My friend, Kathleen Flenniken's second book poems entitled PLUME will be published by the University of Washington Press this spring. I read many of the poems when we were in grad school together and they are truly incredible.
The collection is based on her history growing up in Hanford and working at the Hanford Nuclear Site.
Those in the Northwest are quite familiar with Hanford and she has done her research to produce a book of poems that well-written, well-crafted, and as Martha Collins says, "PLUME raises the bar for documentary poetry."
Kathleen's son made this book trailer for her. What I love about it is that they drove to Hanford to get the video to use. I love seeing Kathleen read in front of smoke rising into the air, and I love how this book trailers tells us what we will be getting in her book as well as gives us a sample of Kathleen's work.
If you haven't read Kathleen's first book, FAMOUS, I highly recommend it. It won the Prairie Schooner prize a few years ago and is an incredible read.
Here's the book trailer for PLUME... I think it's a wonderful job and I love that her son did for her, a great experience to have together--

The Janet Rahamut Award is given in recognition to the faulty member who exhibits the most heart for students as evidenced by frequent interaction and positive involvement with them outside of the classroom.
The award is named in memory of Dr. Janet Rahamut, a veteran English professor whose tragic death in 2000 shocked the campus and left a tremendous void in the collective heart of the Lee family. The award was created to honor Rahamut's dedication to her students, in and out of the classroom.
Jenkins joined the Lee University School of Religion in the fall of 2004. He teaches courses such as introduction to theology, doctrine of the holy spirit, and freshman gateway seminar. He also teaches graduate seminars on prayer, the Trinity, and early Christian doctrine. In addition, Jenkins currently serves as the director of Lee's Graduate Studies in Biblical and Theological Studies.
Since being at Lee, Jenkins has co-established an open discussion forum on campus called "Conversations on Apologetics," and founded, with his wife, a student-oriented mentoring house whose stated purpose is spiritual, academic, and social accountability.
Jenkins received the Excellence in Advising Award in 2012.
The recipient of the Janet Rahamut Award is chosen by a student committee chaired by the Student Leadership Council chairperson and sponsored by the vice president for Student Development.
"I cherish this award most of all because it was granted to me by a committee of students," said Jenkins.
Jenkins obtained his doctorate in systematic theology at Marquette University, two master's degrees at Duke University Divinity School, one in general theological studies (MTS), the other with an emphasis in historical theology (ThM), and his bachelor of arts in Bible and theology at Lee University.
Jenkins is a member of South Cleveland Church of God, where he teaches discipleship classes. He is also an active member of the Society for Pentecostal Studies.
Jenkins is married to Larisa Ard, and they have four children: Merritt, Eleanor, Eli and Ava.

Extremely creepy vintage PSA featuring children in odd monkey masks.
UbetI'mcrazy! -
And I thought I was crazy
I just came across this on You Tube from the "Boards of Canada" song "Everything you do is a Balloon". What a work of art. This is a "Bicycle Safety Movie"? I see it as different personalities all trying to ride together on their bikes, yet staying true to their thoughts and beliefs, wearing the monkey masks. They all meet their demise except the little boy who is not wearing a mask. I relate to the girl in the pink shirt. Pushing the others away with her arms, shaking her fists and then eventually breaking away from the rest. Yeah, I have had therapy. I enjoyed reading everyone's reviews, we all have our own thoughts about it, This is just great!

IMDb entry
I see that a Diane Chambers was in it. Why couldn't they have also found a Sam Malone?
I'm guessing that part of this was shot in or near Elysian Park in Los Angeles, Calif. I recognize a tunnel on the Pasadena Fwy (Route 110) immediately east and down slope from Dodger Stadium. The palm tree lined streets where most of the film was shot look like they are located in a foothill community in Pasadena or east of there. It has the typical smoggy sky look of the LA Basin. Too bad there weren't any street name signs visible.

This film is amazing! Wish the print quality was better,but this is a MUST see!

Absurdist Public Service
Ernie Kovacs meets those helpful Coronet Films meets Franz Kafka. I wonder why they didn't list riding with monkey masks on as a safety hazard to avoid? At any rate this is a masterpiece, and certainly more than a mere safety film.

Primal Bike Safety
The perfectly unsettling safety film, possibly (not) the inspiration for the original Planet Of The Apes. Mr. Horton makes it a who, what, why, WHOA, thriller. Delightful!

I saw this video a year or so ago, talk about surreal!
We'd watched it after a night out, so at first thought we were tripping or something...
we had to check it again the next day in a sober state and couldn't believe it was actually for real!
It truly is something different..

