As we head into the fall season, the historic drought that Nebraska continues to face is affecting communities all across the state.
And in North Platte officials say that even though the drought was harsh to many farmers and ranchers, the city held it's own and was better off than most other places.
"There's no question we were exceptionally dry this year however here in North Platte we're really come through it pretty good," said North Platte mayor Marc Kaschke. "We haven't seen water rate usage as high as it was a few years ago. We were a little bit surprised electricity usage was up like what we though it might be given the heat as well."
But over at Iron Eagle Golf Course in North Platte officials say during this drought it was very hard to keep the course green.
"It's been a difficult summer with high wind and 100 degree temperatures and absolutely no rain, we really had to increase our water input," said manager Bill Hasemeyer.
According to the latest drought monitor just under 75 percent of Nebraska is still under exceptional drought conditions.

Nice Kitty
I think we have a system we can work with. :)
I'm kinda assuming that Yankglish is actually in more common use, around the world, now, than "proper" English is, sadly. ;)
So, having things in that "language" is, probably, for the best.
But, of course, it's entirely unnatural, for me, to use that. Heck, I don't even know how you spell some words!
So, "correcting" that kinda thing is an obvious thing to do and I have no problem, with that, at all.

Angelina Belle:
Correct british grammar is also OK by me.
British spelling probably should be OK, too.
("the dog's bollux", or "chuffed" are not grammar issues, but slang/idiom that wouldn't be understood worldwide)
what do you call the British equiv. of our high schools?
You know, I'm not too sure, now.
Just "Secondary" schools, I'd guess.
From age eleven to about sixteen?
Infants and juniors are "Primary", so I guess "Secondary" covers the next level. After that, it's college, uni and all that stuff.
I'm guessing that there exists, somewhere an "International English" standard, somewhere. ISO, perhaps?
Still, as long as we stuck with "Understandable English", all'll be good, methinks, ay?
(I won't type Cockney, which is my native tongue. Although, a "Rhyming slang" language pack could be fun to try and work on.) ;)
Angelina Belle:
So just "Good Grammer", then.
Cockney? Still call us yanks "Septic"?

High school math: Area for improvement
Published on Thu, Sep 30, 2010 by
Jeremy Schwartz
Read More
For the last three years, Blaine high school has not met federal standards in math instruction established by the No Child Left Behind Act. This result comes as the school district as a whole reacts to the recently released test scores for the new state assessments administered last spring.
Interim curriculum instruction assessment director Kathy Newport presented the report to the Blaine school district board of commissioners at their regular meeting Monday night. She said the results of the state assessment tests and the preliminary adequate yearly progress (AYP) reports for Blaine's three schools present both reasons to celebrate and reexamine the challenges the district will face next year.
AYP is the primary federal measure of year-to-year student achievement. Each year, school districts must meet the AYP student proficiency goals in reading and math. Under the AYP rules, each state must raise the requirements in gradual steps each year so all students in a given district will achieve proficiency in each subject area by the 2013-2014 school year.
Newport said Blaine high school did not meet AYP goals in math this year and will move to the second step in the AYP improvement scale. The scale has five steps, with step five signifying the most improvement needed, and determines what consequences a school must face if AYP goals are not met.
According to a summary of AYP rules provided by the Blaine school district, schools entering step two have not met AYP goals for three years. The consequences include notifying parents the school has been identified for improvement and offering tutoring services for low-achieving students.
Newport, however, said Blaine middle school has now met AYP standards for two consecutive years and will not move into step three. If a school meets AYP goals for two consecutive years, it exits the school improvement process mandated by law completely.
A school entering step three of the AYP improvement scale has not met AYP goals for four years and must take more drastic steps, such as replacing certain school staff and extending the year or day.
Newport said Blaine's situation does not seem to be uncommon among school districts in Whatcom County. A few school districts in the county have moved to step five of the improvement scale, which means the schools have not met AYP goals for six years. Schools in this situation are advised to replace the majority of their staff and possibly contract with an outside education provider to run the school.
In addition to the AYP report, Newport presented the district's results for the newly implemented High School Proficiency Exam and the Measure of Student Performance, which assesses grades three through eight. The two new exams replaced the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL) last year.
Compared to state average scores, the Blaine school district scored higher across the board in reading assessments. Compared to last year's WASL scores, reading scores declined in grades three, five, six, eight and 10 while they improved in grades four and seven.
Blaine's elementary math school scores were lower than the state average, with third grade being about 15 percentage points lower than the state scores, and Blaine's middle and high school scores were all above the state average.
Compared to last year's scores, math scores declined in grades three, four, five, eight and 10 while improving in grades six and seven.

