Style and Technique (Masterplots II: Short Story Series, Revised Edition)
As in most of his stories, Callaghan's style here is objective, concise, and unadorned. He strives to present the essential, illuminating experience directly to his reader. Much depends on the reader's sensitivity to implications and undercurrents, which is entirely consonant with a story about a young man's discovery of the poignant reality underlying his mother's apparently routine existence.
The story is written in the third person, with Alfred as the central consciousness, as befits a story about his moral growth. The clipped dialogue, unmetaphorical prose, and paucity of specific details regarding time, place, characters, atmosphere, and so on allow Callaghan to highlight those moments when the central character's consciousness expands under the impact of experience.
Structurally, "All the Years of Her Life" develops through a series of surprises moving toward a crucial revelation. Alfred is surprised by his employer, surprised by Mr. Carr's inexplicable reluctance to prosecute, surprised by his mother's deft handling of the situation, and finally, surprised by his discovery of the pain and suffering his mother endures. Though compact and spare, the story convincingly suggests the potential in humanity for significant moral development.

Historical Context
Canadian Literature in the 1920s and 1930s
Canada did not officially become a country until 1867, so it has had a relatively short period to develop a distinctive literature of its own. Before Callaghan arrived on the scene in the late 1920s, few Canadian short-story writers had achieved any distinction. As Walter Allen points out in The Short Story in English, most pre-1920s Canadian literature also dealt either with pastoral life or with life in the wild, neither of which theme interested Callaghan, who grew up in an urban area.
The best respected Canadian literary predecessor to Callaghan is usually considered to be Duncan Campbell Scott (1862–1947). Scott was aware of the work of the best European writers of his time, such as Flaubert and Guy de Maupassant, which enabled him to produce work of above-average quality. Scott's best-known work of the three shortstory collections he published is The Village of Viger (1896).
Another Canadian writer of short stories, as well as poetry and novels, is Callaghan's contemporary, Raymond Knister (1899–1932). His stories are notable for their clarity and sharp realism. Callaghan himself acknowledged the high quality of Knister's work, but Knister's promising career was cut short by his premature death (he drowned in Lake St. Clair, Ontario, at the age of thirty-three). According to Allen, however, it is Callaghan whose work marked a new beginning for Canadian...

Literary Style
Point of View
The story is told from the point of view of a selective omniscient narrator. This means that although the narrator, who is not a character in the story, can enter the mind of any character and relate what the character is thinking, in practice he limits himself to focusing on one character.
For example, the narrator gives little information about what Mr. Carr is thinking, since the drugstore owner's thoughts are obvious from his words and actions; he is annoyed at having a thief as an employee. Any more attention given to the workings of Mr. Carr's mind would distract the reader's attention from where the author wants it, which is on the mind of Alfred. Alfred is the main character, and the narrator's knowledge of what is going on inside Alfred's mind enables the reader to observe him from the inside as well as the outside.
The narrator also chooses not to see into the mind of Alfred's mother. The effectiveness of the scene in the drugstore depends on the reader's ignorance of Mrs. Higgins's true state of mind. The insight into Mrs. Higgins's inner world has to come later through Alfred. It is this fact that gives the story its forceful, moving conclusion, because what is important is not Mrs. Higgins's state of mind per se, but the effect it has on her son when he perceives it for the first time.
The story belongs to the literary movement known as realism....

Compare and Contrast
1930s: Canadian literature is still in its infancy and is not known for having distinctive characteristics of its own. English-speaking Canadians tend to read mostly British or American fiction, but Callaghan brings a new voice to Canadian fiction.
Today: Canadian literature is in the forefront of world literature. Writers such as Alice Munro, Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje, Yann Martel, Alistair Macleod, and Carol Shields have won such international awards as Britain's prestigious Booker Prize and the American Pulitzer Prize for their work.
1930s: The political situation in Europe is rapidly deteriorating. In 1936, the year Callaghan's Now That April's Here and Other Stories is published, German troops under Adolf Hitler's leadership march into the Rhineland. The threeyear civil war in Spain also begins in 1936. In 1939 World War II begins.
Today: Europe has overcome many of the consequences of the events of the 1930s and 1940s. Germany is no longer divided into East and West Germany. The Iron Curtain no longer divides eastern and western Europe. Spain is a democracy. The European Community is steadily expanding, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is gradually increasing its membership to include nations that were formerly members of the communist Soviet bloc.

Topics for Further Study
Describe an incident in your own life when you had a moment of revelation about someone. What truth did you see that was not apparent to you before, and how did it change the way you behaved afterwards?
Do you think that Mr. Carr should have turned Alfred over to the police? Would Alfred have been better off in the long run by being prosecuted, or is his realization of how much his mother is suffering going to be sufficient for him to change his ways? Explain your answer based on events in the story.
Write a short story approximately two pages in length that follows the structure of many of the stories in Callaghan's collection Now That April's Here and Other Stories. Your story should consist of a brief prelude, in which the situation is explained, followed by a confrontation. The confrontation should lead to some moment of realization (or revelation) on the part of the protagonist in which he or she reaches a new understanding of life or a fresh understanding of his or her relationship with someone else. Limit the story to three characters or fewer.
Research the Great Depression of the 1930s. What were the causes of the depression? What was life like for those who were unemployed or underemployed? How did people survive such hardships? What changes did the Great Depression bring about in social and economic policy in the United States and Canada?

