Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

Tyler James Stevens Sentenced To 6 And A Half Years For Highway 2 Crash Killed Four Foreign Workers From Philippines
just 6.5yrs for killing 4 people
Tears flowed freely in an Alberta courtroom Friday as a man who killed four foreign workers while driving the wrong way on a divided highway was sentenced to 6 1/2 years in prison.
Tyler Stevens wept, apologized and offered to help the victims' families in any way he can — including paying tuition for their children.
"I am so sorry for the pain I have caused all of them," said Stevens, who added that although he is not a religious man, he has been to the site of the crash and has prayed for the victims.
"All that I ask is that the families would give me the chance to be there for them."
The 30-year old part-owner of an international oilfield service company earlier pleaded guilty to four counts of criminal negligence causing death and one count of criminal negligence causing bodily harm. After his release from prison, he will also be prohibited from driving for six years.
Stevens, who tested at more than three times the legal limit, admitted to drinking 11 ounces of hard liquor while on prescription drugs last March.
