OIL SPILL IN THE GULF: Don't drop your visit to Gulf Coast

By Special to The Birmingham News

By LUCY "LULU" BUFFETT

I can't remember when we have had a lovelier spring along the Gulf Coast.

In recent years, we have gone from crisp, clear mornings in February to tropical 90s temps by mid-March. But this year, it finally seemed we were getting back to normal -- back to the easy, Southern rhythms of my childhood, with the winter season moving gently into a luscious spring.

Spring was taking its own sweet time unfolding before diving head-on into the desperate heat of summer.

Everyone could feel it. You couldn't help but notice the majesty and color of the coastal foliage bursting with brilliant pinks and purples, sounding the calls that we wait for all year long: "Let's go to the beach!" "The fish are biting at the Big Mouth!" "Let's take a boat ride!" "Tadpoles are out in the creek!"

That is how we live here on the Gulf Coast. Our love of the water -- the Gulf, the bays, the rivers, the estuaries -- and the way we enjoy it are absolutely holistic. It transcends race, religion, socioeconomic status, age, gender and political affiliation.

The Gulf Coast is where the everyday person can play. We love where we live and are proud of it.

We get amused sharing it and seeing the surprise on folks' faces when they realize that a little piece of unlikely paradise exists smack at the bottom of this magnificent country of ours.

So imagine our dismay, anger, grief and absolute heartbreak over the ongoing catastrophe of crude oil continuously and arrogantly flowing into our beautiful Gulf of Mexico. This is indeed a major challenge for us physically, emotionally, environmentally and economically.

Personally, I prefer to remain positive about the oil spill's impact, because I know mountains can be moved with a positive attitude. Why wouldn't that work with a runaway well? I do, however, live in a very real world, and I know our corner of this world stands to be affected by the oil spill.

As we are called to action, we will respond with the dauntless spirit of coastal people, especially those born in the hurricane corridor. We will weather this storm as we have weathered the other monsters that have roared upon our shores in the past: by working hard, side by side, with dedication, compassion and a sense of community, and earning some fun in the process.

I am hoping there will be little damage or interruption of beach recreation. Perhaps the oil spill will be just an inconvenience, much like too many jellyfish in the water or the occasional riptides.

If not, we are going to need everyone's love, support and help. So I have a very special invitation for people to join us here in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach and on Dauphin Island and Mobile Bay.

Don't cancel your plans or reservations. This could be one of the most memorable vacations you will ever have.

Most of you travel with children. What a great opportunity to teach our kids so many valuable life lessons -- from the beauty of volunteering to the importance of helping your neighbor during a crisis, learning about the fragile ecosystem that created the remarkable Gulf of Mexico, and meeting new friends from all over the country with the same purpose of keeping our beautiful shores safe for our children and wildlife.

Recently, I asked a friend's 6-year-old if she knew how many oceans there were. "One, Miss Lucy," she promptly responded. Then with a little hesitation, she added, "Don't they all touch?"

Out of the mouths of babes.

What is happening in our backyard could just as easily be happening in yours. But does it matter? We are all one. We all touch.

Am I outraged? Yes! Is there a need for accountability? Yes! But that is not my job. There are others who are trained and better equipped to master that task. I'm a fry cook. I'm open for business. And so is the Alabama Gulf Coast.

We will take each day as it comes and make the best of it.

I am asking all of you who love this area as much as I do and love your own coastal areas to please not abandon us.

I promise you we will welcome you with open arms, some ice-cold sweet tea, an ocean of belly laughs, a plate full of scrumptious food and a humble, grateful heart.

UGG Classic Tall Boots 5815 Chestnut

ennis shoes have gone from being footwear for kids to become one of the most popular types of shoes worn today. The people who design this fancy footwear have become in demand stars in their own right. With fans from every avenue of popular culture, from Hip Hop music to extreme sports. Everyone wears sneakers from moms to gamers to busy corporate executives.

