Make most of early options for spring OSR
MAKE BEST use of pre-emergence weed control choices in spring rape, because options are limited later on, advises Bob Mills of Banks Cargill.
Early weed removal is essential with this crop, as good establishment is the key to success, he says.
"There are a few choices of pre-emergence herbicides for spring rape and they vary tremendously in price."
Trifluralin is cheapest at 5-6/ha.
"It has the narrowest weed spectrum. Check the label to see whether it needs incorporating, though you will get greater persistence if it is incorporated."
Cirrus will control cleavers and chickweed, says Mr Mills. "But be aware that you will get a bleaching effect on the crop which can be very noticeable. Use it with caution."
By far the most expensive pre-emergence treatment is Ramrod. "It"s a very good herbicide, but will cost over 50/ha. It controls grass weeds, shepherd"s purse and cleavers."
Butisan is a mid-priced alternative. "Depending on the rate, it will cost 20-30/ha. And it can be mixed with trifluralin or Cirrus, to widen the weed spectrum."
Post-emergence spring rape treatments include Dow Shield for mayweeds and thistles, and off-label Lentagran for cleavers and fat hen. "Both are expensive and Lentagran can be harsh on the crop."
Graminicides Laser, Falcon and Fusilade can also be used. "Volunteer cereals shouldn"t be an issue in a spring crop, but wild oats may be."
[box] Arable tables p7 Active ingredients Butisan (metazachlor) Cirrus (clomazone) Dow Shield (clopyralid) Falcon (propaquizafop) Fusilade (fluazifop-P-butyl) Laser (cycloxidim) Lentagran (pyridate) Ramrod (propachlor) ENDS 260 WORDS

Convenience foods simply cut to the chase - as if the only point in preparing a meal is having something to eat. But when you cook, you discover the rewards in slowing down and taking time to smell the onions.
Almost Vegetarian
Diana Shaw
I went to my 10 year high school reunion this past summer, where I saw a former classmate, Joey B., who has been living in Spain the past 2-3 years. Whilst back in the States for the reunion, she was also heading down to Arizona, where she was going to put her house up for sale. "I'm done with the US." she said, "Finished. I'll never live here again." Very curious, I asked her her reasoning and what she said resonated with me bigtime.
"I'm sick of the Rat Race. In Spain, I live in a small apartment, teach 20 hours a week, and I am superbly happy. I'm done with the US," she said. It must be all those siestas!
Seriously, though: The Rat Race.
It is so easy to believe The Lie, which I believe fuels The Rat Race. That we need to have this, and that, and that other thing, to be happy or satisfied. Meals needs to be done in a snap and spending time washing dishes afterwards is a sheer waste of time. Isn't that why we have microwaves and dishwashers? Leisure trumps work (in any form), hands down. Why would I want to have kids?? How would I do this-and-this-and-this-and-this with the responsibility of a child? Let's go shopping! Wheeeeeee!
No wonder why we're all fat and so self-absorbed.
A nebulous stew has been simmering in my mind for the past few years. I feel like I'm onto something, but I can't exactly describe it. (Yet.) Why do we make life such of blur of movement? How can we change it? Getting away from the Race is very appealing to me, but I'm not fully sure how to escape. I'm not even sure if I am in it, or only affected by it: we are absolutely steeped in the culture of the Rat Race.
The first step of freedom is becoming aware of it. The second, I believe, is to start thinking outside of the box, or the confines in which we live. How can we cut back? What can I get rid of? How can I sloooooow doooooown? And another thing, I say ditch all those "living" magazines. They're just out to make a quick buck on all the suckers who want to know, "how to really be happy".
Yuck - gag me with a spoon.
The End.

It is hard to escape, especially when you're not exactly sure what you're trying to escape from.
My husband and I have enlightened moments where everything is clear and we "see the light." But the blur you talk about too quickly comes back and we're right back to the same spot.
Baby steps, I guess.

Talal Asad and Abdullahi An-Na'im
"Islam, Human Rights, and the Secular: A Conversation"
Listen the Talk
Can one ground universal human rights in the Islamic tradition? How do secular notions of human rights -- and those derived from other religious traditions -- compare with Islamic perspectives? Does the secular and democratic state pose a threat to Islam? Or might it in fact provide the best possible guarantee of the rights of Muslim citizens?.

