Myxer's BoomBox Internet Radio Report: Music Free For All!
Following our announcement of Myxer Social Radio, we released our latest Myxer BoomBox Report, this time focusing on Internet Radio. As far as we can tell, video never did kill the radio star. Instead, radio has gone digital in a big way and today you have more streaming music choices than ever before. With the emergence of a number of services such as Spotify, iHeartradio, Pandora, Slacker, Rdio and others (including the upcoming Myxer Social Radio) ,we are perhaps witnessing the beginning of a golden age of Internet Radio. With that in mind, for this edition of the Myxer BoomBox Report we surveyed 1,188 Myxer mobile users to better understand their views and behaviors when it comes to Internet radio.
Of the 1,188 mobile visitors to m.myxer.com surveyed, 36% responded that they regularly listen to more than one Internet radio service. Of that group, 26% said they listen regularly to 2-5 services, while 10% listen to more than 5 different Internet radio services on a regular basis.
When we asked what is the most important feature for an Internet radio service 63% chose free music as their response. A whopping 78% said that they only listen to FREE services.
We also took a closer look at how social features mesh with Internet Radio:
Social interaction is becoming a more important part of the Internet radio experience and we dove in a little deeper to see what social features people want along with their listening.
- 33% said they would like to dedicate or send songs to friends
- 25% want to post what they are listening to to Facebook or Twitter
- 19% want to listen to music with their friends
- 10% want to chat with friends while listening
Delving a little deeper into chat as a social radio feature we found that the large majority, 78%, would chat with friends while listening if they could at least some of the time.
- 45% said they would chat all of the time
- 33% said they would chat sometimes
- 11% said they would rarely chat
- 11% said they would not chat at all

As you enter Oktoberfest and pass by the fun-filled halls of Das Festhaus®, you see it rising into the sky – the massive spire known as Mäch Tower®.
Craning your neck to see the top, you notice a group of revelers being lifted and spiraling into the stratosphere. Suddenly, in a rush of wind and screams, they drop. So does your jaw.
This is Mäch Tower, the highest ride in Busch Gardens®. It's 240 feet of adrenaline-pulsing thrills with a view of the park and surrounding countryside you have to see to believe. That is, if you can keep your eyes open.
Hold on tight as this new addition to our skyline of park rides drops you into a 60 mph free-fall.
Must be 48" or taller to ride.

We are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable environment to all our guests. We have two programs at Busch Gardens which are in place to assist guests with disabilities. Our Ride Accessibility Program matches the individual abilities of our guests to the requirements of each ride.

Your peepers need some love — in the form of glasses.
But before you start the daunting process of finding the perfect pair, check out our latest Easy Does It video about choosing frames that fit your face.

We're always looking for a reason to hang out with hunks. Especially if it requires flexing, moaning, and pushing.
So it only made sense to find a muscley beefcake to teach us how to change a busted tire for our next Easy Does It how-to video.
Don't be intimidated by the task at hand: Fixing a flat is actually really easy — and totally beats waiting for AAA or flagging down a sketchy truck driver. Plus, we figure self-sufficiency (especially if you're in BFE) is always a good policy.
Now it's time for a little pump and grind.

At your last mealtime gathering, you did everything right: big, pricey steaks; fancy-schmancy china; stimulating conversation cards (what's your animal soul mate?!).
No wonder the whole thing was so awkward.
Next time, take a cue from Tamara Reynolds and Zora O'Neill, the hilarious Astoria-based hostesses with the mostest behind Forking Fantastic: Put the Party Back in Dinner Party.
In today's video, the gals, who've been hosting wildly popular Sunday night shindigs for six years, walk us through dinner party faux pas — and they're not what you'd expect (the tips or the ladies).
You'll feel so inspired, you'll start planning another soiree immediately.
Just don't bring your sexy panda friend.

As the great Dolly Parton once said, "If it's baggin', draggin', or saggin', it's gonna get nipped, tucked, or sucked."
But maybe Dolly just needed an appointment with Linda the Bra Lady (no, seriously), owner of NYC's Linda's Bra Salon, whose mission in life is to make boobs reach their full potential — no plastic surgery required.
In our latest Easy Does It video installment, Linda shows you how to find the right bra size — whether you've got itty bitties or humongous knockers. And, if you're like us, you'll be surprised what you really are (one of us thought she was a 34B and was really a 32C, woo-hoo!).
Linda's been at this for twenty years — so she knows what she's doing. And her online boutique carries tons of hard-to-find sizes in both undergarments and swimwear.
So your bra will work for you from nine to five (and then some).
To visit Linda's Bra Salon e-boutique, go to lindasonline.com.

Your last DIY attempt resulted in a hole (okay, tunnel) from the bathroom to the bedroom and a local shortage on caulk.
But before you vow to never try anything by yourself again, check out our new series of how-to videos aptly entitled Easy Does It.
First up: Hairstylist Julie Dickson, owner of Fox & Boy salon in NYC, shows us how to trim our own bangs. We know, we know, taking scissors to your mane seems pretty cray cray, but we promise it's easier than it seems, not to mention recession friendly.
As an added bonus, Dickson shows us the perfect way to tame our post-ocean coif in a looks-like-a-professional-did-it kind of way.
So prepare to be called a liar.

