As a jury was expected to hear closing arguments Thursday in his third murder trial, Rick Morrocco Williams decided to plead guilty to lesser charges in the 2010 deaths of two of his roommates.
Williams, 28, accepted 20 years in prison on two counts of voluntary manslaughter. He had faced two murder charges, each of which were punishable by 30 years to life behind bars if he had been convicted.
It was an unexpected move for a defendant who saw two mistrials, including one last year in which the jury couldn't agree on a verdict. The third could have ended in a mistrial as well after the judge faulted a prosecutor for not divulging certain information before the trial this week.
Williams took the witness stand in his own defense. He described to the jury Wednesday how 58-year-old Nathaniel Lonnie had attacked him with a sword and 44-year-old Angie Ferguson with a box cutter.
He said he feared for his life when he shot each of the roommates once in the head Dec. 31, 2010, in the living room of a Durant Avenue home in North Charleston.
After attorneys discussed a deal Thursday morning, when they were expected to offer closing arguments, 9th Circuit Judge J.C. Nicholson sentenced Williams to 20 years on each charge. He will serve them concurrently in a state prison, according to sentencing documents.
He will get credit for the more than three years he has spent in jail while awaiting his three trials.
His first trial ended in a mistrial in 2012 after a juror failed to disclose certain information.
A year later, in February 2013, the jury was hung, and a judge declared another mistrial.
Nicholson considered a mistrial in the proceeding this week, too, after Assistant Solicitor Greg Voigt was found in violation of evidence disclosure rules.
During testimony Tuesday, a North Charleston Police Department detective revealed to the jury a statement that Williams had allegedly made to the police about not being afraid of Lonnie. Voigt had thought that the information had been given to Williams' public defender, Beattie Butler, at some point in the past two trials. A different prosecutor had handled those attempts.
Butler, though, said it was news to him and asked for a mistrial.
Nicholson instead opted to instruct the jury to ignore that portion of the detective's testimony when they started deliberating.
Because of the plea, though, the jury never got to that point.

'Tha Carter V' From Lil Wayne Will Drop May 5th According To Drake [Video]
If you believe Drake, then Lil Wayne's 'Carter V' album is coming very soon.
If you believe Drake, then Lil Wayne's 'Carter V' album is coming very soon.
As Young Money prepares to release their compilation album, 'Rise of an Empire,' the crew dropped their new video for 'We Alright' featuring Lil Wayne, Birdman and Euro. One thing's for sure -- YMCMB knows how to throw a rowdy party.
Rapper Drake tweeted his displeasure with Rolling Stone magazine over the cover switch and fake quote about Kanye West's 'Yeezus' album. We're not use to seeing this side of the 'All Me' rapper but it is quite interesting.
Soon after treating fans to his new song 'Ordinary,' Trey Songz delivers another new effort, 'Who Do You Love (Remix).'
Drake offered patrons in a New York City nightclub a treat Monday night (Feb. 3). The Toronto rapper previewed two new tracks as he and French Montana were turning up at Griffin.
Schoolboy Q is about to hit the road as a headliner. The 'Collard Greens' creator announces his Oxymoron tour today (Jan. 28), which will begin just four days after his debut album of the same name arrives.
You can debate Drake's authenticity, but one thing that's hard to debate about him is his versatility. He can succeed in many genres, whether it's hip-hop, R&B ('Hold On We're Going Home) or pop ('Find Your Love'). But the question remains: Can he do bachata? OK, that's not really a burning question, but it's nice to know he is decent in that area. The Toronto rapper connected with Bronx, N.Y.'s Romeo Santos for 'Odio' -- which means Spanish for hatred.
Beats Music celebrated the launch of their online streaming service with a party of a lifetime that featured several performances from big-name rappers. The packed event, which took place at Los Angeles' Belasco Theater on Friday (Jan. 24), was headlined by Eminem and Dr. Dre.

Welcome to the Geography Department
For over half a century, the Department of Geography at UNCG has developed its programs and resources to prepare students for careers and advanced research in geography. Geography is an expanding and diverse field focusing on the spatial organization of landscapes from a variety of perspectives. Common pursuits in geographic research include the analysis of population problems, economic development, urban and environmental planning, climate and climate change, the spatial dynamics of vegetation and animal assemblages, earth surface processes and landforms, environmental impacts of human activities, resource management, satellite-based and low-altitude remote sensing, cartography, and geographic information science (GIS).
The Department offers the B.A., M.A. (applied geography), and Ph.D. degrees. Formal concentrations in urban/economic/transportation geography, GIScience/remote sensing, and earth/environmental science are offered within the B.A. program. Post-baccalaureate certificates are available in "Global and Regional Studies in Geography" and "Urban and Economic Development" through the Department.

