Morgan McKinley
Audit & Accounting into General Practices in London & the South East
Do specific research on why you want to work for a particular firm. There are a multitude of jobs in Accountancy Practices and you will often find yourself with a number of interviews. Being able to ascertain why the firm you are meeting is of interest and how they can specifically help you develop will go a long way to helping you secure your ideal role.
Having graduated in 2011, I moved to London and have spent the last 8 years recruiting into the Public Practice Sector.
I built up and subsequently ran the Public Practice desk at a national recruitment company for over 5 years before joining Morgan McKinley in 2017. Over that time, I have worked with a wide range of mid-tier and boutique Accountancy firms in London and the South East, recruiting roles across accounts, outsourcing, audit & assurance and tax, from Assistant up to Director level. My recent focus has been on continuing to build the Morgan McKinley brand in the Public Practice sector and ensuring we are the go-to agency in London. If you need any assistance at all with your job search or require some information on the Public Practice market, please get in touch.
Last Thursday, the Morgan McKinley General Practice team hosted its inaugural salary & benefits seminar.
There were 57% more General Practice jobs registered throughout the opening months of this year compared to the end of 2017.
The top 50 + 50. Any practice recruiter worth their salt will have the date the list is released labelled as their favourite time of year (professionally speaking!).

…. So he was able at last to remove the child from its wrappings and bathe it, a girl, and to hold her. He'd never done such a thing before.
First he tried to feed her a tiny piece of the rabbit. She was too young to manage. He dripped water into her mouth, made sure it trickled down, but was perplexed at what to feed her, then alarmed when, after a night of deprivation, her tiny face crumpled in need. She peered at him in expectation and, at last, violently squalled. Her cries filled a vastness that nothing else could. They resounded, took over everything, and brought his heart clean to the surface. Scranton Roy cradled the baby, sang lewd camp tunes, then stalwart hymns, and at last remembered his own mother's lullabies. Nothing helped.
It seemed, when he held her close upon his heart as women did, that the child grew angry with longing and desperately clung, rooted with its mouth, roared in frustration, until at last, moved to near insanity, Roy opened his shirt and put her to his nipple.
She seized him. Inhaled him. Her suck was fierce. His whole body was astonished, most of all the inoffensive nipple he'd never noticed or appreciated until, in spite of the pain, it served to gain him peace. As he sat there, the child holding part of him in its mouth, he looked around just in case there should be any witness to this act which seemed to him strange as anything that had happened in this skyfilled land. Of course, there was only the dog. Contented, freed, it lolled appreciatively near. So the evening passed and then the night.
Scranton Roy was obliged to change nipples, the first one hurt so, and he fell asleep with the baby tucked beside him on his useless teat.
She was still there in the morning, stuck, though he pulled her off to slingshot a partridge, roasted that too, and smeared its grease on his two sore spots. That made her wild for him….
— excerpt from The Antelope Wife
[I figured I was all washed-up when I learned I was going to have another baby at forty-six. I thought, Oh, the hell with it. I'm never going to get out of this. But before she was born, I had all of this pent-up desperation and I wrote The Master Butchers Singing Club.
I'd always wanted to write that book….]

Departmental Research Projects
Streamlined Bedrock Terrain and Fast Ice Flow, Jakobshavns Isbrae, West Greenland: Implications for Ice Stream and Ice Sheet Dynamics
A research project of the Department of Geography.
This research project is led by Dr Dave Roberts in collaboration with other colleagues in the department (Prof Antony Long). The study investigates the marginal subglacial bedrock bedforms of Jakobshavns Isbrae, West Greenland, in order to examine the processes governing bedform evolution in ice stream and ice sheet areas, and to reconstruct the interplay between ice stream and ice sheet dynamics.
Recent reviews suggest that there are two principal types of modern ice streams, pure ice streams and isbraes, although these may actually represent the two end members of a continuum, as some ice streams have topographically controlled onset zones which are lost downstream beneath trunk zones (Stokes & Clark 2001; Truffer & Echelmeyer 2003). Pure ice streams are largely controlled by the presence of conditions conducive to rapid basal sliding (e.g. a deforming bed) and/or ice sheet self-regulation, whereas high ice flow velocities in isbraes are induced by the topographic drawdown of ice through over-deepened troughs.
Our knowledge of subglacial processes beneath ice streams is largely based on bore-hole investigations and remotely sensed seismic or aero-geophysical observations (e.g. Anandakrishnan et al. 1998; Bell et al. 1998), as direct observation of subglacial bedforms has been limited. Indeed, most of our understanding of ice stream subglacial processes has been deduced from palaeo-ice stream imprints, with soft-bedded, geomorphic evidence providing the major source of information (Stokes & Clark 1999; Canals et al. 2000; Lowe & Anderson 2002; Serup et al. 2003). In contrast to soft-bedded systems, the identification and understanding of 'rigid bed' bedforms produced through erosion beneath isbrae-type ice streams has been little studied. There are a number of reasons for this. Firstly, with the exception of Jakobshavns Isbrae, little contemporary work has been undertaken on subglacial environments beneath modern isbrae-type ice streams. The Rutford Ice Stream in Antarctica does lie in a subglacial trough, but it is underlain mainly by unconsolidated sediments (Smith 1997). Secondly, most palaeoenvironmental reconstructions of ice stream occurrence have been in areas where deforming bed mechanisms have been influential in controlling ice stream incidence, with drift bedform transitions holding the key to understanding ice stream behaviour (Clark & Stokes 2001). Thirdly, bedrock bedforms are challenging sources for palaeoglaciological data because they may be formed over multiple glaciations and because bedrock structure can influence bedform evolution.
Despite the limited work thus far, differences in bedform morphology can provide valuable information on a number of subglacial processes. For example, Evans (1996) used differences between roche moutonnees (RMs) and whalebacks (WBs) to reconstruct evidence for bed separation, which he used to infer slow versus fast ice flow within the Cordilleran ice sheet, British Columbia. Bedrock morphology has also been used to reconstruct contrasts in ice stream and ice sheet behaviour, and subglacial thermal conditions (Sugden et al. 1992; Hall & Glasser 2003; Jansson et al. 2003).
This research focuses on Jakobshavns Isbrae, the largest and fastest flowing isbrae-type ice stream in the northern hemisphere (Bindschadler 1984). It investigates controls on the formation of bedrock bedforms in isbrae and ice sheet areas by exploring the influence of ice thickness and flow velocity on bedform evolution. In addition, the differences in the mechanisms responsible for bedrock bedform development compared to drift bedforms are explored. The bedform assemblages are then used to investigate the relationships between basal conditions and ice stream motion. Finally, the bedform and ice flow direction evidence is used to explore the interplay between ice stream and ice sheet zones, both locally and regionally across Disko Bugt.
Bedform density is higher in ice stream areas and whalebacks are common. This is related to higher ice velocities and thicker ice which suppress bed separation. However, modification of whalebacks by plucking occurs during deglaciation due to ice thinning, flow deceleration, crevassing and fluctuations in basal water pressure.
The bedform evidence points to widespread basal sliding during past advances of Jakobshavns Isbrae. This was encouraged by increased basal temperatures and melting at depth, as well as the steep marginal gradients of Jakobshavns Isfjord which allowed rapid downslope evacuation of meltwater leading to strong ice/bedrock coupling and scouring. In contrast to soft-bedded ice stream bedforms, the occurrence of fixed basal perturbations and higher bed roughness in rigid bed settings prevents the basal ice subsole from maintaining a stable form which, coupled with secondary plucking, counteracts the development of bedforms with high elongation ratios.
Cross-cutting striae and double-plucked, rectilinear bedforms suggest that Jakobshavns Isbrae became partially unconfined during growth phases, causing localised diffluent flow and changes in ice sheet dynamics around Disko Bugt. It is likely that Disko Bugt harboured a convergent ice flow system during repeated glacial cycles, resulting in the formation of a large coalesced ice stream which reached the continental shelf edge.

