Welcome to the Organization of American States Trinidad and Tobago Webpage. Our objective is to showcase the programmes and activities of the OAS General Secretariat contributing to national development and hemispheric cooperation. We trust that the site will promote a deeper understanding of the work of the OAS in Trinidad and Tobago. Our Office was established in 1967 and our OAS Representative is Dr. Riyad Insanally.
Our activities and programmes are aimed at strengthening the four pillars of the OAS: Democracy, Human Rights, Multidimensional Security and Integral Development. In this respect, we have supported the hosting of major events by the Government of Trinidad and Tobago, such as: the Regional Colloquium on Women Leaders as Agents of Change in June 2011; the 5th Summit of the Americas in April 2009; and Inter-American Meetings of Ministers of Education (2005) and Justice (2002), as well as the 27th Regular Session of the Inter-American Drug Abuse Control Commission (CICAD) in 2000.
In June 2011, the Office collaborated with the Institute of International Relations (IIR) of the University of the West Indies (UWI) at St. Augustine, to convene a Seminar, with a number of high-level panellists and Ambassadors of OAS Member States resident in Port of Spain, to mark the 10th Anniversary of the Inter-American Democratic Charter (IADC). The Seminar was a public event directed at Government officials, the diplomatic community, civil society, the media and university and secondary school students, and was webcast live.
The OAS is particularly active in the area of Security and, in July 2011, the Office supported the signing of Agreements with the Government of Trinidad and Tobago and facilitated the provision of technical assistance on a Firearms Marking project and the establishment of a National Observatory on Crime and Violence. The Office has also facilitated various training activities organised in Trinidad and Tobago by CICAD the Inter-American Committee against Terrorism (CICTE) and the Department of Public Security (DPS). The Office is also working closely with the Secretariat for Multidimensional Security on preparations for the hosting of the Third Meeting of Ministers of Public Security in the Americas (MISPA III), in Port of Spain, in November 2011.
In addition, the Office facilitates training for Trinidad and Tobago in a number of other areas at OAS Headquarters and in other OAS Member States, as well as scholarships for tertiary education in OAS Member States.

