Time to love again
When times get rough, and you wanna hang tough
Hold on to love and it will be enough
Enough to see you through another day
Enough to keep you alive until your're old and gray.
Love is the answer for those who pray
Everlasting love is always here to stay.

Injustice to the Poor.
It is no secret that everyone would like to have affordable housing with good paying jobs in order to secure a better future for themselves, their families and their future generations alike. Be that as it may, the reality is that many households are not privileged enough to live the American dream, and most are stuck with unemployment, and a recession that refuses to provide jobs for everyone to live the good life of comfort.
Each community needs to have people with sound business practices in order to prosper economically and to survive the turmoils, or hardsips of poverty. Therefore, when the chips are down and the recovery of the recession is slow, evicting people by forcing them to become homeless is something that should be reconsidered. This practice only produces a backlash on an already strained economy that refuses to acknowledge that human need and not corporate greed is the answer to our financial woes.
Capitalizing on the misfortune of other companies is something that many in the business world are allowed to do. However, when it comes to illegally benefiting from the misery of the poor in order to finance the corporate greed of large corporations, the hands of justice will vote in favour of righteousness simply because democracy rules and only time will tell..

Rastafari Speaks
Human Rights
Colonialism and the policy of racism impose soul searching questions of human rights, weighing equally on the conscience of all men and nations of good-will. History amply shows that the freedom enjoyed by the many becomes fragile when the denial, even to the few, of basic human rights is tolerated.
We believe in the peaceful settlement of all disputes without resorting to force.
All well ordered and modern states can only base themselves upon Courts of Justice and Conduct of Laws which are just, correct and geared towards the protection of the rights of individuals. Justice is a product of education.

Having a Conversation
What do you do when the world is on your shoulders?
What do you say when it seems like no one cares?
Where do you go to find the one that you love?
Do you stop and think about the father up above?
Life is sweet it is a real treat
We must learn never to accept defeat
Throughout all our trials and pains
We still must find a shelter from the rain
Despite reaping low economical grains
At the end of the day after all is said and done
I just put my load down and I begin to have fun
I turn on the music because no one can refuse it
And I sing and I dance to the musical beat
That inspires me to dance with my weary feet.

Soul to Soul
Not only is this book very interesting to read it is also a true life story that gives inspiration, hope and courage to the many blacks that are faced with having to live with the many ignorant stereotypes about who they are and where they belong.
This book is recommended as a must read by all without regards to their race, colour, class or religion. It is an enlightenment which gives testimony to the fact that my black brothers and sisters in Europe are still struggling with popular worldwide beliefs that all blacks do speak the same language. Sadly enough, many whom are considered to be outsiders are scorned and rejected, by other blacks whenever they try to learn more about their own black culture.
Collectively speaking, on a community level these attitudes, or behaviours towards one another must first be addressed, or looked at more seriously in order for everyone to accommodate the positive changes desperately needed for us all to move forward in a more respectful manner. http://www.amazon.com/

The Innocent Man
http://www.amazon.com/
Innocent until proven guilty is the way most cases should read, but after reading this book it would help those of us that are often too quick to judge someone without knowing all of the facts first to realize that when it comes to law and order the proper procedures must be followed, and the procedures state that a man is innocent until he is proven guilty in a court of law.
On the contrary, sometimes even an innocent man is sent to death row for committing a crime that he did not commit.
Impeccably researched, grippingly told, filled with eleventh-hour drama, John Grisham’s first work of nonfiction reads like a page-turning legal thriller. It is a book that will terrify anyone who believes in the presumption of innocence—a book no American can afford to miss.
The innocent man is a true story based on a murder mystery and injustice in a small town. It tells the story about how Ron Williamson was arrested and charged with a crime that he did not commit. It also tells about how this innocent man was sent to death row because of how his case was mishandled.
Corruption has no place in the justice system, yet it somehow manages to scar many victims when false witnesses tell lies rather than coming clean to just tell the Truth. This kind of testimony is rather frustrating, time consuming and very costly for the legal teams who have to always prepare to do battle in the best interest of their clientele.
On behalf of the clients, victims, or the perpetrators of a crime I ask that the readers of this book keep in mind that justice had been served at all cost..."The cost of an Innocent Man" http://www.amazon.com/