Recently, Ian and Gus Wakeford from SLM visited the newly finished Sara Lee Therapy Centre in Sidley, Bexhill.
SLM Group started supporting the work of The Sara Lee Trust back in early 2016 and has been donating £1 for every car sold to the charity since then. We have also helped promote the amazing work of the Trust across further afield and to our customers. To date, SLM are very proud to have been involved in raising nearly £10,000 for the Trust.
Dan Redsull, Chief Executive Officer of The Sara Lee Trust talked about the importance of SLM's support, commenting: "We are immensely grateful for SLM's continued support. The additional funds have enabled us to widen our reach, helping more local people and families affected by cancer and other life threatening illnesses. Their promotion of our work has also helped, most importantly, raise awareness of our services and how to access our care. We are now caring for more people than ever and we thank SLM for their contribution to this.
"SLM have also supported the development of our new Therapy Care Centre in Sidley, Bexhill which will significantly improve access for local people as well as provide community based services in an area which has the highest level of need across East Sussex. Michael Lear, Trust Chairman and I were delighted to show Ian and Gus around the finished centre.
"We would like to thank SLM, its team and customers for their highly valued support and we look forward to meeting the longer term challenges on increasing and improving care for local people with their continued support".
Ian Wakeford, Managing Director at SLM, added: "Since opening it's doors in St Leonards back in 1960, SLM has spread it's wings somewhat over the South East and recently into East Anglia, but we never forget our roots and the people of 1066 country who have remained loyal to both us and the area. As virtually all of us will be touched by a serious illness at some stage, SLM could not think of a better way of putting back into the area that has supported us so well. A modest amount to assist The Sara Lee Trust - a charity dedicated to supporting those same loyal people in times when they are most needed."

12 Moments In S5E4 Of Switched At Birth That Inspired Us All
We don't even know where to begin...
1. When Daphne went to Professor Marillo after she saw the cotton balls on the lawn in front of the BSU.
She told Professor Marillo that, according to her friends, the cotton balls were not an isolated incident, and that action needed to be taken.
2. When Travis was working so hard to ensure he would be in good shape for regionals.
Although this just made it all the more devastating when John chose Chris as the starter.
3. When Professor Marillo admitted the medical department had been hasty in denying Daphne credit for the work she did in China.
How many people actually admit to making mistakes?
4. When Iris was not afraid to stand up to one of her best friends and tell her why she was wrong.
Standing up to your friends is a LOT harder than standing up to your enemies.
5. And then afterwards when Daphne confronted Professor Marillo about the incredibly loose punishment the cotton ballers received.
They couldn't prove intent?! It was all over the lawn!!!
6. When Iris decided to go on a hunger strike until the cotton ballers were expelled.
Daphne thought there were safer ways to go about it, but would they really make a difference? They hadn't so far.
7. When Kathryn stood up to that sleezy donor who was ALL over her.
8. And then when she stood up to the colleague who had told her to flirt with the donor.
PFFFFT. We'd like to see that guy be asked to put on a short dress to secure a deal. What a chump.
9. When Travis and Emmett rekindled their friendship.
Although then Travis spotted Emmett's tattoo and it all went horribly wrong. Our hearts were mended and broken all in the same second.
10. When Daphne told Sharee that the student who had threatened her had been expelled, but Sharee wasn't happy about it.
Well, she was happy that the student was expelled, but she was furious at the injustice of it all. He was expelled, but the cotton ballers were only suspended for three days? HOW is that fair?!
11. When Daphne went to Iris and explained that she would never understand what it's like to be her, but that she would like to offer her support.
And Iris let her join the protest!
12. When the protesters absolutely refused to move from the lawn until the cotton ballers were expelled.
By far the most inspiring moment of them all.

Review by Jay Snyder
No Depression Journal of Roots Music
"It's clear from the first track 'Blind' on J. Briozo's debut Deep in the Waves that the listener is not in for a traditional record. With progressive intentions and a dynamic swirl of sounds fronted by hymnal keyboards and FX-drenched guitar melodies, a strange psychedelic bent overtakes Briozo's music. The rhythms smolder like the dying embers of a long forgotten campfire as J's vocals are steeped in melodic majesty.
"Briozo is not actually the artist's real name. Jeff Crandall is the man behind the music heard on Deep in the Waves. Crandall's career is rooted in the work of Minneapolis-based band Swallows; a band that encompasses blues, rock, southern-fried Americana, folk, light psychedelia and an otherworldly sonic vibe. Jeff sang for the band but while getting ready to record Swallows' third LP, he decided to capture a set of songs that he'd been developing on his own. The results are nothing short of magical and transcend genre by throwing in everything including the kitchen sink.
"'Blind' is one of several tunes that is constructed around Crandall's hypnotic acoustic guitar and his moving, emotionally impactful vocals. The title track relishes the same elements but adds a stronger, stripped down backbeat, higher-register blues vocal howls, cello/viola and a sweeping compositional sense that constantly raises the volume in slight increments for distinct crescendos and climaxes. A tangible sense of band cohesion enters on 'Beautiful Mess' with electric guitar interjections (the solid leads are a highlight) and pocket 4/4 drumming with some nice snare fills coloring in the track's second half. The pop-song structure allows for noticeable verse/choruses transitions with Crandall's voice perfectly delivering the tune's signature hook.
"The hearty, down home cookin' during 'Spinning Out' includes lava hot guitar laid over foot-tapping blues grooves with reckless abandon and multi-part vocal harmonies that really stick to the ribs. Atmospheric organ enhances the fierce acoustic/electric guitar duels with as many as three 6-stringed axes sounding like they are duking it out all at once. This hammering rocker is brilliantly offset by 'Rain Song's' cascading acoustic guitars and cellos. Calling upon a lower register, Jeff really digs into the vocals here and gives a passionate performance that conjures up a song that's a pure winner; one of the album's best yet most downplayed tracks for certain. Boiling guitar riffs and a teetering balance of unplugged and amplified grooves sends 'The Big Parade' spiraling into a ferocious mid-tempo with gruff vocals and dirty lyrics the right fit for wrapping this cut up into a complete and total package.
"Things don't let up on the disc's second half either; 'Catalonia' reckons of an even bluesier, more countrified version of David Gilmour's solo work (the haunting background keys, expressive guitar licks and even Crandall's voice are dead-ringers for Gilmour's bewitching tunes), there's some alt-country influence a la Son Volt and 16 Horsepower on the trotting Western-kissed 'Las Cruces,' whereas 'Firefly' melds Jeff's Gilmour-esque vocals to acoustic ambience and symphonic touches heavy on the layered string-work ('Camera Obscura' and 'Santa Cruz' later on plunders the same atmosphere to emotional paydirt) 'Blue' goes for a Bob Dylan sort of turn and closer 'Sun Sun True' mixes Mason Dixon guitar rock with a Beach Boys' sort of approach to vocal harmonies.
"Deep in the Waves is a phenomenal debut for Jeff Crandall and his J. Briozo project. Based on the strength of this work alone, I was inspired to check out Swallows and immediately became a fan. This album deserves top honors and is not to be missed by music fans that enjoy works that are truly fresh and original."