Washington D.C., Friday May 16, 2014
In many parts of the world, LGBTI people face discrimination, stigmatization and acts of violence. Protecting and promoting the rights of LGBTI people to free expression, association and peaceful assembly is crucial to end their discrimination and address the appalling human rights violations inflicted upon them. These are not only basic rights, but they are also essential in allowing individuals to claim other rights in particular the rights to freedom from discrimination and equality before the law, and they can contribute to fostering public debate in society.
We condemn acts of retaliation, intimidation, or harassment whether public or private based on a person's manifestation or expression of their sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
On the occasion of the 2014 IDAHO-T, we remind States of their obligation to protect, promote and fulfill universal rights without discrimination. The existence of societal disapproval of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities does not justify discrimination or violence against LGBTI people.
Therefore, we are deeply concerned at the existence and recent adoption in several countries of laws that ban the dissemination of information about sexual orientation or gender identity issues and arbitrarily restrict the right to freedom of association and peaceful assembly.
We categorically reject arguments that such restrictions to the rights of LGBTI people are necessary to protect public morals, health or the well-being of vulnerable people. Rather, these laws encourage stigmatization, abuse and violence. Prohibiting access to health-related information is harmful to the physical and mental well-being of society at large.
Defenders advocating for the rights of LGBTI individuals face serious challenges while exercising their work including threats, attacks, criminalization of their activities, and defamation campaigns. Moreover, LGBTI peaceful assemblies, rallies and parades are often prohibited and confined to venues out of public sight. In many countries, the safety of the participants to these events is often not adequately protected by law enforcement authorities. In addition, LGBTI advocacy groups are subject to excessive State supervision and face arbitrary and discriminatory raids, fines, extortion and closure.
Despite an increase in the number of States that have repealed laws and abolished policies that discriminate against people on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, 77 countries still criminalize consensual relations between adults of the same sex. Some countries also criminalize certain gender identities and expressions, affecting transgender people. Such laws violate international human rights norms, fuel violence and discrimination against LGBTI people, contribute to a culture of impunity and perpetuate hostile environments. These laws should be repealed.
States must build a climate of tolerance and respect in which all people including LGBTI and those who defend their rights, can express their thoughts and opinions without fear of being attacked, criminalized or stigmatized. States must ensure the participation in public affairs of those who have traditionally suffered from discriminatory practices or policies.
Accordingly, we call on States to renew their efforts to address this critical human rights issue at the UN Human Rights Council and in regional intergovernmental bodies and to comply with their human rights obligation to protect, promote and fulfill the rights of all without discrimination.
OAS Awards Scholarships to train 15 officials in Electronic Government:
Following up on the Awards on Excellence in Electronic Government, issued through the Network of Electronic Government of Latin America and the Caribbean (Red GEALC), to Trinidad and Tobago through ttConnect – iGovTT, in the category of m-Government in November 2012, the Department for Effective Public Management (DEPM) of the OAS has facilitated training for 15 officials in Electronic Government, through a course "Design and Implementation of e-Government Strategies". The training aims at strengthening capacities of the Government of Trinidad and Tobago in the development and implementation of electronic government strategies for more open, efficient and transparent public administration that is centered on delivering services effectively to citizens.
The RedGealc, led by DEMP/OAS, began in 2003 and brings together the directors of e-government of all the member countries of the OAS. Since 2005, the Network has also counted on the support of the International Development Research Center (IDRC) and since 2007, it presents biennially the Awards on Excellence in Electronic Government (excelGOV Awards). The winners in each of the categories of each edition undertake a technical visit to Canada to participate in a knowledge exchange exercise on the Canadian experience in e-government and also receive e-Gov training scholarships. In the 2012 edition, the winners were Mer-Link of Costa Rica in the category "e-government centered on the citizen" and ttconnect Mobile in the category "m-government." The courses are implemented and certified through the Virtual Campus of DEPM/OAS. For more information about DEPM/Virtual Campus courses please visit: www.campusvirtualoea.org
Understanding and Improving Walkable Caribbean Urban Heritage: Willemstad, Paramaribo, Bridgetown and East Port of Spain
The Organization of American States (OAS), through the Department of Sustainable Development (DSD) of the Executive Secretariat for Integral Development (SEDI), has recently signed an Agreement with the University of the West Indies (UWI) at St. Augustine, for the implementation of a sub-project under the "Sustainable Communities in Central America and the Caribbean" initiative.
The sub-project is part of a broader project on "Understanding and Improving Walkable Caribbean Urban Heritage: Willemstad, Paramaribo, Bridgetown, St. George's and East Port-of-Spain". Of these five Caribbean cities, the first three are already UNESCO World Heritage Sites and the other two are seeking that designation. The methodology involves a comparative analysis of built and cultural heritage and the incorporation of elements of smart urban design that decrease car use and encourage walking and cycling, as well as exploring the potential to generate local economic development and serve as a model for new urban development.
In this regard, the principal outcome is expected to be the development of a conceptual framework for an East Port of Spain Heritage City Initiative. This will be based on an assessment of the possibilities of East Port of Spain for achieving UNESCO Heritage status and an analysis, which will include stakeholder feedback, of the built and cultural heritage of East Port of Spain, as it relates to economic development.
The project is being funded by Government of the United States of America, with counterpart funding from UWI, and is being led in Trinidad and Tobago by Dr. Asad Mohammed, Director of the Caribbean Network for Urban and Land Management (CNULM), at the Faculty of Engineering, UWI, St. Augustine.

City Council election today
Click here to view WHERE DO I GO TO VOTE?
Click here to view the Voters Guide
Wichita Falls voters will have their say today on who they want to serve for the next two years in three City Council seats.
Every registered voter in Wichita Falls may vote in the Councilor at Large election. Those in voting precincts 40, 43, 35, 36, 41 and 45 may also vote in the District 1 election. Those in voting precincts 37, 38, 30, 34 and 31 may vote in the District 2 election.
Current District 2 Councilor Dorothy Roberts-Burns and Robert Seabury are running for the at-large seat.
Incumbent Councilor Michael Smith and Chris Ballard are running in the District 1 election.
The race for the District 2 seat has three candidates — David Brock, Annetta Pope and Dennis Rivard.
City Clerk Lydia Ozuna this week announced the final total for early voting, which ended Tuesday. The figures showed 982 people voted early.
In 2010, which saw three-way races for both mayor and councilor for District 5, 1,853 people voted early. That figure included 34 mail ballots.
Ozuna hopes to see a strong turnout for Election Day today.
Over the past five years, the average percentage of voters who have voted in city elections has been about nine percent, and Ozuna hoped to see a stronger turnout.
Wichita Falls has 53,577 registered voters.
"It seems like there's been some activity out there by the candidates," she said. "Usually we have a larger turnout because there is a lot more activity."
Early voting started slow and really didn't pick up until the last two days. Ozuna hopes the momentum that came then will continue today with a large number of voters heading to the polls.
"I hope the voters do get out and do their civic duty," she said. It's residents' chance to say who they want to represent them. She looks forward to seeing how the day goes.
Polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m.
The City Council agenda for Tuesday includes the canvassing of the returns of the municipal election and administering the official oath to newly elected Council members.