Six young people are invited to spend a weekend in Germany's largest nuclear shelter. Isolation and a mysterious death drives them crazy...
Review :
A real thrill-ride
I had the pleasure to see this movie some weeks ago at an exclusive preview in one of Germany's biggest movie theaters, Cinemaxx Essen. And I must say it really is a blockbuster altho its not a big budget production. The story is enthralling, the suspense scenes thrilling and the sets great. Well, they're not real sets, the whole film was shot in Germany's largest nuclear air raid shelter "Marienthal", which gives the movie an unique atmosphere. If you like really scary movies like "What Lies Beneath", "Shining" or "Scream" you'll love this one. Go see it !!!

(Lost In The Fog, 2009)
With stars crashing all around, I wonder how we survived. At first, I wonder how I survived, with a beating heart, and a hand in my hand. I felt lost, yes, buried under the ashes, buried under the rumble. I've become a mole, pale and blind, dirty and homely. An arm attached to a body, a face extends from there, and grows on me. I call it first light. To tell of wonders and such, to speak of things of imagination and dreams is to reach as far as your eyes could. But dreams reach as far as eye lids I tell myself. In the realm of Ifonly, where lingering thoughts dwell, and chance is enchantment. I dare not follow too deep, until I fall, break bone, and struggle to breathe again at the bottom of my well.
In a dark place I call my home, it is easier to live here, it is easier to conform to change, because it is easier to close my eyes and dream. And in time, the rocks and the slim form blankets to my comfort, I forget how to see, and believe there are stars beyond my well. For such things cannot exist, such as her hand still with mine, or sinking ships full of Aztec gold. It is an illusion, with shine and flicker, dancing before desire, I am drunk with my dreams I tell this demon.
I awake cold, and count the bricks that climb to the top. Counting each strain of muscle I see what I cannot, but do anyways. Brick by brick, I ascend. With slips of minor, and slipping a mind, I am sinking already but I push to stop such thoughts as I carry on. Each brick. In that dark-dark, it becomes a lighter shade of black, and detail starts to form before my eyes. I had forgotten my struggle to delusion, I am happy as I climb and climb.
Days pass, my arms are like sticks tapping against iron, my legs like old men doing the hammer dance, and I am surprised at my body, and perhaps my will. And in a moment, and in a scene, I hear a voice which sounds like me, but isn't me who fell down a well. No, it's the me that is still holding on, as he sings, line for line, starting with, and ending with, it is, it is the eye of the tiger; the will to survive.
I tell this story to my grandkids all the time, they used to like it but now they're older, driving cars, and listening to rap music. I try not to scare them away, or lose their attention, I try harder to get them to visit, but I would be lost without my son, my daughter, and my other son, Fredrick. I guess, I guess it is, after all, to each, their own, after all. Can't touch this! (as the author goes off to do the hammer dance)

This little girl was ADORABLE!!!! Her mom and grandma brought the cutest little outfits for her to wear and she did amazing for her shoot. This is my favorite age to shoot by the way! They can't walk yet but they are sitting and starting to crawl! Such a fun time to capture their little personalities and the milestones they've reached. And they mostly seem to just want to look at me and smile. They make my job fun and easy!

02 Jan THE BURGUNDY PALETTE REVIEW
I was apprehensive on buying Kylie's first Kyshadow palette because I wasn't too fond of the color selection. But because I was so curious about it, I decided to get the Burgundy Palette ($42) since the shades in this palette appealed to me more.
I really wanted to love this palette but even spraying MAC's Fix + ($23) couldn't do magic to the eyeshadow. The color selection is very similar to Anastasia's Modern Renaissance and Huda's Rose Gold Palette which I both love. So, if you do have those palettes, I suggest sticking to them. The swatches I saw online were so different from when I actually had to put the shadows on but then again, finger swatches always look better.
I'd rate this a 7/10 because although the color selection is amazing, there is too much talc in the formulation. It's not as pigmented as I thought it would be and just a little blending here and there would erase almost all the color you've packed onto your lid. I just wish they would tweak the formulation a bit and make it creamier and more pigmented.
I guess what disappointed me most is that I'm not really and eyeshadow type of girl. So I did have a little bit of high expectations from this palette considering I loved the lipkits so much.

