Prescott, WIMature
He's still blaming himself, and he's a pack of cigarettes away from being broke, thousands of miles from home.
She's still haunted by what she never saw, and she's wandering the country, without a plan.
John MacAuliffe and Arizona Stagaard never meant to meet, but everything's different when it's midnight at the last Howard Johnson's in America and you've been holding in too many secrets and you're haunted by what you didn't do.
It began with a flick of a cigarette lighter. And it ends
Part 1 – Prescott, Wisconsin.
At the funeral, they kept telling me it wasn't my fault. She had a lot of problems, her parents said, and you never contributed to them. But after something as horrific as coming home to find your girlfriend hanging in her closet, you start thinking you had something to do with it. You look back and remember wrong, think you saw something when you really didn't. She always seemed fine. Just the night before we had watchedThe Officetogether and she laughed and we made out and everything was fine. It was all fine.
Her mother cried before the rabbi even started talking. It felt strange when her family asked me to sit with them. We had been together for a year, but it just didn't feel right.It wasn't your fault,everyone said.She was so beautiful,everyone said,and she just needed to know it.I told her she was beautiful every day. I told her that I loved her. And for a long time, I've been mad, because I don't think she was listening to me.
For the past two days, I've been telling people I left Detroit because I lost my job. And that's partially true. But now, as I drive past yet another Wisconsin dairy farm, counting down the miles to Montana, I realize that it was entirely because of Erica.
So far, the road has been kind. I drove straight across Michigan, through Indiana and Illinois. Slept briefly. I'd prefer to drive through the night, living off Ritz crackers and beef jerky. Even when I had a home, I was pretty much living out of my car. Anything that was ever important is in here, and for now, this is all I have.
Three months after I—no,they—buried Erica, the music store went out of business. We used to get a lot of elementary school kids renting their first instruments from us, plastic clarinets and half-size violins. I made decent money teaching guitar and piano to anyone who wanted to learn, from ten-year-olds to people old enough to be my parents. But when the economy collapsed, so did Detroit, in maybe the worst way possible. If no one wanted our cars, there wasn't much of a point anymore. The schools cut their music programs, and everyone figured eating was more important than harmonic scales. Sometimes we'd go entire days without customers. A bailout wasn't coming for Allegro Music on Clinton Street. We knew that, and like Erica, we had to give up.
I schlepped around at minimum-wage jobs, serving at a diner in Greektown and busking at streetcorners with an open guitar case (in the nicer parts of town—if any part of Detroit is actuallynice). For a while, I thought about going to night school, but I didn't know what I'd study. I sold Erica's old textbooks. There was a memorial for her when classes resumed. Her parents went. I didn't.
The neighborhood fell apart, piece by piece. People kept leaving. Erica's suicide was soon eclipsed by one a few floors down—a guy so deep in debt all he had to his name was a shotgun and a few blankets to sleep on. People left, abandoning their dogs and cats—soon the streets were teeming with them. I had to leave, simply because there was nothing left for me here. The bullshit "Halftime in America" ads didn't save us. On the national news they'd talk about how Detroit was heading towards recovery, thanks to urban renewal programs and tax incentives for movies. But I looked out my window and saw the streets were empty by the time the sun went down. I had fallen asleep to gunfire too many times. I had to leave.
So I sold my furniture. I sold my dishes, my appliances. I threw darts at a map, figured there weren't enough people in Montana for there to really be an unemployment rate. Erica's parents didn't take any of her stuff. Six months on, I still had her clothes, but it was her jewelry I was really interested in. I pawned the most expensive stuff first, pledging I would use the money only for gas and food and an eventual apartment in Helena. I've already broken that rule, using some of it to buy a warmer winter coat, a new beanie, and a new tattoo. I still have Erica's class ring and some necklace she got for her bat mitzvah. I've pledged to myself that I'll stop at the next Cash for Gold place I see.
But it's getting late, and the songs on the radio are becoming too slow and too sexy. I don't know where I'll stay tonight. Last night, I slept in my car in a parking lot of an Illinois Wal-Mart. That sounds like rock bottom, but there's something about motel rooms. I don't want bedbugs getting in the way of my life-reinvention process.
Am I reinventing my life, or just trying to put as many miles between Erica's grave and myself as possible?
I glance at the clock on the dashboard—nearly midnight. I've been driving for a long time, and I'm almost out of gas. I reach towards my center console. A grand total of two cigarettes to my name. Well, fuck. I have to stop, and I have to find a reasonably safe place to sleep. I'm still in Wisconsin, approaching the Minnesota border, and people seem nice here. I don't think I need to worry.
There's a twenty-four-hour Howard Johnson's on the upcoming exit, and the thought of a cheeseburger right now, even if it is almost midnight, is heavenly. And hopefully I can stock up on Marlboros. I had more-or-less quit by the time Erica died, but now I'm back to a half-pack a day. She would be furious. Considering how badly she had fucked me up, I consider it revenge.
I pull off, follow the signs to the place. I haven't seen a HoJo's in forever. Protein and cigarettes and the assurance no one's going to murder me if I fall asleep in my car. That's all I need. The peaked orange roof is some sort of relic from another era.
Inside, there's a bored-looking kid pouring coffee for a brunette woman sitting in a booth by herself. He seats me in the booth behind her, and through many layers of plastic and vinyl, our backs are touching. She's paging through a Vanity Fair, picking at a piece of pecan pie. Save for us and the waiter, the place is deserted.
Welcome to the last Howard Johnson's in America,the waiter deadpans.Can I get you anything to drink?
This is really the last Howard Johnson's in America?I ask.
The last one that's both a restaurant and a hotel.
Anything to drink?
Is Pepsi okay?
I grit my teeth.
What is it with restaurants and not understanding that there is a goddamned difference between Coke and Pepsi?I scoff.Is Pepsi okay. Is Monopoly money okay?
The woman turns in her seat a few degrees, cocking an eyebrow.
We have other sodas.
I'll just have a goddamned Pepsi,I grumble.Also, a pack of Marlboros.
The girl in the next booth chuckles to herself, twirling a lock of hair around her finger. Erica did that a lot.
Right away, sir.
He walks away, and I open my copy ofLeaves of Grass, starting from where I left off. The book's technically Erica's, but I blacked out her name on the inside cover with a Sharpie and wrote mine underneath it. Still being mad at her makes me feel like a complete dick. But Erica Rubenstein was probably going to be my wife someday, and for now I just think of her as selfish. I'm a horrible person, but I have no one left to be horrible to. My parents seemed almost glad I was leaving Detroit—they knew I needed it. It's a strange feeling, being so haunted.
I order my cheeseburger when the waiter comes back with my fucking Pepsi and my blessed cigarettes. I open my wallet to pay him; twelve dollars left, and my debit card is nearly depleted. One more pack of these motherfuckers, and I'm close enough to broke. Glancing around, I take out my lighter and open the fresh pack.
The lighter's almost dead. Goddamnit, another thing I don't have the money to buy. But I finally get a flame going, and light the tip. A long exhale.
Behind me, the woman clears her throat. She's holding her own cigarette.
Do you happen to have a light?she asks, timid, but somehow not. Her eyes are an unplaceable shade of gray-blue.
Yeah.It takes a few flicks, but I eventually get another flame, lighting the tip of her Camel. She exhales silvery smoke, and flashes a smile.
You just passing through?
Isn't everyone?
She laughs and sits on her knees, facing me fully. Her hair is big and curly, moving with her. She's wearing a cream-colored sweater, like the one my aunt and uncle brought me back from Ireland a long time ago.
Where you from?she asks.Or better yet, where are you headed?
She has the slightest twang of an accent, but I can't place it. South of here, I know that.
Hey, you guys can't smoke in here!the waiter shouts, back from the kitchen.
There isn't even anyone in here,the woman says.
Look, my boss is gonna kill me.
Smokers are an oppressed demographic in this country,I add. The woman laughs as she nods.
Just do me a solid and go outside,the waiter says.
My burger better be here when I finish this,I respond, standing up and walking towards the door. Quickly, the woman follows behind, her hair bouncing as she moves. When I step outside, I realize I left my coat on the booth. It's starting to snow, white flakes spinning down from the sky. I lean against the window and take a drag. The woman won't stop laughing.
I don't know who you are,she says inside shallow breaths,but I'm pretty sure you're my hero.
I shrug.
This is America. Let me have my smoke where I want.
Amen.She stops laughing and looks out at the parking lot, the highway beyond. She's wearing dark skinny jeans and black combat boots, no makeup, as far as I can tell. The outfit of someone who's been on the road a long time and has stopped caring, about anything.
You didn't answer my question,she says.
She looks towards me, her eyes wide.
Y'know, where you're from, where you're headed. Hell, let's throw in your name while we're at it.
I sigh and shiver at the same time. My threadbare waffle shirt is doing little to block out the cold.
John MacAuliffe. I'm from Detroit, and I'm going to Montana.
She nods.
I am too. Well, for now.
Well, I've been traveling for a while, without a legitimate destination. I'm just heading in the direction of Montana, really.
You on the run?
She shakes her head.
No.She stops.Well, maybe. I'm not running from the cops. Maybe just my hometown. All the shit that's gone down the past year.
I know that all too well,I say, flicking through images forever burnt into my brain. Hanging bodies don't look the way they do on TV. Erica was bloated, her skin a strange shade of purple, broken capillaries on her hands and feet. She had a traditional Jewish funeral, the casket closed. But everyone knew the embalmer couldn't have made her look like she was only sleeping.
I don't think you do,she replies. I press my lips together in a tight line, try not to think about it. In silence, I tap the ash off my cigarette.
What's your name?I ask.
She looks up at the falling snow, biting her lip.
As soon as I say my name, you'll know why I'm on the run. Because as soon as you know my name, you'll know my dad's name. And you'll know why I'm at the last Howard Johnson's in America.
I bite my lip, hesitate.
What, is your dad, like, the President? Are you wearing a wig?
She laughs again, shakes her head. I don't really know what to think when it's six months on and I'm actuallytalkingto a woman, an attractive woman. I loved Erica before she died, and for the past six months, I've been telling myself I still love her, even though all I've been since I found her is angry. Angry and depressed. Occasionally apathy, just pure absence of feeling, because I finally had proof nothing I said mattered.
And now I'm making a girl laugh. I'm tempted to run across the parking lot and get back into my car, drive through the night. I have a few cans of Red Bull in the backseat. But the snow's coming down harder now. In an hour, it'll be a nightmare, and I'll have skidded into a ditch.
