thoughts on the pampered chef
My sister lovvvves this stuff
mmmmm...im not sure.any thoughts?
The fact that they can't tell a saute from a skillet is an indication... As is the (illegal) lack of disclosure of country of origin.
This is on the Tupperware or Amway model, right?
Their stuff I've seen at fairground displays looks nice from a distance, but felt light and under-engineered, and was no value.
heavy on gadgets and unitaskers.
High priced, but decent quality on everything else.
Their silicon spatulas are really, really good.
re: iluvcookies
<I've never really seen the need for their products.>
Maybe we are not "pampered"
re: Chemicalkinetics
LOL! No, perhaps we are missing out.
If they come out with a pan that can also give me a pedicure, then I'll give them a closer look. Until then, I will stick with the Calphalon.
re: kaleokahu
HA! Yes, that would work :)
re: iluvcookies
Calphalon makes great stuffs. I think the idea of a "pampered chef" is funny enough. Think about it. Do I really want to join a dojo which read "Pampered Karate". It just sounds like a bad idea. A music class? "Pampered Piano lessons"?
P.S.: What would Coco do? Would he want to be pampered? For Team Coco!
re: Chemicalkinetics
I agree, the name is quite strange.
I think Coco would let Andy handle this one... perhaps come out on stage wearing a diaper and a chef's hat.
re: iluvcookies
Not Triumph the dog?
re: Chemicalkinetics
There is another "bear" character that may be more well suited for the "pamper" part, but that's a topic for another forum!
A few CHOWHOUND posters like the pampered chef cookware, but most do not. I would about a 3:7 ratio or 2:8 ratio between those who like pampered chef to those who dislike. I cannot comment on their general cookware, but I think its kitchen knives are very overly priced. Since your sister presumably has many of its products, maybe you can try them to see.
The only people I know who buy pampered chef products are my housewife friends who seem to all have some sort of party-marketed product that they sell and, therefore, seem to be attending a different product party every week. Most of the time, they buy something because they feel obligated. They seem to be about 50/50 between loving what they've purchased and regretting that they bought something they is easily found for less money and of better quality.
re: Chemicalkinetics
It reminds me of Cutco marketing and quality. Guilt friends and family members into buying something they don't understand of inferior quality at a very high end premium price. I have seen a few Pampered Chef products which were respectable though unlike Cutco.
re: Sid Post
For what they are Cutco are ok products, just priced at about four times what they are worth. I have a Cutco spreading knife with a serrated edge on one side of the rounded tip and a serrated knife that is basically an oversized steak knife. I rarely use them, but they are not that bad. They cut as well as most serrated knives, which is horrible compared with my old French carbon steel knives but pretty good compared with the junk in most people 's (NOT people on this board!) kitchens.
re: pine time
This is why I don't attend. I am invited all the time and usually by folks who do not invite me to socialize otherwise.
re: pine time
This is why I have no friends, to avoid these parties.
Well, that's what I tell myself, anyway.
re: DuffyH
It's my understanding that if one wants friends, showering occasionally helps some, hahahahaha. Your post was very funny.
re: DuffyH
Hey friend, I think we need to re-think this. Maybe we don't need to be invited to these parties, maybe we need to invent the right KIND of parties! :)
re: breadchick
You're like Butch Cassidy, good at thinking things up. Will there be food? Of course there'll be food. What am I thinking?
What else?
re: DuffyH
Well, from what I hear, the Chow synchronized swimmers have been feeling neglected lately. Perhaps this is their moment. Well, considering the Olympics and all that.
re: breadchick
Yes, synchronized swimming would be lovely, such pretty costumes, AND they shave their legs, too. But it's so hard to hold your breath under the ice.
Perhaps water polo? The horses might fare better in the cold. They've still got hairy legs.
re: DuffyH
Now really. Putin has a special heated lake. This is the most expensive event ever!!
re: breadchick
Well, ok, then. That's wonderful. I'm sure he'll let us use it.
As the great Miss Lonnie Anderson once said "There are two kinds of people. Beach people and pool people." I'm a pool person, and could watch synchronized swimming all damn day. Bring on the ChowHounds in the ruffled swim caps!
We'll have to hide the Chobani, of course. Assuming we can sneak it past customs. Or just bring Yoplait. I'm really not a fan of Greek Yogurt anyway. Don't much like their Gyros, either. Baklava doesn't suck. Best keep it away from the swimmers, they don't need the calories.
PC has really good baking stuff, they must have something perfect for the baklava. Maybe a travel thing, too, for the plane ride.
I sat through a party and didn't buy anything though I was interested in the chop and mixer (or something like that). My sister bought me the mix and masher thinking that's what I wanted and gave me the corn butterer and the corn cob holders she received for free as part of her hostess thing.
Hate the mix and masher (not strong enough to mash white potatoes) and the cob holders are still in the bag they came in. LOVE the butter holder to use on corn, though, and I'd buy it if mine somehow broke or disappeared.
re: EWSflash
This. The first party I attended, the demonstrator gives the spiel explaining that PC was started to get fine kitchen products to people who like to cook. I thought, 'Oh so PC started in what, 1935?'. I was shocked to find out it's a relatively new company!! WTF? I mean, kitchen supplies are EVERYWHERE.
Not sure about the connection between sauté, skillet, Tupperware or Amway but regarding Pampered Chef, my wife has picked up a few useful items at parties her friends have held. Nothing much, but items she wanted or needed. Probably the most used item is the can opener that does not cut the lid. It resembles the old Swing-A-Way in appearance. Very nice. Very solid. And Made in China. Certainly better than the hockey puck from Kuhn Rikon that also does not cut the lid; a most awkward design at a premium price. We also have a couple of lettuce knives (plastic so the lettuce does not go brown), and a few other pieces. Nothing of note.
They seem to have some pretty good items. You just have to know what you want.
I agree with most of what has been said already.
To sum it up, you can find better products at a lower price elsewhere.
re: mikie
Hi, mikie:
In a way, I hope you *don't* have an experience-based answer to this, but is it possible that the explanation for PC's popularity is that it's better-looking, or looks-better-engineered than other "party pressure" scheme-y stuff?
My reaction to it at my state fair last year was something like: "If someone was going to take such trouble to make this *look* like quality cookware, why wouldn't they just *make* quality cookware?"
re: kaleokahu
Hi Kaleo,
The only thing that actually got used that I recall, was the garlic press. It looks good, but you can't get the thing clean to save yourself and it was cast aluminum with a coat of silver paint. You guessed it, the paint started pealing off in rather short order. I couldn't wait to replace it.
re: mikie
