and great article. Most of us have heard it before. A lot of us still ignore it. I wish people would follow it and make the roads safer.
What kids and adults, as well, should be taught is common courtesy. The main reason for cleaning off your windshield and the ice and snow from your car is to prevent YOU from hurting other drivers on the road, which is common courtesy. But, most of us, only think of ourselves… "I'm running late for work and I don't have time to clear off the windshield." "I'm only driving the kids to school, so why do I have to clear off the car." "Who cares, the wind will blow off the snow."
When you are clearing off your car, stop and think that you are doing something good for others by taking the time to do it. While you are thinking that, smile, it will make you feel good and maybe give you a bit a peace in your hectic day. Common courtesy, an amazing concept.
And to those who take the time do this, I thank you.

The Politics of Social Media
By: Jennifer Carmack, WTHR
Updated: November 5, 2012
Glenn Sparks is a Communications Professor at Purdue University.
He says this political season has yielded a cornucopia of friend dumping.
"Pew Research foundation just issued a study that 20 percent of all Facebook users during this election season have taken some kind of action to protect themselves from political expressions that they really don't want to be exposed to," said Professor Sparks.
"Political communication is communication about deep feelings and I think many people are discovering the text modality of Facebook is not a great medium for expression of deep feelings," he adds.
Sparks says etiquette applies online as well.
He says best practice?
If you wouldn't say it face to face, avoid shouting it on Facebook.
He says political banter may annoy some Facebook friends but it also could cost you your job.
Be sure to check with your company's social media policy before posting any type of controversial topic even on your personal Facebook page.

THIS PLACE Washington society adjusts to a new breed: the fast-moving, different-thinking, so very dot-com riche In a blaze of lights at the MCI Center Arena, the nouveau Madison Square Garden of Washington, D.C., basketball superstar Michael Jordan made his announcement. He was acquiring an ownership stake in the Washington Wizards and would serve as the team's president of basketball operations. The news, widely anticipated because of leaks prior to Jordan's January 19 appearance, played well in the capital. Neighbors couldn't stop talking about it. Pundits had a field day. It was the knell that signaled an end to the district's darkest days. There was a new Washington now, with a new, can-do mayor, Anthony Williams. The city's financial crisis was over. Real estate was rebounding. And now Michael Jordan, with that perennial movie-star grin, had arrived. Only one way to go, everyone seemed to be saying — up — a direction particularly well suited to His Airness (and the loss-ridden Wizards, too). It hasn't been that long since D.C. — besides being the seat of the most powerful government in the free world — was a ranking murder capital with a standing mayor who was an international embarrassment. The city government was so mismanaged that stories of payroll checks being issued to dead or nonexistent employees were daily fodder for the Washington Post. "We've taken such a bruising in the past 10 years," says John Tydings, president of the Greater Washington Board of Trade, sort of a chamber of commerce for the Beltway. Now, though, the new mayor, the city's comeback, and Michael Jordan — hell, even the Washington Redskins' finally making the NFL playoffs — were like manna from heaven. But Jordan's entrance was eye-popping in another, more significant way. The deal that brought him to town was done without any help from the usual suspects — the cabinet officials, career politicians, lobbyists, media stars, Georgetown Brahmins, society hostesses, policy heads, real estate barons, and well-connected lawyers who have made the town what it is for decades, if not centuries. No, the people who landed Jordan were outsiders, like Wizards part-owner Ted Leonsis, who helped build a local company called America Online Inc. into, arguably, the first dot-com Goliath. These new big-city players did the Jordan deal in their off-hours with play money, much of it from tech fortunes. They made a huge splash for guys who five years before hadn't even been on the radar screen, let alone on society-party lists. But this is a new day, and not only in Washington. Now politicians are no longer the role models they used to be, especially when compared with the strike-it-rich business stars. On March 9 the Wall Street Journal likened the new era to the turn of the last century, when industrialists with names like Carnegie and Rockefeller led the first entrepreneurial revolution. "It was an era when the economy — with wildcat prosperity, businessmen as media superstars — was shifting like tectonic plates; an era when Wall Street, not the White House, drove events," the Journal reported. The first big wake-up call for Olde Washington had come only a week before the Jordan deal went down. That's when America Online — a once unknown speck of a company dabbling in that Internet thing from offices in the distant suburbs — announced it was buying Time Warner Inc. for upwards of $166 billion. The establishment movers and shakers were caught off guard by the hordes of tech millionaires making waves in "our city." "They don't know who these people are. They don't know anything about them. They don't even know enough to be suspicious," says Sally Quinn, the Georgetown high-society hostess who offers a window on the elite and also helps shape its outlook through her writings in the pages of the Post. "The first moment anyone ever thought about it was the AOL thing, and they said, 'Oh, my God! That's what they do over there." None of those people were bred in Georgetown. Nor did they attend St. Albans, the elite private school