Where is My Frog? (We Read Phonics: Level 2)Publisher: Treasure Bay, Inc., Novato, CA
A Pet Frog is on the loose, creating havoc wherever he hops! This story offers non-stop fun and excitement, as a boy chases the frog from one crazy mishap to the next. We Read Phonics makes it easy for parents to help their children improve phonics skills and read a decodable story. Each book combines a fun story with simple games for phonics and sight words. LEVEL 2 - 90-110 word count, adds short "e", short "o", and short "u"
5.0 out of 5 stars
Especially appropriate for inculcating a love of reading, June 19, 2010 By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
Reviewer: Susan Borges
This is a wonderful book for beginning readers. It is a humorous story about Ben, a pet frog who is on the loose, hopping from here to there, and leaving a trail of chaos in his path. An endearing young boy follows Ben as he hops from a car to the mud to a jar and safely into bed. Luckily, all ends well for Ben the frog and young readers will be entertained by this funny story, which is simple, direct, humorous, and captivating. The large-print text is predictable, repetitive, and familiar. Humorous, brightly colored illustrations of Ben the frog and the young boy who chases him accompany each page of text, and the expressive engaging illustrations fully support the meaning of the story. There is one line of text on each page and most of the one-syllable words contain the short e, u, or o vowel sound such as tent, tub, and hop. Repeated use of a few high frequency words such as down, my, and where make this text accessible for beginning readers.
Bugs on the Bus (We Read Phonics: Level 2)
Jack is bringing a jar of bugs to school. Unfortunately, the jar breaks on the bus and all the bugs escape! The result is a very wild ride in this story filled with lots of humor and lots of flying bugs! We Read Phonics makes it easy for parents to help their children improve phonics skills and read a decodable story. Each book combines a fun story with simple games for phonics and sight words. LEVEL 2 - 90-110 word count, adds short "e", short "o", and short "u"

This is a wonderful book for beginning readers. It is a humorous story about Jack and the experience he has when he brings a jar of bugs on the bus headed for school one morning. When the bus hits a bump, the chaos begins! Bugs fly out of the broken jar and go in every direction, causing quite a big fuss! Young readers will be captivated by the drama of the flying bugs and they will be entertained by this funny story, which is simple, direct, humorous, and engaging. The large-print text is predictable, repetitive, and familiar. Humorous, brightly colored illustrations of Jack, his classmates, and the swarming bugs accompany each page of text and the expressive detailed illustrations fully support the meaning of the story.
Ant in Her Pants (We Read Phonics: Level 3)
Treasure Bay, Inc.,

What if an ant got in your pants? Would it drive you crazy? An odd little ant causes a lot of craziness in this very funny book that will leave beginning readers smiling. We Read Phonics makes it easy for parents to help their children improve phonics skills and read a decodable story. Each book combines a fun story with simple games for phonics and sight words.

Reviewer: Kathy Leggett
The thought of what might happen if one actually found an ant in his or her pants turns to actuality in this laugh-out-loud Level 3 "We Read Phonics" title, which will quickly draw emerging readers. The rhythm and the rhyme bring a new adventure on each page as Miss Grant jumps and runs and even rolls in the mud in her attempt to get the ant. Readers will roar with laughter when the ant tries to toast a marshmallow in her pants. This publisher is a current leader in the area of parent involvement in reading. With this series they merge a book physically perfect for early readers with a comprehensive guide for parents. The extra-large font size, expanded spacing, and one short sentence per page assist the reader while parents are guided on how to interact with their child and involve them in simple rhyming games. The activities require no extra supplies, and each encourages young readers to think about letters and sounds and how they work in words. In the early stages of reading development, placing the right books in the hands of the reader at the right time is often the key to success and growth. This combination of the right book along with an easy-to-follow parent guide to provide just the right support offers an ideal situation for the emerging reader. This series is sure to make its way into classrooms and reading programs everywhere. It is an ideal book for the developing reader who wants to read independently, but it needs additional support at the same time.

Students love these poems! November 30, 2009 By T. Judd
My third grade students love all of Bruce Lansky's poem books. The books are invaluable because not only do they expose the children to poetry, but the students find them so funny that they want to read them over and over. The humor is often cheesy and lowbrow however the kids can relate to the topics.
Dinner with Dracula
(NOTE: Reprinted by Scholastic, 2009) Publisher: Meadowbrook Press, Minnetonka, MN 2006
"Dinner with Dracula," is a hilarious collection of scary, spooky, spine-tingling poems about werewolves, vampires, headless horsemen and other creepy creatures that will tickle kids' funny bones. That's right — a scary, but funny (or funny, but scary) poetry book that will start selling at Halloween and keep selling throughout the year because the content is about scary stuff rather than Halloween stuff.
Poems by Paul Orshoski are titled:
· Bigfoot's Bottom
· I Thought I Saw A Ghost Last Night
I've Been Burping in the Classroom
Publisher: Meadowbrook Press, Minnetonka, MN 2007 Ages 6-12, 32 pages
This collection of silly songs about school will entertain and charm children and have them laughing their way through every page. This book is sure to fill any musical occasion with giggles because the sidesplitting songs are about icky school lunches, the prettiest girl in school, and messy lockers. Children will love singing these silly new lyrics to familiar tunes like "I've Been Working on the Railroad," "Deck the Halls," and "America the Beautiful."

Students Loved it!
May 16, 2010
By H. Bacchus
My students loved the book! They thought it was very funny. We even turned some of the poems into classroom theater skits. Great to use during a poetry unit!
Children's Literature Review: Are your students a little bored and uninterested in their regular school routine? I've Been Burping in the Classroom and other Silly Sing-Along Songs is sure to get them moving and grooving. This collection of nineteen songs are set to the tunes of old favorites like "Deck the Halls", "Do your Ears Hang Low," "America My Country 'Tis of Thee," "I've Been Working on the Railroad," "Miss Suzy," and "I'm a Little Teapot," just to name a few. Children will giggle their way through songs about loathsome lockers, labyrinth lunches, and lovely leaders using songs written by the author and several others. Children can create skits and learn to recite poetry by reading or singing these silly songs. This book is a great teacher resource for any school-age program to incorporate multiple learning levels for all students.

"I Hope I Don't Strike Out" is the first major anthology of funny poems about sports.

