Pie Thickeners — FN Kitchens
by Heather Ramsdell in How-to, August 5th, 2011
There's no doubt that apple and pumpkin are among some of the most popular pie varieties, but nothing beats a fresh berry or peach pie, especially when the fruits are at their peak. Now, imagine cleaning handfuls of fresh cherries, drying them off and taking time to prepare the filling mixture. You've rolled out the crust, baked off the pie and let it cool. The vanilla ice cream is ready and you cut the first piece, only to see your filling run around the pie plate, creating a mushy crust. How can you keep your pie from running and what pie thickeners are appropriate? We asked Food Network Kitchens for their expertise.
The "juiciness" that happens when fruit cooks in a pie is most copious with fruits like berries and peaches, fruits that have a lot of juice, especially during the summer. We use thickeners to add body to these juices so that they can stay inside the pie — or at least close to it — so when we cut into it, the crust stays crisp and the whole thing is more fun to eat.
When thickening a fruit pie filling, there are several options to consider. Very often flour or cornstarch is used, but in certain instances tapioca, arrowroot and potato starch can also help achieve the desired consistency.
Tapioca starch is preferable for products that will be frozen because it will not break down when thawed. We like tapioca in blueberry, cherry or peach pies.
Arrowroot, unlike cornstarch, is not broken down by the acid in the fruit you are using so it is a good choice for fruit with a higher content of acidity such as strawberries or blackberries.
Potato starch is a great alternative because unlike other options, it does not break down, causing your pie to become watery again.
Although these options might result in a better end product, plain old flour also works just fine.
Now that you're armed with these tips, start baking the summer's fresh bounty of fruit. Try one of these pie recipes from Food Network Magazine (pictured above):

What about Prune Pie? I have a lot of prunes and always wanted to make a good old fashioned prune pie for my best customer: my beoved wife.
Lemon-lavendar pie? Oh my! I will definitely be trying this one. Anything lemon and you've caught my attention.
Why not prune pie indeed. it would be a version of raisin pie or perhaps the two could be mixed since the prunes tend to be sweeter, the raisin more tart. sounds like something I might try my version of.
A friend once served a blueberry pie that he had added diced dried apricots to for this very reason of thicking up the filling. The dried apricots absorbed the excess moisture and added a twist to the flavor. You could add dried cherries to cherry pie along the same order, although prob need to cut them in half so moisure can better penetrate.
It's not so much that the apricots soaked up the juice to thicken the pie, it's that the apricots added pectin to the filling and that's what thickened it, just like pectin thickens fruit to make jellies and jams. A grated apple will do the same thing, and workd great in blueberry pie without changing the taste.
For those of you who don't care for the "fish eye" consistency of tapioca, try grinding it (i.e. in a coffee grinder or spice grinder). After adding it to your fruit with the sugar, let it set for about 15 minutes, then bake. Voila! No fish eyes, no little lumps of transparent goo, just a nicely thickened fruit pie with enough juice to make it luscious, not dry, yet not watery, not cloudy, just good!
How much tapioca would you add to the pie?

I beg a question of the assembled forumites in an effort to guide future purchases and examine my own approach.
Is it better to
Practice fire a large quantity of a caliber that's not as well suited to self defense
Practice fire a lesser quantity of a caliber better suited to self defense
The reason I ask is that I believe shot placement trumps bore size, but even at that I wholeheartedly agree that a more powerful caliber will be a more effective tool than a less powerful caliber.
This is why I'm attracted to 9x19. You can do lots of practice with the actual cartridge/load you would be firing in a real altercation. .45 ACP is great and so is .40 S&W, but for the price of one box of .45 I can often get two boxes of 9mm.
Even if you can afford a better caliber you can always afford a larger quantity of a lesser caliber.
OTOH why should you limit yourself this way when you know there are better tools to be had for the same money? Is the inherent power of these catridges worth not getting as much practice time in? Many very knowledgeable people inform me that no handgun I own is truly adequate for self defense, and I can't really say they are wrong (or right either).
Am I right in thinking extra range time will develop better significantly better shot placement and better skills that will make up for the perceived lack of power, or is it better to have less trigger time but have a better tool?
Who's better armed? The shooter who carries 9x19 and has put 10,000 rounds down range out of that gun, or the shooter who carries .45 ACP and has put 5,000 rounds downrange out of that gun?
Or am I beating a dead horse yet again? I don't mean to debate the relative effectiveness of various calibers, I'm just curious what everyone thinks about practice time vs. a better tool.

