Buying a home can be very rewarding. When you are making a home buying decision, you are taking a step in the right direction. Be prepared to make wise decisions, because it is the biggest financial decision and the strongest emotional choice you will ever make in your life. Think about how you live, and determine what kind of home, in what kind of location, will best suit your lifestyle. It may be a condo, a large ranch-style home, a waterfront home, an old house or a brand new house. It is important to keep in mind that your home buying should be a reflection of yourself. Below are some helpful tips to consider when buying a home.
1. Know your price range and stick to it. Be very careful and realistic. Ask yourself, "What can I afford to buy?" What are your normal monthly expenses and what kind of mortgage payment could comfortably fit into your budget? Make sure you leave enough money for closing costs, emergencies or other expenses. Remember, there are many expenses involved in buying a home. You must have the means to cover them.
2. Decide on what you need and keep in mind that what you need is different from what you want. It is important to be realistic. Write down the features that you must have and what you would like to have even before you start searching. You can discuss this with your agent upon your first meeting so he can search for a home based on it. And who knows, in the end, you might be able to find a home that is a blend of your needs and wants.
3. How many rooms of different purposes do you want, what features? Examine room size, floor plan, adequacy of closets and storage. Have a specification of what you need and want and the extras you would like to have. Perhaps no house has all the extras you want, but a house with the nicest combination would be good.
4. Analyze your finances and arrange a mortgage. Don't be shy about your finances. Be very careful and realistic. Based on your financial situation, your agent can give you a general idea of what may be available to you, but it's much better if you formally determine a mortgage before you start searching for a home, so you know where you stand on credit and what kind of homes are available to you.
5. Buying a home involves a lot of little details in addition to all the big details. Make sure that you get a trustworthy, qualified and experienced real estate agent, one whom you will feel comfortable with, so you don't end up making costly mistakes. These agents are most familiar with the largest and best selection of homes and you can save a lot of time and hassle because he knows the fair market price and can negotiate effectively with the seller. So when your home buying search starts getting busy, and you're getting ready to make a decision, it's a good idea to have a professional on your side.
6. Start searching and viewing homes. Let the Realtor know the price range of what you can afford or are willing to spend.
7. Check the neighborhood. Is it safe? Do you need to be close to schools, public transportation, shopping areas, your place of work, or recreational facilities?
8. Check the inside as well as the outside of the home you are considering buying. When you are buying, you will probably be excited and overlook things. It may be wise to be accompanied by a professional home inspector. A real estate inspector will look for and identify potential and existing problems with regards to air conditioning, plumbing, heating, HVAC, electrical systems, roofing, foundation & structural, walls & windows, drainage or ventilation. He will also check for any safety or health-related problems and code violations.
9. If you've finally decided on buying a home, negotiate before someone else does. But don't rush into making a final decision. Your experienced agent should be able to handle the negotiations for you, and you should feel completely comfortable with the final price before making your decision.
10. After you reach a mutually agreed upon price with the seller, you will bring in a lawyer. Your agent and lawyer will prepare the black-and-white legal paperwork and then sign the documents. You should be finished and ready well before the closing date. Once the agreement has been completed, you can start preparing to move into your new home.

text: Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Park District CEO & Superintendent Michael P. Kelly joined 1st Ward Alderman Joe Moreno to break ground on a new, state-of-the-art fieldhouse at Maplewood Park in the West Town community. "Maplewood Park is a community anchor where families and residents of all ages come together," 1st Ward Alderman Joe Moreno said. "Once complete, this new fieldhouse will continue supporting this community by providing the safe recreational, learning and gathering places that west side residents deserve." The new single story fieldhouse to be built in West Town's Maplewood Park will provide park visitors with access to many new amenities, including two new club rooms, offices, a lobby, restrooms and storage space. "New park field houses are investments not only in the parks that serve our communities, but more importantly, in the people that visit them," said Superintendent Kelly. "Parks and their facilities are hubs of activity and offer opportunities for recreation and entertainment that improve the quality of life for residents, build strong neighborhoods and create a better Chicago."

What we consume on a daily basis definitely impacts our health and how we feel. A good diet can help to prevent respiratory infections and give our body the energy it needs to do the work of breathing and staying active. As Hippocrates once said, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." We all wish it were magically possible to eat the right food and to feel better overnight. However, small steps made daily can help you on the road to feeling more energetic. We must consume the vitamins and minerals our bodies need on a daily basis. When the number of calories taken in is too low to meet a person's energy needs, the body breaks down fat and muscle for energy. This begins a negative cycle and could cause the breathing muscles to weaken and lead to shortness of breath. This could then lead to decreased appetite and weight loss and the cycle repeats itself1. Your body produces more carbon dioxide when it breaks down carbohydrates. The extra carbon dioxide must be exhaled so when our meals are heavy in carbs, breathing can become more difficult2.

FSM Management Group
Being the agency of record for one of North America's leading airline fuel management organizations.
Solve. Build. Manage.
FSM Management Group came to Kleurvision in it's early stages to help give the organization an identity. We started by understanding what the FSM Management Group mission was and build a brand around it.
Once we had established the brand mark, we then focused on the website assets required to help build the brand trust with the stakeholders. This came through a redesign and custom ground up development of their members consortia portal and their corporate websites.
The user access portal was developed specifically for the FSM consortia with very specific functionality requirements. Various user groups and permissions were required to share and collaborate on airport specific fuel reports. Building a custom application to handle this gave us the most flexibility and control over how the functionality layers needed to interact with the data.
In 2014 FSM Management Group branched its operations into the United States and Kleurvision was contracted to build out a brand mark and website for the US market.
Developing a customized user access portal for the FSM consortia members created an ultimate level of trust with the stakeholders.
Our key deliverables.
Kleurvision has been FSM Management Group's agency of record since 2010 and we have been handling the entire digital and creative portfolio including corporate branding, website development, print procurement, web application development, web IT services, and graphic design services.

