Our friends at al-Reuters lead the story with this headline:
But look at what the story actually says (if you dare to dive beneath the headline):
The number of U.S. workers making new claims for unemployment benefits rose by a smaller-than-expected 4,000 last week…
Smaller than expected. Which means economists thought it would be worse and it wasn't.
The four-week moving average of initial claims, which smoothes weekly volatility to yield a more reliable indication of underlying trends in the labor market, declined by 7,750 to 276,500, its lowest level since April 2000.
Even the "more reliable" indicator shows that jobless claims declined… and more importantly they're at their lowest levels in almost 6 years. In other words, less people filed unemployment claims. In other words, more people had employment. In other words… ah, hell, nevermind. If you don't get it by now, you never will.
The claims data followed upbeat news from the job market in January, when the U.S. unemployment rate fell to 4.7 percent, its lowest level in 4-1/2 years, as employers hired 193,000 workers in the month.Analysts say this has mopped up much of the remaining slack in the U.S. labor market and with the economy near full employment — a theoretical level indicating the lowest level of unemployment that can be sustained without triggering wage inflation — the Federal Reserve will keep raising interest rates.
Yet, the headline reads:
Jobless claims up slightly in latest week
Go figure.

All About
Celebrate the best flavors of fall when you serve up unforgettable apple recipes. Apples lend a crisp flavor to pies, salads, and more -- even martinis. Take advantage of one of fall's most versatile fruits before it's too late. You might even discover a new favorite apple!
Apple Recipes
Apple-picking season begins in late August or early September and lasts through November. Because apples keep well in cold storage, they are available year-round.
Apple Pie with Pecan Streusel
Pastry chef Melody Farrar, from the Inn at Pound Ridge, shared her recipe for these individual apple pies with Martha.
Apple Stuffing
Apple Fritters
Best served warm, these fragrant, golden morsels are by turns tender, crisp, and fruity. A simpler (no-yeast) alternative to sufganiyot -- the traditional jam-filled Jewish doughnut served during Hanukkah -- the fritters are studded with diced sweet apples and generously dusted with confectioners' sugar. Be forewarned: They can be addictively delicious.
Shingled-Leaf Brandy Apple Pie
The layered finish that tops this apple pie from our Pies & Tarts book is created by shingling the leaves. Pastry cutouts in any shape can be arranged in this manner; here, a flurry of leaves accentuates the pie's autumnal nature.

We are a fourth-generation family owned automotive group that is working hard to turn the perception of the auto dealership industry upside down. We believe we're successful because we listen to our guests.
We know that most people hate the hassle and wasted time of the back and forth negotiation process, so we've changed the way we do business to put the fun back into buying cars.
Our upfront pricing and a negotiation free buying process ensures every guest is treated with integrity, kindness and respect. Our pay is not commission based. Our product specialists will help you to find the car that best fits your needs at a price you can afford.
When was the last time you loved your auto dealership?
At Grappone, we're Driven To Amaze.
The Grappone Automotive Group of New Hampshire has six brands in one place to provide you the best selection possible. We give our guests the ability to cross shop top models to find the best deal on new Honda, Hyundai, Ford, Mazda, Toyota and Scion Cars. Best of all you don't have to start over when you go to a different Grappone dealership. You can start test driving a new Ford Fusion and end up buying a new Toyota Camry at Grappone Toyota in Concord. Either way we are here to help and will have all your information ready when you want to test drive your next car. We work hard to set ourselves apart from the auto dealerships in NH.
Manchester used car dealers don't have the selection and upfront pricing that we do. All our used trucks and cars are priced based on availability, demand and inventory. You don't have to be from Manchester to know we offer the best prices upfront and negotiation free. We have guests that make the short drive to find the best car deals from Bedford, Londonberry, Goffstown, Hooksett, Laconia, Tilton, Hillsborough, Epping and beyond.
Our Product Specialists are knowledgeable and helpful when you visit Grappone. Best of all they are not paid on commission. Their goal is to find you the car that suits your needs.

Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding
Topic Overview
Many women experience abnormal vaginal bleeding or spotting between periods sometime in their lives. Vaginal bleeding is considered to be abnormal if it occurs:
- When you are not expecting your menstrual period.
- When your menstrual flow is lighter or heavier than what is normal for you.
- At a time in life when it is not expected, such as before age 10, when you are pregnant, or after menopause.
Causes of abnormal bleeding
Abnormal vaginal bleeding has many possible causes. By itself, it does not necessarily indicate a serious condition.
