Trails Carolina
Treatment Facility
"Designed for struggling adolescents ages 10 to 17, Trails Carolina is a comprehensive therapeutic wilderness program set amid the tranquil North Carolina Mountains. Developed specifically to address the ";whole child, our proven methods and clinical therapies help change troubling behavior, guide adolescents up new paths of self-awareness, lead families toward reunification and healing, and re-engage students in an appreciation of academic challenge and learning. Adolescents today are continually exposed to a fast-paced world of school, home, and a variety of relationships with the expectation that they are prepared to internally motivate and self-regulate. Unfortunately, many adolescents navigate their environment through poor choices, dangerous behaviors, and negative acting out. These destructive choices sabotage their ability to achieve success while damaging family relationships. Through the integration of adventure-based activities, wilderness expeditions, experiential education, and academic coursework , adolescents are guided toward cultivating a more centralized sense of the whole self, an awareness of personal strengths and abilities, an acceptance and accountability of the full impact of their poor decisions, and the insight and tools needed to succeed through life's ongoing challenges.

Village Behavioral Health: Self-Harm Treatment

Teens of all ages, education levels, races, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and religion engage in self-injurious behaviors. Self-harming behaviors may take many different forms and are not limited to the following. It's important to note that as a non-suicidal act, those who self-injure may intentionally gravely injure themselves while engaging in self-mutilation, these are not considered to be suicidal acts. Self-injurious behaviors may include the following: burning oneself, branding oneself with a hot object, skin excoriation, dermatillomania or skin-picking, trichotillomania or pulling out hair, head-banging, cutting oneself, hitting oneself with an instrument such as a hammer, or even breaking one's bones.

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) Antonio turner, will spend the next 83 years in prison. Turner was sentenced this morning in federal court for the 2008 carjacking and shooting of J.P. D. officer Dewayne Collier.
Police say Turner and his half brother Cornelius Black held up a title loan company and fast-food restaurant back in July 2008. During a police chase led by officer Collier, the pair then wrecked their car.
Before Collier could exit his squad car, he was shot by Turner. Testimony showed the Turner threw Collier out of the car, and sped off. Collier survived.
In an attempt to lighten his sentence, Turners attorney's made numerous objections to the sentencing, but in the end, Judge Dan Jordan denied every one. Jordan read Turners criminal history aloud, which began at age 16, involving drug and weapons charges. Jordan said he never showed any respect for the law.
U.S. attorney John Dowdy left the courthouse saying, "That's what society needed, this man needed to be put in prison for the rest of his life."
Before he was sentenced, Antonio Turner addressed the court saying he felt sorry for Collier's family, but that he was innocent of the charges.
During an emotional plea for a harsh sentence, Colliers mother Janette told the court about her son's now permanently disabled state. Officer Collier now walks with a cane, attends physical therapy several times a week, and is cared for around the clock, by his mother.

Simon Mpata (Tanzanian, 1942–1984)Untitled, circa 1981–3
Note on the artist
Mpata is the youngest half-brother of Edward Saidi Tingatinga, originator of the Tingatinga art movement. Mpata learnt to paint from his brother and is generally viewed as the artist who kept his style the closest to Tingatinga's. After Tingatinga's death, Mpata refused to participate in training more painters and left Tanzania to open a studio in Nairobi where he lived and worked until his death in 1982. His work has been extensively collected and shown in numerous exhibitions worldwide.

