Johann Joseph Fux
born in Hirtenfeld, Styria, composed during the Baroque period
After this time, Fux was in the service of a Hungarian bishop, presumably Leopold, Count von Kollonitsch, who, despite becoming Archbishop of Esztergom and Primate of Hungary, often made his residence in Vienna. On two visits to the Archbishop, Emperor Leopold I, heard some masses by Fux, which he praised highly. From this point on, Fux enjoyed imperial favour to an ever increasing degree. In 1696 Fux married C.J. Schnitzenbaum, the daughter of a secretary in the Lower Austrian government. In 1698 the emperor appointed Fux court composer, going over the heads of both his Kapellmeister and Chief Steward. Fux also served as organist at the Schottenkirche in Vienna until 1702.
Around the year 1700, at the emperor's expense, he traveled to Rome to study under Pasquini. After Leopold's death, Fux retained the office of court composer under Joseph I, who ruled from 1705 to 1711. On 1 October 1705, Fux took on the added responsibility of vice-Kapellmeister at St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna. He concentrated his efforts at St. Stephen's on the music which was performed before the statue of Our Lady of Patsch, which had been brought to Vienna and placed on the high alter of the cathedral in 1697 by Emperor Leopold I. In 1712, Fux succeeded J.M. Zacher as Kapellmeister at St. Steven's, a position he was to hold for the next three years. Meanwhile, in 1713, after the ascension of Charles VI to the imperial throne, Fux became vice-Kapellmeister to the court and Kapellmeister to Wilhelmine Amalia, the widow of Joseph I. With the death of M.A. Ziani, Charles VI appointed Fux to the position of principal court Kapellmeister. Fux occupied this important post until his death in 1741.
Today, Fux is perhaps best known for his counterpoint treatise Gradus Ad Parnassum, written in 1725. In this text, written in dialogue form after the works of Plato, Fux outlines the rules of counterpoint according to the usage of Palestrina. In the text, it is Palestrina who plays the role of the teacher Aloisius, while Fux himself is the student. As a composer, Fux wrote many secular works, including both operas and secular oratorios, but he was first and foremost a composer of music for the church. Here, Fux composed in two distinct styles; the stylus a cappella, in which he took the music of Palestrina as his model, and the stylus mixtus. It is this musical conservatism, as both a theorist and composer, that made the music of Fux the culmination of Baroque music in Austria. At the same time, his reliance on contrapuntal technique helped to lay the foundations of Viennese Classicism. ~ Stephen Kingsbury, Rovi

Why is having sex with only one person not fun?
I'm not even going to comment on having sex for fun is wrong. I don't agree with that in the absolute slightest. Oops, I commented.
Why is having sex with only one person not fun?
Although I do agree with what you're saying. People seem like they are taking longer to mature. But I'd attribute it partly to the fact that it's no longer considered the norm to get married so young anymore. People still do - I've got a surprising amount of people from my High School getting married at 19/20.
High School used to always say at 18 you become an adult and you start being treated like one. I don't really agree. Legally you might be. But it doesn't seem to matter how mature you are at 18, people will still treat you as a "young person". It's ridiculous.
Sig by Deanis
18 always seemed ages away for me. I thought that I'd be all amazing an adult and stuff, turns out I feel exactly the same as I do a few years ago. I cannot imagine anyone getting married at this age unless they were extremely certain that they'd stay with that person for the rest of their life. I'm trying to grasp how to cook myself, but marriage seems to be a huge leap at a young age. Though, I'd do it in a second if I wasn't going to be looked down on people. I look really young as it is.
I think it's more to do with people "living their lives" so they don't do things at a young age. Apparently it's not fun to be married. I also don't get while people want to wait to get a life to have kids, it's like kids are an overwhelming burden on people. No, they're not.
Friends with benefits, hm. That concept is fine with me. I see sex as "something special" or whatever you want to call it, so it wouldn't be my personal choice to phone someone up and ask for sex.
Last edited by Sixty; 01-31-2009 at 05:30 PM.
Of course I want to get married. I'm getting married on September. I love my woman, and I really don't need to have sex with different people. I just want to be with her for the rest of my life.
PSN: zSkill_Palad1n_-
I would hate to get married right now. As I said, one of my friends is getting married in July. She'll be 20 by then. I am certainly happy for her. It is perhaps worth noting the boyfriend is about 24 or 25 and a primary school teacher, so he already has a secure enough job going there and he already owns a house. So I think that is slightly different from two 19 year olds getting married, moving out of their parents home and trying to make it.
I have a well paid job and I can't afford to live out of home yet. If I had a boyfriend/husband to support me we'd still struggle - not unless he was getting like $60,000 a year. We could probably still afford the rent and food... but not much else. This may just be me, but I'd prefer to be a better finacial situation when I get married - so my savings don't get destroyed. I am sure at one point I'll have to struggle a bit, but I'd prefer to do so when I have finished Uni and have a fulltime job.

