Selling your home is the largest business transaction most of us will ever make. With such high stakes and so many important steps, its important to do it right. That's where I come in. I am committed to guiding you at each step of the home-selling process to ensure that you get every dollars worth for your valued property. My expertise, resources, and diligence help to ensure that the selling process is as seamless and profitable for you as possible.
The Selling Process
I take a comprehensive approach to the sales process. Finding the right buyer often requires that proper staging, marketing, and timing all align. The real estate marketplace can be a competitive one. My goal is to make your home stand out.
To this end, I will be responsible for the marketing activities necessary to sell your house. This includes the creation of a comprehensive marketing plan designed to showcase your property to the right buyers.
Furthermore, many home sales occur as a result of internal networking between real estate professionals to pair buyers and sellers. I am deeply connected within the local real estate community, giving your property optimal exposure.
General Tips for Preparing Your Home:
First impressions matter! The correct staging of your home can go a long way toward achieving a successful sale at the highest price. Even minor alterations can have a major impact. Here are a few general guidelines that can help transform your home and ensure you to get top-dollar.
- Start from the outside: A well-kept lawn can help secure a strong first-impression for your home. A day or two of yard work can mean a world of difference in the buyers mind. A clean lawn and well-groomed landscape will help bring in prospective buyers from the beginning.
- The front door welcomes the prospect: Doorways and entrances are usually the first thing a visitor sees inside of your home. Step outside your front door and take an objective view. A fresh coat of paint or scrubbing your door clean will be well worth the effort invested. A seasonal door decoration can instantly give your home a warm, inviting feel.
- Highlight your home: Ample lighting will project a feeling of warmth to the potential buyers. Clean windows will also help illuminate walls and ceilings.
- Clean kitchens and sparkling bathrooms help sell homes: Be sure these rooms are gleaming! Counter tops should be clean and free of clutter. Repair caulking in bathtubs and showers. Fixtures should always be polished. Putting out fresh towels is a nice touch.
- A place for everything: Make sure beds are made and clothing is put away. Neat, well-organized closets show that there is ample storage space. Straightening newspapers, magazines or other "homey clutter" will help improve your homes image to buyers.
- Check for repairs:Minor flaws in your home suggest neglect to the prospect. Be sure to clean and check major appliances. If a potential buyer can find a minor defect in a house, he or she will often assume there are more serious underlying issues.
- Last, relax and have fun! Once a showing is scheduled, try to make plans for lunch or to visit a friend. Having homeowners milling around will often make prospect buyers feel uncomfortable and hurry through a showing. So, relax, and let me do my job to showcase your beautiful home.

When people are out boating in the summer, safety can sometimes take a backseat to pleasure. This could be a tragic mistake. In 2020, there were 5,265 boating accidents in the U.S., causing 767 fatalities and 3,191 injuries, as reported by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). Enjoy the sun and the water but keep the following boat safety tips in mind.
Don't Drink While Boating
Alcohol consumption is a major contributing factor in fatal boating accidents. It was the leading factor in 18% of boating deaths in 2020. It is well known that drinking and driving is dangerous. Consuming alcohol can be even more hazardous on the water than on land because the marine environment (wind, waves, sun, vibration) can accelerate an operator's level of impairment.
Additionally, it is illegal in all 50 states to operate a boat under the influence of alcohol. The legal limit is .08% — the same for operating a boat as driving a motor vehicle on land. The Coast Guard enforces a federal law prohibiting boating under the influence (BUI).
Wear a Life Jacket at All Times
Life jackets save lives. As stated by the Coast Guard, 75% of victims who died in fatal boating accidents in 2020 drowned. Although some state laws only require that life jackets be accessible, not worn, it is much safer to wear them. You may not have time to reach for and put on a life jacket before disaster strikes in a sudden boating accident. With the thin, flexible, compact life jackets available today, there is no reason not to wear one on the water.
Watch Out for the Propellers
The Coast Guard reports 247 boating accidents in 2020 in which a propeller struck at least one person. Accidents involving propellers caused 39 deaths and 241 injuries. Before starting the engine, it is essential to ensure all passengers are accounted for and no one is in the water near the boat. Watch children carefully and do not allow them to sit where they could fall near the propellers.
Perform a Boat Safety Check
Before you set out:
- Do a routine safety check of the boat.
- Make sure you have a full tank of gas.
- Check engine oil and transmission fluid levels.
- Ensure your battery is fully charged and electronic and other components are in good working condition. The boat should be stocked with safety equipment, including a fire extinguisher, boat lights, extra batteries, cell phone, flares, maps, and a first aid kit.
Pay Attention to the Weather
Before you leave the dock, check the local weather and the forecast for your destination. Always have a radio onboard. Keep an eye out for inclement weather, and get off the water as soon as possible if dark skies, wind shifts, choppy water, or lightning appear.
Our agent can help you find the best rates on the boat insurance coverage you need.

