According to the Forest Products Laboratory, a whole, unmilled tree can support 50 percent more weight than the largest piece of lumber milled from the same tree. Putting this principle into practice, Whole Tree Architecture is dedicated to building with materials that lumber companies consider scrap – weed trees, also know as 'managed forest thinnings.' The resulting projects are beautiful displays of locally sourced and sustainably managed materials.
Not to be confused with a traditional log cabin, building with whole trees is a sustainable, affordable building philosophy Roald Gundersun has been refining for the past 16 years. As much a forest management process as it is a building technique, Gundersun uses only local, small diameter — 10-inches or less — trees culled from the client's site, and larger trees already downed by disease or wind. Trees are selected based on forest stand density and invasive species management as well as structural integrity and aesthetics. There is no milling, transportation, or bulk curing.
The benefits are economic as well as ecological. According to WTA, "…whole tree construction invests a greater proportion of its costs into local jobs and materials than conventional construction and also promotes healthy forest management for local timber resources." Gunderson's philosophy is holistic; every aspect of a project — design, engineering, construction and craftsmanship — is considered in light of the local ecology and economy.
While Whole Tree Architecture is obviously not feasible for everyone, it is certainly a brilliantly forward-thinking solution for the small farming community in Wisconsin where WTA is based. In our opinion, their use of local labor and local, renewable, and sustainably-managed materials offers a prescient vision of a vibrant, green future.

Winnipeg JetsThis panorama captures the opening faceoff of the historic game between the Winnipeg Jets and Montreal Canadiens held on October 9, 2011, at MTS Centre. The inaugural game marked the regular season debut of the Winnipeg Jets and their return to the NHL after a 15-year hiatus. On May 31, 2011, it was announced that True North Sports and Entertainment Limited would relocate an NHL franchise to Winnipeg for the 2011-12 season. Within minutes of making season tickets available to the public, the team reached its 13,000 seat target. At the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, True North Chairman, Mark Chipman, announced the team name would be called the Winnipeg Jets. The new logos pay homage to the Royal Canadian Air Force.
Welcome back to the big time, Winnipeg! The dream became reality, and the Jets have returned. While the final score was a disappointment, the day became a city-wide party that didn't end until the wee hours of the morning, and the fans at the Nationwide Arena stood and cheered every moment. With this panorama, you get it all as the opening puck is about to be dropped: the fans in the stands, the scoreboard, the arena details, and the action on the ice below. Printed in brilliant color and perfect focus on high-quality print stock, and complete with a sharp white border that includes the official team logo, the commemorative title, and a brief descriptive paragraph, this panorama is both a beauty for the wall, and a great collector's item for years to come. Perfect for the wall of home, office, locker room or classroom!

|Post Peak Beauty in Vermont
Photo taken in Waterbury VT, October 27, 2010
One of the great things about Vermont is its natural beauty even in seasons when you would least expect it. Right now is a good example. Most of the colorful leaves are not only past peak, they're lying on the ground. We're transitioning into Vermont's "stick season" where all the trees look like sticks. While it does not have the gaudy color of two weeks ago, the hillsides are still eye catching. At the lower elevations there are splashes of bright yellow and larger patches of rusty reds. It can be quite striking.
Yesterday was a good example. I enjoy this time of year when the sun is low on the horizon in the morning and late afternoon. It makes for dramatic natural lighting and it's especially fun to observe when the sky is a cobalt blue or swirling gray with sunlit highlights.

1/4 cup
all-purpose flour
2 1/2 pounds
lean boneless beef chuck, cut into 1/2 by 2 inch strips
2/3 cup
1/3 cup
tomato paste
2 large
onions, finely chopped
3 tablespoons
grated fresh ginger
6 cloves
garlic, minced
1 (2 inch) piece
cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon
ground turmeric
1 teaspoon
ground paprika
2 tablespoons
ground cumin
1 tablespoon
ground coriander
1 teaspoon
ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon
ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon
ground cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon
ground nutmeg
salt to taste
1/3 cup
chopped fresh cilantro
This was wonderful! Note that it took about 30 minutes to prepare. I added 2 large peeled and sliced russet potatoes. I used 1/2 of a large onion, cut in 'rings,' instead of chopping the onions, and a smaller cut of meat; I cut the cayenne pepper down to 1/8 tsp. to make it less spicy. I would recommend mixing the spices with the tomato mixture; otherwise, they 'bake' on the top, and don't get mixed in. I added 1/2 tsp. salt before cooking, then another 1/2 tsp. after. Will definitely make again! Thanks for the recipe!
I came home expecting my house to smell wonderful with this combination of spices, but instead of a wonderful smell, I was greeted by this pungent stench.
Even though the smell was unappetizing, I decided to taste it anyway hoping that it tasted better than it smelled (like corned beef and cabbage tastes better than it smells), but unfortuantely for me, it tasted exactly like it smelled. I wasted money on this recipe because I had to throw it away since no one in my house would touch it. It even took me three days to get rid of the smell from the house.
I am a lover of curry, but this recipe is definitely not for me. It should not even get a 1 star, but that was as low as I could rate it.
25 Ratings
My husband & I both like curry, but this was a far cry from anything we've had.(made by people from India or other recipes) When my husband came home he thought I was sick (it was from the smell of this recipe). My husband rinsed the "curry sauce" down the drain & tried to eat the meat. This is the WORSE recipe we've ever tried from All Recipe. It took the entire evening burning candles to get rid of the smell.
This is a good recipe! I did not have any tomato paste so I left that out and put 2 cans of whole tomatoes and it came out great. At first I thought it was "too gingery" but the flavor really grew on me! Leftovers the next day were even better!! Will make again. Thanks for sharing...
I was surprised to find such mixed reviews on this recipe. I threw this surprisingly simple recipe together last Sunday and let it simmer all day - what a delicious treat in the evening! NO bitter aftertaste was present for us. I followed the recipe pretty closely, though I didn't layer quite as suggested, rather I stirred all spice ingredients into tomato paste mixture, then mixed it up with the beef & onion - I didn't have ground coriander...also as with almost everything we make, I squeazed lime juice over it before cooking, and added more/tweaked the spices as the day wore on. This was a very underrated dish in my opinion which yielded beautiful results for my family. Thanks ChezDeb! :)
This did not turn out well for me. The meat did not have flavor and spices were very bitter. Made it to the letter, will not try again.
i tried this recipe today and was hoping that it turn out well since it smelled okay. My friend and I took one bite out it and didn't like it. It had a bitter after taste that I tried to drown out with strawberry daiquiri. I don't recommend this recipe to anyone.
This recipe is simple to make and is fabulous. The spices are a unique blend and it makes the whole house smell wonderful as it cooks the entire day. I couldn't wait to try it. Everyone in my family loved it. I will definitely put this in my "make often" category. Thanks for the recipe Chezdeb!