This is what happens to your brain after your girlfriend kills herself. Everything becomes a worst-case scenario, because you're living one.
No,she says.Not even close.
What's your name?I repeat. She takes a drag, looks up at the pitch-black sky as she exhales.
Arizona Stagaard.
I nearly snort. Nearly.
What?That's your real name?
Yes.She's not amused. I take another drag simply to avoid laughing.Wait, you really don't recognize that last name?
I rack my brain, but I can't place it.
I know I've heard it before,I kind-of lie.I just can't remember where.
She takes a deep breath.
My father is Jim-Bob Stagaard.
My eyes widen, and everything starts making sense.
Holy shit, the baseball coach at WVU who was, uh, the—
You're allowed to say 'pedophile,'she says flatly.
Holy shit. Holy shit. I just… oh my God. I don't even know what to say.
It's okay. He didn't say anything either, once they took him to the courtroom.
I remember the story—for a few months, it seemed to be all they talked about on TV. But it ended a while ago. The verdict was read before Erica was gone. I remember sitting on the couch with her, watching the news. She was quiet, but I went on a too-long rant about how I was usually against the death penalty but anyone who rapes kids in their soundproofed basement deserved to fry. I decide against telling Arizona—Jesus, thatname—about this.
I'm sorry. Y'know, that your family had to go through all that.
She shrugs.
It's over. My father's going to jail and my mother's divorcing him and my sister and I left West Virginia as soon as the trial ended. It's strange. During the proceedings, I thought it'd never end. And now that it's been months, it's suddenly like it never happened at all. The victims got their money and their book deals. And I've finally stopped getting death threats.
My eyes widen.
Death threats?
So many people thought my mother and my sisters were covering it up. I swear on a stack of Bibles, I didn't know it was going on. I never did. He sent my sister and me to boarding school; we were gone for ten months every year. We never saw anything. Do you believe me?
Her eyes are pleading, almost. It's scary, but I've seen so many scary things.
I believe you,I tell her, and something clicks. We both feel it, but we don't acknowledge it, not now. She sighs and leans back against the window.
How far are we from Montana?
I sigh.
Well, actually, Minnesota's just over the river. Like ten minutes from here. And after that, it's about seventeen hours on the Interstate. Well, to get to where I'm headed.
You're going to a specific place in Montana?she asks.
It's a big fuckin' state,I reply.I'm going to Helena. I heard there's work there.
So that's why you left Detroit,she says. I realize we've both finished our cigarettes, both ground them into the ashtray outside the door. But we're still standing here, in the freezing cold.You lost your job.
That's part of it,I say, crossing my arms over my chest, trying to keep warm. I should've brought my hoodie in.
She looks down at her feet, and then up at me. We're facing each other now, and I can't remember how we got this way.
What's the other part?she asks, pushing her hair out of her eyes. I can tell it's been a long time since anyone told her she was beautiful. She looks up, expecting me to answer. But I can't. Not yet.
Can we head inside?I ask.I'm afraid my balls might be permanently shrunk.
She nods, and we walk back into the building. Should I tell her?
No. The world doesn't need to know about Erica. Certainly not Arizona Stagaard, daughter of a sex offender, habit smoker, woman of the road. My brain wraps around her name.Ar-i-zo-na.Throughout all the news coverage, she was never mentioned. I don't even think I saw a picture of her, for all the pictures I saw of her father. I keep wondering if she testified. But she didn't see anything. Didn't hear those boys, hand-selected from charity events and WVU summer camps, screaming for help.
I wonder if it eats her up inside. I know what it's like, to feel you weren't listening hard enough.
My burger is waiting for me when I sit down, but suddenly I don't have an appetite. I take a bite anyway, and when I look up, Arizona is sitting across from me, with her magazine and piece of half-eaten pie.
There's something awfully sad about two people eating by themselves. I'll let you have a few bites of this if you let me have some of your fries.
I chuckle, push my plate towards the middle of the table.
It's more than I'm gonna eat anyway,I assure her. She smiles. It's a captivating smile, one they could put on TV.
For the next hour, we talk. About where we grew up, about good movies we've seen lately. She teaches me that if you hit the 57 to make the ketchup come out faster. I find out her sister's name is Alaska—the other place her father was stationed when he was in the Army, she tells me. She's entranced when I mention I play the guitar, even though I didn't pick it up to get girls. It didn't really work on Erica anyway; she yelled at me for practicing too loud.
I want to ask for Arizona's number, until she tells me she chucked her phone into a lake before leaving home.
Fuck. You were really serious,I say.
She takes a sip of my Pepsi. It's basically become ours, at this point.
It's hard, leaving everything behind,she says.Until it's not.
Our food is long gone, and the waiter is sleeping at the cash register. She picks up my book, flips through it. She comes to a poem in the middle.
'Pioneers! O Pioneers!'she reads.Why did they write it without the H in the olden days?
I shrug.
I guess the O by itself just started looking wrong after a while.Like if you stare at a word long enough it just turns into scribbles.
Yeah,she says, stroking the creamy paper as though it's a purring cat.Pioneers. I guess that's what we are.
Well, I don't know about you, but I haven't had to fight off roving herds of buffalo. I mean, I wouldn't put it past you…
She laughs. I'm losing count of how many times that's happened tonight. Today. I don't know what time it is, and I don't care.
No buffalo,she says.But, I mean, if you think about it. The pioneers left everything behind, simply because they made themselves believe that everything would be better in a new place. I think we all do that.
We do,I agree.It's just how humans work. Grass is always greener.
And I guess it worked, for some of them. But some of them had to eat each other in the mountains.
The Donner Party. You've never heard of them?
They were this group of pioneers heading to California, and they headed out too late. So they got stuck in the mountains as winter began. And they only found a few of them alive. They had eaten their relatives to stay alive. It's just an insane image, search parties coming across these people, stranded in the snow, blood dripping down them.
I make a face of disgust.
Jesus Christ.
I think we're all like that, secretly.
She looks down, tracing the edge of the table with her finger.
I dunno. No one's good. I know that.
I sigh.
Yeah. And sometimes you don't know that until it's too late.
'We must march my darlings, we must bear the brunt of danger, we the youthful sinewy races, all the rest on us depend, pioneers! O pioneers!'she recites. She doesn't even look at the page. She knows it. She always has.I think we're fucked if we try to depend on each other too much. Although I feel like a hypocrite for saying that, considering I hitched here.
You hitchhiked? Is that even legal?
Depends on the state, actually. I took a bus from West Virginia to Chicago. But after that, I realized I'm not in a rush and no one recognizes me anyway. My mother didn't allow my sister or I to be filmed or photographed. We were barely mentioned, honestly.
That's in your best interest.
I had to drop out of school,she confesses.I was a literature major at Sewanee. My sister's still at Stanford, but she's managed to lay low. It just wasn't going to work for me. There wasn't a person on campus who didn't know me. Who didn't know my father.
I went to see him, before his sentencing. I just told him that he's ruined too many lives. And I wonder if that makes me a bad person. But he's a worse person. But after a while you start to realize we're all bad people. There's just different degrees of badness inside us. Maybe the badness to rape children or eat people to survive. Maybe the badness to ignore the man who raised you or run away from everything.
Well, like the poem says,I say.You have to march. Even if you lost your job and even if you're currently a pack of cigarettes from broke.
She sighs, looks out the window.
Where are you sleeping tonight?
In my car, most likely.
She shakes her head.
Not in this weather. You'll freeze.
I don't have money.
She reaches into her tote bag—it seems to be all she has with her—and pulls out a wallet. And then, a debit card.
My mother put two thousand dollars on this when I told her I wanted to leave West Virginia. I don't even think she cared where I went. But she cared enough to ensure I could get a motel room.
You're gonna get me a room here?
We'll just get a room for the both of us. I mean, safety in numbers, no?
I'm not really sure, because she is charming and thoughtful enough to be a raging psychopath, underneath the doe eyes and harrowing life story.
One room?
I don't know about you, but I'd like a friend to roll into Helena with.You in?
She holds out her hand. I just sit and stare at it.
I'm not an axe murderer,she assures me.
You just went on a tangent about cannibalism.
She rolls her eyes.
That doesn't mean I'm gonna do it. C'mon, John, do me a solid. No one really wants to travel alone. They're lying if they say they do.
I don't know what came over me. Maybe it was her smile or her eyes. Or maybe it was the way her tongue curled around those centuries-old words. The way the snowflakes hung in her hair was we walked across the parking lot to our room, like baubles on a Christmas tree. My breath catches in my throat as she unlocks the door. I'm a few steps behind her. I just keep thinking of all she's told me in the past few hours, and it hurts, because I left her hanging from that conversation that now seems like decades ago.
It was my girlfriend,I spurt, realizing seconds later how dumb it sounded. She looks up from the doorknob.
My girlfriend was the main reason I left Detroit. Losing my job was just… something shitty that happened. It was mostly my girlfriend.
Did she dump you?Arizona asks.
I shake my head, massage my temples. Don't fucking cry, don't fucking cry.
No, no, she… she hung herself.
Arizona gasps.
Holy shit. I'm so sorry.
Don't apologize,I say, looking down at my feet. The asphalt is now covered in snow, a few inches thick. It's supposed to keep falling through the night, into tomorrow morning—no, today. It's nearly three in the morning.It's not like you told her to do it.
Did someone?she asks nervously.
No,I answer immediately.No one did. I don't even know why she did it. She just… she didn't leave a note, or anything. She didn't even really have those signs they always talk about. I just made myself believe that I had missed something, but I didn't. It's been six months and I'm still blaming myself. For something I have no explanation for and never will.
She doesn't say anything. All she does is put her bag down, slide the keys into her pocket, and approach me, until our hipbones are touching and she's looking straight up at me. I didn't notice our height difference when we were sitting.
She takes the Marlboro from my mouth. Her fingers are slender and pale, and for a split second, her skin touches mine. I look into her eyes, the color of the Detroit River before a storm, and something changes. The snow falls faster and I finally feel I can change, could be happy someday. Tonight, I won't have another nightmare about Erica, coming to me in the dress she was buried in, a thick line of purple-red along her neck.
There is no past,she whispers.It's gone before you even realize it.And that's the beauty of it all.
She's right. And at three in the morning, in Prescott, Wisconsin, at the last Howard Johnson's in America, I'm kissing Arizona Stagaard.
It's another seventeen hours until Helena. And I suppose that's enough time for the past six months to go away.
Strength is coming, somehow. And I feel it'll find me soon.

