Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Our take on the mophie juice pack helium™ by Ralph Graves The form-hugging case makes your protected iPhone 5 easy to hold and use. If you spend a significant amount of time on the go — be it traveling for business, or running errands and family members around town, you need your iPhone 5 to stay charged. And there's not always an outlet handy in a plane or at a store. The mophie juice pack helium solves the problem. This ultra-thin protective case features a built-in battery with enough power to keep your iPhone going for hours after the regular battery has run out. And its slender design makes it easy to slip into a pocket or purse. Almost double your iPhone 5's battery life Slip your iPhone 5 onto the juice pack helium's Lightning connector and close the case. It's now connected to a built-in rechargeable battery that can double your reserve of power. That's enough for 6 additional hours of talk or Internet use, or up to 30 more hours of audio playback. You can set the juice pack helium to keep your iPhone continuously charged, or with a button press recharge your iPhone quickly when you need it. An all-access case The juice pack helium has a USB charging cable that can connect to a computer or USB-compatible power adapter. And you can sync your iPhone through the helium's charging cable. Integrated pass-through buttons let you control volume, mute, and power on/off. You can also plug in your headphones through an opening the case.

Features Mophie Juice Pack Helium (for iPhone 5/5S): The Mophie Juice Pack Helium combines a protective case and rechargeable battery for your Apple iPhone 5/5S (not compatible with iPhone 5C). The Juice Pack Helium has a built-in rechargeable battery which extends the battery life of your iPhone 5/5S for hours. The Juice Pack Helium also provides an ultra-slim design with the complete protection of a hard shell case with protective rubberized backing. With the Juice Pack Helium, you'll be able to easily access all of your controls, microphone, camera speaker, and headphone jack (via headphone extension cable). It also has acoustic sound enhancing speaker ports for a richer, fuller sound quality. Note: You will need to remove your iPhone 5/5S device from the Mophie Juice Pack Helium in order to connect your iPhone 5/5S with an Apple certified product with a Lightning dock connector. You will also need to remove your iPhone 5/5S from the Juice Pack Helium to connect your iPhone 5/5S to a home audio or car stereo component which allows iPhone playback through its USB port. Extended Battery Life: Since it is designed to extend the battery life of your iPhone 5/5S by up to 80%, the Mophie Juice Pack Helium is the ultimate iPhone 5/5S battery case for travel or business. The Juice Pack Helium is great for when your iPhone 5/5S is drained of power or you simply one to extend its battery. When the iPhone 5/5S is connected to the Juice Pack Helium, a battery symbol will appear on the screen and you will hear a chirp from the iPhone 5/5S; this indicates that the iPhone 5/5S is charging and/or using the power from the Juice Pack Helium rather than from the iPhone 5/5S itself. Talk Time: up to additional 6 hours on 3G Internet Use: up to additional 6 hours on 3G or LTE, and up to additional 7 hours on WiFi Audio Playback: up to 30 hours Video Playback: up to 7 hours Note: If your iPhone 5/5S is drained of power, the Juice Pack Helium will first charge your iPhone 5/5S. If your iPhone 5/5S is fully charged, the Juice Pack Helium will act as your primary battery and no power will be lost from the iPhone internal battery until the Juice Pack Helium is depleted Rechargeable Battery: The Mophie Juice Pack Helium features a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery rated at 1500mAh. The Mophie Juice Pack Helium battery can easily be recharged by connecting the Juice Pack Helium to a power source using the included micro-USB cable. The USB cable can be plugged in to your computer or any "Works with iPhone" wall-plug style power source with USB output. You can either charge the Juice Pack Helium with the iPhone 5/5S inserted or charge them separately. The Juice Pack Helium comes charged and ready to go, but after the initial use, normal charging will take only 2 to 3 hours for maximum power. Note: The Juice Pack Helium is rechargeable for over 500 full cycles. So, you can charge your juice pack 10% of the way 10x before it counts as a complete cycle. After 500 cycles, its fully charged capacity will be less than 75% of the capacity when it's new. Standby Mode: The integrated power switch allows you to put the Juice Pack Helium in standby mode, so you only use the battery when you need it. In standby mode, the Juice Pack Helium still allows charge and sync capabilities through the micro-USB port and still offers the complete protection of a case. 4 LEDs: Four LEDs on the bottom of the smart battery case keep tabs on how much power is left in the Juice Pack Helium battery. The LEDs also keep you updated on the Juice Pack Helium charging status when it's plugged in. The LEDs located on the back of the device will blink when charging. As the Juice Pack Helium becomes more charged, the LEDs will indicate how full it is, but one LED will remain blinking until completely full. To check the battery status of the Juice Pack Helium, press the button located on the bottom of the case. When pressed, the LED lights will illuminate for several seconds. Four LEDs means that the Juice Pack Helium is fully charged, and one LED means that it is almost empty. Protection Circuitry: The Mophie Juice Pack Helium features built-in short circuit, over-charge, and temperature protection. Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs (what are the Labs?)

