Alphabet/ Die Cut/ Punches Database
eek: Nobody panic... this is not a SWAP SIGN UP!!! Everyone relax and breathe!!
Clarification of our goal with the Alphabet/Die Cut/ Punches Database…
This is an on-going list of swappers/scrappers willing to share their goodies with other swapper/scrappers!! I'd be willing to start the list and keep contact information going so that our Swap Goddess isn't overwhelmed with this too..
I will make and keep the master list of those interested and check in with them every few months to make sure they still want to be involved. One section will be dedicated to Alphabets (sizzix, quick cut, sizzlets, wish blade, etc) and the other will be to die cuts.
How it works:
If you are needing an item.. you will contact that individual directly and send them enough paper, postage, and instructions (like you want every other letter or something a different color or you want the file folder a certain way on striped paper).. This will allow the one who has the die cut/ alphabet to let you know they can do it ...and how long of a turn around you will have... This contact will also allow the person responsible for the die cut to let you know if you need to send whole sheets of paper or if they would prefer to have them cut into stripes or such.
For instance..
I have the lollipop sizzix uppercase set... and if someone wants a title or name cut out.. They would contact me.. let me know what they are after and I would let them know I could or couldn't do it..and what the turn around time would be. They would send me the paper, the word(s) and I would cut it out and send everything back. The requestee of the word(s) is responsible for postage to and from, which should be 39 cents or just a little more.. .
If there is interest.. give me your name and alphabet set OR die cuts !
ETA: I'm not jumping off the wagon.. this is something we could do year round for one another!!

I think this is a great idea, but I do not have a sizzix set.

So, if I want say, 13 file folders, and 13 of the words "Fire Safety" in the playground font; I send enough paper and postage to B&MB and enough paper and postage to 15min 'cause you are going to send me their addresses? Or I send it all on to you and you send to each person?

You send it to the person who has the die cuts. I think Nancy is just the keeper of the list.
ETA, Nan I would change the title of your thread to something like die cut database and ask lewdyan for a sticky.

I'm trying to work out that kink...
I think it might be easier if you contact them directly and let them know what you want and they can tell you yeah or nay..
My "job" would be to keep the list up todate on who is still willing to help and provide their services and what each of us can provide.
Yes, I will Buffy.. Thank you!!!

