Chris Burch opened a dream resort property just a few years ago, and what he did was take it from a one building surfer hostel to a multiple beach villa 5-star hotel. Burch had already had years of experience in home renovation and redeveloping, and he came up with his own ideas on how he could have Nihiwatu Resort built into one of the most beautiful beach hotels in the world. All that guests need to do is just take a walk along its paths and see how the resort is integrated right into nature without disturbing it. Burch owns most of the shares in this multi-million dollar property, but he still relishes his original business roots.
Chris Burch came from a small town in Pennsylvania and then was attending Ithaca College when he first realized his business ingenuity. Chris Burch had an off-the-wall idea to begin a sweater sales business by buying sweaters from a manufacturer and selling them around the neighbourhood. The business was a bigger success than Burch anticipated, and before long it was bringing in enough revenue to open up outlet stores and its own factories. It was named Eagle Eye Apparel and it opened locations all over the Northeast coast.
Chris Burch decided after some time to explore new business ideas and new investment opportunities, and he started buying shares in the Internet Capital Group and Guggenheim Partners, a private equity firm. While he was married to fashion icon Tory Burch, he helped her start her own fashion line which was featured on several talk shows and had department stores opened all over the nation. Burch decided to become a venture capitalist a few years later and start a company that would identify companies run by people who brought creative brand ideas to the table and invest in their disruptive business models. That was the forming of Burch Creative Capital that has seed funded Poppin, Voss Water, Pypestream, Actua, and Snowe Home, read more (Businessinsider.com).
Chris Burch had started his journey into real estate wealth in 2004 when he added the Faena Hotel + Universe to his portfolio. He bought several properties in partnership with the Argentinian firm run by Alan Faena, some of which he had resold for million in profit. He also had building materials supplied to contractors through his company J. Christopher. Burch became a billionaire around the same time he bought Nihiwatu Resort, and he's also a donor to institutes like the Rothman Orthopedic Foundation and the Tilton School, refer to wingsjournal.com.

Chapter 2
First Memories
When I close me eyes, open my mind and think of my first memory, it is always the same. I am standing by the front window in our house on St. Cummin's Hill. Looking out the window I can see my brother Derek getting into
Our house on the Hill is number 14; Mam's sister lives in number 13, unlucky for some and proved very unlucky for them. They are the Murphy's and their Dad, Sean, always looked very angry. Derek, my cousin Paddy, who's the same age as me, and I were terrified of him as children, but my Dad wasn't and one night when he wouldn't let Dad use their phone, Dad punched him in the nose and split his face, then turned around and told him to "Fuck off." Sean Murphy was always shouting at our cousins, I would have hated to have him as a father. He liked to kill animals, especially gray crows that ate the eyes out of baby lambs, he was in the gun club and had a sitting room full of trophies he'd won for marksmanship. Their sitting room was always dark and we learned never to go in there when he was there; "I can't see the fucking TV," is what he would say if you opened the door even a crack. Other people hated him because he was the social welfare officer and he pissed a lot of people off with his superior attitude. As kids we feared the name Sean Murphy, as some kids feared the bogeyman.
In all there were 18 houses in a line on St. Cummin's Hill, with McGuire's in pole position at the top and the Friels living at the bottom. The Friels were a family of settled tinkers, gypsies, itinerants, knackers, I'm not sure which one is the current acceptable term, but they provided a lot of drama and gossip for the town of Killybegs, almost as much as the Sharkeys. They always had a few greyhounds out the front of the house and a donkey or two tied to an ESB pole. In accordance with the heritage they stemmed from they collected car tires and batteries, pieces of old copper and bicycles out the front of their house. These objects would be rendered into money by some stretch of the imagination, recycling years before it became a cool-yuppie-middle class-save the whales motif. My most noted memory of the Friels is of them collecting periwinkles along the coast around Killybegs. In the summer months they could always be seen with a big sack of 'winkles over the bar of their bike. A periwinkle looks like a snail, and like escargot is a delicacy in the right market, but around Killybegs people just think of it as a dirty snail from the sea.
Our house had a green door and the paint was flaking, but all the years we lived there were happy years. We were poor, not Frank McCourt poor, but poor enough to be on welfare and having to live half the time at Granny's house. Dad was fishing and had a hard time controlling the drink. I don't remember much about his drinking, only that Derek and I use to hang out in Roger's Hotel and play video games and pool when weren't even tall enough to see over the top of the table.
He came back from the pub once and he and Mam had an argument and he shouted and she shouted and he got his brown leather suit case out of the hot press and threw clothes into it and threw some of my things in it too. I don't know where Derek and Jenny were, but only my stuff went in the suitcase. Mum went off to Granny's house and Dad said we were going to
Memories of him on land are what I really remember. In 1984 he bought himself a box of fish and a rusty old Fiat, with holes in the floor and he went In-Through to begin his Fish-Run. In-Through is an area west of Killybegs and there are loads of arguments about where it begins and where it ends. Depending on who you ask they'll tell you it starts after the next river or road after their house, nobody ever wants to actually own up to living there.
Well, Dad began to sell his fish door to door, getting up early every morning and not getting home till very late in the evening and had to leave again to go to the auctions down the pier. He was always gutting fish at the kitchen sink and soon we had a phone with the number 31497 and Dad had a business called C-Fish. Granda Sharkey helped him convert one of his sheds into his first miniature fish factory and he employed three men from the Hill: Cyril McBrearty from No. 10 and Nigel and John Joe Dowds who lived next door in No. 15.
The Dowds' were the best people in the world and always helped us out, especially Mrs. Dowds who felt sorry for Mam, being so young and having so many children and not a clue in the world. She made us buns and cups of tea all the time and when Jenny and I painted our hair with black paint, she put us in the bath and showed Mam how to get it out using margarine. The Dowds' were from the North and Mrs. Dowds and John Joe spoke with a voice that was different from the people of Killybegs. Her's was a little musical, a soothing voice you'd want to hear when you were up set. John Joe spoke less than Mrs. Dowds, but when he laughed his whole bald head went red. I'm very thankful for having known their whole family: Carol, Emmet and Nigel were like big brothers and sister to us.
Dad bought a cream colored Toyota Lite-Ace van and his fish-run In-Through was official. I went with him a few times and some of the old ladies gave me a pound or two for myself. Derek went more than I did because he was older and made more money too. Dad collected his earnings in a biscuit tin for coins and a S.M.A. baby formula can for cash. I often wonder if he misses that simple system?
The first nine years of my life are a blurred plethora of images: my first day at school, my first holy communion, first family holiday to

