Brand Thunder Canvas suddenly appeared on my browser unasked for, I want to remove it. How do I get rid of it? Remove the parts from my Firefox toolbar!
Official Response
Kevin Dwinnell (Official Rep) November 14, 2010 16:26Kenji:
Try this path. Select Tools from the Firefox menu, then choose Add-ons and you'll find Canvas under the Extensions tab. Click Canvas, then the Uninstall button.
EMPLOYEE1Kevin Dwinnell (Official Rep) July 05, 2010 22:50I'm sorry you've had a unexpected experience. There is nothing in the code that should allow Canvas to be installed without your consent. So, please give us all the details you can to tell us when and how it occurred so we can review. Your OS (operating system) and version of Firefox will help as well.
You may also want to password protect the admin rights on your computer and not allow other users to install software. It's possible that someone else installed it without your knowledge. The product appeals to people who want to choose their own picture or image to feature in the browser theme. You can also right click on any image on the web and choose "Add background image to Canvas." For a number of reasons, people find it cool.
To uninstall, you should be able to click the Settings button on the far right of the theme toolbar, then choose Uninstall Canvas. Alternatively, you can select Tools from the Firefox menu, then choose Add-ons and you'll find Canvas under the Extensions tab. Click Canvas, then the Uninstall button.
Again, sorry for the inconvenience and please share the details. This should not happen.
I cannot find the Setting buttom on the far right of the theme toolbar to uninstall. Help? KK

Thanks but I use IE8, not Firefox or Google Chrome? Please advise. Thanks, Kenji
Kevin Dwinnell (Official Rep) November 15, 2010 03:38Ah... That's where the curveball is. One of our browser themes is called Canvas and it is specific to Firefox.
The theme you are using should be removable under the Add/Remove Programs in your IE control panel. Because of the graphical nature of our themes, they don't fall under the normal toolbar settings in your browser so you can't just right click and turn it off in IE.
If you still have trouble, let me know and I'll make sure one of our IE developers responds.
IE8: can't locate anything even similar to the old Add/Remove. Have I done something wrong. There are several programs like weatherbug that NEED deleting! Help appreciated. nancy
Kevin Dwinnell (Official Rep) February 07, 2011 03:37Oops. That was a typo. I should have said Windows Control Panel. Click Start and then you should be able to find it somewhere thereafter. Different versions of Windows will have different paths to it.
Thanks so much. Kenji
this brand thunder thing is not under extensions every time i open new tab it has that dumb thing
i can not find the brand thunder in my extensions? can u please help
Kevin Dwinnell (Official Rep) May 14, 2012 02:58Josias:
Sorry for the trouble. This should help you...
Look for the "gear" icon in the toolbar, click that, then choose Preferences. In the Preference window, click the Search tab and you can turn off WebSearch+ from the new tab page.
Under Extensions, Personas Interactive is the theme engine for all Brand Thunder themes. You can find a link to Preferences there as well.
If this doesn't work, please let me know.
this doesn't work the same bs is going on with my firefox as well - i want brand thunder out this is garbage
Patrick Murphy (Founder) May 19, 2012 21:32In firefox, go to Tools-> Addons - Extensions
You will see something called Default Theme Engine - Personas Interactive.
Simply uninstall that extension and you should be fine...
I am running Chrome on Mac OSX. I disabled Brand Thunder, then clicked the trash can. I still have the MLB logo "stuff" on my browser. How do I get rid of this? Thanks.
Nevermind. In Chrome, you also have to "reset to default theme" yourself. So much for an "uninstaller included."
Kevin Dwinnell (Official Rep) June 05, 2012 20:22David: You raise a fair point. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
Every time I open a new tab in Firefix 13 I go to a strange search page (home.brandthunder.com/?newtab&displayLogo=false). I already removed the Canvas add on, but I still get this when opening a new tab.The only gear icon I have is on my amazon toolbar, which I want to keep. If I click that I do not get a preferences option as described above. How do I go back to the firefox new tab defaults and remove this Brand Thunder search thing?
Kevin Dwinnell (Official Rep) June 07, 2012 16:11Chet:
Sorry about that. There's a bug with our product and Firefox 13. A fix is rolling out, but depending on where you downloaded Canvas, it may take a bit to get it.
In the meantime, this page will can the issue. http://brandthunder.com/personas/fixn...

I have to puppy taps that do not go away
Patrick Murphy (Founder) March 27, 2016 13:11Hi. Simply go to brandthunder.com/uninstall for instructions to remove. Thanks.
This is the biggest load of bullshit, watching you offer fake apologies and excuses every time someone asks the inevitable question, "how do I remove this shit that hijacked my browser?"
I really cannot apologize for my vitriol, as slipping unwanted "functionality" into someone's installation without proper warning, consent, and appropriate and COMPLETE removal, is NOT COOL.
Be straight for once and explain exactly HOW (I know, you have no idea...) to restore proper default Mozilla behavior after "removing" your crapware toolbar. I am sick of my fresh tabs coming up with a dozen social media (read *blight*) charms, which is why I removed teh "product" in the first place.
Betch can't, can you, you charlatan. =.=
Kevin Dwinnell (Official Rep) June 10, 2012 15:13We do our best to address the issues that are raised. If your's isn't captured in these threads (or if there's too much to filter through), tell us where the sticking points are and we'll help.
i can not remove this from my pc.i disabled it and tried deleting it and its saying i need permission. this is really bs. i need to know how to remove it. i am using internet explorer
Kevin Dwinnell (Official Rep) July 10, 2012 22:02The theme you are using should be removable under the Add/Remove Programs in your Windows control panel. Because of the graphical nature of our themes, they don't fall under the normal toolbar settings in your browser so you can't just right click and turn it off in IE.
To access the Windows Control Panel. Click Start and then you should be able to find it somewhere thereafter. Different versions of Windows will have different paths to it.
If you still have trouble, let me know and I'll make sure one of our IE developers responds.
i've tried everthing that has been listed here and i still have the same problem. Can't seem to remove or uninstall the brandthunder .the bug is http://home.brandthunder.com/mlbrangers/ and i can't seem to get rid of this mess
Kevin Dwinnell (Official Rep) July 17, 2012 13:40What operating system are you using and what browser? Browser is probably the big one. And I'm going to guess you're on Firefox.
If I understand the problem, the Rangers page is coming up when you open new tabs or is now set as your home page?
If it's the homepage, you can adjust under Firefox Preferences, the General tab in the dialogue box and you should see the Rangers URL set as the homepage. You can modify it on that General tab.
If it's coming up when you open a new tab and you still have the theme installed, in the Brand Thunder Preferences, under Search uncheck the Use WebSearch+ on New Tab Pages. That should remove it from the New Tab Pages.
If you've already uninstalled the theme and it's the New Tab Page, I'll have to ask out developers how to fix it. There's a method in Firefox's About:Config settings, but I don't know the exact steps.
Please, let me know if this helps.
I to have a win xp computer, am using I.E. and cannot find where to uninstall
Kevin Dwinnell (Official Rep) July 17, 2012 16:50You may uninstall the theme via the Windows Control Panel.
1. Close Internet Explorer
2. Select Add/Remove Programs or Uninstall a Program from the Control Panel
3. Select the Theme you wish to uninstall
4. Click Remove and follow the prompts
You may also want to look at our Gallery (http://gallery.brandthunder.com) and see if there are other themes you'd prefer.
see the change log
Ok, so the employees are deleting my comments for trying to help people out.
It's a simple fix. If you want to restore your New Tab in Firefox...
In order to restore the new tab page manually enter "about:config" into the adress bar, search for the "browser.newtab.url" setting & right-click it in order to reset it to the default value ("about:newtab").
There, no names. Don't delete this if you're actually concerned about the users.
It's funny, non of the above questions with language were deleted.. only mine with an ACTUAL fix.

Review sent to BBB
Kevin Dwinnell (Official Rep) July 26, 2012 00:11I appreciate your posting the instructions for a fix to the Firefox bug, and am sorry about the problem. Truly.
We play in other people's sandbox (the browser) and try to do a lot of different things to create a good experience and revenue as a company. When the rules change in the sandbox, sometimes our stuff breaks. We do try to fix it, but don't always have the most elegant solution available (we understand using about:config but how many do?). We try to simplify the solution.
We also give pretty granular control over the experience. If you explore the settings/options in your respective browser (see I can't even use a single term because they're called different things in different browsers), you'll see all that we offer and all that you can adjust.
We take all feedback seriously and work to improve the product. I'm sorry we failed to meet your expectations, but your feedback is appreciated and I'm sure will influence others.
p.s. I can't address the comment deletion. I don't have the authority to make that request and so was not involved, nor consulted.
Thanks to DeepThroat for the fix.
Boo on Kevin for the runaround.
You have to wonder when the maker won't tell the truth, and it takes a programmer to let it out.
Keep your idiotic malware out of circulation!!
I have in on my IE on Windows8 -- how do I remove. I will try to change my homepage default --- any other suggestions would be appreciated!!
Patrick Murphy (Founder) September 07, 2013 22:01Hi Dolores. Uninstall instructions , by browser, are detailed here: brandthunder.com/uninstall
Let us know if that doesn't work.
good luck everyone, I had to wipe my whole hard dive and just reset the whole computer. this place does not help; they want you to have their toolbar.
Patrick Murphy (Founder) September 07, 2013 22:03Sorry you ended up formatting your hard drive Gil. All uninstall instruction are detailed here: brandthunder.com/uninstall

Michael Kaply (Official Rep) January 30, 2014 14:52Sorry you're having this problem, Madelyn. Did you recently install a theme or extension? Do you see a green lightning bolt icon on your toolbar?
In my case, it is not even showing up in the extensions tab under add-on nor in the control panel. So where exactly do I find it and hopefully remove it ?
Patrick Murphy (Founder) June 06, 2014 03:54Hi Amine... If this link doesn't help let me know: brandthunder.com/uninstall
It did not help. I couldn't locate anything that the support link was suggesting me.
Patrick Murphy (Founder) June 06, 2014 22:22Amine - what browser are you using?
I'm a huge fan Mozilla Firefox Patrick.
I read the instructions about Firefox but I couldn't help myself.
Patrick Murphy (Founder) June 09, 2014 13:19Is it possible to skype me or call ? May be easier to walk thru the issue..