Volunteer lock keepers wanted for Olympic Park
Looking for a hobby? Have a passion for London's waterways?
Then you're the kind of person the Canal and River Trust is looking for. The charity, which monitors the country's waterways, is appealing for east Londoners to volunteer as lock keepers.
The job description includes helping boaters through the locks and providing "a polite and friendly welcome".
An appeal last year led by actor Brian Blessed saw 250 people sign up in England. Now the charity wants to double that figure.
In east London it's looking for volunteers to be lock keeper at Old Ford Lock, next to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
London coordinator for the Canal and River Trust, Deborah Vidler, said: "Working outdoors and staying fit have been a key incentive for people, as has a sense of pride in knowing they're helping protect this 250 year old working heritage.
"It's extremely important to us that we offer volunteers something appealing where they feel like they're making a difference which this role certainly does."

It is well accepted that many real-life datasets are full of missing data. In this paper we introduce, analyze and compare several well known treatment methods for missing data handling and propose new methods based on Naive Bayesian classifier to estimate and replace missing data. We conduct extensive experiments on datasets from UCI to compare these methods. Finally we apply these models to a geriatric hospital dataset in order to assess their effectiveness on a real-life dataset.

Andrew Luck hopes to play right away
INDIANAPOLIS -- Andrew Luck is willing to learn from Peyton Manning. He just wants everyone to know he's ready to play next season, too.
The Stanford quarterback said Thursday he could coexist as Manning's teammate even though his preference would be to play immediately.
"I think every competitor wants to play, every down, every play," Luck said when asked about starting as an NFL rookie. "So, of course, who wouldn't want to start?"
Luck spent less than 24 hours in Indianapolis, going through a battery of physical tests and learning the intricacies of nutrition at the Gatorade Sports Science Institute.
His next trip to the city, for the annual scouting combine, might determine whether Luck becomes a permanent fixture.
Colts owner Jim Irsay has already said he intends to take Manning's successor with the No. 1 overall pick in April's draft, and it looks like a two-man race between Luck and Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III.
But there are big questions surrounding the Colts.
Indy has embarked on a major rebuilding project with Ryan Grigson, a first-time general manager, and Chuck Pagano, a first-time coach.
There are even more concerns about Manning, who missed the 2011 season after having his third neck surgery Sept. 8. The four-time league MVP has resumed throwing and has steadily increased his workout regimen. Sources told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen and ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter on Thursday that Manning has been medically cleared by two doctors, including Dr. Robert Watkins, who performed the most recent surgery on the Indianapolis Colts quarterback's neck, to resume his NFL career.
Irsay, who said Wednesday that he plans to meet with Manning next week, said Thursday he will wait until next month to decide whether to pay its franchise quarterback a $28 million roster bonus by March 8, redo the contract or risk losing him in free agency.
"I think every competitor wants to play, every down, every play. So, of course, who wouldn't want to start?
" -- Andrew Luck
"We haven't had any midnight conversations," Irsay said Thursday with a laugh. "Nothing has changed, and we're looking forward to talking after the Super Bowl and continuing to work toward a solution."
Manning, in an interview with ESPN's Trey Wingo on Tuesday, said he plans to continue playing football and that his recovery from spinal fusion surgery in September -- his third surgery in 19 months -- is going well despite the fact he did not play last season.
"I really feel good. I continue to make progress every day," he said. "Everything that the doctors have told me has been on point, which is encouraging to me. I just had a great day today with rehab, just got back from the facility, and that's what we continue to do. Just keep trying to get better. So far I have. That's the plan from here on out."
If Indy keeps Manning and takes Luck, it would be the first real quarterback controversy since the pre-Manning days.
Manning's father, Archie, created a buzz late last year when he told a radio show he didn't think the two could be teammates. He later said what he meant was that Luck and Peyton Manning both were good enough to start in 2012.
Luck understands.
"I think to have an opportunity to play with a guy like Peyton Manning would be great," he said.
The rebuilding Colts are hoping to replicate the model that made Manning a star.
They opened the '98 season with a new coach, a new GM, a new quarterback and Bruce Arians as quarterbacks coach. After changing coaches and GMs, the Colts hired Arians as their new offensive coordinator.