Hi-Q Strikes Again
How times have changed. Today, the parents of the dead kids .. uh, monkeys .. would simply hire lawyers and sue for compensation, starting with the woman in the Olds who didn't look in front when she pulled and hit the one kid. There'd be political mayhem over the city worker (who else would be in a steam-roller on a city street?), crushing an innocent child wearing papier-maché. TV cameras would be chasing the mayor for comment. We'd see pictures of the dead young tyke on the mantle in the home of the weepy parents' in an exclusive interview with Barbara Walters.
And the movie makes perfect sense. All your friends get killed on the road, so what do you? Continue on to an empty park and eat.
But the film is obviously effective, even today. I've never seen one child wearing a monkey mask while riding.
I wonder if any of these kids put this epic of the cinema on their resumés? And was Max Hutto the same Max Hutto who directed Fibber McGee and Molly in the early 50s?
For Mr. Carras: the music is a regular Capitol Hi-Q fest here. The first bed if ZR-45 Metropolitan by Geordie Hormel, the opening one is PG 291 City Slicker by Phil Green. The background music for the bulk of the riding scenes in this odd film mostly consists of two cues from the appropriately (and perhaps newly re-) named Bicycle Ride (Loose-Cookerly-Cadkin) and Bargain Sale (Loose).
Where's the Sequel?
This has got to be the funniest Safety Video I ever seen. But to be fair, not EVERYONE was harmed in the making of this film, 1) the boy who followed all the rules, and 2) the one who was on foot only got sore feet, not squashed by a steam roller or hit by cars and/or trucks. Otherwise it was funny in an Macabre kind of way!

One Got Fat
This turns up regularly on SumoTV in the UK, along with lots of Coronet and Sid Davis films. You can imagine what this channel is like ! They repeat a film of the 1938 soap box derby at least three times a week.
Steve Carras -
Until I came across this I forgot all about this one.Edward Everett Horton and his loopy demented narration make this a bit like Fractured Fairy Tales on Jay Ward cartoons (which,of course, he also narrated earlier), and the Seely-Capitol stock music (heard on numerous ephermal films such as "The Place to get Well","Century 21" and various others and on various television shows and a few Warner cartoons made in 1957-58, and some sound FX remind me of Gumby (particuarly in the music case most of the cues heard, except for a few like at the beginning which was one of many also in Hanna-Barbera cartoons as well.)(Phil Green, George Hormel,Eddy Lund, Emil Cadkin, Spencer Moore,Jack Shaindlin, Jack Cookly, John Seely, Bill Loose, Hal Bluestone and Henry Russell were among the composers.Some of the cue music may have been on CORONET films, YOUNG AMERICA films, McGRAW HILL & Sid DAVIS films as well.)

Craziest Film Ever
I was telling a friend about this movie that I saw as a kid and how this movie gave me nightmares. I was telling her that I thought that they were crazy to show us this film and that I was subjected to it twice. Once in school and the other at church during Vacation Bible School.
I took a chance and googled "monkey bicycle saftey movie". This was the first site that came up.
I am glad that I was not the only one who remembered the movie.

I saw this film in grade school and had nightmares for months. I've had many of these images in my head for the past 30 years, and having just watched it again I have to ask - what the hell were the school administrators thinking?!?

I love the 60's
I got high and watched this several times in school. Then, years later, watched a primus video with a friend and realized that they used this video as backround images for a live show in Chicago. I think this proves that On got fat and Primus are the strangest combination of things that I love. Long live One Got Fat.
gailp -
GREAT FUN! I saw this in first grade at Palos East School in Palos Heights, Illinois, way back in 1965. The images haunted me for years and I remember asking a friend who went to the same school if she remembered seeing it but she didn't. So, I chalked up the grisly images to a childhood nightmare I must have forgotten.
Now I know I'm not crazy. The ghoulish people with skull-heads really did exist. It's great to see this film again even if it is creepy and hard to understand how this was supposed to teach kids anything. I don't remember thinking it was a lesson about bike safety. I just remember being scared by it.
monkeymask -
brings me back!
Yay! I was so happy to find this short film! It made quite an impression on me when I saw it in 3rd grade! People I tried to explain it to many years later thought I was crazy and I even acquired the nickname "Monkeymask" after one attempt! It is wonderfully creepy and absolutely 'bananas'!

Phenomenally creepy
What really makes this film is the narrator. He is detached, smug, sanctimonious and, after a few minutes, really gets under your skin; the general form of what he says is "Johnny has been crushed by a steamroller. Oh dear, what a pity, he should have used hand signals".
As others point out, the film is odd enough regarding visuals and content, but that chiding, wheedling, nagging yet strangely emotionless voice really makes it worth downloading!

This has got to be...
...the weirdest Bike safety film I've ever seen. One by one the children dissappear, but not one of the kids seems to notice or care that another one turns up missing or hurt. I think I would say the heck with it after the first accident, but t hen I'd probably BE the first one anyway! ;)

Wierd Wierd Bycicle Safety Film
One of the Oddest films I've seen here in the archives, this bycicle safety film features a group of kids dressed up as monkeys trying to ride thier bikes to the park. I said "trying" because only one actually makes it. Although I didn't find this as horific as other reviewers found it (you can clearly see that the accident potrayed in this film never actually happened) still thiers a reason why films like this arn't used today. It's kind of funny looking back on these things and wondering why the producers of these movies tried so hard to give children nightmares. A point of intrest is when one of the boys choose "smolders" and we see the "death" animation.

Mean Streets
A group of children wearing ape masks make themselves bag lunches and set off on a bike trip to the park for a picnic. The children who fail to follow bicycle safety rules get hit by cars, steamrollers, pedestrians or fall into open manholes. Even though itÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs intended to be humorous, the supposedly child-friendly suburb in this film turns into a deadly place for kids. The one boy who follows all the rules ends up alone at a picnic table in the park without a mask on eating all the other kids' lunches. The film ends with shots of the injured children wrapped in casts in hospital beds and the lonely boy at the picnic table in the empty park. LetÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs hope there are none of the adult male predators around that populate some of the other Sid Davis cautionary films. Even kids who follow all the rules are still at risk.

