The Chicago Great Western's Winona Branch
By John C. Luecke
The Winona & Southwestern began in 1888 as part of a new through route between Lake Michigan and Omaha. Over the new three years the tiny railroad was extended from Winona, 113 miles southwest to Osage, Iowa. There the grand scheme of opening a new through route to Omaha came to an end, never to be revived. A mainline that never was, the Winona & Southwestern lived out its existence as a branchline, catering to the small towns along its route, amid the rolling prairies of southern Minnesota.

The Lady Wildcats outscored the Lady Chiefs by five runs, winning 12-7.
Both teams went scoreless in the first inning, and it was Sequoyah which took a 2-1 lead in the second.
Polk County was able to add three more runs in the third, thanks to hits by Lily Cuzzort, Ashlynn Johnson and Felecia Johnson.

Another four runs were added in the sixth inning, with Lydia Triplett knocking in two. Jordan Triplett and Williams also each brought an additional Lady Wildcat home.
Sequoyah was able to get three more runs in the seventh, but that wasn't enough to snag the win away from Polk County.
Jordan Triplett was the winning pitcher with seven strikeouts. She allowed four runs out of seven hits and walked two Lady Chief players.
The Lady Wildcats will be in tournament action at Baylor on Friday and Saturday, weather permitting.

The Prestige of Small Payroll Baseball – Tampa Bay Rays 2008-10
This is the 4th and final article in a series of articles examining how small payroll teams have found success in recent years. The goal is to try and determine what methods were successful in an attempt for the Pirates to emulate them.
Bucs Score Late and Earn Split
The Pirates had nothing going against Javier Vazquez. They'd managed a single run – a solo homer from Delwyn Young – and just one other hit in eight innings. Vazquez had whiffed 12. But when the 9th came, a new pitcher – Rafael Soriano – was on the hill. Andrew McCutchen singled and Adam LaRoche was given a free pass. Those runners eventually wound up at 2nd and 3rd. Andy LaRoche came through with a two...

There are several types of tile blocks in Snayke, each serving a different purpose. They all use the same tile graphic, but their colors are unique enough to still easily distinguish them.
I have had a few other ideas for block types, but most have significant overlap with the current blocks and I want to try to keep the functionality of every block as separate as possible.

Spring Break Service Trips
living and learning beyond our backyard
What are Spring Break Service Trips?
Spring Break Service Trips are week-long volunteer trips that allow Whitman students to focus on a particular social issue outside of the Walla Walla community. It is a great way to have a fun and meaningful spring break, living and learning beyond the Whitman bubble.
Participants volunteer with a primary social organization throughout the week, in addition to visiting and working with other non-profits to gain an understanding of the issues that affect the broader community. Evening activities include opportunities for fun and reflection. Students also have a chance to explore the city or area they are visiting. The groups are often housed at local churches and cook most meals together.
The social issues for this year's Spring Break Service Trips are:
2014 Trips
Relief & Rebuilding (New Orleans, LA)
March 15th - March 22nd
Urban Education (Portland, OR)
March 15th - March 22nd
Refugees & Resettlement (Seattle, WA)
March 22nd - March 30th
Environmental Conservation (Eugene, OR)
March 22nd - March 30th
For additional information, including trip expectations, Service Trip organizations, the deposit, the collateral check, the cancellation and refund policy, the scholarship program, travel arrangements, and other questions, please check out the Spring Break Service Trip FAQs.
You can also e-mail the Whitman service trip interns, Meghan Browne and Riley Foreman, at email@example.com for more information.
What are people saying about Spring Break Service Trips?
"I cannot imagine a better way that I could have spent spring break! In seven days I mastered the art of drilling and drywall, tried foods I didn't even know people ate (alligator), learned more about Katrina, and pushed myself both physically and emotionally."
-Kenna Little (New Orleans 2010), '13
"What a fantastic week! I had a lot of fun pulling up thorny blackberries, learning how to use an electric sander, and helping revitalize some parks. I also loved spending time with everyone and getting to know new friends. This was a great way to spend spring break."
-Liam Mina (Issaquah 2010), '11
"Occasionally a person gets to do something that they can remember as monumental, life-changing, revolutionary, and this has been one of those moments. My service trip to New Orleans has been far more than I ever expected, and something I will not soon forget."
-Nelson Falkenberg (New Orleans 2011), `14
"Milenko [the founder of the Pomegranate Center] has planted seeds of wisdom that will continue to blossom in years to come. Yet this experience that I've shared with my group of compassionate and creative people will thrive beyond this unforgettable week."
-Ngan Huynh (Issaquah 2011), '13
"I feel that it really changed the way I view environmentalism, consumerism, food, and social justice. The ReBuilding Center showed us how crucial community involvement is to success while Zenger farms and CROPS inspired me to get my hands dirty and to fight for social equity. Overall, it was just great!"
-Meredith Kretzler (Portland 2011), '14

