LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Joint military training exercises will be held evenings in downtown Los Angeles through Thursday, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The LAPD will be providing support for the exercises, which will also be held in other portions of the greater Los Angeles area, police said.
Training sites “have been carefully selected to ensure the event...
Yesterday Richard, our 71 year old neighbor, had a garage sale. We caught him in the early evening sitting in a lawn chair in his driveway with a glass of whiskey in one hand and a cigarette in the other. He’s sitting there with the top two buttons of his plaid shirt undone, his glasses with one regular lens and one tinted lens to cover up his bad eye, one of those neatly trimmed white...
what does it mean to live on the internet? what is the daily nutrition? when will government realize it’s a public health issue and recommend allowances? how does one stretch here? what is the equivalent of a salad? how should i stay fit? i’m beginning to feel like this is a real place, that actual life exists here, that actual injury can occur.

“We were put to work without any training, and paid piecemeal,” said one of the protesting workers, who asked not to be named. “The assembly line ran very fast and after just one morning we all had blisters and the skin on our hand was black. The factory was also really choked with dust and no one could bear it,” he said.
“Because we could not cope, we...

you remember and you relive. you daydream and you relive. in your daydreams, you do what you desire, say what you should have said. in french its called the spirit of the stairs. imagine, there is an entire alternate history of the world that exists in these moments. and what if we could unlock them from every individual and stitch them together. what would that history look like?

Biographer Ron Chernow wrote of Rockefeller:
What makes him problematic—and why he continues to inspire ambivalent reactions—is that his good side was every bit as good as his bad...

The other trap comes when we think about the future. If we stop buying Chinese products unless workers there are immediately treated and paid better, Chinese exports will fall, Chinese people will lose their quality of life gains, and the US government spending (paid for by debt bought by the Chinese) will have to be drastically cut. Is there any way out of the trap of wanting to buy...

Bitter branches spreading out. There’s none more bitter than the wood. Into the wide world, it grows, twisting under soldier’s feet, standing in line and the damp earth underneath. Holding up their rifles high, holding their young wives who wave goodbye. Hold up the clear glass to look and see soldiers standing and the roots twist underneath. Their young wives with white...

The scent of Thyme carried on the wind, stings my face into remembering cruel nature has won again. On Battleship Hill’s caved in trenches, a hateful feeling still lingers, even now, 80 years later. Cruel nature. Cruel, cruel nature. The land returns to how it has always been. The scent of Thyme carried on the wind. Jagged mountains, jutting out, cracked like teeth in a rotten...

Yes, and that’s what I was trying to articulate, those feelings. That’s the way that I found a way in, to even begin to write about these giant things. I just hoped that I was striking the right balance, and all the way through the writing process I needed feedback. For instance, I approached the whole album in a different way, and I only wrote words for a long, long time. I wrote...

People ask what are my intentions with my films — my aims. It is a difficult and dangerous question, and I usually give an evasive answer: I try to tell the truth about the human condition, the truth as I see it. This answer seems to satisfy everyone, but it is not quite correct. I prefer to describe what I would like my aim to be. There is an old story of how the...

Adrienne Rich - Excerpt from 21 Love Poems (3:15)
Oh, just hanging out at the vanity castle, in the vanity neck brace, posting vanity scratch and sniff stickers everywhere. They smell like neosporin and channel. My agent got them for me. Did you know I have an agent? Yeah, he’s really great, from the best agency. But you know the best thing about him is that he’s a good guy. And I only work with good ppl. That’s something...

A Small Grove in
Torri Del Benaco
Outside our window we have a small willow, and a little beyond it a fig tree, and then a stone shed. Beyond the stone the separate trees suddenly become a grove: a lemon, a mimosa, and oleander, a pine, one of the tall slender cypresses that a poet here once called candles of darkness that ought to be put out in winter, another willow, and a...

The Secret of Light
I am sitting contented and alone in a little park near the Palazzo Scaligere in Verona, glimpsing the mists of early autumn as they shift and fade among the pines and city battlements on the hills above the river Adige.
The river has recovered from this morning’s rainfall. It is now restoring to its shapely body its own...

“childrens tough, all they ask of you is the truth… nobody sits down really with children… do parents sit down and tell their kids everything? I don’t know. I do, because I’ve convinced myself, I hope I’m right, that children despair of you if you don’t tell them the truth… it’s intensely private i have been with them in...
. . . . . . . Bread goes up so bread goes up again Rents go up This brings an instant doubling of all rents The cost of clothes goes up So the cost of clothes goes up again. There’s no way out We’re caught in a vicious circle. In the cage there is food. Not much, but there is food. Outside are only great stretches of freedom. . . . . . . . Nicanor Parra

No Second Troy WHY should I blame her that she filled my days With misery, or that she would of late Have taught to ignorant men most violent ways, Or hurled the little streets upon the great, Had they but courage equal to desire? What could have made her peaceful with a mind That nobleness made simple as a fire, With beauty like a tightened bow, a kind That is not natural in an...

To An Isle In the Water Shy one, shy one, Shy one of my heart, She moves in the firelight Pensively apart. She carries in the dishes, And lays them in a row. To an isle in the water With her would I go. She carries in the candles, And lights the curtained room, Shy in the doorway And shy in the gloom; And shy as a rabbit, Helpful and shy. To an isle in the water With...

had a dream about you last night that we were walking somewhere in brooklyn together. very big metal scary industrial zone. windy. very angular and ghostly feeling. no people. we’re walking and holding hands feeling like brother and sister, so close it’s like we’re twins. and you’re telling me different lines of poetry that you’d written and I ...
What is emotionally darkest in Bergman’s film is connected particularly with a sub-theme of the main theme of doubling: the contrast between hiding or concealing and showing forth. The Latin word persona means the mask worn by an actor. To be a person, then, is to possess a mask, and in Persona both women wear masks. Elizabeth’s mask is her muteness. Alma’s mask is her health,...

There was once a prince, and he wanted a princess, but then she must be a real Princess. He travelled right around the world to find one, but there was always something wrong. There were plenty of princesses, but whether they were real princesses he had great difficulty in discovering; there was always something which was not quite right about them. So at last he had come home again, and he was...
Q. Many Americans resent that China is “stealing” our manufacturing jobs. What do you think about those concerns now that you have experienced firsthand what some manufacturing conditions are like?
A. Let’s be clear. The manufacturing jobs are the way they that they are because we’ve chosen to collude with a fascist country, to strip away the labor conditions that so many thousands fought and...

That’s quite a colorful outfit. It gives me pleasure to combine colors. Here’s some advice: If you ever have a hot date and you feel lousy, dress very flamboyant, because nobody looks at you; they’ll look at your accessories.
I’m not sure that would work for me. Well, I used to have an inferiority complex, but I came into my own.
