Matchmaker's Mansion: Ch. 4"It's so good to see you again," Shaun clapped his hands together, a short lock of his gelled bangs bouncing over his forehead.
"Yes, well," Asha shifted on the white chair. Her heart was battling with her mind, arguing whether she should leave or stay.
"Oh, and look at the results of your last quiz. They're excellent! Oooo….except for the last boy…but that wasn't your fault." Shaun's eyes roved over the papers he held in his hands. He shuffled a
Can you guess who is who by their kiss? Thanks for reading- I adore you for it!
A single line sat in the middle of the white paper. "I grant any of the partners assigned to me permission to kiss me."
A shocked Asha looked up at Shaun with wide eyes.
"We have to warn you ahead of time. Some people don't like to be kissed without notice." He smiled warmly.
"Oh," Asha said, not being able to find anything else to say. She swore she was cursed with a tongue-tied disease whenever she stepped into Matchmaker's Mansion.
She read the sentence one more time and signed on the line beneath it.
"Very good, I'll lead you to your room then," Shaun said, quickly putting her signed paper in a business folder.
Through the curtained door they went, weaving in and out of brick-walled corridors that smelled of wet stone until they stopped at a door with a golden sun engraved into its woodwork.
"This," Shaun said as he pushed the door open, "is the Sun Room." A wave of fragrances poured out of the room.
Asha gasped at the sight of the floor-length windows and the flowers so bountiful they were nearly spilling out of their flowerbeds. On little raised islands of marble, the flowers sparkled with dew drops in the rich dirt.
"Wow, it's so beautiful! This place looks like it could be in Heaven," she twirled in the sunlight streaming through the windows, looking up at the ceiling painted blue with puffy white clouds.
"Yes, it does seem that way," Shaun said as she bent over to smell a patch of red roses. "But we have a quiz to complete and only so much time to complete it. Please take a seat on this bench." He pointed with his entire hand at a stone lover's bench. Its rock surface was warm from the sun and the heat soaked into her cold legs when she sat down on it.
"Now don't be alarmed. I have to blindfold you," he produced a long white clock from his suit pocket.
"But why?" she said as he tied it behind her head, unintentionally catching a few of her brown hairs in the knot. The flowers vanished from her view, only seeing the cloth.
"Because the results of this quiz will only be determined correctly if you have not met or seen your three partners."
Asha sighed. "When will I ever get to finally see them?"
"Patience, miss. It will be soon enough. Can you see my hand?"
"Only a faint shadow," she said.
"Very good. I'll send them in soon. Expect three kisses, one from each. Afterwards we'll collect information on your feelings toward each one. I'll be leaving now." She heard his shoes clap on the polished stone as he walked over to the door. The door opened and shut with a thud and once again she was alone. But not for long.
She stiffened at the sound of a soft patter on the floor and a shadow darkened in the blindfold over her eyes. His presence was nearly overwhelming. She could feel the way he held his rigid back, his body resonating with power.
Slowly, he leaned forward, pausing a few inches away. His minty breath caressed her skin, which had formed goosebumps from his closeness. Her heart beat rapidly, almost near ready to explode.
Leaning forward just a little, her lips met his. His lips were soft against hers, becoming gentler as he deepened the kiss. His kisses were so light as though he were afraid that if he kissed her too hard that she would shatter. Asha's mind buzzed with electricity, but slowly he pulled away, his gentle warmth receding into the shadows. His only remnant was a minty smell that hung in the air.
Asha was left feeling confused. He had been willing yet withdrawn at the same time.
Before she even had time to recover from the last kiss, a pair of lips aggressively pressed against her's, then softened. He pulled away a little, then when he went back for more, teasing her by flicking his tongue over the edge of her bottom lip. Asha's heart did a flip, wishing she could rip off her blindfold and jump into his arms. But the kiss slowed and he ended it with a soft kiss to the corner of her mouth.
She smiled once he had completely pulled away, relishing the sweetness that lingered on her lips and brain. Little sparks bounced up her arms and she shivered them away.
Pausing, she felt a new presence in the room, a dark and mysterious mood. It neared and connected with her when his finger turned her chin up. His lips descended, lightly touching her's, and then pounced, nearly devouring her lips.
Asha never thought someone could tell who "the one" was through a kiss, but as his soft lips moved over her's…she felt like they were two opposite magnets locked together by a powerful force. Fireworks exploded in her head, making her feel as light as a cloud. And she literally found herself floating upward—rising from her seat to push deeper into the kiss. They didn't miss a beat as she stood up on her tiptoes, his chest warm beneath her hands. Their hearts thumped a million times per second, lips working in perfect synchronization.
All of a sudden, when the kiss was nearly at its climax, he broke away, leaving her breathless and in slight shock. She stood there, missing his hard chest under her hands and his passionate kiss. Standing all alone she couldn't handle the mystery any longer, she ripped off the blindfold to find herself alone in the Sun Room, the dying sun hovering above the horizon through the window.
She slowly licked her lips, the pressure still fresh on them along with the taste of strawberries. Sighing deeply, she wondered which of the three boys he was. She would find him somehow…
Asha absentmindedly swirled her dish towel over the dripping plate.
"Asha, are you alright?" her mom looked over at her with an alarmed expression. "You've been drying that same plate for the past few minutes and it still isn't dry."
Asha snapped out of her daydream to realize what she was doing. She laughed guiltily, "Sorry, mom." She put the dish down and took a new one from the drying rack. "Mom?"
"Yes?" she said as she leaned over the sink, stray locks of her brown hair hanging over her tired face.
"How did you know that dad was truly "the one?" Asha tilted her head.
"Well," her mom said, pulling off her rubber gloves and laying them on the edge of the sink. "I'm not really sure there was a certain moment…it was more like an instinct." She handed Asha another wet plate. "But there was that one thing that sealed it all, like everything just clicked."
"What was it?" Asha leaned forward, ready to absorb her every word.
"A kiss," her mom smiled, gazing out the kitchen window into the night. "And he wasn't even a good kisser," she laughed lightly, but her eyes were misty.
Asha quickly put down the plate and enveloped her mom in a tight hug. "I miss him, too, mom. But he'll be back soon. Right after he gets enough money and finds a job closer to us." She squeezed her mom a little tighter.

