2. There is a large enough vocal group within the union that pushes Fehr to get back to the table and make a deal next week. Tells him to accept a 10 year CBA, tells him to drop the "transitional issues" (amnesty buyouts and escrow cap...isnt the 'make whole' a transitional method anyway?), tells him to try and push the contract limit as far as he can (6 or 7 years), and gets a deal done.
I don't get the sense that this NHL "final offer" is anything like the last couple. I really believe they're at the end of their rope here.
The players need to recognize that and not screw it up, or else they're in for a world of hurt when all the progress they've made (they'd actually save face with a deal similar to what they have on the table now) comes flying off the table.
That's exactly what they want everyone to believe - that they are at the end of their tether. But in reality, they won't reach the end until the season is cancelled and the NHLPA decertifies. No owner wants that. The complete unknown is far more damaging to the owners than it is the players because the players can still bank on the free market.
CBAs have become just another form of allowing owners to flatten costs across the board. It benefits them much more overall. In fact, the NBA recognizes this and took the right action by decertifying early. It's the only chip they had to play.
This is grandstanding at its finest. Fehr said there would "drop dead dates". Bettman denies it, but what happened? The owners increased their prior "best offer", thereby lending credence to Fehr's argument. The owners moved. There is a timeline. There are tactics at play here and I'm not surprised that just when both sides have been closer than they have ever been, the owners pulled the offer and became accusatory... They know the players will question Fehr the next time the owners make a concession.

Friends of the Earth Spain launched a campaign titled "Municipalities Free From Fracking" aiming to raise awareness among local authorities on the huge impacts caused by the use of the fracking technique on the land, water, people and climate.
The idea is also to encourage authorities and citizens to be part of the growing movement of people rejecting fracking in Spanish territories, with municipalities declaring themselves free from this activity and in favor of an energy model change.
The coordinator of the Climate and Energy campaign of Friends of the Earth Spain, Hector de Prado, told Real World Radio that despite the "fracking free" declaration is symbolic, because it is not legally binding, it represents "an extremely powerful message to the industry that shows that the Spanish people don´t want fracking in their territory".
The Spanish environmental organization has created a new website for the campaign launched on March 25: http://municipioslibresdefracking.org/ There, they explain that fracking is a technique used to extract non conventional gas, such as shale gas, based on injecting millions of litres of water, sand and chemical substances into underground land, aiming to recover the gas stored kilometers deep. "First you have to drill vertically, and then horizontally to inject this chemical mix at high pressure to break the shale underground so that the gas it contains can flow back to the surface of the well".
Currently, there are between 400 and 500 municipalities in Spain that have declared themselves free from fracking, ever since in early 2010 the companies started exploration works to search for non conventional gas in the country.
According to Hector de Prado, there are currently 60 to 70 exploration permits granted in Spain. It is not known whether theses permits are targeted to find non conventional gas, because the law in Spain does not require companies to state what is they are looking for. However, Friends of the Earth Spain believes these are projects to develop fracking activities due to the type of companies involved and their features.
In addition, de Prado explained that Spain is extremely dependent on fossil fuels imported from other countries and the government is "obsessed" with breaking with this dependence, and therefore fracking is seen in a favorable light.
According to a press release issued by Friends of the Earth Spain, the US experience, which has been using fracking for over 10 years, shows huge impacts on water, air and the health of the people. Prado also highlighted the emission of methane gas, one of the most important green house gases (that cause climate change).
Meanwhile, in the European Union, despite the reports commissioned in the past years by the Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safetyf the European Parliament or by the European Commission itself, where it is clearly recognized that fracking would have devastating effects on the territory and negative impacts on health and climate, countries such as the UK and Poland, in addition to Spain, are promoting this activity.
"Contrary to what investors and large extractive companies think, we believe that these valuable natural resources should be used in a fair and sustainable way", said the Prado. And he added that his organization is demanding to end "the addiction to fossil fuels" and will continue promoting renewable energy and energy saving. "Because it is known that the best energy is the energy we don´t use", he concluded.

El Premio Goldman 2015 otorgado a la luchadora hondureña Berta Cáceres significó la visibilidad de la lucha social en ese país, a seis años del Golpe de Estado y llegó en un momento de movilización popular anticorrupción que es común a otros países del istmo, como es el caso de Guatemala.
Ya pasaron tres años de la Masacre de Curuguaty, en Paraguay, en la que 11 campesinos y seis policías fueron asesinados. Recordamos la tragedia que sigue esperando por justicia y que dio la excusa perfecta para el golpe de Estado que derrocó al gobierno de Fernando Lugo.

