Today, a record number of school districts�six�have at least 30 percent of their public school students enrolled in public charter schools. Additionally, 18 school districts have 20 percent or more of their public school students enrolled in charter schools, eleven more than when the report was first printed six years ago.

You'd Like to Sew Your Own EC Trainers or Potty Training Pants?
Whether it's because you need to save money as your budget is limited, or you want to try a few out to see how you and your baby handle using training pants, or perhaps sewing is your creative outlet (or excuse for one) and you've got some fabrics handy!
I made a bunch of OneWet Pants from Marnie's pattern that are just great. I now look with narrowed eyes at some contour nappies that are too small to use with a snappi (I'd been using them inside a cover as a soaker at nights), considering converting them into trainers! Ah the creativity afforded by necessity! I really like the idea of making some boxer trainers for when Jett is bigger too.
I've researched to find a bunch of patterns available online that you can purchase to follow, with patterns, instructions and often photo tutorials as well.

Motorist need to take extreme caution while traveling in these wintery conditions. Visibility is very low in Guymon and surrounding areas. Wind chills are predicted to get as low as -30 in some parts of the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles.
Many Guymon residents noticed this huge flock of approximately one hundred geese, who stopped for a rest at the Texas County Fair Grounds, Friday afternoon.
The cold arctic wind blowing for the past couple of days, not only stirs up sinus problems but trash and debris. Living in the Panhandle, we're used to wind but this has been quite a different experience.
Dangerously cold temperatures with this winter storm were dramatic enough to close area schools and kept many indoors on Tuesday. Outside activities were discouraged as just before 9 a.m. the temperature was 0 degrees.
Mr. Burger employee Shayla Romero braved the winter winds with a smile Tuesday morning as she waited on customers at the drive-thru.
This dedicated Guymon Daily Herald Newspaper Carrier, eleven year old Yessi Fleming, faces the already arctic north wind chill on Monday afternoon to ensure her subscribers receive their paper.
This cow, along with the windmill in the background, sum up what our part of the World is all about, agriculture.
This caktus was still shining with it's bright colors after being charred by the fire Tuesday afternoon.
Guymon Police Department were dispatched to the scene of a wreck at HWY 64 and Tiger Blvd. Monday afternoon. A semi-truck failed to stop at a red light, crashing into this SUV. The driver of the SUV was the only one in the vehicle and was shaken up, but appeared unhurt. The situation could have been so much worse as the point of impact was very close to the driver's door.
Guymon Police Department and EMS were dispatched to a rollover behind the rodeo grounds, in front of the Game Reserve, Thursday afternoon. A teenage driver and passenger were driving at a high rate of speed and lost control of the vehicle after impacting a high point on the side of the dirt road. The driver was transported to the ER by ambulance with unknown injuries, while the passenger was transported to the ER by his mother with unknown injuries as well. A citation for reckless driving was issued to the driver.

Kitajima Saburo (Hokkaido, 1936- )
The Japanese entertainment world (geinokai) has a very clear and strict hierarchy. The grand dames and elder
statesmen of the geinokai are always treated with great respect,
even subservience. They get to do the grand finale performance
at the year's biggest TV concert, the Kohaku Uta Gassen (Red/White Song Contest shown every New Year's Eve). Their opulent
and often over the top lifestyles are indulged and they are never,
ever made to look foolish - not without their consent anyway.
Kitajima Saburo, or Sabu-chan as he is affectionately known, is
one of these grandaddies. He is one of the kings of enka, Japanese
soul ballads that dominated the music world in the first half
of the 20th century. Coming from a Hokkaido fishing family and
being the eldest of seven children, Kitajima was familiar with
the struggles of the working man. This combined with his masculine
voice was to make him popular with the common man as well as a
successful actor in gangster roles.
Inspired as a teenager by the great Misora Hibari, after leaving high school Kitajima came to Tokyo to become a
singer. He worked for six years as a nagashi, a kind of wandering
minstrel who accompanied themselves on guitar or accordion, until
he was introduced to the famous composer Funamura Toru. After two years as his student, Kitajima made his debut in 1962
and the following year went on to win the New Singer award.
Enka hardly ever makes a serious dent in the music charts anymore but it
continues to be popular on TV, especially NHK. Singers like Kitajima,
Itsuki Hiroshi, Ishikawa Sayuri and Fuji Ayako
regularly grace the screen and occasionally manage to cross over
to the popular mainstream for a hit song or commercial. But to
see these veterans in all their glory, you have to tune in to
the New Year spectacle or visit one of their regular theater appearances.
The Koma Gekijo theater in Shinjuku, Tokyo is one of the most famous,
though it was anounced in spring 2008 that even that famous venue was to close.