I really couldn't imagine us getting married anytime soon.
I mean, we're moving in together sometime this year (when my mother gets around to buying us a flat for us to rent, harhar.) but marriage? No.
When we're both settled into our careers and have had our fun then sure, but we're both sure on the fact that it's a pretty stupid idea for us to be getting married now.
My aunty was with her partner for 10 years before they got married. I can see us being like that. Mainly because I got with Jay when I was 15, so by the time we're ready too we probably would have been together that long!

Piracy Report
Pirate Activity in the Red Sea/Eritrea Area
Further to our previous media releases detailing a potential new trend in pirate tactics in an area of the Red Sea off Eritrea (see Figure 1), Neptune Maritime Security has had the opportunity to examine the available data through our Intelligence Bank, including material supplied by intelligence sources, and presents the following report to interested parties. In July, pirate activity off Eritrea was limited to small numbers of pirates mounting similarly small-scale attacks on shipping. For example, on July 20th, an oil tanker, Front Pride, was attacked by a single skiff containing six pirates while underway in position 13:27N-042:39E, approximately 27nm NW off Assab, Eritrea. Pirates fired an RPG at the vessel, but the armed security team onboard returned fire and the pirates aborted the attack. Then, on July 21st, a cargo vessel was fired upon by a single skiff containing six pirates while underway in position 13:29N 042:26E, approximately 30nm off Assab. The location of this second attempted hijacking is just 3.5nm from the scene of the incident on the previous day and it is highly likely that this was the same pirate group. On this occasion, the attempt was again deterred by armed security personnel onboard the cargo vessel. This incident occurred some 48nm away from the first 'swarm' attack on August 7th (see Figure 2, Attack 1), but without further intelligence
IMB Warns Of Rampant Piracy In Indonesian Waters
Pirate attacks more than doubled in Indonesia in the first nine months of 1999, prompting the International Maritime Bureau (IMB) to warn mariners to take urgent precautions in Indonesian waters. The number of actual and attempted pirate raids worldwide surged by more than 25 percent to 180 in the first three quarters of 1999, up from 143 in the same period in 1998, the IMB's Piracy Reporting Center in Malaysia's capital said in a report

65lbs gone and counting!!
Fat 2 Fit - One Woman's Journey
I'm boring, that being said my breakfast 6/7 days a week is a hug bowl of oats I mix with boiling water then when it soaks up into a porridge I add a tablespoon of coconut oil, some agave and maple and BAM! Delicious way to start the day. I have zero issues and feel like a million bucks.
If you want to eat a low nutrition food that is simply 70+% sugar...go for it.
Eating primal is not a diet, it is a way of life.
Don't forget to play!
I've never liked any kind of gruel. I've eaten when there was nothing else to eat, but it often left me hungry. I used to make granola and that was tasty. I tend to prefer foods that require chewing.
Life is death. We all take turns. It's sacred to eat during our turn and be eaten when our turn is over. RichMahogany.
When I eat them I put bacon and a runny egg on it. No sugar needed.
Can't eat them. They give me bloat and major carb crash. I actually do like them and like to bake with them, but no more. Not worth it. They are on the junk pile with the rest of the grain family.
I made apple crisp with ground almonds and raisins and butter as a topping. It worked out really well, although it didn't have the crunch factor that oats had. But, no crash afterwards. Will be making it again for the holidays, as I don't do too many paleo desserts.

CBNNews.com - Tensions rose between Muslim groups in Egypt and Iran during the three-day Id al-Fitr festival, marking the end of the Islamic month of Ramadan.
In Egypt, security forces from the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP) took over the Abu Joud mosque, used by the Muslim Brotherhood, the country's opposition party.
According to al-Jazeera, NDP troops decorated the area with banners and flags for the festival during the night, under the auspices of the Egyptian government and the "watchful eyes" of the Waqf (Islamic religious trust) Ministry officials.
In 1954, the Egyptian government banned the Muslim Brotherhood, but it remains the nation's largest opposition group, holding one-fifth of the seats in the parliament.
Meanwhile in Iran, the country's security forces began arresting members of the Democratic Solidarity Party of al-Ahwaz for not celebrating Id al-Fitr in accordance with the government's policies.
According to al-Arabiya television, Iranian security forces are arresting Arabs indiscriminately to wipe out their identity and terrorize the population.

