Enjoy The Beautiful Blue Ocean Off The Big Island's Kona Coast

The Kona coast on the Big Island of Hawaii is the perfect place from which to benefit from the gorgeous clear blue waters, which are well-known for snorkelling, diving, seeing dolphins and green sea turtles. Boat tours can take more daring explorers to swim in the midst of manta rays and it is also a great place to go deep-sea fishing for the famed giant Pacific Blue Marlin.

The sunny Kona coast is a picturesque 45-minute drive from Kailua-Kona to Kealakekua Bay, a significant historic location marking the death of Captain Cook who was the first British explorer to establish contact with the Hawaiian Islands in 1778. He was killed in a conflict with native Hawaiians 1 year later. The Bay is also home to schools of stunning tropical fish and is a superb place to swim in the crystal clear waters of the ocean.

There are several tourist resorts along the Kona coast, offering hotels, small boarding houses, campsites and even condos to obtain if you wish to move into the area and visit it from time to time as many people sometimes do having once seen its natural beauty and the amount of things to do there. The Kona coast is less busy than many parts of Hawaii and offers a different aspect, with old-world little historic towns and isolated beaches. However, the area along the Kona coast is well appointed for visitors, offering a wide assortment of eateries and shopping opportunities. In fact, it is not well known, but more people make return visits to the Kona coast than they do to any other Hawaiian destination.

The place exudes aloha spirit, and the friendly people will welcome you with the floral leis that the Hawaiian welcomes are so well-known for. Children can be seen practicing the customary hula at the Hulihe'e Palace and visitors can join in or just sample the local cooking from the many restaurants in the area.

The Kona Coast was also once home to Hawaiian royalty - King Kamehameha spent his final years here in Kailua-Kona and there are important historical places including Hulihee Palace and Jaloko-Honokohau National Historic Park, which are of great interest to look around to learn about Hawaii's past.

With 268 miles of coastline the Big Island is, as it's name does imply, the biggest of the Hawaiian islands and offers some of Hawaii's richest natural experiences including Hawaii's biggest lake, Akaka Falls at 135 meters, the further most southerly tip of the USA, Ka Lae's South Point, and the highest mountain in the world from the sea bed, Mauna Kea. The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, a UNESCO site, is home to the amazing Kilauea Volcano, which has been erupting for the past 25 years and is one of a small number of places in the world where a lively volcano can be experienced.

For a beach with distinction, along the Kona coast there is Papakoa, the green beach at South Point, which was made from Olivine crystals. Hilo, the island's capital city, gives a glance into the Hawaii-past and guests can make the most of the wonderful entertainment and restaurants that are available here.

Babes & Babies: How They Influence and Impact Black Men

In the movie I Think I Love My Wife, comedian and actor Chris Rock plays a sexually deprived husband and loving father who develops a crush on an old college friend that he bumps into (played by Kerry Washington). They start hanging out and his rekindled friendship with her awakens some romantic desires which create a disruption in both his marriage and his job.

When he becomes dizzy with lust and starts to lose his grip on his responsibilities at the prestigious investment firm for which he works, his boss has a heart-to-heart with him and delivers some profound advice: "You can lose a lot of money chasing women...but you can't lose women chasing money."

If only young black men would take heed to this advice as they are growing up. Such focus would prevent the underdevelopment of potential and values which cause them to go astray and seek validation in other ways.

Culturally, black boys (especially those who have modest or above average looks) hear how many girlfriends they are expected to have, how many hearts they are going to break, or what a "lady killer" they are going to be before they learn to tie their own shoes.

With the seeds of distraction planted so early in their fertile minds, and predictions of being a future "heartbreaker," black boys formulate subconscious achievement motives that entail the validation, edification, and prioritization of babes.

The validation confirms that they do indeed appeal to the opposite sex. The edification is what allows them to elevate themselves above the male competitors in their age group; further allowing the boosting of the ego and feelings of self-worth. The prioritization is the rank of importance that they place upon the expenditure of time used in the pursuit and conquest of women.

