Adele, Grace & Celine.Adele, Grace & Celine. The Other Women of Jane Eyre(1) explores these three women tangential to the story of Jane and Rochester. Three female characters which Charlotte Brontë uses as little more than archetypes and hardly develops. Adèle is probably the only one that evolves from the stereotype of the young French girl eager for glamour and obsessed with her toilette but affectionate and easily pliable to a docile, good-tempered, and well-principled English young lady. Charlotte Brontë, nevertheless, hides from us this evolution and attributes it to a sound English education correcting her French deffects. Grace Poole is presented as a character with virtually no past and no future who is only there to provide the adequate dose of Gothic epitomising mystery and the hiding of a terrible secret(2). Finally, Céline Varens is only used as the background to Rochester's immoral past when he was entangled with, of all women, a French opera-girl. An immoral, unprincipled, foreign woman, just one step above from prostitution.
The Other Women of Jane Eyre.
by Claire Moïse
322 pages.
Claire Moïse's intention is to provide a background for these characters within the framework created by Charlotte Brontë in her novel. To explore their motivations and satisfactorily explain their personal evolutions. The novel revolves around Adèle's life and covers a long span of time. From the events of the original Jane Eyre novel until the First World War. But we are not dealing with an epic novel because the main action is concentrated on a brief period of time when Adèle and her husband move into their farm house and she fights hard to combine her personal aspirations with life as Lady Gresham, wife of a baronet. Both the windows to the past and the future are open through the bunch of letters that Adèle discovers that Grace Poole and her mother, Céline Varens, were exchanging unnoticed by all.
And this epistolary exchange constitutes the most interesting part of this novel. Because the author makes a considerable effort in order to preserve the Grace's popular, vulgar English with Céline's bad English. This gives authenticity and transpires truth. Not only for things said but for many of the things that are left unsaid or are just hinted at. It's the author's merit that we reconcile and sympathise with Grace and that Céline's motivations, not being entirely unobjectionable, are understandable.
Adèle's story, being the main framework of the novel, is regrettably less interesting. It is unquestionable that the author has carried out a lot of research and presents Adèle's experiences perfectly contextualised within the socioeconomical, cultural and scientific background. And, though it is hard to imagine the Adèle that we know from the pages of Jane Eyre becoming a woman interested in the scientific discoveries of her time (Darwin's evolution theory, for instance) or adventurous enough to become a nurse at the Crimea war, it is not altogether impossible to see her in those roles. A good sound English education can work miracles, Jane would say(3). The problem with the whole Adèle segment in Drayton Abbey is that it is beautifully described but too plain and uneventful. Interesting elements as the presence of Lisette, Adèle's ward, who seems to be an impossible cross between a young Adèle and the young Jane Eyre, are briefly explored and later abandoned.
For the Brontëites around there is plenty to enjoy: Rochester and Jane make occasional apperances in the narrative. They are well characterised and, particularly Jane, very well delineated. The Brocklehurst family also appears and, with one exception, it seems that the sins of the grandfather (the infamous Mr. Brocklehurst of Lowood School) are not going to be repeated. There is a very funny sequence involving Rochester scandalised by Adèle reading that immoral book Wuthering Heights. The nice detail of naming two of Rochester and Jane's children Helen (after Helen Burns) and Maria (after Maria Brontë?)... and so on(4).
This reviewer enjoyed the time spent with the Greshams. It was nice to be received into their home, sit in their drawing room and listen to the latest gossip in the county while sipping our afternoon tea while peeping into their daily lives. Not really so thrilling as a stay in Thornfield Hall but well worth a visit. I will call again.
(1) Why Adele or Celine are consistently not written as Adèle or Céline is difficult to understand. It may be understandable in Adèle's case as she grows up as an English woman and becomes a perfect English lady, but Céline Varens's is harder to accept.
(2) Nevertheless, Charlotte Brontë gives Grace Poole an intriguing, creepy statement because of the timing with which it is delivered:
(...)but I always think it best to err on the safe side; a door is soon fastened, and it is as well to have a drawn bolt between one and any mischief that may be about. A deal of people, Miss, are for trusting all to Providence; but I say Providence will not dispense with the means, though He often blesses them when they are used discreetly. (Chapter XVI)(3) Fortunately this is not a novel along the line of Emma Tennant's Adèle. Jane Eyre's Hidden Story where the characters rather than subverted were perverted.
(4) However, there are several things that could be clearly improved. Grace Poole is presented as a lifelong friend of Rochester's (her father was gamekeeper at Rochester's father's estate). But Grace Poole according to the novel was hired from Grimbsy Retreat (apparently a mental institution) to take care of Bertha. Also according to Claire Moïse's narrative Grace Poole's marriage was short and she had no children. Charlotte Brontë nevertheless clearly wrote:
I'll give Mrs. Poole two hundred a year to live here with my wife, as you term that fearful hag: Grace will do much for money, and she shall have her son, the keeper at Grimsby Retreat, to bear her company and be at hand to give her aid in the paroxysms. (Chapter XXVII)Céline Varens, according to Rochester's narrative in Jane Eyre, left Paris for Italy following a musician or singer, leaving Adèle behind. Nevertheless, in the present novel the event is told differently. Céline writes to Grace that she made Rochester believe that she had died so that he agreed to take care of Adèle. We wonder if Ms Moïse was not thinking of the musical adaptation of Jane Eyre by Gordon & Caird.

I have not heard of this one! Thank you for the review! I appreicate the notes at the bottom!ReplyDelete
If you are interested, we are hosting a "March Madness" style tournament of great novelists at http://logiosdolioseriounios.blogspot.com/ReplyDelete
Both Emily and Charlotte Bronte have advanced to the second round, with Emily matched up against Jane Austen, and Charlotte against Terry Pratchett.
So far, I actually enjoy the bits from Adèle's perspective more than the letters between Grace and Céline! :) Nice review!ReplyDelete

I am reading Moise's novel for a women's writers class at University of Delaware. The first line of the novel does great damage to Moise's credibility, stating that Adele was 84 years old in 1915. From my fact-checking, life expectancy for those born in the 1830's was around 40 years. Was she writing a fairy tale?ReplyDelete
I may have misunderstood your question but no, living to 84 in 1915 was no fairytale. It certainly wasn't as common as it is today, but it could and did happen. The low life expectancy was partly due to the high infant mortality rate.ReplyDelete
The father of the Brontës, Patrick, was born in 1777 and died in 1861, which makes him exactly 84, like Adèle in the novel. The Brontës' servant, Tabby Aykroyd died at 84 as well in 1855, only weeks before Charlotte Brontë herself.
Life expectancy at Haworth was 25, yet these people (as well as the adult Brontë siblings, even if they all died very young anyway) lived past that age.
- Tracy McQueen9/28/2010 07:42:00 pm
Thanks, Cristina, for this correction of my erroneous post. I misunderstood how those life expectancy statistics work, and I stand corrected. I'd be happy to have my post removed, if you see fit! Best, TracyReplyDelete

The U.S. economy is in the dumps.
Now, millions of are tax dollars are going to be spent by a bunch of politicians trying to make a name for themselves on the word of a cheater, a doper, perjured himself in court, took vast amounts of money from people who believed in him, and sold a book of nothing but lies. If our tax dollars are going to be spent investigating sports, how about starting with prosecuting Floyd Landis for perjury, and requiring him to return all the donations based on his lies. Then there's LeMond, who was visciously attacked by Landis in his court battle, now holding hands with Landis trying to bring Lance down. Both men are just sad memories of the past. Once they were both heroes to me, now they just seem like vengeful, sore losers. Regardless of the outcome of all this, it will damage American cycling, and it is apparent that neither Landis or LeMond care nothing for American cycling, just themselves. Lastly, Armstrong has NEVER failed a doping control. LeMond bases his claims of Lance doping on his performances during his 7 year reign on the Tour, while LeMond had similar performances at a time when there was much less testing, so who's to say he didn't dope as well. Spend my tax dollars on stimulating this economy and getting the enormous amount of people who lost their jobs back to work, and let cycling's governing body deal with their rules and regulations, that's their job, not the U.S. governments. This all smells of a "witch hunt" as Lance warned, with Floyd Landis, the least credible cyclist in history identifying the witches. We also can't forget this isn't just about Lance.
Landis accused practically all of America's greatest cyclist, including George Hincapie of doping, but you don't hear LeMond tooting that horn because George wasn't more successful in the Tour than LeMond. It's Lance's name that makes the headlines, but this investigation encompasses all who road for U.S. Postal. What a prudent use of our tax dollars during the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Just another example of what a wonderful job our government is doing to restore our economy.

Legal Nurse Consultants
Nursing specialties will be in great demand in the future. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) reports that employment for registered nurses (RNs) is expected to grow faster than the average for all careers through 2022. Opportunities for legal nurse consultants will be good, but not as strong since the profession is small and many people want to enter the field. The DOL reports that employment for RNs who work in the legal services industry will grow by about 10 percent through 2022 (or about as fast as the average for all occupations). As long as there is litigation involving medical issues, one can expect this specialty nursing field to continue to grow.

