Instead of spending all of their earned money on themselves, two siblings from Fort Walton Beach are donating a portion to a local charity.
Robert and Jennifer Fancher decided to give $21 each month to FRESH Start for Children & Families, a local organization that provides long-term help to homeless people.
They�re working toward a �250 Charter Membership� with Fresh Start. The nonprofit has a goal to get 250 people to donate $250 each year.
Robert, a 13-year-old at Lewis School in Valparaiso, will donate money he earns from mowing lawns. He said he wanted to give others the chance to make a new start.
�Most families aren�t as fortunate as we are,� Robert said.
Jennifer, an 11-year-old at Emerald Coast Christian School, will donate her babysitting money.
�I thought it was the right thing to do,� she said.
Martin Fancher, the siblings� dad, said he and his wife are trying to teach Robert and Jennifer to give to charity and their church. He gave them a few pamphlets about local organizations.
Fresh Start caught their eyes, especially after they learned that the organization also teaches its clients how to manage their money.
�I want my kids to be giving from the heart,� Martin said.

All-clear at Regent Mall in Fredericton after reports of natural gas smell
Shoppers and workers at Regent Mall had to be evacuated Thursday night after reports of a natural gas smell.
The Fredericton Fire Department says it received a report of a natural gas odour at the front of Walmart around 8:30 p.m.
Enbridge Gas employees went through the mall with their gas detectors, but did not find any signs of natural gas.
Officials believe the smell was sewer gas, and gave the all-clear just before 10 p.m.

Now that Autumn is in full swing, I have been enjoying cosy nights in armed with a large mug of tea, a good book or a cross-stitch (Granny much?). I think when Autumn creeps in, I like to step away from the laptop sometimes and enjoy the simple life before the internet, which is why, unless scheduled, there has not been much regular posting or youtube action.
What do you enjoy once Autumn kicks in?
PS:I honestly need to start doing these Instagram posts much more often - I've had to omit a fair few pictures this time.

Home & Garden
March into the garden for chores this month
Q: I haven't spent much time in my garden during the winter, but now I want to get it ready for spring and summer. What garden jobs should I be doing? —Lorraine Berg,
San Luis Obispo
A: Here on the Central Coast the change of seasons is rather subtle, but there's something special about the air in March that tells attentive gardeners that spring is coming.
Even those of us who concentrate on indoor activities during the winter feel the pull to get back into the garden at this time. This is good, because there are many important March tasks that will get our spring and summer gardens off to a great start.
It is time to inspect the garden and mend any damage done by winter storms. Repair the irrigation system and begin beating back the flourishing crop of weeds our rains have brought.
When it comes to pest management, prevention is always the best approach. Releasing ladybugs and praying mantises in the garden may help you get ahead of aphids and other insects. Snails, earwigs and ants should be targeted relentlessly.
Now is the time for inland gardeners to plant summer blooming favorites such as gladiolus, callas, cannas, dahlias, gloxinia and tuberose.
Vegetables that can be sown into the garden at this time are chard, carrots, kohlrabi and lettuces, particularly in inland areas.
In coastal areas there is still time to start some cool season varieties, such as broccoli, brussel sprouts and cabbages. Warm season varieties such as tomatoes, eggplant, summer squash and melons can be started inside now, for transplanting outdoors later.
All plants should be deadheaded as needed, and ornamental trees, azaleas, camellias and poinsettias cut back and fed. Wait to prune frost-damaged plants until buds appear, so you can determine how much tissue is actually dead. Do not cut off the leaves of faded bulb flowers until they are completely brown.
In the orchard, apples, pears and stone fruits should be thinned when the fruit is about 3/4 inches in diameter, leaving the remaining fruit 4 to 6 inches apart. Plant avocados and citrus now, and watch future articles for more information about their care.
Call the Master Gardeners for more detailed advice. Their handy Gardener's Journal contains a schedule of gardening tasks for every month of the year.

RUSE at Ben Russell Gallery
by: Corinna Kirsch
Walking along Morgan Street in East Pilsen, it's difficult to tell which brownstone might house an art space, but for the opening of RUSE, the second exhibition at Ben Russell Gallery, the eponymous Ben Russell made it easy—sitting on a plastic lawn chair outside his front door, he welcomed visitors while over the course of the evening, his arms held a rotating cast of objects: a dog, a beer, even fireworks.
Russell, an already established filmmaker and curator, alongside co-curator Brandon Alvendia, began putting the front two rooms of his apartment and environs to use as an exhibition space this past May. The premise of each show is predicated upon a set of limitations that includes the following: one artist must produce a wall-mounted work that fills at least three quarters of the 13 x 10 ft. wall of the main exhibition space and another must make a 15-30 minute long performance. The sermon-like list of commandments goes on, but the project of Ben Russell Gallery is meta: it's an apartment gallery, but also a curatorial project that makes transparent the boundaries of putting on exhibitions in an apartment. Why not turn a backyard into a sculpture garden, use the alleyway as a performance space, and a closet—okay, maybe it's a tiny, windowless bedroom—into a screening room instead of disguising its existence?
In the larger of the two indoor rooms, Miguel Cortez's surveillance project "Quien te esta mirando?" consisted of a closed-circuit camera that transmitted its video to a website, http://www.mcortez.com/webcam.html . I accessed the website, but it wasn't showing a live-feed at the time—maybe this was part of the ruse? Propped up against the wall across from Cortez's installation was Kelly Kaczynski's wooden maquette of a stage, See It Always Falls Around (The Sky). The stage's diminished scale and vertical format severed it from any functional ties and instead showed the structure's quasi-Minimalist, gridded underside. These motifs, of surveillance and multiple points of view, continued into the screening room playing Paul Chan's Re: The_Operation (2002) from his Tin Drum Trilogy. Bruised and wounded cartoon heads of military officials from the Bush-era introduced a montage of footage and audio culled from a variety of sources, mashing up fiction, reality, and half-truths into an endless video loop.
After the sun set, Roxanne Hopper and Julie Rudder began their alleyway performance, No One Alive Today Will Ever See This Again. The performance included a moonlight sonata that left a usually talkative crowd quiet, with the whisper-tone hush of the words Ohhhh! Beautiful! Romantic! as the audience's epilogue that closed the evening. Perhaps RUSE was a misnomer—there was no deceit, just a humorous, playful, and candid approach to the rules of art and exhibition as a game.
Ben Russell Gallery is located at 1716 S Morgan #2F.

Breaking the back of it
Another fruitful day today in this week of writing, despite (or maybe because of) my little boy being a bit under the weather today. He had to miss nursery, but all he wants to do is sit on the sofa under a blanket watching Power Rangers, so I've been able to put in a fairly hefty shift so far, sat next to him on the sofa trying to block out the intolerable noise. I've been continuing to work on my third draft. More accurately I've been doing the neccesary leg work to start it. It's worth noting that I'm a 'pantser,' which is to say that when I sit down with my first blank page I have no idea where I'm going, who the characters are going to be, or even what kind of book I'm going to be writing. I fly by the seat of my pants. It's an incredibly freeing way to write. I freewheel my first draft, and then if it's any good I can use the second draft to completely rewrite it in a way which means I'm no longer embarrased to show people.
That's the theory, anyway. To be honest this is the furthest I've ever gotten in the process. My second draft reads pretty well, I think, but then I thought I would go through it with a fine toothcomb to see if there's things I'd like to change about it. I started a spreadsheet where I could take my three unique timelines and plot them out to see if they all match up. I created a chapter synopsis to see whether my different arcs all get enough focus, and last of all I started a full character log.
The reason for the character log is twofold. Firstly, I want to make sure that my characters are real people, developed in a way that makes my reader want to spend time with them (or run a mile in some cases) but also, I consciously want to make sure I'm addressing the gender balance as well as the ethnic and sexual balance. I'm a middle aged white guy, and while I may think my book has a pretty decent balance of women and POC, going through the book in this way points out just how wrong I am.
You know the old saying that men believe that women are dominating the argument when they contribute around 25%, well looks like my natural biases bear that out. And while I'm trying to write an apocalyptic tale set in modern Britain, I have precisely one black character, one Polish character and zero people of non-hetero sexual denomination. To put that in context, there are 50 white guys, ranging from two main characters to people barely mentioned. It's not at all reflective of the world I want to write about, so I'm going to try and fix it. I'm always amazed when people don't look at this; quite aside from the fact that it's good to give people representation in the media, why on earth would you limit the appeal of your story to only 35% of the population?
This tooth-combing has probably been the worst part of this whole process so far, but having finished trawling chapter 26 this afternoon I'm glad I've done it. If I hadn't I wouldn't have realised that two of the story arcs are a whole week longer than the third, and that in fact I have a fourth and fifth story arc of incidental characters that cross each of my three main arcs and who miraculously seem to be in two or even three places at once. To put it another way, I have a monster of a to-do list now.
Writing a novel for the first time is definitely a steep learning curve, and there's so many different lessons that you learn along the way. This has definitely been one of the most important for me so far; sure I want to fly by the seat of my pants, but that doesn't mean I can't keep a trace of my route as I go. Next time I sit down with a blank piece of paper, it'll be accompanied with a hefty spreadsheet.

