Super Tuesday this year arrives on May 20. That is when every school and library budget in the New York State goes before voters for approval.
It is interesting that these are the only budgets that voters get a direct say on – the rest are adopted by elected representatives and even piercing the "tax cap" requires only 3/5th of the elected officials. But because they are the only target at hand, too often, school budgets become the object for an anti-tax predisposition.
A budget does not just establish values and priorities, it provides the means to fulfill them – everything else is mere sloganeering.
The Great Neck budget deserves broad support because it is a win-win-win - a win for students, for taxpayers, for the community.
The Great Neck School Board did not take the easy road – they reworked the budget at least twice because of new developments as the budget was going from its preliminary, workshop phase to the final draft.
Significantly, Nassau County lost its bid to shift to school districts the financial burden of paying tax refunds on the assessments the county sets – this would have cost the district $2 million a year, or 1% of the entire school budget and about 40% of the allowed increase in property tax - mandated increases in health care and pensions take up the rest - leaving little to go into the classroom.
Our board prudently set the money aside last year so not to be confronted with a crisis of cutting programs mid-year, so had funds to tap to apply to this year's budget.
Secondly, the state came through with a small increase in state aid - $184,000 – though Great Neck still gets a relative pittance, which is why more than 95 percent of the funding for our schools has to be raised through local property taxes, compared to other districts which get 20, 30, 40 even 50 percent of their budgets paid for from state and federal aid.
Most significantly, Governor Cuomo got his property tax freeze that came with a promise to rebate to taxpayers the amount of the increase as long as the district stays under the property tax cap. This budget, with a 1.97% increase in the tax levy, stays well under the allowed cap of 2.39%.
That means that if Cuomo is true to his word, we will see the entire 1.97% increase coming back as a rebate check - an infusion of some $3.8 million into the local economy - come September or October (just before the November election, with checks likely to be signed by Governor Cuomo, so you know who to thank).
In the earliest draft, the Board made $1.3 million in cuts, then after the tax cert decision, restored $300,000. But that still left $1 million in cuts – to intramurals, teaching aids. Under the perverse regime of the Property Tax Cap, this would have meant that each year going forward, the district would have to continue to cut another $1 million then another $1 million, because you can't restore the funding once it is cut. The system is unsustainable – it is forcing school districts to cannibalize their educational program – but the State doesn't actually care.
And because of the tax rebate, cutting unnecessarily this year would also cut into what came back from the state as a rebate.
In the final version, the School Board put back $565,000 which restored prior cuts that had been made to intramural sports and teacher aide positions.
The total budget, $214,967,850 represents a 2.21% increase in spending overall. It is easy to take this total amount and simply divide by 6432 - the number of enrolled fulltime students in the district - and come up with a $33,271 per pupil cost. But that is not at all accurate.
That is because Great Neck's school budget does not just cover the 6432 students enrolled in the district's k-12 schools (a growing number), but transportation, textbooks, testing and nursing care for 1,500 students who attend private and parochial schools, the universal pre-K program, the summer recreation program (reimbursed from fees), and the Adult Education program (also paid for out of tuitions and grants). Few districts offer all these programs which serve our residents from toddler to teetering.
Of course we have a large budget - Great Neck has the second largest enrollment in the county. And yet, we are not at the top of the scale in terms of per pupil expenditure.
What we actually spend is $14,206 for K-6; $22,844 for grades 7-12, and $76,329 for special education, according to John Powell, the Assistant Superintendent for Business, who needs to do these calculations in order to know what to charge nonresidents for tuition.
Does this seem a lot? Not really. In fact, New York City spends $19,000 per student, and yet the biggest source of new Great Neck residents are families fleeing New York City public schools.
In fact, Great Neck is 31st out of 56 Nassau County school districts in spending on K-6 (the highest per pupil expenditure is $23,210); 39th out of 50 for spending on 7-12 (the highest is $31,035), and 4th in spending on special education (the highest is $100,030).
Also, the simple calculation of total school budget divided by full-time students is unfair because you are comparing Great Neck to other districts that do not have high schools - which have a higher per pupil cost; only 44 of the Nassau County's 56 districts have high schools; 11 don't have 7-12.
Powell analyzed Great Neck against 16 comparable districts over a three-year period, in how much we spend per student and how much we raise in taxes. "We're not at the bottom or at the top, but we compare very well against others."
"We've had to weather the challenges all municipalities face in operating under the property tax cap," Powell told the Great Neck Village Officials Association.
These figures alone - considering the success our district has in terms of graduation rates, test scores and admissions to college - show we get tremendous value for our tax dollars.
In fact, the district has for years been instituting policies to grow revenues to mitigate the pressure on tax revenue - charging outside organizations for the use of school facilities, for example. This year, the district earned $1.8 million more in revenue than last year, largely from taking in nonresident students into Great Neck's acclaimed special education programs. For next year, the district is projecting $17,632,361 in revenue, compared to $16,802,432 this year.
All around the county, the state and the country, you hear of school districts having to slash AP and enrichment programs, sports, art, music and theater - literally anything that is not absolutely mandated.
Remarkably, not only have we retained such important programs here - the programs that make going to school fun, teach important life skills and instill pride, achievement and self-confidence even among students who struggle academically - but this budget allows the district to begin offering Earth Science, a lab science, to every 8th grader next year and expand technology in the classroom with widespread use of i-Pads (lease rather than purchase to keep the expense down).
It also allows an allocation of almost $100,000 to secondary schools to cover course sections that might otherwise be in jeopardy.
Most significantly, the budget allows Great Neck to maintain the low class size that has been the hallmark of the district and the root of the district's academic success. No kindergarten will have more than 19 students; first and second grades will not be larger than 22; and third, fourth and fifth will have no more than 24 students.
The budget also provides for $3,532,000 in building and facility repairs and projects, as basic as replacing doors and boilers, flooring and roofs.
Here's another measure of how well the finances of this district are managed: Great Neck is one of only 23 out of the state's 4,700 municipalities with a Triple A bond rating, and only 8 of them are school districts (and Manhasset and Scarsdale are in danger of being downgraded because of weakened reserves).
However, regardless of how small the increase in the tax levy is, taxpayers will likely see a greater than 1.97% increase. This is beyond the school district's control - even if they cut the budget, taxpayers would still see an increase. This is because of continued decline in assessed valuation in Great Neck - it was $56,776,080 in 2009-10 and has fallen steadily to $42,339,105 (that is like a total pie shrinking in size, so we all have to pay more). It is also because we all wind up paying for the tax certioraris that your neighbors have won (more than one-third file and 87% of them succeed, Newsday reported).
That has caused resentment among taxpayers that the district, a careful steward of our tax money, does not deserve.
Another key component to recognize is that our enrollment has been steadily rising, not falling - though the tax cap does not take enrollment into account.
"We were constantly being told that schools are shrinking," Dr. Dolan said "The governor said there is no need for an increase in state aid because schools are getting smaller. But not so. There has been a consistent pattern of growth and while we can't predict who will be here, the 5-year projection is for continued growth and the projections have been right on."
It is typical for Great Neck schools that students who start in kindergarten go all through to 12th grade. What is unusual is that many children are entering the district's schools at the middle school and high school levels. And secondary education is more costly to provide than elementary (another factor not considered in the tax cap).
The overwhelming reason why families move to Great Neck is our public schools, and that is because of the high rates of success.
Newsday did a recent article cheering how 53.6 percent of Long Island's graduating seniors in the class of 2013 received Regents Diplomas with Advanced Designation, up from 47.7 percent of graduates the prior year.
At Great Neck South, 99% earned Regents diploma, 89% earned Advanced Regents diploma, 1% an IEP diploma.
For Great Neck North, 97% earned Regents diploma, 77% earned Advanced Regents diploma, and 5% earned IEP diploma, last year.
What is even more notable is the extraordinarily high rates of graduation for students who are deemed "at risk," who likely would have been intentionally pushed out of public schools in other districts because these students tend to bring down the district scores and cause scorn to be heaped on administrators and faculty.
So it is notable that Village School, which caters to students who struggle in a conventional school setting and are at risk for dropping out despite their abilities, 100% earned Regents diplomas - 70.6% are going on to college and another 29.4% are going on to military service or jobs.
"This is for kids for whom the cells and bells of traditional high school don't work – they are smarter, go to great colleges, they take Regents level courses, laboratory sciences, but they are the square pegs," noted Dr. Stephen C. Lando, Assistant Superintendent for Secondary Education.
Great Neck has been a leader in alternative education going back to the 1970s when the Village School was formed.
One of the most remarkable programs that Great Neck offers is the SEAL (Supportive Education for All Learners) Academy. Here, 25 students - "the most challenging students you will ever meet" - are educated by 5.4 full-time-equivalent teachers plus a psychologist who also serves as a coordinator.
Despite the intense focus of faculty, it's still cost-effective because it would cost the district more to send these students to BOCEs or other programs that are "similar but less effective" or even home teaching, Lando told the Great Neck Village Officials Association.
"This program saves lives - a child of 14 or 15 who would otherwise have been out looking for work, or suicidal."
But what do the comparisons mean anyway? Dr. William Shine, who was GNPS superintendent when the Accountability Movement was codified as No Child Left Behind, forewarned that the purpose of publishing the results in the newspaper would invite "invidious" comparisons even though a difference of one or two students can shift a ranking two or three places and people do not even understand how the rankings are determined, and be used in establishing home values. But it is precisely this comparison that George W. Bush wanted and encouraged.
Publishing the test results, George W. Bush said, would "show us whether or not you're achieving objectives with all this money we're sending you… so all parents, all teachers, can monitor progress of their local schools, their schools relative to other schools in the neighborhood, the schools relative to schools from county to county…an effective measurement system is one that says, oh, by the way, here are the results for everybody to see—not just a few people…We want full disclosure…" That way, "If you're fixing to move from point X to Florida…you'll be able to get on the Internet and you can determine whether the school in your particular neighborhood, how it's faring relative to other schools…" (Sept. 9, 2003)
Such statistics, invites a misplaced obsession with rankings, and, as Dr. Dolan noted, result in people looking at kids "in a sterile way," when the district prefers to look at students as individuals.
Because of the way the property tax cap is formulated, decisions today have impact year after year. The School Board did something very important: it looked six years out to see the impacts on the budget of the property tax freeze, taking into account significant changes and potential pressures on the budget. The reason It projects six years out, instead of the customary five, is because in that year, bonds will be paid off so less expenditure will go to debt service. In the perverse way the property tax cap is figured, debt service is not counted in setting the cap, so municipalities are actually penalized when they do not bond and incur interest expense.
Also, in contrast with most public school districts, school enrollment in Great Neck has been steadily rising, but the property tax formula does not take that into account at all. At some point, that alone forces school districts to increase class size, something that generations of Great Neckers have said was anathema.
Also keep in mind that the tax cap is limited to 2% or the CPI, whichever is lower - so if inflation kicks in again, we are at a loss, and if inflation doesn't kick in, we are still at a loss.
In the 6th year, for example, Powell is forecasting that the tax levy will only be able to rise 1.26%, but you can imagine that expenses - salaries, health and pension contributions - will likely exceed that rate.
"We are trying to prepare for the future by being exceptionally watchful.... We are not going to lay off 100 teachers because of a possible increase in pension cost. But there is a balance and we need to be aware and stress the need for a frugal use of resources," trustee Lawrence Gross said.
Newsday's article about the graduation rates pointed to the "guarded response" to Long Island's strong showing in graduation rates. "Some noted that schools in Nassau and Suffolk counties face an uncertain future as they try to boost achievement while also coping with state cap limitations on local property taxes.
"'I'm glad they are up -- obviously, that's helpful,' Roger Tilles of Great Neck, a member of the state Board of Regents, said of the latest diploma figures. 'The question is, will they continue to go up?'"
It's truly odd that public education seems to be the only area on the planet where lawmakers believe the amount of money invested does not correlate with results - we certainly don't see such an argument when it comes to CEO pay or military spending.
Our district though, has managed to stay above the fray, and by investing in low-class size and small schools, universal pre-K, academic intervention services along with enrichment opportunities, and extra-curriculars. It has preserved the ideal that is fundamental to its mission: to educate each child according to their own ability to fulfill their full potential. More than that, our district holds to the approach to teach the skills of problem solving, innovation, critical thinking and instill a lifelong love of learning.
That, more than anything else, is why our students are so successful in their schooling here and in their lives.
And it starts with the school budget which makes the ideal a reality.
North High Principal Bernard Kaplan, who has been in the district for 20 years reflected after one of the budget workshops, "In my lifetime, I have never seen an assault on public education like this – a poisonous atmosphere....
"Free and public education is not just important to Great Neck but is the basic foundation of a democratic society: it brings every child from every religion, contingency together to learn. When young people come from different races and backgrounds they not only learn to respect each other, but how to work together.
"Attention has focused on how all the wealth is going to the 1%," Kaplan said. "The vehicle for social and economic mobility is education – we believe if you work hard in school, regardless of background, and you get help and support from caring teachers and school board, you can make it in America and can go from poor to rich. That's the promise of American dream.
"And finally free and public education is important because that is an informed citizenry our country depends on. Every child needs to know what it means to vote and to question authority. [It is a privilege] to have school district that honors that."
This is a budget that protects our investment in our homes, our community, our children and our future, and it warrants our support.
Voting takes place on Tuesday, May 20, 7 a.m.-10 p.m.,

