Hi there! here it is the lyrics we talked about while we were reading the play "A Taste of Honey", when Jo starts to sing that song but with another ending :P.
There is a song by Nirvana which is called "Where did you sleep last night" that says the same thing " In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through" but it talks about another matter that doesn't have anything to do with Dolly's Parton version and the one that appears on the play.


In the pines by Dolly Parton.

In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
And you shiver when the cold wind blows
My love, my love, what have I done
To make you treat me so
You've caused me to weep, you've caused me to mourn
You've caused me to leave my home

In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
And you shiver when the cold wind blows

The longest train I ever saw
Went down that Georgia Line
The engine passed at six o'clock
The caboose went by at nine

In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
And you shiver when the cold wind blows

I asked my captain for the time of day
He said he throwed his watch away

In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
And you shiver when the cold wind blows

Invoice or Bill?

Hi all!
In response to Candi's request last week as to the difference between bill and invoice, here is a briefing of what I've found:


An invoice is a bill. It is a list of goods or services provided, itemised and individually priced. There is a total amount due at the bottom. The prices shown are gross, and there may be deductions or additions at the bottom for discounts and or taxes. It is a request for payment.
These two words are generally used interchangeably.

These are the translations:
invoice: [ˈɪnvɔɪs]
1. (comercio) factura (f)
to make out an invoice -> extender or hacer una factura
verbo transitivo
3. facturar (goods); mandar la factura a (person, company)


bill [bɪl] 1. cuenta (f) (in restaurant); factura (f) (for goods, services)
bill of exchange (finanzas) -> letra (f) de cambio
2. billete (m) (banknote) (Estados Unidos)
verbo transitivo
3. pasar (la) factura a (give invoice to)


So then, they are the same when talking about business dealings, but bill is also used in reference to services (gas, water supply, electricity, etc)
Hope this has helped,

another great lyric

http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/nineinchnails/eraser.html

and the last song, it`s from the record "Year Zero", the main theme of the CD talks about how life will be in the next years, and how f*** up the world will be if we go on acting this way (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr8FXnur5Z4 here it`s and interview with Trent Reznor about the CD), this lyric, for what i understand talks about a strange force that comes to erase the world because of humans` atitude, it`s an anthem xD

"A taste of Honey"

As regards to the play that we are reading " A taste of honey" i found several videos on youtube, here it is the link of one of the videos i found suitable to show since the others have scenes which have unknown content (because we haven't reached that part and i really got upset when i saw them ¬¬)

In this short video it appears Jo at her school. She talks to some of her classmates and then she go to her house. I hope you like it. ^^




When Shelagh Delaney began working on A Taste of Honey, she intended the material to be a novel; but instead, in what has become a very famous story, Delaney became disgusted at the lack of substance found in plays currently being produced for the stage and decided to rework her fledgling novel into a play. It took her two weeks. A Taste of Honey opened at the Theatre Royal, Stratford East in London on May 27, 1958. On February 10, 1959, Delaney's play moved to Wyndham's Theatre in London's West End, and on October 4, 1960, the play opened on Broadway at New York City's Lyceum Theatre. Delaney's play opened to mixed reviews.
In many cases, her characters were praised for their honest, realistic voices. The play was also singled out for its accurate depictions of working class lives. Yet there was also concern that too much praise for the play's nineteen-year-old author would make it difficult for her to ever create another hit play, the theory being that early success might prove so intimidating that she could never live up to her first accomplishment. In a sense, this is what happened, since Delaney never wrote another play that achieved the success of A Taste of Honey. However, this first play did earn several awards, including the Charles Henry Foyle New Play award in 1958 and the New York Drama Critics Award in 1961. The film version won the British Academy Award for best picture in 1961 and a best supporting actress award for Dora Bryan. The film also won two additional awards at the Cannes Film Festival in 1962 for best actor (Murray Melvin) and best actress (Rita Tushingham). Much of the credit for the play's success is attributed to Joan Littlewood, whose experimental Theatre Workshop first received and produced the play.

Trent Reznor and PETA

here i post the link of a video with Trent Rezor, who is the only "permanent" member of nine inch nails, in a PETA`s video. PETA is an organization that protects animals( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PETA). In This Video PETA shows how animals are trated for their fur, it`s a bito shocking but i think you wll be ale to watch it:
