Are Jews Still Liberals?
- Abstract
For the attention of the linguistic philosophers, a problem having to do with the ethics of words: There is an organization—a department of the civil service, the army, a school, a corporation—in which supervisors periodically submit reports on the people under them. Suppose that in large part this consists of checking one of three ratings on a form: outstanding, satisfactory, unsatisfactory. That is the de jure situation. But suppose also that de facto, by long custom, anyone whose work is not clearly unsatisfactory is marked outstanding, with "satisfactory" commonly understood to mean "unsatisfactory" (as "literally" has come to mean "figuratively": I was literally petrified with fear). Careers depend on the reports.
If a supervisor, disliking a subordinate, grades as satisfactory work that he would otherwise call outstanding, he cannot justify himself by an appeal to the dictionary's definitions. It is unethical to apply dictionary definitions exceptionally and maliciously. But what if the supervisor is not malicious or partial? What if he believes that the prevailing custom prevents truly superior work from being recognized and rewarded, and that the de jure system should be restored? In his report he is telling the truth and striking a blow for efficiency. At the same time, his subordinates are going to be penalized merely because they have had the bad fortune to come under his authority, not someone else's. Is he right or wrong?

Earlier this week, I told you about Michelangelo's, a new coffee and wine bar that opened last weekend at 1 Broadway near the Mayan. Being a confirmed caffiene addict and a wannabe wine connoisseur, I made it a top priority to pop in and check out the fun factor of the spot.
It's exactly as I feared. Once comfortably situated, I may never leave this place. Owner Michael Palermo serves up steaming cups of java with a true barista's pride and confidence, but he also makes a mean panini sandwich and will happily help you through an impromptu tasting of several of his hand-picked wines.
And the space is quite cozy, with leather couches, wrough-iron cafe tables, rustic golden hued walls, and a baby grand piano in the corner for your weekend entertainment pleasure. A large wall hanging of Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam" graces the north wall, adding a touch of old world charm.
Palermo is still working out the details of his menu, but there is something for every hour of the day. Breakfast brings fresh bakery items, lunchtime offers sandwiches and salads, and the evening menu is all about small plates of wine-friendly nibbles. It's not meant to be a full restaurant, but rather a great spot for a drink and a long conversation, a quick coffee and a bite to eat, or a relaxing destination for dropping by after a movie or an afternoon spent perusing the Broadway boutiques.
So drop in, order up a cuppa -- or a glassa -- and plan to stay a while.

This is the letter I have written to Mr. Michael Palermo
Dear Michael,
I've accepted the fact that you probably are not going to pay me the $30 or so for the training I did. But as a personal piece of mind I have a few things that I would like to get off my chest. I support small local businesses such as your operation and am truly disappointed that things turned South for us so quickly. I was really attracted to working for you and eager to learn, however you were not satisfied with my performance. How can you expect me to learn much when you are not even present to train me the way you'd like me to be trained? You just left me with a girl who "knows where to stand so Michael can't see" her on camera, and a guy that is still too new to train anybody. I find that extremely unprofessional and quite frankly, tacky. I don't personally want to attack your store but you might want to invest in some gloves for handling food, and train your employees to not just "dive right in" to the olive jar with their hands. Not to mention your syrup pumps were filthy and looked like they had never been cleaned, and your refrigerator was covered with crusted milk. I did my best to find things to clean, such as the syrup pumps, and also gave my best service to your customers who seemed to take a liking to me. So I'm sorry you were not there to train me, I really did like the store. And I also found it interesting that you didn't take my information when I began working, what if I were to have gotten burned or cut myself? Wouldn't that be a serious liability for the company? And not to mention the fact that you're not paying me is just flat out illegal. I've already filed a complaint with the Colorado Department of Labor, granted they probably won't do anything for me, but you really hurt my feelings attacking my work ethic the way you did. Maybe I should contact the health department as well, not to try and damage your company but for the sake of your customer's health. Owners of small business really need to be savvy when dealing with distraught employees because word of mouth spreads extremely fast and you probably have no idea how many people vowed to never support your business. Think about it.

I looked at Michelangelo's website and their calendar said Fri Jan 27th was live jazz. The menu looked good. I drove all the way across town, parked, and when I got to the door, a sign said CLOSED - PRIVATE PARTY. Gee, if they took the time to say live jazz on their calendar, don't you think they could have mentioned private party? DUH!