B-CU Bounces SSU 3-0 Behind Gardner, Cormier
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 09/30/2012
By Dan Ryan
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - With Krysta Gardner's chase for her 1,000th kill finally over, the next landmark stat for Bethune-Cookman to achieve was putting something in the win column. The Lady Cats did that Sunday afternoon a 3-0 (25-21,25-12,25-16) victory over Savannah State Sunday afternoon in Historic Moore Gymnasium.
Gardner had 12 kills and eight digs while Aria Cormier added seven kills and hit .636 as Bethune-Cookman snapped its 19-match losing streak dating back to last season. B-CU (1-18 overall, 1-1 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference South) managed a split of its conference opening weekend matches .
"We played fundamentally sound all the way through the match," said B-CU Head Coach Isaac Raphael. "The girls were having fun."
Gardner's now going after the career kill record of 1,060 held by Melissa Sanders. Cormier's putting her name in the record book via single-match accomplishments.
With no errors in 11 attempts, Cormier's attack percentage was the fifth-best single match total in program history. The junior has had two top ten single-match block total this season as well.
She and freshman Delicia Pierre gave B-CU a solid presence in the middle, combining for five block assists.
"It's nice to be able to get the middle involved," Raphael said. "If the middle is efficient, the outside hitters won't have to swing as much and will be less fatigued. Aria had a very good day.
Cormier was simply glad to get the "W."
"We still had confidence, we just needed a match like this," Cormier said. "I love being 1-1 in conference."
Pierre and Janeen Davis added five kills apiece, while Monica Lowe finished with 22 assists and two services aces. Rhea Simon also had two service aces, and Phylecia Armstrong had three kills and two blocks.
B-CU pulled away from a 10-10 tie in the first set. After a Tiger serve error, Lowe had two aces on a four-point run that put B-CU ahead the rest of the set.
Gardner's five-point service run gave B-CU a 7-1 lead in the second set. The Lady Cats also jumped out to a big lead (8-1) in the third.
Bryana Gadis led Savannah State (0-18,0-2) with eight kills.
B-CU travels to North Carolina A&T Friday.

Sallie Gary Holden, of Gulfport, MS, was the guest speaker at the Charleston (MS) Arts Revitalization Effort (CARE) on Tuesday, March 9 in at the CARE Building in Charleston, MS. Holden, who had driven from Gulfport was one of 62 people in attendance that came from as far away as Memphis, TN, Oxford, MS, and Greenwood, MS to view art on sale by Clarkdale, MS artist Kim Wong and learn about a piece of Charleston history.
Holden is the great-granddaughter of Colonel Tom James, a local legend and she told of his life and accomplishments as well as his famous hog, Scissors. Scissors is a part of the area lore and even has a monument erected in his honor in front of his house as you enter town from the west. Scissors was named the world's largest hog two years running in 1917 & 1918. The Memphis Commercial Appeal even wrote of his legend three different times in the 1970's, so great was his fame. The rotund swine weighed in anywhere from 1,250 to 1,800 pounds depending upon what source one asks.
Glenna Callender, the Executive Director of CARE said the event was held to educate residents about its history and heritage as well as promote art from local artists. She deemed the meeting a great success even though she wished more young people had attended. "Charleston is a close-knit town", added the President of CARE, Louanne Cossar. "We are trying to build upon the town's history and success to keep people here and to attract new residents."

After the my last post, it appears that you appreciate any pointers to further icon resources, so I thought I'd share some more info with you.
You can find a plethora of icons - even free ones - all over the internet. The only thing that you need to make sure of is the correct attribution or license use, but usually that's not much of an issue.
Hongkiat compiled a whole bunch of icon sets for varying use, which you can find on their blog. A lot of them try to imitate the 3D look of the past decades, however, there are quite a lot of 2D, modern style icons that you can easily use in your apps.
Another really great site - and I can't repeat this often enough - is The Noun Project. Here you find many icons of different styles and variations for your convenience. They come as vector images, too, so you can scale them easily to fit all your apps' tile sizes. Each icon has their own license though, so make sure you check the conditions before using them.
Last but not least: Icon Monstr. Lots of free, modern style icons.
Feel free to leave more (free) icon resources that you find valuable in the comments :)
I would kindly suggest www.syncfusion.com/.../metrostudio
which is one of the best applications I've ever seen for Metro icons ! <3
You should also check http://www.iconspedia.com, they have thousands of icons

PK Subban insists he's just happy to be back on the ice and has no timetable for returning to the Canadiens lineup.
For a "scrubs only" gameday skate firing pucks at backup goalie Peter Budaj along with Yannick Weber and Mike Blunden, the other healthy scratches for the game against the Senators tonite in Ottawa, it was another important step for PK.
He met up with teammates at their hotel this morning in Kanata before heading to the rink.
"I missed my teammates," Subban said, a day after the players all seemed to low-key things with the media in Montreal.
An overwhelming majority of voters on the Canadiens Poll suggested Subban must tone down his outgoing personality off the ice and only a slim majority approved of the suggestion "let PK be PK."

Looks like a nice and fun spec to use, but you do know that HS is just a normal attack that requires weapon, thus it is mitigated by armor and such. So I think armor penetration should be needed for this spec as it would not be doing as much damage, and by the way, for optimal DPS go in blood presence since you really need the 15% increased damage moreover then haste in unholy presence.
I like that spec, and gonna try it out when I am upgeared with a good 2 hander. I wouldn't try this spec if you got a bad 2 hander no, only if you got a great one like the titansteel destroyer or demise, but otherwise then that it looks like a fun spec to try out, it is more a one-on-one spec rather then a AoE so that is rather disappointing so you won't be getting high damage output then a HB spec since now of this patch, CC isn't that important anymore and everyon AoE the shit out lol. But good try nonetheless.

Concord, Warsaw win in Elkhart Sectional baseball semifinals
The Minutemen beat Elkhart Memorial 7-2 and the Tigers topped Northridge 7-3. The championship is slated for 6 p.m. Monday, June 2.
ELKHART — Concord saw its confidence grow with early success.
Warsaw strung hits together for a five-run third inning.
Concord beat Elkhart Memorial 7-2 and Warsaw topped Northridge 7-3 Saturday, May 31, in the semifinals of the Class 4A Elkhart Sectional at Memorial's Charger Field.
Concord beat NLC opponent Memorial again (the squads split the first two meetings).
The Minutemen (14-15) and Tigers (11-15) are scheduled to play for the championship at 6 p.m. Monday, June 2. The two Northern Lakes Conference clubs split two games during the regular season (8-1 Warsaw and 5-3 Concord).
Brenden Curry doubled and later scored on a mishandled ball in the outfield to spot Concord to 1-0 lead in the second inning.
"To push that one across for us was huge," said Minutemen coach Jim Treadway. "Once we broke through, we believed we could score some runs."
Curry drove in three runs and also pitched a two-hitter with six strikeouts.
"That's a good team," said Treadway of Memorial (17-12-1). "Curry did an unbelievable job of keeping them off-balance."
"(Curry) was effectively erratic," said Chargers coach Scott Rost. "He was in the zone enough to get us swinging and — at the same time — he was erratic enough that we had trouble squaring it up consistently."
There were plenty of offensive chances for Northridge (16-12), which collected 11 hits against Warsaw. The Raiders left nine baserunners on base, including six at either second or third base with two each stranded in the second, third and fourth innings.
Justin Oberlin knocked in three runs and Brandon Shipp plated two for the Tigers.
Sam Troyer had two hits, including a double, and scored two bases and scored one run for Northridge.

College Hockey:Hartlieb Leads Miami Past Bowling Green
MIAMI, Ohio — Ernie Hartlieb scored two goals, including the eventual game-winner, as Miami beat Bowling Green 4-2 Friday night. In snapping its own streak of two consecutive losses, Miami also halted BG's two-game win streak.
Miami jumped out to a 1-0 lead midway through the first. With Mark Wires in the penalty box for charging, RedHawk forward Evan Cheverie threw a pass in front of the Falcon net. Pat Leahy redirected Cheverie's shot past goalie Tyler Masters on the glove side for the score. Bart Stevens also garnered an assist on Leahy's fifth of the year at 11:32.
The power-play marker ended Bowling Green's consecutive penalty kills at 23.
Five minutes later, Hartlieb extended the RedHawk lead to two with his seventh goal of the season. Jason Deskins and Gregor Krajnc were awarded assists on the play.
Hartlieb struck again early in the second period to give Miami a three-goal advantage. As Masters tried to corral a loose puck in front of the net, Hartlieb was able to knock it past the BG netminder. Krajnc and Deskins earned their second points of the night on Hartlieb's eighth of the campaign.
Bowling Green answered two minutes later when Greg Day deflected a Louis Mass shot past Miami goal keeper David Burleigh. Day's even-strength marker was his team-leading 17th of the season.
Miami's Gregor Krajnc took advantage of a scramble in front of the net to slide a backhand past Masters at 11:12. Masters stopped the initial shot by MU defenseman Brian Sipotz, but was unable to hold the rebound away from Krajnc. Deskins earned his third point of the contest with an assist on the play.
Sophomore Tyler Knight rounded out the scoring 5:48 into the third. Defenseman Brian Escobedo's shot pulled Burleigh out of position and Knight was able to shoot the rebound into an empty net.
Masters stopped 30 shots for the Falcons, while Burleigh made 32 saves for Miami.
Bowling Green's record stands at 8-13-4 (3-10-4 CCHA), while Miami holds a 12-11-2 mark (9-7-1 CCHA). The Falcons and the RedHawks square off again Saturday night at Miami's Goggin Arena, with faceoff at 7:35 p.m.

Girls Soccer: Quaker Valley knocks off defending state champions
Moon may still be the reigning PIAA Class AA champion, but Quaker Valley appears to be the new favorite in Class AA Section 5. The No. 4-ranked Quakers knocked off the No. 5-ranked Tigers 2-1 on Wednesday in a battle of unbeaten teams in the section. Moon only lost two games all of last season and it swept the season series against Quaker Valley, outscoring the Quakers 10-1.
Quaker Valley was led by senior forward Greer Monahan who netted both goals. Monahan is one of the top returning goal scorers in the WPIAL. She scored just minutes the game. Moon responded like a defending state champion is apt to do and equalized in the first half on a penalty kick but Monahan came through with the game winner midway through the second half.
Quaker Valley (9-0, 5-0) now sits atop the section ahead of Moon (7-1, 4-1) and Montour (5-2-1, 4-1-1).

The game plan laid by Nik Aziz and supported by Anwar has caught Umno by surprise.
The move to call for a ŌĆ£muzakarahŌĆØ or dialogue with Umno by Kelantan Menteri Besar and PAS Mursyidul Am (spiritual adviser), Nik Aziz Nik Mat, came as a surprise to many.
However, as the events unfolded, it is now proven to be a very well planned attempt to steer Umno out of its recent ŌĆ£feel-goodŌĆØ factor into more troublesome waters.
The initial reaction by Umno on the offer by Nik Aziz was to open the door for a resumption of the abandoned PAS-Umno unity talks.
Then came the conditions imposed by the PAS Mursyidul Am which upset Umno and sent many of its leaders into a ŌĆ£vitriolicŌĆØ demonisation of PAS.
This included Dr Mahathir Mohamad who warned Umno to approach the PAS-Umno talks with caution. Umno leaders quickly ridiculed the ŌĆ£conditionsŌĆØ laid before them by Nik Aziz.
Utusan Malaysia, the Umno Malay language mouthpiece, carried several articles on the PAS-Umno talks in which the Umno leaders were flabbergasted by Nik AzizŌĆÖs conditional approach to these talks.
They were shell-shocked that the PAS leader from Kelantan gave the impression that he was determined to discuss with Umno but made a sudden turnaround to impose ŌĆ£ridiculousŌĆØ conditions for the talks.
What Umno has not seen yet is the impact of the attack plan orchestrated most probably by both Nik Aziz and Anwar Ibrahim, the two topmost leaders of Pakatan Rakyat.
Knowing the powers of persuasion of Nik Aziz and his unique approach in handling the political scenarios in the country, the seemingly sudden U-turn was to be expected.
It was impossible for Nik Aziz to make the offer for ŌĆ£unityŌĆØ talks without knowing the shock wave it would bring both to Pakatan and the Umno. It was also not on his own personal accord as both Anwar and Nik Aziz have been coordinating and charting the Pakatan work charts in tandem.
The comments by Anwar, published on FMT on the PAS-Umno unity talks, indicated that he had full control of the situation.
Nik Aziz would not talk of PAS-Umno muzakarah with the intent to ŌĆ£destroyŌĆØ Pakatan. On the contrary, the fact that Anwar said he supported the talks and that these were to ŌĆ£teachŌĆØ Umno to stop cheating in the polls, not to be cruel and to eliminate corruption showed his perfect communion with Nik Aziz.
Despite the denial by PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang that PAS ever made such offers for fresh talks with Umno, the fact remains that Nik Aziz achieved a few political gymnastics with the issue.
Nik Aziz's game plan
While Hadi was wise to ŌĆ£rejectŌĆØ the offer of a dialogue ŌĆō he suggested that Umno cleans itself and cleans up the electoral roll before talking to PAS ŌĆō others failed to see through.
Former PAS deputy president, Nasharuddin Mat Isa, was in the news when a minister and a top Umnoputera attended the wedding ceremony of his daughter.
Nasharuddin made clear-cut statements that indicated he was still very supportive of a PAS-Umno union and targeted what he called ŌĆ£parasitesŌĆØ who were stopping this union.
This, according to Nik Aziz, indicated that there are still some within PAS who want to steer the party into the arms of the BN coalition.
Nonetheless, the strategy by Nik Aziz was to throw down the ŌĆ£IslamicŌĆØ gauntlet to Umno. The latter, which virulently rejected the PAS conditions, showed its fear of being tagged an ŌĆ£IslamicŌĆØ party.
One of Nik AzizŌĆÖs conditions is that Umno must turn into an Islamic party first before it talks to PAS. The rejection of this condition by Umno clearly showed its ŌĆ£concernsŌĆØ over issues that are dear to PAS such as hudud.
Now that Anwar has said PAS-Umno talks should go on in order to teach ŌĆ£IslamŌĆØ to the latter, Umno's rejection of this (line of thinking) will make it look anti-Islamic.
The impact on Umno will be felt when it faces the rural electorate, with PAS as the driving force in the rural areas. On the Malay mainland, Islam plays an important part of the ŌĆ£electoralŌĆØ battle.
Nik Aziz's game plan, supported by Anwar, has caught Umno off-guard. After it claims great success for its 66th anniversary at the Bukit Jalil stadium, the party is now in a fix over the ŌĆ£IslamŌĆØ issue, which will be exploited by PAS.

Alumni Success Story
EPGA Alumna Working with Doctors Without Borders in India
With a degree in Ethics, Peace and Global Affairs (EPGA) and years of experience as a pediatric nurse, Michelle Mays, KSB/MA '08, has begun a year-long position with Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) with plenty of tools in her toolbox. Michelle is working in Manipur, India, where there is a long-standing multi-faceted conflict. As a nurse, she has joined a team of international staff who work closely with a large number of local staff on multiple issues, including HIV, TB, maternal child health, mental health, and other basic health care needs.
Michelle cites the coursework she completed in the EPGA program as invaluable in anticipation of her new job, having better prepared her to work cross-culturally in a complex conflict context. Additionally, several international trips also provided opportunities to connect what she was learning in the classroom to conflicts around the world and helped prepare her for her current position in India. During her two years in the program, Michelle traveled to Bosnia on a human rights delegation, conducted research in Israel and Palestine, and spent time in India with a medical team.
She also capitalized on her time in the program by getting involved in several student-led organizations that provided opportunities for skill building and networking within and beyond the AU community. During her two years in the EPGA Program, Michelle held leadership roles in the Society for Ethics, Peace, and Global Affairs as well as the Society for Peace and Conflict Resolution. Through these positions, she created workshops on navigating job hunting in the field, services opportunities, and community building projects at AU and with students in similar programs throughout the DC area. She also facilitated dialogue groups on religion and politics with the Dialogue Development Group, worked as a Graduate Assistant for Professor Abu-Nimer, and completed her EPGA M.A. with a concentration in peace and conflict resolution. For her commitment to human rights, she received the Brady Tyson Award from the School of International Service. She is now enjoying spending an entire year in a community, a contrast to her previous trips abroad, which ranged from a few weeks to a few months.

Ankara is getting involved in a fresh bid to end the four-year schism between Serbia's two Islamic communities.
Turkey has intervened to end the damaging split between Serbia's two rival Islamic communities, one based in Belgrade and the other in the mainly Bosniak [Muslim] southwest Sandzak region.
"The solution lies in one unique Islamic community, which will respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia and cooperate with all other churches and religious communities in Serbia and the region," Sulejman Ugljanin, a Serbian government minister, who is himelf a Muslim, announced.
It is understood that a Turkish-mediated agreement is to be signed by the two heads of the two Serbian Islamic communities and the head of the Muslim community in neighbouring Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The split dates back to 2007. The Islamic Community in Serbia, based in Novi Pazar, the biggest town in Sandzak, looks to neighbouring Bosnia for spiritual guidance and is led by Muamer Zukorlic. The Islamic Community of Serbia, based in Belgrade, is led by Adem Zilkic.
In the last four years, relations between the two sides have been burdened by mutual non-recognition, a good deal of name-calling and even fisticuffs between their respective supporters.
This is not the first time Turkey has tried to play a mediating role in the affairs of Serbia's Muslim minority.
The Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davatoglu attempted to heal the breach on a visit to Novi Pazar two years ago. A Turkish delegation headed by Turkey's ambassador to Serbia, Ali Riza Colak, visited Novi Pazar again this June.
The latest attempt follows a visit by a Serbian government delegation to Ankara on October 10 where Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan received minister Ugljanin and Rasim Ljajic, Labour and Social Policy Minister, also a Muslim, to discuss Turkey's investments in the Sandzak area. Both ministers are declared supporters of Zilkic.
According to a statement issued after the meeting, Erdogan said Turkey would donate 10 million euros to build an airport in Sandzak and another 30 million euros to build a new road from Novi Pazar to the town of Sjenica.
Media reported after the meeting that Turkey had conditioned further assistance to Sandzak on the two Islamic communities in Serbia agreeing to reunite.
Mufti Zukorlic has hitherto rebuffed all talk of reconciliation, but this time his spokesperson Samir Tandir told Balkan Insight that serious talks were ongoing, although he declined to disclose details.
Zukorlic "will respect whatever decision the supreme leaders of the Islamic Community of Bosnia and Turkey make," Tandir said.
Bosnian meat producers anticipate new business opportunities in Turkey, after the authorities in Ankara agreed to buy around 6,000 tons of meat from the country.
The Turkish President's visit to Croatia this week will shore up Turkey's position in Europe, while raising hopes of benefits for Turkish exporters and tourism industry.
Turkey's state-run Anadolu press agency opened a Macedonian-language service that will also publish news in Albanian.
Erdogan's admirers in mainly Muslim parts of the Balkans took to the streets to celebrate the victory of his Justice and Development party, which won back its Turkish parliamentary majority.
Serbian government has protested over the way the Turkish embassy in Serbia was presented on the Turkish Foreign Ministry website, though experts doubt the spat will harm long-term ties.
Serbia's relations with Turkey are crucial for the Balkans, experts told a forum in Belgrade on Wednesday - although they did not all agree on Turkey's future role in the region.
On a visit to Sarajevo, Recep Tayyip Erdogan has shown the extent of Turkish support for Bosnia - while some suspect the visit is designed also to boost the hand of Erdogan's main Bosnian ally, Bakir Izetbegovic.
A newly-formed ethnic Albanian party in Macedonia has denied allegations that it is a 'subsidiary' of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's ruling Justice and Development Party.
Turkish Airlines has indicated that it is willing to assist Macedonia set up its own national airline, following the demise of Macedonian Airlines several years ago.
Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said he "wants to believe" that Recep Tayyip Erdogan did not say that anyone who dares upset Bosniaks will have to face 100 million Turks.