We've always had a thing for the land down under: the surf, the sun, the all-you-can-eat shrimp on the barbie. Not to mention the sophisticated style of famous exports Nic and Naomi, who always look chic without trying too hard. Fortunately, we can get a little taste of Oz stateside with these new-to-the-U.S. lipstick pencils from hip Aussie brand Mirenesse. The bold, glossy hues are a no-fail way to add polish to any ensemble, and the long-lasting formula stays high-impact for hours. Bonus: Each pencil doubles as a dreamy cheek stain.
I am a conosour of lipglosses. I have several crayon glosses. This one does nto dazzle me. It goes on smooth but the color isn't great coverage for color and not glossy enough for gloss. Kinda fails on all counts to me. It's not terrible, just not more than ok. I don't care for the smell either but it's not offensive. Just tried many that I like the smell of.3

2007 Buick Lucerne Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 5 reviews
In its second year as the full-size sedan replacement for the popular LeSabre, the 2007 Buick Lucerne made few changes, aside from a new grille. The base model CX sedan features a 3.8-liter, 197-hp V6 engine. The luxury CXL comes with either the V6 or the new and much more robust 4.6-liter, 275-hp V8. The top-end sporty CXS comes only with the V8. All engines are paired with a 4-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission.
The 2007 Lucerne aims to compete with the well-known luxury brands of Lexus and Mercedes. It certainly comes with plenty of standard features, such as ABS brakes, air conditioning, power seats, windows, and locks, and leather upholstery on all but the base model. Magnetic ride control is combined with Stabilitrak for sturdier and more precise handling on the road. Reinforced steel parts and extra insulation have been added to help reduce road noise. Some nice options include leather trim, a navigation system, and seats that can be heated or cooled. Despite these efforts, the Lucerne looks vaguely like an old Buick, and its performance on the road isn't particularly noteworthy.
Most owners of the 2007 Buick Lucerne seem to love its quiet and comfortable ride. The interior is spacious for five (six with an optional front bench seat) and the V8's power is definitely a big plus, taking the guesswork out of acceleration or merging. All agree it is comfortable for long trips. Complaints focus on poor gas mileage, bland styling inside and out, a tendency to shudder, and the need for an updated transmission.

Great place. A number of selections on tap and some hard to find brew selections. Can't go wrong if you like real beer. Bud and miller need not enter.
Lighthouse is a useful place at Wrightsville Beach, but it is a joke to call it a restaurant. I have shopped occasionally over the years wihout complaint, but food must be served in a "restaurant".
Trip Advisor should not allow this listing.
Friendly, knowledgable, helpful staff. Unbelievable selection. (No, really. You won't believe this place!) Superb location. Outdoor seating. No need to go anywhere else.
Only beer & wine store where you can drink at their outdoor patio area!! Really nice place, very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend you check this place out!
Best selection I have seen in my travels. Staff is very knowledgable and will make a recommendation when asked. This is a must stop when I travel to Wilmington. Nice feature is the micro's on tap that you are able to enjoy in the beer garden.
I just discovered this treasure! Wonderful atmosphere and selection of beer. Love it and will definitely be back.
Someone suggested that we stop by this place. Glad we did. Lots of different beers and wines to purchase and sample. You can also get a beer or glass of wine and sit outside to enjoy it. Very nice people. I found Hoppyum IPA from Foot Hills Brewery there. Now one of my favorites.

When I first read about the Skoll World Forum on Social Entrepreneurship two years ago, I was quickly drawn to its awesomeness. Never had I thought about the world's most distinguished social entrepreneurs deliberating on issues under one roof. The Forum has made this a reality. As a young person, my major point of interest was whether young people had an opportunity to take part in such a prestigious conference of more experienced individuals. Through my work with The MasterCard Foundation Youth Think Tank, it had become apparent to me that a lot of organizations are detached from young people and are unaware of the energy and fresh ideas they can contribute within the organization. My experience at the Skoll World Forum was different. Through the support of The MasterCard ...more

WHO? Blair Brettschneider, the executive director of the 501(c)(3) non-profit GirlForward.
WHAT? GirlForward is a Chicago-based organization that's empowering adolescent refugee girls to be strong, confident and independent.
HOW? Glad you asked.
It sounds very cheesy, but I really feel that this (work) chose me.
Her name was Domi. I became her tutor and then really evolved into a mentor. She was 18 years old at the time. She had been in Chicago for about two and a half years and her family was originally from Burundi. She'd grown up in a refugee camp in Tanzania.

