Happy Monday folks! I'm finally feeling like summer is in full swing and I'm loving it. For some reason, however, time just seems to go so much faster these days! I'd like time to slow down just a littttle bit so that I can enjoy these beautiful carefree days. And now my Foodie Pen Pal Reveal!!
This month, I participated in my first Foodie Pen Pal exchange hosted by Lindsay at The Lean Green Bean. What a fun experience! I got to try some tasty favorites of a fellow foodie named Kristen P. from Minneapolis, MN. I've never been to the midwest, so it's neat to have a taste of what foodie finds are out there!! Drumroll please….
Such fun goodies! From left to right:
- Ames Farm Purple Loosestrife Single Source Honey: I've never had single-source honey before, and I was anticipating it to just be like regular honey. The particular variety that Kristen sent me had a unique, spice-like finish to it, which made it especially perfect in my soothing caramel bedtime tea! Also, as per her suggestion, had it on a slice of toast with some ghee. Tea and toast – a perfect, light, afternoon snack!
- Uncooked Wheat Berries: I LOVE wheat berry!! I've only had it pre-cooked & frozen. She gave me some recipes to use wheatberries in – including wheat berry tabouli salad, lemony wheat berries with roasted brussel sprouts, and zesty wheat berry black bean chili. I haven't gotten a chance to use them yet, but now that I am off of work for a week I will certainly be using them!
- Trachealth drink mix: Kristen included two different flavors – coconut water + chia and blackberry hibiscus green tea + chia. I am a HUGE fan of chia seeds and coconut water, and green tea! I loved the coconut water flavor, and have yet to try the green tea. Perhaps that'll be a nice accompaniment to tonight's ballet class!
- Peach White Balsamic Vinegar: This may possibly be my favorite part of my foodie pen pal package, closely tied with the next item I'll describe. This vinegar has a thicker consistency than normal vinegar, and it's sweeter from the peach yet still tangy. I used it in iced tea, on salad, on grilled chicken, roasted brussel sprouts, and even in my zucchini pasta. The possibilities are endless with craft vinegars! I want more!!
- B.T. McElrath Chocolate – The Salty Dog: The word chocolate alone should be reason enough to explain why this item is tied with the last one for my favorite. The Salty Dog is dark chocolate with toffee pieces in it, and sea salt on the bottom side of the bar only. B.T. McElrath is unique in the way it presents this particular flavor. On the back, it give you two 'options' to enjoy the sweet and salty flavors. You can eat it salty-side-down to feel the immediate bite of the salt, followed by the smoothness of the chocolate, or eat it salty-side-up and allow the salty notes to subtly ease their way into your eating experience. Pardon me while I get a paper towel – I believe I may have drooled on my keyboard a bit. :p
- Linden Hills "Spice It Up": a zesty blend of herbs and spices, it includes flavors such as paprika, lemon peel, garlic, and onion. I'm not a fan of flavors that are overpowered by citrus, but the lemon peel is very light, yet still noticeable enough for me to enjoy it. I used this as a rub with some olive oil on grilled chicken, and also used it with the peach white balsamic vinaigrette on grilled chicken. I've still got some left – perhaps I will use it on my sirloin steak this evening!
A big thank you to Kristen P. for sending such wonderful treats in my foodie pen pal package!! And a BIG thank you to Lindsay for hosting foodie pen pals every month! 🙂

Brief 02 Evaluation
Brief two was a great brief for me. I was a little anxious at the start, because other than the self branding brief for PPP last year, I had limited experience of designing a logo for a client/brand before. It was a massive learning curve for me, especially in gaining experience of liaising with a client and defining specific brand requirements. I knew immediately after selecting my Kickstarter project that I needed to design something bespoke that honestly reflected the product. Fortunately, this allowed me to be true to my artistic background, experimenting with media such as paint and ink and collaging to get my ideas flowing.
My research for this brief was mainly secondary; this can be put down to time constraints and time management. The internet is a very useful resource as it is constantly updated and current, and I saw it as an effective research tool for this project. I used inspiration websites such as Pinterest, ItsNiceThat and BauBauHaus to gather inspiration. I tried to remain very specific in my visual research, in terms of the context of the brand and all that could be associated with it. I looked in depth at existing brands that have the same name as the farm I was designing for. I did this to see exactly how other designers tackled the theme of black sheep. I noticed that a lot of farm logos shared common design themes. For example, I noticed a lot using rounded sans serif, quite condensed typefaces. They also looked processed, edited to seem grungy/weathered or just 'organic'.
I began by getting my primary ideas down onto paper, sketching designs out using marker pens, black drawing ink, acrylic paints, thick card and collaging techniques. This was really fun and refreshing way to approach a brief for me. I also found some marbelled paper at home and incorporated that into my initial design development. I continually sought feedback from my course mates. People prompted me to keep the designs illustrative rather than pure vectors. This was very useful.
I took the opportunity to contact the manager of the Kickstarter project personally via email. I was nervous about this, but hours after sending the first message I received a reply. I simply asked the 'client' if he had a vision for how he would like the logo to look. He was very helpful and gave me a number of pointers to work on which ultimately shaped the final aesthetic of the designs. I then designed several collateral products based on his wishes. Opening up this dialogue with the client was very good for me in terms of building up my experience.
Overall I am very pleased with the amount of effort and time I dedicated to exploring analogue media/techniques. I definitely stuck to my creative roots during this brief, not feeling the need to conform to contemporary trends. I feel my final design answer the brief and the clients desires successfully.

MINNEAPOLIS — The son of a Minnesota woman suspected of fatally shooting her husband then killing a Florida woman and stealing her identity says she was a "good lady" but "had her own demons" including a gambling addiction.
Thirty-year-old Braden Riess discussed his mother, 56-year-old Lois Riess, in an interview set to air Thursday on the syndicated news program "Inside Edition."
Authorities say Lois Riess killed her husband, David Riess, at their Blooming Prairie home before heading to Florida and killing 59-year-old Pamela Hutchinson, of Bradenton, in Fort Myers Beach, so she could assume her identity. She has a history of stealing money and gambling. Authorities arrested her in Texas last month. She'll stand trial in Florida first.