Soulutionn - 60's Rock
Artist: Soulutionn
Producer: Soulutionn, Lejauren "Lucky" Haily
Album: Burning Bridges
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 12 total votes )
Suffering from an acute lack of howled vocals, LSD-inspired arrangements and wild, woolly guitar solos? Booth newcomers Soulutionn have the solution to all your problems. Making its world premiere right here on our front page, the Houston alt hip-hop crew's latest EP single is both a tribute to, and a deconstruction of 60's Rock, with guitarist Ben Jarrad busting out some sludgy, psychedelic riffs as frontman Boi Dru touches upon issues—from the struggle for civil rights, to the advance of gentrification, to the conservative resistance to black musical style—that are as relevant today as they were in the Vietnam era. Crew member DJ Anarchy fortifies the record's beat (co-produced by Soulutionn and LeJauren "Lucky" Hally) with some well-placed samples. Watch for Soulutionn's Burning Bridges EP to hit The DJBooth October 16, for free streaming and download.

Vomiting bug back at Hereford County Hospital
Updated 1:09pm Tuesday 4th March 2014 in News By Bill Tanner, Reporter
NOROVIRUS is back at Hereford County Hospital.
As of today (Tues) the highly contagious vomiting bug is contained to a single bay – a handful of beds – at the hospital.
But with hundreds of visitors to the hospital expected every day, Wye Valley NHS Trust (WVT) is urging anyone who has had diarrhoea, vomiting or flu-like symptoms over the past week to stay away.
"We're asking everyone considering visiting a friend or relative in hospital to think carefully about whether they need to come if they have experienced these symptoms in the last four days. We understand people wanting to visit sick friends or relatives, but if they themselves have been unwell, they could put others at risk," said Neil Doverty, WVT chief operating officer.
"If you're unsure whether to visit, please feel free to contact the ward nurse before you come into any of our hospitals," he said.
The Trust instead urges any potential patient worried about prolonged symptoms to see their GP or call for advice.
A need for essential hand, surface and material hygiene is also being stressed.
Recovery times without treatment range from 24-72 hours with the Trust saying those affected should stay away rom work, school, college or any social gatherings until free of symptoms for at least 48 hours.

I have been an educator all my adult life, both internationally and in the United States. I began my teaching career with a Bachelor's degree in elementary education, initially teaching English, Math, Social Studies and Science to elementary school students. With further study and a Higher Education Diploma, I continued teaching at college level.
Since coming to live in Greenville 12 years ago, I've taught basic reading to adults and ESL to international adults and children in the Greenville area. I have recently worked with a special needs teenage ESL student, teaching him English language skills. I currently teach English to an adult Asian student. I also help adults work on their English reading and comprehension skills as they prepare to take the GED. I'm used to working with groups or one on one.
With many years of teaching experience behind me, I'm extremely patient and understand how challenging learning can be for both children and adults. I also understand first - hand, the challenges international students face as they adapt to living in a different culture. I know too, that in the right learning environment and with a patient supportive teacher, all students can develop confidence and improve their skills. I'm here to help you be the best that you can be.
I have a bachelor's degree in education. I taught English, math, social studies and science in South Africa, grades 4 - 8, from 1972 until 1981. From 1983 until 1986 I studied early childhood development at UNISA (University of South Africa) and taught preschool children. I especially enjoy teaching English and math to elementary school children.
I currently work for a literacy agency where I have been instrumental in helping develop an ESL curriculum for the international adult students we serve. I also teach ESL classes to these students.
During 2002/2003 I worked on a committee of The Adult Education Branch of the Greenville School District to develop a training program for ESL tutors. I helped present this training across the state of South Carolina.