- Because bleeding can indicate a problem with
pregnancy, possible pregnancy should always be considered in a woman of
childbearing age.
- Spotting to minimal bleeding may be normal, but any bleeding during pregnancy needs to be evaluated by your doctor.
- Heavy vaginal bleeding or bleeding that occurs before 12 weeks may indicate a serious problem, including an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage.
- Heavy vaginal bleeding or bleeding that occurs after 12 weeks also may indicate a serious problem, such as placenta previa.
- Ovulation can cause midcycle bleeding.
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormone imbalance that interferes with normal ovulation which can cause abnormal bleeding.
- Medicines, such as birth control pills, sometimes cause abnormal vaginal bleeding. You may have minor bleeding between periods during the first few months if you have recently started using birth control pills. You also may have bleeding if you do not take your pills at a regular time each day. For more information, see the topic Birth Control.
- An intrauterine device (IUD) also may increase your chances of spotting or heavy periods. For more information on the IUD, see the topic Birth Control.
- Infection of the pelvic organs (vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries) may cause vaginal bleeding, especially after intercourse or douching. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are often the cause of infections. For more information, see the topic Exposure to Sexually Transmitted Diseases.
- Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) causes inflammation or infection of the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries which can cause abnormal bleeding.
Other, less common causes of abnormal vaginal bleeding that may be more serious include:
- Sexual abuse.
- An object in the vagina.
- Uterine fibroids , which are a common cause of heavy periods. For more information, see the topic Uterine Fibroids.
- Structural problems, such as urethral prolapse or polyps.
- Cancer of the cervix, uterus, ovaries, or vagina.
- Extreme emotional stress and excessive exercise. But excessive exercise more frequently causes an absence of menstruation (amenorrhea).
- Other diseases, such as hyperthyroidism or diabetes.
Heavy bleeding during the first few weeks after delivery (postpartum) or after an abortion may occur because the uterus has not contracted to the prepregnancy size or because fetal tissue remains in the uterus (retained products of conception).
If you are age 40 or older, abnormal vaginal bleeding may mean that you are entering perimenopause. In a woman who has not had a menstrual period for 12 months, vaginal bleeding is always abnormal and should be discussed with your doctor.
Treatment of abnormal vaginal bleeding depends on the cause of the bleeding.
Use the Check Your Symptoms section to decide if and when you should see a doctor.
Home Treatment
There is no home treatment for abnormal vaginal bleeding. With some types of vaginal bleeding, it may be okay to wait to see if the bleeding stops on its own. Be sure to review the Check Your Symptoms section to determine if and when you need to see a doctor. If the bleeding continues or gets worse, a visit to a doctor is needed to determine the reason for the bleeding.
If you are using tampons for abnormal vaginal bleeding, be sure to change them often and do not leave one in place when the bleeding has stopped. A tampon left in the vagina may put you at risk for toxic shock syndrome (TSS). TSS is a rare but life-threatening illness that develops suddenly after a bacterial infection rapidly affects several different organ systems.
If you are age 45 or older, you may be experiencing perimenopause. For more information, see the topic Menopause and Perimenopause.
Symptoms to Watch For During Home Treatment
Use the Check Your Symptoms section to evaluate your symptoms if any of the following occur during home treatment:
- Abnormal bleeding returns.
- Bleeding increases or becomes severe enough to cause weakness or lightheadedness.
- Fever or pain in the lower abdomen develops.
- Symptoms do not improve within 2 months.
- Symptoms become more severe or frequent.
You may be able to prevent abnormal vaginal bleeding.
- Maintain a healthy weight. Women who are overweight or underweight have more problems with abnormal vaginal bleeding. For more information, see the topic Weight Management.
- If you are using birth control pills, be sure to take them as directed and at the same time every day. For more information, see the topic Birth Control.
- If you are taking hormone replacement therapy, take your pills as directed and at the same time every month.
- Learn to practice relaxation exercises to reduce and cope with stress. Stress may cause abnormal vaginal bleeding. For more information, see the topic Stress Management.
- Take a
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), such as
naproxen or ibuprofen. NSAIDs reduce menstrual bleeding by decreasing the
production of substances called prostaglandins. The usual recommended dose of
ibuprofen is 400 mg every 6 hours. Begin taking the medicine on the first day
of your period and continue taking it until your menstrual bleeding stops. Be
sure to follow these nonprescription medicine precautions.
- Carefully read and follow all label directions on the medicine bottle and box.
- Use, but do not exceed, the maximum recommended doses.
- Do not take a medicine if you have had an allergic reaction to it in the past.
- If you have been told to avoid a medicine, call your doctor before taking it.