Braden Riess told "Inside Edition" he still can't wrap his head around the allegations.

Kerry Blanc
had her two years in a row, she is a really caring and lovely teacher who wants all of her students to succeed. she is knowledgeable and she loves Friends! (especially the scene where Joey tries to speak french, she has it on her computer and shows it to her classes every year!)
Such a wonderful teacher! Kind, caring and willing to help (as long as you make an effort!). Extremely knowledgeable and is good at transferring this knowledge to students.
Mrs Blanc is the best French teacher ever! I've had so many over the years and she tops the list. I've only had her for less than a semester but I've learnt so much and we're so far ahead of the other classes! She even managed to get the majority of her students to come in the top 20 for the French Poetry Competition. Mrs Blanc is just awesome.
An extremely knowledgable teacher! Have been receiving great marks
Before i was in her class, everyone told me she would be the worst meanest teacher. I had her two years in a row and they were my best years of french. She is such a kind and compassionate person who is willing to give you her time if you put in the effort or at least try. She is extremely knowledgable and knows pretty much everything about french!!
She is a really good french teacher, i have received the best marks i ever have in her class.
she is a very affective french teacher, the best i have ever had
Mrs. Blanc is always a great teacher - her through approach to French teaching is really effective. She is very experienced, really knows her stuff and is passionate and enthusiastic about it.
Mrs. Blanc is an awesome teacher with really useful hints into learning french effectively. Sometimes harsh but still pretty funny (even if her jokes are in french and we dont get them)

101 Pop Culture Signs O' The Apocalypse #Cha-ching!/Diablo Cody's SWEET VALLEY HIGH
from USA TODAYs POP CANDY blog:
– Diablo Cody is in talks to adapt the Sweet Valley High books for the big screen.
The books centred on the lives of identical twins Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield, who live in the fictional town of Sweet Valley, California, and attend the local high school. More than 150 titles were published featuring Jessica, the more flighty of the sisters, and Elizabeth, the practical one, who usually had to save the day when one of her sibling's fanciful schemes went awry.
Cody is said to have grown up reading the books, which were conceived by Francine Pascal in 1983 and written by an army of ghostwriters over the next two decades. While wildly popular, the books have been criticised for their unrealistic treatment of teenage girls' lives. Not only were both twins faultlessly beautiful, but Jessica suffered the deaths of five boyfriends over the course of the series, while Elizabeth fell in love with a Parisian prince and an English viscount.
First thought: "Wow, those books sound like some old chick's vicarious I-wish-I-was-a-horny-teen-aged wet-dreamed up, sh*t."
JUNO, THE UNITED STATES OF TARA, JENNIFER'S BODY and SWEET VALLEY HIGH? What? No big screen treatment of JEM (She's truly outrageous?)
This reeks of cash grab. However, I can't hate on el Diablo for getting paid to make that hot garbage into a movie. We all have our childhood pop-culture loves and if some dumb Hollywood fool was going to throw me a boatload of cash to make one of mine a movie, you got damn right I'm making GENE, GENE THE DANCING MACHINE: THE MOVIE!
I remember the SWEET VALLEY HIGH TV show from the early 90s. Actually, all I really remember is that the twins (left) were hot and now, I realize that was my first Dirty Old Judge Joe Brown (below)
moment. Anyway, one of the twins was sluttier (is that a word?) than the other, is there any other way to be?
Much, much sluttier…
Oh, look, stripper pols and role-playing, too?
And currently, in what has to be David Duke's worst nightmare, The bad twin is currently getting busy with the creator of that other early 90s hit show, IN LIVING COLOR
Cast her as the mom of somebody in the movie, TODAY. And Diablo Cody is going to be involved in a big screen version of this?
I've just convinced myself that this might wind up being the greatest movie of all time.

Three Methods for Skin Cleansing
How to Detox Your Skin
Cat Litter
Believe it or not, cat litter can actually be used to cleanse your skin. Because clumping cat litter is clay based, you can add water to it to make a paste like substance that you can use as a mask or cleanser cream for your skin. Simply mix a handful of cat litter with enough water to give the mixture a paste like consistency, and smear it on the area that you want to cleanse. Let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes before rinsing it clean. A good idea would be to put this mask on before you take a shower, as the clay can help open and clear your pores, but a shower will allow you to get a long lasting, deep cleanse of your skin.
Lemon and Vitamin E
Lemon juice is highly acidic, which is common knowledge. It has a number of uses as a home remedy, and can be used to cure sore throats and lighten your hair. But did you know that the acidic pH value of lemon juice can create a neutralizing reaction with alkaline oils that cause pimples on your skin? These reactions are simple chemical reactions that leave salt and water behind. If you mix lemon juice with Vitamin E cream, and apply it to your skin for overnight exposure, you can see results in less than twelve hours. However, repeated treatments will be needed to fully cleanse a section of skin, but this is a great overnight solution if you have a major event the next day.
Honey Oatmeal
Oatmeal mixed with honey can be a great exfoliating agent, and can help cleanse your skin of blackheads and pimples. Mix water, oatmeal, honey, and baking soda together to form a paste, similar to the cat litter method above, and then apply the mask to your face. Let it sit for roughly 15 minutes, or until it begins to harden, and then rinse it off of your face. Make sure that you remove it from your face before it hardens, as sticky oatmeal can be a pain to get off of your skin.
If you have any home remedies for pimples, or even just general skin care tips, leave them below in the comments section!
Brand Name Cleansers
Great Tips. Aspirin does work. Cat litter is a new thing for me. Good to know. Thanks for posting it.
I used to use clay in the bathtub to detox my autistic boys, but never thought of it as being useful for skin cleansing! Great info. thanks for sharing!
All good tips - another very inexpensice cure for acne is aspirin also known as "Salicylic acid" it can be crushed in a small amount of water and dabbed on the pimple then washed off in the morning, works very well. Voted Up and useful! Thanks for sharing.

Most people think of Songwriting as a flat straight forward activity. Keep it 3 min., stay in the accepted framework, be sure to rhyme in the right places, don't use clichés.., I look at the norm as an opportunity and a challenge. How do you write a great song but push the envelope? My favorite thing is when I take a cliché and stand it on its ear "The early bird catches the worm" can become "He said somethin' 'bout an early bird when he got me out of bed" Why waste a great line like that because someone said don't use a cliché. I will help you explore, be creative and still write a professional style song. Let's work hard, create and have fun!

