shows that WAG splits 2/1 when the price gets to the 50-60 range. I doubt we will actually see the price ever get to $100.00 without a split.However, 50-60 is still a ways off -- next year perhaps?
Frankly, you people scare me. "Boy, I think we'll see a hundred bucks a share in the near future, etc.", "Hey, that's great,me too", etc. Let me say this. I've been a WAG holder for 10+ years, used to work there, etc., love the stock, etc. That said,WAG is overextended given its current fundamentals. Goldman Sachs, who without question is the best research house on thestreet, has been saying as much for the past several months. It seems like a fair amount of you people just think the ride is goingto be endless and valuations don't matter. I suggest you temper your expectations a bit.
but Wag is still a good stock/company. Fairly consistent growth, not knock your socks off. Since you are in Phoenix, I posted a message a day ago aboy the WAG store opened at Pima and Pinnacle Peak Road in Northern Scottsdale desert. Not too many residences there not but its built for the future in one of the fastest growing areas.
New ballgame out there buddy there is no more valuations anymore its a momentum play til this market drops.I wish i had LU,AOL ANY INTERNET STOCKS and then i would worry about value. GO WAG GO. LARLOR

Parallel bars are most commonly known as an apparatus used in gymnastic events, but they shouldn't be limited to just gymnasts. Most commercial gyms have a set of parallel bars that can be used to perform a variety of exercises for your whole body. When using parallel bars for the first time, have a trainer or workout partner present to help you and put padded mats underneath the bars.
Upper-Body Pushing Exercises
Upper-body pushes work your chest, shoulders and triceps. The most common pushing exercises on bars are dips. Legendary bodybuilder and trainer Vince Gironda was such a fan of dips for building the chest muscles, he removed all the bench press stations from his gym in favor of parallel bars. Improving your dips can also carry over to an increase in bench press performance, says powerlifting website EliteFTS. Start each repetition with your arms straight, dip down until your shoulders are just below your elbows, then forcefully push back up. Begin with partner-assisted dips, then move to body-weight dips and once you can do three sets of 10, try weighted dips, with a dipping belt around your waist or dumbbell held between your feet.
Upper-Body Pulling Exercises
You need upper-body pulls in your routine to work your back and biceps and balance out the pushing exercises. Inverted rows strengthen your upper back, improve posture and place little stress on your lower back, according to Ben Bruno, strength coach at Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning in Massachusetts. To perform an inverted row, sit on the floor beneath the bars and grab them with both hands. Lift your butt off the floor and step your feet forward so that only your heels are in contact with the ground, then pull your chest up to the bar, pause for a second and lower under control. Inverted rows can be used as a way of preparing to do full pullups or as an upper back strength and muscle-builder.
Core Exercises
Core exercises shouldn't be limited to just situps and crunches -- parallel bars can be used for an array of core exercises. L-sits are an isometric exercise often used by gymnasts to increase core strength and stability, says certified strength and conditioning specialist Al Kavadlo. Start at the top of a dip position, then lift your legs straight out to the front and hold them there for as long as possible while squeezing your abdominal muscles. Aim to go longer each time. Hanging knee raises work well, too -- begin in the same position and lift your knees up toward your chest. Once you can do 20 reps, try hanging leg raises, which are the same but with your legs straight.
Lower-Body Exercises
Parallel bars aren't really designed for lower-body exercises, but there are still some you can do. Hanging knee raises holding a dumbbell between your feet will work your quadriceps and hip flexors, but on the whole, bars are more useful for beginners learning correct technique. If you're learning how to do squats and lunges, you can use the bars to help with support and balance when first performing these exercises.

