Location description from owner
The Turkish Aegean Coast region
**Fethiye - Picturesque harbour and market town, with large yacht rental community!
Fethiye is an unspoilt resort with street markets, a busy bazaar area, and lively water front harbour (daily links during the summer to the Island of Rhodes, Greece) and a large marina.
As Turkey is not in the EU, the standard of living is a lot cheaper than the UK. Eating out is also very good value for money.
There is a huge market held on Tuesday and Fridays with endless food stalls along with clothes, leather goods, handbags, carpets, shoes, herbs & spices, Turkish delight, local lace and trinkets. Haggling with the stall holders is a must! This is the best and cheapest place to buy fruit, vegetables, spices, cheese etc. There is a central area where you can buy something to eat and drink, the chicken doner is fantastic, as are the local pancakes! Very reasonable prices as well.
**For fish lovers go to the nearby fish market where you can buy fresh fish daily. Restaurants around the market will cook it for you. There are two good butchers close to the fish market and a few fruit and vegetable stalls that are open daily.
**History in the area is endless, so great for sight seeing as well. Lycian tombs at Tlos and Telmessos, dating back to the 4th century BC, Dalyan mud baths and turtle beaches here and at Patara, Old Greek ghost town at Kayakoyu. There are also jeep safaris and a variety of other excursions to choose from. Local reasonably priced boat trips around the beautiful Fethiye bay are well worth the trip and usually include lunch in the price. Fethiye beach has various water sports to offer.
**Ovacik - Beautiful pine forests and countryside!
Ovacik is nestled in hills adjacent to Hisaronu and Olu Deniz lagoon - a place to go with flow, do whatever you want, whenever you want. This small area neighbouring Hisaronu is genuinely low key, chilled out - a place to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and absorb the epic mountain views. A wonderful start to mountain walks and views
**Hisaronu Weather
With a central locality on the Turquoise Coast of Turkey, Hisaronu features a typical Mediterranean climate with extensive, hot summers and mild winters.
Positioned at an elevation of more than 450m above sea level and situated at an altitude of high plateau at the foreland of the spectacular Bagadad Mountains, Hisaronu's climate remains slightly cooler (2 to 4Deg) and more refreshed than that in Olu Deniz, assuring year round low humidity levels and a pleasing climate.
The months of spring will commonly see loads of warm sunny weather, with a seasonal temperature averaging around 15°C and approximately eight hours of sunny weather per day. Activities such as walking and cycling are an enjoyable pleasure at this time of the year.
The climates gradually rise from an average of 18°C to 26°C, often peaking above 30°-35°C in mid summer. However, as a result of the high altitude the typical weather always remains three to four degrees cooler than that in the coastal resorts of Fethiye and Olu Deniz. The mountain breezes are particularly effective throughout July and August when the temperatures are at their highest. An average of thirteen hours a day sunlight throughout the summer months.
Autumn typically sees climates similar to that in spring with temperatures averaging between 15°C to 18°C and rainfall uncommon. Autumn will see plenty on sunshine right throughout the season.
The winter in Hisaronu is mild to cold,with average temperatures lingering at 9°C in December, and January and February can drop to as low as 6°C. Winter is very wet as the area receives around 1000mm of rainfall annually, mostly in January, February and March. Nevertheless there is at least five hours of warm sunshine
**Hisaronu - Friendly and Lively!
Hisaronu is an inland resort nestling in the cool, pine-clad mountains above the splendid beach of Olu Deniz; a regular dolmus service covers the 4 kilometres between the two resorts. In Hisaronu you will find bustling streets lined with shops, bars and restaurants, as well some lively night spots. Market day is on a Monday where you will find an abundance of souvenirs, leather foods, clothing and local produce.
**Olu Deniz - Beach front bars and restaurants
Just a 5 minute ride via dolmus will take you to Olu Deniz where you will find a beach edged with a magnificent turquoise lagoon and picturesque mountainscapes. Soak up the sun or if feeling more energetic experience various watersports. Daily boat tours around the 6 islands are very reasonable and wonderful photographs can be had.There are plenty of bars and resurants to relax, quench your thirst and watch the paragliders floating down on to the beach. The sunset is spectacular!!
** A ''must-have'' experience for the more adventurous is to enjoy the adrenaline rush of leaping from the top of Baba Dag mountain to paraglide over the lagoon. Soak up the once in a life time view's, before eventually landing on the sandy water's edge and a Cool beer!

