Bought a Single Family home in 2013 for approximately $175K in Summerville, Augusta, GA.
Martha helped me to buy an investment property in Summerville. The property had title problems and she was very knowledgeable and helpful in navigating the process of getting the title cleared and the property closed. She was also great negotiating with a difficult seller. I will definitely use her again in future transactions.

Helped me rent a Single Family home in Carolina Beach, NC.
Martha was, in short, the perfect Agent. She listened to our preferences and quickly found us options that were exactly what we had been looking for. She responded to our emails and phone calls with no delay despite us moving from overseas (6 hour time difference). She has great local knowledge and quickly placed us into the home we were looking for! If you're a military member without much experience in the Augusta area with a PCS move coming up to Fort Gordon, I wouldn't recommend any other way of finding a place! Great Service, Very Helpful, Responsive!
Thanks Martha for everything. Kerstin and Daniel L

The Division of Neonatology at CHOP provides comprehensive care for critically ill newborns and infants in the Harriet and Ronald Lassin Newborn/Infant Intensive Care Unit (N/IICU) and through CHOP Newborn Care, our partnership with several area hospitals.
As a large and top-ranked pediatric hospital in the United States, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia treats thousands of patients each year. Our large volume of patients allows us to do more than treat individual children; it also allows us to spot trends in patient care and conditions and respond appropriately.
The neonatology team has developed four programs in recent years to address specific concerns and issues dealing with certain illnesses. We also work collaboratively with a range of other programs and departments within the Hospital. Our multidisciplinary approach to patient care is focused on producing the best outcomes for patients and their families.
The Neonatal Airway Program at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is part of the Center for Pediatric Airway Disorders. It is devoted solely to evaluation, treatment and follow-up care of all inpatient neonates and infants with complex airway issues.
Housed within Children's Hospital's N/IICU, our program offers these infants seamless care, employing the newest and most innovative diagnostic and therapeutic modalities.
For more information about the program, conditions we treat, evaluation, treatment and research, see Neonatal Airway Program.
The Newborn and Infant Chronic Lung Disease Program at CHOP is among the first programs devoted solely to the treatment of infants with chronic lung disease. Housed within the CHOP N/IICU, our program offers infants with chronic lung disease seamless care from evaluation through treatment and long-term follow-up, employing the newest and most innovative diagnostic therapeutic modalities available.
Over the past few years, we have seen a steady increase in referrals for infants with chronic lung disease to the N/IICU. As a result, we have gained extensive experience and developed expertise in the comprehensive management of infants with chronic lung disease.
For more information about the program, evaluation, treatment and research, see Newborn and Infant Chronic Lung Disease Program.
The Neonatal Craniofacial Program at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is a new joint program run by the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the Division of Neonatology. The program, housed within CHOP's N/IICU, consists of a highly specialized team of pediatric plastic surgeons and neonatologists dedicated to the treatment and care of neonates with rare and complex craniofacial disorders and syndromes.
CHOP has long been a leader in the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of infants, children and teens with a variety of congenital, genetic and acquired malformations of the head, face and jaw. Our Craniofacial Program is one of the largest single centers of its kind with more than 1,000 admissions per year — many for genetic syndromes with craniofacial deformations, micrognathia and tongue-based airway obstruction.
For more information about the program, conditions we treat, treatment and research, see the Neonatal Craniofacial Program.
The Neonatal Follow-up Program assesses the medical, nutritional, neurologic, developmental and psychosocial needs of the preterm and high-risk infant after discharge. Our specialized staff has extensive experience in addressing the ongoing needs of families caring for medically complex infants.
For details, see Neonatal Follow-up Program.
The Neonatal Stroke Program at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, part of the Pediatric Stroke Program, was established in 2005 as the first program of its kind in the United States. The program is dedicated to the evaluation, treatment and follow-up care of all neonates and infants with stroke or other cerebrovascular disorders.
Inpatients are cared for in the N/IICU, while outpatients are evaluated in the Neonatal Stroke Clinic within the Division of Neurology.
For details, see Neonatal Stroke Program.
The neonatology team works closely with clinical specialists across the Hospital. Some common related programs and services include:

According to one employee in particular, the blame is currently directed towards the Board of Commissioners for their conference meetings, which deterred allocations to cover union contracts and spending near the West Side in Stanislaus County.
On the May 2013 agenda, the Housing Authority approved a travel and training seminar for the NAHRO Summer Conference to be held in Denver, CO. from July 18 to 20th. One staff member and three Commissions were subject to attend. Each individual was budgeted at $2,100 per individual.
According to the conference's syllabus, seminars included "Rise & Shine Yoga," "Miscellaneous Meetings," "ZUMBA!" sessions, an "NAHRO Dance Club" and continental breakfasts.
"During that month, they spent $7,500 going to ZUMBA and dancing around," said one anonymous employee. "The executive director, Bill Fagan, he buys them and sends them on trips all over. And of course they'll pass it because they are the ones going. They are not using the money properly and spending money that can be used on the half completed projects in Patterson."
The employee went on to say that the 129 homes were bought from National Stimulus Package funds, but only 14 of those homes were purchased for the Westside. The employee laid the fault at Chairman Diana Haile, who resides in the 5th District, for her inadequate representation to the valley's West Side.
"Haile approved three projects," the employee added. "Two in Modesto and one in Waterford, and they still haven't even finished phase two on Las Palmas' Senior Center in Patterson. That lot is still open and no one is doing anything about it. They vote and pass everything and never ask questions. When you've been appointed as a commissioner, you need to be involved."
Union members are just as angry at Stanislaus County Board Supervisor Jim DeMartini for allegedly appointing Haile to the commission, as well as his un-involvement in the stalemate between the authority and union.
On Monday, Aug. 19, DeMartini stated that Haile was chosen to represent the West Side because "no one else in the past was interested in the seat."
"There is some type of labor dispute between the housing authority that is not under county control," said DeMartini. "We don't know too much about it. They are a federal program and they have their own board. We cannot influence their decisions."
DeMartini stated that he has heard allegations against Haile, however, he doesn't know the specifics of the aggravation.
"The union doesn't like her, and it is all over a contract," he said simply. "I know they've been trying to drag us into this dispute for a while, but there is nothing we can do. We have absolutely nothing to say about the criteria or guidelines."
Despite DeMartini's defense, employees said they've regularly invited him personally to their board meetings, and have even asked permission to get his staff to participate. Employees said their goal was to convince the county supervisors to appoint a new board of commissioners.
During the Housing Authority's Board of Commissioners' meeting Thursday, Aug. 14, various employees balked at the Commission's 5-1 decision to offer only a two percent cost of living increase, despite the union pleading for a two and a half increase.
"It didn't go over very well," said one employee. "They took away another $12,000 from us to waste it on dancing."
The Commissioners' responded that the raise was similar to what other housing authorities were given throughout the valley and emphasized that many were not given any raises while some employees were forced to take furlough days.
Employees said the commissioners' demeanor was enough to provoke outrage as they occasionally acted coldly against the union's endeavors and would begin rolling their eyes, acting out or clapping their hands during the allotted meetings.

