Well, it's almost unbelievable that prior to 'Gbagbe Oshi', Davido's last single was in December 2015, 'The Money' ft Olamide, mostly because it is still on rotation in parties and everywhere else.
After his deal with Sony Music in January 2016, and the release of 'Gbagbe oshi', over the past seven months, we have surprisingly seen very little of Davido.
All of that is changing in recent weeks as he marked his return two weeks ago with 'Gbage oshi', the first single off the "Son Of Mercy†EP.
With 'Tinashe' being the first in a long line of international collaborations, 'How long' works around the House genre, as 'Davido' absorbs the sound and delivers via a Nigerian filter.

How to Have Happy Wife
Want a happy wife?
I have been a married man for over 42 years and after all that time, I still do not pretend that I understand how complex my wife is. While there are several excellent books on the topic, I will mention three that will give guys some tools to help make their wives and girlfriends happier.
At the risk of failing to sounding simplistic, I think we guys do a better job in our relationship if we treat them more like a job. A left brain, task oriented, outcomes based approach.
Here we go.
First-Make Marriage Your Job - Here is the Job Description
If building your marriage is your job, what are the expectations for the company?
To Love, Honor, and Respect Her.
From these core values based in the Word and the vows that most of us shared in our weddings come all things good in a marriage.
To Be Sexually and Emotionally Faithful.
No one issue better defines marriage than the promise of sexual fidelity, and I believe that all men know this.
To Listen Without Being Judgmental.
Since 95 percent of all Nobel prizes go to men, you've got to believe that men know how to solve problems. The problem is that your wife may not need you to solve her problems; sometimes she just needs to know that you are there by her side.
To Support and Nurture Her Ambitions in and Outside the Home.
Roles are changing, and that is not a bad thing. More men than women work outside the home, but due, in part to the economy, more and more women are either entering or re-entering the workplace or are starting home-based businesses. As your children grow and, opportunities open up for your wife to pursue her pen dreams, will you be there to support her.
Thank you to Scott Haltzman, M.D., and his excellent ideas from The Secrets of Happily Married Men. This article is adapted from that resource. Another couple of resources I like is For Men Only and For Women Only by Shauti & Jeff Feldhahn
Recapture Your Vision: Savor Life
Doesn't that salad look good?
Last year I had the fortune of traveling to Marseille, France to work with some friends who are connected to a group that helps people who are relocating.
One night they took me to a local restaurant, La Crepe Au Carre', my friend said, "You have to eat this salad, it will change your life." His comment threw me off a little because, I thought you go to a crepe place to eat crepes. He insisted that I try this salad, and I did.
Take a look at my image of it. It is a toasted brie and almond topped salad made with fresh, local greens, and local cheese. The dressing was reduced balsamic vinegar with a hint of strawberry. As the waiter placed the salad in front of me, a warm, sweet, aromatics of the dressing, the toasted cheese and almonds stimulated both my imagination and my appetite. As one of my old Georgia friends would say, "That looks almost to eat pretty.
Well, I ate it. And I consumed that delicious blend of cheese, nuts, and greens in a slow, deliberate manner. I felt like I had a Mardi Gras in my mouth. My friend's words were true; it did change my life. That wonderful evening of food and fellowship, a time of savoring food, and hearing about the work that God is doing in people's lives never gets old.
To savor something is to taste or smell it. It means to linger over or dwell on.
Having traveled a little bit in Turkey, Israel, Jordan, and France I get a little frustrated at how fast we live our lives in America. Fast food, constant connectivity, speed dating, always rushing. While I would never trade off the blessings of living in this great country, I am reminded, at least when I travel that there are times that we need to slow down. Times when we need to break bread with friends and family. Times when we can intentionally savor our relationship, our blessings, and yes, delicious food.
One of the easiest tools we use as we continue to look at ways to regain our vision and overcome depression is to savor pleasant memories; past answers to prayer; a meaningful Scripture verse; and positive, meaningful words spoken to you. When we purposely reflect and meditate on these types of good, positive things, our brains begin to move toward health.
Take a few moments and think about it.
Let me know if you "like this article"
Sex Begins in the Kitchen is a fun and informative book that my friend Dr. Kevin Leman wrote several years ago. His second book on marital intimacy is called Sheet Music. Both of which are still in print. I encourage couples to add these books to their reading list. Kevin has an uncanny ability to communicate in a clear and fun way about crucial things. Years ago he and I shared the microphone on national radio show called Parent Talk. It seemed that whenever he and I were on the show the topic of sexuality came up.
I mention that because physical intimacy consistently stays in the "Top 5," concerns of marital conflict.
As you and I continue to move through Shades of Love, I want to give you some tips that will improve physical intimacy. "Quantity" is the most frequent complaint that counselors hear. Unfortunately, couples often define their physical relationship in terms of "the count." How often do we have it? How many times did one or the other reach orgasm? How much foreplay was there? How long did it last?"
It's sad that we haven taken the beauty of lovemaking and reduced it to numbers. Some couples make it worse by attempting to negotiate the numbers, comparing their numbers with the "average couple," whatever that is, or agreeing to trade physical intimacy for help with cleaning the dishes.
Here are some proven tips to improve your intimacy:
1. Add some variety to your lovemaking. Some of us are too restrictive. Change the locations, times of day, or the lighting. Try some candles, new perfumes, or aftershaves. Put on some different music.
2. Vary your routine. I did a Google™ search on, "how many ways you can cook a potato", and the search came up with thirteen different ways. Amazing! If you can cook a potato that many different ways, you can be equally creative in finding ways to share physical intimacy with your partner. A nice full body massage is nice. And don't forget the shower.
3. Communicate more openly. Don't let intimacy become a guessing game. Two physically different individuals with unique personalities, life histories, backgrounds, preferences, and hangs ups must learn to talk openly about intimacy. Be careful about making assumptions. It is fine to have these conversations because communication will directly impact physical intimacy.
4. Increase the desire for physical intimacy. One of the easiest ways to enhance your passion towards your partner is to let your mind wander over pleasurable thoughts about them throughout the day.
Three tips for guys:
•Sex must become something you give to your wife and not something you take.
•You will improve your physical intimacy dramatically if you learn to give first to your wife emotionally.
•Increase your nonsexual touching. This means hugs, holding hands.
Have fun and be safe as you discover new ways to Cultivate Romance.