"Greate apartment"
All kontakt med Warwick har vært bra. Han er rask til å svare og gir gode svar. Samarbeidet har vært bra. Vi, to voksne og tre barn, reiste fra Norge lørdag 8 juni. Vi landet i Antalya og leide bil for 2 uker. Vi brukte ca 3 timer i bil til Oludeniz. Fremme i Oludeniz fant vi fort Orka Hotel som ytte god service og fulgte oss til Orka Park hvor vi skulle bo. Orka Park er som bildene viser et kompleks med eneboliger og leiligheter. Basseng og bar/liten restaurnt driftes av Orka. Mat, renhold og service var bra. Leiligheten var stor, lys og fin. Vi hadde tre store soverom, stor stue, to bad og tre balkonger. Vi koste oss på balkongene morgen og kveld. Bra møblert, Veldig bra. Av inventar manglet vi ingenting. Med barn på 3, 8 og 10 år ble det til at vi sto opp tidlig. Vi hadde god frokost og gikk til bassenget til stor glede for barna. Aktiviteter i Oludeniz: Jeg (Ove) tok et utvidet paragliderkurs hos Sky Sports Paragliding og kan nå kalle meg pilot-P3 :) Kona (Tine) og eldste sønn (Mads) tok tandemtur med Sky Sports. Vår beste restaurant ble Cloud 9 hvor vi ofte hadde en sen middag. Vi kommer tilbake til neste år, og bestiller leilighet så snart vi får bekreftet flyforbindelse. Håper da denne leiligheten er ledig :) Takk for lånet Warwick. All contact with Warwick has been good. He is quick to respond and give good answers. Cooperation has been good. We, two adults and three children, traveled from Norway Saturday, June 8. We landed in Antalya and rented a car for 2 weeks. We spent about 3 hours in the car to Oludeniz. In Oludeniz we found Orka Hotel which offered every good service and accompanied us to Orka Park where we would stay. Orka Park is a complex of villas and apartments. The pool and bar / small restaurnt operated by Orka. Food, cleanliness and service was good. The apartment was large, bright and nice. We had three large bedrooms, large living room, two bathrooms and three balconies. We enjoyed the balconies morning and evening. Good furnished, Very good. We lacked nothing. With children at 3, 8 and 10 years we got up early. We had a good breakfast and went to the pool to the delight of the children. Activities Oludeniz: I (Ove) took an extended paragliding course at Sky Sports Paragliding and can now be called pilot-P3 :) Wife (Tine) and elder son (Mads) took tandem with Sky Sports. Our best restaurant was Cloud 9 where we often had a late dinner. We will return next year and book apartment as soon as we get confirmed connecting flight. We hope that this flat is free :) Thanks Warwick.
Ove many thanks for the review and the lovely comments. Congrats on the ''pilot'' certification, now you really HAVE to come back again!! Very happy that the family liked it all as well. Many thanks for time spent on the bilingual review, very kind of you! Look forward to seeing you all there next summer.
"Great apartment"
The apartment was great. It had everything we required for a fantastic, relaxing holiday. It's beautifully furnished, spacious, clean and well equipped. There'a a nice children pool, as well as large main pool with nice cool water. Views from all 3 balconies are beautiful. If you won't decide to try paragliding, which we did and had so much fun, at least get to the top of Babadag mountain, as the views are breathtaking. We have rented a car so we have visited lots of lovely beaches. Kabak beach is amazing. I must say that our overall experience was fantastic and very relaxing. We'll definitely return to the property again.
Very many thanks for the review. We are very pleased that it was what you expected and will hope to welcome you again in the future to Orka Park, No Y-4. Your Hosts, Warwick & Nadia.
"A perfect place"
We stayed 11 days on this beautiful location and never get bored. The apartment was "as advertised", everything you need you will find there. Even now, one week after departure we are yearning... It was like "home". A stunning view from balcony, moon rising from Babadag Mountains reflecting in pool's water, paragliding above those mountains... Definitely a place to remember, unforgettable memories...
Would like to thank you for the kind words and am glad that you found everything that you wanted. I will make sure that the kitchen utensils are added to for next years visitors. I know what you mean about the pool and the moon over the mountains really, really spectacular. Hope that we see you again in the future, best regards Warwick
"xcellent apartment, well maintained with everything provided to ensure a hassle free holiday"
We stayed in this apartment as a family of 2 adults and 4 children aged from 16 to 9. We booked in Feb before travelling in late June, communication was excellent between the owner and ourselves and we had no problems with booking and any queries were answered promptly. The property is situated in Ovacik on the mountainside which offers a cool breeze and stunning views. It sits on a small development maintained by ORKA who appear to be a major concern in the area owning the hotel which we had free access to and I seen a lot of advertising by them. the front of the property overlooks the pool and bar area and the rear looks over the town of Ovacik and Hisaronu , the sun rises at the front of the property and sets at the rear , this allows for some simply awe inspiring sunsets from the balcony adjoining the master bedroom. We opted to have transfers from the airport arranged when we booked the apartment, this all went very smoothly as a representative from ORKA met with us at the airport and provided us with cold drinks for the journey, on arrival at the property we found a reception that was manned 24hrs and we were shown the apartment and given brief instructions on working the essentials such as air-con etc. we were all pleased with how smoothly this all went as we arrived in the middle of the night. First impressions of the apartment were all good; it looks brand new in décor and furnishing and feels spacious. The main bedroom was adjacent to the living room, it was a good sized room with dressing table and slide robes and plenty of storage and mirrors and sockets and it had a balcony furnished with comfortable seating, there isn't much to look out at during the day but in the evening the sunsets are stunning. The bedroom was not ensuite but instead had a separate shower/toilet. I feel it was worth noting that all the bedrooms had decent mattresses' The other bedrooms were upstairs; one was a large double and the other a large twin. The double bedroom had good storage and a balcony area that overlooked the pool/bar area. The twin room had decent storage space but no balcony and only a small skylight window. Each bedroom had a good quality air-conditioning unit operated by remote control and very customisable. The rooms upstairs were split by a shower/toilet and masses of storage space in units spaced along the hallway again handy for the women as they had power points and mirrors. There was also a safe here. We were all happy with the sleeping space in particular the decent mattresses' and coolness offered by the air-con and the views from both the balconies. It may be worth noting that perhaps 2 adults would not enjoy the twin room due to lack of bay windows or balcony but it was perfect for the younger of the children. The living room was very spacious and gain had a large balcony adjacent with 6 seated suite for alfresco dining. It also has a large dining area inside with similar seating again nicely positioned by the bay windows overlooking the pool/bar area. It is worth noting that the living space and apartment in general was tastefully decorated giving a spacious, bright modern feel. The living room was also equipped with air-conditioning and a large TV with DVD and satellite, there was also a selection of DVDs and books in the case but we didn't use them. I had the TV on and there was a good selection of English channels, I was impressed with the Dubai racing channel as it showed the national hunt racing from UK and Ireland. There was two coffee tables both of which came in handy for leaving stuff and a large sofa with loads of cushions , between the sofa and dining table our party of 6 did not feel cramped at anytime. I was particularly impressed with the kitchen area; it was rear facing so again you had the stunning views of the sunset. It was equipped with a large American style fridge freezer, microwave, washing machine, toaster and kettle, everything you would need. The range of cookware impressed me, SHARP KNIVES! So many times I've stayed in apartments with useless cookware, credit must be given for quality knives and pots and cookware, makes it so much easier to cook a decent meal! Wide range of all the plates, bowls etc., everything one would need. The washing machine was In Turkish but we managed to work it out, that was handy too as meant we could get kids clothes washed. All in all I would find it hard to find fault with the apartment for our party size. Well maintained with everything we needed. It felt spacious and we had no problems whatsoever, a comfortable living space for the two weeks we were all there. The ORKA group who manage the site are very good too, our transfers and introduction by all the staff was fantastic and we felt looked after the entire time. We did use the ORKA hotel on occasion and some of the themed nights are well worth a visit, perhaps a bit expensive for the food but the entertainment and dancing is of a very high standard and worth the price. We did find the hotel pool fun with the slides for the kids but it's hard to find 6 sunbeds for a large group all together so we preferred the pool at the apartment, it was always nice and quiet and had a cool breeze coming off the mountain, also had a small bar which served snacks as well so it suited us better. Worth noting that the hotel runs a shuttle bus to and from the apartment, you just give them a call and they come collect you and return you when you want, also worth noting that a lot of places will do this! We went to sugar beach and kings restaurant both of which collected us and returned us. One thing I missed at the complex was a Wi-Fi connection however I was told they were waiting on it being installed so it's likely that it will be in use now. It should be noted that the location of the complex is at the top of a steep hill. This may put some off but it caused us no problems even with the young children, it's a dawdle walking down but harder coming up!! So if you have buggies or elderly folk then you should maybe cost in the taxi fare. We did not like the glare and noise of that Hisaronu place so we were happy to be in a complex that was perfectly quiet and peaceful, there are a small selection of bars on the walk into town, we only used one on the corner which was nice, It had Wi-Fi and I could have a beer while waiting on 5 women getting ready above! I suppose it would take you 5 minutes to walk to the dolmus on the way down and maybe 15 on the way up. We always walked down and just got a taxi back in the evening, around 10TL for the 6 of us. But there are the shuttle buses and most of the tours also pick you up and drop you off. I liked the location, it was very quiet yet only a short walk from town, it was high in the mountains so had a nice breeze and great views. Perhaps of benefit if I mention that we had never been to turkey before and give a brief view of the surrounding area. The town of Ovacik isn't really much, a few bars and restaurants and hotels but has a nice feel. Seems like it has kind of sprung up and developed as tourism has evolved. At the bottom of the hill from the apartment you have Hisaronu a short walk to the left, it's a mad place, not my cup of tea at all, if you like loud noise, neon lights and touristy tat then fill your boots, and it has all that with bells on. Blackpool in the sun. We did eat there and the teenagers loved it, couple of nice places we found but way over the top. If you get to the bottom of the hill and get a dolmus going left then a short journey takes you to oludeniz with the beach and a selection of beach bars and restaurants. It has a nice feel to it and it's hard not to enjoy a sundowner in buzz bar or terrace with the views! But again it has a lot of that neon stuff in one of the streets; I preferred the restaurants just off the main strips, also cheaper! Worth mentioning sugar beach, it's on the lagoon and pretty chilled out and quiet and spacious. But I felt like a walking pound sign in the place , I think it may have been the place to be many years ago when it was an honest beach bar but now I feel it's all about the money and a tad false. Still worth a day out anyways and make your own mind up! There's a few similar type places advertised on the lagoon. From the bottom of the hill you can go right which takes you to Fetiye , sadly I didn't get to spend as much time here as I would of liked , its seems like a great place , lot of good restaurants and more of an authentic feel to it. We only got to eat there twice but I was told of a fish market where you can buy your fish and take it to the restaurant to be cooked, that sounded a nice evening but we had the kids and they weren't interested in all that so sadly Fetiye wasn't explored as it should have been. There are lots of activities in the area, you won't be long being told about them when you venture from the calm of the apartment!! they are all very good and reasonable priced and a great day out, I really enjoyed the yachts, for around £100 you can charter your own cruiser around the islands or for £15 take a small boat tour, I found the diving best value, great little cruiser and only about 7 people on it, few secluded bays for a day's diving and lunch included. We did a lot of the tours and enjoyed them all with the exception of the dalyan mud baths. Oh and a last mention to the ghost village and some nice restaurants around there. All in all we had a very enjoyable time and appreciated the comforts of the apartment as a quiet and secluded base to both start and end the busy days. The area is packed with things to do and days out and for our group there was enough going on to keep everyone happy. I asked all the group and everyone said they loved the apartment and its location and the staff at the poolside and want to return again next year, so I would have no hesitation in recommending the property to potential customers.
I have to say that your review is really, really appreciated, particularily considering the time it must have taken you to write! Cannot thank you enough for the compliments! When we bought the apartment we wanted it to be a ''home from home'' for our guests and hoped that out taste and our quality requirements would be well received. We know that holidays are a precious commodity in our stressful day and age. It would appear that our hopes have been justified! Again many thanks for the lovely thoughts and the great recommendation. Hope to see you all back again next year!
"A fantastic apartment!"
What a fantastic apartment! A lovely spacious 3 bedroom apartment with every amenity you could want. The pool area was fantastic, especially as there was such a big pool and often we were the only ones in it! Whilst the property is a fair walk out of town the fact it is up in the mountains means the breeze is a welcome relief from the heat of the town centre, and taxis are cheap so it doesnt really matter! I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone that wants a place to have a quiet peaceful stay during the day but want to be close enough to two fantastic busy resorts in the evening.
Really pleased that you and your party liked the Complex and the area. As you mentioned everything is very close, but the complex is in a quiet section of the town. Thanks for the review and hope to see you all back again in the future!
"chillaxing late break"
We stayed at the apartment in late october. We arrived in the early hours and the transfer bus was waiting as promised, despite the unsocial hour the driver made a stop for us to pick up water and other essentials so that we could have a drink when we arrived, very helpful. Our first impression of the apartment was wow, it was very well appointed and everything you could possibly need was provided, only small critism was that all the instruction manuals provided were in Turkish, with no English translation so it was a bit of a laugh trying to fathom how to get things to work, that said the staff on site were very helpful and assisted. The setting is beautiful and very peaceful, many of the apartments are yet to be occupied so on some days we had the terrace around the pool to ourselves. The pool was freezing and really took your breath away, such a shame as such a wonderful pool went unused after the first brave dip by the youngest of our party. The location is ok, its a bit of a cardiac hill to walk up and down to get to the main street but for those who cant or wont atempt the walk there is a taxi call point at the entrance gates and the taxis are very reasonable. A short dolmus ride is the beach of Olu Deniz and the Blue Lagoon, well worth a trip to, although not on the week we were there as it was the annual air sports competion and we were buzzed by motorised paragliders all afternoon, oh how I wished I had a giant mosquito splatter!!! I would definately recommend this apartment as we had a really lovely late holiday there.
Very many thanks for the review and we are really pleased that you had a relaxing time and enjoyed the quiet, the decor and facilities. As you say unfortunately the pool is not heated and October can get a little cool. We hope to be able to host you or your friends again in the not too distant future and thanks again for the constructive comments, We'll definitely get a translated copy of the instructions for future guests.
"Fabulous apartment, location too high up."
I was fortunate enough to stay at the apartment for almost three weeks this Agust and I have to say that the facilities were exceptional. The accomodation can only be described as first class as the owner has certainly pulled out all the stops to create the ideal holiday home. It comes with everything you could wish for to make your holiday as stress-free as possible. All the bedrooms are equipped to the highest standard as is the kitchen and lounge area. The pool is very large but there is a seperate part for younger children. I was a little surprised, however, to find that some residents adopted the German trick of claiming their sunbeds before the sun actually rose and then did not take up their 'reserved' spots until at least after midday! It is my honest opinion that this apartment probably boasts the best positionon the complex. The only downside is the location as it is quite far up a rather steep mountain which in my opinion would render the apartment unsuitable to anyone with a mobility problem. There are however a number of watering places along the way to the complex so one can always break up the journey back and take in the odd Efes or four!
Great to hear that you really enjoyed the apartment and that it met your expectations! We hope that you'll be back again and that many more like you will enjoy the quiet, the pool and the fabulous views. Sorry about the walk, but as you say its a good excuse for an ''Effes'' or two on the way home!!
"Excellent Apartment, would highly recommend!"
We stayed in this apartment from July 19th until August 2nd and had a fantastic holiday! When we arrived at the apartment we were welcomed by the smell of beautiful fresh flowers and a welcome note left by the owner. The apartment is furnished beautifully and is very modern. There is three balconys, two of which look over the pool area and the other over Babadag mountains, where we enjoyed the view of the spectacular sunset in the evening. The apartment is very spaceous which was ideal for our party of 6 adults and 2 children. There is lots of storage space! The apartment is cleaned regulary by a cleaner. The pool is excellent, very clean and very big! The Orka Club Hotel also provided a mini bus service to take us to the hotel where we could use their pool and slides, restaurant, interent, hairdressers and shop. There is a restaurant close to the hotel which I would highly recommend called "Rockpool" which serves excellent food! The location of the apartment itself isn't very great however there is a taxi service right outside! A taxi to Hisaronu is only 5 minutes away and costs only £4 where there is lots of shops, restaurants and bars/nigtclubs. The "Butterfly restaurant" is one to visit. A taxi to OluDeniz is about 10 minutes away and costs £8 where there is more shops, restaurants and a few bars, it also has a lovely beach. Overall, I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone, you will definatly enjoy your stay and we hope to be back in comming years! Many Thanks to Warwick!
Loved your comments and many thanks for the lovely review. Hope that you do make it back in the future! We'll be waiting for you all!!