Autumn at Ticonderoga Farms means pumpkins, hayrides, and plenty of outdoor fun in their huge play area. Their pumpkin patch is a short walk from the entrance or the hayride will take you right there, though I recommend the hayride, which takes you around the bamboo maze and part of the Christmas tree forest. It's a fun autumn tradition and my boys were screaming, "This is the best hayride ever!" They enjoyed seeing all the Halloween displays and prop animals throughout the ride.
Choosing a pumpkin turned out to be a challenging task for the boys, as one pumpkin after another was inspected and rejected. When each had finally chosen the perfect pumpkin, we hopped back on the hay wagon and finished the ride. We ended our farm adventure at the huge outdoor slide, which is a man-made hill with six slides around it. It's the old-fashioned kind, where you sit on a blanket and speed down the hill, and the boys ran right back up the hill after each trip down. By the time the farm closed, the boys were thoroughly worn out. They happily carried their pumpkins back to the car and asked when we could come back. Soon, very soon.
Ticonderoga Farms in Autumn
Top Gun and Monkey Boy decided they didn't want us to eat their pumpkins just yet, but Hockey Guy was very agreeable, and we've all enjoyed this pumpkin butter. Roasting the pumpkin brings out the natural sweetness, so you can use less added sugar. To play around with flavors, use whatever mix of spices you use in pumpkin pie, and store-bought pumpkin pie spice mix works well, too. Star anise and cloves also make an interesting addition, just go lightly with those stronger flavors.
Ticonderoga Farms: Autumn Pumpkins (Roasted Pumpkin Butter)
- 1 small pie pumpkin aka sugar pumpkin, roasted
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar or raw sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Roast the pumpkin according the directions (linked above). Scoop the roasted pumpkin out of the skin and put it all in a 1-quart saucepan. Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and nutmeg and cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is heated through. Blend with the immersion blender or in a jar blender until smooth. Store in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Ten years on at the 9-11 7-11
[Written by guest blogger emeritus See-Dubya]
Hello—I go by See-Dubya on the web, and I used to guest-blog here for Michelle back in 2008. Then I retired from blogging, but I'm coming back just this once to tell you about my trip to 7-11.
It was actually only near 7-11; I didn't go in. The parking lot was too crowded. It was raining and it was early in the morning and my windows were fogged up but I pulled in across the street, turned my headlights off, and one of the three or four dozen men who were hanging around the lot (despite the miserable downpour) came out to see me. One little guy in an orange shirt and a ball cap, who looked to be in charge, came up to my window, but I just smiled and waved him off and fooled with my phone. So he smiled and went back to leaning on his truck. I think he thought I wanted to pick up some day labor.
I wasn't, but hat's understandable: this particular 7-11 has a reputation as a place to pick up day labor. It has had that reputation for at least ten years, probably longer. Every time I've driven by there, there the laborers are. There's a lot of places like this in America today, probably some of them 7-11s, where day laborers gather in hopes they'll get picked up for a job.
This particular 7-11 (you can see the sign, and the workers, in the background, through the monsoon) is in Falls Church, Virginia, on the Leesburg Pike, just down the road from the Dar al-Hijrah mosque. Ten years ago, a charismatic imam named Anwar al-Awlaki manned the pulpit there, and a U.S. soldier named Nidal Hasan listened to his sermons in the congregation.
In fact just a little over ten years ago a couple of worshipers from Dar al-Hijrah drove up to this particular 7-11. They weren't really interested in hiring the day laborers so much as getting someone to help them acquire forged identification. That turned out to be a fellow named Luis A. Martinez-Flores, himself an illegal immigrant, and he walked the two Arabs, Hani Hanjour and Khaled Almidhar, through the process of getting Virginia ID cards—after which they returned to this particular 7-11, withdrew $100 from the ATM, and handed it to Mr. Martinez-Flores.
Around five years ago Michelle went to this particular 7-11. She talked about what had happened there on her then-new website called Hot Air. Her video isn't there anymore, but it made quite an impression on me. Now that I live in Northern Virginia, every time I drive past that particular 7-11 I point it out to my family. I don't want them to forget why that particular 7-11 is special. That's where Hani Hanjour and Khaled Almidhar ten years ago used the ID's they bought so easily at this day labor bazaar to board American Airlines Flight 77 out of Dulles, and then to take it over and fly it into the Pentagon. They had also, according to Martinez-Lopez's federal indictment, used these ID's to procure ID's in turn for three other 9/11 hijackers. "In all," notes the 9-11 Commission report, "the five hijackers based their Virginia identification documents on the residency information of one bribed Salvadoran."
You would think the first thing that the newly-formed Department Homeland Security would have done would be to raid this particular labor market, frequented by illegal aliens and the document fraudsters that enable them to feign legitimacy, and shut it down for good. This is the site of our immigration policy's greatest, most shameful failure, after all. Of course, ten years on, it's just business as usual and the shame and failure continue unabated. There's no marker to commemorate what happened there. You'd never know anything historically significant had happened there ten years ago.
You'd have no indication at that particular 7-11 what a petty, commonplace, wretched little conspiracy was committed, and what a dreadful, monstrous crime was thereby abetted. That was where and when our self-deception about the illegal labor market and the security risks it presents caught up to us. Everyone should know this place. Everyone should vow that what happened there will never be permitted to happen again.
But everyone won't know; the memory is fading. Like the pictures of the man jumping from the Twin Towers, like the pictures of the rejoicing Middle East, this is one story that you never see in the "respectable" media accounts of what happened a decade ago.
I just drove by there the other day to remind myself. And ten years later it looks like nothing has changed, especially not the policy permitting this market to occur. When Michelle made her video for Hot Air five years ago we were in the midst of debating President Bush's new policy of amnesty for illegal immigrants, a policy which was just beginning to erode the support of his conservative base. And today the current President has just recently opened yet another door to illegal alien amnesty.
One more thing remained the same: Writing in Human Events about that particular 7-11 in November of 2001, Timothy Carney and Terence Jeffrey noted that Fairfax County police cars often stopped there in the mornings and kept an eye on the crowd. And sure enough, this week, right there in front of that particular 7-11, in the midst of the mob of day laborers (no doubt enjoying Fairfax County's ongoing status as a "sanctuary city" for illegal immigrants,) there was parked a Fairfax County police cruiser, just waiting, watching the traffic. Hoping, perhaps, to find some illegal activity going on.
Keep watching! Another ten years, and you may start to see something.

Deja Vue all over again!
Since installation of the stove on 11/11/06, the stove has only worked 8 out of the 18 days and is now once again not working.
It stopped working on Sunday (11/26/06) with the "Conv Blower Jammed" error on the display.
Contacted the dealer, early Monday morning with information as to error. Dealer contacted Quadra-Fire as soon as they could get through to them on the phone, then called me back saying the parts (blower and wiring harness) will be shipped "Next Day" to them for installation.
Well now it is Tuesday. At noon, I checked with dealer to see if they did indeed receive the parts. No, they did not receive any of the parts. At the latest, these parts should have been received and installed the next day!!!
I called Quadra-Fire to get information as to when I could expect the parts to arrive. They refused to give me any information, saying I will need to contact the dealer. Expressed my disappointment with their (Quadra-Fire) service. They gave me a case number and said they will check it out. I presume this may be something like the question I had previously posted on Quadra-Fire's web site and didn't get an answer back till 7 days later. This is not at all expectable. Very poooooor service to consumers or to me anyway.
I am getting very concerned for when and if I have any problems with the stove a year from now. Will they be giving me this same support? This was a new stove and has been in service for only 18 days, but has only worked 8 out of these 18 days and is not working at this time.
Could it be that I got a lemon?
Well, this is the final straw. I am not going to fix this baby this time. If the stove is not working when I get home from work tomorrow evening, it will be removed and set outside.
This is a great looking stove and when it is working, it does produce heat and dumps the ashes. But, at this time, I really would not recommend this stove to anyone.

