Butterfly Days
Watching: Deja Vu
Reading: The Guernsay Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
Listening to: cicadas
Making me smile: Butterflies dancing on air!
It's nearly the end of the "Season of Butterflies"! Over the past couple of weeks these beautiful, delicate creatures have been everywhere and a walk across our grassy paddock produces a gorgeous, unchoreographed aerial ballet.
I've been particularly aware of this seasonal indicator since we visited Brambuk up in Halls Gap in Western Victoria where the Season of Butterflies is called ballambar. It's early summer and runs loosely from the middle of November until the end of January.
The indigenous people of Gariwerd use nature to determine six seasons rather than having them set by calendar dates and to do this, they observe the behaviour of plants and animals as well as climate.
I don't know if the name, ballambar, can be applied to the part of Victoria where I live but it's definitely the season of butterflies here.
We found a small wattle tree with an odd collection of rather unattractive pupae. By keeping a watch on them, I caught them as the butterflies were starting to emerge and took some photographs. I couldn't find the name of the butterfly but it's the lovely pale blue creature above with its striking tail markings.
So are there any seasonal indicators that you're particularly aware of? How did you learn about them? Is it something you noticed yourself, something you read about or something that's been passed on to you by someone else?

My favourite seasonal markers in NZ are the pohutakawa trees. They are huge, ancient trees that cling to the seashore and over Christmas, they are smothered in crimson flowers. I get a tingle every December when I see the first blooms coming out. They herald celebrations, family and summer holidays.

What a gorgeous post, Sharon! How lovely to be walking in fields thick with butterflies.
My mother used to tell me that when the murraya bushes (mock orange) go into full bloom, it's an indicator of much rain ahead. And she was right! - February 2, 2011 at 7:06 AM

Hi Sharon,
Fascinating post. Thanks for the pics! Change of season? I suppose we know it's summer when the rotten channel-billed cuckoos arrive and start making a racket, and of course when the cicadas start. Where I used to live summer meant raspberry season (yum) and cherries for sale. Can you tell it's breakfast time? Right now we're seeing lots of baby birds who hopefully will make it past the predators.
By the way, I love the book you're reading. - February 2, 2011 at 7:18 AM

Loved the post Sharon and the pictures one thing that I have always been told by my Mum was that when you see the ants moving "house" it means we are in for rain and lots of it.
At the moment I just wish it would cool down a bit it is so hot here in Sydney
Have Fun

Sharon, what a lovely post. And what a pretty butterfly. We don't get that one up here. I currently have a big flowering buckinghamia in my garden and the butterflies are going nuts on the nectar. Wonderful! Helen, my mum believed that about ants too and I think she's right. We have lots of ants at the moment which will be no surprise. Actually here in south-east Queensland, we don't have really straongly delineated seasons but you can chart the year by what's in flower.

Hi Sharon,
aren't butterflies the most beautiful creatures?!
Just heard that all the birds in the rainforest are GONE - ALL of them! with that terrible cyclone approaching. Always amazes me how animals just know.
Around my house, whenever ants build up their nests, rain is coming and apparently (aboriginal lore?) however high those nests are is how much rain we'll get. Another indicator that works every time, is the spiders that come inside. (I live on ground level). In those floods, up to a week beforehand those garden spiders were constantly coming in. - February 2, 2011 at 10:00 AM
- Sharon Archer said...
Ooo, Zana, I LOVE the pohutakawas! They're known as the "New Zealand Christmas tree", too, aren't they? Anyway, that's a marvellous example of a seasonal marker!
Sharon - February 2, 2011 at 12:24 PM
- Sharon Archer said...
Vanessa, isn't that murraya bush a great marker for the weather! I'll bet they've been blooming their hearts out this year!

Hi Sharon,
I know this is totally nerdy... but your beautiful photos made me dig out my Butterfly book. I think your pale blue butterfly is Jalmenus evagoras evagoras, the common imperial blue. He is gorgeous and I love the detail at the end of his tail. Great photos!
Cath (the nerd!) - February 2, 2011 at 12:28 PM
- Sharon Archer said...
Hi Annie, the book is amazing, isn't it! I read a couple of blogs about it and just knew I had to get a copy - I'm sure yours was one of the blogs I read and the other was Michelle Douglas, from memory. It's a very moving story and the 'correspondence' format is just a bit different and it works very well.
Yes, to the cicadas! I find them fascinating - they seem to have a secret signal so they all stop at the same time. One minute the noise is really defeaning and the next, total silence!
Sharon - February 2, 2011 at 12:28 PM
- Sharon Archer said...
Thanks, Helen! Commiserations on the heat up there. We had nearly 40 degrees on Monday. UGH! But Sydney is so humid with it that I think the heat is harder to bear.
Absolutely with the ants - actually they'll have had a VERY busy year this year!
Sharon - February 2, 2011 at 12:30 PM
- Sharon Archer said...
Anna, I've seen pictures of your fabulous buckinghamia!
I'm glad you like my butterfly pics - I've been stalking them to get these photos. They don't stay still for long! Just as well our neighbours don't live too close or they'd be thinking I was very strange! LOL
Sharon - February 2, 2011 at 12:32 PM
- Sharon Archer said...
Mel, that cyclone is HUGE! Terrifying! The rainforest must be an eerie place with the birds having left - a real warning in that, isn't there?
I like your extra bit of ant lore about the height of the nest. LOL on the spiders coming inside - they don't like to get their feet wet, do they?

- Emily May said...
I love the photos, Sharon!
This year I've been marking the seasons by the birds I feed just outside my window. In spring, the parents came to grab beakfuls of food to take back to their babies, and then before Christmas the first of the fledgling wax-eyes arrived to feed for themselves. In the last week or two, the baby sparrows have started arriving -- they obviously hatch a lot later than the wax-eyes! - February 2, 2011 at 12:37 PM
- Sharon Archer said...
YES! YES! That's it, Cath! You are clever - not nerdy at all!
I hopped over to Google to check it out and it absolutely confirms your identification. I saw the caterpillars with ants swarming all over them. At first I wondered if they were attacking them but then I could see that wasn't the case. So now I know the ants were there for the honeydew that the caterpillars produce!
Thank you for looking them up for me!
Sharon - February 2, 2011 at 12:48 PM
- Sharon Archer said...
Emily, birds are a lovely way to mark the seasons. We've had gorgeous blue wrens bringing up their family in the diosma at the back door. Of course, it does mean that the kitchen window is now a mess with tiny beak scrapes from the male "seeing off" his reflection in case it's a rival for the affections of his mate! But well worth a bit of elbow grease for the fun of watching them!
Sharon - February 2, 2011 at 1:00 PM

So glad you think I'm not a nerd, Sharon :-) And I got your butterfly right. Phew!

Hi Sharon,
What a lovely post! How lovely to be walking in fields thick with butterflies.
I know when we have mango season then its cyclone/hurricane season here as well. So we have lot of mangoes in season this year and I hear cyclone is not far behind. - February 2, 2011 at 2:58 PM
- Sharon Archer said...
Seriously, Cath, I'm rapt! Thanks to you I've discovered the australian Museum's great website and a butterfly identification file!