As of Saturday, September 29, 2012

'Tis the season ... or it's getting close.
October rolls in Monday, bringing with it a plethora of fall events, from concerts to community festivals to arts and crafts shows to harvest festivals. This is when the seasons turn, and every year seem to turn more quickly — Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, flu ...
Yes, you read that right — flu season. It's nothing to celebrate, but it's on its way, just as surely as trick-or-treaters, turkey dinner and St. Nick.
Last year's flu season was the kind that can lull a person into a sense of false security. Overall, it was one of the mildest we've experienced in a number of years. The problem is that is no reliable predictor for this coming flu season, which is rapidly approaching. Sure, it could be mild again. But it also could be a vicious one.
Why take the chance?
If you got a flu vaccine last year, it won't necessarily keep you from getting the bug this season. Health officials — who have to gaze through a crystal ball months ahead to concoct the recipe for certain strains that is included in each year's vaccination — say there are two new strains of flu working their way around the globe. Government officials said Thursday that the new vaccine looks like it is working well against those strains, including one from a strain that has historically been a harsh one.
While no one likes to take injections, a little stick in the arm today can prevent a whole lot of misery down the road. And the sooner the better since it takes a couple of weeks for your body to build up the resistance to the flu bugs once you are vaccinated.
Numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week show that more than half of U.S. children — 52 percent — were immunized, including three out of every four toddlers ages 6 months-23 months.
The adults, many of whom have to care for those toddlers, were less likely to protect themselves, with fewer than four out of 10 — 39 percent — getting the vaccine in 2011.
Two out of every three seniors got the vaccination, but that percentage continues a slow, steady drop among that age group. We'd guess that some baby boomers who have entered the range never quite got over that feeling of invulnerability, the one that resulted in only 33 percent of teens getting the vaccine last year.
The Associated Press reported Friday that manufacturers expect to create 135 million doses of the vaccine, which can be administered four ways:
- A traditional flu shot;
- FluMist, a nasal version for healthy people 2-49, excluding pregnant women;
- A high-dose shot for seniors 65 and older;
- A skin-deep prick for people 18-64.
Like we said, it's getting to the time of the year when there's never enough time and plenty to see, do and enjoy. It'll be a lot more fun if you're not stuck on your back in bed with a fever and aches. And the family members who you won't infect and the co-workers who won't have to cover for you while you're sick will appreciate it, too.

Swept AwayPosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
This Thursday night, Broomstick will get its second performance as part of the Charlotte New Music Festival. Here's what I wrote about the piece when it was premiered last month:
To illustrate the first of his six artistic principles – Lightness – Italo Calvino recalls the weight of the domestic life borne by women through the centuries. In a leap that conveys the power of the imagination, these women took the tool of their servitude – the broom – and transformed it into an extraordinary symbol of lightness and power, donning their steep-peaked hats and soaring off to the moon.
Performance details here.

Space: Above and Beyond
Space: Above and Beyond is a short-lived 1990s American science fiction television show on the Fox Network, created and written by Glen Morgan and James Wong.
|This TV article is a stub. You can help Wikiquote by expanding it.
Season 1[edit]
Opening narration[edit]
- "T. C." McQueen: We thought we were alone. We believed the universe was ours. Until one night in 2063, on a Earth colony 16 light-years away, they struck. Now we are at war. We fight when called, in space, on land, and at sea. To lose this war means more than defeat, to surrender is to never go home. All of us must rise to the call... above and beyond.
Episode 1: Pilot Part 1[edit]
Colonial Governor Borman: Tonight we stand beneath a new heaven. After 150 years of calling out, the silence of the universe assures us that life is unique. We are alone. You and I are among the first to bring life to the stars - to this planet. The farthest any human has ever ventured. I know there are those at home who say that we are here only as a status symbol. Others say that we are fortune hunters, or that we're running away. But I know we're here because of faith - faith in each other, in a better world. The rocket fuel that brought us here can be burnt away, but our belief in ourselves, in one another, in the future, never can be; never will be.
Sergeant Major Frank Bougus: I am your senior drill instructor, I am here to turn you slimey civilian cesspool parasites into United States Marine Corp space aviators, invoking bowel wrenching fear into the dark hearts of your enemies
Sergeant Major Frank Bougus: I am a road map, i will lead and you will follow, i will teach and you will learn, when you leave my academy you will be weapons, focussed and full of purpose, Hot Rod rocket god's of percision and strenght, terrorising across the cosmos and hunting for heaven
Sergeant Major Frank Bougus: I am not an officer, I work for a living!
Sergeant Major Frank Bougus: In space, no one can hear you scream, unless it is the war cry of the U.S. Marines!
Sergeant Major Frank Bougus: You might fly an individual rocket but you are a squadron, you are a team, and if your risk your ass you risk the teams
Secretary General of The United Nations, Spencer Chartwell:No matter where you stand on this planet, either beneath the sun's warmth, or the cold of night, the storm cloud's of war gather over our home, soon they may fall in unceasing thunder bolts, we must stand together against the deluge, we cannot possibly retreat
Sergeant Major Frank Bougus: War is what Marines pray for
Sergeant Major Frank Bougus: As part of your training, there is no commanding officer. You are on your own. From this moment until we win this war, the only easy day is yesterday.