That's funny about the garlic press. We got one of those exact garlic presses for our wedding 12 years ago, and it is still going strong. In fact, it is probably the only kitchen gadget (out of dozens) that is still going from 2000. A little of the paint (enamel, whatever) flaked away around the presser holes early on, but none since. And I just open it up, and allow water to run over the presser face before I drop it into the sink, and the little mashed plug of remaining garlic falls right out.
We received several PC items as wedding presents (all of the kitchen gadget variety), and I felt that they were of average quality. They held up about as well (no better or worse) than any comparable item off the big wall of gadgets at bed bath and beyond or williams sonoma. I have not tried any of their more expensive items or cookware however.
re: mikie
I have the PC garlic press and its held up for almost 15 years (bought it at a friend's PC party right after we got married). No peeling paint, and I just run it through the dishwasher to clean it with no problems. I also had a friend give me a PC apple slicer which is nice, but not something I would have ever bought myself. It's a nice heavy metal slicer, and isn't thin or flimsy like some of the other slicers I've seen.
My wife really likes her PC Santoku but personally I really dislike it. It's too heavy and not well balanced, but worst of all it will not hold an edge longer than 1-2 days cooking.
Cooking in a restaurant give one a real appreciation for good cutlery.
I did the obligatory buy from a friends party, a synthetic cutting board for the specific purpose of working with raw meats because it said it was dishwasher safe. It warped on its first ride. They exchanged it, but it sure made me wary.
We also got a pizza stone and stone half sheet that work as advertised.
Overall their stuff is over priced and you take your chances with quality.
Get thy sister to a Chef's Supply for lasting value. I don't like to buy something more than once.
If one cooks a lot one soon spots weaknesses in cooking tools.
For the occasional, or obligated cook it's probably fine; what the heck, if it makes her happy and she enjoys the social life of it, who am I to judge? But overall I would not recommend Pampered Chef.
I have A LOT of friends who have invited me to these things over the years. I really like my whisks and a large metal spatula thing (it has kind of sharp edges and a black handle). I also have a couple knives I bought when we were just starting to think about nice knives. We got a chef's knife, a paring knife and a filet knife. While I don't love them, I am glad I bought them. I think of them as my "starter" knives - I think I bought all three for not much more than the one Shun knife I own, and that's just a paring knife! I also like the plasic scraper thing and those things that hold bags shut. Probably overpriced, but I don't think about it too much and just look at it as the cost of socializing sometimes. I won't buy the unitaskers, though.
re: SAHCook
That spatula is awesome. I got mine at a thrift shop, and it was even overpriced there...but worth it, it's a tank.
I remember when PC first came around back in the 80's. The world was a much bigger place then and they did have some things that were unique or otherwise unavailable to the home cook at the time, think pre-internet, pre-FoodNetwork, and when restaurant supply stores didn't carry much in the smallwares category nevermind anything innovative or unique. Theirs was the first silicone spatula and bamboo utensils I was ever aware of. I am still using both, plus what I think was one of the original Zyliss import products, the bash and chop thing, all bought circa 1989 from PC. They have always been overpriced, but now that everything they sell is available at the restaurant supply or via internet for less money, the whole home party element is even more annoying and pointless.
re: splatgirl
I still have that spring-loaded chopper, too -- and there is truly nothing better when you've got a bunch of onions and garlic to chop, or you're knee-deep in the holiday baking and need MORE chopped nuts.
re: sunshine842
I like that little chopper too. I have tried other brands but they don't work as well. I have a little fine mesh skimmer I like too. Oh and the little brown scrapers. I do think it is way over priced.
I always thought Tupperware to be overpriced but 35 years later, it is still here and I have a certain attachment to it, especially the old pastels.
re: wekick
oh, yes -- I forgot about the little brown scrapers -- I keep one right by the sink and use it constantly. You can get them anywhere, but the PC ones are particularly durable.
I have 3 things that I like from PC, and no interest in the rest:
Their can opener, which replaced my frankly dangerous cheapo piece of garbage. The stoneware barpan, and the one unitasker in my kitchen other than the fire extinguisher: the pineapple slicer. I love the stupid thing!
I buy pineapples all the time, but procrastinate cutting them up until they go bad. Not anymore! The cutter is just fun to use. :)
i have a friend who sells this and another who sells products by DeMarle. I like the spatulas from PC -- excellent quality workhorses -- and the stoneware bar pans.
I avoid "parties" like the plague.
My sister does this sort of sales (different company) and often partners with Pampered Chef people at events, so I have seen some of her PC stuff.
She has a lot of non-stick cookware and has a PC product which protects the sookware from scratches during storage. It is made from a flexible material and when flat looks like a squared flower. It is placed between the pots/pans and conforms to their shape. Seems to work well!
She gave me some green plastic screw style corn-on-the-cob holders. They are not at all attractive, but they work really well. I really like that I can attach them prior to cooking! I was very pleasantly surprised how well these worked.
I have no idea what the price range is on the PC products!
the biggest thing is that you can find just about everything for less somewhere else.
I haven't been to a PC party in over a decade, but I went, bought some small thing out of fealty to the hostess, and made mental notes to shop for the other stuff somewhere else. I do like the silicon spatulas, though -- mine are 15 years old and still aren't stained or melted (despite my best efforts -- they see heavy use in my kitchen, and they've taken it all in stride) No regrets there.
My step-mom has a friend that sells it, so I have been given quite a bit as gifts. Most of the stuff I've gotten is nice, meaning I use it, it functions as intended, and has held up well. My stepmom cooks a lot, so she knows that most unitaskers aren't welcome in our kitchens, which means I haven't gotten many of the "gadgety" type things they sell.
I own and use a ton of their silicone spatulas, many of their bamboo utensils, an offset spatula, various disher/spring-loaded scoops, a little double-sided rolling pin type device... One of the items I have that I use often is their measuring cup that has a plunger on one side of it, which is great for things like peanut butter - you shove the plunger cup in and easily scrape the stuff right into the bowl. The other side can be used for liquids, but the cup isn't clear, so it's not perfect. (See photo.) But I get a TON of use out of it. She actually bought it for me because I'm a huge fan of Alton Brown and he used a similar cup on Good Eats.