On Zanzibar, tourists have become an important source of income, as well as (glass) waste. The island is not yet equipped to process all this glass, which means it makes its way into the natural surroundings. But what if the tourism that caused the waste, could also contribute to processing it?
During the last Dutch Design Week bottle-up launched its first results: seven products made out of the glass waste.
This is the first step towards more constructive solutions, such as developing building materials out of obsolete glass.
The foundation bottle-up is an initiative of Hubert & Elisabeth van Doorne and Dutch Design Week.

With Abbott stabilized around 65, the next move will either be: 1) a drop if the broad market has a correction or mini-crash because ABT tends to track the market...OR...2) a major upside move when the exactly date of the stock split is announced because that will remove uncertainty and allow investors to time their purchase of the stock (or options). There is both up and downside potential here. However, I am personally long on the stock and believe that a year from now there will be increased value coming from the price of the two separate companies, plus the increased value of the companies when they are free to focus on their separate business lines. So I'm ignoring the pundits trying to "talk down" the stock, which in my experience sometimes turns out to be feeble attemptes to manipulate the stock so institutions can buy the stock cheaper.
I think it is decided to be Jan. 1st of 2013. Pls check the most recent Q report.
This is from the July 18 8-K filing. I deleted much of the text in the answer, but the last line document's the company's (continued) position.Q2) What is the update on Abbott's planned separation into two leading health care companies?A2) In October 2011, Abbott announced plans to separate into two publicly traded companies,...We continue to expect the separation to be completed at the end of this year.
Any insight regarding which units will go into what bucket?

The Old Town of Oslo is an inner city area of Oslo with 22,000 inhabitants. Education levels are very low by Norwegian standards and unemployment rates are twice the Olso average. The area is reckoned to be one of the most deprived areas in Norway. Some years ago initiatives were taken to turn the trend of a negative development into a positive social, cultural and environmental development of Oslo Old Town by civic involvement and partnerships between national, municipal and local authorities and community organisations. The main goals of the project are: to improve the environment, housing and health conditions, to create new jobs, to draw attention to the assets represented by historical monuments and sites and a living urban environment.
The city of Oslo has 460 000 inhabitants and is devided into 25 Urban Districts. Oslo
Old Town is one of these districts situated in the eastern part of the inner city and
traditionally a part of the working-class area of Oslo. The Old Town has today 22 000
inhabitants and is rapidly growing. The growth rate in 1993 was 8,6%.
-A childrens City Farm was erected in 1993, initiated by children at a workshop and
built by local people on employment schemes and local people giving their free labour

REST IN PEACE, Channel 6 ZooBalloon.
The once-ubiquitous figure over the Schuylkill Expressway that lived at the Philadelphia Zoo was damaged by the winter weather and had to be deflated yesterday.
"Due to unprecedented weather conditions throughout the winter, including last evening's heavy and wet snowfall, the Channel 6 ZooBalloon has accumulated an estimated 5 to 10 tons of snow, which is equivalent to the weight of five hippos," a statement from 6ABC read. "The tremendous volume of snow has caused irreparable damage, despite efforts to minimize its impact."
Because of today's weather conditions, the manufacturer recommended that the balloon be deflated.

