There are different types of almond cookies, from almond butter cookies made with almond paste, almond extract and chopped almonds to almond crescent cookies to amaretti to Chinese-American almond cookies, among others.
See buckeye cookie.
See florentine.
Amaretti are the original macaroons; the name means bitter almond. The cookies were developed in an Italian monastery during the Renaissance. The original macaroon, a small, domed shape that is crisp and crunchy on the outside and soft inside, evolved into the French-style macaroon as well as the coconut macaroon. See macaroon and read the history of macaroons.
The type of animal crackers that we know today date to 19th-century England. They were first imported; in the latter part of the century they were manufactured domestically. "Zoologicals" made by local baker Walter G. Wilson were sold at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. Two New York companies, Herfield & Ducker (in Brooklyn) and Vandeveer & Holmes Biscuit Company in Manhattan, manufactured them year-round. Both companies were ultimately acquired by the New York Biscuit Company, which then became part of the National Biscuit Company (known today as Nabisco).
In 1902, the product was repackaged as Barnum's Animals Crackers (the "s" on animals was later dropped) and placed into the current circus cage box for the Christmas season. A string was attached so the box could be hung from the Christmas tree. Several other companies, including Keebler, make animal crackers today. They can be found in chocolate-covered versions as well.
One of the eight basic types of cookies; batter or other ingredients are poured or pressed into a rectangular pan (sometimes in multiple layers), then baked and cut into individual-sized squares. Brownies and lemon bars are examples of bar cookies. In the U.K., bar cookies are known as "tray bakes".
A specialty of the South Carolina Low Country since Colonial times, benne is the Bantu word for sesame. The herb seed was brought from East Africa and planted extensively throughout the South. The benne wafer is a thin cookie, made with toasted sesame seeds. Plain benne wafers are often served with cocktails. They are also made into sandwich cookies, as shown in the photo.
Italians call biscotti cantucci, and use the term biscotti to refer to any type of crunchy cookie, round, square and otherwise (as the British use the word biscuit). In North America, we use the term biscotti as the ancient Romans did, to describe a long, dry, hard twice-baked cookie—in other words, cantucci. While the Tuscan cantucci di Prato were only almond flavored, outside of the region the recipe expanded to include anisette-, amaretto- and lemon-flavored dough and to other spices; to biscotti with raisins and other dried fruits; to biscotti studded with chocolate morsels and with other varieties of nuts. Today, the flavorings are only limited to the imagination of the baker and the palates of the customer. Read the history of biscotti and learn more about cantucci. Other twice-baked cookies include the Dutch rusk, French biscotte and the German zwieback.
The British word for cookie, biscuit, comes from the Latin bis coctum, meaning "twice baked" (also the origin of the Italian word biscotti).
A large, flat, cakelike cookie that is iced half in vanilla icing, half in chocolate icing. It is also called a half moon cookie.
A no-bake cookie made of chopped toasted nuts, finely crushed wafer or shortbread cookies, cocoa powder and Bourbon, held together with light corn syrup. Sometimes the balls are rolled in confectioners' sugar. Rum can be substituted for Bourbon.
Looking for any excuse to eat a cookie, someone created a granola cookie with whole wheat flour, substituted honey and molasses for the sugar, and dubbed it a "breakfast cookie." The recipes became more elaborate, for example, using cherry almond granola, orange pecan granola, and chocolate chip granola. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but a breakfast cookie is still a cookie—just as muffins are a different form of cake.
While cake-like brownies and bars (like lemon bars) are baked in cake pans and have a dense, cakey texture, they are actually classified as bar cookies. See the different types of cookies, and read the origin of brownies.
Inspired by the horse chestnuts that fall from Ohio's famous buckeye trees, both cookies and candy called "Buckeye" are a specialty of The Buckeye State. The name "Buckeye" comes from Native Americans who felt that the nut of the Buckeye tree resembled the eye of a buck deer. The light, round center of the cookie and candy resembles the golden-brown husk of the of the nut. The cookies and candy are generally made with almonds rather than than chestnuts. Here's a recipe for the cookie.
A meltaway shaped into a ball. When chopped pecans are added, they are called pecan balls.
A butter cookie is a cookie with simple ingredients—butter, sugar and flour—in order to show off the delicious quality of butter. There are different types of butter cookies, from crumbly shortbread, to light, powdered sugar-dusted tea cakes, also known as "meltaways" or "wedding cakes." Always use fresh butter when baking butter cookies, since butter that has been stored in the refrigerator can pick up flavors from other foods. A cookie made with shortening or lard instead of butter is called a sugar cookie.

Scapa 425 Pro-Grade Gaffers Tape is a waterproof vinyl-coated cloth, single coated with a natural rubber pressure sensitive adhesive. It is used for securing cables, props and lighting equipment; bundling; waterproof wrapping; packaging; color coding; floor marking; and temporary repairs. Scapa 425 is one of the most adhesive gaffers tapes we sell which enables it adhere longer and more securely than other gaffer tapes. It also has high tack, high tensile strength, and an easy unwind. This tape along with Scapa 125 and 225 all utilize Scapa's extremely low gloss finish/backing and reflects the least amount of light of all the gaffer tapes we sell. The 2 inch width size is also available in a shorter 30 yard length roll. Made in Canada.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Comments about Lincoln Park 3-Piece Lift TV Console with Lift Rack:
I would give this unit a 5 for attractiveness and convenience, but I have to give it 4 for the condition the boxes came in, which caused the back of the unit, the thin piece of wood to be broken and dings on that piece also. The boxes had multiple holes, we expected more damage...also had to get this very heavy piece of furniture into the house since the delivery driver would only leave it in our driveway...

Abandoned by its Palestinian owner in the 1948 war; requisitioned by the Israeli government as vacant; rented to Jewish Algerian immigrants in 1956; purchased by a university professor who undertakes its transformation into a three-story house in 1980 This West Jerusalem building is no longer the microcosm it once was 25 years ago. Its inhabitants dispersed, this common space has disintegrated, but it remains both an emotional and physical center at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian situation. Concrete reality has transformed into scattered stories and memories, and a new identity - a new diaspora - has evolved.

