I stared at them, my so called family. I remembered when "mom" abandoned me in the streets, I remembered everything so clear that it's scary. I watched them in jealousy and loneliness from the forest. I just stared, that was when I saw her, the similar me. The one I didn't knew, my "beloved" twin sister, Renesmee. I softly walked to the house and looked into the window. Mom saw me, she covered her mouth and made Nessie go to bed. I walked to the door and waited. Two minutes later, she opened the door, she stared at me.
"Elisee," she said in shock.
"Mother" I said back at her. She looked around, then she stared at me and slammed the door in my face. I just stood there shocked, then I slowly walked back to the forest, feeling more lonely and unhappy. I collected some leaves, then I lay on them. I bit my lips and got into a little, warm ball, Then I closed my eyes and slept, still a little cold.
By the amazing Charlotte
Yep, My Twin sister is back!

Chapter 5
Jane POV
I froze and murmured a little to myself. Should I keep going or should I turned. Being my dangerous self I decided to keep going. The smell got stronger as I got closer, Ugh, wolf… I tried to slower myself down, but I couldn't. I found myself crashing into the pups. So ungracefully. One of them groaned. I ignored them and got up.
"Pups." I hissed the word out. The older looking one looked at me.
"You're that.."
"Yes, I am that one," I snapped. "Now, got out of my way or I will kill you." I threat. He growled at me. I rolled my eyes and snarled back at him. Ugh, this is so why I hate wolves. I smiled sweetly. Boy is this going to be fun.
"Pain." I said softly. He dropped to the ground and groaned. I laughed as I skipped back him and walked away, Mission Number One: Keep the girl away from Alec. Not complete. Secret Mission: Make an annoying wolf drop in pain, completed. I stopped and touched my throat. I sighed a little. Crap, I am thirsty.
Alec POV
I slowly walked to my room and lay down. I sighed. Why do she have to come back to this life? I jumped up and went to my drawers and pulled out the bow. I gently traced the symbols on it and sighed again. I unlocked it and got out her picture. Her long brown hair wild as she laughed, her brown cat like eyes full of joy. The was the one different between the two half vampire. The new one have cat like eyes, her eyes. I put the picture back in the bow and went back to the couch. I closed my eyes. For once I wished I can sleep. I could still remember that time…
"Rose, my dear Rose." I murmured to myself.
The time when she died….
Elisee POV
After a few hours, we were talking like we always knew each other.
"I see.." I said when dad talked about the past.
"I never knew that you were my daughter too." he continued, then he smiled gently at me. "I am very happy to meet you, Elisee." I could feel the warm fatherly love in those words. I wanted to cry. I let go of all of my pain. But I can't, then I wouldn't be Elisee anymore. I decided to do one thing. I walked to him and hugged him tightly.
"I love you Daddy." I said quietly. "Even if this is the first time." He chuckled and pat me on the back. Then suddenly the door opened.
"Edward, where is Elisee?" said a excited voice. I let go of Daddy only to be hugged back someone else.
"You're Elisee, right?" said the person. I slowly nodded. "Oh, sorry!" The person let go of me. I looked at the person, it was a female. She was very pretty like all vampires. Behind her was a blond male, he stared at me and raised an eyebrow.
"I am Alice!" the girl said.
"You're Mom's best friend" I said slowly. "And family." She grinned at me, then she frowned slightly.
"Have you already meet the Volturi?" she asked me. I stared at her in confuse.
"She did." Dad said quietly. Alice sighed.
"Then now we have to keep her away from them." she said. I raised an eyebrow and was about to ask when Nessie ran in.
"Mom is home!" she said. Then suddenly the blond dude and Dad grabbed me and tossed me in a closet. Before they left me there, Dad said,
"Oh, this is Jasper." pointing to the blond dude. I nodded.
"Nice to meet you." I said, then they shut the door and left me in the dark. What the hell? Well, at least I am not tied up as I lean over to listen to them.
Bella POV
"I am back!" I said as I walked in. Edward smiled me, then he gently kissed me on the forehead.
"Welcome home, Bella." he said. Alice jumped up and down.
"Bella!" she said then she hugged me. "Can you do me a favor?" she said sweetly. I groaned, 'doing a favor' means being a dress up doll..again.
"Hey Mom." said Nessie, yes I got used to it. I moved away from Alice and went and hugged Nessie.
"Nessie, how are you today?" I said smiling.
"Where did you go?"
"I went….with Jack." she said.
"You haven't mean any girl that looks like you?"
"Good." I sighed in relief, then I went upstairs to change, not hearing the quiet sighs of relief from the others.
Elisee POV
I lean back and sighed. She don't want me. Why? What did I do that is so wrong? I thought to myself as I drifted to sleep.
Seth POV
I went to Jake and helped him up.
"Are you ok, dude?" I asked him. He weakly nodded. I put his arms around me and started to walked back. I thought to Leah, Need a little help here, sisshe thought back. I sighed, that little vampire girl is dangerous.
Got it, coming,
Alec POV
I drifted back into the memory, the same memory that always threats me every second of my days:
"Drink from me." Rosemarie said as she leaned closer to me. "You need it."
I slowly shook my head and backed away.
"I can't, Aro…and I don't want to hurt you." I said to her. She didn't listen and gently grabbed my hand. Her brown eyes looked right at my red ones. Her blood singing for me. I then couldn't take it anymore. I gently pulled her closer to me. Then I went to her neck and bit her. Drinking her sweet blood. Then suddenly everyone came. Jane stood back Aro's side, she stared at me with an I am sorry face. Felix walked over to us, he quickly shot me a I-am-sorry face and I know what was going to happen.
"No!" I shouted, but I was too late. He ripped her head out. Her brown eyes froze with fear. Then it went blank as he dropped it on the floor. Her warm body went cold and lifeless and it too was kicked down to the floor by Felix. All I could do was sitting there froze. She is gone, my one, true love is gone.
haha xD yay!
Chapter 6
Leah POV
I ran to where my brother is and stared at Jake.
"What happen?" I asked as I helped him. Seth shook his head and sighed.
"A vampire." he said. I bit my lip and sighed.
"Those bloodsuckers…" I murmured to myself as I carried Jake back to the pack, his pack.
"It was only one." said Seth.
"A little blond girl."
"..I see" I said as I dragged Jake. "Hey Seth, help here. He is almost heavy as an ten feet elephant!" I yelled.
"Hey, I not that heavy." Jake murmured. I rolled my eyes and hit him in the head.
"Shh" I said. Seth laughed as he went over and helped me. I sighed in relief and continued to walk.
Elisee POV
I woke up to found myself in a bed. I blinked and looked around, only to see Nessie's face in front of me. I yelled and tumbled into the ground. Nessie stared at me for a moment, then she pointed and laughed.
"That was soo not funny." I said with a little pout.
"So was!"
"So isn't"
"BOTH OF YOU QUIET DOWN UP THERE!!" said dad quietly, but it echoed in the room.
"Sorry!!!" we both yelled at the same time. Then we looked at each other and glared at each other. I turned and walked out of the door. When suddenly a hand covered my mouth. I froze then I bit down hard on the hand. And for once I was glad to be a vampire.