quote GTA LegendDude you send me a link to a site and you don't check its contents lol?
Its on the front page, under "Blueberry Mystery".
Its probably nothing, but at this point anything and everything is worth looking in to.
The number is 333 747 123.
It doesn't look like a phone number or a fax, it looks more like a code or something of that nature.
OR A PIN!!. (Now I'm thinking aloud and typing as it comes to me ) "For $100,000 all of the mysteries of the universe will be yours, including a PIN code to enter the Epsilon compound in the hills overlooking San Andreas".
On the 'official' Epsilon website created by Rcokstar, http://www.epsilonprogram.com/ and when you send a fax to 1-866-FUN-CULT you receive this information,
"AZUR $10,000 For the person that wants to be saved, but not that much, let us suggest the AZUR pinnacle- Raise your left hand and recite the words: "Take me to my father-father, brother-uncle. Kifflom." We'll do the rest. Because we all know, there is Kifflom and there is Kraft, and both be praised. Then send $10,000.
TOPAZ $25,000 TOPAZ level salvation is for the person who wants a better life, wants a cleaner soul, and is prepared to shop around for a great deal. The TOPAZ level Epsilonist receives all of the benefits of AQUAMARINE level participation, minus some of the conjugal rights, especially on Thursdays.
AQUAMARINE $79,000 It's a small price to pay for personal fulfillment. At the AQUAMARINE level, you gain all of the riches of your AZUR and TOPAZ brothers and sisters, however you will be given a special lapel pin and invited to more parties.
TURQUOISE $100,000 All the TURQUOISE level, complete enlightenment will occur. N It's not new age! The music is terrible and makes people into suburbanite eunuchs! We're looking for a new wage. For $100,000 all of the mysteries of the universe will be yours, including a PIN code to enter the Epsilon compound in the hills overlooking San Andreas. TURQUOISE members will take weekly meeting with the Honorable Cris Formage in a relaxed setting with everyone wearing only robes that are easily disrobed".
I know this information has been posted before but I just wanted you all to see so that we can tie things together without just posting links around the place.
quote FrazebI don't own GTA IV. Is there actually an in game Internet site for Epsilon?
I am aware of GTA IV having internet cafes and Internet access to in game website.
If there is an Epsilon site on GTA IV it could reveal some further clues about this Epsilon mystery in San Andreas. If you could check that out?