This past year, I went to England to attend the Skoll World Forum. My experience at the Forum can be summed up as a rare, life changing experience. The first day I arrived, together with my fellow young leaders, we were taken around Oxford University. I couldn't have been inspired more as I saw the rooms where famous economists like Adam Smith studied and lived.
As though that was not enough, there I was, in one of the Forum workshops, when I looked to the right and saw a managing director of a very large, global organization I had never dreamt of ever meeting. To my left, I noticed more executives from organizations that I had been excited to know more about. They were all around me!
I quickly realized this was a serious place, where high profile people come to exchange ideas. This challenged me to embrace the fear and reality ...more
The best ideas are sometimes the oldest ones. They just take their time to mature. The concept of the common good, or the common weal in traditional parlance, is as old as the hills, as British as driving rain. And in economics, it is making a come back.
Today an extraordinary best-seller across continental Europe is published in English by Zed Books. 'Change Everything: creating an economy for the common good' written by Christian Felber has helped to encourage a rapidly spreading and international grass-roots movement, organized around the idea of returning business and economic life to the measuring stick of common good.
I have posted a longer blog this week on the patient emergence of ideas around an economy for the common good on the site of COVI, dubbed the first visual think tank.

It is so amazing to me that when we communicate, the words really 'come in third place.'
What's first and second? First is the tone. If we are abrasive, affrontive, sarcastic then it doesn't open up the conversation and action for change.
Calm, proactive, inclusive, even — "slow" — conversations help provide dynamic change.
It sounds as if it is an oxymoron. But allowing the participants to breathe in the interaction helps bring about the best and most inclusive solutions for all parties.
Second then is body language and what we communicate; third come the words.
You, me, the night building manager, the cleaners and homeless people all have something in common: We need to be nourished.
The other night, I was helping lead a Full Circle Fund meeting, which is working to provide economic opportunities for people across our world. It's a wonderful group, focused on providing financial support and volunteer time to help serve the community.
That evening, we had leftover sandwiches from dinner. While I usually take any leftovers from the meetings I attend to homeless people, I thought perhaps I would give myself a rest from it this evening. It was a huge tray I would have to balance, carrying my many bags as well. Yet ...more

Help Victims of Natural Disasters
Roll over image to zoom in
Natural disasters--such as the historic and devastating winter storms currently gripping the country--can strike without warning and without mercy.

Thanks to a caring community of people like you, the GreaterGood Network has raised more than a million dollars for disaster relief for survivors of blizzards, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, floods, and the like--both for the people and animals affected.
Survivors shouldn't have to wait while funds are being raised. Become a first-responder for survivors of natural disasters around the world.

