I have to stop doing this. Seriously. But Clove won't leave me alone...
This comes from me messing with a scene that never made it into my old story, 'Love is a Battlefield', so my Cato and Clove haven't changed. However this is literally the first time I've written something that isn't in the first person, so don't judge me too harshly...
Make Me Wanna Die
As soon as she finishes eating what she doesn't really want of the too-rich Capitol food, she leaves the table without excusing herself. Nobody in the Training Centre, either this one or the one back home, runs as fast as her, so she's closing the door on her ridiculous escort's protests, her mentors and the second day of training in mere seconds. She wishes she could shut out the Capitol as well, but how can she when the outside wall is made entirely of glass and the panoramic view of the place seems to go on forever?
She scowls and turns her back, but it makes no difference because her mind can still see the image, the endless pastel-coloured buildings and neon-coloured people. She takes the knife she stole off the dinner table from where she'd hidden it, tucked deep in the lining of one of the curtains that are never drawn.
The Avoxes didn't find the knife, neither did anyone else. She's surprised. So much for the all-seeing eye of the Capitol. But maybe they knew and just didn't care. It's not like she could hurt one of the other tributes before the arena and get away with it. They probably knew but didn't want to waste their time.
Either way, she carves her initials into the wall and wonders how long it will take someone to notice that.
She feels slightly better then. For only a second. It isn't enough. After the reaping, it could never be enough. The destruction of the only world she's ever known is all that could be enough now. Realistically, the end of the Hunger Games is the only thing that could allow them both to live. And sometimes she fails to fight the feeling that living without him wouldn't be living at all.
"Selene's pissed off," he says as he calmly strides into the room without knocking.
"Good," she replies. She'd heard his footsteps but she didn't look up. She knew it was him. She always knows. "I don't care."
She turns to look at him and he looks right back at her. The terrified anger she won't admit to feeling shows on her face so clearly he can't even pretend not to see it. He wouldn't want to pretend. If she wasn't angry at something or someone then she wouldn't be her. And what does he care when it's never him she's mad at.
"You've still got that knife then," he observes, speaking like he knew that all along as he edges further into the room without looking away from her even once.
"Get out," she says, and she knows he's thinking she's going to start smashing furniture like she did yesterday. "You can't be here now."
"This is my room."
"Then go to mine."
He shakes his head but doesn't answer. She stands in the corner of the room by the window, watching, always watching with those eyes that have ever stopped people from underestimating her back home. When they first see her, the Victors and the visitors from the Capitol, they don't believe the stories and the rumours. They think she's too small, too weak to do any serious damage to anyone, and that what's said about her is just Vikus' idea of a sick joke.
But then they look into those silver-grey eyes and they know the truth. They see the darkness she's capable of when she wants to be. Besides, he'd argue with anyone who says she's physically weak anyway. He's spent the past six years of his life learning otherwise and has the scars to prove it.
"I can't keep doing this," she says, and though she hates the feeble note in her voice, she wouldn't take it back even if she could. What she said is true, and she's never lied to him.
He storms towards her, because that's the way they do things. Why talk when you can fight? Fighting's a better way of communicating, for them anyway. It makes more sense, and they've long since stopped asking why.
She sees what he's doing before he even moves, and she knows she should stop him, that they can't fight each other here because they're both tributes. In the same Hunger Games. Like she could ever forget.
But she doesn't. Instead she ducks down and dodges away, whirling around behind him and jumping on his back because she knows it's the only way she has a chance of bringing him down. He laughs despite the blade pressed against his throat and reels back into the wall so hard that the pictures lining it all rattle on their hooks.
The impact knocks her breath from her body, but it isn't the first time. She's disappointed when she considers how it might be the last.
"It'll take more than that," she growls, dropping down to a crouch and knocking his legs from under him before he can react as she tries to fight the feeling she has that he isn't really trying. He'd truly see her furious if she knew he was deliberately letting her win.
A split second later she's sitting on his chest, her knees pushed into the front of his shoulders so he can't move. He concentrates on the sharpness of her bones as they dig painfully into him, because doing that helps him forget where they are. And he knows as well as she does that this time they're fighting to forget, just like they were when Peony died. But he can tell simply by looking in her eyes that she's trying to decide if he's letting her win even as she holds her knife to his throat.
"I didn't think being on top was your thing, Nightlock," he says, and she suddenly thinks he looks younger than his years instead of ages older.
He smirks up at her despite the blood trailing into his eye from a cut on his brow she must have given him even though she doesn't remember.
"This is fighting, not…anything else," she snaps back, trying to disguise the hint of uncertainty in her voice which only ever appears when she's talking about that to him.
"Didn't think there was a difference with you," he replies, deliberately leaning up slightly so her knife breaks the surface of his skin.
"You know there's a difference," she says, wondering what she looks like through his eyes when she's like this, when she's torn between wanting him and wanting out of this death sentence in any way she can. "You made the difference."
Then she brings the knife down and cuts the top of his shirt open. Talking like that is too much like talking about feelings, and that's probably the only thing they've never done since the day she met him when she was twelve and he thirteen.
She makes two more cuts, two more marks to add to the countless ones that already cover his olive skin. One is curved and the other straight but with a little flick back towards the other one at the bottom, both together and right over his heart. He doesn't react, doesn't even flinch. She'd be disappointed if he did.
"So you never forget who owns you," she says smugly, shuffling back onto his stomach until he grasps her narrow hips with bruising force and pulls her forwards again.
He leans up without letting her go, knowing his hands will leave imprints and pressing even harder because of it. He smirks when he sees the marks she made. At first they look almost random, but when he looks more closely they form letters. CJ. Clove Jacia.
She meets his eyes in silent challenge, and she isn't surprised when he lifts her up, flipping them over so she's abruptly the one underneath him. He pulls the knife from her tiny hand, knowing the whole time that it's only because she lets him and that if he'd been anyone else then she'd have used it by now. When he raises it up, he eyes her with careful consideration.
"Your turn."
She closes her eyes and the room fades until she can only feel his weight above her. The image of the neon and sickly-sweet pastel Capitol fades to the familiar grey, black and red of home. It crosses her mind that he is home. Then she decides she's starting to sound like Lover Boy and bites the inside of her lip so hard it bleeds. It doesn't distract her from the one who knows her better than she knows herself for long.
She just wishes he wasn't here with her, and half wonders if she'd go back in time and change it so she never met him if she could.
"Don't," he says, pushing her dark hair back from her face just roughly enough so she doesn't snarl in protest at his supposed tenderness. "Whatever you're thinking, don't. Look at me."
She tries to keep her eyes closed, but she can't. She tries and tries, but she can't. Just like always, he's her only failure.
And if she's honest with herself then she wouldn't change a thing.
I had everything
Opportunities for eternity
And I could belong to the night
Your eyes, your eyes
I can see in your eyes, your eyes
You make me wanna die
(Title and song by The Pretty Reckless, just because it fits)

