Queen Latifah Movies
One of the most prominent female hip-hoppers of the 1990s thanks to her soulful and uplifting rhymes, Queen Latifah has also crafted an increasingly successful screen presence.
Born Dana Owens in Newark, NJ, on March 18, 1970, this police officer's daughter worked at Burger King before joining the group Ladies Fresh as a human beatbox. Disgusted at the misogynistic, male-dominated rap scene, Owens adapted the moniker of Queen Latifah (meaning delicate and sensitive in Arabic) and was soon on her way to changing the way many people looked at hip hop. Soon gaining a loyal following due to her unique perspective and role model-inspiring attitude, Latifah recorded the single "Wrath of My Madness" in 1988 and the following year she released her debut album, All Hail the Queen. Making her feature debut three short years later in Spike Lee's Jungle Fever, Latifah began refining a screen persona that would be equally adept in both drama and comedy. After starring as magazine editor Khadijah James on the FOX sitcom Living Single (1993-1998) and landing increasingly prominent film roles in Set It Off (1996), Living Out Loud (1998), and The Bone Collector (1999), she was given her own personal televised outlet in the form of The Queen Latifah Show in 1999. Losing her brother in a motorcycle accident in 1995 (she still wears the motorbike's key around her neck) in addition to grieving a friend who was shot when the two were carjacked the same year, Latifah has persisted in overcoming tragedy to remain positive and creative. The talented songstress has also appeared as both the Wicked Witch of the West (1998's The Wizard of Oz) and Glenda the Good (The O.Z. in 2002), in addition to remaining an innovative and inspiring recording artist. In 2003, Latifah hit a watershed moment in her career and in the public perception of her image: she signed to portray Matron Mama Morton in Rob Marshall's bold cinematization of the Bob Fosse musical Chicago. For Latifah, the turn embodied a breakthrough to end all breakthroughs - it dramatically reshaped the artist's image from that of a hip-hop singer turned actress to that of a multitalented, one-woman powerhouse with astonishing gifts in every arena of performance - voice, drama and dance. Latifah deservedly netted an Oscar nomination for this role, but lost to Catherine Zeta-Jones, who played Velma Kelly in the same film.
Later that same year, the multifaceted singer/actress took a dramatic step down in ambition and sophistication, joining Steve Martin for the odd couple comedy Bringing Down the House. That farce tells the occasionally rollicking story of a hyper-anal white lawyer (Martin) who attempts to "hook up" with a barrister he meets online, but discovers that she is (surprise!) actually a slang-tossing black prison escapee with a mad taste for hip hop dancing (Latifah). Ironically - given the seemingly foolproof and ingenious premise - the film collapsed, thanks in no small part to an awkward and craven screenplay that fails to see the logic of its situations through to fruition, and wraps with a ludicrous denouement. The film did score with viewers, despite devastating reviews from critics across the country. (If nothing else, the picture offers the uproarious sight of Martin in hip-hop attire, and does celebrate Latifah's everpresent message of much-deserved respect for black women).
Latifah's onscreen activity skyrocketed over the following half-decade, with an average of around 5-7 roles per year. One of her most popular efforts, Barbershop 2: Back in Business (2004), constitutes a sequel to the urban comedy-drama Barbershop (2002). The original picture (without Latifah in the cast) concerned the proprietors and patrons of a (mostly) all-black barbershop on the south side of Chicago, with seriocomic lead characters portrayed by Ice-T, Cedric the Entertainer and others. In the second Barbershop go-round, Latifah plays Gina, the owner of an inner-city beauty parlor who operates her business next door. Those films reached a combined total of around $143 million worldwide, thanks in no small part to a pitch-perfect demographic that flocked to both efforts without abandon. The pictures also generated a Latifah-dominated sequel, Beauty Shop (2005), devoted to the exploits of Gina, her customers, and her employees, particularly the flamboyantly gay stylist Jorge Christoph (Kevin Bacon). The movie expanded the target audience of its predecessors and upped the ante by working in WASPy female characters played by A-listers Andie MacDowell and Mena Suvari and having Gina move her shop to the more audience-friendly Atlanta. Though the picture failed to match the grosses of its predecessors, it did reel in just under $38 million worldwide. Each of the installments generated mixed reviews from critics,
Concurrent with Beauty Shop's release, Latifah signed on to collaborate with director Mark Forster and stars Will Ferrell and Emma Thompson in the comedy-fantasy Stranger than Fiction (2006). In that picture - about a man (Ferrell) who discovers he is the character in a book by a washed-up author (Thompson), and due to be killed shortly, Latifah plays Penny Escher, the "assistant" hired to end Thompson's creative block and put her back on track. Though Latifah's constituted a minor role (and, arguably, a throwaway at that), the film itself scored on all fronts, including craftsmanship, audience reactions, box office and critical response. After voicing Ellie in the CG-animated feature Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006), Latifah revisited cinematic song-and-dance (and reteamed with House director Adam Shankman) for the hotly-anticipated musical comedy Hairspray, based on the hit Broadway production (which was, in turn, based on the 1988 John Waters film). Latifah plays Motormouth Maybelle, in a cast that also includes Christopher Walken, Michelle Pfeiffer and an in-drag John Travolta, reprising the role originated by Divine.
Latifah signed to star alongside Diane Keaton and Katie Holmes in the crime comedy Mad Money -- a remake of the British farce Hot Money (with echoes of 1976's How to Beat the High Cost of Living) about a trio of female janitors in the Federal Reserve bank who team up to rob the place blind.
In addition to music, movies, and television, Latifah also found time to author a book on self-esteem entitled Ladies First: Revelations of a Strong Woman, and to serve as co-chairman of the Owens Scholarship Foundation, Inc., which provides assistance to academically gifted but financially underpriveleged students.