Hearth of the home
A traditional open fire or radiator? And what boiler is best for my needs? Deciding how to warm your house will not only make a difference to the bills, but also to how it looks.
There's no denying we're firmly in the throes of winter now, so if your household heating isn't up to scratch, it's time to do something about it. From standard radiators to romantic log fires and everything in between, read on to find out how you can safeguard your home against the biting cold outside. And, taking our guest editor's advice on board, we've checked the ins and outs of boilers to keep you in the know.
For giving your room a main attraction – a rustic one at that – fireplaces win hands down every time. From traditional wood burners to contemporary gas and electric appliances, suppliers are continuing to showcase a range of fireplaces in everything from antique and wood to mantle. The designs are practical as well as stylish. Key things to consider are the wood – oak and ash are the best burners, but stay well away from pine due to the sparks – and ventilation. Coal needs a good flow of air under it, so the hearth needs to remain ash-free. Chimneys, vented gas logs and top-venting pipes are all recommended to ensure a healthy airflow for gas fireplaces.
Wood-burning stoves
It is estimated that a wood-burning stove can save the average family household at least £400 a year in heating bills. However, many wood burners are actually powered by electricity, gas or fuel. Connected to a chimney, stoves work by burning fuel in a closed fire chamber. For eco-conscious home dwellers, actual wood is a good way of using renewable sources of energy and keeping bills down. But where wood isn't a viable option for many people, the flames produced by gas or electricity give an authentic illusion, while giving out plenty of heat.
Switch fuel
Choosing the type of fuel to power your home heating system can be more complex than first perceived – especially for off-mains rural dwellers. Switching from well-known fossil fuels to refined energy boosts green credentials without sacrificing the comfort of your family. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), in particular, gives off the reduced carbon emissions and doesn't pose any ground or water pollution hazards. To heat your home the eco way this winter, contact Calor, LPG'S leading supplier, for more information. www.calor.co.uk/switch
Boiler basics
Though your boiler may be tucked away in your airing cupboard, simply understanding how it operates is key to ensuring you make the most of yours. 'If you get your head around how they work, then you can see why one would work in your home better than another,' Sarah Beeny notes, while reminiscing about ensuring piping hot water with great pressure is in all rooms in Rise Hall, her East Riding mansion which she is renovating with her husband Graham.
Traditional open-vent boilers
The most popular system. Fed by two open water tanks tucked up in the loft, the boiler also requires a hot-water storage cylinder, usually stored in the airing cupboard. One tank takes water from the mains and feeds the cylinder which, when heated by the boiler, supplies hot water to your taps. For the central heating, a pump outside the boiler is used to send water to the radiators. The second tank helps maintain the level of water in the heating system and allows for expansion of water in either tank when it gets hot.
Pros You can put the washing machine on or run the kitchen tap while someone is in the shower, without the water running cold. Though once the cylinder goes cold, it will take time to reheat.
Cons With two tanks and a storage cylinder, you need a lot of space.
System boilers
It works on the principle of stored hot water, which means you'll need an airing cupboard or other space for the hot water storage tank. The pump is an integral part of the boiler, which also has an expansion vessel to replace the cold tanks.
Pros You can run hot water from a range of outlets simultaneously, making them a good choice for a larger home, or a family who wants to keep loft space free.
Cons You'll need an airing cupboard for the tank and they can be costly to install.
Combination boilers
Also known as combi boilers, these have no tanks at all, so there is no storage cylinder to heat first and no tanks to find room for. Instead, they heat water for central heating and the hot taps, as you need it. The central heating portion of a combi is on a pressurised closed loop system, heated by the boiler as required. The hot water for a bath or shower is fed from the mains supply direct to the boiler.
Pros You get a constant supply of hot water at mains pressure, with no issue of a water tank to refill.
Cons If more than one tap is running, the water pressure can fall. High-capacity combination boilers overcome this problem. They give priority to the hot water system, so if the hot water tap is running, your radiators won't heat up immediately.
Available in steel, chrome, aluminium, cast iron and even glass – not to mention a vast colour spectrum – radiators are a far cry from those functional white blocks and many can be described as a work of wall art in their own right. Mainstream home suppliers stock alternatives to the chic numbers for discounts, so you needn't worry about your budget when buying your chosen wallpiece. Installing thermostatic valves on each individual radiator will maximise the efficiency of your central heating system, and up your eco credentials at the same time. They work by sensing the air temperature in the room and adjusting the heat accordingly, saving money and cutting CO2 emissions by up to 17%.
Underfloor heating
Unlike wall-mounted radiators, underfloor heating systems provide warmth to a room from the floor upwards. Both electric and water-based underfloor heating systems are available, and there are systems to match stone, hardwood, laminate, lino, and even carpet flooring. Wet systems have proven to be 30% more energy efficient than dry ones, so do your research before treating your toes to a toasty winter.

A fire at the Citgo oil refinery in southwest suburban Lemont late Wednesday sent flames shooting high into the night sky, sparked concern among citizens — but caused no injuries.
The fire started about 7:40 p.m. in the refinery's crude oil unit, which was immediately shut down, according to a statement issued by Citgo spokesman Pete Colarelli.
"I know there was a lot of work being done at the refinery, something sparked, which caused the fire," Lemont Mayor Brian Reaves said.
Citgo's own fire department and firefighters from local suburban departments helped bring the fire under control, Colarelli said in the statement issued just after 10 p.m.
There were no injuries or evacuations, Colarelli said. The refinery is conducting air monitoring.
"The safety of our employees and the surrounding community remains our first priority." he said.
All employees have been accounted for, Lemont's Reaves said. Reaves said he and other Lemont trustees and former Lemont mayors had been fielding calls from concerned citizens.
"I got an 'all clear message' from the fire department at 9:45 p.m. Anything on the ground right now is small fires, hot spots," said Reaves, who'd been in touch with the Ctigo fire chief.
The vast refinery operation covers land in Lemont, unincorporated areas nearby and parts of Romeoville.
The area around the refinery is not heavily populated, Reaves said.
When asked if the refinery has been a good neighbor to the citizens of Lemont, he responded: "Absolutely."

