“Okay, Herb, bring in your intro, ready on the horns. One, two... One, two!” Beatense sang the piece a few times, but her voice sounded too cynically jaded to succumb to a desolate heart. She then sang Papa Say Do No Do six times. “Ah, yes-yes, marvelous. But we need a more peppy tone, Miss Colwell.” “Well, this is the way I sing. Don’t you have any morbid songs I can do?” “Benton, give her Hey, Don’t Wake Me Up! Herb? From the top.” Beatense began to worry about the sun out there. This was ridiculous. Why all this horsing around? She hated how people could be so content to be pale. Under mounting high stress, she sang Hey, Don’t sounding like she didn’t care either way. Her weary sad voice put a new twist into this lighthearted tune, giving it a cheap slum hotel and broken hopes pathos that was haunting. Maverick was booked for any possible recordings, but this was a take. She signed the papers and left at noon with a surprising $20,000. First the bank, then a far too delayed hot bake.

Tom Taylor was one of the most successful and popular playwrights of the Victorian theatre. His plays are humorous and theatrically powerful, showing a social concern that was advanced for his times - particularly on matters such as the rehabilitation of criminals and corruption in public life. Taylor's work at the bar, in the civil service, and as a journalist and art critic inspired themes which he dramatized in more than seventy plays. Four of the best known are collected in this volume, the only edition of Taylor's works available. They are Still Waters Run Deep (1855), The Contested Election (1859), The Overland Route (1860) and the most popular, revived in modern productions at the National Theatre and the Victoria Theatre in Stoke, The Ticket-of-Leave Man (1863). Martin Banham discusses these and others in his introduction, and lists the original London cast at the beginning of each play. He provides a biographical record of Taylor's life and a list of all the principal plays. There are illustrations and a bibliography.

Hollywood mega-star Darian Fable is making a daring escape from his celebrity shackles. Fueled by a fervent ambition to exorcise his torturous childhood, Fable, formerly known as David Faulkner, scales the treacherous heights of the movie business to become Hollywood's golden boy. Collecting Oscars and commanding an A-list salary, Darian is surrounded by sniveling studio executives, seedy agents, and intrusive reporters who ravenously leech his talent, fame, and fortune. Haunted by his formative years on Chicago's South Side under the oppressive rule of an abusive father and aunt, the entertainment emperor pines for a family life and friends he can trust. As Hollywood gasps, Darian relinquishes his throne and disappears with his entertainment mogul wife for a quiet existence in the Connecticut hills. A sensational news story unfolds as his decision to abandon stardom produces a turbulent chain of events, threatening the careers of the entertainment industry's most powerful people. Even in seclusion, Darian is under intense scrutiny and in grave danger as the former star is hunted by vengeful studio executives, vulturous paparazzi, and his shadowy past.

Thinking Themselves Free written by Cynthia Miller Coffel and has been published by Peter Lang this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2011 with Teenage mothers categories.
Thinking Themselves Free presents humane, tender portraits of a small group of teen mothers trying to finish high school, and describes the ways in which reading, writing, and schooling shaped these young women's lives. The book suggests ways in which deeply held ideas about class, appropriate gender roles, and the expression of emotion in school affect educators' relationships with students who are different from the middle-class norm. Teachers of teen mothers describe with poignancy the young women's struggles to balance motherhood, work, and school, and suggest how schools could change to become more open to the diversity of life choice these women express. Because this book addresses the problems of struggling readers, working class students, and the teachers who serve them, its greatest audience will be among pre-service and in-service teachers and teacher educators interested in literacy education, qualitative research, education reform, gender equity, social justice, and the teaching of young adult literature.

Tiki torches, cocktails, la dolce vita, and the music that popularized them—Mondo Exotica offers a behind-the-scenes look at the sounds and obsessions of the Space Age and Cold War period as well as the renewed interest in them evident in contemporary music and design. The music journalist and radio host Francesco Adinolfi provides extraordinary detail about artists, songs, albums, and soundtracks, while also presenting an incisive analysis of the ethnic and cultural stereotypes embodied in exotica and related genres. In this encyclopedic account of films, books, TV programs, mixed drinks, and above all music, he balances a respect for exotica’s artistic innovations with a critical assessment of what its popularity says about postwar society in the United States and Europe, and what its revival implies today. Adinolfi interviewed a number of exotica greats, and Mondo Exotica incorporates material from his interviews with Martin Denny, Esquivel, the Italian film composers Piero Piccioni and Piero Umiliani, and others. It begins with an extended look at the postwar popularity of exotica in the United States. Adinolfi describes how American bachelors and suburbanites embraced the Polynesian god Tiki as a symbol of escape and sexual liberation; how Les Baxter’s album Ritual of the Savage (1951) ushered in the exotica music craze; and how Martin Denny’s Exotica built on that craze, hitting number one in 1957. Adinolfi chronicles the popularity of performers from Yma Sumac, “the Peruvian Nightingale,” to Esquivel, who was described by Variety as “the Mexican Duke Ellington,” to the chanteuses Eartha Kitt, Julie London, and Ann-Margret. He explores exotica’s many sub-genres, including mood music, crime jazz, and spy music. Turning to Italy, he reconstructs the postwar years of la dolce vita, explaining how budget spy films, spaghetti westerns, soft-core porn movies, and other genres demonstrated an attraction to the foreign. Mondo Exotica includes a discography of albums, compilations, and remixes.

All is lost for the young poet until an old man shows up in his life. Could the old man make things better for Ghabaei? Or, could he actually make things worse than they already are?
