Should I mention my miscarriages when people ask if this is my first baby?
After two miscarriages, my husband and I are expecting a little girl in June. With the due date drawing near, my tummy is really starting to grow. Many people ask if this is our first baby, and we usually say 'yes,' but I feel guilty not mentioning the other two babies we've lost. Is it inappropriate or should I mention them?

They are asking about babies. You shouldn't elaborate on pregnancies. If someone asked you if you have any other children would you say yes, but they are dead?posted 10/25/2007 by violets dad
I miscarried my first baby in January 2006. After five rounds of Clomid, I am now FINALLY pregnant (10 weeks) with Baby #2. I think it's completely up to you whether or not you want to reveal your previous miscarriages. I think it depends entirely upon the situation. Personally, I wouldn't want to make an acquaintance who is attempting polite conversation to feel uncomfortable about asking me the question.posted 10/24/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
My fiancee just had a miscarrage and it was caused by preeclamsia. Its the first child that she has lost, but her second child. Anna 4 now.It wasn't truely going well from the start. She was stressed out alot and she would always have the really sharp pains that would leave her crying in my arms. Then the doctors told her that if she contunied with the pregnancy that she would have a slim chance of making it. The night she told me that she alos told me that she was haap with the life that she has lived so far and that she would never have an abortion. So we cont. with the pregnancy, the less she was stressed the more the percentage went down. Then 4 days before my 17th birthday she called me in the middle of the night and told me that she was in the hospital. She has lost our son. Gavin Christopher was his name that we choose. Now it has been 5 days and i still cant stop thinking about him. I dont think I will ever forget him.posted 10/23/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I think that it all depends on who you talk to. I had a miscarriage at 16 weeks with my first pregnancy. I then had another one at 7 weeks after the birth of my daughter. We are expecting again and so far so good. I usually mention the 2 miscarriages to people who I think would really care to know, but to strangers I mention that we only have 1 child. On my christmas tree there is an ornament for each child since it is a tradition in my family that everyone gets a new ornament each year. Well 2 of my children will only have one they still have since they are a part of my family. I am so have a pregnancy journal for each pregancy and all the cards that say congrats and condolence for each one. I want my other children to realize that they do have other sibilings. Also my husband gave my a mother/baby stuff animal with each pregnancy and they are on my bed. My children will learn who each animal is for.posted 10/23/2007 by email@example.com
I think if it is something you don't want to always explain i would just say that this will be your 2nd child. I think it is up to you. How comfortbale you are are not talking about it. I could imagine it would be hard to talk about.posted 10/02/2007 by hollyconway22
I'm 2 months pregnant now & I have never experienced the heartbreak of losing a baby. I have been in nursing school for a year now and we have recently done our OB unit and have learned about the hardships a mother goes through though there is no way to EVER understand completely unless you have gone through it. I do know which i'm sure you do as well) that health care professionals need to know. But I think it's a personal choice. Only you can decide if you want to tell people... It might be helpful for you to talk to some people (such as close relatives or friends) but I know it is completely understandable to not mention the ones you have lost to random strangers who ask. But again, I think that it is your choice and no matter what, going through something like this has to be life changing. I wish you the best of luck with your baby!posted 09/28/2007 by IrishGirl0608
I have two beautiful little girls and was recently pregnant with our third, I miscarried at about 12 weeks. It was terribly hard but I was lucky with the support I had. I was amazed at how often the subject came up after that, people would constantly ask me if we wanted to have more, I could only say yes, we just lost one. I've been fortunate that I haven't had any rude comments, (something I was really scared about), but I just couldn't ignore the pregnancy. I'm pregnant again, but definitely not telling very many people, just very close family and friends. I've been lucky to get support from other people in this, its made me stronger, but you have to do what feels right to you. If you want to mention past miscarriages, then do so, and if you get a weird reaction, that just shows the person's ignorance and nothing wrong with you! I really enjoyed the answers here, we really have some strong women in this world! :)posted 09/28/2007 by Melinda988
I have four living childern, and one baby girl that passed in August 2007. When I found out that she had passed,we're going to find out the sex. I was 20 weeks when I lost her. This was the first one I had really lost. I had four wounderful births, then this baby I lost. I don't forget her, If they ask me I'll tell them I have five, but one is in heaven.posted 09/23/2007 by jocheyanne
I am 30 years old and when I found out that I was pregnant I was already 15 weeks so my doctor immediately sent me for an ultrasound and I found out that my baby didn't have a heartbeat and I was crushed. That was november of 05. Then in September of 2006 I found out I was pregnant again and I was doing fine then at my 23rd week I was admitted in the hospital with high blood presssure and the next week I went to the doctor and they found out the baby didn't have a heartbeat so I was admitted in the hospital and I had to deliver vaginally it was a horrible experience but with Gods blessings I am pregnant again 6 weeks(smile). So you do whatever you feel comfortable doing at that time its all up to you. You know in your heart that you love both of your children and there is no need to explain anything to anyone.posted 09/23/2007 by Chelle1113
I would say it is totally up to you. Although I've never experienced a miscarriage, I can assume sometimes it may be a little difficult for you to mention. Don't feel bad about it. Sometimes you may also put others in an awkward situation by telling them that because not everyone knows how to respond to that kind of news. Then on the other hand, you may be offering helpful information to someone who has also had a miscarriage and may be having a difficult time coping with it. That's why we're all here because sharing stories help and somtimes heal. Do what you feel is warranted in each situation.posted 09/18/2007 by 3izenuf