Everyone invests for a return, but what if you want to invest in land and get a quick return on your investment? Fortunately, there are ways that you can influence your return on investments (ROI) when investing in land. Keep reading to look at these 3 things when analyzing which land will get you the fastest return in Florida…
Raw land investing is an often overlooked way to invest but this kind of investing provides investors with an amazing way to generate fast ROI if done correctly. If you're wondering how you can get quick returns on your raw land then apply "the 3 P's" of fast raw land returns.
Look at these 3 things when analyzing which land will get you the fastest return in Florida…
The 3 P's of Fast Land Returns
In land investing in Florida it's said that the profit is made when you buy, not when you sell. This means you need to be able to acquire your land investment at a good price. We'd build on this concept to say that if you want to get a fast return, you need to find land at an attractive price but have a plan to be able to sell it at a higher price.
The market can influence your buying and selling prices. Make sure the market can support each of these prices! Avoid the mistake of buying at a low price and thinking that you can sell at any price: do your due diligence to find out what price points the market will support and whether your land has the potential to be in both price points. That leads us to the second P…
Next, look at the potential you have of seeing the returns on your land increase. Land increases in value because it becomes rarer and in greater demand, so what factors make land rarer or in greater demand?
For example, if you buy near a city and the city is expanding rapidly in the direction of your land, the demand will likely increase faster than if you buy land and the city expands in a different direction. Demand by city expansion is not the only type of potential a land has to increase in value quickly, which leads us to the third P…
The best way to see your land increase in value is to buy land from someone who doesn't understand its value and then sell the land to someone very specific to can understand its value.
For that reason, you need to look at raw land through the eyes of a potential buyer and ask yourself, "Who would this land appeal to?" and then market the land to that group. If your land is near an expanding city then find a developer; if your land is in a beautiful wooded area with a river then perhaps an outdoors person or a hunter might want the land.
Land tends to increase in value but it normally takes time. If you want to speed up the process, look at these 3 things when analyzing which land will get you the fastest return in Florida.