In what will become a daily entry over the course of the next month, Waiver Wire writers Greg Kaplan and Vinny Ginardi will release a list of the the 25 players who they believe to be the best in NBA history. Players were judged on their careers as a whole rather than short stretches of dominance (for example, Bill Walton didn't make the list due to injuries cutting his career short).
Number: 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 |8 | 7
Vinny Ginardi: If you looks solely at statistics, you can make the argument that Wilt Chamberlain was the best player in league history.
Chamberlain led the league in scoring six different times, including one season where he averaged 50.4 points per game (not a typo). He led the league in rebounding in 11 different seasons and finished with career averages of 30.1 points and 22.9 rebounds per game. Chamberlain won four MVP award and was named to the All-NBA team 10 times (seven first team). Hell, he even scored 100 points in one game.
So why, despite the statistics, isn't Wilt ranked higher? Well, because he cared only about the statistics. Yes, Chamberlain did win two NBA titles, but he was notorious for caring more about his performance and how he was viewed than the team itself. How else could someone average more than 50 points for an entire season or score 100 points in a game?
Chamberlain's statistical accomplishments are remarkable. If only he put all that talent toward winning.
Greg Kaplan: The things Wilt was able to accomplish his career are unbelievable. His numbers, on average, will never be matched again in the history of the game. Nobody will ever score 100 points in a single game, either. Kobe's 81 is the closest we've seen recently, and even that was hard to believe.
Chamberlain played in an era where the amount of players that could compete with him on a nightly basis were in the single digits. He was a player well ahead of his time as far as skill sets go. While his domination likely would have carried over to any other generation in the game's storied history, he wouldn't have been putting up the 35+ points a night and 22+ rebounds. That just wouldn't have happened if he was playing against the likes of Olajuwon, Robinson, Barkley, Ewing, Malone and so on.
Big Wilt was also a notorious stat hound. He was out to get his numbers, and he often didn't care if that meant costing his team a win in the process. He had goals he wanted to accomplish individually, and often put the team in a worse place because of it.
With that said, Wilt Chamberlain was so dominate that, even when he wasn't trying to win and just wanted to put up huge numbers, his teams still won. The Big Dipper was an incredible talent, an uncontrollable personality and was just larger than life in an era that didn't have an answer for a guy his size. His numbers are never going to be approached again, and he is clearly one of the best players to ever appear in the league.
Luckily for Wilt, we aren't judging the Top 25 teammates or most fun players to play with of all-time. If that was the case, he probably wouldn't be on the list.
But seriously, how was nobody rolling any camera when he dropped 100 points and 50 rebounds? So depressing.

LANSING (WKZO) -- It was 102 years ago Monday that the state legislature officially approved Michigan's state flag.
The statement of approval was short and to the point saying, "The State flag shall be blue charged with the arms of the state." On a blue shield the sun rises over a lake and peninsula as it shows a man with one had raised and the other holding a gun, representing both peace and his ability to defend his rights.
Other state symbols on the flag include a moose and elk while an eagle represents the United States.

Natural Allergy Relief
It happens to an estimated 40 to 50 million Americans every year: the stuffy head, watery eyes, runny nose and sneezing that signal seasonal allergies. The good news is that you don't always have to pop a pill to feel better. "Studies show that natural approaches are effective in improving allergy symptoms," says Robert Anderson, M.D., immediate past president of the American Board of Holistic Medicine. "The best part is that you can avoid the unwanted side effects of traditional medication such as drowsiness," he says. We asked top alternative-medicine experts for diet, body and mind strategies to deal with this allergy season drug-free.Pick up some produce
"About 20 percent of our immune cells are in the intestines, so diet plays a big role in immune function," says Carolyn Dean, M.D., a naturopathic physician in City Island, New York. Fruits and vegetables with the deepest hues, such as berries, spinach and red grapes, are highest in antioxidants, which help prevent the free-radical damage to cells that weakens immunity. Vitamins C and E and beta-carotene (also found in brightly colored produce) have anti-inflammatory properties that may help decrease the swelling in the airways that causes congestion, says Mary L. Hardy, M.D., director of Integrative Medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Quercitin, a plant compound found in apples and grapes, also inhibits inflammation in nasal passages.Avoid dairy, sugar, wheat and food additives
These are known to produce excess mucus, which causes congestion and nasal irritation, according to Dr. Hardy. Cutting back will help make you less sensitive to pollens and other irritants.Eat spicy foods
They can increase blood flow, which brings oxygen to the nasal passages and helps thin and eliminate mucus, says Dr. Hardy.Drink water
Fluids help clear airways by hydrating mucous membranes: The wetter the membrane, the thinner the mucus and the more easily it can drain.Choose foods that contain omega-3 fatty acids.
Found in fish, almonds and flax seeds, omega-3's may help lessen respiratory symptoms by reducing inflammation, according to a study from the State University of New York at Stony Brook.Try herbs
Be sure to check product labels for dosages, and always talk to your doctor about possible interactions with other drugs before taking anything.
- Stinging nettle is a natural antihistamine that relieves irritation in the nasal passages, according to Dr. Anderson.
- Sodium selenite (a form of the antioxidant selenium) helps boost the immune system and neutralize free radicals, which can spur allergy attacks, says Dr. Anderson.
- Aloe, when taken in supplement form or in a saline-based nasal spray, can also help heal irritated mucous membranes.
- Fenugreek eases congestion by thinning mucus, says Dr. Hardy.

