...a Love-ly spot, just the on-ly one That means home, sweet home to me. If you follow the old Kit Car-son trail, Un-til des-ert meets the hills, Oh you cer-tain-ly will a-gree with me, It’s the place of a thous-and thrills. Home means Ne-va-da, Home means the hills, Home means the sage and the pines. Out by the Truck-ee’s sil-ver-y rills, Out where the sun al-ways shines, There is the land that I love the best, Fair-er than all I can see, Right in the heart of the gold-en west, Home means Ne-va-da to me. When-ever the sun at the close of day, Col-ors all the west-ern sky, Oh, my Heart re-turns to the des-ert grey And the mount-ains tow-‘ring high. Where the Moon-beams play in shadowed glen, With the spot-ted fawn and doe, All the live-long night un-til morn-ing light, Is the love-li-est place I know.

Sung by each verse Way out in the land of the setting sun, Where the wind blows wild and free, There's a lovely spot, just the only one That means home sweet home to me. If you follow the old Kit Carson trail, Until desert meets the hills, Oh you certainly will agree with me, It's the place of a thousand thrills. Home means Nevada Home means the hills, Home means...

Who is God and what is God? God is water and water is God! The earth and the heaven become the holy home for God! Firms and farms fill that temple with lethal filth! How satanic man has grown! Privatisation of Love As spontaneously, love sprang in me, “Civilize your love,” they told me! As naturally, love sprouted in me, “Culture your love,” they warned me!

...death-marked love, And the continuance of their parents’ rage, Which, but their children’s end, naught could remove, Is now the two hours’ traffic of our stage. The which, if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend. Juliet talking to herself right before she takes the potion. Act IV, Scene iii Farewell! —God knows when we shall meet again. I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins That almost freezes up the heat of life. I’ll call them back again to comfort me— Nurse! —What should she do here? My dismal scene I needs must act alone. Come, vial. Juliet on the balcony. Act II, Scene ii O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I’ll no longer be a Capulet. ‘Tis but thy name that is my enemy. Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What’s Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face. O, be some other name Belonging to a man. What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other word would smell as sweet. So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name; And for thy name, which is no part of thee, Take all...

...A journey by boat It was Durga Pooja vacation. I had come to my native village with my cousins. As we had no work there, we found the village life very dull. Suddenly an idea struck in my mind and soon we decided to go on a journey by boat. A day was fixed for the journey. The river was not too far. On the fixed day we took our bags and some things to eat and started for the river bank on foot. As we had already hired a boat, we found it ready. The boat was small but it was beautifully decorated. There were two boat-men who instructed us to set properly on both the sides of the boat. It was morning and the sky was clear. A fine cool breeze was blowing. As soon as we took our seats in the boat, it began to move on water. They were really thrilling movements in our life. We all were in high spirit. The' boat was moving gently. The river water was shining in the rays of the sun and was presenting a beautiful scene. It looked white like silver. There were many more boats of different shapes and sizes sailing in the river. There were men, women and children in those boats. The children were very excited and were shouting with joy. All of a sudden the cool breeze stopped blowing and we felt a bit hot. One of my cousins suggested enjoying cold drink which we had brought in our bag. Soon it was midday and we decided to take our lunch. Up to this time we were on the other side of the river. The boatmen tied the boat to the bank and guided us to a restaurant. We took our meals. We enjoyed...

...Where a Kid Could be a Kid As we waited in line for the restaurant to open there was a thrill of excitement in the air. We had arrived for the celebration of my little cousins birthday. As I pushed the door open, the scenery rapidly changed as I set foot on what seemed to be a new planet. We had returned to Chuck E. Cheese. The color of the walls, the color of the carpet, and the color of the ceiling all seemed to affect every person that entered the room with a positive attitude. The restaurant, in fact, did not smell pleasant at all; an oniony stench that ran through the room. Chuck E. Chesses reminded me of when we once ran around happily, excited to be living in happiness. I tried to invite my friend but her mean self replied with “Nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded” The excitement was revealed after the children saw the flashing lights, and heard the loud noise that seemed to be escaping from the games that was spreaded out all through the restaurant. It was then that I felt as If it was I that was running around playing the games, as if it was I sliding down the slippery slide, and as if I were eating the dull pizza that I once thought of as the most delicious food at Chuck E. Cheese. There was a small boy that stood out from the crowd, a curious looking child. He was very well dressed; He had a chunky but adorable face; His expensive shoes suggested rich but his dirty shirt and dirty pants and dirty hair the opposite,i was thinking he was having a little to...

...Not your complex beliefs that you and they don’t even understand. I am one of five children, and my siblings don’t even know or care about the unnecessary conflict that revolves around this holiday. All they think about is the thrill of walking around our neighborhood at night receiving free candy and being with family. I believe that parents should allow their kids to have fun, without ruining a magical and joyous time for them. No parent should force their beliefs on their child, especially at such a young age. They’ll grow up with this single theory floating in their mind and not be able to even consider other ideas because they haven’t been given a chance to. Many children grow up not even knowing about religions outside of their own. It’s important for a child to be shown the diversity of our world and to see everything it has to...