Their Eyes Were Watching God
Your eyes are watching Shmoop.
Forget the stuffy, straight-laced novels that often take center stage in the literary world. Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God is straight-up hilarious, with characters so real that they jump off the page and experiences so true that you feel like you're living them. Janie, the novel's heroine, is on a quest for true love. But trust us: this book is anything but mushy. Janie's journey takes her through some dark and lonely places and, although she eventually finds what she's looking for, it comes at a steep price. Was it worth it? We'll let you find out.
Get ready for boatloads of activities and creative projects that will
- help you recognize and articulate ways in which history, social issues, and politics influence art and literature.
- examine how Hurston's manipulation of language and imagery captures the folk tales and oral culture that form the center of the novel.
- give you the 4-1-1 on the basic structure of a quest—woman style.
- provide the low down on the Harlem Renaissance and the ability to recognize some of its most important contributors.
Course Breakdown
Unit 1. Their Eyes Were Watching God
This 15-lesson course will give you the ins, outs, and sidewayses of Zora Neale Hurston, the Harlem Renaissance, and this here masterpiece, Their Eyes Were Watching God.
Sample Lesson - Introduction
Lesson 2: The Skinny on the Harlem Renaissance
Their Eyes Were Watching God isn't about the Harlem Renaissance.
Nor is it set in Harlem.
Nor was it particularly well liked by some of the key figures of the Harlem Renaissance.
In fact, Richard Wright slammed Hurston's writing in Their Eyes Were Watching God, saying—among some other not-so-nice things—that "[t]he sensory sweep of her novel carries no theme, no message, no thought. In the main, her novel is not addressed to the Negro, but to a white audience whose chauvinistic tastes she knows how to satisfy" (source).
Basically, Hurston's political views and her refusal to write about blacks and their experiences in the "approved" way set her at odds with some of the leading voices of the Harlem Renaissance. The result? A falling out of favor followed by obscurity.
But back to Their Eyes Were Watching God and the Harlem Renaissance. The fact that Hurston's novel doesn't cater to the voice and views of other important people associated with the Harlem Renaissance doesn't mean that the novel doesn't participate in the cultural, philosophical, and political explosion of the time.
Zora was, well, Zora. Known for her outspokenness, her eccentricity, and her individuality, it's no wonder that she created a literary voice that echoed what she saw and experienced as a black American woman. If she decided to make her "life's goal to convince the world of African American folk culture's legitimacy as an art form" (source), then she would do it, regardless of whether or not other black writers, artists, and thinkers were behind her. And, at the end of the day, isn't that independence of spirit and celebration of the black experience, in whatever shape they come, the lifeblood of the Harlem Renaissance?
Sample Lesson - Reading
Reading 1.2: The Harlem Renaissance
Here's the lowdown: the Harlem Renaissance began in the 1920s in Harlem. It brought together some of the most important African Americans writers and artists of the time.
The keyword there, dear Shmoopers, is "African American." Before the Harlem Renaissance, there had never been a space where African-American people could explore or celebrate their own culture (at least not in safety). The results were extraordinary: some of the richest, liveliest, most energetic work ever produced, all in one place.
Shmoop's got everything you need to know about the literature of the Harlem Renaissance, and you can check out the Smithsonian and the Encyclopedia Britanica for more about the art of the period. We thought we would round out this lesson with a couple poems from some of the best writers of the time. We'll look at three: Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, and Claude McKay.
Hughes and Harlem
How could we do a lesson on the Harlem Renaissance without mentioning Hughes or his poem "Harlem"? Often referred to as "Dream Deferred," after the most famous line in the poem, "Harlem" cemented Hughes' reputation as probably the most important poet of the Harlem Renaissance..
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over—
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
Hughes was writing about the disappointment and the repressed rage that many African-Americans felt in that time period. You'll see a lot of that disappointment—but not much of Hughes' rage—in Hurston's work, particularly Their Eyes Were Watching God. Hurston was famous for not sharing the political views of her contemporaries, and that comes across in the novel, which avoids politics almost entirely in favor of depictions of everyday life.
Don't get us wrong. Hurston still has plenty to say about race, she just does it a different way. For more on that, check out Hurston's essay, How It Feels to Be Colored Me. Then check out Shmoop's line-by-line summary of "Harlem" to get all the little nuances in the Hughes poem.
Countee Cullen
Hurston and Cullen were good friends. She even wrote a letter to Cullen about her views on marriage and race that we'll read later in the course. (We tried writing one of our BFFs an excited letter about race and marriage recently, but, would you believe it? It went unanswered.)
Suffice it to say: Cullen was a good guy and a great poet. We're going to read his poem "Epitaphs," which is written in four stanzas, each addressed to a different person: a fool, one who gaily sowed his oats, a "wanton," and a preacher. We've never heard "wanton" used as a noun in a non-Chinese food context, but okay, Countee Cullen, we trust you.
For a Fool
On earth the wise man makes the rules,
And is the fool's adviser,
But here the wise are as the fools,
(And no man is the wiser).
For One Who Gaily Sowed His Oats
My days were a thing for me to live,
For others to deplore;
I took of life all it could give:
Rind, inner fruit, and core.
For a Wanton
To men no more than so much cover
For them to doff or try,
I found in death a constant lover;
Here in his arms I lie.
For a Preacher
Vanity of vanities,
All is vanity; yea,
Ever the rod He flayed you with
Crumbled and turned to clay.
Though properly called epitaphs, the sections of this poem read like parables—or the sorts of anecdotes someone might tell in Hurston's anthropological work. We'll read selections from her nonfiction work Mules and Men later in this course, but for now suffice it to say that the folklores collected in that book have some of the same wit and strangeness as the Countee Cullen poem (without any of the rhyming).
Claude McKay
Another important poet from the Harlem Renaissance, Claude McKay, was known for his use of vernacular and his focus on themes of immigration and identity. McKay was born in Jamaica and moved to Harlem as a young man. Today we'll read his poem "America," which captures something of the experience of being an immigrant and having conflicted feelings about, you guessed it, America.
Although she feeds me bread of bitterness,
And sinks into my throat her tiger's tooth,
Stealing my breath of life, I will confess
I love this cultured hell that tests my youth.
Her vigor flows like tides into my blood,
Giving me strength erect against her hate,
Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood.
Yet, as a rebel fronts a king in state,