CLEVELAND -- We're courtside to provide instant analysis from the Final Four's second semifinal, between North Carolina and Tennessee:
HOW THE GAME WAS WON: Candace Parker didn't have a great first half, playing just eight minutes before drawing her second foul. And even after the break, she didn't come out and immediately affect the game like we might have expected. At times, she even was visibly frustrated by North Carolina's defense, which took away her favorite move (faking right and going left-shoulder).
But the sophomore hit two key free throws to give Tennessee a little bit of a cushion when it was clinging to a one-point lead with 34 seconds to play. Parker also played well defensively and grabbed some huge rebounds in the last few minutes to lead the Lady Vols to a come-from-behind 56-50 victory over North Carolina on Sunday.
The Tar Heels had led by as many as 12 points with 8:18 to play, building the lead early in the second half by revving up their defense and converting steals and rebounds into high-percentage field goal attempts after both teams shot horribly in the first half.
But Tennessee turned the table and used the exact same tactics to chip away at UNC's lead. The Lady Vols, who shot 24 percent in the first half and just 27 percent for the game, finally started getting some steals and converting them into points. As usual, Tennessee's defense led the way. At halftime, the Lady Vols had just six points off turnovers, but they finished with 22.
Still, you can't help but think UNC gave away the game. In the final eight minutes, Tennessee converted five steals into eight points and hit six free throws while UNC committed eight turnovers. The Tar Heels ended up shooting 35 percent from the field.
It also hurt UNC when LaToya Pringle fouled out with 4:35 left and UNC clinging to a four-point lead, 48-44. At that point, UNC had to replace the starter with Jessica Breland, who has been solid this season but -- let's remember -- is just a freshman.
Tennessee also won the battle of the boards, 43-42, and finished with just 21 turnovers after committing 14 in the first half. After the break, the Lady Vols simply took better care of the ball, and they hit 20 of 26 at the foul line.
Alexis Hornbuckle had a huge game for Tennessee. As usual, her contributions don't always show up as points (she did have nine, but on 4-for-16 shooting), but the junior guard had two huge rebounds in the final 1:16. She also tallied eight rebounds and five steals.
But who would have thought Tennessee would win on a night when it had no offensive continuity and point guard Shannon Bobbitt dished just one assist in 31 minutes. In fact, the Lady Vols got just eight assists for the game (of course, they only hit 17 field goals!).
PLAYER OF THE GAME: Parker. She ended up with a double-double with 14 points and 13 rebounds. She had a presence both offensively and defensively.
BIG DISAPPOINTMENT: We said all along that UNC's Three L's -- Ivory Latta, Erlana Larkins and Camille Little -- had to play well. But they all struggled and combined to shoot 10-for-26 from the field, including Latta's 2-for-7 effort from downtown, and commit 11 turnovers.
Some people grumbled when Larkins was left off the Kodak All-America team, and this could have been a statement game for her. Instead, the junior had a nightmare game with four points and took only four shots in 33 minutes, which is ridiculous. I'm very surprised she wasn't more involved in North Carolina's offense. She was just a nonfactor in the game.
POOR WNBA AUDITION: Little, a senior, missed way too many layups. She was 4-for-9 from the field for nine points, one rebound and five turnovers.
STAT OF THE GAME: Carolina went to the foul line only eight times. In the regular season, the Heels attempted 817 free throws, 244 more than their opponents. When you're not shooting well, you have to get to the foul line.
BIG STEP-UP: Tennessee's Nicky Anosike finished with 14 points, almost double her 7.4 regular-season average. She was just 3-for-7 from the field but was 8-for-12 at the free-throw line, with seven rebounds, four blocks and three assists. But her defense was the big difference.
BIG EARLY STORY LINE: Who would have thought the team that played the best offense Sunday (at least through three halves) would be defensive-minded Rutgers?
Both Tennessee and North Carolina came out shooting horribly. North Carolina missed its first 13 shots before Latta broke the trend with a field goal with 13:10 left in the first half. Tennessee wasn't much better and, with seven minutes left in the half, was just 2-for-14.
At halftime, the Tar Heels were 9-of-32 (28 percent) from the field and the Lady Vols were 7-of-29 (24 percent). Entering the Final Four, UNC was shooting 47 percent from the field and Tennessee was right behind at 45 percent.
The poor shooting, especially several missed chippies by both team, turned the game -- very surprisingly -- into a defensive battle. These are two teams that typically can generate points even when the first option isn't working. With UNC averaging 84.6 ppg and Tennessee at 74.5 ppg, I can't remember two teams that usually shoot so well not knocking down these easy shots.
Foul trouble played a huge factor, as both teams' Kodak All-Americans had to exit early. Parker was whistled for a charge (her second foul) on UNC's Alex Miller with 12:28 to play. Then Latta picked up her third foul with 8:57 left, with the Tar Heels up 8-7. Parker was 1-for-4 from the field for four points in eight minutes. Latta was 1-for-3 for two points in 11 minutes.
UNC's most surprising stat of the half was that the Tar Heels had zero second-chance points despite averaging 17 offensive rebounds per game coming in. Tennessee also had no second-chance points.
BIG MISSED OPPORTUNITY: Little needed to assert herself and had a little more room to operate when Parker went out. You can't play passively in these type of games. Same goes for Larkins, who didn't use her counter moves and failed to score a point. At half, Latta, Larkins and Little combined for six points.
Offensive charges. Tennessee was whistled for three in the game's first 12 minutes. In addition to Parker, Anosike and Sidney Spencer also got called for a charge.
PLAYER OF THE HALF: Rashanda McCants isn't the second -- or third or even fourth -- option for UNC. But she hit 4 of 9 shots (more made field goals than any other UNC player) for a team-high nine points.
SMART PLAY OF THE HALF: When Tennessee coach Pat Summitt subbed Parker out with two fouls. UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell left Latta in when she drew her second foul and Latta went into the locker room with three.
STAT OF THE HALF: UNC's defense was doing its job and helped harass Tennessee into three shot-clock violations. The third was especially painful -- it came right after a Lady Vols timeout in the final 30 seconds.