1 pound
1 head
cauliflower, broken into small florets
1/2 cup
olive oil
onion, chopped
2 cloves
garlic, minced
1 teaspoon
chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon
garlic powder
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons
grated Parmesan cheese
Better method-Use 1 head cauliflower cut into florets and seasoned with 2-3 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper, and minced garlic to taste. Roast on a baking sheet in a 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. Meanwhile, make pasta and drain. Toss cauliflower and pasta together (with olive oil from baking sheet) and add 1/2 cup pasta water. Combine. Top with cheese. YUMMY! Something truly wonderful happens when you roast cauliflower. Must try!
Used less oil & added some pasta water as suggested. Also, added 1/4 cup pinenuts & one more clove of garlic, omitted garlic powder. Quick & Easy!

I always roast the cauliflower instead of steaming it. It adds so much more flavor. I toss it with a little olive oil (about 2 tbls per lg head of cauliflower), salt, pepper, granulated garlic and a little onion powder and then roast it in a very hot oven (425*) until very golden brown and pretty limp. Toss that in with your pasta and you will see why roasting the cauliflower instead of steaming it makes all the difference in the world. This is a very common menu item for Meatless Mondays at our house. A lg, full head of cauliflower is just enough for a 16 oz. box of pasta and feeds a family of four nicely as a main dish, with leftovers for the next day. If you can't find a good sized cauliflower (at least 2 to 2 1/2 pounds) then buy two smaller ones. Break the cauliflower up into pieces about as large as a toddler's fist.
I used a head of cauliflower and two bunches of brocolli in this recipe. I also found that using 2 tablespoons of oil was enough. I used shredded parmesan cheese instead of grated.
This is the second time I've reviewed this recipe, but I can't seem to edit my initial post...In an attempt to avoid having to wash another pan, I merely "steamed" the cauliflower with the onion and garlic powder in a covered saute pan. When they were tender I added some white wine and butter for extra flavor and to make a sort of sauce for the pasta. I tossed the cooked pasta with the veggie mixture before topping with cheese.
I have made this twice now and we have decided it is a "keeper". I did not use 1/2 cup of oil, more like 1-2 T., and a little more pamesan cheese. Delicious!! Better than boring steamed cauliflower!!
This was a pretty good meal. I made a few changes though - I roasted the cauliflower and onion in the oven and I think that really made a lot of difference. I coated them in about 2 TBS of olive oil and that was plenty. I also added a bit more garlic then was called for. Per the suggestion of other reviewers, I did add about 1/2 cup of the pasta water to the mix afterwards, which really helped with the dryness. It was very tasty, but next time I will definitely add broccoli and mushrooms.
I did not steam my cauliflower. Instead, I tossed it with a little EVOO and some salt/fresh ground pepper and roasted it. I did increase the garlic by a few cloves, I upped the parmesan cheese and I threw in a little crushed red pepper flake. Not only was this quick to prepare, the boys thought it was very good--even my cauliflower hating husband.