I stand within her walls with not a shred
Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer.
Darkly I gaze into the days ahead,
And see her might and granite wonders there,
Beneath the touch of Time's unerring hand,
Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand.
Like "Harlem," McKay's poem explores themes of disappointment and oppression, but it takes a different stance on it. McKay's voice is that of an outsider among outsiders: as an immigrant, he's even further removed from the status quo than his contemporaries are. It's the same with Hurston, who as a woman explored the themes of the Harlem Renaissance from a completely different viewpoint. Her disappointment is not with the racial climate, but with a woman's inability to speak up for herself and find love amidst oppression.
Sample Lesson - Activity
Activity 1.2a: Show What You Know
Appreciating Their Eyes Were Watching God and Hurston's place in the Harlem Renaissance means knowing about the Harlem Renaissance in the first place.
For this activity, you're going to spend a little quality time doing research, exploring background info, and, you know, basically becoming an expert in a hurry. Once you've done the whole point-and-click-your-way to some illuminating information, you'll turn that info into a little something we like to call a presentation. You may have heard of it.
Step One
We'll start by narrowing the field a bit. Given the historical, political, and cultural importance of the Harlem Renaissance as well as the many important figures associated with the time period, there are many, many, many directions you could take your research. This could become your life for the next year or so, but let's not do that.
Before going any further, give some serious thought to which aspect of the Harlem Renaissance piques your interest. What follows is by no means an exhaustive list, but it may help get those brain synapses firing:
- Are you smitten by the jazz of the era?
- Do you have a strong interest in any of the jazz musicians?
- Does the poetry of the Harlem Renaissance move you?
- Is there a particular poet you would like to explore?
- Are you intrigued by Harlem Renaissance art?
- Do you want to find out more about any of the artists associated with the Harlem Renaissance?
- Do the politics of the time period fascinate you?
- Do any of the activists associated with the Harlem Renaissance interest you?
- Are you interested in the culture of Harlem at that time?
- Do you need to know just what occurred to make the Harlem Renaissance possible?
Step Two
Now that you've figured out your angle, you're going to need to do a bit more digging around to make sure that you really have a good grasp of your topic. To help make this step a bit easier, we here at Shmoop have done some of the legwork for you by compiling a list of noteworthy sites. But before we send you off to explore, keep this one basic point in mind:
- Regardless of which topic you've chosen, always, always, always come back to the Harlem Renaissance. What role did jazz, or your particular poet, or a specific activist play in the Harlem Renaissance? What contributions did ____________ make to the Harlem Renaissance? How did the music, politics, poetry, or whatever you're researching reflect the ideas or culture of the Harlem Renaissance?
See how easy that is?
So, as you read through articles, catch a few YouTube videos, and/or browse through the art or poetry of the Harlem Renaissance, remember to take notes on how exactly your topic connects or contributes to, reflects, promotes, or otherwise engages in the Harlem Renaissance.
Jot down your source info, too. You'll need it later for citations.
Oh, and before you panic at the number of resources we've assembled below, remember that (most likely) you will be focusing on one category. Keep in mind, too, that these are just starters. So if you don't find enough info here, go off, explore, see what else the good old WWW has to offer. Just don't get too lost.
And be selective. You wouldn't want to base your research off of what a third-grader wrote, for instance.
- Shmoop, Jazz, Dance, and the Harlem Renaissance video.
- Biography.com on "Famous Harlem Renaissance People." This site covers musicians and other notable people, so check out their credentials before diving in too deep.
- Encyclopedia Britannica, "Harlem Renaissance—Black Heritage and American Culture."
- The Harlem Renaissance care of U.S. History.org. A good, general overview that covers politics and the arts.
- African American History Place, "Harlem Renaissance"
- Poets.org, A Brief Guide to the Harlem Renaissance
- Encyclopedia Britannica, "Harlem Renaissance"
- Shmoop, Langston Hughes
- Shmoop, Harlem Renaissance Literature (you already scoped this out, but you can dig a little deeper here)
- Smithsonian American Art Museum, "African American Art: Harlem Renaissance, Civil Rights Era, and Beyond"
- Artcyclopedia, "The Harlem Renaissance"
- "The Harlem Renaissance: A Social Documentary through Art"
- Pratt Library, "African American Department: Harlem Renaissance Concept Guide"
For additional information regarding the Harlem Renaissance—some general, some topic-specific—explore these links:
- PBS NewsHour, "Harlem Renaissance"
- Issues and Controversies in American History, "Harlem Renaissance"
Step Three
Okay, that was the hard part. Now it's time to put together all of the good stuff you discovered during your research, presentation-style. Before you open PowerPoint or log in to Prezi, you should do some planning: organize your information and figure out which fascinating facts should go where. Your target length: about five minutes. Here are a few tips:
- Think thesis. Yep, even presentations need a thesis. Once you've figured out what your central argument will be, then you can organize all of your material around that point. (Kind of like an essay. Fancy that!)
- Think brief. No one, and we really do mean no one, wants to read long, cumbersome sentences in a presentation. So keep your points short. Use bullets.
- Think talking points. You should be able to elaborate verbally (as in, while you're presenting) on the info that you choose to put into your presentation.
- Think intro and conclusion. Provide a bit of context and closure.
Got all that? Good. Once you've finished the outline for your presentation, feel free to move on.
Step Four
You've done the research. You've got an outline, so now it's time to assemble the actual visual presentation. We recommend PowerPoint or Prezi.
Keep these pointers in mind as you work:
- Stick to the plan. You prepared an outline for a reason. Make sure your info flows logically and that it is organized around a clear central thesis.
- Remember that all the graphics and fonts and colors and transitions and whatever else you plan to throw in for added dramatic effect should be viewer-friendly.
- Avoid clutter.
- Strive for brief statements and bulleted points. Short. Sweet. To the point.
- Add a few well-chosen visuals to support or complement your text. Gaudy distractions need not apply.
- Provide citations as necessary.
- Fun extras: sound bytes? Embedded video? Gifs? Hey, if they help you make your case, then go for it.
Step Five
Double-back to make sure that you met all of the requirements. Then spend some quality time with your presentation editing and proofreading to make sure that the final outcome looks professional and polished. (Glaring typos can be oh-so-embarrassing.)
Step Six
Upload your presentation below, and be prepared because your teacher might make you actually present it. (Yeah, you saw that coming.)

