1 July marked the official opening of Tax Season 2018. If you're a first-time tax filer this may seem daunting - from which paperwork to fill out, to submission dates and accompanying documentation. For this reason, many people opt to make use of tax services to file their returns at a service charge. While the argument may be that they're paying for convenience, is it really worth the extra fee?
"Practitioners will generally charge anywhere upwards of R800 with some larger firms reaching costs of R2500 or more. It would depend on the complexity of the return itself," says TaxTim's marketing strategist, Patrick Knight.
While tax service companies are a dime a dozen, Justmoney has decided to zoom in on two tax services, Smart Tax and Tax Tim, to compare their offerings and fees.
Tip: To learn more about tax-free savings accounts and which offer the best value, click here.
The aspects we chose to compare were costing structure, the service, submission process, turn- around time, refund process and additional features.
While it is hard to compare the two services on a like-for-like basis as it is dependent on a number of factors like the details and nature of your tax submission, their basic services are the same. TaxTim's R284 Lite package seems to just undercut Smart Tax's R300 Standard plan by R16. The same trend seems to be the case throughout the two services' costing structures, with TaxTim coming in as cheaper.
Do it yourself
So now that the professionals have weighed in and made their price, let's look at the DIY option. Would the money you will potentially be saving be worth it?
As everything is done on The South African Revenue Services (SARS) eFiling portal, this is your first point of call, granted you already have your tax number.
To begin the DIY process of filing your own tax returns you need to start by registering.
This process requires you to: Visit http://www.sarsefiling.co.za, select the register button on the left-hand side and select the registration type that applies to you. According to the website, once you have completed the registration details, you will be sent an email with an attached form. This needs to be completed and faxed to SARS along with a copy of your ID. Once received, SARS will issue you with an access number, which will be required for your first login.
Then, when it is time to complete your tax return, you can log into your eFiling profile and complete the simple process online.
How much will it cost?
According to SARS its service will cost you absolutely nothing. Your bank however will still charge you the normal fee for transactions should you make use of the SARS payment options to settle your tax liabilities.
While this may sound like a walk in the park, navigating the eFiling system - especially for a first-time user - can be tricky. Alternatively, you could visit your SARS office during tax season and an official will help you to complete your return. Be sure to take all the necessary documentation with you. This documentation according to the SARS website usually consists of IRP5/IT3(a) Employees Tax Certificate (if applicable), certificates received for local interest income, foreign interest income and foreign dividend income, documents relating to medical expenditure, the income tax certificate(s) received from the financial institution to which contributions for retirement annuities were made and any documentation related to income activities.
Filing your own tax return is definitely the cheaper route, but it also means accepting responsibility for any incorrect details and then corresponding with SARS to fix it (which could take months.).
Further, tax experts advise that if you own a rental property, are a freelancer or have your own business, you may want to enlist a tax service to do the job for you as these returns are typically far more complicated to file.
At the end of the day, it boils down to which is the bigger priority - the convenience of using a tax service or being able to save a few hundred by doing it yourself?
For any assistance visit the SARS website to find your nearest contact centre or call 0800 00 7277.

