Roston's Group
Forty-seven-year-old Roston is the leader of this group of teachers. Roston was born in a place call Kpuwabu. He is married and has four children, two in primary school, one in secondary and the other is not attending school.
Roston is a teacher and has been in the teaching profession for 20 years now. He has requested this loan in order to buy house-building materials: bags of cement, iron corrugated zincs, nails, etc., for the construction of a family house.
School staff from this institution, like many other schools staff within SMT's operational areas, comes to SMT to apply for loans. With the help of these loans, they can accomplish some certain tasks that they would otherwise have not being able to accomplish with their mere salaries alone. But with the help of this loan, some can pay school fees for their children; others can use the loan to buy pieces of furniture, a plot of land, house-building materials, or invest in business. At the end of each month, these teachers can repay the loan out of their monthly salaries. The institution's bursar is directly responsible for deducting the repayment and pays SMT on their behalf.
Additional Information
About Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT)Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT) is Kiva's oldest field partner in Sierra Leone. SMT began operations in 2002 as a microcredit program of the NGO Child Fund Sierra Leone under a USAID program to assist the reintegration of ex combatants back into their communities. Today, SMT offers group, agricultural, individual and salary loans to micro-entrepreneurs through six branches and one sub-branch in rural, urban, and peri-urban areas. By providing small loans and other financial services, SMT empowers poor clients to generate more income to help their families, improve their wellbeing, and create a more vibrant private small-business sector in Sierra Leone.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Texas Gov. Perry attends private fundraiser in Oklahoma City
About 250 people were expected to attend an Oklahoma City fundraiser Monday evening for Texas Gov. Rick Perry to support his bid for the presidency.
The event at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum was closed to reporters and no media availability was scheduled. Few details were released about the fundraiser, the second of the day for Perry in Oklahoma. A fundraising lunch was held in Tulsa.
Different levels of financial support were available for those attending the Monday evening fundraiser for Perry, who earlier this month announced his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination.
Earlier in Tulsa, U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Tulsa, formally endorsed Perry, who became governor of Texas in December 2000 when then-Gov. George W. Bush resigned to become president. Perry was elected to a full term as governor in 2002 and was re-elected in 2006 and 2010
Former University of Oklahoma football coach Barry Switzer was among those helping with the Oklahoma City fundraiser for Perry.
"I've known Governor Perry for many, many years," said Switzer, who coached the NFL's Dallas Cowboys from 1994-97.
Switzer said he held a fundraiser in his home for Perry a couple years ago.
Republican Gov. Mary Fallin was not planning to attend Monday evening's fundraiser, a spokesman said. She did not meet with him while he was in Oklahoma City.
Fallin did talk with Perry last week on the phone about his visit, said Alex Weintz, Fallin's communications director.
Oklahoma Democratic Party Chairman Wallace Collins said he isn't impressed with Perry's record as Texas governor. He said the middle class in Texas is losing its security to tea party economics and that Perry is too far to the right to lead the country.

Canker Sores in early Pregnancy
I am 12 days PO about a week ago I started to get a canker sore, which I don't normally get, Anyhow the one canker sore turned into 7 canker sores all in one area and here I am a week later and I still have them. My temps are pointing to pregnancy but I was just wondering if any one else has experienced this. My cousin said that canker sores were her first pregnancy sign.

In case it's helpful to anyone out there looking into this, I had a lot of canker sores v early in 4 out of 5 of my pregnancies (prior to positive pregnancy tests). They were particularly strong with my first pregnancy which resulted in twin boys. The other pregnancies resulted in miscarriages. Weirdly I am early in my 5th pregnancy and have no cankers which may mean the pregnancy won't last but we'll see... Good luck!posted 04/12/2015 by a BabyCenter Member
yes when I was only about 8 days past ovulation I got a few and hadn't had any in forever... Having no idea I was pregnant I didn't think anything of it but now that I keep getting them and I know I am pregnant... I'm assuming there is a correlation and that it must have been my first sign.posted 10/26/2014 by a BabyCenter Member
Yes!!! My first sign! I had 1 then couple days later I had 9 all in one areaposted 02/15/2014 by mandyj0515
I found that I have my first canker sore ever. Im waiting for another week before I can test. but with the moody roller coaster I have been on and the cramps. Im hoping it is going to obe a positive. I was wondering the same thing about the canker sores if anyone else has had them as a part of early pregnancy. fingers crossed for a plus sign!posted 03/27/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Yes...and maybe with a girl!posted 03/28/2010 by fowaites

Strong reassurances on vaccines backfire
Unwarranted public anxiety about vaccinations can have deadly consequences, but the challenge of communicating health risks is full of psychological complexity.
A new German study discussed on our Research Digest brings this home, showing how messages that deny vaccination health risks in unequivocal terms can backfire and actually increase concern among parents.

Nathan Deal has been sworn in as Georgia's 82nd governor, ushering in a historic GOP sweep in the state that will install Republicans at the helm of every statewide office.
A rare Georgia snowstorm forced Monday's ceremony from the steps of the Capitol to the shelter of the House chamber. Georgia Republicans won every statewide elected office in November's general election and have also gained seats in the state Legislature completing a political transformation in the state that began in 2002.
In his inaugural address, Deal said "state government cannot and should not be expected to provide for us what we can provide for ourselves." The former congressman from Gainesville also said he would fight the Democratic-backed federal health reform law arguing "government cannot make or keep us healthy."

Dilbert's head disappears into a hole in time. Dilbert floats by the Boss's head and asks, "How can I relax AND do urgent work at the same time?" The Boss replies, "Work smarter, not harder." Dilbert grabs his head and screams. The caption says, "Mercifully, the angel of cynicism appears." Dogbert flies up to Dilbert and says, "Slap something together in the morning.

Alice continues while the Boss appears to listen, "It takes three weeks to get on your calendar... and the project has six phases..." Alice says, "What we have here is guaranteed failure." Alice says, "You've left nothing to chance on this one." Alice says, "I mean, normally there's a bit of uncertainty, but you've..oh." Alice says, "You've slipped into the "Boss Zone" where you can't see or hear employee input." The Boss is a zombie and Alice waves her hand in front of his eyes to no effect.

When your skills expire, in the next year or two, I'll replace you with someone younger. Dilbert: You're a monster! I'll pay for my own training and leave you to marinate in your own stench!

A North Carolina woman is accused by authorities of severely abusing two of her three children, including refusing to feed her mentally handicapped 12-year-old daughter.
The Fayetteville Observer reported Wednesday that the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office said 32-year-old Tamika Sawyer chained her refrigerator and refused to feed her daughter and a 10-year-old son.
Warrants say Sawyer punished the two by choking them, causing her daughter to pass out. Investigators say the children told them they were also threatened with a shotgun.
Sawyer faces charges that include four counts of misdemeanor assault on a child under 12, four counts of misdemeanor child abuse and two counts of misdemeanor assault by pointing a gun.

Wikipedia in English
No descriptions found.
The truth about Steve McQueen is spectacularly different from the legend projected by his screen persona and Hollywood's media machine. Lurid aspects of McQueen's early life include a gothic horror of a childhood and stints as both a porno performer and pay-for-play hustler to both men and women. Also revealed are sinister implications associated with his mysterious death. Years of research on the film industry's coolest player bring McQueen and his legacy brusquely back to earth.--Publisher description.… (more)

Check out all aerial silks reviews.
Aerial Silks with CircusMASH
I discovered Aerial Silks purely by chance through a special offer that was advertised on a popular group buying website. I was immediately excited at the prospect of trying something new as going to the gym can feel like a chore and a bit tedious at times.
I have to admit the taster session was daunting, the whole concept of being able to climb up the silk was completely alien to me as I was the kid in school who couldn't climb a rope never mind anything else!
There was a lot of information to take in but the instructor Joe was very patient and explained everything clearly which helped to put me at ease. I felt that I was able to ask questions without being judged or made to feel silly which made the environment conducive to learning.
We were taught some basic climbing skills and tried out some tricks with the silks in a knot. This gave me a good feel of working with the silks, it wasn't easy but Joe was encouraging when I got stuck. Needless to say after that first session I was completely hooked. I signed up for the next Level 1 beginners' course and have continued my weekly practice since.
My training at the gym is varied but fitness professionals say that nothing is more effective than training with your own bodyweight and this has become extremely apparent after the inclusion of Aerial Silks in my fitness programme. I'm always guaranteed to feel soreness in my muscles (in a good way of course) after my weekly session which means that I've had a great workout.
I have to mention that I do have a strong fear of heights but what I love about the practice of Aerial silks is that it allows me to transcend my personally imposed limitations and not only challenges me physically but also mentally as well. This has encouraged me to face my fears and control my anxiety in order to stay calm. I've found that letting go (metaphorically) and falling in new ways (wrapped in the silk of course!) exhilarating, extremely fun and leaves me feeling alive.
A couple of my friends think that I'm crazy although many have expressed an interest in trying out a class. Learning the art of Aerial Silks will help to improve your confidence and enable you to move through life with courage. I've discovered that I am a lot stronger than I thought I was and you will too! I recommend that everyone should have a go. Come on, set yourself a challenge, be brave and you'll be amazed at what you can achieve!

