Arts & Humanities - 17 July 2007

I read someone else’s story plot and wondered if I could do the same? I like to write and I like to expose situations so that positive endings that I cannot achieve may be brought about by others. I would like feed back about this story. Is it something you would want to read more about? Is it something that would anger you enough to want it stopped? I will appreciate any feedback. Names and other facts are not real, though I am sure I will get grief for exposing this issue.

Georgiana clawed at the 4’x 6’ plywood bolted over her bedroom window trying to get free. It was cut down to a 4’ x 4’ piece because her room in the trailer was only 4’ wide.

Andy, her step father did this the last time she crawled out the window to run away.

Georgiana is considered to be a problem child at school though no one knows she is infected with HIV. Her mother, Ann was told that Georgiana was born with it. That is what Ann was told when she
too was diagnosed with HIV.

Andy refuses to be tested and Ann is a hemophilic so her doctor assumes she got HIV from a blood transfusion and this theory has been considered fact every since.

Who really knows if Andy wasn’t infected when he met Ann and infected her? Maybe he infected Georgiana also while molesting her during the videos he made to sell on the internet?

He is not of good moral character. After his arrest, Andy put up bail money to be free. He was then caught having sex with a fifteen year old girl and he was returned to jail without bail. that time

He refused to be tested for HIV so his status is not a consideration in the case of the fifteen year old. One would think testing the fifteen year old for HIV would be a good idea, but since her molester has not been diagnosed with HIV and the test is considered to have too many rules attached for most emergency departments to do routinely, the fifteen year old never did get tested.

Any is in jail now. Ann is dealing with the betrayal of her second husband, the anger of her daughter and trying to survive AIDS.

Georgiana has had a few boyfriends since the trial of her step father. She does not want any of them to know she has HIV and she has been intimate with each. She is under the impression that anyone who exposes her status will go to jail.

This is the point where I walked away from my involvement with this family. For many reasons I decided to choose a different career path, but I keep in touch with Ann and Georgiana and wonder if somehow a positive ending can still come about. Ann and Georgiana claim I was their hero, but other sources felt I had to be stopped. The problem is I do see hope, but I am only one person with limited resources.

plate reads as best as I can make out- "Real A. Bros China- Iron Stone." At the top of the script there is a figure of a royal crown. Each plate is individually marked and numbered. The decor of the plate is painted in reds, blues and flecks of gold. At the center is a vase holding a mix of flowers, wild and others and at the rims on three sides are drawn and painted within circles (smaller plates?) a kind of bird - or may be chicken.
Can anyone help me identify this plate and lead me to where I might find additional info as I am preparing to put the plate (s)
on the market. I also think that there is a possibility that the plate (s) is circa1888s. Thanks so much for your help.

I look at you,
As you look at me,
You look so happy,
It hurts me.

You once loved me,
But that love's past,
You found new love,
That will always last.

You tried so hard,
But I said no,
Afraid to let,
My feelings show

I loved you to,
And will forever,
Even though,
you now love her better.

You said you loved me,
Now you dont.
Will I give up?
No I won't.

Even though you love her,
You once felt that for me.
And if it kills me,
I will make you see.

You will always feel,
Like you felt that time.
Deep down in your heart,
you will always be mine.

You still have that love,
Once expressed from you,
I still have my love,
and will always love you to.

I'm 17 and heading to college next year in New York City. I'm undecided about exactly what I want to do with my life, but I really want to give acting a shot. If anyone knows of any acting/theater workhshops, reputable agents or auditions coming up in the Manhattan area it would be much appreciated.

if Britain and USA left Germany alone for the next one year (to built up their military strength and Germany didn't declare war on USA) and Operation Barbarrosa took place one and a half months earlier? And assuming that they are able to do their task by Winter?

I mean to say if Germany loosen up its western commitment in France and gathered maximum resources in eastern front, will Hitler sacked the communists?

Did you read anything that might suggest Stalin DID had contingency plans in case Hitler take Moscow?

Thus the bottomline is do Hitler got what it takes in term of technological advances, troops discipline, talents, wit to take on the Russian polar bear?

Any insights are most welcome too.

Jacques-Louis David is one of my favourite artists. The neoclassicist movement would be unthinkable without his memorable paintings. I particularly love his "Death of Marat", "Tennis Court Oath", and "Death of Socrates".

The man embodied many contradictions, something I can definitely relate to. A friend of Robespierre(an idol of mine), he pledged solidarity to the death; in his famous quote he promised Robespierre "If you take the hemlock, I shall, too." Of course, he survived Robespierre's fall from power, did not take hemlock, and was imprisoned for a time.

Released from prison, he aligned himself with Napoleon and his work became the quintessence of the First Empire style. For a man of revolution, a man who sketched Marie Antoinette on her way to execution, the embracing of a new royalty was quite a turnaround.

So I ask, was his service to his ideals(whatever those happened to be at the moment) or to himself?

Isn't it strange that in competitive Latin American Ballroom dance it consists of Rumba, Cha Cha, Samba, Paso and Jive. Jive isnt Latin, it is swing. Also why isn't Salsa or Mambo or Lambada there as they are Latin? How can a competitive Latin American dancer not do Salsa as one of the dances. It seems strange.

I currently use Family Origins 9.0. I know-ancient news! I want to upgrade and would like reviews from actual users. Please list what you like best AND what you like least. One feature I'd particularly like to have is to add info to multiple individuals at the same time. For example, when I find a family in a census I would like to add the info to each individual record but all at once.

Thanks!

For instance:

All Catholics (A) are Christians (B), but not all Christians (B) are Catholics (A).

I'm going insane trying to remember what type of logical argument that is. Any help?