I saw this movie in school!
I've become a huge Prelinger Archives fan ever since I recently stumbled onto this wonderful website. I was absolutely stunned to find this long lost treasure from my childhood available for download! Believe it or not, I actually saw this movie in school!
It was 1979, I was nine years old, and in Mrs. Wirth's class at Harry L. Edson Elementary School in Kingston, NY. The cafeteria at Edson was extended into the old auditorium after the new one was built. So, they would set up a movie screen on the old stage and a Bell & Howell projector and show educational films and cartoons during lunch.
One Got Fat was one of the many educational films that was shown. It really stuck with me because it was so wonderfully weird and creepy. It must have given many kids nightmares, especially back in 1963 when it was made.
I remember sitting in the dark watching these kids in grotesque ape masks suffering all sorts of horrendous accidents in the name of teaching bike safety. In the darkened lunchroom, I could tell that the teachers were revolted by this film, but the kids got a kick out of it.
Even though this was made by Dale Jennings, it could have easily come from the warped mind of Sid Davis. If you've ever seen a Sid Davis educational film - especially one of his "don't talk to strangers" movies - you know that Davis believed that the best way to teach kids is to scare the living hell out of them.
After seeing this Jennings film, I bet there were a lot of abandoned bikes left to rust in the garage. :o)
Thank you, Prelinger people, for adding this gem to your collection! Please add more "classroom classics" from the 1960s and 70s!

Mortality rate for Apechild Cyclists holds steady near 100%
If you're an apechild, stay the **** off of your bicycle, else ya gonna die. A bunch of kids in ape masks suffer a rediculous casualty rate during a short bike ride.
I'm still trying to figure out how a bike with 2 people on it fit down an open manhole, or why the manhole was open, or why the apechildren owned bikes, or why there are apechildren, or why the steamroller didn't slow down/turn, or why the rest of the apechildren don't lend medical aid to the injured ones instead of continuing on their merry way.
This film bothers me on a very fundamental level
5 stars, best in show.
GVelazquez -
Deliciously Funny
A welcome break from the usual maudlin fare. Each child's bicycling demise might be handled sort of cavalierly, but it's effective--it makes me want to be the safest bicyclist, ever. And you see that the monkey kids are all recuperating in the hospital after, so it's got a (relatively) happy ending. I wish there were more safety films like this.
cashel -
This film has been viewed 5401 times and the fine Sid Davis film, Bicycle today, automobile tomorrow, has only be seen only 101 times. Admittedly, the Davis film has no laughs,b ut citizens might also consider that childrens deaths and terrible injuries while cycling have been increasing each year

Best editing ever!
Classic film, topped off by the classic moment where a child cycles into two old women who fly up into the tree. Watch it in slo-mo.

spectacular! as an avid lifetime cyclist this makes me think of all the mistakes and poor judgement i have made all these years. if i had only seen this as a young boy i would probaby have taken up skateboarding.

Oh my goodness
This is quite possibly the most entertaining video on this site, mainly because it's just so freaking bizarre. Just make sure you're not eating anything while you watch this. My friend launched soup all over the place when he saw the first shot when you finally see all their faces.
I think that most young children would probably not even want to go near a bike after seeing this.
Ryan Hennessy -
This is the type of movie that, once a kid sees it, will stay in his head for a long, long time. The images are just haunting. I'm sure that there's lots of people out there who saw this when they were kids, and still recall, in the backs of their minds, something about "monkeys on bicycles." And to have Edward Everett Horton from the Fractured Fairy Tales narrate this makes it all the more surreal. This is my favorite thing that I've found on the Prelinger Archives.
Spuzz -
Right? Right.
Very strange and surreal short designed to entertain and educated kids but probably terrifying them at the same time. A group of kids go out to have a picnic at a park. They all take their bikes (except one kid, who don't got one anymore) and all but two are suffered a pretty bad fate. (the kid with no bike is spared). They're hit by cars, flattened by steamrollers, falling down manholes etc. They're all wearing monkey masks too, (which seriously can impair your vision, but they don't comment on that). One kid survives to get to the park. What also so is amazing about this film is how everyone just keeps on going when each of the kids is squashed. What does THAT teach? A MUST SEE on this site!
DrAwkward -
This is an astonishing art film in the guise of a bicycle safety short. If the photographer Ralph Eugene Meatyard (for a sample of his work, see http://www.geh.org/ne/str085/htmlsrc8/meatyard_sld00001.html) had made movies, they would have looked exactly like this. The one-little-indian plot allows it to be whimsical, mercilessly ironic, disturbing and fun. And that narration takes the cake. This is the sort of movie you have to show people so that they'll believe it exists, because you cannot describe how weird it is! I loved it!

Planet of the bicyclists
A safety film like no other! How could I have missed this until now! 10 begin but one arrives, the human amongst the apes! And Edward Everett Horton! My God! And the Oscar goes to... !!!