The quarterbacks' early résumés also look similar.
Manning and Luck are both second-generation quarterbacks who finished second in the Heisman balloting and were regarded as the best QBs in their draft class.
The Lucks and Mannings have family ties, too. Andrew's father, Oliver, and Manning's father were teammates in Houston for two seasons in the 1980s, and Luck has been both a student and a counselor at the Mannings' summer quarterback camp in Louisiana.
In fact, when Luck decided to go back to college for his junior season instead of turning pro, Peyton Manning was one of the people Luck called.
"It was more asking for advice on how he handled certain situations. I had already made the decision," Luck said. "He talked about, one, it's not going to get any easier. Quite the contrary, teams are going to be really gunning for you and yada, yada, yada and don't expect it to be a cakewalk and easy all the time. Then, No. 2, just how to handle certain situations maybe with the media or certain situations that rise up."
Now the Colts must decide whether to release Manning and start over, keep Manning and make the draft pick wait or let Manning and his apparent heir battle for the starting job.
"You never really replace someone like that," Luck said. "He [Manning] is such an iconic sports figure especially for this city, this area. From what I understand, he's done so many great things outside of football and in the community. I haven't given it too much thought. I've got the combine, that's what's important to me right now. The combine, the draft, the pro day before that, that's what I'm focusing on."

Interview – Part two: Mary McDonald
by allthebest • 27 Sep '07 • interview, Mary McDonald • 6 Comments
What are the greatest joys and challenges of being an entrepreneur?
I am not sure as that word connotes business and I am not sure I have ever been great at the bottom line. BUT creating my vision while being my own boss I do understand, and yes I do get paid for what I do each day. In that respect, the greatest joys are the moments your vision is coming together. You stand there and realize it is actually coming into focus. The colors are working, the patterns are dancing, the furniture seems to be flirting and the room has the FEELING for which you were hoping. You feel like you are in the right place and time in those moments.
It's then you are reminded that someone (other than your mother) has actually requested and paid for this vision inside your head. You have been given the opportunity to create and it is totally yours and it is working. I do have to say it's not always the case. There are often times before it is all coming together when you wonder what is wrong, why isn't this working, why is this so flat or boring or corny? So the day of vision realization is pretty great.
It is also nice when someone you don't know writes a fan letter or stops you on the street to say how much they loved some house they saw in a magazine. Without these moments it would not be worth it to me because of all of the design hell challenges (in one form or another this certainly must be the case in every entrepreneurs life).
Of course there are challenges of running your own show and the learning curve never ends if you want to grow. In addition there are the clients that question every decision (after they begged you to do their house), do not spend the money they say they will, employee goof ups, bad hair days, working for attorneys (a lot of overanalyzing), wondering how come people think you should be cleaning out their closet because you are designing the closet, wondering when are they going to pay their $100,000.00 fabric bill. (Why am I a bank? Are other designers a bank?) Bla Bla Bla Bla it's endless. In the end you have to laugh and just pick the next color.
What is your idea of the perfect party?
Probably a 15-person dinner party of new and old friends with a couple surprise guests. Definitely a cocktail hour in a candlelit living room with four to five small conversation groups mixing and interchanging. Casual but festive dress. Definitely hors d'oeuvres and drinks served as people get to know each other.
We are then led to a fabulously chic dining room decorated Indian style with a long low table on the floor surrounded by carpets and pillows to sit on. The table centrepiece has beautiful tureens and pedestals of fruits and flowers spilling onto the table. The atmosphere is sensual and moody with only candles. Everyone kicks their shoes off, finds a spot on the floor and gets planted with their pillow. The dinner is a multi course ethnic style meal (such as Moroccan) served throughout the night. It all ends in dessert and drinks by an outside fire.
House Beautiful October 2002
What are your favorite design books?
The Country Houses of David Adler; Vogue's' Book of Houses, Gardens, People; Parish-Hadley: Sixty Years of American Design; Albert Hadley's Drawing and the Design Process; and Interior Inspirations by Roger Banks Pye. Oh, also Great Houses of England and Wales
Who you would you most like to meet and how would you spend the day?
Hmmm big question…Ghandi is up there. I would love to ask all the big existential questions and corner him on some life advice.