Let's Internet
A tour of the latest from the web...
- A rather random rumor that the Cubs may have some interest in A's shortstop Bobby Crosby.He's set to make $5.25M this year, so you know he wouldn't cost much in prospects and the A's would probably have to eat at least half his salary. If he's willing to be a utility guy, he'd be a step up from Aaron Miles. Baseball Prospectus projects Crosby at a .243 EqA versus Miles .232. Defensively, Crosby's been a bit above average (according to UZR) to below average (according to BP) at shortstop but probably has a strong enough arm to handle third base. Of course, he'd be replacing Joey Gathright or Micah Hoffpauir on the roster - unless Lou comes through with a six-man bench - and in that case he'd be replacing Bobby Scales, Jake Fox, Luis Rivas or Corey Koskie, in which we'd finally have an acceptable scenario for acquiring Crosby. That is unless the Cubs wise up quickly on this Aaron Miles fiasco that is about to be unleased upon unsuspecting fans.
- Caption fun with Ted Lilly at Big League Stew. Comment #3 has to be the winner.
- Dave Pinto runs through the Cubs expected offensive output. Marcel Projections and the Lineup Tool come up with 5.15 runs per game with the projected lineup, 5.42 with the optimum lineup. The Cubs scored 5.31 runs per game last year.
UPDATE: One wonderful reader pointed out that the probable lineup has Fukudome batting second which(to steal kmokeefe's line) is improbable (at least to begin the season). Let's try it on our own using the lineup of Soriano, Fontenot, Lee, Bradley, Ramirez, Fukudome, Soto, Theriot and the pitcher as suggested by Lou (actually Lou suggested Aaron Miles batting second, but we'll do that next).
That comes up with 5.29 runs per game. The optimal lineup of Bradley, Soto, Fukudome, Ramirez, Lee, Soriano, Fontenot, Pitcher and Theriot comes up with 5.469 runs per game. Flipping Miles for Fontenot results in: 5.025 runs per game and 5.317 with the computer-generated optimal lineup.
- Lou took on Steve Phillips...Lou will win.
- Baseball Analysts takes a look at the All-Time One Teamers - the best player at each position to play for only one club. I checked on Ryne Sandberg(80.8) and Ernie Banks (80), but both are out-WARP'd by the author's choices of Charlie Gehringer (85.3) and Cal Ripken Jr. (120.7). I was quite surprised to see Lou Whitaker(85.7) with a better career WARP-3 than Sandberg; I think I'll need to add him to my subjective Hall of Fame class.
UPDATE #2: Clearly I need an editor, as it was pointed out that Sandberg played 13 games for the Phillies in 1981.
- The miracles of science. We'll be taking donations for TCR's own $10,000 electrolysis machine in April.
- Split-squad action today, Cubs travel to Goodyear to take on the Indians; Carl Pavano vs. Chad Gaudin to start. Milton Bradley will DH in that game as well. Here's the lineup from Muskat:
CF Joey Gathright, SS Aaron Miles, 1B Derrek Lee, DH Bradley, LF Jason Dubois, RF Brad Snyder, 3B Bobby Scales, 2B Nate Spears.
Jeff Samardzija will lead the team in Las Vegas tonight versus the White Sox. MLB.com shows radio for the Indians game and TV for the White Sox game.
Re: Let's Internet
the probable lineup used to calculate the 5.15 has fukudome hitting 2
i find that improbable.
Re: Let's Internet
Did they do a lineup projection for a the games Soriano,Bradley and possibly Aramis miss? It's better than average that Soto's off days might make us trot out a
Reed Johnson
Re: Let's Internet
So you are saying that it is better than a 50-50 chance that Soriano, ARam, and Bradley are all hurt at the same time?
Someone needs to take a class on probability.
Here are the average games played by Bradley, ARam, and Soriano over the last three seasons, respectively: 94, 146, 134. That means that there would be approximately a 42% chance that Bradley would miss a game, a 10% chance ARam would miss a game, and a 17% chance that Soriano would miss a game.
That would mean that there would be less than a 1% chance that all three would miss the same game.
If you combine that with the chance that Soto would get an off-day on the same day (based on Soto's games played last year), you get a .09% chance that all four would miss the same game.
But sure... "It's better than average."
Re: Let's Internet
While the chances of all 3 being out at the same time is very very low, based on those percentages what is scary is that the chance of at least one of the three being injured for a given game is like 56%! Yikes!
Re: Let's Internet
Hey WISCGRAD, as the resident statistician, I was hoping you might be able to help out with this question I had after reading big_lowitzki's post -
Are the odds that all three will be out at the same time affected at all by the increased probability that the games each will miss are consecutive? Saying Bradley has a 42% chance of missing a game seems a little misleading, because if he's injured he might have a 100% chance of missing, say, the next 30 games. It's not like flipping a coin where the odds of missing a game reset each day.
Also, this probably isn't something you would know, but I wonder if anyone has ever done a study on the likelihood of a player getting injured in a given month. Intuitively, it might seem more likely for a player to get injured in April due to cold weather, and maybe August due to being worn down from the grind of playing all summer. If there is an increased likelihood of guys getting injured in certain months, and we have a few injury-prone players, that might mean that there's an even better chance of them all being injured at the same time.
All right, I've thought about this too much now.
Re: Let's Internet
This was more to the point I was trying to make. It isn't a huge leap to conclude that.
1. Milton Bradley misses somewhere between 35-60% of every season
2. Alfonso Soriano has spent at least 1 stretch on the DL in each season he has been in Chicago.
So it is better than an average bet that those guys will miss some time.
Mark Prior and Kerry Wood both had stretches where they were durable and healty. However we saw what happened when we built our roster around the plan that they would be a healthy 1 and 2.
Re: Let's Internet
So it is better than an average bet that those guys will miss some time.
Sure... "some time." But that is different than saying that it is an average bet that they will miss time together. And even more different than saying those two, along with Aram, will miss time together. And even MORE different than saying that those three will miss time together along with Soto.
Re: Let's Internet
I thought about that exact question too, but the probabilities wouldn't change. Because while there is a chance that Bradley would miss the first four weeks of the season and Soriano would miss say the last week - meaning they never overlap - it could also be that they both get injured at the same time and ALL of their days overlap. So if you change the unit from games to say weeks or months, the probabilities still say the same.
Basically, what you've pointed out though is that our "less than 1%" answer is a bit misleading. Rather than saying each season we should expect 1 or 2 games in which all 3 are injured, we would really expect this to never happen in like 9 of 10 seasons, and in 1 of 10 to see a two-week span where all three are on the DL.
Re: Let's Internet
FWIW (not much), Excel's FORECAST function has the following predictions for games played in 2009 based on their games played going back to 2001 when each of them became full-time players:
Bradley - 101
Soriano - 124
Aramis - 138
I'd love to see Bradley in the 120-130 range, but this is probably acceptable for the NL Central, right?
Re: Let's Internet
Bobby Crosby?
Re: Let's Internet
Re: Let's Internet
Here's the problem...though Crosby was already going to be shopped, he's already said he wants to be traded because he doesn't want to be a backup. So why trade for an expensive, shitty and pissed off SS?
Re: Let's Internet
I suggest the A's trade Crosby for Ronnie Cedeno and Garrett Olson...so that they can flip Olson for Peavy.
Scott Eyre still broke?
Re: Let's Internet
I finally got a response from Cubs.com on my waiting list position.
I have numbers 27406 and 27405. Anyone want to do a 2 for 1? JD, I know you do...
Re: Let's Internet
Why two numbers? Still 32,921 for me, I'll swap...
Re: Let's Internet
I'm around 19K-something. When this came up a few months ago, I calculated that, at the rate I'd moved up over the last 2.5 years, it'd take me another 3,000 years to have a shot at season tickets.
Re: Let's Internet
Yea, i'll need ever longer. Can you leave your spot on the waitlist in your will?
The cubs just need to build a new, huge stadium that has 100,000 seats, Wrigley is a dump (ducks)...maybe i'll have a chance then.
Re: Let's Internet
Just wait for them to start sucking again. We'll probably move up faster.
Re: Let's Internet
Or, give the economy another couple years of being in the shitter, and I bet you'll see your number start to move up. I'm guessing season tickets are one of the first things to go for a lot of people/businesses when money starts to dwindle.
Re: Let's Internet
While that is most likely right, if they cant afford their season tickets (the companies, people who have them now) there will be no way in hell I can afford them! But I'll make it happen if my number ever comes up. I'm assuming to climb 30 thousand spots (which will most likely never ever come up) but if it did it'll be 40 years from now. Right after retirement...with some money coming in from retirement...sounds like a match made in heaven.
Re: Let's Internet
I was on the list and forgot my account. So I contacted them and they said they didn't have a record of me and I should sign up again. I recently contacted them again and they sent me both numbers...but they're right next to each other so that doesn't really make sense.
Re: Let's Internet
That second link is a MUST SEE!!
It's 3/44 but Vasgersian is a tool!
DH Bradley
I noticed you left out Milton's first name in your lineup. He was the only one.
Can we refer to him as "DH" from now on?
Re: DH Bradley
Re: Let's Internet
I'm pretty sure Miles isn't going anywhere, but how would you propose getting rid of him if you could?
To Rob or anyone else.
Re: Let's Internet
Have you seen Taken? He'd fetch a pretty penny in the human trafficking scam.
Re: Let's Internet
First road trip to Milwaukee, tell Prince Fielder that Aaron Miles is, in fact, made up entirely of veggie burger.
Problem solved.
Re: Let's Internet
no DeRosa in the starting lineup for the Tribe
Re: Let's Internet
It would have been difficult for DeRo to start since he was in Florida playing with Team USA.
Re: Let's Internet
Cubs get 2 runs in 1st...Snyder 2 rbi single after Gathright, DLee got on with singles, 1st and 3rd.
Bradley popped to 2nd, Dubois was hit by pitch which loaded the bases for Snyder's 2 run single
Re: Let's Internet
god bless the edit option...
Scott Eyre is still broke, how's Howry doin'
Re: Let's Internet
Gaudin sucketh...hit by pitch, double, HR, double ugly...3-2 Tribe
"they are teeing off and not wasting time"
"Rothschild to the mound..."
did I mention that I love having an edit option...
Spears triples.
Re: Let's Internet
I have a feeling that "Scott Eyre is broke..." is the new, "3/44"
Thanks Dr. Aaron B for the redundancy.

