Delta Air Lines Changes Mileage Program, Budget Travelers Lose {Gadling}
Jan 25th 2013 6:08PM I have been a loyal Delta customer for over a decade. I would endure layovers, longer durations, older planes, no personal TVs, older and less attractive female flight attendants just to fly Delta or SkyTeam members. Although to make the same status for me means an extra 1-2 domestic short-haul flights a year depending on the MQD. After reading some official information on the restructuring of MQM calculations, MQD calculations, I no longer see the benefit of Skymiles and will seek alternative programs. Delta took away a lot of benefits and added more rules to make status, but they didn't even bother to strengthen the status benefits.

Dec 19th 2012 4:35PM One of the worse travel videos I have seen. Extremely boring, long with lots of pointless fillers, not enough footage. The type was horrible too. the entire first minute and a half is filled with pointless RyanAir engine and wings. Come on!? You want good travel videos? look under here: http://vimeo.com/johnrobson/videos he has some nice none boring ones.

Despite population diversity, U.S. park visitors are overwhelmingly white {Gadling}
Aug 4th 2011 8:02PM below article explains why better:
If you find yourself trapped in the middle of the woods without electricity, running water, or a car you would likely describe that situation as a “nightmare” or “a worse case scenario like after plane crash or something.” White people refer to it as “camping.”
When white people begin talking to you about camping they will do their best to tell you that it’s very easy and it allows them to escape the pressures and troubles of the urban lifestyle for a more natural, simplified, relaxing time. Nothing could be further from the truth.
In theory camping should be a very inexpensive activity since you are literally sleeping on the ground. But as with everything in white culture, the more simple it appears the more expensive it actually is.
Camping is a multi-day, multi-step, potentially lethal activity that will cost you a large amount of both time and money. Unless you are in some sort of position where you absolutely need the friendship of a white person, you should avoid camping at all costs.
The first stage of camping always involves a trip to an outdoor equipment store like REI (or in Canada, Mountain Equipment Co-Op). These stores are well known for their abundance of white customers and their extensive inventory of things for white people to buy and only use once. If you are ever tricked into going to one of these stores, you can make white people like you by saying things like “man, this Kayak is only $1200, if I use it 35 times I’ve already saved money over renting.” Note: do not actually buy the kayak.
Next, white people will then take this new equipment and load it into an SUV or Subaru Outback with a Thule or Yakima Roof Rack. Then they will drive for an extended period of time to a national park or campsite where they will pay an entrance fee and begin their journey. It is worth noting that white people are unaware of the irony of using a gas burning car to bring them closer to nature and it is not recommended that you point this out. It will ruin their weekend.
Once in the camp area, white people will walk around for a while, set up a tent, have a horrible night of sleep, walk around some more. Then get in the car and go home. This, of course, is a best case scenario. Worst case scenarios include: getting lost, poisoned, killed by an animal, and encountering an RV. Of these outcomes, the latter is seen by white people as the worst since it involves an encounter with the wrong kind of white people.
Conversely, any camping trip that ends in death at the hands of nature or requires the use of valuable government resources for a rescue is seen as relatively positive in white culture. This is because both situations might eventually lead to a book deal or documentary film about the experience.
Ultimately the best way to escape a camping trip with white people is to say that you have allergies. Since white people and their children are allergic to almost everything, they will understand and ask no further questions. You should not say something like “looking at history, the instances of my people encountering white people in the woods have not worked out very well for us.”
