A HINT OF LIGHT is the story of Byung-suk, a black-Korean Amerasian boy orphaned to the streets of Seoul who must make his way through the gutters and back alleys of the marketplace, in and out of whorehouses and hotels, and protect Miya, a young, half-white Korean girl who is mute. Trapped in their own skins because of their color, these children are foreigners in their own land with no identity and no escape. A HINT OF LIGHT is a dramatic view of the streets through the eyes of its inhabitants and exposes the underbelly of racism that permeates Asian and American societies. Yet these children never lose hope or give up on their dreams as they discover their talent for languages and take advantage of adversity to turn it into good fortune in their search of their fathers.

Dr. David L. Anders is a practicing physician who provides a light-hearted view of those who have a tendency to drinking "just a little too much". As he says in the Introduction of "You Might Be A Problem Drinker If..." Almost everyone who drinks alcoholic beverages has at one time or another asked introspectively, "Why did I do that?" when reflecting on the activities of the night before. And suddenly, guilt is replaced by an attempted justification, with a self-assurance that, "It couldn't have been that juvenile", and if it was, everyone else there had imbibed more than you so you were off the hook. Nevertheless, at such times, you may ask, "Did I go too far? Do I have a drinking problem? Am I on the slippery slope to ruination?" and then you again comfort yourself with areassuring "Nawwww " and promise to behave next time. It is in these moments of insecurity that this book may be a useful tool.Ever since the days of the Great Flood, astute observers have identified a link between the consumption of excessive amounts of ethanol-containing beverages and undesirable alterations in human behavior. Over the years it has become fairly intuitive that such antics document not just a single event of regrettable activity, but actually establish the likelihood that other similar episodes have previously occurred - a pattern of behavior that serves up evidence that a true problem has been created by what is simply too much alcohol and too little discernment.Modern medicine has long searched for a test that could be rapidly self-administered, the results of which could let the test-taker know whether the potential for a problem with alcohol exists. Never missing an opportunity to transform something simple into something far more complex, researchers have attempted to quantify these episodes of indiscretion and the results of such astoundingly poor judgment. In the quest to refine the definition of "just how much is too much", many different questionnaires of varying levels of complexity have been developed that can be administered to individuals to determine if the use of alcohol has become a problem.But let's be honest. Defining someone who has gone past their limits at the bar is a little like defining pornography - "We know it when we see it." Should it really take a hour-long test to define someone who no longer knows when to say no? I think we can all agree that sometimes only one piece of information is necessary to identify a problem, if it's the right piece. For instance, the newspaper headline, "Man arrested for frisking department store mannequin" may tell us with a high degree of statistical probability all we really need to know about his drinking habits, without the expense of ordering a blood alcohol level or administering a fancy written test.Having studied this problem, I have come to realize that there is not just one Holy Grail question to solve this pursuit, but rather dozens, hundreds, if not thousands of single test questions, any one of which may be adequate in identifying that poor soul who no longer has control. I've summarized those questions in the pages that follow, a series of questions, any one of which may identify an area in your life which points to a potential problem.So find a comfy chair, sit back, and CHEERS Or, as my gastroenterologist friend says to his patients before colonoscopies, "Bottoms up "

As a fly tier for nearly 30 years, I have seen many changes in materials, fly design and sizing. Most of the new patterns we use today are contributed by a younger generation of tiers. They are better educated in the entomology of todays fisheries. We now have a large aray of materials, synthetics as well as natural. Fly tiers coming to America in the 1800s, had only natural materials available. Many of these early tiers found materials that were new to them; allowing them to create patterns to match the hatches they found in the new world. We owe a great deal of gratatude to these early pioneers. Their discoveries in the area of light refraction, creative hackle development and their perseverance, build the foundation and set the standard for how and what we tie today.We should not forget from whence our patterns came. A handful of talented and passionate tiers, two century ago, set the bar. Travel back in time with me and read their stories, tie their patterns and go fishing.

Winward Fearon on Collateral Warranties

Since this book was first published over ten years ago, collateral warranties have been used increasingly by funding institutions, building purchasers and tenants to create a contractual relationship between themselves and other parties involved in the project, whether architect, engineer, contractor or subcontractor. Indeed, collateral warranties are now being used to create primary contractual obligations. There have been some immensely important developments in the law relating to collateral warranties since the first edition. The Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 has introduced radical new developments into English contract law. The book now includes a completely new chapter on the legislation, which also looks at the potential practical uses of the Act on development projects. The House of Lords has handed down a number of key decisions recently on third party remedies and on the principles relating to damages on assignment (such as Linden Gardens, Panatown, Henderson v. Merrett Syndicates and White v. Jones). These and some 65 other new cases are considered in the new edition. Finally, a number of standard forms of warranty have been issued and these are now discussed, in particular the new JCT standard form of warranty for main contractors and subcontractors. This immensely important book was widely welcomed when it was first published. The new edition has been thoroughly updated and will continue to be the authoritative reference on the subject. "David Cornes and Richard Winward's book is a veritable mine of such information and is eminently readable" Construction News 16/05/02 "For those of you working in construction, managing building or indeed other contracts, you must have at least one authoritative source of advice and information. If this is your area of work, then this is your book" Building Engineer, July 2002