A classic!
My years of searching for this movie is what led me to discover this great site. I saw this film in elementary school a couple different times, and if you see it you'll understand why it had me remembering it for many years afterward. After the first time we saw it in school, we couldn't even remember the real title and always called it "Monkeys on Bicycles." When you're seven years old, seeing a bunch of kids in ape masks getting run over by steamrollers has less of an effect on making you ride your bike safely than on introducing you to the fact that there's a whole weird world of strange thinking out there to discover! I also loved the canned production music, and after several school viewings over the years my brother and I always remembered the catchy theme that plays at the end when the "good" kid makes it to the picnic grounds. I had forgotten that Edward Everett Horton did the narration, and his narration adds an extra quality touch. Too bad more educational movies weren't like this one! (Brent Walker)
Wilford B. Wolf -
Fractured Fairy Tales
Films about bicycle safety could be dull and tedious... but not if you get Edward Everett Horton to narrate. Mr. Horton provided the wonderfully loopy narration for Jay Ward's Fractured Fairy Tales and does a similarly wonderful job here.
They managed to cover all the basics, but having the children in ape masks gives the whole thing a surreal feeling. Some of situations are bit over the top, such as having one child seemingly run over by a steamroller or fall down an open manhole cover. However, there is nothing explicit about the scenes and they drive the point about what could happen if the rules are not followed.
Horton's narration and the totally ridiculous names help prevent the movie from becoming too grusome.

This dress was all I expected and more as far as beauty. I didn't expect the fabric to be so stretchy, so that was a plus. I almost ordered a large, but after trying other dresses & the meds/8s fit, I decided to go with the med. Perfect, it's sexy enough for an evening event yet demure enough for church, at least for me. I'm 5ft6in all legs and its just a few inches above my knees. Its a stunning dress.

Material: Polyester
Brand: Dakine
Origin: Imported
The history of Dakine begins in 1979, when founder Rob Kaplan created a surf leash (a cord surfers use to attach themselves to their boards) that could withstand the tough conditions of Hawaii's North Shore. After spending the early 1980s producing windsurfing gear, Dakine — in Hawaiian, its meaning is "the kind" — moved to Oregon in 1986 and gradually expanded its range to include men's and women's ski, bike and snowboard clothing as well as durable luggage, hats and gloves, and other outdoor accessories. Whether you're looking for a backpack that will transport your goods across the street or a performance-ready rucksack like the Heli Pro, Dakine's got all the bags you need — and with super-practical features such as fleece-lined pockets and insulated hydro-sleeves.

Nelson Chavarria, M.D., Gorgi Kozeski, M.D., Todd Kerwin, M.D.
Introduction: Amyloidosis is a clinical disorder caused by extracellular deposition of fibrils composed of a variety of low-molecular weight serum proteins. Cardiac involvement in amyloidosis is seen in up to 90% of patients, however less than 5% of these patients present with isolated cardiac disease. Syncope or pre-syncope as a presenting symptom of cardiac involvement is uncommon but particularly ominous, as it is often an indicator of severe cardiac involvement and is associated with a high short-term mortality.
Case Presentation: The patient is a 55 yo male with history of obesity and sleep apnea, who presents following an episode of exertional syncope and extensive facial injuries. He admits to a 3 month history of progressive SOB and fatigue with minimal exertion. His recent outpatient work-up consisted of a treadmill stress test during which he had near-syncope without any significant arrhythmia noted. Subsequent coronary angiography revealed mild non-obstructive disease. Pulmonary function testing demonstrated moderately reduced total lung capacity and minimally reduced diffusion capacity.
On admission, the electrocardiogram revealed sinus rhythm with RBBB, indeterminate axis, inferior Q-waves, normal voltage. Echocardiogram showed an EF of 45-50%, normal LV chamber size, severe concentric LVH, dilated atria, moderate pulmonary hypertension, and diastolic dysfunction with a restrictive filling pattern. No pronounced "speckling" was noted. The patient experienced recurrent syncope while ambulating in the hallway, without arrhythmia on the monitor. A repeat treadmill stress test, quickly precipitated a near-syncopal episode with profound hypotension and hypoxia seen within 2 minutes of light exercise, normal aumentation of heart rate, and no arrhythmia. In the interim, elevated light chain amyloid was confirmed in urine and serum studies. A cardiac MRI revealed left ventricular and right ventricular hypokinesis, with extensive delayed enhancement of both the atria and ventricles, suggestive of an infiltrative cardiomyopathy. Subsequent endomyocardial biopsy confirmed the presence of interstitial amyloid deposits in the myocardium and intramyocardial small vessels. Bone biopsy further revealed underlying plasma cell proliferation, consistent with multiple myeloma.
Discussion: Cardiac sequelae of amyloidosis are the result of fibril infiltration into the myocardium. This creates a restrictive cardiomyopathy (stiff heart) and increased cardiac filling pressures leading to symptoms of exercise intolerance and heart failure. Exertional syncope as the presenting symptom of amyloidosis is uncommon. Multiple factors are described to contribute to syncope, such as autonomic neuropathy leading to postural hypotension as well as brady- and tachy-arrhythmias. Our patient only experienced syncope with exertion associated with hypotension and hypoxia, and without arrhythmia or chronotropic incompetence. We hypothesize that the cause of syncope was an inability to augment cardiac output due to severe restriction. The hypoxia likely was the result of intense tissue oxygen extraction. Extensive cardiac involvement was demonstrated by cardiac MRI.