Justin Worley used full array of targets in opener
Tennessee running back Jalen Hurd caught a screen pass and found his way through several defenders for a 15-yard touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter.
After the score, Justin Worley walked off the field with a simple thought on his mind.
"We've got some playmakers," UT's senior quarterback recalled saying as he arrived on the sideline.
Tennessee coach Butch Jones craves playmakers and he saw some in action during UT's 38-7 win over Utah State at Neyland Stadium on Sunday.
The offensive highlight reel featured a swing pass to Josh Smith for 38 yards, a bubble screen to Von Pearson for a shifty 14-yard touchdown and the dump-off to Hurd, who sliced his way to the end zone.
Each play energized UT's offense and a sellout crowd without requiring heroics from Worley, who pieced together one of his best games by spreading the football amongst a group of skill players that is deeper than a year ago.
"Knowing that I don't have to force a deep ball for us to make a splash play is huge," Worley said. "Being able to throw a bubble to Josh Smith or Pig (Howard) and have them take it 40 yards, that builds my confidence and helps our offense run a little smoother too."
Worley hit 10 different UT targets in his first 12 completions while the game remained tight in the first half. Only once in 2013 did 10 players catch a pass in a game for the Vols, and that came in a 45-0 season-opening rout of Austin Peay when reserves played extensively.
UT (1-0) struggled to connect on deep passes and failed to run the ball consistently Sunday but kept the Aggies defense on its heels at times as nine players made a catch of 12 yards or longer.
"We've got depth, that's what it means," said Pearson, a junior receiver. "We've got some depth out there. I feel like we've got the big, the small, the speed, the quick. We've got it all. So he (Worley) is just giving us a look and giving us touches so we can work with it."
Worley attempted a career-high 38 passes. Howard threw an incomplete pass on a trick play and backup quarterback Nathan Peterman attempted UT's 40th pass of the game in mop-up duty. Last season, the Vols attempted 40 or more passes in a game just once.
Jones said he would offer a better assessment of the UT running game that averaged just 2.8 yards per carry after he reviews the Utah State game film, but he seemed content with what he saw from the air attack.
Jones is scheduled to meet with the media Tuesday as the Vols begin preparation for a meeting with Arkansas State (1-0) on Saturday (TV: SEC Network, noon)
"I thought our receivers, for the most part, did a good job of catching the football," Jones said. "They made some really good catches to extend drives and we haven't had that in the past, so it was great to see."
Three tight ends contributed five catches and Jones referred to their play as "a great starting point" after the position generated just 15 receptions in 2013. True freshman Ethan Wolf started at the position Sunday and appeared composed in his debut, catching three passes for 26 yards.
"We've got a lot of talented guys out on the edge and a very talented line as far as giving Justin time to get to all his reads," Wolf said. "Our run game is going to get there and we're going to be able to attack whichever way we want."