- If you are or could be pregnant, call your doctor before using any medicine.
Preparing For Your Appointment
To prepare for your appointment, see the topic Making the Most of Your Appointment.
You can help your doctor diagnose and treat your condition by being prepared to answer the following questions:
- What was the date of your last menstrual period?
- When was your previous period? Was it normal?
- Do you have regular cycles, such as a period every 25 to 35 days?
- If you have been through menopause, how long ago was your last menstrual period?
- How
severe (heavy) is your usual menstrual flow? Keep track of your menstrual flow on a
calendar, and take your calendar to show your doctor.
- What is the average length of each period, and how many pads or tampons do you use per day during your period?
- Do you pass many clots and how big are they?
- Do you change pads or tampons during the night?
- Are you sexually active?
- Do you engage in high-risk sexual behaviors?
- Are you currently using any type of birth control method?
- Have you missed any birth control pills or failed to have your Depo-Provera injection according to schedule?
- Have you done a home pregnancy test? If so, when did you do the test and what was the result?
- Have you been under increased physical or emotional stress?
- Have you recently changed your diet or exercise habits?
- Have you recently gained or lost weight?
- What prescription or nonprescription medicines are you taking, if any?
- Do you have any other symptoms, such as lower abdominal pain?
- Have you had other similar episodes and, if so:
- What evaluation was done?
- What was the diagnosis?
- What was the treatment?
- What were the results?
- Do you have any health risks?

We spoke with major food manufacturers in Australia in 2013 and found little desire to go beyond FSANZ labelling requirements when it comes to palm oil. Leaders in the mainstream grocery market, including Arnott's, Coca Cola (SPC Ardmona), Goodman Fielder, Nestlé, Simplot, Unilever and General Mills, all use palm oil but label it as vegetable oil.
When it comes to private label goods, Coles and Woolworths both specifically identify palm oil, while Aldi labels it as vegetable oil.
On a comparative global scale, international palm oil labelling standards seem to serve overseas consumers better than Australian ones. The Food Information Regulation, published by the EU, requires the type of vegetable oil used in food to be stated. Transitional arrangements are in place until this new regulation comes into effect in December 2014. Taking this one step further, the French government is even said to be seeking to impose a tax on palm oil (as well as coconut and palm kernel oil). The US and Canada also require palm oil to be labelled.
Many large food manufacturers have joined the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, which aims to encourage those using palm oil to purchase from sustainable sources. All the companies we spoke to responded to questions about the labelling of palm oil with information about their sustainability commitments. But just because palm oil can be sourced sustainably doesn't make it better for your health.
Although palm oil is rich in carotenoids (antioxidants), it contains more than 50% saturated fat. It doesn't contain cholesterol, but can cause raised total cholesterol and "bad" cholesterol levels, depending on the levels of other fats in the diet. The WHO believes there's convincing evidence that palmitic acid (which is found in palm oil) contributes to an increase in the risk of cardiovascular disease, and for heart health the Heart Foundation recommends steering clear of high saturated fat ingredients, such as palm oil.
We want labelling laws to make it mandatory for food labels to list palm oil in the ingredients list, rather than hiding it as unspecified vegetable oil. We'd like food manufacturers to replace palm oil wherever possible with healthier oils that are sustainably sourced. Where no suitable alternative exists, manufacturers should be required to use only certified sustainable palm oil.

Trinity Soccer Teams Up with North Chicago Youth
by Wendy Moore, assistant sports information director
On Saturday, May 4, Trinity International University Men's and Women's Soccer spent their final team activity of the year serving the local community and sharing their love of the game with youth from North Chicago.
Freshmen Nikki Post said that they spent time "teaching the kids about the NAIA Champions of Character Core Values, what those values look like in everyday life, and just letting them know they are loved."
"I can't think of a better way to end our year than serving the Lord by loving on these kids," Post added.
The North Chicago community is about 15 miles from Trinity's campus, but the two worlds could not be more different. Trinity is located in affluent Bannockburn, Illinois, surrounded by major business corporations, strong school districts, and upper class neighborhoods. A twenty-minutes drive north, however, reveals an under-resourced community that at one time was called a "food desert." Many of the youth from North Chicago have faced difficulties beyond their years.
Trinity's soccer players organized the day in its entirety—from games and activity stations to how they would greet the kids the minute they stepped off the bus. The five NAIA Core Values of Sportsmanship, Respect, Servant Leadership, Integrity, and Responsibility were integrated into the different activities throughout the day. One TIU Men's Player and Women's Player would be at each station to speak on a specific core value and interact with the youth on how they could apply it to their lives. The core values would also be strategically woven into the activity and then talked about after each game. The remaining soccer players who did not take part in this facilitation were divided into teams and each of them selected a few boys and girls that they would then be intentionally spending time with throughout the day.