Two strangers (Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher) find themselves hitched after a wild night of Las Vegas shenanigans in this 20th Century Fox comedy. Jack Fuller (Kutcher) is a single Manhattanite who can never quite commit to a permanent, long-term relationship and repeatedly hears from his lovers that he "isn't serious boyfriend material." Employed by his father (Treat Williams) at a local furniture business, Jack spends his workdays goofing off by watching sporting events behind dad's back. Joy McNally (Diaz) is faring slightly better; a young, polished urbanite, she juggles a demanding job as a trader on the NYSE with a marital engagement to the impressive Mason (Jason Sudeikis), but has modified her entire life and all of her interests to please her intended.
Coincident with Mr. Fuller's decision to fire his son, Mason severs his engagement to Joy; as a result, both Jack and Joy hit the skids at around the same time and decide to cut their losses by heading out to Vegas. The two accidentally bump into one another when a computer mix-up at the hotel puts them in adjoining rooms; though they begin their acquaintanceship by bickering endlessly, they end up spending a long, drunken night on the town together, and when the sun rises and Joy comes to, she discovers that she unwittingly married Jack in the middle of the night. Alas, just when the two are about to call it quits by filing for divorce after the shortest marriage in history, Jack tosses a coin into a Vegas slot machine and hits a three-million-dollar jackpot -- which naturally pits the newlyweds against one another in an attempt to claim the full share of the money. A conservative local judge, R.D. Whopper (Dennis Miller), then adds the final twist by refusing to grant a divorce until Joy and Jack have given married life a fair shake. In time, the marrieds may just discover that this union isn't as far off the mark as they initially thought. Dennis Farina, Queen Latifah, and Zach Galifianakis round out the supporting cast. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

Gabrielle Union, Morris Chestnut, Queen Latifah, and Terrence Howard star in a film concerning a young girl who implores a department-store Santa to find a new husband for her divorced mother for Christmas. Single mother of three Nancy (Union) has been putting the needs of her three children ahead of her own for as far back as she can remember, and lately her youngest daughter, Emily (Khail Bryant), has become acutely aware of her mother's palpable sadness. As Christmas draws near, Nancy takes her kids to the mall for a cheerful visit with jolly old Saint Nick. When it comes time for Emily's turn to sit on Santa's lap and make her Christmas wish, she selflessly remembers her mother's recent comment that a compliment from a man would be the best gift of all. Determined to make her mother happy again even if it means sacrificing her own wish, Emily relays the message to Santa (Chestnut), not realizing that the man beneath the beard is actually an office-supply salesman and ambitious singer/songwriter named Benjamin. Recognizing the daughter's love for her mother and sensing something truly special in Nancy, Benjamin cheerfully obliges the young girl, setting into motion a series of events that promise to make this the most memorable holiday in quite some time.