Choosing the Right Filter Media Is Critical to Proper Fume Management in Welding Applications
Filter media come in all shapes and sizes. Choosing the wrong filter media can leave your facility fuming. Choosing the right filter can save time and money while cleaning the air.
The challenge for any welding operation and its environmental team is the ability to properly manage weld fumes in a variety of welding settings. Removing the fumes from the area is only the beginning of the process; how you filter the fume is just as critical as the equipment used to remove the fume. Choosing the right filter media will improve the overall function of the equipment, reduce maintenance, improve airflow, lower costs and improve air quality in the working environment.
Ask any safety manager about cleaning the air in a welding environment; the end game is filtering the fume as well as removing it from the work area. OSHA is taking a harder look at weld fume management, specifically hexavalent chromium (CrVI or Cr6+). Simply relocating welding fume is not an option. It must be captured effectively. And while you can see smoke disappear into a filtration system and clear air comes out, much of the fume itself is actually invisible to the naked eye. Choosing a system should be based on a combined examination of the system and understanding of filter technology. Matching the best filtration with a high efficiency system will lower costs over time.
Weld fumes of all types, whether from carbon steel, aluminum, stainless and others, carry the same basic fume particle signature. Weld fumes are thermally generated particles that require high levels of filtration. Investing in the best equipment but pairing it with the wrong filter media can reduce your expensive fume extraction system into nothing more than a dust collector.
The ultimate decision of what filter media is right for your application boils down to two equally important factors:
Protection of the worker. Filters must allow higher airflow and efficient capture over a long period of time. By providing a higher airflow, they're protecting the workers as expected. The high-efficiency filter captures the thermally generated particulate.
Cost of the equipment, filters and overall operation. Choosing a filter with qualities that include high efficiency, low static pressure drop and surface loading will lower operating costs. Longer filter life will save costs.
Types of filter media
Different types of filter media are offered by numerous companies, each promising cleaner air and the best filtration package available. There are literally thousands of filter configurations and designs. You have to peel back the layers in order to understand what you're really getting. The crowded market can be classed into five basic filter categories. Cellulose, cellulose blend, spunbound polyester, melt-blown composites and surface-enhanced configurations.
Depth-loading filters
The majority of filters on the market are depth-loading, capturing particulates as the air flows through the media. Depth-loading filter media come in a variety of densities. The particles are introduced into the filter and caught in the media of fibers and trapped. As the depth-loading media filter captures particles, it remains functional up to a certain capacity until air can no longer effectively pass through it.
Airflow suffers when the equipment is required to draw air through depth-loaded or plugged filter media. As the media gathers fume and other particles, the filter becomes obstructed, resistance increases and the airflow measurement in cubic feet per minute (cfm) decreases. The fume extraction system is forced to draw more energy and work harder to draw through loaded or plugged filters to maintain the desired airflow. The resistance continues to grow until the filter is replaced. Generally the depth-loading filter is a disposable type that is thrown away at the end of its work cycle.
Type of depth-loading filters include:
- Cellulose. One-time-use-only cellulose filters are used for general filtration of larger size particulate and in general have lower capture efficiencies. Cellulose filters are not the best choice for weld fume extraction. As the filter is dirtied, energy costs go up and airflow becomes more restricted.
- Cellulose Blend. Just what it sounds like: filters blended with cellulose and other materials to increase filter efficiency. These disposable filters are not the best choice for weld fume extraction.
- Spunbond Polyester. Non-woven polyester. Particles are captured in the material. Spunbond polyester can be washed and reused. It falls short of desired fume filtration efficiencies as its intended use is not for the collection of weld fume.
- Melt-blown Composites. Melt-blown technology utilizes microfibers to make a tighter weave that captures more particles. This media type still is depth-loading, and like its cellulose cousins, changes airflow behavior as particles become trapped within the filter. This media type confines particles that are located between the base media and the microfiber weave, thus reducing filter life and its ability to be cleaned.
A surface-loading filter, on the other hand, is less restrictive to the airflow. Surface-enhanced media will capture particles as they pass by the surface, not through the media. These filter media are designed to surface-load with particles but retain longer functionality.
Surface-loading filters
Surface-enhanced technology, like in the Miller FilTek™ XL filter series, are highly effective at capturing weld fume particles. The FilTek XL filter captures the particles on the surface of the media verses depth loading.
Maintenance is easier and the filter lasts longer. By design, surface loading filters allow the collected fume to release with ease when a reverse pulse cleaning cycle is performed. Surface-loading filters can last up-to three times longer than depth-loading filters.
Example of a Surface-Loading Filter:
- FilTek XL from Miller Electric Mfg. Co. Innovative, surface-enhanced filters like the FilTek XL offer improved airflow and efficiency because the fume is captured on the surface of the filter. With surface-loading filters, weld fume does not penetrate deep into the filter, enabling particles to be easily released during the cleaning process and reducing pressure drops. The surface-enhanced media, like the Filtek XL from Miller, is perfect for the capture of weld fumes.
Choosing the filter, know the MERV
MERV stands for "Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value." MERV ratings are used to gauge the ability of the filter media to remove particles from the air and is a reliable standard for measuring the efficiency of the filter.
The MERV rating of a filter describes its effectiveness. The MERV scale ranges from 1 to 16, and measures a filter's ability to remove particles from 0.3 to 10 microns in size. To give you an idea of the scale of a micron, one-thousandth of an inch is 25 microns; 100 microns is about the thickness of a piece of paper or a human hair. Filters with higher ratings not only remove more particles from the air, they also remove the smaller particles that are most concerning for worker protection.
You can see on the following chart that cellulose, cellulose blend and spunbond polyester filters are not adequate for weld fume filtration. Typically the minimum for weld fume extraction is MERV 13 or greater. Put the wrong filter with your fume extraction system, and your system will be ineffective. The quality of the return air suffers when the filters MERV value is not adequate for the particulate being collected.
An overview of FilTek™ XL Filters found in the FILTAIR family of fume extraction products
The bottom line is that selecting a filter specific to welding fume extraction is important because most weld fume particles are less than 1 micron in size. Airborne dust is large in comparison – 1 micron and larger – and is easily captured. As discussed, the minimum recommended MERV-rated filter for weld fume is 13, but filter media designed specifically for weld fume with a MERV rating of 15 or 16 are more robust at dealing with weld fume, capturing 95 percent of weld fume particles and filtering out submicron particles.
Power efficiency with the right filter
FilTek surface-loading filters hold up to six times more dust given the same pressure drop across the filter media compared to common cellulose filters. This ability to hold more dust at lower pressure drops means the collection system blower load is lower overall for a longer period, resulting in higher energy efficiencies and lower energy costs over time.
With the right filter, this feature has two specific benefits.
First, by loading on the surface and not within the filter, particles can be released much easier during the cleaning process. The result is less compressed air usage.
Second, pressure drop across the filter is kept much lower, which results in lower operating costs and stronger suction power for a cleaner workspace. Airflow (cfm) should be measured at the point of extraction (fume generation point). Measuring at the hood gives the most accurate measurement of how effective fume extraction is. Your system is more efficient at the same level of protection, lowering your energy bill.
Keeping it clean
You have a number of options to choose from when selecting a fume extractor. Disposable filter models have lower initial expenditures, however, per-filter costs add up as you frequently change out the system's filter. Automated/online and offline cleaning models offer less maintenance and longer filter life. The automated model options will cost more at install but have a greater long-term value, as the primary filter life is comparable to multiple disposable filters.
No matter what type of filtration system you install, the filter media matters. Choosing a surface-loading filter will not only clean the air, but lower operating costs and save on the consumption of energy. Airflow is minimally affected with the correct surface-loading filter, ensuring that your system is not straining through a clogged filter and instead is providing consistent extraction at the workstation.

The Lodger
Drama, Horror, Suspense/Thriller
Malcolm Slaight arrives at the home of Joe and Ellen Bunting. Ellen is happy to make a little extra money, but also becomes enamored by the charm and eccentricities of this mysterious Lodger. Meanwhile, police detective Chandler Manning begins to track a ruthless killer slaughtering prostitutes along West Hollywood's Sunset Strip. This killer's methods are identical to that of London's infamous psychopath, Jack the Ripper. This is especially troublesome for Manning because earlier in his career he brought a killer to justice who also mimicked Jack the Ripper. Closing in on the killer, Manning finds himself following a trail that leads to a secluded residence located just off the Sunset Strip--right near the Bunting home.