We're entering into 2013 and Microsoft has already displayed signs of the company continuing to push on with its marketing campaign for its Windows family of products - namely Windows 8. A batch of new commercials have been released on its YouTube channel, with the first featuring the track "Everything at Once" by Australian singer Lenka.
Showing off apps such as Maps and Mail on Windows 8, the advertisement isn't one to walk viewers through each and every nook and cranny of the operating system, but provide an up-beat presentation of the type of ecosystem Microsoft is attempting to create. No longer are we placing "Microsoft" or "Windows" in the un-cool category with spreadsheets and documents (though it remains the best desktop OS for such productivity).
Much like the Surface RT tablet advertisement that saw an array of dancers perform to a track showing how durable and light the Surface hardware is, Microsoft is attempting to rebuild its brand awareness on new innovations and hardware that it'll pump out - Windows Phone being one of such innovations.
A second commercial, Free To Be Me, shows a user toying with Microsoft's Fresh Paint app. As well as the official app being utilised in the video, viewers are also shown two Windows 8 convertible PCs - the Lenovo Yoga 13 and the ASUS VivoTab. There are a number of other partners who are producing some top-notch hardware, including Acer and Dell, but it's good to see Microsoft still giving OEMs the stage for their products to receive attention.
Last, but by no means least is another Windows 8 advertisement, but this time sporting an Acer notebook. An office worker uses Windows 8 to receive Pandeiro instrument lessons and book a trip to Rio to get away from the deadly cubicles. We're still waiting for a Steve Ballmer "Developers! Developers! Developers!" exercise video to be made available on Xbox Video.

We pick up right where we left off last week, with John Tesar mouthing off about Kuniko's departure. The rest of the conversation reveals Josh telling John he has no tact, and John declaring that "Oh, Oklahoma has a lot of tact". Gasp! Way to insult Josh's home state and its 3 million residents, John.
Things get awfully heated right quickly. Can we move on to the cooking now?
Apparently not. The next scene we see the chefs in their apartment making coffee, and John instigates his own argument again with CJ. Meanwhile, Stefan and and Kristen are engaging in the age-old dance of reality-show-new-housemate-flirtation. There are cigarettes and a foot rub involved. Can we move on to the cooking now?
Yes! The Quickfire is dramatically revealed as Padma yanks away a curtain to unveil two huge slabs of beef. There are cleavers and knives behind them. Each chef must butcher their own cut and has one hour to prepare something. Padma also declares "safety first: only two chefs can be butchering any one piece at one time" — this is a good thing, mostly because I am fairly certain Josh would love to accidentally lop off one of John's limbs right now.

Tyler is still reeling from his grody gumbo last week, and wants to push the envelope with this challenge. Brooke reminds him that he's not on the bottom anymore, it's a new day. Tyler rallies and agrees, "I need to just shut the f--- up and cook".
As time is called, Micah is completely confident his oxtail dish will take the prize.
Naomi lists off her least favorite dishes, including Tyler's crudo, which she thought was underseasoned. Cut to Tyler's interview where he quite seriously becomes Charlie Brown, declaring, "I can't do anything right!" heaves a sigh, and stares at the ground. Holy cow, please don't let them pull the football away from him during the elimination tonight.
Top dishes go to CJ, John, and Josh. Naomi awards immunity to John for his oxtail dish. The group collectively grind their teeth.
Padma introduces Brian and Mark Canlis — their grandfather opened Canlis restaurant in 1950. The place is legendary, and steeped in history. For this challenge and one night only, the restaurant will revive its original 1950s menu.
The winner will receive $10K, and there will be two eliminations. Stefan is delighted, as cuisine back then had "no frou-frou, no fra-fra, no bulls---."
The chefs pile on top of each other to divvy up the original menu's dishes. Somehow Stefan becomes menu dictator and starts announcing what everyone is doing. Kristen is irritated she's gotten stuck with the mushrooms and onions, which don't leave her a lot of room to shine. Danyele is taking on the ice cream sundaes, claiming she has experience with sundae making in her restaurant. Doesn't she know the first chef to try dessert in Top Chef always goes home? It's the sugary kiss of death! Run away, Danyele! Run away!
Carla gets the squab and she's wary, with good reason. It's squab.
Chrissy ends up with the only item on the original menu that is still served at Canlis - the Canlis "Special Salad". Josh smartly points out that that is the riskiest dish, since people have been eating it for decades. "They know exactly what it's supposed to taste like".
John volunteers to expedite. Oh boy. CJ says, "John's going to expedite because he has immunity. And, as he'll tell you, he's opened like 96 restaurants and he can do anything".
As the group leaves the kitchen, Carla ominously notes that this challenge "is so simple, it's tricky."
Back in their apartment, Josie and Lizzie wonder if the producers will reinstate the "Last Chef Standing" competition from Season 9. Spoiler alert: the commercial break at the end of the show indicates they do. Those competitions are available here. Does this mean I get to see my chef-crush Jeffrey Jew again? Huzzah!
The chefs set up in the beautifully appointed kitchen of Canlis. Kristen reiterates Carla's point that the simpler the dish the more difficult it can be. She's making sure her mushrooms come out perfect by baking them in a hot oven before sauteeing them.
Josh tells Bart he couldn't let the French guy make the French Onion Soup. "The Belgian guy," Bart corrects. "The Belgian guy who speaks French, whatever" counters Josh. Wow. That, coupled with John's Oklahoma dig, really have me thinking this crew needs a lesson in diplomacy. And geography.
Carla is frustrated because her squab needs to be grilled, and the kitchen has a tiny grill room, which "only Sheldon and Bart can get in there". Here I have to disagree. If you really want to get in the grill room, then GET IN THE GRILL ROOM. I would think a personality as brash and confident as Carla's would be able to tell the boys to move the hell over so she can cook her squab. I'm a little disappointed she doesn't protest more. She instructs Bart how to to cook her wee birds.
CJ's shish kebob are not charring like he wants, so he decides to sous vide his meat before he sends it out. My anachronism spidey sense is tingling. 1950? Sous vide?
John starts "expediting" by announcing to everyone how to plate things. Everyone collectively chuckles, rolls their eyes, and continues prepping.
The Canlis brothers and our other judges are seated for dinner, all decked out in full on 1950 Mad Men attire. I am half expecting Tom to light up a Lucky Strike and Naomi to have a gold pen around her neck.
Dishes are served. Tyler's Dungeness crab salad (served in a cocktail glass!) is a huge hit, as is Lizzy's herring (served with a saltine!).
One restaurant diner notes that Chrissy's Canlis Special Salad is "um ... different" - thus proving Josh's suspicion that taking on that well known dish was a risky move.
Carla's squabs are being sent back left and right - undercooked, overcooked, inedible. One diner sends it back and asks for mahi instead. She tries to instruct the boys in the grill room but I think at this point her goose is cooked. Padma likes the squab but the other judges are fighting theirs with their forks, Tom recommends the breast bone should have been removed.
Dessert is served. Danyele and Eliza split the ice cream, sherbet, and parfait. Padma loves them all and declares the desserts more than anything "smacked of the 1950s." Back in the kitchen, Eliza says her mint sherbet is "like a menthol cigarette."
The judges call Lizzie, Stefan, Tyler and Kristen as the top dishes. When Padma announces they're the top four, Stefan grabs Kristen by the neck and kisses her cheek, then she smacks his chest playfully. (Dear Kristen, Really? Love, Mary Alice.)
For her perfectly executed mushrooms and onions, Kristen gets the prize. In his interview, Stefan throws two thumbs up and says, "I'm super happy! Congrats, babe!" And I am officially grossed out.
Worst dish privileges go to Chrissy, Carla, Josh and CJ — and two of them will be going home. Tom takes Carla to task for not keeping a close eye on her squab. Emeril and Hugh both feel Chrissy's salad was way overdressed. Josh and CJ blame their temperature problems on John's inept expediting.
Chrissy and Carla are asked to leave. They hold their own at the judges table but get choked up as they say their goodbyes. Carla leaves us with "It is a game, and I wasn't playing. I'm not good at games. I don't even play cards." I'll miss you, bella!
Up first: The aforementioned preview for Last Chance Kitchen with Jeffrey, Kuniko, Chrissy and Carla. The winner will return in the finale.
Up next week: Tom looks pained and announces an entire team is going home. And let's hope the whole Kristen-Stefan (Kri-Fan) thing gets nipped in the bud.