Written By Rob, New York, NY on Sunday, June 29, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a seriously helpful battery-life extender, which I find particularly useful because I travel so much. It's just great not to have to worry when the bar goes down to almost zero on my iPhone with no place to charge it (i.e. an airplane, a long train trip). With the Mophie Juice Pack Helium, this is never going to be a problem for me again. Pros: Looks great. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 The right solution at the right time Written By DCGuy, Washington, DC on Tuesday, May 20, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My IPhone battery was lasting only half a day. With this extra battery, I can travel with confidence that I don't need to have a charger handy for at least a day or two. I like the way it looks and the phone fits handily into the external case. It is easy to hold and fits nicely in my pocket. The instructions are clear as well. Since my Lighting Connector charger wasn't needed, I did find myself having to buy some extra micro-USB cords to use for charging in different locations, such as my car, but I can use it for other gadgets anyway. I was so pleased with the item I ended up buying one for my son's Galaxy IV phone as well since I often couldn't reach him because his battery would die on him while traveling. Now we're both well equipped and ready to travel with or without a charger handy. Pros: Keeps IPhone charged for more than 24-36 hours. Lightweight and attractive. Simple to use. Cons: Doesn't use Lightning plug so I had to buy extra micro cord to charge in my car. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Excellent product Written By Fran, Swisher, ia on Saturday, January 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent product! Crutchfield shipped item really quickly Pros: Extra battery life, good design and colors Cons: Can't use iPhone cord for charging. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Product - Fast Shipping! Written By Kevin B, Charlotte, NC on Friday, January 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I found out while on the road having no USB jack in the rental car posed spells recipe for disaster trying to talk and navigate using GPS watching the power steadily drain from my iPhone. Upon my return, I decided to purchase the mophie juice pack helium (recommendation from a colleague) and pleased it was a nice reprieve to thwart those times when power sources are scarce/nonexistent. The mophie case is roughly the same size of the Otterbox Commuter case so it's still sleek and easy to carry and appears to still provide some protection. And when I find times where the battery on the phone is depleted, it's nice to know that I can flip the switch on the mophie juice pack and it charges back to 100% (or close to it) so I can continue to use my iPhone until I have opportunity to plug into AC/USB port. The only slight complaint is the headphone jack requires their extension pigtail but I actually do prefer the location of the speakers migrated to the top faceing outwards. I would recommend to anyone considering the need for an additional power source to keep them up and running! Pros: FAST SHIPPING! Thanks Crutchfield!!! Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Excellent Shipping Time - Great Product Written By cer, Lubbock, Texas on Tuesday, December 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great Product - extends phones life for continuous use. Quick Shipping. Cons: None Was this review helpful?

I retain 100% power from 6:00am through 5:30pm. Power drops to about 65% around 10 pm. I am a heavy email, text and data user in a constant contact oriented business. Life expectancy approx 15 months. Pros: Long life, charge overnight, leave turned on. Cons: Hard to remove, bulky and adds weight to phone. Was this review helpful?

The 45 states included in the study spent a combined $669 million a year on primary assessment contracts, with per-pupil spending ranging from $13 to $105 for assessments for third- to ninth-grade students. Georgia spent $14.
"We find that larger states tend to spend substantially less, per student, than smaller states, which is not surprising given that larger states save on fixed costs like test development by spreading them over more students and may have more bargaining power," Matthew Chingos of the Brown Center wrote in the report. "This relatively low level of spending on assessment, combined with concerns that the quality of tests in many states is not high enough to use them for high-stakes purposes such as teacher evaluation, strongly suggests that states should seek efficiencies in order to absorb budgets cuts without compromising test quality or to free up resources that could be reinvested in upgrades to assessment systems.
"A clear strategy for cost savings suggested by our data is for states to collaborate on assessments so as to share the fixed costs of test and item development over larger numbers of students. Our cost model predicts substantial savings from collaborating on assessments. For example, a state with 100,000 students that joins a consortium of states containing one million students saves an estimated 37 percent, or $1.4 million per year; a state of 500,000 students saves 25 percent, or $3.9 million, by joining the same consortium."
Chingos addressed the Common Core standards in the 42-page report, titled "Strength in Numbers: State Spending on K-12 Assessment Systems." This is the first year ninth graders will have to meet the standards, with the intent to "provide a consistent framework to prepare students for success in college and/or the 21st century workplace."
"The Common Core effort has prompted concerns about the cost of implementing the new standards and assessments, especially in states that have historically spent very little on their tests," Chingos wrote. "Unfortunately, there is little comprehensive up-to-date information on the costs of assessment systems currently in place throughout the country. This report seeks to fill this void by providing the most current, comprehensive evidence on state-level costs of assessment systems, based on new data gathered from state contracts with testing vendors. ...The most current and comprehensive publicly available data on state spending on assessments were collected by the Common Core assessment consortia, [the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium and Partnership and the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers], through surveys of their member states in 2010.
"The SBAC states reported spending between $7 and $123 per student on their math and ELA assessments. For the vast majority of states, these numbers are substantially more than spending almost 10 years earlier but still represent a small share of overall expenditures."
As states face less federal funding for areas of education, Chingos said the price of Common Core assessments likely will be carried by the state as well, citing the federal Common Core grant will in September 2014, at least six months before the first operational tests are administered.
"It is not yet clear how participating states will share the cost of sustaining the consortia assessments, or whether the federal government will provide additional support for this effort," Chingos wrote. "What is clear is that states that currently have inexpensive assessments will be under pressure to spend more to pay for the ongoing costs of the consortia assessments.
"For example, SBAC currently estimates that its summative assessment will cost about $20 per student. This amount is less than many SBAC states currently report spending, but represents a cost increase for six states. These states will have to decide whether the benefits of their continued participation are worth the increase in costs."
Georgia is one of those six states.

I feel like there is a thread for this somewhere, but honestly didn't want to dig it up and starting clean never hurts Anywho ... Posted a couple times about considering an arrow swap for the coming season. I tend to go through almost a dozen a year it seems and I'm almost to that point with my last batch of GT Velocity (300). I found that my Bengal tuned better with the .300 spine vs the .400 and so I'm planning on sticking with the .350-.300 range. I was able to diddle with a trial of OT2 shaft selector and showed optimal spine was .340s - so that got me to looking around at what arrows would fit the bill and possibly allow me to shave some weight and pick up a little more juice.
Now I know there are guys out there that say you HAVE to have a 400+ gr arrow to shoot deer and I just laugh at it. With my ranges that I know I shoot, I'm plenty comfortable with a "lighter" arrow. I put 2 solid pass throughs at 20 and 30 yards with the Cheetah shooting 60# and a GT Velocity 400 that probably weight a touch more than 330gr. With the Bengal, I'm pretty confident I got a bit more push behind them arrows to get the job done.
I'm thinking I might just pick up a half dozen of whatever new arrow I pick up just to see how well they shoot and if I like them so I'm not out more money. If all is well, grab 6 more. So here is where I've come to in my search ... what does everyone think - if they've had experience with any of the shafts or would recommend based on what you've seen/heard/etc.
(All finished weights based on 27.5" shaft, might be able to go shorter, and corresponding components with 100gr points/bh. Need to do some more fine tuning with the Bengal in draw length etc once I get my elusive draw board built. All will be within 5gr per pound draw weight. Current arrow weight approx 385gr)
Victory VForce HV 350 - 6.8gpi - finished weight approx 325gr
Gold Tip Velocity 340 - 8.2gpi - approx 363gr
Black Eagle Arrows Carnivores - 7.5gpi - 346gr
Bloodsport (Muddy) HT2 - 7.9gpi - 353gr
From what I've seen so far, the BEA are going to be the most pricey (+$20-$25/half dozen) of the bunch. The others pretty much run about the same +/- $5/half-dozen. If I'm missing another arrow with similar spec, post it up and lets have us a chat

LeapFrog Online Privacy Policy
Last Updated: December 13, 2010
Thank you for using a website, web-connected software application, or other online service (collectively, "Online Service(s)") operated by LeapFrog Enterprises, Inc. On this page, we may simply refer to ourselves as "LeapFrog," "we," "our" or "us."