Fountain Hills, AZ and Rocky Point, Mexico
I'm going to AZ for a few days to meet up with a friend and then we are going to Rocky Point, Mexico over Memorial Day weekend. When I come back (on a Wednesday) I have a qualifier tournament to play in on Friday, so it'd be best if I could play some tennis while I was on my trip. Anyone know about good places to play in these areas?
Fountain Hills has a nice resort tennis facility called Copperwynd. I have never played there but I know some people who speak highly of it. What level player are you qualifier sounds like pro?
CopperWynd is "way up" there in the hills. Goober is right, it's a real nice place. We play league matches there sometimes. It is a resort, I'm not sure what the fees are to play there. You might want to call and ask.
I'm not familiar with Fountain Hills, but looking on a map it appears to be near Scottsdale. Here is a list of tennis facilities in and around Scottsdale ... might be useful.
Qualifier = Qualifying tournament for my southern sectionals (closed).
I will be about 2 minutes from Fountain Hills High School, if that's any indication of where I am, it'd about 30 minutes from Scottsdale. Thanks for all of your help!!

the nursing home, staff need to know at least some of the basic vocabulary of the residents, and it is important that someone, either volunteer or staff, be available for translation when elders speak limited English (Snyder, 1982).
Problems related to cultural and racial diversity are particularly acute in urban nursing homes, where a majority of staff may belong to minority groups, whereas the residents are predominantly white. Preliminary findings from a study of ethnic and racial conflict between nursing home staff and residents in New York revealed a high prevalence of racially charged verbal abuse and name calling of aides by residents (Teresi et al., 1994).
There is a lack of research and thus an inadequate knowledge base about the long-term health care needs of minority elders and other age groups. The research that does exist strongly suggests some disparity of service use and inequity of access for ethnic and minority populations, despite increased need (Barresi and Stull, 1993). While the general growth of the elderly population in the United States is well known, the increase in racial and ethnic elderly populations is less well recognized. Yet the elderly population is increasing faster among ethnic and racial minorities populations (Hispanics, American Indians, African Americans, Asians, and Pacific Islanders) than among whites, and the total population of ethnic and minority elderly has doubled with each national census since 1960 (Harper and Alexander, 1990). In some parts of the country, these ethnic and minority elderly will soon be the majority among the population aged 65 years and older (Cuellar, 1990; Morioka-Douglas and Yeo, 1990; Richardson, 1990). In 1985, approximately 14 percent of the population 65 and over were persons of color (Elders of Color, 1991). A significant increase in the population 85 years of age and older and in the number of females is also occurring, and a substantial proportion of these elderly are of racial and ethnic minorities.
Despite having poorer health and less help from relatives than comparison groups of white elders, black elders are less likely to be institutionalized. At comparable rates of frailty, the likelihood of nursing home admission for blacks is less than half that of whites (Belgrave and Bradsher, 1994). Poverty, geographical isolation, and discrimination are now given more weight in this pattern than the previous characterization of personal preference.
Although the Indian Health Service (IHS) has a statutory responsibility to meet the health needs of American Indians, it tends to define its mission in terms of acute care. As a result, the rapidly increasing long-term-care needs of the growing numbers of aging tribal members are largely ignored. John (1991) points out that an additional problem confronting tribal elders is a policy of age discrimination in resource allocation within the IHS. Specifically, he notes that the IHS concentrates its resources on the health problems of younger tribal members through the Resource Allocation Method, which is based on a calculation of

Ah I personally wouldn't lower shaders because it's one of the settings that does the biggest difference visually and is well worth the performance hit IMO. I think the only settings I lowered was shadows and eventually in the lowest performing snowy area post processing and shaders as well. I can't see lowering physics making a big difference though, I'd leave that at enthusiast as well..

How to Access Your School of Information Email
Pine is a command prompt mail program which relies on text commands only – you can't use your mouse, and there is no graphical user interface. Pine does not display HTML code that is received in your emails, and attachments must be saved in your server space before you can open them (and accessed using a secure file transfer program). On the other hand, Pine is much faster than other email clients because there are no graphics to load. If you're using a dial-up connection, this can be a great advantage. Pine is an IMAP application, which means that messages are retained on the server, and backed up on a regular basis. Pine can be assessed through SSH Secure Shell (for PC users) or Terminal (for Mac users). After logging in with your School of Information account information, type "pine" at the prompt and press return. For more information on how to use Pine, see the Introduction to Pine tutorial. This tutorial shows you how to check email, compose and forward mail, work with folders, set up an address book, and download attachments.
Who should use Pine? Pine is an ideal email client for users with slow Internet connections, as it can be much faster than clients with graphical user interfaces. Having trouble with carpal tunnel syndrome? Commands are executed in Pine using letters on the keyboard, which can provide some welcome relief from constantly moving a mouse to enact every command. Using multiple computers to check your email? Pine stores all of your email on the server, allowing you to read it from any computer.

