    Posted by Shannon Love on June 6th, 2005 (All posts by )

    The Christmas before last my son got a case of the flu he couldn’t shake. He had been running a fever for 8 days when he suddenly turned a bright pink all over as if he had just stepped out of a sauna. Then he developed itchy welts on his skin. Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) applied topically took the welts down so I knew the welts resulted from some kind of allergic reaction, but I couldn’t guess as to what, so off to the doctor’s we went.

    The doctor looked at him and diagnosed strep throat. A $15 antibiotic and an over-the-counter cream for the itch and in a couple of days he was right as rain.

    The pink skin and welts came from an interesting side effect of infection from the streptococcal bacteria that cause strep throat. The bacteria shed a protein called an endotoxin that has two effects on the body. First, it causes a dilation of the capillaries which causes a body wide blush. Second, the protein sticks to tissues in the body, especially the skin, which causes the body’s immune system to attack its own tissues. You might know of these effects under their historical name.

    Scarlet fever.

    My son had scarlet fever. Almost all children today get strep throat but few ever exhibit the secondary symptoms that were named scarlet fever, because they get treated with antibiotics before it progresses to that point. My son’s case progressed so far only because he got strep on top of getting the flu. The flu disguised the strep and let it last long enough to pump the endotoxin into his body.

    Left untreated the endotoxins can kill by causing the immune system to savage the body’s own tissues. The chronically weak characters of Victorian stories were usually survivors of scarlet fever which left their heart muscles damaged. I treated the entire incident as an excuse to educate my children on the history of communicable diseases. Imagine, I said, if every time you got a sore throat you had to worry that it might lead to your death. Their great-grandmother helped by relating that when she caught scarlet fever in the 1920s she lost all the skin on her legs from the knees down. Her cousin died of it. Given the size of the welts that broke out on my son, he was in serious danger if left untreated.

    Which brings me to John D. Rockefeller, the founder of Standard Oil.

    In 1901, John D. Rockerfeller was regarded as the world’s richest man. His personal fortune at the time was estimated at 900 million dollars. In today’s money that would be something like 200 billion. By comparison, Bill Gates has an estimated fortune of $52.8 billion. Proportionally, Rockefeller was arguably the richest American, if not the richest human, ever.

    In 1901, two of Rockefeller’s grandchildren, Jack and Fowler, ages 3 and 4, contracted scarlet fever. Rockefeller sought the best of care for them. He offered one physician the modern equivalent of $11 million to save the boys but the best physicians of the day could do nothing. The richest man in the world, the man who could buy anything, could do nothing but watch helplessly as his grandson Jack died of the fever.

    Many people want us to think of wealth in terms of envy. We should make a pile of our money and compare it to the piles of others. If someone else has a larger pile, especially a much larger pile, then we should create some rationale for taking money away from them so the piles come out more even. In this view, money is more of a social score card than a tool for getting what you need. In this view, Rockefeller was many, many times wealthier than I will ever be. All the money that I will ever have would not have made a ripple if dropped into Rockefeller’s fortune. I have a molehill of money whereas he had mountain.

    However, the true measure of wealth is not the amount of money one has but instead what the money one does have can buy. I bought the life of my son for a mere pittance, whereas Rockefeller could not purchase the life of his grandchild for all that he owned.

    So of the two of us, which is the wealthiest?

    It just not just in areas like medical care that I live better than Rockefeller. In 1901, even the wealthy did not have forced-air heating and cooling. Palatial mansions were cold and drafty in the winter and hot in the summer. My humble home has near perfect temperature regulation. I can travel farther, faster and in more comfort. Thanks to the internet, I can annoy the French without even getting out of bed. Increasing technology has also increased social and political equality by forcing the rise of specialization. There is no longer a mass of peasants or a proletariat whose identical skills make them easy to replace. The rich and powerful must bargain fairly or face a revolt of the specialists which can bring the economy to its knees.

    The central threat of redistributionism is that it attacks the very creative process that produces the material wealth that truly makes our lives better. Redistributionism thinks short term. It gives immediate benefits today at the sacrifice of a better tomorrow. A redistributionist would be very pleased if he managed to give everyone today the same level of medical care that Bill Gates gives his own family, but the free market will eventually give everybody even better care than Gates could purchase with all his fortune.

    I am wealthier than Rockefeller ever dreamed of being and I want my grandchildren to be wealthier than Bill Gates. Only the free market can give them that.

