Summary: Something's wrong with Sierra; she hasn't been her usual, hyperactive self lately. She refuses to talk about what's bothering her. There's only one person who can get her to open up. Cody/Sierra
Disclaimer: I don't own Total Drama. If I did, Total Drama Action would not exist.
Warning: Nothing too bad, aside from an emo and OOC Sierra. But the reason for that will be explained, don't worry.
EdEddnEddyFan5's Note: While this is not my first fan fiction (well, it is my first published fan fiction, but that's beside the point), this is my first attempt at writing hurt/comfort fan fiction. If I do a good job, then great. If not... Well, constructive criticism is always welcome. But please, keep it constructive. Trolls will not be fed here.
A hurt/comfort fan fiction by EdEddnEddyFan5
It was the morning after the Germany challenge, and the Total Drama World Tour jet was flying through the clouds, carrying the 12 remaining teenagers to their next exciting destination.
Down in the loser-class area, it was business as usual for teams Victory and Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot. DJ was sulking over his animal-murdering curse. Tyler and Lindsay, the former finally remembering who the latter was, were making out. Alejandro was thinking of how to further bend the other contestants to his will. Noah was immersed in one of his many books, while Owen was scarfing down a bowl of cheap, imitation-brand Frosted Flakes.
Yep, business as usual...
… Except for Izzy, who was not rambling her usual nonsensical stories about how she grafted deer antlers to her head or genetically spliced her neighbor's DNA with that of a kangaroo. Rather, she stared out the window with a frown, massaging her temples with her pointer and middle fingers.
Sensing his girlfriend's discomfort, Owen temporarily stopped his binge eating and nudged her. "Izzy?" he asked. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Owen," Izzy replied, not taking her eyes off the clouds. "It's just..." She paused and sighed.
"I can't shake the feeling that something's very wrong. It's as though there is a deep disturbance in the Force..."
Unbeknownst to Izzy, something was indeed wrong. Up in the winner's area, Team Amazon was enjoying their second morning in a row as challenge winners. Gwen and Courtney were enjoying a gourmet breakfast, while Cody was still sound asleep in the seat across from them. Seated away from the others, Heather and Sierra were discussing strategy for future challenges.
It was here that things were not right.
"So I was thinking," Heather said to her alliance member, pausing to take a bite of her omelet, "That we should focus our attention on teaming up with Lindsay and DJ. Team Victory is incredibly weak right now, so we can make them do anything we ask. With their help, we can crush Team Chris during the next challenge, and – Sierra?"
The obsessed fan girl wasn't paying attention to Heather's speech. In fact, she had been acting strange all morning; she was very quiet, she wasn't bouncing around – hell, she hadn't even made her usual attempt to molest Cody! She simply stared at the red carpet, a look of deep sadness in her eyes...
"Sierra?" Heather asked again, waving her hand in front of her alliance member's face. "Sierra? Sierra!"
"Huh?" Sierra's head jerked up, as though she was being snapped out of a trance. She looked over at Heather, and let out a heavy, sad sigh. "Oh, hey Heather."
"Have even heard a word I've said?"
"Sorry. It's just that..." Sierra paused, let out a sigh, and looked away. For a brief moment, Heather though she saw Sierra's eyes water. "It's nothing."
Before Heather had a chance to reply, the purple-haired girl got up and started to walk towards the door that led to the galley and cargo hold. "I... I need to be alone for awhile."
"Sierra-" Heather started, but it was too late; Sierra had already disappeared behind the steel door.
Heather chewed her bottom lip nervously. It was clear that something was bothering Sierra – you'd have to be as blind as Stevie Wonder not to see that. And as long as Sierra was like this, she would be of far less use to Heather. But compassion was a thing that the queen bee was not so familiar with, and as such, Heather was not the best candidate for helping Sierra with whatever was upsetting her.
Translation; Heather was going to need some help.
Heather crossed her arms and glared at the Goth girl and Counselor In Training, both of whom were laughing like they were at a Jeff Dunham show.
"What is so funny?" the raven-haired witch demanded to know.
"The idea of you caring about someone other than yourself..." Gwen managed to say, before she and Courtney burst out in another fit of laughter. To them, the very notion was hysterical; Heather - the queen of mean herself, caring about someone enough to ask Gwen and Courtney – two of her biggest rivals – to help her when said someone was upset? Ridiculous!
But when Heather's serious look didn't fade, the laughter slowly died down, and Gwen and Courtney looked at each other in shock.
"Oh my God, she's serious!" Courtney said in shock. The equally flabbergasted Gwen could only nod in response.
"Of course I'm serious!" Heather snapped, throwing her arms up in indignation. "Are you two gonna help me or what?"
Heather fixed her sights on Courtney, but the CIT was not up to it. "Don't look at me, I barely know the girl!"
Heather turned towards her other teammate. "Gwen?"
"Hey, I'm a Goth," Gwen replied, putting her hands up in defense. "I'm not exactly the best person to cheer someone up."
"Well, someone's got to talk to her! I-"
Heather was interrupted by a loud yawn. The three Amazons looked towards Cody, who had just woken up. He rubbed the sleepiness out of his eyes and smiled at his teammates.
"Good morning, ladies," he said with his signature grin. "How's... uh..."
Cody's grin faded when he saw Gwen, Courtney and Heather exchange glances, then focus on him, their lips curving up into triplet smirks. Cody felt nervous almost immediately, like a mouse cornered by three hungry-looking felines.
"Um... Why are you all looking at me like that?"
"Sierra!" the chestnut-haired tech geek called out, maneuvering through the stacks of boxes stored in the plane's cargo hold. Cody paused, half-expecting Sierra to come flying out of nowhere and slam into him with a bone-shattering glomp.
But this did not happen. Instead, Cody heard something that he hadn't expected; the sound of quiet sobbing.
"Sierra?" Cody called out again, peaking around a large stack of crates.
Cody was greeted with a sight that he never saw coming. Sierra, the always smiling, always happy fan girl that the Total Drama Family had come to know and love (or tolerate, in some cases) was sitting on an old crate, all alone, bawling her eyes out. Tears streamed down her cheeks like water from two faucets that had been turned on full blast.
Cody felt torn. Being his creepy stalker who knew more things about Cody than one should, Sierra was one of his least favorite contestants. But if there was one thing that Cody hated more than anything, it was seeing girls cry. Eventually, his instinct to comfort any females in pain won the mental battle.
"Sierra..." Cody said, stepping out from behind the boxes. Sierra looked up at him, and Cody received yet another shock; she was glaring at him.
"Oh, it's you," she sneered, her voice dripping with venom. For Cody, this whole experience was one big surprise after another.
"What's... Uh, what's wrong?" Cody asked, unnerved by the look Sierra was giving him.
The fan girl scoffed and looked away. "You should know."
"Uh... No, I don't know." Cody was genuinely unsure of what he had done to make Sierra so upset. "What?"
"Remember last night?"
It was the night of the Germany challenge. Most of the contestants had turned in for the night. All except for one, who decided to make a late-night confession.
"Ugh!" Cody groaned, sitting in the confessional bathroom. "I cannot believe Sierra today! Sticking her thumb in my mouth while I was sleeping, building a freakin' statue of me out of meat, and that song during the dancing part..." Cody shuddered at the memory. "God, I don't think I've ever been more embarrassed!
"When is that Annie Wilkes freak of a girl going to get it through her thick skull? I. DO. NOT LIKE HER! I never have liked her, and I never will like her! And the sooner she realizes that and gets out of my life, the better!"
And with that, Cody stormed out of the bathroom and marched back up to the winner's area. He failed to notice a person hiding in the shadows near the confessional bathroom. A person who wanted to make her own late-night confession, and noticed Cody going in before her. A person who, due to her obsession with Cody, couldn't resist pressing her ear up against the door and listening in.
"Oh..." Cody managed to say, overcome by a sudden feeling of guilt. "You... you heard that, huh?"
"Oh yeah," Sierra said, turning to glare at Cody again. "I heard every word. 'Annie Wilkes freak'. I have to give you credit; I've never heard that one before."
Sierra closed her eyes and let out a long sigh. When she opened them again, the anger was gone, replaced by the same deep sadness Heather had noticed earlier.
"But, I suppose I can't blame you for being mad at me. This is that story of my love life, after all. Bobby Mathias in kindergarten, Jimmy Korshman in third grade, Kyle Broski in fifth grade, Derek Nerman in eighth grade... All the same! I liked all of them, but I was always to scared to admit it. So I always followed them around, learned everything there was to know about them, thinking that it would help me express my feelings... And every time, it backfired in my face!"
A fresh set of tears escaped from Sierra's eyes. "Oh, you were right, Cody! You, Bobby, Jimmy, Kyle, Derek, all of you were right! I'm nothing but a stalker, Annie Wilkes freak!"
As Sierra broke down sobbing again, Cody felt another wave of guilt wash over him. It slammed into him harder than the wave that capsized the Poseidon. For the first time, Cody saw past Sierra's obsessive, stalker shell, and saw the sweet yet insecure girl hidden beneath.
As stated earlier, this whole morning had been full of surprises for Cody. Now, it was Sierra's turn to be surprised; Cody walked up to her, sat down on the crate next to her, and hugged her.
"Sierra..." he said to the stunned girl. "I'm... I'm sorry.
"I realize now what a jerk I've been. I thought you were just some psycho fan girl, but now I see that you're much more than that. You're a sweet, caring girl... who's just a little insecure when it comes to expressing your feelings, and that causes you to be a little forward with the guys you like. But hey, we all have our flaws."
Sierra sniffled, and Cody used his pointer finger to gently wipe away her tears. "I'm really sorry for the way I've treated you, and I'd really like to give you a chance. If..." Cody looked down in shame. "If you could ever forgive a big jackass like me."
Sierra stared deep into Cody's eyes. Then, for the first time all morning...
She smiled.
"Oh, Cody!" she said, wrapping her arms around the tech geek. "Of course I forgive you!"
With that, Sierra tilted her head forward and pressed her lips against his. Cody was shocked at first, but it only took seconds for him to embrace Sierra's show of affection, and return the kiss.
Whew! (wipes sweat from brow) Well, I had to stay up until 2:30 in the morning, and my ass is sore, but hopefully it was worth it! Let me know what you think!

