Estoril, Portugal: The teams and drivers endured good and bad weather conditions in the practice sessions at Estoril on Friday in preparation for Sunday's A1 Grand Prix of Nations in Portugal. A1 Team Russia decided to sit out Round Two in Germany as they strove to find a fresh driver line-up to really challenge for top placings in the A1 Grand Prix of Nations. Estoril will see their re-emergence with 25-year-old Alexander Turumin and 18-year-old Mikhail Aleshin. Powerful cars Turumin has over five years of top flight competitive racing experience in sports cars and single seaters while Aleshin has rocketed to fame in the Russian motorsport scene. Friday proved to be a difficult time to get a first taste of the powerful cars. Rain before the first free practice session and a drying track caused problems for all the teams. A1 Team Portugal were one of the first to get out on slick tyres as track conditions improved. Debut outing Nelson Piquet Junior for A1 Team Brazil once again showed his ability with some quick lap times despite the tricky conditions. A1 Team Australia gave a debut outing to Will Davison and he took the time to set up the car for wet conditions. The Australian number one driver for this week, Christian Jones, was due to run the car in the second session, but more rain meant A1 Team Australia decided to keep the car in the garage. A1 Team Germany achieved a promising result at their home race in Lausitz two weeks ago. On that occasion Timo Scheider was behind the wheel. This time the main driver will be Adrian Sutil and once again he showed the German improvement was team wide, as once again they ran very strongly. Just like in Germany, the team to beat might well be A1 Team France. Alexandre Premat performed very well in the first race at Brands Hatch only to stall on the starting grid in the Feature Race. Two weeks ago, Premat's teammate Nicolas Lapierre took the honours in both the Sprint and Feature races. Premat is getting another opportunity in Estoril and while the track was drying, he produced the quickest lap time. Slippery conditions The second free practice session was also disrupted by wet weather. Heavy rain delayed the start by 25 minutes and when the cars did take to the track the slippery conditions made consistent lap times an impossibility. Some teams did venture out to gain some set up information in case Saturday's qualifying is rain effected, but even the most experienced found to their cost how difficult it is to handle a 550 horsepower car in torrential rain.

Welcome to 2015: The Year of Fifty Shades of Jurassic Ultron Wars
by Alex Billington
January 1, 2015
It's here. Welcome to 2015. By the end of this year, after another 12 months, we will have seen the new Star Wars movie from J.J. Abrams and Lucasfilm/Disney. But before that, we'll also see Avengers: Age of Ultron, Tomorrowland, Jurassic World, Ant-Man, Spectre, and oh yes, Fifty Shades of Grey. It's one of those kind of years. The ones that we write about at the beginning, where we all say "whoa" there's a whole boatload of incredible new films in the works all due in theaters this year. Including a new Terrence Malick movie (or maybe two?). I know, what the f**k is going on?! But, here we are, we made it, Bienvenue à 2015.
One of our most popular posts was a first look at the "Full 2015 Release Schedule" with over 50 movies. The final release schedule for 2015 is still available, and will be updated as dates are added/changed. We still have the completion of the 2015 Academy Awards coming up on February 22nd, which means the awards season is still going along with Sundance coming up in a few more weeks this January. But as for the rest of the year, it's jam packed with all kinds of movies from Jupiter Ascending, Pixels and Chappie, to Furious 7 and Mad Max: Fury Road, to Crimson Peak, Sinister 2, Fantastic Four, and Terminator: Genisys, plus the Mockingjay finale. Here's our 20 Most Anticipated Movies of 2015. Which movies are you excited for?
As always, thank you to all the readers who continue to follow FirstShowing, and stay dedicated to loving films as well as the theatrical experience above all. We very much appreciate your support as we begin 2015.

DEA and Dynamic Yardstick Competition in Scandinavian Electricity Distribution
Multi-period multi-product regulatory schemes for electricity distributors are presented, based on cost information from a productivity analysis model and an agency theoretical decision model. The proposed schemes are operational and demonstrate considerable advantages compared to the popular CPI-X revenue cap regulation. The schemes avoid arbitrariness, excessively high or negative informational rents as well as ratchet effects and they promote rapid productivity catch-up by making full use of available data. More generally, the paper contributes to the theoretical unification between firm-based Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) productivity models and micro-economic reimbursement theories.

The Alpaca
This is the yummy alpaca sweater I made for Kevin for Christmas. The yarn feels so wonderful, but the project hit some hitches. This is the first sweater I've completed (still working on Cookie monster cables, even though I started it first). There are a couple of obvious places where I did the wrong stitch.
Then there is the unexpected "stretch" factor. I knit (is that the past tense?) this on size 11 needles. It went very fast, but b/c of the loose-ness of the stitch, the arms stretch out when you put it on. I'm going to attempt a technique my knitting teacher in college used to make shoulder seams to try and counteract this stretching....as soon as I can get to the sewing machine in my studio!!!
Here's the technique....Place pins perpindicular to the seam on either end of the shoulder seam. Then wrap yarn around these pins in a figure 8 pattern, cinching up the seam to the measurement you want. Then sew with a sewing machine zig zag stitch to secure.
Hope it works.
I also found out 2 things about alpaca AFTER I had the whole thing done. 1) it sheds, and 2) it's heavy.
I'm not sure if Kevin will ever actually where this or not, but it was fun to make. I think I'll try a similar pattern to this next time in wool and a slightly smaller needle.

