Virgin America was outside several locations around Toronto, including Yonge and Dundas just beside the Eaton Centre, with yummy red velvet cupcakes. Casie Stewart says "Keep your eyes peeled for the team cause they’ve got 2,500 cupcakes AND 20% discount coupons. Plus, to upgrade your Monday a little more, listen to Z103.5 and call-in-to-win 100% off tickets! Amazing, I know. Maybe, just maybe we can trick you into thinking it’s Friday!"
Update: You can see my photos of the international Blood and Thunder All-Star game on my post here.
"Taking advantage of visiting talent for the Blood and Thunder Magazine training camp, happening that weekend, players for this bout will be chosen from the top skaters attending the camp. This bout will showcase all-star skaters from various derby leagues, including Montreal, Michigan, San Francisco, and of course Toronto. This will be a gruelling challenge for the skaters, as competition will be high for a spot on one of the rosters. Rumour has it that top derby coaches will be present, scouting for potential players for the first ever Roller Derby World Cup – tentatively scheduled for 2011, and to be hosted in Toronto by ToRD.
Bring your lawn chairs if you’ve got them, grab some friends, and head out to the Hangar for one last dose of hits and whips before the year ends!
Doors open at 6:30 pm with the bout commencing at 7:30 pm. Tickets can be purchased in advance from our ticket outlets for $12, online for $14, or at the door for $18."
In this few month, honda brio is ready to launch to public.The smallest Honda sold in the U.S. market is the 2011 Fit subcompact, its well-reviewed and enormously versatile five-door hatchback.
But other markets demand different types of cars, and today at the Thailand Motor Expo, the company unveiled the Honda Brio prototype, a lightly disguised version of a minicar it will put into production early next year for buyers in emerging markets PRESS RELEASE:
Honda Exhibits World Premiere of Honda BRIO Prototype, Honda's New Small Vehicle Developed for Asian Markets at the 27th Thailand International Motor Expo 2010
Bangkok, Thailand, November 30, 2010 - Honda debuted the world premiere of a prototype of Honda BRIO, the new small-sized vehicle developed for Asian markets and scheduled to be introduced in Thailand and India in 2011, at the 27th Thailand International Motor Expo starting November 30, 2010 (press day: November 30, public days: December 1-12.)
Honda BRIO Prototype is being developed with Honda's advanced technologies, while further advancing Honda's "man maximum, machine minimum" concept*1. Being developed as a commuter which is easy-to-use even in urban areas, the Honda BRIO prototype adopts an easy-to-handle compact body (length 3,610mm x width 1,680mm x height 1,475 mm) while ensuring enough cabin space achieved by highly efficient packaging. With this vehicle, Honda thoroughly pursued the creation of an advanced exterior form, which is compact while asserting a strong presence.
For the mass-production model, which will be an entry-level car, for which demand is increasing in newly emerging nations, Honda will develop unique versions for Thailand and India to reflect different customer needs in those markets. Moreover, with this vehicle, Honda will leverage the resources Honda has cultivated through its motorcycle business and utilize local sourcing of parts and materials such as sheet steel.
For the Thai model that is scheduled to be introduced in March 2011, the fuel economy of more than 5liters/100km*2 will be targeted so that the vehicle will qualify as an eco-car by the Thai government, and a starting price of approximately 400,000 baht will be targeted as well. For the Indian model that is scheduled to be introduced within 2011, local customer needs for a small car will be reflected and local content will be increased to create a model that achieves a good balance between vehicle performance and price.
"Honda would like to expand the joy of mobility to more customers in Thailand, India and other Asian countries through the introduction of a new small vehicle with compact and highly efficient packaging by utilizing our own experiences cultivated by motorcycle business here in Asia," said Takanobu Ito, President and CEO of Honda Motor.

Down the road I come upon some posters plastered to newspaper boxes. Rather ironically someone has covered over the poster which states "we got balls".
This was of course related to the cross, slash and turkey posters which were plastered over the downtown core earlier this year. There was no writing on the old posters to say what they were about, besides the bowling references. Now the trashy advertising has been covered up and you can't tell what it is promoting. Because the advertisements are annoying I won't mention the name either.
Another poster was for a local superhero: Captain Euchre, from Tights and Fights dotcom. You can also check out Fantabulous Gal on the entertainment website.

Presenters Jeremy Mansfield, Sam Cowen, Darren "Whackhead" Simpson, Bongani Nxumalo, Paul Rotherham and Graeme Joffe invited 94 listeners to join them as they watched the sun rise over the spectacular new stadium. The Aveng Group, who built the stadium, sponsored the broadcast and Aveng representatives were on hand to answer any questions about Soccer City.
"As this is the venue that will host both the opening and closing ceremonies we wanted to incorporate all the countries participating in the event," said 94.7 Highveld Stereo station manager, Ravi Naidoo. "As always, we also wanted to involve our listeners so we decided to paint 32 of our listeners in the flags of the 32 nations that will be taking part.
The models arrived at 3am to be painted by students from Success International Health and Skincare Training Academy. They patiently stood for four hours as the colours, crests and emblems of the various countries came to life on their bodies.
At 07h20 the unusual body paint flag parade marched around the perimeter of the pitch, followed by a rowdy group of supporters blowing on vuvuzelas and cheering them on.
"This was just one of the ways we will be building hype around the World Cup," added Naidoo.
