INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Excel can filter the data in all selected cells within a range, as long as there are no completely blank rows or columns within the selected range. Once a blank row or column is encountered, filtering stops. If the data in the range you wish to filter is separated by blank rows or columns, remove them before proceeding with the AutoFilter. Conversely, if there is data on the worksheet that you do not want to be part of the filtered data, separate that data using one or more blank rows or blank columns. If the data you don't want to filter is located beneath the data to be filtered, use at least one completely blank row to end filtering. If the data you don't want to filter is located to the right of data to be filtered, use a completely blank column. It is also good practice to have column headings within the range of data being filtered. Drop-down arrows will appear at the top of each column range. If the range of cells contains column headings, the drop-down arrows will appear in the headings. Do one of the following: To filter the data by criteria, click to clear the "(Select All)" check box. All other check boxes will be cleared. Click to select the check boxes of the criteria that you want to appear in the filtered list. Click "OK" to filter the range by the selected criteria. To set up a number filter, click "Number Filters" and then click the desired comparison operator from the list that appears. The "Custom AutoFilter" dialog box appears. In the box to the right of the comparison operator selection, either select the desired number from the drop-down list box or type the desired value. To set up the number filter by more than one comparison operator, click either the "And" radio button to indicate that both criteria must be true, or click the "Or" radio button to indicate that at least 1 criterion must be true. Select the second comparison operator, and then select or type the desired value in the box to the right. Click "OK" to apply the number filter to the range. To filter the data by color-coded criteria, click "Filter by Color." Click the desired color from the "Filter by Font Color" list that appears. The data is filtered by the selected font color.

SUMMARY: Open the spreadsheet in which you want to filter data. Prepare your data for an Excel 2007 AutoFilter. Click any cell within the range that you would like to filter. Click the "Data" tab of the Microsoft Excel ribbon. Click "Filter" from the "Sort & Filter" group. Click the drop-down arrow of the column containing the desired criteria to be filtered.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The ideal metal pants style switches back and forth between baggy and tight depending on the time period. At this moment, tighter pants are more in style. Look for jeans or leather pants that are more form-fitting. Make sure the pants are still comfortable, though. Jeans that are too tight will make it hard to move around at concerts. Black pants are the most popular color, but normal blue or gray jeans are accepted too. A popular pants style for female metalheads is tight black jeans with rips. Don't opt for full-on skinny jeans, though. That was more of an early 2000s metal fashion trend and is outdated now. Metalheads don't always wear pants. If you find shorts more comfortable, feel free to wear them. The most popular shorts styles are black or other dark colors, or camouflage. Whether you wear baggy or tight shorts is a personal choice. Baggy shorts are a bit outdated but some people still prefer them. Tighter shorts that rest just above the knee are more popular now. Skirts are popular among female metalheads. Black is always the most popular color, but dark-colored plaids are common too. Look for red or dark blue mixed with black stripes. Also look for skirts with designs like skulls or crosses. A black leather skirt adds another layer of style to the outfit. Female metal fans often add black stockings when they wear a skirt. Metalheads don't put a lot of emphasis on footwear. Heavy black boots will give you a more classic look from the 1970s and 1980s. Sneakers are more common for comfort, and both men and women can wear them. Some metalheads like classic sneaker styles like Converse or Adidas. Newer name brands are fine too. Since a lot of metalheads like athletic-wear nowadays, running or basketball sneakers are common too. If you're into gothic fashion, black platform boots are a popular choice. Metal and gothic fashion are different from each other, but there is some crossover.
Summary: Wear tight jeans or leather pants. Get darkly-colored shorts for a more relaxed look. Find a black or dark plaid skirt for a feminine metalhead look. Buy comfortable footwear.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Place the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the ingredients until the mixture is fully combined and becomes light and fluffy. This should take about 3 or 4 minutes. Using softened butter should help the process along. If your butter is cold, you can soften it by microwaving it for about 15 seconds. Keep the mixer running and beat the batter until the eggs and vanilla are thoroughly incorporated. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda and oatmeal until the ingredients are completed mixed. Pour 1/3 of the dry mixture into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix on low (or stir by hand) until blended. Do the same with the next 1/3 of the bowl, and finish by mixing in the last 1/3. Don't mix the batter on high - do it slowly! This way you can make sure the cookies will come out light and delicious, rather than tough. Last but not least, stir in the 1 1/2 cups of raisins - again, make sure not to overmix. Use a cookie scoop, a small measuring cup or a tablespoon to scoop out the cookies onto a nonstick cookie sheet. Space them so that there are 2 inches (5.1cm) in between each cookie, since they'll spread as they bake. You'll end up with about 2 dozen cookies, so you may need to bake them using two separate sheets or one batch at a time. If you don't have a nonstick cookie sheet, grease the cookie sheet before scooping. You can also line your cookie sheet with parchment paper. Make the cookies bigger if you'd like! Use a 1/2 cup measuring cup to scoop out giant oatmeal cookies that will be soft in the middle and crispy around the edges. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for 10 - 12 minutes, until they're brown around the edges. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool.

SUMMARY:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Beat the butter and sugars. Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir in the raisins. Scoop out the cookies. Bake the cookies.