quote GTA LegendCould you or perhaps someone else check this in-game GTA IV site? As it could hold some further clues or information.
quote GTA LegendI don't think it looks like a phone number, more like a serial number. Do you have any idea of what the significance of this number is?
I have just stumbled across some overlooked, rare and possibly unseen information.
The originator of the famous "red truck with dent" line was by someone called 'jblend', there has been some speculation as to whether he was/is a Rockstar member of staff or had played a role in the creation of San Andreas, however 'jblend' has denied being a part of Rockstar.
The information is from an Italian website, the same website where the "4 AM Series" originated from, which in my opinion was complete and utter bullshit.
However here are other statements said by this famous 'jblend' that for some reason hasn't had as much coverage or none at all compared to his INfamous "red truck with dent" riddle:
"To be a student of Kifflom, you need to speak with the trees. What do they tell you?"
- I cannot make nor head or tail of what this could possibly mean.
"I am filled with the spirit of Kifflom. Do you believe in Kifflom? I want to share the Truth of the Epsilon Program with the people of the world! would you like to accept Kifflom into your heart? Kifflom exists outside of space/time."
- Nor this either, if I'm really in a conspiracy-mode I would suggest perhaps "share The Truth of Epsilon" is CJ's friend 'The Truth'
"Kifflom is the one who whispers secrets to the trees. He's my father-father and father-brother. Praise to Kiff!"
- jblends constant mention of trees leads me to think of Red County and any green area, i.e MT. Chiliad, Back & Beyond.
"If you see the number one, then you're on your way. Only true believers of Kifflom (praise!!!) can enter the portals. So Keep listening to the trees and I am sure that you'll find your path. The brochures is not produced yet. Cris told me he was still making it. So be patient. Maybe one day he'll finish it."
- This one is one of the captions that, to me, has a lot interesting facts surrounding it. The most important to me is, "The brochures is not produced yet", we've been looking for that 'brochure' for years, only to now find that it doesn't exist yet.
I'm now thinking that this is a reference to GTA IV, stating that the brochure has not been made yet, this information was posted, indeed before GTA IV was created as well. and now I've been told that there's an in-game website on GTA IV for Epsilon, perhaps there is this famous brochure within GTA IV. The "number 1" and "trees" still doesn't make much sense to me.
"If you learn the true meaning of Kifflom (praise him!!!) then you can enter the golden portals of Puertas Amarillas Valley. Kifflom is your father-father and brother-uncle. But he does not know you. The great Kifflom has to know you in order to allow you into the Celestial Temple. If you are a serious student, I am certain you will find the way to Kifflom!"
- "If you learn the true meaning of Kifflom" makes me think the word itself, Kifflom, is perhaps an anagram or has a meaning to it.
"The UFO phenomenon is an easy frame for people to create. Often, when something is outside of our knowledge, we create a frame for comfort and convenience. Much like the frame of a work of art, it can alter how we experience the focal point. The frame of any picture can either add or detract from how we see the picture. The frame, if appropriate will increase our appreciation of the focal point. Kifflom is the focal point here. My only spiritual leader is Kifflom. I don't know all of his followers. There are more and more of them every day! So there may be some that I've never met! But one day, I hope I can meet them. Praise Kiff!!!"
- This could actually be a way of telling us that this whole Epsilon mystery doesn't exist, by stating the "UFO phenomenon is an frame for people to create" perhaps relating the belief of UFO's in real life to Epsilon.
"Why do you seek help from our loving Kifflom? (Praise!!!). The trees are everywhere. The trees sing of old stories in the night. The trees surround and abound in the valley of five mountains."
- Now this is intriguing and I'm sure this could set of a new adventure, what is/and are 'the valley of the five mountains' and what are their locations?
"There is a hill just west of Los Santos airport where there are loads of campers and hikers who talk about epsilon. There is an independent group of Kifflom followers near there. They're not connected with me, so I'm not sure. The young are usually more open to the words of Kifflom than the old. Have you ever heard the trees whisper? Listen to the trees and see if the young followers of Kiff will help you."
- Well we know what the location of 'the hill' is and we know who the hikers are and we've all been here before.
"Have you heard the tree's whisper?" perhaps the tree's are here? and the "independent group of kifflom followers", we could be looking for elderly looking people, since "the young are usually more open to the words" (the hikers that we've heard speak), maybe there are different peds that too speak of Kifflom, just maybe a bit more secretly than the others.
"I usually meet with other followers at the monthly book club. Last month we read "Life of Pi". It was great. I wonder if the tiger really existed at all? Why don't you follow the hikers and see where they're going! You never know where a new friend might lead you. The date of the earthquake was very important. Cris Formage and I learned a lot that day. It was the genesis of everything... the day he dented the truck. The day the trees opened up. Sometimes the giant sand worms, Shai-halud, will come up during the sandstorms. Did you see Shai-halud? Did he attack you? Walk with an arrhythmic step in the desert."
- The 'Monthly book club' and whoever 'Pi' is from 'Life of Pi' needs some looking into. "Follow the hikers and see where they're going" is pretty self-explanatory, I'm sure we've tried that however we should attempt again as this holds a lot of potential. The "date of the Earthquake" is maybe a reference to San Fierro, as the city has a fault line and earthquake ruins around the city, based on the real life earthquake that occured in San Francisco (San Fierro), and the date of that was April 18th 1906. What the significance is about that date is, I don't know, something else we should look into as the description is very detailed. (the earthquake could however also be the 'earthquake' which occured in San Andreas (fake) which was the reason why the bridges were closed to SF and LV at the start, the date of that earthquake though I am unaware of.)
Who or what 'Shai-halud' is, is beyond me, possibly another anagram. and 'Walk with an arrhythmic step in the desert' could possibly mean, and that's if I'm being completely conspirathist and all options open , if you remember to those who have played Goldeneye on N64, in Egyptian temple, to unlock the golden gun, you'd have to walk on the tiles in a certain order to unlock the golden gun. I'm not crazy lol, but we've come so far in this Epsilon mystery, that anything and everything is worth suggesting.
"In Mount Chiliad talk about clanking sounds in the trees. There is definitely something strange about the trees in that area. It's almost as if they weren't real. Real trees can speak to us. Fake ones cannot. Unless they're those cell phone towers disguised as trees. Then they can talk to us. But only if we own a cell phone and have paid the bills on time. There are a lot of rock formations in the San Andreas area that are the direct result of earthquake activity."
- The first few lines about Mt. Chiliad could actually be stating that the mystery DOES NOT lie in/near Mt. Chiliad. 'It's almost as if they weren't real' and 'Fake ones cannot', possibly meaning the mystery doesn't lie here. OR on the flip side, it could be hinting us in the direction of Mt. Chiliad by saying 'There is definitely something strange about the trees in that area'.
"There are a lot of rock formations in the San Andreas area that are the direct result of earthquake activity", this is very interesting and a large clue here, we should definitely look into this.
"The MEMORIAL is for the earthquake. I promise; if you really listen, the trees will speak to you. The people of Mt. Chiliad may speak of them, also."
- Where/what is the 'Memorial'? Possibly a statue of some kind? I'm assuming its somewhere in San Fierro as that's the apparent location of the earthquake. Also the people of Mt. Chiliad may give clues, "The people of Mt. Chiliad may speak of them, also".
"I have been a believer in Kiff since I found the One True Path on Oct. 17th, the year of the big 'quake. I do not work for r*. I am not "messing" with anything. I am just trying to guide people along the Path. The worms come when you walk on the sand with a regular, rhythmic pattern. If you walk arrhythmically, they will not sense you. (They're very sensitive to vibration). That's when it all started. Cris and I had the accident. It's important because that's when Cris and I first understood Kiff. The trees whisper to those who are patient and willing to listen. It's not a process you can rush. It just *happens*. If you open yourself up to the experience, it may happen to you!"
- This is a very intriguing statement and definitely needs looking into. Oct 17th doesn't ring any bells to me, all I can think of is that GTA San Andreas was released on 28th Oct. The 'year of the big quake' is 1906, as I stated before, however I'm starting to think this talked about 'earthquake' isn't the one I mentioned before in 1906 (real life), I'm thinking its the fictional earthquake that happened in San Andreas causing the bridges to be closed, thus not allowing us into other cities early in the game, however the date of this quake is unknown. Maybe 1906 is a code. "The worms come when you walk on the sand with a regular, rhythmic pattern. If you walk arrhythmically, they will not sense you. (They're very sensitive to vibration)", again making me think of Goldeneye 007 .
And I still don't know what the damn 'tree's are supposed to be.
"Our energy lives on during the Beyond Time. Father-Father, Brother-Uncle Kifflom looks after us even in death. The followers of Kiff prefer to be buried, although a handful have expressed a preference for cremation."
- Try checking out the graveyards in further detail and perhaps any place to do with fire or where someone could be cremated, if your feeling really wacky, "BEYOND Time" could mean 'Back & Beyond', our famous Glendale spawn point.
"August 28th has no significance. But Oct. 17, 1989 does. (And not because of the World Series!). Everybody in San Andreas will tell you. That's when it happened. It's when Chris first met Kraff. It's also the date the trees danced. And everybody (like me) who lived on Page Mill Road knew that it would never be the same. San Andreas would never be the same. Neither would I. Oh, and since you asked... that's the day my red truck got a dent."
- "August 28th has no significance", Oh crap . (I should really have read each through before writing my comments, as I'm going one by one), well anyway at least that has answered that question, and perhaps answered the question of the unknown date for the fictional earthquake that happened in San Andreas could now be Oct 17 1989.
"It's also the date the trees danced. And everybody (like me) who lived on Page Mill Road knew that it would never be the same", where is Page Mill Road? perhaps another anagram?
I really think we should look into the date Oct 17 1989, find the true meaning of 'the trees' and determine what is the mystery behind walking in the desert in 'regular, rhythmic pattern'.

Good work!
At this rate the Epsilon myth will live on for at least a decade, even when GTA IX will be old.
P.S: Go to Bayside, there are 2 inaccessible phone booths there, which have nr. 1's on them. Maybe you/CJ can enter them under the right conditions.
Edited to correct a spelling error.

Nice find dude, I'll be sure to check that out tonight.
Perhaps the phone booth is the portal?
"If you see the number one, then you're on your way. Only true believers of Kifflom (praise!!!) can enter the portals"

quote Brazillian23Rockstar proved Bigfoot to be fake in San Andreas, which is why the rumour has stopped. Where has it been officially proven that Epsilon is fake? Apart from your own assumption.

Dude nice find! Where did you get all this info??
All those quotes definitely need some looking into.
I restarted the game to see if I could find any new info regarding myths specially Epsilon.

I have just made a VERY unusual and interesting discovery, though it may be regarded by some as a coincidence, I think this is very VERY strange and too much to be a coincidence and definatly needs some further looking in to.
I entered on Google maps, simply "Page Mill Road USA"
(I got this name from jblends post "It's also the date the trees danced. And everybody (like me) who lived on Page Mill Road knew that it would never be the same. San Andreas would never be the same. Neither would I. Oh, and since you asked... that's the day my red truck got a dent."
After entering simply "Page Mill Road USA" in google maps, I was directed to only ONE location, which to me seemed a bit unusual as there were no other address recommendations.
Now things get very very strange. Page Mill Road, is in San Francisco (San Fierro), after zooming into Page Mill Roads exact location and toggling on 'satellite', you see a Country Club and a Golf Course, the same as you would in San Fierro .
Very very strange. I know that this can be classed as nothing more than a coincidence, but if so, this is one big weird coincidence.
Try it all yourself.