Anne Hathaway was born in Brooklyn, NY on Nov. 12, 1982, and raised in suburban Millburn, NJ. Her father, Gerald, was a lawyer while mother, Kate McCauley, was an actress who inspired Hathaway to follow the same creative path. Hathaway's natural talents proved to be far more evolved than the average high school theater star, resulting in the teenager being accepted into the prestigious Barrow Group Theater Company in New York City. A trained soprano, Hathaway also performed at Carnegie Hall as part of the All Eastern U.S. High School Honors Chorus. Three days after that momentous performance at Carnegie Hall, she was offered a role in the short-lived television drama "Get Real" (Fox, 1999-2000). After a stint in Hollywood, Hathaway returned to graduate from Millburn High School and studied at the academically competitive Vassar College before transferring to New York University. In New York City, she was able to maintain a presence in the acting world while also maintaining a down-to-earth life with students her age.
In 2001, the unknown 19-year-old became an overnight sensation with her lead role in Disney's "The Princess Diaries," after having charmed director Garry Marshall by accidentally falling off her chair during her audition. The slip convinced Marshall that Hathaway was perfect for the role of the awkward American teenager who discovers she is a princess after the death of her absent father, and is groomed for the throne by her regal grandmother (Julie Andrews). Marshall - who had directed "Pretty Woman" (1990) - also saw more than a fleeting glimpse of a Julia Roberts-like look and feel to Hathaway's performance. The family film was a box office success and Hathaway found herself in the position of reluctant role model to tweens everywhere. Her next release was the indie "The Other Side of Heaven" (2002) which had actually been filmed prior to "Princess Diaries," but producers delayed its release when it became apparent that the film's star was about to become an overnight success. Unfortunately, Hathaway's newly bankable name was not enough to transform "The Other Side of Heaven" into a hit, though it did strike a chord with Christian audiences.
Hathaway followed up with a role as beguiling artist Madeline Bray in the Dickens adaptation "Nicholas Nickleby" (2002), which was one of the year's critical picks and a Golden Globe nominee for Best Picture. That year, she also made her Broadway debut as the lead in a revival of "Carnival!" and impressed critics with her well-rounded song and dance talents. Her first misfire - another aspiring Princess tale "Ella Enchanted" (2004) - lacked the sparkle of "Princess Diaries," but Hathaway rebounded with a sequel to her mega-hit, reprising her role in "Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement" (2004). But even though she was a newly minted star with a hefty paycheck rolling in, the actress found herself at a crossroads, dangerously close to being typecast in family fare if she did not make some choices that showcased darker, more complex angles. She made her first break with the past by playing a bored, wealthy Los Angeles teenager who entertains herself by cruising the ghettos for drugs and gang member boyfriends, but advance reviews resulted in straight-to-video status for "Havoc" (2005).
A supporting role in Ang Lee's Academy Award-nominated and controversial "Brokeback Mountain" (2005) successfully showcased the actress' evolving talent to a worldwide audience. Fully decked out as a Texas rodeo queen-turned-businesswoman, Hathaway gave a commanding performance that spanned decades and followed her character's transformation from rambunctious flirt to disillusioned, long-suffering wife of a distant husband with a secret double life (Jake Gyllenhaal). Back in the star seat, Hathaway proved yet again that she was a bankable talent with the hit comedy "The Devil Wears Prada" (2006). Based on the bestselling and critically reviled novel about an assistant at Vogue magazine, Hathaway's character was a plain Jane-turned-glamorous fashionista, as a result of constant humiliation by her demanding boss (Meryl Streep). She eventually rebels against the unreasonable standards of beauty and in a triumphant ending, returns to her true love - wearing flannel and tackling serious journalism.
In 2007, Hathaway took on the daunting role of portraying beloved English novelist Jane Austen in the fictionalized portrait of the author's early years, "Becoming Jane" (2007). While praised for her chemistry with romantic lead James McAvoy and her dedication to immersing herself in the character, the resulting film was a critical toss-up that brought in only moderate business. But another successful comedy was on the horizon, with Hathaway co-starring opposite Steve Carell in the summer release "Get Smart" (2008). As Agent 99, a character made famous by Barbara Feldon in the original 1960s TV series, Hathaway was a perfect casting choice to play the infinitely more competent of the pair of spies. After starring in the independently made, but little-seen disaster thriller "Passengers" (2008), Hathaway gave a standout performance in "Rachel Getting Married" (2008), playing an overly dramatic, crisis-ridden woman who returns home for her sister's wedding. Hailed by critics, Hathaway earned several year-end nominations, including nods for Best Actress at the Independent Spirit Awards, Golden Globes and Academy Awards.
Prior to earning her first Golden Globe nod, Hathaway went through a bad patch of personal trauma that was amplified by public embarrassment. In June 2008, her longtime boyfriend, Italian real estate hotshot, Raffaello Follieri, was arrested by the FBI for defrauding investors through his Follieri Foundation by claiming he had connections to the Vatican that would allow him to buy land owned by the Catholic Church at a discount. Follieri then misappropriated his investor's money by spending upwards of $2.4 million on his lavish lifestyle, which included a $37,500-a-month apartment on 5th Avenue in New York that he shared with Hathaway. The couple was together since 2004, but Hathaway broke off the relationship soon after Follieri's arrest. The FBI did, however, confiscate Hathaway's personal journals - she participated in the foundation's development and was a financial donor - but court papers later stated that she was an unwilling beneficiary of stolen money. Hathaway was in a state of shock for a spell and stayed away from the press, but later gave an interview detailing the fiasco in the October 2008 issue of W magazine.
Hathaway quickly rebounded from her personal trials with "Bride Wars" (2009), a comedy about best friends (Hathaway and Kate Hudson) who schedule their weddings on the same day and at the same location, New York's famed Plaza Hotel. Hathaway continued her romantic comedy streak by joining the ensemble cast of "Valentine's Day" (2010), directed by Garry Marshall. The star-studded film followed the interwoven lives of couples and single people living in Los Angeles on the most romantic day of the year. She delivered another nuanced performance as the eccentric White Queen in Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" (2010), opposite Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter and Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen. Both "Valentine's Day" and "Alice in Wonderland" fared well in the box office, reaffirming Hathaway's commercial appeal. That same year, she won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Voiceover Performance for her guest stint on the long-running animated series, "The Simpsons" (Fox, 1989- ). Continuing her exceptional year, Hathaway earned widespread critical praise for "Love and Other Drugs" (2010), in which she played the alluring and free-spirited Maggie, who develops a powerfully intoxicating romance with a charming pharmaceutical rep (Jake Gyllenhaal). Her acclaimed performance once again brought forth Oscar talk that first led to a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress, while only weeks prior, she was announced as co-host along with James Franco of the 83rd Annual Academy Awards.
Although Hathaway and Franco's stint as Oscar co-hosts met with a mix of ambivalence and derision, voice work in the fowl-themed animated adventure "Rio" (2011) at least put her back on top at the box office. Less successful, both critically and commercially was her turn opposite British actor Jim Sturgess in the dour romantic drama "One Day" (2011). What made critics and fans sit up and take notice, however, was the news that the actress had taken on the role of Selina Kyle (a.k.a. Catwoman) in director Christopher Nolan's blockbuster final installment of his epic trilogy "The Dark Knight Rises" (2012), in which the Batman (Christian Bale) is drawn out of retirement to save his beloved Gotham from a fanatical masked mercenary known as Bane (Tom Hardy). Hathaway received high marks for the sultriest and most physically demanding role of her career in a smash that went to become the seventh highest-grossing film of all time at that time. Incredibly, the gifted actress received just as much attention for her next performance at the end of the year as Fantine, the tragic factory worker in the big-budget screen adaptation of the Broadway phenomenon "Les Misérables" (2012). Appearing alongside Aussie actors Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe, Hathaway and her considerable pipes garnered universal praise and upped the already substantial anticipation for the film when her rendition of the heartbreaking song "I Dreamed a Dream" was used extensively in the film's advance trailer. Before the film was even released, Hathaway received a Golden Globe nod for Best Supporting Actress, followed soon after by an Oscar nomination in the same category. She went on to win both. After that blockbuster success, she appeared in Joseph Gordon-Levitt's debut as a screenwriter and director, "Don Jon" (2013), the indie drama "Song One" (2014), and Dan Fogler's comedy-drama "Don Peyote" (2014), as well as a return to animation in the sequel "Rio 2" (2014). Her next high-profile screen role came as the female lead in Christopher Nolan's philosophical science fiction drama "Interstellar" (2014).