The Future of Web Browsers
Last week, I attended the Mesh Conference with a few of my colleagues. Mesh is billed as Canada's Web Conference and CIRA has been a proud sponsor for two years in a row now.
Aside for the usual conference goodies (interesting swag, some valuable takeaways, interesting sessions, and great networking), there was a workshop that stood out from the rest in terms of meaning for the domain registry business. It was a presentation by Aza Raskin (@azaaza) on the future of Web-browsing at a related event called MeshU. Raskin is the Creative Lead of Firefox at Mozilla, the most popular browser in the world.
According to Raskin, the way we browse the Web is going to change dramatically in the next three to five years. Raskin spoke in terms of Web browsers becoming "you-centric." What does this mean?
To surf the Web, you login to your browser – your browser knows all of your passwords, knows your contacts, and even knows how you like to interact with those contacts (Facebook vs. email vs. Twitter, and so on). With all of this information, your browser becomes your online identity, your Sherpa, your personal shopper, and even your security advisor. Forget about remembering your passwords, your browser stores them. Looking for a new vacuum? Your browser knows what your friends purchased and will recommend it for you. Want to find a great source for local news? Your browser knows what your contacts read (and, with location-based technology, knows where you are), and will take you there. In essence, the Web now revolves around you. It's your Web.
Putting aside privacy and security issues for the time being (a topic that warrants its own post), there's something really interesting going on here. Technology is getting to be more intuitive. As that happens more and more, the Web truly becomes a public space, not a communications medium. It's a place where people interact, not just on social media platforms, but through day-to-day Web-browsing. Until very recently, we've considered the Web a medium for information exchange. No longer – it's a place where we interact with each other.
It may also signify some changes that will affect the domain name registry business. I can see the future of this radically altering the way we surf the Internet. Instead of finding http://www.cira.ca, our browser will take us to that .CA registry that hopefully all of our friends are members of. If one of our unique selling points as the registry for .CA domain names extensions is the 'Canadian-ness' of .CA, what happens to that unique selling point when the likelihood that you'll type in the website address is greatly reduced?
I look forward to this new generation of intuitive Web browsers. It will certainly enhance our online lives. At the same time, however, it is something that we, as a registry, and the privacy folks need to stay on top of.

Play the classic game of Jewels on your Android phone [Android]
Posted By Locutus On August 29, 2012 @ 12:01 AM In Android | No Comments
[1]Do you remember playing that three-jewel matching game on your old Nokia dumbphone? I certainly do, and it was actually quite fun. Now, you can get the exact same game on your Android smartphone with Jewels.
There's really not too much to Jewels. You simply have to find and tap on sets of three or more jewels. The remaining jewels will fall down around them, and produce new sets of three or more. The game is all about removing the maximum number of jewels possible using the largest sets possible.
Overall, Jewels is a fun little game for your device. It's got all of the requisite features you'd like in this style of game, and is free with ads.

Adobe Study: Is Paper Now On The Endangered Species List?
New research unveiled today by Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) reveals important new insights from U.S. managers around digital business processes and paper. According to the study, "Paper: An Endangered Species?" the majority of the managers surveyed had overwhelmingly negative attitudes toward traditional paper-based processes and cite productivity, security, attracting talent and going green as the benefits of a completely digital workflow. The research is based on interviews with 1,051 U.S. managers in small, medium and large businesses.
Below are a few stats from the report:
- 51% of respondents said that a digital workflow makes filing and managing documents easier;
- 98% of respondents noted they still use paper in their transactions involving contracts;
- More than two-thirds believe that paper-based contracts are prone to defacing;
- 76% of respondents said they are impressed by companies that have a strong digital presence;
The data points referenced above come from a study commissioned by Adobe, produced by research firm Edelman Berland and conducted as an online survey among 1,051 U.S. managers who draft, send or sign contracts and agreements at small, medium and large companies. The margin of error for this study (n=1,051) is +/- 3.1%. The survey was fielded between Wednesday, January 30, 2013 and Friday, February 8, 2013.

Ronco 8 Piece Kabob Set
By The Cook
from Pickering
The Ronco 8 Piece Kabob Accessory Set is a great addition to the Ronco Rotisserie. Our first experience was with beef,red and green peppers. The kabobs slipped off the skewers without sticking leaving almost nothing behind. Cleaning was simple! I would recommend the Kabob Set to anyone wishing to have additional skewers for their Rotisserie.

