This cookie is a nice variation on the classic double chocolate chip.
- 1/2 cup butter (one stick)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp peppermint
- 1 cup flower
- 1/4 cpu unsweatened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Soften butter and mix with eggs, sugar, peppermint and vanilla
- Mix flower, salt, baking soda, and cocoa in a separate bowl
- Beat in the dry ingredients
- Form balls on a cookie tray and bake for 8-10 minutes. Underbake slightly so the cookies are chewy
Tip: I've found that I'll eat these cookies far quicker than I really should. In order to ration the cookies, I will mix up a double batch, and freeze the balls of dough. Once the dough is frozen, you can place the balls in a ziplock bag. The cookies can be baked from frozen by adding 2 minutes to the baking time and last a few weeks. Cookies can then be baked in small batches. I can't tell any difference between cookies from frozen dough or fresh dough.

Burn After Reading (US - BD)
Most of you might want to burn Gabe Powers' review before reading it...
After nearly snagging the Best Picture Oscar and finding themselves even more critically acclaimed than usual, the Coen Brothers made cult fav Raymond Chandler spoof The Big Lebowski. After a bit more multi-genre dabbling they scored writing, directing and Best Picture Oscars, and maybe the best critical acclaim ever with No Country for Old Men. The logical flow-up would be, of course, another spoof. This time the twitchy auteurs take aim at espionage, cleverly poking fun at the more beloved elements of the paranoid genre.
Being a Coen Brothers' film, Burn After Reading isn't a straight spoof, it's more of a filmic deconstruction. The 'top secret' intel that leads to all the physical carnage isn't nearly as important as say, nuclear launch codes, the Pelican Brief, or even the Colonel's secret recipe. Despite their egos, none of the characters are of any particular interest to the CIA, FBI, NSA, or even the IRS. Cases of surveillance are either missed entirely, giant misunderstandings, as in The Big Lebowski, or questionably existent at all, and in true Coen Brother's nature, the gratuitous espionage action is stated plainly, and uncomfortably realistic.
Usually a spy movie's spies (even those featuring 'amateur' spies) are behind the plot, but clever enough to keep things moving. Burn After Reading's cast is in a state of constant confusion, though very few of the characters seem to carry the capacity to understand anyway. This marks yet another case of the Coens sticking out of element characters in over their heads. In Raising Arizona two country bumpkins kidnap a baby and find themselves chased by a hellish bounty hunter. In The Hudsucker Proxy an idiot savant is placed at the head of a multi-million dollar corporation. In The Big Lebowski The Dude is accidentally involved in a multi-million dollar kidnapping. Barton Fink is likely the most extreme version of this concept, as Fink is never in on the plot and is particularly ostracized.
Though the most direct comparison made within the Coen's universe is to their studio debut, Blood Simple. Blood Simple is not a comedy, and it's not a spoof, but the two films still contrast very well. Both feature a duo of bumbling blackmailers (one portrayed by Francis McDormand in each case) who quickly find themselves leagues over their heads, and are quickly herded to fickle and volatile places. In a show of storytelling improvement, though, the Coen's up the ante on sheer quantity of fully-fleshed characters. Then, in true revisionist's nature, they make most of them out as oafish idiots, rather than skilled practitioners. Blood Simple had an undeniably dark atmosphere, which is sort of quaint after about ten years of the Brothers snidely good natured downers. Burn After Reading follows this tonal suite.
The dialogue is snappy, but Burn After Reading is more naturally stated, and the humour depends more on performances than words. Brad Pitt was the standout for most fans, as the pretty boy almost always works best as a quirky character actor. George Clooney does a great job lampooning his playboy image and his Syriana and Michael Clayton roles. John Malkovich doesn't push his craft too far beyond his usual limits, but is overwhelmingly hilarious at each screaming turn. Of the entire ensemble, I'd actually like to see McDormand walk away with all the acting nominations. I know she's played similar characters before, but she's just such a peach.
The Coen Brothers are overwhelmingly visual filmmakers, and they often make a concerted effort to change up their looks. A lot of good things can be said about James Cameron's love of cool blues, Ridley Scott's use of high contrast, or Guillermero del Toro's detailed golds, but directors that can still have a recognizable voice through entirely different physical means. For O Brother, Where Art Thou the Brothers used the magic of digital grading to de-saturate
Burn After Reading is a pretty visually docile film for the Coens. The angles aren't revolutionary, the camera movement is mostly subtle, and the colour schemes are pretty realistic. The pallet is mostly stylized in sense of shadow, sort of aping the pseudo-Noir look of late '90s political thrillers. The scenes that take place at the fitness club are the film's brightest, to the point of white flair-out. Throughout the rest of the film colours are solid and evenly blended despite the harsh shadows. Details are wonderfully sharp; I'm sure much to Francis McDormand's chagrin in her plastic surgeon's office introduction.
One of Burn After Reading's most obviously satirical elements is its big time, Bourne Identity meets The Rock score. The score, with its booming kettle drums, and brutal strings really dominates the DTS-HD Master Audio track, and is by far the mixes most aggressive element. The channels are rarely absent of production sound of some kind, but the sound effects aren't particularly over-the-top or aggressive. The sound is natural, with crisp, but not over-modulated dialogue, and warm, subtle effects. Most of us aren't going to find ourselves slapping our knees over this one, but it's more or less without error, and does a good enough job of mimicking the sound of the films it satires.
Not unlike just about every single Coen Brother's DVD (or Blu-ray), Burn After Reading features very few extras. 'Find the Burn' is a five and a half minute interview/behind the scenes featurette that doesn't really shine much light on the top secret inner workings of the movie. Ethan Coen does call the film their version of a Tony Scott movie, which I found funny. 'DC Insiders Run Amuck' is a similar, twelve minute featurette concerned with the cast and their characters, and the re-decoration of New York to look like DC. Brad Pitt is missing from the interviews. 'Welcome Back George' is a brief, three minute look at the Coen-Clooney connection, and the character Clooney plays in this particular collaboration.
If the ultimate criticism of a Coen Brothers film were a cannon comparison I'd put Burn After Reading somewhere around The Hudsucker Proxy—a very good movie, up to standards, but not a classic. If you're looking for something to blow your mind as effectively as No Country For Old Men you might be disappointed, but when you punch out a movie a year lately like the Brothers do, you can't expect perfect masterworks.