The Pentagon's effort to account for tens of thousands of Americans missing in action from foreign wars is so inept, mismanaged and wasteful that it risks descending from "dysfunction to total failure," according to an internal study suppressed by military officials.
Largely beyond the public spotlight, the decades-old pursuit of bones and other MIA evidence is sluggish, often duplicative and subjected to too little scientific rigor, the report says.
The Associated Press obtained a copy of the internal study after Freedom of Information Act requests for it by others were denied.
The report paints a picture of a Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command, a military-run group known as JPAC and headed by a two-star general, as woefully inept and even corrupt. The command is digging up too few clues on former battlefields, relying on inaccurate databases and engaging in expensive "boondoggles" in Europe, the study concludes.
In North Korea, the JPAC was snookered into digging up remains between 1996 and 2000 that the North Koreans apparently had taken out of storage and planted in former American fighting positions, the report said. Washington paid the North Koreans hundreds of thousands of dollars to "support" these excavations.
Some recovered bones had been drilled or cut, suggesting they had been used by the North Koreans to make a lab skeleton. Some of those remains have since been identified, but their compromised condition added time and expense and "cast doubt over all of the evidence recovered" in North Korea, the study said. This practice of "salting" recovery sites was confirmed to the AP by one U.S. participant.
JPAC's leaders authorized the study of its inner workings, but the then-commanding general, Army Maj. Gen. Stephen Tom, disavowed it and suppressed the findings when they were presented by the researcher last year. Now retired, Tom banned its use "for any purpose," saying the probe went beyond its intended scope. His deputy concurred, calling it a "raw, uncensored draft containing some contentious material."
The AP obtained two internal memos describing the decision to bury the report. The memos raised no factual objections but said the command would not consider any of the report's findings or recommendations.
The failings cited by the report reflect one aspect of a broader challenge to achieving a uniquely American mission — accounting for the estimated 83,348 service members still listed as missing from World War II, Korea and Vietnam.
This is about more than tidying up the historical record. It is about fulfilling a promise to the mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers and sons and daughters of the missing. Daughters like Shelia Reese, 62, of Chapel Hill, N.C., who still yearns for the father she never met, the boy soldier who went to war and never returned.
She was 2 months old when heartbreaking word landed at her grandmother's door a week before Christmas 1950 that Pfc. Kenneth F. Reese, a 19-year-old artilleryman, was missing in action in North Korea. To this day, the military can't tell her if he was killed in action or died in captivity. His body has never been found.
"It changed my whole life. I've missed this man my whole life," she says.
She's not alone.
Reese is among 7,910 unaccounted for from Korea, down from 8,200 when the war ended 60 years ago this month.
A sense of emptiness and unanswered questions haunted many families of the missing throughout the second half of the 20th century, when science and circumstance did not permit the almost exact accounting for the dead and the missing that has been achieved in Iraq and Afghanistan. While the government's efforts have provided closure for hundreds of families of the missing in recent years, many others are still waiting.
Over time, the obscure government bureaucracies in charge of the accounting task have largely managed to escape close public scrutiny despite clashing with a growing number of advocacy groups and individuals such as Frank Metersky, a Korean War veteran who has spent decades pressing for a more aggressive and effective U.S. effort.
The outlook for improvement at the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command, he says, is not encouraging.
"Today it's worse than ever," he says.
People disagree on the extent of the problem. But even the current JPAC commander, Air Force Maj. Gen. Kelly K. McKeague, says he would not dispute those who say his organization is dysfunctional.
"I'd say you're right, and we're doing something about it," McKeague said in a telephone interview last week from his headquarters in Hawaii. He said changes, possibly to include consolidating the accounting bureaucracy and putting its management under the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington, are under consideration.
The internal report by Paul M. Cole was never meant to be made public. It is unsparing in its criticisms:
—In recent years the process by which JPAC gathers bones and other material useful for identifications has "collapsed" and is now "acutely dysfunctional."
—JPAC is finding too few investigative leads, resulting in too few collections of human remains to come even close to achieving Congress's demand for a minimum 200 identifications per year by 2015. Of the 80 identifications that JPAC's Central Identification Laboratory made in 2012, only 35 were derived from remains recovered by JPAC. Thirty-eight of the 80 were either handed over unilaterally by other governments or were disinterred from a U.S. military cemetery. Seven were from a combination of those sources.
—Some search teams are sent into the field, particularly in Europe, on what amount to boondoggles. No one is held to account for "a pattern of foreign travel, accommodations and activities paid for by public funds that are ultimately unnecessary, excessive, inefficient or unproductive." Some refer to this as "military tourism."
—JPAC lacks a comprehensive list of the people for whom it's searching. Its main database is incomplete and "riddled with unreliable data."
—"Sketch maps" used by the JPAC teams looking for remains on the battlefield are "chronically unreliable," leaving the teams "cartigraphically blind." Cole likened this to 19th century military field operations.
Absent prompt and significant change, "the descent from dysfunction to total failure … is inevitable," Cole concluded.
He directed most of his criticism at the field operations that collect bones and other material, as opposed to the laboratory scientists at JPAC who use that material to identify the remains. Cole is a management consultant and recognized research expert in the field of accounting for war remains; he still works at JPAC.
More broadly, the government organizations responsible for the accounting mission, including the Pentagon's Defense Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Office, or DPMO, which is in charge of policy, have sometimes complicated their task by making public statements that their critics view as disingenuous or erroneous.
The head of DPMO, for example, retired Army Maj. Gen. W. Montague Winfield, said last month at a public forum that the U.S. government has "no evidence" that U.S. servicemen taken prisoner in North Korea during the 1950-53 war were later moved to the former Soviet Union against their will and never returned.
Washington made a detailed case in writing to Moscow in 1993 that such transfers did happen, and the AP has obtained a videotape produced by U.S. officials and given to the Russians at the same time to support the U.S. case.
The tape, which has never before been made public, was provided to the AP by a former government official who was not authorized to release it. It says that based on interviews and other research, U.S. investigators believe "10s if not 100s" of American POWs were transferred to the territory of the former Soviet Union. In some cases they were moved to Russia through rail transfer points in China, the tape asserts.
"Certainly we understand that these operations were never meant to see the light of day," the film says.
The Russian government has repeatedly denied it received American POWs from Korea.
Mark Sauter, a private researcher and co-author with John Zimmerlee of "American Trophies and Washington's Cynical Attitude," an e-book about POWs to be published this month, found in government archives a U.S. intelligence report from August 1955, two years after the war, calling for a bigger intelligence effort to learn about such POW transfers.
"Continued and numerous fragmentary intelligence reports give credence to possible detention of a large number of American POWs in China, Manchuria, U.S.S.R., and North Korea," it said. It cited one "significant report" describing "a large number of U.S. POWs being shipped into U.S.S.R. by rail" from northeast China.
Accounting for the nation's war dead has been a politically charged issue for decades. The debate is not about the practicality of the mission, which some might question, but how it should be pursued.
Sometimes overlooked amid the squabbling is the emotional toll on the families of the missing. They are often bewildered by the bureaucracy and left to watch hope wear away with the passage of time.
In 1975, more than two decades after Pfc. Kenneth F. Reese was declared missing in Korea, his widow, Chris Tench, who had by then remarried, described her feelings in her local newspaper, the Gastonia (N.C) Gazette.
She wrote that initially she was relieved to realize that the policeman who delivered the news about Reese on Dec. 18, 1950, was saying that her husband was missing, not dead. He might turn up alive, she recalled thinking.
Later she thought differently.
"No, missing isn't dead," she wrote. "It's worse than dead."