We are your Hawaii Team Building Specialists
Not in Hawaii? Team building activities near you
Finding and choosing an effective and engaging employee training program for your organization can be tough. The difficulty comes from not knowing which program or whose program is best, when many look the same.
Our Employee Engagement Consultants can make the task a lot easier for you. That's because our programs are designed to be effective, memorable and fun! Your group will be motivated, inspired and move ahead with skills they can use.
You've probably found a number of employee training programs follow the same teaching methods as a high school lecture. This "classroom" style of training involves getting all of your employees to sit in rows, listen to speakers and watch videos. There may be a guided question-and-answer session to get some engagement, but these are mostly passive programs.
Training programs like these often disappoint for three main reasons:
Organizations rely on people sharing and working together to achieve common goals and employee training programs should reflect this. We create programs that are in stark contrast to the "classroom style" and provide your group with a completely unique experience.
Avoid the pitfalls of programs that disappoint and miss the target. Chat with one of our Employee Engagement Consultants to explore an employee training program that helps you exceed your goals. Our Corporate Explorer Training team are expert facilitators who provide a money back guarantee that you and your team will be completely satisfied.
Contact our team at 1-877-713-7238 or [email protected] to discuss what you're looking for and experience for yourself why people who organize corporate events for America's most successful companies trust us with their team building activity needs. Whether you have a large group of 1,000 plus, or something much smaller, we can help. Need a detailed proposal right away? Get in touch today!

2 cups blackberries
1 1/2 cup heavy cream (divided use)
1 1/2 cups sour cream
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon gelatin
for the sauce:
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
zest of one lemon
for the panna cotta:
Pour 1/2 cup of cream in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with gelatin. Set aside. Pour 1/2 cup cream, sugar and blackberries in a saucepan. Cook until boiling, mashing the blackberries and stirring occasionally. Strain (mashing the berries to get all of the juice out) into the gelatin/cream mixture then pour in the remaining cream. Discard the pulp. Mix to dissolve the gelatin. Place the sour cream in a separate bowl. Strain the blackberry/gelatin mixture into the sour cream. Mix thoroughly. Pour into ramekins (the total yield is about 48 oz so divide accordingly).
Refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight to set. To unmold, dip the bottoms of each ramekin into hot water then invert onto a plate. If they are a bit stuck, run a knife along the edges before inverting.
for the sauce:
Bring all ingredients to a boil, cook until reduced to a sauce consistency. Allow to cool then drizzle over unmolded panna cotta.

The Social Gaming Market Will Explode To $5+ Billion By 2015 (ZNGA, EA, ATVI, DIS)
The US social gaming market will blow past $5.5 billion by 2015, according to a new report by BI Intelligence.
The social games market, including smartphones, will more than double from last year, where we estimate it was $2 billion.
Here are some highlights from the report, which is available today to BI Intelligence subscribers:
- Social games will disrupt the traditional gaming industry, by turning gaming into a service and making it free-to-play.
- Social games will break into the mainstream, as new kinds of games appeal to new audiences beyond today's, including hardcore gamers.
- Monetization will improve as more people pay and as social games advertising becomes valuable.
Beyond our estimates, the report includes an in-depth look at the trends in the market, an exclusive interview with two social gaming moguls, Mamba Nation founder Nicolas Gaume and IsCool Entertainment founder Mathieu Nouzareth, and a library of charts on our forecasts.

Joshua and I thought our new typechecking algorithm for higher-rank polymorphism was easy to implement, but I have to admit that we weren't 100% sure about this, since we've been immersed in this work for months.
However, Olle Fredriksson wrote us within one day of the draft going online with a link to his Haskell implementation. This was immensely reassuring, since (a) he implemented it so quickly, and (b) he didn't need to ask us how to implement it -- this means we didn't leave anything important out in the description!
In fact, Olle is technically the first person to implement the algorithm in the paper, since both Joshua and I have actually implemented variants of this algorithm for different languages. I'll try to write a small ML implementation to go along with Olle's Haskell code in the next few weeks. If you want to beat me to it, though, I have no objections!

