Third Annual Career & Job Summit 2011

 

Having trouble viewing this email? Click here to read this newsletter online The STAND Foundation, Inc. "We Build Leaders"   Last Thursday night, President Obama spoke to the nation about the economy but more specifically about jobs. It takes more than federal policies to make real lasting change. It also takes leadership and thats why the STAND Foundation is sponsoring the Job and Career Summit Friday September 16th at the Metroplex Center in Little Rock starting at 9:00am. Please share this important information with as many people as you can.   Some of our Partners...

New Spot in the Rock: Porter's Jazz Cafe

I haven't visited Porter's yet though I plan to but here's the wording from an email forwarded to me. If anyone has been or plans on going please add comment.

Porter’s Jazz Café is now open for business located at 315 Main Street, downtown Little Rock. They are open for lunch from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The menu is well versed so you can go in and grab wings, a burger, chicken and waffles with a peach compote or a full course delectable meal such as my personal favorite, blackened tilapia, fried grits and asparagus: The perfect spot to get a break from the office and listen to jazz. If you are allowed, you can also wet your whistle by choosing a variety of drinks from their drink menu. To check out their menu, please visit www.portersjazzcafe.com.

Tonight there will be a jazz set from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. featuring pianist Chris Parker and his wife Kelly Hurt on vocals and two other musicians from Hot Springs. They are absolutely amazing. The atmosphere will not disappoint. You will be in for a beautiful surprise. Please support , they are open seven days a week catering to a VERY mature audience.
Live entertainment on the weekends!

Once I visit I'll post my on review.

My People Crack Me Up

SMH....Black people know they can show their asses.

Ms. Tina Loves You! 

Is This What's Really Up?

What part of the game is this? How are real dudes still taking Wayne seriously when he dresses like this? I, for one, am not amused.

Smash & Grab......for Weave?

This is some serious is!

What I See: Lil Wayne: How to Love

Wow - Now I'm a Lil Wayne Fan to begin with. Not one of his hard core groupies but I recognize that the dude has talent. His word play is the coldest. But after watching this video I might have to upgrade my status to groupie. Am I exaggerating? Maybe you didn't see what I saw. In the beginning of the video there's a woman on what I presume to be an operating table about to get an abortion. She chooses not to and haves a daughter who grows up witnessing the mom being abused,her father is incarcerated, she is actually abused herself and becomes a little promiscuous which eventually leads to teenage pregnancy, stripping prostitution and the doctor who would have aborted her, telling her she is HIV positive. DAMN. Mid video Wayne switches it up and shows the father being there in the daughter's life and it's a completely different outcome. Now I'm not going to get all over the brothers although the message here is obvious. TAKE CARE OF YOUR KIDS! But to all of you having sex - please protect yourselves and if an unplanned pregnancy occurs and you choose life. CHOOSE LIFE! Do everything in your power to give that baby, your child, everything that you can. I could go on and on - but I won't the message is obvious.

Love,
Latina Renee