ANNAPOLIS -- Washington County might lose about 6,000 people from its legislative and congressional districts because of a bill that has been passed by both chambers of the Maryland General Assembly.
The bill excludes state inmates who were not state residents before their incarceration, and requires that prisoners be counted as residents of their last known address before prison.
About 6,000 prisoners are housed in the three state prisons south of Hagerstown, a prison spokesman said Friday.
Local jail populations are not included in the bill.
All but one of Washington County's eight local lawmakers voted against the measure.
The change in how to count the population will be relevant in creating legislative districts for the U.S. Congress, Maryland General Assembly, and county and municipal governing bodies, according to the bill.
Del. Christopher B. Shank, R-Washington, called the bill "a blatant power grab by, predominantly, the Baltimore City delegation." Changing how prisoners are counted will benefit the Baltimore City and Prince George's County delegations because most of the prisoners in the state prison system are from the more urban areas of the state.

Portland, Me. -- PART OF the price Paul Tsongas pays for being the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, however temporarily, is the no-win situation he is facing in the Maine party caucuses Sunday.
If Mr. Tsongas wins, his success will be written off as another expression of regional pride. If he loses, the result will be seen as a negative verdict on his electability.
Precedent points strongly toward a Tsongas victory here. Since 1976 the winner of the New Hampshire primary has captured these caucuses as well. That was even true in 1984 although Gary Hart had essentially no organizational presence in Maine and was running against an opponent, Walter F. Mondale, with the solid support of the party establishment. The day after Mr. Hart won his big upset in New Hampshire, Mondale strategists found their ostensibly most-committed supporters here describing themselves as undecided.

Both are Classic 3 Reel, 5 Payline slots with the bottom being a lower pay and the top being a High Roller game. You can try the demo game here but it is best to play this at an online casino such as the Vegas Crest Casino where you can play in full screen mode!
The Jumbo Joker is no ordinary slot, the goal is to play the High Roller game where you can really win some big jackpots. This is a risk to reward game so be prepared to be patient as this is a game were a good run really pays off.
The game starts with the bottom game and you need a 20 coin higher win in order to move up to Jumbo Mode game. A good hint here is to play the maximum amount of coins just like a video poker game.
The Jumbo Mode game has additional symbols and enhanced features for the Mystery Prize which is a random reward anywhere from 21 – 2000 coins. The Mystery Prize is much more attainable in the Jumbo mode and is just one of the reasons you want to move up to that level.
This is a game of control as you can cash out your Jumbo Meter at any times. Too many times we got carried away and had a big volume and next thing we knew it was empty! Part of the fun is watching the cash out take place. We built ours up to 600 coins and were very pleased to collect it! Click here to try the demo mode or check out the Free Casino Bonus at Vegas Crest Casino to play for real!
Have fun and good luck!