So, my take on it: they have some good items, and they have some crap. If you know what you're doing in the kitchen, you can weed out what will and won't be useful. I can't speak to the price, as I haven't bought anything from them myself, but from other posters' suggestions it sounds like the prices aren't reasonable.
re: Ditdah
Ditdah, I have one of those measuring items too and I use it to dispense bath salts and bubble liquid for the tubs at my BnB. I have never used it in the kitchen. I can't recall who gifted me the gadget in the first place but it always reminded me of a hospital item.
re: Ditdah
Good gawd, Ditdah, that's the same thing I bought from a colleague's wife as an obligatory purchase. But I actually do use it a lot! In general, I find the stuff adequate, but overpriced.
Also bought the two-sided magnet with the conversion charts. It does attach go the fridge :)
re: Ditdah
Oh yea! I have that measuring cup, too. It comes in handy for goopy things.
I went to one Pampered Chef party. The hostess passed one of those silicon spatulas around, and it looked great. BUT--after *everyone* had handled it, she said, "Oh, I need that" and proceeded to use it to mix up the chicken salad she was making.
I suddenly developed a major headache and had to leave.
SIL used to do PC demos & niece has had a few "shows". They pretty much know I'm NOT gonna buy anything... nothing ever WOWs me... for their prices. Did buy a pizza stone... split right down middle... MY fault, no complaints about product. When SIL stopped dooing the demos, had a closet FULL of gadgets that she accumulated. She gave me one of those apple peeler/corers... can totally zest a whole lemon... but mainly gadget sits on a shelf. She SWEARS by the chopper thing, gave me one... I end up just grabbing a sharp knife. She said their pots/pans were pretty good... but like all non-stick, eventually got a bit tired. I see PC stuff at yard sales... often looks like NEVER even used!?!
I love the stackable cooling racks I purchased from them years ago - they still sell them. They were expensive but worth the price.
My mother gave me a heavy set of PC stoneware that includes a bundt pan, pizza stone, large round baking dish and large bowl. All of them are meant to go in the oven. I have no idea what she paid but as things I received free of charge they are all great ;) the bundt pan makes amazing pound cake, I use it the most often out of everything. The bowl and pizza stone I use for multiple things, and not necessarily baking. PC strikes me as very gimmicky and I would not be interested in hosting a party but I wouldn't consider their products totally useless either.
My PC wide microplane is used regularly. It stands up which makes grating even easier. And those little brown scraper thingers are great!
In general, PC makes nice stuff. But, you'll pay for it. They are about 2 or 3 times more expensive than "off the shelf" equivalents.
I think most of it is overpriced, but I do have three items and I love them all:
1. Pizza cutter. It's super sharp and the wheel is big. I actually found it competitively priced.
2. Pizza stone. I bought it before they were available everywhere. I have others, but I prefer the PC one still.
3. This really skinny scraper spatula that is so useful. It fits into narrow-mouthed bottles that nothing else fits.
Main benefit to me of the PC line is the warranty. If anything breaks, I just call up the rep, and my item is replaced. I have had a bamboo platter, a scoop and the lid of a prep bowl replaced in 10 yrs. Favorite items are the can opener, stacking cooling racks (I have 6!), stoneware bar pans, various scoops, the brown pan-scraper thingy, and bamboo cooking spoons. Oh, and the glass prep bowls with lids, and the measurements marked on the sides - use every day! Purchased thoughtfully, these items are not any more expensive than multiple purchases of a lesser-quality line.
I have that plunger-style measuring cup, too, but rarely use. As for the spring-loaded chopper? I have used twice in 5 years.
re: KarenDW
Hmmm, didn't know about that warranty. The rep from whom I bought a now broken (but amazingly good) garlic press is long gone...think I can just track down customer service from the company?
re: pine time
Yep :)
It's the Tupperware party all over again. I have a couple things I bought when a friend was sponsoring a party as a fundraiser, and a couple my MIL gave me (that I'm sure she bought only because she got sucked into attending someones party, and figured she may as well get her Christmas shopping done...)
Quality and warranty are pretty good, and I actually like and use all the PC things I have. But still on the expensive side for what you get, and I remember thinking shipping also seemed pricey (seemed to me if you ordered something at a party they should either have it, or ship it to you or at least the party host for free if they don't.) So it's fine, but unless there was something specific I really wanted I wouldn't seek the stuff out over going to a good kitchen store.
I live in one of those neighborhoods where I'm invited to one party or the other every other week. Before I just started telling people not to invite me anymore (I am sure they still talk about me for that), I attended a couple a year. Definitely aimed at the less than serious cook. Lots of gadgets, but many are clever and good quality. I have the the 8 cup pyrex-like measuring cup, silicon spatulas, the stacking bakers racks, the baking stone (has outlasted all others I've had) and the old bread knife was awesome. Too bad they replaced it with an expensive one - the old one was about $18 and I am still using it. The new one was like $75. I wouldn't pay that for PC stuff. But all the stuff I bought has lasted a long time.
I just hate attending those parties. Ugh.
re: jeanmarieok
I was totally comfortable with attending 2-3 parties/year without purchasing anything. Sometimes the host(ess) just needs to have enough bodies so that the Consultant/sales rep can do the presentation. But then I started working evenings, myself, so ended up declining more invitations than not.
It's important, I think, not to feel obligated to purchase anything at these events.
My sister sells this stuff. She has a kitchen full of her own because of sales. Decent stuff. Very very solid, in my opinion... But I've never touched a piece of All-Clad brand cookware to compare either, so my ignorance should be accounted for. I'd get some Pampered Chef of my own if at a lower price than they are first sold at. The mystery origin or made-in-China is a turn off though. Again though, they seem pretty bomb-proof.
No complaints from my sister. And she's a fellow cast iron freak like me too, meaning that us cast iron nuts need something that's built like a tank in other cookware.
Some top notch products are sold solely by "sales people." FilterQueen and Tupperware and Avon come to mind. All very excellent products, no matter what country they are made in. I only assume that Pampered Chef belongs in these high quality ranks also. But maybe my ignorance is bliss :)
I recently got the round covered baker, and am loving it for quick microwave meals. Also got the medium bar pan and small mix n scraper, which I've been loving, too! I think there are several overpriced PC gadgets but they design it that way, so we are motivated to become a host or consultant (I've done neither). I have no interest in the cookware sets b/c I already have a good collection of Demeyere, Viking, Cuisinart, LeCreuset, and Lodge. I think there is definitely better quality and better priced cookware out there. But the Pampered Chef stoneware is awesome and I have my eyes on the deep covered baker!

Drew: "My wedding was perfect"
The actress is very happy about how her wedding day turned out
So what did Drew Barrymore make of her much-anticipated June 2 wedding?
"The day was perfect," the blushing bride told People (exclusive publishers of her wedding pictures) the day after tying the knot with art consultant Will Kopelman. "Everyone we love and care about was there. It was as fun and meaningful as we ever could have hoped."
For the ceremony at her $5.7 million Montecito, California, home, the expectant actress and Kopelman "just wanted a backyard wedding", says event planner Yifat Oren.
Oren and co-event planner Stefanie Cove delivered a "vintage romantic"-themed fete, creating what Oren called an "ethereal" feel for the wedding party and guests Reese Witherspoon, Cameron Diaz, Jimmy Fallon and Busy Philipps.
The decorations for the traditional Jewish ceremony included vintage lace, pink flowers and green garlands.
And that dress? A flower-embroidered Chanel gown designed by Karl Lagerfeld himself. Perfect indeed!

Shop featured items from the pages of BAZAAR, plus more of the season's best fashion.
Tome launched just over two years ago and has quickly garnered a loyal following of customers who subscribe to its brand of separates with luxury details that turn the idea of basics on its head. Sitting at the helm are Aussie expats Ramon Martin and Ryan Lobo the former design director for Derek Lam and a current stylist and former luxury buyer respectively who each bring multiple facets of fashion know-how to the mix. BAZAAR spoke with the savvy pair about creating a business together and who the Tome woman never girl is.
Harper's Bazaar: Do you consider Tome an Aussie brand?
Ramon Martin: We are an NYC label. We are both based here and proudly manufacture everything in Manhattan. We both have roots in Australia and are stocked there but really our focus is the USA.
HB: Ryan, how did your work as a stylist prepare you for having your own brand?
Ryan Lobo: I actually think years in retail and as a buyer were better preparation for Tome. Styling is fantasyland and it's all about the right image. Retail and buying deals directly with consumers, so you get to know about women's wants, needs and desires.
HB: How do you two work together? What's the process?
RL: It's very organic. Ramon researches with books, while I find inspiration in museums and galleries, film or online. We are constantly talking about our findings so by the time we come together and Ramon sketches them out it's definitely a fusion of ideas.
HB: How would you describe the Tome ethos?
RL: Tome is about clothing that satisfies both want and need through garments that are pragmatic and serve a practical purpose. Philosophically, we are concerned with uncomplicated, functional dressing that is stripped of superfluous meanings.
HB: Who is the Tome girl?
RM: She's definitely a woman we speak of her by referencing the women we know. In a very practical way, we try to make sure the clothing that we make is relevant to them. Each friend, each colleague, represents so many others that have the same needs, habits and desires when it comes to fashion.
HB: What brands do you look up to in terms of both business and aesthetic?
RL: The Row, Victoria Beckham, Dries Van Noten, Stella McCartney, Prada, Lanvin and 3.1 Phillip Lim are all favorites.
HB: What was your inspiration for Fall 2013 season?
RL: For Fall 2013 we were inspired by the legendary American painter Georgia O'Keeffethe woman and her art. It was her self-chosen isolation in New Mexico that really touched us. Her obsession with the clear, open blue sky and the barren brown desert sands, as well as her depiction of skulls and flowers, were an influence on us. In the clothing we literally tried to depict the folds of flower and bone, whilst also picking up on her colour palette of barely-there whites and intense reds and blues. This collection is very much about interesting textures layered upon each othernatural shearling against techy taffeta, suede against silk, cotton with brocade. It is the subtle contrast and harmony found in O'Keeffe's work that truly influenced this collection, not to mention her own personal style!
HB: What have been your biggest challenges and what do you consider your largest success so far?
RM: The challenge goes hand-in-hand with the success. We have no outside investment in the brand. It's just the two of us, and yet in just over two years we have never made a loss. We are sold globally across many territories, and the women who buy and wear Tome love it! Of this we couldn't be more proud. It's such a validation of what we do.
HB: What are your goals for Tome?
RM: Growth!