Eddie Cibrian Gossip
Eddie Cibrian gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
This is not a problem
LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian flew back to LA from Houston yesterday after she sang the national anthem at the NCAA championship game. No problem here, right? Especially not with her legs? Totally fine! That's what she's insisting on her Twitter: dear lord! I do not workout too much nor do I starve myself. Full Story
Karma bones
New photos surfaced this week of a very, very, very skinny LeAnn Rimes out somewhere with Eddie Cibrian. See for yourself. The legs speak for themselves. Like Victoria Beckham wants these legs. Which means they're probably not the sturdiest legs in the world. LeAnn, who is a prolific tweeter and, if you ask me, uses it improperly ("ha ha, you're so right", or, "thanks for the love", or "omg that's so funny" is for text message, not Twitter), is trying to front like she's totally fine, insisting that she does indeed eat, posting photos of her breakfast, and claiming that she's healthy. Full Story
Grammy Anorexic BitchFace: LeAnn Rimes
Staying skinny won't make him stay. But you will learn that the hard way. LeAnn Rimes doesn't go anywhere these days without fiancé Eddie Cibrian. He doesn't want to miss a moment out there either. After all, that's why he upgraded right? And that's why he'll always be looking to climb. Full Story
Worst of 2010: LeAnn Rimes & Eddie Cibrian
So they're engaged now. After a year of constant arrogant bullsh-t, and a Shape Magazine cover controversy – click here for a refresher - and a previous engagement that they denied because they wanted to maximise their exposure, and now a year-ending "official" engagement when all the real stars are in hibernation, so as to leverage more fuel for what's sure to be an upcoming reality show… Would these two please F-CK OFF??? Needless to say, LeAnn has been documenting every moment of this happy news on her Twitter Full Story
How to pay for a wedding
So LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian are engaged. Oh that'll work out well. After all the Shape Magazine controversy and the complaints from readers over having a "homewrecker" on the cover and the editor's subsequent retraction of her initial apology –click here Full Story
You have to eat your sh-t for a while
LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian destroyed their marriages to be together. If it's worth it, you have to eat it. You have to eat the sh-t for a while. Willingly. And you don't f-cking complain, and you don't turn yourself into a victim, because you got what you want, so who's really losing? CSI: Miami is reportedly done Full Story
Cheaters one year later
It's been about a year since LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian were busted for stepping out on their marriages. Why not celebrate with an appearance at the ACM Awards? After all, cheating is condoned if in the end it was really about "love". These are two people who were meant to be. And theirs was a force that not even two marriages could tear asunder. Full Story
Holding hands, living in the light
LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian went out for dinner last night at Katsuya. The paps were waiting out front. There is a side door. It was suggested they could leave via the side door. Instead, they chose to go out the main exit holding hands. And happily. LeAnn fronted in the car like she didn't want to be photographed but whatever… They knew. Full Story
Cheaters are rewarded
Awesome. LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian met on the set of a tv movie of the week and started f-cking shortly thereafter. She'd been married to a maybe gaybe, he was married with 2 kids. Us Weekly broke the story a few months ago, the two denied it initially, but last month both ended their relationships and, obviously, feel comfortable enough now to publicly flaunt their love – seen yesterday at a golf course enjoying a full round. Full Story
Two cheaters, one scored wife
And everyone's a famewhore! It's a new nursery rhyme. Hollywood styles. So LeAnn Rimes marries a maybe gaybe, she soon finds out it's not maybe, and tries to hag out it for a few years, and then costars with Eddie Cibrian in a made for tv movie, and they can't control their horny, and they start f-cking on the sly, but end up getting caught by a closed circuit television at some restaurant, and he denies it because he's married with 2 young children, and his wife Brandi starts talking to the tabloids telling everyone LeAnn keeps coming after Eddie's cock, and now they've been busted, yet again, sneaking around at a friend's house, as recently as last Friday, which is why Brandi has decided to announce via Us Weekly Full Story
Thank LeAnn Rimes
Eddie Cibrian was busted for cheating with LeAnn Rimes back in March. Their Lifetime movie then scored super high ratings, and now Eddie has been confirmed as a series regular on CSI: Miami in the fall. Yay for infidelity! More acting gigs mean more money. And Eddie needs money. Because his wife chose to stay. Full Story

4 Building Blocks for Modernizing the Service Desk
For years, service desks and support centers have been optimizing the way they work. By doing so, they've been able to keep up with increasing demand for services, but not able to leap ahead. Now there is the promise of emerging, enhanced technologies to assist users and augment the efforts of the service desk to drive a significant ROI for the organization. With the right tools in place, the service desk can provide customers and employees with the rapid and personalized service they have come to expect as consumers, elevate the user experience, and reduce the time people spend trying to get answers or resolve issues.
This webinar will explain and explore the 4 pillars required to build the modern service desk:
1. Knowledge Management – Provide better user-facing, logic-based knowledge to make it easier for employees and customers to find the answers they need through effective self-help
2. Omnichannel Self-Service – Deliver users the knowledge they need, when and where they need it
3. Intelligent Automation – Leverage automation that works for you and drives process efficiencies
4. AI Augmentation – Leverage AI to enhance the digital experience for IT staff, employees, and customers to increase productivity.

5 Reasons Why Remote Support and Access Management Are Critical
Feb 11 2020
57 mins
Josh Streets (Scoreboard Group); Bryan Hood (BeyondTrust); Roy Atkinson (moderator)
The modern organization needs to provide a reliable, secure way for customers, vendors, and remote employees to both access the resources they need to do their work, and to receive support where they are, when they need it. HDI's annual research shows that Remote Control is the number 3 "must-have" for the support center. The research also shows that 39% of support tickets come from external customers and end-users.
In this webinar, you will learn why it is important to:
• Provide a mobile workforce with access and support
• Grant external third parties such as vendors and auditors access to the specific resources they need—and only those resources
• Provide full support to end users on multiple types of devices
• Ensure the security of your organization's data
• Minimize risk from unnecessary privileged accounts

Foresight Is 2020: Trends in Technical Support and Service Management
Jan 21 2020
61 mins
Roy Atkinson (HDI)
The 2010s were a decade of rapid-fire evolution in IT, technical support, and service management: from mobile devices to remote support, knowledge management to enterprise service management and ITIL4, countless technologies, processes, frameworks, and methodologies emerged to change the way IT gets done. It was an exciting, sometimes exhausting, decade…but what do the 2020s have in store for technical support and service management?
Based on HDI's industry-leading research and insights gained from our community, this webinar will highlight the trends we see on the horizon for technical support and service management as we roar into the 2020s:
• What's happening with staffing and training?
• Which technologies are on the rise? Why?
• What shifts are taking place with regard to frameworks and methodologies (ITIL4, Agile, etc.)?