in northwest Washington. Most don't even have degrees from Yale or Harvard. Worse, they couldn't care less about the society way of life. They trade neither on their social connections nor on their pedigree but rather on their business exploits, which might include a flaming dot-com failure (it seems to give them credibility, of all things) as easily as a stunning success. Instead of considering social standing in the good old-fashioned meaning of the term, they measure one another by the growth curve of their companies, the size of their paper fortunes, and the global impact of their businesses. Washington, to put it politely, has always been defined by power and access — who's got it, who wants it, who lost it. Money has never been a part of the equation; certainly not in the way it is in, say, New York. But now money is a force to be reckoned with, big-time, and it's here to stay. Politics has always supplied Washington with a new crop of movers and shakers, who tended to assimilate into the standing social fabric, refreshing their own ranks with each election. But this new group of tech-fortune youngsters isn't leaving with the next election. "The way I view it, this is the biggest thing to happen to this city since Washington was made the capital of the nation," says Quinn, who notes that the recent arrivals are infusing much-needed new blood into a town where the old money kind of "dried up." And she enthusiastically welcomes the transfusion. "It's going to have a big impact in every way," she predicts. Washington used to be quaint, run by a stable circle of friends. Not anymore. To understand how all that is playing out, you need to look at the people who made the Jordan deal happen. The aforementioned Ted Leonsis, now president of AOL Interactive Properties Group and worth an estimated $1 billion, came up with the idea. Originally, he'd been a marketing guy with a company of his own, whose operations were folded into AOL when the larger company bought him out, in 1994. The then-unproven online service paid $45 million, mostly in stock, for Leonsis's CD-ROM catalog company. That brought Leonsis on board for practically the whole AOL ride, all the way from obscurity to megagiant. Now he's using the resources he gained to have some real fun. In May 1999, Leonsis and two partners plunked down $200 million for the Washington Capitals hockey team and a stake in the holding company, which counts the Wizards basketball team among its multiple properties. Leonsis figured that snagging Jordan would be the ultimate buzz card, elevating the profile of both teams. He and his group took a meeting with Jordan at his Chicago restaurant. Under the deal they eventually cut, the one that was announced at the MCI Center, Jordan got the front office of the basketball team, a stake in the partnership, and a chance to play with the dot-com boys. ( Boys is not a casual term; modern as dot-coms may be, there are few women among their ranks in Washington.) The way Leonsis tells it, the Capitals' Web site will be the foundation for building an "Internet distribution channel" for the team in the same way that Ted Turner used cable TV to promote the Atlanta Braves. Right now the Capitals are red-hot. If Jordan also manages a comeback for the Wizards in the next few years, it isn't hard to figure the upside: valuable teams, Web channel, and then the eventual acquisition of the entire basketball franchise when its current owner, Abe Pollin, 76, retires. No doubt, this was a value investment for all concerned. Six days before Jordan made his role official, Leonsis brought in a partner, Raul Fernandez, to help design the sports-team-cum-Web vision. Fernandez immediately took a place on the roster of Washington's new power players. Just 33, he is a card-carrying member of the current crop of dot-com millionaires. He is the founder and CEO of Proxicom Inc., a fast-growing Internet-consulting firm based in Reston, Va., that serves clients like General Electric Capital Corp., Mobil Corp., and Mercedes-Benz Credit Corp. And he's a big sports fan. "I told Ted last summer, 'If you ever need another partner, I'm in," he says. Fernandez has gotten a lot of ink lately, being featured in the Wall Street Journal and on the cover of Fortune, where he appeared right next to Jordan ("America's 40 Richest under 40″). His background speaks volumes about how diverse the new A-list in D.C. can be. Fernandez is the son of a Cuban immigrant who came to this country with $100. He grew up outside Washington, D.C., attended the University of Maryland, and then worked on Capitol Hill for Congressman Jack Kemp. In 1991, with $40,000 in savings, he formed his own company. It grew like crazy and went public in April 1999. Since then Proxicom has grown so rapidly that Fernandez's 28% stake is now worth about $600 million. With that kind of money, he can afford to indulge his "love of competition, in any form." Although he jets around the world all the time — Proxicom is steadily expanding — Fernandez calls the sports team his "night job." It has raised his profile, as have his other local activities. Fernandez talks passionately about the importance of community service and appears on philanthropic panels. He is conscious of being a role model for his employees, many of whom are already millionaires in their late twenties and early thirties — the coming shock troops for the new establishment. The rise of a figure like Fernandez is just another signal that times are changing inside the Beltway. Talk to one of the society veterans, like real estate power broker Robert Linowes, about the Washington business world of the 1960s and 1970s. You'll get a picture of a quaint, provincial town, run mostly by developers, bank managers, and retail executives, who would welcome the other power players — the pols and their minions — in full knowledge that eventually most would return to wherever it was they came from. By contrast, the old Washington hands Linowes recalls knew one another: they sat on the same corporate