5 Best SEO-Friendly WordPress Themes for Bloggers
Indeed, "good design is good business." But what does it mean to have a "good" design? It all goes back to how your website or blog comes off when viewed on a desktop computer, tablet, or smartphone, which is imperative in encouraging users to visit and stay on your site. You must ensure that your blog design follows the best practices in user experience and SEO.
For newbie bloggers, learning how to make it look good is just as important as learning how to make a website. Fortunately for WordPress users, a good design is make possible with just a few clicks of a button – no coding necessary! This is because a blog design using the WordPress CMS is determined by the theme you choose.
For "good design" that observe the best practices in both UX and SEO, look no further than these SEO-friendly WordPress themes below!
Note: You may be wondering the exclusion of Thesis and Genesis theme from the list. While both are ideal for use if you want a clean, responsive, and fast-loading blog, both work more as frameworks in a sense that both come with additional features on top on what you already have on your WordPress blog. While ultimately not being themes in the strictest sense, both still come as highly recommended.

Election authorities report relatively uneventful day
By Susan Frick Carlman firstname.lastname@example.com April 9, 2013 8:34AM
Rich Durante of Naperville casts his ballot for the Municipal Elections at Naperville's Municipal Center on Tuesday, April 9, 2013. | Brian Powers~Sun Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: April 9, 2013 7:16PM
Drizzle was starting to trickle from the sky as voters trickled in to the gym at River Woods Elementary School in far southeast Naperville early Tuesday morning. Classes hadn't yet begun, and the voters so far were largely staying home as well.
By 7:30 a.m., election judges for Will County Precincts 2 and 7, both of which have polling places at the Naper Boulevard school, had seen just 25 voters come through. Nobody was waiting when the polls opened at 6 a.m., they said.
"About one every ten minutes," said Bill Hannum, one of the workers staffing the two tables where voters were checking in, estimating the pace of those coming in since they had opened the door. His coworkers nodded their consensus.
The low-key participation continued through the late afternoon hours.
"Some areas are a little heavier than others, but basically it's a low turnout," said Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots, who was predicting the usual 18 percent or so of registered voters would cast ballots. "It's not anywhere near the presidential election, that's for sure."
Last November, 71 percent of the county's voters took part in the general election.
DuPage County also was seeing modest numbers at the polling places.
"We're right around 18, 19, 20 percent," said Bob Saar, executive director of the DuPage Election Commission, in the late afternoon.
The atmosphere of calm didn't entirely predominate. Voots said when election judges arrived at 5 a.m. at the Tallgrass Clubhouse polling place on Naperville's southwest side, the place was locked and the employee with the key was nowhere to be found. Naperville police, the Will County sheriff's office and Wheatland Township authorities were contacted, and finally a field technician in Voots' office used a screwdriver to pry open the door. The booths were ready to receive voters at 6:36 a.m., she said.
"I didn't just do this on my own. I had to run it by my state's attorney," Voots said. "He said, 'You have to do what you have to do.'"
It turned out the person responsible for opening up the clubhouse is a new employee and hadn't been told of the early-morning duty.
"He felt bad about it," Voots said.
In DuPage, one polling place reported concerns early in the day that some of the voting stations were positioned in a way that made it possible for voters' choices to be seen from outside the booth.
"Quite frankly, we agreed with them," Saar said, adding that his staff will work up a schematic showing how the booths need to be configured, before the next election round a year from now.
A couple of schools in the Darien and Woodridge area had reported safety concerns that were understandable, "especially in light of the latest tragedy," Saar said, referring to the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut in December.
DuPage once had polling places in about 200 schools, Saar said, and now they number about 17 or 18. Woodridge school administrators apparently overlooked the need to cancel Tuesday's classes, he said, as most do when voters are expected to come and go during the instructional day. Election officials agreed to dispatch a couple of armed plainclothes sheriff's deputies, Saar said, noting that uniformed officers can be perceived as coercive.
The DuPage Election Commission board has the "unique ability" to provide an armed guard at the polling places, he added, predicting that his office will hear similar requests from other schools. Instead of Tuesday's $900 expense, the cost could rise to some $30,000, Saar said.
With polling-place requirements that include ample parking and accessibility for those with physical disabilities, and with schools today often setting up shop in churches and park district facilities, he said it's not a simple matter to remove voting sites entirely from locations where there are children.
"It seems like they're bringing up some serious questions," Saar said.
The Election Commission also received some reports of relatively minor troubles at certain sites. Two pollwatchers "got into it" at a polling place in Glendale Heights, Saar said, and one of them wound up filing a police report. At another voting location at a local church, a man persisted in posting signs after authorities ordered them removed.
"He was a little bit intimidating, and that was very strange," Saar said. "We take that kind of thing very seriously."
And there was the usual collection of calls about the particulars of electioneering; one caller wanted to know whether it was still legal to post signs from more than the required 100-foot distance outside a voting site, if the wording on the signs remains legible from that far away.
"Those are the kind of questions you get," Saar said.
From tax rates and public improvements to basic services such as snow plowing, residents could see the day's balloting have a direct impact on their lives. Local units of government with slots being filled Tuesday have control over an estimated $1 billion in public money, most of it collected from local taxpayers.
"There is no reason they should not vote," Voots said. "With the economy the way it is right now, you think people would get out and vote."
Among the decisions made in Naperville Tuesday were the filling of four seats on the City Council, four school board spots each in Naperville District 203 and Indian Prairie District 204, and several dozen area township offices. The question of whether to retain the existing at-large electoral system or switch to ward representation for the City Council also was on the ballot.
"You are electing local officials who are spending your tax dollars," Voots said. "You can actually call and talk to these people."
And she noted that Tuesday was not residents' first chance to weigh in.
"People had an opportunity well ahead of election day to vote," she said.
A total of 9,787 Will County residents took advantage of the early, mail-in, absentee and grace-period voting options, according to Voots' website. The figure represents just less than 2.5 percent of all of those registered to vote. A report from Saar's office shows 12,814 DuPage residents voted in advance of Tuesday, about 2.25 percent of all registered voters.

Hey guys!
I know many of you have been waiting for this moment, and i'm pleased to FINALLY be typing this thread. I have been working very closely with a machinist to get little things here and there right, and I will continue to do so even with showing you this first round of "Masters" if you will. I want to highlight what I feel are any shortcomings that will be fixed before the parts actually make it to your doorstep, and I also want to set proper expectations for moving forward.
As many of you know, I have acquired the the pieces used for our drawings from Fettpride, and we will be working on more pieces in the near future that I will gauge interest on via this thread as well. As future projects come up I will be making new threads, but for now I think it will be much easier for me to maintain this one thread for both sales and interest.
I will warn you I'm not a professional photographer, nor do I have a professional studio to display these items, so a sheet on a (fairly) level chair had to work! This will be something I upgrade in the future. I am in the beginning stages of buying a house and will end up building a miniature studio to take more accurate pictures.
With that being said, lets get to the pieces! (Click item name for Pictures):
These darts use Fettpride's copy of the actual Michell part. I cannot tell you how much pictures don't do these justice, it's hard to compare darts that have been primered to ones that are raw aluminum, but I will tell you that the smaller dart is getting tweaked even further to be more accurate than the pictures show. This being said, I am curious how many of you would like to see more accurate Toe Spikes using this part, as the ones available now are a "Variant" and are sized completely differently.
The main thing I want to point out on the stabilizer here is that the top is a screw-on piece with an accurate hole in the middle. The screw in piece will have the accurate tapering on the top and bottom so that it looks just like the Michell part. While the knurling may not be 100% accurate it will be as close as I can get it, and if a more accurate knurling is found locally I will offer a replacement screw-top to those who have purchased my stabilizer at an extremely discounted price.
[/SIZE]This here is my pride and joy. I fought tooth and nail to bring you guys a more accurate Beacon that not only looked better, but had better functionality as well. The MachineCraft Jetpack Beacon does both of these. Utilizing a screw on top and a long fastener, installing a Beacon and light setup will be easier than ever. By using a 'skinny' fastener with flat ends, you can easily thread the Beacon into place without fear of a nut eating into that great fiberglass job. This beacon is hollow to allow a small set of wires to run through the beacon and the beacon top is large enough to house most LED setups. Our very own JC27 will be working on a Beacon light that will be unlike anything we've seen. (I'll let him ring in on that one)
[/B][/SIZE]The Jetpack collar pictured here is actually a prototype which is why the two may have slight differences in the depth of the recess that the missile fits in, this will be addressed with the final production pieces. The main differences between the two is the knurling depth. I am going to be working hard with the machinist to determine if we can get an even more accurate knurling depth, but I assure you the difference is purely one that can only "feel" and not a noticeable one whatsoever even from small distances.
[/B][/SIZE]The Jetpack vents turned out great in general. These are made to fit the Fettpride jetpack. On the vent with "Ears" the MachineCraft piece has "shorter" ears. This has been fixed already and accurate ears will be on those who order them.
[/B][/SIZE]This part is one of the couple that we got completely right on the first time, go us!
[/B][/SIZE]I think these turned out great. We left a hole in the center of the discs to accommodate those who would like to add on the smoke effect to their jetpack!
These flamethrower nozzles are hollow to accommodate many of the LED/smoke systems that our awesome members come up with. In the future I will be working with Fettpride on a resin 'block' that can house these for accurate and easy gauntlet mounting.
HOW TO ORDER: To order, please email email@example.com. By everyone using this email I will be able to have multiple people answer questions and help process the orders and things will get taken care of on a more timely basis. Once you have inquired about your order I will provide you with a template to put in Paypal so that I can easily keep track of your order and make sure it is delivered on a timely basis. All prices are AS GIFT, if sending as goods/services please include 3% Paypal Fee with your order.
Thanks for looking! Feel free to ask any questions you may have!,

I just watched Down the Rabbit Hole, a documentary based on quantum physics – I highly recommend checking it out. The point of the movie is how we create and manifest our reality based on our personal observations. Our perceptions, driven by our observations, are based on past experiences (i.e. fears and insecurities) – in short, all the happenings in our lives that have affected us either negatively or positively.
The focus of the film is on our brain. Our brain is driven by chemical cascades that prepares us for conquest, achievement or fear, which can change our brain chemistry to fearful or fearless. Most interesting is this factoid: the average person's attention span is six to 10 seconds. This is simply because we are so addicted to stimulation and our set responses to the external world. Without extended moments of focus, meditation, prayer, or simply quiet, we will not easily manifest the possibilities of what can be or what we can become. Bottom line: If we choose based on 'what we know, we will always get only what we know. Stay tuned for the next blog : How we create outside by what is occurring inside.

