I mean, he cancelled a few, but that was also all around the same tour. I've seen him do three of these guerilla shows now, and I know that he's at least done another 10 that he didn't cancel. His track record for them is pretty good.
And if he mumbles something about requests, shout loud. He seems to have a grasp on pretty much his whole back catalog (E.G. playing Beercan AND Debra at one of the Echo shows based on fan requests) and he has asked for audience requests at every small show I've seen from him.

Billabong ASP World Junior Championships
North Narrabeen, Sydney, NSW Australia
January 3 – 10, 2009
World's Best Juniors Hunt Title At Billabong ASP World Juniors
NORTH NARRABEEN, Australia (Wednesday, December 23, 2008) – The Billabong ASP World Junior Championships, the most prestigious junior event in the world and decider of the undisputed ASP World Junior Champions, is set to run from January 3 – 10, 2008 at Sydney's North Narrabeen beach in New South Wales, Australia.
The event marks the culmination of the 2008 ASP Pro Junior Series where competitors from each of the seven ASP regions compete on their domestic tours for a chance at qualifying for the Billabong ASP World Junior Championships. A minimum of 13 countries will represent the seven ASP regions this January at North Narrabeen's world-class beach breaks.
The Billabong ASP World Junior Championships boasts one of the most impressive pedigrees of past champions the world has ever seen with the likes of three-time ASP World Champion Andy Irons (HAW), 30, claiming the title in 1998, ASP Dream Tour stalwart Joel Parkinson (AUS), 27, stamping his mark on the event twice in 1999 and 2001, South African wunderkind Jordy Smith (ZAF), 20, taking the title in 2006, among others.
Equally, if not more, impressive is the fact that every female to ever take the Billabong ASP World Junior Championships has qualified for the elite ASP Women's World Tour: Jessi Miley-Dyer (AUS), 22, in 2005, Nicola Atherton (AUS), 22, in 2006, and Sally Fitzgibbons (AUS), 18, in 2007.
Tanner Gudauskas (USA), 20, who finished third at last season's Billabong ASP World Junior Championships, will return as the highest ASP North America junior finisher on the ASP World Qualifying Series (WQS) in 2008 and is keen to better last year's finish in his final crack at the Billabong ASP World Junior Championships.
"Being at this event, you really feel like you're part of something special," Gudauskas said. "They run it just like an ASP World Tour event and the kids there are easily the best in the world. I got third last year so if I'm able to make the Final in my last year here, that would be great for me and would give me a lot of confidence on the 'QS in 2009."
Gudauskas has had plenty of experience at North Narrabeen for the Billabong ASP World Junior Championships and hopes to lead the ASP North American qualifiers to a solid result.
"Two years ago, I got mixed up and showed up halfway through my heat and lost early then I finished third last year so I suppose I've had the best and worst experiences at this event," Gudauskas said. "Hopefully that will help me this year and I'm super focused on doing well there. The ASP North America kids that are going are all really talented so it'd be great for us all to have good results. That being said, the entire field is pretty daunting so we'll have our work cut out for us."
Heath Joske (AUS), 20, is one surfer who will be looking to reclaim the Billabong ASP World Junior Title for Australia – Parkinson was the last national to win the event in 1999.
"I personally think the guys to look out for will be the Aussies," Joske said. "Stuart (Kennedy), Jayke (Sharp), Lincoln (Taylor) and Owen (Wright) are in and they are the four guys that will be hard to beat."
Despite the confidence in his fellow countrymen, Joske will be looking to pit himself against the best junior surfers in the world with aspirations of coming out on top.
"This year is my third in the main event and I'm older, more experienced and surfing better so hopefully I can do really well," Joske said. "It's the only event for juniors worldwide to measure up against each other and I want to prove to myself that I can beat the best of the international guys."
The men's field will be rounded out by the top two finishers of Von Zipper Trials, taking place just prior to the start of Round 1. Notable trialists fighting it out in the 16-man Von Zipper Trials include Julian Wilson (AUS), 20, Torrey Meister (HAW), 20, Kolohe Andino (USA), 14 (15 Jan. 1, 2009), among others.
The women's field will host 18 of the most talented up-and-coming female surfers in the world including 2009 ASP Women's World Tour campaigners Coco Ho (HAW), 17, and Paige Hareb (NZL), 18.
The Billabong ASP World Junior Championships hosts a waiting period of January 3 – 10, 2008 and will be webcast LIVE via www.billabongpro.com

By Karl Grossman
A giant in Suffolk County politics and government is leaving office this week.
Gregory Blass, extraordinarily independent and courageous as the presiding officer of the Suffolk County Legislature, compassionate as the county's social services commissioner and a Family Court judge, is retiring from government.
State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele, Jr, of Sag Harbor, who served with Mr. Blass on the Suffolk Legislature, describes him as having been "transformative to Suffolk County politics and government. He led the way for a lot of us." When Mr. Blass got involved in politics here in 1979, "Suffolk government was dominated by party leaders and party politics. Greg changed that forever. He changed the dynamics of politics in Suffolk away from the party leaders to elected officials. And his leadership in issues such as open space and Shoreham helped set the agenda."
Mr. Blass came to Suffolk in 1978, settling in Jamesport, after serving as an officer in the Judge Advocate General's Corps of the Navy.
"My father's mother was raised on a farm in Riverhead and I always wanted to get to the East End," he recounted last week.
Raised in Freeport, he was a Republican with two "wonderful guideposts" of that party, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt. He was awed by Lincoln's humanism, and Roosevelt's commitment to conservation "and the way he used the offices of president and governor — he was a great progressive."
Mr. Blass began practicing law in Riverhead but got drawn into politics as a result of the Long Island Lighting Company's plan to build four nuclear power plants in Jamesport. He organized a referendum in Riverhead linked to the Jamesport project — with voters strongly voicing opposition to it — and in a Republican primary challenged the party leader's choice in 1979 of a candidate for the Suffolk Legislature in a district that included both the North and South Forks and Shelter Island.
He won the GOP primary — an uphill proposition — and then the election. And as a Suffolk legislator, continued in David-and-Goliath situations. The highly independent, reform-minded Mr. Blass was integral to a revitalization of the Suffolk Farmland Preservation Program, championed open space acquisition and reform in department after department in county government, battled to open radiation-polluting Brookhaven National Laboratory to scrutiny, fought for changes in health and social services, and was central in the battle against LILCO's Shoreham nuclear plant. In addition to the four nuclear plants LILCO wanted at Jamesport, it planned for three at Shoreham with, in the 1980s, the first Shoreham unit all but completed — and hardly anyone thinking it could be stopped considering the powers arrayed behind it.
But, as Mr. Blass declared upon being elected the legislature's presiding officer — with bipartisan backing — in 1986: "We stand strongly united against a concerted effort by LILCO, the nuclear power industry and elements of the federal bureaucracy to force this boondoggle down the throats of the people of this county."
And, with Mr. Blass a leader, Shoreham was stopped.
However, the pro-nuclear interests moved to stop Mr. Blass. Knowing they couldn't defeat him in a general election, they had a nuclear advocate run in a GOP primary against him in 1989 and organized having Shoreham construction workers pour out to cut Mr. Blass off at the political pass. The ploy worked, and Mr. Blass was off the legislature — before he was voted back on to it four years later in a Rocky-like rematch.
In elected office, Mr. Blass says he saw "the magic of the political process, that when used the right way you can cause a sea change to a community, even to a country."
He would move to Family Court where it was "so challenging and rewarding on a case-by-case basis taking so many tragic life situations and turning them around to the better."
He became social services commissioner continuing his activist ways. He has at times, he noted, "put on old clothes and sunglasses, pulled a hat down over my head" and visited county social services centers to investigate first-hand how people are handled — and making sure insensitive, bureaucratic behavior is changed.
At 63, he plans to travel with his wife, Barbara, whom he met through Suffolk politics, and write a book on politics and government. He wants people to know how there will be "endless rejections. But don't get discouraged. It's daunting. But you can succeed."