Ever since the reality TV genre took off in the early 2000s, networks have been in an unspoken competition to put out the most unique, controversial, or just absurd programs. 2007 was a big year for reality, but Kid Nation was the clear winner. In Kid Nation, 40 children were sent to a privately owned town in New Mexico to create their own society, set up a government, and fend for themselves without adults. The children, ages eight to 15, had to do everything themselves — from doing their own laundry to slaughtering their own dinner — and, if they were lucky, were sometimes rewarded with a sack full of buffalo nickels. CBS thought this show was a good idea. … Read More

Kristen Schaal and Casey Wilson's 'Hotwives of Orlando': Is the 'Real Housewives' Franchise Too Ridiculous to Parody?
It seems pointless to mention that the main draw of Housewives-brand reality shows – and the very reason why a great number of people still watch them – is that they're hyperbolically unreal. And yet I mentioned it, because Hulu's The Hotwives of Orlando, created by Danielle Schneider and Dannah Phirman, is the kind of parody that booby-traps one into stating the obvious. … Read More
The Eminem Show: Music's Greatest Ongoing Reality Saga
There was a moment in the early 2000s when the release of a new Eminem single felt like a bona fide cultural event. Everyone would know the words to tracks like "My Name Is" or "The Real Slim Shady," but that moment has passed. Sure, there's a decent number of people who still wait on every new release, a core of diehard fans who'll invade your comment section and tell you that Em is the greatest rapper in the world if you dare to suggest otherwise. As far as a connection with the general public goes, though, Eminem's moment has passed. But still the Eminem show goes on — and Mother's Day brought a new episode, a song and music video titled "Headlights," intended as an apology to his mom, Debbie. … Read More
'True Detective' of the Web: 'Catfish' Creators Nev Schulman and Max Joseph on Solving the Mysteries of Online Love
Dart through Times Square, where even the Hello Kitty plushies are knockoffs, into the Viacom building on Broadway and 45th, where even the security guards hassle you just because they can. Run smack-dab into Iggy Azalea, dripping with Moschino and contempt, as you enter the elevator. Walk past "ballsy" quotes from M.I.A. and Sid Vicious — an attempt to edge up the colorful MTV offices, where A$AP Rocky blares when you both enter and leave — and step into a conference room overlooking the Hudson River where a team of MTV publicists outnumber your interview subjects. You're here to talk to Nev Schulman and Max Joseph, the co-stars and co-creators of the "docudrama" Catfish, which returns for its third season this week. It's almost laugh-out-loud funny how much the real and the fabricated are at battle here within this single experience, an attempt to get to the heart of a TV show that examines what's real and what's fabricated in relationships that exist exclusively via digital means. … Read More
Where Did All the Female Rappers Go? Reality TV
Earlier this week, NPR asked where all the female rappers had gone, and yesterday VH1 gave them their answer, albeit a weak one: a new reality show. This fall, the cable network responsible for "docudramas" like Love & Hip Hop and The Salt-n-Pepa Show will unleash White Girls of Rap into the world, yet again making female rappers a novelty item. … Read More
The 10 Dumbest TV Shows of All Time
Tonight at 8pm, ABC will debut its new series Splash, a "celebrity" diving competition show in which such iconic figures as Kendra Wilkinson, Keshia Knight Pulliam, and Louie Anderson… well, they do dives, and that's pretty much the show. If you're anything like us, you may have greeted this description with one question: "Holy moly, is that the stupidest idea for a television program, ever?" To which we laugh and laugh, and then say, "I dunno, maybe." To be fair, it's a tough competition; since its inception, television executives have seemed consistently challenged to top each other in creating excruciatingly dumb shows. After the jump, we've rounded up ten that give Splash a run for its money. … Read More
Amish Youth Escape to New York in TLC's 'Breaking Amish'
The Television Critics Association summer press tour ends today, and while most of the big network announcements came last week, its final few days have focused on what's in store on cable in the next few months. One of the most sensational of these new shows is TLC's Breaking Amish, a reality series that has shamelessly ripped off the title of Breaking Bad and finds four Amish people and one Mennonite escaping the confines of their secluded communities for the bright lights and impossible rents of New York City.
As you might remember, rebellious Amish youth aren't a new subject for reality TV: Back in 2004, UPN brought us Amish in the City. The difference is that while the kids in that show were on rumspringa, the Breaking Amish cast members have actually elected to leave the world of barn raisings and horse-drawn buggies forever. There's already been some controversy among critics over whether TLC producers played too large a role in their subjects' decision to move to New York, and as you'll see in the trailer, there's certainly a semi-exploitative "Look at these fucking Amish" vibe to some of the clips. And yet, we remain curious to learn about people who have had hugely different lives from our own. Click through to get a first look at Breaking Amish, and let us know whether your ethics will permit you to watch the show when it premieres, September 9th. … Read More