Lucky DuckPosted: May 31, 2011 Filed under: Breakfast, Cereal, Dinner | Tags: cook outs, fresh bread, smoothies 13 Comments
Hi there! Is everyone excited for an abbreviated workweek? You know I don't like Tuesdays, but since I have a very short week this week, I can handle it 🙂
Monday recap
Yesterday was such a great, lazy day. I love days that have absolutely nothing on the agenda. No "have to's" of any kind. This weekend I slept 9 – 10 hours each night and it was glorious. I guess my body needed to catch up on some sleep!
I spent about an hour at the pool yesterday. Jesus Christ – it was 100 degrees outside! That's a little too hot for me. I also limited my time both pool days because I know being in the sun isn't the best. But, gooosh, I love having a tan!
Post-pool I came back and whipped up a smoothie in no time 🙂
My spinach stash had gone bad, so this was a regular old smoothie (please note my extremely precise measurements):
- Just enough skim milk to get everything movin'
- A handful of ice cubes
- A dollop of blueberry Chobani
- 1 1/2 tbsp PB
- 1 banana
- 1 frozen strawberry
It was tasty, and even though you cannot taste the spinach, I missed it!
Two for two
I made a smoothie, and Cory made a baguette from scratch. No big deal.
He's never made bread. He just felt like giving it a try. It turned out so well! I even snagged a huge chunk to eat at lunch today 🙂
Cory was actually 2 for 2 in the kitchen yesterday. We had a little cookout and he made the best burgers I have ever tasted in my entire life. Truly, they were out of this world. How lucky am I? Seriously.
Gross picture, I know. But this was the only one I took. The food was hot and ready to be eaten, so I really didn't take the time to try and be creative. You forgive me, right? 😉
(PS – We didn't have any butter for the corn, so I sprinkled some parmesan cheese on the cob and it was quite a nice substitute!)
Movin' Out
Cory moves into our new place in less than a month (!!), so he spent a good chunk of time cleaning out his closet. Look at all this stuff he's sending to Goodwill!
A good amount of t-shirts were Longwood related, and it was kind of sad to see them placed into the give away pile. I would see a shirt and think "You wore that on such-and-such date." It was strange!
Tuesday Workout
Remember how I said I've been getting 9 – 10 hours of sleep for the past few days? Yeah. Well, when my alarm went off at the ass-crack of dawn, I didn't budge. An afternoon workout is in my future.
Tuesday Breakfast
I am running so low on food right now! Like I said, it's a short week for me because I'm traveling this weekend, so I'm trying to avoid buying food that will go bad. That said, I went to the grocery store at 6 AM to buy juuust enough to get me through the next three days 🙂
Thank goodness I made the decision to go to the store – how would I have been able to enjoy my beloved cereal combo without milk?!
Quaker oatmeal squares, Special K Multi Grain Oats & Honey, Cheerios, banana, almond slivers
Well, my friends – that's the story so far! I'm off to make the bacon 🙂 I'll catch you guys later!
Let's chat:
Have you ever made bread from scratch? I sure haven't!
What's your favorite smoothie concoction? Plain and simple: PB & banana, (and spinach) for me!
My Day in PicturesPosted: March 14, 2011 Filed under: 30-Day Picture Challenge, Desserts, Dinner, Family, Lunch, Wedding | Tags: candy stores, dress shopping, Lillian B. Rubin, mother of the bride, smoothies, The Man with the Beautiful Voice 7 Comments
Hey hey, blog friends!! I hope your day has been fabulous! Because I was so busy this weekend, I didn't keep up with my 30 day picture challenge. So let's pick up where we left off, shall we?
Day 16 is a picture of your day. I thought it might be fun to recap my day in a couple pictures 🙂
Lunch was a smoothie – 1/2 a banana, frozen blueberries, 1 tablespoon of Nutella, 3/4 cup milk, a tablespoon of Vanilla Chobani and a hand full of ice cubes 🙂
The afternoon was spent with my mom shopping for her Mother of the Bride dress. We were unsuccessful, but it was fun! (Sorry for the unevenness of the dress. This was the only place in the dressing room with enough light!)
I got some fantastic samples of Gnu Food bars. They are so delish! Stay tuned for a give away! 😉
Cory and I made a tasty dinner of whole wheat penne, tomato sauce, grilled chicken, broccoli, yellow peppers and onion. It was so simple, yet so good!
We went out to the Apple store (again) to see what time they're opening tomorrow and we passed a candy store (Cory's favorite thing) on our way out. Obviously we had to stop in 😉
I wasn't in the mood for candy, so my after dinner treat was an apple and Nutella.
Now I'm relaxing and getting ready to start a book for a paper that's due next week. Good thing it actually seems interesting 🙂
Enjoy the rest of your night! 😀
Let's chat – What's the last book you read? Gummy/fruity candy vs chocolate? Have you ever had a Gnu Food bar?
Red Wine & New SneaksPosted: March 6, 2011 Filed under: Breakfast, Shopping | Tags: cajun chicken, Nike, running shoes, smoothies, Whey protein powder, wine 22 Comments
I GOT TO SLEEP IN TODAY! 😀 It was glorious, friends.
I have a fun day planned with my BFF Jamie. We haven't seen each other in three (?!) weeks. It's disgusting. We're having lunch today and playing catch up.
Yesterday I had my volunteer training, and Cory was kind enough to plan dinner so I didn't have to think about it. He's the best. He even bought a bottle of wine for us to enjoy while we were making dinner. We're NOT wine-o's at all. We've been together for almost five years and this is the first bottle of wine that we've ever purchased (like, not as a gift for someone else). All you wine lovers out there, pick your jaws off the ground 😉
I really enjoy white wine over red. But this was red, and I'm trying to be more "well rounded" so I drank it. I'm trying to acquire the taste 🙂 While I was working on "acquiring," Cory grilled up some Cajun chicken with a cilantro/yogurt sauce with veggies and a salad on the side. It was great!!
After dinner we went out to Dick's on the hunt for some new sneaks. I had mentioned my awful shin and ankle pains, and many of you suggested new shoes. I figured that was the problem, so out we went! Let me preface this with the fact that I don't like spending money on myself. I'm frugal and I'm proud of it 🙂 It takes a lot for me to go out and buy something for myself. I was standing in line at Dick's with sweaty palms because I knew I was about to drop $120 on a pair of shoes and a sports bra. It's a problem.
But I love the shoes! They're so comfy!
I also love how flexible they are!
I wanted to try them out at the gym this morning. I was being a huge diva because it was pouring and I didn't want to get my new shoes (or myself) wet. But I sucked it up and walked over to the gym, only to find that it was locked! The card access is never activated. Sonofabitch. I walked back to Cory's apartment and threw in the towel. Sorry guys, I'm only human 🙂 (The shoes felt nice of the walk over, though!)
When I came back I made myself a nice smoothie 🙂 Half a banana, some frozen blueberries, one frozen strawberry, 3/4 cup skim milk, ~1 tbsp cocoa powder and half a scoop of strawberry Whey protein powder.
Now I've got to get the ball rolling and shower so I can look presentable for my lunch date 😉 I hope you have a wonderful day!
Let's chat – What brand are your running shoes? White vs red wine? Do you have a favorite smoothie concoction? I need some new ideas!

Molly Mettler champions the power of the patient: "Consumers are the greatest untapped resource in health care. If we want to build a better health care system, we must first build a better patient."
As a Senior Vice President for Healthwise, Mettler advocates for a transformation in the role of the health care consumer from a passive recipient to one who's stronger, more active, and involved in his or her own care. A well-known speaker, Mettler explores topics critical to health care institutions, businesses, and government, including self-care, consumer issues, vital aging, doctor-patient communication, and information therapy. A key media resource, Mettler has been quoted in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The Boston Globe and on NPR, among others.
Particularly passionate about health care for people age 50 and better, Mettler is past chair of the National Council on Aging (NCOA.) and continues to serve on its Board and Leadership Council. She was the founding chair for the NCOA's Health Promotion Institute in 1990. That group honored her contributions by creating the "Molly Mettler Award" for leadership in health promotion. In 2006, Mettler was honored with the Geneva Mathiasen Award from NCOA for her major contributions.
Mettler serves on the National Advisory Board for the Practice Change Fellows Program, a two-year fellowship supporting health professionals in developing leadership skills and content expertise to positively influence care for older adults.
Mettler has written four books, including Healthwise® for Life, now in its seventh edition with more than four million copies in distribution. Her latest book, co-authored with Donald W. Kemper, is Information Therapy: Prescribed Information as a Reimbursable Medical Service.
Keenly interested in issues around workplace well-being, Mettler has been instrumental in the development of Healthwise's much-admired corporate culture and progressive employment practices. With her colleagues, her efforts in this area have been nationally recognized: in 2007 The Wall Street Journal named Healthwise one of fifteen "Top Small Workplaces" in the country.
Ms. Mettler holds a B.A in Psychology from Antioch College and a M.S.W. from the University of Washington.
The Center for Advancing Health works to increase people's engagement in their health care.
All Americans act to fully benefit from their health care.
Work with policy makers, clinicians, and communities to more effectively support people's engagement in their health care.
Produce and disseminate research news stories that people can use to inform decisions about their health and health care.
Offer Be a Prepared Patient resources to help people find good health care and make the most of it.
Since it was founded in 1992, the Center for Advancing Health has aimed to increase people's engagement in their health and health care.
While advances in medical knowledge have been responsible for steady increases in the length and quality of life of Americans, the potential of health care to improve individual and population health in the future rests increasingly in the hands of individuals. Whether we are sick or well, we will not benefit from the expertise of health professionals and the technologies they deploy unless we participate actively and knowledgably in our own care. More