I'm gonna make it easy for you to choose a reputable charity to donate money for those affected by Hurricane Katrina. The American Red Cross has always been my best bet because they are an internationally recognized organization in existence since the American Civil War, mobilizing aid directly to those in need (not through some second party). Give what you can; $10 won't kill you and it will make you feel good the rest of the day.
Click here for donation options. Easiest thing is to donate right online. Please note that their website is a little slow because everyone is trying to donate online. Give it time and try again later if you don't make it the first time.
[Update 9/1/05] As with the tsunami last December, Amazon is also facilitating donations to the Red Cross so here's another link for you.

In the RCB team only few players are playing well.
For Example: Gayle, Kohli, Zaheer, Aravind and AB are the only players who are getting the win for RCB. What about the rest?
Middle order have to prove themselves.
Fielding is Good and bowling department should be improved.
There should be a good support for Gayle at the top. So another batsman like Dilshan is needed, Luke Pomersbach should be back.

Curtis Thacker
W. Curtis Thacker (1898-1977) was Superintendent at Monticello from 1950 to 1970.[1]
Mr. Thacker was born in Albemarle County in 1898. He attended Virginia Tech for two years before returning to Albemarle County where he worked as a manager of buildings and grounds for the Stone family at Morven from the mid-1920s until 1947. In that year he was hired by the newly established Keswick Country Club to be their first buildings and grounds manager. At the January 1950 Board of Directors' meeting, Fiske Kimball suggested the Foundation employ Mr. Thacker to oversee the maintenance of the equipment and buildings because the present gardener was unsatisfactory, and Mr. Taliaferro was away on a six-month medical leave of absence. He noted that Mr. Thacker was "a qualified carpenter, a registered plumber, a competent gardener and altogether a very intelligent and capable man." Mr. Hildreth also supported Mr. Kimball's recommendation, stating that he had known Mr. Thacker for 20 years and that he had "the reputation of being the best gardener in the county." Mr. Hildreth was authorized to offer Mr. Thacker the position of "Superintendent of the Grounds and Buildings." Mr. Thacker accepted and in the summer of 1950, he and his family moved into the Weaver's Cottage on Mulberry Row. Mr. Kimball noted of Mr. Thacker's early work at Monticello that he "is a jewel, and is keeping everything in fine shape." In 1966, Mr. Thacker was made Treasurer in addition to his position as Superintendent. He retired from Monticello in December of 1970.
As Superintendent, Thacker was responsible for the grounds, the grounds employees, and the physical properties of Monticello. He was also responsible for counting ticket sales, making deposits, and employee payroll. In addition, he initiated the packaging of seeds from the flower gardens and the smoking of hams in the parking lot barn which were offered for sale to visitors.
In addition to his work at Monticello, Mr. Thacker was involved with the Fraternal Order of Police and served as a Special Police Officer for Albemarle County in 1965. He was also active with the local Chamber of Commerce. Following his retirement, he assisted his son in the latter's local construction firm. Mr. Thacker died at the age of 78 in February 1977.

If I could suggest an edit to this article; my grandfather didn't pass away until February of 1979. Perhaps a sidenote about his contribution to help coordinate the major 1953-1954 restoration might be worthy of inclusion.
(Other members of the Thacker family also helped extensively on the Mountain. Ned Thacker (Curtis' brother) and his wife resided in the gatehouse for many years, selling tickets to the site. Curtis' wife, Elizabeth, was instrumental in turning the Gift Shop into what it is today. Curtis' son, William C. Jr., was involved in the restoration as well, writing a small informational pamphlet whch was sold in the Gift Shop. Even I had my turn as a part of the "Thacker legacy" on the Mountain, working on the Curatorial staff in the late 1980's.)

"French Fries"
Wayne Thiebaud's signature food paintings of the 1960's began with his oil on canvas study of French Fries which he followed up with a variety of desserts. Thiebaud's fast food fixation has placed him among the pre-Pop art pioneers, but this is based purely on subject matter as his painterly style marks him as more of a realist. There is no exaggeration or outlandishness to his simple style, and indeed, Thiebaud's take on pop culture evokes a nostalgia for the days gone by of a pre-Atkins kitchen.

