During the recent New York Travel Festival, a travel conference and expo that takes place every year in New York City, I was invited to make two presentations: one for consumers and one for travel industry insiders. In the travel industry presentation, titled "Stop Thinking Gay: 7 Ways to Reach the New Gay Traveler," I highlighted how gay travel marketing has evolved, and what successful companies and destinations are doing to stay on top of this valuable market segment. Here is an excerpt from the presentation (you can also watch the video, which is a bit more detailed).
Gay travelers have evolved, and so has the way that travel organizations market to them. To get a clear picture about how to approach this valuable group of travelers (and I'm using the term "gay" interchangeably with "LGBT," or Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender), the first thing you need to do is to FORGET THAT THESE TRAVELERS ARE GAY. Clearing the slate will make it easier to take in these suggestions about how to market to them. (That's because, in a lot of ways, the LGBT market is just as multifaceted -- and similar in its basic interests -- as any other group of travelers.)
So how do you as a business, destination or organization reach this audience? Consider these seven tips:
1. Diversify. As we know, the LGBT market isn't one big homogenous group, especially nowadays. You need to think of all these niches within the niche, and determine which make sense for you to target: Men, women, families with kids, multi-ethnic groups, international travelers are just a few of the possibilities (you'll find more in the video).
2. Integrate. Gay travelers feel more comfortable than ever with their straight counterparts, and vice versa. If you're a gay-specific business, you might already be expanding your strategy to include the mainstream straight market. If you're a so-called "mainstream" company, you should start seriously thinking about including your gay marketing materials with your other content, if you haven't already.
Take a look at the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB). Last year, they integrated their LGBT campaign into their mainstream marketing efforts. They incorporated gay content into their TV campaigns. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Association, meanwhile has taken a rather creative approach at integrating its advertising, with a new TV commercial that addresses several markets at once, with Vegas-style humor (you can see the full commercial in the video).
Lots of other destinations have upped the ante as well. Three Mexican destinations have made great strides in promoting themselves to the LGBT market. The most recent to join the effort is the Cancun CVB, which last year signed up with the International Gay and Lesbian Travel Association.The Puerto Vallarta CVB already has a section on its Website proclaiming its gay-friendliness. And Mexico City's tourism site is especially detailed with gay travel information, including a 50-page gay travel guide, available in either English or Spanish, which you can download for free.
Another good case study is American Airlines. Search for the word "gay" on the American Airlines Website, and three topics pop up: consumer travel, workplace equality and employee resource groups. They make it easy for everyone to see that they're dedicated to the market, and also that they treat their employees equally.
On the accommodation front, Preferred Hotel Group -- which represents more than 650 independent hotels -- has integrated its Preferred Pride content into its main Website, and also moved much of its LGBT advertising into mainstream media. They recognize that gay travelers are just as likely to read Conde Nast Traveler or the New York Times as they are Out or The Advocate.
3. Expand Your Products & Campaigns. Marriott International is another major player that has broadened its LGBT marketing efforts, with a microsite accessible in five languages. Hilton has a campaign called "Stay Hilton. Go Out" -- and it's expanded to more than 460 hotel properties since debuting in 2012.
Or take a look again at Fort Lauderdale. They were one of the first U.S. cities to launch a gay-specific marketing campaign back in 1995, with a tiny budget of just $35,000 -- that was matched by an equal contribution from local gay hotels for a series of co-op ads.
Today, that budget has jumped to over $1 million a year. "17 years ago LGBT or gay was a niche market," according to Richard Gray, who's the LGBT director at the CVB. Now, he says, "it's now a full market in its own right." Last year, he says the city received 1.3 million LGBT visitors, who spent $1.5 BILLION dollars.
To keep that momentum going, Fort Lauderdale is diversifying its approach and finding new opportunities. They're focusing especially hard on building the gay meetings and sporting events market, according to Gray. Here's his reasoning: "We feel confident that if we can get groups, we will also secure them as leisure travelers."
4. Know Your Media. Be aware of how people are getting information about your business -- that should influence both how you advertise and how you stay on top of what your customers are saying about you.
That's one thing that guides Bill Boeddiker, the owner of Parker Guest House, which is a bed-and-breakfast in San Francisco's Castro district. He says that when his hotel opened in 1997, they advertised exclusively in gay and lesbian media -- like the Damron Guide and Spartacus.
Boedikker says that he still uses gay-specific sites like Gay Cities, Purple Roofs and GayTravel.com, but the main source of his business now is Google, TripAdvisor and BedandBreakfast.com -- which has also helped increase the percentage of straight guests he has.
San Francisco Travel is another organization that's moved away from some print vehicles, according to Lynn Bruni, the organization's vice president of marketing communications -- at the same time, they've also moved away from strictly "vertical media" buys -- that means they no longer target gay travelers solely through LGBT media. Although, they have partnered with Gaycities.com -- as well as California cities like Palm Springs and West Hollywood -- to create joint promotions that benefit all of the destinations.
5. Create Excitement & Shareable Moments. When it comes down to it, we all want a lot of the same things when it comes to travel. So you need to appeal to some pretty basic emotions to motivate gay travelers to spend their time and money with you.
Communicate the value of the experiences, and make it easy for people to share their excitement through social media -- even if they haven't taken the trip yet. Keep the conversation going.
Among the more memorable examples: Air New Zealand gained not only social media shares, but lots of press coverage with its gay- friendly activities. In 2008, the airline staged a special "Pink Flight" that flew passengers from San Francisco to the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in Sydney, Australia. In 2013, on the same day that New Zealand's same-sex marriage law went into effect, the airline hosted a same-sex wedding in-flight. Jesse Tyler Ferguson, one of the stars of the TV show "Modern Family," was present for the ceremony.
The folks who run Marriott Residence Inns report success with their own publicity tactics. Last year, they named lesbian chef and television personality Cat Cora, as the chain's "Residence Mom of the Year," to help connect with traveling parents and families -- including same-sex couples.To drive home their point, last November, the hotel chain hosted its first-ever Twitter Party for LGBT parents traveling with kids. The company reports that their hash tag trended as one of the most popular that evening.
Tourisme Montreal has staged quirky LGBT tourism campaigns like its "Queer of the Year" contest, and even created its own Web series. The six-part series, "Montreal Boy: Some Strings Attached," debuted in April on LogoTV.com, in collaboration with Air Canada.
6. Provide Valuable Resources. I've been writing and managing custom content for years for various travel industry clients, from Orbitz and LAN Airlines, to the Mexico Tourism Board, various CVBs and hotels ranging from big chains to individual properties.
In addition to becoming more digital and oriented toward social, successful travel organizations are becoming subtler in the way they promote their destination, service or product.
You might call it custom content, native advertising or branded content, but the point is this: you'll often attract more people to your message if you package it with useful, compelling or cool information that they can use and share. Think beyond the self-promotional, and work with writers and social media experts who can help you create content that will get you noticed.
Preferred Hotel Group is among the newest entrants into this field; this year, they introduced the Preferred Pride blog, which provides insider travel tips and information about hotels, events and destinations in general.
7. Keep Your Eyes Open. You need to be on the lookout for the next big thing -- whether it's a new app to communicate with your customers, or a promising new niche within the LGBT market.
One of the fastest-growing niches right now, for example, is same- sex weddings and honeymoons -- thanks in no small part to the increasing number of destinations where it's legal. According to a new study released in April by the Williams Institute, extending marriage to same-sex couples just in the state of Oregon -- where it's not currently legal -- would generate nearly $50 million in spending to the state economy. In Virginia, it could add up to $60 million.
Travel companies and destinations are taking note, even in places where marriage isn't legal. In 2013, W Retreat & Spa on Vieques Island, in Puerto Rico, launched a partnership with wedding planner Bernadette Coveney Smith, founder of 14 Stories. Together, they offer same-sex destination-wedding packages. Marriott International has a Gay Weddings and Events section on its gay microsite. And Preferred Hotel Group is in the process of integrating same-sex wedding and honeymoon offerings into its other similar packages.

Key West, Florida is a destination popular with gay and straight travelers.
During the recent New York Travel Festival, a travel conference and expo that takes place every year in New York City, I was invited to make two presentations: one for consumers and one for travel industry insiders. In the consumer presentation, titled "Why Gay Travel is Great for Straight People," I highlighted why gay travel experiences can enrich trips for straight people too. Here is an excerpt from the presentation (you can also watch the video, which is a bit more detailed).
Society is more integrated than ever. Gay people are more openly participating in so-called "mainstream" culture. And straight travelers have changed too. Heterosexual people are checking into gay-owned bed-and-breakfast hotels. They're having drinks at gay bars and joining gay tours and pride celebrations.
But why is gay travel great for straight people too?
The reasons why straight people are getting into gay travel are many. The most basic reasons tie in with why people love any kind of travel -- it's fun, it's exciting, it's a chance to discover new things in the world.
Here are five more reasons why gay travel is great for straight people:
1. Gay travel is fun, and it's comfortable.
My friend Tammy is a straight woman who's been on some rather gay vacations with her gay male friends in Provincetown, one of the most popular summer destinations for gay travelers in the northeast. When Tammy went there, she spent most of her time in gay venues, on the gay beach and with gay people, and she had a great time.
What does she like about the experience?
• One, she has gay friends. And she wants them to feel comfortable and safe.
• She likes the ambiance. She likes feeling comfortable as well, and being around open-minded people.
• She also likes the idea of going out dancing and just having fun, without worrying about getting hit on by guys when she just wants to be with her friends.
2. Gay travel can provide a quality experience, away from the usual touristy stuff.
My sister and her husband -- who are both in their 60s -- made the choice to stay at a gay-owned bed-and-breakfast on their upcoming trip to Scotland. They say it's for several reasons:
• The place got great reviews online. Whether gay or straight, always research before you decide!
• They like to be around people who are interested in a wide variety of topics.
• They're looking forward to getting travel advice from hotel staff about tours, dining and shopping that goes beyond the typical, mainstream touristy stuff.
Richard Gray, who's the LGBT director for the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau, described why some straight people love to experience the gay angle when they travel. "I think we [gay people] tend to go to fun, edgy places," he said. "There are a lot of straight people who go to a gay destination because they know what we like. They know we like good restaurants and good shopping and good nightlife. It's also about integration -- we're becoming more integrated."
3. Gay travel allows you to support the causes you care about.
Another reason to think gay is equality. Most people want equality nowadays, right? And we like to support businesses that support that. So when you see a giant travel company like American Airlines -- which not only targets gay travelers, but also talks about its equal treatment for LGBT employees -- you know you're patronizing companies that support causes that YOU support.
4. You can save money.
Yes, you can even save money when you patronize gay and gay-friendly businesses. An example: Rental car companies such as Budget, Avis & Enterprise allow you to add a spouse or domestic partner for free as a driver, when you rent in the United States. The domestic partner option was introduced to recognize same-sex couples, but it can work for any unmarried couple.
By expanding your radar to include gay-owned and gay-friendly businesses like hotels and bed and breakfasts, you also expand your options and the possibilities for getting a great trip for the best possible price.
5. It's safe -- and it can be a great alternative to boring business travel, too.
For number five, I got some interesting feedback from Bill Boeddiker, the owner of a beautiful bed-and-breakfast called Parker Guest House in San Francisco's Castro district. He welcomes a lot of straight travelers -- and he says they fall into three main categories:
• Parents and family members of gay people.
• "Classic" bed and breakfast travelers who prefer a "personal and unique" experience. He says that "bed-and-breakfast travelers are more open-minded in general, and have no problem staying in a gay-hosted environment."
• Interestingly, he said the third group is made up of women traveling alone on business. He says that female business travelers "seem to like the secure, personal feeling that our property offers."
In many ways, the 17-year history of the Parker Guest House reflects the evolution of gay travel. Not only are more straight people thinking gay when they travel, but more gay people are feeling comfortable and safe in a mixed environment as well. Boedikker says that in the 1990s, his hotel was nearly 100 percent gay, and he'd actually get complaints from guests if a heterosexual person was staying there. Gay people needed a feeling of security and privacy.
But now, he says that the hotel is around 40 percent straight, and he hasn't had a single complaint about the mix of travelers from either side.
Indeed, the lines are blurring between gay and mainstream travel. In my next post, I'll highlight three ways that you can add some gay flair to your next vacation...