All great recommendations, but I'd also like to add the use of the Neti Pot for daily rinsing of the sinus'. It helps clean out the pollen/dust irritants and prevents sinus infections, etc. I't helped me so much. Try it!5/3/2010 02:44:44 PM Report Abuse

In celebration of the High Line Calendar, we're exploring each month's featured image to bring you more of the behind-the-scenes details.
This month's image comes from photographer Barry Munger. Barry has been lending his talents to Friends of the High Line since long before our 2009 opening. With his over-sized film camera set-up, immeasurable patience, and a keen eye, Barry has coaxed some of the most poetic photos out of what can sometimes be an unwieldy landscape. You may remember another iconic shot by Barry that we featured as our September calendar image .
'Tis the season to eat! Friends and family gather to celebrate around delicious meals this time of year. Will you do your holiday food shopping at New York City favorites like Fairway, the Union Square Greenmarket, or Sahadi's? In the early 20th century, shoppers flocked to open-air markets like the bustling Gansevoort Farmers' Market, pictured above, to do their grocery shopping. Every morning six days a week, the Gansevoort Farmers' Market would fill with horse-drawn carts heaped with vegetables trucked in from primarily Long Island and New Jersey. Business would be brisk as home shoppers, grocers, and restaurateurs scoured the market for the freshest goods of the day.
Co-Founder Robert Hammond will be stepping down at the end of 2013 after nearly fifteen years of leadership at Friends of the High Line. He leaves behind a legacy that extends far beyond the mile-and-a-half of the High Line. Robert's creative vision, entrepreneurial spirit, and irreverent approach will live on in the work we do each day, to maintain and operate the High Line.
We asked Robert to share a few favorite memories from his years at the High Line. Follow us after the jump for photos and reflections in Robert's own words.
To hear more of Robert's memories, join us on Thursday, December 5, for a special farewell talk.
The High Line stays open year-round, and there's always a good reason to come visit us. Here's a guide to the High Line's public events this December.
The High Line's planting design is inspired by the self-seeded landscape that grew up between rail tracks after the trains stopped running in the 1980s. Today, the High Line includes more than 300 species of perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees – each chosen for their hardiness, adaptability, diversity, and seasonal variation in color and texture. Some of the species that originally grew on the High Line's rail bed are reflected in the park landscape today.
This week we share one of our gardeners' current favorites with you.
The summer season is behind us, but don't fear the cold! While brisk and windy at times, recent weather has been comfortable for leisurely walks along the High Line. These past few weeks, visitors have enjoyed the warm colors of fall foliage and the changing landscape of the park's plantings, now dominated with architectural seed heads and dried stems instead of bright blooms.
One of the High Line's most beloved features, the 10th Avenue Square, is still a popular place to soak up the sun, relax, or share a bite to eat. High Line Photographer Eddie Crimmins caught this lovely moment earlier in the month.
The subject of this Photo of the Week caught our eye because of its playful and creative interpretation of one of the park's iconic design features.
Photographer and Lego enthusiast Chris Christian created this Lilliputian version of one of the rolling lounge chairs from the High Line's Diller – von Furstenberg Sundeck. During a recent visit to New York earlier this season, he snapped this photo of his creation side-by-side with the real thing. This particular model was the 249th in his 2013 "A Lego a Day" project.
On Saturday, October 26, 2,500 kids and adults joined us for the third-annual Haunted High Line Halloween celebration. Families came in costume to enjoy art activities, music, and "real" High Line ghosts stationed from Little West 12th to 17th Streets. The celebration drew on the spooky history of Manhattan's west side, where dark factories loomed and dangerous freight trains ruled "Death Avenue."
We'd like to thank the students of the School of Visual Arts' Interior Design program for creating out first haunted train tunnel!
See photos from the day after the jump.