"I hung with a kid named Marson all day," Trinity Junior Greg Navitsky said. "We had so much fun! His joy and love for the atmosphere was electric. At each station we did a handshake that we came up with, and he also asked me to give him piggyback rides to all the stations. It reminded me of how the love of Jesus Christ loves to be present with us and how he never grows tired, weak, or weary."
After two hours of fun, fellowship, and learning, the day came to a close with a pizza party.
Trinity Men's and Women's Soccer Head Coach Patrick Gilliam said that he is "extremely proud of both our small group leaders and our two teams for their planning in the weeks leading up to the event and their investment in the youth of North Chicago. As is often the case, I think we were the ones who were more blessed by what took place."

Man stabbed several times in Sunbury
SUNBURY — A Sunbury man was hospitalized at Geisinger Medical Center after police say he was stabbed several times on Friday night. 26-year-old Shawn Snurkowski is in fair condition at Geisinger Medical Center after the incident. Two brothers, 31-year-old Damian Badman of Shamokin and 29-year-old Brian Badman of Sunbury, are locked up in the Northumberland County Prison, charged with stabbing Snurkowski.
Also injured in the stabbing was a woman identified as Amber Edwards, but her address was not known.
Police say the stabbing took place on North Sixth Street around 8:30 p.m. when a fight broke out, allegedly prompted by the Badman brothers. They were arrested a short time later by Sunbury police, who were assisted by Northumberland and Point Township officers. Snurkowski was flown to Geisinger with stab wounds to his chest and neck.

On June 13th, the South County Tornadoes U14 Boys team competed in the Superliga Championship game. After a successful 7-1 season in the anchor division, the Tornadoes won the Championship with a 1-0 win over <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Portsmouth in overtime. After a tough defensive battle, Jon Chiaradio scored the winning goal 2 minutes into the first overtime. The Tornadoes played great team defense and possessed the ball throughout the game; the boys were turned away many times before finally breaking through in overtime. Sean Gorman played well in goal and recorded the shutout. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Having won the Superliga Championship, the Tornadoes were hoping for a repeat of their Under-12 season in which they were both Superliga and RI Cup Champs. In the RI Cup semifinal on June 27th, the Tornadoes were able to avenge their only loss of the season with a decisive 4-0 win over Middletown. The boys controlled the possession throughout the game. Jon Chiaradio, Sheamus ORourke, Colin McCarty and Evan Byron scored goals for the winners. Another great defensive performance stymied Middletowns efforts.
In the Championship game on June 28th, the Tornadoes again played Portsmouth. The game was a back and forth battle, neither team being able to break through the others defense. The game went through regulation and overtime without either team scoring. The game was decided by penalty kicks and won by the Tornadoes 3-2. Matt Murano, Sheamus ORourke and Tim Lee scored for the winners. Sean Gorman had another stellar game in goal and saved the last penalty kick to preserve the win.
I want to thank the players for a great effort all season. I would also thank Peter ORourke and Eric Eisendrath for all their help during the season.

It's those damn hormones and... it's television's fault! Yes! Television! That gotdurn Music TeleVision and those My Chemical Romance and those Dashboard Confessional. I remember the good old days when we had Pantera and Metallica and other better bands that made us want to kill other people, not ourselves. Those were the times. Yessiree, those were times.
Kids these days tend to get more depressed than kids were a decade ago. It's a side effect from trying to grow up too fast. You get smacked across the face by the angst and then kicked in the gut. And also, can't we also blame the whole "emo" music trend too? ^o^

In 1984, East Berlin, an agent of the Stasi (secret police), whilst conducting surveillance on a writer and his lover, finds himself becoming increasingly absorbed by their lives. Before seeing this film, I had little knowledge of everyday life in East Germany during this period. This was a real eye-opener for me. I didn't quite realise the extremes the Stasi went to, in order to ensure its civilians remained true and proper to its society's values. This film provides some truly remarkable performances and is a real thought-provoker. It was certainly worthy of the Oscar. A must-see.
This is the story of France's equivalent to John Dillinger, Jacques Mesrine, before he was labelled Public Enemy N°1. For the unknowing, Jacques Mesrine was a prolific bank robber/womaniser who boasted to being untouchable. Despite being caught and incarcerated a bunch of times, he continued to escape and pursued a journey of blood and destruction. He consequently became infamous and a real icon in France. Vincent Cassel once again can't be touched in his art.