Yaron Svoray doesn't care if the boxes (if there are any) contain precious metals or secret documents "It's about the people the treasure belongs to. Whatever we find has to make its way to the survivors of the Holocaust," he says.
'Delicate missions'
The Israeli writer and former police investigator is well experienced in what he calls "delicate missions". In the 1990s, he spent six months undercover with German neo-Nazis. A book based on his experiences, called "In Hitler's Shadow" was made into an HBO movie in 1995 ("The Infiltrator").
Since then, Svoray has dedicated himself to tracking down property stolen by the Nazis. Probably his biggest find was the recovery of 40 uncut Jewish-owned diamonds in a forest in Alsace, on the border between France and Germany.
And he is convinced there are boxes at the bottom of the lake, but many have tried their hand at solving the Stolpsee enigma. In September 1981, a dubious arms dealer told the Stasi - East German secret police - about Nazi gold in the lake and even presented an alleged treasure map. In a report, today lying in the Stasi archive in Berlin, one intelligence Lieutenant-Colonel Heilmann wrote: "On 27th September 1981, the contact person told the Main Reconnaissance Administration of the State Security Ministry, Section X, that he had obtained sketches alluding to the whereabouts of Hermann Göring's treasure. These include: 3 boxes of precious metal (450 kilogram each)."
The Stasi swings into action
The report electrified the notorious Stasi chief Erich Mielke, who immediately ordered a covert dredging operation codenamed "Autumn Wind". For six months, military divers and the pioneer unit of the Stasi guard battalion "F. E. Dzierzynski" trawled the water, but found nothing.
Their failure dismays Svoray not at all. Visibility in the lake is terrible, he points out and adds that the shallow lake, only 40 feet in depth, is full of World War II rubble and sludge. "There is no way the Stasi could have found the boxes in using dredgers and other primitive methods," says the Israeli.

Anaheim III Press Day Gallery
As track crews continued to work in the outfield of Angel Stadium in efforts to construct the final course layout for the fifth round of Monster Energy Supercross this weekend, Yoshimura Suzuki's James Stewart and CycleTrader.com/Rock River/Yamaha's Kyle Chisholm and Les Smith took the a partially-built section of the track for the media's cameras today. Anaheim III will also mark the first stop of the Toyota Triple Challenge, which is a three-race points earning contest in the 450 class that will present a brand-new 2014 Toyota Tundra to the winner, and if a rider can win all three races—which includes Anaheim III, Dallas, and New York—then they will also walk away with a fat check for $250,000.