    1. Ginny Says:

      Thanks for the thought for the day. You always help put things in perspective–because your perspective is so much broader. Surely the fact that the chances are pretty good we’ll see our kids reach maturity makes for greater happiness than we can imagine. Thanks for making us remember that – as well as appreciate the breadth of our luck.

      A doctor who was asked to save a wealthy & famous person a 15 or so years ago told me the family implied that by offering money and leveraging their status a cure would appear. They believed that the (major research hospital) had some cure in reserve, waiting for the rich & powerful to tap it. The doctor was bemused & offended; while not identifying the family, the hints were that it possessed money, status, and s member who repeatedly insists on a role as sentimental rep of the poor uninsured in the senate.

      Life trumps all. And this sense that being equal is more important than being free is the great enslaver (of our minds as well as our bodies).

      On a more mundate note than Shannon’s, look at the quite accessible Walmart or Target: whatever our tastes, the music we hear, the drama we watch or the books we read are acccessible in a way they weren’t to even the robber barons; we choose from a broader array of clothes, food, and hobbies.

      Thanks again, Shannon.

    2. Lori Hiteshew Says:

      Shannon, what you are describing is called “opportunity cost” in economic terms. It is the value in the things that have no price, and commonly compared to those items of luxury with a price tag.

      In personal terms, the opportunity cost of spending a Friday night drinking with your friends could be the amount of money you could have earned if you had devoted that time to working overtime.

      Opportunity cost need not be assessed in monetary terms, but rather, is assessed in terms of anything that is of value to the person or persons doing the assessing. The consideration of opportunity costs is one of the key differences between the concepts of economic cost and accounting cost. Assessing opportunity costs is fundamental to assessing the true cost of any course of action. In the case where there is no explicit accounting or monetary cost (price tag) attached to a course of action, ignoring opportunity costs may produce the illusion that its benefits cost nothing at all. The unseen opportunity costs then become the hidden costs of that course of action.

      I try to keep a close eye on my own “opportunity costs” because it is so easy to turn an envious eye to the proverbial “Jonses.”

      There’s more scarlet fever going around. My daughter’s girlfriend had it with few symptoms, but that can be deadly.

      If you live in the developed world, that is. Especially in the US, and that’s not intended to discount any other nation’s progress. While I was in Texas (I’m back in China now), I had a conversation with an older gentleman, even older than me, I mean…

How to Teach the NG Sound by Chicago Speech Therapy

The /ng/ sound is a single, distinct consonant sound, even though it is spelled with two letters and sounds similar to /n/. Like the /n/ sound, /ng/ is a nasal sound. This means that the air passes through the nasal passage instead of through the mouth when making the sound. To make this sound, lift the back of your tongue against the soft palate, which is the soft area at the very back of the roof of your mouth, forming a seal. Then make a sound with your vocal cords. Since you have closed off your mouth, the air travels through your nose, creating the /ng/ sound.

Kids usually begin to make this sound at around age two and should have a solid grasp on it by age four. If you notice that your child is four years or older and is still having trouble correctly producing this sound, it is highly recommended that you seek the help of a licensed speech therapist. Addressing the situation sooner rather than later will help prevent a tiny and easily fixed problem from compounding into a larger issue later.

Helping your little with her articulation at home can be fun and rewarding for both of you. Here are some activities and techniques recommended by children’s speech-language pathologists to help stimulate your child’s articulation and to keep track of her progress:

  • Verbal cues

To begin practicing, pronounce the sound for your child cleanly and clearly so that she understands the specific sound you are focusing on, what is sounds like, and has a good example to imitate. Repeat the sound slowly for her, “/ng/, /ng/, /ng/.” Encourage your child to repeat it back to you. In time and with lots of practice, your little one will be able to say the sound correctly over and over again. Once she is able to do this, gradually add vowels to the sound to form small syllables. Since /ng/ is not used at the beginning of words in the English language, try it at the end of syllables such as “ing, ing, ing,” “ang, ang, ang,” and “ung, ung, ung.” As she masters these sounds, gradually progress to words, phrases, and sentences with the /ng/ sound.

  • Tactile Cues

Since /ng/ is a nasal sound, the tongue blocks the air through the mouth and it instead flows through the nose. IF your child has trouble with this, have him hold is nose as he makes the sound. If the air gets trapped and cannot exit either the nose or the mouth, he will know that he is making the sound correctly. If the air can escape through his mouth, he will know that he needs to reposition his tongue. Another cool feature of nasal sounds is that they vibrate your nose as you say them. Encourage your child to touch the side of his nose when making the /ng/ sound to feel the vibrations.

  • Awesome /ng/ Activity

To practice the /ng/ sound with your child, sing the “Sing Song” version of your favorite songs together. Whatever the song is, sing it with the same tune but replace all the words with “sing, song, sing, sing song, sing!” This works equally well with lullabies and songs on the radio. Kids think it is funny when they get to sing the wrong words (and words that don’t have sense, either!) and can even make up their own sing-song tunes! Practice in the car, during bath time, or just bopping around the house!

Associate Professor, Sociology (Affiliate)

Research Overview

My research focuses on race and ethnicity, sociology of education, family, adolescent sexual behavior, and quantitative methods. Recent publications in race/ethnicity, education, and family include articles in American Journal of Sociology, American Sociological Review, Social Forces, American Journal of Education, and other journals. Regarding issues related to adolescent sexual behavior, I have recently published an article in American Journal of Sexuality Education, in which I examine government influences and community involvements in abstinence-only education in 1999 and 2003. Currently, I am working on a project concerning female adolescents’ sexual subjectivity, defined as girls’ knowledge, awareness, and self-efficacy in sexual situations. This study is highly relevant to public health and has important policy implications, given the high rates of teen pregnancy (71.5 per 1,000 young women, the highest among industrialized nations) and sexually transmitted diseases among American teenage girls. Finally, I am also interested in qualitative methodology, and have published three journal articles in Sociological Methods & Research and Journal of Marriage and Family, developed a program for use in Excel (“XPost”; see, and translated the book “Regression Models for Categorical and Limited Dependent Variables” into Chinese.

In a food processor (or medium bowl) whip the egg white until the egg has loosened and become frothy. Add in the almond flour, salt, and cheese until a stiff dough forms. Cut two pieces of parchment paper the size of baking sheet. Put dough on top of one piece of parchment. Place the second piece of parchment on top of the dough and roll out with rolling pin until dough covers the parchment sheet (see photo).
Cheez ItsRoll the dough so it is the same thickness or it will bake unevenly.

An Abandoned Rite

Fr. Grzegorz Brodacki, O.Cist.

“Holy Mother Church holds all lawfully acknowledged rites to be of equal right and dignity; that she wishes to preserve them in the future and to foster them in every way.” We find this statement in the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy of the last ecumenical council (§4). Here many will say, not without irony, that the subsequent radical reform of the Roman rite (or rather its destruction followed by the creation of something completely new) showed very well what such “preservation in the future and fostering in every way” mean in practice. However, such an abandonment of an existing rite, even though not to such extent and not on the universal level, is not something unprecedented in the history of the Church’s liturgy. In the course of the 17th century the Cistercian Order almost unanimously abandoned its rite of the Mass so as to accept the Roman rite with few features of their own rite.

What were the reasons for which the authorities of the Order decided to stop using the proper Cistercian rite? To answer to that question, we must know something about its history and its character.

The Cistercian Order was founded in 1098 in Burgundy in France out of a desire to renew the monastic life by returning to the literal adherence to the Rule of Saint Benedict. However, while the Rule speaks much about the structure of the canonical hours, it is completely silent about the rite of the Mass. What is more, Saint Benedict does not even indicate how often the Mass should be celebrated in the monastery. So, the first generations of the Cistercian monks had to find other principles to arrange the rite of their Mass. One of the principles was authenticity; they decided to use only renowned sources. This mainly regards the textual layer of the rite. The chant books were copied in Metz which at that time enjoyed the reputation of having the purest Gregorian tradition. Also, the texts of the missal (called at that time the “sacramentary”) were taken from the most respected churches of Burgundy.

Other principles were simplicity and poverty. One can say that properly these two principles shaped mostly the external layer of the Cistercian rite. The substance of the rite – taken from the existing monastic customs and from neighbouring churches – remained intact, but the Cistercians decided to remove or simplify all that they saw as accidental and superfluous.

Let us take a look at a typical conventual mass celebrated every day at a Cistercian abbey. The first difference with respect to the other rites at the time was the scarcity of ministers: for Sundays and feasts the priest was accompanied by a deacon and subdeacon, while on ordinary days even the subdeacon was unnecessary.

Just after the preparatory prayers at the foot of the altar, the ministers proceeded to the preparation of the chalice, but the pouring of the water was reserved to the priest. Once the lesson had been sung, the subdeacon could join the choir to help in singing.

Before the gospel, the deacon asked the abbot for his blessing. After the Credo, the deacon brought the sacred vessels (let us remember – these already contained the wine with water) to the altar, but there was no special offertory prayer other than In spiritu humilitatis. Then, only on feast days and only at this moment, incense was used. The way of incensing was quite curious: the priest traced a circle over the offerings with the thurible, then incensed the right side of the altar, the left one and again the right and the left side of the base of the altar. After that, he gave the thurible to the deacon who in turn incensed the right side of the altar cross and then went behind the altar to the left side to do the same there.

The Canon of the mass was substantially identical to its counterparts elsewhere. It is important however to point out two particularities: first, the elevation of the sacred species was introduced somehow reluctantly and gradually, so it became universal only in the 15th century. Secondly, kneeling was practiced to a limited degree. The community knelt down for the Canon only on ferial days, while the sacred ministers did not kneel ever.

The Pater noster was followed by a series of prayers for peace and, at least at the beginning, for the reconquest of the Holy Land. Also, the way of distribution of the Holy Communion was quite remarkable. The sign of peace was given uniquely to those who were to receive Communion. In conformity with the Rule of Saint Benedict, the monks approached the altar by seniority, they knelt on the highest degree and received the species of bread directly on the tongue. Similarly, kneeling on the left side of the altar, they drank the consecrated wine without touching with their hands the chalice held by the deacon and subdeacon. Then they passed to the sacristan standing between the altar and choir and drank a little bit of unconsecrated wine in order to “purify themselves,” probably from the possible remnants of the sacred species in the mouth.

At this point the role of the celebrant was practically over. He had only to wash his hands at the piscina (i.e. a kind of a little well placed at the right side of the altar), recite the postcommunion prayer, and then could go back to the sacristy, with no final blessing, which is noteworthy. In the meanwhile, the sacred ministers were occupied with purification of the sacred vessels, not upon the altar but at the ministerium (i.e. credence table). The rite of purification was quite complex: it consisted of several ablutions with wine and water and even of licking the paten.

Even this summary description of the Cistercian Mass gives one an idea of the extreme simplicity and sobriety of the medieval rite. However, not only this was its weak point. The situation was even more difficult, since there was no detailed and exhaustive description of its ceremonies. Actually, the medieval Usus contained special chapters speaking about various types of the mass (conventual with two ministers, conventual with one minister, private mass), but those descriptions were anything but complete and satisfying. As long as the Order was vivacious, conscious of the richness of its proper tradition, the new generations of priests were taught the rite by their elders. By contrast, after the Council of Trent, when a new generation of men joined the Order, the sense of the Order’s own identity, expressed in large part by liturgical customs, faded more and more. Those men knew almost exclusively the post-Trent Roman rite which at that time was spreading with astonishing success, enjoyed the authority of the pontiff, corresponded to the spiritual tastes and needs of the epoch and, last but not least, was meticulously described.

We can suppose that all those factors provoked a gradual abandonment of the medieval Cistercian rite. The first step towards its romanisation, made 1611, was a permission to say private masses according to the Roman missal granted to the monks of the Order. To facilitate that new possibility, in 1617 the Roman Ritus servandus was inserted into the new edition of the Cistercian missal, since there was no Cistercian counterpart to it. In the following year the general chapter formally adopted the Roman Ritus celebrandi. Liturgical unrest was in the air. Claude Vaussin, who was elected general abbot in 1645, decided to publish liturgical books that would put an end to the increasing liturgical confusion, and doubtlessly also to the fights between the “traditionalists” and the partisans of the Romeward trend. Eventually, in 1656 under his authority the Breviarium cisterciense juxta Romanum was published, and one year later came the analogous Missale cisterciense juxta novissimam Romani recognitum correctionem. Thus, the traditional Cistercian rite (with the small exception of the Congregation of Castile) ceased to exist. While the romanisation was not total and complete, as there remained, for example, several Cistercian features for the rites of Holy Week, the rite’s substance was henceforth purely Roman.

During the first half of the 20th century there was a considerable renewal of the Cistercian Order in both branches (the Strict and Common Observances) which led at least three monasteries (Hauterive, Poblet, and the now-closed Boquen) to restore the primitive rite that had fallen into disuse, but even those attempts ended in a debacle after the introduction of St. Paul VI’s Novus Ordo Missae.