Letters of John Keats To His Family and Friends
I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.
Letters To A Young Poet, Rainer Maria Rilke
To love is good, too: love being difficult. For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.
People talk about the conscience, but it seems to me one must just bring it up to a certain point and leave it there. You can let your conscience alone if you're nice to the second housemaid.

I have a notion that gamblers are as happy as most people, being always excited; women, wine, fame, the table, even ambition, sate now & then, but every turn of the card & cast of the dice keeps the gambler alive.
The Letters of Charles Dickens
I can do nothing that I want to do, go nowhere where I want to go, and see nothing that I want to see. If I turn into the street, I am followed by a multitude. If I stay at home, the house becomes, with callers, like a fair. If I visit a public institution, with only one friend, the directors come down incontinently, waylay me in the yard, and address me in a long speech. I go to a party in the evening, and am so enclosed and hemmed about by people, stand where I will, that I am exhausted for want of air. I dine out, and have to talk about everything and everybody. I go to church for quiet, and there is a violent rush to the neighbourhood of the pew I sit in. and the Clergyman preaches at me. I take my seat in a railroad car, and the very conductor won't leave me alone. I get out at a Station, and can't drink a glass of water, without having a hundred people looking down my throat when I open my mouth to swallow.
The Letters of a Post-Impressionist, Vincent van Gogh
When shall we see a generation of artists with healthy bodies? At times I feel really wild with myself; for, after all, it is no good being either more sick or more sound than the others; the ideal thing would be to have a temperament strong enough to reach the age of eighty and to have healthy blood withal. Still without all this one would be consoled if only one were sure that a more happily constituted generation of artists was going to follow the present one.
The George Sand - Gustave Flaubert Letters
I am not at all surprised that you don't understand my literary agonies. I don't understand them myself. But they exist nevertheless, and violent ones.