Don't open the door if they want in
They see the light, they see it
Swarms of eager insect grins
They see the light, they see it.
Fluttering, probing, twitching
At the windows, hungry, seeking
Backlit by the scimitar moon
Unheard language leaking.
Glinting wings, black eyes, feelers
Watchful, quick and watchful
Singing silent, nightmare dealers
They see your light, they see it.
They'll cocoon you squirming in your bed,
If you're chosen to sleep forever.
They'll lay eggs inside your head
Quivering, shivering, jittering.
It's not the porch light that they want
For countless summers here they haunt
Don't open the door. Don't let them in
They need your light, they need it.

Well, it's not a long story…..
Lindsay Allison Sanderson
There's my name, but don't worry about saying it too much, it's already worn out. Each of the three names are plain, overused and simply….Well just a little too simple.
Lindsay- Well, my parents really weren't aware of it when they named me, but it's my great, great, great, great….You get the point, Grandpa's last name. Well, with the exception of being spelled 'Lindsey' with an E instead of an A.
Allison – Totally random middle name, it holds no meaning….Well not yet, anyways. When I'm done with it, then it will mean something. But until I'm dead, it has no value, really.
Sanderson – The most common last name in the book. My friends have trouble calling me because when they look Sanderson up in the phone book, there are about a billion Sanderson's there. And, well it also maybe because my number's not even in the phone book.
Spiderwebz – I don't know why I like this name, but I do. It screams, 'Look at me!" Having a name that in no way is ostentatious, I need something that can define me for being me. My name is plain, I'm not.