Potluck Supper
What is a potluck?
A potluck is a gathering of people where each person or group of people contributes a dish of food prepared by the person or the group of people, to be shared among the group. Having a potluck is a great way to build a community. It is an excellent way for the members to participate and share their favourite foods with each other.
Organizing Your Potluck Party
The Host
- When you're the host, remember to dig out extra serving platters, baskets, and utensils before your guests arrive. Not everyone brings food ready to be served. You don't want to be distracted from your guests because you're pulling things out of your attic or cabinets.
- Don't forget that someone needs to be responsible for beverages. The host can supply them, or ask everyone to bring something they would like to drink with their dish.
- As host you can choose what your contribution will be. If enough people are coming, providing the location for the party and the dinnerware can be enough. Sometimes the host will stock the bar with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks including juices, water and soft drinks.
- Often the host will provide the main course such as mash potatoes, a turkey, hamburgers on the grill, or an egg casserole (depending on the time of the party) and ask guests to bring side dishes and desserts. It's really up to you based on the size of your guest list.
Food Suggestions
Whether you're hosting the potluck or are simply invited to attend one, here are suggestions for the kind of dishes that work best.- All dishes should be prepared in advance.
- Nobody should do more in the kitchen than pop something in the oven for reheating. The dishes should be easy to transport. I don't recommend a soufflé unless it's prepared by the host.
- If there are many people attending the party, the serving size of each dish does not need to equal the number of guests. Everybody will take only a small portion of each dish when there are many from which to choose.
- Traditional potluck dishes include casseroles, chili, bar cookies, salads and breads.
- Recipes don't need to be fancy. Dishes that have been handed down through the generations are often the most popular.
- If you're looking for a new recipe to try at your next potluck, here are several excellent collections to start you on your way to potluck fame.
Casserole Recipes - Home Cooking Guide Peggy Trowbridge offers her own slant on casserole dishes.
Main Dish Salad Recipes - Diana Rattray, About Guide to Southern U.S. Cuisine offers up an assortment of hearty meat based salads.
Pasta Salad Recipes - A variety of pasta salad recipes from Diana Rattray, About Guide to Southern U.S. Cuisine.
Vegetarian Salad Recipes - Here's an assortment of recipes from Jolinda Hackett, About Guide to Vegetarian Cuisine.
Bar Cookies - You can take your pick from chocolate, fruity, nutty and other varieties of bar cookies for a perfect potluck dessert

Air Canada Express Service
Air Canada Jazz
About Jazz
Jazz is Canada’s airline
We operate more flights and fly to more Canadian destinations than any other carrier. We are the only airline serving 10 provinces and 2 territories. As an integral part of Air Canada’s strategy and North American market presence, Jazz provides service to and from many smaller communities in Canada and the United States under the brand name Air Canada Express. As well, we operate to larger centres at off-peak times as a complement to Air Canada’s schedule.
Jazz is not a typical airline. We have a commercial agreement with Air Canada that is the core of our business. Under the Capacity Purchase Agreement (CPA), Air Canada purchases substantially all of Jazz’s seat capacity based on predetermined rates. In reality, we are a contract carrier for Air Canada and operate our flights on their behalf. The CPA provides commercial flexibility and connecting network traffic to Air Canada, while significantly reducing Jazz’s financial and business risks.
In 2010, Jazz signed a five-year agreement with Thomas Cook Canada Inc. to operate B757-200s from Canadian gateways to various sun destinations for the winter season (November to April) under the brand name Thomas Cook Canada.

The Partnership: Thomas Cook – Sunquest – Jazz

The result is the newly branded airline Thomas Cook Canada.
The 2011-12 flying program operates out of three Canadian gateways – Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver – with flights to various points in the United States, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, the Bahamas, Jamaica, Aruba, Curaçao and Costa Rica. Please note that all Thomas Cook Canada flights depart Pearson International Airport in Toronto from Terminal 3.

Joke of the Day
Spaghetti
A wealthy man was having an affair with an Italian woman for a few years.
One night, during one of their rendezvous, she confided in him that she was pregnant.
Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he paid her a large sum of money if she would go to Italy to have the child. If she stayed in Italy,
he would also provide child support until the child turned 18.
She agreed, but wondered how he would know when the baby was born. To keep it discrete, he told her to mail him a post card, and write "Spaghetti" on the back. He would then arrange for child support.
One day, about 9 months later, he came home to his confused wife.
"Honey," she said, "you received a very strange post card today."
"Oh, just give it to me and I'll explain it later," he said.
The wife obeyed, and watched as her husband read the card, turned white, and fainted.
On the card was written "Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti. Two with meatballs, one without."
Second Opinion
A doctor and his wife are having a fight at the breakfast table. Husband gets up in a rage and says, "And you are no good in bed either," and storms out of the house. After sometime he realizes he was nasty and decides to make amends and calls home.
She comes to the phone after many rings and the irritated husband says, "What took you so long to answer the phone?"
She says, "I was in bed."
"In bed this early, doing what?" Shouts the doctor.
"Getting a second opinion!"
I Want to Kill My Husband
A lady walks into the drug store and asks the druggist for some arsenic.
The druggist asks "Ma'am, what do you want with arsenic?".
The lady replies "I want to kill my husband."
"I can't sell you any for that reason" says the druggist.
The lady then reaches into her purse and pulls out a photo of a man and a women in a compromising position - the man is her husband and the lady is the druggist's wife - and shows it to the druggist.
He looks at the photo and says... "Oh I didn't know you had a prescription!"

Tropical Rainforest
The tropical rainforest is a hot, moist biome found near Earth's equator. The world's largest tropical rainforests are in South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Tropical rainforests receive from 60 to 160 inches of precipitation that is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year. The combination of constant warmth and abundant moisture makes the tropical rainforest a suitable environment for many plants and animals.
Ideal Environment
The hot and humid conditions make tropical rainforests an ideal environment for bacteria and other microorganisms. Because these organisms remain active throughout the year, they quickly decompose matter on the forest floor.

HOW CAN WE SAVE RAINFORESTS?
Rainforests are disappearing very quickly. The good news is there are a lot of people who want to save rainforests. The bad news is that saving rainforests is not going to be easy. It will take the efforts of many people working together in order to ensure that rainforests and their wildlife will survive for your children to appreciate, enjoy, and benefit from.
- Teach others about the importance of the environment and how they can help save rainforests.
- Restore damaged ecosystems by planting trees on land where forests have been cut down.
- Encourage people to live in a way that doesn't hurt the environment
- Support companies that operate in ways that minimize damage to the environment
