Thestory culminates in Dieter's death due to a stroke. A second significant statement made by Vanderhaeghe (173) thatidentifies the nature of this elderly man is attributed to his housekeeper,Mrs. He is at the mercy of a woman who can decidewhen or even if he will be allowed to eat bacon or to smoke a cigarette.While there is certainly some indication in the story that Dieter needs tobe monitored, Mrs. Hax clearly enjoys her responsibilities and takespleasure in thwarting the old man's desires. Noting;except the bear was beaten and battered, humiliated, even spat upon"(Vanderhaeghe, 181). He is suggesting that a wild animal feelsor behaves in much the same way that a human does. They are no longer masters of their own fate or destiny. What went on in the oldbastard's head if anything? Hismouth had opened as if he were about to speak. He has notsucceeded in being embraced by the bear but is embraced by the very womanwho torments him. What is significant about this quotation is that it links the longforgotten dancing bear to Dieter himself. Hax, "It was going to be one of those days. Lear is treated similarly by the daughters he gave the power tocontrol his kingdom. Again, in King Lear, the king is reduced to poverty by his daughtersand is humiliated by them, Nor rain, wind, thunder, fire are my daughters: I tax not you, you elements, with unkindness; I never gave you kingdom, called you children, you owe me no subscription.... Nevertheless, he knows himselfto be worthy of respect, which he does not receive from Mrs. Hax. Similarly, in Shakespeare's (855) King Lear, his daughter, Goneril,says, "come, sir, I would have you make use of that good wisdom, whereof Iknow you are fraught; and put away these dispositions, that of latetransform you from what you rightly are." Just as Dieter Bethge, theelderly man in "The Dancing Bear" is subject to the domination of a womanwho finds him to be peculiar and difficult, so does Lear find that he hasplaced himself in the hands of ungrateful daughters, who having receivedcontrol of his kingdom are no longer interested in allowing him to act astheir father or superior. In Shakespeare's (896) play, Lear's good daughter Cordelia comes torescue her father from the fate imposed on him by her ungrateful sisters.From her, Lear learns the truth, that "her voice was ever soft, gentle, andlow, an excellent thing in a woman" (Shakespeare, 896). It is a sadsituation and one in which the petty tyranny of a housekeeper makes an oldand ill man miserable. Dieter has lost the ability to take care of himself and is impotentin the face of the mean and petty behavior of Mrs. Hax. Once more, the reader is remindedthat there are some very strong similarities in the situation of these twomen. Dieter is just an old man whose life is coming to an endand who is no longer sufficiently valued by his only child. Hax, I think it best if my fatherphones only on important matters, at your discretion" (Vanderhaeghe, 178). Neither is particularly loved or valued by hisoffspring, although in the case of Lear the reader recognizes that there isone daughter, Cordelia, who does genuinely care for and respect her father. Inthis essay, a number of quotations from the short story will be analyzedand linked to the central theme of the story, which focuses on theimpotence of the older man whose body no longer serves him and who is verymuch at the mercy of others, including an uninvolved son and a housekeeperwho treats him with unrelieved contempt. A bear who had lived in shame andimpotence." By attributing human characteristics or reactions such asshame and impotence to an animal, the author is engaged inanthropomorphizing attribution. Hax, who was told by his son, "Mrs. He is adifficult old man as was Lear but he is still worthy of respect and doesnot deserve the cruel treatment that Mrs. Hax regularly hands out to him ona regular basis. What made him so peculiar, so difficult attimes like these?" This is a symbolic statement because it demonstratesthat the woman selected to care for this man is not interested in his well-being and regards him as difficult at best. Ed. Similarly, Shakespeare's (865) Lear is informed that his daughters nolonger have any respect for him and that he will no longer be allowed to doas he pleases, "Your son and daughter found this trespass worth the shamewhich here it suffers." Just as Dieter has a son who no longer wishes tospeak to his father except on very rare occasions, so does Lear havedaughters who find there is no room for this once powerful king in thecastles that he has given to them. 845-897.Vanderhaeghe, Guy. "The Dancing Bear." Man Descending. In this, he is like WilliamShakespeare's King Lear who is described as, the best and soundest of his time hath been but rash; then we must look to receive from his age, not alone the imperfections of long engraffed condition, but therewithal the unruly waywardness that infirm and choleric years bring with them (Shakespeare, 85 ). In recalling the dancing bear, Dieter expects that he will learn somefundamental truth. New York: Ticknor & Fields, 1985. Dieter is not so fortunate. He is unable tocontrol even the simplest aspect of his life such as being able to decidewhat he wants for breakfast. Like Dieter, Learexperiences a stroke or heart attack and dies, having learned all too latethat his own behavior is responsible for the death of his daughters. There is a similarity between the fate of Dieterand Shakespeare's Lear. 171-186. Dieter has been placed in the hands ofMrs. Literary Analysis: "The Dancing Bear" Guy Vanderhaeghe (171) describes in "The Dancing Bear" an old man who"lay sleeping on the taut red rubber sheet as if he were some specimenmounted and pinned there to dry." With this introduction, the theme of thestory is established via figurative language which likens the elderly manto some insect that has been captured, killed, and mounted for display. Works CitedShakespeare, William. This recollectionforeshadows an event - the falling of Dieter after his stroke into the openand waiting arms of Mrs. Hax. He says, "And when the music stopped, the bear hadopened his arms very wide in a gesture of friendship and welcome. In terms of the theme of thestory, this reflects the isolation of the elderly man and his acknowledgedloss of control over some of his behavior. The two old men are therefore in much the same position with respectto their children. However, if Lear's tragedy is written on a grandand epic scale, Dieter's tragedy is far more intimate, ordinary, andunderstandable. Dieter isabused when he asserts