Compression 101 and Beyond
Compression is one of those studio processes that is all too often taken for granted and not used to its full potential. Today's producers think nothing of inserting compressors on every single channel of their DAW when mixing, but old school engineers had to learn to make the most of only a few units of compression—and this made us learn them inside out.

Ripple the Dog Completely (And Hilariously) Ruins Local Weather Forecast
Guess you could say this forecast called for a bark-tic chill.
Guess you could say this forecast called for a bark-tic chill.
This woman has let the world know a dirty little secret about her relationship with her hubby.
Chances are you've ever eaten an overpriced hamburger at an airport. Well, the 20-odd dollars you angrily coughed up for sustenance while trying to kill time during your layover in Phoenix seems like a bargain compared to this.
He may get his mouth washed out with soap for this, but you can't blame this kid for the sense of relief he feels when his cast comes off.
Remember the dad who scored Internet fame with his sarcastic video showing his children how to change the toilet paper roll? Well, he's back with a new life lesson.
This is a whole different take on getting an order to go.
Here we go again. Ylvis, the Norwegian comedy duo who set the Internet ablaze last year with the question of our time -- 'The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)' -- have returned with a new song called 'Trucker's Hitch.'
Apple recently unveiled two new iPhones and a watch, giving people a whole new reason with working phones to ponder whether they want to pony up a few more hundred dollars for the latest in tech gadgetry.
Going back to school has never been so fun.
"Dad, are you kidding me?!"