and philanthropic boards. In the evenings they hobnobbed with the ever-changing political-cultural elite. "It was incestuous, but no one even thought about it," Linowes says, recalling the days when the landscape could be altered by a few words over dinner at the Willard Hotel. "Conflict of interest? If you didn't have a conflict, you didn't have any interest." It was a cozy little community in those days. But that community has long faded away. The local retail chains were bought out or folded. The banks were gobbled up, the CEOs with community ties replaced by professional managers. And while Washington's business world was devolving, the federal government was seeding a vast and entirely new industry outside the city's borders. So-called Beltway bandits grew by feeding an insatiable demand for information technology, supplying all the computers, software, telecommunications services, and training that could fit into the budgets of federal agencies. The defense buildup and deregulation of the telecommunications industry during the 1980s fueled the growth of high tech so well, it now has more employees in the D.C. area than the federal government itself. By the mid-1990s, the local versions of Silicon Valley-style growth companies were primed like a tinderbox ready to explode. The technology, the communications, and the workforce were all in place. All that was needed was the economic spark — and then came the Internet. Mike Daniels, chairman of the Internet-domain-registration company Network Solutions Inc., based in Herndon, Va., is a prime example of a player who was brought into the game by the dot-com revolution and the explosion in Web businesses. He's one of the "new" breed that was actually in the area all along, one of the tech executives who had worked for decades in obscurity under the shadow of the military- industrial complex. He started out as a naval research officer at ARPA (the Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency, which invented the Internet — first known as the ARPANET) and then formed his own technology-consulting company. He sold it in 1987 to Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC), an employee-owned company and one of the Beltway bandits. "We were very typical of what went on here in the Washington technology community, especially in the northern Virginia side, until the Internet revolution began," says Daniels. In 1995 he convinced SAIC that it should buy Network Solutions for $4.8 million. Network Solutions was as close to being a world-dominating organization as there ever was, if you consider cyberspace to be the world. The company was the registrar for the Internet, the keeper of domain names on the Web. Daniels became chairman of the subsidiary and led its initial public offering. In March, VeriSign Inc. agreed to buy Network Solutions for $21 billion. Obscure no longer, Daniels is a made man. Now he appears with the Steve Cases and Michael Dells of the world on panels such as Governor Jim Gilmore's 2000 Global Internet Summit, which was held in March in Fairfax, Va. The pace at which this new world has emerged isn't lost on traditional power brokers like Linowes. In the past, he says, if he wanted to raise money quickly on behalf of some philanthropy, all he had to do was get on the phone. With calls to 20 close friends from the city's business community, he could complete a fund drive. That's all changed now. Trudging out to northern Virginia recently to seek funds for the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, Linowes met with a number of the new-wealth class of greater Washington: high-tech executives. "But I had to be introduced. No one knew me," Linowes said afterward, briefly interrupting the interview to take a call from the governor of Maryland. And what of the old crowd in the Washington business world? Where are they now? "Either dead or out of business or both," he said, laughing. Anthony Kennedy Shriver (a member of two of the "best" families in town) started the nonprofit organization Best Buddies in 1987, when he was a student at Georgetown University. His organization offers social and employment opportunities for the mentally retarded. In the early days, he says, he relied on his family's circle of friends — Washington's political and cultural elite — for the donations he needed. That all changed in 1995, when Shriver was introduced to Leonsis. The AOL honcho decided to make Best Buddies his charity of choice. Leonsis came aboard as cochairman of the Best Buddies ball, the nonprofit's fund-raising event, and one that drew many famous names. But not the names Leonsis could draw. He brought in his contacts from the high-tech world. "Honestly, in those days no one had heard of Ted Leonsis, and when I told my mother, she was like, 'Fine, whatever. It's your thing," Shriver recalls. "But Ted was willing to work and get involved, and that's what we were looking for." Now Shriver talks about the "pre-Ted" and "post-Ted" eras at his charity. "I try to avoid remembering the pre-Ted days, because they were very unpleasant," he says. In those early days the charity typically raised anywhere from $200,000 to $300,000 from the establishment. But with Leonsis working the phones — or rather, E-mail — the northern Virginia tech crowd began to show up in force at the Best Buddies ball and to give generously. Last year, with Leonsis's Wizards partner Fernandez serving as cochairman of the event, tickets went as fast as shares in a dot-com IPO. With the ball oversubscribed, Shriver expanded the tent at his aunt Ethel Kennedy's Virginia estate, and then he sold out again. When the black-tie event took place, in October, limos got stuck in the driveway. Muhammad Ali posed for pictures. The Pointer Sisters sang. The Kennedys welcomed guests. "People showed up from my family, but they didn't know anyone, which from my perspective was a great sign," Shriver says. Best Buddies raised a record $1.1 million that night. "When we hold events in Hollywood with a good number of celebrities, or