It is with a heavy heart that I comment on the passing of Ronnie Montrose who left us too soon on Saturday 3/3/12.
Ronnie Montrose was a genius on the fret board and a major influence to thousands if not millions of guitarists throughout his 4 decade career including myself. From Edgar Winter to Van Morrison to his self titled band "Montrose" which included a very young +Sammy Hagar to Gamma as well as several solo albums Ronnie always broke the barriers of what could be done on the guitar.
I'm kicking myself now because I had the chance to see him at a small club in Chicago in October but wasn't able to make the show.
He was also a great guy personally. The attached photo is one that I received from him back in 1989. I had written him a letter (remember when we did that) expressing how much I enjoyed his current album "The Speed of Sound."
At the time I thought that he'd receive it and toss it aside. But to my surprise, he did read it and sent me this autographed pic and two tickets to a show he was gonna play at the now defunct Biddy Mulligan's in Chicago that summer. It was an awesome show full of energy and virtuosity and one that I will always remember.
Ronnie had been battling prostate cancer for the past few years and even though he thought he had beat it, apparently the big "C" had other intentions.
You will be missed Ronnie! R.I.P.
RIP Davy...

microRNA profiles in familial and sporadic medullary thyroid carcinoma: preliminary relationships with RET status and outcome
Università di Padova, Operative Unit of Endocrinology, Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, Via Ospedale 105, Padova, Italy, 35100, 00390498214266Thyroid: official journal of the American Thyroid Association (Impact Factor: 4.49). 05/2012; DOI: 10.1089/thy.2012-0045
Source: PubMed
Background: microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in the pathogenesis of human cancers, including medullary thyroid carcinomas (MTC). The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that different miRNA profiles are related to RET status and prognosis in hereditary (hMTC) and sporadic (sMTC) MTC patients. Methods: We analyzed the expression of nine miRNAs (miR-21, miR-127, miR-154, miR-224, miR-323, miR-370, miR-9*, miR-183, and miR-375) by quantitative RT-PCR in 34 cases of sMTC, 6 cases of hMTC and 2 cases of C-cell hyperplasia (CCH). We also analyzed the immunohistochemical expression of PDCD4, a miR-21 gene target. sMTC (n=34) were genotyped for somatic RET and RAS mutations. Disease status was defined on the basis of the concentration of serum calcitonin at the latest follow-up and other parameters as indicated in the results. Results: MTC and CCH were both characterized by a significant overexpression of the whole set of miRNAs (the increase being 4.2-fold for miR-21, 6.7-fold for miR-127, 8.8-fold for miR-154, 6.6-fold for miR-224, 5.8-fold for miR-323 and 6.1-fold for miR-370, 13-fold for miR-9*, 6.7-fold for miR-183 and 10.1 for miR-375, p<0.0001). PDCD4 expression was significantly down-regulated in MTC samples, consistent with miR-21 upregulation. Significantly lower miR-127 levels were observed in sMTC carrying somatic RET mutations in comparison to sMTC carrying a wild-type RET. In sporadic and familial MTC, the miR-224 upregulation correlated with the absence of node metastases, lower stages at diagnosis, and with biochemical cure during follow-up. Conclusions: miRNAs are significantly dysregulated in MTC, and this dysregulation is probably an early event in C-cell carcinogenesis. miR-224 upregulation could represent a prognostic biomarker associated with a better outcome in MTC patients.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as a class of powerful gene expression regulators. Acting at the post-transcriptional level, miRNAs modulate the expression of at least one-third of the mRNAs that are encoded by the human genome. The expression of a single gene can be regulated by several miRNAs, and every miRNA has more than one target gene. Thus, the miRNA regulatory circuit, which affects essential cellular functions, is of enormous complexity. Moreover, a fundamental role for miRNAs has been determined in the onset and progression of human cancers. Here, we summarize the main alterations in miRNA expression that have been identified in thyroid neoplasias and examine the mechanisms through which miRNA deregulation might promote thyroid cell transformation. We also discuss how the emerging knowledge on miRNA deregulation could be harnessed for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid neoplasias.