Valentine's Day may be the most "romantic day" of the year but it is also the best time to catch a cheating spouse or partner. If you have been having suspicions of infidelity in your relationship, take this opportunity to find out the truth once and for all.
This holiday of romance can be used to your advantage, especially if you have been suspecting an affair has been going on behind your back. New technology and surveillance equipment can help you gather proof to confirm your suspicions with 100% certainty.
Cheaters are liars and liars are going to lie. If you try to confront your spouse about your suspicions without proof, your cheating spouse is going to deny it. Sometimes even when you have the proof, they will still try to deny! Don't let your lying spouse continue to get away with their secrets and lies. You deserve to know the truth about your marriage or relationship.
A cheating man will buy his mistress a Valentine's Day gift. When he does, there will be a paper trail left in some form or fashion, whether it was paid for by cash, check, or credit card. You can take this opportunity to analyze and find out once and for all if your partner is carrying on a secret affair.
Your partner may also start to act differently because he or she is having to act like a loving partner with two people, which can become exhausting. Having two different lives is hard to keep up with, especially around this time of year where partners are expected to be loving and appreciative towards each other. This is the holiday of love after all! If you have been noticing strange behavioral changes, take note! This can be a major sign of cheating.
Infidelity does not have to mean the end of your marriage or relationship but there are problems that need to be addressed and worked out in order for the marriage to move forward in a positive direction. The first step is acknowledging the truth. This step is crucial because there is no way for a marriage or relationship to heal and become stronger until the truth is out in the open and the cheating partner accepts the responsibility for their actions. Many times, infidelity is an indicator that the relationship has other problems that need to be worked on but again, you cannot begin to work on these issues until both partners are 100% truthful with each other.
Conduct your own investigation now. Visit our official online spy shop: www.CheatersSpyShop.com for more information on how to catch your cheating spouse!

In this photograph I am pictured in the base church, El Camino Agape, with a graduated student and his family and a few friends from a new church that we are starting to plant in Lazaro Cardenas, an hour and a half south of Rancho Santa Fe Mexico Mission.
Pastor Jorge Roque studied with us a few years ago and has since been led to the San Quintin Valley, where he has done the evangelistic work to find a small and growing congregation. They now have a property and are seeking the Lord to call forth visiting work groups that would come to help them raise up asmall building where this burgeoning church can meet. Of course, they won´t be able to do this on their own, they will need our prayers and physical help.
In the Bible, II Timothy 4:5, Paul admonishes his young protégé, Timothy, to "be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry."
Anyone interested in organizing a work-project group to assist this developing church, please, contact me. I will put you in touch with Pastor Jorge and we´ll see what the Lord does to build this place. In biblical terms, I believe that we are taught that when we join together the impact is multiplied far beyond just the addition of those who join together. In God´s math, one plus one equals far more than two.
Pastor Jorge doesn´t speak English, but I speak Spanish and would be glad to translate for your group and to help your combined efforts go smoothly.
Training up students and training spiritual leaders and Christian teachers and Bible-knowledgeable pupils is important and something that makes a difference as the one teaches another, reaches another and so-on. However good and important that is, the main goal is to, through those that are able, plant new churches and to open up new areas for the work of God to continue here in Mexico. Free and clear Christianity is hard to find and there aren´t all that many Christian churches in Mexico. Remember, freedom of religion officially came to Mexico only back in 1993. Almost twenty years, that´s a long time, but it´s not enough time. Time is short and the laborers are few and there are just way too many people that, sorry-to-say, live Gospel-free.
Paul's words to Timothy: "And what you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others," II Timothy 2:2.
Let´s remember that God is not willing that anyone should perish. And, that we are not in need of Crystal Palaces as places of worship, just simple, block buildings with very minimal touches to make it extremely useable.
Please, pray with us and work with us, should the Lord so lead. Thank You and God Bless You, Too.

Photos by Amber Rose
Since the weather has been much cooler here in London and I can no longer live in my Topshop Mom jeans, a cropped tee and trainers or a little sundress, I have LIVED in variations of this look (cut off jeans, boots, jumper tucked in, longish coat). It's so comfortable, practical (I can really stomp around in heeled ankle boots and have a few pairs in different colours and materials – velvet are a must!), it feels stylish and easy enough to mix up your jumper and boots in order to not get bored of it. I am a big fan of having a go-to look, as I hate standing in my wardrobe stressing out about what to wear when I'm in a hurry. Sure, I love putting fun, unique outfits together when I have time, but I also love having a staple look each season that I can rely on when I don't have the time to get creative. Lots of you have been asking me on my Instagram to do a blog post about my jeans/boots/jumper kind of look that I wear all the time, so I'm excited I finally found time to shoot these pics before a meeting in Notting Hill yesterday. I couldn't find the exact Gucci sunglasses I'm wearing, so have linked to similar! Also, my handbag is Pop & Suki and my necklaces are from Missoma.
I hope you're all having a great day!