Severe inflammatory response syndrome, or SIRS, occurs when the body's response to an overwhelming infection becomes uncontrolled. The very immune response meant to clear the pathogen and its toxins actually causes damage to the host's own tissues when it goes into overdrive, releasing too many immune signals. Thus, the immune response must be carefully controlled to prevent damage to the host.
Damazo et al. studied this balancing act by analyzing the effects of the bacterial toxin LPS on normal and annexin 1 knockout mice. Annexin 1 was chosen because it appears to be involved in the resolution phase of the immune response: its expression on white blood cells impairs their ability to bind blood vessel walls, preventing their transit from the blood to other organs.
When normal mice were treated with LPS, the immune system induced a steady migration of white blood cells from the blood into affected tissues. However, mice deficient for annexin 1 exhibited a dramatic release of white blood cells from blood vessels, ultimately leading to 100% mortality by 48 hours.
The researchers characterized the expression of annexin 1 and found that the gene was activated as early as 1.5 and 6 hours after LPS administration, with levels returning to normal by 24 hours. Higher levels of markers of inflammation, and of organ injury, were measured in annexin 1 deficient animals. Altogether, these findings implied that the protective effects of the annexin 1 pathway were activated in the first few hours fo

Lenovo mobile sales drive profit growth
BEIJING — Lenovo Group says it is evolving quickly into a supplier of wireless computing, driven by booming sales of smartphones and tablets as consumers shift away from desktop computers.
Sales of wireless devices rose 105 percent in the three months ended June 30, driving a 23 percent rise in profit to $174 million, Lenovo announced Thursday. Total revenue rose 10 percent to $8.8 billion.
Lenovo was declared the No. 1 personal computer maker in the latest quarter by research firms Gartner and IDC. But that came as global PC shipments fell for a fifth straight quarter, highlighting the rapid consumer shift to mobile.
"We actually sold more smartphones and tablets than PCs in this quarter for the first time ever," said CFO Wong Wai Ming in a conference call with reporters.
PC shipments were flat and their share of total revenue fell to 28 percent. Laptop sales, which account for 52 percent of revenue, rose 4.7 percent. Mobile devices supplied 14 percent of revenue.
"We are impressed by Lenovo's strong execution," said Barclay's analysts in a report. "It is the only Asia PC company that is able to deliver market expectation results, facing strong headwinds from concerns about global PC and smartphone demand, as well as a slowdown of China's economy."
Lenovo, with headquarters in Beijing and in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, broke into the wireless market with the 2010 launch of its first smartphone.
It has since released more phones and Web-linked tablets to compete with Apple Inc., South Korea's Samsung Electronics Corp. and Taiwan's HTC Corp.
An update of its Thinkpad laptop released last year was designed to appeal to tablet users with features that mimic the quick startup and response times of mobile devices.
Other traditional technology leaders are also scrambling to shift emphasis to mobile products and to diversify into services as well as hardware.
Sales in China rose 5.6 percent to $3.7 billion, providing 42 percent of revenue. In the United States and the rest of the Americas, sales grew 29 percent to $1.9 billion.
Worldwide PC shipments declined 11 percent in the April-June period, according to Gartner and IDC.
In smartphones, Lenovo said it became the world's fourth-largest vendor during the quarter. Global sales rose 132 percent.
This year's sales target is 50 million smartphones and 10 million tablets, said chairman Yang Yuanqing. He said Lenovo is "very confident" it can meet that after the latest quarter.
"We are transforming our company into a 'PC Plus company' at full speed," said Yang on the conference call.

Id place the KLR higher up on the ladder for the best all around dual sport bike, over everything else out there.
Cheap, fairly simple, crappy suspension, brakes and comfort. But, they are cheap. Lots of aftermarket parts and glitter. Big tanks and the like.
My definition of dual sport any bike will need to travel on highways at highway speeds. The 400s, 250s and like are out of this group.
If I used my head instead of my heart, Id probably get the Honda XR650L. If I used my heart, Id get the Husky. I can add bigger tanks to either the Husky starts toward customizing from a little higher plane.
But, I still have to wear out my Adventure and I have no time to do that or ride any dirt for that matter. So, Ill remain confused and ill-informed.

- Judge allows lawsuit against 2 Denver social workers in Chandler Grafner's starvation death
- Sep 30:
- 48 years for child's starvation

- Berry gets 48 years in boy's starvation death
The pair of 7-year-olds died thin and frail, each while living with people granted custody to care for them.
One, Chandler Grafner, died May 6 after he was removed from the Denver apartment of his half brother's father, their home since at least January.
The other, Eryn Reyne "LoReyna" Barea, died March 9 at her aunt's house in Evans, a Weld County town of 15,000. She had lived there with her four siblings since December.
Denver prosecutors charged two people with Chandler's death just days after he died at a hospital. Weld County prosecutors haven't charged anyone, though they are expected to make a decision by this week.
Social-service caseworkers touched the children's lives at one time or another, either to assess the child-worthiness of a relative to care for them or to investigate complaints of abuse.
Yet each child reportedly withered away. It remains unclear just what caseworkers knew or tried to do.
In the end, nothing or no one saved them.
"A great percentage of children who die from abuse or neglect are known to the system," said Adoree Blair, a child advocate who heads Integrated Family Services in Denver. "They are put there by social services, and it's very concerning because there is little that can prevent it."
School reported concerns
LoReyna and Chandler may have died similar deaths, but the parallels end there.
Within days of Chandler's death, Denver prosecutors filed first-degree murder charges against Jon Phillips, 26, who had won custody of the boy in January, and his common-law wife, Sarah Berry, 21. Prosecutors accuse the couple of the "malnourishment and mistreatment" of Chandler.
Phillips is the biological father of Chandler's half brother, who has been placed in foster care. The boys' biological mother had a history of neglecting them, court and police records show.
Teachers at Holm Elementary School in Denver said they had reported bruising on Chandler's body to child-protection workers. The boy stopped attending classes in March.
It's unclear whether workers followed up to check on the boy's welfare. Social-service officials have declined to comment on Chandler's case, citing confidentiality rules and the ongoing criminal investigation.
Nevertheless, Mayor John Hickenlooper said he was confident Denver officials met their responsibilities. "We are going to explore every possible situation where something different could have been done," he said.
State and county social-service officials Friday announced they would conduct separate reviews of Chandler's death to determine whether the systems to protect the child failed.
Denver's probe will seek to answer two questions, said Roxane White, director of Denver's Department of Human Services: "Could Chandler's death have been prevented, and is there more our community can do to provide greater protection for our children?"
State law requires a review of a child's death if it occurred within five years of any contact with the social- service system.
None of girl's relatives talking
In Evans, prosecutors are still studying whether to charge anyone with LoReyna's death. The 4-foot girl was just 35 pounds when her aunt called 911 because the child was unresponsive.
Investigators paused at explanations that bruises on the child were from playing, and initial results of an autopsy were inconclusive. Additional tests were to be done on the child's organs.
The aunt, Genevieve Barea, 45, of Evans, and her boyfriend, Danny Partch, 47, were granted custody of the girl in April 2005. They received permanent custody following the death of LoReyna's biological mother, Margaret Barea, after a car accident. Gene vieve Barea is her sister.
The family refused to comment Friday, and police investigators did not return telephone messages.
Weld County coroner's investigator Chris Robillard said their report is completed and awaiting review by prosecutors.
A key difference in LoReyna's death is the absence of witnesses other than family members, Robillard said. The girl and her siblings were home- schooled and had little outside contact, he said.
"There are lots of people and many kids, but everyone is related and no one is talking," he said.
LoReyna's siblings were placed in foster care pending the outcome of the investigation.
Weld County court records show custody battles between the Barea sisters were heated and filled with allegations of sexual abuse and neglect.
Weld County human-services officials would not discuss the Barea case, citing confidentiality rules, but director Judy Griego said her office would react strongly to any wrongdoing by caseworkers.

Gonzales: NSA may tap 'ordinary' Americans' e-mailFebruary 6, 2006
The pitch from Sen. Arlen Specter on the Senate floor arrived one day after Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee gave the green light to his National Security Surveillance Act, touted as a compromise with the White House to verify the constitutionality of programs like the National Security Agency's terrorist surveillance program. The vote, which had stalled for several weeks, was 10 to 8 along party lines.
"We will be moving ahead, I hope shortly, with the bill to the floor so that we can make a determination on judicial review procedure (and) whatever wiretapping that is going on is judicially approved," Specter said during a brief floor speech.
The Pennsylvania Republican has repeatedly hailed the agreement as a strong symbol that the president does not have a "blank check" to operate programs such as the NSA snooping initiated by the Bush Administration, which critics charge has swept up the Internet and phone activities of millions of innocent Americans.
Even though the legislation does not explicitly require it, Specter maintained that he has President Bush's pledge to submit the existing NSA program for closed-door constitutional vetting. A legislative mandate for the president to take such action would be undesirable because such a move would "curtail his constitutional authority," Specter said.
Democrats and civil liberties groups continued to blast the effort.
"This bill is all about authorizing the president to invade the homes, e-mails and telephone conversations of American citizens in ways that are expressly forbidden by law," Sen. Patrick Leahy, the Vermont Democrat who serves as the committee's co-chairman, said in a statement Wednesday.
"Today, the Senate Judiciary Committee acted as a rubber stamp for the administration's abuse of power," Caroline Fredrickson, director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Washington legislative office, said in a statement.
Opponents maintained the bill (click here for Microsoft Word document) is a sham that makes it optional for the Bush administration and all future administrations to comply with the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, which generally requires a court order for eavesdropping on communications in which at least one end is located in the United States.
The measure, among other things, would insert a new provision into the FISA, stating that nothing in the law "shall be construed to limit the constitutional authority of the president to collect intelligence with respect to foreign powers and agents of foreign powers."
Critics also argued that the measure erodes Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures by allowing the FISA court to issue blanket approval for an entire surveillance program, rather than for individual, targeted wiretaps.
"That's not what we need to win the war on terror," Jim Dempsey, policy director for the Center for Democracy and Technology, said in a statement. "We should focus on the bad guys, not conduct broad sweeps into the lives of ordinary citizens."
It was not immediately clear how the Senate panel's action will affect the House of Representatives, where debate continues over separate bills designed to "modernize" FISA. It was also unclear how the Specter bill will mesh with two similar measures also cleared by the Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
In particular, civil liberties groups and Democrats say they prefer the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Improvement and Enhancement Act of 2006, co-sponsored by Specter and California Democrat Dianne Feinstein. That measure, which is designed to streamline procedures for applying for FISA court warrants but reaffirms that law's authority over domestic surveillance, passed by 10 votes to 8, with all Democrats and Republican Lindsey Graham of South Carolina voting in favor.
Specter on Thursday dismissed as "untrue" any contention that the bills are inconsistent.