Chris Rolle was born into poverty in the Bahamas and found himself forced to fend for himself as a child when he was abandoned by his mother. Rolle came to America in his teens but soon found himself homeless on the mean streets of Brooklyn, NY. Rolle had a natural talent as a rapper, and had the good fortune of meeting Scott K. Rosenberg, who was the founder of Art Start, an organization that brings arts education to New York City's underprivileged. Encouraged by his contacts at Art Start, Rolle began developing a potent reputation as rapper Kharma Kazi, and soon he came to realize he wanted to give back to the community that helped lift him out of poverty. With the help of Art Start, Rolle helped found The Hip Hop Project, a workshop for aspiring hip-hop artists. Instead of simply teaching aspiring rappers about rhyming techniques or microphone handling, Rolle and his crew urged them to use rap as a way to speak out about the issues they face in their daily lives rather than rhyming about violence, sex, bling, and the gangsta lifestyle. In time, hip-hop powerhouse Russell Simmons partnered up with movie star Bruce Willis to donate a recording studio to the group, thus enabling the musicians to record and release their own record, HHP Vol. 1: Are You Feelin' Me?, issued in May 2007. The Hip Hop Project is a documentary about Rolle and The Hip Hop Project crew that offers a behind-the-scenes look at their work and their impact on a group of young people eager to hone their musical skills. The film received its world premiere at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Harold Crick (Will Ferrell) lives a life of solitude. Kay Eiffel (Emma Thompson) can't seem to find a way to finish her latest book. Though Harold and Kay have never actually met, their fates are about to become intertwined in a most unusual manner.

Wage and Hour Division (WHD)
Press Releases
U.S. Department of Labor |
WEST COVINA, Calif. -- The U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division has ordered Super Center Concepts, doing business as Superior Super Warehouse, to pay $79,200 in penalties for violating child labor provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
Labor Department investigators found that the 32-store supermarket chain allowed minors to operate scrap paper balers, paper box compactors and power-driven hoisting apparatuses or forklifts. A total of 40 hazardous occupational violations were identified as occurring at the stores between March 2007 and March 2009. The employer has contested the civil money penalty assessment.
"Young workers can benefit from good work experiences, but they must work in a safe environment and not be involved in hazardous duties," said George Friday, western regional administrator of the Wage and Division.
The stores identified as having violations are located in Chino, Compton, Corona, Cudahy, Huntington Park, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Lynnwood, Montebello, North Hollywood, Ontario, Pacoima and Santa Ana, Calif.
The FLSA prohibits workers under the age of 18 from being employed in any nonagricultural occupations that the Labor Department has declared to be hazardous. Hazardous Occupations Order Number 12 prohibits individuals under age 18 from loading, operating and unloading certain power-driven paper processing machines, including scrap paper balers, paper box compactors, guillotine paper cutters or shears, platen printing presses and envelope die-cutting presses. The prohibitions concerning balers and compactors extend to equipment that processes other materials in addition to paper, such as trash, foam rubber, metal, food waste, plastic and fabric.
The investigation is part of the Wage and Hour Division's ongoing child labor outreach initiative to ensure that workers under age 18 have safe and rewarding work experiences. It was conducted by staff from the agency's East Los Angeles District Office.
For more information about the FLSA, youth employment, the jobs younger workers may perform and the hours they may work, call the division's East Los Angeles office at 626-966-0478 or its toll-free helpline at 866-4US-WAGE (487-9243). Information is also available on the Internet at http://www.wagehour.dol.gov.
U.S. Department of Labor releases are accessible on the Internet at www.dol.gov. The information in this news release will be made available in alternate format (large print, Braille, audio tape or disc) from the COAST office upon request. Please specify which news release when placing your request at (202) 693-7828 or TTY (202) 693-7755. The Labor Department is committed to providing America's employers and employees with easy access to understandable information on how to comply with its laws and regulations.

