Revision as of 09:39, 29 August 2013
We tried to come up with a file naming scheme that would scale, to manage digital objects of various types, from our holdings as well as elsewhere on campus and in other institutions. We needed some way to group the files that is reasonably intuitive, supportable, extensible, and which supports the needs of management and delivery systems.
While our current digitized items are primarily from content housed at Hoole Special Collections, we recognize that soon the Digital Services may be digitizing and/or managing content from across campus and from a variety of other institutions.
For more information, see TrackingFilenames, which lists the different holdings and type numbers (first 5 digits of a filename) currently assigned
While the first few uses of character strings is very helpful, after a time we are forced to choose nonsensical character strings to delineate an object. (How many George Smiths are there?) And we realize that not every institution or organization or digital item creator is going to organize things to the level we do, or in the same ways.
So we are hoping that whatever system we come up against can be mapped against this one; database tables and spreadsheets must exist to describe or point to the actual analog item, its location, its collection, and its holder, and more. The filename cannot be expected to hold sufficient information to please everyone or every use. Its primary purpose is as a unique identifying value for the file, and to facilitate in file management and online delivery.
Additional considerations are the [[1]] of the filename, characters which cause problems for software (such as \/:*?"<>|); and consistency (both for parsing and handling, and also for visually spotting errors). In addition, the "id" attribute values that are valid for xml need to be considered (begin with a letter, and more: [[2]]); and we need sufficient characters to provide for identification within the realm of the content provider.
Therefore, we will begin each file name with a "u" for university holdings, and "p" for patron holdings, and reserve the other letters for other types of institutions.
- The first 4 numbers will be used to identify the holding group or area at the university. As such, there will be several for Hoole. For example, u0001 will be for all image collections, and u0003 for all manuscript collections.
- The second set of 7 numbers will identify the particular collection within the holding area. We chose 7 numbers since this will hold the current collection numbers being used for image collections by Hoole (year processed followed by 3 digit number denoting sequence of processing). For other collections whose numbering system will fit within this, we will use the existing numbering system for that holding area. For example, in Manuscripts, MS 2504 will become collection u0003_002504.
- The third set of numbers will identify the item within the collection.
- the 4th set of numbers, if used, will identify the sequence for delivery on the page level.
- The 5th set of numbers, if used, will identify the sequence for delivery on the sub-page level (for example, closeups of photos on a scrapbook page).
Here is a set of sample file numbers, the analysis of which will follow:
- u0003_0002061_0000345_0001.tif
- u0003_0002061_0000345_0002.tif
- u0003_0002061_0000345_0003.tif
- u0003_0002061_0000345_0000.xml
"u" indicates that this object resides at the University of Alabama or was created under our university auspices. Some other character (as yet undetermined) will delineate other holdings. We have selected "p" for patron holdings. Longer or more complex systems were discarded as being difficult and problematic after the first few assigned values.
After the "u" comes a 4-digit value to indicate a category which is spelled out in the database. At Hoole, it makes sense to separate Rare Books from Manuscripts from Archives from Photographs -- and more. Each of these is a "superset" of potential collections. In this example, we are going to suppose that 0003 was assigned to Hoole Special Collections Manuscripts.
The second set of numbers (in this case, "0002061") is the collection number assigned by the folks indicated in the first set of numbers. Since this is from Manuscripts, this is MS 2061. Any number with 7 or less digits may be assigned, though we recommend auto-incrementing so it's clear which numbers are not yet in use, if indeed the current system does not map directly to this one. ( If the file being labeled is the EAD (finding aid) for collection MS 2061, the file naming stops here: u0003_0002061.xml. )
The third set of numbers is the item number. In this case, item # 345 is the 345th item selected for digitization; it may NOT be the 345th item encountered in the analog collection. Identification depends on information in the database or spreadsheet.
The 4th set of numbers is the sequence number. In the set of numbers above, there are 3 pages for this document, numbered sequentially. These numbers may NOT match the page numbers as appear on the page, but are necessary for sequential delivery.
Also in the set of numbers above is a file that ends in "0000.xml" -- this is the metadata record, of whatever type. If there are multiple kinds of metadata for this item (ex.: MODS, METS, DC, EAD, TEI), then they must be kept in separate directories to avoid overwriting. Said directories should be named appropriately. If page-level metadata is kept in a separate file, it would end with the sequence number of the page to which it applies; that is, metadata for sequence page 1 ends in 0001.xml instead of 0000.xml.
Thus, the set of filenames above are for a 3-page document known as the 345th item selected for digitization from MS 2061 in UA Hoole Special Collections Manuscripts division. There are 3 tiff images, one per page, numbered sequentially, and one metadata record for the item (which consists of 3 pages).
- u0003_0002324_0000005_0003.tif
- u0003_0002324_0000005_0003_001.tif
- u0003_0002324_0000005_0003_002.tif
These above are a page from a scrapbook, with closeup shots of each of 2 photos on the 3rd page. The scrapbook is the 5th item in the collection from MS 2324.
- u0002_0000001_0009937_0002.tif
This one (above) is Rare books, which has no subcollections --
- u0001_2007102_0000342.tif
- u0001_2007102_0000342.xml
This (above) is a photograph, only one, so no need for pages --
- n0234_0000022_0000079_0000.xml OR n0234_0000022_0000079.xml
- n0234_0000022_0000079_0001.tif
- n0234_0000022_0000079_0002.tif
These above represent a 2-image document and metadata from some other institution.
Other Versions of an image, such as the OCR tiff file.
Multiple Batches In Collection
Content with multiple streams to be delivered simultaneously
Intellectual vs Logical Numbering issues
In this manner, we retain consistency of how we use each segment of information in the filename; this consistency allows us to automate much of our file management.

gburn87 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 99 designs submitted by 20 freelance designers.
Jeffrey T. Burnett, DDS Family Dentistry
We are a family and cosmetic dentistry practice that has been in Pflugerville, TX for almost 40 years. We target families of all ages.
Royal Blues, Greys, and Whites are preferred. Blacks are also acceptable but want to stick with a lighter pallete.
Overall this is a very mature practice (first and longest running in town) but needs a clean and fresh update! We like the attached logo as inspiration but would like a little bit more of a modern twist on that type of design. Sticking with Black, White, Grey, and Royal Blue is the goal for the colors. We'd like to represent an established brand but still approachable and friendly for families. Open to ideas incorporating tooth graphics, the initials 'JB' into a modern and classy dental-relevant graphic etc, or just spelling it out.