Chevrolet has announced it will unveil a new global SUV in September at the 2012 Paris Auto Show. The new model, called Trax, will be offered in more than 140 markets, with Mexico and Canada being the first ones privy to it. As of right now, there are no plans to introduce it in the U.S. market.
The future Trax will feature the same pioneering spirit and expressive design that defines each new Chevrolet, but it will be distinguished by a muscular exterior design and wide athletic stance. Chevrolet states that the interior will come with standards usually found in more expensive vehicles.
"The Trax provides Chevrolet an entry into a growing small SUV segment and delivers the flexibility, great fuel economy and car-like handling that urban explorers around the world require," said Mary Barra, GM senior vice president of Product Devel opment. "After a record sales year in 2011 and a record first quarter, Chevrolet continues to meet customer needs by expanding its portfolio with strong new entries."
Exterior and Interior
Chevrolet has made it clear that the Trax SUV is all about versatility and fuel efficiency wrapped in an unmistakable Chevrolet profile. It measures 4,248 mm in length, 1,776 mm in width and with a wheelbase of 2,555 mm. The Trax's powerful body lines conveys an agile and imposing ride, highlighted by the automaker's decision to separate the upper from the lower port of its prominent front grille.
"For many decades, Chevrolet has been known for its dependable and capable SUVs," said Susan Docherty, President and Managing Director of Chevrolet Europe. "[The] Trax will deliver on all of the traditional Chevrolet values and more. It is a modern, highly versatile yet fuel-efficient small SUV, offering car-like handling and all-wheel drive."
For all the distinguishable characteristics of the Trax's exterior, the interior cabin is where this SUV separates itself from the rest of its competitors. A cluster combining digital readouts with analog displays conveys a message of sophistication and convenience. Moreoever, the Trax offers the kind of space consumers might want in a small SUV. It has a 358-liter trunk that comes with a number of bins above and on both sides of the center stack. Likewise, an under pass seat tray is also available as is more stowage just under the cargo floor. The overall cabin also boasts of a 60/40 split rear seat. The front passenger seat can also be folded flat, allowing for additional space inside the cabin.
For those who opt for a higher trim of the Trax, Chevrolet is offering the company's MyLink infotainment system that includes a seven-inch, high resolution, full color touch-screen display.
Chevrolet is offering the Trax SUV with a choice of three different powertrain options, including a 1.4-liter turbocharged gas engine that produces 140 horsepower and 200 Nm of torque while mated to a six-speed manual transmission. There's also a 1.6-liter gas engine variant and a 1.7-liter turbo-diesel engine that produces 130 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque.
All powertrain options available for the Trax come with manual transmission - the 1.4-liter and 1.7-liter diesel models come will also be offered with a six-speed automatic transmission - and Start/Stop functionality.
Keeping in line with the industry's increasingly stringent safety requirements for vehicles, the Chevrolet Trax comes loaded with plenty of safety features, including six airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) including Hill Start Assist (HSA), Traction Control (TC), an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake Distribution. Meanwhile, Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) and Hill Descent Control (HDC) are standard on LT trim vehicles.
Chevrolet has yet to release pricing for the Trax. But rest assured, we'll give you pricing details as soon as they become available.
Unfortunately, the Chevrolet Trax won't be available in the US. Nevertheless, European countries that do have the Trax available will have plenty to choose from as a number of competitors offer as much, if not more, options than the Trax.
One model, in particular, is the Nissan Juke , which actually has a unique following on its own. The quirky Japanese crossover is undoubtedly more eye-catching at first glance and its powertrain options include a top-of-the-line 1.6-liter Direct Injection Gasoline turbocharged engine that produces 190 horsepower and 240 Nm of torque.
For all the cool features of the Trax - yes, it has some redeeming value - the SUV's is just a little too bland for our taste. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but when it comes to first-look appeal, the Trax doesn't accomplish that.
- Multitude of powertrain options
- Plenty of safety features
- Another option from the Bowtie
- Not available in the US
- Plenty of other options
- Design doesn't stand out

STATESVILLE Iredell County deputies have arrested a man who they say was driving a vehicle that had been reported stolen.
The Sheriff's Office says two of its deputies were helping the N.C. Highway Patrol about 11:30 p.m. Saturday on another case when they saw a vehicle leaving from behind businesses on Mocksville Highway.
Deputies stopped the driver on Mocksville Highway near Old Salem Road, a short distance northeast of Statesville.
Authorities say the driver was Billy Ray Locklear, 61, of Greensboro.
The vehicle had been reported stolen in Randolph County, according to deputies. They say Locklear has a lengthy history of arrest for larceny, breaking and entering, and other offenses.
Locklear was arrested on charges of possession of a stolen vehicle, displaying a fictitious license plate and driving while license revoked.

NBCNEWS.COM - The uncle of a bride died and three people were arrested at a Philadelphia hotel Sunday after a fight broke out between dozens of guests from two wedding parties forcing police to use batons and a Taser to end the melee.
Investigators tell NBC10 about 75 to 100 people were fighting in the lobby of the Sheraton Society Hill hotel located at 1 Dock Street. Police say at one point they were outnumbered by the crowd and had to call in extra patrols twice. Dozens of officers from across the city came to the hotel. Police say they used force to control the crowd.
A 57-year-old man, who is the uncle of one of the brides, suffered a heart attack and was pronounced dead at Jefferson Hospital. NBC 10 has learned that he was celebrating his birthday. He was not a part of the fight, according to police.
Police say members of one wedding party were fighting as another wedding party arrived to the hotel. Police say someone was hit and the fighting between the two groups ensued. Many of the guests were intoxicated, according to police. click here to read more

In those same places, however, mobile phone use has exploded. In a phenomenon known as "leapfrogging," the wires needed to power traditional card-based transactions might never get installed, since everyone will just use their phones instead. In Kenya, mobile operator Safaricom has developed M-PESA, a way to transfer money and make microloans using text messages — no bank account required. Unlike in, say, the U.S., mobile payments have taken off in Kenya thanks to M-PESA, with millions of users. The company is working on rolling out the service to other countries where a lack of financial and technological infrastructure could cease to be a barrier to joining the 21st-century economy.