Winter is cold, wet, and rainy. Stray and pet cats will hide inside the engines of cars to keep warm and stay away form the cold. Please be sure to check for cats before starting your car! You may think it would never happen to you, but it could very well happen, don't be ignorant and cost a kitty his life.
Before starting the car, bang on the hood a few times, and be sure to slam your door, these simple things can warn a cat, and give it time to remove itself from your engine.

i wouldnt have an exact answer, because to be honest, there isnt a real reason why i do. theres just something about you. your personality, the way you smile, or your humor. something about you catches my attention & draws me to you.

Nancy Grace may actually suck up to judges -- rather than go after them -- in the next few months, because she's signed on to "Dancing with the Stars" ... TMZ has learned.
We're told Grace and her partner met for the first time in Atlanta last week. This could be another Kate Gosselin situation, where Nancy practices in Atlanta so she doesn't miss her TV show ... then travels to L.A. once a week for the live performance.
So that's what she meant by "The Devil is Dancing Tonight."
the only devil is harvey levin who pays baby killers for pics
well that does it for me i wont be watching this year unless someone that i just cant live without is signed on. nancy grace as got some cajones, to think that america whats her on a show that has enuff controversy to begin with. what r those producers thinking?
Please cancel that piece of crap show species.
How about putting Celebrity Rehab alumni on the show?
Maybe dig up Jeff Conaway and put some wheels on him. He'd be great on the show.
When I saw she was "going somewhere," I clicked on the article hoping her destination was HELL!
Every illusion is worked so as not to show how short Nancy is ( sources go from the most likely 4'11 to counting heels & hair 5'1 )
Are they going to get her a 4ft partner to keep her dancing tall?
It seems that folks do not understand that NG is a powerful VICTIM'S advocate. You would like her if your mother's throat was slit and she put her heart & soul into finding justice and revenge for your family. She is famous because she is a fighter and despises evil.
Hoooooooooooray!! I can't wait to see NANCY GRACE on DWTS,
I'm ready to VOTE 4 NANCY GRACE!!!! MAX, MAX, MAX, MAX, MAX
MAX, MAX, MAX, MAX waaaaaaay too CUTE & COOL!!!! The Irish
hunk is cute, too, but not has GOOD LOOKING AS MAX, MAX, MAX!!!!
Hideous, horrible hag Nasty Grace will flush DWTS ratings down the toilet.
Can not stand this woman! No DWTS in my future. Get a life Nancey Grace quit making a mockery out of everything. Hope TOT MOM throws a pie in your face!
Watching this (Insert Large Redneck Farm Animal Here) Dance will be disgusting. This Thing needs to be put on death row not DWTS.
@Piggy..you are a mean, dirty evil pig when wishing Nancy Grace to fall and hurt herself..What goes around comes around so you might want to walk carefully or be careful on the dance floor!!
I hope Nancy Grace shakes her booty like she has never done before..She has my vote all the way..
Too bad those of you who are bad mouthing her don't really know how much good she does with her show in helping innocent children who have been abused, raped and even murdered..
She is a kind and loving person while she can be unnecessarily rude with her guests..I hope those of you who criticize her have as long a mother as Nancy is.
YUK! No, this woman is a hate-instigator, that is her role at her other network show. Please, can these sorry people stay off the dance floor. Boycott this show until it gets some class, somehow. Or is it too late for DWTS, even with the multi-million dollar stage makeover?
OK, The name should be changed to Dancing with the leftovers. Or Dancing with no stars. It could be all the people that we love to hate.

Child Abuse: Don't Ask, Don't Tell
A judge rules that parents can choose whether they want to know if their child was molested.
Police believe as many as 30 babies and toddlers might have been victims of abuse at the hands of British childcare worker Vanessa George. Up until now, George, 39, had not divulged the identities of her victims. The former childcare worker is charged with 17 counts of child pornography counts and two counts of sexual assaults on children.
This week, George finally told her lawyer the names.
Now, says the judge presiding over the case, it's up to the parents who left their children at the Little Ted's Nursery in Devon, England -- where George worked -- if they want to be told if their child was abused.
"If they don't want to know, and I fully understand why some parents should not want to know, then the information should not be thrust upon them" said Mr. Justice John Royce.
According to the BBC, many families in the case do not want to know if their children were victims. "It's a lot for them to take on board and some just want to try to forget and get on with their lives," said one source.
Given the choice, would you want to know if your child was abused?
You'd have to. These children will need lots of counseling and help. It's not about the parents, it's about the future of these children. This woman makes me sick.
I'm not sure. If I knew I would want to seriously hurt her. I don't know if I have enough self control to be able to stop myself.
Ummm…how could you not want to know. The kids that did get abused will need counseling and support from their families. im guessing here, but even if they say no they dont want to know, the will see moods and such that will tell them that something happened. It's better to know up front and help the child deal with it.
I would absolutely want to know. It's a must in order to begin the healing process for both the victim & they're family. As a child I too was molested, but did not get help for it until I was older.
I am a mother to be, and if someone decided to keep this from me it would make me sick. How are we suppose to help these children deal with what the have gone through? As a child I was molested, and if my mother had not helped me through it I see it would have been damaging.
Heck yeah I wanna know. I really don't understand the statement that some families just want to forget and get on with their lives. What? What about the child. The child can't forget what has happened to them. Even at a young age it can and will effect them. So for a parent to know so that that they can be able to help their child get thru any tough feelings that may have later would be a absolute must. What do you say to little Susie who grows up to be 15 and can't figure out why she has an unhealthy anxiety around older men? Will you just brush it off because you didn't want to know back when she was 3 that she was molested and you chose to forget about it but she didn't. Not knowing is like not acknowledging that your child is a person. You don't know and it didn't effect you so why find out? Are people deliberately trying to make their children mental cases?
Do they have the death penalty in England? Look at that woman's face. I don't live in England & my child was not involved in this horror, but I'd still like to punch her in her fat, unremorseful face! What a complete pig. And that's the nicest thing I can say about her!
Yes, You have to know! It's not about you it's about the child and they will need counseling.
It is known that children who are molested and don't get help continue the cycle. They need to get help so they don't become predators and stop the cycle.
Those poor children my heart goes out to them. I hope the parents can be selfless and put the children 1st and get them the help they need.
Its more a "need to know" than a "want to know" issue to me…I don't think any parent "wants" to know that particular truth, but needs to, in order to take care of their child!
Are you joking me? There are actually parents who don't want to know? And the judge has given them a choice? That is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard! Of course you don't WANT to know, but you HAVE to! And yes, it is a very difficult situation to go thru, but you have to. That is your child.
I wouldn't want to know but what choice would I have? Ignoring the implications of abuse could really hurt the child in the long run if something isn't done about it. I was sexually abused as a 6 year old and unfortunately, I remember every bit of it.
Child abuse is permanently scarring and it hurts to think about parents who would rather not know because they can't deal. I beg you: find out and learn how to deal. Seek help and teach your child how to overcome. Pain can be used to reach out and help others. Trust me, I KNOW.
yes i would want to know without a doubt, due to what i have gone thru! i know what i have gone thru & the scars it has left me with, low selfesteem, do you realize how many times you ask yourself why me? what did i do? guess that is why i am seeking help now due to domestic violence case, need help ASAP!!!! redheadedtexan

Professor Emeritus Lifelong Learning
Room B29, Pathfoot
School of Education
University of Stirling

Currently, I serve as the School's Director of Research. I have a long-standing background of interest and involvement in lifelong learning. Recent publications include edited collections on Mental Capital and Wellbeing and Researching Transitions in Lifelong Learning. I have just completed a new book on British work camp systems before 1939, which is being published in 2013 by Manchester University Press, and am editor of the new Sage Handbook on Aging, Work & Society (also due in 2013).
Externally, I serve as a Visiting Professor of Birkbeck College, University of London. I currently chair the Advisory Board for the ESRC Research Centre on Learning and Life Chances in Knowledge Economies and Societies (LLAKES), University of London. I served as a commissioner of the National Commission of Inquiry on the Future of Lifelong Learning. A summary of the commission's findings can be read here.

Complete list of publications Aug 2001 - July 2006
My research interests encompass the social and economic contexts of adult learning, policy in lifelong learning, and the history of adult education and training. Together with Professor Gert Biesta, I co-directed the Learning Lives project (www.learninglives.org), which is now being written up for publication. The project examines the meaning and significance of formal and informal learning in the lives of adults, and was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council as part of its Teaching and Learning Research Programme. Theoretically, it is concerned with the interplay of learning with structure, agency, identity and change over the life course.
I am also involved in a transnational study of Access and Retention: Experiences of non-traditional learners in higher education (http://www.ranlhe.dsw.edu.pl/). Our research looks at how non-traditional students in higher education experience the processes of learning, how they perceive themselves as learners and how their identity as learners develops. It involves case studies in seven European countries, and is funded by the European Commission.

(Cont).Not to mention, Americans dying. Patients having major surgery in NHS (British) hospitals face a much higher risk of dying than those in American hospitals. Doctors comparing mortality, found that people who have treatment in Britain are four times more likely to die than patients undergoing similar operations in the United States. There is good reason to want Obamacare repealed.
Obamacare was a rushed through, poorly thought out enormously complex and wasteful program. There are much better systems that a more carefully analyzed process could have created. For example, in Singapore, everyone pays into a health insurance scheme, but there are benefits for those who don't use it. There are incentives for those who choose healthier lifestyles or decide to forgo expensive treatment. Instead, what Obama and the Democrats forced into law is British-style rationing supervised by box-ticking bureaucrats and technocrats. This will lead to wide variance in the quality of treatment we get; long waiting lists; surly, grudging, unionized service (think of the U.S. airport experience); and truly astounding levels of waste. Not t
This is about the 50th story like this, coming from around the country. And we can only imagine how many millions of votes are being stolen from Republicans. If the Republicans were doing this, I would be furious. But the liberals aren't making a peep. They are perfectly happy to steal this election. Just one more reason why so many once idealistic young citizens, drop out of the Democratic Party. We want no part of all the dishonesty and thuggery. It's un-American and offensive.
In response to:
" President Obama's Environmental Protection Agency has devoted an unprecedented number of bureaucrats to finalizing new anti-coal regulations that are set to be released at the end of November, according to a source inside the EPA." God help all of us if Obama is re-elected. Coal is cheap electricity. Our bills could quadruple if Obama gets his way and uses regulations to kill the coal industry. By the way, Obama lied to our faces when he claimed the coal miners do not support Romney. They do. There's a heartbreaking video where 500 coal miners are holding a press conference trying to fight back against the Obama political machine. Heartbreaking. Obama is a bald faced liar. He has no shame.
In response to:
As convinced that I am, that teachers' unions are about adults' jobs, not about educating children, I must say that online schools, in my experience, do not do a good job of educating students. Because, human nature being what it is, the kids can too easily not study, not do their homework independently (not that kids in school always do so either), and who knows who is providing the answers to online exams? Anyway, the kids I know who attended online schools, didn't seem to have learned much of anything. Perhaps, it depends on an attentive parent essentially acting as the teacher during the student's interaction with the online program.
In response to:
Mr. Habeeb, I love your daughter's name. That's all I wanted to say.
Yes, we know, Obama hides whatever it is that he did in college and graduate school, but one can easily imagine the courses he must have taken and the student organizations he must have joined, given the MILLIONS of dollars that team Obama has spent to suppress the release of those records. Let me see, how about: "Marxism 101", "Promoting Communism in Democracies" , "How to Infiltrate and Destroy Liberty in a Free People" etc. Also, what organizations must Obama have been active in? "Students for Overthrowing the Government",, "The American Young Communist Party". Where there are millions of dollars in smoke, there has to be fire.
Mr. Obama has attended as many as six fundraisers in a single day. At least a few of them are always the $38,000 a person variety. And one wonders how much arm twisting his handlers had to do this summer to keep him from going off to Martha's Vineyard and his $50,000 a week resort. I'd bet a thousand dollars that the day after the election,win or lose, the Obama's will leave for some overpriced extravagant vacation destination. That's who they are. And their obvious contempt for Americans, not just Republicans,but even their own supporters is utterly offensive.
In response to:
Our media is so wedded to hard left ideology, that there is nothing that would turn them against Obama. Unless he totally lost it in front of a camera, and said what he really thinks of Americans (he not only has little but contempt for us, he genuinely dislikes us.) Come to think of it, since the media basically agrees with him, they still wouldn't turn on him. Until they became the object of ridicule amongst the real intellectuals (us, not them). Then and only then would they stand down. Begrudgingly.
In response to:
First of all, Carter wasn't hated, because he was/is a decent, honest man, trying to do his best (in a way that didn't work, much as socialism never has worked). Clinton lied constantly, and was immoral. He used his political position to habitually abuse women. Obama campaigned as a moderate who would reduce the size of the federal government, stop wasteful government spending, and never sign any legislation containing earmarks. (He actually said those things, not once, but repeatedly in 2008.) He also promised to unite our nation. Now I ask you, can you figure out why anyone who voted for Mr. Obama in good faith would be furious with him?

never seen a country functioning so well
Belgium is finally becoming what it was projected to be – Brussels D.C.-it is the capital of the European Union.It is all like in the US-Federal Capital District,no state.The EU is moving twice as fast towards becoming the first post-nation states era, organization or institution on earth.Funny it needed the biggest economic meltdown and crisis in its 60 year history to turn on the rocket engine.Nobody realizes or simply refuses to see the writing on the wall-Europe is not falling apart it is morphing into an superstate(biggest economy in the world,biggest exporter in the world,biggest developed single market,500 mio. population,second largest military force)The European Union is continuing to absorb its neighbors.The next 10 years will be crazy in Northern Africa-yes Egypt,Tunisia etc.Brussels is already planing to use the current crisis to force open the markets in the Med Region and to economically incorporate those countries just like it did with UK,Norway,Turkey and Switzerland.
unlike any other nation they havent started looting but just sit back and arrange a party for the world record of " goverment making " it is rather comical to see how much better the country runs with no goverment
There is no 'federal' governement in Belgium at the moment.
But there are still 5 other governements (Flemish, Walloon, Brussels, French community and German community) in Belgium.
Michael, it is not comical it is logical …
@ pieter: we have 6 governements left:
Wallonia, Flanders, Brussels
French speaking, Dutch speaking and German speaking territory…
Flemish and Dutch speaking governement have been fused. And we have a Belgian governement. They have the authority to take care of day to day matters. Parliament has to approve the rest. And all parties have made it very clear that they won't cause any problems. I honestly don't see why foreign journalists are making such a fuss. The Belgian model has to been rewritten and that takes time. We are one of the riches countries in the world. Reforms will hurt political parties (especially financially). That's why they're reluctant and why we aren't worried.
Dutch speaking and Flemish government merged at their inception… at one side of the language border they have managed to be a bit more efficient. Commom pattern lately?

Religious Freedom Office Ambassdor To Be Named At Event In Ahmadiyya Community Centre

It's a time-honored tradition at Navy homecomings – one lucky sailor is chosen to be first off the ship for the long-awaited kiss with a loved one.
Today, for the first time, the happily reunited couple was gay.
The dock landing ship Oak Hill has been gone for nearly three months, training with military allies in Central America.
As the homecoming drew near, the crew and ship's family readiness group sold $1 raffle tickets for the first kiss. Petty Officer 2nd Class Marissa Gaeta bought 50 - which is actually fewer than many people buy, she said, so she was surprised Monday to find out she'd won.
Her girlfriend of two years, Petty Officer 3rd Class Citlalic Snell, was waiting when she crossed the brow.
They kissed. The crowd cheered. And with that, another vestige of the policy that forced gays to serve in secrecy vanished.

In the late 1880s, the body of a 16-year-old girl was pulled from the Seine. She was apparently a suicide, as her body showed no marks of violence, but her beauty and her enigmatic smile led a Paris pathologist to order a plaster death mask of her face.
In the romantic atmosphere of fin de siècle Europe the girl's face became an ideal of feminine beauty. The protagonist of Rainer Maria Rilke's 1910 novel The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge writes, "The mouleur, whose shop I pass every day, has hung two plaster masks beside his door. [One is] the face of the young drowned woman, which they took a cast of in the morgue, because it was beautiful, because it smiled, because it smiled so deceptively, as if it knew."
Ironically, in 1958 the anonymous girl's features were used to model the first-aid mannequin Rescue Annie, on which thousands of students have practiced CPR. Though the girl's identity remains a mystery, her face, it's said, has become "the most kissed face of all time."