Burnt popcorn smell lingers in microwaves so badly, an office I worked in banned it from the break room. It's notorious, but completely removable.
If your microwave harbors its own dirty Pop Secrets, try this cleaning tip we got from Frigidaire (hat tip to Sarah from our Customer Service Department):
Microwave Odor Removal
You'll need:
- 1 cup water
- juice of 1 lemon
- grated lemon peel
- several whole cloves
Combine together in a 2-cup glass measuring cup and boil for several minutes in the microwave on full power. Allow hot mixture to sit in the microwave until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
Though this tip wasn't specifically written for burnt popcorn, I can't think of much else that smells up a microwave. Help me out in the comments below!

Loyalist Articles
by Paul J. Bunnell, FACG,UE
The following stories are from various records and accounts about brave loyalists from Digby, Nova Scotia. This article is intended to enlighten the interested historian about the American loyalists who sacrificed everything to support something they truly believed in..... Freedom, and a better life.
Though losers in this great battle.... They became winners in time.... By building the foundation that helped create the Canadian nation that many of us respect and love today.
As in many areas of loyalist Canada, Digby, Nova Scotia presented some great men from the people who supported Great Britain during the American Revolution. John Edison was one of these settlers of Digby who carved out a new life from the loses of his old life back in the thirteen colonies. If he had only known that his struggle and hardship brought forth a descendant who the world would all know so well...... The inventor, Thomas Alva Edison.
Isaac Bonnell, possible son to Nathaniel Bonnell of Elizabethtown, New Jersey was born around that place between 1736 and 1738. He married Grace Fox on 3 Dec. 1763 at Perth Amboy, Middlesex Co., New Jersey. Grace was the daughter of Thomas Fox and he gave her a house and other property in Perth Amboy. Life in the colony was very good for the Bonnell's because Isaac met the right people. Being an intimate friend and correspondent of Governor William Franklin, son of Benjamin Franklin helped push his career into an appointment as Barrackmaster of the entire province of New Jersey. By June of 1775 he was then appointed Sheriff of Middlesex County by Franklin. But this period of the good life was short lived (Bio. Sketches of Loyalists of Am. Rev., by Sabine, 1864, published by Little, Brown & Co.)
Having three children, the Bonnell's decided to name their only son William Franklin Bonnell after their good friend, Gov. William Franklin; in fact they appointed Franklin as the boys god-father. Then the Revolutionary War broke out and Gov. Franklin was imprisoned for being a loyalist. In 1776 Isaac was removed from office and by July was apprehended by order of Washington and directed by the Provincial Congress to remain at Trenton on parole after jailed for being a loyalist. During his parole he reside at Cranbury for a while and told not to leave. Gov. Franklin was released and fled to New York City, which was the British stronghold throughout the war.
Like many other colonists, Isaac did a flip-flop and took the oath not to bear allegiance to King George III which won his release. He quickly signed up in the American militia, but in that same year (1776), he joined the British army and by 1777 was a commissioned Lieutenant in the Prince of Wales American Regiment. Being a part owner in the 25 ton sloop "Lively" with Abraham Veal, Cortlandt Skinner requested its use in the army at Staten Island to carry fuel, but was later captured and lost.
Grace Bonnell suddenly died on 30 Nov. 1780 at Perth Amboy, and was buried at the Trinity Churchyard. The love, wealth and prestige was now gone from Isaac's life. The estate at Perth Amboy was spared confiscation and given to the three children, but other properties were taken and sold off by the Patriots (A.O.13:17). A house and two lots were put up for sale on 6 April 1780 in Middlesex County, New Jersey (NJ newspaper extracts 1780, p.303). Now stationed in and around New York City the Bonnell family lived as loyalist refugee's as Isaac fought many battles for his King and Great Britain. William Franklin, the last provincial governor of New Jersey was now the voice of the loyalists in NYC. By 1783 that voice changed to silence as the war ended and Franklin retreated to England and the loyalists departed New York in the biggest fleet ever to exodus the North American continent. The disputed numbers of 30,000 to 100,000 loyalists and their families headed to Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario, Bahamas, England, Sierra Leone, Bermuda and other remote areas of the globe. Many snuck back into the United States because living conditions were so poor or the need for family contact.
In a new book written in 1985 by Willard Randall. "Benjamin Franklin & His Son, published by Little, Brown states that "William designed the special kite and actually flew it in a dangerous storm while Ben took shelter in a hut nearby" and "was virtually the co-discoverer, with his father of electricity" (L.A. Life, Daily News - 7 April 1985).
Fleet after fleet landed in Nova Scotia throughout 1783. At first Isaac bought a small log hut with windows of greased paper and a lot of land for fifty guineas. By 1786, Isaac and his son were living in Digby, Nova Scotia already appointed Justice of the Peace
and the Judge of the Common Pleas. Isaac was also a merchant and was a highly respected man and gave much to the poor and a devoted Christian. He received a small
pension of 15 pounds a year until 1805. He was granted 210 pounds of his claim of just over 635 pounds; and given 30 pounds per year during the war for his loss of income as Barrackmaster (A.O.12:15, A.O. 12:63, A.O. 12:74, A.O. 12:109). His memorials of 10 Feb. 1784 and 28 May 1789 were presented in London by attorney William Taylor. His claims of loss were, 3 lots in Perth Amboy and houses, his sloop, loss of office as Sheriff and Barrackmaster and debts owed by Alexander Watson who died in British lines.
Isaac received the following land grants in and around Digby (Loyalists & Land Settlement in Nova Scotia, by Gilroy, 1937, published by NS Archives).
1796...... Digby............................ Water lot.
1800...... Digby............................ Water lot.
1801...... Digby Township............ 801 acres
On the night of the 7th. instant, Isaac Bonnell, Esq. at age 70 died at Digby, Nova Scotia having an unblemished reputation (Saint John newspaper, 10 Nov. 1806). He was buried 11 Nov. 1806 at Digby. The Executors to his estate was his son, William F. Bonnell and son-in-law Elisha Budd.
One of his daughters married Mr. Elisha Budd and the other daughter married Feb. 1793 to William C. Tonge, Esq., she having already died by 1806 leaving one child. William Franklin Bonnell had a son who bore the same name as he and in 1861 became the first Postmaster of Gagetown, New Brunswick, Canada.