The Zephyr Jacket is a lightweight stretch jacket designed to offer protection from the sun and the elements when in the mountains.
Following the success of the Boreas Pull-on the Zephyr jacket uses the same Matrix SWS in the main body, but adds Matrix DWS to the shoulders and outer arms for extra durability. It has been designed to offer fantastic sun protection and some wind resistance but not at the expense of breathability.
The high wicking, quick drying nature of the fabric, along with the Polygiene anti bacterial treatment means it is ideal for multi day trips, and makes the Zephyr a fantastic mid layer for both warm and cold conditions.

The San Francisco City Attorney's Office today filed a pair of lawsuits [1] against local landlords who illegally rent out apartments on a short-term basis [2], units that had been cleared of tenants using the Ellis Act. Meanwhile, the San Francisco Tenants Unions has hired attorney Joseph Tobener [3]to file more such lawsuits, and he is preparing to file at least seven lawsuits involving 20 units.
The lawsuits are the latest actions in a fast-moving crackdown on Airbnb [2] and other online companies that facilitate short-term apartment rentals that violate city laws against converting apartments into de facto hotel rooms [4], including VRBO.com and Homeaway.com.
Board of Supervisors President David Chiu recently introduced legalization [5] that would legalize, limit, and regulate such rentals, a measure that will be considered this summer. That legislation comes on the heels of Airbnb's decision to stop stonewalling the city (and us at the Guardian, which has been raising these issues for the last two years [6]) by agreeing to start paying the transient occupancy taxes [7] it owes to the city for its transactions and creating new terms of service [8] that acknowledge its business model may violate local laws in San Francisco and elsewhere.
As we've reported [9], City Attorney Dennis Herrera has been working with tenant groups and others on a legal action aimed at curtailing the growing practice of landlords using online rental services to skirt rent control laws and othet tenant protection, removing units from the permanent housing market while still renting them out at a profit.
"In the midst of a housing crisis of historic proportions, illegal short-term rental conversions of our scarce residential housing stock risks becoming a major contributing factor," Herrera said in a public statement. "The cases I've filed today target two egregious offenders. These defendants didn't just flout state and local law to conduct their illegal businesses, they evicted disabled tenants in order to do so. Today's cases are the first among several housing-related matters under investigation by my office, and we intend to crack down hard on unlawful conduct that's exacerbating—and in many cases profiting from—San Francisco's alarming lack of affordable housing."
The lawsuits allege violations of the city's Planning and Administrative codes, as well as the state's Unfair Competition Law, targetting 3073-3075 Clay Street [10], owned by defendants Darren and Valerie Lee [11]; and 734 and 790 Bay Street [12], which is owned or managed by defendants Lev, Tamara and Tatyana Yurovsky (founder of SRT Consultants [13]).
Guardian calls to both parties were not immediately returned, but we'll update this post if and when we hear back. Tobener tells the Guardian that the San Francisco Tenants Union hired him to discourage local landlords from removing units from the market.
"The San Francisco Tenants Union is just fed up with the loss of affordable housing," Tobener told us. "It's not about the money, it's about getting these units back on the market."
The San Francisco Apartment Conversion Ordinance prescribes penalties of $1,000 per day for units rented out for less than 30 days. That now applies to buildings with four or more units, although Chiu's legislation would lower that to buildings with two or more units while legalizing such rentals and requiring host to register with the city and live in the units for at least 275 days per year, meaning rentals would be limited to 90 days per year.
Tobener's lawsuits list 210 violations in the 20 units it targets, seeking fines totaling $210,000. But he emphasized that money is not the issue: "The San Francisco Tenants Union doesn't care about the penalties, they just want to put the message out that we're going after landlords who do this and we want those units returned to the market."

