43 out of 48 and all but one were clerical errors (thinking I clicked one box when I clicked another - had the 55 and 56 Chevys reversed when I knew better and mixed up my Kaisers. I was born in 1951.
There were some educated guesses in there but a lot of them were good old multiple choice specials - you eliminate what you know isn't right and there it is...
ateixeira Posts: 72,587I'm bad a guessing, or just have bad luck.
On nearly every question, I got 2 out of 4. You find a logo or styling cue that stands out, and can pick 1 or 2 correctly, then the rest is basically a guess.
I missed nearly all those guesses. Oh well, I don't play the lottery and I guess it's a good thing - I'd never win!
qbrozen Posts: 17,706finally gave in and did it. 69%. Not bad for a guy born in 1973.
I got the one with the ornaments all right. The one with the Henry J and Kaiser I got all wrong, which surprised me. On several, I KNEW 2 and guessed 2 and almost always guessed wrong. Oh well.

I'll guess the 1971 Mustang 429 CJ with a Rochester Quadrajet 4bbl. Only reason that rings a bell is because I had a '71 Mustang 302 V8 in high school. I don't know if any other models came with that engine/carb combo. My ex-girlfriend's father had an original 1970 Torino Cobra 429 and he said that the Holley carb on that engine was original equipment.
Yep 70-71 on the Cougar Cobra Jet but not the Super Cobra Jet...for some odd reason they elected to use Air Injection instead.
Problem was, Ford didn't have a clean carburetor for emissions, so they used the Rochester for that short while.

I offered a very rare factory sunroof in 1939 and the first factory-built station wagon for my marque in 1940. During World War II, my factory stopped building cars and made 20mm, 37mm and 155mm artillery, while other American automakers mostly made tanks and trucks and aircraft engines and parts.

Very GOOD! Gold star!
Yes, Oldsmobile just started "waking up" around 1939 and would go on to become one of the more innovative GM brands of the postwar period as well with continuing Hydra-Matic and their rocket 88 engine, and even turbocharging later on.

If you read a certain magazine you will know this, because it's what reminded me.
I wasn't the first car to offer air conditioning, but I was the first to offer a fully integrated fresh air heater/AC system with all components either under the hood or on the dash (no evaporator in the trunk). Who am I and what year did I debut my system?
2009 BMW 335i, 2003 Corvette cnv, 2001 Jaguar XK cnv, 1985 MB 380SE (the best of the lot)
I would have guessed Pontiac in '54. Was it Nash in '54? What was the magazine tie-in from the original clue? It's still early and I haven't had caffeine. :sick:
Easy bit of trivia for me to remember about that year concerns running back Archie Griffin. Griffin was born in '54 and wore #45. He was the Heisman winner in 1974 and again in 1975!
Omarman, you are correct in saying '54. You would have gotten half credit for Pontiac because they did indeed come out with an AC system with all components contained under the hood. It was, however, not integrated with the heater and I think it still only recirculated cabin air as opposed to bringing in fresh air. The magazine reference was to Old Cars Weekly, which had an article on the Nash system in the latest issue.

motorcity6 Posts: 427Had a 50 Ford Crestliner with flathead V-8, 3 on the column w/overdrive..Body color was bronze with brown and brown vinyl roof..Great car, purchased new, some engine modifications and dual ehaust..Car was driven approx 50k mi and traded in on another Ford..
Side story, Ford dealer in Indpls, who was the original selling dealer after tradein reset the speedo to show 25k mi..Several yrs later the new owner contacted my family on a title mistake and he stated that the speedo reading at time of his accident due to a sandstorm in Ariz was 145k mi, car was totaled..
After turning 16, my first car was a 48 Chevy Fleetmaster, which was a handed down to me and I managed to blow the engine and later roll the car..It survived with a new engine and a few new body parts.
Back to the 50 Ford Crestliner, it was fast and fun..60 in o/d first and 90 in o/d second gear..and around 115 in o/d third..In essence it had 6 speeds forward..
Our run of overdrive trannies and flat head V-8s was extended to 51, 52, and 53 models with the 54 model our first automatic V-8, Fordomatic with overhead valve engine..
I grew up in a Chevy town and Fords weren't very cool.
One summer, a guy parked a 1950 Crestliner on a busy street corner with a For Sale sign in it. This would have been in around 1968.
Of course, I had to stop and look at it. It was a typical rust free So Calif car but it had it's share of scrapes and scratches etc. It was well used but overall, it was in good shape. It was priced at 200.00. It sat there for several weekends until it finally disappeared.

Hilton honors points taken away
Posted by
I had earned over 150,000 points with Hilton, enough for a free stay of multiple nights are a resort, and because I did not have activity within a 12 month period they closed my account and took away all my points. these points were honestly earned, and it is wrong that they did this. their guest assistant said there was nothing she could do. they had my correct email and mailing address and I received no notification about this. all I needed to do to keep the account active was stay for 1 night, purchase 1,000 points for $12.95, or redeem a few points. I would obviously have done this had I known. there are so many hotel programs that frequent travelers belong to and it is impossible to keep track of all the rules. and in looking over my communications from Hilton, they are not advertising their unfair restrictions. I am a platinum meeting planner at starwood, I keep track of that program, but none of the other hotel programs. I simply expect them to do the right thing. Hilton has been unfair in closing my account and taking away my honestly earned points.