- The Specter of Specter as Enabler-In-Chief
- The creation and backing of this legislation by Sen. Specter firmly places him back in the ranks of the vast majority of fellow Republicans who have shirked all responsibility in fulfilling their Constitutional responsibilities. After first speaking against the Administration's surveillance actions which appear to be illegal he now campaigns as chief enabler. Instead of acting to get to the bottom of possible abuses and criminality he offers a way to legalize it- vastly increase the power and scope of the Executive Branch and erosion of privacy rights. In addition Pres. Bush demands legislation watering down accountability for government sanctioned mistreatment and interrogation of foreign prisoners. He claims such interrogation is essential and has led to important intelligence that has prevented attacks on US targets. Meanwhile a Congressional Intelligence report just released after years of Republican obstruction reveals that unreliable intelligence extracted by dubious means was largely the basis for the now discredited claims made by the Bush Administration in it's rationalization for waging war in Iraq.
What we are sadly presented with is overwhelming evidence of an Administration that has made and continues to make profoundly poor decisions in a vast array of interrelated issues dealing with national defense and the powers of the Executive Branch. Many of the statements asserted in defense of policy decisions have now been revealed to have been made at a time with evidence to the contrary at their disposal. Also the willful ignorance and seeming inability to learn from their mistakes is deeply troubling. Their response to finding themselves in a hole has been to keep digging. Clearly Bush has no credibility left. Congress has no spine. Instead of trying to find ways to further subvert the Constitution Congress should be holding hearings on Impeachment for a vast and disgusting assortment of criminality perpetrated by this thuggish regime.

If they do... they'll be held responsible for reniging on privacy.
Bottom Line: If terrorism wins... we won't have any privacy what so ever.
Don't ask them to fight a war with no bullets in their guns.
We lost Vietnam because of this same bi-partisian BS!!!
Don't make the same mistake again!!!
Hackers and evil do'ers already have access to the same information which we're trying to prevent our government from getting.
We need something to even the odds out... this is the evener... thus don't remove it!!!
BOTTOM LINE: If one wants privacy... DON'T browse the internet... because privacy IS NOT GUARANTEEED!!!

As a starting point check the TCP/IP connections - you do not say which operating system you are using. You need to right click on your connection and go to properties - there you should make sure that IP address is obtained automatically - for Windows 7 see this article.. For XP and Vista see this article
I would make sure that only the ipV4 is checked.

Assume you checked the ipv4?
Next thing to check is that you have an up to date network adaptor driver on your laptop. Go to Device Manager and right-click on your network adaptor where you will be given the option to update.
If no joy with this you could try a cmd prompt - open cmd and then type in ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
press enter after each command.
If still no joy
It may be necessary to re-set the TCP/IP stack:-
Click on Start button.
Type Cmd in the Start Search text box.
Type netsh int ip reset in the Command Prompt shell, and then press the Enter key.
Restart the computer.