School Presentations
Paul enjoys enthusiastically performing his hilarious poems in small or large group settings. Each 45-60 minute session includes a PowerPoint Presentation where Paul recites and discusses his poems and books with students and teachers. He enjoys sharing with others the stories behind his poems and books, as well as where the ideas for each one came from.
Each presentation is geared toward the age and interests of the school or classrooms he visits. Each program is age-appropriate, with simpler poems for younger audiences and more emphasis on the writing process for older students.
Many of the presentations are tailored to include an interactive poetry writing session where students help Paul write a new poem. Students will experience the creative process in action, be guided through the early stages of idea development, and will pick a topic of interest to write about. Paul will then rely on his "class of experts" to help him brainstorm ideas, generate rhymes, and begin a new poem. As a result, students will experience firsthand just how much fun language can be with jokes, puns and wacky wordplay. Each presentation concludes with a question-and-answer period, giving students a chance to ask questions of the author and to share their thoughts.
Cost For A School Visit:
Paul's fee to speak at a school is based on several factors: the number of programs to be presented, length of stay at the event, and location of the event (for travel and other expenses). Paul's experience has been that he can accommodate most budgets, and that he can customize his presentation to match your needs. Contact Paul with details of your event for a specific estimate.
"Your easy-going manner with the kids was great, most enjoyable. You definitely have a gift to be shared."– LouAnn Cebull, Teacher, Hancock Elementary School, Sandusky, OH
"Thanks for spending the day at our Young Author's Day Conference. Your poetry sessions were fabulous and it was obvious that the children thoroughly enjoyed your presence."– David Zitner, Principal, Monroeville Elementary School, Monroeville, OH
"Mr. Orshoski gave a fun, informative and entertaining presentation. He was able to keep the attention of our first graders and did a great job answering their questions. I would recommend your work and presentation to anyone interested."– Janet Basilone Welsh, Teacher, Furry Elementary School, Sandusky, OH
"As I went about my work, I could consistently hear the children giggle, laugh and interact with Mr. Orshoski. I was surprised that he was able to engage the kindergarten classes."– Kathy Thompson, Library Aide, Furry Elementary School, Sandusky, OH
"Thank you so much for coming into our classroom. I loved that you pre-prepared the poem, as it would have been near impossible to create a poem from scratch in the time allotted. My kids were very excited and very wiggly that day. They loved the props and your whole presentation!" – Paula Dwyre, Teacher, Madison Elementary School, Sandusky, OH

kibbutzingaroundThe doctor actually wanted me to take all of this garbage for the rest of my life!!!!!
She has her reasons and they're not wholly without reason of a sort, but I am just not willing to be swallowing bottle after bottle of mega-concentrated vitamins every day until I croak. She appears to be one of these people who thinks if she takes enough pills and shots and potions she'll pickle herself and live to be 150, and that's fine for her but I can't and won't live that way. She didn't understand that.
I wasn't really sure what to do. I was going catatonic again. Finally I realized that I just had to open my mouth and say whatever came to mind, otherwise I was just going to leave wanting to die the way I do every time I go to a doctor. Instead of speaking I ended up weeping, half-screaming, and cussing. I weep a little but I never come close to screaming in front of someone I don't know well and I don't cuss in front of anyone, so this was a bad, bad, bad, wicked bad sign.
Eventually she realized I just can't take all these supplements. So she said I didn't have to. I won't end up diseased if I don't. Meanwhile the stress of taking them and feeling like someone else is dictating my life and treating me like a sad sick old woman is taking my health down.
Yet it seems to me that just not taking any supplements is going to be a black cloud over my head too. I am low on B vitamins and on D vitamins and I know that, and that's probably not great for the long term. Also on days when I get really stressed I feel like I'm a "quart low" on something, and I wonder if that isn't the depletion of some vitamin.
So I wonder about something. I did some research and found a multivitamin – one, single pill like a normal being might take – that would go a long way in terms of boosting all the things that I'm concerned about. I wouldn't mind taking that each day, along with the one supplement I was already taking that I know from experience does make a major difference for me. Two pills a day, I can do.
Then there are those wicked bad days where the emotional strain is so bad I feel like I'm dying…sometimes I'm afraid that wiped-out feeling is the last of some kind of vitamin bidding me a fond adieu on its way out, so after a really horrible day it might feel like self-care rather than self-abuse to take some kind of high-potency isolates.
So far, those ideas don't make me want to punch myself the way taking all these isolates every miserable morning has done. This idea feels like I'm in control, doing what makes sense to me, living like the relatively young and healthy (if mildly to moderately disturbed) person I am. I can't afford to order the multivitamin right now but I will once I get paid. I'll see how this works for me. Actually if I can even feel settled with this plan I'll close out the goal. 3 years ago

YOU will quench your thirst! Discover the biological wonders of creatures that eat blood through encounters with live species and interactive exhibit stations.This family-friendly exhibit examines the what, why, when and how of parasites that feed off blood including mosquitoes, fleas, ticks and leeches. We all need food to survive, and animals that eat blood are no different. In fact, most of them manage to leave their prey alive. Human blood is high-energy fuel for the animals who've adapted to eating it, with about 20 grams of protein in every drop! Everything from your foot odor to the chemicals in your breath makes you appetizing to these bloodthirsty beasts.
Attack of the Bloodsuckers provides helpful hints for avoiding these sometimes annoying creatures. Precautions like keeping your yard free of standing water or checking yourself carefully for ticks are your best defense from these bloodsucking creatures.
Attack of the Bloodsuckers is included in your general admission to The Health Museum. This exhibition was developed by the Environmental Exhibit Collaborative, with funding by Jane's Trust, the Cabot Family Charitable Trust and the Institute for Museum and Library Services.
See live leech feedings on the following dates and times!

Here it is:
The James Beard Cookbook
(Dell Publishing Co., 1959. Revised in 1961, 1970, 1987 (paperback),
and 1996.)
Beard intended The James Beard Cookbook to have mass-market appeal to
those who are just beginning to cook and say they dont even know how
to boil water; and second, those who have been trying to cook for a
while and wonder why their meals dont taste like mothers cooking or
the food in good restaurants. It was the first trade paperback
cookbook (meaning it began life as a paperback) ever published in the
United States. Craig Claibornes New York Times review of the book
described its author as a kitchen wizard. Given the good press,
helpful content, and the price tag75 centsits no surprise it became
a classic. Today, youll need to shell out a bit more, but no one
seems to mind. The cookbook, according to Beards longtime friend and
editor, John Ferrone, has been Beards bestseller.
(The price may have gone up since 1959, but still...)

I started noticing a fair few hits from "The Society Pages" and went to see who was flogging my blog (That sounds… dirty, But then again with my accent saying "Can I butter your scones" can be considered as near pornographical).
What I came across was something that sets itself up to be a balanced view about the practice of female genital mutilation.
A lot of people who read that were obviously rather angry. One of them linked to my recent post on FGM and it's defence in Islam. So I had a read on my way back from my exam and have a rebuttal. If you want to see another one, check out Zinnia's piece on her blog.
While I'm most well-known for my work on hook up culture, I've written extensively on a different topic altogether: how Americans talk about female genital cutting practices (FGCs), better known as female genital "mutilation." While FGCs are passionately opposed by essentially all Americans who learn about them, our understanding of the practices is, in fact, skewed by misinformation, ethnocentrism, and a history of portraying Africa as naively "backwards" or cruelly "barbaric."
The very term FGC is used to reduce the horror of the word FGM. If you recall yesterday's article, I used an example of cataract surgery to show how terminology clouds our understanding of medical procedures and indeed our own bodies. Changing the word to cutting reduces the notion of the damage caused by this practice. And really? Making this a race issue? It's not ethnocentric to point out a practice is bullshit. No do not bring up male circumcision, it is not the same topic. And for the record I think the American fascination with the procedure is 50 shades of bullshit. Seriously guys? Knock it off.
The main source of distortion has been the mass media. Aiming to encourage journalists to think twice when covering the topic, the Hastings Center has released a report by the Public Policy Advisory Network on Female Genital Surgeries in Africa. In the rest of this post, I briefly discuss some of the things they want journalists — and the rest of us — to know and add a couple of my own:
The WHO refer to it as FGM as do most major organisations that fight the practice. From the Red Cross to Medicin Sans Frontier. It's not Mass Media. And calling it surgery is just dishonest. It is to surgery what a coat hanger is to an abortion. It is a practice done with unclean implements and tools that are often sterilised through heat in open conditions. Women have died from this practice, women have contracted HIV from this practice. It is not a small number, it is a rather large one. In some case death rates as high as 30% have been noted. It also increases the infant mortality rate. Even in areas with good medical coverage, 20% of women will suffer permanent sequelae from the practice. It is not "Mass Media" this is hard research conducted by organisations such as the WHO. Now this may be just the high risk type III FGM, but honestly Type II is pretty bad and Type I often causes damage to the clitoris reducing pleasure during sex and/or causing scarring making sex painful.
These are not organisations that are swayed by journalists and "the mass media" who frankly are more interested in Kardashians (They are like Cardassians… Only instead of being devious and cunning opponents they destroy you by vapid reality TV and leaked sex tapes rather than phaser cannons and photon torpedoes) or the fact that my country's future head of state bucked the trend of super incest that has powered European Royalty and married someone who isn't royalty. Forgive me if I don't drop my monocle into my tea, but mass media doesn't give a flying fuck about people in third world nations. If they did Medicin Sans Frontier's operational budget would be a lot higher.
Using the word "mutilation" is counterproductive.
People who support genital cutting typically believe that a cut body is a more aesthetically pleasing one. The term "mutilation" may appeal to certain Westerners, but people in communities where cutting occurs largely find the term confusing or offensive.
No they don't. They don't understand why it's bad because there are really low levels of education and because religious leaders SUPPORT THE PRACTICE but pretty much everyone in these countries who oppose the damn practice are calling it Female Genital Mutilation. NAMBLA may not enjoy being called Paedophiles but that's honestly what they are! I understand what political correctness is but PC can frankly go hang, this isn't Putney or Pennsylvania this is people who are being cut often in really unsafe conditions for a bizarre aesthete associated with pseudo-scientific benefits that are simply not true and are being used on women who have little to no say in this.
Media coverage usually focuses on one of the more rare types of genital cutting: infibulation. Infibulation involves trimming and fusing the labia so as to close the vulva, leaving an opening in the back for intercourse, urination, and menses. In fact, 10% of the procedures involve infibulation. The remainder involve trimming, cutting, or scarification of the clitoris, clitoral hood (prepuce), or labia minora or majora. While none of these procedures likely sound appealing, some are more extensive than others.
Yes. Because Type III is mainly a practice in Africa while the others are evenly spaced out.
But that's like saying "Well it's better to have a below knee amputation rather than an above knee amputation". True but you won't amputate your leg for funsies. The entire procedure is pointless, painful, has a bunch of problems and has high mortality and morbidity associated with it. Even if doctors do it. There are medical reasons to do these things (In fact a cousin of mine had a procedure similar to the suture aspect of infibulation done to ensure the birth of her child rather than a still birth.) but just because you have a medical reason to do something doesn't mean you can do it for the sake of no reason what so ever. Now granted swapping these types to IV is beneficial but honestly that's being done with a view to limit damage and eventually stop the practice.
Research has shown that women with cutting are sexually responsive.
Women who have undergone genital surgeries report "rich sexual lives, including desire, arousal, orgasm, and satisfaction…" This is true among women who have experienced clitoral reductions and undergone infibulation, as well as women who've undergone lesser forms of cutting.
This is from a single anthropological opinion piece. The remainder of pieces that were used to support this notion are not saying that the practice is harmless. In fact they say specifically that women with even fairly major FGM can experience pleasure BUT require therapy in order to do so.
None of them defend the practice. All of the articles except the anthropological piece which is anthropological and therefore not a medical or a social piece on a practice condemn it as something bad. Now I haven't read the ones behind pay walls. In addition the source which she quotes, quotes a bunch of articles that aren't very up to date. Like "1980s" is a long long time ago. My biochemistry textbook from 1985 was tiny, as was my embryological one. Today the same book is nearly three times the size. We have learnt a lot since then. Quoting really out of date articles doesn't help your argument.
Neither does noting coital frequency since that's applying the western notion that coital frequency is reciprocal and even we know for a fact that it may not be reciprocal in the west, yet are supposed to assume that a culture that doesn't treat women all that well somehow respects their rights to have sex? Or indeed if sufficient women are circumcised, then the concept of sexual pleasure would be warped by the majority. That perhaps a generation of intact women may change their minds about sex.
The entire argument is based on a bunch of really fallacious arguments and a complete lack of understanding of what research done was meant to show.
Health complications of genital cutting "represent the exception rather than the rule."
News reports often include long lists of acute and long-term negative medical consequences of FGCs, and these may feel intuitively true, but efforts to document their incidence suggest that health problems are, for the most part, no more common in cut than uncut women. The Report concludes: "…from a public health point of view, the vast majority of genital surgeries in Africa are safe, even with current procedures and under current conditions."
Well if they were the rule then we would run out of women and the practice would stop rather abruptly.
In addition, if you were to click the above link and read the above article, it mentions specifically
" It shows that few studies are appropriately designed to measure health effects, that circumcision is associated with significantly higher risks of a few well-defined complications, but that for other possible complications the evidence does not show significant differences."
Yes but there are a few well defined complications. Like Tetanus, Gangrene and Shock. The article specifically states that this causes problems without mentioning it because we know what the well defined problems are. Western women don't get gangrene or tetanus or shock because someone lopped their lady bits off. The complications are important too. The complication of taking anti-histamines is drowsiness. The complication of taking morphine is respiratory arrest.
To explain this I am going to have to break out the sock puppets. One of these things is not like the other, one of these things is not the same… Recognising the severity of the complication is important.
Girls are not generally cut in response to the influence of cruel patriarchs.
Most societies that cut girls also cut boys; some groups that engage in cutting have relatively permissive sexual rules for women, some do not; and female genital cutting practices are typically controlled and organized by women (correspondingly, men control male genital surgeries).
If you paid any attention to the map that Lisa Wade has provided you would note those well known feminist nations of North West India and Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia, DRC (Rape Capital Of the World! Well done lads!), Sudan, Somalia, Yemen, Saudi Arabia (women drivers eh?), Sierra Leone…
Just because a practice is done by women doesn't mean it's not supporting a male dominated society. The "Cooking Accident" deaths of India are usually done by the Mother In Law. Dowry deaths invariably involve the jailing of the husband's mother either as the primary culprit or an accessory.
FGCs are not an "African practice."
The procedures we label "female genital mutilation" occur only in some parts of Africa and occur outside of the continent as well (source):
Agreed, which is why in my article I covered the Malay practice which is entirely cultural (It's unheard of in Tamil Malaysians).
Moreover, cosmetic genital surgeries in the U.S. are among the fastest growing procedures. These include clitoral reduction, circumcision of the clitoral foreskin, labia trimming, and vaginal tightening, not to mention mons liposuction, collagen injected into the g-spot, color correction of the vulva, and anal bleaching. While it would be simplistic to say that these are the same as the procedures we typically call "mutilation," they are not totally different either.
For someone who writes about hook-up culture Lisa has forgotten the CARDINAL RULE OF SEX.
Lords and Ladies, repeat after me. The Cardinal Rule of Sex is Informed Consent. The people who do these things are not informed about the procedure and blindly do the procedure solely because generations have done it. And all of these things are voluntary. You are not less of a woman if you don't have this sanitised vagina. The WHO categorises these procedures in the same system but outright specifies that these are voluntary and done because women in the west CHOOSE to do them and are not forced by culture, faith or families.
Western-led efforts to eliminate FGCs are largely ineffective and sometimes backfire.
It turns out that people don't appreciate being told that they are barbaric, ignorant of their own bodies, or cruel to their children. Benevolent strangers who try to stop cutting in communities, as well as top-down laws instituted by politicians (often in response to Western pressure), are very rarely successful. The most impressive interventions have involved giving communities resources to achieve whatever goals they desire and getting out of the way.
No they don't. However it does cause women who think like that in those countries to start making some noise and people listen to them. You get results by working with communities and with local people who know the setup and the culture. Lisa has this notion that charity workers and volunteers from the west arrive on some howdah issuing decrees like some white (or in my case brown) sahib from the age of colonialism with red coat, pith helmet and awesome moustache. This is a very very very faulty notion of how things work.
Every sane medical organisation that brings in western aid staff do so with the idea that western aid staff fulfil a need that cannot be fulfilled by using local staff or a transient need for staff that is unavailable such as in Darfur where lack of medical staff is exacerbated by escalating warfare and refugees resulting in increased demand of a speciality job or during Katrina where the sudden break down of utilities people take for granted resulted in a need for increased medical care and support staff. The idea is that western aid workers will train local staff and then go away and these local staff can function without us. I have a time line where I am not needed any more. When I am done I am "Gone" and my job is done. I have concrete goals to achieve and while I may not achieve all of them to the level I want, they will be achieved and then I go back home. I don't need to hold anyone's hand while they work. These individuals will continue the practices and the goals and set new targets to achieve and progress. A lot of the work you do in charity is training people to not need charity. A lot of it is educational.
Many charities straight up will not TAKE you even if you offer to go unless you possess the skills needed to make their deployment function and you demonstrate a capability or capacity to work. It is actually a major gripe serious workers have with Missionary Workers because in addition to flogging bibles with rice they also don't bring in skilled professionals and instead bring in weekend warriors. I have specifically reported on one individual whose mission to spread godliness made things worse. We all have our bad days and need a little help but a lot of charities often report workers who come in then proceed to be liabilities in situations where you end up wasting resources to keep them safe. Or they show up and do jobs that "anyone" can do meaning that local people lose out.
The people who go and do charity for sane organisations are nothing like the imperialistic description of what we do. There are plenty of women and men in Africa and Asia who fight on the side of medicine on this issue. They are products of their own culture and while they have some influence from "westernised" thought, they aren't sock puppets.
Lisa does the work of thousands of people who fight against this horrible practice a bad name while empowering those who spread the pseudo-science of this practice. I straight up mentioned that the culture of FGM is so ingrained in the culture of Kenya that Kenyan freedom fighters actively protected it. That the people in Kenya who fight against this practice are fighting uphill against an institution that had a role in their freedom.
It's like fighting for gun control in the USA because it played a similar role in the culture of the freedom movement. People actively defend this unnecessarily wasteful and oppressive practice. Defending their viewpoints doesn't help anyone. It just harms more people.

Published Sept. 18, 2013
Council committee wants to increase elected official pay
MONROE - The city is looking into a different pay structure for council members and will be holding a public hearing about it as soon as next month.
Council members currently are paid $100 for every meeting they attend. The City Council typically has four meetings a month for a possible $400 paycheck. The city is looking into changing the pay structure to a monthly salary structure of $600 as a starting point for this discussion.
The mayor is paid $3,000 per month. The mayor's pay is not being discussed at this time.
The City Council's finance and human resources committee met earlier this month to discuss the idea of moving away from a pay-per-meeting structure to a monthly salary pay structure.
Committee chair and Councilman Jason Gamble said improving the compensation structure would encourage more people to run for council seats.
Councilman Tom Williams, who did most of the research on the subject, said there were a lot more people running against each other when he ran for office four years ago.
Since council members do a lot of work outside the meetings (even ones they don't attend), the committee found it would be fair for members to be compensated for that work.
"A lot of council members, past and present have said that the ones that I don't attend, I almost work harder than for the ones that I do," Gamble said. "You're not just doing the work during the meetings, there's other work that you're doing whether you're at the meetings or not."
The committee looked at other cities' council compensation structures. Monroe decided to start with a $600 monthly salary because it was around mid-range of the cities looked at.
Williams said most of the other cities that he looked at used the salary system for their elected officials.
The last time Monroe council members received an increase or change in pay was in 1998. At that time, the pay per meeting increased from $50 to $100.
Snohomish, with a population of 9,220, pays council members $450 per month and the mayor $700 per month. Everett, with a population of 104,200, pays council members $2,247 per month and the mayor $13,249 per month.
Monroe's population is 17,304.
At the Sept. 10 meeting, Mayor Robert Zimmerman seemed to agree with the sentiment that council members should be paid for the work they do regardless of attendance.
"I know that you all are committed and do more work than what you see here on Tuesday nights," Zimmerman said.
The pay increase, if approved, would become effective after the November election.

Fright Night(1985)
For young Charlie Brewster, nothing could be better than an old horror movie late at night. Two men move in next door, and for Charlie with his horror movie experience, there can be no doubt that their strange behavior is explained by the fact that they are a vampire and his undead day guardian. The only one who can help him hunt them down is a washed-up actor, Peter Vincent, who hosts Charlie's favorite TV show, Fright Night. Vincent doesn't really believe that vampires exist, but does it for the money...
For more about Fright Night and the Fright Night Blu-ray release, see Fright Night Blu-ray Review published by Jeffrey Kauffman on December 8, 2011 where this Blu-ray release scored 3.5 out of 5.

Fright Night Blu-ray Review
Back to the future.
Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman, December 8, 2011
Yesterday's low budget cult hit is tomorrow's iconic cultural touchstone. That has repeatedly been the case with the advent of cable television and its repeated broadcasts of lesser known films which have found a whole new life as they became exposed to more and more audiences. It's especially true for films that certain generations grew up watching, and the memories of having seen the films (over and over in many cases) glosses over any inherent faults any given film may actually have. Fright Night was actually a substantial hit in 1985, but it was never an outright blockbuster, but large swaths of people who saw the film over 25 years ago, as well as those who caught it in any number of broadcast iterations through the year, have an incredibly fond feeling for it, despite its somewhat lo-fi charms. Fright Night is completely unpretentious, and that's perhaps its crowning achievement. Taking the old suspense standby, repeatedly exploited by the likes of such iconic directors as Alfred Hitchcock, of an innocent bystander who becomes privy to some secret information, and nicely twisting that trope to include a nerdy teenager (William Ragsdale) who discovers his neighbor (Chris Sarandon) is a vampire, Fright Night walks a nice tightrope between silly (sometimes downright juvenile) humor and some decent scares. Adding into the fun is a cartoonish turn by Roddy McDowall as an ex-horror film star who hosts a local television show which reruns his old movies as well as others starring the likes of Christopher Lee. When Ragsdale's character of Charley can't get anyone else to believe what he thinks is going on, he turns to McDowall's Peter Vincent for help, thrusting the actor into the predicament of actually having to live up to the image his young fans have fostered of him.
Many of my earliest memories of horror films are due to a late night (meaning 10:30 p.m.) Friday series that played on Salt Lake City's ABC affiliate which was called Nightmare Theater, somewhat improbably hosted by a kiddie show host named Fireman Frank. Staying up late was pretty special for a five or six year old, but that special feeling soon turned to abject fear when something like Frankenstein or The Mummy flickered across the airwaves. I still have incredibly strong memories of burying my face in the fuzzy living room couch cushions during one especially horrifying showing, I Was a Teenage Frankenstein, when Michael Landon's horribly disfigured face after a horrible car accident is shown. That same sort of fascination with a late night horror movie franchise is part of Fright Night's wonderfully nostalgic appeal.
Charley is a fairly typical high school teenager trying to make it with his girlfriend Amy (Amanda Bearse) upstairs in his bedroom, both while the local horror series Fright Night with host Peter Vincent plays in the background, and perhaps even more horrifyingly as his mother sits downstairs. When Amy gets cold feet about going all the way, Charley by chance catches a glimpse of new neighbors moving into the Gothic mansion next door, and they include a coffin being hoisted into the cellar. With Fright Night's Peter Vincent expounding about the terrors of vampires in the background, Charley comes to the only logical conclusionhis new neighbor is obviously a fanged beast who feasts on human blood. Charley's suspicions are confirmed when he sees a gorgeous woman entering the neighbor's house who soon shows up on the evening news as a murder victim. And as in the best mystery thrillers, Charley can't get a soul (a living soul, anyway) to believe him, including a local policeman whom he brings to the neighbor's house in the hopes of uncovering the truth.
When Charley's Mom makes the logistical error of inviting the new neighbor in (something you should never ever do with a vampire), Charley meets the suave and debonair Jerry Dandridge (Chris Sarandon). Jerry makes it quite clear through his glowering presence and a couple of well delivered doubles entendres that he is indeed a vampire and he does not take kindly to all the trouble Charley has stirred up. That sets up the central conflict of the film, as Charley, Amy and their manic friend Ed (AKA Evil) (Stephen Geoffreys) manage to enlist the putative aid of the real life Peter Vincent (McDowall), who finds himself in needs of funds after his television series is unceremoniously canceled.
Fright Night is a slight film, but it's almost entirely enjoyable and even kind of sweet natured in its own undead way. While Ragsdale and Bearse make for an appealing enough romantic couple, it's Geoffreys and Sarandon who steal the show here, with McDowall's twitchy antics not far behind. Geoffreys pretty much chews any available scenery, and Sarandon has the same sort of lugubrious charm that Frank Langella displayed in his version of Dracula. Watching the film now with contemporary (and cynical) eyes, some of the then pretty spectacular special effects look a little creaky, but there is one fabulous sequence where one of the characters who's been transformed into a vampire then morphs into a wolf and meets an ignominious end which of course results in a reverse transformation back into human form.
There's little doubt that Fright Night is not an overlooked masterpiece, as may perhaps be evidenced by the less than spectacular remake (also out this week on Blu-ray), which tried to gussy up this original's low rent charms with state of the art special effects (and 3D), largely to no avail. But much like the old B-movies that played on shows like Nightmare Theater or even this film's own in-movie Fright Night, there's a certain ineffable allure to silly little films that deliver a few passing scares and giggles along the way. Fright Night is certainly one of those films.
Fright Night Blu-ray, Video Quality
Fright Night is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of Twilight Time with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 2.40:1. Fright Night was filmed on a fairly paltry budget and the bulk of this film exhibits signs of less than superior film stock and some less than ideal filming conditions. Despite what was evidently a new high-res scan for this release, the overall image here is a bit on the soft side, though there appears to have been no noise reduction and while soft, the image retains a suitably mid-80's cinematic look. Colors are acceptable, though never really brash. There is some occasional crush in the dark scenes, notably the finale in the cellar of Jerry's home. But close-ups reveal above average levels of fine detail, and this is certainly a sharper presentation than the film has ever had before. The opticals, including some of the special effects, contribute to some of the softness on display, as might be expected.
Fright Night Blu-ray, Audio Quality
Fright Night features a lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix that may not offer incredible surround activity but which sports excellent fidelity and some actually surprising dynamic range. Dialogue and even effects tend to be anchored front and center, though a couple of great sequences, including the first battle between Jerry and Charley in Charley's bedroom have some nicely placed discrete channel effects. Everything is cleanly and clearly presented here, and Brad Fiedel's score (also available as an isolated track) percolates along very nicely.
Fright Night Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
Fright Night Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
Fright Night is a sweet, good natured film that works a number of well worn clichés but manages not to get mired down in too much same old, same old for its own good. Part of this is due to the expert pitch of the performances, which range from the increasing panic of Ragsdale to the over the top antics of Geoffreys to the oily menace of Sarandon to the almost Don Knotts-esque fear of McDowall. There's nothing outright hilarious in Fright Night, but it's genial, and while some of the special effects haven't aged particularly well, there enough sense of danger here to provide a couple of solid chills. You may have seen this before (or, in a way, after, if you've seen the recent remake), but Fright Night is still a lot of fun. Recommended.

Nothing Finer Than This Diner
Avondale anchor The Fox Restaurant satisfies need for comfort food
3580 St. Johns Ave., Avondale
Caron Streibich covers dining out throughout Northeast Florida. If you have information about new restaurant openings, menu changes or other food-related news, contact her here. Streibich is also the host of our regular Folio Weekly Bite Club gatherings. Follow the Bite Club on Facebook or Twitter to learn more about it.
Pining for a sense of nostalgia coupled with simple diner food that satisfies? Head to the Shoppes of Avondale and straight to The Fox Restaurant, a diner that exudes 1950s charm coupled with a modern hipster twist. The interior is plastered with photos, art and figurines — my favorite is a Steve Urkel doll (queue the "Did I do thaaaaat?").
Though table seating is fairly limited at The Fox, there are plenty of swivel seats at the counter with a view of the open kitchen. Watch as your eggs are scrambled or your bacon is crisped. The entire right side of the restaurant is lined with comfortable booths, but keep in mind that that no one table can seat a party larger than five.
I'm a Southern girl raised on diner-style comfort food, so the corned beef hash with egg (cooked any way you like it), homefries (or grits, or fresh fruit) and biscuit or buttered toast were calling my name. The homemade hash was flavorful and crispy — perfect for sopping up my runny egg yolk. I drizzled honey and a bit of butter on the light and fluffy biscuit that came with the dish.
Another option guaranteed to warrant a late afternoon nap is an order of biscuits and gravy, with a side of fluffy pancakes. The gravy was thick, with plenty of sausage bits throughout.
The menu touts traditional breakfast items, like pancakes, waffles, French toast and an array of omelets, along with an assortment of lunch items including salads, sandwiches and cooked-to-order burgers. The aptly named Pittsburgher comes piled high with French fries and a mound of creamy cole slaw on top. Pair it with your choice of side item for a reasonably priced and filling lunch.
The diner is open daily, but if you're headed to The Fox on a weekend, prepare to wait — parking can be tricky and the line is often out the door. There's free coffee to pacify hungry guests as they wait, so sip some Joe and strike up a conversation with a potential new friend or two.

John Williams of The New York Times reports on newly released book titles and the world of publishing in "The Book Reader."
The journalist and novelist Walter Kirn is best known to a wide audience as a fiction writer: his novels "Thumbsucker" and "Up in the Air" have been made into major-studio films. But Kirn is also a gifted journalist and critic, and his latest book falls into that age-old category, Stranger Than Fiction. It's called "Blood Will Out," and it details Kirn's relationship with Christian Gerhartsreiter, better known as Clark Rockefeller. That was the false identity he assumed to pass himself off as American royalty. His cover was blown when he kidnapped his daughter during a custody battle. He was convicted of that crime in 2009, and in 2013 he was convicted of a murder in California that had occurred nearly 30 years earlier.
Kirn met the man he knew as Clark Rockefeller in 1998. The circumstances were appropriately bizarre. As a favor, Kirn set out to drive a dog from Montana to New York for Rockefeller, who had adopted the animal on the Internet. What followed was a mostly long-distance friendship. Kirn offers a close-up portrait of a fascinating, chilling figure. The book is thoughtful about the issue of class, about the ways in which writers get to know, and use, their subjects, and about how and why we feel that we know other people. "Blood Will Out" is as gripping and provocative as the events that it chronicles.

Knee Deep In Knowledge
The environments around the ponds show a thriving wetland ecosystem with abundant plant and animal life, concluded students of Michael Lindemulder, who teaches Advanced Placement Environmental Science at Mott, and took on the monitoring duties. His students visit the ponds as part of their curriculum.
"We talk about water quality and how pollutants get into the system," Lindemulder said. "We talk about different factors that could impact the results. It's a good opportunity for students to see how science can fit into a career."
For a technology component, Gannon's students created and presented a video about their efforts to share with more than 3,000 other students who also monitor water quality along the Clinton River.
The council's student congress provides a venue for students to share their findings. Lindemulder's students created an educational pamphlet about the project.
"The best part of this partnership with the parks system is that my students get outdoors in nature and do field work," Gannon said.
"It's exciting to see my students with their heads bent over magnifying glasses looking for invertebrates and finding there are creatures in the water, even though we don't see them."
Last year, the stream-monitoring program was a perfect complement to Gannon's curriculum that had students studying all aspects of water, including a field trip to a water-treatment plant, discussions on the difference between municipal wells and city water, and an initiative to have students empty water bottles before recycling them at school.
"I hope all of these efforts help students make the connection that every little bit of water adds up to the whole of the resources that we all share on this planet," Gannon said.
"Just by emptying their water bottles, they add water back into the water cycle and keep it out of landfills where it would be lost for a very long time."

Community Support
In 2012, nearly 3,500 students from more than 20 schools monitored streams via the Stream Leaders Program. The program is funded by: GM, DTE Energy Foundation, REI Inc., Giffels Webster Engineers, Rochester Rotary, Sterling South, Oxford Bank, ABB Robotics, Womens National Farm and Garden, Chrysler Group LLC, and Garden Club of Michigan.
Mentor support is also vital to the program. More than 50 GM employees participate, as well as individuals from Chrysler Group LLC, Clinton River Canoe and Kayak, Giffels Webster Engineers, Oakland County Parks and Recreation, The City of Auburn Hills, and interns from the Clinton River Watershed Council.

New UK Sport Director of Performance and IDOLOGY founder to join WCPCSubscribe

Grace Cullen 15 November 2012
With less than two weeks until the 2012 World Class Performance Conference (WCPC), UK Sport has today (15 Nov) announced the addition of new UK Sport Director of Performance Simon Timson and IDOLOGY founder Caroline McHugh to the line-up of lead speakers.
Set for the Queens Hotel in Leeds from 26-28 November, the theme of the 2012 WCPC is calibration, which will be explored across four key areas; self, performance focus, sustainable success and relationships.
Simon Timson, who will take up his post at UK Sport in January, will be introduced by UK Sport, CEO, Liz Nicholl, when he delivers his session on performance focus. This will be a pertinent subject for new UK Sport recruit Timson who will be tasked with maintaining the UK's Olympic and Paralympic performance through to the Rio 2016 Games.
He said: "I'm delighted to be speaking at this year's World Class Performance Conference, and look forward to the gathering of our Olympic and Paralympic high performance community to celebrate the inspirational successes of the London Games.
"The Conference will provide a very valuable opportunity to pause, reflect, and consider how as individuals, programmes and a community we can work together to create a stronger system over the next four years, and sustain the London success to Rio 2016."
Caroline McHugh
In the early 90s McHugh founded IDOLOGY, a movement dedicated to helping individuals and organisations be original versions of themselves, not pale imitations of each other. She has dedicated herself to being a student and teacher of human potential and its application, working with leading politicians and global economists, captains of industry and internationally renowned artists.
Caroline McHugh said: "To be in a room with some of the most competitive people in the world, introducing them to the one place in their life they have no competition? What a gig!
"The difference between people at the top and the ones who never get there, is not only how they eat, or how they train, but who they are.
"I'm honoured to be invited by UK Sport to talk on my favourite subject, the edge that can be gained by being a fully deployed, original version of yourself."
Since its inception in 2001, the World Class Performance Conference has become the key event in the diaries of coaches, performance directors and sports science and medicine practitioners, as the one opportunity every year for the entire Olympic and Paralympic high performance community to come together to network, debate and share best practice. The aim is to equip these individuals with the skills and knowledge to make sustainable improvements to their sport's World Class Performance Programme.

Tax Installment Program
type of property is considered taxable personal
Personal property tax is a tax which is based upon
the value of taxable personal
property. The following types of personal property
are considered taxable: motor
vehicles, trailers, mobile homes, watercraft, boat
motors, aircraft, livestock, farm machinery and
equipment, and any other personal property not
exempted by law.
I don't own this vehicle
anymore, why am I getting a bill on it?
Taxes are assessed on property owned on January 1
each year. Even if you no longer own the vehicle,
own a different vehicle, or no longer own any
vehicle, the tax is based on what was owned on
January 1. The tax amount is not prorated. The total
tax amount is due upon receipt of the statement, but
no later than December 31 or late payment charges
will be assessed.
Do I have to pay my taxes
in person?
No. We have several methods of payment.
of Payments
When are my taxes due?
Under state law taxes are due upon receipt of the
tax bill but no later than December 31.
For payments made by mail to be on time, the
postmark date must be December 31 or earlier. To
ensure your mailed payment is timely, contact the
post office to determine the office hours for mail
cancellation. Payments placed in post office mail
drop boxes do not always receive the same day
postmark. The collector's office highly recommends
mailing several days before the December 31
Payments made in
person are accepted during regular business hours
(8am to 4:30pm, Monday through Friday) at the
collector's office. Payments placed in the
Collector's drop box before midnight December 31,
are timely. The Collector's drop box is located at
Annex 1 on the front of the building at 201 W. Wall
St. Harrisonville,
I need to license a car not
included on my paid tax receipt. What do I do?
If you bought your car after January 1 of last year,
use last year's receipt. Property taxes are not
assessed on the new vehicle until you've owned it on
January 1. If you owned the vehicle on January 1 of
last year and it is not listed on your receipt, or
is incorrect on your receipt or statement, please
contact the assessor's Office.
I am no longer a Missouri
resident; do I still owe this tax bill?
Yes. Under state law, your tax obligation is
established on January 1. Even if you move to a
different state the next day, you are still taxed.
However, if you move into
on January 2, you are not taxed for that year. The
tax bill is not pro-rated. The entire amount is due.
I am renewing two (2) year
license plates; which years' personal property tax
receipts do I need?
If you were assessed and paid taxes in
County for the prior two
years, you will need copies of the last two years
receipts. If you were assessed in another
County, you may need to
contact that county. If you cannot locate your tax
receipt for the appropriate year, please call our
office, at (816) 380-8377, for additional

let you know my new address?
Yes. We mail bills to
the address on file. Every year mail is returned by
the post office as undeliverable because the
forwarding time has expired. Penalties will accrue
and are due if the bill is not paid before January
1, whether or not the bill is received by the
taxpayer. You may
update your address with the assessor's office.
Why is my tax bill so high?
The amount of tax you
owe is based on the assessed value of the tangible
personal property you owned on January 1 of that
year. The higher the market value of the property,
the higher the assessed value and therefore the
higher the amount due. The value of the property is
determined by the county assessor using standardized
information. The assessed value of your vehicles and
other property is listed on your tax bill.
Personal Property Tax = (Assessed Value/100) × Tax
Your personal property tax is calculated by dividing
the assessed value of the property by 100, and then
multiplying that value by the tax rate for your
How do I avoid paying late
Your payment must be received by the collector or
postmarked no later than December 31. Payments
received or postmarked after December 31 must
include late charges as accrued for the month of
payment. Late fees go up on the first of each month
beginning January 1 until the bill is paid in full.