in Houston, Palm Beach, Miami, or New York on the Forbes yacht, we raise maybe $300,000 to $400,000 a night," Shriver says. "Washington just blows them away." He is calling the upcoming 2000 event the "dot-com ball." And this year he plans to raise $2 million. It will be a real A-list event, especially in the tech community — a party "where anybody who is anybody in the Internet world will be," he says. That example hasn't been lost on the region's cultural institutions, ones that have been at the heart of the Washington social circuit for ages but that have been at a loss to capture much of the new wealth. "In the 1990s, at almost every board meeting I attended, the question was always raised, 'How are we going to get those people interested?" Linowes recalls. "Almost every major foundation and charity had a committee aimed at doing just that." "Is it a conscious strategy to get those new people involved? Yes. Is it organized? No," says David Levy. The disconnect makes sense when you think about it. Many of the new paper millionaires are young and simply haven't had the time that the older crowd has had to focus on how to give money away. And many of the philanthropies have never had ties to a class of people who lived on the wrong side of the Potomac River. But that's changing. The Corcoran Gallery of Art, which as the largest privately funded art museum in the capital also runs a college of art, recently lured Bob Pittman, president and chief operating officer of AOL, to its board; he's the first major figure from the tech community to join at that high level. Why, you might say that Pittman — the New Yorker credited with creating the massive MTV phenomenon before making his high-profile move to start shaping the world in AOL's image — had finally arrived. But you'd better have your tongue firmly in your cheek, because in this case it seems that Pittman brings as much cachet to the Corcoran and the society it represents as they give to him. "Is it a conscious strategy to get those people involved? Yes. Is it organized? No," says David Levy, the Corcoran's president and director. The way he sees it, people give money for two reasons: to support the arts and education and to gain access to social and cultural circles in Washington. "We provide that access, and they provide the support," Levy says. What's not clear, however, is whether access to society is something the dot-com crowd wants. Where a charity-board seat might have been de rigueur for the well-bred, it's more of a fun option for the newly minted. As Linowes says, "We had a certain way of giving and a certain level of giving. These people want to do things in new ways." Remember, many high-tech fortunes were spawned by battling the establishment business world. These start-ups exploited small niches and built new entities by going against the grain. The late Bill McGowan, founder of MCI, is a perfect example. In fact, he's something of an Ôber role model for many of the established entrepreneurs in the region, because his Washington-based company battled giant AT&T for years. McGowan used to exhort his troops, Whatever AT&T does, do the opposite. That rattle-the-gates strategy worked for all who followed, and they prospered by it. Why change any of those attitudes now? Already, there are strong indications that Washington's technology elite is treating philanthropy in a very different way from that of the establishment. Many even take umbrage at the word philanthropy, since it suggests a handout rather than an attempt at producing fundamental change in people's lives. Mario Morino, chairman of the nonprofit Morino Institute, in Reston, Va., for example, speaks in no uncertain terms of the need for "social change" to correct the huge disparities in wealth and opportunity for youth in the region. He's not going by Karl Marx; quite the opposite. He's repeating lessons learned by virtue of his entrepreneurial experience, which some would term ultimate capitalism. Morino earned his first entrepreneurial merit badge building Legent Corp., a software company that was sold to Computer Associates International Inc. in 1995 for $1.8 billion. By then Morino had stepped back from day-to-day business affairs and embarked on an eight-year odyssey to figure out how to give some of his $140 million away. Oddly, he found it harder to properly give his wealth away than it was to build it in the first place. [In the interests of full disclosure, the writer of this article worked on speeches for Morino a couple of years ago.] "We took [MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor] to lunch, and over the course of that lunch his net worth went up by $145 million." –Lloyd Grove, society columnist fpr the Washington Post

The Volta Racer combines award winning industrial design with advanced solar technology to achieve new levels of performance!
SAN CARLOS, Calif., March 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ToyLabs, Inc., a Silicon Valley start-up, specializes in toys and devices that teach kids the fundamental principles of science, electronics, and engineering through fun and play. The Volta Racer is packaged with all the prefabricated components necessary to build and power the vehicle. The racer can be assembled in as little as fifteen minutes with no special tools.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130321/SF81011)
By assembling the Volta Racer, kids will learn basic concepts and principles of solar electricity and mechanical engineering. The Volta Racer operates at normal and high speeds and can traverse various surfaces and terrains. The vehicle has a very unique feature: a flexible polycrystalline silicon solar cell. The curvature of this solar cell allows the car to capture more of the sun's energy from numerous angles. The car also employs super-lightweight, eco-friendly, recyclable materials. The Volta Racer solar motorcar received the Good Design award for its unique industrial design as well as for its educational value and eco-friendly components.