Therefore, all references to "you" or "your" refer to adult users, unless specifically noted otherwise. We have also developed a separate specific set of practices for the handling of any personal information we collect online about children or students. These are outlined in Section 10 below.
- What does this Privacy Policy apply to?

By using our Online Services, you are agreeing to allow us to collect, use, store, and transfer your information, including any information you provide about your children/students (collectively, "your information"), as described in this Privacy Policy. Please note that this means, regardless of where you live, you will be giving us permission to transfer your information to, and to store and process your information within, the United States of America or other countries where LeapFrog or our affiliates, subsidiaries, or agents maintain facilities or business operations or otherwise seek to use the data as set forth under Section 6 below. If you do not wish to agree to these terms, please do not provide your information when requested and immediately stop using our Online Services. Your use of certain LeapFrog Online Services may also be subject to "terms of use" or "software license" agreements which are separate from this Policy and available in our Legal Terms. Nothing in this Policy shall be construed to limit LeapFrog's rights and remedies under any such separate agreements.
Changes to this Policy
From time to time, we may update this Policy. If we do, we will note at the top of this page the date that any changes are made and/or when they become effective. If the changes being made are material (for example, we want to use your information, specifically personal information, in ways we did not previously tell you about in this Policy or could not be reasonably expected by you), we will alert you to the changes in a more prominent way. For example, we may temporarily highlight the new or revised sections in this Policy, temporarily post a prominent notice on our home page or registration/login page, or temporarily add the word "Updated" to the title of this Policy and any hypertext links pointing to this Policy. In all instances where your consent is necessary, we will also send you an e-mail message or other communication telling you about the changes and asking for your consent to the additional use of your information.