Decision : CONF 209 VIII.A.1
Miguasha Park (Canada)
Property: Miguasha Park
Id. N°: 686Rev
State Party: Canada
Criteria: N(i)
In its representation of vertebrate life, Miguasha Park is the most outstanding fossil site in the world for illustrating the Devonian as the "Age of Fishes". The area is of paramount importance in having the greatest number and best preserved fossil specimens found anywhere in the world of the lobe-finned fishes that gave rise to the first four-legged, air-breathing terrestrial vertebrates - the tetrapodes.
The Committee decided to inscribe the site under natural criterion (i). The Committee commended the Government of Canada for the rigorous comparative assessment applied to this nomination and noted it as a model for future fossil nominations. Following an intervention of the Delegate of Thailand, IUCN highlighted the results of the comparative study on Devonian sites and elaborated on how this site addresses criterion (i).


text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Duff & Phelps ( DUF) said Sunday it had agreed to be purchased for $665.5 million in cash by a group of private equity investors. The purchasing consortium consists of The Carlyle Group, Stone Point Capital LLC, Pictet & Cie and Edmond de Rothschild Group. The group will pay $15.55 a share, a 19% premium to the $13.05 closing level of Duff & Phelps' shares on Friday. In a news release, Duff & Phelps said the deal was expected to close in the first half of 2013. Noah Gottdiener, chief executive officer of Duff & Phelps, said the transaction was in the best interest of shareholders, who receive "an immediate and certain cash premium for their shares." Gottdiener also said the deal would be structured to "preserve the firm's independence." New York-based Duff & Phelps provides financial advisory and investment banking services. The deal provides for a "go-shop" period -- ending Feb. 8 -- during which Duff & Phelps can seek superior offers from other potential suitors. There is a $6.65 million breakup fee if Duff & Phelps cancels the deal because of a superior proposal made during the "go-shop" period.

A cruise through the farmers' market in mid-summer will give you the idea that there are six or seven zillion kinds of greens. In reality, though, there are only two: small and big.
Small greens are the tender, salady kind you can eat raw—Romaine, butterhead lettuce, mache. Big greens are the tougher kinds that need to be cooked—kale, chard and collards are the most common, but there are many others. Luckily, with the exception of collards, which need longer cooking times, you can treat them all the same way: Wash them, stem them, chop them, cook them until tender.
- Sauté chopped greens with garlic and olive oil, add a marinara sauce (homemade or jarred), and serve over pasta.
- In a covered pot (clay pots work best), roast a chicken on a bed of collard greens (other greens will turn to mush), surrounded by cut-up root vegetables. It's three dishes in one.
- Chop a slice or two of bacon and sauté. Cook chopped greens in the bacon fat (drain some off first if there's a lot), and add a can of drained white or black beans. It's a great side for chicken or pork.
- Add greens to egg dishes like quiches, frittatas and omelets.
- Add raw chopped greens to soup and simmer until the greens are cooked (usually about 10 minutes). This works particularly well with hearty soups like lentil or mushroom-barley. It even works with canned soups.

BRISTOL, R.I. - At its first game in a week, the MIT men's soccer team fell to Roger Williams with a score of 4-1 on the road on Wednesday afternoon. Sophomore Sean Bingham (Garden City, N.Y.) scored the lone goal for the Engineers early in the second period but it was not quite enough to keep the Hawks at bay. Roger Williams is now 6-1 for the season, while Tech fell to 3-3.
MIT played strongly from the beginning of the game, controlling the ball right from the start and taking multiple back-to-back shots at goalkeeper John Pelloso, all of which were either saved or knocked out of play. At the 22 minute mark, juniors Nicholas Diamantoni (Boca Raton, Fla.) and Chester Chambers (Columbia, Md.) took shots at Pelloso seconds apart, but both were saved. Shortly thereafter, Roger Williams gained control and, with just over 15 minutes remaining in the first half, Trevor Hoxsie scored the first goal of the game following a cross from Daniel Caruso.
The Hawks took four more shots at net, two of which had to be saved by junior keeper Sam Cannon (Scarsdale, N.Y.). With 45 seconds remaining on the clock, Cooper Allebrand scored Roger Williams' second goal off a penalty kick following an MIT foul.
Starting the second period with a 2-0 lead, Roger Williams gained possession immediately, taking two shots at net just a minute apart, both of which were saved by Cannon. At 53:28, Bingham scored an unassisted goal, his sixth of the season. He currently leads the Engineers in goals this season, as he did last year as well.
Shortly after Bingham's goal, Hoxsie scored another goal, increasing the Hawks' lead. At the 85 minute mark, with just under five minutes remaining in the game, Hoxsie scored his third goal of the game. Neither team was able to get close enough to the opposing net to take another shot in the remaining minutes, so time elapsed with a Roger Williams' victory.
MIT was outshot, 19-15, but Cannon had to make eight saves compared to Pelloso's five. Cannon is now 0-1 for the season. Senior Matthew Monheit (Abington, Pa.) led the Engineers with four shots on goal.
Tech will open New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) play on Saturday, Sept. 21, when it travels down the road to face league newcomer Emerson College at 4:00 p.m.

