Thanks But No Thanks by Sandy Oppenheimer,Sue Katz,Stephen Windwalker Pdf
Within hours of the stunning announcement of Sarah Palin as Senator John McCain's surprise Republican running mate, journalists, activists, and ordinary concerned citizens began to research Palin's biography, public statements, and political background. Sue Katz' Thanks But No Thanks: The Voter's Guide to Sarah Palin is the product of the best of that research and weaves the personal and the political together in a compelling, thematic presentation of what Americans should expect if Palin is elected either in 2008 or as President in 2012. Katz engages Sarah Palin and her record relentlessly on issues such as the economic crisis, foreign policy, human rights, gender issues, and honesty in government. Also included as handy references for voters and debate-watchers: a year-by-year chronology of key events in Palin's life; a detailed history of Palin's performance in past elections; and the full text of her acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.
Author : E. E. Cummings Publisher : W. W. Norton & Company Page : 97 pages File Size : 45,6 Mb Release : 1998-12-17 Category : Poetry ISBN : 9780871403957
Reissued in an edition newly offset from the authoritative Complete Poems 1904-1962, edited by George James Firmage. E. E. Cummings, along with Pound, Eliot, and Williams, helped bring about the twentieth-century revolution in literary expression. He is recognized as the author of some of the most beautiful lyric poems written in the English language and also as one of the most inventive American poets of his time. Fresh and candid, by turns earthy, tender, defiant, and romantic, Cummings's poems celebrate the uniqueness of each individual, the need to protest the dehumanizing force of organizations, and the exuberant power of love. No Thanks was first published in 1935; although Cummings was by then in mid-career, he had still not achieved recognition, and the title refers ironically to publishers' rejections. No Thanks contains some of Cummings's most daring literary experiments, and it represents most fully his view of life—romantic individualism. The poems celebrate an openly felt response to the beauties of the natural world, and they give first place to love, especially sexual love, in all its manifestations. The volume includes such favorites as "sonnet entitled how to run the world)," "may I feel said he," "Jehovah buried. Satan dead," "be of love (a little)," and the now-famous grasshopper poem.

High Yellow...But a Black Woman Forever More! by Deborah Cofer Pdf
"Boy, has this been one heck of a spiritual journey! Little did I know that the path leading to the Kingdom of God would take me into and through the bowels of hell, but I made it.there and back. All I can say is thank God for God, His goodness, grace and mercy." -From the Introduction to "High Yellow".But A Black Woman Forever More! A Poetic Anthology of a Spiritual Journey It is said that to know one's self is the key to reaching new horizons and maximizing human potential-and it's true. But, truly knowing one's self without knowing one's spiritual identity is akin to a person who is physically blind driving a car. It's absolutely impossible. In "High Yellow".But A Black Woman Forever More! A Poetic Anthology of a Spiritual Journey, author Deborah M. Cofer highlights her efforts and sacrifices as she explores her inner self, others, and the world around her. Every poem is its own unique story of "bringing to the surface, hashing out, understanding, and making peace with" struggle in order to arrive at new heights in her evolution, both as a woman and as a member of the human race. Cofer's poetic accounts are both powerful and deeply profound.
“Rachel Macy Stafford's post "The Day I Stopped Saying Hurry Up" was a true phenomenon on The Huffington Post, igniting countless conversations online and off about freeing ourselves from the vicious cycle of keeping up with our overstuffed agendas. Hands Free Mama has the power to keep that conversation going and remind us that we must not let our lives pass us by.” --Arianna Huffington, Chair, President, and Editor-in-Chief of the Huffington Post Media Group, nationally syndicated columnist, and author of thirteen books http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ DISCOVER THE POWER, JOY, AND LOVE of Living “Hands Free” If technology is the new addiction, then multi-tasking is the new marching order. We check our email while cooking dinner, send a text while bathing the kids, and spend more time looking into electronic screens than into the eyes of our loved ones. With our never-ending to-do lists and jam-packed schedules, it’s no wonder we’re distracted. But this isn’t the way it has to be. In July 2010, special education teacher and mother Rachel Macy Stafford decided enough was enough. Tired of losing track of what matters most in life, Rachel began practicing simple strategies that enabled her to momentarily let go of largely meaningless distractions and engage in meaningful soul-to-soul connections. She started a blog to chronicle her endeavors and soon saw how both external and internal distractions had been sabotaging her happiness and preventing her from bonding with the people she loves most. Hands Free Mama is the digital society’s answer to finding balance in a media-saturated, perfection-obsessed world. It doesn’t mean giving up all technology forever. It doesn’t mean forgoing our jobs and responsibilities. What it does mean is seizing the little moments that life offers us to engage in real and meaningful interaction. It means looking our loved ones in the eye and giving them the gift of our undivided attention, leaving the laundry till later to dance with our kids in the rain, and living a present, authentic, and intentional life despite a world full of distractions. So join Rachel and go hands-free. Discover what happens when you choose to open your heart—and your hands—to the possibilities of each God-given moment.
