Know thy enemy.
He challenges me. In this world where it is I that am forever pushing forward, I am unused to another soul who stretches my imagination, who pushes me, who reproves me. I am bewitched by his writing. I dance in his vocabulary. My dark side is exposed, although I will never betray my secret.
I imagine kissing him. I know he will be weak, aesthetics will punish him; I will win. My eyes will captivate him. My curves will torment him. My aroma will mesmerise him. I will play innocent. I will make him work, I will make him hurt.
Our lips will brush in electric excitement. I will draw it out. He will beg. Beg with his hands, twisting around my waist, desperately praying for deeper comfort; but I will refuse him. Beg with his words, spinning sweet seduction; I will feign nonchalance. Beg with his breath, heavy and dewed; I will act without care. Beg with his scent, aching for redemption; I will not heed his call.
I will walk away, in frozen indifference. He will dream of me. I have him in my power. And there I shall keep him, until I see fit to make use of him, as my will decrees. I play on his imagination. I tease his wildest eroticisms. I let him believe that his desires might come to pass, and then I take them away. It pleases me to watch him squirm. I am not so naive. His physicality will render him as my puppet.
He is now at my beck and call, one glance and he will be mine. Mine to do with as I wish. His yearning fuels my strength, his craving feeds my might, and his need is the source of my power.
Perhaps you will think I am wicked, you will perceive my heart to be cruel and my soul to be spiteful. But I am merely a product of my environment. For, like him, cursed with desire, I am also stained with the will of society, the affliction of the female.
One salacious touch, one prayer fulfilled, and I am tainted, I am stained with the mark of promiscuity. His interest dissolved, his love faded, I shall be left alone in ridicule. I will be scarred with the mark of an unchaste woman. Alone with my memories of desire, of hope, of wanting, I will liquefy into fruitless longing. My aching admiration shall be unrequited. The fish will escape the net. He has a thousand other women to tempt his wants, and he will not waste a second in remembrance of me.
Therefore as I am tortured, so I must torture him.
For without his desire, I am nothing. My strength is my weakness.
In this world, it is survival of the fittest.
Know thy enemy.

Little demand found for green house cleaning (7-1-08)
SALEM, OR — A survey of six residential cleaning businesses in Salem found that few of their customers are requesting green cleaning services, according to Salem Monthly.
Brian Lindon, Owner of Custom Care, told Salem Monthly: "I'd say less than 10 percent of our customers ask about the chemicals in our cleaning products. ...

Cleaning The Garage: A Necessary, but Sometimes Toxic Task (5-6-08)
As part of sring cleaning it is a good idea to look into cleaning up your garage. Get rid of the clutter that you have amassed over the years, get rid of things that you have not used in at least the last year. Best way to dispose of most things kept in the garage is to find someone that could make good use of your unwanted belongings. You can post it on online classified ads or aask friends or family members that may be interested. The difficulty with cleaning the garage comes down to the types of stuff we typically keep in the garage are left over home improvement substances such as paint or lawn products. These products are typically a hazard if disposed of in the trash and the more ethical way of removal is to donate it to peole or organizations that would find a use for it.

Judge suing city for $1M after fall on wet courthouse floor (4-14-08)
In Brooklyn, New York a judge plans to file a $1 million lawsuit against the city after slip from a wet floor. The judge apparently fractured his knee on the slip and is suoing the janitor as well as the city. "If the city in some way was negligent, the fact that he is a judge shouldn't preclude him from suing," said Doug Muzzio, a professor of political science at Baruch College. "If he's got a case, he's got a case." The question I have is why is the courthouse being mopped during business hours. Most courthouses have marble floors and are going to be slippery when wet, so it doesn't make sense to mop them during the day. This judge might have a case, but for a million dollars are you kidding me?
59 Immigrant Hotel Workers Arrested in Raid (4-9-08)
Federal immigration officials said they arrested 59 foreign-born workers in a raid yesterday at the Lansdowne Resort in Loudoun County. The officials said the detainees, all from Latin America, were suspected of having used fraudulent or stolen documents to obtain jobs at the hotel and golf resort.
Mark McGraw, a senior regional official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said in a statement that the raid was part of a "nationwide aggressive pursuit of unauthorized workers and employers who violate the law." Companies that use "cheap, illegal alien labor as a business model should be on notice that ICE is dramatically enhancing its enforcement efforts," he said. ICE officials did not say whether action would be taken against the managers or owners of the resort, which is operated by Benchmark Hospitality International. Full article from Washington Post

Because of the side effects that could result from unclean hospital, it is important for every company to train their employees in cleaning each hospital rooms as necessary.

Green Cleaning: Why all the Hype? (1-30-08)
In a report by Air Quality Sciences the importance of green cleaning products is presented. The report describes the types of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and particulate emissions that are released by cleaning chemicals. This results in a poor indoor air quality and results in respiration complications such as allergies and asthma attacks. The report also points out the fact that homes and schools as well as other buildings that use non-green cleaning products have poor air quality.
While most manufacturers and cleaning companies have learned the importance of green cleaning products, there are those that use the word "green" simply for marketing purposes. They can use words such as "natural" or "green" with out actually being safe. But the benefits from green cleaning products clearly out weigh the cost difference, which by the way has decreased in recent years.

Ariana Grande stunned on 'New Year's Rockin' Eve' as she performed 'Right There' and 'The Way' with surprise guest performers Big Sean and Mac Miller!
Does Ariana Grande ever miss a note? Singing in a pre-taped performance on New Year's Eve for Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve special, she sang "Right There" and "The Way" like the pro that she is — and looked as beautiful as ever while doing it! Rappers Big Sean and Mac Miller also appeared with her as surprise performers! Watch the performance below!
Ariana Grande Performs On 'New Year's Rockin' Eve'
While Ariana was always slated to appear on the special, it was a pleasant surprise to see Big Sean alongside her! He appears in the studio track but it's not always easy to get the schedules of two huge performers to align like they did for the New Year's Rockin' Eve special.
As always, Ariana looked gorgeous! In Tokyo for New Year's Eve, the singer was lucky enough to avoid the frigid New York winter air and dressed accordingly! She wore a black sequined corset top paired with a silver metallic skirt that was kind of reminiscent of a bow you'd put on a present! How festive! Along with her sky-high platform pumps, Ariana was definitely dressed the part for a New Year's Eve performance.
Ariana Grande & Nathan Sykes Officially Split — So Sad
Ariana also sounded just as fantastic alongside Mac Miller, performing her debut single "The Way". The 20-year-old singer is such a consistently strong performer and we love her for it!
We can only hope that 2014 is as great for Ariana's career as 2013 was — and we certainly wouldn't expect any less!
So, HollywoodLifers, what did you think of Ariana's performances? Let us know!

(CNSNews.com) - In a move that could hinder the efforts of fringe euthanasia advocates, a charity in Britain is pushing for the government to act against Internet websites promoting suicide.
Citing Australia as a possible model to follow, the suicide prevention group Papyrus wants the British government to outlaw the hosting and transmission of suicide-promoting websites.
"Child pornography, sexual grooming of children and racism are all illegal and can be dealt with by regulatory bodies," the organization said in a campaign leaflet.
"However, there remains a danger area which currently is not clearly illegal in this country and does not fall within the remit of any regulatory body -- websites and chatrooms which can encourage the vulnerable to take their own lives."
Applicable British law, which predates the Internet, outlaws aiding, counseling or inciting someone to take their own life, but prosecutions are dependent on proving a link between the information provided by the accused person and the act of suicide.
Papyrus coordinator Paul Kelly, whose teenager son died in a website-related suicide in 2001, said there was a lack of awareness of the role played by the Internet in promoting suicide.
Papyrus says young people can be particularly vulnerable: They tend to use the Internet a lot, and if experiencing depression or other adolescent problems could be endangered by sites encouraging suicide.
Typing relevant search terms into an Internet search engine brings up thousands of websites, ranging from bizarre death cults offering explicit directions for suicide and chatrooms where the relative merits of different methods are discussed, to more mainstream "right-to-die" organizations.
In countries including Britain, the U.S., Japan and South Korea, investigators have linked suicides to specific websites, and in some cases, legal threats have prompted sites to remove some offending material or shut down.
'Everybody's right'
Australia is one country that has taken clear legal steps to outlaw using the Internet to promote suicide, a step largely prompted by the activism of Dr. Philip Nitschke, one of the most controversial figures in the pro-euthanasia world.
A decade after helping four patients to kill themselves under the world's first euthanasia law (the law in Australia's Northern Territory subsequently was overturned by the federal government in Canberra), Nitschke continues to hold workshops providing what he calls "end of life information."
He says his mostly ill and elderly patients should be able to access such information.
Nonetheless, Nitschke has publicly questioned whether being terminally-ill should be a prerequisite for having the "right" to end one's life. His Exit International website's tagline is "A Peaceful Death is Everybody's Right."
Nitschke has also investigated a range of suicide methods, including asphyxiation devices of various kinds and what he calls the "peaceful pill" - a lethal homemade cocktail comprising easily available ingredients.
After various attempts to restrict his activities, including the removal of two barbiturates popular with euthanasia advocates from a medical prescription list, the Australian government in January this year introduced a new law making it a crime to use the Internet or phone to encourage suicide.
Convictions under the Suicide Material Offences Act can bring a fine of around $90,000 for an individual, and up to $370,000 for an organization.
In justifying the need for the legislation, the government cited two expert studies into the role of the Internet in promoting suicidal behavior.
A 1997 study published in the International Association for Suicide Prevention's journal, Crisis, looked at interactive suicide notes involving people who later committed suicide, and demonstrated the influence of the Internet on those who wanted to share their ideas and thoughts about suicide.
A 1999 study on suicide attempts, published in the American Journal of Psychiatry showed the risk of having access to online suicide methods.
Nitschke reacted to the legislation by moving his website to a New Zealand-based hosting company, although he continues to work and campaign in Australia.
Two weeks ago, a state lawmaker in South Australia used parliamentary privilege to deliver a speech on euthanasia, during which she gave details on how to commit suicide. They included the advice that Australians traveling to the U.S. could cross the border into Mexico and buy Nembutal, a popular suicide drug, for about $30. "It isn't detectable by sniffer dogs, and it has a long shelf life," said Sandra Kanck.
The lawmaker took the stepto highlight the legislation, which she opposes.
Normally, the unedited parliamentary record would have been made available on the Internet. But doing so in this case would have broken the new law, and the South Australian parliament took the unusual step of striking Kanck's speech from the record.
Nitschke promptly posted the speech on his website, saying it was "considered and balanced, and explained in detail the problems caused by the federal government's attempt to suppress end of life information."
Nitschke, who has co-written a booklet giving instructions for making his "peaceful pill," took part in an international "right-to-die" conference in Toronto, running from Thursday through Sunday.
Ironically, Sunday was World Suicide Prevention Day.