A wine with wonderfully fresh and perfumed aromas with crushed flowers and berries. Full body, with super integrated tannins and a silky textured finish. This is refined and very pretty. Better than 2009. Drink or hold.
(2/ 2013)
All structure and tannin over the austere black fruits. The wine at this stage is powered by its texture rather than the fruit.
(6/ 2011)
A beautiful effort from Chasse-Spleen, this dense purple wine exhibits plenty of black currant and black cherry fruit with some licorice, roasted herbs and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied and supple, the final blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot has produced a fleshy, succulent style of Chasse-Spleen to drink over the next 15+ years.
(2/ 2013)
Very supple and refined, with a crumpled velvet feel to the smoldering bay, tobacco and mulled spice hints surrounding the core of steeped plum and blackberry fruit. Flashes of cedar and sandalwood hang through the fine-grained finish. Rustic and lovely. Drink now through 2017.

An outdoor Living Room has been carved out in the lower yard with ambient lighting setting the mood for romantic dinners under the stars. Nestle into the large sectional sofa that surrounds the gas fire table in the center of this charming oasis. Behind giant bamboo and tobacco plants, a "zen garden" is tucked quietly away for private meditation or a nap under the shady canopy.
In the Main House, walls of glass allow the beauty of the outdoors to meld with the comfortable interior. The sunken Living Room with fireplace feels cradled in the massive branches of the century old oaks. Through glass doors, a deck offers intimate dining at a round table for 4.

The Formal Dining Room with seating for 8 guests is a great central location between the Living Room and Kitchen, allowing guests to mingle and stay connected to activity throughout the open floor plan.
Slip into the spacious Master Suite and disappear into this private haven. The high quality bed, the moon peeking through the oak branches, and quiet breezes through glass doors to the deck is the magic combination for a perfect night's sleep.
Marble and glass meet design and function in the Master Bathroom. A large open shower with drenching rain head, dual sinks and a purely simple but elegant soaking tub create a space to linger.
The two Guest Bedrooms are relaxed yet luxurious with fine linens, and each has an outside entrance for easy access to the surrounding grounds.

New Standards for Towers Near Historic Sites
According to a new fact sheet to be issued by the FCC, broadcasters who propose to locate their antennas on new towers near historic sites will face greater scrutiny to determine the environmental impact of their towers.
The proliferation of wireless towers has drawn the ire of the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers (NCSHPO), which sees the recent rapid increase in towers as a threat to historic sites. With their consciousness raised, NCSHPO and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) signed an agreement with the FCC on March 16, 2001 to protect historic sites from encroaching towers. The new fact sheet, which is available at www.fcc.gov/mmb/mmb_siting.html, embodies this agreement.
The agreement encourages collocation on existing towers, buildings and other structures, striving to protect historic properties while reducing the need for new towers. However, the agreement — which is peppered with references to the wireless communications facilities that inspired it — is ambiguous as to its applicability to broadcasters. The fact sheet, released jointly by the FCC's Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and Media Bureau, clarifies that broadcasters are indeed covered. In fact, broadcasters may face serious sanctions, such as fines, if they locate on a structure that does not adhere to the agreement.
The terms of the agreement are straightforward. Commission licensees and applicants must comply with National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) procedures for facilities that may affect sites that are listed or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. If a broadcaster's antenna is located on a tower, building or other structure constructed on or before March 16, 2001, the broadcaster likely falls under the agreement's grandfathering clause and will not need new review under the NHPA, except under enumerated special circumstances.
But if a broadcaster is located on a tower, building or structure built after March 16, 2001, it must ensure that the tower has passed muster under the NHPA and has documentation to prove it. Collocation on a new tower will still require review if: (a) the NHPA analysis is not yet complete; (b) the FCC has determined that the collocation has a continuing adverse effect on an historic property; (c) a complaint against the collocation's impact on an historic property is before the FCC; or (d) the collocation will result in a substantial increase in the size of the tower.
Broadcasters who locate on new towers that were built after March 16, 2001 but which have not undergone historic review may face sanctions. To avoid this fate, broadcasters should check with the relevant State Historic Preservation Officer before putting their antennas on a "new" tower. Also, broadcasters leasing space on "new" (i.e., post-March 16, 2001) towers might also consider insisting on a clear provision in their lease agreements requiring the tower owner to demonstrate and maintain its compliance with NHPA.
Independent reviews by the FCC, ACHP and NCSHPO of the impact of collocations on historic sites have been infamously cumbersome, often resulting in long construction delays. The NCSHPO/ACHP/FCC agreement is intended to streamline that process. The fact sheet, in turn, provides guidance to broadcasters on how to satisfy NHPD requirements and speed review of requests to collocate on new towers. Additionally, the ACHP has organized a telecom working group to streamline historic preservation siting requirements and create a model that individual states may use to speed their own reviews of the impact of communications antenna and related infrastructure on historic sites.
EEO update
In January, the Supreme Court declined to consider an appeal of a decision by the federal appeals court in Washington, holding that the FCC's former equal employment opportunity rules were unlawful. The Supreme Court's decision is the end of the line for the Commission's old EEO rules, which had been adopted in 2000.
|No biennial ownership reports are due in 2002. However, new permittees, new licensees as well as parties acquiring stations are required to file ownership reports within 30 days after approval of a construction permit, the filing of an initial license application or the consummation of a transfer or assignment.

A paralyzing health condition didn't keep a 19-year-old Hickory resident from giving to others.
Amber Stewart, who has spinal muscular atrophy since birth, decided she wanted to help children by giving them Christmas presents they might not otherwise receive. Her project started off with the idea to give to patients at Brenner Children's Hospital in Winston-Salem, but plans changed. Catawba County Department of Social Services became the recipients of Stewart's gifts.
The Hickory woman charged for obstructing the investigation into her stepdaughter's disappearance had her case continued in court Friday.
Elisa Baker, 42, of Hickory, was scheduled to appear in Catawba County District Court on Friday for four worthless check charges unrelated to the disappearance and death of her stepdaughter, Zahra Baker.
The case against Elisa Baker was continued to April 22, but she didn't appear Friday in court. Her attorney, Scott Reilly, appeared in her place.
A homeowner took matters into his own hands Friday when a thief attempted to rob his home.
A suspect entered a home on East Maiden Road on Friday about 1 p.m. in an apparent attempted larceny, said Catawba County Sheriff's Office Lt. Joel Fish.
The suspect, upon entering the house, saw the homeowner was still in the residence and didn't continue the larceny attempt.
Fish said the homeowner saw the intruder and thought the attempted thief had a gun. As the intruder left the residence, the homeowner grabbed a gun and fired several shots into the intruder's car.
An area high school honored diversity in the classroom Friday with a celebration of dancing, food and crafts.
Students visited most of the world's continents and tasted unique food, without having to leave school grounds or step on a plane.
Newton-Conover High School held its fourth culture fair Friday in the school's gymnasium, where students learned about the different nationalities represented by their classmates.
"Every flag and country you see (at the fair) is represented by someone in this school," said NCHS teacher Melanie White.
Area law enforcement agencies reported minor collisions Thursday, with the vast majority of those crashes from weather-related factors.
North Carolina Highway Patrol was overwhelmed with casework after the county's winter weather Thursday morning. Highway Patrol reported more than 300 crashes Thursday.
Hickory Police Department reported several weather-related collisions Thursday morning on Tate Boulevard.
"We had a fist full of accidents," said HPD Capt. Gary Lee. "In one way or another, they were all weather related."
The future of Catawba Valley Medical Center rests on a black-top parking lot beside the hospital's current facilities.
In about two years, however, that parking lot will be a $32-million, state-of-the-art women's and oncology pavilion.
Community leaders, the hospital's staff and its board of directors gathered in the parking lot Thursday for a groundbreaking ceremony on the five-level pavilion, which is set for completion in 2013.
Tony Rose, CVMC president and CEO, spoke with the crowd of people, who were huddled under a tent in anticipation of rain.
Canceling school is a tougher decision than most people think, especially when superintendents consider the state-mandated calendar.
Catawba County schools were canceled Thursday after roads were deemed hazardous after winter weather hit the area. Superintendents and officials from county school systems toured the county at 4 a.m. to determine road conditions and ultimately choosing to cancel schools. The decision of when to make-up the day lost is hard to consider.
When students perform poorly in math or reading, teachers help children re-learn the proper techniques.
When students misbehave, however, they don't receive positive reinforcement -- they're punished.
Area educators discussed this disconnect in behavioral education Tuesday during a Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support (PBIS) workshop at Conover School.
An attorney filed an amendment Wednesday requesting additional warrants in the Zahra Baker case be unsealed for the public eye.
Attorney Amanda Martin, who represents several area media outlets, amended a motion filed Tuesday to include four additional sealing orders related to the case.
A North Carolina Highway Patrol trooper charged an investigator in the Zahra Baker case with driving while impaired.
Robert Joseph Falowski, 42, of Claremont, was charged Dec. 4 with driving while impaired, failure to report an accident and failure to maintain lane control.
Falowski's name appears on a Hickory Police Department warrant to search Zahra Baker's former residence, located at 21 21st Ave. NW in Hickory.
The warrant includes information about how Zahra Baker's stepmother