Peter Piper may have picked a peck of pickled peppers.
But your tongue is about to get a twist of its own in the form of pickled beets. This easy recipe — which includes Atomic Fireballs as an ingredient — was formulated by Wheelhouse Pickles founder Jon Orren, just for DailyCandy.
If you don't like beets, that's okay: You can use almost any veggie (ramps, anyone?) your picky pants desire. The delicious treats make for a great snack at home or a stellar hostess gift — if you were to score an invite on a friend's schooner.
Either way, they'll definitely spice up your summer.
If you'd prefer to buy your pickles instead, go to wheelhousepickles.com. To see the complete recipe, click here.
There's nothing wrong with looking like a sideshow clown — except when it's by accident.
So before you try to paint on this season's mega-bright lips and thick brows yourself, watch our how-to with makeup genius Mike Potter.
Karen O's right-hand man knows a thing or two about bold looks: He did all the makeup magic for Hedwig and the Angry Inch (that man/woman looked hot).
Suffice it to say this Potter's a real wizard.

text: You've closed up shop. No. More. Kids. But that doesn't mean your family is done growing just yet. If your pack is clamoring for a four-legged friend, consider Animal Planet star and NYC dog trainer Andrea Arden's tips for picking the perfect pooch. 1. Start slow. Offer to care for a friend or neighbor's dog, and encourage your child to participate in Animal Haven's Caring Kids Program (ages 4 and up; Tuesdays, 4-6 p.m.). 2. Play it safe. All interactions between kids and dogs (whether their own or someone else's) should be carefully supervised by an adult. Always. 3. Find the right fit. A good temperament vs. a specific breed is key when picking a pooch. Some lovable doggies (border collies, German shepherds, miniature pinschers) aren't good with the quick movements and erratic behaviors of little people. 4. Consider your surroundings. Spare your neighbors of a dog that's vocal (dachshund, beagle). Herding breeds are more sensitive to sounds and stimuli (honk, honk, beep, beep NYC). Smaller isn't always better — Jack Russell terriers, Boston terriers, and beagles are high energy and need a lot of exercise. 5. Run their hearts out. Central Park and Riverside Park are perfect for play, as is a stroll down the West Side Highway through Soho to the Animal Haven shelter for doggie play dates and fun events. Dog Park USA is an excellent app for finding local runs and off-leash parks. Here's to smiles and tail wags all around. For more information on dog training, go to andreaarden.com. Classes start at $350. We have lots more to say (and know you do, too). Join our playgroup on Facebook for giveaways, deals, and more.

The Miami Dolphins recently announced the signing of former Chicago Bears offensive lineman Lance Louis. Louis, a seventh-round selection in the 2009 draft, started 28 games the past four seasons for the Bears, mainly at right guard.
He was performing at a very high level for the Bears last year before an ACL tear in Week 11 ended his season prematurely. He's not expected to be healthy for offseason programs but could be ready to go for the start of the regular season.
According to Pro Football Focus, Louis was the highest-rated pass blocker on the team at the time of his injury. A former tight end in college, it was believed he could play an integral role in Chicago's new zone-blocking run scheme.
The Bears now are without starters at both guard positions. Edwin Williams and James Brown are still on the roster but neither showed well last year and shouldn't be considered long-term options. Even before Louis' departure, the Bears needed to draft a guard. Now that need is exacerbated.
The team may also add a veteran free-agent guard at a minimum salary, but bargain-basement shopping isn't the way to build a championship contender. Expect GM Phil Emery to look long and hard at guards in the first two rounds of this year's draft.

