In the United States, Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for the 5th of May) has taken on significance beyond that in Mexico.� Commercial interests in the United States have capitalized on the celebration, advertising Mexican products and services, with an emphasis on beverages, foods, and music. The date is perhaps best recognized in the United States as a date to celebrate the culture and experiences of Americans of Mexican ancestry, much as St. Patrick's Day, Oktoberfest, and the Chinese New Year are used to celebrate those of Irish, German, and Chinese ancestry, respectively. As a result, the holiday is observed by many Americans regardless of ethnic origins, especially in cities and states where there is a large population of Mexican ancestry. Although it is not an official holiday, many cities with large populations of Mexican ancestry honor the day as a symbolic representation of Mexican pride and as a representation of a culture that blends both Mexican and American roots. Celebrations tend to draw both from traditional Mexican symbols, such as the Virgin de Guadalupe, and from prominent figures of Mexican descent in the United States, such as C�sar Ch�vez.

Curb Day is Saturday, May 16th, 2009 Give your Stuff Away

On Saturday, May 16, 2009, people all over will participate in �Curb Day� by bringing unwanted (but still valuable) items to their curbs for others to cart away for free.

We all own �stuff� we don�t need � things that have value, but not to us. Overall, there are millions of items out there � good stuff, just wasting away, cluttering households. Many people could really use some of this stuff, especially in today�s economy.

Of course, selling or donating these items are options. But most of us don�t bother. We just keep packing it in, don't we? Learn more HERE
