weekend post_Mothers day coming
Every day is mothers day. The modern Mother's Day is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in May, though also celebrated in March in some countries, as a day to honor mothers and motherhood.In the UK and Ireland it follows the old traditions of Mothering Sunday, celebrated in March/April. Everyday is mothers day in my book. Mothers day is all around the world celebrated in different times and days. in my opinion when women started becoming dominant is when women started to be honored as mothers and had to do work. i honor my mother she is my everything and here is a video just for her.

Weekend Post_ Blue Bird Poem
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I'm not going
to let anybody see
you.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pur whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he's
in there.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep, do
you?

The Great Depression
The great depression was a time period from 1920 to 1941. The causes For the Depression is massive bank failures and the stock market. Another Factor was the unemployment rate increased and people were having less money to spend or share. Many People have thought of Hurting themselves because they didn't have any money and back then they needed money to survive back then. The Great Depression was World wide and Effected Bigger Countries like Europe Caribbean islands and As well As The U.S. The failure of so many banks, combined with a general and nationwide loss of confidence in the economy, led to much-reduced levels of spending and demand and hence of production, thus aggravating the downward spiral.

Weekend Post_Jamaican Pasa Pasa
In Jamaica there is a little dirty dancing festival called Pasa Pasa.It is dawn in Kingston, Jamaica, and the fusion of hip-hop and reggae rhythms has transformed one of this city's grittiest slums into a cross between Girls Gone Wild and Cirque du Soleil.The sexually charged displays have come to characterize Passa Passa, a new party craze that has spread outside Jamaica and even to Miami while sparking an uproar in some parts of the Caribbean, including calls for its ban.But in its birthplace in west Kingston, this controversial phenomenon is bringing peace to a community once known for its violence and armed gangs, and transforming it into the most unlikely of tourist destinations.The party straddles two of the area's most notorious slums, Denham Town and Tivoli Gardens. A tenement of shanties and rundown, four-story walk-ups, Tivoli is ground zero in Jamaica's "garrison politics"; the neighborhood gangs enlisted by political parties in the 1970s to enforce loyalty and deliver the votes at election time. Some of the Music that was listened to in Jamaica is Bob Marley And Shaggy and other artists.

Sarah Boone An inventor of Ironing Board
A black inventor in the 19th century was not something that was very common, especially if it was a black inventor that was a woman. When a black woman can overcome ignorant people and racial prejudice, then you know this is women to be remembered. Sarah Boone was the first women to invent the ironing board in April 26, 1892.Before Sarah's inventions, people simply used a table or were creative by lying a plank of wood across two chairs or small tables. Sarah Boone's ironing board was designed to be effective in ironing the sleeves and bodies of ladies' garments.Very little is known about her life and her childhood. Sarah Boone was born on May 18 1867 in Summit, Pike County, Mississippi, and died on the 14th of September in 1919. Sarah Boone invented this ironing board because she wanted to have an easier way to iron clothing without having so much fuss. in todays society the ironing board looks different. However, it was inspired by sarah boone invention and we use it all the time in the house and mostly everyone has it in a home thanks to Sarah Boone. In my opinion Sarah Boorne was a brave women because in her time women were supose to be powerless and in that didnt stop her from being a person to invent at least ironing board.

Weekend Post_Frankland Prison
In Frankland Prison A prisoner stabbed and slashed three wardens when he went on the rampage with a shard of glass at a high security jail. Three prison officers were injured, one seriously, after the inmate who is serving a life-sentence went berserk with the makeshift weapon, at Frankland Jail, in Durham. it was luck that the poor man wasn't injured badly to the point of kill. it was a very severe attack but it wasn't a homicide and that was the good part on gods hands.This incident shows the level of violence our officers face on a daily basis. in my opinion this is a miracle and the prisoner being held for life in prison wouldn't be able to come out after this incident.

Haiti compared to chile was the worse earthquake disaster due to haiti being very poor and having unstable homes.

Weekend Post- Tiger Woods
I don't know about anyone else, but I was quite surprised by the apology, since I don't recall having ever married Tiger. For a brief moment, I was downright ecstatic, thinking of all the ways I might spend a chunk of that reported $30 million per month my -- husband? -- brings in.