Workers dodge BART strike mess by telecommuting
Bay Area businesses impacted by BART strike
Rhetoric from unions to BART management heats up
BART workers on strike; no negotiations scheduled
BART strike triggers commuter chaos in Bay Area
Commuters turn to cars, buses for BART strike
Buses fill up at BART stations for morning commute
DearBART: Ferry rider gives opinions on strike
BART workers on strike after contract talks fail
BART strike imminent as talks stall
BART riders plan for rough commute
Some lucky workers avoided Friday's commute nightmare by plugging into the office remotely.
"You can see by the smile on my face I'm pretty excited that I don't have to deal with all the traffic nightmares today," said New Relic account executive Bill Anzo.
Anzo usually takes BART to downtown San Francisco to work at a tech startup. But his office for the duration of the strike is now the living room at his Danville home. Anzo works at New Relic, a startup software company that gave its BART commuters the option to avoid the inevitable gridlock the strike created.
"I actually, believe it or not, think I can be as productive because I'm still going to wake up at the same time," Anzo said. "The difference is instead of getting ready for my work day, getting into the car and going to BART, I'll just start working, making phone calls, using tools like I'm using right now to speak with you."
However, Anzo's boss, CEO Lewis Cirne, doesn't plan on working from home to be a long-term option.
"We focus on results," Cirne said. "And so, if it makes sense for somebody to work from home for whatever reason, we're certainly open to that idea. But let me be clear, we think that it's best when people are able to work closely together in the office." Technology from Santa Clara-based Citrix is making home work more feasible. While its GoToMeeting creates face-to-face conversations, it also enables file and screen sharing so up to 25 people can collaborate on projects.
"These products are very simple, easy to use, no training required," said Sampath Gomatam, Citrix Real-Time Collaboration Vice President. "It's all in the cloud, so you don't have to have implementations that take a long time."
The technology has boosted the number of people working at least once a week from home from 18 percent to 27 percent over the past two years.
Many other workers and businesses, however, do not have the option to work from home and are heavily impacted by a BART strike.
"Come Monday, it's going to be a mess," one person said.
Bahnu Bikram added, "I just end up sitting in traffic. People are not getting places."
Commuting is one problem. But getting your job done and making deliveries in muddled traffic is another.
"You're talking about over 400,000 people joining us on the streets," delivery truck driver Dave Cook said.
"I do expect my shift to go a little longer," delivery driver Andy Mondragon said. "Due to the traffic my shift, which is supposed to be six hours, will probably be extended to seven or eight."
Victoria Mitchell runs an organic food catering company. On Friday, a good portion of her staff never made it in.
"I think like 10 or 20 percent less," she said. "Maybe a little more."
"We're the ones suffering for it," Cook said. "Not the employees and not corporate."
How about those who serve the ones who suffer every day on the street? At St. Anthony's Friday morning, 25 percent of their volunteers failed to show up. Larry Miller did make it, but only by leaving the East Bay at 6 a.m. He says it took him an hour and 15 minutes to get there, as opposed to the usual 15 minutes.

2012 Mazda MAZDA5 User Reviews
- No trim specified for this review
- Pros
- Sporty, Comfy, Fun to drive
- Cons
- Could use a few more HP
Purchased As New
Bought our Mazda5 new in August. Just hit 3,000 miles. We didn't need another massive minivan and did not want overpriced, gas guzzling SUV/Crossover. Test drove this little beauty and drove it home the same day!
Perfect size for our family, very comfortable, peppy, and good on gas. It could have used about 10-20 more HP due to its added size and weight.
Definitely hooked on Mazda...Zoom Zoom!0 out of 0 people found this review helpful.