A married couple is terrorised by a series of surveillance videotapes left on their front porch. Michael Haneke strikes again in his ability to scare the living shit out of me without really presenting a threat. There were times when I wouldn't blink, shift myself or pick up my drink for fear that I may have a heart attack at any time. There is one scene in this film that had me absolutely alarmed, and there is one scene that had me begging for sunlight. This was my first experience with this director and certainly wasn't my last.
Two con artists try to swindle a stamp collector by selling him a sheet of counterfeit rare stamps (the "nine queens"). My first of two Argentinian films in this list, this is a classic 'who is conning who?' tale. With a great soundtrack, a truly warming ensemble of characters, as well as the mystery, this was the film that put the Argentinian film industry on the map for me. If you can work out from the off who the 'real' con-artist is, you are a genius!
A retired legal counselor writes a novel hoping to find closure for one of his past unresolved homicide cases and for his unreciprocated love with his superior – both of which still haunt him decades later. I took a punt on this film after its surprising win at the 2010 Oscars and it was well worth it. Ricardo Darin (Nine Queens) demonstrates why he is the biggest actor in Argentina with a truly cool and collected performance in an electrifying thriller. I loved this film. I hope this is the start of things to come in Argentina.
With no legal means left to him, a high school teacher devises a daring plan to rescue his wrongfully imprisoned wife from jail. There is not much more to say about this film other than it is exactly what a romantic thriller should be. The chemistry is unequivocally genuine and compelling. This is France's answer to True Romance. I really wish there were more films like this.
A horrific car accident connects three stories, each involving characters dealing with loss, regret, and life's harsh realities, all in the name of love. I do confess to only thoroughly enjoying two of the three stories, but these two are enough. The story of the woman in the apartment searching for the dog…pfff! The story of the dog-loving loner, who pays his way through assassinating and fucking up dudes…wow! For anyone looking for a gritty, real-life thriller/drama, this is your film. Oh, and the old loner/killer is a badass like no other!
Pediatrician, Alexandre Beck, misses his beloved wife, Margot Beck, who was brutally murdered eight years ago. He was the prime suspect. When two bodies are found near where the corpse of Margot was dumped, the police reopen the case and Alex becomes a suspect again. The mystery increases when Alex receives an e-mail showing Margot older and alive. Everything starts to unravel beautifully. Rumours are circulating that Ben Affleck is in line to do what Hollywood does best – ruin a little foreign gem. Why can't they leave them the fuck alone!
Sebastian, a young man, has decided to follow instructions intended for someone else, without knowing where they will take him. Something else he does not know is that Gerard Dorez, a cop on a knife-edge, is tailing him. When he reaches his destination, Sebastian falls into a degenerate, clandestine world of mental chaos behind closed doors, in which men gamble on the lives of others men. This modern classic is proof that it really doesn't take a ridiculous budget to make a film powerful enough to stay with you. This is the simple story of a man who finds himself way out of his depth. I don't know if people actually find themselves getting into situations like this. God forbid this shit should even exist. A real tour-de-force.

Steelers regular-season wrap-up
Steelers regular-season wrap-up
By James Walker http://espn.go.com/blog/afcnorth/print?id=22771 Arrow indicates direction team is trending. (Note the Arrow is up - mesa) Final Power Ranking: No. 3 Preseason Power Ranking: No. 18 Troy Polamalu had an MVP-caliber season, with 7 interceptions, 63 tackles, a sack and a forced fumble. Biggest surprise: The first surprise was Pittsburgh's going 3-1 to start the season without suspended quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. That set the tone for the rest of the year and eventually led the Steelers to a No. 2 seed and a first-round bye in the playoffs. In terms of players, not much was expected this year of rookie third-round pick Emmanuel Sanders. He showed some flashes in training camp, gradually kept working and eventually became the Steelers' No. 3 receiver. That's an important role in Pittsburgh's offense, and Sanders finished the regular season with 28 receptions for 376 yards and two touchdowns. He joins 2009 draft pick Mike Wallace as a pair of great finds at receiver in the third round. Biggest disappointment: The Steelers thought highly enough of kicker Jeff Reed to give him the franchise tag this season. But Reed's year in Pittsburgh was so tumultuous that the Steelers cut ties with their kicker in midseason. Reed had some off-the-field troubles and also complained publicly about his contract. After getting off to a poor start, missing seven field goals, Reed was released and replaced by Shaun Suisham, who has done very well, making 14 of 15 field goals in seven games. Biggest need: The Steelers fixed their center position by using their 2010 first-round pick on Maurkice Pouncey, who was a Pro Bowler in his first year. Now Pittsburgh needs to work on the guard and tackle positions. Roethlisberger took another pounding this year, despite missing four games. He was sacked 32 times in 12 games, which is an average of 2.7 sacks per game. Roethlisberger also had his nose broken this year and