Hate Crime Charges in Maryland McDonald's

TOWSON, Md. - A Baltimore County grand jury has indicted two teens in a beating of a transgender woman at a McDonald's restaurant that was caught on video.
The indictment returned Monday charges Teonna Brown with assault and hate crime in the attack on Chrissy Lee Polis at the restaurant last month. She is also charged with assaulting a customer and a McDonald's employee who tried to intervene.
A 14-year-old girl is facing the same charges in juvenile court. Both are being held.
A videotape of the April 18 beating posted online shows a woman being attacked repeatedly while an employee and customer try to stop them and the woman apparently having a seizure.
The State's Attorney's office says after a review of the evidence, no one else will be charged

Through Thick and Thin (TRIBUTE TO MUNCHQUETTA)

We all have friends, or even best friends, but do they always know how much you truly care about them? Just because they aren't always with you, dosen't mean they stop thinking about you, and vice versa. Don't ever forget to tell them how much they mean to you, whether near or far, true friendship is a bond that shall always remain.

I could skip a heartbeat, and I would survive,
I could be in a car crash, and still be alive.
The clouds could fall out of the sky,
The oceans could disappear, and all turn dry.

These things in life are all bad I know,
but there's far worse things,
just thought you should know.

Life would not be the same without someone like you,
You're there when I need you to help me through.
Through the good times and through the bad,
Be them happy, or be them sad.

I don't have to be with you, to know you're there,
We don't have to see each other, to know that we care.
We could be apart for years upon end,
and still remain the best of friends.

Life goes on, and people change,
And through it all, our friendship shall remain the same.
That's such as a life, and how things come to be.
Just thought you should know,
HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME.

AS I WATCH YOU GROW

Do you know how much you mean to me?
As you grow into what you will be.
You came from within, from just beneath my heart
it's there you'll always be though your own life will now start.
You're growing so fast it sends me awhirl,
With misty eyes I ask, Where's my little girl?
I know sometimes to you I seem harsh and so unfair,
But one day you will see, I taught you well because I care.
The next few years will so quickly fly,
With laughter and joy, mixed with a few tears to cry.
As you begin your growth to womanhood, this fact you must know,
You'll always be my source of pride, no matter where you go.
You must stand up tall and proud, within you feel no fear,
For all you dreams and goals, sit before you very near.
With god's love in your heart and the world by its tail,
You'll always be my winner, and victory will prevail.
For you this poem was written, with help from above,
To tell you in a rhythm of your Mother's heartfelt Love!

ODE TO MOTHERHOOD

 

© Faith E. Pilato

they say the child chooses
the parent before
they are conceived

God gave me lists
of mother's names
and pictures of them too.

I looked and looked
they all looked the same
and then I saw you.

Who is this woman?
I asked the Lord
She looks quite nice to me.
You have chosen well my child.
And he spoke these words to me.

She is kind and gentle
and very wise
and she will hold you
close to her
when you cry.

Her eyes will shine
when you take your first step
and smile at your delight.

She will show her pride
when you succeed
and pick you up
when you fail.

She will work hard
to give you the best she can
and rock you to sleep with weary time worn hands.

She will shelter you
on stormy days
and dry your fears away.
She will bask with you
in sunshine on
sunny summer days.

And when you are grown
like you soon will be
She will still be there
To comfort thee.

I choose her.
I told the Lord
For none like her
I've seen before.

And the day came
when I was born.
I had chosen well
of this I'm sure.

I picked you
above the rest
and because I did
My life is blessed

MY FAVORITE QUOTES

Just living is not enough.  One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.  ~Hans Christian Anderson


When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me."  ~Erma Bombeck


The purpose of life is a life of purpose.  ~Robert Byrne


I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world.  This makes it hard to plan the day.  ~Elwyn Brooks White


Life is simple, it's just not easy.  ~Author Unknown


A life without cause is a life without effect.  ~Barbarella


Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished.  If you're alive, it isn't.  ~Richard Bach


Life's not always fair.  Sometimes you can get a splinter even sliding down a rainbow.  ~Terri Guillemets

BECOMING A COSETOLOGIST

General cosmetology courses in the United States focus primarily on hairstyling, but also train their students as general beauticians versed in manicures, facials, etc. In a state-licensed beauty school, a certificate course in general cosmetology typically takes approximately one year to complete. Specialized, non-hairstyling courses such as manicure, facials, or makeup art are usually of shorter duration, lasting anywhere from two weeks to six months, although the most prestigious and exclusive beauty schools may offer much longer courses.
In the United States, all states require barbers, cosmetologists, and most other personal appearance workers (with the exception of shampooers in very few states, not including CA) to be licensed; however, qualifications for a license vary by state. Generally, a person must have graduated from a state-licensed barber or cosmetology school and be at least 17 years old. A few states require applicants to pass a physical examination. Some states require graduation from high school, while others require as little as an eighth-grade education. In a few states, the completion of an apprenticeship can substitute for graduation from a school, but very few barbers or cosmetologists learn their skills this way. Applicants for a license usually are required to pass a written test and demonstrate an ability to perform basic barbering or cosmetology services.^[4]
In most states, there is a legal distinction between barbers and cosmetologists, with different, licensing requirements.^[5] These distinctions and requirements vary from state to state. In most states, cosmetology sanitation practices and ethical practices are governed by the state's health department and a Board of Cosmetology. These entities ensure public safety by regulating sanitation products and practices and licensing requirements. Consumer complaints are usually directed to these offices and investigated from there.
Persons interested in practising cosmetology can graduate from a general cosmetology course and then obtain a license in any of the cosmetology sub-disciplines, or they can choose to study only to become a manicurist or esthetician. Students may choose a private beauty school or one of the many vocational schools which offer cosmetology courses to high school students. In addition, there are national organizations that provide educational and professional information.