Creative Ways To Put Together Your Home For SaleDream Coat Portray is a full services portray and drywall company based in a little town in Pennsylvania. This company however is anything but little to Fred, the business proprietor. He has big dreams for him and his family members to prosper from this business.
OBefore they start with House power washing Brisbane make sure small repairs and drinking water leakages are taken treatment off to steer clear of any mishaps in the occupation. All you have to do now is choose the colors or textures you require, cover up all the furniture while interior painting and get prepared to be astonished.
Now that everything is wrapped up and place primed you are in a position to get ready to paint. Pour the ceiling paint into the 5 gallon bucket leaving about a quart of paint in 1 can to use with the brush. Brush a three or 4 inch line about the edges of the ceiling being careful not to paint as well low on the wall or crown molding, don't forget to brush about the light fixture.
Getting the correct tools and equipment to begin your portray job is also a should in your office. The basic materials that ought to stay with you all the time are the paint and the paintbrushes or rollers. You wouldn't want to be interrupted from your work anytime a tool or two is missing. A total spray package or pans with stirring sticks should also be within reach. Accurate, preparation is time-consuming but it is all worth it.
What makes Aspiration Coat Painting various from other painting businesses? Fred believes component of the purpose his business has success created all over it is this business offers more, for much less. "We will match all rivals rates" as quoted from marketing. However, most of Dream Coat paintings competitors do not take credit playing cards, do not have a web site, and do not work around their clients schedules.
While the trim locations can be painted first read more or final, generally painting trim final will need less in the way of masking preparation using painters tape or masking tape than if they are painted first.
When working with a contractor, make an agreement for payments primarily based on work completed, not time invested on the job. This allows you to hearth a contractor if his or her function is incomplete or shoddy or if the contractor starts inquiring for much more money.
For all of these factors, steer clear of turning to the brush and drip pan your self and rather call a expert to do the work for you. Painters can offer advice, guidance and the encounter you do not have to get the occupation carried out right the first time.

Gods and Monsters. And a Bunch of Dead Rich People.
A little pressed for time this week… Or, no. Not time. Energy. A little pressed for energy. So… FUNNYBOOKS… IN REView… are… gooooo…
Renato Jones: The One % 1
by Kaare Andrews
Kaare Andrews' first entry into the field of Comics That Belong To His Own Damn Self is pretty bold.
Bold in its cover design…
…bold in its Frank-Miller-Meets-Bill-Watterson graphics…
…and bold in its dramatics:
That's two consecutive double-page spreads. Think about that. Four. Full. Pages. Devoted to one horrifyingly cinematic effect. Sure, he could have done that as the top and bottom halves of a single spread, or as a single page. Half a single page, even. But the size of it, and the shock of the page turn, truly magnifies its effectiveness (go on ahead and embiggen them sumbitches to see what I mean). I really admire the balls it took to make that storytelling decision. It is, again, bold.
Of course, the whole premise of this book is pretty bold: it's about a guy who hunts the super-rich (as one of the series' many tag lines has it, "The Super-Rich are Super-Fucked"). But he's not some random maniac. No, he's out to punish the crimes of people whose vast fortunes make them untouchable by normal authorities. In this first issue, for instance, he's after a guy who hires pretty illegal immigrants in various service positions aboard his super-giant personal cruise liner (the biggest in the world!), where they disappear into his secret ship-board torture dungeon, never to be seen again.
Which is completely insane. Cartoonishly ghoulish. If you wanted to paint the worst possible picture of the proverbial One Percent… That would pretty much be it. It's a screed. A polemic. A political cartoon as ridiculous as it is brutal. But it's also funny. And satisfying. A great way to blow off some steam for those who see income inequality as one of our greatest social ills. Like Frank Miller's Holy Terror, but for the Occupy set.
It's not perfect. It works best as farce, and I'm not sure Andrews is always playing it that way. There's an earnestness to the proceedings that makes me think he's not 100% joking. That has a punk rock charm all its own, though, and lord knows I love me some punk rock attitude. So while I can't give it a perfect grade… I did get a real kick out of it.
Grade: B+
Cinema Purgatorio 1
by Alan Moore, Kevin O'Neill, Garth Ennis, Max Brooks, Kieron Gillen, Christos Gage, and Others
Next up is another fun book that's maybe not perfect, but that I really enjoyed in the reading. This one's an anthology series spearheaded/inspired/curated by Alan Moore. Moore and Kevin O'Neill (perhaps by now Moore's longest-standing collaborator) start things off with an introduction to the Cinema Purgatorio itself, a run-down old movie house showing films of dubious pedigree. Films that seem familiar, but that somehow go off the rails.
Their example this issue is "Fatal Officers," a comedic silent movie short subject, seemingly in the style of the Keystone Cops:
But as events escalate, the expected incompetent police mayhem has resulted in multiple careless deaths and, by the end, cold-blooded murder. The conceit is that the rest of the book represents the evening's feature presentations, implying that it will all be recognizable genre fare that deviates from expectations. And that's kind of true. More or less. If you squint. And maybe cock your head to one side at just the right angle…
The anthology's central conceit is loosely adhered to at best, is what I'm saying. But that doesn't necessarily detract from my enjoyment of it, because the rest of the strips are dandy little first chapters in what I presume will be long-running serials. Kieron Gillen and Ignacio Calero's Modded probably sticks to the Cinema Purgatorio premise best. It's essentially Pokemon, except set in what appears to be some kind of post-apocalyptic landscape. And instead of cute cartoon critters, the Pokemon are actually weird and terrifying demons. Fun!
Max Brooks and Michael Dipascale's A More Perfect Union also kind of sticks to the conceit. It's an alternate history Civil War tale, except that the actual Civil War never happens because we're too busy fighting off an alien invasion to fight each other. I can't say I liked this one all that much, which is to be expected: you're never going to like everything in an anthology. It's written well enough, mind you, and it's evidently quite well-researched. But the art is… Less than great. Not quite awful, exactly, but… It looks like everybody's wearing a fake beard. And in a story in which just just about every single character has some kind of outrageous period-authentic facial hair…
…that's not good.
The opposite is true of Christos Gage and Gabriel Andrade's The Vast, which, though I dig its premise of "fighter pilots vs giant monsters," honestly kind of bored me. But it's got a monster drawing in it that's so awesome I don't want to spoil it by sharing it here. It's the best thing in the story, by far. So it's a hard call to say whether this or A More Perfect Union is the weak link of this first issue.
The stand-out strip is an easier pick: Garth Ennis and Raulo Caceres' Code Pru. It's about a paramedic who gets called out on emergency cases involving monsters. This first chapter is quite well-done, introducing the series' conceit in an interesting, funny, and altogether human way. It's nice to be reminded every so often that Ennis has this sort of thing in him. He's often so busy being outrageous that it's easy to forget why I like his best work as much as I do.
So that's Cinema Purgatorio. A mixed bag, but fun overall. The heights are pretty high, and the lows (except for the beards) aren't all that low. Which is a pretty good track record for an anthology. Future issues, I think, will live or die by how good the Moore, Ennis, and Gillen strips become as they develop. For now, though, I'm happy with the six bucks I spent on this thing. For 40 or 50 square-bound pages, that's a bargain in the current funnybook market, and I feel like I should support it.
Grade: B
The Wicked + The Divine 19
by Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie
My recently-renewed enthusiasm for this series continues this issue, as the Gillen & McKelvie team deliver more super hero style action…
…and thicken the plot a bit, too:
That's Ananke, the apparently evil bitch behind all the gods' woes, talking to… we don't know who… through a contraption built for her by Woden… who doesn't know what it's for. Considering that Ananke was called "Necessitas" by the Romans, I found that passage pretty damned interesting.
Of course, it's possible that she's only talking to Minerva's owl, who's recording the whole thing. And considering that she then sends that owl out to lead her loyal gods to the hiding place of the rebel gods… And considering that the owl winds up in her enemy's possession… It's possible that whole speech is just a trap, designed to pull the rebels out where she can get to them more easily. But we don't know. And that… is pretty great.
Grade: A-