Indeed, some of his own men were so horrified that they revealed how he had ordered them to execute Negro prisoners of war. His attitudes might have been shaped by the fact that he himself had been a slave trader before the war, but of course that was no excuse.
Needless to say, he was tried and hanged as a war criminal. While he had been helping the form the Ku Klux Klan after the Confederate surrender, its sympathizers were now afraid of suffering the same penalty, so the new organization never got started. And thank goodness for that!

beehive blender: Oster vs. Waring -- help a girl decide please!
- foxy fairy Nov 6, 2007 10:40 AM
If you own one of the two blenders above -- THE OSTER BEEHIVE OR THE WARING PROFESSIONAL (links at bottom of this post with photos), or you have owned one, could you please share your overall perception? Would you buy your blender again? What do you like about it? What irks you? (hopefully nothing -- but I want the scoop before I purchase) Anecdotes welcome!
Please know that I am not interested in feedback on other blenders -- just these two. In my blender-seeking-research, I have scrutinized the existing CH threads regarding blenders, including that tome of 200+ posts from niki this summer! I've analyzed reviews on other sites as well, but I trust hounds the most in terms of cookware recommendations.
I have narrowed my search down to these two blenders, both beehive designs, both with minimal switches/speeds/buttons (just on-off, really). I love the way these look, I like the button simplicity, and I have used both brands (at home of mom/friends) in the past. My mom's Oster has been going for 25 years, and friends rave similarly about Warings.
USAGE: I will use this probably five times a week for blended soups, sauces, mayo, dips, etc -- plus smoothies frozen drinks now and then (once a month).
*With the Oster, I could purchase a snazzy-looking blend-and-go cup, and just froth up a drink and race out the door. But I'm not a crazy smoothie person, so I'm trying not to let cute accessories sway me* ;)
PRICE: Price-wise, these end up about the same, and again -- I cannot go any higher than this price range, so please no luxury-blender suggestions to confuse me. The Oster is on sale for $50 (from $60) this week at Target. Or, at Linens-n-Things, I can cash in my 20% off coupon for the Waring, which is $70 (regularly $80, but there's a $10 rebate), making it just about $56.
UPKEEP: I don't own a dishwasher, so I will be washing these by hand.
The Oster:
The Waring:
That Oster is more powerful than they Waring, by 150 watts. I am partial to Oster since that is what I have always used. I looked high and low when I had to replace my last blender, and like you I wasn't flush with money to spend on a blender, and I ended up getting another Oster. I like mine, and it crushes ice well. It's an older one than what you are looking at.
I just treated myself to the Oster beehive and so far it lives up to its billing. It is just as loud as people say but it is on for such a short time that it doesn't really bother me. I seriously doubt I would have been any happier with one of the blenders that costs $100s more.
re: Pei
That's the thing. I replaced a cheaper Oster with the Oster Beehive (I have to make a small confession here - I actually have the black pro series beehive - not sure how much if any difference there is between this one and the one the OP is contemplating.) Anyway, I replaced the old Oster precisely because it wouldn't crush ice properly. This one does a tremendous job.
I own the Oster. Purchased it for many of the same reasons you listed - I like simplicity. I've found that it makes a wonderful bar blender and does well for things that are not so, shall we say, delicate. I've pureed soups, parsnips, white beans - you name it. It purees like a champ. It also makes decent smoothies.
I HAVE made mayo and even Hollandaise with it, though I think I would have preferred something with one or two more speed adjustments for that. It will work, but I've found that it is possible to whip too much air into the emulsions - so be careful.
re: Plat du jour
"I HAVE made mayo and even Hollandaise with it, though I think I would have preferred something with one or two more speed adjustments for that."
I KNEW there was a reason why I didn't want to let go of my older Oster. I just made room for it on the shelf in the basement.
re: Plat du jour
My Oster has 14 speeds and that makes it so nice to use. No thinking involved, just read the buttons! LOL!

re: Antilope
Not anymore!
My vote is for the Oster- it has used the same direct drive hookup since forever, so jars are interchangeable from one to another (other then a weird In2itive one they made for a couple years around 2000). When I was setting up my house 10 years ago, I thought I needed a high end blender and bought a Kitchen Aid Pro, which is now sitting on the shelf in the basement deemed the 'appliance graveyard'. Its not because it doesn't work or anything, it just doesn't work right for me- the glass carafe is to heavy & clunky, and it just isn't as easy to use as the Osterizer I had grown up. I finally picked up a used Osterizer from the 1970's, along with a lot of the little Oster mini blending jars- http://www.goodmans.net/get_item_os-0... for blending/mixing small amounts. Since then, I've upgraded to a current model, 12 speed Oster blender, which came with the ToGo cup. I love that I can use the carafes and accessories from the vitage Osterizer, my Mom's old Osterizer, the mini-jars, etc with the newest Oster I own- not many companies have that much interchangeability over decades of manufacture. Having the extra full sized carafes is nice when I'm really doing a lot in the kitchen, since I don't have to stop to wash the carafe between uses- I just grab another one.
One difference between the Oster & the Warning is the blending coupler, where the bottom of the carafe meets up with the motor to transfer power. The Warning blenders uses a rubbery/plastic, interlocking teeth mechanism; where as Oster uses a square metal drive pin directly into the blades. Over time, from removing or inserting the blender carafe before the motor fully stops, the rubbery teeth can get damaged to the point you're blender doesn't work as efficiently. Besides, the burning rubber/plastic smell is never good in the kitchen.
re: anniemax
I think I will end up with the Oster -- now I'm just torn between the beehive (just one switch, between on and pulse) and the 12-speed. Considering that I like to do mayo and aioli, etc quite often, would I need the multiple speeds, I wonder? Wouldn't the pulse function work for that? I'm honestly not sure... I know I don't want a food processor, at least right now, even though they're great for mayos and sauces. I've always done dips, sauces, etc in the blender with no problem... hmmm. My mom has the 12-speed Osterizer, and loves it. My sister has been whipping up at least one MONSTER batch of smoothies a day for the past five years in that blender... I like the way the beehive looks better though. Plus, I think I always end up blasting up toward the fastest/strongest speed anyway.
The Waring has two speeds, high and low.
What a quandary -- a fun one! I may buy both and see how they look in my kitchen.... :) I would love to try whipping up a mayo in each, but I don't think I can actually get away with returning a --used-- blender!
re: foxy fairy
Go for the beehive one. If you look around, you can find ones with a two- or three-speed dial. I got one at Wal-Mart earlier this year and it was a two-speed one.
American Test Kitchen reccomened it as their top pick, so, since I was in the market for one, and it was well within my price range, I went for it. I love it. It is all anyone really needs. You can have it at full speed or you can pulse, and really you never need anything more then that. It is sturdy, and easy to wash. It is also on sale at Target this week for $49.95. I am talking about the Oster Beehive. Go for the two speed!
Just wanted to report: BOTH of these blenders are flops. We bought the Waring, took it home, and when we unpacked it and stood looking at all of the plastic parts we shook our heads. The parts around the blade seemed like they'd snap in two after one use. Clearly, we must have sampled one of the upper echelon of Waring blenders in the past, not this cheap model.
So I bought the Oster instead. I've used it - let's see, I think three times. Today I was whipping up hummus when I started to smell something burning. I asked my sweety, who confirmed -- some part of the blender was burning. It will be returned this afternoon.
I guess I'll have to move into the higher-end blenders??? Or maybe I should go for a food processor, since I do a lot of dips, mayos, etc.
re: foxy fairy
I'm sorry to hear that both blenders bombed for you. But I have had my Oster beehive (it's actually the black "pro" series blender) for a while now, use it all the time and it's been fine. I doubt there's an appliance out there where you never run the risk of buying a lemon, no matter how much you spend.
re: flourgirl
I agree! I really like the Oster beehive a lot. Take it back and get a replacement, and see how that one works. I also could not be without my FP, but they really do a lot of different things.
re: jbyoga
I am going through the same choice dilema - Beehive or Waring refurbished 50th Anniversary Edition. I actually bought the Warning yesterday and made my first smootie just now. Worked well enough, although noisy, and the motor smells a bit, and it left some ice cube chunks. There are soooo many different Beehive models on Amazon, but Target only carries the 600 watt model in their stores. I would rather buy 'in person' than online.
You have so highly recommended the Beehive and I would like to know the exact models that you are using. I occasionally make mayo and am wondering if I can do that in the Beehive which is only On/Pulse/Off.
One nice thing about the Waring is that the shape of the traditional cloverleaf container helps with thorough blending. If you stick with that shape you will not have any problem with replacement containers.
If you mostly crush ice, then you need "more power."
I have two "vintage" blenders, one of each, and they are both still going strong.
re: mlgb
Thanks mlgb - I used the Warning again for my smoothie with the same results. I can live with the noise, but the motor smells a bit, perhaps because it is new, and again, chunks of ice were at the bottom of my glass. I use milk, sweetner, a drop of vanilla, frozen strawberries a heaping tablespoon of yogurt and two cubes of ice. I think I'll pop off to Target today and buy the beehive and compare them.