Fantastic dark comedy film making fun of US intellagence agencies. Brad Pitt definitely stole the show. I laughed throughout the entire film. Raising Arizona is still my favorite Coen film.
One of the best movies I have seen in a LONG time. Brad Pitt has reached optimal awesomeness.
This is film falls in the middle of the Coen`s cannon of work... and it`s still one of the best films of the year!
I laughed at this film. Clooney's basement invention was disturbing and funny while Brad Pitt was awesome in this one.
Loved it. I love the crowd of uneducated teenagers there to see Brad Pitt, and have no idea what they are watching. They were so lost in about 10 minutes, that I had a nice laugh. This is a must buy for me.
I just caught this over the weekend on screen. It was an amazing movie, full of the Coen Brothers' quirky characters. I love how there is a whole sinister feel to what Clooney is upto when making his chair. It adds nothing to the actual plot of the movie, but like the whole Mike Yanagita scene from Fargo, it somehow adds to the general feel we get for the characters. The unveiling of the chair was one of the funniest scenes I had seen in recent times and I laughed the loudest in the theatre! Brad Pitt really did blow me away. Seeing him play such a young guy, after seeing him in The Assassination Of Jesse James... and Babel really shows how good he is. On the whole, the movie was a welcome change after the downer that No Country for Old Men was. Still, I may not watch it as much as I watch the Dude... that may be the most watchable Coen Brothers' movie!
I just saw this movie the other night. The Big Lebowski is by far my favorite film of all time. This review was pretty spot on... I forget who shot this one (not Roger Deakins) but the style fit. JK Simmons was hilarious in his small supporting role. I love how the Coens can take a cast of stars and get them out of their comfort zone and into these zany characters. I wonder what a remake of the movie CLUE would look like if written and directed by the brothers and shot by Deakins. I'd pay ten bucks to see that....
It was a good movie. I hadn't seen any of the Coen's movies so I didn't know what to expect.
i loved this film. i hate the trailer. the trailer makes it out to be a comedy, which it definately isnt. its got its funny moments (like 3), and in the end everything thats happened is funny. but its a drama.
Great review. I'm looking forward to watching this on Tuesday PM when Netflix drops it in my mailbox.
Some viewers are not giving this film a fair shake. Comparisons to No Country For Old Men are very unfair, that is an Oscar winning film. This is a great and fun dark comedy well done by the Coens.
I loved it..every bit of it....
I love this movie because of the fact that the characters in here think they know what they're doing but they really don't which leads up to many consequences.

OpenSecrets.org Unveils 2010 'Big Picture' Analysis
It was the most expensive midterm election in history. Spending by outside groups spiked in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. And a wave of anger propelled a GOP takeover of the U.S. House of Representatives, ousting more incumbents than any time since 1948.
And, now, a new page launched on OpenSecrets.org gives you the highlights of the 2010 election, so you can see for yourself who gave money, who got money and much, much more.
According to the Center's research, the average winner of a U.S. House race in 2010 spent $1.4 million.
That's about one-seventh of what the average winner of a U.S. Senate race spent, which clocked in at $9.8 million.
For the House, that's a slight increase above the average $1.37 million spent during the 2008 election. And for the Senate, spending this time around was higher than in 2008 by about $1.3 million, but close to the average amount spent during the 2006 election, the Center's data shows.
Meanwhile, House Tea Party founder Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) ran the most expensive campaign, high above the average, at more than $11.6 million.
And even though money often matters, the most expensive Senate campaign didn't result in a win.
Republican Linda McMahon of Connecticut, the former chief executive officer of World Wrestling Entertainment, spent more than $50 million of her own money to finance her unsuccessful campaign. McMahon ultimately lost to Democrat Richard Blumenthal.
During the 2010 election, 79 House races were that close. That's nearly twice as many of "close" races in 2008. Not since the 1996 election cycle have so many House races been so competitive. (On average, since the 1990 election, 59 House races have resulted in less than a 10 percent margin of victory.)
Candidates may donate $2,000 from their own campaign accounts to other candidates, and up to $5,000 from their leadership PACs, per election.
Meanwhile, then-House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) gave about $1.47 million and then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) gave about $1.16 million.
Individuals contributing more than $200 to candidates, parties or PACs from the District of Columbia collectively gave $262 million — more than any state.
Donations from California residents ranked second, at $196 million. New York, Texas and Virginia were also in the top five.