ABSTRACT: Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) accounts for only 5% to 10% of all thyroid carcinomas, but it is the most aggressive form of well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma, being responsible for 8% to 15% of all thyroid cancer-related deaths. MTC is frequently diagnosed at a locally advanced or metastatic stage, and 10-year survival rates in these cases are <20%. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the thyroid gland is an accurate method to diagnose MTC, having a high sensitivity and specificity. The cytologic features of MTC are characteristic and the cytologic diagnosis of classic MTC is often straightforward, especially when combined with immunocytochemistry. However, because of its morphologic heterogeneity and overlap with other tumors, the differential diagnosis of MTC on cytology and on histology is broad with several potential pitfalls. Significant advances have been made over the last decade in understanding MTC. This concerns mainly the early detection of MTC, especially in familial forms (eg, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2), and the identification of key molecular pathways and alterations which now offer promising targets for specific therapies in progressive MTC cases. Genetic testing (eg, RET mutation) has allowed for early detection in asymptomatic carriers and high-risk patients, with prophylactic thyroidectomy often being curative. Targeted therapies with multityrosine-kinase inhibitors (eg, vandetanib or cabozantinib) have emerged as promising new treatments for recurrent or metastatic MTC. In this review article, we discuss the cytologic features of MTC and its variants, its differential diagnosis, the role of ancillary studies, and the salient molecular features of MTC.

ABSTRACT: Our understanding of the molecular pathology of thyroid cancer has progressed significantly. It is now apparent that thyroid tumors show a very good correlation between genotype and phenotype, a correlation that is much stronger than that observed in tumors of many other organs. Activation of classic oncogenes (BRAF, RAS, RET) activate MAPK signalling. Other pathways like the PI3K/PTEN/AKT cascade are also active in many thyroid tumors. The analysis of molecular profiles is generating data that can be applied to improve patient management. The common occurrence of thyroid nodules in the general population and the widespread use of fine needle aspiration for the preoperative diagnosis of thyroid nodules creates an unprecedented opportunity to apply what we have learnt from the molecular alterations of thyroid cancer to the clinical arena.

This is so fantastic!!! It comes out fudgy and the icing is a little gooey! Wow! I already have another batch in the oven!
Sharlene, this was really good! I didn't have buttermilk, so subbed yogurt. I also left out the pecans because my husband won't eat nuts. The icing soaked into the cake and made it nice and dense and moist! Yummy!
Yummy -- great and easy to make but after making one that burned after baking 400 for 18 minutes I cut the temperature back to 350 and it was perfect.
This was an excellent recipe. I have another recipe that I use that is very similar that requires sour cream. I was out of sour cream so I was searching for a different recipe such as this one that used the milk. I used the powdered buttermilk and it did the same thing. I was also outof pecans, but they were not necessary. This cake was very moist and delicious. thanks for the recipe.
I have made and eaten variations of this recipe for years, but this one is THE BEST! It was absolutely delicious! With clear instructions and an accurate pan size, it's a winner! I took Aquap's advice and baked it in my electric oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes and it was perfect! I lined (and greased) the pan with the large size parchment sheets that I get from King Arthur. This is the ONLY Texas Sheet Cake I will make from now on out! Thanks Sharlene!!
ABSOLUTELY YUMMY!!!!!!! And very easy......I take this to potlucks all the time and am always asked for the recipe!!!! Deborah Pfeiler

The LRAD Mobile Mass Notification System
LRAD has debuted a new mobile PA system that boasts the ability to blast intelligible audio over a 2-square-mile area.
The new Mobile Mass Notification System, which LRAD described as a "long range acoustic hailing device," consists of a ruggedized trailer sporting a folding and telescoping mast that can lift the system's speakers to a height of 30 feet. The acoustic array can broadcast in a 360-degree ring with a radius of about 0.8 miles when configured with the four-emitter LRAD-360-4. That provides a coverage area of 2.01 square miles.
Other features include:
Pricing has not been publicly announced. Further details can be found on LRAD's site.

Derpy plush, 2 of 3 ponies for an online commission. She's made of minky with embroidered eyes and cutie marks and her mouth is thread sculpted. Her wings have wire in them and are posable like all my pegasus ponies. Her mouth has a magnet in it to hold on to her muffin, which is made of minky and felt. She is about 10 1/2 inches tall.
I am currently taking commissions for BronyCon in Baltimore, Maryland in August. Please see my current journal for details.

great job on best background pony!
do you happen to know where the particular base for this design is?
Base? I just used reference pictures of Derpy and made my own mane/tail patterns and embroidery files.
i will die if I don't get it
oh my god! this is so cute. best plushie ever.
OH I WANT!!!!! lol
waa so cute xD
I love it! I love Derpy and this plushie is so adorable.
It 's probably just me but I can't help but think that the yellow used for the eyes is a little too much of a saturated yellow. but my OCD aside, She looks great! I especially like how your wings turn out.
Really? I didn't think it was dark enough haha. Thank you!
I think the eye color is at a point where it's wasn't light enough or dark enough to match the upper or lower color of the eye in the character model and that's what's bugging me
very cute QwQ amazing job
She's amazing!
Awesome plushie!
Awesome plushie!
That is so adorable! I love the magnetic muffin idea

