"Harry" art work: After a year of recession and loss of trust in the global financial and political
systems, there is a yearning among customers for authenticity and simplicity. There is also a desire
for an emotional connection with the environment as consumers crave meaning and context in their
surroundings. The 2011 collections will have a sense of fun, escapism and understated luxury about
them. This simple but dramatic design piece from Lignet Rosset fits the 2011 colour palette of bright,
bold colours and will bring any city living space to life. It screams "fun" and "comfort" combined.

2001 Bush's Orwellian Address Happy New Year: It's 1984
by Jacob Levich
Seventeen years later than expected, 1984 has arrived.
In his address to Congress Thursday, George Bush effectively declared
permanent war --
war without temporal or geographic limits; war without clear goals;
war against a vaguely defined and constantly shifting enemy.
Today it's Al-Qaida; tomorrow it may be Afghanistan; next year, it
could be Iraq or Cuba or Chechnya.
No one who was forced to read 1984 in high school could fail to hear a
faint bell tinkling. In George Orwell's dreary classic, the totalitarian
state of Oceania is perpetually at war with either Eurasia or Eastasia.
Although the enemy changes periodically, the war is permanent; its true
purpose is to control dissent and sustain dictatorship by nurturing popular
fear and hatred.
The permanent war undergirds every aspect of Big Brother's authoritarian
program,excusing censorship, propaganda,Secret police, (Hunger & ) and privation.
In other words, it's terribly convenient.
And conveniently terrible. Bush's alarming speech pointed to a shadowy enemy
that lurks in more 60 countries, including the US.
He announced a policy of using maximum force against any individuals or nations
he designates as our enemies, without color of international law, due process,
or democratic debate.
He explicitly warned that much of the war will be conducted insecret.
He rejected negotiation as a tool of diplomacy. He announced starkly that any
country that doesn't knuckle under to US demands will be regarded as an enemy.
He heralded the creation of a powerful new cabinet-level police agency called
the "Office of Homeland Security." Orwell couldn't have named it better.
By turns folksy ("Ya know what?") and chillingly bellicose ("Either you are
with us, or you are with the terrorists"), Bush stepped comfortably into the
role of Big Brother, who needs to be loved as well as feared.Meanwhile, his
administration acted swiftly to realize the governing principles of Oceania:
(Pacific-Atlantica )
WAR IS PEACE. A reckless war that will likely bring about a deadly cycle of
retaliation is being sold to us as the means to guarantee our safety. Meanwhile,
we've been instructed to accept the permanent war as
a fact of daily life As the inevitable slaughter of innocents unfolds overseas,
we are to "live our lives and hug our children."
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY. "Freedom itself is under attack," Bush said, and he's right.
Americans are about to lose many of their most cherished liberties in a frenzy
of paranoid legislation. The government proposes to tap our phones, read our
email and seize our credit card records without court order. It seeks authority
to detain and deport immigrants without cause or trial. It proposes to use
foreign agents to spy on American citizens. To save freedom, the warmongers
intend to destroy it.
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH. America's "new war" against terrorism will be fought
with unprecedented secrecy, including heavy press restrictions not seen for
years, the Pentagon has advised. Meanwhile, the sorry history of American
imperialism -- collaboration with terrorists, bloody proxy wars against
civilians, forcible replacement of democratic governments with corrupt
dictatorships -- is strictly off-limits to mainstream media.
Lest it weaken our resolve, we are not to be allowed to understand the reasons
underlying the horrifying crimes of September 11.
The defining speech of Bush's presidency points toward an Orwellian future of
endless war, expedient lies, and ubiquitous social control.
But unlike 1984's doomed protagonist, we've still got plenty of space to maneuver
and plenty of ways to resist this is a Election Year!
It's time to speak and to act. It falls on us now to take to the streets,
bearing a clear message for the warmongers: We don'tlove Big Brother.