JoeAnn Hart lives in Gloucester, Massachusetts, America's oldest seaport, where fishing regulations, the health of the ocean, and the natural beauty of the world are the daily topics of wonder and concern. She is the author of the novel Float (Ashland Creek Press, 2013) a wry tale of financial desperation, conceptual art, insanity, infertility, seagulls, marital crisis, jellyfish, organized crime, and the plight of a plastic-filled ocean. Her first novel Addled (Little, Brown, 2007) is a social satire that intertwines animal rights with the politics of food.
JoeAnn's essays, articles, and short fiction have appeared in a wide variety of literary journals and national publications, and she is a regular contributor to the Boston Globe Magazine. Her work has won a number of awards, including the PEN New England Discovery Award in Fiction. She and her husband tend a few farm animals, including two donkeys from Save Your Ass Rescue. In fair weather, Hart rows a dory around the harbor.
Float was a finalist for the Dana Award in the Novel, and the first two chapters, slightly modified, won the Doug Fir Fiction Award for a short story relating to environmental issues.

Singer, songwriter, actress and Animals Asia ambassador Karen Mok was joined by celebrated Chinese wildlife photographer Xi Zhinong on a visit to the Chengdu bear sanctuary to campaign against bear bile farming.
Karen Mok, one of the world's most popular social media figures with 38 million followers, dropped in on the facility to support Animals Asia's historic Peace by Piece campaign to turn a bear bile farm into a sanctuary. During the visit Karen also found time to catch up with Baobei – her sponsored bear.
Karen later posted images of the trip to her followers with the message:
"We are all fighting to protect nature and wildlife."
Wildlife photographer Xi Zhinong was making his first visit to the sanctuary. The devoted animal campaigner, known for highlighting the plight of endangered species such as the Yunnan Snub-nosed monkey and the Tibetan antelope, was shocked to learn of the conditions suffered by bears on bile farms.
During the tour Karen took the time to record a message for her millions of fans imploring them to support Peace by Piece saying:
"Please help us to turn a bear farm in Nanning into a sanctuary."
Animals Asia founder and CEO, Jill Robinson MBE, who took Xi and Karen on a tour of the facility, said:
"We're very grateful to have the support of Karen and Xi – two prominent figures in Chinese wildlife protection and animal welfare. We can't go it alone to rescue every bear on bile farms in China - we need people like Karen and Xi to raise awareness and help us bring everyone to the table to try to find a solution to end bear bile farming in China once and for all."

It might seem bleeding obvious to those people about to endure a week of scorching weather, but new data shows the past decade was one of the hottest on record in Australia.
The Bureau of Meteorology's climate snapshot of 2012, released on Thursday, found days were hot and nights were cool last year, with daytime maximum averages half a degree higher than usual.
Tasmania, the mainland's southern coast and the southwestern half of Western Australia experienced above-average temperatures.
But it was cooler than average in eastern Australia, while the Northern Territory - where temperatures normally soar - experienced it's coldest winter on record.
Balmy Darwin shivered through its chilliest August night ever. While it wasn't Thredbo, the mercury fell to a respectable 13.1C.
The first half of 2012 was cooler and wetter than average, with an ongoing La Nina event in the tropical Pacific dumping rain across most of the country, causing some flooding.
Australia had its third wettest March on record, while in late February and early March southeast Australia experienced one of its most extreme rainfall events on record.
For the Murray-Darling Basin, this event across a broad part of northern Victoria, southern NSW and eastern South Australia was the wettest seven-day period on record since at least 1900.
The cooler daytime temperatures, widespread cloud cover and rain associated with La Nina gave way during winter and spring to the drier El Nino weather system, which caused rainfall to drop 25 per cent below average.
By the end of 2012, despite January to March being the seventh wettest on record, Australia had experienced rainfall just a touch above average.
The bureau also found numerous winter and spring heat records were broken across the country from August onwards as maximum temperatures peaked above average.
Much of eastern Australia was hit by one of the most significant spring heatwaves on record at the end of November, with Oodnadatta smashing South Australia's record for the warmest overnight November temperature with a minimum of 32.3C.
No stranger to hot weather, Roxby Downs and Oodnadatta in SA's outback are about to sizzle again with six days in a row above 45C.
Overall, the 10 years to 2012 was the fifth-warmest decade in Australia's history, while, globally, last year was the ninth hottest on record.

The U.S. State Department recently released its Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2012, posing as the world judge of human rights again. As in previous years, the reports are full of carping and irresponsible remarks on the human rights situation in more than 190 countries and regions including China. However, the U.S. turned a blind eye to its own woeful human rights situation and never said a word about it.