Omaha has changed remarkably over the past 10 or 15 years, and we'd like to think that so has its image.
Yes, something important definitely has changed.
After all, the city now ranks highly in a raft of economic and cultural ratings. And the Brookings Institution this year said Omaha weathered the Great Recession the best of the nation's 100 largest metros.
But it's not clear that the nation sees Omaha much differently from before. To many, the Big O remains a lowercase o, an indistinguishable little Cheerio in a bowl.
What's changed, though, and is probably more important, isn't how the outside world sees Omaha — but how Omaha views itself.
"I completely agree," said Lyn Wallin Ziegenbein, who has spent 30 years as executive director of the Peter Kiewit Foundation. "This is our time, a time of opportunity for us."
As one who grew up elsewhere but has spent my entire adult life in Omaha, I have found the change in attitude and action refreshing. If we previously engaged in a bit of diffidence, timidity or excessive self-deprecation, it's seemingly replaced with quiet but stout confidence.
Lyn, an Omaha native whom I first met in the early 1970s, said the change started no more than 15 years ago, "and I think we've been picking up speed since that time."
The 35,000 or more folks in town this weekend for the annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting catch a mere glimpse of Omaha. Warren Buffett, the Berkshire chairman, says he always gets great feedback from shareholders on how they were treated in his hometown.
Yeah, nice town. But it's not just a matter of being nice.
Omaha, part of a metro area of about 850,000, increasingly acts as though, in many ways, it can compete with the big kids.
The latest example is last weekend's announcement by USA Swimming that in spite of stiff competition from larger cities, the 2016 Olympic Trials will take place in Omaha — for the third Olympiad in a row.
Midwestern sensibility prohibits gloating. But the significance of the selection can be seen in the reaction in St. Louis and San Antonio, the other finalists out of more than 20 cities that expressed interest.
The San Antonio Express-News said a stunned crowd of more than 100 there was shocked when the announcement favored Omaha.
"It's possible to feel worse," the San Antonio Sports chairman said, "but only post-surgically."
In St. Louis, where one headline read "DUNKED," an official said he was shocked.
But another graciously told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the process was fair, especially "when you know what a great job the winning city has done with the event in the past — I've been there both times and knew how high the bar was set."
Seven weeks ago, Creighton University accepted an invitation to join the new Big East Conference to compete with schools in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Milwaukee, Indianapolis and Cincinnati.
The Creighton men's basketball team plays in the CenturyLink Center, the venue that hosts the Olympic Swim Trials, the Berkshire Hathaway meeting, concerts by Lady Gaga, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and many other artists, as well as other events.
The arena, an attached convention center and the Hilton Omaha hotel were built a decade ago in a former Union Pacific repair yard; also built there was the adjacent TDAmeritrade Omaha ballpark, home of the College World Series.
(That national championship series is a mecca for college baseball teams. The Louisiana State locker room features block letters 3 feet high that say "OMAHA.")
The arena-convention center was pushed through by a Republican mayor, Hal Daub, and the ballpark by a Democratic mayor, Mike Fahey. In both cases, the business community and philanthropists donated heavily.
The Peter Kiewit Foundation, named for the late construction magnate whose firm remains one of five Fortune 500 companies in Omaha, pledged $25�million toward the arena-convention center if voters would approve a bond issue.
Other donors stepped up, and voters approved the bonds.
Ziegenbein said no one thing led to Omaha's change. Some date it to First National Bank of Omaha's decision to build a 40-story office tower downtown in the late 1990s.
Lyn said lots of things have improved, including expansions of Creighton, the University of Nebraska at Omaha and the University of Nebraska Medical Center, now Omaha's largest employer.
The $100 million Holland Performing Arts Center was built downtown, mostly with donated money.
A $525 million headquarters for the U.S. Strategic Command is scheduled for 2016 completion at Offutt Air Force Base, just south of Omaha and adjacent to Bellevue.
Not all the construction has taken place on the Omaha side of the Missouri River. Google recently announced plans to increase its investment in data centers in the Council Bluffs area to a total of $1.5 billion.
Our Iowa neighbor, meanwhile, has made it a point of pride to decorate itself with much public art.
The Omaha City Council last year joined many other cities in approving an anti-discrimination ordinance allowing gay and transgender residents to file formal complaints if they believe they were fired because of their sexual orientation. (Though some want it repealed.)
The various high rankings for the Omaha area sometimes even make Omahans shake their heads and smile in wonder.
MTV's Iggy website in March named Omaha the No. 2 up-and-coming music city in the world, the only U.S. city in the top 10 list.
And a website called Livability ranked Omaha as the No. 4 spring-break destination — not for college students, but for families.
"Omaha is, perhaps, a great place," allowed a columnist for the Birmingham (Ala.) News. "Warren Buffett seems to like it, and they have five Fortune 500 companies in Omaha to Birmingham's one. The Reuben sandwich was invented in Omaha, apparently.
"But is Omaha a great place to spend spring break 2013?"
After the freakish 3-inch snow last week, Omaha's first May snow in 46 years, we'd settle for any spring that actually felt like spring.
High rankings seem to come season after season. TripAdvisor, the world's largest travel website, named Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium the nation's No. 1 zoo.
Kiplinger, a financial magazine, last year rated Omaha the No. 1 city for raising kids. And in 2011 it called Omaha the No. 1 value city in America for its "hot business climate, cool amenities and cheap-and-easy living."
And yet in parts of the prosperous city, crime and poverty persist. Efforts are under way to close the academic achievement gap, especially through early childhood education, so that kids arrive in kindergarten ready to learn.
The annual Berkshire Hathaway meeting draws shareholders from around the world and focuses attention on Omaha. So do lots of other things year-around.
But even if our city's name isn't a household name beyond Omaha Steaks, Mutual of Omaha and the Oracle of Omaha (Buffett), we who live here sense that the town has grown.
Lyn Wallin Ziegenbein, a fifth-generation descendant of Swedish immigrants who populated the area in the 1800s, says she didn't think she would live long enough to see the Omaha we see now.
"I think 'nimble' is a good way to describe us on community action and private-public partnerships," she said. "So much in this town is built on relationships and mutual trust. May it ever be so."
Maybe we haven't changed the city's national image. But folks with vision want to make it the best Omaha we can imagine.

I've built a couple machines now. But for both of them, I can read from the dvd, but I can not write. My first machine has a LG GSA-H55N, the second one has a LG GH22NP20. Neither can burn DVD or DL dvd. In fact, they dont even show up in the system profiler. But when I put in a cd/dvd, it does show up.
I've seached, but most listed DVD burners are older that people suggest. My local computer store is usually pretty up to date and current on hardware. Any suggestions on a newer or late model drive that works?

