Stunner's Afflictions: No JPS! NO!!!

No, is exactly what the Office of Utility Regulations (OUR) told the Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) when they attempted once again to extort money from the Jamaican public. Once again JPS attempted a brazen attempt of high way robbery when it applied to the OUR for it's latest increase in its utility charges. The JPS applied for an increase to recover over four billion dollars from it's already burdened customers! - Fri, 05th Mar at 1:00 am

First Time: The cat's out of the bag

I've been at my current job for 13 and a half years. I recently finished the last new studio. Now it's official: I have installed every piece of equipment, and ran every cable. Every time my contract was up, usually every two years, my position has been advertised, so that if there was a qualified Caymanian who applied, the employers were required to give them the job. For me it sucked, having my job advertised, but I could see it was a good law. Well this time, someone else got my job. - Mon, 23rd Aug at 1:00 am

Into the Trembling Heart: Five hours in Port-au-Prince | This is the blog of FIR

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – walking around in the rubble on Grand Rue, one gets the distinct feeling that people are putting on a brave face. Three months after the earthquake that took the lives of more than 200,000 people, life continues despite the indescribable destruction as its residents continue the painstaking process of rebuilding the capital – arguably the most important cultural and historical city in the Caribbean. on Fri, 30th Apr at 1:00 am

World AIDS Day 2009: "not another aids poem."

Back in the early eighties when “not another aids poem” was written, our family was living in fear. My wife’s cousin, Hernando, was dying and nobody knew why. The doctors tried everything—interferon and other drugs used to treat cancer—but nothing worked. Then, we learned he had been diagnosed with AIDS. - Tue, 01st Dec 2009 at 10:35 am