- Sharon Archer said...
Hey, Nas - I LOVE mangoes but it's a bit grim that they seem to be a marker for the arrival of cyclone season! That's a case of the cloud which belongs to the tasty silver lining, isn't it!
Sharon - February 2, 2011 at 3:47 PM
- Michelle Douglas said...
Sharon, your butterflies are beautiful!
I'm afraid my seasonal indicator isn't anywhere near as romantic, but... When the possums start fighting, hissing and chasing each other across our (tin) roof in September, I know spring has sprung. :-) - February 2, 2011 at 6:13 PM
- Anna Hackett said...
Hi Sharon --
What beautiful pictures!
Up here in the tropics the arrival of the (very noisy) black cockatoos signals the arrival of the wet season. - February 3, 2011 at 8:10 AM
- Sharon Archer said...
LOL, Michelle! Those possums are dreadful when they cavort across the roof at all hours of the night! Hard to believe they're as small as they are for the racket they make! And then there's that awful rattling cough they make as well! Nope, not romantic! ;)
- February 3, 2011 at 12:02 PM
- Sharon Archer said...
Hi Anna,
Are your noisy visitors red-tailed black cockatoos?
We have the yellow-tailed ones visit us down here occasionally - they're rather fond of our hakea bush and give it a jolly good pruning each time. They make loud but fairly musical squeals compared to their raucous cousins, the sulphur-crested white cockatoos.
Sharon - February 3, 2011 at 12:07 PM
- Kylie Griffin said...
Not at all as naturally romantic as some of the other posts but you know harvest (which happens about 2-3 times a year depending on the weather) has arrived when all the native birds start appearing on the fences and roads in the area.
The ones on the roads are eating the grain that fall off the trucks as they deliver the crops to the silos.
Unfortunately, harvest also means higher fatality rate as the birds are so heavy with grain they can't avoid traffic as quickly as they usually do. :-( - February 4, 2011 at 8:26 AM

Love the butterfly photos, Sharon!
Since we moved out of the city, I've been noticing the wildflowers and their seasonal flowering times. My favourites flower in the winter, so I look forward to them all year. One is a deep purple, a bit like an orchid, and when it flowers I realise that more little bushes have grown since last winter but were hiding. :) The whole area looks green and purple for those weeks. - February 4, 2011 at 1:49 PM
- Kandy Shepherd said...
Sorry I'm late visiting, Sharon!
What an excellent post.
This year I have been excited to see so many butterflies--more than I can remember ever seeing. At my little farm in the Blue Mountains there have been hundreds of them.
A few weeks ago I looked over near my huge old pear tree to see a flurry of the orange and brown ones dancing on an air current in what seemed to be a figure of eight pattern. It was one of the most beautiful things I've seen. (Please don't tell me they were preparing to lay a million eggs and have my pear tree devoured by caterpillars! If they did, they are welcome--it was worth it to see them!) - February 4, 2011 at 3:08 PM
- Sharon Archer said...
Kylie! Ugh about the poor birds gorging themselves on the grain to the detriment of their aerodynamics! Gotta watch the hidden cost of those free lunches!
Sharon - February 4, 2011 at 5:34 PM
- Sharon Archer said...
Rachel, your purple bushes sound like a great seasonal marker! Divine to have that splash of colour for winter!
Sharon - February 4, 2011 at 5:35 PM
- Sharon Archer said...
Hi Kandy! How lovely that you're having a season of butterflies too. I'm sure they wouldn't be so rude as to be after your pear tree... but it they are, you won't hear it from me!

Balancing Keyword Density for Content Optimization
Keyword density as it concerns content optimization, is the percentage that a keyword appears in your content, as compared to the total number of words in your content. There was a time when keyword density was extremely important to your search engine rankings. Today, not so much. At least, not in the way it used to be.
A little keyword density history
Over time, a couple of things began to happen. First, online content writers became proficient in applying keywords, and this method of website optimization became the norm. Second, webmasters began to take advantage of keywords, to the point that they abused them. Terms like keyword stuffing, search spam and spamdexing came about as a result of this abuse. Essentially, search engines are smart enough to realize when content has too many keywords and this can result in lower rankings for your website. In fact, it is Google's policy to remove a website from their search engines if they find this happening. Why? One, they find it unethical, and two, keywords repeated endlessly renders your content useless to the reader. Remember, Google searches for quality content.
So when it comes to keyword density, content optimization doesn't just mean slapping some keywords in your content to get noticed by the search engines. You need to find that perfect balance for content optimization. Too much is a bad thing; too little is not good enough. Most experts state that anywhere from 2 to 8 percent is a decent balance for keyword density. If that's all we can use our keywords, then we better use them wisely.
Three things to do to "optimize" your keywords
- Give them prominence: put them in your title, near the top of the page, and in the start of your sentences.
- Give them proximity: that means, put two of your keywords, or keyword phrases together if you can do so naturally. For instance, if I am writing an article on content optimization, it would be good to start a sentence with these two phrases: When you are writing for the web, it is good to have search engine optimized content. The words in italices are the keywords (or phrases) in this situation.
- For the advanced writer, try to include a keyword or phrase in an H1 or H2 title tag. Search engines give these words a little higher priority than words buried elsewhere in your content.
If you do these things, and you always keep in mind that you need to maintain between 2 and 8 percent keyword density, you will have created keyword rich pages.

I think ideal keyword density is below 5%
"Near the top" is going to start becoming increasingly important as Google starts identifying "above the fold" content (per Matt Cutts' recent comments).
Don't forget to use stems and related terms as well:

text: Buffalo, NY (WBEN) Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz says it appears a one year extension on the current lease is likely betwen the Bills, the county and the state while a long term lease is being hammered out. "I talked to Russ (Brandon) about the current situation of unlikely being able to meet the deadline to present something to the NFL owners by October," says Poloncarz. "I am pleased in principle, they agree we can do a one year extension of the current lease, so there's no gun to our heads to get it done in July. We will get a lease done." Poloncarz says the state is a key player in the lease. "They are partners in a future long term lease, and we hope all three parties can be in a position to resolve this soon," says Poloncarz. "We have held meetings and we will continue to work to get this done. If a meeting is to be called, we're going to be at the meeting. Getting the lease done is a top priority in my administration."

Oprah to interview cyclist Lance Armstrong on doping
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lance Armstrong has agreed to a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey where he will address allegations that he used performance-enhancing drugs during his cycling career.
According to a release posted on Oprah's website on Tuesday, it's the first interview with Armstrong since his athletic career crumbled under the weight of a massive report by USADA detailing allegations of drug use by the famous cyclist and teammates on his U.S. Postal Service teams.
It's unclear if the interview at Armstrong's home in Austin, Texas, has already been taped. Nicole Nichols, a spokeswoman for Oprah Winfrey Network & Harpo Studios, declined comment.
The show will air at 9 p.m. EST on Jan. 17 on OWN and Oprah.com.
Armstrong has strongly denied the doping charges that led to him being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles, but The New York Times reported Friday he has told associates he is considering admitting the use of PEDS.
The newspaper report cited anonymous sources, and Armstrong attorney Tim Herman told The Associated Press that night that he had no knowledge of Armstrong considering a confession.
Earlier Tuesday, "60 Minutes Sports" reported the head of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency told the show a representative for Armstrong offered the agency a "donation" in excess of $150,000 several years before an investigation by the organization led to the loss of Armstrong's Tour de France titles.
In an interview for the premiere airing on Showtime on Wednesday night, USADA CEO Travis Tygart said he was "stunned" when he received the offer in 2004.
"It was a clear conflict of interest for USADA," Tygart said. "We had no hesitation in rejecting that offer."
Herman denied such an offer was made. Continued...
"No truth to that story," Herman wrote Tuesday in an email to the AP. "First Lance heard of it was today. He never made any such contribution or suggestion."
Tygart was traveling and did not respond to requests from the AP for comment. USADA spokeswoman Annie Skinner said Tygart's comments from the interview were accurate. In it, he reiterates what he told the AP last fall: That he was surprised when federal investigators abruptly shut down their two-year probe into Armstrong and his business dealings, then refused to share any of the evidence they had gathered.
"You'll have to ask the feds why they shut down," Tygart told the AP. "They enforce federal criminal laws. We enforce sports anti-doping violations. They're totally separate. We've done our job."