No personal information is ever solicited or collected directly from children or children-aged students (for more information about our practices regarding children/students, please see Section 10 below).
- Demographic Information, which may include the following types of information about you and/or your children/students: age or date of birth, grades taught or grade level, highest level of education or graduation date, gender, products owned or of interest, favorite subjects and characters, languages spoken, involvement in school programs, and other non-personal or survey-type information including hobbies, attitudes, interests, and skills. Again, this type of information is only collected directly from adults (parents or educators) and, as mentioned above, pertains to themselves and/or their children or students. In some instances (such as for Learning Path registration on LeapFrog.com, registrations within web-connected software applications, and certain detailed surveys), demographic information may be combined and stored together with your personal information.
- Login Information such as username and password, secret answers to certain security questions, or other similar information that allows us to uniquely identify your account or authenticate you prior to giving you access to your account information or certain online activities. For some online accounts (such as a LeapFrog account created on LeapFrog.com), certain login information such as your username may, itself, be personal (like an e-mail address) or tied to other personal information.
Information passively or automatically collected
- Technical Information, which may include certain information or characteristics about your computer system, your LeapFrog product device, or LeapFrog web-connected software application. Specific examples include the type of computer operating system and web browser you use, your computer's Internet Protocol (IP) Address, the names and versions of programs installed on your computer, and, for LeapFrog product devices, information about the device itself, including product ID or serial number, applications or software titles stored on the device, and product license information (i.e., information about the person or system licensed/authorized to use the product and/or its supporting software applications). For the most part, technical information such as the types described above remains anonymous (i.e., does not identify you personally), but in some cases can be traced back to personal information such as an e-mail address.
- Usage Information, which may collectively include non-personal information about: (i) how you or your children/students use, browse, or view content on our websites ("website usage" or "browsing" data), what products you buy or download online ("order history"), (ii) how you or your children/students use and interact with the basic functionalities of LeapFrog connected products or web-connected software applications ("product usage data"), and (iii) how your children/students perform and progress on certain tasks or activities when playing with LeapFrog connected devices or on certain child-friendly areas of LeapFrog's websites or web-connected software applications ("play data"). Depending on the specific LeapFrog device, website, or web-connected software application being used and the specific type of usage information being collected, certain usage information may be linked or tied to other information in your account, including personal information.
We will use your information collected in accordance with the provisions of clause 6 of this Policy.
The specific types and amounts of information we collect from adults from the categories above will vary depending on your level of interaction with our Online Services, but, as a general rule, will be relevant and proportionate to the service being requested or used. We may however automatically capture certain technical information and browsing data about your visit to a LeapFrog website or Online Service (such as the browser type you used, which web pages you visited, and how much time you spent on pages visited). (For more on passive or automatic data collection, please see Section 5 on cookies and other web technologies.) If you voluntarily choose to engage in a more active way with a LeapFrog Online Service such as by doing anything from the list below, we may request or require that you provide us certain personal and/or demographic information.
- Register or create an online LeapFrog parent account or LeapFrog School account (both of which may be referred to in this Policy as a "LeapFrog account" or "your account")
- Purchase or download products, software, or other services
- Register products (for example, for warranty purposes or to receive recall notices)
- Sign-up for newsletters, product announcements, marketing or other communications
- Participate in promotions (contests, sweepstakes, store discounts, coupons, etc.)
- Use community features such as our Parent Community blogs and discussion forums, Learning Moments, Link to Lessons, or other similar online forums or social areas
- Contact or communicate with LeapFrog Customer Support
- Participate in online surveys, studies, polls or other market research (such as parent panels)
- Sign-up and participate in focus groups or product testing such as through LeapFrog Labs
- Submit testimonials, success stories, or product ideas
- Create and send e-cards, lesson plans, gift certificates or other content or messages using one of our send-to-friend or refer-a-friend features (Note: As part of these features, we may ask you for certain personal information about family members or friends, such as name, e-mail address, and/or shipping address, which we use to facilitate delivery of the requested item)
Please note that depending on the specific LeapFrog Online Service you are using, some, many, or all of the activities listed above may not be available. It is therefore possible that very little (if any) personal or demographic information may ever get collected from you. When these features are available and if you choose to use them, some of the activities may require that you first register or create a general LeapFrog account on the specific Online Service you are visiting/using. To do this, you may be asked to establish unique login information, in addition to providing personal and/or demographic information.
Consequences for not providing certain information
If you choose not to provide personal or demographic information when requested, your experience using our Online Services may be significantly limited. For example, without submitting personal information, you will not be able to buy products on our Websites or register to stay updated on LeapFrog's newest products or special offers. Furthermore, if you choose not to allow us to upload certain usage information such as your child/student's play data (when such options are available), we may not be able to provide you and your children/students a highly rich and personalized experience when using our products and Online Services.
More about product usage and play data
When you and/or your children/students use a LeapFrog product device which has a "Connected" component (e.g., the device connects to the computer for synchronization with a LeapFrog software application such as LeapFrog Connect), the physical device may keep a log of certain actions performed while the device is used. For example, the device may record such things as: (i) when the device is turned on/off, when the battery is low, when the device was last connected to the corresponding software application, and other similar product usage data; (ii) how many questions were answered by the child/student, the percentage of questions answered correctly, the number of times and amount of time the device was played with, and other similar play data; and, (iii) other similar events and performance patterns, as well as general statistics about these events (such as, the total number of times certain actions were performed). The next time you connect the device to your computer, this information may be uploaded from the device to the corresponding LeapFrog software application on your computer, and, if/when you are connected to the Internet, transmitted back to LeapFrog. The same kinds of information may be gathered and uploaded to LeapFrog when your child/student uses certain child-friendly areas of our Online Services.
The gathering of this information is primarily done so we can: (i) continue to enhance and customize the playing experience for users of our connected products; (ii) provide you with a personalized LeapFrog Learning Path that shows you the learning progress for each child/student player set up under your account (this may also be called a "footprint"); and (iii) recommend additional LeapFrog products to you based on such learning progress. In the school context, educators may be given the ability to download, save/archive, print, or email student progress information but only for school-related purposes.
Important play data controls
It is our desire that only you, the parent or educator who initially created the relevant LeapFrog account, have access to the LeapFrog Learning Path(s) associated with the child/student profile(s) under your account. We therefore recommend that in addition to the measures we take to protect your account information, you follow the tips provided under Section 8 below. This will help ensure that the child/student data under your account cannot be viewed or accessed by others. In addition, within the advanced settings area for each child/student profile under your account, you may be given the option to control whether play data (which is the data that forms the LeapFrog Learning Path) is continuously uploaded back to LeapFrog and/or to delete a certain amount of historical play data that had been previously uploaded to and stored on our servers. Although we do not recommend you exercise these controls (since it would essentially disable a primary reason for buying and using our connected devices), if you nonetheless choose to do so, please take special note of the following:
- If you delete past play data, this action will make the past play data anonymous and untraceable back to your unique LeapFrog account or an individual child/student. This will not, however, remove the information entirely;
- You may need to separately access and update each child/student profile under your account in order for play data controls to take effect on every child/student profile; and,
- The play data controls mentioned above will only impact the transfer of play data (whether current or past) from the software application on your computer to LeapFrog. Copies of children/students' play data may remain locally on your computer and may continue to be collected and uploaded from the device to your computer, even if you have exercised the controls above.
Special note about community features
From time to time, we may provide online community or social-type features that allow you to publicly post, or share with other users, messages, stories, pictures, artwork, videos, testimonials, lesson plans, or other content. Along with such content, you may also be given the opportunity to post certain personal information about you or others to whom the content relates (for example, your name or part of your name, city and state of residence, and, for educators, title and name of your school). Although we may take certain precautions to protect those who use and participate in these activities (for example, by posting screen names instead of real names, obtaining your consent prior to publishing your content or personal information, filtering or cleansing content before it is posted, using pre-established messages, or limiting the group of people with whom users can interact and exchange information), we cannot guarantee the privacy of these areas and are not responsible for any information you choose to post or share. We encourage you to use common sense when using these services and never to reveal personal information about you or your children/students that you do not want others to see. Any information you post or share in these areas is done so at your own risk. If we choose to make any community features available to children users, we will be sure to obtain verifiable parental consent prior to granting children access to these areas. For more on our practices regarding children and children-aged students, please see Section 10 below.
LeapFrog may use a variety of standard technologies to: (i) enhance and personalize your experience while using our Online Services (including saving you the time of having to repeatedly re-enter information); (ii) generate statistics and information about traffic to and usage of our Online Services; and (iii) advise you of LeapFrog products, services, and/or special offers which may be of interest to you; and, (iv) run and measure the effectiveness of certain advertising or promotional campaigns, including those run by network advertisers on our behalf. These tools may include the following:
- Cookies – these are small text files that we may store on your computer to remember certain things about your visit to or use of our Online Services. For example, cookies might be used for any of the following: (i) remembering the content you previously viewed on a LeapFrog website, your online order history, items you placed in a wish list or shopping cart, or the nickname or device profile name you created when registering on one of our websites or web-connected software applications; (ii) keeping track of your children/students' favorite games and activities (for example, within the LeapFrog Connect Applications), and any points or rewards they generate when playing them; (iii) for security purposes, such as to lock out underage users from certain activities or services; (iv) remembering or storing certain personal information (such as the username/email address you use to login to your LeapFrog account) so we can save you the time of having to re-enter this information, or re-market to you products in which you have previously shown interest; and/or (v) linking information contained in a cookie to personal information collected from you by other means (such as through account registration).
Most common web browsers today allow you to modify your settings to block cookies entirely, alert you every time they are being sent, or allow their use by only those websites you approve. You can also delete cookies that are currently stored on your computer's hard drive. To do this, look for the Cookie control settings in your web browser (usually under Tools, Options/Internet Options, Privacy/Security tab) and then make your desired selections. If you choose to disable cookies, certain features of our Online Services may not be available or work properly and you may inadvertently delete the cookie that enables you to opt-out of ads served by network advertisers on our behalf (see below for more information).
- Log Files – these are files that record web activity and gather non-personal statistics about your visit to or use of a LeapFrog Online Service. Log files may help us capture, among other things: (i) your IP Address, which is a unique set of numbers assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) (note that, depending on your ISP, the number assigned to your computer can be different every time you connect to the Internet); (ii) the type of browser and operating system you use; and, (iii) other information about your online session, such as the URL you came from to get to our website and the date and time you visited our website or used our Online Service. In addition to using this information to better understand how our Online Services are used, we may use information captured through log files such as an IP Address (together with your personal information) to troubleshoot technical problems, maintain online safety and security, and if necessary, prohibit or restrict access to our Online Services by certain users.
- Web beacons – Web beacons are small electronic image files that can be embedded within a web page or included in an e-mail message, and are usually invisible to the human eye. When used, web beacons (also known as "web bugs," "clear GIFs," or "tracking pixels") may tell us such things as: how many people are coming to our websites or using our Online Services; whether they are one-time or repeat visitors; which pages they've viewed and for how long; how well certain online advertising campaigns are converting; and other similar website usage data. When used in an e-mail, web beacons can tell us the time the e-mail was opened, if and how many times it was forwarded, and what links users click on from within the e-mail message. Based on this information, we can adjust the content, products, services, and promotions we provide you to better meet your interests, as well as make you aware of LeapFrog products, services, and/or special offers in which you may be interested, given your past interaction with LeapFrog's Online Services.
Network Advertisers
From time to time, we may hire an independent network advertising company so we can show you LeapFrog banner ads when you visit other, third party websites. To do this more efficiently, the network advertiser may use and place on your computer certain web technologies, such as cookies and/or web beacons, to collect from you non-personal information (in most cases, certain technical and/or browsing data as defined in Section 3 above) while you visit our websites or other websites participating in the same network. This information is then used to display advertisements about goods and services (whether offered by LeapFrog or other companies) more likely to be of interest to you when you visit those other websites. If you would like to learn more about this practice or how you can opt out from allowing network advertisers to gather this information from you or use it to provide you tailored ads on other sites, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI)'s website at: http://networkadvertising.org/consumer/opt_out.asp.
Please note that even if you use the mechanism above to opt-out from this type of information gathering, if, at any time, you disable or delete all cookies stored on your computer, you will have also disabled the same technology (namely, cookies) used by the NAI to help prevent you from receiving this type of advertising. If you do not want this to happen, please make sure not to disable/delete the NAI cookie, or add NAI to the approved list of sites from whom you allow or accept cookies (see Cookies paragraph above for instructions on how to change your browser's cookie settings).
Primarily, LeapFrog uses your information to provide the Online Services that you request (see Section 4) and in the manner in which we have designed them. In other words, and by way of example only, if you register online for a LeapFrog account, the information you provide will be used to give you the benefits that come with having a registered account. This could include getting access to exclusive content and community features, as well as, if you indicate your consent to receive them, receiving newsletters and online store discounts from LeapFrog. If you contact Customer Support, your information will be used to respond to your inquiry or help address your concern, and to maintain a log of your customer support history to allow for faster processing of future inquiries. If you participate in a sweepstake, prize promotion or giveaway, we use your information to enter your name in the promotion, and, if you are a winner, to fulfill your prize and possibly post certain information about you on our website (e.g., first name, last initial and city of residence only). Any credit card information you provide is used to fulfill and process your online purchases, as well as to provide you a convenient way to store or update payment information for future purchases. This is how we've configured these services, and so, if you request them, they will be delivered to you in this manner. In some instances, we may offer you some choices on how these services are delivered, and the extent to which certain information is collected or stored by LeapFrog to provide you these services (see Section 9 for more information about these choices).
In addition to the above, and depending on the information collected and the service for which it is collected, we may also use the information we collect in the following ways:
- To send you mandatory communications such as welcome letters, purchase confirmations, parental notice or consent emails, recall announcements, or other similar transactional or administrative notices;
- To send you informational communications such as newsletters, articles, or personalized learning progress updates;
- If you give your consent to receive them, to send you marketing communications such as product news, event announcements, store discounts, or special offers or promotions from LeapFrog;
- If you give your consent to receive them, to send you mailings of our product catalogue and other requested items;
- If you give your consent to receive them, to send you information about the products and services of other companies that we think might interest you (Note: These specific notices would be sent by LeapFrog on behalf of other reputable companies and would not require us to share your personal information. For notices that may come directly from third party companies and require us to share your information, please see Section 7 below);
- To enable you to give us feedback on our products and services, such as through our parent panel programs, periodic product research studies, and customer satisfaction surveys;
- To provide you a convenient, highly relevant, and personalized experience when you use our Online Services and connected product devices (examples may include greeting you by your name when you revisit and login to our websites, making product recommendations based on online store purchases or a child/student's unique learning progress, or displaying the total reward points earned by your child/student from game play);
- For identification, eligibility, and security purposes, such as to help verify your identity when you log in to your account, confirm eligibility in a sweepstakes or contest, or help prevent unauthorized access to or use of your account information;
- To advise you, through the use of online advertising devices such as web banners and search advertising inquiries, of LeapFrog products, services, promotions, and special offers which may be of interest to you;
- To conduct internal and external market analysis and research studies; and,
- To otherwise improve and customize our products, services, and technologies to better meet your needs and the needs of your children/students.
Enhancing our consumer records
In order to effectively carry out some of the uses described above, we may combine information collected from one LeapFrog Online Service with information obtained through another LeapFrog Online Service. In addition, we may obtain additional consumer data, or enhance, update, or add to our existing consumer records with personal or demographic information we acquire from third party sources (e.g., data aggregators, third party promotional partners, etc.), and use this information for our own internal purposes, to enhance your use of the LeapFrog Online Service or, if you consent, for marketing purposes.
LeapFrog may share your information, including (in some cases) your personal information and any children/student information under your account, in the following situations:
- When we hire vendors to perform services on our behalf, such as helping us operate a LeapFrog website or Online Service, fulfill a contest or sweepstakes, administer surveys, process online store transactions, execute and optimize marketing/advertising campaigns, and manage and enhance consumer data. These companies are only allowed to obtain the personal information they need to perform the specific task they've been hired to do and are prohibited from using the information for any other purpose. They have also agreed to keep your information confidential and secure. In the case of any network advertiser hired by LeapFrog, LeapFrog requires the network advertiser to refrain from sharing or using any data collected at the request of LeapFrog for the benefit of anyone other than LeapFrog unless LeapFrog has your explicit consent for that type of use.
- When we share your information with the family of LeapFrog companies, including our subsidiaries, parent company, or international companies. This allows us to get a better understanding of who our consumers are worldwide, improve our products based on global needs and interests, and market our products using local resources and based on local interests.
- We may partner with independent, carefully-selected third party companies to provide you information regarding products and services that may be of interest to you and /or to let you know about special offers from these third party companies. For example, we may team up with a third party company to offer a contest, giveaway, or other promotion that promotes both our products and theirs, and as part of such promotion, agree to share the collected consumer data (including personal information such as your name and email address). Similarly, when you register for a LeapFrog account or otherwise sign-up to receive LeapFrog marketing communications, we may allow you to simultaneously sign-up to receive email offers directly from third party companies who offer other products or services that might interest you. A limited amount of personal and demographic information (such as your name, email address, and ages of children in your household) may be shared as part of such third party email program.
We take measures to help ensure that our third party partners agree to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and security of any personal information we share with them. When, with your consent, your personal information is shared or simultaneously collected by a third party company as described above, it will either be obvious to you from the context (such as clearly marked third-party branding on the page) or you will be notified about the sharing at the time your personal information is requested. You will always be given the opportunity to opt-in to such sharing practices before they are initiated and also subsequently to unsubscribe from receiving any further communications should you wish to do so.