I think I feel pretty good. Some anxiety but otherwise not too shabby.
We ran at the fairgrounds and Jaymon is still out there somewhere running. I was being conservative and stopped at three miles even though mentally I wanted to go farther. Everything feels strong. I did some yoga and played on the monkey rings yesterday so my chest is sore and its making me unsure of what I am feeling but I know and recognize anxiety so I am trusting that my body is strong and able and it will just take time. The important bit is that basically, I ran!
Run Smiley :)

Random Thoughts on an Amazing Trip
Touched all five regions of Rwanda in 10 days – a truly invigorating, exciting yet knackering experience :)
North to Ruhengeri and Virungari; South to Murambi, Butare and Nyanza; East to Akagera; West to Kibuye and Central Kigali.
Could I recommend Ethiopian Airlines? Can't fault them for price. Baggage handling at Heathrow was excellent. Don't touch their veggie alternative in flight food – even if you have to go hungry! Leave plenty of time at the other end and check they have issued the right tickets for the right flight! You get what you pay for.
Marion's house is well cute. Shared with her three cats Shula, Mao and Ishuheri (shue). Off a main street in Kigali. Brick built but on a very traditional line with a thatched roof made from tree branches:
Over the road, beyond the yellow gate, is Ndolies. A local grocery shop that has within it the ability to change any currency into any other currency at better than bank rate :)
Round the back is a small circular out house that used to house a guard, not a very good guard, who has now been exchanged for a Kazie. Every home should have a Kazie!
The mode of transport of choice is the moto. Cheap n exciting. You may have mis givings but you have to, eventually, travel by moto. They look more dangerous than they are, don't travel fast just a bit irratically, but by far the cheapest and most available form of public transport.
One cameo worth relating. Day two, night time, and the three of us set off on moto's to a restaurant on the far side of Kigali. Rwandese do not like to disappoint so will always answer 'yes' to 'do you know where' and 'do you have' questions when often they haven't a clue. More than once moto's had to be redirected to the correct destination. After a while I was aware that the other two motos were not behind me. My driver only spoke Swahili. Needless to say I did not. The street lights were out, a common occurrence in night time Kigali, I hadn't a clue where we were going (thing is, did he?) or the direction back to Marion's if he did not and no mobile phone. Was I pleased when the other two suddenly turned the corner and rejoined me. Don't get me wrong I still felt very safe, for all its chequered past Rwandese currently treats visitors very well – once you come to terms with Musungu, more of that later.
We did the rounds of eating places in Kigali. But the best. The timing was set around Marilyn's birthday the high spot of which was a trip, organised by Marion, to Kigali's famous Indian restaurant, India Khazana. We awaited the meal. The lights went out. No one paid heed as power cuts are a regular feature of night time Kigali. A tray of candle lights appeared across the room and the delightful sound of the entire catering crew, bedecked in traditional costume, sang the 'jambo' song that dove tailed into 'happy birthday' and danced their way across the restaurant. Even as they approached the table, and the strains of 'happy birthday to you' emerged Marilyn was still convinced it must be someone else's birthday. Round the table they gyrated carrying Marilyn and Marion with them in the dance. Wonderful :)
But the gorilla trek has to be the high point. We were all issued with the tall walking sticks – with appropriately carved gorilla figurine carved tops. Setting off at a jaunty pace we crossed acres of potatoes fields, careful not to damage crops, passed a preserved old style native village. Nonchalantly swinging walking sticks we were beginning to wonder why we really needed them. Over the wall, half way up the steep muddy incline and you know why you needed walking sticks! Also later coming back down they saved many a tumble.
We were a team of 8 tourists – 3 Brits, 3 American and 2 Antipodeans + guides and pack carriers. A couple of hours into the trek and the first sighting of gorilla. We carefully closed in on each other, we looking for photo opportunity they looking for food (and a bit of posing for the tourists). The guides had a great way with conversing with the gorillas. The big silver back had an enormous propensity for eating vegetation and, naturally enough, breaking wind. Mother, baby, big ben were almost as close to us as you are to this screen. Truly fascinating. If you ever get the chance try to ignore the cost – Rwanda does have an emerging economy and many gorillas to support – it is one of life's amazing experiences.