There's nothing like sitting in a nice cafe and enjoying a good cup of coffee. There really is an art to wine and coffee.

Sitting in Michelangelos right now!! This is a great spot. I've been here during the day to get some work done out of the office and at night for a glass of wine. I would also highly recommend this spot!

Voting for EWF... Was pretty even but "Jupiter" took it for EWF
Posted Oct 28, '12 at 12:13am

Alright, time for my vote. I'm gonna go with EWF. I'd never heard much by either band, but I now want to get something by both after hearing that (although I'd say these borderline on funk). What gives it to EWF are the harmonies; they are truly amazing. How does on go about getting that many great singers in one group? Also, dat bass.
and now for a score update!
3- EWF -VS- 0- Commodores __________________________________________________
@582944114- I'll let it slide this time, but its a forum rule that you need a little more reasoning than that.
And finally, a big congratulations to MrDayCee on becoming a forum moderator! Cheers!

I vote for EWF. They seem like they have a better vocal range, and their songs are catchier. The only song I like by the Commodores is Brick House, so that isn't enough for them to win my vote.

I am voting for EWF. I thought they were more interesting as far as lyrics go for me. I also agree with Waluigi that they do have some really fantastic harmonies as well.

EW&F. They had groovy music videos, groovy beats, groovy look and groovy lyrics.
Let's groove.

I have to admit that I don't know many things about these two bands. Their names are familiar to me, but I'm not sure if I have listened to some of their songs before.
As some pointed out, the voices of EWF harmonize really well. Besides, the melodies of their song seem happier and I love the horn section. It definitely gives a special vibe to the songs. These are the main reasons why I vote for this band. I can't say much about the lyrics because I can only understand a few words and today I'm too lazy to look them up on Google, sorry.
So my vote goes to EWF.
Posted Nov 3, '12 at 11:01pm
Update: talking to a friend of mine about the song Let's Groove. She claimed it's bad. I am seriously considering cutting this friendship because of that. Well that and she's also a *****.

I clicked on all the songs thinking that I didn't know most of them... turned out every EWF song was familiar to me, I just didn't know them by name!
So with that, I vote for EWF because their music has clearly survived the test of time much better than that of the Commodores!

When I listen to the Commodores, it just doesn't stick with me like EWF does. The Commodores do have that funky sound, but EWF is the funky sound. You just can't beat that.
My vote this round goes to Earth, Wind & Fire. The decision for me was elementary.

I could dance to EWF all night, assuming that I had a plan to disco dance or roller boogie all night. Shining Star captures the groove of the era better than almost any other song out there. When I listen to it, I feel like it's 1975 again, and I wasn't even born yet in 1975.

One of the most famous names in pizza will soon be on a new facade in Connecticut. Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana expands again to include a location in West Hartford, with a planned mid-September grand opening.
The West Hartford pizzeria is at 1148 New Britain Avenue in the town's Elmwood section. Plans for the new restaurant were announced in November.
Like its flagship location on Wooster Street in New Haven (est. 1925,) the West Hartford restaurant will serve thin-crust pizzas fired in a coal oven. Classic recipes include the original tomato pie (served with grated cheese; mozzarella is extra) and white clam pie, made with fresh-shucked bivalves.
This is the second Hartford County restaurant for Pepe's, joining its east-of-the-river counterpart in Manchester on Buckland Hills Drive. Pepe's also operates pizzerias in Danbury, Fairfield, Yonkers, N.Y. and at Mohegan Sun casino in Uncasville.

I understand your point Sherlock, but simple possession, even with minorities recieving harsher sentences, is still short time, county jail stuff. I'm talking long-term +1 year lockups. As for dope getting cheaper...you sure about that? Legalize it, regulate it and tax it like booze and smokes...I don't see the cost coming down.

But WRT drugs, they ARE connected to other crimes as a statistical data point. In my county in GA (about 1000 years ago), 95% of robberies and B&E were drug related crimes. Now, the ones perpetrating those crimes, would still have been burglars and robbers without the dope (most were before they got into drugs; and before you start going off about it, I can say this with confidence because I GREW UP WITH THEM, and know how they were as kids), the drug involvement just made it easier to catch them. Face it, a stoner burglar makes a lot more mistakes and leaves more evidence than a "clean" burglar. We even caught one guy who decided to smoke a bowl AFTER he broke in, and fell asleep in the middle of looting the joint.

The so called "War On Drugs" has been an unmitigated disaster. It has cost hundreds of billions of dollars, corrupted entire governments, made the scum of the earth richer than most kings and more pointedly not even made a dent in accomplishing the stated goals.
A more troubling fact is that far more people have been killed in relation to the war on drugs than have ever been killed by the drugs themselves. There are other hidden costs as well.... http://www.cjpf.org/11ways Part of the problem is the attitude that if something is bad than government must get involved in trying to improve the situation. Sometimes this works but all to often it just makes things worse and government is very, very slow to shrink ANYTHING that it has gotten into that costs billions and employs tens of thousands. Legal does not always = good. Illegal does not always = bad. |

Assessing Android's potential in 2009
Perhaps one of the most exciting developments in the cell phone industry this year was the final release of the T-Mobile G1 (also known as the HTC Dream), and with it, the first commercial version of the Android operating system.
Even though we thought the G1 itself left much to be desired, we were impressed overall at the potential of the Android OS, and encouraged that Google's Open Handset Alliance might finally move the open-source platform forward. But, of course, Google faces great challenges ahead just in terms of market share--Symbian and Windows Mobile have a huge stake in … Read more

"Can nonprofits measure Return on Investment (ROI) for their social media activities?" asks Marcia Bullard, former CEO of USA WEEKEND.
This next part in our series from the National Conference on Volunteering and Service (NCVS) focuses on determining ROI, one of the most talked about issues in our community today. As more nonprofits are engaging in social media, and as budgets continue to be tight in the current economy, it's a natural question. How do we know this stuff is working? Can we even measure it?
I'm going to take some of the suspense out of it for you. These guys say you can. In fact, Paul Gillin gives you a road map in the first three minutes:
1. Know the lifetime value of a donor / volunteer – when someone supports your organization, what's the average $ per year the give, and how many years do they stay with you? $ multiplied by years, and there's your lifetime value.
2. Start keeping records now – Use historical data from physical events: how many attended, how many gave, what totals were raised? If you have already run online fundraisers, so much the better. If you're running your first, keep track of how visits turn into donors.
3. Do the math – now that you're keeping track, measure how many new volunteers or donors have come from online activities. What % of your Facebook fans have shown up in the real world at an event? What % of your Twitter followers have donated? What are the actual numbers – how many people have acted. Multiply # of people taking action by your average lifetime $, and you know how much your organization stands to bring in from a particular online (or offline) effort.
Watch the video for more from Paul, and for additional comments on the same topic by Joe Rospars, Craig Newmark, Andrew Noyes, and Jack Dorsey. In all, a valuable primer on understanding the return on your social media investment. Take a look!

The concert begins at 3:30 p.m.
This program will feature the "Best of the Hymns," with a variety of gospel hymns. Donations will be accepted to offset expenses for music and provide funding for local needs and/or a charity.
The Eureka Hymns is a group of guys who like to sing and like to have fun. They primarily sing gospel songs but are learning to sing all types of music. The chorus is the idea of director Charles Koerner. Koerner had always wanted to organize a gospel men's chorus, and when he arrived in Eureka after retirement, he found there were many good male singers in the area, according to a news release. This was an opportunity to start the gospel men's chorus. The Eureka Hymns are a work of devotion and were borne out of a love to sing God's praise, according to release.
The nondenominational group is open to all male singers who love to sing, and there are still openings. Anyone interested in joining the group from the Eureka area or the surrounding area is welcome to attend a rehearsal at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays at the Reformed Church in Eureka. For additional information, call Terry Schutz at 605-284-2065 in the evenings.

*Gallons of jet fuel per revenue passenger mile (RPM) and revenue ton mile (RTM) from 2011 DOT Form 41 and 298C data-- domestic and international travel combined.
Alaska Airlines has reduced fossil fuel consumption by 30% per revenue passenger mile (RPM) since 2004 and now ranks #1 in fuel efficiency against all major domestic carriers (see table at right). We've accomplished this through our fleet improvements; operational efficiencies; and weight reduction efforts.
The awards, introduced in 2005, recognize the outstanding efforts of individuals and organizations that are working to preserve the world's natural and man-made treasures, says Nancy Novogrod, editor in chief, in a letter to the company. Alaska was selected for the sustainability award, which is "not just about the latest green amenities but a commitment to a long-term mission." The award cites Alaska's longstanding efforts with satellite navigation technology to find the shortest possible flight path, and applauds Alaska for reducing its carbon footprint by 30 percent since 2004. It also mentions the onboard recycling efforts in diverting 500 tons of trash from landfills.

Duluth Retriever Club honors volunteer's memory by naming field for him
It's a perfect place to train retrievers. The 40-acre field with a narrow pond is part of the Duluth Retriever Club's property along Lester River Road north of Duluth. Now the parcel has a name: Ron Nelson Field.By: Sam Cook, Duluth News Tribune
It's a perfect place to train retrievers. The 40-acre field with a narrow pond is part of the Duluth Retriever Club's property along Lester River Road north of Duluth.
Now the parcel has a name: Ron Nelson Field.
The club voted in July to name the field for the late Ron Nelson, who made significant contributions to the club and its members through his volunteer efforts. Among Nelson's many contributions, he taught hunters with young retrievers how to train them. He volunteered at field trials and hunt tests and youth events. He did most of the construction of the group's clubhouse building.
Nelson died on June 17 after being diagnosed with cancer just one month earlier. He was 76.
"He was probably the most valuable member we had at the club," said Duluth's Bob Allie. "He was there all the time. It was kind of like a second home."
The club had several years ago awarded Nelson a life membership in the group.
"Ron was a giver," said club member Joe Tieberg of Duluth. "He always just poured his heart and soul into whatever project was undertaken —cleaning an outhouse, pumping a septic tank, making phone calls."
When the club decided to build a new clubhouse a few years ago, Nelson took charge. Al Butterworth of Superior, who was president of the club then, remembers working with Nelson.
"He was really the supervisor, the foreman, the master carpenter — he was it," Butterworth said. "I was one of his grunts."
As proficient as Nelson was, he kept the clubhouse construction in perspective, Butterworth said.
"When maybe sometimes I was getting a little too exacting, he'd look at me and say, 'Al, we're not building a church,' " Butterworth said. "He was great fun."
Nelson helped teach a "Train the Trainer" class at the club for hunters with young dogs. His gentle demeanor was just right for those hunters, who could feel vulnerable when their dogs were slow to pick up a new concept in retrieving.
"He really had a passion," said Allie, who worked with Nelson in teaching the classes. "He was really interested in working with people, in helping them with their dog work and raising the expectations of people who use Labradors."
Nelson's last Lab was Pinky, an old black Lab that had grown white in the muzzle when I encountered them one duck opener at the Canosia Wildlife Management Area. Nelson and Pinky came walking slowly up a trail after a half-mile trek from their morning hunt, just the two of them.
Nelson dropped his heavy camouflage bag of gear and decoys.
"We're both in our 70s," he had said with his wide smile.
Nelson was 73 at the time. Pinky was 10, or 70 in "dog years." Nelson loved Pinky as he loved nearly all Labs.
"More than once on hunting trips, we awoke in the morning to see Ron and his dogs in the same bed," said club member Fred Tarnowski of Knife River.
"I'd rather hunt with the dog than a gun," Nelson once said. "If I had to give one up, I'd give up the gun."
Nelson taught industrial arts in Duluth for Marshall School and the Duluth public schools, completing his career at the Secondary Technical Center in 1998. With his classes, he helped build Habitat for Humanity houses in Duluth.
"The guy could do anything," Allie said.
In addition to teaching classes and working on projects at the retriever club, Nelson constantly did favors for people he knew.
"I'd come in on a Monday and say, 'Look at this, Ron. I crossed one fence and got a scratch on my new Benelli (shotgun),'" Tieberg said. "He'd say, 'Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it.' A week later, he had it finished."
Nelson once helped Allie refurbish a Rehbein wood-and-canvas canoe.
"He said, 'Oh, yeah. I've done many of those,' " Allie remembered.
That's who Nelson was.
"He just did things for people he knew," said his wife, Margaret. "People would call him if they needed help with projects at their home. He'd run over to their place to help them."
Now, Nelson's contemporaries and future generations of retriever owners will train their dogs on a piece of ground called "Ron Nelson Field." Part of the property recently was logged to expand the training area. Access roads have been added or improved, and the field seeded with prairie grasses. Pheasants Forever paid for much of the grass seed.
On part of the land, there's a little knoll where a grove of old pines provides some shade. That's where hunters often gather after training to sit on pickup tailgates and share thoughts on dog training.
When the light is just right on a summer evening, you can almost see Nelson on that knoll, among his fellow hunters, talking dogs.
At Ron Nelson Field.

Every year I give up something for Lent. The season of Lent leads up to Easter in the Christian church, and many people 'give up something' as a recognition of Jesus giving something (His life) for us.
What I give up usually ties back to one (or more) of the following things:
- Candy (chocolate or not chocolate)
- Snacks
- Alcohol
None of the above items appealed to me. Usually something jumps out but while all seemed like good ideas, none were things that would make me feel accomplished. Even saying all of them just seemed 'meh'.
Then, I thought back to one of my New Year's Resolutions and I immediately hit my excitement. The resolution which I listed was "Have treats (notably chocolate) primarily in social situations"
I decided that I would give up all of the things on the list in terms of doing them alone. This means that all of the following things would be off the table:
- Having an after dinner snack while watching TV. For me this is usually something like a couple of graham crackers, a handful of chips, or something along those lines.
- Grabbing a drink on Saturday while catching up on blog work or things around the house
- Raiding the candy dishes on various co-workers desk during the day
- Or anything along these lines.
This may not seem much, but I realize that I do these things far too often. I have a snack just about every night. My wife has one maybe twice a week. So, now I'll be 'OK' to have a snack twice a week, only when my wife does. I will normally have a drink or two once or twice a week. My wife has an occasional glass of wine or maybe a drink if we go out to dinner. So, this will reduce my alcohol consumption. My boss at work has candy dish and it would be about routine to stop by mid-afternoon and grab something. No more.
So the bottom line is that I'm not completely cutting alcohol, sugar, or chocolate, but I'm cutting them all significantly.
And, honestly, my hope is that I can continue this as a routine practice even when Lent is done.
Do any of you out there 'give something up' for Lent? What's on your list this year? And, giving up winter doesn't count!

Without a staffed air traffic control tower, "there is going to be an incident" involving aircraft at or near Hagerstown Regional Airport, one concerned business owner said Thursday.
"I feel very strongly that we are going to have an incident, and it's going to impact people on the ground as well as the crew in the aircraft when that happens," said Austin Heffernan, owner of Royal Aircraft Services LLC on Airpark Road.
Heffernan was one of five airport business officials who spoke Thursday during a news conference at the airport terminal, highlighting the local impact of proposed FAA cuts that would eliminate federal funding to 149 air control towers due to across-the-board cuts known as sequestration.
"I think the FAA's decision to look at commercial volume of traffic ... was an error," Heffernan said. "I think they need to look at a couple other factors, too. I think the safety implications are going to be severe here without a tower, and I think it's going to have a trickle-down effect to the local economy."
Safety is such a major factor at Hagerstown because of the types of businesses that operate daily on the airfield and in the surrounding airspace, officials said.
Pilots, in particular, will be affected by a tower closure, said Randy Cupit, test and evaluation program manager for Avenge Inc., located near the airport on Pennsylvania Avenue.
The company handled more than 10,000 test flights for government and military aircraft in 2012, Cupit said, like many built in facilities adjacent to the airfield. One company, Sierra Nevada Corp., recently was awarded a $43 million contract to build two modified government surveillance planes.
"The separation services provided by the Hagerstown control tower are immeasurable for the public safety and to help protect taxpayers' investment in the aircraft that we are testing," Cupit said.
Along with its close proximity to Camp David and the Washington, D.C., area, the large volume of federal defense training flights taking place near Hagerstown are a big factor why the tower should stay open, Heffernan said. While in the air, test pilots have enough to deal with making sure their airplane stays airborne and all systems are working correctly, he said.
"And he's depending on the tower to make sure somebody wandering into the airspace doesn't clip him," Heffernan said.
Holding out hope
The four-week phaseout of federally contracted towers will begin Sunday, although Hagerstown's tower is not scheduled for closure until May 5, according to airport Director Phil Ridenour.
In the meantime, Washington County has signed and sent a joint letter to Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley to request state funding to pay for 75 percent of the tower's operations from May 5 through the end of September. Ridenour said three other counties affected by the closures — Frederick, Talbot and Wicomico — also sent letters.
Ridenour said new federal legislation is being introduced by Sens. Jerry Moran, R-Kansas and Richard Blumenthal, D-Connecticut, as an effort to stop the sequestration portion of the funding cuts to the towers.
"I don't think any hope is lost at this point," he said. "We certainly hope that ... the federal government finds a pot of money somewhere to keep the contract towers open, but we also understand that there's a lot of other hands out there that have the same issues that we do."
Gary Hoyle, director of operations for the Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics, said he believes the tower should be funded indefinitely, noting that the fully functional airport was a big selling point when PIA located a branch campus in Hagerstown in recent years.
"Without it, the capabilities of the airport will be seriously hindered in terms of potential air traffic volume," he said. "In addition, the movement of industry into the area could be placed at a standstill."
The cost of funding the 149 towers selected for closure through the remainder of the federal fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30, is about $50 million, several officials said. Meanwhile, the FAA's budget for travel to conferences and events totals out to around $700 million, Cupit said.
"Isn't it worth the FAA to travel only on $650 million instead of $700 million to ensure the safety of me, you and the rest of our crews ... as well as protect your taxpayer investments?" he asked attendees during the news conference.
Representatives of U.S. Sens. Barbara A. Mikulski and Benjamin Cardin attended the event, along with a representative from U.S. Rep. John Delaney's office.
Possible adverse effects
In a joint letter to U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Raymond H. LaHood, the group of federal lawmakers urged the DOT to "take another look at the adverse economic impact of closing the Maryland towers."
Closing towers at Hagerstown, along with Frederick Municipal Airport, will prevent President Obama and other dignitaries from using both airports as a transfer point to nearby Camp David, the letter states.
"The peak spring and summer season is fast approaching," it reads. "The closures will jeopardize the economic security of these communities and counties."
County Commissioner John F. Barr, who also spoke, highlighted the airport's economic impact on the area, noting it was ranked third out of 35 public-use airports in the state, according to a recently released Maryland Aviation Administration study.
"HGR generated over $110 million in business revenue and collected over $7.4 million in state and local taxes," Barr said, adding that the county will give its full support "in every way possible to keep this tower open."

First to ReviewAug 31, 2013The only place in Rome to get some decent Indian food, Piazza Vittorio is also the Eternal City's Chinatown, as well as the site of cheap department store Mas, an essential stop for discounted cheap clothes appropriate for rehearsals, painting, or pyjamas. The Roman world fusion band, the Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio, was formed around here and is a real pioneer in the fledgling Italian multicultural movement. The veg market just off the Piazza also has some of the best prices in Rome, not to mention curries and other ethnic spices that expats hanker for after a few months of simple, albeit delicious, Italian food.

South West China, the exotic area, home to many minority ethnic groups. Like other parts of West China, it is far less prosperous than the eastern and southern coastal regions. Much of the terrain is quite mountainous. Tibet and Northwestern Yunnan are located on the Tibetan Plateau and have many very high mountains; including the world's highest (Mount Everest) which is located in on the Tibet/Nepalese border. Guizhou and Guangxi have smaller mountains, including the karst limestone terrain, with fantastically gum drop shaped hills, terraced rice fields, and many caves. [edit] Regions

AR's bold effort to cut Medicaid costs, add transparency
Kaiser Health News, October 1, 2012
On Monday, Arkansas will kick off a program to reduce its Medicaid costs and improve care through a partnership with its largest private insurance companies—Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield and QualChoice. If successful, experts say the state's Medicaid program could save about $4.4 million in FY 2013 and $9.3 million in 2014. The Health Care Payment Improvement Initiative is a shared-savings plan that begins to move the state and private insurance market away from a traditional fee-for-service payment system, to one in which providers are paid based on how well they deliver care and manage their costs.

Spring Break Traffic Brings Economic Boost To Greenville BusinessesThis time of the year, spring break is in full swing, as many vacationers take a week off from work and school and drive to the beach. But the time away from the bigger cities helps out smaller towns in Alabama... especially Greenville.
It's exit 130, where thousands of cars stop to fill up their tanks and grab a bite to eat. And spring break is the peak season for travelers and business in south Alabama. Greenville Mayor, Dexter McLendon, says its all due to the location of the Greenville exit. He says all the traffic boosts sales this time of year. "South of here, you don't have the same kind of exits that you do north of here, so you'll see a lot of people making this their last stop. Sometimes they're just getting a burger and on down the road. Sometimes they're filling up with gas, so it's just gas, food, hotels and sometimes golf," Said McLendon. Convenience stores like the Chevron gas station off the Greenville interstate say it makes all the difference. Chevron employee, Antwon Banks, says it's even busier, than last spring break season. "[There are] cars lined up for gas, buses pulling in, two or three at a time. [You] have a whole lot of vans, car wash be packed no were to park," Said Banks. Local restaurants are also benefiting from the bump in sales. Burger King Assistant Manager, Annette Peagler, says so far this month, business has gone up by about 30 percent. "Lunch time... it's really picked up. We have buses, tourists and all of them that come in to sit down and talk. They really enjoy this," Said Peagler. McLendon says their other peak season for travelers coming to the city is July and August. |

