Chapter 1
1 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
2 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
3 Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
5 Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not their's.
7 They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.
9 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
10 And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.
11 Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.
12 Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
13 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?
14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
15 They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.
16 Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.
17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
Chapter 2
1 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
5 Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:
6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!
7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
8 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
9 Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
10 Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.
11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!
13 Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?
14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
15 Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
16 Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.
17 For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
18 What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
19 Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
20 But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
Chapter 3
1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.
2 O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.
3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
4 And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.
5 Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.
6 He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
8 Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation?
9 Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.
10 The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high.
11 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.
12 Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.
13 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, even for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah.
14 Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.
15 Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, through the heap of great waters.
16 When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.
17 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19 The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.

Insurance Needs Assessment: Married With Children
A growing family, by definition, means growing financial obligations—both present and in the future. Raising children can increase your insurance needs and heightens the urgency for being properly prepared.
When a child becomes a new driver, one choice is to add the teenager to the parents' policy. You may want to discuss with your auto insurer ways to reduce the additional premium that accompanies a new driver.
You should periodically review your homeowners policy for three primary reasons.
A growing family generally accumulates increasing amounts of personal belongings. Think of each child's toys, clothes, electronic equipment, etc. Moreover, household income tends to rise during this time, which means that jewelry, art, and other valuables may be among your growing personal assets.
The second reason is that the costs of rebuilding—and debris removal—may have risen over time, necessitating an increase in insurance coverage.
Lastly, with growing wealth, you may want to raise liability coverage, or if you do not have an umbrella policy, consider adding it now. Umbrella insurance is designed to help protect against the financial risk of personal liability.
With your first child, be sure to change your health care coverage to a family plan. If you and your spouse have retained separate plans, you may want to evaluate which plan has a better cost-benefit profile. Think about whether now is the appropriate time to consolidate coverage into one plan.
If your family is likely to suffer economically because of the loss of one spouse's income, then disability insurance serves an important role in replacing income that may allow you to meet living expenses without depleting savings.
The information in this material is not intended as tax or legal advice. It may not be used for the purpose of avoiding any federal tax penalties. Please consult legal or tax professionals for specific information regarding your individual situation.
If you already have disability insurance, consider increasing the income replacement benefit since your income and standard of living may now be higher than when you bought the policy.
With children, the amount of future financial obligations increases. The cost of raising children and funding their college education can be expensive. Should one of the spouses die, the loss of income might severely limit the future quality of life for your surviving children and spouse. Not only does death eliminate the future income of one spouse permanently, but the future earning power of the surviving spouse might be diminished as single parenthood may necessitate fewer working hours and turning down promotions.
The amount of life insurance coverage needed to fund this potential financial loss is predicated on, among other factors, lifestyle, debts, age and number of children, and anticipated future college expenses.
Several factors will affect the cost and availability of life insurance, including age, health, and the type and amount of insurance purchased. Life insurance policies have expenses, including mortality and other charges. If a policy is surrendered prematurely, the policyholder also may pay surrender charges and have income tax implications. You should consider determining whether you are insurable before implementing a strategy involving life insurance. Any guarantees associated with a policy are dependent on the ability of the issuing insurance company to continue making claim payments.
Some couples decide to have one parent stay at home to care for the children full time. The economic value of the stay-at-home parent is frequently overlooked. Should the stay-at-home parent die, the surviving parent would likely need to pay for a range of household and child-care services and potentially suffer the loss of future income due to the demands of single parenthood.
Extended Care
The earlier you consider extended-care choices the better. However, the financial demands of more immediate priorities, like saving for your children's college education or your retirement, will take precedence if resources are limited.

Randy Wolf (0-0, 0.00) vs. Chris Young (0-0, 0.00).
COMMENTS: The Dodgers emerged from Opening Day with a 4-1 victory over long-time nemesis Jake Peavy, on a day when almost everyone did as we had hoped: Rafael Furcal and Orlando Hudson reached base and both stole a base to start the game; James Loney slugged both in with a 2RBI single to left; Matt Kemp homered and made a spectacular diving catch; Hiroki Kuroda got us into the seventh with only a scratch wound of a single first-inning run; Cory Wade and Hong-Chih Kuo held the lead; and Broxton shut them down in the ninth with 100 MPH balls of heat. Who needs that Manny Ramirez guy (who went 0-for-3 with 1K)?
The Dodgers owned Chris Young last year, beating him all three times (in two of the games, Young took the loss). But Young's a better pitcher than that (42-28 career), so let's see if last year's teammate Randy Wolf can beat him tonight. And did Vin Scully mention that Chris Young went to Princeton? Funny, that's the first time I've heard that.

For most people the hardest part of buying a home, especially the first one, is saving for thedown payment. Many people will not have 20% of the purchase price to put down, but with mortgage loan insurance you can put as little as 5% down.
Mortgage loan insurance protects the lender from default and most Canadian lending institutions are required by law to have it. If the borrower defaults (fails to pay) on the mortgage, the lender is reimbursed by the insurer. The cost for this coverage is in the form of an insurance premium which is often added to the mortgage, or you can choose to pay in a single lump sum at the time of closing. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Genworth Financial and Canada Guarantee are three major providers of this type of insurance in Canada.
CMHC's standard mortgage loan insurance premiums are as follows:
Financing Required |
Premium % of Loan Amount |
80.01 to 85% |
2.80% |
85.01 – 90% |
3.10% |
Between 90.01 and 95% (Borrowed Down payment) |
4.00% |
*Premiums in Ontario are subject to provincial sales tax and premiums in Quebec are subject to provincial sales tax — the sales tax cannot be added to the loan amount. |
Insurance premiums are calculated based on the mortgage amount. |
Down Payment Requirements: Homes over $500,000
This applies to people who have a down payment of less than 20% and therefore require mortgage default insurance. The minimum down payment is 10% for the portion of a house price that exceeds $500,000.
To break this down, the minimum down payment for a $600,000 home would be $35,000. That's 5% ($30,000) on the first $500,000 and 10% ($5,000) on the next $100,000 in price. The blended down payment in this case would be 5.8%.

Autism & Gut Health in Kittery, ME
Gastrointestinal issues, especially irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), occur at a higher rate in autistic people compared to others. As such, some healthcare providers believe that promoting gut bacteria health with the GAPS diet can improve the cognition and behavior of autistic people. To schedule a consultation with a qualified healthcare professional in Kittery that can help you implement a treatment plan for autism that includes a gut bacteria autism diet, call (207) 536-9661 or contact Dr. Nicole Schertell online.
What Is Autism?
Often called autism, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is defined by the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network as a developmental disability. Autism now includes the following neurodevelopmental disorders that were previously diagnosed separately: autism, childhood disintegrative disorder, Asperger's syndrome, and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (NOS).
Common autistic traits include:
- Underdeveloped mental skills used to accomplish tasks (executive dysfunction)
- Unusual sensitivity to certain stimuli
- Non-standard ways of learning and approaching problem solving
- Special interests (deep, passionate interests in specific subjects)
- Atypical, often repetitive, and sensory-seeking movement; stimming--self-stimulatory repetitive behavior--may be used to self-soothe, focus, or express distress or excitement
- A need for consistency, routine, or order
- Difficulties understanding and expressing communication; some autistic people may never speak and use sign language or augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), while others may become non-speaking under stress
- Communication that is extremely self-referential
- Difficulties understanding and expressing typical social interaction behavior, such as being uncomfortable with eye contact or not understanding sarcasm
- Poor interoception (being unable to sense your body's internal state, such as identifying hunger, the need for sleep, or the need to eliminate waste)
Understanding the Theory Behind GAPS
Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS) refers to a wide variety of health problems caused by imbalance in gut bacteria. Human gut health relies upon the proper balance and functioning of the natural intestinal microbiota, or gut bacteria, which feed on and help to digest foods in the digestive tract while also contributing to proper immune function.
Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, the coiner of the term GAPS and inventor of the GAPS diet, states that autism--as well as many other conditions like dyslexia, ADHD, depression, and schizophrenia--is caused at least in part by GAPS. Though not scientifically proven, the theory behind the GAPS diet states that toxins are produced by gut bacteria that are out of balance, and the toxins can then pass into the bloodstream and reach the brain.
Autism GAPS Diet
The GAPS diet is an elimination diet designed to treat autism; this gut bacteria autism treatment may also be able to treat conditions like:
- Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis
- Depression
- Schizophrenia
- Dyslexia
- Bipolar disorder
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
The goals of the GAPS diet are to repair the gut, balance gut bacteria, and promote natural healing. The diet focuses on three areas: nutrition, supplementation, and detoxification, and consists of three phases:
- Elimination: During this phase, all foods are eliminated from the diet except for bone broth, juices from probiotic foods, kefir, and homemade yogurt. Acceptable foods are then slowly reintroduced.
- Maintenance: This diet is maintained for one and a half to two years.
- Reintroduction: After the maintenance phase, a normal diet can slowly be resumed.
In addition to encouraging food allergy testing and eliminating allergy-causing foods, the GAPS diet restricts the following foods:
- Grains
- Starches
- Processed/refined carbohydrates
- Commercial dairy
Recommended acceptable foods for the GAPS diet are low in carbohydrates and high in protein. The following foods can be eaten during the maintenance phase and reintroduced slowly during the elimination phase:
- Eggs
- Vegetables
- Fresh meat, preferably organic and grass-fed
- Fish and shellfish
- Fermented foods, like kefir and sauerkraut
The GAPS diet also suggests eating the following at every meal during the maintenance phase:
- Animal fats
- Coconut oil
- Cold-pressed olive oil
- Fermented foods
- Bone broth
Supplementation and Detoxification
Supplementation in the GAPS diet can be tailored to each individual, but usually involves prebiotics, probiotics, and omega-3 fish oil, all of which may be able to ease gastrointestinal symptoms and balance gut bacteria. Proponents of the GAPS diet believe that detoxification cleanses may help eliminate toxins from the body, specifically from the intestines. Detoxification may include milkshakes made with freshly pressed organic fruits, vegetables, and herbs; undergoing enemas; or limiting exposure to heavy metals.
Request Your Appointment Today
According to Dr. Campbell-McBride, the GAPS diet could drastically improve cognition, executive function, and communication skills in autistic people, especially children. To schedule a consultation with a qualified healthcare professional in Kittery who can discuss if the GAPS diet is right for you, call (207) 536-9661 or contact Dr. Nicole Schertell online.

Bengalis and only bengalis can come up with a term like "Niramish Alu Dom". I mean isn't it plain common sense that Alu Dom IS a "niramish" aka vegetarian dish. But Bongs are so fastidious about their vegetarian food that they divide it in two categories --- (1) the regular vegetarian cooked with vegetables but may contain onion and garlic and (2) the strict satvik vegetarian which uses no onion or garlic.
Onion and garlic are considered as "rajasik" or "tamasik" food which increases body heat and supposedly fuels passion and ignorance. About ignorance I am ignorant but I can imagine the heights of passion that an onion-garlic breath can bring about. Passion to run away.
But honestly as I said earlier if I have to choose between not shedding tears on my allium and passion, I will go with the former. I am very passionate about my comfort that way. So I was super interested in this super vegetarian alur dom that my Ma made. No onion. No garlic.The Other aloor dom on my blog does have onion after all.
My Ma, the queen of matching up spices with vegetables makes this Alur Dom with the Bhaja Masla that she makes. The smoky, intense bhaja masla makes a spicy gravy that clings to the potatoes like my 3 yr old is wont to do with me. she also uses Methi seeds and Hing which gives off a beautiful flavor to the hot oil and thus the dish. It is an extremely simple recipe with tantalizing results. You wouldn't believe that something so delicious could turn up with such an easy recipe. I mean easy if PBJ sandwich is not the only thing you eat or cook or know about. But even then this is easier than a finely made PBJ sandwich. Me thinks
Wishing you all a Very Colorful Holi with this Alur Dom. Stay Tuned as I have something to share with you in the next post. Till then "Dhoom Macha De...Raang Jama de"

Potatoes -- 14 small red ones
Boil for 10-15minutes in salted water till partly cooked
Peel skin, prick the potatoes randomly and toss them with salt, 1 tsp of ginger paste and 1/2 tsp of Kashmiri Mirch
Edited on April 30th, 2013: In another version I toss the potatoes with salt, ginger powder, amchoor powder, kashmiri mirch and black pepper powder and then fry. The black pepper adds a beautiful layer to the dish
Next heat 2 tbsp of White Oil + 1/2 tsp ghee.
Temper the Oil with
2 Bay Leaf
2 Dry Red Chili
1 star anise
15-20- methi seeds
1/4 tsp of Hing
Switch off the heat and let the oil soak in the flavor of the spices. Switch back on again.
Add 2 large tomato finely chopped along with 5 green chili chopped in rounds. Or puree 2 large tomatoes with 5 green chili and add that. Fry for 6-7 minutes till the tomato is mushed up and reduced to a sorry pulp.Puree is a better option. Also little tomato paste along with fresh tomatoes works wonder.Note: I had made this alu dom very spicy, you can adjust the chili heat to suit your style.
Add about
1/2 tbsp of grated ginger
and fry for 2 more minutes.
In a bowl make a paste of
1 tbsp yogurt
+ 1/2 tbsp of Corriander powder
+ 1 tbsp and 1 tsp of Bhaja Masla. (Bhaja Masla recipe is here. It is the last one.)
Lower heat and add the paste.
Add 1/2 tsp of Red Chili powder.
Fry the masala, sprinkling water as needed for couple of minutes. Add the potatoes, toss in the masala.