|Product Type
|4.5"H x 8" diameter
|Made in
|United States
|Please Note
|Succulents do not require a great deal of care, but please keep the following in mind when caring for your succulents. Succulents prefer bright light, but cannot tolerate intense direct sunlight. Succulents that are under too much light intensity will have a bleached appearance and succulents without enough light will become elongated and appear to "reach for sunlight." Over-watering succulents can cause the plants to die. To water your succulents, use a spray bottle to avoid over-watering.
You may notice a smell accompanying the root of earth items due to the natural oil that is used to finish them. This oil is food safe and to thin the oil you can be wipe off the board with a dry clean cloth.
|Product Care
Succulents need a brightly lit area but not intense or direct sunlight. Be sure not to over water, as there are no drain holes in the included root of the earth bowl - simply mist with spray bottle. If succulents start elongating they need more light, if they start looking bleached they are receiving too much intense sunlight. Bonus: Cut back tips and replant them to grown your own succulents!
Root products are untreated, so cracks and natural variations will likely occur with age and drying. We recommend you keep these items out of direct sunlight or heat. Regular oiling with food-grade oil—such as olive oil—will help to maintain moisture and luster. The natural finish may develop a mild tackiness; to remedy, simply wipe clean with a light coat of olive oil.
|Additional Information
|There are artists, crafters, makers, builders, carpenters and all other types of artisans right here in our own backyards, and our hope is that when you think of beautiful, handcrafted products from across the globe, you think of them too. Buying domestically can be more eco-conscious, as it reduces transportation needs and consequently the energy and natural resources expended in the process; this makes us huge proponents of shopping locally.
Starting at: $35.00

The deep rich colors of Milk Paint reflect those colors found on existing antique furniture. It is a favorite among Windsor Chair and Shaker Box makers.
As in originally produced home-made milk paint, this product uses milk protein, lime, clay, and earth pigments such as ochre, umber, iron oxide, and lampblack. The lime becomes totally inert when mixed with the slightly acid milk protein. Contains no hydrocarbons or any other petroleum derivatives. Milk Paint is packaged in a dry powder form allowing you to control the thickness of the paint for use as either a wash/stain, full cover coat, or for stenciling. Colors can be mixed to form other hues. Each 8 oz. package will make one pint of milk paint.

Facebook, Microsoft Release Data on Info Handed Over to Government
(NEW YORK) -- When reports of the National Security Agency's alleged program to gain "direct access" to large amounts of Internet communications (code-named PRISM) was first reported last week, the technology companies tied to the reports all denied participation in the surveillance program – but they also urged the government to allow for more transparency regarding the requests they do receive.
On Friday evening, after reaching an agreement with the FBI and Department of Justice, Facebook and Microsoft were the first companies to release transparency reports. Facebook revealed that the company received between 9,000 and 10,000 data requests from local, state and federal governments in the last six months of 2012. Within those, access to or information about 18,000 to 19,000 individual Facebook accounts were requested. During that same period, Microsoft received between 6,000 and 7,000 requests for access to a total of 31,000 to 32,000 accounts.
"As of today, the government will only authorize us to communicate about these numbers in aggregate, and as a range," Facebook General Counsel Ted Ullyot wrote in a Facebook blog post. "This is progress, but we're continuing to push for even more transparency, so that our users around the world can understand how infrequently we are asked to provide user data on national security grounds.
"These requests run the gamut – from things like a local sheriff trying to find a missing child, to a federal marshal tracking a fugitive, to a police department investigating an assault, to a national security official investigating a terrorist threat," Ullyot wrote.
Ullyot reminded readers Facebook has more than 1 billion users, maintaining that "a tiny fraction of 1 percent of our user accounts were the subject of any kind of U.S. state, local, or federal U.S. government request (including criminal and national security-related requests) in the past six months."
Microsoft's deputy general counsel, John Frank, made similar points in a post of his own: "This only impacts a tiny fraction of Microsoft's global customer base."
Facebook and Microsoft agreed that the numbers were a step toward providing greater transparency, but because of the nature of the classified and sensitive information, the government has not allowed for more to be disclosed.
"We continue to believe that what we are permitted to publish continues to fall short of what is needed to help the community understand and debate these issues," Frank wrote.
Earlier this week, Facebook, Google and Microsoft petitioned the government to allow them to share more about the scope and size of the user-data requests.
Google, however, doesn't think Facebook and Microsoft's approach is helpful and is instead looking to just reveal the numbers of the requests national security requests on its own.
"We have always believed that it's important to differentiate between different types of government requests," Google said in a statement on Friday night. "We already publish criminal requests separately from National Security Letters. Lumping the two categories together would be a step back for users. Our request to the government is clear: to be able to publish aggregate numbers of national security requests, including FISA disclosures, separately."