Rush Coaches Arrive in Cameroon
As part of a coaching exchange between our partners in Cameroon at FC Rush Bali and Rush clubs in the US, 4 American coaches have set out for a one month journey to Cameroon to experience the culture and help instill the 'Rush Way'. Check out their entries below:
01.21 - Three of the four coaches arrived safely in Cameroon on the 15th (the fourth, Ben Medina, was flying in at a later date). Alex Mendolia and Cara Nelson (NY) and Brian Lux (PP/SPI) were all tired from the 12 hour flight but were excited to be in Africa. After spending the night in Douala, they left early for the 7 hour drive to Bali. Upon the arrival in Bali, the coaches were greeted by a parade of cars and motorcycles that paraded them through the town to the field. There, the people of Bali held an opening ceremony where they sang the Cameroonian anthem and had all the players shake the coaches hands. Then they had a traditional tribal dance that the coaches took part in. Representatives from the US Embassy also greeted the group. The next day the group got to observe the senior team play and would get the chance to train the youth teams the following day. Please stayed tuned for more updates on the journey to Cameroon and FC Bali Rush!

Click here for live stats
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 3, 2011)
- The ETSU baseball team is set to open Atlantic Sun conference play this weekend as the Bucs head to Spartanburg to face USC Upstate this weekend in a three-game series starting Friday at 4 p.m.
The two teams are scheduled to play the second game of the series Saturday at 1 p.m. with the final game on Sunday at 1 p.m.
Since joining the Atlantic Sun, the Buccaneers are 10-5 in opening series games including sweeps of Gardner-Webb in 2007 and USC Upstate in 2010.
ETSU (5-2, 0-0 A-Sun) picked up a 13-5 road win over UNC Asheville on Wednesday fueled by an eight-run eighth inning. As a team, the Bucs are hitting .300 with 17 doubles and 11 home runs. The Buccaneer pitching staff is second in the conference in opponent's batting average holding teams to a .221 average while posting a 4.28 ERA.
The Bucs are 12-9 all-time against the Spartans having won the last seven contests including a sweep of USC Upstate on the road in 2009.
The Spartans (4-6, 0-0 A-Sun) have dropped four straight contests after losses to Wofford and Gardner-Webb in the midweek. USC Upstate is led by sophomore outfielder Tyler Miller as he is currently ninth in the conference in average hitting .436 on the year.

Wednesday, September 26, 2001. In Los Angeles, as with all over the country, baseball was helping heal America from the horrors of September 11. Although the Dodgers were out of the playoff chase, over 49,000 fans arrived (mostly late...) at Chavez Ravine on a beautiful fall evening to push the season's attendance over 3,000,000, and to view the latest installment of the ancient Dodgers-Giants rivalry. With San Francisco clinging to playoff dreams, and with Barry Bonds only three Home Runs away from Mark McGwire's record, it was a great chance to boo the opposition and play spoiler! In this poster, we see Barry at the plate in the third inning of a 1-1 tie. With the count at 1-0, two out and no one on base, this may have be his best chance to get a pitch to hit. As the crowd watches breathlessly and starter Terry Mulholland delivers, SNAP! The moment is preserved for all-time, and is now available for your wall!
To every Dodger fan's delight, Barry did not go deep in this game, and he ended the season 4-for-35 with only one HR at Dodger Stadium in 2001. And although the Dodgers did blow a ninth-inning lead to lose this game, the Giants ended up falling short in their playoff run!
With photographer Rob Arra's perfect panoramic technique, everything in this beautiful print is in perfect focus, making you feel like you are actually there, at the game, watching the Dodgers battle the Giants on a perfect night in the valley. From the fans in the stands, to the action on the field, to the scoreboards and light towers, to the outfield Wall-of-Fame, it's all here! This beautiful print deserves a nice frame and a prominent space on the wall of your home or office.