A pilot killed in a helicopter crash Wednesday morning, had been flying for San Joaquin Helicopters for several years.
Erik Josephson, Operations Manager of the company, says they contracted her out often to fly, and she loved doing it.
"It hurts. It hurts a lot," said Josephson. "She was energetic, always willing to get out there, always willing to go fly. And, she loved doing it and wanted to get in there and make it her life's work."
The woman pilot, we've learned, was in her 60's. She was returning to the Delano Airport, trying to escape the thick fog rolling in, when she crashed.
"She encountered what we believe was some fog and possibly became disoriented. We're not sure at this point in time," said Josephson.
Records show, she was flying a helicopter built in 1975. It's registered to Maricopa Helicopters out of Fresno. But, Josephson says his company was hired to operate and maintain it.
"Just use it like it's one of our aircraft and take care of it like it's one of ours," said Josephson.
17 News searched the National Transportation Safety Board database. It shows San Joaquin Helicopters' last fatal crash happened in Lancaster in 2005 during a chemical spray. Their report shows the engine lost power.
While the cause of Wednesday's crash is still unknown, the dangers of the job are even more evident.
"We remind everybody that this is for real for all of our mechanics, all of our pilots. You don't get to put another quarter in. So, everybody understands that," said Josephson.
Josephson did not know how long the female pilot had been flying. He did say she was not from the Delano area.

For the last three weeks, two films with female protagonists ("The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" and "Frozen") have been at the top of the box…
Born in 1945 in the shadow of Hiroshima, Ginger and Rosa grow up in a London of weary shortages of food, living space and cheer. Who could have guessed Swinging London and the Beatles were on the way? The girls become fast friends: Ginger, whose father Roland was a conscientious objector during World War II, and Rosa, whose father isn't in the picture.
Seen in intimate hand-held intimacy in "Ginger & Rosa," they smoke their first cigarettes, lighting two on a match, ironing their hair flat, soaking in a tub together to shrink their jeans. (Remember that probably apocryphal story about the hippie chick who fell asleep doing that during an LSD trip and woke up paralyzed?)
They're part of informal left-wing community group also including Ginger's mother, Natalie* (Christina Hendricks); May Bella (Annette Bening), a sparky leftist, and an avuncular gay couple both named Mark (Timothy Spall and Oliver Platt). Rosa is played by Alice Englert, daughter of the Australian director Jane Campion, and the film's tone is wonderfully maintained by Dakota Fanning's younger sister Elle as Ginger, convincingly playing 17 at the age of 13.
Fanning becomes completely swept up in the Ban the Bomb movement's marches, and in her youthful fatalism then becomes convinced the Earth is on the brink of nuclear annihilation. So it seemed to many. In 1962, in Urbana as in this London, we awaited doomsday pronouncements from the pacifist philosopher Lord Bertrand Russell. I recall a day that year when campus life stopped and everyone gathered around TV sets to see if Soviet weapons ships would turn back from JFK's deadlines.
Such matters are more passionate to Ginger than to Rosa. Ginger's dad, Roland, takes the girls for sails on his boat, and through its thin walls, Ginger is wounded to overhear conversations that can only suggest Roland has a personal interest in Rosa, who is her age but much more intrigued by the opposite sex.
Sally Potter has always been particularly absorbed by politically charged romances; remember her "Yes" (2005), about the relationship between a London politician's wife and a Lebanese doctor in exile. "Ginger & Rosa" tells two early-coming-of-age stories, one political, one emotional — with the father, Roland, showing the greater need for growth. It's a portrait of a time and place, characters keeping company around a simple kitchen table, and the helplessness adolescents feel when faced with the priorities of those in power. What I'll take away from it is the knowledge that now the Fannings have given us two actresses of such potential.