Ultimately it is your responsibility to monitor your account with them. I am sure their terms were all spelled out when you signed up for their program.
saj80 on 01/20/2011:
This has become a common practice with hotel and airline reward points.
momsey on 01/20/2011:
What were the terms of the program when you signed up for it?
leet60 on 01/20/2011:
This is yet another incident of a party not reading and understanding the terms of a program. The terms and conditions clearly state:
"Members who do not earn points in any 12 consecutive month period may be removed from the Program and, if so, are subject to forfeiture of all accumulated points. To keep the HHonors account open, the Member must take one of the following actions within a 12 consecutive month period:
1. stay at a hotel within the Hilton Worldwide portfolio;
2. earn HHonors points through any third party source of HHonors point accumulation; or
3. purchase HHonors points.
jktshff1 on 01/20/2011:
"I keep track of that program, but none of the other hotel programs" that kind of says it all. Usually in Dec, I use up my points for gift or gas cards and don't worry about the rollovers. HI, HIlton, Comfort Inns, Marriot etc. Got a lot of free gas and golf stuff.
Anonymous on 01/20/2011:
I guess checking on your points occasionally would have been a good idea, but I feel for you. That's a lot of points to lose.
FrequentGuest on 01/25/2011:
I understand the point the above posters are making about reading the terms and regulations of the rewards points. I have been a GM for a Best Western for over 10 years so I am very familiar with hotel loyalty programs. The problem I have with Hilton closing the loyalty account of the OP is that all the hotels he/she stayed at paid for those points at one time. The hotels pay Hilton, Best Western, etc a certain amount per point that are given to the guests for their stays and believe me it adds up each month. So even though I understand it is in the policy I just don't think it is right.
doximom1 on 03/08/2011:
Yep, I've had two of my accounts closed in a 5 year period. I don't usually stay there, but it was the hotel of choice for relatives getting married. I can see losing the points, but closing the account is just obnoxious.
Andre on 11/10/2011:
Yes, happened the same to me. This a bad business practice. And when I re-open the account I had a couples of stay to credit to my new account and 2 months later I am back to 0 ! No one knows why.
Shannon on 03/22/2014:
We had 146,000 points taken away as well. Of course, my fault for not reading the fine print, but I still feel it's wrong for a reward program to take away points you EARNED. My husband is in the military and we aren't able to just go on vacation and use our points within 12 months. Like I said, ultimately my fault for not paying close enough attention, but I think it's crappy business.

Hilton HHonors Program & e-Rewards Scam
Posted by
I am a member of the Hilton Honors program, a program that allows you to collect points when you stay at there hotels. You are able to redeem these points for free accommodations at their hotels. Unlike Marriott or Holiday Inn if you do not add any points over a 12 month period you forfeit your Hilton points.
Hilton Honors contacted me by e-mail in early September telling me if I participated in a survey from e-Rewards I would become eligible for 500 Free Hilton points. As I did not stay at a Hilton hotel in the last 12 months and was faced with losing my points shortly, I decided to participate. I found ever since the new ownership of Hilton took over the room rates have been jacked up. Even if you have been accumulating points over the years like I have you are subject to lose them for not staying at one of their hotels in the last 12 months.
I participated in the survey and was sent a e-mail from e-Rewards notifying me I was eligible for the 500 Hilton points but had to go to their link and navigate in the site to get the points. Of course they could not have copied me on a e-mail to Hilton HHonors asking them to credit my account with 500 points. So I went to the link and was told the points would be credited within 2- 3 days.
After a week with no points I complained to Hilton and was told to e-mail a Jon Wilson at Hilton Honors and he would get back to me. A week after no response or acknowledgement I resent the e-mail to Wilson and still got no answers. So tonight I call Hilton HHonors and it was confirmed that the e-mails I had sent were indeed received. I was told this evening I should contact e-Rewards for the points because it was not there problem.. What a scam!
Since doing that survey with e-Rewards I have been getting requests daily sometimes twice daily from them to participate in other surveys that are up to 25 minutes long. They offer monetary rewards of $1.50 that you have to spend with some of there overpriced vendors on line "for a limited time only"
I believe what Hilton is done with e-Rewards is disturbing. With e-Rewards asking you to go through hoops to try to collect what they promised just shows what's behind all this. Plus you don't get the points!

I use e-rewards to get Delta miles - most of the time your points are transferred quickly, but it can take up to 10 days according to their site. Do note that e-rewards is not part of the Hilton Reward program, but a separate company that will give you points or coupons at different companies in exchange for filling out surveys.
Also, the points are not normally transferred every time you fill out a survey - you have to bank your "dollars" and redeem them at certain levels.

I have been waiting over 2 weeks
jktshff1 on 10/10/2010:
If you only use a particular service once or twice a year, signing up for the rewards is useless.
youaredumb on 04/12/2011:
most hiltons are franchised own and decide their own rates based on supply and demand
Anonomous on 10/22/2012:
The accounting system which Hilton use is, in their own words, less than optimal. It is impossible to understand how the calculations are made and customers have completely different screens than the customer service personnel. Every time I try to understand why there are errors on my statement, I am met with, in most cases, people with horrible attitudes. Today I tried to explain that two plus two equals 4 and not three and was accused of being stupid and left on hold for 25 minutes before I gave up. If anyone from Hilton has a chance to read this, please outsource your customer service to Pakistan. At least they are polite and try to help. 75% of all of the customer service people that I have spoken to have an attitude and as a diamond customer, I am told that my business is supposed to be worth a little of your attention. I don't mind saying that I am reconsidering my loyalty.