For the past three years I have been writing, speaking and lecturing about narrative or "slow" journalism as one authetic and viable form of literary antidote to the bells and whistles of live feeds, multimedia storytelling and the cacophony that is today's media landscape. I see it not as an either or situation, but a both.
In my 2008 book, Everyman News, I wrote about the popularity of longer narrative in newspapers and magazines:
"News can be delievered more quickly to the audience by other media than by a newspaper in at least a hundred, perhaps a thousand ways. ..Narrative journalism is an attempt to make the newsworthy print stories more permanent or at the very least to have the stories so painstakingly reported and written last longer than a junk email before it hits the trash bin."
Today I read about the new British magazine,Delayed Gratification, debuting in January 2011 and celebrating what it calls "Slow Journalism" with the clever tagline, "Last to breaking news." From its premiere issue, the editors define the magazine's mission:
"Print is not dead. For all the wily charms of the digital world with its tweets, feeds, blogs and apps, there is still nothing like the pleasure created by ink on paper."
I hear a lot of people — mostly at cocktail parties– pontificating about the death of print media. Mostly they do not know what they are talking about, only quoting bloggers misquoting other people who speak third about unnamed sources who swear it is so.
It's a big informational universe, and a duality to the needs of a varied and fickle audience. Sometimes we like our information in real time. Sometimes we want to devour 10 videos of the crime scene or the rescue or the avalanche as it is happening. And sometimes we want to read 5,000 words in a glossy, thick magazine written by a superb phrasemaker about a theory of what happened 100 years ago and its impact on popular culture.
Sometimes we want to hit delete before we are finished reading the post. Sometimes we want to save the article and keep it on th enightstand for a couple of years.
There is room for it all. I tell that to my students at the Medill School of Journalism. And I remind myself of this as I tweet, blog, polish a magazine article or fix up a chapter in an upcoming book of 95,000 words.
Journalism can be fast. And sometimes it is not best to be first.
Journalism can be slow. Sometimes it is best to be the most thoughtful.
A combination of the two, thank you, dear Goldilocks, is journalism that is just right.