Thanks and No Thanks MR Hitler! the Dorothy Odam-Tyler Story by Mike Fleet Pdf
This is the fascinating story of Dorothy Odam-Tyler, quadruple Olympian and twice high jump silver medallist, in both 1936 and 1948, with the same height as cleared by the winner. 16-year-old Dorothy Odam was inspired by the spectacular Nazi Olympics in Berlin, before the cruel intervention of World War Two, which wrote off the Games of 1940 and 1944 when the maturing Dorothy might reasonably have been expected to challenge for gold. Returning to serious competition in 1948 as a young mother, Dorothy capitalised on the home Olympic opportunity, when London was offered and accepted as host city, with the athletics events being staged at the impressive ready-made Wembley Stadium Dorothy's story moves from her junior school tomboy days, to precocious teenage triumphs, the daunting war years when sport went virtually on hold, to a delayed, long and finally very successful senior career. Later, Dorothy took to coaching with enthusiasm and did much to help her beloved Mitcham AC develop. She worked as an unpaid technical athletics official, and she also acted as team manager, accompanying British athletes abroad on several occasions. When her serious athletics career finished she worked in two schools, predominantly as a games teacher. Later in retirement, Dorothy joined husband Dick at the Croham Hurst Club in South Croydon to become a keen and successful golfer. National recognition came in 2000 when she was awarded an MBE, which she felt was long overdue, a view she claimed to have confided to Prince Charles during the investiture. Really she felt that she deserved to have made a Dame, a view which she expressed to many listeners in the years that followed. To say that she was an extremely interesting character would be the understatement of the century. WHAT THE REVIEWERS SAID MARY RAND MBE, 1964 TOKYO OLYMPIC PENTATHLON, GOLD What a great read. I thoroughly enjoyed it! I remember Dorothy very well, but did not really know her, as I was that much younger. I had no idea what an incredible all-round athlete she was (The ignorance of the young!) It was also nice to see how much she gave back to the sport. A fantastic job, with all the incredible details and her strong personality captured. She more than deserved to have her story told. I think Dorothy would be thrilled with the end result. This book does her proud!! I hope athletes of today reading it will appreciate how tough you had to be with the conditions available back then. DAME MARY PETERS CH, 1972 MUNICH OLYMPIC PENTATHLON, GOLD I commend Mike Fleet for writing the story of Dorothy Odam-Tyler as a record of a great athlete of her time, who should never be forgotten. I met her a couple of times, and she was certainly quite a character. On one occasion, when she was the manager of a small British team competing in Germany, she was the life and soul of the party and quite flirty! ISOBEL POOLEY, 2014 COMMONWEALTH GAMES HIGH JUMP SILVER, BRITISH OUTDOOR RECORD HOLDER 1.96M. I was fascinated to read Dorothy's biography. She is truly an inspirational figure. I had previously heard a lot about her, but never had the full story. This is an enthralling, well researched account and is enriched by Mike's enthusiasm for athletic facts and details. It is quite funny in places, and gives an eye-opening insight into what the life of an athlete was like in those days. In particular, in contrast to today's jet setting, the travel to competition abroad was unbelievably time-consuming. I hope I can replicate a fraction of Dorothy's incredible success in the modern arena, and win some more medals for team GB.

Through eight humorous essays, Keturah Kendrick chronicles her journey to freedom. She shares the stories of other women who have freed themselves from the narrow definition of what makes a “proper woman.” Spotlighting the cultural bullying that dictates women must become mothers to the expectation that one’s spiritual path follow the traditions of previous generations, Kendrick imagines a world where black women make life choices that center on their needs and desires. She also examines the rising trend of women choosing to remain single and explores how such a choice is the antithesis to the trope of the sorrowful black woman who cannot find a man to grant her the prize of legal partnership. A mixture of memoir and cultural critique, No Thanks uses wit and insight to paint a picture of the twenty-first-century black woman who has unchained herself from what she is supposed to be. A black woman who has given herself permission to be whomever she wants to be.