suffered a significant foot injury. Adding a blue-chip offensive tackle or guard would help. Team MVP: Troy Polamalu. The dynamic Pro Bowl safety made game-changing plays all season for the Steelers and is the only defensive player in the conversation for Player of the Year in the NFL. Polamalu (Achilles) looked good in the final game of the regular season against the Cleveland Browns, and his health will play a major role in Pittsburgh's chances to win its second Super Bowl in three years. Draft Watch: The Steelers do not have a lot of holes, but look for them to try to add depth to their offensive line and secondary. As we mentioned earlier, Pittsburgh could use an upgrade at the guard and tackle positions on offense. No. 1 cornerback Ike Taylor is solid, but he will be a free agent, and Pittsburgh has to decide whether to bring back the 30-year-old or go younger at the position. The Steelers have tried drafting younger corners recently and missed on players like Joe Burnett and Keenan Lewis. Pittsburgh already has the NFL's best defense. But if it ever lands a couple of shutdown corners, the Steelers will be extremely difficult to score against. |

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Horn & Hardart was a food services company in the United States noted for operating the first food service automats in Philadelphia and New York City.
Philadelphia's Joseph Horn (1861–1941) and German-born, New Orleans-raised Frank Hardart (1850–1918)[1] opened their first restaurant together in Philadelphia on December 22, 1888. The small (11 x 17 foot) lunchroom at 39 South Thirteenth Street had no tables, only a counter with 15 stools. Formerly, the location had housed the print shop of Dunlap & Claypoole, printers to the American Congress and George Washington.
By introducing Philadelphia to New Orleans-style French-drip coffee, which Hardart promoted as their "gilt-edge" brew, they made their tiny luncheonette a local attraction. News of the coffee spread, and the business flourished. They incorporated as the Horn & Hardart Baking Company in 1898.[2]
Horn and Hardart opened their first Automat restaurant in the USA in Philadelphia on June 12, 1902, borrowing the concept of automatic food service from a successful German establishment, Berlin's Quisisana Automat.[3] The first New York Automat opened in Times Square July 2, 1912. Later that week, another opened at Broadway and East 14th Street, near Union Square.
In 1924, Horn & Hardart opened retail stores to sell prepackaged automat favorites. Using the advertising slogan "Less Work for Mother," the company popularized the notion of easily served "take-out" food as an equivalent to "home-cooked" meals.[4][5]
The Horn & Hardart Automats were particularly popular during the Depression era when their macaroni and cheese, baked beans and creamed spinach were staple offerings. In the 1930s, union conflicts resulted in vandalism, as noted by Christopher Gray in The New York Times:
By the time of Horn's death in 1941, the business had 157 retail shops and restaurants in the Philadelphia and New York areas and served 500,000 patrons a day.[7] During the 1940s and the 1950s, more than 50 New York Horn & Hardart restaurants served 350,000 customers a day.
In 1953, the company split into two independent corporations. The New York company was named the Horn & Hardart Company, while the Philadelphia company was named the Horn & Hardart Baking Company. New York was traded on the American Stock Exchange and Philadelphia was traded on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange.
These cafeterias featured prepared foods behind small glass windows and coin-operated slots, beginning with buns, beans, fish cakes and coffee. These were popular, busy restaurants, where in the late 1950s, for under $1.00, one could enjoy a large, if somewhat plain meal, purchased with nickels usually obtained from the cashier. Each stack of glass-doored dispensers had a metal cylinder that could be rotated by the staff on the other side of the vending wall, hiding the contents while they refilled each dispenser in the stack with a plate of salad, pudding, meat or vegetables. Each dispenser had a slot for one or more nickels, and a knob to rotate the nickels out of view into the internal cash box and to allow the glass door to be raised up and locked in a horizontal position for easy removal of the plate or bowl of food. More expensive items required tokens valued up to 75¢ which were available from the cashier. Some of the rectangular dispensers were heated, some cooled. Eventually, they served lunch and dinner entrees, such as beef stew and Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes. The self-service restaurants operated in the city for nearly a century.[2]
Carolyn Hughes Crowley described the appeal of the Automats:
The restaurants remained popular into the 1960s with automats, sit-down waitress service restaurants, cafeterias, and bakery shops. In the late 1960s, consultants attempted to develop automats with interior decoration relevant to surrounding neighborhoods; thus, the Automat on 14th Street was decorated with psychedelic posters. The eateries began to close with the rise of fast-food restaurants. By the mid-1970s, at some locations, Burger King franchises replaced the automats.[9] Horn & Hardart further expanded its fast food operations in 1981, with its acquisition of the Bojangles' Famous Chicken n' Biscuits restaurants, which it sold to a California investment company in 1990 for $20 million.[10] The last New York Horn & Hardart Automat (on the southeast corner of 42nd Street and Third Avenue) closed in April 1991.[11] Horn & Hardart continued to own a catalog division; it renamed itself Hanover Direct in 1993.
Horn & Hardart opened two 1950s themed Dine-O-Mat restaurants in New York. They closed in 1989 after less than two years in operation. More recently, the Horn & Hardart name was used for a now-defunct chain of coffee shops in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Horn & Hardart Coffee Co. closed its last coffee shop in 2005. A company called Horn & Hardart Brands has a website, with a 2014 copyright, offering coffee and cheese spreads at Philadelphia area food stores.[12]
A version of the current automats used in the Netherlands, was located in New York's East Village at 37 St. Mark's Place between Second Avenue and Third Avenue, but has since closed.
In the early 1990s two entrepreneurs bought the Philadelphia company (Horn & Hardart Baking Co.) out of bankruptcy. While they did not open any restaurants, they did reproduce a dozen of the most famous food items, including macaroni and cheese, Harvard beets, tapioca pudding and cucumber salad.[13] The food was packaged fresh, refrigerated, and sold in supermarkets throughout Philadelphia and New Jersey. The food was still available up until 2002, then disappeared from the stores.
Beginning in 1927, Horn & Hardart sponsored a radio program, The Horn and Hardart Children's Hour, a variety show with a cast of children (including some who later as adults became well-known performers). The program was broadcast first on WCAU Radio in Philadelphia, hosted by Stan Lee Broza. It was broadcast on NBC Radio in New York during the 1940s and 1950s. The original New York host was Paul Douglas, succeeded by Ralph Edwards and finally Ed Herlihy.
The television premiere of The Horn & Hardart Children's Hour appeared on WCAU TV in Philadelphia in 1948, succeeded by WNBT(TV) in New York in 1949, telecast on Sunday mornings. Stan Lee Broza hosted in Philadelphia and Ed Herlihy in New York. Frankie Avalon was a frequent performer of the Children's Hour as a child prodigy trumpet player.
The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History has displayed in its cafe an ornate 35-foot Automat section, complete with mirrors, marble and marquetry, from Philadelphia's 1902 Horn & Hardart. In November 2002, the Museum of the City of New York had a special Automat centennial exhibition featuring photographs, artifacts, original furniture, china and vending machine panels.
The New York Public Library opened an exhibition on June 22, 2012, titled "Lunch Hour NYC".[14] The exhibition "looks back at more than a century of New York lunches, when the city's early power brokers invented the 'power lunch'...... and visitors with guidebooks thronged Times Square to eat lunch at the Automat." Among many educational and entertaining items is a fully restored wall of Automat windows. The exhibit was scheduled to run until February 17, 2013.

2 July 2007
The Color Palette panel (v1.25) described in this article replaces the v1.2 panel that ships with Fireworks CS3. You will need to install the updated panel using the Extension Manager in order to see the command panel functionality described in this article.
This article assumes a working knowledge of the basic concepts behind vector and bitmap graphics.
The majority of designers like me are probably not completely satisfied with the default Color Mixer in Adobe Fireworks. Several years ago I developed a command panel for Macromedia Fireworks MX that helped me brainstorm and create colors, such as seeing the blending of two colors, creating and swapping color schemes, and implementing a unique way to select colors in Fireworks.
The first version I initially developed received a lot of positive feedback from the Fireworks community, which motivated me to make a new version that is actually now installed by default in Fireworks CS3. I again received good feedback from the beta testers, and in beta I was able to make slight modifications to make the experience smoother based on their feedback. However, due to my daily workload, I didn't have time to make any major changes to the architecture or add new features.
Since the time I originally developed the Color Palette panel in Flash 7 (ActionScript 1.0), the latest version of Flash has new capabilities that have opened up new possibilities. Now that Fireworks supports ActionScript 3.0 for developing these types of panels, even more doors have opened to greater functionality. This article gets you up to speed on the new Color Palette panel in Fireworks CS3.