According to Francesca Crolley, Industrial Nanotech's VP of Business Development, introducing universities and hospitals to energy-saving coatings has improved the company's portfolio of markets. He added that the company's efforts in cutting down energy usage in steam processing systems will bring significant benefits to hospitals and universities. The company is currently engaged in discussions with 16 universities and a number of hospitals to install the product.
Crolley added that the company had earlier assisted Erenko Textile to reduce its energy consumption by 20% and save a total of 10% in production costs. It also allowed Henateks Textile, a sports apparel producing company, to cut down the level of its liquid natural gas consumption to 20%, saving around $852,437.00 US in 2007 and 2008.

So as I kicked her into trot i dropped my reins to show off to my mum (looking back this was STUPID of me) and my rein got caught on the stirrups, jen then thought it would be fun to go into a fast canter. luckily the fence was nearby and I grabbed enough rein to stop her, was very fast lol I honestly thought i was going to fall

Many times an application will have problems working with PDF files. The sources of the problems are even more numerous than the applications. QuickBooks, an accounting package published by Intuit, is no exception.
Universally, just about every software package that creates an output in PDF format to either save, email or transfer via other electronic means has its own PDF print driver. Some are proprietary drivers developed in-house and some are licensed from other sources and customized or tweaked to run smoothly with the software package.
Sometimes the problem is found when you have another PDF print driver (like Adobe PDF printer) or program installed on your computer.
There are often conflicts between them. Sometimes, the problem arises when another driver gets updated or freshly installed. Many times just removing and re-installing the custom print driver will solve the problem. Other times, removal of other PDF drivers are necessary in order to make the program work correctly.
To solve such a problem, you should usually update to the latest versions of the programs and drivers and trying the problem operation again. Often bugs are resolved in the latest release version.
QuickBooks has identified four major causes of not being able to print or email PDF files:
- The QuickBooks PDF Converter settings are not compatible with some settings on some 64-bit versions of Windows 7, Vista, or XP operating systems.
- There is a conflict with the FaxTalk Communicator software.
- The QuickBooks PDF Converter is selected as the default printer in Windows.
- A damaged form template needs to be replaced.
They offer two sets of solutions besides the most common one of updating everything to the latest version. The first solution is using their QuickBooks PDF Diagnostic Tool. It is interesting that Intuit has developed a tool just for troubleshooting and fixing PDF problems.
The next solution is a manual step-by-step procedure that varies with the version of QuickBooks and your particular operating system. See their Solution 3 toward the bottom of their support document SLN40733.

NORTH VANCOUVER, BC – Rising junior, Holly Stewart, who has been one of the most dominant field hockey players in the America East conference, will have a chance, once again, to dominate on a national stage, as she was one of 20 players to be named to the Canadian national team, announced yesterday afternoon. Stewart, who has played for the Canadian junior and senior teams, will compete in a seven-match tournament at the end of the month.
Team Canada will be competing against England and Wales in a series held April 27 through May 7, with matches held in various points in England. These games will attempt to get Canada's world ranking up and serve as preparation matches for the World Cup later this summer.
Stewart is listed as one of six forwards on the roster while she one of five members from Field Hockey Canada's home base of North Vancouver, BC.
Stewart began her international career when she competed in the USA-Canada Challenge as a part of the junior U17 women's team on April 4-8. She has since competed in Buenos Aires, Argentina for the 2012 Argentina Tour from May 24 to June 3, 2012. She continued in Surrey BC for Mexico vs. Canada on June 18-20, 2012, and finished the year with a swath of games in Europe from July 4 through 21, and the 2012 Pan Am junior championships from Sept. 10-23 in Guadalajara, Mexico.
In 2013 Stewart competed in Dublin, Ireland at the 2013 Ireland Tour (June 17 to July 3) for the senior women's team and added the 2013 women's junior world cup games from July 27 to August 4, to her already lengthy resume.
Stewart scored her first international goal in just her second game playing with her junior squad at the USA-Canada series on April 4, 2012. Stewart's goal in the 12th minute of play helped give Canada its first win in the series.

