PDF of Study Guide available HERE
We need a good source of direction for our soul. How do we answer the question, “What will guide my life?” How will we know what God desires and what is best? The Word of God is our best source.
These are the beginning steps to come to terms with the Bible as the means of hearing God’s Word. Please understand, many read the Bible and even know the Bible, yet do not hear God’s Word. In order to grow as a disciple of Jesus, we must learn to hear God’s Word.
2 Timothy 2:15-16 (NLT) Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth. 16 Avoid worthless, foolish talk that only leads to more godless behavior.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NLT) All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17 God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.
Study the Bible
What Does it Say? Comprehending the words on a page is simple enough, but there are some tough passages in Scripture. At least, they seem tough. Why? Because, they may be very counter cultural to our time in history. The Bible discusses sex, gender, and the sanctity of life. These are not just hot topics of today. They may seem like current issues, but they have always been around. The Bible also holds passages that are culturally relevant to a time period or specific to the intended audience. But generally, the Bible is very straightforward. Most often we are not struggling to understand it, but to apply it.
What Does it Mean? What is the context? To whom was it written? What is its purpose? The context of a scripture matters. And, we must be cautious of the lens we view it with. Our personal history, abuses, and values all contribute to our understanding of a given text.
What Should be Done? The most important part is obedience, compliance, and action. The Bible is a book to be applied and that is the key to “hearing the Word of God”. This study and application should not be pursued in isolation. The Bible clearly guides us to be among others in this pursuit. We need others to help us understand, apply, adjust, and grow.
Mark 4:23 (NIV) If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear.”
Romans 10:17 (ESV) So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
Listen To The Word Of God
Build Your Faith. Once you begin reading, reflecting and doing, you will tune into God’s Voice. The Bible teaches us the language of God. The images, the symbols, the similes and metaphors are his language. Then, the epiphanies will come. God’s Word is not about knowledge, facts, and mere information. It is about revelation. That is why I distinguish between the Bible and actually hearing the Word of God.
Here is how it works. I take action on something I have found in the Bible and do what God says is right. Then I will make a discovery. Certainly, it may be a painful discovery, but it is nonetheless correct. One way or another, I will learn that God can be trusted. I learn this over and over. Every time I learn it, the lesson drives deeper and deeper. I will also likely share the story. My story, then, becomes a gift to another. What I learn to give, I receive in abundance. So, our faith grows as our trust in God deepens.
Hebrews 4:12 (NLT) For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.
Heal Your Heart. We are filled with wounds, perspectives, values, and weakness. The Word of God performs soul surgery as it is discovered and applied. This is not an intellectual pursuit, it never was. It is a pursuit for both the soul and the spirit.
There is more, better, deeper, and stronger guidance available to you. It is not rocket science. You do not need to be a theologian. You are a theologian simply because you have thoughts about God. But, you need not become an intellectual to hear from God. You simply need to learn, try, discover, share, and adjust.
James 1:18 (NLT) He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession.
Powerful Stuff! This is the most powerful of ideas and practices. Hearing from God gives birth to our eternal life. It changes, encourages, empowers, and equips us for great things. This the disciple’s journey. It is an exploration and discovery of the Kingdom. This is your life! Not the Bible alone, but the Bible, coupled with hearing the Word of God through application, failure, discovery, and victory! Soo…
James 1:21 (NLT) So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls.
Replace the Junk. You cannot stop the bad, you can only push it out of your life. So start frontloading your life with the Good Stuff, the God Stuff. Push out the weaknesses, lies, strongholds, and the like.
John 14:23-24 (NLT) Jesus replied, “All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them. 24 Anyone who doesn’t love me will not obey me…
Take Some Risk. Sooner or later you have to stop talking about walking on water and step out of the boat. The Book of Acts isn’t over. The best stuff is still to come. Take a step, get comfortable with failure, learn, adjust, and try again. Pretty soon you’ll be strolling across the raging sea of this life with Jesus.
James 1:25 (NLT) But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.
Enjoy Some Blessing! We DESPERATELY need blessing. This is how you discover greater blessings. The trial and error of a journey with Jesus will open doors that you didn’t even know existed. If you are ready for some blessing then dive into the Word of God. Begin with, “What does it say? What does it mean? And, What should I do?”