"We're extremely excited to launch our very first product, the Volta Racer," said Tim Curley, ToyLabs' Founder. "The launch is a culmination of many discussions and ideations with my seven year old son who pushed me to complete the design and to ready the product so he could start playing and sharing the Volta Racer with his friends. I was inspired by my own kid's enthusiasm and desire to learn about solar energy and how it can be applied to power toys. The Volta Racer is the first of many alternative energy powered devices being developed at ToyLabs. Our goal is to create products that will capture the attention and imagination of kids in a way that helps them learn about the basic principles of science."
The Volta Racer is available for purchase online at www.toylabs.com or at one of our first retail partners, Talbot's in San Mateo, CA and Cheeky Monkey Toys in Menlo Park, CA. Please visit our website regularly for new store listings.

So… you walk into the grocery store with grand intentions, but as you make your way down the aisles, your confidence dwindles, as you become overwhelmed by a ridiculous amount of low fat ice creams, low-calorie snack packs, chips, popcorn, cereals, mac and cheese, frozen entrees and french fries… and before you know it, you have a cart full of junk, and nothing to actually feed yourself, your family, and those charming kids of yours.
Oh dear.
It happened again.
And there is no one to blame but those misleading advertisements that have the infallible talent of making the worst of foods, look so darn, healthy and harmless.
So, before hitting up the grocery, or your local health store, check out these funny videos for some of my favorite healthy alternatives to mainstream family staples.
My fifteen year old sister works a pizza shop.
Enough said.
She never has time for a sit down meal on these nights, as she is generally running from school, to track, to work. Oh… and that sugar ridden, bleached, and refined white flour, with that indigestible greasy cheese, glimmering in the oven… is awfully tempting. One bite, and you might be sucked into eating the whole pie. (Nursing a stomach ache later on…)
Avoid that refined white flour, and opt for a cheese that is more readily digested. Check out this healthier, and quick pizza recipe, for those moments when you, (or your kids) are on the go!
Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
Grate 1/2 cup fresh zucchini on a cheese grater (always try to get a dose of those veggies)
Toss the zucchini on a cookie sheet, or a little piece of tin foil, and heat in the oven with 1/2 tsp of olive oil
While your zucchini is "sauteing," lightly toast 2 pieces of sprouted* bread (I use Eziekel bread)
Spread 1-2 tbsps of your favorite Marinara (I like Seeds of Change) on your toast
Remove your zucchini and toss it on top of the marinara
Place back in the oven for 5 minutes, or less
Remove from oven and sprinkle 1/4 cup of your favorite goat cheese on the slices* and sprinkle with Italian Seasoning (I used a raw goat cheddar by Shiloh Farms, and a little creamy goat cheese from Whole Foods)
Toss on a paper plate and shoot out the door… in 12 minutes
(This is not a perfectly combined meal, but it is a great alternative to your traditional pizza. It is delicious, and it is a nutritious and simple meal for picky kids).
*Sprouted grains are a LIVE, WHOLE grain product. Sprouted grains have not be processed or refined. What does this mean? That they have not been stripped of their nutrients, and the body will be able to digest them easier than a refined, processed, or "unbleached" grain product.
*Goat cheese is more readily digested by the body than cow cheese products, as it is lacking the slow digesting protein casein. Raw goat cheese is best, but high quaility goat cheeses are fine too. Test out different brands of goat cheeses so that you find one that you and your, family, and kids will enjoy. Not all goat cheeses are "goaty."

What is your "go to" food when you are on the go? How do you satisfy your cravings for unhealthy temptations?

Holton Professional Model ST307S Bb Trumpet
About the Model ST307S
Founded in Chicago when Frank Holton opened a small instrument shop in 1898, The Frank Holton & Co. grew to one of the most influential instrument manufacturers in the first half of the twentieth century in the US. Today, the tradition continues with high quality trumpets, flugelhorns, and trombones being hand-crafted in Elkhart, Indiana, and in Eastlake, Ohio.The Holton ST307S Bb trumpet was developed with legendary high-note trumpet specialist Maynard Ferguson. The extra-large .468" bore, reverse leadpipe construction, and single radius main tuning slide combine to produce an extremely open free-blowing feel. The seamless 4-13/16" yellow brass bell provides great projection and control. The professional Monel piston material provides smooth and quick action. The 1st valve thumb saddle makes for easy intonation adjustments. The silver-plate finish provides a controlled brilliance to the overall sound. The Holton ST307S is the right choice for lead and commercial trumpet playing.