text: PublicationsInternational Activity Report 2002DR Congo: Quiet, We're DyingDisplacement, murder, rape and other violence, coupled with malnutrition, disease and the breakdown of the public health infrastructure: the hardship and suffering inflicted on the civilian population of the Democratic Republic of Congo as a result of their country's ongoing conflict is overwhelming. Yet to date their struggle to survive has been a silent one, under-reported and neglected by the international community. In order that their voices may be heard, MSF published two collections of personal stories by Congolese civilians in 2002. The stories below are taken from one of these: R D Congo: Silence, On Meurt – Témoignages [DR Congo: Quiet, We're Dying – Witness Accounts]. A second collection, The War Was Following Me: Ten Years of Conflict, Violence and Chaos in the Eastern DRC, which documents the experiences of MSF national staff as well as patients, is available in 2 parts: Part 1 and Part 2. Isidore B., a nurse, recounts how, given its isolation and the insecure environment, the health center where she works, which has just been looted, has decided to transfer its patients to another hospital. As many patients cannot afford the combined costs of transport, nursing and food, they have resigned themselves to remaining behind (Equateur province). "Our health center is supported by MSF, but we are facing security problems and there are transport difficulties in delivering medicines to us from the health zone. Because of the insecurity, we are no longer supervised by our medical officer who last visited us in May 2000. And we ran out of medicines in April 2001. A. Ambuga, a widow, has lost three of her five children to dysentery and malnutrition (Equateur province). "We were living in a small village, hunting and working in the fields. One day, my husband, not knowing that Basankusu had already been occupied by the rebels, went hunting just where FAC soldiers [Congolese army] were hiding and taking up defensive positions. They arrested him and threw him into a hole [prison], where he was kept for a day with nothing to drink or eat. Nobody in the village knew what had happened to him and we began to get worried. We decided to go and look for him making lots of noise on gongs, tam-tams and trumpets so that he would hear the instruments and find us. In fact, we met him about 15km from the village because it was God's will that the soldiers let him go. Césarie, displaced by the fighting, lost six of her eight children to malnutrition during the war (Nord-Kivu province). I have been displaced since 1993, when the interethnic war broke out in the region and we had to flee. As malaria is endemic in the first town we reached, we had to move on after six months. Now, I am living here, but still in an unsafe environment with frequent attacks by the Interhamwe. The last attack was three months ago when they burned our houses. All my belongings have been looted several times.

Superior man could escape felony conviction
A Superior man who shot a 12-year-old with a BB gun will have a chance to escape a felony conviction.By: Superior Telegram, Superior Telegram
A Superior man who shot a 12-year-old with a BB gun will have a chance to escape a felony conviction.
John Jeffrey Doolittle, 33, pleaded no contest in Douglas County Circuit Court on Feb. 1 to one count felony physical abuse of a child-intentionally cause bodily harm and misdemeanor child neglect, disorderly conduct and bail jumping. Additional counts of disorderly conduct, bail jumping and strangulation were dismissed.
Doolittle was sentenced to two years of probation for the disorderly conduct and child neglect charges. He also was ordered to undergo a chemical dependency evaluation, join a domestic violence group, maintain absolute sobriety, submit to random urinalysis and only have agent-approved contact with the victim.
He also was sentenced to 60 days in jail for the bail jumping charge.
A deferred judgment of conviction agreement was entered on the abuse charge. If Doolittle successfully completes probation, pays court costs of $245 and does not break any other laws for two years, the charge would be amended to misdemeanor battery with a 30-day concurrent jail sentence. Any alcohol or substance abuse violations, however, could be grounds for cancelling the agreement.
According to the criminal complaints:
Doolittle shot a 12-year-old with a BB gun on June 5 because the child refused to do the dishes. Six months later, the Superior man was found sleeping in his apartment while his two young children were in the hallway screaming and crying because they couldn't wake him up. Beer cans were found in the trash just inside the door and an odor of intoxicants was coming from Doolittle.
As a condition of his bail in the child abuse case, the Superior man was ordered not to possess or consume any alcohol.

