Top 10
Reasons Tortilla Flat Sizzles in the Summer
It’s Time to Plan a Rockin’ Road Trip to one of
Arizona’s Most Dynamic Destinations
As the end of summer draws near and a new school
year looms on the horizon, one last minute day-trip
destination that your family can't afford to miss is
Tortilla Flat. Started as a stage coach stop in
1904, Tortilla Flat has become a unique western
town, restaurant and saloon frequented by bikers and
surfer types alike. Known for its spicy chili, ghost
town and museum, Tortilla Flat is the perfect
destination for a day-trip with the family and a fun
adventure with friends. And in spite of the soaring
temperatures, there remain ten compelling reasons to
pack the family up and visit the historic wild wild
west.(Tortilla
Flat, AZ) – With apologies to David
Letterman,
Michael Lonero, General Manager
of Tortilla Flat,
warmly offers 10 reasons you should brave the heat
and visit his unique western town, restaurant and
saloon. Tortilla Flat is an authentic
remnant of an old west town, nestled in the midst of
the Tonto National Forest, in the Superstition
Mountain Range. As well as being home for six
adventurous people, Tortilla Flat has a charm that
has surpassed time. The day-trip destination started
out as a stage coach stop in 1904, but neither fire
or flood has been able to remove this historic stop
along the
historic Apache Trail.
“It’s
a fun, family-friendly environment with a great
information filled staff,” relates Lonero. “You can
see people in flip-flops, next to cowboys, next to
bikers – all enjoying each other’s company; it’s
truly a place for everyone.” So,
without further ado, pack up the car, fire up the
motorcycles, load the kids into the Winnebago and
scream: “Road trip!” Then, get ready to belly up to
the bar in one of Tortilla Flat’s saddle barstools.
Top 10 Reasons Tortilla
Flat Sizzles in the Summer(spoken
in your best Dave voice):
10) Prickly pear ice cream (and loads of other
flavors and fudge and old fashioned candy for
the kids – or the kid in you!)
9) The coldest beer in the west!
8) Voted one of America’s most scenic routes for
a day trip, here’s your itinerary for adventure:
visit the Goldfield Ghost Town; hop on Dolly the
Steamboat for a beautiful cruise of Canyon Lake;
and then, bring your appetite and get ready for
a delicious lunch at Tortilla Flat!
7) The biggest burgers – and the HOTTEST chili
in town (the killer chili your mama warned you
about!!!)
6) Great people watching – Teddy Roosevelt one
stopped in and cowboys, bikers and movie stars
are all partial to Tortilla Flat (It’s a great
place to shoot photos – or your next movie) Most
recently, Kelly Ripa from Live with Regis
and Kelly mosied in.
5) Come witness a piece of history at our museum
– The Tortilla Flat Museum is bursting with
interesting artifacts recounting the history of
the Superstition Mountains and the famous Apache
Trail.
4) Did we mention the coldest beer in the west?
3) If you still haven’t cooled off after lunch,
go take a dip in Canyon Lake
2) 90,000 reasons to visit this summer – and
counting – You’ll see over $90,000 worth of
currency on our walls from some 67 countries
around the world
(And, drum roll please, the number one reason to
visit Tortilla Flat this summer)
1) Hey, if you have TOO much fun at Tortilla
Flat, go ahead and make it a “stay-cation.”
Camping is available at Canyon Lake or book a
room at the nearby Apache Lake Marina.
To experience Tortilla Flat, take the US 60 EAST
(Superstition Freeway), to APACHE JUNCTION;
then, take the IDAHO exit and go NORTH to STATE
ROUTE 88;Next, take a RIGHT on SR 88 and travel 18

Tidwell successfully directed in the course of her
career:

(Overland
Park, Kansas) - ej4, a company that has worked
with Fortune 500s to produce thousands of
promotional and training videos for hundreds of
companies, has released Instant Video PresenterT
- a software application that allows users to
create professional newsroom-style videos in
minutes. It is optimized to affordably produce
persuasive and informative newsroom-style videos
in record time.Instant Video Presenter was
designed to give novice video users an
affordable application to create and share
professional quality video electronically. It is
not an editing application, it is an
unprecedented video capture application, so
there is no post production process,
compression, or editing needed. When the video
is done being recorded, the file is immediately
ready to be deployed through email, internet
upload or burned to CD.
"Thousands
of talented people worldwide are trying to
create a unique space for themselves on YouTubeT
and other social networking sites. They have
great messages, but lack technical production
knowledge and the means for expensive editing
equipment," says Dan Cooper, ej4 Chief Operating
Officer "Instant Video Presenter lets them
produce a message that takes the focus off of
their video quality and direct viewers back to
the message at hand."
Instant
Video Presenter is specialized video recording
software that captures any presenter and PC
application simultaneously using "chroma-key"
and "green-screen" technology. It lets users
with no previous video experience do something
that no other desktop software can - capture a
presenter interacting with software
applications, PowerPoint presentations,
websites, or pictures in professional quality
video on one PC.
Developed
to be user-friendly, Instant Video Presenter
provides extensive automation and on-screen
wizards to let novice and experienced users
produce professional quality videos in record
time. It can be learned in less than 20 minutes
for immediate application.
Instant
Video Presenter records and compresses videos in
real time so videos can be produced and
distributed immediately. There is no editing
required. This lets novice and experienced users
alike create professional newsroom-style videos
- just like the weatherperson on TV - in
minutes.
"Instant
Video Presenter took my videos from the basement
to the penthouse," says Pete Nelson, YouTube
user, "and it was incredibly affordable. I
learned it in about 15 minutes and it looks like
they were edited by a professional."
Instant Video Presenter includes a green screen
and sells for $259.99.For more information or to

New Technology Helps Protect Sleeping Infants - And
Gives Parents Peace Of Mind.
www.snuza.com (West Hollywood, California) -- In
recent years the incidence of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
(SIDS) has been reducing, but it is still the leading cause
of death for babies in their first year of life. Despite the
overall reduction in SIDS, parents are still being cautious
by turning to under-mattress movement monitoring devices on
the market. These conventional devices have brought
some comfort to parents but just not enough. So now a
new baby movement monitoring technology is being brought to
North America by Pneo. The Snuza Halo is a small,
light, portable device that provides a unique new way to
effectively monitor a sleeping infant.