BROOMFIELD, Colo., (October 2, 2010) Horizon® is proud to announce the recipients of the 2010 Horizon Organic Producer Education (HOPE) Award, which recognizes farmers who create positive change in their communities by practicing and serving as a model for organic agriculture. Harvey and Connie Frasier from Mohawk, N.Y., received this year's award for their sustainable farming practices and dedication to promoting organic agriculture in their local community.
The Frasiers were honored with the HOPE Award during Farm Aid's 25th anniversary concert on October 2 at Miller Park in Milwaukee, Wis. Farm Aid is the longest running concert-for-a-cause in America, held each year to promote the importance of family farming, as well as raise awareness about the economic, environmental and health challenges that our nation faces, which family farmers can help us address. Horizon Organic has been a major sponsor of Farm Aid since 2004 and founded the HOPE Award five years ago.
"The HOPE Award means a lot to our family, as we take great pride in our work and are grateful to be in a business that's supportive to both the people and the planet," said Connie Frasier. "We hope this award will help us further spread the word about organic farming and continue to help those interested in learning more about switching to organic farming practices."
The Frasiers, who are fourth generation farmers, transitioned from conventional to organic farming a decade ago. At the time, they were only the second organic farm in New York's Herkimer County. They quickly discovered additional lifestyle benefits, both for their family and their cows. "Thanks to organic farming practices, we noticed that our cows were healthier and our family was healthier due to reduced stress," said Frasier.
"With the HOPE Award, we gratefully acknowledge the Frasier's spirit and commitment to organic," said Mike Ferry, Horizon Organic president. "They truly exemplify the power to make a difference in their community by encouraging other family farmers to undertake the transition to organic and by practicing organic principles that respect and protect our environment."
Horizon Organic HOPE Award
The couple has since helped many other local farmers — two of whom are Harvey's grown children, Harvey Jr. and Bryce Frasier — transition from conventional to organic farming. They regularly receive phone calls from farmers who are transitioning and never hesitate to offer support, including guiding them through the organic certification paperwork. "I really want to see everyone make it in the organic business," said Frasier, who has been supplying organic milk to Horizon Organic for the past 10 years.
They also host regular tours of their farm — which features an environmentally-friendly, low-electricity barn — for local farmers and school elementary school children to help educate them about the benefits of organic dairy farming.
About Horizon
Horizon believes the choice for a healthy family and a healthy planet should be an easy one. Horizon offers a delicious variety of certified organic dairy products to satisfy a broad range of consumer needs. Horizon's commitment to a healthier planet includes offsetting the energy used to produce its products with clean, renewable wind power. Horizon works with 569 certified organic family farmers. Founded in 1991, Horizon was a pioneer in the organic industry, the first company to supply organic milk nationally, and remains committed to providing great-tasting dairy products that make it easy for moms to provide nutritious options for her kids.

edited by Allen K. Hess, Ph.D., and Irving B. Weiner, Ph.D. New York, John Wiley & Sons, 1998, 756 pp., $85.00.
Drs. Hess and Weiner have brought together 44 psychologists, psychiatrists, and lawyers to produce this encyclopedic treatment of forensic psychology. They cite the works of 2,000 authors. The editors list the contributors by name, degree, and, usually, the institution in which they work. Although there is no biographical information on any of them, their scholarship is impressive and speaks for itself.
There are 25 chapters organized into six sections. The first comprises three chapters that place forensic psychology in perspective by defining it and relating its history. Parts 2 to 5 address the applicability of psychology to civil proceedings, criminal proceedings, expert testimony, and intervention with offenders. The final section deals with professional ethics and training.
More than half of the text is devoted to the applications of psychology to legal proceedings. Of particular interest to me as a psychiatrist who does forensic work were the chapters on assessment of dangerousness, on defining and evaluating competency to stand trial, and on specific intent and diminished capacity.
The authors of the chapter on dangerousness conclude that there has been substantial progress in recent years through improvement in research methods and the development of assessment instruments and guidelines for evaluators. They emphasize the Violence Risk Assessment Guide, which combines clinical evaluation with statistics-based prediction (p. 181). This and other instruments that they discuss in detail have been developed since the first edition of this work was published in 1987.
The chapter on competency to stand trial provides an overview of the large body of published writing and research on the subject. The authors conclude that competency to stand trial depends on the match between the defendant's mental status and the demands placed on him or her in the context of the case.
In the matter of the determination of a defendant's capacity to form the requisite intent to commit an offense, expert witnesses generally cannot offer testimony that will alter the outcome of a trial. During the 1960s and 1970s, high court decisions moved to ameliorate the M'Naughten Rule, with its narrow definition of legal insanity, in favor of more liberal standards set down in the American Law Institute Model Penal Code (p. 355). The effect was to equate diminished capacity with diminished responsibility. There was a legislative and judicial backlash after the assassination attempt on President Reagan and the killing of San Francisco's mayor and one of its supervisors. Legislation and court decisions have subsequently reversed the trend. As a result, psychiatrists and psychologists can demonstrate that, because of mental illness, a defendant was incapable of appreciating the wrongfulness of his or her behavior but not that, because of inability to form intent, the crime was not as charged.
There are four chapters on intervention that cover crime prevention and punishment; assessment, diagnosis, and treatment in correctional settings; substance abuse programs; and several psychosocial treatment strategies, including psychotherapy.
It seems to me that this volume, which thoroughly covers the English-language literature on forensic psychiatry and psychology, is one that those of us who work with forensic patients ought to have at hand as a source. I suspect that the first edition is already serving in that way for many who have access to it.