Arms: Argent on a fess sable between three eagles displayed azure as many crescents of the field.
Translation: A white shield with three silver crescents on a black bar between three blue eagles displayed.
Coats of arms originated as motifs borne on the shields of knights in armour in order that they could be identified on the battlefield ~ These 'armorials' were formalized and recorded by herald from the 13th century onwards with crests and mottos later supplementing the arms. The language of heraldry is of great antiquity and it is from such ancient history that a decorative representation may be portrayed.
The WAKELY Blazon of Arms is recorded in Burke's General Armoury.
The surname WAKELY is a locational name for "one from Wakeley" in Hertfordshire meaning "soft or wet meadow".
Early Historical Example: Roger Wakeley, 1332, Subsidy Rolls.
David Linstead Heraldry - England
All the following text regarding 'The First Wakelys and Their Times: 1300-1500', the informative text, trees and maps regarding 'Wakelys off the Main Tree'/Other Wakelys'/The Wakely Area' and the notes on the generations included with the individual ancestors - down to Abraham Wakely 1733-1774 Yeoman of Burstock - is the work of Mr.J.R.Wakely of London SE27, He has made a long and serious study of the Wakelys and has lodged his work with both the Society of Genealogists in London and the Dorset County Records Office in Dorchester. it consists of Vol.l (1988) and Vo1.3 revisions and additions (1991) from which certain relevant portions have been extracted to compile this current history, adding it to the research done by D.R.Lennard for his wife Olive Kate Wakely, her siblings and paternal cousins - the descendants of the line of Wakelys coming down from the above named Abraham Wakely of Burstock.
Hertfordshire origins
In the British Library there is a List of the Knights who attended the Third Crusade at the end of the 12th Century under the leadership of King Richard Coeur de Lion. Among these was Sir Roger Wakely, the first recorded holder of the name.
Surname studies agree the name is derived from a small Hertfordshire manor, now subsumed in the Parish of Westmill which lies halfway between Stevenage and Bishops Stortford. Whether or not they were descended from Sir Roger himself, it is thought the Wakelys of Dorset, Richard and Roger, also came from this manor. Its history therefore is both a part of, and a beginning, for the family history that follows. Whether the Wakelys were of Saxon or Norman origins, it is quite possible that their marriages connected them with the original inhabitants of Wakeley.
The timing of the original foundation of the settlement cannot now be established. It may have been of Roman date - Roman Stane Street passes close by. There is a large tumulus which also suggests some ancient human settlement and the Historian of Westmill and others hold to the theory that this mound gave the seltlement its name.
'Wakeley' according to this interpretation is a composite word for the field (ley) of the funeral feast (wake) of some local chief i.e. the tumulus was his burial mound. Another interpretation says that the Old English 'waeccan' watcher- or to stay awake) and 'leah' (meadow or wet clearing in a woodland) describes the occupation of someone who was responsible for looking after a clearing, meadow or some other land that had possible social, religious or agricultural significance.
The fact that Wakeley still survives as a place name on modern maps is something of a miracle and is only possible in a deeply traditionalist culture. The settlement seems to have been deserted in the latter middle ages. The lands that once constituted the manor are now a single farm all that is left bearing the name Wakeley on Hertfordshire signposts.
The best information on the lands of the manor comes from the Domesday Book - where the name is spelled Wachelei. The manor was then equally divided into three holdings of forty acres. This unusual division pre-dated the Norman Conquest and some historians believe it indicated that the manor was split between three brothers. Whatever the precise status of the three holders in the time of Edward the Confessor, they were free to sell the lands and were themselves legally free.
They do not appear to have kept their title after the Norman Conquest:- The Saxon, Eddiva the Fair, on one holding was replaced by one Ralf, who held his land from the Count of Brittany. Aelfward, one of Earl Harold's men, lost out to Robert, who held a third of Wachelei along with two nearby holdings from the Count of Boulogne. Edric, one of Earl Aelfgar's men, lost his holding to Tetbald (Theobald) who held it with three other small estates from Hardouin de Scalers.
Each holding was self-sufficient. There was enough land for one plough; meadow enough for two oxen; and wood enough for fencing on each. The condition of the land had deteriorated on Ralf's portion: it had been worth twenty shillings under King Edward, and was only worth ten by Domesday. Robert's land kept its pre-Conquest value of five shillings. Tetbald - whose land had dropped from a pre-Conquest value of fifteen shillings to seven - had managed to get the value up to fifteen again.
These differences may owe something to the availability of labour. There were seven cottars on Tetbald's land who were doubtless made to work on restoring its value; nane are mentioned on Robert's holding - maybe his Saxon predecessor Aelfward had worked it with his family, or the servants had fled or been killed; on Ralf's portion there was one sokeman (essentially free) and one serf, so he like Robert, seemed to have had labour problems.
From one or more of these. Saxon or Norman, landowner or tenant, slave or free, the Wakelys quite probably descended.
The mid-fourteenth century gives the next picture of Wakeley/Wakelegh, perhaps forty or so years after the Wakely ancestor had gone to Dorset. The Lay Subsidy Roll (tax return) for 1341 shows that Wakeley had much of its land unploughed. Probably this resulted from the succession of murrains that had killed off livestock over the preceding years and the accompanying scourge of severe droughts. For a small settlement like Wakeley, these twin disasters were the beginning of the end: one hundred years later it had completely disappeared. However, advanced archaelogical techniques allow us to place it and to a certain extent we can describe it and its situation.
Wakeley seems to have been a small street village. The evidence for this is the house platforms that can clearly be seen along the south side of the route of the old track from Cherry Green in neighbouring Westmill. This is now a sunken way running through a field past one pond to another. The second pond must have been near the village centre as the mound which is all that remains of the church is beside it. As Hertfordshire was rich in timber, no stone foundations survive, and nothing can therefore be said about the layout of the houses, nor is there any clue as to where the three lords lived.
Wakeley began as a small place and evidently remained so until its final disappearance as a settlement. From the Domesday evidence the land was good - meadowland was rare and valuable in Hertfordshire. It fetched a price in the fourteenth century six times that of ordinary arable land. Someone who left before the murrains and droughts of the mid-fourteenth century and who had profited from the prosperity of the thirteenth century might have 'done all right'.
This judgement seems to fit with the three presumed fourteenth century emigrants to Dorset from the manor or village of Wakely:- Richard, the prosperous resident of Hawkchurch in West Dorset; his contemporary Roger of More Crichel in East Dorset - both having left well before the troubles of the fourth decade of the fourteenth century and, the third, John, perhaps one generation their junior, a rich London merchant who died in the third quarter of the century.
Given the size of Wakeley, and inheritance of manorial rights is known, it is probably correct to see these three presumed emigrants as either descendants of the one remaining Saxon freeman of the manor, or of a younger son of one of the lords who, like manorial officials often did, made a good thing out of managing the lord's business. The Wakelys were probably, therefore, in Hertfordshire more or less exactly what they were to emerge as in Dorset - Yeomen.
The first Wakelys of Dorset
Hawkchurch, the village where Richard de Wakelegh' <wakely-sheet-1.html> was established, and More Chrichel, where his contemporary Roger lived, were at opposite ends of Dorset county - Hawkchurch an the Devon border, More Chrichel near the border with Hampshire.
Richard and Roger were both christian names introduced by the Normans, but that is not to say the two were necessarily of Norman origin. Most of their neighbours (or at least those rich enough to pay taxes) also had Norman names. It is possible that Richard and/or Roger were the descendants of the crusading knight of a century before - but no more probable than a similarly conjectural descent from King Richard Coeur de Lion of another Dorsetman - he was called Thomas Querdelyon!
We are not concerned with Roger from More Chrichel, however. There is no evidence to suggest he founded any surviving line, either in Dorset or elsewhere. It is quite probable that if he had a family it was wiped out by the Black Death which entered England by a Dorset port in the mid-fourteenth century.
It was in West Dorset that the Wakely newcomers put down roots; Richard of Hawkchurch was almost certainly the 'paterfamilias' of all Dorset Wakelys, and can surely be recorded as the forefather of the later Wakelys of Hawkchurch, who were settled not only in the same parish but in the same tithing of the parish where Richard lived.
Fourteenth century neighbours
The lords of the manors of Hawkchurch and Vynlegh were abbots from the parishes of Chardstock and Thorncombe - this would be significant later for the Wakely family. The main lords were also clerical, Chardstock was held by the Bishop of Salisbury, most of Thorncombe was controlled by the Abbot of Forde. Only Holditch manor or lordship in Thorncombe was known to have lay lords in medieval times. Local society therefore would more than likely be dominated by manorial officials and richer farmers, both having similar origins, with the officials very likely to become rich farmers given the opportunities inherent in their jobs.
Subsidy rolls do not show which taxpayers were also manorial officials, some undoubtedly would have been, but the names on the rolls do give us some idea of the origins and occupations of those featured. Some like Richard de Wakelegh' were newcomers: Dennis de Elleworth; Humphrey de Brammesleigh; Roger de Haukmore; Richard de Colemore; Ralph de Borcombe; Thomas and Henry de Cochesete and Alica Toteriches. Others presumably lived in particular surroundings; John atte Moure from marshy ground to the south; Humphrey atte Doune on hilly land to the north east; Robert atte Watsre from the banks of the Axe in the valley; Thomas atte Wode reclaiming land from the scattered woodlands. One, Thomas atte Brouk,stands out significantly - by the fifteenth century the Brook family were lords of Holditch in Thorncombe, and at the end of the sixteenth had acquired the manor of Hawkchurch.
Other names showed physical characteristics. Mr. Bairde (superior beard), le Fransch (Foreign extraction), le Fissher and le Marlere (occupatianal) the first being self-explanatary, the second from marl a mixture of clay sail and carbonate of Lime which is found at various depths below the soil and was highly valued as a fertiliser. Marling a field was a major investment yielding rich dividends.