Hmmmm, no leaf spot and absolutely rot free here. But of course we have
such a dry summer climate a lot of stuff is rot free here. All other things
are at the very least, are adequate. It is hard to introduce a blue with
things like Seapower, Yaquina Blue, Delta Blues, Rippling River etc. (I
know there are a ton more) out there already. It's unique quality seems to
be in it's ability to produce superior offspring, we have several of it's
children slated for introduction in the future so the genes will be out in
the pool eventually. Thanks for the compliment on the photo but it is easy
to photo a flower that has no bad side or angle, makes me look like I know
what I am doing.

Social, psychological, and environmental-structural factors determine consistent condom use among rural-to-urban migrant female sex workers in Shanghai China
To determine potential social, psychological, and environmental-structural factors that may result in motivating female sex workers (FSWs), who are rural-to-urban migrants, and their paying partners in Shanghai, China to promote consistent condom use (CCU).
A cross-sectional study was conducted in five districts of Shanghai, including three suburbs and two downtown locales. We adopted a cluster randomized sampling method to obtain 20 geographic sites, which consisted of 1 or more communities/villages proximal to a location where FSWs were accessible. Five hundred four FSWs from 132 Xitou Fang (shampoo wash rooms), massage parlors, and hair salons who explicitly provided sexual services were enrolled in the study. Each participant completed a questionnaire survey and interview aimed to collect information on the perceptions and behaviors of individuals associated with a risk for human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(HIV/AIDS),self-efficacy at negotiating safe sex,and the physical, social, and policy environment of the establishments where they worked.
The percentage of FSWs who reported consistent condom use with their paying partners was 63.3%. Controlling for socio-demographic characteristics in multivariate analyses, environmental-structural support (OR, 3.96; CI, 2.52–6.22) for condom use was the most significant positive predictor of CCU among FSWs and their regular paying partners. A high perception of susceptibility and risk of HIV/AIDS (OR, 1.96; CI, 1.25–3.01), a high perception of benefits on condom use to protect themselves (OR, 2.06; CI, 1.32–3.22), and high safe sex self-efficacy (OR, 2.52; CI, 1.64–3.85) also play important roles on CCU based on multivariate analyses.
Environmental-structural factor support for condom use, in addition to social, psychological, and individual cognitive factors are significant predictors of CCU among FSWs, which should be assessed and addressed in research and interventions related to HIV/AIDS prevention among FSWs in China.
China is the largest low or middle income nation, and carries a large amount of rural-to-urban migrants (> 200 million in 2011), which contributes great risk for the spread of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). According to the most recent surveillance data available, the cumulative reported HIV-infected patients in China exceeded 370,000, including 130,000 who had progressed to AIDS. Four major factors, including drug abuse, migrant workers, unprotected and high-risk sexual activity, and the lack of knowledge about HIV/AIDS, have been identified as significant contributors to the HIV/AIDS epidemic among the general population in China.
Heterosexual contact is now considered the most common mode of transmission of HIV infection in China. Shanghai, one of the largest cities in China, had 1294 new HIV infections in 2011, 82.5% of which were acquired through sexual contact. Eight hundred eighty of the 1294 infections (68.0%) involved rural-to-urban migrant workers. Currently, there are approximately 200 million migrant workers in China, most of whom originated from poorer regions of the country and came to work in the cities as laborers, restaurant workers, and sex workers. The itinerant population is considered as the 'tipping point' for the current HIV/STI epidemic
HIV/AIDS prevention has been influenced by cognitive theories of behavioral change that emphasize promoting knowledge, perceptions, beliefs, and skills regarding HIV/AIDS
The initial success of environmental-structural intervention has inspired related intervention research in other countries, and recently in some pilot regions in China. These interventions are difficult to conduct without the support of FSWs, establishment owners, government and establishment-based policies, and support systems. Because commercial sexual service is illegal in China, investigation and research of FSWs is a sensitive issue which is not easy to conduct, thus limiting related studies in Shanghai. The purpose of the current study was to obtain information about social and psychological and environmental-structural factors in determining CCU among rural-to-urban FSW migrants in five districts of Shanghai using cluster randomized sampling.
This study was approved by the Shanghai Medical Ethics Committee and the Shanghai Municipal Health Bureau. All of the participants were informed of the study objectives and provided consent.
Sample and selection criteria
Shanghai is one of the largest metropolitan areas in China, with a 40% itinerant population in whom HIV/AIDS transmission is largely attributed to heterosexual contact. Because provision of commercial sexual services is illegal in China, and most FSWs generally operate covertly, it is impossible to estimate the actual number of FSWs operating in Shanghai. Non-governmental organizations and community hospitals are the best links to the FSW population, and we relied on their knowledge to conduct our cross-sectional survey by cluster sampling. Between July and December 2009, 20 geographic sites among 5 districts were identified randomly where access to FSWs was considered feasible. One hundred thirty-two small sex establishments, including Xitou Fang, massage parlors, and hair salons from 20 geographic sites of 5 districts which explicitly provided sexual services, were enrolled in the study. We visited every hotspot that provided commercial sexual services and interviewed the FSWs working there. Currently, there are only 4–6 FSWs working in each hotspot. The participant selection criteria included FSW migrants from the mainland who reported that at least one of their last three sexual partners had paid to go out on a date.