Media Adaptations
''All the Years of Her Life'' was adapted as a film by the same name in 1974. It was directed by Robert Fortier and stars Carl Marotte, Walter Wakefield, and Mary Gay Pinatel.
(The entire section is 32 words.)
What Do I Read Next?
Such Is My Beloved (1934) is widely considered to be Callaghan's finest novel. It tells the story of a young priest who tries to rescue two prostitutes, depicting a world where cynicism and betrayal are common but also where a divine love redeems the fallen.
The Oxford Book of Canadian Short Stories in English (1986), edited by Margaret Atwood and Robert Weaver, contains forty-one short stories written during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Authors include Mordecai Richler, Alice Munro, Sinclair Ross, Stephen Leacock, and Callaghan, as well as other, less well-known writers.
Alice Munro's Selected Stories (1997) is a representative selection of the work of a Canadian writer considered one of the greatest contemporary short-story writers. Her subject matter is often the troubled lives of women in small-towns in Ontario, but her art transcends its rather narrow base and has universal appeal.
The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway: The Finca Vigia Edition (1998) is the definitive collection of Hemingway's stories and can be used to compare his work with that of Callaghan, his friend and contemporary.

There are a number of reasons why you might be moving to a new gym. It might be through necessity such as a house move or work placement, which would mean it's a forced move by all accounts. On other occasions you will decide that your existing gym no longer fulfil your needs of training, be it a lack or equipment or the absence of a particular service (i.e. exercise class) you are looking for.
Whatever the reasons are for you leaving your current gym, you need to make sure that your new gym offers the equipment and services you want. In this guide I hope to share with you the top five things you need to consider when changing gyms.
1) Gym Membership Contract
The usual practice of obtaining a membership is to first sign a lengthy contract (usually twelve months, sometimes more). Before signing a new contract, make sure you have cancelled your existing gym membership and paid any incurring charges for an early cancellation. Running two gym memberships contracts alongside one another doesn't make economical sense. And of course, always beware if the excessively long contracts!
I am now a member of a gym in Newcastle that offers a contract-free gym membership. Contract-free gym memberships are fast becoming an industry standard, making the need for a contract at all obsolete.
2) Personal Trainers
You are never too advanced to get some expert advice. Enrolling some help from a personal trainer will get you to achieve more from your gym sessions, and reaching your targets quicker in the process.
Although it is rare, not all gyms offer access to personal training and if you are relatively new to the gym scene, I'd strongly suggest you avoid a gym that doesn't.
3) Multisite Membership
If you are a frequent traveller or intend on joining a gym chain with multiple venues, be sure that they offer an 'all site' or multisite membership.
With my new gym membership, I have a site not too far from my place of work as well as a mile away from my home. This gives me the freedom and flexibility of choosing when and where I can workout at no extra cost.
4) Opening Times
I'm sure plenty of you will agree with me on this one. So many gyms offer such lacklustre opening times. Early opening times granted, but some close as early at nine o'clock in the evening. After a long days work it is comforting in the solace of a good workout.
With your new gym, check opening and closing times. Do they fit within your work and private life? If not, it might be worth considering a 24 hour gym.
5) Customer Support
Fingers crossed the majority of the time you will not need any form of customer support or help, but when you do, how will your new gym compare from your last?
Is there a direct phone number? Does any kind of support need to be sent exclusively online? Are they active and listening on social media? A lot of the leading gym chains are now extremely receptive over customer feedback via social media meaning a more meaningful and transparent experience.
Often the difference between a good company and a great company is the level of support they offer, gyms included.
There we have it: My top five factors to consider when moving to a new gym.
The author of this post works out at The Gym Group. It's a gym in Newcastle which has changed his view on the way things should work within all gyms.