How one man made Social Media Marketing turn his company around
Today's changing culture suggests one of two things for business. It suggests that you have to adjust to the changing business model or you will certainly pass away.
Seriously, it's that cut throat. I'm not simply saying that because I am a social media advertising professional, I'm saying that since I have actually seen companies go from absolutely nothing to something in a short period of time and I have actually also seen a business go from something to absolutely nothing due to the fact that they failed to accept social media advertising into their overall marketing mix techniques.
Here is my advice to companies and brands who are still on the bubble when it comes to deciding to include social media marketing.
Do it now and do it quickly! There is nothing time left in this crazy globe. Suggesting that every person is leaping on the bus. Most companies have actually seen the value of social media marketing and just what it can do for their company. I myself, have seen the outcomes in the last couple of years.
In fact, I have gotten more leads and conversions than I would have ever gotten if I had not used social media marketing into my own campaigns.
Right here is a fast tale. I fulfilled a man who possessed a Recording studio. He was trying to find a means to record more leads online so that he could lease his area. In the beginning he was spending a good quantity of cash on PPC projects which were good, but was not assisting his overall objectives. On the contrary he was investing too much on advertising and wasn't delighted with the results.
After he located me online he gave me a telephone call and I instantly offered him several ideas that would not just save him cash but target the right people in his area.
Right here is what we did … First we created several Social Network accounts, Than we developed tons of content utilizing videos and articles. For one month I would post and distribute his content all throughout the web.
Within two short months the phone begin to ring off the hook and in a matter of days he was swamped with calls from potential clients. We also highlighted his studio with a video that helped people see what they were getting into. He now has over 1,500 subscribers on YouTube and has a daily following of loyal evangelist to talk about his studio.
This is just one way to break with the mess and become the purple cow in your sector.

Justice Department v. Standard & Poor's: Is revenge a motive?
Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder leads a news conference to announced that the United States is bringing a civil lawsuit against the ratings agency Standards & Poor's and its parent company, McGraw-Hill Companies, over its pre-fiscal crisis bond ratings.
That's what Matt Nesto and Jeff Macke at Yahoo Finance think, and you can watch them talk about it here.
The timing of the Justice Department's lawsuit against the credit rating agency — alleging that S&P fradulently overrated numerous mortgage-backed securites in the lead-up to the financial crisis — is a tad suspicious, surfacing as Washington is about to enter what could be a fractious debate over sequestration.
Those automatic cuts could begin March 1 if Congress doesn't resolve or delay them. And hanging over the process, like Damocles' sword, is the threat that S&P in particular will downgrade U.S. debt again, repeating an action that it took after the debt ceiling debate in 2011.
The Justice Department filed its 124-page complaint — which contains enough securities-market abbreviations (RMBS, CDO, SVP...) to thrill even the most jaded of finance geeks — in Los Angeles late Monday. Various reports suggest that state attorneys general will follow suit, with California's Kamala Harris and New York's Eric Schneiderman leading the charge.
For California, a budget surplus won't translate into a reserve
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
A view of the California State Capitol. The budget outlook is improving for the Golden State, but that doesn't mean there will soon be a lot of money on the bank.
California may declare a surplus for its fiscal year 2014 budget. Unfortunately, the state won't be able to put money in the bank for a rainy day.
That doesn't mean its outlook isn't looking up. The credit rating agency Moody's likes what it sees in the Golden State's improved fiscal situation. In particular, the passage of Prop 30 last November — raising incomes taxes on wealthy Californians and sales taxes on everybody — bodes well for future revenues.
But getting the budget out of deficit and into surplus doesn't mean the state will be prepared for the next inevitable economic bust.
Moody's analyst Emily Raimes blames a history of underfunding education.
"As revenues increase in the state in the next few years, additional revenues will have to be dedicated to bringing that education funding back to the baseline where it would have been if the state had not been doing that underfunding," she said.
Moody's raises a red flag about November California tax revenues
Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images
California Gov. Jerry Brown discusses pension reform during a news conference in Los Angeles. The state's revenue outlook deteriorated slightly in November.
The tax revenue outlook for California has been improving. But Moody's, the big credit rating agency, reported Friday that the take for November was lower than expected.
The agency wasted no time is raising a red flag about the sudden reversal of a positive revenue trend. November came in 11 percent lower than the state's budget called for.
Emily Raimes, a Moody's analyst with whom we've talked before at the DeBord Report, pointed out that the shortfall highlights the volatility of California's tax revenues — a point I've been droning on about for months now. In the state, we're overly dependent on the incomes of the rich to make the budget work.
This is something that Raimes says Moody's "sees in states with high wealth." The same issue arises in New York and New Jersey.
"California's progressive income tax structure fuels the volatility; the wealthiest 15% of state taxpayers pay approximately 80% of all state taxes, according to the state's audited financial reports," she wrote in a contribution to Moody's Weekly Credit Outlook.
The investors' view on the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision
Alex Wong/Getty Images
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. Will continued low interest rates lead to inflation? Some money managers don't think so.
The Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee announcement Wednesday wasn't a big surprise on the interest-rate front. The Fed has stated it intends to keep short-term rates low for the foreseeable future, in an effort to stimulate the economy and push investors into riskier assets, like stocks. A continued low-interest rate environment will also continue to bolster the housing market, where mortgage rates are at historic lows.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and the rest of the FOMC annouced that they will keep rates low until unemployment falls to 6.5 percent. It will also continue to buy up mortgage-backed securities, at roughly the same rate it has been (so-called "Quantitive Easing," installment 3, or "QE3").
[UPDATE: I slightly misinterpreted what the Fed is doing on the bond-buying side. It's also worth noting that the Fed is now saying that it will keep interest rates low until unemployment hits a specified level. This is a policy departure from saying that rates will stay low until the economy improves. But anyway, bond-buying: the Fed is going to double what it's doing in the QE front and change "Operation Twist" into an extension of QE3. The older aspect of QE will still involve buying MBS. But the additions to QE3 will entail buying long-term U.S. Treasuries without selling short-term bonds. This is important as it means the Fed will be adding $85 billion per month to its balance sheet — under Operation Twist, it hadn't grown much, which was viewed as an way to "sterilize" against inflation. Former Dallas Fed President Bob McTeer has a good post about the FOMC decision at Forbes.]
San Bernardino bankruptcy: How hard will CalPERS fight for its money?
Max Whittaker/Getty Images
A sign stands in front of California Public Employees' Retirement System building. CalPERS is trying to prevent bankrupt cities from evading pension obligations.
Last week, Moody's, the rating agency, released a note about the ongoing San Bernardino bankruptcy and the city's pension obligations to CalPERS. According to Moody's, San Bernardino's total unfunded pension liability far outstrips it other municipal debt.
San Bernardino declared bankruptcy in July, after the city council revealed that it barely had enough money to keep the lights on. A big question in the bankruptcy has been whether the city will attempt to reduce or discharge its CalPERS liabilities. As Moody's pointed out, neither Vallejo, which went into Chapter 9 in 2008 and emerged in 2011, nor Stockton, which declared bankruptcy earlier this year, sought concessions from CalPERS. In Vallejo's case, other creditors took a substantial haircut.
CalPERS maintains that pension obligations can't legally be reduced in bankruptcy. That hasn't stopped San Bernardino from ceasing payments, to the tune of $6 million. CalPERS is now disputing San Bernardino's Chapter 9 eligibility, according to Moody's, and is threatening to do away with the city's pension plan. This would expose San Bernardino to a bigger pension payment, due immediately.