"Hey!" said a voice as the hand moved away. I turned to see an.. ummm… ummm…big dude. He grinned at me and pat me on the back.
"Dangerous, aren't you?" he said with a chuckle. I just stood there and stared at him. "Oh, sorry!" he said "I'm Emmett." still with that big, wide, happy smile. I never saw anyone like this Emmett.
"I'm Elisee." I said.
"Elisee?" he asked back. I slowly nodded. His grin widen. "Nice to meet you Elisie!" I nodded again.
"Me too." I said then I looked down and walked away. Only to crash into someone else.
"Ah, sorry!" I said as I quickly got up and helped the girl up. She looked up at me and frowned slightly.
"It's ok" she said as she stared at me. I stared back, she was beautiful! With wavy long blond hair and prefect features. All I did was stared, finally I snapped out of my shock.
"Are you ok?" I asked. Stupid me! Of course she's ok. Stupid, stupid me…
"Of course." she said as she looked down at her perfect nails. "You're that new girl, Elisie right?"
"Elisee" I corrected her.
"So you're her?" I nodded, why is everyone asking me if I was Elisee. Of course I am. I switched from being sweet to being my old self.
"Duh, who else would look like Renesmee?" I said as I put my arms on my knees and rolled my eyes at her. She froze, but then a small smile went on her lips.
"I like you," she said. I straighten up.
"I like you and your attitude, girl" she said, then she rolled her eyes. "Better than when she," she turned to a picture of mom. "was a normal, so blah." I laughed.
"I see." I said. "Thanks.. I guess"
"I am Rosalie by the way." she said. "What to talk, you can come to me, a bad girl is better with another bad girl" then she turned and walked away. I watched her go. A bad girl, huh, I thought to myself as I went downstairs. I saw a flash of someone out the corner of my eyes, but when I turned, there was no one there. I gazed at the window, then I shrugged and continued my way to the kitchen. It smelled like heaven. My mouth began to water as I took in the yummy smell. I looked around the kichen and saw another beautiful woman. She saw me and smiled. Then she dropped whatever she was holding and went over and hugged me.
"Nessie have told me a lot about you." she said. Then she let go of me and studied me. "You look just like her except for the eyes." he said gently.
"My eyes?"
"Yeah, your eyes, dear"
"What about them?"
"They are that of a cat's, very rare, very beautiful." I stared at her. Cat eyes? I thought I have Mom's eyes. Well..I do, but it's catish. I shook away my thoughts and smiled at her.
"Thank you, umm.."
"Esme." she said motherly.
"Thank you Esme." I said then I looked around again. "what's for breakfast?"
Seth POV
We put him down and throw cold water at me. Don't ask me why, I don't know really. Jake coughed and jumped up glaring at both me and Leah. Leah chuckled a little and I gave him an sorry look before I went outside again. I phased and ran around the forest, feeling free. I laughed/purred as I ran faster. Then suddenly I crashed into a big rock or is only a rock?
Awesome ;)
Loved it!!
Chapter 7
Elisee POV
After I said my thanks to Esme, I decided to go on a walk. I looked around the forest, dazed by my old home that I would so want to live in again. I skipped around absent-minded when I bumped into someone and tripped over a rock. My eyes widen as I looked down to see a wolf. I quickly got up.
"Sorry!" I murmured to the wolf.
It stared at me and tilted its head. Then it walked closer to me and nudged me. I hesitated for a moment, but then I leaned down and ran my hand in its fur. It felt warm and soft under my fingers as I cuddled closer to it and pressed my head close to its face.
Seth POV
I stood there frozen, moments after I found out that the "rock" was Elisee. My heart speeded up as she lean closer to me, so close to my face. Even if I am in Change, that doesn't mean that I would care, of course I would. I nudged her on the head and stared at her. Her eyes were gentle but was full with sadness. I couldn't stand her being so sad, so I nudged her hard, then I turned to run. Knowing that she was following. She was almost silent except for the crumpling of leaves. Suddenly she pounced on me playfully and without me knowing I changed back.
"What the- Seth?" she said as she got up and frowned down at me. I almost thought that she was going to snarl or hiss at me, but she only said,
"Are you ok?" She sat on a rock and stared at me.
"Umm, I guess." I murmured to her as I got up. She just stared at me. "So..you're a wolf?" she asked. I slowly nodded and looked away from her.
"That's nice." she said softly. "You get to run free."
I turned back and looked at her to see her looking at the sky.
"Something is going to happen I can feel it, something that will make a big different." she continued, she glanced back at me. "When that time come, there is no turning back. Do you hear me?"
"Why are you telling me this?" I asked her.
"Because I feel like I can trust you." Elisee said, then she turned and vanished away from my sight in a speed that I never saw before, she was faster than Edward. Not leaving a trace of her at all. But everywhere she stepped, the grass turned greener and it almost turned into spring. She is special, that Elisee. But before my eyes, the grass turned crumpled and yellow, all the trees lose their leaves. A tormented chirp echoed the forest, I glanced up to see a bird dropping down from a tree…..dead. I sniffed the air, my eyes widen when I saw it, a fire. I changed and began to run to warn the others. Who dare hurt this forest?
Elisee POV
I ran from the forest, something is wrong. A scream echoed the forest. Blood poured into my ears. I covered them to stop the screaming. But then realized it was me. I panted and turned back and ran in the forest. Birds screams entered my body.
"Stop it!" I screamed out. My cold body became warmer into it was burning. This isn't right. The birds yelled in my ears, but I could hear them.
I going to die.
I tumbled to the ground, the world began to spin and became unforced. A few birds flied around me still screaming. I only get a few words.
"Run, Elisee. Run!" yelled one that got me focus. I unsteady got up and began to run. I turned to see the same red bird that first talk to me
"Faster" it yelled again. "Faster!" I speeded up, I suddenly feel like a bird. I spread my arms out and continued.
"Now, FLY!"
I turned and stared at it in confuse.
"Fly" it said again, then it pecked me. I jumped up and continued to flapped my arms, then suddenly I was flying.
I rolled my eyes at it and glared.
"Aren't you little Ms. Bossy." I said to it as I flapped harder, it felt so good. Then suddenly someone grabbed me, jerking back to the ground. My head slammed against a rock. That was when everything went black.
hehe, glad you like it I guess? :)

The Rolling Stones have denied that they are headlining Glastonbury Festival 2013, and have also denied that they plan to retire.
It was much rumoured that as part of their 50th anniversary tour, they would headline the festival.
Speaking with The Guardian, the band's representatives insisted there is no truth to the claims and they also said the band would not be playing the festival.
The Glastonbury Press Office has also said
"Everybody in the year off thinks they've come up with the perfect Glastonbury lineup. But at the moment there isn't anything to confirm or deny."

Loreen Murphy hadn't meant to hire a male prostitute in Las Vegas. It was all just a big, stupid, expensive misunderstanding.
The night had started out pretty normal. There was no visibly strange alignment of stars, no static electricity in the air, nothing to warn anyone that things were about to turn so weird.
She, along with other parents--mostly mothers--of the Tuckerman Elementary School band members from Travilah, Maryland, was in Las Vegas, where the kids were competing in a National Battle of the School Bands. Loreen, as the PTA treasurer,

Day 5 of White History Month: The War on Drugs - Racist Origins of Drug Policy
[Images: New York Times: February 8, 1914, "The Mascot" New Orleans, August 3, 1889, The Ogden Standard: September 25, 1915, Washington Post: March 8, 1896], ACLU, "The War on Marijuana in Black and White" (pdf)]
"Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men" – Harry J. Anslinger
"Most marijuana smokers are Negroes, Hispanics, jazz musicians, and entertainers. Their satanic music is driven by marijuana, and marijuana smoking by white women makes them want to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers, and others. It is a drug that causes insanity, criminality, and death — the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind."- Harry J. Anslinger
"Anglo-American women having intimate relations with unknown Chinese laborers and vice operators bordered on the unthinkable. Songs about just such events existed during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. For example, in "Chung Hi Lo and Mary," a young white woman, Mary, entered Chung Hi Lo's opium den out of curiosity. There "he slipped her a ring, a golden thing" and quickly addicted her to opium." - Diana Ahmad, The Opium Debate and Chinese-Exclusion Laws in the American West
The history of criminalization of drugs in the United States has racist origins. While drugs are undeniably harmful, recreational drugs were tolerated for much of U.S. history. Linking Chinese Americans, Black Americans, and Latin@ (particularly Mexican) Americans to drug use served dual purposes: further justification for racist demonization and the creation of moral panics to outlaw drug use. Drug use was commonly linked to the white fear that men of color would "seduce" and have children with white women.
In the 1900s, the temperance movement and Progressive drug reformers did not seek to spread the nature of the typical drug addict of the time – a middle-aged, middle-class white woman in a rural area who obtained drugs from a physician. Instead, drug users were depicted as Chinese, Black, or Mexican. Today, race is still inseparable from drug policy and the War on Drugs.
Opium and Chinese-Americans
Opium had been imported and used by white Americans for many years. In 1803 morphine was discovered, and in 1853 the hypodermic syringe was invented, increasing its popularity. Morphine and laudanum (a tincture of opium) were often abused by white Americans. In 1874, Felix Hoffman discovered heroin and in 1898 Bayer began to sell it. Heroin was marketed it as a pain medicine, cough suppressant, and morphine substitute.
The first anti-opium laws – and first drug laws in the United States - targeted Chinese immigrants in the 1870s. Opium-smoking was largely practiced by Chinese-Americans, while white Americans instead used morphine and laudanum – which were not outlawed by these laws.
Chinese-American men were said to "lure" white women to opium dens in Chinatown. Chinese immigrants have largely been portrayed as a threat to Western values and mores. Smoking-opium was stretched as a rationable to demonize Chinese immigrants. Opium was linked to stereotypes of Yellow Peril (opium was said to corrupt white Americans and disrupt the American way) and Perpetual Foreigner (opium was seen as incompatible with Christian life, rendering Chinese Americans unassimilable). Eliminating opium was even used as justification to restrict (and eventually stop) Chinese immigration.
Cocaine and Black Americans
The first anti-cocaine laws targeted Black men in the Southern US in the 1900s. Cocaine became associated with Black Americans, who were said to commit horrible crimes under the influence of cocaine (as well as marijuana).
Later, the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 created the large disparity – of 100 to one - between powder cocaine and crack cocaine sentencing guidelines. This meant that it would 1000 grams of cocaine to obtain the same sentence for 10 grams of crack cocaine. It was not until the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 that the 100:1 weight ratio was reduced to 18:1 - meaning that it takes 180 grams of cocaine to obtain the same sentence as for 10 grams of crack cocaine.
Of course, crack cocaine was also more widely used by Black Americans. Black Americans were also far more likely to distribute crack cocaine than powder cocaine.
One reason given by Congress for the disparity included pregnant women consuming crack cocaine during pregnancy (resulting in so-called "crack babies"). The epidemic of "Crack Babies" was associated with Black. Pregnant women who used drugs were convicted of delivering drugs to a minor. In reality, the development of these children had less to do with crack cocaine and much to do with other circumstances. The Maternal Lifestyle Study found that - after controlling for other factors - crack cocaine and cocaine had no significant effect on behavioral problems. Observed differences were dependent on other mediating variables such as prenatal care and the environment in which children were raised, but the Reagan administration was more focused instead on rolling back assistance for poor mothers.
The Reagan administration's obsessive focus on cocaine took place while the CIA was involved in drug trafficking and complicit in the dealing of cocaine to poor Black communities in the United States.
[No, despite demonization of Black Americans and Gary Webb, this is not a conspiracy theory - read Dark Alliance and This is Your Country on Drugs for more.]
Marijuana: Mexican and Black Americans
Cannabis was grown since European settlers arrived in the United States. Founders such as Thomas Jefferson and George Washington grew and used cannabis. In the early 1800s, hemp was the second most produced crop after cotton. It was an extremely labor-intensive crop – the slave labor of Black Americans was necessary for its production. The ending of formal slavery (and free labor) made it less profitable as a crop. Until moral panic hit in the early 1900s, cannabis was still prescribed for many medical conditions.
The timing of this moral panic is relevant: it coincided with both the Mexican Revolution of 1910 and the popularity of jazz.
After the Mexican Revolution, Mexican immigrants brought marijuana with them to the United States. Marijuana was said to make Mexican immigrants commit violent acts of crime. During the Great Depression, reports emerged that connected marijuana use with violent crime and social deviance. Soon after the Mexican revolution, marijuana spread to New Orleans and became popular in the jazz scene. Jazz musicians often were paid with marijuana and alcohol for their performances. Additionally, many jazz musicians used marijuana recreationally.
Harry J. Anslinger - the first commisioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics - was largely responsible for racist themes linking marijuana use to Black and Mexican Americans - particularly emphasizing the fear of racial mixing with white women.
Today, long after the days of Anslinger, there are large racial disparities in the penalties for marijuana possession (among other racial disparities in the criminal justice system).

The Green Party of Canada represents a vision Canadians deserve to set henceforth into fruition. What does the Green Party need to do in order to grow? Young people, like myself, overwhelmingly claim to support the Green Party, but we have yet to harness this unfulfilled potential. The aim for my tenure as President will be to help lay the foundation for the Green Party to grow with young people and with first generation Canadians such as myself. Also, we need to aim to change the current image of a one-issue party that many Canadians hold towards the Green Party. Together, with your ideas, we can lay a strategy to secure a bright future for the Green Party, and in turn, for Canadians.