We know we have convinced you of the reason you should consider B&B in your search for an aftermarket exhaust system and now let us convince you that you will benefit from this aftermarket enhancement. There are several reasons for adding an aftermarket performance exhaust system to your car, improved exhaust flow that allows the fuel and air to exit your car's combustion chamber quickly resulting in creating more power. And there are the most noticeable to the senses; you guessed it, it is the improvement that this change makes in the overall quality of sound when you accelerate and the sensational look of those new stainless steel pipes.
BULLET Exhaust – Aggressive Sound
Billy Boat Exhaust has created a deep, healthy exhaust note at low RPMs with an assertive muscle car roar on acceleration. Not for the weak at heart, the Bullet has quickly become the industry standard for a deep, aggressive muscle car sound on the C6. You can see up to 18 rear wheel horse power and 17 foot pounds of torque from the Bullet. Billy Boat Exhaust's boldest tip style and configuration insures your Corvette will scream "muscle car".
PRT Exhaust – Aggressive Sound at Wide-Open-Throttle, Mild sound at cruise
The Billy Boat Exhaust PRT exhaust system is the latest in resonance control technology from BBE. Completely redesigned and reengineered for the C6, the system is simple in design, though more complex in theory. You can now have a mellow NO-DRONE sound at cruising speeds and a sport note when you're tearing up the streets. It allows true straight through exhaust passage under aggressive driving conditions, though a mellow sound is emitted at cruising speeds thanks to the unique Purge Chamber. Designed especially for the automatic, paddle shift and cars with headers, this Billy Boat Exhaust PRT system works purely on physics and adrenaline. Increases of 15 hp and 14 ft lbs over stock.
FUSION Exhaust – NPP Controlled Bi-Modal…Aggressive when Open, Mild when Closed
Billy Boat Exhaust has designed a Fusion NO-DRONE exhaust for the factory NPP and the non-NPP option equipped cars such as the Corvette, Camaro, and CTS-V. On most cars with the Dual-Mode NPP option, the butterfly valve in the exhaust is controlled by the ECU. The valve opens based on RPM and throttle position. Our expertise here at BBE is getting the "tone" right for your car, and we think we nailed this one. Even in the closed position, the tone is deeper, louder, and more aggressive. Open the valves, the overall volume and tone increases to the point heads will turn when you drive up.
*Add our FCOR-0468 conversion kit for Corvette models without factory NPP controls. The kits comes complete with all the wiring, remote switch, vacuum line, vacuum accumulator, and vacuum switch needed for installation. Can only be ordered with Fusion Exhaust Systems.