The hive of activities in Jaipur from hints on reforms, promulgating 'Chintan Shivir' and anointing Rahul as Vice President (Congress) are measures apparently to counter the mood of doom and gloom in the Congress after its state electoral (2009/2012) failures. Readers/analysts attribute the electoral failures to the atrocious governance record of the Congress since 2004. The Jaipur melodrama was expected to divert attention away from the massive public discontent over the dismal governance record of the UPA- Congress. Do readers confirm the verdict of the electors in key states (TN, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and most importantly Gujarat) rejecting the UPA/Congress governance, a trend that is becoming India wide and disastrous for Sonia and her close clique. The debate has also shifted to the issue of the relevance of the family/dynastic rule in Delhi. According to numerous analysts including Virender Kapoor /Firdous Syed /Gagan Sharma (DNA/IANS Jan) there was nothing in 'Chintan Shivir' except that it was all about Rahul's succession and the survival of dynastic rule at the 2014 elections.
The show enacted in Jaipur by Rahul/Sonia was a targeted response to the electoral route turning into a blind alley for Rahul. Sonia in one of the sessions admitted '..we need to accept that the people are not happy with the way politics is working in India'. In fact Sonia/Rahul were aware how the hold that the close Sonia clique had over the direction of Congress politics remained strong despite conspicuous policy failures creating a strong undercurrent of popular discontent. Going by the state level election 2009/2012 results, to Sonia/Rahul the leadership dilemma was that the voters were discounting heavily the role of the dynasty/family name factor in elections. With the electorate acting in this manner the prospects of Rahul becoming a prime minister after 2014 electorally was receding.
Hence Sonia opted to transfer part of her powerful position in the Congress to Rahul to assure the family's stranglehold of the Congress to deliver to Rahul a role equivalent to what Sonia enjoys; a de facto Prime Minister without officially holding the post of Prime Minister. PM Manmohan Singh was a family appointed and controlled PM. In a piece in the NY Times of 25 Dec in 'Manmohan and Obama: A tale of two speeches 'Obama delivered a speech after the senseless slaying of school kids in Connecticut that 'seemed to come straight from the heart'., the second speech of Manmohan Singh that came many days after the Delhi gang rape was 'deadpan, had the right words but without feelings'. Obama's speech had a prompt 'connect' with the feelings of the people grieving the dead but Manmohan's speech lacked any connect with the vast crowd of mourners demonstrating the streets of Delhi. There are reports that when, how and where Manmohan is to deliver the speech is subject to the Congress family/dynasty guidelines. This adds one more compulsion (family) for Manmohan to complain about besides the coalition compulsion.
Hence the Jaipur 'Chintan Shivir' according to the Sonia minders/managers was a necessity in view of Rahul's electoral shortcomings specifically his tendency to shy away from positions that would require him to be accountable for governance failures. Sonia's unstated agenda is to replicate for Rahul her success as the de facto leader (PM) of India. Rahul according to another analyst for 'The Globe and Mail (Jan 21 2013) had a 'wooden speaking style … (was yet able to deliver a) surprisingly emotional speech at one of the Jaipur sessions … (reportedly his sister Priyanka flew in to Jaipur to provide critical rehearsals/inputs for Rahul's speech) that 'provoked a storm of tears and cheering in the hall packed with Congress loyalists …(though) polls indicated that the Gandhi name itself is no longer enough to carry voters… (with the) young Indians …growing increasingly disenchanted with the dynastic tradition'. Mr Gandhi was put in charge of his party's campaign in the critical state elections in Uttar Pradesh last year and in 2007, (where) the Congress suffered harshest defeats both times". The results of the state Gujarat election have not changed the electoral position of the Congress for the better.
According to candid analysts 'On the whole Mr Gandhi has had an undistinguished political career…(and) his …high profile effort …yielded few results to energize a new party "youth wing" . '..He is aloof and rarely speaks publicly.' His contribution in the Lok Sabha is almost nil. These shortcomings explain why he doesn't deserve the 'leadership' success that evades Rahul most of the time. He even avoided '…the huge demonstrations that followed the gang rape in Delhi …' At the iconic moment of youth anger, he was missing for weeks. At the Chintan Shivir Rahul spoke belatedly about the anger of the youth feeling alienated from the closed clique in the political class in Congress taking all important decisions. The elevation of Rahul is unlikely to change the youth's sense of alienation under a Congress style rule.
Another analyst highlights 'this party's …genius … (to orchestrate Rahul's/dynastic succession via another route/door using the family's stranglehold of the party organisation'). Anyone who attempts to differ with this view 'that's the end of their careers'. The analyst adds 'that's not enough to run a country' any longer though Sonia and her close clique in the Congress appear to believe in it still. Evidence from state elections point that the dynastic appeal alone cannot get the party re-elected to power. According to the critical NY Times of November 4, 2012 '…in fractious political times, a scion of India's dynasty stays quiet' highlights the inadequacies of Rahul as a potential Prime Minister of India.
Strangely the Congress faithful at Jaipur overlooked Rahul's electoral inadequacies when on elevation to Vice President, Rahul himself responded proclaiming 'the Congress party is now my life and people of India are my life'. Rahul 'the perennial non-starter of Indian politics' beginning at the very top was given the de jure status as number two. The control of the 'Firm' (Congress) has to be within the Family. The party minders to cover up Rahul's inadequacies portray him as 'a reluctant politician' but when this line was losing its credence, Sonia/Rahul in Jaipur created a new fiction; 'power is poison' liner. This is an old family charade to remind the voters/Congress of the sacrifices of the family, Rahul makes sure that he mentioned the tragic loss of his father and grandmother.
In Jaipur Sonia/Rahul after fiercely fighting the anti-corruption activists for years especially during 2009-2012 railed against nepotism and corruption. Shinde's wisdom that the Indian voter had short memories about all forms of governance failures including massive scams encouraged Sonia to smuggle into the Congress' own Chintan Shivir the vigorous campaign against corruption that voters associate with the Lokpal and IAC activists. Sonia boldly smuggles these hot issues into the Chintan Shivir without acknowledging how Lokpal and IAC (India Against Corruption) activists campaigned the most to bring these issues to the forefront of debate across the country while Sonia and her courtiers applied oppressive measures against those activists agitation.
Sonia in striving to find the political space politically for her son, an electoral write off, a powerful enough leadership role that she herself created the 'Chintan Shivir' was to turn public attention away not only from the massive scams/scandals but also many other massive political failures. An analyst in Groundreport of December 03 2012 catalogued these failures in 'Would Not Indians Replace Pretender Sonia To Rid India Of Her Secular Mafia Dharma And Save Indians From Doom'. The Jaipur pageantry was orchestrated to overwhelm public anger over these and Sonia family (Vadra) scam in which a number of Congress Chief Ministers were pressured to give Vadra a clean chit making those CMs accessories to the huge land scams. Mother and son railed not against those corrupt Congressmen but against the anti-corruption activists only blaming the system's inability to prevent the scams occurring. But the sins/misrule of Sonia and her courtiers are much wider and deeper in scope, that explains the sharp erosion of support for Sonia Congress and the defeat after defeat the Congress suffered at state level elections 2009 – 2012. .
The highlights of the Sonia clique's misdeeds discussed in depth in the Groundreport reveal that 'As Indians grow politically mature the Sonia regime began reeling under scathing and broad based criticism of its adharmic misrule; notably its scams (the 2G, Coal Block, Vardar scams ) and major foreign policy failures' . The Sonia regimes' response to corruption criticism was a haughty denial. Also there was a ground swell of popular anger when the regime at most times resorted to the use of the police, the CBI, MEA against protesters. 'Corruption stimulated inflation and price increases to cause much suffering to the aam aadmi. Corruption is the plunder of public assets and income streams into the pockets of Sonia allied politicians, big business and the new rich depriving funds for development measures to alleviate the sufferings of the poor. Vast amounts are stashed away overseas as black money by the corrupt; Sonia's reaction to this is the atypical inaction. 2009-2012 were years of widespread street protests that Sonia left the police to deal with and the cosmetic reshuffle of the cabinet left noted ex-scammers in more powerful positions. Sonia courtiers stirred more public anger when the regime unleashed state instruments like the police. RAW, CBI, tax offices on opponents and activists. To avenge the supposed assassination of her husband Rajiv, Sonia misused the instruments of state power like the NSA, MEA, Indian Embassy officials to support with funds materials and men the Sri Lankan genocide in which over 40 000 innocents were massacred. The victims were kins of TN Tamils and the Sonia Congress' inaction or in fact support irretrievably lost TN Tamils support politically. Pranab Mukerjee, NSA Narayanan, Chidambaram were Sonia's aids who blackmailed its scam ridden partner, the DMK into toeing the anti-Tamil Delhi line and not protest. Protests against this level of massacres that stirred the conscience of the world against a major crime against humanity strangely only received the impassive silence from Sonia and Manmohan. The 'in the loop' support of Sonia's Congress for the genocide of Eelam Tamils had implications for the unity of India. The alienation of TN Tamils runs deep… Hence Delhi was deaf to the oft repeated ode 'TN is being driven the Eelam way'. The Delhi's inaction and stilled silence has weaned off TN Tamils from the Gandhi family. Delhi chose to value freindship with Sri Lanka more compared to TN a constituent of the Indian Union. A grateful and friendly Sri Lanka encouraged China to establish a foothold in India's soft underbelly an alarming military threat never before Delhi experienced.
tThe popular anger that welled up over the Delhi rape tragedy drowned the life in Delhi with the public fearing a let down by the Congress (at both state and Central level). This time around initially confusion reigned over the decisiveness of the action of the police and political leadership while PM Manmohan Singh watched impassively for days. In a piece in The Times of India , Dec 25, 2012 Ajit Ghosh, 'Manmohan and Obama: a tale of two speeches', one by Obama on the 'senseless slaying of school kids in Connecticut' came from the heart, but delayed Manmohan's message was delivered deadpan. The rape rage that rocked Delhi moved the impassive Sonia. Sonia visited the victim in hospital soon after the Jaipur tamasha. She with Rahul met the anti-rape activist leaders at her residence to assure them of swift action against the Delhi gang rape criminals.
An analyst's candid summation of the 3 days Jaipur drama objectively assesses the effects of the Jaipur drama. This is worth quoting. 'Jaipur mission to preserve the family's control of the Congress was accomplished. The party reaffirmed its faith in yet another generation of the Gandhis. This was obvious even before Jaipur. With the terrible record in governance in the last four years it will be a miracle if the crown prince passes his first major electoral test. His record does not inspire confidence though the courtiers equated him with Obama(!) …Expectedly the climax of the show – Tamashas –was the coronation of the 'yuvaraj'. His reluctance earlier was not because of his perceived incapacity. Rahul…revealed… his mother's 'power is poison 'hint to avoid being consumed by the toxic power. ..the sympathy generated by Indra Gandhi's unfortunate death enabled the Congress under Rajiv to win more than 400 seats…In less than five years the haughty display of power politics by Rajiv and his cronies led to the worst debacle of the Congress. ..The dynasty can anoint a ruler. fifth generation in succession in Rahul's case – with the hope that the emotional voter will dutifully stamp his approval in the so-called elections or a sophisticated process of nomination? (There is a repeat of that haughtiness today) The onus for the change is not with the dynasty, they have a strong vested interest in maintaining the status quo. Unless the common citizen thinks and acts like a free citizen and brings to an end the disgusting dynasyic politics.., the family feel completely immune to any public scrutiny. Surrounded by a huge army of sycophants whose very survival depends on the continuation of the dynasty, they are beyond the realm of any criticism within the Congress party. The fully secure Gandhi's have developed a weird attitude of moral superiority to pontificate as if they are free from all the ills… In the Congress the respect is for positions not knowledge.' 'In that case (this)scholar asks Rahul 'what qualification do you have to be able to possess the prominent position he holds other than his unique position that may catapult him to become the next PM' other than his unique place in the dynasty.. Charity begins at home, dynastic politics has to come to an end for the youth to feel to be part of the system. That was the message of the youth demonstration in Delhi following the road rage…that the Jaipur comedy and Chinan Shivir are totally irrelevant in addressing.

Choosing the best among the web hosting providers
- Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 16:15
- how-to, website review
- 6 comments
You'll be in a great confusion if you have to buy the service from a new web hosting provider. There are many web hosting providers in the market and you've to choose the best among them so that you'll not be suffered by choosing it. Most of the customers suffers from bad web hosting companies due to their unreliability and lacking of sustainability in the high volume of traffic.So, I always suggest you to compare the features of web hosting providers before buying it.
How to compare and get suitable web hosting provider?
There are many web hosting review and rating websites where you can find the information and review among the good web hosting providers. You can compare the features among the leading hosting providers in market. If you want to find the comparison among the different leading web hosting providers then you can view this web hosting rating website.webhostingratings.com is a new web hosting rating website where they are trying to build one of the biggest web hosting provider guide.
How to find a suitable web hosting plan? The answer of this question is a bit complicated. It depends upon the requirement of you and your websites.For example, if you have a web development company then what kind of web hosting plan will you buy ? My answer would be Reseller Hosting Providers as I can sell the web spaces among my customers where I act like a secondary web hosting provider. You can also buy Shared hosting or Virtual Private hosting(VPS) depending upon your requirement. If you want to know more about them then you can check the web hosting tutorials from webhostingratings.com.
Things you've to care about before choosing a web hosting provider
Here are the list of things you have to care about before choosing a web hosting provider.
- Web Space – What is the size of space they are providing at the give cost ? Is is cheaper than others?
- Bandwidth – What is the limitation of bandwidth(data transfer allowed) per month allowed? Is is enough for you per month ? Is it better than the other web hosting providers?
- Uptime – Uptime measure weather the given web hosting provider is reliable or not. For example, 99% uptime tells that you're going to get hassle for 1 minute in every 100 minute. Is that web hosting provider has the uptime of 99.99% or not?
- Awards – Weather the web hosting providers you're going to choose has got any web hosting awards for their excellent service or not. This measure also justify their excellency about the service.
These are the most basic things you've to look after before choosing the best web hosting provider.So, if you've to buy a web hosting provider then I recommend to read the reviews and their features from http://webhostingrating.com .

Good points.
IMHO, good support is also a good factor to consider when choosing a good hosting company.

@Tom- Absolutely Good support is one of the biggest factor which I've missed out there…Web hosting without any quick support is worst than anything…
wrote on 1 October, 2008, 1:12
Those are some good points to ponder when you are picking a new hosting company, a few other ones might be is it a green host or one with less of a carbon footprint? that's kind of a big buzz word these days. Put that together with great tech support and you have a winning hosting combination.

Great news, UK iPhone fans: Facebook Places is now available in the UK, following its initial release in the US and Japan! And, what's more, it works like a charm. I've already been checking in and out of a variety of places with ease, and as of yet, I've encountered no problems with Facebook Places on my iPhone.
Places, is a Facebook service which allows users to post their location as a status update. Additionally, you can view the whereabouts of your Facebook friends in an easy to read list.
Places allows friends to meet up without formally organizing a venue. By "checking in" to a particular place, others may catch sight of this online and decide to meet you there. Once you leave a venue, simply "check out" to let the world know you've moved on.
As of this moment, we're not exactly sure when Europe is scheduled to get Places. It seems as if each country is going to be switched on one by one. We'll be posting if we hear more!
So, if you're in the UK (the US, or Japan), be sure to take a look at Facebook Places on your iPhone now! It should work immediately, as there's no need for an update. And, let us know how it works for you in the comments box at the bottom of this article!
Facebook for iPhone is a free application, which is available in the App Store now.

About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services. Report an instance of misconduct »
L-3 Communications
Air Force Suspension
Date: 06/03/2010 (Date of Suspension)
Misconduct Type: Ethics
Enforcement Agency: Defense – Air Force
Contracting Party: Defense - Air Force
Court Type: Administrative
Amount: $333,000
Disposition: Suspend/Debar - Company
Synopsis: On June 3, 2010, L-3 Communications Corporation's Special Support Programs Division (L-3 SSPD) and its predecessor entity, L-3 Joint Operations Group (JOG), were temporarily suspended from receiving any new federal contracts or orders, including those under its Special Operations Forces Support Activity (SOFSA) contract. The notice of temporary suspension was issued by the Office of the Deputy General Counsel of the U.S. Air Force on June 4, 2010 and relates to an on-going governmental investigation of L-3 SSPD concerning the alleged inappropriate use of an e-mail system. According to media reports, the government is conducting a criminal probe into whether employees of L-3 SSPD unit used a military computer network to conduct e-mail surveillance of its employees and the employees of the federal government and other contractors. The Air Force terminated the suspension on July 27, 2010. Pursuant to an administrative agreement ending the suspension, L-3 agreed to pay the Air Force a $273,000 "contract credit" (representing the company's profit during the period of the inappropriate conduct) and $60,000 in administrative costs.

Well, we seem set with a monitor to borrow for WEF, though it might be nice
to have something we can also use at GTC. (The current CRT we have is dim,
and while it's utterly useless outside in the sun, I don't think it's much
more useful indoors. :^) )
Would you be willing to either bring it to GTC on set-up day (Tues May 11th),
or drop it off at my place in Davis tomorrow evening (after WEF ends, but
not too late, since I'll be heading out of town tomorrow night!!!)