Frederick Sumsion was born in Brighton on 5th April 1880.
I have not been able to find the names of Frederick's parents or been able to locate him on any census forms prior to 1901 when he appears as a Boarder, trade Market Gardener, age 20, living in Worthing, West Sussex. Ancestry.co.uk
Frederick married Sarah Ann Church in 1904 according to the Registrations of Marriage on Ancestry.co.uk
The 1911 census on Ancestry.co.uk shows that the Sumsion family were living at 70, Asdown Rd, Worthing. Head of the household, Frederick age 30 was a Market Gardener by trade. He and his wife Sarah age 31 born in Worthing, Sussex, had a son named Frederick Stanley and he was 5 years old. Also living at the property were Alice Maud Cooper, Sister-in-law age 28 and Hilda Grace Cooper, niece age 3.
Frederick and his wife emigrated to Halifax, Canada in 1913 under the resettlement scheme, and by that time they had another son by the name of William born 1912.
Attestation Papers for Private 285364, Frederick Sumsion, from the Library of Canada.
Frederick enlisted into the Canadian Over-Seas Expeditionery Force on 28th May 1916 at Toronto. He is described on his medical form as being 5ft 6ins tall with a dark complexion brown eyes and dark hair. He had previously served six months with the 12th York Rangers. After training in Canada, Frederick embarked from Halifax aboard the S.S.Olympic on 28th April 1917 and disembarked in Liverpool on 7th May 1917 when he was posted to West Sandling Army Camp. He served in U.K. and was transferred to 134th Canadian Infantry Battalion and 12th Canadian Reserve Battalion at Whitley Army Camp. On 24th January 1919, Frederick was transferred to Kinmel Army Camp in Rhyl, North Wales.
Kinmel Park Camp was a segregation camp used to house Canadian Soldiers awaiting repatriation to Canada after the end of WW1. Unfortunately the conditions at that time were extremely harsh with a lack of every kind of commodity, the camp was overcrowded and the services were poor, there were shortages of clothing, food and blankets. As a result of this situation, a vast number of servicemen and women became ill and many succumbed to the Influenza Epidemic or complications associated with this infection. Sadly Frederick contracted Bronchial Pneumonia, and was admitted to the Canadian General Hospital where he died on 8th February 1919.
All of Frederick's effects, Medals, Plaque and Scroll were sent to his wife, Sarah A. Sumsion, 17, Ketchum Ave, Toronto.
Frederick Sumsion is buried in St. Margaret's Cemetery, Bodelwyddan.
He is commemorated on the Canadian Virtual War Memorial.

"One man's junk is another man's treasure."
So what do you do with all that junk? I ask myself that question often as H has inherited the save-everything gene from his parents. Now granted, some of that junk is pretty good stuff, but some of it needs to go and go now!
- Family photographs and birth, death, and marriage certificates from both sides of his family dating back to the late 1800's
- The original plans and mortgage papers from the family home we inherited. (Built in 1956)
- Family silver (from silverware to ice buckets to serving trays) – though I have no idea when we will ever use these items.
- Crystal glassware – doesn't quite match our Fiesta Ware, but it's nice to have handy for a glass of wine.
- The Family Bible and a few other various special books from the family. Are we supposed to keep that updated?
- Nice family antique furniture pieces from grandmother's house in Philadelphia – hence, the Philadelphia room. (And a lot of just old stuff I'd love to chalk paint, but H quivers when I mention that)
- Too many tools in that
junk roomworkroom. (Dad's room) How many screwdrivers, hammers, drill bits, extra screws, and tools you don't even know what they are used for does one family need?
- Paperwork for TV's, and all things electrical that have log since been gone. Though I don't know how they actually managed to discard anything. We only have the proof it once was because of the paperwork and H's memory. Do we really need the warranty on a toaster I've never met?
- A re-loader for shotgun shells – and all the paraphilia used with it. Also, boxes and boxes of old shells that were reloaded many years ago. No we aren't trying to squander ammunition for a far-fetched raid or shoot-out. H, Dad, and his brothers were big hunters back in the day. We have a stuffed crow to prove it. As Andrew said, "Get rid of those old shells, Dad. They aren't even any good anymore. That's why I kept missing those doves. You will have to buy some good ones if you want me to go hunting with you."
- Old ceiling fan's in new boxes, and old carburetors in the replacement's boxes for cars long gone. For that matter, anything old in a new box.

Trail Bunnies: mysterious creatures of the mountain biking trail. Trail bunnies come in many sizes and assortments which have been designated as sub-species. This ubiquitous creature is commonly found all over the world on the trails. Trail bunnies have been thoroughly studied by men but their thought patterns are still not completely understood. Who am I kidding? Their thought patterns are not understood by men at all.
A REAL Celeb-Bunny
The first sub species of the mysterious trail bunny we will examine today is the Celeb-Bunny (CB). The CB is a very rare creature indeed. Most CBs are mistakenly identified and should be categorized as Faux Celebs Bunnies (FCB). The main differences between the CB & FCB are their methods of transportation and living conditions. They're usually found in designer furs, sporting small white lines into their ears while also palling around with Fido.
Fido, in this case, is usually also in designer furs, small in stature compared to other Fidos, loud and not particularly useful for anything other than being loud. CBs have a few interesting traits that distinguish themselves from other trail bunnies: STRONG fragrant odor, overly large eye coverings and mysterious colorful markings on their face.
Not a real Celeb-Bunny
Celeb-bunnies & Faux Celeb-bunnies should be avoided at all costs. Their propensity to overreact to the slightest change in conditions is astounding. Take special care not to get too close as they scare easily and will call their bunny friends to rough you up or, even worse, close down the trail for mountain bikers. Notify them of your presence, move around them quickly and skedaddle!
The second sub species of the mysterious trail bunny is the Adventure-bunny (AB). The AB is not easily discerned on the trail. It sometimes takes multiple meetings with them before it can be determined that they are an actual AB versus a CB or FCB. It is important to distinguish the type of trail bunny you come across while out on the trails because they all have different demeanors and reactions to stimuli.
Adventure-Bunny is serious, pic from http://www.ecafracs.com/RabbitArmy/
The Adventure-Bunny is very serious about their time on the trail. They are not there to draw attention to themselves, but many times that is a byproduct of their working, out on the trail. The AB may have those odd white markings into her ear, but the rest of the garb is all business. The AB is there to get her work done. Due to the amount of time the AB spends on her work, out on the trail, she is very familiar with trail etiquette and is pleasant but focused.
The Adventure-Bunny is definitely the bunny to keep an eye on. If they are out with Fido, it is a substantial Fido, one capable of causing damage if need be. If traveling in packs, the AB is known to be competitive and will use your riding by as a "distraction" to gain a competitive advantage over the other ABs. This is what you need to be aware of as being used sucks.
The last type of Trail Bunny is also quite rare but easily discerned. We call them Advanced-Adventure-Running-Bunnies or AARB for short. The AARB is truly a unique creature and rarely seen solo. They are usually doing weird things like jogging an 18 mile loop around Chino Hills State Park. The AAB is the natural progression of the AB but thankfully not all ABs become AARBs. AARBs are usually the seniors of the trail bunny society. They also have the darkest coats from sun exposure, but do not normally sport the funny white lines leading up to the ears.
An Advanced-Adventure Running Bunny, stopping to think, note the dark fur coloring and lack of white lines leading up to the ears
Interestingly enough, their exposure to the sun and vast amounts of time have mellowed them out rather than making them into curmudgeons. The AARBs are usually the nicest trail bunnies out there, but they too are serious about their time on the trail. Also interesting is despite their advancement, they are still physically strong, mentally sharp and enjoyable to communicate with. Approach them joyfully and you will normally receive a like response.
Thank you for reading about the Trail Bunnies and their sub-species. Next up, we will examine the suicide rabbits and their counterparts the death defying ground squirrel. These guys love running towards spinning wheels and trying to jump through them! Stay tuned.

Can Christianity be blended with Islam to show Muslim followers the true Jesus? This is a highly controversial topic and one that we as Christians definitely want to talk about.
Today we continue the second part of our two-podcast series on Chrislam,the movement to bring together two religions and two people groups: Christianity and Islam. We're talking about the A Common Word Between Us document as well as some teachings from a ministry called Jesus in the Qur'an. What can we do as Christians to discern between the biblical way of sharing our faith with Muslims and a way that is taking a different course?

The next few weeks we will conclude our study of 1 & 2 Samuel. 2 Samuel 21:1-24:25 is an appendix to David's career as the Lord's anointed. The emphasis, of the appendix, is on David's praise for God's sovereign mercies and the mighty warriors the Lord used in the service of the king.
Last week we discovered that the central theme 2 Samuel 15-20 was "rebellion." The rebellion, in chapters 15-20, was first started by David's own personal sin. – adultery. Then, we seaw the unbroken chain of cause and effect consequences of rebellion.
The stories of rape, murder, revolt, overthrow, division, revolt, murder, decapitation, drought, and death. resulting from Israel's sin were fitting reminders that no king was above the word of the Lord.