the right to eat corn flakes rather than porridgeand is made to feel that he is a dirty old man who has no authority in hisown home. He is truly abandoned by his son and left atthe mercy of a woman whom he knows to be careless with "his plates, hisfeelings" (Vanderhaeghe, 179). The shame he felt at watching "such an indignity, such completeindifference to the rightful pride of the bear" is like the shame he feelsin observing his own condition and his subjection to the whims and pettymeanness of a woman who is paid to care for him (Vanderhaeghe, 181). Dieter has not learned the special truththat the bear may have been able to confide only in him. Briefly, Vanderhaeghe's story moves from the beginning of what seemsto be a fairly typical day in the life of Dieter Bethge, who is locked in abattle of wills with his petty and cruel housekeeper/caretaker, Mrs. Hax.Dieter is frail physically and given to moments in which his mentalfunctions are erratic or even disordered. "King Lear." Shakespeare. Running throughout "The Dancing Bear" is Dieter's memory of a trainedbear that danced to the music of a violin in a market in Romania whenDieter was a child. A third significant quotation from "The Dancing Bear" (175) describesthe bear that the younger Dieter saw his father skin, "There had beenanother bear; he was sure of it. Hardin Craig. Thedancing bear can only dance when the violin is playing and is abused by hiskeeper when he chooses to dance alone for his own pleasure. In aparticularly telling statement, Dieter states that "his mind's eye had seenthe bear suddenly strike, revenge himself. Vanderhaeghe's short story catalogs the death of an old man who hasbeen all but abandoned by his only son and for whom life is by and large adaily struggle for some type of self-respect or dignity. Here I stand, your slave, a poor, infirm, weak, and despised old man (Shakespeare, 87 ).The bear, Dieter, and Lear are like one another in their dependence onothers. And that was exactly whatDieter had expected all along" (Vanderhaeghe, 185). Both of these older male characters have lostcontrol over the external realities of their lives and are thereforevulnerable to the dictates of others who may not have their best interestsat heart. Perhaps moresignificantly, this describes the feelings of the elderly man who himself,"lives in shame and impotence" because of the frailty of his body and mind(Vanderhaeghe, 175). Lear's royal prerogatives are also treatedcarelessly by the very daughters whose flattery gained them adisproportionate share of his kingdom. On those occasions when Dieterattempts to rebel against Mrs. Hax's harsh treatment, he is alsopsychologically beaten, battered, and humiliated in the same the way as wasthe bear. Chicago: Scott, Foresman and Company, 1952. Thematically, the language of the two quotationslinks each of these actors. Inthis he is different from Dieter, whose death does not look like it willaffect his son and it will affect Mrs. Hax only to the degree that she willneed to find another job. As thestory progresses, a triggered memory of a trained dancing bear from hischildhood leads Dieter to rebel against Mrs. Hax and his situation. Dieter identifies with the bear whose only wrongdoingwas that he enjoyed dancing without the music provided by his keeper. Yet nothing happened.

After it was reported yesterday in the Football Transfer Tavern that Manchester City were looking to offload Joleon Lescott in January, it is not too surprising to see reports today linking him with his former club Everton.
Mirror Football suggests that David Moyes is lining up a loan move for the defender with the majority of the £90,000-a-week wages being paid by his parent-club.
Moyes views Lescott as a vital component if his side are to kick on and seal Champions League qualification while Roberto Mancini has given up with the man his predecessor Mark Hughes paid the Toffee's £24 million for just three year ago.
If the club successfully secures the 30-year-old centre back in the upcoming window it will spell a transfer merry-go-round at Goodison Park with Moyes firstly looking to sell unwanted John Heitinga to Galatasaray for £7 million.
Reports then suggest that the money from the sale of the Dutch defender will be used to reinforce his striking options with Toulouse forward Wissam Ben Yedder, 22, and Paris Saint Germain's 25-year-old French international Kevin Gameiro both linked.
Given the fact that Everton have an abundance of decent defenders, it remains to be seen whether or not this is a likely prospect but it has certainly got chins wagging in the bar this morning.
Heitinga is NOT unwanted, he is very much wanted and is a stable and consistent performer. John has always expressed a desire to return to Ajax and if this is his time then that will be a shame for Everton.

The sound of clanging chains grew louder Friday afternoon as a quiet funeral crowd watched Amanda Saul shuffle 25 yards from an inmate-transport van to the edge of her infant son's graveside services.
Shackled at the ankles and waist, Saul faced the public and attended Baby Boy Saul's funeral after asking to attend 1 hours before the funeral began, Potter County Sheriff's Deputy Capt. Dennis Horn said.
Saul has been charged with abusing the corpse of her son, a Class A misdemeanor. She may face stiffer charges if lab results conclude that the baby was alive June 1 when placed in a Dumpster on the corner of 10th Avenue and Madison Street.
Horn said he had received requests from community members asking that Saul be able to attend the funeral before she asked to go.
"We try to accommodate our inmates," Horn said. "Of course, she was charged with a Class A misdemeanor, and trying not to read into that, we tried to treat her like anyone else in here charged with a misdemeanor."
When Saul told Horn at 12:30 p.m. that she wanted to attend the funeral, Horn said he set up the same provisions for her that the jail does for other inmates going to funerals.
"She cried when I told her she had to go in handcuffs and leg irons, but we didn't know what to expect," Horn said.
Horn anticipated receiving criticism for allowing Saul to attend the funeral and for chaining her in shackles.
"There are a faction of people that are going to wonder why we let her go, and the other faction will wonder why we treated her like a criminal," Horn said.
Escorted by two female deputies, Saul was led to the edge of the grave site but not allowed to sit under the tent in seats usually reserved for family members. Saul was Baby Boy Saul's only family member at the funeral.