Transparency Helps Customers Get The Most Out Of Online Shopping
With a world of information at their fingertips, today's consumers are used to being able to quickly access information about nearly any topic, whether they are looking for the best price on a pair of shoes or shopping around on the Internet before making more complex purchase decisions, like travel or real estate.
Sites like Google and Amazon have blazed a path for consumers' high expectations around information access and transparency, generating consumer demand for transparency around pricing and other factors involved in the purchase decision. This demand for transparency is now transforming entire industries.
Goodbye Loyalty, Hello Bargain Shopping
The travel industry is one that is being impacted by changing consumer demands for access to information and transparency. One of the biggest impacts has been in the area of customer loyalty. Airlines once invested heavily in developing customer loyalty programs to keep their satisfied customers coming back to fly on their airline. Free airline miles, luxurious wood-paneled lounges in airports around the world, and concierge service for their best customers helped airlines keep their margins high in the era following deregulation of the industry in the late 1980s. For the majority of airline customers today, however, loyalty programs no longer trump the ability to find the lowest fare. Now, customers use sites like Trivago and TripAdvisor to find bargain deals on airfare instead of going with a preferred airline.
The move away from customer loyalty isn't happening in just the travel industry. In the age of transparency, loyalty is harder to come by for all businesses. 59 per cent of eCommerce customers report that the ability to comparison shop is why they prefer to shop online. Price-matching guarantees are one way big box retailers like Best Buy, Target and Staples are remaining competitive in the age of e-commerce and meeting consumer demand for the lowest prices on the products they buy.
Transparency Transforms the Energy Industry
Customer demand for transparency is even transforming industries you wouldn't expect. Take the heating and cooling industry, long known for its price fluctuations and complex hidden costs. Customers in warm climates know that the time to buy an air conditioner is during the winter when demand is low. Today, if AC units are too expensive in their local stores customers can compare prices on the Internet, select one with the lowest price and have it shipped from anywhere.
This ability to comparison shop and demand for transparency is even transforming the energy industry itself. One company that is not just responding but actually contributing to this change is Electricity Match. The Texas-based company offers price matching and the ability to comparison shop for electricity services to customers in deregulated markets like Texas, Connecticut, New York and Massachusetts.
Customers simply log in to the site and enter their zip code to see the best electricity pricing plans available in their market. Customers can compare more than just price: they can also compare customer service ratings, term lengths or even how much of the electricity comes from renewable energy sources like wind, and popular pricing plans.
This could save customers hundreds on their heating and cooling costs, cut hidden costs and take control of the source of their electricity. "Electric service is essentially a commodity," says Electricity Match founder Charlie Hewitt. "We combine online price comparisons with plain language market information to de-mystify the shopping experience for the customer." The kind of transparency a service like this offers is important to customers, helping them make more informed decisions about their energy provider.
Transparency: Key to Unlocking the Digital Customer
Once upon a time, simply making a great product and offering it at a competitive price was enough to inspire customer loyalty. But now, customers are demanding more information and transparency to help make more informed decisions, Brands that want to stay competitive in the digital era need to provide not just a great product; they also need to provide detailed information about those products and a price that other competitors can't beat. Successful companies will be those that understand that transparency around pricing and the other factors consumers care about will be the key to success as consumers increasingly take their business online.
Brand transparency is taking on a new meaning in the digital era. With so much information available online, customers want an honest glimpse at their available product choices so they can make a truly informed decision. Price matching is taking over all industries that sell to consumers, and the successful companies are the ones that advocate for the consumer's best interests rather than exploiting them for their money.

It's an awful feeling to forget someone! There is a selection of apps available to help with shopping list organization, but good old pen and paper work too.
Before you start shopping, go online to price compare and get ideas. If you find the item for cheaper on another website, make sure you check the shipping costs before purchasing. Some websites may have higher shipping costs and suddenly the deal isn't as amazing.
If you're worried about sizes or a gift not being quite right, don't. Stores are making it easier than ever to return items — just be sure to read their policies before you buy. In many cases, it's as simple as mailing it back for an exchange. Don't forget to get a gift receipt!
Take time to make sure what you're buying is what you actually want. Check for online promo codes and make sure you apply them at check-out. Read your total carefully during check out before paying so you can ensure any discounts have been applied and you know the total price that you'll be charged including taxes, shipping or any other costs.
Online is the easiest place to find sales and deals. Many stores have their flyers online so spend a bit of time digging around. Sign up for your favourite retailers' online alerts or newsletters to learn about upcoming sales and deals.
Give and receive! Shop smart and earn valuable reward miles on spending. Going online to a website such as airmilesshops.ca enables AIR MILES Collectors to earn reward miles at stores where they wouldn't normally be able to earn.
If you are a first time shopper or student, email customer service to see if they can offer you any deals. Some stores offer up to 30 per cent off for students and first time shoppers!
Some credit cards offer additional purchase protection, extended warranties and liability protection from fraudulent purchases.
Shipping is often a flat fee so try and consolidate your online shopping by visiting stores with a wide selection. Indigo and Macy's offer great gifts for a range of people. Certain stores like Sears and The Source allow people to shop online and visit a store location of their choice to pick up their purchased items.

First-Ever All-Female Team at Pro-Am Cycling Event is Changing Lives
Ironman Legend Chrissie Wellington, Pro cyclist Evelyn Stevens of Specialized-lululemon, and Women's Cycling Association President Robin Farina ride in support of World Bicycle Relief at Trois Etapes Tour
In just a few years, the Trois Etapes has become the must-ride event for serious amateurs who want the thrill of races like the Tour de France, to ride with a pro and experience cycling like a pro. It only made sense for World Bicycle Relief to use this platform to create more momentum with the first women's team riding together to create change in the cycling world but also in developing countries.
"[Participating in the Trois Etapes] is a once in a lifetime opportunity to shine a light on the power of sport, and to show that change really can happen, one pedal stroke at a time," said Wellington. These amazing ladies are not only riding to empower fellow female riders, they are also raising funds to provide specially-designed, locally-assembled bicycles to communities in rural Africa, with a special focus on connecting women and girls with education, healthcare and economic opportunities.
Compared side by side, the contrast between a racing bike and a Buffalo Bicycle couldn't be greater. One is a custom carbon road weapon with power measurement and ultra-lightweight components; the other is a single speed, utility workhorse made from heavy duty steel with a rear rack that can carry 200lbs. The former will be used to get its rider up some of the most iconic passes in cycling and in doing so will provide hundreds of the latter to students and mothers in Zambia to help them access independence and livelihood.
World Bicycle Relief is one of 11 charity partners' participation in the Trois Etapes. Since its inception in 2012, the Trois Etapes has helped raise over $5 million for the participating charities. Other professional riders at this year's event are Tour de France winner, Carlos Sastre, Nicole Cooke, and Emma Pooley.
With just under one month until the start of the third edition of the Trois Etapes, riders are training hard and preparations are well underway for what will be the ultimate cycling experience through the French Pyrénées. The Trois Etapes Tour de France runs from Aug. 7 through Aug. 10.
To support the women's team, please visit the team's page here > http://fundraise.worldbicyclerelief.org/

About the Women's Team:
The mission of this unique team is multi-fold: 1) to raise funds to empower and mobilize more women (students, healthcare workers, mothers, entrepreneurs, etc. ) in rural parts of Africa through World Bicycle Relief's programming;
About World Bicycle Relief:
World Bicycle Relief is a 501(c)(3) organization transforming lives through The Power of Bicycles®. World Bicycle Relief's mission is accomplished by designing, sourcing and manufacturing bicycles designed to withstand African terrain and conditions, while meeting the needs of students, healthcare workers, farmers and entrepreneurs. The work performed by World Bicycle Relief encourages local economies and promotes long-term sustainability by locally assembling bicycles, training mechanics, strengthening the spare parts supply chain, in addition to providing high-quality, affordable bicycles to people in need of transportation.
About Cosaveli:
Cosaveli is the proud leading force in the organization of the Trois Etapes. Cosaveli was created by a group of philanthropists driven to leverage corporate and individual donations to global charities. Cosaveli's flagship event is the Trois Etapes Tour and $4.5 million has been raised in the first two years of the event making it more successful than any other cycling event at creating value for sponsors, charities and riders. Cycling is a beautiful sport, often played out on some of the most dramatic scenery our planet has to offer. Cosaveli's experience and connections in the sport give us the ability to create and deliver exciting, high quality unparalleled events.
About Women's Cycling Association:
The Women's Cycling Association (WCA) is a coalition of cyclists, across the globe, which supports the advancement and success of women's cycling on both sporting and business levels. The WCA continues to work with cycling industry companies and other organizations, worldwide, as well as media to grow the sport of cycling and ensure sustainability in women's cycling for the future.