Goodness! What fun and we were working too. I jumped in the Blazer early this am and hightailed it to Western Springs, Il to meet Aaron to work on our blog article and our talk for Internet Librarian 2004.
We are speaking as part of a two part session on Instant Messaging and its use in library settings. I'm tickled to be doing this!
We started at Panera in LaGrange, dined at Chipotle and finished up at Aaron's library, Thomas Ford Memorial. As we totally geeked out with our two 17" PowerBooks -- co-editing a document with Apple's Rendezvous & SubEthaEdit, building PPT Slides and bluetoothing Apple mailboxes and other files -- he said: "We are two peas in a pod with these Macs..."
Yes indeed!

Bison Baseball Adds Eight
November 14, 2012
North Dakota State University head baseball coach Tod Brown announced the addition of two transfers and six high school players on the first day of the early signing period Wednesday, Nov. 14. The group includes two pitchers, two catchers, two infielders, a first baseman and an outfielder.
Left-handed pitcher Jared Dettmann (Somerset, Wis.); catcher Zach Horn (Richfield, Minn.); first baseman Luke Lind (Eden Prairie, Minn.); outfielder Ben Petersen (Lino Lakes, Minn.); right-handed pitcher Reed Pfannenstein (St. Cloud, Minn.); and infielder Logan Swann (Morgan, Minn.) signed National Letters of Intent to continue their education and play baseball at NDSU.
In addition, catcher Danny Palmiscno (Grand Forks, N.D.) and infielder Jeron Terres (Cold Spring, Minn.) have been accepted for admission at North Dakota State and will join the Bison baseball team.
Dettmann, 6-foot-3, 190 pounds, was a 46th round draft pick of the Minnesota Twins out of Somerset High School in 2011. He went 2-1 with a 5.76 ERA in seven appearances including five starts for Connecticut as a freshman last spring and is currently attending Century College in White Bear Lake, Minn. He was the 2011 St. Paul Pioneer Press Player of the Year.
Horn, 6-foot-1, 195 pounds, is a left-handed hitting catcher at Century College where he hit .345 with five doubles and 18 RBIs in 38 games last spring and threw out 18 of 30 opposing base stealers. He hit .437 with 20 doubles and 29 RBIs his senior year at Bloomington Kennedy High School.
Lind, 6-foot-5, 220 pounds, is a left-handed hitter and right-handed first baseman who led the Eden Prairie American Legion team to a runner-up finish at last year's Central Plains Regional in Dickinson, N.D., with a .462 batting average in five games. He clubbed 12 home runs and was 6-1 on the mound for Eden Prairie High School, which placed third at state last spring.
Petersen, 6-foot-1, 200 pounds, is a right-handed hitting outfielder at Totino-Grace High School in Fridley, Minn. He was an all-conference and all-section performer for the Eagles, who finished 16-9-1 with an appearance in the Minnesota Class 3A state quarterfinals.
Pfannenstein, 6-foot-4, 205 pounds, was 5-1 with a 2.12 ERA and 30 strikeouts in 29 2/3 innings last year for Rocori High School, where he is teammates with Terres, a 6-foot-2, 170 pound infielder. Terres hit .303 with 12 RBIs in 24 games last year. His brother, Sean Terres, is a freshman on the NDSU baseball team.
Swann, 5-foot-11, 180 pounds, has been a two-year starting shortstop at Redwood Valley High School in Redwood Falls, Minn., where he was all-conference and all-section his sophomore year.
Palmiscno, 5-foot-10, 170 pounds, hit .322 last year for Red River High School and .326 in American Legion baseball for the Grand Forks Royals, where he threw out 72 percent of opposing base stealers.
North Dakota State set a school record for wins finishing 40-20 last year and advancing to the championship game of the Summit League tournament after placing third in the league with a 14-10 record. The Bison open the 2013 season Feb. 15-17 at Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