Chuck Hagel's two-year career in 20 photos
Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel resigned on Monday following nearly two years in office. See photos.
The White House is the official residence and principal workplace of the President of the United States. Located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C., it was built between 1792 and 1800 of white-painted Aquia sandstone in the late Georgian style and has been the executive residence of every U.S. President since John Adams. When Thomas Jefferson moved into the home in 1801, he (with architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe) expanded the building outward, creating two colonnades which were meant to conceal stables and storage.

WASHINGTON — The Secret Service has apprehended a man who jumped over the White House fence and kicked and punched two dogs that were released on him. This latest incident comes about a month after a previous White House fence jumper sprinted across the lawn, past armed uniformed agents and entered the mansion. The fallout from that September incident and other Secret Service breaches in security for the president led Julia Pierson to step down as director of the agency.
Obama, laughing, replied: "There's an example of a brother just embarrassing me for no reason."

The Secret Service has confirmed that the perimeter of the White House was adorably breached Thursday evening -- by the tiniest interloper in presidential history. A toddler, name unknown, eluded his parents, squeezed through a fence and arrived in a secure area of the White House lawn at around 8pm ET before being rounded up by Secret Service agents.

Barack Obama can add this to his list of firsts: Being the first U.S. president to have himself scanned and 3D printed. Obama's 3D-printed bust and mold of his face were on display June 18 at the first-ever White House Maker Faire, a celebration of students and entrepreneurs who are using technology to create new products and businesses, according to the Smithsonian Institution. A team of Smithsonian 3D digital-imaging specialists scanned the president earlier this year.
President Barack Obama surprised an otherwise sleepy press briefing Friday afternoon to announce that Press Secretary Jay Carney was stepping down.
A polymer-stuffed, reusable sandbag. A basketball catapult. And a rescue device to save people who fall through ice. These inventions, by young children and high school students, made even President Obama feel stupid by comparison.
In a rare and bizarre slip-up, the White House mistakenly revealed the identity of the CIA top spy in Afghanistan, including him in a list distributed via email to reporters.
The man, whose identity has not been released, had reportedly asked for a meeting with the White House outside the gate, but the request was denied.
The new climate report portrays a nation in transition, with a wet Northeast pulling away from a drying Southwest, and the entire U.S. coastline increasingly vulnerable to coastal flooding from sea level rise. The report urges quick, decisive actions to reduce climate risks.
For most people, TV meteorologists are the only scientists that they see on a daily basis. People tend to trust them, and therefore they make ideal messengers of climate science findings. The White House hopes to take advantage of this in rolling out a new report on Tuesday.

text: Dell shares hit 3 1/2-year low on weak 3Q, outlook Share This: AP 11/16/2012 6:55:17 PM (AP) Dell shares hit 3 1/2-year low on weak 3Q, outlookLOS ANGELESDell shares hit their lowest point in more than three and a half years Friday on concerns about its ability to quickly transition away from the declining PC market.THE SPARK: Dell reported third-quarter earnings and revenue that were worse than expectations, even for investors who were braced for a dismal quarter.Revenue dropped 11 percent to $13.72 billion, below the $13.89 billion expected by analysts polled by FactSet. Net income fell 47 percent to $475 million, or 27 cents per share. Excluding certain expenses and accounting charges, adjusted earnings came to 39 cents per share, a penny below estimates.Its outlook for the fourth quarter is for revenue to fall by as much as 13 percent from a year ago. If the forecast bears out, it would be the fourth consecutive quarter in which Dell's year-over-year revenue decline has gotten worse. The forecast for revenue between $14 billion and $14.4 billion was below the $14.5 billion analysts were looking for.THE BIG PICTURE: About two-thirds of Dell's business is estimated to be tied to the sale of PCs, while consumers and businesses are increasingly looking for products such as lightweight tablets and mobile devices to replace laptops.THE ANALYSIS: Cowen & Co. analyst Matthew Hoffman said that sales continue to be pressured by competition from tablets, smartphones and macroeconomic weakness. He said that Microsoft Corp.'s new operating system, Windows 8, is unlikely to lift Dell out of its predicament."We believe Dell's PC issues are unlikely to be solved by the Windows 8 launch as the market's structure has fundamentally shifted away from the paradigm that dominated the last two decades," he wrote in a research note.Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu said in a research note that the transformation of the company beyond PCs "is harder and taking much longer than expected.""We still believe Dell needs to take bolder, more aggressive steps to reinvent itself," he wrote.SHARE ACTION: Dell Inc. fell 63 cents, or 6.6 percent, at $8.93 in midday trading Friday after having fallen as low as $8.69. That was the lowest price the shares have reached since March 2009 when they dipped to $8.13. Since the start of the year, Dell shares have fallen by 39 percent.

Maria wrote to me and asked if I'd like to look over some of her patterns. When I saw her work I just couldn't refuse, her bags are gorgeous. This is the first one I chose to make. It's the Leona Hobo Bag.
I loved the fabrics Maria used for her bag and wanted to make mine similar but with the shops closed and me wanting to make a start I took my scissors to hubbies jeans LOLLL yes that's right I made this bag from his trousers.
This bag is really spacious and I liked the way the trim was made rather than doing piping which I'm not keen on tackling.
I also liked how the handle was made. I ran out of hubbies trouser fabric so used a dark brown cotton to make it. So easy and you just tie the ends in a knot which means you could make a regular strap as an extra and change over when you want a different look. I didn't have small rings so I used these large ones but they worked fine.
The way the zipper was installed was new to me but was easy to do.
The pattern only had a couple of slip pockets on one side of the bag interior so I added a zipper pocket as the bag is so big I'd need somewhere to keep little things that would otherwise get lost in the bottom.
The slip pocket was also a new method to me. Don't know if you can make it out but there is a pleat in the middle.
Maria's pattern was well written with clear photos of the steps involved and I was impressed at how quickly she answers her emails so if you had a problem she's quick to help.
If you'd like to take a look at Maria's beautiful bags you can go to her Etsy HERE and HERE and also on Craftsy HERE. On Craftsy she has a free pattern for a double sided pillow with buttons and in her Etsy shop you will also see that she has pillows, scarves and jewelry as well as her bags.
She's getting a pattern ready for testing and it's gorgeous and I'm really looking forward to making that one.
More things to show you soon.
Happy Sewing
~ Maria ~

He is too small to understand the music yet seeing me sitting on computer he comes and listens to his favourite songs like dil to bacha hay ji, samay o dheeray chalo,O sunta ja ,surmayee akheeyon mein. he would point out to the thumbnail and pronounces two three starting words of the song. Who says music is not in us when we are born?