Blog, Green Hotel
It has been an exciting month for our sister hotel, The Grand Hotel in Salem! "The Block" of the Salem Oregon Convention Center, The Grand Hotel in Salem and Bentley's Grill was recognized for their environmentally sound practices at the 2011 Mid-Valley Green Awards in Salem, Oregon!
"The Block" was named "Large Sustainable Business Of The Year" at the 2011 Mid-Valley Green Awards in Salem, Oregon!
The Grand Hotel in Salem and Bentley's Grill and The Salem Conference Center is the first hotel and restaurant and conference center in Salem and Marion County to be EarthWISE certified.
We are very proud to be a part of a company that engages in sustainable practices in everyday operations, and strives to do business with other companies who share dedication to "green" business practices. A few of our green operational practices include:
- Use 100% recycled paper for all printed material
- Utilize Earth friendly cleaning solutions
- Installation of earth friendly drainage systems
- Energy Star appliances used throughout the hotel
- Sleeping room towel and linen program
- Recycling in all guest rooms as well as public areas
- Use of compact fluorescent light bulb throughout the hotel
Green and Environmentally Sustainable Hotels and Events are Not Just a Trend
When we opened our doors in August of 2009, one of our objectives was to make the The Grand Hotel at Bridgeport as earth-friendly as possible. More and more travelers and meeting planners are choosing hotels that engage in sustainable practices in everyday operations. And when you are a luxury hotel in one of America's "Green-ist" cities such as Portland, it is very important to pay attention to this fact. It also makes us feel good as a company to try and reduce wasteful operations and toxic products.
Our sister hotel, The Grand Hotel Salem/Phoenix Grand Hotel in Salem Oregon has been on the forefront on implementing even better Eco practices by developing a "Green Team" led by Sales Director Kristi Reed.
In fact- we are moving in a direction where operating a "green business" is becoming an industry standard. This expectation is demonstrated in an article from Travel Portland
From 2009 Green Meeting Trends
…. the sustainable meeting industry is alive, growing and shows no signs of stopping. In fact, the move from fringe to mainstream is well underway. According to the December 2008 Ernst & Young Report, Global Hospitality Insights: Hospitality Going Green, "Those companies with business models that revolve around green practices will have the strongest opportunity of achieving a 'sustainable' competitive advantage."
"It's a buyer's market, and the buyers appear to want green," reports Tyler Davidson, editorial director, Meetings Media. "There was a size able jump in the number of meeting planners who are planning or expect to plan a green meeting, led by 51 percent of independents [a 16 percent jump over the last survey] and followed by 46.8 percent of corporates [a 10.5 percent jump over the last survey], and 44.4 percent both of association planners and government planners."
The MPI Business Barometer, November 2008, reports similar findings. "Many meeting professionals continue to expect a trend toward 'green' meetings. Technology providers and regional destinations may specifically prosper from current trends." The same report identifies "green meetings" as a "Top Ten" trend planners anticipate influencing meetings and events business over the next six months.
A recent survey of corporate travel managers by the National Business Travel Association indicates nearly 30 percent of managers incorporate green considerations into their travel policies and that nearly 25 percent prefer green meeting suppliers. Another 30 percent will use hotels in the future that feature environmentally friendly amenities and practices.
Consumers are driving the demand. A 2008 survey on consumer choice and the environment found that customers "feel empowered when it comes to the environment and are taking some action in their daily lives to reduce consumption and waste." More than a third of American respondents in a TripAdvisor survey said they will visit an environmentally friendly hotel or resort in 2009. Additionally, 32 percent of respondents said they will be more environmentally conscious in their travel decisions than they were the year before.
What are your thoughts? We would love to hear your comments on our blog or on our Facebook Page and hear your ideas on how you think we can make our hotel even "greener".