It's work fine here
Thanks for your support
If you like my Joomla apps, please help support them with a review here:
Thank you!
Ahhhh just remember something,
I think you need to change a setting in your php.ini
Because this module is over 2mb, some server have the upload_limit set to 2mb, this is why you cannot install it, because the file is not on your server.
You can change the setting in the php.ini
upload_max_filesize = 10M
or upload the zip to your server with FTP and use the second or third option to install it (Install from Directory or Install from URL)
Let me know

Screenshots of InstantStorm
InstantStorm Editor's Review'InstantStorm' is a small screen saver maker. The difference with this screen saver maker is that it makes a screen saver out of a Flash movie. This program is among the best free software I've seen.
Among other things, you can create your very own 'About' box with the 'About box designer'. Nevertheless, the most interesting seems to be the 'Installation designer'. Here you can modify the images that will appear during the installation and even the text displayed each step of the installation. This is useful, if you want to create an installer in a different language.
The user interface is very well structured and every action of this program is created with useful wizards.
Pluses: Very easy-to-use. The five-step wizard helps you complete your work in no time. It offers many features and it's free.
Drawbacks / flaws:
In conclusion: I like it and I recommend you to test this program. I was impressed. I look forward for the next release and I hope it will have more features.

Review: Baan Pakgasri Hideaway, Ko Lanta
What lures so many beach bums to Ko Lanta is the opportunity to have paradise all to yourself. With just nine bungalows smack dab on the sand, Baan Pakgasri Hideaway is exactly what those beach bums are dreaming of. Perhaps because there's so few of them, a lot of detail has gone into the bungalows. … read the full post

Undocumented immigrants can apply for Illinois driver's licenses in Nov.
By ROSALIND ROSSI Transportation Reporter October 29, 2013 2:04PM
Secretary of State Jesse White holds up a new temporary visitor drivers license edged in purple and a regular drivers license edged in red at news conference announcing new license procedures. | Rossi Rosalind/Sun-Times Media
Updated: December 1, 2013 8:14AM
At least 250,000 undocumented immigrants living in Illinois are expected to apply for new temporary driver's licenses under a process that kicks off Nov. 12, officials said Tuesday.
The issuance of new Temporary Visitor Drivers' Licenses makes Illinois the largest of a handful of states to hand out such licenses. California recently approved similar licenses, but it has more than a year to start issuing them.
"We are on the right side of the issue,'' Secretary of State Jesse White said at a news conference Tuesday announcing the new application procedures.
White said the process ensures that undocumented residents who drive are insured and know the rules of the road. That promotes safety for all drivers as well as financial protection in case of an accident, he said.
The law signed earlier this year also requires that applicants prove they have lived in Illinois for at least a year.
"We want to make sure that people who come seeking a license live in Illinois,'' White said. "We don't want people from Wisconsin, Minnesota, other parts of the country, coming here to get a license.''
State Rep. Lisa Hernandez (D-Chicago) said she expected 100 to 200 people would attend seminars offered by her office on the new law. Instead, more than 1,000 showed up.
"The expectation that the gates will be flooded is very real,'' Hernandez said.
Devising the process involved tackling "a lot of thorny issues" and with "250,000 people coming in and applying for this license, this is complicated,'' Illinois Senate President John Cullerton (D-Chicago) said at the news conference.
Lawmakers wanted to ensure that undocumented drivers were insured, tested and did not get exactly the same drivers license as regular drivers, he said.
The temporary licenses for illegal residents are edged in purple — just like the licenses issued to legal residents with visa status. They are valid for three years but cannot be used as identification. Regular drivers get licenses that are bordered in red, are valid for four years and can be used as identification.
Starting Nov. 12, applicants may schedule in-person appointments at a Secretary of State facility by calling (855) 236-1155 or at www.cyberdriveillinois.com. Website application procedures and phone operators will be available in Spanish, Polish, Mandarin Chinese and Korean, program manager Lisa Grau said.
Starting Dec. 3, two Secretary of State locations will begin processing those with appointments: 5301 W. Lexington in Chicago and 2701 S. Dirksen Parkway in Springfield.
On Dec. 10, two more locations will be added: 5401 N. Elston in Chicago and 1510 W. Market St., in Bloomington.
In January, 21 more facilities will accept appointments. No walk-ins will be allowed.
At their appointments, applicants must provide documents proving their date of birth; their written signature; their Illinois address for at least one year, and insurance coverage. Their photo will be taken and processed through the state's facial recognition database, and they will take a driver's road test, a written test on the Illinois rules of the road, and a vision test.
Written materials will be provided in four other languages, and translators will be available at facilities, but applicants also are encouraged to bring friends or relatives with them to act as interpreters, Secretary of State officials said.
Once documents are verified and insurance is proven, applicants will receive a driver's license in the mail.
Officials estimated the in-person appointment process should take two hours per person. They expect to issue 100,000 licenses a year, at $30 each.
Officials have no intention of sharing driver's license information with immigration officials, but "on a case-by-case basis,'' if they receive "a legitimate request from police" or a subpoena for information on a driver, that request will be honored, Secretary of State attorney Nathan Maddox said.
Hernandez said she has encountered "a lot of fear" about the news licenses, but also "much gratefulness, that finally, [undocumented immigrants say] 'I can drive and feel I will not be stopped.' "
She encouraged prospective applicants to educate themselves on the process and take advantage of it.
Said Hernandez: "It's a legal way to drive. You're safe, and it's safer for others that you are trained and insured.''