7 Incredibly Dark Reality Shows to Rival the Hunger Games
What if The Hunger Games were real? We know we're not the only ones who have thought about that in the past week, as Suzanne Collins' YA bestseller breaks box office records and thrills fans and critics. (We loved it, too.) Considering that plenty of Americans are already watching misery-porn programming like Teen Mom, My Strange Addiction, and Intervention, televised deathmatches don't seem entirely out of the question. With that in mind, we've dreamed up a few reality shows that might just rival The Hunger Games for sheer darkness and brutality. But before we proceed, just in case it isn't obvious, we want to clarify that we would actually be horrified to see these shows get made. Here at Flavorpill, we don't want to watch anyone die. Not even celebrities. … Read More

Congratulations to all the winners of the JewishPress.com raffle at The Event
Hoshana Rabbah is, according to tradition, the day the judgment of Yom Kippur is sealed and finalized. There are some changes in the morning prayers. We circle the bima seven times with our lulav and esrog and then we put them down and take five aravos and beat them on the synagogue floor as if to say, "These are being beaten instead of me."
Then we return home for a festive meal in the sukkah.
At this meal we include soup with kreplach. Kreplach are globs of dough with a piece of meat hidden in the middle. Why? Because we are not sure that this day is such a festive occasion that it requires a wine and meat meal, as on Shabbos or festivals. And as we await the arrive of Eliyahu to answer these types of questions, we hide the meat in the heart of the dough – thus, kreplach.
After what happened to me this Yom Kippur and Hoshana Rabbah, I must say I've gone deep into the heart of the krepel (singular for kreplach) and have concluded that indeed there is more to the krepel than meets the eye.
On the way to the Kotel on Yom Kippur, I met two young people. One said his name was Shai. "Shai," I thought, "that's an easy name to remember." In fact, I had recently been involved in a bad situation with someone named Shai.
I invited them to come to my house to break the fast, and told them where I lived.
One of them came. I asked him where Shai was. "Shai?" he asked. "Who's Shai?"
"The guy who was with you."
"He's Yossi, but he uses different names," he said.
So now it was Hoshana Rabbah, and Yossi suddenly showed up at my house as I was talking to a friend on my iPhone. So I ended my call and put down my phone.
I told him I was making kreplach soup and invited him to eat with me in the sukkah. He helped me take down the food and I filled up a bowl of soup for him.
Suddenly he said he had to go to the bathroom. "Go right up," I told him, "but first eat your kreplach or they'll get cold!"
He said he'd be right back. After maybe two minutes, I remembered I had forgotten my iPhone upstairs and I needed to make an important call. So I went upstairs to get the phone. Whereupon I discovered that both my visitor and my iPhone were gone.
I called the phone from my landline. It rang, once, twice, but no one answered. And then he turned it off. Goodbye, iPhone.
Back in the sukkah, I realized the iPhone was a kapparah, an atonement, for the unpleasant occurrence mentioned earlier with a person named Shai, which is what Yossi had told me his name was when I met him on Yom Kippur.
The cell phone company told me that even though I had full coverage, the new phone would cost me 1,000 Shekel, deductible.
I looked into a gematria book for the significance of 1,000. And I saw that the numerical value of the verse "Es asher Hashem yeh'ehav, yoche'ach" – "He whom God loves, he admonishes" – is precisely 1,000!
So I was left thrilled by my final judgment, costing me only my iPhone. But I was also left with a new understanding of the custom of eating kreplach on the special day of the sealing of a Jew's yearly judgment.
After it's all over, the Jew goes back to being a krepel. His outer concern is the dough, the bucks. But on the inside, in his heart, he's a delicious piece of meat.
Deep down, under all the dough, even the Shais and the Yossis are part of our charming nation.

