the question: If I'm building a new home how do I need to protect myself legally in dealing with a contractor?
the answer: Of course you will want to have a well-crafted contract that clearly defines the roles and responsibilities of each party. To make sure these legal matters are in order you should have the contract reviewed by an attorney before singing it. While a good attorney and a strong contract will protect you legally some of the best protection you can have is the practical kind that comes from quality due diligence prior to execution of the contract. You should look at the background of the builder: checking with the State to see if any complaints have been filed there against the builder’s license, go see other homes they have built and talk to those past customers for references.

Avoid fad diets: use weight loss tips that work (StatePoint) Losing weight to look good may be a great motivator. An even better motivator is to get healthier, as excess fat tissue breeds inflammation, which can contribute to many debilitating and deadly diseases. And according to many doctors, even just a modest amount of extra weight can be damaging to your health. When it comes to diets, if you’ve “tried them all” and failed, some experts say that could be part of the problem. “Most diet books and programs promise a quick fix for weight loss -- for example, avoiding all carbs, eating only raw foods or amping up protein. These fad diets show little respect for the fact that a well-balanced, nutritious diet is critical for our bodies to function properly,” warns Dr. Jennifer Sacheck, an associate professor of Nutrition at Tufts University and co-author of the book, “Thinner this Year: A Diet and Exercise Program for Living Strong, Fit, and Sexy.” In “Thinner this Year,” Sacheck, along with motivational speaker and co-author Chris
Crowley, offer a laymen’s explanation of the science of diet and exercise, believing that if people truly understand what’s going on inside their bodies, then they’re more likely to make long-term lifestyle changes.
• Eat less and be mindful. Don’t “super-size yourself.” At the same time, don’t skip meals. Doing so can lower your metabolism and make you more susceptible to binge eating later.
“You don’t need a fancy gadget and there is no single magic exercise,” says Crowley. “Health and wellness means a serious lifetime commitment to good nutrition and plenty of exercise.”
• Don’t eat “dead food,” -- food that is loaded with calories and offers little nutritional value. Skip or limit refined flour, refined sugar, high fat meat and solid fat. Eat healthy fats in moderation and avoid saturated and trans fat. Likewise, don’t drink your calories. Instead, load up on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy and lean meats.
With that in mind, the writing duo is offering some tips for losing weight the healthy way and keeping it off for life: • Make up your mind. Set your goal and go for it. This will mean embracing changes in your habits and routines. • Exercise for the rest of your life. Stay motivated by keeping things interesting and changing your workout routine periodically. Try new exercise classes or sign up for a big race. “Exercise works like crazy and it changes lives. Big time,” says Crowley.
• Learn more. Truly understand the changes that are taking place inside your body as a result of your hard work, so you can be motivated to keep going. For more tips on healthy ways to lose weight and keep it off, www.ThinnerThisYear.com.Sustainable weight loss is no easy feat, but with motivation, dedication and hard work, you can feel better and live longer.

Hey... no drooling on the cell phone
(StatePoint) More than 85 percent of American kids now have mobile devices, and this number is on the rise. And they don’t just use them for games, movies and Facebook. They use them for homework, to collaborate on school projects, and some even are integrated into classrooms. Surprisingly, half of parents say their kids have damaged laptops, tablets or smartphones, adding up to $2.8 billion in repairs, according to new research from SquareTrade, the number one consumer-rated protection plan company. Eighty percent of accidents happen at home, with most in the kitchen. And 33 percent of kid-related
accidents involve food, with half involving milk! So how can you keep gadgets protected around kids? Encourage children to be careful around technology. Be sure to get sturdy cases and covers. And consider water-proof ones, to ward off milk! Also consider a protection plan. For example, SquareTrade protection plans cover drops, spills, and such accidents as tablets getting crushed in backpacks or smartphones slipping into cereal bowls. They also cover mechanical and electrical problems, like antennae and Wi-Fi failure, broken charging ports or touch-screen failure.
Best of all, SquareTrade protection plans are easy and hassle-free. If your device breaks, the company helps get it repaired in two days for most devices -- and frequently overnight for phones. If it’s an Apple product, you can get it fixed the same day at a Genius Bar and get reimbursed. And you are covered for up to four repairs or replacements per plan, just in case kids slip up multiple times. SquareTrade is available at Amazon, eBay, Costco, Sam`s Club, Staples and at www.squaretrade.com. Life with devices and kids needn’t be perilous to your pocketbook.