Sebastian Vettel headed up the ninth Red Bull Racing 1-2 finish in F1 history at Istanbul Park on Sunday to open up a commanding 34-point lead in the 2011 Drivers' World Championship after four of the scheduled 20 races.
Vettel, who had to bounce back from a Friday accident to claim his fourth straight pole position in 2011, used that advantage to the maximum, sprinting into a lead he never relinquished through another entertaining 58-lap Grand Prix.
Behind him Australia's Mark Webber fought a race-long duel with Ferrari star Fernando Alonso after the two of them were briefly bottled up behind Nico Rosberg's Mercedes in the opening stages of the race.
With just 10 laps remaining on a day when there were 78 pit stops, all three front-runners made a late call for tyres – their fourth of the afternoon – before Webber caught Alonso in a thrilling sprint to the line.
Once again Webber produced the move of the day, a superbly-executed round-the-outside pass on Alonso on lap 52, to claim second place, making his sequence of results in 2011 5-4-3-2 and moving up into third in the standings behind Vettel and McLaren's Lewis Hamilton.
For Vettel it was the 13th victory of his 66-race F1 career, but the World Champion is keeping a tight lid on talk of an easy stroll to a second straight title: "I think that the day you start to think that you are unbeatable is the day you get beaten, for sure," he said after his third win of 2011.
"We all try to win, obviously, and all try to be better than the other guys but I think there's always someone at some point who will teach you a lesson and will give you a very hard time and beat you."
Always pragmatic in his approach to the job, Webber stressed that they were all playing catch-up behind his 23-year-old team-mate: "It's up to us to do the best we can to try and bring this to a stop sooner rather than later," he said.
"Every driver on the grid has weaknesses, some more than others but it's up to you to try and interrogate those sometimes when you can and that's what being in sport is all about."
Webber revealed that his stirring drive in the last race in China, where he went from 18th on the grid to the podium, was on his mind as the race in Turkey wound down: "I was saying to myself, 'I can't finish third having started 18th on the grid and then finish third having started on the front row.' So I needed to finish second, so thank God we did that."
Alonso was also down-to-earth as he reflected on Ferrari's first podium of the year: "Finally we enjoy racing again," he grinned after a race in which he overhauled Webber for second spot at two-thirds distance but had to yield again right at the end.
Behind the flying front three there was a remarkable gap of 30 seconds to fourth-placed Hamilton, who was never in contention for a second straight win of 2011 but laid on some spectacular entertainment in his own race-long joust with McLaren team-mate Jenson Button.
The pair were eventually separated by Rosberg, who got away to a great start, relegating Webber to third off the line, but had to give best after four laps and was never able to reproduce his qualifying pace in race trim.
Lotus Renault confirmed their status as 'best of the rest' as Nick Heidfeld and Vitaly Petrov claimed seventh and eighth, while there was further encouragement for Red Bull's sister team Toro Rosso as Sébastien Buemi finished ninth – his second top-10 result of the season – ahead of Sauber's Kamui Kobayashi. The Japanese 'did a Webber', blasting through the field from 24th on the grid after an engine failure in qualifying to secure the final point of the day in 10th.
Fastest lap of the race went to Webber with a 1:29.703 on lap 48, an average speed of 214.226 km/h. As the Australian bids to complete his sequence of results by making it 5-4-3-2-1 he need only wait until May 22 when the teams return to Barcelona, the track that yielded the first of Webber's four victories in 2010.

Course Overview
Katon is working on bringing us a new workshop later in 2013, so this is the LAST TIME we're running his incredibly popular Game Art Creation workshop. Don't miss this last chance. This class includes live weekly webinars with Katon where he gives demos and offers feedback. These sessions are recorded for those who can't make it.
Games look amazing these days, and trying to create all the necessary assets at such a high standard can seem overwhelming. Often, we have a vision that we want to see come to life, but it can be tough with all the tools out there to complete it. Join Katon Callaway as he guides you through the process of creating high-quality, industry ready assets that can be used in modern engines.
Over these eight weeks, we will try to cover all the bases needed to help you reach the result you want without interfering with your artistic ability. By the end of this workshop, you will have a better understanding of the high-end character creation process as well as be at a point where you would feel comfortable working in a studio with a full understanding of how the process works.
"We will be covering a lot of material in this class, and your commitment is paramount," says Katon. "I believe that you will learn most by just jumping in with me and making those valuable mistakes that will make you a better artist. I will be working on a model alongside you guys, so I will not only be showing you techniques for this, I'll be putting them into practice with my own model."
From July 2012, Katon will be running live weekly webinar sessions during this workshop, so you can ask questions and receive answers live. Each week, the webinar will be recorded and uploaded to the class for those who cant make it.
This course sells out every time it runs, and feedback from students has been consistently great.
"Katon's support during the course was one of the best things, he followed each student with the same passion, always giving rock solid feedback." Federico Scarbini - student
"It was definitely worth every penny and I would highly recommend this class." Ruby Rieke - student.
This was a great workshop! In 2 months I've absorbed some tricks and techniques that I'm sure took Katon years to refine. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to push their artistic/technical skills further, and also gain some clarity about building a character from start to finish. - Tali Kaniatobe, student June 2012
A really awesome online workshop! Katon's videos are very informative and helpful, It's fantastic to have a professional that's currently in the industry as your tutor, It makes all the difference. - Daniel Freedman, student, June 2012

The NLRA at 80: Is the Statute Adapting to the New Workplace?
Friday, May 8, 2015, Buffalo, NY | More information, include agenda and registration
Join NLRB Board Members Mark Pearce (Chairman), Kent Hirozawa, Lauren McFarren, Philip Miscimarra, and General Counsel Richard Griffin as we examine the NLRA in its 80th year. In 1935, when the Act was passed, no one could have anticipated the changes to the workplace that dominate our lives today: the internet, social media, globalization, the use of independent contractors, and the service economy. Are the Act and the Board up to the challenge of these new workplace realities and the changing economy? Topics will include the General Counsel's agenda, the Board's most recent decisions, and the new election procedures.