After much debate and reviewing over 800 entries for the Jerry's Artarama 2014 Empowering a Young Artist Financial Scholarship, we have finally picked our winner and runner ups. There were many great entries but there could only be one grand prize winner. Presented here, for the first time, here is the Grand Prize Winner AND Runner Ups. More information can be found on our Scholarship Page.
"I'm a full time airline agent working for USAirways. I primarily spend the vast majority of my time traveling the country helping out stations with our recent merger with American Airlines.
I'm also earning a master's degree at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Though I work full time, I still manage to find time to write and create in my hotel rooms and airport break rooms. I'm always creating. It is my goal to move to reverse my current trend and allow art to be my full time job.
I generally create large scale paintings and drawings. Everywhere I travel, I go with a 9' PVC pipe that stores the rolls of paper I need to work on. From there, I manage to create 6' to 20' creations on floors and kitchen tables. Eventually, I would like to get to a point where I can afford a studio to create rather than hotel rooms."
John will also receive $500 in art supplies from JerrysArtarama.com.
Each runner up receives a $100 prize to put toward their education and a $15 eGift Card from Jerry's Artarama. Click the images below to expand.

Congrats to all of our winners. Thanks to our sponsors. With the success of this year's contest, we will be offering another scholarship in 2015!
Here at The Splatter, we try to be as helpful as we can when it comes to teaching you more about art. So, in the spirit of keeping things simple, here are a list of terms for beginner watercolor painters to learn more abut the techniques every watercolor painter should know:
Wash- A large body of the paper that is covered in water or pigment to create an even background color or effect.
Flat Wash- A wash that is one solid color that takes up the entire page.
Graded Wash- A wash that gets lighter with every stroke, as the painting progresses, each stroke becomes lighter than the last.
Backlighting- Washing the background with lighter colors so the source of light is behind the subject.
Masking- The process of using a liquid latex to protect a part of your painting so that you can paint over it without disturbing or affecting the paint below.
Mud- Occurs when a still wet wash is met with more paint before it has had time to dry forming a rough, dull looking area.
Pre-Wet- When you wet the paper with clear water before you paint so that that the water will take the paint from the tip of the brush instead of having to fully lay down the paint.
Broken Edge- a technique where the side of a brush is speedily dragged over the surface of the paper to leave a broken edge of painted and unpainted areas of a wash.
Alcohol Texture- Alcohol and water don't mix so when alcohol is sprinkled into watercolor paint, it forms a unique texture.
Splattering- An easy technique to spread out and "splatter" drops of paint over your watercolor paper. The effect is achieved by putting paint on your brush and then pulling the bristles back with your thumb so that when released the bristles catapult the paint onto the paper.
Although many schools cut arts first in their search to slash budgets because of the expense of art supplies (the answer is that they aren't shopping at Jerry's where all the deals are), recent studies have shown that exposure to art can help students grow academically. So in response to cutting art class budgets, many teachers are integrating art into other subjects to help students learn. Not only have they found that teaching with art helps students raise their academic grades, but it can also boost self-confidence, creativity and school spirit.
So far, art integration has been showing positive results in schools because it taps into both left side and right side hemispheres of the brain while forming different interests and abilities all in the process of learning.
What does this art look like in, say a geometry lesson? One 4th grade geometry lesson had students examine the art of Russian artist Wassily Kandisky and imitate his paintings and extensive use of angles in their own artwork. Students used paint to make their art, then had to measure the angles used in both works of art and identify the types of angles used.
One student remade Van Gogh's Starry Night with her biology notes.
"If you pick a subject area like science, social studies, math or literacy and you integrate it with an art form, what you do is connect the two and find ways to really integrate the two so they lean on each other," says teacher Judy Klima of the Integrated Arts Academy of Burlington, Vermont. "When you engage hands-on and you are creating your own learning, you are deepening your level of understanding about a specific topic."
Other examples of integrating the arts into other areas of learning include biology lessons where students drew realistic drawings based on the patterns found on leaf's edges to learn about both the scientific qualities of leaves and the difference between realistic and abstract art. Other students performed dramatic skits based on what they had learned about the Revolutionary War.
Although many schools don't have the commitment of integrating art into other lessons like the Integrated Arts Academy, many individual teachers across the country are making it their mission to mix art in with other studies such as math, science, history and literature. The goal is for students to collaborate and be able to use their minds to creatively explore the process of learning and growing into more well-rounded people who can think outside of the box.
And while art itself is still getting cut as a necessary class from many curriculums, we hope that the trend of art integration and innovative and creative teachers is one that continues to rise.