A systems integrator creates a stand-alone printing app that leads to printer sales and six-digit recurring revenue from consumables.
This solutions provider created a custom shelf labeling system that can now be sold to its grocery customers.
One thing became very clear by the time this year's CompTIA ChannelCon ended — this is an organization every VAR, MSP (managed services provider), integrator, and solutions provider should leverage. CompTIA is probably best known for its certifications, and it's due to those certifications and the revenue they bring in that the nonprofit can afford to so generously serve the IT community.
Healthcare IT continues to evolve and change, and IT solutions providers in this vertical need to address the challenges their clients face as they try to keep up with standards, regulations, and trends.
How were the Best Channel Vendors survey and special report generated? For a seventh consecutive year, we relied on the wisdom and experience of Penn State University to help ensure the survey's statistical accuracy. Back in 2009, Penn State agreed with our philosophy of conducting a Web-based survey (as opposed to a phone-solicitation survey) of our subscribers to capture significant data from our most active resellers. The technology categories were determined by the Business Solutions magazine (BSM) editorial staff.
A four-year-old integrator lands a 400+ vehicle mobile solutions project with the largest beer distributor in Texas.
This integrator's ability to respond to customers' needs for mobile solutions that require a combination of consumer and rugged devices was the key to last year's 30 percent revenue growth and a projected 50 percent revenue growth this year.
What makes you and your company different? Is it your people? Is it how much you care about your customers? Is it all the training you have and industry certifications? Is it the solutions you offer?
As you might know, we've dedicated many pages to educating readers on the value of a managed services model. While the benefits can be great, there also can be some significant hurdles to clear before you sail off into the sunset. Many established MSPs have stories about adopting certain aspects of the model, while ignoring other aspects. This can delay or stifle your success on this model and potentially poison people into thinking that the model isn't all it's cracked up to be.
If you've been reading Business Solutions magazine (BSM) for the past couple years, you know that we believe strongly in the power of recurring revenue via the as-a-Service model. Recurring revenue is predictable and stable and can help your business reach new heights. Unfortunately, there are many obstacles you'll probably have to overcome. We want to help. In fact, it's our mission.

Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Dr Nasim Ashraf has dismissed umpire Darrell Hair's apparent decision to sue his organisation and the International Cricket Council as "opportunism".
Hair is reportedly ready to sue the ICC and PCB for racial discrimination after the world governing body decided in November that the Australian umpire would not be selected for international matches involving full members - the 10 major Test-playing nations.
Hair was at the centre of last summer's historic forfeited Test match between England and Pakistan at The Oval.
The tourists staged a sit-in protest at the decision of Hair and fellow umpire Billy Doctrove to replace the match ball, effectively accusing them of illegal tampering.
Pakistan's refusal to take the field eventually resulted in the Test becoming the first ever to be forfeited.
Hair then offered to resign as an elite umpire in return for US dollars 500,000, while Pakistan were later cleared of ball tampering at an ICC hearing.
While fellow umpire, West Indian Billy Doctrove, has returned to the game Hair has not stood in a Test match since, but is umpiring today's ICC World Cricket League Division One final between Kenya and Scotland in Nairobi.
According to the BBC, Hair claims the PCB "unlawfully induced" the ICC to ban him last year.
The ICC would not comment on the report this morning.
However, Ashraf told BBC Radio Four's Today programme: "I am just simply outraged. I can't believe it, this is adding insult to injury. Race has nothing to do with this.
"Mr Hair was removed from the elite panel of umpires by the full ICC board which has many countries including England and Australia which are non-white.
"I am just flabbergasted. This is the most preposterous thing I've heard, when our lawyer told me we had received a letter from his solicitors accusing the ICC of racial discrimination and naming the Pakistan Cricket Board as a party to this issue.
"Mr Hair was removed from the ICC panel of umpires because of his bad umpiring and poor judgement.
"I think this is probably another manifestation of Mr Hair's mental status.
"I daresay it sounds almost as if he's not only just very impetuous or stubborn, if he made a mistake a man should have stood up and said 'I made a mistake'.
"For him earlier to have also asked for a half a million dollars during the incident and saying 'look, give me this money and I will simply walk away', and now suing the ICC and naming the PCB as a party for racial discrimination, smacks to me of another bit of, perhaps, opportunism."
Ashraf claimed Hair's belief that Doctrove received fairer treatment as laughable.
"That is even worse. I read that and just laughed out aloud because it is crass for him to say a black West Indian umpire was let off when he was a white man therefore he was charged. This (race) has nothing to do with it. Mr Hair was the senior umpire and he actually took over that Oval cricket match. I was present there.
"We have brought to the ICC even before, many instances in which Mr Hair had almost brought Test cricket into disrepute by making decisions that were impetuous, hasty, ill-considered and without any basis of fact. And that is why ultimately he had it coming from his umpiring standpoint."Reuse content

The available data of AAV vectors in the clinic emphasize the importance of continued optimization efforts at the levels of the AAV capsid, genome and transgenic cassette. A focus of this proposal is to derive clinical AAV vector best suited for systemic disorders (MPS, Hurlers, etc.). At the capsid level, it is apparent that animal models do not always predict the human outcome and that more efficient human specific capsids are required to achieve a lower administered dose.
In Aim 1, we seek to create a new paradigm of AAV vector selection for human transduction by generating the first AAV receptor expression map on tissues of mouse, primate and human origin. This tissue specific AAV receptor Atlas will be overlaid with AAV binding and transduction data in an effort to tease out regions of the capsid important for tissue specific interactions in varied backgrounds. In addition novel chimeric capsids isolated from a directed evolution strategy on primate and human livers established in a mouse model will be triaged against our receptor/binding atlas to determine if in vitro binding correlates to in vivo results. Then, capsid isolates from a primatized-liver mouse model will be investigated for primate liver transduction in vivo to determine if this strategy represents a valid method to derive primate (human &non human) liver specific AAV capsids. At the level of the AAV genome, we have assembled a panel of DNA repair dependent AAV substrates that report critical aspects of genome persistence including circularization, concatemerization and homology directed annealing. Investigations of these reagents in mutant backgrounds defective in different DNA repair pathways will offer insights into the preferred reliance on homologous recombination and non-homologous end joining mechanisms in vitro and in vivo providing a better prediction of vector performance in diseased settings (Aim 2). At the level of the vector transgene, we demonstrate in mouse liver, heart and eye a novel method to induce transgene synthesis using the IVS2- 654 intron and an anti-sense oligonucleotide. The work herein seeks to generate smaller synthetic variants that exhibit tighter control as well as altered transgene expression levels, thus providing a panel of regulatory switches which can be tailored for specific applications. Finally, a strategy is proposed to engineer an "off" switch for the induced transgene synthesis from IVS2-654, which may also allow the precise tuning of transgene synthesis at a fixed vector dose. Collectively, the results of the proposed experiments seek to address the observed clinical deficiencies in AAV gene therapy applications for diseases of systemic nature by our continued optimization efforts at the levels of the capsid and genome as well as the transgenic DNA cassette.
The proposed experiments seek to enhance viral based DNA delivery vectors for the treatment of human disease. To do this we will establish a new paradigm in which the observed variations in delivery efficiency between humans and animal models are better understood. In addition we seek to enhance AAV vectors at the DNA level for enhanced delivery efficiency, by further understanding the mechanism of genome persistence and expression. Finally, a molecular on- off switch will be engineered and incorporated into our viral delivery format to control therapeutic protein expression in the clinical setting.

