Generally, white people who appropriate black culture make a mess of it. There are (approximately) a zillion awkward downfalls for every one exception, and those exceptions can be counted on half of one hand. Vanilla Ice, Quentin Tarantino and now, Mr Big Stuff, which is actually a restaurant and not a person.
It's located at Meyers Place near Parliament station. The restaurant website describes it as "Adding a little bit of soul into Melbourne's dining scene." Which is accurate, because the soul music it blares does reach you at the door. The space is warm and energetic, with the wait staff bustling about in cute diner-esque uniforms, delivering trays of Kool-Aide cocktails and mac'n'cheese. It's all like something out of a movie.
When your food arrives, any worries about cultural appropriation disappear. How do you turn coleslaw, waffles with fried chicken and apple pie into high-end eating? You get the former head chef of Grossi Florentino, Louis Naepels, to handle the cooking. It's a Maury-inspired menu, but delivered fresh, perfectly prepared and generally with a twist. The blackened snapper with clams and black-eyed peas is piquant and rich. The braised tongue and cheek on a bed of pumpkin puree does that melt-in-your-mouth thing. Delicious doesn't quite do it justice.
The restaurant is decked out with sound-proofing material, with an in-house turntable that gets turned Thursday to Saturday. As the night progresses, the soul gradually softens to R'n'B and then ups to hip-hop and that's when those Kool-Aide cocktails really start to flow. It must be said, Mr Big Stuff is a lot of fun.
Mr Big Stuff
16 Meyers Place, Melbourne
Mon to Sat 6pm–11.30pm
A lunch service to be announced soon.

Let's set the scene: it's 6pm on 1st January 2019 (canny believe I'm saying this) and I'm cosied up in my bedroom. The fairy-lights are a'twinkling, because I'm refusing to let go of the interior-side of the festivities just yet, my hair's scraped off my face in that cba-to-make-effort bun, I'm wearing the COMFIEST and cheapest leggings known to man (thank u Primark) and lying in front of me is my 2019 diary. Festooned with a star-print design, with '2019' emblazoned across the front in impossible to miss gold lettering, this diary is yet unopened, screaming endless possibilities and a good dose of naive hope for the year ahead.
Opening a new diary and planning out sketchily the year, whilst planning in detail the next couple months that lie before me, is something I do every single 1st January, without fail. Each year, I'm filled with unbridled hope and joy for the unknowns that are ahead. I know this might very well make me an absolute weirdo, but I adore New Year's more so than Christmas. There's a certain optimism in the air that we fail to produce during other months, and it feels as if the possibilities are endless.
However, one thing I've realised throughout 2018 is that this optimism is something that might ebb and flow during the year, and that it's okay to feel a lil pessimistic from time to time. Not everything will be perfect, and the weird high-energy we feel at the beginning of a new year is partly deserving, and partly a lil white lie. But nonetheless, I absolutely revel in this optimistic energy, and start each new year with a new surge of productivity and positivity. And that's nowt to be ashamed of!
2018 was a good year, but it definitely had its downs. What I find incredibly strange to have found in 2018 is that often, positive achievements and major milestones don't always equate to your mindset and head space. In 2017, I'd say that was a hella more positive year for my achievements: I secured an internship with Heat Magazine in London, I embarked on some incredible holidays abroad for which I am very lucky to have had, and my grades were considerably better than in 2018. However, I spent the majority of 2017 dealing with anxious thoughts and low moods, I reached out for counselling and I didn't feel a happy bean for most of the year.
Whereas in 2018, whilst I've still accomplished things I'm incredibly proud of, it's felt a lil less 'successful' than its preceding year. And by defining 'success', I mean in terms of work experience and academia. My grades in my second year slipped slightly to my first year (although I was still perfectly happy with them) I secured some awesome work experience, but in local organisations and not national ones, and I spent my summer holidays being less than productive. However, I have generally felt better mentally- feeling a hella more happy than in 2017.