Given the sensitive and important nature of the proposals unveiled today to help consumers get back control of their credit cards, you would think the government would be careful about who it linked up with to promote its consultation paper.
The government is proposing several initiatives, including raising the minimum monthly payment to at least 5% of the outstanding balance and stopping the unsolicited raising of credit card limits, which if implemented could in the short- to medium-term make consumers' lives more difficult.
On the whole these are good suggestions, albeit smacking of stable doors and horses: but at least they could stop even more people getting into financial difficulties in the future. A large chunk of the British population has proved itself to be untrustworthy when it comes to credit, and credit card companies have encouraged us to borrow more than we can afford. If we can't be disciplined about the way we use credit cards then it is necessary for the government to do it for us.
But I would be much more convinced that the government finally understood what was going on if it wasn't encouraging consumers to use comparison website moneysupermarket.com as a forum to voice their opinions on the proposals. The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills website features a big link to the forum alongside a video clip of consumer minister, Kevin Brennan, talking about the consultation.
Follow the link and you go to the forum, but right beside it is a credit card comparison tool taking you straight through to moneysupermarket's credit card tables. I think this shows a serious lack of judgement. Moneysupermarket is very good at comparing different financial products: we use it as our website partner providing credit card, loan, current account and savings account deals for readers. But should it be using a serious discussion about controlling the credit card market to promote the sale of even more?
More worrying if you are a borrower struggling with repayments is that some of the services moneysupermarket offers may just push you over the edge. The site also promotes "payday" loans. These are emergency loans targeted at struggling borrowers who often cannot make it through to their next payday without the need to borrow cash at extortionate rates of interest for a few days or weeks.
Most of the loans on its payday page quote a typical APR of 1,286.1%, but Uncle Buck Payday Loans charges 2,100.4% – equivalent to paying £30 interest on a £100 loan over 31 days. Is this really suitable business for a website that the government is promoting? I don't think so.

Youths Gone Wild
It was a wild weekend across the country as "youths" went on violent rampages.
Miami was describe as a "war zone",
Urban "youths" went on a rampage in Charlotte:
In Nashville "youths" scaled the fence of water park and started a riot.
And in Chicago, 6 people were killed in youth related shootings:
The Chicago Tribune can only guess that the heat and holiday was responsible for the outbreak of violence.

Giving me Medaka, Kumagawa, and Ajimu as players in this on top of Shiranui and Hanten? Arc confirmed for awesomeness. Ajimu going first should be interesting considering she mentioned the rules may screw her over. Its her and the Shiranui family members I want to see in an actual battle at this point since neither have ever fought and still have loads of question marks around them.
Also Medaka's suitors are flat-out terrible. Some of the worst guys that have been in this manga yet. They make even Maguro seem normal by comparison. I don't blame Medaka for saying she would marry Kumagawa tomorrow when being in the presence of people like that lmao.
Also lol @ it taking place on an aircraft carrier in the middle of the ocean. Whoever decided on that location is pretty smart considering if they all died again they could just dump the bodies in the ocean. Plus they shouldn't be interrupted by normal means or authorities if no one knows where the hell you are.

*Time to read the first 2 chapters of Zenkichi Box* (Since you know if the manga wasn't ending it was going to become Zenkichi Box according to 90% of the posters here)
I guess Nisio is removing Zen to spike the TOC rankings. (3rd last this week)

Now, now, there IS logic as to why having Zen here would be a bad idea on multiple levels.
Who do you think that they'd gun for from the very beginning? He's the childhood friend with special bonuses. To get Medaka off her game the quickest, and to also increase the chances of their success by getting her too upset to think straight, they'd flat out murder Zenkichi - all 6 of them, all at once. He's their biggest threat, not because of his power, but because of his place in Medaka's heart.
She might have told Kuwagawa that she'd marry him tomorrow, but that doesn't mean that she has fallen for him. Just two chapters ago, who did she kiss in front of the entire student body? Just two chapters ago, who did she say she fell for? Don't go writting Zenkichi-kun off just because he's not there - Medaka's protecting him from this. And as for why she keeps calling Zen her 'childhood friend', she reverted back to that as soon as they landed on the ship - she's in front of her enemies now. And those three ALL know what Medaka thinks of Zenkichi, even if she doesn't fully understand it herself.
And like I said in an earlier post, if Zen had seen those suitors, he would have attacked them right off the bat, as soon as the introductions were given. They're too weird - even Medaka was weirded out by them enough to roll her eyes back.
Xtra: (Zenkichi's Devil Style would make it so that they couldn't possilbly miss, slip on oil, have a door slammed in their face while in mid attack. So, if they're more skilled that he is, he'll lose.)

Yeah, he's one of my favorite characters, but that's not why I'm not interested.
My problem is that nothing really jumped out at me here like the other arcs.
Flask Plan
Kumagawa's Coucil
Medaka's Successors
Zenkichi's Rebellion
All those had moments I loved. And some of those moments we're at the beginning of the arc.
I've always like the introduction of new characters, but so far...nothing's really grabbed my notice.
I'm hoping that'll change as the story progresses

About zen is true. Until he had that skill he can't really fight normally or better the author cant use him like before. On the other hand we really don't know in what else Najimi train him even if she want to lose that time I don't think she do a half asset job. Still I do understand why Medaka not bring him with her.But true be told i wonder how she will act after this arc or the next time that she see Zen after she is free from this whole mess.
Also it's only me or the last suitore ...the shadow one remind me a little her brother ?