JASON CLARK / COURIER & PRESS Motorists cruise past a stone marker marking the original gravesite of Isaac Knight, an early settler in Vanderburgh County. The marker can be found just across the street from Barnes & Noble Booksellers on Lincoln Avenue just east of Green River Road in Evansville.
ERIN MCCRACKEN / COURIER & PRESS The site of the Baby Town (or Neman) Cemetery in Perry Township was rediscovered by excavations due to the modernization of Mater Dei High School in 1998. At one time more than 200 graves were in the cemetery now only seven headstones are visible on the hill near Mater Dei.
DENNY SIMMONS / Courier & Press Unmarked graves have been discovered near the Vann Park baseball fields near the Lloyd Expressway earlier this month. The discovery came about as engineers were preparing to build a pedestrian bridge over the busy traffic artery and doing underground investigation using both ground penetrating radar and digging implements.
Dennis Au has mapped the site of The Old Burying Ground, which was bordered by Fourth, Sixth, Canal and Gum streets, and put a 100-foot border around the graveyard to alert developers or city workers to the possibility of disturbing old graves.

answer. the hammock hut a easy portable cost effective hammock rain fly
it takes about 10-15 minutes to set up and can be made using easily available materials (the only exception being the hammock itself also this is my entry into the epilog contest so please don't forget to vote!!
Step 1: Step 1; gather your equipment
1. a hammock and not the kind you have in your back yard (unless you are like me) you should have an actual backpacking hammock Eno and Hennessy make really nice ones which vary in price from $20 to $100+ they also sell very useful accessories which I will get to later I personally own a Eno single nest hammock which I consider to be one of the best camping related purchases I have ever made it cost me $54.00 (not including tax) and was purchased at REI (Recreational Equipment Incorporated)
2. A single large tarp this tarp must be as long as your hammock and also be able to touch the ground while draped over your hammock (see pictures) this tarp should be (like all other tarps) water proof.
3. a SINGLE tent pole yes only one this tent pole will serve as a support for your tarp. also you can use a piece of rope or string.
4. environmentally friendly hammock straps such as the Eno slapstrap these straps are very wide so that they do not harm trees by damaging the bark also these straps are very important since some national forests/parks will not allow you to hang a hammock without the proper equipment.
this is my green component
5. finally you need tent stakes to keep the tarp from blowing around in the wind the only advice I can offer in this area is the lighter the stakes the better (I used sticks).
Tree-saver tip: you can still use a rope or string around a tree. Slip 2 - 3 twigs, at least 1/2" in diameter between the rope and the tree. This prevents the rope from directly applying pressure/friction against the bark. Make sure the twigs are sturdy so they won't break under the weight of the rope/string. Something I learned in a Leave-No-Trace class at BSA summer camp some years ago.
That's cool, the only thing I would add is a bug net or mosquito net (depending on where you're camping and when!)
two half hitches around the whole thing worked really well for me!
I've used sticky spider traps too keep them from getting past the straps onto the hammock. Turn them inside out and tape them around the rope closest to the hammock side so they will get stuck while making the journey. If there is heavy rain, you can situate them so they are under the rain fly so the water doesn't dampen the effectiveness of the sticky portion.
2- You're right: warm oil IS the method of choice for removing insects from your ear. It will drown the insect, just like water would (or Agent Orange, for that matter) but, unlike water (or Agent Orange), it will not be absorbed by the dead insect, and allow it to more easily slip out of the ear canal. Water, however, will first be absorbed - making the insect swell and be harder to remove - then begin dissolving parts of the body - making it break apart as you try to - gently - remove it with tweezers or forceps. Lesson learned the hard way when my 9 yr. old son had a small beetle fly directly into his ear while on a camping trip (we were camping, not the beetle) and frustrated all attempts to remove it by crawling deeper into his ear. After trying to flush it out with water, then driving almost two hours to the nearest ER (with a seriously agitated, scared and vocal 9 yr. old), the Doc on duty gave us the oil instead of water tip.
It's been said that experience is the best teacher. That's not true. Experience is the ONLY teacher. The best experience to learn from is frequently someone else's experience. Hope ours helps some of you.
BTW, have you ever tried to blow into your own ear?
Running a thin rope with any weight in it could cause some damage to the tree, just by compressing the small tubes just under the bark that carry the sap up to feed the leaves. If you have a tree like a pine with a very thick bark, this is not much of a problem. But for trees like oaks or maples, this could cause some damage (especially if the tree is used a lot).
More importantly, a lot of campgrounds and areas will start noticing the cosmetic damage to the trees, even if the tree is not harmed, and start freaking out and banning hammock use on their lands.
Webbing is cheap, durable, and easy to use. It spreads out the pressure, minimizing damage to the tree.
I wrap my webbing around the tree a couple of times, then clip a carabiner to it. I have a drip ring on my hammock line that allows me to easily adjust the length of my hammock ropes. That way, putting up my hammock itself requires no knots whatsoever. Put up the straps, clip the hammock to the straps, use the drip ring slider to adjust the length of both hang lines, done. The carabiner and drip ring combine forces to drip all of the water off the line before it reaches my hammock. I've been out in torrential rain and stayed bone dry all night.
The rope ridgeline for my rainfly (550 paracord) is tied, but on the outside of the webbing.
Also, if you run a ridgeline all the way through your rainfly like I do, take a nut or washer or something, cut the ridgeline near where the rainfly starts on both ends, and tie the cut ends to either side of the nut/washer. The "break" in the line will allow water to drip off before proceeding under your rainfly and raining on you. Trust me, I learned that one the hard way. You can also just use the rainfly without a continuous ridgeline, but I like hanging small things under cover.
Remember that you can put your sleeping pad in the hammock, to help keep you warm. I did that on many a campout.
Also remember that if you gotta go, get up and go or you will get cold. Something to do with holding that extra bit of liquid close to your body
Thank you for addressing the concern that many people have with hammocking. Hopefully once people see how simple it is to ditch the tent and go for the light and comfortable approach they will be more willing to give it a try.

