Gerard makes a hard decision
His head pounded and his breath tasted of the bottom of an ashtray, plus he was thirsty enough to drink a river dry, he got up and fumbled his way to the bathroom, noticing as he went that he was the only one there.
He gulped down about 5 glasses of water and returned to his bunk, daylight didn't seem a good idea right now, his thoughts returned to the night before, he was drunk beyond belief, all he could remember was throwing up in a cab and Ray looking at him in pure disgust, he figured he got rescued by the boys as he always did, he owed them his life, they pulled though for him on many an occasion, he had a feeling this was going to be a bad day, he would no doubt have a good telling off from all of them, but now he was just enjoying the cold pillow against his warm cheek and the dozy feeling that was taking over him.
He opened his eyes and realised he had fallen asleep again, looking at his watch he saw he'd been out for another 2 hours, the bus was eerily quiet, so he got up to investigate where everyone was.
He enter the living room area which was abandoned, he went over to the fridge and poured himself a glass of milk, he kind of liked it like this, at least no one was shouting at him, and telling him how disappointed in him they were. He decided to get his art pad out, he was feeling inspired and he wanted to get his ideas on paper , funny how he always wanted to draw after a wild night, almost as if it awakened his creative side, he did some of his best work while coming down from something, be it drugs or alcohol, although that side of his life was behind him now, he had been trying to find something healthier to bring out the artist in him ever since being sober, but nothing came close.
After an hour of sketching nothing in particular his concentration was disturbed by the sound of the bus door opening, he looked up and was greeted with Franks solemn face.
"Good night Gerard"?, Frank asked with a hint of sarcasm
"I'm sorry, I know it was wrong, just kinda got outta hand", he stated trying to sound sincere and apologetic
"Well, it's a good job Nick knew where you were otherwise we might never have found you", he crossed his arms in front of his chest and frowned
Great now Nick was some sorta hero, fucking fantastic Gerard thought to himself
Gerard didn't say anything he knew whatever he said would just fuel Frank into a 2 hour lecture about being a good influence on the fans and how many people he had let down, he just sat with a naughty schoolboy look on his face.
"You were doing so well Gerard, what the hell possessed you to do that shit", Franks face fell and tears threatened his eyes
Gerard felt true remorse for the first time since it had happened, to him it was just a slip that he desperately needed, that he wouldn't do again in a hurry, but he realised his friends wouldn't quite see it like that, they would be worried he was headed down that slippery slope again, he never meant to make them worry like that, he just didn't think.
"Frank I promise it wont happen again, it was just a temporary setback", Gerard prayed Frank would believe him but he knew it wasn't going to be that easy.
"Gerard I cant watch you go thought that again, whatever is driving you to do this, sort it out now"!, Frank demanded as a fresh tear fell down his pale cheek, he turned and left quickly obviously so he wouldn't break down in front of Gerard.
Gerard felt like he had been hit with a ton of bricks, what the hell was he doing? The guys had had enough of seeing him in a mess to last two lifetimes, the repercussions of what he did last night were coming back to bite him in the butt big-time, he was disgusted with himself and what was worse he knew he had another 4 band mates to deal with who would no doubt take the same view as Frank, and then he had to face Kelli, this was going to get a hell of a lot worse before it got better.
4 hours later and Gerard was receiving another ear battering from Mikey who was most affected by Gerard's actions
"You gotta promise me that's it, no more Gerard", he said with his hands firmly on his hips
"Look im really sorry bro, it wont happen again", this was like the 50th time of apologising today,but he didn't mind so much he knew he deserved it.
"If this is about Kelli, just fucking tell her before I do", Mikey threatened with his eyes wide.
Gerard's heart plummeted, would Mikey really do that? Hell yeah he would!
"Mike ill tell her when im ready, I just need to get my head straight", added Gerard with his head hung low
"If that how you get your head straight, I suggest you don't bother", said Mikey
"Jesus Mike what am I gonna do"? Gerard said as he felt the sting in the back of his eyes and everything went blurry as wet tears formed in his hazel eyes, his face screwed and he choked on his words as he finished them, he could no more fight breaking down in front of his brother as he could stop the world turning.
Mikey joined his brother on the sofa sitting down next to him, he put one arm around his sobbing brother in an attempt to comfort him.
"Geez Gerard does she mean that much to you"? Mikey asked softly
"She means everything to me, im so fucking in love with her I cant see straight", Gerard managed to get out in-between sobs.
"Just tell her man, at least you'll know one way or the other, you cant keep doing this to yourself", Mikey added rubbing Gerard's shoulder with his hand. He hated seeing Gerard in this state.
"I can't, id lose her completely, besides I bet she thinks im a total screw up now", Mikey handed him a tissue.
"You need to talk to her about everything, she wouldn't do anything to hurt you, she's worried about you, if you shut her out, your just gonna drive her away", Mikey said trying to give his brother some wisdom.
"Yeah I guess, its just so fucking hard", Gerard said calming down, and wiping his eyes
"You want me to go get her?, now's as good a time as any", asked Mikey expectantly wanting this resolved A.S.A.P.
Gerard contemplated, did he have the strength to do it now? Before he could think too hard he felt his head nod as if by itself, looks like it was now or never.

PASADENA, CA - JANUARY 06: TV Personality Suze Orman arrives at OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network's 2011 TCA Winter Press Tour Cocktail Party at the Langham Hotel on January 6, 2011 in Pasadena, California. (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) *** Local Caption *** Suze Orman
Financial expert Suze Orman proclaimed to a crowd at Barnes and Noble in Union Square last night that the American dream is dead.
"The old American Dream is dead – the dream where bigger, better, and more was the goal," Orman said Thursday night. "Those days are dead for the majority of America and I think that's great because it's a waste. It's a waste of energy. It's a waste of space. It's a waste of money that you were earning."
She added, "We have now entered what I'm calling 'the new American dream,' which is a dream where you value who you are over what you have. You value your money more than the things your money can buy. "
She released her 10th book, "The Money Class: Learn to Create Your New American Dream," this week and said its major theme is "to stand in your truth in every action, every word and every thought that you think."
"If you always do what is true all the time, I promise you will attract more love to you than you will ever have any idea what to do with," Orman said.
Orman answers viewers' questions about money and investments as the host of her CNBC program "The Suze Orman Show," as well as on segments of the "Today" show, but says her new book will give readers the financial education they need to have.
"You have got to read this book and take notes," Orman said. "When you open it up, the class is in session and it's going to be a class you won't want to miss."

Boneless Pork Ribs
Posted By Heather On November 19, 2009 @ 10:59 pm In Recipes,What's for Dinner? | 4 Comments
[2]This month, I am again participating in Book of Yum's Adopt a Gluten-Free Blogger event [3]. It's a great event that encourages gluten-free bloggers and foodies to try gluten-free recipes by other gluten-free bloggers and write about the experience. I often see gluten-free recipes on other websites that I want to try, but put off actually making them for various reasons.
This month, I decided to try a recipe for Firehouse Boneless Pork Ribs [4] posted by Brian at Fire and Salt. Brian is a firefighter who began cooking gluten-free for his celiac wife. He has a lot of great-looking recipes on his blog, and I was glad to finally get a chance to share one of his recipes with you. I had never cooked boneless pork ribs before, but decided to buy them at the store when they were on sale. I was happy to find Brian's recipe. It looked fabulous!
[5]So, I gave it a try. It was so quick and easy to prepare. The slow-cooking method made the meat so tender it almost melted in my mouth. And the flavor was just as good as I expected. The best part about the recipe: my kids liked it, too! I never know if they're going to eat food I prepare from a new recipe. They were a little hesitant, but did try it. My daughter's first comment was "yuuuumm!" Well, that pretty much says it all. A perfect recipe to share for this month's edition of Book of Yum's Adopt a GF Blogger.
(I served the pork ribs with a little extra barbecue sauce, along with my husband's famous garlic mashed potatoes and my Broccoli Mushroom [6] casserole.)
Brian has recently posted many recipes that would be great at a Thanksgiving or holiday dinner, so be sure to check them out:
And let me tempt you with some more of the decadent desserts he's made:
So many good gluten-free recipes out there to try, better get started….

Putting Performance on the Map: Locating Quality Schools in the Kansas City, Missouri School District
Since 2003, IFF has been a leader in studying the distribution of performing schools in urban school districts, using its distinct methodology to publish reports and spur educational reform in Chicago, St. Louis, Denver, and Milwaukee.
Putting Performance on the Map: Locating Quality Schools in the Kansas City, Missouri School District, funded by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, analyzes performance, location, and enrollment at Kansas City, Missouri School District (KCMSD) and charter schools during the 2008-2009 school year. The report also analyzes the District's "Transforming the KCMSD" plan as it impacts the data collected by IFF in the preparation of the report.
Putting Performance on the Map identifies the five zip code areas in Kansas City with the greatest need for performing schools as determined by comparing current school enrollment, the school-age population, and school performance across the district. Ultimately, we find that 85 percent of KCMSD students do not attend a school that meets Missouri state standards for academic performance, and that the majority of those student reside in just five KCMSD neighborhood areas.

Prom 2010: Expensive and Slutty
High school dances just got trampy.
This year, the prom is looking more like a "Rock of Love" casting call than the classic, formal black-tie event it's traditionally supposed to be.
According to the New York Post, the days of looking elegant are over -- at least in New York City. On prom night, NYC teens will bare their breasts and their bellybuttons (yep!). Even retailers are stunned.
"I can't believe that mothers let high-school girls buy these dresses for prom," says an anonymous sales associate at Saks Fifth Avenue, who adds that she's embarrassed to sell some of the dresses to teens.
"For prom this year, girls want short and poofy or long and tightfitting, with everything cut out -- the sides are gone, the back is gone, the front is basically gone," says Nathan Vaknin, manager of Fiesta Ladies Fashion, a dress store on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn.
"Personally, I think it's too much, but we sell whatever puts money in our pocket," he says. "The parents might say no at first, but I don't think anyone can convince these girls to get a dress besides the one they really want."
Really? When our mothers bought prom dresses, they could have "convinced" us to wear potato sacks, since they were the ones wielding the plastic. And speaking of dough, moms are plunking down a lot of it. Despite their skimpy material, some of the most popular frocks this year are priced at $400 a pop.
Ann Shoket, Seventeen Magazine's Editor-in-Chief, has even weighed in on the drama, saying that the trend is overblown and assuring moms that most kids want to look modest "like Miley Cyrus." Uh oh.
Although the New York City Department of Education doesn't enforce a dress code for proms, some principals have taken matters into their own hands, inspecting girls' outfits at the door and altering them with safety pins, or even sending them home to change, if they arrive looking too risqué.
Tell us: Given that many of the girls attending prom are 18 years old, is it OK to allow them to dress sexy?
Slutty Prom Dresses
Yeah… just got trampy… even though that is the same photo gallery that Momlogic has trotted out the last two years…
If you click on the bold-type "dresses for prom" supposedly mentioned by a Saks Fifth Avenue employee, you are brought to a picture gallery of dresses made out of food. I doubt that high-schoolers are buying these dresses. Also, they have half the quote from Ann Shoket. She did mention Miley Cyrus, but it was in reference to her peach colored, floor length Oscars gown. In the same sentence, she said that girls are looking to dress like Taylor Swift. *Perhaps MomLogic should quick stirring the pot and using old photos to create half articles.
Just say no to your kid if she wants one. It's not that hard.
Parents become prudes. That's factual.
When I was 18 my hair was well below my shoulders and I eventually became the founder and publisher of an award-winning monthly magazine for seniors that I sold just after my 50th birthday and was able to fully retire.
Not bad for a long-haired hippie guy.
Leave the kids alone and let them do what they want. They only get to be kids once and this prudish parental behavior only disguises jealousy of youth. Stop it.
Parents - moms or whoever is taking the girls shopping or funding the purchase should be saying no. I raised my daughter wearing modest clothing and to this day she dresses nicely, tastefully and modestly. Part of a parent's responsibility is to teach our children how to dress and behave in a decent manner.
What happened to the days when kids who were attending the prom still had an edge of innocence?
I think that most girls wear tasteful gowns, you usually know who the ones are that are going to wear the skimpier dresses - and sometimes it is a price point for some parents - the girls going to my sons prom - thier dresses range from $110 - to $500 - it is what the parents or sometimes the girls themselves can afford - and if no one is there to tell you the dress in inappropriate, how are you to know? I say, don't be so judgemental, and I do think that this momlogic website is spiteful and mean!!!!
"PARENTS ARE PRUDES? AND LET KIDS BE KIDS?" My sister runs a daycare and she just took 7 applications to the high school for teen moms! Seven applications!! What's wrong with dressing modest? Girls can still dress modest and be beautiful!
Yes, the answer to teen pregnancy is modest dress! And what happened to innocence? I'm not sure where you grew up or when but I was having consensual intercourse at 15 with a wide variety of the girls I went to school with, perhaps as many as 20 or 30 before high school graduation. Children are sexually curious and rightly so. The fact that they have sex with one another and the adults around them seek to control that behavior just shows how out of touch these adults are with reality. Prudes, all of you.
Kids who were attending the prom still had an edge of innocence? Well there's someone that lived a sheltered parental controlled life. Who tied your shoes for you, Mom?
Kids have never been truly innocent.
Parents can just say NO to slutty clothes.
Slutty prom dresses have been popular for more than 20+ years, this is NOT new news.
And as for you, Jeff Prager, you are obviously NOT a parent or you wouldn't be spouting off such nonsense…
I would agree that trampy dresses are not new and clothes alone don't prevent teen pregnancy. But also agree parents need to be parents and set limits (clothes are just one of those limits).
As for Jeff…epitome of who we want our teens to be … proudly posting of indiscriminate sex…makes me curious as to whether he's still interested in our teenage girls and trolling pictures of "slutty" dressed teens.
I have a 28 year old well adjusted daughter with 2 grandchildren, both girls, and the reason my daughter didn't have sex before she was 18 is because we had an open and communicative adult relationship which is what happens when a father has sole custody of his child and raises her as a single parent. I'm also one of only two people here that's used their real full name. Connect with me on Facebook and you can see pictures of my stunningly gorgeous daughter. As for trolling, I'm a well adjusted American male that responded to this post via the email I received from Momlogic because I'm a member.
Curious, I'd call you a moron but that would be too kind.
Really??? Jeff Prager..the last time I checked, having sex with 15 year old girls can put you in prison in most states. Just shows how dumb of a person you are to be posting that information. Modesty has long gone out the door for most of these teenagers and it is sad, however all is not lost. I believe they just need guidance and not just from parents, but adults on a whole that they are assoicated with. For those of you who believe in prayer, just pray for our your people; it helps.
Yeah, right, prayer will get you, ummm, let's see, NOTHING. And at 15 having sex with 15 year old girls isn't against the law and as a 56 year old man admitting the truth that makes up my life is more then most people would be willing to do. I grew up during a period of American history when "peace, love and rock n roll" were the order of the day and we all experimented with both drugs and sex and I'm a better person for it. My achievements in life are public, the awards I've received as an adult are noteworthy and I'm not afraid of the past but I certainly am well aware that prayer only helps those praying and even then it's benefits are highly suspect.
I inadvertently posted a comment as "Anonymous" and surely didn't mean to. The comment above, regarding my 28 year old daughter and my two granddaughters is my comment.
Teenagers go through pases, and experimenting with clothing is one of them. My mom, who grew up in the 70s, told me she used to wear tube tops and daisy dukes, and she turned out ok. If you don't want your kid to wear it, tell them no, but most kids at prom just want to wear a strapless long dress (at least in my area), and I don't see that as "slutty."
Jeff sounds like the moron. What he did was ok 'cuz everyone else was doing it. That's exactly what we want to teach our kids. I'm a single mom too, raising kids with healthy dialogue AND limits AND moral foundation built on faith in God (oh, which involves prayer). By the way, that can happen in households with 2 parents too Jeff. You're right Jeff, some of us experimented and that's part of growing up and we learn from our mistakes but there's also nothing wrong with trying to help our children avoid dangers too.

Drug take back makes a haul in Island County

"In total we collected over 300 pounds of unwanted/unused pharmaceuticals from citizens throughout Whidbey Island," Brown said in a release, thanking Whidbey's newspapers and others for advertising the event.
"On behalf of the Island County Sheriff's Office, Oak Harbor Police Department, and the Coupeville Marshal's Office, Chief Ed Green, Marshal Lance Davenport, and I, we would like to thank everyone involved in making this a truly successful event that contributes to not only getting dangerous drugs out of medicine cabinets, but protecting our environment as well."

'[O]bjectivity' in Washington journalism does not mean being free of opinions; it means the opposite: dutifully echoing the official opinions and subjective mindset of those in political power. In the eyes of official Washington and its media mavens, spouting opinions is not a sin. The sin is spouting opinions that deviate from the ones expressed by and which serve the interests of those in power.

Never mind the "war on women:" According to growing numbers of bloggers, activists, and authors — some of them women — it's males in modern Western society who are under siege and whose rights need defending. Is this the next frontier for gender justice, or a woman-hating backlash? Men's advocacy raises important and worthy issues that often draw unfair ridicule. Unfortunately, it is also prone to toxic rhetoric that subverts its valid points and alienates potential supporters.
To many, the very notion of "men's issues" or men's rights seems laughable. But consider: If women were dying in 90 percent of workplace fatalities and three out of four suicides, would we not see such numbers as troubling—and as legitimate women's issues? Yet, reversed, the disparities go unnoticed.

At a lecture called 'Rethinking the World's Water Problem' last Thursday, Dr. John Agnew, professor of Geography and Italian at UCLA, discussed the relevance and political importance that water policy will have in the future.
In his lecture, Agnew spoke on the political implications of handling water problems and how the current view of water politics has developed. These water problems include access to water in developing countries, the availability of water in regions where the resource is limited, and the sharing of water resources across national boundaries.
"Water is a very important issue. Perhaps [it isn't] a defining world crisis, but I think we have problems recognizing that we can deal with this kind of problem in a political way," Agnew said.
During his lecture, Agnew focused on the potential of politics to be a better mediating force. He discussed the lack of belief in the capability of political dealings to resolve issues and argued that politics should not be seen in such a negative light, as they have been the origin of much success.
"Politics are all about compromise, yet we live in an era when all or nothing is its leading motif. Politics, in my view, offer the possibility of thinking and acting in such a way that they can actually change how the world works," Agnew said. "The fact that politics provide tools for resolving conflicts, which otherwise remain intractable and can lead to violent confrontation, no longer seems very important."
Agnew discussed the preconception that water issues have led to the general consensus that it is an unsolvable problem. He then contradicted these beliefs by pointing out the trend of water treaties in the last century and how it has not led to any sort of war.
"Water will be the defining crisis of the twenty-first century," Agnew said. "Not because of the problematic geography of water alone, but especially because of the terrifying [idea] that there is nothing that can be done about it."
He concluded his lecture by pointing out how politics can be influenced by the public through political participation and that people actively being a part of democracy can lead to policy change for the better.
"Cooperation and negotiation are the key to success in this crisis," Agnew said. "The linguistic and symbolic cast of most water treaties is to see water as a source all parties need, in varying degrees, and must be shared in light of local requirements and relative availability, rather than solely in terms of wider nationalist or corporate goals. We have politics available to us and we need to invigorate them to actively shape the world."

Just Tap to Print with the New NFC Printer from Samsung (sponsored/video)
I loathe printing. Why? Simply put: getting the document – which is more often than not a shipping label – to the printer from my phone or computer is an exercise in futility, or so it would seem. Ideally my phone would some how be able to magically spit out labels. But alas, that is neither here or there. However, there is a second best option. It's Samsung's line of Express Printers with NFC.
Just launch Samsung's handy print app, tap your phone to the printer, and whamo, prints will magically appear without the need or interference of a computer, poor network connectivity, or any of the caveats that are usually joined with the always cumbersome printing experience.
But that's not all Samsung's Express Printers can do; it can also scan and fax. Using the very same NFC technology you can fax documents with a simple tap, or store your scanned photos directly to your handset. Great for those who do business the old school way (i.e. faxing) or are studying in school (i.e. scanning).
In addition to the above features, you'll also enjoy: WiFi direct printing, fast printing speeds (fast CPU and copious RAM), a one touch eco button to save on toner, and remote monitoring.
Samsung's NFC enabled printers start at about $180.

Get this: things have ended badly for a Texas football team that pinned its hopes and dreams on Terrell Owens.
"Bit of a scorpion and the frog vibe," wrote ESPN.com's Dan Graziano in reaction to the Allen Wranglers' announcement that they were releasing "the most highly anticipated player in [Indoor Football League] history."
Yep, they even called him that in the press release announcing they were dumping him.
The wide receiver had lived up to his billing on the turf, with ten touchdown catches in eight games for the suburban Dallas franchise. But team president and co-owner Tommy Benizio said there were other problems, particularly Owens' failure to show up at a team appearance at a local children's hospital.
Also at issue was Owens' refusal to play in upcoming road games in Nebraska and Washington, though Calvin Watkins of ESPN Dallas reported in January that "Owens is only contractually obligated to play in home games, but he can also participate in some road games if he gets a portion of the merchandise sales and gate."
But where the Wranglers' press release really buries the lead is with its second-to-last line (as befits lead-burying), which says, "additionally, Owens will no longer participate as a team owner."
When Tim McMahon of ESPN Dallas first reported the Wranglers' interest in T.O. on December 30, 2011, he wrote that Owens would earn a "a mid-six-figure contract" and an ownership stake of "likely 50 percent."
According to McMahon, the Wranglers primary owner, Jon Frankel, also estimated that the franchise value of the Wranglers would be $5 million if Owens agreed to the deal.
"We want the media circus," Wranglers GM Drew Pearson, the former Cowboy, said then.
In what is probably the most accurate measure of this story's gravitas, it received wall-to-wall coverage on TMZ.com. TMZ reported that the team's "buyout" of Owens's ownership stake was $50, and that Owens released a statement implying that he might consider legal action.
One TMZ post, which was headlined "$50 Screw Job and BOOTED From House," also said:
Sources close to T.O. tell TMZ the Allen Wranglers notified their star player, in writing, he had 48 hours to get out of the house they provided him -- and to hand over the keys to the 2012 Jeep Cherokee they gave him to tool around the Texas town.
T.O.'s possible financial troubles, including his child support payments (most recently documented on Dr. Phil ) and foreclosure on two Dallas condos are well documented .
But here's where it gets interesting. TMZ also interviewed an unnamed former Wranglers coach, who pointed out that T.O. had played in three home games since his no-show at the children's hospital, and that in his opinion, the team simply couldn't afford to pay Owens anymore. As TMZ wrote:
The coach thinks T.O. was the latest in a series of budget-related cuts on the Wranglers -- a culling that included the coach himself, who was let go in March.
Eric R. Ivie of Yahoo! Sports noted that when Owens signed, the average IFL player received just $225 per game, plus a bonus for winning.
So signing Owens was a huge investment. And as it happens—not that we're saying TMZ reported the wrong month or anything—the Wranglers actually fired their head coach, Pat Pimmell, on May 1, just after a two-game losing streak that dropped the team from 5-1 to 5-3. He has not been replaced, which de facto saves the team some money. (The Wranglers' offensive coordinator and defensive coordinators, who are also the only other coaches , have run the show since then.)
The Wranglers reportedly drew 5,711 fans to T.O.'s first game in Allen, which, as Chris Chase of Yahoo!'s Shutdown Corner blog reported, was said to be more than the team had drawn for its entire 2011 home schedule. But all of the Wranglers' official game reports on the IFL website for this season list the attendance for every home game as zero. That doesn't mean nobody was there, but does suggest a lack of desire to say how many people were.
So, if the Owens signing simply wasn't working in the way that it was meant to—as a marketing experiment—it's entirely logical that the team would look for a way to end the relationship, which, from a public relations standpoint, is a lot easier to do with a player that the IFL itself called "perhaps the most polarizing figure in all of professional sports over the past decade."
Yahoo!'s Ivie summed up the story from the perspective of someone who actually cares about arena football, even at its lower tiers:
...it nauseates me that the popular perception of indoor football as a joke is being perpetuated by one of the biggest clowns in all of football. And the Wranglers let it happen. They willingly brought the circus attraction to town, and now they're paying the price.

The Signature of God: Conclusive Proof That Every Teaching, Every Command, Every Promise in the Bible Is Trueby Grant R. Jeffrey
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
As American society becomes more secularized, Christians need to know all the facts about the Bible. Dr. Grant R. Jeffrey has spent decades researching history, science, archaeology, medicine, and prophecy--finding that each discipline confirms the truth of Scripture. This revised and updated edition of The Signature of God proves that the Bible is not only accurate in its spiritual claims, but is completely reliable as well on matters of origins, medicine, history, and science.
Historians of the ancient world--as well as recent archaeological finds--confirm the names of kings and kingdoms, and the dates of wars and mass migrations mentioned in the Bible. Recent breakthroughs in astronomy, physics, and medical science have shown that God's Word accurately described the universe and the processes of human life before scientific research caught up. And hundreds of fulfilled prophecies show that God revealed the future to his prophets in order to undergird the faith of his people.
No matter how loudly the skeptics argue against Christian faith, only one conclusion makes sense: the Bible is God-breathed. You can believe every word, every claim, every prophecy, and every miracle. With no doubts.
About the Author
Dr. Grant Jeffrey is an internationally known prophecy expert and author of Shadow Government, Countdown to the Apocalypse, and more than twenty other best-selling books. He is also the editor of the Marked Reference Prophecy Study Bible. His popular television program, Bible Prophecy Revealed, airs weekly on TBN. Dr. Jeffrey earned his master's and doctorate degrees from Louisiana Baptist University. He and his wife, Kaye, live in Toronto, where they serve in full-time ministry.

Hartford Has New Bed Bugs Ordinance
By Jeff Cohen - WNPR
Published: Mar 19, 2012
Hartford's city council recently passed a new ordinance to deal with bed bugs in the city. WNPR's Jeff Cohen reports.
The city says it doesn't have an especially high level of complaints about bed bugs. That said, officials wanted some new tools to address the problem when it occurs.
Raul Pino is the city's acting health director. He says the first goal of the new ordinance is to make sure that the people who treat homes for bed bugs actually know what they're doing.
"The ordinance basically is going to require that a certified, state certified, exterminator is used by building managers and owners. And not just anyone out of the street using any chemical products that they make take from home stores or places like that."
Second, the new ordinance allows the city to collect any furniture or property that may be discarded if there are bed bugs. Finally, if the city pays to fix the problem at a property, it will have the ability to try and recoup the cost of that work from a building's owner.
"You know, someone may need $4,000, $5,000 -- it's an important building, it's large enough, we're concerned it may spread through other areas. And so we will come, pay for the services, and lien the property until we get reimbursed."
The city council approved the ordinance last week.
For WNPR, I'm Jeff Cohen.

The Host brings alien fighting action
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the Cineplex, she's back! Yep, with the silver screen having been blissfully Twilight-free since late last year, but all good things have to come to an end, I suppose. Her latest and first non-Twilight stab at relevancy is here, and guess what? It doesn't entirely suck.
The Host is the tale of another female protagonist, this one decidedly more interesting than perennial wallflower Bella Swan. Melanie is part of a faction of humans who have chosen to fight the occupation of a group of alien life-forms, who have somewhat benevolently taken up residency on our planets, and bodies. Think Invasion of the Body Snatcher meets Revolution. Basically, it is a post-apocalyptic resistance to a semi-hostile takeover.
I say 'semi' because it is a non-violent takeover. These entities simply possess their human hosts- hence the title- and take over the thinking from there on, their only tell-tale sign of occupation being eerily glowing eyes. The aliens have done this sort of thing all over the universe, but naturally, never had any trouble until us perky humans came along.
The aliens have the technology to heal injuries, disease, and fix some of the earth's issues with the environment. They literally don't fight each other ever, and there's no problem with money, as people just go to generically-named "store" to pick up what they need, no funds needed. So, um, the problem is? I mean in this economy, that sounds alright, you know? Am I right?
Well, we humans are stubborn, what can I say? USA! USA! USA! Oh wait, was this a worldwide takeover? Whatevs. We Americans aren't taking this lying down, so we choose to resist. Suck it, alien yahoos with your glowy tentacle thingees and polymorphous bodies! (Yes, those are totally the scientific terms for what these aliens are. Look it up, people!)
One of those who does just that is the aforementioned Melanie, who would rather die—die, I say!—than let her body be taken over by these sap-sucking alien scum. So, she takes a (Bella) swan-dive out of a window, rather than let her body be taken over by them, and wakes up…taken by one of them. Oops! Don't you hate when that happens?
One problem. Melanie's consciousness is still there, but she's got company, who dubs herself "Wanderer" (aka "Wanda" for short). So, the two become trapped as one, with both occupying the same body and mind. It makes for an interesting dichotomy and to the film's eternal credit, they cast the part perfectly with Irish lass Saoirse Ronan, one of the youngest Oscar nominees ever, for 2007's Atonement. Ronan also played strong female protagonists in The Lovely Bones and Hanna, the last being a particularly good primer for this role.
As in Hanna, most of the film features Ronan on the run from "The Seeker," a nefarious blonde supermodel-type, only here played by erstwhile Helen of Troy Diane Kruger, instead of Cate Blanchett. I don't often feel compelled to comment on a film's wardrobe and style, but this film really has it in spades, with the "villains" clad in benevolent-but-fearsome all-white all-the-time outfits, and racing around in all-silver vehicles like sports cars and motorcycles. So, they're sort of like Euro-villains, I guess? Hey, Kruger is German, don't ya know?
Meanwhile, the two consciousnesses within Melanie's bodies are battling it out for supremacy, with Melanie having just enough fight in her to get the better of the newcomer-to-Earth Wanderer. She busts out of alien central and goes on the run to find her fellow Americans in their hide-out in the desert. Or technically former fellow Americans, as she is now part-alien.
Once Melanie arrives, naturally, her eyes give her away, and she is held captive until the resistance can figure out what to do with her. As they become aware of Melanie's continued existence, this leads to bigger issues. You thought the love triangle in Twilight was something? Wait until you get a load of Meyer's love quadrangle, in which Wanda falls for one guy and Melanie tries to win back over her former BF, who is now rejecting her because of the whole alien thing. Let it not be said that Meyer did not possess some semblance of originality.
In fact, I must say, it's as if she listened to all the criticism, addressed it and was like, I can do better! And she did! Go figure. Miracles can still happen, people. Now, don't get me wrong, there are times when that old Twilight treacle sneaks in, notably in a flashback involving a pre-alien takeover Melanie and her man Jared (Max Irons), which descends into Lucas-level "Hold me, like you did by the lake on Naboo"-territory, which is never a good thing.
But for the most part, the romance stuff is portrayed with a nice new sheen of self-awareness and good humor- those of you reading this wondering how straight they play it needn't worry. The film completely acknowledges the ludicrous nature of the whole two-minds-one-body thing in an amusing and, dare I say, clever way. A lot of that credit goes to Ronan- she's fantastic, as always, and also in on the joke. I really got a kick out the scenes where Melanie gets jealous/angry over Wanda's actions or vice versa- "Couldn't you go into another room or something?"
Credit is also due to director Andrew Niccol, the perfect man for the job. Sometimes Hollywood gets it right. The director behind the cult classic Gattaca and the underrated In Time, he gets the material completely and knows exactly what to do with it. Yes, as with those films, the movie is a bit long and occasionally poky in its artsy-ness, but I happen to like that style, so I'm fine with it. You might feel that it could have used some judicious shaving of the two-hour-plus running time, and you might be right, but I just liked looking at the film, you know? Niccol's sense of style just mesmerizes me a bit and in a good way. Maybe you'll feel the same way, maybe not.
Either way, Meyer fully redeems herself here…okay maybe not fully- did we really need five freaking Twilight movies? But, you know, I was pleasantly surprised. I thought maybe she'd prove a one-trick-pony, but I really liked this movie overall. It was an original take on much-traveled story territory, and that's saying something. I'm not sure if it warrants a series of its own, especially since a lot of what makes the movie so neat is resolved in the end, and therefore wouldn't be featured in any future installments- but better this than Twilight, to be sure.

|Harvest King, not everyone has an easily accessible cliff for their convenience as you do.
Really now, you ask for advice and you're going to gripe about what I give you?
|so ignis, how do you feel about the harvest goddess
Bokujou Monogatari
- The Japanese title for the series. It translates to Farm Story. For whatever reason Farm Story was never used as the title in North America or Europe when the games were first localized. The name (Farm Story) is currently being used by another company for a mobile game.
Harvest Moon
- The American and European name for the series. All Bokujou Monogatari games (and a few Rune Factory games) prior to Bokujou Monogatari: Tsunagaru Shin Tenchi (which fans have been calling Harvest Moon: Connect to a New World) have been released in North America and Europe using the Harvest Moon name and logo. Natsume, not Marvelous AQL owns the right to the title.
Story of Seasons
- The North American title for Bokujou Monogatari: Tsunagaru Shin Tenchi. The game was released earlier this year in Japan. It is being released by XSEED in North America this winter. No European release date has been announced.
Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley
- A title being developed internally by Natsume. It is not being worked on by the Bokujo Monogatari staff, nor the series creator who worked on Hometown Story. It is set to release later this year in North America. South American and European versions have been confirmed as well. No Japanese release has been confirmed. The game will be showed for the first time to the public at E3 this year, which is next week (as of the time this was originally posted).
Victor Interactive
- The original developers of the Bokujou Monogatari series. In 2003 VI was acquired by Marvelous Entertainment (currently Marvelous AQL).
Marvelous AQL
- The company that develops and publishes Bokujou Monogatari currently. Rune Factory is also owned by this company. The company has gone through a couple name changes in the last few years. On July 1st of this year (2014) it will become Marvelous, dropping the AQL.
- The company that localized the Bokujo Monogatari series prior to XSEED doing so. Harvest Moon: A New Beginning was the last of the Marvelous AQL developed Harvest Moon games they localized. Natsume is the owner of the Harvest Moon trademark/copyright. Currently they are working on Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley.
XSEED Games/Marvelous USA
- North American branch of Marvelous AQL. In 2013 XSEED Games was renamed Marvelous USA, but the XSEED name and logo will still be used to avoid any misunderstandings. This is who will be releasing Story of Seasons. Previously, XSEED localized several other Marvelous games including Rune Factory Frontier, Rune Factory 4, and the Senran Kagura games.
I hope this helps! If you see a mistake or you are still confused, feel free to send me a message. Also, I know that a couple employees from both XSEED and Natsume frequent Tumblr. Please do not harass them about the situation online or in person at E3 which is coming up soon. Any information that each company could give has most likely already been given out through press releases or their respective social media profiles. Have fun farming and with all the gaming news that'll come out of E3 y'all! :D
Two new Harvest Moon games for 3DS will appear at E3 next week, though only one will bear the title.
Developed by Natsume, the firm claims Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley will be the first title in the longrunning farming series to offer a fully three-dimensional setting with a customizable world, which players can alter by creating valleys or planting fields full of decorative plants like tulips.
"Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley is truly evolving the franchise. Hardcore fans will love it, players who haven't played a Harvest Moon game in a while will want to try it out, and new players will be introduced to the unique and charming world that is Harvest Moon," Natsume president and CEO Maekawa said in a prepared statement.
"But the incredibly exciting thing that really elevates the game is that while it does get back to what everyone loves about the early games, it also innovates in a way that no Harvest Moon game ever has."
While Natsume controls the rights to the Harvest Moon name from its many years localizing the series, Japanese developer Marvelous AQL recently announced it would partner with XSEED games to localize the latest game in the original Japanese series, changing the name to Story of Seasons.
Players will be able to customize their characters and farmsteads in Story of Seasons, showing off the fruits of their labor in multiplayer and StreetPass modes. It's planned for release in winter.
|Hi! I just want to clarify, is it completely impossible to get the rights to the name Harvest Moon? I have a huge attachment to the name, so I have a sliver of hope in me that it'll stay. But you can't buy the name from Natsume?
I will put it this way: If that were possible, wouldn't we have done that? This is something I've seen brought up a lot since the announcement as if it wasn't something we thought about, but we've already spent a very long time working with our parent company preparing for this announcement with Bokujo Monogatari: Tsunagari Shintenchi as STORY OF SEASONS. Whatever scenarios anyone has thought of in the past few days, I guarantee you, we hammered that scenario into the ground. The answer to your question is that it is absolutely, 100% impossible to use previous names or similar names to represent Bokujo Monogatari under XSEED. I know that a lot of people have a strong attachment to the series as a whole— we're very aware of it. But for clarification, we did not just decide to name Bokujo Monogatari: Tsunagari Shintenchi on a whim with ten minutes of thought.
I don't mean for this to sound harsh; I'm just trying to be very, very, clear about that.
The newest installment in the Harvest Moon series (called "Connect to a New Land" in Japanese) has been announced for localization in English! XSEED will be translating the game as opposed to Natsume, so due to legal issues, this new game will simply be called "Story of Seasons" without the Harvest Moon title.
The game will be for the 3DS, and is scheduled for a Winter 2014 release. To get updates, check out the official Facebook page!
Just in case anyone sees this who has not heard, the next Harvest Moon game (called 牧場物語 つながる新天地, aka Ranch Story: Connect to a New World in Japan) will be published by XSeed, not Natsume, in the US. The game will be called Story of Seasons, as Natsume owns the right to the name "Harvest Moon" in America.

"Cool" Obama Returns GOP Fire on Gas Prices
On The Radar
President Obama said Thursday in Miami that Republicans who want his job and others in Congress are not telling America the truth. Whether the president's complaints had merit was not the news. What was noteworthy was how the GOP assaults leveled at the president during the campaign -- and the pile-up of televised presidential debates -- are registering with Obama.
Obama's Corporate Tax Plan Presages Election Debate
On The Radar
President Obama's corporate tax reform "framework" unveiled Wednesday is unlikely to become law in an election year, but a partisan and economically rooted debate about individual and business taxes will figure prominently before November. Two competing visions for fiscal rejuvenation after 2013 are guaranteed to clash when Obama and a GOP nominee finally face one another later this year.
White House Lays Low as Birth Control Dispute Heats Up
On The Radar
If the White House had been searching for an issue that could draw sharper contrasts with Republicans over women's health, economic opportunities and freedom, a skirmish with Catholic bishops and others over a requirement that health insurance cover contraception costs might just do it. For yet another day, the White House hung back while the discussion in Washington took on distinctly partisan and gender-rich overtones.
Is There Hope for Obama in Fla. Results? A Sliver.
On The Radar
Florida's Republican primary results may have offered President Obama and his campaign team fresh evidence that gives them pause about the incumbent's chances for a win in November. The list of worries in Florida looks longer than the bright spots for the president at the moment, based on Tuesday's returns, exit polling and interviews with authorities who know the state's politics.
On Google+, Big Question for Obama Is Weeded Out
On The Radar
President Obama did not tackle the subject most on the minds of some questioners during an online forum Monday. What drew many citizens to a Google+ chat with the president was their interest in how soon marijuana could be legalized, according to the rated popularity of questions posted before the event.
The True State of Our Union: Introduction
On The Radar
Listening to Barack Obama's lengthy State of the Union address in the same week the Republican presidential candidates held more debates in their incessant series was to visit two parallel universes. The economy is getting better. Nope, the economy is a disaster. We need to change the tax code so the rich pay "their fair share." Oh, no: We need to change the tax code to starve Washington and put more money in all Americans' pockets. Business needs to be regulated. Business needs to be unfettered.
Obama's "We Can't Wait" Juggling Act
On The Radar
As President Obama visited Orlando, Fla., on Thursday to describe an initiative to expand international tourism to the United States, Vice President Biden was in Reno, Nev., to discuss the economic hazards of rising college tuitions. As Obama flew on Air Force One later in the day to New York City for four campaign fundraising events, Biden traveled to Los Angeles for an economic event with business leaders, plus another fundraiser.

Weekly Show
Will Mitt Romney's momentum from successive wins in Iowa and New Hampshire help him win South Carolina? Plus, the Supreme Court will decide on the FCC's authority to regulate the airwaves, and President Obama's aims to shrink government. Joining Gwen: Beth Reinhard, National Journal; Jeanne Cummings, Bloomberg News; Alexis Simendinger, RealClearPolitics.com; Pete Williams, NBC News.
Obama, DNC Raise $68 Million in Fourth Quarter
On The Radar
President Obama's campaign manager worried aloud in a video message released Thursday that too many potential donors are reluctant to contribute to the president's re-election effort because they believe he's running a $1 billion campaign. That figure, Jim Messina insisted, is "completely untrue," and he urged supporters to give now and keep donating through 2012.
Obama Camp Locks In on Romney as Opponent
On The Radar
The Obama campaign team has been preparing to face Mitt Romney in a general election for the better part of a year, and Romney's narrow triumph in Iowa and decisive follow-up victory in New Hampshire merely served to bless that battle plan. The campaign believes it has to be armed for Obama vs. Romney, the president vs. "the jobs killer."

Karnaugh Maps

Karnaugh Maps
K-Map Numbering Method - Part 1
The position at which each possible minterm* is located within the K-Map corresponds directly to the number which is assigned to that cell in the map, thus the location of each cell of the map must be selected so as to assure that the following is true: - - - From any cell within the map, to its adjacent (vertically or horizontally) neighbor cell - - -one and only one bit in the cell numbering may change. This numbering sequence is accomplished as follows.
Referring to figures 5 and 6, we build a Karnaugh Map in the following manner: First we start with a base, or root, cell. To this cell we assign the number "0". From here on, we add cells and assign their cell numbers by what may be likened to an 'unfolding' process. This process we can liken to that of continually producing a new group of cells exactly like the ones we already have, but positioned exactly on top of the one(s) we already have. Each cell of this new layer, then has the same value as the one directly beneath it, plus 2^M (where M is the number of the 'unfolding' operation, starting at "0"). Each 'unfolding' step, is then done from the boundary (axis) following the last presently existing cell in the map (horizontally or vertically).
For a row-ordered K-Map, we first generate the cells of the first row as is illustrated in figure 5. The number of 'unfolding' operations will depend upon how wide to make the map. (In the illustration, we perform three 'unfolding' operations, in order to produce an eight-cell-wide map.) Starting with the "zero" cell, we generate a new cell on top of it, and give it the value "1" (0 + 2^0 = 1). Then we unfold this out - - around the 'axis' (figure 5.b) following the "0" value cell, and now have a two-cell-wide map. Next, we repeat the process, generating two new cells atop the ones we have, and give these new cells the values (0 + 2^1 = 2) and (1 + 2^1 = 3). Then when we unfold these out (figure 5.c), we have the map cells "0", "1", "3" and "2". Finally, when we perform the process again (this time adding 2^2), we end up with the cells "0", "1", "3", "2", "6", "7", "5" and "4" (figure 5.d).
We then produce the remaining rows of our K-Map in the same manner, but by unfolding each new row around an axis beneath the row from which it is derived (figure 6). For example, row 2 is formed by generating it above row one, with each cell in row 2 having the same value as as the cell beneath it, plus 2^3 (figure 6.b). The same process is then repeated to generate the next pair of rows (figure 6.c)
What we now have, is a map like that of figure 7. If we trace adjacent cells through the map, we now get a number arrangement which looks essentially like that of the standard 'Reflecting Gray Code" numbering sequence. In this sequence, every sequential number has one and only one bit different from its sequential neighbor (predecessor or following number). To be sure, our map doesn't necessarily come from the standard reflecting gray-code sequence, but is simply dirived in much the same way, thus we end up with the same pattern.
What's more, all the cells of the map are arranged so that each has only a one-bit difference from its neighbor, vertically or horizontally (the vertical relationship, other than at the dnds of rows, would be of no concern with gray-codes). The way the map was generated assures this two-way relationship.
[* If there are N binary variables, then there will be a total of 2^N possible Simple-Sum-of-Products (SSOP)combinations of these N-variables, where each of these 'terms' contains each variable, represented in either its normal or its complemented (not) form. Each or these 2^N possible terms is called a minterm. For example, if there are two variables A and B, then there are four possible minterms; A'B', AB', AB and A'B.]