CAPE ELIZABETH—Christmas came eight months early for Falmouth's baseball team Wednesday afternoon at Holman Field.
Playing the role of Santa Claus was host Cape Elizabeth, which made eight errors in the rivals' lone showdown this spring.
It's hard enough to beat the powerhouse Yachtsmen playing clean defense, but such largesse allowed Falmouth to roll to an easy win behind junior ace Cam Guarino.
The Yachtsmen set the tone in the first inning, when, after an error kept the frame going, junior second baseman Colin Coyne ripped a two-out RBI single for a 1-0 lead.
Falmouth added two more two-out, unearned runs in the second, as sophomore catcher Griffin Aube and senior Connor Aube both scored on an error.
The Yachtsmen went ahead by four in the third when a two-out double from designated hitter Hogan Tracy scored Coyne.
After junior rightfielder Reece Armitage made a fabulous play in the bottom of the third inning to throw out a runner at the plate, Armitage hit a sacrifice fly in the top of the fourth to produce another two-out, unearned run for a 5-0 lead.
Falmouth ended all doubt in the fifth, as an error scored a run and set the stage for Connor Aube to drive in another and junior shortstop Robbie Armitage to bring home yet another for an 8-0 lead.
Guarino, who threw a no-hitter in his first outing this spring, wasn't as dominant this time around, but still managed to go the distance, allowing only two runs in the sixth inning, one on his own throwing error and another on an RBI single from Capers senior first baseman Bryce Hewitt, as the Yachtsmen went on to an 8-2 victory.
Coyne had three hits, scored a run and drove in another, Guarino allowed just six hits and Falmouth improved to 3-0, dropping Cape Elizabeth to 2-1 in the process.
"We got things going today," said Yachtsmen coach Kevin Winship. "I thought we hit the ball really well, hit it hard. We took advantage of some of their mistakes. We were happy to capitalize on them."
Early showdown
Both Cape Elizabeth and Falmouth have lived up to their lofty preseason billing so far this spring.
The Capers, who were ousted in agonizing and controversial fashion by eventual repeat Class B champion Greely in the regional final a year ago, opened by defeating visiting Kennebunk, 6-1. Monday, Cape Elizabeth rolled to a 16-4, six-inning victory at York.
The Yachtsmen, who got to the Western A semifinals in 2015, only to lose to Portland, started with a 14-0, five-inning home win over Poland in a game which saw Guarino throw a no-hitter. Monday, Falmouth improved to 2-0 by downing host Kennebunk, 5-3.
Last year, the Capers beat the Yachtsmen for the first time in four years and they did so twice, first rallying for a 9-6 win at Falmouth, then prevailing at home, 3-1.
Wednesday, almost everything went the Yachtsmen's way from the very beginning.
Cape Elizabeth junior starting pitcher Marshall Peterson started the first by getting Connor Aube to ground out to short, but leftfielder Tyler Gee singled to left. After Robbie Armitage flew out to right, Reece Armitage beat out an infield single and when Capers senior shortstop Dylan Roberts threw wildly, the runners moved up to second and third. That set the stage for Coyne to single to center to score Gee.
"We faced Marshall twice last year and we knew he was good, so we wanted to jump on him early," Coyne said. "We battled. Two outs doesn't mean anything to us. We wanted to get a rally going and that's what we did."
Armitage held at third and was stranded there when third baseman Chris Camelio grounded out to Roberts.
Guarino was sharp in the bottom half, getting senior centerfielder Nate Ingalls and senior leftfielder Jack O'Rourke to ground back to the mound and sophomore catcher Brendan Tinsman to ground out to third, with first baseman Jesse Melchiskey making a nice scoop to retire the side.
The Yachtsmen added to their lead in the second.
Melchiskey and Tracy both grounded out to short, but Griffin Aube laced a double over the head of O'Rourke, Connor Aube was walked intentionally, Gee drew a walk to load the bases and after Capers second baseman Pat Macdonald couldn't handle Robbie Armitage's ground ball, Griffin Aube scored and Connor Aube raced in right behind his younger brother for a 3-0 lead.
"That double by Garrett Aube was a great momentum builder for us," Winship said. "It's only his third varsity game and he came up with a big hit."
Peterson got Reece Armitage to ground out first to the pitcher, but the damage was done.
"That early lead helped for confidence," said Guarino.
Guarino got Roberts to line out to Robbie Armitage, who made a fine stab to his right, to start the bottom of the second, but senior third baseman Matt Riggle drew Guarino's first walk of the season on a 3-2 pitch and Hewitt walked on four pitches. After Guarino got Macdonald to ground out to third unassisted, Peterson also grounded out to third to retire the side.
Coyne left off the third by beating out an infield single to third base and took second when Camelio grounded slowly back to the mound. Melchiskey struck out for the second out, but Tracy doubled to left to score Coyne with the game's lone earned run. Garrett Aube grounded out to shortstop to end it, but Falmouth was on top, 4-0.
"Seeing insurance runs each inning was great," Guarino said. "We hit the ball well today."
Cape Elizabeth almost broke through in the bottom half, but the Yachtsmen's defense came up big.
After designated hitter Sean Agrodnia grounded out Melchiskey to Guarino, Ingalls walked on four pitches and O'Rourke beat out a single to the hole between shortstop and third for the first hit Guarino had surrendered all season. Tinsman lined sharply to right, but Roberts followed with a single to right.
Enter Reece Armitage, who charged the ball and unleashed a strike home to Griffin Aube on the fly and Aube tagged out Ingalls to end the frame.
"I didn't even see the throw until I turned around since I was backing it up," Guarino said. "I wasn't expecting it. That got my confidence way up there."
Falmouth continued to score in the fourth, again with a two-out unearned run.
Connor Aube struck out leading off, but ball four got away from Tinsman and his throw to first was wild, allowing Aube to reach. Gee sacrificed back to the mound and Robbie Armitage reached on an error by Roberts. Reece Armitage's fly ball to center was deep enough to score Aube and the lead was 5-0. Coyne grounded out to second to end the inning.
In the bottom half, Guarino had his second 1-2-3 inning, getting Riggle to ground out to short, Hewitt to fly out to right and Macdonald to ground out to third.
The top of the fifth was more of the same, although this uprising came against Agrodnia, who replaced Peterson.
Camelio reached when Ingalls couldn't handle his line drive. Melchiskey grounded out to short with Camelio moving up and Tracy struck out, but Garrett Aube beat out an infield single and Riggle's wild throw scored Camelio and moved Aube to second. Connor Aube followed with a single to score his brother and Gee reached on catcher's interference, putting runners at first and second. Robbie Armitage then delivered another run with a single to left, scoring Connor Aube, and moved up on O'Rourke's error. Gee too tried to come around and score, but was thrown out Agrodnia to Tinsman to finally end the frame with Falmouth up, 8-0.
"We all want to take advantage if they mess up," Coyne said. "That's what you have to do in baseball."
Guarino made quick work of the Capers again in the bottom half, getting Peterson to ground out to second, Agrodnia to bounce out to third and Ingalls to strike out.
The Yachtsmen were finally held scoreless in the top of the sixth, as Reece Armitage grounded out to first unassisted and after Coyne singled to center and was picked off, Camelio grounded out to third.
In the bottom of the sixth, the Capers got on the board.
O'Rourke, for the second time, beat out an infield hit to start the rally, but he was picked off by Guarino. Tinsman drew a walk and Roberts singled to right to put runners at first and second. Riggle then grounded back to the mound, but instead of trying to turn a double play, Guarino threw to first, only to see his throw go wide of Melchiskey, allowing Tinsman to score and put runners at second and third.
"On that play, we wanted (Cam) to go for two, but he was looking for the safe play to just get an out up 8-0 and the ball happened to sail away on him," Winship said.
Hewitt followed with an RBI single to score Roberts to cut the deficit to 8-2, but Macdonald struck out swinging and Peterson ended the threat with a pop fly to second.
The Yachtsmen tried to add to their lead in the seventh, but stranded two runners.
Melchiskey led off with a bloop single to right and was replaced by courtesy runner Max Fortier. Tracy struck out and Garrett Aube lined out to center, but Connor Aube walked and Agrodnia was replaced by Hewitt. Gee then grounded out to second to end the inning.
In the bottom half, Guarino slammed the door.
Agrodnia did reach leading off with a bloop single to right, but Ingalls popped out to shortstop and both O'Rourke and Tinsman flew out to right to end the game after an hour and 46 minutes.
"Cape's a very good team," Winship said. "They'll go deep in the B playoffs. They had our number last year, so it's nice to come out and get a 'W.' I expect this to be big Heal Points for us."
Guarino improved to 2-0 after going the distance, allowing two unearned runs on six hits. He walked four batters and struck out two.
"I threw a few more balls than I usually throw," said Guarino, who improved to 14-2 in his high school career. "My curveball was a little iffy in spots, but everything was OK."
"Cam's been pretty consistent throughout his career," Coyne said. "We trust him and want to help him out."
"With Cam on the mound, we usually have a great chance to win," Winship said. "When we got those runs early, that's all we needed. He gets more confident and better as the game goes on. He's not a big strikeout guy, but he makes plays. They didn't hit him very hard. He's always around the zone and he keeps the ball down."
"Cam's a good pitcher," added Cape Elizabeth coach Andrew Wood. "He's a very smart kid. He's a D1 prospect, possibly the best, or one of the best in the state."
Guarino said that he's quickly getting acclimated to his new catcher.
"I'm pretty comfortable with Garrett," Guarino said. "We haven't done a lot of work together in the offseason, but he's done well catching me. I'm confident with him behind the plate."
While Cape Elizabeth made eight errors, Falmouth committed just one.
"The guys behind me did the job," Guarino said. "I was painting the corner and getting ground balls and they carried me today. It was all them. I felt pretty good."
"We take pride in our defense," Coyne said. "We know if we make plays, we'll come out with a 'W.'"
"I have a very good defensive outfield and infield and they made plays behind Cam which made him tough to beat," Winship added.
Offensively, Coyne had three hits and Garrett Aube two to pace the offense. Connor Aube scored three runs, while Garrett Aube touched home twice. Camelio, Coyne and Gee had the other runs. Reece Armitage, Robbie Armitage, Connor Aube, Coyne and Tracy had RBI.
The Yachtsmen stranded nine runners.
Cape Elizabeth got multiple hits from O'Rourke and Roberts. Roberts and Tinsman both scored runs and Hewitt had the Capers' lone RBI.
Cape Elizabeth stranded seven.
Peterson took the loss and is 0-1 on the season after giving up five runs (just one earned) on six hits in four innings. He walked two and struck out two.
"It was good to see Marshall throw," said Wood. "He wasn't 100 percent, but he had good velocity."
Agrodnia gave up three unearned runs on six hits in 2.2 innings. He walked a batter and fanned two. Hewitt retired the lone man he faced.
"I'm disappointed we didn't give them our best game," lamented Wood. "They put the ball in play and we didn't make the plays today."
Cape Elizabeth will lick its wounds, then has a rematch at Kennebunk Friday, before visiting Freeport and Fryeburg Academy next week.
"We'll go back to tomorrow and put it in the rearview mirror and get ready for Kennebunk Friday with Nate on the mound," said Wood.
Falmouth plays again Friday when it hosts Freeport. The Yachtsmen go to Fryeburg Academy Monday and Gray-New Gloucester Wednesday, then have a home showdown against Greely Friday, May 6.
"I think we can make a run," Coyne said. "Obviously, playing a Class B schedule isn't what we'd like, but there are great teams in Class B, so we'll use our schedule to get ready for the playoffs."
"I want to stay aggressive at the plate," Winship said. "Defensively, we can always get better. We want to be aggressive base-running. We want to build on what we have. It's a fun group to be around."