Challenge:Five districts in Karnataka, India, were drought-prone and dominated by rain-fed agriculture. Average annual household income for the one million people who lived in the area was approximately US$222. Common lands were deteriorating through poor management. Self-help groups were weak and unable to build financial capital.Results:Soil and water conservation works have been completed on over 200,000 ha, improving average crop yields by about 24 percent and broadening crop diversity.Average annual household income has increased by about 66% to approximately US$373. The increase in average income has contributed to a reduction in migration by about 70 percent. Young men no longer have to leave the community to find work.> Self-help groups, which have flourished with project support; have already mobilized more than US$4 million in savings to help establish small businesses. The majority of members are women. More than 60 percent of the self-help groups are now linked to commercial financial institutions, leveraging additional credit for larger enterprise start-ups. Money-lenders are no longer a major force in these communities.Read More
" I have learnt how to make bunds along the contours of my fields to conserve water and prevent the top soil from being washed away by the rain, "
For years, all Somanna could grow on the coarse dry soil of his eroded fields was millet – and that too, only one crop during the rains– barely enough for his family's subsistence. In the lean season, when no crops would grow, Somanna was left with no other option but to migrate to nearby Hubli town to search of work as a daily wage laborer.> The training and assistance given by the World Bank supported Karnataka Watershed Development Project, also known as 'Sujala' – or 'good water' has turned his life around. "I have learnt how to make bunds along the contours of my fields to conserve water and prevent the top soil from being washed away by the rain," he adds pointing to the vast stretches of arid brown hills rolling away in the distance. (Read More)
" Although the past few monsoons have brought very little rain, I haven't been worried at all. I now have enough water in my well to keep my fields green."
"Three consecutive years of drought had dried up the water in my well, making it difficult for me to grow anything," he adds, echoing the insecurity of farmers on unirrigated lands who have to wait for uncertain monsoon clouds to breathe new life into withered soil.> Gundappa's new-found sense of security stems from a small check dam that has been built by the 'Sujala' project across a nearby stream. The cement and stone check dam –looking somewhat like a speed breaker - has slowed the seasonal torrent of water that rages downstream during the monsoon rains. (Read More)
"Rice yields have also gone up – from 20 quintals per acre earlier to some 30 – 35 acres now. Earlier we used 30 kg of seeds to plant one acre of paddy, now we use only 2 kg."
Young farmer Mahesh is the son of an Ayurvedic doctor - a practitioner of traditional medicine - who is renowned across the region for his ability to cure skin ailments and treat deadly snake bites with local herbs. Young Mahesh is also the secretary of the Sujala Sangha, the farmers' association formed under the World Bank assisted 'Sujala' project in Karnataka.> To reduce water consumption in growing rice – the staple foodgrain of the area - the farmers of the Sangha are shifting away from the old method of growing paddy which needs copious amounts of water to flood the fields. Instead, with training received under the project, they are adopting the new the Madagascar method– known locally as 'Jalashri'– that requires 70 percent less water and also gives higher yields.

"I first took a loan to buy one goat. Now my goat has given birth to two more."
Being landless, Rukma and her husband Nagappa continue the Lambani tradition of rearing sheep for a living. "Our Lambani people have always been herders of goats and sheep," says Rukma with a sense of pride in the community's ancestral vocation.> The Renuka Women's Self Help Group (SHG) set up by the 'Sujala' project has helped Rukma to increase her flock of goats and get them insured. "I first took a loan to buy one goat," she says. "Now my goat has given birth to two kids," she adds. "My husband and I have also been able to earn some extra money by helping to construct bunds under the project on farmers' lands nearby."With rising incomes, Rukma and her family no longer migrate to the neighboring state of Goa in search of work as construction labor. Her new-found sense of empowerment has also fueled her desire to learn: "I want to be able to read and write. I also want my daughter to get a regular job when she grows up," she says.
"I started with three sheep. In three years time, I increased my flock to seven sheep and a calf."
Sentakamma and her family have always been landless agricultural laborers. To supplement the family's income, Sentakamma first took a loan from the local women's Self Help Group to buy a few sheep. "I started with three sheep," says this enterprising Dalit woman from Uttanoor village in Karnataka. "In three years time, I increased my flock to seven sheep and a calf," she adds proudly. Apart from wool, Sentakamma also earns money by selling manure to local farmers who value it to fertilize the soil.

neptune 44, You are right. It is indeed the "blue light" clematis. I have been bitten by the clematis bug and have close to 40 different varieties in my 1 acre property. Sometimes get confused with the names. My wife thinks I am crazy. LOL. |
Thanks Neptune. |