As we can see, the necessity of protecting the liturgical richness of the Church has not only been urgent in our own times. Undeniably, the abolition of the traditional Roman rite was something unusual in the history of the Church; however, the abandonment of the primitive Cistercian rite shows to us a phenomenon which differed only in scope, not in quality. The lesson that we can take from this is that every liturgical tradition is worthy of protection and cultivation. Nowadays many speak about regionalization, decentralization, and the exaltation of minorities, but few are able to apply these principles to the liturgical life of the Church. If we believe that the Holy Spirit leads the Church and inspires various communities growing in Her bosom to express their faith, their charism, and their way of life, even through liturgical forms, a blind unification cannot be understood as anything other than a big mistake and a deep impoverishment.

Khitou Dawson*, of the Preston Journal, ia uii uncomfortable sort of a person to have around when irresponsible and loose jointed statements are beiug indulged in by Democratic oratom. lie is full of facts andrttatistics and is very apt to get thcin in on a iligldy and poetic orator like Dan l.ncaa. l or instance, Dan stated in his Clarksburg speech the other day that it iiislri this government five times as much to collect its revenueasany of other government in the world. Dawson proceeds to stick the following pin in this statement: "This i? a most egregious untruth. I n h\k otJicial report, dated July 20, 1881', the Commissioner of Internal Kevenue says that during the last Bix years the expenses of collecting the internal revenue taxes was but "> and six-tenths percent, and but [\\ jter cent bust year. This is less than the cost of collecting in Great Britain even. Jt that it costs lis about one-half as iiiiicIi to collect the internal revenue taxes ns it does to collect our State and county taxes. Foil the information of n reader of the IxTKi.i.muxcKi: at Manirington we would wy that the Ashland hoiror, which has tunned so much blood shed and suffering, jjrew out of a rape committed on three young girls near that place some months ago hy three scoundrels named Kllis, Neal and Craft. The girla were subsequently murdered hy them and the house wherein their bodies were left set on fire and partially consumed. After the finding of the Mies one of the miscreants (Ellis) was arrested, lodged in jiil and there made a confession admitting the erime and implicating Neal and Craft. JI is confession so outraged the people Ibnt a mob gathered and took him out of the jail and hung him. llis alleged confederates, Xeai and Craft, were duly arrested and put in j.iil, and it was while they were being removed from Catlettsburg jail, under a change of venue, that the shootirg occurred at Ashland. As To-Motmow will bo Sunday, perhaps it is just us well that the following item stiouli! appear the day before. A special to the Chicago Timet announces that Dr. Scudder, of Brooklyn, 2f.'Y., has accepted a call to Chicago, tor the following reason : Dr. Seudder said his health demanded a cluing!*, with less work, and that he could use ihf accumulated material of his Brooklyn service in a new charge. This dispatch forma the text for the folio ring short sermon by the Cincinnati (hurtle of yesterday: That is to say, he proposes to use in his Chicago inilpit the sermons he had already preached in Brooklyn, and. thus, while seeming to work, find rest. This is a common nnictice. and yet people wonder why the'church dois not grow more rapidly and * why theoretical Christianity is out of all proportion to that which is practical. The minister who makes a habit of preaching old sermons, shifting from one Held to another to enable him to do so, i.s apt to be irretrievably liuried in rutn, and certainly is not likely to keep abreast of the time, and the church that is fed on old sermons is almost sure to fall behind in spirit and in numbers. "There." said an old and influential pastor, "1 did tlie best net of my life last night. I piied ?|iniy old sermons in the yard and made a bonfire of them." If ministers think they are doing their duty when repeating old sermons, they would learn something bv consulting the pews. If this is the church work, the true policy would be to hire a good reader. The best sermons uro in print. "I>oi.I.Alt oil," as it 1ms been alluded to Jor swim time past, was at last reached yesterday at Pittsburgh ; not only "dollar oil," but dollar ami live cents oil. It had been a long time working up to this point, and many believed that those who bad gone in al ninety cents, expecting oil to reach a dollar, would bo unloaded upon and perhaps crushed at ninety-Hve by the syndiiiiii' of large operators, wbo are supposed to lie back of the market. Now that the charmed figure, so long predicted and so much suspected, has been reached and Kissed, there-is no telling how far forward Hie next stake will be set, but probably at $1.-5. The average speculator always likes a stake far ahead, and the big operators are always careful to Bet it n good piece ahead, m as to give greater firmness to intermediate figures. There will probably bo a {rreater disposition to speculate, now that the once improbable point has beoa passed, than there was at tUty cents three months ago. There was intense excitement yesterday at Pittsburgh and large amounts of oil certificates changed hands. The 'days of 1870 may possibly relH-.it themselves,-when oil was carried up ! > four times its present price, but, on the ttlmr tiUMil \iKi>iuiiri?r llm ilrnn in nrnnnrlv arranged the victims will bo swung off in iniM air.