Columbus Travel Guide, Ohio
Columbus is Ohio's state capital, as well as the state's biggest city, and is located near the center of Ohio. The city was established in 1812, assuming the function of being the capital in 1816. Columbus's economy is diversely based on technology, retail, insurance, education, and health care. In 2006, the city was ranked to be the 15th biggest city in the country, having 747,755 inhabitants, and was the 32nd biggest metropolitan area, the capital with the 3rd most in population in the United States, and the 4th biggest city of the Midwest.
When you are traveling to or from Columbus, you have a choice of several airports that you can arrive or depart from. The most popular airport is the Port Columbus International Airport, which is located on the eastern side of Columbus. This airport is the provider of services to many domestic destinations, as well as to a few international destinations. Another airport is the Rickenbacker International Airport, which is located in the southern part of Franklin County and has a big facility for cargo, as well as plays an important role for the Air National Guard of Ohio. The Bolton Field and OSU Don Scott Airport are also two other important general air facilities in the city's area.
There used to be a main train station in the downtown area of Columbus, which was called Union Station. The station was demolished in 1979, and now there is the Greater Columbus Convention Center standing in its place. This makes Columbus the second biggest metropolitan area that doesn't have passenger rail services in the United States. However, there are studies underway for reintroducing these services to the city through the project of Ohio Hub.
If you don't have a car to drive around while you are visiting Columbus, don't worry about being able to get where you want to go. The city maintains a municipal bus service that is widespread, which is commonly called the COTA (Central Ohio Transit Authority). Right now, the COTA only services the city with buses, but streetcar or light-rail services have been discussed many times during recent years. The COTA is the provider of about 50,000 weekday rides every year with 234 buses on 53 routes each day. This comes to a total of 562 square miles served with more than 4,000 stops, 380 shelters for the buses, and 26 facilities for park-and-ride. In 2005, they determined that they had 14.6 million riders, traveling 9.7 million miles.

Tottenham v Man Utd Odds: Back Robin Van Persie to score first
Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United clash at White Hart Lane on Sunday in what promises to be an absolute corker. Premier League leaders United will be gunning to extend their lead at the summit, while Spurs will be looking for the win that could propel them up to third in the table.
In-form United are simply on fire at the moment, having picked up 28 points from their last 10 games - a truly staggering statistic. In Robin Van Persie they have a striker who cannot stop scoring at the moment, with the former Arsenal skipper netting in nine of his last 10 games. This makes the Dutchman an attractive price at 4/1 to open the scoring on Sunday afternoon, while he can also be backed at 5/1 to bag at least a brace.
Meanwhile Spurs are also enjoying a fine run of form, with just one defeat in their last 13 games in all competitions. However, last Saturday?s disappointing goalless draw with QPR wasn't ideal preparation for the visit of United and could affect their confidence going into the crunch match.
Fergie's high flyers go into the game as the narrow 11/8 favourites with Paddy Power, while Spurs can be backed at 2/1 to do the double over their opponents for the first time ever in the Premier League - with the 1989/1990 season the last time they achieved this feat. Meanwhile, in what is likely to be a closely fought encounter, a draw could be the way to go at 23/10.
The previous Tottenham v Man Utd fixture saw Spurs stun United at Old Trafford back in September. Their thrilling 3-2 win was their first victory at United?s stomping ground for a staggering 23 years and they will use that result as inspiration to achieve another three points on Sunday. Gareth Bale scored on that occasion and the rapid winger can be backed at 9/4 to score again this weekend, while Jermain Defoe is priced at 9/5 to score his eleventh league goal of the campaign.
Spurs haven?t beaten United at home in the last 11 meetings at White Hart Lane, with the visitors winning on eight of those occasions. The Red Devils can be backed at 8/1 to come away with a 2-1 win, while they can be backed at 4/1 to win with three of four goals in the match, where as a 3-2 scoreline is available at a tempting 18/1 with PaddyPower.
On the other hand Tottenham?s recent good form will give them confidence of ending their poor home record against United, with the hosts priced at 17/2 to register a 2-1 win. Alternatively a high scoring draw such as 2-2 could prove to be a fruitful punt at 9/1.