Going to the dentist isn't anyone's favorite activity, but for some, just the idea of a dental visit is enough to make a chill go up their spine. This dental phobia is far from rare, and it leads many patients to avoid regular care until they are in an extreme amount of dental pain, which usually leads to even more dental-related anxiety!
At Chisholm Trail Dental Health, we do our best to create a friendly and comfortable atmosphere that can help even the most nervous patient relax. For those that require a little more care, sedation dentistry can easily help persistent dental nerves melt away. We offer a variety of sedation options that can be completely tailored to every patient, ensuring that despite whatever kind of treatment they may need, they will feel calm and cool the entire time.
Sedation can be safely used with both children and adults, and we would be happy to discuss your options to ensure that your next appointment is 100% stress-free. Give us a call today to learn more.
The most popular types of dental sedation are nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation. Different levels of sedation (mild, moderate and deep) can be utilized depending on individual needs. Before administering any sedative, Dr. Asay will analyze the full medical history of a patient, taking note of any current medications.
Here is an overview of some of the most common types of dental sedatives:
For patients who experience mild to moderate dental phobia, oral conscious sedation is usually our top recommendation. Oral medication is prescribed prior to treatment, and the patient will be instructed to take it the day of their appointment. This approach helps someone feel completely physically and mentally relaxed in the chair, but they will likely not fall asleep. Time will seem to fly by quickly, and most patients have little to no memory of their visit afterward.
You probably know nitrous oxide by another name—"laughing gas." It's perfect for patients who need just a little help relaxing during their routine checkups and cleanings, and it's so gentle that we can even use it with small children. Once inhaled, a patient will quickly feel calmer as all anxiety drains out of them. We can adjust the amount of nitrous oxide a patient is receiving throughout their appointment based on their comfort level. Afterward, a patient won't experience any lasting drowsiness or numbness from the sedation, meaning they can go straight back to their day.
With IV sedation, a sedative is administered directly into the bloodstream to help a patient quickly relax and feel a sense of calm. We typically use this for shorter procedures, and most patients say that it makes them feel like they slept through their appointment (though most remain conscious the entire time). We recommend IV sedation for patients with extreme dental phobia or who have mental/physical special needs that make receiving routine care difficult and/or uncomfortable.
Dr. Asay can prescribe one of a number of different sedatives based on a patient's anxiety level and the length of the procedure they need. The ones he uses most often are:

When a modern company has some extra money, creative executives have refined the art of rolling that money upwards towards themselves often starving other efforts. Even so, while car company R&D budgets are generally healthy, they may not be enough to make a major breakthrough in 21st century car technology. What if that's what Apple is planning to do?
There was a time, years ago when analysts asked Steve Jobs what Apple would do with all its money. That was back when Apple only had about $76 billion in holdings. Steve Jobs said:
We'd like to continue to keep our powder dry, because we do feel that there are one or more strategic opportunities in the future. That's the biggest reason.
Typically analysts and observers have thought in terms of a giant acquisition. That's how traditional companies have thought in the past. Buy up the competition, acquire patents and talent, lay off the low-productivity workers and gobble up market share.
Regrettably, the combination of low margin businesses and the desire of every executive to demonstrate success by virtue of their wealth has left few companies in a position to spend a groundbreaking amount of money on completely shattering their competitive marketplace.
However, that's exactly what Apple may be preparing to do with its "Titan" car project.
Now is the moment in time when Apple can make a major contribution to the electric car. Heretofore, electric cars have either been a hedge against the future or a move to meet U.S. Government total emission regulations by partitioning their product line into some percentage of electric cars. And while Apple may not be able to achieve a fundamental breakthrough in battery technology, the intelligent combination of all technologies could create a car whose whole is more than the sum of its parts.
That's not to say that some companies aren't all in with a great vision. Tesla sees things differently and is making great cars, but they haven't made a lot of money doing it.
And so the Apple strategy has to be:
- A grand vision of what a 21st century car should be like.
- Seriously large amount of R&D to make major breakthroughs.
- A keen connection to the modern technical buyer's mentality in terms of the purchase experience and automotive experience.
- A plan to actually make money rather than lose money with the final product.
Over at Mac360, Will Gomez wrote, insightfully: "What to Expect From Apple Car." Here's a notable excerpt.
Historically, Apple tends to look at product markets through different lenses than those already churning out traditional products in the same industry. The Mac? Much different than DOS PCs or even the Apple II before it. iPod? Different. iPhone and iPad? Different. Watch? Different. All those products set the design standard and moved their respective industry segments forward and the rest of the competition followed.
As for making money, the analysis at Asymco says:
To break into the top 10 brands would imply a production volume of at least 2.5 million units (about the same as Daimler ships today.) At 2.65 million and a price of $55k/vehicle Apple's revenues from cars would total about $145 billion. This is roughly the sales value of the iPhone business today. Not bad. Maybe that would satisfy a financial analyst.
And so. All the pieces are in place. Apple has the cash to make a breakthrough. They have the experience to disrupt the industry. And Apple knows how to make money in the process.
That Steve Jobs powder is set to explode.

Robert Heinlein predicted robot vacuum cleaners and Computer Aided Design (CAD), but he called them, charmingly, electric drafting boards. Arthur C. Clarke developed the original idea for the geosynchronous satellite.
Even so, the visual and story telling power of the Star Trek series has cemented certain technological notions in our culture that have been so powerful, high technology companies like Apple and Google are rushing head long into creating them with modern day technology.
Sometimes the vision is somewhat askew and doesn't take into account modern social mores. Like Google Glass. And sometimes the vision is so spot on that engineers devote their entire lives to instantiating the vision. For example, the development of computers we can talk to—like Siri.

Watch the embedded video in the article linked above, with Captain Kirk asking questions of the ship's computer, asking it to make correlations and asking it to bring up a photo history and you'll see a perfect example of how powerful visual stories can inspire generations of technologists to turn a compelling dream contained in fiction into modern reality.
This the stuff that inspires technically minded people and can influence their entire career. (As it did for me.) The futuristic thinking of Mr. Roddenberry is recreating our society, and perhaps that's one reason why the iPhone is so amazingly popular and has enthusiasts in a frenzy every September. With visions of the Star Trek future always fresh in our minds, it's no wonder no one wants to be left behind.
Apple has certainly tapped into that meme.

THE body running Buckinghamshire's hospitals and healthcare services could be facing a £5million deficit by the end of the year.
The stark financial warning came at Bucks Healthcare NHS Trust's monthly board meeting in Aylesbury.
Tom Travers, Director of Finance, painted a gloomy picture of the organisation's monetary outlook as he told other health bosses and members of the public that forecasts were deteriorating.
He told the meeting on Wednesday: "After celebrating a reasonably strong financial performance in the AGM it's disappointing to report a concerning position as regards the trust finances as of month five.
"The position as it is reflected, it would be remiss not to report the movement in terms for forecast.
"While we are at break even to date you will see the combination of those factors have increased the risk range in terms of the trust's forecast outcome position.
"Worst case scenario has deteriorated from £3m deficit at year's end to a potential £5m deficit at year's end and it's that worst case scenario that our recovery action plan seeks to address.
"Clearly this level of financial performance is putting a lot of pressure on the cash position."
He added: "Operational issues continue to put pressure on budgets across the organisation.
"The urgent care pathway is driving excess cost through the A and E department and through the bed capacity of the organisation."
Clinical Commissioning Groups in Bucks have supported the trust with a £4.5m cash advance and daily dialogue is occurring with all relevant funding bodies, he added, to help the situation.
Temporary borrowing is being discussed with the NHS Trust Development Authority.

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan has already been making headlines because of the Blackbuck poaching case. Now that the man is free from it, Saif enjoys a relaxing day with his wife Kareena and son Taimur.
Saif was acquitted in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case.
Dressed in a casual t-shirt, pants and heavy beard, Saif looked perfectly at ease with baby Taimur in his arms. Even Taimur looked excited to take a dip in the pool. Where Saif's style was completely laid back, Kareena was raising the heat in her scorching hot yellow beach outfit.
Other than the Pataudi family, Sister Karisma Kapoor along with rumoured boyfriend Sandeep Toshniwal and best friend Amrita Arora were also present for the play date. Many actors and friends came to visit Said Ali Khan after his return from Jodhpur.
On the work front, Saif will be next seen in Netflix's original Indian series Sacred Games, which is based on a novel by Vikram Chandra. Saif will play a Sikh Police officer in the show and it will also star Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Radhika Apte.

The Electoral College will determine the next president of the United States. Not polls, and not even primaries. Campaigns have to answer the question "How does a candidate get to 270 electoral votes?" Any republican candidate coming into a general election is already behind the democrat based on historically red to blue states. A fun website to see this dynamic is 270towin.com where the electoral map is interactive. Primary results can, however, help us see how voter will choose in swing states. In the end, the fate of any nominee will come down to about 10 states.
Add up the electoral votes from red and blue states, you'll see that any republican will likely receive 191 votes. Any democrat will, likely, get 217. That's right off the bat. Ten other states are "up-for-grabs", and they are NV, CO, IA, WI, OH, VA, NH, FL, PA and NC. The historical voting record of these 10 states shows that only 8 states that are true tossups. Some experts say PA is a swing state, but it's gone blue since 1992. Some say that NC is a swing state, but it's only gone blue once in the last nine presidential cycles. Only the excitement from Obama's 2008 campaign carried it into Democratic country. If we nestle NC and PA into the appropriate colors, the new count is 237 Dems and 206 GOP. This may look like a close race between the parties, but it isn't. If the republican candidate won six of the remaining 8 states, the candidate would still lose the White House. The final count would be Dems 270 to 268 Rep. If the Dem won the exact same 6 states, the final results would be 299 to 239 in favor of the Dems. Those six states are NV, CO, IA, WI, OH and VA. Based on the eight states I've outlined, or even the 10 states "experts" outline, it is nearly impossible for a republican to win in 2016.
But, I could be wrong. I'm really only basing my prediction on historical elections since 1960 and this year is breaking all the rules. It may actual boil down to the candidates. As caucuses and primaries roll out across the country, we can look at actual results of these contests to see who may likely win swing states. As of right now, two swing states have cast votes: NH and IA. In fact, many of the primaries are absolutely meaningless to general elections. South Carolina gets tons of coverage for the Democratic primary. But everyone knows SC isn't in play. The last time SC voted Dem was 1976, and that was for a native son (or at least, a neighboring native son) in an election against Gerald Ford. In fact, none of the southern states are really in play. The only primaries anyone should care about as predictors for who will win in the general election are swing states.
We can't analysis the IA caucus because the Iowa Democratic Party doesn't, or at least, hasn't released raw numbers for voter turnout. We can infer a few things though. If you look at the general election trends within IA over the last two cycles, you'll see that Obama received six thousand less votes in 2012 than he did in 2008. Inversely, the Republican candidate received nearly 50,000 more votes in 2012 compared to 2008. Total voter turnout was basically the same for both elections. If this trend continues, IA will likely go red in 2016. But that's really just an educated guess.
New Hampshire is a different story. We have actual voter turnout numbers for both parties. The total number of voters in both the Republican and Democratic primaries were 535,094. Of that total, more republicans came out to vote than democrats, but only slightly more. Of the 535,094, 53% were red voters and 47% were blue. Based on these numbers, NH would go red giving its 4 electoral votes to the republican candidate.
This would also fit into the trend of NH over the last two election cycles. Though Obama won the state in 2008 and 2012, he won by a smaller margin in 2012 than 2008. In fact, a similar deficit shows up in NH as IA. Obama received 15,000 less votes in 2012 than the previous cycle while the republican candidate received over 13,000 more votes.
Interestingly, we see a different story when we compare the voter turnout for individual candidates in NH. Of all the votes cast in the primary, Trump received over 100,000 of them. Clinton did not break 100,000 votes, only getting 95,252. So, a head-to-head contest between Clinton and Trumps in NH shows that Trump would likely win when comparing total party votes and individual candidate votes.
If you compare Trump's votes to Sanders, you get a different result. Sanders received more than 150,000 votes in the primary. This means that he would clearly beat Trump in a head-to-head contest based on primary voters. Of course, because of the Electoral College, the democrats can lose NH in the general election and still easily win the White House. Inversely, NH is a critical state for the republican candidate.
As more swing state voters cast their ballots, we can use actual turnout and votes to predict the next president. Everything else is just noise.

Your new Webbishly Website is built on a theme which can be customized whenever you like using the Divi Theme Customizer.
Imagine building a house and deciding you wanted the kitchen in a different place. Naturally, this would entail all kinds of money and permits and, most of all, time.
But unlike your home, your Webbishly Website is easily switched around and changed as your business needs change. You can do it right inside your dashboard using the theme customizer. Sometimes, you don't know what you want until you see it.
As you're learning what you like, and what looks good, the customizer helps you easily and efficiently make changes like a new color scheme, a different font group, menu placement, boxed or unboxed layout, and even your site identity.
That's not the half of it, but we don't recommend changing everything all at once. The best method for tweaking your site is to do two or three changes at a time, and then testing whether you like the result. As you make these changes, keep a log of what you did (take a screenshot or write it down in a notes file) so you know where to go back and restore the original setup.
Your other option is to make a backup copy before making changes (If you have a Webbishly Website, you'll have UpDraftPlus or another backup plugin already installed), and then dive in with your new ideas.
If it all looks crazy afterward, and doesn't work, you can reinstall your backup copy to get back to where you were.
Still another option is to install a plugin that keeps track of your history of edits. Simple History will let you select a previous edit and then save your work, so that everything goes back to where you wanted it. (Don't you wish there were a plugin for everyday life that would do the same?)
For a deeper dive into the theme customizer, get the ultimate guide to the Divi Theme Customizer here. It will show you where to find the controls you need.