I'm back!!! Wow! What an amazing time I had in Atlanta at the Thirty-One Gifts National Conference. I am so excited to tell you all what an amazing time I had! It was such a whirlwind of good times and good information that I needed a few days just to process it all or this post might have sounded more like it was written by a giddy teenage girl who had just come from her very first boy band concert. It has taken me a few days to take a breath, sit down and to write about it! I really needed to take a few days to reflect on everything I had learned.
I was so lucky to have my teammate, blogging friend and traveling partner Gia with me the entire time. I was scared to death about getting on an airplane and leaving my family so thank you Gia for putting up with this emotional basket case! I don't know what I would have done without your companionship and moral support!!
I finally relaxed once our plane took off and we seemed to be safely in the air. I met all sorts of fun ladies on the airplane decked out in their Thirty-One hot pink. It was easy to spot all the Thirty-One girls everywhere you went since we were all wearing pink and carrying the same bags!!!
Even the girl sitting next to me was a new consultant all excited about attending her first conference.
This is the look of pure relief after I arrived safely in Atlanta.
I was so worried about orphaning my babies!! It's crazy how differently we think about things when you are a Mom!
Since I had signed up last minute to attend the conference, I had to split my time in Atlanta between two different hotels. The first night I stayed with Gia at the Sheraton and the last two night I shared a room with two other teammates, Patty and Jessica, in the Marriott Marquis. Even though I had to pack and unpack my suitcase twice, it was so nice getting to know my teammates and experiencing two different hotels. Here is my amazing view from the Marriott Marquis. We were on the 34th floor!
The picture on the left was at 5:30am and the second was at 6:30am. Even though I was away from the babies for a few days, I got even less sleep than I would have at home! Thirty-One packed our schedules full for two solid days so we were always up early and home late. Since I am a nursing Mom, I had to get up even earlier just to pump!!
Everyday we had to wear this awesome name tag! Ever see the movie 'Office Space'? I clearly had an acceptable amount of pieces of flair on my name tag! I love that we all were given state pins to represent which state we were all from. It was so fun to see where everyone lived!!!
The first big event of the conference was the Fall 2012 product reveal. The Phillips Arena was absolutely hopping!!! So many screaming women excited to see all the new products that we were going to sell this Fall. I know I have mentioned this on the blog before but I have to say that I love the founder of Thirty-One, Cindy Monroe. We really got to see the personal side of her throughout the conference, I admire and respect her even more if that is even possible!
Here is a little video from where I was sitting inside the Phillips arena. We were all anticipating the start of the Fall 2012 product reveal and for Cindy to make her first appearance on stage. Pure craziness!!
Can you imagine changing classes with 16,000 other women?
Yeah, it was nuts as you can see. But it was worth it because I learned so much from women who have successfully grown their businesses in both sales and recruiting.
The last day of the conference consisted of more meetings inside the Phillips Arena with a formal dinner and awards ceremony in the evening.
The theme of this year's conference was 'Live it Up!' and I did just that! I learned so much about my business, the company and myself! There were also 16,000 other consultants at this event eager to learn more about growing their business with Thirty-One Gifts. I met so many amazing and successful women that I admire and look up to. I also had the pleasure of meeting Kodi and Dana who are a few blogging friends as well which was such a special treat. Both Kodi and Dana are from Missouri and our paths would have probably never crossed in real life if it weren't for Thirty-One. I was able to snap a picture with Dana, however, I think Kodi and I were so excited we unexpectedly ran into one another that we forgot!
However, here is a picture of Kodi walking across the stage accepting her promotion to Director and meeting the founder of Thirty-One, Cindy Monroe.
The Thirty-One story certainly is a successful one! Did you know that Thirty-One is the fastest growing direct sales company in 2011? It grew at a rate of 382% and is still growing!
There were also 45,000 new active consultants added from June 2011 to May 2012. When I enrolled in July 2011, my consultant number was 77283, today the consultant numbers are in the 218,000's! Not all these women are currently active, I believe there are around 90,000 active consultants right now.
As I sat waiting for our plane to take off back to Ohio, I thought about how much more relaxed I was compared to my flight to Atlanta.
I was so excited to see Jeff and my babies but so thankful for those few days to be myself again and to 'Live it Up' with my other Thirty-One sisters. This trip did more for me than just valuable business training, but it helped me to be an even better Mom mentally too. Jeff did an awesome job with the babies while I was gone and I honestly think we are all better for this experience.
Not only did I return to Cleveland with a fresh perspective on how I was going to grow my business, but I also returned with so many new products just in time for the launch of the new Fall 2012 catalog. My suitcase was full and I ended up having to check a few bags before my flight. I can't wait to share with you all of new products and prints for Fall!
If you have any interest in joining my private Facebook group for insider deals and promotions or to get a sneak peek of the Fall 2012 catalog, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Los Angeles, July 14 Singer Demi Lovato has not even crossed the age of 20, but as a judge on reality show "The X Factor", she experiences maternal feelings.
She watched all-girls group Fifth Harmony's video and got emotional.
"I just got to see Fifth Harmony's music video and I, literally when I started watching it, I started tearing up," accesshollywood.com quoted Lovato as saying.
The group was placed third during the show's second season.
"It was because I had been there from day one. It's that proud, almost parent feeling," she said.

Tuesday, December 24, 2013
The 100th anniversary of the start of the first world war will be marked by red fireworks, representing poppies, during the traditional New Year's Day display above Cromer Pier.
The annual event, which attracts up to 8,000 people into the town and is in its 15th year, will start at 5pm.
Firework committee chairman Jim Bond said: "This year's show will be as spectacular as in previous years. Premiere fireworks have been planning and building the show over the last few months and are hoping more than ever to produce effects that will light up the sea in a variety of colours, but this, as always, is all weather dependent."
Donations from spectators last year raised over £8,500, which is divided between funding the following year's display and local charities.
"Everyone's aware that budgets are still tight, but we do ask people give as generously as they can. Just a few coins can make a lot of difference to local charities and good causes – and without everyone's help we couldn't continue the annual display," Mr Bond added.
Mulled wine will be served outside the museum, with tea, coffee, and hot soup available in the church. Local cafés, pubs, shops and restaurants will also be open.
The North Norfolk Beach Runners have organised their annual One Mile Fun Run from the pier forecourt at 3pm.
It is open to all ages and abilities, with categories for under 13 year-olds, 14-16 year-olds, seniors, and even fancy dress.
Registration will take place from 2.30pm on the pier forecourt for a fee of £1.
All three town car parks will be open. Runton Road car park will be charging a fixed charge of £2 per car for all day parking from 2pm on the day. Normal car park fees will apply on all other car parks.
Cromer Pier will be closed from 8am on New Year's Day until after the display (7pm approximately). Tides Restaurant will be open from 10am – 4pm.
For the first time there will be a wheelchair viewing area at the top of the slopes outside the Hotel de Paris.

