I gave her a mini catalog of new products. I said: you were a maybe at Christina's party... She said she brings her 2 girls to shows & she goes to parties her friends have and that's usually about an hour. But, she's having a tough time committing to having a party that would be about 3 hours from time I get there to time last guest/me leaves. I need help with finding a show that would work for her.
I told her about "Express Shows" where the "meal" is already made, we go through the catalog and visit. What else does everyone suggest?

At the end of the show, they always have a shot of the new home owners having a celebration party or gathering in their new home and last night, this couple's end of show shot had them having a little outdoor meal with their small kids. It didn't take me but just a second to recognize the plates they were using - the Tiles Small Square Plates that are currently in the outlet.
I have a set of these plates and truly love them. I just thought it was pretty cool to see our product on tv like that - and to be able to recognize it so quickly. ]]> taterbug http://www.chefsuccess.com/f18/tiles-small-square-plates-64061/ http://www.chefsuccess.com/f52/mini-catalog-label-booths-64060/ Fri, 03 Sep 2010 18:04:08 GMT Does anyone have a label that they put on their Mini catalogs for booths/fairs/festivals?

I'm wondering if you could help me. Did PC discontinue the deep dish stone baker? (not the DCB). I have a customer looking for it, and I'm afraid it was discontinued...it's in the summer catalog but not in the new fall catalog. If it is discontinued, is there any way to still get it?

I'm only about 3 months in, so I'm still learning.

I lost my last PC dollars because I couldn't close the party on the 90th day and didn't even realize it until the 91st day (in my brain it didn't click that August had 31 days, not 30 and my last day was the 30th.... I was calculating my last day as being before Sept 1st... HUGE DUM DUM HERE!!!) ... so that $50pc could have been used for new materials, but is gone.

What can I do with my old Spring/Summer stuff? The order forms say $4.25 for shipping, the catalogs all have new prices, the recruiting materials don't include the mini-kit etc. I feel like I wasted SO much on them being that I didn't even hardly put a dent in using them.

I did have over 50 mini-catalogs that I just mailed out for a Sept show. I just couldn't waste them! I put a sticker on the front that said "See the NEW fall products and NEW PRICING on my website XXXXX"

But what does everyone do with the old stuff, and what are the necessities when buying the updated materials?? ]]> Business Tips originalandrea http://www.chefsuccess.com/f12/what-do-outdated-paper-supplies-64053/ http://www.chefsuccess.com/f41/syncing-p3-shows-website-64051/ Fri, 03 Sep 2010 13:59:22 GMT Personal Website...]]> Hi,

I just got my website this week and set it up and now I want to enter my first September show and have the info be 'mirrored' on both my site and my P3 database.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong (or if it's me). I set up a show in P3 and then selected Tools > Personal Website Synchronization. It goes through the process but the show doesn't show up on my site.

So I tried creating the show on my site and then going to P3 > Tools > Personal Website Synchronization and the same thing happens. Show doesn't show up in P3.

Has anyone else had this problem? And do the steps I'm following sound incorrect?

Thanks for your help-

On This Day In History...

...in 1783, the American Revolution officially came to an end with the signing of the Treaty of Paris. Representatives from France, Great Britain, Spain, and the new country of The United States of America met to sign the treaty, in which Great Britain formally recognized the indepent nation status of the former colonies. The boundaries of the new country were agreed upon in the treaty, Florida on the south, north to the Great Lakes, and the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River. During negotiations, Benamin Franklin demanded that Great Britiain cede Canada to the United States, a proposal that (obviously) never came to pass. Fishing rights were determined, however, and after the details were ironed out, the treaty was signed by all nations and ratified by the Continental Congress on January 14, 1884.


Benjamin Ward painted the delegations to the
Treaty of Paris, but the British delegation refused to
pose, so the painting was never completed. The
Americans were John Jay, John Adams, Benjamin
Franklin, Henry Laurens and William Temple Franklin.

...in 1777, the Stars and Stripes (reportedly) flew for the first time, over a battle between General William Maxwell's troops against a force of Hessian mercenaries and British regulars. The rebels were chased back to General Washingon's main force at Brandywine Creek in Pennsylvania. The Continental Congress had defined a new flag of 13 red and white stripes with thirteen stars on a blue field, representing a new constilation. Legend says Betsy Ross designed and sewed the new flag but there is little evidence to support or disprove the story. On June 14, 1877, the first Flag Day was observed in Ozaukee County, Wisconsin to observe the 100th anniversary of the flag, but it was not until 1949 that Congress got around to making June 14 the official day of observation. (There is some disagreement between historians about the dates that the American flag first flew.)


Did Betsy Ross really sew the
first American flag? There is some
controversy over that, too.

...in 1935, British speed demon, Sir Malcolm Campbell, broke his own land speed record at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, in his 2,500 hp Bluebird. He had set the record of 133.788 mph earlier in 1935 but on September 3, he became the first person to exceed 300 mph, setting the mark at 301.129 mph. He retired from land speed record racing but went into water speed racing, and set a mark that he held to his death at the age of 63 in 1948. The land speed record today, set at Bonneville, is 763.035 mph set by Andy Green, another Bristish subject. (The land speed record is for self propelled, four wheel vehicles on earth, not steel rails nor frozen lakes.)


Malcolm Campbell and the Bluebird.

...in 1954, the last new radio episode of The Lone Ranger aired on the ABC Radio network. The series had moved to television and there just wasn't any demand for the radio version of the program. One trivial fact that is relatively forgotten is that The Lone Ranger spawned a spin-off series. The Lone Ranger's nephew, Britt Reid, led a double life and with his sidekick, Kato, the Green Hornet fought crime in the 20th Century as his uncle had in the 19th Century. The series originated on WXYZ radio in Detroit, on January 30, 1933. It was the brainchild of George W. Trendle and Frank Striker and the only outstanding mystery is the meaning of the term, Kemosabe. Snooping investigators found that there used to be a summer camp in Michigan named Camp Ke-Mo-Sa-Be. You be the judge.


Clayton Moore is the best
remembeered of all the actors
who played the Masked Man. Once
he played the part, he was forever
typecast and did little other work.

...in 1900, inventor Charles Wisner drove his home-built automobile in the Flint, Michigan Labor Day Parade. It was the first of millions of automobiles that would be built in Flint, second only to Detroit in auto production those early, heady days of the automobile industry. David Buick began building cars there in 1903, the Fisher Brothers built automobile bodies and in 1908, William Crapo Durant's General Motors consolodated the Flint automotive industries. (At one time, the Buick plant in Flint was the second largest industrial complex in the world, second only to Henry Ford's Ruver Rouge Plant in Dearborn, Michigan.) Today, with plants closing, Flint has fallen on hard times.

That's it. That's all we know as of 1:01 AM, EDT. ]]> The_Kitchen_Guy http://www.chefsuccess.com/f18/morning-update-september-3-2010-a-64048/