Sample estimation
By conducting a detailed review of the literature and performing a small scale pre-survey with a limited portion of the FSWs of the itinerant population in Shanghai, we found that risky behaviors, such as unprotected sexual intercourse, were practiced by 34%-40% of FSWs
The intra-cluster correlation coefficient (ICC) of the primary outcome is known to play a key role in the design and analysis of cluster randomized trials, in which clusters, such as health care organizations, school classes, or geographic areas, are randomized to trial arms and outcomes are measured for individuals within those clusters
Our final sample population was comprised of 504 FSWs from the Shanghai district hotpots located in 20 geographic sites.
Data collection
Researchers from the School of Public health of Shanghai Jiaotong University surveyed the FSWs of small sex establishments using structured questionnaires between May 2010 and January 2011. Individuals completed the questionnaires by interview-led surveys to collect detailed information about condom use and specific knowledge, perceptions, attitudes, behaviors, and the physical, social, and policy environment related to condom use and HIV/AIDS prevention. Prior to participation, we explained the aim and major content of the survey to each of the FSWs and emphasized that participation was voluntary and anonymous. The procedure lasted approximately 30 minutes and was conducted face-to-face in a private room. Each participant was compensated 50 RMB ($7-8 USD) in cash.
The questionnaire was developed by referring to the entertainment guide to HIV/AIDS prevention in the China and World Health Organization guidelines. A preliminary research showed good fitness of the questionnaire by reliability and validity analyses. The questionnaire consisted of socio-demographic characteristics of the participants (the age, hometown, year school was completed, civil status, monthly income, age of sexual debut, age at which the participant started selling sex, duration of sex work, and average client dates per week),predisposing factors of condom use (perception of susceptibility to HIV/AIDS , perception of benefits of condom use, and safe sex self-efficacy), and enabling and reinforcing factors, which are usually environmental-structural factors. The method by which we scored the constructs of perception of susceptibility, condom use, and safe sex self-efficacy was based on the Thurstone scale
The perception of susceptibility to HIV/AIDS and benefits of condom use were used to measure the individual perception of susceptibility to HIV/AIDS as follows: "everyone can be infected by HIV;" "HIV-infected people and ordinary people are difficult to separate;" "HIV can be spread through sexual transmission;" and "HIV also can be transmitted by oral sex.". Correct answers were credited with a score of one, while incorrect answers or responses of "do not know" received a score of zero. The sum of the score of each question was converted into a total score, with a maximum of 4 (Cronbach's alpha, 0.81). Another four items related to condom use during sexual intercourse were also used to measure the perception of benefits of condom use by the participants, and the sum of the score of each question was converted into a total score, with a maximum of 4 (Cronbach's alpha, 0.75).
The safe sex self-efficacy was investigated as follows: CCU with clients when sexually excited; reject clients who looked clean and offered more money not to use condoms; reject clients who refused to used a condom; use condoms with intoxicated clients. The sum of the score of each question was converted into a total score, with the maximum of 4 (Cronbach's alpha, 0.63).
Environmental-structural support was enabling and reinforcing factors supporting condom use in the establishment as follows: the perceived level of safe sex information exchange among employees; support from the establishment owner about the important of condom use during commercial sexual services; accessibility of condoms in the establishment; accessibility of HIV voluntary testing performed by government hospitals or the CDC; support from community physicians about health advise; health education and health promotion on HIV/AIDS from regular intervention for high-risk population; and getting free condom from family planning departments ( Cronbach's alpha, 0.71).
Consistent condom use was measured using a five-point Likert scale, as follows: "Have you always, almost always, sometimes, almost never or never use condoms during commercial sexual service (the primary dependent variable of our study)." FSWs were considered to use condoms consistently if they answered "always" compared to inconsistently, which was defined as "almost always, sometimes, almost never and never"
Data entry and analysis
Data were double-entered using Epidata 3.0 software. All statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows. Generalized assessments were made using the mean, standard deviation, and percentages. A chi-square test was used to compare differences in socio-demographic characteristics between the suburbs and central city. For multivariate analysis, the continuous independent variables were examined for normalcy and were categorized by the median. The dependent variable (condom use) was dichotomized into consistent (always) versus non-consistent (almost always, sometimes, almost never, or never) and a binary logistic regression was used to determine the predictors of CCU. To address potential collinearity among the variables, we added the variables to the regression model at a time by a forward stepwise approach, and the significant level was 0.05.
Characteristics of the individual, social, psychological and environmental-structural factors of the sample
The 504 participants who worked in small sex establishments were all rural-to-urban migrants from smaller cities outside of Shanghai. As described in Table
Association between individual, social, psychological, environmental-structural factors and CCU
As shown in Table