FAILURE

Failure refers to the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

A Turning Point

The biggest turning point in my LIFE was when I found out I was going to be a MOTHER.
I was OVERWHELMED and at the same time TERRIFIED..... All these different thoughts were ZOOMING through my MIND. Like: WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?  and HOW AM I GOING TO PROVIDE FINANCIALLY? and the BIGGEST question of all. AM I REALLY READY? I kept going over those same questions OVER and OVER and OVER again until finally I told myself DANIELLE ITS TIME TO GROW FROM A GIRL TO A WOMAN

MR. RIGHT

Finding Mr. Perfect..........Hmmmmmm
I think there is no such thing...PERFECT...NO
MAKING PERFECTIONS...YES

But I do believe there is a Mr. Right.
First I would like to say when you meet Mr. Right/ THAT SPECIAL ONE
YOU WILL KNOW....
ME.... I think I have found that one.
I can truly say I am loved .
To me I think there is no one that better fits in my life.
HE is always there for me when IM UP or DOWN
and when we first met he said HIS FIRST THOUGHT was
that knowing the life he lives IM not going to be there for HIM
but little did HE know I proved him wrong.
HE told me the other day I really thought when I was in trouble that
YOU were going to leave MY side
I just laughed and said FOOLISH THOUGHTS ARE FOR YOUNG MINDED PEOPLE
its ONLY going on TWO YEARS and we have been through so MANY hardships
 but WE still managed to OVER COME those BATTLES.
THAT WAS JUST THE DEVIL TRYING TO KEEP US FROM RISING
HE has asked ME to marry him.... OF COURSE I SAID YES
but is that really what WE want......hmmmm. DECISIONS... DECISIONS...

MY FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT FACEBOOK

My favorite thing is that I can stay in touch with all of my old friends. Like for instance when I graduated from Cardozo Senior High School I didnt keep in contact with that many of my friends. So I created a myspace page but soon enough that got boring. Thats when I was told about facebook,( which really was originated for college students and adults) I wanted to create a facebook page. Then I saw that I can find my old friends. So I went on a hunt, soon enough I had found all my friends except my closest friend Kelly. So finally after searching and thruogh the magic of facebook I found her and we have kept in touch every since then.

If I Ran The World

I would make guns illeagal  to citizens. The only way anyone could get a gun if is they got their license to carry a gun from me. I would make it so that all health insurance paid for everything from A to Z. I would make peace with other countries so there would be no war. I would improve all schools and daycares. I would also help starving artist and other entertainers could get a chance to be famous. EVERYONE WOULD BE HAPPY.

BREAST CANCER

OMG THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS VERY VERY FREQUENT IN BLACK WOMEN. THE MAIN RISK FACTORS ARE AGE, GENDER, AND FAMILY HISTORY OF HAVING THE DISEASE. BREAST CANCER IS A MUTATION OF CELLS IN THE BREAST TISSUE WHICH LEADS TO A BREAST TUMOR.
HERE IS A PICTURE

CHARITY

I believe that people should donate at least once a year to any charity they choose. Every year when tax time comes I donate to a charity for children. This year I donated to St. Judes Hospital for Sick Children. But it really doesnt matter if the children are sick I feel that the world should provide for children period. The key is to SUPPORT THEM ALL.

Why I Blog

I blog because it helps me to relieve stress. It helps others to understand me .It helps my haters to envy more. IT DEFINES ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life brings me soup when I am ill
Life kisses me good night and greets me with a smile
Life is sad and it is lonely
Life is evil and Life is blunt
Life is a true friend and never lies
I am Life You are Life We are Life

Opportunity

MY OPPORTUNITY IS VERY GREAT OF BECOMING A MANAGER THERE BECAUSE ITS NOT HARD TO ACCOMPLISH IF I PUT MY MIND TO IT.

Relationship

In order to get to be a manager of guest service I would need to build a very strong business relationship first with myself and also with others that can help me get to that point in my idea.

RISK

In order to become a manager of guest services I would have to work my way up and take risk. For instance I need to present myself to the other top people in a very professional manager way. Basically show manangement materials.

IDEA

Shakesphere

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.

Just alittle Something

The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water, but to walk on the earth.

When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life.

Second Life

I am living my second life now. I came here in another life as a martian from venus. I lived back in the traissic times... I ran with the wooly mammoths. Now I am back as a mom and hopefully soon to be an architect once I complete my course.
 Thank-You

Postsecondary

These are the major trends: the rise of the global knowledge economy; the slow and painful demise of the American blue-collar economy in which workers,mostly white males, earned good wages with a high school education or less; welfare reform and the emergence of "work first" as the guiding principle in social policy; and a society where men, women, and youth are fully mobilized at work.
       The notion that some kind of postsecondary education and training has become the threshold requirement for middle-class earnings and status has not been lost on the American public. More than two- thirds of Americans go on to postsecondary education or training after high school, although only 34 percent of students in eighth grade will later go on to get a degree from a two-year or four-year school. Access to college has become the essential goal for k-12 education. Middle-class employability is now the penultimate standard for k -16 educational adequacy (authors' calculations using data from National Center for Education Statistics, 1988, and CPS Utilities,2007).

Opportunity

I am drawing a blank on my life opportunity

The effects of technology are greater in urban communities. The Urban Technology Explorer (UTE) is designed for a general population whose social, economical, spiritual, physical, educational, mental and financial sustainability require that they become aware of the effects of new technologies on urban communities. It is the group's goal to have everyone better understand both communities and technologies so that they can improve the former by intelligently utilizing the latter.