Two Thoroughbred Sales Companies Banning Steroids as of January
- Nov 15, 2007
- Topics:
Keeneland Association and Fasig-Tipton Co. officials jointly announced Nov. 15 that the policy regarding exogenous anabolic steroids will be implemented for weanlings and yearlings beginning with their 2008 sales.
Keeneland and Fasig-Tipton-the world's largest and North America's oldest Thoroughbred auction houses, respectively-have taken the position that no exogenous (those not generated by a horse's system) anabolic steroids be administered within 45 days of sale.
Beginning in January 2008, the buyer of a weanling or yearling can request that testing be performed at the time of purchase. If the sale horse tests positive for exogenous anabolic steroids, the buyer will have the right, within 24 hours of notification, to rescind the sale.
"This is not a competitive issue; this is an integrity issue," Nick Nicholson, president and chief executive officer of Keeneland, and Walt Robertson, president of Fasig-Tipton, said in a joint statement. "By establishing a policy, and developing testing procedures that are practical and fair to all involved, we safeguard the credibility of the entire Thoroughbred industry."
The move comes as various racing jurisdictions in the United States are considering model rules governing the use of anabolic steroids in racehorses. Keeneland and Fasig-Tipton, however, are the first national Thoroughbred auction companies to call for a policy regarding exogenous anabolic steroid use in sale horses.
The Kentucky Horse Racing Authority has discussed but not adopted steroid regulations. Still, the two sale companies will implement their own policy as private entities.
According to a Nov. 15 release, the policy will be implemented as follows:
- The buyer has the right to request, at the time of purchase, that blood be drawn to test for the presence of exogenous anabolic steroids;
- The respective sale company will coordinate testing with a designated veterinarian and report the results of those tests to the consignor and buyer in a timely manner;
- If the sale horse tests positive for exogenous anabolic steroids, the buyer has the right, within 24 hours of notification, to rescind the sale and return the horse to the consignor;
- The buyer will bear the $500 cost of the test; however, if the test results are positive, the cost will shift to the consignor.
Exogenous anabolic steroids, which are federally controlled substances classified for therapeutic use in racing and sale horses in the U.S., remain under review by the Racing Medication and Testing Consortium. Keeneland and Fasig-Tipton formed a committee comprised of representatives from the two sale companies, the Consignors and Commercial Breeders Association, local veterinarians, and leading authorities on steroids and drug testing, to establish a policy for sale horses.
The steroid regulations will take effect at the same time as new auction-integrity rules formulated by the Sales Integrity Task Force.

We spent 4 nights here this summer, and it has been nothing but fantastic. The hosts are sweeter than your own mom and will give you hints of where to go on small daily trips nearby. The villa is amazing and the view is beyond imagination. I went straight home and told my parents to go here next summer. Privacy, relaxation, vino rosso, a beautiful view and a very cute dog will meet you here.

I stayed in both the Colonial Suite and the Summer House... Gary and Jen took care of me, even let me borrow their tools, made sure I had everything I need and made me feel more cared for and special than I can remember feeling perhaps ever! Their conversation and insights made me want to stay in Solcio so that we could be friends! I loved curling up in the window seat of the summer house, eating on the balcony looking over the lake, watching some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets imaginable. This place in incomparable. I left less than a day ago and I am already wracking my brain for a way to return or friends that I could send...

Summerhouse was perfect. We enjoyed our stay due to the warm welcome of Garry and Jenny. Great evening in the Bar with the hosts and other guests from Florida. Very good Location.

From the views (stunning!) to the quaint (but spacious!) rooms, and the incredible surroundings...all outstanding. But most importantly, and making this a most special visit to Lago Maggiore, are Gary and Jenny. These generous and caring hosts know no boundaries when providing you with the best, and friendliest, service imaginable. There is simply nothing that one could say is missing from this amazing stay. We will be back!

We've just returned from a stay at this little bit of heaven on earth! A visit to Villa san Antonio should not be missed if you are planning a trip to Lake Maggiore. Our stay from start to finish was absolutely faultless. Dear Jenny & Garry are such lovely hosts, welcoming their guests with a genuine warmth and generosity you would most definately fail to find in in any top hotel. Attention to detail to ensure a comfortable and relaxing stay is certainly achieved. One highlight was waking to the beautiful lake view through wide open windows with the fragrance of jasmine flowers wafting on the air, all this without even getting out of bed.

Davvero un bel posto!! Gary &Jenny unici !!! il panorama... mozzafiato!!Molto romantica la Summerhouse che gode di una vista sul lago da sogno!!che dire è il posto ideale per rilassarsi e rigenerarsi godendosi i giardini ben curati e il cinguettare degli uccelli e dei gabbiani in lontananza!

We spent a lovely week at the villa in late August this year.- We had first planned to stay there for only 2-3 days, but decided to stay a whole week. We chose the Summer House and were very happy with our choice. Amazing views from your private balcony and very cute inside. Our breakfasts, served on a beautiful patio with Lago Maggiore below us, were lovingly prepared by our hosts and simply delicious. Reaching Solcio was super-convenient: We arrived at Milan (Malpensa Airport) where we had booked a direct air-conditioned bus to Solcio (less than an hour's ride at a very low rate). We found we did not miss having a car, as we could walk down to two good restaurants in Solcio and/or use local transportation to nearby Strea and Arona. Our hosts, Jenny and Gary, took excellent care of us during our stay and we will definitely return in the future.

My husband and had a wonderful stay at Villa San Antonio and we were sad that we had only booked one night before heading on to Verona. We were touched by the warmth and kindness Gary and Jenny showed us. What better way to start the day than with a swim followed by a scrumptious breakfast with a gorgeous view! We look forward to coming back and spending more time with you both...maybe with some music at the piano bar?! Thank you for everything!

What a find! The boyfriend had organised the flights so my job was the accommodation....it had to be something super special for our first time away together....and I FOUND IT! We stayed in the Summerhouse, which was a romantic little hideaway with a lovely terrace with views over the lake....it was pretty much exactly what you would want for a romantic get-away. On top of that we had such lovely hosts in Gary and Jenny, it was a real pleasure to meet them. We even had stunning weather and the Lake Maggiore area was a perfect place to go for lots of fun, swimming in the lake and loads of gelato. A fantastic find....but dont tell everyone as we would like to be able to go again and have our Summerhouse! Enjoy - you wont go wrong with this one!

We have spent only 1 night in this villa, but we'll never forget it. Arriving late, Jenny and Gary took time to have a glass with us and discuss friendly. Everything is great : the lasagnas prepared by Jenny for our dinner, the house, the balcony, the vue, the Gary's old cars, the music, the bed, the bathroom... But the best are Jenny and Gary.