Beware: Hilton Honors Program "Fine Prints'
Posted by
Before anyone joins Hilton Honors program, BEWARE that if you do not stay with the hotel at least one night in one year, your account will be DEACTIVATED & all the points you have earned from your previous travels will be WIPED OUT. And this is done without giving prior notification/ warning to members. And if you call them to explain why (in my case, the global economic crisis that causes many companies to freeze business travel), they will still refer you to the Terms & Conditions of the membership. If you try to search it on the website, the 'terms & conditions' link is at the far end of the webpage & of such small font that one can easily miss it. They obviously do not state this 'expiry possibility' in the sales brochure when trying to recruit members. What I am frustrated is Hilton has my email & mail address...they are both active, but I was not given any warning prior, instead, the 40,000 points (which I could have redeem 1 or 2 nights) are WIPED OUT. When I inquire this with the Customer Service Officer, she replies it is the Members responsibility to know...bla bla bla. Then I don't think they should be in Customer Service. They can just play a pre-recorded conversation and repeat the same to all those in the same situation as me. I have not traveled much in the past 1+ years because of frozen travel. But, 1) Marriott still retains my points (in fact, my last stay with them was 5 years ago). 2) Hyatt Gold still sends me a monthly statement with my points intact. 3) Priority Club recently downgraded me from Ambassador to just a normal member. They sent me BOTH an email & mail to inform me. I don't get it why Hilton did not email me or inform me. I guess, if they do that, they worry I will redeem my points and they will incur costs, without thinking that I may actually stay more nights with Hilton to maintain my membership.
Of course, when the economy recovers, and I start traveling again, Hilton will be blacklisted from my list of preferred hotel. Hence, be forewarned...read the fine prints...don't be mis-leaded...and with Hilton, you need to monitor your accounts...because they do not bother to do that for you, unlike the other hotels. I strongly recommend Priority Club & Hyatt Gold...they are good with REAL customer service.

Hilton Honors Rewards Program
Posted by
I was a gold member with Hilton Honors. I had a dispute with the supervisor regarding an issue. When I would call to make a reservation the Filipino speaking Representatives we're not very helpful to understand my needs. I've had this issue many of times. As a gold member I expected better service.
Diamond members have their own dedicated phone line why couldn't Gold members get that but we have to speak with Filipino representatives that didn't understand English.
So this supervisor took the Liberty to close my account my gold Hilton Honors account which had 75 thousand points and hoping pointer $20 1000 so you do the math.
So be careful on what you tell a Hilton Honors supervisor don't raise your voice they may suspend your gold account it cost me quite a bit to become a Gold Member and they had no regard for my account or my business. I spoke with someone from the CEO's office for Hilton Honors worldwide and they were unhelpful and they can care less somewhere along the conversation she had mentioned that I could still stay to a Hilton Hotel or a Hilton affiliated property but why would I spend good money on a program that doesn't appreciate the customers so my review of the Hilton Honors Program it sucks.
Starwood and Marriott and high it takes much better care of me I hope someone reads this from the CEO's office and someone questions that b**** and why should close my account I will never stay at a Hilton Hotel again. I will drive 50 miles out of my way in order not to stay to Hilton Hotel kiss my ass Hilton CEO 75 thousand points wasn't that easy to clean.

Hilton Honors Cheated Me Out Of My Points
Posted by
CARROLLTON, TEXAS -- OK Here I go. In 2003 I had a car accident. 7 weeks later I got laid off. A few months later, I tried to redeem my points and Hilton Honors cheated me out of over 230,000 points. Over the years I was an Asset. I tried and tried to get them to reinstate my points. They said I was a Liability. You can't imagine how angry I am.
BTW. Their Honors Office is within walking distance from my house. AND, over the years I had give and used maybe 600,000 to 900,00 points for Hawaii, etc. Does anyone car. Hilton are cheaters!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, don't give up. Keep us informed if there's any further developments. This review was very informative.
oldisgood on 01/28/2011:
I think points expire after so long. Mine on Choice privileges do, but my statement always shows how many points are expiring and when. Not sure what Hilton does. Hopefully he can work something out with them. Also, I just noticed this happened in 2003. Why 7+ years to complain??

Never Again - Hilton HHonors
Posted by
Member since 11/2002 it says on my card. So what! They have a wonderful system that "gives you points" when you spend good money at their hotels and then, when you don't stay for any 13 month period "taking those points away." POOF!
No emails. No reminders. POOF!
One of my favorite parts of the program is when the Hilton hotels that you do stay at do not report your stay to the system. So, you are supposed to prove to them that you stayed. Somehow my world is not devoted to keeping track of this - that's why I tell them the member number at check in or when I book the room online. Anyhow, can you tell that I am mad.
The solution ... 1) Write this complaint and post it online. 2) Do my best never to stay at a Hilton hotel again. That shouldn't be too hard. Darn, I think that they lost a good customer. Oh well ... they don't care.

youaredumb on 04/12/2011:
yeah your right they should definitely remind you of the terms and conditions you agreed to when you signed up, which I'm sure you were aware of if you were such a loyal customer. Not a diamond member I guess?
denise on 05/09/2012:
I am mad I stayed at many hiltons but booked the reservation with an online company and did not receive the points ever they need to change their rules.
Hilton can suck it on 04/20/2013:
I've unsubscribed from the HHilton Honors programs at least five times... still getting the dumb emails.
And they stay "allow us 10 days for the changes to filter through our system." Apparently, they use an internal snail mail communication, once they get the digital request. (being facetious)
Hilton, you suck just like Paris, and never again.

Hilton Honors Guest Program - Beware!!!!
Posted by
I was a Hilton Honours silver tier member, having spent a few thousand USD with Hilton in a particular calendar year. Subsequently, I did not stay with Hilton for slightly more than a year, and when I wanted to, I discovered my account was inactive. I called customer service and they reactivated my account, but all my points were wiped out. They explained that once the account becomes inactive, all the points will be forfeited. I found that to be totally ridiculous as none of their general marketing literature tells you that the points have an expiry date and my last account statement from Hilton still states I am a silver tier member with all my points intact!
What a way to treat their clients. Will certainly not stay with them again. Very disappointing of a chain hotel like Hilton.

Anonymous on 12/18/2008:
That sucks. Points earned shouldn't be erased merely because of a year of inactivity.
Forget Hilton. Switch to Marriott. Their reward program is far better and also their window of inactivity is 24 months which they will forgo upon request. It's been my experience with the Marriott rewards program that they'll bend over backwards to make you happy. Good review!

Dear Tess08,
Same thing happened to me. Wiped out 10 years of Hilton points, without notifying me - although they have no problem emailing me about offers and opportunity to have a Hilton VISA! And then the cheek to "buy Back" what was already mine. Not happy.
Below is what they emailed me:
Please be advised that in an effort to effectively manage program costs and point liability, Hilton HHonors members are required to stay at least once within every 12 month period. In the event that there is a period of 12 months or more where stay activity is not registered to a Hilton HHonors account, the account is automatically deactivated and all accumulated points are forfeited. For future reference, please note that HHonors points will not expire as long as stay activity is recorded on your account at least once within a twelve month period. Further information about the validity of HHonors points is available in the Terms and Conditions of the program, which are listed in the HHonors Member Guide and on our web page www.hiltonhhonors.com. Although we attempt to notify all members prior to their account being deactivated, this is not always possible. Furthermore, this notification is only a gesture and under no circumstances is Hilton HHonors obliged to individually advise members each time their account is affected by a programme policy. For that reason, we encourage all members to ensure they are familiar with the programme Terms & Conditions prior to enrolling, to avoid such disappointments. Having reviewed the details of this particular case, I am happy to offer you the option to earn back your previous point balance. With every eligible nights stay you have at a Hilton HHonors affiliated property, in the next 12 month period, we will reinstate 5000 of your 'lost' points. This will of course be in addition to the normal earnings you are entitled to receive under the HHonors programme policies.

I totally agree they provide the poorest customer service and loyalty program not par with any other programs out there!
jeff on 12/29/2011:
I stayed 122 nights at one hotel, only to find that the points I accumulated were only enough to get 4 lousy nights at a similar hotel. that isn't even a 4 percent return, what a lousy program..all hype
joh on 02/29/2012:
same thing happened to me. F'd 2 times. I lost my whole account due to inactivity. They told me to reapply and my stay would count.. $2500 hotel stay. Guess what. THEY NOW SAY SINCE I BOOKED WITH HOTELS.COM I GET NOT POINTS FOR $3000 hotel bill. FU Hilton Honors

Prepaid reservation not honored / family put on street
Posted by
VIENNA, VIRGINIA -- 6 months ago, I booked a room for 2 nights at a Hilton Garden Inn. I got a good rate which had to be prepaid at the time. The only room type offered to me ( I have a screen shot of this) was 2 queen beds. The reservation was not cancellable or refundable. It was a confirmed, paid reservation.
6 months later I show up with my spouse and 2 kids, exhausted, 375 miles from home. They have no 2 queen bed room for me. The manager says they 'allowed several guests to extend their stay" They have only king rooms which they cannot rent to a family of 4 because of fire codes. They say that my room type is not guaranteed. I am out of luck, and they want me to simply leave.
I ask for two king rooms to honor my confirmed reservation. Sure, I can have two rooms I am told, but I have to pay for two rooms. I told them that was not acceptable. I ask to be accommodated at another Hilton in the area. Answer, no. They would do nothing for me despite numerous pleas. All they did was call a nearby Marriott to see if rooms were available. I asked for a refund, and they said it would have to be done from corporate office and take 3-5 days. I got a letter from the manager confirming that.
DH and I had to get back in the car, dangerously exhausted, drive around lost some more, and pay $40 more per night for a room at the Marriott. ( so I paid twice for two nights) There was no fridge or microwave, and the shuttle to the metro didn't work with our schedule, causing us even more expense.When we got home from our trip, I called Hilton customer service and was told that never should have happened. An overbooked guest is provided with a free room that they arrange the first night, the difference in price the second night, and transportation to the hotel as a minimum way of making it up to you.
I was told the manager of the hotel I stayed at would contact me to work out my problem. 4 days later I got an e-mail from them stating they would refund my original payment- something that they said they would do 11 days previously! I do not have that refund yet- promised to me 4/12.I emailed a letter to the CS person I spoke with last Thursday telling her how unhappy I was with their 'resolution' with no reply. I called her twice and emailed again- again 0 response. I did get through to another so called customer service specialist who did not resolve the issue, and told me I have no other recourse. This Hilton operates like a fly-by-night scam operation, without integrity or decency. The Hilton customer service operation is a joke.I think they all hide under their desks when the phone rings there. Updated- yes, I did receive a credit for my reservation 3 weeks after it was promised to me, only because I called and complained persistently. It was obvious they intended to keep my money. I am still seeking minimally compensation for all the additional expenses I incurred due to this incident.

Paris Hilton is on her way to jail so no one is left to run the place. Glad your getting back what you lost at least.
bill on 05/04/2007:
Very legit complaint. If you reserve, and especially if you prepay for a room, they should have that room available.

I agree with petalmom. Where's imjustasteph?

I hope you get your money refunded as well.It is appalling that Hilton would treat you this way.Let us know what happens.
Michael Ables on 05/22/2007:
I feel your pain. But I have to say I never trust a reservation.I would have called the day I left home and told the reservation clerk what time to expect me. Just to confirm your confirmation.
Hotels and airlines have been guilty of overbooking by 1 to 3 rooms a night. This is an effort to fill cancellations and no shows. I don't think it is smart business but from my experience it is common practice.
The uncommon part is when they bounced you. Every hotel I have worked at that has overbooked and got caught at least will pay for a room at a competitor close by and continue to work with you if more than 1 night.
Hotels allways know what dates are sellout dates. The smartest gm I worked for would close reservations and keep 2 rooms in his pocket. These last two rooms would be sold to walk in customers at the highest posible rate. We never got caught with our pants down and we allways made the most profit. Oops that's hotel talk.
I don't think seeking further compensation will be fruitfull but I may be wrong. Take it to the hotel gm. Then ask what the next level is and work your way to the top.
good luck
Chef Mike, PS if you get Paris' number send it to me. he he
out-of-luck on 05/31/2007:
update- I did get a check for an additional $200 from the HGI- they fed-exed it to me the day they received a letter from my congressman's general counsel on my behalf. I had also sent HGI copies of complaints I made with the Better business bureau in greater Washington, with the Fairfax county Consumer Affairs Office, and several other agencies.
It is amazing how their attitude changed when I brought in some help. It is really sad that they could not treat me and my family with minimal decency.I never heard from the CEO and President of Hilton- I wrote a letter tothem anout 4 weeks ago. So that makes me think it is Hilton in General, not just that particular slimey location.

Hilton Honors Members Beware
Posted by
I was a faithful user of Hilton Hotels for many years. So much so that I was a Territory Sales Manager and suggested the 6 salesmen under my command use Hilton Hotels whenever they could. For as long as the Hilton Honors program was in effect, I was a member. In 2005 the company I worked for suddenly went bankrupt and every employee, including myself began looking for work. This event coupled with a personal problem that prevented my traveling for a little over a year. Once I got back on my feet, I contacted all the hotels, airlines, and rental car companies I previously did business with to start anew, and informed them I was back with a new job and wanted to continue my receiving awards from the use of their products and services.
Most companies just had me begin again as though I was never gone. However, a few hotel chains, including Hilton, told me my account was discontinued and all my award points had been removed. Disturbed, I contacted each one and without any problem from every one of them, except Hilton, they returned my award points and welcomed me back. Hilton had me file a complaint and said they would get get back to me. They didn't. I called them again and was told my complaint was denied. They then told me I could file an appeal. I did, and they told me they would get back to me. They didn't. I called them again and was told my appeal was denied. They did offer me a deal however. They told me if I start using Hilton Hotels again, they would give me 5000 points for every stay. How's that for a one sided deal. I would have to stay at Hilton 40 times before I would get back what they stole from me.
Not one to be scammed, I wrote to the Chairman of their Board and as of today, 5 months later, I haven't heard a thing. So I am out almost 200,000 award points for being a faithful Hilton customer. Imagine, every award program returned my points except Hilton. That really told me how much they care about their customers. I have now talked at least 10 salesmen out of using Hilton, and every salesman I meet on the road, and everyone I meet while traveling, I badmouth Hilton. BEWARE HILTON HONORS MEMBERS.

Sparticus on 04/13/2007:
So many of these "reward" programs are made to be so difficult to actually redeem anything of value that it wastes more of your time than the rewards are usually worth. I try to stick to simple reward plans that just give me cash back in a set, defined manner. No blackouts... no problems.
heaven17 on 04/13/2007:
Sparticus is right. If I have to jump through hoops for these so'called 'rewards' (is it just me but does that term sound kind of like we're the family dog getting a treat and a pat on the head?), then I just don't bother. Make it easy or just forget it.
Anonymous on 04/13/2007:
I really don't waste my time with scams like these.
Justusryan on 04/13/2007:
Why do you even need rewarded? You stayed there, they took your money.
Noneill on 04/13/2007:
I don't understand why Hilton had to know you were out of work. I am thinking that a year of no activity is what lost the points. My husband racks up Hilton points like crazy as most airline personnel do. We don't have much trouble using them. I am surprised Hilton has taken the low road. I wonder is Paris has anything to do with it.
VoiceOfTruth on 05/04/2007:
I have to say, it's really funny to see a bunch of complaints about a *FREE* club! No one made you choose a profession that included travel. I especially love it when "members" of the free club throw their weight around simply because they are V.I.P. with a high level of points. Probably should have stated earlier that I have never worked for a Hilton, but it didn't take me long in this world to realize...that we are all just a number to large companies...& should probably be thankful for having a place to stay.
mrjb on 04/13/2008:
The exact same thing happened to me except they took away 348,000 points. I was at one time a diamond Hilton honors member and now because of the points removal, I won't use them. I have advised my new company NOT to go with Hilton either.
bross611 on 07/28/2009:
Same thing here! I stayed frequently at Hilton for over 15 years of travel and lost all the "Honor" points when I changed jobs and did not stay at a Hilton for 12 months. Incredibly I was able to use all my other award programs afterward, such as airlines and other hotels like Marriott even when not staying for more than 12 months. With other award programs the points are like money in the bank but with Hilton your account is closed and with no warning. I still cannot believe this policy - it is a real scam! If you plan to use a hotel reward program make sure you do not stay at Hilton - I certainly will never stay at a Hilton again.

Bad Customer Service For Hilton Honors Members
Posted by
My former employer paid for an advance purchase Hilton Honors reservation for me. When I left the company I suggested they inform Hilton that I would not be attending the convention consequently they should cancel the reservation.
Hilton Honors will forward confirmation of your reservation as your pending arrival date draws near. Upon receipt of the notification, I place a call to Hilton Honors to make them aware that I will not be attending. After waiting for their voicemail system to actually get you to a customer service representative, I am then forwarded to the advance purchase department.
15 minutes later I have received the entire curriculum of Hilton's training program from this woman Minura yet she fails to answer the central question-How do I get my name off the reservation and inform the hotel that I will not be attending. As the conversation is downshifting into 20 minutes I finally cease this madness. Please keep in mind that she has recited her customer service training manual repeatedly without responding to my request. She has ignored my earlier request to speak with a supervisor under the "they will tell you the same thing" rule.
Twenty minutes later she transfers me to the supervisor but he is unavailable and I go into voicemail.
It would be helpful to speak with folks leading with English as a first language. It would be helpful if they actually answered your question and not render a prescribed answer they have chosen from their customer service manual. Finally, if you are a supervisor-in a call center-perhaps you should respond to calls!
Having been a diamond member I think I need to shop for a new brand!!!

leet60 on 09/04/2010:
It sounds like a frustrating experience. The fault is not actually on the customer service representative here. I have worked in the call center industry for over a decade, for various companies. Every one has scripted responses that are required of the representative for EVERY call. The representative was simply trying to keep her job to be honest.
As for asking for a supervisor, that is hit or miss. In most call centers you have 300-500 people working with possibly 2-5 supervisors on shift. In most it is simply impossible for the representative to even get the attention of a supervisor and when they do, they are told - send the call to my voice mail.

Daphne Odjig
Canadian, b. 1919
Untitled, 1975
gouache on paper
60.8 x 47.6 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Dr. and Mrs. L.H. Kahane
Daphne Odjig was born on Manitoulin Island, Ontario, to a Potawatomi father and an English mother. She began making art seriously after World War II, when she moved to Vancouver. Untitled was painted in Manitoba, where she moved in 1963. The painting's recurring colour and fluid black "formlines" create a powerful, rhythmic image revealing Odjig's awareness of both Western artistic styles and themes of identity, family, and spirituality central to her First Nations world view. Living in Winnipeg reintroduced Odjig to the challenges facing many First Nations communities, but it also stimulated a reaffirmation of and reconnection with her Aboriginal roots. In 1974 she opened the first Native-run art gallery in Canada, the Warehouse Gallery, where she exhibited works by many of her contemporaries.

Toshiba officially Announces the 1.8-Pound Libretto W100 Ultra-Mobile Dual Screen PC
Quick Reply
Toshiba has officially announced the libretto W100, a next-gen ultra-mobile concept PC. This limited-edition 25th Anniversary device goes beyond slates and netbooks to deliver something more: a full Windows 7 experience that can be enjoyed across two multi-touch touch screens. More info:
The libretto W100 is powered by Windows 7 Home Premium and comes equipped with an Intel Pentium processor, 2GB of fast DDR3 memory and a 62GB solid state drive. The libretto W100,comes with productivity apps like Microsoft Office and video chat like Skype. Built-in connectivity features, including 802.11b/g/n4 and Bluetooth give users the flexibility to connect from any hotspot or pair the device with their favorite wireless accessories, such as a mouse, headphones and more.
With an ultra-portable weight of just 1.8 pounds, the libretto W100 is designed to deliver a rich Internet experience, multimedia playback and the freedom to multi-task?just like a standard laptop?but with the advantage of two seven-inch diagonal touch screens6 to work, watch and play on. The multi-touch touch screens can work independently or together, giving users the flexibility to decide how they want to use them. Surf the Web on one screen while checking e-mail on the other, view two documents simultaneously or view a webpage across both screens. A built-in 3D accelerometer allows the libretto W100 to rotate into portrait or landscape modes, making the device look and feel more like a book, newspaper or magazine.
Designed for portability, the libretto W100 features a compact and durable clamshell design with a brushed metallic finish. The traditional clamshell design allows the device to fold up for easier portability, while protecting the screens from breaks and scratches. Measuring a mere 4.84 inches by 7.95 inches when closed, the device fits easily into almost any bag or jacket pocket.
The libretto W100 features six virtual keyboard modes plus a virtual touchpad. The keyboards feature haptic technology, providing sensory feedback when the keys are selected, making typing fast, accurate and easy. Keyboard modes include simple, full, numeric 10-key and split thumb mode keyboard styles, providing users with options to fit their own personal style or task.
To make navigation as easy as possible, the libretto W100 includes several premium Toshiba apps that enhance the computing experience:
- Toshiba Bulletin Board gives users greater personalization of their desktops with fast access to daily activities, tasks and projects, plus the ability to drag and drop photos, videos, links, documents and application shortcuts into one place.
- Toshiba ReelTime helps users easily find files based on when they were opened with a simple visual history. With the flick of a finger, quickly scroll through automatically generated previews of documents, photos, videos and more, filter by file type or use the calendar to go back weeks or months.
- File Browser makes it easier to access file folders and applications.
Quick access to the apps and keyboards are easily accessible via on-screen icons.