Thomas Vinci Strings support Tony Rice Foundation
As more and more folks learn about Tony Rice's health issues, more ways to help are popping up.
Though he never was officially an endorser, Tony very publicly used Thomas Vinci strings for many years. He was quick to answer questions about his string preference when asked, and mentioned Vinci in interviews.
Now they want to repay that courtesy by donating a large part of the proceeds from the set that Tony used (C-1813 M) to help with his recovery efforts, despite the fact that Rice is now a Martin endorser.
To read more about Tony's problems, and how you can help, read our previous coverage here, here, here, and here.

The Flight Of the Fluttering Swallows
Published: April 27, 2003
(Page 4 of 9)
Even as the Hanawon facility is adding more dormitory space, South Korea doesn't quite yet know what to do with its increasing refugee population. In the decades since the Korean War, very few defectors have made it to South Korea -- less than 200 in all until the mid-90's. But then, with the death of Kim Il Sung and the floods and famine of 1995, more and more people have risked their lives to cross the Chinese-Korean border. Last year alone, with the increased activity of South Korean religious and evangelical groups working surreptitiously to establish an underground railroad in China, 1,200 North Koreans made it to South Korea, twice as many as the year before. And with an estimated 200,000 North Koreans living in China now, many of them hoping to immigrate to South Korea, the South Korean government may soon have a crisis on its hands.
In fact, a complaint among some South Koreans today is that their government already does more for the North Korean refugees than for many of its own citizens. As one high-ranking official in the Ministry of Unification told me, with typical South Korean optimism, ''These refugees serve as a litmus test for how the reunification of the two Koreas is going to work one day, so we view their situation not just as a humanitarian matter but as a Korean matter.''
Back in the common room, one boy popped a video into the VCR, and the others fell on the floor to watch. It turned out to be the house favorite, a juvenile South Korean comedy about unrequited love between a male student and a female teacher containing a lot of bathroom humor. The fluttering swallows all admitted that they were embarrassed to watch it -- but then couldn't stop watching, laughing nervously at all the bathroom parts.
I wondered if their embarrassment was complicated by a new fact of life: many of the fluttering swallows had been helped in their escape by evangelical groups -- many of which proselytized a conservative brand of spirituality. While organized religion was a crime in North Korea, a majority of the swallows, including Yum, the rebel, and Heo, the brillo-haired boy, now read the Bible or attended church, and in many cases these churches became the center of social life for refugees after they left the Hanawon facility.
In the kitchen, Kum was preparing to cook dinner. Though each member of the household was supposed to make a meal once a week, Kum had avoided this task for months. He checked the refrigerator, which contained only some ketchup and half a bottle of salad dressing. He washed some dishes and then went back to the refrigerator. A handsome 19-year-old with an easy smile, he shuffled around, rifling through the cupboards without a clear sense of purpose, wearing blue sweat pants and a pair of Se-ok's pink slippers. When he first arrived, the teachers told me, he was morose and wouldn't bow to them or talk to the others. But once they got him a trumpet, Kum earned the nickname Mr. Smiles and became a new person.
Kum's decision to try to make it to South Korea hadn't had quite as much to do with food as with freedom. He said that he and his three sisters had had rice and some vegetables to eat, so had fared better than most. (Se-ok, for instance, told of eating rice only on special holidays, like Kim Il Sung's birthday.) But it was a growing sense of suffocation in the North Korea of Kim Jong Il, where the state determined your career, your worth and even your wife, that inspired him to risk escape. He knew that he would forever be a poor man's son. Though Kum wouldn't say much about his family, human rights groups report that the North Korean government divides its citizens into three main categories -- ''Core,'' ''Wavering'' and ''Hostile.'' Roughly one-third of the population falls into each, and it is believed that food rations and freedoms are determined by loyalty to the party.
When Kum left in October 2001, he was 18 and about to be conscripted into the army, a million-strong force charged with maintaining the country's internal security. Perhaps the vision of 12 or more years in the military was enough for him to risk it all, to sneak onto a train north, randomly bribe a border guard and make the dangerous crossing to China.
Once there, he met a South Korean pastor and joined a group of refugees on an underground railroad, living the next month in a twilight state of paranoia at every new encounter. Making their way through a complicated system that included do-gooders and shady black-marketeers, they used a combination of paid escorts, pastors and safe houses. They rode trains south through China and passed illegally into two Southeast Asian countries, which humanitarian aid groups asked not to be identified. On the second crossing, Kum remembers that they started at 9 one night (as one paid escort said goodbye, he gave Kum a knife for protection), and then at 5 the next morning found themselves on a huge plain at sunrise. Despite intense pressure and protestation from North Korea, several Asian countries, including Thailand, Myanmar and Mongolia, have offered North Korean refugees some haven. Refugees and church groups say they believe that North Korean agents work in all of these countries, looking for and, if given the chance, trying to murder defectors.