Shades of Grey or Shades of Love Part 2
John Thurman
"It is a luxury to be understood." Ralph Waldo Emerson
Building a relationship and being married is a team sport; you either win together or lose together.
One of the keys to building intimacy is communication. Two-way communication that is based on respect, honor, and grace is essential for two people sharing a life together.
Drs. David Olson and Peter Larson have invested their careers studying relationships. They have identified 10 Communication Skills that will enhance your intimacy.
1. Give full attention to your partner when talking. My wife gets very annoyed when I think I am listening, but am distracted. My suggestion turn off the phone, Ipad™, computer, or television and turn towards your partner.
2. Focus on the good qualities and be intentional about catching them doing good. People tend to rise or fall on our expectations, when you are intentional about finding the good in someone they rarely disappoint.
3. Be assertive, not aggressive or passive. Share your thoughts, feeling, and needs. One way to do this is to the old therapist standby of using "I" statements versus "you" statements. (e.g. "I worry when you don't let me know you'll be late" rather than "You are always late.")
4. Avoid criticism. It is a relationship killer. I think William Arthur Ward hit the nail on the head when he said, "Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I may not forget you." You can never share too much encouragement.
5. If you must criticize, sandwich it with a least two positive comments. (e.g. "I appreciate it when you help out by cooking, the food is excellent. It would mean a lot to me if you could straighten up a little after you are done. Thanks again for dinner.)
6. Listen to understand, not to judge. Two eyes, two ears, one mouth. Listening is all about trying to understand.
7. Use active listening. Summarize your partner's comments before sharing your own reactions of feelings.
8. Avoid blaming each other at all costs. Instead, work together for a solution. There is energy when we accept responsibility and decide to work towards a mutually beneficial solution.
9. Manage your conflict. (I will give you ten steps for resolving conflict in a few weeks.)
10. Seek counseling. If you are not able to have better results with your communication as a couple. Then take action. Enroll in marriage/relationship class, read a book together, see your pastor, priest, or get counseling if you need to.
One of the best ways to increase the frequency of physical intimacy is through reliable communication. When men and women feel heard, they usually are open to more intimacy.
Next week I will be writing about the five levels of intimacy.

No one is immune from being a bad person. Rudeness comes from personal insecurity, how one is raised, certain incidents that have happened in that persons life. In my experience, people that I would consider unattractive, seem to be more negative and crude. I've actually never met a mean, "attractive" person, but I'm sure they exist.

That evening Victor is obsessed with the threat of the monster appearing, and he's concerned how Elizabeth will react to the fight between the two of them. He tells Elizabeth to retire for the night and begins searching the grounds for the monster. During his search Victor hears the screams of Elizabeth and realizes the monster's true target was his beloved. Holding the lifeless body of his wife in his arms Victor looks up to see the monster's smile in the window. He rushes over and fires his pistol, but the creature is too fast and escapes by plunging into a nearby lake. Victor returns to Geneva and tells his father the devastating news. Shocked by the death of yet another loved one, Alphonse Frankenstein dies a few days later in Victor's arms. Ending his secrecy, Victor tells a magistrate about his unnatural creation that claimed Elizabeth's life, but the magistrate does not believe him. With his closest family and friends dead Victor vows to destroy his creation, even at the cost of his own life.

Victor is still crazy and overly selfish. The reader experiences the dramatic irony of his situation as he still believes that the monster is coming for him rather than realizing that he is coming for his soon to be wife Elizabeth. He doesn't even tell her about the monster, simply saying that he'll tell her after they are married. Victor still displays his selfish attitude once all of his loved ones are deceased. He devotes the rest of his life to hunting down this monster even though he has done his damage. Although he experiences the alienation and loneliness the monster experienced when all his family is killed, he still shows his true character, one of selfishness and blind arrogance in his attempt to find and destroy the monster.
"'The sun and the heavens, who have viewed
my operations, can bear witness of my truth."'
Victor leaves Geneva and the painful memories associated with it to begin his pursuit of the monster, a chase that takes him to the Black Sea and through Russia. Throughout the pursuit the monster taunts Victor by leaving multiple clues, messages, and hints to keep him on track. Now on his way to the Arctic Circle Victor encounters Walton and the narrative arrives at where it started. Victor beseeches Walton to continue his search once he has died.
Lives In
On their way home Victor and his father stop in Paris. Victor feels self-loathing and guilty for unleashing a monster on mankind. Alphonse tries to understand his son's suffering, but Victor's response only makes him come off as delusional. Before Victor resumes his journey to Geneva he receives a letter from Elizabeth. In the letter Elizabeth expresses her fear that Victor has fallen in love with someone else, but the letter itself reminds Victor of the monster's threat to be at wedding night. Victor is certain that the monster intends to kill him and resolves to fight back. Finally Victor and his father arrive in Geneva. Elizabeth is put at ease as Victor adamantly denies the existence of another love, and he confesses that he has a horrible secret that he will reveal to her once they are married. The two begin planning the wedding and soon the day of the ceremony arrives. After their wedding, Victor and Elizabeth leave to spend the night at a family cottage.

Victor Frankenstein
The monster is persistent in his quest to ruin Victor and his murder of Elizabeth on her and Victors wedding night was the last step. The monsters fleeing really shadows his sense of being lost in the world as well as shows that now that he has alienated Victor and ruined his life he has nothing left but Victor in the world. This feeling is amplified when Victor dies; The monster truly has nothing, no purpose in the world and his loneliness and confused existence pushes him to finally just give up and die.
Discussion Questions
Why do you think the monster specifically targeted Victor and Elizabeth's wedding night?
Why did the monster attack Elizabeth and not Victor when it was Victor who caused him all the pain?
What reasons do you think the monster had for targeting everyone Victor cared about?
Why did the monster never let Victor catch him?
Why did the monster weep over his creator's death if he was only treated poorly by him?
Why does the monster regret all the murders he committed after Victor's death?
Do you feel bad for Victor now that everyone he loves is dead? Or did he somehow deserve it?
Do you think the monster was ever selfish?
Do you think the fire in chapter 12 becomes more meaningful in the very end?
"The tranquility which I now enjoyed did not endure. Memory brought madness with it; and when I thought of what had passed a real insanity possessed me."
"I had formed in my own heart a
resolution to pursue my destroyer
to death; and this purpose quieted
my agony, and for an interval
reconciled me to life."
"Life is obstinate and clings closest
where it is most hated."
"You may give up your purpose, but mine is assigned to me by Heaven, and I dare not."
"My heart was fashioned to be susceptible of love and sympathy; and when wrenched by misery to vice and hatred it did not endure the violence of change without torture such as you cannnot even imagine."
"I had cast off all feeling, subdued all anguish, to riot in the excess of my despair."

Chapter Summary: Walton, in Continuation
Now the narration is transferred back to Walton in the form of the letters he writes to his sister, Margaret. Walton is convinced by Frankenstein's story and he believes Frankenstein to be a great man who he wishes to have known prior to his fall. Walton's ship is trapped in ice and his crew demands that if the ice clears they will return home. Frankenstein speaks up in opposition to this plan and gives the crew a lecture on glory, but ultimately they decide to turn back when possible and Walton feels disappointment from not reaching the North Pole. Before the ice breaks, Victor wants to leave the ship and search the area for the monster, but his poor health prevents this and soon he dies. Walton hears cries from Frankenstein's room and enters to find the monster weeping over his creator's lifeless body. The monster laments his actions and all the pain he brought Victor. Walton, unable to look at the being's hideous face, contemplates killing the creature and fulfilling Frankenstein's ambition. Before Walton can act the monster tells him the he plans to travel to the North Pole and burn himself to ensure no evidence of his existence survives. Frankenstein's creation then jumps off the ship and fades into the waves, lost from sight.

Character Analysis: Robert Walton
Waltons underlying loneliness is turned to almost cheer As he notes to victor that he may have liked to be friends with Victor before he went mad. Walton, at the same time, is almost hopeful for the revival of his destroyed voyage but after the crews remarks of going home and the death of Victor he finally settles, leaving his journey behind.

Character Analysis: Elizabeth
Elizabeth is already suspicious and worried about Victor. This nervous feeling is conveyed through her letter to Victor asking if he was in love with someone else, when we know as readers that he is just obsessed with the monster. She goes on with the wedding, happy, but meets her unfair end to the hands of the monster, all because of Victor. Her husband was her creator of her death.

Wenger rejects Flamini talk
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has rejected reports claiming Mathieu Flamini has agreed a deal to join Juventus.
Last Updated: 01/04/08 3:37pm
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has rejected reports claiming Mathieu Flamini has agreed a deal to join Juventus.
Flamini's future at Arsenal has been the subject of conjecture for some time as he has still to sign a new deal at Emirates Stadium.
The French international's current deal expires in the summer making him an attractive proposition for a number of clubs as he will be available on a free transfer.
Juventus, along with Serie A rivals Milan, are thought to be keen on luring Flamini to Italy with reports suggesting Juve were hoping to reach a pre-contract agreement with the former Marseille dynamo.
Arsenal are still in talks with Flamini over extending his contract and Wenger claims he has been informed by Juventus that they are not looking to sign the all-action midfielder.
No interestWhen quizzed over the reports that Juventus were closing in on Flamini, Wenger declared: "No. Juventus called me and told me that they were not interested in Mathieu Flamini."
Flamini has established himself as a key component of Wenger's squad this season, with his form keeping Gilberto Silva out of the side and the Gunners boss will be determined to keep him in North London.

Betty Jane Clawson Cultice of Zanesville died at home on Saturday evening, August 14, 2010 a few days after what would have been her 68th wedding anniversary. She was 88 years old.
Everyone seemed to know Betty and all who knew her, loved her. She was kind and generous and always had a smile on her face. She pursued her "causes†and faced her challenges with a stubborn pride and grace and, of course, a sense of humor. An ardent supporter of and volunteer at the old Bethesda Hospital, the Zanesville Art Center, Grace United Methodist Church, at which she had been a member for many years, and the Zanesville City Schools. Betty was also a Master Gardener, the President of the Zanesville Green Commission and an integral part of several Zanesville beautification projects.
Betty had a knack for interior design and decorating, was very creative and daring and even took harmonica lessons in her 70's. Needless to say, she was the oldest harmonica player at her recital.
However, she was most proud of her children and grandchildren. Having lived through the Great Depression and having to leave college after only a year to support her country and husband, Don, during WWII, she instilled in her children the importance of education, achievement, tolerance and unselfishness. She died surrounded by her loving family, knowing that she had lived life well and with many purposes.
Betty was born on July 29, 1922 in Springfield, Ohio, and was the last surviving child of the late Joseph and Cleta Cox Roberts Clawson. She is survived by her three children, Bob (Wendy) Cultice, of Wellesley, Mass.; Susan Cultice (Jim) Brown of Zanesville; and Peter (Trudy) Cultice, also of Zanesville; her special grandchildren, Ben Cultice, Luke and Maddie Brown and Alex and Sarah Cultice. She is also survived by a sister-in-law, Judy Faulkner, of Urbana, Ohio, several nieces and nephews and many dear and special friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Don, who died in 1998, brothers Bill and Joe Clawson, a sister, Martha Brady, and a half-brother, Howard Roberts.
The family invites friends to call from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. on Tuesday, August 17, 2010, at the Bolin-Dierkes Funeral Home, 1271 Blue Avenue, Zanesville, Oh. A private family burial service will be held at Zanesville Memorial Park.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Betty's name to the Zanesville Green Commission in furtherance of the beautification of Zanesville, the Zanesville Art Center, Grace United Methodist Church, or the charity of one's choice.

Saturday, July 26, 2008
Over the last two weeks I've seen about 8 or 9 people in public sitting with their heads literally in their hands. The youngest was about 6; the oldest, at least 60. I've felt intrusive, prurient seeing them, but I can't help staring. I thought the "head in the hands" posture was something straight out of bad fiction. Were I a different sort of person, I'd try to find meaning in this. Instead I'm looking for a poem.

James L. Palmer, II
WPPA Legislative Lobbyist
The following is an excerpt of testimony presented to the State Senate Select Committee on State and Local Government Relations in a hearing held on August 31, 2004.
* * *
Mr. Chairman and Distinguished Members of the Committee:
As Wisconsin's largest law enforcement organization, the Wisconsin Professional Police Association appreciates the opportunity to discuss ways in which the State can become more efficient in delivering public services to its people. The WPPA's members possess a first-hand appreciation of how the decisions of state and local officials impact their ability to safeguard their communities.
For many years, a public debate has transpired as to how Wisconsin's state and local governments can become more efficient. The WPPA acknowledges the significant contributions to this debate by groups like the Kettle Commission, the Sheehy Task Force, and countless others. Unfortunately, despite these contributions, programs in dire need of reform have been left virtually unchanged. Whether we represent special interest groups or voting constituencies, we have been wary of fundamental reform. We have relied too heavily on the "printout mentality," whereby our support or opposition to reform is determined by the amount of money our interests will receive relative to the previous year. Perhaps nowhere is this phenomenon more prevalent than with respect to changes in the State's shared revenue program. We believe that a fundamental reform of shared revenue is a necessary first step in controlling the costs of government and reducing the tax burden on homeowners, families, and businesses.
Wisconsinites have some very specific expectations of their governments. Those of us who work in public affairs don't need a poll or a focus group to know that Wisconsinites value their police officers, their firefighters, and their great schools. Without question, local governments provide a wide variety of valuable services, but the degradation of public safety and education only works to diminish the value of those other services. It is our belief that many budgetary decisions made by state and local lawmakers do not reflect these core values.
Speaking specifically to law enforcement interests, the general experience of local police officers whose governments must reduce their budgets fits one of two scenarios. Oftentimes, budget cuts are concentrated upon the most visible public services, such as police and fire. For example, when the Joint Committee on Finance approved a new spending formula for shared revenue in the last state budget, the then-Mayor of Milwaukee couldn't wait to rush to the podium to announce he would be forced to lay off 50 police officers and close three fire houses, in addition to a number of libraries. Now Milwaukee would have seen its shared revenue reduced by almost $24 million under that particular plan, but when you consider the fact that Milwaukee's budget is almost a billion dollars, one begins to appreciate that the sky was not falling as much as was being portrayed.
The second general experience of our membership, and quite frankly, the more common experience, is when local government budget cuts are implemented equally to all municipal departments. This may sound fair, until you take into consideration that a majority of most local budgets are comprised of police and fire services, meaning that these services are disproportionately impacted. Moreover, police and fire department budgets are largely comprised of personnel costs. Members of the legislature and the general public need to appreciate that cuts to public safety mean there will be fewer police officers and firefighters to serve our communities' needs.
These points are not meant to disparage government officials. The fact of the matter is that we have a system in Wisconsin that facilitates the very practices I've just described. This system does not reflect the values that Wisconsinites hold most dear, and is a tangible source of frustration for them. Until we can all agree on a set of core values and principles with respect to programs like shared revenue, this frustration will not dissipate, but will only become increasingly palpable. Unless state lawmakers act to counter these public sentiments, and begin to establish a system which reflects the public interest, I am convinced that the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR), or some other draconian spending limitation, will be the end result.
The debate surrounding TABOR seemed to reflect a perception amongst members of the general public that property taxes are too high, governments are wasteful in their spending, and that elected officials are not held accountable for their budgetary decisions. These were the arguments made by TABOR's proponents, who asserted that TABOR could fix these problems. This was evidenced, for example, in pro-TABOR literature which stated that the constitutional amendment "would help local politicians weed out waste and spend money on the things we really need, like police and fire services." While that sounds good in theory, there was nothing in TABOR that could have actually accomplished its stated ambitions. Putting an arbitrary cap on spending will not effectuate the kind of systemic change needed to improve the relationship between the state and local governments.
The WPPA believes that Wisconsin needs to fundamentally reform this relationship in a way that addresses the public's need for increased accountability in governmental budget-making. Specifically, shared revenue should be distributed in accordance with stated priorities, should provide incentives for consolidation and cooperation, and should protect core local services. Now we can debate how best to specifically accomplish those ideals, but we must first agree that fundamental reforms are needed, not just piecemeal improvements, and that they are needed today, and not when the economy turns around. Wisconsin cannot continue to fund its 1,850 local units of government in the same fashion as it does today.
In recent months, the WPPA has been busy meeting with a wide variety of groups about shared revenue and other spending reforms. The WPPA has engaged these organizations to explore any and all avenues to increase the level of efficiency and accountability in government. In the next biennial state budget, Wisconsin lawmakers will be confronted by a deficit of approximately $1 billion, and by the fact that the options available to reduce that deficit are limited. Likewise, state lawmakers will have a tremendous opportunity before them. The legislature can either seize the opportunity and implement fundamental systemic changes, which we admit is not without a measure of political risk, or it can continue down the same static path. If the next state budget is signed into law and does not include major reforms of the shared revenue program, the people of Wisconsin will have been failed, and the rigid cost controls of that type proposed by TABOR will be the only alternative. The WPPA believes that the risks associated with the latter are clearly outweighed by the public's interest in maintaining the outstanding quality of life available in Wisconsin.

Academic performance scores for the Del Norte County Unified School District improved slightly this year, with four schools, including Del Norte and Sunset high schools, making the most progress.
But as the district and other public schools in the county transition to the new Common Core State Standards, measuring student performance using the Academic Performance Index may change. The Common Core is expected to be fully implemented in the 2014andndash;15 school year, although students may be tested according to the new system this year, according to district Superintendent Don Olson.
"Now with the Common Core, CST tests are done," he said, referring to the California Standardized Test. "There will have to be a new baseline established. The Common Core will be a significant change from how students were tested in the past."
The district's Academic Performance Index score rose by three points, according to numbers recently released by the California Department of Education. Del Norte High's API rose by 18 points and Sunset High's by 162 points.
Klamath River Early College of the Redwoods' API increased by 7 points.
The API ranks schools based on results from the California Standardized Test, which will be discontinued to make way for the Common Core, and the California High School Exit Exams. Scores range from a low of 200 to a high of 1,000.
According to State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson, a majority of California schools have met or exceeded the statewide performance target of 800 points on the API for the second year in a row.
Del Norte's goal has been to have continuous API growth over time, Olson said. Two schools, Mary Peacock and Redwood elementary schools, had exceeded the state's target growth of 800, but slipped back by 24 and 26 points respectively, he said. But, as a whole, the district improved, Olson said.
"There's always a little plus or minus with the schools," he said. "If you're a K-5 school and you just lost a group of fifth-graders, now (you'll have) a group of second-graders testing."
Exit exam results were also released last month. At Del Norte High School, 190 students out of 230 took and passed the math portion, while 184 out of 228 took and passed the English-language arts test.
Districtwide, 197 out of 242 students passed the math portion of the exit exam, while 190 out of 239 passed the English-language arts portion.

Company culture
They will preach to you about their culture. That they are a family oriented, celebration culture. But they expect to be your family and the celebrations don't amount to much.
Support from Management
In my experience, their expectations are not realistic. No matter what you do, it's never enough. And at least in the areas I worked, don't expect any thank you's or pats on the back. Goals are clear, just not how to achieve them. You may be included as long as you say, yes sir.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'DVD' started by BethHarrison, Jul 13, 2008.
From DVDTimes
I hate to be churlish, but I'm sure there will be fans of 'The Singing Nun' (of which I'm not one, I have to admit) who already have the first collection who will be slightly miffed at that bit of marketing genius. As for the second, I'll buy it simply for 'Holiday Affair'.
Pity about BLOSSOMS IN THE DUST being an exclusive, as it would be the one I'd buy. Oh well...
Yeah, the marketing hook is strange to say the least, but we're getting these titles out on dvd which is what's important. Crawdaddy
The new collection is fabulous - every title in it is must-have for me, some of my long-wanted favorites are in it (especially Holiday Affair and Blossoms in the Dust) It Happened on 5th Avenue is a lovely - somewhat Capraesque -and little-known holiday film well-worth having and ditto for the touching All Mine to Give. And I guess I will buy the first collection (I only had Christmas in Connecticut) so I can get The Singing Nun. I love Boys' Town too so that won't be a problem! I am buying the whole thing or more likely will receive the whole thing for Christmas Thank you Warner for this "Christmas in July" surprise!
Looking forward to IT HAPPENED ON FIFTH AVENUE, an Allied Artists holding if I'm not mistaken. ALL MINE TO GIVE, BLOSSOMS IN THE DUST, and THE SINGING NUN are borderline-morbid, but BLOSSOMS is excellent and a good example of early Technicolor. Marsha Hunt gives a memorable performance in it and it would be great to have her do a commentary but unlikely since it is a bonus disc.
The story for THE SINGING NUN is sappy indeed, but Debbie Reynolds does the best singing of her career in this film, and I'm furious about not being able to have it without double-dipping on the box set (already purchased). Looks like I'll be visiting Ebay.
I would say sweetly sentimental or syrupy, but never morbid! Schmaltz moves me to tears in a positive "feel-good" way. More please!!!
Sounds like bad news for those of us who were hoping for a Halloween "Holiday Collection", if Warner can announce a Christmas boxset for November, we should have already heard about the Halloween one. Looks like it'll be stuff all this year from Warner as well ... And, correct me if I'm wrong, but we haven't had a Warner Chat this year, have we? I guess the execs didn't want to keep saying "no, we're not releasing..." over and over.
Strange that there are no bonus materials listed here. Even if the majority of Xmas-themed archive stuff was used in Volume One, it would still be nice to have a few shorts added, even if they are only ones with a wintry rather than an Xmas theme. Can't complain about the box's price, though!
That DVD Times excerpt over-looked the fact that the sequel Men of Boys Town was included in the first box set , which means with The Singing Nun one would get 5 films, so hopefully they overlooked the bonus features on Volume 2. I liked the Christmas shorts as much as I liked the films, and from what I recall from a list someone posted in an old thread on this site (I think), Warners has quite a few holiday-themed shorts and cartoons in their vaults. Normally I would be bothered by having The Singing Nun released in such a way but finally having seen the film last year on TCM, I had better not say anything.
You would hope that Warner's would offer "The Singing Nun" in some kind of mail in offer to the people that already picked up the Holiday Collection Volume 1 on its original release date. Evidently we purchasers did a good enough job for them to bring out a second collection, which by the way is outstanding in content.
Yeah same here! I really only want that one! I find it strange that they chose Blossoms in the Dust. I'll take this as a hint that we will never get a Greer Garson box set.
IT HAPPENED ON 5TH AVENUE was the first Allied Artists film. That's a nice surprise for this set, as I don't think the film has been telecast in ages. Going by Turner Classic Movies' message boards, it seems that many people have seen the film and remember the plot but not the title. Every December, someone on the boards will ask for the name of the Christmas film about the "hobo and friends who move into a mansion while the owners are out of town," using practically the exact wording of Warner's plot summary quoted above.
A HOLIDAY AFFAIR (1949) bows on R1 DVD! Hooray! Now, if only Universal will see its way clear to finally release its currently-MIA Christmas classic, REMEMBER THE NIGHT (1940)*, all will be swell this Yuletide! * and, if they really wanted to make me happy, they'd make a Fred MacMurray comedy double-feature DVD, pairing it with the Halloween-appropriate MURDER, HE SAYS (1945).
Good choices. I wasn't expecting that The Singing Nun to be in a holiday collection nor Blossoms in the Dust. The latter shall look wonderful just for the sake of seeing Greer Garson's flaming red hair in Technicolor. Now I can take that off my list.
Blossoms in the Dust??? I wasn't expecting that one. Another Greer Garson on dvd. This movie alone makes the collection worthy. And Holiday Affair also...great news indeed. I've never seen the other two, but I'm willing to. This set is a must buy for me.
That's a pair of films I would gladly pay for too. ---------------
COME TO THE STABLE from Fox is one of the alltime great Xmas films and I'm surprised that it hasn't been released yet.
Both collections are up for preorder at the Warner Bros Store for $16.07 each after current 30% off coupon. Use code: ANWBTS to get 30% off an order of 2 or more items (won't work on one item).

Ugh. How full my plate is with all these gnats and camels. No wonder I am so fat. I really must watch my diet and eat only the Bread of Life and drink only the Living Waters. Gotta cut down on those camels. They keep getting stuck in my teeth.......or is it they keep getting my foot stuck in my mouth?
LOL..............Camel is not bad if you can get the right sauce!

Rules Of Coin Collecting
Coin collecting is something that takes time to learn. The most important thing to remember is that you are doing it for the right reason - if it is a passion, then it is something worth pursuing. Collecting just for profit may work but it usually is not enough in the long run. A person really has t
Saddle Ridge Gold Coins Benefit Non-Profit
The California couple who found the hoard of coins on their property, now known as the Saddle Ridge Hoard, have decided to use the first piece of their newfound wealth to help save a National landmark. The landmark in question is the Mint that struck the majority of the gold coins found in the hoard
Searching For Dime Sleepers
Over the years there have been many arguments and debates over whether dimes and quarters represent the last true working coins in U.S. small change. The arguments typically center around whether cents and nickels are simply too small to make a real difference when it comes to any real purchasing po
Seated Dollar Surprise
The surprise of the 1860-O Seated Dollar is quite an interesting tale. Reportedly, a few thousand of these dollars were paid out by the Treasury at face value during the major silver dollar release during the years 1962-1964. One would have to wonder how minted coins that were already over a century
Selling Coins Online
Selling coins on an online auction can be hard work, enjoyable, satisfying and often times frustrating, but it can also be quite rewarding. This is certainly not a get rich quick scheme and you will not become a millionaire from doing it. However you will get to exchange messages and talk to many
Selling Gold Coins Serious Business
People own gold coins for many reasons. Some collectors buy them as an investment. Other folks buy gold coins because they enjoy collecting them. And this again can be for a variety of reasons. Examples are building a type set or collecting a particular series. And some lucky people inherit a collec
Set Your Gold Investment Goals
If you are a coin collector or a gold or silver bug, you have likely been called every name in the book. The only important thing that matters is if you are right. If you bought your gold or silver at the bottom of the market, it doesnt matter what the naysayers have called you, you made the right
Shield Nickel Type Coins
Some type coins in a type set can be tough to locate. One of these type coins is the Shield nickel with rays as they were only produced in 1866 and for a short time in 1867.
Should Cash Be Abolished?
It seems to be fashionable to think that cash will soon be abolished and we will migrate to a cashless society. Really? With the news of yet another breach of the federal governments data banks in the news, do you really feel that any form of electronic payment is really that secure? Dont bet on it
Should Collecting Outrank Investing?
This is always an ongoing debate among coin collectors. Should you be a collector or a rare coin investor? A recently auctioned Proof-63 1804 silver dollar realized a disappointing $3.5 million. This could be a classic example of why some collectors say you should be a collector rather than an inves

RIP Professor Randy Pausch
Prof. Randy Pausch Dies at Age 47
Not all of us believe in prayer – though I do. But if in some way we can all hold a thought for Randy Pausch and his family, this would certainly be a time to do so. He was a brilliant man who shared with the world, intentionally or not, the absolute wisdom all of our souls seek. He will always be a man to be admired.
I have had Randy's lecture on my website since October. It is still there if you have not had the chance to watch it.
My Thoughts on a Silly Story
Woman sues after engagement breakup – She wins 150k!!
Okay now, I am oh so familiar with that bitter, jaded jab of rejection. Better than I would like to admit actually, but really…really??!! I mean, yes, I understand she left a high paying job for the schmo. And I am sure he deserves all he has coming to him (don't they all?? JUST KIDDING…chill). But breaking up, being dumped, picking the wrong person…that is all a part of life. And so are the extra consequences that come along with these annoying little lessons. We get back up, dust off the shattered glass and Taco Bell Nacho artillery and do our best to move on while simply holding a grudge and cashing in on our bitching rights for the rest of our lives. I mean wow…if I would have sued every time some guy made my life hell, was the reason for my bad choices or even for lost money – shit, I'd be on a beach in Hawaii right now googling "top breast surgeons" and paying the nanny. Not only that, but I could even try to repo that Depeche Mode tee shirt I loved so much and the white elephant gift my family traded for years. But no. I will be content to endlessly pine, regret and feel shame for some of these tools in my closet of love skeletons. That way, they stay the assholes, I stay the victim and all is right with my dark satire fairy tale.

New drive including partitions (F:, G:) appeared.
So today when I started up my PC, windows suddenly wanted to do some drivescan on startup. It started checking and indexing files. I thought this had something to do with the fact that I had reinstalled Windows the day before.
Ive tried it twice and both times the indexing froze halfway. Once at 59% and once at 77%. I assume it froze since nothing happened for over 20 minutes each time.
The third time I decided to just skip the scan.
When my pc booted up and I went to check on my drives (since the indexing got me curious) there suddenly are 2 new ones. One drive is named Local Drive F: the other one is named Boot G:
The F drive has 84,7 MB free out of 99.9. When opened up it shows no files.
The G drive had 31.9 GB free out of 58.5 GB. It contains Program files/Windows folders.
Is this something I should worry about? I have no idea why they are there or what their function is.
|My System Specs
|03 Jun 2013
Windows 10 Education 64 bit
F is the Windows 7 system reserved partition. It normally wouldn't have a drive letter and be hidden. It would only show up in disk management. You should be able to remove the drive letter with no side effects. Right click that partition and select "change drive letter and paths". Then click remove. G may be an OEM partition that also shouldn't have a drive letter. I can't say for sure but that's my guess. System reserved has recovery utilities, etc on it. Now that it has a drive letter it will be indexed and accessed by system restore. If enough restore points get saved it will eventually run out of space and you'll get a low disk space warning. Same deal for the other drive.

F is most likely "system reserved", although it hasn't a label. G is most likely an old winOS. You have 2 disks in the system, you must remember you did install windows on it before.

Thanks for your replies!
My C: drive was actually used to store my old WindowsOS I think. Anyway, I havent done anything since I made this post besides some gaming (no reboots or anything) and suddenly the drives have dissappeared. They dont show up in Disk Management anymore either.
What I did do is stop windows from indexing in the future.
I was told that when im not using the search function all that much, I might as well stop indexing.
Would that be considered wise? Or would it be better if I turned it back on?

You can delete volume F and G in disk managerment if you are sure you never use them. Delete the OEM partition as well. F, G and OEM aren't involved at all in the boot process.

Once you move the data off and delete F and G in Disk Mgmt, I'd partition it Logical to keep it from derailing the boot files from C if you ever do a repair or reinstall. Partition / Extended : Logical Drives - Windows 7 Forums
This is why its best to have your Win7 drive always in the DISK0 slot, set to boot first. You can move it now if you want, or if it's easier partition the data drive Logical so it can't accept System Boot files.

Home From HomeAt one point in my life, I spent a lot of time in record stores. Mostly through the 1970s and 1980s. It was the place to be to find the latest releases and to search for interesting rarities. Fingering through racks of album sleeves and paper covers of seven-inch singles...

Good Times, For Sure!Oh the times I had talking about my faves and getting introduced to music I never would have chosen otherwise. I humbly admit, I thought I knew a lot about music until I walked into my first big record store!
I like thumbing through racks at used recordstores, looking for some gems.. very often I will just buy a stack of random lp's just for the hell of it.. I have found some great stuff this way.. Garage sales and flea markets are great places to find records also..

Little Gateway To Heaven...That's what I feel like I'm walking through when I walk into the door of a record store. This overwhelming feeling of calm and peace washes over me as I stand and look around at all of the records. There's nothing like the smell of old vinyl. The sweet musky smell of music...

As I was prepping for my last week of the college semester I had an overwhelming urge to bake a bunch of cupcakes. Following in the footsteps of the Candy Cane Cupcakes I decided to make more holiday inspired flavors. Both the cakes in question would have a chocolate base and they would both be filled, something I hadn't tried. And two very different flavors, Andes Mint and Chocolate Covered Cherry. The Andes is so named because there are actual Andes brand ingredients. OI am sort of an Andes addict. Shhh..don't tell anyone…
For both cakes, here is the recipe I used for the cakes. I have never made chocolate cake from scratch before this and if you want my advice I would use dutched cocoa or something with a nice cocoa flavor, The toll house and hershey is too mild. If you like chocolate, invest in some good cocoa!
Chocolate Cupcakes – From The Joy Of Baking – I added more cocoa.
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 cup boiling hot water
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour (I used my Ultragrain flour)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated white sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly butter, or line 16 muffin cups with paper liners.
In a small bowl stir until smooth the boiling hot water and the cocoa powder. Let cool to room temperature.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Then in the bowl of your electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture and beat only until incorporated. Then add the cooled cocoa mixture and stir until smooth.
Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter and bake for about 16-20 minutes or until risen, springy to the touch, and a toothpick inserted into a cupcake comes out clean. (Do not over bake or cupcakes will be dry.) Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool
For the Buttercream –
2 sticks room temp unsalted butter
4 Cups Powdered Sugar, SIFTED
1/2 tsp salt
Flavors – Peppermint or Mint extract for Andes, 2 TBS, and add more to taste. Cherry Extract, 1 TSP, and be careful because too much cherry will make it taste like Nyquil!
3-4 TBS milk
Colorings: I use Wilton's gel, and used Christmas red and leaf green
Instructions: Cream the butter in mixing bowl with paddle attachment. Slowly add the powdered sugar until its all incorporated. Add flavor and color and milk until it starts getting smooth. Scrape the sides down and add more milk. If you want a stiffer icing use 3 TBS, a creamier icing, use the full 4 TBS.
To Decorate: I used the cupcake kit from Wilton and used the giant star and the filler tips. First I filled then simple swirl around the tops for both. For the Andes I cut up some Andes Creme de menthe cookies and used the crumbles for sprinkling, then I took Andes Baking Chips and melted them on the stove, then poured them onto a Silpat mat and then after it hardened I broke i into pieces.
For the cherries I took dark chocolate and shaved it into pieces and then topped with a cherry cordial.
And there you have it, 3 delicious holiday inspired cupcake treats, not from a mix. I'm impressed that the chocolate turned out so well but I am for sure tweaking the recipe to get more flavor and moistness 🙂

Hussain said he is going to bring his vehicle back to get the front fixed because when he took his vehicle in to get the back fixed it was awesome. He went to another place and it wasn't as good as this one.

Shhhh... Here in the UK it is getting late. So I'll make this quick. Today I taught a workshop at Bird's In the Barn in Marks Tey. We had a fab time and the ladies created some fab pages.
The pages this month were focusing on craft paste for texture as well as lots of layers with stencils and stamps. We incorporate lots of different techniques on the pages, all which can be used on other projects.
It was a organic workshop designed to free creativity, and move out of your comfort zone. These were the inspiration pages. You can see what the ladies created by following this link.

I really enjoy watching 'hidden camera' and 'prank' style videos on YouTube, I decided to write this blog post sharing four of my favourite 'YouTube Pranksters'. I am going to list the four in no particular order, they are all as good as each other in different ways.
1. Jack Vale -
Jack Vale, owner of Jack Vale Films has to be on of the most awkward person to watch on YouTube, his hidden camera videos are sometimes very hard to watch. Jack makes no end of different prank videos, with the majority of them in various shops around America, where he pranks the shop assistants. He sometimes uses a little gadget called 'The Pooter' which allows him to imitate realistic fart sounds. My favourite series of videos that Jack creates is called 'I'm Married', in which he awkwardly tells people that he is married, implying that they are hitting on him. Overall the videos are a great laugh, and at the end of his videos you usually see him showing his victims (the public) where the hidden camera is located.
2. Ed Bassmaster -
Ed Bassmaster is one of my favourite YouTubers for playing different characters in each video. I could name no end of series that Ed creates that are good, some of my favourite series and characters of his include 'Look at it' where he tells people to just look at things, 'Hacker' a hippy style character who smokes too much, 'Skippy' a slightly simple character, and probably my top on the list, 'Bluetooth Man', where he stands near people and asks a question, and then tells them he is talking on his bluetooth (Its funnier than it sounds).
3. Tom Mabe -
Tom Mabe from YouTube channel 'MabeInAmerica' is the third person in my top four list. Tom used to have his own television show where he would do good old pranks, and now he does them for his popular YouTube channel. Tom is a good laugh to watch, and the more you watch of him the funnier he gets. My favourite video of his is called 'Prison Break Prank'.
4. Greg Benson
Greg Benson of 'Mediocre Films' is the fourth youtuber in my top 4 prankster list. Greg hasn't made a prank video for a few months now, but when he does they are hilarious. One of my favourite videos of his is called 'Cell Phone Crashing' where he goes up to someone else having a phone call, and pretends he is talking to them.The video can be viewed below.