I love Windham. It's the place I earned my first podium. That race was a ProGRT too. But this was my first time riding a World Cup course. Knew the track well from so many track walks as a spectator. Knew it was steep. The nerves were there for sure. Showed up super early on Thursday and set up our pit with the factory teams again. Partnered with Defiant to get a good spot and a decent rate. Jeremy and Tracey showed. Amy was there. Joe P. and Dylan too.
We finished set up on Friday, threw our gear on and headed up the lift. It was me, Jeremy and Dylan. As soon as our asses hit the chair lift, the sky opened up. It was good enough to soak us all pretty well through. Enough to turn the track into peanut butter. My first World Cup track…in the pouring rain.
We dropped in. Dylan and J pulled ahead steady. I dabbed a foot here and there and just tried to keep off my brakes. Made it down. Gnarly man. Track is just so steep. And in the wet like that….it's just tough to hold on. Didn't rain at all after that and the track dried up real fast.
Practiced all day long, getting faster and faster throughout the day.
Jeremy and Dylan broke off and were putting the entire track together piece by piece. By the end of day 2, they had every feature dialed. Including the road gap – a personal achievement for them both. These two really had a great weekend.
Amy was doing well too. She was hitting the sketchy little rock wall drop and managed to keep the bike upright all throughout practice. She passed us a few times on course and seeing her get after it gave me a decent boost of confidence.
Saturday Practice. Got a few runs in. Getting faster and faster through the rock garden. Did a run with Jeremy and on the way up, there was a voice in my head. Something about not wanting to do another run. I brushed it off. I shouldn't have. My head wasn't in it for this run.
Followed Jeremy to the rock garden. He stopped and I speed by him, turning it up a notch or two on the way in. I got sucked to the right and over a shark fin I was clearing all weekend. Too fast this time. Suspension packed up and I got shot over the bars faster than I have ever been ejected before. Tons of people crashed in this area for practice. My bad luck? I got my hands out and into the rocks. My left had must have cam down on a jagged rock cause it dislocated my wrist something fierce. I took a rock to my goggles and hit my helmet pretty good. Got up and could feel my wrist numbing. Shit. Problem was, my eyes couldn't focus. The rock that hit my goggles left a giant gash in the lens. I had some sort of occular concussion for about 5 good minutes or more. Jeremy came down and went for help. Every other rider around went back to riding and watching people in the rock garden. One guy came over to help. Kris Roy. Good dude. Stayed with me till Ernie got there and my eyes came back. Then I looked at my wrist. It was jacked hard. Rode the gator down and drove myself to Albany. They reduced it, wrapped it, told me it was fucked bad, and tried to get me to do the surgery there. I told them I was going to do it in Baltimore and went back to the hotel after a 6 hour ordeal in the hospital. Not going to go into detail here. I have another post on the way for that.
Amy qualified third while I was at the hospital. God bless her, she was going to give up quali to ride with me. Even saw her walking after my truck but I couldnt bring myself to let her ruin her weekend when she was killing it like she was.
Got back, went to sleep, and woke up and hung out for a while the next day. Packed up the pit and shoved off to Union Memorial. Drove right into the ER. Had my doc picked out on the drive there. Got surgery 5 days later. The pics I was able to grab were all from just before everyone's race run. Joe P. showed up day of race with Jennie and the kids. He actually tried to have Dana ride the course. That lasted for one-third a run. Genius buddy.

Now that I made my own chicken broth, I wanted to use it for my favourite dish with broth: risotto.
Ingredients chicken broth or stock, home made or from a cube 1 large knob of butter short grain rice 1 onion (frozen) peas 1 carrot 50 ml of wine (if you haven't used wine to make chicken broth) 1 hand full of grated parmesan cheese
Chop up the onion and finely dice the carrot, defrost the peas with some boiling water and bring the broth to the boil.
Take a wide pot with a thick base and high sides, a casserrole for example. Gently fry the onion in the butter. Once the onion has softened, add the rice and stir it through. Bake the rice on a medium/low heat for a few minutes. Add the wine and stir it in. Add a ladle of broth and stir it in. Add the peas and carrot. Keep adding a ladle of broth and stirring it in until the rice is soft on the outside and firm inside. Then turn off the heat and stir in the cheese.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Joseph Gordon-Levitt—actor, writer, director, producer, singer, dancer, musician, visionary—everyman. Dimple-faced, equipped with an unbridled—and infectious—enthusiasm, Gordon-Levitt is one of the most likable, polite and humble young actors blistering through the stratosphere of global celebrity. He's also the founder of an international "open collaborative production company" called HIT RECORD. Google actor "Joseph Gordon-Levitt" and the first result below his IMDB page is hitRECord.org. Seems he's hit a jackpot with his aggregated-art approach.
For those unfamiliar with the Columbia grad's HIT RECORD project, it's the multi-media site he launched a decade ago, as a way for artists to collaborate on creative projects with people across the world—everything from short films, to music videos, to animation, to documentaries, to songs. In 2014, the Internet-based collaboration moved its efforts to the small screen in 2014 with a self-titled television show on Pivot. The first season received an Emmy in the category of outstanding creative achievement in interactive media. Now in its second season, HIT RECORD TV has some familiar faces in it—the variety series will welcome A-List guest stars Seth Rogen, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Zac Efron, and Evan Goldberg.
"Fans of the show will also appreciate that this season reflects the work of even more amazingly talented artists from around the world, collaborating with each other and celebrities alike," Gordon-Levitt said. "The most valiant thing you can do as an artist is inspire someone else to be creative."
Each weekly episode (8 in total) of the show addresses a theme. Writers, musicians, illustrators, painters, filmmakers, editors and animators from around the world are encouraged to collaborate to create short films, songs, music videos and animated works based on that topic. It's refreshing to see such an open forum that facilitates creativity. And, with the creative freedom to explore nearly any topic he and his contributors wanted, Gordon-Levitt's fans put their collective heads together for a "more focused" Season Two.
"In the second season, we've managed to include way more contributions from the community, which makes me happy and makes the show better," explained Gordon-Levitt. "Out of thousands of contributions [we were] really able to see what the eight themes were that most resonated with the community, and those are the eight that we picked."
Say you write a story about a purple ghost and submit it to the website—a fellow HIT RECORD user might do a voice-over reading of that story. Someone else might add a score to it, or animate it, or make a music video from the song that came from it. Then Gordon-Levitt might feature it during one of his live shows, or in the television series, or even in HIT RECORD's printed volumes. JGL pitches the best films to his industry friends and if your project is sold, company and collaborators split the earnings fifty-fifty. That was the case with a short film called Yes We're Sinking, which was screened at Sundance 2012. The artistic community he's built is now in the hundreds of thousands and counting.
At the HIT RECORD premiere party in Los Angeles few weeks ago, JGL was happily hands-on all night long, jumping on stage with the other performers, singing and playing drums, interacting with fans, walking around afterward, genuinely greeting friends and family alike, answering questions from strangers, from the banal to the belligerent, with nary a blink. It's usual fare for Gordon-Levitt to embed himself this far in anything he does, just as he does with his characters. Early in his career he once said he didn't enjoy being a celebrity, being recognized in public, so he shirked the fishbowl. Has that sentiment changed over the years?
"This industry is definitely not for me, but I love making movies. Story telling never used to be wrapped up in a bunch of glitz and glamor. And soon enough, it won't be again," revealed Gordon-Levitt. "I love getting to be an actor, and I love it when people connect to the movies and shows and stuff that I work on. Personally, I don't at all like making a public show out of my private life, and I try to avoid it as much as possible. Some actors feel differently about their own private lives, and that's fine by me as well."
At age 34, newly married and at the height of his career, JGL has a lot on his plate this year. He has two highly-anticipated biographical roles playing Edward Snowden in Oliver Stone's SNOWDEN and French high-wire artist Philippe Petit in THE WALK, as well as his leading role in the upcoming comedy XMAS, alongside Lizzy Caplan. His lauded work in films like DARK KNIGHT RISES, (500) DAYS OF SUMMER and INCEPTION, as well as a healthy career in television, has earned him so much attention that the actor got Neil Gaiman's blessing to adapt his beloved comic book series SANDMAN. Many had tried and failed to achieve that feat. JGL is currently working on a script for the film, alongside producer David S. Goyer [BATMAN trilogy] and screenwriter Jack Thorne. Gaiman will executive produce the project. Beginning in 1989, Gaiman's comic series ran for seventy-five issues, and with a wealth of material, many fans wondered why Gordon-Levitt opted for a feature length film rather than a multiple-seasoned television series.
"I think a big screen adaptation is a better idea because if you did the episodic version, I think it could very well end up as a not-as-good-version of what is already brilliant in the comics. But by reworking the material into a big movie, Gaiman's brilliant characters and ideas get to take shape in a way they never have before," Gordon-Levitt explained. "Also, I think Sandman deserves to look absolutely mind-blowingly awesome, just on a visual level, and as cinematic as some TV shows are becoming these days, they still can't compete with big movies visually, just because they can't afford to."
Gordon-Levitt revealed a little insight into what we can expect from the adaptation. "There's tons of little brilliant moments throughout the series, and we certainly can't incorporate all of them," he said. "We are using a whole bunch of specifics straight from the comics, but of course, we're also having to do a certain amount of invention, and in between that, there's tons of re-appropriating, re-contextualizing, combining, consolidating, and all manner of things that literalists might not like. But what we try to be completely faithful about is the overall sentiment: that Dreams and Stories and Magic are actually all the same thing, and that they're real, and that they're powerful."
For his role in SNOWDEN—a film about controvertial CIA employee Edward Snowden, the whistleblower who leaked thousands of government classified documents on the internet and is now a "fugitive" from America—Gordon-Levitt discovered the significance of what Snowden did for the world.
"Frankly, I didn't know very much at all about Snowden when Oliver Stone asked me to play him. Once I spent some time reading up on him, I grew to admire what he did a great deal. Of course, that's just my opinion, and I certainly don't think that my opinion counts for more because I'm an actor," admitted Gordon-Levitt. "But I would encourage anybody who's even a little curious to spend a bit of time looking into it yourself, and not just trusting what people say on TV."
Joseph Gordon-Levitt doesn't do what you are supposed to do and he gets away with it. Makes films when he wants to. Makes collaborative art when he feels like it. Records when the time is right. All turns out successful. It might be luck, it might be talent, it could be hard work, or it could just be fueled by the naïve optimism that comes from a child actor who's been making art since the age of three. It's why his unabashed, slightly squinty eyes are gleaming and beaming and trying to look away from them is a waste of precious time.