Real estate agent Wong Jung Lik
KAJANG: Having to endure poor living conditions for years, Hazdi Khalid is looking forward to a change after the Kajang by-election on Sunday.
"I think her manifesto is very practical," he said of Barisan Nasional candidate Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun's pledge to resolve local problems in the constituency.
This is one of her four pledges.
Hazdi, who complained about rubbish, poor drainage, and now the water rationing exercise in the constituency, said the people had been suffering for a long time.
"Pakatan Rakyat has been here for six years, but we do not feel their presence," said the self-employed 38-year-old.
Chew is in a straight fight with PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail in the by-election. The seat fell vacant after PKR's Lee Chin Cheh resigned in January after winning the seat on May 5 last year. Pakatan also won the seat in the 2008 general election.
Retiree Kok Kam Hoong, 60, said Kajang constituents were looking forward to Chew's full-time service.
"She has promised us that she will be reachable round the clock to resolve the people's problems. This is the right attitude of an assemblyman," he said.
Kok's views were shared by R. Perumal, 31, who owns a motorcycle repair shop.
Real estate agent Wong Jung Lik, 33, felt Chew's voice in the Selangor state assembly would help to provide check and balance in the legislature that is dominated by Pakatan assemblymen.
Businessman Tan Toh Hooi, 64, said he believed that Chew would be able to deliver if she was elected.
"She can do it," he said, hoping that she could help to resolve the issue of high business licence fees.
N. Ashok Kumar, 27, meanwhile, has reservations about how far any elected rep could help to resolve problems faced by the people.
"We are facing problems like increasing cost of living and water shortage.
"They (candidates) will make all sorts of promises during campaigning," he said,
Hasrin Omar, 45, who has been staying in Kajang for over 20 years and IT manager K. Poobalan, 40, share the same long-standing concern of traffic congestion.
"It is just too congested. It takes us up to 30 minutes to travel from Jalan Reko to town, which is 3km away," he said.
Businessman Osman Hasan, 59, said he hoped Chew could help resolve local problems that had remained unresolved after six years under Pakatan, citing infrastructure as an example. He also praised Chew for her concern on harmony among Malaysians.
"What attracts me is her pledge to unite the people. To me, there will be no harmony in the absence of understanding and unity among the various races," he said, referring to Chew's pledge to be the goodwill ambassador for unity among the people. Chew's four pledges in her manifesto are to:
> STRENGTHEN the checks and balance in the Selangor state assembly;
> RESOLVE local problems;
> PLAY a constructive role as an Opposition assemblyman; and
> ACT as a goodwill ambassador to unite the people.

Research Interests
I am a member of the Visual Computing Research Group. I am also Director of the interdisciplinary Human Factors Technology Centre involving the Schools of Engineering, Psychology and Computer Science and Informatics. My research interests cover a range of topics in computer vision, from low-level processing of images (both 2D and 3D) to high-level modelling and object recognition strategies, and data/information fusion. For many years I worked on 3D imagery with applications in object recognition and automatic inspection of mechanical objects. This research continues in the area of reverse engineering - building boundary representation CAD models from point data scanned from the surface of engineering objects. Other recent research activities have investigated eigenanalysis of images where some core algorithms have been developed to incrementally build and learn eigenmodels. This work has been applied to articulated human motion and speech driven facial animation. One other area of current interest in data/information fusion, where my research has been driven by defence/military applications with funding from British Aerospace and the newly established MOD funded Data Information Fusion Defence Technology Centre (www.difdtc.com).

This is a portrait of Suzanne Haïk-Vantoura, taken many years ago. Mme. Haïk-Vantoura (née Vantoura) was a composer, organist and music theoretician. Born in Paris, France in 1912, she entered the Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique in Paris (CNSM) in 1931, and was awarded First Prize in Harmony (1934), First Prize in Fugue (1938), and Honorable Mention in Composition (1939). She became the student of the great organist and composer Marcel Dupré from 1941 to 1946, then devoted herself to music composition and teaching.
World War II interrupted her studies, and she fled with her family to southern France. While in hiding from the Nazis, then-Mlle. Vantoura first approached a problem that had intrigued her since childhood: the original meaning of the te`amim (טעמים). By her account, she had learned in a French encyclopedia of music that these signs were ancient, musical and of unknown meaning. Given the lack of correlation between the melodies of the synagogue communities and the physical features of the notation itself, this appraisal was both plausible and objective — and it became the starting point in Mlle. Vantoura's research.
After four months of intensive research (including the creation of interminable statistical tables), she became certain (as her intuition had suggested) that only the sublinear te`amim have a fixed musical meaning; the superlinear te`amim have a subordinate musical meaning. Thus she was able to reconstruct a rough draft of the "Song of the Sea" (Exodus 15); she was astonished at the results! After the war, however, the pressure of her studies and career forced her to put the time-consuming project aside.
During and after the war, Haïk-Vantoura composed a number of works which expressed her independent personality. Those listed on her own Web site include Quatuor florentin (played for the first time in 1942), Un beau dimanche (written in 1957), Destin d'Israël (written in 1964), Versets de psaumes pour 12 voix a capella (a work commissioned by the French Government in 1968) and Offrande (written in 1970). Other works in her curriculum vitae include Visages d'Adam, Rhapsodie Israelienne, Un trio instrumental, Jeu (for piano and violin), Poemes de la Pleiade (suite for piano), Temionage, Hymn liturgique pour voix de soprano et quartuor, and Sept motets for 12 mixed voices (another work commissioned by the French Government). Another notable accomplishment: a recording produced by André Charlin, featuring a text written by Haïk-Vantoura, spoken by Linette Lemercier, and set to music by Menuhin et al., entitled Magie des Instruments (Helios MA301). In addition to all this, Haïk-Vantoura became an organist at the Synagogue de l'Union liberale Israelite de Paris (1946-53) and the Eglise Saint-Helene de Paris (1966-79); an honorary professor of music education (1937-61); a published composer (Un beau dimanche for instrumental trio, 1970; and Adagio for saxophone and organ, 1976); and the wife of Mr. Maurice Haïk, who passed away in 1976. (The couple had no children.)
Over the years, Haïk-Vantoura would approach the problem of the biblical notation now and again, but never had the time to devote herself to solving it. Finally, her old teacher Marcel Dupré and others urged her to complete her work. After her "retirement" in 1970, she devoted herself to the task and (by her own testimony) was overwhelmed at times by the sheer scale of it. It took her four years to complete her decipherment, and another two years to prepare the first edition of her French book La musique de la Bible révélée (Robert Dumas, 1976) and the Harmonia Mundi LP of the same name (also in 1976). The second edition of her French book (Dessain et Tolra, 1978) won the Prix Bernier of the Institute des Beaux Arts de France, its highest award.
Since that time, Haïk-Vantoura produced or supervised the production of no less than six new recordings (two by Esther Lamandier and one by Mira Zakai); four scores with accompaniment corresponding to four recordings (Volumes 1-3 and Cantique des cantiques); three scores without accompaniment (Les 150 Psaumes dans leurs mélodies antiques, Quatre Meghilot and Message biblique intégrale); several articles in academic journals; and a supplement to her original book. (Since Haïk-Vantoura's death, two more recordings, an a capella version of Cantique des cantiques and Le livre d'Isaïe, have been published by Esther Lamandier to date.) Though Haïk-Vantoura was long nearly invalid, she had her own Web site, which remained up and running for some time after her death: http://www.institutionroidavid.com. Regrettably, this site seems to be down permanently.
On October 22, 2000, on the day called Simhat Torah ("Rejoicing of the Law") in Judaism — the very day when the liturgical cycle for one year ends and another begins in the Rabbinic synagogues — Suzanne Haïk-Vantoura passed away in Switzerland after complications resulting from influenza. She was 88 years old. As of October 24, legalities permitting, she was scheduled to be buried in France on October 30. This information (transmitted to me by Dennis Weber) came from Haïk-Vantoura's grand-nephew Philippe.
The following obituary in French is taken from the Musica et Memoria site (Obituares 08/2000 – 11/2000), and is used with permission.
"La musicologue, organiste et compositeur Suzanne Haïk-VANTOURA est décédée en Suisse, à Lausanne, le 22 octobre 2000. Née en 1912 à Paris, Mlle Vantoura avait rejoint le CNSM où elle obtenait plusieurs prix d'écriture. Mariée à Maurice Haïk, elle commença par se consacrer à l'enseignement et à la composition. C'est ainsi qu'on lui doit notamment un Quatuor à cordes, sept Motets, un Poème pour piano et orchestre et un poème liturgique, Judas le pieux. Egalement organiste, elle avait rejoint en 1969 les rangs de l'Union des Maîtres de Chapelle et Organistes, alors présidée par Henri Busser. Peu de temps après elle se passionnait pour le mystère du sens des signes musicaux contenus dans la Bible hébraïque et réussissait à en retrouver le sens puis à en établir une grille de lecture. Elle put ainsi faire éditer cinq mille versets dans leur mélodie originelle et a publié en 1976 le résultat de ses travaux dans son livre La musique de la Bible révélée. Une notation millénaire décryptée (Ed. Robert Dumas, 503 pages, fort in-8). Ses recherches sont actuellement poursuivies par Gilles Tiar dans un institut créé en Israël, portant le nom de «Shir Hashirim». Elle résida longtemps dans un appartement de la rue d'Artois (Paris, IXe), non loin de la maison où mourut, en 1863, le poète et romancier Alfred de Vigny." – Denis HAVARD DE LA MONTAGNE