I may have made a 100 mile drive today, but I also wrote a whole lot and just having time to sit behind the wheel cleared up my thoughts a lot and let some new ideas germinate that I think will make the story I'm telling much better, so today wasn't unproductive in terms of writing at all.
What I've been writing lately, I'd consider it akin to being told to engrave the Declaration of Independence on a grain of sand without leaving any details out, but I've gotten the hang of it and I'm very pleased with the results so far.
While I'm backing off on making gaming related YouTube videos, I'll have something cool to share with you tomorrow there.
But speaking of gaming, I got through Dodongo's Cavern in Ocarina of Time 3D, making this the first time I've played this far into the game since 1999 on Nintendo 64.
I visited Lon Lon Ranch today for the first time in this playthough and wow, there was something really oddly emotional and magical about entering the ranch and hearing Malon sing Epona's Song and meeting Epona and learning the ocarina song that totally went over my head the first time I played it.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Enterprise is filled to the brim with school spirit! The teachers are always willing to help those who ask for it and there are plenty of clubs and sports to join! Enterprise is awesome with athletics, arts, and academics (3-A). There's defiantly something for everyone!
It is a safe school. Copy and paste the following link from the California Department of Education and compare the numbers. http://dq.cde.ca.gov/dataquest/Expulsion/ExpReports/DistrictExp.aspx?cYear=2010-11&cChoice=DstExp1&cCounty=45&cNumber=4570136&cName=Shasta+Union+High The coaches (the most on-campus coaches in the area) and teachers have a great feel for what is going on and stay on top of issues. They hold kids accountable and get the most out of the kids. EHS is the 3-A school: Academics, Athletics and Arts. The kids feel connected to EHS, thus the school spirit is unmatched by any school in the area. I know test scores don't show an accurate picture of the teaching going on. EHS services all kids to include a high number of students with diverse needs. When you compare kids that go off to college they EHS students are just as prepared and successful as any student in the area. EHS consistently has students attending MIT, Harvard, Stanford, etc.
I love going here. The music program is awesome and the teachers are wonderful. Wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
My son spent 4 years here and My daughter is currently a sophmore. I could not be more happy with Enterprise as a parent. I really appreciate the music program and I think it has helped my kids with other aspects of their high school experience. Keeping the kids in the hardest classes has really paid off and I recomend other parents push their childeren academically also.. they will have better teachers and more of a challenge to their kids.
We've got the spirit, we've got the tradition, we've got everything.
I've attended EHS for 1 year, and so far...it is just like any other school. There is nothing that brings it above average except for their music program, which im not in. However, most of the teachers are pretty awesome and easy to communicate with. I am going to take and AP english class next year, and my teacher has already helped me out a lot with my summer home work. Some of the students here may have bad reputations, but you dont have to let that affect you. I have made some great friends here. Overall, i think that this school is worth coming to.
My experience with my daughter's school has been fantastic. I have found most all of her teachers to be caring and capable, not to mention accessible. I did meet one time with the administration and I found the principal to be someone who listened to my concerns and helped me to correct a problem in one of my daughter's classes. We moved here from out of the area and I am glad that Enterprise is a school that respects differences and yet has high expectations of it's students. She feels comfortable with the students (says they are friendly and not cliquish) and feels the teachers expect her to do her best. We did visit the two other schools in the area but preferred the administration and counselor at Enterprise. We made the choice for our daughter. Finally, a school for my daughter that I can place my confidence in!
With the exception of a small handful of select instructors who truly do care, the rest of the staff leave much to be desired. From a parental standpoint it usually requires threats to contact the school board to get any kind of response.
I have been at Enterprise High School for a few months now, and I have to say, Its not what I expected. The teachers really don't care and seem stubborn and unwilling to help. Most of the kids have horrible attitudes and bad reputations, and the school seems to worship the sports programs, mainly the football teams. And the band team attracts similar attention too. I cant wait till I get out of this school, and find a place that is not filled with wanna-be gangsters, who's vocabularies consist of only slurs and cuss words. And no offense to the parents, but until you have attended this school, (which some of you may have), then you can't really say this school is great. The staff just puts on an act that they really care at all.
I have attended Enterprise High School for four years and I can safely say that this school has a 'variety' of excellent music, athletics, and academic programs. Students are encouraged to excel by their teachers, are very approachable, and always willing to help. Administration is always seen around campus talking to students and disciplining those who need it. There is a place for every student in the numerous clubs offered throughout the year. The music department directors do not turn down any student eager to explore their musical capabilities; they are willing to work with those who seek direction. Overall, Enterprise is the school that parents in the Redding area should send their kids to. I could not have asked for a better high school experience.
Even though I've been at Enterprise for a few months, I know enough to say that it's a horrible. For academics, there are Honors and AP classes are offered but there is not much of a variety. The teachers are unwillingly to help with work, the staff is not friendly, student's reputations are awful, and much more. Students are not nice, and to get through high school, you need friends. The sports program has a variety, yet it is too competitive. The only good reason to put your child at Enterprise is because of the music program. But, you need a lot of experience in order to fit into that program. Overall, do not send your kids here. And, there is only one bus offered so majority of the kids have to walk home in heavy traffic in a metro area. That is not safe. Do not send your kids here.
Wow! I was told to send my daughter to Enterprise by the principal in my own district of Palo Cedro (which is also a great school)because of her interest in music. We were prepared to send her off to a private music school in Southern California. Can't say enough wonderful things about the influence the music teachers and parent volunteers have had on our daughter and my son even transfer from a great private school to get in on the fun. The teachers we have had are for the most part great, campus is clean and everyone is friendly. The administration handles problems efficiently and is very courteous to everyone who comes on campus. Lots of opportunites for those willing to apply themselves.
Great school, great music and art programs academics are good.
This school is not very good. They offer little in the way of extra curricular activities, and the staff leaves something to be desired. They have good intentions, introducting new and innovative programs that, unfortunately, aren't well researched. These programs are inneffective, or have no follow through. My self and my cousing were both part of the CAAMP program, and the way the program was set up let to difficulties in testing and in applying for college. Also, I had a new principal every year I was in attendance there.
I attended EHS for 2 years, and I feel that in the core classes and even electives, the majority of teachers are willing to stay extra hours for their students, its not that help is not provided, students just do not take advantage of its avalability. There is also a tutoring program avaliable after school that is free of charge. As far as extra cericular activities, EHS has some of the best sports teams in Shasta county, and the Music department is spectacular. I can't speak for sports, but anyone can join music, some talent certainly helps, but music does not discriminate, the willingness to be there alone will allow you to succeed. Enterprise is also the only school in the Shasta Union district which hosts a JROTC program (Naval branch) to teach leadership skills, respect, and personal pride. Overall, Enterprise High School is a good school.
I think EHS is a great hight school, certainly the best in Redding. Their athletics program is great, and their music program is amazing. The teachers are caring and the academics program is also great! EHS is a very diverse school, great for any type of student, whether they're into sports, music, journalism, or getting a good education.
Prior to my son coming to this school, he had an outstanding scholastic record. The classes are too big, the teachers too willing to ignore an obvious need for more personalized help. The school's unwillingness to provide simple bussing for my child infuriates me. We are within the bussing 'area of need' the school itself predetermined. Yet because my children are 1.1 miles further than the traditional 'last stop' The school refuses to go that extra mile for one of its students and we are even on the SAME street as the school itself is. My son should not be forced to walk 4 miles in heavy traffic to go to school. I should not be forced to drive him every day either! It has been pointed out that it is causing a hardship to our family as we have a home business I am forced to leave unattended twice a day to taxi my children to and from school. If I weren't so 'near' this school I would switch my boy out and put him into a real school.
The school is great if you are a jock, in music or wealthy. Anyone who does no fit into these categories is pretty much a non-entity. The sports as well do not seem to be particularly equal-opportunity. I don't believe it to be well-rounded as schools go; and with all the great incoming teachers-to-be it is unfortunate older, unenthusiastic staff remain, particularly in the English department which could be much better.
My child attended another high school in this district and I am more that happy to have her going to Enterprise than I was having her at the other school. She does will here and the staff is so helpful. They will go out of their way to help anyone in need.