Review: 'Mighty Casey' hits a home run
Opera Saratoga's production of William Schuman's "The Mighty Casey" is a gem.
Premiered in 1953, the opera in two acts is less than two hours long, but proves, as many pundits would attest, that baseball is a metaphor for life.
The opera is based on Ernest Thayer's poem "Casey at the Bat," which was written in 1888. Director Helena Binder decided to set the time line in 1917 when America was still innocent of war, the wages of sin and scandal in the sports world and, most of all, when baseball was king.
To nudge the large crowd a bit more into this nostalgic period, Binder inserted a bit of vaudeville before the second act. Baritone Mark Womack, complete with straw boater, cane and seersucker suit, sang in a rich voice "Did He Run?" with appropriate moves. Soprano Leah Dyer in feathers, pantaloons and high button shoes sang "If You Can't Make a Hit in the Ball Game" with sly appeal. It was all a great idea.
The first act set the stage in Mudville. While the orchestra under Curt Tucker jauntily played, the audience saw the community come to life: homemakers walked by with cakes, a milkman carried a few bottles of milk and the newspaper boy delivered his papers. Garett Wilson's set was homey in a warm palette with the black and white tesselated floor of the barbershop at stage center.
On the walls were what looked like portraits of favorite ball players. Suddenly, the portrait disappeared and there was the player singing a few lines about his expertise. The light faded and there was his portrait again.
There were no stars in the show unless it was the 24-voice chorus, most of whom were part of the company's Apprentice or Studio Artists programs. One member was local eighth-grader Liam McKenna, who played the newspaper boy. Everyone sang with gusto and rich tones, and Binder blocked them wonderfully well.
The opera is written in a through composed style, with no real arias but what is sung tends to mirror the spoken word with abstract lines. There's also some dialogue.
In the second act, the opera came alive. Set at the ballpark with the crowd, the team and the batter's box with the umpire, catcher and batter, the import of the poem suddenly made sense. Using stop action for Womack to intone lines of the poem before the crowd launched into full-throated screams, the pace quickened.
A fight ensued between the manager, bass Matthew Burns, and the umpire, bass Jeffrey Tucker, who both sang with robust grumbling. Then Casey, acted by Alexander Orthwein, who never said a word during the entire show, came to bat with the bases loaded. Alas, he was not successful and the game was over.
The final moments of the opera were handled with great poignancy, showing that heroes are only human, yet life goes on to a hug from the girlfriend, a fan asking for an autograph and another game.
The final performance of "The Mighty Casey" is at 2 p.m. Saturday


text: Motability Adaptations Hand Controls This type of adaptation is ideal for those who find using pedals difficult. They replace the accelerator and brake pedals with a push/pull device operated by hand. In some cases, these can also be used to operate the indicators. Note that you can only add this adaptation to cars with automatic gearboxes. If you have this type of adaptation fitted, it is normally essential to also fit a steering wheel ball, which enables you to steer with one hand. Other similar adaptations include electronic accelerators attached to the steering wheel in the form of a ring or trigger, and remote-control devices which make it easier for you to operate functions such as the windscreen wipers and headlights. Pedal Modifications If you have difficulty using the pedals in their standard layout, modifications can be made. If mobility in your right leg is restricted then it may benefit you to have a left foot accelerator fitted. Pedal extensions are also available, which are useful if you have difficulty reaching standard pedals. Stowage Systems If you have a wheelchair or mobility scooter, you will need a hoist to lift the product either into your boot or on to your car roof, where it can be stored securely. Car boot hoists are either 2-way or 4-way hoists, depending on the size and weight of your mobility aid, and come with tie-downs to secure the chair or scooter in your boot. They take up a lot of space and often require one or more of the rear seats to be folded flat, so this is something to consider when choosing your vehicle. Rooftop stowage units are an alternative if you have a foldable wheelchair and need your boot for other items. The wheelchair is lifted by a hoist and stored in a box on the roof of your car. Access Aids Adaptations to help you enter and exit the vehicle are also available. These vary in terms of their level of assistance. For example, transfer plates are completely manual, with some upper body strength needed by the user to lift themselves out of their wheelchair and on to the plate. Electric person hoists and swivel seats offer more assistance, but often require another person to operate them and are only suitable for some vehicles. Types of Cars Understanding the differences between the different types of cars will help you to find the right vehicle for your needs. Aspects like the dimensions of the car and the number of doors will influence your decision. 2-3 door cars have wider doors with larger opening angles, which may make access easier. 4-5 door models, meanwhile, have the advantage of rear doors for passengers. Larger vehicle types like family cars, estate cars and Multi-Purpose Vehicles (MPVs) offer increased passenger and boot space, which will come in useful if you need space for a wheelchair or mobility scooter and its stowage system. 4x4s/SUVs have higher ground clearance, which may make access more difficult, so an access aid may be necessary.

Where is Jamie Carragher now?
A one man club, Jamie Carragher spent his entire 17 year Premier League career with Liverpool and is the second longest-serving player in the club's history.
During his illustrious Anfield career Carragher won two FA Cups, three League Cups, the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Cup and played over 700 games for the club.
He also represented England at under 21 and senior levels making 27 appearances for the youth side and 38 appearances for the senior side.
Finally retiring at the end of the 2012-13 season, Jamie Carragher went straight into his current role with Sky Sports as a pundit on their Monday Night Football programme alongside former Manchester United rival Gary Neville.
Check out these great deals on replica football shirts and grab yourself a bargain.
In 2009, Carragher released his book Carra: My Autobiography which went onto become a number one bestseller.
As a way of saying thank you to the people of Merseyside, and especially Liverpool FC, Carragher launched the 23 Foundation with an aim to give help local children achieve their dreams through local charities, clubs and community initiatives.
Along with his father, Philly, Carragher has also opened a number of soccer schools on Merseyside and has recently extended it into Europe.
Following the success of his 23 Foundation and his soccer schools, Carragher launched his own academy JC Sports and Learning Academy in 2014.
The academy trains 16 to 19 year olds to become qualified football coaches.
For more information check out his official website www.jamiecarragher23.co.uk
In October 2017, Carragher joined The Daily Telegraph as its new football expert where he writes a weekly column and contributes to their Total Football podcast.
Carragher found himself on the front newspaper pages instead of the back pages in March 2018 when he was filmed spitting at a 14-year-old Manchester United supporter in her father's car.
The incident happened after the father had mocked Carragher whilst driving alongside his car after a Liverpool defeat to United in the Premier League.
Although he made a public apology and also a personal apology to the girl and her family, Carragher was suspended from his Sky Sports pundit role until the end of the 2017/18 Premier League season.

