Always go on
Always say want to say come away to a trip, if you ask me why, I don't know. Want to forget something? After some dreams? Probably all have, just everyone may look forward to the distance.
In July of the south is rainy, I a person went to wuzhen, I do not know which come of courage, so the backpack to the jiangnan water. Very clever, it was raining, this situation is also more in keeping with the I have been think of here, but I did not meet the lilac girl that carries an umbrella in the rain lane. Did I oiled paper umbrella walked over and over again in the alley, tread the stone street, Dream beauty pro hard sell covered with moss is also be fully satisfy his own imagination.
For had been living in the north, it is very good, the days of the reward me a water tender. Keep thinking I'm a strong woman, even if a person also can such happy to start a journey, but I know in my mind, I want to go further to forget the time to meet that person. I also wrote two letters postcard in a coffee shop, a to the past, a for yourself. Truly satisfy himself has long been the desire of the literary youth. Always feel that I need to get yourself this journey record something. In the few remaining youth I don't know will also won't have this kind of strange of brave and crazy. At least this time I'm proud of myself.
Good time when bad, always make me feel confused, for a traveler, when the noise is more lonely, really, wuzhen at night were filled with red and green bars and clubs, Dream beauty pro is full of loud singing, blonde foreign girl swing body appearance on the stage, whether she will feel lonely, she will also like me, for what they insist on always persistent, like I have been looking for a heartbeat time, so would the down and out, these lonely but a little different, I silently picked some, quietly in my left in the youth. Loneliness can let's imagine.
What I find? Why do I travel? Why do I pursue the distance? Is looking for their distant dream, or after the time of holding would not. Life sometimes very preferential treatment on me, when I am lonely turned, I met you... If some people originally should be a passer-by in the life, but won't go away. I am young, I frankly, I think for a moth, I only do what I like, just doing what I love, what others think I don't care, but that the injured is yourself. Once I also asked myself to retreat? To disguise? But I still choose such direct self. Yes, we lost a lot of this bustling world, I can't lost their personality. Hurt, afraid of? Be afraid of. But I can still go on with the injury. Hurry, time has lost time, Dream beauty pro can't lose myself. At least to meet, I passed the time, met the most brave and true.
Fragments of a little lonely, maybe time is a wound. Walked all the way, I once on the road, the future road, I don't know. If the clock back, I still now of I? Suddenly no longer feel lose is loathe to give up. Their value, so always believe firmly listen to your voice, is my only belief, I have been trying to move on.

Children harm review
A Colorado man loses custody of his children after getting a medical marijuana card. The daughter of a Michigan couple growing legal medicinal pot is taken by child-protection authorities after an ex-husband says their plants endangered kids.
And police officers in New Jersey visit a home after a 9-year-old mentions his mother's hemp advocacy at school Amethyst earrings.
While the cases were eventually decided in favor of the parents, the incidents underscore a growing dilemma: While a pot plant in the basement may not bring criminal charges in many states, the same plant can become a piece of evidence in child custody or abuse cases.
"The legal standard is always the best interest of the children, and you can imagine how subjective that can get," said Jess Cochrane, who helped found Boston-based Family Law & Cannabis Alliance after finding child-abuse laws have been slow to catch up with pot policy.
No data exist to show how often pot use comes up in custody disputes, or how often child-welfare workers intervene in homes where marijuana is used.
But in dozens of interviews with lawyers and officials who work in this area , along with activists who counsel parents on marijuana and child endangerment, the consensus is clear: Pot's growing acceptance is complicating the task of determining when kids are in danger.
A failed proposal in the Colorado Legislature this year showed the dilemma.
Colorado considers adult marijuana use legal, but pot is still treated like heroin and other Schedule I substances as they are under federal law. As a result, when it comes to defining a drug-endangered child, pot can't legally be in a home where children reside.
Two Democratic lawmakers tried to update the law by saying that marijuana must also be shown to be a harm or risk to children to constitute abuse.
But the effort led to angry opposition from both sides — pot-using parents who feared the law could still be used to take their children, and marijuana-legalization opponents who argued that pot remains illegal under federal law and that its very presence in a home threatens kids.
After hours of emotional testimony, lawmakers abandoned the effort as too complicated. Among the teary-eyed moms at the hearing was Moriah Barnhart, who moved to the Denver area from Tampa, Florida, nu skin hk in search of a cannabis-based treatment for a daughter with brain cancer.
"We moved here across the country so we wouldn't be criminals. But all it takes is one neighbor not approving of what we're doing, one police officer who doesn't understand, and the law says I'm a child abuser," Barnhart said.
Supporters vow to try again to give law enforcement some definitions about when the presence of drugs could harm children, even if the kids don't use it.
"There are people who are very reckless with what they're doing, leaving marijuana brownies on the coffee table or doing hash oil extraction that might blow the place up. Too often with law enforcement, they're just looking at the legality of the behavior and not how it is affecting the children," said Jim Gerhardt of the Colorado Drug Investigators Association, which supported the bill.
Colorado courts are wading into the question of when adult pot use endangers kids. The state Court of Appeals in 2010 sided with a marijuana-using dad who lost visitation rights though he never used the drug around his daughter.
The court reversed a county court's decision that the father couldn't have unsupervised visitation until passing a drug test, saying that a parent's marijuana use when away from his or her children doesn't suggest any risk of child harm.
But child-endangerment standards remain murky in Colorado, with wide disparities in how local child-protection officers and law enforcement approach pot, said Rob Corry, a Denver lawyer who successfully argued the father's custody appeal nu skin.
Corry, who helped Colorado's 2012 campaign to legalize recreational marijuana, said the main thrust of the effort was to treat pot like alcohol.
"Think of brewing beer. You've got a constitutional right to do it. There's nothing wrong with it. Marijuana should be just as simple — you just keep it on a high shelf, right next to your vodka. But in practice, this is not how law enforcement treats marijuana," he said.
In the absence of legal guidelines, a growing network of blogs counsel parents in how to deal with police or child-protection agencies concerned about parental marijuana use, including one, Ladybud, run by legal-pot activist Diane Fornbacher.
She said she moved to Colorado this year after child-protection workers visited her family in New Jersey after a teacher alerted officials when her son mentioned hemp — pot's non-hallucinogenic cousin — at school.
"They said, 'We're just here to help.' Emotionally, my brain was like, 'My kids! My kids!' My mama bear instinct kicked in," she said.
The need for better standards about when marijuana endangers kids is growing by the day, said Maria Green, a Lansing, Michigan, mother who lost custody of her infant daughter for three months last year.
Green grows pot to treat her husband's epilepsy, and though Michigan's medical marijuana law states parents shall not be denied custody or visitation with a child for following the statute, a legal dispute with her ex-husband led to her daughter being placed with a grandparent until it was resolved.
The ex-husband who brought the complaint declined an interview until talking with his lawyer.
"I never in a million years thought that they were going to take my daughter," Green said. "I know that there's a place for child protection, but I would love to see it used to protect kids from being actually hurt."

Billy Cleary said he was behind the letter which has a total of nearly 16,000 likes and nearly 10,000 shares on Facebook and now he wants to escalate the protest in a bid to grab even more worldwide attention gift & premium.

“If I can get people motivated to get behind this we can do something about it,” he said, explaining his plans to write another letter that he hopes will motivate people to oppose the property tax.