Listeners tuning in to KCSN's new HD2 radio station will notice something once unheard of but increasingly common in American culture: Spanish and English being spoken — and sung — together, almost interchangeably.
One day recently, for example, the Cal State Northridge public radio station played "Hypnotized," an erotically chill trip-hop track by the British band Morcheeba, sung in English, with Chile's Ana Tijoux adding a Spanish-language rap.
A quarter-hour later, KCSN fired up "Cinco Minutos Con Vos" (Five Minutes With You), an elegiac dub/neo-soul tune by Elvis Costello and the Roots, performed mainly in English but with a haunting Spanish-language guest vocal by Marisoul of the red-hot L.A. band La Santa Cecilia, a 2014 Grammy nominee.
PHOTOS: Celebrity portraits by The Times
On all but a handful of radio stations, as in the vast majority of network television shows and Hollywood movies, English and Spanish are still strictly segregated. But by launching its new "Latin alternative" music format, KCSN seeks to blur that barrier and cater to young U.S. Latinos, as well as a growing number of non-Latinos, who regularly consume pop culture in two or more idioms.
The public, nonprofit station bills itself as the country's first English-language radio channel to play progressive Latin music around the clock. CSUN officials believe the big question isn't so much whether their format will succeed, but why no one had tried it before. The new station launched Nov. 8 with a live in-studio performance by Los Lobos, the paragon of bilingual alt-rock bands.
"I find it uncanny," says Sky Daniels, the public radio station's up-tempo general manager. "No one in this market serves any modern Latin musical tastes. I mean, you have norteña formats, you have pop formats. But you don't have a 24-7."
KCSN's new radio station resembles other recent initiatives by U.S. media outlets to attract 18- to 34-year-old Latinos by programming Latin-centric content that's spoken in English, Spanish or, in some cases, a free-flowing combination of both. Fox News Latino, ESPN Deportes and the just-launched Fusion entertainment and news cable network, a joint venture of Disney/ABC television network and Univision Communications Inc., all are attempting to reach young, assimilated Latinos, a demographic much-coveted by advertisers.

By adopting HD technology, KCSN hopes to match its content with a delivery system that will allow it to reach that demographic more easily.
HD Radio is a digital broadcast that's "embedded" into the analog AM or FM radio signal, creating a static-free sound similar to that of satellite radio. HD channels reside on the dial just a fraction above or below their AM and FM analog siblings.
According to iBiquity Digital Corp., the Maryland-based company that holds the HD Radio trademark, 28 automobile brands, comprising 148 different models, currently offer HD radio technology or have announced that they will.
PHOTOS: Behind the scenes of movies and TV
More than 2,100 U.S. radio stations are equipped with HD Radio technology, including Pasadena-based KROQ (106.7 FM). Last year, the music news website the Top reported that iBiquity has developed working prototypes of HD-equipped mobile phones.
Marketing research repeatedly has shown that young Latinos, one of the country's fastest-growing demographics, have tended to bypass laptops in favor of accessing the Web on less-expensive mobile devices.
"There's 40,000 kids that go here — they never look up," Daniels says, referring to CSUN's student population, which is 40% Latino. "They have their smartphone, they have either their earphones or headphones. And they're navigating without looking up, and they're listening to mobile entertainment."
Daniels says it's still too early for KCSN to commission a survey to see how the new format is faring.
"Latin alternative" is a slippery term that encompasses several genres, including Latin alternative rock, electronic dance music, indie pop, rock en Español and fusions of salsa, soul, funk and Caribbean dance rhythms. A number of L.A. radio stations occasionally play some, or all, of these genres, but mostly on one- or two-hour weekly programs. Meanwhile, Southern California's Spanish-language programming is dominated by talk radio, commercial pop and rock, and traditional regional music such as ranchera and norteña.
CSUN officials are backing the new HD2 station (which also live-streams at http://www.LatinAlt.org) for a number of reasons, including the school's large Mexican American and Central American student population.

Croatia has recently been on a lot of up-and-coming lists, and deservedly so. This small country along the Adriatic offers so many unique experiences, coupled with great food, stunning natural wonders and super-cheap prices.
We stumbled across the town of Karlovac when we were on our way to Plitvice Lakes National Park. It turned out to be a completely unexpected gem of our journey. The town had been hit quite hard in the war and many buildings still had pockmarks of gunfire. It's set on the convergence of two rivers. Residents of the town congregate at both rivers, fed by the same mineral-rich water that makes Plitvice look so other-worldly.
If you follow the perfectly clear waters of this river, you'll come to Plitvice Lakes National Park. It is like being on another planet. The water is translucent, an icy blue to a frothy green. The scenery changes abruptly from lush, waterlogged ferns and moss to sheer cliff faces to caves that go in every direction. Having been to a great many national parks around the world, I can safely say I've never seen anything remotely like this place. Although it's quite far from the more popular coastal towns, this unusual UNESCO World Heritage Site is well worth the extra effort to get there.
Of course, the coast is popular for good reason. Towns like Pula, Rovinj, Sibenik and Split have it all, from protected waterways that were homes to former politicians and were used to entertain the rich and famous of the world to Roman ruins just hanging out next to a grocery store. Croatia's slowly increasing popularity allows it to not take things too seriously. Even though many restaurants have menus in English, the country still sees itself as a workaday place, rather than purely a tourist attraction.
Many people go to Hvar, off the coast near Split. We found a better deal on the small island of Brac. In the evenings, people walk down the long, white-stone promenade in to the small town of Bol at the harbour. Along the other side of the island is the famous Zlatni Rat, a beach that juts out into the sea dramatically. The area is hugely popular with kitesurfers, and watching them is a great way to pass the time.
It's not expensive to get to Croatia, simply use the trick of flying to any major city in Europe on a good sale and then booking a low-cost flight out of there. A growing number of airlines fly from London to Split, Dubrovnik and Zagreb.

World Network of Users and Survivors of Psychiatry
The World Network of Users and Survivors of Psychiatry (WNUSP) is an international organisation representing, and led by "survivors of psychiatry". As of 2003, over 70 national organizations were members of WNUSP, based in 30 countries.[1] The network seeks to protect and develop the human rights, disability rights, dignity and self-determination of those labeled 'mentally ill'.
WNUSP has special consultative status with the United Nations. It contributed to the development of the UN's Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.[2][3] WNUSP has produced a manual to help people use it entitled "Implementation Manual for the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities", edited by Myra Kovary. [4]
WNUSP joined with other organizations to create the International Disability Caucus, which jointly represented organizations of people with disabilities and allies during the CRPD negotiations. WNUSP was part of the steering committee of the IDC, which maintained a principle of respecting the leadership of diverse constituencies on issues affecting them, and also maintained that the convention should be of equal value to all persons with disabilities irrespective of the type of disability or geographical location. Tina Minkowitz, WNUSP's representative on the IDC steering committee, coordinated the IDC's work on key articles of the CRPD, including those on legal capacity, liberty, torture and ill-treatment and integrity of the person. Since the adoption and entry into force of the CRPD, WNUSP has worked with other organizations in the International Disability Alliance and its CRPD Forum to guide the interpretation and application of the CRPD on these issues.[5]
In 2007 at a Conference held in Dresden on "Coercive Treatment in Psychiatry: A Comprehensive Review", the president and other leaders of the World Psychiatric Association met, following a formal request from the World Health Organization, with four representatives from the user/survivor movement, including Judi Chamberlin, co-chair of WNUSP, who participated in her personal capacity.[1]
Salam Gomez and Jolijn Santegoeds are the current Co-Chairpersons of WNUSP.
Current International Representative and former co-chair of WNUSP is Tina Minkowitz, an international advocate and lawyer.[6] She represented WNUSP in the Working Group convened by the UN to produce a draft text of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities [7] and contributed to a UN seminar on torture and persons with disabilities [8][9] that resulted in an important report on the issue by Special Rapporteur on Torture Manfred Nowak in 2008.[10]
Core values[edit]
The core values of WNUSP, in representing a diversity of perspectives within the user/survivor movement or psychiatric survivors movement, guide its activities and assists in determining the focus of the network. These values stress human rights, equality, self-determination, respect, dignity, independence, mutual support, self-help, advocacy, education, and the right to pursue individual spiritual beliefs.
WNUSP values exposure to information and knowledge as means to enabling empowerment and individual self-direction, understanding that knowledge results in better-informed choices and opportunities to enhance quality of life. The network ascribes to person-centred values where the individual is more important than any diagnostic label or experience in dealing with the mental health system. WNUSP believes the experiences of living with madness or mental health problems can be valuable in exploring human experience, both to individuals and society, and that those suffering distress may offer invaluable insights to necessary changes in mental health diagnosis, treatment and laws.
Since the 1970s, the psychiatric survivors movement has grown from a few scattered self-help groups to a world-wide network engaged in protecting civil rights and facilitation of efforts to provide housing, employment, public education, research, socialisation and advocacy programmes. The term 'psychiatric survivor' is used by individuals who identify themselves as having experienced human rights violations in the mental health system. WNUSP was established to further promote this movement and to respond on an international level to the oppression survivors continue to experience.
After initially meeting, in 1991, as the World Federation of Psychiatric Users at the biennial World Federation for Mental Health conference in Mexico, the network's name was changed to WNUSP in 1997. In 2000, the WNUSP Secretariat was established in Odense, Denmark. In 2001, the network held its First General Assembly in Vancouver, British Columbia, with 34 groups from twelve countries represented, and adopted its governing statutes.
In 2004, the network held its Second General Assembly in Vejle, Denmark with 150 participants from 50 countries attending.
In 2007 WNUSP received ECOSOC special consultative status at the United Nations.
In 2009, WNUSP held its third General Assembly in Kampala, Uganda. It adopted the Kampala Declaration stating its positions on the CRPD, which was later expanded into a longer version adopted by consensus of the board and the participants in the Kampala GA.[11]
The European Network of (Ex)Users and Survivors of Psychiatry is the most important European NGO of (ex-)users and survivors. Forty-two representatives from 16 European countries met at a conference to found it in the Netherlands in October 1991. Every 2 years, delegates from the ENUSP members in more than 40 European countries meet at a conference where the policies for the coming period are set out. All delegates are (ex-)users and survivors of psychiatry. ENUSP is officially involved in consultations on mental health plans and policies of the European Union, World Health Organization and other important bodies. Initial funding came from the Dutch government and from the European Commission but has since proved more difficult to secure. ENUSP is involved in commenting and debating declarations, position papers, policy guidelines of the EU, UN, WHO and other important bodies.[2]

The Grand Forks Police Department has learned that the person of interest in a vehicle theft on Wednesday is a prior domestic partner of the victim. Shortly after 12:30 on Wednesday afternoon a woman called police reporting her vehicle was stolen from the Hugo's parking lot on South Washington Street. She also said her 5-year-old daughter was in the stolen vehicle.
After a short period of time, the stolen vehicle was located on the south end of Grand Forks unoccupied. A search of the area turned up the missing 5-year-old child. The child was checked out by medical personnel and appeared to be unharmed.
As police investigated, they found that this was an isolated incident that didn't involve a stranger, and the two people knew each other. The Grand Forks Police Department does have a person of interest and continues to investigate.
Three Grand Forks Elementary schools were put on lockdown, as a precaution, as officers searched for the suspect in this case.

Here's how to start a photography business on a limited budget, with minimum experience, with minimum knowledge, with limited resources, and most of the other costly resources, often thought, needed to successfully start a photography business.
This model is simple, effective and very affordable (as in, free or very low-costs). It's written with the assumption that the readers of this content are photography enthusiasts that:
Don't have a photography studio.
Are new to the business side of photography.
Have limited photography equipment.
Have limited 'professional' photography experience and knowledge.
Don't know where or how to start a photography business.
Don't know how to set their pricing for photography.
Don't know how to get customers.
Other assumptions are that, as a photographer, you want to:
Be taken seriously
Be more confident
Present a confident and professional image as a photographer (although you're new at this)
Have increased name recognition
Have a commercial web presence (as in, it's O.K. to make a few bucks) without the technical hassles
Try some successful part-time photography business strategies that cost as little as possible and still are effective
This photography business model is not for everyone. This model involves establishing an internet presence (not just a website) that has the capacity to display work, share or sell photos, and assist in the establishing of prices. This model does not offer steps on how to start a full-time photography business.
Take a look at this great FREE 6 day course on how to start a photography business that fits your style. Here's a sampling of what you'll Learn...
How to pick lucrative markets that will support the creative, fun, and profitable lifestyle you seek.
How to pick lucrative markets that will support the creative, fun, and profitable lifestyle you seek.
How to choose the right equipment for minimum investment and maximum profit.
How to develop a style that sells, and sells, and sells!
How to market yourself effectively and continuously work your way up to higher and higher fees.
How to get started fast while avoiding mistakes.
The simple but effective steps to successfully start a photography business.
All photographers, experienced and amateur, that want to be taken seriously, must have a 'web presence.' This business model is largely based on having a web presence. However, it isn't limited to only doing business online. More on that later on this page.
Set Up Online Account
This step will involve you deciding whether to use the free online photo sharing services like Google, Yahoo, Flickr, Photobucket, etc. Or deciding to use an online photo sharing services like Printroom.com, Shutterstock.com, SmugMug.com, etc, which cost money. Either method will allow you to be successful with this model. However, the services that you pay for, obviously, have many advantages. (If you're just looking to test out the effectiveness of thisbusiness model without incurring any expenses, I recommend that you start with the free online sharing services.)
Practice uploading photos, making online albums, making online galleries, etc.
Practice setting prices (you can't set prices on the free services – viewers can purchase your photos, but you won't get any money for it). On the paid services you can set photo prices (most of the services suggest a basic price for each size photo – you decide the amount of profit and set it in the price that the viewer will see). Also, with paid services, make sure to set the pricing for the photo specialties that most of these services offer, for example, mugs, key chains, t-shirts, puzzles, etc. Note: the specialties are nice and offer options to your customers, but, properly pricing your photos is one of the most significant purposes of using paid services. There can be exceptions, such as Sports Photography, which I mention later.
I recommend that you design and produce your own business cards. If you don't have confidence in your designing skills, don't fret! Simply look at great looking business cards that you see and model yours after that style. Use a desktop publishing software program.
I design and produce my own business cards using an HP inkjet printer. I use glossy business card stock (either Avery or the store brand of the large office supplies stores). Technology has dramatically improved. Self printed business cards can convey quality and professionalism (I stay away from the flimsy business card stock) in a manner impossible just a couple of years ago.
Determine your basic information needs. You do not have a photography studio or other physical location – so, there is no need to put a physical address on your business card. I suggest that you give good thought to including an email address on your business card. If you have a website, then you can use a 'Contact Us' form. I suggest that you establish a dedicated email address that you include on your business card (if you decide that you must do so).
Email note: you should get into the habit of getting the email addresses of your potential customers. Sure, give them yours, if that's a part of your marketing strategy. But, make sure that you ask them for theirs. Why? Because, in my opinion, when someone gives their email address as a result of me requesting it, then, they have given me permission to send them emails. I make sure that I don't spam them. But, I do send them notices when I update a photo gallery. As a rule, I don't attempt to sell through email. I use their email addresses only to keep in touch with them, to build a relationship with them and to keep my photography name in front of them.
This business model is perfect for the part-time photographer. It doesn't require large sums of money to successfully start, to successfully operate or to successfully maintain a viable photography business.
This model assists you to successfully establish a functioning photo viewing, photo sharing and photo processing infrastructure that you can use to build a successful and profitable photography business.
Another significant advantage of this model, in my opinion, is that it allows the photographer to do business in different photography niches. Photographers can then test the profitably and popularity of different niches This allows photographers that use this model to test different photography niches for factors like workflow process, local popularity, most lucrative photography niche, etc.
Event Photography – Establish an online album for each event. You can then email the URL of the photo album. Most services also allow you to password protect albums. Customers or selected viewers can be sent the password to view the photos.
Model Headshots – Establish an online album/portfolio for each model. You can also password protect their photos. I personally enjoy using this service for Model Headshots. (Models appear to have a need to look at photos of themselves for a very long time, in my experiences. Having private portfolios allow them unlimited time to do so as well as to share their private portfolios with others.)
Sports Photography – Establish a gallery for each team. Prior to shooting the event, have business cards printed (or other marketing tools) that has the online gallery URL. This is a category that often purchases the specialty options such as mugs, buttons, puzzles, t-shirts, sweatshirts, posters, key chains, etc.
Photojournalism – In this category, establishing a portfolio is required. This portfolio might include local community events. It might also include 'slice-of-life' photos (these are photos that fall, broadly, in the stock photography niche). I live in California which offers me a wide selection of events, activities, 'celebrity sightings,' and other public photography opportunities. Having business cards (and/or other marketing tools) with the URL address that allows people that are interested in following up is a step that must be taken first, for this category.
Portraits – In this category you can establish albums for each portrait job. Here is a category where setting prices is important. Of course, pricing is important in all niches, but portrait pricing has a certain quality value, in my experiences. Note: although this is information about the importance of establishing your web presence, you shouldn't make the mistake of assuming that everyone is on the internet. They aren't! Even the photography customers that are willing and able to view their photos online don't have enough confidence in ecommerce. They prefer to do business traditionally – face-to-face and person-to-person. This is an example of how having this service allows you to have the photos that you take processed professionally. This is key! Having the web presence is very important to have. But, all of the people that you want to be your customers don't do business online. Besides, photography, even with all of the technological advancements, is, in reality, "old-school" (as in, up close, real and personal).
Pet photography is a lucrative photography niche that's often overlooked by photographers.
Pet Photography – This category continues to prove to be one of my best revenue stream generators. Click here for an example of how I use this model category. Pet photography, in itself, is a lucrative photography niche. But, I continue to find that pet photography is a gateway to other photography business, especially people portraits.
Stock Photography – This is a category that is far to comprehensive to adequately put a summary of how helpful this model will ensure your success.