Re: Let's Internet
Hate to be a downer, fellas, maybe it's the economy or something, but I'm not real optimistic about the year. Of course, I don't see much competition in the division, but I think Chi, Stl, Mil, and Cin will all be contenders. Cincy will surprise.

Lastly, through 5 1/2, South Africa has scored 6 runs. It's not newsworthy, but I'm just stunned.

Very bizarre game -- as you say, both Cubs pitchers were dominant until the one fatal pitch. It was like watching the Bears defense shut down a team, and then lose on 2 punt returns. Some better hitting with RISP would be a good idea, too.
Trouble Boys, the Replacements bio, is a great option. I'm sure Chad loved it.
Amen Brick. What's the point of following early-season games if you can't over-react to them? What, we should be reading books now?
"Weren't the National considered a near lock last year?"
No, I think you're thinking of Radiohead, The 1975, or Bowie's last album.
Although The National's Greatful Dead tribute is pretty cool.
I don't think they're any kind of lock, though I do expect they'll make the playoffs.
It's not like I'm glad they've gone 4-8. I just don't think it's time to be all that worried -- just like I didn't think they were going to keep playing .730 ball.
vegas isn't a fan of the game because of how erratic and unpredictable it is.
SF has recently won 3 world series many thought they weren't supposed to win...BOS won a world series recently that they weren't even supposed to be in the playoffs for...favored teams with huge wins have seen 1st round exists...fun times.
I think they'll be ok too. But having watched this team since the mid-60s, I never think it's time to conclude, well, thank god the drought is over. I've seen/heard way too many people who follow the Cubs say glad we're finally going to win the Series this year. Please. Weren't the National considered a near lock last year?
Best record in baseball and largest division lead.
I'm jumping right now!
Can we please stop pointing out how ridiculous it is to panic and start panicking in earnest?
,571 winning percentage in May.
I think they're gonna be OK.
RAISIN: All I know is that Oscar de la Cruz is still shut down, and I don't know what his prognosis is, or what the plan is going forward.
Remember just two weeks ago, when "all" they had to do was play .500 ball the rest of the season and coast into the playoffs?
Well I guess if pitchers can keep working the edges of the plate to perfection it will be a long season. But that doesn't seem likely. Rizzo finally, fully, snapping out of it would help.
If I didn't believe in coincidences (or science), I would apologize to Gordon Downie--one of my favorites. Sad news about a great talent.
Hi Arizona Phil,
Has there been any news on Oscar de la Cruz' health?

