Unit Descriptions
Unit 1: Introduction to Marketing Management
Marketing has become recognized as a basic motivating force in most organizations. Marketing management focuses on the process of marketing decisions for organizations. Firms practicing the marketing concept strive to satisfy customers' needs and wants while achieving the organization's objectives at the same time. From a managerial point of view, marketing is the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion, and distribution of ideas, goods, and services to create exchanges that satisfy individual and organizational goals. Marketing management is the art and science of choosing target markets and getting, keeping, and growing customers through creating, delivering, and communicating superior customer value.
Consumers are constantly seeking quality products and services. Companies continue to explore how to meet customer expectations. To meet the challenges of a global marketplace, a company must do an excellent job if it wants to compete effectively. Businesses today face a number of challenges and opportunities including globalization, the effects of advances in technology, and deregulations. They have responded by changing how they conduct marketing in fundamental ways.
Unit 2: Information Drives Marketing Decision Making
Loyal customers are value-maximizers. They form an expectation of value and act on it. Buyers will buy from the firm that they perceive to offer the highest customer-delivered value, defined as the difference between total customer value and total customer cost. Companies are also becoming skilled in customer relationship management (CRM), which focuses on meeting the individual needs of valued customers. The skill requires building a customer database and doing data mining to detect trends, segments, and individual needs.
A major challenge for marketing-oriented companies as they respond to the rapidly changing marketplace is to engage continuously in market-oriented strategic planning. They must learn how to develop and maintain a viable fit among their objectives, resources, skills, and opportunities. The strategic planning process is carried out at the corporate level, business level, and product level.
Marketing plans focus on a product/market and consist of the detailed marketing strategies and programs for achieving the product's objectives in a target market. Marketing plans are the central instrument for directing and coordinating the marketing effort. All marketing efforts are focused on satisfying the ultimate household consumer and the organizational user. To understand these types of consumers, it is important to understand the final consumer. In addition to a company's marketing mix and other factors present in the external environment, personal characteristics, along with the process whereby they make decisions, influence final consumers. By understanding consumer demographics and lifestyles and the way in which consumers decide whether or not to make purchases, the marketer can better target efforts to satisfy consumers' wants and needs among specific groups.
An understanding of organizational consumers is also of great importance to marketers. In organizational markets, good are usually bought for enhancement and subsequent resale, whereas in consumer markets, goods are bought for their final consumption or use. Understanding organizational consumers and developing an effective target market strategy and product planning enable marketers to satisfy consumers' demands.
Unit 2 also is about how to deal with the competition. To prepare an effective marketing strategy, marketers always must consider with whom they compete, as well as their actual and potential customers. To meet their challenge, it is important that companies conduct competitive intelligence and disseminate information continuously. Maintaining good information about competitors and practices is an effort toward effective market orientation.
Unit 3: Developing Value Offerings
Product development is an important element of marketing management. This unit presents discussion on setting product strategy. Understanding of product concept is key to successful product development. Service and the quality of service constitute an important segment of customer satisfaction. A product is anything that can be offered to a market for attention, acquisition, use, or consumption and that might satisfy a want or need. Products can be physical objects, services, people, places, organizations, and ideas. Product strategy calls for making coordinated decisions on product mixes, product lines, brands, packaging, and labeling.
As the United States moves increasingly toward a service economy and beyond, marketers need to know more about marketing service products. Services are activities or benefits that one party can offer to another that are essentially intangible and do not result in ownership of anything tangible. Services are intangible, inseparable, variable, and perishable. Each characteristic poses problems and requires strategies. It calls not only for external marketing but also for internal marketing to motivate employees, and interactive marketing to emphasize the importance of both "high tech" and "high touch."
Price has become one of the more important marketing variables. Despite the increased role of nonprice factors in the modern marketing process, price is a critical marketing element, especially in markets characterized by monopolistic competition or oligopoly. Competition and buyers that are more sophisticated have forced many retailers to lower prices and in turn place pressure on manufacturers. Further, there has been increasing buyer awareness of costs and pricing, and growing competition within the channels, which in turn provides the consumer with even more awareness of the pricing process.
By practicing market-oriented strategic planning, excellent companies adapt and respond to a continuously changing marketplace. Strategy determination begins with analyzing the market situation and selecting the target market. Marketing strategy identifies the kind of total impact on demand the overall marketing effort is designed to achieve. In doing so, marketing strategy provides consistency of direction among programs.
To be successful, marketing organizations must ensure that the products offered to their customers are perceived to be of high quality and promote a combination of satisfaction and utility to the desired target market. Positioning is a firm's act of making sure that its product provides maximum utility and can be compared favorably with other similar products. Positioning is made up of three essential steps: (1) identifying possible products, (2) determining criteria for selecting important differences, and (3) signaling to the target market the important differences.
New-product development in an organization is important because firms use products to sustain growth and foster differential advantages. Unit 3 describes the new-product development process and measures why some new products fail. New-product planning process is also discussed in this unit.
Packaging is the process or the procedure a firm follows in planning and marketing products. Strategic package planning can be highly profitable. Unit 3 also describes how to design and carry out a successful product strategy.
Unit 4: Communicating and Delivering the Value Offering
In deciding on the marketing communications mix, marketers must examine the distinct advantages and costs of each communication tool and the company's market rank. They must also consider the type of product market in which they are selling, how ready consumers are to make a purchase, and the product's stage in the product life cycle. This unit takes a close look at mass communication and sales promotion. Sales promotion includes tools for consumer promotion, trade promotion, and business and sales-force promotion (trade shows and conventions, contests for sales reps, and specialty advertising). In using sales promotion, a company must establish its objectives, select the tools, develop the program, pretest the program, implement and control it, and evaluate the results.
Direct marketing is an interactive marketing system that uses one or more media to effect a measurable response or transaction at any location. Direct marketing, especially electronic marketing, is showing explosive growth. Despite many challenges in the international arena (shifting borders, unstable governments, foreign-exchange problems, corruption, and technological pirating), companies selling in global industries need to internationalize their operations. Companies cannot simply stay domestic to maintain their markets.
This unit sums up the concepts of marketing today--marketing must be involved in all elements of the company's operations and work closely with its suppliers and channel partners, with the understanding that each element of function provides an opportunity to market the product to the ultimate consumer. In addition, this unit focuses on the "management" of marketing in terms of the ability of the marketing personnel to work with cooperation and to encourage customer focus by each discipline. Marketers today must also be concerned for the welfare of society as a whole. Finally, marketers must focus their attention on the implementation process of solving marketing opportunities.