Saturday Sidecar: Can You Use Your Job Skills To Rock Your Business?
Sidecar drivers wear many hats: CEO, CFO, manager, assistant, chief cook and bottle washer…There's a lot of power in wearing all these hats – and a lot of responsibility. When the business is yours and yours alone to operate, you will occasionally feel ill-prepared to wear a certain hat. You may be adept at flower arrangement, which is the technical and creative backbone of your sidecar as a florist but feel less than capable of keeping your books or sourcing your flowers from reputable wholesalers.
While it's true that you probably aren't an accountant, bookkeeper – nor a wholesale buyer – you most likely have experience upon which you can draw that will guide you through those uncharted waters without sinking your ship. Whether you realize it or not, you possess and employ skills, knowledge and talents in your everyday life and in your 'day job' that will serve you well in your sidecar endeavor.
So what might these skills, knowledge and talents be? Let's break down the common elements of running any business in general and fit your existing abilities to what is required.
Business management – This area pertains to managing time and resources. If you've done any of the following, you have skills valuable to managing the business-end of your sidecar.
- Established long and short term goals
- Created a to-do list
- Stuck to a schedule
- Planned a vacation or outing
- Organized a party or event
- Planned a week's worth of menus in advance
- Made significant decisions pertaining to a loved one
- Made difficult choices
- Showed up on the job even though your heart wasn't in it that day
- Thought outside the box
Finance – This area pertains to the influx and outflow of money and budgeting. If you've done any of the following, you have skills valuable to managing your sidecar's finances.
- Balanced a checkbook
- Established a budget
- Stuck to a budget
- Handled credit responsibly
- Survived a money crisis
- Hunted down a bargain
- Selected a winning proposal
- Invested money
Interpersonal relations – This area pertains to people skills. If you've done any of the following, you have skills valuable to dealing with the people you'll need to work with and manage.
- Handled conflict
- Negotiated for benefits
- Purchased a car
- Soothed hurt feelings
- Consulted an expert
- Worked solo
- Worked within a group
- Lead a group
- Delivered a persuasive presentation
- Evaluated another's performance
Most people have commonly encountered these situations in life or on the job. While you may not be professionally trained in those fields, you just may have more competence than you initially give yourself credit. While there's no shame in consulting a professional when it's necessary, don't underestimate the depth and breadth of your day-to-day experiences to help you run your sidecar like a pro!
Sidecar tuneup tip: Sidecar operators often drive solo, which means that the bulk of the work falls on our shoulders alone. While it can seem overwhelming, we have more experience at running the various aspects of a business than we may think.
Saturday Sidecar: Success – It's All In Your Attitude
What fuel makes your sidecar run? How do you keep your tank from running low? As the operator of your sidecar, it's all up to you: motivation, work ethic, attitude… You can't let setbacks, disappointments and obstacles cause you to lose momentum. Ultimately, the success of your sidecar depends upon your ability to keep your engine positively humming along.
Perhaps it's human nature to internalize our problems, personal and professional, by taking blame for things that, in reality, are out of our control. As those blessed with an independent entrepreneurial spirit, it's our strong desire to succeed that leads us to take on more than our share of responsibility.
Let's explore a technique that can help you to keep a good attitude – even when you feel discouraged or uninspired. A positive attitude can make all the difference in how you deal with the challenges inherent in running your business. It really comes down to your internal monologue.
Your internal monologue is the messages you deliver within your own mind about yourself.
Yes, what you tell yourself and how you frame it affects the way you look at any set of circumstances. But don't wait until you're feeling unappreciated, discouraged or generally negative about yourself and your business to challenge your own way of thinking. Start adjusting your internal monologue to reflect a more positive attitude today an you'll begin to reap the benefits of a more energized outlook.
You can make this a daily exercise – in fact, put it on your to-do list. Think about an area of your business upon which you'd like to improve. Consider how you are thinking about it and how you could adjust your thoughts, with a more positive spin.
Ask yourself questions such as:
● Is this as big an issue as I believe it to be?
● Is my way of thinking about this sabotaging my ability to solve it?
● How can I think about it more positively?
Frame your answers to those questions in a positive way. Give yourself all the credit you deserve for being competent, hard-working and intelligent. Chances are, none of those issues are really your problem. The problem most likely stems from the fact that you are blaming your perceived deficiencies for your business challenges. Be kind to yourself by affirming the positive traits that help you when things so smoothly in your sidecar, like:
● I am skilled at what I do.
● I am talented and creative.
● I have a strong desire to help my clients.
● I am intelligent.
● I can keep things in their proper perspective.
● My business is sound and valuable.
● I am adept at solving problems.
Affirmations like these, when used on a regular basis, will keep you constantly aware of all you have to offer. Brainstorm your own personal affirmations that will energize your self-image. Make these positive statements a major part of your internal monologue so they become second nature. You will thank yourself.
Sidecar Tuneup Tip: Your positive attitude is among your strongest assets as a sidecar driver. Nurture your attitude to hotwire your success.
Saturday Sidecar: Troublesome Clients Don't Coddle Em – Fire Em
Sidecar drivers soon learn that all clients are not created equal. While most will grant you the respect you deserve, some won't. Call it human nature or the trap of micromanaging or a general bad attitude – but there will be clients you'll come to wish you'd never met. Unfortunately, a select few will bring more toxicity into the relationship than you need to deal with and the only solution: Fire them!
While everyone has their individual breaking point, here are some of the qualities that these clients may display that will eventually cause you to reach yours:
● Try to do your job for you
● Belittle your efforts and expertise
● Are blatantly abusive
● Attempt to change your offerings to suit their wants/needs
● Disrespectful of boundaries/expect more of your time and attention than is reasonable and appropriate
So what's a freelancer to do? Before you blame the client, perform a self-evaluation to make certain that you aren't to blame. Ask yourself:
● Am I truly the right person for this job, or is the source of the friction the fact that I'm a square peg trying to fit into their round hole?
● Have I clearly and explicitly spelled out exactly what I will provide as far as product and service? Do our expectations align?
● Have I reminded the client of the terms of our original agreement?
If you feel that you're clear on those three counts, it's safe to assume it's not you, it's them. That doesn't make the process of letting a client go easy but at least you'll feel justified. To fire a client is to, in essence, say, "No," to money. Just as important as making income from our Sidecar, however, is creating a business of which we're proud. We can't feel proud of our business if we're letting others dictate our priorities and sap our enthusiasm. Isn't that why we work our Sidecar – to express our autonomy and passion?
When you realize the client is proving poisonous to your attitude, tell her so, kindly and in no uncertain terms. Fire that client who's more trouble than she's worth with honest but cautious wording, like, "Based upon your expectations, I don't think our company is a good fit for your needs." If you know of a better-suited company, make a recommendation.
Never accuse the client of being unreasonable, pushy, abrasive or disrespectful – even if that is precisely what she was. Taking the high road is best because even though you've parted ways, there won't be hard feelings and blame. If you really convey that the problem is that your offerings are incompatible with their expectations, they may even recommend you to colleagues to whom you'll be better suited.
Driving you Sidecar is challenging enough without tolerating negative interference from your clients. You'll do your best work when you're working with clients who treat you with respect.
Sidecar Tuneup Tip: Firing a client may sound negative but when done for the right reasons and in the right way, it can be an assertive action that best serves your business and keeps ex-clients from being hostile.
Saturday Sidecar: Use All 5 Senses To Create A Productive Workspace
We're most productive in a workspace that's conducive to our individual work style. Our surroundings have a lot to do with our attitude, so optimizing our work environment to our individual preferences is a good way to invigorate ourselves as we work our sidecar business.
And what's more individual to the way we experience our environment than our own five senses? Pleasing as many of them as possible will make our workspace a pleasant place to be and therefore a pleasant place to work.