There's velvet chokers that combine 90s influences with travel inspirations as well as necklaces that layer chains, gemstones and pendants. And obviously, this jewellery wouldn't be Rock N Rose without some heavy embellishment and embroidery.

Ireland, the ruby isle
This penultimate guest post about Ireland's economic meltdown features Stephen Tucker, from Roscommon, who blogs about style, etiquette and other things at Myopic Psychotic. Here he looks back at the history of the Celtic Tiger.
"Ireland, fondly referred to as the Emerald Isle, may just as well be renamed the Ruby Isle, the nation very much in the red; Ireland is broke. The highly publicised demise of Ireland's once booming economy was documented world wide during the last three weeks. The facts speak for themselves: the Celtic Tiger of old was a mystical creature; there was no success story, only a bubble economy that the Irish public enthusiastically inflated. The Irish economy turned a corner in September 2008 when the government pushed through a bank guarantee to back main Irish banking institutions. The depth and scope of the bank guarantee was widely criticised and partly blamed for the mess the economy finds itself in today. Since then, numerous bad decisions and draconian, proposed cutbacks failed to incite public reaction until Saturday 27th November, when an estimated 50,000 people took to the streets to demonstrate against the "austerity plan"; an attempt to save €15 billion through cutbacks and savings.
Culturally, we Irish are famous for our laid back nature; the "ah sure, it's grand" approach to life. We are not complainers, preferring to suffer in silence, occasionally venting through a whispered aside. A turnout of 50,000 at a demonstration is considerable, and offers an acute gauge of the feelings among the public. During November 2010, it became clear the IMF would intervene in the financial affairs of Ireland. The nation braced itself for impending doom. National airwaves dedicated massive amounts of airtime to speculate on cutbacks. The IMF could potentially push for trimming back the bloated public sector, reducing social welfare, increase taxes and enforce a lower minimum wage. Analysts debated at length whether Ireland might be bullied into abolishing its 12.5% tax rate, an action that could drive American multi-nationals to the shores of alternative low tax jurisdictions. The cost-cutting measures of the IMF were over-speculated, instilling fear and insecurity into a public already enduring the pain of a recession.
In 2004 the Economist Magazine named Ireland as the best place in the world to live. This was the age when America could not get enough of our darling export Waterford Crystal. Riverdance travelled the globe, taking nations by storm. We were damn proud to be Irish. The country, once on the periphery of Europe, experienced sizable influx of foreign nationals, giving rise to Dublin as one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. Oh we were proud. And oh how we gloated. Initially, the arrival of the IMF left the national psyche dumbstruck, but soon a curious sense of embarrassment emerged. People felt they had been duped into believing the Celtic Tiger to be real. The age of easy borrowing – 100% mortgages, limitless personal finance, borrowing for decadent weddings and deposits for homes paid for by credit cards – placed us in this fine mess. The property crash, probably the greatest contributor to the downturn, left countless occupants sitting in their homes, questioning the inflated sums paid for their bricks and mortar. We ignored the hard lessons learned by the UK with property bubbles, comforting ourselves with soothing words of economists – employed by banking institutions – who quoted "unique factors" that defied the laws of basic economics. In hindsight, how did we not see this coming? In truth, we are embarrassed for believing the success that never was.
Saturday's demonstration clearly marks breaking point for many thousands throughout Ireland seething with anger at a financial situation they feel no responsibility for. Public sector workers, who have already taken significant pay cuts, are now faced with further cuts and potential job loss. Unemployed individuals are threatened with reductions in social welfare "to encourage them to look for work" when there are fewer jobs. Insufficient services from a health board in crisis are to be cut back. National anger is mostly aimed at banking institutions that performed "reckless lending". Anger is also directed towards the Irish financial regulator that failed to do its job by investigating a banking system rife with corrupt lending practices. There is massive disillusionment with both political figures and the political system itself, which has simply let down the public down. What happened to fortunes made through record tax receipts when things were good? Why is it now we are learning of the dire state of affairs? There is a craving for change in a political system in turmoil. However, the alternatives seem limited.
Whether spin or factual statement by the political opposition, the claim Ireland has lost its sovereignty is probably the saddest aspect of recent events. A relatively young country that for centuries fought for independence and identity has now forfeited management of its own finances. As in previous decades, countless young people will again leave Ireland's shores to secure employment abroad. Our "good times" were meant to seal an end to heart-breaking emigration. It's no surprise public spirit is flagging. On 17th November the Irish Times invited readers via Twitter to submit things they loved about Ireland. Some of my favourites include "six degrees of separation in the world and only two for Ireland," "wakes and funerals turning into a party" and "all the ailments that can be treated by putting the kettle on. The suggestions themselves demonstrate the unique Irish way of coping through humour. We'll work through our insecurity, anger, embarrassment and sadness for the state of our economy. We'll even laugh along the way. I just hope we learn some lessons as we do."