Goodbye to a good soul....
What was extraordinary about this particular 'Besana' was the turnout. He was not a 'somebody' , not a celeb.... not even a celeb son. He was just a very loveable, very troubled young man who touched people's hearts with his simplicity and guilessness. A pure soul. An innocent human being . A person without a trace of malice. People adored him. People forgave him . Even when he drove them mad with his unpredictable behaviour.
I watched his mother dealing with the endless stream of mourners who had thronged to the venue to pay their last respects.... the hall was overflowing ( I had to stand outside, along with fifty others ), and his closest friends who'd been watching the IPL matches with him a few hours before he decided to end it all, were reading out tributes in choked voices, tears streaming down their faces, their complete puzzlement evident to everyone( why did he have to do it?). The framed picture said a lot - he was smiling happily in it, as if teasing fate. His older brother kept shaking his head in disbelief, wondering whether they had failed him in some way.
No they hadn't.
They had loved him in the only way they knew. And that was enough.
But try telling that to a devastated mother who could only recall their last conversation and ask herself why she hadn't sensed something terrible was about to happen...
I held her closely for a long, long time. And let her cry.
And when I left the venue..... I knew she would heal. Because that is what traditional 'Besanas' are for. Grieving and healing.Unlike 'Wakes' in the West, which are silent and solemn affairs, here in India, it is okay to cry openly, to express the grief you are feeling in your heart, to hug strangers and seek comfort, to converse compulsively about the person who has died, even to laugh at some of the memories. Emotions are there to be expressed, not suppressed. Sorrow is there to be shared , not buried. And the memory of the person is meant to remain as fresh as the flower garlands adorning the portrait of the deceased, as fragrant as the incense burning slowly through the long proceedings.
I looked at the beautifully turned out Gujarati ladies in crisp organdie sarees, their delicate ear lobes curling slightly with the weight of flawless solitaires. I looked again at the shell -shocked mother who had tragically lost her most precious, most priceless jewel.
Farewell darling 'N'. We will always love and miss you...
It is going to be a long and lonely night....

Hi Shobhaa,
A beautiful and sensitive post!
What a post!! You are such a wonderful writer!!!
I recently lost a dear friend. He too was young. I am sure it was not his time.
His wife is an extremely brave lady. The family went in for organ donation. Me sitting very far from them am very sad at the loss. But in some corner of my heart I know my friend still lives on. He has been an angel to many who would have otherwise suffered.
Thanks for sharing this post. - April 2, 2010 at 5:15 AM

mz de, what can one say? i leave it to john donne:
Death be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not soe,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill mee.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee,
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell,
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
And better then thy stroake; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die."
hope it gives you peace.

The impact of the post was so strong that I could feel myself to be there...as if I was a part of 'besana' ...as if his mother hugged me and cried...as if I heard all choked voices...I could feel the pain of the mother and the brother wondering why they were not able to see this coming...as if I watched IPL matches with N....and at the end of it while writing this comment I could feel the vision getting blurred but I have to stop the emotions here...office is not the right place to cry...or may be it doesn't matter...
May he soon come back in their lives in a different avtar...he must really be special...May God take good care of him in The Better World...

I am glad that people in my country are getting aware of bipolar disorder because this has happened with me too..I lost my brother because of this disease who was an extra ordinary person since birth...till his 24th year of his life he took care of his bopolar mother and didnt know that this disease will be a gift for him too....
Life of a biopolar is worse then a mentally disease person as he is neither normal nor abnomal..
Besana may help but losing loved one that too this young is a pain of life time which i guess will go after i leave planet earth...
Your post brought back my brother memory and it seem as if you wrote about him only.. - April 2, 2010 at 12:10 PM

i pray that 'N' soul rest in peace and may he come in the lives of his loved ones in some other form and bring lots of happines and joy.
I reminds me of 25 tenets for happiness ( which you had written for THe Week for the year 2008 but i felt they were good for life so i wrote them in my diary and read them whenever i feel like and i feel very good )one of the point was to never control beautiful acts like crying, hugging, laughing and kissing and one should exhibit emotions . I completely agree with you when we express emotions we actually let go.... whether its pain,happiness or any other feeling it makes us feel light and healed. - April 2, 2010 at 4:46 PM

ive heard that even long time after death, reminscing the happy moments and sharing with the family members do give them a relief, but normally people dont do it, in india we express because our relations are more deep and valued compared to west...uv really given us the pic thanks

