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.

but since this is my first month - my 30 days ends on September 22. I have three catalog shows going on right now (my mom, my dentist and a friend at work) and then my first cooking show scheduled for the 12th of September.

I know normally in order to get paid on the 22nd of the month, you need to submit your shows by midnight on the 15th of the month. HOWEVER I do remember seeing that first time consultants, in their first 30 days - wouldn't get paid til the following month's "8th" day anyways right?

Also - the catalog shows all started IN august - they will be eligible for the August extra free products, right? since their show actually started IN august - but I will close them next week (the 8th, friend's and dentist's and the 10th, my mom's). My cooking show will close on the 15th. Which is all obviously BEFORE my 30 days date of the 22nd.

I guess my question is - for the first 30 days as a new consultant, "regular" date rules don't really apply - other than making sure that AUGUST parties are "closed" before the 15th of the month - correct?

Just want to make sure I told my hosts correctly - as I did print off the August monthly host specials for the catalog shows - so they may qualify for the "more free products"...

On This Day In History...

...in 1969, the first modern ATM in the United States went online in the United States at Chemical Bank in Rockville Center, New York. It was only capable of doling out cash, it took until 1971 for the next generation of ATM to be able to be an automated teller. At the time, bankers were less than enthusiastic about the machines, since the operation cost per year was about $8,000 more than a human teller. Of course, that is no longer true as the cost of machines has plummeted (as all high tech devices do) and today, they are everywhere including convenience stores, casinos and cruise ships. It is estimated that about 1.25 million ATMs are online with another going online every five minutes. Once bankers discovered they could charge fees for ATM use, they became even more popular with banks. Enterprising crooks found ways to beat the machines, from the crude muggings as people walked away from ATM's to high-tech thievery with phoney machines or a little card reader attached to a legitimate ATM that steals card numbers. It is estimated that more than 170 million Americans over 18 have an ATM card and use it eight times a month. (The first ATM was actually conceived in 1936 and was placed in 1939 as a cash-dispensing machine. It was not at all popular and was removed from service.)


The first ATM is generally accepted as
going online at Barkley's Bank in 1967.

...in 1666, in the wee hours, a fire broke out in the bake shop of Thomas Farriner, on Pudding Lane in London, England. ("Pudding" was a mideaval term for entrails. Pudding was hauled from butcher shops to garbage barges on the Thames River, along this lane.) The fire quickly spread to the warehouses on Thames Street and soon London was a raging inferno. Officials tore down buildings attempting to create fire breaks but to no avail. Light from the fire could be seen 30 miles away. By September 5, the fire began to slow and on September 6, it was under control. Flames burst forth again on September 7 in the legal district but when the flames reached stores of gunpowder, the resulting explosions extinguished the flames. When it was over, 13,000 houses, hundreds of public building and at least 90 churches, including St. Paul's Cathedral, were destroyed. 100,000 people were left homeless but miraculously, only 16 people died. Many people had died in the plague of 1665, and the fire had the side benefit of purging London of the plague and it evolved as a new city.

Great Fire of London.

In 1986, members of the Worshipful Company of Bakers gathered on Pudding Lane and unveiled a plaque that acknowledged that Thomas Farriner caused the great fire of 1666. The bakers apologized for the fire being started by one of their own. (The guild enforced rules, including proper weight of bread loaves. In order to assure a customer of receiving the proper weights, an additional loaf would be added to an order, giving rise to the phrase, "Baker's Dozen.") Speaking of fires...

...in 1923, fires raged out of control in Tokyo in the aftermath of a massive earthquake. Over 143,000 people died in the disaster that is known both as the Great Kwanto Earthquake and the Great Tokyo Fire. The fire, caused by the earthquake, caused more deaths than the earthquake, similar to the circumstances that destroyed San Francisco, California in 1906. There were so many aftershocks and so many fires that conditions were perfect to create a firestorm. (A firestorm includes fire tornadoes, caused by the tremendous amounts of oxygen sucked into the fires, that create windstorms of fire.) As in San Francisco, fighting the fires was an exercise in futility as water mains had been broken in the earthquake. Thousands were saved when a cruise ship took them out to sea. The Imperial University Library lost some of the world's rarest and oldest books. Frank Lloyd Wright had designed The Imperial Hotel to survive earthquakes - it survived even though it sank two feet below grade. About 60% of Tokyo was destroyed, about 80% of Yokohama was destroyed. Some Japanese blamed Korean scapegoats for the fires and murdered hundreds of innocent Koreans following the disaster.

...in 1959, after Robert McNamara killed the Edsel, he promoted development of a compact car called the Falcon. It was introduced on this date in the first nationwide closed-circuit televised news conference. The Falcon took the market by storm and was the basis of a pickup truck (Ranchero) convertibles, station wagons and sedans. A television campaign featuring Charles Schulz's Peanuts characters proclaimed the Falcon as America's Economy Champ. A few years later, the Falcon platform was the basis of the Mustang, another car that caught the market unaware and spawned a new category, the Pony Car. McNamara would leave Ford to become President Kennedy's Secretary of Defense, causing many to wonder who got the better end of that deal - history tells us that it was probably Ford Motor Company.


The 1960 Ford Falcon

A special commercial spot, featuring Peanuts and a dancing Snoopy, was aired to introduce the 1961 version of the Falcon. You can see it here on YouTube. (It's worth it just to see Linus, Pigpen and Snoopy. You might recognize the voiceover as that of Paul Frees, one of the most prolific voice actors in the business. He was numerous voices for Disney (like Ludwig von Drake) and the Ghost Host in the Haunted Mansion. also the voice of Boris Badenov from Rocky.)

...in 1944, Lt. j.g. George Herbert Walker Bush was flying a TBM Avenger Torpedo Bomber in support of Marines who were invading Iwo Jima, when his plane was hit by enemy fire. A son of a Senator, used to wealth and privilege, Lt. Bush did not shirk his responsibilities and enlisted in the Navy at the age of 18. He was the youngest pilot in the Navy. Lt. Bush had the task of censoring mail from the enlisted men under his command, to which he said, "I learned about the diversity of our great country."


Lt. j.g. George Herbert Walker Bush in his TBM Avenger.
(From the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library.)

His mission on September 2 was to neutralize a Japanese radio station on nearby Chi Chi Jima. His plane was hit by enemy fire and he ordered his two crewmen to bail out - Radioman 2nd Class John Delany died when his chute did not open. Substitute gunner Lt. j.g. William White also perished. Lt. Bush continued his run and scored several hits on his target before crashing into the Pacific Ocean. "We were trained to complete our runs no matter what the obstacle," he later said. Lt. Bush was picked up by a submarine and was assigned another aircraft. He flew 58 missions in the Pacific Theater and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. Many years later, President George H.W. Bush would say his combat experience "...broadened my horizons..." and made a real impact on his Presidency. President Bush was later asked about the Chi Chi Jima incident by James Bradley while he was researching his second book, Flyboys. (James is the son of John Bradley, one of the six who raised the flag on Mount Surabachi on Iwo Jima.) Mr. Bradley asked President Bush if he ever thought about his two crewmen, John Delany and William White. "Every day," was his simple reply.

That's it. That's all we know as of 12:01 AM, EDT.

(By the way, if you haven't read them, I highly recommend James Bradley's books, Flags of Our Fathers and Flyboys. If you've seen Clint Eastwood's movie version of Flags of Our Fathers but not read the book, you really need to read the book and see what was left out of the movie - and why it had to be left out. I can tell you that I understand far more about my own father now, after reading his books. They are an incredibly important historical lesson for all Americans.) ]]> The_Kitchen_Guy http://www.chefsuccess.com/f18/morning-update-september-2-2010-a-64022/ http://www.chefsuccess.com/f18/weekend-sale-help-64021/ Thu, 02 Sep 2010 02:17:54 GMT Ok...

The reason: First I thought the whip part on the bottom was quite big, bigger than I thought it would be. I have tall, skinny glasses and the bottom part (coil) is the same size as the bottom of my glasses! How is that supposed to "whip" your chocolate milk up? I'll tell ya...it just didn't work, I couldn't get the chocolate to mix with the milk. So, I just used a regular spoon and that did the trick. (FYI: I was using Nesquick ;) ) I was bummed because I choose a spoon to mix my chocolate milk over a PC product!

Is it just meant more for smoothies and stuff, where you have thicker things in it that need to be whipped? But even if that's the case, the bottom coil is still the same size as my glasses and so it doesn't produce a swirling, mixing motion. Does that make sense? I really feel they need to redo the Mini Whipper and make the bottom coil smaller.

On This Day In History...

...in 1972, Bobby Fisher became the first American to win the International Chess Tournament. He is considered to have been one of the most brilliant chess minds in the world. He won his first tournament at the age of 13. At 14, he started playing in eight US Chess Championships, winning all eight. He swept the international tournaments, beating Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union, considered to be a Cold War victory. He stopped playing tournament chess in 1975, coming out of retirement in 1992, when he won a rematch with Spassky in Yugoslavia. Since Yugoslavia was under strict embargo, he had a run-in with the US government and he never returned to his native country. He died in 2008 as a citizen of Iceland.

...in 1989, Congress passed legislation requiring that all new cars be equipped with air bags. Naturally, after being proven to save lives, the air bags came under fire when small children were inured by air bags. Air bags use a small exposive device to deploy and can accelerate at a speed of 200 mph, so now, children are required to sit in the back seat, away from the air bags.


A crash sensor determines is airbag deployment is necessary
and if so, fires a small explosive charge to launch the bag. It fills
quickly with nitrogen to absorb the impact of your body, then
quickly deflates to allow rescue.

...in 1894, the town of Hinckley, Minnesota was completely destroyed by a forest fire, killing 440 people in the area. The area had been thoroughly logged using a technique called "slashing" that left behind enormous amounts of wood debris. Lumber yards were set very close to rail lines, where sparks from passing locomotives could easily ignite dry tinder. Drought conditions in 1894 set the stage, and on Sept 1, fires broke out near the rail lines and spread north. 350 people climbed aboard a train that had to pass through the fire but made it safely to West Superior, Wisconsin. Many residents made for the swamps, many perished by drowning. Others dived into a gravel pit that had filled with water to survive. 300,000 acres of woodlands burned with the town. 228 people died in Hinckley, at least 212 died in the surrounding area, including 23 Ojibwa. (Watch this space for October 8, when you will read about the worst fire disaster in recorded history, and it didn't happen in Chicago.)


Hinckley, after the fire.

...in 1959, Elizabeth Taylor signed with 20th Century Fox to make the blockbuster, Cleopatra. (You learned about her a few days ago.) Taylor signed for the unheard of sum of $1 million to play the role. She made her first film in 1942, There's One Born Every Minute at the age of 10, she made history with Mickey Rooney in National Velvet and successfully made the jump from child actress to adult siren in films like Father of the Bride and A Place In The Sun. Taylor was born - pay attention to this - in England, of American parents. She is a subject of England, and along with Julie Andrews, was granted the title of Dame, by Queen Elizabeth II on New Year's Eve, 1999.


The film National Velvet, launched her career, Cleopatra with Richard Burton, made her into an icon.

...in 1985, the wreck of the Titanic was found in it's resting place, about 400 miles east of Newfoundland. This all happened about a decade after Clive Cussler's Raise The Titanic! made the best seller lists. The ship was found by a joint venture of the French and United States.

...in 1864, Confederate General John Bell Hood evacuated Atlanta, as General William Tecumseh Sherman and the Union Army was about to cap a four month march to capture the Rebel's most vital supply center. Hood's army set fire to the Confederate munitions dumps to prevent the Union army from utilizing it. Sherman continued to hold the city against Hood's attacks until November, when Sherman began his infamous march to the sea. Sherman's orders were to burn anything that would be of value to the Confederate army, such as munitions makers, clothing mills and railway yards. The fire raged out of control and soon Atlanta was consumed by the fire. On the march to the sea, anything that would be of value to the Confederates was also destroyed. The war came to an end just a few months later.