"Refreshing…[McKinley] writes a sonorous, deliberately repetitive prose that, in its somber rhythms, evokes the sounds of Middle Earth as well as of ancient bards.

Mollymook News
editor Ken Banks
The 2017 Surf Club Presentation night was a huge success with a star studded cast being recognised with a multitude of awards.
Highlights included: Boys U/15 relay team with Gold at State and National titles, 260 Masters boat crew Gold & Tony Ireland Gold in the master surf tube race, both at Nationals. Rod Austin was acknowledged for 50 years patrol service and long service awards also went to Kevin and Sue Whitford, John Patterson, Keith Claxton, Mick Bond, Wendy Austin and Ivan Johnson. Tony Ireland was 'Club Person' of the year, Eadan Burton Junior Club person of the year, Chloe Scott junior champion competitor, with Mal Dowler the 'Quiet achiever' award.
Champion patrol to No 14 patrol captained by Dave Johnson and Patrol person of the year to Leonie Hicks.
As a club Mollymook received a plaque from Surf Life Saving NSW for 'Champion Country Surf Club' at the NSW Titles.
It was night reflective of a GREAT surf club. Rod thanked the organisers for this wonderful evening with numerous photos attached, compliments of photographer extraordinaire Kim Matthews.
The young entrepreneur's Erin & Ben takes on an adjoining shop front overlooking the harbour to further his ambitions bringing 'wholesome' food to the Ulladulla locals and the many tourist who visit this beautiful coastal area. Opened a little over a year ago, with enthusiastic young staff and creative food mixes they quickly established the Native Cafe as the 'cutting edge' cafe in the local area.
Their most recent innovation besides acquiring the adjoining shop front was to employ one of Bannister's top chefs to add further variety and eloquence to their menu offerings. Besides all this, the Native Cafe commands the most prestiges location looking onto Ulladulla harbour.
The writer and his friends all agree on one thing, the food and coffee offerings are exceptional. The only difficulty the elderly writer has is getting his head around some of the descriptive names given by these youngsters to the various meals.
A 'Daybreak Bowl'? It's obviously that healthy wholesome meal you start the day with!
'Smooshed avo'? Isn't that obvious? It's mashed avocado?
'Googs on toast'? Silly me, isn't it another name for eggs?
For dummies like me, my wife says "just read the ingredients and you will quickly see what is in each dish" Alternatively be like my friend, he observes with absolute amazement the spectacular dishes others receive and then says "I'll have one of them". Don't let me put you off. The food and coffee offerings are to be savoured, and like me and my elderly friends, you will keep coming back.

For some people, finding a reliable dentist in Windsor can be a daunting task. However, this process can be made a lot easier and more convenient by taking a few simple steps. With so many dental professionals around, it's crucial to know which dentist is qualified and trained to handle your dentistry needs. It is advisable that you choose the dentist well in advance, so that you do not make a quick decision. The following are some key factors to consider when looking for a reliable dental professional near you:
When looking for a reliable dentist in Windsor, the first thing you should check is whether or not the dental professional is properly qualified and certified. The dentist you choose must have gone through a series of comprehensive exams and tests. The majority of dentists are highly qualified and are familiar with the latest developments in the area of family dentistry in Windsor. It is recommended that you always choose this type of dental professional.
A good dentist will have good communication skills. These types of skills are needed to ensure that the dentist is able to understand the specific requirements of patients and address their concerns with care and attention. If your dentist is unable to establish a clear communication channel with you, then it means that he or she is not capable enough to meet your needs. Thus, you should opt for a dental professional that communicates well.
Be sure to pay a personal visit to the dental office before deciding which dentist is the right choice for you. When you visit the clinic, it is important to analyze the surroundings and see if the environment is hygienic and clean. Patients always prefer a clinic that is safe for them. If you notice floors that are dirty and give off a bad odour, then it is a sign that the clinic does not adhere to the established standards of cleanliness and hygiene.
Determine the total number of years the prospective dental professional has been in practice. You ought to find someone who has been practicing for a lengthy period of time. Not only does an experienced dental professional have accurate knowledge regarding the best dentistry practices, but he or she will be able to recommend the most suitable solutions. Preferably, it is advisable to choose a dentist who has been practicing for more than five years.
Asking for recommendations and suggestions on the best dentists that practice family dentistry in Windsor is always helpful. Talk with people you know, such as your friends and family members, about the best dentists in the area. They will likely be able to refer you to a dependable and highly qualified dental professional. By choosing a dentist by word of mouth, you can rest assured that you will be provided with the best level of oral care and service.
With that said, it is imperative that you consider all of these aspects prior to making any final decision. These things will help you make a good decision.

Please summarize the book a la Twitter style for the readers here:
A half-djinn investigator and her eclectic paranormal crew of an incubus, skinwalker, and moon witch investigate the disappearance of dozens of mated werewolf pairs, which leads them to a fertility research center funded by the most deadly enemy they've ever faced.
Please share a few Fun facts about this book:
Ooh, let's see. It features the patron goddess of werewolves, who happens to be a fan of Seattle goth/grunge and video games. The main female MC Shiloh still maintains great relationships with both of her parents, especially her mother Elspeth, who is again integral to solving this book's central mystery. A lot more Team Tennyson versus Team Jaxon moments. Plenty of magic. Snark. Sacrifice. Novak lets his incubus side out to play.
Was there a scene in this book that was harder to write than others?
I often find fight scenes with multiple characters to be difficult to write, so the climax of this book was pretty hard. Without spoiling anything, there is an epic battle between the good guys and their allies, and a bunch of bad guys, on different floors of a single building. And with the book being written in first-person, I could only show what was happening from the POV of my heroine on-page–but I still had to know what everyone else was doing while Shiloh was fighting. So that leads to a lot of extra writing that never makes it into the book, so I know what's happened when all the characters come together once the big battle is over.
Without revealing too much, what is your favorite scene in the book?
Gosh, I don't know if I have one specific scene. I do love anytime Shiloh and Tennyson are on-page together, and not because I'm Team Tennyson. Tennyson is a five-hundred year-old Master vampire, whose sworn enemy are djinn and his natural prey are humans. Shiloh is half of both worlds, and she fascinates him. Their banter is so much fun, and I really enjoy exploring their relationship dynamic, and watching it grow from book one and their very first scene together, to where they end up by the end of Stray Moon. They both change and grow so much.
What do you want people to take away from reading this book?
I'd say "don't trust the government" but that may be a little too on the nose right now, so how about "family is what you make it." I used similar themes of found family in both my Dreg City and MetaWars series, where non-blood-related characters come together to create a new kind of family that loves and supports each other. The Strays series had a lot of back-stabbing and double-agent stuff going on, but there is also a core group of characters who love each other, protect each other, and they are each other's family. Not everyone in the real world has that sort of support from blood family, especially those who identify as LGBTQIA+, so it's important to show that family doesn't have to be related by blood to love each other unconditionally.
Stray Moon
(Strays #2)
by Kelly Meding
Expected Publication: February 5th 2019
Para-Marshal Shiloh Harrison has always been a great number two for the East Coast unit. But after her boss is found dead (having betrayed the paranormals he was sworn to protect), she's suddenly thrust into a leadership role she isn't prepared for. And it doesn't help that she traded away memories of one of her most important team members to save another's life during her last mission.
Too, she's in charge of a unit that is mired in bureaucratic red tape, meaning she's essentially under house arrest. But a West Coast Para-Marshal has astral-projected a warning: werewolves are going missing, and she needs Shiloh's help. Last time it was vampires. This time it's werewolves. Half-djinn herself, she knows she can't just sit around and do nothing while paranormals are getting snatched. Her old boss may have broken his oath, but Shiloh will do anything to serve and protect.