California Residents: Your California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you may have the right to request and receive certain information about our disclosure of your personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes, and your choices with respect to such disclosures. Because it is our policy not to share your personal information with third parties unless you are first given the opportunity to at least opt-out from such sharing (and this policy is clearly disclosed above), we are exempt from having to meet this requirement. If you still wish to learn more about our compliance with this requirement, please contact us using the contact information provided at the top of this Policy.
Who else has access to your information?
- If we are bought or acquired by another company (either fully or partially), merged with another company, or experience a reorganization, bankruptcy, or other similar event, your information may be shared with our successor or assign (i.e., the new company or the company that takes over).
- If we are required to share your information because such action is reasonably necessary to comply with legal-related processes, enforce contract terms, respond to or resolve any claims (including valid consumer complaints), or otherwise protect or enforce the safety or rights (including intellectual property rights) of LeapFrog, our business customers and partners, our consumers, or the general public.
- If we wish to generally assess (with the help of a third party company) how our Online Services are performing in the Internet marketplace, their popularity or use amongst certain consumer demographics or profiles, and other similar performance metrics, the information disclosed for these purposes will be in aggregate form and limited to demographic or other anonymous data; no personal information will be shared.
LeapFrog uses a variety of organizational, technical, and physical safeguards to help protect the security of your personal information (i.e., to prevent it from being lost, destroyed, stolen, misused, or accessed by an unauthorized person). These measures include, but are not limited to:
- Using industry-standard encryption to protect credit card numbers when they are transmitted to LeapFrog through any of our Online Services;
- Storing your personal information in secure operating environments that are only accessible to authorized LeapFrog employees and vendors on a strict need-to-know basis; and,
- Requiring our online users to verify their identities with unique login information before they can access or modify their LeapFrog account information or settings.
How you can help protect your information
You can also play a role in helping keep your personal information safe. If you are required to create a unique password to restrict access to your account, choose a password that is hard for others to guess (one that has a combination of letters, symbols, or numbers), and be sure never to reveal it to anyone else. It is your responsibility to keep your password and account information confidential at all times. If you use a shared or public computer, never choose to have your login information remembered and make sure to log out of your account every time you leave the computer. If you are an educator, you should avoid saving or downloading any student progress information onto shared or public computers.
It is your responsibility to keep your LeapFrog account information (including your email address) current and accurate, and to notify us if your email account ever changes or is terminated. LeapFrog assumes no responsibility for misdirected messages (i.e., messages sent to an email account which you no longer own). Misdirected messages could reveal personal information about you (or the children/student profiles under your account) to unintended third parties.
If you own a LeapFrog connected product, the product may be designed to store certain information on the physical device itself (for example, a child's first name and/or product usage and play data). For your protection, before selling or otherwise transferring ownership of your LeapFrog product, please be sure to clean off and securely remove all information from the device itself, including any play data. One way you could do this is by connecting the product to your computer and doing one last upload or sync to the corresponding LeapFrog software application. In most cases, this will automatically erase the information stored on the product device. For additional help, please contact Customer Service using the information provided at the top of this Policy.
The best and simplest way to do this is to first login to your account and then go to the relevant account management section of our website or Online Service where you can view and update your account information, unsubscribe from LeapFrog marketing communications or modify other preferences and settings. These areas are usually marked clearly on our website or Online Service (for example, they may be labeled as "My Account," "Your Account," "Edit Profile," "Settings," or other similar names), and may offer a variety of options that allow you to update information we've stored about you or any children/student profiles under your account, delete accounts or profiles, or otherwise maintain control over how your information is collected, stored, used, or shared by LeapFrog. If these options are not available on our website or Online Service you are using, or you wish to make a request or modification different from what is offered or allowed within these account management areas, the following additional options are available to you:
- Opting out from LeapFrog marketing communications – At the time of registration or data collection, may opt-out of receiving marketing communications from LeapFrog by un-checking a noticeable check box. For some registrations and activities, receipt of communications (including marketing communications) may be automatic upon your giving us personal information (such as an email address on a sign-up form intended exclusively for that purpose) or upon taking some other action associated with receiving communications (such as setting up a device or a child/student profile under your LeapFrog account).
With every marketing communication we send you, we provide you a process to opt-out from receiving future marketing messages of the same kind (i.e., unsubscribe). Simply follow the unsubscribe process or directions provided within each such marketing communication. Please note that even if you opt out from all LeapFrog marketing communications, you may continue to receive mandatory communications from us (as noted in Section 6 above).
- Opting out from third party communications – If signing up for third party communications is offered to you at the time of registration or data collection (for example, as part of a joint promotion or LeapFrog's third party email program – See Section 7above), you will be given the option to opt-out of having your personal information shared for such purposes at the time of registration or data collection. You may also be given the option to edit your selection for such sharing within your account management or edit profile section. Please note, however, that any opt-out requests you make after the time of registration or data collection, will only prevent future transfers of your personal information. To stop receiving communications from third parties who've already received your information, you will need to follow the unsubscribe process provided separately by each such third party company. This process should be provided in each third party communication you receive and in the third party's privacy policy.
- Customer Service – For additional help, you can always contact Customer Support using the information provided at the top of this Policy.
As a leading manufacturer of children's educational toy products, LeapFrog recognizes the importance of protecting children's information and strongly encourages parents to be actively involved in their children's online activities. For this reason, we will not knowingly collect or solicit any personal information directly from children or children-aged students. Please note that we regard children as anyone under the age of 16
- We will only collect children's personal information from adults. LeapFrog's online data collection activities are primarily targeted at parents and educators, and thus we do not collect personal information (defined above) from users that we know to be children. If we seek to have personal information about children, we will always request this information directly from a parent, educator, or other adult (but not the child) and on a portion of our website or Online Service intended only for such adults. In addition, any children's information is stored as part of the corresponding adult's LeapFrog account (not a child's account), and can only be accessed by the adult account owner.
- Children's activities are accessible with no personal information required. Any online activities we make available for children in particular, such as online game play, artwork studios, or reward centers, are only accessible without the need for the child to provide any personal information. As an example, children are allowed to use the online child-friendly activities or play areas with only a username (such as a nickname or character name) or other non-personal login information (as defined above). If any such activities or play areas offer a means for children to chat or otherwise interact with other players online, such features will only be designed so that children cannot reveal or exchange any personal information or any information which identifies the child. For example, children may be limited to using menu-based chat, which requires them to choose from a pre-established list of short phrases or emoticons that are created by LeapFrog and that do not contain any personal information.
We will always ask for verifiable parental consent for any activities, such as a one-time contest, e-card or wish list, where we will require a limited amount of personal information (such as an e-mail address), and this information will only be used to administer the contest or facilitate the one-time communication. It will not be stored or further used by LeapFrog once the specific one-time communication or service has been fulfilled.
When children use our connected product devices, as well as certain child-friendly areas of our websites and web-connected software applications, we may automatically collect and upload certain technical and usage information (as described in Section 4 above - "More about product usage and play data"). This type of information by itself is not personally identifiable, but it may be associated with a parent or educator's LeapFrog account (which includes personal information) for the purpose of producing the LeapFrog Learning Path and allowing us to provide parents/educators with personalized recommendations for additional LeapFrog products.
- We always obtain parental consent when collecting personal information from children. Depending on the Online Service and the intended use(s) of the child's information, this process could vary, and may, for example, involve a prior opt-in consent obtained from the parent using such mechanisms as e-mail with follow-up confirmation, a credit card transaction, a printed form with the parent's signature, or other mechanism permitted by law.
- We handle children's personal information according to this Policy. Unless noted differently in this Section 10 or elsewhere in this Policy, any personal information collected from children will be used, protected, and disclosed in accordance with the other terms of this Policy (as set forth in detail in Sections 1–9 above). LeapFrog does not share any personal information about children with third party companies unless parental consent has been obtained in advance.
- Parents/educators can access and control their children's information and activities at any time. Parents have the ability to review the personal information we've stored about their child, request that we delete their child's personal information, or stop the further use or online collection of their child's personal information. In the school context, educators may be given similar controls with respect to the handling of personal information collected from or about their children-aged students. As mentioned earlier, because all personal information about children or students is initially collected from a parent or educator (not the child or student) and stored as part of the adult's LeapFrog account profile, the designated account management or edit profile area for that account allows the parent/educator to view and update their children/students' personal information. For online play areas that contain interactive features such as chat, parents/educators may be given additional controls to manage their children/students' online activities, including the ability to set play time limits, turn chat features on and off, and control friends' lists. Prior to taking any of the actions above, the parent/educator may be required to log in to their LeapFrog account and/or verify their identity.