We entered the individual, social, psychological and environmental-structural factors in the multiple logistic regression model using a forward stepwise approach. As shown in Table
The results of our research among FSWs in Shanghai provide empirical information on HIV/AIDS prevention, which confirm the importance of social and psychological and environmental-structural factors determining CCU among FSWs and their paying partners. Significant predictors of CCU among FSWs in Shanghai existed at not only individual and social and psychological levels (predisposing factors, such as safe sex self-efficacy, perception of susceptibility to HIV/AIDS, and benefits of condom use), but also at the environmental-structural level (enabling and reinforcing factors, such as support from the establishment owner about the importance of condom use during commercial sexual services, accessibility of condoms in the establishment, and support from community doctors about health advise, health education, and health promotion) At the individual-cognitive level, self-efficacy on safe sex played a main role in CCU based on multivariate analysis, which indicates that it is very important to enhance safe sex behaviors by improving skills, such as how to negotiate safe commercial sex and persuade clients into using condoms consistently during sexual intercourse. Individual perception of susceptibility to HIV/AIDS and benefits of condom use also determined CCU among FSWs, and cognitive information can be easily delivered to FSWs via health education. Last but not least, environmental-structural factors determined CCU definitively among FSWs as evidenced from the multivariate stepwise logistic regression model. The results of the current study were similar to Moriskey
The commercial sex trade has a long and complex history in China, and has been greatly influenced by the political and economic changes experienced by the Chinese Republic during the 20th century
In July 2004, six national ministries of China implemented a condom promotion program to reduce HIV/AIDS transmission among high-risk populations (entertainment), which reflect the support of the government on a "harm reduction strategy" in HIV/AIDS prevention. Others believe that it is harmful to promote condom use by the government, which appears to encourage the commercial sex trade and make a conflict with the traditional strategies of fighting against prostitution. The contradictions caused by social values conflict in China, in which the government has become involved in the dilemma of HIV/AIDS prevention among FSWs. The prevalence of STIs and HIV in FSWs suggests a critical need for preventive efforts and health education. We suggest that non-governmental organizations (NGOs), universities, and community health service centers should play the main roles in HIV/AIDS prevention among FSWs, and the government should play a role in creating necessary policy and legal conditions to enhance environmental-structural support for condom use instead of conducting interventions directly.
The findings in this research show that environmental-structural factors support for condom use are significant predictors of CCU among FSWs; however, cross-sectional research design limits our current study to establish causal associations between social, physical, policy, and environmental support and condom use. In corollary research, we will conduct a prospective study in which FSWs will be followed over time, and assess whether or not their sexual behavior will change when they move between small sex establishments that vary in term of levels of environment-structural supports.