MSN Exclusive: New photo from "The Hobbit"
The third released image of the dwarves from "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey"
Two of the youngest Dwarves, Fili and Kili have been born into the royal line of Durin and raised under the stern guardianship of their uncle, Thorin Oakensheild. Neither has ever travelled far, nor ever seen the fabled Dwarf City of Erebor. For both, the journey to the Lonely Mountain represents adventure and excitement. Skilled fighters, both brothers set off on their adventure armed with the invincible courage of youth, neither being able to imagine the fate which lies before them.

These three brothers, all sons of the same mother, could not be more different from each other. Dori, the oldest, spends much of his time watching out for Ori, the youngest; making sure he's not caught a chill or got himself killed by Wargs or Goblins. Nobody quite knows what Nori gets up to most of the time, except that it's guaranteed to be dodgy and quite probably, illegal. Dori, Nori and Ori are intensely loyal to each other – and whilst they are perfectly happy fighting amongst themselves, woe-betide anyone who means harm to one of these brothers.

Distant cousins of Thorin Oakenshield, these two doughty, Northern Dwarves join the Company out of a sense of loyalty to their kin, and also because they have a substantial sum of money invested in the venture. Along with Bombur, Gloin is the only other married Dwarf in the Company (there being a shortage of female dwarves in general). His wife is an acclaimed beauty with a particularly fine beard. Gloin is the proud father of a young son, Gimli, who will go on to become part of the famous Fellowship of the Ring.
Personally, I think these Dwarves are excellent interpretations, given as how Dwarves with blue, yellow and other-brightly-coloured beards wouldn't fit into Jackson's darker Middle Earth, and I assume he's trying to fit the two works (The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings) together as seamlessly as possible.
It's also given that Kili and Fili are the youngest of the thirteen Dwarves who take on the adventure with Bilbo, so it is reasonable (I use that word a lot, don't I? o.o) to assume that they would not have developed physically as other Dwarves have, in the manner of beards and whatnot.
He does look like he's ready to tear someones head off with his bare hands too but then again in one of the interviews he did on Being Human he said friends would ask him what was wrong and he said nothing it's just his face! He just has intense eyebrows :)

Each year since 1969, a group of Southern journalists and educators has gathered to recall the struggle for Civil Rightsand how it was covered by the press
iya Pop!"
This greeting is first heard Saturday evening at cocktail hour, and it rings out again and again throughout the next 48 hoursat the steak dinner, the post-dinner soiree, the Sunday morning breakfast, and the brunch that make up a Popham Seminar weekend.
"Pop" is John Popham, the dapper 89-year-old around whom these weekendspart reunion, part political debatehave swirled these past 30 years. The first Southern correspondent for The New York Times, Popham arrived in Chattanooga in 1947, in time to record what he calls "the biggest revolution in the South since the Civil War." As he covered the South for the next 30 years, later as managing editor of the Chattanooga Times, Popham became the center of two groups of peopleeducators and journalistswho were caught up in the struggle for Civil Rights. In the trenches together during the tense days of desegregation, these people looked to Popham for inspiration and guidance, to each other for support and comraderie.
On a weekend in June, these same peopleolder and grayer, but with no less spirit or spunkmingle in a room at the Georgia Center for Continuing Education, stopping their conversations, interrupting their reminisces, to clap Popham on the back and say brightly into his good ear, "Hiya Pop!"
The Popham Seminars honor John Popham, the first Southern correspondent for The New York Times and "journalism's point man" in the Civil Rights Movement.
ou get drunk and tell lies. That's what someone told me when I asked what you do at these meetings," says Jerry Footlick, a former Newsweek editor, who traveled from New York to be in Athens for this year's Popham Seminar.
Or as Don Eastman, UGA's vice-president for strategic planning, put it in his remarks to the unruly dinner crowd on Saturday evening: "The Popham Seminars are dedicated to the proposition that great journalism and legendary drinking are inextricably intertwined."
It's true: Seminarians love wine and festivity, laughter and wild story-telling. But beyond the bluster and bravado is something serious. As Eastman says after the laughter dies down: "Popham Seminars honor two things: language, the art of articulating the human experience; and the courage and passion of those who wrote and acted for civil liberty at a turning point in our national nightmare of racial intolerance. We come together to hear the stories of that struggle and to honor its heroes."
Among this rowdy group are those who recorded and sought to understand what was happening in the South, who furthered the cause of Civil Rights by publicizing and writing about it. There's Bill Emerson, who headed Newsweek's southern bureau and served as the last editor of the Saturday Evening Post; Bill Minor, a longtime political reporter in Mississippi; Hodding Carter III, descendant of a well-known South Carolina newspaper family who worked in Jimmy Carter's press office and is now president of the Knight Foundation; and John Egerton, author of the seminal work Speak Now Against the Day: The Generation before the Civil Rights Movement in the South. Among the group's now-deceased members are the Pulitzer Prize-winning editor of the Arkansas Gazette, Harry Ashmore, and Bill Gordon, longtime editor of the African-American Atlanta Daily World, who won a prestigious Nieman Fellowship in 1952.