No, it's not really about the drinks. You've had those before. And it's not really about the décor, which is clean and fine but not spectacular. It's also not about the specials, because there aren't really official hours for happiness here. It's about the only reason people seek out happy hours to begin with: the scene. What? On Miracle Mile in the stuffy Gables, you might sneer? Yup. There's a new dawn in that part of town and it's raising a toast at the new Houston's after work. Good mix of cocktails, ages, ethnicities, sexes, economic positions. The men and women behind the bar are friendly, as are the people sitting next to you. Starting late in the afternoon on Friday often you won't find a stool or even standing room, so the party spills out into the street. If you need further proof this isn't the Gables of old, consider: Once you've downed your after-work libations, you can move on to other attractions. Huh? Life after 8:00 p.m. in the City Beautiful? Yes, truly a new dawn.

Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!
- Studio: Miramax Films
- Release Date: May 4, 1990
- Starring: Antonio Banderas, Julieta Serrano, Loles León, María Barranco, Victoria Abril
- Summary: When a disturbed young man (Antonio Banderas) kidnaps and ties up a porn queen, a psychological power play ensues. As the woman is held captive, she becomes torn by her growing bond with her abductor.
- Director: Pedro Almodóvar
- Genre(s): Drama, Comedy, Romance, Crime
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 8 out of 14
Mixed: 4 out of 14
Negative: 2 out of 14
Almodovar's inventive direction, superb lensing by Jose Luis Alcaine, a fine score by Ennio Morricone and top technical credits make pic a pleasure to watch.
Almodovar consolidated his status as a challenging and bold filmmaker by forcing Americans to drop their zany preconceptions of him and see his world through his eyes.
Staying with Tie Me Up! demands some patience, but the director's timing never fails him, and he brings things to a close on an upbeat note.
Abril and Banderas are both terrific as the lovers-to-be... Almodóvar makes it easy to root for them to get together and balance each other out, but that means getting past the situation that brought them together in the first place, and the tension makes the movie queasy even when it's compelling.
Mr. Almodovar's comic invention runs out too soon, leaving the audience to giggle weakly in anticipation of the big laughs and disorienting shocks that never arrive.
An offensive premise and a pathetic, almost pleading desire to outrage our sensibilities with it.

The Preacher's Wife
Some movies are "why" movies. Such is The Preacher's Wife. Why would heaven send an angel to help a marriage, and then have the angel fall in love with the wife? Why would the poor preacher of an inner-city congregation have a wife whose lifestyle would better fit the spouse of a televangelist? And why would a land developer put his whole new condo complex on the line until the preacher agrees to come run the church in his new development?
If you can imagine the classic Christmas movies It's A Wonderful Life and Miracle On 34th Street rolled into one, you might have an inkling of what was supposed to happen in this film. Henry Biggs (Courtney Vance) is the down on his luck minister, and Julia (Whitney Houston) is his despondent wife. She thinks Henry spends too much time saving souls and not enough time pleasing her. Surprisingly, the powers above agree, and send an angel, Dudley (Denzel Washington) to boost Henry's spirits. But when Dudley starts spending more time with Julia than Henry does, things begin to get warm under the mistletoe. Meanwhile Julia, with her endless wardrobe selection, condemns her humble husband when he is tempted to move to a posh new church.
For family viewing, there are some heartwarming moments. The one violent scene, a store robbery involving gunshots, is relevant, short, and to the point. Considering how few movies attempt to portray religion in a positive light, The Preacher's Wife deserves some recognition. It was just disappointing that some of the ideas were not developed further. Not until the final minutes does Julia discover that she can spend time with Henry while serving his parishioners.
Why? The answer can be found in Houston's character, who really is more Whitney than Julia. The sole purpose of this movie is to frame Houston's talents. Yes, the music is great, and Houston can act, but she is too much star to be put atop of a story as weak as Charlie Brown's tree.