Christ Falls on the Way to Calvary - by RAFFAELLO Sanzio - from Museo del Prado, Madrid
I was on my way to the fields when I saw Him carrying His Cross,
and multitudes were following Him.
Then I too walked beside Him.
His burden stopped Him many a time, for His body was exhausted.
Then a Roman soldier approached me, saying,
"Come, you are strong and firm built,
carry the Cross of this Man."
When I heard these words my heart swelled within me
and I was grateful.
And I carried His Cross.
It was heavy, for it was made of poplar
soaked through with the rains of winter.
And Jesus looked at me. And the sweat of His forehead
was running down upon His beard.
Again He looked at me and He said, "Do you too drink this cup?
You shall indeed sip its rim with Me to the end of time."
So saying He placed His Hand upon my free shoulder.
And we walked together towards the Hill of the Skull.
But now I felt not the weight of the Cross.
I felt only His Hand.
And it was like the wing of a bird upon my shoulder.
Then we reached the hill top,
and there they were to crucify Him.
And then I felt the weight of the tree.
He uttered no word when they drove the nails
into His Hands and Feet, nor made He any sound.
And His Limbs did not quiver under the hammer.
It seemed as if He sought the nails
as the prince would seek the sceptre,
and that He craved to be raised to the heights.
And my heart did not think to pity Him,
for I was too filled with wonder.
Now, the Man Whose Cross I carried has become my Cross.
Should they say to me again, "Carry the cross of this Man,"
I would carry it til my road ended at the grave.
But I would beg Him to place His Hand upon my shoulder.
This happened many years ago;
and still whenever I follow the furrow in the field,
and in that drowsy moment before sleep,
I think always of that Beloved Man.
And I feel His winged Hand, here, on my left shoulder.
Matthew 11:28-30 . . . "Come to Me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke and put it on you, and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in spirit; and you will find rest. For the yoke I will give you is easy, and the load I will put on you is light."