LOS ANGELES, June 27, 2011 — A worthless organization designed to elect political leftists is convening a conference in Tampa, Florida. Hopefully Tampa will be given a good scrubbing so that it is non-toxic in time for the 2012 Republican Convention.
From June 24-26, the National Organization for Women infested a nice part of Florida. Some delegates may be trying out for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but most are there for their annual conference, where they cry on each other's oversized shoulder pads and insist that they are relevant.
One look at the lineup of speakers should relegate NOW's relevance claim to the ash heap of history, along with New Coke and taco-flavored lip gloss (one of my brilliant but failed ideas). Here are their conference profiles, edited only for length:
1.) Marleine Bastien is founder and executive director of Fanm Ayisyen Nan Miyami, Inc. (FANM, Haitian Women of Miami) … appearing on the Oprah Winfrey Show to lend her expertise to a discussion of the devastating effect that prolonged detention at Guantánamo had on Haitian children.
Analysis: Let the terrorists loose in Tampa during the NOW Convention and see how the attendees like it.
2.) Sam Bennett - In November 2008, Bennett ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in Pennsylvania's 15th district. Though ultimately losing her race to incumbent Charles Dent, she obtained more votes than any other Democratic candidate in the district's history. In 2004, she took the position of Lehigh Valley Regional Field Director for America Coming Together (ACT), a non-partisan voter registration group.
Analysis: America Coming Together calls itself non-partisan despite being a left-wing George Soros project. Many votes means nothing. The woman ran and lost.
3.) Melanie Campbell is the president and CEO of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation. She is a member of the inaugural class of the Progressive Women's Voices at the Women's Media Center.
Analysis: There is no word on whether she considers Clarence Thomas or Condoleeza Rice to be black or female.
4.) During her 27 years as a Tampa Police officer, Chief Jane Castor … was named Law Enforcement Executive of the Year by the National Association of Women Law Enforcement Executives.
Analysis: This woman has held a real job. That makes one.
5.) Kate Dillon is known in the fashion industry as a groundbreaker and passionate advocate for humanitarian and environmental causes. Her experiences as a mother and wife further solidify her respect for women all over the world.
Analysis: Sarah Palin is a wife and mother who loves the environment. No word on how Ms. Dillon feels about Governor Palin.
6.) Lois Frankel is running for the U.S. House of Representatives in one of the most important congressional races in 2012 - Florida's 22nd District. Her opponent, incumbent freshman Allen West, is a Tea Party favorite who has voted to destroy Medicare and let oil companies keep their deficit-busting tax loopholes.
Analysis: I wonder if Melanie Campbell believes that black civic participation means supporting Colonel Allen West. I am not sure what big oil and Medicare have to do with any gender issues.
7.) Latanya Mapp Frett is vice president for Planned Parenthood Federation of America's International Division …
Analysis: By ensuring as many abortions as possible as quickly as possible, she is the raison d'etre for NOW to exist.
8.) NAACP Legal and Education Fund … She is a founder of the Women's Equity Action League and Federally Employed Women, a charter member of Veteran Feminists of America, and was one of the longest-serving members of the Board of Trustees of the National Woman's Party.
Analysis: Jack of all trades, master of few that matter.
9.) Gabi Gregg - After graduating college in 2008, Detroit native Gabi Gregg created the blog "Young Fat & Fabulous." In the post "Every Body is a Bikini Body," Gregg declared: "Newsflash: you don't have to lose weight to look good in a swimsuit. I hate the message that only certain bodies are allowed to wear bikinis or be on a beach."
Analysis: Ask her how she feels about 300 pound NFL linebackers showing up after practice at the NOW convention wearing thongs. Not everybody is a bikini body. Nobody wants to see my dad's chest scar from open heart surgery.
10.) Nancy Hogshead-Makar is one of the foremost exponents of gender equity in education - including sports participation, sexual harassment, employment, pregnancy and legal enforcement under Title IX. In 2009, she brought a successful legal challenge against the Florida High School Athletic Association, whose cuts to competitive seasons discriminated against female athletes.
Analysis: Colleges are canceling their football programs to avoid lawsuits from the women's bowling teams and every other group with any popular support. The free market works. The Tennessee Women's Basketball Coach is a Republican. She won on the basketball court without crying to the real courts.
11.) Patricia Ireland - Today Ireland continues fighting for social justice, in her professional work - as a labor attorney in Miami, she represents unions and their members - and in her volunteer activism.
Analysis: She gets paid to call Governor Rick Scott the devil while exploiting the proletariat. How liberal.
12.) Dr. Nancy Klimas—A Professor of Medicine, Psychology, and Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Dr. Klimas has worked on behalf of women and women's health care for more than a quarter of a century.
Analysis: She has a real job. That makes two.
13.) Celinda Lake is a prominent pollster and political strategist for Democrats and progressives.
Analysis: Useless but harmless.
14.) Katie Makkai - In addition to poetry, Makkai also writes humorous short stories about her experiences as a woman navigating the social and political terrain of civil service. Makkai asserts that no competition or professional work compares with helping to teach poetry to juvenile criminal offenders through "Art from Ashes" from 2000-2004.
Analysis: Are you (redacted) kidding me? Really? I mean, really? Wow. The long historical track record of converting rapists to nice boys through poetry is well known. Just kidding. Oh, and really? I could not make up this woman's biography if I tried.
15.) Sara Manzano-Díaz - From 1995 to 2002, Manzano-Díaz worked at the Department of Housing and Urban Development as deputy general counsel for Civil Rights and Litigation.
Analysis: HUD is a disaster only a civil rights lawyer and Barney Frank could love. Perhaps she could sue George W. Bush for the housing collapse despite black home ownership peaking on his watch in 2007.
16.) Sheila Overton, M.D., a board certified OB/GYN, co-founded a teen pregnancy and STD prevention program in Los Angeles in 1997 and served as its chairperson for over a decade. A graduate of UCLA Medical School, Dr. Overton received The Los Angeles Commendation for Excellence in Women's Health in Los Angeles County in 2000.
Analysis: She has a real job. That makes three.
17.) Dr. Maya Rockeymoore is president and CEO of Global Policy Solutions, a social change strategy firm based in Washington, D.C. Rockeymoore previously served as vice president of research and programs at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, senior resident scholar for health and income security at the National Urban League, and chief of staff to Representative Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), among other positions.
Analysis: She worked for Charles Rangel. Maybe she taught minorities that taxes were only for oppressive white men to pay. Then again, Timothy Geithner never paid his. I wonder if she knows that tax cheats hurt her constituents.
18.) Pat Schroeder decided to run for Congress from Denver, Colo., in 197 2… In 1984 and 1988, she co-chaired Gary Hart's campaigns for president. When Hart left the race in 1988, Schroeder explored running herself and discovered the country wasn't yet ready for a woman president.
Analysis: Whenever a liberal fails, they claim victimhood and blame the glass ceiling. Perhaps she was just a lousy candidate, which says a lot for Democrats in 1988. No word on how she feels about Michele Bachmann or Sarah Palin.
19.) Pam Spaulding is the editor and publisher of Pam's House Blend, honored as "Best LGBT Blog" in the 2005 and 2006 Weblog Awards. The Blend - which ranks in the top 50 progressive political blogs - was launched in July 2004 as a personal response to the anti-gay state of the political landscape.
Analysis: Now that gay marriage is gaining acceptance in many circles, can she shut up (complaining) and shut down (the blog)? If she wants to see real bigotry, try being a Jewish Republican.
20.) Eleanor Smeal - Founder and president of the Feminist Majority Foundation … Smeal has pushed to make Social Security and pensions more equitable for women, and to realign federal priorities by developing a feminist budget. Smeal and FMF were the first to draw world attention to the Taliban's brutal treatment of women in Afghanistan.
Analysis: A feminist budget? Again, really? Assuming she really does care about women in Afghanistan, did she ever praise George W. Bush for liberating them? Will she criticize Barack Obama for all but ensuring that the Taliban returns to use their women as Pinatas?
21.) Olga Vives - An outspoken leader in the feminist movement for decades, Olga Vives served as NOW's executive vice president from 2005-2009 and action vice president from 2001-2005. During her tenure at the National NOW Action Center, Vives took the lead on major events and issues, such as the 2004 March for Women's Lives, naming Wal-Mart a Merchant of Shame, advocating for equal marriage and promoting justice for immigrant women. Vives worked on campaigns to elect women's rights supporters to all levels of government, including the campaign that elected Carol Moseley-Braun as the first African-American woman in the Senate. She also participated in efforts to block the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Vives is a coalition builder.
Analysis: She is a coalition builder who hates Clarence Thomas and thinks Walmart is the enemy. I wonder if she knows that Mosely-Braun set back her race and gender by getting caught up in a corruption scandal so bad that a conservative white male Republican won the next election in liberal Illinois.
So for those keeping score, three out of the 21 women have held real jobs, which is almost 15%. Even Gloria Allred looks relevant and successful next to these women.
A real conference for women would include women with actual accomplishments that matter.
Sarah Palin ran an entire state successfully. Nikki Haley is doing so now. Michele Bachmann took in 23 foster children while running a business as a tax attorney. This was before entering Congress and becoming a serious presidential contender.
Dr. Condoleeza Rice is a former Secretary of State, National Security Advisor, Provost at Stanford, and accomplished classical pianist (in addition to loving the NFL, which the NOW may wish to pretend to learn about).
Phyllis Schlafly has enacted real change as the head of the Eagle Forum.
Tanya Metaksa was a top executive with the National Rifle Association (which more than any other organization has stopped rapists in their tracks).
Margot Dorfman is the CEO of the U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce. Before that she held real jobs.
Pat Summitt is one of the most successful coaches in any sport in history.
Jeanine Pirro is a tough New York prosecutor who stands up for the rights of women against male predators.
Including any or, better yet, all of these women would give the NOW some real credibility. The NOW won't, which is why they don't. This is why their conference is just more sniveling, crying, left-wing activism and crusading about the "unfair" aspects of life.
It is totally sensible to have enormous respect for real women while having utter contempt for the NOW. Their convention is in the books, filed under an "asterisk." Their members deserve no better.

Having been the buzzword of the 2007 Detroit auto show, we'd figured the production form of the 2010 Chevrolet Volt would make its debut at next year's Detroit show.; Not so, says Britain's Channel 4; Chevy's plug-in electric hybrid will bow at the Paris Motor Show in September.
Considering the Volt will reportedly be shown in its U.S.-spec trim, its overseas unveiling may seem odd but could prove to be a PR blessing for Chevrolet's European operations.; While the Volt may not make it to showrooms across the pond, the crush of journalists from our side of the pond could make Chevrolet's stand one of the busiest at the Paris show.; The car may increase attention to other Chevy offerings - most notably a new sedan for Europe, built from the same next-generation Delta platform as the Volt.
Europeans shouldn't ignore the car outright; although the Volt itself may not cross the pond, GM has hinted (via Opel and Saab concepts) that its E-Flex hybrid powertrain design just may.

Bean Salads
Chickpea and Carrot Salad with Parsley and Olives
This adaptation of a traditional Middle Eastern salad has a great combination of flavors and textures. I especially like it with Middle Eastern- or Spanish-themed meals; though it can be a nice foil for any mild-flavored dish, as well — try it with Pasta with Vegan Alfredo Sauce. more→
Spinach, Artichoke, and Chickpea Salad
A feast of color and texture, this salad of baby spinach, embellished with other colorful veggies, is quick to prepare and a pleasure to serve. Serve it in larger portions as a main-dish salad, or in smaller portions as a substantial side salad. Delicious served with a pureed vegetable soup and some fresh bread. Photos by Rachael Braun.
Contemporary Three-Bean Salad
Classic three-bean salad gets a contemporary twist with balsamic vinegar, cilantro, and sunflower seeds. It's an easy salad you can enjoy year round, but is a special favorite to serve with summer outdoor meals and your plant-based barbecued proteins. Photos by Lori Maffei. more→
Black Bean Salad with Tomatoes, Olives, and Croutons
This easy and appetizing bean and tomato salad adds color and crunch to any meal. Use gluten-free croutons if need be, or replace with sautéed cubes of prepared polenta. It's delicious with grain dishes and pastas, or simple quesadillas or soft tacos. Add some sautéed greens or steamed broccoli and you've got a great weekday meal! Adapted from Vegan Express. Photo by Susan Voisin, FatFree Vegan Kitchen. more→
Black Bean and Corn Salad
Corn and bell peppers look enticing against the dark backdrop of the black beans in this Southwestern-inspired salad. Double the recipe for a great potluck dish for a crowd. more→
Black Bean and Avocado Salad with Oranges or Mango
Black beans, diced mango, and avocado taste heavenly together in this delicious salad. Fresh, perfectly ripe mangos are best, of course, but they're not always in season and occasionally unreliable. Once in a while I like to take the guesswork out of mangos and use canned (organic), which is akin to using canned pineapple—you know exactly what you're going to get. Otherwise, tiny clementine sections work well to give little bursts of fruity flavor. more→
Three-Bean Pasta Salad
Adding pasta to the popular three-bean salad combo gives it a contemporary twist. more→
Orzo and Black Bean Salsa Salad
Bursting with Southwestern flavors, this pasta salad, made with tiny rice-shaped orzo, is as flavorful as it is easy to make. It features corn, prepared salsa and lots of cilantro.

with the women seemingly "courting" the man instead of the other way around I still believe Prayer Points To Find A Husband there are some unalterable basic things that keep all men wanting prayer to find love more.

- Will you have separate bank accounts or a joint bank account? How much debt does each person have and how will you deal with it as a married couple? It is essential to be on the same page when it comes to handling money because such disagreements are often the cause of divorce
- When a woman is attracted to the man the need to know is even ore intense
- Before people talking about their innermost secret hear they usually first try to determine whether the listener could accept or not
- In case he gets a raise or promotion make sure you offer him props
. Admit your mistake This is the best thing which can answer your question about how to get a guy and keep him.

I'm probably still high...
Verified Purchase
I'm probably still high from just getting my pen. I got a Kuretake no.13, and
it's just been an absolute joy to use.
But this is the ink, not the pen. Personally, I got the pen for art rather than writing, though I've found it fun for that too. At first, I ordered some of the platinum carbon ink because I'd read Kuretake's included ink is not water proof at all. And it isn't! But it was only after placing the order that I realized just how cool it'd be that it wasn't. And when I tried it out, I was absolutely right. I'm totally awesome. Make a drawing with the pen, then take another brush (or anything else that can carry and smear around water) and paint using the ink that's already on the paper. Extremely fun. I just wish that Kuretake produced this ink outside of the cartridges, because I think I'd rather use a syringe or a converter, long term. So it would be 5 stars for being awesome, but it's 4 for coming only in cartridges, not in bottles. (Though I would gladly revise my review if I did find bottles of it.) 3 people found this helpful

Hello, and a wonderfull...
Hello, and a wonderfull (whatever daytime you might be reading this...)
The Kuretake Brush Pen Refill Ink, suitable for nearly all Kuretake Fountain Brush Pens, is one of the most saturated black inks I have worked with A lot of people mention the disadvantage of "not being waterproof", but this does not matter, really. It is a deep, neutral, saturated black, which I use a lot for all the colouring and shading in dark parts, which even looks great in washing effects with a dipped brush. A lot of people tell you, not to use them because they are not waterproof, but try these cartridges, it might be well worth it. And the price is sensational. If you want to work with these pens on a watercoloured picture, use the watercolour first, then this ink. And if you are in need of Black lines, draw thin ones with a waterproof ink first, then brush later. And, a problem nearly everyone seems to mention and seems to have with brushpens.... even if you do not find a converter and want to use a different ink than the original one.... use a Syringe. The normal cartridges have a larger capacity of ink anyway than most converters. I never buy converters, not for Lamy fountain pens not for any brush pen, just a needle, a syringe and the desired ink.... works perfectly. "Happy painting!" (Bob Ross, R.I.P.)

Nice saturated ink, flows...
Verified Purchase
Nice saturated ink, flows really well too. My favorite thing about this
cartridge is the small metal ball that sits at the opening -- when you snap the
cartridge into a pen, the ball is forced up into the reservoir where it bounces
around and keeps the ink mixed! Really good design.

I love this ink. It is black and flows well. And the price for 5 of them is
pretty reasonable.

This ink is really lovely...
Verified Purchase
This ink is really lovely to work with. It's a deeply saturated, neutral black,
yet is also transparent. It really works well for watercolor work and sumi
painting, alongside just being nice on its own. Using water, you can get some
nice gradient effects rather easily (unlike the Akashiya Kai Watercolor Brush
Pen's ink, which seems like you have to dip and dip in order to get the ink to
lighten), and once the ink dries, you can also paint over it with water to make
lovely shading.
I use this in my Kuretake No. 13 brush fountain pen front section.. as the body portion of the pen has been taken over by the No. 40 nib I bought. The cartridges seat firmly onto the feed, so I don't even require the body portion. Instead, I now have a short pen with lots of control thanks to the cartridge's snug fit. (And in case you're wondering, I use the clear plastic cap that came with my 40 nib to keep my No. 13 nib from drying out. It really is a nifty combo. :D ) Anyway, this review is about the ink, not the pens, and the ink is wonderful for wet media. I don't normally like to buy cartridges, but I will gladly buy these over and over as needed until a bottled version becomes available. |
March 25, 2011
no, this wouldn't work...
Verified Purchase
no, this wouldn't work on the pentel. the hole on this cartridge is much bigger,
i'm pretty sure the ink would just leak everywhere. get the kuretake pen, i
think it's even better than the pentel.

will it work on pentel...
will it work on pentel pocket brushpen?

Great Party Planning Tool: Polyvore
Special events and celebrations such as birthday parties, bridal/baby showers, and weddings require a decent amount of planning – and one of the best things you can do to help streamline the planning process is to create an inspiration board. This will help you visualize what the party will look like and make decisions on what elements work well together and within your overall theme.
You can create inspiration boards a few different ways, but digital boards are always a smart option because of their extreme flexibility – not to mention the fact that there are so many inspirational photos and products to choose from online.
If you don't have training in a graphics program like Adobe Photoshop, not to worry! There's a great solution out there called Polyvore that enables anyone to create virtual inspiration boards just like the Pretty in Pink Bridal Shower and Daisy Baby Shower boards pictured above.
Polyvore is a free web-based application for mixing and matching images from anywhere on the web. It lets you create sets composed of individual images using a surprisingly easy-to-use drag and drop editor. Here's a little more info on how it works.
Next to the boards (or "sets") that you create – Polyvore also lists the individual photos used within the set and their sourcing info, which is one of my favorite features. Sometimes I get so caught up in my search for inspiration that I'll forget where I first found the product or photo, but Polyvore automatically saves that info for you, which makes life so much easier!
Pictured above: Modern Bride 5, Tickled Pink
The bulk of the boards on Polyvore
right now seem to be fashion-related, but this tool works just as well
for parties and weddings, and there already seems to be a lot of
activity in the wedding category in particular. A few examples are
pictured within this post – and you can click here to visit polyvore and start exploring more ideas or creating new themes of your own!

Australia-Korea Foundation
Australia-Korea Early Career Researchers Exchange Program
With the support of AKF, a successful partnership has been forged between the Australian Academy of Science (AAS), the Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) and their Korean counterpart, the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF), formerly the Korea Science and Engineering Foundation (KOSEF),
Together the partners have developed the Australia-Korea Early Career Researchers Program (ECRP) which offers early career researchers from both countries the opportunity to work on collaborative research projects, embedded in their host institution for up to 3 months. The program also involves mentors in the development and evaluation of each project allowing the researchers to engage with leading Australian and Korean researchers in their specific research field.
Australian researchers in Korea 2008
Korean researchers in Australia 2009
In total there have been three exchanges since 2007, the last being from June to August 2009, when four Korean early career researchers were hosted by institutions across Australia. All the participants were pleased to be able to acquire specific knowledge related to their current research, expand areas for future research between their institutions, develop papers for journals and conferences, as well as enjoy valuable cultural experiences and gain many friendships during their stay in Australia. Overall, the program has developed a greater awareness of areas of common research interest and shown where sharing expertise in science and technology can bring mutual benefits.
The return visit of Australian scientists to Korea is planned for July-August 2011.

geographical name \ˌka-lə-ˈfȯr-nyə\Definition of CALIFORNIA
geographical name (Concise Encyclopedia)State, western U.S. Area: 158,633 sq mi (410,858 sq km). Pop. (2009 est.): 36,961,664. Capital: Sacramento. California lies on the Pacific Ocean and is bordered by Mexico and the U.S. states of Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona. It is the largest state in population and the third largest in area, extending about 800 mi (1,300 km) north to south and 250 mi (400 km) east to west. Within 85 mi (137 km) of each other lie Mount Whitney and Death Valley, the highest (14,494 ft [4,418 m]) and lowest (282 ft [86 m] below sea level) points in the 48 contiguous states. California was inhabited originally by Native Americans. The first European coastal expansion took place in 1542–43 when Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo established a Spanish claim to the area. The first mission was established by Junípero Serra at San Diego in 1769. The region remained under Spanish and, after the 1820s, Mexican control until it was taken by U.S. forces in the Mexican War and ceded to the U.S. by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. Though settlement had begun by the U.S. in 1841, it was greatly accelerated by the 1848 gold rush. California was admitted to the union in 1850 as a nonslavery state under the Compromise of 1850. Its already expanding population grew immensely in the 20th century. It has the largest economy of any U.S. state. It has suffered severe earthquakes, most destructively those of San Francisco in 1906 and 1989 and Los Angeles in 1994.

Popcorn Panic has record turnout
By Anthony D. Alonzo Post-Tribune correspondent September 7, 2013 11:26PM
A clear, calm morning with temperatures in the mid-60s greeted a record number of Popcorn Panic participants on Saturday. Coordinators raved about the weather and attendance, and participants generally said the event zone was easier to navigate on foot this year.
Athletes from Valparaiso's Thomas Jefferson Middle School were among the few groups representing older kids and teens. Many area high school squads had committed to meets. So about two-dozen young athletes at varying levels of running — not to mention adolescent growth spurts — carried the banner of city schools at the Panic.
Kylie Ireland, a Jefferson sixth grader, said her fellow runners' season would start weeks later than the high school one. She suggested that the schedule provided advantages such as the chance to hone their skills and be in the hometown event.
A boy crossing the finish line but seemingly not breaking a sweat said "hi" to Ireland and went looking through the crowded plaza for his mom. Official T&H Timing results showed other young teens from the area finishing high among the race's hundreds of participants. They include: No. 19 Carlos Martinez, 13; No. 23 Andrew Smenyak, 14; No. 29 Carl Frey, 13; No. 34 Jessie Mescal, 13; No. 38 Aiden Hostetler, 13; No. 55 Maria Goheen, 12.
Going the extra mile: When Valparaiso residents Todd and Heather Henderlong opened the Extra Mile Fitness Company in the city last year, they had something more in mind than simply setting up an athletic shoe store. The husband-and-wife operators of T&H Timing made a point to share their running know-how with friendly banter in the store.
Todd and Heather met as two individuals who had each participated in races that were coupled with charities. T&H has in turn offered its professional services at comparably low prices for the benefit of the many runs and walks held in Northwest Indiana. An instructional wing of the Extra Mile soon took flight.
Heather Henderlong said one of the store's first classes of runners to advance through training was ready for the Panic. Among a group of adults of varying levels of fitness and running experience, Cassie Emerick and Carrie Ackenhusen identified themselves as "friends from the running group." (And it was said in unison.)
"I had set a goal for myself and I beat it," Emerick said. "I ran in middle school and it's been 20 years and I had stopped until five or six weeks ago, when I started running again."
At Saturday's 5-mile race, Emerick ran a 47:40.6, and Ackenhusen ran a 48:31.5; both had accomplished their mission of crossing the finish line in less than 50 minutes.
Both "born and raised" Valparaiso natives, Ackenhusen, 34, and Emerick, 33, said seeking a mentor in running was essential.
"I would have never been able to (complete the race) without (the training), I know that much," said Ackenhusen. "I was trying to run before I started (at the Extra Mile) and I'd run for a couple of weeks then I'd stop — that's when I decided to join."
The two students of running said the Extra Mile sends trainers in the field to cover topics such as speed work, pacing and adjusting to varying terrain. They help aspiring athletes set and reach goals.
"When I started I was doing 12-minute miles, now I'm doing 9:17-miles," said Ackenhusen.
It's measureable progress that could appeal to almost anyone.
"They make it very fun and it's not intimidating at all," Emerick concluded.

Arcane Brilliance: Mage's guide to patch 4.2 {WoW}
Jun 18th 2011 10:47PM I'm currently wondering if there are any frost raiders out there.
I recently switched to frost from arcane for my questing spec and i've found it both massively easier and more enjoyable (questing-wise). My gear isn't great as this isn't my main but, depending on HS luck, it sometimes pulled more dps than fire. I've been maging for 6 years and never frost for anything other than that TK phoenix, so it's taking a while to get used to all the procs. I now go frost when doing zg (as za timed runs need that extra ~8% dps out of me). I now like frost a ton and am considering raiding as it sometimes.
So i'm wondering what the stat priority for frost is? After the crit cap that is.
The Queue: That Thing {WoW}
Apr 16th 2011 6:45PM Dont know if this is the place to say it but have you guys ever thought about have a "comment of the day" article or something? I read MusedMoose's comment on today's arcane brilliance and thought it might be a great idea. Maybe look at the highest rated posted the previous day or something or have the writer choose whichever one they like best in their own opinion.
Breakfast Topic: Is your main a former alt? {WoW}
Oct 26th 2010 11:34AM I am such an altoholic (9 80s, every class but hunter, which is 45 and rising). Back in BC my mage was my main. I was decked out in full spellfire and topping the dps meters of my guild in TK. Inbetween raids and heroics i would level, a lot. My 2nd 70 was a warrior who after a while started tanking karazhan and eventually ZA just before wrath was released. My pally however was leveled as ret (which, if anyone remembers BC ret, was a nightmare). And as soon as i hit 70 i immediately switched to holy and started healing as i planned to. In a few months he was one of my guilds main healers, doing BT with them every week. I don't believe my mage ever raided after that, just ZA and sometimes TK/SSC.
BlizzCon 2010: Emerald Dream and/or Nightmare in the future {WoW}
Oct 24th 2010 12:49AM Less than a year after wrath came out I read what must've been a leak that came out somewhere online (can't remember where anymore so dont ask). It predicted the next expansion to be called cataclysm and included ALL the detailes. Deathwing, Maelstrom, Uldum, Deepholme, Goblins off an island, Worgen of Gilneas. Everything, even thrall stepping down from warchief. I completely forgot about it till cata was announced. Then i of course when "holy crap they're right!!!". Anways, the leak said that the emerald dream would be in 4.2, and i'm pretty sure there'll definitely be something to do with Nozdormu, which makes sense considering the dragon aspect theme of this expac.