I became involved in the schools and families inclusion service at Back Up by attending a weekend training course on being a schools advocate. This gave me a good insight into the rewards and challenges of helping children and young people return to school after a spinal cord injury.
Soon after the training I was asked to be an advocate for a child called John* that had recently returned to primary school part time. I attended meetings with various professionals involved in supporting and helping John, from part time to full time education.
I was able to assist in this process by talking to John's class about living with spinal cord injury. I also spoke to the teaching assistants about how they could manage certain issues associated with spinal cord injury, should they arise.
I enjoy being a schools advocate because it gives me the opportunity to help others with spinal cord injury to get back to some sort of "normality". I think this is especially important for children and young people. They should be able to return to the school they attended previous to their injury, with the familiarity of their peers and teachers. This is possible with the right support and advice. It was very rewarding for me to hear that John is now at school full time.
Beth, the schools and families inclusion coordinator says:
"Kevin took time to understand the needs of the child and the school and tailored his visits to meet those needs. He was very proactive in educating the whole school community on spinal cord injury, by arranging several visits in a very short space of time. John said he feels happier at school after Kevin's visit and his family feel he had a positive impact on John being included at school.
The school said that the visits helped them understand John's needs and better include him. They found it useful to hear about and discuss spinal cord injury with someone that has first hand experience: "the class visit from the Back Up schools advocate was a great success and overwhelmingly positive. The children were able to ask questions that they couldn't ask the child concerned."

Let's resist plunging into Syria
Curt Loub
In a recent column, Dale Herspring called out Presi-dent Obama for drawing a "red line" on Syria's use of chemical weapons and then not following through with action.
"Unfortunately," Herspring noted, "Obama's refusal to follow-up on his threats dimin-ishes U.S. influence around the world." A similar "red line" argument was recently posed by neoconservative flag-bearer William Kristol. In de-nouncing Mr. Obama as a president "who does not want to start another war," Kristol stated, "(N)o one wants to start wars, but you've got to do what you've got to do." Ten years ago Kristol advocated the over-throw of Saddam Hussein, al-Qaeda's staunchest Mid-east enemy. John McCain is also calling for the United States to intervene in Syria.
But definitive proof of chemical weapons use by Syrian President Bashar Assad is lacking. Col. Lawrence Wilker-son, former Secretary of State Colin Powell's chief of staff, reports that his sources in the intelligence community call evidence against Assad "really flaky." Carla del Ponte, former Swiss Attorney General and current member of the Inde-pendent International Commis-sion of Inquiry on Syria, was even less equivocal: "(Sarin gas) was used on the part of the opposition, the rebels, not by the government authorities," she said. Further, "At the moment only opponents of the regime have used sarin gas."
We all remember how compliant politicians allowed themselves to be bamboozled into believing that Saddam had WMDs. On Syria, shouldn't we demand a higher standard of proof than what has been provided thus far?
America has suffered tens of thousands of casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan; our troops have endured multiple deploy-ments. The Harvard Kennedy School recently put the cost of future medical care for injured veterans at $1.7 trillion.
Can we suffer more? Abso-lutely. But there is no connection between Assad and al-Qaeda. In fact, Assad is fighting against al-Qaeda. Additionally, America already spends more on defense than China, Russia, India, Brazil, England, France, Japan, Ger-many, Italy and 196 other countries — combined. Yet the combined GDP of the nine named countries is twice that of America. Couldn't our limited tax dollars be better spent here, rather than there?
One also has to wonder where the House and the Senate are in all of this. Article 1 of the Constitution gives Congress the power to declare War. Congress has asserted the War Powers clause before the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, the Spanish-American War, World War I and World War II. But since World War II, the House and the Senate have avoided formally declaring war, instead opting for lesser declarations. Isn't the decision to go to war worth formally debating and voting on?
The better course on Syria at present is that offered by former National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezin-ski. "It is an incredibly messy situation," he states. "We know that some of them are Salafists who have the support of the Saudis. We know that groups from Iraq are involved, we know that the Kurds are involved, and we know that a significant number of Syrian refugees flee to Turkey. The point is that it is a com-prehensive mess in the context of which you are not in the position to make good choices. Simply plunging into the unknown would not be all that wise. And if we did it anyway, who would be on our side?"

BeschreibungThieme's study focuses both on responses to texts that have frequently been associated with the colonial project or the construction of 'race' (The Tempest, Robinson Crusoe, Heart of Darkness and Othello) and texts where the interaction between culture and imperialism is slightly less overt (Great Expectations, Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights).The post-colonial con-texts examined are located within their particular social and cultural backgrounds with emphasis on the different forms their responses to their pre-texts take and the extent to which they create their own discursive space.
InhaltsverzeichnisIntroduction - parents, bastards and orphans; Conrad's hopeless binaries - "Heart of Darkness" and post-colonial interior journeys; "On England's Desert Island Cast Away" - protean Crusoes, exiled Fridays; reclaiming ghosts, claiming ghosts - Caribbean and Canadian responses to the Brontes; turned upside down? Dickens's Australia and Peter Carey's "Jack Maggs"; encountering other selves - re-staging "The Tempest"; removing the black-face - a different "Othello" music; conclusion - narrative agency in Pauline Melville's "The Ventriloquist's Tale".
PortraitJohn Thieme is Professor of English Studies at South Bank University.
Pressestimmen"Postcolonial Con-texts addresses one of the most relevant and exciting issues of postcolonial discourse: the relationship between postcolonial writing and the English canon, providing a broad overview of how intertextuality works between colonial and postcolonial texts... ...The whole study...carries a complicated network of cross-references between the texts, skilfully handled by the author. Despite the huge and complicated material, Thieme keeps the structure of the study transparent by constantly reinforcing his thesis and looking back to his findings and conclusions. He writes in an easily apprehensible, eloquent scholarly style. The book contains a substantial bibliography, suggesting further reading material for scholars and students. I recommend this book to a professional readership of postcolonial scholars, critics, and students whose scope of research includes intertextuality or any of the texts (re)considered. Even those who have not immersed themselves in postcolonial studies will find it worth reading." HJEAS, 2005