We all want to leave a legacy that will live on without us. For those of us who are dyed-in-the-wool entrepreneurs, the focus (and our joy) is on creating a valuable business. Of course, it would be a shallow viewpoint indeed to define anyone's business (or even worse, their life) only by the amount of money they have piled up. Even so, achieving financial freedom brings exactly that: the freedom to live the rest of your life exactly the way you choose.
Sadly, when retirement looms, many carpet cleaners discover that, while they have always made a good living, their business is not really a saleable entity. In my last two columns I shared six steps to create a "constantly appreciating asset" out of your company:
- Determine the current value of your company using an Initial Business Valuation form.
- Steadily increase your net profits by a) cutting your overhead, b) getting more efficient, or c) raising your prices. Better still, do all three.
- Recruit/develop/keep really good employees.
- Build a business infrastructure that will make your employees' jobs easy.
- Create a "beautiful" business that will help your buyer "fall in love."
- Develop a timeline for when you want to sell your business.
Gingerly Start the Networking ProcessMarketing any small service business is a delicate and, at first glance, contradictory process. On one hand, you want to throw your net as wide as possible to attract the greatest quantity of qualified prospective buyers.
However, remember that, once customers and employees hear your company is up for sale, they will be tempted to desert in droves. So your goal is to maintain confidentiality as long as possible in the sales process, and a third-party broker will help in this.
For selling a cleaning business of any size, I strongly recommend the services of a local business broker. These experts know local market conditions and who might be out searching for a profitable small company your area. And as I explained last month, it is extremely unlikely you will sell your business to another carpet cleaner.
Note: There are a lot of unethical, fly-by-night business brokers out there on the Internet that prey on downtrodden business owners desperate to unload their company. So just like any other big transaction, insist on local references that you personally verify.
The key word here is "local." Few carpet-cleaning operations are going to be big enough to justify national exposure (one exception to this might be if you live in a very desirable area that would appeal to a down-sized corporate executive looking to "semi-retire."). Almost always, you will sell to someone who is already established in your area.
A broker will also be able to more accurately value your company than you can. Even better, a local broker will be a third party that can keep things on track and mediate through the often emotional sales/negotiation process. However, you must also bait the hook and…
Develop a Sales PackagePeople have a hard time buying any service because it is "intangible." In other words, they cannot pre-experience a service by seeing/tasting/smelling/testing it before the purchase.
Guess what? As a carpet cleaner, you will be selling a service business, and much of the value of your company is based on the intangible services you perform. So any way in which you can make your company "more real" to a prospective buyer will help close the deal.
Do this by preparing a sales manual profiling your company. My sales manual was a three-ring binder almost four inches thick. It contained photos of our people, trucks, office and sample accounts, along with our fast-track training outlines and employee handbook, sample advertising, customer testimonials, accounting procedures and financial reports, and the certified valuation appraisal of my company.
Usually, you and your local broker will market your business with a five-step process that pre-qualifies a business prospect at each stage:
- General marketing – Your broker puts the word out that there is a local service business for sale with a long record of increasing profits and a very loyal client base; neither the specific industry nor the business name is mentioned in the very general profile. He or she will pre-screen the prospective purchaser and, if there is serious interest, they will move to a…
- Business profile – This is a "business at a glance" outline that maintains your anonymity but shares your general business type/size and financial volume, net profits, owner's adjusted cash flow along with industry averages. If the prospective purchaser is still interested, the broker will move them to the…
- In-depth sales manual, business analysis and appraisal – Before your broker reveals this confidential document, they will request a personal and business credit report on your prospective buyer and also require them to sign a legally binding confidentiality agreement. Your broker will decide if the buyer has the financial clout and skills to buy and run your company. If the decision is yes, your broker will meet with the prospect and review your financials in-depth. At this point, the buyer will likely bring his or her financial and legal advisers into the picture. Once everyone has signed off on the basics, you proceed to the…
- Courtship – The "getting to know each other" phase. Buying a small service business is more of an emotional, lifestyle-related decision than a financial one. Your prospect must feel good about the momentous step of "buying your life" and it is your job to make him or her feel good about it! (A note of caution: with all these good feelings ricocheting around it is easy to "gloss over" any problems or issues facing your company. Don't do it. Failing to disclose things will come back to bite you later, big time!). Even at this late date, it is still possible to maintain confidentiality. For example, when I gave my prospective buyer the grand tour of our company at work I simply introduced him as "a friend of mine from California," and, by that time, he was. Except for a few managers, we kept the business sale seamless and secret right up 'till I informed my employees on the afternoon we closed the sale.
- Final negotiations – Exactly as it sounds. Just like purchasing a house, the buyer puts down a deposit in certified funds contingent upon specific conditions being met. A good business broker will shepherd the process along, serving as a mediator between all parties concerned. If both sides want the sale to happen, it will. And once everyone is in agreement, there is one more step in the process…
You have worked hard, you have played hard and now you are going to clean up big time, because you have built a "constantly appreciating asset" out of your carpet cleaning business!

Don't Forget to Play!
Play has earned some inaccurate baggage of connotations over the years. When we talk about playing in education or play time, many would push back that it is not appropriate to play in classroom, or that play is not good learning. This could not be farther from the truth. I think Fred Rogers put it best:
Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.
Remember when you were a kid and were always playing? You often made mistakes, but those mistakes never got in the way of you trying again, trying something new, and ultimately coming to a place of success. Wouldn't it be great if we got just a little more of that into the classroom?
Why Play?
Play does so many positive things for us in terms of learning. When we play:
- We build skills like confidence
- We strengthen relations with others
- We develop creative skills
- We problem solve and tinker
- We learn to be flexible
People who play learn to question something, predict an outcome, and evaluate their predictions through the process of play. When we play, we persist through challenges -- and we even enjoy it. Play builds excellent social and emotional skills and helps create a culture where those skills are valued at school. Probably one of the most important aspects of play is the way it treats failure and mistakes as non-punitive, ensuring that we have opportunities to learn from whatever went wrong. Yes, play makes failure fun. I love the use of the word "tinker" to describe play. It's serious work, but it's also fun work. Play values the process of learning as well and the product.
Elements of Play
The Strong, an organization devoted to the study and exploration of play, has broken down the elements of play. They use this great equation:
Play = Anticipation + Surprise + Pleasure + Understanding + Strength + Poise
Their Elements of Play graphic breaks down this equation in emotions. For example, anticipation is associated with interest, readiness and ultimately wonderment. Understanding is associated with empathy, skill and ultimately mastery. When I look at these emotions and descriptors, I get excited about creating them in my classroom. I want to work in a room where we create things like joy, ingenuity, awakening and even balance. I'd love to foster these elements of play by actually creating time to play.
Ideas for You
The Museum of Play is just one organization that champions the cause for play. They offer many resources including studies, activities and also great quotes about play. In addition, as you play with students, you can teach and assess creativity. As articulated in an earlier blog on creativity, it is important to break down what creativity means for students, encourage play, and set creativity goals as they play over and over again. You can develop Makerspaces in your schools and communities to foster tinkering and play in all kinds of contexts. Use game-based learning as a model, and create either "gamified" units or use games as part of the instruction. There are so many possibilities for embedding play in your everyday instruction. From these possibilities you can help reframe failure. It can be become not only non-punitive, but also a learning opportunity. More importantly, the forgiving context of play can make failure fun!
As you head back to school, don't forget to carve time out for playing with kids. Let's honor the reality that all of our students are kids, and because of that they need time to play. Although play may look different from 1st grade to 12th grade, all kids want to play, and we can use play to motivate students toward being creative, toward collaborating and tinkering in our classrooms, toward creating high-quality work and assessments. Also, don't forget to play as an educator -- you need it, too! Like I say to my fellow educators and students, "Let's have some fun and fail forward!"