Satisfy That has a TRIBE. Before long following we entered a small basic bounded to the west by A further dry channel, and beyond this we had been prevented from continuing within the route in which I needed to vacation by a creek filled with h2o, obliging us to show northward and eastward of north right up until I at size observed a crossing-location, and equally as we perceived smoke at some distance further than another bank. To this smoke Piper experienced hastened, and After i attained a simple further than the creek I noticed him carrying over a flying dialogue having an old gentleman and several other gins who were retiring in a north-west course to some Wooden about a mile distant. LAKE BENANEE. This wood we also at size achieved, and we found that it encircled an attractive lake complete sixteen miles in circumference and swarming with natives both to the beach and in canoes. The alarm of our arrival was then resounding Among the many natives whom I noticed in fantastic figures together its western shores. This lake, like all People we experienced Beforehand viewed, was surrounded by a ridge of crimson earth, rather bigger compared to the adjacent plains, and it was evidently fed, throughout large floods, through the creek we experienced crossed. I travelled because of west from your berg of this lake along the basic which extended in that direction a mile and a few-quarters. We then came to a different woody hollow or channel where I could to start with see only a discipline of polygonum, although we shortly present in it a wide deep access of nonetheless h2o. In tracing it into the remaining or through the lake toward the river, we identified it greater a great deal in width and depth, following tracing it a few-quarters of a mile, that a passage in that direction seemed very out with the concern. A lot of the natives who had followed us in a very human body through the lake overtook us in this article. They assured Piper that we ended up close to the junction of this bit of water with the Millewa (Murray) Which in the alternative way, or toward the lake, they may show us a ford. We appropriately turned and we came into a narrow put where the natives had a fish-Internet established throughout. On viewing us preparing to go through the ford, they instructed Piper that, at some extent even now bigger up, we'd cross the place the channel was dry. Thither hence we went, the natives accompanying us in significant numbers, but Each and every carrying a inexperienced bough. Among the them ended up quite a few aged Adult males who took essentially the most Lively aspect and who ended up extremely amazing with the bushy fulness and whiteness in their beards and hair; the latter developing thickly around the again and shoulders gave them an extremely singular look, and accorded perfectly with that patriarchal authority which the outdated Males look to maintain to an astonishing diploma amid these native tribes.
As for the comment down below, it's too particular for me as I'm in Brisbane, but probably an area will see your question and provides you some tips.
Sitting on the Parramatta River, the town offers a shocking harbour finish with Sydney Opera Residence and Harbour Bridge, two of the principle tourist points of interest in the area. The harbour alone presents ferries that operate like buses. It's a great way to investigate the put.
QUAWYS. Past Mount Torrens we entered the area which lies to your westward with the Macquarie range, and found numerous new plants, especially a very pretty Xerotes, with sweetly perfumed flowers, being an excellent offer like X. leucocephala, but Along with the leaves filamentous at the sides, as well as male spikes interrupted.* We encamped over a deep pond in a bend of the Lachlan named Gonniguldury. I learnt from your aged native tutorial who accompanied us from Regent's lake that they simply call those ponds of a river which never ever dry up quawy, a word which proved for being of use to us in descending the Lachlan.
Slightly in advance a Substantially deeper department afforded a great location for our camp, as I meant to cross it by some suggests within the afternoon and look for for your river. ENTER A A lot better Place. The plains we experienced crossed this day had been protected with excellent grass; and in many places detached teams of trees gave for the country a park-like overall look extremely as opposed to nearly anything about the banking companies of the Darling. Just after crossing the creek by the use of a fallen tree, I discovered the bottom outside of for being of your richest description, with fantastic grass and lofty yarra trees increasing on it. I handed by way of two different strips of large reeds extending north-east and south-west; but I discovered they only enveloped lagoons of sentimental mud and, viewing no look on the river at two miles with the camp, I returned. We located to the hills a little bush, very like European heaths, obtaining the branches lined with compact a few-cornered leaves and tipped with clusters of tiny pink bouquets.* (*Footnote. Baeckea micrantha.)
Hello. I'm setting up a go to Sydney at the conclusion of the calendar year and am hoping a Sydneysider will help me with narrowing down locations to look for rental accommodation. Educational facilities undoubtedly are a priority (my son is 10) nonetheless it looks like You can find an abundance of excellent educational institutions so I don't Believe this tends to dictate wherever we live, but what is the chance of renting a place and afterwards finding the area schools are complete and will't offer you us an area? I feel the northern suburbs are our preference, we've been outdoorsy so want someplace Risk-free with parks click for source and open spaces for picnics, functioning and many others, good nearby features as we might not Use a motor vehicle to start with (should be around trainline for each day commute to Homebush), not bothered about nightlife.
If it is Sydney that you might want to maneuver to, remaining when you've posted about the web page about Sydney, then I do Assume your choices will be additional limited, but hopefully a Sydneysider will be able to allow you to with that.
What I might do while if I ended up you, could well be to uncover some forums for South Africans in Australia helpful hints as well as Indians in Australia, there will be some, and afterwards glimpse in there to determine if you'll find any South African Indian threads. That's all I've acquired. Great luck along with your tour, I hope it goes effectively.

Profoundly impressed withihe truth that the National Grange of the Uni-ted States should definitely proclaim to the world its general objects, we hereby unanimously make this Dec-laration of Purposes of the Patrons of Husbandry: GKNKItAL OBJECTS. 1. United by the strong and faith-lul tie of Agriculture, we mmtually resolve to labor for tbe good ot our Order, our country, and mankind. 2. We heartily indorse the motto: "Inessentials, Unity; in non-essen-tials, liberty; in all things, Charity. SPECIFIC OBJECTS. 3. We shall endeavor to advance our cause by laboring to accomplish the following objects: To develop a better and higher manhood and womanhood among our-selves. To enhance the comforts and attractions of our homes,and strength-eu our attachments to our pursuits. To foster mutual understanding and co-operation. To maintain inviolate our laws, and to emulate each other in labor to hasten the good time coming. To reduce our expenses, both indi-vidual and corporate. To buy less and produce more, in order to make onr farms self-sustaining. To diver-sify our crops, and crop no more than than we can cultivate. To condense the weight of our exports, selling less ih the bushel aud more on hoot aud in the fleece ; less in lint, and more in warp and woof. To systematise our work, and calculate intelligently on probabilities. To discountenance the credit system, the mortgage system, the fashion system, and every other system tending to prodigality and bankruptcy. We propose meeting together, talking together, working together, buying together, selling together, and in general acting together, for our mutual proteciion and advance-ment, a* occasion may require. We shall avoid litigation as much as pos-sible by arbitration in the Grange. We shall constantly strive to secure entire harmony, good will, vital brotherhood among ourselves and to make our order perpetual. We shall earnestly endeavor to suppress personal, local, sectional and national prejudices, all ua-healthy rivalry, all seltish ambi-lion. Faitbiul adherence to these principles will insure our mental, moral, social and material advance-ment. BUSINESS RELATIONS. 