Paramount Terrace Christian Church Associate Senior Pastor Jud Wilhite officiated the short service. Music minister Regi Fowler sang. N.S. Griggs & Sons Funeral Directors, who provided the arrangements, donated the blue-checkered casket. Memory Gardens Cemetery donated a grave in the baby section of the cemetery. Amarillo florists donated sprays of baby blue flowers.
The 2 p.m. service opened with two songs by Fowler, including "Jesus Loves the Little Children." Saul began to quietly sob during the song and several of the 45 community members who attended the funeral dabbed at their eyes with tissue. The couple who found the baby, Cameron and Jana Simpson, also attended the funeral.
Jana Simpson and Saul never stopped crying. Saul, clutching a tissue, had trouble catching her breath many times. She kept her head bowed during the funeral.
Wilhite spoke for about five minutes, then asked the crowd to observe a moment of silence for Baby Boy Saul, Amanda Saul and those who were affected by the infant's death.
At 2:20 p.m., when most of the people who attended the funeral were leaving, Potter County Sheriff's Chaplain R. Perez led Saul to the baby's casket where she stood crying for several minutes before a man helping with the arrangements snapped a blue carnation from one of the sprays and handed it to her. She bent over and placed the carnation on the baby's casket and was escorted back to the transport van.
As she turned toward the van, the carnation rolled off the casket.

HEMINGWAY, S.C. (AP) — There has been plenty of NFL talent to come out of the state of South Carolina – many from the Geathers family tree.
Brothers Jumpy and Robert Sr. are the patriarchs of a group that has produced six pro football players with more on the way. Jumpy, known as "The Human Forklift," spent 13 seasons as an NFL defensive lineman and helped Washington win the Super Bowl in 1992. Robert Sr. played six years with the Buffalo Bills.
Robert's sons, Robert Jr. and Clifton, are currently on NFL rosters. A third son, Kwame, is a rising junior defensive lineman at Georgia. Jumpy's sons played football too, Jeremy at UNLV and Jarvis at UCF.
That's a lot of football skill from one lineage out of small-town South Carolina.
The family recently talked with The Associated Press about their football heritage.
"It's really kind of neat when you think about it," said Adria Geathers, wife of Robert Jr. who's preparing for his ninth season with the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Geathers' group came together earlier this month for a family football camp designed to give something back to Carvers Bay High and the Georgetown County community where they grew up.
"This is something we've wanted to do for a while and we're glad it happened," said Clifton, who played at South Carolina and is on the Dallas Cowboys roster.
Robert Sr., who owns a car dealership, got things started when he starred at South Carolina State and was a third-round NFL draft pick for Buffalo. Younger brother Jumpy was right behind, going to Wichita State to play basketball before joining the football team for former South Carolina State coach Willie Jeffries.
Jumpy Geathers was taken in the second round by New Orleans in 1984 and played until the getting injured before the 1997 season with Denver, which went on to win the first of two straight Super Bowls.
Jumpy, known for his devastating forklift rush, finished with 62 sacks in a 13-season career at defensive tackle with the Saints, Washington, Atlanta and Denver.
"I'm still trying to catch up to my uncle," Robert Jr. said.
Robert Sr. and Jumpy were part of a family of seven brothers who grew up harvesting tobacco in the rural fields of Georgetown County. Sports were natural distraction and football, as it is throughout most of the Southeast, was king at now closed Choppee High. The brothers passed the love of football on to their sons, but they also made sure their children put it its proper place behind faith and academics.
Friends and Carvers Bay teachers out to visit the camp recalled how the Geathers' parents made excelling at school more important than a quarterback sack or fumble recovery.
"We're all just here for a short time with nothing promised," Jumpy said. "It's important to know what matters most."
Robert Sr.'s sons remembered their parents' insistence on working area farmland and washing cars in the searing South Carolina summer heat. Clifton said studying came before most anything else and if there was a problem at school, his parents made sure he understood that it had to be corrected.
"I had people leading me in the right direction," Clifton said.
That's the reason behind the camp, which was open to area youngsters who might one day play for Carvers Bay or beyond. Clifton and his father, Robert Sr., said they were there to show young people that doing what's right can lead to success in any field.
For the Geathers, that's meant the football field.
Neither Robert Sr. nor Jumpy pushed their sons to play. But as they grew in skill, it was hard for the next generation of Geathers not to attract the attention of college coaches. Robert Sr. remembers a "who's who" of colleges stopping by his house to talk about Robert Jr., then Clifton and finally Kwame. Robert Sr. remembers with a laugh how he was cooking shrimp for the Georgia coaches "while other schools were outside waiting," he said.
Robert Sr.'s boys can't escape a playful rivalry with the family business. Robert Sr. recalls Clifton telling his older brother Robert Jr. that's it was time for him to step aside. Kwame chimed in right after that it was time for both his older brothers to make way for the young defensive end.
"Out with the old and in with the new," Kwame said, chuckling.
Kwame is a 6-foot-6, 329-pound nose tackle who was praised by Bulldogs coach Mark Richt for his work during Georgia's spring ball. Should Kwame catch the eye of pro scouts, it could give Robert Sr., a third son in the NFL. "I don't know if anyone else can say that," he said.
Kwame's not the only Geathers excelling at college football. Cousin Clayton Geathers Jr. started 12 games for UCF last fall, finishing with 40 tackles and six passes broken up. "I just want to work hard and see where it takes me," Clayton Jr. said.
That's usually the approach in the Geathers family.
"You've got a destiny," Jumpy said. If you come from a family of top carpenters, "you'll be a top carpenter. If you're in sports, you learn sports and you want your kids to do the best," Jumpy continued. "That's only human."