Enjoy spectacular fishing year round for trophy trout on Arkansas' famous rivers and experience awesome fly rod action on area lakes and streams. Led by Capt. Jamie Rouse with 20 years of guiding experience in both Arkansas and Alaska, you can enjoy the great outdoors and have the ultimate fly fishing adventure.
Our Team is constantly exploring new techniques and fisheries. We are considered an instructional outfitter having something to offer all skill levels from the new fly fisherman to the most advanced angler. Our trips consist of both wade and boat fishing. We can customize the trip to meet your preference or needs.
Our homewaters have produced the last two world record brown trout as well as the world record walleye and hybrid bass. The rivers of Arkansas for the most part have constant water temperature and are rich with aquatic insects, crustaceans, minnows, and bait fish, which allow for some of the best fishing in North America. Rivers fished include the Little Red River, White River, and Norfork River.
These rivers are famous for browns and rainbows. At certain times of the year, we offer dry fly fishing, whereas nymphing and streamer fishing are productive techniques year round. Check out a couple of Capt. Jamie's flies available through Orvis: Rouse's JDub Sowbug and Rouse's Poodle. Jamie has worked for many years on pioneering advanced streamer techniques for producing very large carnivorous trout. Arkansas truly has the best winter fishery anywhere. Ask about the shad kill. Area lakes and streams provide very exciting action for stripers, hybrids, smallmouth, largemouth, and walleye all on a fly.
Ahhhh! Man, I love my job! I was fortunate. I realized in college that I was not cut out for a "real" job. I'm not a 9 to 5 kind of guy. I migrated to my passion- FLY FISHING! I have been guiding people in Arkansas and Alaska for quite some time now and have had many nicknames ranging from the Fish Whisperer to the Fish Nazi. Over the years I have learned how to pursue a wide variety of species in a wide variety of water conditions for a wide variety of anglers.
In 2004 I became an Endorsed Guide for the well known Orvis Company. In 2007 I was awarded their prestigious Guide of the Year. I'll have to show you my belt buckle. I was an Orvis Endorsed Guide of the Year Finalist in 2011 and now we are the current Orvis Endorsed Guide Service of the Year. I was involved in starting the Water Shed Alliance for the Little Red River, which is now Trout Unlimited Ch. 722 and currently serves on the Arkansas Trout Advisory Committee.
I have been really blessed over the past several years first, with an unbelievable team: my wife, Kati (CEO, CFO, web designer, editor, The Fish Pimp), Guides Matt Millner and Tony Simmons, who bring a lot to the table. Secondly, the birth of my little girl, Allie, on January 12, 2008. Wow! I'm a dad! And now, our newest team member, Thomas, born on October 6, 2010. Allie has already been introduced to a fly rod, and Thomas will be soon! Look forward to fishing with you.
I have much to blame of my fish addiction to my father. As a young child we spent many a weekend camping in the Ozarks. I caught my first fish when I was 2 years old. A tiny perch out of a pond around Memphis. By the time I was in the 3rd grade I had become well acclimated with a fly rod. After high school, I was drawn west and moved to Durango, Colorado I probably spent a little too much time outside playing in the mountains instead of doing school work. I found myself out of money and moved back to Memphis. I couldn't stay in the concrete Jungle for long, and the familiar waters of Arkansas brought me to Heber Springs. I spent every day all over the river in an aluminum jon boat chasing trout until dark and sometimes into the night. This is when I met Jamie Rouse. Jamie was able to get me hooked up with a job as a guide in Iliamna, Alaska. It is a place like no other, such a wild, powerful frontier. I love all fish, and have been blessed to fish all over the country for many different species -as long as they pull hard. As I like to say, "The tug is my drug". I am especially fascinated by brown trout. Our fishery has a completely wild brownie population, and their aggressive behavior really attracts me. If I am not guiding, you can find me somewhere on the river purely in pursuit of a big yellow belly. Fishing and guiding for me is not just a job, it's a way of life. I live to fish. I live to teach people how to fish. The joys of watching someone else catch fish and experience the adventures of being out on the water is so fulfilling to me, its unreal.
For me the joy of Arkansas Rivers started out simply enough as a boy playing in the JFK campgrounds, with the Little Red River serving as a backdrop to the adventures of childhood. On my path through this wonderful world the river managed to go from a fun place to visit to the place where I NEEDED to be! Some things just happen, and for me it took one afternoon for all of my focus and desire to land on one thing…Fly Fishing! Once that realization was made, my life took on a reorganization of sorts into two categories: time on the water, and time spent thinking about being on the water. This new direction has brought me more excitement and light than I could have imagined. This is the excitement I want to share with whoever wants to take the time to find it.
The time I've spent as an angler along with the past seven years of guiding have given me a deep love for teaching and sharing such a wonderful pursuit in amazing environments. Not only do we get to fish, but we do it in the state I've called home for 28 years! The same drive and desire for learning that took me through two undergraduate degrees and a masters degree is now used for learning and teaching the wonderful pursuit of fly-fishing. We all learn every time we hit the water! I have been very fortunate to have many teachers of many techniques in many locations across the country, and I use all of my experiences to provide you the trip you desire. I served as vice president for Chapter 722 of Trout Unlimited, and am currently Chapter President. I recently finished guiding the rainbow trout season in Alaska.
The River also ran me smack dab into my wonderful wife, Taylor, and her son (my little home boy) Andrew. No matter your skill set or goals, I look forward to sharing a day of fishing and fun that will leave your spirit enriched, your abilities improved, and a little music in your step!
"Angling may be said to be so like the mathematics that it can never be fully
learnt" - Izaak Walton
I am always fascinated by things I'll never be the best at or know everything about or get to the bottom of. The river keeps my mind young and also offers the most soothing calm. Moving from the music industry of Nashville to the natural beauty of Heber was the best thing our family ever did. I'm a recovering rock n roller and although music will always be my first love, fly-fishing is a very close second. I love meeting new people and seeing them catch their first fish on a fly rod! My beautiful wife Courtney and absolutely crazy two year old, Scarlett love the water as well and it is truly a blessing to our family to have such a renowned trout fishery in our backyard. Oh, and our other child, a neurotic chocolate lab named Miles Davis, loves it, too. Let's go catch some fish!
I graduated from Rhodes College where I majored in Biology, served as a student trainer, and ran track and cross country. I also did some graduate work in Exercise Physiology at the University of Memphis. I am a licensed athletic trainer, having worked at Campbell Clinic Orthopedics and Baptist Rehab with many high school and college athletes. My work with youth in Memphis also included numerous climbing, rafting, hiking, and ski trips. It was when I was getting my CPR renewal in Memphis that I unexpectedly met this fly fishing guide who was getting ready to go to Alaska for the rainbow season. Little did I know, just over a year later we would get married, move to the Little Red River, and I would join him for two more seasons in Alaska at Rainbow King Lodge. It was certainly the beginning of a new adventure for me! Since then, I have served as a board member and secretary of Trout Unlimited Ch. 722. Since our location didn't provide me an opportunity to ply my trade as an athletic trainer, I trained my sights on becoming an integral part of Jamie Rouse Fly Fishing Adventures, which has been a blast. Obviously, I've always had a passion for the outdoors, and now we enjoy the outdoors together with the rest of our pack--Allie, age 6, Thomas, almost 4, Gus, our yellow lab, and Lucy, our rescue dog. You can keep up with our adventures on my blog, Outdoor Kids Play!

Summer Highlights
Sweet sweetness on the Little Red today.
Lucy the Rescue Dog.
I think it's pretty safe to say she's pleased with her new life.
Arkansas rainbows.
Good morning from the Little Red.
Many think of August as Back to School, but for JRFFA, it is Beat the Heat month. We are offering our special rate for the entire month of August. Meet at 6 a.m. and fish until noon. Light snacks provided by Fish Food Catering, which we now use exclusively for all of our trips. It has been a huge hit!
Stay tuned for our new fall lineup and casting lesson packages as JRFFA continues to grow! Thank you for your continued support!
So we just finished another great year in Colorado last month. Super time with Herb and crew. This year our whole pack got into the action and did some serious family camping. Here are a few of the pics from the trip. Let us know if you are interested in going next year. Limited spots available. Check out Kati's blog outdoorkidsplay for more on our family adventure.
Too much frisbee.