The first sports footwear were actually called croquet footwear because they were worn by the wealthy of the late 1800s to play the popular lawn game they got their name from. The first croquet footwear were much too expensive for the average person to afford.

As technology and sports advanced so did athletic footwear. The manufacturers of today no longer make shoes for playing sports as an offshoot of their primary business. The sneakers are the primary business. Billions are made each year from sneaker sales.

The more mainstream designs come from teams of college educated fashion designers, researchers and engineers who spend hundreds of man hours testing and tweaking their products.

Sneaker design is big business. And big money for the designer or team of designers that creates a great new product.

Todays sports footwear wearers are business leaders, politicians, artists, entertainers, educators and religious leaders. Walk into any grade school, high school, college, university or trade school and you will see the majority of the students wearing sneakers. It is not uncommon to see doctors and nurses walking the halls of hospitals wearing scrubs and sneakers purely for the comfort factor.

Tennis shoes were once relatively inexpensive and many still are. But having become very popular they can cost a great deal of money. The research that goes into the higher end pairs can be extensive. The athletic shoe industry employs scientists, doctors, podiatrist, athletes and many others to continually improve their products. The competition is fierce but the rewards are great.

The ease of use and comfort sneakers provide the wearer make them popular with every generation. The young, old and everyone in between wear tennis shoes. The rubber soles do not slip on wet sidewalks and the soft durable uppers help ease foot pain. Each year sneaker companies introduce new styles in a myriad looks, colors, textures, weights and heights. Sales are not waning, but increasing. In some cases endorsement deals for athletes are more lucrative than actually playing their sport. A big chunk of this revenue comes from doing sneaker commercials. Satisfied consumers have made tennis shoes a worldwide staple.

Another key is public tastes. Once a particular pair becomes popular among the masses, sales increase. Word of mouth, better known as street credibility is a vital part of the athletic shoe phenomenon. Marketers understand how to manipulate the cool factor. Not all footwear are created equal and no amount of marketing can guarantee the success of an inferior product. The manufacturers of tennis shoes have elevated the success of their products through the intelligent use of science and marketing.

 

The last time I heard "It's made in China" it was from a friend complaining about a product made by a Chinese manufacturer. Wearing Italian clothes sounds better than wearing Chinese clothes, and still when running a clothes business we are all looking for a Chinese clothing manufacturer. Why? Read this.A business needs to be profitable i.e. make money. So all those running a clothes business need to get their clothes cheap (overseas) in order to sell them in line with the domestic market.It's probably some sort of automatism that we have developed during the years, to imagine that anything we get at a cheap price must have been made in China.It's also common place to associate poor quality to the "made in China" label. This being said, I am fully conscious that I personally own many great quality products that have been made in Asia.Those looking for Moncler Mens Maya Down Jacket in Shiny Black and type "clothing manufacturer in China" when searching on the net.The cost of labor in China, even if rising year after year, is still lower than in the USA, Europe or Australia. With the cost of labor increasing every year after the Chinese New Year and with the cost of shipping merchandises constantly rising with the price of petrol, the question is: How long will Chinese clothing manufacturers keep this edge?Logically people searching for clothing manufacturer in China are first looking for a competitive Moncler Womens Quincy Down Jacket in Blue ...wherever it is. For now the salary of a sewer in China is around 120$ per month (Nov 2008). The cost of labor is about the same (in fact 5 to 10% less) in neighboring countries: Vietnam, Cambodia etc... So when choosing the right clothes manufacturer for your order, keep your mind opened. What everyone is really looking for is a reliable clothing manufacturer. Each retailer, wholesaler, brand designer dreams to get great quality clothes and cheap of course. My personal opinion is that all clothing manufacturers can do about the same clothes for about the same price. The difference will be in the extras, not all manufacturers will do the extra mile for you. The logic first step when selecting a clothing manufacturer seems to get a few quotations from a couple of clothing manufacturers. It's also an opportunity to test the consultant who is taking your call. Does the consultant understand you? Can he answer all your questions? If not, is he diligently getting back to you with more details? Does size matters? Yes, the size of your order matters, everybody knows that. If it is low, many manufacturers in China will not deal with it; unless they have a department specialized in small quantity orders of clothes with a low minimum. Go for the largest factory possible, but take one that is small enough to care about you. The location of the clothing factory, whether it is in China or Vietnam is not so important. What matters is who you deal with. An especially important person for you is the consultant who answers your questions, take your order and keep you posted. Ultimately, since the consultant answers to you, he is responsible for your order. Rely on the facts, if your consultant make a promise to you and that promise is not followed Always try to commit your consultant to call you back or email you some details. Each commitment you obtain gives you a chance to test your professional relationship. Ideally your consultant follows your order at every stage: cutting, printing, sewing and packing. From a clothing manufacturer's perspective, it does make sense that the consultant follows closely the orders in the pipeline. The consultant, in the company, is the one who knows the most about your expectations. My final thought: Whatever the country, Quality depends on People. Moncler Womens Tulsa Jacket in Red