The latest addition to our Reviews Section is a piece by Aleksandra Fazlipour on Tomás Eloy Martínez's Purgatory, which is translated from the Spanish by Frank Wynne and available from Bloomsbury USA.
Aleksandra did an independent study with me last semester to learn about writing book reviewing. She read a bunch of books, wrote and rewrote and rewrote her pieces, read all of the essays in the Words Without Borders "How to Review Translations" series, and became a much better writer and reviewer over the course of the semester. I meant to run her pieces throughout the semester, but classes (and ALTA and life and work and everything) kept me way too busy. So instead, I'll run them every Friday for the next few weeks.
This is from the first review she ever wrote:
Emilia Dupuy is haunted by the memory of her missing husband, Simon Cardoso. During what seemed like a routine mapping expedition in Argentina for the couple (both of whom were cartographers), Simon vanished without a trace. A thread of hope is preserved in Emilia thirty years after his disappearance in spite of testimonies stating that he was detained, tortured, and murdered. Simon became one of the many "disappeared" that characterized Argentina in the wake of the Dirty War, and Emilia became one of the individuals left behind in her own personal purgatory, marked by uncertainty with regards not only to the whereabouts of her husband, but the direction of her own life and her place within her family. Tomas Eloy Martinez carefully constructs this tale of one woman's struggle in Purgatory by mingling poignant emotion with gut-wrenching fact and allows the reader to effortlessly move between present-time New Jersey into the corrupt Argentina of yester-year characterized by propaganda-induced authority.
The true power of Martinez's storytelling lies in is his ability to make his protagonist's personal struggle secondary to the oppression of the Dirty War—he uses his artistic skill to enfold the reader not only into Emilia's story but into the time itself, whisking the audience through 30 years in the blink of an eye. In hopes of finding her husband, Emilia fruitlessly following a series of ultimately inaccurate clues pointing to Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, and finally the United States. The true angst in the story floods not from the pursuit itself but from the slow realization that these clues seem loosely linked to Emilia's own father: Dr. Dupuy, a propagandist for the oppressive government regime itself. The irony almost makes the narrative humorous—Dupuy's ideals enforce the statement "God, family, country," but it seems increasingly clear to the audience and to Emilia that her father instigated Simon's disappearance, and possibly his torture and murder, in order to further his own agenda and to keep Emilia among others from discovering the truth behind the government's atrocities.

I purchased this Sledge for my husband...he likes to use it as a workout tool. He Loves it! This is the second one that I've gotten him, the first was a lighter weight version of the same brand. The hammer is of a really great quality. He uses it to beat a 600 pound tire and it has yet to fall apart. Great Tool!

Mental Health America Annual Conference
MHA's 2017 Annual Conference: Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll
June 14-16, 2017
Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill
Washington, DC
Are we really going there? Yes. Yes, we are.
Why? Because these issues are complicated, they are real, and they are far from black and white. It is time to take mental health, mental illness and addiction—and all the messy, sometimes embarrassing, uneasy truths that accompany them—out from behind closed doors—and discuss them openly. Together. Even if it makes some uncomfortable. It is that important.
Throughout the three days of our conference (and during our pre-con day for MHA affiliates on June 13), we will bring advocates, experts and elected officials together for some clear, real, and direct conversations:
- We'll discuss issues that impact many in the mental health and addiction communities every day—sexual trauma and its aftermath, gender identity and depression, sexual addiction, and sexual and other side effects of mental illness medication. And we will talk about how we can address them effectively to promote recovery.
- We'll dive into topics surrounding the opioid epidemic, self-medicating, and addiction. And we will talk about how people are overcoming alcohol and drug dependence and successfully finding pathways to resilience and recovery.
- We'll talk about the all-too-frequent stories of musicians, entertainers, and artists who battle mental illnesses and substance use disorders. Is there a connection between the genius mind and serious mental health concerns and addiction? Can you make great music and art and be sober at the same time? And we will talk about how music, musicians, and artists and entertainers are playing a major role in helping peers and fans along their own paths to recovery.
Engagement and inclusion are central to recovery. In 2017, we will bring our community together—to talk about what it means to have real mental health, what it means to be in recovery—and what it means to address mental illness Before Stage 4.
We hope you can join us! Look out in the coming months for our Call for Proposals and speaker announcements. This is definitely going to be one conferenece you don't want to miss!
Want to get a flavor of what MHA's conferences are all about? Check out some of the photos from our 2016 Conference: Media, Messaging and Mental Health that took place this past June! Over 500 mental health advocates joined MHA in Alexandria, VA to take an in-depth look at the impact and influence of media and the entertainment industry on the complex issues of mental health and mental illness. Check out some of the speaker presentations and see the photos!