Natesan, J.
1. Two questions are raised in this Letters Patent Appeal from the decision of our learned brother, Kailasam, J. First it is contended that the suit not having been instituted in conformity with and as provided for under the Madras Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act, Madras Act XIX of 1951, hereinafter referred to as the Act, it is barred under Section 93 of the Act. Next it is submitted that the suit is bad for non-joinder of the other trustees of the religious institution in question.
2. The appellant before us is the first defendant in a suit filed by the villagers of Kadambur, Athur Taluk, Salem District, represented by their Nattamaikarar Nallathambi Moopanar, as the plaintiff, for a declaration that the suit building belonged to the villagers and the second defendant in the suit, the District Board, Salem, was their tenant. An injunction was prayed for restraining the first defendant in the suit, the present appellant, from interfering with suit property. The first defendant is one of the trustees of certain temples in the village, and it is the case of the plaintiff that the first defendant fraudulently obtained an order from the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Board to the effect that the suit property is a property of the temples. It is seen that on proceedings taken by the first defendant under Section 87 of the Act (Miscellaneous Petition No. 73 of 1957) for possession of the suit property, the second defendant who was in occupation of the property as a tenant of the plaintiff attorned to the first defendant on 20-5-1957. The second defendant subsequently on 20-12-1957 sent to the plaintiff a memo to the effect that the suit property had been included as temple property, and that the first defendant claimed to be entitled to receive the rents. This, according to the plaintiff, necessitated his filing the suit for a declaration of the title of the villagers to the suit property and for an injunction against the first defendant. The plaintiff would state that the order obtained by the first defendant from the H.R. and C.E. Board was not binding on the plaintiff and it could be ignored by the villagers.
3. In its written statement the second defendant Board expressed its willingness to pay the rent to such person as the Court might declare to be entitled to receive the rent. Besides setting up a plea that though the suit building was built by the villagers it had been dedicated to the temples in the village and therefore it is a public religious institution, the first defendant strenuously contended that the suit should have been in conformity with Section 62 of the Act, filed in the Sub-Court, which alone had jurisdiction. A plea of non-joinder of the other trustees of the temple was raised and the written statement specifically set up the order under Section 87 of the Act as a bar to the suit as instituted.
4. The learned District Judge, on an elaborate consideration of the evidence, oral and documentary, upheld the plaintiff's claim that the second defendant Board had entered on the possession of the suit property as tenant under the person who was then in management of the property as Nattamaikarar of the villagers and was continuing in possession of the property. He found that there was no proof that at any point of time the temples enjoyed the suit property or appropriated the income from the suit property which was constructed from subscriptions collected from the villagers. For the first time in 1956 the H. R. and C. E. Board had passed orders treating the suit property as belonging to the village temples and appointing the first defendant and two other persons as trustees issued a certificate under Section 87 of the Act. It is seen from the record that for sometime previously the first defendant had been seeking to convince the second defendant not to pay the rent to the plaintiff in his capacity as Nattamaikarar of the village. The learned District Judge observes that the first defendant chagrined at his failure in convincing the second defendant Board not to pay the rent to the plaintiff in his capacity as Nattamaikarar of the village must have induced the H. R. and C. E. Board authorities to include the suit property as part of temple property and appoint trustees for the temples with a direction to take possession of the suit property, and that evidently the first defendant thought 'that unless he adopted such sharp practice' he could not prevent the plaintiff in his capacity as Nattamaikarar of the village from collecting the rent from the second defendant board'. We may add here that the plaintiff, either in his individual capacity or as Nattamaikarar of the village, was not made a party to the proceedings before the H. R. and C. E. Board, and as pointed out by the plaintiff, the orders of the Board had been obtained behind his back without any reference to him and obviously without bringing to the notice of the Board the dispute relating to title to the suit property.
5. We fail to see how on the facts as pleaded and as have now emerged it would be said that the suit is barred by any law. Manifestly it is just a common law suit by the person duly representing the owners of the property for a declaration of title of the villagers against their tenant who sets up a third party's title and pleads attornment to the third party. The plaintiff has chosen to implead in the suit, besides the tenant, the person who according to him induces the tenant not to pay the rents to the plaintiff, and who eo nomine obtained an order for possession under Section 87 of the Act. The argument for the appellant is that Section 93 of the Act read with Sections 57, 62 and 87 bars the suit as instituted. In our view, this plea was rightly overruled by the learned District Judge. Our learned brother, Kailasam, J., has examined the plea at length and affirmed its untenability. Section 93 bars suits or other legal proceedings in respect of the administration or management of a religious institution or any other matter or dispute for determining or deciding which provision is made in the Act, except under| and in conformity with the provisions of the Act. It is nobody's contention that the present suit relates to the administration or management of a religious institution. The next question is whether the suit relates to any other matter or dispute for determining or deciding which provision is made in the Act. Clearly there is no provision in the Act for determination of the dispute as raised in the suit. This is a simple suit by the landlord against his tenant who sets up title in a third party. Relief is no doubt claimed also against the parson who happens to be one of the trustees of the institution on the averment that he is interfering with the lawful and due realisation of the rent by the plaintiff from the second defendant Board. Under Section 9, C. P. C. a litigant having a grievance of a civil nature has, independently of any statute, a right to institute, a suit in a Civil Court under the provisions of the Civil Procedure Code, unless cognisance of the suit is either expressly or impliedly barred. If a suit is otherwise within the jurisdiction of the Civil Court the person who seeks to oust the Jurisdiction of that Court must affirmatively establish the bar, every presumption being in favour of the jurisdiction of the Court. Exclusion of the jurisdiction of a Civil Court in a case whert a person asserts a right and seeks remedy cannot be readily inferred. Exclusion of the suit in question from the cognisance of the Court must be either expressly expressed or clearly and necessarily implied. A reading of Section 93 shows that it does not impose an absolute bar on the maintainability of a suit in a Civil Court. It provides, that a suit of the nature contemplated therein, can be instituted only in conformity with the provisions of the Act. Clearly a suit or other legal proceedings in respect of matters not contemplated in the section can be instituted in the ordinary way. Section 93 imposes certain statutory restrictions in respect of suits mentioned therein, suits relating to the administration or management of a religious institution or any other matter or dispute for determining or deciding which provision is made in the Act. The suits under the two categories mentioned in the section must be instituted under and in conformity with the provisions of the Act This last limb of the section brings out that the restriction on suits or other legal proceedings, is in respect of matters for which provision is made in the Act. It cannot mean that suits of the category for instituting which, no provision is made in the Act are barred. There can be suits not covered by the Act and aggrieved parties will be deprived of all remedies where no provision is made under the Act for securing the relief they desire and at the same time it should be held that remedies outside the Act are barred. Section 93 clearly bars only those suits for which provision has been made in the Act and it does not prohibit the institution of suits under the general law which do not fall under the scope of any of the sections of the Act.
6. Our attention is drawn by learned Counsel to Sections 57 and 62 of the Act. Section 57 provides for the Deputy Commissioner to decide certain disputes and matters, and Section 57 (c) enables the Deputy Commissioner to enquire into and decide whether any property or money is a religious endowment'. Section 61 (1) provides for an appeal to the Commissioner by any person aggrieved from any order passed by the Deputy Commissioner under the prior provisions within one month from the date of the publication of the order. In the case of a party concerned the appeal must be within one month of the receipt of the order. Under Section 62 (1) any party aggrieved by an order passed by the Commissioner, under Section 61 Sub-section (1) or Sub-section (2) and relating to any of the matters specified in Section 57. Section 58 or Section 60 may within 90 days from the date of the receipt of such order by him. Institute a suit in the Court against such order. But the Court is given no power to stay the Commissioner's order pending the disposal of the suit. Court is defined under Section 6 (6) of the Act as the Subordinate Judge's Court having jurisdiction over the area in which a temple is situated and the District Court having jurisdiction where there is no Subordinate Judge's Court. Learned Counsel would contend that here is an order under Section 57 of the Act recognising the property in question as that of certain temples, and that therefore the suit must be instituted in the Suborodinate Judge's Court, and not in the District Munsif's Court as has been done. The power of the Deputy Commissioner to find whether a particular property belongs to a temple, it is said, is found in Section 57. Therefore it is argued that when a certificate is issued under Section 87, it involves a decision under Section 57 (c). But the first thing to be noticed is that the Deputy Commissioner in this case was not called upon to decide any dispute between the plaintiff and the institution. As stated earlier the plaintiff was not a party to the proceedings and orders have been obtained without reference to the dispute, behind his back, Section 62 provides for suits by any party that may be aggrieved by the order of the Commissioner passed on appeal made to him. An order under Section 57 (c) of the Act has not been made a decision in rem to bind persons not parties to the proceedings. So long as the plaintiff's rights are not affected, his title placed in jeopardy and his possession and enjoyment of the property not interfered with, he may ignore orders and proceedings to which he is not a party and which in law are not binding on him. A mere declaration behind the back of the plaintiff without reference to him, that the property is that of the temple will not affect the plaintiff. What affected the plaintiff was the much later attornment by the second defendant-Board against whom the certificate under Section 57 was obtained and the Board's refusal to pay rents to the plaintiff.
7. Section 87 of the Act enables a person who has been appointed as trustee or Executive Officer of a religious institution or to discharge the functions of a trustee of a religious institution, when resisted in or prevented from obtaining possession of the property of a religious institution by a trustee, office bearer or servant of the religious institution who has been dismissed or suspended from his office or 13 otherwise not entitled to be in possession or by any person claiming or deriving title from such trustee, office-bearer or servant, to secure possession by summary proceedings before specified alias of Magistrates. But the summary procedure cannot be availed of against a person claiming in good faith to be in possession on his own account or on account of third parties, that is not on account of trustees, office bearers and servants of the temple dismissed or suspended or otherwise not entitled to be in possession. To get an order for delivery under the Section the person who could claim possession under Section 87 has to produce a certificate by the Commissioner in the prescribed form setting forth the property in question. Under the proviso to Section 87 before issuing a certificate in respect of any property, the Commissioner has to give notice to the trustee, office-holder or servant of the religious institution, as the case may be and consider the objections, if any, made. The certificate is conclusive for the purpose of the proceedings under the section. Dispossession of persons bona fide in possession on their own account is not contemplated in these proceedings. Section 87 further expressly provides that nothing in the section shall bar the institution of a suit by any person aggrieved from an order under the section for establishing his title to the suit property, that is the existence of right of suit even to persons against whom proceedings under Section 87 are specifically contemplated and have been taken if they are aggrieved, is recognised. A fortiori suit by a third party to establish his right in any property that may be the subject of an order under Section 87 would require no saving even. It is not a suit which is provided under the Act; it is not barred under the Act and therefore cannot be subject to the restrictions found in Section 62 of the Act. The suit instituted in the present case is one for a declaration of title with consequential relief of injunction by a stranger to the proceedings under the Act. This is not therefore a suit which is contemplated under Section 62 of the Act, and clearly Section 87 does not bar the suit in question. Section 93 in the circumstances cannot stand in the way of institution of the present suit. The first contention fails.
8. As regards the plea of non-joinder of other trustees, no doubt where a religious institution has plurality of trustees the institution cannot be represented unless all the trustees are made parties. If the temples are to be bound by this judgment, all the trustees are necessary parties. But the present suit is framed as against the first defendant restraining him from in any way objecting to the payment of rent by the second defendant Board to the plaintiff. As our learned brother Kailasam, J., points out, the suit is not against the first defendant in his capacity as trustee appointed by the Religious Endowments Board. It follows that this plea of non-joinder of other trustees also fails.
In the result the Letters Patent Appeal fails and is dismissed with costs.