Movie Marketing Madness: Punisher – War Zone
Nothing like the third time to the well, right? The Punisher is a comic book character that has not had an easy time translating from the page to the screen. Originally portrayed by Dolph Lundgren in 1989, the movie was alright but didn't do a great job at actually telling any sort of interesting story.… Continue reading Movie Marketing Madness: Punisher – War Zone

Melbourne, May 12 (ANI): A Northern Territory Government agency has apologised after a blogger here caught it out paying for a sponsored Google link to the racial slur "Abo".ill Tuesday afternoon, if an internet user typed "Abo" into Google, a sponsored Tourism NT advertisement popped up. It even used the word as the headline for its ad.
Underneath "Abo" it said: "An experience you will never forget. Experience Aboriginal culture in NT".
The ad linked to the Travel NT website, run by Tourism NT.
It was first spotted by blogger Brett Nicholson, of Melbourne agency Next Digital, on Monday.
"I came across this by accident when misspelling an acronym and I was quite shocked," he wrote in his blog.
"Not only have Tourism NT approved - and are bidding on - a racially offensive keyword, they are actually including the word 'abo' in an advertisement."
According to The Courier Mail, Tourism NT released a three-sentence statement, which said it had alerted its online search provider and the link had been taken down.
Spokeswoman Carmel Nola, when pressed for more information, said they were still investigating. (ANI)

RUSSELL Brand will have a few more shekels in his bank accounts for yoga legwarmers soon.
The comedian's chat show Brand X is being commissioned for a second series.
Execs at the FX channel have revealed that they are giving him another seven episodes of the programme to air in the autumn.
The deal is rumoured to be worth around £125,000 – more than enough to keep a bloke in wheatgrass shots for a few weeks.
A source said: "Russell's had a tough time of it in recent months but TV audiences still like watching him in the US.
"He had already announced that he wanted to focus on comedy instead of films, so this will have come as welcome news to him."
It might be bad news for any other blokes trying to pull at his yoga classes. He's got that sewn up.