"Listen, Lewis," I said, "to ____ with it. Let's go back and play golf."
--Deliverance, by James Dickey
The ancient history of Georgia was scrutinized today in first person. I played in the school's annual golf tournament fund raiser with some particular Georgians: my father, my Uncle Jinks, and my Great Uncle Modean whose combined ages are a real big number.
We played at a real fancy private golf club and I'm pleased to report my ancestors were not wearing coach's shorts and wife beaters. They looked real nice, but every golf garment they were wearing had at least ninety-two logos on it representing some golf company or golf product or golf tournament or golf charity event or national golf association. Then there were the mustard stains and ear hair scenarios.
After eating chicken biscuits with extra mustard, we went over to the practice putting green where there was a putting contest. It made sense that the woman running the putting contest is also the lady up the hill in the school's main office who also tests students and prospective students. She's what's called a psychometrist. She was standing there with a clipboard. I asked her if this is where you come to embarrass yourself.
I bumped into the school's athletic director. He was playing in the golf tournament, too. I said a bad day on the golf course is better than a good day at work. He laughed real loud.
I told him that wasn't original material, and he said it doesn't matter because it's true. The school's headmaster was standing right behind him.
On one hole, Great Uncle Modean hit a tee shot where he swung very furiously and imparted a tremendous amount of the undesirable kind of spin on the ball, and the ball, after being struck in this manner, instantly dug a small ditch in the tee box and then the ball bounded down the front of the tee box and into some tall wet grass. After this undesireable result, Great Uncle Modean said he wasn't going to be any good for the rest of the day. Then he thumped toward his golf cart and I believe he said a cuss word. He didn't even pick up his tee and he's usually real Irish. This was just the seventh hole we played. There were eleven more holes to go. Golf sure is a game that examines your emotions.
On another hole, Uncle Jinks putted his golf ball and it didn't travel near the cup one bit.
Great Uncle Modean asked Uncle Jinks if he had shoved it.
Uncle Jinks said he shoved it.
These are the conversations of men who golf with each other have with each other. If any women wonder what men who golf with each other do for eight hours on the golf course then this is pretty much it.
On another hole, Great Uncle Modean finally hit a nice shot, which seemed to uplift him. He handed out cigars.
On another hole, Uncle Jinks swung his club in such a way where he ended up hitting his ball in another such way where he said a moment later that he might really have a mental problem when it comes to hitting delicate flop shots.
I was standing there watching and I told Uncle Jinks that after watching the situation unfold that I firmly believed he did indeed have a mental problem when it comes to hitting delicate flop shots, and that the successful hitting of delicate flop shots, by the way, could be achieved by practicing the shot in your free time at the two nice country clubs you belong to in your retirement.
Uncle Jinks said he practiced flop shots all the time.
That was another type of conversation men who golf with each other have with each other.
On another hole, we rode up to a tee box and had to wait on the group in front of us to tee off. I was sitting in my golf cart behind my father and Great Uncle Modean. I heard Great Uncle Modean ask my father, loudly, because my father is a bit hard of hearing ... HOW'S YER MEM-REE DOIN?
Well, welcome to the modern times of old men. I walked up there and inserted myself into their conversation and found out that Great Uncle Modean said he was talking about computers. The other day he had to put his in the repair shop, he said, and he gets worried about other people's computers now in his old age.
On the last hole, it started to rain so we putted our golf balls fairly near the cup real quick and went inside the fancy clubhouse and grabbed some food off of a buffet and sat down and talked to each other with food in our mouths.

Great post - I especially love the illustration!
I appreciate the use of game-based learning in my kids schools. My 5th grader is a visual learner. It seems that the incorporation of games and technology is the winning combination for her success in school. She struggles in math and I can't explain how essential computer generated games and board games are to her education.
I am hoping that our school district in the future is able to incorporate laptops or ipads daily.