tommygreene09Title:Selecting the Best MajorArticle:After you have selected the college you want to attend and after you have applied and been accepted, it will be time to decide on a major. There are many different factors that will go into this decision and it is important to consider it carefully. The decision that you make will have an impact on the rest of your life including what career you go into and how you will spend many of your days following school. While some people know exactly what career they want to pursue from the very beginning of college, there are usually very few. Most students will end up changing their major three or four times before they find the option that best suits them. The final choice that you make will be dependent on your skills, interests, and what you want to achieve during your lifetime. One of the biggest challenges that many students have in making the final decision is that they are simply interested in so many different things. As a result, they are forced to let go of some of their interests for a period of time to pursue another interest. The first thing you can do to start narrowing down your interests and deciding on one thing you want to do is to evaluate yourself. Decide whether you prefer numbers or words or music. Then consider, whether or not you like to work with others or if you prefer to work alone, with abstract ideas or with solid objects, and so forth. Answers to these questions will narrow down the list of possible choices significantly. You will probably still need to go on and ask yourself what interests you the most, what subjects you have enjoyed studying in the past, which topics you did the best in and why, and which topics you did the worst in and why. Evaluating your weaknesses can also help you eliminate certain options from the list. Think about what has been your greatest accomplishment in school as well. This may be one of the areas where you have the most talent and it may be something that you will want to look into as a major. As all majors require some kind of reading, you may also want to consider what you enjoy reading about and why you enjoy it. If there is a particular area that you like to read about for fun, then you may have found the best option for you. Think about whether you retain what you read as well. A major like English or history will be significantly easier if you remember the majority of what you read for a long time. However, if you are more talented at math a science or math related major may be the best option for you. Another thing you will want to consider is whether or not you can clearly convey what you mean when you are writing. Writing is important for all majors, but it is definitely more of an emphasis in some areas than in others. The next thing you will want to do after you have asked yourself these questions and evaluated yourself, is write down a list of things that you do well. This will help you define what you do well and what could use some improvement. Most students end up majoring in something that they are talented at doing and which they enjoy. Very few select something only because it is challenging and difficult. It is much harder to become successful in a career if you are not naturally talented at it, but it can be done if your work hard. However, it is generally best to start ahead of the game with something that you already enjoy and which you feel you are good at doing. Some of the other questions you will want to answers include what are you good at, what subjects do your struggle with, and what kinds of things come easily to you. Another reason why it is a good idea to select something that you love and are interested in is because you will be much more motivated to study and do well in class if this is the case. While GPA is not everything when it comes to finding a job, it definitely plays a significant role and it is very important to keep as high as you can. The higher your grades, the better chance you will have of obtaining a good job directly out of college. There are probably many other things that you will want to consider as well, but these things can get you started.