Simple Ideas for Engaging Your Site Visitors
No matter what line of business you're in, if you're a startup or simply lack the enormous advertising budget that's available to your rivals, then it's time to think outside the box a little and come up with some more creative ideas for self-promotion.
Advertising online is the obvious route to go down, but even this can be a rocky road for the inexperienced. The internet – despite being free – is a battleground for hundreds, if not thousands of similar businesses all vying for a limited amount of traffic. To make your business stand out you not only have to get traffic to your site in the first place, but you've also got to know what to do once they arrive.
One of the best ways to encourage people to re-visit your site is by asking them to bookmark it. By bookmarking and sharing your site, people will be able to access it easily whenever they need to (or whenever they're bored), without having to type the full URL or do a clumsy Google search. You can simply post a message asking people to "Bookmark Us", or add something more elaborate such as a Grafetee button which allows people to map your location, post comments and more.
Fresh Content
There's no two ways about it – fresh and compelling content is a strong driver for encouraging your site visitors to come back again and again. No matter what business yours is, there are very few that lack the potential for a company blog or regular news section. Blog posts should be fairly frequent, at least 3 or 4 a week so that people come back often to check for updates.
Daily Giveaway/Contests/Coupons
Websites that offer regular promotions like coupons or daily giveaways are much more likely to capture a regular audience. Let's face it, some people are just suckers for freebies, and so they'll keep on coming back in the hope of winning, so long as there's something on offer. Moreover, giveaways and prizes are a great opportunity to showcase new products and services, and also share important company news. An example is that you might be a wine seller giving away a free bottle of wine – take this opportunity to spread the news that you have new varieties in stock.
Quiz Questions
One of the best ways to engage an audience is through a quiz that tells them something about themselves. For example, our wine seller merchant above might create a quiz along the lines of "what kind of wine drinker are you?" or "Do you drink too much wine?". The quiz itself will be a short list of ten or fifteen open-ended quiz questions (no right answer, people just chose what best applies to them). A great little free quiz maker tool from Pro Profs means it's possible to make a quiz like this in just minutes, then post it to your site, share on Facebook, tweet it and more.
Online Chat
An online chat tool is a great way to engage with customers. By adding a simple tool from Livezilla or one of the dozens of free services out there, you'll be able to help out customers who are having difficulties with your site, gain feedback and insights and generally leave a much better, longer lasting impression on your site visitors.
Of course, there's dozens more ways to "skin the proverbial cat" as they say. But, the aforementioned ideas should make for a good start in getting your movements more visible. Even the smallest business concern can leverage the ad power of the web without a huge ad spend budget. Sometimes you just have to start small, and work the way up. Add your suggestions to these.

One Response to "Simple Ideas for Engaging Your Site Visitors"
Incorporating a blog onto your site is a great way to get return visitors. Provide them with great content on a regular basis that helps them with a problem that they may have. As long as the blog provides value people will come back looking for more.

Buddy came on with persona and power. It was like a revival. His presence reminds one of Miles Davis and he is a legend of the same status. A must-see.
[3 of 3 customers found this review helpful]
The single most incredible evening of live music I've ever experienced...it was a "happening"! Buddy Guy is truly a legend...I had no idea of passion and range of his abilities to play and entertain.
[1 of 3 customers found this review helpful]
I have to say that being told I have to arrive at a show [$] at 3 in the afternoon to sit down.......not again.Then, even having a good standing space, when Buddy guy went on, a buch of people stood in front of us and we could not see anything! That was awful.
[2 of 2 customers found this review helpful]
The concert was great but for [$] a ticket, you would think I would have had a seat to sit in! I am disabled and never dreamed I would have to stand for over 2 hours. And if I had brought my wheelchair, there was nothing but stairs there. Not handicap friendly venue.

The airspace in the immediate vicinity of an airport.
Example Citation:
"The night sky over LAX was alive with moving lights as dozens of planes waited in the birdcage for their turn to land."
Officially called the "terminal control area," another name for this airspace is "upside-down wedding cake," because the waiting planes are stacked at multiple altitudes and the higher the altitude the wider the circular flight path the plane must follow.
