Easy Exercises : Horsing around
They say that dogs are man�s best friends. They should add horses to the list as well. Horses can be found rounding up cattle, racing around a track and taking their owners on leisurely treks through the woods. They�ve been around for centuries and people are still riding them. Take a look at the photographs and answer the questions that follow.

Karaoke Korner : Word on  the street
It looks like Nelly�s lost his girl to another man and, while he used to be the �other man� in a relationship (i.e. a man in an affair with a woman who already has a boyfriend), he seems to have turned over a new leaf. Now Nelly sees his girlfriend with a new man and he doesn�t like it. Luckily for him, the last verse shows that perhaps the girl is starting to forgive him and they may get back together.