How to run a #Facebook contest on your biz page, without breaking the rules!
Running a contest on Facebook is a good strategy to draw attention to your business, enhance your reach, reward fans and grow your database to assist your email marketing efforts. Who doesn't like getting something for free right?
Here is the problem I see on Facebook daily- Brands run contests while breaking all the rules possible set up by Facebook. The response I get from clients and business owners when I point this out to them? Everyone is doing it, no one follows the rules, and Facebook police doesn't exist..
Just because everyone is doing it, it doesn't mean you should follow! You should check the TOC before you post or interact on any platform. And it's TRUE- Facebook shuts pages daily due to breaking their TOC.
You might not see it but Facebook gives no warning, your page will be shut down and it might take time or you might be lucky and not caught. However, if you are caught it's over. I know it's tempting but considering how much time and effort goes into building a community online & growing your business, I don't think it's worth the risk.
The rules (most broken) you should follow:
1. Facebook does not allow using user's private timeline as a condition to enter contests. Think about these examples: SHARE this post / page on your timeline. TAG friends in this post to enter. LIKE this page to enter. All these are considered as using the private space of users and it isn't allowed- Don't do it!
** You can get creative and invite and encourage people to share & like if they wish to. It just can't be a condition.
** Tagging breaks another Facebook rule: "You must not inaccurately tag content or encourage users to inaccurately tag content." Meaning: Don't encourage people to tag themselves in photos if they aren't in the photo.
2. A brand has to post in the original contest post the official entry rules, offer terms and eligibility requirements such age and residency restrictions ( you also have to comply with government rules with regards to prices offered), and you have to add a Facebook disclosure which is a complete release of Facebook by each entrant or participant. Users need to know the promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Facebook.
3. Asking users to upload YOUR page's cover image on to their own timeline to enter a contest. Nice trick but still very much against the rules.
This is actually just like tagging, it's in violation of another basic rule of using Facebook: "All covers are public. This means that anyone who visits your Page will be able to see your cover. Covers can't be deceptive, misleading, or infringe on anyone else's copyright. You may not encourage people to upload your cover to their personal timelines."
Breaking the rules also doesn't assist your marketing efforts in general and your end goal in particular which is converting fans into paying customers.
This is why:
First off people might tag and share your post to try and get free stuff however, it will be deleted or hidden from their timeline soon after. No user will turn their timeline into a billboard for random businesses therefore, your content will not be visible to others. Secondly, people get very annoyed when brands and even their friends tag them in random images or posts, leading them to reporting it and increasing the chances of Facebook reacting to it. And thirdly, it looks unprofessional and not well thought out which is never a good reflection on a business.
Run a contest the right way, think it through so it benefits your business long run as well. For all the rules click: https://www.facebook.com/page_guidelines.php#promotionsguidelines

5 things you should stop doing on #Facebook right now!
Though you might not be able to see it right away practices just as the ones I'm about to mention, can damage your brand, marketing efforts as well as your professional reputation on Facebook. Not to mention these are guaranteed to get your page or personal profile suspended or shut down and no, Facebook does not give a warning like most people believe.
Which so call marketing strategies should you stop using?
1. No.1 strategy I see which doesn't help your marketing efforts one bit is when you create your business page and invite all your friends to like it. Your friends might like your page as a courtesy to you or because they want to support you however, besides the fact that your friends most probably already know what you do for a living, there is very low chance for engagement on their part within the community you are trying to establish, low engagement hurts your ranking. Its also very likely they will not enjoy being nagged or being viewed as just another possible business lead. Business and friends on Facebook should be separate. Personally, I don't appreciate being invited to pages which I'm clearly not a part of the target group. This tactic is used partly because business owners still focus on like numbers, instead of quality likes meaning actual business leads!
Take away: It's fine to invite friends to like your page but ONLY when it's truly relevant to them. Some pages I know have more then 50% friends who liked their page, meaning that you as a page owner, is wasting valuable time and marketing efforts on fans then will never become leads.
2. STOP spamming different groups and other pages timeline with your sales pitch and URL, not to mention the "Please like my page.." posts. It will only get you blocked and reported.
3. STOP doing business using your personal profile! There is a place for everything and practices such as sharing all your sale / work updates on your profile for example...It's a no no I'm afraid. ANNOYING! Your profile should be private, don't spam your friends. And since this is also against Facebook T & C, your profile will be suspended because of it! It just happened to two business owners I know, it took them months to be allowed to re join Facebook.
Take away: As a business you will gain much more if you create a page. So many tools such as ads will become available for you to truly build your business community. You can share the occasional update from your page to your personal profile to keep your friends in the loop (just in case), use the milestone and notes option instead.
4. Facebook (like) parties- Just don't do it! Remember, to succeed you must concentrate on Quality and not quantity. Such LIKE parties are normally hosted on big pages looking to enhance their own popularity at your expense. You are invited to share your page's URL with a short description on the party thread, and the rule when you join is that you must like everyone on there...Leading many times to hundreds of likes that are only spamming your page, and hurting it's ranking. This is basically a dis-service to both sides as they are both gaining likes however, most likely are irrelevant and will never visit your page, engage, share or become an actual lead. Basically it's spamming your own page with empty likes.
Take away: It's better to have 500 likes which hit the mark of your target group and that indeed have an interest in your product or services, meaning there's a chance of conversion then 20,000 likes who simply don't belong there. This also means all your marketing efforts will be in vain as your real target group isn't a part of your community.
5. Stop trying to find shortcuts. There are none..Provide quality content, solve a real problem for your target audience and you will succeed.
Just because other people are doing these things, it really isn't a good enough reason for you to follow in their footsteps.
Facebook is a social platform so THINK SOCIAL!
Your turn..

Basic Guidelines to #Facebook Advertising.
There are a number of options available for brands to use to advertise on Facebook.
Boost a Post:
Boosting a post is very easy to do and available for any post on your page's timeline. All you need to do is click Boost Post in the lower right corner of your post. When you click Boost Post, you have the option to choose either pushing the post to "People who like your page and their friends" or "People you choose through targeting." You'll also be able to set your budget. Choose this option when your goal is to reach more members, already in your community. Keep in mind, targeting in this case is limited. When you choose a targeted boosted post, it's typically to drive traffic to your website where you should have a strong call to action or purpose. As well as enhance your reach on Facebook.
Promote a Post:
Another way to push a post into the news feed is to use the Ads Manager or Power Editor to promote a post. The benefit of promoting a post is that you have more targeting, pricing and bidding options. To promote an organic post on your page go to your Ads manager and select Page Post Engagement. Use the drop-down menus to choose the page and the exact post you want to promote. When you click Continue, you'll see that the Page Post Engagement option gives you more targeting options and you can even use a conversion pixel if your post is sending traffic to your website where you've installed a conversion pixel.
Dark post:
Dark posts are basically unpublished posts that will not show on your timeline. These types of posts are good for people who are comfortable with Power Editor. So why use a dark post? One advantage is that it doesn't appear on your page's timeline. Your community will not see it as a regular update in their news feed, instead they'll see it only as an ad. That's particularly handy if you're doing split testing for several types of posts and you don't want to inundate your audience with similar posts all in a row.
Take away: Many marketers are using the boost post option because it's easy and accessible. It's located right on your page's timeline and can be done with two clicks. But it's not always the best option to reach the perfect audience. I think that most people should be using the promoted post option because it allows more control over who sees your ad and how you pay for it.
Facebook ads:
There are two different options for creating a Facebook advertisement — the Ads manager or Power editor. Once you feel comfortable with creating Ads with the Ads creator, it could be time to move on to Power Editor. This tool has a handful of features not available in the Ads creator, such as:
Developing and advertising dark posts.
Filtering your view by campaign, ad set or any tag you create
Creating bulk advertisements with the ability to import and export excel docs
Using the Audiences selection to make "Saved Target Groups," "Custom Audiences," and "Lookalike Audiences"
Step 1- Choosing a Facebook Campaign Objective: Page Post Engagement. Page Likes- Get Page likes to grow your audience and build your brand. Clicks to Websites- Get people to visit your website. Website Conversions- Get people to perform certain actions on your site. App Installs- Get people to install your mobile or desktop app. App Engagement- Get people to use your desktop app. Event Responses- Increase attendance at your event. Offer Claims- Create offers for people to redeem in your store.
Step 2- Choosing Your Campaign Budget.
Step 3- Choosing Your Facebook Audience. Here lies the key to your ad success! Facebook has a fantastic ability to segment an audience. Here are a few ways you can segment an audience on Facebook: Location, age, interests, gender, languages, education level, relationship status, political views and whether or not they are connected to your page. Facebook also gives advertisers the ability to upload their own information in order to make Custom Audiences. With Custom Audiences you can target users by using email addresses, phone numbers, User IDs or people who have visited your site. You can then take these Custom Audiences and have Facebook create "Lookalike Audiences" based on the demographics they all share.
Step 4- Choosing a Placement for Your Ad. Facebook Newsfeed. Facebook Mobile News Feed & Facebook Right-Hand Column Advertisements.
Thanks for reading, feel free to contact me with any questions you might have- [email protected]
To your success!

