and 88 at night. Now we are in August and hot off the heels of Sumfest, Dancehall Queen and the Negril weekend. Every street corner in every part of planet Jamaica is pumping the new anthem, it a blast out every car that pass you in traffic, its on every radio station, the repercussions and echoes of it are ricocheting between zinc fences
... pounding thru board shops
and jumping off walls... U know which song it is that I speak of "...some bwoy nuh know this, dem only come around like tourist" Welcome to Jamrock... yah those words trickle off of every lip and throbs in every ear.

Like males of other species, every jamaican male is driven by the sexual desire to mate and ensure his genes are passed(sometime with a wide variety of partners) to the next generation. But the mere act of seduction, with a female sometimes many times his size and an appetite (both sexual and biological) to match, is frequently an expensive encounter.
If a males pocket survives the risky and sometimes pointless serenade, rapid copulation follows. But rejected suitors and even successful ones who dally a moment too long find themselves being eaten out by the female. It's a real life fiscal attraction.
The serenades are as varied as the males themselves—some 4 species and a variety of hybrids belonging to a variety of social groups. Some mate by using force (rape); others use chemical and financial incentives. Some woo their sweethearts with gifts (a technique commonly referred to as flossing) while others put on their dancing shoes for some seductive entertainment.| No, P Chin, Portia is great |

| No, not Portia |
Wednesday, July 13, 2005 |
Dear Editor,
Now I feel so sorry for Portia Simpson, senior minister, and now a contender for the top job, hoping to become Jamaica's next prime minister. Seems like every time she opens her mouth, one is forced to laugh ironically, this is not even a joke!
Now she says she will "rule with advisers", when asked how she would manage leading Jamaica on the international stage as the next prime minister. Your recent article "I will rule with advisers", said it all.
I recall a few years ago she was also asked "Why Portia for PM?"; her response was plain and simple, "Why not?" And that's your problem, Ms Simpson - simplicity cannot run a country! It takes certain skills and qualities, and even decorum to effectively lead a nation, and represent it on the world stage!
I fear the worst with Ms Simpson at the helm, certainly not the best the country could put forward as PM. Her competence, leadership and public service, though much appreciated, should clearly remain at the local level.
How can someone hoping to be PM, tell the media (which is read worldwide), she will do like other world leaders, and "rule with advisers"? Clearly, she doesn't have a clue!

I saw your article in the Monday's Observer and I am in total agreement
with you regarding Portia is capable of running the country. Once again
thsnks for article and your forthrightness. All the best.

All indications are that the imminent hurricane season will be at least as robust as last year's, although there is no chance of having a Charley, Frances or the devastating Ivan in the line-up, as those three storm-names have all been discarded forever. The terrible trio hit last year with merciless force, Ivan claming 77 lives in the Caribbean and 52 in the US, moving the international committee of the World Meteorological Organisation to replace them with the names Cindy, Franklin and Irene for the 2005 season. Hurricane names are only deleted if a storm is so deadly or costly that use of its name in a subsequent year would be deemed insensitive. Janet, which tore into Tobago (and other places) in 1955, was consequently axed from future consideration. Six lists are used in rotation, which means we will this year again see those utilized to identify storms of 1999. In Atlantic storms, the list is topped by a name beginning with the letter A and goes sequentially through the alphabet to the letter W (historical data suggests we will never have enough storms to invoke use of X, Y or Z).