This series is the most bizarre fucking thing on the Internet, but there's weird, weird gold to be found in every episode. In this same episode, Jerry starts driving 100mph on a busy freeway in the Lamborghini, and then he and Chris giggle at the cop who pulls them over. It's amazing how big an asshole you can be if you've got Seinfeld in syndication.
It's a peek into the life of comedians long road-weathered into being the line between misanthrope and sociopath who ALSO happen to be alien supermillionaires, and it ping-pongs back and forth between being hilarious and gross.
I'm watching David Letterman grouchily wish everyone in their coffee shop would just leave. He's joking about how he could buy the restaurant and make it happen if he wanted to.
Chris Rock could never be overrated. He wanted to end this insane story with "He's dead now."

Skyline Scars
Is it time
For something drastic?
Opening wounds
In the space around
Skyline scars
The bitterness
That glazed my eyes
Mental stars
The openness
That filled my heart
My breakdown
Became the cure
The openness
That fills my heart.
It has been lingering for weeks. Growing with an unwanted & disfigured purpose, self-doubt has become my shadow. I cannot bare reflecting on how sparse the clouds were a few months ago when now they weigh so heavy. I admit my flaw, I latched onto change & newness as an automatic positive…anything to break an unsatisfactory cycle had to be. I got too far ahead of myself and now i'm in reverse and in reality even further from any sanctuary I aspire towards.
I hate being in this place, no amount of age or experience makes it any easier to recognise or process. The mirror troubles me, I am noticing that I avoid eye contact and i'm so tired….but i'm staying up late to avoid waking up to the frustrations that i know are coming.
There is so much within me that I want to offer to the world & i'm prepared to take bigger knocks than most in my pursuit, but sometimes I need a hand, some reassurance or just a sign that I one day I can fully express myself without feeling partially defined by the inadequacies at life of others.
Equating my mental state into writing is my starting point. It begins the cleansing & lets me start to let go. It gives the other strands of my life a chance to move to the front of the queue. With that being said I turn my laptop off & pull the cover over my exposed shoulder. I whisper goodnight to my lover & i receive no response. I whisper it again and say "I love you", secretly knowing she can't hear.
It's a blessing on these nights to have something so beautiful breathing the same air as me.
A storm builds
The windows
Feel weak against
The incessant clawing
Of the rain
Distant rumblings
Tease at
Spacial dominance.
I pour another bourbon
To stop myself
Drifting into the night.
I look back
Over photographs
From recent weeks
Soundlessly reliving
Each one.
The details
Those soundless details.
God nothing compares
To watching her
Paint those eyes.
I come to the last photograph
The one I took
Before you left tonight.
Standing there
In the doorway
Layered in shadows
As the umbrella
strayed into the rain.
You turned to me
& all I could do
was fall in love
with you again.

The first and second picks of the 2012 NFL Draft will be no shocker to start things off, much to the dismay of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
The Indianapolis Colts have already informed quarterback Andrew Luck that they will choose him with the first pick. Luck has always been the #1 pick in every mock draft even before the end of the season.
The Washington Redskins have informed quarterback Robert Griffin III that they will choose him with the second pick of the first round. After Luck was deemed the first pick, the Redskins moved on Griffin.
The rumor is that the Cleveland Browns will select running back Trent Richardson with the third pick of the first round, but nothing is concrete yet.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released its 2013 Most Wanted List, with six of the 10 issues focusing on highway travel, where most transportation fatalities take place and includes the number one killer on the list: substance-impaired driving.
The new annual list of the independent federal safety agency's top advocacy priorities calls for ending distraction in all modes of transportation. Distraction was the cause of multiple accidents investigated by the agency in recent years and its deadly effects will only continue to grow as a national safety threat.
"Transportation is safer than ever, but with 35,000 annual fatalities and hundreds of thousands of injuries, we can, and must, do better," said NTSB Chairman Deborah A.P. Hersman. "The Most Wanted List is a roadmap to improving safety for all of our nation's travelers."
The list covers all transportation modes. There are six new issue areas: distraction, fire safety, infrastructure integrity, pipeline safety, positive train control and motor vehicle collision avoidance technologies.
The NTSB's 2013 Most Wanted List of transportation priorities includes:

"You gotta be real, Bobby. Get in touch with your white roots. So advises African American comedian and driving-school instructor Buddha Sack (voiced by Chris Rock) in the episode "Traffic Jam," and in its second season, King of the Hill mines this fertile territory for some of the funniest and sharpest comedy writing on television. But it's the pitch-perfect ensemble, led by series co-creator Mike Judge as forthright Hank Hill and Kathy Najimy as the formidable Peggy Hill--that also gives King of the Hill a heart as big as Texas itself. Hank struggles to be the voice of reason in a world that often just "ain't right." In "Hilloween," Hank rallies the town after a lawsuit by a fundamentalist (voiced with hellfire by Sally Field) shutters the local haunted house and abolishes trick or treating. In "Hank's Dirty Laundry," the tenacious Hank is forced to immerse himself in adult video after a video store computer's false claim that he rented and did not return "Cuffs & Collars" sullies his credit rating. Hank may he hard-headed, but, unlike Homer Simpson, he is never a buffoon. His literal nature provides some of these episodes' biggest laughs, as witness his attempt to one-up put-down artist Buddha Sack in "Traffic Jam": "Your mother's hair is short, it looks like she's not a woman at all, but more like a man." In season 2, Hank continues to look for common ground with his misfit son ("How To Fire a Rifle Without Rally Trying"), and romance begins to blossom between Bobby and neighbor Connie ("The Son That Got Away"). But it is the throwaway moments that provide some of the series' giddiest delights. In "The Unbearable Blindess of Laying," Bobby is introduced to the Jewish idiom. "You said, 'You I like' instead of 'I like you,'" he tells his grandmother's new boyfriend. "That's funny." --Donald Liebenson

Oh I know hell. It burns like whiskey.With each and every shot the devils says he misses me.
Ill wear this visage like I love god and have faith like I forgot what happened last night.
Head throb like "oh my god I need another drink".
Stop and think to myself "no I don't".
So here I am writing like im lost in writer's block,
Caught in the thought, "I need another drink".

what do you guys think about this story. no fighting plz.
what do you guys think about this story. no fighting plz.
A lot to be said about it I think. I think the law (Stand Your Ground) in Florida is jacked up and needs to be revisited. I also feel like the police in the area are trying to cover up something, either a mistake or for the shooter. There are questionable details to each part of the story and nothing has been made very clear. I'm not against guns or carry - I really wish Illinois would take the corn cob out of it's rear and join the rest of the country and allow it's residents to obtain a carry permit ... but that is besides the point.
The fact that this man called the police and "reported" it and they said not to follow him and he did anyway makes me feel like he was targeting and seeking out a confrontation. The kid was in the neighborhood because he was staying with his father who lived in the gated community. I truly think that race has something to do with this one way or another. Look at all of the video they have from the officers responding and they are all white and the shooter is a white/hispanic or so they say. (I'm white by the way)
I think there were a lot of things missing with this in that they never issued a toxicology report on the shooter, that should have been done immediately as well as a psych eval in my opinion. This man just shot and killed someone, he should be evaluated to make sure he is mentally sound enough to own/carry a firearm. Yeah, he may have been totally fine when he purchased the gun or got his license or he may not have and the system failed to scan appropriately.
It's a muddy thing and everyone that has paid any attention to it will have something to say one way or another. We are all given that right, whether we are correct or not is another story.

And at no time did I feel the need to pull a pistol and shoot my opponent!
............."You'll have that on those big jobs!!"..............

One thing that is missing. Trayvon Martin is being shown as a young kid in most of his Pictures. The truth of what he looked like at the time of the shooting is 6'2" and very big man. Not an Innocent looking kid.

droppixel your right there should have been a eval on the shooter. I do think there is a lot missing from the story. Me and my wife have are permits to carry and there is no eval need to get a carry permit. I think there should be. But I think your right the man was looking for a trouble. I try not to judge a man by his looks. I have a lot of black,white,spanish, and other friend. Most of them are long time bikers. The type if you did not know them you would be afraid of them. But back to the shooting I dont know if we will ever know. I have listen to all the story and read a lot about it and botom line is I think the shooter want to confront the other man. I think if he let him pass there would not have been a shooting.
Like the one man sayed I also been in some bad spot and I never had to us my side arm. Keep your cool and thing will not get to that. Some peaple if you arm them they go looking for all the trouble they can find. I have seen this a lot.
but in this shooting I think color did have some thing to do with it also. I would like to see the day when color dont matter. I will never see it in my life time
one thing i think we all can agree on though, is that if the shooter had left him alone, there wouldnt have been a confrontation. Yes this is true, but to be honest i cant hate the man for wanting to seek out a potential probelm, whatever that may have been.
Aside from that, the attention this is gathering has been a little mind boggling. You are right, there are people getting shot and killed every day. When is the last time you heard about a soldier who was just killed in the middle east?? Or in your instance a family in your town?

Reviews of the 3 Best Metal Detector
Garrett Ace 350 Metal Detector
The Ace 350 Metal Detector covers a greater depth, much better target separation, an improved iron resolution, bigger scan area and a reduction of negative effects of highly mineralized grounds and interference of salt water. Considered advanced as this comes with the power of 8.5 inches x 11 inches Double-D search coil. This device is developed for ultimate detection that makes it easy to find jewelry, coins and valuable relics. This comes with volume control headphones so that location of the target is precise and fast.
Aside from all the high-end specifications, many reported that this unit is easy to use and light enough to carry so anyone, even a woman, can use it with ease. After a while of using the unit, the user may no longer constantly look downward at the display as anyone can easily be familiar with the different sounds that identify the items below the ground. And of course, the video that comes with it makes it even more user-friendly and interesting.
So far for this product, all the features claimed by the manufacturer are relevant. The unit works well on plain surfaces and customer satisfaction has been well guaranteed. There are no complaints reported so far and that are posted online.
Bounty Hunter TK4 Tracker IV
It's a great way to start metal detecting. Generally, the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV is a user-friendly metal detector. It can detect treasure in numerous surfaces, from saltwater beaches to mineralized grounds. The Tracker IV is so efficient as it maintains sensitivity without needing difficult adjustments.
This device offers 3 detecting modes controlled by a three-position toggle: All-Metal mode for detecting all types of metal items. Discrimination mode helps eliminate unwanted types of metal. Audio feedback mode can show and distinguish valuable and unwanted metals
The Tracker IV will be the best for finding coins, jewelries, relics and other lost household items. It comes with a 1/4 inch headphone jack which is compatible with most headphones. It is also waterproof for underwater hunting(link đếnbài Waterproof metal detector).
User experience: customer reviews show that Tracker IV is so easy to use with no experience required and pretty short learning curve. It is also super light and can work in 15-20 hours with 2X9v batteries