One year ago this week, the Legislature passed major transportation finance legislation. The package directed more funding to the MBTA, but for the first time in recent memory, it also placed a heavy emphasis on the state's regional transportation authorities (RTAs), which provide public transit service in areas outside of Greater Boston.
One year ago this week, the Legislature passed major transportation finance legislation. The package directed more funding to the MBTA, but for the first time in recent memory, it also placed a heavy emphasis on the state's regional transportation authorities (RTAs), which provide public transit service in areas outside of Greater Boston.
Among the legislation's many commonsense provisions, two stand out. First, the bill provided "forward funding" so that RTAs will no longer have to borrow to cover their operating expenses while they await the state's annual reimbursement. Second, the legislation required each of these systems to complete a comprehensive service plan, demonstrating the need for new routes and higher frequency service and quantifying how much it would cost to support this growth.
Together with the Wisconsin-based Smart State Transportation Initiative, MassINC spent much of the past year examining best practices for completing these comprehensive service plans.
If done well, service plans can lead to short-term improvements for transit riders by revealing opportunities to redeploy existing resources more efficiently. In the long-term, these plans will provide a road map for much needed investment in the RTAs, which have long made do with inadequate funding.
A model service planning process includes strong outreach to current riders, potential riders, and organizational partners in the community, smart analysis of existing travel data, and coordination with regional growth strategies. The recently completed service plan by the Pioneer Valley Transit Authority (PVTA) shows that, with sufficient resources and commitment, Massachusetts RTAs can make the most of this new planning requirement and deliver real value to their riders and their regional economies.
But our paper also identified several obstacles to performing successful service assessments. The current law calls for a single round of planning; ideally, transit agencies develop capacity to execute this process on a regular cycle every few years. And the current law amounts to an unfunded mandate. While the outsized PVTA had access to sufficient resources, smaller RTAs were forced to contract jointly with a very modest pot of funds. It remains to be seen whether the dollars available to them will be enough to accomplish the task at hand.
We hope that they are adequate because the stakes are high for these regional economies. RTAs that get workers to work make their regions more competitive. RTAs also help residents struggling to reach the middle class. For many families, reliable public transportation is the difference between covering another car payment and setting aside money for a down payment on a home. For college students, public transportation that substitutes for a car payment means a better chance at keeping up with tuition, staying in school, and completing a degree.
By requiring RTAs to plan ahead, the Legislature is providing them an opportunity to show what they could do with additional resources. Now it's up to the RTAs to deliver — and to civic leaders in their communities to support — a robust and rigorous process.

Raises are still on the table for state politicians after the California Citizens Compensation Commission met for the first time Thursday to begin deciding how much legislators and other state elected officials will be paid next year.
The commission has cut compensation for the past four years, but with state finances showing signs of recovery, there has been some discussion of raises.
Chairman Thomas Dalzell has indicated the most likely outcome is leaving salaries as is, but his colleagues took no action to ink that outcome on Thursday.
Instead, the commission delayed a decision until after state finance officials determine whether the state has a surplus in May. A surplus finding would allow for raises.
Dalzell, a lawyer and union leader appointed by Brown, told reporters after the meeting that he doubted the board had the four votes necessary to approve raises.
"The consensus will be status quo for a year and let's see whether the turnaround continues," Dalzell said.
Commissioners over the past four years have voted to reduce salaries for the governor and lawmakers by 23 percent.
Brown, who is paid $165,288, demurred when asked about raises but said he doesn't support further pay reductions. On Thursday, Senate President Pro Tempore Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, agreed that lawmakers should not have their pay further reduced.
"I think enough is enough," said Steinberg, whose base pay is $104,105. "I am going to stand up for and with hardworking public servants."
Asked if that meant he wanted raises, he replied, "There shouldn't be any more cuts" and left it at that.
The base pay for rank-and-file legislators is $90,526, making them the highest-paid state lawmakers in the nation. They also get about $30,000 in annual tax-free "per diem" payments to help cover expenses.
The state's more promising budget picture — thanks in part to tax increases approved by voters in November — has made pay increases a possibility for the first time in years.
Commissioners must meet every year to make salary and benefit changes that become effective on a December-to-December basis. Proposition 1F, approved by voters in 2009, barred the commission from boosting elected officials' salaries during years of budget deficits.
Commissioner Nancy Miller, an attorney appointed by Brown, said she also doesn't support giving out raises regardless of whether finance officials project a surplus.
She was joined by others, including Commissioner John Stites II, a retired Los Angeles County sheriff's sergeant appointed by Schwarzenegger.
"What aggravates me about people in elected office or anybody in an office or a job that is being supported by revenue from other people is that they are more than willing to scream for money and not recognize the fact that it's got to be paid," Stites said.
He said it was unclear whether the state's improved financial situation was here to stay.
"There's no indication that it's based on anything other than phony numbers so why would I even be interested?" he asked. "And why would they even be interested in considering it?"
Commissioners ordered staff to prepare a nation- and statewide survey of salaries for the current year as part of its deliberations at a meeting scheduled for June 13.