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate reporter
I have been on the road a bit in the past month and I have needed to stay in a variety of hotels lately.
Most of the time, I look for a balance of cost, location and amenities. If I am only staying for one night, amenities are the lowest thing on my list.
With my art show in Vegas, the cost of the hotel was built in the entry fee. I stayed in a room at a motel that listed at $225 a night, much higher than I would normally consider.
You would think that, at that price, they would offer much more amenities that the lower price places I normally stay. But you would be wrong. I guess if you book a nice room they figure you are willing to pay for all the extras, too.
Sure they had cool little shampoos with designer labels rather than ones with the name of the hotel on the containers. But even my room decor wasn't much better than where I usually stay.
Oh wait, there were a few more little stands to put my luggage on than usual. My pillows, though, were a little more than a square of fluff and I woke with a neck ache every night. But you had to pay $8 a day for the phone, even when we didn't ask for it.
Every day, they sent us messages about places to spend our money in the casino. We had to listen to them to delete them. If not, a bright red beacon flashed brightly when we had the lights out.
I wanted to connect up and check e-mails while I was there. Most of the places I stay have free wireless or fast speed Internet in the rooms.
Not there. It was $5.95 for 24 hours. I had the six bucks, but it was the point of it all. Six dollars times 365 days in a year equals $2,190. Multiple that by all the rooms and the Internet is one big money maker for the hotel.
And do you think we got any free or discount breakfast tickets? No way. We had many choices for breakfast, all that came to more than I spend on meals at home for an entire day.
There was no little coffee maker in the room, but there were six Starbucks in the complex. I do not always use the little coffee maker since it is usually put in the bathroom. But in a nice hotel room, they should have a nice setup for that.
The other thing about nicer hotel rooms is the water glasses are actually glass. Thanks to TV exposes, I am afraid to drink out of them.
I am actually not that comfortable in hotel rooms. I worry what I might not be seeing because I don't take my black light along to spot things. Probably for the best.
In the end, I am just as content in cheaper hotels. I usually try and spend a little time as possible in my rooms anyway. I am traveling for a purpose. Don't get me wrong, I have had some bad experiences in my travels. But for the most part, I have been lucky.
I get to settle in for a while with nothing on my travel horizon.
Happy Thanksgiving to all who read our paper and pass it on to those who don't.

Company Joins Department of Labor, Department of Veterans Affairs to Create Career Opportunities for Veterans and Reservists
JOPLIN, Mo. - September 24, 2008
Con-way Truckload, a full-truckload carrier and subsidiary of Con-way Inc. (NYSE: CNW), today announced that it has become a participant in the U.S. Department of Labor National Apprenticeship Program, which permits eligible veterans and active members of the Guard and Reserves to receive paid on-the-job training using GI Bill benefits.
Con-way Truckload, a full-truckload carrier and subsidiary of Con-way Inc. (NYSE: CNW), today announced that it has become a participant in the U.S. Department of Labor National Apprenticeship Program, which permits eligible veterans and active members of the Guard and Reserves to receive paid on-the-job training using GI Bill benefits.
The program enables military veterans who choose to start truck driving careers with Con-way Truckload to use their GI Bill benefits to supplement their income in the first year of employment, which is considered an apprentice period during which new drivers fulfill a series of skills qualification, training and safe driving performance milestones as a condition of continued employment. Qualifying veterans or reservists can receive up to an additional $1,000 a month in tax-free GI Bill benefits under this apprenticeship program during their first year with Con-way Truckload.
All candidates must have a valid commercial driver's license (CDL) and a minimum level of truck driving experience to be considered for entry-level employment with Con-way Truckload. As drivers progress through training and safe driving milestones during their first year, they qualify for pay increases. Upon successful completion of the full-year apprentice program, drivers graduate to the top pay rate.
"Programs like Con-way Truckload's VA Apprenticeship Program go a long way toward improving the state's economy - we need more of these programs and more companies to participate," said Chad Schatz, director of the Veterans Education and Training Section/Missouri State Approving Agency, Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. "GI Bill programs also help veterans and their dependents live a better lifestyle and, obviously, they've earned it."
In addition to National Apprenticeship Program participation, Con-way Truckload also offers an accelerated pay increase schedule to veterans with documented military truck driving experience. After the first month, following a successful performance evaluation, the company upgrades their pay level to that of drivers with one year of experience.
"At Con-way Truckload, we greatly value current and former military employees for their consistently extraordinary work ethic, discipline and dedication," said Herb Schmidt, president, Con-way Truckload. "This program provides a prime opportunity for those candidates to get the financial support to help them embark on a great new career with us, while we benefit from access to this pool of highly desirable new drivers. It is a tremendously valuable program for both military members and U.S. employers."
"Making the transition from military to civilian life can be difficult for many soldiers," said Michael Osborn, a Con-way Truckload driver and veteran of service in the U.S. Air Force. "I consider myself fortunate to work for a company that provides employees with options such as the VA Apprenticeship Program. The supplemental income I received during my training with Con-way Truckload was invaluable to my family during that time."
Con-way Truckload, in conjunction with five accredited truck driving schools, also offers a formalized driver training program for veterans or reservists who want to become professional truck drivers but do not have their CDL and baseline experience.
Veterans or reservists interested in joining Con-way Truckload's apprenticeship program should contact a company recruiter at 866-WORK-4-US (866-967-5487).
The GI Bill was originally enacted in 1944 to assist returning World War II veterans. Congress revamped it in 1984, when it became known as the Montgomery GI Bill.

(NYSE: CNW) and a leading provider of expedited, time-definite full-truckload transportation services across North America. Formerly Contract Freighters, Inc.

It's a bird — it's a plane — it's a foot stool — it's an antique fan — it's our woddity of the week — a vintage Vornado step stool/fan combination that Pam found listed in the Salvation Army's Ebay store. Even if you're not quite sure how to classify this vintage multi-tasker, you can be sure that it is unlike any stool or antique fan we've ever featured on the blog. One has to wonder — who decided to marry a stool and fan into one design? Honestly the idea had never occurred to me — but now that I see it — it makes some sense. Update: Thanks to readers who immediate told us, this is called a "hassock" fan — and they were not uncommon in the days before central and window air conditioning.
The placement of this fan must help keep the metal stool sturdy, with all the extra weight and bracing that it provides.
It appears that this antique fan can be pivoted to create breezes any which way. At 16.5 inches in diameter and 18.5 inches tall, I don't really envision many people using this stool on a table top for a fan — seems a little large to me — but instead as a floor fan that circulates the cool air that has "dropped" to the floor.
The company's identifying logo — in an awesome vintage font — is pressed into the fan near the control knob. Apparently this fan has four speeds.
Antique fan designs are very collectible
We think that antique and vintage fans from the 20th century are quite collectible — and they are *relatively* easy to find, since air conditioning was not very common until… when? the 1980s? Pam owns a wonderful, built-like-a-tank Kenmore fan — the kind you'd put on the floor, it's quite large. Vornado fans may be the the most collectible. Do we have an readers who are experts in this area of collecting? Pray tell!
Vornado is still in business, making fans and other air conditioning devices. Every once in a while, they come out with a retro inspired design. But we don't see anything like that available right now. So, if you like the look — and all that steel!— it seems that vintage is the way to go. Be sure to get the wiring checked by a properly licensed professional.
A special thanks goes out to Ebay seller salvationarmywashingtonarc for allowing us to use their photos of this wonderful piece of design from the way back time machine days. Wanna add it to your collection? Here's your chance:

I just saw one similar to this today on ebay. My great grandmother had a fan/footstool in her house and I thought it was so neat–but hers was gray, not this rusy brown. I think I'd like one of these now–it'd be nice in tandem with my window AC unit.
Also called hassock fans. I just bought one for a speaker stand with lovely grill work. I also just found a picture of myself as a toddler sitting in front of the one I always remembered. Love hassock fans.
My grandparents also had something similar, but with a smooth top and bottom. Footstool? End table? In battleship grey, just like the poster above commented. I bet you it's still in Oma's attic…
I've always had a hassock fan, or two, for the living room in the summer. Getting the cooler air off the floor and into the air is ideal, especially during the day when the windows are closed up.
I used to see these a lot at estate sales in Nebraska… pretty much every one which didn't have a ceiling fan or air conditioner! With A/C being so common now, I don't see them much anymore.
My first job was in retail after high school at Two Guys discount department store. They were owned by the parent company of Vornado. The stores closed in 1981, but the parent company is still around and a big commercial real estate outfit.
The Original Vornado fans like the hassock fan in this post were made between 1946 and 1958 by the A.O Sutton Corp. When A.O Sutton got out of business the Two Guys Department Store of New Jersey bought the rights to the Vornado name and used it as their house brand. I have seen Vornado Steam Irons, Transistor Radio's, Christmas Tree Lights, Blenders, Ice Crushers, and of course fans. I would love to know just how many products they slapped that name on. Later on Two Guys changed its name to Vornado Realty and as stated even thought Two Guys as a store has been out of business since 1981 Vornado realty is alive and living.
So THAT's how the Vornado name started showing up on all those other appliances. Always wondered that……..
Prices on these have gotten high for good reason, they're REALLY good. I have one of these Hassock fans, and if you don't have central air, they're a summer life saver. Mine moves cool air from bedroom (where the window unit is) to living room. Very effective, and MUCH more powerful than modern fans you buy.
Even better are the Vornado (A.O. Sutton, that is….) window fans. One of these will really cut down on AC usage in the summer. There is a nice guy in Wisconsin (I believe) with a restoration company called "Crescent Industries" (www.rcrescent.com) who repairs them. Well worth the postage getting it there. He does great work.
oh my goodness I've never seeing anything like it here! thanks for sharing
We had a hassock fan when I was a kid but it was a different design…battleship gray or dark brown. We always fought over who got to sit on it…it basically only cooled our legs that way.
I love fans…can't even sleep without the sound of one. Just bought a little '50s cutie aqua Zero from eBay a few weeks ago…pricey but it looks brand new. It's like the little sister of the blue Eskimo I got years ago at the flea.
Many years ago I used to have the best workhorse of a fan a friend dug out of her garage for me during a heatwave..a big square box fan with a totally broken grill…but, it was powerful & cooling & lulled me to sleep & drowned out noisy neighbors…I loved that it sounded just like a vintage plane…I even called it the B52. I was rather upset when it finally gave up the ghost…hmm, might need to find one just like it.
Tammy both your Zero and your Eskimo Fan were made by the same company, Bersted Manufacturing, so they truly are sister fans.
Hassock fans tended to keep the air down at the floor beacuse the blade was fixed horizontally. This one is kind of unique because the fan pivots in different directions allowing the direction of air upward. They were meant to be used as footstools not stepstools which I think would be dicey as the metal housing is probably not designed to support the full weight of a person. Nice styling! No one seems to want to clutter up their floors these days but fans still serve a purpose, escpecially when it's not hot enough for the AC.
They need to make "new" the old styles, this would sell like crazy!!!
We just got one of these from my husband's cousin but ours is by General Electric and a very light grey color. She inherited her mom's house and is cleaning out all the old things (most seem to making their new home in our house!). When I saw it at her house the 1st time, it was love at first sight!
I buy these floor fans whenever I see them at tag sales. They work great and are very quiet.
Neat fan! Probably a three speed (one of those settings would likely be "Off").
I had to double check, but yes, Vornado is the sponsor of a fan museum which my son and I went to. There are some REALLY cool ones there! http://www.vornado.com.au/content/fan-museum
The current Vornado fan company was started in 1989 to manufacture a modern interpretation of the "classic" Vornado fans.
My grandparents had a hassock fan. I would rush to sit on in when I got home from elementary school in the '60s. The air would catch under my dress and really cool me off in those days before air conditioning.
Wow, I thought I had seen everything but I've never heard of that. Very cool!!
This would be great to put your feet up on while you're going to the bathroom in the summer.
We had two hassock fans when I was a kid (in the 50s and 60s); however, they were square and made of blond wood with open horizontal slats in the sides. The fan stayed horizontal, and I remember that I loved to sit on them when it was hot because they blew air up and around the seat top and my hair would blow up into the air. They were great for staying cool. I have no idea where they went, but I wish I had one of them now!
I'm just so happy you used the word "hassock." I grew up only knowing that word to reference a footstool. I miss it!
I am just now seeing this post but it made me smile! I have a floor fan that was distributed by JCPENNY back in the 60's and it is in perfect working order and is POWERFUL! It cools down a entire room and has that perfect retro look!
Love it!
My son and I stopped by an estate sale yesterday – not exactly a granny ranch, but close. In the basement my son said "Mom, look at this cool thing, what is it?" "oooo, it's a hassock fan!" said I (having just been looking at this post a few days before). At $12.50, it is now ours! It is that industrial mottled blue-green color on the top and cone-shaped shell holding the motor, stainless rings making up the sides. It sits on three u-shaped legs of slender stainless tubing. It is called "Wizard Hassock" (no additional brand noted). We're moving to a MCModest home on Thursday – no AC! We're going to love this.
We have this great Vornado table model similar to tese photos. Helped cool off our AC-less home growing up, though the trees, flat roof overhangs and 1 mile from a lake in the burbs helped us keep cool as well. This looks great standing still and is very functional. http://www.vintagefans.com/gallery/other_fans/1955-58vornado%20Turnabout.html

I was wrong! I had hand tightened a Platypus Hoser to the Sawyer and it felt like it was sealing, but after comparing the threads of the Hoser with the Sawyer bag, I did a real-world test and it leaks. Of course the leak runs right down the side of the filter and would drop dirty water straight into any container below. Testing several Platy bags that I have, most bottomed out with the Platy neck at a noticeable angle in the filter housing-- NOT good! From what I can see, the Sawyer filter and Platypus bags are NOT compatible. I think repeated use would eventually damage the threads on the filter and I don't recommend using the Platypus products on the dirty water end, even if you can get a good seal. It's too bad, as that would really extend the options with the Sawyer. As you can see from the photo, the Sawyer threads are closer together, a finer pitch thread.Sawyer on the left, Platy on the right.
Edited by dwambaugh on 10/22/2011 08:05:02 MDT.
thats good to know about the bags. my main reason for buying this filter wouldbe speed. i currently wait for chems/(hike carrying a few extra pounds for 30 min). If im forced to use those bags, i think i'll stay with what i got: Homemade carbon filter + bleach.
The speed and weight were my rationale for buying it. It is close to a Steripen for weight and free of the battery issues, but still prone to mechanical issues like the bag breaking or the filter clogging. I can't imagine someone not wanting to roll the bag as it empties. Looks like we should avoid hard crumpling of the bag.
@Martin:I did not intentionally attempt backflush in the field, but I managed to *unintentionally* backflush quite a bit by being a klutz - ended up squirting quite a bit of water back into the Sawyer bag. I have since backflushed it at home with a clean 1L Platy to prepare for storage. There's a little bit of water that comes under the edge of the cap (where it meets the filter) when backflushing under pressure (as hard as I could squeeze), but not much (most of the water goes through), and no leakage between the taped caps.I should point out that while this has turned out to be pretty robust so far, I didn't just assume it would be fail-proof. I also carry one 1L Platy fitted with the squirt top that came with the Sawyer system (that I use for handwashing, etc.), so that if the connector failed in the field, I could use that squirt top on the filter to get water into a clean Platypus if needed. I looked at this as a convenience thing because the squirting was irritating - I was surprised it held up so well!I came up with this idea the night before a trip, so there was no time to get a tornado tube (though I had read about them here), but it certainly makes sense to try that. Also, it sounds like you have more skills and tools than I do...
@Dale: Thanks for testing that - that's a real drag that the Platypus bags don't work on the dirty end. I wish Sawyer would develop a stronger bag, or more compatible threads...
I tested using a Platypus 2.5 liter as the dirty water bag, and I did not observe any leaks, despite rolling and squeezing very hard. Also, if I put the Sawyer bag lid on the Platy and squeeze very hard, no air escapes. Some possible reasons my results differ from Dale's:1. My Platy has a slightly courser thread pitch (spacing) than the Sawyer bag, but the threads themselves do not appear to be as thick as the ones in Dale's photos. My Platy was purchased in spring, 2010. It's possible that Dale has an older or newer Platy, and the threads changed slightly at some point.2. My filter has a white washer inside, and I tightened the Platy very snug against it. Maybe the washer is something Sawyer added or changed? Maybe Dale didn't have the Platy as tight?3. Dale wrings his Platys just like Stephen wrings his Sawyer bags. ;)
"My Platy was purchased in spring, 2010. It's possible that Dale has an older or newer Platy, and the threads changed slightly at some point."And/or Sawyer has some variations in tolerances too, just to make this all fun.I tried several Platys, one that is a couple weeks old to me, but who knows how long it was on the shelf. The rest are from a span of years. All are pretty much the same threads except that 34oz Platy "SoftBottle" that has thinner threads (and still doesn't work). My filter has a white washer too. Looks just like a garden hose washer. It makes me feel very special. I'm pretty good mechanically-- automobiles, cars, bikes, boats, appliances and plumbing, and when I tighten a Platy into the filter, it seats at a distinct angle and does not feel right when it starts to tighten down. Every mechanic fiber in my being says "STOP, IT WILL STRIP." Like many things, you could make it work, but I think it would get damaged with use, and when you let all the "use" out, it becomes "useless." :)The Platy on a Sawyer, note the "unnatural" angle:the Sawyer bag on the Sawyer filter and all right with the world:
Hey Dale,The fix is a neoprene washer as stated above. It will allow your Platy threads to seat deeper into the female Sawyer threads and it will grab the Platy threads with no leaks. Cost = 39 cents.
The Platy I have screws straight on to my filter. I don't sense any tendency for it to go on at an angle at all. It's this one:http://cascadedesigns.com/platypus/water-bottles/platy-bottle/productMine isn't as transparent as the photo on that page--just appears to be a standard Platy.I guess the important point of all of this is that if it's going to leak, it will be pretty obvious beforehand. :)
Edited by AndyF on 10/22/2011 20:39:00 MDT.
OK, so I had to try this. Put a recently purchased 2L Platy (what I had intended to use as a dirty bag if the Sawyer bag gave out) on the dirty end of the filter. Not as crooked as Dale's, but still crooked, and leaks after a little while.Guess I'll be babying the Sawyer bags, and maybe ordering some replacements just in case...
Bill wrote, "Hey Dale,The fix is a neoprene washer as stated above. It will allow your Platy threads to seat deeper into the female Sawyer threads and it will grab the Platy threads with no leaks. Cost = 39 cents."I tried it with no washer with the same off-center result. With the items I have on hand, the washer won't be an effective cure in my opinion. I suspect there are a couple variations on threads with the filters and perhaps the Platypus bags and/or I have the wrong side of the bell curve on manufacturing. I really do think that I would eventually damage the filter threads if I continued to use the Platypus bags. Thanks for the tip though!The filter works as advertised with the Sawyer bags. Of course I assumed that I could hook up a Platypus when I felt like it and I had a gravity option in mind too. For now I don't see that as an option and I can't fault Sawyer for that. A proper fitting hose nipple would be a great accessory for Sawyer to sell and would allow all kinds of adaptations from there. I have to see what the hardware store has to offer.
Update:I went to the hardware store and found that the threads are very close to a standard US 3/4" garden hose fittings. I found a couple plastic fittings with 3/4" male garden hose threads and barbed hose fitting on the other end, but the barbed end was too big for use with typical hydration hoses. I'm fairly confident that you could find ones with smaller barbed fittings or something like a 3/4" male hose to 3/8" female pipe bushing, and that would allow using available pipe-to-barbed fittings that come in just about every size imaginable. But....the 3/4" hose threads still aren't a perfect match, as I tried some metal fittings and they were going to strip and I could see that they were doing some damage to the filter threads. These aren't high precision fittings, so it is a real turkey shoot to see what will fit and it still needs some testing under real-world conditions. My take is that the Sawyer threads are proprietary and it is best just to stick with their bags. If you want to use a hose-and-bladder arrangement, the Sawyer filters that come with hose nipples are available.
Indeed.I tested the cap from standard 1.25 L pop bottle. The thread seems to match the Sawyer perfectly.So I took two flexible caps, drilled 6 mm holes in the middle of each one, and crimped a 6 mm eyelet through them (with washer). Worked perfectly to connect the **output** of the Sawyer squeeze filter to a pop bottle.Add a small bit of duct tape doubled over to one bottom corner of the sawyer bag and punch a hole in the duct tape. Add string to suspend the whole system from anything. Fill Sawyer bag, connect to filter inlet, connect filter output to pop bottle, hang up. Walk away and let it filter.This has some potential...Cheers
I took mine out last weekend and was thinking of ways to use it for multiple people too, and then a friend asked how she could use one to support 3.So night before last I hacked out a couple ways to use the Sawyer Squeeze as a multi-person, platy-filling filter system.The top one I pull the nozzle off and slide a tube onto the outlet barb that is exposed. The other end has a Platy adapter. This lets a bottle stand a little easier. (I can use a longer tube too.)The bottom one (like you and others I see) is two Platy caps that I roughed up with some emery cloth on the faces and then glued together with silicone caulk. I drilled a 3/8" hole through the center of both caps. This just lets the Sawyer attach directly to a Platy of any type. I will try it out this weekend.Like you Roger, I was thinking about a gravity application as that has become my favorite these days. For a single user I suppose the 2L bag is enough but I want to figure a way to use something A; bigger capacity, and B; easier to fill.
I have the gravity Sawyer system with the Platy Big zip and thought of converting to this..however....while in the Sawyer website I enlarged the image and noticed the bag said if the filter freezes, discard because it's no good. So...is this true of all the Sawyer filters? And has anyone experienced this with theirs? And why would freezing the filter render it no good? Do they mean even after thawing?