Categorizing Your Content Creation for Optimal Freshness and Quality
Posted on Thursday, November 10th, 2011 by David Waterman Print This Post
Categories - Featured, SEO
Recently Google announced an improvement to their ranking algorithm that was implemented to better determine when to provide more up-to-date relevant results. They estimate that this update should affect approximately 35% of searches (where at least one result on the page was affected).
Now some website owners may take this as a call to start pumping out content at an hourly rate to get a "freshness" ranking boost. To those website owners, our own Grant Simmons said "not so fast" and forced the issue that the content produced should still be relevant, of high quality and easily found within your website. I couldn't agree with him more.
However, since Google has made freshness a factor, content freshness and timeliness is something to significantly consider. This poses a new challenge for website owners and operators. Anyone can generate new content on a daily basis, but when you start creating content just so you have fresh content, you often lose sight of the quality of that content.
So how do you balance freshness with quality? By segmenting your content production into three categories: 1) Evergreen Content, 2) Brand/Industry Specific Content; 3) Fun Content
Evergreen Content
Evergreen content is the core content of your website. It consists of the basic categories, sub-categories and general information that relates to what it is your company does and offers. These pages typically contain the content/topics that also align with your core SEO keyword targets and should be optimized as such.
EXAMPLE: Let's say you're an online marketing agency that offers Search Engine Optimization services. So, you obviously need a page that discusses the specific SEO services you offer. Unless you're constantly changing what it is you offer in regards to SEO, this page will remain virtually unchanged. Also, it's a natural fit to be optimized around keywords like SEO and Search Engine Optimization, so you have a great and natural opportunity to gain traffic from people searching for SEO-related terms.
To summarize, your evergreen content is the foundation of your website. It reflects the core products/services you offer and are typically the core pages you want to ensure are aligned with how people typically search for said products/services online. So unless you're constantly changing your products/service offering, those pages will naturally remain unchanged as well as be naturally optimized from a keyword perspective.
Brand/Industry-Specific Content
Brand/industry-specific content consists of press releases, POVs on industry events and other articles relating to your company. This content is expected to be fresh and added at a regular pace. This is also the type of content that not all companies produce at an on-going pace. It's true that companies typically create press releases when big company events occur, but what about the larger space you're in? Do you create company POV articles on large industry changes/events? Do you limit press releases to enormous company news or do you create ones when you get positive reviews on relevant blogs/websites?
EXAMPLE: Let's say you're still that online marketing agency that offers Search Engine Optimization services. You already have your SEO page that's aligned with SEO-related keywords that will remain unchanged, but what about the recent Panda Updates? This is a big opportunity to create an agency POV on the update. The result is a new and relevant piece of content specific to the SEO industry as a whole. Now that's some valuable fresh content.
To summarize, there's always an opportunity to talk about yourself and the industry, so don't be shy. Adding brand/industry-specific content into the mix will allow you to create topical, relevant and timely content that will be seen as "fresh" content on your website. And don't get hung up on what keywords to target with this content. Just make sure the content can be found within your site, doesn't cause any content duplication and has real value and insight.
Fun Content
Fun content consists of articles that are…well…FUN! They don't necessarily need to talk about your company. They don't even need to be directly tied to industry news or keywords. In fact, doing keyword research could hinder your creativity. These don't need necessarily need to be articles. They could be infographics, videos, photo galleries, etc. It just needs to be related to your larger industry and have a fun topic.
EXAMPLE: Let's say you're still that online marketing agency. You already have your SEO services page (Evergreen content) and a POV on the recent Panda updates (Brand/industry-specific content). The next step is to create that fun content! Having trouble thinking up fun content ideas? How about these:
– 10 Ways to Ensure Google NEVER Finds your Content
– The Rise and Fall of the Meta Keywords Tag
– Horoscopes for SEO Specialists
– Photo Gallery of Matt Cutts Hairstyles Over the Years
– Halloween Costume Ideas for SEO Specialists
– How to Optimize Your Dating Life – Using SEO Best Practices
So as you can see, by aligning your content within these categories, you'll have an easier time creating fresh, quality content on a regular basis. The key is to know what content to focus on keywords (Evergreen content), what content to focus on the industry (brand/industry-specific content), and what content to focus on your creativity (fun content).

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Real Housewives' Lisa Hochstein Wins Appeal in Effort to Destroy Home
Real Housewives of Miami's Lisa Hochstein is one step closer to tearing down her historic home.
Miami preservationists have lost an appeal to stop the reality star and her plastic surgeon husband Leonard from tearing down their mansion at 42 Star Island, according to the Miami Herald.
Lisa and Leonard had initially received approval from the city to tear down their house, but the Miami Design Preservation league appealed the demolition.
The couple's mansion was built in 1925 and is located at a prominent corner of Star Island in Miami Beach.
A special master denied the preservation league's appeal, although the league's application to get the home designated as "historic" is still pending.
The league promises to still appeal this latest decision in court, but Leonard Hochstein doesn't sound worried.
"They'll lose," he says. "They'll delay us, and they'll cost us more money, but that's what these people do."
Tempers flared in recent weeks between the Hochsteins and the preservationists following a raucous gangster-themed party that the couple threw last month.
"Yes, if you took the party as a message and the middle finger, you are right!" Lisa tweeted recently. "Until we tear down 42 Star Island, we will throw as many theme parties as we want." So there.
As it turns out, we might not have to wait too much longer for the home to disappear.

The Miracle Worker [play] (1956)
by William Gibson
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Phenomenal! So many interlocking themes. Water flowing underground, drawn out by a pump -- redemption as repayment from her brother -- "you can see 5000 years back with words" -- imitation versus meaning. Simply amazing. Brought me to tears. Heart-wrenching and exultant.