Motivation Monday: Summing Up June Goals
So, in the beginning of June I laid out my goals for the month. Which, was a big step considering I got off track for a few months (which is probably to norm for me). The good news is that I feel I did ok for the month. No big stellar steps taken, but baby steps are there.
My goals for June were:
Writing: Most of my time has been spent with writing or working at IDG, I want to get back to blogging here, on my personal blog at least once a week. I am working on a weekly calendar to keep my time divided for everything I need to do.
One of my goals is to write a book on one of my families this year, I have not started that at this point. But, it is still something I want to do. It might move to be a goal for next year. Jen Holik told me that I needed to read Sharan DeBartolo Carmack's book, You Can Write Your Family History. I need to get a copy and move from there.
I have started a book project and have the chapters I want already in place, plus a few of the chapters have been started on. I need to put this in my weekly calendar so that I can move the project forward.
For the month of June, I wrote 4 posts for this blog. I also wrote 2 articles for my Examiner Column, an article for Irish Times Remembered and posted to my photo blog 2x (no writing there, lol).
So, I feel that I did very well this month with writing. Next month, I will be launching a new blog related to travel and photography and will probably spend a lot of time on that. I also have plans to redo this website in the very near future, so writing might be in the back seat for now as I plan all of the changes I am going to be making.
Organization: This seems to be the area that will never be complete! Just this past week I cleaned my desk off again. I made some file folders and got many things filed, now I just need to get a file box for all of them. I also still need to go through all of my family files and get them cleaned up and organized. I also might put together some files for the places I am researching to keep up on the history of that specific area (thanks to Pat Biallas of Geneajourneys for this great idea).
The good news here is that I went through a large pile of genealogy related papers and have them all filed (I still need a file cabinet for them) in folders. I need to go through the ones that are in a file box and make sure I have the files set up the way I did the new ones. The exciting part of this is, I have all of my records together that need to be transcribed. I figured it best to keep them away from the folder they belong in until I get this completed. I seem to work better when I have the certain steps I need to do completely mapped out in writing (or by different folders). So, I hope to move on that sometime this year.
Education: I am into month 4 (I believe) of ProGen 15. So far, I am loving the opportunity to have monthly discussions with my peer group. Second best is going over everyone's assignments. Personally, I am a visual learner and I tend to learn more by looking at everyone's assignment rather than the reading. I am trying to stay ahead on this, but it seems that I usually get my assignment in just in the nick of time. Need to get ahead of this, that way I can have the rest of the month to work on everything else.
ProGen goes well, still getting the assignment in within the last two days or so. But, the important part is that I am still in the game and working towards this. This is a long program to commit to and there are times when I ask myself why I did this and then I remember that it is to make me a better genealogist and to really take a look at the business aspect of genealogy. I am not 100% sure if I plan to be a for hire researcher, but if I do, I am prepared.
As for July, I am not setting any goals for the month. Personally, I have way too much going on for the month to try to commit to doing anything that needs to be done.
Also, I cannot believe it is July already. 2012 is going fast!!!
How did you do in the month of June with your goals?
Finding Ireland in Irish Lives Remembered
Today is a big day for me. A few weeks back, I received an email asking me if I would like to contribute to a new digi mag based on Irish research. I was super excited and honored to be asked to write for something that I was not a part of and for someone who I did not know.
I have written for myself on this blog a few years, I write over at The In-Depth Genealogist now and then and usually I have a monthly column as well. But, for someone to reach out and ask me to write about my Irish ancestors and my research, that truly touched me. So, I took a few days and compiled some of my posts here what information I have and wrote my article, which I titled Finding Ireland and sent it in to Irish Lives Remembered.
Today while reading my email, I read through my Y-IRL list and was excited to see that someone shared a new Irish digital magazine. Yep, for Irish Lives Remembered. I was super excited to see my words in print. So, while I was at a stop light I clicked through and found my article. Yay! It looked absolutely beautiful. The whole magazine does.
This month there is a 24 page section on Cork, which includes Irish genealogy resources. Those researching Irish ancestors can understand that any place that lists resources for your Irish ancestors, is a good thing to read. I cannot wait to dig into this.
Thanks again to Eileen, for asking me to write about my Irish ancestors and research. I was truly honored to do so.
To read the Irish Lives Remembered Magazine, click here. Make sure to read pages 37 – 39 for my article, Finding Ireland.
This Weeks Mystery Has Been Solved
Earlier in the week, I wrote a post about things I learned in the 1940 Census on my great-great uncle, John O'Connell. You can read the original post here. It seems for a few years, he owned a restaurant in Hudson Falls, NY and I wanted to find out the name and see if said restaurant was still open. Thanks to my friend Terri on Facebook, I know have the information.
Last night, Terri was kind enough to post on my Facebook wall that she had found the name of the restaurant and she also left me a link to where she found the information on Ancestry.
Here is a cropped version of the record.
Twin Acres was the name of his restaurant. I googled it and did not find a listing for it. I will however be setting an alert on Ebay to see if I can find anything there.
The next question is, who is the Mary listed under John? John had a sister Mary who married three different times. Could this be her, between husbands?
Thanks to Terri and all my friends on FB who take the time out to help each other with all the genealogy questions. If you are not on Facebook, I highly recommend any genealogist to open an account. It is a great way to network and get help with your research when you hit a block!
What Were your Ancestors Doing in 1940
With the release of the 1940 Census in April, most genealogists have been spending time mining the census for any information they can find on their family. We have spent many hours trying to locate each ancestor to see how they were living in 1940, how did the depression affect them?
I was excited this week when I found my great-great uncle John O'Connell in the 1940 Census (thanks to all who indexed the state of New York, I found this with a shaking leaf on Ancestry.com). Not only was he still living with his wife, they also had a boarder.
John's wife Beatrice was a music teacher and worked all 52 weeks of the year. how exciting to read that, given the times and how tight money was, I am amazed that she still had work. According to the census information, she worked for a private company. So, she could have been self employed or worked for a company. She did not work for the public schools. She worked 8 hours per week. But, the important piece is that she is working.
John was lucky too! He worked all 52 weeks at a restaurant, that he owned at about 70 hours per week.
John's lived at 61 Sherman Ave. and his home was valued at $6,000 which is not so bad, it could definitely have been worse.
I would like to find out what restaurant John owned. I have already looked through the directory records on Ancestry and have not found any information on the restaurant. The only information that was given pertained to John, himself.
This tells me that John and Beatrice lived in a house at 61 Sherman Ave (same place as 1940 Census). John had business (bus) and it was in Hudson Falls (HF). I was able to determine the HF = Hudson Falls because another listing showed someone employed (emp) in Schndy (Schenectady).
So, do you have any thoughts how we can figure out what restaurant John owned? At this point, I have not looked at deeds or probate records for him.
*As a side not, I do know that by 1942 John was employed by Luzerne Villa from the US City Directory.*
NY State Census Records
Last week, Ancestry released the New York State Census records for 1892, 1915 and 1925. I had already looked through the 1892 on Family Search and have that document saved on my hard drive, but I was excited to add it to my online family tree, finally.
My hard to research, Irish, O'Connell line was in NY for many years and I was excited to be able to look at them through these newly available records. The most important thing I learned is that my great-great grandfather, John O'Connell told the census taker in 1925 that he was naturalized in Rutland, VT in 1874! I am excited to have another tidbit of his life and hope to be able to find the record.
Of course, with a name like John O'Connell it will probably take forever to flush him out!
Have you had any recent luck with new records online? Please share your stories!
Motivation Monday: June Goals
Here we are, the middle of 2012. How fast time flies. This year has been busier than I expected and because of this, I had to take a minor break from my genealogy goals. I have been busy in the genealogy world with The In-Depth Genealogist (IDG) and the planning for all we want to do there. But, I digress. The In-Depth Genealogist has nothing to do with what I want to do here on my personal blog and in my genealogy research.
June Goals:
Writing: Most of my time has been spent with writing or working at IDG, I want to get back to blogging here, on my personal blog at least once a week. I am working on a weekly calendar to keep my time divided for everything I need to do.
One of my goals is to write a book on one of my families this year, I have not started that at this point. But, it is still something I want to do. It might move to be a goal for next year. Jen Holik told me that I needed to read Sharan DeBartolo Carmack's book, You Can Write Your Family History. I need to get a copy and move from there.
I have started a book project and have the chapters I want already in place, plus a few of the chapters have been started on. I need to put this in my weekly calendar so that I can move the project forward.
Organization: This seems to be the area that will never be complete! Just this past week I cleaned my desk off again. I made some file folders and got many things filed, now I just need to get a file box for all of them. I also still need to go through all of my family files and get them cleaned up and organized. I also might put together some files for the places I am researching to keep up on the history of that specific area (thanks to Pat Biallas of Geneajourneys for this great idea).
Education: I am into month 4 (I believe) of ProGen 15. So far, I am loving the opportunity to have monthly discussions with my peer group. Second best is going over everyone's assignments. Personally, I am a visual learner and I tend to learn more by looking at everyone's assignment rather than the reading. I am trying to stay ahead on this, but it seems that I usually get my assignment in just in the nick of time. Need to get ahead of this, that way I can have the rest of the month to work on everything else.
Where are you with your goals for the year?
Amanuensis Monday: Wilhelm Jonas Naturalization Record
United States of America
State of Illinois,
Cook County
Pleas, before the honorable EW Burke one of the Judges of the Circuit Court of Cook County, at a term thereof begun and held at Chicago, in said county and state, on the third Monday (being the 15th day) of October in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred 4and the Independence of the United States the one hundred 19th.
Present, Honorable EW Burke one of the Judges of the Circuit Court of Cook County.
Jacob J. Kern States Attorney,
James H. Gilbert Sheriff.
Attest Frank J Gaulter clerk,
On the 23d day of October A.D. 1894, being one of the days aforesaid, came Wilhelm Jonas an alien, into court, and applied to be admitted as a naturalized citizen of the United States, and it having appeared to the satisfaction of the Court that the said applicant has resided within the limits and under the jurisdiction of the United States, for and during the full term of five years last past, and one year and upward immediately proceeding date hereof, in the State of Illinois, and that during said term of five years he has sustained a good moral character, and appeared to be attached to to the principle contained in the Constitution of the United States, as well disposed to the good order, well being, and happiness of the same, and two years and upwards have elapsed since the said applicant filed the declaration of his intention to become a citizen of the United States, according to the provisions of the several Acts of Congress heretofore passed on that subject; and he having now here, in open Court, taken and subscribed the oath required by those laws to support the Constitution of the United States, and to renounce and abjure all allegiances and fidelity to every foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty whatever, and more particularly all allegiance which he may in anywise owe to Emperor of Germany whereof he was heretofore a subject.
It is Therefore Ordered and Adjudge, by the Court, that the said Wilhelm Jonas be, and he is hereby admitted to all and singular the rights, privileges and immunities of a naturalized citizen of the United States, and that the same be certified by the Clerk of this Court, under the seal of said Court accordingly.
My Afternoon at The Archives
Today, I took some time out of my busy day to actually do bit of researching for my Jonas line. One of my goals is to NBC able to prove/disprove is Wilhem Jonas (my great-great grandfather) is related to Johann Jonas (who lived in the same general area and who's children share the names of Wilhelm's).
A few months back, I found the index record for both of their naturalization records on ancestry.com. At that time, I printed each index out knowing I would go to find their actual paperwork at IRAD. This morning, I decided today was that day. After I found the print outs of the index, I grabbed a quick lunch and set out on my mission.
Once I got to IRAD and requested my film, I sat and searched through the first roll of film. I was so upset because the index told me exactly what page I should find the record on and it was no there. I rewound the film, set it to the side and moved on tithe next roll. This roll was supposed to hold the record for Johann Wilhelm's, I went to the page it listed and did not find him. I scrolled through every book that was on this roll and found zilch! I was disappointed, to say the least.
I went back to the desk and spoke with the lady that was kind enough to assist me. We again looked at my ancestry index print out and decided we would try another volume. The index showed it should be volume 76 and I had already been through 73-76 and found nothing. So, looking at the printout, I suggested we try 78. The 8 could easily have been mistaken for a 6.
While the lady looked for that roll of film, I went back to my first roll to see if Wilhelm' would make an appearance. When I first started rolling through the film, I did not understand that there were multiple books on a film. I quickly went to the second book and then rolled forward to get to the correct page number, and there he was, Wilhelm's Jonas! I was so excited. I printed off the paperwork and got ready for the next roll.
Searching roll number 3, I was able to easily locate Johann Jonas. I printed his information and moved forward. I wanted to find the intent and petition paperwork as well.
In order to find the intent and petition paperwork, I needed to look at a tool that is a handwritten, alphabetized book that has been filmed. Not an easy task! After about 15 minutes, I had to give up because I needed to get to school to pick up my daughter. So, I asked the nice lady if they can pull the rest of the paperwork for me and mail it to me. She said that she would handle it for me.
I love the way that IRAD handles things for upon. They will search for me, free of charge, and print everything out. When they mail it to me, there will be a bill for printing fees. $1 for the first page and .20 for each additional page. Not too shabby if you ask me. The only real problem I the amount of time it will take. Which is usually 4 – 6 weeks.
But, to get this paperwork, I will wait patiently. I have many other records waiting for me to transcribe them. I need to get to work, soon!
What Have I Been Up To
Since I have not been blogging here lately, I thought I would take some time to explain what I have been up to in the past few weeks. Hoping that all of my readers will understand why I have been very quiet here and on my Finding Our Ancestors Facebook page.
To start off with, I have started a new project with my closest genealogy friends; Stephanie Fishman (also my genea buddy) and Jen Holik. In the past month, we have been spending most of our free time over at The In-Depth Genealogist. Which started a digi mag for all genealogists. It now is a digi-mag with its own website, facebook page and twitter account. This idea came to us one day and has been growing very fast. We are ever thankful to all of our friends, family and genealogy community for helping us grow so quickly. We have many great things planned for IDG and hope that you will follow us on this journey.
I am also three and a half months into the 18 month ProGen15 course. Last month, we had to create a research plan for our research. I chose to do mine on my German, Jonas line. I have spent so much time this past year researching this family, it only seemed fitting to create a research plan on the family. As an FYI, I had many small research plans on this family already created, I have many questions that I am trying to answer and to do this, I knew I needed to narrow the information down and focus. But, to put something together that my peers would be critiquing scared the crap out of me. I guess it is like a big case of stage freight. Would they think I had no clue what I was doing? Would they think I did not belong amongst them? These are the crazy questions that went through my head as I put this assignment off. But, on the very last day, I pulled myself together (thanks to the insistance of my genea buddy, Stephanie) and got to work. What I came up with was crazy, since I waited so long to do this! I spent three hours, pulling information from each source and creating a research plan, in the form of a timeline. By doing this, I was able to see that I had some conflicting information and would need to search for more primary sources to find the truth to the conflicting information. Mind you, none of the conflicting information had to do with what I was searching for. My research plan is to help me find the parents of Wilhelm / William Jonas. With this timeline, I added dates of that were given in each source and what it told me about Wilhelm / William. Then, I went back and sourced everything I could. The sourcing is what took most of my time on this assignment, which I am glad I did. Otherwise, I probably would have overlooked the conflicting information and where that information came from. Click the following link to view my research plan, Research Plan – Terri O'Connell. By the way, I worried about nothing. I got great feedback from my peers!
I also just finished reading Hey, America, Your Roots Are Showing by Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak. All I can say is if you have not read it. Please, put it on your to do list. It was definitely worth it!
Also, I have been watching all of the great genealogy tv shows currently airing, Who Do You Think You Are? which airs Friday's at 7pm CST on NBC and Finding Your Roots which airs on Sunday at 7pm on PBS. I absolutely love genealogy on tv. I have just put a request in to hold African American Lives so that I can watch Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr.'s older shows that I missed when they first aired. Hope to go and pick it up today.
Watching any of these shows, I watch for some sort of glimpse into the past of my ancestors, be it the same period of time, same place or, if I am lucky enough a common ancestor (so far nothing on my direct line, but maybe a hit on the hubby's). Please support genealogy on tv, we need to keep the ratings up so that it gets renewed for another season. WDYTYA? will be digging deep into the southern roots of Paula Deen next week. Personally, I cannot wait! Paula reminds me so much of my Grandma Richmond (last face it, its the southern drawl). I will definitely be in front of the tv for this episode.
WDYTYA? And Family Connections
On 4 May 2012 Who Do You Think You Are? invited us in to share the genealogy of Rashida Jones. To be honest, I did not know much about her or her family. As I googled away to see what I could find out, I was surprised to see that she was daughter of Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton. After doing a bit more digging, I read that Quincy had already been looking into his genealogy and was featured in one of Dr. Henry Louis Gates, Jr.'s shows on PBS.
What really excited me was the connection Quincy Jones has to George Washington because the General appears in my darling hubby's tree as well. I was so excited to see what the connection really is and how they all fit together.
I should have known that they would focus on Rashida's maternal line. Specifically, Peggy Lipton's mothers line. Nothing on Quincy's family because it had been researched already. The information that was given to Rashida was very in-depth, bringing her family right into the middle of WWII.
As always, the show was put together to bring out every emotion they can. From the family they are investigating to the person watching the show. I am sure that many tears had been shed.
For me, I need to go and search for Dr. Gate's other productions to find the one with Quincy Jones. Once I am able to watch that, I will be blogging about it.
Have you had a connection made through watching Who Do You Think You Are? Please share with us what family finds you have made watching these shows on television.