The reliance of European states on gas imports from Russia has been one of the key underlying factors shaping the EU's response to the Ukraine crisis. However could the use of shale gas help to reduce the EU's energy dependence on Russia? Corey Johnson assesses the varying policy responses in European countries, noting that while some states such as Poland have been vocal in their support for shale gas, it is unlikely to enable a significant shift away from Russian gas in the short-term.

Ahh, People.
My apologies.
We've been chatting about branding, excuse-making, blog-malaising, NASCAR racing—pretty much everything these days *but* exercising.
I hadnt even realized this until I received the tweet below.
My first reaction: really? I talk about my personal workouts all the time! you wanna hear again?
My second (after I skimmed thru my archives a bit)? Oops. This is a fitness blog—right?
I have a backlog of fitness questions you've all been kind enough to email & tweet at me, but I figured since Jenn sparked the AhHa! Id start with hers
Hey Carla! Do you have a specific arms workout?would you share your workout with me? I want arms like yours..they are very sexy!
Hey Carla! Do you have a specific arms workout?would you share your workout with me? I want arms like yours..they are very sexy!
First? Thank you.
To my parents' chagrin Im renown for saying what amazing intellectual genetics they gave me but the structural/physical? Not so much.
When I taught swimming lessons for kids I clearly recall a number of them who, at age 4, already had lil emerging muscles (!). You could just tell that they'd be buff boys & girls merely by virtue of their genetic gifts.
I was never that girl.
For me any muscle I have (arms included) is a result of three things and, if I let one piece of the tripod fall by the wayside (especially as I age. 90 shopping days left People!), then the whole things kindasorta crumbles.
As a result my answer to Jenn is twofold: the general & the specific.
Overall my biceps, triceps & shoulders are a result of the THREE C's:
(I know how tempting it is to skip over old linked posts. That said, I really do believe if youre curious at all about my training the two Ive linked above are KEY.)
Ive exercised consistently for the past 17 years. A little cardio a day. A little weights a few times a week. A lot of meditation. A smattering of stretching. CONSISTENTLY.
Ive eaten clean/intuitively for the past 17 years (which, if youre on Twitter, you already know includes some intuitive forays to places like Fudruckers & Marble Slab Creamery).
I aim to do cardio 6 days a week (which for me means I end up doing about 5). I prefer to do less (30 min) more frequently (intervals) rather than longer stints. When I started lifting weights I quickly learned that, for my body-type, I could possess all the muscle in the proverbial world—but if I carried around a lot of excess bodyfat you couldnt tell.
Do you have a specific arms workout?
I lift my arms once a week and, due to time constraints, I tend to break my routine down into little parts.
I want to get in & out of the weightroom in 20 minutes (I dont talk. I preplan my workout) so I typically lift biceps on one day & triceps/shoulders on another.
Biceps: The most important piece of my routine is mixing up the way I lift. Each workout includes one free weight ( love these ), one cable (this one isnt me. Dont rest at the bottom of the movement as this guy does!)& one machine.
For me it is less important what the specific exercises are right now (Im not getting ready to compete) and more important that I keep my muscles confused .
Triceps: The same principle applies here. I typically do one free weight exercise, one cable or resistance band , and one machine.
Shoulders: I am a little different on this one and it's mainly by virtue of how little time I have. I only lift side deltoids . I hit my front deltoids when I lift chest & my rear when I train my back.
**whew. I know, People. That was a longass post & it's the edited version**
So that's me.
And Ive merely scratched the proverbial surface of all questions jammed into my in-box.
Now you.
Curious about my opinion on sets & reps? Want more information about my workout?
Have your own routine you'd want to share (pleaseplease?)?
Beg to differ with my entire arm routine?
Please to hit us ALL up in the comment.s