Obama has proven he can't do the job
Your admiring endorsement of President Barack Obama ("Obama for president," Nov. 4) came as no surprise to those followers of your editorial page. After four years of failed leadership, you have indicated that, "He will need to do a better job in the next four years, but he must be allowed to finish the job."

The Public Lighting Authority (PLA) of Detroit began a block-by-block audit of the city's street lights. Today is the beginning of a 3-year plan to improve the cities' deteriorating network of lights. Some estimates have less than half of the cities' 88,000 street lights working properly.The PLA says information from the mapping will allow them to improve the design and installation of the new lights. The most common problem seems to be busted bulbs and stolen copper wire.Construction of new lights begins this fall.

Miss Arkansas River Scholarship Pageant
The Miss America Pageant is a non-profit civic corporation, conducted since 1921 during the month of September in Atlantic City, NJ. The Pageant program at the Local, State, and National Levels is well organized and thoughtfully executed. It is beautifully produced by thousands of men and women who work without remunerations and give willingly of their time, talent, enthusiasm and efforts to make it all possible.
They are business leaders, however, who would not become involved in presenting young women in just a "Pageant" without the knowledge that this Pageant leads to outstanding educational rewards in the form of scholarships.
In accepting the responsibility of conducting the State Finals, the State Pageant organization agrees it will, in turn, enfranchise responsible organizations within its state to conduct Official Local Pageants. The young women selected by the Local Pageants are then given the opportunity to compete in the State Finals.
It is for these reasons that we conduct the Miss Arkansas River Scholarship Pageant.

As part of the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program, the United States Mint introduced the America the Beautiful Quarters Three-Coin Sets to honor the Nation's national parks and other national sites.
Each three-coin set features an uncirculated quarter from the United States Mint at Philadelphia, an uncirculated quarter from the United States Mint at Denver and a proof quarter from the United States Mint at San Francisco with images specific to each national site. The coins are held in a durable plastic card that features a picturesque image and a brief description of the site and the coin, as well as a Certificate of Authenticity on the back of the card.
The America the Beautiful Quarters Three-Coin Set is also available through the United States Mint's Online Subscription Program. Visit our Subscriptions page for more information.
Please allow approximately one to two (1-2) weeks for shipping of in-stock products.
The America the Beautiful Quarters Program features designs depicting national parks and other national sites. Each year five new national site designs are depicted on the reverse (tails side) of the America the Beautiful Quarters. The United States Mint will issue these quarters in the order in which the honored sites were established as national sites.
The Denali National Park and Preserve quarter is the fifth to be released in 2012 and the 15th overall in the America the Beautiful Quarters Program. In 1980, the park was expanded from 2 to 6 million acres, including preserve lands, and the name changed from Mount McKinley National Park to Denali National Park and Preserve. Today's boundaries still include the awe-inspiring 20,320-foot Mount McKinley, the tallest mountain in North America. The reverse design of the coin features a Dall sheep with Mount McKinley rising in the background.

Monster list of free online college courses
A wide variety of topics are covered.
Just the other day, we were thinking it might be time to brush up on advanced complexity theory. And because we're expanding our vegetable garden, knowing more about soil mechanics might help. (Well, maybe not because we haven't taken the prerequisites.)
And in case we've forgotten about the particular charms and indignities of aging, we can take free courses on that too, courtesy of Johns Hopkins.
If you have knowledge gaps you want to fill, you can do it online -- for free. To help you find a particular topic, UniversitiesandColleges.org is building "The master list of free online college courses." Feel free to let them know of courses that don't yet appear.
We had no idea how engaging these free online courses could be until we checked out a few on this massive list.
For instance, a course available through the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's OpenCourseWare caught our eye -- American Consumer Culture. Two of the books on the reading list can be downloaded for free from Project Gutenberg. Two others, including "Fast Food Nation," are likely available at the local library.
The related reading is intriguing as well, and includes the Museum of the Moving Image's "The Living Room Candidate: Presidential Campaign Commercials 1952-2008." That's right. You can watch hundreds of old political commercials, if you're so inclined. If not, move on to Game Theory, or take French online.
For better or worse, taking free online courses is not the same as enrolling in a class. Your study is self-directed and you won't earn credits toward a degree. But homework and exams are optional.
Costs can be involved but they're optional too. For instance, if we
really had the background to understand the MIT course on advanced
complexity theory (not even close), we could download the lecture notes
for free but we'd also want to acquire the recommended books.