The Color Palette (see Figure 1) is intended to improve your workflow while you experiment and work with colors in Fireworks CS3. This command panel ultimately helps you to find a color or complete color scheme for your web layouts and designs.
To open the command panel, select Window > Others > Color Palette.
The Color Palette command panel is not a modal dialog box, which would prevent you from performing any actions until you close the panel. Rather, you can dock it on the main interface with other panels. You can change the states of the Color Palette by selecting options in the pop-up menu at the top of the panel (see Figure 2).
The new update for the Color Palette command panel sports many improvements:
One big benefit of the Selector panel (see Figure 3) that I use often is converting a color from one model to another. The Selector panel gives you the ability to convert color values to RGB, HSV, HLS, or CMYK color models, as well as select the appropriate web- or non-websafe color. You may edit color components like hue, lightness, saturation, brightness, and tune the values of red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow. This effectively solves the designer's never-ending task of converting a color given by a customer or another designer and using it in the color scheme you are working with at the time. In addition, grabbing a color from the HLS graphical display is handy when you just need to find a color quickly.
Selector panel controls:
Note: Fireworks documents are based on the RGB color model; the Color Palette's CMYK tab is simply a calculation. Although the conversions in the CMYK model are accurate, they are intended only for achieving an approximate color estimation.
The Color Palette presents the value of the color you selected in four ranges: byte, percent, degree-byte, and degree-percent (see Figure 4). The color values in RGB and CMYK models are ranged in byte or percent rates only.
The Selector panel now works with a selected object on the canvas by letting you change the color of a stroke or fill of the selected object (see Figure 5). The Color Palette determines which property you wish to edit by which property is currently active: stroke or fill. After picking a color, you can decide if you want to find the nearest websafe or non-websafe hexadecimal value for the color—the color that will be consistently displayed in all browsers across different operating systems.
Note: At present, the Color Palette doesn't let you edit the gradient fill of an object. It also does not work with groups of objects. In this case, it's better to use the standard tools in Fireworks.
Usually a website design is based on three or four basic colors and their gradations. Often, using a large number of unrelated colors diverts attention and could damage the integrity of the design. With the Mixers panel, you can select four basic colors and edit them with ease (see Figure 6). The gradations of these colors are suitable for creating minor design elements such as text fields and vector shapes like a header or a stroke when rapidly prototyping layouts.
Mixers panel controls:
You can save the color scheme in two ways from the Mixers panel: as a bitmap image (BMP) or as a color table file (ACT). The parallel color schemes (Palette1 and Palette2) to the left of the color wheel allow you to replace the color scheme in a document with just one click. Suppose you are making a web design that you need to show to a client in different color combinations. You select the colors from Palette1, do your great design, and save the document. After that you edit the colors in Palette2. Now all you have to do is click the ''Replace'' button to swap color schemes from Palette1 to Palette2 or vice versa. The Color Palette does all the work for you—after a few seconds your sketch is updated with the new colors!
Note: At present, the swap palette functionality works for vector elements only; it doesn't change the colors in images. Another limitation you should be aware of is that the panel currently doesn't update colors in graphic symbols, animation symbols, or button symbols.
Download the sample file (template.png) in the Requirements section of this article to test the swap palette functionality for yourself (see Figure 7).
The idea behind the Blender panel (see Figure 8) is straightforward: you get the gradient between two colors and have the ability to choose the number of intermediate colors. It's simple, yet very effective.
Blender panel controls:
Sometimes your stakeholders give you colors specified not by a numerical definition, such as an RGB value, but by a name. At present there are standards for named colors for the web. These color names are included in the W3C's CSS3 Color Module Candidate Recommendation from May 14, 2003. To be compliant with W3C recommendations, modern browsers must use these color specifications if you define your colors by their names. However, it's always safest to use the RGB definitions for your web colors.
Searching the W3C specifications for the definitions of named colors takes time. The Named Colors panel (see Figure 9) contains a set of more prevalent named colors, grouped by chromaticity (hue). Simply select the named color to get its hexadecimal RGB value.
Named Colors panel controls:
When the Color Palette panel is opened for the first time, a file called colors.xml gets generated that contains all the named colors. This allows you to modify the named colors list and create your own named colors for specific projects or to share among your team.
The colors.xml file can be found here:
I hope this information about how the new Color Palette command panel (v1.25) works improves your workflow in Fireworks CS3. A future version will hopefully include integration with kuler (from Adobe Labs), export and import different file formats that have color schemes, and also allow you to select and edit personal color schemes.