Though last week's entirely unexpected slashing of the Xbox 360 price in America hasn't inspired copycat cuts in Europe yet, Microsoft is more than happy to display some price tag violence in the land of Kangaroos, shrimps on the bar-B and countless crocodile wrestlers who roll their eyes whenever Australian stereotypes are perpetuated in the gaming press. Once their eyes return to normal positions, they'll be able to see an immediate Xbox 360 price cut displayed in a nearby store window: $579.95 Australian for the "Pro" model (down from $649) and $399.95 Australian for the Core (down from $429).
As GamesIndustry.biz points out, the Core's new price matches that of Nintendo's Wii, making a rather interesting proposition for the gamer intent on spending the least amount of money on a new console. Without resorting to criminal acts, that is.

Brand Neymar scores with Brazil's emerging consumers
Footballer's humble origins and playful style endear him to ordinary Brazilians
A mural showing Brazilian footballer Neymar and Angenor de Oliveira, known as Cartola, a Brazilian singer and composer (1908-1980) at the Terreirao do Samba (Samba Land), in Rio de Janeiro. Photograph: Marcelo Sayao/EPA
In a huge shopping mall just off São Paulo's main drag 18-year old delivery boy Clayton Neves is spending some of his lunch hour checking out Brazil football tops.
Earning just above Brazil's minimum wage, one will cost him around a week's salary. But he has already decided he must have one before the World Cup and already knows which name he would like printed on its back. "Neymar's of course," he smiles, his two sparkling ear studs and tipped-up baseball cap marking him out as a follower of Brazilian street style funk ostentação (ostentatious funk) just like his footballing hero.
With the build-up to the World Cup reaching its peak, Neymar jr is everywhere in Brazil. Every night seems to have an interview with the 22-year- old forward on TV.
He graces the cover of this month's local edition of Vogue with model Gisele Bündchen and currently appears in what feels like every third ad across the country. Readers of the country' s celebrity magazines avidly following his relationship with Bruna Marquezine, a young soap opera star who currently holds the title of Brazil's sweetheart.
In part this is because any player expected to lead Brazil's assault on another world title inevitably becomes the focus of intense attention. This is even truer when he does so with a sense of daring, improvisation and fun that recalls the best of Brazil's football traditions.
In a country where fans often lament how European clubs train the magic out of the Brazilian talent they snap up at ever younger ages, Neymar first made his name winning a hatful of titles in Santos's most glorious run since Pelé was leading its line, before his move to Barcelona last year.
Brazilian fans feel they know him. "It is not just that he is the best footballer on the team," says Clayton. "He's a joker both on and off the pitch. He didn't become one of those players who after they become stars get all self-important. He's a cool guy of course, but also always ready to dance!"
This appeal has helped turn Neymar into a marketing phenomenon. "He is a hugely charismatic kid with an easy smile who personifies the image of the happy Brazilian, the kid who plays a joyful football, which makes him very interesting to companies," says Rafael Plastina, a Brazilian sports marketing analyst.
From a humble background, and as one who still wears the clothing and listens to the sounds of the country's urban periphery, Neymar is especially attractive to firms seeking to reach the country's emerging consumer class, tens of millions of people lifted out of poverty in the last decade who are now a major driver of the economy.

Sorry for my bad English. I create images from the fun of it. I also feel still a beginner and would like to learn a lot.Aug 30th
Much of my art derives its inspiration from mythology, legends, and folklore. I draw from many cultures, from my own Chinese background, through that of Roma, Celtic, Greek, Roman, and Indian to name a few. I have been interested in fantasy since I was eight when a friend introduced me to the world of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, and for a long time, my art was just about creatures and figures from fantasy novels. Even now, much of it still comes from these sources, because I still enjoy it. But I slowly found myself moving away from strict fantasy in both literature and my art, and into the realms before and beyond "fantasy", which is mythology and folklore. Tales in mythology and folklore stem from emotions, needs, desires, hopes, and beliefs that have survived through time, for thousands of years, across hundreds of cultures. These things are part of the essence of being alive, and of being human. There is something in these tales that makes people hold on to them, even without need of words on paper, but simple word of mouth. And so it is these images that I try to capture with my paintings. In addition to mythology though, the other aspect of my art is the concept of "sacredness". I remember in an art class I once took, the lecturer was telling of a trip of his to Africa. He had stayed among tribes. One day, one of the men took him out and pointed to a lake, far in the distance. "That is a sacred lake," he was told. And he spoke to us in that lecture hall about how little in our world today is truly sacred any longer. The reverence that African held for the lake, the wonder, and absolute belief he held. It is that sense which I try the most to convey with my work, a sense of wonder for things within the human experience that somehow sit upon the edges of our consciousness. Things that are hoped for, or perhaps only half remembered. Things that could be, if one were to look on the world and think and live with a different mindset that could see all the possibilities and wonders in this life. Aside from all that though...there is the part of me that just loves to draw and paint for its own sake. Forget meanings and high-minded interpretations...when it comes down to it, I just have a need to draw and create.Sep 2nd
All pictures are made by me as model and my husband ToneArt as photographer. My part is the styling and his to take the picture. On many pictures we create the manipulation together.Sep 10th