This is just so Jets. New York is contemplating bringing back their former wide receiver Braylon Edwards, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Edwards accumulated 1,445 yards and 11 touchdowns in his 28 games with New York in 2009 and 2010. Edwards recently blasted the Jets' front office on Twitter by way of supporting his former quarterback Mark Sanchez. "Don't blame Sanchez. I played there," Edwards tweeted. "Blame the idiots calling shots. Mark is a beast and will prove it when given a proper chance." Edwards did apologize for the comment the next day, but you'd think the damage was done. Well, not with the Jets. Nothing is out of bounds for Rex Ryan, Mike Tannenbaum and Woody Johnson. After losing Stephen Hill to a sprained knee, the Jets have just Clyde Gates, Mardy Gilyard, Jeremy Kerley, Chaz Schilens and Jordan White left in its wide receiver corps. The team wouldn't even match the one-year $1 million offer the 49ers made Edwards in 2011, and they weren't interested in him when the Seahawks brought him in this offseason. If Edwards does sign with the Jets, he could be their No. 1 receiver as they try to make a playoff push at 6-7.

IWS Part 1: Show me the Money
Mar 13th
Posted by Dustin in Working Independent
In my Independent Worker Series kickoff post, I introduced how the global economy is changing. Now I'm going to start to get to the practical side of this equation. I work with software and my strengths are designing and building systems and leading and working with software teams. I am not well versed in accounting, tax laws or other businessey practices. For me, these were the most intimidating factors when I considered branching out on my own. I was under the false impression that it would cost a lot to build the "infrastructure" I would need to support my own business. My goals when starting up my companies have been to keep costs as low as possible and choose tools that can scale as I need them. I have worked independently in both the US and in Canada and now I'd like to share the basics of getting started and keeping your books for your new business.
Business Structure
There are two types of structures that exist both in Canada and the US that the independent worker might consider, these are the corporation and the sole proprietorship.
A sole proprietorship is the easiest way to start doing business for yourself. The biggest advantage is that in most cases you need not do anything but start providing your good or service. You can just start doing business under your own name and, as long as you have an SSN in the US or SIN in Canada, you can file your taxes. Since you can file your business income with your personal taxes in either country, the cost of administrating a sole proprietorship is extremely low.
A sole proprietorship gets a business off the ground quickly and is easy to maintain, but there are advantages to incorporating. A corporation is a distinct legal entity separate from its owners; therefore, it allows extra protection for the independent worker because the corporation is held liable. In the US I chose to work as a sole proprietor since my potential liability is low and I carry Errors and Omissions insurance. On the other hand, in Canada I have decided to incorporate because there are huge tax benefits since I am an American working in Canada. Having a corporation being the entity doing business and being paid for work allows extra flexibility for how the income of the business is handled. This can lead to some better tax situations for some individuals. A drawback is it is much more expensive to administer a corporation since it is a separate entity from the person doing the work. It is also subject to laws that do not apply to individuals around how taxes are reported and paid. This is where I would seek the consultation of an accountant. A corporation generally costs between $500-$2000 to set up depending on the type and a sole proprietor generally has no upfront cost to establish.
My recommendation is that if you want to try going out on your own or you aren't sure how long you'd like to work independently, be a sole proprietor. If you plan on staying independent or doing independent work even if you are employed by someone else, I would incorporate. Also, depending on your type of work and the potential liability involved, you might choose to incorporate over being a sole proprietor. You can always start as a sole proprietor and transition into a corporation later, so there are options.
For each state or province there may be slightly different laws for setting up your business, check these links for resources for your particular situation.

Invoicing and Collecting
Bringing in the money is, obviously, a vital part of any new venture. I considered using spreadsheets, quickbooks and looked at so
me other pieces of accounting software, but it wasn't until I found FreshBooks that I knew I had met my accounting match.
FreshBooks is an online service who's logo is painless billing. This software has the elements I try to build into my own software: it is amazingly simple to use but has an alarming amount of flexibility and power. With FreshBooks you can manage clients, create project estimates, track time against a project, set up multiple projects and tasks, create and send invoices, track expenses, and report on all your finances. FreshBooks has tiered pricing as many software as a service packages do. For free, you get all the functionality of FreshBooksfor up to three clients and you cannot manage staff. The tiers go up from there, but this meets my goal of little to no cost initially and then scales as I need more from the service.Now that the invoices are out, there needs to be a way to get the money in. I accept money in three ways, a classic check, via PayPal, and credit card via PayPal. The goal here is to allow customers to pay in whatever way they are most comfortable. Being flexible on how payments are received tears down barriers on why a customer should do business with you. Flexible payment options lead to more potential opportunities. In my case I have knowledge that a team in a large corporation might find valuable. If I accept credit cards and price my training correctly, a director may be able to do business with me without any further approvals if I price my training under his discretionary limit he's allowed to use with his corporate credit card.
Tracking Expenses
In order to properly report income, expenses need to be tracked rigorously. I put a lot of rigor into my code, but I tend to lax when it comes to keeping receipts. To my surprise, I found this to be a common situation and there is a great company that is helping to alleviate this headache, one blue envelope at a time.
Sheoboxed.com is exactly what it's name says: an online shoebox for receipts. Sheoboxed takes physical receipts, images of receipts and digital receipts and automatically categorizes and summarizes them all into your digital shoebox. They use OCR technology backed by real humans who verify the data is correct on each receipt. Also, they are international so when I submit a receipt in Canadian funds, they automatically apply the exchange rate at the time of the receipt and convert it to USD for me. It is easy to create expense reports right from shoeboxed as well as export your data to a number of services, including FreshBooks. Paying customers get a blue envelope from shoeboxed and can send in all their physical receipts and shoeboxed will scan, extract the receipt information, and categorize it all as part of their service. They also accept invoices and business cards, essentially digitizing everything they come in contact with.
Another pro tip for easy expense tracking is to dedicate a credit card that is used only or business expenses. Having one source for all your spending records for your company makes it very simple to reconcile against receipts. Many tools will automatically import credit card statement data so it stays up to date automatically.
Now it's time to pull it all together. Using these tools to keep close track of income and expenditures will make tax time a breeze.
If you're in the US, there is another amazing tool that will take the stress out of tax time. Outright.com pulls in all your expenses and paid invoices from a number of services including FreshBooks, shoeboxed, PayPal and your business credit card. It takes all this data and keeps simple numbers to track how your business is doing. Outright also aids independent workers by reminding them when quarterly taxes are do, automatically generating the paperwork for the quarterly and annual taxes, and providing the amounts needed to pay. Also, if you have sub contractors who do some work for you, it will create all your 1099 forms.
I haven't found a similar tool in Canada, so I'm using FreshBooks as my source for all accounting by keeping my shoeboxed expenses imported once every billing cycle (every two weeks) and using the freshbooks reporting to produce the profit and loss numbers. Without outright, I am working with an accountant, also another independent worker!
With these tools I am able to spend 95% of my time on performing actual billable project work and very little time on pure business overhead. Also, I am using the free tier of most of these services so my recurring expenditures remain near 0, but I have the security knowing I can shell out some cash when my business explodes and get the service I need.
In my next post of this series, I'll layout the awesome tools that exist for collaboration on projects. Check it out in:

The Independent Worker Series
Mar 13th
Posted by Dustin in Working Independent
As always, the world is evolving. And with this evolution the way we get work done has rapidly changed also. I remember my father waking up every day at 5am, working a 12 hour day at the factory and coming home. Like clockwork. He did this for his entire working life and it served himself and our family well. Many people today would consider themselves lucky to have this kind of security or consistency with their job, but I consider myself lucky that I have been able to evolve away from this model and recognize that there is a new way of working rising up. And when I say a new way of working, I really mean an old way of working that now has some stellar new tools. Here is a great quote from Robert Paterson's The End of the Job – Networked Economy post:
Back in 1800, 80% of people in America worked for themselves. The rise in industrialization created the Job as the new normal. By 1980, the apogee of the Industrial model, 80% of us had jobs. But look now at what has happened in only 40 years. 40% of us now work for ourselves.
Prior to industrialization, it took many people working independently to accomplish a task. Say you want to build a wagon. the black smith would make the springs, the ribs to support the cover and the axels. The carpenter would build the wheels, the wagon box and tongue. Then a third party might build the canvas top and yet another person might actually assemble the wagon for the person who actually wants the wagon. So in this example there is a hyper local set of skills to accomplish a task. All of these people worked for themselves and the town would have a micro economy to support itself.
Then came industrialization and companies needed guaranteed skill sets on their time so they employed people with those specific skill to support mass production, this is when having a job and an employer became the norm.
Now the work force is leaving this behind and moving back toward an independent way of working. Workers today are just like the artisans of the 1800s, the difference is now there are tools and infrastructure to support the micro-economy that existed in a single town to be on a global scale. My expertise is software, but this model is true for a number of skilled workers. We are now a part of a networked workforce where companies and individuals have a need and a partnership is formed. This lasts the duration of the need and then both parties move on. Rinse and repeat.
So that is some background on where things are and where they will continue to head until some new revolution turns our economy another direction. We have the ability to work with others and share our wares with nearly anyone on the planet. As I mentioned before, I'm a software professional so there are lots of business type tasks that I am not qualified to undertake. My goal with this series of articles is to share a set of tools to aid any independent worker with the tasks that might not fall under their expertise. So grab a cup of coffee, turn down the lights and join me on this journey.

Doing something for the first time
Apr 6th
Technology doesn't slow down. It moves at break neck pace and if you don't stay with the wave, you'll be lost in the surf. In my experience, you have two choices. You stay at the forefront and fresh, or you choose a technology and specialize and risk becoming stale. The latter does have it's benefits and risks, but that's not the topic of this post. What I'm going to discuss is staying in front in technology and in doing so, constantly learning and doing something that you might not have done before.
One of the strengths of any strong software developer is the ability to learn, develop and apply new technologies as the arise and are the correct solution for a problem. Overcoming intimidation associated with the unknown is a crucial trait that will accelerate any technologist into the upper tier in their field. As I moved through my career, I found myself thinking of a lesson my music teacher shared with me when I was very young. After I learned the basics of music and my instrument, we had a lesson about sight reading new music. This is when you get a piece of music that you've never seen before and most likely haven't heard before and are asked to play it. When first asked to do this I was a bit overwhelmed and unsure of how to approach the problem. He laid it out simply:
"Dustin, you have played this before." I looked at him perplexed. He said "You've played every note in this piece, you understand the language of the music on the page. You just haven't played the notes in this order yet." It started to dawn on me. The music started to come together in my head and my fingers instinctively knew what to do. I played the music I had never seen before.
Little did I know at the time how applicable this would be to my chosen carrer in computer science. In university, I learned the basics of logic and programming languages, but what I really learned was how to learn and stay in front of technology. Just as I had built a foundation in music that would allow me to understand and perform any piece put in front of me, I had built a foundation in technology that allowed me to move rapidly and learn new tools to solve the problems in front of me. So now my music are the technical problems I need to solve and my notes are the bits I've learned to manipulate along the way. I understand the underlying concepts of solid software, now I just have to arrange the bits using the tools available (or by creating my own) to compose a solution to the challenges I face.
So maybe this post name is a bit misleading. In software, there are many problems that will be solved for the first time and various technologies there to accomplish this goal, but the reality is that the foundation is the same to achieve these goals.