Yeah, I saw that in the maps.
I got something:
A caller to Area 53(WCTR) from BlueBerry says; "Kifflom," the host for the talk show agrees, then he continues talking about Epsilon, another caller is on and says; I picked up religious pamphlets but never understood them, the host says; try reading between the lines and you will know everything about the aliens.
I got another "BIG" clue, but I will make a thread, because it's sort of a discovery.
I made a rather odd discovery while doing the missions "Interdiction" for Mike Toreno, the first time I attempted the mission I failed but the second time around, I shot down the Helicopters and went on my way down the canyon(desert, where the big jump is located) to get the contraband from the Helicopter, as I went down with my Sanchez I spotted a RV coming my way, it made a stop at the end of the path(to me this was weird because I never seen any pedestrian vehicles in the mountain. So instead of going for the contraband, I stopped, got off my bike and looked at the RV for a while, nothing happened, I shot it, nothing happened, I made the peds get out by shooting it until it was about to explode, they got out and just stood still doing nothing. One of the peds was a Father(priest) which is really weird because I never seen one on the streets, the whore was whatever's I seen many of them. I shit the whore in the head and beat the priest to death but nothing happened so I continued on my mission.
The part that sucks is that I went back to see if they were there and they weren't. By bad luck I wasn't paying any attention to the time or day, I just know that there was daylight. And I was going to save the game to go back to the exact same time and day but I overwritten the data. If anyone wants to go check it out feel free to do so, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the mission Interdicition because it didn't happen the first time. I'm sure the day is not a Tuesday or Wednesday because I went there those days and didn't find smack.
As I was doing this I remembered the quote; "Take me to my Father-Father Brother-Uncle." and all the other Father related quotes. Could this be a vital clue to cracking Epsilon?? Or just a Easter Egg/Refernce/Spoof? If I would have done something differently would the Father took me to the Red Truck with the dent on the right fender?

"try reading between the lines and you will know everything about the aliens."
That sounds like a large clue right there, I've never heard this (I probably have done but as you progress through the game the dialogue of the radio stations change, I probably thought nothing of it had it been during the early stage of the game, as we were all unaware of this Epsilon mystery). Nice find dude.
I've done a bit of research into some of the 'jblend' quotes.
"I usually meet with other followers at the monthly book club. Last month we read "Life of Pi".
- The 'Life Of Pi' is actually a real life book written by Yann Martel, the book is about religion and spirituality , Epsilon is somewhat classed as a religion and spirituality.
"The worms come when you walk on the sand with a regular, rhythmic pattern. If you walk arrhythmically, they will not sense you. (They're very sensitive to vibration)". - This is a direct quote from a novel called 'Dune' written by Frank Herbert.
I'm beginning to think that perhaps the creator of Epsilon, was a fan of the following 2 books, and could have possibly based the whole entire Epsilon program on the events and incidents of these books. I think looking into these 2 books could maybe uncover some more clues as this could of been Rockstars source and got their ideas from these books.
On a different note, Im starting to wonder about the word itself, 'Kifflom'.
Its not a word that randomly comes to mind when trying to name something, and its not a word that you can create just like that in your head, without any reference or having it based on something. I believe it is an anagram or each letter stands for something.
Could the 'FF' mean "Father-Father"?

My wife Lori and I had the opportunity to meet and listen to Greg Mortenson here in Bozeman a few years ago. He was speaking about his book, ' Three Cups Of Tea'. Now we find out from CBS's show 60 Minutes that some of the most inspiring and dramatic stories in the best-selling book, "Three Cups of Tea," by Greg Mortenson, are not true. Multiple sources tell "60 Minutes" as part of an investigation by correspondent Steve Kroft that will be broadcast on "60 Minutes" on Sunday, April 17.
Are you a book reader? Do you think you'll buy this?
Shania Twain's highly anticipated autobiography has been set for a May 3rd release date. The autobiography will be published by Atria Books, an imprint of Simon and Schuster, and has been entitled "From This Moment On."
Don't most photos look more finished off and classy with a frame around them?
With scrapbooking, you have so many choices of ways to frame your photos. Here are a few ideas:
To Pose or Not to Pose? That IS the question.
Undoubtedly, our photos are the centerpiece of our scrapbook pages. When we are the photographer we more than likely have scrapbooking always on our mind, and we have to consider if we want our subjects posed or not...
We all love the sense of touch. When we see something, we want to touch it. We want to feel if it is hard or soft, rough or smooth.
By adding texture to our layouts, it makes people connect with it...
May 3rd is the day you'll be able to read the book. Shania is also in the pipeline for her own reality show 'Why Not?' which is scheduled to premiere on Oprah Winfrey's OWN Network in April.
Almost all my friends read books. Constantly. They carry a book around with them, if they are in getting their oil changed, they are reading, going to a doctor or dentist appointment, they are reading. I don't read books like I should. I'm more of a magazine reader. I found this recent study though that says what you read reveals your personality. Here's what the study found:
Okay, I'll admit it. I read girly magazines. Actually, there are some really great articles sometimes. I was looking through Redbook recently and found that the type of coffee a guy drinks can tell a female what type of lover he is! :)
Local author Douglas Stream from Belgrade will be having a book signing and reading of his book Better Late Than Never this Saturday the 8th from 3-6pm at Hastings on Main Street. It's an inspiring story where Stream reveals all. Written from the point of view of a recovering addict, not a counselor or researcher, the book provides the reader with rare insight into sexual disorders. An inspirational book filled with adventure, hope, and divine truth, Better Late Than Never will encourage you to overcome your fears and weaknesses on the way to a more productive and meaningful life.
Each Wednesday we will provide you with the books we think you should read. You will have just enough time to go and get the book before for the weekend. To start off our weekly book updates, we thought we would round off the top books of 2010.

Pawn Stars star Chumlee was born "Austin Russell". He got the nickname in elementary school, as his friends named him after the sidekick of cartoon character Tennessee Tuxedo, "Chumley" the walrus.
Chumlee is Corey Harrison's devoted childhood friend. He's just like a son to Rick and he's been around since he was a kid.
Everybody loves Chum, as he always wants to give his patrons the best deal and often takes their side — a trait that never fails to push Rick's buttons.
In latest buzz, Chumlee was taken into custody at a Las Vegas jail on Wednesday, March 9, on 19 drug charges and one weapon charge. Metro Police say they were serving a search warrant in a sexuāl assault investigation when they discovered mēthamphetamine, mārijuana and firearms in his southwest Las Vegas Valley home.

JAY WRIGHT and the Villanova Wildcats are no strangers to the big stage. They have played and responded well in their fair share of big games, and playing No. 2 Syracuse will be no different, even if it is no longer the Big East matchup it was a year ago.
Villanova is No. 8 in the Associated Press poll, thanks to a surprising 11-0 start that included wins over then-No. 2 Kansas and No. 22 Iowa. Tomorrow, the Wildcats will get arguably their biggest test of the season as they travel to the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, N.Y., to battle the 11-0 Orange at 2 p.m.

For the time being there are but two ways in which to control cancer: surgical intervention and radiotherapy. As far as uterine cancer is concerned the surgical technic has been brought to perfection, and further development is hardly to be expected. Thus, significant improvement of the results in treatment of uterine cancer is synonymous with improvement in radiotherapy.
The idea of this paper is to show that—according to the Radiumhemmet experience—it is possible to improve the radiotherapeutic results in cancer of the corpus as well as in cancer of the cervix and to report on various procedures which my colleagues and I have adopted for that purpose.
For the last five years about 85 cases of corpus cancer have been referred annually to the Radiumhemmet for radiotherapeutic treatment. About half these cases are not suitable for surgical treatment either because of the spread of the growth

With the BCS National Championship decided, NFL head coaches are licking their chops over the latest batch of draftees to come out of Nick Saban's system at Alabama. They are all great players, but who would be best for the Denver Broncos?
As a fan of both the Denver Broncos and the Alabama Crimson Tide, I would absolutely love to see as many 'Bama players as possible at Mile High.
With Denver's surprising (or unsurprising, for the Tim Tebow faithful) success they will likely miss out on the really good catches coming out of Alabama this year, such as Trent Richardson. That's the only downside to going to the playoffs.
This is a scenario of "What if?"
Also, it's something a little different than Tim Tebow, as much as I love him!
Most of these guys will be in Mile High some day, but in a different uniform.
National championship-winning teams win the trophy for a reason, and that is their star-studded lineup. It's fun to think about what these stars could do for your own NFL team, regardless of the likelihood of them ending up there.
Here are some players from the 2012 college football BCS National Championship team that should be in the 2012 NFL draft, and what they could do for Denver.
