Pay attention. Say something. Ask what you can do to help. Remember that a woman who has given birth to a dead child has given birth and is recovering physically, too. Don't be afraid of grieving parents.
For me, one of the things that really helped was other people's actual grief, the friends who made it clear that they weren't sad for me, but sad for themselves. They were looking forward to meeting this kid. They missed him.
In retrospect, I can see how brave those people were -- it's easy to worry about claiming one's own grief in the face of greater grief -- but it was the immediacy of the feelings that meant so much to me, that, and seeing that if other people were sad, then I had the right to be really sad.
Above all, don't try to hurry them into feeling better or suggest that you hope they're over it.

Right now it is filled with leaves, so it must be comfortable, but we better get him out of this habit because I do intend to have fires in his new "bed".

We continued on the Via Dolorosa and made a stop at the Wailing Wall, the western wall of the Temple Mount.
The Western Wall refers to the only remnant of the Holy Temple, constructed by Herod the Great around 19 B.C. The name "Wailing Wall" describes the site because it is a Jewish practice to come to the site, mourn the destruction of the Temple, and lift up prayers as close as you can get to the Holy of Holies. The lower half the wall is from the Herodian period, but the Byzantines and Umayyads added more layers on top of the existing Temple wall. (notice the different layers in the picture below) This has become a place of pilgrimage for Jews as the closest accessible site to the holiest spot in Judaism. King David built the Western Wall and the one here today was built on top of his foundation.
Heartfelt prayers on crumpled paper filled every crack of the wall and spilled onto the tile below. Jewish people believe that all of God's bounty and blessing comes from the Holy of Holies and this wall is the closest to that spot... so they believe praying by the Wall is particularly beneficial. A wave of sadness came over me as I watched women cling to the wall with heavy hearts, little girls hovered over crying, head in their hands. Men walked through to their section of the wall repetitively bowing in meditation as they recited prayers to God.The sense of hopelessness and despair overwhelmed me. I could not pray for the requests I previously had on my heart. I do not believe that a prayer by this wall is any more powerful than one to the Lord from my home in Cincinnati. My God promises to hear my cries and prayers, no matter where I am. But still, I prayed. Leaning against the wall, I prayed through my tears... for the teenager rocking back and forth in meditation to my right... for the beautifully aged Jewish woman to my left who, trembling, tucked a tear-stained prayer into the wall... that they would find hope in their despair, the only true Hope, the Messiah.
As I backed away from the Wailing Wall out of reverence, my sadness was overcome by thankfulness. Thankful for Jesus who saved us by grace and gives believers the hope of eternal life.
1 John 5:9-15
"We accept man's testimony, but God's testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son. Anyone who believes in the Son of God has this testimony in his heart. Anyone who does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because he has not believed the testimony God has given about his Son.
"And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
"I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us- whatever we ask- we know that we have what we asked of him."

Repo Car Auctions In Maryland; Repo Autos Online Auctions; Car Auctions Open To The Public; Aberdeen Auto Auction Baltimore; Results from the CBS Content Network. The Maryland police can't afford to keep the cars forever so it auctions them at cheap prices. If you obtain a car that needs little work at a good price, this means you can use the car straight away. Since 2002, The Salvation Army Auto Auction has been one of the organization's largest fundraisers of the year. The public is invited to participate in these GSA auctions of surplus cars, vehicles, and buses, that are typically held as soon as a month. Police car auction are allowed on impounded cars, when there is no claimant for a certain period of time. The auto auctions can provide car buyers with varied option for buying a used car. You will find it beneficial to take the time and effort to look into a car auction in your area because it could save you a lot of money. They hide behind the fact that they do not own the vehicles and when the pay the bank on Fridays they have no recourse and are not able to refund the buyer.
I do not accept this response, because there is no way to get the car inspected and returned to the auction by 5 pm the next business day The auction ended around 7 or 8 pm. I didn't leave the auction until close to 930 pm. I took the car for inspection the next day and called the auction as soon as i found out about the engine leak, however no one answered the phone.I even sent a email in which no one have still not responded.
If you don't see the car you are looking for at , click on the button Request Availability" in the Auctions section, fill out the form, indicating the properties and features of the desirable car, and we will let you know when we get a vehicle that matches your inquiry criteria!
It should not be liability, a money sink where lots of fund goes in maintaining and repairing the car. If you already have a charity in mind or once you have selected a charity and are ready to donate your car, please use our convenient car donation form or call us toll-free at (866) 392-4483 to donate over the phone.
Now many people give their preferences to online auctions since the website present detailed photos of a car and useful data about real car condition. I Believe the Auction house had previous knowledge that the car transmission was in poor working order prior to sale.

Annabelle Reposeur
Principal Consultant
"Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right." – Henry Ford
After spending a few years analysing and forecasting the IT B2B market for large multinationals like IBM, Samsung and HP, I wanted to go back to a more consumer focused environment. I was also keen to use my analytical skills across the whole marketing spectrum, including advertising, offline and online, pricing and trade promotion.

Since joining Data2Decisions I have led a number of global projects for world-famous clients in the retail, luxury and FMCG sectors, helping them make sense of their data and answering their most pressing business challenges.

Dagmara, whose body was found in a cubicle in the maths department, was praised as a handsome, happy and popular girl who had a very bright future.
But the inquest heard she had confided to friends and family that she had been singled out because of her nationality by bullies who called her a "stupid Pole" and told her she "did not belong here".
"I did not know what they said on this occasion but it was just a few days before Dagmara passed away. I don't know whether these incidents were racist in nature".
Mrs Przybysz, from Truro, said a particular group of girls was causing her daughter problems. "She said ... it was not a problem anymore", Przybysz told the inquest.
The alarm was raised when Dagmara failed to turn up for a lesson on 17 May a year ago. A postmortem found she died as a result of hanging. She was barged into in the school corridor.
Mr Przybysz said they made a decision to send her to Pool Academy because it had a good reputation, though most of her friends went to Redruth School. "She told me she would have comments such as "stupid Pole".
"Comments were made towards another Polish child and Dagmara would always try to stand up to them".
Answering questions from Dale Collins, who represents Pool Academy, Mr and Mrs Przybysz - who are not represented at the hearing, said pupils had made racist comments to Dagmara "a few times" in the last few months. "She often talked about problems and she was often hurt when people said unpleasant things".
The inquest also heard about an incident in a PE lesson that left Dagmara very upset the day before she died.
She fell out with pupils during a rounders game and needed medical treatment after striking a wall in frustration.
Mr Przybysz said he was waiting outside school to collect Dagmara when his wife called to say the police were at their home and that Dagmara was dead.
"My wife and I kept wondering whether we should have kept Dagmara home that day, but there was no physical sign that she had taken any tablets, otherwise we would have taken her to hospital", he added.
Lewis said there were false rumours on social media that evening they were going to split up.
A school friend, who can not be named for legal reasons, also told the inquest Dagmara had been targeted by racist bullies.
She said: 'I used to sit next to her in class. She told me when year 10 girls said she "did not belong here".
'I told her to report this and I only know about this from what she told me'.
Dagmara's father, Jedrzej Przybysz, said that on the morning of her death he received a phone call from his daughter. "She was upset and crying and did not want to tell me the reason", he said.
Pastoral support worker at Pool Academy, Susan Kent, said: "To the best of my knowledge, Dagmara never mentioned any problems with racism to me or any other person at school". "I told her to go to school and on return we would have a serious conversation about this problem".
However Mrs Przybysz said she thought the biggest problem for Polish-born Dagmara at school "was not racism but bullying".
Her uncle Tomasz Dobek, who took her to hospital, said in a statement read out in court: "She said she had been in PE and that some girls had laughed at her... she said she had got angry at them and punched the wall".

This is the same aquatic tricycle found in tropical resorts that conveys two pedalers on oceans, lakes, or any open water. Rugged and extremely durable, it is constructed from three buoyant polyethylene wheels that ride high in the water, supported by a rust- and corrosion-resistant stainless steel and extruded aluminum frame. Twelve paddles built into the outer halves of both rear wheels propel the tricycle forward, powered by the pedalling foot power of one or two seated riders. The smooth front wheel cuts through the water like the bow of a ship, steered by either pedaler with the handlebars. Both the wheels and the polyethylene seat are sun, rain, salt, and abrasion-resistant, enabling use year after year in both fresh- and saltwater. Supports up to 450 lbs. Assembly required.

Hi, Nadir. I have solved the problem with a slight modification in lines 3252, 3393 of the file src/soap/SoapDeSerializer.cpp in order to accept also "1", in the same way it accepts "true". With this minor modification, it has worked ok. But I do not know for sure if this modification is completely correct ..... I downloaded the source code at the beginning of november. Maybe the latest version of the code can already deal correctly with both ways to express nil values. Thanks for your reply.

Elements that Surface
Here are examples of elements that often become thinking topics as you move from college life to life after college. Develop your own thinking around each.
The Moment – creating the ability to focus in on what is happening at the moment and how cool it is. Trying to not hang on to the college experience and not getting too worked up about the future – career, relationships etc.
Happiness – typically considered "happiness," but how satisfied am I with life?
World View – once in the post college world, the nature of ones work and/or their available time brings the opportunity to find a greater lever of interest in the world.
Family – creating a family may be part of the future, but possibly not that big at the moment.
Personal Growth – changes in social habits, self-examination, optimism, personal health
Health – approach to eating, sleeping, exercise and spirituality. Creating a Rhythm of life. Shut down and reboot
Social – adjusting to a significant change in demographics and beliefs
Career – acknowledging the desire to develop ones career yet not let the career become your entire world
People – in college you have more fun people to hang out with
Assess what I have been taught – a time to assess a lifetime of learning and create personal beliefs on these topics
Schedules – a career has a less flexible schedule than college
Happiness – it's a different kind of happiness that relates more to life satisfaction.
Social Media – moving from a more casual conversation to a professional approach
Personal Finance – taxes, budgeting, personal management

The latest plan for newly acquired Joseph Davis State Park was the main newsmaker at Monday's Lewiston Town Board meeting.
Representatives of the DiMarco Group and Stieglitz Snyder Architecture PC were on hand to provide a presentation to the Town Board and residents on a concept for a 250-room lodge and conference center. Envisioned for an area in the southwest corner of the park adjacent to Lower River Road, now undeveloped, the project is estimated to be in the $1 million range, according to representatives. It was referred to by Paul M. Colucci, vice president of the Rochester-area DiMarco Group as "the perfect complement" to others eyed for Joe Davis and existing attractions in the area. Colucci spoke of the "two fantastic opportunities" at the park - a Nature Center proposal by the Audubon Society and a fish hatchery plan presented in recent weeks by Bill Hilts Jr., Niagara County sports fishing coordinator, as spurring his interest in becoming involved and contacting the town.
Architectural Consultant Robert Shepard of Stieglitz Snyder, who was involved with the DiMarco Group in the recent Avant/Embassy Suites project in downtown Buffalo, presented plans for the complex, which would involve 48 suites spread out over three floors, with 16 on each floor. Capacity would be 250, with rooms consisting of singles and doubles ranging in size from 300 to 600 square feet.
The lodge would be fronted by a banquet facility to accommodate 100; rooms on the river side of the complex would feature terraces; a man-made stream would be integrated into the plan, and the rear of the complex was envisioned to include a patio area and fireplace overlooking the river, with lawn area and the stream descending down to the river's edge.
"We see this as a very exciting project," said Colucci.
Supervisor Steve Reiter and the town councilmen agreed.
"This looks absolutely spectacular," commented Town Councilman Ernie Palmer, adding he's thrilled that Joe Davis Park is finally starting to get some action.
"We're looking forward to this," said Reiter.
Councilman Ron Winkley suggested the lodge plan could serve as an opportunity for a partnership utilizing the Niagara University Tourism and Hospitality Department to help operate it. Colucci agreed, saying that could be a consideration with prospective hotel operators, none of whom were named.
Reiter, answering a question afterward from resident Paulette Glasgow regarding requests for proposals on the lodge project, said that overall feasibility and marketing studies for the Joe Davis proposals would come en route. He said the town would be considering formation of a development corporation (membership unnamed) who would be working with the town on the various park proposals as they develop further. All projects currently remain in their conceptual stage with funding mechanisms only discussed and no actual proposals made as of yet to the Niagara River Greenway Commission or other state government agencies.
Asked by Glasgow about a Joe Davis Master Plan, Reiter responded that the discussions thus far on the three projects are already indirectly serving in concept as a master plan would. "We're putting all this together and we're being active on this," said Reiter. "We're working on this ... we (still) have to submit all the plans to the state."
Other news from the session:
•In a related matter the board approved proposed rules, 11 total, covering rentals of approximately four shelters at Joe Davis Park. The town is also refurbishing picnic tables from the long neglected state park for the upcoming season.
•Palmer updated the board on an eight-field soccer complex and related facilities project on the Niagara-Wheatfield School District's campus on Saunders Settlement Road, en route to routine board approval on a negative declaration and endorsement of earlier Planning Board approval.

I can remember a time when women's pants all had pockets. It was nice to have a place to put my wallet, change or my hands. Over time, designers stopped putting pockets in a lot of women's pants. Or worse, they put fake pockets. What's the deal with that?
I know there are these stupid ideas that all women carry everything in their purse and that ladies don't put their hands in their pockets, but that's just nonsense. We're not all the same. Even though I have a purse, sometimes I don't want to carry it, or I want to have something in a pocket for easy access. The thing about putting your hands in your pockets, well, that's just silly.
I find it rather annoying that they stopped putting pockets into pants. I like them, and I know there are other women that do too. Who was the moron who decided we didn't need them anymore? I've got to say though, that the fake pockets are much more annoying. Either they put a flap that makes it look like a pocket but isn't, or they have a sort-of pocket, that's maybe an inch deep and totally useless, and usually at some odd angle where if it were real your shit would be falling out of it all the time.
Men aren't the only ones who want pockets. They're convenient. Styles really annoy me sometimes. Someone, somewhere, decides that their way is the right way and then all the clothes that get put out follow that trend. We don't even have a choice in it. Like boot-leg jeans. They seem to be out of style now, but I wear boots all the time and I want pants that fit over them. I despise skinny jeans. I want to be able to go to a store and get what I want, not what some drug-addled designer thinks women ought to be wearing for the next 3 months until they change their mind and screw it all over again.
Men don't have this issue as much. Sure, men's styles change too, but stores always sell the old stand-bys. Guys can always buy basic slacks and jeans, they can always buy plain tees and simple button-downs. They're not at the mercy of the idiotic fashion industry the way women are. Just like they're not at the mercy of the ever-changing arbitrary sizing changes that women have to deal with. A guy who's a 36 can always buy his size, he doesn't have to try on everything in the store to figure out what a 10 actually fits like this year.
The fashion industry needs a serious kick in the ass. Women need to stop being sheep to the media and start making their desires heard. Does anyone ever stop to realize that the media and fashion industry are making women be what they want, and women are just following along like good little automatons? A reality check needs to be served to most of the population. Women need to start thinking for themselves rather than falling victim to whatever the latest trend is.

Can Morality be legislated?
No matter how much we would love to see good morals exhibited by everyone on the planet, it will never happen. God gave us free will to do whatever we wanted to do, and many take it to the extreme.
Pornography has a big hold on many of our citizens. But, making it a crime has not made a dent in the number of people who still seek out pornography. Being a Christian does not ensure that a person is free of the addiction to porn. But we Christians need to love those that are addicted, pray for them, and trust God to heal them of the addiction.
Morality can be legislated, but the hearts of men cannot be. Adultery would continue to be practiced regardless of how many laws our government passed. It's just in man's secular nature to do things he feels are right for him, regardless of how much it hurts others, or even how wrong it might be by law. A real alcoholic will find some way to drink even if it is unlawful. Many counties in our state are 'dry counties', meaning liquor is not sold in any form in those counties. Probably as many people are drinking in those counties as in those counties that are 'wet'. They just buy it in a wet county and take it over the county line.
The heart of man can only be changed by an inward change through the blood of Jesus. In other words, unless a man's heart is changed, immorality will continue to reign in his/her heart.

"'See, it is I who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its work. And it is I who have created the destroyer to wreak havoc; no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me,' declares the LORD. " - Isaiah 54:16–17 (NIV 2011)
God does amazing things, there is no doubt about this fact. As I have said many times before, the trouble is that we sometimes forget to stop and see those amazing things. Something that goes along with this idea is that we forget to take the time see the amazing people through whom God does these amazing things. God could easily do whatever He wants, whenever He chooses, but for some reason He chooses to use people to do His work. What a privilege to participate in God's plan...to be used of God! Now before some of you think I'm getting high on myself, I'm not talking about me at all. I talking about every single servant of God. What a privilege it is for us to serve in God's will.
If you know that you are a child of God, and you know that it is a privilege to serve in God's will, then know that God has created all things for His will to be completed. Why is this important? In times like these, it is imperative so that we have confidence that He knows what He is doing. We must KNOW that God has complete control so that we can pray for the protection of His people and the lives of those that have not yet had a chance to know His Son. We must pray for those that protect us, not because God can't do it, but because God works through people. He has done it through history and he continues to do it today.
In the days to come, I'm sure you will hear more about "Back the Blue." I'm going to ask you to do something simple but incredibly powerful. First, place BLUE lights in your porch lights so that patrol officers can see your support for them as they do their best to protect each of us. Secondly, pray for their protection from "weapon" and "tongue" as they do their job. Pray that they would have strength to share God's love even when situations are difficult. Pray that they, themselves would know Christ if they don't yet know Him as Savior.
Let them know that we appreciate their service as we BACK THE BLUE.
In Christ,
Bro. Grant

I pointed out the use of the shunting yard algorithm in the original C compilers this post:
If you compare it to the first c01.c you can see they are related, i.e. build() which is a silly name by modern standards. But the code got way more readable! I guess there was no preprocessor at first, so they did stuff like "case 8: … case 9: … case 36: …"

Doing some job for our client in Salesforce area I required to upload a lot of data. This process can be automated partially. But I can't avoid physically-based mouse actions like clicking by specific buttons in exact order. Really I don't know if similar software can be downloaded, but simple and own Adobe AIR app can guarantee that it will work as expected without and security issues like clicking somewhere when I don't watch on my monitor 🙂
But now… I can! I have done small Adobe AIR Native Extension for Windows that can fire native mouse actions like:
1) MouseButton.LEFT_UP, MouseButton.LEFT_DOWN, MouseButton.LEFT_CLICK
2) MouseButton.RIGHT_UP, MouseButton.RIGHT_DOWN, MouseButton.RIGHT_CLICK
Sure I limited features only by my own needs.
It's pretty easy to use:
NativeMouse.click(MouseButton.LEFT_CLICK, 960, 393);
As you can see – I sent click button event and position on the screen where it must be clicked by x and y. Please note – after event fired your mouse pointer will be moved there automatically (before click will be proceeded).
P.S. Tested on Windows XP 32 bit and Windows 7 x64 bit. If you can test on Win8/Win10 – please leave a comments if it works.
– added paste feature. It force ctrl+v using your own data or that you can setup via as3:
// will emulate ctrl+v with your buffer
// will copy "Hello world" to Clipboard and than emulate ctrl+v
NativeMouse.paste("Hello world");
– added setters and getters for X,Y
– added setXY method
– added appendX, appendY, appendXY
You can download it for free.

Many workers injured at work in Texas go through extensive physical therapy. What happens when a patient is treating for a workers compensation injury and suffers another injury going through therapy?
In a Texas Workers' Compensation claim, the injury is not limited to the conditions affected at the time of the injury. But, includes any conditions naturally arising out of the compensable injury. This includes medical treatment for the compensable injury which causes damage to the physical structure of the body.
If you are injured during physical therapy, or while receiving medical treatment for your compensable injury, your insurance carrier is liable for the treatment to relieve the effects of the injury. Additionally, if this portion of your injury creates a permanent impairment, make sure it is included in your impairment rating.
If you have any questions about your workers compensation claim, contact the Dallas office of the Morris Law Firm at (214)357-1782 or via email at email@example.com.

A group in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged the party's factional governorship candidate in Ondo State, Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim, to end his claim on the ticket.
The PDP Reform Group, in a statement, appealed to Ibrahim to "deeply reflect on the propriety of your current political misadventure as a PDP parody-candidate and think critically about posterity and what tomorrow will record for you".
The statement signed by its convener, Mr. Ariyo-Dare Atoye, urged the businessman to stop "a needless voyage of distraction that will only benefit narrow-minded sycophants who are spurring him on".
It added: "You will recall that in a difficult bid to justify their political presence, the Jimoh Ibrahim's supposed campaign team alleged that its campaign office in Akure was vandalised by some thugs, who came in a PDP branded bus belonging to the candidate of our party, Eyitayo Jegede.
"We wish to remind Ibrahim that allowing himself to be used in this distractive manner is not good for his business exploits and profile and we urge him to, in the interest of a good name, fear of God and posterity, jettison this avoidable petty political commotion and support the candidate of the PDP.
"It is not too late for him to retrace his steps and support the PDP wholeheartedly to win on November 25. The current travail of some former PDP members in the APC is enough lessons for everyone in the PDP to close ranks and work together to salvage this nation from those who have plunged it into an avoidable recession."
The group, however, observed that Ibrahim has all the necessary qualifications to be a governor, but "such dream and aspiration must be pursued logically and in a dignifying manner".

Here you will find general information about all the events facilitated by Llantrisant Community Council throughout the course of the year. If you would like more information on past events, please refer to our "News" page, or if you would like more information on upcoming events, please refer to our "What's On" page.
Armed Forces Day (June)
National Armed Forces Day is held in June each year. Each year the Community Council organise a flag raising event to show the communities support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community: from currently serving troops to Service families and from veterans to cadets. Armed Forces Day is also an opportunity to raise public awareness of the contribution made to our country by those who serve and have served in Her Majesty's Armed Forces and the flag raising is always followed by refreshments to allow local school children a chance to talk with members of the British Legion, Royal Naval Association, Air Cadets, Army Cadets and other ex service personnel who may attend. Originally the service took place outside the Parish Office, but in 2012 it moved to the Memorial Gardens, on Parish Road in Tynant allowing a safer more appropriate space for the service.
Community Horticultural & Craft Show (August)
Organised by a committee of local allotment holders and Community Councillors the annual community horticultural and craft show is held each year at Llantrisant rugby club. It is a lovely afternoon for the local community to catch up with each other and admire the handicrafts and growing skills of friends and family. The show is open to everyone and there is a special section for children. Children may also enter any of the main classes for no fee. If you would like to become involved in helping organise the show or require any further information please email:firstname.lastname@example.com As well as small monetary awards for each class there are several overall cups and trophies presented each year.
Remembrance Sunday (November)
Local residents, Brownies, Air Cadets and Army Cadets meet each year outside the Parish Office to remember those who gave their lives so we may live in peace. The service is led by Creighton Lewis, OBE from Tabor Baptist Church. However, the War Memorial Committee has recently secured funds for the erection of a proper war memorial for the people of Llantrisant and the local area that have lost their lives fighting for their country. Local resident Mike John has spent many hours compiling a list of names to be included, and it is hoped that the memorial will be erected, within the Bullring Area of the town, in time for the 2016 remembrance service.
Christmas Carol Concert (December)
Over 20 years ago, Mrs Olwen Chislett took a group of scouts under a street light in Beddau to sing carols for passers by. Since then the venue has changed to the library, to Llys y Cwm Hall, to St Michaels Church, to Beddau Community Centre and for the last couple of years in the sports hall at Bryn Celynnog Comprehensive School. Over the years the scouts have been joined by the primary school choirs from Llwyn Crwn Primary School, Gwaunmeisgyn Primary School and YGG Castellau and also representatives of the music department at Bryn Celynnog Comprehensive School. The RCT Community Band have also recently started to attend ensuring a successful evening enjoyed by all. The Community Council are grateful to Llantrisant Parish Church whose Minister or Curate always lead the proceedings which traditionally end with the arrival of Father Christmas.

our programs & pricingTuition fees are dependent upon age, location and care time.
Tuition & Fees
Program fees are calculated on a yearly basis. Although the number of days in each month varies depending on the number of recognized holidays or closure dates, there is NO change in monthly fees.
*Please see this year's scheduled closures for your location under the "For Parents" section of the website.
Parents must complete a Pre-Authorized Debit (PAD) Form prior to their children's first day of Kids U. The Electronic Fund Transfer is processed on the first day of the month. Parents are responsible for having the adequate funds in their account at this time. If your payment is NSF, you will need to pay the monthly tuition by cheque in person; plus a $25 NFS Fee. If we do not receive your payment before the 1st of the month, there will also be a late fee of $35.
Families who are not diligent in ensuring their account is kept in current status risk having care of their child terminated. Any family with an account with an outstanding balance will have their position immediately placed on hold (i.e. your child cannot attend if your fees are past due). Any account remaining in a past due status past the 10th of any month, your child will be immediately terminated.
If child care services are terminated due to non-payment of fees, families will still be responsible for ensuring the outstanding fees are paid to the centre. Kids U Inc. will forward any outstanding accounts to an outside collection agency to ensure proper closure of the account and monies owed are recovered.
Any fee for this will also be borne by the family involved.
Tuition Includes: (The monthly program fee includes the following for every child attending the program)

Annual Materials Fee
There is a non-refundable, non-transferable annual material fee* of $250.00 for all new and returning students.

Parents who miss this deadline will lose their child's place in class. If these parents choose to enroll their child a later time they will be considered a new student.
*For Kids U Bridgeland, families are billed $20 a month (paid in full at the time of application) for materials fees.
**For Kids U Centennial, the annual materials fee is $325. This increase in price is due to additional services that are not offered at other campuses, such as bedding and laundry provided.
The annual materials fee must be paid with the first month's deposit.

Anyone who has an outstanding balance, you will not be given a receipt.

Somewhat the opposite of The Land of Laughs, reading The Resurrectionist, as a contemporary fantasy from an author whose reputation preceded him, was an experience that quickly satisfied my expectations. The two books are very different in tone and theme but they're well worth a comparison as both set out to essentially do the same thing – the goal of most contemporary fantasy – to merge the real and believable with the magical. Only this one does it well. Continue reading

"The Land of Laughs" by Jonathan Carroll
Jonathan Carroll has developed an almost cult status as a slipstream author, and it was with his contemporary fantasy reputation in mind that I picked up a copy of The Land of Laughs, part of the Fantasy Masterworks collection. It had incredibly high praise from a number of reputable critics and authors, including Neil Gaiman, and comes with claims that if you're new to Jonathan Carroll then his debut is a great place to start. Such build up can go two ways with a book; it can give it an advantage making you love it before you've even begun, or it can set you up for great disappointment. Continue reading
Love of Seven Dolls by Paul Gallico
I chanced upon this book going through my mother's old collection, and always being intrigued by something short and purportedly fantastical (with a context of carnivals, no less) I gave it a whirl. Not already being familiar with Paul Gallico, I was immediately impressed by the standard of writing and drawn into the enchanting (if now antiquated) world of Love of Seven Dolls – a tale of a suicidal girl finding a reason to go on through a puppet show with a life of its own, travelling across 1950s France. What follows, though, is a remarkable book that turns incredibly dark and does not fully (or in some cases even partly) resolve its negatives, yet somehow remains enchanting. Making it a pretty fascinating read. Continue reading
What makes Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" so brilliantly bleak
Revisiting my older dabbles in post-apocalyptic fiction, I'm writing reviews and profiles for my new website dedicated to the genre, Post-Apocalyptic Books. The following is my review of The Road, by Cormac McCarthy, produced for that site, but an effective example to place here as well:
The Road by Cormac McCarthy is especially well known now, thanks to the star-studded movie of the same name, but it was doing well long before the film's release. Its won multiple awards, including the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction (2007), receiving serious attention from the literary critics, not normally shown to entries of the post-apocalypse genre. Unlike many of the books in my lists, The Road isn't exactly sci-fi or horror. It's a harrowing emotional journey; primarily a story of the relationship between a father and his son, despite its apocalyptic setting. Continue reading
Roadwork by Stephen King: book review
Roadwork is another of the "Bachman Books", written by Stephen King under a pseudonym (supposedly because he wanted to see if he could reproduce his success), and the next in the series I've been reading following The Long Walk. Like The Long Walk, it's one of very few Stephen King stories I wasn't already aware of without having read it. It's also unlike anything of King's I'm familiar with. To look at the novel's synopsis, its blurb or its early front covers, you'd be led to believe it's a novel about a man's tense, violent stand-off against the progress of a new road. A siege, perhaps. This is really not the case. Continue reading
Under the streets of London: "Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman
My first exposure to the work of Neil Gaiman, I can still remember watching the original Neverwhere series on the BBC with rapt enthusiasm. It was richly full of originality, blurring local folklore (or, at least, names) with bizarre new mythologies. The literal interpretations of Black Friars, Angel Islington and Earl's Court, for example, were incredible flights of fantasy. Some 17 years later, I finally got around to reading the book. And how did it compare? Continue reading
11 stand-out post-apocalyptic novels
If you like this list of the best in post-apocalyptic novels, please check out my new site, Post-Apocalyptic Books, with an archive of information about post-apocalyptic books and their surrounding culture – including massive master-lists of post-apocalyptic films! Otherwise, check this list of 11 of the best books available in the genre:
1. The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham
Only read after my first go at this list, this novel is now at the top. In a relatively short novel, Wyndham's story of a world torn apart by blindness, and killer plants, is a perfectly realised apocalyptic tale. It expertly depicts the rapid decline of society and the threats that the survivors must endure, from the spread of disease to the gradual destruction of unmaintained buildings. Read my full review here. Actually just read the book itself, it's not long and it's a brilliant example of an acutely realised societal collapse.
2. The Road by Cormac McCarthy
An obvious addition to any list of post-apocalyptic novels, The Road popularised the genre for the 21st Century with critical acclaim and a hit movie to follow. Cormac McCarthy's bleak writing style is perfect for creating a desperately depressing atmosphere in the post-apocalypse, but what really makes The Road stand out is the poignant coming-of-age tale at its centre. Alongside the story of individuals surviving without food or sunlight, beset by raiders and cannibals, is the tale of a father and son, and a boy finding the confidence to become a man. Available here.
3. The Stand by Stephen King
Stephen King's stand-out post-apocalyptic novel (oh my the puns!) was made into a popular TV mini-series, and is one of his most popular books. It depicts a group of survivors after a superflu wipes out 99% of the human race, as they do their best to thwart the efforts of a rising villain and his diabolical army. It's an epic tale of good vs evil, which goes somewhat beyond the usual craziness that a breakdown in society creates. To know exactly why, it's best to read it yourself. Available here.
4. A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter Miller
Not entirely popular at its release, Canticle for Leibowitz has developed a huge cult following amongst fans of post-apocalyptic novels. Why? Because author Walter Miller gives a vastly ambitious account spanning 1800 years, whose overall message is a bit more complex than the average 'what individuals must do to survive' spin. This novel maps a cycle in history, exploring the virtues and threats of technology, demonstrating how the unchecked effects of human ignorance can repeat themselves. Buy it now.
5. I Am Legend by Richard Matheson
Remade into a number of film and TV efforts, the latest being the 2007 blockbuster starring Will Smith, no one has quite captured the genius of I Am Legend in another medium. What separates it from other post-apocalyptic novels, and stories in general, is the gradual build-up to its haunting twist, the reason for its title that other interpretations have tended to miss. I Am Legend is as much a horror story as a post-apocalypse novel, as Robert Neville, the sole survivor of a disease, is hounded by blood-sucking infected former acquaintances. It's a fantastic microcosm of genres, as Matheson combines carefully thought-out sci-fi elements and Neville undergoes a range of bleak emotions. Available here.
6. In the Country of Last Things by Paul Auster
Not exactly apocalyptic, because whilst the city of the story has faced societal collapse perhaps the whole world hasn't, but this novel has all the haunting despairing hallmarks of a post-apocalyptic tale. The narrator trudges through a dying society, struggling with homelessness in a lawless world where suicide is an accepted part of life. About as bleak as novels come, and captivating for it. My full review is here.
7. Riddley Walker by Russel Hoban
If you've read around my site at all, you've probably seen Riddley Walker mentioned a few times. It's a monumental work of fiction that so completely imagines its post-apocalyptic setting that the narration itself is a new language, truly placing you in another time and place. Iron-age survivors trying to rebuild society make a mess of understanding the history that led them to this place, and the result is an incredible work of literature, let alone a classic post-apocalyptic novel. Read my full review here, or just go straight to buying it. It's worth it.
8. Wool by Hugh Howey
Hugh Howey is an inspiration, both for his incredibly entertaining writing and for his activities as an author. He has rocked the publishing world with his eBook success. And this novel did it with worthy reason: it's original, gripping has such a strong sense of atmosphere you'll really get to feel what it's like to live in an underground silo. Claustrophobic, tragic, brutal and brilliant. Read my full review here, or better yet just read the novel.
9. Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank
Pat Frank's 1959 novel Alas, Babylon follows the exploits of a small community in Florida as they struggle to survive following a nuclear war. It's dated, but forward-thinking for the time, dealing with prominent issues like race relations and the terrifying consequences of a global arms race. Early in the Cold War, when it looked like humanity might very well commit mass suicide, Alas, Babylon strips back the community and shows what life (or a lack of it!) would be like after the war. For instance the efforts you have to go to to get salt. Find it on Amazon here.
10. Earth Abides by George R. Stewart
Another tale of survival after the devastating effects of a plague, George R. Stewart's 1949 novel follows Ish Williams and his haphazard attempts to rebuild Californian society. Like A Canticle for Leibowitz, Earth Abides recognises the long term implications of rebuilding society, covering an era where there are no quick solutions. The book it aptly slow and brooding to suit it, developing in a very calm way that concerns itself more with atmosphere than science and conflict.
11. Y: The Last Man by Brian K. Vaughan
This is a graphic novel, rather than a single book, but it's more powerful for it. Y: The Last Man poses a different post-apocalyptic scenario in which precisely half of humanity has randomly died out, with the exception of Yorick Brown. As the last man on Earth, he is beset by a host of women and a slew of gender issues as the characters struggle to protect him and understand what happened to all the men. It's a novel tale with a lot of twists and turns, great fun and a considerate study of gender relations and scientific ethics. It's available in a variety of mediums- to get the whole story you'll need to track down some 10 books or so – but here's a good place to start.
Honourable Mentions
The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman
Another serial comic, rather than a novel per se, The Walking Dead is still going in monthly comic publications, and it's an epic sprawling work of post-apocalyptic fiction. It's a story of survival and disaster that works in vicious cycles, where no loved character is safe. Effectively combining the bleakness of surviving in the post-apocalypse with the action and horror of all your favourite films, to my tastes the comics are even more powerful than the TV show (although the latest season is doing an excellent job of recreating the finest story arch of the comics!). Again, it'll take some work to find the whole story, which hasn't finished yet, but you can start here.
Z for Zachariah by Robert O'Brian
Another bleak look at isolated survivors, Z for Zachariah was a book we studied heavily in school. As any successful post-apocalyptic story should, it deals with the strains of characters lonely and under pressure. As much a look at adolescence and personality clashes as survival. Worth a read, even if it's not as epic as some of the tales listed here. Read my full review here.
Less Honourable Mentions
The Passage by Justin Cronin
Haphazardly mixing genres, I personally can't see why this novel has received such critical acclaim. The plot is a mess, the characters flat and clichéd and the writing just seemed lazy. A lot of people seem to love it, but I only read 400 pages or so before giving up on it. But that's enough to judge a book by isn't it?
Metro 2033 by Dmitri Glukhovsky
Loved the computer game, was rather indifferent to the novel. It's a good story with some great sequences of action and tension, but it's bloated and more pulp fiction than literature. In part I'm sure it's to do with the translation from Russian – that and long sections on rather inconsequential characters hold it back from being a classic.
And a suggestion for something different…
If you've got more suggestions, please let me know as I'm always on the look out for more post-apocalyptic novels to read! And if you'd like to try something you're unlikely to have heard of, consider reading my novel Wixon's Day, a slow-burning steampunk post-apocalypse. Described by one reviewer as "Mad Max on a canal boat."
You may also like my article, Why we love the apocalypse in fiction, exploring what it is about post-apocalyptic novels that is so enthralling.
What makes The Long Walk by Stephen King so compelling
Written under a pseudonym (Richard Bachman), The Long Walk is unmistakably a Stephen King book. It's got all the themes of friendship, adolescent mishaps and extreme horror you'd expect from King, with the added bonus of feeling strangely, compellingly profound. Whilst at the same time being a novel that spends its course describing a group of 100 young men walking along some roads. As we all know from a number of manifestations of the dream of the Great American Novel, though, it's whilst people trudge aimlessly along roads in America that the most profound thinking and life-changing experiences occur.

The Digital Filmmaking Handbook by Mark Brindle – review
If you've ever wanted a brief introduction to everything you could conceive of relating to digital filmmaking, this is the book for you. It doesn't look big, but in the space of some 220 pages Mark Brindle has covered the full gamut of modern filmmaking, including what camera to choose, what software to edit in, how to write a convincing a story arch, tips for funding and how to distribute your film. Read it cover to cover and you'll be able to convince any stranger you meet that you know how to make a film. Continue reading
Immense, artistic and exciting – American Gods by Neil Gaiman
American Gods by Neil Gaiman is a truly immense work of art. Like all of Gaiman's writing, it feels like more than a simple fictional yarn. It feels like the story itself has history, and it's difficult to see where real life (in this case, American locations and popular mythologies) stop and the make-belief begins. He has a unique talent for weaving his own creative ideas together with lasting traditional tales, making the craziest stories come to life. It's something he continued to do well in Anansi Boys, but I'm glad I read that, the vague sequel to American Gods, first – because American Gods would've set the standard too high to follow. Continue reading