...For example, Six Flags over Georgia, Stone Mountain Park, and the Atlanta Braves Stadium, are all in or near the city of Atlanta. Six Flags Over Georgia is the largest regional theme park in the Southeast. Six Flags boasts more than 40 rides and attractions. With 11 roller coasters, 3 children's areas, 3 water rides, award-winning shows and numerous other thrill rides, a day can be spent making memories to last a lifetime. The Ninja, is my favorite. The Ninja goes up and down steep hills and even loops upside down. During the summer months, you can splash around in Skull Island, the park's huge interactive water play structure featuring dozens of water slides. My favorite water ride is Thunder River. Last year, I was lucky enough to get caught under the cool splash of the big waterfall. In October, Six Flags is transformed into a haunted theme park for Fright Fest. Halloween shows, roaming zombies and terrifying ride makeovers make Fright Fest the best Halloween experience in Atlanta! Six Flags also has water rides available to keep people cool. Six Flags also has games to play and many souvenir shops. As for the sweets, the funnel cakes are absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend Six Flags as a place to go when visiting the Atlanta area. Stone Mountain Park is another tourist attraction near Atlanta. The Park is Georgia’s most-visited attraction boasting the world’s largest piece of exposed granite rock and longest running laser show. The Laser Show Spectacular...

...hair-raising fear. For me, I always enjoy myself and experience a wonderful time. As for Claire, she has never experienced the excitement. Gladly, I was able to talk her into facing her fear of “America’s Rockin Roller Coast”. To join us in the fun, I invited Tyler and Katie as well. When it was all said and done, we planned a date and time to meet to travel up to the Lake Erie peninsula. The morning dew was among us as we loaded up into Tyler’s SUV. Before we started our adventure, we stopped at the local gas station to stock up on morning snacks for the ride. Although we didn’t grab actual “breakfast” food, candy and sweets will do. To pass time in the car, Tyler turned on some music. We listened to various genres, including rap, pop, and country. After about two hours, across the lake, we saw the eye-catching, towering sight of the “Top Thrill Dragster”. We had made it. Unfortunately, when we traveled through the opening gate, there were many cars inhabiting the spaces. At that moment, we knew it was going to be packed. After we found a parking spot, which...

...city. Even at midnight, the sky was brighter than the caliginous graveyard-like city. Airplane pilots would exhibit amazing skill when taking off and landing their high-tech planes – without crashing into each other. After all, only those with said amazing skill, were allowed to fly. Although the shops were smothered in darkness, luscious smells emanated from within them, each with their own mouth-watering taste. Bakeries baked crackling brown bread, whilst sweet shops created stunning, sugary, edible works of art. Restaurants specialized in several cuisines, each one appealing to their indigenous crowds. The overall smell was an astounding mixture of smells from all the different shops, which resulted in a thrilling climax for my taste-buds. Finally, my eyes started to shut, whilst my mouth started to water, and I started to feel drowsy; what was meant to be a quick glance, turned into a living dream. The ‘moment’ had passed all so quickly; I lay back into my bed and drifted back to sleep. This city was a panoply of thrills. It was, the lost city of the future. ...

...The idea that all these new stimuli are literally changing our brains, in ways that we have no idea yet, is absolutely mind boggling. I almost don't want to believe it, because, it's well, so hard to believe. I agree that scientists most certainly need to start looking into these potential, changes in our brain, and get some answers to the outcomes of the prolonged use of these technologies to our brain, sooner rather than later, when it's too late. I also think that there should be several conversations about the speed of change and potential impact to our brains, and therefore our selves. I agree with him on a lot of the points he brought up though. The author states, "We could be raising a hedonistic generation who live only in the thrill of the computer-generated moment, and are in distinct danger of detaching themselves from what the rest of us would consider the real world." This is so close to the truth it's scary!! Too often almost everyone I know is drowned in technology, day after day, from sun up till sun down, sometime's never even coming up for air. The first thing they do is get on their phones while they walk over to their computer, in order to submerge themselves in a virtual world to start the day out! And this is happening all over the world not just with the people I know, which makes you just feel helpless and stand back in complete disbelief, to this new technology driven world that's upon us. What worries me is that if something as innocuous as...

...Universal Energy, Inc. The Oil & Gas Crossroads Steve Ferris is sitting in his new office at Universal Energy, Inc. contemplating the importance, as well as the complexity, of his first assignment. Steve has recently joined Universal Energy, Inc. as Vice-President, Business Development after spending the past ten years at British Petroleum. He is excited, and just a bit overwhelmed, with the first task given him by Universal’s CEO. His job is to conduct a thorough environmental analysis that will be used as the foundation for the later development of a competitive land lease proposal for oil and gas production on a plot of land in Colorado owned by the state. The CEO has hired him for his strategic background and reputation for leading teams. Because the bid has a tight time schedule, the CEO has already formed the team Steve will be working with. There are representatives from a cross section of the company including finance, engineering, human resources, management, government affairs, legal, and the relatively new corporate responsibility/sustainability areas. The team’s task is to use secondary sources (no time for primary research) to inform the proposal development team around six basic environments—political, social, economic, regulatory, competitive, and technological. Besides describing the issues, they have been asked to provide conclusions and recommendations going forward to the proposal group. The results of this analysis will be used by the proposal...

...The past couple of days had gone by in a whirl that Ian barely had time to process them. One minute he was going through his daily routine and the next, Mickey was back in his life giving him that thrill he never thought he’d ever feel again. It crazy how much time had passed since they last saw each other and yet, it was like no time had passed at all. The same sparks were there as they had been all those years ago when Ian barged into the Milkovich house with a pipe. Jesus. Had it really been that long? Ian glanced over at Mickey, who was looking up at the night sky. The corners of his lips pulled upwards as he thought about Mickey’s earlier words. Hey, you ever think back in the day, this is where we’d be? Ian had given him a different answer, but still, his mind flashed back to that night on the baseball field after Mickey had just gotten out of juvie. The older boy had dismissed the idea of them looking for shooting stars while spread out on a blanket. While they weren’t looking for shooting stars, they were still lying on the blanket Mickey had found in the car they had stolen....