As the mercury keeps moving up in the wake of rising temperature, poll fever is also soaring northward in Tamil Nadu which will witness a fierce fight for the 39 Lok Sabha seats between ruling AIADMK and DMK, even as a six-party BJP-led alliance is trying to play spoilsport.
The state which faces voting on April 24 has witnessed a new combination of political parties grouping together, particularly that of the one led by the saffron party and some allies witnessing isolation.
While DMK ditched Congress, AIADMK dumped the two Left parties and BJP managed to form a rainbow alliance with six parties.
After a hiatus of almost two decades, Congress has been pushed to the wall in Tamil Nadu, where it faces the compulsion of going it alone in the elections without the backing of allies, after M Karunanidhi-headed DMK dumped it.
Incensed over the attitude of Congress-led UPA governemnt which haunted some front-ranking DMK leaders on the 2G scam despite the party being an ally, Karunanidhi shut the doors on the Congress by spurning its offers to renew ties.
DMK feels that UPA-II captained by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had let it down on various matters, including on protecting fishermen and Sri Lankan Tamils issue, the major plank on which all political outfits find common cause to further their interests.
Though DMK kept on sulking over the treatment its Dalit leader and former Telecom Minister A Raja got on the 2G scam, which also caught in its web, Karunanidhi's daughter Kanimozhi and his wife Dayalu, the party snapped its alliance with UPA over Tamils issue in March last year and later pulled its ministers out of the UPA ministry.

Man escapes football match-fixing charges for now
Published on Nov 19, 2012 1:21 PM
Project manager Selvarajan Letchuman was awarded a discharge not amounting to an acquittal on charges of match-fixing because his two alleged Malaysian accomplices have absconded.
All three had been accused of attempted match-fixing of a Malaysian Super League game between LionsXII and Sarawak in May 2012.
Selvarajan, 49, was alleged to have given RM500 to Malaysian part-time referee Shokri Nor and offering up to RM15,000 to Shokri if the desired outcome was achieved. Shokri was supposed to be the referee that night but was replaced at the last minute before the match started as he had been picked up for questioning by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau.
Shokri, 47, a Malaysian police officer, and S. Thanasegar, 38, a businessman and a former national state player, were charged with conspiracy-by-abetment to corruptly agree to receive the RM15,000 bribe to fix the result of the match. Both were released on bail of $50,000 each but absconded in August.

Since the belt broke, I had to put the cogged belt on the large driven pulley first, after loosening the four motor mount screws, and sliding the motor as close to the driven belt as I could. After several tries, I positioned the belt successfully on the driven pulley, then slipped it over the pulley on the motor. I pulled the motor as far away from the driven pulley to put proper tension on the belt without being excessive. I snugged the four motor mount bolts, tested the compactor and after a successful run, tightened the bolts on the motor mount. I then replaced the latch assembly, two screws and it was done.

If you ever wonder why getting a mortgage is a complicated, expensive mess, you often don't have to look much further than the legal system. On the heels of a " robo-signing" settlement--which cost a group of banks $25 billion in fines--came the "LIBOR scandal," where Barclays bank was fined around $450 million for attempting to manipulate the LIBOR rate. And now comes yet another LIBOR lawsuit, this one is a class-action suit on behalf of homeowners who allege that LIBOR-setting banks manipulated the 6-month LIBOR rate so that the value was higher on the first business day of the month, a date when the interest rate on their Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs) reset. Ultimately proven or disproven, these things cost banks money to defend, and those costs are ultimately passed on to customers.
LIBOR class-action lawsuit
The lawsuit- Annie Bell Adams, et al. v. Bank of America, et al, 12 Civ. 7461--alleges that members of the rate-setting panel of the British Bankers' Association manipulated the LIBOR rate higher on or before January 2000 through at least February 2009 (referred to as the "Class Period" in the lawsuit) and "unjustly enriched themselves" as a result. The lawsuit alleges three separate LIBOR manipulations:
- "Throughout the Class Period, the LIBOR 6 month rates on the first business day of each month are, on average, more than two basis points higher than the average LIBOR 6 month rates throughout the Class Period."
- "Additionally, from August, 2007 through February, 2009, the LIBOR 6 month rates on the first business day of each month are, on average, more than seven and one-half basis points higher than the average LIBOR 6 month rates."
- "Finally, the LIBOR 6 month rates on the first business day of each month are, the great majority of the time, higher than the five-day running average of the LIBOR 6 month rate surrounding the first business day submissions throughout the Class Period."

In his speech on Christmas Day, Pope Francis said he hopes for a better world, including successful Middle East negotiations in the land of Jesus' birth, peace for Syria and several war—torn African countries, and dignity for refugees fleeing misery and conflict.
He spoke from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica to some 70,000 tourists, pilgrims and Romans in the square below. He said he was joining all those hoping "for a better world."
Among places ravaged by conflict, Pope Francis singled out Syria, which saw its third Christmas during civil war, South Sudan, the Central African Republic, Nigeria and Iraq.
Pope Francis explained his concept of peace."True peace is not a balancing of opposing forces. It's not a lovely facade which conceals conflicts and divisions," the pope said in his first Christmas message since being elected pontiff in March. "Peace calls for daily commitment," Francis said, reading the pages of his speech which were ruffled by a chilly wind.
Recalling the hundreds of migrants who drowned trying to reach European shores, he also prayed that refugees receive hope, consolation and assistance.
In the Mideast, pilgrims celebrated Christmas Day in the ancient Bethlehem church where tradition holds Jesus was born, as candles illuminated the site and the sound of prayer filled its overflowing halls.