Yesterday brought bad news for Stephen M. McDaniel, the 25-year-old Mercer Law School alumnus accused of killing his neighbor and classmate, Lauren Giddings. His lawyers' request for a reconsideration of his bond, originally set at $850,000 by Chief Judge S. Phillip Brown, got denied.
One of McDaniel's lawyers, Franklin J. Hogue, argued that the bond was "excessive," claiming that the McDaniel family couldn't afford more than $150,000. The prosecution countered that the family's financial picture might have changed since the passing of McDaniel's grandfather, Hollis Browning, back in April. According to Floyd Buford, another lawyer working for McDaniel, Browning's will remains to be executed. In the end, the judge left bail as is — meaning McDaniel will remain in jail for the foreseeable future.
Now let's hear the good news for the defendant. It relates to that disturbing internet posting that the prosecution attributed to Hacksaw McDaniel back in April….

We know that this has been a difficult time for many Montessori schools in the USA and abroad. In a weak economy, with increasing government pressure on schools to follow a state-mandated curriculum and prepare students for state-prescribed tests, parents tend to be confused and uncertain about the wisdom of following a path that is so different from the ones their friends have chosen for their children. We know that in many schools, students are engaged in a 'race to nowhere.' Today, strong Montessori school leadership is more important than ever for your school's future.
At The Montessori Foundation, Montessori educational Leadership is our focus. We've been here to help Montessori schools, large and small, since 1992. For the past 18 years, through our our wide range of publications and media that promote Montessori education, our conferences, programs in Montessori school leadership, professional development workshops, our Leadership Help Line, and Tomorrow's Child Magazine (read by Montessori parents and teachers everywhere), we help Montessori schools around the world to reach more families and grow strong.
Many of you have been friends of The Montessori Foundation for years. Many have asked how you can help. Now you can!
We invite you to become a founding member of a new worldwide network of parents, teachers, and friends. By joining Friends of Montessori you will discover that you will be able to help your own school, while at the same time supporting the work of The Montessori Foundation. Your membership donation will help to ensure that, in all the years to come, The Montessori Foundation will always be there to help.
As a Friend of Montessori you will receive an attractive membership card, a window decal for your car, and a beautiful lapel pin based on the category of your gift. In addition. Basic and Supporting Members will receive an annual online subscription to Tomorrow's Child. Silver and Gold Lifetime Members will receive a lifetime subscription to Tomorrow's Child Online. Over time, you will discover that there is another benefit of your gift that will continue to grow. As we write, businesses and friends of Montessori are beginning to step forward to be included in a free global network of Friends of Montessori. Most offer discounts and deals to card holders, which only will add more value over time to your membership. And, because The Montessori Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable international NGO organization, your donation will be tax deductible to the full extent provided by the law in your nation.
We have established four levels of membership:
|Annual Membership in Friends of Montessori $40 donation
|Supporting Membership in Friends of Montessori $100 donation a year
|Silver Level Lifetime Membership Friend of Montessori $1,000 donation
|Gold Level Lifetime Membership Friend of Montessori $5,000 donation