My seventh graders enjoy reading this story each year because of its play format. Students also learn sign language as they read the book. There is a part for everyone - boys, girls, large parts, and small ones too. In the middle of the second act, there are five pages of narration (the famous teaching Helen table manners scene). Instead of Reader's Theater, I have the students actually act this scene out. I assign a page of action to each small group; the girls play the roles of Anne and Helen, and the boys narrate the story as the girls duke it out. I've acquired a few costumes from the time period and the kids practice for a few periods before we videotape it. (Popcorn is a great substitute for the scrambled eggs.) This is something really fun to watch at Open House each year.
An interesting glimpse of the challenges, frustrations, and ultimate triumps of Annie Sullivan and the Keller family to educate Helen, who at a young age, became both deaf and blind. Gibson makes the characters of Helen and Annie complex and vivid. In addition, he shows the pain and conflicts of Helen's parents as they make decisions about raising their child in a time well before there were adequate facilities or rights for people with disabilities. A thought provoking drama about how some individuals face adversity with bravery and determination.
Drama (Play) MS or HS
Gibson, W. (1956). The miracle worker. New York: Bantam Books.
The Miracle Worker is a play about Helen Keller as a six-year-old girl who has been blind and deaf since the age of two. Her parents don't know what they can do to help her. They hire her a teacher from New York named Annie Sullivan, who she herself has been blind before. When Annie arrives she knows that Helen is capable of learning, but she faces so many challenges because Helen has been allowed to do whatever she wants for years. She is spoiled and undisciplined. After many battles, between Helen and Annie, Annie realizes that she cannot teach Helen when her parents continue to interfere and give her what she wants because they feel sorry for her. Annie demands that Helen be under her control only, so that Helen will have to depend on her for all of her needs. Helen's father, Captain Keller, is very reluctant in allowing Annie to have complete control over his daughter. He doesn't feel that what she is teaching makes any sense, especially to a girl who is blind and deaf. But the sign language is how Annie will get through to Helen, so that Helen can learn how to communicate with the world.
This play takes place in three acts. Even though Helen is a character without dialogue, Gibson's descriptions of her actions are clear and make it easy to visualize. The scenes transition easily and the elements of Annie's past are heard through distant voices as she daydreams. Hearing the voices represents an accurate reflection of her memory, considering she was blind at the time and would have no memory of a visual scene. This play is sure to interest young theater readers, as well as anyone else interested in the topic of Helen Keller. Grades 7-10.
I remember well my first introduction to Helen Keller. Unbeknownst to me, my mother had ordered a biography book for me from my second grade Scholastic book order. The day it arrived, I took it to my grandma's house after school, sat down with her, and started to read it. I was hooked instantly. Not too many years later, Grandma checked out the movie, "The Miracle Worker", with Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke, from the library so I could watch it. I remember fighting back tears in the end. It amazes me that it has taken me this long to read the play, and I loved it just as much as all of my Helen experiences.
It's been a long time since I've seen the movie, but I recognized many lines and description of actions in this play that I remember from the film. Though I don't have extensive experience in reading plays, I noticed how much more acting direction is given by Gibson compared to other plays I have read. This is completely necessary due to how many scenes are wordless and involve a lot of action between Helen and her teacher, Annie Sullivan. The action is described down to specific movements and facial expressions.
This play is appropriate for 7th grade and above, though I think, given the high emotion of the action, it would be better performed by high school students.

Twelve-year-old Helen Keller lived in a prison of silence and darkness. Born deaf, blind, and mute, with no way to express herself or comprehend those around her, she flew into primal rages against anyone who tried to help her, fighting tooth and nail with a strength born of furious, unknowing desperation.
Then Annie Sullivan came. Half-blind herself, but possessing an almost fanatical determination, she would begin a frightening and incredibly moving struggle to tame the wild girl no one could reach, and bring Helen into the world at last....

Customer Reviews
I LOVE this game ,But A FEW suggestions
so this game is very fun, addicting, and somewhat in someways challenging so I just think there should be a few suggestions. I think you should be able to do more., I also think you should be more somewhat educated about more things to eat in other words there should be more food in the selection of food I think this is a great game but those are just in the suggestions for me. I also think there should be just a little that kick should be something that makes the game more detail in other words I think you should be able to collect monsters, you should be able to have Coins, And you should be able to buy things to decorate the café this my suggestions but I love this game in other words so I really think that this game is great just how it is but I just think there should be more things to do sincerely Spiderella.
Kids love it
My little sister and all her friends are in love with this app. They could play for hours. This definatly keeps her busy during long car rides, and my brothers baseball and football games. There is a infinitive list of possibilities. There are many ingredients and lots of cooking tools in the world of toca kitchen monsters. My sister is constantly smiling, grinning, screaming with excitement, and laughing her pants off at the monsters reactions to her meals. Once again, Toca Boca has made another fantastic app for young kids like my little sister. All children will likely enjoy this game, weather they like playing restaurant, or just like monsters. If you know a child that likes monsters, cooking, and laughing, this is a good app for them, Keep up the good work toca.
Great for kids
I love this game. It is a nice game but I rated it four stars for a reason. I rated it like that because their is not a large variety. I understand that their is a version that you need to pay to get more. But at least they should have more food items. Also the blue monster when I try to give it broccoli it just falls and it sticks it's tongue out. Also I hear that their is a optional vegetarian mode. I have tried for days to activate this mode. I does not work. I do not see an option anywhere in the parent section. Where am I suppose to activate this mode. Please just make an easy button where you can add this. Also if you add this are their more vegetarian food items if you activate this mode. Add more food items and make it easier for me to put on vegetarian mode.