The Great Debate UK
from The Great Debate:
A painful holiday's end for Europe
Europe's long summer holiday still has a week to run but this year's reentry will bring with it evidence that very little progress has been made on the issues that threaten to rend the currency union and upend the global economy.
Despite waving the stress-test magic wand over its banks in late July the same problems continue to grow unchecked: a euro zone periphery that can't compete, may not be able to pay its debts and so may bring down with them the very banks that have been pronounced healthy.
While the German economy is growing at a rate not seen since the Berlin Wall came down, things are a good bit worse in Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Italy and especially Greece, all of which face some combination of an austerity-induced recession and debts public and private which which threaten their banking systems, local governments and Treasuries.
Investors have looked at this on the one hand and on the other a $1 trillion bailout, a pliant International Monetary Fund and the results of the stress tests and have voted with their feet: average spreads between German and peripheral country bonds are back in territory last seen in June and heading north. Ten-year Greek bonds now yield 861 basis points more than German issues, or about where they were in May when we were all debating the chances of the euro surviving in its current form.
from MacroScope:
How uncertain exactly is the uncertain BoE?
For a central bank that looks certain to bust its 2 percent inflation target for most of the time between now and the London 2012 Olympics, there is still a lot of uncertainty out there.
Bank of England Governor Mervyn King referred to "uncertain" or "uncertainty" about the outlook five times at the May quarterly Inflation Report press conference according to the bank's transcript, and the latest one didn't seem much more confident in tone.
Sluggish U.S. economy may threaten UK business development
- Paddy Earnshaw is the Director of Customer Relations at Travelex Global Business Payments. The opinions expressed are his own.-
British importers and exporters' confidence in the economy leapt in July, as positive economic data fuelled hopes for a return to strong economic growth. According to the Travelex Confidence Index (TCI), which jumped 12 points in July to 116, from 104 in June, strong gains were driven by quarter 2′s GDP figure, as it showed the UK grew at its fastest pace in four years.
Rubbish rates – what is a saver to do?
-Rachel Mason is PR manager at Fair Investment Company. The opinions expressed are her own.-
The base rate is going to be stuck at 0.5 percent for years to come, according to experts, so where does that leave savers?
Inflation or deflation: a stress test for democracy
-Laurence Copeland is professor of finance at Cardiff University Business School. The opinions expressed are his own-
The policy debate is hotting up. On one side, we have the expansionists, arguing that it's the Nineteen Thirties all over again, that Keynes is right now as he was then – we need more, not less government spending, we are digging our own graves by cutting back, especially as the fiscal retrenchment is continent-wide, covering thrifty North Europe as well as profligate ClubMed. According to this view, fiscal contraction will exacerbate the situation by magnifying the fall in the level of economic activity, leading to a downward spiral and, incidentally, making it harder than ever to repay our debts.
from MacroScope:
What are the risks to growth?
Mike Dicks, chief economist and blogger at Barclays Wealth, has identified what he sees as the three biggest problems facing the global economy, and conveniently found that they are linked with three separate regions.
First, there is the risk that U.S., t consumers won't increase spending. Dicks notes that the increase in U.S. consumption has been "extremely moderate" and far less than after previous recessions. His firm has lowered is U.S. GDP forecast for 2011 to 2.7 percent from a bit over 3 percent.
EU stress tests: for banks or governments?
- Laurence Copeland is a professor of finance at Cardiff Business School. The opinions expressed are his own.-
Worries about Europe's banking system go back at least to 2007, but whereas the U.S. (and UK) banks appear to have weathered the storm, there are fears that for European banks the worst may lie ahead. Concerns centre on four areas.
from MacroScope:
The octopus and the economists
What do an eight-legged creature in an aquarium in Germany and 74 economists have in common? The consensus view that Spain would claim the World Cup -- until the economists, as they so often do, changed their minds.
If World Cup 2010 goes down as one of the most unpredictable and exciting competitions in recent history, bringing underdogs Holland and Spain to the final showdown, what was hopelessly routine was watching so-called expert opinion converge around the safest bet. At least among financial professionals, who have done so well of late predicting the future.
To spend, or not to spend?
-Laurence Copeland is a professor of finance at Cardiff University Business School. The opinions expressed are his own.-
There is really only one question on the agenda at the G8 and G20 meetings in Toronto and in policy circles throughout Europe and North America: to cut government spending and risk recession; or to keep on spending, risking a return to inflation, or more likely to stagflation – inflation with stagnant economic activity?
Osborne's book-balancing a risky venture
-Tony Cleaver is senior teaching fellow in Economics and Finance in the Durham University School of Economics, Finance and Business. The opinions expressed are his own.-
George Osborne is taking a risk.
The Chancellor is also placing himself firmly in the orthodox school of financiers who assert that governments must balance their own books even in times of recession.

UK workplace pension pot charges should be revealed - new code
LONDON (Reuters) - Pension firms and insurers are calling for the costs taken automatically by people running UK pension schemes to be divulged to employers when they set up auto-enrolment schemes between 2012 and 2017.
Pension charges have dramatically reduced in recent years, and now stand at 0.52 percent of the value of an individual scheme, says the Association of British Insurers (ABI). But the little-known fees and levies can wipe tens of thousands of pounds off the value of a worker's workplace pension.
Private pension firms have been accused of failing to disclose some of the costs they levy on customers' investment funds, leaving people unaware that their pension savings were being eroded by the charges.
Industry associations have created a joint Code of Conduct for disclosing the charges made on workplace pensions for managing a retirement plan and its investments, the firms involved said in a statement on Wednesday.
The average so-called 'annual management charge' on a workplace pension scheme is 0.77 percent, the ABI said.
Umbrella organizations The National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF), the ABI, as well as the Investment Management Association and the Society of Pension Consultants want their members and participants in the pensions market to follow the practices set out by the code.
Employers will be able to chose which pension scheme they want based on the information on charges, costs and services.
UK pensions minister Steve Webb said he hoped to see "widespread adoption" of the code.
"However, we are prepared to consider taking action more broadly on charges if insufficient progress is made," he said in a statement on Wednesday.
In January 2013, the code will be available to use for a template for explaining charges, followed by the launch of a web tool in April 2013, which is being produced by the ABI.
The government backed auto-enrolment scheme, whereby people are required to opt out rather than opt into retirement saving, could lead to up to 8 million additional workers being signed up for pensions.