Add about 1 cup of water, salt to taste, 1/2 tsp of sugar and simmer. Cook covered till potatoes are done.
Garnish with chopped coriander and two green chili chopped in thin rounds.

Hearing aids aren't just available in a wide range of sizes and styles; they can also accommodate a variety of accessories. Deciding which, if any, will benefit you can be tricky. You may want to speak with your audiologist to learn more about any particular product.
Hearing Aid Accessories
Some of the more popular hearing aid accessories include:
- Wireless accessories. By using Bluetooth® technology, wireless accessories enable you to hear better in situations where there is a lot of background noise or distance between you and the speaker. These include wireless microphones, remotes and television headsets.
- Transmitters and receivers. These are helpful in educational situations (a teacher's words are transmitted directly into the student's ears) and for children. Transmitters and receivers work together to overcome background noise, distance and reverberation, and contribute to a better learning experience.
- Power adaptors and cords. These add versatility by allowing direct input from various audio sources (FM systems, MP3 players, TVs and computers). Available with both monaural and binaural cords.
- Earwax filters. Filters prevent earwax, a leading cause of damage to electronic components, from entering the hearing aid. This helps prolong the life of the instrument and provides you with clear, natural sound.
- Cleaning kits. Keeping your hearing aids clean can result in a longer life for your instruments. Cleaning kits give you a leg up on keeping your device in prime working condition. They typically include a wax removal brush and pick, a tube and vent cleaner, battery door opener and battery replacement magnet.
- Charging stations. For those with rechargeable hearing aids, a charging station is essential. Instead of having to fiddle with the battery compartments, users can simply place their hearing aids in the cradle for a few hours to get a full day's worth of listening time.
Alerting Devices
Alerting devices hook up to telephones, alarm clocks, doorbells and other electronic devices. They alert you through a loud sound or flashing light, making you aware of an incoming phone call, a visitor at the door, etc.
Most hearing aids use disposable zinc-air batteries that are color- and number-coded for easy replacement. The type of battery needed depends on the style and size of your hearing aids and includes: 5 (red), 10 (yellow), 13 (orange), 312 (brown) and 675 (blue). On average, batteries last five to seven days depending on the size and style of your hearing aids, your degree of hearing loss, the amount of time your hearing aids are used and your listening environment.
Most drugstores carry replacement batteries; they can also be purchased from your audiologist at Hampton Roads ENT ~ Allergy or ordered online.
Rechargeable Batteries
Rechargeable hearing aids are one of the topmost requested features that hearing aid uses are asking for. They free users from having to deal with the tiresome task of changing the batteries, performing daily battery tests and always carrying around extra batteries. Rechargeable batteries are also environmentally friendly as they save users from throwing away nearly 100 hearing aid batteries per year.
The benefits of rechargeable batteries are plentiful:
- Your charger can be your devices' overnight home so you don't have to worry about losing them.
- You don't need to worry about having extra batteries on hand.
- You will save time and money by not having to purchase disposable batteries.
Many rechargeable batteries can provide up to 24 hours of hearing from a single charge. The hearing aid may also include a fast-charging option, which gives uses a few hours of immediate use.
Assistive Listening Devices
Assistive listening devices (ALDs) are portable systems that help individuals with hearing loss communicate more effectively. Unlike hearing aids, which amplify sounds, ALDs work by separating speech from background noise. This allows the person with the hearing impairment to hear more clearly.
Some ALDs are used in conjunction with hearing aids, while others work as standalone devices. ALDs are useful in a number of situations, primarily those involving distance, poor acoustics and noisy backgrounds.
There are several different types of ALDs available, for both large facilities and personal use. Some focus on amplifying speech, while others utilize computer programs to convert text to speech. Some of the different types include:
FM Systems
FM systems rely on radio signals to transmit amplified sounds directly to your hearing aid. They consist of a microphone, transmitter and receiver, and are used in a variety of public places such as classrooms, restaurants, movie theaters and churches.
The microphone is worn by the person speaking (or placed in close proximity to the sound source) and the signal is broadcast from the transmitter to the receiver, which is tuned to a specific frequency.
Personal Amplifiers
Personal amplifiers are essentially small FM systems used in smaller, more intimate settings where radio signals are less effective; they are often used when watching television, traveling by car or spending time outdoors.
The microphone is built directly into the unit, and is often directional, allowing you to aim it in the direction of the sound source in order to pick up the signal most effectively.
Infrared Systems
Infrared systems work on the same principle as FM systems, but use infrared light instead of radio waves to transmit sound. The transmitter converts sound signals into light and beams those to the receiver, which then translates the light signal back into sound.