I'm not reviewing, just making some personal observations.
Long story short, if the Momentum is uncomfortable, then try the Nado Hp 50s.
I think at its current price, the HD 558 is a better buy than the HD 598, is a richer, fuller sound to my ears, though a tad less refined than the HD 598.
1. Open Back headphone listening at home - I really like and prefer the Sennheiser HD 600. It is rich and resonant, yet not overly warm, as can be the case with the Momentum and HD 650.
For mobile listening, I like the Momentum.
For something to listen to while snowblowing outside, I like the Panasonic HPX7, they are only 30 bucks, and the infamous mod takes that nasty mid range hump away.
The HD 25 is on sale now, at least last I checked, and that would be a good durable dj phone, but if you th
ink the Momentum is uncomfortable .......
The pads kill me m8. The main proble is not the confort, is the fit.
I have 67 mm years wich is not much bigger than average and still its a veeeeeery tight fit. They fit but yhe proble is that it is really easy to loose the seal. If i turn my head on a 90 degree angle or more for example i can easily tell that i loose a bit of seal because it is noticeable on the bass and that kind of anoys me in addition to the tight fit. They are nor the most unconfortable pair ever but after 45 minutes my ears start to ache a bit. If it was not the fit and loss of seal the momentums would not go anywhere because they bettter than the hd25s in every way.
About the home headphones i am still a bit confused about wich one to get. I was leaning to the k550s because they seem to have a bit more bass and also are easier to drive since i mostly use my ipod touch 4g.

All three species of maple have deep, slow growing root systems so they
should be excellent for providing shade for hostas and not compete too
much with their roots. Unfortunately they also are all slow growing
trees, so it is going to take a while before they provide adequate shade.
By the way, very few nurseries carry Acer circinatum and Acer tschonoskii
ssp. koreana. May I ask where you found them?

2001 Toyota MR2 Spyder Repair and Maintenance Costs
A guide to repairs, service, and maintenance costs for your 2001 Toyota MR2 Spyder

2001 Toyota MR2 Spyder ProblemsTiming chain/sprockets may need replacement due to wear and problems with VVTi
Occasionally the timing chain and sprockets need replacement due to premature wear and problems with the variable valve timing system (VVTi).
The timing chain tensioner is designed to use oil pressure to keep tension on the timing chain. When it develops a leak, it can no longer provide tension, and the timing chain will begin to make a slapping or rattling sound at all times.
If left in this condition, the timing chain may fail, leading to costly internal engine repair.
To correct this issue the timing chain tensioner must be replaced with the revised part.
Manual transmission models of the MR2 Spyder tend to slip out of gear while driving. This is because the bushings that support the shift lever wear out very quickly, and prevent the shifter from placing the vehicle firmly in gear.
The remedy for the issue is to replace the bushings.
If left unchecked, the transmission may be subject to undue and premature wear.

Clean, plant-powered fuel so you can take on any sport. Be your best from start to finish.
Achieve peak performance in sports and exercise. Utilize the entire PhytoSport collection to promote increased endurance and energy, while also supporting blood flow and oxygen to muscles, thereby helping to support post-exercise recovery.
Will recommend
PhytoSport to others
Will continue using PhytoSport to support their performance
Agreed that PhytoSport improved their performance
Said they were very satisfied with all three PhytoSport products
Data based on consumer perception after a 60 day home-use trial of PhytoSport products by 25 Arbonne Independent Consultants, Arbonne employees, and friends. These participants used all three Arbonne PhytoSport products over the course of their training and exercise routines for 60 days and provided information on their experiences using the products and how their performance improved and how they felt overall. Below is a sampling of some of the responses we received from the participants:
"My stamina absolutely has increased. My relative body strength has improved."
"I have improved in my longevity while pitching on my college baseball team. I see a tremendous amount of focus and stamina."
"I have more strength and endurance than ever during my training. I am definitely going faster on the treadmill workouts."
"I Love the boost of energy that I get, and it sustains through my entire workout!"
"This product is my favorite. I use it for my longer and harder exercises (mountain biking, trail runs and hot yoga)."
"Sometimes I have a little lower energy after big workouts and this definitely helped my recovery for that day as well as for my workouts the next day!"
Data based on consumer perception after a 60 day home-use trial of PhystoSport products by 25 Arbonne Independent Consultants, Arbonne employees, and friends.
Prepare & Endure delivers carbohydrates, ribose and L-carnitine to support energy and help prevent the "crash" when you don't have the fuel you need.
Complete hydration delivers a combination of 6 electrolytes to support optimal hydration for proper muscle and cell function, and to replenish electrolytes lost during exercise.
Formulated without gluten and artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners. Certified Drug Free by the Banned Substances Control Group. Learn more
Pomegranate (Punica granatum) contains specific compounds called punicalagins that act as antioxidants to help to quench free radicals generated from activity.
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) supports joints and provides antioxidant protection.
PhytoSport Blend (Ginseng, Cayenne & Turmeric)
Contains an exclusive blend of botanicals featuring cayenne (Capsicum annuum L.), ginseng (Panax ginseng) and turmeric (Curcuma longa) to support circulation, joint comfort, and physical performance, as well as offering antioxidant protection.
Arginine and Citrulline
Arginine and citrulline help support nitric oxide levels in the blood that help support blood flow, which in turn helps transport oxygen and nutrients to tissues, and waste products away from tissues to be excreted.
Amino acids
Amino acids help increase cellular energy output.
Carnitine is an essential component of "the carnitine shuttle," which is the transport of fatty acids through the membranes of the cells to be burned for energy. It assists with breaking down fat and converting it to energy.
Ribose is a component of ATP, the energy currency of the cell.
Vitamin B-12
Vitamin B-12 helps your body metabolize carbohydrates, proteins and fats, as well as support the formation of red blood cells.
Magnesium helps maintain proper muscle function and is a factor in maintaining good health.
Sodium assists in maintaining appropriate fluid levels in the body and helps replenish electrolytes that have been lost during exertion.
Potassium aids in muscle contraction and is essential for maintaining a healthy fluid balance.
Branched-chain amino acids
Branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine help support muscle repair, alleviate exercise induced muscle soreness and promote recovery from normal exercise-induced muscle damage.
Calcium and magnesium
Calcium and magnesium support muscle function and recovery.
Q. Do I have to use all three Arbonne PhytoSport products?
A: The PhytoSport products were created as a system of products to support specific steps involved with workouts and exercise. To help provide the optimal amount of support before, during and after your workout, we recommend using all three PhytoSport products.
Q. What is the difference between Complete Hydration and Arbonne Essentials® Energy Fizz Sticks?
A: Complete Hydration is formulated with a blend of 6 electrolytes to help support hydration of cells and osmosis. Electrolytes are needed for the body to properly regulate cell hydration. This is especially important during and after engaging in activity, as sweating can flush these electrolytes out of the body. Energy Fizz Sticks do not contain ingredients to optimize hydration in the body, but instead delivers botanicals with naturally derived caffeine and B vitamins to help deliver a boost of energy.
Q. Is After Workout mixed only with water?
A: After Workout is formulated so it can either be mixed with water or can be added to your Arbonne Essentials® Protein Shake.
Q. How do I benefit from adding After Workout to the Arbonne Essentials Protein Shake?
A: After Workout delivers important branched-chain amino acids and polyphenol antioxidants to support muscle recovery and antioxidant protection. By adding After Workout to your Protein Shakes, you obtain an additional 20 grams of protein, as well as over 20 vitamins and minerals. This extra protein can be beneficial to those who want to build more muscle mass or those engaging in strenuous activity daily, or multiple times daily.
Q. What is the BSCG certification logo?
A: BSCG stands for Banned Substance Control Group. This independent certifying body tests all batches of Arbonne PhytoSport products to ensure that there are no ingredients or substances currently found on the banned for sport substance list. Athletes can feel 100% comfortable knowing there are no ingredients in Arbonne PhytoSport products that would appear on banned substances lists for athletes.
Q. Are there specific sports or activities that PhytoSport products are recommended for?
A: No, PhytoSport products have balanced formulas, making them ideal for people engaging in sports and activities of all ranges.
Q. Can I mix Complete Hydration with my Protein Shake, Full Control or Energy Fizz Sticks?
A: Complete Hydration is ideal to drink before, during and after physical activity. We recommend consuming it separately from Arbonne Essentials Protein Shakes and Full Control. However, if you would like to mix Complete Hydration or Prepare & Endure with Arbonne Essentials Energy Fizz Sticks, feel free to do so.