Convert to 8-bit unsigned integer
intArray = uint8(array)
intArray = uint8(array) converts the elements of an array into unsigned 8-bit (1-byte) integers of class uint8.
Array of any numeric class, such as single or double. If array is already of class uint8, the uint8 function has no effect.
Array of class uint8. Values range from 0 to 28 – 1.
The uint8 function maps any values in array that are outside the limit to the nearest endpoint. For example,
uint8(2^8) % 2^8 = 256
ans = 255
When preallocating integer arrays, specify the class in the call to functions that support a class name input (such as zeros, ones or eye), rather than calling an integer conversion function. For example,
I = uint8(zeros(100)); % Creates an intermediate array
is not as efficient as
I = zeros(100, 'uint8'); % Preferred

Participating Firms with Policies Supporting Universal Collection of Primary Race/Ethnicity Data on Members Evaluation of a Learning Collaborative's Process and Effectiveness to Reduce Health Care Disparities Among Minority Populations Firms with Complete Data for All or Virtually All MembersFirm 1. This firm serves predominantly Medicaid members and receives such data from the state.Firms with Data for a Meaningful Share of their MembersFirm 4. The firm announced in 2001 that it would begin to collect such data. From 2002 to 2004, it worked to get approval from states and some major employers to include a field for such data on the enrollment form. In 2004, it initiated a member Web Portal that encourages voluntary reporting.Firm 6. About 30 percent of members are served by the medical group, which has collected such data since 2004 (with estimated 95 percent completion rate). Data are available for about 50 to 60 percent of members using system hospitals. After the experience with geocoding, firm decided to introduce a Web Portal with the goal of capturing primary data for members seen by other providers; this portal was introduced in January 2006.Firms with Systems in Place to Collect Such DataFirm 2. An electronic medical record that was adopted a year or two ago includes a field for race/ethnicity that is supposed to be completed during on-site medical visits. However, the field uses a "soft" rather than a "hard" stop and compliance is low so far. One state in which the plan operates requires hospitals to collect such data; this yields information for a sizeable proportion of the membership in that region. Consideration is being given to making senior executives responsible for targeted completion, a step viewed as likely to be very effective in encouraging compliance.Firms with Adopted Policies that are Designing SystemsFirm 3. In late 2005, the firm made a commitment to collect race/ethnicity and preferred language data. The effort will begin with members in disease management programs and those completing health risk appraisal forms.Firm 5. The firm has committed to collecting race/ethnicity data but will not be able to implement the policy until at least 2008 because it must finish converting to a new IT system that has a field for such information. The firm has decided to use the same IT system as another Collaborative participant with whom they have business relations and believe that the system will support race/ethnicity coding.Firm 7. The CEO has decided to collect such data and formed a taskforce charged with deciding in 2006 how to do so. In the interim, the firm is selectively capturing such data on a voluntary basis as part of its customer relations management effort.Firm 8. The firm has decided to collect race/ethnicity data and will do so via its commercial enrollment form and a Web portal where members can volunteer this information. It is in the process of getting states' approval of the modified enrollment form and developing the new Web interface.Note: Firms were randomly assigned to the codes Firm 1, Firm 2, and so forth.Return to Document Page last reviewed December 2007 Internet Citation: Table IV.2.

Dear all,
I'd like to suggest we introduce the following very useful feature, as soon as
possible (which likely means in the next EAPI?):
* two new files in profile directories supported, package.use.stable.mask and
* syntax is identical to package.use.mask and package.use.force
* meaning is identical to package.use.mask and package.use.force, except that
the resulting rules are ONLY applied iff a stable keyword is in use
Rationale: Often single features are "not ready for production yet", but the
remaining package with that feature disabled would be a perfect candidate for
stabilization. Right now this can be solved by
* masking the useflag, which then makes the feature inaccessible even for
* masking the useflag for exactly one package revision, which is hell to
* or introducing different package revisions with/without the useflag, which
is also a mess.
Where this would (have been|be) useful:
* we had for a long time different revisions of subversion with/without kde
* cups-1.4 had the infamous libusb backend triggered by USE=usb
* cups-1.5 has optional systemd support via a systemd useflag, which pulls in
non-stabilized systemd as dependency...

|I decided to continue this story and it will follow the Avatar storylin in Legend Of Korra with some new bits added in and bits taken out depending on where Raiden is at the given time as it is told form his perspective. The next chapter will have a sex scene and then after that there probably wont be another until Part 4, 5 or 6 depending on how the series will fit into this chronicle. Thank you for your support!

|Avatar : The Legend of Korra and the Immortal Avatar
|You clearly haven't read enough into the character I have created or you have and are being a fanboy by twistin the words I have written to make it somthing it's not.
1) the only people that know of Raiden are the avatars and those associated directly wih him even then they don't fully know who he is, his powers are kept hidden.
2) He is a PARTIAL AVATAR he can't go into the avatar state or the spirit world, the only thing he can do is bend all four elements that the spirits and passed Avatars deemed necessary so as to protect the avatar.
3) Don't try and compare this to a fanfic on "Star Wars" they are not comparable
Lastly if you don't like it fuck off neg vote of you want but don't try and fuckig make this look bad because your little fanboy feelings are hurt so piss off

The Content Pillar—A Post for Daughters
Posted By Jennifer McBride on October 24, 2011
Excellent thoughts from Breezy Brookshire; written to daughters but applicable to wives and mothers as well! :
Contentment is one of the priceless virtues a woman must cultivate. As daughters preparing to be homemakers, we eagerly await the time when we can be in our own homes, and it is crucial to develop contentment right now. Without it, we will stifle our joy and tear down our homes whether we get married or not.