Shaving your head allows for hair to grow back stronger and thicker. I am unsure where this one came from; however, there is ZERO truth to this. Wearing Hats/Helmets DO NOT cause hair loss. Wearing a hat or helmet will not cause hair loss. Take a look at any professional hockey team and you will see a lot of the players all have full heads of hair while other's do not. If this were true every hockey player would be bald. If you're mother's dad is bald you will be bald as well. Hair loss does not come from one parent's side or another. Hair loss can come from either side or even both sides. Drinking tap water causes hair loss. I get this one quite often from people who immigrate here and there seems to be this rumour that drinking tap water will cause hair loss. There is no truth to this statement.
Things that CAN cause hair loss:
1) Radical increase or decrease in weight can trigger hair loss
2) EXTREME stress such as death in a family or a very traumatic experience. Studying for an exam will not cause it.
3) It is possible that if you are Vegan you may experience hair loss.

New Guard is a setting for Mouse Guard/Burning Wheel. Ten minutes into the future, the New Guard, a secret paragovernmental organization, defuses terrorist threats on and off the internet. The motives and goals of the guard are just as mysterious as its enemies', however; basic agents know little to nothing about the organization.
The Secret
Most high ranking government officials do not even know the New Guard exists. Individuals are classified in the Guards' files by how much they know about the guard:
0:Not aware of the Guard or level 2 terrorist organizations.
1:Aware that the New Guard exists.
2:Has had a brush with the Guard.
3:Knows about the Guard's organizational structure, and the way missions are assigned.
4:Knows the names of 1 or more Guard Coordinator.
5:Has knowledge about the Guard on level with a Coordinator.
6:Knows who the leader(s) of the guard are.
A:Should not know about the Guard.
B:Should not know about the Guard, but are not marked for clean up.
C:Acceptable level 1-3 knowledge about the Guard.
D:Acceptable level 1-4 knowledge about the Guard.
1As are often marked for clean up by Guard members.
Missions related to nonguard targets level 5-7 are not given to Members.
Guard Rank:Description
Uninitiated:Person meets qualifications/attributes for Guard induction.
Member:Person is a functioning Guard member, and is assigned missions.
Coordinator:Person is a functioning Guard member, and assigns missions over an area.
Supercoordinator:Person is a functioning Guard member, and manages Coordinators in a larger area.
Lower ranked members never know the identities of higher ranked officials except in exceedingly unusual circumstances.
Sync replaces Nature, and rates how in-tune a GM is with his implants.
A Sync grade of 0 means a Guard Member has succumbed to Implant Rejection. (See: Disease)
A Sync grade of 7 means a Guard Member has succumbed to Hypercyberization Sickness.
Guard Members from rank Member to Supercoordinator have three primary implants:
1. Hyperprocessor
The hyperprocessor is an attachment that extends the basic functions of the human brain; allowing it to handle the complex information found while interfacing with computers. The hyperprocessor does not replace the brain's functions, but merely applies them to new tasks: for example, a human with a hyperprocessor and a network connection can quickly find the name of someone in a picture from only their face, or set aside the task of doing complicated math while focusing on acting and decision making normally.
2. Human-Objective Interface
The HOI, also known as the 'neckplant', consists of two I-Ports and one E-Port surgically added to the back of a GM's neck. The ports are generally covered with false skin. I-Ports can be used to interface safely with computers, while the E-Port can be used as an I-Port, but it functions more slowly as its security is much more complicated. The purpose of the E-Port is to receive missions, let a Guard surgeon perform diagnostics, or to have a private wire interface with another Guard Member. (Conversations over an E-Port connection are impossible to monitor.) Using the E-Port for mundane tasks is frowned upon, because of how important its integrity is.
3. Organ Augmentation
The OA is a tiny subsystem that connects the hyperprocessor to the rest of the body's functions for metabolization monitoring and keeping track of other bioinformatics. Organ Augmentations can be used to 'overcharge' the body and perform superhuman physical tasks.

What always struck me as confusing is the way that people reacted to Pamela Voorhees being revealed as the killer in the original Friday the 13th film as being so shocking. Last semester I took a collegiate level horror film analysis course and this situation was brought to our attention. The class was asked "who thought the killer was going to be a woman" and I was the only one who raised their hand. When you really look at it, Pamela Voorhees' tactics throughout the film gave away her gender from the very beginning. From the get go, camp counselor Annie needs to hitch a ride to the camp and hops a ride with an unseen driver in a jeep. Right away, the fact she gets in the car and is so friendly to the driver makes me believe the driver is a woman. I'm sorry, I will be gender biased here on this one, I would wait two hours before I would (as a young woman) get in a car with a strange man. Maybe that makes me a misandrist, but so be it. I would trust a sweet old lady in a cable knit sweater before I'd trust some big dude. Not only that, but instead of just slash and dashing up her victims, Mama Voorhees was very calculated. She even went as far as impersonating the voice of a child in order to lure out one of her victims, knowing that she wouldn't be able to ignore a crying child. That's a woman move, right there.
Strangely enough, these attributes seem to be solely attached to women in horror films rather than any other genre. For example, if we take a look at Disney films, another genre notorious for having female villains, their representation is dramatically different. Although the concept of the female villain being far more intelligent than their male counterparts staying the same, the major difference is that Disney female villains require assistance. Granted, their assistants are usually bumbling, foolish, men, but they still require assistance nonetheless. Whereas in horror films, female villains are relentless and just as capable of extreme violence as their male comrades...but in a far sneakier way. This isn't a criticism of the female strength in any way, shape, or form, this is merely an observation of the different ways the sexes earn their power. There's a reason men in high school just beat the snot out of each other and girls will spread rumors and psychologically torture their victims. We think differently, and that is okay! By taking a closer look at the tactics of unmasked killers, we can always determine whether or not we're dealing with a man or a woman.

Planned Giving
It's Why You Started To Fly
Do you recall the first time that you touched down on a grass airstrip? Perhaps it was where you learned to fly or maybe it was somewhere later in your flight training. The wheels lightly touched on the dew covered grass, there was no screech, and very little, if any, bounce. It may just have been the best landing you recall making. We bet the smile that found its way to your face back then, is still there today. In fact the experience was so good that you were excited to do it again, but before departure you unloaded your gear, put on your hiking shoes and headed off to explore this special place. It is not your typical airport that you are used to. There is no control tower, no departing airlines to wait for, and the hold short line is the large bush at the entrance to the only active runway.
You're ready to leave and for the first time and you now understand the laborious calculations your flight instructor had you making as you look at those real live 50' trees at the end of the runway . No longer a line drawing in your training manual as they await your departure. This will really be fun you tell yourself. Planned giving means different things to different people, but what we hope it means to you, is the recognition that the core mission of the RAF is to protect these very special places. We appreciate that you might consider some level of a planned gift to the RAF. It will be these kinds of contributions to the RAFthat will provide long term lasting value to future aviators. Your gift, whether it is a cash contribution thru your will, a life insurance policy, a piece of real estate or an appreciated stock portfolio will provide the kind of secure funds that the RAF needs to assure that those special experiences continue to be available to pilots of the future. As said by one of our founding benefactors, "It will probably take 1000 of us to save it for one". Please help us by being one of the 1000.
The RAF is ready to assist you and your planning team where needed to match your desires to the RAF's needs. We respect the fact that you have worked hard, saved your money and may have some left over that could be directed to the RAF. It is this match of your dollars and our shared passion of recreational aviation, mixed in with a commitment by the RAF to do our best for you that will put a smile on our mutual faces.
Perhaps the question you now find yourself asking is "Will the RAF be here in the future?" Our answer is "Yes it will". You and so many others have told us that this experience is worth saving. With your help the RAF knows there will be an airplane on a grass strip with laughter and a campfire in the background. Your contribution will allow someone a place to experience a part of aviation that we know you found unique. Because of your memory of that special experience as well as your passion for it; you have, thru the RAF, the opportunity to create a legacy like none other.
Contact us at email@example.com
Your contribution will be greatly appreciated.

Posted by Mike Dwyer on August 25, 2009
Last week I was fortunate enough to be asked to speak at the first Chicago Social Media Breakfast. SMB has been in existence in other cities since 2007 but this was the first one in here in the Windy City. The event was separated into different groups with specific topics to discuss. My group was focused on social media and personal branding in regards to the job search and career advancement.
As marketers we are seeing a wholesale change in how companies engage in communication with their clients and consumers. In addition, the ways we as individuals communicate are also changing dramatically. I think for the most part marketers (especially in the last year) are really starting to grasp the enormous changes going on within their space.
What has continued to be a struggle for people is telling the difference between "blowing your horn" in regards to your talents/expertise and "communicating your passion" to a wider audience than your existing personal/professional network. The ability to help people and in turn receive recommendation has never been more important. It's a very organic way of self development which also can help you gain recognition and ultimately a new job, a promotion or new business for your organization.
My Top 5 Takeaways from our group discussions were:
- "The golden rule" treat others the way you would like to be treated. This will ultimately be something that will come back around to you.
- When networking on LinkedIn or other sites don't "ask for a job" use the tools available to create awareness for your expertise to gain a larger network of targeted individuals for potential career placement and/or advancement.
- Use social media to create an integrated marketing campaign around a helpful blog post you have written (become a resource). This is a post I wrote describing an initiative I created here at Paladin: Paladins Marketing Ninja guide: The 30 Minute Challenge
- Don't close yourself off to just blogging, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. One of the attendees was discussing his use of Tumblr, something I am going to attempt to utilize.
- Nothing replaces face to face contact. Definitely get out from behind your computer and regularly get out to coffee meetings, association evening events and luncheons. This is a post I wrote regarding networking events in Chicago: Paladins Galaxy Guide to Networking in Chicago
We are all hearing the constant chatter (no pun intended) around social media. Some of the discussions are valid and some of are based upon lack of understanding and experience. My recommendation is to continue to share openly with each other and pay it forward. It's a great community we have here in Chicago and I'm excited to attend future Social Media Breakfasts!

June 2013 was not a good month for secular democracy in Turkey!
The United States was founded 237 years ago by group genius, by the likes of Jefferson, Franklin, Adams, Madison… all children of the Enlightenment, along with one military hero who became the symbolic "Father of the Nation." In distinction the modern Turkish Republic was established 90 years ago, resurrected from the ashes of the Ottoman Empire, by a single genius, Kemal Ataturk. After proving himself invincible as a military tactician, Ataturk launched a plethora of Western-style reforms, including the equality of genders and secular governance. In psychiatrist Arnold Ludwig's monumental book, King of the Mountain: The Nature of Political Leadership, he stands at the pinnacle of all the national leaders of the 20th century. For most Turkish Nationals, Ataturk incorporated all the assets of the gifted group that had created the United States. In the closing days of the 20th century, when the editors of Time Magazine asked its readers to nominate the "Individual of the 20th century," they were so inundated by Ataturk nominations that they had to close off the nomination process. (The choice of the editors was Albert Einstein, a symbol for the "Century of Science.")
An unfortunate, but necessary provision in the constitution that Ataturk authored was the charge to the Army with having to serve as the guarantor of the constitution and of the secular nature of the nation. The series of blogs I've written for National Geographic Newswatch, include the following about Ataturk:
• "Einstein's Letter to Ataturk's Turkey"
• "Einstein and Ataturk (Part I)"
• "Remembering Gallipoli I: Anzac Day 2011"
Although it was an imperfect democracy, Ataturk's secular and Western-leaning Republic of Turkey represented a system infinitely superior to the one that has followed it in the past eleven years. Beginning in 2002 the newly elected AK Party immediately began the systematic dismantling of Ataturk's reforms. Initially, Europe and America both saw Prime Minister Erdogan as a fresh face, a moderate Islamic leader in the sea of fundamentalists threatening to take power in the Middle East and North Africa. Western media and Western politicians have given Erdogan a pass that has allowed him greater room to maneuver. They failed to heed his words: "The 21st Century will see the Islamic Nation gain its premier position in the world." In the last 2-3 years Mr. Erdogan's Counter-Reformation has been accelerating. Speculations that he is establishing an Iranian-style Islamic Government, however, are only partially correct. The Parliament that he controls is on course to convert the Parliamentary System to a Presidency, not unlike the Russian-style Presidency à la Putin. Many, however, speculate that he ultimately seeks to reconstitute the ancient Ottoman Empire, a caliphate ruled by Sharia Law—and to crown himself the next Sultan.
On May 31, 2013 Turkish youth occupied Gezi Park next to Taksim Square. The government had announced plans to demolish the park and in its place to build an Ottoman Era Army Barracks and Museum, an adjoining shopping mall, and a mosque. To the young people this was the last straw. They were there not just to protest the bulldozing of a park. The destruction of a park in the urban center of Istanbul, after all, was no more significant than the bulldozing of Central Park in New York to create additional commercial property. Mr. Erdogan and his government were guilty of the systematic destruction of secular democracy.

Address: 4 Pleasantdale Road
Personal: Married to retired Rutland Police Chief Ralph Anderson Jr.; two children, Kathleen Cousineau and Todd Anderson of Rutland, five grandchildren; 46-year resident
Profession: Tax specialist with HR Block; wrote for the Worcester Telegram, Barre Gazette and other publications and published the Country Corner News and Rutland Spy
Education: Graduate of Commerce High School; college-level courses
Civic/Muncipal: Serves on Southern Worcester County District Regional Vocational School Committee; served on Rutland Cemetery Commission, Rutland Historical Commission, Rutland Historical District Study Committee, Rutland Heights Land Use Committee, Rutland Bicentennial Committee and other committees; author of "Images of America: Rutland"; tapes meetings that air on Charter Access TV Channel 11; Web site RutlandSpy.com where she posts town warrants and explanations of the articles
1. Both school committees Wachusett and Bay Path] and town officials are working to meet the funding required per student and other dictates of the state. Most of these dictates are not funded by the state and both boards are seeking local dollars to meet the needs of the towns and the schools. More and more of the available funds are needed for the schools leaving less and less for the running of the towns. Both the school committees and town officials should be lauded for the work they put into trying to find a feasible solution to meet the needs of schools, the dictates of the state which now include school design, and the needs of town departments.
A possible solution that could be considered is to transfer the funding of the schools to the state to totally fund equitably, which was the dictate of education reform. Equalized education for all is the byword of the Education Reform Act. This could be possible by increasing the sales tax and directing these funds for education. Everyone would be paying for education without increases in real estate taxes. This would also free up monies to fund the town departments and other needs of the town departments that are also experiencing unfunded mandates and increased demands for services.
2. Ten years from now I would like to see budgets written within the levy limit and our debt as low as possible, a healthy stabilization fund and borrowing done by state guidelines. I could also see impact fees as part of our requirements for new building and I could see the development of Rutland Heights to include a nursing home and assisted living facilities, creating jobs for many in the town. I would also like to see a clinic included in the Heights and other business development in the town. I would like to see the water and sewer department separated from the DPW and overseen by a committee, not the selectmen. The water department is operated under an enterprise account and even now users are experiencing bills as high as second mortgages. The costs, such as building a temporary water tank and replacing the standpipe, water treatment plant improvements, etc. will all be borne by the water users.
I would expect to see us operating with elected boards and open meetings as again approved by voters at recent town meetings. The trend right now is to turn the running of government over to appointed employees at the taxpayers' expense. I think the democratic form of government could and should prevail.
I would expect to see the state continue to maintain the sewer line to Worcester rather than transfer it to the city and towns. The trunk lines were extended to Rutland to accommodate the health care facilities that were such an integral part of the town from 1898 to the late 1990s. Leroy (Skip) Clark
Address: 199 Glenwood Road
Profession: Owner and operator of Ketonen-Clark Farm, a grain and farm supply store; also sells pork, beef, eggs and chicken raised at the farm

1. I do believe that, in time, the town select board can work out an agreement with school officials to meet most people's satisfaction regarding the school budget.
A good education for all children is important to all of us, town/school officials and residents alike. Without further overburdening of taxpayers, this can be accomplished.
Selectmen should help the school officials to push for more funding for the schools. Select boards in all the towns of the Wachusett District should help their school boards pursue state funding that is available for regional school districts.
The towns cannot afford to pay for the extra services necessary to implement the new programs demanded of our schools. Since these are federal and state-mandated programs, federal and state funding should be provided to cover the extra costs.
Moderating the growth of our town would also help the school budget problem in Rutland. If we keep adding more children into our school system every year, naturally the cost of education will continue to rise.
2. In 10 years I would like to see Rutland remain a rural community, with farms, fields, forests and open space. A town of community spirit, as we have today, with everyone working for the common good of all: a good education for our children and enriching activities outside of school. I would like to see the same excellent programs for senior citizens that we have today. The community spirit of the seasonal celebrations of the town, such as the Fourth of July parade, the lighting of the tree on the Common, the Festival of Trees. This is the spirit of a small community, where everyone takes part.
To accomplish this, I would like to slow the growth of the Rutland, for financial as well as aesthetic reasons. More houses do not actually bring more tax dollars to the town. For every tax dollar collected on residential property, the town spends approximately $1.33 on services. For every tax dollar collected on open land (farms, forests, etc.) the town spends approximately $.80 on services.
I would like to see the town acquire more open space land, and to help landowners take advantage of state programs that preserve their land as open space.
It will not be easy to keep Rutland a rural community. With so many beautiful places to build a home here, who wouldn't want to move out to the country? But if building new homes goes unchecked, there won't be any "country" left. Rutland will become a suburban sprawl.
With leadership in town government that believes in the importance of preserving our irreplaceable rural heritage, and the community support of residents of the same values - at town meetings and at the voting booths - we can accomplish this. Stephanie King