Under the surface is always the genocide. Amongst such beauty it is even harder to comprehend why the genocide happened, though its marks and reminders are still all pervasive. There is no more poignant reminder than Murambi. Rows and rows of rooms full of bodies where they fell just covered in quick lime. I accept that you can read about it but until you stand in the middle of it - but there is little dignity for these people in death. A period that brings shame not just on their government of the day but also on the Belgian government, the Clinton administration, certain French troops and administrators, the United Nations - all of whom could have stoppped this but chose to look away - as well as the perpetrators. Many brave and wonderful stories of the 'Schindlers List' type. How easily this could have been stopped before it started. The ability was there the will so clearly was not.
Back via the national museum and a much needed rest by the waters edge.
Upward and ever onward to Akagera national park. Marilyn's actual birthday and a 4am start - but still had time for the traditional blowing up of balloons et al. Rwanda holds the smallest portion of the park. As the population grows the park reduces in size. The larger areas are in Uganda and Tanzania as were most of the big game. It was the end of the dry season in Rwanda so some of the species had gone abroad in search of water. But we had the most wonderful trip through the park in an open top Land Rover care of Bizidanny - if you ever manage to get there this is the guy to tour with. Best value for money, best drivers - just the best. Still managed to track down Impala, Giraffe, Water Buffalo, Wort hog, Monkey, Gibbon and a large heard of Hippo bathing close enough to touch.
The journey to Kibuye and Lake Kivu is a trial. Many, many, many, many bends on a packed bus, though round almost every bend is a new vista, changing landscapes and impressive valleys. These guys certainly know their vehicles to within an inch when overtaking up mountainous bends. Once there it's well worth it. Our room at Bethany was detached from the hotel right on the lake front with a veranda, surrounded by beautiful flowers and amazing birds, right by the lake side. Swimming in the lake is a treat, warm water. A great way to end the trip. It is something like the tenth largest inland lake in the world as is bounded by Congo and Tanzania. Sitting on a volcano the bottom third of its depth is methane, some of which is harvested and drives the local brewery, how neat is that :-p Occasionally, near the centre, the gas bubbles up n kills off the odd unsuspecting bather and they reckon it could host the largest inland tsunami one day – but that aside we had a seriously restful time.
Ignatius took us out on his boat. Landed on Napoleon Island (so called because it is shaped like Nappy's hat) and climbed part way up a goat track to observe thousands of bats. We had not been fore warned of the trek so did not have appropriate footware so had to abandon the rest. Later we were offered a stop at an island for a swim. We pointed out to Iggy that we had no costumes, his response 'we have life jackets on board' met with some consternation. Marion tried explaining that he would endear himself more to tourists if he told them what to expect before he set off and he promised to put together a 'proforma' (techie speak seems to get everywhere these days).
Rwanda was a kingdom. It was also nearly three times its current size stretching into DR Congo and Uganda until the Berlin Conference, the root of so many territorial problems in Africa. The Mwami used to live in a traditional encampment - the only hut allowed three protruding roof prongs. Had the most amazing roof. Also had huts to store spices and beer :-p
Lasting impressions. Hectic, vibrant humanity. Poverty in a country struggling, and in ways succeeding, to emerge as an economy, rather than abject poverty. With a large proportion of the population still outside of the cash economy it is often difficult to see how this all works but it seems to in an organised chaotic sort of way. At the interphase of poverty and development is the Singer sowing machine - one person businesses working these post war machines to perfection. Contained within the population a lot of strong women, both in the local community and the NGO community, that can and does move the country slowly on. Jasmine and Teresa who set up Tabara to empower single parents. You get left with the children and there are no benefits, no childcare/creche, every day you must find food for the next day yet some have the strength and resourse to campaign to help others. Here tens of pounds change lives not millions. The many NGO's we met, real characters, working to help develop local initiatives. It was an invigorating time.
Oh yes, almost forgot, the calling of Muzungu at white people. A local term used widely for something like 'rich, white colonialist'. A habit some people have got into. Happens in many places. Many NGOs have perfected the kiryrwanda phrase meaning 'my name is not muzungu, I have a name, it is .....' which once used usually turns the whole thing round and endears you for at least making an effort in the local language - like it does most places. Didn't bother us much, part because we did not know what it meant, but if encountered constantly I can see how it would irritate. Also there is a pervasive desire to get a bit extra out of you on many transactions driven, I'm sure, as much by a desire to get one over on the Muzungu as to make a financial gain. Often only involving 200 - 300RWF (20 – 30 pence) and oft overlooked by the tourist, but so constant to volunteers and ex pats that they will retaliate all they way – however long it takes, and who could blame them :) Would we go back - tomorrow if it were possible!

