The new white soul singer: Duffy Springfield

She has emerged from deepest Wales and is considered the potentially best new musical name of 2008. To those involved in Duffy’s journey towards the spotlight, it is a source of wonder that someone so gifted should come from the background she does. For in terms of pop awareness, she grew up virtually illiterate, firstly in the tiny coastal community of Nefyn (population 2,550 at the last census), then later in Letterstone, Pembrokeshire. Welsh is her mother tongue, English her second language.

The stunning designs that can be created makes the food the center of attention when you serve your guests. No need to worry about what else is on the table!

Portugal Day- 10th June

Portugal Day , officially Day of Camões, Portugal and the Portuguese Communities, marks the date of Luís de Camões' death in June 10, 1580.

Camões wrote the Lusiads, Portugal's national epic celebrating Portuguese history and achievements. Although it is only officially celebrated in Portugal, Portuguese descendents throughout the world celebrate the holiday whether they live in Brazil, India, the US, Canada, another European country, or Macau. The poem is mainly about the 16th century Portuguese explorations, which brought fame and fortune to Portugal. Camões' poem, considered one of the finest and most important works in Portuguese literature, became a symbol for the greatness of the Portuguese nation.

Make your voice heard- Save the Earth

An environmental conscience poem

Can you stare into my eyes
and declare you haven't thought
about the fate of the future?

Can you look me in the face
and say the race to save the planet
is already lost?

Do you feel you lack the speed
and that it's easier to concede
than to be crusaders?

Are you scared to raise your hand
and stand beside me
to fight the battle?

Does every pleading word I write
merely light up a candle
for those about to die?

If I beg you on my knees
will you please raise your arm
and speak out about the harm
that continues day by day
and try to stop it?

Graeme King, an Australian poet

I had a dream.....

All children would be happy.

All children would never work.

They would go to school.

They would have a family

Because all children need
love and tenderness

I wish all children were very happy!!!