Indigenous Aesthetics: Native Art, Media, and Identity

Januar 1998
BeschreibungWhat happens when a Native or indigenous person turns a video camera on his or her own culture? Are the resulting images different from what a Westernized filmmaker would create, and, if so, in what ways? This book discusses the core concepts of aesthetics and indigenous culture and examines the work of American Indian documentary filmmakers.
Pressestimmen"Leuthold has captured an understanding of Native life that is rarely presented to the outside world... His book is a real 'eye-opener' for those who love but don't really understand artistic creativity. It is an equally significant introduction to Native American filmmaking and to Indian art in general." Tom Holm, Professor of American Indian Studies, University of Arizona

Rotherhithe is a convenient halfway point between Canary Wharf and the West End - a short hop to each along the Jubilee line from Canada Water.
This improving riverside district is undergoing a second wave of regeneration (the first was back in the Eighties) which is hooking a new generation of buyers searching for that elusive combination of an affordable home close in a central location.
Best address is the historic, cobbled conservation area around Marychurch Street, from where the Pilgrim Fathers set sail for North America in 1620, while the main commercial hub is Surrey Quays shopping precinct, part of a 40-acre improvement zone where 2,700 new homes are earmarked.
Maple Quays, the first phase of 900 homes, is being built around a new civic square which eventually will be at the heart of a new town centre with shops, restaurants and a library - there is even talk of a John Lewis department store.
Overlooking a narrow canal, a legacy from the old docks era, modern apartments have been selling steadily since their launch off-plan two years ago; prices have since nudged up and there is more growth to come. Prices start at £240,000 and show apartments are open for viewing. Call 020 7237 9311.
Shared-ownership flats at the same development are for sale through Affinity Sutton housing association - 30 per cent shares from £87,000, with a five per cent deposit. Call 0300 100 0303. Buyers must have a salary of at least £28,000 (£60,000 is the cut-off ) and must first register with housingoptions.co.uk.
A good number of Rotherhithe buyers are people priced out of the increasingly popular SE1 postcode, says James Hyman of estate agent Cluttons, spotting the development ripple spreading from Shad Thames. In time, the two areas may come to be seen as a single riverside district.
Chambers Wharf, a huge disused storage depot that has created a dead zone, is the key to this. The four-acre site has recently changed hands and planners have approved a mixed-use scheme including 596 flats.
The site has direct and very close views of Tower Bridge. At the moment the Thames path comes to an abrupt stop at the wharf. But redevelopment will create a continuous riverside promenade linking Shad Thames and Rotherhithe's historic waterfront. A houseboat community just west of Chambers Wharf will remain.
Bermondsey Central also fills a gap. A slightly off-piste address by a railway viaduct and light industrial premises, it is nonetheless close to all the SE1 action. A Saturday market has popped up in railway arches, marking the creep of gentrification. Prices start at £280,000, equivalent to about £500 a sq ft. Call Stirling Ackroyd on 020 7749 3810.

I sometimes think of you
like a flicker of light in the corners of my eyes,
the little blips that follow tributaries
across my vision when I stand too quickly.
When I close my eyes and open them again they will still
be there but
you will not.
Even though these fetch-like sparks
these tiny stars are no more than
errant signals flashing across the void of
a less-than-perfect fleshy machine, they will
always be more real than you ever
managed to be.
(please don't be angry with me,
I haven't yet given you a name.)
You are the God that ancient scribes could never capture in words.
You are the fish that never does more than heaves itself
over the surface of the water, tempting us fishermen and
sending us home with nothing more than the space of air between two outstretched hands.
I would not be satisfied if you were
any less elusive. You break nets with your teeth
and your intake of breath gives birth to