Combined, they form the roots for many of the problems that plague black families. I call it the babes and babies syndrome: black men who are driven by the pursuit of babes and shun the responsibility of taking care of their babies in the process.

For many of these young boys who become young men who suffer from this syndrome, it's hard to change their mentality. After all, if you are constantly asked how many girlfriends you have as you are growing up, it creates an unconscious expectation. Coupled with the fact that many of your peers are engaging in, and thereby endorsing the same behavior, our black teenage boys are more likely to get their player's cards before receiving their library cards.

Despite the fact that friends and family members tell them to "settle" down when they get older (now full-grown men), it takes time (and usually some drama) before they develop a sense of consciousness about their lecherous ways. It's not that they can't help it, they often simply don't know how - especially after spending most of their lives as virile men whose self-worth and self-esteem is tied to the validation they receive from the sexual conquest of women.

Breaking habits and changing the way we think is a tremendous challenge for all of us, but for the players of the world, it's exceptionally difficult. It doesn't happen simply because they feel "it's time," or because they feel like they're "getting older," it happens when the conquest of babes no longer holds the allure, power, validation, or meaning that it once did. Then, and only then, can there be a true shift in values.

Some do make the successful transition from boys to men. They are the ones who either never bought into the "player's mentality" because they were guided or focused from an early age by parents, had off-setting values, or they played the field and their conscious made them change their ways; thus avoiding the babes and babies syndrome.

Those who cling to the predatory mentality of using women to build, feed, or sustain their egos well into their adulthood comprise the bulk of the perpetrators who contribute to the demise of the socioeconomic plight of today's black families.

It's a very serious problem.

How serious? SAVE AMERICA Ministries published A Portrait of the Black Family 2007: Descent into Destruction! in which the following statistics were documented:

-70% of all black children are born out of wedlock.
-62% of black families with children are headed by a single parent.
-85% of black children do not live in a home with their fathers.
-Only 15-20% of black children born today will grow up with 2 parents until age 16.
-70% of African-American boys in the criminal justice system come from single-parent homes. -50% of all new AIDS cases are in the Black community which comprises only 12% of the population.
-85% of all AIDS cases in Atlanta are black women.
-African-Americans are 20 times more likely than whites to have gonorrhea.
-AIDS is now the #1 killer of black women, age 25-44.
-67% of black women with AIDS contracted HIV thru heterosexual sex.
-Black men in America engage in polygamous relationships, 3 1/2 times that of White or Hispanics.
-Nearly 2 million black males are either currently in a state or federal prison or have been in one.
-By age 30, only 52% of black women will marry compared to 81% of white women, 77% of Hispanics and Asians.

James Flynn, whose claim to fame is his much discussed "Flynn Effect" in which he documents the increase in black IQs by about 15 percent, published the following information which relates to the demise of black marriages in New Scientist.

Government statistics show that at birth there are 104 black boys for every 100 girls. Between ages 25 and 45, six more men than women are dead, leaving 98 men for every 100 women. Of these 98 men, nine are in jail, eight are missing and 21 are employed less than half-time.

That leaves 60 "promising" black men - men who are alive, employed and not convicted felons. Also consider that promising black men living with a non-black partner outnumber white men with a black partner by three. That leaves only 57 black men for every 100 women in a position to be a permanent partner. Out of 100 black women, 43 face the choice of either having a child by a black man who is unlikely to settle down with them or going childless - assuming they (a) want to get married, and (b) want to have children.

That's compelling information. Is it accurate? The wreckage that can be seen in fragmented black families which are headed by single mothers says that it is. Also, just witnessing the number of wayward black men who continue to celebrate their masculinity through procreation instead of through the active and full parent participation in the lives of their children, is further proof.

When black men can find significance and meaning in their lives internally they are less reliant on external circumstances for an ego boost, or to fill a void. They can find pride, peace, and salvation in the sanctity of marriage, and the joy of fatherhood if they choose to attach value to it.