In case you cannot access the link
Four people have reportedly been shot dead during a killing spree by a lone gunman at a shopping arcade in Finland.
Emergency services outside the Sello mall in Espoo, Finland
Ambulances have been called to the scene at the Sello centre in the city of Espoo near the capital, Helsinki.
National broadcaster YLE said four people had been killed - three men and a woman.
Police told the station that the gunman had been born in 1966 and had a criminal record.
They also said he used a 9mm handgun - and has not yet been arrested.
An employee was apparently seen lying on the floor in the upper level of one of the centre's grocery shops.
The STT agency reported that one of the victims had been shot twice in the head.
Eyewitnesses said they had seen a man dressed in black walking through the centre shooting random victims.
Parts of the shopping centre have now been evacuated.
The shots reportedly began around 10.20am local time.
VR State Railways confirmed to YLE that trains were not stopping at the nearby Leppävaara station.
A blogger called Luotio, sending Twitter messages, said police were searching cars in the shopping centre's car park.
He said: "Situation at Sello seems calm except a few running camera men. Police and ambulances are still present."
Espoo is near Helsinki
Finland, a nation of 5.3 million, has 1.6 million firearms in private hands and ranks among the top five nations in the world in civilian gun ownership.
In September 2008, a lone gunman killed nine fellow students and a teacher at a vocational college before shooting himself in the western town of Kauhajoki.
The previous November, an 18-year-old student fatally shot eight people and himself at a high school in southern Finland.
Both young men fired guns in YouTube clips posted before the shootings, shot themselves in the head and used .22-calibre handguns bought from the same shop.

Inevitably the guys that do this end up shooting themselves when they figure it's all over anyway. How much better would it be if an armed citizen could end the fight before the crazy guy with the gun thinks he's finished?
Time after time, we see these things happen and it's always in a place where the victims have been disarmed through legal or administrative means. What a shame.

Finnish shopping centre gunman slaughters five - including ex-wife - before 'turning gun on himself'By Mail Foreign Service
Last updated at 2:30 PM on 31st December 2009
Comments (47) Add to My Stories Ibrahim Shkupolli is on the run following this morning's attack. He may have since turned the gun on himself
A gunman killed his ex-wife before shooting dead four people at a Finnish shopping centre, before allegedly turning the gun on himself.
At least seven shots were fired at the Sello shopping centre in the town of Espoo, close to the capital Helsinki.
Four people - three men and a women - were killed in the attack, which began at about 8.30am this morning.
A witness claimed the gunman, dressed in black, opened fire on the second floor of the complex.
Another described how one victim was shot twice in the head.
The gunman - identified as 43-year-old Ibrahim Shkupolli - then left the scene.
When police searched a flat linked to the man, they found a body believed to be his ex-wife.
Shkupolli used a 9-millimeter caliber hand gun for the killings.
A sixth body linked to the shooting was discovered in the home of the suspect, and police believe this is the perpetrator.

The ex-girlfriend, a Finnish woman born in 1967, also worked at the mall and had taken out a restraining order against Shkupolli, police said.
Witnesses said panic erupted at the mall, one of the Nordic region's largest, when the shots rang out.
Hundreds of mall workers were evacuated to a nearby library and firehouse, trains were halted and helicopters brought in as police launched a manhunt for the heavily armed killer.
After several hours, a body was found in Shkupolli's home, which police believed to be the killer himself. Police refused to confirm the exact identity immediately, but said the cause of the death appeared to be suicide.
Police refused to discuss Shkupolli's nationality, but Finnish media reported he was an ethnic Albanian from Kosovo.
At a news conference, police officials refused to say whether the four killed at the mall had been targeted by Shkupolli.
The mid-morning slayings shocked hundreds of people who had gone shopping early on New Year's Eve.
One witness told the state broadcaster YLE that a gunman dressed in black began randomly shooting at people on the second floor of the mall.
'There were loads of people who were crying, and many vendors who were completely panicked,' the unnamed witness said.
Another female witness told YLE radio news she saw the suspect carrying a long-barrelled pistol and rushing past the cashier line at Sello's Prisma supermarket, where the slayings took place.

A witness who saw the attack told YLE he saw one worker lying on the floor covered in blood.
YLE said shots were fired at about 10:20am (08:20 GMT) and parts of the mall were evacuated. The newspaper Ilta-Sanomat said on its website at least seven shots were fired, but it gave no source for the information.
Another witness who was in the centre at the time told Finnish radio that a panic ensued as the shooting began. 'There were loads of people who were crying, and many vendors who were completely panicked.
'It seems like they hadn't caught the one who shot. No one seemed to know what had happened.'
Inside the Sello shopping centre in Espoo, Finland, where the shooting took place (file picture)
The Sello shopping centre describes itself as one of the Nordic region's largest with more than 170 shops. It opened in 2005.
Espoo, home of the Nokia phone company, is Finland's second largest city.
In the last two years there have been massacres by lone gunmen in the country.
This is the third public shooting in as many years, and Finland tightened gun control regulations after school shootings in 2007 and 2008.
In the town of Kauhajoki in September of last year Matti Saari killed ten people at his vocational college and then set their bodies alight. He had posted warnings of his rampage on the internet.
In November, 2007, 18-year-old Pekka-Eric Auvinen, killed eight people and himself at a school in Jokela.
Finland has deep-rooted hunting traditions and ranks - along with the United States - among the top five nations in the world in civilian gun ownership.
The country has 1.6 million firearms in private hands - with a population of 5.3 million.
Politicians, social workers and religious leaders have urged tighter gun laws, more vigilance of Internet sites, and more social bonding in the small Nordic nation, known for its high suicide rates, heavy drinking and domestic violence.

Nepal government meets sherpas' demands after deadly avalanche
By Gopal Sharma and John Chalmers
KATHMANDU (Reuters) - Nepal's government agreed on Tuesday to compensation demands for Mount Everest sherpas, after the single deadliest avalanche on the world's highest mountain killed at least 13 guides.
Expedition leaders said tension was running high at Everest base camp after last Friday's incident, which has rekindled debate on the disproportionate risks that sherpas take helping foreign mountaineers reach the 8,850-metre summit.
Ang Tshering Sherpa, president of the Nepal Mountaineering Association, told Reuters that although some sherpas had proposed suspending work for the rest of this climbing season, they had now agreed to resume expeditions on Saturday.
However, an American climber at base camp said the sherpas had voted to head down and were packing up.
"The ice doctors who set the routes say the current route is too dangerous and there are no alternative routes," said Ed Marzec in an email passed on by a colleague, Daniel Beer, who is overseeing communications for him.
"In addition, the famous Lama Geshe told his people that they should not go to the summit because more will die," Marzec added, referring to the revered Buddhist guru who gives his blessing to Everest climbers.
Several expeditions have already been called off, including a Discovery Channel climb to launch a stunt man from the summit in a wing suit.
The government said the minimum insurance cover for sherpas on Everest would be raised by 50 percent to about $15,000 and it would establish a relief fund for the welfare of bereaved families and also pay for the education of their children. Continued...