The men of the Gamma Epsilon chapter of Sigma Chi are a diverse group of individuals committed to the principles of friendship, justice, and learning. Our activities extend past our scholastic dedication into the Whitman College and Walla Walla communities. Brothers are involved in a diverse range of activities including baseball, drama, lacrosse, debate, coaching YMCA basketball, music, student government, and philanthropic events. The diverse nature and small size of the Gamma Epsilon chapter allows for a strong and unique brotherhood to form. Through this brotherhood the Sigma Chi experience becomes something that extends much further than just the four years at Whitman College. The large number of alumni who return year after year to rekindle and share their experiences as Sigma Chi's of Whitman College evidences this. The lessons learned through the experience of being a Sigma Chi as well as the contacts developed during this time lead to great success in life.

How long does the game take?

Rattlesnake takes about 10 minutes to play, if not less.
It's a fun, quick game that is enjoyed by a varying age group. I've played with people from age 8 to 38 and everyone has enjoyed it!

I think my girlfriend would hate it. She hates snakes... even gummy worms.

I too ran into this opposition, my love will not even look at the box. We once figured out on the Chinese Zodiac that she was born in the year of the snake, and she was inconsolable for the rest of the evening. I'm never again to bring it up in her presence.
Posted 25 November 2009 - 01:32 PM
I play this game regularly with my 5-year-old in about 5 minute. We also play with a 3-year-old, but that's hit and miss. One game is usually around 10 minutes with multiple kids. We normally play 2 or 3 consecutive games.
Posted 16 August 2010 - 07:35 PM
sounds perfect. right amount of time and right age group.SOLD
Posted 22 February 2011 - 11:07 AM
The age range is perfect, my 3 year old has been all over any kind of game lately. He loves dice games, but this one should work out a lot easier for him.

Windows 7 Map a Network Drive
From ITwiki
Contents |
Important information to know before using this guide
- Mapping A Network Drive means assigning it a Drive letter (commonly U:, M:, X:, or any other available letter) to a network share's full path which often begins with \\storage01.
- You'll need your Stevens account Information as authentication.
- After the Drive is mapped it will appear as a link under 'Computer.'
- If you are OFF CAMPUS you must establish a VPN connection first before mapping a network drive.
- Directions for setting up VPN on Windows 7 can be found here
Step 1 - Click Start
Open your start menu.
Step 2 - Open Computer Link
Find the link button labelled 'Computer' and click to open it.
Step 3 - Click Map Network Drive
Towards the top of the window that just opened (the Computer) will be a link button labelled 'Map a Network Drive.' That's exactly what we want to do, so go ahead and click to open.
Step 4 - Enter the Drive Name
Enter your desired network share location in dialog box labeled folder. In this tutorial we will map the Personal drive which has your username in the path, but you may wish to access ms or public.
Step 5 - Use a different Username
Check the box next to Connect using different credentials
Step 6 - Enter your Stevens username and password
To complete the mapping process, enter your Stevens user name and password.
You must type campus\ before your username, so if your username was jsmith you would type campus\jsmith.

5 A fresh breathe in the World of WarcraftPosted: 01/10/2012After the slight disappointment of Wrath of the Lich King and The Cataclysm I was quite suspicious about Mists of Pandaria. I've played Warcraft 3 and I remember some of the Pandaren lore, but they seemed like a strange choise for a whole new expansion.I was wrong.MoP brings so much more to the world for us to explore: a new continent, race, class, pet battles and challenge mode dungeons and scenarios and there's more coming all the time. Blizzard has made it again: they've breathed new life into WoW and made me their humble costumer again!

I bought the flatware set as a Christmas gift for my Mom, who recently redecorated her kitchen. She wanted red flatware but I had a difficult time finding anything at the stores. I searched online and found cooking.com. The flatware set I ordered arrived in time for the holiday and was beautifully wrapped. My Mom was thrilled with the color, as it matched perfectly with the kitchen aid teakettle I also ordered. The flatware has a nice feel to it and didn't look flimsy or cheap. I've been disappointed with certain products I've bought online, but that certainly was not the case here. I will definitely order from cooking.com in the future.
Thank you.I recommend this product. -
Not great, but a good value for the price
You should not expect excellent quality from flatware that is so inexpensive, but the quality was still a bit lower than what I was expecting. If you want some inexpensive flatware, I would recommend this set, but otherwise I would not. I only purchased it because the last set of flatware I purchased was horribly stained within days, possibly due to the hard water we had, and I did not want to take the chance of ruining another expensive set. This set has not had the same problem, but that might be because we have soft water now.
The main problem with the flatware is that the plastic and metal parts of the handle are not always lined up properly, so you can feel the edge where one of the surfaces extends past the others when you hold it. I strongly recommend getting a flatware set that is either completely metal or has plastic handles that completely surround the metal. I recommend this even if it is an expensive and/or high quality set. Also, the fewer joints, the better because there are fewer possibilities for problems with how it is put together and it is less likely to break, all other things being equal. In addition, a smooth surface does not trap dirt like a joint does and it is easier to clean. -
This flatware is great!
I'm so pleased with my purchase of this flatware. It's well made, and the feel and weight of the pieces in your hand is most satisfactory. It does very well in the dishwasher. And best of all - the red color is perfect. My kitchen and china are all red, black, and white, and I was afraid the color would be an orangey-red that just wouldn't have worked. But the color is a true red and just beautiful. One more thing: the knives are very, very sharp, so you have to watch the way you handle them.
I recommend this product.