Friday, Nov. 25 Clippers at Pistons Under 201 1/2 Playing the day after Thanksgiving can be a flat spot for NBA teams since all were idle on Turkey Day. The Clippers, for instance, took in the Vikings-Lions game. The Pistons were enjoying the holiday at home with their minds fresh from the historic announcement that the team will move from the Palace of Auburn Hills to play downtown next season when the new Little Caesars Arena opens. So these teams may not be mentally sharp for this matchup. They also happen to have impressive defensive credentials. The Clippers rank No. 1 in defensive field goal percentage and fourth in scoring defense holding foes to 97.1 points per game. This mark includes holding the Pistons to 82 points in their earlier meeting this season. Detroit ranks 26th in scoring averaging 97.4 points a game. The Pistons are in the bottom-eight in field goal percentage and their free throw percentage is ruined by Andre Drummond. Detroit is one of these bad road-good home team types. The Pistons have surrendered only 88.1 points during their their first eight home contests. They should play with a lot of intensity in this early-season revenge spot. I hope everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving. I'm in action across the board today with an early college football play and side plays in the NBA and NHL. I am 6-2 on my last eight college football premium plays, up 12.3 units on my last 21 NHL plays and up 7.5 units on my last 22 NBA plays.

Two Civil Wars is both an edition of an unusual Civil War--era double journal and a narrative about the two writers who composed its contents. The initial journal entries were written by thirteen-year-old Celeste Repp while a student at St. Mary's Academy, a prominent but short-lived girls school in midcentury Baton Rouge. Celeste's French compositions, dating from 1859 to 1861, offer brief but poignant meditations, describe seasonal celebrations, and mention by name both her headmistress, Matilda Victor, and French instructor and priest, Father Darius Hubert.
Immediately following Celeste's prettily decorated pages a new title page intervenes, introducing "e;An Abstract Journal Kept by William L. Park, of the U.S. gunboat Essex during the American Rebellion."e; Park's diary is a fulsome three-year account of military engagements along the Mississippi and its tributaries, the bombardment of southern towns, the looting of plantations, skirmishes with Confederate guerillas, the uneasy experiment with "e;contrabands"e; (freed slaves) serving aboard ship, and the mundane circumstances of shipboard life. Very few diaries from the inland navy have survived, and this is the first journal from the ironclad Essex to be published. Jeffrey has read it alongside several unpublished accounts by Park's crewmates as well as a later memoir composed by Park in his declining years. It provides rare insight into the culture of the ironclad fleet and equally rare firsthand commentary by an ordinary sailor on events such as the sinking of CSS Arkansas and the prolonged siege of Port Hudson.
Jeffrey provides detailed annotation and context for the Repp and Park journals, filling out the biographies of both writers before and after the Civil War. In Celeste's case, Jeffrey uncovers surprising connections to such prominent Baton Rouge residents as the diarist Sarah Morgan, and explores the complexity of wartime allegiances in the South through the experiences of Matilda Victor and Darius Hubert. She also unravels the mystery of how a southern youngster's school scribbler found its way into the hands of a Union sailor. In so doing, she provides a richly detailed picture of occupied Baton Rouge and especially of events surrounding the Battle of Baton Rouge in August 1862.
These two unusual personal journals, linked by curious happenstance in a single notebook, open up intriguing, provocative, and surprisingly complementary new vistas on antebellum Baton Rouge and the Civil War on the Mississippi.

I stared helplessly as the dorr thuded behind the impossibly powerful man. His arms had rippled with thick muscles, and his thunderous, booming laugh had echoed as it rumbled from his armored chest. My heart thudded to a stop as I heard the clanking of machinery, and some kind of strange noise that I couldn't place. The Princess looked just as worried as I imagined I did, and I started towards the door. I knew it was feutile to try to open, but I tried anyways. The strong guard who had seemingly been on a newly developped steroid simply laughed maniacally.
I fumbled with the door, and my strength built high in my body as I kicked at the iron-wrought door. It was reinforced with a new kind of steel, and my attempts became weaker and weaker as they dragged farther and farther apart from each other. I back away from the room which contained my captured friend. Is he alright? The guy is probably killing him in there! I thought angrily. Something answered my question. It was an unmistakable voice-- I'd heard it before. It was James.
He was... laughing.
The laugh was different than his normal ones. It seemed... odd. There was an edge to it, a kind of doubled sound that made him sound like he was using a double voice-over that made him sound like two people were laughing. The laugh, however, was melancholy. It was bad to hear, for the sound was the equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard. The horrendous sound made me wince in terror, and I gaped as I backed away. The door exploded outwards, flying across the room into the far wall. James now stood in the doorway, looking at the floor.
"J-- James?" I asked. "Buddy? You in there?"
He shook a bit, his shoulders rising and falling. An odd sound was produced from his throat, and I realized it was a chuckle. He looked up, and my heart sank at what I saw. This was not the James I knew.
His face was different-- not physically viewable for the most part, but it was. His mouth was a thin line, the corners upturned in a scary smile. His nose seemed stiffer, and his eyebrows thicker. But the eyes-- oh, the eyes. I stared in shock at them. The brilliant glow that was created by his crimson irises chilled me to the bone. His dark eyelashes brushed over his strange eyes, and I knew that I had no idea who this new James was.
He was alien to me.
I gaped at his frightening pale face, not knowing what to do. "What... what the hell happened... to you?" I asked, shivering. He chuckled again, and I jumped at the sound that pained me.
"I saw the other side's perspective in just minutes," he explained, his voice still doubled. The authoritative sound made it seem like he was possessed. "I was in the wonderful machine tha showed me pictures. Things that you've done behind my back. Manipulative, horrible things. There was a flash of red light, and there were words on the screen that said, 'evil'. I embraced the word, defining it in my head as I walked here. It means morally bad, or wrong, am I right? Well, I'll try to redefine those terms."
"But... James..." I muttered, my heart icing over.
"Sorry," he said. "My orders were clear. I need to kill you." He winked as he used to, a mocking gesture. I shook, my temper rising.
I soon figured out that it wasn't my temper that was rising. It was my tears. They dropped from my eyes, blurring my vision momentarily, and I wiped them away. "How could... you..." I asked. "HOW COULD YOU?!"
"Quite easily, in fact," he said.
"James..." I sobbed. I turned to the man who was responsible. "You'll pay. I swear I'll kill you!"
"No need for swearing," said a new voice. A man stepped out of the room they'd just been in. His black hair was smooth with luster, and his eyes looked aged. Not unlike the sunken eyes of James. I recognized him as the head of the New Government. "I'm the one who is truly behind this occurrence." He smiled.
"You low-life, bottomfeeding, sadistic, son of a--" I started.
"No name-calling either," replied the man.
"I. Am. Going. To. KILL. You." I said, enunciating each distinct word. "Do you hear me? You're going to die!"
Before I started at him, a pair of crimson eyes were staring two inches from my face. "No," said James. "I'll kill you."