This time, with more Joker!
As far as iconic covers featuring the Clown Prince of Crime go, few can compare with Jerry Robinson's DETECTIVE COMICS #69 cover, with a looming Joker hovering over the Dynamic Duo. Let's take a look, shall we?
Yesterday, we unveiled a look at Mike Mingola's take on the classic DETECTIVE COMICS #168 cover. How can we top that?
Well, we can't. But we can give you an equally-amazing image to kick off your day.
In addition to the 75th anniversary covers we'll be rolling out here on The Source this week and beyond, we've also got a first look at DC UNIVERSE: LEGACIES #1 for you. As some of you know, LEGACIES spans five generations of heroes, from the dawn of the Mystery Men to the present. In the first issue, the Second World War rages on, setting the stage for the debut of a new hero.
We'll have a full preview of the third issue of BRIGHTEST DAY soon enough, but in the meantime, why not spend a few minutes eyeing these two lovely covers, courtesy of artists David Finch and Ivan Reis on the variant?
[gallery link="file"]
It's time to go back to the future, gang, as fan-favorite LEGION writer Paul Levitz teams with rising star artist Yildiray Cinar to chronicle the adventures of the 31st century's premiere super team. Picking up on threads from SUPERMAN AND THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES and creating its own, the first issue is no slouch in the action department, as an entire planet is destroyed.
Got some news for you, gang. Ready?
DC Comics has joined forces with TASCHEN, the book publisher known for its eye for quality, modern design aesthetic and high-end art books spotlighting every aspect of culture: from art and movies to lifestyle and comics, to produce an ultra-comprehensive, extra large book so impressive, even super heroes may have trouble lifting it.

Rochester Hills Fire Chief Ron Crowell tells Fox 2 a raging fire consumed a two-story home on West Auburn Street Sunday afternoon.
No persons were injured, but one of the four dogs belonging to the elderly couple who lived there became trapped and didn't make it out.
The couple, both in their seventies, made it out safe with the three other dogs.
Fire crews responded around 4:30 p.m. Sunday to the home on West Auburn, and saw smoke billowing from the windows.
The fire inside was so intense crews could not make entry and were forced to fight the blaze from outside.
By the time the fire was under control, the house was destroyed.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

A longtime District lawmaker was furious Tuesday over security restrictions that will be in place on Inauguration Day, complaining that parking spaces at the John A. Wilson Building will be limited as authorities guard the parade route along Pennsylvania Avenue.
Ward 2 Councilman Jack Evans, who has been a member of the D.C. Council for five previous inaugurations, said it was "unacceptable" that the Secret Service would mandate that lawmakers park their cars at the Wilson Building by 6 a.m. on Jan. 21, the day of the public swearing-in festivities this year.
Evans called that excessive -- especially since the parade begins at 2 p.m. -- and urged Paul Quander, the city's deputy mayor for public safety and justice, to push back against security planners.
"I'm not asking you to ask them," Evans said of the revisions to the security plan he wanted. "I'm asking you to tell them."
Quander and Christopher Geldart, the director of the D.C. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency, said they would convey Evans' concerns to federal officials, but Quander said to expect no changes.
The Secret Service is responsible for coordinating security arrangements for the inauguration, though D.C. officials sit on the planning committee.
If lawmakers make it to the Wilson Building ahead of the security clampdown, they'll have the opportunity to watch the parade in a $342,000 reviewing stand. The federal government is funding its construction.