Oil Planning and Response
National Information
- Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plans
- Area-Regional Contingency Plan
- Inland Sensitivity Atlases
- Facility Response Plans
- Marinas
Although most oil spills are accidental, they are common events. Spills can happen on land or in water, at any time of the day or night, and in any weather conditions.
Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plans
Preventing spills is the best way to protect our health and the environment from exposure to oil.
Owners or operators of oil storage facilities write and implement Spill Control and Countermeasures (SPCC) Plans to help them prevent oil from being spilled from their facility.
Contact: Mick Hans (firstname.lastname@example.com) Chief, Chemical Emergency Preparedness and Prevention or call 312-353-5050
Area-Regional Contingency Plan
However, spills do occur and we must be ready for them.
To improve our readiness, we've developed an Area-Regional Contingency Plan for the six states in Region 5. This plan identifies risks and resources for response and sets policies for Federal responders to follow for specialized techniques such as in chemical countermeasures situ burning of oil.
To best meet the needs of some of the unique places in Region 5, we've identified 20 Sub Areas and developed more specific response plans for them. These Sub Area Contingency Plans are developed with state and local governments and address localized issues such as response jurisdictions, response tactics on specific waterways and command structures.
Inland Sensitivity Atlases
Each part of the Region is mapped to identify environmentally and economically important areas. The Inland Sensitivity Atlases identify:
- State and Federal endangered and threatened species
- public and privately held land with environmental importance
- sources of spills
- locks, dams, marinas and boat access points
Contact: Sheila Calovich (firstname.lastname@example.com) at 312-353-1505
Facility Response Plans
National Information
Facility Response Plan (FRP) Rule
For certain facilities, the owner or operator will need to prepare and implement Facility Response Plans (FRP) to aid in the response and preparedness of the facility in responding to a spill of oil from their facility. These plans must be consistent with the Area and Sub Area Plans mentioned above.
Where to submit Facility Response Plans
FRP Coordinator
U.S. EPA Region 5
77 W. Jackson Blvd. SE-5J
Chicago, IL 60604
How often must plans be resubmitted?
Each time there is a material change at an FRP facility, the facility must resubmit their plan for approval within 60 days. A material change is one that could affect the adequacy of the facility's response capabilities, such as the ability to respond to a worst-case discharge. Examples of material changes include:
- A significant change in facility capacity, configuration or type of oil handled;
- A change in the capacity or availability of response contractors; or
- A change in spill prevention equipment or response procedures that may affect the potential for a discharge to cause significant and substantial harm to the environment.
In addition, the CWA section 311(j)(5)(C) requires that the FRP be consistent with the ACP; therefore, an owner/operator may have to resubmit the plan based on the information in the ACP (e.g., identification of sensitive environments in the Region). Revisions of names or phone numbers in the emergency notification list must be submitted to the Regional Administrator, but do not require approval.
Note that the owner/operator must submit only those portions that were revised to reflect the material change and not the entire response plan. The Regional Administrator will review the submitted informaiton for approval and notify owners/operators within a reasonable amount of time if the plan amendments are acceptable.

My mom likes to say, 'You're entitled to your own opinion, even if it's wrong.' As a psychologist specializing in subjectivity, she should know.
But it seems there is an area in which only one opinion counts, and that is the hotly debated issue of cakey vs. fudgy brownies.
Or is it REALLY hotly debated???
Nearly every brownie recipe header I've read begins with something akin to, 'Some people like their brownies cakey, but we prefer them rich and fudgy, so here's a recipe for you superior bakers who are smart enough to know better.'
Are there really people out there who like cakey brownies, or is this just an ego-stroking myth perpetuated by the fudgy brownie lobby to make us feel banded together against some common, imaginary foe? Isn't the whole point of brownies that they are rich, dense, chocolaty and gooey? Wouldn't you just make a chocolate cake if you wanted something 'cakey?'
When I was a kid and would make brownies from the box, I would always choose the 'fudgy' option over 'cakey,' which entailed adding an extra egg, and I remain true to my fudgy preference today. (Though of course I wouldn't admit otherwise lest you think me hopelessly uncool.)
But along comes Alice Medrich with this 'New Bittersweet Brownie' recipe to shake everything up. These brownies aren't exactly fudgy, though they do satisfy the über-chocolate craving that often plagues fudgy brownie-lovers. But they aren't cakey, either. Nor are they 'chewy,' the newest category of brownie to emerge on the scene. Their texture most closely resembles a fluffy-dense flourless chocolate cake, but not the gag-me-rich, truffle-ganache sort; the type that has some air whipped into it so that it comes out delicate and manageable. Alice Medrich describes them as being 'mousse-like', and they do have a delicate, airy-ness to them, but 'moussey brownies' don't sound particularly appealing. 'Whipped brownies?' 'Really friggin' awesomely delicious brownies?' I'm at a loss.
Perhaps they just need to be in a class by themselves.
Categories and pigeon-holing aside, let's talk about why these brownies are so awesome:
- They are packed with a full 8 ounces of bittersweet chocolate. I used the 70% cacao mass stuff I get in bulk at Rainbow, and I can say that it is some of the best chocolate I've ever tasted: fruity, mild, complex, deep and dark but never bitter.
- Whole eggs are whipped with salt and a demure amount of sugar (1 cup, whereas some fudgy brownie recipes call for double that amount) until light and fluffy, creating the superbly uncategorizeable, light-yet-dense texture I keep going on about.
- A scant amount of flour, no leavening, and just the right amount of butter (3 ounces) contribute to this gorgeousness.
- I add in a hearty slug of whiskey to give them a little je ne sais quoi. Well, actually, I do know what: to add a complex tang which complements the chocolate flavor without taking over.
- If you thought it couldn't get any better, I made these gluten-free, although you would never know it if you tasted them and I didn't tell you.
So, if you give these brownies a go, and have an idea of what to call them, please let me know. Just be sure not to over-bake them, as this can lead to 'accidentally cakey brownies.'
And nobody likes those.