Holton "MF Horn" - .468" Large bore, 1st slide thumb saddle, Monel pistons, reversed main tuning slide with single-radius crook, silver-plate finish, Bach 7C mouthpiece, CT101 woodshell case.
After performing professional engagements with Sousa's great band, Frank Holton opened up a small shop in Chicago in 1896, selling second hand instruments and his secret recipe of Electric Oil trombone slide oil. For the first two years, business was tight and Holton would spend evenings and weekends performing just to draw a salary to support his business. By 1898, business had sustained itself to the point that Holton could hire an instrument maker to begin making what he introduced as the "Holton Special" trombone. As business grew, his "Holton Harmony Hints" catalogue increased in size to include trombones, cornets, valve trombones, and mellophones by 1904.
Business continued to grow and Holton's instruments became the choice of top professionals including Vincent Bach, first trumpet for the Boston Symphony in 1914 (before he began building his own instruments). In 1917, Holton signed an agreement with the city of Elkhorn, Wisconsin to build a factory. In the agreement, a provision was made that if Holton paid out $500,000 in wages over seven years to support the community workforce, he would be granted the title to the land and building. In 1920, Holton met this obligation.
In June 1919, to inspire a stronger workforce to move from Chicago to Elkhorn, Holton bought seventeen acres and contracted 27 houses built to offer to his employees. Production of top line professional instruments continued to grow. In 1929, Holton introduced a complete line of school grade instruments under the Holton Collegiate name.
In 1939, Frank Holton sold his company to Fred Kull, a company employee. In 1942, Frank Holton passed away. Throughout the Second World War as most manufacturers did, the Holton Company turned to making components for the military. As the war ended, the Holton Company saw steady growth. In 1964, after pressures to offer a complete range of woodwind instruments, the Holton Company sold to G Leblanc Corporation.
During Leblanc's ownership, Holton would rise as a leader in low brass manufacturing. The support of well known artists such as Philip Farkas and Ethel Merker, Holton's French horns became increasingly popular. Manufacturing of Holton instruments was retained in Elkhorn, Wisconsin until 2008 when it was relocated to Eastlake, Ohio.

With this being the last weekend of summer, we at the Pomeroy Inn & Suites brand office were thinking this would be the perfect time to plan one last weekend getaway to get the most out of the season before the cold of winter arrives. Nothing accompanies a road trip like a good playlist, so without further ado here is the perfect playlist to get you ready for fall.
September – Earth, Wind, & Fire – 1978
This disco hit, that reached number 8 on the charts, is about a whirlwind fall romance. The song opens with a date of September 21st; many wonder the significance of the date. Is it someone's birthday? The first day of fall? In reality this date has no real significance and was chosen simply because "It just felt right."
Maggie May – Rod Stewart – 1971
This song acted as Rod Stewart's coming out party. He burst onto the scene with this risqué song, which remains one of his most well-known and was first number one hit.
Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground – The White Stripes – 2002
With a title like this Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground this White Stripes hit has to be on any fall playlist. While, not about the season itself, The White Stripes give us a sad journey through a troubled relationship with this one.
Autumn Leaves – Nat King Cole – 1956
We have to trip back in time to this fall classic sung by Nat King Cole. Recorded in English in 1956 for the film Autumn Leaves this song was originally written and recorded in French in 1945 with the title Les feuilles mortes (literally "The Dead Leaves").
Harvest Time – Luke Bryan – 2011
From 1956 and Nat King Cole we jump in our time machine and move forward to 2011 where we find Luke Bryan and his song Harvest Time. Nothing says fall like the combines and tractors, and no song projects this view more than this (except for maybe one song, which you will find a few spots down on our list).
October – U2 – 1981
This title track from U2's 1981 album was entirely improvised. The original song was lost when Bono had his briefcase stolen by a group of fans, and was not recovered until 3 years later.
The Boys of Fall – Kenny Chesney – 2010
Nothing screams fall like the return of Football! And nothing screams Friday nights under the lights watching your high school go facemask to facemask with their bitter rivals. This song became Kenny's 18th number one country single.
Moondance – Van Morrison – 1970
Though this song was the title track for his 1970 album, Van Morrison did not release Moondance as a single until 1977. This song also was ranked as the 226th best song of all time by Rolling Stone Magazine in 2004.
International Harvester – Craig Morgan – 2007
This may be the only song that is more about combines and fall time then Luke Bryan's. This song was released in 2007 and reached number 10 on the country charts.
Nightmare on My Street – DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince – 1988
We will finish up our playlist with this Halloween themed beauty of a song.
We hope some, if not all, these songs make it on to your playlist for your last road trip of 2012. Wherever your road trip takes you we hope it takes you to a Pomeroy Inn & Suites.
Did we miss a song? What is your must-listen fall tune? Let us know and we'll add it to our list.
Have a great weekend!