May his soul rest in his peace. I am sorry for being cynical but isn't it the society that is responsible for the disorder in the first place. Sociologists say society forces an individual to commit suicide.

You write this beautiful eulogy with your grip on the pen softened; your eyes tender and your heart open to soothe a child's hurt.
Today, as a mother I experience grief and loss differently from when I felt that I was just a singular, independant entity adrift in the world. Loss is now somehow more cutting and yet more bareable at the same time.
My prayers are with everyone that this young man left behind. - April 3, 2010 at 8:58 PM

this article proves the hollowness of Ms De's character.Does the fact that the hall was overflowing make this any less(or more) or a tragedy?Does the fact that there were Gujrati girls dressed in wonderful sarees make this less traumatic for the mother?
This just goes to proves that De is a hopelessly outdated person proving that money cannot buy class.It was a funeral,not a marriage party! - April 6, 2010 at 8:07 AM

I know this might not be the right moment to make this comment.But on a side note...i have bipolar disorder too. With some couselling and help it can be cured. Thank god i am in the United States or else it might have been too hard for me. For year my parents thought i am a lazy and a sloppy girl who is unambitious.
the problem in India is that firstly most people are unware of these things and the ones that are make this very dramatic. For someone suffering from bipolar the best way to beat it would be keeping busy and maintaining a very strict routine. I tried this and refused to take any medication, i work out too..which helps immensely.
Suicides from bipolar would be unheard of in the west...it is a well known disease with the right treatment available.
In those days when people did not know what bipolar was, they were given all kinds of wrong treatments.
Yes we do support people for grieving....but why are there no counsellors in schools and colleges..why not provide support services for the living...trust me us Indians need that the most. I know a few people who will benefit from it. - May 28, 2010 at 9:10 AM

I was not there when they needed me but by reading what you have penned , it makes me feel like I was right there with 'N's mother hugging her, crying with her and not stopping her either.... Telling his brother that he did everything that he could to make N' s life better.....
Thank you shobha Aunty for helping me ease my pain again and again ... Year by year... - August 6, 2014 at 11:21 PM

Although this type of trade show exhibit is usually costlier than others, it also offers the greatest potential to stand out, get noticed, and bring in more footfall. If your company is an active trade show marketer and participates in a number of events every year, then fully customized exhibits are worth every buck and can actually be more impactful, more cost-effective than generic booth rentals.
Prefabricated Booth Kits
Prefabricated trade show kits are the simplest option for trade show exhibits. They're pre-built booth systems that are ready for installation and they're the most economical way to go. Prefab kits come with a specific set of booth elements that you can assemble and set up at the event.
Focus Signs & Graphics offers a number of prefab trade show booth packages to choose from for your ideal booth size. We can quickly get those over to you so you can start prepping for your event.
Compared to fully custom-made trade show exhibits, prefab kits by Focus Signs & Graphics may not give you as much flexibility, uniqueness, and variety when it comes to setting up your booth, but with the right design and great layout, they are still pretty effective when it comes to trade show marketing. And in the long run, they're still more cost-effective than renting out a booth.
Modular Trade Show Displays
Modular trade show booths are an awesome mix of the first two types. They are trade show exhibit systems made of various prefabricated elements but, because these elements are interchangeable, they also have a degree of the flexibility and uniqueness that fully customized booths offer.
Modular exhibits by Focus Signs & Graphics allow you to create many designs with all sorts of textures, which allows you to set your booth up in a way that conveys your brand message clearly and cohesively. We also make it easier for you to literally set up your booth because we source durable but lightweight materials that can easily be assembled by your staff. And if you have issues with setup, we at Focus Signs & Graphics are here to help you out.
Full-Service Sign Company
Focus Signs & Graphics has been a trusted local provider of trade show booths for a long time now, so we know how important it is for business owners get the exhibit that they need and want. And this is exactly what we're all about. So before we do anything, we first make sure that we know what your business is about, what your objectives are, what your expectations are, what your timeline is, and how much you are willing to spend for your trade show exhibit.
If you already have ready-to-print designs in hand, our wide format digital printers can bring them life. And if you don't, don't worry, our in-house graphic artists can help you out. In fact, our entire team of project managers, sign specialists, engineers, and graphic designers are ready to help each client out from start to finish.