Vanilla-Brown Butter Financiers
(Gluten-Free!) Bittersweet Whiskey Brownies
Adapted from Chewy, Gooey, Crispy, Crunchy Cookies, by Alice Medrich
If you are extremely sensitive to gluten, you may want to substitute a liquor that you know for a fact to be gluten-free for the whiskey, as whiskey is distilled from grains, or leave it out altogether. If gluten is a non-issue for you, feel free to substitute 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour for the rice flour. Sticky rice flour is the key ingredient here; regular rice flour will make crumbly brownies that refuse to hold together. Sometimes called "sweet" or "glutinous," sticky rice flour is available at most well-stocked grocers. I usually use Mochiko brand, available here. It is magic.
The trick to getting the crusty top on the brownies is having the melted butter and chocolate quite warm when you add it to the egg mixture (but not scorching hot). As these brownies are mainly chocolate, use a high quality baking chocolate that you like the taste of. Scharffenberger, Guittard and Valrhona are all excellent brands.
3 ounces (6 tablespoons, 3/4 stick) unsalted butter, sliced
8 ounces bittersweet (I use 70% cacao mass) chocolate, chopped (a scant 2 cups)
3 large eggs
1 cup (7 ounces) sugar
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons whiskey (such as Jack Daniel's)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup (1 3/4 ounces) sweet white rice flour (sometimes called 'sticky' or 'glutinous')
Position a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350º. Line an 8x8" square pan with 2 criss-crossed parchment slings so that the bottom and all of the sides are covered, with an inch or so of parchment hanging over the sides (see photos above). (Lacking parchment, you can use heavy-duty aluminum foil instead, or simply grease the pan.)
In a small saucepan, place first the butter and then the chocolate; melt together over very low heat, watching the pot like a hawk and stirring frequently so as not to scorch the chocolate (alternately, you can do this in a heatproof bowl placed over a pan of barely simmering water). When the mixture is completely melted and very warm, remove from the heat.
Meanwhile, in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip together the eggs, sugar and salt on medium-high speed until the mixture is very thick, pale and fluffy, 3 - 5 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the whiskey and vanilla, then the chocolate mixture. Sift the flour if lumpy, sprinkle it over the batter, and mix on low until combined. Remove the bowl from the stand and give it a few stirs by hand, scraping the sides and bottom, to make sure it is thoroughly combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and stick it in the oven. Bake until the brownie is pulling away from the sides of the pan, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few wet crumbs but no gooey batter, 25-30 minutes. (These brownies are best baked a little further than most; underbaked, the texture is overly dense.)
Cool the brownies completely in the pan. (For the cleanest cuts, you can chill the brownies in the fridge for an hour or two, or up to several days.)
Use the parchment as handles to lift the brownie out of the pan, and cut into sixteen 2" squares using a chef's knife dipped in hot water and wiped clean and dry after every cut.
The brownies keep well for up to 5 days, stored at room temp in an airtight container.

Fernando Alonso is proud of his efforts during his first season in Ferrari colours, despite falling short in the Formula One title race.
Alonso, 29, joined the famous Italian team after one unhappy year with McLaren and a fruitless second spell with Renault, the team with which he won two world championships in 2005 and 2006.
The Spaniard finished second in the drivers' standings to eventual title winner Sebastian Vettel in 2010, but Alonso believes the team deserve credit for staying in the hunt throughout the season.
"I'm proud of what the Scuderia managed to achieve this season," Alonso said.
"In a year when we did not have the best car, we managed to get to the last race still in with a great chance of winning the title after staging a really strong recovery."
"In a race like that last one, anything could happen, as this is a sport, not pure maths. The comeback we mounted from the mid-point of the season onwards, the way in which we all pulled together, more united than ever, (that) is much more important."
"All that was lacking was the cherry on the cake, but hey, we knew that could happen."
"Sport is like that, sometimes things go well and sometimes badly. But after the initial sadness of not winning the title, I think it was good overall for the team and for me, to regain feeling I have not had for the past three years."
"To return to winning and have the opportunity to fight for the championship has been the best news."
Ferrari blew their chance of overhauling Vettel with a flawed pit strategy in the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, but Alonso has no desire to dwell on what might have been.
"So much has been said about Abu Dhabi, but it's easy to talk with hindsight," he said.
"The team was very disappointed with the missed opportunity but Ferrari's great strength is that they don't sink into depression because of one mistake, on the contrary, we will react to be even more determined next year."
"Personally, I really want to start again. I expect again that four teams - us, Mercedes, McLaren and Red Bull - will be in the fight for the top."

Traveling Exhibits
The Orlando Science Center is home to some of the most exciting traveling exhibits in the country. When these exhibits are in town they are only here for a limited time, so don't miss the opportunity to see them!
Exhibit Halls
As great as our traveling exhibits are, there are some exhibits that are the staple of the Orlando Science Center. NatureWorks will have you up close and personal with some of nature's most fascinating reptiles. At DinoDigs, you'll step back into the prehistoric age. Discover the dynamic forces and systems that shape our Earth, as well as other planets in Our Planet, Our Universe.

What's the difference between a great visit to a Science Center and a memorable visit? Live programs.

Science Stations
Looking for little more "hard science" in your next Science Center visit? Look no further than the Science Stations located throughout the facility. Science Stations are a cross between exhibits and live programs in that they're exhibits that typically include a live program to truly bring the experience to life. Science Stations provide an in-depth look at their respective subject matter in an entertaining way. Be sure to check your program schedule to see which Science Stations are conducting demonstrations on the day of your next visit.

