7.investin your Community: Localbusinesses are owned by people who live
in this community, and they are less likely toleave, and are more invested in the
communitys future.
8. putyour taXesto Good use:
Local businesses require a relatively little infra-structure investment and make more efcient
use of public services as compared to nation-ally owned stores entering your area.
9. Buy Whatyou Want, not What
BiG advertisinG BudGets Wantyou
to Buy: A South Carolina marketplacecomprised of tens of thousands of small
businesses is the best way to ensureinnovation and low prices over the long-term.
A multitude of small businesses, eachselecting products and services based not ona national sales plan but on their own interests
and the needs of their local customers, prom-ises a much broader range of product choices.

CommerCiaLreaL estate
rentinG
in todaysmarketFirst make sure that the areayou have chosen is right for yourintended business. If you planon expanding, take that intoconsideration. Do you need to beclose to an expressway, or thelocal airport? Before you decide,think ahead, because you may
be getting into a long termcommitment.
Make sure that any space youreconsidering is big enough forboth your current needs, andyour foreseeable growth. Berealistic and never over-commit.
Do your homework beforehand.Investigate trafc patterns; tourthe area and building. Find outwho the previous tenant was,and why the business left. Learnwhat kinds of marketing thelocation does in support of itstenants (if any) and whether co-operative marketing funds areavailable to you.
Weigh the benets of guaranteedfoot trafc at a mall locationagainst premium rent. Somemalls require that all tenantsstay open during mall hours, andpay for common area usage aswell as the stores own spaceand upkeep. Stores may alsobe asked to pay a percentage ofsales to the mall.
Identify your closest competitors.Also check out neighboringbusinesses with an eye forcomplementary products orservices. If you are locating in a
mall, check the lease agreementfor any guaranteed protectionagainst competition.
Evaluate whether the physicallocation and space is a good twith your product line. Do you
need a large, bright space or isan ofce warehouse sufcient?
Investigate any restrictionson signage. Signs are vitallyimportant to retail businesses,yet many landlords decide onwhat a store can and cannot do.The rules may be even stricter ina mall, which closely monitors itsphysical appearance.
Negotiate the terms of yourlease aggressively. Thinkabout consulting a realtor thatis familiar with the area. Neveraccept wording thats confusingor that leaves you wonderingwho is liable for what. Askfor the right of rst refusal onadjacent space in case you needto expand. Negotiate for freeimprovements, free rent, andother incentives before signing
your lease.
Hire a real estate attorney whonot only specializes in leasenegotiations, but knows yourarea and, preferably, has dealtwith your kind of businessbefore. A lease negotiation cancover tens, if not hundreds, ofterms, and you want someone inyour corner who has seen it allbefore.
Know who is responsiblefor maintaining the heating,air-conditioning and othersystems, as well as keepingup the parking lot and buildingexterior. This can be critical inolder buildings. Who pays for theutilities and trash pick-up?
The time has probably neverbeen better to start a new
venture if you have a businessthat is not being adverselyaffected by this economy. Justmake sure you get the rightlocation

Bunker shotperFeCtion:BLast your
Way
to
a
Better GoLFsCore
Bunker shots can be dauntingbut its really all in your head!Use these simple techniques thenext time youre in the bunkerand blast your way to a better
score.
Golf ScoreFirst, dont changeyour swing. Use the loft ofthe club and your back swingto determine your distance.Of course this will take somepractice so you know how toshorten your backswing to getthe distance you need. You useyour back swing to adjust yourdistance because you always
want to accelerate through
the ball. You never want to theclub head to decelerate. Alsoopen the club face if needed todecrease the distance the ballwill travel.
Use the bounce on the club to
launch the ball out of the sand.Dont worry too much about thedenition of bounce but try thisthe next time in the practice sandtrap. Take your sand wedgeand swing at the sand. Vary theangle the club hits the sand.When you bring the club downsteeply youll take a lot of sandand leave a large divot in thesand. Decrease the angle thatyou strike the sand until you
can feel the club almost bounceoff the sand. Feeling that ismore important than the actualdenition of bounce. The key isto have this bounce feel whenhitting the ball out of the sand.
Open the club face and aimslightly right with an open stancewith the ball forward in yourstance, slightly off of your leftheel for right handed golfers.
When you swing follow the line
of your feet.
Keep the weight on your left footand dont try to lift the ball, let theclub do the work; trust me theclub will lift the ball.
Hit about 1 inch behind the ball.The key is to get sand betweenthe club face and the ball. This iswhere that bounce comes in toplay.
Also, expect more roll on the ballwhen faced with a down hill liein the bunker because the ballwont get as much spin and tendto roll quite a bit.
Use and practice these
techniques to get yourself offthe beach and onto the green.For more helpful tips, advice,or to add some Golf Tips andSuggestions of your own - youare invited to visit the SouthCarolina Golfers Blog at

