Me and a few friends went to 'Baked Expectations' last night. It's a cute little dessert diner that has spectacular treats! It was my first time and I loved it! I can't wait to go again :)
My friend Jaime and I split the caramel pecan cheese cake. Mmmm. It was heavenly.
Alice Mary Baldwin Professor of History
Duke University, Durham, North Carolina
William Chafe spoke at U.S. Embassy Wellington on September 23, 2010, on the expectations associated with the Obama presidency and the challenges he faces in trying to realize those expectations. He spoke of the dramatic changes in human rights in America that have occurred in the past 50 years, but also the degree to which we (and the President) have generated expectations that are hard to achieve.
William Chafe was awarded the Organization of American Historians‟ (OAH) Roy Rosenzweig Distinguished Service Award, given annually to an individual whose contributions have significantly enriched an understanding and appreciation of American history, in April 2010.
"To list his distinguished publications is to follow a path that leads through the changing contours of 20th century American history. He has been a path-breaking scholar, one of the few who can write both brilliant monographs and critical and influential syntheses," according to a statement from the organization. "His „The American Woman: Her Changing Social, Economic, and Political Roles, 1920-1970‟ and his „Civilities and Civil Rights: Greensboro, North Carolina, and the Black Struggle for Freedom,‟ marked both his debut as a scholar of incredible range and established one of the great and timely themes of his scholarship: race and gender equality." The organization also noted Chafe‟s writings and their use in college classrooms, including "The Unfinished Journey: America Since World War Two" and most recently, "The Rise and Fall of the American Century: The United States from 1890-2009." A leader in the profession, Chafe has also helped develop OAH‟s Leadership Advisory Council, of which he is currently the co-chair. "I can't say how much this award means to me," Chafe said. "I care deeply about the community of American historians, and how important it is for us to represent the diversity of our past and seek full inclusion of all Americans in the narrative of our country's quest to realize its ideals."

The Midland Inn looks quite a substantial affair for such a backwater as Midland Road, St Philips. Like the nearby Palace Hotel at the top of Old Market Street, it must have been built on high hopes of trade from the Midland Railway's St Philips terminus across the road. In the event the Midland went on to use Temple Meads Station and St Philips was literally sidetracked. The station lingered on, little patronised, until closure in 1953. The pub itself somehow had a look of Birmingham or Derby and always looked incongruous to me. Is it still there? I think I heard or read that it had been knocked down. The side turning was Willway Street. The motor car is what Bristolians call (at least when the name is followed by a vowel) a "Vauxhall Veevle". The photograph was taken on Sunday 29th November 1981.
it is said that on the feet sole our complete life is written in lines. Sorrow and happiness are the guidelines of those life lines.
Photograph taken at an altitude of Four metres, during the first vestiges of ambient light prior to the magic of the Golden Hour around sunrise (which was at precisely 04:51am), at 03:30am on Monday 7th July 2014, off Botany Road and the Viking Coastal Trail on the shoreline of Botany Bay, the Northern most of seven bays in Broadstairs, Kent, England.
The seven bays are (from south to north) Dumpton Gap, Louisa Bay, Viking Bay, Stone Bay, Joss Bay, Kingsgate Bay and Botany Bay.

UP 5752 east was not what I had hoped for on this cold and windy morning. The road out and down to Basin is long and remote. one never knows if it will pay off. Lesson learned, short trains don't fill curves. With only 38 loads in tow 5752 finishes the eastward trek through Afton Canyon.

we're both
metaphors
for wild bulls
and rings through
broken noses
all the hope
of pounding hooves
the heart's opposing forces
the slow arrival left behind
turned your reverence to rapture
the moment that you took the best
and left what didn't matter
you said again
but changed the words
in a tune gone to the birds
a girl that you can't ply with passion
woke up with the nameless beasts
and sung into creation
we're both
metaphors
for matadors
subversive expectations
a tongue that tried
to leave the truth where it lies
(word to the dying wise)
making claims of being born again
an overdue guest
at the checkout desk
no less dead
than the rest