It's not that "staying in school" is a new idea. A quick Google search on the phrase gets 65 million hits. No one has a quick fix to the dropout crisis, but Colorado Youth for a Change, a Denver-based nonprofit, is making inroads. Kids are staying in school, returning to school, even going on to college.
Steve Dobo founded CYC six years ago in response to the numbing statistic that about 50 percent of Denver's high-schoolers drop out.
"I truly believe that this problem is solvable," says Dobo from his office on West 25th Avenue. "With a systematic approach, we can drive down these numbers significantly."
The agency, which is a past recipient of funding through Denver Post Charities' Season to Share, attacks the problem on three fronts: dropout outreach and recovery; dropout intervention; and new school design and creation.
Outreach finds kids who have dropped out, rethink it and get back on track.
"Sometimes kids drop out, and they want to get back, but they don't know how," says Dobo. "They drop out and then find that all their friends are in school. There are no jobs out there. At any age, this is a tough environment."
So CYC tries to fit them with a school. Shyla Lechuga dropped out and wanted to go to South High School. But it was too big a challenge for her, "too overwhelming," she says. Now she's at Colorado High School Charter. "I love school," she says.
Dobo says dropout intervention comes in when the agency finds kids failing two courses in the ninth or 10th grades. Then he can move in on them before they flunk out or drop out, get them back in the system. Staff members, such as Ruth Jones, will stick with a student for a full year.
New School Design and Creation looks at the options dropouts have to return to school, sometimes helping create new options, new schools such as the Futures Academy in Aurora.
The numbers tell the story. Last year, 588 former dropouts enrolled in school, and 70 percent either graduated or continued into the next school year. CYC helped about 1,500 youths across six school districts: Aurora Public Schools, Denver Public Schools, Boulder Valley Public Schools, Englewood Public Schools, Mapleton Public Schools and Pueblo 60.
Dominc Lovato is also a student of Jones and a senior at Colorado High School Charter. He was incarcerated for 18 months. It's hard to go to high school when one is in jail. Now he's out and on his way, thanks to Jones.
Lechuga cannot stop smiling as she talks about school and how she loves being there. She wants to go to the University of Denver and then on to get a Ph.D. What will she study?
"I don't know," she says. "I'll find my way. Your mind changes a lot when you're in college."

Giants Closer Brian Wilson Gives Gary Danko Fourteen Stars
He's especially a fan of the lobster risotto.
Heavily bearded Giants pitcher Brian Wilson, who earlier this year had the honor of fulfilling a lifelong dream of becoming a NYT crossword clue, knows his way around the S.F. food scene as well as he does around a Will Shortz puzzle. Last night on the MLB Network, during the All-Star Game, he chatted with hosts Chris Rose and Kevin Millar about a recent dinner he treated them to at Gary Danko. To wit: "It's a fourteen-star restaurant. It's got everything you could possibly want. The lobster risotto... if there was another word for excellent... and I can't think of it right now."

