Jamaica is mountainous from one end of the island to the next, her two most well know mountains are the John Crow Mountains and the Blue Mountains well known for its daily climbs to its summit by visitors and nationals alike. These climbs are guided tours by organised and certified climbers or individuals who do this as a private business.

A return trip to the blue mountain peak from St Andrew could take as little as 8 hours for the avid climber usually starting at the early am with a quick turn around you could be back to Kingston by late afternoon. For visitors interested in exploring other vacation spots such as the blue mountain  in jamaica your trip to the blue mountain would be worth at it least a 2 day climb.

Emancipation Park or Usain Bolt Park


                                         Emancipation Park Kingston Jamaica

ONE OF the most enthusiastically sung lines from Bob Marley is his delivery of Marcus Garvey's command to, "emancipate yourselves from mental slavery none but ourselves can free our minds". While it is generally recognized, if not embraced, that Christopher Columbus did not discover anywhere and the African people did not begin their existence as slaves, emancipation from mental slavery goes beyond the general rewriting our story. In our daily lives, as a people, we celebrate and elevate the very things that enslaves us to positions of pride.

Hon Marcus Garvey,"emancipate yourself from mental slavery none but ourselves can free our minds".

Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Jr. was born in St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica to Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Sr., a mason, and Sarah Jane Richards, a domestic worker. Of eleven siblings, only Marcus, the youngest, and his sister Indiana survived until maturity. His family was financially stable given the circumstances of this time period. Therefore, Garvey's father could afford to maintain a large library, and it was from his father that Marcus Garvey  gained his love for reading. He also attended the elementary schools in St. Ann's Bay during his youth.  While attending these schools, Garvey first began to experience racism. When he was younger, he used to be friends and play with his white neighbors. However, when they reached their teenage years, they began to shun him. Sometime in 1900, Garvey entered into an apprenticeship with his uncle, Alfred Burrowes, who also had an extensive library, of which young Marcus made good use.

The OCCUPY Movement 99% is waiting!

No victory for Occupy yet!


We can succeed only by concert. It is not,"Can you imagine better?" but "Can we all do better?" Object whatsoever is possible, still the question recurs, "Can we do better?". The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. We must dis-enthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country. Every victory comes with sacrifice, What is your sacrifice

Occupy wall Street is about the future!


While the Mayor New York changed the Law to get himself elected for a third term the mayor filled with his own hypocrisy has become the Prime supporter of the 1% him being a member of the one percent himself. How much have things changed for Mayor














The Occupy Movement  is about Fairness, Not Grudge!



95 percent of all Americans work for someone in the last 30 years the salary's and benefits of the top 1% has seen their income rise by 275%- 305% .in easy to understand language any  who valued  million Dollars thirty years ago is now 300 Million Dollars notwithstanding all the negative effects on our Economy.

Walmart among the 99%


Most Walmart workers are only able to work in their store because they get benefit like medicaid and food stamps from the Government, essencially the Government is now paying health care and food walmart for Walmart workers. One member of the walmart family earm more than 62 million americans last year with their wealth stached in a Bank accounts in a foreign countries and taxpayers pay for their workers healthcare and food.

Factoring in what taxpayers contribute for public programs, the report estimated that one Wal-Mart supercenter employing 300 workers could cost taxpayers at least $904,000 annually.

At the end of 2012, there were 3,216 Wal-Mart employees who were enrolled in Wisconsin public health care programs, more than any other employer. Add in the dependents of Wal-Mart workers and the total jumps up to 9,207.

"Walmart a Job Creator or a corporate welfare recipient".

Trampoline

8 Pole Kids Trampoline Enclosure Set to Fit 10 Feet Trampoline Frames with set of 4 or 8 W-Shaped Legs (Trampoline Not Included) Click Here

The first modern Trampoline was built by George Nissen and Larry Griswold in 1936. Nissen was a gymnastics and diving competitor and Griswold was a tumbler on the gymnastics team, both at the University of Iowa, USA. They had observed trapeze artists using a tight net to add entertainment value to their performance and experimented by stretching a piece of canvas, in which they had inserted grommets along each side, to an angle iron frame by means of coiled springs. It was initially used to train tumblers but soon became popular in its own right. Nissen explained that the name came from the Spanish trampolín, meaning a diving board. George Nissen had heard the word on a demonstration tour in Mexico in the late 1930's and decided to use an anglicized form as the trademark for the apparatus.
In 1942, Griswold and Nissen created the Griswold-Nissen Trampoline & Tumbling Company, and began making trampolines commercially in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Trampoline as Sport
The competitive gymnastic sport of trampolining has been part of the Olympic Games since 2000. On a modern competitive trampoline, a skilled athlete can bounce to a height of up to 10 meters (33 ft), performing multiple somersaults and twists. Trampolines also feature in the competitive sport of Slamball, a variant of basketball, and Toss a ball, a variant of volleyball.

Safe use of the Trampoline

Family-oriented commercial areas in North America such as shopping centers, carnivals, and so on, often include closed inflatable trampolines (CITs) as a children's attraction. These have safety nets on the sides to prevent injuries.
Using a Trampoline can be dangerous, and in organized clubs and gyms there are usually large safety end-decks with foam pads at each end and spotters placed alongside the trampoline to try to break the fall of any athlete who loses control and falls. The majority of injuries occur on privately owned home trampolines. Bouncing off a trampoline can result in a fall of 3–4 meters (10–13 ft) from the peak of a bounce to the ground or a fall into the suspension springs and frame.

Judy Mowatt on Rastafarianism, Bob Marley ithree's

A Conversation

Reggae gospel singer Judy Mowatt talked to Mike Rimmer about her years with Bob Marley and the reggae superstar’s deathbed conversion to Christianity.
I am sitting in the Hard Rock Café in Birmingham watching the big screen which is showing a classic Bob Marley clip of “Jammin’” and watching the distinctive figures of three magnificently dressed ladies Marcia Griffith s, Judy Mowatt and Rita Marley swaying gently to the music as they sing backing vocals. I am transfixed because only days earlier I had interviewed Judy Mowatt and she was remembering this period of her life.

The trio had met working in the studio and their voices had immediately blended into something special. Marley himself had recruited them to be part of his backing band, The Wailers. Judy remembered, “The first song we did was ‘Jah Live’ and Bob wanted us to work with him on his ‘Natty Dread’ album. The iThrees were formed continued to work with Marley until his death.”

As you’d expect, Judy was totally engrossed in Rastafarianism, as she explained, “I was a Rasta for 22 years and I was genuine. I embraced the objectives of Rastafari, knowing that one of the aims and objectives were to repatriate to the land of our ancestors. And also to make music to let people be aware of who they are as a people and knowing that the western hemisphere is only a place for them to pass through, but we should return to our father’s land. That was my plan, but God had a different plan! After 22 years I became very unfulfilled, dissatisfied; not by any one thing or by any one person but I started to search inside because I realized that there was something else that I needed that I could not put my hand on. I knew that God was calling me into deeper waters. I was a little bit fearful because I was wondering what my brothers and sisters would say and what would be their reaction. So I was a bit fearful.”

At the same time as her search, the singer’s personal life was filled with difficulty too where two family members were in serious situations. She didn't go into detail but confessed, “I was at a place where I thought I wanted to die but I never had the strength to take my own life. I started praying and I said, ‘God, I really don’t know you because if I knew you, then all of this would not have been happening to me.’ Not knowing that God had used that situation to draw me to him. I started reading my Bible. I had read my Bible three times from cover to cover and I started reading, but the things I was seeing this fourth time were what I never saw in the three times I read my Bible.”


Rita Marley

She continued, “I was seeing it through another pair of lenses. I read, ‘Wherein, there is no other name given among men whereby we must be saved, but by the name of Jesus Christ.’ That flew out of the Bible and into my spirit and that really turned the key. Whenever you have a mindset and you seriously believe something, you’re not going to open to anything else, and I wasn't open to anything else. But God opened me to start seeking and searching.”

It was listening to an interview with Halie Selassie which really challenged Judy's thinking. She remembered, “The interviewer asked him, ‘Why is it that people say you are the returned Messiah?’ and he answered through an interpreter - ‘I’m a mere man. I will be replaced by the oncoming generation and a human being should not be emulated for a deity.’ Somebody gave me a book, an autobiography and selected speeches of ‘His Majesty’ and I see where ‘His Majesty’ is a Christian king! I recognize now that instead of worshipping him, I should be worshipping who he is worshipping! So I see ‘His Imperial Majesty’ as my teacher.”

On stage at last year’s Birmingham Gospel Festival, Mowatt was dressed splendidly in white looking younger than her 52 years. She shared some of her experiences, testified to the truth she’s discovered and sang songs from her excellent album ‘Something Old, Something New’. The crowd clearly loved it.

When she became a Christian in the mid-’9's amidst a wave of other successful reggae artists finding Christian faith like Papa San, Stitchie, Chevelle Franklin and Carlene Davis. After her performance, I ask her what she thinks Marley would have made of her conversion. It was here that she made my jaw drop!
Judy Mowatt

She shared, “When Bob was on his dying bed, his wife Rita called me on the phone and said to me that Bob was in such excruciating pain and he stretched out his hand and said, ‘Jesus take me.’ I was wondering to myself, ‘Why is it that Bob said “Jesus” and not “Selassie”?’ But I never said it to anyone. Then I met a friend of mine and he said his sister, who is a Christian, was a nurse at the hospital where Bob was before he passed on, and she led him to the Lord Jesus Christ. So when Rita saw him saying ‘Jesus take me’, he had already received the Lord Jesus Christ in his life.”

Judy said that sharing that, telling the truth about Marley’s conversion isn’t popular in Jamaica. “People need to know, because they would be drawn also to Jesus Christ. But nobody wants to promote that and in Jamaica, I said it on a popular television program and a Rasta man met me and asked me why did I have to say that? I said, ‘Because it’s the truth!’ But he never wanted me to reveal that and I think that anybody doesn’t want that to be revealed, because so many people would be drawn to the Gospel.”

Thinking back to the ’70s explosion of reggae and its association with Rastafarianism, is it possible that this latest wave of gospel reggae artists might be part of another movement? Could the power of the Spirit see another grassroots movement born and the music be part of leading many to the real truth of Jesus? Judy shared her thoughts, “I see another grassroots movement being born inside of the people of God. Because I think what God did inside the birth of reggae message was to uplift the people that were in degradation, the people who suffered. I mean, the music was birthed out of suffering! Out of Trench Town. It was inside of the pain and the agony that people started singing about it. It is inside of the pain that people are experiencing, where God has given us songs and he’s using the Gospel as a vehicle to go inside places where we probably would not be able to go. But I see this as a continuation of what took place in the ’70s in Jamaica.


 ithree's


The ithree's were a Jamaican reggae singing group made up of three women, that was formed in 1974 to support Bob Marley & The Wailers after Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer the original Wailer backing vocalists left the band.

The ithree's members were Marley's wife Rita Marley, plus Judy Mowatt and Marcia Griffiths.Their name is intended as a spin on the Rastafarian "I and I" concept of the Godhead within each person.

Backgammon Set

Deluxe Backgammon Set

Deluxe Wooden Chess Backgammon Set will entertain you for hours. This deluxe backgammon set features beautiful wood styling and inlaid playing surface. The board conveniently folds into a carrying case.

Backgammon is one of the oldest board games for two players. The playing pieces are moved according to the roll of dice, and players win by removing all of their pieces from the board. There are many variants of backgammon, most of which share common traits. Backgammon is a member of the tables family, one of the oldest classes of board games in the world.


Although luck is involved and factors into the outcome, strategy plays a more important role in the long run. With each roll of the dice, players must choose from numerous options for moving their checkers and anticipate possible counter-moves by the opponent. Players may raise the stakes during the game. There is an established repertoire of common tactics and occurrences.
Like chess, backgammon has been studied with great interest by computer scientists. Owing to this research, backgammon software has been developed capable of beating world-class human players.

Rules

Backgammon playing pieces are known variously as checkers, draughts, stones, men, counters, pawns, discs, pips, chips, or nips.
The objective is to remove (bear off) all of one's own checkers from the board before one's opponent can do the same. The checkers are scattered at first and may be blocked or hit by the opponent. As the playing time for each individual game is short, it is often played in matches, where victory is awarded to the first player to reach a certain number of points.

The Angry Old John McCain


After President Obama addressed the nation from the White House, former presidential campaign opponent Sen. John McCain delivered a blistering critique of the President.

“ I've been around this town for a number of years, and as is well know, had an interest in the Presidency more than academic”, McCain said as he began. John McCain noted that his perch as a lawmaker has afforded him a chance to see several presidents handle national moments of crisis.

“As I watched other presidents address crises, the way that they were able to resolve them and resolve them with presidential leadership".

“So what did the president of the United States just do? Well, he made a couple of jokes, laughed about how people are going to be here for New Year’s, and sent a message of confrontation to the Republicans".“ I guess I have to wonder!

McCain-Hotheaded

"The thought of [McCain] being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He is erratic. He is hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me." - Senator Thad Cochran (R-Mississippi), the Ranking Member of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Mitt Romney does no even like the Bushes Dog!


On June 27, 2007, The Boston Globe reported that in 1983 the Romney family strapped the dog in a crate on the roof of the family station wagon and drove 12 hours from Boston to a lake house in Ontario. Somewhere along the way, poor Seamus soiled the crate and the car's back window. As The Globe reported it, Romney stopped at a gas station, hosed down Seamus and the car, put the dog back into the wind-protected kennel and drove on. 

Three days later, Globe reporter Michael Levenson wrote that "Time.com's swampland blog has been flooded with more than 300 comments from readers complaining of animal cruelty.


Bo welcome President Obama

Based on the behavior of previous four-legged White House occupants, it is hard to draw too many conclusions. During the George W. Bush presidency, Barney the Scottish terrier had his own Web page on www.whitehouse.gov (which he shared with the Bushes’ other dog, Miss Beasley , and showed his gratitude by biting a Reuters reporter during the administration’s waning days. Socks and Buddy, the Clinton's  cat and dog, drew enough mail that Hillary Rodham Clinton assembled a book of letters, though Socks’s nastiness to Buddy got him gifted to Betty Currie whenthe Clinton's left the White House.

Free Stuff Mr Romney?

Depraved indifference is references is reserved for Minority audiences Newt Gingrich used those references  during his failed bid for the Republican Nomination for Presidency his most famous, "Barack Obama is the Food stamp President". When Newt Gingrich made these references Newt Gingrich knew there were more whites on Food Stamp than there were Blacks or Hispanics but he continued to make the point labelling minority including Black Folks dependent on food stamps.

Tell the truth what's in your Heart!


As Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney did not see ant Free Stuff  he would (providing Mr Romney thought at that time Federal Aid was free) what is evident Mitt Romney embraced all that was sent to his State as Pork Barrel Projects and even vigorously pushed for more Federal Funds.

One should not decry Mitt Romney for doing all he could to search for every Federal Aid of Federal Program to benefit his State. Mr Romney's State was his Family and it was his responsibility to fend for the citizens of the commonwealth of Massachusetts and he did that well. Mr Romney did not consider the Money through these Various programs Free Stuff and they were not free. Mitt Romney would argue the Commonwealth of Massachusetts sends Tax Dollars to Washington and these programs and Aid is a repatriation of those Tax Dollars.

Mitt Romney boast one of his proud achievement success of the winter Olympics where Mitt Romney lobbied the Federal Government and received $1.3 Billion dollars to help him succeed in bringing the Olympics to some semblance of success. Those $1.3 Billion Dollars was never considered Free Stuff while Mitt Romney was able to dole out those not free stuff to his friends in contracts.

Mitt Romney's rivals in the 2012 Primary has assailed his hypocrisy on his love for Free stuff,   GOP rival Rick Santorum also accused Romney Saturday of "hypocrisy" for raising the issue of earmarks given his record at the Olympics. The Romney campaign responded that Santorum was "shooting himself in the foot" over the issue. 
In recent weeks, Romney has portrayed himself as an uncompromising fiscal conservative and criticized Santorum for being a “strong defender” of federal earmarks. “Look, I’m in favor of a ban on earmarks,” Romney said during a recent interview on Sean Hannity’s television show. “I think spending in Washington is out of control.” Earmarks "Free Stuff" is what helped Mitt Romney to put a successful face on the Salt Lake City Olympics
In turning around the 2002 games, Romney got a big helping hand from U.S. taxpayers

Free Stuff. The federal government poured $1.5 billion into the Salt Lake games – more than twice the amount spent on any previous U.S. Olympics.
 Republican Sen. John McCain called it a “fleecing” of the U.S. Treasury. Mitt Romney did not see this as Free Stuff.
“The Olympic Games supposedly hosted and funded by Salt Lake City, which began in corruption and bribery, has now turned into is an incredible pork-barrel project for Salt Lake City and its environs.” McCain said in a Sept. 19, 2000, speech on the Senate floor. Senator John McCain is a current reluctant supporter of Mitt Romney for President.

Blowing of the Abeng

Abeng, Bull Horn Primed with liquid for Sound.
Blowing of the Abeng, Ambassabeth Cabins in Bowden Pen, Portland The blowing of the Abeng, the traditional "war horn" of the maroons and the beating of the Gumbay drum, highlighted activities at the annual celebrations of the maroons in observance of Emancipation day 2011.

"The Emancipation Act was read to the slaves on the 31st of July in 1838, so there was a Proclamation which was read at midnight by the then Governor, which said to slaves: 'you are now free' and so the vigil is a re-enactment of that day,"

With 176 years since slavery was officially abolished in Jamaica, the celebratory atmosphere that existed, in the hours leading up to Emancipation Day (August 1) is still kept alive through the yearly staging of Emancipation anniversary vigils island-wide.

 Come out and visit our recreational areas in Blue and John Crow Mountains, National Park such as Holywell, Blue Mountain Peak Trail and Portland Gap as well as Upper Rio Grande Valley. Deeply rich in both natural and cultural heritage, a visit to BJCMNP will allow you to experience the true beauty of Jamaica's natural flora and fauna as well as reflect on the unique traditions and cultural practices of the communities who live and work around the park.

Indulge in a number of different activities including guided tours, hiking trails, bird watching, camp grounds and even picnicking spots to learn about Jamaica's wildlife and understand what it is that we strive so hard to protect!

Bowden Penn is at the foot Hills of the John Crow mountains between Portland and St Thomas.The Ambassabeth Cabins is a privately owned Bed and Breakfast or long term accommodation. Cabins are made of Authentic wood and Bamboo designed to replicate the original huts of the Maroons but with some modern facilities.

The Team Stand UP

Team Huddle at a Target Store

After years of low wages and a meaningless Job opportunity the Team at the Valley Stream Target Store will Vote on JUNE 17TH to have Union representation.This is unprecedented for Target Corporation who have been under the radar and presenting themselves as a great place to work.

Of course Target do hire and train the best they can hire at minimum wage, the Team respond under duress to provide the best environment for the guest who visit their these well kept Stores.

It is difficult to complain about the quality of service in these Target Stores when you can find a Team member.Target must realise that 4-16 hours a week at minimum wage cannot feed a family or help their hard working Team members who attend college.

Team members must be paid holiday wage when when required to work on these important Retail Sales days, Team members must be paid a reasonable wage for work,Team Members will not be denied benefits by suppression of the number of hours they work while their availability is being suppressed by Target.

The Team Members at the Valley Stream Target Store will have a Union as of June 17th, this is a courageous Team and they will WIN!

Thought of Today

What do you believe


What do I believe?,
what are my convictions?,
Am I willing to stand up for something or nothing?
what sacrifices am I willing to make?
Am I willing to stand up for what I really feel or think?
Am I willing say publicly what I really feel privately and is emotionally eating at every fabric of my being?
Am I willing to do what's best for me, my friends and my family.
Who or what influences
Am I just going along because I think I cannot influence change
?
Am I waiting for someone to be my Hero?