After watching second episode of medaka box i noticed something what i didnt noticed in the manga , i think i understand nature of medaka and zenkichis relationship . Basically medaka is the overlord while zenkichi is the hero , that must be also the reason why shinui mentioned them as old enemies . Medaka and Zenkichi both make allies but there is difference between them ; Medakas allies are bad guys who are influenced by her and can do evil again but Zenkichis allies are good good guys who are saved by him and quit their old ways . This must be also the reason why medaka doesnt want zenkichi to power up since if he does that they will be enemies and never be together . Pretty sad actually no wonder some people think medaka is good kumagawa since they are both evil , i think zenkichi and medakas love are doomed to fail .

The American Horse Council's "2006 Horse Owners and Breeders Tax Handbook" is now available.
The American Horse Council has issued an advisory concerning immigration legislation pass in December by the U.S. House of Representatives that could have negative implications for the horse industry.
Legislation introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives prohibits the use of credit for Internet gambling but contains provisions to protect interstate pari-mutuel wagering.

In light of Hurricane Katrina, The American Horse Council Foundation is accepting donations to assist the needs of horse owners and their horses in the states which were affected.
The American Horse Council announced Aug. 22 that its "Economic Impact of the Horse Industry Study" is now available for sale to the general public. The study finds that the horse industry in the U. S. contributes $39 billion in direct economic impact to the economy and supports 1.4 million jobs on a full-time basis.
Making its annual appearance in Silicon Valley on Thursday, the California Horse Racing Board directed its staff to take a major technological stride in the use of microchips for identification of race horses.
The horse industry in the United States contributes $39 billion in direct economic impact and generates about $102 billion in total spending, according to a detailed economic impact study released June 28.
The release of what is being called the most comprehensive study ever done on the horse industry in the United States will be released June 28 in Washington, D.C.
The Congressional Horse Caucus, now more than 60 members strong, said it supports efforts to stop illegal Internet gambling but said any proposed legislation must be clarified to protect legal pari-mutuel account wagering and simulcasting.
The horse industry in New York has an annual economic impact of $2.4 billion, according to information contained in a national economic impact study to be released soon by the American Horse Council.
Legislation designed to ease problems caused by a cap on H-2B visas is included in a sweeping appropriations bill President Bush signed May 11, the American Horse Council reported.
The Rolapp Award was presented April 19 to Congressman Jim McCrery of Louisiana for his outstanding support of the horse industry.
The first Unwanted Horse Summit was called a success, though participants acknowledged devising ways to deal with tens of thousands of horses a year would take cooperation and compromise from all segments of the equine industry.
The National Animal Identification System, still a work in progress but headed for mandatory implementation, could have been useful in tracking and containing strangles in Florida and Kentucky, a veterinarian with the United States Department of Agriculture said.
With a large increase in the number of horse owners that supplied information, a new economic impact study for the horse industry, the first in almost 10 years, is expected to be more statistically reliable than its 1996 counterpart.
More than 20 equine organizations have committed to send at least one representative to the first "Unwanted Horse Summit" scheduled for April 19 as part of the American Horse Council meeting in Washington, D.C.
The American Horse Council has announced the speaker line-up for its National Issues Forum April 18-19, featuring seminars about planning equine events and issues involving unwanted horses.
Bills have been introduced in the Senate and House to help resolve the problem of a cap on foreign workers.
The American Association of Equine Practitioners has announced plans to host an Unwanted Horse Summit. The summit, a one-day conference bringing equine industry leaders together to address the problem of unwanted horses, will take place Tuesday, April 19, 2005, during the American Horse Council's annual meeting in Washington, D.C.
The American Horse Council reports that the U.S. Department of Agriculture has taken another step toward the implementation of the National Animal Identification System to trace animal movements in case of a major disease outbreak.
A measure that would repeal the 30% alien withholding tax and allow the pari-mutuel industry to further export racing to foreign markets was approved by the U.S. Senate Monday, Oct. 11.
The American Horse Council said about 160,000 postcard invitations have been distributed asking people to participate in the update of the national economic impact study of the horse industry.
The American Horse Council has been informed that effective Nov. 5, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport will close the Atlanta Equine Complex, which has served as an export-import facility for horses.
Today, nearly 250 leaders in Maryland horse racing, recreational and competitive riding, training, boarding stables, veterinary services, agriculture, tourism, and support industries are gathering to lay the groundwork to strengthen the equine industry well into the future. Initiated by Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr., and developed by a committee of the Maryland Horse Industry Board, the forum provides a way for participants to identify solutions to challenges facing the equine industry.
Deloitte Consulting LLP has been retained by the American Horse Council to update the 1996 National Economic Impact Study of the Horse Industry in the U.S.
All horses being exported from the United States to the European Union (EU) now require a negative (1:12) virus neutralization test for Vesicular Stomatitis (VS), a disease recently found to have infected horses in southwest Texas.
The U.S. Senate passed an international tax bill that includes two provisions that are favorable for the horse industry. The first is the clarification that the 30% alien withholding provision does not apply to nonresident aliens wagering in foreign countries; the second is a reduction in the holding period for horses to qualify for capitol gains treatment from 24 months to 12 months.
The importance of the horse industry in the United States was a focus of the American Horse Council National Issues Forum in April. Horse industry leaders got the chance to meet with Ann Veneman, secretary of the Department of Agriculture.
The American Horse Council has initiated efforts to update a 1996 study of the economic impact of the horse industry in the United States, which the organization says is critical to the industry's political efforts in Washington D.C.
Legislation recently introduced in both chambers of the U.S. Congress would accelerate the implementation of a proposed national livestock identification program that would include all farm-raised animals, including horses.
Uncertainty over travel and concerns with heightened security in the nation's capital since the outset of the military action against Iraq has prompted the American Horse Council to cancel its annual convention, scheduled April 5-8 in Washington, D.C.
The American Horse Council convention and Congressional conference for 2003 will focus on education and how it can lead to advocacy.
U.S. Representative Ernie Fletcher (Ky-R), a candidate for governor of the state of Kentucky in 2003, pledged his support for the Thoroughbred breeding industry in an address to the winning breeders of Breeders' Cup races Jan 12 at Keeneland Race Course.
A bill being considered by Congress tonight would outlaw the use of credit cards, checks, and electronic transfers to pay for unregulated Internet gambling. The bill does not apply to account wagering on horseracing.
The National Thoroughbred Racing Association, in a statement released June 21, said the reworked "Combatting Illegal Gambling Reform and Modernization Act" is "fundamentally flawed and unfair," and it also said it plans to discuss the ramifications of a move by Citibank to ban use of credit cards for online wagering.
The "Combating Illegal Gambling Reform and Modernization Act" cleared the House Judiciary Committee June 18 after removal of provisions that permit states to legalize interstate wagering and the horseracing industry to continue business legal under the Interstate Horseracing Act.
The U. S. House Judiciary Committee continued to discuss the "Combating Illegal Gambling Reform and Modernization Act" the week of June 10, but it should be status quo until June 20, when the measure is on the calendar again.
The "Combating Illegal Gambling Reform and Modernization Act" failed to come up for discussion by the House Judiciary Committee June 6 because the committee failed to meet. The measure, sponsored by Virginia Rep. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia, could be on the table for "mark up" again the week of June 10.
The National Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association said May 24 that, though it is "in complete support" of protection of live racing, a proposed amendment to the Interstate Horseracing Act of 1978 raises "some serious questions."
The American Gaming Association has endorsed the "Combating Illegal Gambling Reform and Modernization Act" because its sponsor, Rep. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia, made changes at the organization's request.
Interstate simulcasting and telephone and Internet wagering on horse races will come under attack again if U.S. Rep. Chris Cannon, a Republican from Utah, introduces an amendment that would remove horse racing provisions from an Internet gambling bill sponsored by Rep. Bob Goodlatte, a Republican from Virginia.
The world in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks will provide the backdrop for the American Horse Council convention April 6-9 in Washington, D.C. The official theme for the convention is "2002...A World Changed."
By Ray Paulick -- Good things happened to the horse industry in Washington the same year it spent more on lobbying.
Three industry officials gave their views Thursday night on issues they expect will figure prominently in 2002. It came as no surprise the issues are medication, economics, and legislation.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has adopted the final rules regulating the transport of horses to slaughter facilities. The new rules subject the commercial transportation of these horses to federal regulation for the first time.
The House of Representatives Wednesday night passed money-laundering legislation that didn't include provisions to limit Internet gambling. The provisions offered by the House Financial Services Committee were opposed by the credit-card industry.
The American Horse Council reports that federal legislation has been introduced that would make it a federal crime to transport horses for the purpose of slaughter.