An advantage to infrared systems is the fact that their signal is unable to pass through walls as it does with FM systems, eliminating competing broadcasts that might hamper the listener and preventing confidential information from being disseminated. They are particularly useful in courtrooms and large movie theaters.
Hearing Loops
Hearing loop, or induction loop, systems utilize electromagnetic energy to transmit sound directly to your hearing aid or cochlear implant. They consist of a sound source (public address systems are popular), an amplifier, a loop of wire and a receiver or telecoil (t-coil), a tiny wireless receiver built into many devices.
When you are in close proximity to the loop, you will receive clear sound free of background noise. Hearing loops can be connected to all types of audio sources, and are often set up in public facilities such as airports, churches and lecture halls.

Hiring the right contractor can be tough—and it's one of the most important decisions you'll make during a repair project, according to the Better Business Bureau. Whether you're looking for someone to do a small repair or to help clean up after a storm that's caused damage, it's important to make sure you've hired someone you can trust to do the job.
We've pulled together some tips for when you need help with a repair or even if you're getting ready to hire for a home improvement project.
In both cases—a repair or a planned project—having the right homeowners insurance can give you peace of mind, too.
- What's your project? Are you looking to remodel one room or make minor updates to a small space? The type of project determines whether you'll need a general contractor or someone more specialized.
- Check in with your local homebuilders' association. You'll be able to search contractors within your area and put together a list of potentials.
- Get referrals. Ask your friends, family, and coworkers who they've worked with in the past. They may have a great contractor you haven't heard of — or know of a few you should stay away from.
- Prepare ahead. Compile a list of reputable contractors before you need one. The stress of an emergency repair might impair your judgment.
- Get multiple estimates. If price is a big concern, checking with only one contractor won't guarantee you the best price. But the cheapest estimate also doesn't ensure the best work. If you have the time, try and get a second or third quote.
- Association check. See if the trade association(s) to which they belong stipulates a code of ethics, minimum hours of satisfactory work, and trade exams.
- Search for reviews (good or bad). Check in with your state attorney general's office and the Better Business Bureau to see if there are any complaints against the contractor. Glance over their public company reviews on social networks or other trusted review sites.
Once you've selected a contractor, ask for proper documentation as you move closer to signing off on the job.
- A copy of their contractor's license. Licensing and certification requirements vary by state. Check with your local State Consumer Protection Office to view your area's licensing laws to ensure your contractor is verified and up to date.
- Certificate of insurance. Ask for both general liability, property damage, and workers' compensation coverage and make sure they are up to date.
- A written warranty. You'll want a warranty for the work they do, the materials they use, and those who work for them.
- A list of references. Have they done a project similar to what you are looking to have done?
- A detailed quote. The quote should outline all material used and labor that is expected to be done.
- The contract. Detailed within the contract should be the cost, work to be done, time schedules, guarantees, payment schedules, building permits, and other expectations. (Keep this contract for future reference or if any questions arise after the job is complete).
- A receipt. Make sure to get a receipt that is marked "paid in full" when a job is completed and you make the final payment.
- Discuss the need for a lien waiver. This assures you that your general contractor is paying any subcontractors or suppliers they are working with, so you aren't liable for additional costs down the road.
- Keep records. Find a place to keep all your paperwork, receipts, and change orders. Consider making digital copies as well.
- Snap a photo. Map your progress with weekly photos – or save them for a big before and after the reveal.
- Write a review. Good or bad, share details of the work they did, how well they stuck to the timeline, and what the finished product looked like. This will help others in their search for hiring a contractor of their own.
Most contractors are trustworthy and are in this line of work for the right reasons. However, some scammers pose as contractors and don't actually have your best interests in mind. Here are some signs that should make you think twice.
- The contractor asks you to pay the entire balance up-front.
- The contractor only accepts cash.
- The contractor avoids giving you a written contract.
- A contractor goes door-to-door – or pops up right after a storm.
- The contractor lists a P.O. Box instead of a street address.
- The contractor uses a vehicle that doesn't list the business name.
- A contractor offers to pay your insurance deductible.
- A contractor offers to arrange a loan for you.
- You have little to no experience hiring home contractors.
- You're unable to access the areas of your home that a contractor claims are damaged. Ask a friend or family member or another trusted professional to inspect the area for you.
- You're not 100% clear about the contract wording. It's OK to ask questions or have someone else review the contract with you.
Finally, let your Erie Insurance agent know when you're planning a home improvement project and when it's completed. If your project adds value to your home, you'll also want to make sure your homeowners insurance policy is updated to reflect the right amount of coverage.