So...is this true of all the Sawyer filters? And has anyone experienced this with theirs? And why would freezing the filter render it no good? Do they mean even after thawing?"Donna, I believe the issue is with the expansion of freezing water rupturing the hollow fibers. My understanding (or at least the way I visualize it--which may be wrong) is that these filters have thin tubes that in turn have a uniform pore size along their walls that actually does the filtering. Expand the water by freezing, and the tubes break, allowing water to leak from the broken fibers rather than being forced to filter through the pores.FWIW, the MSR and Playpus filters that use HFMs also have the same warning. The problem is, is that you would probably not know the filter was damaged as larger particulate matter might still be filtered while the microscopic germs would not...that is, until you get sick.
Edited by BER on 10/26/2011 10:56:34 MDT.
...bursting all the little 0.1 filter fibers. Then all the badies come right through it!
Yeah, Brian is right.Think of a drinking straw made of hard plastic with a bunch of holes poked in it that are sewing pin sized. Those holes are the 0.1 filter holes. If the straw freezes it breaks and lets things larger than 0.1 get into the straw and out to your receptacle.I had to sleep with my Squeeze last weekend and plan to this week too.
It seems like there would be no way to know if it froze unless you put a small water bottle with you in your bag/quilt and the filter. If the water froze, then perhaps the filter did as well.
I'm just curious if anyone uses a prefilter (such as a disk from a gold mesh coffee filter ala this thread ) to keep larger sediment out of the filter? Perhaps putting the disk under the washer inside the inflow of the filter?I've been thinking on the way I manage water filtration, and finally got around to getting this system. It should cut a significant amount of weight compared to the MSR Aultoflow gravity system I'd previously been using.

I'm told reliably:
1. Internal Democratic polls have the race close, with a small and fading Coakley (Dem) lead.
2. One Republican poll, and one poll for an independent group, now actually have Brown (Rep) up by a few points.
3. The Democrats are pouring everything in—one report is that the buy behind this DSCC ad against Brown is close to a million dollars.
The Democratic campaign now consists to a remarkable degree simply of screaming that Brown equals Bush/Republican/right-wing. It could work—or has Brown done a good enough job of introducing himself to Mass. voters that most will shrug this charge off? And are independents more worried about those now in power in D.C.—Obama/Pelosi/Reid—than about the theoretical threat of right-wing Republican governance?

Alright Tim, cut this to 11, here we go!
Alright Tim, cut this to 11, here we go!
Sullinger = ahole
C'mon Timmah. Make those FT's
God nothing pisses me off more than missed free throws, which we do a lot of
Hit your fucking throws man
and free throws...
Cmon, guys. Get your damn heads in the game. No way Hardaway should miss 2 of 3 from the line.
Down by 14, I guess free throws aren't important. You've got to be fucking kidding Hardaway. 1-3 when you get fouled shooting a three.
Novak is currently our hardest working rebounder.
We need to balance our team better from here out. The dead eye shooter concept is too iffy because they usually don't shoot the ball well. We are a poor free throw team and really weak inside. Hard to watch. We have overachieved this year.
Missed free throws, lazy turnovers, poor shooting cannot happen against good teams and expect to win.
Blatant travel by Craft.
Trey and THJ have got to start shooting better at the line.
Stu needs to get a damn talking-to. That was absolutely inexcusable.
Boy if that doesn't sum up this game.
wow Stu. wow.
Oh, Stu....
Dumb ass play by Stu!
Get diarrhea at halftime.
Great fucking job Stu...Go sit on the bench for the rest of the game
what the fuck are you waiting for Stu, shit
Really sums up the first half.
Douglas! You're a senior you need to have that timing down. C'mon man.
Here's my very technical analysis of the first half.
Sullinger: playing great.
Every single player with a Michigan jersey: awful.
Stu can't even fucking get a shot off in time. Ugh.
Add poor clock management from our senior guard.....what a shit show. We look like Pretenders.
but yeah I wouldn't expect her to do any better...
from stupendous to just plain stu-pid.The whole team thus far.
Nice play call coach. Everyone needs to be ass chewed at half.
You idiot, you had all the time in the world. Make up for it in the 2nd half...
nice play by a senior there... hope the new recruits have better basketball iq
Craft allowed to run rampant on D. I'd guess I'd like to see us beat the crap of whoever has the ball too.
here was Purdue's coach Matt Painter after yesterday's game:
"One of their bigs was just grabbing our players out in the open on a ball screen defense and I just pointed it out," Painter said. "I said 'He has both his hands around him.' (the official) stares right at it and ignores him so, I can't repeat what I said to him."
tough shot for stu, you rarely see a guy miss time a shot by so much; there was no doubt the clock ran out before the shot left his hand...
Ya think?
If you're gonna dribble it that much at least get to the basket. With these refs they're gonna call the foul more often than not.
Can we change unis at the half...
And of course a spartan fan calls me to talk shit the moment halftime hit. What a fucking asshole.
Burke's legs are dead. His jumpers are all short and he looks gassed whenever they show a closeup, which is what happens when you play 45 minutes less than 24 hours before another game. We don't have much of a chance unless he finds his second wind at halftime.
~350 posts at half. Time to start a 2nd half thread?
Yuppppp. Love the idea of a fresh thread for a fresh, new half. Great suggestion.
I hope this disgrace fuels some passioned rage we'll get to see in the second half.
can we leave all the trolls in this thread?
there are few things that piss me off more than missed free throws. and not having clock awareness.
I feel like this team frequently gets off to slow starts. Hoping they pick it up in the second half, but you can't beat good teams like this.
May be the worst half I've ever seen from Stu, and that's saying something

Snapchat acts as a stand-in for friends' face-to-face time
Disappearing app cuts online self-humiliation
Disposable images are a central part of Snapchat, a 2-year-old application that enables users to send pictures and videos that delete after a preset number of seconds. The app has exploded in popularity, particularly among teenagers and the post-high-school crowd, in recent months.
In May, a Nielsen survey of smartphone users showed that more than 8 million adults use the app. Although Snapchat doesn't release its total user numbers or demographics, more than 200 million "snaps" are sent every day — more than triple the 60 million per day in February.
Many unfamiliar with the app assume that it is used for sexting, but the central use of Snapchat is to make a funny face or capture a moment of everyday life. According to social media researcher Danah Boyd, the app is challenging some of the basic assumptions of photography and of social media.
''Photography used to be expensive," said Boyd. "What we're now seeing is that plenty of people are using photographs to express small things, just as they use text to do so. The most dominant use of Snapchat is to send a photo that makes someone smile before it disappears."
The knowledge that messages will vanish also frees users from what Cornell Professor Jeff Hancock calls the "digital tattoo." ''If you do something online, it's difficult to remove," he said.
Snapchat sidesteps the issue by building deletion into the hardware of the app. The photos are stored temporarily on the recipient's device and on Snapchat's servers. Once the snap has been viewed and the timer has run out, the image is deleted from both the device and the servers. While taking a screen shot of an image is possible, the sender of the picture is notified, which helps to maintain a level of accountability.
This creates a fundamentally different social media experience, undermining the assumption that everything posted online is important enough to be saved forever in the memory of cyberspace.
''Most interactions that people have with each other are intended to be ephemeral," said Boyd. "They're simply not interesting enough to archive forever. Yet social media is often designed with persistence in mind. It creates a certain kind of awkwardness."
Nicole Ellison, a professor at the University of Michigan, said Snapchat's emphasis on the moment can be freeing for users. "There's less accountability and more freedom of expression," she said. "I can see how other forms of social media might try to incorporate elements of the ephemeral into their tools."
Because users normally send snaps to friends with whom they've already established a certain level of intimacy, the issues of self-representation that arise on platforms like Facebook don't apply.
Compared with the Facebook profile picture, where one's image is cultivated and maintained, Snapchat affords users the freedom to be spontaneous and candid.
In some ways, Snapchat is a step back toward face-to-face communication. Because the content on Snapchat isn't recordable, it is much like speaking on the phone or an in-person conversation. "It mimics everyday physical interaction," said Laura Portwood-Stacer, a visiting professor in the Media, Culture & Communication Department at New York University. "There is no central representation. There is no archive."
''It's the ability to communicate without a trace," said Hancock. "It's going back to communicative roots, where we say things that then disappear. Whether it's Snapchat or something else, I think communication that disappears will stay."
Snapchat is available for download on iOS and Android devices via the Apple App Store or Google Play.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) – A southwestern Indiana jury has acquitted a teenager of murder and robbery charges in the death of a homeless man whose body was found dumped in the Ohio River.
But the Vanderburgh Circuit Court jury was unable to reach a verdict Monday on an obstruction of justice charge filed against 18-year-old William Hurt in Marcus Golike's killing.
Prosecutors must now decide whether to dismiss that charge or retry Hurt on the obstruction charge.
The 54-year-old Golike was a homeless man and friend of Hurt's family who had recently been released from prison when police said he was beaten, strangled and his body dumped in the Ohio River last June.
Golike's body was found June 17 by campers along the river in Kentucky.

Catholic World News - March 03, 2014
Pope Francis received Prime Minister Victor Ponta of Romania in audience on March 1. The prime minister, who assumed office in 2012, conveyed greetings from Patriarch Daniel, the head of the Romanian Orthodox Church.
The Pope and the prime minister discussed "the family, education, religious freedom and the protection of common values," as well as "other open questions … regarding the Catholic community in Romania," according to the Holy See Press Office, which described the conversation as "cordial." In discussing the international situation, both expressed hope that "the path of dialogue and negotiation may be followed to bring an end to the various conflicts."
Following the meeting, the prime minister met with Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican's Secretary of State, and Archbishop Dominique Mamberti, the Secretary for Relations with States.
The Eastern European nation of 22 million is 87% Orthodox and 8% Catholic.