Prototype of a National Curriculum Framework
UNESCO. Oficina Internacional de Educación
MetadataShow full item record
The need to read and use this document as simply a sample or an archetype to be adjusted to national needs and contexts cannot be over-emphasized. The Prototype was developed out of context of any particular country, and draws on the experience of the IBE in a wide range of country and regional circumstances to elaborate what might typically be found in such a document. The starting point for processes to develop a real Framework, however, is the national context – the unique education history and traditions, the social, cultural and economic environment, and the national goals and aspirations. It is these that will shape the contents of any National Curriculum Framework. One of the first issues to be addressed in developing a National Curriculum Framework is the question of scope. In some country contexts including every level of education, from early childhood to the provision of post-school higher education and vocational training, could be deemed an appropriate scope for the Framework. Other contexts choose to have separate Frameworks for each level. This Prototype Curriculum Framework includes Primary, Lower Secondary and Upper Secondary education in its scope. Another dimension of 'scope' is the range of issues which any Framework seeks to address. For example, will the Framework deal with issues relating to teacher qualifications or quality of textbooks? There is no prescribed list of such issues to be included in a Framework, and what is included in a real education setting will entirely depend on the priorities and quality-related curriculum issues prevalent in that country. This Prototype attempts to illustrate how a sample range of issues can be addressed in a Framework.

My book titled, Haiku Fitzhugh, is now available.
Love you all!
My book titled, Haiku Fitzhugh, is now available.
Love you all!
To Be your first born girl
I should most definitely mean the world
To be your first born child
You should be there for longer than just a while
To be the one who gave you the title "mom"
It should be apparent as a "parent"
That when I need you when I ask
You don't push me off
and drift away so fast.
I need you forever
No matter what we go through
Our relationship should only get better.
Don't tell me about my siblings
And how they felt, and what you did
Must have slipped your mind
That I basically was second to raising those kids.
Now I need you here for me
But you're leaving
Using every excuse
While bringing up old shit from 2003.
But it's whatever
… I guess
Like you said, "I'll get over it"
Yea, you got better things to do
Trying to give me money
To brush off our issues
They're not going nowhere
Neither am I
I just hope you understand
How much I'm hurt
How much I've cried
Before you reach
Thee end of your time.
We lose our sleep
With the same song on repeat
Of how we're going to leave so and so alone
They will not defeat
Then we begin to think
What if I'll forever be lonely
In these dangerous streets
Where love is just a myth
To where we become numb to the truth of what it is
Ain't this some shit
We begin to say
I was just laying next to you the other day
Now I see you with a different person everyday
But still hit me up when they go a different way
As if I'm suppose accept your actions
I'm just minding my business
While you're out relaxing
With someone who you're gonna tell me is just a friend
Or better yet, my favorite lie
"That's just my cousin"
As if I didn't just see you tongue her down
But yet want to still keep me around
That's nasty
I don't like other people germs
Show me you love me and want me through your actions
You can keep your words.
I pray next life time
That you'll forever be mine
Not worrying about who & who hitting your line
That we'll forever be more than fine
I hope that you'll love me more than you do now
I ask that you will, for eternity
Hold me down
That you'll never look at anyone the same
That I'll be your peace and your sane
I want to keep you forever with me
Hold me so close
Very tightly
As we all know I'm very clingy
Forever I'll cherish you longer than eternity
I love you more than the winners love their money on jeopardy
Come home to me
Never let me go
Tell me how to love you
My actions will show
My heart will forever be in your possession
Come lay down
I'll show you more than affection
Maybe I was wrong about you at first
My heart feels different
Like it's going to burst
I just want to love you
Forever you'll be mine
I want you to be
My lifeline
It's your birthday today
You probably won't even read this
According to you
My actions are effortless
So no I won't be calling you
I know it's pretty rude
I'm just showing you
That I can do what you do
Am I living my dreams
Or am I only awaking each day to scream
Gotta wake up to wash up
To accomplish someone else's dream
Constantly praying to God
To help me get through this job
To keep me on the right path
So that I don't have to go out and rob
Why can't I just wake up rich?
I gotta actually work for that shit?
Don't wanna put my hand out
But my pockets are in a drought
It's nothing that rain can do
But bring many sad news
About this person and person
Getting in accidents too
Trynna turn my frown
Upside down
But all I can think about is being wealthy in the future
And bypassing the now!
What thee fuck am I to do?
When the bills are due?
Forget this thing called life,
Now it's your cue!
My heart
Needs to stop it
I'm losing all sight
From the current night
Yelling at me
Won't make things right
Blind to your words
Come show me some verbs
Walking away won't cure a thing
Playing like a harp,
My nerves.