At the start of
World War II, the United States Army bought Paramount's motion picture studio at
35th Avenue and 35th Street in Astoria, Long Island City, Queens, New York,
taking over in February 1942. The studio became the Signal Corps
Photographic Center, later Army Pictorial Center, home to filmmakers and
still photographers who
covered the war and who produced countless training films. This is the
story of the people who served there.
Help Requested
Army Pictorial Center's monthly newsletter, In Focus, highlighted film production, history and daily life in Astoria. Eleanore (Mencik) Jettmar supplied a stack of In Focus copies from 1959 to 1964. Stories excerpted from In Focus will appear here, but for now, you can read the PDF files.
Eleanore finished her service as secretary to the commander, and she filed away various documents like In Focus for future reference. The In Focus record fills in some details about APC.
From the anniversary issue, In Focus March 1962:
Twenty years! The end of March brings to a climax the salute from approximately 700 civilian employees and 300 military personnel to Army Pictorial Center as it goes into the 20th year of producing training and information films for troops around the world.
It was 20 years ago that a small detachment of service men came from the Training Film Production Laboratory (TFPL) at Ft. Monmouth, New Jersey, to Astoria on 1 March to take possession of the old Paramount studios.
Little did this small band of soldiers realize they not only were occupying buildings extremely rich in history of the fascinating world of entertainment but taking part in a venture that would be emblazoned in the annals of Army archives.
Early Use Of Films
But this wasn't the beginning of the move by Army technicians entering the business world of producing motion pictures. It started years before.
During World War I, this branch of service made use of films in training through social hygiene pictures made by medical units. By 1918 nearly 100 reels of training films had been acquired by the Signal Corps before the Armistice was signed.
Production slackened and finally ceased until 1928 when the Army again went into the motion picture field.
Production was disrupted once more with the coming of that age of "talkies." After 1932 a steady schedule of training films was produced in the Signal Corps Photographic Laboratory at the War College in Washington, D. C.
This unit later moved to quarters at Ft. Monmouth. Then came the year 1940. Hundreds of thousands or men were being drafted into service. The film program expanded so that special arrangements had to be made for its housing.
Adequate Facilities
Paramount's Eastern Service Studios in Astoria came into the picture. After searching for adequate facilities, the Army closed its option on the purchase of the Paramount studios -- built at an estimated price or $10 million -- on 27 January 1942.
Although possession of the studios was taken on 1 March, actual work on extensive alterations to permit the housing of troops and adaptation of the buildings to Army film production requirements wasn't begun until 22 March. WPA workers were brought in to help clean up the buildings. Department of Sanitation trucks from New York City were lined up outside the buildings in the mornings to carry away unwanted articles.
On 8 May TFPL and the motion picture section of the photographic school moved from Ft. Monmouth to the studios to be known as the Signal Corps Photographic Center (SCPC). They were followed on 26 May by the school's still picture section.
Facelifting Process
Colonel Melvin E. Gillette became the first Commanding Officer of the studios where only a few years before Walter Wanger reigned over his Paramount regime.
This original band of officers and enlisted men witnessed a complete facelifting of the Paramount facilities which had stood in comparative idleness for quite some time after the company moved its headquarters to Hollywood.
This progress was also seen by 60 civilians still working at the Center who came here in 1942.
Studios previously used to produce such firsts as a big feature musical -- "Coconuts" starring the Marx Brothers – and a full-length sound picture -- "The Letter" with Jeanne Eagles – changed appearances for Army purposes.
The areas where the Post Exchange and TV Maintenance are now located were made into living quarters Ior the servicemen. The wooden buildings behind the present cafeteria were constructed for barracks (original plans for a four story brick building were discarded).
Military personnel were also housed in hotels throughout the city.
Famous Personalities
The orderly room was located where TV studio's control room is now.
The present post cafeteria was then a mess hall. A troop recreation area was installed in the spaces now occupied by TV Operations and Intelligence Office.
Dressing rooms previously used by such famous personalities as Walter Huston, Maurice Chevalier, Billy Burke, Gertrude Lawrence, Char les Ruggles, Rudolf Valentino, Eddie Cantor, Ed Wynn, Tallulah Bankhead, Preston Foster, Richard Dix, William Powell, Gloria Swanson, Frederick March, Gary Cooper, Claudette Colbert, Ginger Rogers, Lionel Barrymore and many more were converted into working areas for the deluge of employees to come.
The acquisition from Paramount included just the studio areas located in Buildings One and Two. Other buildings were later leased or purchased as the demand for them grew.
Building locations
Building 13 was used by a civilian firm as an aeronautical school to teach Air Force recruits before being purchased for use by the Center.
The photography school was conducted a few blocks away on Broadway. An obstacle course was built elsewhere in Long Island City to train cameramen for combat duties. Animation was housed in Manhattan on the top floors of a 13-story building at 32nd Street close to Lexington Avenue. Film was stored in a building on Crescent Street in Astoria.
The smaller buildings on 35th Street opposite the rear gate of Buildings One and Two were leased to house the Motor Pool until the APO building at 48th Street and Northern Boulevard was made available by the Army.
The present barracks in Building 24 were constructed by Army engineers in 1953. Before that time the space had been used as a parking lot.
Military Remembrances
There are 12 men employed here today who came to the Center in 1942 as military personnel. They tell of the times when they had to fallout in the mornings for reveille on 36th Street—also for inspections and drill. They remember marching up and down this street early in the morning shouting cadence.
On days when weather was bad such drills would be held on the main stage.
Autograph hounds would line up outside the rear gate during the early years of the Center hoping for a chance to see their favorite movie idols who were stationed here as service men.
Many Hollywood personalities, including actors, technicians and directors were at SCPC in 1942 and 1943.
Formal dedication ceremonies of the Center were held 22 September 1942, with such dignitaries as New York City's Mayor F. H. La Guardia and Major General Dawson Olmstead, Chief Signal Officer on hand with Col. Gillette for speeches.
The occasion, with liberal coverage by the nation's press, was described as not only being "an important one for the military services, but it was a historical occasion for the cinema industry, recognizing, as it did, the part that visual education plays in our modern, mechanized streamlined Army."
Production Program
The ceremonies were broadcast by radio station WJZ~ the Blue Network's 50,000 -watt outlet in New York, and picked up by 140 stations on a coast-to-coast hook-up.
SCPC had a two-fold mission during the war: To produce training and educational films which would help to teach men soldiering quickly and to teach photographers the art of making combat pictures. Personnel reached an approximate strength of 3,000 during the war.
With today's personnel force around one-third the size it was then, a year's production program and the selection of film subjects is not a hit-or-miss affair, but a well-considered, well-planned decision based on the training needs of the Army's various agencies, weighed and evaluated in reference to the needs of the entire Army.
After the final decision has been made, scripts are written, casting done, stages set, and film shot, developed, edited and synchronized with sound. The job couldn't be called completed until distribution of these training and information films is made through a network of film libraries throughout the world.
The Army has been rewarded not only by speeding up training of its soldiers but has been honored by numerous organizations for films produced at the Center .
. Among the top honors were three "Oscars" awarded by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. "Seeds of Destiny" in 1946 and "Towards Independence" in 1948 were termed as the most outstanding documentary short subjects .
"Prelude To War" in 1942 also won an "Oscar" for its "outstanding achievement.
Other Honors
The film "Operation Blue Jay" was nominated for another "Oscar" in 1953 as the best documentary short subject.
Among other honors are these top awards: The U. S. Camera Achievement Award in 1942 in recognition of outstanding achievement in photography; National Headliner's Club Award for "best newsreel reporting" in 1944; National Committee on Films for Safety accorded highest honors in the general safety field for non-theatrical films produced or released in 1950 for "Once Too Often" and again in 1953 for "On Post Safety"; Venice International Exhibition of Cinematographic Art first prize for natural science film "Rodent Control" in 1951 and "Schistosomiasis" in 1948; Freedom's' Foundation Award for the film "Voices of the People" in 1949, "Communism" in 1950 and "International Communism" in 1953.
Talents and professional skills of Hollywood celebrities stationed at SCPC as military personnel during its early years were put to good use in many of the films produced here.
Among these personalities were William Saroyan, John Huston, Frank Capra, William Holden, Carl Laemm1e, Jr., Jesse Lasky, Jr., and Harry Warner, Jr.
Another important phase of production at the Center is the work done by Television Division. Although a comparatively new-comer to the Army, television has left a definite mark.
Television came to the Center on 13 July 1951, with the assignment here of a mobile TV unit. This was detached to Fort Monmouth until adequate facilities and manpower could be attained. Originally this unit was equipped with four bus-type vans. After a few trips to the field, the vans were termed impractical and were converted to tractor-trailers in 1953.
Kinescope recording equipment was authorized shortly thereafter when Washington was convinced that such facilities would be advantageous in that filmed programs could be shown over and over again.
TV Studios Added
This new equipment was anything but idle in its infancy at the Center. Personnel would hardly get a chance to take a quick look at the installation before they would leave with the field unit once more.
During this time television was proving to military leaders its significance to the Army.