Posted in Dr. Dare's Lab
All of these pictures were taken using a microscope camera in Dr. Dare's Lab at Orlando Science Center. They are from a drop of pond water taken from Lake Estelle located next door. Take a look through our photo reel to see some awesome microscopic creatures!
The creature boxed in yellow is an example of an ostracod and is commonly known as a Seed Shrimp. Its body is protected by 2 half shells which meet at a hinge toward the top of its body. We found a mosquito in the 2nd stage of its life; eventually it will change and enter pupa stage of its development where it will then transform into an adult mosquito.
The nauphilus copepod has small antennae on its head that are used for swimming. The nauphilus stage is the first stage of development for crustaceans. What do you think it will look like when it grows up? We also found some nematodes, also known as roundworms. To-date over 28,000 different kinds of nematodes have been identified but scientist estimated there could be over 1 million different species.
The video features an ostracod that is first seen searching for food. Unexpectedly an adult copepod enters the frame and the ostracod appears to maneuver plants & algae around its self. See for yourself! Is it trying to hide?

3) Amos Steck (1863–1864)
Elected Mayor in 1872, Joseph Bates' Administration marks the turning point for our then emerging city. Originally from the East Coast and connected with such names as the Denver Brewery, Denver Pacific Railroad and Denver Smelting and Refining Works, Mayor Bates brought a new image to the office. Denver's growth in the following years steadily increased.
A dedicated politician from Vermont, Baxter Stiles served the City of Denver in his second term as Mayor from 1877-1878
A dedicated politician, Richard Sopris served the City of Denver as Mayor for four terms, from 1878 to 1881. During his time in office, the growing city reached a population of 35,628 people, according to the 1880 census.
A U.S. Republican political figure and originally from Kentucky, John Long Routt served as the 1st Governor of Colorado before becoming the Mayor of Denver in 1883 and serving until 1885. He dedicated his life to public service and held numerous offices throughout the state, attempting to cub the ever-rampant lawlessness and corruption of the time. After unsuccessfully running for the United States Senate, Routt ran successfully for the governorship again in 1891, and served as Colorado's 7th Governor until 1897
18) Joseph E. Bates (1885–1887) After his first term, Mayor Bates was elected again in 1885.
21) Platt Rogers (1891–1893) Dedicated to serving the Denver community, Platt Rogers took office as Denver's Mayor in 1891. He did much to curb the lawlessness and crime that ran rampant across the young state. Though in 1893, when the Sherman Silver Purchase Act was repealed, Denver rapidly sunk into depression. The response was to diversify economic interests to include agriculture and food processing. Farms, ranches and factories sprouted up everywhere. These, in conjunction with the networks of railroads, pulled Denver back to its feet, economically.
An active politician, M. D. VanHorn served the City of Denver as Mayor from 1893 to 1895. While Mayor VanHorn was in office, Denver's rapid growth stood stagnant, as the Silver Depression of 1893 set in and the city attempted to regain its ground.
Serving his Denver community, Thomas S. McMurry was elected in 1895. He continued to serve for four terms, as he steered the city through tough times, with affects of the Silver Depression of 1893 still lingering. Mayor McMurry contributed greatly to the economic and societal reconstruction of Denver, as the city slowly began to return to normal.
Originally from Kentucky, Democrat Henry V. Johnson served the City of Denver as Mayor from 1899 to 1901. Having been raised in a very politically active family, Mayor Johnson knew the importance of public service. A lawyer by trade, he had already held the position of U.S. District Attorney for Colorado, as well as serving in his native Kentucky.
A dedicated politician, Robert R. Wright served the City of Denver as Mayor from four terms, from 1901 to 1904. In 1903, a Denver city land dispute went to the U.S. Supreme Court, bearing the name of Mayor Wright. He won the lawsuit and allocated to land to be used for a cemetery.
Robert Speer served as the Mayor of Denver for three terms, with his first election in 1904. Mayor Speer was dedicated to improving the quality of life in Denver. He established the City Beautiful programs that have created and preserved some of the city's most prized landmarks, including the tree-lined Cherry Creek and Civic Center Park. Having built and improved numerous parks, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and the City Auditorium, a prominent boulevard now runs through downtown bearing his name proudly. In 1908, Denver, nicknamed the "Queen City of the Plains", hosted the Democratic National Convention in what is today's Denver Performing Arts Complex.
Running as the reform candidate, Henry J. Arnold defeated the Speer-Evans ticket in 1912 and become the Mayor of the city of Denver. Much controversy and hype surrounded this forward-thinking Mayor, as he served as a popular whistleblower of the time. Advocating for increased transparency to thwart corruption, Mayor Arnold quickly became a favorite of the people.
J.M. Perkins of Missouri was elected Mayor of the City of Denver in 1913 and served his community for two years. A doctor by profession, member of the American Medical Association, a Freemason, and active in the Baptist church, Mayor Perkins was in office when Denver was hit with the greatest amount of snowfall ever from one storm. A record 45.7 inches fell from December 1st-6th in 1913.
Educated in Denver public schools and a graduate of the University of Denver, Dr. William H. Sharpley served in numerous public offices before he was elected Mayor in 1915. During his time in office, Mayor Sharpley was deeply concerned with and advocated for the health and social welfare of the city. Continuing on in his dedication to his fellow Denverites, he served in the Colorado State Senate, a member to the Second Charter Convention of Denver, the Colorado Medical Association, and the Governor's Guard, just to name a few.
Robert W. Speer was elected Mayor for his fifth term in 1916. Still devoted to city beautification, his Administration oversaw the Denver Zoo expansion, the paving and graveling of nearly all of the city's streets and the launching of an urban forestry program. Ill with pneumonia, Speer was the first Mayor to die while serving in office in the middle of his seventh term in 1918. A prominent boulevard now runs through downtown proudly bearing the name to honor this dedicated Mayor of Denver.|
Present and active during the 1908 Democratic National Convention held in Denver, W. F. R. Mills would become the Mayor of Denver just a decade later and serve until 1919. Originally from New York and a member of both the Freemasons and the Knights Templar, Mills was the president of the City Elite Laundry Company and a Universalist. His 1886 Victorian home that sits comfortably at 3825 W. 32nd Avenue in Denver would later become a city landmark, for its architectural and historic significance.