text: I woke up this morning looking forward to two things in sports. One is the basketball game tonight in Boston. The other is the end of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. It couldn't matter less to me at this point who wins, although I suppose it's possible that the inevitability of a Kings win plays some part in my apathy. I wrote about this subject a couple of weeks ago and don't intend a thorough rehash here. I remain open to the possibility that there are many factors that have resulted in my boredom with the hockey playoffs this year. The least of which is almost certainly not the bad taste left in my mouth from a disappointing season by the Sabres.. But you know what? Enough of the excuses. I'm guilty of over thinking a lot of this stuff too often. The hockey sucks right now. That, more than any of the other factors is the biggest problem. When it can be regularly pointed out that one team or the other has gone 10 minutes or more without a shot on goal, you have a problem. Few who cover hockey want to dump all over it's marquee event, but it might as well be 1999 all over agiain. I reference the last time the Sabres were there because while it was going on we were completely wrapped up in how great it was. That's what happens when it's your team. You don't see the game for what it is, which is a boring series where the highlights are how many shots Craig Ludwig can block with his giant shin-pads the size of snow plows and who can get away with the most interference. Seriously, have you ever watched any of those games back? I have. Removed from the drama of having a chance to win the Cup, the games are hideous. I realize you can't entirely remove the drama and maybe that's getting it done for you while the Devils and Kings bear-hug each other all over the ice. Recently, Flyers/Blackhawks and Red Wings/Penguins twice provided much more in the way of good, entertaining hockey and I didn't really give a lick who won those series. Too bad they didnt make it. Maybe the Penguins need to teach Malkin and Crosby how to block more shots and interfere more effectively. Furthermore, the Sabres would have, to varying degrees, been a pretty big disappointment each of those years as well. So the disillusion because my team sucks explanation doesn't really hold up either. If you're enjoying this, I'm glad for you. Really I am. I hate it and can't wait until its over. The basketball on the other hand has totally got me. Tuesday night I could not turn off Celtics/ Heat. Not that I turn off the hockey games. They usually do just put me to sleep, literally. Ok, not exactly. Confession time. The hockey has so bored me at times that when the games are going to overtime I say to myself, "well, there's only going to be one more goal" and hit the DVR. Think about that. You might think I'm just being lazy, or old, or tired. I was all of those things watching Celtics/Heat and despite knowing the final 2-minutes would take 20-minutes to play, I was wide awake. With the Celtics and the Heat I've got aging champions with an incredible younger talent in Rondo against the delusional dream team from Miami. Maybe delusional is pushing it, but they are on the ropes here in year two of what was supposed to be an annual parade to, well, a parade. Rooting against Lebron James feels as good as rooting for a great player to fail possibly can. That alone would have probably drawn me in. Adding Pierce, Garnett, Allen and Rondo to the party gets it done in a big way. Stars, baby. I know those guys. Last year, when the Heat were losing to Dallas, I knew who Dirk Nowitzki was and the idea of his finally showing off his incredible talent was an easy point of entry into the NBA Finals despite not really fiollowing the game all season. Anze Kopitar doesn't do the same thing for me even though I am a much bigger hockey fan than I am a basketball fan.

An exclamation, referring to talented basketball player and alleged rapist Kobe Bryant, used when someone does something requiring skill or great luck pretending to be skill. Created by Dave Chappelle when throwing a used condom into the trash can after prematurely ejaculating in an episode of Chappelle Show. (Tosses piece of trash toward the trash can, goes in) KOBE!

A famous basketball player. He is very good, has lots of fans and lots of haters. He is no where near as good as michael jordan but he is the closest to mike in the nba right now, excluding lebron. He averages like 25 points a games and like 4 assists throughout his career.
Something you say after you make a basket. A word that was made very popular by a funny black man named dave chappelle . Fan - Yo, kobe is nice, he gets mad points.
Hater - Cuz he's a ballhog. Fan - No he's still gets like 5 assists a game. Fan - You got to admit that kobe's "the man". Hater - Yea well... he's still a raper. Dave Chappelle - Yea son, yea. You want some of that? kobeeeee. *Scores basket. |

When you throw a piece of trash into a trash can, you celebrate by making it and you exclaim Kobe! Sitting at a lunch table, throw away a bad sandwhich, make it in. "KOBE!!"

Borders' Bid for B&N Will Go Nowhere Fast
When Barnes & Noble announced it was looking for a buyer, we entertained the fanciful notion that struggling rival Borders might put in a bid. As absurd as the idea was, that buyout offer has been made. Here's why it has virtually no chance of succeeding.

MicroDry® Ultimate Luxury Memory Foam Bath Mat
Step out of your tub onto the luxurious comfort of this unique bath mat. The Microdry® top fabric is super soft and absorbs water twice as fast as other materials, making it extra gentle and ultra absorbent. Filled with memory foam, it cushions your feet and feels great while you dry off and get ready for the day. The slip-resistant base when placed on a dry surface ensures that the bath mat grips firmly to the floor for safety. Face is 85% polyester/15% polyamide. Fill is 100% polyurethane foam. Machine wash. Imported.
Warning: For use outside of the tub. Always place mat on a dry surface before use.
MicroDry® Ultimate Luxury Memory Foam Bath Mat
It's great, at first...
These things are great at first. So soft and plushy. But don't be tempted to buy. As all the other negative reviews say these things are extremely slippery, never dry, and are impossible to clean. These issues make this product completely impractical for the bathroom. Instead of that soft plushy feeling you're hoping for, you'll get a cold, wet, squishy feeling on your feet every morning. Between that, it being ruined in the wash, or, worst of all, taking a bad slip and fall, sooner than later you'll throw yours out. No bath mat is worth this much money and drama.

Poor Quality
Do not buy these bath mats! They are poorly made. The memory foam absorbs and retains water causing the mats to always be wet and mildew. They are supposed to be machine washable, but the pieces of memory foam fall apart inside the mat after washing. The only member of my household who enjoyed using these mats was my cat who would urinate on them....
March 14, 2013
Love it!!!
I read reviews before I purchased this rug. Wasn't sure if I should purchase or not. Decided to try it. I LOVE IT!! It looks good & absorbs water well. It stays put & feels good under my feet. I would recommend this product highly!!! Thanks :-)

Love This Over "Conventional" Rugs
Husband, Mom, 2 teenage boys, a cat + 2 dogs are in & out of the bathroom where I have 3 rugs: Contour, 17x24, and the runner. All in Linen color. I don't have an issue with color fading or with everything showing on the rugs as previous reviewers have mentioned. All 3 rugs wash up beautifully and I let them air dry out back. I do not have an HE washer, so I wash the runner by itself and the other 2 rugs with a few towels. I do not run into issues with having to "air dry" the mats between showers - the 3 guys using this shower every weekday morning. I'm getting ready to purchase additional rugs for a 2nd bathroom, in either Ivory or Blue (haven't quite made up my mind here, and may go as dark as Charcoal).

POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — For a tune-up, the Point Pleasant boys soccer team looked like a well-oiled machine Tuesday night during a 2-0 victory over visiting Winfield in a non-conference matchup at Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field in Mason County.
The host Black Knights (9-6-1) are scheduled to face the Generals (15-4-1) next week in a Class AAA sectional semifinal, so Tuesday night was more about getting a feel for their postseason opponent.
Point Pleasant was outshot in the contest, but the hosts managed to make the most of their opportunities — scoring a goal apiece in each half.
Wyatt Wamsley netted a pass from Trenton Bailes in the fifth minute for an early 1-0 edge, which lasted until the intermission. Steven Porter added an unassisted goal in the 47th minute to wrap up the 2-0 triumph.
Winfield — which missed several scoring opportunities — had its best chance slip to the wayside in the first half after PPHS keeper Brady Reymond made a save on a penalty kick. The save ricocheted off of Reymond and allowed the Generals another point-blank shot, which Reymond also turned away for a save.
The Black Knights — winners of two straight — will face the Generals at 8 p.m. Tuesday night in a Class AAA sectional semifinal at Hurricane High School.

I have tiny wrists so whenever I see people's arm swag I admit, I do get a little bit jealous that I can't pull it off. Bracelets are either too big where I can't even clip the lock....or the bracelet hangs loosely. Failure.
To solve the problem I resorted to putting my bracelets on my upper arm.
Is this still arm swag?
Maybe this is a good tip for those who have tiny wrist as well?

One thing that is certain with dubturbo in your online business is you will be faced with more decisions then you realized.
It is always the very early stages that pose the greatest threat to success or even continuing with the endeavor.
If you find that terribly disconcerting, then it is all right if you can get past it and keep momentum going.
Just keep slugging away, and learn as you go because the most important element is taking action.
When it comes to fouling-up or committing mistakes, take a look at anything else you may do and you will see mistakes are totally normal.
All you need to do aside from pay attention and learn is make it far enough so you become more capable.
We tend to think you cannot have enough diversity in your marketing affairs, just as long as they are solid and grounded in common sense.
The reason people subscribe to and read your blog is because you update the content regularly.
Your blog readership and subscriber base will suffer if you are inconsistent with the frequency of your blog posts.
In order to post on your blog often, it's important that you come up with new blog post ideas, without which you won't really see much response from your readers nor the search engines.
Exactly what does it take to get creative with your new ideas for blog posts?
Write About Your Experiences: You can use your own experiences to write interesting blog posts, especially if you relate them to your niche in some way.
You'll find lots of highly popular blogs in multiple niches that are filled with blog posts all about the experiences that blogger has had.
This is great if you're an expert in a specific topic, as your experiences could be really helpful to those reading.
A lot of people see others' experience is a valuable source for invaluable information and a way to gather real world knowledge.
It makes no difference which niche you choose, just so long as you relate your own experiences with it for your readers to benefit from.
Never be afraid to relate how you learned something and what happened as a result of that, as you'll be helping others master their own learning curves too.
You can have an advantage in some respects by learning why business on the web is so different from the offline world.
What is also interesting and curious is that one change with a large business can set off a cascading effect with other related businesses.
Certainly, taking something for granted can be a dangerous proposition since it can always change so as to be unrecognizable.
If millionaire society is possibly something you can include with the way you promote, then that is a positive but think about what that could possibly mean in terms of the long term.
But ask your self the tough questions about longevity and any possibilities for future problems.
Due diligence and make your decision about it; go or no go – experiment and test everything and have no fear.
Alternate Thinking : If you really want your content to be different then you will have to focus on being different than the others in your niche.
A wise strategy for getting great ideas for new blog posts involves acquiring a new viewpoint.
If you see a post about doing a Google AdWords campaign, then try to submit a post about handling an MSN Ad Center campaign instead.
Since Google and Microsoft are very essential pay per click platforms, you provide the same suggestions, but just change the foundation of the article.
This is so that the readers in your niche can enjoy your article as well.
This is since it's aiming at helping in the same area.
Interact with Bloggers: You gain an edge over the competition as you build strong relationships with other bloggers.
Be sure to communicate with them regularly, through email, chat, or whatever method you can.
Doing this gives you the opportunity to learn from their experience, gather tips, get their opinion, etc.
And thanks to social networking sites like Facebook, it is not that difficult to stay in touch with a bunch of people at the same time.
So make sure you get to know other bloggers as much as you can.
In summary, this article should show you just how easy it is to find unique and interesting blog post ideas, so keep these tips in mind and you'll always have ideas when you need them.

Favorite dress
I got this dress a few years ago in the pink and I love this dress. It is my favorite for spring and summer. So comfortable and the pleats are very flattering esp. for someone large busted like me. Just wish it came in a few more colors.
Johnson City TN
Wish it had Fit!
Ordered this dress in a SM (they didn't have X-SM) and it overwhelmed my 5'1" 108lbs frame (length and size from hips down). Loved the material -- soft, t-shirt material, but a bit on the "heavy" side with the added pleats. An average frame would look fantastic in this in their regular size. If you have a small frame this dress is not for you.

A Greenville, Ind., man faces criminal charges after allegedly exposing himself to shoppers at the Leitchfield Wal-Mart store.
Roger D. Gibson, 48, has been charged with indecent exposure, first degree, a misdemeanor. He was taken to the Grayson County Detention Center, where he was later released after posting bond. The date of his next scheduled court appearance was not available Tuesday morning.
According to Leitchfield Police Detective Kevin Smith, a woman approached an off-duty police officer around 5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 5, and said a man had been exposing himself inside the store.
The officer — Police Chief Bart Glenn — detained the man until other officers arrived on the scene.
Smith said the woman did what anyone should do if confronted by an exhibitionist — get to safety, then notify law enforcement.
"Never approach the person, and never confront them," he said. "You don't know if the person is armed, or what the person is capable of."
He said once you reach safety, try to keep an eye on the exhibitionist if possible so you can help inform police officers of his or her whereabouts.

TUESDAY, December 3, 1872.The Senate met at ten o'clock a.m.--President Friedley in the chair.
The session was opened by prayer by Rev. J. H. Bayliss, of Roberts Park M. E. Church.
The Secretary's journal of yesterday's proceedings was read and approved.
The following described petitions and memorials were referred to appropriate committees.
By Mr. HUBBARD, a petition from citizens of St. Joseph county, praying for the repeal of the Drainage and Reclaimation of Wet Land Acts.
By Mr. DWIGGINS. From citizens of Starke and Jasper counties on the same subject.
By Mr. WINTERBOTHAM. On the same subject.
Mr. BROWN, from the Judiclary Committee submitted a report, returning the joint resolution [H. R. --] agreeing to the amendment proposed by the last General Assembly concerning the debt chargeable upon the Wabash and Erie Canal, with a favorable recommendation thereon.
Mr. BROWN returned from the Judiciary Committee the bill [H. R. 27] concerning interest on judgments, with an amendment to the title by striking out the words "a bill," and inserting in lieu thereof the words "an act," and when so amended recommending its passage.
He also returned from the same committee the bill [H. R. 7] providing that Justices shall have original jurisdiction in certain cases of misdemeanors where the penalty does not exceed a fine of $25, with amendments clerical only.
Also, from the same committee, the bill [S. 71] to amend sections 7 and 49, of the settlement of decedents estates act of June 5, 1S52, with a favorable report, and with amendments providing that letters of administration may be taken out within five days and a sale may take place upon twelve days notice.
Also, the bill [S. 72] to amend section 127 of the general practice act, with a favorable recommendation.
He also returned from the same committee the bill [S. 76] to define the crime of libel, with a similar report.
Also, the bill [S. 75] defining the law and fixing punishment for verbal slander, with a like recommendation.
He also returned the libel bill [S. 73], with a recommendation that it lay on the table.
These reports were severally concurred in.
He also returned a resolution from the same committee, concerning the rights of married women, recommending that it lie on the table. [The resolution was one of inquiry as to the expediency of passing a law extending to married women the same page: 153[View Page 153]rights as to holding property and making contracts that are enjoyed by unmarried women.]
Mr. HUBBARD said that in the course of his practice, his attention had often been called to the condition of our laws on this subject. Under the old English law, when a man married a woman he took her property and her debts, substantially. He was liable for all contracts made by her, necessary for persons in their condition in life. But we have changed all that. We give a married woman the right to hold any property that a man can hold, or she could hold when she was single, and we have not made her liable for general indebtedness. The consequence is, it is rendered possible for a woman to make contracts in her own name, and not be liable generally on a single one of those contracts. There is, as Senators are aware, but a small cla s of contracts on which a married woman can be held liable--where it is directly for the benefit of her separate property--her real estate. Then, with all the rights of property that a man has, she is not liable for any indebtedness whatever. That is the condition of the laws.
A large amount of real estate and personal property is in the hands of married women, whose husbands are conducting the business generally, and yet the former are not responsible for a cent of indebtedness. The property is put into the wife's hands when the husband is unembarrassed, and when misfortune comes it is found, too late by the creditors, that they are not responsible, that the wives have for years held every cent of their property. In some other States, Michigan and New York, for instance, a married woman is made responsfble for her contracts the same as when single. It is commonly supposed by citizens of this State that when a creditor holds a note signed by a married woman, she holding the property, the note is good. But this is not the case. The note is no better than blank paper. The law ought to be changed so that liability shall follow the possession of property.
Mr. BROWN said the committee examined the bill and the propositions contained in it, and he thought came to a very wise and correct conclusion. He had about all the trouble he wanted to live with his wife under the present law, and if the proposition of the Senator over the way [Mr. Hubbard] should be adopted, he didn't know that he would be able to live with her at all. [Laughter.] If the Senator is in favor of subordinating mankind to womankind he did not know that he should object, but as long as the Senator shook the pantaloons at him he must allow him to put them on and wear them, It seemed to him that more family difficnlties occurred and more divorce suits were instituted because of the increasing change of the law by which women were invested with rights hitherto unknown to them. It brings about family quarrels and family trouble, and he, for one, was in favor of abridging rather than enlarging what are commonly known as the rights of married women.
The hardship of which the Senator speaks can be said in reference to any branch of the law. It is generally supposed that a man knows the law. If a man contracts with a married woman he is generally supposed to know what the law is in relation to that kind of contract. A woman can hold in her own right property that she acquires by devise or descent. But if she earns money by her own labor, that is her husband's. He is entitled to her wages and the proceeds of her wages. Therefore, he said, it was right that a woman should not be allowed to set up an independent business of her own. to carry it on by contracting, selling, trading and dickering, because the proceeds of all that kind of service which she may perform belong to her husband. He should have the supervision and control of it. If the law is changed as the Senator wants it changed, in his opinion it would bring about domestic discord and trouble.
Mr. HUBBARD said the object of the resolution was to protect the rights of the creditors of married women. Under the present law she has the same rights of holding property that a man has. The object of the bill is to prevent the creditors from being defrauded. So far as dissensions and discord in the family were concerned he thought the family relations were as harmonious now as they were a hundred years ago before the changes in the law respecting the rights of married women were made. According to the law of Indiana, if a married woman makes a contract with reference to her separate property, it must be for the benefit of that property, and if a court of equity thinks that she has made a foolish contract, it will set it aside. In one case in St. Joseph county a man sold a woman feed for her cow and could not collect the debt. It was to provide against such outrages as these that the resolution was introduced.
The vote on concurrence in the report of the committee resulted as follows:
YEAS--Messrs. Bird, Boone, Bowman, Brown, Cave, Collett, Daggy, Dittemore, Harney, Rosebrugh, Scott, Stceele, Stroud, Williams, Winterbotham, Mr. President--16.
page: 155[View Page 155]NAYS==Messrs. Armstrong, Beardsley, Beeson, Bunyan, Daugherty, Dwiggins, Francisco, Freidley, of Scott; Gregg, Hall, Haworth, Howard, Hubbard, Miller, Neff, Oliver, Orr, Rhodes, Sarnighausen, Slater, Sleeth, Smith, Taylor, Thompson, Wadge--25.
Pending the roll call--Mr. BOONE, in explanation of his vote, said he regarded it as much the duty of men to inquire into and understand the law relating to the rights of married women as the law regulating contracts with minors, he should therefore vote "aye."
Mr. SCOTT, in explaining his affirmative vote, thought the Senate was in somewhat the condition that Moses found himself in at one time; if they were not on holy ground it was at least dangerous. He was in favor of the spirit of the resolution, but did not quite like its form. He referred to another bill covering nearly all the points he desired, and for that reason should vote "aye;" otherwise he should vote "no."
The vote was then announced as above recorded.
So the report was not concurred in.
Mr. BROWN moved to amend the resolution by adding, "and to exercise the elective franchise."
Mr. NEFF moved to lay the amendment on the the table.
The motion was agreed to by yeas, 27; nays, 14; as follows:
YEAS--Messrs. Armstrong, Beeson, Bowman, Bunyan, Cave, Daggy, Daugherty, Francisco, Gregg, Hall, Harney, Haworth, Howard, Hubbard, Miller, Neff, Oliver, Orr, Sarnighausen, Slater, Sleeth, Smith, Stroud, Thompson, Wadge, Williams, Mr. President--27.
NAYS--Messrs. Beardsley, Bird, Boone, Brown, Collett, Dittemore, Dwiggins, Freidley of Scott; Steele, Taylor, Winterbotham--14.
Pending the roll-call, Mr. HUBBARD, in explanation of his vote, thought that the subject of the resolution was too serious a matter to be trifled with, and inasmuch as the Senate did not seem disposed to treat the matter with the seriousness it deserved, he should vote to lay the amendment on the table.
Mr. SCOTT, when his name was called, said he should vote for the amendment in all seriousness. It is a matter that will be pressed here, and will not be considered a trifling matter. The constitution may need to be amended, but the resolution did not preclude the inquiry by the committee to ascertain--and it is very pertinent to ascertain--whether the constitution should not be amended so as to allow females to vote. Certainly any proposition which involves the rights of one-half of the citizens of this State, ought not to be considered a trifling matter.
Mr. SLATER, when his name was called, said: Mr. President--No man possesses a deeper veneration for woman than I possess for her moral, physical and intellectual nature. But her intellectual nature is different from that of man. In all Christendom she has nowhere, with the exception of Wyoming, been admitted to the rights, power and franchise that man arrogates to men alone. She plans no sublime campaigns--nor leads armies to battle or fleets to victory. The honors of the political arena are not for her to wear or wield, but she may well glory in the hero who is both able to wear and wield them. Her voice is not for brawling. Its tender tones are for soothings and caressings. The political rostrum is too boisterous and rude for her refined nature. Home is her place of worship, except when, like the star of day, she deigns to issue forth to the world to exhibit her beauty and graces, and scatter her smiles upon all who are worthy to receive so rich a boon, and then she goes back to her home, like as the sun sinks in the west, and the memory of her presence is like the soft twilight that lingers long behind a bright departed day. I therefore vote "aye."
The vote was then announced as above recorded.
On motion of Mr. THOMPSON, the resolutlon was recommitted to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Mr. HUBBARD, from the Committee on Corporations, returned the bill [S. 1] to repeal the Drainage law and supplementary act.
Mr. BROWN moved to lay this bill on the table and make it with all bills on this subject, the special order for Tuesday next at two o'clock.
Mr. DITTEMORE thought the passage of this motion due to the Senator from Kosciusko (Mr. Chapman) who is absent, and who has a bill on the files proposing to amend these acts.
Mr. STEELE also favored the motion.
Mr. HUBBARD thought it would cause delay. The bill is simply a repealing act, and as it is the intention of all to pass some kind of drainage laws this bill might as well be passed now. But such has been the feeling raised by the actions of the Kankakee Drainage Company that the people in that section are impatient of delay. There was urgent necessity for immediate action on the bill.
Mr, DWIGGINS said the Kankakee Draining Company had assessed lands along the river to the amount of four millions eight hundred odd thousand dollars. They have also filed the bond required by page: 155[View Page 155]the supplemental act. That authorized them to put there bonds on the market and sell them. As soon as those bonds, or any portion of them, are sold, these assessments are a lien on the entire lands assessed for the payment of these bonds, which operates as a mortgage on the lands. In order that the people owning these lands may be relieved from this enormous mortgage, which will run for fifteen years, for none of the bonds are for a less period than that, they have appealed to the courts. They can defeat the present assessments, as they believe. But he desired to say to the Senate that these lands constituted the sole property of many of these people. They have to pay their lawyers' fees and the costs of court, because not a dollar of costs can be made out of this company and it will cost the owners of these lands half of their farms to pay their attorneys' fees and the expenses of this one appeal, What they fear is this, that the company may call its assessors together at any time and make a reassessment upon these lands. Then what? The only remedy is to again go into court and by the time they get through the court the second time their homes will be gone, swallowed up in expenses of litigatfon. This is the reason, he said, why the friends of this measure are to-day insisting on the repeal of the act. It may be said that the Kankakee Company has vested rights. That must be settled in the courts. All we ask of the Legislature is to relieve ourconstituents as far as they can from the imposition that has been practiced by the company--for imposition it is.
Mr. BROWN should oppose the repeal of the present drainage laws until assured some fair bill upon the subject would be passed.
The motion that this bill and similar bills be made the special order for Tuesday next at two o'clock, p. m., was then agreed to.
On motion of Mr. BROWN, Mr. Chapman's bill [S. 88] to authorize the structure of levees, dykes, drains and ditches, took the same course.
Mr. BEARDSLEY, from the Committee on Benevolent Institutions, returned the bill [S. 48] to amend sections 1 and 8 of the Soldiers' Home act of March 11, 1867, and section 2 of the act of May 14, 1869, supplemental thereto, with an amendment that any county on whose application orphans were received be liable for their maintenance, recommending its passage.
The report was concurred in.
Mr. THOMPSON presented a proposition for the sale of private grounds for the extension of Capital square, which was referred to the Committee on Public Buildings.
Mr. HOWARD, from the Committee on Rights and Privileges of the inhabitants of the State, returned the bill [S. 79] for an amendment to the first section of the mill race way act of March 1, 1853, to allow any person owning a flouring mill, or other machinery run by water, to construct a race way through the property of another person, with a recommendation that it lie on the table.
The report was concurred in.
He also returned from the same Committee the bill [S. 80] to amend the fish law, with amendments and a favorable report thereon.
Mr. BEARDSLEY explained that the bill contemplated the exemption of the St. Joseph river from the provisions of the fish law.
Mr. DITTEMORE moved to recommit the bill with instructions to exempt White river also from the provisions of the bill.
Mr. BROWN asked if Salt river was included in the motion. As the Senator (Mr. Dittemore) had occasion to navigate that stream occasionally, it might be well for him to include it. [Laughter.]
On motion by Mr. BEARDSLEY this motion to recommit was laid on the table, by yeas, 24; nays, 17.
Mr. COLLETT moved to recommit the bill with instructions to exempt the Wabash river.
On motion by Mr. TAYLOR this motion to recommit was also laid on the table, by yeas, 23; nays, 18.
Mr. WILLIAMS moved to recommit the bill with instructions to report a bill to repeal the fish law.
Pending which the Senate took a recess till two o'clock P. M.
The PRESIDENT took the chair at 2 o'clock and stated the consideration of the order of business pending at the time of taking the recess for dinner.
Mr. DITTEMORE saying it being evident that a quorum was not present, demanded a call of the Senate, but withheld the demand for a report from a committee.
Mr. COLLETT, by consent, from the Committee on Agriculture, returned the bill [S. 39] to amend the drainage and wet page: 156[View Page 156]land laws, with amendments, and when so amended recommending its passage.
Mr. O'BRIEN moved that the report be concurred in and the bill lie on the table, and 150 copies be printed for the use of the Senate.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr. WADGE moved for a suspension of the order of business, that a communication from the Governor may be read.
The motion was agreed to.
Accordingly a communication from the Governor, in response to a resolution of the Senate concerning the feeder dam across the Calumet river, at Blue Island, in the State of Illinois, was read, embracing letters from the Governor of Illinois, with various other reports and correspondence for the removal of said dam at Blue island. The Governor says that in view of the fact that the purpose for which the dam was erected having ceased to exist in consequence of the feeding of the Illinois and Michigan Canal from Lake Michigan through the Chicago river instead of from the Calumet, he felt it to be his duty to use the best efforts to induce the Illinois authorities to remove the structure. On the 24th of February, 1872, he appointed Hon. A. L. Osborne and Hon. W. H. Calkins, Commissioners, on behalf of Indiana, to proceed to Springfield and confer with the Governor and General Assembly in relation to the removal of the dam. Mr. Calkins succeeded in procuring a favorable action in the matter of the Governor and General Assembly of Illinois, which was printed at the time Mr. C. made his report to the Governor.
Since the receipt of a letter from Governor Palmer, reciting this action by his General Assembly, Governor Baker has had no further official information on the subject, but is otherwise informed that the same has been lowered but not removed, and that an injunction still exists which prevents the trustees from removing the dam. It ought to be removed, as it still causes the overflow of thousands of acres of land, to the great injury of the property and health of many of the good people of Lake and Porter counties.
The Governor subsequently learned that a court in Cook county had issued the injunction restraining the Trustees of the Illinois and Michigan canal from removing the dam. Upon this, he again had a correspondence with Governor Palmer, which is transmitted to the Senate with the message. Governor Baker recommends that the Attorney General, or some other competent agent, be designated by the General Assembly and directed to proceed to Chicago and learn the grounds upon which the injunction is based, so that the General Assembly of the State may have the information on which to base an appeal to the General Assembly of the State of Illinois, when it meets in January, for full and speedy relief by the removal of the dam. It cannot be doubted that such relief will be afforded when such an appeal is made.
Accompanying this is a copy of the account of Messrs. Calkins and Osborne for their services in the premises, amounting to $500, which the Governor recommended should be paid.
On the call of Mr. DITTEMORE, the exhibits accompanying the message were read.
On motion by Mr. WADGE, the message and accompanying communications were referred to a select committee of three, to be composed of Senators from the northwestern portion of the State, and the following Senators were subsequently appointed as the committee, viz: Messrs. Wadge, Winterbotham and Hubbard,
The PRESIDENT pro tem, (Mr. Rhodes) now recurred to the order of business pending at the time of the recess for dinner, being a motion by Mr. Williams to recommit the bill [S. 80] to the Committee on Rights and Privileges, with instructions for the committee to report a bill repealing the fish law.
Mr. CAVE did not object to the motion, but thought he had a bill on the files of the Senate for the repeal of the fish law that was likely to meet the wishes of Senators favoring a repeal of this law.
Mr. DWIGGINS hoped to see the law amended so as to allow the taking of fish in every way except by netting and seining.
Mr. GREGG said the greatest evil in his part of the State is with those who use nets that are set across the mouth of streams. By turning the net one way when fish go up the stream, the net cataches wagon loads of them, and when the fish return to the large stream the nets are set the other way. He favored a fish law that would afford a remedy in that particular.
Mr. DITTEMORE opposed the present law because it smacks largely of class legislation, as it gives to gentlemen of leisure the privilege of doing most all the fishing that is done. His constituents insist that the law shall be repealed, and he should so vote in obedience to their wishes
Mr. THOMPSON thought that no law on the statute book was more popular with page: 157[View Page 157]his constituency than this fish law, as the fish market had been vastly improved by it in this vicinity.
Mr. DWIGGINS, as a substitute for the motion of Mr. Williams, moved to recommit with instructions to report a bill to permit fishing in every manner except by seining.
Mr. WILLIAMS accepted the substitute in lieu of his motion.
Mr. GREGG again insisted that the use of a set net should be prohibited, and he moved to amend the amendments by adding a prohibition against the use of set nets and traps.
Mr. HUBBARD moved that the report and pending amendments lie on the table.
Mr. BROWN demanded a division of the question.
The amendment (Mr. Gregg's) was laid on the table by yeas, 23 nays 19.
The question recurring on laying on the table, the substitute (Mr. Dwiggin's) being a motion to recommit the bill to the Committee on Rights and Privileges with instructions to report a bill permitting fishing in every manner except by seining. the Senate laid that on the table also by yeas 23, nays 20.
The question then recurring on the motion to lay the report of the Committee on the table, it was agreed to by yeas 35, nays 6.
Mr. ROSEBRUGH moved to reconsider the vote just taken and to lay this motion on the table.
The latter motion was agreed to.
The order for calling for further reports from committees was taken up.
Mr.TAYLOR, from the select committee thereon, returned the bill [S. 45] for a permanent fence around the Tippecanoe Battle Ground, with a report narrating a history of the ground since the battle was fought, reciting a clause of the constitutfon requiring the General Assembly to provide for its permanent inclosure, and recommending the appropriation of $25,000 for that purpose, as follows:
Mr. PRESIDENT : The committee to whom referred that portion of the message of his Excellency Governor Baker, in relation to the enclosure of the Tippecanoe Battle Ground, and also Senate Bill No. 45, which provides for the erection of a permanent fence around said ground, in accordance with the recommendations of the Governor, beg leave to submit the following report: Your committee find that theground on which the battle of Tippecanoe was fought was originally purchased by General John Tipton for the purpose and design of its permanent preservation and protection. In the year 1831 a member of the then survivors of the battie of Tippecanoe, with many other distinguished citizens of Indiana and Kentucky, assembled on the battle field, and having collected the scattered remains of those who fell in that conflict, deposited them, with appropriate funeral rites, in a common grave, around which a rude fence was made including only the few feet of ground where the remains were deposited. This enclosure has long since disappeared and nothing now remains to mark the spot where lie the bones of the heroic dead who perished in that memorable battle. In 1833 the General Assembly, by joint resolution, directed the Governor to ascertain from General Tipton the terms upon which a title could be obtained for the State in the ground on which the battle was fought; and thereafter such action was had by tbe General Assembly, on behalf of the State and General Tipton, that on the 7th day of November, 1836, the battle ground was conveyed to the State in fee simple.
In the correspondence between Gov. Noble and Gen. Tipton respecting the conveyance it was well understoood, and so expressed in the joint resolution on the subject, that the purpose for which the title was vested in the State was the same as that originally entertained by General Tipton, viz: Its preservation and protection. Since the title was thus acquired by the State the ground has been twice enclosed by temporary fencing, not a vestage of which now remains. The framers of our present Constitution were so impressed with the obligation resting upon the State to protect for all time from rude disturbance this sacred ground, that they by constitutional enactment recognized the duty in that regard Section ten, article fifteen, of the Constitution reads as follows: "It shall be the duty of the General Assembly to provide for the permanent enclosure and preservation of the Tippecanoe Battle Ground." This Constitutional requirement has never been complied with in spirit or letter only to the extent as before stated, in the erection of temporary fences. The Board of Commissioners of Tippecanoe county have recently caused to be made a survey of that portion of the grounds which needed to be enclosed. Mr. E. M. Talbott, under whose supervision this survey was made, was also charged with the additional duty of making an estimate of the probable cost of a suitable iron fence. The report made by Mr. E. M. Talbott to the Board of page: 158[View Page 158]Commissioners containing a plat of the survey and an estimate of cost is herewith submitted and made a part of this report. From an examination of the plat and report it will be seen that the part to be enclosed will require 3,300 feet of fence at an estimated cost of $24,100. Your committee would, therefore, recommend that the blank in section one be filled with the sum of $25,000. And when so amended would recommend the passage of the bill.
HENRY TAYLOR,Com.
W. P. RHODES, Com.
J. F. HARNEY,Com.
The report was concurred in.
On motion of Mr. GREGG the regular order of business was suspended and the resolution introduced by him yesterday in relation to the death of the Hon. Horace Greeley was taken up.
Mr. GREGG said he believed the resolution expressed the unanimous sentiment of the Senate on this subject. No words are adequate to express our deep sorrow and regret at hearing of the death of one of the greatest educators of our people. No other man's death would create such a sense of profound sorrow and regret through our country and the civilized world at this time as does that of Horace Greeley--a man distinguished in everything that is noble and good, one who leaves behind him a name that will be honored for all time to come. He was in the broadest sense of the word an American citizen, a self-made man, superlatively a successful journalist, a learned statesman and philosopher, a philanthropist, a friend and an advocate of the down-trodden and oppressed, without distinction of race or color.
The PRESIDENT of the Senate [Mr. Rhodes in the chair] said that for more than a quarter of a century the name of Horace Greeley has been prominent before the American people, and in all the events that have transpired in that time, the most interesting portion of our country's history, he has borne an honorable and conspicuous part. Through the columns of his great journal, circulating in all parts of the country, numbering its readers by tens of thousands, he has, perhaps, done more to mold and shape public sentiment in the United States than any man of his time. Possessed as he was of a noble and generous nature, always actuated by a broad and genuine philanthrophy, he has throughout all his public career, both by tongue and pen, plead eloquently the cause of the poor, the oppressed and the down-trodden. From the commencement of the agitation of the slavery question in this country, there has been no truer, no bolder and no abler friend of the slave than has been Horace Greeley. With him the cause of human freedom was paramount and above mere party considerations. He was a stranger to the ignorant and unholy prejudice of caste, which has so long degraded a race in our midst; and if to-day that wicked prejudice is rapidly disappearing from among our people, and if to-day the lash has fallen from the hands of the slave driver forever; if to-day no fetters are on the limbs of bond men in all this land; if to-day our flag floats over no slave in our broad domain, we ought to remember that Horace Greeley has contributed his full share to the accomplishment of this grand triumph. And when the history of this anti-slavery struggle is written the name of Greeley will stand side by side with the names of those that adorn the brightest pages of American history.