As we gear up for a weekend out at Evergreen Park for the Pomeroy Inn & Suites Guitars & Wagons Weekend, I want to take a minute and reflect back on our fantastic Triathlon that ran (swam, and biked) last weekend in Grande Prairie.
The event went off without a hitch! Here is a teaser photo from the swim….
More photos will be posted soon on Facebook and also shared in high quality with all of the participants! In the meantime, here are links to our photographer, Heather's blog, where she shares some of her favourite photos from the day!
These photos come from the two lovely photographers we had in attendance. They both wrote blogs about the event, and I wanted to share an excerpt from the second photographer, Shari's blog (www.talesfromasmallkitchen.com). A wonderful story fit for Father's day!
This morning, H & I woke up ridiculously early. H was photographing the Pomeroy triathlon and she hired me to be her assistant. I was basically in charge of taking a few shots of the pool from the stands, random shots of people in the transition area and then pictures of each athlete as they crossed the finish line at the end of their run.
We were waiting on one runner. He was very far behind the rest of the group. Eventually, they started the medal ceremony and H had to go shoot it. I was left at the finish line by myself.
It took a while but I realized, eventually, that there was a family behind me. I asked the young girls if they were waiting for their dad. They were. The man's wife explained that the man I was waiting for is a runner but had never participated in a triathlon before. And, he signed up for the Olympic distance, not the sprint. This means, in addition to his swim, he had to bike 40 km and run 10 km.
I was beat just thinking about this.
Then, his wife informed me that he only made the decision to sign up for the triathlon two weeks ago. Not much time to train for such a huge undertaking!
After hearing the story, I told the girls that if they wanted to head down the path, they could wait for their dad and then cross the finish line with him when he passed by them. At first, they thought I was crazy but then their mom told them that, if they wanted to, she'd go down with them and wait.
Here's what happened next...
The mom, her stroller & baby, and two small girls started to head down the path. They got a short way down and the mom, stroller and one girl turned back, heading towards me, while the other ran like heck down the path, away from the finish line.
Her dad was coming towards her.
She ran all the way to him, grabbed his hand and ran the 1/4 km to the finish line with him.
I said to his wife, "That's awesome.'
She said, 'No, that's the best father's day gift ever.'
While no one else was around to cheer this man on, I don't think he cared. They were so proud of him and I'm sure it was his greatest father's day to date.
We will be cheering Mark on at the Grande Prairie Stompede tomorrow night, and will be handing out sheriff badges, so keep your eye out for us!!
Here are some photos from the event! For more, check out our Facebook Album
For our Facebook followers, you may remember the article I posted last week about current project in Olds, to our page. We are currently in the midst of constructing a brand new Pomeroy Inn & Suites that will not only be a hotel, but will also be utilized in conjunction with the newly developed hospitality program at Olds College.
Recently it was announced that our new Pomeroy Inn & Suites in Olds will also be home to the brewery for Western Canada's only post-secondary Brewmaster program. The program will provide students the unique opportunity to achieve a diploma on how to brew and market beer, and will partner with Niagara College's current Brewmaster program.
When the hotel opens in July 2013, it will include a 2,000-square-foot addition for the teaching brewery that includes state of the art equipment and a private entrance, to ensure it will not disrupt any hotel guests.
If you're interested in becoming a certified Brewmaster, or for more information about this great new program, check out this article,
I know I'm not the only one anticipating that 5 o'clock Friday Beer after a long work week….
Cheers, to a great weekend!
We are very excited to announce the launch of our newest initiative in tourism, www.WeGoNorth.com!
For those of you who don't know what We Go North is all about, the site is an initiative funded by the Rural Discovery Destination Marketing Fund dedicated to promoting tourism in the Peace Region and surrounding northern areas. WeGoNorth.com welcomes businesses, attractions, events, and other tourism organizations to work together to promote our area and who knows our areas better than our local businesses and residents.
We are asking Local Businesses to create their FREE business page listing on the site which will be linked directly to their community. Think of this as sort of a Trip Advisor for Northern businesses. The site will also host an extensive list of events in our regions. The extremely user friendly layout allows users to easily search for events / accommodations / restaurants / shopping, etc., and will no doubt quickly evolve into the best tourism resource for all visitors to our area.
If you are a business in the Peace Region, you may have already received the lovely brochure in the mail. (pictured below) We hope you had a chance to check out the site and register for your listing! If not, you can register here: www.WeGoNorth.com/partners
Also – don't forget to check out the We Go North Facebook Page www.Facebook.com/WeGoNorth
Are any of you like me, and tend to procrastinate on any sort of major cleaning initiatives throughout the winter? Well, with spring right around the corner (we hope) and the snow SLOWLY disappearing, I am starting to feel a little overwhelmed with the amount of stuff I should be doing for Spring Cleaning this year. This being the first spring in our new house, I wasn't even sure where to start!