Knowledge Management, Enterprise Service Management, and the Customer Journey
Dec 10 2019
61 mins
Roy Atkinson (HDI), Hannah Price (TOPdesk)
In 2019 research, HDI found that many lines of business are both creators and consumers of knowledge. Outside of IT and support, high percentages of HR, Facilities, Customer Service, Sales, Marketing, and Training units are all working with—and contributing to—the organization's knowledge. In 2018, HDI found that 32% of organizations were planning to adopt the principles and practices of service management in lines of business other than IT, in addition to the 27% who said they have already done so.
Why are so many organizations adopting enterprise service management (ESM)? HDI research found that 77% of organizations identified improving the customer experience as an influence for adopting this approach.
This webinar will explore:
- Why knowledge management should be at the heart of ESM
- How service management principles and practices affect the customer experience
- How the ESM journey and the customer journey are related

4 Building Blocks for Modernizing the Service Desk
Nov 19 2019
61 mins
Roy Atkinson (HDI), John Prestridge (EasyVista)
For years, service desks and support centers have been optimizing the way they work. By doing so, they've been able to keep up with increasing demand for services, but not able to leap ahead. Now there is the promise of emerging, enhanced technologies to assist users and augment the efforts of the service desk to drive a significant ROI for the organization. With the right tools in place, the service desk can provide customers and employees with the rapid and personalized service they have come to expect as consumers, elevate the user experience, and reduce the time people spend trying to get answers or resolve issues.
This webinar will explain and explore the 4 pillars required to build the modern service desk:
1. Knowledge Management – Provide better user-facing, logic-based knowledge to make it easier for employees and customers to find the answers they need through effective self-help
2. Omnichannel Self-Service – Deliver users the knowledge they need, when and where they need it
3. Intelligent Automation – Leverage automation that works for you and drives process efficiencies
4. AI Augmentation – Leverage AI to enhance the digital experience for IT staff, employees, and customers to increase productivity.

The Future of ITSM in Education, Public Sector and Healthcare
Sep 17 2019
61 mins
Roy Atkinson (HDI); Andrew Graf (TeamDynamix)
Massive tech shifts are taking place in education, public services and healthcare. Billions of dollars are being spent on smart cities initiatives, learning environments, virtual programs, and healthcare settings. As a consequence, IT leaders are looking for new ways to address the challenges that come with supporting this new technology. From service desks to change management to project oversight, IT teams are taking on more and more responsibilities, often without increased staffing.
One way institutions, agencies, and organizations have been able to keep up is through effective and wide adoption of IT service management processes. This approach alone isn't enough, however.
Making useful self-help available to end users is an effective approach to providing fast, reliable assistance without overtaxing service desks. The self-help system must be backed by proven knowledge management practices and user-friendly technology.
In this webinar, we'll discuss:
- IT service management process/practice adoption
- Self-service/self-help
- Knowledge management
- A "One Platform" approach to simplify work
This webinar will help you form your strategies and set your goals for the increasing importance of—and demands on—IT service and support.

Integrating Knowledge Management and Virtual Agents for Self-Service Success
May 21 2019
59 mins
Chris Chagnon (Worcester Polytechnic Institute); John Prestridge (EasyVista); Megan Selva (Moderator)
Knowledge management is more critical than ever. Advanced technologies, such as virtual agents, chatbots, and AI, require that organizations have knowledge organized and accessible to the "smart machines." One of the goals of knowledge management is to provide self-help for customers and end users. Organizations want to provide this kind of assistance, for reasons including ongoing cost savings and reducing contact demand on the service desk, but many have been met with mixed results, especially in terms of adoption.
What if, regardless of where users are—in a collaboration tool, on an intranet site, or elsewhere—knowledge was readily available and provided guided help through virtual agents, chatbots and other advanced technologies? The whole experience of accessing and consuming knowledge would be different, empowering people to get on about their work seamlessly.
In this webinar, we'll discuss 3 steps you need to consider to successfully integrate advanced technologies and knowledge management to raise the level of self-help support in your organization:
1. Adopt foundational AI capabilities focused on improving context and relevancy
2. Deliver knowledge experiences rather than knowledge articles
3. Make self-service available from collaboration platforms, websites, self-service portals, and more.
This webinar will help you form your strategies and set your goals for the acquisition and use of emerging technologies.

Keeping Remote Support Simple: The Key to Productivity and Engagement
Mar 19 2019
52 mins
Roy Atkinson (HDI), Kyle Turner (LogMeIn)
We all know that remote support is a critical piece of the support ecosystem. Keeping tools simple and easy to use, both individually and as a whole suite, is a key component to staff and customer engagement and satisfaction.
Whether we're talking about internal employee support or external customer support, making support as fast and easy as possible is essential. But support staff often have to have multiple screens open for multiple tools, and moving from one to the next can be frustrating and can contribute to human error. Integrated tools help to streamline the work and the workflow, save time for staff and customers, decrease effort, reduce human error, and save money.
What You Will Learn:
- Why remote control is one of the top three "must-have" technologies for successful support
- How "tool sprawl" gets in the way of effective, efficient support
- How simplicity helps across the board, with employee satisfaction and customer satisfaction
Who Should Attend:
- Service desk/support center directors, managers, supervisors, and team leads

The Impact of Cybersecurity on IT Response Teams: A Game Changer!
Nov 13 2018
62 mins
Vincent Geffray and Roy Atkinson
Ransomware, advanced persistent threats, and denial of service attacks—many initiated through "phishing"—will continue to frequently interrupt business and government operations. Across all industries, businesses see an uptick in cyberattacks frequency and damage to their organizations.
"One of the best services we can provide for our customers, whether they are internal or external, is keeping their personal information—and the information needed for the business—safe. The first line of assistance should also be the first line of defense." - Roy Atkinson, HDI
The support center should have clear guidance on how to avoid social engineering threats and phishing threats, as well as the ability—including the time—to educate users on why support may not be able to immediately help them, or why additional information might be required. Meanwhile, when hit by a cyberattack, organizations need to execute a clearly defined and agreed upon cross-functional response plan to mitigate the risks and minimize the disruption.
In this interview-style webinar, HDI's Roy Atkinson and Everbridge's Vincent Geffray will discuss the importance of the support center's role in cybersecurity prevention and response.
What you'll learn:
- How Cybersecurity Is Impacting Support
- Support's Role in Prevention
- How, When, and Why the Support Center Should Respond
Who should attend:
- Support center managers who need to be aware of the importance of support in cybersecurity
- IT directors who want to better understand responses and communications in the event of a cybersecurity event
- Anyone in IT service and support wanting to improve their understanding of the role of support in cybersecurity