With increased levels of free time and disposable income the future for restaurant management should be pretty good. If you just think about the number of times people of your parents' generation used to go out twenty or thirty years ago, you can see that eating in a restaurant has grown in popularity. Depending on the type of restaurant, the profit margins may be very narrow indeed. Equally, even if you do work in a world renowned restaurant offering haute cuisine and only the very best wines and service, you will still need to ensure that waste is minimized and that the business is marketed and run efficiently to ensure new and recurring customers.
You may study subjects such as health and safety, accounting, recruitment, personnel magnet, pay roll, stock control, marketing, and service. While you may be more interested in a management role, if you are to work in a team effectively, you will still need to understand other people's jobs. The restaurant industry employs many casual staff, and on occasions you may find that you are missing a team member, or somebody has failed to show for work. As a manager, you may be required to solve the problem, or even step in and help.
There are many different types of restaurant. You may find a management role quickly within a fast food restaurant. Competition for more luxurious restaurants is intense, so you may have to accept a very junior role to start your career. Hotels, or even self-employment may be an attractive option for you.

Wednesday Evening Healing Liturgies
The ministry of healing is as old as the people of God. From the healing stories of Elisha and the Naaman in the Hebrew Scriptures to the healing of the man at the pool of Siloam in the New Testament, the church has understood the renewal and restoration of life to be a function of God's redeeming power. As modern science has opened more of the mystery of God to the healing arts of medicine and psychiatry, the church has grown in its understanding of how God heals. We now see ourselves as working in tandem with medicine and psychiatry as we believe that healing involves body, mind, and spirit.
If you attend our healing liturgy you will find a simple rite with lots of silence and opportunity for prayer. Sometimes people come early and visit the icons in the church, laying before God the pain, hope, disappointments, and thanksgivings of their lives. A service leaflet will guide you directly through the liturgy. You will hear a meditation on some aspect of healing and renconciliation, and, most significantly, you may be anointed with holy oil. Anointing is an ancient sacrament in which the power of God is turned and focused upon the particular needs of God's people. A prayer will be said for you and hands will be laid upon your head, reminding us of our need to be touched by God and by each other. The liturgy concludes with the celebration of the Eucharist, and if you are baptized, you are welcome to receive holy communion in our Church.
You are invited to bring your prayers, your concerns, and your need for healing to this liturgy. We hope you will join us.
The liturgy is on Wednesday evenings at 6:15 p.m. and lasts 30 minutes.

A New Multi-Media Puppet Operetta in English
La Pulcina Piccola, international chicken of adventure, the bravest, boldest, most daring chicken that ever lived, follows her heart to the ends of the earth — and beyond — in her eternal quest for love.
A Multi-Media Puppet Operetta in Italian with English surtitles.
A larger-than-life bird, La Pulcina Piccola's story begins with the familiar "sky-is-falling incident," when an acorn falls on her head and she leads her barnyard friends to tell the king of impending disaster. When the friends part ways, La Pulcina goes on to fame, fortune, and extraordinary adventure.
Her eventful life includes forays into politics and the theatre (where she triumphs as Richard III), and--always, always--romance. A grandly life-embracing and life-affirming character, La Pulcina Piccola's approach to life is simple: enjoy today, for the sky may fall tomorrow.