She died living out her dream.
Unable to sleep
Monday night, Sandy hammered the East Coast, especially Staten Island and the Jersey Shore. Giant waves swamped homes, apartments and buildings. Power lines fell. Subway tunnels in New York filled with rushing water. All bridges to the city were closed.
At 7:45 p.m., 10 feet of water inundated the NYU medical center in Manhattan.
Luz Martinez was watching the news when Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced the hospital was being evacuated.
Her heart pounded.
Then, the power went out in the apartment.
Martinez got on her cellphone. She spoke with a nurse who said Emma would be moved a few blocks away to Mount Sinai Medical Center. She was on the priority list, to be transported first. Nurses would use hand pumps as respirators as they carried Emma and other babies in critical condition down several flights of stairs in the dark.
An hour and a half would pass before Martinez heard back. Emma was safe and stable at Mount Sinai.
Martinez paced her apartment, unable to sleep.
Deidre Duffy woke her husband at 3 a.m. Tuesday, October 30. He was prepared for damage from wind and rain. Not for what his wife was about to tell him.
"Breezy Point," she said, "is on fire."
As floodwaters smashed into the neighborhood, transformers blew and power lines snapped. Fanned by high winds, the flames engulfed the wooden homes like kindling.
At first, authorities reported 40 homes were gone. But with daybreak came the news that more than 100 had burned to the ground.
It would mark one of the worst residential fires in New York City history.
On Tuesday, the Duffys made their way to 164 Ocean Avenue. Their home was in ashes.
Tom Duffy isn't sure yet if the family will rebuild, but he is certain of one thing about Breezy Point: "It will never be the same."
Reuniting with Emma
Luz Martinez's sister is a New York cop. Tuesday morning, she knew which streets and bridges were open. She sent her boyfriend to fetch Luz on Roosevelt Island and take her to Emma's side.
The ride, usually 40 minutes, took 20. No one was on the road.
At Mount Sinai, Martinez found Emma in the neonatal unit. "She gave me so much peace of mind, just looking at her, sleeping like nothing had happened. She wasn't aware of what was going on."
The hospital's CEO, Kenneth Davis, was making the rounds. He was the one who had agreed to take Emma and other NYU patients into his hospital. He walked into the room, arms outstretched.
"You need a hug," he said.
Martinez began crying and thanked him.
Emma was less than a month old and yet she'd already been through so much. Her mother has given her a nickname.

Lower Gas Prices Coming?
An October 25 article for CNBC predicted that gas prices, down significantly from where they were in April, would continue to slide by at least another 10 cents per gallon, perhaps more. That would bring the national average price, currently at $3.29 a gallon, closer to $3, with some places in the country enjoying even lower prices.

I highly doubt that finding a new copy of Lego Rock Band will be even remotely difficult anywhere in the near future. If and when it does happen YEARS down the line, maybe Harmonix will change the import method.
This is what I'm figuring too. So good luck getting that, OP.
I figure I may as well buy it even though I mainly just want it to export. I have the feeling it'll be an easy 1000 GS and it might be fun to try to make my main RB band in Lego form.
I went ahead and pre-ordered my copy.

Musical Main Character
I'm working on an idea about a girl whose life is greatly influenced by music. She is shy but stunningly beautiful, very self conscious and resorts to starving herself. She loves older music from older decades (60's-90's...?) Currently my fave name for her is Isla. I think it suits her very well. Any middle and last name suggestions? She is 14 or 15, with long dark hair, lanky and tall.
June 7th, 2013 03:29 PM #3
Isla...how exactly would you pronounce that? I think the middle name should be short and the last name should be longer, or vice versa (is that even how you spell vice versa?)
Isla Eve
Isla Ella (maybe it rhymes too much for your taste, but I think it sounds musical in its own right)
Isla Mae
Isla Kate
Isla Bree
Isla Della (same as with Ella; rhymes, but sounds musical itself, so it fits the character)
Last names:
West"I read books when I was a kid, lots of books. Books always seemed like magic to me. They took you to the most amazing places. When I got older, I realized I couldn't find books that took me to all the places I wanted to go. To go to those places, I had to write some books myself."
― Pat Murphy, The Wild Girls
"Like everyone else, I am going to die. But the words – the words live on..."
― J. Michael Straczynski
June 8th, 2013 06:48 AM #5
I like the name Philyra, it means Lover of Music. I'm a in love with this name, to any character who is out there.

What to Expect When You're Expecting is the latest comedy to be based on a self-help bestseller. What's next, Jennifer Aniston and Ashton Kutcher in The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People?
Adapted from Heidi Murkoff's 1984 pregnancy bible, What to Expect takes six lightly- sketched couples and weaves them into the impending-motherhood equivalent of one of those synthetic ensemble romantic comedies.
As sociology, the movie is skin-deep. But if you're a parent or preparing to be one, you'll probably see yourself in at least a few of these characters and have a good time doing so.
Elizabeth Banks is terrific as a baby-book author having her first child, a woman in the full dramatic throes of the bodily-function awkwardness of pregnancy. Ben Falcone, from Bridesmaids, is equally as good as her doting, milquetoast husband, but Dennis Quaid, as Falcone's ex-racing-star father (who is having twins with his trophy wife), is playing an alpha-male cartoon.
Cameron Diaz (as a diet-reality-show host) and Matthew Morrison, as the father of her child, spar painfully well as a couple who can't agree if the son they're about to have should be circumsized. Jennifer Lopez and Rodrigo Santoro are touching as a couple out to adopt.
There's also a very funny pack of defeated young dads who carry themselves like the living dead. As the father of an 18-month-old myself, I have to admit I could relate to everything they said.
Last and least, Anna Kendrick and Chace Crawford act out an unconvincing, bite-sized Knocked Up.
What to Expect When You're Expecting is sort of thrown together, but that's okay: It hits authentic notes of anxiety and joy.