Clearwater River is the name of a river in the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta.
The Clearwater River totals 295 kilometres (183 mi) in length and rises in northwestern Saskatchewan in the northern forest region of the Precambrian Shield. From its headwaters at Broach Lake it flows southeast through Saskatchewan before it turns southwest at Careen Lake. It continues 108 kilometres (67 mi) beyond the Alberta border before it joins the Athabasca River at Fort McMurray. This section of the river in Fort McMurray is also more affectionately referred to as The Chant. From there the Clearwater's waters reach the Mackenzie River and later the Arctic Ocean.
From its headwaters in Broach Lake at 460 metres (1,510 ft) above sea level, the Clearwater drops about 150 metres (490 ft) to its junction with the Athabasca River. The upper part of the river flows over the Precambrian Shield, through rapids, over small waterfalls and through one gorge. More downstream, the river valley enters the Interior Plains and its channels are meandering along sandbars and small islands. The lower Clearwater in Alberta is characterized by high valley walls of limestone and dolomite gorges.
Tributaries of the Clearwater River include Descharme River and McLean River in Saskatchewan and Christina River in Alberta.
Rock-paintings along the upper portion of the river, shapes and symbols on rock surfaces, suggest that this area was already inhabited 5,000 years ago. Before the European colonisation, it was native groups of Beaver, Cree and Chipewyan people who were located here.
During the European exploration and the fur trade of the 18th century, the downstream area of the Clearwater River was an important transportation route between Hudson Bay and Montreal in the east and the District of Athabasca in the west. Farther upstream, the Precambrian upper section was a barrier difficult to overcome by the traders. It was as far back as 1778 that explorer Peter Pond was the first to cross the Methye Portage between Lac La Loche and upper Clearwater River, a 19-kilometre (12 mi) overland link on the route from Churchill to Athabasca. For almost 40 years, this was the only overland connection for the fur trade in this area, and continued to be in use for most of the 19th century as well. See Canadian Canoe Routes (early).
Fish species[edit]
The river's fish species include: walleye, yellow perch, northern pike, lake trout, Arctic grayling, lake whitefish, cisco, white sucker, longnose sucker and burbot.[citation needed]
To conserve the river's value, the province of Saskatchewan has established the Clearwater River Provincial Park (865 mi2; or 2240 km2).[3] The Saskatchewan section was granted Canadian Heritage River status in 1986, and the Alberta section of the Clearwater was designated in 2004.[4] Highway 955 crosses the river in the provincial park.
Regional Aquatics Monitoring Program (RAMP)[edit]
The Regional Aquatics Monitoring Program (RAMP) uses the Clearwater River as a "baseline river system" to provide "information on the variability and characteristics of natural systems" because of the "The lack of significant oil sands developments."[5] The Clearwater River[4] designated as part of the Canadian Heritage Rivers System, flows 187 kilometres (116 mi) from its headwaters in Broach Lake in northwestern Saskatchewan, through Saskatchewan and Alberta and joins the Athabasca River at Fort McMurray, eventually reaching the Mackenzie River and the Arctic Ocean.[4][5]

The problem here is that many want to impose their culture and values into my president, and another thing is that even some of the APCs do quickly forget that PMB statement is a reply to the controversial interview of his wife without his permission, he most keep her out of his politics, and finally, do not forget the statement "My wife" not mine, yours or all women. .. furthermore, We are all witness how PMB respect women by giving them sensitive positions in his government, so as well we can witness his daughters' literacy.

I am a victim of post-traumatic stress disorder and I was seeking treatment. I researched the internet for renowned psychologist who specialize in PTSD and stumbled onto Dr. Anne Speckhard. Her notoriety as a psychologist for PTSD seemed impressive. She has appeared on several media channels and co-authored several books, promoting herself as an expert on PTSD. Thankfully, I looked past Dr. Anne Speckhards fame and found out she has taken advantage of several patients.
She is known for getting her patients to sign a contract relinquishing them of most of their rights, so she can write fabricated books about them for profit. What kind of psychologist takes advantage of a patient during their weakest moments? I should have complained about Dr. Anne Speckhard a year ago, to warn others about her motives. I apologize to anyone who has become a victim to this media hog. I hope other victims will step forward and tell their story, so they can prevent her from destroying others' lives. She is also known for fabricating a person's situation in order to sell her books. Anne Speckhards book ratings appear to be falsified on Amazon and other online book stores.