The elevator was much nicer than the one to his office; this one was carpeted with shiny mirrors on the sides, and had buttons with clearly stamped buttons. Ben pressed for the seventh floor and got off at the 'ding' of the elevator. He turned right, to the end of the hallway, to face the door that said in block letters; Dufton & Associates Law Firm. He expected his soon-to-be ex-wife already there – Gwen was always early for everything.
"Hi, I have an appointment with associate, Mr. Derek Bloom," Ben said politely to the young blonde secretary he had met for the fifth time.
"Of course Mr. Parker. Mr. Bloom and the lady are waiting for you inside the office." The secretary, by now, was rather well aware of the fact that he was getting a divorce. It was quite embarrassing for Ben to face her; that pitying look on her face when she says 'the lady' was starting to make him pity himself. Self-pity is not a good writer's trait – it allows for overdramatic writing and nonsense.
"Ah, Mr. Parker." The balding senior associate held out his hand for a shake.
"Good morning Mr. Bloom." "Gwen." The legally still, Mrs. Parker, glared at him and caught the tie he was wearing. The brown silk tie was the last gift Gwen gave him; it was at the restaurant 'La Dulce', on March 15th. A most ironic occasion to think of, considering the situation at present – their fifth year anniversary. Although, by then things had already become a little shaky.
"So, I'd like to just go over a couple of things. The final split of the assets and whatnot, as well as insurance deals. Then by the end of today's appointment, if there aren't any glitches, you two will just sign off and it'll all be sealed. Fine?"
"Fine," the used-to-be couple said simultaneously.
There were no glitches; the money transfers were peacefully settled and the insurance would take some time, but that didn't mean they'd have to still be bound as husband and wife, "I think that's about it. If you will both sign these two copies."
The two of them took a pen and separate copy each, ready to unbind themselves from each other. Gwen swiftly signed her name, and at the sound of her pen scratching the paper, Ben understood just how much she wanted it to be over.
He knew all of this was the result of his obsession of words, stories, plots and characters, and if he was able to give up a woman he once thought was the love of his life for that – he figured something amazing and unexpected will come of it. So he signed the paper and the release from each other's responsibility and care was finally finished as each of their pens scratched their names on to the second copy.

Welcome to Michael's by Michael McCarty
This is, without a doubt, the most frequently requested lunch dish at both restaurants. Our guests can't seem to get their fill—every time we take it off the menu, they demand it back! Because people seem to prefer it, we mix the salad in the kitchen, but I think it looks absolutely beautiful when arranged like a traditional French salade composee. I must say that after all these years, I still enjoy it myself, chopped and mixed beforehand.
Serves 4
• 1 1/2 cups olive oil
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup chopped chives
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 pound chicken tenders, all fat and sinew removed
• 3 tablespoons peanut oil
• 3/4 pound mesclun
• 10 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved lengthwise
• 2 avocados, peeled and diced
• 4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
• 1/2 pound Bacon Lardons
• 1/2 pound crumbled Maytag blue cheese
Combine the oil, vinegar, and chives in an attractive container with a tight-fitting lid. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and vigorously shake to incorporate. Set aside.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste.
Heat the peanut oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. When very hot, add the chicken and sear, turning occasionally, for about 6 minutes or until cooked through and nicely browned. Transfer to a platter and set aside.
Place an equal portion of the mesclun in each of 4 large shallow soup bowls. Cut the chicken tenders crosswise into thin slices and arrange equal portions of the chicken down the center of the greens. Place a line of cherry tomatoes on one side of the chicken and a line of avocado down the other side. Place a line of chopped egg next to the tomatoes and a line of lardons next to the avocado. Sprinkle blue cheese over all.
Serve with the dressing passed on the side or drizzle a moderate amount over the top as you serve, asking diners to mix their salads immediately.

The ties that unbind
The aged eyes embraced the impact of the words on the newspaper and the memory which poisoned his mind. He looked towards the child by the river and stood up. He moved towards the child slowly, an urge within him intensifying. The small dark head was so similar, no difference in age. The boy turned, but instead of recoiling, stared intently and this terrifying individual before him.
"Who are you?"
"I've just come to tell you not to get to close to the water. It can be dangerous."
"It's okay; I've got lots of swimming badges, and lifesaver ones too."
"Well, that's very good, but you need to be careful all the same."
"What's your name ? Mine's Charlie."
The old man's eyes seemed to brighten.
"I'm Paul."
"My best friend is called-"
At that moment a young woman with blonde hair hurried from the road above, and grabbed Charlie's hand aggressively.
"You stay away from my child, you freak! Look at you, you're a disgrace! Preying on small children, I know what you are – don't think I won't report you!"
She then turned her heel, her sheet of hair twisting, pulling along the child, who, at the top of the step, turned to the old man and smiled.
Paul turned back to his spot and saw his pile of belongings. He walked leisurely back towards them. He bend over and rummaged for a small bag hidden beneath his coat. He plucked out a wad of limp bank notes, and counted them for the first time in three years. He replaced them in the bag and slung it over his shoulder. He then gathered the newspapers which had protected and warmed him. He looked at the water, which now glimmered in the red morning light. He scattered the paper into the canal, and watched them slowly absorb and bloat, as he once did. Then he turned and walked away.