TELLURIDE '99 REVIEW: Toback's "Black and White," Wrongheadded, Confused and Awkward
by Margaret A. McGurk
James Toback obviously thought he was doing something daring and edgy when he went to work on "Black and White."
Turns out the riskiest thing he did was to ask Brooke Shields to improvise dialogue.
Although the cast includes some fine actors -- including Robert Downey Jr., Gaby Hoffman and Elijah Wood -- their efforts are sunk in the general wrong-headedness of the entire enterprise.
In his attempt to show rich white kids slumming in the world of rap music, with clothes, slang and attitudes to match, Toback manages to be both stereotypical and out of touch.
He trots out all the cliches of ghetto drama, from a chaotic club scene to a fatally bad cop (Ben Stiller). He pours on the ugliest aspects of gangsta rap as if violence and obscenity were proud gifts of African-American culture. He's got rappers yammering on about "keeping it real" but pays no mind to what is being kept or why. Only once does a character squeeze in the idea that, for many people who live in the poorest neighborhoods in the nation's big cities, rap represents everything they're trying to escape.
That comment hints at a key point that escapes Toback entirely: from the beginning, rap has connected more effectively with suburbanites, black and white, than with inner-city audiences. Also from the beginning, white kids have been at least as devoted to rap as black kids. The styles of speech and dress that cause such consternation to Toback's sheltered white parents (among them Marla Maples) are now ubiquitous throughout the nation. In any mall, any high school, any record store or video arcade, white kids dressed in low-slung jeans who call one another "nigga" can quote the lyrics from artists such as Wu-Tang Clan, who are featured in "Black and White."
For "Black and White" that means Toback is asking the audience -- at least the white audience -- to identify with a tiny group of rich people who have purchased a life of such racial isolation that they are horrified and confused when their children reflect black influences. Of course, most of them are also too ineffectual to discuss the matter in a meaningful way with the kids.
Toback's decision to allow the actors to improve much of the dialogue leads to a few provocative conversations, but just as often it leads to confusion and awkwardness, as does the casting of Mike Tyson as himself.
As is his wont, Toback includes a sex scene that had to be trimmed to keep the movie from ending up with an NC-17 rating. As in "Two Girls and a Guy" it mostly looks like a vertical wrestling match, this time outdoors. It doesn't add much to the story, but it offers a respite from all that improvising.
There is a story to be told about the vast, global influence of hip-hop music and style on youth culture. "Black and White" isn't it.

I don't live in Monmouth County anymore, but my parents do, and I visit them, and sometimes there are nifty things around here to photograph. So I'm going to add a couple unofficial not-updates (since OTDP is very clearly "no longer updating"). :)
After my last post (August 17, 2008), I moved to Chicago for two years, and then back to north Jersey. I'm still there, and I've been running New Providence Daily Photo for a year and a half (welllll... a little over a year). It's sort of the bastard stepsister of Monmouth County Daily Photo.
There's nothing like NOT living on the shore to make you appreciate it!
Is OTDP still on your RSS feed? Do you still even have an RSS feed? If so, how are you doing?
(FYI, I will probably not continue updates for this clone of the blog; for Jersey shore photo updates, check Monmouth County Daily Photo [on Wordpress] or New Jersey in Photos [on Tumblr].)

The railway between Alton and Knowle Junction, near Fareham, was a late-comer to the scene, not being opened until 1903. It ran through what was then (and still is) a very rural and sparsely inhabited part of the Hampshire countryside and it is little wonder that in 1955, long before Dr Beeching began to wield his axe, it succumbed to closure. The mystery is not why it closed but why it was ever built in the first place, and on such a grand scale.
Once passenger trains were withdrawn the section from Droxford to Farringdon, including the magnificent viaduct at West Meon, closed completely and was demolished the following year. Freight services continued at each end of the line – from Fareham to Droxford until 1962 and from Alton to Farringdon until 1968.
The section from Knowle Junction to Droxford was subsequently used to test an experimental railbus and Droxford also became the temporary home to a number of preserved steam locomotives and carriages for a while, but all this activity ceased by 1973 and the track was lifted. The section south of West Meon is owned by Hampshire County Council and survives intact as the Meon Valley Railway Path.
The trackbed survives in a good state for the 11 miles from Knowle Junction to West Meon though the stretch between Wickham and Knowle Junction is currently a dead-end bridleway.
North of West Meon station the viaduct was demolished in 1956 isolating the section of trackbed leading to the tunnel, which is privately owned. Much of the cutting at the north end of the tunnel has been filled in but a massive embankment, through which the A272 passes in a tunnel, survives near West Meon Hut. Privett Tunnel was used for a while for growing mushrooms and the stations at Privett and Tisted are privately owned. Much of this part of the line was sold to neighbouring landowners, who removed some of the embankments and filled in cuttings. A long section of embankment was also removed to straighten an awkward S-bend where the A32 passed under the line at Hedge Corner. In a few places, though, short lengths of footpaths and bridleways run next to (but not actually on) the railway.
The site of the railway at Farringdon is clearly identifiable and a footpath runs northwards along the trackbed to near Chawton. However, the final stretch of the line was demolished without trace when the A31 Alton Bypass was built – the roundabout where the A31 and A32 meet lies on its course. A very short length of line remains at Butts Junction and is now owned by the preserved Mid-Hants Railway which runs the adjacent Alton to Alresford line.
The station site at Wickham is slightly to the north of the town and to avoid the built-up area the line crossed briefly over to the east bank of the River Meon, for which two substantial bridges were needed. Once clear of the town the line heads south-west, before curving round to the south to join the Eastleigh-Fareham line at Knowle Junction.