Pollination is necessary for flowering plants to reproduce. Insects, wind, birds, and even some bats and other animals help in the pollination process that leads to the fertilization of flowers. Flowers that rely on other living things for pollination have adapted their anatomical structure to attract these pollinators. A flower's color, shape and fragrance are a few examples of how its anatomy attracts animals that can serve as pollinators for it.
In this activity, students will discuss the various methods by which pollination can occur in flowers or plants. Students will dissect and identify the different parts of a flower, hypothesize the function of each part, and discuss the importance or relevance of each part to pollination.
Grade Level: 6th – 8th grade
Subject Matter: Life Science
National Standards: NS.5-8.1, NS.5-8.3
[attach pollen]
When pollen leaves a flower, it starts to dry out. Drying can destroy the genetic material that a grain of pollen is carrying. To combat dehydration, pollen grains have evolved a way of folding up to prevent water from leaking out. Eleni Katifori and colleagues describe the physics of pollen folding in a new paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Activity Materials
Flowers, such as lilies, irises, roses, daffodils, or tulips – one flower for each student.
Scalpel – one for each pair of student
Magnifying lens – one for each pair of students
Tweezers – one pair for each pair of students
Blank sheets of white paper and pencils, one of each for each student
Black construction paper, one sheet for each student
Pollination: the transfer of pollen from a flower's male reproductive parts to its female reproductive parts.
Fertilization: the union of male and female reproductive cells.
Sepal: the outermost part of the flower that surrounds and protects the flower bud and extends outward from the base of a flower after it has opened.
Petal: the outer parts of a flower, usually brightly colored to attract pollinators.
Pistil: the female part of the flower, which contains the stigma, style and ovary.
Stigma: the sticky part at the top of a flower's pistil, where pollen enters the style and travels to the ovary.
Style: the slender part of a flower's pistil, extending from the stigma to the ovary.
Ovary: the lower part of a flower's pistil, containing its female reproductive cells.
Ovule: a small structure in the flower's ovary that develops into a seed after fertilization.
Stamen: the male part of the flower, which contains the anther and filament.
Anther: the top part of a flower's stamen that develops and contains pollen.
Filament: the stalk-like portion of a flower's stamen that supports the anther.
What To Do
Prep: Before you present this lesson, become familiar with the anatomy of a flower by researching and viewing diagrams or images online or at the library. Teachers TalkingScience recommends that you hand out to your students printed copies of a diagram of the parts of a flower's anatomy that are explored in this activity. Or you can draw a sketch, based on your research, on a blackboard.
1. Begin the lesson by having students watch the Science Friday video, "Pollen Origami." Ask students to define and describe various methods of pollination. How does the anatomy of a flower support the process of pollination? Tell students that they will dissect a flower to investigate the function of each part of the flower, and how each part helps the process of pollination.
2. Hand out a blank white sheet of paper and a pencil to each student. Tell students that throughout the dissection, they will tape onto this sheet and then label the parts of the flower. Students also should write down their hypothesis of the function of each part of the flower.
3. Hand out a flower to each student. Have students count the number of sepals and petals on their flower, respectively. How do the petals or sepals feel? Based on location, shape, texture and color, what do the students think is the function of the sepals and petals?
4. Instruct students to carefully remove two or three of the sepals and petals so that they can see the inside of the flower. Have students tape and label the sepals and petals onto their sheet, and write down what they think the function of each one is, and why.
5. Tell students that firstly, they will dissect the male part of the flower. Can they guess which part of the flower is the stamen? Help students to identify and count the stamens. How many stamens are there? Why would a flower have that many stamens?
6. Hand out black construction paper, scalpels and tweezers that students can share. Have students remove one of the stamens carefully, using a scalpel and a pair of tweezers. Have students rub the top part of the stamen on their piece of black construction paper. Ask students to examine the pollen with a magnifying lens and describe what they see, including size, shape and color.
7. Have students describe the other parts of the stamen. Instruct students to remove all the stamens and tape them to the dissection sheet, labeling the anther and the filament. Students also should write down why they think the stamen is the male part of the flower, as well as the function of its individual parts.
8. Tell students that now they will dissect the female part of the flower. Have students identify the pistil and feel the top part of the stigma. Why would the stigma feel sticky?
9. Have the students use the scalpel to carefully remove the pistil and cut it in half lengthwise, so that they can examine the inside with the magnifying lens. Can they find the ovary and the ovules? Have students tape both halves of the pistil onto their dissection sheet with their hypothesis on the function of the pistil.
10. Have students compare and contrast their hypotheses on the function of each part of the flower. How are the male parts of the flower different from the female parts of the flower?
What's Happening?
Flowers contain male and female reproductive parts. The pistil is the female part of a flower and is comprised of the stigma, style, and ovary. The sticky texture of the stigma, combined with its location at the top of the pistil, helps to attract and adhere pollen grains that may be floating in the wind or clinging to the legs of an insect. The style is the long, tube- like structure leading to the ovary, which contains the female egg cells called ovules.
The stamen is the male part of a flower and is comprised of the anther and filament. The anther produces pollen and the filament supports the anther. The stamens usually surround the pistil, increasing the chances of pollination.
Pollen grains can be transferred from the anther to the stigma in different ways, including by wind, water, insects, birds or other animals. Once the pollen grains land on the stigma, it produces a threadlike tube that travels down the style to the ovary. Then male cells from the pollen grain can fertilize the ovules and develop into seeds.
Topics for Science Class Discussion
• What are some adaptations of flower petals to help attract pollinators?
• What are some disadvantages facing flowers that depend on insects for pollination?
• How do non-flowering plants reproduce?
• Identify the part of the flower that will become the fruit.
Extended Activities and Links
Extend this activity by having students dissect different types of flowers, or by having students collect flowers from a nearby field or park. Students can observe and record the shape, size, color, and odor of these flowers. Then they can compare their similarities and differences using a Venn diagram. Can they find different species of a common flower, such as goldenrod, and record the differences?
Have students press their flowers after dissection by drying flowers between newspaper sheets overnight. After most of the moisture has been removed from the flower, place the flowers between two sheets of wax paper in between the pages of a phone book or any other heavy book. Allow the flowers to dry for at least two weeks. Have students frame the dried flowers and label each with its scientific name and common name, as well as the parts of the flower.
Take a quiz on the different parts of a flower:
