Happy Wednesday, folks! 5 more days to go before the end of another Spoleto USA season and Charleston Scene continues to ask a question a day as a countdown to the finale.

Want in on the conversation? Follow Charleston Scene (@chasscene) this week and have your say.

Yesterday, we asked our Twitter faithful: If you were in charge of programming, who would you bring to Spoleto USA 2011? Here’s what they said:

  1. Excelentes consejos! Muchas gracias por compartirlos voy a ponerlos en practica!

  2. Who knows what happens next… All I know is:
    Diplomacy is the art of saying good doggie while looking for a bigger stick. :)

  3. I think that is an interesting point, it made me think a bit. Thanks for sparking my thinking cap. Sometimes I get so much in a rut that I just feel like a record.

  4. This made me smile and hopefully after your last post it will do the same for you:
    Time is what keeps everything from happening at once. :)

  5. Youre not the average weblog writer, man. You certainly have something powerful to add on the net. Your design is so powerful that you could virtually get away with being a bad writer, but youre even amazing at expressing what you’ve to express. Such a fantastic weblog. Ill be back for more.

  6. Strange this post is totaly unrelated to what I was searching google for, but it was listed on the first page. I guess your doing something right if Google likes you enough to put you on the first page of a non related search. :)

  7. This is a subject close to my heart cheers, do you have a RSS feed I can use?

  8. This is a wonderful Blog. Thanks for all the information you share with us,.

    That guy just looks dangerous. I doubt that six years will rehabilitate him, probably nothing will. Too bad one of Paris’ bodyguards didn’t see him with a knife, then we probably wouldn’t even have to try him, just bury him.

    Hello, Your blog looks outstanding, I can tell how much time you have put into it. I am going to bookmark it and will make sure to visit often.

  31. I recently found this blog post while I was in fact running a search on AOL, looking for something very close but not quite the same…

    However I’m more than glad to read it, because you really seem to have an interesting standpoint. I would say it’s up to debate… but I’m afraid to not make you an enemy, ha, ha, ha…

    In any case, if you’d wanna talk more about it, please respond to my comment and I’ll make sure to subscribe so that I will be notified and return here for more…

  33. - all from the same account with our award-winning PureDeal platform. Learn how to spread bet with IG Index through our free TradeSense education programme, or view one of our free online semiIn my last post I spoke about the possibility of opening a second account. This may not be as important to you when you are just starting out and have a low level of capital but do keep it in mind.There are a couple of reasons why you should consider it if you are to take your trading seriously. The most successful traders out there have a number of accounts.The first reason for this is the ability to get the best quote. Financial Spread Betting is hard. Anything you can use to your advantage is great, even a half a point on the spread will make a difference.By having more than one Financial Spread Betting account you will be able to read multiple quotes at the same time (with a little practice!). You will then be able to trade of the better one.It will take time for you to reach this level but if you can trade this way then you will be ahead of a lot of traders.The second reason is contingency. These days spread betting trading platforms are a lot more stable. They don’t hang as much and they are very rarely down. The spread betting companies put a lot of time and money into making sure that this doesn’t happen.But…What if it does? What if the financial markets are going crazy and you want to trade? When you log on…whoops…you can’t log on.

  36. Yeah, I strongly agree with you. It seems there are really talented writers who are willing to share a very good articles online.

  37. I realise this isn’t a very good comment but it made me smile!
    The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the ability to reach it. :)

    By the way… hardly awhile back I saw this exact article on another website. I have reason to believe someone stole your text!

  40. I was just talking with my friend about this the other day at dinner . Don’t remember how in the world we landed on the subject really, they brought it up. I do remember eating a excellent steak salad with cranberries on it. I digress…