Washington, .November 3.?The estimates published a day or two since from the Postoflice Department are' likely to prove a little misleading and do not represent the true state of fuuds of the Postollice Department. According to the report of Postmaster .General, this year.it will be shown that the surplus of the Postoilice Department over its expenditures will be about SI,000,000. This report does not include this amount of money paid the Pacific roads, for whose bonds the Government is endorser. These roada are in arrears ou interest to the government, and the amount that. in nitiiiiuUv ??n?l >>?*?" for carrying the mails is simply taken to the Treasury Department and credited to these roads. Under this method no warrant is issued by the Poatoflice Depart ment, and the amount noes upon , the books of the Sixth Auditor, who has charge of the accounts of the Postotlice Department. As a eonscquence, while the Postolllie appropriation is charged with this sum, amounting to over$1,000,000, the report does not show it, as the Postmaster General can only take the' figures of the Sixth Auditor upon which to base his report. lie makes a showing of $1,(500,000 surplus instead of 8(500,000, which is really the amount saved; so, although the estimates of the Postmaster General fchow' a probable surplus of $3,000,000, the real surplus cannot he over $2,000;000.

Cunningham were present discussing nil order of the Court in a caso in which both wore1 counsel, when Mr. Henderson remarked that Mr, Cunningbai? had not kept faith in some matters. Mr. Cunningham replied in a heated man* ner that Henderson's assertion was false, whereupon the.ex-Senator struck out from the shoulder and planted . three blows on Cunningham's face and head, knocking him violently against an iron pillar in the Court,:room,. and thence to the lloor. Friends then interfered and the men were separated. Judge Treat was terribly shocked and, excited. , He characterized the affair as tho most disgraceful ono that had occurred in the Court during the twenty-four years he had been on tho bench, and notwithstanding Mr. Henderson made an apology he lined him twenty dollars. Mr. Cunningham in his contact, with the iron-pillar had a finger broken, and two others dislocated. . - licci'linr oil FulKcr.

“Navy League cancels Sea-Air-Space in response to coronavirus restrictions” –Navy Times

USNI News photo: A model of the BAE Systems Adaptable Deck Launcher, which is meant to be similar to the Mk41 Vertical Launch System but would be bolted to the top of the ship deck instead of installed underneath it. This model shows a four-cell launcher, with one cell holding four missile canisters.

Navy Times is reporting that the Navy League cancelled its Sea-Air-Space Expo after Maryland’s Governor banned gatherings of more than 250 people.

“The event will not be rescheduled this calendar year but will be back on next year from April 12 to April 14, 2021.”

Manage Your Online Business With Ease
Thanks to This Complete Library of Customizable Checklists for Stress-Free Systems & Perfectly Profitable Processes!

Ask any super-productive (and successful) business owner how they manage to get so much done, and they might mention outsourcing (always a good choice) or 80-hour workweeks (not so good) or even a killer caffeine habit.

What they probably won't mention is the infrastructure that keeps everything operating smoothly.

Turns out those get-everything-done types all have one thing in common: checklists.

You see, they've learned that...

Proven, repeatable systems are
the key to business success!

No one wants to hear that, though. I mean, checklists are pretty boring, and it's a whole lot faster to just do a task than it is to document it, right?

Here's what you may not know: Checklists and other business documentation help new entrepreneurs be more efficient (so they can stop working those 80-hour weeks), and make successful businesses even more profitable.

Every single successful business - from billion-dollar corporations to the diner on the corner - use checklists to document their workflows. If you're not using them consistently in your business, I already know 3 things about you, even if we've never met:

  • You're working way too hard and wasting way more time than you think you do.
  • You're not making as much money as you could be making just by implementing more efficient systems.
  • Your business is one bad flu season away from total disaster.

Think I'm exaggerating? Consider this:

If you don't have your critical business processes well documented in checklist form...

  • How many hours each week do you spend searching for lost passwords or figuring out (again) what size image to use in a blog post?
  • How much money have you lost thanks to those wasted hours?
  • Most importantly, if you could not work this week for any reason, who is there to take over your most crucial business tasks, and how will they know what to do?

As a business owner, those are the kinds of questions that should be keeping you up at night.