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.1 /5 from 49 reviews
We rented the 5 bed suite for my family. It was perfect. this hotel is located close to the top of the mountai, which gave us spectacular views from our room. Also, this hotel features a full bar and restaurant. Dinner was excellent! I will go there again.
Hospitable, excellent food, worth the extra drive time.
This hotel was positioned to get a great rating--affordable, very kind owners, beautiful scenery. Here's why it failed to live up to my expectations: the water in the shower barely trickled and was lukewarm at best. There were four of us traveling together, so this made shower time very unpleasant. Secondly, it was a chilly night and the heat in the room did not work. This made for less than optimal sleeping conditions. Lastly, my family wanted to use the hot tub, but we were told that it took 4 hours to heat up the water and that we could only use it if we stayed another night. That was unfortunate. This place has potential, but unfortunately we found it lacking in more ways than one.
The hotel is basic but has an amazing and cozy lobby with sofa, beer, tv, tables and great atmosphere. The rooms is clean and simple but the view is great and the location too. If you want to get there from villach you need about 25 minutes to drive but the road is beautiful while climbing the mountain

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
Asset Acceptance Corp - Debt CollectorsInternet, Pennsylvania United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I recived a call from Asset Acceptance today stating that I owe over $1000.00 on a Bank of America credit card from 1996. For starters I have NEVER had a card or an account with this bank! He then demaded my bank account number to make a payment. Of course I refused and started asking questions about this. He would not tell me any information about this account, I also requested that information to be sent to me by email or mail and he stated to me that he could not do that. He was telling me that he could take care of this debt at a reduced rate for me today and tried to get my bank info several times. After researching this company online after the call I am very glad that I would not give them any information inculding my address (yes he asked for that also).

In an unprecedented step, the Congress Vice-President convened a meeting of newly-appointed chairmen of screening committees for all states and UTs to set in motion the process that would reflect the "voice of the people".
Party sources said Rahul told the leaders that while deciding candidates the views of local people should be given prime importance and ordinary party workers should be given their due in the selection. "We are taking the decision about giving tickets in a new way, under a new process... Discussions on it about various states have been taking place within our party for a long time.
We are doing this with a formal structure," he told reporters. He said all tickets will be finalised at the national level "very soon for first time as far as deadline is concerned". Rahul is believed to have underlined the importance of giving weightage to common people in decision making in the political processes including deciding candidates.
He is learnt to have impressed upon the broad parameters of candidate selection like no criminal record against them and an experience of right kind of politics along with winnability. Rahul said the screening committees should start their work by the last week of this month so that the meetings of the Central Election Committee could be possible by first week of next month for finalisation of tickets.
The exercise initiated by Rahul comes in the backdrop of the BJP as well as the AAP speeding up the process of selection of candidates for the polls and setting this month as a deadline. So far, Congress has generally been late in deciding the nominees and sometimes they are declared on the last day of filing nominations giving little time for the candidates to prepare for the battle ahead.
Rahul has entrusted party general secretaries Madhusudam Mistry and C P Joshi the job of deciding modalities for the working of the screening committees.