A Federal Reserve study showing that Americans lost wealth in the Great Recession turned up another, perhaps more surprising, result: Credit card debt fell sharply.
"The percentage of families using credit cards for borrowing dropped over the period; the median balance on their accounts fell 16.1 percent" between 2007 and 2010, the report concluded.
The data appeared Monday in the Survey of Consumer Finances, a widely followed source of information about the financial condition of American families.
The Fed study turned up two particularly dismal measures of financial health:
1) Median family income fell 7.7 percent, to $45,800 in 2010 from $49,600 in 2007.
2) Median family net worth fell 38.8 percent, to $77,300 in 2010 from $126,400 in 2007.
So if income and net worth were tumbling, wouldn't people have been borrowing more to put food on the table and shoes on the kids?
To the contrary, "the decreased prevalence of credit card debt outstanding was widespread and noticeable across most of the demographic groups," the Fed study found.
Translating from Fed-speak to English, that means just about everyone owed less on their credit cards.
Back in 2007, 46.1 percent of families had credit card debt, with a median balance of $3,100. In 2010, after the Great Recession had flattened families' finances, only 39.4 percent had credit card balances, with a median balance of $2,600.
While it's encouraging to see families carrying less debt, economists say the improvements don't reflect good news, such as a surge of income for paying off bills. Rather, the decline shows lots of people filed for bankruptcy to clear out their old debts.
"People took on too much debt," says Nigel Gault, chief U.S. economist for IHS Global Insight. Then when they lost jobs in the recession, many of them headed to bankruptcy court. "They defaulted and the debt just got wiped out," he says.
Seeing all of those bankruptcy filings, lenders became much less willing to dish out credit cards. "Lenders are being much more careful now," Gault says.
And so are consumers. So many people lost their jobs in the recession — or saw family members and neighbors lose paychecks — that they have become less willing to run up their credit cards, he said. "Everyone has become less willing to take on debt," Gault says.
There's a hint of a silver lining. Now that credit card debt has been reduced, many consumers may be in better shape to bounce back in coming years. Wiping out old debts "was just something that had to be done before we could move forward," Gault says.

alpha tocopherol, alpha-tocopherol, tocotrienol, 5,7,8 trimethyl-tocotrienol
Vitamin E is a series of fat-soluble compounds called tocopherols. Fat-soluble means it can dissolve in fats and oils. Alpha-tocopherol is the most potent and widely used form of vitamin E. Tocopherols are found in the oily residue of plants. They're also found in plants and have vitamin E-like effects.
Vitamin E is a major antioxidant in the body. It works with selenium to help prevent the breakdown of certain enzymes that are vital to the body's metabolism. Vitamin E is found in all cell membranes of the body. It protects them from oxidative damage.
Vitamin E has been used to treat respiratory distress syndrome in preterm babies. Vitamin E prevents disease of the retina (retrolental fibroplasia) in preterm babies on oxygen. Vitamin E is a potent antioxidant in the human body. It helps the immune system fight infections. It widens blood vessels. This helps to keep clots from forming in them.
There may be benefits that have not yet been proven through research.
Vitamin E may protect the body from environmental hazards. Most research shows that vitamin E doesn't help prevent cancer. And it may be harmful in some cases. Vitamin E supplements and other antioxidants might change the effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. People having these treatments should talk with their healthcare provider or oncologist before taking vitamin E or other supplements.
The results of research are not certain on if vitamin E alone, or with other antioxidants, can help prevent age-related macular degeneration. A supplement with large doses of vitamin E plus other antioxidants, zinc, and copper showed good results for slowing down the rate of vision loss. Vitamin E may help:
Treat cystic fibrosis
Treat breast disease
Treat leg muscle pains
Improve wound healing
Prevent heart disease
Improve sexual function
Athletic performance
Scar healing
Prevent Alzheimer's disease
Vitamin E is measured in both International Units (IU) and milligrams (mg). RDA is the Recommended Dietary Allowance.