American College of Education delivers affordable online degree programs for working teachers, educators and professionals who desire to expand their knowledge.
At American College of Education, we provide an exceptional online learning experience for graduate students, offering numerous programs specifically tailored to education.
American College of Education is committed to providing you with a meaningful student experience, with the help of our faculty dedicated to ensuring your success.
American College of Education offers a variety of high-quality, online graduate programs with affordable tuition and flexible payment options.
Do your students feel pressured, bullied or unsafe? Do they lack self-confidence or feel self-conscious? Can they relate to others, work cooperatively in a group, or resolve conflicts? As an educator, what can you do to manage these concerns so that you can focus on teaching and achieving results?
Take control of the classroom with this online degree program. Start your application, or check admission requirements.
To help P-12 educators effectively address students' social, emotional and behavioral issues, American College of Education has collaborated with Howard M. Knoff, Ph.D., Creator and Director of Project ACHIEVE, to offer an online Concentration in Effective Classroom Management.
Through this graduate-level concentration, educators will learn how to:
The three-course concentration is applicable to educators ranging from pre-school through high school, including classroom teachers, school administrators and counselors. The curriculum benefits educators in urban, suburban, and rural schools; in settings ranging from low-income to affluent; and in multi-national/multi-cultural environments.
The concentration courses are taken as part of the Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction.
Jessi Tymchyshyn, M.Ed. Curriculum and Instruction and M.Ed. in Educational Leadership, 2012
The M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction with a Concentration in Effective Classroom Management is designed to help P-12 educators effectively address students' social, emotional and behavioral issues. Developed in collaboration with Howard M. Knoff, Ph.D., Creator and Director of Project ACHIEVE, this program addresses research-based strategies and best practices for developing effective instructional programs and managing safe, supportive learning environments.
This course begins by discussing how school-wide Positive Behavioral Support Systems (PBSS) are needed to help students to consistently learn, master, and apply the skills needed for social, emotional, and behavioral competency and self-management in school and other settings. The six evidence-based components of a PBSS are studied along a three-tiered Response-to-Instruction and Intervention (RTI2) continuum that is further integrated into a well-established effective schools model. The PBSS, finally, is integrated into an effective school and schooling model. Educators will learn how to integrate classroom and school expectations, and how to respond to students' inappropriate behavior so that they are held accountable for that behavior. Finally, educators will learn the importance of consistency, as well as the outcomes that occur when inconsistency is present.
This course will use the Stop & Think approach to teaching social skills to children and youth from preschool through high school as an exemplar for using social skills instruction as an anchor to classroom management. The Stop & Think process teaches social skills through a cognitive-behavioral approach emphasizing modeling, roleplaying, performance feedback, and generalization. It will also demonstrate how to use the social skills pedagogy to also teach classroom and building routines, interpersonal skills, social problem solving skills, conflict prevention and resolution skills, and emotional coping skills. Particular attention will be focused on how to use social skills instruction to prevention teasing, taunting, bullying, harassment, and physical aggression; and how to apply these skills strategically when such inappropriate behavior occurs.
This course focuses on social, emotional, and/or behavioral interventions that schools need to assist challenging students who are unsuccessful in these areas at school. In focusing on these interventions, ways to translate the research that typically underlies these interventions into practical and realistic classroom-based strategies is particularly emphasized. Thus, the interventions discussed are evidence-based, teacher-friendly, and field-tested. Much of the course will then focus on the strategic (Tier 2) interventions needed by students. It will conclude by addressing the services, supports, and interventions needed at the intensive need or crisis management (Tier 3) level.
This course reviews data related to the effectiveness of educational initiatives emphasizing evidence-based instructional design models used to assess and instruct students with diverse learning needs. Special attention is given to inclusion of traditionally underrepresented learner populations, i.e.: special education, LEP, economically disadvantaged, and ethnic minorities.
This course explores the critical roles teachers play in decision-making through the perspective of multiple stakeholders. Learners engage in leadership interactions to develop problem-solving skills and the ability to become change agents for continuous school improvement.
This course prepares teachers to establish high expectations for all students and to effectively evaluate and implement theories of motivation and cognitive engagement in classroom learning. Emphasis will be placed on different theories of motivation and how classroom, school, work, and social environments shape and influence student motivation.
This course focuses on the major theories, strategies, and applications utilized in P-12 standards-driven learning environments. Participants review and apply current literature and educational research studies concerning standards-based curriculum and implementation strategies and tools.
This course develops competencies in utilizing formative and summative assessment practices and data to inform and guide curriculum development and instruction. Classroom and school-based assessment tools provide teachers with the knowledge and skills required to meet the needs of diverse learners. Embracing assessment is the first step toward "data-based" decision making in education.
This course enables students to become informed consumers of educational research and to develop skills that prepare them to carry out action research in their schools and classrooms. An emphasis is placed on providing students with knowledge that they can apply in determining whether particular research findings are relevant to their leadership and instructional practices and to distinguish between trustworthy and non-trustworthy research. Throughout the course, students identify the elements that scientifically-based research and action research share. Emphasis is placed on how research can become a vital and relevant tool for teachers and school leaders.
This course assists students in developing rigorous, appropriate curriculum and instruction. Multiculturalism, culturally relevant pedagogy, differentiated instruction, and thematic, interdisciplinary unit planning are emphasized. Using a curricular framework, students plan, evaluate, reflect on, and adapt curricula experiences that build successful learning environments for all learners including English language learners.
This course examines the use of computer technology for managing 21st century classrooms and providing differentiated instructions to 21st century learners. Learners will evaluate their own use and their school district's use of technology and develop action plans for integration and change.
The Capstone Experience is designed for candidates to demonstrate and document the impact of their knowledge and competencies gained throughout and as a result of the Curriculum and Instruction program.