For the most part, the men and women who attend are not famous. Even Popham isn't a household name, though, as Egerton wrote in a history of the seminars, he perhaps ought to be. "Popham had been journalism's point man in the mid-century theater of war in which the social transformation of the South was played out; in the colleges and universities, he had given voice to a new generation of leaders and provided inspiration for a regionwide educational awakening," wrote Egerton. "Perhaps more than any other person, he symbolized and personified the best of the extended trial and eventual triumph."
What stands out most about Popham is his overwhelming love for the people of the South. "You have to learn how to care for them," says Popham, "and how ugly they can be." It's a contradiction this group appreciates. Southerners all, they, too, are lovers and critics of the South.
ith so many writers and thinkers involved in the Popham Seminarsand no one shy about expressing his opinionit's no surprise there are several theories on how the whole business got started. Some say the journalistic faction started the group; in the late 1940s they'd formed a loose confederacy known as the Southern War Correspondents and Camp Followers. Others say it was like this:
"There were three of us sitting in a bar in the Dulles airport in 1968," says Ed Crawford, who is recognized as the driving force behind the seminar's continued existence. "Our plane to Atlanta was late, and we were sitting around talking about what we could do to honor Popham. We agreed we'd have a meeting, let him run it, and just listen to him talk."
In the airport bar that day along with Crawford, who was the public affairs officer for the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges, were Robert Anderson, UGA's vice-president for research from 1965-84, and Horace Renegar, public relations officer at Tulane. Each admired Popham, who was a self-proclaimed supporter of higher education; as they say in the trade, he was prone to giving higher education quite a bit of "ink."
The three men mailed invitations, informed Popham that he was the guest of honor, and held the first Popham Seminar at an Atlanta hotel in 1969. For the past five years, the group has met at UGA's Georgia Center for Continuing Educationa big step up, everyone agrees, from the early days.
They called it a meeting even then, but it was really a weekend when those in higher education in the South and those reporting on the South could get together and let off some steam. It was all men back thenhard-scrabble, hard-drinking journalists who came of age once-upon-a-time before Political Correctness. The group grudgingly agreed to allow women to participate back in the late 1970s, and a few women attend these days. But it's very much a men's cluband an old men's club at that. If you're in your 50s, you're a whippersnapper.
Lee Anderson, who continues to attend though her husband, Bob, died in 1987, remembers her first Popham Seminar. "I'd never been around such a wild group," she says. "There's a photograph of me taken at that meeting and I'm kind of peeking over the bar, watching all these men, looking like a little girl. They're wild raconteurs."
"For a while, I was the only young woman there, and I tended to stay in the background making them cocktails in the hospitality suite," says Robbyn Footlick. "Now I'm a little less busy because that doesn't go on as long as it used to. But this is a situation where I don't mind being called honey. It's worth it."
The frivolity, the way Popham flirts with women even in his ninth decademostly it's just story-telling, what these men do best.
"If there is one thing that typifies the Popham Seminarians, it's that they're just about as good in an verbal state as written," says Egerton. "It was talkthat's what it was about."
At this year's meeting, Minor talked about covering the Emmet Till lynching trial on a steamy day in 1955 in the Mississippi Delta. "Seventy reporters showed up in this little bitty town," he says. "The town hated us all. But among those covering the trial was John Popham. The damn local rotary club invited him to speak!"
Popham spoke in his rich Virginia accent about driving 70,000 miles a year in his prime, visiting politicians and preachers, trying to penetrate a South that was, he says, "locked up." Each seminarian stood and spoke. More often than not, it approached the poetic.
As Tom Teepen, an Atlanta-based columnist for the Cox Newspapers put it: "I come here like the dry earth looking for Spring rain. This is where the English language goes when it wants to play and sing."
While the Saturday night activities are largely devoted to remembering times and people past, the Sunday session is for discussing the present and future. It is these discussions that have been videotaped over the years and placed in the Archives of the South at UNC-Chapel Hill.
In his prime, reporter John Popham drove 70,000 miles a year, visiting politicians and preachers, trying to penetrate a South that was "locked up."
Flanked by historian-journalist John Egerton, the 89-year-old Popham takes time to sweet-talk the ladies.
his year's session, intended to concern the millenium, instead gets caught up on a matter clearly more urgent to the Seminarians: the staggering rate of incarceration of young black men. For an hour or so, they nurse coffee and nibble on pastries while bantering back and forth, one speaker riffing off the remarks of the previous like great jazz musicians.
"We have well over one-quarter of black men in the country in the criminal justice system," says Teepen. "I think the social consequences of this are beginning to shine through."
"DEA statistics show there's a vastly higher proportion of whites who do drugs than blacks," says Carter. "But in the face of that, there's a nine-to-one ratioblack-to-whiteof who goes into prison."
"I find the situation very ominous," says Ray Jenkins (ABJ '51), former editor of the Baltimore Sun. "I'm afraid the black community's problems are based upon the tendency to dwell upon the past, to dwell upon grievances."
"Nobody's really working on an agenda," says Teepen. "Who's trying to set an agenda that has any kind of transcendence?"
"Everybody is so afraid to get to the core of a discussion about race, because it gets so angry so fast," says John Burness, senior vice-president of university relations at Duke University.
And the conversation goes on and on, meandering from one mind to another and back again. At the end, nothing's resolved. No matter weighty enough to be discussed here can be tied up quickly, but the Popham Seminarians have tossed their opinions into the vortex only to have them spun around and spit out with more insight. That's the beauty of good conversation, which is also the beauty of the Popham Seminars.
"We haven't solved all the world's problems," quips Burness as the meeting draws to a close, and Popham dons his straw hat and grabs his cane. "We'll do that next year."