Getting Ready for Air Conditioning Season
Another hot and humid Georgia summer is just around the corner--so is your air conditioner ready to keep your home comfortable without racking up a giant utility bill? Keeping up with simple air conditioner maintenance in Marietta will ensure you won't break a sweat. At Shriver Mechanical, Inc., we're here to help make your life easier. Follow these tips to get your air conditioner ready for the summer heat.
Clean around Your AC Unit
Don't try anything too advanced when it comes to cleaning the inner workings of the actual unit, but cleaning the surface and around the compressor is something you can easily do yourself. Make sure the area around the outside unit is tidy and free of overgrown bushes, lawn clippings, or other debris. Every time you mow the lawn, double-check to make sure everything still looks good. Keeping the surrounding area clean will help your AC run more efficiently, and it also means there is less of a chance the fan will get clogged.
Keep the Sun Out
If you're looking for ways to save money on your utility bills each month and help extend the life of your AC unit, keeping direct sunlight out of your home as much as possible will definitely help. Consider investing in blackout drapes and other window coverings. But it doesn't mean you have to live like a vampire to save money. There are options to block the heat of the sun while still getting natural light through. By blocking the excess heat, you air conditioner won't have to work as hard or as often to maintain the perfect temperature.
Change the Filter
Another simple way to keep your air conditioner running efficiently is to change the air filter every month. Stock up on filters during the colder months and set an alarm on your phone to remind you to change it. It's easy and will only take a couple of minutes. In turn, you will save money on your monthly bill and help you air conditioner last longer as well.

Tonight, BH helped out by making a cake. You can see how proud and happy he was about his work.
It was a simple cake, only one ingredient: Ground Malabar Black Pepper from Costco, approximately 1/3 of a cup. Take several spoons, a large bowl, and a baby bottle lid, and voila! Cake!
Earlier today, he prepared three strawberries using a dull steak knife, a popcorn-popping pot, and a muffin tin. Clearly, we have an aspiring chef or baker in the house.
The kids and their interests and passions are so funny and delightful and unique! It makes me happy to watch them wonder and create and make messes and learn.
Take this evening, for instance: it's been raining all day, and at dusk it was about 31 degrees. LC is my outside explorer. Once I pointed out to everyone that the trees were starting to coat with ice, she was out there with shoes (and fleece housecoat) on, investigating the branches and leaves. I love her zest for this and her seeming imperviousness to the cold or the rain when she's so excited to check things out.
In the foreground of the above photo is LC's "outdoor cooking" setup. She makes different recipes using backyard stuff like bark and leaves, dirt and twigs. It's one of her creative outlets. CA and CJ join in with her all the time, the three of them cooking up backyard goodness together.
You can faintly see the ice coating the thin branches above LC's head. The rain has continued all evening, and the temperature has dropped. Even as I write, we keep hearing branches crack and shatter on the ground. Thankfully, none have actually fallen on the house, nor have they been large enough to do damage. But there's a giant mess of them all over the back yard. It's strange and kind of exciting.
Here's CJ enjoying an ice-coated branch. An all-natural, organic, no-sugar popsicle!
Extra thankful for a warm, snug house tonight. Hopefully, we'll not experience any power-outage drama. The world around us will be all glittering and icy in the morning. I've promised the kids cinnamon toast for breakfast, in celebration of our big winter weather.

Finished decorative stone, its quality can be identified from the following four aspects:
Granite products
First, view that with eyes to observe the surface structure of stone. In general, fine stone structure with fine texture of the texture for the best of stone products; coarse and unequal grain structure of the stone less effective appearance, mechanical properties are not uniform, the quality is slightly worse. In addition, due to the geological effects of natural stone, often produce some veins and micro-cracks, stone is most likely to rupture along these areas, should pay attention to remove. As for the lack of edges and corners is more affect the beautiful appearance, the choice should pay particular attention.
Second, the amount of stone size specifications. So as not to affect the splicing or splicing patterns, patterns, lines deformation, affect the decorative effect.
Third, that is to listen to the stone percussion sound. In general, good quality, uniform and dense internal cracks and no stone, the percussion sound crisp and pleasant; the contrary if the stone internal micro-cracks or fine veins, or due to weathering lead to loose contact between particles, the percussion Rough voice.
Four , a simple test method to test the quality of stone. Usually drop a drop of ink on the back of the stone, such as the ink scattered scattered around quickly, which means that the internal loose particles or cracks in the stone, stone quality is not good; otherwise it shows that the stone is dense, good texture.
In the finished board selection, because the stone material is natural, can not be exactly the same texture, mining process in the level of technology there are differences,It will need granite cutting machines and wires.Most stone is graded. Granite stone without color stripes, most of the only color spots, there is a solid color. The finer the better the mineral particles.