San Diego Unified's New Budgeting Approach
Original post made by Stacey, Amberwood/Wood Meadows, on Dec 21, 2009

"the board will determine what it needs to fund before it decides what it needs to cut.
"It's a new way of looking at the budget," said board Vice President John Lee Evans. "We are starting at the bottom and asking, 'What is essential? What do want need to fund?' We are not starting at the top and subtracting until we balance the budget.""
"The school board is encouraging parents and residents to contact their state representatives to demand that education funding be given top priority."

Regardless of the method, I can't help believe that cutting excessive "Administrative expenses" would go a long way in alleviating the pain the educational system is experiencing. Yes, FAT does roll up hill.

A great Leap Day idea moves forward

Businessman yet champion of workers' rights, inventor, educator, government official, philanthropist, keen student of Shakespeare and – at the very end of his life – an improbable media baron, Sidney Harman was a veritable renaissance man of modern America.
Harman gave the first serious display of his entrepreneurial mettle as a young engineer, working in New York for a maker of public address systems. He and a colleague, Bernard Kardon, wanted the company to develop an improved sound system for ordinary homes. Their boss wasn't interested, so the pair quit, raised $10,000, and in 1953 set up Harman-Kardon Inc, manufacturer of the world's first integrated hi-fi system.
The product was an instant winner: "Nobody had ever heard anything like that in his living room," Harman told an interviewer years later. When Kardon sold out, Harman ran the company himself, taking it into new fields that included microphones and amplifiers, as well as car stereo and home theatre systems. By the time he finally retired in 2007 its annual sales topped $3.5bn, and his personal fortune in 2010 was estimated by Forbes magazine at $500m.
But Harman was never one to rest on his laurels. In August 2010, on the eve of his 92nd birthday, he bought the venerable but moribund Newsweek magazine from the Washington Post. The purchase – for a sum of $1, plus the assumption of $47m worth of debt – caused much astonishment and was against the advice of almost everyone he consulted. "I've been preparing for this for nearly a century," Harman joked to Donald Graham, chairman of the Post company. "I'm in this to have a helluva good time... I'm not in this to make money."
But the development of hi-fi and the acquisition of a national news magazine were only bookends of a hugely varied career spanning seven decades. Even as he was building up his company, Harman was active in the burgeoning civil rights movement and was a vocal opponent of theVietnam War. For a year in the 1960s he taught black students in a ruralVirginia county, after local officials had closed public schools rather than desegregate them. Between1968 and 1973 he ran an experimental Quaker college on Long Island, and also found time to earn a doctoratein education.
His managerial style was equally innovative. Harman was a firm believer that the better their conditions, the better workers would perform. For some, Harman's introduction of flexible hours, special training and new incentives for employees at one Tennessee plant was naïve idealism. Others, though, regarded him as a visionary. Among those whose eye he caught was the incoming president Jimmy Carter, who in 1977 made Harman his under-secretary of commerce.
Harman served little more thana year, but long enough to meet a White House lawyer named Jane Lakes,27 years his junior. They married in 1980, and she went on to become a prominent Democratic Congresswoman, serving nine terms and rising to become her party's ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee. In 1998 Jane Harman ran unsuccessfully for governor of California in a campaign largely financed by her husband. She retired from the House in January 2011 to head a Washington think-tank.
In his later years, Sidney Harman became one of the city's leading supporters of the arts, as a major benefactor of the prestigious Phillips Collection, and donating $20m for construction of Sidney Harman Hall, new home of Washington's highly regarded Shakespeare Theatre Company. Nothing, though, prepared for the surprise of his purchase of Newsweek, by then losing $20m a year. Without Harman's intervention, the magazine would almost certainly have gone under. He had no experience in the media industry, but no matter: "He's a man who needs a project," his daughter Barbara said at the time.
The project did not stop with the purchase. Harman pushed the magazine in a radically new direction by merging it with the flashy Daily Beast website, owned by Barry Diller and whose editor Tina Brown, former editor of Vanity Fair and The New Yorker, is now at the helm of Newsweek. It was an unlikely match, but one which to Harman made eminent sense.
"Good genes, a lack of interest in eating, a great interest in athletics and staying in physical condition," was how he once described the secret of staying active into his nineties. A better explanation, perhaps, was his unfailing readiness to embrace the new.
Sidney Mortimer Harman, businessman: born Montreal 4 August 1918; married Silvia Stern (divorced; three daughters, one son); 1980 Jane Lakes (one son,one daughter); died Washington DC 12 April 2011.Reuse content