Istomin has to retire
Roger advanced into the round of the last sixteen in Cininnati as his opponent, qualifier Denis Istomin, had to retire at 5-2.
"If there is a right timing for this, it's now, I guess," Roger said. "It gives me an extra day to get into it. From that standpoint, it's good."
Istomin hurt his right foot and ankle during a rally and had to quit the match after only 28 minutes. Roger controlled the match and had a 5-2 lead when Istomin pulled up and sat down in the corner of the court, removing his shoe. He got the foot and ankle taped, but couldn't put much weight on the leg and decided to retire.
Roger certainly welcomed the easy night coming off his finals match in Toronto but was obviously also sorry for his opponent's injury.
Roger will now meet Germany's Phlipp Kohlschreiber.
Sorry for Istomin, champ!!!!
Come on, #1!!!!!!!!
Yours to take, then on to win the US Open!
Hope today's match is fun.. be careful of PK, he will have picked up on things in training en Suisse.. no doubt!!!!
Good luck
Shame Istomin had to retire. However, it gives you an extra day to rest. Good luck in the next round against Kohlschreiber. Take care.
Love From Christinexx
But happy for the extra rest you get after Toronto
All the Best for the next match against the German!

One of Frédéric Bastiat's best pieces (other than The Law) is this piece on government. He states:
Government is the great fiction through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.
I thought of Bastiat's quote as I read this article on the employment effect of the Affordable Care Act.

BROSELEY -- The Sikeston Lady Bulldogs hit the .500 mark on the season Thursday with a 2-1 win over Twin Rivers.
After three scoreless innings, the Lady Bulldogs grabbed a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth before adding an insurance run in the fifth. The extra run proved to be the difference in the ball game as the Lady Royals rallied for a run in bottom of the seventh, but came up short in an effort to tie.
Paige Sailors picked up the win on the mound for Sikeston while Madison Chaney led the Lady Bulldogs offense going 2 for 4. Sarah Dixon and Maggie Shepherd each contributed singles to Sikeston's cause and Sailors had a double.
Now at 5-5 on the year, the Lady Bulldogs will hit the road to play a makeup game against the Kelly Lady Hawks today at 4 p.m.
BENTON -- The Kelly Lady Hawks continue their dominant ways beating Portageville Thursday, 8-0.
Kristi Brucker picked up the win inside the circle throwing all seven innings, striking out nine and allowing four hits.
The Lady Hawks, who scored three runs in the third inning and five more in the fourth, had 10 hits as a team.

"Even in our losses, Janai Ivory played a close match while suffering from cramps and (Geena) Hooper played good in a tight match. I'm very pleased with the effort put forth by all today defeating a Class 2 opponent."