Whether it's in a spare room, basement, garage or a corner of the bedroom, here are some factors to consider when setting up a workspace destined for personal productivity:
1. Sight – What do you prefer to see in your work area? Does it face a window? Is that a good thing because you are energized by the daylight streaming through the open blinds? Is a bad thing because you are easily distracted by neighbors, passing cars and frolicking squirrels?
Also consider the visual characteristics of your direct workspace – Is there adequate lighting? Is your monitor clear and big enough to perform your work optimally? Is the space distractingly cluttered?
2. Hearing – What do you prefer to hear in your work area? Do you enjoy listening to nature, distant children playing or perhaps music? Alternatively, does silence suit your work style best?
Take into account ambient noise that may be distracting, like a washing machine or the annoyance of a squeaky door or dripping faucet. These things can break your concentration even without your conscious awareness of them.
3. Touch – Make sure your furniture suits your work style. Your chair should be comfortable and supportive if you sit, as should your shoes if you walk or stand. Your work station should be at an appropriate height for you to perform your work.
Temperature is tactile too – if you are too hot or cold, you will not perform as efficiently as you would at a more desirable temperature.
4. Smell – Do you prefer a scented room or your air 'au naturel?' Smell is our most evocative sense so take the smells in your surroundings seriously. When setting up your workspace, take a deep breath to determine air quality. Do you smell mildew, pet odors, garbage, smoke or other unpleasant and distracting odors? Even good smells can distract, like heavy perfumes and deodorants or cooking aromas.
5. Taste – With a little artistic license, let's use the word 'taste' in a broader sense, to mean aesthetic preference. Simply speaking, you should find your own taste in your work space. Are you a glass and chrome kind of person or is walnut or oak more your style? If the surroundings remind you of an operating room or a bedroom, they're not going to inspire productivity.
Our senses guide us through the day – we should use them to make our days pleasantly productive.
Sidecar Tuneup Tip: Consider all five of your senses when creating your personal work space and you'll give your sidecar another advantage on the road to productivity.
Saturday Sidecar: Indispensable You
You are indispensable. You know it – but do your clients? You see their needs and have the solutions right here in your trusty bag of professional tricks. Oh, how you could help them, if only they would give you the opportunity!
How do you show existing clients and new prospects alike the many ways in which hiring you is the greatest thing they can do to solve their problems? The answer lies squarely on your shoulders to put the decision on your clients' shoulders, my friend. The key is helping them to see what pain points your offerings will alleviate.
Here are some tips for helping your clients and potential clients see that they can't live without you:
● Listen. You can't save their skin if you don't know where they're bleeding. Find out precisely where/what their deficits are by really listening to how they explain what they need. Does she have wrinkles and dry skin? Do her rose bushes have blight?
● Restate her issues. Once you hear the client's take on what she needs, repeat it back to her so she can hear that you heard precisely what she said. Hearing her problem repeated cements the need for a solution in her mind. She hears, "I have wrinkles and dry skin." "My rose bushes have blight."
● Suggest specific solutions to specific problems – Of course your client would like to know that you are a trained and experienced professional in your field but don't overwhelm her by pulling out every solution in your bag of tricks. Narrow your focus to addressing her specific needs, convincing her you are the pro for the job! Discuss the benefits of your SuperSoft skin cream to treat her dry skin and wrinkles and explain that you know precisely what to do for rose blight.
● Let the client draw conclusions about what she needs. Once you inform the client as to how you can ease her pain point, step back and allow her to summarize and conclude what she needs from you. She will do a far better job convincing herself that she can't live without SuperSoft skin cream or your treatment for the roses than if you try to do it yourself!
● Value your services accordingly. Give her problem – and your solution – the "weight" they deserve by charging appropriately. Even if the problem is easily remedied, if it's worth fixing, it's worth charging for. If the problem can be solved too cheaply, it will appear that it isn't much of a problem – or much of a solution. Your expertise in knowing what to do for skin or roses has value in and of itself.
Give your clients every opportunity to realize they have a problem and you have the solution. When provided the right circumstances, they will come to the conclusion that they can't live without you every time.
Yup, it's true – you ARE indispensable and your clients should know it!
Sidecar Tuneup Tip – Convincing clients that they can't live without you is key to closing new deals and keeping existing clients depending on you.
Saturday Sidecar: Turn Your To-Do List Blues into a To Done Celebration.
Operating a sidecar brings with it a to-do list a mile long. You need to market your business, find opportunities, procure actual work, do actual work, stay consistently busy and always have more work coming down the pipeline. It's a never-ending cycle with a seemingly never-ending list of tasks associated with it.
Sometimes your to-do list may seem manageable but more often than not, you probably feel that it's conquering you rather than you conquering it. What can you do when the individual tasks on your to-do list threaten to swallow you up? The answer is, set it aside for the time being.
Rather than resigning yourself to feeling like a failure over what your to-do list says you haven't done, stop to consider what you have accomplished. Look at the big picture instead of focusing on the minutia.
Try this when you find yourself suffering from the "to-do list blues:"
Take some time to reflect about your sidecar's journey from inception to its present location. Maybe even chronicle the history of your sidecar for future reference. Reach back into your memory and recount the story of why you began your sidecar, considering these questions:
● Did you want to (or need to) earn extra money?
● Did you need an outlet for your creativity?
● Did you need to be able to work independently?
● Did you wonder what it would be like to be an entrepreneur?
● Did you need a personal or professional challenge?
Your answers to those questions will remind you of "where you were" when you decided to embark upon your side business. Once reminded of "once upon a time," begin thinking about the "here and now" of your sidecar, considering these questions:
● How much have I earned operating my sidecar?
● How am I able to express my skills and talents through my sidecar?
● Do I appreciate the opportunity to work as I see fit?
● Do I enjoy owning a business?
● How does my business challenge me personally and professionally?
● How, overall, is my life better as the operator of my sidecar?
Now that you've made the mental circle from where you were to where you are, try looking at that to-do list again. Flip back the pages, literally or figuratively, and contemplate what you've accomplished. Reviewing your "done" list with this new outlook will give you perspective about the amount of work you have accomplished. While your to-do list represents the minute details of working your business, and can in a very concrete way demonstrate that you indeed have accomplished many tasks which you may not remember individually, the real story is in the big picture.
Use your to-do list to remind you of what you need to do and what you've accomplished. They are of equal importance and can help you appreciate the bigger picture of how far you've come in your sidecar.
Sidecar Tuneup Tip: Looking only at your to-do list can be daunting and disheartening. Take a big picture view of your sidecar before using your to-do list to gauge your progress.
Saturday Sidecar: Use Color to Jazz Up Your Brand
Power ties are red and Boy Scout uniforms are blue…
Colors are important to branding, it's true.
Your business' brand is the overall representation of your company – in print, on the web, in person – everywhere customers will encounter it. The more consistent and effective you are at branding your business, the more easily people will come to recognize it. One crucial aspect to your brand is the use of color.
Color is a powerful visual element – it can create or enhance a mood simply by coming to the party. Color communicates as vividly as sound or words (and probably more-so)! That's why it's important to choose the colors that identify your business' "look" carefully. Color can help create the image you want your business to project if you understand what each color can communicate.
Even if you're basically happy with your business' color scheme, consider the opportunity color represents to breathe some excitement into your branding. Perhaps a new color will jazz up your eye-appeal, making your branding more memorable.
How do you know what colors to choose to represent your business? Let's explore basic colors and their common connotations – at least in the Western world:
● Eye-catching
● Projects vitality, love, energy, excitement and movement
● Too much can overwhelm, becoming ineffective
● Can be calming and restful
● Reminiscent of nature
● Projects wisdom and loyalty
● Certain shades (or too much) can look cold