Dr. Margaret Flowers applauds the District of Columbia for rejecting the proposed merger of BGE parent company Exelon and Pepco Holdings.
"This merger would have raised utility rates for people in Baltimore and DC and prevented moves to renewable sources," said Flowers. "Local activists rightly pointed out that Exelon needed the merger to bail out its failing nuclear power plants. This is a victory for the people and the environment."
Flowers opposed the merger. She signed a petition urging the mayor to reject the most recent deal made between the Public Service Commission and Exelon.
"Even if this deal weren't harmful for consumers," Flowers said, "consolidation of utilities into bigger monopolies is the wrong approach. We need to transition rapidly to decentralized renewable energy. Every home, every business, and every school should be producing, benefiting from and controlling its own energy."
Flowers calls for a rapid transition to 100% renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and geothermal. Flowers notes that nuclear and 'waste-to-energy' incineration - such as the project being pushed onto the community of Curtis Bay in Baltimore - are extractive and environmentally-destructive and should not be considered renewable energy sources.
"A 100% renewable energy program would create hundreds of thousands of new green collar jobs and put communities in control of their own power production," said Flowers. "People are suffering at the hands of private power monopolies. Water and power utilities should be municipally-owned at a minimum and locally-owned when possible."
"We need to ban the extraction minerals or energy sources such as oil, gas or uranium," said Flowers. "This is vital to protect the integrity of our air, water and food systems."
Dr. Margaret Flowers is seeking the Green Party's nomination for U.S. Senate in Maryland. The Green Party's primary election process begins in early April and will conclude on May 1st.

Peter Lundgren has resigned as Britain's Davis Cup coach. He will be replaced by the Lawn Tennis Association's men's head coach, Paul Annacone.
Lundgren, a former coach to Roger Federer and Marat Safin, was reported to have slurred his words while speaking to fellow coaches at the LTA's Roehampton headquarters the weekend before the 2007 Wimbledon championships.
The LTA's head of men's tennis, Paul Hutchins, refused to confirm exactly what had happened, but said Lundgren would be taking a leave of absence for around a month for "personal reasons".
Great Britain's opponents in September's World Group play-offs will be announced on 16 April.
Serena Williams made the world No 1 Justine Henin look like a novice yesterday with a stunning 6-2, 6-0 victory to reach the semi-finals of the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami. Williams barely put a foot wrong and won the last nine games to set up a last-four meeting with Russia's Svetlana Kuznetsova, who beat Serena's sister, Venus, 6-4, 6-4 in another quarter-final.
Henin, who came into the match with a 15-2 record for the year, looked flat-footed against Williams' power. Asked if she had expected to win so easily, Williams said: "Not over the No 1 player in the world who was clearly in the best form last year. Everything worked well for me. I'm feeling better and I'm keeping working hard. Being aggressive works."
On the men's side, Federer is on course for a first title of 2008. The Swiss top seed beat the unseeded Jose Acasuso of Argentina, 7-6, 6-2 to move into the quarter-finals. The world No 2, Rafael Nadal, beat Paul-Henri Mathieu of France 6-4, 6-4.