I'm a huge beer snob, along with my buddy and I we have a spread sheet tracking beers we've tried over the past year or so. It's up to around 220 beers so far, it's missing a lot we've tried as it only covers stuff we've bought in stores and is missing a lot of good beers we've had on tap as we hit some good beer bars once a week or more. Nerdy for sure, but keeps us from forgetting we tried something and didn't like it, as well as being a good thing to skim through before heading to the liquor store.

Anyone like the new Budweiser American Ale?
I had it on tap after the tour at the Anheiser Busch Brewery in St. Louis last week. I didn't care for it. Just tasted too watery and bland to me. Better than Budweiser for sure, but not much.
But again, I really dig strong "big" beers like Imperial Stouts, double IPAs etc. so those types of more bland beer styles just aren't my cup of tea.
Posted 19 November 2008 - 11:50 PM
EDIT -- dmaul, are you from St. Louis? I went to high school on the east side of the river.

I've had just a handful from your list but may print it out for my next run to the place that stocks a ton of singles. Just had my first Troegs Hopback Amber a few days ago.
Ever had Moose Drool? I finally had it on a trip out west a few weeks ago and it's a fantastic brown.

I'd also recommend Hitachino Nest if you're into Japanese imports that aren't Sapporo, Sapporo, or Sapporo.

Not a fan of Bells dmaul? They brew good stuff.
Never heard of them. Just checked their site and they don't have any distributors in Maryland. They do in DC and VA, so I'll keep an eye out for them next time I go beer shopping down that way since I live in the MD, DC suburbs.
A family friend brews his own beer. That stuff is straight up amazing.
I've been dying to try it out, but I'm just so busy lately that I don't have the time to put in the time to learn homebrewing right now.

I'd suggest their Two Hearted Ale.

Thankfully I'm beyond my college days of needing to drink regularly and having a tight budget. Now I drink less and have a less tight budget so I just drink the good stuff or don't drink at all.

Not a fan of Bells dmaul? They brew good stuff.
Last winter I picked up every stout that Bells makes (and that my local beer shop stocks) and pretty much every one of them was amazing.
I'm really into the German stuff right now. Bocks, dopplebocks, eisbocks - give me something malty, especially in the winter, and I'm a happy man.
If you want to try something amazing, track down a Samichlaus by Eggenberg. It is a 14% abv lager that pours coppery red, is very sweet, and doesn't hide its alcohol at all. It definitely isn't an every day drink, but it is perfect for special occasions.
Bed time for me but I'll post a bigger list of my favorites tomorrow.

I have to admit though... One of my cheap beer pleasures that I will catch hell for is...
Red Dog... I don't know why, but for some reason ever since the summer before my sophmore year I have kind of liked it. Maybe because it is $12 for a 30 pack.
Magic Hat is also another one that I have grown to like over this past summer...

I will say that working at a Miner League Park the past 4 years has made me grow a little loving towards Bell's and Leinie's.
Do you guys keep a canary behind home plate?
Posted 20 November 2008 - 12:20 PM
Posted 20 November 2008 - 02:48 PM
As for Bell's, their stuff is fantastic. They were the fastest growing beer brewery in Chicago about 3 or 4 years back before they ran into problems with distributors (I hear the owners a strange guy). They started selling under the name "Kalamazoo" before they got the contracts cleared up. But, yeah, they are great.
Has anyone tried He-Brew? I'm interested in getting some opinions about it.
Also, anyone know of Kronenbourg? It was one of my favorite beers when I was visiting Europe, but I can't find it at all over here. Sad Face.
Posted 20 November 2008 - 03:00 PM
Do you guys keep a canary behind home plate?
:DYeah, when the bird dies, you know it's time to GTFO of the park!
Bell's is located in Kalamazoo, MI. Chicago couldn't sell "Bell's" for a long time, so they called it "Kalamazoo" instead in order to sell it in this market. And I'm glad they did. It is mighty tasty.
I used to drink Bud Ice, Molson Ice, and Busch Light in college. I've moved on to more refined tastes:
Bud Light
Coors Light
Old Speckled Hen
Dos Equis
Hacker Pschor (sp?)
When I was in Australia, I was drinking some awesome brews that I cannot find here. But, Outback does serve James Boag's, which is nice.

Old Speckled Hen
Remember it's actually "Old Speckled Hen" We were over the quotes at a party once. I think somebody JFGI and turned up some sort of reason for them.

text: Ok so I'm not very bright because I cannot work out WHY the best lenses for the job cost so much of our hard earned dosh. The more we get into our beloved photography the more awareness we have for realising that the lens we need to produce the best images cost more than a good used car, can someone please tell me why?. Take wild bird photography, when you wish to photograph a very small wild bird such as one of the warbler family which are only a few inches in length, then it becomes very clear why you need the best. These birds are very illusive and prefer to stay out of sight. IF you can get one in your viewfinder then it looks really small, too small in fact to take the pic. Bear in mind that you have to stay a long way from the bird anyway. To get the bird to FILL THE VIEWFINDER you will need something like 800 or 1000mm in focal length, I have never met anyone in my life who has a lens like this. We could all find our photography so much more rewarding if we could afford the lenses to do the job right. Our photography it seems is a domain for only the rich who can afford these lenses and can produce the desired results. Is there a hobby out there where all are equal and can produce the same result with the same amount of expenditure??. That's my moan for the day, what's yours??.