Have a week off and spend it all researching the global financial economy. Decide what type and then which companies you want to have shares in yourself. Perhaps get some gold and silver. Or farmland. Or invest in some business yourself or with others. Be inspired.
Alternatively, give 5% of your income to some company and expect them to invest it on your behalf. Hopefully, they won't buy the company you work for and break it up leaving you jobless. Then when you retire, fingers crossed, you have enough money for food.
Just be aware of the fact that you take a risk either way.

text: At this point, I figured that most AAA third-party titles would be skipping out on the Wii U. It appears that Activision & Sledgehammer Games will be bringing Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare to the Wii U, however. I was scanning through the official E3 site, and I stumbled upon the COD: AW page where it lists the Wii U as a supported platform of the game. It's entirely possible that this listing is a mistake, but you'd think there would be more fact-checking before that sort of information is listed on the official E3 website. Anyone planning to pick it up on the Wii U instead of one of their other consoles?

My computer is fixed and I have returned. I'm very glad it didn't not take very long to fix and I was only off line for a couple of days. Well I don't have time to catch up with my photo challenge right now but I will try to get to it later today!
Sooooo… my computer has imploded and the only way I can get on the internet is to use the multiple facilities on campus. Because of this I will be taking a break from my 30 day photo challenge business until it is fixed. I'm sure you guys don't care but I hope you understand if you do. I'm hoping to have my computer fixed by the end of the day tomorrow OR at least know what is wrong with it so that it can maybe be fixed. Until then my life officially sucks because I have become an internet/facebook/tumblr junkie.
I don't have a picture for this…. idk what to do… lol sorry
"There's a spanner in the works you know,
You gotta step up your game to make to the top.
So go!
Gotta little competition now,
You're going to find it hard to cope with living on your own now.
Uh oh!
Uh oh!
Let's make this happen, girl you gonna show the world
That something good can work and it can work for you.
And you know that it will.
Let's get this started girl, we're moving up we're moving up
It's been a lot to change but you will always get what you want.
Took a little time to make it a little better,
It's only going out, just one thing and another,
You know!
You know!"
"These tricks that I'll attempt will blow your mind
Pick a verse, any verse, I'll hypnotise you with every line
I'll need a volunteer, how about you, with the eyes?
Come on down to the front, and stand right here and don't be shy
I'll have you time-travellin', have your mind babblin'
People tryna inherit the skill so they askin' me
Even David Blaine had to go and take some classes, and
I see Mindfreak like, "What's up man, what's happenin'?"
So come one, come all, and see the show tonight
Prepare to be astounded, no Ghost or Poltergeist
You know I'm no Pinocchio, I've never told a lie
So call me Mr. Magic Man, I float on Cloud 9"
I am about to post a whole bunch of videos (if I can get Youtube to start working that is). Soooo I apologize in advanced but I feel like I need to share some of the songs I am currently obsessed with. You saw one earlier today (technically yesterday I guess) and it was the Grace Potter and The Nocturnals video. I hope you enjoy but I apologize again if it is annoying.

Happy 2nd Birthday to Peaches and Buster!!!
A picture of Buster and Peaches first day with us.
Today I'm flying up to San Francisco to celebrate my birthday (tomorrow) with my sister, brother-in-law, and friends. I'll be gone till Tuesday, have a lovely few days!
Me and my dad at my first birthday party.
Sunday, as a belated birthday treat, I took my dear cousin Kiki to Glen Ivy Hot Springs for a day of luxury. Or at least a day of sitting in hot mineral water, rubbing mud on ourselves, and being painted with an amazing moisturizing treatment.
Our favorite was one of their floating pool; it only a foot and a half deep and filled with rafts and was so much fun to lay out in.
Sunday funday!
The art historian in me geeked out at work recently; we restored an original Jean Arp terrazzo base for one of his sculptures at the Annenberg Center.
While Arp did not make the base himself, it is his original design and it's actually quite rare to find an Arp sculpture with the original base intact.
Sinewy lines and a shape that changes as you move around it; truly a work of art on its own.
They really love to lay butt to butt.
I need to do/start something like this on our hallway chalkboard.
Mine will include; eating a ton of watermelon, making dinner with fresh produce, making and taking a picnic to the Getty center, visiting SF, going back to the Ace, and as much beach time as possible!
My girlfriends and I spent this last weekend at the Ace hotel in Palm Springs.
The time spent soaking up the sun and heat on the the poolside chaises and enjoying delicious drinks and food only left us wanting more. I definitiley see more visits to the desert this summer.
Everyone's favorite cocktail the facial.
Morning poolside.
Mountains against a cloudless blue sky.
It can get pretty crowded.
Can't wait to go back!
It's 2 weeks till my 28th birthday and these are few things that I'm putting on my birthday wish list (and my want list in general);