Luckily for me, there are people out there who are much more organized than I! I stumbled across a few great sites with Spring Cleaning Lists….. check them out here:
I have always tried to be conscience of the products I use in around my house and try to stay away from those with harsh chemicals. I am always looking for great natural cleaning tips, and I found a few great suggestions on this blog:
(photo from here)
We also take Green Cleaning very seriously at our Pomeroy Inn & Suites! Rest assured that when you stay with us your room is cleaned with all natural EcoLogo certified cleaners.
What Spring Cleaning Tips can you share? Do you have any Natural Cleaning methods that you use around your house?
Cheers to a (hopefully) sunny spring weekend! Happy Friday!

AARP volunteers offer free tax help to seniors
By Dan Eakin, email@example.com
AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers are at various senior citizen centers and libraries in the area one day each week to offer senior citizens and others free help on preparing their income taxes.
The volunteers offer help with electronic filing. At some locations, appointments must be made while at others only walk-ins are accepted.
Don Vasquez of AARP said, �Some tax situations are out of scope and are excluded from this free service. Taxpayers must bring a photo ID, Social Security (or ITN) card for everyone on the tax return, current tax documents and records and a copy of their 2011 (last year�s) tax return.�
AARP tax-aide volunteers are now offering free tax help with electronic filing from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays through April 13 at the Coppell Senior and Community Center, located at 345 W. Bethel Road. No appointment is needed or taken.
AARP tax help is also offered at two locations in Carrollton and one each in Lewisville and Flower Mound.
In Carrollton, tax help is offered from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursdays at the Carrollton Senior Center, located at 1720 Keller Springs Road. Taxpayers will be served according to the sign-in sheet except for repeat visits or for those with special physical and health situations. Walk-ins are welcome. Those who wish may call 972-466-4850 to find out the approximate wait time.
Also in Carrollton, tax help is offered from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays at the Carrollton Library, located at 4220 N. Josey Lane. Walk-ins are welcome.
In Lewisville, tax help is offered from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Mondays at the Lewisville Senior Activities Center, located at 1950A S. Valley Parkway. Appointments should be made by calling 972-219-5050. Walk-ins will be worked into the schedule as time allows. No appointments are taken after 2 p.m.
In Flower Mound, tax help is offered from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Shirley Vorin Social Senior Center, located at 2121 Cross Timbers Road. Appointments are required and may be made by calling 972-874-6110 before 2 p.m.

Customer Ratings & Reviews
Tracking Key 18 18
it is a good device the only thing is that sometimes it doesnt read all of the stops from my employee. also sometimes it gives me another address that its not were my employee stops and finally it doesnt read every second like it says on the add. other than that it actually works good. the battery also last about a week long. a on and off switch would be nice to turn off and on to save battery power April 13, 2013
Excellent Value Having searched the market for such an item, this product is by far the cheapest and is excellent value for money. It worked straight away. I found a little difficulty setting it up at first but it now works perfectly. Really pleased with purchase. March 31, 2013
I purchased this to help our teenaged sons control their speed, and to let me know where they go. I agree that there needs to be an on/off switch to prevent burning through batteries. Also, the USB did not fit into my computer, so I had to buy an adapter (the black box impaired it fitting into my USB port). This caused some difficulty in activating the device. When I called the company, the tech fellow was quite brusque and he did not email me the information he said he would. February 9, 2013
Cost Saving This device works just like it says. The company I work for has immediately been able to curb the personal errands on company time by tracking and being able to hold people accountable for where they have been during work hours. February 1, 2013

Our blog section features rapid response fact-checks of conservative misinformation, links to media criticism from around the web, commentary, analysis and breaking news from Media Matters' senior fellows, investigative team, researchers and other staff.
Wall Street Journal editorial board member James Taranto defended his recent column that dismissed the epidemic of sexual assault in the military as a "war on men." Taranto has a long history of making sexist remarks.
Fox News hosts falsely claimed that a federal program that helps low-income Americans obtain phone access is paid for by individual taxpayers, when in fact the program is funded by fees levied on telecommunications companies. Fox fabricated this falsehood in support of a new smear campaign against low-income phone programs from conservative activist James O'Keefe.

Creating an Immigration System for the 21st Century
Understand how and where your tax dollars are being spent
Jeffrey Crowley was formerly Director of the Office of National AIDS Policy and Senior Advisor on Disability Policy at the White House. In these roles, he was the President's lead advisor on HIV/AIDS policy and responsible for coordinating disability and health policy issues for the Domestic Policy Council.
From 2000-2009, Mr. Crowley was a Senior Research Scholar at Georgetown University's Health Policy Institute and a Senior Scholar at the University's O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law.