The path crosses a golf course, where it now occupies only a narrow part of the original trackbed, before entering a cutting in which passes under a bridge and approaching Knowle Junction on an embankment. Here the bridleway comes to a dead-end at a fence as the electrified railway line ahead is very much in use. The viaduct beyond the junction has a empty space where the Meon Valley track used to run, but it has not yet proved possible to extend the bridleway to connect up with another disused length of railway into Fareham, although it is hoped to do so in the near future. In the meantime, there is no alternative but to head back to Wickham.
The line soon passes over an 'occupation' bridge – a bridge provided by the railway company when the building of a railway severed a farmer's land-holding – and then crosses the river once more, before passing under a brick arch bridge carrying the road to Kingsmead. There is access to the path from this bridge, as at many others on the line. 600 yards further on the line passes under the A32, then under another bridge as it approaches Mislingford, with old railway cottages on the right. On the left is the site of Mislingford sidings and also a large timber yard and a waterworks. A concrete loading gauge survives at the exit from the sidings as does a platelayers' hut concealed in the undergrowth.
The cutting beyond Mislingford was dug through clay and gave a lot of trouble when the line was being built and later. The trackbed is raised above the bottom of the cutting to help improve the drainage. A little further on a steel girder bridge carries the lane to Soberton Mill over the line.
Along the next stretch there are a couple of bridges under the line after which there are good views towards the west across the river valley. The line runs along quite a high embankment with the river immediately on the left as it crosses another trackway, climbing all the while. It then enters a cutting, curving gently to the right and continuing under another steel girder bridge as it passes the village of Soberton.
A stretch of broad embankment follows before the path turns left onto the site of the old siding at Droxford. There are still remains of old sleepers in the ground, making for a somewhat bumpy ride. The line then passes under a concrete-arch bridge and the path soon veers to the left around the site of Droxford station, which is in private ownership and has been beautifully restored. A gate leads out onto the station approach road.
The trail heads north from Droxford through a deep, half-mile long cutting, which can be muddy after wet weather. A short stretch of broad, drier embankment follows, but then the trail dives into another cutting in which it passes under a brick-built road bridge. Just beyond the bridge there is an entrance from the road on the left. This is a convenient place to leave the trail to reach the tiny village of Meonstoke, if you wish to do so.
Meonstoke is one of three villages clustered together in the valley, each no more than half a mile from the next, the others being Corhampton and Exton. Amazingly, each has its own church and, since the one in Meonstoke is on the edge of the village, in the meadows down by the river, it is barely 200 yards from that in Corhampton. The one in Meonstoke dates from the 13th century, but the unusual timber top to its tower was only added in 1901. Often described as 'incongruous', it gives a Welsh look to the building. Corhampton church, on the other hand, is a late-Saxon building, dating from about 1020, more than 40 years before William the Conqueror landed at Hastings. However, the east wall (the one which faces the road) is brick, built in 1885, after the original collapsed. Exton village is a little further away, but well worth a detour to visit. You can reach it from Corhampton or from further up the railway trail.
A short way on, a new wooden bridge carries the trail over a footpath, and about 400 yards after that it passes under another road bridge. (You can also reach Meonstoke by leaving the trail here, using the steps up to the road.) The trail runs out onto a long embankment now. In summer the trees which have grown up along the sides of the line can mask the view, but if you come in winter you can enjoy the marvellous views to the right up the valley between Old Winchester Hill and West End Down. It's a pity that the council do not carry out some judicious thinning of the scrubby trees to allow users of the trail to better enjoy the beautiful scenery through which it runs.
Before long the path veers to the right down the side of the embankment. A low bridge over a road has been removed and the trail is forced to descend to the level of the road to cross it. On either side of the road obstacles have been provided to prevent motorcyclists gaining access to the trail, and you will need to carry your bike through them. (They also have the regrettable effect of excluding wheelchair users from the trail.) The road itself can flood after very wet weather, and you may find yourself riding through several inches of water to cross over! (If you want to reach the village of Exton, turn left under the bridge then left again at the junction just beyond. When you come to the A32 turn right, then left.)
On the far side of the road the path runs back up onto the embankment. As you continue along the trail you can see that, although the embankment was only built to carry a single track railway, enough land was bought in places to enable it to be doubled if required. The trail has a firm bottom but years of leaf fall has produced a fair depth of mud on top of it, which is another good reason for thinning the lineside trees. If it's wet you're generally better off riding through the puddles. The council have thoughtfully provided a small seat. overlooking Beacon Hill, on the left, a substantial mound of a hill with a steep scarp slope on its northern side. It's becoming obvious by now that the trail is climbing steadily towards the Downs ahead. The gradient may be only about 1 in 100, but it's noticeable, nevertheless.
The embankment becomes quite broad as you continue on. A brick bridge carries the trail over a stream and a footpath crosses the old railway. A couple of occupation bridges follow. The long embankment continues, still gradually climbing, until it comes to another missing bridge. Once again, the trail descends to cross a tiny lane. On the far side the embankment stands high above the surrounding countryside and follows a dead straight line for half a mile.
At the end of the embankment the trail crosses another occupation bridge and enters a deep, narrow cutting – there have obviously been several chalk falls over the years since the railway closed. Conditions in the cutting can be bad after very wet weather, and it can be hard work getting through. A tall bridge with a concrete arch passes overhead, carrying the road to Warnford, known as Hayden Lane; a path leads up to the road on the left a short way beyond the bridge. Warnford is best known to travellers on the A32 for its bends in the road, its spacious coaching inn (the George and Falcon), and its watercress beds, fed with water from wells dug deep into the chalk. But there's more to the village than this, most of it away from the main road, if you have the time to spare.