"New City with roots in Anglo Saxon times" Milton Keynes by gordonilla
Milton Keynes Travel Guide: 32 reviews and 77 photos
The City has a wealth of street sculpture and the Whisper is quite a well known piece of work. I ahve seen a copy of this elsewhere - in one of the London boroughs I think. That version was painted a rather garish pastel colour. I prefer this version.
The city is a real mix of people and places. There are areas which are medieval and older, then of course there is the interesting grid address system in the city centre.
The peace pagoda was always a favourite place to visit; located near to Willen lake I believe.
...the lion is one of a pair situated to the left and right of the Peace Pagoda. It is pleasing to the eye and is not too scary!

Guest Blog: Mindy White of Lydia
Plain and simple, we love Mindy White. When she's not on the road with her amazing band, Lydia, Mindy is doing anything she can to spread the word about animal abuse, veganism, and living a compassionate lifestyle. Mindy even starred in our "Animal Testing Breaks Hearts" campaign video!
Just last week, Mindy posted an entry on her blog about going vegetarian or vegan for a day. We loved it so much that we wanted to share it with you!
Here's Mindy in her own words …
go a day being a vegetarian or vegan.
that's how i started, and look at me 6 years later now. it's probably the best choice i've ever made.
a friend bet me that i couldn't go 3 weeks without meat. i'm the type that thrills off of a dare or bet so i, of course, accepted. i had no idea what vegetarians even ate besides like… boring salad & bread. it only took some googling on 'easy vegetarian substitutes' & 'fast vegetarian meals' & i was sold. i couldnt believe how easy it was, just to buy frozen faux meats and make them like you would regular ones. i had only been going strong without meat for 2 weeks and i noticed my body just THANKING me through feeling amazing & feeling awesome and i was like…yep. this is forever. then i found out 2 years ago i was lactose intolerant (since it can develop in anyone from the absence of dairy) and i had to alter my diet even more. i do miss cheese sometimes, but it's seriously not hard, and you feel so much better every single day.
so just saying, why not try it? it's one of the best choices i've ever made. and it's not for a person, or an organization, or any reason besides the fact that meat is flesh, and to me, there's not difference between the flesh on my body and the flesh on a little animal body. it's still flesh, and that disgusts me. NOT to mention, what they pump (horomone wise) into the animals they're killing to sell for meat… and those are going into YOUR BODY causing future weight gain, hormones (giving you girls mustaches haha, and also harming you guys, vise versa… seriously) causing fatigue, illnesses, colds, body odor, diseases, etc.
i say this all cause a have 4 people tell me just tonight that they've made the choice to go vegetarian/vegan randomly an they've never been more happy. even asking for thanksgiving recipe ideas! i'm planning mine as i type. mmmm …stoked!
🙂 so, good luck! and reblog if you want!

The fastest way to heartache and financial loss when remodeling is to hire an uninsured contractor. Here's what can happen:
- You may become liable for work related injuries to the contractor's employees. Your Homeowners policy will not pay for this kind of loss. Protect yourself by requiring the contractor to carry Workers Compensation Insurance.
- If the contractor damages your home, you may be stuck with an expensive repair bill. If your Homeowners policy pays the claim, it is likely they will then cancel your policy. Then it may be difficult to find replacement coverage. And a new policy will be expensive. Insurance companies will penalize you for using an uninsured contractor that caused a loss.
So how do you make sure your contractor or handyman service is insured?
- Ask your contractor for a Certificate of Insurance. A Certificate of Insurance is proof the contractor is insured. Insurance agents do not charge the contractor or the contractor's customer for this service. An insured contractor will be happy to provide you proof of insurance.
- Ask your contractor to have his agent send the Certificate directly to you. Do not allow the contractor to hand deliver it. Why? Unethical contractors do create fake Certificates to dupe homeowners.
- Are you planning a major project or need a major repair? Ask the Contractor to add you as an Additional Insured to their liability policy. This protects you if the contractor hurts someone or damages someone's property while completing your project. If you are an Additional Insured, the contractor's insurance will defend you if you are sued. This can save you the hassle of a lawsuit and financial loss.
Most contractors are hard working and honest business people. But it's up to you to protect your family from the bad apples.
One last tip! If you are planning major repairs or remodeling, please let us know. That way we can keep your Homeowners policy up-to-date. Just call us at 615-777-1165 or email us.