An active Republican politician running on the promise of bipartisanship, Dewey C. Bailey was elected Mayor of the City of Denver in 1919 and served until 1923. During his time in office, gang activity dominated the spotlight as the infamous Bunko Gang was exposed and its members arrested. Mayor Bailey was also charged with the difficult task of enforcing Prohibition, after its 1919 ratification to the U.S. Constitution.
Dedicated to his community, Kentucky-native Benjamin F. Stapleton was first elected Mayor of Denver in 1923. A First Sergeant in the Spanish-American War and a lawyer by profession, Stapleton was drawn to the political sphere, helping to found the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Having previously served as the police magistrate and the postmaster, Mayor Stapleton was aware of what improvements needed to be made and is credited with many civic improvements in and around Denver. In 1933, Stapleton would be elected Colorado State Auditor
A graduate of the Denver Public School system, George D. Begole was elected Mayor of Denver in 1931. Having served successfully for ten years as city auditor, Begole was popular among the people for his knowledge of the economy and his disdain for wasteful government spending. His election was shrouded with conspiracy, as he won by only a slim margin. He managed to regain control of the city, leading the charge through the tough economic times of the Great Depression. During his last year in office in a dramatic display, Mayor Begole stole a police car that was left open and running. He did this to illustrate the lack of economic awareness in the city's Administration. Begole did not seek a second term in office and returned to business in the private sector.
Elected again in 1935 after serving a term as state auditor, Mayor Stapleton recognized that Denver was disadvantaged as a result of all major railroad lines bypassing the city. He therefore became a strong proponent of the Denver Municipal Airport, which later was renamed Stapleton International Airport in his honor. Though this airport was replaced in 1995 with the Denver International Airport, the Stapleton community remains where the old airport used to stand. Utilizing the funding from President Roosevelt's New Deal, he saw to the creation of the Denver Civic Center, as well as the expansion of the Denver Mountain Parks system, including the Red Rocks Amphitheater.
Elected to office in 1955, Will Nicholson served as the Mayor of Denver from 1955 to 1959. Mayor Nicholson's dedication to improving the city's infrastructure led to the assurance of an adequate water supply for Denver and a reform of the Career Service Authority. Prior to the enactment of federal legislation, Colorado and especially Mayor Nicholson also pioneered the campaign that prohibited housing discrimination.
Businessman Richard Batterton was elected Mayor of the City of Denver in 1959 and served until 1961. Mayor Batterton opened the door to international partnerships with Japan, as he signed the Sister-City Proclamation in July of 1960. Denver and the Japanese city of Takayama would now be explicitly linked, as the proclamation called upon Denver to universally recognize this tie of peace and friendship. During his Administration, Mayor Batterton also devised an evacuation plan for Denver's residents that required them to relocate to the mountains. Especially vexed by the funding cut for highways, the primary means of evacuation, he wrote President Eisenhower on August 17th, 1959 in protest. Today, his historic, architecturally significant home still sits proudly in the Park Hill neighborhood.
Denver-native Thomas G. Currigan was elected Mayor in 1963, after a successful eight years as the City Auditor. A dedicated public servant, Mayor Currigan served until 1968. In 1964, a national design competition selected Denver-based William C. Muchow Associates Architects to design a new convention center. The project was completed in 1969 and named after his grandfather, Martin D. Currigan. Under Mayor Currigan's leadership, the Denver Police Department's morale increased and the city saw a sharp decline in crime rates. Popular among the people, Mayor Currigan also headed a delegation to Japan. During his Administration, Denver saw great progress and economic improvement, earning the Mayor United Press International's Colorado Man of the Year in 1968. Today, Mayor Currigan still resides in Denver.
Son of a former Denver City Auditor and brother of a former Governor of Colorado, William H. McNichols, Jr. continued the political line as he was elected Mayor of Denver in 1968. He served the Denver community until 1983. As his predecessor witnessed, Mayor McNichols also enjoyed great economic prosperity during his Administration. By the 1970s, Denver was booming as a result of exporting Colorado oil to stimulate the sluggish economy. The suburbs sprawled, dotted with shopping malls and restaurants, eventually leading to the opening of the Denver Tech Center. Mayor Bill, as he liked to be called, we Denver's second-longest serving Mayor and also made significant strides with the water supply, building parks, swimming pools and recreation centers, and expanding the Denver Art Museum and the former Mile High Stadium.
Denver's first Latino mayor, Frederico Pena, was sworn into office in 1983. Originally from Texas and an attorney by trade, Pena had already served in the Colorado House of Representatives when he was elected Mayor. Under Mayor Pena's direction, the city successfully weathered the financial troubles that resulted from the oil bust and other private sector failures. He found ways to reinvest in the city to spur economic growth, including the initiation of plans for the new Denver International Airport (DIA) and for a major league baseball team. The economy had rebounded by 1990 and the population swelled as new technical jobs attracted people from across the U.S. and abroad. Denver's Tech Center hit the map as a technological hotspot of the nation, home to companies such as U.S. West, Qwest Communications, TCI, and EchoStar. Pena would later go on to serve as U.S. Secretary of Transportation and U.S. Secretary of Energy under President Clinton, and as Co-Chair of current President Barack Obama's National Campaign. The popular Pena Boulevard, connecting DIA to Interstate 70, proudly boasts his name.
Pennsylvania-native John Hickenlooper was elected Mayor of the City of Denver in 2003. Before taking office as Mayor, Hickenlooper was first catapulted onto the political scene by heading the charge to ensure that "Mile High" remained a part of the name of the new Bronco's stadium. An entrepreneur by profession and Co-Founder of the Wynkoop Brewing Company, Mayor Hickenlooper supported a series of administrative reforms and rallied the urban renewal movement of Lower Downtown. Under his leadership, the budget crisis was confronted, sparking key infrastructural changes throughout the city. Mayor Hickenlooper is well-known for his "10 year plan to end homeless," Denver's legalization of marijuana and Greenprint Denver, his initiative to promote sustainable development and reduce citywide greenhouse gas emissions. Mayor Hickenlooper was instrumental in bringing the Democratic National Convention back to Denver in 2008, the hundredth anniversary of this event's first Denver appearance. Hickenlooper was elected Governor of Colorado in 2010, taking office in January of 2011