"a home away from home!"
Misty Mountain B & B was the perfect, comfortable, welcoming place for our women's retreat. Attractively decorated, clean, all the amenities, and nestled into the woods; we were able to feel at home away from home. I loved the quiet back porch where you could welcome the morning sun, and watch birds flit through the trees. And the large fire pit provided the perfect place to relax at the end of the day, enjoying the warmth of the fire against the backdrop of a star-studded night sky. Being close to Natural Bridge and the Sky Lift was super! We loved hiking trails there. Thanks for making our stay wonderful!

"City Church Retreat"
Peace! The best way to describe Misty Mountain B&B; is peace. The quietness in the woods and the beauty of nature sang songs of praise into my soul. Enchanted by the blooming of the trees and seeing a woodpecker fly in the sky was breath-taking. The luxury of the soft sheets cuddling my weary body as I dozed off to sleep in a comfortable king bed gave me rest to face the next day. Walking the trail down from the Natural Bridge which is only about 15 minutes from the B&B; was awesome. The gathering room was quaint as we shared wonderful stories of our love for God. The fire pit was an added touch of warmth as we gathered around it in the evening to sing and praise the Lord. If you want to get away from the bustling noise of the city and relax; go to Misty Mountain B&B; and look for a time of peace!

"We Love this house !"
This was my groups 4th time to stay at "the house" and we absolutely love it. I have stayed in a lot of vacation rentals but this is the best by far. Mary has gone out of her way to make this a very comfortable place to stay. We had a 3 night retreat where we hiked, played cards, had devotions and danced at Hoedown Island on Saturday night. Oh yea and we ate really good too. I wouldn't change a thing !

"Four diamonds"
I had stayed at Mary Tackett's Kickstand B & B in Spring Valley, Ohio, so I knew I could count on a nice property for a good value, but I was amazed at just how nice, how well-outfitted and how pristine Misty Mountain is. Our group of 7 women had everything we needed and more. With all the pots, pans and dishes in Mary's kitchen, you could feed and serve a small army. Every bedroom is furnished with antiques and is well dressed with pillows, shams, nice throws and comforters. The kitchen table was larger than we needed; the round dining room table was perfect for playing cards. It was too cool to spend much time on the front porch, but it would be a wonderful place to sit, rock and watch the birds in warmer weather. We did fire up the firepit nearby for a few hours and we did venture into adjacent Muir Valley for
some good hiking.
Wireless worked well, television had all the stations we needed, lots and lots of towels. Next time, if we come in warmer weather, we'll be able to play pool (pool table is in the unheated garage) and take more hikes.

"Wonderful Week"
Our group of friends enjoyed this beautiful, comfortable house for a week. It is at the end of the road, right next to the nature preserve, beautiful views, and lots of hiking trails. We saw deer behind the house at night, and the stars were amazing especially from viewed from up the road a little ways (there is a yard light by the house for security). The 6 bedrooms were perfect for our group, and the 3 bathrooms worked out well. The bathroom on the first floor is in the middle of the house so everyone could use it during the day, and the person in the queen bedroom downstairs could use it at night.
There were plenty of towels, dishes, toilet paper, paper towels, soap, pots and pans, and anything else we needed.
Thanks so much Mary for your help and responses to all of our questions. We plan to return next year if possible.
I encourage anyone who wants to visit that area to stay there. It's so comfortable and a lot better than a hotel.

"Memorable time at Misty Mountain"
This was our annual summer girls trip and we could not have asked for a more wonderful place to stay.
The accomodations were much more than we expected and the hospitality of Mary and Ben was overwhelming!
The home in the woods was very cozy and clean and definitely stocked with everything and anything we were looking for.
All of us would highly recommend this location and accomodation to anyone looking for a "better than home" place deep in the woods.

"Wonderful, reasonable get-away house for large family!"
My extended family of 10 stayed at Misty Mountain to celebrate my mother's 60th birthday. It was perfect! Even with 10 people, we had room to spare and the rate was very reasonable for such a large group. The house was clean, beautifully decorated and well stocked (shampoo, soap, kitchen neccesities, etc.) It is a great place to get away and realx. There is hiking, literally in your backyard- or the natural bridge is a short drive away. Thanks, Mary!

"Awesome Getaway!"
If you love the Red River Gorge, and appreciate what this area of the county offers, then you should consider this house! Mary is a caring owner who graciously lets you rent her house and welcomes you to enjoy yourself. I rented cabins in previous years at the Gorge before I found Mary, and now I will never go back to the cabins. As a repeat visitor to Misty Mountain, I can truly say that I have found my second home in the Gorge!