#Customerservice on social: Not IF - HOW!
Customer service offered by businesses online these days is a far cry from where it should be. Brands don't yet seem to care or understand their customers & their expectations regarding what they consider reasonable not to mention great customer service.
A professional customer service channel needs to be setup on social channels in an efficient way for every business. It's time for businesses to understand they must offer quality customer service even more on social because that's where people are looking for it, it's where they let it all out..
Basic fundamentals:
1. Customers and potential customers these days will turn to social media first either to check what is said about you and your brand experience, and to file a complaint or inquiry. The problem I see and have experienced myself is that there isn't one team-one channel that deals with this issue. Customers are being referred from one place to another which makes the whole process lengthy and annoying. Hardly the aim of customer service..
I filed a complaint with a very large travel organization, going to their Facebook page was the easiest and fastest solution at the time and though they replied within reasonable time, they said they can't really assist me and referred me to their website to fill out a form which was not working, and then gave me an email address. This was ridiculous to me mostly because I was already talking to someone!! Instead, it took close to five months to resolve the problem clearly making me upset I had to chase them for all these months.
2. RESPOND! Brands from small to big, do not respond to what is either said about them or to them.
3. Listen- Don't go on the defence immediately- know when to say: "Sorry we messed up let us make it up to you!" Sometimes that's all a customer wants to hear!
4. Be transparent. Let your customers get to know you as well as your brand better.
5. Make sure to follow up on reviews, complaints, comments and messages.
6. Make it easy for people to be able to get in touch with you.
Awesome customer service can go a really long way.
To your success!

How can you draw more attention to your #brand on #socialmedia ?
We already know that 'Create my profile and they will come..' doesn't work. What does work is LIVE apps. Video content shared in a way that provides you as well as your following, with real time together using visuals which has the best engagement rates out there.
You have a great way to actually show your brand, share behind the scenes, host events, Q & A sessions and more. In addition, since over 55% of users access their social platforms using their mobile phones, this way combines all these aspects together.
Examples of apps you can integrate into your marketing strategies:
1. Livestreaming 2. Periscope 3. Snapchat 4. Meerkat 5. Video blogging
6. Live Twitter parties 7. Webinars 8. Podcasts.
Depending on what type of business you have, you can find the perfect apps to use matching your needs.
And have fun while you do it :-)

A question I get asked many times over by business owners- "We have created a Facebook page for our company / brand however, it's not getting responses".
When working with new clients I always start with conducting an audit of the social media profiles the brand has online. Here is a list you too can use to audit your own Facebook page, you can then determain whether your page has a good foundation.
1. Cover image: Is it a quality image showcasing your brand accurately? Are you following T & C Facebook has in place? For example, did you know you are not allowed to have contact details on it such as email & phone number? Make sure it's the right size so it's viewed well.
For the updated sizes, click here: http://www.socialmediatoday.com/social-business/2016-social-media-image-size-cheat-sheet Thanks to Social media today for the update!
2. Profile image: Make sure this is the right size as determained by Facebook. I recommend your profile image show your logo. It helps to enhance brand recognition.
3. Create your unique URL so your page comes up better in Facebook search.
4. Very often overlooked- The About section. Make sure it's filled in, in full. Including your mission, milestones, awards, education, long description and more.
5. Are you using the right keywords in your page's About section ( long & short description).
6. Make sure your other social profiles are added such as Twitter.
7. Make sure you are using a methode of collection emails from your fans. Build your database for future email marketing. If you have a newsletter, add a subscription option.
8. Utilise well the Çall 2 Action button Facebook has introduced.
9. Create a varity of helpfull content. Keep in mind organic vidoe is the best way to reach your fans these days.
10. Make sure you chose the right page catagory and subcatagory.
If you have any question feel free to drop me a line: [email protected]
Good luck!

Networking is essential in this day and age. It's an important business skill we should all master. Behind many success stories you'll hear the phrase- "It's not what you know, it's who you know."
For some people it comes easy, more natural to participate in networking events. Especially those of us who are a people's person at heart. However, not everyone is a smooth talker comfortable with making small talk with people they have just met..
The key is what your preception of what networking really is. Networking is basically meeting new people in a social setting, it's a social event with a business element to it. Though that should not be your main focus. In many networking events I attend, I meet people coming in thinking it's about promoting their business as much as possible as fast as possible- Completely missing the point I might add. They come up to you and immediately start selling themselves handing out their business card ( never asking for yours in return)... The one question they do ask is what do you do?.. And if that's not within the target group they are aiming for, they simply walk off in search of the next victim so to speak.
Remember, each person / business owner attending the event with you might not need your services right there and then however, if you lay a fundation for a personal relationship they will remeber you when the time comes. Not to mention they have a whole network that might need such services. Focusing only of selling yourself will get you no where in this case.
Why do we get nervous during such events?..One way to tackle this issue is to come prepared. Think in advance for example about a few open questions you can use to strike up, or get he conversation going. Also think about what it is you feel people should know about you when they first meet you.
Once you're in, take a look around you and start by joining groups as opposed to couples talking. It takes the awkwardness away.
Networking is not about meeting as many people as possible or collecting business cards. It's about engaging with people, getting to know them and them you, on a personal level. This kind of first impression will stay with them well after they forgot your "sales pitch" and threw away your business card, as people tend to do when someone showed close to zero interest in them.
Build relationships with people! Work the room :-)
Why not bring a friend to make it easier on yourself or better yet, a fellow entrepreneur?
Don't make it all about yourself! It's about connecting with people rather then getting the word out about your business. Show interest in the person you're speaking with, ask questions but most important- Listen! And as I say, just be yourself and just enjoy yourself!