SAN DIEGO -- Didi Gregorius tripled home the tiebreaking run in the 12th inning to lift the Arizona Diamondbacks over the San Diego Padres 2-1 on Tuesday night.
Paul Goldschmidt hit his NL-best 36th homer for the Diamondbacks, extending his hitting streak to 14 games and increasing his league-leading RBI total to 124.
Gregorius tripled down the right-field line against Luke Gregerson (6-8) to score fellow rookie Chris Owings, who doubled with one out.
Josh Collmenter (5-4) pitched a perfect inning and Brad Ziegler got three outs for his 12th save.
The Diamondbacks set a major league record for most extra innings played in a season with 79. Arizona, which is 17-7 in extra-inning games, broke the record of 76 set by the 1969 Minnesota Twins.
Arizona was working on a four-hitter with a 1-0 lead into the eighth before San Diego tied it.
Relief pitcher David Hernandez gave up consecutive singles to pinch-hitter Mark Kotsay and Chris Denorfia to open the inning. The right-hander then struck out Jesus Guzman, retired Jedd Gyorko on a grounder and intentionally walked Chase Headley to load the bases.
With rookie Tommy Medica batting, catcher Miguel Montero allowed a passed ball on Hernandez's off-speed pitch that let pinch-runner Reymond Fuentes score the tying run.
Arizona starter Wade Miley allowed just four singles, including two infield hits, in six innings. Miley, making his career-high 32nd start, struck out seven, walked one and let just one runner reach third base.
Tyson Ross kept San Diego in the game with eight strong innings, allowing one run and three hits. Ross struck out six, walked two, hit a batter and threw a wild pitch.
Goldschmidt's homer to right-centre in the sixth barely cleared the top of the wall.
Miley lost all four of his previous starts against San Diego this season.
NOTES: During his hitting streak, Goldschmidt has six doubles, five homers and 17 RBIs. ... Padres SS Ronny Cedeno wasn't in the lineup after being hit in the head by a pitch from reliever Heath Bell on Monday night. "He's not doing great," San Diego manager Bud Black said. "The doctors said (Monday) night he was concussed to a certain point." ... Padres OF Will Venable (abdominal strain) missed his second straight game. ... Diamondbacks RHP Randall Delgado (5-6, 3.96 ERA) faces Padres RHP Ian Kennedy (6-10, 5.06) on Wednesday night.

Art Supplies Haul + Drawing Process + Tria Markers Review
So I just used up all of my money to buy these awesome art supplies /exaggerating again/ but seriously, they were quite expensive.
First up is a pink notebook with blank sheets~ perfect size to bring along anywhere :) It cost me P495. I use this for artwork drafts, random ideas, notes, and other stuff. Quite useful if you ask me.
I had dinner with the super talented and awesome Val Chua last night for a business meeting (More about that later but watch out for it!!!). She showed me her Tria marker which I've been seeing in Fully Booked for quite some time now. Never really bothered to check it out since they came in set boxes in Eastwood branch. Also, I thought they were just similar to the Letraset Markers (Check out my entry regarding this marker).
I totally spazzed when I saw the nib! It's similar to Copic markers brush tip nibs! The other side was a flat angled nib which I don't really find useful. Being the impulsive buyer that I am, I grabbed a few (okay, 20 pieces) of these Tria markers a while ago. There were so many colors to choose from I stayed for an hour just picking out which ones to buy first.
Since I got quite a handful, I didn't bother checking them one by one. BAD IDEA, 7 of my markers were already dried up :( Now I have to go back and have them replaced huhuhu /dying whale sound. So if ever you purchase these markers in the future, PLEASE check them before paying! :)
Much to my surprise, the marker actually had THREE nibs! Yup, that's right! Three nibs in ONE marker! How cool is that? Here's how they look like.
I love the ultra fine nib :) Perfect for those hard details like hair strands and lashes! *o*
While I'm at it, let me also show you my drawing/illustrating process. After I have made my draft, I usually make a rough sketch with a mechanical pencil (no shading).
After this, I roughly ink (don't go OC yet!) it so I can see/trace it over another paper (I will use my marker paper for this review). — No need to ink roughly if you have a light box.
After inking, place your paper BELOW your marker paper/any other paper you wish to use.
For this review, I will use my Comic Marker Pad (I've been dying to have one ever since college) — This one costs P 825. Yes, it's expensive. It's worth it though if you're using markers ! It's 70gsm, 50 sheets, and developed for the use of alcohol based markers. I also noticed that it goes quite well with my unipins. No more bleeding ink and ugly smudging! :) Blends the markers perfectly as well.
The fun part! Inking! YAY!!! :D Now you can go as detailed as you want! Carefully trace over your rough artwork.
I always use only : 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5 Unipins (thinnest to thickest). Careful not to over press the tips cause they bend easily (0.05 and 0.1)
After you've completed your inked artwork (Give yourself a hug and a pat on the back) ~ hehe~ you can now color !!! :D
I think Tria markers are the perfect alternative to Copic Markers. They are cheaper (P150 each) as opposed to Copics (P200+ each). Although the brush nib of Tria markers aren't as flexible as Copics, they will suffice. Large array of colors too so you don't have to worry about not getting a particular shade you want! ALSO, They don't smell as bad as Copics or Kurecolors! :)
Unfinished drawing as usual. :)) Anyway, that's about it! Hope that helped :)A