Mr. HUBBARD moved to amend the resolution by striking out all after the word "resolved" and inserting the following: "That as a mark of respect to him, these resolutions be spread upon the journals of the Senate." He said that he would allow no man to go before him in cherishing recollections of the memory and services of Horace Greeley, but we are here engaged in a work for the people of the State, and he did not think that our respect for the illustrious dead requires that we shall waste any more time than is necessary. Senators are aware that there is much work for us to do, and we ought not, when there is no occasion for it, to waste a day at this time of the session.
Mr. BROWN. I trust that the Senate will not be insensible to the importance of the occasion. The death of a just man always strikes the community, and indeed the death of Mr. Greeley has struck it, I think, as forcibly as the death of any man during the last half century. And l think the great works of the deceased have been of sufficient importance and benefit to the people that this mark of respect proposed by the resolution offered by the Senator from Dearborn, is but a poor pittance and a poor reward for the great good he has done the people of the country. I hope that the Senate will change the resolution that has just been offered by the Senator from St. Joseph [Mr. Hubbard] so that it will not read that it proposes to strike out the resolution offered by the Senator from Dearborn, [Mr. Gregg] but that it will be a resolution to accompany that of the Senator from Dearborn, so page: 159[View Page 159]that the Senate will adjourn on to-morrow, the day upon which his body is to be given to the earth, and that the record of this occasion may be made up along with the other records of this body.
I have no eulogy to pronounce upon him. His fame, his name his reputation need none. They speak for themselves. He sprang from the lowly and humble waIks of life. By energy, by industry, by perseverance, by honesty and diligence he carved out for himself a name and fame that any American citizen may well feel proud of. When a man makes for himself a name of being a universal friend and benefactor of the human race, he makes for himself a fame and a name that any man might well be proud of. And after the heat of party zeal and party victory has passed away, and when reason and soberness shall perform their sacred office, all the people in this country who have intelligence to reason and hearts to do right will see that Horace Greeley had identified himself with those occasions that were for the best interests of the country and the happiness of the people. He is gone! But "it is not all of life to live, nor all of death to die." I trust that that body of his which lies beyond the grave is as bright and glorious as that which awaits the coming of any man who has done honor to himself, credit to his people and justice to his Maker.
Mr.DITTEMORE moved to make the resolution offered by the Senator from St. Joseph (Mr. Hubbard) a part of the resolution offered by the Senator from Dearborn (Mr. Gregg).
Mr. HUBBARD, as it seemed to be the sense of the Senate, consented to this.
The motion was agreed to, and the resolution as amended was adopted.
On motion of Mr. THOMPSON, the order of business was suspended, and his bill [S. 65], ceding to the United States jurisdiction over certain property in Indianapolis, upon which to erect public buildings, was read the third time, and passed the Senate, by yeas 40, nays 0.
Mr. FRIEDLEY of Lawrence [Mr. Rhodes in the chair), by unanimous consent, introduced a bill [S. 112], "A bill to amend sections 9, 16, 17, 18, 19, 28, 29, 30, 32, 58, 49 and 52, and repealing sections 20, 24, 25, 27, 35, 36, 37, 38 and 53 of an act entitled 'An act regulating the fees, salaries and duties of certain officers therein named and prescribing penalties for the violation of its provisions, repealing all laws in conflict therewith, and declaring an emergency.'"
On motion of Mr. WILLIAMS, the constitutional restriction was dispensed with, by yeas 39, neas 0, and the bill was read by title only (for the first reading).
[It allows jurors in the Supreme Court $2 50 per day; to jurors before justices of the peace, each $1 per day; and to grand or petit jurors in all other courts, each $2 per day, and to all jurors mileage at the rate of five cents per mile. It also fixes the fees of clerks of the courts and county auditors. It limits the pay of the county auditor to $1,800 per annum, except that he shall be allowed $35 for pay of deputies for each one hundred male inhabitants of his county over the age of twenty-one years, and fees and commissions arising out of the management of the school fund. The compensation of the county treasurer shall be limited to $1,500 per annum, except that he shall be allowed $25 for each one hundred male inhabitants of the county over twenty-one years of age, and also the fees and commissions now allowed by law for the collection of delinquent taxes. County commissioners are allowed five dollars per day for each day's attendance as a member of the county board or the board of equalization.]
Subsequently on the motion of Mr. FRIEDLEY, of Lawrence, the constitutional rule was dispensed with by yeas 39, nays 0, and the bill again read by title (for the second reading) and referred to the Committee on Fees and Salaries.
On motion of Mr. STEELE, the bill [S. 85,] to provide for the payment of the internal improvement bonds, which have not been surrendered under the Butler law, was taken up and referred to the Committee on Finance.
Mr. STEELE, by consent, introduced a bill [S. 113] for an act to provide for calling a Convention to revise, alter or amended, the Constitution of the State of Indiana, to meet at the State House on the third Tuesday of November, 1873, to consist of one hundred members, who shall be chosen from the districts now entitled to elect members of the House of Representatives and General Assembly.
It was read the first time and passed to the second reading.
Mr. NEFF, by consent, introduced a bill page: 160[View Page 160][S. 114] for an act to suppress tippling houses and drunkenness, to regulate the selling or giving away of vinous, malt and intoxicating liquors, etc., and the collection of damages sustained from the use of liquors, and declaring an emergency.
On his motion the constitutional rule was dispensed with by yeas 37, nays 2, and the bill was read by title only (for the second reading.) He made an ineffectual motion to lay it on the table and print 200 copies.
It was referred to the Committee on Printing.
Mr. BROWN, by consent, introduced a bill [S. 115] to prevent extortionate charges for and unjust discriminations in the transportation of freights by railroads arid other common carriers,
It was read the first time and passed to the second reading.
Mr. DWIGGINS, by leave, introduced a bill [S. 116] to amend sections 95, 96 and 97 of the act of June 17,1852, providing for the settlement of decedents' estates, and legalizing certain sales of real estate heretofore made by foreign administrators.
It was read the first time and passed to the second reading.
Mr. ORR introduced a bill [S. 117] regulating the granting of divorces, nullification of marriages and decrees of courts in relation thereto, and repealing all conflicting laws. [It provides that the applicant must have been a bona fide resident of the State for three years, and fixes the following as the causes for which divorces may be granted: Adultery, willful abandonment for two years, cruel and barbarous treatment of either party by the other, habitual drunkenness of either party, or the failure of the husband to make reasonable provision for his family.]
It was read the first time and passed to the second reading.
On motion of Mr. BEESON, the bill [H. R. 81] amending the re-location of county seat law, was read by title and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
On motion of Mr. Dangherty, the bill [S. 2] to regulate banks of deposit and discount in the State of Indiana, was taken up. The constitutional restriction was dispensed with by yeas 38, nays 0, and the bill was read by title only for the second reading, and was ordered engrossed for its third reading.
The PRESIDENT announced the committee to whom was referred that portion of the Governor's message relating to the death of Colonel Norman Eddy, late Secretary of State, viz: Messrs. Scott, Glessner, Daggy, Daugherty, and Friedley of Scott.
He also announced a committee of one from each Congressional district, to which was referred the subject of erecting a soldiers' monument in the Governor's Circle, to-wit: Messrs. Stecle, Gooding, Hall, Gregg, Scott, Oliver, Dittemore, Taylor, O'Brien, Chapman and Wadge.
He also announced the committee to whom was referred the subject of the feeder dam on the Calumet River at Blue Island, to-wit: Messrs. Wadge, Winterbotham and Hubbard.

It was so ordered.
And then the Senate adjourned, under the resolution adopted this afternoon, till Thursday morning at ten o'clock.