● Projects cheerfulness, optimism and happiness
● Effective when used to highlight
● Too much can be overstimulating and disturbing
● Reminiscent of nature and life
● Pleasing to the eye
● Lighter tints project peace, calmness and harmony
● Darker shades reflect conservativeness, masculinity and prosperity
● Creates a respectful mood
● Projects a royal vibe, wisdom, sophistication, and an air of mystery
● Too much can appear pretentious
● Elicits feelings of excitement and ambition
● Projects fun and happiness
● Creates an energetic and warm feel
● Creates a serious, authoritative feel
● Projects intelligence, strength and stability
● Can add drama or convey sadness
● Too much can overwhelm
● Associated with cleanliness and purity
● Projects creativity and neutrality
● Too much is boring, not enough is overwhelming
● Associated with a timeless, practical feel
● Projects rock-solid stability when used in moderation
● Can come across as wishy-washy or dull when used too much
As you can see, colors have strong associations in our minds. Make certain your branding conveys the right message about your business. What image does your brand impart to viewers? Is it energetic enough? Does it project an air of authority? Does it catch the eye? Perhaps a new use of color will add just the spark to liven up your brand.
Don't underestimate the impact of color in your branding. A dash here or a change there could be just what it takes to get your brand noticed and remembered.
Sidecar Tuneup Tip: Effective use of color can help your branding do what it's supposed to do: Create an eye-catching and identifiable image to represent your business.
Saturday Sidecar: Do You Have Steely Focus?
Remaining productive is a challenge when operating your sidecar. With limited time to work on your business, you want to make the most out of every bit of effort you put forth. How can you make sure those precious hours spent working your side business are productively spent instead of frittered away? The answer is personal accountability.
Personal accountability begins with an assessment of what you want to accomplish, how and when:
- Envision the outcome you desire.
- Create a road map to guide you there by taking that big goal and breaking it down into manageable chunks, comprised of definitive tasks for you to accomplish. Those chunks represent the benchmarks – or indicators – of progress toward the larger goal.
- Create a system to hold yourself accountable for completing those tasks which tracks your progress. Maintaining awareness of where you are along the path to reaching your goal provides inspiration and direction.
Here are some tips to help you develop the steely focus necessary to stay on task as you reach your benchmarks along the road to accomplishing your business goals:
● Time your work sessions, including a planned break. Provide yourself a timeframe for focusing on a task. Literally set a timer for, say, 50 minutes. When the time is up, step away and freshen your focus for a few minutes before going back at it. This will revitalize your motivation and help your mind avoid wandering.
● Avoid as much extraneous distraction as possible. No one can focus when the phone, Facebook, unrelated conversations or other shiny objects draw our attention from work.
● Individualize your benchmarks to your own work style and business. Create your own yardstick and measure your progress on your own terms.
● Measure everything you can to ensure accountability. Provide yourself concrete goals (with charts and graphs if necessary) so you can actually track your progress and see what you've accomplished.
● Reward your accomplishments. Remember to acknowledge the progress you make with every task you complete.
● Don't let missed benchmarks discourage you by making you feel inadequate about the progress you have made. The reality is, you will have delays, setbacks and even failures. Keep your focus on each task as it arises and remain mindful of what you've already accomplished.
● Frequently reassess your benchmarks and goals to make sure you are still moving in the appropriate direction. Circumstances, needs and resources change so make sure your ultimate goal and benchmarks continue to represent where you want to go and the best way to get there.
Set the stage for success by creating smaller tasks on which you can more easily focus and accomplish. Doing so helps you to more easily stay on task and accomplish more.
Sidecar Tuneup Tip: Developing the discipline to stay on task is the way to accomplish goals in the limited time sidecar drivers have to work your business.
Saturday Sidecar: Is It Important Or Is It Urgent?
Anyone who runs a sidecar knows the secret to keeping its engine humming smoothly is managing the constant influx of to-dos. You undoubtedly live and breathe by your to-do list – it's how you organize, prioritize and ultimately get it all done.
The key to prioritizing your to-dos is to establish a criteria as to which tasks have the greatest weight – and which ones can wait. How do you determine which of your to-dos need to be tackled before others when they all seem critical? It comes down to defining a couple terms that will help you determine how to most effectively allocate your time. You must distinguish between that which is important and that which is urgent.
This is an apt time to refer to dictionary.com for some definitions:
1. of much or great significance or consequence: an important event in world history.
2. mattering much (usually followed by to ): details important to a fair decision.
3. entitled to more than ordinary consideration or notice: an important exception.
1. compelling or requiring immediate action or attention; imperative; pressing: an urgent matter.
2. insistent or earnest in solicitation; importunate, as a person: an urgent pleader.
3. expressed with insistence, as requests or appeals: an urgent tone of voice.
Let's make the assumption that there are several items on your to-do list at any given time that you consider important. Determine which of them are either time-sensitive (of the "do it now" variety) or so critical that you will lose a client or damage a relationship if you don't complete it when promised. Those are your urgent to-dos, what we call fill or kill tasks in our office.
The other to-dos, which are no less critical, but lack that element of "do or die" are your important ones. They should be included on your to-do list as important and completed as soon as you are able.
When determining what is important and what is urgent, it's also important to be certain that you have a firm grasp of others' definition of important and urgent. For example, some people use the expression "as soon as possible" to mean, "as soon as you can get to it" (read, "important") while others mean, "as soon as humanly possible" (read, "urgent"). Personally, I opt for an expression such as, "at your earliest convenience" to distinguish between that on which I would appreciate action from that which is urgent. Whatever wording you prefer to use, make sure you give and hear the degree of importance/urgency accurately to avoid misunderstanding.
When operating your sidecar -
It is important to separate what is important from what is urgent.
It is urgent that you allocate your time accordingly.
Sidecar tuneup tip: Distinguishing between that which is important and that which is urgent will help you prioritize your workflow, keeping you on top of your sidecar tasks.
Saturday Sidecar: Is Specializing For You?
What do you do? It's a fundamental – and deceptively simple – question. It is, however, one of the most important questions to answer as you begin – and operate – your sidecar business, You need to have a decisive answer long before your clients begin asking. Fully exploring this question will help you define what you have to offer in the marketplace.
Does being a specialist suit your personality?
Determining what sets your business apart from others will help you to clarify your business' goals. This is an apt time to evaluate your strengths and decide whether you're a generalist or a specialist.
If you have specific talent, knowledge or experience to offer a particular customer base, think about specializing. It's well-worth your time and effort to consider because:
Specializing makes focusing on your sidecar easier. Specialists dig deep into their specialty, edging out the competition with only casual knowledge of your particular niche.
Specializing makes marketing easier. When your skill set is very specific, you can more easily attract those specific clients who need precisely what you offer.
Specializing allows you to charge a premium for your services. Clients are willing to pay more to hire a specialist because you bring expertise which makes you a valuable commodity.
To help you decide whether you are able to offer specialized services ask yourself these questions:
In your general field, what elements attract you most?
At what parts of your field do you excel?
At what parts of your field do you have specific knowledge or experience?
Are you a people-person or more of a loner?
Are you hands-on or more of a manager?
How do you like to work – with flexibility, or with structure?
How do you see those factors combining to help a particular group of clients?
Specializing may not be for everyone. There's no shame in being a generalist who may enjoy more varied work experiences and clients which suit their sidecar aspirations perfectly. Specializing is an exciting consideration, however, especially if you want to exercise specific skills or knowledge or desire to work with a particular group of clients.
Are you able to offer specialized services?
Sidecar tuneup tip: Specializing may be the way for you to set your business apart from the rest. Ask yourself these pertinent questions to determine if specializing is for you.