860-880 Lake Shore Drive
Original situation or character of site: After completion the towers were marketed as a cooperative apartment building and are fully occupied by September 1952.
The twin structures located perpendicular from each other are considered among Chicago's most famous and prestigious apartment buildings. The pair of twenty-six-story towers at 860/ 880 Lake Shore Drive are located along the City's Gold Coast Extending from Chestnut Street north one block to Delaware Street with a view to Lake Michigan across the drive. Also important, is the site plan of the two buildings, which is shaped in a triangular shape and working with the position of 860 and 880 allows both buildings maximum views of the Lake Michigan.
Name(s) of surrounding area/building(s): The Promontory Apartments,5530 S Shore Drive, Chicago, IL
Other relations: The Promontory Apartments (5530 S Shore Drive, Chicago) constructed by Mies van der Rohe in 1948 for Herbert Greenwald were originally designed to have a glass and steel exterior. The final design instead utilized concrete with exposed columns, however the buildings alternate drawings were later developed into the design of 860-880 Lake Shore Drive. As stated above, in January 2007, an approximately $7.5 million restoration of the buildings was announced that will include travertine repair, restoration of the plaza and lobby interiors, exterior steel returned to the original black color, restoration of exterior glass panes to sandblasted glass.
The technical significance of 860-880 Lake Shore Drive is seen in both Mies' choice of materials and structural approach. The buildings are considered his first application of glass and steel curtain wall on high-rise apartments houses in Chicago. The materials themselves are also one of the few steel and glass residential high rises in Chicago.
"The Glass Houses." Known as a modern architecture landmark, the buildings also represent a sleek style of modern living in its contemporary structure. The building is on the United States National Register and also was the first Mie's van der Rohe designated landmark in the city of Chicago.
The cultural and aesthetic evaluation can be seen through the buildings comparative significance. The towers are considered trailblazers in international style and the evolution of both the curtain wall and Mies van der Rohe's design influence on the city of Chicago. Recently featured on a USPS postal stamp celebrating "Master works of Modern Architecture", the buildings are considered the symbol of the international style in Chicago. Further serving as inspiration for similar structures around the world, 860- 880 Lake Shore Drive is still considered one of the most pure examples of international style in a skyscraper. Canonical status : As a symbol of modern architecture, the buildings have held a status of being designed by a "celebrity architect." As the appreciation of modernism has increased in recent years the role of these modern towers are integral in understanding the evolution of modern design in residential structures as well as the architectural and design growth of Mies van der Rohe. Furthermore, the buildings reflect and enforce the status of Chicago as being on the forefront of architectural patronage and design during the 20th century.
The referential value of the buildings is their place as one of the first modern residential high rise structures in Chicago. The structures capture a moment in modern history that combines both a social and aesthetic crossroads in the city of Chicago. Capturing the sentiment of "modern living" reflected in the composition of glass and steel, the towers reflect both the sentiment of the mid twentieth century and the role of architecture in reflecting the aspirations of its generation of architects. Its status as a symbol of the International Style in Chicago and around the world only serves to reinforce the importance of most pure examples of the international style in a skyscraper. 860 and 880 Lake Shore Drive also mark a point of when the Chicago School of Architecture (started by Sullivan, Burnham and Root et al.) reaches its "height of modernism" (in the use of architectural innovations)- with the glass and steel construction, high rise structure and curtain wall façade. All advances put in place with the work of the original architects of the Chicago school and achieving full recognition and application by Mies and other architects at this point.

You don't have to tell Amanda Ardrey and Mallory McDow that the temperature climbed to almost 95 degrees on Saturday, July 10. The humidity was a stuffy, sticky 95 percent that day, too.
"It was hot, hot, hot," said Amanda, 7.
Hot enough that the two enterprising girls went through six gallons of lemonade at their homemade stand on Freemont Drive in the Arrowood subdivision.
"We sat there for hours," 8-year-old Mallory said. "We had a tree and two chairs, so we were OK."
In most cases, bee stings are a minor problem that can be treated at home. Here's how:
– A bee will leave behind a stinger attached to a venom sac. Look for a small dark object like a splinter. Try to remove it as quickly as possible with tweezers. The stinger is a self-contained unit that includes a barb, a venom sac and muscles that can continue to pump venom into the bloodstream for 20 minutes after it was left behind. Wasps, yellow jackets and hornets don't leave their stingers in the skin.
In the PS2 game, "Garfield: Lasagna World Tour," the lovable orange cat explores Egypt, Italy and Mexico in search of clues needed to win his weight in his favorite dish.
In the world of video games, that might work.
But in real life, Garfield might be headed in the wrong direction. He won't find a whiff of lasagna in "the Boot," the Land of the Pharaohs or in the City of Palaces.
According to the BBC, he would only find his one love in Great Britain.
That's right.
Charlie Bundy would rather be safe than sorry.
If Bundy is out working at his farm in the Tabernacle community or anywhere he might encounter a bee, hornet, wasp or yellow jacket, he will have an emergency epinephrine autoinject (EpiPen) nearby.
Epinephrine is used to treat life-threatening allergic reactions to insect bites, foods, medications, latex and other allergens.
"I'm going to be cautious," Bundy said. "Sometimes, you can spend all day out in the country and not see a soul. You do what you have to do, I guess."
Some legal matters are so important that they make it before the U.S. Supreme Court.
In 1893, one of the greatest legal cases of all time was put to rest when Chief Justice Melville Fuller and associate judges Stephen Field, John Harlan, Horace Gray, Samuel Blatchford, David Brewer, Henry Brown, George Shiras Jr. and Howell Jackson unanimously ruled that a tomato was indeed a vegetable and not a fruit.
No, this is not some gag. The case – Nix v. Hedden – addressed whether a tomato was classified as a fruit or vegetable.
For Bill Stokes, nothing matches the serenity of paddling the Catawba River on a crisp, early fall morning.
"I can talk about it for hours," Stokes said. "You arrive at sunrise when there's a little mist on the water before the crowd gets out. There's just no better place to watch birds and wildlife."
That love of nature is why Stokes took up kayaking a little more than 12 years ago. He paddles somewhere just about every weekend.
Sure, it's a chance to get some exercise and enjoy Mother Nature at her best.
Ron Edwards was grateful to see Monday afternoon's heavy downpour.
Edwards, general manager of The Springs Farm in Fort Mill, said right now, crops there can use all the rain Mother Nature provides.
"It's taken a toll," Edwards said of the recent heat wave. "The tomatoes and squash will take as much water as you can give them."
But the recent rainfall will have very little impact on the ripening peaches that growers are busy harvesting.

