If you set the client's session fee incorrectly or you decide to change the fee for your client, you may need to delete and recreate invoices for these sessions.
For example: let's say you have a session for $100 and create an invoice for the $100 session. The invoice will display $100 due for the session.
But what if you meant to charge the client $80 for this session? If you edit the session fee and change it to $80, the invoice won't automatically change to $100.
The system thinks you are making an adjustment so it creates an adjustment invoice with a $20 credit. This way, the system will reflect that the client only owes $80. These additional invoices can be confusing if you didn't mean to bill that way.
How to Fix this
Let's walk through the correct steps, which will leave you with a cleaner billing page. For the session that isn't billed correctly you can choose one of two options:
Option 1. You are correcting the invoice because it shows the incorrect fee and you only intend to bill the client $80. **THIS IS MOST TYPICAL**
- In this case, you should delete the incorrect invoice. Head to the client's billing overview page, then click on the invoice listed next to the session in the session line.
- This will open the invoice, then click on the red Delete button in the top right corner.
- Next, hover over the session that you want to change. Click on Edit under the session fee.
- Edit the session fee (from $100 to $80). Click on Save.
- Then create a new invoice for the client. You can either click "uninvoiced" in the at-a-glance section or use the +Create button at the top of the page.
Option 2. You want to create an adjustment invoice and you don't want to delete the original invoice. In this case, you can edit the session fee and let the system create the adjustment invoice. You'll see two invoices for the session: An initial invoice and an adjustment invoice.
- In this case, you just want to edit the session fee. Head to the client's billing overview page, then hover over the session that you want to change. Click on Edit under the session fee.
- Edit the session fee. Click on Save.
- The system will automatically generate an adjustment invoice listed in the uninvoiced section of your at-a-glance. If you have invoices set to be created automatically, this adjustment invoice will be generated overnight. Otherwise, you can create it manually by clicking on "uninvoiced" in the at-a-glance section.
- You will then see the initial invoice and an adjustment invoice in line with the session.

Most naughty kids of my generation were put to bed by putting the fear of demons in them. This trick usually worked and was one of the favourites in the parenting book. But now, this trick has been rendered useless as a kid like me will stay up all night, just to catch a glimpse or even a sound of the Demon. Ladies and gentlemen, it is the fastest quarter-mile production car of the world, the most powerful V8 production car in the world, fastest production to reach 0-100kmph in the world, first ever front-wheel lift in production car, and produces the highest G-forces ever experienced in a production car. It's the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon.
Muscle cars over the years have tried to become performance cars, sports cars and even drift cars. But while doing all this, they had lost out the most important flavour which defines them - raw power and straight line acceleration. The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is built with just one aim: to obliterate any other production car in a 1/4 mile drag. As a result, the red demon shoots from 0-50kmph in 1.0 second, producing 1.8 g, 0-100kmph in 2.3seconds, and crosses the ¼-mile mark (400 metres) in a record-breaking 9.65 seconds while doing 225kmph.
The problem is, the SRT Demon did that so well that it got banned from the drag strip for being too fast. Yes! The NHRA (National Hot Road Association) of the USA has banned this car from its competitions as it is faster than their set bar for a production car. Also, to help you shame Ferraris and Lamborghinis on the streets, all customers who buy the new 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon will receive one full day session at Bob Bondurant School of High-Performance Driving. It even gets drag-spec radial tyres for you to launch ahead and leave behind even the Grim Reaper himself.
So, what makes the Challenger SRT Demon such a, well... demon on the drag strip? The answer is not as simple as you would expect it to be. To begin with, the car is powered by an 840PS, 6.2-litre HEMI Demon V8 engine which produces 1044Nm of mountain-moving torque. These figures, though make the Demon the most powerful production V8 in the world, are insignificant. Why you ask? Because of it's not how many horses the car packs, but how it puts it on the tarmac which matters. And this is where the Demon gets clever (geek talk alert).
The SRT Demon uses a TorqueFlite 8HP90 eight-speed automatic transmission with TransBrake. It locks the transmission output shaft to hold the car in place before a standing start. This lets the driver increase the engine rpm up to 2,350 without overpowering the brakes, resulting in quicker power delivery and up to 15 per cent more torque at launch. It also features a new Torque Reserve feature which becomes active once engine speed passes 950rpm. It does two things - closes the bypass valve, "prefilling" the supercharger with boost, and manages fuel flow to cylinders and spark advance to balance engine rpm and torque.
Now, all this produces a lot of heat. The supercharger gulps 2.7-litre of air per rev and this makes it very very hot. To keep the temperature of the engine under check while it reaches up to 6,500rpm, the SRT Demon has a liquid-to-air intercooler chiller system, which is first-ever for a production car.
The one thing which might upset some buyers is that the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, in its bid to lose weight, comes with just one seat. So, while you become the fastest man on the planet launching your car, your friends can only appreciate this from the outside. But if you insist on keeping them inside the car, Dodge will install the front and rear passenger seats for a price... which is $1. Other than the optional extra seats, the SRT Demon has all the bells and whistles which one can expect from a 21-century car. It has air conditioning and an 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen infotainment system on which you can track the supercharger coolant temperature and know in real time when the supercharger is at the optimum temperature before making another run.
But, and there is a but. All the above performance numbers and figures come with a catch, or rather in a crate. The Daemon only produces about 808PS of power and to get the extra 32PS, u need to purchase the Demon Crate. The crate brings with it components which fully unleash the car's potential at the drag strip and is fully customised with the buyer's name, VIN and serial number. It contains parts like a conical performance air filter, passenger mirror block-off plate, drag-specific narrow front-runner wheels and also a demon-branded tool bag with a foam case which fits into the SRT Demon trunk.
So, if you live a locality where the sportscars and supercars reside, and you want to mess their day up by showing who's the boss of street light drags, get the Demon. One thing is for sure though, it's not for the faint of heart.
Mom, looks like I am in love with a demon!

2006 Macmillan Literary Nite @ Muson Centre, Lagos
From The News (article by Blessing Ogunli)
Come Thursday, 30 November, the annual Macmillan literary night, would take place at the Shell Hall, MUSON Centre, Onikan, Lagos, at 6 p.m. The event, which will bring literary lovers and enthusiasts and with theme: Nigeria writing: New works, is organised by foremost publishing house, Macmillan Publishing Nigeria Limited.
Speaking at a media briefing, Professor A.B. Fafunwa, vice chairman, Macmillan and Chairman, Literary Committee, stated that this year's edition will take a critical look at the works of the new generation of Nigerian writers—prose, drama and poverty—with a view to understanding what they write about and at the same time to promote their works.
"The night would afford us the opportunity to look at the issues that today's writers are writing about in relation to the society. Is there any similarly between what the male and female writers write? Or are they concerned with different issues? Who is writing poetry? Who is writing prose?" he asked rhetorically.
The former Education minister, however, added that though it will be impossible to cover all the writers in order to give definite answers to the questions posed above, it is hoped that the programme of the evening will give the audience an idea of what they write about and also help them to draw out their own conclusion.
This year's edition, which is the fifth in the series, will also witness the presentation of Macmillan UK award for the most promising writer for children to Nigeria's Ngozi Ifeanyinwa Rasak Shoyebi, whose work, The house that Kodjo built, came tops in the children category.
Furthermore, the night will not only be about works alone as the Crown Troupe and Nephetic Group will also be around to thrill the audience with songs and dance drama, which will leave everyone with a message of hope for a better Nigeria.
From The Guardian (article by Gregory Austin Nwakunor)
...Prof. Fafunwa, who is also, vice chairman of the board of Macmillan, posed a rhetoric, which captures the thrust of the event. "The new writers of prose, drama, poetry - who are they? What issues are they concerned with? Is there any similarity between male and female writers? Or are they concerned with different issues? Who is writing poetry? Who is writing prose?"
Even as answers to his questions would be difficult, he reasoned that the 2006 edition of the literary night would provide ample feedback to the puzzles. It would "be impossible to give definite answers," he acknowledged. But "the programme of the evening will give us an idea and may be, answer some of these questions.
"Some of the new writers that come to mind are Toyin Adewale Gabriel, Lola Shoneyin, Ify Agwu, Ayeola Mabiaku, Eman Usman Shehu, Angela Nwosu, Ken Wiwa, Sefi Attah, Hope Eghagha, Chimamanda Adichie, Promise Ogochukwu, Nike Adesuyi, Uzodinma Iweala, Akin Adesokan, Remi Raji, Tolu Ogunlesi, Ogaga Ifowodo, among others," and the programme will include some of them...

Since my last post I have only managed a couple of short sessions due to one thing or another. I fished Willow Farm(above) chasing the reputed big Perch that reside there but I only managed a few smaller ones. I did see the biggest dragon fly I have seen, it was more like a small bird than an insect.
And I also went out chasing monster Trout at Lechlade fishery but again all I managed to catch was small Perch, a shoal of which went mental for a 'Barbie' pink lure.
My Perch mojo has deserted me again!

Watch two drunks together and you soon realize that they are talking at each other but not with each other. They ramble on about hockey or past sexual conquests. Answers from their drinking buddy are always in the form of grunts or perfect non-sequitors.
Sometimes they talk about coulda, woulda, shoulda and if only which is the maudlin drunk. But it nevers hones in on the fact that booze gets in the way of living a decent life. Sex is very important to spice up their dull-witted conversations and even in their late middle age they talk about the 'rack' on a girl in junior high school or that beautiful teacher who taught typing and slept with a few of the older students.
Drunks often beat their wives. She was small. He stood over six feet so their phycal fights were a mismatch. Often he started making a point with her by back handing her across the mouth. Blubbering through split and bleeding lips his she cursed him time and again. They revisit this scenario again and not long after the apologies and promises are made of no more drinking and abuse.
Men live lives of quiet desperation and their wives right along with them. What allows these women to tolerate constant abuse and get up the next day to go to some dead end job to pay the rent? Giving her husband a roof over his head and a spot to crash. Often he and his friends lay about drinking all day while the kids attend school.
How does this all relate to Charles Bukowski? I can apprciate his humor on one level but having witnessed what I guess was the Private Bukowski in all its squallor makes me think it was not pretty. Middle class would poets can get worshipful and they need the counter point.

New Blu Ray/Limited Edition SteelBook From Arrow Films! Welcome LifeForce To The Blog!14:56:00
Hello My Lovely's,
I received this in my Inbox the other day but was unable to blog about it due to my arm and then my friend had her birthday party last night and I had to go help make crazy chips, so huge apologises on my behalf.
When I was at the event for 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire', the other week, I spoke to a man who at the time worked for Think Jam. He has now moved to a new company called Arrow Films, who work on many features, including the one I am going to tell you about now.
Arrow Videos are pleased, to announce the release of Tobe Hooper's cult sci-fi classic, 'LifeForce' to Blu Ray and Steelbook. The restored classic will be available to buy from the 30th of September making it the first time the film has been available on this format in the UK.
Not only is this the films first Blu Ray release but the disc comes packed full of extra features and a restoration of the film which was overlooked by the director himself.
Originally released in 1986, just after his fantastic film 'Poltergeist', Hooper became famed for horrors, including the 1974 classic ' The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'. A film that stills leaves a chill down its audience's spine. He was always known as the director who pushed the boundaries which was the reason behind his horror/sci-fi epic with a devoted cult following, 'Lifeforce'!
The film is based on Colin Wilson's novel 'The Space Vampires' and focuses on a space shuttle crew who find a mysterious spacecraft. Inside their world is turned around when they discover it contains three human looking creatures, all of which in a state of suspended animation.
Bringing them back to Earth for further tests, the crew are shocked to find that the creatures are in fact a rare form of space Vampires, who feed off people's life force instead of blood. Chaos soon erupts when the creatures escape and run wild in London, causing apocalyptic consequences.
Fans of the film will be excited to know that the theme of the plot runs throughout, including its packaging. The new editions come with a reversible disc which includes the original artwork of the film and a stunning new illustration.
Now to let you know about the discs special features which include...
- Limited Edition SteelBook Packaging.
- High Definition Presentation.
- International and Theatrical Versions.
- Optional uncompressed 2.0 Stereo PCM and 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio Surround Sound.
- Isolated Music and Effects Soundtrack.
- English Subtitles.
- Region B.
- Audio commentary with Tobe Hooper, Tim Sullivan, Douglas Smith, Howard S. Berger, Nick Maley and Michael Felsher.
- Space Vampires in London: An interview with Tobe Hooper.
- Dangerous Beauty: An interview with Mathilda May, Lifeforce's iconic star.
- Carlsen's Curse: Star Steve Railsback looks back on Lifeforce and his career.
- Original Theatrical Trailers.
- Collector's booklet: Featuring new writing on the film, interviews and illustrated with original archive stills and poster.
- Cannon Fodder: The Making of Lifeforce.
I don't know a lot about this film but I can tell that it is a cult classic for many of you and that why I wanted to share all this new information I was sent. I hope I did you guys proud promoting it aha as I wasn't entirely sure about it.

While walking the fields at Loop Head this afternoon I came upon this juvenile Buff-breasted Sandpiper in the plover fields on the north side of the peninsula. The bird arrived into the field while I was checking it and was very wary. I managed to get a few long distant record shots before the bird took off and flew inland and eastwards.

We are beginning to wonder if there is some bad karma regarding our new apartment. We love it, but there are several things that have happened during the last week that make it seem as if we are having a string of bad luck.
The first bad thing to happen was when we were checking out the apartment with the owner, Narci, last Friday. Narci was in Chicago for a couple of days (she lives in California). She took the time to show us the roof deck to explain which areas were private and which were common property. It had just started to drizzle, so we made our way downstairs – several flights of wooden stairs back to the apartment's back door. Paul was carrying Luc and I was following, carrying Nic. I heard a terrible thud thud, only to find Paul lying on his back on the stairs and Luc heading down the stairs on his back, head-first. Luc was OK, but Paul suffered some awful grazes on his elbows and wrist and a huge amount of bruising on his bottom (as was apparent a few days later). Suffice to say, he was not happy.
The next thing to happen was when we began to move in on Saturday. We were just about to leave to pick up some furniture when we heard a loud sound of gushing water. Our first thought was that it was coming from the apartment above, only to find that it was the overflow on the hot water system in our apartment. We got in touch with the real estate agent, and then Narci. We turned the system off and Narci arranged for a handyman to come and have a look at it on Monday. The system had been turned up very high and had therefore overheated. It looked as though the thermostat had broken as there was not enough hot water when turned on to a low heat. Narci agreed to have a new and larger system to be installed (hopefully this coming Monday). After moving in Sunday we had found another couple of items to be fixed including a fixed plug / stopper in the boy's bathroom that wouldn't seal (and therefore would leak water and not allow the bath to fill), the intercom system that wouldn't allow us to talk to or hear visitors at the front door, a fridge door that swung open (but not closed), a back door that would stick, a lifting carpet strip and a couple of 'proud' nails jutting out of the hardwood floors. A visit from a handyman was arranged and these items have now all been rectified.
We had noticed a gas smell when we first visited the apartment. This smell seemed to be in the living area and we noticed that it appeared to come and go. I spoke to a couple of people about this, and it was recommended that I call the gas supplier to come and have a look (and smell) to see if there was a leak – particularly important as Nic is lying on the floor for the majority of his wake time. I rang Peoples Energy on Friday and was told that an inspector would be around within the hour. The inspectors arrived and used a Geiger-counter type of device to check for leaks. The stove was OK but gas was detected near the gas-log fire place. The inspectors then told me that they were going to shut down the gas, and lock the meter. The gas would be turned back on once we had the leak found and fixed. I rang Narci and a number of Narci's contacts in Chicago to find out how we would possibly arrange for a gas plumber to come out on a Friday afternoon (not an easy task anywhere!). Gas is kind of important in this place as it runs the hot water, cooking and the heating. The thought of losing any of these services was horrifying to say the least – given that temperatures are dropping to -1°C overnight, and we have young children that need to be bathed (not to mention ourselves!). Narci rang to tell us she would put us up in a hotel until the problem was fixed! We felt so guilty that all these problems seemed to be occurring since we took possession of the place, and were beginning to wonder if we were jinxed (Narci admitted that she wondering the same). We decided we could survive for the short term in the apartment, hoping the problems might be resolved quickly.
We had a plumber come around on Friday night. He took one look at the granite hearth, timber floorboards and timber mouldings and mantle surrounding the fireplace, and said a carpenter would need to be called to rip up the floorboards / hearth / wall, before he could get to work. One of Narci's friends, Chad, believed there must be a simpler solution to reaching the gas line and so came around this morning to dismantle the fireplace. Upon doing this, it was discovered that the gas pipes actually run through the wall, and not under the floorboards. The plumber from last night wasn't able to make it today, but another plumber, Mike from Andy's Plumbing said he could make it after 7pm. He has two young children himself (one only 2 weeks old) and I think he felt a little sorry for us. It is now 9pm and Mike is just about to test the system to find out where the leak might be. Fingers crossed!

Day 4196 Of Parenthood- Continued
I just could not resist telling you about our volunteering experience.
I must first add that my hubby is a walking atlas, so imagine my surprise when 3 minutes before we were supposed to volunteer at Chuck E's my sweet dearest turned to me and said, "We are lost."
I must also mention we are going to Florida very very soon and needed this family friendly gig. 5 Disney tickets were on the line.
The very nice woman organizing the event assured us all was well; and I quote, "We'll take you for your hour once you get here." Phew, that was close.
Our "volunteer" jobs turned out to be playing games and eating pizza. Chuck E Cheese donated a percentage to the non-profit organization helping underprivileged kids. Definitely the easiest "helping" day my kids ever participated in. Disney, here we come!!
- My hubby wanted everyone to know the MAP was WRONG not him.

By BJ Bjornson
There goes the Vatican, trying to make itself relevant to the modern world once again. Their recently retired chief exorcist (as if the fact that the Vatican still has a chief exorcist these days doesn�t in itself tell you just how relevant the Vatican really is) has made news again recently by railing against some of society�s true evils.
Father Gabriele Amorth, who for years was the Vatican�s chief exorcist and claims to have cleansed hundreds of people of evil spirits, said yoga is Satanic because it leads to a worship of Hinduism and �all eastern religions are based on a false belief in reincarnation�.
Reading JK Rowling�s Harry Potter books is no less dangerous, said the 86-year-old priest, who is the honorary president for life of the International Association of Exorcists, which he founded in 1990, and whose favourite film is the 1973 horror classic, The Exorcist.
The Harry Potter books, which have sold millions of copies worldwide, �seem innocuous� but in fact encourage children to believe in black magic and wizardry, Father Amorth said.
It is important to note that this is not just the ranting of one old coot without influence in the church today. This is pretty much established doctrine.
His views may seem extreme, but in fact reflect previous warnings by Pope Benedict XVI, when as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger he was the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Vatican�s enforcer of doctrinal orthodoxy.
In 1999, six years before he succeeded John Paul II as Pope, he issued a document which warned Roman Catholics of the dangers of yoga, Zen, transcendental meditation and other 'eastern� practises.
There was something about this whole story that was nagging at me when I first read, and I�m indebted to Greta Christina for putting her finger on it.
Okay. Wait a minute. Let me get this straight.
The Harry Potter stories encourage people to believe in black magic and wizardry.
And exorcists don�t.
I think my brain just tried to escape my skull by gnawing its own foot off.
That last move sounds like it may require a rather impressive knowledge of yoga to accomplish. This whole story is clearly part of some cunning plan to destroy the church's opponent's.

V.B. Raju, J.
1. In a Land Acquisition Case a reference was made by the Collector to the District Court at Bhuj. The learned District Judge rejected the reference holding that it was barred by time and that that was not a valid reference. He, therefore, refused to hear the reference and hence this revision application. It is contended by-the learned counsel for the applicant that once a reference is made by a Collector under Section 19 of the Land Acquisition Act to the District Court, the District Court has no-jurisdiction to decide whether the reference is within limitation or whether the reference was in conformity with the provisions of Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act.
2. In support of this contention, the learned counsal for the applicant relies on Hari Krishan v. State of pepsu; , Venkateswaraswami v. Sub-Collector, Pezwada, AIR 1943 Mad 327, Secretary of State v. Bhag-wan Prasao : AIR1929All769 , and Secretary of State v. Bhagwan Prasad : AIR1932All597 . But the learned counsel for the opponent disputes this proposition and relied on Mahadeo Krishna v. Mamialdar of Alibag, ILR 1944 Bom 90 : (AIR 1944 Bom 200) G. J. Desai v. Abdul Mazid Kadri, 53 Bom LR 257: (AIR 1951 Bom 1561 and In the matter of Government and Nanu Kothare, ILR 30 Bom 275 (FB). To decide this point, it is necessary to refer to the relevant provisions of the Land Acquisition Act. Section 18 reads as follows:
Reference to Court:-- (1) Any person interested, who has not accepted the award may, by written application to the Collector, require that the matter be referred by the Collector for the determination of the Court, whether his objection be to the measurement of me land, the amount of the compensation, the persons to whom it is payable or the apportionment of the compensation among the persons Interested.
(2) The application shall state the grounds on which objection to the award is taken;
Provided that every such application shall be made:--
(a) If the person making it was present or re presented before the Collector at yhe time when he made his award within six weeks from the date of the Collector's award .
(b) in other cases, within six weeks of the receipt of the notice from the Collector under Section 12, Sub-section (2), or within six months from the date of the Collector's award, whichever period shall first expire.'
Section 19 of the Act reads as follows:
'Collector's statement to the Court.-- (1) In makingthe reference, the Collector shall state for the information of the Court, in writing under his hand-
(a) the situation and extent of the land, with parculars of any trees, buildings or standing crops thereon;
(b) the names of the persons who he has reason to think are interested in such land;
(c) the amount awarded for damages and paid or tendered under Sections 5 and 17, or either of them, and theamount of compensation awarded under Section 11; and
(d) if the objection be to the amount of the compensation, the grounds on which the amount of compensationwas determined.
2. To the said statement shall be attached a schedule giving the particulars of the notices served upon,and of the statements in writing made, or delivered by the parties interested respectively.'
Section 20 of the Act reads as follows:
'Service of notice.- The Court shall thereuponcause a notice specifying the day on which the court will proceed to determine the objection, and directing their appearance before the Court on that day, to he served on the following persons, namely-
(a) the applicant;
(b) all persons interested in the objection, except such (if any) of them as have consented without protest to receive payment of the compensation awarded; and
(c) if the objection is in regard to the area or the land or to the amount of compensation, the collector.'
3. Both the different points of view have been elaborately discussed in AIR 1958 Punj 430 and the weighty reasons given by Sir John Beaumont, Chief Justice, in ILR 1944 Bom 90 : (AIR 1944 Born 200) had also beenconsidered. I will not repeat the reasoning containedIn . But if we look at the scheme of the Act, it is clear that the Collector as an Administrative Officer makes a reference to the Court to decidecertain objections to the amount of compensation. Indeciding the objection itself, the Collector who has administratively passed an award makes a reference to the Judicial Court. In making a reference, he has only got to state the points mentioned in Section 19 of the Act. It is not necessary for him to set out whether a written application has been given to the Collector under Section 18or that the application that was given to him was made within six weeks from the date of the Collector's award or within six weeks of the receipt of the notice as stated in Section 18.
4. Even when it is held that the District Court has jurisdiction to determine whether the collector acted rightly in making a reference or not, the District court will have to call for materials to decide that point from the Collector. The District Court has no such powers to call, the Collector to furnish the materials outside the ambit of Section 19 of the Act.
5. Moreover, Section 20 of the Act is mandatory. Alter a reference is received, the Court has got to act as provided in Section 20. The Court has no option but to act under Section 20 after a reference has been received.
6. The District Court gets jurisdiction under Part IIIof the Act only upon a reference being made and by exercising such a jurisdiction, the Court cannot say that what gave it jurisdiction is itself Invalid, it is the reference made under Section 19 that gave jurisdiction to the District Court to proceed under part III. While exercising jurisdiction under Section 20 of the Act, the District Court cannot say that the reference which gives the District Court jurisdiction is itself invalid. It would be like a High Court Judge saying that the High Court Charter creating the High Court is itself invalid.
7. It is, however, necessary to consider the weighty reasons given in ILR 30 Bom 275 (FB) and ILR 1944 Bom 90 : (AIR 1944 Bom 200). In this Bombay case reference is made to Section 18 of the Act and it is observed that this section prescribes the conditions for the right of a reference by the Collector to come into existence. They are the conditions to which the power of the collector to make a reference is subject. It is also observed that they are also the conditions which must be fulfilled De-fore the Court can have jurisdiction to entertain the reference. The following observations were made in this Bombay case :
'Now, as was said by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in Nusserwanjee Pestonjee v. Meer Mynoo-deen Khan, (1865) 6 Mod Ind App 134 at p. 155 (PC)., 'wherever jurisdiction is given to a Court by an Act ot Parliament, or by a Regulation in India (which has the same effect as an Act of Parliament}, and such jurisdiction is only given upon certain specified terms contained in the Regulation itself. It is a universal principle that these terms must be complied with, in order to create and raise the jurisdiction, for If they be not complied with the jurisdiction does not arise.' The same case is also authority for the proposition that' the compliance need only be substantial so as to be 'intelligible and clear'.'
This proposition is indisputable, but the question here is as to the jurisdiction of the District Court and not as to the jurisdiction of the Collector. If certain conditions are prescribed which were conditions precedent before the District Court can exercise its powers under the Land Acquisition Act, then It is the duty of the District Court to see that the conditions precedent have been fulfilled. Section 20 of the Act provides that and a reference is made, the Court shall cause a notice specifying the day on which the Court will proceed to determine the objection etc.....What the court has todo is to construe Section 20 of the Act. The only condition mentioned in Section 20 of the Act is to be gathered from the word 'thereupon' and the word 'thereupon' has been interpreted with reference to Section 19 which precedes Section 20 in which the word 'thereupon' has been used, me effect of Section 20 is that upon a reference being made, the District Court shall exercise its powers as specified in Section 20. The only condition precedent, therefore, to the District Court exercising its powers is the fact that a reference is made. This is the only condition precedent. It would not be correct to speak of the conditions mentioned in Section 18 as amounting to conditions precedent to the District Court exercising its powers. The conditions mentioned in Section 18 are conditions precedent to the Collector exercising his powers of making a reference. They are not conditions precedent to the exercise of the District Court of its powers. If this distinction is borne in mind, the conclusion must be arrived at, namely, that the District Court can only see whether a reference has been made or not.
8. In ILR 1944 Bom 90 : (AIR 1944 Bom 200) the question was considered. That case is distinguishable on facts because the Collector himself had requested the District Court to decide the question whether the application for a reference was within time or not. As the Collector himself did not decide the point and leftit to the decision of the District Court, the District Court had to decide this question and the question whether the District Court had power to decide the point of limitation or not had not, therefore, clearly arisen for decision. However, the learned Judges of the Bombay High Court made the following observations on the point:
'There has been a conflict of opinion in the High Courts in India on' that question. In In re. Land Acquisition Act, ILR 30 Bom 275, Mr. Justice Chandavarkar held that the Court was bound to go into the question wither the reference under Section 18 was in time. He held that the Court was not only entitled, but bound, to satisfy itself that the conditions laid down in Section 18 had been complied with. The principle acted upon in that case was followed by a bench of the Allahabad Hign Court in Sukhbir Singh v. Secretary of State : AIR1926All766 . In that case the collector had made a reference, although theie was no application before him such as is required by Section 18, and the Court held that that being so, there was no valid reference, But in a later case, which came before another bench or the Allahabad Nigh Court : AIR1929All769 , the Court held that it was not open to the District Court under Section 18 to go behind the reference, tnat it was for the Collector to decide whether the conditions justifying a reference had been complied with, and if he thought that they had been, the Court was bound to accept that conclusion. That view has found favour witn a single Judge in the Madras High Court in AIR 1943 Mad 327.
There being a conflict in the High Courts, it is desirable to consider the matter afresh. Section 18(1) provides that any person interested who has not accepted the award may, by written application to the collector, require that the matter be referred by the Collector for the determination of the Court, whether his objection be to the measurement of the land, the amount of the compensation, the person to whom it is payable, or the apportionment of the compensation among the persons interested. Then Sub-section (2) provides that the application shall state the grounds on which objection to the award is taken. Then there Is a proviso that every such application shall be made within the time specified. Then Section 13 provides the information which the reference is to contain. Section 20 provides that the Court shall thereupon cause a notice specifying the day on which the Court will proceed to determine the objection to be served, amongst others, on the applicant.
The basis of the appellant's argument is that the Collector, acting under Section 18, is not a Court, or at any rate not a Court subordinate to the District Court or to this Court, and that the Court cannot interfere with his decision either in appeal or in revision. That, no doubt is true but that is not really the position. The Collector has power to make a reference on certain specified conditions. The first condition is that there shall be a written application by a person interested who has not accepted the award, the second condition is as to the nature of the objections which may be taken, and the third condition is as to the time within which the application shall be made. It seems to me that the court is bound to satisfy itself that the reference made by the Collector complies with the specified conditions, so as to give the Court jurisdiction to hear the reference. It is rot a question of the Court sitting in appeal or revision on the decision of the Collector; it is a question af the Court satisfying itself that the reference madeunder the Act is one which it is required to hear, it the reference does not comply with the terms of the Act, then the Court cannot entertain it. I have myself same difficulty in seeing on what principle the court is to be debarred from satisfying itself that the reference, which it is called upon to hear, is a valid reference. I am in entire agreement with the view expressed by Mr. Justice Chandavarkar that it is the duty of the Court to see that the statutory conditions have been compile a with.'
9. As already observed above, the District wart gets jurisdiction under S, 20 of the Act only upon a reference being made by the Collector under Section 19. While exercising its jurisdiction under Section 20 of the Act, the District Court cannot go into the question whether the reference made under Section 19 of the Act which along gives the District Court jurisdiction was itself valid or not. As already observed, it will be like a High Court Judge exercising jurisdiction over the High Court Charter to hold that the High Court Charter is itself invalid.
10. It is of course open to Courts of law to decide about the validity or invalidity of certain matters; but the Court cannot decide the validity of that which gives it jurisdiction.
11. The District Court can consider the question ct validity or Invalidity of the reference' made by the Collector if the District Court is exercising its ordinary jurisdiction apart from the reference made, [t is also open to a Court hearing an application or suit and under Section 45, Specific Relief Act, if applicable, to decide whether a reference was wrongly refused or was wrongly made. It would also be open to the High Court exercising its powers under the Constitution to decide whether the Collector wrongly refused to make a reference or wrongly made a reference. The Civil Court exercising its original jurisdiction may, if called upon to do so and if that question is necessary to be determined, decide the question whether the reference was validly made or not. But a Court which exercises its jurisdiction only upon a reference being made cannot decide that the reference is not validly made. Moreover part III of the Act enumerates the points which the District Court acting under part III of the Act can decide. The District Court exercising its jurisdiction under part III cannot decide any point not enumerated in part III of the Act. With great respect therefore, I find it very difficult, inspite of my best efforts to do so, to agree with the view taken in ILR 30 Born 275 and ILR 1944 Bom 90: (AIR 1944 Bom 200). The learned counsel for the opponent contended that the rule contained in ILR 1944 Bom 90: (AIR 1944 Bom 200) is binding upon this Court. I have already given lengthy reasons in my judgment in Mangalbhai Revabhai v. Kalyanpuri, Civil Revn. Appln. No. 1122 of 1960 (Guj). -- In my humble view no judgment except that of the Supreme Court is binding on High Court Judges.
12. Further, as I have already pointed out above, ILR 1944 Bom 90; (AIR 1944 Bom 200) is distinguish on facts. There the Collector himself had asked the District Court to decide the question of limitation, me observations in this case are obiter but an the same are entitled to the most profound respect and consideration which I have given to them. The case reported in ILR 30 Bom 275 was one from the Original Side and there is no Original Side in the Gujarat High court.
13. The District Court had, therefore, no right to hold that the reference was out of time. The order madeby the learned District Judge, is, therefore, set aside and he is directed to hear the reference in the manner provided in part III of the Act. In view of this conclusion reached, it is not necessary to decide whether an oral notice is sufficient or whether a written notice is necessary and, in my view, for the reasons already given, that point cannot be decided by me in a revision application filed against the order of the District Court, whether I can decide such a point in a revision application filed upon the order of Collector need not be decided now.
14. The application is allowed with costs.

Ever since birth, Hunter has been scared of his swing. Each week I would put him in there to "test it out," just in case he would magically like it. Well, today, at week 13, Hunter is asleep in his swing and it is actually moving! No tears, no cringes, no clentching of the fists- just peaceful slumber. Might I also mention that he was practically asleep when I put him in there. He did wake up, check out his surroundings, and decide that he didn't mind sleeping in the swing as it rocked him softly back and forth. As a matter of fact, he has been asleep for about 2 hours by now. I really need to make some cookies for a dinner tonight, but he is sleeping so peacefully that I don't want to wake him up.

It's got to be the owls that scared him. Haven't you ever seen The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock? But I'm glad that he's finally liking it. The swing was a lifesaver for me in getting dinner ready for a period of time. Carston has outgrown it, so enjoy it while it works!

My graduation from college is less than a week away. And I'm already thinking about my summer reading challenge for the year. (Are you surprised?? I'm an English major who is going to be working in a library!) So, that being said, it's time to start thinking about what I want my summer reading theme to be. And also, how to establish the boundaries of what summer is for me (since I won't be going back to school for a little while).
To start: summer boundaries. For summer 2013, summer starts after I graduate and will end with my brother returning to college in the fall (which is basically where my summer would end if I was going back as well.) I'm going to hopefully start a graduate program in the spring. So, Summer 2014 will be bookended by my graduate classes. For now, that's all the summer I'm going to try and figure out.
And right now, my biggest question is what my reading theme will be for the summer. Here are a few of my ideas. Please feel free to tell me what you think of these/add your own. Since I've started this blog, I've had three summers worth of reading themes. Just to refresh your memory, they were:
2010: Gothic Novels
2011: Scary Stories/Mythical Monsters
2012: A Summer in Middle Earth
2013: ????
2011: Scary Stories/Mythical Monsters
2012: A Summer in Middle Earth
2013: ????
And here are some possible themes for this summer:
Summer at Sea: Maritime novels and stories (ie. Moby Dick, Treasure Island, Typee)
Summer School: All those books I didn't read for class after all... (Lolita, The Sound and the Fury, Bleak House)
Summer of Psychos: Watching horror movies and reading the books which inspired them (The Exorcist, Psycho, The Shining)
A One-Author Summer: Choose to focus theme on the writings of just one person (John Steinbeck, Ernest Hemingway, Jeanette Winterson)
So! Just let me know which of these themes you like (or if you have another awesome one, please suggest it! When you give me a theme, try to include a few book titles as well, so I have an idea of what sort of reading this would be! I'll be posting a poll in the sidebar, and will announce my theme a week from today!)
Looking forward to hearing from you :)

Posted on 04/01/2007 6:03:54 AM PDT by kellynla
Pope Benedict XVI opened the Roman Catholic Church's most solemn week by urging young people during his Palm Sunday Mass to live pure, innocent lives.
This year, Holy Week also includes the second anniversary of the April 2, 2005 death of Pope John Paul II. On Monday, the Catholic Church will close one phase of its investigation into John Paul's saintliness as it keeps up the momentum to have the beloved pope beatified.
Holding an intricately woven palm frond, Benedict opened the Palm Sunday celebration by processing through the sun-filled St. Peter's Square and up the steps of the basilica. He was preceded by dozens of priests, bishops and cardinals who clutched palms and olive branches as their red vestments fluttered in the breeze.
Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalem, and is the start of the church's Holy Week, which includes the Good Friday re-enactment of Christ's crucifixion and death and his resurrection on Easter Sunday.
Benedict continued the tradition started by John Paul and dedicated Palm Sunday to the young, who were out in force in St. Peter's.
He told them that to follow God they should have "innocent hands and pure hearts."
"Innocent hands are hands that are not used for acts of violence," he told them. "They are hands that are not sullied by corruption and bribes."
Hearts are pure when they are not "stained by lies and hypocrisy," he said. "A heart is pure when it is estranged from the intoxication of pleasure; a heart for whom love is true and not just the passion of a moment," he said.
Benedict has an unusually busy schedule this week: In addition to the traditional Holy Week ceremonies, he will preside over a Mass on Monday afternoon in honor of John Paul

I said I was gonna do a Game's recap, and by George (hahaha get it?) I'm actually gonna do it. With commentary on which outfit was the most fabulous, of course. But first off, here's what happened:
The show opens with a squad of Night's Watch passing through The Wall into the appropriately named Wilds, on a mission to track a group of Wildings that were passing too close to the Watch's domain. But of course, if that's all that they found, that would be boring, so instead this merry band of misfits (led by an appropriately douchey nobleman) finds the Wildings dead, seemingly ceremoniously dismembered. And then on top of THAT, they come back to life, and tear the rangers limb from limb. Except for one terrified boy, who forsakes his duty and runs for the hills instead of returning to Castle Black to warn the rest of his brothers in arms.
However, in doing so he signs his own death warrant, for as his commander explains before they all get torn apart is that a brother of the Night's Watch can't leave The Wall, and if he deserts, all that is left for him in the south is death. This is exactly what happens to this boy when he is caught by the men of the warden of the North, Lord Eddard Stark (Sean Bean). We are introduced to the rest of his family as well: wife Catelyn, the five trueborn Stark children (Robb, Sansa, Arya, Bran, and Rickon), and his bastard, Jon Snow. Considering the breadth and depth of Martin's novels, the show has relatively little time to introduce people. But time is definitely not wasted on this show, and I think one of the good things it has done so far is managed to introduce the characters without actually TELLING us outright who they are in very little time. The Stark children are introduced in about 5 minutes, and it's fairly apparent what each child's role is in that family in those short five minutes. Arya is the tomboy and mischief maker, Bran is the aspiring warrior, Sansa is the lady, and Robb and Jon are the supportive older brothers (but not so supportive they don't make fun of their siblings, because honestly, that is the one other thing older brothers are for, no?). Although the look Lady Catelyn shoots at Jon at the end of the scene makes it very obvious how much she enjoys having him there.
Lord Stark, being the honourable man he is, beheads the deserter himself, and takes his three eldest sons along with him. We learn that in the North the lord himself always carries out the executions, for they prescribe to the Old Ways that have largely been forgotten in the South. The deserter tells Ned about the "White Walkers" that he saw before he ran away, and is little more than a babbling idiot at this point. Ned tries to shrug it off, saying that these creatures have been gone for thousands of years, but it's pretty obvious he's more worried than he's acting. However, he doesn't have long to ruminate on this before he receives more bad news: Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King (basically the King's right hand man and most trusted advisor), has died suddenly, and King Robert and much of his court are on the way north to Winterfell. Both Ned and Catelyn immediately see that the king is coming North to ask Ned to be Hand, and neither seem particularly happy about it, but hosting a king is no small feat, and preparations take precedence. Oh! And the Stark children find their direwolves, sigil of their House, a creature of myth that also hasn't been seen below the Wall in millennia. I'm not sure that direwolves are supposed to be that adorable, but they made me squeal every time I saw them and their cuteness. There is even a runt for Jon Snow.
So, direwolves found and grudgingly allowed to live by Ned, the King finally arrives at Winterfell, and we are more thoroughly introduced to his family: Queen Cersei, her brothers Jaime and Tyrion, and their son Joffrey. Ned and Robert immediately fall back into the brotherly camaraderie of their youth (they were wards together at The Eyrie), and head down to the crypts at Winterfell, where Robert asks Ned to be Hand (as expected), that his son and Ned's daughter Sansa be married, and it is revealed that Robert is still madly in love with Ned's long deceased sister. A lot of people thought that Mark Addy was an odd choice for King Robert, but I thought he was wonderful, especially in the scene in front of Lyanna's grave, where he played his love for her with genuine sadness and regret. It is also while down in the darkness that we learn that the Targaryens, the House who ruled the Seven Kingdoms before Robert took it from them, still have descendants alive and well in the city of Pentos.
We cut to the villa of Magister Illyrio, where Daenarys and her brother Viserys are being hosted, and learn that the young Daenarys is being married off to a barbarian king she has never met in order for her brother to gain the armies to take back what he sees as "his kingdom". Harry Lloyd, the young man who plays him, does so to perfection, with just the right amount of arrogance, creepiness, and incompetence. I particularly love the scene where Dany is presented to the Khal, who says nothing and rides away, and Viserys runs down the steps flailing "DID HE LIKE HER!? WHAT'S GOING ON!?" Daenarys herself is utterly passive and without agency, and when she tries to speak up, is quickly put back in her place, despite the fact that she is terrified of her new husband and his people. But of course her brother cares for nothing but power, and the wedding proceeds anyway, with neither of them knowing anything of either the Dothraki tongue or its people. Personally, I felt the wedding itself was a little lacking, coming off as pretty tame despite the entrails and what I am going to call 'shag dancing'. It didn't seem like there were enough people there, and it kind of seemed weird that it was in the middle of the day, and it reminded me of almost any time there were Amazons on Xena (but not in a good way). I think there was a more elaborate wedding in the original pilot, but the whole thing had to be reshot when Daenarys was recast, and I think the budget for the second go was scaled down considerably. But anyway, Dany receives a few wedding gifts of note, the first being several books of poetry and legends from the Seven Kingdoms knight, Ser Jory Mormont. She also receives three petrified dragon's eggs from Magister Ilyrio, and a beautiful white horse by her new husband that would look just like her if Daenarys were a horse. However, she still goes into their wedding night fearful and crying. Again I was kind of disappointed that they left her there, because in the books the Khal turns out to be a much more tender soul than his culture or manner suggests, but HOPEFULLY this is made clear in the next episode.
So, after the wedding there is a big banquet feting the King at Winterfell, but of course it is not a happy time for all of the guests, mainly Cersei (whose husband's face is in a serving wench's bosom the whole time), Jon (who is banned for not being a trueborn son), and Ned himself (who is fretting about what the Night's Watch deserter said to him about White Walkers). Oh and the Starks receive a message in the night from Catelyn's sister, the wife of the late Hand, expressing her fear that her husband was murdered by Lannisters. This doesn't stop Ned from taking the position though, nor from them marrying Sansa off to Joffrey. The episode is ended with Bran discovering the Lannister twins in a very er, compromising position while the King and the rest of the household are out on a hunt, and Bran is tossed from the window in the twins' hurry to try to cover it up. This is the secret matter they were discussing earlier at Arryn's funeral in King's Landing, the thing that the Queen hoped he had not told her husband. In short: INCESTUOUS INTRIGUE.
Other notes:
- Love the opening sequence and I think the theme song is perfect
- The wall looks amazing and not fake at all. I'm pretty impressed with al l the CGI (especially for a TV show); it looks more like paintings than hastily cobbled together polygons.
- The standout performance so far for me was definitely Lena Heady as Cersei. She plays her like a lazy lioness waiting for her prey to move before she rips them apart: polite, but you can tell there's something very scary under all that hair and pretty clothing. I also really liked Jaime. I was sceptical when I saw Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in stills, but he totally has the Jaime smart alec swagger down. And Peter Dinklage was hilarious PERFECTION as Tyrion. And Maisie Williams is so cute, so perfectly Arya.
- EW were those Jon Arryns' organs on display in cups at his feet during his funeral??
- The Godswood is beautiful. I wish I had one.
- OK, so that half naked shaving scene was DEFINITELY for the ladies in the audience. I will give you that one New York Times. But I honestly didn't get some reviewer's bitching about the nudity and violence in this show. I'm pretty sure Deadwood had more nudity and violence in the first five minutes. It's all definitely less gratuitous than True Blood.
- God bless Emilia Clarke's "woman's body." I hope they don't make her starve it all off over the course of the seasons.
- I also loved how everyone actually looks like they could be related to those they were supposed to be related to.
- Oh and OUTFIT OF THE EPISODE has to go to Cersei, when she first arrives in Winterfell (see above). She is like BITCHES I WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO DO FUR. THE QUEEN DOES NOT DO GREY.

Yes I did it again ... I cheated! But I promise it won't happen anymore (at least not that much :D )
I combined challenge 11 and 12 and created a design with both dots and stripes :)
I used Artdeco 316 as a base, a really nice dark aubergine shade, and added dots with Catrice On Top of the Alpes and stripes with Essence Hello Holo.
I really like how it came out although it wasn't planned like this .. at all! I changed the design while I was painting it and that's the result :P
Hope you like it and thanks for reading! <3

This could have been any of our sons goofing around. It is sad news. I hope other teens learn from what happened in this tragedy. I truely hope that this family has support and that people refrain from judgement and finger pointing during their time of loss. Losing a child is one of the worst things one can endure, and I for one wish all involved my deepest sympathy.

I'll Tell YOU What Time It Is
Today I wore a wristwatch that was set to daylight saving time. I didn't give a hoot, because I wear my watch as a fashion accessory only; my watch has no truck with accuracy. Sometimes I even cut wristwatches out of magazine ads and tape them to my wrist. Completely useless. "What time is it?" people ask me. "Time? Don't know what you're getting at," I roar as I stomp on their kneecaps. The kneecap-stomping is the key to teaching these toothless interrogators a lesson; I don't want people wasting my time with their rummy questions.

Forever and Forever
I enjoyed this fictionalized account of the relationship of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Fanny Appleton. This was based on research, letters, and other writings and the author did a good job at the end of distinguishing the fact and fiction. With the Portland, ME tie to Longfellow I appreciated the book and learning more about him. I have found recently that I am reading books that are above the age of my primary readers (up to 5th grade). So, while I enjoyed the book and would recommend it for the junior high or high school I won't get it for my library. I do like the idea of historical, factual romances - aw...

American college experience is characterized by Greek life, specifically fraternities. There is a debate between those who perceive them as illegal and unruly, and those believe they are great organizations for the production of the next generation of skillful leaders. A variety of studies have been conducted to prove that core values and respectable characteristics are actively promoted and utilized within fraternities. My research proves that in spite of the bad image they receive, fraternities are great conduits for a successful career. In order to change their image, it is necessary for fraternities to change how they operate, internally and externally, and to establish a working and mutually beneficial relationship with their university.

We had a great Sunday. We had 4 new people at church on Sunday and the zone had 3 investigators there. It was so nice to have people at church finally. I felt like I was in the city again! We found 6 new investigators and we still have many really great people to follow up with and teach for the first time.
It was such a miracle one family that came to Church was a family from the Philippines Elmer and his wife Maria. They came just after sacrament which was not ideal but they had a great experience while they were there. The first speaker was another Philippino who spoke about baptism! At the end of sacrament meeting a member who we work closely with went and started talking to him, turns out that Elmer is there electrician! What are the chances eh. They have 3 boys who they are really worried about and they are excited about young mens and giving there boys a good chance to be around good influences and things like that.
We also had another couple come to church who we are going to teach on Wednesday with a member. They really enjoyed church and said they will be back next week. The Lord really blessed us this week as we did all we could to find and teach. We did an MMC with a member on a Thursday at 2 until 4:30 we knocked doors....not the best of times to catch people...we talked to 25 people found 1 former investigator 1 less active member and 7 potentials!
This week was full of miracles and we are excited for them to keep coming this week.
Glad to hear that everything is going well at home and that the girls are staying busy. Thanks again for all that you guys do for me and all the prayers I get. We got transfer information today and our whole zone is staying the same, Pres Parker will be here in about 2 weeks and everything is just kind of in lock down until he gets here. I am glad to be staying with Elder Kelese he is a really hard worker and we are doing really well together. Love you all and have a good week!

Written by: Joshua Guess
Published October 29, 2010
Available Format: ebook, blog
My Rating: ★★★★☆
Living with the Dead is basically a collection of fictional blog posts that chronicle the day-to-day life of a group of Kentucky zombie apocalypse survivors as they band together and work to create a new, safe environment for themselves. After the zombie bacteria takes over the world and Josh comes to terms with reality, he quickly begins fortifying his home and gathering as many of his family and friends as possible. Eventually, they make the entire neighborhood a compound and work hard to rebuild their lives again.
I put this book on my to-read list months ago at the recommendation of a friend, but when our JournalJabber listeners requested a zombie themed show, I had to get on this earlier than planned! I was actually quite pleased, thankfully. I am just now working my way back into the horror genre, and I'm happy this is one of the first zombie books I have ever read!
Obviously, since this is written as a blog, it is extremely and refreshingly down-to-earth. Josh is your average Sci-Fi, martial arts, video games kind of guy in a new marriage who suddenly finds himself in the middle of an apocalypse that only his nerdy interests have prepared him for. As Josh is quickly becoming a resourceful leader with the thoughtfulness and ability to journal the events of his life, we're able to see the inner workings of a survivor compound through real language with real emotion.
There are quite a few spelling and grammar mistakes, but I found myself far more forgiving considering the format of this read. If I were reading it on the blog, which is available at http://www.livingwiththedead.net/, then it would make sense that the author of said blog would not be concerned about whether he spells every word correctly or uses the proper punctuation. He is literally fighting for his life. Who cares about mechanics and grammar?
What really struck me about this book is while the zombies are the initial threat and the driving force behind most of what the residents of the compound are doing, the focus is more on the actual people, those within the compound and those on the outside with whom they come in contact with. It is a brutal picture of what lies at the heart of humanity. If such a tragedy were to strike, this is very much what we can expect. Some will rise up as leaders and reach out to others with the best of intentions—providing shelter, nourishment, safety. Others will be more selfish or even cruel—pillaging, raping, murdering. There are so many instances in this book that Josh is discouraged by the egotistical actions of others, saddened that he must be so distrustful, or downright appalled that he has to murder another human being just to protect himself and his family. It paints a terrible but realistic picture of who we really are.
Josh also brings up some really great points about the American government, which following this catastrophe is literally obliterated. His group is able to start fresh, learning from the mistakes of history and attempting to build a system that is less about appearance and more about the true betterment of society. If they succeed is yet to be seen, but with people like Josh around, there is a good chance they will!
Not once did I become bored with this book, and I am very eager to continue the story! I am completely enraptured in the lives of these survivors. I strongly encourage you to get yourself a copy of Living with the Dead, which will support this great new author! You can then check out the blog at http://www.livingwiththedead.net/.


text: With not *quite* the same level of fearlessness as her brother, I am often reminded that she is still quite brave. The biggest, tallest thing at the playground is the first thing she always runs to, no matter where we are. This day was no exception. Without a doubt, she's inspired by her brother and I am so thankful for that!

The entertainment world was rocked by some sad news this Christmas. English singer-songwriter George Michael, who rose to fame in the 1980s as part of the duo Wham! before embarking on a successful solo career, passed away at age 53. According to his longtime manager Michael Lippman, the singer died of heart failure "in bed, lying peacefully."
Michael was known for such hits as "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," "Last Christmas," "Careless Whisper," and "Freedom '90." He was also a devoted advocate for LGBT rights and AIDS awareness. Tributes to Michael poured in on social media following news of his death, as his famous friends and admirers reacted with sadness and respect.
Another celebrity who took a moment to remember the singer was was fellow Brit and Late Late Show host James Corden. What many people may not know is that Corden's ever-popular Carpool Karaoke segment actually originated with George Michael back in 2011. Corden played his Gavin and Stacey character Smithy for a sketch in Comic Relief's Red Nose Day special. He and Michael drove around wearing matching tracksuits and singing along to the Wham! song "I'm Your Man."
Corden explained the origins of the sketch to Stephen Colbert earlier this year. "My original idea was to pick George Michael up from prison in a car," he said. "And then we realized, 'Maybe we'll lose the prison, but what if there's still some fun for me and George to be in the car and we'll sing some Wham! songs?'"
Around the same time, the talk show host told Howard Stern, "We couldn't put our finger on why is this so joyful? There's a joy in here. We couldn't really work out why." These days, Corden recreates that joy on a regular basis with his celebrity guests, and you could say he has George Michael to thank for that.

Fantastic. I like the larger bases. I've gotten tired of moving smaller bases.

Robots are getting softer.
Borrowing from nature, some machines now have arms that curl and grip like an octopus, others wriggle their way inside an airplane engine or forage underwater to create their own energy.
This is technology that challenges how we think of, and interact with, the robots of the not-too-distant future.
Robots are big business: by 2020, the industry will have more than doubled to $188 billion, predicts IDC, a consultancy. But there's still a lot that today's models...