New Zealand-based startup Your Pure Honey is putting the connection between consumer investment and resource preservation to the test. The organization allows consumers to purchase a share (or more) of a beehive in exchange for the Manuka honey the hive produces. The exchange also helps protect Manuka forests in the region while providing income for local farmers. Touted a "crowdfunded sustainable forest," the project is, in many ways, a glimpse into the multiple options for creating a greater degree of sustainability in agriculture and trade in the global marketplace.
According to a report by springwise.com, the Your Pure Honey process is simple. Hive purchasers may choose from two options: a basic share (which costs about 285 USD per season and provides 2kg of raw honey) or an entire colony (which costs about $2,500 and provides 20 kg of honey). Delivery is included in the costs. Meanwhile, Your Pure Honey protects New Zealand's Manuka forests by renting farmland (at one hectare [2.5 acres] per hive), thereby providing work for farmers while keeping the forests intact. (Manuka trees are often cut down to provide extra farming land.) Each beehive provides enough funds to sustain five forest acres.Click to continue reading »

1 milla náutica es un minuto de arco. En el Ecuador y a nivel del mar eso equivale a 1852m/60=30,86666667m A 33,6º de latitud Sur cos 33º=0,83292 cos 33,6 * 30,866666667m = 25,709m por segundo de arco de longitud a esa latitud.
Why can't you use the Field Calculator to recalculate the Lat/Long once you've done the data transformation? If you need to preserve the original values (for some reason), then add two new columns and calc those with the NAD83 values.
From what I understand (not tested) 35.35 and 34.33 are the coordinates of the parallels (lat_1 and lat_2). The central meridian (lon_0) is -86.

Visiting professorships take on new uses in changing markettags: historical profession, Chronicle of Higher Ed., visiting professorships, academia
Stan Nadel sat with fellow historians around a lunch table as they introduced themselves one by one. His peers were greeted with warm nods and smiles, but when he stated his name, Mr. Nadel was met with surprise. The man across from him clapped his hand over his mouth.
"What the hell?" Mr. Nadel says he thought, recalling that moment. It was 1997, and he was attending a history conference in Oklahoma.
The lunch mate had graduated from a Ph.D. program at the University of Hawaii, a place Mr. Nadel had never visited. Perhaps the young man was familiar with Mr. Nadel's publications, he thought. Maybe he was a former colleague or a student.
It turned out, Mr. Nadel said, that the man had no connection to him at all. The stranger had recently accepted a one-year teaching appointment off the tenure track, which had prompted a colleague to warn him of Mr. Nadel's experience....

Shrink Dust - Chad VanGaalen
- Band Name: Chad VanGaalen
- Record Label: Sub Pop
- Release Date: Apr 29, 2014
- Record Label: Sub Pop
- Genre(s): Pop/Rock, Alternative/Indie Rock
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 16 out of 18
Mixed: 2 out of 18
Negative: 0 out of 18
Apr 29, 2014It's an album that wears its weirdness on its sleeve, but it's the best kind of weird, and a joy to listen to.
May 29, 2014A free-form lyrical approach leads Vangaalen into phantasmically beautiful byways, with both the music and the words floating up and away.
May 2, 2014Chad VanGaalen's world is weird, but never just for weird's sake--his creations spring from deep inside the singular, twisted mind of their creator, and Shrink Dust is the closest we've come yet to getting inside his head.
May 22, 2014Shrink Dust is ultimately VanGaalen doing what VanGaalen does best: beguilingly wonky folk-rock that's equally at ease tugging at your heartstrings or hitting you with ominous promises of revenge and heartfelt confessions of sin.
Apr 28, 2014Shrink Dust has some truly inspired moments and fits right in with VanGaalen's building mythology.
Apr 24, 2014The album's lacking that one standout moment to make it a truly transformative experience. Still, the scope and ambition are to be applauded, and it's a treat to take a voyage around his mind and beyond.
Score distribution:
Positive: 1 out of 1
Mixed: 0 out of 1
Negative: 0 out of 1
May 23, 2014This is easily Chad Vangaalens best album. Adding new wonderful sounds to his infinite treasure chest of instruments. My favorite is the addition of lap-steel to give some of the tracks a country feel. The more you listen, the better it gets. Tops for 2014!… Expand

Tuesday Tip: Dry Winter Hands
Taking care of your hands is often over looked. Here are a few steps to bring your hands back to life: - A good rule of thumb is to think of your hand care in the same way that you take care of your face. Just like your face, dry hands needs to be exfoliated. Exfoliating actually helps your skin absorb more moisture and in turn prevents the accumulation of dead skin cells. The unique double-exfoliating action of glycolic acid in the Facial For Hands Glycolic Hand Scrub will help give your hands a... Read More

Once again, Muskego's senior taxi service will be able to finish the year in the black with the help of $5,000 from the city on top of thousands of dollars from local businesses and community groups and a subsidy by Waukesha County.
On Tuesday, Muskego approved the $5,000 contribution from funds left over from tax incremental finance districts that have met their goals and are now closed.
While the city has provided funding from closed TIFs almost every year since 2008, Alderman Dan Soltysiak called for the city to set up a separate fund that could be budgeted to meet such expenses if groups that provide community services get into a bind. By the time they come to the city they would likely find that every city dollar is already spoken for, he said.
That suggestion will be discussed soon during budget development for next year.