Videogame Software Slides Again in February, Despite New Consoles
U.S. consumers continue to buy videogame consoles at a rapid clip but not much software, the research firm NDP Group said.
Sales of new games at retail shops fell 11% to $328 million in February, NPD said, despite strong sales of new Microsoft Corp. and Sony Corp. videogame consoles released in November. NPD said videogame hardware sales rose 42% to $347 million.
Liam Callahan, an NPD analyst, echoed a theory among videogame executives and analysts–that software sales triggered by the new consoles haven't been enough to offset the dramatic falloff in purchasing for older videogame systems.
Blake Jorgensen, Electronic Arts's chief financial officer, said at a recent conference that the falloff happened faster than he anticipated even before the Christmas buying season last year.
"A lot of people were just waiting to either buy a new console or decide which console they were going to buy," he said. "I am guessing by next Christmas season we will start to see that offset of the full offset of growth versus the decline in the old generation console titles."
When and if the market recovers, it's unclear how much it will be able to rise above previous levels. Market analysts have said they don't expect the console games industry to grow significantly over the next several years, and so far the sales data appears to be following that trend.
But the sales cycle is still early, executives note, considering that Microsoft's Xbox One and Sony's PlayStation 4 were only recently released.
In the meantime, NPD said Sony's PlayStation 4 continued to be the top-selling videogame console in the U.S., without disclosing specific figures.
Sony said earlier this month it had sold six million units of its PlayStation 4 to customers worldwide, up from 4.2 million it sold by the end of last year. Microsoft pegged its sales at three million at the end of last year, without any further worldwide sales updates.
In the U.S., Microsoft said it sold about 258,000 Xbox One units in February, ahead of previous device launches over the same period. Sony declined to release comparably similar data.
One bright spot in February is software delivered over the Internet, which SuperData Research said jumped nearly 23% to $291.3 million. Joost van Dreunen, head of SuperData, said sales were primarily driven by demand for add-on content software, such as additional story lines or maps for war simulation games, which are often sold separately from the traditional games.
He noted that blockbuster videogame launches, such as the release of Take-Two Interactive Software's "Grand Theft Auto V" in September, attracted customer attention away from other titles.
SuperData said the top selling traditional videogame software title sold over the Internet was Activision Blizzard's war simulation game "Call of Duty: Ghosts," followed by "Grand Theft Auto V" and Ubisoft Entertainment's "Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag."
Among game disks sold in U.S. retail stores, "Call of Duty: Ghosts" was also the top seller, followed by Warner Bros. Interactive's "The Lego Movie Videogame," followed by Take-Two's popular basketball title, "NBA 2K14," NPD said.
Revenues for videogames that don't initially charge customers to play, such as Riot Games's battle arena style game "League of Legends" for PCs and King.com's mobile device puzzle title "Candy Crush Saga," continued to rise, jumping nearly 27% to $584.8 million, SuperData said. Meanwhile, subscription-based games, like Activision's "World of Warcraft," saw sales drop more than 24% to $82.8 million.

Hi, I'm just on here also looking for help as I've been trying to potty train my son for a year now. He will also hold onto his for hours until I'm not there or I put a nappy on him and he'll either pee on the floor or wait for a nappy. He just won't go on the potty or the toilet. I'm sorry I can't offer advice, maybe you're having some success now are you???

Have you tried sticker charts or something similar , i'm not above a bit of bribery if it works and we've had sticker charts where if they got so many stickers they got to choose a small toy, or book or pack of crayons or similar from a box i had , between that and lots of praise and encouragement when they did go it always worked for mine (and one of my boys would go and hide when he needed the toilet so he didn't have to use it at first but the sticker chart worked a treat ) With my boys they preferred to stand whilst peeing too so having a step for the toilet helped , good luck xx

In Peru, 'Tomb Raider' Is Not a Game
Peru's government says that a California-based on-line auction house is trying to sell 21 pre-Hispanic objects that are part of Peru's cultural heritage. But it adds that another 12 supposed pre-Hispanic pieces also on sale are in fact fakes.
The auction by a company known as Ancient Resources is scheduled to take place this month. The company web-page offers a number of artifacts from Peru for sale, including a silver mirror, a necklace, and pottery. Peru's Culture Ministry says it wants the real items back, although it doesn't say which ones are real and which are replicas.
"I have reviewed the Peruvian demand letter and have no reason to believe that the artifacts were improperly exported or imported," said Gabriel Vandervort, owner of Ancient Resource, LLC, in an email.
He added that the government's claims that some of the artifacts are false "is an accusation pulled out of thin air."
Peru wasn't able to stop the recent sale of Pre-Columbian pieces of art auctioned by Sotheby's (BID) in Paris, which the government said were taken out of Peru without proper permission decades ago.
Tomb robbing has been widespread for years in Peru, despite an 1822 regulation that prohibits the removing of archaeological goods without government authorization.
Peru's government had better luck dealing with Yale University, which in November last year returned a final batch of thousands of artifacts taken from the ancient Inca citadel of Machu Picchu.

Rep. Kevin Brady
Federal government restrictions on offshore drilling "are costing thousands of American jobs," Texas Rep. Kevin Brady charged today.
In testimony prepared for delivery at a Houston hearing on offshore drilling, the Republican congressman from The Woodlands said the Obama administration's moratorium on deepwater drilling and its response to shallow-water permit requests "will create grave and permanent harm to workers and businesses" in Texas and along the Gulf coast.
The Houston hearing — being covered exhaustively today by FuelFix.com — was designed to give Texans an opportunity to provide feedback to Michael Bromwich, the man who runs the federal drilling oversight agency that replaced the now-defunct Minerals Management Service.
The Republican congressman, in his prepared testimony, chided President Obama for failing to respond to an invitation from the bipartisan Houston-area delegation has invited President Obama to visit Texas energy workers.
"Don't the jobs of our energy workers matter?" asked Brady. "What about the small and independent businesses that will not survive the shallow and deep water moratoriums — isn't anyone in the White House listening to them?
"It is time to stop condemning an entire industry and their workers because of the isolated BP oil spill."
>>> Complete hearing coverage on FuelFix.com
>>> Complete transcript of Brady testimony on the jump page
The moratorium on deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and the undeniable de facto moratorium in shallow waters are costing thousands of American jobs, and will create grave and permanent harm to workers and businesses if either is allowed to continue.
Director Bromwich, I strongly urge you to restore responsible, timely permitting of rigs in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico and to immediately end the deepwater moratorium. Let our workers return to work and allow our businesses to again safely explore for and produce affordable energy for American families and companies.
Reinstating the drilling moratorium after the federal courts had struck it down is unacceptable, especially since recent public documents reveal the White House knew in advance it would force over 23,000 American energy workers out of their jobs and into the unemployment line.
I find it equally troubling that President Obama has refused to accept an official congressional invitation to travel to Houston to meet face-to-face with energy workers and businesses in Texas impacted by his moratorium.
Don't the jobs of our energy workers matter? What about the small and independent businesses that will not survive the shallow and deep water moratoriums – isn't anyone in the White House listening to them?
It is time to stop condemning an entire industry and their workers because of the isolated BP oil spill.
American Energy
The Gulf supplies a third of our nation's energy, and while consumers have, so far, been relatively spared from significant price increases, the halt in production will ultimately come to bear. America will be forced to rely more on foreign sources of oil from unstable regions of the world, after years of slowly decreasing that reliance.
The explosion on the Deepwater Horizon and oil spill were tragedies. Eleven men lost their lives and my prayers go out to their families. I commend you for thoroughly investigating the cause of that disaster and defining what lessons there are to learn.
Yet as tragic as the spill was, it was BP's spill, not an entire industry's. Energy companies in this country have been safely producing American oil in the Gulf for half a century and have drilled 40,000 thousand wells safely. We can do both, and through these forums, we have seen America's energy industry demonstrate that capability.
The moratorium has lead to another disaster: economic devastation for many residents in Gulf Coast states, including in Texas where 1.7 million jobs rely on the energy industry — a quarter of our state's economy.
Nationwide, unemployment is rising toward 10 percent. In many areas surrounding the Gulf, it's even higher. The truth of the matter is too many Americans have simply stopped looking for work. On one hand, Washington has spent hundreds of billions of dollars in a futile attempt to create jobs, while on the other, has enacted policies that knowingly kill them. The Department of Interior's own analysis showed the moratorium would cause 23,000 Americans to lose their jobs. And if it continues, leading energy researchers estimate 300,000 jobs and $147 billion in state and federal revenue could be lost if independent drillers are forced out of the Gulf of Mexico. And others, including Dr. Michelle Foss of the University of Texas Energy Economic Center, have testified before Congress that retaining a moratorium on oil and gas exploration could have significant negative effects on our economy.
It costs about half a million dollars to maintain a rig — per day. Few are going to sit idle for long; they will move to where the work is, and once they are gone, they are gone for years on long-term contracts, taking American jobs and capital with them. Two rigs, the Ocean Endeavor and the Ocean Confidence, have left so far, one to Egypt and the other to the Congo.
Roughly 1,400 jobs are tied to each rig, and thousands more benefit indirectly. These jobs do not all represent "big oil." They are small and medium sized businesses fighting to survive. Ninety percent of the wells drilled in this country are drilled by independent companies. And thousands more vendors support that production. From the manufacturers that produce parts, to the mechanics that service the rigs, to the helicopter pilots that transport workers, thousands of jobs are tied to Gulf oil and gas production. Blackhawk Specialty Tools had to lay off 20 percent of its workforce in just the first month following the moratorium. The next month it was 50 percent. Their president said to me, what company can go six months without revenue and expect to survive?
America cannot afford to sit idle in the Gulf. We are still decades away from being able to fuel our country with renewable sources of energy, and we must invest in traditional sources of energy to carry through the transition. Prior to the BP accident, President Obama had opened some new offshore areas for development. He did so because two years ago we faced $150 per barrel oil – and more than $4 a gallon gas. The forces that caused that price spike still exist. Russia and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, including Saudi Arabia and Venezuela, account for 75% of the world's proven oil reserves (OPEC 70%, Russia 4.4%). The only other substantial proven oil reserves are in North America (15%). The oil price spike two years ago occurred because China and other industrializing countries demanded more oil and OPEC largely refused to increase production. Price volatility increased because the market saw the increasing trend in demand with no clear understanding of how supply would respond.
Eighty percent of the Gulf's oil and 45% of its natural gas production come from wells in more than 1,000 feet of water. Since 1986, 65 oil and gas discoveries occurred in water depths exceeding 5,000 feet. In 2008, the Gulf of Mexico's outer continental shelf had the largest number of U.S. crude oil discoveries, which increased its proven reserves while reserves fell for the nation as a whole. Before the spill, expected deepwater Gulf oil production increases essentially represented the entire net growth in U.S. oil supply and 4% of global oil supply growth to 2015.
The price of oil is back near $80 per barrel, despite a weak world economy, as OPEC has substantially cut its oil production. Deepwater development was a promising source of incremental oil among otherwise anemic growth in non-OPEC supply. We cannot afford to treat the Gulf spill solely as an environmental disaster and not as a threat to the economy. Pretending that the oil price will not rise much above $80 per barrel, that the economy could handle any oil price increase, or that alternative energy sources can be scaled up on command to replace oil may force our nation to confront a very harsh reality in a very short time.
Global industrialization the world over will require more oil than developed countries can save. Despite increases in America's population, our share of world oil consumption has steadily declined since 1999. In ten years time, we went from consuming 25.8% of the world's production to 22.3%. Other nations will not slow their economic development just to ease global demand for resources, and deepwater production cannot be turned back on like a faucet when nosebleed prices return. We already know what the response will be from OPEC and Russia to pleas for more oil.
History proves we can produce oil in the Gulf safely. Fifty thousand wells have been drilled in the Gulf of Mexico since 1947. We have also seen significant advances in drilling technology over that time. Before BP, no substantial oil spills had occurred in the Gulf's "Hurricane Alley," even from storms as devastating as Katrina and Rita, which destroyed 113 offshore drilling platforms in 2005. Almost 4,000 wells have been drilled in water of more than 1,000 feet.
Experts agree there is little need for a moratorium. Eight of the 13 experts that had reviewed your department's May report on the spill, before it included a drilling moratorium, have since publicly rejected the need for one.
Even federal courts have rejected the moratorium, ruling the Administration has produced insufficient evidence that each rig is unsafe in order to justify such an across-the-board ban on production.
Director Bromwich, no one argues the health of the Gulf coast environment isn't vitally important to our welfare and the lives of millions along the Gulf coast who rely on the waters to fish, or to welcome tourists. No one feels this more directly than the people of the Gulf. But you must also balance safety with economic reality. There are going to be risks every time a worker sets foot on an oil rig, as there are risks when a passenger steps on an airplane or family sets off on a road trip. The job of the federal government is to effectively manage and minimize those risks – not to eliminate them altogether.
Thank you for the opportunity to submit my testimony.

Choosing an Architect
You'll want someone who's easy to get along with, and local. The Web can narrow the search
If you have to tear down walls or gut a space to get the offices you long for, you'll need an architect. Architects may have a reputation for being haughty, but many, particularly young ones looking to make their mark, are eager for assignments. "We sometimes take on jobs to experiment, although they are not really lucrative," says John Hartmann, co-founder of Freecell, the Brooklyn (N.Y.) architecture firm that worked with Verb!
It is often best to work with a local firm so its architects can be on site quickly if problems arise. Ask friends and colleagues for referrals and try to choose people with experience in office renovations. Two online sources are the "architect finder" on the American Institute of Architects' Web site, at aia.org, and ServiceMagic, at servicemagic.com, which matches clients with architects based on location, budget, and a description of the project.
You'll need to interview at least two or three candidates to make sure you get along personally and have similar design ideas. It's important for the architect to understand your company, including its culture, hierarchy, and image. Make sure you fully understand the architect's fee structure, the proposed time frame for the project, and how cost overruns and delays will be handled. The AIA has sample contract documents on its site as well as a list of 20 questions to ask an architect, such as: "What is your experience and track record estimating costs?" and "Who from the architect's firm will I be dealing with directly? Is that the same person who is designing the project?"
For smaller jobs, you may be able to use an interior designer. But the designer will need an architect to sign off on any plans that involve rebuilding. Here, too, referrals are the best way to go. The Web site of the American Society of Interior Designers, asid.org, may also help. It has advice on finding a designer as well as a search feature that allows you to look for practitioners with degrees in design or professionals who have passed an ASID exam in your area.

A new restaurant opened up last week at the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport, as a pair of new owners brought new life to a space that had been vacant since mid-October.
Wings, the new eatery up the hill at the airport in Williamstown, opened Feb. 3 in the midst of the snowstorm that left about eight inches of snow in parts of the region.
Though the eatery is located inside the airport, new owners and close friends Mary Browning and Francis Winemiller take pride in serving up homemade comfort food to all kinds of crowds.

JACKIE RUNION The Marietta Times
Francis Winemiller, left, and Mary Browning, owners of Wings at the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport, take a break from cooking to greet customers Don and Casey Fought Wednesday. Wings opened Feb. 3 at the terminal restaurant after the space sat empty for four months.
"We make everything from scratch, and we have specials every day," Winemiller said. The food Wings serves up comes from their own personal recipes.
Many restaurants located near travel hubs are there for convenience, but Browning and Winemiller are around every day in the kitchen, cooking the food themselves, from lemon meringue pies to homemade rolls.
"It's an interesting concept, being at an airport," Winemiller said. "It's fun for people to eat and watch the planes and helicopters land."
Fact Box
If you go
Wings at the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport
Owners Francis Winemiller and Mary Browning.
Open seven days week, 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Breakfast all day, every day, except for Sundays.
Homemade comfort food, from-scratch desserts.
Winemiller and Browning are both from Williamstown originally but have lived in different places, as Browning has gained restaurant business experience in the Carolinas as well as places closer to home.
The pair only started looking at the space a little more than a month ago, and made the decision to open the restaurant officially on Jan. 11.
"We had a friend call and say we should take a look at the place," Winemiller said. "We started looking, and decided 'We can do this,' and now here we are."
Now specializing in warm, homemade foods like breaded pork chops, ham steaks and fried okra, Wings is not just for travelers.
"A lot of locals and a lot of the churches and businesses have been coming in," Winemiller said. "We opened the day of the big storm, and we still did well. People are glad we're here and they love the food."
Don and Casey Fought finished lunch at Wings on Wednesday afternoon, with no plans to catch a plane.
"We're from Newark, which is roughly 25 miles from here," Don said. "So we came quite a ways to get this good food."
Winemiller and Browning always kept in touch when they lived in separate areas, but most recently worked together as servers at the Omelet Shoppe in Parkersburg.
Sure enough, Wings serves breakfast all day, every day except for Sunday, with a full omelet menu.
"We've been friends for a long time, and we make a good team, so it's working out well," Winemiller said.
Renee Dillon, a Parkersburg resident who worked with Winemiller and Browning at the Omelet Shoppe, said she hopes more people learn that you can enjoy Wings without a boarding pass; it is privately owned and operated.
"I had been here last about 10 years ago, so it's been a long time," Dillon said. "I hope it goes great for them, because they're good people."
Wings is open seven days a week from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m., and future plans might include a few nights where the restaurant is open later.
Winemiller said they are planning an official ribbon-cutting ceremony soon that the airport will invite a local government official to attend, but the details have not been worked out yet.
The airport terminal restaurant was previously Plain View Restaurant, owned by Mary James for more than 20 years.
The restaurant closed down Oct. 16, citing a lack of business. Winemiller and Browning purchased all new equipment, and the airport renovated the space, refreshing it with new paint and carpet.
"We're trying to run it like it always has been run, and with great food," Winemiller said.

Bishops' Advisory Commission on Doctrine

The inaugural service for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in Dublin and Glendalough took place in St George's and St Thomas's Church on Cathal Bruagh Street on Friday January 18.

The service was coordinated by the Indian Orthodox Congregation who use the Church of Ireland church and was attended by Church leaders from many Christian denominations including Archbishop Michael Jackson and Archbishop Diarmuid Martin. Fr Brendan Leahy, bishop elect of Limerick, was also present.
The preacher by Revd Prof Fredrick Bliss, Professor of Ecumenical Theology at the University of St Thomas Aquinas, Rome.
In his reflection he said that they were indebted to the Indian Christian students who cited the great injustices done to the Dalits of India in their preparation of the background material for this years Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. They urged congregations to think about the havoc that castes or religious divisions caused for people, communities and the Christian Church.
"To live with Christian division is one option. Another is not to accept the status quo, but to become pro–active disciples of Christ for the restoration of the unity for which He prayed (John 17, 11)," he said.
Prof Bliss shared a series of stories of people and communities throughout the world who had chosen to make Christ's prayer for unity their own.
Meanwhile, on Sunday January 21 the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin preached at an ecumenical service to mark the week in St Saviour's Church of Ireland Church in Arklow.
In his homily Archbishop Martin said the call to ecumenism was an urgent call. He added: "There are of course many areas where enormous progress has been made and if we look at them in terms of the length of years of our common history of division these gains have been attained in a remarkably short time."
Archbishop Martin told the congregation in Arklow that prayer was the essential stepping stone towards overcoming our "self–generated" divisions. He later said that a dimension of silence and contemplation must also form part of our contribution as believers to our world, where so often the emptiness of noise prevents us from even asking the fundamental questions about life.
Referring to an address last year by Archbishop Rowan Williams to the Synod of Catholic Bishops in Rome, he said: "He(Archbishop Williams) noted that if we do not manage to live more humanly in this sense we "run the risk of trying to sustain faith on the basis of an un–transformed set of human habits – with the all too familiar result that the Church comes to look unhappily like so many purely human institutions, anxious, busy, competitive and controlling".

U.S. Shale Revolution Offers Dollar Support
Many dollar watchers have argued for some time that the U.S.'s burgeoning energy production would at some point buff up the buck.
Now some believe it is starting to happen.
"The U.S. shale oil revolution which has been quietly unfolding behind the scenes has now begun to exert a direct influence on FX markets – to the benefit of the U.S. dollar," UBS currency strategists Gareth Berry and Geoffrey Yu pointed out, in a note to clients.
Data Tuesday showed a booming U.S. energy sector helped the U.S. trade deficit narrow to $34.25 billion in November, the smallest since late 2009.
"Admittedly that's still a long way from the glory days of the 1980s and early 1990s, but the material step in the right direction was enough to provoke some dollar buying on Tuesday," the UBS team said.
This is unlikely to be a blip.
The dollar will benefit over time from the energy revolution, said Kit Juckes, a macro strategist at Societe Generale in London. "Global reserve currency status allied with less dependence on foreign investors will boost the currency on a five-year view."
U.S. crude output has risen about 64% from five years ago, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. At the same time, the U.S.'s thirst for petroleum fuels has stalled as vehicles have become more efficient. As a result, refiners are shipping increasing quantities of diesel, gasoline and jet fuel to Europe and Latin America.
According to a study by BNP Paribas last year, the combination of higher exports and reduced petroleum imports could benefit the dollar's fundamental equilibrium exchange rate by as much as 16% on a 10-year horizon.

It's time restaurants were more accommodating towards people with allergies. JD Haasbroek has a plan...
I recently read an article where a well-known chef berates those with food allergies for visiting restaurants, and I cannot agree. There is a difference between not liking garlic because it makes your breath smell and actually being allergic to it. It doesn't mean someone with an allergy to nuts should be denied the pleasure of an evening out. But still, there is a problemChefs work under unspeakable pressure and there are few of them that can be convinced that there is such a thing as a garlic allergy, especially on a sweaty Friday night when the tab grab reads like a William Burroughs novel. Be that as it may, a restaurateur's job is to make all who are willing to spend money in their establishment, comfortable. That includes someone with a nut allergy.Lines must be drawn, however, and I cannot defend those that think that the cream sauce from the fish would go better with the chicken, but preferably with vegetables that accompany the lamb dish. Choose an item from the menu and stick with it. Train your staffIt is one of the most irritating experiences in a restaurant when asking a waitron whether there are nuts in a dish to see his back as he heads off to ask the chef. Inevitably he will either have to start taking the order again, or cock it up. And rest assured the chef has skipped a beat in the kitchen. Train your staff people.Adapt your menuBut there is an easier way. It is not rocket science, and more importantly, you do not need to change the direction of your business. Take your existing menu, sit down with the chef on a quiet Tuesday morning, and go through the menu and work out which dishes contain nuts, wheat, dairy and, yes, garlic. Draw up a Nut Friendly, Celiac Friendly, Lactose Friendly and Garlic Friendly menu. Have it available in the restaurant, and post it on your website so that people can make informed choices before entering your establishment.You will not believe how accommodating you will make someone with an allergy feel. I have experienced it. And trust me, if you cook the kind of food that I enjoy, your Garlic Friendly menu will be short. And so too will be your customer base with runny noses and an abhorrence of garlic. And then at least you can say, I told you so. Follow @JDHaasbroek and @Food24 on twitter.
The judges will be in Joburg to host an event in aid of Stop Hunger Now SA.

Pepsi Rolls Out a New Shape for Bottle
Published: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 3:46 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 3:46 a.m.
Pepsi is rolling out a new shape for its 20-ounce bottle for the first time in about 17 years. The new bottle has a contoured bottom half that appears easier to grip, and the wraparound label is shorter so that more of the drink is exposed. Andrea Foote, a PepsiCo spokeswoman, said the new 20-ounce bottle is part of the company's ongoing update of marketing and packaging materials for the cola. The single-serve bottles, which are widely sold in coolers at drugstores and other retailers, will begin rolling out in April.

If George Zimmerman was not engaged in an unlawful activity and was attacked in any place where he had a right to be, he had no duty to retreat and had the right to stand his ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he reasonably believed that it was necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.

John Perez of John Perez Graphics & Designs IS MY HERO
AUTHOR: Uh, I don''t think so - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Monday, March 11, 2013POSTED: Monday, March 11, 2013
I was desperate, until I found John Perez. He had several decades of knowledge and experience in the oil and gas industry under his belt. I also jumped up and down when I found him! I didn't have to waste my valuable time explaining the details to him. He had no problems designing our presentation with exceptional quality and clarity. The time it took John to get our project done was about the same time it would take any other Joe-Shmoe graphic artist to understand what I was talking about. Speaking of not knowing what someone is talking about... I simply do not see how the first client could say such negative things about John Perez Designs & Graphics.
John was beyond professional and accommodating. He stayed late on a Friday night to take my meeting since I had to fly in from another state to go over the project with him. Trust me, I don't sacrifice my lunch hour to go out of my way to write reviews for just anyone. John is worth his weight in gold. Feel free to contact me if you have your doubts about my testimonial. Or, go ahead and contact John for a quote yourself and you'll be glad you did. I highly recommend the use of John Perez Graphics & Design for anyone in the petroleum, oil or gas business.

Sounded like a good jobs report last Thursday. +288k jobs created in June. Well, of course that's before people like Mish started digging into the numbers.
It seems that 500k+ full times were lost and over 600k+ people left the labor force. Around 800k part time jobs were created and essentially part timers accounted for all of the job "growth".
I seem to recall people saying a while back that Obamacare would force employers to drop full time employees and hire part time instead. But that can't be happening because the MSM keeps telling me these things are not happening or if they are they are totally, absolutely UNEXPECTED and UNEXPLAINABLE! (TM and pat. pending)

This monograph covers all phases of disabilities of the ischium, but is difficult to read and requires great concentration. The anatomy of the ischium and its evolutionary development makes interesting reading. The line drawings, however, particularly those of muscle origin and insertion, are difficult to follow. For the orientation of the reader it would have been much better had this been shown in color. The roentgenographic reproductions throughout the book are not good; mostly they are too dark, and it has been necessary for the author to use arrows to point out what is being described in the text. As a reference book on all disabilities of the ischium this is a worthwhile work but not a ready reference book for the medical student or house staff. It is appreciated that the author has brought into one volume all of the facts about the ischium, and he should be commended

As I was about to start this article I was sitting in a cafe. I was brainstorming via a good cup of cappuccino and a bucket load bland lounge music. The only subject coming to my mind was Antonio Conte's wig…. Since it probably wasn't a suitable subject for a whole post, I desperately tried to put it behind me. But seriously? Have you seen it?
Why is it that a totally ok looking guy chooses to let his head participate in a tender embrace with someone else's surplus hair? He didn't look bad when semi bald did he? And who does anyway? It's all a question about how you wear your lack of hair. Unless you're a nutty professor, for whom wildly flying thin, white locks are apparently only a symbol of knowledge and indulgement in the matter, the only and by far the easiest solution is just to shave it all off. No harm done.
The images of little hair Conte from a couple of years back and a lot of hair Conte from today gives the impression of a vain man with silly habits. I know that a guy like me with hair down to somewhere on my back (I obviously cannot see exactly where) shouldn't talk about other men being girly – but come on…
Let's look at it this way. Does Luciano Spalletti look girly? Does Jan Koller? Jaab Staam? I know that Conte does at last have one friend in the vanity department, but who want's to be associated with Berlusconi?
On another and for Juventini much more serious note is the question about whether Conte himself is a wig (or toupé for that matter – what's the difference anyway?) over the betraying lack of hair that is Juventus on the pitch. Unlike baldness on the head baldness on the pitch does actually matter and what Juve need is not a wig but some substantial regrowth cure. Does Conte stand a better chance to provide that than Luigi Delneri and his designer length stubbles (which he wears as a mustache as probably the only person in the world)?
It's actually quite fun to tie everything in Juve to hair metaphors. Certainly Marco Motta on right full back reminds me of that kind of hair you'll see on old geezers who desperately try to cover empty spots on their head with the hair from other parts of it. It doesn't look convincing and it's pretty damn thin to start with. Sørensen is more like a sturdy quiff who'll stand upright even in the toughest gale but which hasn't learned to fit into the look for the cocktail soiree that is the Serie A. It can be done, but' it'll take a lot of grease.
I like Antonio Conte. He was a good player for Juve. So was Ciro Ferrara. The lack of class is apparent in some areas of the pitch, but most importantly the majority of Juve players seem to lack some hair on the balls – if not the balls themselves. I'm sure Lars will cover the mercato in detail, and I'm quite surprised that I of all people wrote a piece on the Bianconeri. It wasn't on purpose – I promise…. I was just sitting in a cafe having an overdose of lounge music (talk about lack of balls), so please bear with me.

The second stage of the GAPS intro diet allows raw or soft boiled egg yolk to be introduced to your diet.
In the past, both my husband and I have shown sensitivity to eggs on food allergy tests so I tried the suggested sensitivity test from in GAPS book. I was a bit skeptical, but followed the directions as placing a drop of the food in question on the inside of your wrist let it dry and leave it there overnight. If you wake up the next day and the area is red and irritated, then do not attempt to introduce that particular food at that time, if there is no reaction, however, you are free to introduce that food.
I had no reaction and happily had my very first raw egg yolk this morning. I mixed it into a warm cup of broth & topped it off with a splash of sauerkraut juice. Not too bad!
Starting week 2 and we feel pretty good. My husbands bloating has dramatically decreased and his skin is clearing up from the dry flakiness he had been experiencing before we started. I, on the other hand, have had some minor skin break outs, which I think are due to the detoxification process my body is going through. I also feel a bit 'greasy' from all the broth and meat I have been consuming as these beginning stages have been quite a switch from my normal diet.
Looking forward to the week ahead!