Great article, thanks for the tips! Poland is a wonderful country to explore, the cities are full of historical significance with plentiful stories to tell and the countryside is vast and beautiful. However, there's a darker side – there are a couple of tourist targeted scams and crime to be wary of http://travelscams.org/europe/common-tourist-scams-poland/ReplyDelete
Do be wary of the two girls bar scam, currency exchange scam, Auschwitz tour scam, pickpockets, tourist photo scam, taxi fare scam, phony taxi scam, sleight of hand scam, friendly helper scam, scam bus companies, fake police and many more!

A deep condition is need every 7/10 to days regardless of the state of your hair: whether you're rocking an afro, in braids or a weave your hair needs regular hydration and deep conditioning.
The objective of conditioning is to:
- Reduce porosity - this helps you retain moisture better. This reduction in the porousness of hair occurs because conditioners have a lower pH than shampoo, i.e. they are more acidic.
- Increase softness - this makes hair easier to manage
- Increase elasticity - this in turn reduces the likelihood that your hair will break as you handle it (combing, blow drying, braiding etc.)
- Normalize the pH of hair following a shampoo
The deep conditioning process:
- Detangle thoroughly
- Wash your hair with water and then your shampoo if you use one
- Apply the deep conditioner generously
- Cover your head in a shower cap (I use two shower caps) then blow dry on top of the shower cap or sit under a hooded dryer for 5 minutes. The heat helps your hair to absorb all the good stuff from the product.
- I then cover my hair in a hat or a thick scarf so the heat is trapped inside
- When it's time to wash out the conditioner, I take the showercap off and let the hair cool down before rinsing the conditioner off first with warm water, then with very cool water to seal the cuticle layer of the hair.
If you intend to blow dry or flat iron your hair afterwards you can follow the deep conditioner with a moisturising condition. This will ensure the heat does not dry the hair out too much.
A deep conditioner followed by a moisturising conditioner, say what? Yeah, according to The Science of Black Hair you can do that.

Who We Are
Interested in joining us?
Prospective graduate students should contact PI Leonard directly, after reading the FAQ here.
For undergraduates interested in research experience, click here.
Principal Investigator: Dr. Anne Leonard
I am affiliated with graduate programs in both Ecology Evolution and Conservation Biology as well as Integrative Neuroscience. Before joining UNR in 2012, I was previously a Darwin Fellow at UMass Amherst, a PERT Fellow at the University of Arizona, and a PhD student in the UC Davis Animal Behavior Graduate Group. I am currently an Associate Editor at Evolutionary Ecology and Journal of Pollination Ecology. Beyond trying to teach bees, I also teach a class on scientific thinking for non-majors (spring: Bio 125), as well as a course on sensory ecology and evolution (fall: Bio 418).
I update sections of this website regularly, but for live play-by-play, follow us on Twitter:

Lab Members
Dr. Felicity Muth, Postdoctoral Researcher
Felicity has explored the cognitive basis of foraging for multiple resources. She's discovered that bees not only learn and remember visual associations based on pollen (protein) rewards, but they also can learn that one color of flower offers only nectar and the other only pollen. While she continues to push this NSF-funded study in a few new directions, Felicity is beginning research into circadian learning (AAUW fellowship) and the sublethal effects of pesticides on cognition (L'Oreal/AAAS Fellowship and USDA-NIFA Postdoctoral Fellowship).
Check out her recent updates on her personal webpage.
Jacob Francis, PhD Candidate, EECB program
Jake is interested in understanding what factors drive foragers' collection of multiple nutrients, and how those decisions translate into reproductive success for plants. Supported by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, Jake explores these questions through a combination of lab-based behavioral experiments, modeling approaches, and fieldwork at local Sierra Nevada field sites. Jake has also led our lab's affiliation with the Daugherty Scholars, a group of STEM education majors who spend time shadowing researchers.
Keep up to date with Jake on his personal website.
Devon Picklum, eecb phD student
Devon is developing her dissertation proposal, but is broadly interested in how pollinator behavior can mediate interactions between co-flowering plant species on ecological and evolutionary timescales. She has begun a lab-based project on visual signals involved in heteranthery, and a field-based project exploring patterns of putative convergence and facilitation in two Sierra Nevada wildflower species.