Other mobile units were added and a complete, modern studio was installed where the troops slept before Building 24 was constructed.
During 1954 both CBS and NBC television networks used the facilities, equipment and personnel in the studios here for coast-to-coast hook-ups. One of these shows won NBC and the Army Signal Corps the coveted "Peabody Award" for its presentation.
In 1956 the first television cameraman's class was started. This successful course was conducted for two years and discontinued because it was felt the supply of cameramen was sufficient.
Color Unit Received
Through the years TV cameras manned by Center crews have been trained on many important events, including: parachute jumps of tactical exercises with a portable camera; launching of missiles; Armed Forces Day celebrations; national defense exercises; and the presidential inauguration ceremonies of both Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1957 and John F. Kennedy in 1961.
Another first in the Army was achieved in November 1958 when APC received a mobile color television unit—among the first in the entire TV industry.
History repeated itself again in the month of the Center's 20th anniversary when yet another color van was delivered.
Advancement continues today in the TV studios and field units as more and more technical knowledge in telecasting is continually strived for.
A history of the Center couldn't be complete without the mention of another new phase of pictorial science—photo instrumentation.
Such a mission was assigned to APC in 1959. Photo instrumentation involves the application of photography to scientific or engineering purposes. It is the recording on photographic film and other light or radiation sensitive materials of phenomena under scientific observation, which later can be analyzed and measured.
This division of the all-important work day after day here also continues to be analyzed and the stress is on constant improvement of services.
Indeed, as history was once made here by commercial film makers, it will continue to be made by the Army as production continues at a high rate of speed. There are approximately 300 to 350 projects in some phase of production per fiscal year with over 600 reels completed a year and film processed at the rate of four to five million feet per month.