The 10 commandments you should follow to achieve success using Facebook to market your brand.
1. Think social! Just like you would in real life when meeting with new people.
2. Don't be afraid to show your personal side. Remember, people connect with people first, brands second.
3. Always add value for your fans!
4. Be consistent.
5. Content is KING & engagement is QUEEN.

7. It's not about you!
8. Have a clear goal, plan & strategy in place before getting started.
9. Facebook is not about push marketing.
10. Acitivate your community keeping things fresh and interesting. Don't just collect likes. It's about quality, not quantity.
To your success!

Create a business page on Facebook and the customers will come..That would be awesome however, it's simply doesn't happen that way.
Social media just like any other form of marketing needs setting goals, planning, having a strategy, investing time and running ads.
Did you know there are around 40 million active pages on Facebook? So what will set your page apart from your competitor? Getting through all that "noise" remains a daily challenge. Having your page set up properly is where it begins.
The foundation so to speak of your page is the first place to start. Many of these are widely overlooked by many brands having a brand page on Facebook. Attention to detail is very important in this case.
So what are the keys to creating a killer page?
1. Cover image: Your cover image should represent your brand to a T, a billboard for your business. This is the first image a visitor and potential customer will see. Make sure it is a quality & colorful image, make sure it's the right size as set by Facebook so it will fit and look well for mobile users a s well. Make sure you add a short but to the point discription and a link to your website for more details. You should update it at least once a month to keep it fresh and engaging. Social media is dynamic and so should your page be. Make sure you comply with the T & C so don't display a phone number on the image. You can always add that in the photo discription.
2. Profile image: This image is the one people will see when you post, comment and like so make sure it is relevant to your brand. Use your logo for example. This will help enhance brand recognition and brand awarness.
3. Claim your business URL.
4. The 'About' section of your page: I see it only too often when this section is only partly filled in if at all. Missing key information your clients need and want to know about is missing, and it looks unprofessional as well. Make it as easy as possible for people to learn about your brand and what you can do for them. Fill in all the tabs keeping search keywords in mind.
5. Choose the right page category and don't forget your sub category as well! Make it easy for your business to be found on Facebook.
Local business or place: If you have a store, a restaurant or an office with a physical address people can come to. People can check in when visiting. This will show on their feed for their friends to see enhancing your exposure.
Artist, band, or public figure.
Company, local business, organization, or institution.
Brand or product.
Cause of community.
6. Utilise your 'Call to action' button: Facebook has launch a while back a 'Call to action' tab offering a few options, depending on your goal you can choose from these options:
Call Now
Contact Us
Send Message
Use App
Play Game
Shop Now
Sign Up
Watch Video
This a great tool to use to drive traffic to your website / webshop, add subscribers to your newsletter as well as get more leads for email marketing campaigns and upgrade your customer service!
7. Be consistent! Have a clear goal set for your page, create a content plan & strategies to go with it. Make sure your posts are relevant to that and consistent. I recommend posting twice a day six days a week. In my professional opinion posting more then that per day unless you have a major event for example, is too much it only annoys people when you take over their news feed.
8. Make your content visually attractive.
9. Mix up your content. Always go for quality and not quantity! Experiement with what type of content works best for your page. Keep it fresh and entertaining. Types of content to consider:
Videos- This is the hottest type of content on Facebook. Facebook promotes organic video posts more then any other. Fans also react and engage with this type of post the most.
Share your blog posts and newsletters.
Share relavnt links.
Offer value to your fans in the form of 'How to' tutorials for example.
Behind the scenes.
Add on ocassion a personal touch so people get a feel of who stands behind the brand. People relate to people first, brands second.
Ask fans questions, create a poll or ask them for feedback is always a good way to go.
Motivations quotes.
Fun memos.
Relevant industry / niche news.
Run a fun contest for your fans.
10. Engage and respond to your fans! Always respond to likes and comments, answer messages & posts shared by visitors. I see it all the time, brands seem to completely ignore their fans, hurting their brand's reputation in the process and offering poor customer service.
11. Stay on top of trending topics, using it (carefully) in your content as well.
12. Use Facebook ads to get started and reach your target group.
13. Add the like box to your website.
14. Acquainte yourself with your page's insights so you're on top of what works and what doesn't. Adjusting it accordingly.
Time to give your page the look over and update it!
Do you need any help or guidence with your Facebook efforts? Would you like me to audit your page? Please feel free to contact me! :-)
Warm regards,
Diti Asiag,

"Don't build links, build relationships!" ~ Rand Fishkin.
Creating a successful marketing plan doesn't necessarily mean it should burn a hole in your pocket. Great marketing is often found in the small details and simple creativity therefore, it's not a big budget you should be relaying nor concentrating on.
These are some key strategies which take place behind the scenes so to speak, they involve mostly you, your staff and other business owners in your area & niche. Very effective and it won't cost you an arm and a leg.
Let's get started!
Joint Ventures- These are marketing actions you take together with other (relevant) business owners in your area. This is a strategy I recommend to all business owners by the way, it does bring great results! This strategy is about creating a WIN WIN situation for both businesses, combining strengths, reducing risks and sharing costs.
A bonus product of joint ventures is that it helps to develop brand and customer loyalty, and reaching a new audience.
I used this tactic in one of my businesses and it proved to be a major force to both growing my business, reaching new people and offering an extra to my existing clients which they really enjoyed, needed and therefore appreciated.
Of course, you're helping your fellow entrepreneur in the process.
On a large scale big multinationals also combine forces on occasion to benefit from eachother's strengths for profit.
For example, a foreign IT company aims at entering the US market and for that it joins forces with a U.S. based company for sale of its product. The foreign company then benefits from the domestic company's governmental approval and business relationships in the industry. This is referred as an "international joint venture."
An example for the small / business: Next to my car wash, a flower shop opened, they used unique kinds of flowers and had beautiful designs to their bouquets. They had a very tiny advertising budget.
I approached the owner and together we decided to join forces during weekends.
My clients have between 15 to 20 minutes wait while their car is being washed, it's also customary to bring flowers home for the Sabbath- Every client of mine received a 15% discount on the bouquet of their choice. Every client referred to me through them, received a free air freshener for their car when washing it.
People responded amazingly to this action from both ends! This way they could "kill" two birds with one stone. It seems like a small action perhaps but then again, it's not about creating a crazy campaign which you either have to spend a lot of money putting it together, or one that you loose money on just so you get new people in the door.
One of my clients is a real estate agent, I looked for ways for him to stand out from his competitors. He now offers in-house mortgage broker, insurance agent, a team of handyman and even movers. First consultation is always free. We identified a problem- When people rent or buy a home, they need to run around from one professional to another. Here it's a selection of quality professionals under one roof and for a special price. Win win!
Offer the people what they need!
Take a way: Think about the needs of your customers and what problem can you help solve for them. That's the key!
The next strategy adds another dimension to your marketing, I'm referring to Relationship marketing. What can I say, I'm a people person at heart
What is Relationship Marketing? Mari Smith defines it perfectly:
"Relationship marketing refers to everything you do to make your prospective and current customers aware of your products and services, position your business in their minds as the obvious choice, and help you to build lifelong, profitable relationships with them."
Relationship marketing is about forming long-term relationships with customers and not focus on one-time here and now sale.
The internet and social media offer great tools to accomplish this strategy. Think about simply asking your audience for feedback, allowing your audience to be a part of big decisions, run polls, take customer service to the next level and more.
Examples of Relationship Marketing collected by www.marketing-schools.org:
• Ikea – The Swedish furniture maker has a worldwide base of intensely loyal customers. When the company changed the font in their ubiquitous catalog, Ikea lovers took to the Internet to air their complaints. Rather than alienate their customers for a trivial reason, Ikea changed the font back in the next catalog.
• Direct Recruitment – The direct mail marketing firm sends out handwritten birthday cards to clients and associates every year. This simple, personal touch helps clients feel like Direct Recruitment cares about them as people rather than simply consumers.
• American Airlines – The airline maintains a comprehensive frequent flyer program that rewards customer loyalty with the promise of free flights, upgrades, and discounts.
This strategy is not about collaborting to launch a particular marketing campaign. Relationship marketing is a different kind of collaboration.
You can start by reaching out within your business community, engaging with business owners as well as customers.
Find a way to create win win situations which on the one hand, helps others and on the other hand, grows your business as a result.
Give first, the receiving will follow!
Let's say you are a life and finance coach and you're looking to grow your business. To do so, you need to constantly enhance your reach to new people.
Take a look at your local community, which businesses can you add value to? What can you offer them that they need?
Is there a community center for example, you could approach the manager and offer to come in one afternoon a week. You will meet with people, explain what coaching is all about, let them experience a short session with you for free. Ask if you could also leave your flier and business cards behind, these two actions combined would be great exposure for you.
There are places you could offer to give a lecture about coaching, you could approach your local university and appear as a guest speaker when a relevant opportunity comes up.
Join fairs or trade shows for example, ask to have your own booth when a fair relevant to your business is in town. Show what you do, what tools are you using for coaching and most importantly, show you! Get personal.
Take a way- The sky is the limit! Be creative but most importantly, be social!
Depending on what type of business you own, think what you can offer to add value to businesses around, what could their clients need but are missing out on right now?
Let them sample your product or service or offer something of an educational value.
This way, you add value to that business while reaching and enhancing your own reputation, exposure, estblishing credibility with in your community and getting your name out there. You offer your help, people will take you on it mostly because you are starting a real relationship with them- long term!
It's not just for a duration of sale! This will help build trust between both side as well lead to creating a community. These two goals are the foundation for relationship marketing. Its about shifting your focus from selling to serving!
This takes us to our next option- Refferal marketing!
It's very simple- Your customers are happy with your product or service and customer service, think of a way to motivate them to talk about their experiences and recommend you to their network. They become your brand ambassadors but don't forget- Make it worth their while!
Happy customers refer people to your business, in return they are rewarded in some way. Some offer a discount once new business comes in through a referal, some offer a bonus of some sort. It really depends on what kind of business you own and how much money is spent by a customer on average.
In my business I offered special discounts to people bringing a friend in with them physically. A special members club which people loved.
Our final strategy to help reach new audience and extend brand awareness is by collaborating with the top influencers in your industry.
Last but not least, have fun with your marketing!
So, are you using these strategies in your marketing plan yet? You should!
Feel free to add your comments, experiences and ideas below!

Environmental Migration in Turkey: Challenges, recognition and implications for policy
Due to increasing implications of climate change and other environmental degradations on the livelihoods of people, it has become significantly important to consider migration as an adaptation strategy. In the case of Turkey, one of the main economic sectors affected by climate change is agriculture. The increase in temperature, melting of glaciers and the change in rain patterns raise the frequency of droughts and heat waves, causing shortages of water in the periods for cultivation, a situation that threatens food security. The decrease in agricultural production causes migration to urban cities and change of profession.

Leaders of a local gay and lesbian support group hope a new documentary sheds light on homosexuality and faith.
On Sunday evening, more than 300 people turned out at Victory Square Theaters to see "For the Bible Tells Me So," a 95-minute documentary on how five unrelated Christian families reconciled their faith with the knowledge that a family member was gay or lesbian.
Local film society Reel Savannah showed the movie as part of its regular Sunday series. The movie was played in two auditoriums to accommodate ticket sales. A panel discussion scheduled after the movie was recorded in one auditorium and broadcast live for viewers in the other.
Featured families included those of former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt - whose daughter, Chrissy, is a lesbian - and openly gay Episcopalian Bishop Gene Robinson.
The movie included interviews with theologians and clerics, including Bishop Desmond Tutu, who assert that scripture has been misinterpreted in ways that hurt gays and lesbians and create strife in faithful Christian families.
Many of the parents interviewed were ordained pastors. All were lifelong Christian laypersons who raised their children participating in church. All described feelings of shock, horror and denial when their child came out to them.
Some parents changed their point of view after seeking counseling and information. Others held firm to their belief that the Bible condemns homosexuality.
One mother, Mary Lou Walner, wrote to her daughter that she could never accept the young woman's lesbian lifestyle.
In the movie, Walner said she believes that reaction was what eventually led to her daughter's suicide.
After the viewing, Walner joined a panel discussion that included filmmaker Daniel Karslake; David Poteat, a North Carolina Baptist minister whose family is featured in the film, and the Rev. Billy Hester, pastor of Asbury Memorial United Methodist Church in Savannah.
Harry Knox, a south Georgia native and director of religious programs at the Washington, D.C.-based Human Rights Campaign, moderated the panel.
Poteat, who had condemned homosexuality in the movie but had expressed a love for his daughter, received one of the first questions from the audience: What advice he could offer to both children and adults to ease the pain of coming out?
"My daughter, she just kept showing me love," Poteat said. "If you can as a parent communicate with your child and not push them away, then I think you can come together, as long as you can keep showing love.
"I've changed. I really have."
The movie was the first for Karslake, who began covering religious issues in the gay and lesbian community in 1999 as a reporter for the documentary show "In the Life" broadcast on public television.
Through his coverage, Karslake said he noticed that although many gays and lesbians felt excluded from the Christian community, a number of theologians were increasingly speaking out about misinterpretation of scripture regarding homosexuality.
The Rev. Billy Hester said he's waited a long time for the message in "For the Bible Tells Me So" to come to Savannah. Hester's congregation at Asbury Memorial United Methodist Church in Savannah advertises regularly in local publications targeting the gay and lesbian community.
"We are very affirming of straight and gay people at our church, but even people who've been at our church for many years, gay people, will come up to me once in a while and say, 'Billy, do you really think I'm OK?' This is somebody who I assumed has felt OK for a long while," Hester said.
"We just need to keep affirming people over and over again."
The panel was organized and paid for by Stand Out Youth, a local support group for those aged 14 to 23 who suspect they are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered. The group is a spin-off from the First City Network, a community service organization for the local gay and lesbian community.
Stand Out Youth hosts discussions and activities every Friday night designed to help young people cope with common issues.
Stand Out board member Bob Dunn said in an interview last week the group was inspired to organize the viewing and panel by news in October of historic Christ Church's split from the Episcopal Church of the U.S.
That and other stories of theological battles over gays and lesbians being ordained or married can lead young people to believe they're not welcome in the church, he said.

, Delhi India (PressExposure) July 01, 2008 -- According to âChina Footwear Market Analysisâ, a new market research report by RNCOS, the footwear production industry is now shifting towards Asian countries due to the huge availability of raw material and low cost of production in these countries, especially in China, the largest footwear producer.
As per the report, a large pool of skilled labor available at substantially low cost in China is proving advantageous, particularly for the labor-intensive industries such as footwear and leather goods manufacturing. Also, China is one of the lowest cost footwear producers among the major footwear producing countries, says the report. In addition to low-cost, the country also boasts of the largest technically-trained human resources in leather craft across the globe.
Apart from this, operating conditions in the Chinese footwear industry also distinguish it from other countries. The footwear industry is not restricted by ethical issues and red tape and gains from the protective political rule with rather compliant workforce and low labor unrest.
Supported by the technical skills and low cost benefits, China has gained a competitive edge over its competitors, becoming the largest exporter of footwear worldwide. And in the absence of a close competitor, the country is expected to retain its status of the largest footwear exporter in near future.
The research study âChina Footwear Market Analysisâ provides detailed analysis and data on the footwear industry of China to help client in identifying the opportunities to tap in the Chinese footwear industry. It presents a rational and objective forecast on per head disposable income and volume of footwear retail sales in the country. The forecast given in the report is based on a correlation between past market growth and growth of base drivers and gives a direction to clients in which the industry is likely to move.

String it!
Another quick project to share with you guys. I decided I wanted to jazz up my dining room chandelier by adding a hit of colour. I thought about fabric or wallpaper but then decided on a string d.i.y. I checked out the dollar store but couldn't find yellow which is my colour of choice. They had a great pink and green if you decide to try it. Only a dollar for a new light. Not bad. Eventually I found some yellow at Walmart, 225 yards for $4. I used a glue gun and wound the string around, not difficult but time consuming. It took me an hour or so while watching t.v. Then I ended up with a jazzy yellow striped shade and a sore back but it was worth it!
It's easier than you think sometimes to change it up. There are supplies and ideas everywhere. Look around and try something!

Jalousie Bed is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stajane from Beautiful We have been looking for months for a bed frame and this one is perfect! It's very well built, sturdy and beautiful.

How does a box spring fit on this?
Does the box spring fit down in the bed or on top - would you see the box spring?
No box spring is needed. If you used one it would only sit in the frame an inch or two. The bed would be very high with a box sting and mattress.

Pushing to make workplaces more accepting of workers with disabilities
By Daniel Smrokowski
In October, we celebrated National Disability Employment Awareness Month, a time for us to learn about the many and varied contributions of workers with disabilities; a time to focus on an individual's abilities and gifts; and a time when we educate our communities about how companies should see us as individuals who bring our individual skills and gifts to the workplace.
Take for example, one of my employers — this newspaper. In January 2014, the Bugle hired me as both a freelance reporter and a columnist. They recognized my skills as a journalist and didn't see my disabilities as a barrier. This is one of many recent companies who are acknowledging how those of us with special needs can contribute to the workplace.
This year marks the 70th anniversary since the first observance of the National Disability Employment Awareness Month in 1945. The theme for this year is "My Disability is One Part of Who I Am," according to the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy. In celebration of this year's theme, it's vital that employers recognize that our disabilities are just one part of who we are. Employers need to learn about the various skills and gifts that we can offer the workforce.
Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to go on a job interview at a local video retail store. I was able to get this job interview because of being a client at the Helping Hand Center, a local agency that benefits children and adults with disabilities. After I received a phone call from the store's manager, I called the community job placement coordinator at the Helping Hand Center. An hour before the job interview, we met at a nearby cafe to practice some mock interview questions.
This past summer, "The Shriver Report Snapshot: Insight Into Intellectual Disabilities in the 21st Century" reported that only 56 percent of Americans personally know someone with an intellectual disability, while 42 percent of Americans have no personal contact with a person with an intellectual disability. It was in partnership that The Shriver Report and Special Olympics launched a new challenge called "PLAY – Let's Change The Game." Its mission is to encourage all people to play, learn, accept and say "yes" together. The goal is to change the world to have common ground among people of all abilities.
Similar to the new Let's Change The Game campaign, the Best Buddies organization has a campaign to hire people with special needs. "I'm In To Hire" is Best Buddies' new campaign that promotes the business benefits of hiring people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, according to the campaign's website. I'm In To Hire motivates employers to create a more inclusive workplace.
This campaign was founded by Best Buddies International and supported by the Institute for Corporate Productivity. The I'm In To Hire campaign helps to unify the voices of employers and employees alike in support of hiring those of us with special needs. The campaign notes that 85 percent of people with developmental disabilities do not have a paid community job. The campaign aspires to change the world to see the value that we bring to the workforce.
Similar to the I'm In To Hire campaign, my goal through this column and through the podcasts at Special Chronicles, is to unify the voices of those of us with special needs so the world can better understand the abilities that we do have.
According to the National Core Indicators from 2012-13, intellectual and developmental disabilities include but are not limited to Down syndrome, Autism, Fragile X, Williams syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, and other undiagnosed intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The #ImInToHire campaign reports that 73 percent of business who hire employees with special needs have a positive experience.
Anyone can pledge their support of the #ImInToHire campaign at www.imintohire.org. In doing so, you will not only be spreading awareness but you'll also be recognizing the contributions that all of us can bring to an inclusive workplace.
At another of my recent employers, my supervisors and coworkers had a positive experience. Some of those who I worked with had experience working with those of us with special needs. At the same time, some may not have had the best understanding of the gifts that we bring to the workplace.
A few months ago, a coworker approached me and shared how they felt sorry that my friends and I had special needs. In an effort not to judge this coworker, the person might not yet have a good understanding of how to work with someone who has special needs. In another incident, this same coworker had spoken up for me when some other coworkers were seen making fun of me because I had special needs. This worker had recognized this unfair treatment of me and approached our supervisor. Perhaps by having me in this workplace, I touched this coworker's heart and opened their mind.
Companies should hire those of us with special needs not just for charity but because it's the right decision. We are individuals who each bring our individual gifts and skills to the workplace.
One of my dreams here at Special Chronicles, a pioneering nonprofit new media company, is to help create a more inclusive workplace. One can acquire many valuable skills here at Special Chronicles. One can attain skills in interviewing, communication, journalism and broadcasting. One can also learn how to motivate and inspire others. Special Chronicles is a media platform where we work together to make our voices heard.
At any and all places of work, we can show the world how every person with special needs brings individual gifts and skills to organizations.
Join me and let's change the game for a more inclusive workplace.

Sixty-one Dutch nationals died in the Libyan plane crash at Tripoli airport Wednesday, the Dutch tourism federation ANWB said, adding that a Dutch boy had survived.
"Sixty-one Dutch people were killed," when an Afriqiyah Airways plane from Johannesburg crashed around 6:00 am (0400 GMT), ANWB spokesman Ad Vonk told AFP.
Only one Dutch passenger, a boy, survived the crash, said Vonk. "He is in hospital."
The ANWB declined to give out any information on the victims or the lone survivor.
The 62 Dutch passengers had been in two separate organised tour groups on their way to Brussels and Dusseldorf, with a stop-over in Tripoli.
Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende earlier told a press conference he had been informed that a Dutch child had been the only survivor, "but I don't have any further details".
Describing this as "sad news", the premier said embassy staff were at the scene of the crash "to offer help and to assess the situation on the ground."
A crisis team has also been set up in the foreign ministry.
"Our thoughts are with those who are waiting in uncertainty," said Balkenende.

Bacterial Vaginosis
What are the causes of Bacterial Vaginosis?
Most often, if the pH balance of your vagina is somehow disbalanced, you would let the bad bacteria grow inside your vagina. So the core solution is to not let the vaginal pH get disbalanced.
Bacterial vaginosis causes are usually attribuetd to the following.
New sex partners - this is an extremely common cause
Menopause - this is something that you may want to opt for prevention rather than waiting to get infected and then trying to cure after enduring the pain
Anemia - lack of blood (red blood corpusles) in body
The bottomline is that your vagina is now infected with bacterial and is disturbing the pH balance (the acid-base balance) inside your vagina. Since the vagina is a delicate organ, this balance must be maintained at the right level. Remember, the vagina always has a balance of good and bad bacteria, even in the normal conditions. BV occurs only when the bad bacteria outgrows the good bacteria and the healthy balance of bacteria is destroyed.
Also remember that it is not necessary that you must have had sex to have acquired BV - so just because you are virgin it does not exclude you from being vulnerable to bacterial vaginosis.
There are excellent natural cures that can help you achieve this balance quickly and in the process also fully remove bacterial infection. See, the vagina is a delicate organ and a bad chronic bacterial vaginosis may lead to much deeper problems. Take good care of it and eradicate it at the earliest.
Natural cures
work really well for bacterial vaginosis, even better than the normal over-the-counter products and other conventional treatments. Even recurring forms of this problem are cured by natural therapies but do not easily go away, if at all, using over-the-counter products.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN/AP) — Late Wednesday afternoon, the case of 7 people on trial for the takeover and occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge went to the jury.
The jury will begin deliberations Thursday morning.
Ryan Bundy told jurors to "stand for freedom" and find him not guilty as he gave his closing argument Wednesday in the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupation trial.
Ryan, 43, and his brother Ammon Bundy are among 7 defendants being tried on a charge of conspiring to impede federal employees from doing their work at the refuge through threats, intimidation or force.
The reason Ryan joined the protest, he explained, was to support ranchers Dwight and Steve Hammond who he believes were wrongly imprisoned. He said federal government overreach not only put the Hammonds behind bars, but continues to imperil the economies of places like Harney County.
He said Malheur has gone from "the jewel of Harney County" to "the biggest weed patch in the country" because the federal government controls the land and restricts logging and ranching.
"At some point the people have to insist that the government is not our master," he said. "They are our servants, and we have given them a duty."
Ryan did not deny taking over workspaces at the refuge that belonged to U.S. Fish and Wildlife employees, but repeated what other defendants have said throughout the trial by claiming there was no conspiracy to prevent them from going to work.
In her closing argument, Shawna Cox's lawyer Tiffany Harris said she wanted to remind jurors "the refuge is a public place and these are public employees."
Harris said the government wants to sell a story about "a bunch of outsiders coming in and creating a problem." But she argued "the problem was already there."
David Fry's attorney told the jury Wednesday his client is "not a man of threats". He said Fry could not have had a "conscious purpose" of impeding workers because he didn't even know USFWS employees worked at the refuge.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Ethan Knight gave his closing argument Tuesday and urged jurors to use common sense when deciding whether to find the occupiers guilty.
Knight said the occupiers made a choice "to take over someone else's workplace," and that the case is about the law, not claims of federal government overreach.
But in his closing remarks, Ammon Bundy's attorney Marcus Mumford said his client didn't have a problem with refuge employees.
"It was with their employer, the federal government," Mumford said. "It wont respect its limits."
Mumford reiterated many points that Ammon made when he testified for 3 days earlier this month, including that the presence of firearms ensured the protest wouldn't be immediately stormed by armed federal agents.
The lawyer said the plan was to take ownership of the refuge by adverse possession, occupying it for years and then turning it over to local officials.
Several defendants testified they only had brief interactions with Ammon and other leaders during the occupation. Some said they were inspired to join the group at the refuge after learning about the Hammonds' case. Others said they wanted to take a stand against what they described as decades of federal government overreach.
KOIN 6 News will be in court Wednesday with the latest updates

AnnaSophia Robb to Play One-Armed Surfer Bethany Hamilton
by Ethan Anderton
February 4, 2010
With the exception of Point Break and Surf Ninjas (that's right, I admit it) most of the truly great surfing films come in the form of documentaries like The Endless Summer and Step Into Liquid. And while Surf's Up is certainly a fine tribute to the sport, the fact that it's animated knocks it down from being a real surfing flick in the rules that I just made up. But now we're going to be riding some serious waves as Variety reports AnnaSophia Robb (Race to Witch Mountain) will star in Soul Surfer, a biopic about Bethany Hamilton, a professional surfer, who has prevailed in competitions despite losing an arm in a shark attack at age 13.
Joining Robb in the Sean McNamara-directed (of Bratz: The Movie previously) surfing flick is Dennis Quaid (oddly enough not as the surfboard) as well as Helen Hunt as Hamilton's parents. Additionally, and making her feature film debut, country singer Carrie Underwood will play a church youth leader. Based on Hamilton's autobiography of the same name (pick it up on Amazon), the film will chronicle the struggles she faced adapting to her missing appendage. Since surfing is about balance, and the arms play an integral role in maintaining that balance on the board, I can only imagine how hard it was not giving up.
Robb will probably have to work very hard during surfing lessons to become an expert, but I wonder if she'll have her arm taped behind her back (which could be dangerous) to be removed digitally after, or if it will all be done with special effects and/or a prosthetic. It's very possible that a stunt surfer will do most of the more difficult surfing sequences (maybe even Hamilton herself), but I can't imagine an actor just letting it go that easily. Either way, this is a very interesting movie to look forward to. What do you guys think?

I stayed at Mayfield on my way to and from a mission trip to Nakuru, Kenya. The rooms were comfortable with nice pillows and mattresses and windows that opened to cooling breezes. It was refreshing to have a wonderful warm shower and soft, sweet smelling towels. Meals are family style and scheduled so you have a chance to sit down with others - often missionaries going to and from their fields - and have great conversations and fellowship. On our way back to the States, we used Mayfield as a resting spot before heading to the airport. We did not stay overnight but had rooms for changing clothes and a bathroom or two to freshen up. Mayfield has a lovely garden area with a quiet place to sit and read or chat with friends. And it has WiFi so you can catch up with friends and family back home. The staff are really lovely too!

Obviously, you bought your Series 60 Fleetwood because you wanted to buy long-lasting quality and a trusted brand both impeccably combined into one automobile. Cadillac automobile enthusiasts have become used to a certain level of performance when driving their Series 60 Fleetwood around town. You purchased your Series 60 Fleetwood because its a reputation for strength and unique styling struck a chord inside you; so why would you be okay with second rate when it comes to superior quality auto parts? Car aficionados appreciate the a reliable name built into each Cadillac, and know that only the best replacement Series 60 Fleetwood parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing.
Believe it or not, but for a long time there was no such thing as power steering. If you suspect your Cadillac Series 60 Fleetwood power steering pressure hose has developed a leak, turn the engine on and crank the wheel all the way to the right and then all the way back to the left. If you see hydraulic fluid pouring out from under the driver's side of the car or front of the engine, then you've found the leak. Without a power steering pressure hose, it becomes very difficult to maneuver your vehicle... especially at low speeds. That's because the power steering pressure line on your Cadillac Series 60 Fleetwood takes the hydraulic pressure generated by the power steering pump and sends it to the steering gear box. There, the motions you make when you are steering are assisted by the pressurized fluid... all thanks to the power steering pressure hose.
Ordering new Cadillac parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement Series 60 Fleetwood parts on the internet. When your Cadillac needs the best replacement Power Steering Line - Pressure, there's no need to trust any store other than the authority, Car Parts Discount. Given all the trouble that can be involved with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make purchasing it easy. If your car or truck was built in 1964, 1963, then you will find the correct Cadillac Series 60 Fleetwood Power Steering Line - Pressure parts right here.

Re: Best time to visit WDW?
The best time I've found for WDW is definitely the two and a half months from Labor Day to the week before Thanksgiving. The weather in Florida is usually great (pay no attention to last year's last hurricane), and you'll have the parks and resorts pretty much to yourself. This is normally when all the hotels on-property and off have the best rates, too.
If you can make the time, the only disadvantages to the autumn are the occasional hurricane (I've been here seven years, and only during the '04 season did we get storms) and some attractions close for annual rehab.

Re: Best time to visit WDW?
I wholeheartedly recommend going in late October, particularly during WDW's 3 night Mickey's-Not-So-Spooky-Haloween celebration. If you buy your special event tickets via telephone and time your dinners right (so that you're eating in one of the resteraunts while the rest of the folks are getting ushered out of the park and/or standing in line outside the park awaiting entrance to the M.N.S.S.H), you'll be able to stay in the park for 15 hours straight!
Also on the plus side: The ride lines during this time of year are also very short, the weather is warm but not brutally hot and the hotels are cheaper.
On the bad side: There isn't much in the way of strreet entertainment or parades.
Wait, I take that back.
During the M.N.S.S.H. there are special parades featuring costumed versions of Mickey and friends as well as as almost every Disney villain ever!The Hedgehog's Dilemma

Re: Best time to visit WDW?
It is probably pretty busy, during the first part of May isn't it. We hav eto go for a convention, and want to make a vacation out of it. We went last year, in October, and it was great, weather was fantastic, hotel was inexpensive, and there were absolutely no wait times, plus M.N.S.S.H. is fantastic. but, i am worried that it will be brutal during the 1st part of May (4-10), probably humid, with terrible wait times.

text: The Coast Guard Cutter Barque Eagle will arrive in Port Everglades Friday at noon. The Eagle began its seven-day trip to Dania, Fla., after departing Nassau, Bahamas, June 14. The Eagle will be visiting Port Everglades as part of a summer training mission for training cadets before returning to its homeport of New London, Conn. As the flagship of the U. S. Coast Guard Academy, the Eagle's primary mission is to serve as a platform for training Academy cadets in the fundamental disciplines of seamanship. Through practical application, cadets learn navigation, engineering and ship maneuvering. In addition, they set more than 22,000 square feet of sail and control more than 20 miles of rigging lines while under way. The Eagle offers future officers the opportunity to put into practice the navigation, engineering and other professional theories they have previously learned in the classroom. Upperclass trainees exercise leadership and service duties normally handled by junior officers, while underclass trainees fill crew positions of a junior enlisted person. Approximately 900 men and women attend the Academy, all of whom sail at one time or another on America's only active duty square-rigger. Recreational boaters are advised to maintain appropriate distance from the vessel due to security zones.