Everything We called the hotel for directions from the road. Had they told us that they were the only modern looking hotel on the mountain , right after you pass through the main square and that it had a glass front on the right not the left we would have saved over an hour trying to find the place.
Beautiful, tastefully appointed hotel. Ultra modern accommodations in a Sicillian village that blossoms with antiquity. The restaurant is fine, but visitors are in the center of a town where one cannot find a bad meal; only, as Rick Steves phrases it, better.
Chic hotel with very friendly staff ( something that Italian/Scilian hotel staff are not noted for ) Nothing was too much trouble, not only for us but for all guests some of which were very demanding.
The hotel is brand new. Rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff is really helpful. If one arrives by car, it is advisable to book a parking place in advance.
The staff were very helpful and friendly The food was very expensive. "Ceasar's Salad" comprising Lettuce ,sauce and a few croutons was €17.A very high standard of food was available in any of the restaurants locally for half the price. The Hotel lacked athmosphere as there were only a handful of people staying there the week we were there.
Very modern and stylish hotel, nice location, in walking distance to pedestrian zone Very small rooms
Very comfortable, delightful staff, close to shops and sights. I am returning for a night at the end of the month. I liked everything
Superb hotel overall .Great location .Spotlessly clean. Very friendly and helpful staff, Great breakfast freshly cooked to your requirements.. Size of the balconies.
Well-designed boutique hotel, friendly and helpful staff. Restaurant is an undiscovered jewel. Self-parking facility is non-existent at the hotel. Parking in the garage is expensive.
Great staff, relaxing pool, area lovely breakfast & dining area easy walk to the centre None
The most beautiful view ever, poolside fabulous, great service, and helpful staff. Walking distance to sites and shopping. Hope to return. Request ocean view and terrace. Great food (breakfast and lunch til 4 pm poolside). Parking available and assisted by staff.
The views were breathtaking and the staff were lovely. Couldnt do enough. Bedrooms a little dated Could upgrade the rooms in keeping with the stunning location
Very comfortable, relaxing atmosphere. Staff were friendly and helpful. Wonderful views and fabulous gardens. Good location 5 mins walk to town centre.
Great hotel with beautiful landscaping and pool setting. Staff were very friendly and effiicient and took care of the parking for us. Wonderful breakfast...one of the best on our 3 week trip thru out Sicily. Booked the standard room but would highly recommend upgrading to one with a terrace and balcony (worth the extra euros). I loved this hotel!!! Standard room a little dated compared to the rest of the hotel which was marvelous.
the staff attitude -
The room was good, a little old but quaint. It was clean and quite large. The hotel is also old but typical of Taormina. The staff were very polite and helpful. It was quiet and the view from my room beautiful. Breakfast was also very good and the view from the restaurant is of Naxos and Etna. I think it just needs some TLC
It was very centrally located within Taormina enabling easy access to various bars and restaurants. It also offered superb panoramic views of the sea and mt Etna. Staff were very firndly and helpful. Out dated decor of rooms and reception/ lounge area of hotel
We had a great view from our room that was wonderful to see each morning.
Location! I'd say is not a 4 stars hotel as advertised!
not a thing everything,the rooms were dirty dust everywhere, windows were filthy,dont think they had ever been used, excuse for an air conditioning unit that was full of bug and germ bearing dust, bathroom was awful the whole place had a seady air about it and I would not put my dog in it if it were a kennal
The hotel has a pleasant home-like feeling and an excellent location. At breakfast time one can enjoy the view of Mt.Etna from the rooftop terrace. Around the corner are the Public Gardens (Giardino Pubblico), very convenient for a walk in the well tended park, and again with view of Mt.Etna and the sea. At the same time only a few minutes walk away from the main corso. English speakers are well served at the front desk. We were very happy with our choice of accommodation!
The staff were polite and the breakfast was pretty decent. The views from the hotel of Etna and the sea were stunning. This should not be a four star hotel. We paid extra for a 'suite' but arrived to find a small room with a large balcony with a glass ceiling (sun bathing in a green house) - very basic (no mini bar, sky sport TV etc..) The website states beach & pool facilities are at the "Paradise Beach Club in Letojanni at about 10 minutes distance from the hotel". This is a lie. The beach is about 25 minutes by car alone!! If you dont drive then you can get the free hotel minibus. We did this three times and each time it arrived about 20/30 minutes late to collect us. From leaving our room to getting to the hotel pool took about 1 hour!! Avoid this hotel.
We stayed in junior suit with a perfect view of Etna and sea; the terrace was perfect..
very old bed. small bathroom
the views having a film being made in the hotel during our stay. no thought about health and safety
The hotel was quite beautiful and well located. The breakfast on the terrace with the beautiful view was a delight. We were located in the annex which we would not have taken if we realized it. Although the room was nice, we felt isolated.
Quality of the public rooms No
The facilities, the view and the location
The whole atmosphere in the hotel, with all the history and kind staff
We were not satisfied with our original room in the annex,but were upgraded to a suite in the main building with a wonderful view as soon as the staff realized our unhappiness.
It was a wonderful experience to stay this hotel. Sprendid view..... Very difficult to get the hotel by car.
luxury and intimate
the view, the swiming pool and the excellent breakfast italian staff never very dynamic
The accommodations were first rate. The view from our balcony of the sea and of Mt. Etna was breathtaking. I loved the proximity of the hotel to the Taormina shopping area. I am already planning my return trip to the Grand Hotel Timeo. We ended up staying in a Junior Suite rather than the Double Deluxe Room. The signs in Taormina to the Grand Hotel Timeo could be better. It was hard for us to find the hotel entrance and the parking area.
Extremely friendly and helpful staff and marvelous buffet breakfast. so lovely garden.
This hotel exceeded all my expectations. The family and their staff were all welcoming, helpful and efficient. Our room was charming, comfortable and spacious and the bathroom immaculate, with an excellent shower.
Wonderful views from our window.Good breakfasts. Shower was very small and would be too tight for anyone who is rather fat. There is no lift so light luggage and physical fitness are important for all as there are no ground floor rooms.
Lovely. Nice setting, convenient, nice room & breakfast.
The hotel was reasonably placed for access to most parts of Taormina The distance one had to go to collect the car from the car park with which the hotel had an arrangement - over 10 minutes down a steep and busy road with little concession to pedestrians which, given the propensity for Italian drivers to use all of the road and any pavement area not separated by a curb made things somewhat dangerous!
really good continetal breakfast, good location - close to town centre, bus station and cable cars to the beach, friendly and helpful staff no lift - 4th floor
Location, character and view from room Breakfast orange juice and having to carry cases up two flights of stairs
Location very convenient for walking into Taormina centre and nearby places of interest. Lovely terrace and breakfast area. 4 flights of stairs to have a sea view, but hotel had informed us before hand that no lift and soon got used to the climb!
Welcoming staff, lovely location, lovely scent, very clean, relazing environment, beautiful design, great value for money No :)
The staff were very friendly and helpful and spoke a number of different languages. The room was well furnished, with wi-fi, and had a terrace, although not a view. Convenient to town, but didnt have to deal with congested roads and easy to park nearby. The breakfast was freshly prepared and generous, in a nice room with a view. The room was noisy from those above and beside us and we could hear them walking and talking and moving furniture very distinctly, not to mention all the water in the pipes from their rooms. Try to get a room on the upper floors, which would also have a view.
Except for the mini shower, superb *** hotel. Excellent breakfast. Very affordable wines available. When a German gentleman exercises his skills (?) on the piano for more than two hours.
The location of the hotel. a lot of steps to reach the room.
beautiful view little parking but understandable
The character of the place and the staff I could not criticise this hotel
very relaxed no
The feel of the hotel - very Sicilian. Views idyllic. Staff friendly and helpful
Views of Mt Etna in the morning were great
We enjoyed the lovely views and gardens all around the hotel. The small number of staff were friendly and helpful and happy to bring drinks of any description to our terrace or out in the gardens. We had a very pleasant 3 day stay at Bel Soggiorno.
