Product description
"Geography and Plays" is a collection of Gertrude Stein's writing from 1910 to 1920. Originally published in 1922 with an introduction by Sherwood Anderson, it has been virtually inaccessible for many years. This new paperback edition aims to make it possible for students and other devotees of Stein to see the developing strategies of one of the acknowledged giants of literary modernism, whose pathbreaking departures in literary style have recently been assigned still greater importance in the light of new theories about women's writing. A new introduction by Cyrena N. Pondrom provides contemporary readers with guidance on the importance of Stein's achievement in this early work.

Toklas," and dozens of other novels, plays, poems, and stories. Cyrena N. Pondrom is professor of English and director of the Women s Studies Research Center at the University of Wisconsin Madison."
Review quote
Here is one artist who has been able to accept ridicule, who has even foregone the privilege of writing the Great American Novel, uplifting our English-speaking stage and wearing the bays of the great poets, to go live among the little housekeeping words, the swaggering bullying street-corner words, and all the other forgotten and neglected citizens of the sacred and half-forgotten city. Sherwood Anderson, from the introduction to the 1922 edition"
Back cover copy
This book offers readers a fascinating view of the range of Gertrude Stein's styles and her radical manipulation of genres during the most fertile and prolific years of her avant-garde experiments--1908 to 1920.

GAINESVILLE — Investigators have announced a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of a Gainesville teenager's killer.
Sixteen-year-old Hannah Truelove's body was found in the woods behind her apartment complex near the shore of Lake Lanier on Aug. 24. Authorities said she had been stabbed multiple times.
The Times of Gainesville reports that Gov. Nathan Deal signed an executive order authorizing a $1,000 reward for information.
Hall County sheriff's Sgt. Stephen Wilbanks tells The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that investigators are looking for a late 1990s to early 2000s four-door passenger car, possibly a Chevrolet or Dodge. He said the vehicle -- believed to be light silver with substantial front-end damage -- may have been in the area during the evening hours of Aug. 23.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
17 Nov 2011 17:46 GMT | Sport, Cricket, Australia, South Africa
Jacques Kallis became the fourth leading run-scorer in Tests as he passed 12,000 runs but South Africa ruined the party by being bowled out for 266 on the first day of the second Test against Australia on Thursday. Kallis played with tremendous authority and a sumptuous cover drive sent his first ball, bowled by Watson, racing to the boundary and drew him level with West Indian left-hander Brian Lara on 11,953 runs. He then took a single off his third delivery to surpass Lara, leaving only Indians Sachin Tendulkar (15,086 in 183Tests) and Rahul Dravid (12,979 in 159 Tests) and Australia's Ricky Ponting (12,495 in 155 Tests) ahead of him on the run-scorers' list. South Africa were in a strong position thanks to half-centuries by Kallis (54), AB de Villiers (64) and Ashwell Prince (50), but they lost their way after tea as Australia took six wickets for 25 runs in 11 overs. The home side were all out in 71 overs, having won the toss and chosen to bat at the Wanderers. Paceman Peter Siddle claimed three for 69, while spinners Nathan Lyon and Michael Clarke took two wickets apiece as South Africa let a weakened Australian attack off the hook in perfect batting conditions. The visitors were a man down for most of the day after seamer Shane Watson limped off with a hamstring strain afterbowling just 3.5 overs. Loose strokeplaySouth Africa had the bowlers at their mercy as Kallis and Hashim Amla (19) added 80 runs off just 85 balls for the third wicket and their collapse was down to loose strokeplay more than anything else. Kallis lashed his 54 off just 41 balls before casually flicking Siddle to midwicket. Amla fell three overs later, edging a slash off debutant Pat Cummins to second slip, before De Villiers and Prince combined to put South Africa back in control with a fifth-wicket stand of 112. The left-handed Prince began the final-session collapse when he shimmied down the pitch and drove off-spinner Lyon to deep mid-on.
De Villiers fell five balls later as a loose pull shot skied the ball over bowler Siddle's head, Cummins doing well to runbackwards and hang on to the half-chance.
Vernon Philander was trapped plumb in front of the stumps by Lyon for a duck and Mark Boucher (3) also fell to anunconvincing pull shot off Siddle. The floodlights came on and bad light would almost certainly have intervened if Australian captain Clarke had not turned to the slow bowlers. Clarke himself took the last two wickets - Morne Morkel for six and Imran Tahir for a duck - to claim impressive figures oftwo for six in four overs. South Africa captain Graeme Smith had earlier won what seemed a valuable toss and he and opening partner JacquesRudolph put on a first-wicket stand of 24. Smith (11) then edged a top-class delivery from left-arm paceman Mitchell Johnson to Clarke at second slip, while Rudolph scored a bright 30 before he edged a catch off Watson to wicketkeeper Brad Haddin. South Africa were unable to bowl a single delivery at the Australians as bad light prevented the visitors from startingtheir innings before the close.