By the time Bruce Springsteen walked into CBS Studios in New York in May of 1972 to audition for Columbia Records, he'd been playing in rock and roll bands for seven years – from the garage rock/soul hybrid of the Castiles to the thundering guitar jams of Steel Mill to the soul music of the Bruce Springsteen Band. Steel Mill built up a following along the East Coast and even recorded a few demos for Bill Graham in February of 1970. But Springsteen had no experience with record companies or serious recording studios. He was also at a crossroads in his career. Although he'd had local success, he was unsure of his future direction. He signed a management contract as a solo artist with Mike Appel, who encouraged him to develop his songwriting, in hopes of possibly having Springsteen emerge in the popular singer-songwriter mold.
Appel managed to get an audition for Springsteen with the legendary John Hammond – a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee. Hammond had been at the center of popular music since 1938, when he organized the From Spirituals to Swing concerts at Carnegie Hall. He signed some of the most important artists of the twentieth century to Columbia, including Billie Holiday, Count Basie, Aretha Franklin and Bob Dylan. Hammond loved what he heard, and so he arranged for Springsteen to record several demos the next day, on May 3, 1972. Springsteen recorded more than a dozen songs that day, four of which were released on the anthology Tracks (1998): "Mary Queen of Arkansas," "It's Hard to Be a Saint in the City," "Growin' Up" and "Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street." All of these songs would end up on his first album, Greetings From Asbury Park, NJ (1973), and all but "Mary" would be recorded with a rock band – not exactly what Hammond had envisioned for Springsteen.
In a 1998 interview with MOJO magazine, Springsteen remembered the session: "It was a big, big day for me… I was 22 and came up on the bus with an acoustic guitar with no case… I was embarrassed carrying it around the city. I walked into his office and had the audition, and I played a couple of songs and [Hammond] said, 'You've got to be on Columbia Records.' I knew a lot about John Hammond, the work he'd done, the people he'd discovered, his importance in music, and it was very exciting to feel you were worth his time. No matter what happened afterwards, even if it was just for this one night, you were worth his time. That meant a lot to me. He was very encouraging – simply being in that room with him at the board was one of my greatest recording experiences."

A Bossier City man is behind bars, charged with stabbing his brother with a roofing knife late Saturday night.
28-year-old Julio Cesa is charged with aggravated second degree battery for stabbing 39-year-old Marvin Mendez of Shreveport outside Cesa's home in the 600 block of McDade Street.
Police say the incident reportedly happened late Saturday night, but they were notified until just before 6 a.m. Sunday after Mendez called a relative from the scenic overlook on the A.R. Teague Parkway just north of McDade Street saying that he had been stabbed. Mendez's relative then called police.
Mendez was taken to LSU Health Center in Shreveport by Bossier City Fire Department personnel with what was determined to be a non-life threatening stab wound to the abdomen. He was taken into surgery and is expected to be okay.
Officers found Cesa at his home and took him into custody. He was booked into the Bossier City Jail. In addition to the charge of aggravated second degree battery, he was also charged with possession of marijuana.