Should This Miner Move Forward With Its Potash Project?
Varun is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In August, mining giant BHP Billiton (ADR) (NYSE: BHP) is expected to make a decision on whether to move forward with its potash project in Saskatchewan, Canada. While the company has already pumped in billions of dollars into the project, the breakup of one of the two cartels in the potash market on July 30 has raised the possibility of a drop in potash prices. Given this scenario, the big question is whether BHP should continue with the project.
BHP Billiton's "fifth pillar"
A slowdown in China, a major consumer of raw materials, has put pressure on prices of commodities over the past year, forcing major mining companies to sell non-core assets and avoid investments in big mining projects. BHP Billiton has been no different. Last year, the company announced that it will delay its planned $20 billion Olympic Dam project. BHP had also said last year that it will not approve any major projects in the year to June 2013. But with the end of the moratorium period, investors have been speculating whether the company will move forward with its Jansen potash project in Canada.
Apart from these steps, BHP has been also looking to enter the potash market in order to diversify its operations. With potash, the company is looking to capitalize on rising food demand. In 2010, BHP announced a hostile $40 billion bid for PotashCorp (NYSE: POT). BHP, however, eventually backed out after Canada's national and provincial governments blocked the takeover attempts, citing national interests.
But BHP did not shelve its plans to enter the potash market. The company had a strong reason to pursue the potash business. Rising income levels in countries such as China and India boosted global food demand by the mid-2000s. This in turn led to an increased demand for fertilizers as farmers looked to improve crop yields. As a result, prices for potash, an essential commodity in the production of agricultural fertilizer, surged to $825 a ton by 2009. Although prices have since then fallen by more than half to around $400 a ton, the fundamentals for the potash market remain strong.
Potash has been described as a "fifth pillar" for BHP Billiton, with the other four being petroleum, copper, iron ore and steel-making. However, the company may have to rethink whether it is feasible to move forward with building the "fifth pillar" following a major development in the potash market on Tuesday.
Breakup of the Belarusian potash cartel
On Tuesday, Russia-based Uralkali pulled out of the Belarus Potash Company (BPC) export cartel, citing violation of an agreement from its Belarusian partner. BPC was one of the two cartels operating in the potash market, with the other one being North America's Canpotex. The North American cartel includes Potash Corp., Mosaic (NYSE: MOS), and Agrium.
Between them, BPC and Canpotex control 70% of the global potash market and hence had been able to maintain potash prices at profitable levels. However, with the breakup of the Russian cartel, the virtual duopoly in the potash market has ended.
The dismantling of the world's largest potash cartel is likely to have a significant impact on potash prices. Uralkali's CEO Vladislav Baumgertner expects global competition become stronger in the near future, which will push prices down. The company expects global potash prices to fall below $300 per ton in the second half of this year.
Not surprisingly, shares of North American potash producers have tumbled. At last check on Tuesday, Mosaic shares were down nearly 18%, while Potash shares were down nearly 20%. The development comes just a few days after Potash had reported that its average realized potash price fell from $433 per ton in the second quarter of 2012 to $356 per ton in the second quarter of 2013. The company had cited competitive pressures, which moved contract and spot market pricing lower, as the reason for lower realized prices.
Mosaic recently reported fourth-quarter fiscal 2013 results the company's average potash selling price fell from $455 per ton to $368 per ton. With the latest development in the potash market, the outlook for North American potash producers has turned gloomy, even though demand for potash is expected to remain robust.
Should BHP Billiton move forward with its Jansen project?
BHP Billiton has already spent over $2 billion on preliminary development work at Jansen. Goldman Sachs said last month that it expects the company to invest another $500 million of pre-approval development capital into Jansen ahead of a final decision on the project in 2015 and 2016. But the potash market has just turned upside down.
With potash prices expected to fall sharply following the breakup of the BPC cartel, it might not be feasible for BHP Billiton to pursue the project. If as Uralkali's CEO predicted, potash prices do fall to below $300 a ton, that would significantly reduce margins for potash producers. According to Goldman Sachs, the average expenses for potash producers are about $240 a ton currently.
Given that BHP's Jansen is a greenfield project, one can expect the company's cost when the initial production begins to be on the higher side. If prices remain below $300 a ton then the project would not be feasible for BHP Billiton in my opinion even though potash demand is expected to remain strong.
I expect BHP Billiton to put the Jansen project on hold until there is a clear indication that potash prices will remain at around $400 per ton. However, without the "fifth pillar" BHP is not an attractive investment, given the weak demand for industrial metals and minerals. I would therefore remain on the sidelines with BHP Billiton for now.