Juventus often have good reason to celebrate and when they can do so in the company of one of the most recognised fine wine makers in the world, all the better.
This evening saw the Bianconeri squad, backroom and support staff come together alongside official partner Cantine Ferrari – whose vintages can be found in the hospitality suites at Juventus Stadium - at the club's annual Christmas dinner, putting on-pitch affairs to one side for some festive celebrations.
The event, held inside the glorious grounds of the city's Reggia di Venaria Reale, was crowned with a toast to the ongoing collaboration between two of Italy's most celebrated names and of course to the Old Lady's good health both on and off the field.

100% organic
Also FOLAIR and DRIP application.
Ferticell Active N-P-K is a line of high efficiency organic certified fertilizing materials for organic crop production. Ferticell Active N-P-K affords the organic grower the ability to fine-tune his/her fertilization plan, a flexibility previously enjoyed mostly by conventional farmers.
Developing correct plant nutrition recommendations has always been a challenge in organic production. Along with pest control, plant nutrition remains one of the major yield limiting factors for organic farmers.
Using conventional practices, organic growers and crop advisors can now develop fertilizer recommendations that supply the right nutrient, at the right time, and at the right rate.
Ferticell Active N-P-K's are manufactured using the highest quality plant and mineral sources. No animal waste or by-products are used in the manufacture, a major advantage in addressing Food Safety concerns and regulations
Ferticell-npk is the most powerful soil organic fertilizer for agricultural soils. It has in it the active ingredients of nutrients essential for enhancing the fertility and productivity of the soil in the most balanced way.
The macro and micro-nutrient components in Ferticell-npk are so integrated that they effectively interact to provide and enrich the nutrient base of the soil in the most efficient and effective manner, yet being most economic. Thus, apart from replenishing the soil and providing the crop with macro-nutrients like nitrogen, phosphate and potash, Ferticell-npk also enriches the soil with essential micro-nutrients and Calcium.
Moreover, Ferticell-npk also increases the organic matter content of the soil along with the major and minor nutrients which are also organic based in Ferticell-npk. The combined interaction of the nutrient ingredients in Ferticell-npk integrates the soil with the full range of nutrients within a relatively short time, and their effects last longer for the standing crop to benefit directly. By optimally utilizing these nutrients from the soil, crop productivity in the Ferticell-npk treated plots greatly increases as reflected in the high yields and quality of the crops. Ferticell-npk is therefore unique in its action in stabilising and enhancing the nutrient status of the soil, and thereby increasing crop productivity.
Our product contains upp to 25 % easy to absorb P2O5 completed with the best minerals needed by plants, with it's 100% organic form, will deliver the best taste and the best harvest result to your farm and keep your soil in it's best performance.
Content a mix of Protein Nitrogen derived from plants 100% fast soluble.
High quality and quantity of soluble Potassium
Also content Calcium upp to 25% , Magnesium and other micronutrients.
High NPK content.
Can be used with any irrigation system, drip, sprinkler, foliar, etc.

Best Man Speech
Here is the speech I did for Mike at his wedding:
According to scientific estimates, the universe is 13.8 billion years old. Not only is it unfathomably old, it is incomprehensibly large with a 92 billion light year observable diameter. It is hard to see our place in such a seemingly infinite expanse of time and space. To make it easier to understand, scientists have sought to condense this time scale into something familiar, like a yearly calendar. One method that I've seen and liked is condensing this time into the span of a human life. On average, humans live about 80 years. That is, we travel around the sun 80 times. We're traveling pretty quickly too! We're going around the sun at about 18.5 miles per second. It is kind of crazy to think that by the time I am done with the speech, we will have traveled 5,550 miles. That means, by the time I am done, we could have traveled between Russia's easternmost territories in the Kirill Islands near Japan to its western most by in Gdansk by Poland.
Once again, space and time are hard to imagine, but a human life span makes it more understandable. With that said, let's suppose that the universe is a human. This human was born and will one day die. Now, to scale everything to human life, we have to think big. We count our years in terms of our voyage around the sun, but the sun itself makes a 230 million year revolution around the Milky Way. This trip is called a galactic year. So, I am going to count the years in galactic years, which are, well 230 million times greater than our human years. Okay, so if you are following me, the universe is currently 61 galactic years old. That is, our sun has revolved around the Milky Way 61 times. In our 61 galactic years of life, the earth was born when the universe was about 43 years old. So, the universe was pretty old by the time Earth was born, but hey, people are having children in the 40s much more often now. At about 46 years old, the first life appeared on earth. At about 54 years old, multicellular life appeared on earth. You can see that for much of the universe's 61 years, Earth and life just weren't around. About 12 months ago dinosaurs appeared, but they went extinct about 4 months ago. Humans didn't even appear on the scene until 8 hours ago. 15 minutes ago writing was invented, which is helpful since I needed to write this speech out. One minute ago, modern science was invented, which is also pretty useful, since it has given me something to talk about. A whole human lifespan of about 80 years, is really only 10 seconds in galactic time. In galactic time, I have known Mike for less than a second and a half. And, if I was convert this speech from human time of 5 minutes to a galactic time of 5 min, 2000 human years would have passed. The point is not to remember all of this, but to realize that our lives are very small in the scale of the universe. We are alone and small in a universe that will one day end in a cataclysm of expansion and cold.
With that said, how do we survive existential depression? Many people have many ways of dealing with this problem, but something that has sustained humanity for centuries is connection. When we are barreling around the sun at 1,000 miles per minute, we need something to hold on to. We need family, friends, partners, comrades, and community. This is why we are here today. We are here for Mike and Sonia, to celebrate their commitment to one another and the idea that we should stand with one another. When we are sick, when society is sick, when we see people in need, we must stand together. We must stand for love and human connection. We must see the injuries to others as injuries to ourselves. We must work together to make our short existence in this world better. We must elevate each other and elevate this world above the problems that weigh us down and keep us apart. All we have are connections. All we have is this brief flash in the pan in a big, old indifferent universe. We have 10 short seconds to leave the world a better place and to make our mark in the history of time and space!
When I set out to write a speech, I wanted to write about the big picture. I wanted to write about love, but many kinds of love. While the wedding celebrates romantic love, it also celebrates the love of friends and family and community. That is what makes these kinds of events so astonishing. Never again will you be in this place… at this time…with these people. This place is alive with the love of the diverse people who have been a part of Mike and Sonia's lives, many of whom may never meet again. Our only commonality is shared love and connection. I am deeply happy to count Mike as a friend. Friendship is precious. I hope Mike and Sonia the best in their future. I hope they are deeply happy. I hope that their connection and solidarity helps them tackle the challenges they face as individuals, but I also hope energizes them in their work to make the world a better place. Above all else, I hope they never again feel alone in the universe.