Long time no see... I know... too much work, too little time... sorry about that.
I have been craving for a Monome since I first saw them a while ago and now I see an oportunity. I bought an Arduino sometime ago, but have not really used it much... now I know what to do with it, I am going to build an Arduinome, an arduino based monome. I am not planning to buy the sparkfun buttonpads so the first step will be to find some cool buttons.
Check out the whole Arduinome build log here.

Black soldiers fought in Washington's army during the War of Independence, and served with Andrew Jackson at New Orleans in 1815. Late in 1861, Colonel T. W. Higginson took command of the First Regiment of South Carolina Volunteers, the first Black regiment in the service of the United States.
On June 28, 1866, an Act of Congress authorized the creation of six regiments of Black troops, two of cavalry and four of infantry. These troops went on to play a major role in the history of the West, as the "Buffalo Soldiers."
For more then 20 years, the 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments served on the frontier from Montana to Texas, along the Rio Grande in New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and the Dakotas. They built forts and roads, strung telegraph lines, protected railroad crews, escorted stages and trains, protected settlers and cattle drives, and fought Cheyenne, Arapahoe, Kiowa, Comanche, and Apache warriors, among others. Dangers such as cholera and rabid wolves sometimes took more lives than Indian warfare.
The Plains Indians began to call the Black cavalrymen "Buffalo Soldiers" and the troopers accepted the title and wore it proudly. To be associated with the fighting spirit of the Indian's sacred buffalo was a measure of respect.
In 1875-76, the 9th Cavalry Regiment was transferred to the New Mexico District, under command of Colonel Edward Hatch. Two companies were stationed at Fort Bayard, one at Fort McRae, two at Fort Wingate, three at Fort Stanton, one at Fort Union, one at Fort Selden, and one at Fort Garland. In New Mexico, the Buffalo Soldiers participated in campaigns against Victorio, Geronimo, and Nana.
In 1877, a scouting party from Fort Bayard commanded by Lt. Henry Wright, with six men of Company C and three Navajo scouts, was surrounded by a party of 40 to 50 Chiricahuas in the Florida Mountains, near Deming, New Mexico. "Weapons were fired and then used as clubs. In the center of the melee Corporal Clifton Greaves fought like a cornered lion and managed to shoot and bash a gap through the swarming Apaches, permitting his companions to break free....Corporal Greaves was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor." (From The Buffalo Soldiers by William H. Leckie, Univ. of Oklahoma Press)
The conditions the Buffalo Soldiers fought in, while pursuing the Apache, are described in a letter from Colonel Hatch to General Pope, "...the work performed by these troops is most arduous, horses worn to mere shadows, men nearly without boots, shoes and clothing. That the loss in horses may be understood when following the Indians in the Black Range the horses were without anything to eat five days except what they nibbled from pińon pines, going without food so long was nearly as disastrous as the fearful march into Mexico of 79 hours without water, all this by forced marches over inexpressably rough trails...It is impossible to describe the exceeding roughness of such mountains as the Black Range and the San Mateo. The well known Modoc Lava beds are a lawn compared with them." (Hatch to Pope, February 25, 1880)
On September 18, 1879, troopers from Companies B, C, E and G of the 9th Cavalry were ambushed by Victorio, War Chief of the Warm Springs Apaches, at Las Animas Creek in the Black Range of New Mexico. Conflicting reports put the number of troopers killed at either five or six, along with either two or three Navjo scouts. Several troopers were awarded Congressional Medals of Honor, after saving wounded troopers. (From Ambush In Massacre Canyon by Gene Ballinger, The Courier, July 29, 1993).
Elements of the 9th and 10th went on to fight in Cuba, and took part in the charge up San Juan Hill. The 10th Cavalry took part in the expedition against Pancho Villa, with General Pershing. The two regiments were formed into the 4th Cavalry Brigade in 1941, commanded by General Benjamin O. Davis, Sr., at Camp Funston, Kansas. The horse cavalry regiments were disbanded in 1944, and with them, the long and proud history of The Buffalo Soldiers.
The 9th and 10th (Horse) Cavalry Association holds annual reunions at different locations throughout the nation. Associate membership is extended to any person who has rendered outstanding service to the association or the the United States through service either in the Armed Forces or their community

Photo Provided"How to Have the Best Christmas Ever," to be held at Chesapeake Christian Center on December 8 and 9, will feature a multi-generational cast, superlative singing, delightful dancing and food from chef Darryl Jones.
Chesapeake Christian Center to Host Christmas Musical Comedy
While the Chesapeake Christian Center (C3) musical comedy "How to Have the Best Christmas Ever" will celebrate the holiday season on December 8 and 9, it will also encompass a significant message about living in the moment.
"Most of us struggle with romanticizing the past, especially, Christmases of the past," said the Rev. Thom Dawson. "This musical is a reminder that, although times and cultures change, the need for us to be there for whomever we have in our lives is paramount to happiness."
The family-friendly show seeks to portray this idea through the life of a middle-aged mother of two teens, the daughter of a visiting relative, a spouse to a distant man, and the neighbor of an overbearing woman. The mother attempts to keep up with the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, all while becoming distracted from what Christmas truly signifies.
"From [the authors'] creative imaginations, we catch a glimpse into the lives of a wonderful family portrayed in this touching, humorous and meaningful drama," Dawson said. "If we look closer, we just might see a glimpse of ourselves amongst the props, scenes and songs. The musical features lush orchestrations, moving lyrical laments concerning children growing up too soon and hilarious lyrics with celebratory choreography that will delight all ages."
This is the third production hosted by C3, and it "is designed to remind our community of the true meaning of Christmas," said Dawson, who added that "last year's production was a sellout, and another show has been added this year."
With the purchase of a $25 adult ticket and/or a $15 ticket for children, audiences are promised a joyful and meaningful night out, with a tasty dinner included. C3 prides itself on this upcoming production, featuring "a multi-generational cast, superlative singing, delightful dancing, magnificent media, artistic lighting and fabulous food from culinary artist [and] chef Darryl Jones," according to Dawson.
The Friday and Saturday evening shows will be held at 7:00pm and one matinee performance will be hosted on Saturday at 1:00pm. Tickets may be purchased by calling 410-904-2420.
"As a church family, we began rehearsing the music in August, looking forward to these three performances and the smiles that come from lives that are exposed to the truth for the first time," Dawson said. "Our hope is that our community will be enriched by discovering the answer to many of life's questions [that] can be found in the Christmas story and the gift given over 2,000 years ago."

The D.C. Cherry Blossoms are one of the most quintessential Washington events each year.
As The KingofHearts explains it to The Shortlings: "A long time ago, The Japanese government gave the United States all these Cherry Trees as a gift. Every year in the Spring Cherry Trees bloom with all these pretty pink blossoms. So they planted them all around the water here so in the Spring the Tidal Basin would be really beautiful. And now every year, Japan sends its entire population over to D.C. in the month of April to take pictures of those trees and take them back to Japan."
It is crazy crowded down around the edge of the Tidal Basin when they're in bloom and everyone pushes and shoves for the best angle and light to take pictures. So it's exciting too, because there's always the chance that someone might shove you a little too hard and you'll end up taking your photos from within the Tidal Basin... with a wet camera.
Once a few years after I moved here, a couple of beavers took up residence in the Tidal Basin. They came out at nights when no one was looking and did what beavers do: they chewed down trees. Over the course of a week, they felled four of the original ninety year old cherry trees that were a gift from the Japanese government in 1912. It was a giant Thing and there were beaver sightings in the newspapers and on television and much discussion about how to catch them and where to find them and whether to shoot them on sight. D.C. residents were divided along a distinct line: Save the Beaver Groups on one side and Save the Cherry Tree Groups on the other. The city of Washington was brought to it's knees by a couple of rodents that weren't even aware anyone knew of their existence. Eventually, if I remember correctly, the beavers were humanely trapped and relocated... probably to Remsen Park. The Battle of the Beavers had ended.*
But it wasn't the only drama surrounding the trees over the years.
But it wasn't the only drama surrounding the trees over the years.
We took the whole crew down to the Tidal Basin this weekend because I had somehow convinced myself that the parade was on Saturday. While wandering around, I kept wondering why Constitution Avenue wasn't yet closed off yet. "You'd think they'd ready the path a little ahead of the parade's beginning," I kept saying. But I guess three weeks ahead is probably a bit too much to ask.
So instead of the parade, we just walked around and I tried to get a few photos despite the rain and overall crappy light from the overcast day.
I've posted photos of the blossoms before, but keep going back every couple of years to try and outdo myself. Which isn't hard. What is hard is narrowing down which photos to post. Just be glad I was able to get it down to this many.
*look at me, getting through this entire paragraph without once making reference to the possible suggestive use of the word beaver**