San Jose- small trees for north side of house?
Hi gardenwebbers,
I recently moved back to San Jose from Seattle, thank goodness! i really missed California when I lived in cold grey Seattle. We lucked into buying a nice old house with nothing in the garden, but wood chips and a hastily installed sod lawn. I am looking to make a formal garden in the front, and wish to honor our orchard heritage by my plant choices. I need to plant a pair of relatively small and attractive trees. In an ideal world they would be cherry trees, but the yard is in the north- northwest side of the house, therefore shady. Someone suggested plums, apricots, or pluots, but I am unsure. Any ideas? I am in the willow glen area so the soil is very good for stone fruits I have heard. I am not married to the idea of fruits but is sure would be cool if I can pull it off!
Dwarf or even the semi dwarf Meyer Lemons..will do great and you will never have too many. Friends will take any excess Meyer Lemons off your hands. For the others,you might not use enough OR you WILL be fighting the birds and squirrels for the cherry's in particular but all stone fruits in general.
And lemons smell good like all citrus.
'Santa Rosa' plum and apricots were everywhere in that area before tech took it over. There are gleaning groups that will pick your extra fruit and donate to the poor/homeless if you have too much. Dwarf root stocks may be available so you can have smaller trees.
North side of house is the shady side. Make sure you have enough sun for them.
Here is a link that might be useful: Dave Wilson info on home orchard culture
ThAnks for the link. My nursery guy seems to think the pluots will do ok but I am still wondering if there will be enough sun. I have already started planting a citrus fence at the side of the driveway but I may do a pair on the lawn too. Hoping to find that miracle tree with three season beauty and shade loving, know what I mean ?
I think any fruiting tree will do poorly with 4 or fewer hours of direct sun per day. When you say North side it depends on 1 vs. 2 story and how far from your house. At this time of year it's hard to measure sunlight as the sun is so low in the sky.
Your fruiting trees can be grown on a narrow side yard (not the North side) strip if you get semi dwarf tree's and prune them yearly.
I experimented with grapevines grown 20 feet North of our 2 story house, but it was not enough sunlight. I got a relatively inexpensive gizmo (EasyBloom Plant Sensor) which measures light over time - so I don't have to guess how much light a particular area gets - and that verified my results - not enough daylight.
For the North side I would suggest Japanese Maples, camellias etc.

BRUCE STROBER, MD: If you have one parent with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, your chance of getting the condition is probably somewhere between 10 and 30 percent through your lifetime. If both parents are affected, it's probably between 25 and 60 percent.
ANNOUNCER: Scientists have identified specific genetic makers that predict whether or not a patient is likely to develop the disease.
DAFNA GLADMAN, MD: Certain genetic factors are risk factors for progression of joint damage. So for example, there are certain markers on our lymphocytes that are called HLA antigens.
ANNOUNCER: Environmental factors also appear to be part of the cause.
BRUCE STROBER, MD: This is a genetic condition that requires something in your lifetime to occur, some sort of environmental exposure, maybe an infection and most likely a bacterial infection at some point in your teens or twenties, or maybe a viral infection at those ages. So both your genes and that to which you're exposed during your lifetime will really determine whether you get this condition.
ANNOUNCER: Immunological factors also play a role. A normal immune system protects the body from invaders like bacteria or viruses but psoriatic arthritis patients' systems misfire causing skin cells to reproduce rapidly and joints to become inflamed.
PHILIP MEASE, MD: It's where your immune cells, your white blood cells, misread the cells in your own body and mistake them for something foreign and end up attacking them. And so the cells of the skin, the cells of the joint, the cells of the tissues around the joint, these are attacked by your immune cells.
ANNOUNCER: And the behavior of these cells is influenced by proteins called cytokines.
PHILIP MEASE, MD: These molecular messengers go around and communicate with different cells and tell them, "Hey, come to this place where we want you to get turned on and do inflammation."
BRUCE STROBER, MD: It's clear now that people with arthritis and people with psoriasis rely upon a specific chemical in the body to not only induce the skin problems and the joint problems, but to perpetuate them, to keep them going through life. That chemical is tumor necrosis factor: TNF.
No matter what the causes, early diagnosis and aggressive therapy is important.
BRUCE STROBER, MD: Left untreated, the inflammation in the joint can result in damage that's not reversible and therefore permanent disability in that joint could result.
DAFNA GLADMAN, MD: If a patient comes into the clinic with a large number of affected joints, they're more likely to have disease progression, more likely to develop more severe disease. The other thing that we have found is that more inflammation at the beginning is more predictive of severe disease.
PHILIP MEASE, MD: We have learned that there may be premature mortality in people with psoriatic arthritis. And we think that if we can control the inflammation early, that not only will we prevent disability down the road, but we may even prolong the life of people with psoriatic arthritis.
ANNOUNCER: New therapies are giving patients greater control over the symptoms of their disease and significantly improving quality of their lives.