In contrast to all of the other "walk on" parts that Elton John has provided for USA TV series programs over the years, his appearance on the drama sitcom Ally McBeal (November 26, 2001) was indeed a refreshing change from the usual scripted dialogue that he was expected to recite.
Written by Reggie Zippo. Reference: The Smoking Gun: Archive
Since the advent of the "Superstar" artist within the ranks of the entertainment world, backstage demands of the touring divas, rock idols, and various musical celebrities have ranged from the mundane to the outrageous. Nearly every performer outlines exactly what is expected in each dressing room of each venue before any performance will be delivered. If these requirements are not met precisely, then the artist has the option of bailing out of the concert. For those not privy to the contractual agreements between the artist and the concert venues, a typical fan may think that it surely is not such a difficult task to accommodate these icons of the music industry. The following proves just how wrong this opinion can be.
Written by Reggie Zippo. Compiled from Fan Reports and news releases.
On October 5, 2001, Elton John and his band of musicians, technicians, and a core of long time professionals unleashed a cornucopia of songs to a hungry audience at the Convocation Center in Cleveland, Ohio. For this premier concert, nestled within the expected selections, Elton chose to include several classic gems such as Roy Rogers, Country Comfort, Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters, (Gotta Get A) Meal Ticket, and Holiday Inn. At later venues he will eliminate some of these, but will add other cherished treasures. One song in particular that was included on the first set list was Mansfield, which is an odd choice in itself since most fans have expressed a dislike for it altogether. Elton undoubtedly sensed this notion by eventually deleting it from the set list for later shows. It had been quite some time since Elton had toured world wide with his band mates and, if the Cleveland concert is to be an indicator, this outing will prove to be quite impressive with many twists and turns of the piano strings.

North Bay native battling for spot on Kansas City Chiefs' roster
Ryan Hunter passionately chasing his NFL dream
Ryan Hunter will find out Aug. 31 if his dream to play in the National Football League will come true.
The former Nipissing Wild football player, who made the Kansas City Chiefs' practice squad last season, is among 90 players vying for 53 active player positions.
Hunter reported for training camp on July 23 and will remain in Kansas City until the end of the month, when he will be told his fate during a face-to-face meeting with the team's general manager and other team officials.
Hunter's mother, Louise, spoke to The Nugget while on her way to Kansas City to watch her son play an exhibition game Saturday against the Cincinnati Bengals.
"It's been quite the roller-coaster for the past eight years," she says. "My stomach is in knots, it has been for quite awhile. We want this so bad for him. As a family, we've had to make sacrifices, but Ryan always aimed for the top and we wanted to be there to support him."
Hunter admits it was difficult to hear her son talk about a possible football future that would mean leaving home at the age of 16.
"When he would talk about making it to the next level, I thought he was nuts. I would tell him to forget about it because he was staying in North Bay and could possibly play university ball."
But Hunter's life took a different path.
"There's been a lot of sweat and tears, and a lot of hard work," his mother says. "It seemed like yesterday that we would find Ryan all dressed in his football gear two hours before the game, sitting and waiting in our living room.
Hunter played for Ecole secondaire Catholique Algonquin and the former Nipissing Wild football team.
He then entered several combines in southern Ontario, but his dream took another big step when a football friend suggested Hunter attend a combine in the U.S. to see where he ranked among those playing the sport across the border.
Hunter travelled to Richmond, VA, and was the only Canadian to compete among the 67 athletes.
He was awarded the overall MVP and was invited to another combine in Delaware where he ranked in the Top 5. Hunter then attended a national combine in Oklahoma where he ranked in the Top 3.
It was then his mother knew if her son was to follow his dream she would have to let him go.
Hunter left North Bay when he was 16 to attend school at Bowling Green State University in Ohio where he played several positions, including fullback, centre, tight end, left guard and offensive and defensive tackle.
The six-foot-five, 306-pound offensive lineman joined the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent.
He was one of the last to be cut from the Chiefs' roster in 2018, but his work ethic and skill earned him a spot on the practice squad.
"Ryan always says he just wants a chance, someone to believe in him," his mother says.
"He's been doing awesome. In the off-season, he hired a personal trainer and got into martial arts, particularly jiu-jitsu to help him with his cardio, speed and hand-eye co-ordination," Hunter says.
"Ryan's in excellent shape. He says his body feels the best it ever has."
Hunter knows her family isn't alone in hoping her son makes the team.
She says Ryan has received a lot of support from North Bay fans, friends and relatives.
Hunter says she'll never forget that day her son sat her down in the family's living room.
"He begged me to let him go and live his dream," she recalls. "I have no regrets, because he's living his dream. He's the happiest when he steps on that football field."