In the book Center of the Cyclone by Dr. John C. Lilly he states, "Discoveries of any great moment in mathematics…are seen to be extremely simple and obvious, and make everybody, including their discover, appear foolish for not having discovered them before." Such is the nature of profound discovery.
Over thirty years ago Marko Rodin made one such discovery when he wrote out for the first time what is now considered by many to be the most perfect equation ever written. It was about as simple as it gets. Nine numbers evenly spaced around a circle. And yet what was contained within was the secret to all the sciences that had eluded humankind for centuries. Marko had discovered the true nature of numbers themselves. He had discovered mathematical perfection. Within this little diagram were contained all the functions and abilities of all of the branches of math and science.
For over 23 years Marko labored to push this equation to a level where it could become engineerable. His goal was to harness this numerical perfection to obsolete all existing technology be it in the realms of power and propulsion, medicine and surgery, food and water production, computers, or even antennae and sound systems. And just when it seemed that it might be impossible he made another breakthrough. Marko found how to give his numbers dimension in quantum space and when he plotted them out he found that this little 2-dimensional cross section of a circle actually had the ability to fold out into a 3-dimensional model of the universe in the shape of a Torus or donut.
This was a highly significant discovery as it revealed for the first time why the Torus shape is so important and fundamental to nature. So important that it is actually the basis for every other form. Hence the fact that we see it from the micro to the macro scale in everything from our own blood cells and DNA to tornados and hurricanes to planetary magnetic fields to large scale galactic formations. All are observed to fold out into the shape of a Torus. I believe we will one day discover that even the entire universe itself is in this shape.
Within six months, Marko found himself presenting at Air Space America 1988 the biggest aerospace convention ever held in the world. George Bush Sr. was the Master of Ceremonies and it was there that he first unveiled his Torus model claiming that it was an engineering blueprint for the most advanced flying machine ever created.
Marko claimed to be able to use his numbers to harness the power of spin, liberating a heretofore unobserved, untapped 'zero-point' energy, to create a vertical lift wingless flying machine with the ability to travel anywhere in the universe. This energy has been known by many names in science (tachyons, monopoles, theta particles, dark energy) but this was the first time the anyone had claimed a mathematical model that could pinpoint a 'when and where' location in space that would allow it to be harnessed. In other words, we now had the blueprint for constructing a flying saucer. Marko called his machine, "The Flux Thruster Atom Pulsar Electrical Venturi Space Time Implosion Field Generator Coil."
How amazed was I then to find that, nearly twenty years later in 2006 when I first encountered Marko's work, almost nothing had been done to see this developed into a usable technology other than the primitive development of Marko's initial bifiliar Flux Thruster Atom Pulsar Coil (aka the Rodin Coil). The only information that was even available was a short, informal, and elementary presentation given by Marko in the late nineties that is still available on Youtube. However, I was determined to move this project forward and so I commenced to squeeze every bit of information I could out of this limited source and to get to work on applying the knowledge I found.
For the next few years I labored diligently applying Marko's own methods to his work until one night, to my own jaw dropping astonishment, I found an entirely new solution that had been missed by the finest scientific minds who had approached and analyzed this work. Once again Dr. Lilly's words rang true. I had discovered something completely new, the perfection of perfection and the key to creating three-dimensional lattice structure circuitry that (when properly engineered) has the ability to be superconductive at room temperature and can tap and harness this elusive 'dark energy.'
I call my discovery the ABHA Torus. It is now the full completion of how to engineer Marko Rodin's Vortex Based Mathematics. The ABHA Torus as I have discovered it is the true and perfect Torus and it has the ability to reveal in 3-D space any and all mathematical/geometric relationships possible allowing it to essentially accomplish any desired functional application in the world of technology. This is because the ABHA Torus provides us a mathematical framework where the true secrets of numbers (qualitative relationships based on angle and ratio) are revealed in fullness.
This is why I believe that the ABHA Torus as I have calculated is the most powerful mathematical tool in existence because it presents proof that numbers are not just flat imaginary things. To the contrary, numbers are stationary vector interstices that are real and exhibiting at all times spatial, temporal, and volumetric qualities. Being stationary means that they are fixed constants. In the ABHA Torus the numbers never move but the functions move through the numbers modeling vibration and the underlying fractal circuitry that natures uses to harness living energy.
The ABHA Torus as revealed by the Rodin/Powell solution displays a perfectly symmetrical spin array of numbers (revealing even prime number symmetry), a feat that has baffled countless scientists and mathematicians throughout the ages. It even uncovers the secret of bilateral symmetry as actually being the result of a diagonal motion along the surface and through the internal volume of the torus in an expanding and contracting polarized logarithmic spiral diamond grain reticulation pattern produced by the interplay of a previously unobserved Positive Polarity Energetic Emanation (so-called 'dark' or 'zero-point' energy) and a resulting Negative Polarity Back Draft Counter Space (gravity).
If experimentally proven correct such a model would for example replace the standard approach to toroidal coils used in energy production today by precisely defining all the proportional and angular relationships existent in a moving system and revealing not only the true pathway that all accelerated motion seeks (be it an electron around the nucleus of an atom or water flowing down a drain) but in addition revealing this heretofore unobserved, undefined point energetic source underlying all space-time, motion, and vibration.
The ABHA Torus is a universal primal geometry designed for maximum efficiency in energy transformation as well as a functional method by which the universe reprocesses matter, using it as a coolant source to bathe itself at the core of a black hole and then dissipating heat away from the center out of a white hole and along the Torus' polarized pathways of motion. This is actually the true explanation of how black holes, white holes, quasars, etc. work. They are all various manifestations of the principles of compression and decompression used to control temperature in many technologies today such as car engines and refrigerators.
Even the helical structure of the DNA molecule is an example of Torsion effects. It is the same principle as an electrical coil. Our blood cells as well are toroids and in fact the entire human body is an example of a toroidal system which is evidenced by the appellation 'torso'.
All of the aforementioned are representatives of one-way living, systemic magnetic/electrical systems that suck things in at the top (implosion) and shoot them out at the bottom (explosion). This process essentially creates a jet that allows the system to propel itself forward. However, as previously mentioned, the ABHA Torus has the ability to model even beyond the three dimensional processes of implosion and explosion by revealing their focal center, control, and convergence which is a Positive Point Source Emanation and the key to harnessing the unlimited energy potential of a higher dimension.
These emanations, called by the Rodin team Aetherons, are omni-directional, emanating from the focal center of any body of mass outwards in a trinary harmonic phasing which is the source of the non-decaying spin of the electron and the missing inertia-ether proposed by Albert Einstein. Aetherons are the only things in the universe that are irresistible, penetrating everything, and moving in an undeviating, non-decaying straight line that all physical mass is forced to warp and curve around.
Without these emanations the universe would instantly become destitute and void because of the way that the Aetherons penetrate, animate, and impart mass to all matter, creating what Marko Rodin first called the underpinning geometry of the universe. In other words, Aetherons bestow upon every material thing both its form and function which is why the ABHA Torus can reveal the true free flight pathways of least resistance for any and all motion whether it is electrons through a wire or space craft entering an atmosphere. This is a highly significant discovery for instance to anyone interested in celestial navigation because standard approaches to mathematics are based on approximations of reality and are unable to reveal these angular and proportional relationships. Strictly speaking this means that mathematicians have been unable to find a way to accurately pinpoint a location in three-dimensional space and are always forced to incorporate cumbersome correcting calculations for spacecraft once they begin to approach their destinations.
The ABHA Torus on the other hand is able to precisely locate any point in space by its ability to interface with all other Aetheron emanations present in the universe. This gives it the self-inherent property of automatic self-stabilization and orientation towards a preferred frame of reference which is its axis. And because the ABHA Torus is self-referential it can always know where up, down, left, right, front, and back are in relation to any other self-referential system of relativity.
Such statements cannot be underestimated in their importance. For if this math is correct then understanding the location of Aetheron emanations and their resulting magnetic and electrical effects in a precise where and when as modeled by the ABHA Torus is the key to understanding how to construct the ultimate technology.
With such a model it is possible to achieve electrical motion that is synchronized, void of harmonic discordance, and concentrated into a singularity at it's focal center. This singularity is also a jet that ostensibly allows for the creation of an inexhaustible and self-contained vertical lift reactionless drive with a tremendous magnetic output. So tremendous our numbers tell us that it will be able to bare any load into space regardless of its weight and without the need to return to Earth for fuel.
Not only that but any engineer who can read the numerical interferometry patterns on the ABHA Torus is actually able to move beyond the quantum threshold and observe separate freeze frame electrical moments running in counter mirror image directions in both past, present, and future positions along all x, y, and z axis'. Thus one can actually calculate even along the linear radial spokes of the z-axis revealing various polarized layers of the ABHA Torus skin and quite easily overriding the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle which states that one can never know simultaneously the past, present, and future position of an electron.
Beyond just physics however, Aetheron emanations are crucial in many other areas of scientific research. For the ABHA Torus is the only mathematical schematic available that can cross the boundary from one science to another revealing the secrets not only of sub-atomic physics, the periodic table or computer science but showing the true source of the unexplained helical coiling in DNA to be mathematically observable Aetheron Flux Fields and their resulting nested vortices. By harnessing these nested flux field vortices to control DNA mitosis and replication entirely new avenues of treating disease are opened and it will become possible to selectively cut and splice and genetic patterns without the use of invasive surgical techniques or even external frequency based techniques such as radionics.
This same principle can be applied to computer hardware for the ABHA Torus reveals the necessity of implementing naturally magnetically active gap spaces (similar to the one found in a DNA spiral helix and sometimes referred to as an equipotential major groove) in the electrical circuitry of all processing systems. As revealed by the mathematical data abstracted from the ABHA Torus these gap spaces will allow for the natural occurrence of these same nested vortices of electrical motion which have the potential to generate far greater speed and efficiency with no heat build-up.
Using the Rodin/Powell solution to the ABHA Torus these underpinning microscopic nested vortices can now be harnessed to turn any continuous medium superconductive at room temperature based upon the phasing of the vortices and the creation of a harmonic shearing effect that allows two electrical conducting wires to touch each other side by side without shorting out. This is regardless of total amount of energy output and requires no insulation.
That is to say that one could create a computer processing system that automatically regulated its own temperature much in the same way that the human body is a temperature regulating electrical machine. Thus getting rid of the resistance and parasitic friction found in all standard approaches eliminates the need for costly and cumbersome refrigeration heat sinks. For instead of using an external cooling system the ABHA Torus allows electricity's own magnetic field to breathe and naturally bathe it's multiple fractal conductors in a 'magnetic wind' that maintains temperature (by concentrating and immediately removing heat from the singularity) and eliminates the risk of incineration and short-circuiting.
With the ABHA Torus model we will no longer have to use primitive techniques of forcing electricity through wires and cutting the field with right angled correcting magnets which generates tremendous friction and heat loss as is measured in most light bulbs today. Instead the ABHA Torus uses the heretofore unobserved Aetheron emanations to generate magnetic flux fields which are evenly distributed over the surface area of the coil and which pull the electricity in perfectly phased synchronization through the creation of negative draft counter space. This is the same phenomenon as gravity. It is not actually a force as is currently posited in physics but is rather a back draft counter space created by a positive monopole emanation (previously posited to exist by Maxwell).
These emanations again allow for the creation of 'underpinning nested vortices' similar to sunspots or dimples on a golf ball that have their own harmonically sequenced activation stages out of which a tremendous amount of information may be extrapolated. For the underpinning nested vortices allow the ABHA Torus to always maintain perfect polarization and stabilized equilibrium in conjunction with dynamic angular momentum and acceleration meaning that it cannot even tilt in its rotation.
As previously stated, such a phenomena is not solely significant in physics where it for the first time reveals the true mechanism behind astrophysical phenomena such as Pulsars, Quasars, Black Holes but the mathematical unification of gravity with polarity as provided by the ABHA Torus is simultaneously a numerical model which reveals the binary code in computers to actually be the result of a trinary phasing sequence and multiple circuitry patterns creating an entirely new coding mechanism called a binary triplet.
Russell Blake, former senior researcher from Microsoft, believes that this is something that could have the power to completely revolutionize computer operating systems and information compression by condensing extremely complex calculations to only a few integer steps. According to Blake, "This fantastic coherence has existed since the beginning of time but has yet to harnessed by mankind and the potential is truly mind-boggling."
Mind-boggling indeed considering that not only does the ABHA Torus introduce a new type of processor for computers, but its universal numerical application allows for the creation of an entirely new artificial intelligence operating system. Again this is because of the inestimable uses of the new binary triplet operating system which has the ability to replace the standard dimensionless binary code of 0's and 1's with a dimensional, geometric, polarized binary integer repeating doubling sequence that has perfect mathematical coherence on a minimum of six different self-referencing axes intersecting any point and is not only three dimensional but actually higher omni-fourth dimensional as well.
In addition, the ABHA Torus is the only whole number numerical map in history that maintains a non-decaying scalar fractal pattern from micro infinity to macro infinity and yet is simultaneously a finite, contained, coherent, unified, and measureable entity. This means that one can navigate on all numerical axes of the ABHA Torus and resolve the obstacles to artificial intelligence by its capacity to reveal the means towards multi-dimensional computation even along the linear radial spokes of the transparent Z-axis. Not only that but the ABHA Torus' combinatorial explosion triangulation diagram actually reveals a perfect and simple method whereby programmers can move through the event horizon of a torus vortex-well singularity, invert and emerge upon the other side in an unbroken closed loop cycle. Such a thing is frankly unheard of in conventional computation, which is always forced to break down and self-destruct and cannot successfully emerge on the opposite side of the singularity.
Simply put, the ABHA Torus does it all. It is a blueprint for a perfectly efficient magnetic field generating motor and a supercomputer all in one. In addition, the ABHA Torus functions as a simultaneous antenna that could rid the world of all hard-wired technologies and even overturn the current approaches to wireless technology due to the ability of Aetheron Flux Fields to receive and transmit through any medium, penetrating what even magnets cannot penetrate, and tapping into the source of quantum non-locality.
Are such things possible? Perhaps. In truth, the full ramifications of this discovery remain to be seen due to its almost complete lack of acceptance and funding. However, skeptics should keep in mind that testing by engineers has already shown that approximate versions of Rodin Coil antennas are 60% more sensitive than any other antenna in existence resulting in the U.S. government presently using these antennas to protect the countries boundaries. Even primitive, homemade versions of the Rodin Coil tested by Hewlett Packard were determined to create at least 62.5% greater magnetic output than the standard wound coils while using 20% less copper. These are not insignificant results. In actuality, they are proof if nothing else that current electrical theory is fatally flawed in its approach.
Furthermore, initial testing of primitive versions of the new Powell/Rodin ABHA Torus design has shown even greater efficiency as well as unexplainable torsion effects indicating an unknown energy present even when the coil is not energized.
Over unity? Free Energy? Not yet for such devices will certainly require funding and the use of automatic technology to create precisely honed ABHA Torus structures capable of harnessing the true power of toroidal pinch. Most likely such devices will not be made of wire but will use other continuous media such as plasma gases which have the ability to expand and contract or even rapid prototyping lasers. Only experimentation will be able to unveil the truth at this point. But skeptics should keep in mind that many people have built devices that have interesting effects but very few have been able to provide satisfactory explanations for their work; certainly fewer an explanation of a mathematical nature. For that reason alone the ABHA Torus is a completely unique technological schematic awaiting hands-on application and new discoveries in every field of endeavor.
So why not attempt the impossible? There's really nothing better to do as long as we're stuck to this planet. And there is no greater technology schematic than the human brain, conscious awareness, and inspired innovation. Anyway, everybody loves a flying saucer!

Volleyball to Battle with TCU
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - The West Virginia University volleyball team continues its two-match homestand with a conference match against TCU on Saturday, Nov. 16, at 1 p.m., at the WVU Coliseum.
Tickets and select concessions will be available for just one dollar and a free children's clinic will take place immediately following the match.
"When it starts getting down to the last few weeks of the regular season, our efficiency in the practice gym becomes more and more important," says coach Jill
The Mountaineers (17-11, 3-9 Big 12) fell to Iowa State on Wednesday night, while the Horned Frogs (15-12, 3-9 Big 12) lost in straight sets to Oklahoma.
"It's not only what we are doing, but how we do it – the enthusiasm that we bring onto the court – that is just as important," Kramer says. "We have played a very competitive schedule the past couple of weeks, which I expect will prepare us for our match tomorrow."
The two teams met on Oct 2, in Fort Worth, Texas. West Virginia won the first set 25-23, but dropped the next three sets by a combined eight points, as TCU won the match 3-1.
Sophomore middle blocker Evyn McCoy had a season-high 10 blocks in the loss.
WVU sophomore setter Brittany Sample is just 36 assists shy of 2,000 for her young career, and sophomore libero Anna Panagiotakopoulos is two digs from 400 this season and five digs from 700 for her career.
TCU is led offensively by Yvonne Igodan's 248 kills. The Horned Frogs rank second in the Big 12 in service aces and are currently tied with the Mountaineers for seventh place in the conference.
Three of the seven largest home crowds in West Virginia volleyball program history have come this season, including a season-high 1,812 fans in attendance against No. 1 Texas, on Oct. 23.
West Virginia is 0-4 all-time against TCU, and returns to action on Thursday, Nov. 21, in Austin, Texas, against the top-ranked Longhorns.

Leaving Jinjellic we are still going east, Her indoors is starting to make noises like "How come you are further away than when we last spoke" but the pull of the east is strong.
In the background the Snowy Mountains are visible
We pass through Khancoben and then onto the Alpine way, dirt when I was last here, but sealed now. I'm getting used to the twisties.
Started in the 40s and taking 40 years to finish, the Snowy Mountains Scheme diverted the south flowing Snowy River west into the Murray, via a system of tunnels through mountains, providing irrigation water and hydro power at the expense of the Snowy and it's ecosystem, back then they thought all problems could be solved with engineering.
"The Snowy" as it's called here is regarded as one of the worlds 7 engineering marvels of the 20th century.
Here is the pipework feeding the Murray No1
And Gus taking a break from the twisties
The rivers are clean and cold hereabouts, this one at Geehi, the site of the Alpine Rally, I'm a couple of weeks early.
The ski lifts are still operating at Thredbo, but I feel a bit alone at this point, so settle for sitting on a rock, talking to my beloved on the phone, watching the beautiful people drive by.
I'm on my 18th day away from home and it's time to stop going away and start going back. Berridale, between Jindabyne & Cooma is my most easterly point, here I turn south and spend the night in a great pub at Dalgety, on the Monaro plains, a truly icon Aussie town.
Dalgety almost became the capital of Australia, pipped by Canberra at the post.
Here we see the effects of the Snowy Scheme on the Snowy itself, now a mere ditch, many times before the Scheme this bridge was a mere inches above the water. The Snowy now flows at 7% of it's pre Scheme levels.
And this is rain shadow country, it's bloody dry mate, they depend on the river.
We are headed south to Bombala and Delegate.
After Delegate we cross once more into Victoria at Delegate River heading for Orbost.
Not many motorcyclists pass this sign without a Kodak Moment.
At the end of the day we come to Marlo, where the Snowy meets the sea, and get pissed again, good pub on a warm Sunday night is the Marlo.
Thus ends Day 19.

As parts of efforts to consolidate the achievements of the Lagos Waste management Authority (LAWMA) in sanitation and environmental discipline in the state, Governor Babatunde Fashola, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the government, the Clinton Foundation and the Konsadem Consortium to develop the first modern integrated solid waste project.
Fashola, who described the project as a partnership among three credible brands, noted that "rather than diminish, the government would consistently strive to increase the commitment to governance towards a realisation of noble expectations".
The governor further expressed the hope that the integrated solid waste management project will deliver a model for other African nations and some states in the country to emulate.
In his words: "I only wish our successful consortium the very best of luck as we embark on this most innovative Solid waste management project that will certainly signal the arrival of best practices in Solid waste management in Lagos State, in this country and in the Continent of Africa".
While thanking the Clinton Foundation and Konsadem, Fashola also congratulated all agencies of the state government for achieving the milestone, adding that the next task is to keep to assigned time schedule and deliver the first phase of the project.
Speaking on behalf of the Clinton Foundation, its Country Director, Dr. Owens Wiwa, said the Clinton Foundation is delighted to partner with the progressive government of Lagos State on the integrated solid waste management project.
Dr. Wiwa noted that "working with the Lagos State Government has been very productive and the Clinton Foundation is very pleased with the expected outcome which is the reduction of Carbon emission and a very positive contribution to global efforts to address the issue of Climate Change."
The Clinton Foundation's Country Director during the signing of the memorandum argued that the deal "is indicative of the proactive nature of the Lagos State Government."
"It is not very often that it happens in Africa that you find a State Government working assiduously on a major project like this and we at the Clinton Foundation are very happy with this. We will continue to give all the required technical support to ensure that the project is successfully completed.
Responding, Managing Director LAWMA, Mr. Ola Oresanya said four years ago, the state gave an overview of what it intends to do and has been implementing it in stages, stressing that "the state is now at a stage of institutionalizing best practices in landfill management and gas recovery and working to ensure that most of the processes of management is classified as Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)".
According to him, the present administration is not comfortable with the way the land fill sites are being managed, but is doing its best to raise the standard of what currently exists.
"We are building structures that would be comparable with any of such structure of similar facilities anywhere in the world.
Oresanya disclosed that the people of Lagos will start seeing something new in terms of the waste collecting and storage capabilities of the agency soon, adding that "LAWMA is now shifting to treatment of waste in such a way that the treatment would come out from the waste already compressed at the various transfer loading stations in the state."
He further revealed that the state is collaborating with foreign companies from South Africa, Europe and Cairo to implement the new process especially in electricity generation and assured that in no time, "waste would no longer be waste but turned into something very viable."
Hinging his argument on the principle of "waste to wealth project of the State Government to give it a higher value while adopting and better processing", Oresanya called on residents to imbibe the character of safe gathering of both industrial and domestic waste so as to help the PSP in their operations.
In his reaction, the Chairman of Konsadem Associates Limited, Mr. Motunde Adeyemi, said the programme for which an MOU has just been signed is an innovative design which would collect and treat solid waste within Lagos and the environment becoming cleaner.
He said Konsadem has also worked on the planning and design for the sewage of Lagos that involved Ikoyi, Victoria Island and Ikeja in conjunction with a Dutch company.
Daily Champion recalls that LAWMA in 2008 initiated the process of addressing the challenges presented by the management of solid waste and as part of measures to achieve solid waste management intervention in partnership with credible international bodies like the Clinton Foundation.
The project is to be completed via Finance, Design, Build, Operate and Transfer(FDBOT) structure by the private sector under a 20 year concession agreement would lead to the development of a comprehensive project which includes closure, collection and utilization of landfill gas (LFG) the two existing dumpsites while incorporating a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) financing platform.
The project also includes the establishment of an Integrated Solid Waste Management Facility (IWMF) comprising of a Material Recovery Facility (MRF), Recycling and Composting Facility as well as a sanitary (Bale fill) landfill for residual waste.
One of the advantages of this system, according to experts is that close to 180,000 tons of waste usually disposed of at the landfill sites would be processed for reuse through recycling and composting so as to reduce greenhouse gas emission by approximately 95,000 metric cubic tons per year.
The first phase, the integrated solid waste management site is located in the Epe area of Lagos and will be designed to accept a maximum 900 tons of municipal waste daily.

Discussing Death with Little Ones (Whose Deaths We Fear So Much)
Not since 9/11 has a tragedy so deeply affected our nation as the massacre of 20 first-graders and six school administrators in Connecticut on Friday. It seems to me, words were not meant to communicate this level of horror. Our capacity for emotional pain is so much deeper than our capacity to verbalize what has happened. Sometimes silence and tears are our only option.
But when it comes to children, we have a duty to discuss death and dying. It is an important part of parenting, and we mustn't shy away from it. Yes, it's hard. Our children might fear our deaths more than anything else, just as we fear their deaths more than anything else. That's only natural. But there are things our children must hear, and they deserve to hear them from us.
Here's a bit of advice, should you need or want it.
• Heaven Doesn't Help Us: Talking to Kids about Death
• 12 Mistakes Parents Make When Talking to Kids about Death
As for nonreligious children's books about death, these are the best I've found so far:
When Dinosaurs Die: A Guide to Understanding Death by Laurie Krasny Brown. I can't say enough great things about this book, which is why I dedicated an entire post to it.
The Tenth good Thing about Barney, written by Judith Viorst and illustrated by Erik Blegvad. This adorable classic is about a boy losing his cat. Such smart writing. "Barney is in the ground, and he's helping to grow flowers," the boy's father says at one point. "You know," the boys responds, "that's a pretty nice job for a cat."
About Dying by Sara Bonnet Stein. I'm crazy about this oldie, which is a book for kids and parents to read together, but also has some great information in smaller print off to the side.
When a Pet Dies by Fred Rogers. Did Mr. Rogers ever do anything that wasn't awesome? No. No, he didn't. This is no exception.
The Fall of Freddie the Leaf: A Story of Life for All Ages by Leo Buscaglia. The main character in this book is a leaf who is coming to terms with the fact that he will fall (die) at some point. It's quite gentle and calming and would be great introduction to death, particularly for sensitive kids who may be prone to anxiety over the subject.
Now One Foot, Now the Other by Tomie dePaola. Okay, this one is not about death, but about the reality of growing old and getting sick. It is one of my favorite children's books of all time — so sweet and poignant, it is guaranteed to make you cry. And it has a happy ending. My daughter loves it as much as I do. (DePaola's Nana Upstairs & Nana Downstairs is really nice, too.)

Record Proportion Happy With Local Area
The proportion of Scots who are happy with the community where they live has soared to its highest level in a decade.
A total of 93.6% rate their neighbourhood as a very or fairly good place to live and say that levels of anti-social behaviour are relatively low, according to the Scottish Household Survey. However, the figures for 2009 also show a stark difference between the quality of life for those in deprived areas of Scotland compared to people living in wealthy communities.
While just over three-quarters (77%) of people living in the richest communities said they were very happy with their neighbourhood, only one-quarter of those in the poorest areas said the same. The annual survey, which began in 1999, found that people living in deprived areas are also less likely to believe their neighbourhood is a pleasant or safe place to live and four in 10 people in those areas believe there is no sense of community.
Concern about anti-social behaviour appears to be falling and the survey showed people were more worried about litter than drug dealing. One-quarter said they believed waste on the streets was a common problem in their neighbourhood, although only 19% of people had actually seen any, while 12% were concerned about drug misuse.
Again, people living in the most deprived areas were more likely to worry about drug misuse or dealing, with 14% of people from the poorest communities saying they had actually seen people taking illegal substances or had been offered them.
Adults in rural Scotland are happiest with the place where they live and say they feel safe in their communities. They are also less likely to complain about problems with other residents, although they are much more likely to complain about poor public transport links.