Virtual Reality
In a attempt to look at how our relationship with technology can potentially change our inherent identity, British artist Mark Farid is pledging to spend 28 days isolated inside virtual reality, seeing only footage of someone else's life. This social experiment called "Seeing I" is currently raising funds on Kickstarter and if successful will see the brave artist lock himself away in a small room, equipped with nothing but a bed, toilet and shower, all the while being completely visible to the public.

BAE Systems using VR tech to design Royal Navy warships
Like many endeavors, making warships is a matter of specialization, with the various parts of the project scattered about the country or even across the world. For the Royal Navy and its principal shipbuilder BAE systems, this means engineers in Glasgow, Portsmouth, and Bristol having to work together despite being hundreds of miles apart. BAE's answer is a network of "visualization suites" that allow teams to meet in a virtual environment where they can build and test designs as full-scale 3D prototypes before sending them to the shipyards.

Measurable virtual reality reveals robots' intentions
Imagine if you were trying to develop an autonomous robot, and it continually made a mistake but you couldn't tell why. Ultimately, you might end up having to review all the lines of code that made up its programming, hoping that the error would just jump out at you. In order to avoid such scenarios, MIT's Ali-akbar Agha-mohammadi and Shayegan Omidshafiei have created a system known as measurable virtual reality (MVR). It projects a robot's perceptions and intentions onto the floor, so that designers can see what it's thinking. Read More

Alfonso Valiente - who split from Nicole's mother Rosemary when she was six but remains close to his daughter - told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: "You know about the proposal? Yes they are engaged.
"My future son-in-law is a really nice guy, really down to earth.
My family all like him. The good spirit is there."
Alfonso, 52, says he first met Lewis last year after the couple spent a week with him and his family on the Hawaiian island of Oahu and the sportsman left a good impression.
He said: "When he walked into the house for the first time he picked up one of the babies. That went down very well.
"He is sincere and he and my daughter seem genuinely happy together. Lewis is a really good guy. When they came to visit, we hired them a Jeep because he had never driven one before."
Settle down
While a spokesman for 25-year-old Lewis refused to confirm their engagement, Nicole recently revealed how she wants to settle down and have children.
The 32-year-old singer said: "Do I see us getting married and having children? My head says yeah, but I'm really focused on my music now and I think that will come in time.
"I think I'll be really strict like my momma, maybe even worse. I won't let my children out of the house! I'll make them listen to classical music."