And I think that's something to take into 2019 with me: success and achievements does not always equate personal happiness. And sometimes running yourself to the ground for the sake of accruing more 'achievements' isn't something to prioritise. Your happiness and well-being always should come first.
So with that, let's think about some goals imma be setting myself for 2019.
Now, before people roll their eyes and stop reading because 'goals' must therefore equate to something unattainable and something imma fail to stick to after the January fake-optimism, let me just say that imma be keeping things REALISTIC here. No ridiculous 'OMG 2019 WILL JUST BE THE BEST YEAR YET' or 'NEW YEAR, NEW ME'- let's just be frank about all of this.
Time is a concept we have literally invented just to keep our lil pea brains from explodin' at how unfathomably uncontrollable this world is, and 2019 will just be another 365 in the many we experience on this planet. Nothing revelatory; we are the same people. However, there are some things that the time concept has allowed me to understand in the last 365 days and they are lessons I'll be taking with me into 2019.
And it also goes without saying that the next 365 days just happen to be pretty massive for me- not because it's 'another year', but because somewhere in those hundreds of days I'll be graduating, getting my first ever job and potentially moving to a new city. Some pretty crazy stuffs. So let's keep things real and discuss REALISM for 2019, yeah?
Ease off on the whole 'living for other people' front
As much as I do not want to admit this, I'm a lil control freak.
I care ridiculous amounts for the people I love, and I want what's best for them. So much so that sometimes I can find myself nagging at my boyf or sis about certain things I think they should be doing to benefit themselves, and I worry way too much about my loved ones, to the extent that I'll often try to live for them. I think this stems from other unhappy past experiences, such as losing my Dad in 2016, and because of that I never want my loved ones to feel pain or unhappiness again. I just want everyone to be happy, in short.
But sometimes this has meant that I'm left unhappy, worn out, anxious or sad, because I've spent so much of my energy on others that I've ended up neglecting myself. I've learnt in 2018, just through experience and through counselling, that it's okay to think about myself, and it's okay to be a little selfish. It's time for me to let go, slowly but surely, and think about me a lil more.
My counsellor once said something that really resonates with me, and it's something I think we should all remember sometimes: in the safety talks on a plane, the air hostess will tell you to put your own oxygen mask on first, before helping others, in the event of an emergency. This is because if you haven't helped yourself first, you'll be less effective helping others. You've got to make sure you're in a good place yourself, so that you can then use the right amount of energy on others to make sure they're okay.
This is something imma try and do in 2019- and I know it's okay if I struggle to do this effectively at first. Nothing changes overnight.
Learn to enjoy the unknowns slightly more
I got myself in a right tizz n a half around November, when panic set in about what the heck imma do with my life come graduation.
I have an idea of a career path, and the cities I'd love to live in- so I'm lucky to have a route I want to go down. However, having a concrete idea can often feel as terrifying as having no clue what to do, because the route can feel absolutely impossible.
I want to be a lifestyle journalist, but I have no middle-class family to support my low income in London, next to no contacts in the industry, and living in London on my ownio feels horrifying right now. Therefore, everything felt rather terrifying back in November.
But slowly but surely, I'm starting to realise that with a lack of grad schemes in the industry I want to go into, the reality is that I'll be way past graduating before I can even start looking for jobs that begin in September, in cities that I want to move to. And to find somewhere to rent, I'll be looking on Rightmove around a month before I move in, as such is the way with renting. Terrifying, I know- but an exciting challenge at that. And before November set in, I felt nothing but excitement at the prospect.
The unknowns can be wonderful, and life takes you on journeys you wouldn't even have expected a few months prior, so I need to just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Prioritise happiness over 'success'
I touched on this earlier in the post, by saying that one thing 2018 has very much taught me is that 'success' does not always equate to a happy mindset.
Sometimes I work myself to the ground, because I have a desire to achieve the things I've dreamed of, but sometimes this leaves me burnt out, anxious and downright tired. And who wants to feel like that 24/7?! I've learnt to say no to some opportunities in 2018, and learnt to feel okay with passing up opportunities, and this is something I want to continue into 2019.
Getting the right balance between work and relaxation is incredibly hard whilst doing a demanding degree, so I'm looking forward to come May finishing university and having the chance to prioritise my well-being more.
Realise what success I would like, though
I'm a compulsive list-maker, and I always love setting mini goals for myself. When I know what I want, I wanna go for it. Therefore it's unrealistic to think that 2019 hits and I immediately stop trying so hard to achieve things I wanna. It just ain't gon' happen for this Virgo perfectionist. Therefore, I want to set myself some realistic goals for 2019, centered around both my work and happiness.
Firstly, I want to do well in my degree, after three years of working hard for it. Secondly, I want to celebrate by seeing the world: I want to get on holibobs to somewhere I've never been before. Thirdly, I want to keep this baby, my blog, going- and to devote more time to it once university has ended and I can have that luxury. Fourthly, I wanna get me a lil job, nothing that's a step on the career ladder just yet, but something that still inspires me and allows me to save up money for a while, so that in a year or two I can either head and do a Masters in Journalism, or pop to London and begin my dream career there. These things take prep and money, and I've realised me dreams ain't able to start overnight. And fifthly, I want to move to a new city, one of which I very much have in mind.
Let's hope it happens- and if I don't achieve all of these goals, I ain't gon' beat myself up 'bout it. There's always 2020, eh?
Fill up dat glass a lil more
When I get anxious, I immediately become perhaps the most pessimistic person you've ever met.
I've learnt not to beat myself up about that, because anxiety is something we can't always control- it's a flight or fight reaction our minds go through when we're faced with stress. Nothing is permanent, either, and these anxious moods will pass to more positive ones again.
However, I know now that there are things I can do to control these moments- such as always thinking of the other reactions to situations I may find myself in. There's always the glass half empty, or the glass half full approach to everything we encounter in life. And imma start reminding myself of the full glass more often!
Here's to a 2019 that will still very much have its ups and downs, but imma hopeful that I'm able to counteract the downs more often with a lotta practice!
Feed ze soul w good nutrients pls
A happy mind often equates to a happy, healthy body. And a happy, healthy body is proving better for the environment, too. So this next 365 days, I wanna be a lot more conscious about what I'm feeding my lil tummy. Cutting down my meat intake is something I definitely want to do, for personal benefits and also environmental benefits. Exercising regularly is difficult when my 9-5 is taken up by university work, leaving me exhausted at the end of the day. But imma make more effort to take more time for myself to exercise n feel happier.
If I find something I want, go get it – regardless of what other people would rather I do (to an extent, ya know)
I guess this comes back to living for myself more, and not for others as much. Sometimes it's easy to listen to what others you love might prefer for you, instead of sticking to your guns on something you know will make you happy. You know you, and when the decisions you're making will have a life-changing impact on yourself, that's when you know you've got to listen to your heart, rather than to other people's brains, as much. And with many an important decision landing on me throughout 2019, it's time to do moi.
Take time OUT
I'm bladdy awful at relaxing. Absolutely the WORST.
I can't remember the last time I watched TV, I take about six years to get through a Netflix series and I can't remember the last time I read a book for enjoyment, and not because it was on my university's reading list. I told my counsellor in one of my first sessions that my 'relaxation' consisted of this blog, and she genuinely laughed in my face. Because as much as this is something I am passionate about and something that's a break from university, it's not exactly the most relaxing thing to do. I need to learn to take time out more, and imma start by binge-watching the end of Gossip Girl. 2019 is the year to FINALLY find out who that mysterious blogger is.
No spoilers, pls.
Acknowledge the bad days, and let them happen
As I've already mentioned, 2017 was the year I found out rather suddenly what it was like to be 'anxious'. I'd never felt feelings of anxiety before, and when it came on, it came on rather hard.
I struggled a lot in 2017, and still have in 2018, although I do feel like I understood better how to cope with the onset of anxious feelings now. And I'm under no illusion, with or without the unbridled positivity of a new year, that 2019 will throw up similar challenges. I just wanted to acknowledge that here, now, in this blog post, just to make it bladdy clear that life does not ever just become 'perfect'.
Yesterday, on New Year's Eve, my Instagram feeds and stories were full of people looking over their 'highlights' and how perfect their 2018 had been. Which is all well and good, and it's wonderful we've all had such wonderful memories to look back on, but no year is perfect. No one has just good days. And it's acknowledging these bad days and letting them happen which makes our lives more content.
Live for NOW
Ah, the present. What a beautiful moment.
This is something I've started to realise during the last 365 days. I've spent a lot of time either lamenting the past or panicking over the future that often I forget to just think about and live what I'm doing RIGHT NOW. And right now, Imma typing away on my lil computer, in my comfies, under the glow of a fairy-light, and I'm quite enjoying myself.
I know there'll be bad days to come, things I've been through in the past still come to upset me, and the future few months (with mahoosive decisions to come) still bladdy well panic me, but right now is all we have. And right now, everything is just a'okay.
Here's to 2019 and all it's ups and downs people – enjoy 'em! xxxx

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) and Westpac have been ranked in the top 25 banks globally, with the performance of the top publicly listed global banking institutions for 2017 revealed by GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.
The analysis disclosed the top nine players in 2016 maintained their place in the top nine last year despite some minor positional movements, with JPMorgan Chase having maintained the top position for both years.
Lead analyst at GlobalData, Amal George, said the majority of the top 25 companies did not have a similarly good run, with an overall average revenue decline of 4.1 per cent.
This was evident in Australian banks, with CBA and Westpac having dropped two and four spots respectively, sitting at 12th and 20th in 2017.
The analysis showed that the top 25 continued to have adequate liquidity with an average loan-to-deposit (LTD) measure of 77.8 per cent. CBA and Westpac saw an average LTD ratio of over 100 per cent, however, indicating a dependence on wholesale funding.
The average of net interest income to net revenue was 56.6 per cent for the top 25 while the top 10 reported a slightly better average of 57.8 per cent.
''In 2018, the banks are expected to continue to revamp their legacy systems into a more robust, simple, and modern IT infrastructure that has the capability to integrate new solutions with minimal internal disruption," said George. "They are likely to leverage data analytics more than ever before to offer customized product offerings."
"Mobile Technology is fast changing the way banking is done in terms of customer experience and pushing operating margins," he added. "On the regulatory side, changes such as the material rewrite of the Volcker Rule, proposed creation of intermediate holding companies for local banks in the EU and the transparency requirements of MiFID II could continue to drive changes in the banks' strategies and market structure.''
Adoption of FinTech technologies remained another focus for banks, with the world's leading 22 banks having developed the blockchain-based international payments system.

"Estate-bottled BOTTEGA VINAIA is the outcome of a vision shared by Giacinto Giacomini and Anselmo Martini, managing director and lead winemaker, respectively, at the widely recognized Cavit winery. Starting in the early 1990s, Giacomini and Martini sought to explore the optimum potential of a handful of extraordinary vineyards in northern Italy's Trentino region that, year after year, consistently produce the highest quality grapes. This select group of family-farmed vineyards is the source of Bottega Vinaia, an exceptional line of artisan wines that reflects the authentic qualities of the Trentino terroir. Thanks to Giacomini's and Martini's passion and tireless drive, Bottega Vinaia has swiftly joined the ranks of Italy's top-notch premium wine producers. Production Area Grapes are sourced from a tiny cluster of vineyards located 400-550 meters above sea level in the Dolomite Alps north of Lake Garda. These vineyards share a microclimate and soil conditions singularly well suited to production of high quality Pinot Grigio and have been farmed by the same two families for over 100 years. In daylight hours this area enjoys the warming effects of nearby Lake Garda, helping to keep the fruit moisture-free and resistant to disease. Cool nights promote fragrant, intense aromas uncommon in Pinot Grigio Grape Varieties 100% Pinot Grigio Vinification Grapes are handpicked and vinified on site. Musts are obtained from a gentle pressing, and fermentation conducted using selected yeasts at controlled temperatures of 68 degrees to 72 degrees F. Fining and clarification occur in stainless steel tanks, followed by stabilization and bottling in cold, sterile conditions Color Pale straw gold Bouquet Alluring floral perfume of an intensity and persistence rare in a Pinot Grigio Taste Fresh, dry and flavorful with a firm structure leading into a lingering finish, it displays character and finesse. 12% Alcohol"

What business can do to close the financial inclusion gender gap
What business can do to close the financial inclusion gender gap
This article originally appeared on BSR's blog and is reprinted here with permission.
In April, the World Bank released the latest results of the Global Findex database, the most comprehensive resource to understand how adults use financial services to save, borrow and protect themselves against economic shocks. The report showed a remarkable progress toward financial inclusion: Today, 69 percent of the global adult population has a formal account — whether with a bank or a mobile money provider — compared to only 51 percent in 2014. The data also points to an increase in the number of women who own an account: from 58 percent in 2014 to 65 percent in 2017, which means more women can make day-to-day transactions, invest in a business, safeguard their savings and plan for their futures.
However, despite these achievements, the global financial inclusion gender gap in developing countries remains. Our key takeaway of the 2017 Global Findex is that the private sector can play a key role in helping close the financial inclusion gender gap by supporting greater account ownership and usage among the women who make up the majority of workers in their supply chains.
On average, the financial inclusion gender gap today is 9 percentage points in developing countries, the same as seven years ago. In some countries, such as Bangladesh, Pakistan and Turkey, the gap is even higher — close to 30 percentage points. Overall, in developing economies, only 59 percent of women own an account and only 18 percent of them are saving at formal financial institutions, compared to 67 percent and 24 percent of men, respectively.
This gap persists because women are more likely to have lower literacy and digital literacy rates, lack the required documentation to open accounts and are less likely than men to own a mobile phone or have internet access. In addition, pervasive gender norms still discourage women from accessing and using financial products and services.
It's time for the private sector to step up to help address this. One key lever is for companies that source from developing countries to invest in female workers in their supply chains by providing financial literacy training, connecting them with available services and focusing on confidence-building to encourage women to take control of their finances. In addition, global brands can support their suppliers to make the switch from cash to electronic payroll.
Brands can use their influence and relationships with their suppliers to improve the financial inclusion of female workers. In the private sector, 230 million unbanked workers are still being paid in cash. Moreover, 20 percent of account owners reported having an inactive account.This data points to the need for providing not only access to bank accounts but also for supporting active usage.
Digitizing wages in industries that primarily employ women, such as the footwear, textile and garment industries, and using the workplace to provide women with the tools to take control of their finances significantly can contribute to addressing this.
In 2013, BSR launched HERfinance, an initiative to ensure that the poor — particularly women — have the proper knowledge, skills and attitudes toward financial services, enabling them to participate in the formal financial sector. The workplace-based programs focus on building the financial capability of workers and promoting greater uptake of financial products and services. In addition, in 2015 we launched the Digital Wages program with the support of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to drive financial inclusion by digitizing salary payments in global supply chains in industries where women make up most of the workforce.
In Bangladesh, we are working directly with more than 50 garment factories to support their transition from cash to digital payroll, allowing workers to receive their wages instantly and transparently in formal bank accounts. As of mid-May, the program has contributed to new accounts and training for 150,000 workers, 65 percent of whom are women.
After going through the HERfinance training, women in India were 23 percent more likely to say they decided what to do with their salaries and 36 percent more likely to save a portion of their salaries in a formal bank account.
Here are some actions leading companies can take to promote financial inclusion:
- Provide financial capability training for all workers to have the knowledge, skills and attitudes to fully participate in the formal financial sector;
- Encourage suppliers to improve financial inclusion of workers, such as by enabling access to financial products and services or digitizing wage payments; and
- Collaborate with suppliers and other brands to advocate for broader financial inclusion of workers.
At our current pace, it will take 18 years for all women to be financially included, according to our calculations. We believe that women should not have to wait this long to fully participate in the formal financial sector. Now is the time for brands to help close the gender gap by ensuring that the female workers in their supply chains can reap the fruits of financial inclusion.

By Cheri Roberts of Challenging the Rhetoric and Cheri Speak
It seems we hear of a recall by a food or drug manufacturer weekly, but it's a rarer day when a big dog organization comes in and makes a confession. The World Health Organization (WHO) recently reclassified processed meats (bacon, lunch meat, hot dogs, sausages, etc.) as carcinogens. For decades the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved these, and other, foods as not harmful for Americans to ingest.
In a statement, Dr. Kurt Straif of the WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in Lyon, France said,
"For an individual, the risk of developing colorectal cancer because of their consumption of processed meat remains small, but this risk increases with the amount of meat consumed. In view of the large number of people who consume processed meat, the global impact on cancer incidence is of public health importance."
When tobacco companies got caught with their pants down there were massive lawsuits. Will people come forward and file suits against the authority on what is and is not OK for us to eat? And they still say Aspartame and GMO are just dandy. Eat up kiddies!
Shame on you FDA. Oops, you did it again! You are Challenging the Rhetoric's LIAR OF THE WEEK.

When a Dentist Needs a Dental Specialist…
You can be sure he or she is going to seek out the very best in their community, particularly when in need of an endodontist – a dental specialty calling for a great deal of skill, delicacy, and in-depth knowledge. That's actually what happened when Bakersfield dentist Dr. Peter Bae found himself in a great deal of pain thanks to a posterior molar gone wrong. Dr. Bae chose to visit Kern Dental Specialties and Dr. Harry Malhotra, and he was glad he did.
"I know how difficult certain root canal procedures can be," Dr. Bae told us, but the visit turned out to be an easy one, at least from the patient's very important point of view. "I was very numb and very comfortable throughout the procedure," This is crucial because, as most people are aware, endodontic procedures, more widely known as root canals, can be especially trying. However, when performed properly by an expert endodontist, a root canal is usually a surprisingly low-key experience. That's why Dr. Bae, and countless other satisfied patients from all walks of life enthusiastically recommend Dr. Maholtra and Kern Dental Specialties for both endodontia and other types of Bakersfield/Kern County and Taft dental work.
Aside from his proficiency with regular root canal procedures, Dr. Maholtra also frequently performs surgical endodontics (apicoectomy) procedures, which can be used to salvage teeth when ordinary procedures are not sufficient. In many cases when patients are suffering from intense pain or other issues, the doctor is also able to perform procedures on an emergency basis. The doctor also performs surgery involving dental implants in Bakersfield at his office.
If you are in need of an endodontic specialist in the Kern County/Bakersfield area, Dr. Maholtra and Kern Dental Specialties just may be your best bet. The doctor and his staff look forward to hearing from you.

Will Ethiopia Become a Model for an African Upswing?
By Alisa Kaps, Alexandra Reinig and Reiner Klingholz
Ethiopia is one of the world's least developed states. Yet for the past two decades the country has been making extraordinary progress. Targeted investment in health, education and employment has improved the standard of living and triggered a rapid decline in the fertility rate. If it succeeds in consolidating these achievements, Ethiopia could become one of the first sub-Saharan countries to benefit from a "demographic dividend" and demonstrate how development can work in Africa. Hopes are now pinned on the young prime minister, Abiy Ahmed, to introduce the necessary reforms and measures to break out of the vicious circle of poverty and rapid population growth. The study shows which factors have helped Ethiopia along its development path and which challenges it still needs to overcome in order to become a model country on the African continent.

If it seems like this area was swimming in milk in its farming years, it was. And all that milk had to go somewhere.
A number of the farmers who farmed the southern part of the township drove their milk to Roselle every day, day in and day out. The intent was to put it on the 8:30 milk train that ran from Roselle to Chicago.
A few weeks ago an article that was published as part of Roselle's 75th anniversary came into my hands from a former resident of Schaumburg Township. It is an account of the milk train written by Earl Crandall, who served as the Roselle station agent for 30 years, beginning in 1921. The article appears here just as it was written.
For more than a century, Roselle Road through Schaumburg and Bloomindale Townships was one of the main milk and cheese pipelines into Chicago. In the 1920s this rolling prairie section was one of the dairy centers between Chicago and Elgin. Schaumburg Township farmers brought their milk and cream to collecting and processing point along Roselle Road.
From those points dairy products – fluid milk, butter, and cheese – were transported down the road to the Village of Roselle and the Milwaukee Railroad from which a "milk train" made a daily round trip between Elgin and Chicago. In addition a considerable number of farmers brought their fresh milk directly to the train in Roselle and were direct shippers into the city.
Being Roselle station agent in this period was the most important job in Roselle measure in terms of area and number of people served. I took over the Roselle station job in 1921 and handled it for 30 years. During my first two decades as railroad agent, practically this entire commerce passed through my office.
One of my sharpest recollections was having to make out the shipment papers for all those German farmers in Schaumburg Township. I*t took me a long time to learn to spell those German names, such as Springingsgoth (sic).
During these years there were commuter trains through Roselle at 5:15 and 6:30 in the morning. Then the milk train came at 8:30. We had as many as 25 farmers from Schaumburg and Bloomingdale Townships, who brought their cans of milk each morning and left them on one of two platforms we had at the station.
The crew on the milk train would handle the transfer of the cans from the loading platform to the train. The milk train came back at 4 in the afternoon and unloaded the empty milk cans so the farmers could pick them up the next morning. This shows how times have changed. It's a good thing the farmers aren't doing that now. There wouldn't be any cans there in the morning.
But the farmers were only one means of moving milk from Schaumburg and Bloomingdale farms to Chicago. Nearly five miles north at the corner of Roselle and Higgins Roads (today this is in Hoffman Estates) stood the Nebel General Store and Creamery.
Farmers as far north as Palatine would bring in cream to Nebel and the creamery would make it into butter and cheese. Most of the butter was sold back to farmers in the area.
Several times a year I would get a shipment of 40 to 50 cases of cheese from up at Roselle and Higgins Roads. It was hauled by wagon to the Roselle station for shipment to Chicago.
Times are always changing, and during my years as Roselle station agent, I witnessed change. Farmers and companies in the Schaumburg Township agricultural complex were constantly striving to deliver a better product to Chicago in order to get better prices and protect their market. This also demonstrated how important our area was in milk production for Chicago.
At Schaumburg Center, situated at the intersection of Roselle and Schaumburg Roads, a milk plant was operated by Lake Zurich Milk Company. Its manager got a group of Schaumburg Township farmers interested in bringing their milk to Schaumburg Center so it could be cooled, put in large containers and moved by wagon down Roselle Road to the railroad siding at the Roselle station where an ice refrigerated car would be waiting.
Those milk wagons were always pulled by mules. Each morning there was usually two wagon loads of milk delivered to that refrigerated car and sometimes there would be a third wagon load of milk. The "iced car" would be brought out from Elgin on one of those early morning trains and put on our Roselle siding. After the mule wagons had delivered their cargo, the car would be pulled into Chicago.
The Schaumburg Township area continued to be a major supplier of milk products to Chicago market until after World War II and into the 1950s. However, before the war, the mule wagon ceased hauling milk to Roselle as new milk handling methods, hinged to electrical refrigeration at the farm with truck transportation to the city, came into general use.
Then the urbanization of the Schaumburg area began and today 30,000 people live there. Today, the world's largest indoor shopping center occupies the land that formerly supplied milk, butter and cheese to Chicago families.
While Mr. Crandall has long since passed away, the details in the article are marvelous and fill in a gap of our history in a substantial way. A belated thank you to Mr. Crandall!

The Sunny Side Up Ranch is a local egg farm located outside of West Burlington, IA. The farm started about three years ago when Lloyd and Karen Thola decided they wanted to do something different than their typical day jobs as a contractor and interior designer. Their past careers have helped them immensely with the start-up of their operation. Starting a farm isn't cheap or easy; especially with a self-sustaining farm like their own, without their previous skills it may have not been possible. Lloyd has been able to build equipment and renovate most of the buildings they currently use to thrive as egg producers. Lloyd has made his own incubator, egg drier, and waterer; as well as renovated and designed the housing for their flock. While visiting Sunny Side Up Ranch, we found that it was a common theme for these two caretakers to go out of their way for the chickens. To quote Lloyd, "If we take care of our chickens, they will continue to take care of us by producing high-quality eggs." This past winter they even went out of their way during an ice storm to bring a bunch of baby chickens inside to keep them warm so they wouldn't freeze during the negative degree weather.
Another great factor of their farm operation is their determination and willingness for continuous education on flock management. They are constantly striving to learn new information to improve their own farm and flock, for both the animals and the consumers. It was clear Karen and Lloyd have done their research to maximize the bird's wellbeing, production, and safety. The couple encourages people to come to visit and learn something new, as well as pick out your own homegrown eggs. When you come to Sunny Side Up Ranch you can expect to see over 100 chickens mainly of the Leghorns, Rhode Island Reds, and Easter Egger breeds. The average chicken on their farm lays about 5 eggs per week and their eggs sell for $2.50 per dozen. They also have five turkeys with 70 more coming soon, and about 280 laying ducks to add to the diverse production. The duck eggs are slightly more expensive, but only because each and every egg must be hand washed and therefore require more labor and care in the production process.
Click here for a video tour of Sunny Side Up Ranch
Sunny Side Up Ranch is looking to increase the number of eggs they are producing and have recently planted fruit trees with the hopes of selling apples, peaches, and cherries in the near future. Currently, you can expect Sunny Side Up Ranch to have about 180 eggs per day so be sure to check out their farm and claim your eggs before they're gone!

The dog lists are all abuzz with debate over the wisdom of Premier Products (purveyors of the Gentle Leader, Manners Minder, click sticks, and other dog-related products considered acceptable or admirable by most positive trainers) selling themselves to Radio Systems (purveyors of electronic fences and shock collars).
Some well-respected names in the dog training and dog biz are involved in this acquisition, and say that the merger will encourage Radio Systems to develop electronic devices for positive trainers, and thus push the agenda of positive training. I wish them luck, and I wish it were so, but the Manners Minder itself is the most applicable case in point.
Originally marketed as the Treat n Train through the Sharper Image catalog, it is a remote rewards device that was sold along with a DVD of how to use it to teach a dog to "go place" (i.e., lie down and stay in a specific location). It did not sell well. It went through a slightly modified version and still didn't sell well, and then went to Premier as the Manners Minder. Quite a few trainers have one of the old or new version -- I have one myself. But it never made anything like a wave as far as selling to the general public.
On the other hand, electronic fences and shock collars are wildly popular. I cringe at ads by a local radio host I thought knew better, enthusiastically promoting an electronic fence. I try to ignore the lovely display of shock collars when I visit the local Petco. Most of the pet supply catalogs I receive have a whole section of electronic devices such as shock collars, Scat Mats, electronic fences, bark breakers, all based in punishment. I'm sure they sell or they wouldn't continue to be carried by the catalogs.
I'm a realist. I understand that some people may have covenants that prohibit them from building actual solid fences, but still need some way to contain their dog. But I also know that as a species, humans tend to find punishment rewarding. Sound contradictory? It isn't. There have been a fair number of studies demonstrating that humans are quite willing to punish other beings, sometimes to a rather horrifying extent.
Don't people find rewarding other beings rewarding themselves? That seems to be a less common characteristic of our species. Add that to the often-expressed sentiment that the dog is "doing it for spite," and you've got a real tendency toward using and accepting punishment.
So do I think that Premier will change Radio Systems for the better? No. Do I wish them all the luck in the world with their efforts? Yes.