So Coool
I was driving and humming, with my daughter T and her friend N sitting and chatting away in the backseat.I let their constant chatter wash me over and continued driving and humming. Suddenly, got interested when I heard T say.."At least One we should get."
I turned and smiled, " What do you want T?"
T ,smiling beatifically, "A fracture Mamma."
"Fracture? Are you mad?"
N :"Aunty ,it is sooo cool."
"Cool? A fracture? It`s painful!"
T and N both insisted that it was more cool than painful.
"Mamma When I get a fracture , I will get a plaster. And then All my friends are going to write on it. And N will stick that Barbie sticker for me and she will even draw smileys, and a butterfly too!"
N " Ya, I will. And if I get it first, then T will do it for me.I want it on my leg."
T : ' Hmm. I prefer the arm."
N: "And you know Aunty ,my brother is getting braces."
T :"So lucky na? I wish I would get them. Mamma ,don`t you think I need at least plates? See this tooth. Its all crooked."
"Please Mamma ,can I get braces. Please. I want the blue ones."
N : "No don`t take blue. Take green or pink. My brother is getting Blue. My mamma says I can`t get them because theres Nothing wrong with my tooth!"
I glanced through the rear view mirror and saw two long faces!
So unhappy that they have perfect teeth and No broken limbs.
The pressure of being uncool is getting on. Sigh!

Second Session for Spring Foxes Painting
I think that the most important thing I did with the background is adding the fallen petals on the ground beneath the trees. This, I think, gives it a touch of authenticity. So tomorrow it's back to the foxes.

UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos doesn't feel like Alistair Overeem should move right back into a title shot upon his return.
Overeem was denied his fight license recently by the Nevada Athletic Commission, and cannot re-apply until December of this year.
Even when "The Reem" does so, dos Santos doesn't believe he should move right into a match with him.
"I would like him to do a test – a blood test. I think we both need to do that," said dos Santos, in a recent interview with ESPN. "I want a clean fight and he needs to prove he is not under any kind of substances. When you have a fight with two 'clean' fighters, you will know after the fight who is the real champion. A guy who uses doping is a fake fighter. I think he doesn't deserve a title shot right now. Overeem needs to have another fight before having a title shot."
"Cigano" defended his title successfully against Frank Mir earlier this year, as Mir replaced Overeem in the contest. It is rumored that dos Santos-Cain Velasquez II will take place later this year.

Open Access Workshop
with Artist Carmen Papalia
Saturday, July 23, 2016, 11am to 3pm
The 8th Floor, 17 W17th St.
RSVP Here
Carmen Papalia, White Cane, Amplified, 2015. Video still
In the Power of Your Care artist Carmen Papalia conducts a participatory workshop on the topic of organizing for accessibility and mutual aid. Sharing a selection of exercises, writing and documentation from his last several years of practice-based research, Papalia will introduce participants to a new, relational model for access based on assessing the conditions of social environments. Toward this end, Papalia will guide participants in unlearning the disabling practices at odds with fair, long-term engagement with local marginalized communities—a necessary first step toward realizing accessibility as an open cultural practice, through which those who are in need may claim support that will empower them to thrive.
Canadian artist Carmen Papalia makes participatory, socially engaged projects on the topic of access as it relates to public space, the art institution and visual culture. In early 2015, Papalia served as Artist-in-Residence at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, UK and at the Model Contemporary Art Centre, Sligo, Ireland, where he assumed the role of Access Coordinator, making site specific interventions in response to the long history of disabling practices at each institution. He recently finished a project in collaboration with Sara Hendran and students from the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering to develop an acoustic mobility device. Papalia's work has been featured as part of exhibitions and engagements at The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Los Angeles Craft and Folk Art Museum, the CUE Art Foundation in New York City, the Grand Central Art Center at California State University, Fullerton, the Portland Art Museum, and the Vancouver Art Gallery, among others.