Sixty-five years after independence from British colonial rule – the revolt continues!
Ghadar jaari hai!
Statement of the Central Committee of Communist Ghadar Party of India, 12 August, 2012
Sixty five years after independence from the British, who is free in India today? Workers, peasants, intellectuals, women, religious minorities, nations and nationalities are all oppressed. The big bourgeoisie has used the state of the Indian Republic to become the most dominant and ruling force of society, and is dragging the entire country onto a dangerous path – colluding and contending with other imperialist powers, and has grown rich not only by domestic but also through external plunder. The time has come to negate this state which negates the rights and aspirations of all our peoples. This can be done if and only if the working class takes the lead. For India to be free and independent, it is essential that every part our country, every section of our people, is free from oppression or discrimination of any kind. On the 65th anniversary of independence, the Communist Ghadar Party calls on all… to unite firmly around the program to reconstitute the Indian Union on a voluntary basis, redefine democracy to empower the people!
Anti-labour offensive to attract capital is to blame for the trouble in Manesar!
Following the unfortunate death of a senior manager of Maruti-Suzuki's Manesar plant on 18th July, 2012, state terror has been unleashed against workers in the Manesar industrial belt in Gurgaon District of Haryana. Section 144 has been imposed in the entire area. The Haryana police have arrested over a hundred workers and their leaders and locked them up indefinitely.
Resolutely oppose the flagrant violation of Syria's sovereignty by the imperialists
In complete and cynical disregard for the principle of respecting the independence and sovereignty of countries and people, US imperialism and its allies have stepped up their heinous military and political campaign to overthrow the Syrian government and establish their complete domination over that country.
No to imperialist interference in India-Iran relations!
The relations between India and Iran, a country with whom India has had close ties both in the distant past and in modern times, are coming under increasing pressure from the US imperialist-led offensive against Iran. This was seen when India voted with the US and other imperialists against Iran in the deliberations of the International Atomic Energy Agency on Iran's nuclear program.
Condemn the massacre of Sikhs in the US
Statement of the Communist Ghadar Party of India, August 7 2012
On Sunday August 5, 2012, six people were shot dead and three others criticially injured, in a racist and terrorist attack targeted at people of the Sikh community.
Step up the united struggle against the anti working class program of the government!
Let us make the September 4 convention of the working class a resounding success!
It is important for leaders and activists of working class, irrespective of the party or union they belong to today, to understand how and why the bourgeoisie is able to continue to attack the rights of the working class and people, despite knowing that the majority of the population is opposed to these attacks. The main reason lies in the fact that while the bourgeoisie is united around its one program of globalisation through liberalistion and privatisation, the working class is not.
No to privatization of water supply
I would like to thank MEL for bringing the issue of privatisation of water supply in it's June 16-30 edition under the title-Delhi Jal Board workers oppose privatisation. We are going the wrong way in our water policy. Rahul Gandhi said when he visited the drought hit areas of Maharashtra that he will take WB loan to solve the problem.

Views of the working class on the program of economic reforms
As a newspaper and organisation that is partisan to the workers and toilers, we have been asking the leaders of the working people as to how the toilers of India view the reforms that were started 20 years ago. Whether the working class and people have benefitted from these reforms or have suffered?
Parties of the capitalist class claim that there is no

The first part of this pamphlet is an analysis of facts and phenomena to identify and expose the real aims behind the Note Ban. The second part is devoted to a critical appraisal of the government's claims that it will reduce inequality, corruption and terrorism. The third part is what Communist Ghadar Party believes is the real solution to these problems and the immediate program of action towards that solution.

In the last few days she has been called skinny, gaunt, downcast, malnourished and moody.
But Victoria Beckham has had enough of the cruel jibes since arriving back in Britain three days ago, and lashed out at her critics.
"Look, if people want to say I'm miserable then so be it," she says. "I'm really not. I have a lot on my plate. I'm not going to lie about it, I'm tired. I'm really tired but I'm also very happy with my life.
"I'm basically just like any woman who's working and has lots of children – it's tough."
The truth is she is yet to enjoy a night of undisturbed sleep since giving birth to her daughter Harper seven months ago.
"I'm not getting much sleep at all," reveals Victoria, who has been flitting between LA, London and New York due to her work as a fashion designer.
"Harper's not sleeping that great, and I've been taking Skype business calls throughout the night too because of the collections. I'm up with the baby as all mums are and I wouldn't have it any other way. There's not a team of people doing it for me.
"And then people want to say I look crap. Well, I'm a working mum, so give me a break.
"It's actually been crazy. I had Harper, I was working on the collection and I was straight back into it. I took a lot on board. I'm tired. You can't look your best all the time.
"The time difference has been a nightmare lately. I'm spending ludicrous amounts of time in my dressing gown on Skype talking to my team about the clothes."
Surely she's planning to take some time out now she's debuted two new fashion collections to widespread critical acclaim? But Victoria, 37, says: "Well I'd like there to be a break but I very much doubt it's going to happen any time soon. When Harper sleeps that will be my break.
"The thing is I get the game I'm in. People can read the s**t about me and believe what they want and I get it. But I don't want to focus on that side of things. The glass is always half full for me. You can't get hung up on what other people say. I surround myself with the people that matter. And everything else can just go away."
Victoria, who rose to fame as Posh Spice in the Spice Girls, continually refers to "being positive" and laughs and jokes throughout our chat, which is conducted over a glass of pink champagne at the Harvey Nichols' launch of her Victoria dress line.
She says that although she doesn't smile much she certainly has a sense of humour. That became clear this week when she posted a picture of herself appearing to cup husband David's "package" while posing in front of one of his H&M billboards.
She's definitely at her happiest talking about her family. She and David, 36, make every day about their children. Harper travels with Victoria, and the boys, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, and Cruz, six, are mostly with David.
"The boys love sport and they're very good at drawing and art," she says. "Brooklyn is amazing at creative writing too and Cruz is obviously a superhero. He's in his own little world. They're such great spirits but we're very strict parents. You have to be with kids these days. They have to do their homework and if it's not done then they can't do other things.
"Brooklyn's a great musician actually. He loves playing the guitar. Cruz has become really good at taekwondo lately. I just want them all to try their different things and work out what they want to do in life."
Victoria laughs about David's comments on a recent episode of the Jonathan Ross Show when he said they plan to have more kids.
"I don't know about that one. I love being a mum and my children are my priority."
Is she dodging the question? "No," she says. "The thing is I'm not against having more children. I feel lucky having the kids I have and I guess I do like being pregnant. But definitely not just yet. I want to enjoy the kids I've got right now. Our entire lives are planned around their lives. We don't want to miss anything in their lives. Ever."
There's no escaping the fact that Victoria is very thin. Does she work out to keep her figure in check? "After Harper arrived I did work out to get my body back but quickly stopped," she says. "I guess once Harper finally starts sleeping all the way through the night then I will start working out again.
"I feel better mentally and I feel more with it. I'm actually craving being on a treadmill and maybe doing a bit of yoga."
Victoria reveals that the jury is out on whether the family plan to keep Beckingham Palace, their UK base in Sawbridgeworth, Herts.
"The truth is we don't know what we are doing with it right now," she says. "We've spent some great time there lately and there's a lot of memories but LA is home for now."
Recent reports suggested that she was the only Spice Girl blocking a reunion performance at Buckingham Palace for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
"The thing with the Spice Girls is it was so flattering to be asked to do the Jubilee," she explains. "But we have lots on our plates and we are all so focused on the end of the year and Viva Forever, the musical. The Jubilee isn't going to happen. But the musical is going to be really great and we're focusing on that."
Unlike her reputation for being hard work and aloof, I found Victoria warm, funny, cheeky and she certainly loves to gossip.
My last question to her is: "Would you ever Google your own name?"
She bursts into hysterical laughter and says: "God no. It would probably be horrifying to see what people say about me. I'd prefer not to know. I've got better things to do with my time than sit there looking at myself."