Some 19 years ago, Midenna Anderson showed up at the Lancaster County Pool to watch her daughter, Emily Anderson McCain, practice for an upcoming Lancaster Swim Team meet.
The longtime McDonald Green Elementary School kindergarten teacher said she plopped down in a lounge chair to observe.
"That was all I was here for," Anderson said.
All of that changed when former swim team coach Lynn Hammond saw Anderson sitting there. Anderson readily admits that at that time, she knew little about triple kicks, arm flies and negative splits.
By the time Andy Harper made it to the Lancaster County Fruit and Vegetable Growers' Association Market at Ace Hardware on South Market Street on Wednesday morning, the pickings were slim.
There wasn't any okra, squash and cucumbers left.
But that was OK. Harper still drove off with a bag of hot green and red peppers and 2 pounds of tomatoes grown by Nathaniel and Mae Barber.
What is different about this market is the crops sold there are grown in Lancaster.
Since its introduction in mid-April, Kentucky Fried Chicken has sold more than 10 million of its first-ever bun-less chicken sandwich, the KFC Double Down.
But the one-of-a-kind sandwich, has sparked a nutritional outcry from critics.
Made with two thick, white meat chicken filets, two pieces of bacon, two melted slices of Monterrey Jack and pepper jack cheese and the "Colonel's Sauce," the original version of the Double Down contains 540 calories and 32 grams of fat. By comparison, the grilled version has 460 calories and 23 grams of fat.
The menu for 22 residents of Lancaster Children's Home on Wednesday morning was typical breakfast fare; bacon, ham, eggs, grits and toast.
But toasting milk in stemware set on tables adorned with fresh flowers, burning candles, name cards?
That's not a common sight.
But it was a sight to stem some table manner confusion, said Annette Deese, Children's Home director.
See Lancaster SC's Peggy Little, with a little help, schooled the group, ages 8 to 17, in former dinner etiquette.
Anything is possible.
In the late 1980s, few people outside the Columbia music scene knew who Mark Bryan, Dean Felber, Darius Rucker and Jim Sonefeld were.
All of that changed in 1994 when the four, collectively known as Hootie & the Blowfish, released "Cracked Rear View."
That musical breakthrough was characterized by the national media as "instant success."
But musician and University of South Carolina graduate David Reed knows there is no such thing. It takes more than talent.
The July 4 holiday is summer entertaining at its best.
We pack the picnic basket and head out to relax with family and friends or light the grill and invite them over for an Independence Day celebration.
Given that, we don't want to stay in the kitchen with the oven turned on any longer than we have to. And if we are outside, we want something that's going to be refreshing and cool.
With abundant sunshine and high temperatures forecast near 90 degrees in the extended forecast on Saturday and Sunday, cool, shady spots are going to be in demand.
The fourth of July is almost here. With the holiday falling on Sunday, there are two days of professional fireworks shows in this area to choose from. Here are some of the local events:
– Rock Hill is hosting Red, White and Boom at 6 p.m. July 3 at the Old Town Amphitheater on Black Street. There will be children's activities, live music and food vendors. For details, call (803) 329-8756 or e-mail email@example.com.
The natural appeal of Kay Zaitz' yard at 202 W. Springs St. really draws attention. Chock-full of perennials and woodsy plant material, the yard has been named the June Yard of the Month by the Lancaster Council of Garden Clubs.
"The garden of Kay Zaitz is absolutely a veritable display of most plants known to mankind," said Jackie Palmer, YOTM chairwoman. "She has a vast array of different specimens, planted cottage-style."
When Brittany Hill downloaded a copy of the schedule for the upcoming Miss South Carolina pageant, it was printed on purple paper.
For Hill, Miss Lancaster 2010, everything keeps coming up as a mixture of red and blue.
When part of the white swimsuit Hill planned to wear Wednesday night disappeared before the approval process at the Marriot in Spartanburg on Mother's Day weekend, she went with the back-up swimsuit, which is purple.
Eight area churches are partnering with the Society of St. Andrew to provide fresh, in-season vegetables for needy families in Lancaster this summer.
Dubbed Squash Out Hunger, the ministry includes Eastside Baptist, Hopewell United Methodist, New Hope AME Zion, Spring Hill Baptist, Tabernacle United Methodist, Union Baptist, Unity ARP and Zion United Methodist churches.

It can't be separated with the gain of cellular devices used a growing number of people. The demand for those apps has increased through the years.

