Helen Keller meets her miracle worker. Anne Sullivan begins teaching six-year-old Helen Keller, who lost her sight and hearing after a severe illness at the age of 19 months. Under Sullivan's tutelage, including her pioneering "touch teaching" techniques, the previously uncontrollable Keller flourished, eventually graduating from college and becoming an international lecturer and activist. Sullivan, later dubbed "the miracle worker," remained Keller's interpreter and constant companion until the older woman's death in 1936.
Just tell them how you feel: many women like is a determined man. Everyday is valentines day.

Be seductive: there is nothing more powerful to conquer a woman than seduction, learn all the clues of seduction, use anything to send all kinds of signals and then act. Sometimes we get to search by all sides as falling in love with a woman and the answer has always been inside ourselves.

Big snow storms in March for The Big Apple are unusual. As we know, any snowstorm in the last two winters is a rarity.
But, there is more and more evidence that a storm that formed in the Midwest moves closer to to the East Coast and the forecast of what impact that storm MAY have on us is still very uncertain.
We can expect scattered snow showers tonight, then a chance for flurries. Cloudy, with a low around 30. Northwest wind 9 to 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
Today was "National Day of Unplugging," and chances are when you woke up this morning one of the very first things you did was reach for your I pad, smart phone, or sit down at your computer to check your in box e-mail messages, LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter.
Too many folks seem to spend much of their waking lives tethered to technology, but today was a chance to disconnect.
Recent surveys find that no-mobile-phobia causes panic in most, and that 58 percent of US can't live without our cell phones for more than an hour. Does this sound like you?

The following six tips can help you take care of your neck.
Everyday life isn’t kind to the neck. You may be all too familiar with that crick you get when you cradle the phone between your shoulder and ear, or the strain you feel after working at your computer.

TONIGHT - The City Island Theater Group is pleased to open its 2013 season with the classic Tennessee Williams drama THE GLASS MENAGERIE.
This American masterpiece announced the presence of one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th Century. Williams’ semi-autobiographical heartbreaking yet often humorous memory play about a young struggling poet and his tenuous relationships with his overbearing mother and his fragile sister is an emotionally charged portrait of hope in 1930s St. Louis that is timeless in its ability to capture the imagination and hearts of audiences.