4. For our business interests, we desire to bring producers and consu-mers, farmers and manufacturers into the most direct and friendly rela-tions possible. Hence we must dis-pense with a surplus ol middlemen, not that we are unfriendly to them, but we do not need them. Their surplus and their exactions diminish ouv profits. We wage no aggressive warfare against any other interests whatever. On the contrary, all onr acts and all our efforts, so far as business is con-cerned, are not only for the benefit of the producer and consumer, but also for all other interests that tend to bring these two parties into speedy and economical contact. Hence we hold that transportation companies ol every kind are necessiry to our sue-cess, that their interests are inti* mately connected with our interests, and harmonious action is mutually ad-vautageous, keeping in view the first sentence in our declaration of priu-ciples of action that ''Individual hap-piness depends upon general prosper-ity.' We shall, therefore, advocate for every State the increase in every practicable w.ay, of all lacilities for transporting cheaply to the sea-board; or between home producers and consumers' all the production of our country. We adopt it as onr fixed purpose, to open out the chan-nels in nature's gieat arteries that the life-blood ot commerce may flow freely. We are opposed to excessive salaries high rates ot interest, and exorbitant per cent profits in trade. They great-ly increase our burdens, and do not bear a proper proportion to the profits of producers. We desire only self-prolection and the protection of every true interest ot our land by legiti-mate transactions, legitimate trade, and legitimate profits. EDUCATION. * We shall advance the cause of edit-cation among ourselves and for our children, by all just means within our power. We especially advocate tor our agricultural and industrial colleges that practical agriculture, domestic science, and all the arts which adorn the home, be taught in their course of study. Til ® GRANGE NOT PAKT1ZAN. 5. We emphatically and sincerely assert the oft repealed truth taught in our organic law, that tbe Grange National, State or Subordinate, is not a political or party organization, No Grange, if true to its obligations-can discuss political or religious ques. tions, nor call political conventions, nor nominate candidates, nor even discuss their merits in its meetings. Yet the principles we teach under-lie all true politics, all true states-manship, and, if properly carried out, will tend to purify the whole political atmosphere of our country. For we seek the greatest good to the greats est Dumber. We must always boar in mind that no one, by becoming a Patron of Hus-bandry, gives up that inalienable right and duty which belongs to every American citizen, to take a proper m-teresc in the politics of the country. On the contrary, it is right lor every member to do all in his power legitimately to influence for good the action of any political party to which he belongs. It is his duty to do all he can in his own party to put down bribery, corruption, and trick* ery ; to see that none but competent, faithful, and honest men, who will unflinchingly standby our industrial isterests are nominated for ail posi-tions of trust; and to have carried out the principle which should al-ways , characterize every P.tron, that THE OFFICE SHOULD SEEK THE MAN, AND NOT THE MAN TllE OFFICE. We acknowledge the broad principle that difference of opinion is no crime, and hold that "progress toward truth is made by difference of opinion;" while "the fault lies in bitterness of contro* versy." VV e desire a proper equality, equity, and fairness; protection for the weak, re-straint upon the strong; in short, justly distributed burdens and justly distribu-ted power. These are American ideas, the very essence of American iudepen-dence, and to advocate the contrary is unworthy of the sons and daughters of an American republic. We cherish the belief tha; sectionalism is, aud of right should be, .dead and buried with the past. Our work is for the present and future. Iu our agricul-tural brotherhood and its purposes we shall recognize no North, ho South, no East, no West. It is reserved by every Patron, as the right of a freeman, to affiliate with any party that will best carry out his princi-ciples. OUTSIDE COOPERATION. 0. Ours being peculiarly a far-mers' institution, we can not admit all to our ranks. Many are excluded by the nature of our organization, not because they are professional men, or artisans, or laborers, but because they have uot a sufficient direct interest in tilling the soil, cr may have interest in conflict with our purposes Hut we appeal to all good citizens for their cordial cooperation to assist in our efforts to-ward reform, that we may eventually remove from our midst the last ves- Uge of tyranny and corruption. We hail the general desire for fra-ternal harmony, equitable com pros inises, aud earnest cooperation, as an omen of our future success. CONCLUSION. 7. It shall be an abiding principle with us to relieve any of our oppress-ed and suffering brotherhood by any means at our command. Last,but not least, wc proclaim it amoDg- our purposes to inculcate a proper appreciation of the abilitits and sphere o: woman, as is indicated by admitting her to membership ami po:ition iu our order. Imploring the continued assistance of onr Divine Master to guide us in our Work, we here pledge ourselves to faithful and harmonious labor for all future time, to return by our united efforts to the wisdom, justice, fraternity, and political purity of our forefathers. The report of the committee was adopt-ed and ordered printed. Brother Aiken moved that the memos rial of the Cotton States' representatives receive the sanction of this Grange and 1*3 printed. Adopted. MEMORIAL TO THE COTTON [STATES. The undersigned, representatives of the Cotton States in the National Grange, beg leave to present,to the Patrons of Husbandry in the cotton-growicg section of the Union, the following suggestions, which they believe to be justified by the presex r condition of the South. During the past seven years, our cotton fields have added to the wealth of the world ($2,000,000,000) two thousand millions of dollars, anti caused prosperity to smile upon every one who has handled cur crops, save those who struggled for its production. Annually the energies of the cotton planter have been exhausted iu attempting to produce a maximum crop of a single staple, whilst quite as frequently he has reduced his means in supplying his necessary wants. A system based upon such a policy and producing such results, must be radically wrong, and if persisted in; will lead to bank-ruptcy and ruin. We oropose to inquire into the cause of this evil, and, if possi-ble, present a method of removing it. Hus it been that the supply of cotton has exceeded the demand f Statistics do not prove this a fact. Is it that, our labor has been unreliable and expensive '( The same labor investment has now.ltere yielded a greater market value of proNO. 