We have all heard stories about how Blacks use to perform on stage in front of millions of Whites in places where Blacks were not even allowed. Many would come to call this COONING. The Urban dictionary defines cooning as, "a verb derived from the word coon. A coon was/is a person of African decent whose sole purpose was/is to entertain white people. These 'coons' started out as wearing black face, characterized by having big eyes and painting big red lips on their face. These people would tap dance, play instruments and sing."
Was this us performing for our Master? Was this another form of slavery? Remember hearing about Slave Masters that use to make their slaves sometimes serve as their entertainment on the Plantations?
I am sure that many of us have already pondered on the above statements before, but there is another form of entertainment that I do no think many have ever questioned. Read the below statements and see if cooning can be inserted somewhere in the quotes.
Forty Million Dollar Slaves:
"David Falk, the sports attorney who helped make Michael Jordon into a global icon, recalled a negotiation session with the Knicks in 1991. After Falk and player Patrick Ewing made an offer, the general manager looked at Ewing and asked, 'How much money is enough?' Falk said he knew that Ewing was offended, and so was he. 'I knew that in Ewings mind that wasn't an economic statement, it wasn't a negotiation statement. It was a racist statement saying, 'You're a young black man, how much is enough?'"
It took so many years for Black athletes to even be allowed to play with White athletes. Once they were allowed to play, the elevated compensation of some players obscured the reality of exploitation and contemporary colonization. Today Black athletes are paid a lot of money to play sports, but sometimes it still seems like they are cooning.
When I was in the audience of a Basketball game one night, I can recall watching this guy slap one of the Black ball players on the butt, but instead of it looking like your usual slap on the butt done during games, it made me shiver. It appeared more like he was sending "his slave" out to go coon some more. Go out and do what I pay you to do.
I am quickly taken back to the Plantation where Slave Masters use to make their slaves fight one another for entertainment and to claim they had the strongest Negro's. Are our Black athletes secretly being played like that? Most Black athletes are the Franchise players....wait I think you missed that.
Have they begin paying us millions of dollars just to be able to control us more? Is the money, that Black athletes make, thrown in the faces of the rest of the community? Do we then try to obtain the same amounts of money as them, and want to spend it the way that they do? Does money then somehow create a new form of Slavery?
If you understand what is being said, let me know what you think.
Are they Million Dollar Slaves? Are we?
The point of this is not to just ponder on if the Black athlete is a slave, but to understand the new form of Slavery that is occurring.
Keep Up!

Obama in violation of War Powers Act?by Opinion Staff
Memorial Day comes with a fresh controversy over presidential power to send U.S. troops to war.
Several lawmakers, including Rep. Tom Rooney, R-Tequesta, testified before a House committee that President Obama is in violation of the War Powers Act for failing to get proper congressional approval to continue U.S. operations against Libya.
The War Powers Act, passed in 1973 over President Nixon's veto, allows presidents to use force in emergencies but supposedly requires them to seek and receive congressional approval within 60 days. It was intended to prevent open-ended escalations such as occurred in Vietnam.
President Obama has maintained that he is not in violation. He sent a letter to congressional leaders on May 20, the end of the 60-day deadline, asking them to pass a resolution supporting the Libya operation. But Congress has not done so.
The operation in Libya, which has lasted longer and been more difficult than expected, is under NATO command.
Of course, America is the primary player in NATO.
We think the president needs congressional approval to continue the Libya effort. What do you think? Is President Obama in violation of the War Powers Resolution? Take our poll.

Man accused of taking cell phoneJuly 24,2013Man accused of
taking cellphone
BENNINGTON A Manchester resident was charged with a felony after a woman told police he took her cellphone.
Christopher J. Stevens, 21, of Manchester pleaded innocent Monday in Bennington criminal court to a felony count of larceny from a person.
Officer Christopher Mason of the Manchester Police Department said Taylor Kristiansen told him May 17 that Stevens had taken her cellphone earlier that day.
Kristiansen told police Stevens spit in her face and forced her to the ground before taking the phone.
Mason said Stevens admitted to taking the phone. Stevens told Mason he was concerned because Kristiansen had gone out and come back all messed up on something so he wanted to know with whom she had been talking, according to the court affidavit.
Stevens was released without bail Monday but ordered not to have contact with Kristiansen.MORE IN This Just InTODAY'S WEATHER MINUTE: Soil beneath Greenland ice sheet predates dawn of mankind, Hitch faces true Hollawood problem head-on, Mark Twain on school boards, all in today's minute. 0Rutland Herald content editor Rich Alcott shares local weather information and easily digestible...

Vickie the swan unlikely to head home due to ongoing illness
Date: January 30, 2013
by: Robin Hartill | City Editor
The Bay Isles waters were Vickie the swan's home for 11 years.
Her territory was the area closest to Publix.
She was named for longtime Publix associate Vickie "Miss Vickie" Workman.
Now, Vickie has a new home, and it's probably permanent.
Unofficial "swan keeper" David Novak took Vickie to Save Our Seabirds Sunday, Jan. 20, one day after he noticed that she was in distress.
"She was lying on the ground and wouldn't move," Novak said. "She obviously hadn't preened herself. She was dirty, and her feathers were turning down."
Novak credits Save Our Seabirds staffers with helping Vickie improve, but he doesn't expect her health to improve enough to allow her to return home.
That means that her mate, Henry, will find himself on the swan singles scene.
"Henry could be fine by himself, or a female could fly in from another area," Novak said.
In the past year, Vickie has undergone two stints of rehabilitation at Save Our Seabirds because of an intestinal disorder.
Novak took her to the City Island facility last April because she wasn't swimming normally and was incessantly shaking her tail and showing signs of digestive issues.
Save Our Seabirds staffers administered fluids and antibiotics to Vickie during her first rehabilitation, which allowed her to return home after a week.
A few days later, Novak brought her back after noticing that she was displaying her original symptoms.
Her reunion with Henry after the second trip to rehab was straight out of a romance novel: Vickie and Henry necked for 30 seconds upon her return.
So, will Henry be happy without his mate? That has yet to be seen.
"Generally, swans can live alone and be quite content," Novak said.
Not yet nesting season
No, there aren't any swan nests — yet.
Nesting season typically occurs in late February or early March for swans.
If you're counting those cygnets before they hatch, there are still three potential pairs of parents in Vickie's absence: Stan and Wendy, Alan and Beverly, and a pair of young unnamed swans that Novak believes could mate.

Remember when salt caramel was something new?
Above, a red velvet cocktail and red velvet cake with beets from The Salt Exchange in Portland; below, a traditional red velvet cake. You can get the red color in the cake two ways. Cocoa contains a natural pigment called anthocyanin that is brought out by the addition of acids like buttermilk or vinegar, which are key ingredients in traditional red velvet cake recipes.
John Ewing/Staff Photographer
Once only in the culinary repertoire of pastry chefs, now the flavor is used in candies, brownies, ice cream and in unexpected products like hot cocoa and vodka. And they are sold everywhere, from the finest restaurant to big box stores.
The same thing appears to be happening with red velvet.
Red velvet cake, a perfect choice for Valentine's Day, is a classic Southern dessert once only brought out for holidays and other special occasions. The staff at the Waldorf Astoria in New York claim to have invented it, and their recipe is all over the Internet, but that story is suspect. Wherever it originated, it's the South that lays cultural claim to the dessert.
Known for its moistness, traditional red velvet is a classic layer cake, consisting of chocolate-y cake that's got a distinct red tint to it covered in cream cheese frosting. Depending on the cocoa and the amount of coloring, the cake may look like a dark devil's food cake with just a touch of red, or the cake may be more of a brownish-red color. Some people enjoy making it a bright red -- so bright that it's almost fluorescent and you can't tell there's any cocoa in the cake at all.
You can get the red color in the cake two ways. Cocoa contains a natural pigment called anthocyanin that is brought out by the addition of acids like buttermilk or vinegar, which are key ingredients in traditional red velvet cake recipes. Don't ever use Dutch process cocoa if you want to go the natural route.
"Most cocoa powders, unless they're natural, have some sort of alkali in them to keep them in the powdered state so they don't clump," says Adam White, executive chef at The Salt Exchange in Portland, who will be serving red velvet cake on Valentine's Day. "So it's really important not to use a Dutch cocoa, or anything that has an additive in there because it will definitely deteriorate the pigment."
Over the years, as Dutch process cocoa took over the shelves, bakers enhanced the redness of their cakes with red food coloring. (Marketing by food extract companies didn't hurt, either.) Most old recipes call for at least a 1-ounce bottle or two of food coloring, and I have seen some recipes that call for two 2-ounce bottles, which seems crazy.
If the idea of using food coloring turns you off, there's an old story that says bakers used beets during World War II rationing to color their red velvet cakes. That's what White uses in his red velvet cake, which he will be serving Thursday in the shape of a heart with some raspberry cream and a heart-shaped chocolate mousse.
"Beets have been used for dying food and clothes throughout the centuries," White said. "There's great antioxidants in beets as well, so it can't hurt."
Using beets can also be tricky, though, and mess with the chemistry of the cake.
"The beets are very sensitive to water, and an abundance of water will obviously dilute the pigment," White said. "Too much alkaline -- baking soda or baking powder -- will also dilute the pigment. And heat. Acids are really good, so we added a little bit more lemon juice just to hold that pigment in place, and a little bit of vinegar."
Using pureed beets is like adding applesauce to a cake -- they keep it very moist.
White used a little almond extract in his cream cheese frosting to cut the sharpness of the cream cheese. "Very subtle," he said, "but also very good."