Hang tight!
Recipe by MN Nice
"This bread is probably the best thing I make. Just finished making it and half a loaf is gone already while it was cooling. Using the bread machine to make the dough makes it so easy!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1/4 cup butter
4 cups bread flour
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons softened butter, divided
2 teaspoons sifted confectioners' sugar, divided (optional)
OH MY GOODNESS! I cut the recipe in half as I only had one loaf pan. I will be buying another! As Hubby cannot have nuts any more, I replaced the walnuts with raisins that I plumped. He also requested icing on top; so, I used the recipe from Clone of a Cinnabon. Absolutely delicious. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY! Thank you MN Nice for sharing your recipe!!
This is good. I coulding get the bread to go in 9x14 rectangles, so the swirl was more like a blobs but the two loafs did go fast. Will make again.

This cinnamon bread is excellent. I followed the recipe ingredients but made rolls instead of a loaf and added raisins. I LOVE the filling so I doubled the ingredients to satisfy my sweet tooth and I'm glad I did because to my liking there was barely enough to cover both rectangles. I added 1 cup Thomson raisins, soaked for 30 min. in 1/4 cup brandy with a 1/4 tsp sugar sprinkled over them (kills the bitterness) stirring a few times to coat them evenly. The dough is great to work with and not sticky at all. When I sprinkled the raisins over the sugar mix I put a sheet of wax paper to cover it and ran the rolling pin over it lightly a few times to press the mixture into the dough (makes rolling it up easier and less filling leaks out). I rolled it up from the long end and sliced it into 1" pieces and popped them into Pam-sprayed muffin tins. I always brush my rolls with soft butter and sprinkle a little brown sugar over them, about 1/8 tsp on each (to keep some yummy, gooey syrup on the tops). It only took 15 min to turn golden with syrup spread over the tops.Even though I doubled the filling very little of it leaked out. I lifted each to a rack and while still warm I drizzled the tops with basic milk/icing sugar glaze. When they cooled I drizzled a 2nd layer of glaze over the tops as it will not soak into the roll and disappear. Then I ate 4 of them! My goodness, this beautiful bread makes accidental rolls a great mistake. Thank you MN Nice for sharing.
Stellar! I didn't have walnuts, and kids don't like them anyway. I just used the cinnamon/sugar mixture and it was still fantastic.
Awesome recipe for cinnamon swirl bread. Besides being fun to make these loaves were absolutely delicious! I opted to use raisins instead of nuts. I shall use nuts next time, as I will definitely be making this bread on a regular basis! Thank You for such a wonderful recipe! Yummy stuff!
Easy and tasty
This recipe is awesome ! I'm new to baking bread but this was easy, came out great and tasted awesome.
This made two wonderful loaves of goodness. Next time I will roll the dough tighter, as my bread was rather holey, but this did not affect the flavor or the amount of time it took for the bread to be devoured! A definite keeper!

Plan: HHF-6564During our summer travels to Italy we met an artist who painted portraits by day and in the evenings she would paint landscapes to display in a nearby art gallery. Since my mother continually searched for a new painting each summer she came upon a beautiful scene of a villa the artist grew up in. The Gabriella design is named after her because it is reminiscent of her work and spectacular use of rich color.

Update: cap and trade
Update: cap and trade
Ed Orcutt
State Representative, 18th District
The governor's cap and trade proposal, House Bill 1819, passed the House Ecology and Parks Committee this week. Here are a couple things that I like to keep in mind as I talk to my colleagues about why we don't need this job-killing legislation:
* Washington is one of the lowest producers of CO2 in the nation with only three-tenths of one percent of global emissions. Of that total amount, a majority of our emissions are due to automobiles on the highways. Trying to place punitive and costly restrictions on manufacturing and energy-producing businesses makes no sense.
* It would take just 50 days for China's growth in CO2 emissions to equal Washington's emission for an entire year.
* Now is not the time to add costs and burdens to Washington businesses. Doing so will force companies out of business or to move to other states.