15 ducts. Has Providenpe inflicted u agricultural disasters ? lie has ofu" terposed for our benefits. What then averted our anticipated prosper-ity i Are we not responsible for our diraicl condition, in that we have neglected too much the growth ef breadstuff's, aud substituted there-for almost exclusively the cultivation ot cotton. No people can ever be-come prosperous who are not self* sustaining. Our fertile soil, exhaust-less mineral wealth, abundant water power, and genial, salubrious climate avail us nothing if annually we ex* pend millions lor subsistence. It is generally conceded that home-grown bread is cheaper than purchased sup* plies ; and tbe observation of every planter is, that those Southern farm* ors who live within themselves are more independent and less encura-bered with debt than those who have relied solely upon tho cotton crop. VV ere it otherwise, it is hazardous lor any people to rely upon others fora supply of those articles which are necessary for their daily consump-tion. t The horrors of famine, which have moie than once cursed the people of India, in their efforts to grow cotton to the exclusion of breadstuff's, would have been repeated iu our midst but that we were able to sup-ply our necessities from the teeming granaries of the North-west. We shrink from the contemplation of what would be our condition should disaster deprive U9 of that resource. During the past year, certain portions of Iowa, Minnesota and Dakota have been invaded by the grasshopper, which has swept their fields like a fire, and destroyed every vestige of vegetation. Imagine your condition, should a similar invasion become general in the Northwest. Couple with this idea the total failure of a cotton crop, either trorn the worms, from drought, or from any other unavoidable cause. Improba-ble as such visitations may appear, have we the power to prevent them; and is it wise to subject ourselves to the possi-bility of becoming the victims of such calamities t Depend upon it, our wisest and safest policy is, as far as practicable, to produce at home our necessary sup-plies. Is there a farm in the South upon which ;his cannot be done, and at ths same time produce an average cotton crop as the net result of the fanners' annual labors i We believe there is not; and you have only to practice this policy for the year 1874, and the harvest-time will proclaim redemption to the South, and a return to its wonted prosperity. As our Constitution expresses it "the PROSPERITY OF A NATION is in proportion to the value of its productions.'* Then how magnifl-ceutly prosperous should be the cot-ton btates of this Union! Annually four millions (4,000,000) of bale* of cotton are produced upon Southern soil. But what proportion of this vast amount is retained to indicate our prosperity ? One-half of it is ex-pended for necessary supplies, whilst the remainder is divided between labor and taxes. Hence the cost of production has succeeded the value ol the article produced. Shall this policy continue? Extensive cotton crops have evinced our unity of pur* pose, aud entailed poverty upon us. An equal uniform adhesion to mixed husbandry would secure our reeupera-tion. Patrons of the South, do you ap-preciatc your privileges? Reflect upon your opportunity to exact tri-bute ot the world. Cotton is a nes cessity, and the extent of that ne-cessity can be calculated with ex-aclnes*. It is equally wel! known what proportion of that necessity must be supplied by the eots ton States of America. If three million five hundred thousand bales(3,500,000) are grown, they will be consumed before another crou can be gathered, and a remunerative market price will be sustained by the consequent demand. If four million five hundred thousand (4,500,- 000) are grown, the large maiginal excess will coutrol and depress the market Is it not in the power of our organ-ization t» coutrol this feature of^our condition? Alternatives for success are numer-ous, but ye need rely upon the single one ot co-operating in the determin-ation to subsist ai home. With this end attained, there is no reason why we should not be the happiest, most independent aud prosperous people on earth. ^ D. Wyatt Aiken, S C., Member Ex. Committee National Grange. W. II.

Roman house types cannot be described as uniform, in the same way that houses of the present day all vary. Depending on the location and period being studied there are vast differences between house types. Despite this there appear to be some architectural requirements noticeable both in the archaeology and shown by ancient authors such as Vitruvius, which would indicate that the Romans followed guidelines when building to construct an 'ideal' Roman house as much as possible. Both archaeology and literature can be used to complement each other in the study of the Roman house, as they can each give a suggestion of the use of different rooms. In some cases where one discipline may not have the answer, the other may provide a clue as to the function of certain spaces. It is important to use archaeology to critically analyse the ancient sources, as we have very few that discuss domestic architecture, and those that do tend to generalise and focus on certain house types such as the homes of the aristocracy. This study will look at the different types of houses found in the Roman Empire and how their development changed over time, focusing particularly on how houses are portrayed in the sources and what archaeology has brought to the subject, which cannot be interpreted from literature alone.
The earliest type of aristocratic house to be described as 'Roman' is the atrium house, attributed to the third century BC onwards (Ellis 2000: 26). According to Ellis (2000:26) the atrium house had a main passage leading to the atrium courtyard, which was covered largely by a sloping roof, open in the centre. The impluvium, a small pool was below this. There were three different types of these atrium houses, each where the atrium had a different type of roof called compluviate, displuviate and testudinate (Ellis 2000: 26-7). Generally there was a main reception room called the tablinum with two alae (rooms open to the atrium), one on either side, the cubicula (bedrooms) were located on each side of the atrium (Ellis 2000: 27). Evidence of atrium houses is not found in the province of Italy alone, there is also the possibility of atrium houses in Spain and southern France such as House 1 at Ampurias and the House of the Dolphin at Vaison (Ellis 2000:29). Allison (2001: 192) has suggested that whether or not an atrium house is labelled as such depends on how similar it is to a Pompeian atrium house. This idea that Pompeii is the best model to use, would indicate that even modern scholars are influenced by the information most readily available to them in discerning between house types.
The peristyle house became prevalent in the first century AD, when it co-existed with the atrium house initially (Dwyer 1991: 25-48, cited by Ellis 2000: 31) and it eventually became the most common of all aristocratic houses in the Empire (Ellis 2000: 31). In the peristyle house the courtyard was more open than the atrium (Ellis 2000: 29) and it was usually a garden (Ellis 200: 34). With the peristyle came the oecus (a dining room) normally located next to the peristyle (Ellis 2000: 35). An example of a peristyle house is the House of the Vetii in Pompeii, which as well as having two atria has a peristyle, which in this instance is a statued garden (Ellis 2000: 1-4).
The House of the Vetii, is also a good example of an aristocratic townhouse. It was a richly decorated house, with three reception rooms and a separate quarter for servants, as well as these it had a shop, a shrine and a porter's lodge (Ellis 2000: 1-4).
Ellis (2000: 11) describes a villa as a lavish house on a country estate, with the use of terraces and porticoes (Ellis 2000: 52). The majority of villas were part of a working estate (Sear 1992: 35). The most extravagant villas were on the coast and above cliffs, for example in the Bay of Naples area (Ellis 2000: 11). Tiberius' Villa Jovis at Capri is one such villa (Ellis 2000:11). It has a large kitchen with enough space to prepare for a banquet, cisterns for water supply and a bath complex (Ellis 2000: 12). However Ellis (2000: 13) does say that this could be considered a palace instead of a villa.