Norfolk >Food & Dining > Kincaid's Fish Chop & Steak
300 Monticello Ave Ste 147, Norfolk, VA | Directions 2351036.849543 -76.289459
Neighborhoods: DNC
My favorite place to eat in NOrfolk. – fine dining prices but you get a fine dining experience, the best service, atmosphere and food in town!
Most Beautiful Restaurant Downtown Hands Down! – Pretty is an understatement when describing Kincaid's. Breathtaking is more like it. Not to mention that it's located inside a mall. I guess that's what takes you by surprise. The food and service are just as fantastic as the decor, but as a true woman I was sold on the ambience. The bar is huge and appears to be stocked with about every bottle you can think of. It's very "Frank Sinatra" with dark wood and club chairs. The dining room carries the same wood with deep, high back booths and intimate tables. As far as food and wine goes, they have a expansive wine list with options in any price range and, believe it or not, their own sommelier. His name is Sam. He's very approachable and not what you picture when you think wine guy. He was able to guide us to a couple of great steals on the menu. He also suggested the chocolate torte with a ruby port. It was an amazing pairing and I'm not even a fan of port. If you go, be sure to try the prime rib. It's rock salt roasted, a concept pretty new to me, but it definitely made a difference in taste. It was moist, tender, juicy and came with garlic mashed potatoes. My husband had the asiago halibut with white wine butter sauce. Amazing. All in all, it was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. We will be back.
California Dining on the East Coast – We were in town from southern California and were so pleased to find a Kincaid's here. The service and quality of our dinner was just perfect! My husband and I had our first date at Kincaid's and he proposed there. It's a very upscale restaurant and we visit it often. We love the bread pudding!!!
A Gem in Downtown Norfolk – This restaurant is beautiful and clean. Right from the start you know that you are in for a special treat because the host will greet you with a big smile and promptly show you to a beautiful table. There are a wide variety of different styles of tables so you can usually always have the type of seat you prefer. Next, the service, the waitstaff is always on point and you will never have to wait very long for your drinks or dinner because they are always helping each other out on the floor! They are all very kind and genuine and really care about creating a delightful experience for their guests. I always ask for Audrey or Scott! When something is wrong (which very rarely happens when I eat there) they are gracious and expedient in implementing a solution. The managers really want the best for their guests and are willing to accommodate any reasonable requests.
Finally, the food! That's only one part of the picture but it is an important one! The food at Kincaid's is amazing. It isn't pretentious, it's just great food with a great taste that you would make for yourself at home if you had the time! They have all kinds of choices from fish, poultry, beef and pork! Also, the salads would make your healthy eating choices so easy and delicious! Try the Maple Chicken Salad!
I cannot say enough about how awesome the fully stocked bar is at Kincaid's! It's the LARGEST bar back in all of Norfolk! The bar tenders are experienced and knowledgeable which means they make the signature sips at Kincaid's the BEST drinks you can buy! I HIGHLY recommend the Vanilla Sky martini, and make sure you ask that Kim make your drink for you. She is THE BEST!
If you combine all three factors: the ambiance, the service and the food/drinks, you have an unbeatable dining experience awaiting you! This is a great place for large parties, celebrations (especially birthdays *hint*hint*), romantic dining and entertaining out of town guests.
One of Norfolk's Finest! Enjoy!
very nice – I love Kincaids. Have eaten there many times. A good place to take out of town guests. Never had a bad meal there and some have been extraordinary. The prices are on par with other good steak places. Have almost always had excellent service and the one time I didn't the manager made it up to me by not letting me pay for my meal.
The Best Prime Rib in Downtown! – Great service, great drinks, great food! Hands down the best Prime Rib we have had in years. Our dinner waiter was very knowledgeable and attentive, the hostess friendly and helpful. Kincaid's was a pleasant surprise! And we will return!
Not a quality restaurant – I have eaten at almost every nice restaurant in the Norfolk area and this should definitely NOT be considered one of those. It has good drinks and is good for a quick bite while shopping, but does not compare with other nice restaurants in the area (Bobbywood, Todd Jurich, Byrd and Baldwin steakhouse). The food is priced as expected for a nicer restaurant, but the flavor is just not there. As another reviewer mentioned this restaurant is in the mall and the quality shows that. Trust me if you love food and are in the Norfolk area then spend your money at one of the other restaurants mentioned. This is meant for people shopping not for dining as they lead you to believe.
Awesome place! – I always feel that I am treated very well by the staff here. The hostesses are very nice, the waiters are wonderful - it's nice to be treated with respect. The food is WONDERFUL. I have tried a lot of different things and have loved it all. As long as you know ahead of time that you are going to spend a good bit of money, this is a great place. My husband and I come here for every special occasion.
Great lunch specials... – I had lunch recently at Kincaid's. The server who waited on me, Scott D. was very warm, inviting, had a GENUINE smile and very courteous. I wasn't really sure what I wanted to order and he took the time to explain some of the lunch favorites and even told me about some of their specialty dishes. I ended up ordering the Caribbean Ahi Tuna, which I ordered rare. Scott came back after putting in my order to make sure I really wanted the dish rare. He really seemed to want to satisfy his dining guests, myself and the tables he waited on that surrounded me. I NEVER had to ask for any refills on my beverage. He came back often to check on me but never hovered. All-in-all I had a wonderful experience. If you ever dine at Kincaid's for lunch, I suggest you ask for Scott D. He is AWESOME!
Disapppointing for the money – Poor service; the waiter couldn't remember our drink orders, and got the steaks wrong; it was only 3 of us! We could hardly find him when we needed refills, too. The salad tomatoes were "food service" grade. I'd expect the buyer to pick out the best ones, not plastic, mushy, pink ones, for the cost of a meal at Kincaid's.