While there is no formula that will work for everyone, there are some strategies that if followed carefully and consistently can help our children – and us – gain the most from the upcoming school year.
Israel feebly begged Hamas to end the barrage, promising that "quiet will be met with quiet."
Isn't it comforting to know that our God loves life, grants life, and promises eternal life?
While the phrase "Let It Be" implies doing nothing, "Lu Yehi" implies working toward a goal.
An Israeli company should make "Arafat's Dead Sea Tonic" with this warning: "may cause severe vomiting or even death."
"The bigger they are the harder they fall" describes what God had in mind for Olmert.
Boundless love was something Rav Kook had for the nation of Israel. Just as one cannot question the boundless love of Hashem for Israel, one cannot question the boundless love of a Torah giant for his people.
I hollered over and over again, waving a clinched fist toward the heavens.
This past Shabbos, as we read the weekly Torah portion of Bishalach, my son suddenly said to me, "Dad, I have a feeling Sharon is going to pass away today, because we just read his name in Az Yashir [the Song of the Sea] where it says 'arik charbi.' "

The 4-Variable IQ Test
Their result for The 4-Variable IQ Test ...
15% interpersonal, 30% visual, 15% verbal and 40% mathematical!
Brother-from-another-mother! Like mine, your highest scoring intelligence is Mathematical. You thrive on logic, numbers, things representing numbers, and sets of things that are sets of other things, with numbers nowhere in sight. You probably like the online comic called XKCD, and if you don't, check it out.
You probably knew you'd score "Mathematical" as you took the test, and mathy types are usually super-high scorers on this axis, and low on the others. Why? Because you (we) yearn for math.
Anyway, your specific scores follow. On any axis, a score above 25% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 25% means you use it less. It says nothing about cognitive skills, just your interest.
Your brain is roughly:
15% Interpersonal
Matching Summary: Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice to the world.
1. Don't date someone if your interpersonal percentages differ by more than 20%.
2. Don't be friends with someone if your verbal percentages differ by more than 25%.
3. Don't have sex with someone if your math scores differ by over 40%. You might kill them.
Their Analysis (Vertical line = Average)
They scored 15% on interpersonal, higher than 24% of your peers.
They scored 30% on visual, higher than 55% of your peers.
They scored 15% on verbal, higher than 26% of your peers.
They scored 40% on mathematical, higher than 78% of your peers.

Everton plan Hillsborough memorial
Everton are proposing a permanent memorial at Goodison Park to mark the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster, in which 96 Liverpool fans died.
The club said they had been working on plans to have a tribute ready for the anniversary on April 15.
Mark Rowan, Everton's head of media and communications, said: "Plans at this moment are in the early stages. But we have a commitment to unveil a memorial to coincide with the 25th anniversary of that tragic day."
The victims of the disaster were crushed to death on an overcrowded section of terracing when they attended an FA Cup semifinal between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough stadium on April 15, 1989.
Everton have consistently supported Liverpool in their attempts to help the families of the victims bring those responsible for the tragedy to account.
When an independent report published in September 2012 cleared Liverpool fans of any blame for the tragedy and highlighted a cover-up by the police and emergency services, Everton chairman Bill Kenwright arranged for a tribute to be paid at their next home game in honour of the Hillsborough victims.
In addition, Kenwright gave an address at last year's Hillsborough memorial service at Anfield, and manager Roberto Martinez will do the same this year.
Rowan added; "Evertonians and the club have always stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the families of the Hillsborough victims during their long fight for justice and we feel it is fitting that our home should have a permanent tribute to the 96."

He truly is an asset to your company.We recently had our roof replaced by COUNTRYSIDE ROOFlNG SIDING & WINDOWS, INC. I feel I would be amiss if I didn't explain my experience with your company. The quality of your workmanship, professionalism and expediency of the project was by far the best I have ever seen, considering I came from the roofing industry. The entire communication process with your Senior Field Representative, Mario from start to finish was extremely professional. His help in explaining the entire process from colors, detail of the job, what was needed, what was not, when the crew would arrive when they would be finished, and the process of cleaning up with a magnetic rack brought us comfort.

It has not been an easy process to hold contractors accountable for cleanup follow their respective trades, so we sincerely appreciate that! The small things really make a difference to us in establishing life-long business and personal relationships.

We look forward to working with you in the future.I want to thank you for the super job you & your crew did on our roof & siding. It is very hard to find competent contractors these days and I was very pleased with your workers. Mario handled everything from how to deal with the insurance company to ordering materials, tips on what to do with the window frames, to scheduling the work and what to expect. Everything he said how and when it would happen did in fact happen that way, no surprises, no delays. The siding guys were professionals from the beginning to the end, I was amazed that they finished the job in one day and 2 ½ hours. I have and will recommend your company to all my friends. Thank you!

David O'Keefe's clay sculptured caricatures are grotesquely accurate. There is a sliver of realistic figuration in their distortion that makes them strangely believable in their likeness. In particular the above image ruins my sincere affection for The Beatles, as they now look like horrible gremlins from a bad acid trip.