For the first time in four years, satisfaction with conversion has increased.
90% of companies now claim that CRO has increased in importance, with 59% claiming it's crucial to their marketing strategy.
These findings come from our fifth annual Conversion Rate Optimisation Report, produced in association with RedEye.
The aim of this report is to provide data and a framework to help companies invest their time and resources as effectively as possible, by examining which methods and processes are most likely to yield results.
For a brief overview, RedEye has produced this infographic…

Over a quarter (28%) of companies are satisfied with their conversion rates (either 'very' or 'quite' satisfied), up by 6% since 2012 and the highest level since 2009.
Addtionally, around three-quarters (73%, up from 65% in 2012) indicate they have seen an improvement in conversion rates in the last 12 months
The fifth annual Conversion Rate Optimization Report, produced in association with RedEye, also found that the proportion of organisations who say they experienced an increase in sales conversion rates has significantly gone up, from 60% in 2012 to 70% this year.
The research, based on a survey of almost 1,000 client-side and agency digital marketers, revealed that A/B and multivariate testing, using multiple methods to improve conversion and having a structured approach are among the seven factors most correlated with improved conversion and sales...

In case you're a few years behind the times, you will be aware that Obama's re-election campaign was a success.
But what is less well known is the detail of the testing process behind the email strategy that helped to raise more than $500m in online donations.
At Searchlove this morning Obama's director of digital analytics Amelia Showalter gave an insight into the A/B tests that optimised the campaign's fundraising emails and the lessons that the digital team learned as a result.
Showalter said that in a tightly fought election Obama's campaign team knew they would have to top the $750m raised in 2008.

Providing tailored product recommendations is a proven way of boosting online sales, with two-thirds of companies (66%) stating that personalisation improves both customer experience and business performance.
Speaking at a Screen Pages ecommerce event recently, Emailvision personalisation director Neil Hamilton ran through some best practice tips for how to create effective homepage product recommendation banners.
The effectiveness of these blocks can be improved using personalisation, whereby the products shown are specifically tailored to the customer based on their past on-site behaviour.
Our new Realities of Personalisation Report, published in association with Monetate, found that just 30% of businesses currently personalise their websites based on a visitor's previous behaviour, so a majority of businesses are yet to implement the technology.

A/B/n and multivariate testing is one of the most important CRO (conversion rate optimisation) activities for continually improving your website, and yet for some it can be difficult to get started with.
In this post I'll share three frequently asked questions we hear time and time again from our clients when just starting out with A/B and multivariate testing.
by Chris Gibbins 04 April 2013 10:26am 2 comments
Are your landing page or product page images big enough to get the best conversion rate that you can get? We've seen a wide variety of marketers testing image size these days, including B2B, ecommerce and media sites.
I'm not talking about allowing your visitors to click to enlarge images. I'm talking about blowing up the size of your hero shot (the most important image on your page) so it's much, much bigger.
Here are three examples from very different marketers to inspire you.
Be sure to share them with your design and testing team.

User testing is an integral part of web design as it gives impartial and quantifiable insights into the customer's experience.
As discussed at our recent JUMP multichannel event, usability testing removes any ego or opinion from product design which helps improve customer satisfaction and ultimately increase revenue and growth.
There are a number of different methodologies for user testing, including A/B or multivariate tests, heatmapping, or videos of real customer journeys.
As these case studies show, each different methodology can identify small changes that lead to massive increases in CTR, conversions and sales.
For more information on this topic, checkout our new Conversion Rate Optimization Report 2012 in association with RedEye.
The research looks at tools, strategies and processes employed for improving conversion rates, as well as examining different areas of best practice.

Making money providing a free online service is still the sexiest option for many entrepreneurs and business owners, but generating revenue by charging users is increasingly sexy too.
As such, it's no surprise that in recent years many companies have sought the best of both worlds through the so-called 'freemium' model.

Incidental beneficiary
An incidental beneficiary is a third party who benefits from a contract between two other parties, but it is not intended that the third party benefit. Therefore, the third party does not have any legal rights under the contract.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
Someone who benefits as the result of a contract or trust but is not a direct, intended beneficiary. For example, a neighbor might benefit from a homeowner's contract with a tree service, and children might benefit if their parent receives distributions from a trust.Compare: third-party beneficiary