Childhood obesity is one of the most serious public health challenges of the 21st century. The problem is global and is steadily affecting many low- and middle-income countries, particularly in urban settings. The prevalence has increased at an alarming rate. Globally, in 2013 the number of overweight children under the age of five, is estimated to be over 42 million. Close to 31 million of these are living in developing countries.
Overweight and obese children are likely to stay obese into adulthood and more likely to develop noncommunicable diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular diseases at a younger age. Overweight and obesity, as well as their related diseases, are largely preventable. Prevention of childhood obesity therefore needs high priority.
The WHO Member States in the 66th World Health Assembly have agreed on a voluntary global NCD target to halt the rise in diabetes and obesity.
The prevalence of overweight and obesity in adolescents is defined according to the WHO growth reference for school-aged children and adolescents (overweight = one standard deviation body mass index for age and sex, and obese = two standard deviations body mass index for age and sex).
Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health
The fundamental causes behind the rising levels of childhood obesity are a shift in diet towards increased intake of energy-dense foods that are high in fat and sugars but low in vitamins, minerals and other healthy micronutrients, and a trend towards decreased levels of physical activity.
WHO developed the Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health at the request of WHO Member States, which was endorsed by the 57th World Health Assembly, in May 2004. The Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health is a prevention-based strategy that aims to significantly reduce the prevalence of NCDs and their common risk factors, primarily unhealthy diet and physical inactivity.

http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/05/politi...tml?hpt=hp_bn3Taxes on the wealthy are going up, House Speaker John Boehner conceded Wednesday in challenging President Barack Obama to sit down with him to hammer out a deal for avoiding the fiscal cliff.
Obama, however, continued to insist on Republicans first ensuring no tax hike for anyone but the top 2% of Americans as a first step toward a broader agreement on tackling the nation's chronic federal deficits and debt.
The statements reflected how negotiations on the automatic spending cuts and tax hikes set to occur on January 1 -- the fiscal cliff -- have evolved since Obama's re-election last month.
Republicans once opposed to any new revenue in their quest to shrink government now realize Obama's victory and public support for the president's campaign theme of higher taxes on the wealthy leave them with little negotiating leverage.
Less than four weeks from the fiscal cliff, GOP leaders face a choice: Agreeing to Obama's demand to hold down tax rates on most Americans while allowing higher rates on top earners, or being blamed for everyone's taxes going up in 2013.
The major unresolved question of negotiations involving the White House and congressional leaders is whether eliminating tax deductions and loopholes -- as proposed by House Republicans -- can raise enough revenue without hitting middle-class Americans too hard.

In November 2008, Minnesota voters approved a constitutional amendment to dedicate funds for Minnesota's Outdoor Heritage, Clean Water, Parks and Trails, and Arts and Cultural Heritage. Under the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund (ACHF) Minnesota's 300+ public libraries receive funding distributed through existing formulas to the 12 Minnesota Regional Library Systems to provide programs and services in four areas: arts (visual, performing and media), culture, literary and Minnesota history. The law states that these funds are intended "for regional programs and working with arts and cultural partners."

text: How do I choose a major? When it comes to choosing a major, there are lots of myths. Contrary to what you may have heard, a major will not decide your career; you don't need a particular major to go to law school or medical school; and being undecided about a major is not a bad thing. In fact, many Le Moyne students don't declare a major until they've taken a few classes, become involved in some professional or extracurricular activities and had a chance to reflect on what they want to do. In short, you need to decide what your skills are and where your interests lie. That takes both time and personal reflection. If you are exploring majors, consider the following: • Discuss options with your advisor and instructors in classes you enjoy. • Meet early and periodically with the staff in the Office of Career Services. • Take some self-assessments and use online resources available through career services. Explore the programs at Le Moyne:

Animation Guild 2010 election results are in
Just been notified that the Animation Guild has completed their election. Here's the line up for the next three years, taken directly from the Guild's blog as posted by Jeff Massie.
UPDATED as of 3:36 pm.
The vote-counting is now complete. Winners below the fold.
Due to a mathematical error on my part, the earlier results were in error. These are not official until we receive the Judge's final report on Monday although they are unlikely to change. My apologies for any confusion ... JM.
Contested positions:
Business Representative
Steve Hulett†
Executive Board
Bronwen Barry*†
John Cataldi†
Nicole Dubuc*†
Janette Hulett†
Karen Carnegie Johnson*†
Cathy Jones*†
Gordon Kent
Nathan Loofbourrow
Mike Roth
Chris Simmons
Jack Thomas
Elected without opposition on September 28:
President: Bob Foster
Vice-President: Earl Kress†
Recording Secretary: Jeff Massie†
Sergeant-At-Arms: Jan Browning†
† incumbent
* the three highest vote-getters on the Executive Board also serve as Trustees. This year we have a tie for third place between Bronwen Barry and Cathy Jones; the final choice as Trustee between them remains to be determined.
Follow this link to see the election results on the Guild's blog.
Congratulations to the new and returning officers, and I mean that with all sincerity. I'm confident that you're as sincere about protecting the interests of your members and of the animation community at large as I am in my well wishes to the winners.
Change is good, especially when it's needed and I feel this change, especially with a new president in Bob Foster, has been much needed. I hope that bad feelings won't continue to be fostered through your organization towards AN and others in animation who aren't members of the Guild. No pun intended Bob. AN has always been supportive of the Guild as our history shows time and again, and we'll continue to support the Guild in whatever way we can. Especially those members who for one reason or another, feel they're not being heard by you or feel they've been disenfranchised in some way from the Guild.
I hope your organization will strive for a stronger leadership role in animation. Perhaps with Bob Foster and the new era we're looking at, things will change for the better from what we've experienced before. That's my hope. Whether or not it happens is entirely up to the Guild. I remain optimistic.
In any case, wishing everyone happiness.
Congrats, good luck and Keep Creating a positive future for all.
Re: Animation Guild 2010 election results are in
Plus, the holiday season is coming up, Charles!
Kidding aside, I'm excited about how much things are a-changin'. Sad that things couldn't be worked out with the old leaders, but clearly things are moving on from that point.
Congrats to the Guild's newly appointed and I look forward to witnessing improved relations between AN and the Guild.
Re: Animation Guild 2010 election results are in
Bob Foster came to a couple of AN Nights. I remember seeing and meeting him there. I also spoke with him briefly at the Floyd Norman event last May at the Guild's building in Burbank. I recognized him from before. Didn't realize he would be president a few months later, but from what I experienced in my encounters with him he seems like a good guy.
The outgoing president hadn't shown up to any AN event in several years. The Guild, except for some individual members, has pretty much been non-existent at our events and even on the forums, which is really too bad. With the efforts they're trying to make at organizing, they're missing a prime opportunity to develop goodwill and support from within their own community.
I maintain that they can get away with being this much of a non-factor in the overall animation community because anyone who gets into a Guild studio must join, so there's no pressure on them to reach out to prospective members. It's just common sense to develop goodwill in your own backyard if your long term goals are to organize studios that aren't part of the union. In this day and age, with all the challenges that unions are facing, you would think they could use all the support they can get. That's what makes the Animation Guild's stance against AN illogical on their part. Maybe that will change under Bob, we'll have to wait and see.
Re: Animation Guild 2010 election results are in
Looking at his resume is looks like most of his recent jobs have been Non-Union. Blue Sky Studios, Super 78 Studios, Snoot Entertainment, Medical CyberWorlds. I wonder what that means for the union and what kind of shake up he's going to effect?
Re: Animation Guild 2010 election results are in
Time will tell, Paul. Meanwhile, AWN reports that IATSE which is the mothership of the Guild, has hired an attorney and is preparing an effort to organize visual effects artists.
IATSE to Organize Visual Effects Artists
By Rick DeMott | Monday, November 15, 2010 at 12:55 pm | AWN News
IATSE has formally announced that it will begin efforts to organize visual effects artists, reports FXGuide. The guild has hired labor lawyer Jim Goodman as a full-time rep for the effort.
IATSE, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees represents cinematographers (local 600), art directors (local 800), animators (local 839), editors (local 700) and more.

Re: Animation Guild 2010 election results are in
Man, I swear, this union has some serious problems. The outgoing president engages Amid Amidi of all people at Cartoonbrew and can't get by without making disparaging remarks about AnimationNation.
So now that you don't like what he said, are you going to get rid of Cartoonbrew's link on the TAG blog like you did with us?
Let's look at the numbers folks. Look at the above post and the final tally of votes.
Check this out everyone.
Of the 2,289 eligible voters in the Guild, only 487 ballots were received. That's a 21.2% turnout. But don't despair! It's up from 16.3% three years ago. Things are really improving. Only 78.8% of your eligible membership decided not to participate in the election this time around.
I know someone who works in animation but used to work at a grocery store, and they routinely got a 90% to 95% turnout on their union elections. Maybe you guys should start bagging groceries and stocking shelves. You'll appreciate what you have.
And you know what else? Nobody besides Bob Foster bothered to run for president.
Here's an interesting statistic. The top four vote getters for the Guild's executive board are all women. And all of them received more votes than Steve Hulett the Business Rep. And the only one challenging him was Karen Nugent, another female.
Seems like the ladies of the Guild have more balls than the men do. Maybe they should take over.
I've tried to tell you this in the past and I was vilified by you guys for it. Nobody cares. Your own membership doesn't care enough to vote. Your Guild is uninspiring and stale. In short, it sucks, and Bob Fosters biggest challenge is to somehow make it unsuck.
You guys put more effort into name calling and trying to quell this site than you do into reaching out to your own membership and caring about your own people.
We were your friends. We supported you for years. All I did was report what I witnessed at a Guild meeting on September 30, 2008 and you took off our link. You guys allow trolls to run free on your blog under the guise of freedom of speech, but when I say something that you don't like you remove our link. You guys are so obsessed with putting down AN you can't even keep us out of the mix at Cartoonbrew. You look like fools in front of the fanboys.
Well guys, there's the numbers from your election and for the first time, we can see the depth of apathy that your own membership has about you. Now you're trying to organize visual effects artists after how many years of doing nothing? And how about video game artists and animators. How many years is it gonna be before you start getting around to that?
Like I said, we were your friends. We can't even congratulate you without your vitriolic jabber and put downs.
Good luck Guild. You guys need it.

As the crisp fall air settles in and bright orange and red leaves swirl down from the trees, what better time to hit the trail? But as you plan your fall wilderness hikes, don't forget your canine friends! Here are some ASPCA expert tips to ensure your dog's safety as you explore the great outdoors together.
- Pack a leash. With so many nooks and crannies to explore on the trail, it's best to opt for a non-extending leash to avoid potential tangles with branches and brambles.
- Bring IDs, please! Always make sure that your current contact information, including your cell phone number, is attached to your dog's collar or harness.
- Check your records. You never know what you might encounter on a hike through the woods. Before you set out on your journey, make sure your pet's vaccinations are up to date.
- Give pests the boot. Tick prevention is essential when tromping through the great outdoors. Treat your pooch with PetArmor, a spot-on flea and tick treatment by FidoPharm, one of the ASPCA's corporate partners.
- Leave no trace. Scoop up after your dog when she goes to the bathroom as you would on a stroll through your neighborhood.
- Stay hydrated—don't forget to bring enough water for yourself and your dog. It's best to avoid letting your dog drink from nature's water fountains, as puddles, lakes and streams can be home to nasty parasites and toxins that could be harmful to your furry friends.