To reach the village church, head south from the pub, past the watercress beds, then watch for an entrance on the left into Warnford Park. A right of way (on foot only) leads through the park to the church, crossing the river by an ornamental bridge. The original church on the site is said to have been built in the time of St Wilfrid, who converted the 7th century people of the Meon Valley. An inscription notes that it 'was repaired and added to' by Adam de Port, who was Lord of the Manor of Warnford from 1171 to 1213. The tower, built in about 1175, has something of the look of a Norman castle keep about it. Behind the church are the remains of 'King John's House', in reality a 13th century house that was once owned by the St John family. Warnford House, which stood in the centre of the park, was described as a 'plain and rather dilapidated mansion'. It was a demolished in 1956.
From Meonstoke to the Hayden Lane bridge the railway was laid on sleepers made of concrete and, when the line was closed, the sleepers were recovered and used to build a jetty on the River Hamble. Eventually the deep cutting ends and the trail runs along another high embankment with Brocklands Farm on the left. The embankment ends as the trail enters the broad cutting in which West Meon station once stood. The old platforms can be seen ahead on the right, but the trail veers to the left to end in the car park.
The site of West Meon station amply illustrates the folly that was the Meon Valley Railway. The substantial station buildings and the brick-built signalbox have long since disappeared, but the 600-feet long platforms remain. The spacious goods yard can easily be identified; in latter years the council have used it to store materials for road repairs. It may have occupied a large area, but it only ever had two sidings and a loading dock, although no fewer than three coal merchants were based there.
A wooden footbridge originally linked the two platforms but it didn't last long. Rather than replace it, the company put in a foot crossing over the line instead, which was reached by a curious dip in the platforms near their southern ends – it's still there today. West Meon was the only station on the line to provide water for steam locomotives. The supply came from a deep well which fed a water tank near the railway cottages just up from the road bridge.
The Act of Parliament which authorised the building of the railway required that a station be provided at West Meon when the line opened and for ever thereafter, so the closure of the line was technically illegal and could have been delayed, as happened on the Bluebell line in Sussex, until another Act of Parliament could be obtained to authorise the closure.
Unlike most other railway paths, this one seems to have had little work done on it to convert it to its new role. As a result, although much of it is in very good condition, parts can be exceptionally muddy and occasionally hard work after wet weather, so a mountain bike is a must for this ride. Having said that, it's a very worthwhile trip. The great pity is that it isn't possible to continue further north. Other local authorities have overcome greater obstacles to revive old railway lines. Is it too much to hope that Hampshire might be able to do the same?
To return to Wickham you can either retrace your steps along the railway line or there are some delightful downland lanes to discover to the east of the railway line.
These two books give more of an insight into the building, operation and closure of this fascinating railway.
The colour photographs on this page have been borrowed with thanks from Hampshire Cam.
You can either follow through the pages in sequence or go back to pick another route from the list of the old railway routes I've used.

MindTree, a $191 million company with close to 8,000 employees who do work for clients all over the world, is a firm believer in cross-cultural training. That includes exposing Indian expats to how people work and play in the countries where they're stationed, says Anish Philip, people function associate director at the company's U.S. headquarters in Warren, New Jersey.
Indian-based MindTree represents the flip side of the expat training that U.S. companies give their own employees before overseas assignments. But the actual training itself it pretty similar.
About 500 of MindTree's employees—the company calls them "minds"—are stationed in the U.S. at any given time working as project managers, sales representatives and account troubleshooters for clients such as Microsoft and eBay.
Before leaving for an assignment, MindTree puts its Indian expats through cultural training sessions run by fellow employees who have already lived and worked in the U.S., covering everything from the documentation they'll need to the proper way to speak to people.
Employees get even more training once they've relocated. When MindTree signed a $6 million contract with CIT, a financial services conglomerate based in Livingston, New Jersey, about a year ago, the company moved about two dozen people from Bangalore to work on the account.
Upon their arrival, the Indian employees went through a daylong training session with their CIT counterparts. Then it was off to that Yankees game for some bonding time with CIT staff. In addition to giving Indians workers a clue about what makes U.S. workers tick, socializing "created involvement and engagement in the team from both sides," Philip says.
MindTree's cultural training process goes both ways. MindTree encourages prospective clients to come to India "so they can get a feel of what the company is all about," Philip says.
Americans hired to work in MindTree's U.S. offices go to India for a couple weeks so they feel like part of the team there. "If they don't have the connection to how Bangalore looks," Philip says, "they wouldn't be doing their jobs as passionately."

Teen Mom 3
Teen Mom 3's Briana Dejesus Teases a Huge Secret!
Secrets, secrets are no fun — but that isn't stopping Teen Mom 3's Briana Dejesus from holding one over her fans! This sweet girl next door loves nothing more than taking it to Twitter to dish her feelings (and by "feelings" we mean her love for Chipotle), but her latest tweets have us on the edge of our seats! Briana has a huge surprise that she's itching to share with her fleet of faithful followers, but her lips are officially sealed.
"Have a BIG surprise for you guys coming soon! Stay tuned to find out," she tweeted on November 5, adding "I don't know if I can hold in this secret any longer."
Naturally, fans are taking Briana's twitter by storm with their theories, but we're thinking there are only a few viable options. And no, Briana is definitely not pregnant — she isn't even dating right now!
So, what could Briana's big secret be? It's possible that MTV has given a second season of Teen Mom 3 the green light and Briana isn't allowed to announce it yet. It's also possible that she's been handed a breakout show –– kind of like Being Maci starring Maci Bookout! Either way, Briana's secret almost certainly has to do with her career in Tinsel Town, and we can't wait to find out what it is! Sharing is caring, girl.
What do you think Briana's huge surprise is? Take it to the comments and dish your thoughts and theories! Who knows, maybe she'll blow us all away by announcing that she's starring in a sex tape with James Deen. Oh, wait — Farrah Abraham already did that.
