Congratulations to the entire Powerserve design department for winning 9 Addy Awards. This year is extra special because it marks the first time we won a Gold Addy award.
The ADDY Awards truly represent “the best of the best of the best” in advertising. Held annually by the American Advertising Federation of Augusta, the Augusta ADDY Awards is the first of a three-tiered national competition. Local winners compete against other winners within their regions in one of 14 district competitions. District winners move on to the National ADDY Awards competition.
Congratulations to the entire team! Here’s hoping we’ll better our winning record in 2011.

On September 23, I will be speaking about Adobe Creative Suite 4 at the Columbia County Library in Evans, GA as part of the next Refresh Augusta meetup. The presentation will cover what’s new with the Suite, my thoughts on it so far, and more. On September 24, he’ll be making the same presentation at The State Newspaper for Refresh Columbia. I hope you’ll be able to attend one of them!
These presentations will come hot on the heels of Adobe’s planned unveiling of CS4 on 9/23: http://adobe.istreamplanet.com/.

Knowing he was going to Las Vegas the last week of July, Mike Leaptrott (aka “Jackie Moon”) took it to his competition early. By the time he boarded the plane, he had posted almost 50 miles and held a 9 mile lead over Flobi.
While Mike was gambling Flobi was planning his comeback. By the time Mike returned on July 30th, Flobi held a slim .02 mile lead. Both competitor walked on the 31st, but when the clock struck midnight Flobi was victorious. Flobi went 54.67 miles and Mike went 51.39 miles.
Flobi issued a challenge when he was presented with the trophy. He shouted, “Let’s see if [you] b*stards can do 90 [miles]!”
Game on!

Josh Wilkerson won the July Biggest Loser Challenge by losing 8% of his original body weight. Josh was able to hold of Flobi who appeared to be losing weight by the minute in late July. Flobi lost 6.2% of his original body weight. Mike Leaptrott came in third place losing 4% of his original body weight.
Josh collected tweny dollars from Jeff Partl, who put up the prize money. After Don Harris found out he gained 2 pounds, he gave Josh ten more dollars.
As a whole, PowerServe lost 2.17% of our original body weight.
August 29th @ 9:30 p.m. is the next weigh in. The person who loses the highest percentage of weight from their July 31st weigh in will win tweny dollars from your truly!

There has been little or no excitement surrounding the Biggest Loser challenge. So I thought I would give all the competitors a little “carrot”. We are going to an official weigh in on July 31 at 9:30 a.m. The person who has the greatest percentage weight loss from their original weight (as recorded by Chris) will receive a crisp $20 bill from yours truly. This will be repeated each month to keep it interesting.
Game on!

It would be a stretch to call the June Fitness Challenge a competition. In reality, only Flobi decided to show up. He won going away by walking 55 miles. New competitor, Mark Barkley, came in second with 25 miles walked. Mike Leaptrott edged out Scott Villemain for third place with 15 miles walked.
Mark has been seen mysteriously leaving the office through the day. Mark was very evasive when asked about his whereabouts. He simply said, “I would not bet against me winning in the coming months”.
Mike Leaptrott reminded everyone he won May’s competition by hanging the trophy around his neck like a medallion. On at least two occasions he was seen around the office holding his trophy with the theme song from the movie “Rocky” blaring in the background.
When asked about his office antics Mike answered, “I needed to do something to motivate my competitors. I think it worked. When asked why he only walked/ran 15 miles in June he replied, “Just wait until July.
With Mike back on track, Flobi in the zone and Barkley in the competition, July looks like it could be a heck of a race.
Stay tuned!