Which brings me back to the movie I Think I Love My Wife.

Once Chris Rock's character reveals his lust to his long lost friend, they agree to have a "good-bye fling". He arrives at her place and continues to ponder his decision to go through with it. She opens the door wearing very revealing lingerie and effectively confirms his decision to go through with it. He catches a glimpse of himself in the mirror with his tie on his head and is reminded of his young daughter (who he is in a previous scene with playing affectionately). It's a moment of reckoning for him. He reassembles himself and leaves without becoming another victim of the babes and babies syndrome.

Pink Turquoise

do yall think hot pink and turquoise with a bit of bling is tack y for a march wedding??

im torn between hot pink/turquoise with rhinotones, or champagne...i like champagne is pretty but might come off as bland, and turquoise/pink might be too much...

The question is do YOU like the pink and turquoise? If you do, then it's YOUR wedding, and what colors you choose is in no way harming any other individual. If you like it, that's all that matters. I think it will be very bright and colorful, and fun! And since that's probably your personality, it will work.

HOWEVER...a word of caution about bright colors like that--just make sure they'll work with your ceremony and reception venues. You don't want to have a reception venue that's decorated in burgandy and hunter green with those colors, you know? You can cover up the colors in the room, but that's an added expense. If you can handle the expense, then go for it.

Get color swatches--actual fabric pieces of the colors you're considering, and carry them with you while you vendor shop, especially for locations. Good luck!

Tips For Choosing Pink Wedding Dresses

Increasingly, brides are turning to colored wedding dresses on their special day. After all, it is not just Queen Victoria's prerogative to go against the wedding tradition of her day when she walked down the aisle in a white gown, at a time when brides wore color on their special day!

Fortunately for pink-loving brides-to-be, the various shades of pink are the new white in the wedding industry. It helps to have these practical tips when choosing from among many pink wedding dresses just so you can be stylish on your wedding day.

Expand your Pink Horizons

Often, we think of pink as Barbie's color. And when images of Barbie and Teresa in fuchsia pink wedding dresses being married to their equally plastic boyfriends come to mind, you might just cringe at the thought. After all, pink is more commonly associated with cute flower girls and clueless bridesmaids, not the brides themselves!

However, you must realize that pink, like all other combination colors, have many shades and hues to it. You can choose from among them depending on your personal preferences, of course.

Attractive shades of pink include shocking, pink, dark pink and bright pink, all of which can make your dress stand out most becomingly. You can also choose middle shades like carnation pink and cherry blossom pink when you want to tone it down a little. For the lightest shade of pink, go for baby pink and pale pink.

Keep in mind, however, that these are just some of the pink shades to choose from. Other exotic hues include rose pink, shell pink, pearl pink, champagne pink, iridescent pink, blush pink, fuchsia pink and even mauve and magenta.

Always remember to ask for samples of the cloth as you want to be sure that's exactly the pink you are looking for in your final list of pink wedding dresses. And don't let the opinions of others saying that the palest of pinks are the most bride-like of them all. Just so long as you don't appear snotty or trashy, you should be fine.

Complement Your Pink

When you have chosen the right pink wedding dresses (yes, this is assuming you will fall in love with pink that you will have two dresses in the ultra-feminine color), it's time to move on to color complementation. You want your pink dress to be echoed in the wedding entourage's attire and in the wedding motif.

Fortunately, you can match pink quite easily with other colors. After all, it is a combination of white with other colors (think red, rose, magenta and orange) that should make color coordinating an easy task. With that being said, you can complement pink with colors like ivory, champagne, silver, white and black, lavender, chocolate, turquoise, sage green, and even some yellow shades.

Truly, when you walk down the aisle towards your loved one and waltz with him in your pink wedding dresses, you are fulfilling the dreams of countless little girls playing with their Barbie dolls. Come to think of it, you were once a little girl, too, and you are just fulfilling your dreams!