Increasing Employee Satisfaction by Reducing Friction
Oct 23 2018
59 mins
Marie Ruzzo, Roy Atkinson (moderator)
Support centers track Time to Respond, Time to Answer, Handle Time, Time to Restore Service and other time-based metrics to make sure that end users are not needlessly tied up getting support, and that support analysts and technicians are providing assistance a rapidly as possible. Forrester says employees spend almost one-third of their time interacting with systems and applications. They want to be able to get on with their work with minimal interruption and they want to work where they are, when they can, from whatever device they choose. When they need assistance, they need it to be fast and minimally disruptive.
Frustration and delay strongly affects employee satisfaction and overall morale. Employee retention is tied directly to satisfaction, and turnover is expensive and time consuming. Lowering the friction involved in both providing and receiving assistance can keep employees working and more satisfied.

• Why analytics are important to service management and support
• What machine learning is and how it can enable faster, better, more accurate resolutions

ATLANTA (CNN/AP/Gray News) – Public health officials are blaming a spike in teen tobacco use on vaping and e-cigarettes.
In a new report this week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says there was a nearly 80-percent jump in e-cigarette use among high schoolers from 2017 to 2018.
Experts attribute the vaping increase to the exploding popularity of newer versions of e-cigarettes like Juul that use flavored nicotine pods.
"We were making progress, and now you have the introduction of a product that is heavily popular among youth that has completely erased that progress," said Brian King with the CDC.
The connection is showing up in data King and his colleagues analyzed from the 2011-18 National Youth Tobacco survey to estimate trends among high school and middle school students.
The researchers found that in 2018, 27 percent of high school students and 7.2 percent of middle school students said they used tobacco for one or more days in the month.
The report says 4.9 million middle and high school students used tobacco products in 2018.
Juul's popularity has been linked to aggressive marketing and its wide variety of flavors popular with youth.
A single Juul liquid nicotine pod can contain as much nicotine as a pack of cigarettes, "which can harm the developing adolescent brain," King said. Because teens' brains are still developing, they can be more susceptible to addiction.
Juul responded in a statement.
"We are committed to fighting underage use of vaping products, including JUUL products," Juul spokeswoman Victoria Davis said Monday.
The company adds it has stopped selling flavored Juul pods to retail stores, enhanced its online age-verification, and are continuously working to remove inappropriate third-party social media content.
The statement also said Juul strongly supports raising the minimum age for purchasing tobacco products to 21 years old.

First day of school duties for one MP delayed the government's swearing-in ceremony on Monday morning, but Julia Gillard's revamped ministerial line up can now assume their new roles.
Governor-General Quentin Bryce swore in the Prime Minister's new-look team including Brendan O'Connor who takes on the difficult immigration portfolio.
Before he was sworn in, Ms Gillard noted that the ceremony had been pushed back to allow Mr O'Connor to take his daughter Una, 5, to her first day of school in Melbourne.
''All the very best to you, Minister,'' Ms Bryce said to Mr O'Connor.
New Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus, who replaces Nicola Roxon after her surprise resignation, beamed as he took on the key legal role and a spot in cabinet. But the QC managed to confuse Ms Bryce by bringing his own pen.
''Oh!'' exclaimed the Governor-General as Mr Dreyfus ignored the pen provided.
Labor frontbencher Chris Bowen also smiled as he swapped immigration for the relatively quieter climes of tertiary education and small business.
Jason Clare was promoted to the cabinet, taking on Mr Dreyfus' old role as Cabinet Secretary while keeping his existing home affairs and justice portfolios.
Former military officer, Mike Kelly has been made Minister for Defence Materiel.
In wishing him well in the new job, Ms Bryce noted that Dr Kelly was taking on a role that was ''very close to your heart''.
Mark Butler added housing and homelessness to his already heavy workload with mental health and ageing and social inclusion.
Labor MPs Yvette D'Ath, Melissa Parke and Kelvin Thompson were sworn in as parliamentary secretaries.
A Labor caucus meeting in Canberra on Monday afternoon will decide who will replace Chris Evans – who resigned from the frontbench along with Ms Roxon – as Senate leader.
It is understood caucus will elect Communications Minister Stephen Conroy, from the Victorian Right, as the new Senate leader and Finance Minister Penny Wong, from the Left, will become Senate deputy.On Saturday, Ms Gillard said she expected to take her new-look ministry to the election on September 14.
As the team was sworn in, Labor woke up to more poor poll news on Monday.
In the latest Newspoll, the Coalition leads Labor, 56 per cent to 44 per cent on a two-party-preferred basis.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has also gained significant ground in the preferred prime minister stakes. Ms Gillard is still ahead, 41 per cent to 39 per cent, but the gap has narrowed from 45 per cent to 33 per cent in the January 11-13 poll.
On Monday afternoon Opposition Leader Tony Abbott told a meeting of his shadow cabinet that voters were now looking for a bit more from the Coalition. He said that for the past two years, people had expected the Coalition to hold the government to account.
"I think what people are now looking for is for a little bit more from us," he said. "They want us not so much to be an opposition [but] to be an alternative government."

— WWE Superstar Trent Baretta wrote the following cryptic message on Twitter last night after WrestleMania 28:
"This is the time of the year that you eat oysters until you realize that you don't like oysters."
Several fans responded and took it as Baretta complaining about his spot with the company.
— As noted before, TNA wanted WWE to mention them on the Hall of Fame ceremony in return for allowing Ric Flair to appear. WWE turned down that request but reportedly agreed to another one – a WWE talent appearing on a TNA DVD.
Details are sketchy right now but TNA wanted a WWE wrestler to come into their studio as a "talking head" and speak on one of their DVD releases. TNA asked for this in exchange for allowing Flair to appear on the WrestleMania 28 DVD.