Only three personal names which appeared in the 1327 and 1332 subsidy rolls re-appear 200 years later for the tithing of Phillyholme in the 1525 subsidy roll. Wakely, Colmer (de Colemore) and Davy: probably from the rich Edith Davis of 1327. There were forty names in the 1525 subsidy return (almost exactly the number in 1527) and the lack of continuity suggests that some of the original names had become occupational. There were Tailors, Webbers, Clerks and Turners in the 1525 roll and other changes may have resulted because the poor of 1327 had become the rich of 1525 and vice versa. In other cases, lack of continuity was brought about by the families concerned about becoming extinct in the male line.
For the Wakelys the opportunities included the possibility of marriage with local heiresses. Such names as Humphrey de Brammesleigh may have disappeared, their genes however may have survived in the Wakelys.
Fourteenth century life
The century opened just as an expanding population was reaching the point where opportunities for expanding food production were being exhausted. During previous decades new lands were cultivated by clearing woodland, reclaiming marshland and wasteland. However, without natural fertility much of this new land was soon exhausted. As arable farming expanded it precluded a parallel expansion of livestock farming with its essential by-product - manure. Crops on marginal land rapidly dropped. To add to this inevitable decline, a series of appalling harvests in the second decade of the fourteenth century was followed in the third decade by a run of epidemics that decimated the cattle and sheep population.
Twenty years later, midway in the century, the human population suffered a direct blow - the Black Death, a plague unprecedented in its ferocity and the speed at which it spread. It had entered England via the Dorset ports in 1348; within weeks it was eating into the neighbouring counties of Devon and Somerset; by the end of the year it had reached London.
This was the first of three outbreaks and it affected mainly the adult population. The second, thirteen years later, was given the special name 'murtalite des enfants' - children being particularly affected as they had not built up resistance in the previous epidemic. The third main wave of Black Death occurred in 1369 and by the end of the century it was suggested that two thirds of the population had died.
The decline in the working agricultural population reinforced other pressures leading to the freeing of the market in land. Those persons who had survived the Black Death had more opportunity for securing more land, of better quality. The economic privileges of the main landowners grew less, the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 (though rapidly defused) won its main immediate objective, the removal of the very unpopular poll tax and the landlord class were unable to enforce laws imposed to control wages.
Efficient farmers (the Wakely's included) grew prosperous, building up their holdings. Still occupying the same place in the social hierarchy below vallets, esquiers, chivalers and seigneurs - they nevertheless began to become employers and achieved greater social standing.
The Hundred Years war, starting like the Black Death halfway through the century also helped. Absent knights, made hungry for cash due to wartime taxation willingly leased their lands and relaxed feudal abligations. Conscrjpted soldiers and sailors, who never returned, left their lands available for those who stayed at home.
Richard de Wakelegh' <wakely-sheet-1.html> and his immediate (unnamed) descendants, working hard. investing prudently, and begetting healthy heirs, would have been typical of those who seized the opportunities of the age so outweighing the hazards. Reasonably it can be assumed that the next century (even with its great lack of local history records) saw the continuation of the Wakely occupation in the prosperous tithing of Phillyholme.
A lost century
In the fifteenth century the surname Wakely makes a near-complete disappearance from records and maps. The exceptions are all in London where John Wakeley or Wakele, vintner, citizen, alderman and sheriff of London died about 1407 (will proved). He was probably the son of John of 'All Hallows the Great' in the City (his will proved thirty years earlier). A third John, son of John the sheriff, died in 1409, his estate managed by Ferdinando Wakely. Their wills, now preserved in the London Guildhall give no clues to their origins or location of properties. The first John may have been a young man from Dorset making his way in trade while his elder brother stayed at home building up his farming and wool interests, or he might, like Richard, have been a migrant from Hertfordshire.
The fifteenth century left one only with historic generalisations. It can rightly be described as one of the greatest creative periods for English architecture and music but was singularly poor in chronicles and informative records. The great series of monastic chronicles which shed so much light on the earlier centuries were replaced in the 1400's by crude and credulous popular histories. In local terms, where manorial records do not survive (unhappily the norm rather than the exception) one can only check the dry details of property transactions recorded in the agreements known as 'feet of fines' and the equally boring details of properties in which the King had an interest. These were recorded in the 'inquisitiones post mortem' - inquests after the death of tenants-in-chief who were protecting the properly interest of the crown. Both these sources would be silent in terms of Wakelys as they were almost certainly tenants of monasteries or were holding lands from intermediate lords.
Now we come to the beginning of the sixteenth century when for the family historian things start to get easier. Parish records of baptisms, marriages and burials, records of wills, monumental inscriptions and publications of local directories etc, were all becoming available. The introduction of census records in the beginning of the 19th century was an invaluable aid in guiding the searcher back to counties and parishes and bringing to light members of families unknown previously. On each of the individual sheets regarding ancestors in the following Wakely history, as much other information regarding the relevant generations has been included but it must be stressed - nothing can be guaranteed!
It is impossible to tell what branches spread from the main Wakely bole in northwest Dorset during the genealogical 'black hole' that covers the latter part of the fourteenth century and the whole of the fifteenth. It has been speculated that the merchant Wakelys of London might have been newcomers from Dorset seeking to make their fortunes and reasonably we can assume that these London Wakelys were ancestors of the Wakelys found in Kent in the seventeenth century registers.
However, from the beginning of the sixteenth century, it is possible to start making educated guesses of relationships with contemporary Wakelys and by the end of that century to connect several other Wakely families with same certainty.
The trees that follow cover:
The Wakelys of Whitchurch Canonicorum (the elder line) and branches at Chideock, Bridport and Swanage.
The Wakelys of Hartland and Morwenstow (north west Devon on the northern border of Cornwall).
The Wakelys of Honiton in eastern Devon.
The Wakelys of Whitchurch Canonicorum
The Wakelys of Whitchurch separate into two branches; those retaining a connection with Whitchurch and its neighbour Chideock; those moving east first to Bridport, then to Swanage on the Isle of Purbeck. Many wills, backed up by very full parish registers and other evidence enables one to eliminate them completely from the direct ancestry of this history.
New names of Walter and Osmund appear but it is noticeable that the old Wakely family names of Thomas, John and William still keep their end up.
Like the Hawkchurch Wakelys, the family on the Whitchurch side, in time, covered quite a social range. Some owned large estates, trying to prove their right to bear arms. Some, although remaining Yeomen, were given the courtesy title of gentleman; others married into gentry families. Some became coastal traders, blacksmiths; one from the rich side became an apothecary.
Even though some of the landed side acquired properties very close to their remote cousins in Stoke Abbot, they did not live on them and can be clearly differentiated from the Stoke Abbot branch
The Wakelys of Hartland and Morwenstow
This branch of the Wakelys of Hawkchurch separates from the main tree about 1600, starting with Sylvester Rockett alias Wakely. 'Rockett" comes from a transliteration in Chard parish register where often 'o's in writing of the period narrow to a point where they look like 'Cs.
Sylvester's descendant's names make it practically certain he was the son of William Wakely alias Rockett of Whitestaunton (will proved 1624). The tree shows that Sylvester was still living in his home area when he married. The fact that his marriage took place in Chard is a further indication that Robert Rockett alias Wakely (of Chard at death) in the main tree, was the father of both Hawkchurch and Whitestaunton branches.
The move to Hartland, at the furthest end of Devon from Dorset, connects with the theory that the Rocketts had strong trading interests. In the times of Sylvester, Hartland was more important as a trading town than neighbouring Bideford. Difficult to credit now because the quay which history reports as bustling with ships has long since been washed away by the fierce seas swirling below Hartland's steep cliffs. A twentieth century guidebook describes it as 'the most sparsely populated farming area of the West Country, a great cul-de-sac of an 18,000 acre parish'.
Morwenstow, now in Cornwall, was where Sylvester's grandson settled. It has been described as 'the lonely farthest north of England's farthest south'. Like Hartland it was obviously rich at one time - its Norman church is beautifully decorated, and the local manor house of Tonacombe, surviving now as much as it did in Sylvester's day, shows that the local lords were prosperous.
The tree does not give all the details of the considerable race of Wakelys founded by Sylvester but it does show enough to be able to eliminate the branch from the direct ancestry of the Stoke Abbot line. Usefully, it is a typical bit of evidence to show the devotion to traditional names in a family - Sylvester and his father William are repeated often and it is likely that Peter was the name of Sylvester's father-in-law.
A much larger version of the Morwenstow branch of Wakelys is lodged in the Library of the Society of Genealogists in London.
The Wakelys of Honiton
It is not clear why a branch of the Wakely family developed in Honiton. The fact is that three of the recorded Wakelys in the parish preserved the Rockett name. This makes it fairly certain that Honiton Wakelys are descended from the Wakelys of Hawkchurch.
William and John were the names used by the Honiton Wakelys, suggesting strongly that, like the Wakelys of Hartland and Morwenstow, they derived from William of Whitestaunton, and in this case, from his son John the miller of Phillyholme. As negative evidence there is the fact that no other trace of John's descendants can be found.
Geographically the move was not a great one. Honiton is approximately twelve miles from Hawkchurch - two miles from neighbouring Axminster, and then ten more miles by what is now and was then in the seventeenth century an important main road to Exeter and beyond to Plymouth.
