News and entertainment that's been going on as of late

I know that I haven't written in a while and posted on my blog, however that was only in due to the fact that I was currently working on my transcibing the note book that I had written when it came to the book that I'm currently working on, and so it kinda left no room to be able to post to my blog that I should've been doing in the first place. I mean here I am, constantly watching the news and checking out the different things that are going on around me, and yet for the life of me I couldn't honestly think of anything to write for the blog that I know anyone would read and hopefully comment about in the first place.
 
However like I said, I have been keeping an eye on the news, and several things popped up, from the father shooting his daughters laptop, to the ex-teacher dating his former student (for which has gotten an update yesterday), to the local of the SPCA ending their contracts with Fresno County. On the entertainment side I've just been doing a lot of reading, and believe me the books that I've been reading have been well worth the read in the first place, from a Wheel of Time book to a Terry Goodkind book, and both have been great.
 
Now when it comes to the news, I know that the father shooting his daughters laptop is a bit of old news, but from what I had seen (namely since he had posted the video and it had been on the news, since I couldn't find it on YouTube at all which actually surprised the heck out of me when I couldn't find it.) I do honestly believe that the father did go a bit over board when it came to shooting the laptop in the first place, yes I understand that he had been driven to that extreme measure, but come on that right there might not have an impact now, but I know that later on in her life that will have an impact since her mind is shutting that off for what happened. I also know that she even weighed in on everything that happened between her and her father. Of course the videos were directed towards the daughter, but that's going to be a bit hard if the daughter doesn't have her laptop to view the videos that he happens to be making in the first place. Though if they happen to have a family computer, that might be a bit different right there.
 
Now as for the later one of the Ex-Teacher now dating a former student (who is actually still going to school), that is something that's not going to be going away any time soon. After all the girl (who is 18 right now) has now moved in with her teacher, and the mother is trying to make it into a felony for what's going on between the two of them. However here's the kicker that so far hasn't been said (and if it has been said, I missed it by mistake), and that's when it comes to the text messages that were sent from the girl to the teacher in the first place. So far that I know of, none of those texts that she sent that were love text were from before she had turned 18, and if that happens to be the case, then the mother's case will not hold up in court. After all the only way that the mother's case will hold at all is if any of those text were sent from before she turned 18, and so far that everyone knows, none of them were. No one really knows what's going on aside from the limited amount of information that's been coming out of the news on this, but it is something to wonder about when it comes to the mother, since she's the one that's trying to prevent them from having the relationship that they now have. Of course the one thing that hasn't been mentioned at all, is the impact from the Ex-Teachers family that is happening. After all it's not just the girl and her mother that's being effected by all of this, it's also his family, who have actually remained quite during all of this. I guess that we're just going to have to wait and fully see what happens.
 
The last bit of news comes today as the local Fresno SPCA ends it's contracts with Fresno on the animal control side of everything, and now people are wondering what's going to happen when they're needed. Now I'm not fully up to date on all of the information that was being talked about, but from what I understand the reason they ended the contracts in the first place was because of some of the complaints that had been lodged over different things, from the care of the animals to the way they were being put down in some cases. Like I said I don't have all of the information, but one has to honestly wonder what in the world is going to happen here in Fresno now that that has happened.
 
The entertainment side of everything deals actually with two books that I had/have been reading, one of them was from the Robert Jorden series, The Wheel of Time, and the other is by Terry Goodkind and is a slight sequel to the Sword of Truth series that he wrote. Now when it comes to the Wheel of Time series, that book series is actually going to be ending coming up this January 8, 2013, with the last book being called Memories of Twilight. I just got that date yesterday when I looked up the fan site dragonmount (http://www.dragonmount.com/) on Google. There is a huge following for the book series, but I'm thinking that the series should be turned into a movie or television series. After all the books would be good and due for it too.
 
Now the last book that I'm actually currently reading right now is call "The Law of Nines" by Terry Goodkind and is actually a sequel slightly to the Sword of Truth series that he had written that was actually really good. "The Law of Nines" takes place in our world, saying that this world is the world that Richard created at the end of the book "Confessor", basically a world with out magic (which is what our world happens to be in the first place). However the two characters in the book of Alexander Rahl and Jax are trying to keep each other alive as they work to save Jax's world from the possible distruction that could possible happen if they can't stop it. Right now I'm a little over half way through the book and honestly I'm having a hard time putting this book down at times. Of course I still have yet to read the book that Terry Goodkind wrote after this one here called "The Omen Machine" which happens to be a Richard and Kahlen book for those that happen to have read the Sword of Turth series. Check them both out and see for your self how good each of them happens to be.