Sharp as a diamond, and a diva forever
The Monday Interview: Deborah Ross talks to SHIRLEY BASSEY
Deborah Ross
Deborah Ross writes the "If you ask me..." column for i. She also writes for The Daily Mail.
Monday 15 September 1997
Shirley, could you ever see yourself packing it in? "Never!", she cries. "I would wither away. It's what keeps me alive. It's what keeps me young." Shirley Bassey's now 60. And a granny, to boot. But somehow it doesn't matter that Shirley's 60 and a granny and still getting up there in those spangly, glamourpuss frocks with the slits up the side and, often, the necklines so low a good part of her bosom's hanging out. There is nothing even vaguely grotesque or ghoulish or pathetic about it. It's a good bosom. It's Shirley. She loves doing it and we love to have her do it. She believes in it so we believe in it. She may, now I think about it, be one of the last of The Great Stars. "Oh, do you think so?" she says, immensely pleased, and liking me a lot instantly, which makes something of a nice change. "Today's so-called stars, they don't know how to do it, do they? They have one hit record and the world hails them as a star but they dress like tramps - like tramps! - and they don't know how to relate to audiences or anything." Whereas you, I tell her, sing as if you really mean it. "I do! I do!" she cries excitedly. I am saying all the right things, obviously. I think she may even be a bit in love with me by now. We meet at a hotel in London where she drives up in a chauffeur driven Daimler which doesn't have a "VIP" sticker in the windscreen because it has a "VVIP' one. She is wearing, today, an Yves St Laurent jacket splashed with multi-coloured hearts and a Donny Osmond-style cap. Her fingers glitter with diamonds which don't so much cluster on her rings as gather into mountainous heaps. You would never find Shirley banging on about glamour being a trifling, inconsequential thing. Shirley believes absolutely in things that sparkle and glitter. She can clearly remember her first great dress, which she bought when she was 15 or so and was working in a Cardiff enamelware factory. "It was tartan, with a big skirt that rustled. I wore it to the factory dance and was in heaven." There is something so old fashioned about Shirley she's almost noble.
Some people think Shirley's had quite a tragic life, all told, and in many ways she has. Marriages have failed. Children have suffered. (Samantha, her middle child, was found dead at the foot of Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol in 1985 at the age of 21.) She's had her run-ins with drink, was even arrested for being drunk and disorderly once. She was a good friend of Dodi Al Fayed. "I couldn't believe it. I still can't believe it," she moans.
There's been a great deal of pain in her life, to be sure, but for someone like Shirley, it doesn't necessarily mean it's been a bad life. It may even have been a good life because it's been a star's life, and that's all she's ever wanted to be ever since one of her older sister's took her to a Billy Eckstein concert when she was very small and she saw the audience `go ape' over him. Anyway, you don't get to be a true star - get to be a Judy Garland or an Elizabeth Taylor, say - unless, it seems to me, you suffer pain then get up there and do your stuff and show everyone how you can survive it. If you don't have the pain, then you're just the Nolan Sisters. Possibly, there was no way Shirley was ever not going to have a tragic life. But now. Is there some happiness now? Yes, she says, she thinks there may be. These days she lives alone in Monte Carlo and rather likes it. Previously, she's always had lovers or husbands or both on the go and it's quite nice, she says, being on her own for a change. "I have no one to worry about apart from myself. I can eat what I want, go where I want, do what I want." She has never had much luck on the man front. Everything's always ended in tears or, in the case of her first husband, suicide. She says, now, "sometimes I hate love because it is so heartbreaking and destructive". Of course, it doesn't have to be, but you can see why it is with her.
She says she likes her men to be "real men". She went, last night, to see Mel Gibson in Conspiracy Theory but hated it - "I dozed off, to tell you the truth" - because Mel's character was very wet and you don't go to the movies to see Mel being wet, do you? "You go to see him being whooar!'' she says. "I hate wet men. Hate men who dither. Hate wimps. Rhett Butler. Now he's my kind of man." So you want to be carried off to the bedroom in a like-it-or not sort of way? "Yes! Yes!" But then, later, she says she can't stand men who want to make decisions on her behalf. I think, as a woman, Shirley might be quite difficult to please.
Certainly, she is still very good-looking. And sexy, yes, although she isn't sexy in a feminine way. By this, I don't mean she is butch, just that there is nothing fragile or dainty or tender about her. She is all strong mouth, strong bones, strong body. She is sexy in a tough yet triumphant way. Gay men are mad for her, as are straight ones. My dad's been crazy about her for years. But dad, I say, she's a 60-year-old Welsh granny. "So," he says, "she still looks as if she'd be dangerous in bed." Yes, well, that's quite enough from you, father.
Shirley Veronica Bassey was the youngest of seven children born to Eliza, a Yorkshirewoman, and Henry Bassey, a Nigerian seaman who left home when Shirley was two and was never seen again. No. Shirley's never been tempted to track him down or find out more. "I never even asked my mother about him. I didn't want to carry that baggage through my life. I just let it go." She doesn't seem to have a very inquiring mind, or be a deep thinker. No, she doesn't read books. She tries sometimes, but can't concentrate sufficiently. "I can never get to the end. I've been trying to read Liz Taylor's life story. It's fascinating. But I know I'll never finish it."
She doesn't know if her mother was ever happy or not because she never asked her. OK then, what was she like? "She was quite Victorian in many ways. She was a quiet, Northern woman with beautiful, very white skin who didn't give much away about herself and was a great cook. I remember her egg and bacon tarts. And her Yorkshire puddings. We also had a lot of offal because offal was cheap, but I hated that."
Shirley grew up in Tiger Bay, the docklands area of Cardiff before moving to Splott, an all-white area of Cardiff, when she was three and her mother remarried. I wonder, naturally, what it was like growing up as mixed race child in 1940s Britain, but she says if there was any racism, she never saw it. Possibly, she says, this was because everyone knew that if you called the Bassey children names "you'd get a punch in the nose." Tough as old boots, as I said. As the youngest of so many children, Shirley never got a lot of time from anybody. She got under her mother's feet. Her older sisters were always scolding her for putting her dirty hands on their dresses or messing with their lipsticks. No, she never felt unwanted, but did feel "awkward and in the way".
Then, one evening, one of the sisters took Shirley to a Billy Eckstein concert at Cardiff's New Theatre. She doesn't know why this sister picked her out, but reckons "it must have been fate". She remembers not so much the concert, but going to the stage door afterwards with her sister and all the other autograph hunters and seeing Billy come out "and everyone going mad". As someone who had never been given much attention, this impressed her deeply. "I had never been interested in show business until that point. And then, a few days later, my brother came home with a Judy Garland record - Somewhere Over The Rainbow, I think - and that was it." I tell her she may be the nearest thing to Judy Garland still going. She is very pleased. "You know, that's one of the most wonderful things anyone's ever said to me," she sighs happily. We may be getting married shortly. Shirley left school at 14 for the enamelware factory where it was her job to pack pots in brown paper for export. She loved it, actually. "The social life was very good. There was a club. I became quite good at archery. I had high-heels and lipstick." And boys? "There were quite a few, yes. Men have always liked me. When I was quite young, married men would be after me. I remember, once, me and my mother were walking down the road when this married man came out of a pub and said to my mother `I love your daughter.' My mother said: `Go away. Leave her alone.' I was so ashamed. `But mum, I love him,' I kept crying." She has always fallen in love quite easily, she says. She always had a good voice, was always being asked to sing at family weddings, and while at the factory she sang in working men's clubs in the evenings. She made her West End debut in a British revue called Hot From Harlem and had her first hit record with something very colonial called `The Banana Boat Song'. She was a star by the time she was 20. And being a star was even better than working in the factory. And much better, as it turned out, than being married.
She's been married twice. First there was Kenneth Hume, a B-movie director who committed suicide after their divorce, and then there was Sergio Novak, an Italian producer. Both eventually became her managers, at her request, probably because she wanted to be controlled by them. But, of course, as the person bringing the money in, she was really the one in control. "I've always been the breadwinner and men don't like that. They turn on you. They bite the hand that feeds them. Eventually, too, they become very jealous of the love one has with an audience.''
She's had three children, Sharon, Samantha and Mark. Sharon was born when Shirley was 17 and unmarried. She was raised by one of Shirley's sisters until she was seven. ("At 17, what could I have offered her?") Samantha threw herself from a bridge. Mark took drugs. She has castigated herself in print many times for being a bad mother. She was never there. Her children would weep to see her suitcases lined up in the hall yet again. Her work came before everything. In 1972, she gave an interview in which she described her life like this: "My work is a cycle of world tours. After our Christmas holidays in the Italian Alps skiing with the children, I will go to Australia for three weeks, then to Japan for two TV shows and two concerts. In March, I've a concert tour of America and in May I return for a tour of Britain ..." Yes, of course she wishes she'd done things differently. But could she have? No, probably not. After Samantha died, she did try to retire. But a year later she was back. She couldn't hack it. She needs to perform. She needs audiences and applause. She loved her children, but probably not enough, because she's always loved being "a Star" first. This is sad in some ways, I guess, but, then again, it does make her Shirley Bassey, the woman who can still pack them in like no one else of her generation and who sings as if her life depends on it. Because it does.
Shirley's latest album, `The Birthday Concert', is released today. A live recording of the concert she gave in July to celebrate her 60th birthday, it's out on Artful Records and costs pounds 12.99 for the CD and pounds 8.99 for the cassette.