Excel is an incredibly powerful tool for getting meaning out of vast amounts of data. But it also works really well for simple calculations and tracking almost any kind of information. The key for unlocking all that potential is the grid of cells. Cells can contain numbers, text or formulas. You put data in your cells and group them in rows and columns. That allows you to add up your data, sort and filter it, put it in tables, and build great-looking charts. Let's go through the basic steps to get you started.
Tip For a training course to help you create your first workbook, see Create your first Excel 2013 workbook. To learn about new features, see What's new in Excel 2013.
Excel documents are called workbooks. Each workbook has sheets, typically called spreadsheets. You can add as many sheets as you want to a workbook, or you can create new workbooks to keep your data separate.
Top of Page
Cells are referenced by their location in the row and column on the sheet, so cell A1 is in the first row of column A.
Learn more about ways to enter data manually in worksheet cells.
When you've entered numbers in your sheet, you might want to add them up. A fast way to do that is by using AutoSum.
AutoSum adds up the numbers and shows the result in the cell you selected.
Adding numbers is just one of the things you can do, but Excel can do other math too. Try some simple formulas to add, subtract, multiply or divide your numbers.
For example, enter =2+4, =4-2, =2*4, or =4/2.
You can also press Ctrl+Enter if you want the cursor to stay on the active cell.
Learn more about creating a simple formula.
To distinguish between different types of numbers, add a format, like currency, percentages, or dates.
If you don't see the number format you're looking for, click More Number Formats.
Learn more about ways to format numbers.
A simple way to access a lot of Excel's power is to put your data in a table. That lets you quickly filter or sort your data for starters.
To use the keyboard, hold down Shift while you press the arrow keys to select your data.
Learn more about filtering data in an Excel table.
Quick Analysis tools let you total your numbers quickly. Whether it's a sum, average, or count you want, Excel shows the calculation results right below or next to your numbers.
Conditional formatting or sparklines can highlight your most important data or show data trends. Use the Quick Analysis tool for a Live Preview to try it out.
For example, pick a color scale in the Formatting gallery to differentiate high, medium, and low temperatures.
Learn more about how to apply conditional formatting or analyze trends in data using sparklines.
The Quick Analysis tool recommends the right chart for your data and gives you a visual presentation in just a few clicks.
Note Excel shows different charts in this gallery, depending on what's recommended for your data.
Learn about other ways to create a chart.
If you've saved your work before, you're done.
The preview window displays the pages in black and white or in color, depending on your printer settings.
If you don't like how your pages will be printed, you can change page margins or add page breaks.
Learn more about printing a worksheet or workbook.
Go beyond the basics with your workbooks by using a function to create a formula, using slicers to filter data in an Excel table, or adding a trend or average line to a chart.

Despite a recent cost cutting move to a new location, a decades old Saratoga County organization that works to prevent drug and alcohol abuse is facing tough economic times. As YNN's Matt Hunter reports, the Prevention Council's leaders are calling on other community groups to help keep its programs running.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Since its inception 10 years ago, the Prevention Council's drug free program at Saratoga Springs High School has made great strides in the war on substance abuse.
"Their usage rates dropped almost 40 percent," executive director Heather Kisselback said. "There's still kids using so it's just a matter of what as a community is acceptable to you. To us it's zero, we don't want any kids using."
"When you have consistency over a long period of time it becomes part of the culture," Saratoga Springs School District superintendent Michael Piccirillo said.
Unfortunately for administrators, that culture could be at risk. A 10-year federal grant for the program expires in September, with a state grant for a similar class at the Shenendehowa School District running out six months later.
"All of these grants have time limits on them and you really hope you can find a way to sustain them and that's very difficult to do in this day and age," Kisselback said.
The organization's $1.5 million budget is already down $120,000 from a year ago thanks to the elimination of programs like Youth Court. By moving into a smaller space in The Mill building last month, they're tightening their belt even further.
By moving out of the former Phila Street location, the Prevention Council was able to trim $35,000 off its budget, about the cost of one staff person but still not enough to cover the price of either expiring grant.
"The better situation would be that the money came back...that there was more grants out there," Kisselback said.
With that scenario unlikely, the Prevention Council, local schools and other organizations are teaming together to look for ways and dollars to keep the programs running without the usual funding, a large task administrators say they must accomplish.
"Yes, the funding is moving away and yes, that's an issue but we're going to move forward, that's a given. There's no doubt in my mind we'll move forward," Piccirillo said.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Maggie!
Facts about Maggie
- Breed: Boxer
- Color: Brown/Chocolate - With Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Maggie's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Please let us know you saw this dog on Adopt A Pet! All animals are spayed/ neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and have current rabies vaccines. With all adoptions we offer a free vet exam to the vet of your choice in Alachua County. Please visit our website, www.hhrescue.com, or call us at 352-281-4358 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information!!
Other Pets at Helping Hands Pet Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Maggie, a Gainesville Boxer dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer for sale in Gainesville, or seeking a Boxer dog from a breeder in Gainesville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Gainesville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Gainesville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boxer breeders who help with Boxer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Gainesville paves the way for another one to be saved.

At 6am each day, we turn on the ovens and begin baking gourmet cupcakes for friends.
Scratch-baked • Real butter • Local produce • Fair trade chocolate • No GMOs or chemical preservatives
In 2007 we started Carolina Cupcakery from our kitchen at home, to address the need for real food in school classrooms. When the orders began rolling in we opened a storefront in Chesapeake Virginia. Everyone agreed it was the dumbest business idea they had ever heard, doomed to fail. Then, the Virginian-Pilot featured our venture on the front page of the business section, cupcakes became popular and we survived 2008. We consider ourselves very blessed, indeed.
On the day we opened, we discovered that children's allergies have increased 40% in last 10 years and our mission statement was realized;