Northern Avenue Storm Drain Project.
Drivers who travel
along Northern Avenue from 47th to 63rd avenues
will experience restrictions,
starting in July for approximately 13 months,
as the city installs storm drains to reduce flooding
along Northern Avenue during heavy rain storms. A public
open house will be held on
Wednesday, July 1 from 6-7 p.m. at the
Landmark Middle School located at 5730 W. Myrtle Ave.
Residents will have the opportunity to learn more about
the project. Restrictions will include limiting traffic

turns along the construction route. Construction will
occur in an east to west direction. Business and
residential access will be maintained during the
construction. Heavy traffic is expected during the rush
hour commute. The Glendale Transportation Department
encourages drivers to plan accordingly. Message boards
have been installed to let the public know of the
restrictions. For more information, call 1-877-203-0042.
Glendale’s From The Heart Program. Nineteen
non-profit agencies that provide essential services to
Glendale’s most vulnerable children, families and
elderly residents received $224,500 in grants on June
24, 2009 from money donated through Glendale’s From The
Heart program. The money will be used to feed Glendale’s
hungry and provide home medical equipment for the frail
and elderly and emergency programs for victims of
violence and abuse. All the money was raised through
Glendale’s From The Heart program, which enables
residents and businesses to add $1 to their city utility
bills each month. Also, as a result of a new initiative
with The Ellman Companies, all money collected from
Westgate City Center’s water dance fountain is donated
to From The Heart. The program also receives money
through individual donations. The BHHS Legacy Foundation
provides a 50-cent match for every dollar donated to
From The Heart. Today’s distribution represents money
donated from calendar year 2008. Since From The
Heart began in 1997, more than $1.7 million has been
collected and distributed to non-profit agencies serving
Glendale residents.

NRA Appeals
Seventh Circuit Ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court
Fairfax, Va.
- Today, the National Rifle Association filed a petition
for certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of
NRA v.
Chicago.
The NRA strongly disagrees with yesterday's decision
issued by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, holding that the Second
Amendment does not apply to state and local governments.
"The Seventh Circuit got
it wrong. As the Supreme Court said in last year's
landmark Heller
decision, the Second
Amendment is an individual right that 'belongs to all
Americans'. Therefore, we are taking our case to the
highest court in the land," said Chris W. Cox, NRA chief
lobbyist. "The Seventh Circuit claimed it was bound by
precedent from previous decisions. However, it should
have followed the lead of the recent Ninth Circuit Court
of Appeals decision in Nordyke v.
Alameda County,
which found that those cases don't prevent the Second
Amendment from applying to the states through the due
process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment."
This Seventh Circuit opinion upholds current bans on the
possession of handguns in Chicago and Oak Park,
Illinois.
"It is wrong that the residents of Chicago and Oak Park
continue to have their Second Amendment rights denied,"
Cox concluded. "It's time for the fundamental right of
self-defense to be respected by every jurisdiction
throughout our country."
Established in 1871, the National Rifle Association is
America's oldest civil rights and sportsmen's group.
Four million members strong, NRA continues its mission
to uphold Second Amendment rights and to advocate
enforcement of existing laws against violent offenders
to reduce crime. The Association remains the nation's
leader in firearm education and training for law-abiding
gun owners, law enforcement and the military.

properties led to water leakage for over two weeks and a
whopping bill of over $2800 for the month. According to
the EPA and the American Water Works Association, the
toilet is the number one water wasting appliance in the

www.GetRichQuickFlick.com
(Los Angeles, California) - We've all heard the phrase,
"get rich or die trying" right? Now a
soon-to-be-released mockumentary movie is altering that
mantra to say "get rich or die laughing" about it.
Change Your Life! is an independent comedy about
get-rich-quick schemes directed & co-written by comedian
Adam Christing. Christing, who once got burnt himself
by a network marketing Ponzi scheme, says many Americans
are now broke or in debt because of get-rich-quick

ridiculous these scams and scammers can be.

The
American Way - READ THIS INCREDIBLE SPEECH!
Alan Korwin gave a speech to a large group on
Patriot’s Day, commemorating the shot heard ‘round the
world. Several thousand people turned out on a nice
sunny day and to my surprise, constantly interrupted
with applause. Seems he touched a nerve with this
uplifting piece about what makes America great.
"The
American Way is hard work. It is keeping the benefits of
your hard work. It is ownership of private property,
and the sanctity of a contract between people. It is the
idea that you and you alone own the fruits of your
labors. It is the idea—of paramount importance—of self
ownership. You and you alone own and are responsible for
you. It’s a tautology. The king doesn’t own you. The
state doesn’t own you. You own you. This is not a right
you demand, or get from the state, or earn. It is a
fundamental right of the fact that you exist. It is a
right that comes from your Creator, by nature. It is the
natural order of things. And it is honored here like
nowhere else—that’s why we’ve achieved so much."