the failure of organs and emotions
I spoke too soon about my grandmother's nose. While I was surprised it hadn't been completely taken off as I was led to believe by my mom, her cancer has gotten worse. After the initial surgery to cut out the Merkel cancer, it returned and she had to have a second operation to go in and take out more. They took the tip of her nose. They already have another surgery scheduled. They are going to remove her nose completely. And her dementia is worsening. She doesn't even know what's going on. She thinks she's getting a brand new nose. She'll be lucky to get a prosthetic one.
My uncle, her primary caretaker, is also suffering from a touch of dementia as well. So, he can't take care of her. Enter my mother, who has to do it all.
While my mother was gone to be with my grandmother for her second surgery earlier this month, my dad had a birthday. I gave him a card and he set me down and we had a conversation. Like, an actual conversation. Well, what could be equated to an actual conversation. He mostly talked to me and my responses mostly went ignored as he continued with his monologue. He was the one who told me the doctors were going to take off my grandmother's nose. I was at work during her second surgery when Mom called Dad and told him and then he told me.
He also told me that he was getting a promotion at his job. Sounds like good news. But he doesn't want to take it. He doesn't want all the extra responsibility. In fact, he was planning on retiring in the next year or so. But due to insurance, he wants to keep his job. He's worried about my mom's job. Her hours have been cut at work the past couple of weeks. This isn't an abnormal occurrence but it still worries them. I guess he's worried about retiring and then Mom might lose her job and then they'll be in trouble.
My hours have been cut at work as well. In half. Again, this isn't abnormal. And they always get cut after Christmas. It's a slow time. But things have been going downhill since the middle of last year. My hours have steadily decreased and I'm starting to wonder if this isn't so temporary after all. So, I'm not really contributing to the family and I think everyone is aware of that. Since they don't think I'm going to step up, my dad is, taking on a position he doesn't want and picturing himself working about five years more than he had originally planned, just to help keep up afloat.
I asked him why he would take it if he didn't want to and he repeated that he did it because of my mom. He'll be making more money and having more responsibility but he is doing it to support her, both financially and I suppose as a gesture of love. My chest felt like ice cubes dipped in hot chocolate. I know my dad loves my mom and my sister and me. He just doesn't say it. But he shows it, in those kind of ways, ways a man raised to be hard shows his love. It's with money. It's with hard work. It's with doing the kind of things you don't want to do in order for your family to be more comfortable. And that was great. And that was the hot chocolate feeling. But I didn't want him to be unhappy with his new position. That's where the ice cubes come into play. And I told him this. He shook his head in a dismissive manner. "I'll just have to learn to like it," he said.
He works with my uncle and so he's seen the progression of his mental deterioration as well. He told me it's getting worse. They often have to work out of town and he told me my uncle's balance is so bad that he is constantly falling out of the work vehicles and often falls out of the small hotel showers. The past few times I saw my uncle, I did notice he was covered in small scratches.
grandma's got no nose
My grandmother's health has been declining over the past few years. It's been in small stages. She's fallen. She's developed arthritis. She's become forgetful. She can't start sentences without stopping to correct herself. She's become slovenly. She's frequently light-headed and has intense, reoccurring bouts of shoulder pain. My mother takes her to the doctor to soothe the aches and check on the pains. These trips used to be infrequent but with each day, there seems to be a new ailment that needs to be mended and monitored, so now the ventures are commonplace.
And now my grandmother has skin cancer. Specifically, Merkel Cell Carcinoma, a particularly rare and aggressive form of cancer that is not playing around.
It started when my mother noticed a growth on my grandmother's nose. They went to the doctor to get it checked out. There was a series of appointments and a biopsy. That's when they got the cancer diagnosis. They were referred to another doctor. Between doctor visits, the growth grew in size and severity. Like I said, this cancer doesn't joke. It spreads fast.
It was decided by her doctor that the cancer had to be cut out. There was a possibility it could even spread to her lymph nodes. I worried because her surgery was scheduled about two weeks after her latest appointment. What if the cancer got worse in the mean time?
Surgery day came and while I was at work, Mom texted me with updates. The cancer had not spread to her lymph nodes but the doctor did take a large chunk out of my grandmother's nose.
Afterward, they spoke with a plastic surgeon who offered some not-so-great options for reconstructive surgery, including pulling her forehead skin down or pulling her cheek over and using the tissue to fill in the gap in her nose. These methods would mean multiple surgeries, all of which would require my grandmother to go under anesthesia again, and at her age, it doesn't seem like a good idea.
It's especially not a good idea because not only has my grandmother lost her nose but she's essentially losing her mind as well. My mom told me she suspected my grandmother is suffering from mild dementia. I could have told her that. I've noticed it for years now. I don't know if my mom has only started noticing it due to being around my grandmother so much due to the multiple doctor visits or if she's just been in denial and can no longer refute the obvious.