The timeshare resale business is a 100% complete scam for the most part. It has a business model based on dispute prevention and this is why it is so difficult for the everyday consumer to get their money back once they realize there is no buyer for their timeshare and their money is gone.
Their dispute prevention tools include:
1.) Advertising Contract
2.) Tape recorded conversation
3.) Time
First they take your credit card information. Then you participate in a tape recorded conversation, then you are sent a contract. You sign the contract thinking that your property is sold and this is just standard procedure as explained by your representative.
These are dispute prevention tools. When you file a dispute with your credit card company you will most likely lose the dispute because the timeshare company has a signed contract where you authorized them to charge your card for advertising services.
The contract can be your best friend or your worst enemy. The contract which you sign is not valid, non enforceable, and it can not prevent you from obtaining a refund. The contract does not contain several elements which the 2006 - 2009 Florida Statutes require. Our company has won hundreds of refund battles with timeshare resale companies and credit card companies because of the "idiot" who writes these contracts.
We have recently obtained several Creative Vacation Solutions / Universal / Creative Vacation Associates contracts and they are not enforceable in a court of law. We have recently shifted our focus to these companies because we have drained the other California based resale companies into complete bankruptcy. We help consumers get their money with NO UPFRONT FEE whatsoever. We take a percentage of the refund after it is issued 100% to you first.
Contact us for a free consultation for any timeshare resale company and if your claim is valid and is within the last 12 months we will get your money back at no upfront cost to you. Timeshare Advocate 931 933 8211

Due to the number or responses we have received from this posting it will be much easier for our representatives to sort through each claim through email. We have set up an email address at (((REDACTED))) if anyone has any questions about their dealings with a timeshare resale company. I will advise anyone for free what they can do to attempt a refund on their own or if they want to expedite the refund we can get to work for you right away. Good luck to everyone!

We also contact the DOA with every case which we handle to see if there is anything they can do first and 99% of the time they can't help at all. The have a generic letter they send each of our clients stating there is nothing they can do.
We encourage victims to take every free route they can think of before employing our services. If it was as easy as contacting the DOA for a refund everyone would do it and we would be out of business.
About 80% of our claims result in refunds within 21 days. 10% within 45 days, and the other 10% lose their dispute. The victims who lose only lose for two reasons. They either didn't tell us the whole story or they waited to long to contact us.
The point of this rebuttal is to stress to all the victims your consumer rights are only protected for a limited amount of time. Try every free course of action which you can before paying anyone to get you out of the mess which you got yourself into.

Ten Steps to Hotspotting
Commitment by
In 2013, the American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC) committed to develop a guide that can be shared with medical students, residents and other providers to help them replicate the 'hot spotting' approach in order to identify super utilizers of health care and develop new care strategies, including details on the workforce necessary to support care transformation, for this high cost population that will improve health outcomes and reduce avoidable hospitalizations and emergency room visits. Additionally, AAMC will develop a recognition program that will feature a 'pay it forward' approach where early pioneers will receive funding to support their own hot spotting program as well as travel funds to support training others who want to follow in their footsteps. Also, the AAMC will convene a learning collaborative with periodic webinars to encourage sharing of information across organizations. AAMC will also post case studies on our iCollaborative website which is available to the general public at no charge.

Definition of pelagic in English:
1Relating to the open sea: the kittiwakes return from their pelagic winter wanderings
More example sentences
- Most deep-sea trenches in the Pacific are floored by normal basaltic oceanic crust overlain by pelagic sediments and ash.
- The pelagic environment is further divided based on water depth.
- Aquatic ecologists have many models for size distributions of pelagic communities.
1.1(Chiefly of fish) inhabiting the upper layers of the open sea. Often contrasted with demersal.
Example sentences
- Adult beluga sturgeon are mainly piscivores, swimming at middle depths and preying mostly on pelagic fish species.
- Among coastal river otters in this region, sociality could be explained by the benefits obtained from cooperative foraging on high-quality schooling pelagic fishes.
- Under such conditions, we predict that more social otters would have diets higher in better quality pelagic fishes, compared with otters that exhibit low levels of sociality.
Mid 17th century: via Latin from Greek pelagikos, from pelagios 'of the sea' (from pelagos 'level surface of the sea').