The way we were
Drive-in movies
I couldn't wait for nightfall.
When you can't tell time, it crawls more slowly forward than backward. My every-five-minutes question, "Is it time yet?," started to annoy the adults in the room, and my sense of survival soon overcame my intense anticipation. So I waited. And waited. And waited.
Finally! It was time to go to the movies!
Every summer Saturday, my family went to the drive-in. It was wonderful! The '50s cars filled with fins, chrome, and various models in a riot of colors, some two-toned. My dad was a Chevy man, so I was a Chevy girl. Cars meant drive-in movies.
So as darkness fell, we—my parents, my three younger sisters, and I—piled into our Chevy and headed to the drive-in on the hill. The summer heat began to subside. Dad paid a nominal amount, and the smell of popcorn floated into our open windows.
He drove slowly over the gravel hillocks in pursuit of the elusive Perfect Spot. I didn't understand what elements made it perfect, but I never doubted perfect's existence, either. When Dad found the spot, we held our breath as he man-handled the bulky speaker onto his window's lip, then turned the knob to "On." If it didn't work, that meant another search.
At last we found the other Perfect Spot. My parents and baby sister sat in front. We three girls perched our heads over the front bench seat.
Jaunty songs advertised soda pop, candy, and hot dogs with a cartoon man dancing in a popcorn box, trying to entice us to the concession stand. Dad performed refreshment duty, returning with popcorn, an orange soda split three ways, and colas for the adults only.
Some other families climbed onto their car hoods and relaxed against windshields. Others pulled out lawn chairs. And everywhere families and young couples spread picnic blankets for dining and reclining. Ours was a strictly in-car experience.
Suddenly, tension arose. I could feel it. Tension meant the movie was commencing, the evening's penultimate moment. Action flickered across the big screen, framed by the night sky. Cartoons were for kids, but Dad laughed, too.
At the drive-in we saw "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "West Side Story," and a young Clint Eastwood in a cowboy film made in Italy. Apparently the United States didn't like Eastwood—yet. There were no G's, R's or X's back then, and music was integral to each film.
Too soon, intermission arrived— the break between features. When concession ads came onto the screen, that signaled our bedtime. Each back car well, blanketed softly, held one sister. And I stretched across the space beneath the rear window above the back seat, too excited to sleep, listening to the next feature well into the night.
Richard Hollingshead was just trying to sell more cars, I guess, when he invented the drive-in movie in 1933 and sold 25-cent tickets. And look at what he started. In 1958, about 3,500 movie theaters existed.
But the world changed around them, and the drive-ins didn't change. Now fewer than 500 drive-in movies exist. In the Kansas City area, only four are open. Johnson County has none, where it once had six. But drive-in movies are making a nostalgic comeback, catering to families with young kids and offering the most affordable prices.
Now drive-in movies offer an island of escape. They also offer an opportunity for entrepreneurs with small-business savvy. A number of drive-ins stay open year-round. In the late 1990s alone, nearly 100 drive-in movies, small to large, saw their grand openings or re-openings.
Maybe it's time to go to the movies!