As of Tuesday, October 16, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Newton Citizen
I voted Monday. Yeah, I know. It was kind of early but my health has been bad. I wanted to make sure that my ballot had been cast in case something happened between now and Nov. 6.
I'm only half kidding.
I was proud of myself for voting so I put one of those little peaches on my sweater as I left the polling place. I was grocery shopping that afternoon and a gentleman in line at the grocery store asked me if I had to wait long to vote.
"Four years," I told him. "Four long years."
I wasn't kidding at all about that.
It was an interesting ballot, and there were a lot of local races -- a lot of really important local races. The local race that caught my attention first was the one for chairman of the Rockdale County Board of Commissioners and I was happy to cast "my one vote," as my friend Don Sellers used to say when we were doing church business together, for Jason Hill.
Jason has deep, deep roots in Rockdale County and manages the lumber business his grandfather started 60 years ago -- right about the time I was being born. Jason Hill is here to stay. He's a rambling wreck from Georgia Tech and a helluva great guy. He and his wife, Andrea, have chosen to raise their children in this community. He has served on the Conyers/Rockdale Planning Commission and served for many years on the Rockdale Board of Commissioners.
Jason Hill isn't going anywhere, and neither am I. Jason Hill wants a better community and so do I. Jason Hill is a fiscal conservative and wants our hard-earned money to be spent wisely, and so do I. Jason Hill pulls for Georgia Tech and whoever plays Georgia every Saturday. I want a better community and our money spent wisely, which supersedes any good-natured sports rivalry.
Let's talk about our money. It doesn't grow on trees, you know. Every dollar the government spends -- any government -- is taken from someone who has worked really hard to earn it. Any time any government entity -- from the U.S. Congress to the county Board of Commissioners -- spends a single dollar, that entity should make sure that the money is being used wisely, because the taxpayers are doing without so the government can spend that dollar.
Are you glad the current Board of Commissioners voted to spend thousands of dollars placing their portraits in county buildings? Yeah. Me, neither.
Here are a few other examples of changes in our spending habits over the past four or five years.
In 2007, the last year that Jason Hill served on the board, Rockdale County spent $330,108 on salaries and benefits for the office of Board of Commissioners. That number, in and of itself, doesn't really mean much. It is just a number. But in 2012 the number was $476,419. That's a 44 percent increase, y'all. Has your salary gone up 44 percent since 2007? A big part of that increase is due to the fact that the current board chairman hired an assistant. I wish I had an assistant. The school system has given me a lot more paperwork since 2007 -- and a lot less money. Times are tight, or didn't you know that? I wonder if the current board does.
Here's another line item on the budget. In 2007, the Rockdale Board of Commissioners spent $828 on travel. That's what I call taking care of the taxpayers' money -- $828 won't get you very far. The 2012 budget calls for $10,000 in travel expenses. $10,000! That's a 1,100 percent increase. A 1,100 percent increase in travel expenses -- in the same year that the county kicked the local clothes closet out of a building they had been using for years.
During these "difficult economic times" -- isn't that the phrase of the decade? -- the budget for our Board of Commissioners in Rockdale County has soared from $358,532 to $517,559. There's that magic number again -- 44 percent.
This is just my opinion, but mine is the only one I've got: Our county government needs to be spending less money, not more. Everybody else is.
Like I have said many times before, I am here in Rockdale County for the duration, unless I get a wild hair and buy a loft apartment and move to the Porterdale Mill. That loud shriek you just heard was my lovely wife, Lisa, reading over my shoulder. If you couldn't quite make out what she said, it was, "Over my dead body!"
See what I mean? I want a county that I am proud to call home. I want a county that is safe and one that takes care of her citizens -- all her citizens. I want a county government who spends our money wisely. I believe that Jason Hill will provide leadership that will result in that kind of county. I really do. In your hearts, you believe it, too.
Don't put off voting. It might come up a bad cloud on Election Day. Remember, the government belongs to the people and you will generally get the kind you deserve and I don't believe I have four more years to wait.

Ogden • Weber State entered Saturday night's game against Portland State as the worst 3-point shooting team in the Big Sky Conference.
The Vikings probably don't believe it.
In shortDavion Berry scores 16 of his 21 points in the second half to lead Weber State past Portland State.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Weber went 9-for-20 from the 3-point line — despite missing its final two attempts — and rolled to a 79-62 victory over Portland State at the Dee Events Center.
Davion Berry scored 16 of his 21 points in the second half and Jordon Richardson made a season-high four 3-point shots to lead the Wildcats.
"I'm really pleased with our guys," said Weber State coach Randy Rahe. "… Slowly, we're getting better. In the second half, offensively, we got a good rhythm going."
Weber State entered the game shooting only 31.4 percent from the 3-point line. Richardson, a senior from Lewisville, Texas, had managed to make only 10 of his 39 3-point attempts.
That all changed against Portland State, despite Rahe purposely not talking to his players about their 3-point shooting woes before the game.
"I haven't said a word about it," he explained. … It's like free-throw shooting. You don't [yell] at guys for missing free throws because then they get tight and miss more."
Richardson, a starter in the first eight games of the season, came off the bench for the second straight time against Portland State.
He made an immediate impact.
The Wildcats trailed, 5-4, with 14 minutes left in the first half when Richardson made three-pointers on three consecutive possessions. He triggered a 13-2 run that gave Weber a 17-7 lead.
"I just came in and tried to contribute any way I could," Richardson said. "… I was fortunate to hit some shots tonight — finally."
Rahe praised Richardson for taking his new role to heart and giving the Wildcats a lift as a non-starter.
"Jordon has done a great job," his coach said. "I told him, 'This is for you. This is not a penalty. Sometimes it's good to sit and watch the game awhile.' …
"To his credit, he never sulked. He's shown a lot of character. He's a great teammate because he worries about what's best for the team."
Weber State owned a 36-27 halftime lead despite the fact Berry, its leading scorer, had only five points on 1-for-5 shooting.
The Wildcats never lost their lead, but was 52-47 with nine minutes left before freshman Jeremy Senglin buried a 3-pointer, made a steal and converted a three-point play. He triggered an 18-3 run that included seven points by Berry.
"I just stayed aggressive," said Berry. "The coaches and players on our team told me just to keep playing my game."
Winning for the fourth time in the last five games, Weber State improved to 5-5 overall and 2-0 in the Big Sky Conference.
"It feels like we have a rhythm right now," Richardson said.