One morning when I slipped out of bed, my foot stepped on something wet on the small
Oriental rug next to my bed. Wow — what was that? A quick smell confirmed my fear that it was indeed cat urine. The question I asked myself was, "Why would either of my two cats urinate here and not in the
Many folks would quickly jump to the assertion that the early morning puddle I found on my rug was a case of "inappropriate" urination — which it very well could be. But let's stop and think for a minute: Is it really inappropriate for a cat to urinate outside the litterbox if he is possibly dealing with any one of a variety of disorders ranging from behavior issues to cystitis (usually sterile) to urinary stones? Or, what if he is having problems making urine that is concentrated because of chronic kidney disease, hyperthyroidism or diabetes mellitus? Any one of those conditions could make him need to urinate more frequently and more urgently, making it less likely that he'll use the litterbox.
For example, let's look at behavior issues as just one potential cause of "inappropriate" urination. The term "behavior problem" bothers me because the problem is almost universally targeted toward the cat. In reality, many behavior issues are often more related to the owner's lack of understanding about how some important animal husbandry concepts work, especially regarding cats.
In my experience, the number-one problem with cats urinating outside the litterbox relates to inadequate cleaning and hygiene of the box. Sometimes there are substrate issues (meaning, the type of litter is not one that the cat prefers or is a type that has adverse effects on him). Additionally, most owners of cats do not understand how vitally important it is to provide enough convenient litterboxes or how often the box should be cleaned. The rule of "One + One" is often violated.
This is the rule that states there should be a litterbox for every cat plus an additional one in different locations to ensure optimal opportunities for each cat to use the toilet (for example, a household with four cats would need five boxes). I have two cats and had two litterboxes right next to each other in the basement, so when I put my foot in a puddle that morning, I already knew I was guilty of being in violation of this very basic rule of litterbox management.
Another "rule" is that litterboxes should be scooped at least once daily. Twice daily is even better. Many times cat owners do not scoop the box because they don't see anything in it that needs scooping. The problem is that some cats deeply bury their urine and feces, and, to the owner, it appears that yes, the box is clean. But keep in mind this may be just "surface" clean. When one goes looking for "buried treasure," it is surprising to see how much feces and urine can be retrieved from what many cat owners would call a "clean" box. When cleaning, one must remember to scoop below the surface, not just on top. In my personal situation, I was only scooping once a day and that was clearly not enough cleaning for my two cats.
Also, once a week the litter should be discarded and the litterbox cleaned, preferably with something that does not leave a residual odor. It is sometimes a good idea to experiment with several different litter types to find one that your cat truly enjoys. When cats are having a particularly difficult time getting back to using the litterbox, peat moss may be a surprisingly effective substrate to use as litter — most cats seem to like this texture from what I can tell. Using a litter that has been treated with an "attracting" substance can also help get a cat back into his litterbox. The goal is to provide an optimal environment that encourages cats to willingly go into the box, stay long enough to urinate and complete bowel movements, and then cover their "treasures."

Appleton Rum is some of the best rum in the world, mon, made in Jamaica!---there are about 6-7 products of Appleton's, from regular rum to Blue Label Rum---you should always ask for the 12 year rum or better when in Jamaica----Overproof is not Appleton and very strong tasting, whereas Appleton 12 year old rum is very smooth and tasty! Blue label is not offered very often and should be tried when available! Incredible mouth feel and taste...
There are tours you can take of the factory---www.appletonrumtour.com
Rum is available in most mini marts and grocerys for cheap $$$---I paid $20 US for a bottle of reserve at a mini mart in Negril---cheaper at the airport with your boarding pass.....$17 for the 12 year old stuff.....Related to:

Watching the Sunset every night!
Negril is on the westernmost point of the Island of Jamaica, therefore gets sunsets directly out in the ocean every night, unless cloudy....From most cliffside places, and of course from the beach, you can see magnificent sunsets while drinking a Red Stripe beer, or an Appleton Rum drink in hand----there is a legend that at the right time, you can see a green flash right at the last moment before the sun sinks completely, but I have never seen it---maybe one day!Related to:

Skinny Dipping in Negril
That is the kindest way I can put it---skinny dipping in the ocean is one of my favorite things to do in Negril since I was 19 years old. It is less common than back in the 1970's but there are still places you can get naked and swim, sun and otherwise be naked in the Jamaican sunshine. At the beach I can recommend Hedonism 11, which has a beach, a pool, a jacuzzi and other areas that nudity is normal, along with other lifestyle areas as well. Grand Lido Negril has a beach, a pool and a jacuzzi available for naked folk, and Couples Negril which has a beach for naturists.
The Cliff's are a little more grey area----
I now stay at Seagrape Villas which is very private, and the staff is used to nudity. There are 2 cottages at the ocean's edge which are open to each other to some extent, but separate as well. I have stayed at one cottage and other folk were in the other, and I was not uncomfortable being naked on my side of the property when they were not on theirs, although my experience is that people that see me naked, sometimes try it out for themselves....A very rewarding experience for me......
There are other cliffside resorts that may allow discreet nude sunbathing such as CatchaFallingStar, Citronella, Blue Cave Castle and a few others.....just ask when booking--they will be honest and say if nudity is optional.....
Hedo sends up a nudie boat for cliff sightseeing one day a week---you can see them swimming at Josephs Cave alot..Related to:

Visit Xtabi and the caves
Xtabi (ex-tabee) is a resort on the cliffs about halfway up to Ricks from the roundabout, and is on the site of the old Awee-Maway resort of the 60's, for those old timers who may have been there. There is a really cool cave with stairs going down from the bar area---during peak season they even set up a bar down there, and you can also get into the water really easily here with a small ladder to get out---if you are not staying here, I always recommend that if you are going to use some of their facilities, you need to buy something, if only a few Red Stripes. The food is really good here--- for lunch they have a great club sandwich (with fried egg!) and the rum is always good.Related to:

Get Married!
Lots of people get married in Jamaica, and it is hard not to run into one while you are visiting! On this last trip, there was a wedding at the Xtabi resort on the cliffs---most resorts have deals where if you stay there, the wedding is free or greatly discounted, so if this is your dream, Negril would be a great choice!Related to:

Beverly for massage/woman's day
I have known Beverly for years, and she has done many things in her life, among them massage therapist, clothing designer, rastafarian woman, and many other things---she is a lovely Jamaican lady and does massages and things like nails and pedicures in her roadside hut across the road from Tensing Pen on the cliff-lighthouse road.She can also put those colored beads in your hair before going home for that Jamaican look! I think she also has a spot on the beach during the day.Related to:

Cliff-jumping in general
If you are going to jump off of a cliff in Negril, don't do it really drunk or stoned. Think about this as similar to driving a car, or operating equipment that is valuable.....There are places around the West End where you can jump from 2 feet all the way to 50 feet and more, so pick your poison and be really careful. I have jumped off the cliff at Catcha Falling Star, which has 2 jumps, 8 feet and 20 feet (approx) and I did the 8 feet one there. I have never jumped at Ricks Cafe, where the guys jump from the treetops into the bay---probably 50-60 feet...My personal opinion is that most tourists would be stupid to try this....Banana Shout has a really good place to jump about 12 feet, which is about my tops.....most water around the cliffs' edge is at least 10 feet deep, so just a little outwards jump and you should be OK---it's good to scope it out first with a mask and snorkle if not familiar with the place.....Related to:

Joseph's Cave swimming, cliff diving
Joseph's Cave is next door to Rock House Resort on the Cliffs----there is a small restaurant right on top of the cave and a way down from the other side of the road (unless you are jumping!) This is a big bay where some of the folk staying at the beach come up on pleasure boats to swim, snorkle and jump off the HIGH cliff. The nudie folk from Hedo come here at least once a week.....fun to watch....they usually have slides coming off their boat into the bay...
One of the stories going around is that pirates and ganja runners later, used this as a storage for treasure and ganja. It is really cool to go inside in a small boat all the way to the back , where there is a small beach and the stairs going up. There are always one or two boats cruising up the cliffs (Vincent is one) that will stop, pick you up and take you sightseeing.
Supposedly parts of the movie Pappillon was filmed right here. (Dustin Hoffman)Related to:

Pickup at Montego Bay, and tours
My old friend Tony Vassel can pick you up at Sangster Airport in Mobay for the drive to Negril, which takes about an hour and a half. It is a fun drive along the coast going through some interesting towns along the way. He can stop for food and drink if you want as well. Tony also takes folk to Y's Falls, and other places nearby for a small fee. Just remember that gasoline is pretty expensive in Jamaica. The ride from Mobay to your hotel in Negril should run about $75-$80 which can be divided by the number of riders. He also rents scooters (Tykes Bikes) that you can use to go down to the beach easily when staying in the Cliff area.Related to:

Bamboo Avenue
I put this on my Negril page but its more like Middle Quarters on the South Coast of the island.
From what I was told, the bamboo was planted here during the early 20th century. Its about 2 1/2 miles long and was planted here to give shade from the hot sun to the sugar cane workers. Its not a real big deal but if you are in the area check it out. It looks like a tunnel made of Bamboo. It looks pretty cool.
YS Falls
This isnt exactly in Negril, its more on the South Coast of the island. Its is closer to Negril than to Montego Bay or Ocho Rios. You can also do a day trip out of Ys Falls, The Appleton Rum Estate, Bambo Avenue and Black River. Yes, all this can be done in one day.
These are eight falls separated by pools of beautiful fresh water. You can climb these falls to but its not as slippery as Dunns Falls because you climb on the outside of the falls. They have built stairs for you to climb up. These falls will actually be better for kids.
The entrance fee is about $15 usd and they are openned from Tuesday through Sunday from 9:30am- 3:30pm.
When we first arrived we paid our entrance fee then went on a long tractor that took us through acres of privately owned land called YS estate. It is so beautiful. There were horses, and cows and rivers and beautiful landscape. There are also clean bathrooms, changing rooms and lockers.
I really liked this place, I think I liked it better than Dunns Falls. But really, both were beautiful.
The Black River Safari
We did the black River safari tour by total chance. I wasnt on the top of our list but our driver Lee said we could do this tour, the waterfall tour and the Rum tour all in one day because it is on the same part of the island so we said ok.
It was about an hour long and pretty interesting. I was surprised to see the crocodiles here because I didnt know they had any. Also it seems like the Crocs like to hang out in the same spots all the time because the Tour guides driving the boats knew exactly where to go to find them. They even named all of them. Since the weather is warm the croc come out pretty far. It was very interesting. We also saw different types of birds and local plants. Dont ask me names because I dont remember.
Driving Tour & Photo Safari Around Island
In Negril, it seems as though everyone is a taxi driver, however only those with red license plates are actually certified taxi drivers. Always negotiate the price of your excursion and intended destination before getting into the cab. Most people will stay true and honest once they've given you a price. Negotating is often a part of the experience, so simply be prepared for this, or set up all of your travel arrangements before reaching the island.
If you haven't arranged a booze cruise, river tour, jungle tour, or other trips in advance, than feel free to just take a taxi tour around the island. Most drivers are happy to take you around and show you what they are proud of within their country. Many drivers hang out around hotels and downtown Negril- so it's never hard to find one. The drivers often have the best recommendations for places to eat as well as safe places to hang out at night.Related to:

Touring with Sexy Rexy
I went with some friends to Jamaica, and we ended up finding this tour guide called Sexy Rexy. He was awesome! He took us to Blue Mountain, Kingston, and YS Falls. Each night we ended up staying in Negril drinking at these various bars. It was an awesome experience, being a fun and safe way to see Jamaica.Related to:

A must is to go snokling with a very nice captain named vincent . His name is on the side of his boat. You will get to see the island from a different beautiful veiw!

Not a lot of $ . Oz also picked us up at the airport nice van and very nice man with a lot of info about what and how to do it !

In renovating this kitchen, a dividing wall was knocked down and a window added to provide natural light. Hard-wearing Baltic pine timber floors were stained with semi-gloss polyurethane in half walnut and half black. The floors continue through into the living and dining areas, thus extending the flow of space. Matching splashback tiles to the prevalent colours in your kitchen also helps to make the space look larger (ours are from Aeria).
The free-standing island in the centre of the kitchen fulfils many functions. As well as working as a breakfast bar, it is also a handy food preparation area, and contains dual sinks, two Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer dishwashers, and a cupboard for cleaning products. Having two dishwashers can be remarkably convenient – use one for morning and one for evening, or one for crockery and one for glassware.
These A-Plan 'Soft Touch' drawers come with adaptable dividers for different configurations – eliminate the clutter of a utensil and cutlery drawer, or create a neatly ordered space for your dried herbs and spices.
As the kitchen is dominated by white and stainless steel, fresh touches from nature, such as a pot of growing herbs or a platter of fruit, help to personalise the space and inject colour.

As much as I love iOS6 I don't want it on my laptop. Why MS would want the same OS on phones as well as the desktop is beyond me.
If I were to make Win 8, it would be continuing the trend of simplicity. Re-design the "Start" menu and force people to learn to use the quick launch. Cut the old Start menu apps area and simply launch applications. Make install/uninstall as easy as it is on OSX and most phones. Hide a lot of the technical behind the scenes crap that 99% of users don't ever need to see. Do a better job of eliminating the nagging and crap pile-up in the bottom right corner where programs keep installing. Do a better job of managing startup applications and processes so garbageware doesn't pile up.
There's a lot of opportunities for streamlining and modernizing Windows 7 while making it more efficient and robust...no need to completely overhaul the interface and run dual operating systems.
It feels like a proof of concept, doesn't it? Like they're testing it for mass consumption? But then they released it.
I have heard that Windows wants to do small annual iterations like OSX. That's a smart idea, but they need to pare the OS down and get a rock solid foundation first. Win 7 was VERY close but needed to be streamlined. Win 8 is a disaster.
I will say if they can drop the price of Windows down to $30-40 that could go a long way. OSX is free (well you need a Mac) and the 18-24 month upgrades are $30 or so. I like that a lot more than a new Windows version every 3-5 years that requires a fresh install and costs $100.