I had been looking for "RED" flatware all over town and the internet. Even ordered some from another site and it was more of a brownish red instead of the RED red as pictured in their catalog, so I sent it back. The Red Jubilee Flatware is a true RED red. I am very pleased that I got what I ordered and it was the same as in the picture.

In the cool, clean northern mountains of Thailand, the local Ahka tribes pluck only the top two leaves and a bud of this pristine oolong tea. After plucking it undergoes a delicated eight step process. The result is a rich, golden infusion with a naturally sweet flavor and a robust aroma of honeyed fruit.

MORRISSEY: Blackhawks seem to embody what Chicago is all about
BY RICK MORRISSEY email@example.com June 25, 2013 9:56PM
Andrew Shaw
Article Extras
BOSTON — The blood oozing from the fresh stitches on Andrew Shaw's right cheek — that's Chicago, isn't it? That's us.
Well, not exactly us. There's only one face like Shaw's. It's a hockey player's face, with a timeline of recent cuts and old scars carved into it, and a wispy, spectacularly awful playoff beard added for good measure. And, OK, he's from Belleville, Ontario, not even Belleville, Ill.
But we want to see our city in these Blackhawks. It's a bit foolish, I know, but it's there. We look at their hard work, their spirit, their regular-guy-ness, and we see us. We want to believe that, had we been blessed with their talent, we'd play with the same ferocity. They play like Chicago would play, relentlessly, which is why, in the end, they were the ones left holding the Stanley Cup.
Down a goal to the Bruins in Game 6 with a little more than a minute left in regulation? What of it? Bryan Bickell ties it off an assist by the ever-present, ever-frenetic Jonathan Toews. Then Dave Bolland, a man nicknamed "the Rat'' — you know, with the best possible context in mind — stuffs in the game-winner and Cup-clincher 17 seconds later.
What resonates still is the almost complete lack of studied coolness to these Hawks. No posturing, just pure, uncut joy. When hockey players celebrate, they celebrate together. A goal-scorer doesn't skate away from teammates, the way a soccer player sprints in search of a spotlight. In hockey, he seeks out teammates to hug.
And so the Hawks hugged and hugged Monday night/Tuesday morning after one of the most remarkable comebacks in Stanley Cup history. Or maybe they were just holding each other up, lest they all fall in one exhausted heap.
"We didn't want another game,'' Toews said. "We couldn't take the stress. Keep the bars open, we're going to fill up the Cup. We're ready for a party."
They certainly were, as the stories from their arrival at O'Hare and subsequent march through Chicago's bars and nightclubs Tuesday morning attest. When they climb aboard the double-decker buses for Friday's downtown parade, you can bet they will be celebrating with you.
You, being the veteran title celebrator, know what to do. You went through this with the Hawks in 2010. Show up in hordes along the parade route, watch the conquering champions through a blizzard of confetti and pay homage until your voice sounds like car tires rolling slowly on gravel.
The record 24 straight games with at least a point to start the season somehow got topped in the last game of the playoffs. Nobody predicted this particular ending. Don't lie. You didn't. Late Monday, Chicago was already gearing up for Game 7. That's how it was going to be. Fine. You could work with that. One more game wasn't going to kill you, though after five overtime periods in the series, you wondered if it might.
And then 17 seconds of madness.
"Fairy-tale ending,'' coach Joel Quenneville called it and nailed it.
Toews will tell you that he has received more than enough attention for his performance Monday night, but I'm not sure we've given him his due. This goes beyond the goal and assist he had in Game 6 and directly to the doggedness and fearlessness that make him so good. He's the one player who can't be taken out of the equation for the Hawks. There is no Cup without the captain. There are no Cups, plural, without him.
He keeps going no matter what. Some people call it a blue-collar attitude, probably because nobody wants to be caught dead with a white-collar attitude or, worse, a smoking-jacket-and-ascot attitude. An honest day's work for an honest day's pay is all Chicago asks.
Shaw was leveled by a puck to his face in the first period. He eventually got up, got stitched up and got back to work because that's what you gotta do as a Chicagoan. You go to work even if you don't feel so good. You reverse the flow of a river. You build a canal. You move cattle and pack meat. You rebuild a city after a fire. Ladling too much on here? Maybe, maybe not.
Shaw held the fruits of his labor high over his head Monday night, the silver trophy shining in the lights at TD Garden, a red smear on his cheek. He stuck out his tongue and licked the blood. Perfect.