If they are, I want to help you put proper systems in place so you can prevent disaster and earn more money, too.

Get my personal operations & marketing checklists..

These are the very same checklists I developed for use in my company and that I've used with 6- and 7-figure clients for years.  They're what keep million-dollar companies running smoothly, and they'll help you and your team, too.

JUST $27

Thank you for the great checklists. We're in the process of starting to write down our systems and you just gave us a jump start.

Tracy Roberts -

Bonus: Business Operations Manual

We don't want to think about what might happen if we're unable to tend to our business... or worse.

Who will contact your clients? Who will handle your open projects? Will your team know what to do and how to access your business accounts and assets?

Without a detailed operations manual, you run the risk of leaving your family and team with a chaotic mess. A simple documentation system can provide a safety net for all involved, so I'm including a framework you can use to ensure your own business is well documented in the event you become incapacitated.

Here's what you can do with these checklists

This checklist bundle is a perfect addition to (or the beginnings of) your standard operating procedures manual. Whether you're a company of one and you simply want to make your own life easier, you have a team of contractors you delegate to, or you ARE a contractor looking to add value for your clients, standard operating procedures are a must-have tool.

They'll ensure every project is completed efficiently and correctly, and you know what that means... More profits in your pockets and less stress, too.

How much time will you save?

I know you value your time just as much as you value quality in your business, so imagine spending 20 minutes creating a checklist for your weekly email newsletter setup, and another 20 minutes on a checklist for new blog posts, and yet another 20 minutes figuring out the regular maintenance that needs to happen on your site so you can create a checklist about that as well.

Assuming you haven't missed anything critical (and that's a big assumption), you've just spent an hour creating 3 checklists, when you could have spent $27 and downloaded all 24 of mine! I think if you do the math on that, you'll see what an amazing value this collection of done-for-you checklists really is.

Take back your time, and jumpstart that crucial procedures manual with these customizable checklists. You'll be glad you did.

Taking The Red Way

You may be interested to learn that I’ve been working on a project over the last couple of years: an MA in creative writing with the OU. For my final assignment, I’ve drawn together some of the material from the experiences I’ve talked about here, and have a written a collection of short stories about the darker side of Milton Keynes. I’m currently working on publishing these but in the meantime, here’s an except from ‘The Abbey Bones’ …

Railway Tunnel Bridge, Bradwell

I’m not sure if it’s the claustrophobically low roof or the water that drips down from it that makes this such an unsetting space to pass through, but there’s definitely something uneasy about the wooden bridge that passes through Tunnel 170 at Bradwell. It was closed recently for engineering works, but to me it looks exactly the same as it always has done… ancient, threatening and dark, with the river running underneath and trains thundering by overhead.

I’ve not been able to find much about the history of the tunnel, if there even is anything of note. I know that the stations nearby at Bradwell and Great Linford closed in the 60s, and that the railway is now part of the redway network. (I have a whole piece on the redways ready to post at some point, but that’s for another time!)

There’s a point halfway along the bridge where I always seem to hear a rhythmic thump from above, like train wheels rattling over tracks. However, I think that modern trains whoosh along rather than canter, so it’s probably some trick of the acoustics reflecting back my own footsteps from the curved ceiling. It’s one of those spots that I don’t feel comfortable lingering, especially if I’m out on my own – even though you can see both ends of the tunnel clearly, it feels like there’s someone just behind me all the time. It’s always something of a relief to come out into the light at the end.

A Scream at the Chapel, Bradwell Abbey

To entertain myself, and hopefully entertain others as well, I’m currently pursuing a creative writing course with the fine old Open University. It’s proving to be a fascinating experience, and I didn’t expect to have as much fun as I am, or to be getting such great feedback from my fellow students.

Most of the writing is peer-assessed, but every few months there’s a formal assessment point where we’re asked to put together a few thousand words, and these are marked for our eventual grade. This ‘term’, I’m working on creative non-fiction, which I thought would be a new genre for me, but it’s really the sort of thing I usually write: taking everyday experiences and looking at them from creative or unusual angles. I’ve decided that this assignment piece is going to take the form of a guided walk around one of my favourite spots, interspersed with me reflecting on architecture, hauntology, Freud’s Doppelgänger theory, psycho-geography, the memory of places, all sorts of things. Today, I set off with my good camera to take some pictures to illustrate the story and add to the ‘guided walk’ vibe.

Ritual carvings, Shenley Wood

I don’t spook easily, these days. I do most of my explorations around MK alone, and have pretty much got used to the tickles at the back of my neck that mean I’m being watched, and usually it’s a magpie about to tell me off, or a neighbourhood cat watching me go by. But on Christmas Eve, when I went for a wander up to Shenley Wood and stepped off the beaten track for a moment, I had a distinct sense that I wasn’t on my own, even though there was no-one else to be seen.

The paths through Shenley Wood are always a bit of an adventure. They’re bark-chipped, for the most part, but often so boggy that in places, I’ve come close to sacrificing a shoe to the ooze. I was squelching uphill through one of these bits when I spotted a strange structure hidden in the trees just off to my left. Any other time of year it would have been hidden in the foliage but winter lays everything bare. It looked like a metal chute chained to one of the thicker trees and I was intrigued to work out what it might be. There was a small track leading off the main path into the clearing, so I hopped and wobbled my way in. However, the odd contraption wasn’t the only thing I found in the clearing.

Trunk dwellings, Shenley Church End

Christmas Eve, 2017

I don’t think I’ve ever gone walking on Christmas Eve before – I’m usually up to my eyes in icing sugar and marzipan, putting the finishing touches to the Christmas cake or wrapping up the last few presents – but this year I felt a strong pull towards the outdoors, towards the woods. Shenley Wood in particular. It’s funny, I’ve still never been there in the summer. Always autumn or winter, when the trees are at their witchiest and the thick mud tries to steal my boots.

Possible Woodland Burial, Near MK Bowl

I wasn’t expecting to find anyone else on that odd little path that branched away from the main route. I was out for a walk, with my camera, feeling like a photojournalist or a novelist, someone far more fearless and much more glamorous than my pudgy, slightly annoyed self. It was the second day of a long-anticipated week off work and I was exploring parts of my town that I never normally got to see. I’d already circled a lake, crossed two new estates and listened to most of the morning show on 6 Music and was thinking about calling it a day.

Looking Tunnel, near H8, Ashland

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

This strange and graffiti-covered space is a mystery to me. I’ve investigated online, and try as I might, I’ve been unable to find much information about this tunnel… I’m not even sure it should really be called a tunnel, because it doesn’t actually go anywhere! It’s a disused underpass to nowhere – it looks normal enough at first, just another underpass linking two estates together – but about halfway down you realise that you’re not going to come out on the other side of the road, you’re walking to a dead end.

The Witch Bride, Caldecotte Lake

IMG_4949It started with a post on Facebook. I still used it heavily, back in those days, and had just joined a new group which posted about playgrounds in the local area. I was looking for one with a bird’s nest swing, I remember, and this group had a handy map showing where they all were. One rainy lunchtime, I was browsing through my feed and idly wondering whether I could face getting up and heading out for a walk when I came across a picture someone had posted up near Caldecotte Lake. It showed a beautiful gothic doll in a black gown, perched in the branches of a tree. The poster had been out walking his dog, and was asking if anyone knew who it belonged to. No-one had replied. Intrigued, I headed for the door before I could change my mind.

Important High School Band Information

Good evening,

This week at a glance:

Monday: Marching Band Payment and Forms Due  (see below)

Due to the Carrollton City staff reporting to campus this week, no office hours or lectures will be held this week.

8th Grade Parents:

It is imperative that you subscribe to the high school band website at this time. We want to be able to communicate with you should any changes happen due to COVID-19.

Please read the post found on the high school website for information on the marching band payments, schedule, and important forms. This includes those that are interested in auditioning for colorguard. Subscribe, “like”, and register for Remind101 to stay up to date.

I am always happy to help with any questions that you have but would like to encourage you to direct your questions to the high school directors as we move forward.

Mr. Carr:

Mr. Nelson:

7th Grade Chair Tests:

Due to the wide array of circumstances during this time, I have decided not to publish the chair test results. While I do enjoy seeing students pushing themselves and each other, I feel that it would not serve any purpose to publish the results with so many students who were unable to complete the assignment.  Students received a grade for completion of their assignment and I want to thank them for their hard work at home during the last 9 weeks. We will have a chair test in August upon our return to school. Thank you for your understanding.

Return of School Instruments:

If your child plays a school-owned instrument they may return it this week between the hours of 8am-4pm. This will allow for me to clean and send them off for repairs for the summer.

School-owned instruments include:

french horn

bass trombone

bass clarinet

tenor saxophone

baritone saxophone

I hope that you all are safe and enjoying the nice weather that we have been having. Please let me know if I can help in any way.

Ms. Menendez