We were in Sedona in the Spring and I wrote a post containing lots of information about biking and hiking trails already, so I won't rewrite that part here, but will add more about the new trails we discovered (and loved) this time. We explored the Adobe Jack sector with a family we had just met and really liked the trails there. The view from Teacup is amazing, but a good chunk of it is pretty technical. We were quite surprised by Jordan, a trail we hadn't heard much about, and it's beautiful slickrock sections. We really liked Javellina and Ant Hill also.
I redid Aerie with the girls and it's just such a beautiful flowy trail, so is Adobe Jack (a great family trail!). JF and Mara went to ride Highline, Slimshady, Made in the Shade and Templeton. JF went to explore the Hogs by himself and report on how technical they were.
It was super fun to celebrate Halloween there too. We had no idea how it would be or which neighborhood we would visit to go trick or treating since the houses are all pretty far apart. We found out at the last minute that the big celebration was happening on Main Street where all the stores gave out candies and there were shows in the streets. There was a great zombie Thriller performance and the atmosphere was amazing. Tons of dressed up adults and kids alike. Definitely an Halloween that we will remember for a long time!
We hiked up Cathedral Mountain with our new friends (actually, the daddy and kids did, while the moms stayed down with the big dogs - it's not a place to bring your dog, way to sketchy).
We also hiked up and around Doe Mountain which was beautiful. That's also where we heard our first rattlesnake! It was surprisingly loud. Still very glad for the warning he gave us!
On our last day, we went to explore one of the vortexes too (the Kachina Woman) since it is one of the main Sedona attraction. I was kind of lukewarm about it. You know me, I don't like to go where the crowd goes... And well, many years ago, I got kicked out of an energy healing class because my skeptical energy was disruptive to the group (nobody told me to drink the cool-aid before registering). Anyways, I didn't think I would feel anything special at the Kachina Woman Vortex and went up there chuckling like a teenager among the serious vortex seekers, but I did feel something. That shut me up. Go life, keep surprising me, I love it!

Delightful feedback/
We were really delighted to receive some great feedback from a manager about a recent Vibrant Communities programme.
"The programme found the best in people and used that to help build the confidence of the team and give our residents the courage to participate"
She reported some fantastic breakthroughs with residents opening up.
"Alan who rarely leaves his room sang to us. John who never sits with other residents joined the group and had a great time. Howard left his room for the first time. Mark did not join the activity because he is bed bound but he was keen to contribute and asked to be filmed – he also shared personal history with us that he had not shared before."
She also told us that the experience had been team-building.
"Staff found this to be very therapeutic for them and was like going on a team building course – they found out new strengths about each other and felt it gave them permission to have an idea and then to run with it. They felt encouraged and confident."
We really appreciate it when people share positive outcomes our programmes contribute towards.

So, Oreos are just about my favorite food on the planet. I could eat them all day and I still would not be sick of them. Stolen from here, but it appears she stole the recipe from someone else first
Homemade Oreos
Retro Desserts, Wayne Brachman
Makes 25 to 30 sandwich cookies
For the chocolate wafers:
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened Dutch process cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 to 1½ cups sugar*
½ cup plus 2 tablespoons (1¼ sticks) room-temperature, unsalted butter
1 large egg
For the filling:
¼ cup (½ stick) room-temperature, unsalted butter
¼ cup vegetable shortening
2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1. Set two racks in the middle of the oven. Preheat to 375 degrees.
2. In a food processor, or bowl of an electric mixer, thoroughly mix the flour, cocoa, baking soda and powder, salt, and sugar. While pulsing, or on low speed, add the butter, and then the egg. Continue processing or mixing until dough comes together in a mass.
3. Take rounded teaspoons of batter and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet approximately 2 inches apart. With moistened hands, slightly flatten the dough. Bake for 9 minutes, rotating once for even baking. Set baking sheets on a rack to cool.
4. To make the cream, place butter and shortening in a mixing bowl, and at low speed, gradually beat in the sugar and vanilla. Turn the mixer on high and beat for 2-3 minutes until filling is light and fluffy.
5. To assemble the cookies, in a pastry bag with a 1/2 inch, round tip, pipe teaspoon-size blobs of cream into the center of one cookie. Place another cookie, equal in size to the first, on top of the cream. Lightly press, to work the filling evenly to the outsides of the cookie. Continue this process until all the cookies have been sandwiched with cream. Dunk generously in a large glass of milk.
* Let's talk about the sugar for a minute, shall we? This is a sweet cookie. A good, sweet cookie. Yet, if you think of an actual Oreos, the wafers are fairly un-sweet and actually on the slightly salty side, which contrasts with the super-sweetness of the filling bringing harmony, happiness, yada yada. If you want your cookie closer to that original, you can take out a full half-cup of the sugar. I usually do. If you want to make the cookie by itself (as I did a while back for ice cream sandwiches), go ahead and use the full amount.

Michael Moore advocates universal health care, but what does he think about free movies?
The controversial filmmaker will have to deal with that question after a report in Advertising Age that "Sicko," his new documentary on the failings of the U.S. health care system, has been pirated and is widely available for free downloading on the Web.
An Ad Age reporter said he was able to download and watch the film, which won't officially be released for two weeks, "with ease" last night.
Moore, who had worried that the U.S. government might try to suppress "Sicko" because of an allegedly unauthorized trip he took to Cuba, now faces "every film maker's worst marketing nightmare … how to persuade people to go to the theater to see a show that's available free on the Internet."
FEMA Wants $485M Back From Storm Victims
The Federal Emergency Management Agency says tens of tens of thousands of people received improper aid awards following the 2005 Gulf Coast hurricanes – and now FEMA wants its money back.
According to a USA Today analysis, FEMA overpaid victims of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma by $485 million and the agency is now struggling to recoup the funds. So far, just $15.6 million has been recovered.
The effort to collect the overpayments has drawn protests from many in the region still trying to rebuild two years after the hurricanes. A federal judge this week ordered FEMA to stop trying to regain any funds until it provides aid recipients with better explanations of what they owe.
In a related story, USA Today also reports that National Guard units in many states are running low on equipment, raising concerns about their ability to help other states with hurricane relief efforts as they did after the 2005 Gulf Coast storms.
The paper says four years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan have left Guard units in 31 states with 60 percent or less of their authorized equipment.
The Clintons Cash Out
Bill and Hillary Clinton aren't taking any chances this time. In a move to make sure their personal finances don't become an issue in Sen. Clinton's presidential campaign, the couple is liquidating their blind trust – valued at between $5 million and $25 million – and leaving the proceeds in cash, according to reports in both The New York Times and Washington Post.
The Clintons acted after learning that the trust contained controversial investments like oil and drug companies and military contractors. The move could cost the Clintons money, since they'll have to pay "substantial amounts" in capital gains taxes and are giving up the potentially higher returns from stocks for the safer, but generally lower returns from savings accounts.
But it helps them avoid any potential conflict of interest charges during Hillary Clinton's presidential run – and steers them clear of a repeat of the Whitewater scandal that dogged them during Mr. Clinton's presidency.