The 100th anniversary of the start of the first world war will be marked by red fireworks. Strange way to commemorate the start of a war by letting off explosions in the air. My great uncle who suffered shell shock for 40 plus years would have been over the moon I don't think.

Skirball Cultural Center presents
Immigration, Identity, and Intermarriage
March 29–September 2, 2012
Heartwarming home movies provide alternate glimpses at California Jewish life

LOS ANGELES—In its premiere installation, a new exhibition at the Skirball Cultural Center invites viewers to watch vivid moments from the lives of ordinary families and discover how Jewish home movies enrich the story of California.
Debuting at the Skirball from March 29 through September 2, Jewish Homegrown History: Immigration, Identity, and Intermarriage centers on an array of "homegrown movies" that illustrate the personal experiences of California Jews. Conceived and created by USC art collective and research initiative The Labyrinth Project, the immersive gallery experience intertwines these amateur home movies with commentary from scholars and historians. The narratives they tell add dimension and emotive power to "official" textbook history, helping to enrich, complicate, or challenge what we thought we already knew. Exhibition visitors may also view documentaries on Jews in the West and use computer terminals to add their family stories to the Jewish Homegrown History online archive.
Using a touch-screen interface, exhibition visitors select one of ten five- to ten-minute narratives. These vibrant films are projected on three giant screens and envelop viewers in sound and light. Exploring the dynamic interplay between personal memory and collective history, the films document diverse immigration trajectories and the identity issues they raise, and help viewers consider the complex negotiation of rival allegiances to new locations and homelands left behind. The films also address the relationships Jews forged with other ethnic communities in California. Unlike many Jewish cultural histories, which begin in the East with Ellis Island, this exhibition focuses on the Jewish experience in the West. The exhibition's key themes—immigration, identity, and intermarriage—are woven throughout the narratives.

Among the viewing options are the stories of the Chaikins of Boyle Heights, whose children grew up alongside Latino and Japanese neighbors; Harvey and Arlene Feingold from Winnipeg and Boyle Heights, who met on a Zionist farm in New Jersey that trained them for life on a kibbutz; and Harriet and Fred Rochlin, a writer and an architect who met at Berkeley and collaborated on an illustrated history of pioneer Jews of the West. Visitors may also choose the story of Bob Gregory, whose career as a party planner seemed to fulfill the image of California life as an endless vacation; or that of the Sauls, whose marriage blended Ashkenazi and Sephardic/Berber traditions and through whom viewers experience the heart-wrenching plight of the Moroccan Jews. Alternately, visitors may choose to focus on "Murrieta Hot Springs," which depicts how this distinctly Californian resort differed from better-known Catskills vacation resorts in the East.

"The Skirball welcomes the opportunity to try on new lenses with new insights on American Jewish life," remarks Robert Kirschner, Skirball Museum Director. "It's fascinating to see how these home movies capture the traditions, values, and aspirations of California Jews, and the mutually enriching encounters with their neighbors."
He adds, "We applaud USC's Labyrinth Project for collecting and bringing to light these family artifacts as a way of preserving Jewish heritage and history. Recordings of private moments, often unappreciated as historical witnesses, are in fact irreplaceable evidence of community life from generation to generation—who we are and how we lived."
An exciting aspect of Jewish Homegrown History is the opportunity for visitors to add their own family stories to the ever-growing, interactive online archive of Jewish cultural history maintained by The Labyrinth Project. As they enter information at computer stations, visitors begin to see how their histories connect to scholarship, other peoples' backgrounds, historical documents, vintage photographs, and more. With the user-friendly interface, visitors are able to upload images from home to http://jewishhomegrownhistory.com
"In many ways, home movies are the history of our times," says Marsha Kinder, Director of The Labyrinth Project. "Integrating the personal stories of ordinary people with the public record only deepens our understanding of the history of American Jewry. When gallery visitors enter information about their origins into the online archive and upload their images, they become part of that history-making process. They emerge as co-authors. We welcome Angelenos to participate and become a part of history."

text: Anon334, I have the same exact concerns as you. Back in the 80's I also had car window tint that started to breakdown and it took me forever to figure out that it could be removed. If you find out the chemical components of whatever it was that was left floating around in the car, let me know. I'm very curious (and concerned) too.