1. Without merit, the school cannot put blame on the towns for poor budgeting practices and the towns cannot blame the school system for irresponsible spending. To avoid any blame, both the towns and the school system need to go through their audits and make any necessary corrections in order to conserve funds. It is unacceptable to have an auditor pick up the same mistake more than once. If you make a poor fiscal decision, they are going to point it out. Unfortunately the budget problem is not only internal within the towns and school system. The new state statistics show that people living in Massachusetts are paying more for education than any other state in our country. The DOE and House One came out with roughly $200 million in Chapter 70 money. The state puts much emphasis on a town's foundation budget. If the inflation rate of 4.66 percent was added to this number, we would need to add another $54 million. This obviously shows that the state's number is an inadequate one. Based on low state aid numbers, the towns and school systems are dealing with a lot of pressure. When you're part of a five-town school district, you have many personalities and ideas which often are difficult if not impossible to merge into one decision. Transcending town lines is often a public problem. People tend to think specifically about their own town's needs. I believe with more of a regional perspective and by making sure all internal administrative controls are in order, we would have less fighting and more consensus. Money problems create enormous stress for even a husband and wife let alone five towns and a school committee. In tough fiscal times we need to have a tight budget, therefore we need to take an inventory of what we have and make an honest and conservative decision for what capital spending we may need to plan for. We cannot rely on state funds alone.
2. To see that the town is implementing the proposed comprehensive plan so that the town's goals are met at a balanced rate. Annual reports from municipal departments accessing how they have been utilizing the comprehensive plan. Preservation of the town's country character as the town experiences inevitable growth. A good example of this was the push from the town to keep the Dunkin' Donuts aesthetically pleasing to our rural environment. To keep seeing the farms we drive past now and try to make it easier for new farms to have an opportunity to survive. To see more of a diversity of housing options that adhere to the young, senior and low-income populations. Maintain a strong tax base in town by providing for job opportunities such as with the old Rutland Heights Hospital site. If a facility was designed for manufacturing or retail it would expand the option for residents to work within the town instead of traveling to other areas, helping to keep our tax base strong. Acquired and preserved open space, interconnected trails and natural resources. Any needed tools, equipment or manpower for the police, fire and emergency services. Excellence in public education, continuously upgrading school building facilities and technological equipment. Town-owned space for activities based around the young, teen and senior populations. Well maintained public facilities for town workers with the technology and resources to provide the public with satisfactory service they can afford. A pedestrian-friendly community by maintaining sidewalks, jogging and bike paths. To see that the town has become more open-minded to a regional perspective.

Lamplighters is not your average school. They are pioneering a radical approach to education in their community. They're not just interested in excellent education – they're building a movement.
So perhaps its not surprising that when they run their Charidy crowdfunding campaigns, the Lamplighters team doesn't hold back. The campaigns themselves are always emblematic of not just what the school does, but who they are, and what the school truly means to everyone involved.
Looking for a way to ignite your supporters for your next campaign? Look no further; Lamplighters provides some excellent inspiration.
Take this messaging example from their November, 2017, campaign:
Your donation today will fuel a movement. To support a reality where tradition and innovation are not at war. Where education is lit up with wholeness, integration, and personalization.
It's starts with you. Join us to set education on fire.
It's a powerful rallying call, and resonates with the Lamplighters audience of committed and passionate parents, educators, and community leaders.
The goal is to have every stakeholder look at the campaign and say to themselves: I see myself in this cause.
(That, by the way, is a great goal for any campaign.)
That central focus – a clear message that puts their supporters at the center of the story – echoes in every aspect of their campaigns.
It's a master class in donor-centric fundraising.
Another example:
In the course of the campaign, Lamplighters energized their supporters through sponsorships and give-aways. They shared these opportunities in a way that built in "the network effect" – basically, ensuring that after one group of people shares, another group is primed to take the message even farther. It also kept their supporters firmly at the center of the story, offering prizes that spoke clearly to the interests of their audience and using lots of "you" language.
Color, excitement, personality, clear (and fun!) instructions – who could help but get on board?
All these elements, and more, help Lamplighters build community and raise dollars to ignite and fuel the movement. And through it all, their clear messaging powerfully puts their supporters at the center of the story, keeping donors engaged and giving every year.
Ready to ignite your movement? Reach out to a Charidy fundraising specialist today!

As some of you know I have a small supply of ink, some of which have appeared in blog posts. I have a mixture of bottled ink and cartridges. I can't say which I prefer – both have their advantages. I was keeping the ink all over the place until I reorganized my office. Now I have all my ink in one place: my ink cabinet.
The top shelf houses my Lamy ink in the middle, and my two bottles of Quink. The middle shelf holds my J. Herbin ink cartridge tins, and the bottom shelf has the rest of my cartridges on the left, my Akkerman bottle in the middle and a spice jar full of empty cartridges on the right. I want to buy an ink syringe so I can re-use the empty cartridges.
Here's a bit of a close up. I realize now the dark ink against the dark wood does not make for a great picture but you get the idea. The lighter cartridge packages and tins make for an interesting contrast I hope.
The cabinet was a Christmas gift from my sister many, many years ago. I think it originally contained bath products or something like that. I kept the cabinet because I thought it was beautiful. It's been keeping some figurines safe for me but I recently bought a curio shelf at an antique store and it is perfect them. That left this cabinet open for possibility, and I thought my ink would look nice in it, while still being kept out of direct sunlight.
I will post further updates as the collection grows, as I'm sure it will. I have 11 J. Herbin colours out of a possible 30, so there is definitely room for growth. And then there are the bottled J. Herbin inks!! I will need a bigger cabinet! 🙂

Jesse Hart's goal Saturday night was to become the first fighter to stop veteran Thomas Awimbono.
Not even Hart expected it to take just one minute and 28 seconds.
Hart caught Awimbono with a right uppercut that dropped the fighter from Ghana just 1:05 into their scheduled 10-round super middleweight match in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Awimbono got up, but Hart hit him with another right hand that dropped him to his knees and caused referee Lee Rogers to wave an end to their brief bout.
Philadelphia's Hart (23-1, 19 KOs) scored a first-round knockout in his first fight since suffering his lone loss – a close, 12-round, unanimous-decision defeat to WBO super middleweight champ Gilberto Ramirez on September 22 in Tucson, Arizona.
Hart, 28, fought Saturday night on the undercard of Ramirez's optional title defense against Ghana's Habib Ahmed at American Bank Center.
The 37-year-old Awimbono (25-8-1, 21 KOs) lost a fourth straight fight.
Immediately before Hart's fight, Teofimo Lopez, one of boxing's top prospects, out-classed Juan Pablo Sanchez with his hand speed, power and athleticism on his way to an easy unanimous-decision victory in a six-round junior welterweight fight. Lopez won by big margins on all three scorecards (60-54, 60-54, 59-55).
The 20-year-old Lopez improved to 8-0, but an accidental clash of heads in the second round caused a deep, long cut over his left eye that could postpone his next fight.
Las Vegas' Lopez is scheduled to face Will Madera (11-0-1, 5 KOs), of Albany, New York, in an eight-rounder on the Jose Ramirez-Amir Imam undercard March 17 in The Theater at Madison Square Garden.
Lopez, who fought for Honduras at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, was particularly dominant throughout the fifth round. He continued toying with Sanchez during the sixth round, but he couldn't drop the tough veteran from Mexico.
Sanchez, 29, has lost four of his past five fights (30-15, 14 KOs, 1 NC). He was a late replacement for John Delperdang (10-4, 9 KOs).
Earlier Saturday night, 17-year-old super featherweight prospect Gabriel Flores Jr. needed just 2:31 to dispose of Alex Solorio in a fight that was scheduled for six rounds.
Flores (6-0, 5 KOs), of Stockton, California, landed several combinations during their short, one-sided fight. He stopped Mexico's Solorio (4-3, 1 KO) with Solorio still standing because Solorio wasn't throwing punches back at Flores.

What You Can Expect
I've been around a long time and I have a lot of experience. I'm not a young man anymore, so I might not be able to set the world on fire and run up a tower like I did when I was 18, but with age comes wisdom. The old saying "work smart, not hard" applies. I prefer to charge by the job, not by the hour. That way, the customer doesn't feel like they are getting ripped off and I am not under the gun to hurry. Do it right — not just fast.
I also enjoy talking to people; telling my tales and hearing yours. When the work is done, I don't mind sitting around chatting. I'm not going to get rich on this job, but then again, money isn't everything. I'm in this line of work because I enjoy it and I'm good at it. I do need to pay my bills, however, just like you do. Having me work for you will cost you some money, but at the end of the job you'll have a good installation and I hope you'll feel like you were treated fairly. We will discuss your project and agree on a price beforehand.
Please contact me to discuss pricing and availability.
73, Tim