Hydrex divers are able to keep ships out of drydock with a wide range of repair & maintenance work on all tyrpes of thrusters.
Hydrex say they can assist shipowners with almost any problem they encounter with their vessel's thrusters. A wide range of repair or maintenance work can be carried out to all types of thrusters. An entire unit can be overhauled, propeller blades or seals can be replaced or repair work on a specific part of a thruster can be performed fast by Hydrex diver/technicians on site. All of these repairs can be carried out without the need to drydock the vessel.
Hydrex was the first company to show that it was possible to remove and then replace thrusters fast by creating a dry environment underwater. Using the Hydrex-developed steel mobdocks to seal off the thruster tunnel, with an access shaft protruding above the water, work teams accessed the thruster tunnel and removed or repaired the thruster within the tunnel in complete safety. This was done in conditions similar to those above water.
The compamy has since then developed this technology further using lightweight flexible mobdocks. These modernized mobdocks, which are designed to be easily transported around the world, are used to close off the thruster tunnel on both sides. This allows divers to work in a dry environment around the unit.
Hydrex has also developed a permanent thruster repair and replacement system for offshore related vessels and units. This system has been developed so it can be tailored to most vessels. It can be included in the planning for a newbuild, installed on a unit going to drydock or constructed and brought onboard at any other suitable time. With such a system on standby any repair work to the thruster that may arise can be dealt with much faster and more easily.
There is no need to send the vessel to drydock as all operations can be carried out in port or while the vessel is stationary at sea. Normal commercial activities can therefore continue without disruption.

Cost of D97 an investment
Opinion: Letters To The Editor
Jack Crowe misses the point in his recent comments about the upcoming District 97 referendum ("Cut costs before passing a referendum at D97"), March 16, 2011 Wednesday Journal).
As a third generation Oak Parker, Mr. Crowe should appreciate how Oak Park benefits from having what he admits are the "excellent theatre programs" of BRAVO and CAST. He should know they provide a unique opportunity for kids to develop confidence in themselves and camaraderie with their fellow class mates. The combination of teamwork, dedication, art and sheer fun these programs provide should not be so easily dismissed. Their presence makes Oak Park a special place. Their loss should concern Oak Park parents and all Oak Parkers. Budgets and taxes are important, but funding these programs must take priority.
But to address his points:
Teacher compensation: He says they get paid too much. I say you get what you pay for. I think it's safe to say most Oak Parkers agree District 97 provides at least above average schools and teachers. Good schools are the reason people come here and stay here. Also, there's a national debate ongoing about elevating the qualifications (and salaries) of teachers to help improve education in troubled school districts. We are fortunate Oak Park schools are not so "troubled". They could be improved, like any other school district, but today they do a pretty good job of educating our kids. If you want to reduce your tax bill, move to a school district that pays less, and gets less in return.
Real estate tax bill: Crowe mentions they have doubled over the last 20 years and admits it's due to rising real estate values. But then he seems to put the blame on the schools. Huh? District 97 tax rate has not changed since 1989.
Your tax bill rose because home values rose. Period.
Structural problems: Crowe cites automatic salary increases, health care and pensions that drive up costs. Again, are the schools perfect? No, but as a matter of fact, the district has shown due diligence by cutting its budget steadily for the last nine years. Can more changes be made and costs be brought down? Sure.
So here is the point: vote to keep District 97 fully funded, so it can continue to do great things for all of Oak Park.
Vote Yes on April 5th!

Michael: Unfortunately, there are a number of school districts that deliver better academic performance for less tax burden. So, when you flippantly say "move to a school district that pays less..." it shows that you haven't done your homework. So, despite "cutting its budget steadily for the past 9 years", it's still an inefficient system. To keep funding this "above average" system is fine, but why not strive for actual greatness? Doesn't OP deserve it? Don't our children deserve more?

Father of Lone Terrorist Threatens To Unleash Hell On USA If Son Is Touched
"If they killed him, then all hell would break loose."
That's what Anzor Tsarnaev, the father of Boston bomber Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, told ABC news.
In another conversation with the Associated Press, Anzor Tsarnaev added that his son is a "true angel."
Yeah Anzor, not so much.
While you can't help but sympathize with any parent who finds out that his child has gone this far wrong, the reality is that his son murdered people and crippled others for life. There are other people who lost children, too. There are sons whose fathers will be crippled for life. There are mothers whose daughters are missing legs. There are parents who will never see their sons again because Anzor Tsarnaev's son killed them.
Yet, he's claiming that "all hell would break loose" if something happened to his son.
Well… sorry, buddy, you're a little too late on that front. Maybe if your son hadn't grown up around someone who had that kind of mentality, none of us would be in this position today.