I don't understand people who don't like new fans.
When I meet someone who is new to one of my fandoms, my first instinct is to be like "HERE HAVE EVERY BOOK, ARTICLE, AND FANFICTION EVER WRITTEN AND ALSO WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF EVERY SCENE/EPISODE/SONG AND ALSO HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER LETS DISCUSS THIS WHAT INSIDE JOKES CAN I EXPLAIN TO YOU LET'S BE FRIENDS."
The third rule of Fight Club is to have fun and try your best.
"Don't worry, Scott! As Dictator-For-Life of G.R.O.S.S., it is my primary mission to make sure no slimy alphas get you! You can count on me!"
For my beloved Cho, who prompted treehouse for Scott/Stiles Week. <3
I don't really forgive people I just pretend like its ok and wait for my opportunity to destroy them
You're the one
why the fuck would you do this to me holy shit
Oh yes.
no one ever likes me as much as i like them and that's it
Take my hand. (x)
This is beautiful. Wow.
This is amazing
If I'm a sarcastic asshole when I talk to you its either because I really like you and feel comfortable teasing you
Or I really hate you and don't care if you know it
Good luck figuring out which one

Tempe, AZ (Sports Network) - Carrick Felix tallied a double-double with 23 points and 11 rebounds as the Arizona State Sun Devils ran past the Washington State Cougars, 69-57, in a Pac-12 Conference bout at Wells Fargo Arena.
Felix shot 7-of-11 from the field and also swiped three steals for ASU (20-7, 9-5 Pac-12), which has registered back-to-back wins to notch its first 20-win season since 2010. Jahii Carson added 21 points and five assists, while Jordan Bachynski logged 12 points, seven rebounds and five blocks for the hosts.
For WSU (11-16, 2-12), Brock Motum scored 17 points, Royce Woolridge netted 16 points and DaVonte Lacy had 15 points. The other six players to take the court combined to score only nine points for the Cougars, who extended their season-long losing streak to seven games.
ASU shot an impressive 52 percent from the field in the first half and closed the frame out on a 20-5 run to take a 36-22 advantage into intermission.
The Sun Devils' lead never dipped below eight points in the second half.
ASU won the rebounding battle, 37-26, which helped make up for a game-high 15 turnovers.

About The AIAPrograms & Initiatives
About Sanford E. Garner, AIA, NOMA, LEED AP ND, NCARB: Through his role as founding partner at A2SO4, Mr. Garner has focused on historic preservation, master planning, project assessment, and urban design. His experiences and interests in these areas were developed through his architectural studies at Howard University in Washington D.C., Helsinki, Finland, and at the University of California, Los Angeles, as well as through his work with the D.C. Preservation League and HABS/HAER (Historic American Building Survey/Historic American Engineering Survey). In addition to his professional practice, Mr. Garner has maintained a strong commitment to community service and development through his involvement with local and regional advisory councils and boards.
Sanford, you are the current president of the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA), which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. What do you see as the organization's greatest accomplishments since its inception in 1972?
NOMA has always been an organization steeped in mentorship. Its uniqueness is that there is no differentiation between the generations. What I mean by that is that our most senior members readily interact with college students both socially and professionally.
At our annual conventions, we plan our events so that we all readily interact with one another through-out the conference. Additionally, our drive to mentor young professionals has inspired the development of our Student Design Competition, which has become a huge hit over the years.
And where do you see NOMA heading over the next 40 years?
We are interested in further developing our mentoring opportunities as is evidenced by Project Pipeline (an architectural summer camp for middle and high school students) and leadership development opportunities for our professional and student membership.
We also strive to increase the number of licensed minority architects via support groups (both electronic and physical) and by offering Architectural Registration Examination (ARE) study material, which can be loaned out.
The AIA Diversity and Inclusion team and NOMA continue to partner on the path toward increasing the diversity and inclusion of the architecture profession. What are some of NOMA's signature programs and projects, either nationally or locally?
Our two signature programs are Project Pipeline (our version of architectural summer camp geared toward middle and high school students), and our student design competition, which is juried every year at our annual conference. More recently, we've added a community service project on the Wednesday before our annual conference officially starts.
You recently had the opportunity to participate in a panel discussion focused on corporate culture during the National Urban League's Black Executive Exchange Program (BEEP) Leadership Conference. What was the purpose of that conference?
The purpose of the BEEP conference was to expose African American students to Black executives and allow then them to have the opportunity to engage in open and honest dialogue about the workplace. The setting provided these wonderfully talented students a platform to discuss transitioning into the workforce, workforce expectations, challenges, and the like in an open, yet protected, forum.
The feedback we received from the students was that they found it incredibly informative, while I and other presenters found it refreshing, engaging, and wonderfully invigorating.
What do you see as most important about establishing a relationship with the National Urban League?
First and foremost, I would say relevancy to the younger generation. As the conference is focused on students, it's their show, if you will. We respond and react to their concerns and needs, not the other way around.
Additionally, I was able to engage with young minorities and expose them to the profession of architecture and entrepreneurship. What I found most interesting was that, while I represented the AIA, I was the only entrepreneur/business owner there. Furthermore, there wasn't a single design or construction student at the conference—which leads me to say we really have to push our exposure with the organization as a whole.
Aside from being president of NOMA, you are founding partner and president of A2SO4 in Indianapolis. One of your firm's core disciplines is historic preservation, and your headquarters is moving to a 132 year-old former Catholic church that has been vacant for 25 years. Tell us about that project.
It's over budget and behind schedule. Seriously though, the project, called A2@St Joe, because we are renovating St. Joseph church, a decommissioned Catholic church, allows me to combine all of my passions: architecture, history, preservation, and urban design.
The concept of redeveloping a historic, vacant church in downtown Indianapolis prompted my fascination and my enthusiasm. We're shooting for the project to be LEED NC Silver certified, and I'm using historic tax credits to help finance the project. Additionally, the move will save us between five to seven thousand dollars a month in operational costs.
You have an award-winning professional practice, were selected as one of eleven 2011 AIA Young Architect Award recipients, and served as the 2009 President of AIA Indianapolis. What's your next endeavor?
Right now, the focus is surviving the economy and remaking my company so that we can become stronger and better. Times are exciting and challenging. I don't think our profession will be the same, and that's okay. We need to change to progress and grow.
While many of us may not appreciate the fact that we have to change and morph to survive in this economy, it will ultimately make us better at what we do (if we use our current circumstance as an opportunity).
Yeah, I know I'm a glass half full type of person. Outside of that, we'll see what opportunities avail themselves in the next three to five years and I'll go from there.
Finally, what would you tell emerging professionals about why they should join the AIA or renew their membership for 2013?
The AIA is the thought leader for addressing the professional needs of US architects. Organizationally, the AIA works tirelessly to advocate for our profession legislatively, to advance educational opportunities, and to promote the profession of architecture and the value of the built environment. Renewing my AIA membership is not an option to me, but a responsibility. It's my way of supporting the organization that supports me. Additionally, I've come to develop deep friendships within the AIA community which have helped me advance both personally and professionally.