KiNK presents Home! This aptly titled EP is the debut release on the newborn label Sofia. Founded by Strahil Velchev and Konstantin Petrov, Sofia is not only the physical location where this music was made, the city where they met and developed as artists, but also a paradox that is reflected in the art and music that comes from the place. Beautiful and ugly at the same time, clean and dirty, brutal as well as romantic, it’s a place where aesthetically seemingly incompatible styles come together in a twisted, yet unifying form. The photographs for the sleeves are made by influential local selector DJ Valentine, effortlessly capturing the local reality.
Those pieces of a paradox also are reflected in the music. The typical fine-grit of KiNK’s production skills meets his love for the elements of surprise and the classic building blocks and plaster of house and techno to create something that is very much his own, while breathing the spirit of early days and pioneering times. Hinged just before and after peak time, the tracks on this EP are cohesive, made to last and rounded off by the contemplativeness of yet another collaboration with Rachel Row called The Beauty. The first of many to come. And as always: Remember the future!

Women of various ethnicities gather annually for the “Women of Diversity” Dinner in Sydney. Instigated by the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies in 2016, the event, held each July, brings together hundreds of women from across Sydney for an evening of dance, music, poetry and presentations. The event celebrates commonality in womanhood, in spite of their differences in upbringing, life stories and experiences in Australia. It is an evening to recognise women’s identity as sisters of the same global family.
COVID-19 has not halted the women’s enthusiasm to meet again this year. The steering committee, comprising representatives from organisations including Afghan Women on the Move, Australian South Sea Islanders – Port Jackson, Ethnic Communities Council of NSW, Muslim Women’s National Network of Australia, NSW Jewish Board of Deputies, SAHELI (South Asian Women’s organisation) and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, had its first planning meeting, held virtually. During this meeting, the women expressed a collective sense of belonging, respect and unity. Having developed their friendships over four years, the women have learned about each other’s work and sometimes organised joint projects. They have come to admire the contribution that each woman, and their organisation, make to sustain a harmonious community.
Traditionally, the Diversity Dinner gives high regard to the refugee community. Indeed, the 2020 head committee member, Maryam Zahid, arrived in Australia at the age of 20 as an Afghan refugee. Her leadership role on this event speaks loudly of the positive influence which refugees and migrants can make. In light of current national and international happenings, this year’s event will also celebrate the rich history of Indigenous women. Leading up to July, the organisers can pre-empt that the 2020 event will be a memorable experience.
Style Guide Note:When reporting about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, please use the complete name of the Church in the first reference. For more information on the use of the name of the Church, go to our online Style Guide.

Mary and Kate love Ella Jenkins, they enjoy Justin Roberts and Ralph's World but the Larkin and Moran Brothers, an Irish pub band, is my daughters' favorite band. I slip one of their CDs into the player in the car and Kate screams, the Larkin Brothers! Irish pub music, while fun and silly, is not always geared toward children, Whiskey in the Jar being a fine example, and Mary and Kate love to sing along with that one. Their very favorite being Bog Down in the Valley-O, a fun song that is sung progressively faster and faster until you can understand very little of what is being sung. Not Mary and Kate, they know all the words and keep up, singing and spinning as fast as they can go.
No complaints, we love them also and if Mary and Kate want to spend some time hanging out in a pub listening to music, that's just what we must do for our daughters' music education. Saturday the Larkin and Moran Brothers played at the Celtic Festival in Grant Park. Far from the warmth and shelter of a pub, we stood outside in the rain, in a downpour, record rainfall, four very wet music fans dancing and singing like mad.
We skipped the sheep herding. Disappointed as I was, I couldn't complain too much knowing that friends in Texas were dealing with much worse. I'll try not to imagine what all those wet sheep may have smelled like.

A Philippine Navy team has carried out an inspection of the new fast attack interdiction craft missile (FAIC-M) ships during sea trials in Israel.
The trials comprised functional testing of various systems of the boats and were conducted from 27 to 30 June.
During testing, two FAIC missiles including Mini-Typhoon machine gun system and Typhoon 30mm automatic cannon were launched from the vessels.
The demonstration involved testing the redundancy controls of the two missiles from open pilot house.
It also included sea trials of the vessels’ rigid-hull inflatable boat (RHIB).
In a statement, Philippine Navy spokesperson commander Benjo Negranza said: “The inspection held from 27 to 30 June 2022 included the functional testing of all mission-critical machineries, navigation and communications equipment, and live firing of its combat systems.”
Following the completion of inspection, a joint certification of compliance for the shipment of two FAICs to the Philippines was also signed.
Delivery of the vessels is expected in the middle of third quarter of this year.
Negranza added: “The acquisition of the new crafts is the latest in the Philippine Navy’s pursuit to become a modern and multi-capable naval force, responsible for protecting our maritime nation’s sovereignty.”
The latest move comes after the first two FAIC missiles were launched by the Israel Shipyards in Haifa on 26 June.
The Philippine Navy’s PHP10bn ($181.7m) FAIC-M project includes acquisition of eight vessels.
The project was approved in 2019 under the Horizon II list of the revised Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) modernisation programme.
Out of the eight vessels, four will be equipped with non-line-of-sight missiles with pinpoint precision and a range of 25km, while the other four will have machine guns and light automatic cannons.

Effects of the tax cut, affecting the economy, businesses, and you.
On December 22, 2017, President Donald Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Even though it is now 2019, many businesses and households in America are still affected.
This act cuts individual’s tax rate, doubles the standard deduction, eliminates personal exemptions and cuts corporate tax rates. Essentially it will double your taxable income, a downside for large families who will have to pay higher taxes.
Additionally, health insurance companies will lose money with the repeal of the Obamacare tax for those without health care insurance this year. The healthcare cost will rise, and fewer people will want to get preventative care, such as check ups, because of the increased price.
The Tax Act benefits people with a higher income though, those that make at least $100,000 per year. The Tax Foundation states that, ¨Those who earn more than 95% of the population would receive 2.2 percent increase in after tax income.”
On the other hand, Tax Policy Center responds, ¨Those in bottom 20 percent would only receive a 0.4 percent increase.”
Cutting taxes for the middle class has its benefits, with the likelihood that it will create more jobs than cutting taxes of people with higher incomes. For example, people in the middle class would want to spend every dollar they receive, motivating demand, unlike those who already have enough money.
Businesses are the ones that benefit most from the Tax Act. Unlike our tax cuts, which will expire in 2025, this will become permanent for businesses.
Some businesses, such as corporations, are taking advantage of this opportunity, such as corporations. In March 2018, they bought back much of their own stocks, spending a total of $305 billion.
Not only will this affect people and businesses, but the economy. As well, this will increase government debt to a deficit of one trillion dollars over the span of ten years.
U.S. income tax will progressively get worse as these tax cuts continue to occur, including the fact that the rates will be lowered for everyone, not excluding high income taxpayers. The one bright side is that this may create at least 339,000 jobs and add a percentage of 1.5 to wages.
According to the U.S. treasury, they assume that the tax cut will bring in 1.8 trillion dollars of new revenue. It would also increase sovereign debt, limiting economic growth and increasing the debt for future generations.
Guy Berkebile, the owner of Guy Chemical Company, responds, “I was paying nearly 50 percent of my income, my profits back to the government in the form of taxes and having more money in my pocket has enabled me to invest heavily.”
Now, there are 29 new jobs there out of the 160 employees. Berkebile expresses his opinion on how the new tax cuts benefits himself and other families, saying it keeps them more financially stable.
A middle class teacher and mother Tatum Tirado insists asks, “How do I provide for my family or feel confident I am climbing the ladder to live the middle class lifestyle when everything gets more expensive but my salary doesn’t go up.”
These concerns are what some middle class families feel about the tax cut. These two stories will be a huge factor in considering whether the taxes will be made permanent. As for now, some families and businesses benefit from this, but could eventually harm the economy in future years.

The 2011 Seniors Games got underway yesterday, at least for some, other athletes are still on ice until today.
While curling got off to an early start yesterday, ice-hockey for the 55+ and 70+ won’t lace them up until today at the Cominco Arena: the first game going at 8 a.m. this morning.
The Kootenay Glacier Kings 55 + team take on the Schooners at 9:30 a.m. and again at 2 p.m when they face the Salmon Arm 55ers.
While Zone 6 was able to ice three teams this year, the West Kootenay 60+ and 65+ squads are competing at the Nelson and District Sports Complex.
The West Kootenay sent only one team to the Courtenay/Comox Seniors Games in 2010. A determined group of young seniors formed a 55+ team and with barely two lines, still managed to win a bronze medal.
“Last year when we were down a bit in terms of numbers, we played five games in three days with 11 guys, and we lost two games by a goal, and we could have easily won those games,” said team forward Wayne Florko from Trail.
With three teams each boasting a full squad of nine forwards, five defensemen and two goalies this year, Zone 6 is ready to compete.
“We’re looking at least to be in the mix, to be competitive but other teams could have strengthened too, we don’t know what they’ve got,” said Florko.
The Glacier Kings teams are a mix of guys from Castlegar, Rossland, Fruitvale, Nelson and Trail, many are ex-Smoke Eaters and ex-Nelson Maple Leafs that grew up as heated rivals but now team up to take on the rest of B.C.
“They’re really a great bunch of guys, lots of fun to be around,” said the Glenmerry teacher as a teammate yells out, “Except for you Flork.”
The Glacier Kings are more prepared this year, enjoying a couple practices this time around and is confident it will translate into better results on home ice.
In Trail, the Glacier Kings 55+ team are scheduled to play their final game of the round robin at noon on Friday. The medal rounds begin for both divisions late Friday and the team hopes to be in the gold medal game at 11 a.m. Saturday.

Sean Carroll in Preposterous Universe:
It’s easy to foresee that technological progress will change how we live; it’s much harder to anticipate exactly how. Self-driving cars represent an enormous technological challenge, but one that is plausibly on the way to being solved. What will be the unanticipated consequences when autonomous vehicles become commonplace? Jason Torchinsky is a fan of technology, but also a fan of driving, and his recent book Robot, Take the Wheel examines how our relationship with cars is likely to change in the near future.

Since being elevated to the position of red winemaker at Simonsig, Michael Malan doesn’t get to spend as much time in the vineyards as he’d like. “Yup, the winery duties keep you on your toes, but whenever I get the opportunity, I check things out in the vineyards,” says Michael. “Which is about 20% of my working time. I just love it there.”
It is the first week of Spring 2019 and Michael is in the 20-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard to the right of the entrance to Simonsig. “It’s been a cold, long winter and the vines had the chance to go into an extended period of dormancy,” he says. “We have done most of our pruning, although this vineyard still has to be pruned – my uncle, Francois Malan – says Cabernet must be pruned before 25 September, as that is his birthday.”
Simonsig did, however, not receive as much rain as could have been expected from a winter perceived to have been one that broke the Cape’s infamous four-year drought. “We’ve had 408mm from January to end August, still a ways to go of the annual average of 760mm,” he says. “But the soils are moist, the farm’s dams are full and conditions are looking better than was the case two years ago. It was a real winter, for a change.”
Bud-break has been even an on schedule in the early varieties, such as Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc. “You obviously don’t call the quality of next year’s vintage in Spring, but the vines are looking in good health and I’ll eagerly be watching the bud-break and growth over the next few weeks.”
Michael employs a boot to scrape at the soil at the foot of the vines. “Look how loose the soil is,” he says. “We send in a machine to hoe the soil at the base of the plants, eradicating weeds and the need to use herbicide,” he says. “I like the concept of a soft approach in the vineyard. Natural fertilizer and minimum herbicide use, as it’s more sustainable and better for the soil. We have a programme whereby ladybugs keep the unwelcome critters away. And then there is leaf-roll…..”
As one of the young generation of wine farmers, it is up to Michael and his ilk to – as far possible – see that leaf-roll virus is removed from the Cape winelands.
“Look at this vineyard,” he says, indicating down a row. “It’s pretty clean, free of leaf-roll. Where you see a vine marked with white you can be sure it has been identified as infected with leaf-roll. It will be removed and a clean, virus-free plant of about one year old will be planted in its place. It’s going to be a long haul, but we plan to be as leaf-roll free as possible. The Cape farmers are united in seeing leaf-roll disappear, and its eradication will have a major effect on wine quality and vine ageability.”
But for now, it’s all eyes on the current conditions and preparing for harvest 2020.

The Jireh Africa Missions Poultry Project
Poultry farming is an endeavor that complements our mission and values very well and we believe it will be success because:
1. Poultry farming is a successful industry in Uganda, especially around Kampala.
2. It requires a relatively small space and small initial investment.
3. There is a sufficient availability of day old chicks and feed
4. We have calculated the breeding to egg laying ratio to build up to a total of 1,000 chicks within the first 6 months.
5. Ultimately, the project goal is to totally fund Jireh Kids Care, enabling them to continue on their mission: to improve the social economic welfare of the vulnerable in our society (the orphans, at risk youth, and the elderly).
6. Create jobs for at least 10 at risk youths not currently employed, giving them an alternative to depending on handouts to survive.
Please consider giving to this fine program: JAM Poultry!

A team of researchers have developed a method to create homemade power sources using 3D printing and graphene. The team has produced prototype batteries with the same power as common AA batteries. The 3D technology can be used to manufacture batteries of any size or shape.
The key advantage of these new 3D-printed batteries is their flexibility, allowing them to be used in places with limited space. The batteries could be easily produced when needed using a 3D printer and a mixture of plastics and graphene. This mixture would then be heated before it is formed into a battery.

On behalf of the Colorado Hospital Association (CHA) and its 104 member hospitals and health systems, we thank the sponsors of Colorado Senate Bill 267 — Sens. Jerry Sonnenberg and Lucia Guzman and Reps. Jon Becker and KC Becker — and all the legislators who voted “yes” on this bill. The passage of SB 267 marks a significant moment in Colorado history.
With exemplary leadership from Senate President Kevin Grantham and House Speaker Crisanta Duran, these four sponsors — and all legislators — demonstrated their commitment to representing the best interest of Coloradans and created a bipartisan solution that solves a significant issue for Colorado and preserved the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights.
This bill was critical to maintain hospital services and access to health care for all Coloradans by preserving necessary Medicaid funding.

The defensive midfielder has been an integral part of CD Nacional’s squad over the last couple of seasons, becoming the first Egyptian to captain his team in the Primeira Liga.
This is not the first time Ghazal has been linked to a move away from the Madeira island with Porto, Hamburg, and other clubs showing interest over the last few transfer windows.
Ghazal recently expressed his concern over not being called up to Egypt’s national team camps despite his form and the offers he’s been receiving. Ghazal also mentioned that he turned down an offer from China last January.
Lazio is in preliminary talks with the Portuguese club, but no official offer has been presented. The 24-year-old is expected to cost the Rome-based club around 1.5 million Euros.
According to TuttoMercatoWeb’s editorial staff, Olympique Marseille is also in the race to sign Ali Ghazal.

It’s been almost a week since my last post. As you may have seen (if you read the last post) there was a photo of a U-Haul. I told you it was my favorite company.
U-Haul is not my favorite company!
Let me tell you a little story. My sister and her husband and two kids moved to Minnesota last weekend. On I35 in southern Minnesota, the axel broke on their U-Haul. They made it though, so all is well.
Did you get that? MY SISTER LIVES IN THE SAME TOWN AS ME!!!! I haven’t had any of my family living nearby for 23 years. We are going to quilt like crazy.
Speaking of quilts, here is the next quilt in my quest to make all of the quilts in the Living Large 2 book.
The fabric is Delilah by Tanya Whelan for Free Spirit Fabric. I know! It’s not Moda, for once! The pattern is Patchwork Posies, and I chose fabric that is very different than what Heather chose. Here’s hers. (Photo stolen from Heather’s blog!)
Here’s one more shot.
I’m liking it already!
I’m also working on a test knit for Kirstin Kapur of Through The Loops.
Here’s her post introducing the shawl. When I read her post a few weeks ago, I contacted her and asked if I could test knit it, because I loved the combo of lace and cables. I’m really enjoying both the yarn and pattern. I’m using Sanguine Gryphon Bugga. The color is Tomato Frog. It’s not nearly as pink as my photo makes it look. I’d call it a true red.
I’ll leave you with a couple of photos of cousin time!
Dreamboy and Frankie are inundated with girls and their giggling!
And there are dog cousins as well!
Life is very good!

Best Store Bought Baby Food
8 Best Store-Bought Baby Foods, According to Experts
- Beech-Nut. This widely available brand offers both organic and natural options, all of which undergo rigorous tests to ensure they’re free from pesticides and heavy metals.
- Baby Gourmet.
- Earth’s Best Organic.
- Little Spoon.
- Happy Baby Food.
Is Store Bought Baby Food Really Bad?
But experts stress that store-bought baby food can still be perfectly healthy. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the low levels of heavy metals found in some baby foods likely pose a very small risk to your child.
What Is The Best Baby Food?
For years, baby rice cereal was considered the best food to start with, but now the American Academy of Pediatrics just recommends any easily digestible foods. If you start with cereal, pick a single-grain variety (rice, barley, or oat — hold off on wheat, a common allergen for many babies, for now).
What Are Good Baby Foods To Make?
Pumpkin makes a great baby food. Dark orange vegetables like carrots and pumpkins are loaded with Vitamin A & many other important nutrients. Canned pumpkin makes baby food making super-convenient, and will warm your baby up for future treats like pumpkin bread.

José Gardea, Chief of Staff for local Councilmember Ed Reyes, told Patch on Friday that community meetings will be held this fall to lay out the plan for converting Veterans Square Memorial into a public park.
It was previously overseen by the Bureau of Street Services.
Gardea said the change in jurisdiction will allow the city to coordinate with Recreation and Parks' landscape architects to begin designing the future of the memorial.
But, what does that future hold? Gardea said that will be determined by the residents of Highland Park.
Gardea said a series of Charrettes--or design-focused community meetings--will be held in the fall to begin forming plans for the park.
"We're not walking in with any set parameters," Gardea said.
In a previous story about the memorial, transportation blogger Severin Martinez suggested that the park could be expanded by eliminating the right-turn-only lane that runs along its perimeter.
"I think a lot of people would like to see that happen, but you would have to be able to massage traffic patterns," Gardea said. "A lot of these ideas have positives and negatives."
Gardea said it was also possible that at least a portion the parking lot could be replaced with green space, should the Senior Center's leaders agree to such a plan.
Some work is already underway near the square. Last week, the low brick wall that runs along the Senior Center parking lot was removed. Gardea said it was done in the interest of public safety.
"The wall was built with a zig-zag design, which provided corners that were very conducive for setting up homeless camps or doing drugs," Gardea said.
He added that, while homelessness was a concern for Council District 1, it was not one that was directly tied to the revitalization of the memorial.
"The homeless issue is a real issue, whether or not we design a new park," he said.
Gardea said that the district has been in contact with the Los Anglees Homeless Services Authority, and has found that many of the homeless living around the memorial were not interested in receiving services.
"It's difficult when you encounter refusal of service," he said .

Bestselling author R. L. Stine has terrified children for decades with his Goosebumps and Fear Street series, and now for the first time (and long overdue, in my opinion) he seeks to create fear in the minds of grownups with his first adult horror novel, Red Rain. But fans of Stine need not worry that the book will feature too many “old people,” for the devils at the heart of this story are identical twin boys.
Lea Sutter is a travel writer looking to write about the beauty and uniqueness of a small island off the coast of South Carolina. It is there that she observes and documents a seemingly unbelievable ritual where the dead are brought back to life. But then the weather turns bad and a hurricane strikes the island, destroying many buildings and leaving many of the inhabitants dead. Lea wakes to find herself one of the few survivors. There are also two young, identical twin boys, Samuel and Daniel, who have lost their home, their parents, everything. Lea decides to adopt the twins and bring them back to her home on Long Island.
Mark, Lea’s husband, is a child psychologist who has written a controversial book about parenting, and is less than thrilled when Lea returns home with these unusual twins. Mark and Lea’s own children, Ira and Elena, don’t take well to the twins either, as they become weirder and weirder each day. Before they know it, something very strange is going on, and Mark finds himself the number one suspect of two gruesome murders, and it all seems to be pointing to these two boys. But they’re so angelic, how could they ever cause harm?
Stine creates an enjoyable horror novel with Red Rain, which gets a little ham-handed at times with Mark’s career and his parenting duties with the twins, as well as excelling in his career with just a bachelor’s degree, and the very unlikely occurrence of a hurricane in April; but it is nevertheless a gripping story with some great gruesome horror elements that will keep readers hooked to the end.

Naptown vs. Beantown in 20 key categories
Who ya got? Vonnegut or Kerouac? Steve McQueen or Matt Damon? Babyface or Bobby Brown?
Boston Harbor vs. the Downtown Canal. Fenway Park vs. Victory Field. Faneuil Hall Marketplace vs. City Market. OK, so when it comes to certain categories, Boston and Indianapolis just can't compare. (And how could they? Massachusetts' capital city was founded almost 200 years before Indiana's.) But in the areas that truly matter -- comfort food, he-man actors and notorious criminals -- Indy can certainly stand its ground. Before Naptown's Colts go head-to-head with Beantown's Patriots on Oct. 18, we assess the playing field.
1. Meat dish
Boston: Shepherd's Pie. Traditionally British dish -- made of cooked meat and veggies, topped with mashed potatoes and baked -- is a staple at Irish pubs across the city.
Indy: Tenderloin. Breaded, fried, served on a bun unworthy of its handsome girth, the pork tenderloin is such a Hoosier favorite, it even has its own "Tenderloin Trail" and PBS documentary.
2. Celebrity your youngster knows
Boston: Pop singer Meghan Trainor topped Billboard magazine's Hot 100 with 2014 single "All About that Bass."
Indy: Author John Green wrote the books "The Fault in Our Stars" and "Paper Towns," which became major motion pictures.
3. Worthwhile walk
Boston: Stops along Freedom Trail include Faneuil Hall, Old North Church, Bunker Hill Monument and site of the Boston Massacre.
Indy: Completed in 2013, the Indianapolis Cultural Trail connects Fountain Square, Mass Ave., Indiana Avenue and White River State Park.
4. Signature sculpture
Boston: The Boston Public Garden is home to "Make Way for Ducklings," a bronze sculpture that pays tribute to a 1941 children's book of the same name.
Indy: The Indianapolis Museum of Art is home to the original "LOVE" sculpture, made by Robert Indiana and known for its tilted "O."
5. Famous criminal
Boston: Boston Strangler. State mental health patient Albert DeSalvo confessed to sexually assaulting and murdering 11 to 13 women from 1962 to 1964, though investigators now believe several people were responsible for the killings.
Indy: John Dillinger. Public Enemy No. 1 eluded capture so many times that FBI director J. Edgar Hoover started to take it personally. The charismatic crook (played by Johnny Depp in 2009's "Public Enemies") committed a string of bank robberies across the country in the 1930s before being shot dead outside a Chicago theater.
6. Law-breaker in the news
Boston: The 2015 film "Black Mass," starring Johnny Depp, brought increased attention to Whitey Bulger, the incarcerated Boston crime boss/FBI informant who was found guilty of 11 murders, federal racketeering, extortion and conspiracy in 2013.
Indy: In August, former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle admitted to accusations that he had sex with minors and that he received and distributed sexually explicit images of children, some as young as 6 years of age.
7. Behind enemy lines
Boston: IndyCar will present the inaugural Grand Prix of Boston in 2016.
Indy: Indianapolis is home to three Boston Market restaurants.
8. He-Man Actor
Boston: Matt Damon. Cambridge, Mass., native flusters the CIA when portraying Jason Bourne.
Indy: Steve McQueen. Beech Grove native aggravated Nazis in "The Great Escape."
9. Sitcom of the past
Boston: "Cheers" (1982-93). A group of intellectual, pseudo-intellectual and slow-witted boozers gathered weekly to trade bon mots and insults. Made Woody Harrelson famous.
Indy: "One Day at a Time" (1975-84). A divorced mom and her two teenage daughters rode feminism's second wave in an Indy apartment complex. Made Valerie Bertinelli famous.
10. Retired talk-show host
Boston: Jay Leno. The former "Tonight Show" host worked in nightclubs while attending Emerson College and attained stardom by goofing on newspaper errors.
Indy: David Letterman. The former "Late Night" and "Late Show" host bagged groceries at bygone Atlas supermarket and attained stardom 10 quips at a time.
11. "Star Wars" connection
Boston: Natalie Portman, who portrayed Padme Amidala in three "Star Wars" movies, earned a psychology degree from Harvard University.
Indy: Adam Driver, who portrays Kylo Ren in the upcoming "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," attended the University of Indianapolis for one year. Also: Jake Lloyd, who portrayed 9-year-old Anakin Skywalker in 1999's "Episode I: The Phantom Menace" film, graduated from Carmel High School.
12. Food-related mass casualty incident
Boston: On Jan. 15, 1919, 21 people died and 150 were injured when a large molasses storage tank burst, flooding the North End neighborhood with a rushing wave of molasses that was moving through the streets at 35 mph.
Indy: On Oct. 31, 1963, 74 people died and 400 people were injured at the State Fairgrounds Coliseum when propane -- used to keep pre-popped popcorn warm -- leaked from a faulty valve, causing an explosion at the Holiday on Ice show.
13. Iconic author
Boston: Jack Kerouac (1922-1969). Beat Generation pioneer, "On the Road" author.
Indy: Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007). Novelist, humanist, author of "Slaughterhouse-Five."
14. Reality-TV champ
Boston: In 2011, construction worker "Boston Rob" Mariano took the $1 million prize for winning "Survivor: Redemption Island."
Indy: In 2014, Indianapolis-based singer-songwriter Josh Kaufman took the $100,000 prize for winning the sixth season of "The Voice."
15. R&B star for the grown and sexy
Boston: After recording hits with teen group New Edition, Bobby Brown found solo success thanks to signature tunes "Don't Be Cruel," "My Prerogative" and "Every Little Step."
Indy: Ten-time Grammy Award winner Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds has worked on more than 100 hit songs as a singer, songwriter or producer. The North Central High School grad's songwriting credits include Boyz II Men’s "End of the Road," which spent a record-breaking 13 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard magazine’s Hot 100 chart in 1992.
16. Sports switcheroo
Boston: Celtics coach Brad Stevens grew up in Zionsville, attended DePauw University and coached Butler University to two consecutive runner-up results in the NCAA men's basketball tournament.
Indy: Colts quarterback Matt Hasselbeck grew up in suburban Boston and played football at Boston College.
17. Larry Legend
Boston: Larry Bird won three NBA championships for the Celtics.
Indy: Larry Bird reached the NBA Finals as coach of the Pacers.
18. Hockey star
Boston: Bobby Orr was the Bruins' great defenseman and a two-time Stanley Cup champion. Against Wayne Gretzky, he might have held The Great One to two goals and an assist in any given game.
Indy: Broad Ripple High School and the Indianapolis Racers were instrumental in making Wayne Gretzky the best offensive weapon in hockey history. Without spending 1978 in Indianapolis, Gretzky merely would have been "The Very, Very, Very Good One."
19. Hoops hero
Boston: Bill Russell won 11 NBA championships with the Celtics, but it can be argued that Wilt Chamberlain was a better center during the 1960s.
Indy: Oscar Robertson led Crispus Attucks High School to a pair of Indiana state championships in the mid-1950s. As an NBA player, the Big O became the only player in history to average a triple-double for an entire season: 30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds and 11.4 assists across the 1961-62 campaign.
20. Enduring soundbite
Boston: "There's a steal by Bird!" -- Johnny Most's raspy call of Bird's swipe and feed to Dennis Johnson for a playoff game-winner stirs the soul.
Indy: "Ah -- playoffs? Don't talk about -- playoffs? You kidding me? Playoffs? I just hope we can win a game!" -- Former Colts coach Jim Mora delivered comedic gold in this post-game rant.

House Select Committee Chair Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., released the very subpoena Hillary Clinton just claimed in an interview with CNN she had never received. The release comes shortly after Clinton gave her first nationally televised interview with CNN, during which she claimed she “never had a subpoena” for emails she took upon herself to delete.
“Here’s the subpoena Hillary Clinton told @CNN she ‘never had.’ It’s dated 3/4/15.” Gowdy wrote in a tweet Thursday, which is viewable below. Here’s a closer look and, as Chairman Gowdy pointed out, it’s in fact dated.
Chairman Gowdy said he had “no choice” but to make the subpoena public “in order to correct the inaccuracy” of Clinton’s claim.
“Everything I did was permitted by law and regulation,” Clinton said.
Gowdy said the committee issued the March 4 subpoena to Clinton personally after learning the full extent of her use of private emails while serving as secretary of state.
“Secretary Clinton had a statutory duty to preserve records from her entire time in office, and she had a legal duty to cooperate with and tell the truth to congressional investigators requesting her records going back to September of 2012,” Gowdy said in a statement, regardless of whether a subpoena was issued.

Last month, I mentioned that there are three categories of items that the sanitation and public works crews look for on collection days: regular household waste, yard debris, and recyclable material.
We focused on regular household waste and the dos and don’ts behind it to make sure your trash gets collected in a timely manner.
This month I want to offer some tips about yard debris and recycling.
First, in case you don’t know, glass is no longer collected as a recyclable material. Unfortunately, we had to give that up a couple of years ago. We didn’t want to, but our recycler closed, and it was no longer cost-effective to keep collecting glass. In fact, it would have cost taxpayers to collect it if we continued because of the distance we would have to contract with someone to take it. There are still a lot of materials we collect for recycling, though, and unlike many cities, you don’t have to separate items before placing them at the curb for pickup. Just put them all in your blue recycling roll cart or collection bin, and the recycling fairy will take it all away.
When it comes to recycling, the city collects:
• Aluminum beverage cans, aluminum foil, and aluminum pie pans rinsed and clean of food,
• Dry newspaper, inserts, brown paper bags,
• Magazines, catalogs, mailers, telephone books,
• Junk mail (including envelopes with windows),
• Copy paper, notebook paper, and computer paper (continuous form, perforated paper),
• Plastic bottles and jugs with a neck and marked with a chasing arrow and a #1 – #7 on the bottom (e.g. milk jugs, water jugs, detergent bottles, beverage bottles, etc.)
• Food and beverage steel “tin” cans (including empty aerosol cans – all sizes),
• Cardboard (e.g. moving boxes, appliance boxes, etc.), and
• Paperboard (e.g. cereal boxes, shoe boxes, beverage boxes that have been broken down)
So, even though we don’t collect glass anymore, there’s still a lot that we do collect for recycling.
What about yard debris? I get a lot of questions about this.
The basic rules are:
• All items must be placed curbside.
• Grass and small hedge trimmings must be bagged, tied closed, and placed on the street.
• Loose leaves may be placed at the curb or edge of street to be vacuumed.
• Catch basins, inlets, and gutters should be kept free of leaves and debris.
• Limited amounts of tree limbs and bush trimmings (4 cubic ft.) will be collected by the city. Materials shall be piled as neatly as possible. Limbs are to be no larger than 6 feet in length and 6 inches in diameter.
• Loose yard debris should not be placed in trash containers. Trash receptacles containing loose yard debris will not be emptied.
• Yard debris should not be co-mingled. Please place leaves in a pile separate from limbs.
• Please keep all curbside piles away from catch basins to prevent storm drain clogging.
There are some yard debris items that are not collectable. Soil, sod, and other excavated material will not be removed, and yard waste produced and collected by contractors who work for city residents must be disposed of by the contractor.
I said it last month, and I’ll say it again. If you ever wonder about what will and won’t be picked up by the city, call Mauldin’s Department of Public Works at (864) 289-8904. They’ll answer any questions you have.