Sometimes we poke around other people's blogs. We confess. Sometimes We are just at a loss as to what to talk about! We two girls sometimes just end up staring at one another with the proverbial guns drawn thinking, THAT is dumb, THAT won't do! So, in the case where, like today, we want to write and the block is there, off we go blog subject hunting. Lo and behold, we came upon this idea and thought hmmmmm… good one.
We bet ALOT of people that are planning weddings/events get to a point and think:
Planning a wedding, or any kind of event is not for the fainthearted. Planning a BIG wedding is even less so. If organization is not your strong suit, then it will be tougher still. There is so much emotion, as well as, organization that comes with planning a life event such as Weddings, Bar/Bat mitzvah, Quinceaneras and the like.
For a long time the event IS perpetually a non-stop think fest, with a constant filling up of to-do lists, searching for ideas and wondering if you made the right decision. It is a driving force or an annoying dream that keeps badgering you about things you don't want to think about right now. Making unreasonable demands on your brain when all you want to do is sleep. This stultifying living situation somehow becomes the norm for you, until one day….finally….you come to realize, it's all done, you've gathered everything you need, you must trust your vendors and come what may.
So, for those of you still in that planning vortex here's a short list to keep in mind:
1. Interview each vendor, be comfortable with them, and after you've hired them… let go and move on to the next . Don't keep going back changing, redoing, reworking . Trust that your first idea or two, was your best.
2. Take a break. Pick 3 top items to do first. Let's say Venue, Caterer, Wedding Gown & Bridesmaid's dresses. Then.. take a week or so off before you start on the next part of your list.
3. Keep a time line. With a list of what needs to be done and keep to that timeline. Don't jump around and do #1 then #10 then #5. Make an order… and keep to it. That way you won't forget anything along the way.
And last but not least…
4. Calm down. Be aware that not everything will go EXACTLY as planned. But, for the most part, everything will go like it should. Whatever doesn't… will be a really funny story to talk about later on. One of those things that will become family legend.
So, really what I'm saying to all of you who are still in the planning stages is, that it gets better. One day, you will not have to think about weddings or events anymore. You will not care about weddings anymore. You won't even really care about your own anymore! You'll be like "Did I really get THAT crazy? over that?? What was I thinking!?". The thing is when you're knee deep in wedding blogs, magazines, and every one else's opinions… well…You're NOT thinking. So I say, Stop! Relax and smell some roses. Remember, this too shall pass.
Now go out and have yourself a rose smelling, calm and sweet, wholesale Flower-Filled Day!

Nov. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Gree Electric Appliances Inc. and GD Midea Holding Co. paced losses by Chinese household appliance makers after Citic Securities Co. cut its recommendation on air- conditioner stocks.
Gree, China's largest maker of home air-conditioners, slid 4.2 percent to 17.81 yuan as of 2:01 p.m., set for its lowest close since February 9. Midea, the nation's second-biggest publicly traded appliance maker, retreated 3.8 percent to 12.02 yuan. The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.5 percent.
Citic Securities, China's biggest publicly traded brokerage, lowered the rating on air-conditioner stocks to "neutral," saying a warm winter is expected to hurt sales and buyers are less willing to spend money amid the economic slowdown.
"A combination of slowing growth in October's air- conditioner production and sales and other negative factors have weighed on sentiment on the industry," Hu Yali, an analyst at Citic Securities, wrote in a report today, without saying what the previous rating for the industry was.
Output of household air-conditioners dropped 21 percent from a year earlier last month and sales fell 19 percent, according to the report. Exports slid 24 percent, a third consecutive month of declines, as Europe's debt crisis and the slowing U.S. economy sapped the demand, it said. Europe and the U.S. account for about 30 percent of China's overseas shipments of air-conditioners, the report said.

You know those annoying people who claim their dogs can talk?
What does sandpaper feel like, Rover? Ruff! Ruff!
The European Union is the same way. What do you think about the rampant Arab terrorism in Israel, EU, especially the murders?
Two-state solution! Two-state solution!
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini on Tuesday issued a noncommittal response to two deadly attacks in Israel Monday, voicing "concern" about escalating violence and urging progress toward a "two-state solution."
"We need a Palestinian state living in peace and security next to the Israeli state," said Europe's top diplomat in Berlin, after recently visiting Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
"And I am particularly sad and worried about the escalation of violence that we are witnessing these hours," she told reporters, flanked by German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, apparently referring to deadly stabbing attacks in Tel Aviv and Gush Etzion.
Recent violence had "demonstrated very clearly that if we do not offer political perspective both to the Israelis to live in security and to the Palestinians to have a state, their own state, violence will come back", she said.
Hey, sad and worried is better than dazed and confused. Very little difference as far as the EU is concerned.
Funny how none of the articles about the murder of Dahlia Lemkus who was stabbed near Alon Shvut last night speak about Dahlia or her family, how no reporter had the curiosity to find out about her. She was killed in the afternoon so the reporters had all evening to question their contacts in Tekoa.
In the New York Times, the reporter tells you about the terrorist who is from Hebron, how he was in an Israeli jail for five years for a firebombing. The reporter quotes his Facebook page: "I'll be a thorn in the gullet of the Zionist project to Judaize Jerusalem." We learn nothing about 26 year old Dahlia, who was just getting started in life after finishing college, studying occupational therapy so that she could have a job where she could help people who were sick or infirm or disabled to live in a fuller way.
They don't tell you how she loved to bake with her mother, the two of them bringing rich, luscious cakes to parties and the way she spoke English with an accent — but not a Hebrew accent — a South African accent because her parents made aliyah from there thirty years ago. They don't tell you how she went to synagogue every Sabbath and smiled at the people in her row before she prayed. And they don't tell you how she had to hitchhike to get to her job working with children in Kiryat Gat or that she was the main volunteer at Yad Sarah in Tekoa which lends medical equipment like wheelchairs to those who are sick or injured. They don't tell you how she liked to help brides look beautiful by doing their makeup for them before their weddings.
They don't care that Dahlia's father Nachum drives the ambulance in Tekoa. Day and night he is called on to make the drive to Jerusalem, and that Dahlia's mother cares tenderly for the elderly.
You will never learn from the articles that, when a neighbor had to go to the hospital with a sick child, Dahlia stayed with the other young children all night and insisted that they not pay her. The articles would never tell you that she was the one who cooked the food for her brother Haggai's bar mitzvah a month ago, fried fish, salad and pancakes.
No, they don't want you to know what a kind, giving, loving young woman she was on the cusp of her adult life, looking towards marriage and creating her own family.
Instead the newspapers show a photo of the terrorist and tell us…
No. I don't want to know what they tell us.