The new Manchester United manager, Louis van Gaal, is in a better place than most to judge the talent on display in Brazil at the World Cup.
The Dutchman knows that once his World Cup is over with the Netherlands national side, he will have his work cut out to reinvigorate Man United after their abysmal 2013-14 campaign.
The club are believed to be willing to allow van Gaal a transfer budget in excess of £200 million to help the club back towards the top of the table. Van Gaal will consider the World Cup a chance to assess the credentials of those players he has on his lengthy wish list.
Man United's squad is in desperate need of a re-shuffle now, so here's a look at 25 stars van Gaal could take a punt on this summer.

The countdown timer is off by 1 day. Is there a way to turn off the hover date/time so that I can just change the date and not confuse my users?
The countdown timer is off by 1 day. Is there a way to turn off the hover date/time so that I can just change the date and not confuse my users?
Can you provide an example of what you are seeing and steps to reproduce?
Here is the page where the code is located: http://18.104.22.168/~corebaby/resources/travel-opportunities/australia-2013/ (Tour Summary > Departing in: [countdown code])
Here is the actual code being used: [fergcorp_cdt_single date="10 June 2013"]
It should match the "Departing in" located here (Tour Summary > Departing in): http://www.eftours.com/preview-tour.aspx?pt=JA-1132835
Ideally I'd like them to match and keep the hover - but if that is impossible, and I can disable the hover, then I can "fake" the date and it will match.
What time zone is your blog set to?
Pacific (Los Angeles). I change to the UTC offset if necessary.
So technically speaking, the countdown timer is not off by one day (http://www.timeanddate.com/date/durationresult.html?m1=7&d1=5&y1=2012&h1=10&i1=15&s1=58&m2=6&d2=10&y2=2013&h2=0&i2=0&s2=0). It really is 339 days, unless you round up. And I think that's what the other site is doing.
There are a couple of ways you can work around this issue, however I think the best way is to set your time to "10 June 2013 23:59" and then change onHover Time Format to "F jS, Y" (removing "g:i a").
This will essentially add an extra day (well, one minute short of a day) and not display the time, which you don't care about anyway I think.
Make sense?
Yes, thank you for your help.

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
By Taylor Thomas, Community School of the Arts
It isn't easy being February. Despite the various celebrations—of love, of presidents, of our nation's rich black history—January is simply a tough act to follow. This first month is like caffeine, loved by all for its ability to jolt us into a new year. February, on the other hand, functions more like chamomile, mellowing along the final days of winter.
Yes, this month may sometimes catch us in our post-January lulls, but thanks to the Knight Artistic Engagement Fund, February 2013 is anything but slow for Community School of the Arts' financial aid and outreach students. This spring, our families are continuing to be able to attend local performances by some of Charlotte's leading art organizations. January marked the year's kick-off of events, with Opera Carolina's showcase of The Magic Flute and Charlotte Concert's invitation to experience the China National Symphony Orchestra.
These two performances alone resulted in an influx of positive feedback from both students and their family members. When asked to respond to the possibility of attending more events in the future, one student kept it short, simple, and spirited: "Yes (yes, yes)!" We are grateful that the Knight Fund will allow us to provide for this student, and the many others who share the same eagerness.
Access to concerts will continue for the months of February-May, and museum visits will be available until the end of the year. With this series of opportunities, we can't help but celebrate February, and every month to come:

Part of the stables for the original hall, the Estate was home to the Lutwidge family, aka Lewis Carroll's Uncle; and, as you exit the house straight onto tracks and fields, it's not hard to imagine where the inspiration for timekeeping hares and lazy caterpillars came from!
Our ground floor has the original cobbles and troughs of the coach house. This means practicality in spades for muddy wellies and paws; but a potential trip hazard too. You easily get used to it, and its an amazing feature, but it's worth bearing in mind.
The Western Lakes are a privilege to live in. Away from the well trodden tourist trails, we are less than 2 miles from the beach, and less than two miles from the Lake District National Park and Scafell Pike.
Remote in the sense that your nearest chain supermarket is half an hours drive away, you will soon settle into the rhythm of tea rooms, pubs and honesty tables with everything from fresh flowers to newly picked potatoes.
Ambleside and Windermere are an hour and a half drive, Lancaster two hours, and Carlisle a similar distance in the opposite direction.
The Cumbrian Coast Mainland Railway is one of the most beautiful railway journeys in England, and it delivers you to within a half hour walk from our door! The Cumbrian Coast line, and L'al Ratty (Cumbrian for: Little Railway) recently featured in a BBC programme entitled Britain's Greatest Railway journeys, hosted by Michael Portillo.
Muncaster Castle is also just a five minute drive away and it's Owl Sanctuary and incredible views (not to mention, haunted bedroom) make it one of the Lake District's hidden tourist gems.
The recent winner of "Britain's Favourite View", Wastwater is 7 miles from our small village; which manages to squeeze in a post office come agricultural feed store, a petrol station come village store, and, the all important pub - a 4 minute walk (& only because of the lack of street lights!) directly from our front door to theirs!
We're a couple in our early thirties, who have spent the last two years renovating our home, and now want to share it. Living here has been a life changing experience in putting perspective on the pace of life, and we love sharing the effect with friends, family, and now others...! Between being born and raised in the Caribbean and moving to England by way of Africa, and having both lived and worked abroad in the US, Caribbean and Europe, we have worked hard to create a home that we adore coming back to, which enables us to go forth and get to know the rest of the world we haven't met yet!
We have two large dogs and a tiny cat. If you would like the, to be a part of your visit, thats something we've done before and everyone got a lot out of it. We have a local pet sitter who would be happy to handle the walking for you, if you can handle the relaxing by the fire with them afterwards!
Our neighbours are our friends, and the community is a small one. It would be great if you could be a part of it by respecting the neighbours, including the cows, sheep and otters... :-)
We don't smoke, and would be grateful if you didn't either, inside, or anywhere near the house (be careful when disposing of butts too, in terms of fire risk and litter etc.).
We do however, love animals, so you are welcome to bring up to two dogs, who can set up shop on the ground floor (where cobbles reign over carpet).