Remodeling Your Kitchen in Kansas City
Considering a Kitchen Remodel for Your Kansas City Home?
Nothing can add value to an existing home more than renovating the kitchen. While you may not be aware of it, buyers pay a lot of attention to a home's kitchen/dining area, and bathrooms. In fact, these are the most important rooms in the home, often determining whether or not a buyer makes an offer. Before you decide to remodel the kitchen of your Kansas City home, there are a few things you should consider.
What is your preference when it comes to layout and design?
Some homeowners like a traditional design, while others prefer modern, classic, or even eclectic. Families spend more time in the kitchen today than ever before, and you want the kitchen to be the heart and "hub" of your home. Browse magazines, websites, even go to showrooms to determine exactly the design and layout that suits your personal style and needs. Also think about what works well in your current kitchen, and what you'd like to improve on.
Which materials do you want to use?
In most cases, your budget will determine what materials you use in remodeling the kitchen, as some materials are significantly more costly than others. From flooring to counter tops, cabinets, and the sink/fixtures, it's important to know if the materials you desire actually fit into your budget. Sometimes it's necessary to consider durability rather than extravagance.
Have you considered storage and organization?
A kitchen should be highly functional, and provide plenty of storage space for dishes, cookware, glassware, cooking/eating utensils, small appliances, food, condiments, and more. The biggest complaint many homeowners have is that there aren't enough cabinets or other storage space in the kitchen. Simple changes can make a huge difference; for instance, the addition of an island and overhead rack instantly increase storage space and functionality, regardless of the size of your kitchen. Be creative, and use all of the space in your kitchen in a way that's advantageous.
What is your budget?
Budget is one of the most important factors for most families considering a kitchen remodel; many simply cannot afford to spend tens of thousands of dollars. Do you really need new cabinets, or could the existing cabinets be refinished? Create a list of things you really need, and those that are not really a necessity. In every kitchen renovation, there are countless options when it comes to materials for counter tops, lighting, flooring, hardware, even appliances. Think about whether there may be electrical costs involved, or unexpected construction issues that may arise. In regards to costs, there are options for every budget.
Where should you splurge, and how can you save?
Sometimes new flooring, cabinets, or counter tops can quickly eat up a budget, while new appliances may be energy efficient and help you save over the long run while adding a new look to your kitchen. Even small changes such as hardware on cabinets and drawers, and a different shade of paint on the walls can make a dramatic difference. If your budget is limited, it's important to spend your hard-earned dollars wisely.
At Syler Custom Homes, our Kansas City remodeling experts are dedicated to exceptional results. Whether you're considering a kitchen remodel, bath renovation, or having a room added on to your home, trust our team to exceed your expectations!

Empowering locals to 'do it themselves'
A group of Roaring Fork Valley residents who are working to help build a new school in the small town of Villard, Haiti, are not only seeing the project through to completion. They're also empowering workers in the poverty-stricken country to become self-sufficient.
"What's really great about this project is that it's one of the few where an outside group didn't just come in and say, 'Here, we'll do this for you,'" said Tim Myers, a retired builder from Aspen who co-founded the Haiti School Project two years ago.
"We're there providing training on some of the building techniques, but the project is really being driven by the locals," he said in a recent phone interview from Villard, where he has been since mid-summer.
Myers and fellow co-founder Fred Ireland of North Carolina started the nonprofit organization not just to build the school, but to train teachers and provide textbooks for students.
The school construction had barely gotten out of the ground with a half-finished foundation after a previous fundraising effort. It stalled when the money ran out following the 2010 earthquake that devastated the country. Villard itself was spared from the earthquake damage, but suffered from the economic consequences.
Myers' group reached out to donors all across the country and around the world to help resurrect the project, and Myers himself lined up several of his colleagues in the construction industry locally to help out as well.
Among them was Glenwood Springs resident Al Cunningham, a long-term co-worker of Myers' on numerous home projects in Aspen, who is also now retired.
"Tim came to me after starting the project and told me what they were doing, and it sounded like they could use some help," said Cunningham, who wrote grants to start, before taking on a role as part of the construction management team in Haiti.
Most of the actual hard labor is being done by the people directly involved with the school and in the larger community. The project in turn has pumped more than $100,000 into the local economy.
A better living
Part of the money raised through the Haiti School Project is going to pay the workers on a contract basis.
From negotiating a price and contract terms, to finding local sources for the materials, it's a skill the crew of nine or so workers who are building the school can put to use once the project is complete to make a better living for themselves, Myers said.
"It's exciting, because one of our goals from the beginning was to employ local people," he said. "By doing it that way, the money is also making its way around town and supporting other businesses, so it's nice to see that happening."
That has been one of the most inspiring outcomes for Cunningham as well.
"We are as interested in helping the people in the community as we are the children in the school," Cunningham said.
By giving the people the contract to do the work and to get things done by a certain time in order to get paid, it shows them that's how they need to do business, he said.
Recently, the Haiti School Project was able to raise the final $10,000 needed to do the stucco and painting on the interior and exterior walls of the school. The school is set to open for classes next week.
Villard, with a population of about 5,000 people, is the center of a major rice-growing region. While it wasn't directly impacted by the 2010 earthquake, it took a hit when relief efforts from around the world sent tons of cheap rice into the country, negatively affecting the domestic trade, Cunningham explained.
"Whenever you ask in Haiti how they can help themselves, the first answer is usually the international community," Myers said. "Here, we're trying to encourage them to take ownership."
Once the stucco and painting are done, the private, tuition-based school, which serves about 350 students from preschool through sixth grade, will be ready for students.
Future construction projects at the school will include wiring the buildings for electric service, building a backup solar photovoltaic system, constructing a water catchment system, and building restrooms and a kitchen.
Helping students, families
Another aspect of the fundraising effort is to support teacher training for multiple schools in the area. Recently, renowned Washington, D.C., educator Pilar Lynch led a teacher training for 56 teachers and 36 school directors from the region.
The project also helps find sponsors to provide tuition assistance for students and their families.
One local girl, named Vilaine Registre, lives next the school and has been one of its best students. However, when her family could no longer afford to the pay the nearly $150 yearly tuition, a donor was found so that she could continue her schooling into the fourth grade.
Many Haitian children, especially girls, don't make it beyond the third grade, Myers explained. Vilaine has become a sort of "poster child" for the project.
Also assisting with the project has been Richard de Campo, an architect with Poss Architecture and Planning in Aspen.
After working to help design the school building last spring, he signed on to join Cunningham and Myers in Haiti as a construction supervisor. It was an eye-opening experience for de Campo as well.
"They don't have a lot to work with, but the resourcefulness of the people there is just amazing," he said. "With a little direction, once they know how to do something they did it quite well.
"If we can build up their skills and knowledge base, that can go a long way to helping them and not always look to have someone else come in and do it," de Campo said.
Cunningham said the experience has inspired him to continue to be involved in future efforts in the country.
"It really puts it in perspective when you live and work in a place like that how much we take for granted here," he said. "You do get hooked on it, and you want to do whatever you can to try to help these people."

A South Pasadena woman says when she picked up an organic salad from Costco Monday night, she got a tiny surprise – a live tree frog that had hitched a ride among the lettuce leaves.
Some people might consider calling a lawyer after finding something unwanted in their food, but Ma asked the store manager if she could keep it as a pet. She said he agreed to let her have the salad and frog for free. She has named it Dave.

Training With Uncertainty
"Many of us prefer practices that will not cause discomfort, yet at the same time we want to be healed. But bodhichitta (awakened heart and mind) training doesn't work that way. A warrior accepts that we can never know what will happen to us next. We can try to control the uncontrollable by looking for security and predictability, always hoping to be comfortable and safe. But the truth is that we can never avoid uncertainty. This not knowing is part of the adventure, and it's also what makes us afraid."