The warm welcome and helpful staff made the stay an amazing one. Let alone the breathtaking view of the bay.
Excellent location, beautiful panorama, fantastic breakfast served at the terrace, nice and clean room. some traffic noise
This was a wonderful, small boutique hotel in a magical location which exceeded our expectations . The location is secluded enough from the bustling crowds but close to all of the main attractions of the wonderful Taormina .It has recently been refurbished so everything is new but very well done. Our room was large and very tastefully decorated. with a large balcony with a breathtaking view of the ocean and the hotel nice garden . We spent much of our time on the balcony with a bottle of wine relaxing on the comfortable outdoor furniture enjoying the view. The bathroom was decked out in marble with unique toiletries , robes and slippers ... in other words, we felt the character and chic style , very Italian. The colors they chose are so airy and the room is delightfully spacious . The buffet breakfast was a massive spread of European elegance, not a tacky American buffet- and you were also able to order items from a menu in addition (included in the price), such as crepes... the wait staff was just perfect .In fact the entire time of our stay, we had nothing but an excellent staff- they have mastered when to approach you and when to leave you be- very flawless service in a friendly way, not snooty at all. Taormina is great and staying at this hotel made it even better!
Everything about Hotel Villa Carlotta is beautiful- location, design, ambience and the views are lovely. i have to highly recommend the staff who are second to none and make your whole stay a pleasure from beginning to end. I was unwell while staying there and they were extemely kind and helpful. It was all good.
location/ view and design; very friendly & useful staff
Staff very friendly and helpful - suite was spacious and upstairs bar and restaurant very really good
Staff was excellent. The breakfast was delicious!! Our foom was more than I expected!
Very homely hotel with helpful staff. Nothing
Fantastic luxury elegant hotel, beautiful cosy room overlooking the ocean, super roof top terrace where a royal breakfast is served, very nice garden & pool area and extremely professional and attentive staff, they cater a great hotel service. We will be back.
We truly enjoyed our stay
Location, helpfulness of staff, breakfasts, views - just about everything. A tad expensive, but worth every penny !!
Breakfast on the terrace was really amazing.Both food & location... It was not so close to the Center around 10 minutes walk..
The staff. Plus the city of Taormina.
Staff very good and polite. Room good and value for money off season. Breakfast adequate
We arrived at 9pm where the hotel staff were alert and welcoming. Hotel is beautiful and in a good location just off the main shopping street Corso Umberto I with its own private lime tree garden. Very clean and fresh room with modern fixtures and fittings. Breakfast was delightful with very nice croissants. Would recommend room with balcony. Walls were quite thin could hear people in the next room talking.
Staff were very friendly and the location was excellent. Rooms were very clean. Just a short cable car ride from the beach. Hotel was quite expensive although it seems all of Taormina is expensive. The roof-top pool is much smaller than in the photos and was quite dirty.
This hotel is recommended. The location is great and the garden is very nice. The breakfast could be improved. We ask for an advice regarding nearest beaches, and one of the staff recommended us on a specific beach and called for a pick up... we waited for 45 minutes for a van with which, finally, had no room for us. It was very dissapointing and the staff memebr didn't reach well to our compalin.
Staff were friendly and accommodating to requests. Location excellent in Taormina.
Fantastic location, courteous staff and great room - hotel is set back of main street so quiet but near enough for all attractions etc The pool is a lot smaller than it looks in their pictures, but this is a minor issue as beach not too far
Amazing little rooftop swimming pool, really friendly and helpful staff, very stylish decor and great location. A real gem of a hotel
in the heart of taormina/clean/modern/wonderful large showers small dogs yelping in hallways
The breakfast was good value with alot of choices. The staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. The hotel was near the main shopping street which was very convenient and near good cafes and restaurants.
The view is impecable, the rooms decent and the staff very friendly The fact that one has a 180 step trip down to the pool
Having only the website to assist us in making our decision we were disappointed when we finally arrived at the hotel. What was surely a very impressive hotel at one stage we found to be rather dated and not as comfortable as we had been led to believe.
The view was excellant of the sea. The staff helpful. Great breakfast. I had twin beds and they were extremely small.
Beatiful location, one of the best breakfasts, beautiful views...a wonderful place. A bit expensive
The view is beautiful. Car parking available. Paper thin walls - could hear everything from adjacent rooms and corridor. Beds like concrete. Bathroom dated - flushing mechanism extremely loud. Claim to have bar which consists of some glasses on a table by the dining room - never saw it manned...
very good location (vis a vis Interbus station). The room was clean, air conditioning was working well. The hotel has a nice, clean pool (15-20m long) with seats and umbrellas. Breakfast was also good (bufet). our room was overlooking the parking, not the sea..
The view is great. It is close to funicular, although a bit far from town center. All the employees are very helpful. Parking place is great advantage if you have a car. The room furniture and bathroom needs to be renovated. The view of balcony is great, but needs some more stylish and comfortable furniture.
This was our second trip.How different! The pool was roped off.The Sunbathing area and loungers were filthy,and after 200steps Down to the pool the Bar and Snack area was closed.The Air con in our room was not operating and the only shower was hand held.The place was almost empty.
A comfortable hotel just outside the town with wonderful views out to sea but on the wrong side of the town to see Etna. Expensive in high season. Pool is over 180 steps downhill and only accessible to the very fit as the climb in high temperatures is strenuous. This information is not given in the details. It closes at 17.30. The restaurant was very lifeless.
The Pool & the view if we'd had one Wet bath towels on arrival, hairdrier fell apart, airconditioning broke down, not very helpfull staff, no food or drinks available though day, poor value for a 4* hotel.
the view air con did not work,just fobbed us of when we informed them.bed linen clean but smelt stale
room did not even have toilet paper in the bathroom, air conditioning sounds as if its about to die of asthma
Wonderful furniture, furnishings, fantastic view and a bookshelf full of English books just placed casually in the corridor. Very helpful staff, on hand to help
Beautiful hotel and views Staff a little disinterested
Absolutely nothing. It was difficult to get there by car, They had no internet, no credit card facilities, no powerpoints in the room, decor was old and gloomy.
Location impressive and internal decor whilst not everyones taste was baroque retro which I quite liked . Pool ambience and view good . Lack of a bar at pool a wasted opportunity . Waiter service at pool sporadic and quite expensive plus food menu limited or on request not available . Staff quite friendly but an imposing old guy with sun glasses who stalked around created an 'atmosphere' and was as friendly as rabies in a guide dog home . Better if he wasn't there.
Unfortunately we liked nothing about our stay at this hotel The hotel is totally outdated. It appears to be living on past glories. While we did not expect sea views, since we did not select this option, the room we were assigned was very poorly finished and consisted partly of a poorly constructed extension to the main building looking out on a rock face. The hotel had great potential to preserve its former heritage but it looked bleak and drab as if no improvements were made in many years. We left after one night of a planned three night stay. The receptionist did offer us another room if we wished to stay but unfortunately the damage was done and we could not shake off our feeling of discontent
The hotel building was really beautiful. If new management took it over, it could be an amazing property. As it is, I felt like they were charging as much money as they could while providing as little services as cheaply as possible. The services were non-existent. No restaurant, difficult to find anyone in the breakfast room to even get coffee, of three people at the front desk one was quite helpful, one ambivalent and one was breathtakingly rude
Our room was good but initially we were put into a room which which was not acceptable. We were moved to the class of room we had booked. The hotel is not of 4 star quality. Many features of the hotel are poor. Much of the furniture is broken or damaged. Many facilities are very out-of-date. Above all, the management of the hotel is poor.
Rooms needs updating. Great breakfast with amazing views from hotel. Very good value. Great pool. Very helpful staff.would recommend 4th floor needs updating

There are two approaches that you can take to avoid activities, but really only one good one. 1. Change LinearLayoutKeyboardDetect to FrameLayoutKeyboardDetect. This would cause any view to be overlayed over the other view. You can then overlay the ImageView over the WebView then either remove the view or set the visibility on the view. I had to do this when working on an Android Ad SDK 2. Use the AbsoluteLayout properties of the WebView to put the ImageView on the WebView itself. Don't do this. I understand the business requirement for Splash Screens since there's branding that companies want on that page. Back when we directly hooked up Java objects to the WebView, I thought it was extremely stupid because we loaded so fast. These days, I think there's more value. But I'm pretty much repeating what everyone eles has said.

|3,100 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
Welcome to our home in Lake Placid, Florida, located in Highlands County, 100 miles south of Orlando on US 27, 100 miles southeast of Tampa and 100 miles northwest of West Palm Beach, Lake Placid is 'in the center of everything while in the middle of nowhere.' Known as the 'Caladium Capital of the World', Lake Placid is a small town with friendly people in the middle of Florida, safe from crime and the fast pace of the typical Florida big city.
Our spacious home is located on Lake Clay, a large, sandy bottomlake with clear, clean water ideal for fishing and water sports. On a private, dead-end street, our 3300 square foot, beautifully furnished one-story, 2 bedroom, 2 bath home is situated on two sprawling lakefront lots with 202 ft. of beautifully landscaped lakefront. Enjoy a beautiful view of the lake from every room in the house. Perfectly located, you can actually walk to Publix, restaurants, etc.
It's perfect for relaxing or entertaining, with a screened 8' x 20' porch with seating for 10 people overlooking the lake, an oversized dock, large entertainment deck, and a strip of sandy beach. Our dock will accommodate jet skis/boats. And pets are welcome, if they are house-trained.
Keywords: lakefront house, lakefront home, great fishing, dock
We have owned this property for over 12 years and our guests have felt at home when they visit. We accommodate your needs to make you comfortable.
John DiPaolo purchased this house in 2004
We chose Lake Placid because is a small, friendly town perfect for getting away from the city. The lakes are beautiful and it's the perfect place to bring kids and friends for a weekend of fun on the lake. Lake Clay is perfect for boating, jet skiing, tubing, and fishing because it is big but not SO big that the water is choppy.
Our house is at the end of the lake on a dead-end street and totally private. We are on two lakefront lots and the front and back yard are huge, perfect for letting your pet run around. Our location is ideal because we are feet away from US 27 in the center of town, walking distance to Publix and other shopping.
Beautiful lake views from every room. We enjoyed eating on the screened porch, having a fire in the fire pit, relaxing in the hammock and the convenience of keeping our boat right at the dock. The lake was the perfect size for water skiing and tubing. The kids all had a blast! Thank you John for an easy and enjoyable rental!!
We had an amazing time at the house. It's spacious and the perfect spot on the lake! Beautiful view and we will definitely be back! The owner is so helpful and kind! Thank you so much!
Excellent location to enjoy Lake Clay. The backyard with the spanish moss oak is really amazing. This home is great for family gateways. Beautiful house plenty of room with a big renovated kitchen. The dock area is wonderful either to enjoy the lake or to sit and relax.
We have rented several times from the Dipalo's and we absolutly love the property and location. We enjoy water skiing and the lake is one of the best in the Lake Placid area for water sports. This last year they have recently renovated the kitchen and did a great job with new landscaping and the sandy beach which our kids love. Cant wait for our next visit to Lake Clay.
We have vacationed at this lakehouse several times over the last five years. We love it more each time we visit! The DiPaolo's have always been very gracious and excellent communicators. The house is very spacious, charming, and private. We spend most of our time fishing at the dock where we have always caught good-sized bass. The backyard and dock are well-lit which is great for night fishing. The house is located close to a public boat ramp (next street) and across the highway from a bait shop. We can't wait for our next visit!
Bowling Ally, beautiful downtown Lake Placid.

On Saturday, June 4, Girl Scouts of the Colonial Coast hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony to officially open the new archery range at Girl Scout Camp Skimino in Williamsburg. The new range was made possible thanks to a generous donation made by Girl Scouts and their families in the Lynnhaven Shores Service Unit in Virginia Beach. Carol Watkins, a Girl Scout volunteer in the Lynnhaven Shores Service Unit, and her husband Thurston, also made a separate generous donation for an archery range at Camp Darden, located near Franklin.
The ribbon cutting ceremony was part of a weekend encampment attended 251 Girl Scouts and 115 Girl Scout adults, mostly from Virginia Beach. Tracy Keller, CEO for Girl Scouts of the Colonial Coast, and a group of Girl Scouts cut the ribbon to officially open the range. Following the ceremony, girls exchanged SWAPS, small tokens of friendship made by and shared among Girl Scouts. Favorite SWAPS included a miniature bow and arrow set, a jellyfish with yarn tentacles and turtles made from coiled pipe cleaners. During their weekend at camp, the girls had the opportunity to hone their archery skills on the new range.
In keeping with its tradition of encouraging girls to be active outdoors, Girl Scouts of the USA introduced a new set of badges last year, including an Archery badge for Girl Scout Cadettes. Through the processes of earning the badge, middle school-aged girls get to know archery equipment, learn about archery safety and hone their archery skills on a range, such as the one at Camp Skimino. After earning the badge, girls can teach younger girls about archery skills and safety and volunteer to help facilitate archery sessions.
Girls who attend summer camp at Camp Skimino, which kicks off on July 3, will have the opportunity to use the new range to learn archery, just one of the many activities at Girl Scout camp. All girls are invited to attend summer camp with Girl Scouts, including those who are not currently members of the organization. For more information and to register, visit www.gsccc.org.

Security Guard Training, Not Required in Michigan, an Issue Nationwide.
An effort to require training for security guards in Michigan is apparently stalled in the state legislature and one of the sponsors isn't happy about it.
The bill was sparked by the death of a Ferndale man at Northland Mall in January.
Michigan is one of just seven states that requires no training for security guards, and that's why State Representative Thomas Stallworth said it's needed.
A Michigan State University study finds security guards aren't adequately prepared to handle their jobs.
The study, conducted by MSU criminologists and published in Security Journal, found security guards were ill prepared to handle troublesome customers, deal with fights and even protect themselves.
Private security guards interviewed say they need more training and for that training to be standardized.
The study found that, despite a dramatic doubling in the hiring of unarmed security guards, industry regulations haven't been updated since 1982.
The study found the United States lags behind Australia and Europe in setting standards and accountability for the private security industry.

actually a talking toy.
You find out that it's a talking toy. That's good, you think. You look at it a bit longer, and touch its fur. Ew! It feels really gross. Obviously someone didn't like it. Suddenly, you feel a tingly feeling. You ignore it. You hop back into your car, and drive off.

The Bombo Stool is supposedly the best known piece of design by Italian lifestyle brand Magis, followed by Chair_One by Konstantin Grcic and the Air Chair by Jasper Morrison. All three design objects have reached iconic status in shortest time and account for the enormous success of Magis which is named in the same breath as Kartell and Driade. The British trend bible Wallpaper even placed Eugenio Perazza, founder of Magis, on top of the of the 'Ten who will change the way we live'. Magis is no common manufacturer of design furniture. It was founded in Northern Italy in 1976 by Eugenio Perazza, then still a newcomer to the furniture business, with the purpose to create mundane household plastic articles. Thereby focussing as one of the first companies on plastics. In the year 2000, for example, Magis introduced Air Chair. It was the world's first single-chair conceived in air moulding. The Sparkling chair by Marcel Wanders follows's in this bestseller's footsteps. It was first exhibited at the Milan furniture fair 2010 and is made from the same material as used for sparkling water bottles, yet filled with high pressure air rather than water. Although plastic remains one of the main materials used by Magis, designers like Konstantin Grcic,the Bouroullec brothers or Naoto Fukasawa lately used aluminium, wood or cement for their designs for Magis. The Steelwood family combines metal with wood, the Déjà-Vu chair quotes Thonet while being made from aluminium. All in all, the Magis furniture and design objects stand out with unique and practical design, developed during years of research before being manufactured in highest quality. A fact that becomes obvious at first sight of design classics like the Lyra Stool, the fantastic Bombo chairs or the award-winning bottle holder Bottle.

I thought it would be helpful to create a resources page where I can share the sales tools I use day-to-day. Because maybe some of them will benefit you too. I try to test out new sales tools on a regular basis to constantly streamline my own process. As I learn more, I will be sure to add them as I go. I recommend you bookmark this page for future reference. It's not something to forget.
Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate links. That means I will earn a commission if you decide to make a purchase. Mostly to help me pay for my website hosting. Please do not spend your money on tools you will never use. When I recommend products, it's because I have personally used them myself and experienced very positive results. Only purchase these products if they will help you achieve your own sales goals.
You can basically guarantee your own sales success with these three tools. For you, latest by the end of today. If you only have time to read about one, make time to read about all three.
Google Apps for Business: For the longest time, I used the free email service that came with my domain purchase. What a waste of time. Those email clients were not designed for high volume email activity. Throughout my investment banking career, I used Microsoft Outlook. But I always preferred my personal gmail interface and management capabilities. Then I discovered Gmail can be used for business accounts too. It's simple and easy to set up your own email with your own domain. Plus, Gmail gives you access to thousands of more business Apps to streamline your workflow.
Yesware: There are three major daily tasks that consume a modern day salesperson's time. Lead prioritization, writing emails/making calls and logging prospect activity. I always wanted a product that addressed all three. Yesware is the best in the marketplace. Download their Gmail or Outlook extension absolutely free. If you ever want to upgrade, send me an email directly (iadams [at] yesware.com). I will see if I can help. Either way, free or upgrade, you will live a better sales career with Yesware.
Join.me: How many sales demos have to die before a conference call/screenshare software company gets it right? It's so hard to ask prospects to schedule more time just because your technology killed your presentation. So far, Join.me has been the easiest for me to hold conference calls and share my screen without technical difficulties. There are no downloads by either party required. Which was the most important criteria for me. Highly recommended by me.
hired.com: During my sales job search, hired.com presented me with 6 different opportunities at local tech startups within the first 2 weeks. They specialize in tech sales jobs within the US. How would you like for companies to give you a dollar offer up front? That's their model. You can see exactly how much you'll make, even before the first interview.
Bluehost: Within the past 5 years, I have built four websites from scratch. The first three were all hosted on GoDaddy. I experienced site downtime, slow customer support and compromised performance with WordPress. I couldn't tell whether I set something up wrong or it was hosting. So, I tried Bluehost for the Senator Club, my fourth website. What a huge improvement. The price for performance is spot on. Take a look for yourself. You won't be disappointed.
Pagelines.com: I use WordPress to manage the content on this website. I use Pagelines to manage the design and layout. Mostly because it allows me to customize every element on the site. Every word, image, banner, signup form. You name it. All with a simple, drag and drop framework.
AWeber.com: There's no better way to deliver your sales message to a large audience. With Aweber you can collect email addresses from your website. Then add them to your subscriber list to share the value of your product. Most major 3rd party applications have full, pre-built integration with Aweber, like OptinMonster or Eventbrite.
OptinMonster: There are certain areas on the Senator Club website where I invite you to become a member of the club and subscribe to the newsletter. OptinMonster is powering those email entry forms.
Salesforce.com: The 800 lb. gorilla of CRM solutions. Of course, I use Salesforce. There are many lightweight CRM solutions that will meet the needs of small businesses. But for large corporations or fast growing companies, this is the CRM of choice. It is highly customizable with the largest app store for 3rd party integrations. Unfortunately, they haven't upgraded their user interface since the 90s.
Paypal: Get a fast and simple way to receive money or pay bills. Let's say you do consulting work. It's a perfect way to receive payment from your client prior to your meeting. The funds are instantly transferred and you never have to run around chasing a check.
LegalZoom: Here's the place to go for online legal document services. Also, all legal plans for families and small businesses. You can set up your own LLC or C corp. It's still important to do your homework and learn a little law to understand the proper way to formalize your company.
The Psychology of Persuasion: Using techniques from hypnosis, neurolinguistic programming, the Bible, and the greatest salespeople in history, Kevin Hogan empowers you to improve all areas of your life.
Predictable Revenue: Discover the outbound sales process that, in just a few years, helped add $100 million in recurring revenue to Salesforce.com, almost doubling their enterprise growth… with zero cold calls..
How I Raised Myself From Failure to Success in Selling: A business classic endorsed by Dale Carnegie, How I Raised Myself from Failure to Success in Selling is for anyone whose job it is to sell. Whether you are selling houses or mutual funds, advertisements or ideas—or anything else—this book is for you.