The word 'palace' comes from the palatine hill in Rome (Ellis 2000: 54), the location of the house of the first Emperor Augustus (Ellis 2000: 53). Ellis (2000: 54) believes that Augustus deliberately made his own home more domestic, while still including some palatial features. This would seem sensible considering Augustus' fragile position as the first Princeps, and making his home look too palatial may have been a concern to the senate, at a time when Augustus was eager to conceal his true power. Nero's Domus Aurea (Golden House) included rectangular reception rooms centred around peristyles, with polygonal courtyards (Ellis 2000: 55), taking regular domestic architecture and changing it to make it more extravagant. Though it was located in the city, the golden house was in extensive grounds, which included a vineyard, woodlands and a lake (Sear 1992: 35). It is clear that Nero was less conscious than Augustus of upsetting others with the vastness of his property. Palaces or palatial villas were also on a much larger scale than other housing. For example Hadrian's villa at Tivoli which covered more than half a square kilometre (Sear 1992: 35).
Sear (1992: 29) tells us that apartment blocks started to replace the older houses in the early Empire. In some places such as Pompeii , this was done by dividing mansions into smaller apartments (Sears 1992: 33). In Rome new apartment blocks (insulae), built in brick and concrete replaced those that had been ruined in the fire of AD64 (Sear 1992: 33). Insulae were not normally above five storeys (Sear 1992:34) and their features usually consisted of staircases from upper rooms leading to the street, shops in the ground floor rooms, a water cistern in the courtyard for the whole block and a lavatory per floor (Sear 1992: 34). An example is the Insula of Serapis at Ostia, consisting of two residential blocks with a bathing suite between them (Sear 1992: 34). Insulae were normally rental units (McKay 1975: 82), built by the wealthy who were able to pay workers and purchase supplies (McKay 1975: 93).
Roman houses as in other cultures changed and developed over time. Different rooms within houses were more important at different times, for example the triclinium became more important under the Empire (Ellis 2000: 27). Allison (2001: 193) also introduces a fair point when she says that the uses of different rooms probably changed over time and that it should not be imagined that they stayed the same throughout the Roman period. This can be shown in many provincial houses, which seem to have made rooms for public business relatively late in the third to fourth centuries, unlike in Rome (Ellis 1988: 569). The peristyle house continued for longer in the eastern part of the Empire (Ellis 1988: 565), one of these later houses being the House of the Falconer at Argos dating to 530-550 (AkerstrÅm-Hougen 1974, cited by Ellis 1988: 565). The palatial architecture largely depended on the character of the Emperor of the time, for example Diocletian reverted back to a more standard villa (Ellis 2000: 61).
Vitruvius is the ancient author who gives the best focus to Roman housing as a subject. He largely concentrates on the dimensions of a house, for example his description of courtyards and the basic angles and measurements that are generally used in each type (Vitruvius 6.3. 1). His account could be explained as a set of rules for the perfect Roman house, such as when he states that the portraits in the atrium had to be the same height as the breadth of side rooms (Vitruvius 6.3. 6). Ellis (2000: 14) believes that some of the features described by Vitruvius may not actually have existed. It is true that Vitruvius does not give examples of houses that conform to his descriptions, but it is unlikely that an individual house would have all the features he mentions as he is describing the ideal. It seems possible that there were houses that each had some of the characteristics he describes.
As to the uses of space there is some information described by Vitruvius, for example he tells us that winter dining rooms and bathrooms need to face south west to maximise the use of the evening light and sunset and the need for libraries to face east to protect the books from rot (Vitruvius 6.4. 1). He also states that certain spaces were reserved for family members, while places like vestibules and courtyards could be entered by any of the public even when not invited (Vitruvius 6.5.1).Ellis' (2000: 14) view is that although Vitruvius seems to go into great detail when describing the 'Roman House', it is very much focused on the Italian province as Vitruvius does not know as much about provincial architecture. Although at one point Vitruvius does describe Cyzicene halls, which are different from Italian ones (6.3. 10) it seems that unless Vitruvius had travelled widely, he may not have seen other examples of housing from different areas. Had he seen them he may not have thought they were as important to discuss, as they were not generally the result of Roman architectural styles alone but incorporated some native designs. Indeed as Allison (2001: 188) states, studies of houses outside Italy rely a lot more on archaeology than literature for evidence. This shows that the few writers that did explore the genre of housing in the Roman period only really focused on houses from a very small area, both geographically and economically.
Ellis (2000: 14) mentions that Vitruvius only talks about the housing of the wealthy. As insulae were sometimes created when an older building became run down and leased out as smaller apartments, perhaps Vitruvius thought they were not worth describing as there was no real building process involved in their creation. As with many ancient writers he was only interested in writing about the lifestyle of the rich, as they would have been his audience. The weakness of Vitruvius is that he does not give much information about the use of the different rooms he describes, remaining very much with technical descriptions.
Pliny the Younger is another writer we can examine who gives an account of Roman housing. He does this through a different perspective to Vitruvius, putting two descriptions of his own coastal villa near Rome in his letters to Gallus (Letters, 2.17) and Domitius Apollinaris (Letters, 5.6). In both letters Pliny is very descriptive urging his reader to believe all the merits, which his villa displays. He describes some of the rooms for example the small courtyard, dining room and hall (Letters, 2.17) and he explains that he uses the villa in bad weather due to its good design (Letters 2.17). Pliny's aim is to amaze his friends with his description, therefore he is bound to exaggerate the merits of his home and not mention any faults or dislike of certain features that he may have had. Some scholars (Fortsch 1993 and Drummer 1994, cited by Allison 2001: 183) believe that Pliny wanted to show his expertise in architectural terminology. This may be what leads him to discuss the layout of his home rather than the behaviour within it. He describes his house as having an old-fashioned hall (Letters 5.6), which shows scholars he was aware of the changing styles over time. Pliny also tells of his villa's upper story (Letters 2.17), which is useful as this is not always obvious in the archaeological record. In both letters he describes the views of sea, woods and mountains seen from each room of his house in great detail, indicating that this was one of the most important features to Roman aristocracy. Detailed descriptions of features such as views also makes Pliny's house seem much more real and vivid than any that Vitruvius describes.