CanyouFindthe GorGet?The South Carolina State agis immediately recognizable
to native Carolinians, and ifyoure spending some timeout-of-State, it will probablybring a tear to your eye to see itwhizzing by on a bumper stickeror rippling in the soft blue skyof a native license plate. Mostfolks, however, consistentlyconfuse our ag for a simplerepresentation of a moonlit palmtree. The truth it, the sliver ofcrescent suspended in the upperleft hand corner is not a moonphase: its a piece of ornamentalarmour known as a gorget.
A holdover from the days ofknights in shining armour, thegorget was originally used toprotect the throat and blockblows from non-projectileweapons such as swords. Sincethe gorget originally rested
around the throat, the shapewas that of a crescent. In formalarmour, the gorget was placedbeneath the breastplate andbackplate set and supportedthe weight of the armour. They
were often equipped withstraps in order to attach someof the heavier armours. By theRenaissance, the gorgets hadalready achieved an ornamentalstatus and by the AmericanRevolution, it could be seenhanging from delicate chains andribbons around the throats ofofcers, signifying their rank.
The rst South Carolina ag,
designed in 1765, displayed thedark blue of the American troopsuniforms and a large crescentwith the word Liberty writtenwithin it. While most historiansagree that the crescent is therepresentation of the gorget,which was also worn as asymbol on the caps of Americansoldiers, there is some argumentthat the symbol could also stand
for the river bend on whichCharleston sits (the crescentwas a common symbol used byearly American settlements whentheir Town rested on the curveof a river), or it was a borrowed
symbol from the crest of the Bullfamily, one of Charlestons earlysettlers.
The palmetto tree on todaysag was not included untilJanuary 28, 1861, the day ofSouth Carolinas secessionfrom the Union. The palmettotree represents the defense ofFort Moultrie from British attack,as the Fort itself was made of
palmetto logs: an unexpectedlybrilliant construction, as thelogs of the palmetto tree areincredibly resilient and absorbedthe enemy cannon re like asponge.
Either way we have a pretty coolstate ag, and gorget is hard topronounce!

There really are some incredible

The designs are a lot softer and
warmer than they used to be. I
think the overriding design
factor that most homeowners
are seeking is something that
says their home is warm,

hoWtomakeGritsBy now, you should know that grits are notonly the starch of choice in South Caro-lina, its also the acronym for Girls Raisedin the South; so if you dont have yourrecipe down by now, its time to getboiling.
Proper grits do not come in an easy toopen, plastic-lined paper packet. As MyCousin Vinny put it, Real grits take atleast 20 minutes to cook. In fact, theytake a couple hours, but its worth everysimmering second.So get rid of theQuaker Instant Grits and mosey on downto the rice isle. Grits can usually be foundeither here or in the baking isle. If youre
lucky enough to live near a locallyproduce market or farmers market, 99%of the time youll nd more than enoughgrits in stock. Some local favorites includeAnson Mills grits and Charlestons Favor-ite Stone Ground Grits.
Now that you have the dry goods, makesure you have some fresh chicken stock,milk, cream and butter. Oh yes, youremaking these the way God intended.
Measure out your dry grits (1 cup of drygrits makes roughly 2 servings) and cleanthem by placing them in a bowl and
lling the bowl with water until the water is an inch or so abovethe grits. Skim off the chaff and drain. Dont worry, it doesnthave to be completely dry, just get it as close as possible.Now, dump the wet grits into a pot and pour in twice as muchchicken stock as grits. Bring this to a boil, then reduce to me-dium-low. Now add equal portions cream and milk up to 2 and times the amount of grits. So, if I was making this recipe
for two, I would have used 1 cup dry grits, 2 cups chickenstock, 1 cups cream and 1
cups milk. Add salt and pepper to taste, then sit back and let itsimmer. The longer the grits simmer, the richer theyll be.Typical time is 20-30 minutes, but some of the best grits sit foran hour to two hours at low to medium-low heat, just soakingup that cream and milk. Right before you serve the grits up,stir in a healthy pat of butter and, if youre feeling a little wild,grate a handful of parmesan or cheddar cheese over the top.
Play with and perfect this dish to your liking. The recipe is pur-
posefully simple for the sole reason that its up to eachsouthern girl to come up with her own special twist on thisSouthern Classic.

timetoreFinanCeorBuy !?Right now, mortgage rates are
at their lowest level since 1971.Think about that. Twenty-veyears ago, homeowners werepaying as much as 18% on a30-year xed. Today its justa little over 5%.Combine that
rate with the tax advantages ofa mortgage, and you have anincredibly cheap way to buildwealth, but you better act now.
Real estate guru BarbaraCorcoran has already seen a
tremendous surge in renanceapplications more than triplethe average and the numberof people getting approved isastronomically higher as well,she says. But that doesnt meanthe low rates are a panacea forthe ills of the housing market. Itis only once home prices startto go up that we will nally seea light at the end of tunnel,Corcoran says. Until that
happens, we are still going tohave to crawl out of this mess.[Low interest rates are] a not alifesaver, Corcoran says. Thisis just a helping hand.
David Kittle, chairman of theMortgage Bankers Association,has this advice to homeownerslooking to renance: Do it. Dontget greedy searching for anotherquarter-point. Lock in ratesnow. He is seeing applications
soar over 125% just sinceThanksgiving due to the lowrates.
Of course, you should onlyrenance if it saves you at least3/8 on the rate and if you plan onstaying in your home for at leastfour years, Kittle says. Alongwith good credit, proof of incomeand money by means of a downpayment or equity in the home,
there are certain things everyhomeowner needs regardless ofinterest rate levels.

neiGhBorhoods1. Neighborhoods are where we all grew up a long time ago. Today,because of golf courses, shopping areas, subdivisions, jobs, schools,and a transient society, a neighborhood means different things todifferent folks.
2. Neighborhoods can be as small as a dozen or so houses, and be asmany as thousands of homes.
3. Neighborhoods are common, and perhaps close to universal, sincemost people in urbanized areas would probably consider themselvesto be living in one.
4. Neighborhoods are convenient, and always accessible, since youare already in your neighborhood when you walk out your door.
5. Successful neighborhood action frequently requires little specialized
technical skill, and often little or no money. Action may call for an
investment of time, but materialcosts are often low.
6. With neighborhood action,compared to activity on largerscales, results are more likely tobe visible and quickly
forthcoming. The streets aregenerally cleaner; the crosswalksare painted; the trees areplanted; a festival draws acrowd.
7. Visible and swift results areindicators of success; and sincesuccess is reinforcing, theprobability of subsequentneighborhood action is in-creased.

8. Because neighborhood actionusually involves others, suchactions create or strengthenconnections and relationshipswith other neighbors, leadingin turn to a variety of potentiallypositive effects, often hard to
predict.
9. Over and above thesecommunity advantages,neighborhood activity may simplybe enjoyable and fun for thosetaking part.
But in addition to these benets,considerable research indicatesthat strong and cohesiveneighborhoods and communities
are linked quite possiblycausally linked to decreases in
crime, better outcomes forchildren, and improved physicaland mental health. The socialsupport that a strongneighborhood may provide canserve as a buffer againstvarious forms of adversity.
Sometimes a neighborhood isnta neighborhood until an eventoccurs, which draws peopletogether, to become neighbors.