Mozambican Deep-Water Shrimp Fishery Improvement Project
Overview of Project
Fisheries Improvement Project Stage
Implementation & Review
Species for Certification
Pink prawn (Haliporoides triarthrus)
Red prawn (Aristaemorpha foliacae)
Fishery Background
Volume – approximately 4,000 mt of biomass for all five species of deep-water shrimps with a recommended total allowable catch of 2,500 mt
Gear – Single bottom trawl nets (55 mm codend) with otter boards
Location – The fishery extends along the coast of Mozambique between 17º 00´ (Angoche) and 25º 40´ South (border with South Africa). The fishery extends seaward to the shelf edge on suitably muddy substrates, and ranges from 200 m to 700 m in depth.
FIP Stakeholders
The main stakeholders involved in this FIP include: WWF, the Ministry of Fisheries (the the National Administration for Fisheries (ADNAP), the National Institute for Fisheries Research (IIP) and the deep-water shrimp Industry.
Project Background
The Mozambican deep-water shrimp FIP process commenced in 2009, when the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) pre-assessment for this fishery was completed. This work laid the foundation for the development of a FIP scoping document that outlines potential strategies for addressing deficiencies identified in the pre-assessment. In May 2010, WWF held a FIP stakeholder meeting in Maputo, Mozambique to develop a FIP Action Plan, which describes the necessary FIP activities, with associated responsible parties and timeframes required to meet the MSC standard. Implementation of FIP activities began in August 2010 when the FIP Action Plan was finalized.
In March 2012, WWF held a FIP review meeting in Maputo, Mozambique to review the progress toward objectives outlined in the Action Plan, and to identify any new activities that may need to be undertaken. The latest FIP review was done in May 2013 and the results were used to update the Action Plan.
Deficiencies Raised in the Pre-Assessment
In the pre-assessment, a number of MSC performance indicators (PIs) were scored such that the fishery would likely either fail under an MSC full assessment (score less than 60) or pass with conditions (score between 60 and 80). These included lack of fishery-specific harvest controls, lack of information on the status of the primary bycatch species, uncertainty regarding habitat impacts, and limited monitoring.
Key Accomplishments
The work done by FIP stakeholders to date has resulted in many accomplishments, some of which include the following:
- The establishment of a FIP/MSC Steering Committee to assist in the implementation of the Action Plan;
- Identification of Unit of Certification (Haliporoides triarthus and Aristaemorpha foliacea);
- Identification of the Client (Industry);
- Export market analysis conducted for deepwater species - including assessment of exports and species breakdown, country export analysis;
- Spatial and temporal analysis of effort accomplished, to assist in the development of an ecosystem-based management strategy;
- GIS course to improve fisheries mapping;
- Elaboration of the fishery management plan (draft);
- Development of the new loogbook that includes data on retained and discarded bycatch;
- Training of captains for logbook data entry;
- Improvement of the database for data analysis;
- Stock assessment of the two main species conducted;
- Ongoing deployment of scientific observers on board commercial vessels;
- Improvement of the scientific sampling forms on board on commercial vessels which now includes information on Endangered, Threatened and Protected Species;
- Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) in place;
- Approval of a new fisheries law that now includes rights based management:
A number of FIP activities outlined in the Action Plan still need to be implemented by FIP stakeholders in order for the fishery to meet the MSC standard. These activities include:
- Finalize the management plan (include harvest control rules and research plan);
- Improve the spatial and temporal evaluation of the Deepwater Shrimp Fishery and link with substrate analysis;
- Undertake ecosystem modeling;
- Analyze data on retained species, bycatch, discards and ETP species;
- Improve the catch-recording system for traceability;
- Update stock assessment on the two main species

HARTWELL, OH (FOX19) - The man accused of killing a Hartwell business owner was in court on Thursday.
John Deloney, 27, is being held without bond.
Deloney was arrested last Wednesday in Indianapolis after an manhunt resulted in him turning himself in at Indianapolis Police headquarters on an open warrant for aggravated murder. He was extradited back to Cincinnati on Wednesday.
Deloney is accused of murdering Richard Evans, 50, at Cosmic Pizza on Woodsdale Avenue earlier this month.
Investigators say Deloney entered the store and place an order for food. He then produced a handgun and demanded money. Evans and Deloney struggled for the gun and Evans was shot at close range.
After being shot, Evans attempted to escape from Deloney, but the prosecutor says Deloney continued to follow him and shoot three additional times. Evans exited the restaurant and made it to a front yard adjacent to his establishment, where he died.
Deloney was extradited to Cincinnati and booked into the jail on Tuesday.
Deloney is scheduled to appear in Hamilton County Court on Thursday.

The character limit is set to 30 now
This hasn't been much of a problem in the past but when people post on the site and have a long username, they stretch the page in a very annoying way. Since we don't really have a built in character limit for the usernames, I have made an unofficial limit of 3-35 characters for a valid username. Having a username that is between 30 and 35 characters is really pushing it.
So as of now, we will not allow people to have usernames longer than 35 characters. All users who currently have usernames longer than that will be sent a PM warning before having their account deleted.
Former Crunchyroll Employee
All users who currently have usernames longer than that will be sent a PM warning before having their account deleted.
Kind of crude don't you think? ~Just an example: They could have their account for a long while, then all of a sudden get a message saying its gonna be deleted.~ Unless I'm missing something where you can change your Username. I don't think thats kinda fair.
i also agree but i think...who on earth would want to make a username that stinkin long?! i mean something has to be like ****************************** that much letters! i mean who would want something that long?! its sort of impossible to think up something that long more like it would be hard to remember! but i also agree with abvius..... but its the mods choice so i dont mind!^^ they always do stuff for the good not the bad!^^
It's been 85 years....