Pliny could be seen as more useful than Vitruvius in that he describes an actual place rather than models and it can help archaeologists to know the room uses in houses such as Pliny's, when excavating elsewhere. However Ellis (2000: 14) admits that archaeologists have found attempts at reconstructing Pliny's house from his letters alone a problem. Pliny also claims that many of the rooms used by slaves and freedmen in his house are able to be used by guests (Letters 2.17), which tells us much about Roman society in general and the relatively amiable treatment of slaves.
Ellis (2000: 15) points out that for most Roman writers who mention houses, their focus was not intended to be on the house but mention it in passing. Tacitus (Ann. 15.42) talks about Nero's Golden House as a way of showing his selfish character and Cicero (A.353 (XIII.52)) in his letter to Atticus in 45BC while talking about having Caesar as a guest, gives an idea of the use of space in his house in Puteoli. He also mentions having a second house at Tusculum in the letter, which shows the wealth of the some members of the aristocracy.
In many ways archaeology provides better evidence than literary sources. For example Allison (2001 184) believes that in general ancient writers do not provide any worthwhile information about the spatial side of behaviour within a house. However she also acknowledges that sometimes there are problems with archaeological data when it is not carefully documented, leading to meaningless data (Allison 2001: 185). In some respects it is important to rely of information from both disciplines depending on the evidence available to us. For example in Spain there is lots of evidence for villas and less for townhouses, and in Africa this is the opposite (Ellis 2000: 40). Although a combination of archaeology and ancient sources can be useful, Allison (2001: 185) notes that it is not always practical to try and apply the archaeological evidence to the alleged room spacing found in literature as room uses were probably more fluid than they imply.
On the whole, it is almost impossible to describe a typical Roman house, no matter what writers like Vitruvius would have us believe, as housing was dependant on personal inclination, as demonstrated by Pliny the Younger. There were various different types of housing in the Roman period, in different centuries, locations and for people of several statuses. Only a small minority of these houses are represented by descriptions in ancient sources, which are those of the wealthy. The rest are primarily examined through archaeology, which if done accurately can provide us with some idea of spacing within houses. It is important not to discount literary sources completely as accounts generally provide an element of detail unavailable to us through archaeology, but it is important not to assume these accounts are reliable especially without more named examples in the texts. Archaeology and ancient sources can be used to complement each other if scholars take into account that it is not practical to try and apply information we receive from one discipline to fit the other.

Its Monday ... and around our house, at least this week, it doesn't feel much different than the last couple of days. M was off work for 3 days -- and is off until this coming Friday, as well. We spent our "weekend" doing a whole lot of nothing, really. We stuck close to home, for the most part, running a couple paper errands, getting M a haircut and the kids a cookie-treat, and catching a really great guest sermon at church. Otherwise, we were cuddled up on the couch with Netflix, playing with toys, or doing chores around the house. I meant it when I said our weekend wasn't very eventful. But at least we were together, it was sunny, even if it was freezing cold, and everyone is healthy. I can't ask for much more than that, can I?
How was your weekend? Did you do something fun?

Top 5 Reasons You're Terrible At Bowhunting Turkeys
I've got a few buddies who couldn't arrow a tom if you staked one down 10 yards from their blind and gave them five shots. Some people, for a variety of reasons, just can't hack it as turkey bowhunters. My friends aren't alone in their springtime misery, and several of them have largely given up their bows in lieu of a 12-gauge.
I can't really fault them for that, but if you're a struggling turkey bowhunter, consider making a few changes to your setup and strategies before going back to the bang stick. There are several things most of us could change to increase our odds of tagging out in April, and most are relatively easy to do.
If you're simply not a closer, but desperately want to make it happen each spring to join the ranks of professional turkey skewerers, check out these five problems that might be holding you back.
And then fix them.
Hail-Mary Hunts
I'm to the point now where my decoys are always set up within about four to eight yards of my blind.
I want a stupid easy shot at any approaching gobblers, and if a cagey three-year old decides to give me a drive-by, I want him to be in range too. Way, way too many bowhunters set their decoys out at distances that are more suited for a load of 5s instead of an arrow. Put them close and give yourself a gimme shot.
Obvious Fakes
When I bought a flock of Dave Smith Decoys I didn't know how they'd change my life, but for the price, I thought that they should. And they did.
I went from so-so turkey action, to gobblers committing like they thought they were going to star in a hunting show. It was insane how much of a difference good decoys made. If you're wondering why longbeards don't strut into your setup, this is probably why. You'd be better off buying one really good decoy instead of a flock of crappy ones.
This Way And That
And speaking of decoys, think about how a real group of birds or even a pair of birds, walks through the woods and fields.
There usually aren't four birds walking in four opposite directions, yet that's how people set up their decoys. It's much better to make it seem like your little flock of fakes is all headed in the same general direction. This won't matter on dumb, unhunted birds, but will help persuade heavily hunted gobblers that he's looking at the kind of party he should probably join.
Horrible Language Skills
Of my buddies who have largely given up on bowhunting turkeys, most are horrible callers. Now I know that you're thinking,"Well I've heard some pretty horrible sounding hens in real life, so what about that?" To which I reply, what about that?
A bad sounding real hen still gets it right in a way that sounds real, and a bad sounding hunter usually doesn't. There is a cadence to turkey calling and an intangible knowledge base that comes from communicating with lots of birds that matters a lot. If you're not comfortable calling or are using calls that just don't cut it, make a change.
Paper-Plate Groups Are No Bueno
I've missed an embarrassing amount of turkeys in my life. So many, that I started to develop a practice routine that involved realistic 3D targets, shooting from blind chairs, and occasionally, shooting out of a blind.
You've got about a softball-sized target to hit that is covered in feathers and awfully prone to movement. I firmly believe that anyone who bowhunts turkeys should have at least one turkey target and that they should put in a month of shooting before the season opener. It does wonders for building muscle memory and the confidence necessary to make a shot count.
