12. Nü Wa
Nü Wa was the sister of Fu Hsi. She helped him with the arranging of marriages. Whereas in the old days men and women had been free to marry whom they chose, Nü Wa ascertained the names of all tribes. Men and women from the same family were no longer allowed to marry. Marriages were concluded by order of the parents, a marriage broker was necessary, and since money did not then exist two skins were laid down as the bridal gift. Thus Nü Wa became known as the divine foundress of marriage, and succeeding generations venerated her as the patroness of matrimony and the guardian of relations between families. After her brother's death she succeeded him on the throne. But a man arose by name of Gung Gung, hirsute of body and with red hair, who considered himself a god because of his wisdom. He occupied the land along the Yangtse River and rebelled against the divine princess. He called himself the spirit of the water and used magic formulas to raise a deluge which caused the water to pile up in all the river beds and do great damage to the land.
Nü Wa commanded the Lord of Fire to subdue him. Gung Gung was defeated. In his anger he struck his head against the Mountain of Imperfection and died. As a result, one of the pillars of the sky snapped and the sky tilted towards the north-west. The earth, however, sagged in the region of the new opening in the south-east. Nü Wa thereupon fused some five-coloured stones together with which to mend the sky. She took the legs of a giant turtle and used them as the four poles of the sky.
As for the deluge, she channelled it towards the spot where the earth had sunk. That is Why to the present day the north-westerly wind is so cold and why all rivers flow towards the south-east to the great sea.
Nü Wa also introduced a system into music. Then she died and temples were built to her.
Once on New Year's Day, the tyrant Chou Hsin of the house of Yin came to the temple of the goddess Nü Wa in order to make a sacrifice there. But a wind sprang up and the curtain in front of the goddess's picture was blown aside. The ruler saw the goddess's golden face. He was inflamed with an unholy love for her, and wrote a poem on the wall and returned home. But the goddess Nü Wa was highly indignant. She commanded the nine-tailed fox to turn into the beautiful girl Ta Chi so as to captivate the ruler and destroy his empire. Just about that time the tyrant Chou Hsin had issued an order to all his vassals to send the most beautiful girls to him. One of his favourites told him that the Count Su Hu had a daughter by name of Ta Chi whose beauty was matchless. The ruler therefore commanded Su Hu to bring her to him. Su Hu had no choice but to take his daughter to the palace. Halfway there they spent a night at an inn. There the nine-tailed fox caused a magic wind to spring up which carried Off Ta Chi's soul. Then he himself entered her body and although he remained a vicious fox the girl's features were unchanged. When the king Chou Hsin caught sight of her he was greatly pleased and she won exceptional favour with him. He would drink wine with her and take his pleasure with her and he ceased to care about the government of the land.
His faithful servants who dared to contradict him were cruelly tortured to death. They were made to embrace red hot stoves or to walk along narrow greased poles across ditches of blazing fires. In his depravity he no longer knew any bounds to his profligacy. He built a tower which reached up to the stars, he had lakes dug and filled with wine, and he had meat hung up in the forests. Boys and girls were made to chase each other naked, before the eyes of the king and his wife. One day they were sitting on top of their tower and saw two men, one old and the other young, fording a river. The young man's steps were slow and anxious and he was shivering with the cold, whereas the old man strode out boldly apparently unaware of the cold. The king was astonished hut his wife said: 'This is entirely natural. The old one was born at a time when his parents were still young and that is why he has frill marrow in his bones and does not feel the cold. But the young man, born of his parents in their old age, was not equipped with sufficient vigour and that is why his bones are hollow and he feels the cold.' The two were summoned and it was found that the matter of their birth was as Ta Chi had said. But not satisfied with this she had their legs slashed open in order to examine the marrow in their bones. In this manner she committed a thousand cruel deeds.
One day, when the king was reproached by his uncle. Bei Gan, a man universally revered for his wisdom, Ta Chi said: 'l have heard it said that saints and sages have seven openings in their heart. Tear out his heart and let us see whether he is a saint!'
In this manner the tyrant alienated his own relations. The sage Bei Gan, however, was subsequently installed as the god of wealth. One of the most loyal servants of the ruler was Huang Fei-hu. He had no equal in wisdom and courage and had earned much renown in war. He urged the ruler not to listen to Ta Chi because he would ruin himself. For that reason, Ta Chi hated him deep in her heart. On New Year's Day it was the custom for all the servants of the ruler to call on him with their wives to convey their good wishes. Huang Fei-hu's wife was especially beautiful. Ta Chi therefore hatched a plot. She led her up the summit of the star tower there to be presented to the king. Secretly, however, she inflamed the king's desire for the woman. Yet the woman resisted all temptations and eventually burst into tears. Thereupon the tyrant grew angry and dragged her by her hair to the edge of the tower and thrust her down from the top so that she was smashed to pieces. When Huang Fei-bu heard about this he was seized with fury; he mounted his five-coloured divine bull which could cover a thousand miles in a day and indignantly left the city. He joined the Emperor Wu who was fighting against the tyrant. But he succumbed to the power of a sorcerer whose wife was familiar with the art of pulling out the sun's rays and turning them into magic needles. She possessed seven times seven such needles and aimed them at the eyes of her husband's enemies. Once they were blinded, her husband then killed them. In this manner Huang Fei-hu lost his life.
When the Emperor Wu had killed the tyrant Chou Hsin and conquered his empire, Huang Fei-hu was proclaimed god of the Great Mountain with power to judge between good and evil, reward and punishment, and life and death for humans, and with power over the ten princes of hell.

