Oh What a Night & Some Exciting News!
Everyone was super-sweet and inclusive. I was totally nervous/ freaking out about meeting Margaret Russell (Mom & Grandmother- she's the Editor-in-Chief of Elle Decor Magazine ;) and she couldn't have been nicer!! (And yes, she's just as graceful & gorgeous in person as she is on TV & in pictures, if not more so.) But more details on Monday. Congratulations To Eddie & Jaithan on a HUGE win for Elle Decor!!
On another note, I'm insanely excited to tell you that Better Homes & Gardens is coming to shoot our house!!
It's a Christmas story so it'll be in the 2010 holiday issue. They're doing the outside, the entry, living room, dining room, kitchen and us. (I'm a little worried about the "us" part, as I have an extra 30 lbs on me right now from the pregnancy and when I see pictures of myself right now it looks like a "me" inside of a "me." So I'll need to either get over it or wear a sign that says "JUST HAD BABY." Think they'll mind?? ;)
Anyway, since we're travelling & have so much to recap on Monday, there won't be a formal Pure Organization Project for next week, but personally we're working on time management & figuring out our schedule like we talked about in Time (Or Lack Therof.) I'll post the readers' projects I've received later in the week. Have an awesome weekend!!!

FAN-tas-TIC, Lauren!! (Or, in the parlance of Jenny {MFAMB} - that just kicks ass!)
The publication is so well-deserved, and I couldn't be happier for you! I'm sure you are the only person who thinks you look anything but wonderful, but just ask BH&G to give you the "minus a few lbs photoshop special!"
Take Care!!

WOW. Congratulations Lauren!!!!!!!! I agree... YOU deserve this. Can't wait to see pics from your NY trip!
In response to the weight thing... it kinda made me like you EVEN MORE for being so honest. :) I hope you don't mind me sharing an article I read recently-- "Perfect Right Now" . I know, the title sounds a little sappy, but after reading it, I felt a renewed sense of HOPE for my embarrassed-to-admit-but-overly-negative body image.

That is so wonderful, Lauren! You're house is AMAZING and you are so talented. Well deserved recognition!!! The really nice thing about your home is not only is it beautiful, but it was designed with a smart budget. I think it takes true talent to pull that off - something you exude in all of your projects!
I'm thrilled you were able to celebrate with Eddie and Jaithan and also meet some other talents in the industry. Wow, this is your year!
P.S. You are so gorgeous - forget the imaginary 30 pounds. For goodness sake, you're the Grace Kelly of the interior design world!

Lauren, I am SO happy for you and have been thinking about you all last evening and when I woke up this morning!!! I read your post at the office yesterday but couldn't sneak in a reply (my monitor faces my doorway, so I don't get much time to sneak onto blogs in case my boss or colleagues walk in and I have a wall of windows facing the hall, so anyone can see me!).
ANyway, all about YOU! I think that is just AMAZING that you and Dave hopped over to NYC for the Eddie victory and you got to meet Margaret Russell!! That is mad! You are so lucky - I was telling David all about it this morning and we think that you are on the verge of becoming the next bog decorating discovery - with the Eddie connection and now meeting Maggie and then this BHG thing. WOW! I am so thrilled for you as though you were my own sister! I have been smitten with your decorating for a long time now and you juts have heaps of talent and wonderful taste. You will go far dear girl!
Congrats on the BHG thing - I hope we can get it here - I cannot always find it!!! Your house will be stunning in the photos and you will look great too! I bet you look gorgeous with 30lbs. Heck, I gained 22lbs since David and I met 5 years ago and I wasn't even pregnant. You have a great excuse and you are young and beautiful anyway so don't worry one bit!! You would look great in a paper sack. :)
Love and hugs to you (and Dave and boys). i am so excited!!! : )

CHICAGO — Bally Total Fitness is taking a close look at all its clubs nationwide after a drop in its third-quarter financials. By evaluating all of its existing operations, the fitness chain is looking to achieve an optimal club footprint and improve returns, says Barry Elson, chairman, in an investor conference call.
The board of directors, which recently shrunk to four members with the resignation of John Rogers Jr., authorized incremental spending of $2.5 million to upgrade 100 of the company's top clubs in major cities.
"We will direct the capital expenditure in those clubs that have a competitive advantage and growth potential going forward," Elson says. "This will be easier to solve as we finish our evaluation of the club footprint."
The chain also plans to sell its underperforming clubs and arrange sale-leasebacks to earn revenue. However, Bally leases more buildings than it owns, says Rick Caro, president of Management Vision, so the revenue earned might not go far. According to Dec. 31, 2005, club breakout numbers, Bally owns 46 health clubs and leases 363 clubs, says Matt Messinger, Bally spokesperson.
Franchising in select geographic areas is another part of Bally's strategy. Bally relaunched its U.S. franchise program in June and is focusing on cities where the company doesn't have a presence, such as Jacksonville, FL, where a new club will open next year. The company plans to open five clubs in 2007, three of which replace existing clubs. In 2008, Bally will open two clubs, which will both replace existing clubs, Messinger says.
During a recent investor conference call, Bally's management also announced that the company may enter in a joint venture agreement. Speculation has been that one potential player might be Planet Fitness, which recently bought World Gym. When asked on the investor call about that speculation, Elson would only say that Bally is talking to several parties, and it is premature to talk about any specific negotiations. Messinger also declined to comment beyond the public information available on the company's plans.
The changes Bally has proposed are a good start, Caro says, but the chain must solidify a strategy for marketing, pricing, staffing and programming and deal with debt due next October, Caro says.
"I'm hoping that they will be able to achieve a successful refinancing of the debt with respect to the subordinated notes, but until that happens, we'll take a cautionary view," he says.
Bally Third Quarter Financial Snapshot
A rise in expenses, unfavorable pricing and membership trends led to a third quarter net loss for Bally Total Fitness. Looking forward, Bally is fine-tuning its Build-Your-Own-Membership model, working to create a bottom-up rather than a top-down culture at the clubs and conducting member research to better target its marketing efforts.
The fitness operator's nine-month net revenues, operating income and number of members all declined, and the operating income for the third quarter of 2006 dropped 11 percent compared to the third quarter of last year.
Bally also experienced drops in different market segments — personal training revenue declined 1 percent and retail products revenue decreased 12 percent from the same period last year.
General and administrative charges increased due to the $5.4 million in severance payments to Paul Toback, Bally's former president and CEO.
Net revenues for the third quarter increased $0.5 million, and membership revenue increased 1 percent.

Oh, Ryan Gosling. As if we need yet another reason to love you, right?
The Nice Guys actor opened up about the fairer sex, and why he'll never lose touch with his feminine side, to ES Magazine and we couldn't be more smitten.
"I think women are better than men. They are stronger. More evolved. You can tell especially when you have daughters and you see their early stages, they are just leaps and bounds beyond boys immediately," he told the mag.
And when asked what percent woman he'd claim to be, he replied, "I'd say 49 percent, sometimes 47 percent, it depends on what day you catch me." Good to know.
Eva Mendes' significant other also admitted that he feels it's time for America to be led by a woman, without naming names.
"I think it needs a woman's touch. I've always liked women more. I was bought up by my mother and older sister…My home life now is mostly women. They are better than us. They make me better."
Speaking of women, how does the star feel about all of the fan hype surrounding him? Especially those silly memes?
"It's our time as men to be on the receiving end of the stick," he replies when asked about being objectified in the media.
"When my mother and I walked to the grocery story, men would circle the block in cars. It was very scary, especially as a young boy. Very predatory; a hunt."
Gosling's full interview with the magazine is in this week's issue of the Standard.

MVP! MVP!: Dominant Ortiz wins World Series prize
Recommended Video:
BOSTON (AP) -- David Ortiz headed to the plate, ready to hit for the final time in the World Series. St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina stood up, spoke softly to his pal and twice patted him on the side.
By that point, even the Cardinals were members of the Big Papi fan club.
Ortiz walked off as the MVP after Boston won 6-1 Wednesday night in Game 6, capping a week in which he spurred the Red Sox with a mix of power, patience and a most timely pep talk.
"I know I'm one of the forces for this ballgame and I like to take things personal," he said. "And that's been my whole career, a challenge."
"I wasn't trying to be the guy, but I know I got to get something done to keep the line moving," he said. "I don't even have to do anything today, I guess, the rest of the team took over."
Ortiz drew four walks and three of them were intentional, including the last one in the eighth inning after talking with Molina.
Overall, Ortiz piled up totals that not even slow-pitch softball players dream about: He reached base a whopping 19 times in 25 plate appearances.
"Hey, let me tell you," he said. "I was hitting well, but it wasn't like I was hitting pitches right down the middle of the plate. They were trying their best to get me out."
When the game ended, Ortiz hoisted reliever Koji Uehara over his shoulder. He then raised the gleaming gold trophy with one hand, the crowning achievement of his career.
Now a three-time champion, Ortiz is the last link to the Red Sox team that swept the Cardinals in 2004 and ended an 86-year title drought.
The sellout crowd broke into thunderous chants of "MVP! MVP!" each time Ortiz batted. Quite a turnaround for the 37-year-old slugger who badly slumped in the AL championship series.
Ortiz hit 11 for 16 (.688) with two home runs and six RBIs against the Cardinals, and just missed a grand slam when Carlos Beltran robbed him by reaching over the short bullpen wall.
Asked to describe Ortiz, manager John Farrell paused.
"Well, I'd probably rather let his bat do the talking, because it's pretty special," he said.
Ortiz also drew eight walks and legged out a few infield hits, helped by St. Louis second baseman Matt Carpenter playing way out in shallow right field. At one point, Ortiz tied a Series record by reaching base in nine straight trips.
"He's as hot as anyone you're going to see this time of year," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "We tried to make tough pitches in tough situations, tried to pitch around him at times."
Ortiz's .760 on-base percentage and batting average were the second-highest in Series history, trailing only Billy Hatcher's marks of .800 and .750 in 1990 for Cincinnati.
"David has been unbelievable his whole career this time of the year. It's his time of the year. I've been on the wrong side of it a few times," winning pitcher John Lackey said.
As Ortiz came up in the first inning, Molina and plate umpire Jim Joyce talked about him.
"This guy's unbelievable," Molina said on Fox audio.
"He's fun to watch," Joyce said.
Yet for all the impact he made swinging the bat in getting 11 of Boston's 41 hits -- or just standing there and watching the Cardinals pitch around him -- Ortiz made an equally important contribution with his words.
With St. Louis leading the Series 2-1 and the Red Sox scuffling in Game 4, Ortiz called his bearded band together for an impromptu huddle in the dugout.
Ortiz said he merely told the guys to relax, stay loose and appreciate the moment. His teammates told a different story after Boston rallied to win.
"It was like 24 kindergartners looking up at their teacher. He got everyone's attention and we looked him right in the eyes," said Jonny Gomes, who answered with a winning home run. "That message was pretty powerful."
That's also what the Red Sox expect from their Dominican-born thumper, known for his neatly tailored suits and dazzling diamond jewelry.
Whatever the Red Sox need, and whenever they need it, he's ready. When the Series shifted to St. Louis and there was no designated hitter, he adeptly moved from the DH spot to first base.
He did the same thing way back in the 2004 Series, and again in 2007 when the Red Sox swept Colorado.
As the Red Sox celebrated on the field after the final out, Ortiz considered what it meant to win a third title. Easy, he answered.
"That means I'm getting old," he said.

- Front diameter 110mm
PS-Rehousing Canon FD 24mm f1.4 S.S.C. aspherical or nFD 24mm f1.4 L with PL-Mount
With the PS-Rehousing you buy a conversion for your Canon FD 24mm f1.4 S.S.C. aspherical oder nFD 24mm f1.4 L lens.
The Canon FD lenses are very fast lenses. Very often the Canon FD focal lengths 14mm f2.8, 100mm f2, 135mm f2 and 200mm f2.8 are complemented by Canon K35 lenses (18mm, 24mm, 35mm, 55mm, 85mm).
The Canon FD 24mm L lens gets a PL-Mount or optional an interchangeable Lens-Mount System. Other exchange mounts are available after rehousing. (IMS lens mounts)
Attention: The Canon FD 24mm f1.4 S.S.C. aspherical oder nFD 24mm f1.4 L lens will be provided by customer.
If you do not own a Canon FD lens, you can contact us.
In some cases we can offer you a Canon FD lens or a Canon FD lens set inkl. rehousing and optic service.
We offer 12 months warranty on the rehousing parts.
Rehousing of Canon FD Lenses
P+S TECHNIK offers a Canon FD rehousing with new focus and iris mechanism. The lenses cover the full frame "VistaVision" format (24x36) and several focal lengths along with the 8K RED format (see also image circle charts). These exceptionally fast lenses with a standard 110mm front diameter after rehousing. The distance between aperture gear ring and focus ring remains the same throughout the entire lens series. In order to reduce the size of the housing, the lenses have different lengths. Canon FD lenses also have a wide range of focal lengths.
Canon FD vs. Canon K35
The lens character of the Canon FD lends itself to work perfectly with the Canon K35 lenses. Over the last years the Canon K35 lenses became very popular as well as very expensive. Often the Canon K35 lenses (18mm, 24mm, 35mm, 55mm, 85mm) are complemented by the Canon FD focal lengths 14mm f2.8, 100mm f2, 135mm f2 and 200mm f2.8. Less known is that the Canon FD lenses are very good and some of them have a very similar optical design and look as the K35. All our Canon FD rehoused lenses are ready for the bigger "full frame" sensor size.
Price for Canon FD
These lenses are still available for reasonable prices. The Canon FD glass costs about 20% of the price for Canon K35 lenses.
Lens Service
Lens service is not included in the rehousing.
P+S Technik offers complete lens service including iris service, cleaning, polishing, un- and re-coating, etc.
Sending Us Your Lenses

Escorts who see disabled clients: These are escorts that are ok seeing clients with physical disabilities. People with disabilities have needs and desires the same as the rest of us, yet it's more difficult for them to find others willing to engage in sexual activities with them. Listed below are a list of escorts who have said that they are more than happy to see clients with disabilities. Many have had experience with a variety of disabled clients while others are open-minded enough to try.
Every disability is different so please explain about your specific disability in the Message field when completing your Booking Request form. Different escorts may have more experience or feel more comfortable with certain disabilities while not with others. We've had disabled clients book some of us without informing us of their disability on the booking form only to have the escort caught off guard when she arrived. We've also had clients in wheel chairs book some of our most petite escorts which usually isn't a good idea if phyical strength is needed to help the client. The more information we have about your disability when you make the booking, the better we are at helping match you with the best escort.

Career Center
Recent Alumni Spotlight: Carolyn Worthge
February 29, 2012
San Mateo, California
The folks in 3CE caught up with Carolyn Worthge, over winter break to hear more about her experience working with the ONE Campaign as a Faiths Act Fellow with the Tony Blair Faith Foundation. Carolyn, originally from San Mateo, California, graduated from Lewis & Clark in May 2011 with a degree in Sociology/Anthropology and a minor in Music.
3CE: Tell us a little bit about your experience as a Faiths Act Fellow with the Tony Blair Faith Foundation.
Carolyn Worthge: The Faiths Act Fellowship brings together 34 people from different faith backgrounds to work in interfaith pairs at nonprofit organizations in the US, Canada, the UK, India, and Sierra Leone. Our goal is to show that despite what the media might tell us, faith can be a force for good in the world. There is a common call to service in each of the world's major religions, and our goal is to bring people together across faith lines to take action on the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. We focus primarily on global health and malaria, and create opportunities for people to take action both locally and globally by inviting people to join ONE and raise their voice to fight extreme poverty, volunteer with us through monthly interfaith service projects in DC, and donate money to save lives and fight malaria in Sierra Leone.
3CE: How did you find out about this opportunity?
CW: I found out about this opportunity during my search for a year-long fellowship opportunity during my senior year at LC. I knew I wanted to find something related to global health and development, and I loved the interfaith action angle. It was a great opportunity to work with some incredible organizations doing work that I cared about, so I submitted my application in December of last year in anticipation of graduation. I have admired ONE's work since I was in high school, so I am definitely enjoying the chance to work here!
3CE: What do value about your L&C liberal arts education now that you're out there in life beyond college?
CW: I'm finding the breadth of my education to be extremely valuable out here in "life beyond college." It is very interesting to see how I can apply what I've learned from the variety of classes I took. On the same day that I draw from something I learned in my SOAN Global Inequalities class, I am also thinking about what I learned about malaria in my Nutrition class, or something from an introductory Economics class.
3CE: Is this an opportunity that other recent graduates can apply for?
CW: Next year they will be recruiting a new cohort, and I would keep it in mind for people interested in interfaith and international development work trying to find a short-term, paid opportunity in the field. The Faiths Act Fellowship is an especially great way to gain access to some top-level nonprofits that do not have many entry-level positions open, while doing some very engaging work, and you can apply until you are 28 years old.
3CE: What would you tell students, if anything, about 3CE?
CW: The support of 3CE throughout the year helped me get the job! I can't say I was thrilled to give up a few days of my winter break to participate in the Senior Survival Seminar, but I know that the seminar helped develop my confidence amidst everyone's complaints about the job market. 3CE also gave me the chance to practice interviewing, which certainly helped when it came time for the real thing!