Hi all,
Well, no photos of brugs yet, cause they are just gettin' going. They are all planted for the most part and many are in bud! We've had the blessing of a warm Spring with good rains and fortunately no hail - so far! In the meantime the epis did well this year: No-name hybrid:
Tel Star (Wow! this one is incredible!):
And, here is reason for not much posting -- our little Katie Rose has been keeping us on our toes. She's started walking now. 'Nuff said. |

WTH? I can't see any pics of Katie, just 4 of the epis. I love that two tone first one. I decided to rescue some epis I had that I was going to trash. I repotted them and should have flowers soon but they'll probably just be white. Pretty but boring. |

Didn't realize I had to click the link. She's adorable. I think you should have given her a bigger piece of banana! lol |

Karyn, I do not know if it's possible to directly embed a video in GardenWeb from PhotoBucket, so I just had to create a clickable link. Does anyone know if this can be done? The first two-tone epi is actually sort of fragrant -- a little floral scent combined with mothballs! Epis really like to be potbound before they bloom. The Tel Star is really amazing. The photo does not quite capture the intense luminosity of the magenta/purple next to the red/orange. |
Beautiful epis Dave, and Kathie Rose sure is growing up fast. Love how she stuffed that banana; you know she loves her food, LOL! |

Very nice blooms on the Epi's. I have read that they have to be five years old before they'll bloom. I'm hoping to find some Epi's locally to grow with my plumeria & brugmansia. Lonnie |

Vultures Take Over Suburbia
They vomit all over the place, urinate on themselves to cool off, and feed on the dead. Now they're disgusting and even frightening suburban homeowners. But vultures are amazing creatures that are a key part of the food chain, and they reveal a lot about wildlife's ability to adapt to us.

Lea Michele is breaking her silence to issue her first public remark since the death of her boyfriend and "Glee" co-star Cory Monteith on July 13.
Posting a candid shot of her with Monteith, Michele wrote on Twitter, "Thank you all for helping me through this time with your enormous love & support. Cory will forever be in my heart."
In its first 20 minutes, her post had received nearly 50,000 retweets and 45,000 favorites.
Days after his death from "mixed drug toxicity, involving heroin and alcohol," Michele's rep issued a statement to ABC News on July 16, saying the star was mourning the death of her co-star and boyfriend of more than a year.
See Lea Michele and Cory Monteith's Love Through the Years
"Lea is deeply grateful for all the love and support she's received from family, friends, and fans. Since Cory's passing, Lea has been grieving alongside his family and making appropriate arrangements with them," the rep's statement read. "They are supporting each other as they endure this profound loss together. We continue to ask the media to respect the privacy of Lea and Cory's family."
Last week, Michele and "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy gathered the cast and crew in Los Angeles for a private memorial service at Paramount Studios "to share memories and music in an emotional celebration of the life of Cory Monteith," 20th Century Fox said a statement to ABC News.
Michele also insisted that the start of the new season of "Glee" be postponed by only one week.
"She was very adamant that she thought it was best for the cast and crew to get back to together sooner [rather] than later so that mortgages could be paid and people could take care of their families," Murphy told the website TVLine.com.

Specific treatment for cancer will be determined by your doctor based on:
Your overall health and medical history
Extent of the disease--type, grade, stage, and location
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the disease
Your opinion or preference
Successful treatment (cure)
Prevention (keep cancer from developing)
Prolonged life (keep the cancer under control)
Palliation (Palliation is treatment for a symptom of the cancer, such as pain. It is not a treatment for the cancer itself. The goal of palliation treatment is to improve the quality of life, and provide comfort and support.)
Listed below are the conventional, primary methods of treating cancer:
Radiation therapy
Hormone therapy
Immunotherapy/biological therapy
Cancer may also be treated with:
Adjuvant therapy. This combines two or more treatments. This generally refers to surgery followed by chemotherapy and/or radiation.
Stem cell transplant. Transplantation of blood-forming stem cells allows patients to get high doses of chemotherapy, radiation, or both. The high doses destroy both cancer cells and normal blood cells in the bone marrow. After the treatment, healthy, blood-forming stem cells are given to the patient. New blood cells develop from these transplanted stem cells.
Prophylactic or preventive treatment. Treatment is sometimes given even when the cancer has not appeared, or all the cancer is thought to have been removed, especially if there is a significant risk that the cancer will come back later. This may be considered adjuvant therapy if it is given after curative surgery.

Connecticut ed reform law disregards parents
By Ben Velderman | EAGnews.org
Last month, a group of parents in California's Adelanto school district succeeded in using that state's Parent Trigger law to convert a chronically low-performing public school into a charter school.
It was the first Parent Trigger victory in the nation's history, but analysts expect the number of "trigger" cases and laws to expand quickly in the wake of the Adelanto victory.
Some education reform activists are already declaring 2013 to be "The Year of Parent Empowerment."
But that's not how the new year is shaping up for Connecticut parents, who are in jeopardy of losing what little power they currently have in the state's public schools – thanks to the state's 2012 education reform law which is beginning to take effect now.
Connecticut's 2012 education reform law – which enables the state's education commissioner to take control of low-performing schools – is directly undermining a 2010 reform law that gives parents in troubled public schools the legal authority to recommend "turnaround" plans.
… A key provision in Connecticut's 2012 education reform law allows the state education commissioner to take control of up to 25 malfunctioning schools, bypassing both the school governance councils and the local school board.
… The collection of state-controlled public schools is known as "the Commissioner's Network." Schools in the network are given access to extra financial resources and can be granted exemptions from rules and provisions in the teachers' union contract.
… According to the 2012 reform law, schools in the Commissioner's Network are managed by a six-member "turnaround committee." The local teachers union is allowed to appoint two of the group's members – a teacher and a parent.
The local board of education appoints its own parent representative, as well as a school administrator. The local superintendent and the state education commissioner comprise the rest of the turnaround committee.
Connecticut Parents' Union President Gwen Samuel says that if lawmakers don't shift the balance of power back to parents – as the 2010 law intended – they will once again become helpless bystanders in the effort to improve education in the Constitution State. "When will parents matter?" Samuel asks.