Well, it's officially here. Instead of Hollywood rabidly chasing the success of "Harry Potter" by turning every semi-known kid-lit book into a potential big screen franchise, the powers that be are now consumed with rebuilding the extraordinarily profitable "Twilight" phenomenon.
"Red Riding Hood" is the first full-bodied, unabashed rip-off of the sparkly vampire series, doing whatever it can to mirror the romantic fantasy powerhouse, even hiring the director of the original "Twilight" picture, Catherine Hardwicke, to reheat the "magic," only this time using the forgiving fairy tale milieu to obscure the absurdly obvious trace lines.
In the isolated village of Daggerhorn, the inhabitants have grown accustomed to werewolf attacks, using animal sacrifice as a way of warding off true calamity. Valerie (Amanda Seyfried, looking mortified) is a young girl facing an arranged marriage to stable nobleman Henry (Max Irons), while her heart pines for rugged woodcutter Peter (Shiloh Fernandez).
When Valerie's sister is killed in the night, the town fears a werewolf invasion, turning to hunter Solomon (Gary Oldman) and his team of warriors to come and kill the snarling menace. Instead of salvation, Solomon turns the village into a prison of paranoia and suspicion, with Valerie soon accused of witchcraft, leaving her grandmother (Julie Christie) the only person left she can trust.
With Tim Burton's 3D "Alice in Wonderland" managing to clear one billion dollars in worldwide box office, it seems the age of fairy tale adaptation is upon us. It's one thing to reimagine these peculiar fantasies as ornate visual effect extravaganzas, taking full advantage of current technology to translate timeless tales into epic cinema; however, "Red Riding Hood" isn't aiming to capture the mysterious feel of the folktale.
Instead, the feature contorts precious dark whimsy into an unappetizing "Twilight" knock-off, reworking a minimal tale of a red-cloaked girl and her sneaky wolf troubles into a dreamy horror picture, complete with two comatose suitors, forbidden love, and a pronounced teen-bait vibe that shuns classic fairytale posture to slouch and moan, somehow equating this behavior to soulful yearn.
It's genuinely amazing how readily Hardwicke steals from herself, as if "Red Riding Hood" was a chance to correct everything that went wrong with her original "Twilight" experience. We have the same sweeping remote vistas, a crunchy metallic score, young actors cast strictly for their looks, plenty of syrupy swoon, CG werewolves, and even a "Twilight" cast member blended into the mix, with Bella's dad, Billy Burke, returning to play"¦well, Valerie's dad.
It's a paint by numbers directing effort from Hardwicke, yet she still manages to twist excruciating familiarity into a thoroughly unbearable drag. Spending more time on her claustrophobic sets than working the film into a sufficient lather, "Red Riding Hood" offers zero tension and less authentic sensuality.
It's abysmal community theater with a juicy budget, displaying a cast in clownish renaissance fair garb spouting truly dreadful lines from screenwriter David Leslie Johnson (the mind behind the equally absurd "Orphan") as they look to dodge Hardwicke's spastic camerawork. There's obvious embarrassment in the air, emerging from an ensemble that's struggling to retain some trickle of dignity while Hardwicke spends the entirety of the film staging dead-eyed professions of love and inane village monkey business.
The only actor brave enough to push the filmmaker aside is Oldman, but he's cranked up in full ham mode, screaming and spraying to make an impression, contributing noise instead of preferred hellfire. It's an easy role for the beloved actor and he knows it, making an absolute stink while the rest of the cast stomps around in a zombified state, courteously waiting for their director to bring on the suspense. Or, at the very least, something substantial to react to.
"Red Riding Hood" pays dreamscape homage to the famous text ("Oh, grandmother, what big eyes you have!"), while filling a few corners of the frame with further fairy tale tributes to feel like it's done its homework. The rest is more Agatha Christie than Brothers Grimm, with the community pulled apart by accusations when Solomon reveals the werewolf is a shapeshifter.
This revelation might suggest a rush of excitement, but in Hardwicke's hands, the tension never materializes, handed to unqualified actors who look baffled with the artificial world around them. There's also unfinished business with Valerie and the men in her life, which leads to unconvincing bouts of romantic exchange and an aborted sex scene to keep the tale somewhat chaste, though flush enough to compete with the story's various lustful interpretations.
"Red Riding Hood" endeavors to provide a visual feast (think a DTV version of Ridley Scott's sumptuous 1985 fantasy, "Legend"), but there's not enough scope to explore, and the script rudely insists on steady dialogue to prevent dead air. The editing is equally shameful, jumping around without concern for spatial relationships or rhythm, desperate to make Hardwicke's inability to accurately mount a motion picture seem exciting.
Instead, the feature is relentlessly clumsy; if scenes aren't aesthetically bungled, they're a complete bore to watch unfold. In my eyes, Hardwicke hasn't offered a competent directorial effort to date, with "Red Riding Hood" a new low for the filmmaker. Not only is the feature a total eyesore, but one perfectly content to pilfer from a fad. Trust me, five "Twilight" movies are more than enough.

Top Doctors 2012
583 Doctors and Nurses in 72 Specialties
Search our most recent database of Top Doctors.
Seattle Met's annual Top Doctors rankings are in. Over 4,500 doctors in the Seattle metropolitan area participated in our 2012 survey, the result of a partnership between Seattle Met and Avvo. Avvo rates and profiles 90 percent of doctors in the U.S., including every doctor in Washington state.
The 2012 survey is more comprehensive than ever, with active participation from almost 40 percent of doctors practicing in King, Kitsap, and Snohomish counties, and parts of Pierce County. Avvo's proprietary algorithms rate doctors on a 10-point scale, employing not only peer endorsements but factors such as experience, education, training, disciplinary history, fellowships, hospital privileges, and awards. Avvo's dynamic ratings of the 12,583 doctors in the survey area are regularly refreshed based on new information gleaned from doctors as well as from certifying and licensing boards. The doctors on the pages that follow represent the top 4 percent of practitioners in their fields as of May 2012.
For specialists not included in Avvo's service—advanced registered nurse practitioners in nine specialties, acupuncturists, chiropractors, naturopaths, and optometrists—the rankings are based on nominations by doctors, nurses, physician's assistants, and other health care professionals. Our survey asked those professionals to name the colleagues they would choose to treat themselves and their loved ones.
The resulting list of 583 top practitioners in their fields is presented here alphabetically by specialty. As of press time, all the top-ranked doctors and nurses were certified to practice in their fields by the Washington State Department of Health.
Seattle Met researchers gave medical professionals the opportunity to specify areas of focus within their practice or exemplary cases recently treated. For example, a doctor in the field of cardiology might list cardiovascular risk assessment, preventive cardiology, diagnostic cardiology, and cholesterol management to provide the reader with more context regarding her practice. This in no way indicates that the doctor's practice is limited to those areas of focus.
We've given close attention to creating a comprehensive and detailed list, but this reference is best used as just one step in the careful journey toward finding doctors who are right for you.
*Footnote The following updates have been made to the Top Doctors 2012 list: Physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist Keith S. Hardy passed away and has been removed from the list. Michelle Heath, originally listed as a top internist, actually practices dermatology and has been removed from the list. Rather than at a private practice, Timothy Jacobs practices general and breast pathology at Virginia Mason. Diagnostic radiologist Peter Ory works at Highline Medical Center, not Harborview. Pediatrician Lorena Shih practices at Pediatric Associates, not Evergreen as stated. Anesthesiologist Monica Vavilala does not have a private practice (206-744-3210); she practices at UW Medicine (206-744-4371). Thomas K. Varghese is a thoracic surgeon and does not practice general surgery as we stated. Family doctor David A. Acosta is not a full-time doctor and only occasionally sees patients at UW Medicine. And family and preventive doctor William R. Phillips no longer sees patients; he is a professor who runs a fellowship program while working with medical students at UW Medicine; he has been removed from the list.