Interview with Nemanja VidicJune 12, 2010
On Serbia's Preparations:
We didn't have a great result against New Zealand, it was very disappointing and we have thought a lot about the mistakes we made, which is obviously very important to be able to improve our performances. We have been working hard to pick up our fitness, and eliminate these mistakes so we can achieve some good form in the tournament. It's much better for us to lose in the friendlies than in the World Cup!
Ghana's Rising StarJune 02, 2010
For those in the know, there's no question that Asamoah Gyan is going to be one of the big names to emerge from the World Cup in South Africa. Earlier this year, the striker fired the Black Stars to the African Cup of Nations final and now he intends to blow apart the defences of Serbia, Germany and Australia in Group E. Laid back as ever when we catch up with him at the Puma Unity Experience in Paris. Gyan talks to PUMAFootball about the great expectations of him, dreams of moving to a big club.

"Come to Portugal," says the fat man, and I'll get you the best of everything. Sitting in the bar of the Ghana team's luxurious hotel in Luanda, the injured Michael Essien looks up, listens and smiles politely. He hears this kind of offer from complete strangers a hundred times a day. After all, this is what it means to be a superstar footballer today: the fame, the fortune, the free stuff. And right now in Angola everyone is chasing those shiny baubles.

Didier Drogba is not afraid of much and that includes Emmanuel Eboué trying to stab him with a fork. Still that doesn't deter the mischievous full-back from trying to perforate his significantly bigger team-mate. Despite a sticky start to their Africa Cup of Nations thanks to a 0-0 draw with Burkina Faso, spirits are high in the Côte d'lvoire camp.

(Reuters) - World anti-doping body WADA has suspended the accreditation of a testing laboratory in 2016 Olympic host city Rio de Janeiro.
"WADA has suspended the accreditation of the LAB DOP - LADETEC / IQ - UFRJ Doping Control Laboratory (LADETEC) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil," a statement said on Friday.
"The suspension, which is effective as of August 8, 2013, prohibits the LADETEC from carrying out any WADA-related anti-doping activities."
No reason was given for the suspension of the facility but WADA said the laboratory had not met the International Standard for Laboratories (ISL).
The LADETEC laboratory can appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) within 21 days.

You don't owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don't owe it to your mother, you don't owe it to your children, you don't owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked "female".

Grant in familiar territory for Stormers
Peter Grant will be in what has become familiar territory for him when it comes to playing his own first appearance of the season for the DHL Stormers – in other words playing off the bench.
Stormers coach Allister Coetzee, perhaps mindful of the fact that Grant has only trained this week with his team and still has to get used to what appear quite significant adjustments to the game-plan, has opted to give loan player Elton Jantjies a second chance in Saturday's Vodacom Super Rugby derby against the Sharks at Kings Park.
He has made only one unenforced change to the team that lost 25-17 to the Vodacom Bulls in Pretoria last week, with Frans Malherbe earning a recall to the starting team for the Durban match in place of Pat Cilliers, who was disappointing in his Super Rugby debut for the Stormers.
The Springbok tighthead, who has played a lot of his best rugby as a replacement, will slot in on the bench alongside Grant.
The other change sees Joe Pietersen returning at fullback for Jaco Taute, who was also disappointing at Loftus but is ruled out because he sustained a groin injury in that match. None of the new players – Jantjies and Taute are on loan from the Lions while Cilliers has moved to the Cape permanently – impressed against the Bulls.
Pietersen's recall to the No 15 jersey means that the Stormers will have top-quality goalkicking back-up for Jantjies in the starting team, something that probably made it easier for Coetzee to play Grant off the bench rather than rushing him straight into the starting team now that his Japanese commitments with the Kobe Steelers are over.
In the past two seasons Grant has come onto the field late in his first game for the franchise and on both occasions he has been a match-winner – last year against the Sharks and the year before that against the Lions.
Coetzee will be hoping he can do so again, although he will also be hoping that Jantjies can deliver more than he did in Pretoria.
The stuttering backline display at Loftus – frankly the Stormers backs were way too predictable and ran the ball from too deep – introduced doubts over whether Coetzee would stick with the same group, and Grant's ability to attack the line from a flatter position might give him the edge over Jantjies in the long run.
There again, a look at the video of the Stormers/Bulls game has confirmed that it was invariably a forward, and not Jantjies, who was the first receiver at Loftus, so the deeper lining, which looks like a throwback to a bygone era, appears to be a strategy switch.
Time will tell whether a departure from the approach that saw them end in the top two on the log three years in a row is a wise move that will bring them success or a mistake that will send the Stormers down a precipitous path to a watery grave in Table Bay.
STORMERS TEAM: Joe Pietersen, Gio Aplon, Jean de Villiers (captain), Damian de Allende, Bryan Habana, Elton Jantjies, Nic Groom, Duane Vermeulen (vice-captain), Rynhardt Elstadt, Siya Kolisi, Andries Bekker, De Kock Steenkamp, Frans Malherbe, Deon Fourie, Steven Kitshoff.
Replacements: Martin Bezuidenhout, Pat Cilliers, Don Armand, Nizaam Carr, Louis Schreuder, Peter Grant, Gerhard van den Heever.