Two masterpieces found their way to us! The first one is an extended (thank god) version of the Kiis FM interview with JoJo, and you know what? It turned out to be one of the best interviews I've heard! Adam is funny ('We're brotha's from anotha mothaaa!'), obviously relaxed and just being himself. He addresses his Twitter obsession, as well as how much he loves his fans (yeah go listen, he totally gets us. Haha!), some verrry random questions about his gloves and how he managed to pull off the long part of Pick U Up without breathing..
Oh, and an interesting piece about how Adam got to know that Michael Jackson wanted to meet him before he passed. And guess what his most embarrassing moment was? (I don't agree. It wasn't embarrassing! It was cool! :D).
The second 'interview' comes from Jingle Ball NY, where Adam once again met up with Jim Cantiello. He seems so laid back and in a happy joking mood; and the fact that these particular snippets are the outtakes from the actual interview makes it even better! The interview already starts off with Adam wondering out aloud what is going on next to them, probably referring to a large media crowd swamping someone – to which Adam quips 'Tayyyylor Swifffffft'.
Next segments shows awkwardness regarding hugs, Adam fangirling over Ke$ha and being terribly amused that she wants to 'have his glambabies', and Longineu's recent twitter plugs over shiny drum sticks. More entertainment ensues when Adam tries to plug an album but doesn't know how to pronounce the band's name and promply 'starts arguing with the cameraman in 3…2…1…' over it.
Plus, more about Kris Allen's mom and Adam ends with a curious description of rockstar life: 'In and out.. really fast.'

The Wildflower Bed and Breakfast in Mountain View, Arkansas (the "Folk Music Capital of the World") is a delightful retreat, with vintage décor and a fantastic breakfast. We have been to the Wildflower a number of times. We stay 5 days at a time. The Inn is located on the Town Square, so there are a lot of places you can walk to, including those around the Square where people are pickin' and singin'. Chris and Shelley are the "new" innkeepers. "New" to us anyway, but they have owned the Wildflower for over a year. Their style is different from Pam and JR, the previous innkeepers, but it is still a fabulous experience. They did a lot of updating in the B&B: new mattresses, bedding, TVs and stuff like that. They refreshed the décor without messing up the vintage feel. The breakfasts are like what you would find at an upscale breakfast place - a fruit course, an entrée course and a dessert course. The cookies that are available in the afternoon are terrific. My husband says: I am quite pleasantly impressed with the new owners. Not only does Chris play a pretty good bass, thereby allowing me to play guitar the way a sensitive and discerning artist of my stature should be, but his wife Shelley puts on a marvelous feast of a breakfast that keeps me full while we endure those long hours settin' on the front porch rocking chairs and shootin' the breeze with some very interesting friends. I am not a musician so I like the relaxing part best.

We stayed at Wildflower B & B for one night only (sadly) It was an AMAZING experience. We were made to feel very welcome. Music on the Porch was great. Breakfast was BEAUTIFUL. This is a very SPECIAL place and everyone should stay here at least once in their lifetime.

Our stay at Wildflower Bed & Breakfast was our first stay at a B&B and it was wonderful!!! Chris was so friendly and welcoming as soon as we arrived, offering so much helpful info about an area we'd never been to before. We loved our room off the porch, getting to visit with other guests and walking the square. Shelley is the most amazing cook......breakfast, snacks, fresh lemonade....all amazing!!! We can't wait for a return visit!

My wife and I have gone to many bed and breakfasts and this is one of the best,very good breakfast, and comfortable bed,and Chris was very knowledgeable of the area

Chris and Shelley were great. Breakfast was fabulous, worth the drive and stay just to have breakfast. Rooms were very clean. Sitting on the porch and getting to visit with the other people that stayed was very nice, Mountain View needs more places to eat for dinner, the two places we ate were not very good.

My new husband and I spent 6 nights in October, our belated honeymoon. We could not have chosen a better place to make our memories -- the food was indescribably delicious, the room was clean, cozy yet plenty of space and had everything we needed, the atmosphere was so welcoming, relaxing and quiet even though located on the square, where the "Hallmark Town" action is. Pam and JR were great hosts, and we loved starting each day with prayer before breakfast. We will definitely be going back. And Thanks Pam for the awesome "Wedding Cake for Two!"

This was the perfect B & B for our first experience. The room was so cute, very clean and quiet even though the B & B is on a corner. Jr and Pam are great hosts and the breakfast was so very good each morning, Could not have been a better experience.

We woke up to the sounds of J.C. Bonds (a Mountain View personality) singing and playing his guitar with guests outside our room on the porch. Hummingbirds flew to the feeders, and after the bell rang, all of us sat down to a buffet breakfast, followed by more music- thanks to the talents of some of the guests singing around the piano (the terrific piano player was also a guest). Did we hit a special moment in September? Maybe not as we were told that other musicians were arriving the next morning. What more do you want when touring through Arkansas?.

New Offensive on Lyme Disease
By ROBERT A. HAMILTON
Published: March 20, 1988
HEALTH and science groups will mount a major offensive against Lyme disease over the next few weeks, in hopes of gaining some measure of control over the tiny tick that causes the trouble.
Ixodes dammini, the deer tick that carries the spirochete that causes Lyme disease, is generally acknowledged to be dangerous from April to October.
The Connecticut chapter of the Arthritis Foundation is sponsoring an educational campaign for the general public, while a new international organization based in Connecticut is turning its attention to doctors.
''One of the problems is there's so much misinformation about Lyme disease, even among doctors,'' said Karen Vanderhoof Forschner of Tolland, the president of the new group, known as the Lyme Borreliosis Foundation.
Mrs. Forschner said that she, her 2 1/2-year-old son and several of her cats and dogs had the disease for months before it was properly diagnosed and that her son might have suffered permanent neurological damage because of the delay in treatment.
''The doctors out here don't even think of Lyme disease because they think it's a shoreline problem, and it's not,'' Mrs. Forschner said. ''Lyme disease is all over the world.''
Nancy L. Considine, the associate director of the Connecticut Arthritis Foundation, agreed. ''From the calls we get, diagnosis is still a problem,'' she said. ''We get calls all winter from people who've just learned they have Lyme disease after being to a couple of doctors who've missed or misdiagnosed the symptoms.''
Mrs. Considine said she had heard from corporations, civic organizations, state agencies, schools, visiting-nurse and public health associations and other groups interested in working on the problem of Lyme disease.
She has even received a request from the Connecticut National Guard to do a special presentation on the disease for the state's troops, who are often literally in the field.
''That kind of thing wasn't happening before,'' Mrs. Considine said. ''There's a lot more awareness.''
The chief entomologist at the Connecticut Agricultural Experimental Station, Dr. Louis A. Magnarelli, said that the laboratory had supported the application of Coulston International, an Easton, Pa., company, to market its powerful tick repellant Permanone in the state, and that he hoped the chemical would be available commercially this tick season.
In addition, Dr. Magnarelli said, his office is working on a urine test to detect the Lyme disease spirochete - current tests are not always effective - and on measures to control the deer tick.
''A major effort is going into control of the tick this year,'' Dr. Magnarelli said.
The State Department of Health Services, meanwhile, is planning a public health education campaign that would include surveillance for the first full tick season, said the department's epidemiologist, Dr. Matthew Cartter.
''Clearly, public health education is important because we don't have any way of controlling the spread of the tick in Connecticut,'' Dr. Cartter said.
Dr. Cartter said that last July, midway through the season, Lyme disease was added to the list of illnesses of which the health department must be notified, and that 214 cases were reported. For most diseases only 20 to 30 percent of all cases are reported, Dr. Cartter said, ''and I wouldn't expect Lyme disease would be any better or any worse in terms of reporting.''
Lyme disease was first identified in the medical literature in 1976, after a Lyme resident, Polly Murray, noticed symptoms in her family and pets that could not be explained by other diseases.
''Over the years, we saw a great many doctors,'' Mrs. Murray recalled. ''We saw doctors in a lot of different specialties, but no one was able to put it all together, to tie together all the symptoms.''
''I used to love gardening, I had a very carefree attitude about long walks in the woods, and we always had a dog,'' Mrs. Murray said. ''I'm a lot more careful now. And we don't have any animals. I just feel there are so many ticks in the area I don't want the problem.''
''It's so bad in the summer, even if you've been nowhere but from your car to your house you can have a tick on you,'' Mrs. Murray said.
The Murrays have suffered no apparent permanent damage from Lyme disease, although the symptoms could reoccur and they could be reinfected.
Lyme disease is caused by a spirochetal bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi. The deer tick that transmits the disease is much smaller than the American dog tick, and in Salem where Dr. Magnarelli's team is surveying the extent of the problem, as many as 30 to 40 percent of the ticks carry the bacteria.
The intensive building in many previously rural towns has helped to spread the problem. People are building on the edge of the woods where the ticks, and their usual hosts, the white-tailed deer and a small forest mouse, live.
The tick's bite is not painful, which, strangely enough, is a problem: people often are unaware that they have been bitten. About 75 percent of the people who contract the disease will display a red rash around the bite, usually within five weeks. But symptoms vary widely, and can include various combinations of heart, nervous system and joint disorders. Victims become irritable, may have difficulty sleeping, and sometimes have headaches and problems concentrating.
Lyme disease can be treated by antibiotics at any stage, but the earlier it is treated the more easily it is treated, and the less chance there is of any permanent damage.