Vitamin E is a thick, yellowish oil. It's sold as a soft oral capsule. It comes in strengths from 100–1,000 IU. It also comes as a chewable tablet and an oral solution. The strength of the oral solution is 50 mg/ml. Vitamin E oil is also available.
You should swallow vitamin E capsules whole. Don't chew them. It is best absorbed when eaten with some fat.

Vitamin E is stable at room temperature. It doesn't need to be refrigerated. It isn't destroyed by cooking. It stays active in foods that have been frozen.
Vitamin E is also stable in light and in acid and alkali.
You may need more vitamin E if you have any of these:
A malabsorption syndrome with steatorrhea (excess fat in the stool)
Lactose intolerance
Tropical and nontropical sprue
Celiac disease
Cystic fibrosis
Cholestatic liver disease
Ulcerative colitis
Surgery to remove all or part of the pancreas (pancreatectomy)
You may also need more vitamin E if you:
Are over age 55
You drink moderate to heavy amounts of alcohol
Have chronic alcoholism
Have a liver disease, such as cirrhosis
Vitamin E deficiency can cause nerve and muscle damage. This causes:
Loss of feeling in the arms and legs
Loss of body movement control
Muscle weakness
Vision problems
It can also weaken the immune system. It may cause an increased risk for hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), cancer, and cataracts.
People who are pregnant or breastfeeding may need to take supplements. But talk to your healthcare provider before doing so.
Symptoms of vitamin E deficiency in newborn babies include:
Hemolytic anemia
Disease of the retina (retinopathy)
Vitamin E is a relatively safe vitamin. Vitamin E is fat soluble and can build up in the tissues of the body. But this is rare. Symptoms of too much vitamin E include:
Blurred vision
Vitamin E can increase the effects of oral blood-thinning medicines (anticoagulants). This may cause an increased clotting time and bleeding. Bleeding is the greatest risk from vitamin E toxicity.
Large doses of vitamin E can decrease your body's vitamin A reserves.

FSFE and the antitrust case against Microsoft
Working with the Samba developers, FSFE's role was to ensure that Free Software developers would not be prevented from using information published as a result of the European Commission's antitrust case against Microsoft. See also: Background details, Timeline of the case.
Representation of developer's interest
FSFE played two key roles in this case. First, we represented the interests of Free Software developers. E.g. in our official role as Intervener, we pushed the European Commission to reject any royalty requirements that would be incompatible with Free Software. We also argued constantly for the publication of good quality technical documentation and against lock-out of Free Software based on arbitrary manipulations of formats and standards.
Second, FSFE was a public interest organisation who couldn't be bought off. The case began with many companies giving testimony of Microsoft's breaches of antitrust regulation, but one-by-one these companies made deals with Microsoft and withdrew from the case. FSFE and SIIA were the only two organisations that pursued this case from start to finish. We were later joined by ECIS, who did extraordinary work, but there were moments when it got lonely for the Commission.
Getting interoperability information
At the heart of this case was that the European Commission would require Microsoft to publish interoperability information. Comparable to dictionaries and grammar books for human languages, this type of information is necessary for non-Microsoft software, such as Samba running on GNU/Linux, to communicate and function fully within existing client-server Microsoft networks.
Previously, the Samba developers had to figure this information out by protocol analysis only. This information that Microsoft had was not secret because it was valuable. It was valuable only because it was secret.
Investigation case won every ruling
Thanks also to the persistent work by Carlo Piana, Andrew Tridgell, Jeremy Allison, Volker Lendecke, Georg Greve and other people acting on FSFE and Samba's behalf, the investigation case won every ruling - From the European Commission in Brussels to the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg.
Interoperable applications now possible
Information has now been published and is being used by the developers of Samba and many other projects to improve network interoperability for Free Software applications. This facilitates migration to Free Software. The court rulings have also set important precedents regarding unacceptable business practices.