I completely agree with my generation not being hard workers. Im 18 and a senior in h.s., ive worked with a contractor, i work in a metal shop now, do landscaping on the skde and i have for years i have yet to meet, in person, someone my age who works as much as i do. Then the people who work take no pride in their work. It drives me insane.
Speaking of working hard, it's like pulling teeth just to get my 12 and 15 yr old's to help rake leaves. And me, I just go ahead and do it myself because it's easier, it's the way I was raised, you just do it. I used to try to make my boys do things like that but it seems that society has changed to pamper kids. They cry to my wife and she thinks I'm being hard on them. She was raised with the "you can't hold a baby too much" mentality. Me, if the diaper is good and no fever, then cry away cause I got ear plugs! All the guys in my shop are the same way. Out of 30 plus guys, I'm the youngest (42) and now were wondering who's going to do the hard work when we start to slow down? Yeah, i'm just ranting too. Great topic though.
p.s. to the original poster, you may need to start welders at a lower age and $$$'s and train them in how you want them to weld. If you pay them well and get them decent benefits and vacations as they grow and learn, maybe they will stick around.

Mines 18 and the same way. I own a small engineering company and he thinks he's gonna come and sit at a desk and play video games all day and get paid.
I can't win with him....if I push then I'm being to tough if I sit back he does nothing and I go ballistic. Another guy in the office is going to manage him for a while we'll see how that works out.
I just keep telling him if he doesn't get his act together to just remember that I don't like pickles on my Whoppers.

It seems to be the same with my field or any field for that matter. I am a carpenter by trade, and finding a good carpenter is so very tough. I would say we would go through 10-15 people telling us how good they are all the stuff they know blah blah blah. But when it comes time to actually doing it they are mostely clowns. So i guess its the same with any skilled trade. If you do find someone good, they want big money and its worth it at least it has been for me, but even those guys end up just going off on thier own.
Its really tough now adays to find good help, I say when you do take care of them good, cause its been the toughest thing I have run into. its harder to find good help, then it is to find work for the help.

"diamondfab", good welders are made, not born, but good men are born (more precisely, raised), not made.
If you can't find new-hires who are both good welders and good men, look for the good men who are as yet mediocre welders. Good men WANT to be shown how to do a job better, they WELCOME any positive instruction, they ASPIRE to become truly professional-grade, . . . and they detest working in places that don't seem to value professionalism other than with meaningless slogans exhorting "Quality and Pride". Companies in which the owners or officers or even second-level supervisors never appear on the jobsite and personally inspect the work of even their lowliest employees are not ones in which good men feel anyone cares about their efforts to do good work.
With, as I understand, the disappearance of the best of the old-fashioned formal apprenticeship programs (I regret never having been in one), the better employers will pretty much have to look for men who are eager to be trained up. Some young guys who mean well may not be as aware of the potential for self-instruction (via books and videos) if they weren't well-raised or well-schooled. Hand them a list of instructional resources and tell them that if they learn the tech stuff, your foremen will show them the hands-on part so that they can become REAL welders.

So you give them a job, they refuse to do the job, then you go do the job?
Seems to me that you are creating your own problem right there.
Maybe if you made it a "do your job or no meals for you till it's done" type gig then the leaves would get raked. You appear to be making your own problems.
Children behave in the way you expect them to if consequences are attached to their actions.
If you just give up and do the work yourself, they will play you till the day you die. Try that in the Army : )
Everybody is dogging on the current generation but I see a lot of hard working, ambitious, want to learn young workers in my day. They said the same thing about your generation and the many before that. Maybe I'm an anomily but I see quite a few hard nosed young hands in my line of work.
Of course there's quite a bit on money to be had, so that might skew the results from the cheap labor pool.

My kids get no favors from me and working a full time job and a side job, I'm not going to babysit them. They've learned to go to their Mother or her Parents who disagree with my methods. I offer them what they need to learn. You see it all the time, A parent get's in trouble for disciplining their kids and sometimes I catch myself thinking, what did the Parent do wrong? I don't believe in hurting or shaming, degrading a child but "timeout's" don't work.
My kids can (and will) blame a lot of things on me when they get older but they can't say that I didn't try to teach them through example or that I did't try to show them the right way to do things. I was in the Army. One thing I learned is to never ask anyone to do something I wouldn't do myself, and in most cases, I will do it with them. I probably learned my best work ethics washing dishes at the local "Sirloin Stockade" as a teenager though.