Ostuni Puglia _
When lit up at night Ostuni is a postcard town. In the morning light, low rolling hills with literally millions of century old olive trees carpet the land as far as the eye can see, and properties stand proud and fenced by dry stone walls. There is not a stone below the olive trees. It looks like the farmers have been collecting every single fragment of the yellow-red material for centuries to construct a gigantic labyrinth of walls that dissect the landscape in every direction.
My treasured friends and a hosts par excellence Gianluca and Mary, really knows how to pick the perfect location for his annual workshops.
As the gates of Masseria Montenapoleone closed behind, we were wrapped in the beauty of this fortified farm which invited us towards the entrance. Oleander bushes, bougainvillea and olive trees lined our path. Bales of hay and an old well still full of water were the first whispers of the activity which would be part of our lives and work during our stay. With "Rustic chic", utility artifacts reformed to a new purpose, and farm instruments of long ago, the Masseria created the warmest and yet so stylish ambiance.
Day speeches and shoots with some of the most talented, most inspiring fellow photographers and planners, were followed by the unbuttoned sense of un-resorty fun, in the company of good friends (both old and new found), distinguished honor guests from all over the globe, feasting, and superb wine tasting.
As my boat from Brindisi departed for Greece my mind was filled with music, ideas, laughter and the ever so genuine hospitality vibes from Giuliano, Masseria Montapoleone owner, orchestrator of all things wonderful, whose acquaintance and company I will always cherish. I felt as gratified and blessed as a man can feel.
In fact, if I could suggest something to every single fellow photographer out there it would be to never miss out on such one-of- a- kind events. Talent is great, but we should always seek after involvement, experience, and vision.
Gianluca, I can't begin to thank you for the magic. Till we meet again in No5 Ostuni Workshop !

As much as I hate spam phone calls, I always make time to take surveys, no matter the subject. Since I have no aspirations to government or title, surveys are my secret path to power. You see, in order to be statistically significant, most surveys rely on getting about 1000 respondents. In a nation of 300,000,000 people, that means that the opinions of every respondent represent about 300,000 people. That's about the size of the city of Pittsburgh, according to the 2010 census, or a bit less than half the size of Washington, DC. Somehow, I find it satisfying to commit that many people to my point of view on laundry detergent or the new fall TV season.
Sometimes, however, marketing people are more selective. There is a market research company here in Raleigh. I am in their database, and sometimes they will call me because I "qualify" for one of their studies. By "qualify", they basically mean demographically, as in "Hey, we need to represent 300,000 males over the age of 50. Let's get John, he'll be surveyed on anything!"
So I got a call from them last night asking if I would be available to take a survey. This one was something medical in nature (they won't tell you ahead of time, but sometimes you can tell from the questions). And sometimes you can tell what answers will get you automatically excluded, like "I don't use nail polish" or "I get all my news from reading my neighbor's mind." But you can never be sure, so I just try to answer the questions honestly and hope for the best.
Two of the screening questions on this survey stuck out though. The first was, "If you could have dinner with anyone (living or dead), who would you choose and why?" This is a great example of one of those questions it's hard to guess correctly on. I'm pretty sure the correct answers are Jesus, Mother Teresa, Barack Obama, Kim Kardashian, and Albert Einstein (in that order). I decided to throw caution to the wind and choose Heather Locklear, in the hopes that they were doing a study of how people handle having dinner with living and/or dead people. (For the record, there are now 300,000 people who want to have dinner with Heather Locklear.)
Now, you'd think that would be the question that would trip me up. You would be wrong. (How could you not see that one coming?) No, one of the other questions was, "Have you ever cancelled a doctor's appointment?" When it comes to doctors, I pretty much go where I'm told (you can read about my trip to the neurologist at the beginning of The Stroke Saga). So I answered, "No, I pretty much go where I'm told."
At the end of the survey, the screener said that I had answered all the questions correctly for the session except one, the appointment cancellation question. Getting people signed up for these survey sessions is a lot like cold calling, in that you have to make a lot of calls in order to get sufficient participation, so she was reluctant to throw back a willing volunteer. So she tells me, "I'm going to contact the client and see if you will meet the criteria."
Today she called me back. I failed. Her exact words were, "They really want people who cancel their appointments all the time." She thanked me for my time and I hung up.
But all I can think about now is,
1) If your main criteria for a survey is irresponsible behavior, how many people do you expect to show up?
2) How is Heather going to feel if she gets stood up by 300,000 people?

Dr Liv Baker (PhD) is a research fellow at the Centre for Compassionate Conservation at the University of Technology of Sydney, Australia. Her research focuses on improving conservation outcomes and the well-being of wild animals through a greater understanding of the ecological roles that individuals have in their communities.
Dr Baker's work also explores the similar patterns of well-being seen across the animal kingdom: that individuals want to have appropriate resources, including shelter and safety; that individuals want to learn about and have control over their lives; that good psychological health corresponds to good physical health; that social context matters; and that challenges and positive emotions are not luxuries, but integral elements to being alive.
Dr Baker is co-founder and co-director of the Center for Animalia Health Studies, a new organization of applied study that seeks to fill a gap of knowledge, understanding, and importantly of synthesis of Animalia that has not been properly filled by other animal-related fields. Animalia Health Studies is a field that has as its first principle that nonhuman animals, like humans, have an interest in the outcomes of their lives; it is a field devoted to asking for Animalia, "what makes life worth living?"