Swing Time
One of the greatest golfers in history, 18-time major winner Jack Nicklaus, joined 350 guests at The Peninsula Chicago for the Western Golf Association's third annual Green Coat Gala. Nicklaus spent the evening onstage fielding questions from two-time U.S. Open champion and ESPN lead golf analyst Andy North, covering topics ranging from his friendship with fellow golf great Arnold Palmer to his most memorable wins and losses. All told, more than $900,000 was raised to fund college scholarships for golf caddies through the Evans Scholars Foundation. –Photos by Charles Cherney

Thought I'd give them a go, using your SnS fryer method, Polarbear777 , or I may try the gasser. These days I'm all about keeping the mess and the smell of fried food outside.
T-Shirts & More

Cool Embroidered Shirt
This beautifully embroidered shirt is the same one Meathead wears in public and on TV. It's wash and wear and doesn't need ironing (really!), but it is a soft cottonlike feel. Choice of four colors and both men's and women's.
Many merchants pay us a small referral fee when you click our links and purchase from them. On Amazon it works on everything from grills to diapers, they never tell us what you bought, and it has zero impact on the price you pay, but has a major impact on our ability to improve this site! And remember, we only recommend products we love. If you like AmazingRibs.com, please save this link and use it every time you go to Amazon.
Surely you know somebody who loves outdoor cooking who deserves a gift for the holidays, birthday, anniversary, or just for being wonderful. There he is, right in the mirror! Here are our selections of best ideas, all Platinum or Gold Medalists, listed by price.
A good digital thermometer keeps you from serving dry overcooked food or dangerously undercooked food. They are much faster and much more accurate than dial thermometers. YOU NEED ONE!
The Slow 'N' Sear turns your grill into a first class smoker and also creates an extremely hot sear zone you can use to create steakhouse steaks.
The Broil King Signet 320 is a modestly priced, 3-burner gas grill that packs a lot of value and power under the hood. Broil King's proprietary, dual-tube burners get hot fast and are able to achieve high, searing temps that rival most comparatively priced gas grills. The quality cast aluminum housing carries a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
The Good-One Open Range is a charcoal grill with an offset smoke chamber attached. It is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. The grill sits low in front and doubles as a firebox for the smoke chamber which is spliced on above and behind so it can work like a horizontal offset smoker only better. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.
The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, and home fries. Or pancakes, fajitas, grilled cheese, you name it. Why stink up the house deep frying and spatter all over? Do your fried chicken and calamari outside. Blackstone's Rangetop Combo With Deep Fryer does it all. Plus it has a built in cutting board, garbage bag holder, and paper towel holder. An additional work table on the left side provides plenty of counter space.
The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers in the hardware stores because temperature control is so much easier. Best of all, it is only 9 delivered to your door!
The smart folks at ThermoWorks have finally done it: The Swiss Army Knife of thermometers, two in one. Start with the industry standard food thermometer, the Thermapen MK4, (Platinum Medal winner) truly instant (2 to 3 seconds) precise (+ or – 0.7°F). Then they built in an infrared thermometer ideal for measuring the temps of pizza stones, griddles, and frying pans (also great for finding leaks around doors and windows in your house).
Char-Broil's Grill2Go x200 is a super-portable, fun little sizzler made of heavy, rust-proof cast aluminum. The lid snaps shut. Grab the handle and you're off to the party! Char-Broil's TRU-Infrared design produces searing heat while reducing fuel consumption. A 16 ounce LP gas canister is enough to keep you flipping burgers for hours.
Their NK22CK-C Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front, spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees. It's hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds its own and adds some unique features to make the NK22CK-C a viable alternative.
If you're using oven mitts at the grill, it's time to trade up. Say hello to these suede welder's gloves. They're heat resistant enough to handle hot grill grates, and flexible enough to handle tongs. The extra long sleeves even let you reach deep into the firebox to move hot logs without getting burned. Our Fave.
GrillGrates(TM) amplify heat, prevent flareups, make flipping foods easier, keep small foods from committing suicide, kill hotspots, are easier to clean, flip over to make a fine griddle, and can be easily removed and moved from one grill to another. You can even throw wood chips, pellets, or sawdust between the rails and deliver a quick burst of smoke to whatever is above. Every gas grill needs them.
The amazing Karubecue is the most innovative smoker in the world. The quality of meat from this machine is astonishing. At its crux is a patented firebox that burns logs above the cooking chamber and sucks heat and extremely clean blue smoke into the thermostat controlled oven. It is our favorite smoker, period.
Set ThermoTemp's dial from 175° to 350°F and the thermostat inside will adjust the burner just like an indoor kitchen oven. All you need to do is add wood to the tray above the burner to start smokin'.
Our founder, Meathead, wanted the same steak knives used by steakhouses such as Peter Luger, Smith & Wollensky, Morton's, Kobe Club, Palm, and many others. So he located the manufacturer and had them stamp our name on some. They boast pointed, temper-ground, serrated, high-carbon stainless-steel, half-tang blades with excellent cutting edge ability. The beefy hardwood handle provides a comfortable grip secured by three hefty rivets. He has machine washed his more than 100 times. They have never rusted and they stay shiny without polishing. Please note that we do not make, sell, or distribute these knives, they just engrave them with our name.
The PK-360, with 360 square inches of cooking space, this rust free, cast aluminum charcoal grill is durable and easy to use. Four-way venting means it's easy to set up for two zone cooking with more control than single vent Kamado grills. It is much easier to set up for 2-zone cooking than any round kamado. Beautifully designed and completely portable. Meathead says it is his preferrred grill.
With the ability to monitor up to six temperatures simultaneously with either Bluetooth or Wifi on your mobile phone, tablet, or computer, Fireboard is the best digital thermometer we've tested.
Green Mountain's portable Davy Crockett Pellet Smoker is one mean tailgating and picnic machine. But it's also gaining popularity with people who want to add a small, set it and forget it pellet smoker to their backyard arsenal. And with their WiFi capabilities you can control and monitor Davy Crocket from your smart phone or laptop.