Great start to Colorado 2014! Nice pike and rainbow in the Yampa Valley.
Our Colorado Adventure
We just spent the last few days in Flat Tops. The elevation is around 12,500 at its highest point. We camped at around 10000, but went up to do a little hiking, fishing, and running. Jamie and Thomas caught a couple of trout. We all hiked and then I was able to go for a marvelous run! It is absolutely breathtaking. The Bear Lake Campground is pristine.
Yesterday, walking alone back to our camp, I saw what I first thought was a deer. I then realized it was a moose, once it's mother stepped out onto the road behind her calf. They are huge and extremely tall!!!! I have seen them before from a distance in Alaska. These two were roughly thirty feet from me. We stared at each other for what seemed like a couple of minutes. I backed slowly away and stopped when I heard Thomas calling for me. I apparently lost all intelligence and begin yelling to Jamie. All that came out was "Animals! Big!" The moose, totally unimpressed and not threatened, escorted her babe across the road. What an amazing experience!
Jamie will do a test float later today with Herb. Tomorrow we will be heading to Eagle Rock for the next several days staying in a cabin and then on for some more camping as we head back home the first week in July. We are having a blast!
Road Trip!
Capt. Rouse and I made a quick trip to Supreme Boats to pick up the new Predator drift boat. It will be making the journey to Colorado next week! The drive was beautiful and we had a blast. Rob Williams is the owner of Supreme, Shawnee, and Predator and has just moved into a new warehouse where they manufacture the boats that JRFFA uses exclusively. Jamie had to inspect the riverboats, of course. He is contemplating the 16 foot Shawnee for his next.
As a side note, Capt. Rouse looks quite sporty in the Rouse by fayettechillco, and I really would have loved to take the VW bus with us! The bus was not for sale.
Rob has been super to work with—always ready to try new things to make our jobs easier on the water.
Happy National Get Outdoors Day!
The Lost Boys Chronicles are a collection of stories, recaps, and journal entries shared by those who work at Fayettechill. Each one offers its own unique perspective into Fayettechill, a world created by those following their hearts and passions into the unknown. We hope that these stories…
Had a great day with the O'Dea brothers!
Colorado, Here We Come!
Looking forward to heading out next week for Steamboat Springs. We are going to load up the family, bikes, tent, and driftboat for our summer adventure. We will camp along the way. First stop will be somewhere in Kansas. Jamie and I have begun to research where exactly in Kansas we might camp, and have a couple of possibilities. Any suggestions are welcome! Second camp spot will be once we cross into Colorado. Then JRFFA will team up with Herb of Yampa Valley Anglers hosting our clients on some great fishing. The kids and I will do some major exploring, of course, bike riding and a little fishing on our own. We will then stay a bit longer for some fun family time. This will be the kids' first time to Colorado and my first time to be there in the summer! I can't wait! Apparently, Allie can't either. She has already packed her bag with enough clothes to last for a month including useful outdoor wear like dresses and dress up shoes. I will keep you posted as we embark on our journey! Happy Monday!
It's going to be an awesome trip!
Father's Day is next Sunday! A JRFFA gift certificate makes the perfect gift and is now available online!
Foggy Day Rainbow
We are now getting two units around the clock here on the Little Red, but fishing is still great. Here is a sweet rainbow from today.
Good times with fayettechillco! Awesome video!
We spent a full day on the Little Red River with fly fisherman and river captain, Jamie Rouse. Matt Milner, Jamie's first mate, was on board as well. A day on the river is not just about catching fish. It's about the experience, the memories that are made, and lessons that the river teaches you.

Last week Paul, Eddie, and I decided to do a sneak attack on a creek we will call "Red Goat". The Predator drift boat went along for the adventure. We found a place to slide it down a trail, shoved off, and the float was official. The big unknown was whether or not there would be any fish. We instantly knew the answer. One small mouth after another started to come to the boat . When things couldn't get anymore crazy, we started wacking really strong solid rainbows. The show stoppers were the stud smallies. This was one of those days that was incredibly special and reminds me of why I do what I do.
This shirt turned out really cool! Loving all the cool gear from fayettechillco!
The Rouse button down is named after our FC athlete Jamie Rouse. Some of our employees are out fly fishing with him this weekend and I couldn't be more pleased with how this pattern and color turned out.

Good morning from the Little Red! #flyfishing #arkansas
A beautiful day on the Little Red with another nice rainbow.
Water Flow: Medium High
Visibility: 36 inches
Water Temp at Midday: 55
Water Conditions: Stained
Tip: After this last rain event, the lake has jumped 2 1/2 feet and counting. Generation has remained very fishable with a good window for fishing daily. I would imagine they are not generating around the clock yet due to flooding in the lower White.

Little Red Sunset
What does Matt Millner do when he is not guiding? Well, about a year ago he bought his first road bike. He's now on bike three and fully obsessed with the cycling sport .On the days when he's not guiding, you'll see him peddling all over the state! He's training under Leborne Coaching in Little Rock and is scheduled to race plenty of 50-60 milers early in the summer as well as several century (100 mile) events later in the summer including the Eurekan and the famous Big Dam Bridge 100!
You may notice there is no beard. Perhaps he is now a little more aerodynamic. Good luck to Matt in his upcoming races!
Little Red Long Exposure
Super cool shot by Fayettechill's lead photographer, Trent Sugg, from the photo shoot a couple of weeks ago. Good stuff!
Guide Service of the Year Finalist
Good job team! And thanks to all of our clients for support through the years!
Little Red River
The Little Red River runs through the gateway of the Ozarks near Heber Springs, Arkansas. It is a tailwater. The dam creates a massive lake, Greers Ferry. Below Greers Ferry Dam you will find some of the country's best trout fishing. The Little Red rolls along 82 miles before it meets up with the White River. Roughly 45 miles of this are considered quality trout water. The river is full of a healthy population of rainbow trout. Some are wild, but most are stocked. The jewels of the famed Little Red are the brown trout. Our browns are an all wild population. Recently, the Little Red River was the home of the world record brown trout. Part of the Little Red's success is the abundant aquatic life. Most of these fish are getting fat on crustaceans, sow bugs, scuds, and crawfish. And of course, the larger browns enjoy a rainbow snack. We have a few hatches consisting of march browns and caddis that can deliver some dry fly fishing. Nymphing ends up being the standard for most. For those that are looking for large browns the Red is a streamer fisherman's delight. Come anytime of year. With constant water temperatures, the Little Red is a TRUE year round fishery.
Colorado Trip
June 20-26.
We have a few spots left.
It's going to be a blast.
Large fish on hoppers!
As many of you know, I am training for a marathon. Here is the reason:
This past January Jamie and I lost our good friend Peri to ovarian cancer. Gordon, her husband, is Jamie's best friend since kindergarten. He was the best man in our wedding. Even though I did not get to spend a lot of time…

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - New York is betting casino gambling will turn around the long-distressed upstate economy.
Tuesday's vote to amend the state constitution sets into motion a heated contest to select casino operators.
They will have a hand in selecting sites for the first four of seven Las Vegas-style casinos. One eventually will be in New York City.
With most of the precincts reporting, the referendum passed by about 57 percent to 42 percent, according to unofficial returns.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo's Gaming Commission will prepare requests for proposals from casino operators, which will submit their proposals.
The result will be choices for operating casino complexes that would include hotels, and specific locations for casinos chosen by developers.
That process will take months and could be delayed further by lawsuits challenging the process.