"Perfect place for a getaway with the girls."
We were so excited to find this hidden gem near Natural Bridge State Park for our 10th scrapbooking retreat. All nine of us found there were many wonderful aspects to this home:
• Impeccable level of cleanliness.
• 6 bedrooms with 7 beds (one king size bed that was easy to share, and one room with two twin beds) made it luxurious sleeping for 8.
• Fully stocked kitchen.
• Plenty of tables (necessary when scrapbooking). We did bring a couple folding banquet tables that kept us from having to move heavy furniture.
• Great lighting (necessary when scrapbooking).
• Best hammock ever.
• Easy, pleasant booking experience.
• DirectTV provided music of any genre.
• Books and magazines were everywhere for when we needed a break.
• Breath-taking views a short hike away.
• Wildlife and nature at arm's reach. Easy access for those interested, but kept outside the house for the city folk.
• Well-appointed porch for watching the mist rise off the mountain & listening to the world wake up in the morning.
• 15 minutes to Natural Bridge State Park with Hoedown Island (a must do on the weekend), swimming pool, skylift and hiking trails.
• WiFi
• Local masseuse available for pampering.
We decided to cap it at eight scrapbookers for our return. Then everyone will have their own bed (except for sharing the king) as it's a little too familiar to bunk in a full size with someone. If you're looking for a home away from home, I can't recommend Misty Mountain enough.

This is the second time I have been to Misty Mountain B & B. I was just as impressed with the cleanliness and all the comforts of home this time as I was in October 2010 on my first visit. I love the fact it is a remote location away from all the craziness of every day life. You can just sit back and enjoy God's scenery from the front porch or from the 2 huge windows at the front of the house while you are sitting inside enjoying precious time spent with family and friends.

The public has gone mobile, and experts say the government should redouble its efforts to become mobile-friendly.
"There is so much innovation happening in the private sector around mobile, and the federal government is playing catch up," said Dave Lewan, vice president of public sector business at ForeSee, customer experience analytics company.
Overall, the federal government is still getting good ratings from citizens, according to the American E-Government Consumer Satisfaction Index, which gathered input from nearly 300,000 surveys in the second quarter. However, most websites' satisfaction ratings have remained flat for 11 of the last 12 quarters. E-government satisfaction has not varied more than a half point in that time.
If agencies make themselves accessible on multiple platforms, the government's e-government customer approval rates will only go up, Lewan said.
"The Digital Government initiative just may be the boost the public sector needs," he said.
The Obama administration is pushing a mobile government. In May, the Office of Management and Budget released the "Digital Government: Building a 21st Century Platform to Better Serve the American People" strategy. It requires agencies to convert two priority citizen services to a mobile platform in the next year.
"That's going to light the fire that will expand broadly," said Federal CIO Steven VanRoekel in May.
Citizens already interact with friends and family, companies and brands on multiple platforms. They will soon expect such interaction with Washington.
"The federal government needs to connect with its users on multiple platforms or risk alienating them," said Claes Fornell, founder of the American Consumer Satisfaction Index.
Measuring citizens' perception
Administration officials want agencies to know how the citizenry views their Internet presence. According to the Digital Strategy, agencies are also required to use analytics and customer satisfaction measurement tools on all ".gov" websites by this fall. The goal is to enable data-driven decisions on service performance. Most agencies currently do not have enterprise-wide performance measures to test the usability and success of their websites.
For customers' current insights, citizens are pleased with federal websites. Satisfaction with the websites climbed to a new all-time high of 75.6 on ACSI's 100-point scale. Citizen satisfaction with e-government is significantly higher than with the overall federal government. The overall government scored 66.9 in ACSI's 2011 report. The record high for e-government satisfaction set this quarter is just 0.3 points below the National ACSI score, which is the average of all private companies measured by the ACSI.
More than a third of federal websites measured in the E-Government Satisfaction Index scored 80 or higher, the threshold for superior performance. Three websites from Social Security Administration top the list: iClaim website, which earned a score of 92, Retirement Estimator website, which reached 90, and Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Costs, which also had a 90. Websites such as these are in the e-commerce/transactional category, which scores 78. News and information websites score 76 as a category, while portal/department main sites score 74.
"Improving the mobile experience may be the only way for e-government satisfaction to climb from its current plateau," said Larry Freed, president and CEO of ForeSee.