I agree.
From a practical standpoint, it doesn't make sense to have an account with such a long username. Just by looking at these accounts (if you've seen one), it more or less looks like it was created just for the sake of spamming (or leeching). They usually have no avatar, hardly any CR points, nothing placed in their About me! section, and if they're not recently made, they're pretty old, so it looks like no activity has happened much with regard to the user that created the account.
And in many respects, it isn't a big deal for profiles like this to get deleted. They might as well just make a new one, since there's very little to begin with before it was deleted.
And as with what Azngrace said, we do take into consideration several things before nuking an account. Sending them a PM, for one thing, is one of the measures we do to see if the account really is active. Plus, it's better to warn them in advance than just nuke them with no warning whatsoever.
Here's a prime example:
My thoughts on Anime @ www.animananime.com
ya 20 characters should be plenty and thats still well under the new 35 character limit, i hope you don't lower too much though, i hate sites where i cant use a username just because of the number of characters.
Lol, ok. I that makes more sense if you put it like that. But I wondering, If they get a message from a Mod or something, wouldn't they be hesitant on replying to it, thinking they won't get a message back? (Maybe they might think it could be a bot or something)
And yea, I'm sure almost all the accounts with 35+ letters are mainly spammers accounts or whatever, but you do come across people who actually want an account like that. I was also just giving a thought into it , you wouldn't want to have an account like that for a while to get a message saying it was gonna be deleted.
They usually have no avatar, hardly any CR points, nothing placed in their About me! section
Some people just make accounts to just watch shows on here not really socialize.
abvius u said some people just make accts to watch shows right? cant they make another one? its not affecting them and all they do is make another. and if the mods might say something like "please reply" or something then they would actually send it probably. most people wouldnt want 35 stinkin characters in it. like how edsamac found one it was just 8's at the end. i mean seriously!
It's been 85 years....
cant they make another one?
Dunno Depending on the person whether they put up a fight or not. My guess would be though if they made an account just for that purpose and they get a message saying your account will be deleted for being to long, I think they would make a new one.
I was just making a statement that it was just a bit unfair to the people who have had an account like that and had a whole bunch of friends or what ever on it, then getting a message saying it was gonna be deleted. I think it would be a bit of a hassle to message all their friends saying they were forced to make an account.
Sure maybe if they put in the "Reply back" sure enough they might get replys back from the people who really care about their accounts.
^ Many of these people don't have friends. Personally, I'm hesitant in nuking people who have quite a number of friends. I usually reason things out with them. I don't nuke just for the heck of nuking.
As with people who don't want to socialize, horrendously long usernames still don't make sense. Even if they didn't see the message, and they realize their account is gone, I guess they'd probably just make another one. If it's long again, and we happen to nuke it again, I think he'll soon get tired of making long accounts.
But really, so much thought into something very simple.
My thoughts on Anime @ www.animananime.com
Having a username with characters ranging in the 30's is absurd but still, account deletion is going a bit overboard don't you think? Unless that account is like brand new, has no friends, no CR points, and no uploaded videos [basically an account that's pretty much worthless] then deletion isn't a problem. But long time successful accounts shouldn't get deleted just because of their username, those accounts should be able to change it
EDIT: Even though my username is under the 30 character limit I have been told that it's pretty long
Am I finally BACK?!?
^ Exactly: we wont delete 'long time successful' accounts because they were made before this rule was introduced. Like you and edsamac said, it's only for the obvious spam/dead/multiple leach accounts. ^-^ We're not mean people, high on power, looking for any excuse to nuke people. This is for the benefit of the cr community, especially those who use the chat alot. ^-^ Who wants a name bigger than 35 letters anyway? That's what the headline in your profile is for...
Old CR lover! Alive as of 31/07/16
you can also tell if they are active or not by the number of cr points they have. i think most email services have like a 20 character limit so if you have like 15 more than that i think your just bloody insane.
i think usernames who have that long characters are only spammers of the websites, i mean... damn
why make a username that long?? its not like every name you could think of are already in use.. damn. thats stupid
1 second.. and i get your heart
Hmm, personally ... I've never seen any long usernames. Give me one example though.
I never knew perfection till I hear you speak.
i haven't seen any long usernames yet, but i agree that it would be unfair to delete an account that has been active for so long on this site. anyway, my username is 9 letters so phew

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
Diagnosis: Typical body shape; large ranid frog; protruding eyes; dorsal ridges; large inner metatarsal tubercle.
Description: A large, very compact ranid. Males reach 83–120 mm (SVL), females 85–110 mm. Females reach just 50% of the male weight. The lower jaw of the broad mouth bears two characteristic long projections (tooth like structures) which point dorsally. Nuptial pads appear on the first finger of the male. The skin is faintly warty, and the warts are rather rounded. The lateral ridges are short, never stretching from the head to the end of the body. The habitus changes considerably as growth proceeds. Young frogs are sturdy and almost plump. Adult animals are dorsoventrally flattened, resembling a flat cake. The eyes move more and more towards the center of the frontal region, and in adults are very protruding. The tympanum is distinct, large and high-oval in shape. Webs are found exclusively on the hind feet. They either leave free the first phalange of the fourth toe (as on animals from Zimbabwe, see Lambiris 1989), or the webbing formula reads 1 (0), 2 i (0.5), 3 i (1.5), 4 i/e (2), 5 (0.5) (as on an animal of unknown origin shown in Fig. 43; see reference below). Finger and toe tips are not enlarged. The inner metatarsal tubercle is transformed into a large shovel whose length surpasses that of the shortest toe.
Coloration: The dorsum of adult animals is more or less uniform yellow green to drab olive green. Males tend to be more greenish, whereas females are often more olive brown. A pale vertebral stripe and light lines on the ridges and warts are more common in females. The young often bear a bright, light green vertebral stripe, gold-brown speckles and black markings on their dark green skin. Forming black bars, these markings also appear on the lips and extremities. Lower lip, finger-tips and venter are uniform white or cream. Males have dark yellow throats. On some individuals, the venter is completely yellow. A dark patch is often present in the center of the tympanum. The webs are darkly pigmented.
Voice: A loud "whoop" lasting about 0.11 to 0.29 sec, with the dominant frequency of this frequency modulated call being 0.45–0.60 kHz. Additionally, there are components of 0.3–0.4 and 0.6–0.9 kHz (Channing et al. 1994). Passmore & Carruthers (1995) describe the call as a short deep "yop" uttered at irregular intervals.