Therefore there may have been a trading reason for the move. Another hypothesis is possible however. Wakelys had established themselves in Thornecombe by the seventeenth century. The proprietor of the ancient Abbey of Ford was the most important landowner there and since the last Abbot founded almshouses at Honiton it may indicate there was an estate connection on which the Wakelys built.
West Country
Three short lived Wakely branches, not covered in the main tree, whose bases were in the reach of the original Hawkchurch home are ...
(a) Isle Brewers, north of Chard. For a brief period in the seventeenth century references are found in the name of William. These may wall be another offshoot of the William of Whitestaunton branch.
(b) Dartmouth in Devon. Another seventeenth 'sighting' not necessarily connected with the family in this history. The only evidence for that is the use of the name Edward across two generations - a secondary name of the Hawkchurch Wakelys. Perhaps more significant is the sharing of the unusual girl's christian name 'Wllmot' with the Honiton branch. In any event, the Wakelys did not establish at Dartmouth for very long, two generations saw their time out there. Interestingly however the wheel turned a full circle when Reuben William Wakely born in Southsea married Emma Jane Elliott on Sunday 29th January 1882 at Dittisham near Dartmouth. Reuben was the paternal great uncle of the recipients of this history and was a seaman based on HMS Brittania at Dartmouth College.
(c) Exeter. Partly on the use of names it is guessed that they may have derived from the Wakelys of Bideford. Also both towns were important trading centres in the eighteenth century when mention of Exeter Wakelys are concentrated and Bideford ones decline. Wills from the Exeter branch might have given some clue but unfortunately these were destroyed in the 1939-1945 war.
Elsewhere in England
The Wakelys of London of the fourteenth and fifteenth may have been of Dorset origin. The only evidence is from the Dorset visitations which show a family of London merchants marrying the heiress of one John Wakely and almost immediately afterwards setting themselves up among the gentry of Dorset.
Possibly the London Wakelys were the founders of another county line in Kent. They emerge in the seventeenth century, achieving 'county' status by the end of the eighteenth century and probably the ancestors of the Wakelys of Rainham. These achieved distinction in this century in the medical world and became baronets.
The main alternative to London and Dorset would have been Shropshire. Wakely references in Shropshire do not survive as early as those for Dorset but a Wakely family of substance was there from the sixteenth century. They were found in Early Chancery Proceedings covering the years 1500-1515. Like the Dorset Wakelys they started prosperous and stayed long. The Shropshire Wakelys might have derived from those of the Dorset borders as wool. trade routes connected the two counties. Or again, they might have been descended from another emigrant from the Wakeley manor in Hertfordshire. What is certain is that any connection with the Dorset Wakelys is very distant indeed.
Gloucestershire also had a branch but further research shows it lasted only through the seventeenth century. The main christian name used there was Leonard. One of the most likely conclusions is that a commercial family based in the great trading centre of Bristol had used whatever profits it had earned to purchase property in the Gloucestershire wool country. Equally it might have been an offshoot of the Wakelys to the north in Shropshire. Once more, no plausible connection can be made with the Wakelys of Dorset.
Finally it is clear from information from the descendants of the Wakely of the Isle of Wight that their line stemmed from Whitchurch.
The Wakelys of Ireland
For the Wakelys of Ireland a plausible connection can be established that their genealogical history starts in Devon; the names of Devon/Dorset Wakelys were used; and that the founder of the Irish Wakelys appears on their pages of history just as he disappears from the records of Hawkchurch.
It is very likely that the founder of this line was John Wakely the son of Thomas, Lord Wakely of Wakely Hall, Devon. This line perhaps more than any other has direct ancestry to Richard de Wakeleg' recorded in the subsidy rolls of 1327 and 1332. The contemporaries of John lived in Hawkchurch (at that time in Dorset, but now in Devon) and were in the process of acquiring lands at Thorncombe (then in Devon, now in Dorset). Just when he left they were in Colyton so the point of origin may be significant. Although the actual location of Wakely Hall is not known it is thought very likely to be found in the parish of Hawkchurch.
The fact that John was a merchant as well as a soldier also plausibly explains why he moved from the busy wool trading area an the Dorset/Devon borders to the new opportunities being opened up in Ireland.
John was granted lands in Navan in 1547 and as mentioned above the Irish Wakelys were extremely faithful to the names John and Thomas in the first nine generations the Wakelys of Navan and then of the Ballyburly estate counted four Johns and five Thomases among the nine eldest sons who inherited.
The Library of the Society of Genealogists has a second Wakely History lodged with them which contains a very interesting collection of facts and records of letters etc. a few of which have been extracted below.
1. John Wakely is described by an inscription upon a monument in the Parish Church of Ballyburley as the 'captain of 100 horse and 100 foot in the beginning of Queen Elizabeth's reign'.
2. John Wakely's Arms are sculptured in stone over the doorway of the Parish Church of Ballyburley and described in heraldic terms as;
'Gu, a chevron between three crosslets. arg. on a chief of the last a stags head caboshed of the first'.
The interesting connection with the Dorset Wakelys is the fact that a stag was the emblem on the seal of John Rockett alias Wakely of Holditch.
3. Entry in the Calender of the patent and close rolls of Chancery in Ireland, signed at Kilmainham Dec 15 1550 details his large holdings;
'Letter of Lord Deputy and Council directing John Wakely to have a lease for 21 years of the lands of Ballybyrle, the Eskermore, Ballycollgen, Richardston, Ballynlea, Ballybaken, Ballyworen, the Rathe, Dromkit, and Ballygowen, Beallacorre, Ballenoren, the Neweton, Clennemeane, Colker, Klronarne, the Loaghe, Klonerell, Kyloshell, Kloremore and Kylloyne in the county of O'Ffalley and to have a survey thereof made before sealing of the lease'.
4. According to an Old Pedigree John Wakely married Ann the 2nd daughter of Sir Oliver Plunkett probably between 1547 and 1557;
'John Wakely of Navan, and Oliver Nugent had a patent of lands in Meath and dated 20th June 1547. Ditto in louth and Meath, Fiant for lease 19th Sept. 1550. Ditto for lands in Kings Co, including Ballyburly, Faint 15th Feb 1550 John Wakely married Ann second daughter of Sir Oliver Plunkett. Knt.'
It is believed this marriage resulted in 4 sons. John died circa 1571.
The family pedigree is recorded in 19th cent. editions of Burke's Landed Gentry of Ireland. No attempt is made to cover it in this history.
The Wakelys are first found in Dorset in the tithing of Phillyholme, the southern half of the parish of Hawkchurch. The first known inherited lands were in that tithing and for five hundred and fifty years direct Wakely ancestors lived and worked within five miles of this early base. Until the mid-eighteenth century their brides came from within the same tightly drawn radius.
These lands are mentioned throughout the trees and individual sheets of the ancestors in this history.
It is suggested that the first known Wakely lands at Chackridge may well have been the lands Richard de Wakleg' came to at the beginning of the fourteenth century.
Chackridge - the original Wakely base?
Wakelys possessed the Chackridge lands by the end of the 16th century and were labelled as heredilaments. They were not freehold - by this time the tenure was by leasehold. Probably the Wakelys, Like many yeomen of the 16th century, converted a copyhold estate in Chackridge (i.e. one held by custom of the manor, and subject to the jurisdiction of a manor court) to a leasehold one - specifying like 17th century leases that no suit of court would be owed.
Chackridge itself was once an independent lordship - in early documents, it is the 'Lordship of" Chekeridge' - there are later references to it as 'a freehold estate and reputed manor'.
The original Wakely interest in it is unknown but what is known is that John Rockett alias Wakely's will (1620) makes a point of entailing the Chackridge lands on his grandchildren, while making no provision for later lands. That these lands were Wakelys may be inferred from a run of seventeenth century deeds dealing with the lands - John's son Thomas is careful in these deeds to sign himself Wakely alias Rockett while in other land deads he signs as Rockett alias Wakely. The seal he uses on these deeds - featuring a trippant stag - is distinct from the Rockett seal on the same documents - featuring a coat of arms with three swords. These are evidence that the lands in question were Wakely not Rockett inheritances.
The lands which are on high land south of Hawkchurch village comprised some one hundred and forty acres - roughly the area of the two farms of Chackridge that survive today. They became two farms in the Wakely's days, John and Thomas the two oldest grandsons of John Rocket alias Wakely having one each. As one property they were probably the whole of Chackridge lordship.
Richard de Wakeleg's standing as one of the top subsidy payers in the parish of Hawkchurch in 1327 shows that the lands may well have been the source of his wealth. For this reason his descendants stayed put for the succeeding three centuries.
Today, their softly rolling, well-drained fields are still unspoiled and command panoramic views over the Axe Valley into Devon - one can understand the Wakely unwillingness to move.
The tithing of Phillyholme was in the southern half of Hawkchurch Parish.
Wakelys possessed lands in Chackridge and certainly owned West Lears and Herridges Farms and parts of Hewood.
They appear to have had property (? inherited from Wolmington family) in Tytherleigh and it was here in 1700 that Isaac Wakely from Stoke Abbott died after being attacked at Hawkchurch by a man from that parish and was buried at Chardstock.
Job, William and Moses Wakely farmed at Weycroft in the early 1800s. They were ancestors of the line of Wakelys down to Mr.J.R.Wakely of London SE27.
Axminster and Marshwood were the first known Rockett centres - being conveniently placed on the main roads inland from Lyme Regis.
After a, period in the Hawkchurch/Thorncombe area the Wakelys moved to Stoke Abbott and farmed in Mosterton.
Abraham Wakely Yeoman of Burstock was lessee of Stockham Estate and Laverstoke Farm and it was here that our Thomas Wakely <wakely-sheet-17.html> was born and became joint beneficiary with his mother Catherine. It appears he also took over the farm of his cousin Abraham at Mosterton some time after 1773.
The site of the old Church graveyard of the Chapel of Ease of Mosterton can still be seen from the road up from Mosterton to South Perrott - now overgrown and abandoned but with one of the firs planted by Mr John Wakely (a grandson) to surround the small burying ground still standing. These were planted after the old church was taken down in 1832.