My name is Nancy. I mom of three. I am madly in love with my husband. And I love Jesus. I am a Vice President at a Christian university near Chicago. I find so much joy in connecting with people and I treasure my family and friends. I strive to help others and love being a leader wherever I am called to do so. I love making memories and creating experiences. I hope to burn both ends of the candle when this is all over. Anything left would be a wasted opportunity.

Hi Nancy, congratulations on your son. I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I am Beth and mom of a beautiful 4 year old daughter who also has Trisomy 21. I started a blog and a youtube channel to connect with other moms and dads in our situation. If you ever wanted to check them out. http://www.myhandsandheartarefull.com You are going to have a lifetime of love, and laughter with your little one. He is going to teach you so very much about so many things you never knew were possible, just wait and see. Much love to you and your family.
Hi Nancy
I found your blog from the might's website. Please don't be afraid of having a child with Down Syndrome. I work with many children who have it and they are absolutely beautiful souls & can go on to have a fantastic lives.
I have a website (www.mumspiration.com.au) and would love for you to write an article for it. It can be the same post that you have done above, or something different. We are particularly trying to build up info around "Prenatal Diagnosis Support" so any input on that would be amazing.
Best wishes for your journey, I trust that you will provide a beautiful family for Cody. xx
Hello Nancy. My name is Rosalyn and I have a four year-old daughter, Kaelyn, who has Down Syndrome. I was one of those moms who after delivering her beautiful baby girl discovered she has Down Syndrone. I was terrified of the unknown with a million questions and worries, but I am thankful and beyond blessed to have her in our lives. You will experience this too with Cody, and it's all worth it. Being a mom means having a piece of your heart outside of you and never really knowing what's going to happen. His sister and brother will also love him very much and will be amazing role models to him, and the help will be wonderful, too 🙂
I loved reading your blog. Please share any concerns and thoughts, we are moms and look out for one another. Have a blessed delivery and keep us posted on baby Cody, please.
Hi Nancy!
Found your post through The Mighty. Our site is Yosoylalay.wordpress.com. We have an almost two-year-old with Ds and a typical 4 year old. If you are interested in getting in touch with other families, let me know. I'm happy to help!! Welcome and congrats!

February Lady Sweater
OK, so now I am working on this:
I was not happy with the Blissful jacket, the collar had a mistake in the directions and I could not figure out how to make it right on my own, plus it looked like it was going to be too short, so I was all in all a little depressed about it. I can't wait to turn that tweed into little sweaters for the guys, they really want me to get going on those. I'm knitting it in Manos Wool color #29, I am enjoying this and it is the first thing that doesn't seem to make the vargated wool look too hippie-ish, which is a look that I cannot pull off no matter how hard I try. The gull lace pattern is pretty easy and fun to do.