Same here. We use Kara to help gear up newly dinged mates or guildies who need a jump start. Like last time, we basically solo-pally-tanked the entire instance completing it in 4.5 hours, with one healer in greens and a DPS Warrior taking the OT role where it was needed. Some parts were interesting, like the Skeletal Ushers before Opera and the Netherspite fight, but nothing we couldn't handle. Easy epics for the newbies, and lots of nice badges for all of us (which we can't complain about with 2.4 on the horizon).

Jaz Beach
Coordinates: 42°17′00″N 18°48′17″E / 42.28333°N 18.80472°E
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (August 2008)
Jaz (Serbian Cyrillic: Јаз, pronounced [jâːz]) is a beach in the Budva Municipality in Montenegro. It is located 2.5 km west of Budva city. It consists of two parts, one 850 m long and the other, formerly a nudist beach, 450 m long. It is a pebble beach, with a campground along the greater part of the beach (capacity 2,000 lots).
While it is a popular beach for sunbathing and camping, and is one of the longer beaches in Montenegro, it has gained international prominence as a host of numerous concerts and happenings in recent years.
The vast hinterlands of the Jaz beach are considered among the greatest potentials for tourism development on the Montenegrin coast, as there are few undeveloped areas left on the coast besides Jaz (notably Buljarica, Velika Plaža and Ada Bojana).
Concert location[edit]
With the spring 2007 announcement of The Rolling Stones playing the beach in July 2007, Jaz Beach started to figure as open-air concert location for global acts. However, by summer 2009 the concerts ended.
The annual summer events were seen as an attempt to boost Montenegro's international image, as well as to promote the country as a tourist destination. In largest part they've been financed by Svetozar Marović, influential Montenegrin politician, and a native of Budva.
Summer 2007 and summer 2008[edit]
The Rolling Stones played a show on July 9, 2007, as a part of their A Bigger Bang Tour. For the performance, a large field in the beach hinterland was leveled, fenced, and made accessible by refurbishing and extending the road to the venue. The show was attended by some 25,000 people and the city of Budva holds the distinction of being the smallest town ever to host a Rolling Stones gig.[1]
The next notable event on the beach was the 3-day Live Fest held in August 2008 that consisted of: Lenny Kravitz and Armand Van Helden on August 5, Dino Merlin and DJ Set Retro Groove '70 on August 6, and finally Goran Bregović together with Zdravko Čolić on August 7.
Later that summer Madonna performed one of her Sticky & Sweet Tour concerts at the venue on September 25 with 50,000 in attendance. The pre and after parties consisted of performances by various other popular musicians, such as Van Gogh, Garik Sukachev, David Morales, Junior Jack and DJ Ura.
Live Music Festival 2009 Controversy[edit]
From early 2009, the organizers began touting the Live Music Festival to be held during summer 2009 with acts such as Tina Turner,[2][3] Britney Spears, and Zucchero being announced.
Raka Marić has confirmed that none of those singers will attend it this year. For popular daily newspaper Vijesti, he has said: "Due to 2009 global financial crisis, there will be no attendance of some global superstar on this year's Live Music Festival." Although Tina Turner has finished her worldwide tour that marked her 50th year in the business and is now free for new concerts, Marić has said that "she gave up touring and will never tour again" which is, of course, not actually the truth. He has also said that "Britney Spears is finishing her European leg in July 26" so they couldn't "get her to come".
Although it has been officially confirmed that 2009 guests will be Vlado Georgiev, Plavi Orkestar, Riblja Čorba and two famous DJs, second Live Music Festival has never been held.
Summer Fest 2012[edit]
After a three-year absence, the musical performances returned in summer 2012 with the three-day event called Summer Fest organized from 5-8 August. Instead of globally known acts, the festival featured local ones such as: Nagual, Night Shift, Van Gogh, Hladno Pivo, Nipplepeople, Off Duty, S.A.R.S., Pero Defformero, Partibrejkers, Riblja Čorba, The Beatshakers, Gomila Nesklada, Who See, Prljavi Inspektor Blaža i Kljunovi, Kiki Lesendrić & Piloti, Orthodox Celts, and Junior Jack.