1984 Power Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Book.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #13
"We are not interested in those stupid crimes that you have committed. The Party is not interested in the overt act: the thought is all we care about. We do not merely destroy our enemies, we change them. Do you understand what I mean by that?" (3.2.99, O'Brien)
The Party ultimately vaporizes captured rebels, but not before converting and re-indoctrinating them.
Quote #14
"The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from all the oligarchies of the past, in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were- cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just round the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?" (3.3.14, O'Brien)
The Party will not repeat historical mistakes; indeed, rather than seeking power as a means to something else, its quest for power is for power's own sake.
Quote #15
"Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery is torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress towards more pain. The old civilizations claimed that they were founded on love or justice. Ours is founded upon hatred. In our world there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement. Everything else we shall destroy everything. Already we are breaking down the habits of thought, which have survived from before the Revolution. We have cut the links between child and parent, and between man and man, and between man and woman. No one dares trust a wife or a child or a friend any longer. But in the future there will be no wives and no friends. Children will be taken from their mothers at birth, as one takes eggs from a hen. The sex instinct will be eradicated. Procreation will be an annual formality like the renewal of a ration card. We shall abolish the orgasm. Our neurologists are mat work upon it now. There will be no loyalty, except loyalty towards the Party. There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother." (3.3.34, O'Brien)
The world that the Party aspires to create is a world unlike any that has existed before: fear and torment shall replace love and happiness; destruction shall trump advancement; loyalty to the party will be the only acceptable loyalty; families and the sexual instinct shall be eradicated.

Cheerful, Creative, Crocheter and Collector of all things Colorful describes me to a C--er, I mean a T. My sweet, left-handed granny taught me (a righty) to crochet when I was but a youngster. My first project was a hideously long scarf for my dad. It seems I just didn't know when to stop--something my teachers told me in school, too! Although crochet and other craftiness have always been part of my life, I channeled my energy and creativity into teaching Jr. High and High School sciences for many years.
When I am not "yarning" (as described by my youngest), I treasure time with my family, friends, running, thrift store shopping, and learning new creative skills.

Inspired by the ombre cakes, hair and tights seen everywhere these days, I made this flowy, feminine and fun blanket. The Ombre Ruffle will keep you or your little one warm and cozy! Its dip-dyed color effect can be worked up in any colors of your choice--I envision it in shades of white to aqua, or whites to creams to yellows. Each tier could even be colored like a rainbow!
This 4 page pattern contains simple and clear instructions with several pictures to help you easily join your ruffle to the blanket. A simple project for even a beginner.
It specifies the 6 yarns I used, but you can work it up in any colors you choose to match your home or nursery decor.
Due to the nature of patterns, this pattern may not be returned or exchanged. All sales are final. This pattern may not be redistributed or copied in any way. Finished items may be sold, I just ask that you give credit to me, Susan Carlson at FeltedButton.com or feltedbutton.etsy.com for the pattern.

Beyoncé Formation in New Orleans
Beyoncé's music video for Formation, released in February 2016, has won the Music Video of the Year award at the MTV Video Music Awards, along with Best Pop Video, Best Choreography, Best Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Editing. The Beyoncé Formation music video connects the pop star with the struggles of African Americans in New Orleans, Louisiana. The 4:30 minute video opens with Beyoncé casually draped on top of a police car, with a voiceover by New Orleans bounce artist Big Freedia asking the question, "What happened in New Orleans?", a reference to the US Government's response to the aftermath of Hurricane Rita. Footage from local film artists is interspersed with choreographed scenes shot in Feynes Estate in Pasadena.

The Swazi currency is the Emalangeni. It is pegged to the South African Rand and the Rand (notes, not coins) is accepted universally.
Try and change any excess Emalangeni back into Rand or another hard currency before leaving the country as it will be hard to do so outside Swaziland.
There are VISA ATMs in major towns in Swaziland, dispensing Emalangeni.

Hello all, a couple of problems with videos.
I'm looking to import a video into WP. I've got the file in the Media Library, however as far as I'm aware, it should show a thumbnail along with the shortcode. In the media section, when I select the video, it shows neither.
I've uploaded the video in a wmv file. Is this the problem? I can convert to a different file format which I'm trying at the moment. Any responses would be very appriciated.
Thank you