Jerry Hund posted the following three photos with the comment:
Several interesting photos from Jim Rueber of the interlocking tower on the CGW/ IHB main lines in my hometown of Bellwood, Illinois. Here's patt of his description as he recalls it. Today, all that remains is the IHB mainline.
The CGW depot book shows this building was 24 X 36 and was jointly owned by the IHB. This tower was always manned by CGW men when I was working for the CGW. I was only in this building a couple of times. The agent along with the operators and clerks were all located in this building.
Jim L Rueber
|1938 Aerial Photo from ILHAP
Recently, I posted about the interlocking tower located in Bellwood, Illinois which was about 1/4 mile West of 25th Ave-@13 miles West of the CGW yard in Chicago. With permission I want to share Jim Ruber's recollection of this tower and the ones in Iowa he worked in. It gives a better perspective of what when on in these towers and their importance.
Hello Jerry -
I think in the early days all the interlockings were mechanical. They consisted of several levers that were connected to long rods that were inside pipes that were mounted on short pedestals spaced along the track out to a signal or switch. The signals were of the blade type that had a green and a red lens, and a kerosene lamp was located in the top of the signal that was lit at night or stormy weather, and if the blade was in the upright position the green light would show and if the blade was extended then the red lens would show. The levers for the conflicting route had to be set at the stop position before the levers could be moved to line up the route for the other road. If there were some switches and derails involved, then a lever would be attached to a rod that controlled these items. Everything had to be in the right position before the levers used to line up the signals for a route, could be moved. As you can imagine, those rods had to be well oiled all the time and a strong leverman to move some of those levers. There was also a time clock connected to these interlockings, so that the operator could not change a route once he had it lined up, until he ran the clock down, usually 3 or 4 minutes. Once a train passed the clock would go back to zero and you could then line up another route right away.
The only interlockings I worked at were at Tower A in Waterloo and at Talmage, Iowa and these were electrical. At Waterloo the tower man also controlled the signals at 3 street crossings. We also copied train orders and sent and received messages and worked up the interchange report each day.
The June 1st, 1899 employee timetable shows at Bellwood a crossing of the CJ. Does not say that it is interlocked. I would guess CJ was the Chicago Junction RR.
The July 7, 1907 employee timetable shows at Bellwood a crossing of the CJ Interlocked.
The Jan 18, 1925 employee timetable shows at Bellwood a crossing of the IHB Interlocked.
The 1952 timetable does not show any crossings at Bellwood. I don't know when a bridge was built at Bellwood so that the IHB went over the CGW. There was a long ramp on the south side that went from the CGW up to the IHB and that is how cars were interchanged.
James Rueber
|Jerry Hund commented on his posting
Here's the view looking South before the elevated tracks. Note the cables in the ground from the old interlocking switch tower.
|Mark Llanuza posted
Its 1976 I'm at the old IHB CGW interchange at Bellwood IL
Berne Ketchum I spent a lot of nights looking down that track for the EB train in the '60s. It had a bunch of reefers of meat to set out for the IHB every night, supposed to be in by 1:15, cut off by 1:30 a.m. Almost never made the time, but it was my job to convince the IHB dispatcher that it had. I got called every kind of liar you can think of, but usually managed to get the time recorded as 1:30 a.m., the contract time for arrival. (The cut-off time was important because if it was before 1:30 a..m., the IHB was responsible for any damage claims for spoilage; after that time, the CGW was responsible.)
As a relief operator I usually ended up working both day and night jobs at Bellwood and Chicago Transfer, which meant I was there pretty much the whole summer. I slept on an army cot in the basement of Bellwood tower at CGW track level. That saved me a lot of money for university tuition.

text: The photocatalytic oxidation of propane was investigated by simultaneous in situ diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and quadrupole mass spectrometry (QMS) on anatase, rutile, and mixed anatase-rutile TiO2 nanoparticles prepared by hydrothermal treatments of microemulsions. The mixed anatase-rutile sample was compared with a commercial sample (Degussa P25) with similar anatase to rutile mol% ratio. The measured carbon mass balance for the different TiO2 materials reveals that the total oxidation rate (propane --> CO2) over the first 25-min illumination period is highest for samples containing large anatase nanoparticles and that mixed anatase-rutile nanoparticles are superior to single-phase anatase nanoparticles. These findings are correlated with the main intermediate surface species observed on the different nanoparticle systems by DRIFTS. In particular, eta(1)-acetone and bridging bidentate formate (mu-formate) is detected. On both anatase and rutile, it-formate is the final hydrocarbon surface species. Further oxidation yields bicarbonate, carbonate, CO2, and H2O. On all TiO2 samples, the concentration of surface intermediates is found to be proportional to the accumulated carbon concentration, as deduced from the gas-phase carbon mass balance measurements. This shows that the rate-determining step is the oxidation of strongly bound surface intermediates. Furthermore, it is found that the rate-determining step is structure-sensitive. On anatase, photo-oxidation of acetone limits the total oxidation, whereas on rutile, formate does so. The latter is attributed to a combination of thermal dissociation of acetone on defect sites, which aids acetone oxidation, and the strong bonding of mu-formate to the (110) surface facets on rutile. A synergetic effect between anatase and rutile particles is observed, where the measured photo-oxidation rate from either QMS or DRIFT exceeds that for the individual constituent particles.
