HP Partners with Mobile Photographers to Bring AirPrint Moments


Recently, the Apple iPhone became the most popular camera on the photo sharing site, Flickr. With over 45 million photos on the Web site, it shows consumers are using a mobile device for photography to take and share photos more than ever before. These memories exist on the device and are often left to sit with little thought of printing these photos to share as physical evidence of an experience.

But there are options available for printing these moments. HP continues to find ways to improve mobile printing technology in their printers and currently is the only company to offer printing directly from the Apple iPhone through AirPrint. With AirPrint and HP’s e-All-in-One printers, those photos that previously existed only on a screen can now be printed to share with those closest to you.

To promote this trend and HP’s printing capabilities, HP has partnered with notable iPhoneographers Colin Vincent, Greg Schmigel and Sion Fullana to bring together the contest, AirPrint Moments. We are asking photographers to show us their favorite AirPrint Moment. In other words, what photo taken from your mobile phone would you most like to print? Is it a child’s birthday or a family outing at the park? Maybe it’s a beautiful waterfall that reminds you of a family vacation.

Participants can submit up to three photos and submissions will be judged by our iPhoneographers, as well as by popular vote. Winners of the contest will receive a new HP Photosmart Premium e-All-in-One Printer equipped with AirPrint after the contest concludes on July 15th.

Check out the site today at: www.airprintmoments.strutta.com

Promax Bars Offers Great Taste and Energy

Promax packs its lower sugar energy bars with 18 grams of replenishing protein, all natural ingredients, 14 grams of fiber, and great tasting flavors. Promax LS contains 40% less sugar than leading regular energy bars. That’s 9 grams sugar versus 15-21 grams in leading regular energy bars. Promax LS is also the first leading protein bar naturally sweetened with stevia, a plant with leaves that are up to 45 times sweeter than sugar and zero calories.

No artificial sweeteners, preservatives, high fructose corn syrup, trans fats, maltitol, or gelatin. Gluten-free, kosher, and vegetarian. Since 1996 Promax is the fuel for doing.
WHY IT'S GOOD:
  • Only 9 grams of Sugar
  • 14 grams of Fiber
  • 18 grams of Muscle Building Protein
  • Promax Protein Blend
  • All Natural Ingredients
  • 18 Vitamins, Minerals, & Antioxidants
  • Certified kosher
  • Gluten free

What makes Promax LS bars unique?
Unlike some other lower sugar protein bars that use maltitol (a sugar alcohol that can upset your stomach), artificial sweeteners (like sucralose), and incomplete proteins from animal bi-products (like gelatin), Promax LS provides an all natural lower sugar protein bar. 

PromaxLS has 18 grams of complete, high quality protein, only 9 grams of sugar, is an excellent source of fiber, and contains stevia, an all natural non-nutritive sweetener. Promax LS is also gluten free, vegetarian, and contains no artificial sweeteners or animal bi-products.

What is stevia?

Stevia is a plant (specifically, a member of the chrysanthemum family) native to portions of northeastern Paraguay. Its leaves contain glycosides which account for its incredible sweetness, and have been used to sweeten foods and beverages for more than 200 years.

Stevia is used in PromaxLS as an all natural non-nutritive sweetener to make the bar taste great while containing only 9 grams of sugar. It is a natural alternative to artificial sweeteners like sucralose, saccharin, and aspartame.


What is soluble corn fiber?

The soluble corn fiber used in Promax LS is a natural fiber that is well tolerated, has a low glycemic response, and is used to replace sweeteners such as corn syrup or sugar, with only half of the calories.
Soluble corn fiber is also an excellent source of dietary fiber and offers the health benefit of being prebiotic. A prebiotic feeds and stimulates the growth and metabolism of good bacteria aiding digestion and supporting the body’s immune system.

Why do the ingredients matter?

PromaxLS (lower sugar bar) ingredients were selected to work in conjunction with one another. While together they elicit a low glycemic response, there are sufficient carbohydrates to help transport the proteins into the body’s cells.

The fiber complements the reduced sugar and a significant amount of protein to help produce lasting satiety. Soluble corn fiber has been shown to be well tolerated, helping to prevent gastric distress.

My Take on the Bars


I have not eaten many protein bars in the past so I cannot share my thoughts on whether these bars taste better than others, but I will say that these bars were good tasting. Not too sweet and they did provide a kick of energy. Because I have not eaten a ton of these in the past, the flavor and texture was something that I was not used to at first. Thus my first bite was a bit chalky, but then as I ate more, my mouth did get more used to the taste and I did end up liking the flavor all-together.

I was surprised at looking out on the web to the number of different flavors that are available for people here. I can see these bars being a great pick-me-up during the day, snack after work or working out.

So, all-in-all, these were good, and will definitely give you a pick-me-up. Talking to people that eat these more often, I was told that you do have to try different varieties as every person has differing tastes and some do taste better than others!

Safest Families in America

Safety is an important issue for most American families with moms and dads serving as the biggest champions for their families. To celebrate and honor those who put safety first at home, four safety-focused brands have teamed up to find the Safest Families in America. Through an online contest sponsored by Zarbee’s Children’s Cough Syrup, First Alert, Inc., Puj and Shield-Safety, families can share videos showcasing their commitment to safety for the chance to win more than $3,500 worth of safety products and be named one of the Safest Families in America.

“Safety is an incredibly important factor when it comes to good parenting,” said Kathy Scoleri, founder of SafeMama.com and a judge for the nationwide contest. “I’m excited to see how families are living safe lives and to provide educational resources to other parents who may need some extra help protecting their families.”

Other contest judges include William M. Smith, aka “Firefighter Bill,” a fire engineer and paramedic for the Roseville Fire Department in California and a key representative of www.FireFacts.org, along with safety experts from each of the sponsoring organizations. 

Video entries may be submitted from April 11 to May 15, 2011 at www.safestfamilies.com.
Entries will be judged based on appropriateness to the purpose of the contest, originality/creativity of video and video quality. All video submissions must be the original creation of the entrant and will not be returned. The three families that best exemplify safety, as determined by the contest judges, will be selected as winners and announced on or around May 24, 2011.

The grand prize packages include:
  • A lifetime supply of Zarbee’s Children’s Cough Syrup plus a $1,500 college fund grant
  • A whole-home safety prize package from First Alert that includes $1,100 in products
  • A Shield-Safety Revolutionary Care Center
  • One Puj Tub, signed by designer and Puj super star Katie, and two pairs of Puj Bootis, handmade by Katie. Winning families also will be part of Puj’s Exclusive Product Testers, getting Puj products and updates before they are officially announced.

  • Stores flat for easy and convenient storage
  • Made from a soft, non-slip, PVC- and BPA-free material
  • Fits in any standard bathroom sink
  • Conserves water, energy, and space!
  • Newborn to 6 months, up to 17 lbs.
