The
Commonwealth of Dominica Paradise, Eden, Shangri-la
By
UNKNOWN
In the midst of all the information
we are gathering, we come across so much evil and discouraging
news. People seeking the truth want the truth - no matter what
the outcome - and we study very hard to achieve this goal.
Sometimes it is advantageous to stop studying, stop worrying,
for a little while -- even for a day -- and relax and look at
beauty in this world. Our minds can get on overload sometimes!

The
Big O
By
JADA April 12, 2004
For years many women have thought
it was impossible for women to orgasm or to reach that unthinkable
place of sensual pleasure. And that man dominated the bedroom
when it came to being ultimately satisfied. Until realizing
that ultimate satisfaction is when a women has been taken to
infinity and beyond. I'm not just saying this because I'm a
woman but men, a woman must be satisfied before you say you're
done.
Women who have had the pleasure of experiencing an orgasm recall
feeling so alive, invigorated and a feeling of total body shock.
There are, however, many women have yet to experience an orgasm
with their partner or on their own.

Godett
here to stay?
He
said it and Today newspaper illustrated it. FOL leader Anthony
Godett has asserted that his cabinet will stay until 2012 despite
the slim parliamentary base. Picture Godett, literally owning
the seats in parliament while the infuriated political leaders
of the various parties—Sarah, Romonsito (Bonaire), Ray
(Saba) and William withdrawing their support or seats from the
Central Government, as is the case now. Do you get the picture?
If not, check out this cartoon done by Loic Bryan that made
the front page of the January 30, 2004 edition of Today Newspaper.

Boyz II Men, It's a Bend in the Road
By
Cdnow,
July 24, 2002
For
Nathan, Michael, Shawn and Wanya -- the onetime boys, and
now men, of Boyz II Men -- things have changed somewhat since
the heady, early days of their 1991 debut, Cooleyhighharmony.
The quartet recently ended their decade-long affiliation with
Motown Records amidst growing unhappiness over record sales:
Once counted on to routinely sell 5 and 6 million albums on
the back of such hits as "End of the Road" and "I'll Make
Love to You," the Boyz have found that their perennially smooth
harmonies and adult-friendly love songs are no match for their
audience's current fondness for teen pop and neo-soul.

Computer is Hurting you

Ergonomics
is not a four-letter word — even though many business
owners may think otherwise.
That's
because when business people hear the word ergonomics, they
immediately think of dollar signs — as in what it will
cost to outfit employee workstations with new setups to prevent
sometimes crippling injuries.

Vice
President of the Democratic Party Gregory Richardson told

|  Guidelines
Given for Tipping:
By MSN,
July 8, 2002
Some
days it seems like everyone's expecting a tip.
Hands get held out at the car wash, at the local diner and
even by the clown at a child's birthday party. Then we put
money in them.
Americans paid out more than $14 billion in tips to restaurant
employees in 1999, the last year of available data, according
to the IRS.
"(Tipping) used to be something people did before the service
to ensure they received proper service," Donna Panko, an etiquette
expert at Image Works Wonders in Orland Park, Ill., said,
explaining why most people believe the word "tips" is an acronym
for "to insure proper service."

Guys Like Fat Women?
Dear SXMLink:
Even though I'm in pretty good shape, I look in the mirror
every day and see a less-than-ideal body. If I see my flaws

8, 2002
Home
for the summer and finally able to experience what the island

St. Maarten students have concluded that the island is in
one big social and economic mess.
Inviting
comments from some of the vacationing students over the weekend,
The Daily Herald learned that many, if not all, are also firm
in their mindset that they will not return home unless things
improve, in particular as it pertains to them directly.

Times Prom Night 2002
What a bash
"It
was up to them to make their Prom, to have their fun. And
they did exactly that. This group of students, the classes
of 2002, were awesome. What a night that was. I am truly at
a loss of words to describe how great it was," he said.
Leading the way for the students were the King and Queen of
the Prom.

DVDs
are pushing videotapes off retailers’ shelves
Soon,
you will no longer be able to buy movie videos at Circuit
City. No more “Hunt for Red October,” no more
“Casablanca” - at least not to play on your videocassette
recorder. The nation’s second-largest electronics retailer
is phasing out sales of videotape movies as the chain makes
way for the inevitability of DVD.

fringes vulnerable to thaw
By msnbc,
June 17, 2002
The
Antarctic ice sheet holds enough frozen water to be
a major player in the climate change game if it melts.
Concerned about a range of possibilities, from rising
sea level to upsets in the oceans’ circulation
patterns, scientists have been scrutinizing the continent
for signs of change. A new report in the journal Science,
published by Association for the Advancement of Science,
suggests that the ice sheet’s edges are most vulnerable
to climate warming, and are melting faster than scientists
had realized.
