THE PROFESSIONALS INSURANCE PROFESSIONAL It’s time to move to your new home. Are you ready? Moving can be a busy time with household items to sort through, boxes to pack, and movers to supervise. With all that to manage, it’s easy to see how some things slip through the cracks. Here are some suggestions that you will need to RUSS IDEN consider as you prepare to protect your next home. Consider homeowners insurance – while you can typically stay with the same insurer or agent, you’ll still need a new policy. A new home could have different risks and needs, requiring different coverage. An out-of-state move can have even bigger implications. Ask your agent to see if your current company can write policies in the state you’re relocating to or consider it an opportunity to shop and compare. In many cases, you will need to have proof of insurance at the time of closing when you buy that new home so contact your agent in advance in order to have coverage in place. Ultimately, your agent can help identify potential discounts and help you decide which coverages make the most sense for you. If you have questions about homeowners’ insurance or any other insurance needs, call a AAA agent near you.

How can I build my calves better? I train them but they just don’t seem to grow. First of all, we have a genetic blueprint that will sometimes limit us from growing calves like one of our friends or training partners, but if we want to build bigger calves it’s really not about how JOHN JACKSON much weight you use or how many reps we are doing. Its about the quality and the range of our reps. The key is to explode the weight up; your gastrocnemius muscles are made up of fast-twitch fibers, so they respond well to explosive movements. Go up as high as you can on each rep then give a brief pause and squeeze for good contraction, and then go down slowly. As you bring your heels down, make sure not to drop your heels too low to the ground thus causing tendon and ligament damage.

LEGAL SERVICES What is a motion in limine? Limine (lim-in-nee or lim-in-nay) is Latin for “threshold.” A motion in limine (“at the threshold” or “in the beginning”) is a procedural tool often used in both civil and criminal proceedings. A motion in limine requests the judge to limit or prohibit the other side from presenting or BRAD BEASLEY introducing certain evidence during the trial of the action. A motion in limine seeks to prevent any damage being done by the introduction of improper, prejudicial evidence. Although a party may object during trial to improper evidence after it is introduced, the mere mention of such evidence may be so prejudicial that the court’s directive to disregard it is insufficient to undo the damage caused. As a result, motions in limine are preemptive litigation tools.

Three Steps to Handle Market Volatility as You Approach Retirement
DAVID KARIMIAN CFP®, CRPC®
Recent research from Ameriprise Financial uncovered that the biggest financial setbacks American investors have experienced in their 50s through their 70s is market losses. Though most respondents – 62 percent – have fully recovered from these events, they’re still afraid of potential bumps down
the road. If you share this anxiety as you approach retirement, remember that market volatility does not always mean you need to make changes to your portfolio. The following tips can help you prevent fear from getting the best of you: 1. Concentrate on your financial goals. Ensure your portfolio is designed to help you achieve those goals, rather than a specific market outcome. 2. Keep your emotions in check as you ponder adjustments to your portfolio. You can’t control the market, but you can control your reaction to it. 3. Reassess your portfolio according to your retirement date and risk tolerance. Big market moves or dips may be a good time to step back and evaluate your portfolio.