The Freedom Fund receives generous support from our anchor investors, those who invest in our hotspots directly, the Council of Advocates, government funders and other supporters. More information about our key donors can be found below. Some donors choose to remain anonymous.
The Children's Investment Fund Foundation is an independent philanthropic organisation, headquartered in London with offices in Nairobi and New Delhi. It works to transform the lives of poor and vulnerable children in developing countries. Areas of work include children and mothers' health and nutrition, children's education and welfare, and smart ways to slowdown and stop climate change. It places significant emphasis on quality data and evidence to measure and evaluate progress with partners to achieve large scale and sustainable impact.
Humanity United is a foundation dedicated to bringing new approaches to global problems that have long been considered intractable. We build, lead, and support efforts to change the systems that contribute to problems like human trafficking, mass atrocities, and violent conflict. HU is part of the Omidyar Group, which represents the philanthropic, personal, and professional interests of the Omidyar family.
The Legatum Foundation is the development arm of the Legatum Group, a multi-billion dollar investment firm. Drawing on Legatum's investment heritage, the Foundation allocates capital to projects, people and ideas that create enduring prosperity. For over a decade, the Legatum Foundation has funded thousands of small, community based organizations across the developing world, addressing unmet needs by applying the insights learned from over 30 years of investing in the global capital markets.
The original aim of the Minderoo Foundation was to help all Australians, particularly children and Indigenous Australians, to dream way beyond what their current circumstances and expectations might allow. This was achieved through the Australian Children's Trust and since then, the Minderoo Foundation has expanded its focus to include: GenerationOne, a national movement focused on ending Indigenous disparity in Australia through employment; the Walk Free Foundation, a global organisation focused on ending modern slavery; and Hope for Children, an international aid organisation focused on development projects in Ethiopia. Minderoo conducts its anti-slavery activities, including its support for the Freedom Fund, through the Walk Free Foundation.
The Stardust Fund is a US donor-advised fund that seeks to empower socially excluded populations, particularly women and girls, by investing in transformative systemic and cultural initiatives that demand a world where we all have the opportunity to participate fully and freely.
C&A Foundation is a private foundation that aspires to a fair and sustainable apparel industry in which everyone can thrive. The foundation works to address the deeply-rooted challenges of the sector by supporting and driving initiatives, and partnering with key stakeholders to maximise results. The affiliation with C&A, a leading global clothing retailer, not only allows the foundation to test, replicate and scale programmes that can help the apparel industry become a force for greater good, but also compels the foundation to support communities affected by humanitarian crises. C&A Foundation is supporting the Freedom Fund's efforts to combat bonded labour in the textile industry in southern India.
The Freedom Fund Council of Advocates is a select group of passionate activists and philanthropists dedicated to supporting the Freedom Fund's mission. Members play a key role in the Freedom Fund's work, contributing their intellect, passion, advocacy, and financial support. Membership provides Advocates with a community of peers through which they can meaningfully connect with their investment and the movement to end modern-day slavery.
The current members of the Council of Advocates include Natasha Dolby (The Ray and Dagmar Dolby Family Fund), Brandee Butler (C&A Foundation), Elliot Justin, and Grace Forrest (Walk Free Foundation). The Council is chaired by Molly Gochman, Stardust Fund. More information about the Council of Advocates can be found here.

To the editor:
On April 26, Congressman Mike McIntyre proudly stood with Blue Dog Democrats proclaiming he has co-sponsored legislation to reduce discretionary spending by 6 percent.
At first glance, this sounds like a great idea because it sounds like the initiative cuts out wasteful spending; however, I researched what programs are mandated to be under discretionary funding and among others it included the Veterans Affairs Department, which covers healthcare for veterans.
Just to show you the height of awareness and intelligence of North Carolinian smokers, I was at a gas station getting gas. The customer right across from me was standing outside of his car smoking. I told him that the slice through smoking on the gas pump meant you were not supposed to smoke here. It was a fire hazard.
He said he could not smoke in the car because there was a baby in it.
On Saturday, April 24, Andy's of Shallotte and Leland (next to Walmart), as part of its corporate philosophy to give back to the community, opened its doors and grills to the Brunswick Housing Opportunities Home Preservation Committee (BHO/HPC) for a fundraising pancake breakfast.
The men of Athens had an unknown God and the Apostle Paul proclaimed he knew who He was Acts 17:23: "Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you. Acts 17:23: "God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands."
My sister, Ashley, and I have always been polar opposites—she was the outgoing one, while I was the shy one.
She enjoyed gadgets, electronics and technology, while I preferred to stay as far away from those things as possible.
She hated shopping while I could shop for 24 hours straight.
Perhaps the biggest difference between us was in our hobbies; I was a bookworm, and she despised reading—with a passion.
I recently married a Canadian. He gets pretty excited about news—local, national and international.
When he was still living in Canada, it wasn't uncommon for him to have absorbed some interesting fact of the day from U.S. news before I even realized something was going on.
American politics, especially, have always interested him. The differences between the American political system and processes and Canada always have him asking questions and making comparisons.
Seriously, Carolina Shores? Is this really happening again? Have town officials really let Carolina Shores' citizens down once again?
Unfortunately, yes.
We understand people make mistakes, and when they do, we believe they should be given opportunities to correct them, learn from them and hopefully not make them again.
However, we have a hard time understanding how someone as experienced and versed as Carolina Shores Town Administrator Linda Herncane could make a mistake by deleting town e-mails from her computer.
Charlie Perry, owner of American Fish Co. in Oak Island, is fed up with where this country is headed.
He's frustrated with government bailouts and what he calls "squandering" of tax dollars. He's so frustrated, about three weeks ago he began flying his flag upside down—what has traditionally been referred to as the national sign of distress.

What is a D.O.?
In the United States, there are two types of complete physicians — osteopathic physicians (D.O.) and allopathic physicians (M.D.). Both types are completely qualified physicians and similar in many ways. For example, applicants who attend medical college to become a D.O. or M.D. generally have four-year undergraduate degrees focusing on science. D.O.s and M.D.s must also complete four years of basic medical education and participate in internships or residency programs to attain graduate education. While in practice, both D.O.s and M.D.s are licensed to perform surgery and prescribe medication. At the same time, there are differences between the two types.

The sluggish economy has high street bakery chain, greggs, looking at its banking sheets. Like many other businesses, it has suffered some losses for this first quarter and did some research to try and track down the source of the losses. Much of what they found could be said of any company currently reviewing their banking sheets for the same information:
Greggs has made some innovative changes and results are proving positive, with a 3% gain on the banking sheets from their recent pairing with moto service stations and an expansion of their frozen food line which is sold in iceland.
Plan ahead by reviewing banking sheets:
Greggs took more notice of the results on its banking sheets when there was a decline of 9per cent in its shares. While profits aren't expected to be significantly impacted, they have taken steps to try and track down the source of the issue.
At first they assumed it was the poor weather, but further investigation revealed that the loss may be attributed simply to consumer's habits of saving and eating at home.
Greggs also had to consider the expansion of their frozen food line, as well as the pairing with moto service stations to see if either of those was causing the negative effect for the stores' sales declines on the banking sheets, but there was no correlation.

Plans are already underway for 13th Annual Matt Light Celebrity Shoot-Out, our signature annual fundraiser, and one the most exciting and unique charity events in North America. The date has been set – it's all happening on Tuesday, September 19th, at Rhode Island's world-class Addieville East Farm.
The Shoot-Out combines a clay-shooting tournament, an outdoor concert, fun and sportsman-like contests and demonstrations, and even fine-dining and a large-scale fireworks display -- for a memorable day for both sponsors and "shooters," alike. The event has attracted celebrities from the world of sports, music, TV and entertainment, and is routinely a record-breaker in terms of money raised, the number of attendees and the phenomenal media coverage generated. We'll raise the bar in 2017 again by adding more celebrities, more competition, and more exciting exhibitions to what has come to be known as the premiere shooting event in the country!
Well-known attendees routinely show up for the Shoot-Out. Everyone from current Patriots Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman, Rob Ninkovich, Stephen Gostkowski, Nate Solder, Marcus Cannon, Ryan Allen, and Nate Ebner, to Matt's former teammates Wes Welker, Sebastian Vollmer, Tedy Bruschi, Logan Mankins, Dan Koppen, Dan Connolly, Adam Vinatieri, Mike Vrabel, Zoltan Mesko, Larry Izzo, Lonie Paxton, Joe Andruzzi, Matt Chatham, Sammy Morris and Troy Brown, who have also participated. Patriots' alumni Pete Brock, Steve Nelson and Larry Eisenhower, and NFL stand-outs Steve Hutchinson, Chris Deilman, and Hall-of- Famer Andre Tippett have also played a part. Also on hand -- former Boston Bruin Jay Miller, Mike Fourtner of reality TV's "Deadliest Catch," CBS TV's "Person of Interest" star Kevin Chapman, Olympians Kelli Stack, Simon Shnapir, Marissa Castelli, Elena Pirozhokova and the cast and crew of "Wicked Tuna" have come out to enjoy the day. Comedian and actor Lenny Clarke has emceed every year with help from fellow comedians like Tony V, and some of the world's top shooters, Jerry Miculek and Max Michel, Jr., have given demos to the shooters, and have also held a celebrity "Hot Shot" contest, which pits some of the famous faces there against each other. Last year, Olympic shooter Vinnie Hancock put on a one-of-a-kind trick-shooting demonstration that had the crowds riveted.
In addition to the shooting tournament and contest, guests can visit with exhibitors, such as Gooseman Game Calls, Kawasaki, Orvis, Swarovski Optik, Hasbro, Ball & Buck, Vital X Archery, KRAVE Jerky, Tactical 5.11, Brian Fox Studios and sponsoring gun companies: Ruger, Smith & Wesson, Savage Arms, Sig Sauer and Kimber. Other onsite activities are offered, like fly-fishing, 3-D archery, a Nerf Shooting Gallery "Big Kids Zone," a handgun range, and rides on the Kawasaki Teryx. After lunch, which will include a variety of options from popular Boston chefs Michael Schlow, Anthony Caturano, and Evan Deluty, plus a variety of food trucks out on the course, enjoy dinner by popular steakhouse The Capital Grille. Top that off with live musical entertainment, and a live auction run by Matt, and pals Lenny and Tony, featuring celebrity-driven items and VIP trips. The night ends with a big fireworks display!
To date, the Shoot-Out has raised nearly $6 million dollars for initiatives that include various programs for at-risk teens in Rhode Island, Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, Louisiana and Massachusetts.
The nonprofit's objective: to provide at-risk youth with unique outdoor learning experiences that assist them in meeting, and exceeding all their goals. Matt's greater vision has always been to support larger nonprofit groups' efforts and impact more kids from around the country, and he's done so through dozens of other Chenoweth Trails initiatives and community events that brought over 4,000 people through the facility in 2016.
2017 sponsors to date include: Putnam Investments, Savage Arms, Ruger, Smith & Wesson, Sig Sauer, Rockport Mortgage, and Kimber. Many more are expected to sign on.
In addition to supporting a great cause, the Matt Light Celebrity Shoot-Out provides an exceptional team-building opportunity for staff, or a one-of-a-kind "thank-you" to top clients or customers. To discuss customized sponsorship opportunities, e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com, or call Goodwin Group PR at (508) 508-404-1745.

HOW TO BE EMOTIONALLY HEALTHY IN MINISTRY | Rick Carrol
Target: How To's | Practical | Ministry Staff | Volunteers

Our lives are very full, stress is a constant tension we manage, and we regularly feel overtired. How can we remain physically, spiritually and emotionally healthy so we can best serve the kids and families that come to our ministries every week who are trying to manage the very same issues. Rick Carrol is a both a pastor and counsellor who will lead a discussion on Biblical principles for maintaining whole life health in the context of serving in ministry.

TWO ARE BETTER THAN ONE | Bill Markham and Gianpaolo Galessiere
Target: Ministry Staff | High Leadership | Round Table Environment
What do you do when you want to change something in your current ministry position? Who should you talk to? What should you say? In this session, we will explore through a real life example how to navigate change with a senior leader in a way that is mutually beneficial and healthy. We will talk about how to present your idea without coming across as arrogant or without being steam rolled out of a good idea. We will also talk about how to be a team in the truest sense of the word. Building on Breakout #1, we will have a candid conversation around how this can actually work.
READY, AIM, LAUNCH – DISCIPLES UNDER CONSTRUCTION | Mark Colwell
Target: Spiritual Transformation | Family Ministry | Ministry Staff | Volunteers | Parents
Ask a pastor what they hope effective ministries will produce and most will say disciples of Christ. Ask a parent what they hope their children become as a by-product of faith and many will say a committed follower of Jesus. Disciples are products of intentionality, they are products of taking focused aim and they are products of investment. If you aim for nothing you hit your target every time. Jesus took dead aim to build devoted followers so too can parents and pastors. His strategy to build lives still works and we will share a helpful strategy you can use in your home or ministry as well.

HOW TO REACH PRETEENS | Laura Bronson
Target: How To's | Elementary & Preteen | Volunteers | Ministry Staff
With technology moving so fast, how do we keep up with our young people? Which apps are safe for them to use, and which are dangerous? What music is appropriate, and can movie clips from Hollywood be shown in a Sunday school class? These are all good questions to discuss, but the most important question to ask is 'God what are you up to today? What is on Your heart for the younger generation?' Studies show that parents and leaders should focus on investing into the preteen age now more than ever, since many are starting to walk away from their faith around this time? Why are they leaving and how can we keep them connected to their faith and to church? Lets talk about some unique ideas of how to meet our preteens right where they're at instead of waiting for them to come to us. You don't need to know about every viral Youtube video, or all of the trendy slang words to reach this intresting age group. God is simply looking for people with a heart willing to serve.

GRASSHOPPERS AT DISNEY WORLD® | Shaun Slauenwhite
Target: How To's | Creative Ideas | Volunteers | Ministry Staff

Ever felt like you were too limited by outside factors to really reach your potential? In this Breakout Session, we're going to explore how to beat the grasshopper syndrome and learn the keys to rocking kids ministry in a not-so-big town, or with not-so-big resources.
AVOIDING KIDMIN TUNNEL VISION | Brian Dollar
Target: Ministry Staff | Leadership | Team Dynamics | Round Table Environment
Children's Ministry Leaders are some of the most passionate people on the planet. Sometimes, however, that passion can lead to isolation as they focus completely on their own area of ministry instead of keeping a whole church perspective. In this session, Brian will share some principles that will keep your eyes and heart wide open as you work on a church staff.
THE SMALL GROUP ALTAR CALL | Jenni Colwell
Target: Spiritual Transformation | Creative Ideas | Volunteers | Ministry Staff | Round Table Environment
As a small group leader or a parent doing devotions with your child, there needs to be a point where the child can ponder how they are connected "today" to that particular story in the Bible even though it was written so long ago. It is essential that the Word of God is conveyed to children as the "Word for today"! David killed the giant, how does that story relate to me today? How does it connect to their identity, their call, their community, their service, their responsibility as a Christian, their modelling to others and of course their knowledge that God loves them and they can know him. Typically in "adult church" people are given an opportunity to respond to the sermon; how do we give children an opportunity to respond age-appropriately in a small group that will impact their life? Let's discover some ways to practically do this. You will be given an opportunity (in small groups), to develop your own "altar call". Let's collaborate together!
HOORAY FOR DISNEY®: HOW TO COMMUNICATE TO PARENTS, VOLUNTEERS, AND THE BOARD | Gianpaolo Galessiere

IT'S MORE THAN JUST PLAY | Kathy Maietta
Target: How To's | Nursery & Preschool | Creative Ideas | Volunteers | Ministry Staff
Research teaches us that between birth and five years, children are more impressionable than any other time in their lives. They are significantly affected for life by what occurs during these formative years. For this reason, preschool ministry MUST be purposeful. This workshop will give you some creative tools and techniques to help teach young children the important truths of God's Word!

James Wilson Rouse, (born April 26, 1914, Easton, Md.—died April 9, 1996, Columbia, Md.), U.S. real-estate developer who altered the U.S. landscape during the second half of the 20th century with a series of innovative projects. He pioneered the enclosed suburban shopping mall in the 1950s, created the planned community of Columbia in the '60s, revitalized inner-city districts with retail-and-office complexes called festival marketplaces in the '70s and '80s, and financed low-income housing in the '80s and '90s. Known as a visionary with a social conscience, he was better regarded for his success as a social engineer than for the architecture of his buildings. Rouse attended the Universities of Virginia and Maryland, began a career as a mortgage banker, and served in World War II. In 1939 he cofounded what would later be known as the Rouse Co. The town of Columbia, which was designed as an alternative to suburban sprawl, was fashioned around multiple small-scale community centres. The racially integrated town had affordable housing and featured lakes and greenways. Rouse later lived there himself. In the 1970s he turned his attention to large cities, renovating old buildings to transform decaying urban centres into modern town squares, such as Faneuil Hall Marketplace in Boston, South Street Seaport in New York City, and Harborplace in Baltimore. He helped make the Rouse Co. one of the largest real-estate developers in the country. After his retirement in 1979, Rouse established the Enterprise Foundation, a nonprofit organization that worked with community groups to provide homes for the urban poor. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1995.

Solution-Focused Training ~ Books
The safer, easier way to pay.
Classroom Solutions: WOWW Coaching
Solution-Building Step-by-Step guide to working with one class at a time instead of with one child at a time, thus creating realistic and practical solutions in the classroom.
Many real life examples that give you a clear view of how to intervene with teachers and students.
Classroom Solutions: WOWW Approach
Solution-Building Practice goes to the classroom! Piloted by special education teachers at the New Rivers Middle School, this WOWW (Working on What Works) program is an innovative program that is easy to learn and immediately brings positive responses from students.
This small handbook describes what a group of innovative and dedicated teachers of a large middle school in an urban setting found that works. It is filled with practical wisdom, gems of quick tips, reminders, many "how to" techniques, and it answers questions from the classroom that are field-tested by teachers.
A must read for teachers, school administrators, counselors, social workers and other mental health professionals who work with children in schools. Many simple to understand and practical techniques will make a teachers life easier and children feel empowered.
Using numerous case examples and dialogues, many step-by-step techniques of non-verbal communication tools that children are familiar with, this book is filled with practical ideas on utilizing childrens solutions.
Interviewing for Solutions, 4th edition (2012)
Major changes to this fourth edition include a substantial reorganization of the section on interviewing skills, a significantly updated presentation of the research support for solution focused brief therapy, and invaluable insights into solution focused therapeutic conversation from the field of microanalysis.
The book is organized to provide you with a thorough, detailed introduction to the solution-focused approach. Students love its easy to read, informal style and practical suggestions that guide them through the complexities of useful interviewing, even in the most difficult situations.
Also available: Companion DVD, offered separately. See the DVD page for more information.
Free downloads of the Instructor's Guide and the Learner's Workbook can be found on the Downloads page.
Building Solutions in Child Protective Services
How does one change the attitudes and practices of Child Protective Services - often overwhelmed and understaffed? This book has two parts: in the first, the authors put CPS in historical context; and in the second part, they will walk you through the nuts and bolts of implementation of changes from the first phone call to case closing, including discussion about placing a child out of home. Berg and Kelly also discuss supervision, consultation and on-going training as well as their vision of the future of CPS.
This book is NOT a manual. Rather, it is a challenge for practitioners to step out of the traditional CPS "box" and think differently, to create client-driven services that make sense and ultimately are more helpful and respectful to the families and, most of all, ensure the safety of children. Easy to read style, free of jargon.
Family Based Services
Written for those who work "in the trenches" of child welfare and in-home therapy, this book gives step-by-step descriptions of how to apply the principles of solution-building with families experiencing overwhelming problems. This book will help you reclaim the original reason you have entered the human services; to make a difference in client's lives.
Numerous case examples may break your heart, but Insoo describes the detailed procedures of working with such cases with warmth, wisdom and humanity. The outcome of asking questions, from a posture of "not-knowing," is that clients become cooperative, empowered and they are asked to find solutions. This little best seller reads like a novel because it is written in an easy to read style that avoids jargon.

Working With the Problem Drinker
Traditional substance abuse treatment programs are under increasing pressure to be innovative, cost-efficient and client-driven. The Solution-Focused approach offers a model for effective, yet brief treatment for these cases traditionally thought to be difficult to work with. This book turns the traditional view of alcohol treatment upside down and puts the client in charge of their treatment, thus increasing his/her investment in generating solutions.
Resolving Sexual Abuse
In his foreword to this book, Steve de Shazer writes that Yvonne Dolan "carefully situates her work within a larger context involving the treatment of sexual abuse survivors and the pertinent research." "This word, survivors, implies that (as Dolan points out) these clientsand indeed all clientshave what it takes to survive, i.e., persistence, strengths, skills, resources, etc." "And, as Dolan shows us, these tools, useful for survival, can also be useful in building a new, more satisfactory life."
The Miracle Method: A Radically New Approach to Problem Drinking
Are you looking for a self-help guide to your personal problem drinking? Do you know someone who might need such a guide? This simple, easy to read and follow guide will provide hope and inspiration to those who need a miracle to overcome a very difficult problem. We warn, however, simple is not easy but if you are looking for a solution that will work for you, this is the book to read.

Willmar sweeps at True Team track sectionals
GLENCOE -- While some coaches don't particularly care for True Team track and field, Willmar coach Jerry Popp is a firm believer in the event.
"This is our favorite meet of the year and probably the one we focus on the most," he said, a day after both his boys and girls teams won Section 4A True Team titles at Glencoe-Silver Lake High School. "If we could only win one meet of the year, this would be it."
Willmar has one of the deepest track teams around with over 120 athletes, and that depth stands out in a True Team format.
"This is a time when every single kid's efforts count at a meet," Popp said. "It is not your first-place kids who win. It is those other kids who make up the bulk of the team that will determine where you finish. You have to have quality athletes in the majority of the 18 events."
Willmar finished with 384.5 points to win the boys half of the eight-team meet. Glencoe-Silver Lake finished second with 351.5 points. On the girls' side, Willmar prevailed with 390 points to 358.5 for runner-up Hutchinson. Willmar advances to the Class A State True Team meet May 21 in Stillwater.
Popp was especially pleased with his team's performance despite the temperature in the upper 80's with high humidity and a stiff wind.
"I would guess that at least one-third of our team recorded season-best efforts yesterday," he remarked. "They were jacked for this meet and it showed. At least six of our eight throwers recorded season or lifetime bests. The same with our jumpers."
One top individual performance came from Rose Jackson, a sophomore who won the girls' 100, 200, long jump and was part of a relay team that finished second.
While the state meet in June awards individuals and a team championship in each class, a team can win a title with one or two athletes finishing high in more than one event because of the number of schools represented.
"Having one or two 'studs' does not have anything to with a team," Popp insisted. "Obviously, I believe in the team concept being more important than individuals. Our kids have bought into this. They compete unbelievably hard for a spot in this meet and would probably rather (compete) there than anywhere else."

Since its publication in 2001, You Are My I Love You has sold half a million copies worldwide and given voice to the unique love parents feel for their children. Now the creators of this modern classic reunite to honor the special bond between grandparent and grandchild, the one of passing along tradition, joyful spoiling, nurturing imagination, and pure adoration. Whether it's the sharing of stories or romping horsey rides, silly tickle fights or lazy fishing trips, there's truly nothing like it.
With touching, heartfelt words and warm, playful illustrations, Maryann Cusimano Love and Satomi Ichikawa shine their spotlight on this unique relationship. AUTHOBIO: Maryann Cusimano Love lives in Tracy's Landing, Maryland.
Satomi Ichikawa lives in Paris, France.
Every page of this dear tale of a grandmother bear and grandchild bear overflows with familial love and joy in both words and illustrations. The language is lovely and lyrical, as metaphors poetically describe first the grandparent and then the grandchild. Often the comparison is complementary, such as "I am your home-baked bread / you are my grape jelly" or phrased in terms of a contrast, such as "I am your wise face / you are my new-tooth smile." As beautiful as the language is, the illustrations are equally charming. Grandmother and grandchild sing to each other, the grandma bear gazing fondly at the open-mouthed, tune-belting child bear. They stare expectantly together into the pond after throwing in a penny with a wish. They snuggle under a tree for a catnap as the grandmother says, "I am your good-night prayer / you are my fast asleep." A slow and sleepy ending makes this book suitable for bedtime reading. Page after page celebrates intergenerational affection with warmth and beauty. The story may prompt discussions with readers about time spent with grandparents and the ways children connect with older generations. Reviewer: Michele C. Hughes

The two candidates vying for the Republican nomination in the 1st Congressional District participated in a candidate forum over the weekend. Rob Blum, a Dubuque businessman, and Ben Lange, an attorney from Independence, did their best to impress voters in Poweshiek County on Saturday morning.
Poweshiek County was part of the 3rd Congressional District until last year's redistricting made it party of the 1st District. That means Lange, the 2010 Republican nominee, doesn't have the advantage from campaigning there two years ago like he does in other parts of the district. Poweshiek County is also where Democrat Congressman Bruce Braley grew up and currently owns a home on Holiday Lake.
There was more stylistic difference between the two candidates at Saturday's forum than anything else. While neither candidate directly criticized the other, there was plenty of tension in the air as the two competed for votes in a quickly approaching primary. Lange repeatedly made the point that he is the best prepared to take on Braley in the fall, while Blum made it clear that he wasn't running to make a career out of being a member of congress.
Below are my observations from the forum.
Lange: Polished, Confident, and On Message
Lange is a more polished and confident candidate than he was two years ago. Lange's big advantage in the primary is that he was on the ballot in nine of the 20 counties in the district two years ago. Helping matters even more is that he can make a powerful argument that he almost beat Braley in 2010 and the district is more favorable to Republicans in its new configuration.
When I first saw Lange speak at an event in Goose Lake two years ago, there wasn't much that caught my eye when compared to the other candidates he was running against. Lange blossomed into a formidable candidate in the general election, and now after coming so close to defeating Braley, he has the confidence that candidates need to take on and defeat an incumbent.
Lange was also on message on Saturday. In addition to making a pitch for why he's the best positioned to go up against Braley, Lange also stuck to his "Generational Compact" theme of his ongoing district tour and ad campaign. Lange talks about how unfair it is for the current generation to keep indebting future generations by continuing to add to the national debt and refusing to tackle entitlement spending.
Blum: Tea Party Populism, Real World Experience, and Plenty of Red Meat
As a successful businessman and political columnist for his local newspaper, Blum doesn't lack confidence either. Blum's resume and life story are impressive. On a professional level, he talked about growing a staff of five with a payroll of $100,000 to a staff of 350 with a payroll of $10 million under his leadership. On a personal level he talks about being a father, high school basketball coach, and surrogate father to Malcolm, a kid from Chicago who couldn't read in the 6th grade and now has a 3.8 grade point average at the University of Dubuque.
Blum has been able to relate his business background to a populist Tea Part message that stresses term limits, personal responsibility, and fiscal responsibility. If elected to Congress, Blum has pledged that he would only serve three terms. He also told the audience that he would opt out of the congressional pension program, and would only take a salary of $39,000, which is the average national wage. Blum's willingness to embrace these positions makes him a natural fit with Tea Party activists.
Even though running for Congress can be a daunting task, especially for first time candidates, Blum is smart to give voters plenty of red meat when speaking to an audience. In addition to talking about term limits, Blum also railed against the EPA, making the Bush tax cuts permanent, eliminating the death tax, and highlighting his pro-life beliefs. Blum did a good job by providing a lot of substance on a number of issues.
No Love for Speaker Boehner from Blum
At points in the candidate forum, it seemed like Blum was painting Lange as a candidate who wants to get elected to Congress so that he could make a career out of it. In doing so, Blum also ripped the current Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner.
Blum said that what matters most is what type of candidates we send to Washington D.C. He said that you have to know what their motives are, because far too many politicians get elected that go along to get along after "Boehner has them over for coffee and convinces them on what they need to do."
Blum's anti-Boehner talk might help him with some anti-establishment voters in the primary, but it won't help him in the general election when he will need the help of national leaders if he wants to have a real shot at unseating Braley. Being critical of Republican leadership isn't going to help him advance his agenda either. Again, the tough language plays well with some voters, but it creates unnecessary problems down the road.

- 2/3 cup mozzarella, grates
How You Make It:
- Melt the butter over medium heat and add the garlic. When it gets sticky, add the cream cheese and cream. Season with salt and pepper. Throw in the parmesan. Remove from the heat, allow to cool briefly, then add HALF to the shredded chicken. Add the parsley and stir well.
- Slice your lasagna sheets in half lengthways. Spoon chicken mix all over the long piece of pasta. Roll up. Repeat. Place half of the remaining sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Pop the roll ups down on top (it should make about 6-8). Spoon over the final bit of sauce, top with mozzarella and cover with foil. Bake for 40 minutes at 190°C. Remove the foil and bake for a further 10 minutes.
- Destroy.

Vanessa's headphones sit around her neck while music continues to play as she bops her head to the beat. "Huh." She stares at the photos comparing the two.
Elissa leans closer, "What?"
"See this?" Vanessa pulls her headset off completely so she can move freely across the room. She presses a button on a remote and the photos are projected and enlarged. Pointing to the photo on the left, "This is the side of the pool where the blood was found."
"Right… only it looks smeared not splattered." Elissa steps closer peering at the photo.
"True and it was… by hand." She touches the screen, tapping twice before elongating her fingers, enlarging the image. "You can see here how it's not random, that isn't a splatter of blood. Someone put it there to take the attention away from what really caused the wound."
"What about the wound?" Elissa watches as Vanessa brings up another photograph, this one of their second victim and zooming closer to the head wound.
Vanessa points to the wound's shape. "While the water has been kind enough to clean the wound, it also diluted the blood around the wound itself. Here you can see the indention is not angular, it is circular. So as Doc pointed out, it was blunt trauma to the head, but not the side of the pool."
Elissa nods slowly. "Travis Knight was killed."
"The amount of drugs and alcohol in his system could have killed a horse, but it was the hit to the head and drowning that killed him." Vanessa tilts her head and steps closer to the screen. "I just need to figure out what that is and we may have a weapon."
"Oh that would make life a bit easier. Do you think you can really do that?" Elissa steps closer peering at the wound and wrinkling her nose. "Ya I have no idea what I'm looking at."
Vanessa simply grins and moves her out of the way. "Go do your detective-ly type…" She waves a hand in the general direction of the door, "stuff. Leave this to me."
Elissa grins gratefully moving out of the way, "Thanks, Vanessa."
The phone on her desk rings again just as she reaches out to pick it up. "1st Division, Putnam." Her eyes widen and she turns towards Hector while listening to the caller. "Thanks for the update. We'll be out later this morning. A crew should be there or will be shortly."
Elissa stares at the handset in her hand, biting her lip. Hector grows impatient. "Who was that and what was the update?"
"That was our friend the butler, Cecil 'I-don't-exist' Jonahs," Elissa sets the handset back on the cradle. "He believes the 'do-da' event that Kingston Riley referred to was to be Peter Hamilton's funeral. Mrs. Hamilton told Cecil last night to expect a large gathering in the gardens. Apparently she is throwing some kind of party."
"His body was released this morning." Hector peers at her. "How did she get word last night?"
"We'll just have to ask her." Elissa leans against her desk, folding her arms. "Have you heard back about Cecil's bogus last name?"
"Not yet, boys downstairs said to give them another day." Hector looks at the clock, notes the time and closes his notebook. "You're on your own going back to the house. I have someone coming in."
"What's going on?" She watches as he slips his coat back on and fixes his collar. "Hector? Who's coming in?"
"I'll fill you in later." Grabbing up his notebook, Hector winds his way through desks towards the interrogation rooms without a backwards glance.
He pauses with his hand on the knob taking a calming breath before entering. The occupant doesn't bother to look up from the table. "Thanks for coming in." Hector sets a folder on the table and takes a seat across from him. He folds his hands across the folder looking at the man calmly. Jenson remains impassive for a few minutes before sighing deeply.
"Did you know Travis Knight?" Hector opens the file in front of him, sifting through pages.
"Did I, not do I?" Jenson clasps his fingers together, leaving them in plain sight on the table before him before lifting his gaze to meet Hector's. "No."
"He was found dead at the Hamilton estate yesterday." Hector watches Jenson noting no reaction. "We also learned you have had regular meetings with Peter Hamilton."
Jenson's lip quirks, "I work for Hamilton Industries."
"You had a private meeting with Peter Hamilton the night before his death. You failed to mention having visited the estate the night before his murder." Hector peers at him, having chosen his words carefully.
"You didn't ask." Jenson's eyes tighten as he fights for control. "So his death wasn't an accident?"
"No, Peter Hamilton was killed-"
"Shit…" Hector's words are interrupted as Jenson flinches physically. "Of course, you're homicide. Why else would you be investigating his death? Sorry, it's just…" Jenson stands suddenly and begins pacing. "You tell him, be careful Pete… you're pissing off too many people, you're too powerful for such a small town and no, he doesn't want to listen because he feels invincible." He grabs the back of the chair bracing his body as it threatens to sway. "Ah, fuck."
Jenson leans against the wall as his emotions break loose. He closes his eyes tight against the tears that stubbornly fall and he groans. "It was hard enough knowing he died, alone in some ravine… but murdered? Who could do something like that?" He shakes his head slowly. "If they just knew him, if…" Jenson swipes angrily at his eyes, brushing away his tears calming his outburst. He straightens and sits back into the chair, staring at the table. "Interview is over. I want a lawyer."

Sing, Fonzie!
No? Oh, alright... :(
As you can see from the back cover text, Henry Winkler, a.k.a. Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli on Happy Days, does not sing on this album. It was just a way of cashing in on the Fonz craze. They even added a cut-out to the back so girls could stand it up like a picture.
More info on Fonzie here.

Great service and outstanding food. The donuts melt in your mouth. Best donuts in the Colorado Springs area!
Sean B.
Amazing doughnuts, very friendly staff, and a great family atmosphere. My only regret is that I didn't have any cash to leave a tip with. I highly recommend this place.
James M.
Had your doughnuts for the first time today... Tried the Devil's food cake, plain vanilla frosted, and the cookies and creme one. I was not disappointed! Heck, you guys are way better than Dunkin' Doughnuts in my opinion!
Genevieve N.
This place is great. Doughnuts are delicious, prices are reasonable, and the staff is extremely friendly.
Joel M. (Colorado Springs)
Oh my gosh, the donuts are fantastic! What a treat! The hot chocolate and house coffee are delicious. The young women who waited on me was very sweet and asked if anyone was military. I also had a nice visit with the owner about flying the huge American Flag. I love doing business with such wonderful people and get a great product!
Cindy J. (Colorado Springs)
Since moving out to Colorado Springs and not seeing a Krispy Kreme in town, I tried this place to get my donut fix. Learned the bakers show up at midnight and the decorators at 4am everyday. The only thing missing is hot glazed donuts available all day, but :09 seconds in the microwave & any donut tastes fresh and warm even days later.
Kirk K.
The blueberry donut is awesome! We also enjoyed the Bavarian Crème filled and my son loved the vanilla sprinkles. Thank You!
Jessica H. (Portland, OR)
The employees get to know you just after one visit. They even try and make sure they can get any special donuts done. They also offer a discount to military and first responders.
Amanda O.
Came here on vacation one morning and had a great experience! Very friendly service and the donuts are amazing.
Bret B.
The nicest people work here and the donuts are amazing too! Their frosting on their glazed donuts rivals Krispy Kreme. Very friendly atmosphere, definitely reminded me of some good ol'southern hospitality. We will definitely be making many return visits! Thank ya'all!
DeAnn B.
New management Rocks. You can absolutely tell these donuts are homemade. Nice & fluffy, without being too dry and airy. Must try the new maple bacon donut!
Kimberly S.
How Our Donuts Are MadeFresh Everyday
Here's a brief overview of how our donuts are made. The entire process takes approximately 3 hours from beginning to end and involves 3 different steps.
1. Baking
Our bakers start early in the morning using a donut flour from Southern Maid Donut Flour Company. We let the dough rise twice after mixing and separate it into manageable sizes that are rolled out and cut into our various donut types.
2. Frying
The cut dough then goes into a special Donut Fry Shortening for 90 seconds (45 seconds on each side). The special shortening and flour we use allows for minimal oil absorption, giving our donuts a very light taste.
3. Decorating
Our trained decorators use icings made in store from scratch and a wide variety of toppings to decorate our donuts. This allows us to produce a large variety of donuts including special seasonal donuts offered at certain times during the year.

Anticipation is making me wait… Congressman Ron Paul will be in Des Moines, Iowa tomorrow, April 26th, to make an important announcement about his political organization. The rumors are flying that an official announcement may occur. Congressman Paul continues to make history as he champions issues many republicans are not willing to make such a strong stand on like ending the Federal Reserve and his conservative views on war.
Dr. Paul will hold a press conference at 3:45 pm CT in the Library Room at the north end of the Holiday Inn Des Moines Airport, located at 6111 Fleur Drive in Des Moines. Members of the Media are most welcome to attend.
Consider these Tweets…
And HERE WE GO!…. Tonight Dr. Paul on the Steven Colbert show.

We are Disney Vacation Club members. My wife and I booked a Savannah View Studio room. The room comes with a queen bed, small kitchenette (sink, fridge, microwave, limited utensils; no stove), sofa and coffee table, two chairs and eating table, one bathroom and a balcony
The studio room was plenty large for two people. The room furniture and decoration was African-themed that was both attractive and quality. The bed was good, but not great. It would have benefitted from feather pillows and perhaps a new mattress.
The balcony was fantastic, as it provided a nice place to enjoy the fresh air and see the savannah animals. The animals were very entertaining. We had a hornbill (large, dark-colored bird) that loved human attention and was hilarious to watch. The red river hogs provided great entertainment as they showed the other animals who was in charge.
On site is the Sanaa , an African-themed restaurant with very good service and fantastic food with an Indian/African flare. Free buses provide access to all of the parks and attractions.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Escape on your own African safari adventure at this magnificent resort hotel. Inspired by the traditional African kraal, the horseshoe-curved design offers exquisite views of lush savannas-where over 30 species of African wildlife freely roam.

Prepare for the Olympics By Watching Body Paint Beach Soccer
Hot chicks, painted on uniforms...it literally is the PERFECT spectator sport.
Hot chicks, painted on uniforms...it literally is the PERFECT spectator sport.
You may not understand the words, but the meaning is perfectly clear.
Add this to your collection of wildlife-infused sports highlights.
Having something embarrassing happen to you is one thing. Having something embarrassing happen to you while on television is another, especially with the way things go viral nowadays.
People act out in strange ways when they are angry, perhaps making them look back on their actions afterwards and wonder why the hell they did what they did. Luckily for them, though, those moments most likely won't go viral.
That's not the case for Besnik Hasi, the head soccer coach for Royal Sports Club Anderlecht in the Netherlands.
World Cup fever has struck. This kid sums up my feelings on the whole ordeal. He's sitting in his room playing with his toys when USA scores! Screams come from the other room. His commentary is priceless.
England took on Italy in the first round of the World Cup over the weekend.
As time was winding down Saturday in Manaus, Brazil, England found itself down 2-1. After a free kick by Italy deflected off the crossbar and out of bounds, England's goalie, Joe Hart, was pretty anxious for his goal kick. Like really really anxious.
I'm going to be straight here. I don't get soccer (or as the rest of the world calls it, futbol). This is a sport? A bunch of guys jogging. Face it soccer fans, you're watching a bunch of guys jog up and down the field. Oh, wait! He kicked the ball! More jogging. Yawn.
But for the rest of the world, where the NFL is just a dream, and all their best hockey players have left their respective countries to join the NHL, this soccer...uh, excuse me, FUTBOL...is a big deal. They riot over games, kill each other over games, and in the case of Chilean porn star Marlen Doll, bang random strangers for twelve straight hours over games.
I'm a big sports guy. I love baseball, football, hockey, boxing, etc., but the one sport I could just never get into is soccer. Right now, the World Cup is going on and I couldn't care less. It doesn't interest me what so ever.
But I just discovered a video of Former Playboy Playmates playing football and all of a sudden I'm willing to give soccer another shot. At the very least, I certainly have a firmer grasp on the game now.
Check it out and see if this puts soccer on your radar.
Euro Cup is heating up; the competition that pits the best soccer teams in Europe against each other. Nothing sexy about that. At all. What's hot is Euro porn stars donning body paint for a game of "sexy soccer."
What is dedication?
According to Webster's Dictionary:
Dedication: "to devote wholly and earnestly, as to some person or purpose" (As in: He dedicated his life to fighting corruption.)

New York Times Article 'The Preppers Next Door'
Yesterday I read an article that appeared in The New York Times last weekend entitled "The Preppers Next Door."
I was all prepared to read a hack job about modern survivalism, but came away impressed by Alan Feuer's effort.
This could have something to do with the fact that Feuer himself is a prepper.
The reporter wrote about modern survivalists in the New York City area, including Jason Charles, the New York City firefighter who appeared in season 1 episode 3 of Doomsday Preppers and who heads up the New York City Preppers Network, and Aton Edwards, founder of the International Preparedness Network and who recently starred in the Doomsday Preppers "Escape From New York" special, to name just two.
Articles by mainstream journalists in which preppers aren't portrayed as somewhat to full-blown kooky are few-and-far-between, so it was refreshing to come across Feuer's piece, which you can read here on the Times website.
By Christopher E. Hill, Editor
Survival And Prosperity (www.survivalandprosperity.com)
On TV: Doomsday Preppers 'Escape From New York' Preview
Season 2 of National Geographic Channel's Doomsday Preppers TV series continues tonight with episode 6, "Escape from New York," which airs at 9 PM ET. From the Nat Geo Channel webpage for the TV show:
With recent storms such as Sandy, New Yorkers now more than ever need to have escape plans in case they need to flee. NGC cameras follow three New Yorkers as they plot their routes out of the city, literally escaping the grid to reach safety.
Once again, the National Geographic Channel provided me with an advanced screening opportunity of the episode, and it didn't disappoint. As a matter of fact, it really hit close to home as I too live in a large U.S. city (Chicago).
There were three preppers featured in "Escape from New York." First up was Cameron Moore in Brooklyn, a college student studying for medical school. Cameron told viewers:
I'm preparing for a meltdown at the Indian Point Nuclear Facility.
Next up was Margaret Ling in Harlem, who told viewers:
I'm preparing for a catastrophic hurricane.
Finally, there's Jay, a Wall Street bond trader, who explained:
I'm preparing for another terrorist attack.
All three preppers fear what might happen in New York City should TSHTF. From the show:
That's why for these three New York preppers, at the first sign of trouble, survival comes down to one objective.
CAMERON: Get out of New York City.
JAY: Leaving Manhattan as soon as possible.
MARGARET: Grab my bag and just jet out.
They've also paired with a mentor to help them refine their plan. Krav Maga instructor Matan Gavish, preparedness expert Aton Edwards, and urban survivalist Shane Hobel. Now, over the course of one night, all three preppers will put their bug out plans into action for the first time and attempt to escape New York.
The first prepper introduced in the episode was Margaret Ling. In this segment, Margaret, who wears a backpack full of survival supplies every day, revealed that she was concerned about a major hurricane hitting the "Big Apple." Ling told viewers:
I know I don't want to be sent to a shelter. And I plan to get out of the city and make my way up to the mountains in upstate New York close to Canada. The last and worst case scenario is walking the entire distance to safety up in the mountains.
Margaret is paired with Krav Maga Academy founder and chief instructor Matan Gavish to help get her prepared.
"Doomsday Preppers: Lollipop Lolliprep"
Nat Geo Channel Video
The second prepper the show focused on was Cameron Moore. In this segment, Cameron shared his fears about an Indian Point Nuclear Facility meltdown and the potential for radiation escaping the facility. He informed viewers:
When TSHTF, I will bug out.
Cameron worked with International Preparedness Network executive director Aton Edwards to help him with his preps.
Finally, there's Jay (no surname given). Jay was in Manhattan on September 11, 2001. And the Wall Street bond trader realizes New York City remains an attractive terrorist target. He told viewers:
I don't think it's going to end. I don't think that we're going to wake up all of a sudden one day and all of a sudden we're not going to be a target to terrorists around the world. A dirty bomb is, without question, an option for terrorists out there.
From the show:
If terrorists detonate dirty bombs across Manhattan, as Jay fears, he's instructed his wife Mindy and their 6-year-old daughter to get ready to flee the city.
Should TSHTF, Jay's goal is to get out of the financial district and get back to his family as soon as possible. Jay paired up with Mountain Scout Survival School founder and instructor Shane Hobel to come up with a plan to make that happen.
With the three preppers coming from the same area of the country and attempting a simultaneous bug out, this particular episode was more like a TV special. A TV special for urban preppers. According to the U.S. Census earlier this year, more Americans are living in cities now than ever before. And perhaps it's because I live in a major American city that I found "Escape from New York" particularly interesting. Although that bike "borrowing" bit was a little over the top. Still, good stuff overall.
And I applaud National Geographic Channel for not removing Doomsday Preppers from the air due to some in the press possibly trying to link preppers with last week's school shooting.
Blamethrowers. Precisely what the world needs more of these days.
Enjoy tonight's episode. For more information, please visit the Doomsday Preppers page on the National Geographic Channel website here.
